Forced Reboot

1 month later

Luna had been crafting a plan on how to bring down chrysalis in her current state, it wasn't going to be pretty... The only plan that she had proposed with a fighting chance was for the alicorns harness our anger and rage and become entities like that of Nightmare Moon, for me and luna that wasn't much of a stretch, but for Twilight, Cadence, and Celestia...not so much...they all were....too...soft too nice and overly compassionate to do that, twilight had a crazy side but even as extreme as that could go, I highly doubted her Ocd would much.

In the following days I kept letting my mind wander to the drawing board for horrifically destructive guns and cannons...It just felt good to imagine the horrific ways I could send this crazy insect off with a gun powerful enough to punch a hole through mars. I was glad that Celestia hadn't decided to try and read my thoughts or dreams, She would probably feint from the seemingly unending number of changelings being ripped apart in disturbingly similar ways to the bodies of the lab incident, honestly I suprised myself at how well I was handling my emotions at the moment.

Within a week I began to see battle plans begining to proliferate on the walls of the little house, none of which were very good, all of them were mostly dumb plans to look heroic while being blown to tiny pieces. I was drafting my own plan as well...but as plans go, as soon as your feet touch battlefield the plan gets thrown out the window and burned and one is forced to improvise. I looked to canterlot to see that it looked more like an alien tumor than a city, and I could also faintly see a hazy bubble surrounding it...most likely a shield.

1 more week later

"Nova? Thou hath spoken of a plan in the making?"

"Yes... Although im unsure of whether it will succeed...."

"Nova...tis at this time that success is near out of grasp....we shall be fufilled even if we shall die in the attempt"

"In that case, Ill give you a summary....So, you may be familliar with several massive shore cannons from nefore your banishment? learned about them in an old book from the archives, and decided to remember them in case things went south.

"Yes we are familliar, we had them constructed during a war with the griffon empire...what hath millenia old cannons anything to do with the defeat of the queen of changelings?

" we use them to take out defenses and cripple the army inside, and then we storm the castle and put a bullet in her head....what....dont look at mw like that...everyone else's plans involved going in guns blasing to die a heroic death! At least i have some kind of method of even having a chance...if we add on your nightmare moon plan it could work..."

"Yes...but how will such massive weapons ne hauled and aimed? They doth weigh nary the same as a warship."

"I was planning on mounting them on a barge and firing them from the sea to the east of equestria, and ark shells inland to bomb the crap out of the shield."

"Tis a valid plan...but how doth thou know if it will survive firing a shot after one and a half millenia hath passed?"

"I don't, we're kinda screwed anyway so what difference does it make that we die in the attempt or get captured and die slow painful deaths in a cage....or worse"

"Thy present a valid point...though we must ask that we are not near the weapons as they are fired."

Next day.

"Nova! I have a suprise for you!" celestia climbed up into the loftthat I decided to begin inhabiting and chucked a huge manilla folder onto my face.

"WHUMP!....ARGH...FUCK.., my face....ow....why the fuck did you just chuck this at me?"

"It's all of the paperwork regarding Your and Lulu's marrige!"

"Whutnow?...Neither of us have even proposed....much less even asked!? By the way, how in the fuck it this more important than the insect invasion over there!?" I pointed in the general direction of canterlot..

"Oh....right...you have different customs, It's far more fluid here, and Luna asked me to make it so, sooo yeah...the official cermony will happen after we retake canterlot...."

"Kaaaayyy?, whatever...just as long as it isn't super formal bullshit...ya know what, lets just do this as soon as we end this, do the ceremony covered in blood and standing in entrails! Because fuck tradition."

"Hmmm, luna always was a warrior princess before her banishment, maybe thats another reason she chose you...you lack the mindset of many ponies nowadays ....she might like it..Ill go tell her!"
2 minutes later

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!.....THUD!...WE KNEW YOU WOULD NOT DISSAPOINT!"
I found myself tackled to the ground by a very extatic Luna.

"AT LONG LAST!!!"

"WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!....Luna....Chill out ...."

