Chapters "So what?" Rainbow Dash said, looking at the newspaper. "He's just an escaped convict! I don't see what the big deal is!"
"ARE YOU KIDDING?!" Twilight screamed. "HE HURT MY BROTHER, HE'S CRAZY!!!" She was burning mad, and then calmed down.
"He's mad alright. What about you, Fluttershy?" asked Applejack.
"AHHHHH!! MUST PROTECT HOME AND BUY SECURITY SYSTEM!!!!" somebody screamed.
Fluttershy had just disappeared and was returning from her house, which was covered in signs saying "Do Not Enter", and the house was covered in steel. She then rushed to the security store.
"One hundred bits," said the security system man.
"I'LL TAKE IT!" she screamed. She then rushed to the picnic area. "Oh, looks dangerous." she said calmly.
Angel rolled her eyes. She squinted.
"He really should put better clothes on." Rarity said. Everybody stared at her. "For camouflage! Uh, et cetera?" she said worried. "Um, what about you, Pinkie Pie?"
Pinkie Pie shuddered. "The sound of his name sounds creepy!" she happily said. "Even his mane is creepy!" She bounced and bounced. CRASH.
"Oh, Celestia, a thunderstorm." Rarity said.
"I'll clear it!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"No, we'll just go in the library." Twilight said. "Spike made nachos." Rainbow Dash frowned.
"Goodness, this one's going to be a bad one!" Spike said as we served the nachos. "Hey, by the way, I got 2 things to say. 1, I never made the bachelor party during Cadance's wedding. And 2, have you heard of the new pony cars? Effective, eh? I prefer trains, however." Spike said. Twilight nodded. VROOOOM.
"And there's one now!" Applejack pointed at a police-like car. VROOM.
"Its police," Twilight said. The ponies in the car went out. They went towards -
"Our house!" Rainbow Dash said. KNOCK, KNOCK. Twilight opened the door. Spike frowned.
"Hello," the pony said. "I'm here to arrest somebody."
Everybody gasped.
"She is an accomplice to the escape of Jock. She is pink."
"Oh, I'm sure there is lots of bad guys here, I promise it. And maybe they're all pink!" Twilight said, trying to avoid saying anything related to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie would never do a crime , Twilight thought.
"She parties hard," Sargent Clock Rest-something said, as Rainbow Dash tried to read the name tag on the Sargent's hoof.
"I dunno know, there must be 2 or 3 in Ponyville or 8 in all of Equestria," Applejack said.
"She's possibly right, but its only a estimate." Rarity added.
"She parties EXTREMELY hard." Sargent Clock Restion said.
"Um, n-not here!" Rainbow Dash said.
"She is in this house, and I am looking at her." Restion said as he stared at Pinkie Pie. Twilight and the rest couldn't say anything.
"PINKIE GRANNY PIE, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!!!! " Restion roared as he hoofcuffed Pinkie Pie.
"You can't take her- she's innocent!" Twilight yelled.
"YOU WON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU ARREST MY FRIEND!!" Rainbow Dash roared. She punched Restion in the head, and Restion hit back. He pulled his back hooves up, and it hit Rainbow Dash, sending her soaring towards a bookshelf, and smashed her towards it, and the Unicorn Sergent got her and landed her on the floor. Sergent Restion stepped on her face, and she began to slowly bleed.
"Don't - you - dare." Restion said. Pinkie Pie gasped, and the rest stared.
"Ow," Rainbow Dash moaned as she saw her scar, bleeding slowly.
"Wait - maybe its a Changeli-" Twilight said, but the door closed and Pinkie Pie was in the car. They drove away.
"How could her?" they all said.
Far away, in a dark cave, 2 people were standing. One was a broken pony and one was a tall creature.
"The deed has been done." the pony said.
"Good," said the tall character. "Then, Luna's body will be corrupted and the War will begin."
"Yes, master," the pony said. "Let discord to the world return."
"Discord to the world will return..." repeated the tall character. "That is me, after all."
Shining Armor had healed from the escape, but pain still surrounded him.
One day, Twilight received a letter. "It says..." Spike muttered.
Dear Twilight,
"Hmmm... I should go." Twilight thought this over. She then approved this.
"Wait, Twilight, there's a P.S!" Spike said.
P.S.: Meet me at 7, we need to discuss something. Important-~ ~ ~ ~-- ~
"Something scribbled." Spike muttered. Twilight thought. She bought a ticket, and went on the 5:00 train.
"It looks like 'Joe's'! I don't get it!" Spike muttered as he reread the letter.
"It's possibly Joe's Donuts." Twilight said. RACK RACK RACK RACK. "The train sounds awkward." Twilight muttered.
"GET BACK!" a man said. He ran away to the next car. A dark shadow appeared.
"CHRYSALIS WILL RETURN," it said.
The people were dumbfounded.
