Princess Flurry Heart, Defender of the Crystal Empire
Your Majesty... Part 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Flurry and her friends had a little time to rest, they left what was once Sunburst's house before making their way to the Crystal Palace, to confront Majesty and hopefully bring an end to her short reign. As the princess and her friends made their way towards the palace, they saw crowds of Crystal ponies trotting towards the palace as well.
"What's going on?" Abby asked.
"I don't know Abby, lets ask somepony." Flurry replied as she stopped one of the ponies, the crowds not really noticing the princess as they were looking froward. "What's going on?" Flurry asked the pony.
"Your highness..." The pony said, surprised. "We all thought you were gone..."
"No, I'm quite alright, now tell me... What's happening?" Flurry needing to know.
"Somepony named Majesty sent out a decree saying that she has beaten the royal family, even showing us the princess and prince and everyone thought the worst for you, now she demands the Empire to come before her and kneel." The Crystal pony replied before returning to join the crowd.
"This is bad, isn't it?" Teresa stating the obvious.
"Come on, there's no time to lose." Flurry telling her friends as they resumed their determination to reach the palace, the crowds getting bigger and bigger until Flurry and her friends were literally stopped, but the Palace was in full view, Majesty herself on one of the balconies, ready to deliver the word of her victory as she began.
"Hello Crystal ponies, my name is Majesty..." Majesty spoke with a loud and clear tone. "As you all already know, I have defeated the royal family here and I am now in charge, everypony will submit to me or else face the consequences if you resist, I need not remind you of what I have already done to the princesses and prince." Majesty spoke and then she spotted a stir in the crowds as the crowds parted aside to make an alleyway for somepony, As Majesty looked to see who it was, she noticed the Crystal ponies started to bow in surprise as they were no longer looking up at her.
And well soon enough whoever it was came close enough for Majesty to notice it was none other than Princess Flurry Heart and her friends who were right behind her.
"You just don't know how to give up, do you princess?" Majesty asked, slightly annoyed.
"As long as I'm still standing, I will never stop." Flurry replied with fearlessness in her voice.
"One last chance princess..." Majesty chuckled. "Submit to me and I will allow you to keep your title..."
"No..." Flurry returned before sighing as she told herself something in her head. "I hope this works..."
"Very well..." Majesty said as she then lit up her horn. "It was nice knowing you princess..." And Majesty shot her magic down, the blast speeding downward to hit the princess while Flurry closed her eyes.
After a couple of seconds Flurry reopened her eyes, to see not only her friends holding onto each other, but something truly amazing, a rainbow of magical colors was coming out of them, into her as Flurry looked down at her body, all he bruises and injuries magically gone as the rainbow light was literally radiating out from her, protecting her like a shield as Flurry smiled, knowing it worked.
"What!?" Majesty cried out, completely caught off guard. "It's impossible... You're weak!"
"No Majesty..." Flurry's voice growing to a new height. "There's something more powerful than just pure magic... It's the magic of friendship, something you don't have and will never understand. Because of my friends, I hold the greatest magic out there and it's the reason you lose..."
Majesty didn't quite give up yet and once again shot out her magic, which harmlessly was blocked by the rainbow shield as Flurry's friends held onto each other tighter as Flurry closed her eyes once more before opening them again, to reveal her eyes were glowing white as Flurry literally lifted off the ground, her horn powering up before shooting out a display of rainbow color, which brightened up the whole area as it not only hit Majesty and made her fly backward, but also the ponies which were turned into objects, returning them to their normal selfs, including Cadance and Shining Armor as they looked at themselves before looking at each other, running up and giving each other a hug.
Meanwhile Flurry flew upward, taking her friends with her as she stepped onto the balcony where Majesty was, seeing the white unicorn very shocked, but also very upset.
"Give up Majesty..." Flurry taking a step closer, her horn lit up and ready to defend herself and her friends if Majesty didn't give up. "It's over."
"No..." Majesty replying sinisterly. "It's not over..." And Majesty shot out her magic in desperation, but it was powerless as Flurry easily blocked it as Flurry came closer...
"I didn't want to have to do this..." And Flurry was right above Majesty, who was on her knees as Flurry closed her eyes, said a few words of a spell before putting her horn very close to Majesty's a little bit of magic coming out as it enclosed Majesty's horn.
"What did you just do to me!?" Majesty demanded to know as she tried to attack Flurry with her magic once more, but not even a spark came out.
"I took away your magic, now you can never use it to hurt others, now surrender..." Flurry spoke sternly.
"NEVER!" Majesty shouted and turned to escape, only to be met by Cadance and Shining Armor with guards, the royal couple ready with their horns, while the guards had their spears out.
"Nowhere to go..." Cadance stating as a couple of guards came up and chained up Majesty's legs before holding onto her while the unicorn struggled to escape.
"You think this is over you little pretty princess!" Majesty shouted as she was dragged away. "I will escape and beat you one day!"
