Castle Throne, P.o.v- Thomas

"Blackhole Bullet!" I roared as I shot my fist towards Chrysalis, but she was able to dodge it in time. I clicked my tongue as I retracted my arm back to me and blocked more magic attacks from Chrysalis, I had to be on the defensive most of the time since this woman is keen on only using projectile attacks. "I'm getting real sick of this shit Chrysalis!"

"Well sorry to say Devil, but I don't plan on being killed while my plan has finally come to flourishin, so excuse me for being cautious!" Chrysalis retorted all while continuously hitting me with magic blasts. This woman was agile, I'll give her that, but it seems she was itching to fight me head on, though she knows that will end up with her head smashed beneath my feet. "What's the matter Devil, scared of a little magic?" She antagonized me, I rolled my eye and started sending her attacks back with my sword.

With each attack she sent I hit right back to her, Chrysalis may be smart, but when it comes to making quick decisions it seems I'm taking that trophy. Seeing her attacks starting to come back at her, she jumped from corner to corner like a frog dodging dangerous animals, and I'm one helluva animal. Seeing it no longer working she decided to call upon a few of her soldiers to back her up, the changeling soldier's broke through the stain glass windows by the dozens until half the room was filled with them. I was pissed off at first, but that anger turned to laughter as soon as I realized something.

"A Queen using pawns to take out a King, how pitiful Chrysalis... have these pawns ever been in a fight before?" I asked Chrysalis who scowled. "These pawns are about to die to someone far above their level of power, and you're okay with sacrificing them?"

"I will do what I must to ensure that we win and finally take over Canterlot, you're friends may have escaped but I'm sure those fools will be captured and brought before me on their knee's any moment now" Chrysalis boasted triumphantly, it was almost like she had forgotten about me... let's change that. "So I suggest you give up now or Ill slaughter each and every-AAAAAH!" She screamed halfway through her threat as I cut one of the soldiers in half then crushed their head. "You... You insolent cur!"

"Like I said Chrysalis, are you willing to let these 'children' die?" I asked as the small army began to back up a little. "So you do feel fear, then you must feel pain too" I said an swung my sword again, it took a second but four changeling soldiers fell to to the ground with on leg cut clean off of them. Their screams filled the room immediately after they fell to the ground, and now even Chrysalis was starting to get scared. "Just close your eye's kid's, The Devil's gonna make this quick" I said and pulled out my phone, then hit play.

"Kill him!" Chrysalis ordered and they all charged me, I smirked as the fools came to their death. Once the first Changeling swung his sword at me, I deflected it and stabbed him in the throat then cut most of his neck out when I swung my sword again cutting his friend's head off in a single strike. I raised my broken shield slightly, which blocked a stab from a soldier to my left, I used a tendril to grab his sword and pulled him closer before head butting him then quickly broke his neck with a single chop to the neck.

"Die!" Another cried out but he was silenced when I threw a punch so hard my fist went right through him. Seeing more of them coming behind me, I spun around with the body still on my arm then let them embed their swords in their comrade which seemed to finally kill him. I kicked him off my arm as I dodged an arrow aiming for my head, thats when I saw four archers surrounding me when I got my footing. I grinned seeing the four soldiers and an idea popped in my head, I used my demons power to stretch out my arm holding my sword and then spun around fast enough to act as a buzz saw. They went to fire but when the arrows got torn to shreds the moment they made contact, they started noticing that their attacks were not working so they went to run but I grabbed them by their legs with my tendrils when they weren't looking and pulled them in.

"My Queen! Help us, please help us-!" His cry for help was cut off as his body was ripped to pieces. Chrysalis was watching her 'children' die right before her, and I was making sure to be as brutal as possible in order for her anger to spike. When I had finished my attack, I noticed that only a small handful of five Changeling's were left due to me being unable to hold back with that last attack.

"Sorry kids, mommy's not gonna help you out of this ass whooping" I told them in a patronizing tone. "Mommy doesn't have the balls to fight The Devil herself, so as punishment, I'll make her watch as I murder every last changeling right in front of her" I said with a sicking grin, I started towards the remaining soldiers who were cowering together infront of their precious Queen who was too helpless to stop me.

"Stop" Chrysalis said, but I didn't falter. "I said stop!" She demanded though I just chuckled at her pleading.

"You think words will stop me now, your arrogance has brought you an your 'children' face to face with The Devil, I WILL RIP AND TEAR UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING BUT BLOOD AND GUTS UNDER MY FEET! I roared and laughed manically before rushing forward to the group in front of me, I was quickly tackled back and thrown to the wall across from them. I was embedded into said wall but I quickly ripped myself out and smiled like a madman when I saw the burning hatred in Chrysalis' eyes.

"I'LL FUCKIN KILL YOU!" She screamed and raced over at break neck speeds, throwing a punch. I dodged the attack but the wall behind me now had a hole peering outside and we could see the people of equestria fighting the changeling army, I can even see my friend's protecting the people who couldn't fight and quickly getting them to safety in the Everfree where Jay, Gilda and Violet held down the fort while Jackson threw bolts of lightning at the oncoming enemy getting to close. When I started fighting Chrysalis they all took off, either out of fear or feeling the need to protect the people in Canterlot. Or both.

"This invasion will not be as you intend it to be Chrysalis, I can promise you that" I told her, her response was to kick me towards the thrones in the far back, I crashed through both of them and bounced off the wall then tumble to the floor. "Now that wasn't very nice, still pissed off about your little pawns dying" I laughed as I slowly got back up to my feet.

"You have no idea as to how Im feeling, if you were a man then you'd fight me with your own two hands instead of your sword" Chrysalis said changing into an air-user version of herself, except she wore a black chest piece, black gauntlets and black armor around her legs and her skin was a pale green that matched her dark emerald hair. Admittedly she looked rather attractive in this air-user form, then again she looked pretty attractive in her original form as well, however, no matter how attractive she is, Im still gonna kill her. "Well Devil, are you man enough to face me hand to hand?"

"Hand to hand, swordplay, magic fight, none of it matters because the results may vary" I said, taking my shield off my arm and let it drop to the floor. "Either we both live... or we both die " I said and stabbed my sword in the ground next to my shield.

"It will not end in both of us dying or living, it will end with your severed head beneath my foot" Chrysalis said confidently and I chuckled, I flexed my hands for a moment then balled them up.

"If you're so confident... come and take it" I said immediately dodging her fist, it was fast but manageable. I sent my own fist but she dodged it as well then jumped back a couple feet and circled around behind me before rushing towards me. She reeled her fist back and threw a barrage of punches, but I dodged them all with little effort. "C'mon, I want you to give me everything you got!" I shouted and backhanded her oncoming fist then landed a hit against her chest which threw her back a few feet.

"If you wanna die that badly then fine!" Chrysalis exclaimed and flew at me.

'So fast!' I thought before I was punched across my face then elbowed in my stomach. I coughed up some blood when it hit me then staggered back a few steps to catch my breath. Seems I succeeded in pissing her off.

"Now that's what I call a punch... this is gonna be interesting" I said and played another song.

At the start of the song of the song we stared at eachother then as it picked up we ran at eachother then threw our fists. They had connected with eachother but I sent another to her side landing a clean hit but Chrysalis had the same idea and we both grunted. I pushed her back then sent a couple jabs to which she blocked and countered with her own, landing a clean hit but I grabbed her arm and pulled her in, giving her a hard right then a quick knee to the gut.

Chrysalis coughed up some blood but quickly headbutted me which made me stagger back a bit, giving her the chance to tackle me to the ground. Once I was pinned, Chrysalis threw some of the most heaviest punches Ive ever felt, but I toughed it out until I picked her up and slammed her on her back with almost everything I had. It was so hard that I actually cracked the ground beneath us the moment Chrysalis made contact. Seeing an opening, I went to stomp on her head but she rolled out of the way and kicked me back then went for another tackled but I caughter her halfway and we were both got caught in a power struggle until I gripped her arms and hurled her against the window behind me.

Chrysalis bounced off the thick glass with a hard thud which elicited a loud crack from the window, but I wasnt done yet. I ran a few feet back while she was recovering then I full tilt sprinted towards her. Just as she finally recovered I had already speared her out of the window.