"THE WAR WILL BEGIN. EQUESTRIA WILL SEPERATE. IF YOU WANT TO PREVENT WAR, FOLLOW THE COMMANDS. DO WHAT THE SKY SAYS. YOU WILL SUFFER AND WAR WILL BEGIN IF ONE DOSEN'T FOLLOW."
"Who are you to declare war?"
Twilight stood up against the shadow. The passengers looked pale white.
"WHO ARE YOU TO STAND UP AGAINST THE DEATH OF THE WORLD?" the shadow said. The shadow went up, and it was...
"PRINCESS CELESTIA??" Twilight screamed.
Shock went all over the train. Celestia changed into Night Mare, then Luna, then Pinkie Pie, then Rainbow Dash then her-
"AHHH!!" Spike screamed.
Twilight got Spike and they broke the window, jumped away and fell down to the river. They drowned away, to Canterlot.
Spike was almost dead from drowning. Gasping and taking in water, Twilight helped him up the rapids. She was thrown all over, and Spike was being held up to prevent him from taking in more water. Spike couldn't breathe fire anymore. Glub, glub, splash, water went all over.
"GASP - Spike!" Twilight stared at Spike, and he was unconscious. "GAH-" She couldn't drown now. She was on the verge of drowning. Both of them gasped, as the rapids became stronger. They saw Canterlot, a huge shape of towers and structures. They jerked left, and it was so powerful, that Twilight hit the rocks and got a scar on her face. Spike, however was safe. The rapids calmed down, and they moved slowly along the river. Twilight dropped Spike. They both swam towards shore, and sighed with relief.
"Well now what?" Spike said.
"I guess just move because 200 ponies are STARING AT US!" Twilight said, embarrassed. They walked away in a sneaky manner. They entered Joe's Donuts.
Shining Armor was sitting, drinking coffee. He stared at Twilight and Spike. "Twilight! You're wet!" Shining Armor. "What happened?"
Twilight looked innocent. "Well," she said. "It's a long story."
Spike stared. "Yeah, it is," Spike uttered.
Twilight explained what happened. After a long story, Shining Armor got her a drink to warm down, and some donuts. "
So," Shining Armor stared at her. "Princess Celestia will have a huge parade. The thing is, there's a problem."
"What's wrong with a parade?" Twilight asked.
"Jock," Shining Armor replied. "Also, something else has happened. 10 threats have been made against Canterlot. More crimes are happening. Evil may come, and trick us all. We already have a Element arrested."
Twilight's mouth was open, in shock. She sighed.
"Well then," Shining Armor said, as he took a drink of coffee. "High security is needed. I was wondering if you could help me..."
"Of course!" Twilight said. "I'll-"
"You mean 'we'll'," Spike added.
"Yeah, we'll help you." Twilight put in.
"Good. The parade is in 3 weeks. We need all the help." Shining Armor said.
3 weeks passed. The parade was getting ready, with Princess Celestia's float ready, and Shining Armor and Princess Cadance would be in front of her, with the Elements in front.
It was the day. 15,000 ponies all over Equestria were watching in some form, TV, physical form, or a "crazy other way", as Applejack said.
Music played, Princess Celestia, the couple, and the Elements were smiling. Nothing could go wrong. But just someone, a escaped convict, was hiding, in black.
CRASH.
15,000 plus 2,000 ponies stared at the right. 600 guards were ready to attack. Shining Armor stared and began a protection spell.
Another CRASH.
17,535 now 17,639 ponies stared. They blinked. Some tree might have fell down, that's all... or there was just a false alarm, yes, that would be right.
A shadow appeared. What, a lumberjack?, they all thought.
26,246 ponies were staring. And all the population of Equestria, 813,882,920 ponies knew what was happening by some random reason.
"GET OUT HERE, DON'T BE A BABY FOAL, LIKE A SCARED ANIMAL!" Shining Armor yelled. "Twilight, Cadence, get back."
Jock came out, with 7 henchmen.
"Jock! ATTACK!!!" Shining Armor yelled, Twilight helped with the protection spell, 600 guards attacked, 100 henchmen appeared out of nowhere, and a riot began. People screamed, and what seemed like "killing spells" (as Twilight said), went everywhere, hitting 12 people.
Rainbow Dash stood up. "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!" she roared. Fluttershy screamed so loudly, you couldn't hear it, but Winona, 200 miles away, was howling and whining.
Rarity made sure none of the 107 gangsters were dirty, and attacked. Rainbow Dash was punching so hard, blood was everywhere on the gangsters. Twilight zaped some spells, stepped on gangsters, and tried to attack. Spike moved everywhere, dodging punches. Princess Luna was defending her sister, and Celestia the same. ZAP, ZAP. Then, a flash of green went all over the place.
"A killing curse!" Rarity said. It went towards Princess Luna, she dodged it, Princess Celestia-
Her pupil grew, shock went over her.
Twilight saw it all happened "PRINCESS!!!" Cadance, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Princess Luna, and Twilight stared at it all. It happened in a matter of seconds.
It hit Celestia.
