Chroma Squad: Journey of Red
Chapter 2: Wedding Brawl!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe room was silent as the ponies, the bride and groom, and Princess Celestia watched the queen of the changelings and a strangely dressed creature calling itself Chroma Red stand their ground, waiting for the other to make the first move as everypony, including Twilight, wondered what this creature was.
"What is that? I have never seen such a creature. It stands on two legs, and has odd claws like Spike's, but it's different. It's taller than Princess Celestia by a foot, and it is clearly physically powerful giving it's muscular build, and it speaks our language?"
Twilight's mind was racing as there were more questions than there were answers, then she turned to see her brother Shining armor next to Cadence. Snapping herself back to reality, and the real situation of the changeling’s invasion, she quickly thought of an idea.
With great strength Chroma Red tossed large rock from the ground at the queen, then quickly ran behind it. Chrysalis focused her magic at the pillar that was only a mere foot away, and blasted it into dust. To her surprise Chroma Red use the dust as cover, and launched himself in the air, so to come down on the queen with a powerful strike of his fist.
Chrysalis would have felt that horrible pain tomorrow morning if it weren't for five of her changelings flying in the windows, and knocking Chroma Red away from her. Chroma Red was surprised, but quickly flipped in the air, and landed back in fighting stance as five new fighters joined the battle.
. . . .
Twilight moved to over to Cadence, and Shining as the creature distracted the queen. "Are you ok?" She looked over the couple to see if there was any damage.
"We're fine Twilight, but I don't know if that creature can beat the queen, what do we do?" Shining looked at the fight as the thought of more changelings joining this battle would crash this surprising ray of hope.
"Can you use your barrier spell to repeal the changelings?"
"That could work, but the queen almost completely drain my energy, I don't have the strength."
"Then let my love give you strength." Cadence placed her horn next to Shining's causing a bright magical light to glow, and surround them.
. . . .
Chroma Red now had to deal with these lesser bug demons again, it's a good thing he had another card up his sleeve as in a flash he summoned his battle spear, He twirled his weapon around in the air and smacked the changelings out cold one by one.
"Where is that thing?!" Chrysalis question was soon answered as her changelings were being attacked, and knocked out by the creatures spear weapon.
"You think your puny weapon will save you!" Chrysalis began to charge her magic, and aim her horn to destroy the entire roof of the building, until a light coming from the bride, and groom caught her attention.
Both Cadence, and Shining Armor levitated into the air, glowing with a pure magical light. Soon Shining's barrier spell was cast, blasting the queen, and all changeling in Canterlot into the air far away. The battle was won, and the city saved, Twilight ran to her teacher, Princess Celestia to see if she was hurt.
"Princess are you ok?"
"I am fine twilight, I'm just not as young as I use to be." Celestia said as she rubbed the back of her sore neck.
Twilight was relieved at her teacher's safety however she gasped as she turned to the creature to find it laying on the ground. Everypony quickly ran to Roy who had transformed back into his human form to find he was still breathing, but he looked like he just passed out. The ponies surrounding the hero were quiet for some time, until one spoke up.
"What is it...or he?" Twilight started as her mind tried to solve this puzzle.
"Maybe he's a shaved diamond dog." Pinkie pie blurted out
"I don't believe so but he clearly has a fabulous outfit that somehow disappeared." Rarity said.
"I have never seen an animal like this, almost like a monkey, but..." Fluttershy's mind was busy trying to processing this information.
"Well I haven't got a clue what he is, but I reckon if he went to the trouble to fight those varmints then he can't be that bad." Applejack had a good point as Rainbow Dash quickly agreed.
"Applejack is right, plus did you see him beat up those changelings? That was kind of cool."
Celestia soon brought order to the discussion as she told the ponies that no matter who or what this creature is it clearly tried it's best to save them, and gave Shining Armor, and Cadence enough time to repeal the changelings. Then everypony agreed with the princess as the guards came into the cathedral to check on the princess, Celestia quickly told them to take the creature to one of the guest bedrooms and have guards stand by outside.
"Now let are guest rest as now with the real Cadence we can have a true wedding." With that the ponies quickly prepared for the wedding of Cadence and Shining armor with much more positive results.
Shining Armor, Princess Celestia, and the other ponies apologize to Twilight for doubting her in the beginning, although Twilight didn't hold it against them. Princess Celestia was commending Twilight Sparkle, for it was her instincts, and conviction to them that ultimately saved the day. The wedding ceremony was quickly rescheduled, with Twilight eagerly overseeing preparations for a much happier, and profoundly appreciative Cadance. Shining Armor, and Princess Cadance were soon married, and an ensuing celebration occurs.
. . . .
Roy remembered the last moment of conciseness. He was battling the bug monster and was prepared to dodge her magic blast. Then suddenly a strange warm light showered him, knocking him out.
Now Roy must rest.
