After freeing everypony, we followed Chrysalis out of the caves and back into Equestria. I looked around and noticed that the entire sky had gone dark, and was covered with thundering grey clouds. I frowned at this and turned to Chrysalis.

"This is your sisters fault isn't it." I said.

She looked down, obviously upset by it. "...Yes..."

"It's okay, the least you can do is help us defeat her." I said, placing my arm around her. She looked up at me with a solemn look.

"I understand my reasons for wanting to take over, but she does it because she feels she should be the rightful ruler of Equestria. I don't want to hurt her, after all, she is the only family I have left." She explained sadly as she looked back down.

I took my hand and placed it under her chin, lifting her head so she was facing me.

"I want you to listen to me, what Monochrome is doing, it's wrong and she needs to be stopped. I need you to trust me when I say this, but we are your family now, and we will all be here for you." I said smiling as I gestured to the rest of the girls, who in turn smiled back.

Tears started rolling down her face again as she hugged me.

Chrysalis POV

I couldn't help myself. For some reason, Alan just made me feel happier than I ever had. He made me feel loved, and accepted. And, although I fed off it, it was a wonderful feeling. I looked back up at him as he wiped my tears away. We both went in for a kiss and had entered our own little world, that was until somepony cleared their throat, bringing us back to reality.

I felt my face get hot as I looked away, hiding my blush.

"Okay, so are we going to go kick some flank or what?" Rainbow said, flapping her wings eagerly as she hovered next to them. I could feel her love of flying kick in as soon as we left the cave. She really did enjoy it.

"I'm guessing your sister is in Canterlot?" Alan said.

"Monochrome is there now with her army and mine. We need to get there quickly if we are to stop her. I can't let my army do any harm, and who knows, if all turns out right, maybe we changelings can fix the wrongs we've caused." I said.

"Hey Twi, can you teleport a whole group of ponies?" Alan asked.

"Sure, it's going to take a lot of magic though, and right now, I'm not feeling too good." She said, making her horn glow faintly. It was a lot dimmer than before, which meant that her body had undergone enough trauma to cause it to try to protect her magic. I immediately felt myself get weighed down by guilt. It was going to be a while before I would be able to feel somewhat normal again. I doubt I'll ever be able to rid myself of the guilt though.

"Wait, Chrysalis, Do you think you can teleport us?" Rainbow asked.

I was surprised. I had never really used a teleportation spell before.

"Well, I don't really know the spell." I said, smiling weakly.

"That's okay, I can tell it to you." Twilight said happily. She trotted over to me and told me the spell, Visualizing it in my head, I channeled my magic along with the spell, into my horn, which began to glow a brighter green than normal. The next thing I knew, there was a bright flash, a pop and then we were standing right in the middle of Canterlot,

Right in the middle of two armies.

"Chrysalis, you go get control over your changelings and tell them to join the guards." Alan yelled as he took off toward Celestia and Luna, as well as the entire royal guard. I nodded and turned toward my sister and her army. Being a queen has it's perks, especially if those perks involve telepathy with ones subjects.

All of you, listen to me now. Our hatred of ponies is no more, it is Monochrome we should be standing against. Come and fight for your queen! Fight and you all shall be known throughout history! I thought as loud as I could.

At first, there was slight confusion, but almost all, save for a few, flew as fast as the could to the other side, standing against my sister and her army, which was now cut my half.

"Well, hello sister." she said, as she came to meet me in the middle. "It seems you have betrayed us."

"I saw the evil I was doing and with my Alan's help, I put it behind me." I said, my words dripping with anger, like venom.

"Oh, so he's gotten to you too? Ha! Well, lets just see how you feel when I tear his beating heart from his chest and crush it before you!" She yelled as her army charged. Monochrome fired a blast of magic at me, which I dodged easily. But after that, it wasn't so easy. She fired three consecutive blasts, each aimed at and area where I was about to jump. I Couldn't get out of the way, so I did the only thing I could. I countered the middle one with a blast of my own. Charging forward, I attempted to impale her with my horn, but she jumped out of the way and struck the back of my head with her hooves.

I heard a loud scream of anger before All went black.

Alan's POV

I watched as Chrysalis fell to her sister. I let forth a loud cry of anger and hatred. I had never felt so angry, nor alive. I looked around at the chaos of the battle until I found a slain guard. I took his sword in hand and charged the vile witch. She turned to me and fired a blast of energy which I managed to deflect just in time. I got close and swung the sword at her head, but I was too slow, she managed to move out of the way. I felt a couple blasts hit my side as I sunk to one knee. Using the sword, I pushed myself back up and faced her.

"Hahahaha! You just won't give up will you? Ha! This is just too precious. I will enjoy watching you die at my hooves." She said menacingly as she charged me, horn glowing. I charged as well and slashed right as she got close. I felt the sword come into contact as it hit it's mark. I opened my eyes and found that I had completely sliced off her horn. She was staring at it in shock and anguish.

"You! You will pay for that with your life!!!" She yelled as she grabbed a sword from the ground and held it in her teeth. She ran at me and slashed at my legs, I brought my sword down and blocked the blow and countered. I swung my blade around and brought it down toward her head. She brought her own to meet it with a loud clang. She tried stabbing at me a couple times, and I jumped back, trying to avoid having my insides on the outside.

I charged at her and faked a slash to her right, and when she went to block it, I brought my blade over to her left side and struck her side. I felt it as the blade sliced through skin, muscle, fat and bone. It went straight through her middle and clean through the other side. She dropped her sword and looked down at her wound, which was now bleeding profusely. I saw the look in here eyes as she looked back up at me. Anger and fear. I then watched as her body fell to the ground, the life seeping from her body.

All of a sudden, time seemed to stop. All sound ceased as the fighting stopped. All her minions looked in shock as their leader fell. I ran over to Chrysalis as quickly as I could. I knelt down and felt her throat, trying to check for a pulse. I felt her heart beating, meaning she was only unconscious. I smiled and turned toward the others. I watched as Monochrome's minions fled, most in anger, but others in sheer terror.

I picked Chrysalis up and carried her over my shoulders. When I got her over to Celestia, I set her down, and fell, blacking out from exhaustion.
