"Huh?!" Skylight woke up. "Nightsky?! Sunrise?! Huh?! TIMBER WOLF!!! Ahh! Help! Someone?! Princess Luna?!?!" Skylight yelled. "Quiet down, little one. You're alright." A mare's voice whispered.

"You are at Hoof Bunckle's hospital in Canterlot. Princess Luna brought you here in the night. So, what is your name, where do you live, and do you feel any pain?" "Oh, good... I'm in Canterlot. Wait, Canterlot?! Oh, well, I'm Skylight Gleam, and I live in Ponyville, and I do feel a bit of pain." She answered.

"Good. I'm Nurse Cure Berry. Ok, so you were hurt a little bit when the Timberwolves attacked you.  Your friends, are safe here. Skylight, don't worry." She said sweetly.

"Oh, ok..." Skylight said. "All your friends are healed. Don't worry, we're here. Queen Ch-Princess Celestia is here." Nurse Cure Berry said. "Oh. Ok. Wait, did you just say Queen Ch? Who's that? Wait... Queen Ch? Queen Chrysalis?!" Skylight leaped up.

"No, no, our teacher was talking about Queen Chrysalis and how they are invading us, disguised as injured ponies, just like you. Until we saw Princess Luna, we relaxed. Sorry."

She said quickly, looking sweetly at Skylight.

"O-ok."

She said she was still a little suspicious.

"Well, you're friends are already healed. Princess Celestia wants you come to her room. Go, your friends are right outside." She said, leading her out. "Oh, thanks."

She said, trotting out to meet her friends.

"Hi!" She said. "Hi.I was just asking Nightsky, but don't these Nurses look and sound a bit... Weird?"

Sunrise  asked, pointing a hoof at one of them. "They seem so relaxed when they are seriously hurt ponies here." She stated.

"Hm, well, they are nurses, what would happen if they just, panicked? The patients would panic too, and it would be chaos. So, maybe nurses are supposed to be like that?" Nightsky said, pointing out. "I guess you're right. We've never actually met any nurses before." Sunrise sighed, and shook her head.

"Ok then, let's go to Princess Celestia's room." Skylight said, as they trotted out.

A guard met them, and pointed the directions to her room. They trotted over there, to be met by Princess Celestia herself. "Hello there, my friends." She said in a raspy voice.

"What happened to your voice?" Skylight asked. "I'm a bit sick, to be honest. " she said, and she guided them to a chair. "Sit." She pointed. "Ok." They all said, and sat down, just when Princess Celestia was serving Tea, before they knew it, they were wrapped in green slime!

"What?!" Nightsky gasped. "Hahaha! Fools! I am not Princess Celestia! I am Queen Chrysalis, the most powerful villain of all!" She laughed.

"The guards will get you though!" Skylight struggled.

"Hmm! Not so smart, did you think I was? I captured all of the guards and replaced them with my changling army. Most of Canterlot is now filled with Changlings, all disguised. I was able to overpower all of it!" She cackled. "Then the real Princess Celestia will come!" Sunrise shouted.

"Haha! Well, she is currently out-of-order, considering she miles away from Canterlot, currently in Appleloosa, participating in a Rodeo show! Hahaha! We will conquer Canterlot, then all of Equestria! Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's wedding was a good oppertunity for finding love, but now I have literally devoured all of Canterlot in my changling army, no one will be able to tell ally-from-Foe! And you three ponies will be stuck here. Until it all ends, I will devour your love for family, and nonsense, like 'friends'!" She teased and laughed, as she poked the ponies.

"Uhhh! Chrysalis! Let us go!" Skylight squirmed.

"Oh, no. Why would I do that?!" Queen chrysalis said, in mock tears. "I am now Ruler of Canterlot, and I am currently  'Princess' of Equestria. I am a supreme pony."

"Well then, princess, I'm gonna kill you!" Skylight screamed. "Ahaha! Call me princess, call me queen!" She cackled. "Queen? Equestria has no Queen.It only has four loyal princesses! Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight!" Nightsky screamed.

"She is right, Chrysalis. you have no place here, in Canterlot, Ponyville, or any place else in Equestria!" A voice yelled.

"What?!" Queen Chrysalis whirled around. "Princess Luna!" Nightsky croaked. "Do not fear, pony folk. I am here."

The princess of the night said, looming over the Queen of the changelings. "I don't fear you!" Queen Chrysalis snarled, but there was a bit of quivering in here voice.

"I thought I had you gone!" "No, Princess Celestia let me come back. I had feared letting Canterlot unsupervised." Princess Luna said, lowering her head.