"We are sorry Nova...but we are happy that thee also detest modern formalities..."

"So you liked my idea with the whole being wed covered in the blood of our enemies?"

"Such a perfect thing hath been impossible for millenia...we Adore the idea! As we do thyself....we are sorry for the haste in making us officially married...but we could not wait any longer....we are sorry if thy should dissagree" she looked noticably more distraught at this.

"Its no biggie...just try to at least tell me before going all gung ho on something? Ok? "

"We shall try our best to abide by that....but we promise nothing!"

"Close enough....I guess"

Battle plans by Nova And Luna, Transcribed By a very unhappy Twilight Sparkle

Phase 0.5, any alicorns capable of becoming entities similar to nightmare moon, do so before the plan begins.

phase 1: long range bombardment with magic diffusing and high explosive shells....plus whatever Nova comes up with

Phase 2, long range teleport to 5 megahooves above the castle and glide into the city (Note: if there is an absorbtion field gliding is the best bet to get in safely)

Phase 3, fight her all at once and keep fighting until evacuation is mandatory

Phase 4, "nuke the crap out of Chrysalis" whatever that means...hopefully it is powerful.

Phase 5, begin cleanup and re inhabit canterlot.

"Nova, What does Nuke the crap out if Chrysalis mean?" i heard twilight ask as she read back through the plan.

"It means that I will cause the single largest non magic explosion this planet has ever or probably will ever see...although I can't gaurantee that the city will still be attached to the mountain...so if you can reverse and or free as many ponies as possible before I do it.

"Don't be silly, I fought the most powerful being on the planet! The explosions from that were probably the largest possible. I doubt you can top that."

"Alright...dont believe me? I bet you 100 bits that Ill debunk your little theory"

"The odds are in my favor...so...Deal, I expect payment upon detonation"

"Dont get too cocky now..."

"I dont even have one....I just doubt your abilities...by the way, what should I buy with the 100 bits I win..." She giggled a bit...but I had an ace...and somewhere to get uranium ore.

"Well...I will see you later then"

"I hate to break it to you Nova...but I think you're going to be paying up...Twilight usually never gets scientific facts wrong" celestia patted me on the back before walking off with Twilight.

"Doth thou actually have a plan to enact such destruction ?

"Yes...although Im gonna need to do some tests."

"We shall discuss this farther in my chambers...we may be under scrutiny"

"Agreed"

Outside luna's room.

Inside the room Luna scanned several times and placed some kind of spell on the room...because I wasn't great at identifying non combat spells I had only my guesses as to what it was.

"Doth thou wish to share how thee shalt create such an explosion?

"Pour as much plasma as is necessary into a shield and collapse it in on itself, then let it go, the expanding plasma and superheated air will cause a massive explosion and the shockwave will do the rest"

"Well thanks for the tip," I saw a flicker of green flame and luna vanished only to be replaced by Chrysalis maniacally laughing as she stared down at me.

" how long..."

"Oh...how long I was disguised as your precious little luna and friends?...about 2 days... Oh...your little angry face is adorable...I can feel the anger and sadness seeping from it...you know...your love for luna is odd, burning very strong but subtle, delicious all the same, but now I have another alicorn to eat...oh...you dont like that do you...how sad...well tata! She let a flash of magic flyand dissapeared

I felt my insides burn with rage...i was sick of this bitch ruining everything, Nothing mattered anymore, she just needed to die a horrible death. I felt my wings snap open and begin to siphon off heat, the runes on my horns began to turn from a sicly blood red to a deep black, magic poured into it....this was different... Rather than the usual heat and electrical feel of my normal magic I felt only smooth cold energy culminating, I peeked at my horns, they were enveloped by what Twilight described to me as dark magic, perfect. I looked at myself, now my coat was an onyx black and my hair was a crackling mass of purple plasma and lightning, my eyes had taken on a blood red hue and my horns were now longer and sharp enough to gut a dragon.

"CHRYSALIS!!!!"

As soon as I let my anger be known to the whole of equestria with a blood curdling roar of anger I teleported outside and shot off like a rocket towards canterlot.