"PRINCESS!!!!!!!" Twilight roared.
Jock smiled. Twilight violently turned towards Jock, then the henchman that conducted the spell.
"I did the spell." one of the henchman said.
"YOU--" Twilight yelled. She jumped up, green in her horn.
"Oh, going to kill me? Think that I did everything" Jock happily said. "Eh? Come on! Do it!" Twilight growled.
"Twilight, no, the spell's illegal!" Fluttershy said, snapping out of shock. Twilight didn't listen. She shot it. ZAP!! Green went towards Jock. Jock told his henchman to shoot, and green merged. Green flooded, hitting and killing 3 spectators. And, again, it happened in a matter of seconds.
Twilight fell down. She was dead.
"TWILIGHT!" the lot called.
"MOVE! THE SUBJECT NEEDS TO BE HEALED!" Princess Luna went towards Twilight. Yellow flooded.
"TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!!!" ZAP! The world stared, as the riot broke apart. Jock escaped. The light was so huge, that a hole was seen.
"AGH, GET BACK, NIGHT MARE!" Rainbow Dash said, thinking Night Mare Moon was back.
"I'M HEALING HER, MOVE IT!" Luna yelled.
BOOM!
The shock went all over Equestria. Twilight was up, but she was still unconscious. She fell.
"TWILIE!" Shining Armor yelled, moving over. Then, green went dashing towards him.
"No-" Twilight barely had energy to help. "Luna-- do it - revive-" Twilight could say no more. She heard and saw no more.
Pinkie Pie stared at the cold floor. She saw a explosion through the window, just outside Canterlot. This wasn't fun, not at all. She just thought, that jail, it just needed, like a little touch to it, maybe some fun, so everybody can laugh, just for a while...
She was innocent. She had to explain, but what would they say?
"They'd say, 'LIKELY STORY!'" Pinkie yelled, and 2 guards stared.
"What likely story?" one of them said. Pinkie Pie didn't have anything to say. Spears were pointed at her, and she of course didn't want to die.
"That's what I thought," the other said. Pinkie sighed. She waited for 7 long hours.
It seemed like 1 in the morning. A perfect time to escape. She began thinking of a quick plan.
"Hmmm.... Hey, the floor is dirt! And there's a shovel! Makes totally sense!"
Pinkie Pie thought of the dumbness of the guards, and dug down. It took 3 hours to hit the stone, but she found it. She turned to the left. 2 hours later, she resurfaced.
"I escaped!" Pinkie Pie said happily, and ran towards Canterlot.
Pinkie Pie was still gone for 82 days. For Ponyville, everything was regular. Equestria was shocked by the escape of Pinkie, but the world didn't worry.
"Oh my goodness!" Twilight exclaimed, "Pinkie Pie escaped! That's good and bad! More on the bad side, if you ask me."
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said, "Good for her!" She cheered. "But, she's done a crime... It doesn't feel, I mean, on the good side. Well, in my opinion, she escaped-"
"With pizzaz," Rarity said.
"Don't interrupt me!" Rainbow Dash said, "As I was saying,he escaped with greatness! I hope she makes it back to Ponyville."
"Yeah, I hope!" said a pink, partying pony.
"Pinkie Pie!" everybody yelled.
"WAIT! TELL ME HOW YOU STINKING ESCAPED!!" Rainbow Dash seemed deadly.
BOOM!
"WELL, well, well." A car came into view, a police car, with people in it. Sargent Clock Restion came out of the car. He looked very upgraded, ever since rumor of the train incident spread. He had some weapons, such as a taser, and a few grenades.
"Pinkie Pie has escaped!" Restion roared. "If you find her, call my number! Well, well, well" - he repeated and faced Twilight and her friends, then faced Pinkie Pie - "You escaped. What's wrong with ya', got some death wish? Because death is what you'll get! EXECUTION! IT'S CONSTANT VIGILANCE, PIE!! CONSTANT!!!" Restion face was extremely red, like a blood vessel was going to pop.
Rainbow Dash burned with fear. Rarity looked dumbfounded as she faced Spike. Twilight blinked. "So what? She's innocent!" Twilight yelled, and Rarity agreed.
"Is all you do is arrest people? Have some manners, instead of dying from extreme yelling!"
"The Pinkie Pie that helped Jock to escape is a Changeling! Don't you see?" Fluttershy yelled for the first time in three years.
"She's innocent." Twilight said. "If the changelings are back, destruction will come!"
"QUEEN CHRYSALIS HAS NOT RETURNED!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, SHE WAS SENT AWAY DURING THE WEDDING! I WAS THERE, YOU BRAINLESS LOT!" Restion yelled.
This was the last straw for Rainbow Dash. "WHO YOU CALLING 'BRAINLESS LOT', YOU ONE-EYED DOGGY HEAD??" she roared. "SO?" Restion looked paralyzed.
"SO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?" he screamed.
"POSSIBLY IF YOU DON'T SHUT-" Rainbow Dash was interrupted.
