Something to change everything
Chapter 7: Cadence
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJacob and Bad Guy got words that someone named Shining Armor invited "Twilight and her friends" to Canterlot for a wedding. "I still have no idea why I'm included, I've made it plenty clear that Twilight's not my friend," Bad Guy says.
"Maybe you shouldn't complain, this might be fun, finally a day where none of us have to do shit," Jacob replies, "So... just pretend for Twilight... okay, maybe not her but... pretend for Sweetie Belle you are friends with Twilight just long enough for the wedding to be over. I'm sure Princess Mi Amore Cadenza will be thrilled to meet you... even if you're still a villain."
Bad Guy sighs in annoyence but says nothing else. As the train gets close to the city, Bad Guy and Jacob immediately notices a shield around Canterlot. "The hell's the shield for?" Bad Guy asks as the train pulls into the station.
"No idea but now... I'm worried," Jacob answers.
All 11 member of the group eventually reach where this "Mi Amore Cadenza" is and when they see her... Bad Guy feels something off. "Miss Cadenza, I couldn't help but notice your ambient magic is... suspicious. No offense but... I don't think you're the real Cadenza," Bad Guy says making everyone(except Jacob) look at him like he's crazy, "Well, let me explain. See, in the time I've been in Equestria, I've gotten to know the magical signiture of ponies very very well and, you wanna know this 'Mi Amore Cadenza,' you don't match it. Not by a mile. So, why don't you cut the shit and reveal who you really are before I just kill you?" Bad Guy added as "Cadenza" looked genuinely shocked that somepony could see through her guise.
Bad Guy smirked as "Cadenza" tried to defend herself but everything she said got counteracted by Bad Guy while Jacob looked straight at "Cadenza," running his special diagnostic spell in his eyes. "'Queen Chrysalis, the queen of changelings hiding are the princess of love Cadence'... what's a changeling?" Jacob asked as Chrysalis' jaw dropped.
Every part of her plan fell apart in one... single... sitting. "I genuinely cannot believe two ponies saw through my disguise..." Chrysalis said.
"It's helps that despite Twilight knowing Cadenza, or Cadence as she's also called by Jacob's special diagnostic spell, since foalhood, you seemed to only know her very little which is... yeah no. Even I know better than to send a shapeshifter to try and replace someone if they know barely anything about the person. My best guess is that the shield is might to keep you and whatever the hell changelings are out," Bad Guy said with a smirk on his face.
Jacob got his controller ready for combat, "Now tell us where the real Cadence is!" Jacob demanded as everypony got into a combat position.
"... sigh... caves under Canterlot. I figured keeping her there would minize my chances of the plan failing... clearly not," Chrysalis said, dejected.
"Thanks for telling us!" Twilight said as everyone except Sweetie Belle and Bad Guy left to find Cadence.
"Aren't you two going to search for her?" Chrysalis asked.
Bad Guy shook his head, "Nah, I could give less shits about being at a wedding so, I'll let the ones that do care find the bride. I'm a villain and yet your display of villainy wasn't what I'd call 'thought out'. Did you even have a plan or do research into your opponents?" Bad Guy asked.
"... I did have a plan incase anypony got suspicious. Trap them in the caves of Canterlot but you and that colt basically made my disguise and thus plan worthless since I didn't have a chance to leave with the ones that believed me so I could get rid of you two," Chrysalis explained.
"But...you prepared for one situation exclusively, I heard from Bad Guy that he had prepared for many multiples of situations, that he had back-up among back-up plans," Sweetie Belle said causing Chrysalis to sigh in true and utter defeat.
Chrysalis finally drops the disguise as Bad Guy seems interested. "A bug-pony... interesting... I'll tell you this, next time you want to be a villain, Chrysalis, think about every possible situation instead of just one. Sure there will be that one situation you didn't prepare for but that comes with being a villain," Bad Guy says as Chrysalis looks... more cheerful that before.
The group returns with princess Cadence who immediately says something about brainwashed bridesmaids or some shit and the wedding takes a whole ass day to get ready.
So that's why Bad Guy is sitting in a chair, watching a mushy wedding that he didn't even want to be at and he's pretty sure everyone noticed that because Jacob told him that he can go outside on Luna's, the moon princess btw, orders.
Bad Guy stood up and went outside and noone paid him any mind. As he sat down on a bench, many ponies gave him looks that said they knew what he was. However one foal came up to him and just laid next to him. "Why did this foal come to me?" Bad Guy asked as a mare came up to find the foal. "Is this foal your's?" Bad Guy asked as the mare shook her head.
"No... he kinda ran off from his... home. He... well... he needs to go back," the mare said getting ready to grab the colt.
Bad Guy grabbed her hooves, "Tell me the location at which he lives I'll deliver him there," he said as the mare got out a map of Canterlot and pointed a very specific part of it.
Bad Guy went there with the colt on his back and found it to be an... orphanage. Bad Guy didn't care one bit but he had to admit. No one on Brendan's green earth should have to live in an orphanage. Oh well. Not his problem.
Bad Guy walked into the oprhanage and return the colt to them and left, Twilight and must be getting ready to leave. As Bad Guy walked away, that small colt looked through the window as somepony he knew would care walked off. It is far from over.
