I look over the scroll in my hands carefully:

Dear Shadow,

You were invited to attend to the royal union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard, at the Canterlot Castle. Please come attend Shadow, we need to also just talk.

Sincerely,

Celestia.

I reread the letter at least four times over before I let out a soft sigh. A few months go by quick in this world. I wondered briefly how they got this address so quickly. It was almost baffling how they were able to track peo-
ponies down.

"Fucking ponies with technology."

Rubbing one eye, I set the letter down mildly irritated. Zecora walked in the room shortly after.

"What's wrong my dear?" She asked.

I sighed. "I don't know if I should go to this royal wedding happening. Princess Celestia is requesting my presence, but I sense it could have something to do with my previous action of being isolated."

"It does seem like she just wants to see you. I don't see any harm in that. I can take care of the hut while you're gone." She said.

I smile softly. "Thanks Zecora. It'll be quick, I promise."

"Don't make a promise you can't always keep my dear."

"Words a wise zebra mare would say." I said as she cracked a smile herself.

I check my pocket dimension to make sure I had everything before starting up my horn. It took a few moments before it locked on its target flashing me away.

I opened my eyes and was quite puzzled to find myself in a sea of light blue... until I started to fall.

I looked down to see that I was going to greet an enormous rosy red sphere shield around the entire city of Canterlot. "FUCKfuckfuckfuck-" I had to think quick so I lit up my horn again as briefly black sparks erupt from it teleporting me again.

I sigh in relief, but it was short lived when I realized that it only got me pass the shield continuing my long fall.

"SSSSSHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIITTTT!"

My horn didn't respond to my call as I realized I emptied a lot of magic into my last spell. I closed my eyes accepting the fall only to be caught by an invisible force. Surprised, I open my eyes to be greeted by Princess Luna, Twilight, and her friends. All of them looked at me in concern.

"What in tarnation? Were you trying to kill yourself!?" Applejack yelled.

I brushed off her commit as I realized Luna was the one to save me from my fall. "It's not my fault that my magic sent me above that force field thing." I said.

Applejack winced at my answer. "Gee, I didn't realize your magic did that." She said apologetically.

"Yeah, well, it's not the first time it has acted up." I said as Luna set me down from her magical grip.

"Shadow.....we are all sorry for how we reacted a few months ago. We shouldn't have done the things we did to a fellow soldier of our army and dearest friend." Luna said. The girls also agreed with her.

"It's fine. I have forgiven all of you already," I smiled. "Besides, that's what my life was designed for," I said to my self mostly. When the girls were about to question my choice of words, I changed the subjects. "Would you mind taking me to Celestia's chamber? She requested for my presence through her letter."

"Ah, yes of course. Follow me. Twilight Sparkle, you and your friends prepare for the wedding." Luna said.

Twilight immediately focuses on Luna. "Yes, I can't wait to talk to my brother again." Twilight said with a tinge of excitement before hurrying down the halls of the castle.

I brought my attention back to Luna before we left to the throne room.

Once I put a single hoof in the throne room, I was met with several guards pointing spears directly in front of my face. I would have teached them a few new ways on to a highway of pain and misery myself, but Luna scold the 'recruits' from doing that again to her friend.

I respectfully walked pass the guards to meet the pony that I came to see. Celestia sat on her throne seat while she smiled warmly at me, but I could tell her smile was a bit tense than usual.

"It's nice to meet you again Celestia. Is something the matter? You seem a bit tense." I asked.

"Always nice to meet you too Shadow, but I do have some news for you. A new threat has been made recently toward Canterlot." Celestia said.

I raise an eyebrow in confusion. "I'm sure your Royal Guard is strong enough to face a threat like that. It has worked in the past." I said bluntly.

"Not this threat I fear," Celestia said with a nonchalant attitude. "Whoever made the threat has not been seen since. That's why I worry something might try to interfere with the wedding planner today. It could possibly be the demons."

I stiffened at the word. "That's a long step to assume, but I understand your fear. However, you don't need me in order to get the same result."

"Shadow, Twilight Sparkle and her friends begged for us to get you to do such a high honor. It's not everyday that a traveller like yourself gets a relative break from things. And most likely this whole thing might simply not happen." Luna said with a smile.

