"You disgust me Chrysalis!" Screamed Starlight.

Suddenly Applejack came running into the room with the rest of the Mane Six. With a half-asleep Rainbow Dash. Even though they were tired they were ready for a fight.

"Where's Twilight?" Asked Pinkie Pie.

Starlight's ears sprung up like a bunny, "Shes's uh well..."

"Well, apparently Starlight and Twilight were making out or something and then when Chrysalis barged in uninvited, Twilight well fake Twilight now, turned into a Changeling," said Applejack. The rest of the Mane six gasped.

"Are you sure that happened?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"Hey! You know I ain't no liar!" Exclaimed Applejack scowling at Pinkie.

"No silly I mean Starlight and Twilight making out? Did that actually happen?" Replied Pinkie.

"Oh yea that actually happened, didn't it Starlight?" Said Applejack giving her a smug look.

Applejack always got on Starlight's nerves for some reason more than Pinkie. "You're cruel Applejack! That's noponies business but mine and Twilights" Snapped Starlight her face turning a deep red.

"So it did happen then?" Said a half-asleep Rainbow Dash.

"....Yes alright there is your answer, yes I made out with Twilight, well a fake one at that," said Starlight her face was now redder than a Red Giant. Starlight felt ashamed now the fact she gave away a perfectly good confession to a fake Twilight rubbed her the wrong way. Rarity went to comfort Starlight, putting her hoof around Starlight.

"Don't worry Starlight we won't judge you! But for right now we need to deal with this vile creature!" Exclaimed Rarity.

"Awww, That's so sweet Starlight has some feelings for the princess. Huh? Don't you Starlight Glimmer?" Exclaimed Chrysalis hissing at Starlight.

"Yes I do have feelings for Twilight and I will do everything in my power to find her and set things straight!" Snapped Starlight, she raised up on her hind legs and fired a beam at Chrysalis knocking her back a bit. Changelings moved in on the six ponies.

"Augh!" Exclaimed Chrysalis as she struggled to maintain her balance.

"LEAVE NOW! HEAD OVER TWILIGHT!!! OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!!!" Yelled Starlight.

"Ahhhh your love is so extensive!" Said Chrysalis licking her lips as her minions hissed the six ponies backing them back into a corner.

"Extensive that's an interesting word to use in this context?" Snapped Starlight.

The Changelings began to hiss more intensely spurring their spit all over the ponies.

"Awk! Gross!" Yelled Pinkie Pie flicking the saliva off her hooves. Some saliva hit a Changeling in the eye causing the Changeling to spazz out and a gap formed for the six ponies to flee.

"You could've just teleported us?" Snapped Rainbow Dash.

"I'm Sorry jeez I'm under a lot of pressure right now! Also, we are not fleeing we are going to stand our ground!" Exclaimed Starlight.

"What?! Are you crazy!" Replied Rainbow Dash.

"No, I'm not crazy but don't you guys have friendship magic or something!!! You used it to defeat Sombra!? Why not use it now?!" Said Starlight. The six ponies ran into a large room, they closed and barricaded the door with chairs and a desk.

"That's not gonna work Star!" Said Fluttershy.

"I know but here listen..."

"No, you listen!" Snapped Applejack. "We can't use our "friendship magic" because there are only five of us, you know who missing... your little marefriend Twilight!"

"Well I'm sorry Applejack but I didn't know that I've only saved Equestria once while y'all have saved Equestria countless times!" Replied Starlight yelling at AJ.

"Star just calm down, we need to think of a plan and quick!" Exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

"No Applejack needs to calm down!" Replied Starlight.

"Everypony STOP!" Yelled Rarity. AJ and Star stopped fighting and the rest of the ponies looked at Rarity. "We need to think of a plan okay like Rainbow Dash said, "We need to think of a plan and quick!" Okay so let's work together we can never go wrong with teamwork!" Said Rarity.

"Rarity is right everypony......"

"Yea no....."

"Applejack!" Rarity gave Applejack a stern look signaling her to stop arguing with Starlight.

Suddenly the door was rattling. The Changelings were shaking the door violently! "Ugh, you fools! Move!" Demanded Chrysalis. Chrysalis used her magic to blow up the door.

"What's the plan everypony?!" Asked a worried Rainbow Dash.

"Stand our ground!" Replied Starlight.

