Yet, for somepony who holds so much faith in her student, and especially when that same student in equal measure believes in you, how could you let her down?". Back at the castle, Princess Luna was holed up in her private quarters, furiously trying to win a game of Team Slayer on Halo 3's multiplayer, the game being set in the map Valhalla. Page generated in 0.03 seconds One thing was for certain, the girls had a tough job ahead of them, and it did not seem likely they'd succeed, given the charges against them. ", "Thank you your Majesty." Well, when on that Nightmare Night I tried to connect with my subjects, it was Twilight who helped me to become more down-to-earth and kinder to my subjects than before. The army would be trained hard in the killing of Royal Guards and civilians who attempted to assist in the defence of the city. The pink alicorn could tell this shield was no ordinary shield spell. Added Rarity. "Yes Luna. Boomed Chrysalis, who fired an ice spell at Aegis, freezing him solid. The memories of that dreadful episode of her life were rushing back into her mind. Everything that had happened over the past couple of days was still raging in her mind. But the past is the past. "I left Twilight, because I had no choice! Pinkie Pie went back to Sugarcube Corner and her spirits were lifted by the Cakes and their children greeting her happily. Bowing to his queen, Blade departed the hall, leaving Snake Bite alone with Chrysalis. DId you not realize the potential ramifications your actions could've had on her? Replied Applejack, slightly unsure of what was about to happen. "That will not be necessary." "Hi girls." Not only did he ban Twilight from this once-in-a-lifetime event, but he had to go and scar her mentally as well. I'll never leave you Twily" Said Cadance soothingly. At first, the baby dragon did nothing, but then, in the corner of her eye Applejack spotted Spike's hands curl into fists, fueled by his disgust, anger and frustration. "Wait here. ", "No, it's OK. "Yes. Velvet and Night could barely comprehend the news given to them. 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. ", "Why Auntie? Surely one like yourself would have learned from their past mistakes. The look on her face was neither smiling nor frowning, but one of concern. "Sergeant, Lieutenant Blade has given us orders to billet here for the time being. "Girls, tell me Twilight wasn't right. 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. The Changelings could just walk right in, disguised and completely invisible to the ponies' eyes, and then strike when the time was right. Rarity was the only one who was sleeping the easiest of them all, but only because she had managed to maintain her composure. Grunting and groaning angrily, the Changeling Queen got up on all fours, before raising a hoof into the sky in damnation. Prepare your troops for battle!". Her next action defaulted, Luna glared at her sister sternly. Once the Princess is captured, you are to flee the village and return to the Hive. I need you, however, to talk to Twilight. "What if I was wrong? Also, we didn't just walk out on her. Lieutenant Fang, you are hereby dismissed.". Stepping through them was Spike. Raider! Just make sure you knock before entering.". But when it was my turn to wake..they were nowhere to be found. "But Princess, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" Luna responded. 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 worst of it was from Celestia, whom Twilight idolised and worshipped even as a foal. Celestia could feel another slash tear through her heart as Luna hit her with another telling question. Were it not for Twilight and Cadance's intervention, Canterlot faced certain doom at the hooves of Chrysalis, and they would've been held responsible. The pain in her heart had become too great. ", "It's OK Applejack." With a sniffle from her snout, she fixed her Stetson and turned to face Cadance, a look of firm and hardy readiness on her face. If it was any consolation, although she did not know it at the time, Applejack was not the only one experiencing a restless night. Having opened the letter and read its contents, Shining learned of how Chrysalis and the remnants of her army had attacked a settlement near the border, burning it to the ground and taking the inhabitants prisoner. "This shield spell contains traces of Twilight's anger, hence it's dark coloring" Said Cadance grimly. This was a very damning experience for them, but it was one they deserved for treating their best friend the way they did. As it stands, we have done enough already. "I know that what she did wasn't exactly noble of herself either, but Rarity, you must understand. Said Pinkie. Pinkie and Fluttershy were also crying in their sleep, Rainbow was tossing and turning, her attempts to wear out her body coming to nothing. ", "Just a few scars" Replied Chrysalis. Cookies "It's alright Applejack. It never has and it never will, for as long as my heart beats, my brain thinks and my allegiance lies with you. "Royal Guards!". Only Rarity found the courage to say anything, but even she knew it would be feeble. Just please, do not chastise me. The rookie's comment was met with a slap to the head by his commandant. She wondered if she should stay with Twilight, just to watch over her, but she felt that perhaps it would be an invasion of her privacy, and anyway, Spike was there for her, so it was best she served only as a mediator between the two sides. Her Spartan was camped in the Forerunner building to the right of the crashed Pelican, armed with a sniper rifle. Her expression was