I Am NOT Twilight Sparkle!

One month and one week. That is how long that Zack has been in Equestria, and for that length of time, nothing but ill fate has befallen this poor human turned alicorn. She’s been manipulated to be part of a social game by one of the ponies ruling royal sisters. Her situation has been treated as nothing more than a simple thing that will be fixed like a broken window, by those who try to be her friends, who think it’s as simple as singing ‘one, two, three’. Then having been dragged into strange and absurd situations, and downright childish problems, to even being put under minimal mind control.

And that wasn’t even the worst of it, not by a long shot.

The truly reality shattering fact that greatly affected the human boy turned alicorn mare, was finding out that a spirit of chaos had brought her from her world of Earth to Equestria, all for no other reason than to provide, entertainment, for the spirit. That’s when Zack also learned that she was now, officially deceased, because the spirit has ‘accidently’ killed her old body when he attempted to bring Zack to Equestria. After learning this the alicorn lost herself to her grief and anger, and became a destructive force focused on one thing. Kill the spirit! And she did so in a rather violent and destructive way, but after getting her revenge on the spirit the alicorn was then toyed by fate. By putting her in the hooves of a dementated tyrant queen, who subjected Zack to forceful sexual intercourse with not just her guards, but herself as well. And throughout the rest of her imprisonment, and the sexual endeavors she was put through, the alicorn was constantly being put under and out of mind control, weaking her mental faculties of being able to resist the pleasure and the euphoria of sex.

To the point where she was nothing more than living doll meant to be used for whatever purpose its owner desires.

But after a month and one week of being put through all of this, going through mild annoyances, to soul crushing reality, and being the victim of deranged tyrant. It seems that fate has decided to finally be forgiving to the alicorn mare.

Two days have passed since the siege of the changeling hive, and since then several things have been changing within the kingdom of Equestria. One of the bigger changes was the integration of the changelings hive, into Equestrian society, which was harder than it seem. But the princesses made a promise, a promise to help the abandoned changelings thrive, and they were going to keep their word. While the princesses were trying to find a more suitable land for the changelings to inhabit, in the castles medical ward Twilight Sparkle, Spike, their friends, and the changeling Thorax have been trying to come up with ways to free Zack from the mind control that Chrysalis left her in.

Twilight, Starlight, and the royal sisters, have tried various methods in trying to break the spell placed on the alicorn. But none of their attempts worked. But what made the group even more sad, as well as angry, was the fact that Zack has been confirmed to be pregnant, and by the test they made, and dreaded hunch, it was Chrysalis herself that had done the deed to breed Zack. And if Zack’s digestion period is the same as Cadence, when she had Flurry Heart, then the mind enslaved alicorn will give birth in five months’ time.

Today Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer were in the archives of the castle, going through the old tomes and scrolls of the dusty library, searching for anything that could help them in lifting the spell placed on Zack. However their effort is rather futile, and un-need. They already know how to break the spell on the alicorn, as it was confirmed by Thorax that the spell placed on Zack, was the same that was placed on Shining Armor when the queen impersonated Cadence. But this just made the ponies even more disheartened, as the thing that broke Shining Armor out of his own mind control, was the love that Cadence had for her husband. And therein lies the ponies conundrum.

“AGH!” Twilight shouted as she actually, for the first time in her life…threw a book down at the floor in frustration! “There is NOTHING! Nothing about how to combat mind control!”

“There’s books on ancient beasts. Tomes on how to ward against nightmares, there’s even a scroll that describes the best way to make a potato dish for some kind of fancy ceremony.” Starlight said as she used her magic to separate the text’s she’s already ready, from the pile she hasn’t even read yet.

“All of this information, bits and pieces of our races magical knowledge, and yet all of this, it’s all basically…USELESS!” the unicorn shouted in aggravation as her magic sent all the books around her scattering across the ground.

“We’ve been at this for hours, and we’re not close to finding anything useful.” The unicorn slumped onto the floor as she feels exhausted from the tireless research, mind feeling numb after reading so much useless topics. Twilight then came rounding around a corner, looking just as tired and exhausted as her apprentice.

“Starlight, let’s take a break. At this rate will just burn ourselves out.”

“…yeah. I could use a break.”