I stayed quiet for a while thinking of my options and possible outcomes. "Alright, I'll take you up on the offer. Just let me get in uniform and I'll keep an eye on things." I said finally.

Celestia and Luna seem to relax a degree at this. "Thank you Shadow." Celestia said with a slight smile of her own.

I nod my head in respect to them both. "It's no trouble, princesses." I said as I escorted myself out from the throne room.

I walked around the Canterlot Castle staring and analysing everything I could until I started to grow bored. Man, I absolutely hate getting bored.

"Damn everything unholy. This is so-"

The sounds of conversation hit my thoughts short. I sensed a type of magic being used..... A powerful spell too. So I sneaked soundly like a ninja to the thin wall of the room managing to find a crack still in the very wall.

What I saw was an pink alicorn mare with a longish mane in the colors of blue, blue-green, and faded yellow. She dressed in royalty clothing. The other was a male white unicorn with a blue mane, aqua highlights. He stood only an inch shorter than the pink alicorn, but that didn't stop the scene from looking weird and newish to me.

I grew up in a relatively male dominant world. Although, thanks to a few wars and arguments that perception of thinking at became relatively equal. Well.... for the most part. In this world, pony mares are physically more capable than the males are usually. I'm not complaining over here, but some things just never cease my 'justice' side from spilling sexist blood.

Anyway, I began focusing on the conversation:

"I thought I made it perfectly clear I didn't want you to wear that?" the pink alicorn said In a snappy tone.

"This was my favorite uncle's," The white unicorn said promptly pointing to his attire of an uniform he wore.

"And?"

"And I think I should wear it." the white unicorn said.

"Are you disagreeing with me?"

He narrowed his eyes at her. "I guess I am-" I stared at the scene confused while he clutched his forehead looking to be in a lot of agony.

She walked up to him. "Oh dear, are you getting another one of your headaches?" she asked rhetorically.

Her horn lit up in a green aura making contact with his forehead. The strong presence of powerful magic hit my senses surprising me.

"This is really weird. Alicorn magic is not supposed to be like this."

The question is then what is she really? I decided to walk away not paying attention to the loud clopping of hoof steps on the other side.

About three days pass during my stay. I regularly visit my wife, in the Everfree, and attended the preparations being put into the wedding. However, when Mi Amore Cadenza, the pink alicorn, came by to see how things were looking I would study her. By my prior calculations, I knew something didn't seem right with the magic she oozed out. Nopony else seem to notice this though except me, so I kept it to myself.

Today was the day we were doing the practice version of the wedding. Everything seem to be going right according to the plan until....

Twilight burst into the room gaining everyone's attention. "I'm not going to stand next to her, and neither should you!" she said.

Shining Armor, Twilight's brother and the white unicorn, didn't seem to get her behavior turning to Cadenza. "I'm sorry I-, I don't know why she's acting like this." Shining apologized.

Cadenza glared at Twilight. "Maybe we should ignore her." Cadenza said.

"You have to listen to me!"

"*sigh* Twilight, what are you doing now?"

"I've got something to say," Twilight said with a stride of confidence. She walked up toward Cadenza and Shining Armor pointing a hoof at the pink alicorn. "She's evil!"

Shining seem to take it as a death threat moving in front of Cadenza to protect her. She looked just as shocked while the other girls gasped. I however could tell that seemed very fitting for the alicorn, yet I kept my muzzle shut.

"She been horrible to my friends," Twilight teleports behind Cadenza backing her into a corner. "She obviously done something to her brides' maids. And if that were enough, I saw her put a spell on my brother that made his eyes all-" she did the motion of circling eyes.

Twilight cornered her as I could feel the smirk on her muzzle from where I stood. I facepalm in the middle of the madness going unnoticed. And as expected, Cadenza broke down in tears.

"Why are you doing this to me?" She said running out to the opened doorway.

"Because your evil!" Twilight teleports at the doorway. "Evil! And if I don't stop you, you'll ruin my brother's life!"

The girls mouths were agape in disbelief at Twilight's actions. Twilight turned around proud of herself until she stumbled into Shining Armor.

"You want to known the reason my eyes went all- *did the motion she did earlier*. Because ever since I had to start doing my protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. Cadence hasn't been casting spells on me, she's been using her magic to heal me." Shining corrected.

