The Two Armies

"This is not a drill," Twilight called in a magically magnified voice as the residents of Ponyville rushed to the castle in droves "Grab what you can and hurry to the castle, A portal to the Crystal Empire has been opened, Exacuate, an attack is imminent!" Twilight took a breath "I repeat, This is not a drill!" as Twilight continued calling out the warning to evacuate Starlight and Applejack were sitting in the Cutie map room with their special guest Thorax. The rest of the main 6 were helping in the evacuation. The two were a little tense as they told Thorax the story, he was far more relaxed, tho understandably not in the best mood.

"-and then Cadance took her to the Empire and that's the last time we saw Trixike," Thorax scratched his chin.

"So it's a she?"

"I dunno," Applejack replied without hesitation "I wasn't willing to fact check it,"

"Fair," Thorax replied, "it was already accusing you of trying to kill it, so having it scream that you tried to sexual assault it-"

"Thorax please," Starlight begged as she cut him off "We need to focus, Chrysalis has Trixike, Trixike can make an endless army of monsters with just a few plants and insects," Starlight pointed out the window "And they are without a doubt in the Castle of the two sisters, and just to make it worse we can't go to them because all Trixike needs is one little bug to fly by and she can make a mega monster just with the surrounding trees," Starlight rubbed the bridge of her nose. "And we can't talk her down because Chrysalis almost certainly turned into Cadance, so Cadance, Shining Armor, Luna, and Fluttershy can't be involved if we want the reformation process we started to get going again," Before she could keep going Applejack stopped her.

"Starlight your panicking and rambling again," She turned back to Thorax "So you heard the story, you know what she can do and you know what Chrysalis would do and say, do you understand your part of the plan?"

"Yes," Thorax said "And It is terrible if what you told me is true the second I do this she will try and kill me, then every single other thing she sees, and I'm almost certain if it does work Chrysalis will inject them, her, it with the toxin, and I don't wanna be the focus of its anger when it goes from crazy to mega super lord crazy,"

"We just have to detain Chrysalis before you-" The Door to the Cutie map room swung open and Twilight made her way in, with her was Rainbow Dash and Discord.

"Alright," Twilight said as she made her way to her throne "Rarity is staying in the empire to keep an eye of the CMC, Fluttershy is currently leading every one of her Animal friends threw the portal, and Pinkie is trying to keep morale high with an evacuation party," Discord Took Fluttershys seat and Rainbow took her's, Thorax was sitting in Pinkies and Starlight in Rarities.

"My, aren't we an interesting bunch," Rainbow said with a smile.

"Alright, Discord your with Thorax, stay invisible and when the time comes, teleport him and you the fuck away from Trixike, Starlight you and Applejack are to go after Trixike, keep her attention while I go after Chrysalis, once shes down Thorax you do your best to make Trixike blow a gasket, from there we wait till she runs her batteries dry, Ponyville will experience heavy damage but this way we take two threats down at once, any questions?"

"Yeah," Thorax said with a raised hoof "Can we come up with a less idiotic plan?"

"By all means, Thorax, do you have a better idea?"

"No," Thorax replied, having been trying to think of one "But come on, you have to admit that having me-" a Loud Caterwail cut Thorax off and taking this as his cue Discord turned both himself and Thorax invisible.

"Oh this is weird," Thorax could be heard saying as the rest of the table go up and made a run for the Castle doors.

"Why isn't Celestia here?" Applejack demanded to look back to Twilight.