"Don't do it, you'll get arrested." Applejack said.
"SO STINKING WHAT?" Rainbow Dash exploded out. "HE SHOULD BE DEAD BY NOW!!"
Rainbow Dash did the unthinkable. She punched Restion in the face, as blood soured out. With a bloody lip, a fight began, as they hissed and called each other names at each other, like cats fighting.
"Pinkie Pie, get in the house! Hide while Rainbow Dash keeps fighting and distracting Restion!" Spike murmured.
Pinkie Pie got in the library, hided and wasn't seen for the end of the day.
The citizens of Ponyville were too scared to talk about Shining Armor's death and how he can be revived, because of Twilight.. The news spread, and about three females fainted. Why they were too scared to let it leak, was that one day, Fluttershy had a squirrel die. She was screaming all over, like "NO, WHY DID SHE DIE!??"
By her response, they could imagine Twilight, and they thought Ponyville would be flooded in 6 hours if they told her.
"I don't know what's wrong with 'er, the cryin' pony. I think she flooded her house, eh." Tumble said, a innkeeper.
"She's gone wild, oh, and the librarian, Element, what not, and, goodness, she would have Ponyville flooded in 2 hours, ain't 6." another said.
As news was kept in secret, and as a house was trying to be dried after somebody flooded it by insane crying, Twilight Sparkle was in her bed, thinking of ways to protect Pinkie, and to explain how she was innocent.
She would hand out leaflets....Report to Luna, now successor to Celestia....
The thoughts bounced in her head. None of them she wanted. Then, she thought of the "ultimate" choice. She could have doubted it. "I'll sue them. A polite, "please-do-not-do-this" lawsuit." she muttered.
She was mad.
How in the whole wide world of Equestria would she be able to do it? She would just go easy on them, and when they couldn't agree, she could slightly raise her voice. She didn't want to go too hard. Spike came a few minutes later, got a scoop of ice cream, (Twilight didn't mind), and went to her bed.
"Wvat's yohn douhing?" Spike asked, ice cream in his mouth.
"Wha?" Twilight said.
Spike swallowed the ice cream. "What's you doing?"
"Nothing, just thinking."
Spike sighed.
"I'll think I'll sleep," Twilight muttered. She got her blanket, and fell right to sleep.
A minute later, she was cold. She opened her eyes. She wasn't in her bed. What was happening? Spike was nowhere, no screaming, calling for her, no nothing, as she could imagine. She was in a white room. Was this a dream?
Next second, she was falling, through water, mud, anything, even lava! She braced herself, wasn't damaged by the magma, and kept falling, screaming, and hoping the best.
She landed. She was in a dark, blue, and unoccupied room. The hearing room, she thought. She read a sign.
Room 134
She was right. A person came into place. A dark, silhouette was walking towards her, something in his or her hand. The shadow came into the light.
"Shining Armor?"
Twilight had not heard or seen her brother.
Shining Armor began melting like ice.
Darkness surrounded Twilight, and cold came. Her skin grew goose bumps. Her mane began muzzled, Twilight began to feel pain, as scars appeared out of nowhere. She floated in darkness, alone. Breathing quickly, Twilight saw lighting, crashing towards her, pain, everywhere, moaning, and Spike came, with some weapon, a huge Spike, she saw. Ready to attack, huge Spike dropped the weapon, and scratched her. Twilight closed her eyes, ready-
"Twilight!" he moaned.
Twilight opened her eyes. She was back in her bed.
"Just... dream..." she muttered.
Spike was there, staring at her.
"What dream?" Spike said.
Twilight did not respond. She was sweating, and the bed was cold. The sheets were on the floor.
"What dream?" Spike repeated.
"I dunno," Twilight muttered.
"I'm just here to tell you..." Spike looked worried.
"Come on!" Twilight said.
"Its just that..... Shining Armor is dead."
Twilight was staring at Spike, her eyes bloodshot.
"HE'S DEAD??!!" Twilight boomed. Spike looked scared.
"Yeah, uh..." he ran away.
Twilight was devastated, as her friends tried to calm her down.
"Don't worry!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "You died, but came back to life!" - Under her breath, she said, "Possibly twice, double zombie."
She needed a spell. A perfect, amazing, hard spell. The day of the lawsuit was on July 13, and it was the 5th. Pinkie was happy that she had a friend suing somebody for her.
"AMAZING, SUPER, HAPPY, FUN TIME!!" she proclaimed. She hosted a party soon, was under the basement in Twilight's house, and it was completely nonstop.
Twilight had no time. She needed a lawyer, some 5,000 bits as prize (she would get a loan), and witnesses.
The day of the hearing came. With good luck, determination, and for the sake of her brother, she went to Canterlot, with Rarity and Fluttershy, into the Department of Suing, and entered the dungeon. She sat down, and so did the rest.
"SO!" a man said. "YOU HAVE DECIDED TO SUE US?"
