Archive 2: The end of Chrysalis

Previous Chapter

Date: September 8

Year: 2047

I have found it! The beginning of the 'Great Equestrian Fall' starts at the end of the 'Equestrian Revolution.' This was taken from the memory crystals made from the memories in Chrysalis' dead body.

"Chrysalis!" Came a loud, piercing yell that echoed throughout the hollow, candlelit chamber halls. Chrysalis kept running, unwilling to look back in fear of seeing her pursuer. "I must finish it!" She mumbled to herself. She took a right and found herself in front of a black steel door with a dent in the middle of it. She grabbed the doorknob and hurried inside, fighting to control her breath. Inside was empty except for the center, where a lone  dark red  orb gleamed dimly and lay firmly on the ground, as if being held by something. Chrysalis smiled and made her way toward it. She placed her right palm gently on top of it.

"You shall be born soon my child..." She whispered to the orb. She gripped it tightly with her shaky hand.  Her ears twitched as she listened to the constant "click clack" of hooves. Chrysalis quickly made her way to the wall adjacent to the door. She tapped the wall three times and it shifted apart, the walls sliding vertically away from the middle. A pathway of stairs leading straight down to another black steel door with a dent in it was where she ran through. She gripped the doorknob and opened it. In the room was six small altars, made of pure iron, circled the center. Five of the altars each had a different colored orb placed on it. Chrysalis moved swiftly over to the sixth altar, the one closest to the back of the room. She placed the orb gently on the metal altar. Her horn began glowing . The altars disappeared, as if they had never existed at all. Chrysalis smiled triumphantly.

"There you are..." Came a low, gruff whisper. Chrysalis turned around to face her adversary.

"It's been a while, Shining." She stated nonchalantly. Shining stood there, glaring at her. Some of his white coat had splattered blood randomly across it from the many Changelings he had killed to get there. His armor was dented and scratched, looking as if he had just walked out of an intense battle. His spear was covered entirely in blood, from spear tip to the end of the shaft. All together it gave him a wild and crazed look.

"Today you pay for what you did to my wife!" He yelled. Chrysalis smirked wickedly.

"Did you forget? I am your wife. I couldn't have you cheating on me now could I?" Shining Armor walked slowly forward, his hooves loudly echoing throughout the hollow, empty room.

"Are those your final words?" Shining asked her coldly.

"Why of course not." Chrysalis said teasingly, though it only made Shining even more enraged.

"Shining!" Shining turned around and found a group of six ponies running down the pathway he had just came from.

"Ah young Twilight and friends! You're all here to join in on the fun are you?" Chrysalis asked the group jokingly. They all stopped dead behind Shining. Shining gestured for them to stay put.

"I can handle this." He said reassuringly and walked closer to Chrysalis, brandishing his spear menacingly. She smiled gently at him.

"You can kill me now if you wish, I won't move an inch. I've given up entirely." She stated. Shining eyed her curiously, but decided to take her up on her offer. In the blink of an eye Shining pierced Chrysalis in the chest, in between her breasts. Chrysalis closed her eyes and smiled. Shining's eyes went wide with horror as he felt something  pierce through his body as well.

"W-what have you done!?" He questioned Chrysalis.

"I... had put a spell on you in case something like this happened. If I am injured by you, you receive the same injury as well!" She stated mockingly. Shining's body slumped forward, kneeling right before Chrysalis. Chrysalis smiled and slumped as well. She hugged Shining close to her and whispered gently in his ear.

"Till death do us part..."

And with that, the war to reclaim Equestria ended. But what became of the orbs? And what was their purpose? That answer was never found throughout her memories, meaning she purposely deleted parts of her memories so no one would figure out. Of course, I believe they have something to do with the Elements of Chaos...