"The Evacuation sent both the evacuees and most of the Crystal empire into somewhat of a panic, she's having a hell of a time trying to help Cadance both calm the empire, and stop the citizens of Ponyville from rushing back here and trying to help defend their homes," Twilight blasted the doors open with magic and the 4 slid to a halt at the top of the castle steps, Unreformed Changelings where surrounding the town, and at the forest edge they saw Palrabtus with what they figured was Chrysalis, the distance made it somewhat impossible to accurately tell but it was a fair guess.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle," Chrysalis said with a smile, she was using the same Voice Magnification spell she had heard her using as they had started the advance "I'm honestly rather honored, you empty you town just so me and my children, my loyal children, can have a nice peace full place to live," She smiled "And you even brought me my least favorite creature, hello Starlight Glimmer," Starlight did her best to stare down the Changling Queen before she added "And judging from your attire, you must be The Hat, Trixike is very excited to see you,"

"Oh enough of this," Twilight grumbled in irritation before teleporting the 4 to the edge of Ponyville so they could actually talk back. "Listen up Chrysalis, you, your army of Changling and Stupidly named monsters, And Trixike all surrender now," She expected some witty comeback, instead she got an eye roll.

"Stupid doesn't even begin to cover their names," She said bluntly before adding "And do you really expect me to submit to 4 ponies when I literally have Two Armies?"

"Not that much of an army," Rainbow shot back "I mean yeah you got a lot of guys up there," She looked at the swarm of Changling buzzing overhead before pointing to Palrabtus, "But I count one Crab, and I'm sure that Flower thing is back, but unless you've done some serious work I doubt-" Chrysalis smiled and willed Palrabtus to start clicking her pinchers like crazy, suddenly a huge section of the forest behind Chrysalis was swiped away, The TrsaWajor stood proud in the clearing it had made, as it moved forward the Chimagodines Rushed between its legs and came to a stop next to Chrysalis. The TrsaWajor came to a stop just as the Mega Flower came into view with Trixike riding atop it with a grin on her face.

"Oh Cadance is gonna be so proud of me when I bring her your corpse!" Rainbow opened her mouth and Chrysalis smiled when Twilight used magic to shut her friend's mouth and said in a rather convincing voice.

"Cadance, the Evil Alicorn that stole you before we could properly punish you?"

"Hu," Chrysalis said as she looked at Twilight's smile "Alright I give you that one, good thing the only thing hanging on that was the backup plane, Attack!" Rainbow took to the air and began a somewhat one-sided battle with the Changling forces. Twilight rushed Chrysalis and Palrabtus while the rest of the monsters began running to Starlight and Applejack, who ran back into two and split up, Applejack stuck to the main street while Starlight when down one an alleyway, Trike and the Mega Flower followed Starlight, The Chimagodines Went after Applejack, and the TrsaWajor took one step inside the town and got stuck in a house, it then began attacking every building close to it, leading it on a path of random destruction. Applejack was running as fast as she could from the Chimangodines, the Goat head breathing a torrent of fire at her as she ran.

"Get the hat!" The Sabertooth Tiger head said to the Snake vine Tail, the Snake lashed out, almost reaching Applejack who kicked it into high gear as she ran.

"Great, like you three, weren't bad enough before," She called back to it.

"Have me met?" The Sabertooth asked in confusion.

"Yeah, I kicked your ass and left you stuck in a tree!" Applejack took a sharp turn and the Chimangodines rushed onward as it tried to stop, Applejack reached into her saddlebag and groaned in realization.

" I took all Chimera gear out and replaced it with first aid junk," She said angrily as she pulled a roll of Bandages out from where her flute had been "shit," she said as she ran back into view and saw that the Chimangodines had slid to a stop and it's heads where arguing.

"Where did the hat go?" The Tiger demanded.

"I turned," The Goat said to its sister.

"Come on, the faster we catch it the faster we find out what Ricotta is, Queen Trixike said we like it,"

"Queen?" Applejack demanded getting their attention "Dammit all like she wasn't full of it already,"

"She's talking bad about Queen Trixike," The Tiger said angrily.

"Get her!" The Goat agreed as they charged at her again, Applejack waited till they where close then ducked back into the Alley and waited a second before walking back, the Chimagodiens began slowing down and she shook her head.