As we rocketed towards the city below we threw punches an kicks at eachother on the way down. I blocked a kick from Chrysalis with my own and she countered my jab with a straight right, the sounds of flesh beating flesh echoed through the air like a bell ringing at a church. Time felt like it had slowed down the more we fell and continued fighting in the air, each hit was heavier than the last and the sounds of our fighting overshadowed the fighting going on right now. Chrysalis threw a heavy left hook to my cheek but I took it with little to no effort and reeled back my arm to give her the same treatment. When my fist landed against her cheek, time resumed and my punch made her plumet to the ground faster than when we first started falling. She slamed against the ground with a loud vibrating thud while I landed right on my feet, leaving a small crater where I now stood. While Chrysalis was recovering, I went to go continue the fight until I finally looked around the broken city of Canterlot. I felt a hint of sadness as I realized how many families were now homeless or short one family member. It was all because of her, and her damn horde of Changeling's.

"Look around you Chrysalis, because of you, all these innocent people have no place to reside anymore... their children will live on the streets because of your invasion, do you feel no remorse for ypur actions!?" I shouted at the woman, Chrysalis only laughed as she slowly rose to her feet.

"You damn fool, we Changeling's feed off of emotion, be it hate, love, depression or sadness, we take those emotions and eat them... what do I care if those useless brats are homeless, as long as I get to feed off their emotions I couldn't care less about them. That reminds me, have you noticed that your burning hatred has been suddenly quelled?" Chrysalis asked and for some reason she was right, my anger was somehow gone. "During our fight I took the liberty to feed off your hatred and I must say it was delicious, and the more I tasted it, the more I wanted to keep fighting" She said, I growled at the woman but she didn't seem fazed. "Another nifty perk with eating emotions is that we can see where its aimed and strangely enough that hatred was not only aimed at me, but it was also aimed at yourself" Chrysalis said and I gritted my teeth hearing this because she was right. "My, my, you're a boy trying to play the hero, maybe even hoping to win the affection of a certain someone if you win, but in reality, you're just a monster wanting to be a regular person"

".... You're right" I said, making her smirk. "But is it so wrong for a monster to have wants and needs too... I want to be a regular person, but no matter how much I wish for it... I'm just nothing more than a monster. Unfortunately, my friends don't believe in that little fact, one even told me that if I was a monster, than this world doesn't deserve a sweet monster like me... kinda sounds funny when you think about but honestly I agree with her" I said making her smirk turn to a glare. "The reason why you tasted hatred towards myself was because I hated the fact that I had to become a monster to even defeat you... but if turning into a monster will mean my friends will be safe, then.... I'LL GIVE UP MY HUMANITY WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT!!! I screamed and launched at her, hitting her as hard as I could.

My attack sent her flying at high speeds, she crashed through a couple of buildings on the way, but she had stopped in one of the houses and flew at me with the same amount of aggression. I slammed my fist into hers and I swear you could see the electricity flying off of them. Swiping her hand away, I threw my own punch but she dodged it fluently and gave me a quick jab to my chest, unfortunately for her that punch didn't feel as heavy as before so I was able to take it. We threw more punches at each other, dodging out of the way the moment a fist came close to us, each jab was matched with another jab which nullified it but the force between us both made our knuckles start bleeding the moment we connected our fists. Each punch felt like a knife being jammed into each bone in my hands, but I couldn't let up, I had to win no matter what. I kicked her back and stretched out my right arm to get ready for an attack, but I suddenly felt a sharp pain course through my body, causing my arm to retract back to me.

'My form is starting to faulter, I don't know how much more my body can take, especially since I've already taken a beating way before this fight, I don't know how much more I can take' I thought but quickly ripped out of them as my instincts made me duck under an oncoming kick from Chrysalis, then I had to immediately block two more kicks, causing me to skid back a few inches. I shook off the pain and refocused myself on the fight at hand.

Everfree Forest, P.o.v- Jay

"Keep it moving people, make sure to help anyone that is in need!" I instructed the hundreds of people who now stood inside the Everfree Forest with me, Violet, Jackson, Gilda and any guard not fighting. "I need to head back and see if their was anymore people who haven't made it here"

"I don't know if that's a good idea Jay, what if you find T-Thomas?" Violet asked, scared out of her mind right now.

"Then I'll help him fight Chrysalis, after I've gotten the citizens to safety" I said but it seems Violet was still too scared to let me go off. "Violet its gonna be okay, me and Jackson are gonna go find the girls if Thomas needs some help then we'll-"

"No!" Violet cried out.

"Violet, what's gotten into you?" I asked and I can visibly see her shaking.

"I-I... I-I... I don't want you to help that unholy monster, I want you to stay as far away from that thing as possible!" Violet exclaimed, taking me aback a bit. "I-I know Thomas is your friend and he's mine as well, but that monster is not Thomas anymore he's just a thing that only wants to see everything dead, he won't care who you are so dont help something that will kill you without single thought" Violet demanded and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Violet listen to yourself, this is Thomas we're talking about, he's no monster he's some we hold dear too" I tried to assure her, but it wasn't working she still didn't want me to leave because of her fear of Thomas. "Violet, listen to me, I know you're scared of Thomas' transformation but I promise you that he will not kill us or anyone that he considers his friends... Thomas is our friend through an through, so no matter what form he takes I know he's still the shy, soft spoken nerd we all know and love, so please just calm down and think about what you're saying" I told her, she looked at me for a while and slowly started crying.

"Im... Im sorry... Im so sorry" Violet whimpered out, I hugged the girl and sighed. "How... how could I say such horrible things!"

"It's okay Violet, you were just scared an confused, I was too when I first saw it" I said, comforting her as she cried into my chest. "I hope the girls are okay, I remember Twilight saying that they were going to stay behind, but I'm not sure that was such a great idea"

"Jay, I think we're finally starting to get things under control, Feather told me that Silver and Blazing are bringing in more people after their squad killed more of the changelings around the eastern side. I also got word from some air-user's that they witness Thomas and Chrysalis crash through the throne room window and fall right into the city... I honestly don't know how everything turned so shitty in just half an hour" Jackson said landing in front of us. "I still haven't found Cadance or the girl's either, we need to go back and find them or else they'll be killed"

"I know, I was just about to head off to the castle, you go on ahead I'll catch up" I said to which he nodded before running off. "Will you be okay by yourself here Violet?" I asked her, she looked up and wiped her tears away then nodded. "You and Gilda are in charge of helping the injured, Ill be back, I promise" I said, kissing her cheek and running off to catch up with Jackson.

It didn't take long for me to catch up, but I knew it was going to be difficult getting from the forest to the castle. Deciding to save a bit of time we both flew up and started our way towards the castle, we looked down and felt sadness as we saw the destroyed homes and businesses beneath us. The Changeling numbers were dwindling since they weren't trained properly, but that doesn't mean we haven't taken a few casualties while they first arrived. The moment they landed they started killing people left an right without hesitation, men, women and even children. I wanted to kill every last one of them knowing what they have done, but sadly I was too out numbered to do anything to stop them.

"Jay, you think Thomas will be okay?" Jackson asked me.

"I think so, he's a tough guy considering how skinny he is or used to be... hey Jackson" I called out.

"Whats up?" He asked.

"That form that Thomas has right now... what do you think of it?" I asked, making him hum a bit.

"It's quite possibly the most terrifying thing I've ever seen, but no matter what form Thomas takes up, he'll always be our friend through an through" Jackson answered honestly.

"I couldn't agree more, now let's get to the girl's and fast, who knows what's going on" I said and we increased our speed, the closer we got to the castle, the louder the fighting became. We stopped when we heard a familiar voice to our right and lo' an behold it was Thomas fighting Chrysalis bare handed. "Jesus dude, Thomas sure doesn't hold back does he?" I asked.

"Seems they're both giving each other a hard time right now" Jackson said just as Thomas was punched across the face, sending him right through a wall. It wasn't long before he suddenly ran back out and picked Chrysalis up before ramming her through a couple of buildings before throwing her to the floor with a sound that made us cringe. "I think Thomas can handle Chrysalis, let's keep going" Jackson said, I nodded and we were back on track. It took us a couple more minutes to get to the castle, but we made it just in time to see the girl's being taken to the throne room in chains by a few Changeling soldiers.

"You go left and I go right?" I suggested, Jackson gave me a thumbs up before we burst through the windows and started fighting off the soldiers. I picked one up and threw him out the window then grabbed another and slammed his face into the wall near me. I quickly picked up his body and tossed it towards another soldier coming at me but as the soldier caught him, I picked up one of their acid blades and sliced right through both of them before they knew what had happened. As I finished off my enemies I heard the cracking sounds of Jackson's new lightning staff buzzing through the air and striking three guard's in a quick fashion causing them to wither and collapse, it was expected since the three felt the force of a million volts of electricity slam against their skulls.

