“I've come to take your castle for good this time princess.” The mystifying two tone voice carried throughout Celestia's chambers. The princess of the sun backed away in abject fear at the power radiating from the fallen queen. It was thick in the air and weighed down on her very soul.

“Please Chrysalis, think about this. You don't have to go down this path again, you changed so much. You have done so much better. How could you just give it all up?” The changelings smile was a vicious one, fully exposing her fangs in their terrible glory.

“Who said I was giving anything up? I am only doing what I now posses the power to do. Would you like to know what that is my dearest?”

Celestia had to swallow a lump in her throat before asking. “What is it that you really want?”

“You.” The single word was uttered in a low smooth tone that sounded otherworldly with the fallen queen's newfound voice. It sent a shiver down the princesses spine and made her legs tingle with anticipation. As Chrysalis came closer and closer Celestia couldn't stop her heart from quickening its pace. When she was but and inch away her heart felt like it was about to burst. Chrysalis leaned in ever so slightly, her delicious lips were a mere hairs length away when it happened.

An explosion sounded out through the city of Canterlot soon followed by a large ball of fire erupting towards the open sky. Both Celestia and Chrysalis were too shocked to move for a moment. Celestia was first to snap out of it and immediately got up and blink teleported to Luna, carrying Chrysalis with her. The courtroom where they appeared was chaotic to say the least. The last of the nobles were being forced out of the large room by guards and platoons were coming and going like mad.

Luna was at the center of it all, barking out orders to try and get a hold on the situation. When she saw her sister she immediately came over to give a sit-rep. “Sister I have sent several platoons to the site of the explosion to get an eye on the situation. For now it's only the day guard but the night guard should be forming ranks and reporting here any minute for backup. We do not know details yet but from some pegasi scouts we have some general ideas of what's going on. There was a small squad of five reptilians with two carts that entered the city today. They all wore some degree of armor and were spotted close to the proximity of the incident. After that intel was gathered the scouts reported back. I already sent out your captain with the first squad. She should be reporting any minute with the communication crystal.”

Before Celestia could get a word in a hologram of her captain Gleaming Shield appeared over the table that served as a central hub. She looked worse for wear and strangely enough looked ready to vomit. Her voice was rushed and terrified but she was able to hold it together. “Ma'am the enemy consists of an empeiros level necromancer and four zealot level shadow knights! They had at least two dozen corpses already reanimated and have killed civilians and soldiers to bolster their ranks! Downtown is currently being overrun and most of the guard are losing nerve at the sight of their friends as walking corpses! We need assistance now!” The image cut out as Gleaming turned to put up a shield for her squad.

While they were absolutely livid about the losses both sisters remained calm. Luna was first to suggest a course of action. “Sister I need you to take over commanding the troops while I head to the front lines. I am the most familiar with this type of magic. Perhaps I'll be able to break the spell on the undead and cripple their growing force.” As the moon princess moved to take wing Celestia put a hoof on her shoulder.

“I believe it would be unwise to change command in a situation like this. You have the best grasp on the situation so you should remain here.”

“But what about their growing forces? Without me the losses will continue to grow until the necromancer is struck down!”

“I can take care of that.” Both princesses looked to Chrysalis. “I have a transformation with the necessary spells to disable the growing horde of the undead. The magic I posses now is great enough to cripple their force but I will need backup after the spell is complete as it will take a few moments for me to recover.”

Celestia offered a ghost of a smile before she spoke. “I will provide you and my soldiers protection. Luna please send the night guard for backup when they arrive.” The lunar princess agreed to the plan and it was set in motion at once. Celestia took the liberty of teleporting herself and her charge above the battlefield. What they saw would have looked right at home in a horror show. Guards struck out with spells and weapons at corpses in burned and tattered rags that had once been expensive suits and gowns. The corpses could take fireballs and lightning bolts and continue to walk or even crawl on. The smell of their charred flesh and blood was palpable in the air. Most of the guards didn't even look like they were fighting, the princess noticed. Some were retreating or simply lying by a pool of their own vomit. These were the ones that made the easiest targets for the enemy. While Celestia understood the fear and trepidation they felt she couldn't help but feel rage burn inside of her soul. She shouted in a voice that was last heard over a millennia ago. It carried over the entire battlefield and even reached those barely clinging to life.