"It may not be the brightest thing to fight," She said as she began running towards the market, "But I am,"

Twilight was having a small problem, Chrysalis wasn't all that troubling to fight, but Palrabtus was giving the Queen an edge in the fight and forcing Twilight to doge out of the way of Giant Cactus needled, it only got worse when TrsaWajor started getting closer to them, it's random destruction leading it in their direction.

"I'm gonna fucking kill Discord for helping Trixike make this dam crab!" Twilight said angrily as she flew around Palrabtus, dodging both needles and magical blasts, she fired a blast and the crab held up its claw in front of Chrysalis and tanked it.

"Alright, if I want to take you down, I need to take the Crab down first," Twilight changed gears and flew at the crab, landing underneath it before blasting its underbelly, Palrabtus was sent flying and Chrysalis took to the sky just in time for Rainbow Dash to tackle her and slam her into the ground, the two bounced upon landing and Twilight rushed to them.
"Chain up the Pscho before check in on me," Rainbow said from the ground, Twilight jumped over her friend and cast a spell Celestia had taught her after Trixike had been caught the first time. Golden chains erupted from her horn and wrapped Chrysalis up nice and tight, canceling out her magic. The second her magic was stopped Palrabtus blinked, no longer hypnotized and looked to the group before attacking all three indiscriminately. With little ease Twilight put up a shield and picked Palrabtus up with her magic, the crab blinked at her before being thrown back into the Evergreen forest, it let out an angry Caterwail as it flew threw the air, as it flew a Golden bracelet fell to the ground, it had multiple empty glass vias sticking out of it. Twilight helped Rainbow up and after confirming she had done nothing more than twist her ankle the two made their way to Chrysalis, Rainbow limped to the Queen and laughed as she looked up at the empty sky.

"Sent your loyal children running with ease," She said, "And took your ass down in one hit, not really your day is it?"

"Oh screw off, none of us have eaten in weeks, of course, you kicked our asses, that's why I brought Trixike,"

"Yeah, yeah, come on Twilight lets-" Rainbow was cut off as two different things happened, The TrsaWajor made it to their location and saw Chrysalis tied up, and Palrabtus returned, her eyes glowing Orange and foaming at the mouth as she constantly shot thorns out in every location, the two monsters both let out a yowl, Palrabtus running to Twilight, and the TrsaWajor running to Chrysalises aid. "-Twilight if I die tell the others it was because of stupidity not because I was injured,"

Applejack arrived at the Market place, the Chimangodines still chasing after her in hot pursuit, Applejack took cover and it slowed to a walk, upon arriving where she had hidden from view they found she was gone.

"Queen Trixike was right, The Hat is troublesome," The Goat muttered, all three heads began looking around in different directions for their quarry. As they looked around Applejack did her best to keep quiet, having ducked into the booth they were now standing in front off, she almost yelled out in shock when Discord materialized next to her. Seeing the problem he held up his Lion paw, now covered in an oven mitt and gave a muffled snap, a fair way away from them something crashed at the Chimangodines rushed to the noise.

"Need a hand?" he asked.

"you're supposed to be with Thorax," She shot back.

"Yes I am still with Thorax, one of the perks of being a god, I can multitask," He looked over at the Chimangodines, who was tearing a booth to pieces in search of Applejack. he had sparkled in his eyes when he saw the Snake tail.

"Is that one of my Plunder vines," he asked crying a little "Look at how Chaotic it is, oh Applejack, don't tell Fluttershy I said this but I'm so happy Trixike exists, oh I just wanna put her on a leash and take her home with me," as Discord admired the Chimangodines another him materialized next to Applejack.

"Don't mind that sap, how are we taking this creep down?" Applejack and the second Discord looked over to counter edge and she pointed to a booth that was two away from the Chimangodines, It had a few Kinds of cheese on display, tho it had been mostly emptied by its owner just like most of the other booths had when the Evacuation order had started.

