"Why my foal? You don't need to do this with mine. There are countless of abandoned and lost foals around the world you could take with no trouble, why mine?" Luna lay their looking up at Chrysalis.

"You're smart, figure it out Luna! Or has your magical teachings about friendship and love screwed you over, because that wouldn't surprise me at all."

Luna though for a second, trying to figure out why Chrysalis wanted her foal so badly. "Nightmare moon?"

"DING DING DING, finally our contestant figured the puzzle out! Can you imagine Luna, the creation of Nightmare moon and king Sombra himself? This child could grow to be an unstoppable immortal being, and I will teach him or her in the ways of dark magic." Chrysalis turned towards the door. "Come my slave princess, I would like to show you where your precious friends are."

With her magic Chrysalis put Luna into a unbreakable green magical bubble, two changelings then entered and started pushing the portable cage with Luna in it. They passed down the long halls of the castle of the Crystal Empire, but the paintings, the stained windows, and the beautiful walls were gone, now replaced by horrific dark crystals and green lamps. An gooey green slime leaked from the ceilings, and a red light was illuminating from all the windows.

"I had my Changeling servants hunt down victims of my choosing, one of those victims includes Twilight. The hideous gross bitch of friendship. She is here, along with the pink love princess and her stupid sex stallion, and not to mention thousands of other ponies. You see the magi stone has set multiple illusions over the Crystal Empire. From a very far distance it looks as if the Crystal Empire is being bombarded by fire and flames, but when you get close to the city limits, you will see that the Empire is perfectly fine, but what the Empire really looks like is this."

Chrysalis stopped at a window, the changelings positioned Luna's bubble cage so she could get her own glimpse of the madness happening out side the castle walls.

To Luna's surprise she saw thousands of ponies, all sitting outside in groups. There were unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies alike. She couldn't see Twilight nor Cadance, but thats because their are just so many ponies you would need super vision to spot any particular character out from the large crowds. Their was also a purple magical wall surrounding the Empire, keeping the prisoners from escaping out into the cold winter wasteland the lays beyond the magical wall. The stronger ponies went around looking for whatever food, water, and blankets the could find. The changelings had destroyed almost every building in the city, so their was no shelter. The weaker ponies just layed their on dirty blankets, loved ones were being held for comfort, as their lovers sat their helplessly, watching them suffer. It was cold, very cold, which meant some ponies sadly froze to death. Their was a place were the bodies were taken, of course they were covered, and then put in ditches. The fillies and colts stayed in groups, while the older mares and stallions watched over. Their were also guards, some of them were the ones that went with Luna and Captain Shield, the others were native to the Crystal Empire. The guards used their armor to keep the mares and foals warm, and safe, but they were stripped of their weapons.

“Every day we pull a pony out from the crowd to be stripped of their love. Usually that means an intense beating, and usually they don’t come out. So the longer it takes for your foal to come to me, the more ponies will die.” Chrysalis turned and walked towards Luna, she was laying in the bubble with her head raised from the ground, she didn’t speak a word.

“Not like it matters though, once I get that foal, they will all die, and you will watch, then you will die, along with your precious Sombra.” Chrysalis rolled her eyes as she turned and started walking. The changelings behind started pushing the bubble right behind Chrysalis.

“Y....you can’t win, you won’t.” Those were the only words Luna could say, she was beat and overwhelmed.

“Well since you obviously don’t think I’ve won, why don’t we spend the rest of the afternoon torturing you. You know that’s one other thing the stone gives me, a very painful torture spell, and you’re the first test.” Chrysalis licked her lips.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

“Is that all we have left?”

“I’m afraid so Twiley.” Flash placed the last basket of food with the others, 12 baskets remained, enough food to last them all about four days.

“We won’t last a week in this weather, I’m freezing!” Cadance snuggled closer to Shining armor, who was trying to give some of his body warmth to his freezing wife.

Some solar guards appeared behind Twilight and Flash. “Well anything sergeant?”

