Celestia groaned as she awoke, several nurses galloped over to her “Are you alright, Princess Celestia?!”

Celestia frowned “I’m fine, how’s my sister.”

The nurses looked down “We were able to attach her tongue but one of her eyes was damaged beyond belief. The doctors were unable to fix her eye.”

Celestia took a deep breath “Have you got the mare in custody, I wish to see to her punishment personally.”

The nurses shook her head “She is a member of the Apple Family and is in the care of Applejack. Also Chrysalis was found to have been staying at the Apple Farm, she and her daughter are staying there now.”

Celestia took a deep breath “I insist that my sister and I speak with both of them, it needs to be cleared up now before we take up duties again.”

One of the doctors entered with a frown “I don’t like this but if you’re going to do this we can’t stop you without worsening your condition. We will send you two there in a medical chariot.” It wasn’t long before two ponies carried the mare out on stretchers into a massive chariot with ten royal guards pulling it.

Twilight was smiling “I’m glad your both okay.”

Luna growled “That mare took our eye, we will rip her limb from limb!”

Celestia glared at her sister “Do you not think I am not furious?! She hurt us both but steady yourself, we couldn’t beat her at our best! All would be inviting would be a quick death from her hooves, she may not spare us a second time!”

Luna protested “But she broke into our castle and assaulted out guards.”

Celestia sighed “We attacked first remember, she came here demanding answers. Her assault only doing enough damage to get past the guards until she confronted us and then we attacked her refusing to give her answers.”

Twilight gave them a weak smile “I’ll hold down the castle Princesses. I actually have a meeting with some diplomats in two hours so have to go.”

Luna smiled as the chariot took off “Sister, I do believe you have picked a good pony to succeed us.” She then sighed “Our foolishness one thousand years ago has caused too many problems and even now the effects our mistakes are being felt.”

Celestia shook her head “We can’t let the mistakes of the past way us down. Instead we must build the new future that will preserve harmony for all.”

Luna sighed “You always were the wise one sister. Yow saw everything that I didn’t, ever taking charge for correcting my mistakes.”

Celestia grimaced “All my wisdom couldn’t prevent your fall, I should have seen it but I was so blind. I was so caught up in all the power that I lost sight of what’s important.”

Luna was bout to respond when the medical chariot landed in the middle of Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack trotted over and bowed “Princesses, Ah wasn’t expecting you to be visiting today.”

Luna frowned “We wish to speak with Chrysalis and her daughter.”

Applejack nodded “Ah’ll go and get them. They are getting along quite with our changeling farmhooves, it’s surprising how effective Changeling Empathy is at solving disputes.”

Celestia smiled as Applejack trotted of into the distance “Well at least the Changeling integration is going well here it seems.”

Luna grimaced “So it seems.”

Celestia frowned “Don’t act like that. This is a positive thing, we can’t act like we used to one thousand years ago. I don’t want our gardens filled with any more enemies if we can help it.”

Luna sighed “Sorry sister, it’s just I should have been there. Chrysalis shouldn’t have faced you alone. We would have overcome her together.”

Celestia shook her head “I’m glad we didn’t or else we may not be here today.”

Before either could comment Chrysalis and Chyrsa approached, Chrysa growled preparing to fight “What are you two doing here?!”

Chrysalis scowled at her “Stand down! Neither of them are in any condition to fight us and we are their subjects.” She then bowed before “Princess, forgive me for my past indiscretions towards you.”

Celestia smiled warmly “All is forgiven, the past is the past and should be left behind us.”

Chrysalis shook her head “While I admire the attempt, I can feel anger inside both of you. Celestia you are angry at me for the what I have done, you are angry at Chrysa because she assaulted both of you. Luna’s anger is even more concerning, she is angry at herself for not stopping me, angry at me for what I did, angry my daughter for her assault and angry at you as well.”

Celestia turned to her sister “Why are you angry at me?!”

Luna growled “Because you haven’t learned anything since when I was banished. You are are just saying words and expecting me to follow them, I thought we were supposed to be equals.”

Chrysalis took a deep breath as she saw Celestia freeze and put a hoof on the Moon Princesses’ wither “Look at me.” The angry princess turned around a slitted teal eye glaring at her, Chrysalis shook her head “If you’re angry then hit me with all you’ve got.”

The Royal Guards watched in shock as Luna took off with her wings smashing her hooves into the Changeling Queen. Chrysa was about to rush when a slight glare from her mother before a blast of magic sent the former Queen into the ground.

Chrysalis laid there as the Princess fired blasts into the ground (This is so going to suck when I have to replace all the dirt.) Celestia and Chrysa exchanged confused glances as they saw that the former Queen was allowing the Moon Goddess to pummel her into the ground without a worry in the world.
