I Am NOT Twilight Sparkle!

Twilight was in absolute horror at the sight that stood before her. the exiled queen of the changelings had just ran Thorax through with her horn, when he shoved Zack out of the way before she was meet with the same fate. But despite all that, the alicorns heart sank into her stomach as she watched green blood spurt and rupture not just from his wound, but his mouth as well while his eyes widen with an expression of utter pain plastered over his face.

“WORTHLESS GRUB!” the queen then screeched as she lowered her head slightly. “HOW DARE YOU GET IN MY WAY!”

The queen then reared her head off to the side, before violently swinging it to the other side which sent Thorax’s pierced body soaring through the air, before he crashed into a nearby tree with a sickening ‘Crunch’ and ‘Sploosh.’ Twilight then watched as Thorax slid down the trunk of the tree and leaving a clear streak of vibrant green blood. The alicorn and her two pegasi friends rushed over to the downed changeling, and once they reached him all three mares couldn’t tell if Thorax was breathing or not, but that was not Twilight’s greatest concern right now. If Thorax was indeed alive, by some stroke of a miracle, then she had to work fast. So the alicorn started to cast some basic healing magic, hoping to be able to close the wound at least and prevent further blood lost.

“Twilight, he…he’s going to live, isn’t he?” Fluttershy wept as she held Thorax’s motionless head in her hooves.

“I…I don’t know. But if there is a chance, I have to work fast!” Twilight said as she continues to apply her basic healing magic, which is working at closing the wound, but at a slow pace.

“If he did not feel the need to interfere then he could have at least lived to see me take my vengeance—”

“Shut up!” Rainbow Dash screamed as she turned to face Chrysalis, eyes narrowed and browed furrowed with anger unlike of which she’s never felt before, her wings and feathers bristled like an angry cat.

“I have had it up to here with you and your horse apples Chrysalis, you’re going down NOW!” And with that and a battle cry, Rainbow Dash vaulted herself at top speed towards Chrysalis, slamming into the exiled queen and pushing her a good dozen or so feet, while delivering punch after punch to the Chrysalis.

But Rainbow Dash’s improve attack was short lived, as she was quickly wrapped up in Chrysalis’s magical aura, before she was set on fire!

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight and Fluttershy both cried out as they just watched their friend be set on fire, and like Thorax, tossed aside like garbage.

Stopping her treatment on Thorax, Twilight teleported over to her friend who was writhing in agony as she cries out in pain. Twilight uses her magic to quickly snuff out the fire, which upon dispersing it saw that the damage to her friend wasn’t too severe. But was still bad overall. Half of her body was badly burnt, but what caused Twilight even more heartache, was that Rainbow Dash’s wings had more than half their feathers burned away. Again Twilight started to apply her healing magic, but she was encased in an green aura and was lifted a few feet off the ground. the alicorn tried to free herself of her restraint, but the ex-queen’s magic was just to strong, as it started to squeeze and strangle the mare as Chrysalis started to speak.

“I was going to save you for last princess, but I might as well take care of you right here and now.”

Chrysalis’s magical aura tightened further on Twilight, even changing into the form of a giant snake, coiling around the alicorn, and looked ready to swallow the mare whole as it unhinged its jaws. Revealing its insides to be a burning green tunnel. But just as the snake had its gapping maw just over Twilight’s head, a bright light blue magical blast came rocketing out of the lingering wisps of smoke, and struck the snake’s head and decapitating it. causing the whole spectral serpent to fade away, dropping Twilight where she was held up and left gasping for air. Then a few more magical blasts streaked through the air, some the same light blue ones and a few being darker in color. but magical blasts weren’t the only things that were racing towards Chrysalis, a large glob of goop, streamers, and confetti as well.

“You won’t get away with this Chrysalis!” the rest of Twilight’s friends shouted as they raced towards where Twilight and the queen was, who brought up a shield to block all the attacks sent against her.

“And none of you are going to survive this day!” Chrysalis then unleashed a huge wave of energy that knocked all of Twilight’s friends, injured or otherwise, back a few feet before they were suspended in the air.

“Now that I have all of you, how should I—wait!” the queen balked as Twilight saw a confused look on her face. “Where is Zack?”

As soon as the queen asked where Zack was, Twilight actually noticed that throughout this whole ordeal, Zack was nowhere to be seen. She would’ve thought for certain that seeing one of her closest friends be impaled by Chrysalis’s horn would’ve definitely caused her to go ballistic, like how she reacted to when Discord manipulated her life. But when Twilight was wondering where her look alike was, a deep chill ran down her spine…a familiar chill. And it seemed that everypony else seemed to have taken noticed of the same deep chilling presence. Then following the frigid sensation creeping over her body, Twilight felt an incredible uncomfortable heat start permeating the area, it was becoming so hot that Twilight was gasping for air as her body was overheating and sweating bucket loads. That’s when Twilight heard this loud thunderous ‘KABOOM’ come from behind her, before a turbulent force knocked Twilight, her friends, and queen Chrysalis to the ground.