“IS THIS WHAT YOU SWORE TO DO?! COWER IN FEAR AND LET YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS DIE!? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE LIGHT SHINING THROUGH THE DARKNESS, THE HOPE OF THE DOWNTRODDEN, THE WILL OF THE CROWN! STAND AND FIGHT, STAND AND PROTECT, STAND AND SLAY THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN MAKE SUCH A MOCKERY OF OUR WAY OF LIFE! FOR EQUESTRIA!”

“FOR EQUESTRIA!” The battle cry echoed though the entire city. Soldiers that had been hopeless a moment ago had suddenly gained the courage to fight an entire army alone. Chrysalis looked to the sun princess and could only stare in awe for a moment. Her mere presence gave these timid guards the will to fight. She then cast a large scale spell and when Chrysalis looked back to the battle she was amazed. Every time any soldier received an injury in began to heal at an astonishing rate. These two actions allowed for the soldiers to hold their ground against the horde of undead. Shortly after the night guard arrived and the troops began to slowly push the grotesque herd back.

Chrysalis calmed herself and channeled her magic. Her transformation didn't come as much of a surprise to the sun princess. The lich floating next to her was a mumified bipedal creature with curved goat horns. The presence of such a being dropped the temperature to a bone chilling cold. Its hollow sockets locked with her gaze for a moment before the transformed changeling raised both hands. Each glowed a sickly green that glowed brighter and brighter with each passing moment. Shortly after the spell had started a previously hidden rune on the reanimated glowed with the same light. When it became nearly blinding the runes all shattered and the corpses dropped dead. The soldiers seized the opportunity to advance on the necromancer and shadow knights. Chrysalis felt her head become slightly foggy at the expense of so much magic at once but shook off the feeling shortly after.

“Chrysalis come on, we need to help on the front lines.” Celestia didn't wait for a reply as she flew in the direction of the battle. Chrysalis assumed her normal form and quickly followed. The guards had already begun to attack the knights trying to get to the recovering necromancer in the back. The reptilians actually had been able to do some damage even during a retreat. Their armor was heavy enough to take an abundance of damage and their swords looked to be made of stygian iron. The healing magic Celestia was trying to use had little to no affect on the wounds made by those weapons.

Celestia had enough losses for one day and dive bombed the knights. Her impact had incredible force and cleared a direct path to the necromancer. Her troops surrounded the knights individually and systematically eliminated them. Celestia blinked forward and knocked the necromancer to the ground. She pinned him there with a hoof on each arm. Chrysalis swore she heard each humerus shatter as the princess stomped down. The reptilian cried out in pain and Celestia spoke in a voice colder than ice. “You are going to tell me every last one of the details on this plan. Do we have an understanding?” After a few seconds with no reply the princess pressed down harder with her hooves and the stone beneath the overgrown lizard splintered with cracks. She spoke in the same voice over his screams “Do we have an understanding?” He frantically shook his head and the sun princess let off some pressure. That was when Chrysalis noticed them.

Celestia was surrounded by two faint outlines on each side. The changeling was too late to call out before they materialized and struck. In the commotion both had forgotten that necromancers had wraiths. The spectral beings plunged their sickles down through the top of the princesses back. Celestia didn't even have time to scream before she dropped to the ground in a pool of her own blood. Chrysalis however did enough screaming for the both of them. She was beyond mortified, in front of her the most precious being in the world had just been slain. She saw the life drain from her eyes and couldn't hold back a waterfall of tears. The one person who had ever truly accepted her was gone... she was alone again. She was overwhelmed by sadness until a laugh echoed across the now silent battlefield. The broken reptilian was laughing. The noise seemed to reverberate though the changeling's skull. Chrysalis held her head in her hooves when the sadness started to fade away. It was replaced with something stronger, something that wouldn't let this go on, white hot fury was all she felt. The only thing that she saw now was red.

