Chrysalis couldn't help but notice one day that the sun didn't come up at it's usual time until a couple of hours later when it finally did.

"Strange." Chrysalis noted, still disguised as Ver Quearo. "Very Strange." She said. Suddenly she heard some shouting outside and went outside to investigate only to see a giant centaur had imprisoned the friends of Twilight Sparkle and seemed to have drained them of their magic. But what struck her more so was the fact that Amiticia was not drained of magic and was still contained.

No! Not him! Not Tirek! Chrysalis thought to herself. Suddenly Twilight showed up and started battling Tirek. At one point, Twilight teleported back to her library house to grab her pet owl. But just as she took the time to check where Tirek was, he was about to blast the library itself.

"! No!" Chrysalis said and jumped in front of the blast, taking it at more or less point blank range. The attack however proved to be too much for her and she was sent flying with the blast carrying her and Tirek destroyed the library anyways. But thanks to Chrysalis taking the blunt of the attack, Twilight was able to get her pet owl out and a few books too. This action didn't come without it's consequences, Chrysalis's disguise was destroyed, and she was barely hanging on. Amiticia and everyone else went wide eyed.

"CHRYSALIS?!" The Main 6 all said at once.

"MOTHER?!" Amiticia yelled out. He suddenly gained newfound strength and broke the cage containing him and the main 6 and ran right over to Chrysalis who was clearly on the verge of death. "Mother, why did you do that? And why have you been here searching for some sort of answer?!" Amiticia exclaimed.

"Your father...was right..." Chrysalis got out, coughing as she spoke. "And I'm afraid...I won't be lasting much longer...after an attack like that..." She continued, still coughing. "Just do me one favor...tell the other changelings...tell them there's an option for peace...tell them they can live together with ponies in peace...and fulfill your father's will...and now my will as well..." Chrysalis said. "Because from here on out, Amiticia...your in charge of the changelings..." She added before she started close her eyes one last time. "Long...live...the king..." Chrysalis said just before she got out one final breath.

"Mother?" Amiticia asked. Tirek took this time to drain Twilight of her magic. "Mother please don't go..." Amiticia said. "Mother please..." He added. But it was too late: The former changeling queen was no more. She was gone. She had sacrificed her life to make sure Twilight had more time to get things out of the library. An act that resonated with all changelings. But of all of them it resonated with, one stood out amongst all others.

"She's really gone..." Twilight said. Amiticia suddenly turned his attention to Tirek.

"LORD TIREK!" Amiticia exclaimed which caught Tirek's attention. "YOU MAY HAVE KILLED MY MOTHER, BUT YOU WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING MORE TODAY!" Amiticia said. A piece of chrysalis's now damaged wings floated down and rested in front of Twilight. She realized what it must be.

"Is this...the final key?" Twilight asked.

"If it is, don't waste time here. Go. I'll hold him off as long as I can." Amiticia said. "AND YOU! LORD TIREK! YOU ARE GOING DOWN!" He added before suddenly he began to glow. "FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OF MY FRIENDS, AND TO ENACT THE WILL OF MY MOTHER...YOU WILL NOT BE VICOTRIOUS FOR VERY LONG!" Amiticia said before he suddenly let loose a giant beam of light at Tirek which toppled the Centaur but then Amiticia was wrapped in a glowing coccoon. When Twilight touched it, Amiticia emerged from the Caccooon, changed.

"Amiticia...you look different..." Twilight said. Amiticia noticed his reflection in a nearby broken piece of glass from the now destroyed library.

"Yeah I look different but I don't feel any different. But I...I don't feel hungry anymore." Amiticia said. "Now go! Get that piece of Chrysalis's wing to the box. I'll hold Tirek for as long as I can!" He added. Twilight nodded and headed off. When she and the main 6 rose up in their new forms, Amiticia soon joined them in the air as Tirek tried to blast them but found himself unable to.

"HOW DO YOU STILL HAVE MAGIC? I TOOK ALL OF YOUR MAGIC?!" Tirek said.

"Wrong Tirek. You only took Twilight's Alicorn magic." Amiticia said.

"But I still have the most powerful magic of all." Twilight said.

"AND THAT IS THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!" Both Amiticia and Twilight said together before suddenly the group of seven launched the Friendship Laser at Tirek which returned his stolen magic to it's rightful owners and even imprisoned Tirek back in Tartarus.

"We...we did it." Amiticia said. "But mother...she lost her life to that beast..." He added. Twilight put a hoof on Amiticia said.

"She lives on through you; she entrusted the future of changelings to you, Amiticia." Twilight said before a castle suddenly grew up from the ground.

"This...must be your castle, Twilight." Amiticia said.

"Not just her castle, Amiticia." Celestia said as she and the other alicorns soon arrived.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Amiticia said.

"Chrysalis may have been bad during her lifetime, but her final act was to make sure you would carry on her wish. And while Twilight's title is no question; being the Princess of Friendship; you Amiticia, play a much bigger role then you realize. For you, Amiticia, have been entrusted with the title of The Changeling of Friendship." Luna said.

"The Changeling of Friendship huh?" Amiticia said before smiling. "I could get used to that title." He added. Discord finally arrived.

"I apologize Princesses...but Tirek wasted no time in draining me of my magic." Discord said.

"It's okay Discord. You did your best." Fluttershy assured the draconques.

"Thank you, Fluttershy." Discord said.

"Yeah. I can't really fault him for trying." Rainbow Dash said.

"But let's worry about that later; let's check out Twilight's brand new castle!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Classic Pinkie Pie..." Amiticia said but before he entered with the others, he looked up at the sky. "Mom...dad...I hope your watching over me. I'm going to do you two proud. Or I will unable to live up to the title of The Changeling of Friendship." Amiticia said to the sky.

"Who are you talking to?" Twilight asked.

"Mother and father of course. I'm sure even now their watching over us." Amiticia said.

"I think they are too." Twilight said, smiling as she nuzzled Amiticia who nuzzled the princess back.

High above the pair, a smiling pair of ghost changeling royals looked down at the duo. The changeling King and Queen were reunited at last, and they looked forward to seeing where Amiticia goes from here.

Author's Note

The title dropped in this chapter inside of it, but rest assured there's more to come. And most importantly, while there was a lot going on here, this is not the finale of Season 2. Rather we are only halfway done. Stick around after "MLP: Time Patrol" is completed alongside "Dawn of Friendship" because that's when this story will pick back up.
