An unexpected outcome

Chapter 11: The Battle of Canterlot, part 2.

The sounds of battle were everywhere in the city, and ponies were being captured, some buildings were on fire. Cadence watched in horror as the guard were failing to stop the invasion, everypony who tried to stop the changelings were captured. Itachi ran out of the doors, Cadence was shocked at what he was doing.

"He will not be enough to stop my army!" Chrysalis said with pride.

"Just you wait, you will still fail this day!" Cadence shouted back.

Itachi saw as ponies were placed in groups and bounded with some green sticky slime. A changeling landed in front of the unicorn, but, was kicked in the throat hard enough to snap the neck killing it. Others saw the act, different reactions were on their faces, civilians were shocked at the open act of killing. Guards were mentally kicking themselves they didn't even use lethal forces to fight the enemy, and other changelings were enraged at their comrade being killed. They charged at the unicorn, they learned that was their last mistake when they made eye contact.

"Amaterasu," Itachi said under his breath.

The six bug ponies burnt into nothing, not even leaving ash behind, Itachi used charka to free the ponies. The guards thanked him and the civilians ran away fearing him, Itachi knew that would happen, even if it hurt. He continued his attack on the enemy forces. Down one street ponies were being herded, and some were being attacked.

"Fire style phoenix flower jutsu!" Itachi called out.

The fire projectiles flew through the air only hitting changelings, they thought it would do nothing, but they were wrong. The fire was burning them alive, and their burnt corpses dropped to the ground leaving an empty shell, with the smell of burning flesh in the air. Itachi freed the ponies before they could say anything, he then vanished with a body flicker.

Soon he landed across some more changelings and attacked.

Itachi yelled out "Water style water bullet jutsu!"

Small balls of water shot out of his mouth at fast speeds, they didn't blast through their bodies but hit with enough power they still died from the force. This was happening through out the city, Itachi would flicker over and attack with the intent to kill. He stopped when he saw his friends were about to be killed, he knew that if he did what he was goinf to do, they will hate him.

"I will rather be hated than see my friends die!" Itachi said to himself.

He flickered in front of the six ponies who were tasked in getting the elements of harmony, they were all shocked, especially Rainbow dash, she had never seen speed performed so silently before.

They all saw him take a large breath of air puffing his chest out, before they could react they saw what happened.

"Fire style fire annihilation jutsu!" Itachi thought.

A large fireball exploded from Itachi's mouth, Twilight and Spike knew he could do that, but this was never that large. The fire formed a wall and pushed fowared burning the unlucky shapeshifters alive. The smell of death was starting to fill the air, and before anyone could react, a green blast hit Itachi in the face, sending him to the ground.

Again the group was surrounded by the enemy, with no choice they surrendered, and the eight were taken to the throne room. Celestia was in a cocoon hanging off the ceiling, seeing that everypony failed in stopping the invasion it felt like nothing could stop Chrysalis.

Itachi had a lot of restraints, on his legs, horn, and muzzle, Chrysalis had a shit-eating grin on her face.

"See, useless in the end, I will win, now go my children feed!" Chrysalis said with pure pride.

"Uh, queen, our forces were cut by half," one of the changelings said.

"WHAT! How is that possible?!" Chrysalis questioned in rage.

The changelings all pointed at Itachi, and Chrysalis's rage was so strong you could swear she was going to burst into fire. The changelings reading the room left to avoid what was going to happen. Chrysalis picked up Itachi and threw him to a wall then to another, this continued until she dropped him on the ground, he was bloody and badly hurt.

Twilight saw some of the ribs were broken but they didn't puncture a lung, she still saw that he had a hard time breathing.

"Why would he kill them? I just don't understand? No, something is not right, he has to have a good reason for that... Right?" Twilight thought worried about what the future held.

"That, you rat, is for killing my changelings! It's funny, really both Itachi and Twilight had suspicions of me from the beginning, and what good friends you all were not even trusting them for a second. In fact, I am more shocked at you Celestia I thought you listened to your ponies, I guess I was wrong. And because of that, your friend is going to die, and after saving your lives," Chrysalis stated in a mocking tone.

The six realized that Chrysalis was going to kill Itachi, before they were captured they were going to stop Itachi from killing. In their minds he was just as bad as them, but, hearing he did it to protect them reminded five of them of a certain memory over a month ago.

"A friend of mine said those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum" the voice of Itachi echoed in the minds of Twilight's friends.

Could they forgive, even after what happened, it may be hard, and they were going to do it without knowing what to do but they could, nothing was stronger than friendship.

"I'm sorry Twilight, Itachi, we should have at last put more faith in the both of ya," Applejack said to the two.

"It is all right, she fulled everypony," Twilight replied.

"Hmmm, yes, yes I did," Chrysalis stated.

♩ This day has been just perfect, The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small. Everypony I'll soon control Every stallion, mare, and foal, Who says a girl can't really have it all? [evil laugh] ♩

She was looking over the city on the balcony not noticing what was happening behind her. Twilight sneaked over to Cadence and with her magic freed the pink alicorn.

"Go to him, he needs you," Twilight said.

Cadence walked to Shining armor who was still under mind control, Cadence gave a smile trying to get a reaction. She hugged him as she cried, using some of her last power she cast a spell, that was in the shape of a heart. When it landed on Shining armor's face, he blinked a couple of times, his eyes returned to normal looking around confused he asked, "Is the wedding over?"

"It will all be over," Chrysalis said as she landed in front of the two.

"Your spell, use your spell!" Twilight shouted.

Shining armor concentrated his magic on his horn, but after a couple of seconds, it fizzled out of excistance.

