God Problems
Chapter 17: Chrysalis
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunset was sitting in a simple room with very little in it save a pink bed, a vanity as well as a chest full of party supplies and a little crib were their son Xeno slept soundly. Pinkie entered with a smile, giving her a peck on the cheek “Is something wrong?”
Sunset frowned “Since we moved the Mirror portals to the castle, I was hoping to find my daughter Chrysalis. I have a lot to do when I return there and it could take a while, could you take care of everything while I’m gone?”
Pinkie smiled “Of course, I must thank Illusio for taking over court sometimes. It gives us some time to do things for ourselves. He has become quite a competent leader over the eons.”
Sunset grimaced “If it wasn’t for Harmony and Chaos we wouldn’t have been separated for so long. Still that is not my concern on this visit, that will be for the both of us.” Pinkie nodded with her own smile, Sunset walked out of the room waving goodbye to Pinkie as she did so. She walked through the crystal-like hallways to a large crystal door.
She placed her hand on the door, it opened with a faint glow of her magic. Three portals stood there in the massive room, far bigger than how it from the outside would suggest. One had Princess Twilight above it, the second had Princess Sunset and on the opposite side was one that said Seth and Bella.
Sunset restrained her power as she leapt through the one that said Princess Twilight, she found herself in a room with dark stone walls coursing with necrotic energies. She looked over herself, her four orange chitinous hooves were filled with holes. Her mane was the same as before but more web like, her back had a crimson red piece of hardened carapace with glowing orange wings folded neatly onto it.
Princess Twilight entered, parts of internals exposed due to her undead nature. She growled “What are you doing here Changeling, how did you get into my castle!”
Sunset simply held out a hoof levitated the Princess into the air “Twilight, I just popped over from the human world.” She then showed her flank to Twilight, her yin yang sun Cutie Mark was clear to Twilight.
Twilight’s eyes widened “Sunset, what are you doing here and why are you a Changeling! You were born a pony!”
Sunset lowed the Princess to the floor softly and dissipated the spell “Twilight, the portal had been making me a Changeling because it’s how I see myself nowadays. It’s better than making me some strange deformed creature.” Sunset paused as she heard the sound of battle “It seems that further discussion will have to wait.”
The two galloped out to see a humongous battle beginning to unfold, undead warriors fighting against a swarm of changelings their black chitin descending. Sunset rubbed the gash in her chest that sparked with green magic “Now I will be able to find my daughter and kick her flank.”
Sunset kicked a Changeling into the ground of the courtyard surrounded by dark stone walls. Twilight landed next to Arthas blasting away a Changeling as he tore one in half with Hallowed Gate. He gave her a peck on the cheek before turning to the enemy “There sure is a lot of these Changeling creatures, how are we going to handle this!”
Twilight frowned as she saw Sunset swatting thousand of Changelings aside like ants “Well, she seems to have this well in hoof.” Sunset turned around to see Chrysalis, dive bomb out of the sky towards her. Twilight growled “The Queen is here and…”
She was stopped as Sunset smiled warmly as she rushed at the Vicious Queen wrapping her in a mighty hug “My precious little buggy wuggy, it’s so good to hold you again.” Chrysalis froze in the hug, she turned to see the smiling face of a Changeling Queen holding her. Sunset smirked “I must admit you did pretty well considering, I believed that Celestia was impossible to defeat but you proved me wrong.”
Chrysalis looked over her, then saw the scar on the chest. It was the every same place she stabbed her mother, who the Changeling Queen was obvious to her. She burst into tears “Mum, I’m so sorry! Please forgive me.”
Sunset held her tighter “My precious love bug, nothing is wrong .In truth I was hoping for you to return with me to my home, a place far from here where even the Princesses hold no authority. A place where our hives can be safe.”
The two landed, Twilight galloped over to her angrily “Why are you hugging her!”
Sunset frowned “Twilight, when I told that I was reincarnated from a Changeling Queen I mentioned I had a daughter. I had a daughter.” Twilight was about respond before looking between the two of them, slowly noticing the resemblance in both form, gait and from her memories of their first meeting, demeanor. Sunset smiled “Chrysalis is my daughter but back then my name was Queen Lumina, oddly enough my daughter killed during then time when I was trying to form diplomatic ties with Equestria.”
Twilight blinked as Chrysalis looked down guiltily “Why then are insistent on protecting her?”
Sunset frowned “Simple, she is my family. I have been long awaiting our reunion and to introduce to her my extended family as well as my group of friends. I will not take a no for an answer and…”
There was a golden flash of light, Celestia’s eyes narrowed as she saw Chrysalis “How dare you try to Equestria again! Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t fry you where you stand?”
Twilight was about to speak when Sunset delivered a mighty uppercut, sending her skyward bound. They looked up only to see the sun shake slightly in the sky, Celestia flew back shortly afterwards glaring at Sunset “Who are you!”
Twilight rubbed the back of her head “This is Sunset, she arrived through the mirror portal. She came to retrieve her daughter from a previous lifetime.”
Celestia’s eyes widened for a split second before she frowned “Sunset, what is this reincarnation business? What proof could there be.”
Sunset rubbed the scar one her chest, green changeling magic coursing through her scar as she winced “This, it was present one me and two others, Princess Platinum and the first Bluebelle. Have you made the connection yet.”
Sunset frowned “You know what I don’t care, I’m taking Chrysalis and her hive away from here.” Her horn glowed and all the Changeling of Chrysalis’ hive dissapeared from the dimension alongside Sunset into Sunset’s new hive. Sunset smirked as Chrysalis took up residence in the caves alongside her hive learning how to properly run the hive.