Recovering from the force Twilight looked to where it came from, and where her eyes landed was where Thorax was still laying limp on the ground, and slouched over him was Zack. but something was wrong! Unlike the last two times Zack went berserk, her magical essence just bleed out of her like a broken facet. This time however…was different. Twilight watched as Zack’s slouched over body was convulsing and twitching, like she was having a seizure, and her wings were spasming all over the place that it looked like they were trying to detach from the pale alicorns body. That’s when Twilight noticed that her doppelgangers magic took on a more opaque dark purple coloration, almost pitch black, which then started to cover Zack’s entire body as if it was sludge until the alicorn was nothing more than a gelatinous pile of goop.

A moment later Twilight watched as the sludge started to boil and bubble, with fumes and fire huffing and puffing from each popped bubble, which is followed by a horrendous smell. As if something has been left rotting in the desert sun. just then the bubbling and gurgling sludge harden as a heavy sensation started bare down on Twilight, but this oppressive presence was quickly overlooked when the harden mound started to crack.

Then in a sudden eruption, a large pair of wings stood straight up, but they weren’t identical wings. The wing on the right was black with some shades of red spread across its ruffled and unkept feathers, while the left wing was black as well but instead of having shades of red, the left wing had shades of blue and looked to be soggy and limp. Once the wings emerged from the mound the rest of Zack’s body started to emerge, but like the wings Twilight saw that her friend’s body has undergone a change. Zack’s body was now bigger, at least as big as Luna or Cadence maybe a bit bigger, and her coat has turned black as well, but like her wings her body had shades of red and blue blended into it. But as more and more of Zack’s body emerged from the mound, Twilight saw more changes to her twins body. From her mane and tail seemingly split in two, with one side being incredibly frizzy, primarily reddish in color and was giving off a faint heat wave, while one side looked wavy and floaty, and had droplets of black fluid waft from it before evaporating

“What is this?” Twilight heard Chrysalis asked in utter confusion. But Twilight paid the queen’s remark no mind, and just kept her eyes on the newly transformed Zack, whose left ear twitched at the queens voice.

Twilight then watched as her friend turned to face the group, and once she did Zack revealed that her face was basically featureless and smooth, with only having two blank glowing white eyes. Eyes that are encircled by the same green and purple flames that Twilight saw last time, and her horn which is now as long as Celestia’s crackled and arced black electricity.

“What in Equestria happened to her?” Rarity asked with a tone of dread in her voice.

“It doesn’t matter.” Chrysalis said as she stood and took a commanding and dominating pose, while Twilight watched her transformed doubles head slowly turn to the right, before stopping with sickening crack.

“Even if she changes her form, she’s still no match for me.” Twilight watched as the queen started to charge up her horn with magic, she quickly turned towards her double to warn her, but Twilight saw Zack’s horn just send out small jolt of black lightning towards Chrysalis in almost in the blink of an eye. But all the spark did was just gently tap the queen on the chest.

“Hahahahahaha. What was that suppose to accomplish?” Chrysalis mocked while giving a hearty laugh, but Twilight just watched as an eerie elongated smile started form on Zack’s featureless face. “What are you smiling for—”

The queen was cut off in Twilight watched Chrysalis’s body explode into horrible display of viscera, which caused not just Twilight but everypony that was conscious to scream out in horror. Chrysalis’s bodily remains twisted and warped as all of her green blood crystalizes, and sticks all the torn muscles, ripped vertebrae, shattered carapace, and scattered entrails in a statue of utter carnage. With the center piece being Chrysalis’s head, whose expression was left in a wide eyed state of uncertainty, as if she couldn’t comprehend what just happened. But as Twilight was reeling in the utter horror that just took before her, her attention shifted to Zack as actually started to laugh? The twisted form of her twin started cackle and laugh as a dementated mad mare, but it then shifted to, sobbing, and crying while the twisted alicorn’s body started to reel and arch away, while her wings encased around her. But the wails of sorrow shifted back to the maniacal laughter as the mare just, pranced around the place, before stopping and bolting up into the air at blinding speeds leaving only sparks of fire and black electricity.

“…Twi…what, what just happened?” Applejack asked after a few moments of silence go by.

“I…I think Zack just, became something like Nightmare Moon.” Twilight theorized as she got to her hooves. “But we first need to get Thorax and Rainbow Dash to a hospital.”

“We can handle that.” Starlight said as she levitated Thorax’s body over the group, while Rarity did the same with Rainbow Dash. “You head off to Canterlot and tell the princess on what just happened.”

“Okay, I’ll see guys later.” And with that Starlight teleported the whole gang back to Ponyville, but before Twilight teleported away she looked back to the gruesome aftermath of Chrysalis’s end.

“It didn’t have to end this way Chrysalis…but I guess its to late to make a change now.” After giving her final thoughts to Chrysalis’s, corpse, Twilight used her magic to teleport away.
