The Fall Of Equestria (Girls)
How This Started
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSunset Shimmer whistled on her way to the music room. Her friends were waiting, and she wasn't going to let them down.
"Sunset Shimmer?"
Principal Celestia was standing by the door along with Vice Principal Luna. They both looked at her with faces of approval.
"We wish to say thank you for your work here at this school. We hope to see you again in the future." And with that, they headed to the gym. Sunset just smiled at her teachers.
"Sunset. Change of plans. We need you to go to the gym in five minutes. Meet us there," Rainbow called as she rushed past her, followed by every one of her friends.
Sunset chuckled. "Guess I'll stay here."
She started to head to the gym, once getting the approval of her phone. She opened the doors and noticed it was dark. She moved along the wall searching for the light switch as the door closed.
"SURPRISE!"
She jumped as the lights flickered on and the entire school crowded the place. They all smiled and grinned at her.
"Um, hi. What's going on?" Sunset asked while stepping to the stage, trying to escape the hordes of people.
"We would like to explain that to you, if you would sit." Luna stepped at a microphone, her sister waiting. Sunset looked around. Where were her friends?
"Sunset!" Rainbow waved her over. Sunset walked over to her best friends and sat next to Pinkie and Fluttershy. They patted her gently.
"Sunset Shimmer. We are gathered here today to say thank you. You have done a great deed for us. You have saved our school three times, and we owe you a great deal.
"You have protected us, and we are truly grateful for it. The Battle of the Bands, the Friendship Games, Camp Everfree...in fact, Gloriosa asked us to tell you thanks. We all give you this gift."
And with that, they turned around to the bag sitting on the ground.
And the bag moved.
It transformed.
The thing was was hideous. It was a she, guessing with the long green-blue hair. A green-blue dress hung from her figure. She had black skin, plus a horn. A horn that had holes. She had holes. She was a hole in the world.
She was Queen Chrysalis.
The queen of the Changelings laughed. "Come out, my subjects. Feast." And with that, all hell exploded.
Changelings everywhere. Sunset witnessed something she could never forget- death. A Changelings grabbed Flash Sentry and bit into his neck. They did that to everyone they could get their hands on. They killed and fed. It was horrible.
Sunset felt a tug on her arm. Rainbow was pulling her away. Rainbow was saving her. Where was Fluttershy? What about Rarity and Applejack? Pinkie and Twilight?
"Come on, Sunset. Applejack!" Rainbow yelled. The country girl was over with Rarity. They were making their way towards them. Fluttershy and Pinkie were carrying Twilight. Twilight wasn't awake.
Fluttershy suddenly gasped. "Scootaloo! Applebloom! Sweetie Belle!" She ran to the trio as they were cornered. The Changelings cornering them looked up in surprise as she pushed past them and grabbed the girls. She got to the exit just as the others got out.
They ran and ran. No idea where they were going. They just ran.
"We need to get to the portal." Sunset muttered.
"No. We have to see...Granny...Big Mac...." Applejack ran to the barn they had somehow gotten to. "Granny!"
"What are you doing, Applejack? The world's not ending. Hold on." Granny Smith opened the door slowly and Applejack lunged at her with a hug.
"Granny," she sobbed, "I was so worried."
"What are you goin on about?"
Sunset pushed past them and collapsed.
"Is she all right?" Granny asked. "Are any of you all right?"
The other girls carried Twilight in and Fluttershy cradled the younger girls in her arms. "It's all right."
"What's going on?" Granny Smith demanded.
"Where's Big Mac?" Applejack asked, looking around.
"He's with Cherilee at the school."
Applejack's eyes widened. She dropped to her knees and sobbed. She had lost her brother.
Rainbow bent down next to her friend. "Applejack, I'm sorry. But he would want you to survive. So that's what we need to do."
"Sis." Applebloom sat down. "I know what you feel. But Rainbow is right. He would want us to survive, and he wouldn't want us to die jus' cause he did." Tears ran from her eyes but she continued on. "We have to because that's what Big Mac wants. We need to respect his wishes."
"What are you going on about?" Granny was getting worried and she let it crawl into her voice. "Why are you crying, and where is Big Mac?"
"Granny, where do you keep your tools and also first aid kit?" Rarity asked.
"First aid? In the cabinet."
Applebloom stood and wiped her tears. "I'll get it."
"Oh no, you won't, not til you give me some sort of explanation," Granny Smith said. She grabbed Applebloom's arm. "What in tarnation is going on?"
As they led the Apples away, no one truly saw Granny's reaction. No one other than those who were present.
"Come on, Twilight," Rarity muttered while applying bandages to her friend's head. "Please wake up."
"Sunset?" Fluttershy knelt down to the fiery haired girl. "Are you all right?"
Sunset hadn't responded. She had looked into the small fire that someone had started, she didn't know who. She started and thought how she was going to rip every Changeling in the world to shreds.
