Luna nodded firmly. "Well, if you're lookin' at apologizing a third time, it better be pretty darn good! Twilight is not in the mood to be messed with.". At present, Luna could sense that the Sparkle parents were distressed and angry. Before long, Applejack had managed to pull herself together. After taking the moment to scratch the remaining figments of dirt out of her mane, she took a seat opposite Fluttershy. I don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I do remember asking her what spell she had learned.". The lieutenants of his army were made up of one of the three pony species, one for the Earth ponies, the pegasi and the unicorns. Rainbow Dash: But how? After thanking the runner, who left the war room immediately, Shining read the letter, which was sent from the village attacked by the Changelings moments earlier. [He took a deep breath and belch out a scrool]. Chrysalis, on the other hoof, was not quite finished. There was no doubting it; his actions had inflicted severe damage on their relationship, damage that had clear knock-on effects as demonstrated by Cadance and Spike. As soon as they got into formation, they broke into a canter, making haste for Luna's private quarters. How he wished that Death would be so merciful. Knuckles: You think they weren't that aerodynamic. "Princess, I'm curious. What greeted the Guard Captain was a sight he had seen often enough, but still awe-inspiring in it's visage. Applejack couldn't help but notice the way they were looking at her. ", "I understand how you feel, it's just that I was afraid I would get kicked out of the wedding too. Yer being very unreasonable! Applejack shouted back, Ah agree with ya that she was being rude, but disinvitn her to your weddin because of a silly little argument? Said Luna, who had little idea her guests would be royal guards with very specific orders. Once more, the girls fell silent, unable to find an explanation for their actions. And once more that same stubbornness was driving her will to action. Cried Rainbow. ", Replied Velvet. "She asked. Gasped Celestia speechlessly. "Just hang in there. Applejack's always been very punctual. As they made their way past Town Hall and through the daily market, nopony even paid them a passing glance. Spike looked back at the girls, angered. Or who saved the true Princess Cadance? He couldnt bear to think of it any longer but he wanted to get it over with so they can quickly make amends to his own sister, the Element Bearer's best friend and Celestia's student they all scarred for life.Still, they had to know, so Shining knocked on the door and it opened to reveal his father Night Light. Try not to look suspicious. [Rainbow took off her dress and soars into the sky. Oh right! Twilight said, pasting a happy smile on her face. For all intents and purposes, this felt like an interrogation, and probably the most painful and harrowing encounter she had to deal with yet. You honour us with your presence.". Fluttershy gave a grateful smile and nodded before slowly approaching her critter friends. [He trot with Cadance into a room. On the battlefield, Royal guards and wedding crowd disintegrate to ashes, much to Princess Luna's horror), (People of Equestia disintegrate to ashes), (Sunset Shimmer disintegrates into ashes), (Fluttershy [EG] suddenly stumbles over, and collapses into ashes), (Rarity [EG] disintegrate turns into ashes), (Rainbow Dash [EG] disintegrate into ashes), (Twilight Sparkle [EG] disintegrating into ashes), (Students and Staff of Canterlot High disintegrate to ashes), (Vice Principal Luna disintegrate to ashes), (Suddenly, Principal Celestia started to disintegrate into ashes too), (People of Equestia City gets disintegrated to ashes), (Rainbow Dash gets disintegrated next as Shining Armor stares in horror), (Shining Armor also gets disintegrated into ashes), (Twilight Sparkle disintegrates into ashes in Princess Celestia's hoofs), (Applejack gets disintegrated into ashes), (Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings and Twinkleshine begins to disintegrate into ashes), (People of Rest of the Dimensions and Home Planets started to disintegrated into ashes). It's getting late anyway. The wedding wagon sets off), (Then, they laugh and watch as the fireworks bang in the night sky, showing a heart shape), (Fastforward to Twilight Sparkle is followed Cadence all the way to their chamber), (Suddenly, someone shoots Queen Chrysalis), (They turned around; revealed to be the real Princess Cadance), (We get shown that Princess Cadance got rescued at the last second by Doctor Strange. His attention soon returned to the royal sisters, who were just finishing up Luna's interrogation. I can let myself out. Follow us We're going home, considering I'm not welcome here anymore." The latter looked back up again, her stony facade pulled down to reveal the same broken mare they had last seen in the wedding hall. Sonic: [dumbfonded] Wha- Why didn't you tell us?! Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie and Rainbow watch this with warm smiles on their faces til Celestia turns to Rainbow Dash]. "They forgive each other no matter what! Princess Luna is here!" "And just how did all y'all betray Twilight?" Added Big Mac. The lavender unicorn looked at him, having snapped out of her trance. Cried Applejack, trying to defuse the situation. "Wait here. Even Spark was having trouble dancing the ballet of clashed blades with his other, despite his high morale. Among them was the only General in the entire officer corps, a rank befitting his position as the top commanding officer, and his name was so fearsome and infamous among ponykind that even the toughest of them could not speak his name and remain unafraid. "If it helps, none of us wanted Twilight to die. Consuming it has made me even more powerful than both Celestia and Luna combined! Chrysalis's threat was met with laughter from the Guards, angering her greatly. Espio: We found them in