"You girl's okay?" I asked, breaking them out of their chains.

"Thank ya kindly boy's, a second later an Ah thought we were done for" Applejack said, racking an unconscious soldier. "Serves ya right"

"I believe we are all alright darling, we honestly should've been more careful but there were some stragglers in the castle so we decided to guide them out. Unfortunately we had to fight off the horde of Changeling's coming at us in order for them to escape. They escaped, unfortunately for us, we did it not" Rarity said, which explained how they got captured.

"If only I was just a little bit faster, I could've taken all of them!" Rainbow said, obviously pissed she was caught.

"Im just so happy to see you two okay" Fluttershy said while Pinkie was squeezing us both to death. "Well, kinda, okay"

"Where's Thomas?" Twilight asked which seemed to make everyone but Jackson and I tremble a bit.

"He's fighting Chrysalis right now, it looks like this fight is much more intense than the fight with Discord" I told them. "But don't worry, I know Thomas will pull through, he's our friend after all" I said, getting grim looks on some of the girls face's. "He's our friend... right?"

"No" Applejack said coldly. "Ah just can't sugarcube, he-he's... he's too terrifying, that thing is a monster" Applejack said, shocking myself and Jackson.

"I-I hate to say it darling but... I have to agree with Applejack on this one, Thomas is sweet yes, but I don't want to think about what could happen if he were to lose control of himself while in that horrid form" Rarity threw in. "If I've learned anything from the books I've read over the years, it's that a monster will eventually bare its fangs on the ones they care about, even if they don't mean too"

"He's every nightmare I've ever had rolled up into one" Fluttershy whimpered. "He's everything that my mother said a Devil would look like, he's nothing but a monster!"

"He makes me feel like Im going to die just by being near him, he's like a monster you have to run away from" Pinkie said, and I just cant believe they thought of him as some sort of monster too. "Thats... Thats not Thomas anymore"

"I... I can't you guys, this is your friend, thi-this is someone who is fighting to keep everyone, including all of you, safe... and you're calling him a monster" I said in disbelief, these four girls who were his bestfriend's were saying such terrible things about him right now.

"Jay is right, how could say that about your own friend, Thomas is still Thomas no matter what you may think. How do you think he would feel if he heard you call him a monster!?" Jackson questioned the four and they looked down to the floor in shame.

"I know how he would feel" Rainbow cut in getting all of us to look at her. "Thomas was already dealing with this situation way before he transformed into that form we see now, at home he was crying and asking for help because he was scared that everyone was going to think of him as nothing but a monster, I dont ever want to see him like that again. Thomas is our friend and you have the nerve to say these terrible things about him, if he was here now I'm sure would be completely heartbroken hearing you call him a monster, Thomas is a sweet man who cares about all of us so dont you dare call him a monster!" Rainbow yelled at them, we've never seen Rainbow this emotional before so it was kinda shocking to say the least.

"I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed, when I would ask Thomas about your world during the three weeks he was awake I noticed he was struggling with something mentally, it looked like it was eating away at him inside for quite awhile, I wanted to help him but I didn't know where to start so Im glad he finally talked to someone about it" Twilight said, turning her attention to the four girls. "Rainbow Dash, Jay, and Jackson are right, you should be ashamed of yourselves for even thinking such things, a person is a person no matter who they are or where they come from, and you know who told us that?" Twilight asked the four who looked disappointed in themselves.

"Thomas" They said and finally realized what they had said about their friend.

"Ah cant believe Ah would badmouth mah own friend... granny would be so disappointed in me" Applejack said.

"Me too, I shouldn't have ever said such horrible things about someone who truly cares about us" Rarity said, sighing as she covered her face with her hands. Pinkie and Fluttershy were crying a little remembering their words.

"How could I *sob* say such hurtful things to the kindest person I've met?" Fluttershy questioned herself as she cried with Pinkie.

"Save the tears for after we're done rescuing people in the castle, have any of you seen Cadance or the other princesses?" Jackson asked and Twilight nodded.

"Yes, we met up with princess Celestia halfway through the castle as we were getting those people out, she said she had went to her room to get her gift for Cadance and my brother when she was knocked out by Chrysalis, then she ran off to goddess know's where in a panic. Princess Luna was also knocked unconscious in her room but when we found her, she was drenched in blood and holding a blue steel spear that was also coated in blood, she looked like she had fought off hundreds of those Changeling things and she said she was on the hunt for the real Cadance and was making sure that guard's didn't leave a single Changeling alive" Twilight said and it seems Luna is very pissed off at the moment and Celestia was still somewhere in the castle.

"Okay, I think I have a clue as to where Celestia might be at so I'll head on over, you guys go find an join Luna on the hunt for the real Cadance, I'll catch up with you guys when I find Celestia" Jackson said before taking off in a random direction, but knowing what our task at hand was, we started towards the direction Twilight last saw Luna going.

"I hope Thomas will be okay, he looked pretty messed up before getting into that fight" Twilight said as we ran through the halls.

"For real, I'm surprised he hasn't kicked the bucket yet, just how tough is he?" Rainbow asked while I just shrugged.

"Beats me, but Jackson told me that a couple of air-user guards spotted the two crashing through the throne room's stain-glass windows and were falling down to the city" I said which made them all look shocked. "We also saw him tackling Chrysalis through buildings and slamming her on the floor, honestly we heard just about every punch and attack they threw at each other as clear as day" I told them and they cringed at the mere thought of sounds of fleshing beating flesh.

"I hope he'll be okay, if he loses... then we have no way of defeating Chrysalis, and she'll take over equestria" Twilight said in a grim tone, unfortunately she was not wrong, just by watching them fight I can clearly tell that myself and Jackson would be killed almost immediately. "Let's not focus on that stuff right now, we should focus on finding Cadance, my brother, and princess Luna"

"Alright" I said before we upped our pace. All the while I was praying that I wouldn't find Thomas lying on the street dead somewhere. 'C'mon Thomas, I know you can do it, so just hang in there a bit longer'

Castle Gardens, P.o.v- Jackson

"Jesus... they destroyed everything " I said in disbelief as I looked around at the now destroyed garden. I cant even imagine how Celestia must feel seeing all her hard work destroyed, it makes me angry knowing they had the ball's to destroy such a beautiful place. Then again, I shouldn't expect much from the people killing and destroying everything in sight. "Celestia you here!?" I called out, now traversing through the demolished garden. "Celestia if you can hear me then follow my voice, we gotta get you outta here!" I shouted, then heard the sounds of sobbing. I quickly followed the sound and was quickly met with something heartbreaking.

"They destroyed everything Jackson" Celestia said, her voice turning distorted then back to normal as she spoke. Bodies of Changeling's laid around her sobbing form, but the thing that made my heartache was the fact that her form was changing into something that resembles Nightmare Moon. "My mother trusted me with this garden, but now it's all gone... Im gonna kill them all... ever last one of them!" She screamed and slammed her fists to the floor, creating a big crack. Her pale white skin was giving off a slight orange tint and her hair was starting to resemble the flames of the sun instead of her normal, calming rainbow hair.

"Celestia... it's gonna be okay-"

"SHUT UP!" She shrieked, her voice boomed with enough force to knock me on my ass. "My whole life I've taken care of this garden, this garden was like a part of me... now they've taken that away, and you're telling it's gonna be okay!?" Celestia shouted in pure rage.

"Celestia please, I know you're hurting right now but becoming angry wont change anything" I said, getting back up an slowly started walking towards her. "I know how much this garden means to you, but you have to understand that everything here can be grown back or even healed" I continued, still keeping my slow pace. I think I can see the grass around her starting to turn black just from being near her. "I'll help you grow a new garden, one that'll be better than this one!"

"Nothing we do can replace all the blood, sweat and tears I've poured into this garden... this was the last thing I have of her and they took it away from me!" Celestia cried out, her left eye slowly turning black with an orange iris.

"I know... but you still have something, or rather someone else your mother left behind and that's your sister!" I shouted to which she winced hearing this and her eye started turning back to normal. "Think about Luna, think about Cadance! This garden isn't the only thing your mother wanted you to care about, I'm sure she would want you to protect you little sister from any danger that comes her way. Your mother left you more than just this garden, she made sure to leave you with family in hopes you keep smiling and being who you truly are, so please calm down and be who you really are" I said, finally reaching her and pulled Tia into an embrace. It burns just being next to her, but I can't let a little pain stop me from helping a friend in need. "You have people who care about you too like Twilight, Spike, Mari, Gilda, Lavender, Jay, Thomas, Violet, the girl's all the maid's and guard's serving under you... I care about you, so please just come back to me... please" I cried, I could feel the tears evaporating off of my cheeks the moment they came out of my eyes.