calm, but serious. Granny Smith slowly stood up, Applejack watching on as she did. If we are to regain our strength, we must feed. "Have you completed your missions Captain? Replied Twilight lovingly. ", "Yeah..I guess." Fluttershy said before yawning mid-sentence. You honour us with your presence.". The minutes passed by, and eventually the balcony doors re-opened, Spike emerging from them once more. State your business!" While there was no conflict outside, there was conflict deep inside. "That is a question I am tormented with every day ma'am." With that, Luna spread her wings, before flying off into the distance. ", "No Rarity, I haven't forgotten, but let me ask you this. We both know Cadance is capable of taking on any responsibility with the same good grace and warmth she is so blessed with. Please wait here.". Concerned for his princess, Shining tried waking her up. Shining's actions had badly damaged their honor, something the family had proudly carried and improved from generation to generation. Once you finish breakfast, you had better go and fix this mess, understand?". It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life since the day he had met Cadance. Twilight's head drooped sadly. ", "If it is any help Rainbow, I would advise you do not beat around the bush with her. If it was any consolation, however, he was able to channel that shame into willpower, and he intended to use it to do whatever it would take to find his sister. I will ensure that the Sparkle parents do find peace, or may I be damned to Tartarus for my failure.". Before his eyes, it opened to reveal Twilight, who was packing her saddlebags. He had no idea that Chrysalis had imprisoned her in the caves, or that her life was in danger, but now that he did, it was taking a bad toll on him. Once the locomotive had reached a complete stop, the duo disembarked, bypassing the station building before heading towards the Golden Oaks Library. The shamed former groom felt antsy about the whole ordeal; now he was beginning to wish he hadnt taken on the extra order from Celestia. To top it all off, there was an overbearing and very heavy feeling of speechlessness and regret hanging over the room. "There was no way I could have known..I did everything I could!". If anyone asks, we are from Baltimare.". Replied Velvet anxiously. With another sniffle, Celestia recalled what she had sent Shining out to do. Even if she had managed to find an answer, it didn't matter anyway. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. The battle was ferocious. Another brief pause followed, before Spike made the decision to report to Twilight. Applejack stopped eating. "Instead of waiting outside the city to attack, our forces will infiltrate the city in disguise en masse, and blend in with the locals. ", "Please, by all means!" "Well, there was the time Twilight went crazy about her friendship reports to Princess Celestia. "I hope you aren't hurt? "Twilight and Spike left, my bride hates me and called off the wedding and now I'm left to wonder if I really deserve to be Captain of the Royal Guard and be with Twilightmy LSBFF, the pony I loved so much and missed every day before she returned". Night Light turned to comfort his wife and left Shining to return to Celestia and carry on with his orders in shame. Applejack replied. We're going home, considering I'm not welcome here anymore.". To be precise, the only traceable source of conflict to be found in Equestriawas in my heart.". You have not only brought shame to our family Applejack, but you have brought shame on yourself and your Element. You will also find me your finest spy. How could they have no patience for their best friend the one time she was in the wrong, after all the times she helped them with their mistakes? "I understand you are both angry because of a recent incident involving your son and daughter, plus her friends and my sister. ", "No ma'am. "Why?" : Volume 15, Mad Mare With a Box. He was delighted Twilight was able to forgive him, but the question remained; would she be able to forgive the others? It was about midway into the journey when Luna picked up on the aura of tension that floated in the air around Shining and the guards, making her feel uneasy. I like this plan. It left a horrible panging feeling in her heart as once more, the magnitude of her and the girl's collective actions hit home. What he got instead was nowhere near what he was expecting: a hug. Spike took it to mean Twilight rejected his request, until he heard the door unlock. "If you're thinking about chastising me, I beg of you to reconsider. Go ahead. Before Shining could make himself idle, a unicorn Royal Guard sentry ran up to him, carrying a letter with his magic. The cowpony confirmed glumly. You know what we want, and if you do not surrender, then we will happily walk over you and anypony else who stands in our way to get it". After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. Still, her mindset was very much like Spike's; it remained to be seen if the Mane 5 regretted their actions at all, therefore now was the time to prove it. The girls could only look at her with frank expressions. "The poor mare must be a mess in there.". "Excellent." What awaited himself and Twilight now was a long ride home. Meanwhile, Pinkie had also just woken up. Applejack had nothing else to say. Perhaps she had been a bit too scathing in her criticism of her sister. What do you think of that sir? Twilight is not in the mood to be messed with.". Just them and nopony else who could disturb their peace. Applejack wasn't the only one who betrayed everything she stood for, we did as well. ", "First thing's first though, I should probably go check on Twilight, make sure she's OK. As for you girls, you should probably go home and get some sleep. Spike had her well and truly beaten. The troops must stick to the mission at all times, and at all costs. Before Pinkie could finish speaking, the girls heard a loud thump outside, followed by the sound of something being dragged through mud. "Nervous?" 