The six ponies charged at Queen Chrysalis and her minions. Starlight fired a laser beam at Chrysalis. Chrysalis did the same and the laser met causing the Treehouse to shake. Everypony and Changeling stopped to look at Starlight and Chrysalis. Starlights beam was slowly starting to overcome Chrysalis. Chrysalis began to worry, some droplets of sweat shimmered down her dark grey fleshy skin. Chrysalis looked at one of the Changelings who was watching she nodded her head and the Changeling turned into Twilight. The Changeling soon made a dramatic entrance to get Starlight off her guard.

"Starlight!!!" yelled the fake Twilight.

"Twilight? Twilight!" yelled Starlight her beam was slowly shorter and shorter as Chrysalis went full throttle with her magic. Fake Twilight fell on the ground limping, bruises and blood covered her.

"What did you do to her!" Demanded Starlight.

"Oh a little torture here and little torture there nothing the princess of friendship couldn't handle, Hahahahaaaahaa!" Replied Chrysalis. The fake Twilight grabbed Starlight's forehoof and moaned in pain.

"Starlight, Oh Starlight you foolish fool," said the fake Twilight. Starlight looked deep into Twilight purple eyes. She realized it was a trick but it was too late.

"Get off of me you heathen!" Shouted Starlight kicking the Changeling off of her. The fake Twilight turned back into a Changeling and hissed at Starlight. Chrysalis beam got closer and closer to Starlight's horn and then.....BOOM! Starlight was flung up in the air and landed on the hard crystalline ground.

"STARLIGHT!" Said Applejack running to Starlight's aid with the girls following behind.

"Run."

"What?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Run." "FInd Twilight." "That is my only request," whispered Starlight.

"But...."

"No but's, find Twilight and run!"

"Awww looks like the lil ponies are sad awww, well I will cut you a deal!" Demanded Chrysalis

"No Chrysalis..."

Chrysalis put her hoof over Applejacks mouth. "Ahh ahh ahh, you don't even know what the deal is!"

Applejack removed Chrysalis hoof. "I don't need...."

"If you hand over Starlight Glimmer I will give you Twilight Sparkle, the real Twilight Sparkle.

"We will never..."

"Shush you pathetic blue pegasus!" Shouted Chrysalis.

Applejack thought for a minute, her body language told the other's she was considering this deal.

"Applejack, no darling you can't consider..."

"Rarity it might be for the greater good! I know what I'm doing," whispered Applejack.

"Starlight and the rest of the girls aren't going to like what I'm about to say," thought Applejack.

"We will hand over Starlight in exchange for the real Twilight Sparkle.

"No Applejack, what are you thinking, Starlight is our friend, friends don't betray one another!" Shouted Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash listen to me," said Applejack putting her hooves around Rainbow's face. "We are going to get Twilight and then defeat Chrysalis and take back Equestria!" Whispered Applejack.

"I hope this turns out that way your planning this because we have only one shot at this Applejack!" Replied Rainbow Dash.

"So yes we will hand over Starlight Glimmer and now give us our Twilight, not a Changeling in disguise!" Snapped Applejack.

"Good, I wasn't so hopeful that you would abide with my deal," replied Chrysalis. A group of Changelings brought in a tired, emotionally drained princess. She looked as if she was dead, her body limp and lifeless. Something the Mane five weren't expecting.

"Is she dead!?" Asked Pinkie Pie.

"No she's not, just exhausted," said Applejack putting her hoof on Twilight's chest making sure she was still breathing.

"That's a relief, I guess Chrysalis kept her word this time," said Pinkie Pie.

"She better," said Applejack scowling at the once queen.

"Hey, no need for scowling you should thank me for such a considerable deal," said Chrysalis smirking.

"If you have other tricks up your sleeves we will hunt you down like a pack of wolves after a deer," said Rainbow Dash firmly.

"Oh no need to aggressive.....wait was that a threat, anyways that doesn't matter I will get out of your manes now," said Chrysalis picking up a limp Starlight Glimmer. Chrysalis left the treehouse with her army of Changelings. Right as Chrysalis left she threw Starlight against a tree, still limp her body flopped on the wet soil.

"I really hope I did the right thing," thought Applejack.

"Hahaahhaaa this is going to be fun!" Grinned Chrysalis and began to laugh hysterically.