I heard nothing from Celestia for a moment that felt like centuries until I noticed the heat coming off of her was starting to fade. The orange tint on her skin had also went away and her hair turned back to normal, I slowly pulled back from the hug and gave the heaviest sigh of relief I've ever given in my entire life. Celestia was back to her old self again, save for the orange eyes, she was back to the way she was and she cried her eye's out on my chest.

"It's all gonna be okay Celestia, we'll... I'll help you get through this like how you helped me before" I said, finally able to feel at ease once again. "C'mon, we gotta go find the others, Thomas is taking care of Chrysalis right now so we have time to get everyone out of the castle" I said and picked her up.

"Do you think Thomas will be okay?" Celestia asked, I chuckled at the question.

"Of course, this is Thomas we're talking about, I bet he finished mopping the floor with that bug bitch"

Canterlot City, P.o.v- Thomas

"What's the matter Thomas, you were talking so much about how you'll beat me and yet..." Chrysalis started as she held me up by my throat, my form had finally reached it's limit and it started receding back inside of me. "Here you are, as weak and as fragile as a new born baby... although it looks like you are a man after all, I must say, that's quite the impressive set of equipment you got their" She taunted.

I could barely move, I could barely breathe, I could barely see or hear anything at this very moment. I was rendered completely useless, I did feel two things, first was the agonizing pain rocking my whole body due to the backlash from using my new form, and the second thing was the cold wind that rushed past my now naked body. So, she was kinda right on the money with how I look and feel.

"I was led to believe that you absolutely decimated Discord, a being of pure chaos, but I guess it was those other two friends of yours that actually did him in. I'm disappointed really, a little boy like you gave me so much trouble only moments ago, but now, I'm gonna make sure that this is your last breath... and I'll make it the most agonizing breath you've ever taken" Chrysalis said then slammed me to floor, I barely had time to make a sound before she started dragging me through the concrete streets then threw me up and delivered a punch with enough force an power to make me go through five and a half houses.

I gave out small cracking cries of pain when I stopped in the middle of the fifth house. I coughed up a good mouth full of blood as I laid on the floor and stared through a hole in the ceiling, allowing me to gaze up at the dusty brown sky. I let out slow, shaky breaths the more I laid on the floor, I felt.... so helpless. I had honestly forgotten this feeling ever since I came to this world, I started thinking about home, my mom, my dad, my brother and sisters, Jay and Jackson and even the girls. I could feel the warm tears pool over the sides of my eye's, because this was the first time I was clearly seeing my life flash before my eyes... and I it didnt scared me.

'So this is how I die huh... I still had... so much to do, but I think I can forget all of that now' I thought. I didn't know wether I should struggle to keep fighting, or to let myself be taken by death. 'I guess this is it for me... take care of them you two, Im putting my faith in your hands' I thought before slowly closing my eyes, to finally let the darkness consume me.

"A... A-Are you alive?" I heard someone ask, I slowly reopened my eye's and saw a scared little girl covered in dirt and scrapes. "P-Please... Please dont die, I... I don't want to be alone" She whimpered, I slowly focused my vision on her and noticed she was a magic-user with short hair that matched the color of the arctic snow, her skin was a whitish grey color that made her crystal blue eyes more noticeable than anything else. She looked no older than Marigold, and she looked like she's seen enough fighting an death to last her a lifetime. Knowing my vocal cords were a bit shot, I beckoned her to come closer before speaking.

"Ch... Child... w-where a-are...... your parents?" I asked the little girl, I felt like I knew the answer to this and feeling her tears drip onto me told me everything. Using every ounce of willpower I had, I raised my arm around the poor girl and brought her down for a hug. "I-Im... I-Im s-so s-s-sorry" I whispered to her, I couldn't imagine how she must be feeling right now.

"T-They tried to protect me, but... but-"

"Shh, try not to... think about it... I'm sure your parent's... would be happy to know... that you're alive right now" I said. "W-What is... your name?" I asked and waited patiently for her to answer.

"M-My name... my name is sn-snowflake" Snow said and I weakly smiled.

"That's a... beautiful name... my names Thomas... nice to meet you" I said, letting Snow get back up. "S-snow... I ne-need your help sweetheart... do you think... you can get me into a sitting position?" I asked to which she hesitantly nodded before grabbing both my arms and began pulling me up with all her might. I threw in my own strength to help her lift me up, and slowly but surely we were able to get me in that position.

"Mr. T-Thomas... are you gonna be okay?" Snow asked as she held me up straight, I just gave her a big smile.

"Im gonna be just fine, so don't you worry Snowflake" I said, it was small but I could feel a flame burning inside of me. I mustered up enough strength to finally stand to my feet, it was difficult because of the tremendous amount of pain I was feeling, but I sucked it up and stood on my own two feet. "Hop on my back Snow, I'm gonna take you to some very nice people who will look after you at the castle" I told her, kneeling down enough for her to get on my back. I held her up with arms and started making my way towards the castle, it was gone be a long treck up, but I know the other's will be able to hold off that bug bitch just long enough for me to get there.

"Mr. Thomas, I-I can't stop shaking" Snow said, I could probably guess she was still scared right now, which was understandable, so I had to come up with something to calm her down.

"H-Hey uh, don't look around at all the scary stuff, just stare at the back of my head and keep holding onto me. I promise that no matter what, I won't let anyone lay a finger on you" I said, she slowly nodded and held on tighter. "I know you must be terrified right now Snow, heck, I myself am pretty terrified too" I said.

"Then why do you look so calm?" Snow asked.

"I don't really know how to put it, I guess you can say I'm already used to being in scary situations" I said. "You see Snow, I have fought many things that your people have considered terrifying, but I swallowed my fear and gained the courage to do what needed to be done. I used to be a regular person before I came to this world, I was actually a nobody back home, but the moment I came to this world I was immediately thrusted into a life of adventure and honestly, I don't want it to end. I've met and befriended so many people here that I don't think I would ever want to leave this place... my friend's are what actually keep me going, without them I'd be... lost" I said, accidentally going on a rant.

"So the reason you're so calm right now, is because of your friends?" Snow asked and I nodded. "Can... can we be friends?" She asked.

"What are you talking about?" I questioned and a look of worry came over Snow's face. "We're already friends aren't we?" I asked and I could feel her hugging me as I walked. "When we get there, I'm gonna let you down near a very pretty lady with rainbow hair okay" I said and Snow nodded, though she still looked scared about everything going on around us. "Hey Snow, how about I sing you a special song that makes you more brave just from listening to it?" I suggested, this seemed to pique her interest.

"W-Will it really make you brave?" Snow asked.

"Of course, it may sound a little sad at first but I promise it'll make you more brave than me" I said which made her really interested. "So you wanna hear?"

"Y-yes please" Snow said and I couldn't help but chuckle at how shy she was being right now. My throat was still a little hoarse and hurt slightly, but I promised the little lady a song so I have to deliver. I cleared my throat and took a deep breath before starting.

I started out slow with the song before getting to tempo and sang at full volume. Snow was immediately entranced by the lyrics of the song and stared at me with wonder, the more that I sang, the more I started hearing the sounds of a guitar and jangling chains that matched my footsteps. I looked at the castle and it felt like I was about to fight the final boss for the last time, I took a peek behind me only to see Snow sound asleep on my back with a small smile on her face.

"There ain't grave, can hold my, body down" I finished singing and took notice I was now in front of the castle, it was oddly confusing since I only walked for a couple of minutes up the street. Pushing my confusion to the side, I made my way past the broken gates and walked towards the front entrance. All I could see was bodies on top of bodies around the area, thankfully I didn't see Blazing or Silver on the floor so I could only assume those two got out safely. "Okay Chrysalis, hope you're ready for round two" I said before walking into the castle.

3rd P.o.v- Throne Room

"How... how are you here?" Jackson questioned as everyone stood in utter disbelief as they stared at Chrysalis, sitting on a broken throne. "Thomas... h-he was fighting you, Jay and I saw him put you through building's so how are you here!?" He demanded to know, Chrysalis laughed at how distraught Jackson was.

"Where's our friend!" Twilight demanded as well, all Chrysalis did was laugh at them then tossed over his sword an shield. A feeling of dread had washed over every present, Twilight's knees buckled and she fell to the floor in utter anguish. "Thomas?" She mumbled out as she reached over and picked up his broken shield.