"I need to get to that booth, can you distract the-" Both of the Discords disappeared and appeared on either side of the Chimandodines, making it jump back in surprise, they where both Dressed as matching suits.

"Ah hello, Ma'ams," One of the Discords greeted "how might we help you?" The Chimangodines looked at him suspiciously before the Snake asked politely.

"We're looking for the Hat so we can crush her, have you seen her?"

"Oh my, you are just the cutest thing," One of the Discords said as a third Discord appeared in a booth next to them.

"Hat you say, what kind of hat?" He snapped his fingers and the booth was covered outside and in with hats, "Chef hat, Deliver Colt hat, Top Hat?" The Creatures looked at the hats before talking with each other.

"What color was The Hats Hat?" The Goat asked.

"I think it was brown?" The Snake replied

"No, it was blue," The Tiger said confidently "with Stars on it!"

"That's not Hat's hat, that's Queen's hat," The Goat shot back "Hat's hat was smaller," As this was going on Applejack had made it to the Cheese stand and found what she was looking for, she rummaged in her bag, pulled out a Vial and poured it over it before jumping out and whistling for their attention.

"That's Hat!" The Chimangodines called out.

"Well happy I could help," The Three Discords said in unison before disappearing. The Three were about to charge her when she held up her prize.

"I present to you, Ricotta!" She tore it into chunks and tossed it masterfully as the Goats head, the second it entered her mouth her eyes sparkled as she started chewing, Applejack tossed the rest and the Tiger caught it.

"Hey," The snake complained as the two chewed "I wanna try it," The Goat looked back to respond when it eyes suddenly clouded over, followed by the Tiger, after a second the two heads slumped over and their body dropped to the ground as they fell asleep and Applejack laughed.

"Littel known fact," She said as she pulled out an empty bottle "Cough Syrup knocked Cragodiles right out," She smiled when the Snake hissed at her. "Oh give it up, what are you gonna-" Suddenly the entire back end of the Chimangodines turned into a whirling storm of Vines, Applejack took a step back as it formed into a giant version of the Snake, who dragged her unconscious sisters behind her with ease as she slithered to Applejack. "That is just plain not fair," Applejack said as the Giant Snake loomed above her.

"You know what else isn't fair," The Snake asked as it reared it's head back "Not giving me any Ricotta!" The Snake Struck and Applejack jumped to the side and ran back to where she had come from, The Snake hissed at her and followed after her, destroying most of the Booths as she did so.

"I didn't even give them actual Riccota!" Applejack yelled back "It was Gorgonzola, And it was drugged!"

"I Don't care I wanted to try some!" The Snake yelled back.

Starlight ran, she didn't have to try to hard to get away from Trixike as she was having some serious problems controlling the Mega Flower, which kept tripping over barrels and boxes. Every time it fell Trixike was sent flying, she'd then run back, wait for the Mega Flower to get back up, saddle back up and continue the chase. The only reason Starlight hadn't already defeated her or ditched her was because she was sticking to Twilight's plan. As she ran around Thorax and Discord watched from above.

"Well Applejacks situation is worse now," Discord comment "Tho now the Goat can't breathe fire at her, Chrysalis has been chained but now Palrabtus and TrsaWajor are attacking both them and each other,"

"TrsaWajor?" Thorax asked as Starlight continued leading Trixike in a circle.

"Timber Wolf, Ursa Major," Discord said "It's adorable, but back to business it's time to set plan 'this is totally gonna fail' into motion,"

"For the record," Thorax said as Discord wrapped him up in golden rope "This was Twilight's idea," Thorax transformed and Discord made his presence known to both Trixike and Starlight.

"Starlight, We caught Chrysalis," He called shaking Thorax disguised as Chrysalis.

"Mega Flower attack the Discord!" Trixike demanded, she was instantly dropped to the ground as the Flower climbed up a wall, Discord tossed 'Chrysalis' to Starlight and ran out of sight of Trixike, as soon as the Mega Flower made it to him he snapped and it was frozen in place.