She wanted this filthy, disgusting, wretch to suffer for his actions and she had the perfect transformation to do this. There would be consequences but Chrysalis didn't care, she was willing to give anything to know this filth got what it deserved. She focused on a form she had been unfortunate enough to see once, the normal green fire that consumed her had turned bright crimson and what emerged could not be called Chrysalis anymore. The creature took a short moment to gather in its surroundings. It raised a hand and the reality around it shattered. The creature stood on the real battlefield, still littered with corpses.

Celestia stood back in shock at what she was seeing. After Chrysalis had broken the spell she had passed out and fell from the sky. Celestia caught her and tried to wake her but the trap placed on the reanimation's had been a powerful one. Not being able to do anything but continue to supply the changeling with love she had waited. Not much time had passed before the changeling was engulfed in malevolent fire and emerged taking the shape of one ruler of the underworld, Baphomet. He broke the spell holding Chrysalis like child's play and had his sights set on the necromancer. Celestia glanced at the fire between his horns and it was dim, a signal that balance needed to be restored.

Even with her highly trained and keen eyes Celestia was unable to follow the spastic movements of the entity. It was almost as if her mind was unable to make sense of what it was seeing and tried its best to fill in the blanks. The reptilians had still been trying to retreat when the demon appeared in front of the necromancer. The entire fight froze at the sight of the creature. Its mere presence commanded respect, lest you be met with a fate worse than death. A slight movement with its left hand and the few reanimation's the necromancer had managed to bring back fell once again. He was visibly shaking now, with his connection to the dark arts he was able to feel how powerful this entity truly was. Baphomet reached its right hand toward the cowering reptilian and gently pressed a finger to his skull. The reptilian suddenly crumpled to the ground, the soldiers thought a single touch had killed him but Celestia knew better. Death would have been a blessing for him.

The creature turned its goat head toward the princess and gave her a short glance of consideration. When the flame between its horns began to turn bright the creature seemed to change its mind. It was suddenly engulfed in the crimson flames that brought it to this plane of existence and Chrysalis was standing in its place. She collapsed a moment later. Celestia flew to her loves side to treat her. While scanning the changeling with her magic Celestia kept an eye on the knights. With their leader gone each one gave in without much of a fight. The sun princess would need to interrogate each one individually but that could wait until later. Lighting her horn Celestia teleported to the medical wing of the castle. She was quick to hand off Chrysalis to the staff temporarily for treatment. From her earlier diagnosis the princess couldn't see anything wrong but when dealing with entities like Baphomet you could never really know what would happen.

Chrysalis woke with a start later on that night. After sitting up in the hospital bed and taking a moment to catch her breath the changeling took in her surroundings. She was in the infirmary again and the great princess sunbutt was resting her head on the edge of the bed. Celestia was woken up with a hysterical changeling tackling her to the ground and holding her with a steel grip. When the princess opened her mouth to respond it was met with the eager and hungry lips of a changeling. She went along with the admittedly passionate kiss but was confused nonetheless. When Chrysalis finally broke away from the kiss she still held the alicorn tight. Celestia was more worried now than before, she wiped a few tears from the changeling's cheeks. “Don't cry love bug, everything's alright for now, we're safe.”

There was a small sniffle before she responded. “I'm just glad you're still here Tia. I mean... I saw... I thought you were dead.” With that last image Celestia had managed to put a picture together.

“I think that a few of the undead were trapped with some sort of illusion magic that was triggered when you broke their seals. From here it just looked like you passed out then suddenly became that... thing.” Chrysalis had managed to calm down a bit and wanted to recount her side of things.

“I had just broken the spell and you said you wanted to go help on the front lines. You charged in and had the necromancer captured. Without any warning his wraiths appeared and impaled you. I wasn't fast enough to do anything so I just watched. I was so devastated that I just sat there for who knows how long crying. When the lizard started to laugh I was filled with a level of rage that I never felt before. I knew what transforming into it would mean but I didn't care, I just wanted that wretch to suffer. I transformed and blacked out, when Baphomet finally attacked I felt something in the void. In something I know was no longer than an instant but felt like an eternity I experienced everything that reptilian would feel for the rest of time. It's hard to explain and even harder to grasp but it's the best explanation I have. I waited for more but strangely enough he was the only one. I honestly expected more collateral damage.”