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. If this was the ultimate price they were being made to pay for their actions, it was. Yelled Rainbow, who proceeded to charge the shield at lightspeed. And honestly . "Why did I ever doubt her? As the pink alicorn stepped inside, Twilight's heart melted at the sight of her face. As quickly as she could, the orange cowpony mounted her Stetson atop her head before flying downstairs. ", "Howdy girls, hello Princess. Celestia couldn't say anymore, and Luna could see it. "Yeah. With a sigh, she chose to come clean. Replied Luna, who walked inside. Despite being calmed by magic, Twilight still let out small sobs. "I'm sorry Rarity, but it seems Twilight was right. "You heard her. Not only did Celestia abandon her, but she stabbed her with a proverbial dagger through her heart. Finished Barbarousis. The one you saw at the wedding was a poorly rehearsed act of imitation, one undeserving of her very image. It's Cadance! There was a brief pause as Spike registered what he had just heard. All three had very well-developed and clever minds, which could use the full capabilities of their respective species to full advantage. 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. What kind of ponies are you? However, Sharp Fang, who was also present in the war room, raised a matter which would have concerned the Changelings, were the situation any different. Asked Velvet curiously. That wasn't the reason she was here. With that, Shining bowed, before turning on a dime and motioning to his men to leave the sisters alone, returning to their stations as the throne room's ceremonial guards. 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. Once more Celestia felt her heart shatter, and this made her feel worse; she and the Sparkle couple had been great friends since the day after they first met, but when it was announced to them that Twilight was to become her star pupil, Velvet had immediate reservations as Twilight was so precious to her as well as Night. His face was initially grim with dread, but Shining recomposed himself, and dismissed the sentry. Rarity, meanwhile, had a relatively peaceful journey back to her place of business, but she also had a feeling it would be a while before Twilight will forgive her and the other girls. "I guess I didn't sleep well last night. I have come here to undertake important business. "Eeyup, there ain't nothing in Equestria that's going to break this shield." They were not impressed at all. "Instead, I let the glamour of being a bridesmaid and the excitement of doing a Sonic Rainboom go to my head. Twilight whimpered sadly. "Shut up Spark!" I have also informed my parents of Twiley's situation.". The reason is that in light of my most recent actions, as well as those of Captain Armor and the Element Bearers, Canterlot nearly fell.". Marching up to the doors, still wearing his ceremonial Mareish Guards dress, Shining motioned to four of the eight throne room guards standing before him. However, she had to put that behind her, in order to stick to the task at hoof. However, despite her sureness Rainbow could not shake off the nagging of her conscience, which continued to question her loyalty towards Twilight. I hope I'm not interrupting." An army of beings known as Changelings stormed the city, injuring many of our citizens and Royal Guards, while also harvesting their love for their own ends. As you know, we had received word of a threat against Canterlot, which turned out to be true and more effective than we believed. Nodding in response, Cadance signalled to the Mane 5 for somepony to make a move. At present, Luna could sense that the Sparkle parents were distressed and angry. ", "No Fluttershy,I haven't. All you need to do is think of a Plan B, something that can make and have Twilight understand how sorry you really are. The Changeling Queen took her place at the top of the table, flanked by her loyal general. Chrysalis cackled evilly. She decided it was high time Spike was given something to think about. It all started after we had arrived at Canterlot. ", "I got called into a meetin' with Granny Smith and Big Mac. But that was the thing. Around her, some of her Changelings were also coming to, but their numbers had been severely depleted following the massive pulse of magic released unto them by Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. ", "I just came to see how you were after yesterday. 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. Replied Luna respectfully. A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 is the twenty-fifth episode of the second season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the fifty-first overall. Fortunately enough for the elite Changeling spy, he did not have to wait long as around the same time Twilight and company had embraced each other in a hug, Blade soon reported back via telepathy. Initially, Rarity was met with no answer. Spike bowed his head, fearing whatever reaction he'd get from Twilight. To support them, specifically assembled and equipped pegasi teams will also dive bomb the castle in an attempt to defeat the two princesses, Celestia and Luna.