Twilight nodded. "Yes," she said in a quiet voice.
"OK! Disciplinary suing, on June- I mean, July 13." said the man, and turned to be Sargent Restion.
"Interrogators are, Princess Starlight Luna, Princess of Canterlot and Equestria, Sargent Clock James Restion, Chief of Canterlot Police Force, and Head of Equestria Police. Witness for the defense, Fluttershy Animaluos, Rarity Fashclem. The person who's suing, I forgot their name, Twilight Sparkle."
Twilight sighed.
"First, what do you have to say?" Restion said.
And with the most biggest and deadliest voice Twilight ever used, she boomed, "PINKIE PIE IS INNOCENT! CHANGELINGS HAVE FAKED HER!"
Six members of the council around her gasped.
"She has shown the truth, nothing can stop me." Restion added.
"RESTION, UNDERSTAND! Changelings have faked her. Don't you get the idea?"
"I know. Chrysa-fool is not back, I assure you, for the ONE BILLIONTH TIME!"
"No, Changelings are back!"
The council blinked.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW?" Restion boomed.
"I PREDICT IT!"
"HOW CAN YOU?"
"TURN ON EVERY CAMERA AT THE SCENE!" Twilight boomed.
Camera's came on. Pinkie Pie opening Jock's door, running away, then being replaced with something dark...?
"LOOK! The dark thing at the end-" The scene paused. "Is a Changeling!"
Restion had his mouth wide open.
"NO, IT - NO, SHE, - UH, PROBABLY, -"
"So Restion?" Twilight smirked.
"We have seen some awkward spottings..." Restion muttered under his breath. "Caves and such...."
Twilight overheard this. "Take me to the cave where you think Queen Chrysalis might lurk. Now!"
"But- You have no right-"
"I am Princess Twilight, have you forgotten?"
"Oh, eh, yeah, oh- Take her to Myster Cave!"
"You know, this is a waste of time! We need to get back to the hearing!" Restion yelled over. Twilight ignored. There was a cave in the distance, small, with a torch lit, with a sign nearby. Twilight, Restion and a few people of the council walked to the cave. The sign, now in well view, said,
Myster Cave
Twilight stared at the sign with disbelief.
"Um, Twilight?"
Rarity was staring at her, and Twilight (in a grim face) turned to her.
"What?" she said.
"I'll get, uh, the rest, with Flutters-"
"No need, we came early."
Rainbow Dash (still with 2 scars on her face) and the rest were there. Restion stared her eyes at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie jumped.
"Restion, It's you!" Pinkie Pie happily said. Then, her voice turned grim. "What do you want, I approved, I AM INNOCENT!"
Restion growled. "THERE IS NO INNOCENCE, PINKIE GRANNY PIE-"
"Her middle name isn't Granny , you dunce!" Applejack said, growling.
"OH, WHO STINKING CARES-"
"Will you stop fighting, and go in this cave, will you?" Twilight interjected, and walked in.
It was dark. Rainbow Dash luckily found some matches, and Restion found a lantern. Through the darkness, they were led through a dark, spooky, bug-filled (Rarity could have thrown up more than 12 times), and deadly cave.
"THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!" Restion was yelling, once again being ignored. Fluttershy was violently shaking and shuddering.
"A light! HEY, I FOUND A light!" Applejack yelled. A dim light was spreading. CRACK. "I don't understand why they put 'Enter if you wish to die, but I think this is the reason." Restion said. " 'Nother 'crack' and we're dead."
CRACK.
"We're dead." Restion said.
"Now we aren't," said Twilight, and they ran towards the dim light.
It seemed like a fire, a fireplace, and there was-
"-Two people! I found two people!" Applejack said, on the lookout for more. "Oh, ow," she added, getting hurt on the rocks.
"That's bunk, there ain't two people," Restion added. "And we're also DEAD!"
The light got closer, bigger, and the two shadows were eligible. One was tall, and one was a pony. Twilight and the rest squinted. They could already hear both of their conversation.
"When is the transformation date?" one of them said.
"When your fate comes." the other said.
"What?"
Twilight was confused. Two people, tried to transform something, some scientists, she loved communicating with science-related people, but they could be evil, planning a secret weapon, of death. "Waste of good time, WE SHOULD BE AT CANTERLOT!" Restion yelled, being ignored for the third time. He rolled his eyes.
Twilight was quiet. "Tiptoe," she whispered to the others. They were silent as a mouse.
Restion stared, and sweared under his breath. "Good for nothing..."
The first, tall person spoke, and Twilight knew what was happening next.
"There is something behind us, I shall leave. Kill them."
Twilight gasped, and the others stared at it, mouths open. Rarity made a noise, that sounded like a neigh.
POP. The tall one disappeared. The pony went towards them.
"Hello," it said.
"I am Queen Chrysalis."
A fierce wind howled. The rain patted on the cave. "The perfect time, sad, deadly, hidden...." chortled Chrysalis. "Well, why have you come here?"
