Princess Twilight Sparkle

Ever since Twilight had found the mysterious crown, she had been pondering about what she wanted to use her new powers for. She didn't want to tell anyone because she didn't know how certain people would react. Her friends Applejack and Fluttershy had given her some ideas, but she turned down all of them. Except for one. Applejack had suggested for Twilight to become a superhero. After all, she could fly and she had special powers. Twilight took the idea into consideration. She then began to take her crown with her wherever she went, keeping it hidden, of course. Sadly, this city wasn't a criminal invested city. However, one night, that all changed.

"Twilight!" called Shining Armor, Twilight's older brother.

"Yes, Shiny?" She answered back from upstairs.

"Come down for a sec."

Footsteps were heard descending the staircase. "You were saying?"

"Mom wants to take us to Fine Dining tonight. I've got a, heh, big announcement to make." Twilight didn't notice, but her brother was blushing lightly.

"Neat! We haven't had family bonding time for awhile. With you leading the CPF, and Mom and Dad working, it's been quite lonely here in the house." Shining Armor noticed his sister's smile turn into a frown as she said that. He walked up to her and put his arms around her. "I know, Twily. I've missed hanging out with the family, too. You guys are the most important people in the world to me. Sadly, Canterlot needs protection, even if nothing big ever happens. But, I'll see if I can get some days off. Sound good?"

"Sounds good. Thanks, BBBFF! You're the best."

"So are you. Now, I need to head out. Mom will be home in a little while. Love you, sis." He gave her head a quick rub and headed out the door.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town, a swirling vortex appeared. Out of the vortex an army of humans came forth. The odd thing about them was that these humans had holes throughout their body. They also had these bug like wings on their back and a curved black horn protruding from their foreheads. These humans were known as CHANGELINGS. Chrysalis, the leader of these Changelings, looked out into the city of Canterlot with an evil expression on her face.

"If I can't conquer Equestria, I'll conquer this world  instead. And there will be no Celestia, no Cadence, and no Twilight Sparkle to stop me."

About an hour later, Twilight was ready to leave. She grabbed her purse, her phone, and her crown.

"I'd better take this just in case. You never know if something might happen." Twilight muttered to herself. Knowing she had everything she needed, she went downstairs to see if it was time to leave.

Twilight found her mom reading a book on the recliner. Twilight Velvet was a middle-aged woman in her early fifties. She was a mystery novelist and a mother that loved her children dearly. She was married to Nightlight, a professor at Canterlot University. Twilight was proud to be apart of this family. Everyone in her family played an important role in their society.

"Oh, hi, honey! I didn't you hear you come in. Do you need something? Oh! You should be getting ready. Your father will be picking us up in thirty minutes." Velvet told her daughter.

"Oh, good. That's what I was going to ask. I am ready. Hey, where's Shining?" Twilight noticed that her brother was not there.

"Your brother will be meeting us at the restaurant. He's picking up Cadence." Twilight's mother informed her.

"Cadence is going to be there?! Yeah, I love Cadence!" She exclaimed. Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadence was Twilight's babysitter when she was younger and Shining Armor's girlfriend. They had been dating for about a year or so. Cadence and Twilight had always been the best of friends, and they still were.

Thirty minutes later, Twilight and her parents were seated in the car and were on their way to Fine Dining. They had to take a different way because two policemen were blocking off the road. No one noticed it, but if you took a good look at the two officers, you'd see that their eyes were glowing a faint green. Regardless, the Sparkle family took the detour and arrived ten minutes later. They saw Shining Armor and Cadence sitting on a bench outside waiting for them. Once the car was parked, Twilight rushed out the car.

"Cadence!"

"Twilight!" The two girls met up with a big hug and began their little handshake.

                            Sunshine, sunshine,

                              Ladybugs awake.

                            Clap your hands

                            And do a little shake.

Everyone laughed at their childish way of greeting.

"Cadence, dear, how are you doing? I have not seen you in a few weeks. I hope you've been taking care of my son," Velvet teased. Cadence and Shining looked away from each other slightly embarrassed.

"I've been doing fine, Ms. Velvet. Shining and I are doing wonderful. Aren't we, Shiny? Uh, Shiny?" Shining was not paying attention to his girlfriend anymore. His eyes and attention were fixated on huge explosions of green light coming from different spots in the city. Car alarms were going off; people were screaming. You didn't need to be a genius to realize that something was wrong.

"I need to go investigate," Shining Armor took out his phone. "Sharp Edge, Cunning, get over to Fine Dining. STAT! I need some help," Shining and Nightlight ran off to see what all the commotion was. The girls stayed behind. Twilight and Cadence were standing by until they heard Velvet scream. Behind them, was a Changeling, ready to pounce like a lion chasing a bird. The three girls backed away slowly. Twilight immediately reasoned that they were the ones attacking the city. She also came up with an idea. Maybe not her smartest, but it was better than nothing. Twilight ran in the opposite direction, Velvet and Cadence following closely behind her. Twilight ran into a nearby alley and allowed her mother and Cadence to run ahead of her. She could see the destruction these things had caused. Cars were turned over, explosions were heard everywhere, and these creatures were causing it. Twilight would not let this go by uncorrected. She took out her crown.