Twilight didn't even get a chance to defend herself when he continued. "And she decided to replace her bride's maids because she found out the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding was so they could meet Canterlot royalty. And if she hasn't been on her best behavior with your friends is because of me being so busy she as been making all the decisions on the wedding!"

"I- I was just trying to-"

"She's completely stressed out because it's really important to her that our wedding day to be perfect!" Shining exclaimed. "Something that wasn't important to you."

He held his head in agony for a moment as Twilight reached a nervous hand up to him. All he did was glare at her.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and comfort my bride." Shining said walking away. "And you can forget being my best mare.... In fact, if I were you I wouldn't even show at the wedding at all."

The girls and even Celestia seem to believe his statements which in all fairness explained all of the weird things going on.... All except for one...

"Shadow," Twilight said out of desperation. "You are the most observant one for evil creatures. I know she's evil! Isn't she?"

Everypony in the room paused for my answer. "No, she has never been acting evil at all, Twilight. I didn't see anything strange so far." I had seen out of the corner of my eyes I was being watched by something.

Twilight's heart sank at my words as the rest glared at her even more. "You have a lot to think about." Celestia said sternly before we all left Twilight in her sorrow.

I felt my own heart ache at my own actions, but whatever was going on knew I would notice the disruptions in magic. I would have to play along for now to put the final blow in.

I had separated from the rest of the group a few hours ago after the whole incident happened. And I just so happened I sensed transformation magic again. Only this time it was weaker.

I snooped around until I saw a stallion butler in the corner dusting a pot off. Nopony else was in the hallway, so I knew right away at he was the source.

"Excuse me, but why have you been following me for the past few hours?" I asked as casually as possible.

This seem to scare the stallion as he whipped his head back toward me. "I'm sorry sir, but I have no idea what you are talking about." he said.

"Oh really?" I said grabbing him by the throat. My hand glowed in their magic as I forced his transformation magic to the surface. He is enveloped in a green fire briefly before he turns into this anthro insectoid creature.

"Great more bipedal anima- Well, this guy is technically one ugly walking bug."

I grimaced slightly slamming him into the wall. "Alright fruit fly, you are going to tell me exactly why you have been following me for. And if you don't," I allowed a sinister smirk to form. "Well, let's just say that you'll blow your cover and a few limbs."

"I have nothing to say to the psycho unicorn." he said.

My blood boiled in rage as my left hand formed with clawlike fingers stabbing perfectly into several major nerve ends. He screamed in pain, but his yelling and kicking was for nothing because I had put a sound barrier over him and I before hand.

"Wrong answer, asshole. Now, let's start again, who got you in."

The insect ponylike creature glares at me. "I'll neVEr!" he began to say only for me to twist and turn my claws in his soft insides.

"I can do this all day and make it just as painful until your bitter end. It's better to tell me now then later. Because next time I'm asking Princess Cadence." I said.

The insect ponylike creature froze in his struggle at my words. I smirk. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out something is amist. So tell me, is 'Princess Cadence' your leader?"

He stayed silent, but a little persuasion made him sing like a bird. "Y- Yes! She's our queen!!!" He bellowed out.

I paused in my efforts of torture before roughly setting him down in the ground. "Good, and she uses powerful transformation magic I presume. That's how she could tell which soldier is one of her own or not."

My hands and horn lit up as I try using my own morphing powers only for it to fail.

"Damn it, my original powers are not responding."

I then looked back at the insect thing smiling toward him. "Well, if I can't morph right now then I'll just 'borrow' your transformation powers."

With no hesitation, I placed one hand firmly on his horn while the other on the back of his head. My hands lit up once more draining all of his transformation magic. He screamed for several hours nonstop trying to rip my hands from their grip. He didn't stop screaming in agony until all the magic was completely drained. I disguard him as he laid limply on the ground. I test the magic and in a brief black flame I formed into somepony before changing back to my normal self.

"Okay, I got at least five hours worth of transformation magic in storage. That should be enough, but I still need to take care of something first."

I ripped a piece of paper and wrote on it a few words before placing it on the insect's forehead. Instantly, my left hand lit up touching his unconscious body to send it into Princess Cadence's private chambers. I walked off to prepare my next move.

Third Person POV

Shadow could hear the wedding music play. All sorts of ponies were lined up in the rows for them to sit. He, himself, has trouble seeing what was going on since he was on guard duty. To be honest, it was kind of dull even with the extra décor. He yawned lazily listening to the pointless chit chatter of the various nobles.