The unicorn stood up from her spot on the floor, and followed Twilight out of the archive, locking the door behind them as they started to make their way through the south wing of the castle. As the two mares trotted through the lonely hallway, they both started to run through the new amounts of knowledge in their heads, even though they were tired of running through useless information and trying to get away from it for the time being. Sometime later the two ponies exited the lonely empty corridor, and started to trot through into one of the main hallways, before exiting out into the courtyard and being bathed in the light of the evening sun. While the pair were trotting through the courtyard, Starlight started to think back to when Cadence was brought to the castle, to see whether or not that her love magic could help undo Chrysalis’s mind control. But even the princess of love couldn’t break the spell.

“I still can’t believe that even Cadence couldn’t break the spell” Starlight muttered to herself as the pair made their way to a nearby flight of stairs.

“It would seem that Thorax was right…” Twilight said in a low tone as she started to climb the steps.

“The only ways for the spell to be lifted off of Zack is either her true lover’s own love breaks the spell, or have…” the next thought that came to the alicorn, actually made Twilight feel sick to her stomach to even think about it. “Chrysalis lift the spell herself.”

“As if we’ll let that hag anywhere near Zack after all of this!” Starlight nearly spat as the pair reached the top of the steps, and started to trot down the left corridor that lead to the dining hall. “By the way Twilight, have the guards found any clues onto where Chrysalis ran off to?”

“No.” Twilight simply replied. “The guards have scoured the land for anything that could lead to her, but they found absolutely nothing.” a very disappointed look came over Starlight’s face after Twilight informed her protégé of the queens state.

“…if only I haven’t lost my hold on her, then we could’ve made her remove the spell on Zack.” The alicorn turned to look at the unicorn with a worrisome look.

“Starlight it’s not your fault that she escaped, none of us expected her to use that blinding flash spell to make her escape.” The taller mare comforted as she wrapped a wing around the mare, bringing her into a hug.

“But still…”

“Come on Starlight. If you try to place all of the blame on yourself, it will only make feel worst.” The alicorn nuzzled the unicorn in attempt to lighten up her mood. “In fact, you could say it was all of our fault, for not foreseeing her escape attempt, and from stopping her.”

“…I guess you’re right. But even still…I can’t help but feel responsible.” Starlight says as she pulls away from Twilight’s wing hug, and trots off.

The alicorn could only watch as her student trots off, head now slouching and tail dragging behind her. Twilight soon followed after her protégé and friend, and when she did the two mares walked in silence until they reached the dining hall, where they saw both Celestia and Luna sitting at the large table, and each princess looked equally as exhausted and frustrated as Twilight and Starlight. Aside from the alicorns, Thorax was also sitting at the table, now fully recovered from his own injuries but now baring scars and marks.

“There you two are.” Celestia says in a low, very tired voice, as she looks over to Twilight and Starlight.

“Good evening everypony.” Both mares say as they approach another table within the room, gathering up food on their own plates before joining the other three at the main table.

“Are you two okay?” Thorax asked as he looked at the tired expressions on the two mares faces. “You look like you haven’t gotten any sleep at all.”

“We’ve been awake since daybreak, going through books, tomes and everything else to see if we can find something to break the spell on Zack.” Twilight says as she pretty much downs her glass of strawberry milk in one go, before eating the food on her plate.

“Have you found anything?” the changeling asked in hopeful tone, but when both mares shook their heads, his hopeful grin dropped to a frown as he slumped into his chair. “I guess we’re out of options then.”

“But there has to be something we haven’t thought of!” Twilight said in hope after swallowing her mouthful of food.

“I’m sure there is Twilight, but finding the answer to our problem might not be as easy as we—”

Celestia paused in mid-sentence when a when a blue wisp comes flying into the room, and materialized into a letter in front of the princess. Taking the letter in her magic grasp the aged alicorn started to read what is written, and as she does so her expression goes from mild-curiosity to greatly hopeful! Which to the other occupants of the table, looked as if the

“Sister? Is something wrong?” Luna asked her sister, before the alicorn looked to her fellows at the table with a big smile.

“Cadence and Sunburst say that they might have a way to undo the mind control!”

“Wait! Sunburst?” Starlight says in surprise. “How does he know about all of this.”

