Could you explain the basics of what happened?". We'll be waiting.". But in order to keep up appearances, she smiled warmly. However, Cadance sensed there was something off about the shield. ", "The point here, your Majesty" Night Light continued "is that our daughter was the key to stopping the invasion before it ever began. Tell me we didn't forsake innocent lives for a wedding". "Oh Spike, how could I not forgive you?" We will never-". "Pack your things Spike. They would act as a second echelon, coming in from behind to support the main force. In fact, she looked about the same as Pinkie. 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. It was just a slip of the tongue. Together the unicorn and baby dragon faced the left side of the train, looking out the windows into the station as the train rolled to a stop, steam hissing from it's every orifices. The Changeling Queen later returned to dispose of her by sealing her in the caves beneath the castle, so as to ensure she would not meddle with her plans again. "Everypony calm down!" Believe me, I spent a lot of time with her when she was a filly, and she would never do something like that without good reason. ", "It even got to the point where Twilight had to make a problem herself." However, it is not just her friends who had failed Twilight. Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle had met alone up in Canterlot Tower for a private discussion. Applejack had heard enough at this point. The one you saw at the wedding was a poorly rehearsed act of imitation, one undeserving of her very image. Together we would go on to do many unspeakable things, including attacking my sister and attempting to thwart the Element Bearers' search for the Elements of Harmony. Meanwhile, Cadance and the Mane 5 were aboard the train which followed Twilight's to Ponyville. One of our garrisons was attacked and defeated by Chrysalis and the remnants of her army. The reality was obvious: While they thankfully hadn't signed their death warrants, Shining, the Mane 5 and Celestia had condemned themselves to this hell they were living. If the Princess had guessed correctly, this wouldn't be good news in the slightest. Hah! After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. She glanced at the three commanders, before looking at General Skoula, whom she greeted with a nod. Pinkie chimed, albeit half-heartedly. But if there's anything wrong darling, just talk to me, alright?". I have to be elsewhere, so I must make my stay here as brief as possible. But when it was my turn to wake..they were nowhere to be found. The Princess of Love, accompanied by the other five Element Bearers were heading to Ponyville in order to mend relations with the lavender unicorn, leaving Canterlot vulnerable to attack. Twilight was ravin' about Cadence being an impostor and repeatedly called her evil, which made her cry. Her efforts to try to pick herself up were in vain, as no matter how hard she tried to put it behind her, temporarily or otherwise, her own memories always found a way back to the forefront of her mind. "Who's there?" His parents literally didnt take the news well and with the warning still buzzing in his head like a flock of angry parasprites, Shining began walking back to the palace, knowing he'd have to report to Princess Celestia Night and Velvets warning. With no words, he awaited his orders. "What gives you the right to question me, AJ?" Should we find somewhere to billet for the time being? "We're waiting for Applejack and Princess Cadance. "Cadance, I need you to talk to Twilight, because she needs to know I am extremely sorry for what I have done. Could this be the most important moment in our lives? They had the matter well in hoof anyway, or so Applejack's pride, stubborn as ever, was trying to convince her. By cutting off your ties with her and brushing off her warnings, you nearly brought upon Equestrias ultimate destruction. While I will not apologize for that remark, nor will I take it back, I will listen. First off, when dawn broke over Canterlot, what happened when you left your post?". "She bewitched her Smartypants doll with a Want It Need It spell which made half of Ponyville, including Big Mac, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo rip each other apart trying to get it. Chat! Twilight bowed her head as well, Spike and Cadance looking up to notice her movements. If Spike could tell she was still conflicted with the events of the wedding, then there was no hope of hiding it. However, Cadance did take into account that while upsetting a bride before her wedding is an undeniably despicable act, the knowledge that the fate of Equestria was at stake managed to outweigh her crime, but only a little. Cadance had just recently left Carousel Boutique to check up on Twilight, as she had planned previously. His face was initially grim with dread, but Shining recomposed himself, and dismissed the sentry. Spike barked firmly. Spike's request was greeted with a smile, but Cadance wisely remembered Twilight might not be too pleased to see him. "Come in!" "Sergeant, Lieutenant Blade has given us orders to billet here for the time being. Oh, and by the way Twilight. Glaring into it, the flame produced a vision of Twilight in her library, reading through the lumps of friendship reports she and her former best friends had written over the months. The difference here was that while Twilight was wronged, Spike was as much part of this disaster as Princess Luna was. Do you want me to cast this protection spell?". The girls are sorry and they wish to apologise to Twilight personally!". "I wish to inform Princess Celestia of an attack on our subjects." Is your pride too stubborn for you to admit that the way you treated Twilight was wrong?! The Guard Captain immediately tried to calm down Celestia as best as he could. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. Sorry you had to see us in this state. "Ok men, engage your disguises. Engagement at this time is a no-go. Replied Velvet. "So, what's the plan?". As she did so, tears began flowing freely from her eyes. The price you paid was one which I know very well caused you immense grief. Unable to compose herself any longer, the cowpony started sobbing. Perhaps it is best we take no further action". That is what Shining told us when he came here, and it is the reason Velvet and I are so furious. All this was as per Shining Armor's orders to get Canterlot back to working capacity. Prepare your troops for battle!". Returning to the matter at hoof, Twilight spoke up next. Aegis's Guards stood to attention, poised to strike on his word. At present, Luna could sense that the Sparkle parents were distressed and angry. A battle was on the rise, but before the already present hostilities could escalate, the two sides stopped just metres from each other. You have not only brought shame to our family Applejack, but you have brought shame on yourself and your Element. Total duration After a little while, Celestia managed to recompose herself, with a request to boot. The spree of devastation seemed to fly by as the Changelings stormed the village, smashing into ponies homes before harvesting their love and setting the place on fire. No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, it throbbed away in her mind like the many bruises she sustained from her numerous crash-landings. With that, Spike walked back inside. Any Changelings they find, living, wounded or dead are to be brought back to the castle immediately for treatment as seen fit by me. In exchange for their services they would be allowed to do whatever they please. I would do it myself, but I must oversee repairs to the city, as well as the immediate treatment of the injured. "Whoa nelly, would y'look at that?" Shining could only hang his head deeper from the truth in her words. With little hesitation, the yellow pegasus embraced Twilight in a hug, silencing any further sobbing. Without them, they cannot corrupt a host, hence why Twilight did not fall victim to their temptations. It was a difficult task to remember what Night Light had told him. As they made their way past Town Hall and through the daily market, nopony even paid them a passing glance. Applejack replied. As for Shining, he felt it was best Celestia was informed of this development. "Snake Bite, I have summoned your presence for a task of great importance. And for Luna's sake, I nearly lost my life because of them! As for Spike, he was very much pushed to his limits here. "It will not help Twilight if both Night and myself are turned to the dark side. Nopony usually goes in there, and it would provide the perfect cover for us to carve out a plan while we wait for the moment to strike. Sobbed Celestia. Why would her niece need to see Luna during her watch, and only to show her a spell she had learnt? "The next part is much worse, and it is dreadful to even contemplate. "Thank you for your gratitude Sir Light." I appreciate you've come all this way just to try to make it up to me, but I'm not ready. With another sniffle, Celestia recalled what she had sent Shining out to do. To her, the Royal Guard were as naive as ever, but one should never underestimate their capabilities. Chuckled Chrysalis, entertained by Spark's determination. Said Chrysalis confidently. Asked Applejack. pleaded Shining in protest. Once that is done, my unicorns will then teleport into the castle en masse, where they will begin to harvest the Princesses' love simultaneously, so as to increase their powers and give them extra strength in close combat. Meanwhile, Luna was first to break the ice between herself and Celestia. Rarity moved to comfort her. Applejack barked angrily. "Excellent." Shining expected Celestia to begin talking, but instead the solar alicorn rose from her perch before motioning to the stallion to accompany her out of the study. Suddenly, with authority Spike threw his hat on the ground, not caring in the slightest about whatever damage it suffered. Together, Chrysalis and her ragtag, yet respectable strike force hurried to the village, intent on razing it to the ground. Spike had her well and truly beaten. By the Creator, was Shining right when he guessed this wasn't over. Taking a moment to sniffle again, Twilight laid down her sins before them. Grunting and groaning angrily, the Changeling Queen got up on all fours, before raising a hoof into the sky in damnation. "Applejack, you should know it's too early for me to forgive you. This had left them both hurt and furious, emotions which Luna knew full well would suppurate and fester within their souls. "The wedding's been called off", said Shining, trying to keep a straight face. She smiled at him warmly. Said Shining, who stepped aside to allow Luna to comfort her distraught sister. I must speak with the both of you immediately.". From the numerous cracks and windows that dotted the structure, a sickly green light glowed, with trace amounts of smoke rising from them. The aura she was sensing was undeniably strong, and bitter in feeling. "I did not commit the same sins you did!". "Take as much time as you need. She zoomed in on the Spartan's head, intent on sniping him clean through the skull. He was desperate to let her know how sorry he was for what he did. Bowing to his queen, Blade departed the hall, leaving Snake Bite alone with Chrysalis. It is the first half of a two-part season finale. It worked to dreadful effect; Shining disowned Twilight as a sister and Best Mare, all five of her friends walked out on her and even Celestia showed no compassion. Yelled both commanders as their forces clashed. However, despite her sureness Rainbow could not shake off the nagging of her conscience, which continued to question her loyalty towards Twilight. "Of course we did!" What kind of ponies are you? Disguise yourselves and your men, and we will go hide somewhere nopony will find us. Understood?".