"Now's the time to see if I can be a hero. The whole city sort of depends on it." She placed the crown on her head and transformed.

High above the city, Queen Chrysalis gazed upon the town with malicious pleasure. "That's it my Changelings. Drain the love out of these pathetic beings. This time there won't be anything to stop us. We'll rid this entire country of its love. Nothing in this world will be able to stand in our way. Nothing!" The evil queen let out a vicious  laugh. Twilight heard this and assumed she was the leader. She flew up. "You know, it's really foolish to monologue your evil scheme without checking if anyone's listening."

Chrysalis froze. She recognized that voice. A voice that could cheer up a depressed friend and instill fear into her enemies. Twilight Sparkle. But, how could she be here? Had she discovered the queen's plans? Did she come here to stop them? Chrysalis did not have the patience to wait for those answers.

"Twilight Sparkle, you little brat. You were the downfall to my perfect plan! Equestria could've been mine had it not been for your pesky meddling!" Chrysalis hissed.

"Wait! How do you know who I am? What's Equestria?" Twilight asked, confused.

"Oh, don't give me that nonsense. Trying to play innocent won't do you a thing of good!" The Changeling queen spoke harshly.

Twilight realized what was going on. These weren't ordinary villains. There was only one explanation for it. "You're from another world, aren't you? The magic you possess is not of this world. " Twilight said with a little quiver in her voice.

"I am. You must be this world's Twilight. That doesn't explain why you have wings and a horn, though. However, since you are most likely inexperienced with magic, it'll give me great joy knowing I defeated Princess Twilight Sparkle. Pony or not." Chrysalis shot a fiery beam at Twilight which caught her by surprise. She barely dodged it.

"Changelings! Forget those simpletons. Attack her!" She ordered pointing in Twilight's direction. A swarm of Changelings flew up and began surrounding the young teenager. She yelped looking for a way out until she remembered she had wings. As the Changelings were about to close in on her, she swiftly flew under them and made them bump heads with each other, knocking some of them out of the air.

"Whew! Never thought I'd be doing--Uh oh!" Another swarm was fast approaching her. Twilight teleported out of their way before they reached her and effectively shot them with a beam from her own horn. Another group taken care of. Queen Chrysalis was fuming. "YOU IDIOTS! She should be NO match for you! You are absolutely pathetic! I guess it's up to me. The rest of you, resume the invasion. I'll take care of her." The remaining Changelings did as they were told.

"It's you and me, Sparkle. Scared?"

"Never. I'm ready to defend my home. And I'm not going to stand idly by while it gets decimated. Bring it on!"

The fight began. Chrysalis shot four consecutive beams at Twilight. She sliced them in half with her magic. Twilight teleported behind Chrysalis and shot an attack from behind which Chrysalis easily deflected. The battle continued like this for fifteen minutes straight.

The two opponents had barely broken a sweat. Chrysalis and Twilight shot beams at each other simultaneously causing their beams to collide. Chrysalis's beam was advancing closer to Twilight. The Changeling queen's face broke into an evil grin as she noticed Twilight struggle.

"Face it, Twilight! You've lost. I've won. You'll never beat me." That is what it looked like. Twilight's head was beginning to pound from the magical strain. She couldn't keep it up much longer. Twilight opened one eye. She saw people watching the battle. If they were sitting in chairs, they'd be on the edge of them. There were people counting on her. She wouldn't give up easily. Twilight felt some newfound strength run through her body. Twilight's beam began gaining on Chrysalis's beam.

"NO! NO! NOT AGAIN!" Chrysalis screamed.

"Correction: I've won, and you've lost!" Twilight exclaimed triumphantly. A burst of magical energy emanated from Twilight which flung the Queen and her Changelings out of Canterlot and into some unknown place. The citizens of Canterlot were cheering loudly for their new hero. They had no idea who she was. The crown had placed a perception on Twilight. People saw Twilight and would remember what she did, but they would forget what she looked like if they tried to remember.

Twilight arrived home, exhausted. That battle had taken a lot out of her. Her family was relieved to see her as she had disappeared without a trace.

"Twilight, honey! Where were you? When you ran ahead, Cadence and I lost you. What happened? Are you hurt?" Her mother bombarded her with questions.

"I was...helping some of the people in the streets escape those Changelings. I did a lot of running and dodging," Twilight lied. She could not tell her family that she had just defeated the entire Changeling army and their Queen.

"Well, run up to bed, missy. I bet you'll be just fine in the morning. Maybe you can figure out just what those things were," Her dad recommended. Twilight was more than willing to oblige. She quickly bade everyone good night, got ready for bed, and climbed into it immediately allowing sleep to take her. She didn't know what the future had in store, but she did know that she would be ready for it.
