Twilight ran out of the castle and made her way towards the Everfree Forest. She could hear her friends shouts, helping her to run faster.

Spike came into view. He struggled, trying to fight off a changeling. Twilight's memories with Spike flowed into her mind. She took action, she was determined to not loose him. Her friends were already being dragged away.

Twilight stared at the changeling that was fighting him and watched as it flew into the air with Spike in its hooves.

Twilight shot a blast of magic at the changeling, making it turn back and try an attack.

"Leave him alone!" Twilight yelled.

"Twilight!" Spike exclaimed, falling from the Changeling's grasp. Seeing him drop, Twilight flew after him.

Spike shut his eyes before he was about to hit the ground, but felt himself land on something softer.

"I got you, Spike!"

The changeling, however, had managed to close the distance in that time and flew into Twilight, causing her to loose her grip on Spike and letting him fall once more.

The impact threw Twilight in the other direction as Spike was carried away.

Twilight could hear Spike calling her name as he was taken away.

---Flashback---

Spike sat in his bed crying, rousing Twilight from her sleep and bringing her to his side.

"What's wrong, Spike?" she asked, patting his head.

"I..." Spike sniffed. "I had a bad dream..."

Twilight gave him a hug. "Would you like to come sleep with me?"

Spike nodded and climbed into the bed with her.

Twilight held Spike close.

"I was falling..."

"Hmm?"

"In my dream..." Twilight wiped the tears out of his eyes. "I was falling, and you tried to save me... but when I hit the ground... you... I..." Spike couldn't finish his sentence.

Twilight hushed Spike. "It was just a dream, I will never let that happen to you, Spike. Whenever you fall, I will catch you." Twilight kissed his forehead. "Always."

Spike smiled. "Thanks... Mommy..."

That word struck Twilight's heart. Mommy...

"I love you."

Twilight smiled at Spike. "I love you too."

Twilight regained herself. The night when Spike called her "mommy" was the most touching night in her life. She wasn't going to lose him. She flew after the changeling to keep her promise.

Twilight tried her best to be careful to not be spotted by the changeling as she followed them both.

Eventually, the changeling went into its hive, bringing Spike along with him.

She stared at the hive, its entrances opening and closing. She made her way into the first opening she saw and tried to find a way to her friends.

She looked all over the place, surprised that none of the changelings had come for her. She could hear a familiar sound from the room behind her and quickly went to investigate the noise.

Opening the door revealed a large hall, decorated in various green pods. She appeared to be on a balcony above the floor far below her.

She could see her friends bound inside of pods, not moving at all. A short distance from them, Cadence was yelling something about letting her family go.

As she yelled, Chrysalis walked forward in front of Cadence's face, saying she would never see them again and shot a blast of magic at her, weakening her but not hurting her badly.

Twilight stepped back. She was going to need help, but she needed to act fast... She decided to go to the Crystal Empire for help, she knew that there was a pony there who was always wanting to help if something was wrong.

Twilight flew toward the Crystal Castle. She landed in the front, finding Flash Sentry standing at the door.

"Your Highness." he bowed.

"Flash, I told you that you didn't have to call me that." Twilight blushed. "Just Twilight is fine. But I'm not here to discuss that right now. I need your help."

Flash got up from bowing. "What is it?”

"First, tell me how we met."

Flash looked at her confused, but the look in her eye gave him the impression that he should answer.

"You bumped into me, on one of your first few days in the Crystal Empire as a Princess."

Twilight looked around. "It isn't safe to talk here," she whispered.

With that, She flew off into the sky, a very confused Flash trailing behind her.

"What's going on?" Flash asked.

"The changelings are back, and I need your help. They've taken Cadence and my friends."

Flash give a slightly panicked look, "I suppose that means that the pony here isn't really Cadence..."

Twilight caught Flash up with what was going on.

"I have a plan, are you in?" Twilight asked.

Flash gave her a smile before flying off the cloud and back to the changeling kingdom with Twilight.

Twilight stared at her friends. Flash stood next to her. Cadence looked even weaker, she was hardly able to stand.

"We have to do something, and fast," Twilight said. "I'm not sure how much longer Cadence will be able to go."

Flash nodded his head. "What's the plan?" he asked.

Before Twilight could answer, she heard a crack in the floor. The combined weight of the two of them apparently too much for the balcony, leaving them falling through the air. They hit the ground hard, Twilight landing on her wing. Flash tried to grab her in time to get her out of there but wasn't fast enough. He quickly hid in the shadows to avoid getting caught.

"Twilight!" her friends called out, concerned for her.

Chrysalis turned to her and gave out a chuckle.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" she said.

Twilight glared at Chrysalis.

"Where are my brother and Flurry?" she uttered.

Chrysalis gave out a soft chuckle. "Somewhere you and Cadence will never find them."

Chrysalis fired her horn. Twilight tried to fly away in time, but her wings only gave out pain. Twilight ran, but the blast hit her and threw her toward her friends.

"Twilight!" Pinkie yelled.

Twilight let out a groan of pain, from both the impact and the fall.

Chrysalis walked up to Twilight, her horn lighting up.

"Once I get rid of you and your friends, nothing will be able to defeat me! I will be unstoppable!"

She promptly cast her spell on her, making Twilight grunt as she felt the spell take effect on her. She struggled to fight it but slowly began to succumb to its power.

"Twilight..." Cadence whispered. She tried to reach out her hoof to Twilight, grabbing it. Twilight stared at her sister's eyes. "Don't give up on us..."

Twilight stared at her sister for another moment, then looked at her friends. The memories from their adventures together flowed into her mind.

They made it through then, and Twilight knew that they were going to make it through now.

Twilight slowly got up, her legs shaking as the power of the spell weakened her.

Flash landed in front of Twilight to help defend her. Twilight put her hoof on his shoulder.

"No Flash, I need you to get Princess Celestia and Luna." she said.

"I won't leave you," Flash said.

"Go."

"But-"

"Go!" Twilight had to shove Flash to get him to move. He flew as fast as he could out of the room, changelings chasing after him. They grabbed him by the hoof, but he slipped away in time.

Good luck, Flash... Twilight thought.

Twilight felt the impact of another blast from Chrysalis. She managed to jump out of the way before a second one could hit her. The second shot had missed by a fraction of an inch.

She grunted when she landed on the ground, growing dizzy from the repeated hits. She tried to continue fighting the spell.

The pain in her wing had stopped during the conversation with Flash, giving her a way to get her friends out. She soared into the air, trying to help her friends get out of the goop, but Chrysalis grabbed her before she could make an attempt at the rescue.

Chrysalis glared into Twilight's eyes. Her horn ignited like a flame, making the pain in her wing to come back worse than ever.

Twilight screamed out in agony. She felt as if she was being broken in half. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to break free.

Chrysalis just smiled as she watched her scream.
