Eclipsed Truth

Title: Eclipsed Truth
Chapter 68: Flames of Hatred, Fires of Justice

The Wedding of Eclipse and Vinyl

Canterlot was alive with celebration. The grand hall of the castle had been beautifully decorated with icy blue and deep red banners, symbolizing Eclipse and Vinyl’s union. Ponies from all over Equestria had gathered, including their closest friends and allies. Even Chrysalis—reluctantly—stood alongside Silver Tart, who had insisted on attending.

“I can’t believe this is actually happening,” Vinyl whispered to Eclipse as they stood at the altar. “I’m marrying the most badass mare in all of Equestria.”

Eclipse smirked, her heart swelling. “And I’m marrying the most amazing DJ to ever live.”

Princess Celestia stood before them, a proud smile on her face. “Today, we celebrate the bond between these two souls, forged in hardship and strengthened by love.”

But just as she was about to continue, screams erupted outside.

The Order Strikes—Canterlot in Flames

The last 100 members of the Order of Purity had disguised themselves as wedding guests, guards, and even castle staff. At an unseen signal, they began setting fires across the city, sending Canterlot into chaos.

Explosions rang out as flaming debris crashed into buildings. Citizens panicked, stampeding through the streets.

“EVERYPONY STAY CALM!” Twilight yelled, her horn flaring as she cast protective barriers over as many ponies as possible.

“They’re trying to ruin my wedding?” Eclipse growled, her eyes flashing dangerously. “They just made the biggest mistake of their lives.”

She ripped off her wedding dress, revealing her black battle armor beneath it, and took off into the sky.

Vinyl, still in her tux, tossed aside her sunglasses. “Buck the honeymoon, let’s clean up some trash!”

Chrysalis and Silver Tart’s Revenge

While Twilight, Eclipse, and the others protected civilians, Chrysalis hunted.

Disguises meant nothing to her changeling senses. She could smell their fear, hear the way their hearts pounded.

With Silver Tart at her side, she moved like a shadow, striking down Order members one by one.

She cornered a group of five, who were preparing to bomb the marketplace. They barely had time to scream before her magic sliced through them, leaving only dust behind.

Silver Tart tackled another three, using his sword to cut them down, his eyes burning with fury.

“You think you can just destroy lives and walk away?” he spat. “Not today.”

By the time they finished their bloody purge, half of the Order was dead.

Eclipse vs. the Last Survivors

The remaining 50 Order members attempted to flee, but Eclipse wasn’t done.

Her wings beat violently, a storm of frost and wind swirling around her.

She slammed down into the ground, sending a wave of ice spreading across the streets, freezing dozens of enemies in place.

“NO MORE!” she roared, her voice shaking the city.

With a final pulse of magic, she shattered the ice, destroying 30 more members instantly.

The remaining 20 Order members, seeing their imminent defeat, tried to retreat into the underground tunnels of Canterlot.

But they wouldn’t get far.

To Be Continued…

The wedding had turned into a battlefield, but Canterlot stood strong.

With only 20 enemies left, the Order of Purity was all but eradicated.

And Eclipse, standing amidst the wreckage, turned back toward the castle.

“This was supposed to be our day,” she muttered. Then, turning to Vinyl, she smirked. “Wanna finish what we started?”

Vinyl laughed, taking Eclipse’s hoof. “Let’s get married, babe. And then? Let’s finish this fight.”