"I suspected you to be here," said Twilight, smiling grimly. "Your Changelings, they've done a good job..."
"OF WHAT, I DARESAY?" boomed Chrysalis.
"FAKING PINKIE, A ELEMENT WHO DEFEATED YOU 2 YEARS AGO!" boomed even louder Twilight.
Queen Chrysalis didn't know what to say. There was a long silence, with only the sound of the "pit pat" of rain. Then she spoke, "My boss has commanded me to kill you, he wasn't proud at all, you killed him.
"This is foolish. Only a idiot would come here, Haven't you read the sign? I was expecting more from you people, mostly - " She stared at Twilight - "you."
"Idiotic enough, eh, Chrysalis?" Twilght said in a mock happy voice.
"Yeah, we'll get you bloody again!" Rainbow Dash happily said, eager to get started.
"So, you nosy ponies! I guess you want to spill blood."
"YEAH? YEAH?! WE WANT TO GET IT OUT OF YOU!" Rainbow Dash boomed, and the first punch flew. Flying past the world record, Rainbow Dash began punching her, but countered by a spell. She was -
"CHOKING! PERFECT! BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF SUFFERING, IF ANY OF YOU WANT IT!" Rainbow was thrown on the floor. Restion began swearing.
At that very second, Twilight sent a shooting spell in less than a millisecond, and it clashed with Chrysalis' killing spell. Green pushed yellow, and yellow pushed green. "THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, EH?" Chrysalis laughed.
"THINK YOU'RE SO GREAT? I'VE SEEN MORE PATHETIC THINGS THAN YOU!" Twilight yelled.
"SORRY YOU DON'T HAVE AN ARMY!" Chrysalis sent the spell towards Twilight, the yellow faded, and Twilight dodged green, landing on the rocks, and got a scar.
"CHANGELINGS!!" Chrysalis yelled. "GO!!!!!"
Changelings appeared out of nowhere, billions and billions of them.
"AAATTTACKK!!!!" Chrysalis commanded.
A rough 5 billion Changelings, well, changed. "THERE MORE HERE!" Applejack yelled. Fluttershy barely punched one of them, and it was a small touch.
"The best I can do...I'M DEAD!" she screamed.
"You're pathetic," chortled Rainbow. "Get up and fight."
Worried that soon she would be covered all over in blood, Fluttershy simply tried to hurt, but not too soft or too "blood-puddle-making" hard. She could have done better, through Rainbow Dash's point of view. "I'll give her my punching bag, that's it," Rainbow commented later.
Everybody was doing well in the battle (excluding Fluttershy and Spike, he was viewing), and Twilight was doing the most.
With spells flashing, green, yellow, blue, Twilight had to be fast. With spells spurting out, she was careful. At the verge of being hit again, she thought sarcastically, as green barely touched her by a millimeter. I'll use more shield spells.
As the spells clashed, Twilight knew that soon, they'd enter the final phase ("If Fluttershy even does something!", Rainbow Dash said on the topic), and the Changeling army would fall, and so would Chrysalis, they would save everybody...
Something fell into Twilight. It felt weird and oozy. And a picture, clear and white, with dawn in it, came into view.
Unconscious.... a knife...
"TWILIGHT!"
She ignored the yells. Screaming.... something coming out, a liquid...
Queen Chrysalis.... green, she was dead...she still stood there, staring at the dying person. Somebody was dead.....
"TWILIGHT! SNAP OUT OF IT! "
It was... no time, somebody invisible was slapping her face, and then she felt like being dragged, FLASH, she heard....
"GET BACK!" someone yelled.
PUNCH.
Somebody, a remote shadow, was punching... the air? She did not know to focus on the death scene, or the pony who was fighting.
A punch went into her face, and she felt blood oozing down her mouth, and stared at the cave walls. She was on the floor.
"What... IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Rainbow Dash looked angry. "DIDN'T YOU SEE ANYTHING? FIRST, YOU WENT 'BOOM,', THEN, I GOT A BLOODY NOSE, STARING AT YOU, THEN, CHRYSAHEAD SENT KILLING SPELLY-THINGIES AT YOU! ARE YOU MENTAL?" boomed Rainbow Dash. Her face was red. Twilight had never heard such red-hot anger from Rainbow Dash.
"No time, somebody's gonna get killed-"
"WHADDA YA MEAN?"
Twilight blinked. She focused on Chrysalis, beginning a spell at her... Green, the killing spell was coming at her.
"GET BACK!" Twilight boomed, and she pushed Rainbow out of the way, and a yellow color shined in her horn. The spells let go, and fiercely touched, causing a mix. The most biggest power Twilight had ever hauled was being wasted. The redness from Rainbow Dash's face had disappeared and she began fighting. She began swearing under her breath, and then yelled, "ARE YOU A CHANGELING, APPLE?!"
With the colors of the spells turning blood-red, the line connected by the spells twisted, the power was great. Green pushed yellow, yellow pushed green, and Twilight felt weak. She began twitching, the end was near for the connection to end.... Chrysalis smiled.