Then everypony began to settle down in low whispers before Princess Celestia cleared her throat.

"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor," Princess Celestia said. She looked at Shining Amror first. "Do you, Shining Armor accept Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's hoof in marriage?"

"I do." He said almost as if he wasn't there mentally.

Princess Celestia then focus on Cadence. "Do you, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza accept Shining Armor's hoof in marriage?" She asked.

"I do." Cadence said not resisting the faint smug look on her muzzle. The Sun Princess didn't seem to notice though.

"Then, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure and honor to pronounce both of you-"

"STOOOOP!" Twilight yelled abruptly causing Celestia to pause from her speech.

"Why did she have to ruin my special day?" Cadence complained.

"Because, it's not your special day," Another voice, the same as Cadence's voice, proclaimed. "It's mine!"

Another Cadence, this one much more dirtier and covered in bruises than her counterpart. The dirty Cadence stepped toward the alter. Everypony in the pews gasped in shock.

"What? How did you escape my bride's maids!" The clean Cadence demand.

"Oh, with a bouquet of flowers." the dirty Cadence said nonchalantly.

"Hm, clever, but your still too late." The clean one said.

"Ah don't understand, how can there be two of them?" Applejack asked rhetorically.

"She's a changling. She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them." The dirty Cadence explained.

The clean one seem to have enough of the other Cadence as a massive pillar of green flame envelopes her body.

Her pink wings change into light green webbed ones. Her limbs turn into dark green hands and hooves with holes in them. The used to be pink alicorn's body turns dark green giving her an amazing hour glass body. The somewhat long pink horn turning into a sickening dark green, twisting and turning upwards. Her bust size was also also quite a feat measuring up to being a rival slightly passed Celestia's rack. Her emerald dragonlike eyes shining brightly with evil intentions behind them. She laughed sinisterly at the shocked audience.

"Right you are, Princess," the changing gloats. "And as Queen of the Changlings it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I have ever encountered. My fellow changlings will be able to devour so much of it and we'll be able to gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!"

"They'll never get the chance. Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us." Cadence said.

The changling chuckles. "Indeed that might have been true, but I highly doubt that would be a problem anymore. Isn't that right, dear?"

The changling's horn lights up as Shining Armor's head slowly nods to her command. Shadow looked extremely angry getting ready to draw his sword. Cadence tried to run over to help Shining, but the Queen Changling stopped her in her tracks.

"Don't want to go back to the caves now do you?" She said her twisted horn lighting up. Cadence stood stiff as the Queen Changling walked up to the main front. "Soon, my changling army will break through. First we take Canterlot, and then all of Equestria!"

Things seemed to look gloom as Shadow drew his sword and was about to confront her. "No." Celestia said. "You won't. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foalishly revealed your true self," Simultaneously, Celestia teleported her sword and shield into her hands as she clashes with the Changing Queen's duel swords in a stalemate. "I can protect my subjects from you!"

Suddenly, her fiery aura sparks to life making her weapons and horn look like living flames at her command. The Changling Queen however radiated a green glow as her eyes showed green with power. The two forces collide in battle through the air. Shadow let out an impatient sigh feeling left out.

Landing a series of mild scratches and bruises on the Changling Queen, Princess Celestia decided to keep the attacks on a lower level fearing the safety of her subjects. When it seemed like the results were set in stone for the final blow against Chrysalis, the Changling Queen blurred past the Sun Princess' perception. She used the momentum to pierce her blade into Celestia's stomach. The Princess gasped at the surprise pain and speed. Chrysalis just as quickly retract her blade from the flesh.

"Oh you poor thing, it appears Shining Armor's love for Cadence had made me even stronger than even Celestia herself!" The Changling Queen exclaimed.

The changling walked up to Princess Celestia with blood lust waiting in her gaze. "I think it's time to end this pointless diarchy starting with you!" she said rearing her double swords in an attempt to decapitate the Princess.

Her eyes widen in fear, but the Changling Queen's blades were only met by another blade. This one however was black. In a rush of pure fury, Shadow cried out shoving the Changling Queen several feet away. The crowd seem astonished at the unicorn's skill as well as the Changling Queen. Yet, the Queen shrugged it off getting into a battle position again.

