Groom Hornwell's 2022

The pursuit of Chrysalis reached Canterlot’s center. There on the ground, a crowd of ponies was standing still, watching at the show of lights and lasers in the sky. Unlike the soldiers and Flurry Heart, Twilight Sparkle had stopped pursuing Chrysalis. Instead, she went on a different direction, attracting the enormous dragon’s attention. “I’ll deal with the dragon, you keep chasing her!” Twilight had told Flurry.

Twilight took a turn on the left, flying over the School for Gifted Unicorns.

Spike roared behind her, spitting green fire that almost reached Twilight.

“Spike, stop this!” Twilight shouted.

They got the coliseum, flying over it. Twilight flew in zigzags, dodging the fire spat by the beast. They were moving in circles around the stadium.

“Fire all you want, I’m not letting you this!” She shouted and then flew upside down, getting behind of Spike.

Twilight looked Spike’s back, from tail to head. Her eyes, running through his scales, stopped on his neck. He was wearing a necklace.

Spike turned around, almost generating a tornado with his sudden movement. He locked his green feline eyes with Twilight’s.

Twilight took a look on his necklace again. It was a golden medal with the symbol of the star of her cutiemark. It was a bigger version of the medal she had given him when the Council of Friendship was created, almost a century ago.

Spike and Twilight stared at each other for a few seconds. Then Spike’s medal glowed. He roared.

“Spike, take off that necklace! It’s controlling you!” Twilight shouted, flying away from him.

“It’s pointless, haha!” A voice behind Twilight said. Queen Chrysalis. She had got there, still being pursued by Flurry and the soldiers. She started to fly around the coliseum shouting and laughing. “He’s under my control!”

Flurry and the soldiers stopped chasing Chrysalis when they saw the dragon. Spike had landed in the center of the stadium. He attempted to grab Twilight with his claws, but she dodged him every time. “Twilight!” Flurry yelled and began to approach her aunt.

“Flurry, stay away!” Twilight ordered, dodging another strike of Spike. Flurry stopped in mid-air, with the soldiers behind her.

“But aunt!”

“No buts, Flurry, just go for Chrysalis! She is controlling the dragon with her necklace! Grab it from her!”

Flurry nodded and saw Chrysalis behind the dragon. She and the soldiers took flight to get her.

Chrysalis flew away again. “Hahaha, Spike, kill ‘em all!” her red heart necklace and Spike’s medal glowed.

Then Spike took flight off the coliseum ground and started to chase Flurry and the soldiers.

“Split up!” Flurry exclaimed. The soldiers behind here went on different directions. But the dragon kept pursuing Flurry.

Chrysalis was watching the chaos many legs of distance in the air, laughing nonstop.

Twilight looked at her and took flight. She chased after Chrysalis. She looked at Twilight and started to fly away.

“You are about to lose another relative, Twily! Hahaha!” Chrysalis said.

Twilight was only a few legs away from Chrysalis. “How dare you control my little brother!” She was so close of reaching Chrysalis. She wanted to blast her with her horn magic, but she needed the necklace intact.

“Oh, you want this?” Chrysalis, turning around and flying backwards, pressed the gem necklace against her chest with a hoof. “I’m sorry but you, dictator, can’t have everything!”

Twilight blasted Chrysalis on her neck with her magic.

“Agh! No!” Chrysalis screamed in pain.

The red heart necklace exploded into tiny little pieces.
