It was another day for war. Frisk got up, and do the usual stuff when suddenly the former leader came up to her again.

'Frisk, this is your time.' He said.

'What's time? The day we win?' She thought.

'Today, we might win right here. I have a plan for you.'

Frisk muttered to herself, 'Please don't make me kill her...'

'I want you to kill their leader, princess Celestia.' The man had high hopes for her.

'Oh, you have to be kidding me!' Frisk thought. She sighed and replied, 'Alright, if I can kill her, with their leader being gone, the ponies will surrender. Then, we'll win.'

'Exactly. This is your chance to win for us. As long their leader is killed, they won't have someone to guide them. Soon enough, they will fall.' The man ordered. 'You're going on your mission during the afternoon, good luck.'

Frisk sighed again. She knew she had taken this argument way too far.

'If I kill her... Twilight will hate me forever, and we will only get even further away. Oh, why was I so stupid?'

After a morning meal, the six sat down and talked.

'You're going up against the princess?' Stacy asked.

'Yeah, I didn't want to, but I'll probably get killed... And if I was going to actually kill her, which I am surely NOT doing... what do I get out of this? I know this guy will betray me and take the power for himself. And then, he'll kill me.' Frisk said sadly.

'Maybe you should try to negotiate with her?' Joseph suggested.

'I don't know... Would she forgive me?'

'You never know unless you try,' Mark told her. 'Don't think you are actually going to kill her. Think of it as you are just... Having a normal talk or something.'

'Frisk, stand strong. If she forgives you, even if you do die or just get imprisoned if lucky, she'll tell your friend. Maybe she'll have a change of heart.' Jessica comforted her.

Frisk smiled. 'Thanks, everyone. I hope my mission goes well in my way.'

'Be brave, you can change the fate of both worlds... Forever.' Dan said.

The time has finally come. Frisk stormed in what's left of the castle in Canterlot, hoping to find Celestia.

'You guys stay here, I'm taking on the princess myself.' She told her fellow army members.

'Yes, captain!' They all said in unison.

It took a while to find Celestia. She wasn't in the throne room, and Frisk kept checking rooms one by one to see where she is. At last, she found her own room, and she knew she was right: The princess is right there.

'Princess Celestia,' Frisk called out to her. Celestia was shocked to death.

'No! Please don't hurt me! Oh Frisk, please have mercy!' She cried.

Although Frisk didn't mean to, she took out her gun in case someone was watching. 'I understand, but they forced me to.'

'Please... We are already in the disadvantage ever since the war started, the humans are just unstoppable. You were one of us once. Please save us,' Celestia was shedding a few tears.

Frisk smiled and dropped her weapon. 'I'm not here to kill you. You need to calm down.'

'Wh-What?'

'Don't tell anypony. I never wanted to help the humans in the first place. If it weren't for Twilight and me, I wouldn't have betrayed you. But, honestly. Through the years that this war raged on, I knew I was wrong. I shouldn't have been standing for the humans. And now... I am leading them, how can I betray them, though?' Frisk explained.

'Frisk Dreemur... I'm not the one leading the ponies right now.' Celestia said.

'Wait, you're not the leader?' Frisk was surprised.

'No, I gave the power to Twilight Sparkle. Your old friend.'

Suddenly, the memories are flooding into Frisk's mind. The once close pair of friends... Have been separated for so long...

'The adventures we had together... It was all a fun ride.'

'I'm glad I met you.'

'Thanks, Frisk, I'm glad you are always there for me.'

'I promise you, I will always be your best friend.'

Just even thinking about all the adventures she had with Twilight in the past years, it was enough to make her cry streams of tears.

'(Sobs) I'm so sorry Celestia... Forgive my betrayal, you can kill me, and end it here.' She demanded.

'There's still time to do what's right.' The princess comforted. 'Do you want me to spread your words to her?'

'That... (sniffs) That would be perfect. Tell Twilight, I am sorry and... I miss her.' Frisk's face was turning red.

As soon she said that the humans broke in. They were surprised she didn't kill the princess yet.

' Frisk!? What are you doing!?' One of the soldiers said.

'No... You guys won't kill her... You guys are stupid to do such a thing!' Frisk said.

A loud voice boomed from behind. 'She's right! Listen to her!' It was Mark and Jessica.

The humans heard literally nothing and had to fight back. Not long after they started, they tied the three up and dragged them back for their punishment.

'Celestia! Please promise me you will tell her my feelings! You have to!' Frisk was struggling to say that.

The soldiers got angry. 'Shut your mouth, traitor!' One said, shooting the princess. Luckily, she escaped.

'No! Don't do this!' Jessica cried in fear.

'You soulless men! We will make you all pay, you will see!' Mark said furiously.

Looking from the other side of the hallway, someone was shedding a tear as well.

'What have I done?' He thought. It was Nathan. 'Oh Frisk, I am sorry to hear your feelings... I think you need some help.' He said, running away.


Author's Note

Chapter 4 references: There are two:

1.When Frisk said that she didn't want to kill Celestia, the sentence was exactly the same as the one used in a viral animation video on youtube, Animator vs Animation 4. Watch when the stick figure is trapped by the animator in the program and see what the animator said to him.
2.When the trio was taken away because of betrayal, the scene was about the same as the one in the popular movie, Avatar. Watch when Jake was caught by the humans for betrayal and what happened to his partners.
