"Morning Rarity." Groaned Pinkie, yawning as she spoke. "I can't believe ANY of you! We pushed Twilight aside like she was nopony. Twilight quizzed. The Royal Guard and those who try to help them will be caught up in a frenzy of thuggery and murder. How could you think I wouldn't stand against that?! Asked Twilight Velvet. "Excellent." Meanwhile, a second echelon, made up of thugs and lowlives from neighbouring towns and villages in the Badlands will advance northeast towards Canterlot, where upon arrival they will smash their way through the city and, through sheer brutality, cripple the Royal Guard's defensive perimeter.". Replied Luna respectfully. Said Applejack. "Using my magic, I have been able to observe the movements of our enemies. "What if I was wrong? There was no doubting the alicorn's mind that yesterday's fiasco had taken a toll on Twilight's already haggard mind, therefore she felt the best course of action was to ensure she was looking after herself that morning. Now, I want the prisoners, all the prisoners, to be rehabilitated. ", "Very good Commander Barbarousis. "Is that so?" Meanwhile, Snake Bite was maintaining his cover from outside. "Major Shroud! Her eyes and teeth were clenched shut in pain and she was letting out groans that would rend one's heart irrevocable. Soon to be thrice once ah' meet up with the girls to discuss a plan. She didn't know it at the time, but she was late for the meeting. "Good morning girls. You may proceed with the mission.". 1-2. friendship is magic 3. the ticket master 4. applebuck season 5 . Do you have any idea what would have happened to me if..". "I wish to inform Princess Celestia of an attack on our subjects." Spike was standing atop the stairwell, his face clearly marked with suspicion. She glanced at the three commanders, before looking at General Skoula, whom she greeted with a nod. "Twilight? Do y'all remember the day I left with Twilight to go to Canterlot for the wedding? pleaded Shining in protest. 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. "We won't leave you ever again.". She must know that her resignation spells doom for Equestria and life as we know it". ah' was crying last night because of something terrible that ah' did. As Twilight and Cadence; the real Cadence; stop the 'wedding', Twilight turns into the new Nightmare Moon. Fang stepped before Chrysalis, his eyes shimmering with anticipation. Everything that happened.it's all stuck in my head and I can't get it out!". That much was clear to the lot of them. Worse still, she couldn't comprehend just how little she cared for Twilight, compared to the amount of love and attention she gives to her animal friends daily. "Changelings! ", "Your Majesty, the word "failure" does not exist in my vocabulary. See you.". Twilight looked up at the door, which she had locked earlier after slamming it shut. Why hath you summoned me before you? "Just who in the hay do you think you are Spike? Why was Twilight not corrupted by these Nightmare Forces you speak of? We want this to end on good terms, that is all. Shining sighed deeply. She considered herself a hypocrite for having taught Twilight all those lessons about friendship and magic, only to show nothing by herself. You, her friends and her princess put her and all of Canterlot in jeopardy! The former was pleased to see her, but also equally worried. "Attention everypony! ", "Of course we do!" 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. The two princesses stayed close so that one could be there for the other in times of distress, but for now that was not to be as Luna was monitoring reconstruction efforts down in the city. But if there's anything wrong darling, just talk to me, alright?". I'm so sorry Twilight. "Princess! "Shining Armor, how could you be so unspeakably cruel to your own sister?! When it was cast, the shield was laced with traces of hatred and anger. "Oh shut up!" Did you, all of you, forget that Canterlot was under threat of an attack?!". #3056427 - safe, lemon hearts, lyra heartstrings, minuette, moondancer, twilight sparkle, twinkleshine, pony, unicorn, canterlot six, female, initials, mare, unicorn twilight - Derpibooru Home Upload Forums Tags Rankings Filters Galleries Comments Commissions Channels Donate Spike filled me in on everything, especially the part where those five backstabbers wish to apologize.". ", "Yes ma'am. Replied Snake. I'm so happy to see you, but shouldn't you be at the wedding?". "I know that what she did wasn't exactly noble of herself either, but Rarity, you must understand. Both Velvet and Night were awestruck. Deadpanned Applejack. ", "Well, things happened, concerning a few ponies including mahself, Twilight and the other girls. Princess Celestia, Shining Armor, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow, AJ, clearly you are not worthy of the time of a pony like Twilight Sparkle, and by extension, you are not worthy of my time either. Did you become Twilight's friends because you liked her and wanted to be best friends forever? Luna nodded firmly. 