Shield and Sword

“Do you know why I needed one of you to kill the other?” Chrysalis asked.

SH and SW both shrugged simultaneously.

“Because both of you would be too busy fighting each other, you wouldn’t be able to feed me with your love. You see, I feed upon love, but without a food source, my power is useless. Therefore, only one of you can suffice.” She paused, “But luckily I have enough power to destroy this pitiful town.”

“Not if I can help it!” SW charged in to attack Chrysalis.

Chrysalis blasted him with a magic bolt that sent him flying into a flower stand. The stand collapsed over him, burying SW completely.

“Nooooo!” SH cried. He looked over to Chrysalis, who was laughing hysterically.

Chrysalis stopped laughing and casted a magic bolt at SH. SH held up his shield in anger to block the magic bolt. He then advanced while Chrysalis continuously fired the spell at SH. SH flung his shield like a discus, as he had done before, and it hit Chrysalis, causing her to stagger back. SH tackled and pinned Chrysalis to the ground.

“You hurt my best friend, the only friend I have, and then you’re going to hurt a bunch of innocent ponies! But I’m not going to let that happen.” SH lifted a hoof up, ready to beat Chrysalis down.

But before he could have a chance to swing at her, he was lifted up by a telekinesis spell and hurled through the side of an aroma shop. SH crashed through the wall, shelves of perfume fell down and glass shattered. Shards dug into SH’s skin, and the scent around him was completely nauseating. SH felt dizzy, a slither of blood ran down his head. He picked himself up, only to hear Chrysalis cackling an evil laugh.

“How pathetic! For somepony who’s supposed to protect other ponies, you sure let your guard down too easily.” Chrysalis smiled.

“For someone who’s the queen of the changelings, you sure have an ugly true form. No wonder you have to hide yourself under those disguises!” SH retorted, spitting out blood.

Chrysalis’ face turned from confidence to pissed off immediately. “I’m going to enjoy killing you.”

Chrysalis’ horn began to glow, she was charging up a magic bolt. SH braced himself, ready to die. Suddenly, Chrysalis turned around and blasted a sword that was hurled at her into pieces. SW ran through the cloud of smoke and rammed Chrysalis away. Both Chrysalis and SH had a shocked expression on their faces.

“Uggh, I thought I killed you!” Chrysalis yelled angrily.

“Not yet.” SW replied.

SW galloped towards Chrysalis, taking the shield with both hooves, he leaped into the air. Then brought the shield down upon Chrysalis’ head. She fell down to the ground, defeated.

“Let’s…never do this again.” SW said, looking at SH. They both shared a small laugh together.