"It appears you have one worthy opponent in the crowd after all. Who are you, stupid stallion?" the Changling Queen asked mildly annoyed.

"My name is Private Shadow Faze of the Royal Guard, changling. Now who are you?" he demanded.

The changling seem to frown at his words. "I see, well, since you manage to push me back I'll give you at least my name. My name is Queen Chrysalis and, as I said before, I am Queen of the Changlings." she said.

"Charmed. Although, I would say coming to take over Equestria is a big mistake," He said.

Chrysalis blured to his side preparing to slice him open, but Shadow manage to lock blades with her speed. "Because I'm the one who will take you down reguardless of your so called strength and power."

Chrysalis grunted in annoyance before jumping back and dodging Shadow's blade. She countered by elbowing him in the stomach stunning him for a few seconds. Chrysalis goes for the kill only for Shadow to recover quickly and side step her grazing her left hip.

She hissed in mild pain wildly swinging her blades in fury. "DIE YOU STUPID STALLION!" the Changling bellowed.

However, Shadow only smirked at her anger getting the upperhand and using all the strength he could muster going for a powerful swing directly in front of her. She instinctively shield herself using her crossed duel blades. But the force of the swing was greater than her posture sending her flying in the back wall making an imprint into it.

She fell to the ground as Shadow approached her. Suddenly though, a loud sound of like glass shattering filled the air. Shadow was midly startled for a moment.

"Shadow?" the familiar voice of Zecora said.

Shadow's eyes widen in surprise as he direct his attention back in front of him. He couldn't believe who he saw on the ground. It was a beaten up Zecora with several injuries on her. Instinctively, Shadow went to tend to his wife walking over to her.

"Oh no, Zecora what are yo-" his sentence was cut short as a dagger was plunged straight into the stallion's throat. The zebra's eyes turn into a dragonlike emerald green. She then completely transformed back into Chrysalis.

"Arrogant fool. You really thought you could have matched my power of deception?" she said.

Shadow couldn't speak back, but grabbed his throat trying to stop the bleeding. Chrysalis completely slit the stallion's throat then as he fell to the ground choking in his own blood.

"SHADOW!" The mane six and Princess Celestia shouted.

Most of the royals and Shadow's friends looked horrified at the Changling Queen's deed. Queen Chrysalis laughed evilly as the changling army she had wrecked havoc on the city below.

"Y-You monster! That was a good friend you just killed." Celestia cried out in anger trying to get up on her feet, but her injuries prevent her from moving too far without the mane six's help.

A wave of changlings burst into the room surrounding the ponies inside capturing them especially the mane six, Princess Celestia, and Princess Cadence.

"Well, it seems like there has been a slight change in plans, Celestia." She hissed lowly.

Celestia just seems infuriated more by her actions. "Struggling won't do you much good in this situation. What I'm going to use you for is a symbol of my power," Chrysalis gets up in her face. "I'll turn you into my little pet before I conquer the pathetic waste of space of Equestria feeding off of their love. Including your love." She crackles another laugh.

"I didn't know there was such a thing that could be so cruel." Twilight said.

Chrysalis' anger spiked as she slapped Twilight. "How dare you talk back to your higher ups! Just for that, you'll be the second to be broken under my reign as well." She said with conviction.

"You only use love as a tool of weakness. The only pony who is pathetic here is you, Chrysalis." Cadence said defiantly.

Queen Chrysalis was prepared to attack her when a black blade pierced outwardly through her skin suddenly causing her to halt her advance. The room's tension seem to build as the blade retracted itself. Chrysalis turned around meeting eye contact with the person that stabbed her, and the result shocked even her. It was her own changling that did the deed.

He seemed to grin. "It appears that my plan worked perfectly.... for the most part." he said.

Everypony else seemed confused until the black flame engulfed his form causing him to morph into Shadow Faze. Chrysalis' eyes widen in more shock. "W-What?! Impossible! I just killed you!" she said.

"You are such a fool, Chrysalis. That was just a decoy, a copy, of me. It doesn't even have all the powers I possess," Shadow said as his horn lit in its black glow causing the copy of him to disappear. "You see, the reason I have been away for so long was because I was trying to find the weakness in your army. Fortunately, I found one just in time before you came to reveal your turn form. I knew you were a fake alicorn from the start."