"I will destroy you!" Queen Chrysalis growled, and four changelings flew in to the room. "Urgh!" Princess Luna thrust her horn to them, and the rope loosened.

"Ha! Who cares about these little ponies. You need to be destroyed!"

Queen Chrysalis flew at Princess Luna. Luna backed up, and smashed herself against Chrysalis. The four changelings turned to Nightsky, Skylight, and Sunrise. They changed them selves in to each of them. Skylight cast a beam of light, bright yellow. Sunrise did a purple beam, suddenly a pink beam from outside. A pink pony ran in, she had curled purple and pink hair, and she was injured.

"Lyvl!?" Skylight cried, and ran to her. "Who is it?" Nightsky asked, while fighting herself.

"It's my cousin, Lovely Lemon. We call her Lyvl for short. Why is she here?" She asked, carrying her.

The three beams that shot from each of the pony's horns had hit the three changelings, and the one that was Nightsky had been fighting reared back, and howled, and pounced at Nightsky. Nightsky leaped up, spread her wings, and from her wings sprout an inky darkness, creating a dark, black beam, shooting the changeling. It screamed, and dissipated. The other three did the same. Skylight, a yellow beam. Sunrise a purple beam. Level too, a pink beam.

The four ponies looked at each other, and looked at Queen Chrysalis. She was hurt, Luna was hurt too, and they were both heaving, breathing hard. Nightsky flew at Queen Chrysalis, and she gasped. Queen Chrysalis turned in to Princesss Celestia! Nightsky stepped back.

"I can't attack Celestia. But its not her. It's an enemy. But..." Nightsky muttered. "Nightsky, attack her! She's not our princess!"

Skylight shouted, running at her side. Sunrise and Lyvl ran to Luna, trying to heal her. Nightsky hesitated, and ran at her, kicking her, and running her down. "Ugh!"

Queen Chrysalis exploded. "You cannot defeat me! I am eternally hungry for love! Canterlot is mine! Nopony is stopping me!" She growled, screaming.

"No, Chrysalis, you are no match for anypony in Equestria." Princess Luna growled, she shot a beam of dark purple.

Queen Chrysalis's Princess Celestia morph melted away, and so did her black coat. "What?!" Skylight gasped. Queen Chrysalis's black top had revealed a pink ailcorn, her wings were still green, but a more limish color. her eyes were pink, and she did not seem evil anymore.

"Huh?!" She woke up. "Queen Chrysalis?" Princess Luna asked.

"Princess Luna! What are you doing here?" She asked, and looked around.

She saw the changelings outside, which were now weary, and Queen Chrysalis seemed to realize she was the monster. "I-I did that?" She asked weakly, and Luna nodded.

"Queen Chrysalis, you were turned in to a changeling, and you almost destroyed Equestria. but my friends, Nightsky Twinkle, Skylight Gleam, Sunrise Sprinkle, and Lovely Lemon had helped me."

"Err, princess Luna?" Sunrise asked. "Yes?" "It wasn't us.  We were just kind of  a helping hoof."

"Oh, a helping hoof. No, Sunrise, it was all of you, I couldn't have restored Queen Chrysalis to her normal self. But I ask, will you go back to the Crystal Empire? There is already another princess ruling it, she is a very generous pony. I'm sure she'd let you stay in the castle." Luna turned to Queen Chrysalis.

"I understand that while my... unstable state, you appointed a new princess for the empire. I'm sure that's for the best." Queen Chrysalis said, sighing.

"I'm sorry we couldn't wait. It was just..." Luna looked down.

"Princess Luna?" Nightsky Twinkle asked. "Yes, Nightsky?" Luna answered. "What happened to the creepy nurses?" "The Creepy nurses? Oh, them. I'll go see. I'm pretty sure after original Queen Chrysalis was defeated, the changelings went away. The original nurses came back." "Oh, that's good." Nightsky was relieved."Princess Luna!" a voice called, and a familiar purple pony came in. "I heard there was an-what?" Twilight stepped back. "Who's that?" She pointed at Queen Chrysalis.

"Queen Chrysalis." Lyvl said. "Queen Chrysalis?  No way." Twilight said, and Luna talked to her.

"Those four?" Twilight whispered. "Yes. I think they might be some ponies Celestia might want to see." Luna whispered back.  "Girls, follow me. I'll take you to ponyville. There might be something about you four." Twilight invited. "It's ok, i guess." Nightsky shrugged. "I want to go back!" Sunrise moaned. "Well, I don't really want to but if you insist." Skylight crossed her hooves. "I've never seen ponyville!" Lyvl sounded excited. "So, let's go." Twilight smiled. Never did anypony pony know this was the beginning of a great battle. The Rise of the Fallen.
