Honesty and Deception
Chapter 10: The War
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn Canterlot, a messenger ran into the castle. Twilight frowned as the messenger ran in “What is the problem?”
The messenger took a deep breath “An enemy army moving out from Manehatten is coming towards Canterlot, I barely managed to escape the city.” Twilight’s eyes narrowed.
2 hours later Chrysalis was in a war tent with Shining Armour. Shining Armour was glaring at her as she looked over several maps moving potential troop positions. Chrysalis grimaced “Stop glaring at me, we have to work together whether or not we like it so get over here and help.”
Shining Armour scowled as he trotted over “Fine but after this you and I will settle this!” Shining Armour frowned as he moved troops back “We are facing an enemy Army, we should move out troops back and wait for them to advance.”
Chrysalis shook her head as she pushed forces forward “You don’t know how Changelings work do you? We are not very good defensively, when I had to employ disguised changelings I made it clear they were primarily attack focused. Playing defensively will leave the Royal guards without any strong defensive backup while if we take the offensive the Changelings will lead the charge with the Royal guard providing backup from behind.”
Shining Armour grimaced “Fine, we should move out. The enemy will likely confront us soon. I doubt they showed every trick they had.”
Chrysalis nodded as she left the war tent alongside Shining Armour, they shouted “We have come to a decision the Changelings will soak the brunt while the Royal Guards reinforce us from behind.” It wasn’t long before the army lead by Chrysalis with Chyrsa by her side marched frowned
Twilight meanwhile was in Canterlot with Cadence, Celestia, Luna and Ocellus. The reigning Regent growled “How did this happen? They shouldn’t have that much resistance, yet they have launched an assault this quickly.”
Celestia frowned “They must have a plan but what could that possibly entail.”
Luna frowned “I’m not sure. They hate the changelings but there is no way they could get to Ocellus.”
Ocellus eye’s widened “They want to get to Chrysalis and Chyrsa. They realised after their failure in Canterlot they can’t win this but they wish to take one of them down with them.”
Cadence shouted “We have to warn them?”
Twilight grimaced “We can’t, the battle likely will be close to beginning. We will have to pick up the scraps of the conflict.”
Meanwhile two armies were staring each other down, fully armoured changelings backed up by Royal Guard were staring down an army of heavily armed mercenaries from all different species. Chrysalis was standing beside Chyrsa, both in full armour while Shining Armour in his own guard armour was organising the guard. Chrysalis roared “Charge, for Equestria!”
The changelings and guards rushed forward as Prince Blueblood lead his own charge, a Changeling fired a magical blast obliteration three Griffons only for a Minotaur to cleave the changeling in half. Chrysa was rushing through tearing mercenaries apart left and right.
Chrysalis and Blueblood were crossing blades, Chrysalis snarled “You have turned on your Aunts! Why side with the nobles that threatened to kill your Aunts, they want them dead?!”
Blueblood laughed a she parried her blow “That was never the plan, long have I played the arrogant snob while I devised this plan long ago to get rid of the nobles. They have been a thorn into Auntie’s sides for too long but when you and your daughter’s actions I was forced to make changes to the plan. You will pay for what the both of you have done, I will give my life to that end!”
Chrysalis growled “I won’t go down to some hotshot unicorn, I have been soaking up a lot of love lately! I will beat you!”
Blueblood grinned “I am not going to kill you, just make you suffer!” His horn glowed as he as a huge ritual circle appeared “This spell will send you to Tartarus for a century, you will suffer there!”
Chyrsa growled as she saw saw the ritual circle opening, she burst into a gallop accelerating along the ground at breakneck speed. Chrysalis tried to get out of the circle only for Blueblood to fire a small blast of magic knocking her over “I won’t let you escape.”
Massive tendrils started to throw themselves at her from a massive portal that began to form, Chrysalis closed her eyes only to be knocked out of the way. She opened her eyes only to see Chrysa grabbed by the tendrils and dragged into Tartarus, Chrysalis cried out “Chyrsa!
She began to cry her tears dripping onto the green grass as the battle raged on around her, Blueblood grimaced “I could only do that once. It seems I have to end this the old fashion way!”
Chrysalis turned to the stallion as fury began to well up in her “This is your fault and you will pay!” Dark energies welled up in her as pitch black cocoon wrapped itself around her before erupting revealing her new form, her legs were covered in mouths filled with razor sharp teeth. Her back had several large twisted tentacles with large blades on the end of them, her eyes were still the same green but the area around them glowed purple.
She leapt on the Blueblood with fury in her eyes “I will feast on the flesh of you and your army!” Blueblood screamed as she tore into his body with her multiple jaws, it was not long before the army started to destabilise as the former Queen began to consume them with fury much to the shock of the entire army.
The entire enemy army was soon destroyed, Shining Armour looked at her monstrous form only to see sobbing, she looked tears flowing “Sh..e’s go..ne, loc..ked in T..ar..tar..us fo..r a ce..nt..ry.” Shining Armour was no fool, he knew what had happened but what didn’t know what how to console the crying mother who knew that her child would undergo terrible suffering that she could not stop.
Author's Note
Well someone told me that Chyrsa wasn't punished enough, well they should be happy now.
