Family of Two
Wedding Invaders, It begins.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTrevor couldn't understand the predicament he and his sister were in, questions filled his mind. Where they drugged and all this is just a drug fueled hallucination? No, it can't be. Violet was with him, so it can't be that. Whatever the reason may be, Trevor wouldn't care as long as Violet is safe and unharmed.
The cave around them shined with a dim blue light, lighting the way forward. The woman, who introduced herself as Twilight Sparkle, mentioned that she felt another person trapped here as well. Trevor stayed silent, hardly believing her, while Violet hung onto Trevor as they walked.
Imagine Trevor’s surprise when they found another woman in the cave. She was bruised badly and few stains of blood were noticeable on her torn dress. She was asleep, but wouldn’t be for much longer.
Violet let out a sneeze that echoed through the cave walls, waking up the other woman from her slumber. A pained groan left her mouth before her eyes fluttered open.
“Cadence!” Twilight exclaimed as she ran up to the downed woman and wrapped her arm in an embrace. The latter did the same before pulling back.
“Twilight, how did you find me?” The woman known as Cadence asked. Twilight only shrugged at her question.
“I… don't know, I just felt someone else in the caverns and-” Twilight was abruptly stopped as Cadence placed a finger on her lips.
“Okay, I get that, but how did you get here?” Cadence asked before removing her finger.
“I met your double and she didn't like me interfering with her plans.” Twilight answered. As the two women conversed, Trevor had been taking this moment to check on Violet. Other than sprained ankle, Violet seemed fine.
“Are you sure you alright?” Trevor asked once more. Violet, after rolling her eyes under her bright orange goggles, looked back at Trevor.
“For the tenth time, I'm fine, so stop being such a worry wart.” Violet answered. Trevor could only chuckle at his sister's response.
“I'm your big brother, I can't help it if I worry a lot.” He said, smiling under his mask. The smile soon left as Violet tried to stand again only to be met with pain. Trevor quickly picked her up again, not wanting Violet to hurt herself.
A pained yelp greeted Trevor's ears. Turning towards the owner of the yelp, Trevor saw Cadence trying to stand, but by the looks of it, she was hurting badly. Twilight kept her up by placing an arm over her shoulders.
“We need to hurry, it's almost time.” Cadence said. Twilight only nodded and Trevor could see a small lavender light begin to emit at the tip of her horn. As if by instinct, He closed his eyes and covered Violet’s eyes as well.
All throughout the span of a second, the light grew and engulfed everypony and everyone surrounding the unicorn. As fast as the light came, it vanished and left nothing as it took the group to their desired destination.
But not all things went as planned. Trevor and Violet had never been teleported by any means before, making the spell unfit to keep the two humans.
The feeling of being weightless was a new feeling for Trevor. However, it wasn't long before that feeling left, leaving him disoriented and confused. Once he got his bearings, he took notice of two things.
First was that he laid on a bed of tall grass, outside of the caverns he and his sister were trapped in. Second, Violet was nowhere in sight - and this realization gave the boost he need to get up onto his feet.
Trevor gave a slow three hundred and sixty degree spin, trying to spot Violet anywhere, to no avail. Worry filled Trevor's mind before his gaze landed on the building nearest to him.
A large palace fit for royalty - if so then Trevor stood on the gardens. He stared at it in awe, before being taken out of his stupor at a strange feeling pulling his attention towards the palace.
He felt as if he needed to be there and unconsciously started walking towards the door heading into the palace itself.
As Trevor entered through the door, he felt the need to speed up as the feeling that pulled him intensified.
Pain, nausea and confusion was all Violet could feel. One moment she was held tightly by her brother but the next she was on white marble floor. Taking notice of the sudden change of scenery, Violet also saw that she sat in the middle of a long and tall hallway that was decorated with paintings, vases, fancy wooden tables, and more.
She marveled at the well decorated hall before wincing in pain as she tried to stand once again. The pain soon became unbearable, making Violet whimper at each surge before it vanished. All of a sudden the pain left and Violet was able to stand.
Confusion donned the girl, and it only worsened as the light from the sun slowly left the halls. A loud hum greeted Violet's ears. Not long after that, figures started crashing through the windows.
Frightened by what is going on, Violet started to run. Not looking back, Violet could not only hear the sounds of windows shattering but also the sound of armored steps.
Quickly turning left, Violet could only guess on what she had just bumped into and opening her eyes, Violet could only feel more terrified.
It looked similar to the women she and Trevor had met moments ago, only this time the stranger was male. He wore what she could assume was some sort of advanced suit of armor. His mask covered his face and the visor emitted a green glow along with some parts of the armor.
A sword was sheathed in a scabbard attached to the back. He looked down at Violet, leaving the poor girl scared for her life.
“You must hide, child. It is unsafe.” He said before walking past her and breaking into a full sprint down the hall Violet came from. Following the stranger's words, Violet had found a guest room she could hide in before locking the door.
Violet was scared, terrified even and the feeling worsened as the thought of Trevor not being nearby. Curling up into a ball, her back was against the large bed.
Unnoticed by Violet, her chest piece began pulse its blue light. She cried out of terror, tears began streaming down her cheeks as she quietly sobbed by herself.
The spell worked, Twilight and Cadence were standing in front of the large doors that led into the wedding. It was after a quick look when Twilight noticed that the two siblings from earlier weren't with them.
Confusion, then worry and finally panic came to Twilight in full force. The thought of her leaving the two behind in the caverns or accidently separating them filled her mind.
“No, no, no.” Were the only words leaving her mouth before being roughly shaken out of her panic by Cadence.