“Did you ever transform into that creature before?”

“Yes, one time. It took multiple souls and caused a lot of damage before finally letting me have my body back.” Celestia just laid there on the floor with her love bug and thought the situation through.

“We need to begin interrogations as soon as possible. If they're planning something else like this we need to be ready. This is the first time in a long time there has actually been a conflict like this. We're going to have to switch to a wartime mindset.”

“You're right, this needs all of the attention we could possibly give it. Something on this large a scale is going to take serious production and economic changes.”

The two laid there for a moment longer, neither wanting to break the serene moment before the ensuing storm but each knew that it had to be done. With much hesitation Celestia made a move to get up but was stopped by Chrysalis. She gave a half lidded look to her love and kissed the mare deeply. Their tongues danced with one another until Celestia took control and rolled on top of Chrysalis. The changeling had a deep green blush on her face and looked to the alicorn with a longing gaze. Celestia stared hungrily into her mare friend's eyes and began to kiss and nibble at her neck. Chrysalis let out small moans of pleasure while the princess slowly made her way down the changelings torso.

Tia moved at an agonizing pace and Chryssi could feel herself start to drip with anticipation. The only reason she wasn't forcing the other mare's head downwards was she knew the wait would be worth it. Celestia placed her last kiss above the changelings vulva and breathed in her loves scent. It was... intoxicating could barely describe it. It nearly drove the princess to dive into her prize but she had more self control than that. She let out a long breath onto the other mares sex. She got an adorable whine in response. Thinking they both had enough waiting Celestia took a long slow lick of the Chryssi's folds. The changeling started to pant and gasp as the licks got more and more frequent.

Tia moved a hoof down to herself and started to rub gentle circles. She was already soaked with anticipation at what she had planned. The alicorn angled her tongue in such a way as to barely graze Chryssi's clit with each stroke. This served to drive the changeling absolutely mad, it was only a short time before she was literally begging for release. “By the gods please! Please just do it!”

Celestia stopped her ministrations and instead moved a hoof to play with her mare. “Hm, what was that? Do what?”

“Please let me cum!” Chrysalis said with bated breath as the hoof on her sex was keeping her just on the edge. Celestia stopped her teasing and laid on her back with her legs wide open. Chrysalis wasted no time in getting in position on top with her sex dripping onto Celestia in anticipation. When she started to vigorously attack her lovers clit she felt her mare returning the favor. As sweet liquids began to fill her mouth and cover her muzzle Chryssi was sure her partner was feeling as close as she was. The changeling suddenly started to gently suck on her loves clit while making gentle passes with her tongue. She could feel Celestia moan into her sex and reciprocate. The world was becoming hazy as each approached climax. Their movements became frantic and desperate until finally the pair was lost in the throes of an intense orgasm. Each screamed and wrapped their thighs around the others head. Trying desperately to bring their partner as close as possible. By the time they had finished each was covered in their mare friend's fluids.

Chrysalis moved to get up onto the bed and Celestia took a moment to look at its small build before simply laying on top of her lover. “Promise you'll help me through this mess love bug?”

“You wouldn't be able to get rid of me if you tried sun butt.”

Author's Note

What up people how everything goin? So what does everyone think of the direction I'm taking with this story? Personally I wanted to create some real conflict for the characters to deal with and overcome so war was obviously the first thing that popped up in my head. Also my first time writing a lesbian sex scene. I don't think it was too bad but no doubt there's room for improvement. With other stories I had some experience with stuff like that so they were pretty easy but I have never had nor actually seen lesbian sex so I was just winging it I guess? Also there's gonna be like two maybe three more chapters before I leave for vacation back to the states. During my three weeks there I won't be writing so this is a forewarning. Anyway hope everyone has a good day/night. Thanks for reading.
