“Which is the way out!” Spark yells down one of the tunnels.

“I don't know!” Nebula screams, frustrated at the confusion map in his magical grasp.

“Try left!” Firecraft yells before all of them skid to make the diversion.

They stop dead in their tracks at the site before them.

As dozens of changeling's surround the exit to the catacombs, all wearing hungry expressions and hissing.

The quartet stared in shock at the sight before them, offering each other weak glances.

“What do we do?” Nebula looks towards Firecraft, hopelessness painted onto his face.

Firecraft simply huffs, taking a step forward, and drawing his sword.

“We fight to the end.” He says mournfully, before charging. Spark turns towards Reaper, offering him a broken smile.

“It's been an honnor Reaper.” She says, a single tear falling free. He gives her a solemn look and nods. They both gain a look of determination before charging.

Nebula simply closes his eyes, taking a deep breath.

“Celestia have mercy.” He breathes before charging his horn and running with his fellow friends towards their doom.

….......................................................................................................................................

The sound of a door being slammed wide open causes Reeetro to jump in his cell.

He watches as several changeling's barge into the dungeon and begin stalking towards him. He gives them a defiant look before closing his eyes.

“Cadance be safe.” He pleads, as the hissing gets closer.

…...............................................................................................................................

“Now that the pests have been taken care of.” Chrysalis hisses. Stomping away from a floored Celestia and towards an injured Twilight.

“Let's move on the the main course.” Chrysalis taunts, before Cadance steps in front of her.

“You will not touch her!” She cries, eyes filled with passion. Chrysalis just laughs.

“And what are you going to do about it, little pony!” She hisses. “You're weak, you have no strength left! What makes you think that you can defy me!” She towers above Cadance prepared to send the small pony to her grave.

Cadance stares at her eyes filled with pure passion.

“Because I love her.” She says firmly. Earning several gasps from the entire room, including Celestia.

“And you will not hurt her, ever again.” Her eyes begin to glow a bright white, her horn admitting a powerful glow. Chrysalis watches in terror as Cadance's whole body erupts in a giant flash.

Sending her and all the changeling's, hurtling towards the horizon.

…...................................................................................................................................

Firecraft prepares to sling down his weapon before a loud booming sound echos through the caves. He watches in confusion as the several dozen changeling's fly are throw back towards the exit, disappearing entirely.

“What?” Nebula breathes confused. “What happened?” He looks towards Spark and Reaper who have the same confused expressions. Firecraft just breaks out into a smile.

“Eye....... Eye think we just won?” He feels a tear in his eye.

The four of them cry out in glee.

….................................................................................................................................

Reeetro sits defiantly as the hissing gets closer. Prepared to meet his end.

His eyes fling open at the sudden noise, he watches as all of the changeling's are blasted through the walls, out of the castle.

He looks on in bewilderment. A smile smile quickly adorns his face.

The battle was over.

The war had been won.

….........................................................................................................................

Princess Luna was sound asleep until the large bang had woke her up. She looked outside groggily, watching as a pink shield flew through the sky.

She grumbled in confusion before slamming her head back towards her pillow, falling asleep instantly.

….....................................................................................................................

Cadance collapses onto the tiled floor, huffing heavily.

“Cadance!” She hears Twilight cal;, as she rushes towards her. Cadance just flinches, recoiling as Twilight puts a hoof on her shoulder.

“Don't.” She begs. “Please.” She whispers, tears falling from her eyes as she forces herself to stand, wobbling as she does so.

“Cadance..........” Twilight recoils. Ears falling flat against her head in hurt.

Cadance backs away. Slowly edging herself out of the room. Glancing between the hurt expressions of Shining, Celestia and Twilight. Her gazes lingers on Twilight, gazing deeply into her violet eyes.

“I'm sorry.....” She whispers, before turning around and bolting off into a run in the directions of her chambers.

“Cadance!” She hears the pleading voice of Twilight. Fade into the distance.

She ran, it was all she knew how to do anymore

….......................................................................................................................

“I'm sorry Twilight.” Cadance's face burns with shame.

“It that really the reason you stopped seeing me?” Twilight asks, voice full of hurt. Cadance just nods her head in sorrow.

“You were young, I couldn't.” Cadance dares to gaze towards her.

“I'm not young anymore.” She huffs. Cadance just chokes out a laugh.

“Compared to me you are.” She smiles brokenly. “I'm sorry I abandoned you, I thought, if I stayed away, then you'd find somepony else who could be there for you. Somepony that wasn't broken.” She looks towards the floor, before she feels a hoof placed gently under her chin. She breaths looking up, Twilight giving her a soft gaze.

“Yes Cadance, you are broken.” Twilight smiles. “But so am I.” She says with tearful eyes. “I've spent so long. So long wonder why I wasn't good enough. Wondering why everypony couldn't look me in the eye. I felt so alone, so abandoned, but I now see why.” She looks at Cadance with loving gaze.

“Everything you did was to protect me. Every time you looked at me I felt loved and cared for.” Her ear flicks. “Which is why I know.....” She gives her a determined look. “That I could never love anypony more than you.” She smiles brightly before leaning in for a kiss.

Cadance's eyes flutter shut as Twilight's lips connect with hers. She smiles, truly smiles.

Wrapping her arms around Twilight, as she leans into the kiss more.

She's never felt so whole. Never felt more love in her life, than right this second.

The need for air becomes apparent as they both separately, light panting. They give each other a loving smile. Purple and violet eyes gazing towards each other adoration.

“We'll heal Cadance, together.” Twilight smiles.

Cadance just nods. Leaning her horn against Twilight's.

A bright smile on her face. A heart once again filled with hope.

They sit like that for a while, basking in the moment of peace, that neither of them noticed the faint glow on Cadance's flank.

As the fractured heart, became whole once again.
