Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

Chrysalis spoke to me once again "I will lend you all the power I can spare, use it to your advantage." I felt a wave of pure energy wash over me, I felt like I could take on the world. I charged towards the locked door and rammed straight through it. The guards stationed outside both turned to me shock clear on both of their faces.

"Shining how did you just-" He stopped when he noticed my now dark green eyes with menacing slits for irises, combined with my mad grin. They both stepped back and gripped their swords at their sides. The higher ranked guard spoke "Where is Shining armor and what did you do to him!" I laughed maniacally and stated.

"I Am Shining Armor." I charged at them before they could recover from my statement sent them both flying with a magical push. Their heads smashed into a wall and knocked them both unconscious. I started galloping towards the throne room dodging guards that had been informed I was to be confined to my room. The ones I couldn't dodge I rammed through them. I was getting closer to the throne room when I heard the horn that ordered all guards to go on high alert. A golden shield shot up around Canterlot. "Celestia is trying to keep me trapped here. I'm going to need a way out when I'm through here." I thought.

"When the time comes I will grant you enough power to blast a hole through the shield. Be ready she knows you are coming."  I gave a mental nod and turned to the throne room doors. The events of the past half hour played through my head, Her betrayal, removing me of my command and forbidding me from seeing Cadence. I violently pushed open the doors to the throne room and I saw her sitting there eyes narrowed at me. My anger began to overflow and the pressure grew like a volcano about to erupt. I clenched my teeth staring violently at Celestia, my former ruler. At that moment I embraced the change, A green circle began to form around me. Green flame started to rise up my hooves and up to my chest, spreading throughout my body. The green fire burned and made me feel more powerful then ever before, I never stopped glaring at Celestia. Once the flame reached my head it exploded in pain and made me wince, a blinding green flash radiated from my body and once I regained my sight I had transformed.

My hooves were now pitch black and there were holes in them. My horn had bent and looked similar to Chrysalis's horn. I had see through bug like wings as well. I had never felt so powerful in my entire life. I had grown taller and was now equal to Celestia in height. Celestia shook her head in disgust. "This is why I had you separated from Cadence, your nothing but a monster now."

I barred my teeth at her and growled menacingly, I noticed I had fangs now as well. "My life here is over, I have nothing left to lose. I don't deserve Cadence anymore." I shot a beam of green energy at Celestia. She deflected it with a shield and bounced it back to me. I barely dodged my own attack and charged at her with lightning speed. Celestia launched herself in the air but I jumped up and tackled her before she could retaliate. We hit the ground hard Celestia taking the brunt of the fall. I rose one of my hooves and brought it down on her face. I struck her again and I felt her wing snap under my hoof. I heard a galloping noise and I looked to where it was coming from just in time to see a dark blue blur smash into my side knocking the wind out of me. Luckily my skin had formed into an outer shell and could take blows more easily. I got to my feet and noticed the eyes of a furious Princess Luna. However I was focused on who was behind her.

"Shining armor??..."  Twilight asked if it was truly me in this new form.

"Shining armor.. Is no more." I stated to my former little sister. She had tears in her eyes, shaking her head in disbelief. Luna shouted at me in the royal canterlot voice

"YOU WILL PAY FOR HARMING OUR SISTER! She charged at me but I jumped in the air and landed on her back. She bucked me off of her and I landed on the ground. She was a better fighter then her sister. Before I could regain my footing I watched as Luna's horn glowed and a dark blue aura encompassed her legs and she bucked me again with much greater strength I hissed in pain as I flew into a wall. The wall cracked and I landed heavily on the ground. I spit out green blood which could only mean I was bleeding internally. I was breathing heavily when I saw Luna standing over me. Her horn glowed once again and her forehooves began to glow dark blue. She raised them and prepared to strike me I stared into her eyes with a defiant look in my eyes. Suddenly I heard Twilight yell.

WAIT!! Please Stop! Luna looked over to Twilight for a brief half a second and I took this to my advantage. I charged my horn and shot Luna off of me with a beam of energy. I got to my hooves and started limping towards Twilight

"Is that really you Shining?.." I stared into her eyes and willed my eyes to flash to their old color for a moment and whispered.

"Thank you" I turned away from her and ran towards a wall. I charged my horn and shot a small hole through the wall. I limped through it and spread my wings. I didn't know how to fly but in this case it was learn fast or die trying. I could see Hundreds of guards heading my way and I didn't have the strength to fight them all. I buzzed my wings and hovered for a moment they were almost upon me when I began to fly away from the earth pony guards. The pegasi royal guards were converging on my position and I heard Chrysalis speak in my head

"I'm going to grant you the power to escape. Use it wisely"

I felt my reserves of magic replenish and I began to shoot the pegasi with small beams of energy. Aiming for their wings I wanted as much out of the sky for when the force field needed to be dealt with. The pegasi began to overwhelm me and I tucked my wings at my sides and dove for the shield "I need to get out of here now" I focused most of my remaining energy into a beam and shot it towards the shield. I barely made a hole big enough for me to fit through and I squeezed through I started descending, I no longer had the energy to fly. I hit the ground hard and coughed up green blood. I couldn't move.

The royal guards followed me through the shield since they were permitted to go through it unscathed. They began to surround me and I started to lose hope. Then I heard her once again.

"Congratulations, you've earned a right to live in my swarm. Keep showing promise and I will reward you handsomely"

Just then there was a green flash and Chrysalis appeared next to me. I felt relief wash over me, She stood over me protectively. Her horn lit up and she teleported me with her into a cave.