"I must admit, that little boy gave me quite a scare... unfortunately, he never stood a chance, oh yeah, this was also with him before he died" Chrysalis said, finally done laughing and tossed over his phone. "The taste of despair is quite honestly the tastiest thing I've ever eaten, so please, keep it coming" she said as she continued to consume their emotions.

"Jackson, I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty sick of hearing this bitch talk" Jay said, balling up his fists to the point where he drew blood from his palm. "I may not be as strong as that form Thomas had, but I'm gonna knock her teeth in!" He shouted before grabbing Thomas' sword then hurled it with all his might at Chrysalis like a spear. She motioned her head out of the way and held a blank expression on her face, Jay sprinted towards her with the intent to kill but the moment he got close to her to throw a punch, Chrysalis caught the fist and reeled him in to bury her own punch in his gut that soon sent him flying back to the others.

"Is that really all you got Dragon boy?" Chrysalis asked as she swatted away a bolt of lightning with her magic. "So you're next then Lightning boy, hopefully you wont be as disappointing as that one" She said with a sigh before getting out of her seat, another bolt of lightning was thrown and just like last time she swatted it away but she didn't notice the man who threw it was right in front of her now with his arm cocked back. With little time to react, Chrysalis put up a small barrier just strong enough to keep her from feeling the full force of Jackson's strike.

Chrysalis was pushed back a few feet away, but she was able to get her bearings in order and send her own attack to nullify Jackson's attack. The shock wave from the two fists colliding made the window behind her shatter come and blow back some wind.

"I'm gonna make you pay for everything you've done" Jackson growled as sparks of electricity bounced off his body, the white part of his eye turned yellow while his pupil shrunk to pinpricks, and yellow flames oozed out from the sides of his eyes and finally his arms were coated in electricity. "I ain't no push over when it comes to fighting, so Im confident I can take over from where Thomas had left off"

"Jackson... where did this-?"

"Remember when I asked to leave early all those times during the three months Thomas was asleep?" Jackson asked Celestia who nodded. "Each time I would go out and train till my body goes completely numb, to the point were my speed recovery is pushed to its limits" Jackson explained, clenching fists.

"So that's what Vie was talking about *cough*... she said you would come back full of bruises and scratches almost every night" Jay said, sitting up while holding his stomach. "To think you were training that hard"

"I was pissed off when I realized I wasn't strong enough to protect everyone... I would tell myself everyday, 'if you were just a bit stronger, no one would have to get hurt'. When I was too afraid to fight Discord, Thomas didn't even hesitate to go blow for blow with him, even if he wasn't as strong as us" Jackson said, quickly creating a lightning staff. "I never felt so helpless... but now, I think I can finally put my foot in the same race as Thomas, I'm gonna tear this bitch a new hole"

"Do you honestly believe you can measure up to that beast" Chrysalis retorted and Jackson glared at her. "That strike was like a feather compared to that man's fist, his was as if a mountain had hit me each time it connected... I'll be completely honest, I got lucky when I beat him" Chrysalis said as she got back to her feet as if nothing had happened, shocking not only Jackson but everyone else.

"Applejack... is she telling the truth?" Celestia asked and the mortified look on her face told her everything. "Lord's above... Jackson, we have to get out of here!"

"It's fine Celestia, that punch was just a warm up... I'll have her see what I'm really made of" Jackson said and zoomed towards her then swung his staff horizontally, hitting the womans side and sending her flying to the wall nearby. She ripped herself out of the wall and elbowed Jackson in the face before giving him a hard right then grabbed him by the throat and threw him across the throne room. As he flew through the air, Jackson recovered and threw three bolts of blue lightning that traveled faster than his yellow ones.

Chrysalis barely dodged the bolts of blue lightning but each one did graze her. The spots that it grazed rendered them numb and sent small shocks of electricity through her body, however it seemed to barely faze her. Jackson was quick to throw more of the blue bolts at her making Chrysalis dodge, not noticing that Jackson had rode one of the bolts od lightning and delivered a hard kick to the side of her head which plummeted her towards the ground with a hard thud.

Chrysalis shot back up almost instantaneously and grabbed his leg before slamming him against the floor with a sicking smack. She then hurled him through the air towards a nearby wall to which he broke through, then Chrysalis flew over and threw him back towards the others.

Jackson recovered and threw three more bolts of lightning at Chrysalis which seemed to actually hit her this time. She screamed in pain for only a moment, but then glared at Jackson. Finally getting annoyed, Chrysalis used her magic to summon a katana sword in her hands, when she unsheathed it, the groups saw that the blade was completely pitch black with a lime green edge and had a pattern that made it look like it was cracking.

"Fancy sword, though I think you're gonna need more than-" Jackson stopped when his instincts threw him to the right just as Chrysalis was about to slash him. "Whoa... I barely picked up on that, how did you-"

"Little boy, I'll tell you this once, you can't and won't ever beat me" Chrysalis stated. "Your form may be powerful, but if you don't know how to use it then it's basically useless, I bet this is your first time using it"

"Shut it!" He yelled then pounced at her, quickly throwing a hard left towards her face but she caught it and kneed him in the face. He flew back before crashing to the ground and spat up some blood. "What... what just happened?" Jackson question, his question was answered by Chrysalis' sword going through his right shoulder.

"You lost, thats what happened" Chrysalis said and twisted the blade causing Jackson to cry out in pain. "I'll admit that you are strong, but you're not strong enough to beat me. The only person that can defeat me, is currently dead"

"I wouldn't be too sure about that Chrysalis"

P.o.v- Thomas

"If I was dead, then how am I talking to you right now?" I asked the woman who snapped her head towards me, her face as pale as the moon. "What's the matter, you look like you've seen a ghost"

"I killed you" Chrysalis said in disbelief.

"You almost killed me, but all it took was one little girl to help me remember what I'm fighting for" I said as I finally stepped into the destroyed throne room, everyone now turned to look at me with hope in their eyes. "Sorry I'm late guy's, but almost dying really tires you out"

"I cant *sniff* I can't believe you're alive!" Twilight cried.

"Geez, dont scare us like that" Rainbow said, looked like she was fighting back her tears.

"Im so glad that you're okay!" Pinkie exclaimed happily then noticed something very visible. "Uhm... where are your pants... where are your clothes!?" She asked as the others now noticed that I was naked, making the girls turn red when they looked down.

"... Wow" Applejack mumbled.

"That's rather *ahem* impressive" Rarity remarked.

"It's... oh my" Fluttershy squeaked out, covering her eyes in the process.

"I don't think this is the time to admire my equipment people, we have other pressing matters to attend too" I stated but even Chrysalis was staring at my naked body.

"A man you are indeed" She mumbled to herself and bit her thumb. Chrysalis finally shaking her head out to clear her perverted thoughts. "Don't try to seduce me with your naked form!"

"Seduce you!?" I shouted but sighed at their reactions. "Snow, I need you to wake up now" I said calmly as I looked behind me, Snow grumbled a little before opening her eyes slowly.

"Mr. Thomas, where are we?" Snow asked then popped her head over my shoulder. "Is that the pretty lady with Rainbow hair?" She asked, pointing at Rainbow.

"Yup, now go over to her and stay close okay" I told her to which she nodded and I let her down, but she grabbed my hand. "What's the matter?" I asked.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Snow asked and I felt my heart melt.

"I'll be just fine sweetheart, now go before you get hurt" I assured her and she slowly let go of my hand and ran over to Rainbow. "Take care of her Rainbow, I'm putting my trust in your hands" I said and she nodded.

"How's it going kid, my names Rainbow Dash, what's yours?" Rainbow asked.

"My names Snowflake, mr. Thomas was right about you ms. Rainbow, you are pretty" Snow said and made her blush a little.

"T-Thank you" Rainbow thanked then looked at me. "Pretty huh?" She teased and I chuckled.

"We can talk about that later, for now I got something I need to do" I said and summoned my sword to my hand, I walked over to Twilight and gently took the shield out her hands making her look up at me. "Everything is gonna be okay now, no need to worry anymore Twilight" I said and gave her my phone.

"You shouldn't even be breathing let alone moving, so tell me what in the hell are you!?" Chrysalis demanded to know, but I didn't answer. "Don't ignore me!" She screamed and launched at me swinging her sword as she get close to me.

"So impatient Chrysalis, are you still mad at me for killing your subjects?" I asked as I locked swords with her, my eye's turning red. "By the way, it looks like your invasion went down hill" I said pushing her back and pointed outside, she followed and could see that all the guards and the kingdoms army was either capturing or killing off the rest of the changeling soldiers. "You may have won the battle, but the war is ours to take"

"... I wouldn't be to sure about that Thomas, you see, were both in the position to make checkmate, but the question is... who's gonna make the move" Chrysalis said and shot a magic bolt at Celestia but it was blocked by a blue metal spear.