“Twilight calm down. I'm sure they're alright but we can't look for them. We need to stop the wedding now before-” The voice of Twilight’s mentor rang through the closed doors. The wedding had just started. Without another word, Twilight forced the doors open before yelling.
“I object!” She yelled, gaining the attention from the crowd and a few groans of annoyance from her friends.
“Ugh! Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother?” The imposter said before she began to cry. “Why does she have to ruin my special day?!” She exclaimed.
“Because it's not yours!” Twilight heard Cadence yell before standing beside her. “It's mine!”
Gasps filled the room before it was replaced with murmurs of the crowd. Twilight could see the shocked faces of her friends.
“Oh Phooey, you found out.” The imposter said mockingly, before being engulfed in green fire. After the fire dissipated, it revealed the true identify of the imposter.
Queen Chrysalis.
The Queen turned to look at the hypnotized Shining Armor before forming a smirk. With a snap, Shining’s gaze snapped towards Chrysalis.
“You know what to do, sweetie.” Chrysalis said in Cadence’s voice. Shining nodded and raised his hand towards the window as his hand shone his blue magic hue. With a flash, Shining sent a bolt of magic towards the shield that encased the city.
The bolt hit and shattered the shield with ease. The sound was similar to glass and pieces of the shield fell as it slowly began to shut down.
With wide eyed stares, everypony looked out of the windows as the shield fell.
“And so it begins.” The voice of The Queen brought Twilight's attention back. Twilight saw that a few of the guards that were posted near the windows had been engulfed in the same green fire as Chrysalis before revealing that they were also Changelings.
The Changelings surrounding the entire wedding unsheathed their weapons, making everypony in the room begin to panic and run away - only to be cut off by the door blowing off its hinges, narrowly missing their heads.
“Round them up, boys! We got a city to take over!” Chrysalis shouted, gaining the cheers from her soldiers. Soon the Changeling soldiers went to work and bounded everypony. Twilight and her friends saw this and went into action.
At the cost of their dresses, they had fought off the changelings but to no success. They kept getting back up without a scratch and Chrysalis smirked as her men stood back up as if nothing had happened.
As much as Chrysalis enjoyed their fruitless efforts, she grew bored and held them up via magic. The six mares were lifted up by the green aura of Chrysalis’ magic.
They were lifted six feet of the ground and Chrysalis intended to smash them against the floor but Celestia wasn't having it. Acting quickly with her magic, Celestia had forcefully pushed the Queen away and sent her crashing into a wall. Twilight and her friends were released from the magical grip as a result.
“Quickly, run!” Celestia shouted. Twilight and her friends did just as they were told and ran out the room but the soldiers gave chase.
Confusion filled Trevor’s mind as he kept being pulled towards a certain location. It had intensified once more only a minute ago, leaving Trevor with a sense of worry of an unknown reason.
As he walked through the seemingly endless corridors, he began to wonder if he was lost or not. He had seen the same vase over three times in the past ten minutes.
Trevor saw the hall split in two and continued walking towards the left hall. The hall seemed to be darker than the other but light shone as he walked by a large window that overlooked a city below.
It was through the corner of his eyes that he noticed the sky, it was blue, yes, but it rippled every now and again. Narrowing his eyes, Trevor could see that it wasn't the sky that was doing so, but rather something almost similar to a bubble shield from certain Sci-fi movies.
Not moments later, the sounds of windows shattering greeted his ears before being hit by something with incredible force. Forced onto the floor, Trevor saw his assailant and what he saw was something that confused him.
It was an armored man with bug like wings and strange as it is, Trevor wasn't so surprised at that, but what did though was that he and others began charging through the halls - but one remained, looking at him with a sword in his hands. He started hovering over him, ready to plunge the sword into Trevor.
The latter quickly grabbed his attacker's leg before pulling, causing the attacker to slip onto the floor. Trevor took this chance to get up and run but didn't too far as the armored man flew towards him and tackled Trevor back onto the floor before repeatedly pounding his mask, causing it to crack slightly.
With an impressive shove, Trevor pushed the attacker away before getting up and grabbing the nearest item. A vase.
Smashing atop the attackers head, Trevor then began to punch, kick and shove but it only succeeded in angering his attacker. Trevor hacked and cough as he was quickly grabbed by the neck and with smirk, the armored man began to slowly apply pressure.
Trevor tried to break the man's grip but only served as amusement for the latter. Vision slowly deteriorating, Trevor subconsciously took hold of one of his Hellfire shotguns before pulling the trigger.
Blood splattered onto his mask and the deadly grip loosened. Trevor realized what had just occurred as he gazed at the man's chest, seeing multiple bullet entries as well as green ooze.
Falling onto the floor dead, the man lost and Trevor won but shock donned the later as he stared at the gun his hand. His breathing went back into a steady pace before exhaling loudly.
“Holy fuck.” He said under his breath. After getting his nerves together, He continued down the hall.
This proved to be troublesome as more and more of those armored people were going down the hall. To fuel the fire, he could swear he heard crying over the loud steps.
Gritting his teeth, Trevor began to walk again, heading closer and closer to the armored men. Guns in hand, Trevor knew what had to be done.
‘If that other guy attacked me for no reason, what's to say that the others won't do the same?’ Trevor thought as he reached a large single white door. The pull intensified.
Trying to open the door only allowed him to find out that it was locked. Taking a step back, Trevor then proceeded to ram the door with his left shoulder.
Another ram and the door burst open, allowing Trevor to see what - or who - was inside.