"Then why didn't you agree with me when I found out!" Twilight demanded.

"Simple Twilight, I needed my substitute to be as real as possible. I needed him to buy me enough time to plan a better strategy against this insect queen." Shadow said nonchalantly.

Queen Chrysalis' expression turned into a scowl. "I'll admit, that was extremely clever for a bastard like yourself to pull off, but it will not happen again." she said getting into battle position again. She glowed in a green aura.

Shadow closed his eyes imagining Apocalypse to be alive in his grip. A black fog rolled off of his blade. She blurs at the unicorn in a frenzy of attacks from all directions, yet Shadow blocked every single thrust she made against him.

"The mind is sharper than the blade, Chrysalis." Shadow had said before in the blink of the eye he was behind the Queen. She turned around for a brief moment only for a large deep gash to suddenly cut through her. She coughs up blood from her mouth as her knees collapsed from underneath their own weight. Her breath was rigid and shallow looking up at the approaching Shadow.

Shadow then crouches to her level glaring daggers like he was examining her very soul. "You know, if I was my old self, I would kill you right here and now. I wouldn't care for the consequences. You hurt my friends and deceived my copy, which could have been me, by turning yourself into my beloved Zecora," Shadow moves his mouth into her left ear. "I have every right to skin you alive and melt your insides." Her eyes widen at his words as her body instinctively shook.

"But, I'm not like Atone," Shadow gets up using his magic to free the mane six, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Celestia. "Therefore, I'll allow Celestia to decide your fate."

Celestia's expression showed little sympathy toward the Changling Queen. A moment passed before she sighed. "Heal her injuries and take the magic she stole from her. She'll be thrown in the dungeon for her crimes. I'll deal with her myself later." Celestia said.

Shadow nods in understanding before two Royal Guard members escort the hand cuffed and severely injured Queen to the infirmary.

"What about the rest of the Changling Army? What will you do with them?" Rainbow Dash asked a bit worried.

Shadow grinned in satisfaction. "Oh, they got the love they wanted, but unfortunately, it was too much for them to handle, so they were thrown far away from here." he answered.

"Well, now that is settled. Twilight, I want you to now plan a real wedding." Celestia said with a soft smile toward her student. She happily nods before her and the mane six hurry off.

Shadow's POV

After the whole wedding invasion incident, Chrysalis was interrogated intensively by the Royal Guards. Nothing so far, but I think they'll get something out eventually. As for the rest of the ponies, they continued the union of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence.

I wasn't too interested in the whole special event, but I did had conversations with the bride and groom. It turns out they never met a more talented unicorn in combat before (other than the Princess'. They are infamous for their combat skills). Anyway, once everything began to die down, Luna landed in the middle of it turning to me. "Did I miss anything?"

I was floored by her question, but answered regardless. "Yes, quite a lot too, but Celestia can fill you in on that later." I said.

Luna nodded before mingling with the party. I however had nopony else really to talk with anymore. I grew increasingly bored staring at the moonlight Luna gave out this particular night. "Curse my easily bored mi-"

"Shadow?" a mare asked.

I turn around to face a mare I haven't seen before. She had a light blue coat, cherry red mane, and rosey red eyes. She wore a purple with gold trimming dress, yet it didn't seem to be royalty material. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yes, I am Shadow. How can I help you miss...."

"Crushing Skull." She plainly said.

I slightly winches at the name. "Damn, that's a name alright. Whatever, it doesn't matter. Just tell me your purpose for being here." I said.

She seemed to give off a sly grin at my commit. "As usual you give off a prissy attitude. But listen, your next evil tyrant fight will not go well."

"What are you even talking about?" I asked.

As soon as I said that, her very essence begins to fade as she hurries her pace in wording. "There's no time, you must find the Álobo-"

And just like that, she disappeared in front of my eyes. All I did was stared in the spot where Crushing Skull originally stood. My brain struggling to put together what that was about.

"That apple cider must be stronger than I thought...."

"Shadow, are you going to try pin the tail on the mule?" Pinkie asked in a burst of energy.

My mind immediately pushed aside those thoughts. "Yeah, I'm coming, Pinkie." I went back inside and enjoyed the rest of the night with my friends.

Author's Note

Yes, new longest chapter! Well, that's all I have to say, until next chapter....