"So, what was it you wanted to talk about? It then fell to Commander Barbarousis to conclude the briefing. But worst of all, we threatened to plunge Equestria into eternal night, just so I could get my own self-gratification from watching the ponies celebrate my night. Shining's actions had badly damaged their honor, something the family had proudly carried and improved from generation to generation. Her expression was calm, but serious. She didn't know it at the time, but she was late for the meeting. Cadance figured that Twilight would only answer personally to her; anypony else fell under Spike's jurisdiction. Everything she had been through, especially the part where Twilight drilled the thought of her untimely death into her head, had finally caught up with her. And in Twilight's case, alone, afraid, and very hurt?". It changes depending on how they are feeling at any given time. May I come in?". Under our leadership, there was peace throughout the land, nary a trace of conflict or discord to be found outside. "Good evening Lady Velvet. Not the sort of difficult where Shining could not recall Night's exact words, but the sort of difficult where emotions and mentality were concerned. The Mane 5 backed off to give her some breathing space. With a reciprocating nod and salute (respectively), the two ponies proceeded through the halls of the castle up to Celestia's private bedchambers, two rows of guards watching over the hall leading to both Celestia and Luna's rooms. Did you, all of you, forget that Canterlot was under threat of an attack?!". Applejack's voice began to waver as her normally iron will sagged, melting back into a puddle of regret. Replied Rarity. "Snake, this is Lieutenant Blade. In the aftermath of the wedding, Twilight has found that her friends have grown. Twilight faced him, neither smiling nor frowning. "What if I was wrong? Back in the wedding hall, there was little more than seven ponies with the responsibility of Canterlot's invasion laid on their shoulders, a baby dragon devastated by Twilight's revelation, while also disgusted at his own reaction to the lavender unicorn's outburst at the wedding rehearsal. Therefore I must inoculate both you and your husband using a special spell which will hinder the Nightmare Forces' ability to sense your emotions. Added Night Light.