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. Despite being originally hesitant, Applejack quickly swallowed her sorrows and stepped up to the plate. And as for you, you walked out on her too! But what was I supposed to do? "How could I have been so blind Shining?" "Princess, I'm curious. Pinkie chimed, albeit half-heartedly. Although taken aback, Shining settled into his role, doing his best to soothe the tormented alicorn. "Well, it happened during the wedding rehearsal. "We weren't going to let Twilight be demoted back to Magic Kindergarten just like that! Together, Chrysalis and her ragtag, yet respectable strike force hurried to the village, intent on razing it to the ground. "No, thank you. This make the pink alicorn smile warmly. It was my own darned pride that led me to abandon my loyalty. They were happy and content, but there was something in their eyes that Applejack could see. Twilight also begins to suspect that . The latter looked up at her, waterfalls flowing down from her eyes. I knew I couldn't trust you, yet I let my merciful nature get the better of me! The other girls silently nodded as they cried; even if they were to try again, the same result will be apparent and they didn't want that if they were going to get Twilight to be their friend once again. While the Changeling Army may not have been ready to assault the city, the process of finding new recruits gave Skoula time to plan the next great attack. Following an unbridled facehoof, Rarity used her magic to lift Rainbow out of the mudhole and brought her inside Sugarcube Corner. a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction. She was brought here to answer questions, and it was under those conditions that she decided to relent. ", "But that's not true Granny Smith! Helping the unicorn to dry her eyes, Spike stood back as Twilight returned to her hooves. 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. Rainbow cut in. Shining's thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of Celestia throwing herself atop her bed, dispirited and miserable. The pain must be excruciating, for want of a fitting word. Thus far, they had tasked their forces with the mission to raid every single one of Canterlot's outlying towns and villages, taking everypony residing in them prisoner and killing those who tried to resist, as per Chrysalis's new policy. Twilight's head drooped sadly. Passing through the massive double doors that led to the junction connecting both sister's bedchambers, Celestia led Shining through the door on the right. "I didn't know that she wasn't the real Cadence! a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction. Cadance's face produced a frank expression. "As well as the sound of a bell!" Applejack wasn't the only one who betrayed everything she stood for, we did as well. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. Replied Shining. "What is it you want?" How dare you lecture us on how to be Twilight's friends!". distant, and to make matters worse, she cannot rest for fear of a dream that she cannot remember. Taking a moment to sniffle again, Twilight laid down her sins before them. I can't help it. "Well, why would she do it? Sorry you had to see us in this state. 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. "Good evening Lady Velvet. I'm sorry if this interrogation caused you any inconvenience. Why did you all push her aside for your own wedding and Cadence? ", "I did not forget!" You know why we are here. Just please, do not chastise me. One of our garrisons was attacked and defeated by Chrysalis and the remnants of her army. The escort stopped just a few metres away from the Sun Princess, allowing Shining to step forward to address her. "Oh Celestia, how are we going to fix this mess?" Just then, Spike stepped down the stairs. Also, we didn't just walk out on her. It all started after we had arrived at Canterlot. Only Rarity, who looked the better pick of the bunch, greeted the pink alicorn. "I did not commit the same sins you did!". 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. ", "But they shouldn't be here in the first place Cadance! Nonetheless, it was easy to see why this was such a serious incident. Just then, Fluttershy entered the bakery. Don't come back until you're ready to be Twilight's friends again.". May I come in?". 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. We thought leavin' her alone to think about what she had done would be best for her.". 60,737 hits today, 1,481,371 yesterday, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Fanfiction The colour was the same as Twilight's magical aura, a reddish hue of purple, but it also contained a dark tint. The Twilight Time Lord, Adventurequest Worlds : Twilight the Hero. Maintain your cover and I will report back when the time to attack is right. We make for the Everfree. She may not be happy to see you, but if I know her, she will forgive you. How?". Applejack's voice began to waver as her normally iron will sagged, melting back into a puddle of regret. "Applejack, you should know it's too early for me to forgive you. After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. We cannot attack until he says to. But most importantly, now they were ready to admit to the ponies of Canterlot they too were responsible for nearly letting the city fall to the Changelings, and now they were ready to do it with grace and humility. The dreadful events of the rehearsal were still eating away at her heart, not least that of Shining or any of the other parties involved in the fiasco. The lavender unicorn looked at him, having snapped out of her trance. Spike? Said Cadance, her usual mirth waning when she saw how the girls had fared since the previous night. Just them and nopony else who could disturb their peace. 