The Love of an Apple
Finale Part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI jumped onto the airship, Chrysalis frowned “Why couldn’t I go down there?”
I scowled “Consider it partial punishment for using mind magic!” She lowered her head and trotted backwards, I nodded to Applejack and Cara as they took the sleeping Twilight into her room
I heard ponies scream “Nightmare Moon!” The changelings looked at me, I nodded and the changelings slapped them. Luna landed holding her unconscious sister.
I frowned “We’ll discuss this with her once she wakes up, in the meantime I have to check on Twilight.”
Luna nodded “I agree, I will join you once I make sure my sister stays put.” I trotted out of the room, I felt the ship lurch. I looked outside to see the Storm King’s ruined Castle growing smaller in the distance.
I turned around and trotted to Twilight’s room, Twilight was crying in centre of the room. Chrysalis was wrapped around her in a hug “It’s not your fault.”
Twilight wailed “I killed him!”
Chrysalis shook her head “You made a mistake under extreme pressure, many have done much worse, I tried to take over Equestria and enslave all ponies twice, Discord tried to turn Equestria into the chaos capital of the world and sided with Tirek to take over Equestria, Luna tried to cause eternal night. What you did was not your fault, you didn’t want to do it and your hoof was forced by another who has groomed you into the perfect weapon, one who who will never oppose her or question her.”
Twilight shouted “How could you know that?!”
Chrysalis frowned “I was watching you closely all the time you were in Canterlot but I forgot about you after you were sent to Ponyville, I thought you were kicked out of her life, also after Discord I called my spies back to my hive and then turned my attention to Cadence. I saw you feed off her every word, you adored her like she was the goddess of all creation.”
Twilight turned to us quietly “That’s not true is it?”
Applejack frowned “Ah’m not sure about adoring her but you cared about so much that she was almost like a second mother to you.”
Luna frowned as she trotted in “Celestia told me several times you adored her too and she was trying to get you to break off from her.” Twilight shuddered at Luna’s words.
Chrysalis frowned at the Moon Princess “Then why did she make us of her here?”
Luna sighed “She has never been in very good control of Daybreak, it’s why I could face Sombra while she could not, she lost control of herself due to the overwhelming might of the sun.”
Chrysalis frowned “Well we must have words with her.”
Luna frowned “Only you, Starsong and I will be in in there, Cara and Applejack are not quite in the position to handle what needs to be handle by us princesses and Twilight is emotionally compromised.”
Applejack scowled but Cara frowned “She’s right this is Princess business and no just because Chrysalis married Starsong it would make me a princess it would be really bad if that were the case because then Equestria would have another one thousand princesses and princesses.” Applejack sighed as she realised the implications.
Luna’s horn glowed, I blinked as Chrysalis, Luna and I appeared in the room. I growled “You give us some warning first next time you decide to teleport us, I still get dizzy when I do my singular daily teleport!”
Luna frowned “Right now how are we going to wake my sister.”
I turned around and blinked as I saw a massive gong sitting next to me where Chrysalis was. I slammed my hoof into it, Celestia jumped her horn glowing “Are we under attack?!”
I helped my wife who was still dizzy from me banging her so hard. Luna frowned “We need to discuss some thing with you.”
Celestia blinked “What?”
Luna sighed “There was a reason you shouldn’t use Daybreak.”
Celestia cried out “I just wanted to support you!”
Chrysalis frowned “Well trying to kill my wife and traumatising Twilight is not a good way to do that.”
Celestia’s eyes widened in shock, Luna nodded “You made Twilight kill the Storm King and after Starsong got on your case about it you resorted to violence.”
Celestia tried to leave “I need to apologise.”
I held her back with a hoof “No, she will accept your apology and say no harm done. She needs some time to let our words sink in before your reconciliation, in the meantime I need to discuss with you something other than your misconduct today.”
Luna scowled “She needs to face punishment.”
I told Luna “She will keep away from Twilight from now on, that is punishment enough, you two will be separated until Twilight can function without you, you are only allowed in each other’s presence during meetings and other important functions.”
Chrysalis nodded “That is a fitting punishment.” She smiled “I’ll go check on Twilight, she needs my support.” I nodded.
Celestia cried “Anything but that.”
Luna nodded “We are in agreement sister, it must be done. She is suffocating under your wings.”
I frowned “Anyway I wish to implement a guard as you and Luna have.”
Luna asked “Who do you wish to be captain of your guard ?”
I smiled “Tempest.”
Luna shouted “Why her, she is our enemy?!”
Celestia who said her near-perfect mask on again asked “Agreed sister, it is an odd choice, I would like an explanation.”
I said “Simple, she is loyal to her leader and a powerful unicorn, I wish to have her join us as she is a powerful asset to have on side and I know just how to convince her.”
Luna frowned “Fine, but if she messes up it is on your head!” I nodded to the Moon Princess and smiled all was going well for once.