the abandoned caves, Princess. Not to mention how foalish we had all been!". "If it is any help Rainbow, I would advise you do not beat around the bush with her. Pinkie Pie: Aaaaaaaaa [sneezes like a trumpet]. Meanwhile, very much unbeknownst to Celestia, Luna had taken the decision to head off to the Sparkle family home. Do you seriously expect us to have just believed her out of blind loyalty? Cream: Well, she did raise her voice at one of the birds during rehearsal. You've been the best friend I've ever had, how could you betray me like that? Everypony that is, but Twilight. Any Changelings they find, living, wounded or dead are to be brought back to the castle immediately for treatment as seen fit by me. Now ah' know it may seem pointless to be getting upset about trashed muffins, but the point ah'm making here is that the real Cadance would have loved what we did for the wedding. "You're a love-stealing evil thug!". Yelled a voice from outside the door. I don't have the strength to repel them. But for now, the main objective was to meet the girls and Cadance at Sugarcube Corner to form a plan. Princess Cadance: Are you disagreeing with me? I have to be elsewhere, so I must make my stay here as brief as possible. Slowly, she walked into the kitchen, where Granny Smith and Big Mac were both waiting. To ask for her forgiveness and to get her to resume being your student, or simply to resume being your attack dog?". After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. [She stands on the balcony, looking through the telescope. All she cared about was just going back to her quarters, before crying her eyes out, packing her things and leaving Canterlot, wanting to get away from those who no longer cared for her. "Still though, even after all that, was it really necessary that you had to attack him like that? His long strides quickly brought him alongside Twilight. Growling with intense menace, Chrysalis looked around her in order to find something to tear apart. Thats all they care about. "Cadance and Twilight were so close that they did everything together, even the hoofshake. ", "I see." Those who tried to resist were quickly incapacitated and harvested. While his stance remained unchanged, he was willing to lend an ear to Cadance's plea. "Twilight, have you forgotten why we're here? Fluttershy: Well, I know that, but something is definitely not right about her! "The wedding's been called off", said Shining, trying to keep a straight face. [They went off to find a place to sleep, meanwhile, Sonic had left the room he was in to go on a jog around town], Sonic: Ah, been a good while since I've explored Canterlot Maybe if I can find a chili dog stand, I could- [suddenly notices something that catches his eye] Hmm? Most ponies have forgotten that these caves even exist, which is why they are the ideal place to keep the ones who try to interfere with my plans. Princess Celestia: Well, we need Twilight and the others here so they can do their part. Rarity's expression remained unchanged, but she decided it was best she did not dwell on it. Asked Shroud, preparing his mind to take mental notes, regardless of length. Fluttershy: Wait a minute, I thought Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings were her bridesmaids! Meanwhile, Snake Bite was maintaining his cover from outside. Pinkie Pie: Yeah! Did you look over there? Twilight pointed to a random corner of the room. Every second of her absence is killing me. From her perch on the wall next to the gravity lift, she was awaiting any intruders from the red team to cross the mound in the middle, as well as either up the river or across the mound to the left. Both Velvet and Night were awestruck. Applejack's voice began to waver as her normally iron will sagged, melting back into a puddle of regret. ", "That's not the point Princess! Third, about Celestia's "You have a lot to think about", well honestly, what about scenes in media where people (I believe usually mothers punishing kids) say "Think about what you've done?" Spike filled me in on everything, especially the part where those five backstabbers wish to apologize.". If she hadn't found the real Cadance, they could have both died down there, so in fact, me and the girls straight up betrayed Twilight and left her to die." Shining began to circle around his younger sister as he spoke, Cadence hasnt been casting spells on me, shes been using her magic to heal me! he got up in Twilights face and pointed at his horn. Shinings heart sank deeper into his stomach. Sonic: [to the Mane Five] You better go with her, don't worry, we'll tell the princess you've arrived. Barbarousis! "No Mom, I don't wanna go to flight school.", Rainbow groaned groggily. "I don't think there's much we can do Shining. Returning to the matter at hoof, Twilight spoke up next. Added Rarity. The Mane 5 were left speechless. The army would be trained hard in the killing of Royal Guards and civilians who attempted to assist in the defence of the city. : Volume 15, Mad Mare With a Box. Urged Fluttershy. Shining Armour: My power is useless now. Celestia sighed in annoyance. Princess Celestia tells him they're busy at the moment, and Black Panther offers to help, but they refuse. Knowing the Tartarus she went through, Luna felt that it would be wrong to leave them fall into the cold icy grip of darkness without so much as a hoof to pull them out. Silver: A changeling? Now it was clear to them just how much Twilight valued her friendship with them, as well as her relationship with her brother and with Celestia. Luna responded. Do you understand, Shining Armor Sparkle?" I am here to save you from the Nightmare Forces that once corrupted me.". Said Cadance firmly. Added Night Light. Rainbow Dash: A sonic rainboom? The Mane 5 did indeed regret everything; now was their opportunity to prove it. "Is this true?". Twilight could have stopped the Changelings from wreaking havoc, but she was never given the chance!