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". The Royal Guard was out and about, not only patrolling the streets to find and arrest any Changeling stragglers, but to assist with repair and resettlement efforts. There was no known reports or rumours of a wedding or any other high-security event this time, according to reports from her spies, thus there wouldn't be a shield to deal with. If this was the ultimate price they were being made to pay for their actions, it was. I cannot explain how I believed that impostor to be my niece. Unfortunately for Luna, she would be proven right as the group approached the throne room. With no words, he awaited his orders. You should be ashamed of yourself!". Everything we had been through together, all those friendship lessons we had learned, we threw them out the window as if they were trash. After taking a look in the mirror to check her face (and after briefly washing it), that's when it clicked. The Changelings roared in unison, their thirst for blood amplified beyond comprehension. Y'all have brought shame to our family something fierce. "Which is why I suggest we hide in the Everfree Forest. ", "That's comforting." I want my new Changelings to be equipped with the finest armours and weapons my blacksmiths can forge. a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction . You had no choice but to banish me to the moon for 1000 years. There is nothing more we desire than this.". "We're nearly there girls. "Indeed she did, your Majesty." You didnt even give Spike a chance to choose the wedding or her!, "Mom, please!" She acted nothing like herthe niece we know and love is warm, kind and caring, but the Cadance we saw at the wedding.she was so cold and distant. 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. "Yes Aunt Celestia. The girls did not move a muscle, stuck in a shocked trance. ", "No Rarity, I haven't forgotten, but let me ask you this. Do you understand, Shining Armor Sparkle?" Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. "The wedding did go ahead, with Shining absolutely under the Changeling Queen's grip. ", "And I failed the Element of Honesty because when we wrote that friendship report, we were supposed to have learned an important lesson. Has Twilight ever been wrong about something before?". Youhad no right to berate her like that and that goes double for her friends and the Princess herself. "Sergeant, Lieutenant Blade has given us orders to billet here for the time being. But then came the sound of snorting mixed with snoring. "Applejack, ah' have lived a long, long life. Or did you become her friends because you sought the fame and glory you would eventually gain from your numerous exploits as the Elements of Harmony?". One could even dare say the latter was no longer her favourite princess as well. Said Applejack, admiring the sight. Speaking of the latter, Celestia was wondering, on a side note, where she was during the Changeling invasion. Celestia started tossing and turning, her hooves planting themselves against her temples. It is with honest hearts that we apologize for abandoning you when you needed us most. But be careful. Celestia could feel her gut twisting with guilt more and more. ", "No Luna. The Mane 5 were shocked to see that the baby dragon had taken on such a strict form, but Cadance remained unbowed by such an appearance. "Aura is the energy which is generated from a pony's emotions. "Princess, we have brought your sister as you requested.". DId you not realize the potential ramifications your actions could've had on her? Chrysalis made no response, physically or otherwise. ", "But it can't be too long, right?" The poor mare was exhausted, having gone through so much up to this point. 212. The words "You have a lot to think about" continued to ring throughout the young unicorn's head, a constant reminder of her loved one's betrayal. I will ensure that the Sparkle parents do find peace, or may I be damned to Tartarus for my failure.". "I.Oh Luna.I don't know why we left her. What he got instead was nowhere near what he was expecting: a hug. Replied the alabaster unicorn. ", "Take as much time as you both need Spike. Replied Shining without hesitation. "I'm sorry Cadance, but it just isn't that simple. Celestia had to face facts; everything that happened and everything that was going to happen was brought on by herself, Shining Armor and the Mane 5. Cried Pinkie. "At ease." Cadance could do little more than stroke her mane with a free hoof while trying to soothe the unicorn with comforting words. I was only doing what I thought was right. Alt. Unable to compose herself any longer, the cowpony started sobbing. I would do it myself, but I must oversee repairs to the city, as well as the immediate treatment