An Exiled Pony.

Interrupted During A Deal.

Previous Chapter

Twilight's first order of business was to make sure the changing army was ready. She was with 10 or so Timberwolves. The journey was long and hard, but it needs to be worth it. After all, she wasn't going to back off. When they arrived, the changelings at the front of the hive didn't like her, but as she was with an army, they let her in.

Inside the hive was actually nice. Even though the tunnels were confusing, you got used to navigating them. When they reached the meeting room, there was a lot of shocked faces, to say the least. And who could blame them? There stood Queen Chrysalis, jaw agape and in shock.

"Fool!" She yelled. "How dare you even step a single pathetic hoof into my domain! Please, Storm King, say she's on our side for once!"

He nodded. "Yep. She killed my general, so she's mine now, Twilight's on our side."

Chrysalis chuckled. "What's the plan, general?"

"Simple. Give them once chance to surrender supplied on demand. If they comply? They live and we go home with food and supplies. If they say no? We prepare for war and burn Canterlot to the ground." Twilight said, leaving Chrysalis is shock.

When she regained her ability to comprehend what the princess had just said, she was smiling. "Now," Princess Twilight started. "You may be asking yourself 'what do I get out of this? Will this even work?' And to that, I answer yes. It will work."

Chrysalis scoffed. "How?"

Twilight chuckled. "A banishment spell drains a pony's magic. It takes a lot of magic to also use the elements of harmony. Celestia banished me, so she's out of the question. Tempest's dead, I know my way around a good plan and Canterlot, since I did grow up there."

The Storm King laughed, placing his paw opposite Chrysalis. "So, do we have a deal or not? We will benefit from this and you will get revenge, I promise you that."

Chrysalis smiled and shook his paw. "What time do you want to meet up?"

They were interrupted by a loud banging at the door. No, not the door to the room. The main kingdom's door. "Open up, or we blast our way in!" The voice called out. It sounded like Celestia. "You have 1 minute!"

They all looked at each other and nodded. "No troops, yet Chrysalis. Tempting to blow them to pieces, but we need to lay on an illusion, like a cake. There's multiple layers."

Chrysalis growled. "Fine. But when we attack, I get control of the troops!"

Twilight shook her head. "When you attacked us before, it was sloppy. Your 'troops' are going to train with out Timberwolves before we attack."

Chrysalis nooded and they opened the door, Twilight staying behind the corner, so only The Storm King was visible, along with Chrysalis. There was the Mane 6, Celestia, and Cadence.

Chrysalis smiled. "Back again so soon?"

Rainbow growled. "I've had enough of this!" She flew a bit closer, still keeping her distance. "WHERE IS TWILIGHT?" The Storm King laughed.

"Oh, General!" He called out from behind him. "Come and meet our friends and tell them about the deal they're going to make!"

Twilight emerged from the dark, angry.

Celestia felt remorse. "Twilight, I-"

Twilight snapped. "SHUT UP, CELESTIA! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOUR NONSENCE! FOR ONCE, YOU ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME!"

Celestia sighed. "What are your commands, general?"

Twilight smiled. "Well, first of all I want you to bow to us. If you mess up, we will be the new rulers."

Twilight watches them bow down to her and the others. It was satasfying to say the least.

She smiled. "Good, now get up and listen hard, I'm only gonna say this once. The outskirts of Ponyville. 2 months. I want 5 crates of food and supplies outside the boarder."

AJ was confused. "What if we don't get you the stuff in 2 months?"

Twilight laughed. "War. You girls will get to watch every single second of it too. Well, asides Celestia. If you don't abide, she will be tortured mentally and physically until she dies."

Celestia shuttered at the thought. "Twilight, you can come back and help us-"

She shook her head. "No. I've helped you with your dirty work and planning for years now! What do I get in return? A crummy statue, that's why I get! I don't even get a kingdom to rule over!"

"What if by some miracle, we win and you lose, Twilight?" Celestia suggested.

Chrysalis grinned. "That won't happen. Not this time. Sure, you have other creatures this time, but we have an Alicorn and more Timberwolves than you can even begin to comprehend!"

"Twilight..." Celestia started. "You can come back, you do know that, right?"

"To what? You're starving these changelings, Celestia! They can eat the love off other ponies, but they also eat pony food that doesn't grow around here for miles!"

She sighed. "Look, I'm being genorous here. You have 2 months to get your flanks into order and get the food and supplies ready. I need wood, nails, paint and medical supplies. Now get out of here now before I make it 2 days."

Celestia nodded. "You should write to me before you you're coming."

Twilight shook her head with a sarcastic smile, almost like Celestia's. "No need."

Twilight, Chrysalis and The Storm King watched them walk into the distance and teleport away.

The Storm King looked at his small arm, and then back at Twilight. "We have this under control."

"You, and you!" He pointed to two random Timberwolves. "Stay here and train these bugs to fight. I'll collect you when the time is right."

They nodded. By the time Chrysalis turned around, they were gone. The other Timberwolves had gone as well. Only the 2 that he had ordered to stay behind were left.

She stepped outside the castle doors and looked at the sunset. She nodded and it felt like she got something back.

Twilight and the Storm King landed in the middle of their camp.

Twilight huffed. "Time to create a game plan."

The Storm King laughed. "I have to make sure everybody's in bed and then I'll get some shut eye. Don't be up all night this time."

Twilight smiled. "I won't."

The Storm King smiled and walked off down the torn Street. This left Twilight alone with her thoughts. She began singing.

Oh, how I used to wonder what friendship could be..