"And I'm looking froward to it..." Flurry smiled victoriously as Cadance and Shining Armor came up and hugged onto their daughter.
"Oh sweetie, you're alright!" Shining Armor cried.
"And you did it!" Cadance added. "We're so proud of you!"
"Thanks mom and dad, it's great to see you're both okay, I was so scared I was never going to see you again." Flurry shedding some tears as she had one front hoof each held onto her parents as the family held the hug for a few minutes before they let go and when they let go...
"That was awesome Flurry!" Smoky shouted as he, along with the rest of the friends, all piled around Flurry, hugging tight onto her as Flurry laughed, happy that she and her friends won the day.
"I never thought we had it in us, in you..." Feather added.
"Well... I knew our friendship is one of the strongest things, I just had to have faith that it would truly shine." Flurry smiled.
"Flurry, you know that sounds so cheesy right?" Teresa smirked as the friends now all shared a good laugh from the joke Teresa made.
"So now what?" Rose asked.
"Now..." Cadance answered before Flurry could. "We got a Crystal Fair to put together and I think it would be wise for Flurry to let her friends help her set up everything."
"If you all want to, that is." Flurry not wanting to feel her friends were being forced to do so.
"Count Yak in!" Khan giving her voice of confidence as one by one Flurry's friends all agreed to join in.
Two Days Later...
With Majesty defeated and held in prison, down below underneath the palace, where Sombra once held the Crystal Heart captive, the Crystal Fair was back on as shortly after Majesty's fall, Princess Twilight Sparkle came, with her own friends and reinforcements, who were not needed at all in the end as they themselves stayed for the fair. Meanwhile Flurry got right back to making sure all the preparations were in order, and this time had the help of six very dependable friends, who helped organize and set up everything.
The day of the fair couldn't come any sooner as Flurry herself was in her bedroom, just making sure she looked presentable and putting on her royal attire, her crown and hoof shoes before going out and officially starting the fair. A knock came at her door as Flurry called out...
"Come in." Flurry spoke as the door opened and she turned around to see her parents.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" Cadance asked sincerely."
"To be honest, a little nervous still, it is my first time leading the Crystal Fair after all." Flurry answered.
"Well, it's certainly better than the first one your mother and I witnessed." Shining Armor added. "There's actually something we need to tell you..."
"What is it dad?" Flurry wondered.
"Sweetie, we..." Cadance started, only to be interrupted by a new visitor.
"Everything's set and ready Flurry, just waiting on you now." Rose coming in to inform her friend.
"Alright Rose, I'll be out there in a minute." Flurry replied back. "You were saying mom?"
"You know what, it can wait, everypony else can't right now." Cadance putting aside her thoughts before Flurry shared a couple of quick hugs with her parents before leaving to get the fair started.
With crowds of Crystal ponies gathered around the palace, Flurry stepped onto one of the balconies looking out, taking a deep breath as she looked back to see her friends behind her, all there to support her as Flurry began speaking out loud.
"Welcome everypony to the Crystal Fair." Flurry announced to the cheers of everypony. "This is my very first one that I have the privilege of organizing and preparing, but it wasn't just me, with the help of my friends, I not only put together this fair, but I have faced my first real challenge in defending this kingdom from Majesty and I know that I will face many more in the future, but for now lets celebrate!" Flurry smiled as the crowds cheered loudly.
As the fair started, Flurry and her friends went down to join in, as they went down, they were met by a familiar light gray pegasus stallion and a light yellow unicorn mare, who went up to greet the princess.
"Pound, Pumpkin!" Flurry shouted as she and Pumpkin, hugged each other. "It's so good to see you here."
"Yeah, you too." Pumpkin replied. "We heard what happened, we're both glad you're okay, I would have loved to see you in action."
"Maybe next time." Flurry rolled her eyes as she then looked at Pound before coming before him. "And it's good to see you Pound."
"Yeah... Me too..." Pound struggling to get out. "I'm sorry I wasn't here to help you, I really wanted to come and make sure you're okay, and... You know if you got hurt... Or worse..." Pound rambling on as Flurry knew he would go on until she shut him up, so...
"I like you too Mr. Pound Cake." Flurry told the blushing stallion after she gave him a quick kiss straight on the muzzle.
"Get a room you two..." Teresa rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, we already got a couple here." Smoky added as Feather and Rose both blushed at Smoky's comment since they knew he was talking about them.
"Well lets not just keep standing here, we got a whole fair to enjoy!" Abby said with excitement.
"Yak can vouch for that." Khan agreed as everyone shared a quick laugh before going to enjoy the Fair they all helped prepare for, only seemed right for them to enjoy it.
Meanwhile, down underneath the Crystal Palace, in Majesty's prison cell...
"Enjoy the peace while it lasts you little pretty princess..." Majesty spoke quietly under her breath as she just sat there, chained up in her prison cell. "I will return."