"LET'S END THIS... FOOLISH WEAKLING..." Chrysalis smirked. And she yelled, the power was strong, green mostly pushing yellow....
Time seemed to stop.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Twilight used all her power, nothing she had ever done in her life, it seemed like her heart stopped, her blood flow dead, and the brain powerless.
BOOOOOM!!!
Soon, Chrysalis yelled, her eyes widened... Twilight's mouth moved, and words went to her.
"Moris in nobis...."
Rainbow Dash was confused at this. Rarity stared at her, and responded at Rainbow's jaw dropped, "I think its Latin. I think it is 'Death is upon us,' when I learned... what do you think think this means?"
A ball of magic swirled around the duel.
Twilight said again, "Intra in elementis, qui signetur tenebrae regimen conculcet ea potestas sit regina et destrui clones!"
"I don't know what that means," Rarity added.
Time seemed to stop again.
The screams stopped, and the world was white, silent, and lifeless. Equestria seemed to stop.
The white disappeared. The world turned to normal, Twilight unconscious. The rest were on the floor, and Queen Chrysalis was injured, bloodied, and eyes were closed.
Queen Chrysalis had fallen.
Twilight was walking down a road, and she then met a person..... he had a knife..... It was towards her... STAB...She opened her eyes.
She was in Canterlot Hospital, for sure. The events that just happened was weird, out of the normality of action that she has done. Chrysalis is dead, and now what...?
She lay in bed, looked at the cold breakfast on her table, and stared at the television.
"New cars, only 25,000 bits....!" The television was boring, and now she had to sit in a bed, watching pathetic television, eating boring food, for 3 days, what could she do? She didn't bring a book, she didn't bring papers to do random math, nothing. The most boring moment of her life, and it was drawing to a close. She had been unconscious for 22 hours.
The door was knocked. "Come in," Twilight slowly said. The door opened.
"You'll be glad to hear the news I have,"
As Sargent Clock Restion sat down on the bed, Twilight looked annoyed. "Why are you here?" she said, through gritted teeth.
"Pinkie Pie, you'll be glad," smiled Restion. "Pie, cleared of all charges."
"CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES?" Twilight's anger fell completely.
"Yes. If you hadn't done the things ya done... well, Pie could have gotten the rope. Ah well, we'll find Jock, give him the death penalty..... and make him suffer." Restion added.
"I guess that's a good penalty, he deserves it." Twilight sneered. They both laughed, like the anger between them never existed.
"I, well, hope you'll get better, now I gotta go to Celestia's- I mean, Princess Celestia's funeral." sighed Restion. "Then, I'll attend Shining Armor's funeral, as well.... Someone can return them, but it's a legend. The Recast Spell... I ain't a smarty-pants" - Twilight frowned - "I mean, a know it all" - Twilight seemed extremely mad - "I mean again, a smart guy, I ain't that, or a unicorn. You know, you're the first Alicorn I've ever seen. I just wish, my old friend Armor, would come back."
Twilight stared at this. "He was your friend?" she said, dumbfounded.
"Yeah."
"Tell me!"
"Oh, okay." Restion sighed, and began. "Before you came, Armorguy, or that's what we called him (pretty pathetic). Shining was really nice. Remember Rusty?
"He knew you, you barely saw him. Sigh, well, we always adventured, pretended to do stuff, and joked. Rusty, or me-"
"Wait?" Twilight said, the memories coming to her. "You were Rusty? I barely saw you, like once a dozen years!"
"Yup," Restion continued. "Then, you came along, Shining left us, away....
"The little sneak," joked Restion. "He met us, but you and him, perfect combination. Proud of him, but he would have to find better love," He began to violently laugh. "OH, HAHAHA, BETTER, HAHA.....! Eh, haha, what was I sayin'?
"He was the best. Celestia's second favorite." Restion finished abruptly.
"Celestia...... I'm leaving." Twilight murmured, got the sheets out of her. Restion seemed confused.
"What, what, what the heck's happening?" said Restion.
"I'm going to the funeral." Twilight spoke quietly.
"Are you mental ?" Restion said, ignored.
"Gerroff," Twilight said to the group of doctors, noticing them. They ignored. Once outside, she yelled, "TAXI!" Finally in, she said, "To Celestia's funeral, NOW!"
In less than 5 minutes, they were at the funeral. Interrupting the praying, Twilight began pushing through the people. She wen't into the nearby library, and took a book without checking it. "Hey!" the librarian pranced.
"I'll give it back, it's for Canterlot's good," Twilight said, heading towards the coffin.
She opened it, the audience surprised. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GET OUT!" Luna said meanly.
"NO, I'm doing the Recast!"
Three fourths of the population of Equestria gasped.