"Sorry but I have to see this mess," he said as he turned invisible and watched as Trixike stood her ground with Starlight holding 'Chrysalis' up before her.

"You ok?" Trixike asked.

"Um...yes," Thorax replied, not sure how Chrysalis talked or treated Trixike. "Pretty ok save the tied up part," Starlight inwardly groaned at the plan before saying her line.

"You see Trixike this is...magic truth-telling rope," Saying it aloud it sounded even dumber than when Twilight had come up with the plan. "whoever is wrapped up in it if forced to answer any question you ask them honestly," Trixike squinted at Chrysalis before calling out.

"What do you think of my monster names?" Thorax thought back to the Name TrsaWajor and answered honestly.

"They're pretty fucking stupid," Trixike let out a gasp.

"Oh no, it actually works! Don't worry Trixike forgives you, she overheard you complaining about them a few times," She puffed out her chest "But Don't worry, Trixike will save you, Cadane would be mad if I let her friend get hurt,"

"Cadance and I aren't actually friends," Thorax said, really wishing he wasn't the one telling her this, Trixike deflated a little at that and blinked.

"But...but Cadance,"

"It was a lie," Thorax called back "And I used a Special spell to trick you into thinking I was Cadance after I stole you from her Dungeon," Starlight was ready for Trixike to blow a gasket, instead she looked genuinely hurt.

"You...you lied to me?" She asked tearing up a little "But...but..." As she started crying her face started turning red as her rage at being lied to again overshadowed how hurt the entire situation made her feel. "Everyone lies to Trixike, No one wants to be my friend they just want to use her!" Trixike charged up a blast and Discord Teleported Thorax away, Starlight stood her ground when Trixike suddenly froze as he eyes went white, the shimmer of an illusion spell wearing off appeared around her neck and the Golden collar with the Toxin was seen by Starlight before she could react the Orang Toxin was injected and the Golen Collar fell to the ground empty. Starlight began backing away as Trixike's eyes turned orange and she started foaming at the mouth, then her body started convulsing.

Twilight was having a hell of a time keeping her shield up, inside it was herself, Rainbow, the chained Chrysalis, and Applejack who was panting on the ground, Before them The TrsaWajor and Chimangodines Snake tail were battling it out with Palrabtus, trying to make it see reason the only way they knew how by beating the living shit out of it. Twilight watched as the TrsaWajors leg was destroyed and in a spiral galaxy like motion pulled itself back together, Palramtus lost a leg and started regrowing a new one before the old one had even hit the ground.

"These are some OP as motherfuckers," Rainbow said as she watched them fight, the Chimangodines was about to strike at Palrabtus when it froze, looking at the town. As she did this TrsaWajor sent Palrabtus flying back into the forest, having finally gotten a good hit and turned to the shield before stopping, looking at Ponyville shocked, and began cowering in fear as it started backing up.

"What the hell are they-" Twilight question was answered when she turned back to the town, A Massive creature was growing in the middle of the Town, A Pair of massive wings extended as Trixike Towered over even Twilight's castle and let out a yowl that caused Twilights shield to start shattering before raising a massive hand and in one swipe destroying over a quarter of Ponyville plunging the entire town into a cloud of dust and rubble. With a Snap Discord Landed in the dome, holding bot Thorax and Starlight in either hand like Scared luggage.

"Sweet Celestia," Twilight muttered as Trixike let out another yowl before unleashing a torrent of Fire that blanketed the entire town in fire and Smoke, Twilight readied herself as the cloud of Smoke and debris washed over her shield and exaggerated the cracking, Trixikes monster had turned tail and run the second she had screamed out, even then they were still blasted sky high when they were hit by the smoke cloud. The group stood in silence as Trixike began destroying the very foundation of Ponyville.

"Alright," Twilight said, sweating as she looked back to the group "New Plan,"