"A cheap trick for someone such as you bug" We heard someone say and we looked to see Luna with Cadance and Shining armor, only, Shining armor looked more regretful and traumatized. "Oh yes, before I forget, I killed all your soldiers in my castle so it seems that we have declared checkmate" Luna stated as she walked over to her sister and ripped her spear out of the ground.

"Thank you Luna, you came just in time" Celestia said, hugging her sister.

"Apologies for being so late, I was repelling the mind control spell placed on Capitan Armor, though he is back to normal, it seems he has went through alot in the past few months" Luna said as the two looked at the man being comforted by Cadance. "I heard about what happened here from Cadance, are you alright Thomas?" She asked then covered her eye's. "Why are you naked!?"

"Long story, but I'm glad you're safe, how'd y'all get out of the cocoons?" I asked and Luna summoned a decent size orange knife and Celestia pulled out a similar knife but it was blue.

"Birthday present" They both said and I chuckled before turning back to Chrysalis.

"Give up Chrysalis, it's over" I said and she gave a cold empty glare towards us, I suddenly felt something uneasy from the woman and readied myself.

"You know Thomas... I was so fascinated by your power's that I wanted to see what it felt like, and luckily-" She started and summoned a piece of the demons tendril, and my eyes went wide. "I get to experience it!" Chrysalis finished and I grabbed Twilight and threw her to the other's, but I wasn't able to block the punch coming straight at me. It came so fast and it felt so heavy that it made the ground crack before I even hit it.

I groaned a bit as I laid on the ground. I looked up in shock an fear seeing Chrysalis in the form I was in before, except her horns started from the front and curled around her head, her eyes glowed a dark green and her tongue grew longer so it hung out of a mouth that held her razor sharp teeth.

"This feels exquisite" She growled and slammed her foot on my chest knocking the air out of my body and I think broke a rib or two. "To hold a power in such a weak little boy is such a waste, don't worry though, I'll make great use of this power... and I think I'll start with that little girl" Chrysalis said, I choked down my grunts of pain and sprung back up to strike her down but I immediately slashed across the chest and grabbed by the face then buried me in the marble floor. "Don't worry boy, your time is coming, for now just listen to the screams of your dying friends" Chrysalis said and started towards Rainbow and Snowflake.

"S-Stay back!" Rainbow warned, getting in front of Snow.

"Stay away from them!" Jackson cried out, zooming behind her and threw a punch but she dodged it and broke his arm with a simple push up then headbutted him hard enough to knock him out. She scoffed before throwing him out the hole in the wall.

"Jackson!" Celestia shrieked, Chrysalis laughed at the devastated look on her face.

"You bitch!" Jay growled trying to go for a tackle only for him to get grabbed and take a knee to his face then a kick to the gut that launched him past the others and through a couple room's. Everyone shook in fear as the three strongest people were taken out so easily. Chrysalis finally made it infront of Rainbow and Snow though Rainbow tried to shield her.

"Don't you dare touch this little girl you heartless bitch" Rainbow growled at her, Chrysalis chuckled and grabbed her arm then dislocated it with ease, making the girl cry out in pain, causing her knees to buckle. Chrysalis grabbed Snow who was too scared to move and instantly vanished then appeared in front of the thrones with Snowflake still in her hands. "Let her go!"

"Such a delicate little thing she is, and what beautiful hair she has... I wonder how she'll look with a little blood on her face" Chrysalis said and broke her nose, Snow cried out in agony as she held her broken nose that bleed profusely. "Gorgeous... I wonder how she'll look with a missing arm"

"No! Someone help me! Please!" Snow cried as she struggled to get out of Chrysalis' grasp. Tears stream down her eyes as she felt terror beyond her imagination, and at that moment. I got pissed.

"Enough" I said, making Chrysalis stop in her tracks an look at the hole she put me in. "Get your hands off that girl" I ordered, climbing out of the hole in that inky form again only this time a quarter of my face was left uncovered.

"You do not frighten me anymore boy, I have your power and with the power I already have, I am more than powerful enough to defeat you in any form you take" Chrysalis stated then everyone felt the whole room go cold.

"That little tendril you absorbed in your body was not even half of the power given to me, since it's hard to gauge it properly right now I guess you can say I was only using... ten percent" I said which made everyone look at me in awe, then they noticed that the black ink covering me was creeping up an over the rest of me. "I told you that if it meant saving my friends, I'd gladly give up my humanity... guess it's time for me to back that statement up!" I shouted and I let the demon's power take over me, covering the right corner of my face in darkness with a little crescent eye.

3rd P.o.v

The room was silent, no one dared to move save for the man completely covered in darkness. Thomas swayed back an forth as silent as a mouse, Chrysalis was waiting for him to make a move but he made none.

"Fool, paralyzed by his own power... hmph, I guess you are worthless" Chrysalis said with a scoff and went to rip Snowflakes arm off only to see her hand was now empty. She looked around for the girl for a moment until she heard her crying behind her, Chrysalis turned and froze on the spot seeing Thomas cradling the girl in his arms. He placed a hand over her face and small black tendril gently pierced her nose, allowing Thomas to give her his fast regenerative properties which fixed up her broken nose instantaneously.

"M-Mr. Thomas... is that you?" Snowflake asked, Thomas said nothing, he only brushed her hair off her face and patted her head. "I... I wa-was so scared!" she cried out, Thomas said nothing again, only turned and started walking back to Rainbow Dash.

"That's my prey!" Chrysalis screamed, trying to get Snow back in her hands to rip her to piece's. She didn't know how or when it happened, but she was now embedded deep within the ceiling, looking down at everyone. Thomas didn't even miss a step when he struck the woman up and was able to reach Rainbow in just a few seconds.

"H-Holy shit... holy shit" Rainbow mumbled, looking up at the man who resembled the devil himself. He looked down at her, but instead of feeling scared, she felt calm under his gaze. Thomas looked at Snow and placed her down next to Rainbow before summoning his sword and shield then gave them to the girl.

"These will keep you safe" Thomas said, his voice even more deeper and distorted. Snow looked at the shield and sword then clutched them both in her hands, Thomas patted her head before turning back to Chrysalis. "Cadance" He called, getting the woman's attention.

"Y-Yes?"

Combine yours and your husband's magic... then fire it when I say, understand?" Thomas said to which Cadance became confused, but Shining Armor knew exactly what Thomas was planning.

"You will need to hold her still just long enough for us to hit her, think you can manage that?" Shining asked as Chrysalis ripped herself out of the ground an shook the ground upon touching it.

"Just be ready" Thomas told him, Shining nodded quickly explaining a combination spell to Cadance and the two began charging said spell.

"Seems we're due for a rematch little boy, this must be my lucky day, I get to kill you and those worthless piles of waste all in the same day" Chrysalis said with a horrifying laugh.

"'A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very dangerous man who has it under voluntary control'... my father would say that to me every time I would come home in bruises. He wasn't saying it because he thought I was trying to be a good man by being harmless, he was saying it because he knew how dangerous a good man like me can be" Thomas said, reaching out to his phone. A tendril shot out his hand an ripped it out Twilight's hands then retracted itself back to his hand. He looked for a moment before pressing play then threw it back to Twilight.

The song started calm, like the winds before the sounds of war took over. Chrysalis took the first step forward while Thomas stood his ground like a statue. Just as the music got a bit more intense in sound, Chrysalis flew at Thomas throwing the hardest punch she could muster at the man but the moment the drums came in, Thomas already landed the first punch.

Chrysalis flew back as her body flailed in the air, crashing against the ground each time she got close. Digging her claw into the ground, Chrysalis was able to plant herself back on her feet then rip out a fragment of the marble floor and chuck it at Thomas. He grabbed it and crushed it with ease before he dug his foot into the ground and launched at Chrysalis going at speeds too fast for anyone to see, before they knew it, Thomas had already kneed Chrysalis in the face then grabbed the back of her head and slammed it to the floor. He wasn't done yet, he used the moment he gained to dig a small trench in the ground with her face, then tossed her up and sent a barrage of jabs leaving indents on her body.

Chrysalis coughed up some black blood upon feeling said attacks land on her body. Once she recovered a bit, she summoned her sword and swung it at him, landing a solid hit across his face, leaving a large white line. Chrysalis smiled seeing her handy work, but that didn't last long when she saw the white slash mark close and all that was left on his face was the demons jagged smile. Suddenly feeling a sense of danger flood her senses, she jumped high into the air as Thomas sliced the floor with a pitch black sword made from one of his tendrils.