of the injured. Grinning evilly, Chrysalis held little care for such a plight. Before Shining could make himself idle, a unicorn Royal Guard sentry ran up to him, carrying a letter with his magic. It left a horrible panging feeling in her heart as once more, the magnitude of her and the girl's collective actions hit home. "That will not be necessary." "If you think I'm gonna surrender, you're dead wrong Chrysalis. All of this was going down a pair of raging waterfalls that flowed down the mare's face. She had come to make sure the lavender unicorn had a good morning, and it looked like she had. "You heard her. It was as if time had stopped completely, the pain and trauma of the world melted by the warmth of Fluttershy's kindness. Perhaps the word "Twily" sparked connotations between Twilight and the memory of her brother banishing her. ", "Ok Twilight." No one said a word until Velvet finally cut in, it was all too much for her to take. Cried Applejack, trying to defuse the situation. 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. Don't they realize what they've done? I..". You have already done enough as it is to destroy our daughter and so did the Princess and her friends, reminded Velvet, still in tears. Those who tried to resist were quickly incapacitated and harvested. "Don't you get it?! 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?". Meanwhile, Canterlot was buzzing with activity. "Your Majesty, we have created a new plan formed from the coordinates of the previous assault on Canterlot." I am her number one assistant, and one of the few loyal friends she still has. A house, a rock, anything would suffice. "You may see her, young Spike, but take heed. I know I am guilty of nearly letting my subjects, my ponies meet their doom, I know I am guilty of nearly letting Canterlot be wiped off the face of Equestria, and I am especially sorry for betraying my student, who holds so much faith for me and has given everything to both ourselves and Equestria. "Welcome back my Queen" Hissed Blade. "Your Majesty, I wish to inform you of an attack on one of the settlements outside the city. Aegis's Guards stood to attention, poised to strike on his word. asked Night with a hint of disappointment. "Of course ma'am." "Without Twilight, the Elements become useless!". It was apparent that the Changelings had taken them prisoner.". They were supposed to have learned their lesson after the incident they dubbed as "Lesson Zero", but in truth, they had learned nothing. Act 1 [Later, when Twilight and her friends are setting up for the wedding preparation before The REAL Canterlot Wedding begins] Twilight Sparkle: Seriously, though, I get why the Queen of The Changelings wanted to be with you, but how did you get someone as amazing as Cadance to marry you? "Not at all darling." Same goes for Sergeant Tone and his men.". Pinkie piped up. Tone asked flatly. "My story is not so different to Twilight's, Lady Velvet. ", "Exactly." ", "I was well aware of such a situation unfolding sir." What I'm asking is if you know Twilight did something wrong as well?". The first, she imagined, would be giving her a gift of a simple, but beautifully made dress. His partner did the same, before stepping back to allow Shining access. Snapped Spike. "Well, if you're lookin' at apologizing a third time, it better be pretty darn good! With that, Shroud left to get the blacksmiths to work. Applejack barked angrily. "Attention!" The wedding hall was one of those scenes at the present time: the picture of purest sadness. "Girls" Sobbed Twilight. Sorry I'm late. That wasn't the reason she was here. Now they were ready to stand before her and say they were sorry. Spike took it to mean Twilight rejected his request, until he heard the door unlock. "You see, while my sister did care for me, and while my subjects worshipped me in equal measure, Celestia was the only one between us who witnessed the ponies celebrating her day and singing her praises. Instead, she opted for a conciliatory defeat. Now the former was definitely sure not everypony had a good night's slumber. The aura she was sensing was undeniably strong, and bitter in feeling. Had the circumstances been any different, I would've happily stayed with you, but..you know. 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.". "Has she lost her mind or something?!" ", "Very well." Replied Skoula, interested in the Commander's proposal. ", "Yeah Cadance, I'm fine. "Princess Cadance, I'm here to see Twilight. Rarity moved to comfort her. It was clear what she had planned now that she'd taken her revenge on Twilight; for straight ahead, perched on the side of the mountains and lit by the evening sun, was the capitol city: Canterlot. cried Velvet. Replied Velvet anxiously. The point here is that the girls are sorry for abandoning you and they want to make things right! Replied Velvet. "I'll go and get Twilight. Taking a deep breath, Velvet braced herself. Unfortunately, she still managed to surprise the pink alicorn. "No Rainbow!" Perhaps she had been a bit too scathing in her criticism of her sister. "Well, OK, I'll take your word for it. The elderly Apple took a deep breath before she spoke. There was nothing that could ruin this moment, absolutely nothing. Something he couldn't quite put his claw on. Asked Twilight from inside. I don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I do remember asking her what spell she had learned.". They are led by Cadance, the Princess of Love and their mission is to broker a renewed peace with Twilight. Applejack couldn't help but notice the way they were looking at her. With that, the Mane 5 began to move out of the treehouse, one by hesitant one. 