   "Thought I was dead, didn't you!", Sweetie Drops looked mangled and torn up, her face was barely recognizable now.

"S-S-Sweetie Drops!", Twilight felt a mix of joy, fear, and disgust.

"You know, Chrysalis told me something, she said 'why do you fight for your city' when they don't fight back, you people leave agents like me for dead, now you pay the price, Jon!", Sweetie Drops smiled when she said this, it was a smile that hurt, the wood from the car still inside her face, she didn't remove it on purpose for this moment.

Twilight turned behind her and saw Jon charge up his horn, "Rainbow Dash! Look out!"

Too late, she was struck by a green beam, she was hurt, but still intact.

"You're going to regret doing that!", Exclaimed an angry Rainbow Dash.

She launched into the air, she was going to do a Sonic Rainboom.

   "Okay, ponies, we hold them off until Rainbow Dash is charged up, then we run!", orders Twilight.

"Let's kick some changeling flank! Again!"

Sweetie Drops charged onto Twilight and kicked her in the face, Twilight does not want to hurt Sweetie.

"You don't have to do this Drops!"

"Do what, this?"

She kicks Twilight again, even though she knows she won't hurt her

"Stop! You know you can't beat me, so why are you trying, you're better than this!", Twilight is trying to reason with her.

"Listen to me, I've had enough of me helping everypony out, and nopony helps me, you are an alicorn! You are the one Celestia praises! I'm going to make you feel what it's like to have something fast hit you head on!"

   Twilight forgot about Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom, she looked around to find nopony else but her and Sweetie.

She's going to kill herself and put Twilight in a world of pain just to prove a point.

Twilight looked up, Rainbow Dash is coming in hot and fast.

She knows that it won't kill her, but it's going to hurt as much as getting hit in the face by a car.

'I can't believe she's making me do this, but fine Sweetie Drops, I'll feel the pain for you', thought Twilight to herself.

   She closed her eyes and waited for impact.

Her friends were fighting away from the blast radius.

Twilight was in the middle of it.

In ten seconds the Sonic Rainboom will kill the anger-filled Sweetie Drops, and hurt Twilight immensely.

'8 seconds left, I wonder how the pain will feel', Twilight thought.

   Sweetie Drops realized that Twilight isn't even struggling to get out, she can't believe she's going to feel the pain just for her.

So she whispers into Twilight's ear, "Go, before I change my mind!"

Twilight looks directly into Sweetie's eyes, "I could have left a long time before, but I won't, I'm going to miss you Sweetie Drops"

3 seconds left, they both give each other one last hug

1 second left, they stare directly into the Sonic Rainboom together.

*** -- 5 Days Later -- ***

   Twilight sat on the streets of the rainy Las Pegasus with the rest of her friends, they had just demolished the hotel in Saddle Arabia because of Rainbow Dash's Rainboom, and they were kicked out of the country. However, Sweetie Drops managed to survive because Twilight cast a spell at the last second, but just barely.

"Does anyone want a piece?", asked Rainbow Dash, holding a half eaten white choclate KitKat.

"Sorry darling, but the choclate is soaking wet because of this disastrous rain!", says Rarity, who may be the most uncomfortable out of all of them right now.

"Ok, we've gotta keep moving", says Twilight Sparkle with a tired sigh.

They move through the busy streets where carriages go by, the homeless beg, and the rich play on the slot machines.

"I hope those casino players lose all their money!", Twilight had learned from birth that betting was always bad news.

   The Green Sun was still illuminating the sky, giving the world the impression that Chrysalis was always watching them, always with them.

While they walked, they heard a screeching sound coming from the roundabout in front of them, a carriage had collided and crashed into another one forcefully.

"Hey, are those ponies all right?", asks Pinkie Pie nervously.

"Wait! Stop! Get behind the wall!", orders Twilight, who sees something is up.

They all hide behind a wall and lean to look at the crash site, there is a huge traffic jam because of the crash now.

"This isn't an accident, they crashed into them on purpose!", explains Twilight to her friends, still hiding behind the wall.

From one of the carriages, 3 changelings come out, and then later the driver, Chrysalis.

The Mane 6 are all focusing their attention on Chrysalis as she moves over to the wreckage of the car

"Oh god, what's Chrysalis doing now?", asks Rainbow Dash

"Help me, I need help!", asks one of the ponies trapped in the wreckage of the car. The Mane 6 can't even see his face because there is too much debris.

Chrysalis moves over and removes some of the wood blocking the ponies, they don't know who just saved them.

"Thank you so mu...", The Mane 6 can see that the pony in the wreckage is actually not a pony, it's a changeling.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, thought you'd never see me again?", says Chrysalis to the changeling.

"Listen, I'm sorry for what happened! But you became stronger because of it!"

"Stronger... mabye, but look at my face! I can't recognize myself in the mirror anymore because of you, and I can't let that go unpunished"

"No... No!"

Chrysalis tears the changeling to tiny pieces, and nopony is in a rush to stop her.

