The Curse Of Chrysalis

Chapter 21

With some work and sharing humor and gags from their world with Discord, Cory and Kris were able to win over the god of chaos and, with the help of the six ponies, Fluttershy mostly, they were able to show Discord how important Friendship can be. So he became friends with the ponies and the two humans.

Things were peaceful for a while among the changelings and ponies. Nothing much happened. No new threats or anything. One day though, Twilight had received a book from Celestia that contained some of Starswirl the bearded’s spells. One of which was unfinished and Celestia believed Twilight could finish it. Without realizing it, she ended up casting the spell before going to bed. It was during this chaos that Kris and Cory had decided to pay a visit to the town.

Kris stretched as they entered Ponyville. “Man, nice as the hive is, it is good to be among actual buildings rather than rocks.” Kris commented.

Cory shrugged. “Meh, one place is as good as any other to me.”

“I guess.” Kris commented. “But it is a nice day out….wait...what the..?” Kris paused as he was looking up and noticed something funny with the clouds. “Um...Cory, are you seeing this?” The clouds were all in a checkerboard pattern with some raining while others were snowing.

Cory seemed to be having trouble seeing things as he had rubbed, blinked, and hit the side of his head several times each. “Is it that the clouds seem to be going wacky? Cause if not, I need my eyes checked.”

“That’s exactly what I’m seeing.” Kris said. “You don’t think Discord is behind this do you?”

“No, he’s the type to do something random and out of order, this seems like someone arranged it before kicking it into gear.” Cory theorized.

“Maybe we should ask Twilight what’s going on.” Kris suggested.

“Wait….Kris, you don’t think…..is this the finale of season three?” Cory asked.

“Well, if we see any of the girls with a different cutie mark….yes.” Kris replied. “Then this is going to be the day Twilight becomes an alicorn princess.”

Cory groaned before rubbing his face. “It’s just one thing after another.”

“Sweet! We’re going to be witness to history!” Kris said. “Look! I think that’s Rarity over there!” Kris pointed out as he saw Rarity looking up at the sky with her horn glowing. She was manipulating the weather and had Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark.

Cory sighed. “Yep, it’s that time.”

“Well aren’t you a ray of joy.” Kris commented. “Oh right, you never did care much for this part did you?”

“NO, I didn't. It was so stupid. First off, casting the spell accidentally? She knew full well she was casting a spell, but she didn’t know WHAT it would do, that was nothing but reckless. And then came when she had to fix it all. Logic would dictate putting the ponies in their proper places so they can go back to normal. And THEN, after ‘finishing’ the spell, she’s made into a Princess. I’m sorry, but this finale was nothing but BULLSHIT.” Cory panted a bit after getting all that out in one breath.

“Geeze. Tell me how you really feel.” Kris replied. “Okay, I’ll admit it was stupid of Twilight to try and cast a spell when she had no idea what it would do. But I think Celestia knew that was going to happen and used this as a test to see if she was finally ready. It had been confirmed the princesses can get premonitions of future events right?”

“I still call BULLSHIT. Making her into a princess after preventing a war with another country? I’ll accept. Making her into a princess after bringing peace to several towns or even protecting said towns? I can get behind. Making her into a princess after creating a spell from scratch that could change medical science and magic as a whole? I will put the crown on her myself. But finishing a spell that an old stubborn unicorn couldn’t finish, who also has his head so far up his own ass he can tell what’s stuck in his throat, is NOT royalty material!” Cory REALLY seemed to have a problem with how Twilight was made into a princess, not that she was made into one, just the HOW.

“Wow, well just don’t let Celestia or Twilight hear all that.” Kris said nervously. As they were talking about the subject, Twilight had already gotten to Rarity and changed her back and headed off to the others through song. “Oh, Twilight is already getting the problem fixed.”

“And it’s through song. End me now.” Cory said, his voice just dead.

“Well I like the musical numbers.” Kris commented. “Kind of makes me wish I could break out in song like them sounding great too.”

Cory stared at Kris with a dead look in his eyes. “I will break you if you do. One thing I hated about disney was their damn songs that their cast would break out in. Don’t get me wrong, some are great, but because of Disney, EVERYONE else thought it was a great idea to do too. Case in point.” He pointed at Twilight as she and her friends sang.