The sword sliced right through the ground with ease, almost like it was soft butter. Chrysalis' face paled when she saw how easily that attack was thrown, now her flight or fight instincts kicked in and it was telling her to escape now. Pushing down her fears, Chrysalis flew at Thomas, ready to spear him with her sword, ready to end this fight.

"Slow" Thomas said, appearing behind her, catching Chrysalis off guard and unable to block the foot planting itself firmly against her chest. As Chrysalis rocketed down to the ground, Thomas grew out a long tendril from his left shoulder and ripped it out, the group down below could only recognize it as some sort of spear. Thomas reeled it back then threw it with all his strength, skewering right through Chrysalis' right shoulder and made her crash right through the floor and into the crystal mines below them, which set off a a sudden chain reaction for the rest of the area.

"T-The ground is shaking!" Twilight said, the others suddenly felt the ground start shifting downward and finally noticed that the floor itself was finally collapsing inward. "We gotta get out of here!"

"Everyone grab onto me and Luna!" Celestia instructed, quickly grabbing Snowflake and Rainbow Dash. The others soon grabbed onto the two and the sister's combined their teleportation magic to get them out of there, but Cadance and Shining ran out of the room so they could continue to charge their spell. A bright flash of light appeared before vanishing just as the ground gave way after it's endless punishment.

Outside of Canterlot, 3rd P.o.v

Gilda was out looking for anyone who got lost on the way to the forest when she suddenly saw the princesses appear in front of her with The girls, Rainbow dash and Snowflake.

"Hey G" Rainbow waved then winced, feeling a sharp pain from her arm.

"Geez, all of you look terrible, where in the hell were all of you" Gilda asked, going over towards them. "And what happened to you?" She asked Rainbow.

"That bitch Chrysalis dislocated my arm, ya mind helping me pop it back in?" Rainbow asked, Gilda nodded and grabbed the girl's arm then waited for Rainbow to brace herself.

"By the way, where's Thomas?" Gilda asked.

"He's still at the castle fighting- FUCK!" Rainbow cried out, feeling Gilda pop her arm back into place. "Thanks you dick, ugh, anyways, Thomas is at the castle fighting Chrysalis... the fighting got so intense that the floor literally caved in on itself" she said, getting a jealous look from Gilda.

"Wish I could've seen it, sounds badass" She mumbled to herself, getting a chuckle from the girl. Gilda helped the others get up on their feet and started walking them towards the camp they set up in the Everfree. "By the way, a couple of guards named Featherweight, Blazing and Silver found two bodies outside the castle, said it was some people they knew"

"Did you catch the names of the two?" Celestia asked, a hint of worry coating those words. "Did one happen to be near the throne section of the castle?" She asked.

"Actually yeah, it was that big guy who was your assistant, man did he look beat up. The other guy was from the dragon race, but he woke up just as Violet went to check on him, poor guy didn't make it after that" Gilda said sorrowfully, getting the others to gasp.

"He's dead!?" Fluttershy cried out.

"What, nononono, he's just fine, though Violet was a few seconds away from putting him six feet under" Gilda said, which made everyone shudder. "Oh yeah, who's the little girl you're carrying Dash?" Gilda asked, seeing Snowflake being carried in Rainbows arms.

"This is Snowflake, it seems Thomas found her in the city and brought her to me so I could look after her" Rainbow said while Snow kept clinging to her like a child to clinging to their mother. "She's honestly adorable, and she thinks Im pretty"

"So does Thomas" Pinkie threw in making the girl blush. Luna raised an eyebrow and look to her sister for confirmation.

"I believe that is true" Celestia said, making the moon princess puff her cheeks a bit. "Dear sister, you wouldn't happen to be jealous of Rainbow Dash would you?" Celestia teased, getting her sister to give off a pink hue going across her cheeks.

"I am not, he's called me pretty plenty of times, in fact he said I was more than pretty, he said I was beautiful l" Luna said, even though Rainbow wasn't the type to get jealous, she couldn't help it this time.

"I'm sure everyone calls you beautiful princess, he told me he would stay by my side for better or worse, so he basically just confessed to me and he trusted me to look after Snow" Rainbow said, acting a bit high and mighty much to Luna's aggravation.

"Just because he said he'd be by your side doesn't mean he confessed, he probably meant it as a friendly gesture, so dont you even think it means something else!" Luna retorted getting a grimace look from Rainbow. As the two bickered back and forth over what Thomas thinks, the others were just entranced by how an all powerful princess and a girl who didn't show any signs of interest for love were trying to outdo each other over a boy.

"Princess, have you ever seen your sister act like this before?" Rarity asked in a whisper to Celestia who was holding in her laughter.

"I have not, has ms. Dash ever acted in such a way, especially since she's forgotten who she's arguing with" Celestia whispered back.

"Never, we always believed she didn't have any interest in love... that is what their arguing about right?" Fluttershy asked to which Celestia nodded.

"Well ain't that sweet, but ah think we should stop'em before they go a bit too fa-"

"He said he would introduce me to his mother first!" Twilight blurted out and everyone stopped mouths agape while staring at the bookworm.

"What?" Rainbow and Luna asked as they turned to the girl with a glare.

"Thomas told me that if they ever found a way home and can come an go freely, he said that I would be the first person he would introduce to his mother" Twilight said again, making the two girls flinch at the comment. "And he said I had a beautiful smile"

"R-Really now, that's very interesting news" Luna said, almost bending her spear.

"Very interesting news" Rainbow agreed, making a chill go over the group's spine.

"Why are you so upset about that?" Snow asked Rainbow.

"W-Well... when a boy or girl you like introduces to their family, it's a sign that they feel a special connection with you and that they trust you whole-heartedly" Rainbow explained, making the girl 'oh' at the explanation. "Kinda wished he said that to me rather than Twilight" Rainbow mumbled, the three looked at one another until they reached the little camp Jay and Jackson built for people evacuating.

"There you guys are!" The group heard Jay call out quickly getting their attention. "Glad you guys are okay, I was starting to-ah!" He cried as he felt Violet finish wrapping bandages around his wounds.

"You need to stop moving around so much, but I do have to agree that I'm glad the other's are okay" Violet said as the others came over. "You all look terrible, but from what I can tell, you all look physically fine"

"Save for me and Snowflake, by the way, you think you can look her over... she got a little hurt by Chrysalis" Rainbow said, setting the girl down.

"Well aren't you just a little cutie, come over here and let me take a look at you" Violet beckoned, but the child was a little hesitant. "It's alright sweetie, I wont bite"

"C-Can ms. Rainbow stay with me?" Snow asked, the nurse looked at Rainbow who gave a sheepish smile.

"Sure thing, it'll give me a chance to get a proper look at her as well" Violet said before getting up. "You aren't out of the woods yet mister, but for now your off the hook"

"Yes ma'am" Jay sighed in defeat as he watched his girlfriend take Snowflake to another part of the camp. "Phew, thought she was gonna kill me after coming back like I did... but on a serious note, what happened while Jackie and I were out cold?" Jay asked, his tone turning serious.

"Well, even I'm not sure how to explain what's happening... Thomas just...... let that weird power take over, it's like he's a different person but also not at the same time" Twilight said, confusing the man slightly. "It was like someone else was controlling him, but at the same time he was in control"

"That sounds... really complicated" Jay admitted. "So I'm guessing Thomas is doing fine, but how did you guys end up here?"

"When Tommy and Chrysalis were both going at it, the floor started givin' way and began collapsing in on itself" Applejack explained to him, the look on Jays face was everything but shocked.

"Probably started caving in because of those changelings burrowing holes in the crystal mines" Jay said. "Although it still would've taken an immeasurable amount of force to make even a hole, but making the whole floor cave in, son of a bitch that must've looked cool" He said getting a face palm from Twilight and Luna.

"That's not what the takeaway should be darling, Thomas was strong enough to destroy a pure marble an diamond floor almost as if it was nothing" Rarity pointed out, getting agreeable hum's from the others.

"Yes, but I want to know if Thomas is still in control of himself or not" Luna said, looking back towards the castle. "And what on earth is that unholy power he possesses, it almost resembles... no"

"Luna, something wrong?" Celestia asked, getting Luna to snap free from her thoughts.