The most greatest power Twilight had ever spawned, more ever before, had come to her, more than the final battle, more than anything, soaking up every piece of energy. Screaming in pain, the light of her horn flashed, BOOM, and the world stopped. With the world watching, the power was wasted, the lights flashed, giving many people a seizure, and everything seemed to end. The light disappeared, a silhouette in the aftermath.
Princess Celestia returned.

"We have arrested Jock Honter for robbing the Canterlot Bank, destroying properties and daring threats against Canterlot." Sargent Clock Restion said. "He will have a permanent stay at Canterlot Jail."
Everypony was silent. They saw the criminal, Jock Honter, walk through the crowds, growling, mostly at Princess Celestia. "Don't," said a officer.
Jock Honter had a robbing bag as a cutie mark. His teeth were crooked. He was from Cloudsdale, and the Pegasi pony walked slowly, the police tempting him to stop growling. Just 5 years later, something huge happened. It shook all of Equestria, and shot it into worry. Shining Armor was staring at Jock. "What ar' you lookin' at?" Jock said in a grouchy voice.
Shining Armor kept walking. He had to speed up, he was taking Cadance to a restaurant. He was supposed to be there at 7:00, and the clock ticked 6:30: He was going to be late. He sped his hooves. Then, a iron sound was heard, and a breaking sound followed. Shining Armor looked around. He gasped. Jock was gone from his cell.
"GET THE SOLDIERS, SOUND THE ALARMS!" Shining Armor commanded. "Sir!" A soldier was running towards him. "What's the problem?"
"Jock has escaped," Shining Armor said.
"Alarm every soldier available. Our biggest threat has left." Jock ran towards the door. Grabbing a small wooden sword used for practice, he slashed at the soldiers and guards preventing him from escaping. They fell, with "Ow!" and "Ugh, that hurt!" coming from their mouths.
Shining Armor ran towards him. This was a waste of time, he would be late. He pranced towards Jock. Jock looked behind him, and Shining Armor punched him, and he landed with a THUD! He was unconscious, and then he opened his eyes, and guards were coming at all directions, and he didn't have a chance to escape. Shining Armor stared, hoofcuffs in hooves.
Jock punched Shining Armor, already beginning to bleed, crashed toward a storage room, broke the door, CRASH, and materials fell all over him.
Jock had no choice. He got to the roof, spun around the light, knocking every guard pony, CRASH again, headed towards a glass tunnel, in the air, 60 feet above surface. He jumped towards the glass, sending it all over the place. He fell, down, down and landed very painfully. He ran towards the exit. The guards stared at him. They closed the gate, got Jock and hoofcuffed him. He breathed quickly, bleeding and trying to let go of the guards. "UAGH!!" he yelled as he tried to escape. He fell, he couldn't escape. And then he saw his getaway. Punching the guards with hooves, he saw a bucket of water. Lots of buckets followed. He got most of the buckets quickly, and splashed them as the guards sailed away. He pulled the lever. The gate opened.
Jock Honter had escaped.
"YOU BROUGHT PRINCESS CELESTIA TO LIFE?!!?? " Rainbow Dash exploded, her eyes already watering. "AGAIN? "
"Stop your blubbering, Rainbow - Wow, I can't believe it, not at all!" Rarity smiled.
"SHE'S A ZOMBIE!" Pinkie muttered. "A NON-BLOODY, NON-BRAIN-LOVING, PRINCESS ZOM -"
"Shut up." Rainbow said.
"Well, you should be proud. Also, special news. Pinkie.... cleared of all charges! "
"WHAT THE BLOODY HECK?" exploded Rainbow again.
"NOW, YOU SHUT UP!" Pinkie screamed, like acting in drama.
With the fall of Chrysalis, and the uprising again of Princess Celestia, the spirit of Ponyville returned easily, and Equestria followed. The news was shocking, boring titles such as "Princess Twilight's Secret's Revealed: How Equestria Was Wrong and She Was Not ", "The Return of Princess Celestia ", and the so convincing title of "Luna Wanted To Keep Princess Title: Her Slight Fit. " Overheard by the best, Equestria looked normal.
But deep in the caves of Myster Cave, a tall figure stood over Queen Chrysalis' dead body.
"Worthless," it said. A power then scaled up in the creature's hands. The power was sent to Chrysalis, opening her eyes. "YOU FOOLISH PATRON! YOU HAVE DONE PATHETIC WORK! YOU LITTLE-" The creature began swearing about her.
"N-no, Ma-M-Master-r, it is n-not wha-wha-what yo-u t-think!" Chrysalis studdered.
"SHUT UP, I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT YOU! I SHALL SEAL YOU AWAY, NOT TO DO EVIL FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS!"
"M-MASTER, N-N-N-O, P-P-PLEASE!" sobbed Chrysalis.
"I-I-I will s-s-spy them.... P-please, M-Master.... gi-give m-me on-on-one mor-re chan-chance." spoke Chrysalis.
"Foolish. But spy them, do as you please. Death is upon us all. Death, fear, blood, destruction, discord for the world. They will meet all that.
"Including me. Discord will return."
