Night moved closer to his wife, who leaned close to him in response. "How typical of your lot, Chrysalis" Chortled the lead Guard, Defiant Aegis. Just then, the conductor called out from the middle carriage. Back at Sugarcube Corner, time had ticked away since the girls had arrived. He was still her loyal assistant, and as such he would follow up on his role's job description, as well as the promise he made to himself to never leave her again, following his forgiveness by Twilight. "Proceed" Answered the Guard, who proceeded to open his door to the study. With a "mmph" of configuration, she smiled at Luna once more. No doubt the events from earlier were still taking a hefty toll on her mind. Aunt Celestia asked me to tell you that if you wish to seek a private audience with her, you are more than welcome to do so.

However, the former could not help but wonder why if Luna was so badly affected that she allowed the Nightmare Forces to take her over, then why did the same not happen to Twilight? One did not, and that was Rarity. Thank you for the offer Rarity. But what she saw instead was a small settlement, complete with an equally small garrison of Royal Guards. That lesson was to never ignore the concerns of your friends, no matter how small. 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. Applejack's voice began to waver as her normally iron will sagged, melting back into a puddle of regret. Replied Shining sadly. Said Luna, who had little idea her guests would be royal guards with very specific orders. May I come in?". The latter turned to Shining Armor next. What matters is that we are sorry for what we did, and all we want now is for us to be friends again. Said Pinkie. With that, Spike began packing his things. "I did not let her down Luna. "Princess, we have brought your sister as you requested.". Please wait here.". Anypony who attempts to resist or to rescue her is to be dealt with immediately. Asked Twilight from inside. Chrysalis then stared into a green flame that burned at the side of her throne. Shining stopped dead in his tracks, the equivalent of a spear slamming into his heart.

"Using my magic, I have been able to observe the movements of our enemies. 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. As Spike left to fetch Twilight, Cadance decided to ensure that the girls knew what they had to say, and more importantly how to say it. All you cared about that whole day was playing with the wedding cake decorations! I don't know what we were thinking. "Is that my Shining Armor?!" I have already been punished enough for my sins.". Replied Twilight lovingly. Night Light immediately hurried to the front door, before bowing to greet the princess. ", "Thank you Cadance. One would expect her to take it maturely. Celestia please help us.". Whispered Luna, comforting her sister. Am I clear Snake Bite?". With that, Shining led Luna down to the throne room.

With authority, the baby dragon approached the Princess of Love to state his business. This was the latter's ultimate redemption. Replied Twilight, who lay down on her hindlegs as she crossed her forelegs under her head. She was still listening, despite this. Without Twilight to lead them, the Elements of Harmony would become useless, and Equestria as a whole would lose its greatest means of defense. Twilight looked at Spike with a frank expression. Asked Velvet curiously. Dark. "Have you completed your missions Captain? Chrysalis would have revealed her deception and conquered the city in one swift stroke, and the blood of thousands of innocent ponies would have been on our hooves. She just wanted to cry, if it meant getting all of that stress out of her system. May I come in?" 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.

And in Twilight's case, alone, afraid, and very hurt?". ", "You don't exactly look like it darling. That would mean telling his mother and father, Twilight Velvet and Night Light, of the events that had transpired since the rehearsal, and by the Creator, they would not take it well. How can you expect me to just forget what happened?". ", "That's not the point Princess! That was it, there was nothing left to stand in her way. 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. For once, she could take a moment to truly feel the atmosphere in the room, the strongest layer being Twilight's anguish and rage during her outburst, which brought forth the revelation that she could have died due to her rejection by her friends and family that fateful night. ", "Canterlot nearly fell, because of the collective incompetence of myself, Captain Armor and the Element Bearers. We all chose that stupid bug over our best friend, that's how we repaid Twilight for all the fun times we've had together. Applejack wasn't the only one who betrayed everything she stood for, we did as well. Under our leadership, there was peace throughout the land, nary a trace of conflict or discord to be found outside. "Applejack, there's something Big Macintosh and I want to ask you.". "They were shocked and angered by what I told them. 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.