"Huh, is he made of glass or something, that took no effort", says a disappointed Chrysalis.

"Okay, changelings, I want every one of you looking for the 6 brats, and don't forget! Executions if you don't bring them!" Chrysalis does a slicing neck motion with her hoof.

   "Is the coast clear?", asks Pinkie Pie.

"I don't know, but I don't feel like being sushi today", Rainbow Dash is very, very nervous.

When the changeling was torn to shreds, The Mane 6 sneakily went through the sewer drainage to find a different city.

"What's happening to Las Pegasus, Twilight?", asks a traumatized Fluttershy

"My guess, everypony is being tortured to find out where we are, and the place is a swamp for changelings", Twilight didn't hold back any punches on Fluttershy.

"Oh... Ok", Fluttershy stops asking questions now.

"Okay, we've went far enough, we should exit these sewers"

   "Listen here, we ain't going up no sewers unless we know for sure the coast's clear", says Applejack.

A sound comes from behind them

"What was that?"

"I-I-I don't know!"

"Relax, it's probably just a rat"

"Yeah, a rat! That's it nothing to be afraid of!"

"That doesn't look like a rat", says Rainbow Dash.

   "That, is huge!", Pinkie Pie is excited yet terrified

"Girls. Run."

They run as fast away as they can from the monster that chases them.

"What is that thing!"

"I don't know! I've never seen anything like it!" Look how many teeth it has!", Twilight Sparkle notices the creature has no eyes, no nose, and no body, it's just a dark, green, saggy ball with a mouth chasing them down a claustrophobic sewer.

"There, an exit!"

   They reach the end of the sewer, where a stairway is waiting for them.

"If we get there in time we can escape this thing!"

They get up the stairs and make their way up, successfully escaping, except one of them is missing.

"Where's Fluttershy?"

"Help me! Get me out of here!", says a voice from the sewer below.

As Fluttershy was getting out of the stairs, she got tangled on some vines, and is now stuck.

Twilight faintly sees a ball rolling towards Fluttershy.

   "Help me! Quick it's getting closer!", Fluttershy has about eight seconds to get out before she's monster food.

"I can't get the vines untangled!", says Twilight desperately.

"Help me girls, get this vine untangled now!"

Five seconds.

"Pull...Pull!"

Three seconds.

"Pull!"

One second.

"Pull!"

Fluttershy gets out and the monster tries to get through, but it's too big.

*Pant* *Pant*, "We, *Pant* did it", says a tired, yet relieved Twilight Sparkle

"No, we didn't", says Fluttershy

"What, we got you out! Of course we did it!"

"Look behind you Twilight", Fluttershy is staring at something above Twilight.

"I've been looking everywhere for you, you little bookworm!"

Chrysalis has found Twilight.

"Oh come on!"

Twilight gets knocked unconscious.

   Twilight Sparkle awakens slowly, her hooves are attached to a wire vertically.

"Ugh, where am I", says the shaken up Twilight, her vision still fuzzy.

"That darn Chrysalis found us and knocked you out real good!", says Applejack, trapped in a cage, along with the rest of her friends.

As Twilight tries to analyze the situation, Chrysalis comes in the room.

"Ah, look who it is, it's miss powerful, how are you doing honey, miss me?", says Chrysalis to Twilight.

"I wouldn't say I'm really happy to see you again, but yeah, I 'miss' you", says the sarcastic Twilight.

"Wow, you developed a sense of humor! We're becoming more like each other everyday!"

"Go fuck yourself, Chrysalis", Twilight genuinely surprised Chrysalis with this language.

"Hmm, you shouldn't have said that, bring out her parents"

"What?"

"Tsk, they didn't tell you in school not to swear when parents are around?"

   "Why are my parents here? What's going on!", exclaims Twilight Sparkle.

"You see, my little bookworm, I'm unfortunately not Tirek, so I can't suck up all of your power, but I can make you work with me, one way or another", Twilight tried to charge up her horn, but it wouldn't work.

"Ah yes, the spell that creates a magical disabling forcefield, pretty neat huh?", says Chrysalis.

"So, this is how it's gonna work, you join me, or I kill a lot of ponies, including these two cuties right here, so say hi to them Twilight!"

"Listen Mom, it's gonna be okay, I'll get us out of here!", Twilight tries to comfort her, but she knows what's going to happen.

"Oh look, little Twily is a big girl now, 'she's gonna protect you and save the day!', Hmph, everypony thinks life is just one big movie where the bad guys die and the heroes survive, well guess what? There are no happy endings in life, so I'm gonna make my happy ending right now, by killing one of your parents"

"So, Twilight, pick one of them, make it easy for me"

Twilight can't answer

"No response, well then, looks like I'm doing this the old fashioned way, thank god we don't have magic!"

Chrysalis takes Twilight's mother and crushes her head repeatedly with her hoof, until her face is non-existent.

"Now then Twilight, I have thirty other of your friends waiting, you might want to join me soon"