“From what’s written on the letter, Cadence has asked Sunburst for his assistance, as his magical knowledge is second-to-none. So when she returned to the Empire, and Sunburst asked what has caused her plight, so she informed him about Zack and her current state. And…Sunburst believes that he may have found some way to release Zack!” the group at the table looked at each with genuine surprise as the princess tells them this bit of information, and the first to react to this was Thorax, but flying out of his seat and buzzing his way to the doorway.

“Then what are we waiting for! if this sunburst has a way to get rid of the mind control, let’s give it a shot!”

The changeling then blitz out of the dining hall and was undoubtedly heading towards the medical ward, with the three alicorns and Starlight quickly following after him. As the four mares, and lone male changeling, rushed to the medical ward the startled a few of the guards, and servants of the castle as they weren’t expecting to see the royals running like excited children.

Upon reaching the medical ward, the four ponies and lone changeling made their way to the farthest bed, where Zack was sleeping soundly. The mare has been asleep for the past three days ever since she was rescued, courtesy of princess Luna. The reason for this little conundrum is that, because of the mind control she’s put under, as well as how the queen used her, the violet alicorn was basically an overly flirtatious hussy that tries to get intimate with any pony she encounters. So to preserve the sanctity of both the other ponies chastity, as well as Zack’s, as well as try and not have the mare have more hardship placed upon her. Using her levitation Celestia carefully lifted the slumbering mare, wrapping her up in a blanket to keep her warm, and stuffing it with a pillow for her head, the princesses, Starlight and Thorax left the medical ward and prepared to leave for the Crystal Empire.

“Should I inform my friends about what’s going on, and what Sunburst and Cadence have planned?”

“I think so. It would help ease their minds, and I’m sure they would like greet Zack if this idea of theirs work.” Celestia says as she and the others enter the main lobby.

“Then me and my friends will meet you in the Empire later.” Twilight says as she ignited her horn, and teleported back to Ponyville, while the other princesses, Starlight and Thorax left at the castle and made their way to the train station.

~~Ponyville~~

Ever since Zack was, rescued, from queen Chrysalis hold, Spike has been in a very foul mood. After all one of his friends were put through such a horrible ordeal, after going through the shattering reality of her condition, all because of Discord’s childish and selfish antics. Now this friend of his is unable to do anything, other than trying to sleep with other ponies, and looks so, broken.

“Spike?” the dragon turned to look at his bedroom door and found Twilight standing there.

“Hey Twilight, what—”

“I need you to head to the throne room, there’s something I need to tell you and the others.” Unsure what has his caretaker is up to, and why she looked so hopeful, the little dragon hopped off his bed and left his room while Twilight galloped off.

After making his way down to the throne room, Spike found Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash either sitting or standing around the table. All of whom looked like Spike did. A minute after the dragon took a seat in his little throne, Twilight came into the throne room with the rest of her friends in tow, each one looking like the rest of them. All six mares have been in this sorry state ever since invasion of the changeling hive, and the days they’ve all been waiting for Zack to be freed from her mind controlled, but as the past few days had gone by with no results the mares were left feeling defeated. Sure they may have gotten Zack back, its just that she’s not whole, part of her is still in the position of Chrysalis. Twilight was the only one that appeared to be in higher spirts than the others, and it was confusing the other occupants of the throne room.

“So Twilight what’s going on?” Applejack asked as she slouches into her throne.

“Well I have good news! Or at least I hope its good news.” Twilight reiterates as she looks at her friends. “Sunburst and Cadence believe they have a way to help Zack, I don’t know what his idea is, but Celestia seemed to think it might work.” the group’s collective mood shifted from disheartened depression into a very hopeful awareness as they looked at their alicorn compatriots.

“Really?!” Pinkie asked in actual excited voice, heck, even some of her limp mane and tail poofed up a little.

“Like I said hopefully, I came to tell you all this, and that me and the other princesses are heading to the Empire—”

“Then what are we waiting for let’s go!”

Rainbow all but burst out of the room, followed by her friends as they all left the castle, and Twilight behind. as for the alicorn herself, she recovered from the sudden change and chased after friends. Hope burning in all of their hearts as they made their way to the station.