"... No, no it's nothing, I'm just a little tired is all" Luna said and walked over to a nearby stump to sit on. She watched as the others talked more about what to do after everything was all said and done, but Luna was only thinking about Thomas. "If what he possesses really is that type of power, then he is quite possibly as strong as the one mother told me in those stories... I have to look into this further, for now... I just hope you're safe Thomas" she said before hearing a loud boom, then something that chilled everyone in the camp to the bone

".... What... in the name of Faust... was that?" Twilight asked.

Canterlot Castle, a few minutes earlier

Thomas was throwing punch after punch against the Queen, each and every one of them landing in solid places. Chrysalis was now covered in bruises and large gashes from the constant beating she was taking.

Thomas was pulling out almost all the stops when fighting her, it was like he wanted to have her feel the pain. Chrysalis did throw her own jabs and hooks at Thomas, but it seemed like it didn't even faze him, the black inky form around his body was acting almost like a suite of armor. Chrysalis felt utterly helpless at this point, nothing she did was making a dent in Thomas' defenses, she was running out of options and time. She quickly slashed his chest as deep as she could and jumped back to get some breathing room.

"This shouldn't even be possible, how are you this strong after everything I've thrown at you" Chrysalis growled at the man, Thomas stayed silent as he let the wound slowly close back up. "What the hell are you?" she asked him, again only met with silence. "FUCKIN ANSWER ME YOU BASTARD DEVIL!" she demanded as loud as she could, which blew back a few rocks and some dust past the man. Thomas didn't even flinch at the sudden roar, he simply took in a very deep breath before exhaling.

The force of the roar was so strong that it made Chrysalis get thrown back against the wall of the mines. She could hardly move from how terrifying the roar was, it reminded the woman of some sort of monster and restless souls screaming in agony. Once the roar died down she shook heavily at the after shock, she sat on her knees and panted heavily before vomiting.

"I warned you Chrysalis, now you will die here" Thomas said now walking towards her, she looked at the man with pure terror in her eyes and tried crawling away, clawing at the walls just to get anywhere that's away from Thomas.

"Thomas, we finished!" Cadance announced as the two stood at the entrance of the throne room, they looked down and saw Thomas walking towards Chrysalis. "Thomas did you hear me!?" Cadance cried out, but the words fell on deaf ear.

"Cadance... I don't think he's in control anymore" Shining said.

"Don't say that, he has to be, we just have to reach him" Cadance said, jumping down and ran towards Thomas, Shining followed suite. "Thomas, you don't have to hurt her anymore, so please stop, this isn't you!" She shouted but he didn't listen, he grew out a tendril which took its form as a sword and kicked Chrysalis on her back before firmly planted his foot on her.

"P... Please... Please..." Chrysalis begged, tears of fear falling from her eyes as she watched the man raise the black sword up. "Please..." she begged once more, he went to bring the sword down but Shining caught his arm just before he reached her neck.

"Stop... the fight is over, you've won" Shining stated, however he noticed that Thomas wasn't budging. "Can't you see that she isn't even fit to fight anymore, she lost, you won, now put down the damn sword and let us take care of-" he was cut off by the black blade going across his chest, cutting deep, but not deep enough to be fatal. he fell back against the floor and writhe in agony, yelling and hissing at the pain.

"Shining!" Cadance cried out.

"By everything holy... you truly have become a monster... was throwing your humanity, or whatever you called it, worth it?" Chrysalis asked and Thomas gave a low growl.

"You killed thousands"

"And you hurt someone close to you without even batting so much as an eye, what would your friends think if they saw what you did to my beloved shinny... what would Twilight say if she saw you cut down her own brother? Chrysalis asked seeing the smile on his face twitch slightly.

"Shut your mouth... I'm warning you" Thomas said, his voice faltering, Chrysalis saw a chance to escape and she was going to take it. "I became this.... this........ this damn thing and I wont let you.... I wont..... FUCK!" Thomas screamed, stabbing the sword next to Chrysalis' head, his form began receding back until it only covered his legs and torso. "I don't want to be a monster... I don't want to be a monster... I don't want to be a monster"

"T...Thomas" Shining called to him, Thomas looked at the man now being treated by his wife. "Don't.... Don't listen to that woman... you aren't a monster, and you'll never be a monster"

"But I hurt you, I-I-I can't just-"

"Yes you hurt me, but you protected Cadance, my sister, the princesses, your friends, hell, you saved me by knocking that mind controlling spell out of me" Shining said, yelping as he felt his wife's spell taking effect. "Who cares what other people think, they can think whatever they want because you know the real you...you are who you choose to be"

Thomas felt like a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders. He felt at peace with himself for the first time since his awakening. Cadance and Shining watched the boy slowly start tearing up and finally come back to his senses.

"How touching, but do you mind if I cut in?" They heard Chrysalis say just as Thomas' black sword was skewered right through his body. Thomas stood stock still for a moment, unable to register what had just happened at that moment. Blood seeped through his lips as he stood there, Chrysalis ripped the blade out of the boy and let him fall to ground with a wet bloody thud. "You really shouldn't turn your back to you enemy, we have a nasty habit of stabbing you in the back the first chance we get"she said smashing her foot against his right arm breaking it like a twig.

Thomas gave out soft, weak grunts as he felt the pain continue to pile up. Chrysalis kicked and stomped on the many all while laughing to her hearts content, during Shining's speech, Chrysalis slipped free from her pinned position and ripped the sword out of the ground and waited for the right moment to strike.

"I'm gonna make you watch as I kill these bastards, so you can remember their agonizing faces when you finally die" She said and started towards the two, only going about two feet before stopping when she felt something grab her leg. Chrysalis looked down to see the ink black hand gripping away at her thigh, the woman scoffed at this and kicked the hand away. However, she was able to move any further because of the hand that was still grabbing her. "How many times must I kill you, just to get you out of my hair?"

"....... I'm..... very stubborn" Thomas choked out, his wound trying to heal as fast as it can. "My body... just wont... let me... die" he said, coughing up some more blood.

"Thomas...." Cadance said breathlessly.

"You were fun to play with at first... but now you've grown to be just plain annoying, you worthless sack of shit" Chrysalis said but Thomas worked up enough strength to chuckle. "Something funny you pile of waste?" she asked.

"Nothing too funny....... but it seems you forgot about my healing abilities" Thomas said, the woman looked confused until she saw the stab wound almost finish closing up. Before she could make another move, Thomas jumped up to his feet and wrapped himself around the woman, quickly using all his might and all his tendrils to hold the woman in place. "DO IT NOW!"

"But if you get hit, then you'll disappear just like Chrysalis!" Cadance exclaimed but he did care.

"I SAID DO IT, I CANT HOLD HER FOREVER!" Thomas cried out as Chrysalis began struggling to break free. Cadance was hesitant to go through with this, but Shining sat up from his spot and gave her a reassuring smile. With heavy hearts, the two quickly charged the spell up and aimed it right at Chrysalis and Thomas.

"YOU DAMN FOOL, IF YOU GET HIT WITH THAT BLAST, THEN YOU BE TURNED TO NOTHING AND WONT EVER SEE YOUR FRIENDS AGAIN!" Chrysalis cried out but Thomas kept his grip on her.

"Shining, Cadance!" Thomas called out to the two. "This is goodbye for now, but tell the others that no matter what may happen, I WILL find my way back, thats a promise!" He exclaimed and the two nodded then readied themselves. "LET'S GO TO HELL TOGETHER CHRYSALIS!!!" He shouted and gave out a hearty laugh.

Shining and Cadance fired their spell, letting the pink beam fly towards Thomas and Chrysalis at high speeds until it engulfed the two. The beam went off for a few minutes until it finally subsided, Shining and Cadance were completely exhausted from that spell, it was something that was never attempted before, but it worked and all that was left was a massive hole going right through the crystal mines. The two were astonished at their handiwork until they realized that Thomas was no longer standing in front of them anymore.

"What will the other's say?" Shining questioned, though neither could really answer it.

"We'll... tell them what he told us, 'I will find my way back'" Cadance said and Shining snorted softly. "I guess we should started heading back towards the others"

"Yeah, it's gonna be really hard telling Twily about Tho-"

"U-Uhm... e-excuse me?" A soft, scared voice announced itself. The couple looked at where it came from and were shocked to find a naked woman with light teal skin, long emerald green hair and golden eyes stood before them. though that wasn't the only thing that shocked them. "D-Do you know where I am… and where my mother Faust is?" The mysterious woman asked as she unfurled her wings and made sure her horn was intact. After everything they have gone through, they were able to handle this situation very well.

"YOUR MOTHER IS FAUST!?"