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. Do you understand now that being the bridesmaids of the wedding corrupted your minds to the point where your cares and responsibilities faded into nonexistence?". His face was initially grim with dread, but Shining recomposed himself, and dismissed the sentry. She was the Changeling Queen in disguise, and she was secretly preparing an invasion of Canterlot by her army. To make me be Celestia's attack dog again?!!". ", "It wasn't just you that betrayed our friendship Applejack." They now recognize that they made a terrible mistake and they wish to make amends however possible.". She was still listening, despite this. Finished Barbarousis. With another sniffle, Celestia recalled what she had sent Shining out to do. For the fourth time in a row, silence fell over the room as the Mane 5, Shining Armor and Celestia looked at Cadance in shock and horror. "Snake Bite, I have summoned your presence for a task of great importance. Following behind him was a sight that made the group tense up nervously. This was General Skoula, and his physical form was as intimidating and dominating as his reputation among even his own men. Adventure. Celestia remarked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. Knowing this, then one such as yourself should have learned the lesson to take others more seriously, especially those closest to you. Furthermore, she did also upset the bride, my niece. You may not be omnipotent, and on that matter, neither am I, but you of all ponies should know when something is wrong. The girls fell into an uneasy silence. After all, she recalled the birthday party in Canterlot Castle where Twilight was quite pleased with the dress which Rarity had not even half-finished. Spike immediately shot Applejack a glare in hopes it would send shivers down her spine. "Yeah. "But Princess, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" If we are to regain our strength, we must feed. Turning to the girls, she decided to test them, in order to prepare them for what they were about to face. What if Cadance wasn't an impostor? He could tell she was hurting badly from being abandoned, but there was something else. "What?! Even if she had managed to find an answer, it didn't matter anyway. For Twilight and Spike, it had felt like hours since they had left Canterlot for Ponyville, but in reality, it had only been a little over an hour and a half. The answer seemed glaringly obvious; Chrysalis had magicked Luna to sleep, before taking her back to her quarters to make it seem as if nothing had happened. Four voices hummed in agreement. "Pleaseplease don't leave me" Whimpered Twilight, still suffering from the intense effects her memories were forcing upon her. His attention soon returned to the royal sisters, who were just finishing up Luna's interrogation. Twilight's brother and Celestia also walked out on her, which left her emotionally devastated. Now, he felt like the world's worst brother. The girls are sorry and they wish to apologise to Twilight personally!". As for Celestia, even though her mane still billowed proudly from her scalp, she looked very forlorn and remorseful. With that, Shining led Luna down to the throne room. "But.Spike.we became Twilight's friends for a reason. However, they were completely harvested. Not only was this the most important moment of the Mane 5's lives, but it was quite possibly the most important moment in Equestrian history. That was uncalled fer!" The Nightmare Forces feed off negative emotions, such as the two I just mentioned. Twilight was your own sister, your own flesh and blood! ", "I got called into a meetin' with Granny Smith and Big Mac. The Mane 5 backed off to give her some breathing space. As she cried, there were three audible, but gentle knocks on the door. It was just them against the world. "Then why did you not defend Twilight at the wedding rehearsal?". Applejack stopped eating. "Now, we are aware that at this point, the Canterlot Royal Guard will come out of the castle en masse and attempt to form a defensive perimeter around the castle walls and entrance. a canterlot wedding. "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! 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. Before long, she had reached her old quarters from when she was living in the castle, still in her early days as Celestia's protege. "Princess, you are aware Twilight isn't exactly innocent of her crimes either?" Muffins which ah' and the royal cooks had spent so much time working on! Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. 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. "I just wanted to check on you, make sure you were doing OK after yesterday.
