Pip kneeled at the steps to the castle, wishing a silent prayer to his omniscient goddess Celestia. He then stood, and began his journey into the large, foreboding castle.

For such a large building erected by changelings, he found the inside to be oddly quiet, barely hearing a sound at all, other than the clatter of his own hooves as he ventured further, and further inside. He also noticed that the castle was also strangely well-kept.

He had always assumed that Chrysalis’ home would have been worlds different from those of his own home town, and yet that theory seemed to have been proved wrong. There were large, wooden doors spread along the walls, leading to what could only be thought as guest rooms, and torches hanging, keeping the whole place well lit.

“Wow, Chrysalis really keeps this place in good shape. I guess changelings care about appearances just as much as us ponies.”

Wandering the halls, Pip eventually made his way into a large antechamber, with tall pillars holding up the circular roof. At the other end of the room, he saw two large metal doors, engraved in gold.

“Huh, this must be the entrance to the throne room. But where is everyone? I haven’t seen a single changeling!”

Suddenly, our hero Pip heard the sounds of hooves knocking on the floor as they moved closer to him, turning around, he saw three foreboding enemies at the other end of the room. Before Pip stood the armor-clad and highly intoxicated mulberry knight: Grandberrya, the darling mistress of seduction, and number-1 whore in all the land; Alma-Rara, as well as a mysterious new third Hivenly Knight, who’s body seemed to be composed of an entirely black gelatin-like substance, with a large red horn

“Wait, I know who two of you are….who is that last knight, guys?” Pip said in confusion

“Oh, darling, that is the last Hivenly Knight: Sombretie. She doesn’t really get to leave the castle much, because her body is composed entirely of a substance named ‘Gak’. Sadly she never gets much screen time due to this," said Alma-Rara politely as Sombretie’s body jiggled angrily.

“And if you plan on - hic - taking out our queen, you have to go through us first!” exclaimed Grandberrya, stepping forward and dropping her now-empty liquor bottle, sword at the ready.

“Wait wait, so are we going to do this one at a time, or are you guys going to work as a team?” asked Pip, confused.

“Well, one at a time, of course. Why would you think otherwise?” asked Alma.

“Uhm…because I’d probably have no chance if you worked together?” said Pip, drawing his sword that had been given to him by Pinkamena

“Well, Darling, this is a Japanese video game, you’re just going to have to deal with our logic.”

Alma stepped back, pulling Sombretie with her so that Pip and Grandberrya had room to fight.

“Don’t worry, par’ner, I got cher back with this’n!” said Apple Gnome as she filled Pip’s body with strength, and just in time, as Grandberrya raised her sword in the air and brought it down, Pip managing to finally be able to block, thanks to the help of the earth spirit.

“Well I’ll be a - hic - drowned rat. This little pipsqueak can take a hit, finally!”

Pip took a step back, and swung at the knight, his sword slamming into her armor and knocking her back a step, but not hurting her.

“Nice try, punk, but this here is the finest armor in the world!”

“Shucks, she's right, par’ner. I think this calls fer a plan B!” said Gnome, removing the power she had granted him, as Raindine pushed her out of the way.

“C’mon, bro. I know together, we can beat this drunk with some smooth moves. Just let me take over!”
And with that, Pip suddenly felt like time was moving slower than normal as his reaction time was increased.

Grandberrya took a strong swing at our hero, and he ducked down, the sword colliding into a pillar and getting stuck for a moment. Taking the opportunity Pip swung at the knights back, cutting a couple of strings and making some of her armor fall off.

With a strong pull, Grandberrya forced the sword out of the stone, swinging around shattering her sword against the wall in another attempt to hit Pip, giving him a moment to cut off even more of her armor.

“Fine, I didn’t need the sword anyways!” the Hivenly Knight yelled in a drunken anger, running at Pip and trying to punch him over and over, but thanks to Raindine and the 5 D’s of dodge ball, he Ducked, Dodged, Dipped, Dove, and Dodged the flurry of punches, until she eventually fell over, exhausted and out of breath.

“Fine kid…..you win…for now!” she said, panting and lying on the ground.

“Woo, high five me, bro!” said the voice of Raindine in his head, and Pip lifted his hoof up in victory.

It was then that Alma-Rara stepped forward seductively, swaying her hips.

“Well, well, darling. I see you bested our half-wit swordsmare, little Pippy. But I’ll have you know that I won’t be so foolish.”

“I see, but what weapon are you going to use, miss? I don’t see you holding anything.”

“Oh, but I’ve already got the only weapon a lady ever needs: my dashing, succubic body," she said, running a hoof along her side.

“Wait…succubus?” Pip said, managing to remember something he had heard while in Pinkamena's manor, so he sheathed his sword, and reached into his bag.

“Oh my, surrendering so easily, Pippy? How polite of you.”

Pip pulled out the whip that he had taken from Pinkamenas house, the one that she had claimed only worked on demons and vampires.

“Getting a little kinky, are we?” she said with a chuckle, and then gasped in pain as Pip whipped her with it.

“Ouch! That crap really hurts!”

He grinned, realizing his plan worked, so whipped her again.

“Ouch! Hey, you cut that shit out!” she said, holding her side where she had been hit.

Pip whipped her again and again, leaving red marks on Alma-Rara’s body and smearing her makeup

“Alright, alright, I give, damnit! Just stop, that thing stings!”

Pip rolled up the whip, and put it back into his back, walking over to the strange goo-beast that was the final knight standing.
Sombretie only jiggled in place and gave Pip some menacing looks.

“Uhm…what am I supposed to do to this?” Pip said out loud, and gently pushed his sword into it, the sword just sliding into the goo and not affecting her. He slowly pulled the sword out, and shrugged, sheathing the sword and walking back to the throne room door, since the Gak monster could do nothing more than sneer and look at him.

With the Hivenly Knights defeated, Pip knew the real challenge awaited him, and he pondered: would he have what it takes to kill someone who had grown to become like a friend to him, even if she was the evil queen that had menaced the pony race?