“No princess Twilight Sparkle, their is no way out or in, we are stuck in this magical wall.” The solar guards bowed in respect, they had no armor, nor weapons, but you could tell they were guards by how muscular they were.

“All quiet from the foal watch. A white unicorn with a violet mane appeared, it was Lilly Tulip, and Brave Heart was right behind her.

“Good, let’s quiet down for the night, we need to save our energy so our food can last longer.” Shining said as he was holding Cadance close to his body, Cadance as shivering furiously, she was experiencing moderate symptoms of hyperthermia. Every unicorn had a magic muzzle, which prevented them from using magic. The muzzles were connected via a spell that only Chrysalis knew. All Pegasi had Magic straps on their wings, so they couldn’t fly. The only thing they could do was sit, and wait for help.

An hour later the time was around eight o’clock. Most ponies were asleep. They were sleeping in tents made by cloth found in the rubble of the destroyed cities. Some guards were walking about, making sure the sick mares and foals were treated and ok.

Lilly Tulip entered the tent she and Brave Heart were staying in. It was small, barely had enough room for the both of them, but they were married, so they enjoyed being close. Lilly laid down next to Brave who was already falling asleep, but Lilly didn’t want to sleep just yet. The two were supposed to be on their honey moon but were obviously cut short from their vacation, and they had been spending so much time helping, they had no time with each other.

Lilly rested her head on Brave’s large muscular chest. His fur was warm and so attractive to the touch, mostly because it was really cold outside. Brave lifted his head, he started stroking Lilly’s back with his hoof, Lilly purred softly under his gentle touch. In the battlefield, Brave was a strong warrior. He would certainly kill somepony to protect the ones he loved, but he certainly had a gentle touch, at least to Lilly.

“We never get alone time.” Lilly pressed her head harder onto Brave’s large chest.

“Lilly, I’m so sorry this happened, I’m so sorry this destroyed our honeymoon. If we survive this, I will make this up to you.” Brave lifted Lilly’s head up to eye contact, then Brave leaned in for a gentle soft kiss.

“It’s not your fault Brave, you don’t need to be sorry for something you didn’t do.”

“The only princess left is Luna, she is the only one who could still save us from this Lilly, I’m afraid to say it, but I think this is the end.” Brave then put his head on Lilly’s chest, Lilly’s then started stroking his mane.

“Their is always hope Brave, there is a pony stil, out there who could help, I promise.” Lilly the kissed Brave.

“Do you think anypony will hear us, I mean this isn't exactly the best place for sex.” Brave broke the kiss, knowing what was coming.

“Not if your quiet, just be gentle, it’s been a long time since I got good with you in bed.”

“Let’s get to it then.” Brave cut the candle in the tent.

“AAAAAHHHHH...............UUUUGGGGHHHH...............EEEEEHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Please, please, stop it Chrysalis please I beg of you! It hurts so bad! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!” Luna screamed in extreme agony on the ground. For the first time in her immortal life, pain made her cry, like a child crying after he fell of his bike. Chrysalis was tourturing Luna with spells the magi stone gave her. It was power Luna could not even believe in, magic five times the strength of hers.

“How long has it been scout 725?” Chrysalis turned to the changeling who walked into Luna’s cell. Luna was once again chained to the floor, she was laying on the ground gasping for air. She was sweating, exhausted, and beaten to a pulp.

“It’s been an hour my queen.”

“Very good, Well it looks like I’m done with you today, now time for my next victim outside.” Chrysalis turned and exited the cell, her changeling guards followed. Sombra was standing across the hallway. He stood their for about five seconds and walked into the cell after Chrysalis and the others were gone.

“S-Sombra, I don’t understand? I though, I...I thought?.........”

“What, that I loved you? We’ll guess I could say you’re right. I did love you, but you betrayed me.” Sombra walked closer to Luna. Luna tried her best to lift her head, but she was just to weak.

