//-------------------------------------------------------// The Outlands. -by Derpity_Sammy- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Introduction //-------------------------------------------------------// Introduction "Its A Filly Mrs. Cadenza! Congratulations!" The Nurse exclaimed with joy as she held the newly born, Alicorn, filly in her hooves. "I'm So Happy... we Did It Honey..." Cadence said as she turned her head towards Shining Armor who had taken the baby over from the nurse. "Can I...Hold Her? I Mean...I Just Gave Birth To Her So..." Cadence said while holding out her hooves. "Yeah, Here She Is...Look at her little eyes...They're as green as sapphires..." Shining said handing her over. "Hey, she still needs a name you two..." The nurse said, hushed. "How about 'Jade Sapphire?' Since we live in the Crystal Empire she should have a crystal related name." Said Cadence as she snuggled the filly in her arms. "Perfect." Said Shining Armor as the nurse told him about paperwork that needed filling. The nurse walked with Shining Armor out of the room... That left Cadence alone with her precious new daughter, which had the curls from her mother's hair, that swirled with the baby blue of her father's, and the sunset pink of her mother's mane. When Cadence was rocking her gently, a Canterlot guard burst into the room, causing Jade to cry. "What On Earth Do You Think You Are Doing?!?" Cadence exclaimed as The guard closed and locked the door. He ran to the princess's side. "Listen, Princess Celestia doesn't want another alicorn, she told me to come here and to take the child by force, I know its hard, but I promise, I will take her to a nice home, outside of the Kingdom. Please, say your goodbyes and hand her over..." The Guard said, hurried.        "O-Okay..." Princess Cadence said, almost crying. She Held The baby so she could look straight into her mother's eyes. Then, Cadence leaned in and said to her daughter: " Jade, baby I don’t want you to be scared, okay? This is not at all what I want, But This is right. Now, you take care of your self for me, alright? You’re gonna be fine. You’re gonna beat this world, I know you will. I Know You will be smart, and you will be strong, and you are going to be so brave. And I love you. You gotta do what’s right, baby. You promise me you’ll always do what’s right? It’s so easy to do the wrong thing in this world. So if it feels wrong, don’t do it, alright? If it feels easy, don’t do it. Don’t let the world screw you. You’re so good. My sweet filly. The best thing I ever did. I love you. I love you, my sweet, sweet girl, I love you..." Jade, Just made a squeaky baby noise. Which Cadence took as an 'I Love You Mommy.' Cadence kissed the filly's neck, almost a thousand times, and handed her over. ~(THE EDGE OF EQUESTRIA'S KINGDOM)~ The guard ran as he held Jade in a basket, she was fast asleep, perfect for the drop off. The Guard had arranged for an old friend to pick her up. He had finally reached the edge of equestria, huffing. "Special Delivery I Presume?" A voice called out from the shadow, with a hint of an distorted, echoed, quality. The voice was who the guard was looking for.         "Don't Harm This Child Please. I bring a gift from the empire." The guard said, while throwing down a bottle of champagne and some fancy bread. That got her attention.         "Alright, I'll take her. Give me the name." Chrysalis said while throwing the bread and champagne into her saddle bags.         "Her name is Jade Sapphire. Keep Her Safe. And When She's 18, Tell her about her family." The guard said, handing over the basket to queen Chrysalis. They both flew off without another word. ~(CANTERLOT CASTLE)~ "Has the deed been done?" Princess Celestia asked The Guard as he walked into the room. He took off his helmet, and lied. Right to the princess.          "Yes, your majesty, I dropped the child off into a rapid flowing river at the edge of the kingdom. I saw the basket snap, and I heard her cry as she tumbled through the raging waters." The Guard said as he straightened up.          "Good. Now, We Shall Celebrate In Private...Come Along With Me, My Loyal Night..." Celestia said as she hinted towards the bedroom. As The Guard followed her, he thought about how he had dropped the child off to his kingdom's enemy. He simply pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind, and walked into the bedroom, putting his chest guard on the door, to hint to others not to come in...    The Guard and Celestia had a fun night, while Jade...Not So Much.. ~(CHRYSALIS'S HIDEOUT)~          "My Changelings!  We Now Have A Princess To Our Queen!" Chrysalis said as she held up Jade, so all of her subjects could bask in her glory. A deep voice called out from behind Chrysalis...          "Our Empire Is Complete! We Shall Call It...The Chrystal Somber Rebellion!" As the pony walked out into the light, it was none other than Sombra, who had been banished to the outlands with Chrysalis.          There were over a million more changelings then before. Chrysalis must have gotten... 'Busy' during her time in exile.          "Since our plan didn't go so smoothly last time, when our beloved princess turns 18, we shall...RETURN TO EQUESTRIA!" Chrysalis exclaimed with an evil laughter that sounded like pure evil as it shot through the air. ~(CANTERLOT CASTLE)~          "That...was...amazing...Princess.." The Guard huffed as  he rolled onto his back on the bed.         "How about I go mix us up some drinks?" Celestia asked, standing up.           "Sounds Wonderful." Said The Guard, as he fixed his mane. They both exited the bedroom. The guard was extremely happy... TWENTY FIVE DRINKS LATER...           "So then Iy saiddd 'You Haveta get outta here, dis is Canterlot! Not peasant town!" The guard exclaimed while drinking more alcohol.            "Oh you are such a card! How did Shining Armor react when you took his kid away?" Celestia said while drinking more wine.           "Oh, Shining Stupid wasn't half as mad as Chrysalis when I handed her-"The Guard immediately put his hoof to his mouth, and puked all over the table.             "WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT CHRYSALIS???!!!" The Princess asked, standing up on her back legs, bracing herself against the table...     Princess Celestia's Scour turned to a naughty grin... She picked him up with her magic..and told him...              "Somebody Has Been A Very Naughty Colt..." //-------------------------------------------------------// Back To Canterlot. //-------------------------------------------------------// Back To Canterlot. EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER... "Jade, this is a huge day for you, my pretty flower...Tonight, we take Canterlot, and then The rest of the Empire!" Chrysalis exclaimed while suiting up Jade for battle. "I know i should be excited...I just...Don't want to hurt innocent ponies..." Jade said, while hoisting her helmet onto her head.         "Don't Worry. We just want to negotiate a 'peace' treaty with the Princess..." Sombra said, chuckling. Jade was 18 now. Chrysalis had not told Jade about her parents, or that she was the daughter of Princess Cadence. She couldn't bring herself to it. ~(OUTSIDE CANTERLOT)~     "Group one, take sector a, group 2, take sector b, and so on with groups 3,4,5, And 6! Let's Move Out!" Jade had commanded into her headset, as she ran into the Castle.      "Private Defiance. You're With Me." She called into her headset for backup.         "Fuck Yes! High Rank Job." Defiance said, thinking his headset was off.     "I Heard that, You're Scrubbing the Latrines when we get back." Jade said into her headset with a smug grin.        "Damnit." Private Defiance huffed as they walked into the building. Once they were inside, they were greeted by about 15 Royal Guards. Everyone drew their gun, everyone fired.          "Captain Jade Requesting Back Up! I Repeat, Captain Jade Requesting Backup!" After Jade requested for backup, Private Defiance fell over. He struggled with the laces on his armored boots, and pulled it off. There was a bullet hole, right through his left ankle. He was shot.     Then a splatter of red dotted Jade's helmet with blood. Somepony else had shot his right ankle...          Right when Jade had gotten over to Private Defiance, A squad of armed ponies ran in. Two of them too Private Defiance into a nearby room, the others fought with Jade. During the bloodbath, a bullet had busted the glass on Jade's helmet, so she took it off, and tied the blanket she was in when she was handed off to Chrysalis. Sure, it was unsafe, but it was badass. ~(CELESTIA'S BEDROOM)~            "Oasis! Get  You Plot Over Here!" Celestia barked, as The Guard that had said Princess Jade was dead, walked over. "Yes Mam?!" He Asked in a military tone of voice.          "I Want You To Do Me A Favor...Barricade The doors And Grab The Weapons." Celestia asked nicely. Oasis obeyed, and did as she asked.       Jade and her crew burst through the door at full speed. Celestia fired, but Jade doged the bullets. She flew above the table and knocked Celestia to the ground.          "Well, Well, Well, If It Isnt Cadence's Brat." Celestia said mockingly. "Stop Spatting Bullshit Celestia. I Don't Even Know Who My Mother Is." Jade said, as she pulled the knife out of her hoof's knife's slot, and placed it at Celestia's neck.        "That whore changeling never told you that Princess Cadence was you mother? Huh." Celestia teased.        "Jade! Stop." A Voice called out from behind the both of them. It was familiar to Jade, so she turned around... It Was Princess Cadence And Shining Armor. Who Had Arrived In Time For The Party. "Jade! You're Alive! My Sweet Princess..." Shining Armor called out towards his daughter. Jade Took the knife from Celestia's throat, and turned around. "Mom...Dad...? You're Alive? You're Alive?!!" Jade asked, stunned.     "Yes, Honey. We're Here..." Cadence Cooed towards her daughter. Jade dropped her knife, and ran towards her parents. "IVE MISSED YOU TWO SO MUCH!" Jade exclaimed, as she started to bawl.. Celestia saw her chance. She grabbed a nearby gun, and aimed it at the hug fest... BLAM! Jade's eyes widened. She pulled away from her parents, and fell backwards. A gaping wound in her stomach.    "MURDERER!" Cadence screamed with fury, taking Shining Armour's blade, she sprinted towards Celestia... In her mind these words pounded... Hatred... Sorrow... Dispair... With one wide swing, Celestia's neck was slit open, blood shot out. Cadence's face was coated with her ruler's blood...    She had just killed the Queen Bee...