“Well I liked the songs from the show. Even better getting to hear them in person.” Kris commented. They were nearing the end of the song and soon were now heading to Twilight’s home. “Come on! It’s about to happen.” Kris said rushing for the library.

Cory sighed before following Kris.

“Hey girls!” Kris called as they entered.

“Cory, Kris, you guys are just in time! Twilight’s about to finish a spell Starswirl wasn’t able to figure out.” Pinkie said.

“Really? Cool. Isn’t he like your idol or something?” Kris asked.

“He is, and it’s rather funny that I get to complete one of HIS spells.” Twilight said as she held the book before her.

“How is it funny?” Cory asked.

“Starswirl is my idol! I never thought I’d get to try and actually complete one of his works.” Twilight stated before she began writing and rewriting the spell as she said it. Just as she finished it, everyone’s elements of harmony started glowing and fired a beam at Twilight. A brilliant flash erupted and blinded everyone. When it cleared, Twilight was gone.

“Twilight!” The girls cried out in concern.

“Whoa! What the heck happened?” Kris asked even though he knew.

“What happened?! Where did she go!?” Applejack asked.

“We gotta find her!” Rainbow cried out. “Come on guys, you gotta help too!” Rainbow said to Cory and Kris.

Cory raised his hand. “GIRLS!” He shouted. “Will you all calm down? If she was hit with the Elements without your consent, wouldn’t that mean that she was hit for a reason? In all the time you’ve had them, have the Elements done anything bad to any one of you?”

“He’s got a point girls. The elements of harmony are a force for good.” Kris said. “Going by that logic, they most likely teleported her somewhere for some reason.”

“But….if that’s the case, then where did they send her?” Rarity asked. “And why?”

“Who knows, all we can do for now is wait.” Kris replied.

“We’ll wait until tomorrow. If she’s not back, THEN we’ll look for her. Not that it would do much good seeing as we have no idea WHERE she is, so we wouldn’t know where to start in the first place.” Cory added.

The sun soon went down. Shortly after that, a brilliant light filled the sky taking the form of Twilight’s cutie mark. The group headed to the center of town where the light hung over. Soon, a white light appeared and faded revealing Twilight standing there, now sporting a new pair of wings. “I’m….a princess?” Twilight asked in amazement.

With her was Celestia. “You are.”

“OH MY GOSH!” Pinkie exclaimed before glomping on to Twilight.

“Wow Twi, ah can’t believe it.” Applejack said as she and the others approached.

“Congrats Twilight.” Kris said, giving a smile.

Cory sighed before smiling. “Same here.”

“Am I really ready for this?” Twilight asked herself.

“You have proven yourself time and again to be brilliant, kind, and shown what friendship can do. You don’t need me anymore as your teacher, but I will still be there to help you should you need it...princess Twilight Sparkle.” Celestia said, bowing.

With that, the other girls bowed as well.

Kris bowed too at the waist.

Cory however didn’t and gave a salute instead. “I serve Queen Chrysalis, but if you need help, I’ll be there.”

“Same as me.” Kris said. “Always happy to help a friend.”

“Thank you, all of you.” Twilight said with a smile.

“You know what this calls for?” Pinkie asked. “AN ALICORN PARTY!” She then exclaimed.

Pinkie soon threw a big party to celebrate Twilight’s ascension before the official coronation was held before all of Equestria. Cory and Kris were present for it but just as observers. After, they headed back to the hive to tell Chrysalis the news.

“Your majesty.” Kris said bowing as he and Cory stood before Chrysalis. “We have returned. Sorry it wasn’t sooner but certain events occurred.”

“Oh? Do tell?” Chrysalis asked.

Cory cleared his throat. “Twilight Sparkle is now PRINCESS Twilight Sparkle.”

“A new princess? I see. This is interesting news. Well...I have some news of my own, but for your ears only. Let us retire to my room for the moment.” Chrysalis said getting up from her throne.

Cory and Kris bowed before following her to her room.

Once the doors were closed and they were alone, Chrysalis blushed a bit looking at them. “This princess business reminded me I did have important news for you two. Due to the few nights we’ve spent together recently. It….it seems I am...with child.”

“WHAT!?” Kris and Cory exclaimed in utter shock.
