World War Equus

Cadence rushed to the Crystal Empire and Flurry Heart headed to the Changeling Kingdom to get everyone ready. They spread the word that Chrysalis was attacking and that some of her bombs were enhanced with changeling slime to maximize power. Brandon had reported that the changelings would be the first target, so Thorax had everyone get up early to get all of the defense systems up. Chrysalis' plane was spotted on radar two hours before dawn and the guns rang out as soon as she was in sight.

She was about to drop her first round of bombs when a flashbang blinded her. The bright flash gave an opportunity for Ocellus to fire her custom-made experimental weapon. As Cadence said, the missile spewed molten metal and sealed the doors shut on Chrysalis' plane, making it temporarily impossible for her to drop bombs. She began firing her guns and took out twelve changelings along with four defense turrets. One of her missiles reached the castle and weakened a pillar. Thorax would have been crushed to death, but Pharynx pushed him out of the way in sacrificing himself for his brother. Devastated and enraged, Thorax climbed to the castle's pinnacle and fired a blast from his horns. The blast shattered Chrysalis' cockpit window and forced her to put on an oxygen mask to breathe properly.

"If I can't exact my wrath here, then I will do so at my other target!", she shouted as she left the Changeling Kingdom and flew north.

Brandon climbed on Flurry Heart's back and gave pursuit. He received a radio call from Cadence that Chrysalis had struck. He urged Flurry to fly faster and they soon reached the Crystal Empire. They were met with chaos. Fires were raging from several of her bombs being dropped and many of the houses had been burnt to the ground. Chrysalis was using a tactic of swooping down and then turning around again to drop her bombs incrementally. When she pulled out of another swoop, she flew over his head and turned back to drop more bombs. Flurry noticed that the strong force had yanked twenty of her feathers off and she began screaming angrily.

"HOW DARE YOU MESS UP MY WINGS!"

Becoming angry himself, Brandon shot an arrow that severed the coolant line to the plane's engines, causing them to overheat. When the engines began to glow orange, Chrysalis realized that she was in danger and ejected as she approached the Crystal Empire again. The plane crashed to the ground and exploded in the outskirts, causing a blazing fire. The blast was intensified by the remaining bombs going off at the same time, which resulted in two watchtowers being destroyed. Chrysalis thought she had evaded the explosion, but shrapnel from her plane exploding came flying at a high velocity and clipped both of her wings. This made her unable to fly properly and slow down. Without the ability to slow down, she slammed face first into the outside of the palace at such a high speed that she was squashed and killed instantaneously in a slimy and bloody mess. The fire took three and a half hours to extinguish completely and thirty of the crystal ponies were killed in the battle. Twelve perished in fires, ten were shot by Chrysalis' guns, and the last eight were killed in bomb blasts. Once it was confirmed that Chrysalis was dead, Brandon left the Empire and hurried to reunite with his fellow soldiers while Cadence, and Flurry Heart helped repair the damages.