“What? How did I betray you? You went behind my back and attacked the Crystal Empire. You took advantage of me! I loved you! I trusted you! YOU BETRAYED ME! I HATE YOU! You pathetic asshole.” Luna got a little carried away. She silenced herself and calmed down.

“Then I guess I deserve to die then.” Sombra lowered his head to the ground.

“What, what do you mean?” Luna lifted her head, getting the strength to.

“You’re pregnant, with my foal. Chrysalis wants the foal, then she will kill me, and I will be forgotten. The legend of the immortal alicorns will be forgotten. Chrysalis will rule the world in darkness and in chaos. We will all die, and everypony still alive then will forget we even existed.” Sombra turned away from Luna, Luna then could feel his pain, his emotional pain inside.

“Sombra? I’m, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean what I said, but we could look past that. We can work together and stop Chrysalis, The we can be together for eternity. We can raise this foal together.” Luna got up, she was restricted in mobility because of the chains but could stand.

“No Luna, it’s all done for us, for me..........goodbye my love.”

“Sombra no wait! That stone what is it? Did it bring you back to life? How can we destroy it. Sombra you must tell me, we can save thousands of innocent lives!”

“Uhhhh, all I know is that the stone is thousands of years old, it has powerful spells and magic that Chrysalis can use to do anything. You won’t be able to stop her in a one on one fight, the only way is to destroy the stone.” Sombra turned back around towards Luna.

“Yes but how are you still alive?” Luna layed back down, the exhaustion was starting to hit her again.

“The stone brought me back, and is keeping me alive.” Sombra lowered his head down again and turned around. He walked out of the cell and closed the door, leaving Luna with his words.

“Wait, Does that means if I destroy the stone, you will be destroyed? With no way of keeping you alive? SOMBRA! Will I kill you by destroying the stone? You must tell me! Please!" Sombra could hear her behind the door, but he did nothing, for he wanted death.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Look Twiley! Chrysalis is coming!” Flash pointed towards a magical portal that appeared just in front of the castle.

“Oh no, she must be coming for another pony! We must run!” Spike who was standing beside Twilight ran the opposite direction, but everypony else stood their ground and faced Chrysalis. She walked threw the portal.

“Who to choose this time, hmmmmmm, so many fresh victims, so much juicy love to suck up. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Ah, you.” Chrysalis pointed her hoof, directly in the direction of Brave Heart, who was holding his wife by the fire.

"What? No, you can't take Brave Heart. As a matter of fact, I will not let you take anypony else Chrysalis!" Lilly stepped in front of Chrysalis, she wasn't just going to let her take her husband away to a painful and slow death.

"Oh my guards, this pony is interrupting our party, let us get ride of this interruption." Chrysalis raised her hoof, and six Changeling guards stormed out of the portal behind Chrysalis. One of them hit Lilly in the muzzle. Lilly was not a fighter, nor was she that muscular, so she didn't stand a chance. Brave was to weak and had no weapons, one of the Changelings hit him hard in the chest. Another hit him in the muzzle, a third hit in the face, then on the nose, then on the right ear, then stomach. They beat him until he could barely walk. Blood was coming from his ear, noise, and eyes. His left front leg was broke, and he had a black eye. Lilly watched in horror as they beat his husband to a pulp.

"NO, NO, NO STOP IT PLEASE STOP IT." Lilly tried to stop them from taking him but she was stopped by Twilight and Cadance.

"It's ok Lilly, he will find a way out, we all will." Cadance and Twilight both tried their best to calm her down, and let her realize that their was virtually nothing they could possible do. Chrysalis had taken eleven ponies already, Brave was her twelfth, and she was just getting started. The changelings stopped the beating then picked Brave up. Two changeling guards dragged Brave's body to the portal to be drained of his love. In Brave's pain, he tried his best to signal his wife.

"Li--efghhh-illy, I love---uhhh--y-uh-ou." That was all he could say. He was dragged threw the portal, Chrysalis then entered the portal and closed it behind her. Lilly was in tears.