She understood that Cadance was trying to play peacemaker, but the odds were against her, and the Mane 5 too. Twilight looked up at the door, which she had locked earlier after slamming it shut. Prepare the prisoners for their rehabilitation.". Only time would tell. Luna was dismayed. The outside world didn't matter anymore. On the other hoof, the levels of disbelief grew for both Night and Velvet as they took in every little bit of Shining's story. Finished Celestia. Inside their carriage, the mood was quite grim. I only hope we can all come up with an apology sincere enough to save Twilight from her grudge against us, all of us Meanwhile, Pinkie had also just woken up. Please, you must believe me. To make matters worse, she was the Element of Honesty (or rather, the FORMER Element of Honesty) and therefore she couldn't tell a lie.

Within hours, the village was ablaze, and Chrysalis and her Changelings, with their prisoners in tow, proceeded to return to their hive in the mountain range known as the Black Widow's Peak. The cowpony confirmed glumly. In fact, it was because of Twilight that she was freed from the clutches of Nightmare Moon, a deed that truly won her sister's praise and gratitude. Her throne possessed the ability to channel the love from her prisoners into her body, giving her extra magic power and increased strength, a much needed boost considering the toll Cadance and Shining's spell took on her. Replied Rainbow confidently. "Princess, you are aware Twilight isn't exactly innocent of her crimes either?" His strict side came to the fore once more. I..". "Why?" It bore one of her greatest and most nostalgic hallmarks; a caring, sympathetic smile. "No, please!" Replied Luna. "Princess, I don't know about this.

I have already been punished enough for my sins.". Can you do that Fang? I need to check with Twilight.

What gives you the divine right to lecture us when you are guilty of the same sins?!" As a result, my thoughts and feelings turned to darkness, and it was not long before the Nightmare Forces found me languishing in my bitterness and hatred. Luckily, Twilight's timely appearance, with Cadance in tow, blew her cover. Applejack wasn't the only one who betrayed everything she stood for, we did as well. "Which is something I intend to fix immediately, because I'm planning a super special We're-Sorry-For-Betraying-You party just for you! I told them what happened, and welly'know.". "Well, if you're lookin' at apologizing a third time, it better be pretty darn good! ", "Funny you should mention that Fluttershy, because I didn't either."

"Attention everypony! With that, Spike began marching out of the room, tearing off his tuxedo as a symbolic reminder of the corruptive power of the wedding. I mean, what are the chances they could screw up again? "If it helps, none of us wanted Twilight to die. The group was intimidated, but only a little.