"HAHAHA, You're too late, the city is under my control already," Chrysalis said in victory.

"Here let me lend my magic," Cadence offered.

Shining armor tried again, this time Cadence used her magic in the spell, instead of a pink glow, it turned into a purple light. It expanded into a dome of magic pushing Chrysalis and the remaining changelings out of the city into the badlands. The dome had freed the captured ponies and healed those who were injured, Itachi stood up, to see the ponies who he called friends walk over.

"I guess this is it," Itachi thought saddened.

The seven had walked up and were getting ready to speak, but, none didn't know what to say until Fluttershy walked closer.

"You did something at was awful today, and horrible, I wished you at least tried... A non-deadly way, but, you were scared of losing us, so, I am willing to forgive you," Fluttershy said as she hugged Itachi on his neck.

"I know that was not cool, but, you did save our butts, so, I am with Fluttershy as well," Rainbow dash added joining the hug.

The others joined in as well, even Spike joined in, and unseen by the others a couple of tears fell from Itachi's face. This world was changing him and this time it was better, he was expecting them to reject him, but they did the opposite, and accepted him.

"Sasuke, I wished we lived in this world, we could have had a normal life one without war," Itachi thought saddened for his sibling.

Celestia walked over and said, "I am sorry that I didn't take your warning seriously, I knew there was a threat, and I ignored the possibility that somepony impersonated Cadence."

"Don't worry about it, we can't turn back the clock and fix our mistakes," Itachi replied with a long look into space.

"(Sigh) Yes you are right, still, I felt I had to apologize for what I said to you before," Celestia stated.

The group looked at Cadence, and Shining armor, seeing how the two were just happy to be close to each other.

"I guess, love is stronger than I thought," Itachi said to no one.

The group burst into laughter, and Itachi was confused at what everypony was laughing about.

"Yes, love is very strong when allowed to bloom," Celestia stated with a smile.

~~Two Weeks Later~~

During the two weeks, the city was repaired, and both Itachi and Shining armor got to know each other. Shining armor tried to use the big brother tactic to scare Itachi only to find it didn't work, Itachy assured the unicorn he had nothing to fear, and that he is also a big brother. The two bonded fast, they talked about their time as soldiers, nothing to classified, and during one night, Shining armor asked Itachi to be the best stallion with Twilight being the best mare.

On the day of the wedding Twilight and her friends were dressed in dresses, and he with Spike were both wearing a tuxedo suit. Itachi was not used to this style of clothing, for some reason it itched in places he could not reach.

The doors opened and the birds began to sing here comes the bride, as she walked down the carpet. In front were Apple bloom, Sweetie bell, and Scootaloo, Itachi remembered his time with the three fillies when he was affected by the poison joke.

"Ok, I know why the queen of the changelings wanted to be with you(Itachi fought back a laugh at that), but how did you Get Cadence to marry you?" Twilight asked interested.

"Well, I just said that not only would she get a great husband, but she would also get a great sister as well," Shining armor answered.

Rarity was wiping away tears, and Applejack put on her hat while Rarity wasn't looking. When Cadence was standing next to shining armor, the two turned to face Celestia.

"Mares and Gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of the real Cadence, and Shining armor, the bond between these two ponies is clear. The power of their love is undeniable, the rings if you please," Celestia said.

As spike handed the rings over, Celestia took them with her magic.

"By the powers invested in me, by the country of Equestria, I pronounce you, husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride," Celestia announced.

Cadence and Shining armor shared a kiss, Rainbow dash remembering her queue flew up into the air causing a sonic rainboom to a pair. Itachi was shocked at the display, and the others had a knowing look on their faces.

"Twilight, Itachi, you both won this day as well, don't forget the extent you both went to keep Equestria safe dont forget that," Celestia said in a caring tone.

~~Three Houres Later~~

The sun set but the party was still going on, Pinky pie parties are the best parties, and everypony was having a good time. Both Cadence and Shining armor were having their dance, Luna flew in and joined the party.

"Greetings everypony, did I miss anything," Luna asked interested.

Twilight gave a nod and Pinky pie ran over to the D.J. booth and put on a different song, she tossed a microphone to Twilight who began to sing.

During the party, Luna walked over to Itachi.

"So we finally get to meet not in the dream realm?" Luna implied.

"Yes, it is nice to meet you in person," Itachi said.

"And it is nice to meet you in person as well," Luna replied.

"How has your time with young Twilight?" Luna asked.

"It has been nice, at least I managed to convince Shining armor I mean no threat to Twilight," Itachi answered.

"Ah, yes, older siblings always want what's best for their younger siblings," Luna stated.

That punched Itachi in the heart, even though he wanted what was best for Sasuke, he still turned out hate-filled like the other Uchiha that came before.

In a cave far away, a pony was sitting on a throne in the shadows, their fur was white as snow, and had an aura of power around them.

A pony dressed like a ninja walked up and bowed.

"My lord, I have news of the invasion," the ninja said.

"And, I don't have all day?" the mystery pony asked a bit annoyed.

The ninja gulped and said, "I-it failed, it seems there was a pony who cut the changeling forces by half. They said he breathed fire like a dragon, and that he used powerful forms of water attacks. Lastly, they said his eyes looked like they had three-pointed throwing stars instead of normal eyes."

The pony on the throne widen his eyes, and asked in a demanding voice, "WHAT IS HIS NAME?!"

"H-h-h-his, n-n-name i-i-is, Itachi Uchiha my lord," the ninja said fearing for his life.

The pony gave a loud laugh, and said, "Thank you and from now on say my name."

The ninja nodded and replied, "Yes lord Orochimaru."