Not only did he ban Twilight from this once-in-a-lifetime event, but he had to go and scar her mentally as well. One could even say Twilight loved Celestia just as equally as she loved her mother. "Night Light! "Sergeant, Lieutenant Blade has given us orders to billet here for the time being. She was cornered, and it could have been any more obvious to her. Nothing could get past the stony hardness of her gaze, but the worst of all? Applejack retorted. By the Creator, was Shining right when he guessed this wasn't over. ", Applejack cried silently. ", "So you thought it was right to break the heart of "your most faithful student", betraying her trust in the process? Come." Chrysalis and the Changelings followed suit. Trying to get Twilight to come around was not the reason she was there. Would you care to stay with me for the time being?". What kind of ponies are you? I just didn't think that what I did would hurt her so badly. With that, the Mane 5 began to move out of the treehouse, one by hesitant one. On why did she have to be punished like this? You should be ashamed of yourself!". 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. Unfortunately her mind would not serve the same purpose, constantly tormenting her with the still fresh memories of herself and the girls abandoning Twilight at the rehearsal and her subsequent reaction following the victory over the Changelings. Furthermore, she did also upset the bride, my niece. In fact, she looked about the same as Pinkie. All this was as per Shining Armor's orders to get Canterlot back to working capacity. With that, Twilight galloped back upstairs, utterly offended. Not forgetting her strong sense of generosity, she decided to offer Cadance somewhere to sleep for the night. "Iknew Twilight trusted me. "This shield spell contains traces of Twilight's anger, hence it's dark coloring" Said Cadance grimly. Replied Applejack, slightly unsure of what was about to happen. 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. Honestly Luna, I can't explain it. ", "I'm not sure darling. "Next stop Ponyville!" ", "I did not forget!" Now at the time, we didn't know that she was a fake, so we thought Twilight was being mean. Even Spark was having trouble dancing the ballet of clashed blades with his other, despite his high morale. As my most trusted lieutenant, I am sure you will not fail me. We must catch the train". It was because of this her mind was made up already. With that, Luna spread her wings, before flying off into the distance. "Let me see my sister captain." "Pleaseplease don't leave me" Whimpered Twilight, still suffering from the intense effects her memories were forcing upon her. The doors remained open, allowing Luna a clear glance at her sister, who was watching her as the two sisters drew closer. Should we find somewhere to billet for the time being? Try not to look suspicious. The cowpony confirmed glumly. "I can't believe ANY of you! It is I who should be remorseful and ashamed.". It is the first half of a two-part season finale. "We won't leave you ever again.". "No Rainbow!" the Mane 5 could do little more than look at each other, speechless and shaken. 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. Hoping that Celestia might help him, he turned to her for answers. Take care of yourself. Also, we didn't just walk out on her. After taking a look in the mirror to check her face (and after briefly washing it), that's when it clicked.

", "And I failed the Element of Honesty because when we wrote that friendship report, we were supposed to have learned an important lesson. That is what Shining told us when he came here, and it is the reason Velvet and I are so furious. "Thank you General." "I'm sorry Rarity, but it seems Twilight was right. 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. Twilight was ravin' about Cadence being an impostor and repeatedly called her evil, which made her cry. With that, Spike began marching out of the room, tearing off his tuxedo as a symbolic reminder of the corruptive power of the wedding. To complicate matters, nopony knew the truth at the time, so by a technicality Twilight was as much at fault as the girls were. But from too many mistakes, there's no love, dancing or cake. Wracked with grief, Applejack flopped onto her bed in tears, but not before hurriedly hanging up her trademark Stetson. While it failed to, that didn't stop him from opening his mouth. Cadance arrived at Golden Oaks Library, the dark purple shield still encasing it. "What if I was wrong about the impostor? Spike could only smile at that.

With a sigh, she continued onward to Sugarcube Corner. "Changelings! Eventually, after a spree of incapacitating and harvesting the love of her opponents, Chrysalis was left with Aegis, who was a bedraggled mess. Only the Creator knows where they are right now." Said Fluttershy. 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.
