Twilight is now the ruler of Equestria, but, is it more than what she bargained for?

Despite the name, it's not really a war story. You'll see why the story has its title later on.
Inspired by Loveless Novas: aLIEz. You don't need to watch the video to understand this story, but it's a great music video.
I also wrote this story because during the time when I was thinking it I was going through a VERY tough time in my life. I'm okay now (sorta) but at the time I was pretty dang depressed. Hope y'all enjoy the story.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are gone without a single trace. With nopony to watch over Equestria is up to Twilight to take the throne. However when Queen Chrysalis invades Equestria yet again, it's much more than Twilight can bargain for.

Chapter I: What Hope Remains

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Introduction

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am the ‘ruler’ of Equestria. Or well I use to be.

When I raised to the throne I thought I could handle every challenge that it may throw at me, and I was doing good for a while, until this very tragic day.

Let me give you a little bit of background before I go into why this was a very tragic day. Ever since Celestia and Luna disappeared, I thought Equestria needed more self-defense. So, I authorized the making of weapons, guns, something that Celestia forbidden use of.

We were able to make enough weapons for my Royal Guard to have, and that’s when the Changlings invaded once again. We were holding them off just fine with our new weapons, however that’s when their leader raised.

It wasn’t Queen Chrysalis oh no, it was something else, much worse than her. The new changeling reminded me of Celestia, but it wasn’t her. Its body was much more menacing looking than Chrysalis’s, and to my understanding, this changeling was much more powerful than her.

Because of this new general they were able to wipe the floor with my Royal Guards and moved on to capturing all the citizens of Canterlot. I wouldn’t be surprised of soon they move on to Ponyville and the rest of Equestria.

I don’t know what to do, I’m so lost I just wanna curl up and cry. I don’t have any backup because all the royal guards are either captured or killed and there’s nothing I can do about it! I don’t have any allies!

I don’t know what to do about this rising hell, I really don’t.

I could just ESCAPE Equestria and leave it all behind with Cadence, but that would be selfish. But I just don’t know what to do, I don’t even know if Cadence is still alive now or not!

Who can help me? Can anypony help me at all?
