It then fell to Commander Barbarousis to conclude the briefing. The only question that lingered, however, was how long would that loyalty last? "Proceed Commander." Ah' did apologize to Twilight, twice! With a new school, town, and friends, it's an adventure waiting to . To her surprise, it was the former who answered the door. I may fall, but I will fight you to the bitter end, because that is the reason I am a Royal Guard! The train had now reached the midway point on its journey and yet, Twilight still did not feel at peace. Replied Twilight lovingly. By the Creator, was Shining right when he guessed this wasn't over. In exchange for their services they would be allowed to do whatever they please. Twilight barged into the rehearsal and accused..well, you, of being evil with no proof to back up her claim. In the meantime, she was drinking a cup of hot cocoa, trying to drown her sorrows. A search party found their commander frozen solid. A battle was on the rise, but before the already present hostilities could escalate, the two sides stopped just metres from each other. ", "Understood Lieutenant. As for Shining, he felt it was best Celestia was informed of this development. "Instead of waiting outside the city to attack, our forces will infiltrate the city in disguise en masse, and blend in with the locals. "I understand your grief completely now, Sir Light and Lady Velvet, but while I empathize with your plight, I am not here to promise swift vengeance. A brief silence took hold as Celestia registered the news, before resuming her job. In fact, I'm sure Shining and Celestia have realized just how badly they screwed up by now. "Using my magic, I have been able to observe the movements of our enemies. Unfortunately, in his haste to leave, he wasn't prepared for what came next. One did not, and that was Rarity. If it was any consolation, although she did not know it at the time, Applejack was not the only one experiencing a restless night. This was starting to sound strange. Almost instantly, Blade returned to the throne room, always ready and eager to serve his queen. It never has and it never will, for as long as my heart beats, my brain thinks and my allegiance lies with you. "You're a love-stealing evil thug!". ", "You don't exactly look like it darling. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. Helping the unicorn to dry her eyes, Spike stood back as Twilight returned to her hooves. "There was no way I could have known..I did everything I could!". We may either succeed and conquer Canterlot, or we may fail and be evicted once more, but once thing is for certain. Snake Bite bowed without a word. "You are dismissed. And if that isn't bad enough, ya did not even say sorry to Twilight. If anyone asks, we are from Baltimare.". Twilight Sparkle grapples with her conflicted feelings when she finds out her brother, Shining Armor, is marrying Princess Celestia's niece, Princess Cadance. Cadance's face produced a frank expression. "Major Shroud! It won't go away. 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. "Beautiful? With an instant feeling of urgency coursing through her body, Luna was quick to acquiesce to Shining's orders. Gasped Celestia speechlessly. Do you seriously expect us to have just believed her out of blind loyalty? Taking a deep breath, Spike proceeded to talk. Trying to get Twilight to come around was not the reason she was there. Oftentimes, an artist would find a scene worthy of a new painting, and it would fall to him to transfer that scene from real life to canvas, thereby creating a transcendent work of art. Indeed, it was rock solid. "Thank you Luna. 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. Twilight had just reunited with her brother, who also happened to be the groom. Spike immediately shot Applejack a glare in hopes it would send shivers down her spine. Her Spartan was camped in the Forerunner building to the right of the crashed Pelican, armed with a sniper rifle. Celestia had to personally go down there to restore order, not to mention speaking to Twilight about what happened.". Celestia remarked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. I need you to answer some questions pertaining to the wedding. "Proceed" Answered the Guard, who proceeded to open his door to the study. "I am sure you do not need an explanation as to my sadness, Captain Armor. Shining proceeded to tell his parents of the events of the rehearsal, doing his utmost to retain his composure. It didn't take long for Rarity to put two and two together; Rainbow was asleep when she crash landed, and now she was only just waking up. The obvious coldness that the group could feel radiating off her. This was General Skoula, and his physical form was as intimidating and dominating as his reputation among even his own men. Everypony, meet Celestia.. You all know me for the Luna mobile, but now I have her sister: A 4th gen Pontiac Firebird. Together they moved out of the brush, making their way southeast toward the Everfree. Replied Rarity, who was still consoling the broken and remorseful Applejack. Just then, Cadance walked into the bakery. ", "Either way Son, you have shamed your family." 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. After a while, she grinned confidently, settling Barbarousis's nerves. "Well, if you're lookin' at apologizing a third time, it better be pretty darn good! It bore one of her greatest and most nostalgic hallmarks; a caring, sympathetic smile. 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. ", "It's OK Applejack." The doors remained open, allowing Luna a clear glance at her sister, who was watching her as the two sisters drew closer. The elderly Apple took a deep breath before she spoke. How are we going to deal with them? They have my permission to use tracking magic as well. I think they have marinated long enough. I don't care how you do it, just get out of Ponyville, but only when we have Cadance. The minutes passed by, and eventually the balcony doors re-opened, Spike emerging from them once more. Fluttershy returned to her cottage and carried on her duties to her animal friends but all the while, she thought about Twilight and how much she had been hurt behind her and the others' backs. She knew they couldn't afford to say something that would upset Twilight. 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. You all were.". I knew I couldn't trust you, yet I let my merciful nature get the better of me! "May I get you anything?" Replied Snake. The pain in her heart had become too great. What if that really was Cadance? Twilight is skeptical about her brother's wedding and Ash is worried about the threat on Canterlot. Shining Armor, in particular, was taking this harder than the others. She had a job to do, and that was to ensure the Nightmare Forces could not corrupt the souls of Night Light and Twilight Velvet, who had suffered enough just to know not only was their daughter betrayed and treated like a common criminal, but she could very well have died in an unmarked tomb which nopony even knew of. Her mane was half-inflated, a sign of her misery, and her eyes had bags, an obvious indicator she did not sleep well. "How could I have been so blind Shining?" 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. We must plan for a defensive operation in advance. Unbeknownst to them, a Changeling disguised as a tanned yellow pegasus stallion, replete with a brown mane and tail had walked into town, and was quietly observing them. Those who gave themselves up were spared harvesting, but were taken prisoner. Just make sure you knock before entering.". After being laid down gently on the floor, the blue pegasus came to. Said Fluttershy. Eventually, after a spree of incapacitating and harvesting the love of her opponents, Chrysalis was left with Aegis, who was a bedraggled mess. Alkaios! "Cadance, I need you to talk to Twilight, because she needs to know I am extremely sorry for what I have done. The part that struck them the hardest was when he scornfully scolded Twilight and cut her off from his life, Twilight's friends leaving her to melt into a puddle of misery and Princess Celestia stabbing the final dagger into her heart by saying what she said. She was still very ticked off at the Mane 5, not just because they were invading her space, but also because she couldn't trust them to walk out on her again. It's not like that!" Cried Pinkie. Now that she had a man in charge of drilling and equipment, she needed somepony to command the home defense. a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction. Luna responded. Emotions which, once they took hold, would give way to malice, evil and nightmares, an experience which consumed the Lunar Princess herself. Shinings heart sank deeper into his stomach. distant, and to make matters worse, she cannot rest for fear of a dream that she cannot remember. Said Shining, who stepped aside to allow Luna to comfort her distraught sister. With that, Spike went back inside, the doors closing behind him. Said Chrysalis, her men following the command. To complicate matters, nopony knew the truth at the time, so by a technicality Twilight was as much at fault as the girls were. Nodding to their sergeant, the Changeling troops assumed their disguises, as did Icy Tone and Snake Bite. He had knocked one of Chrysalis's Changelings out cold with a swift strike to the pony's temple using his leg armor. Youhad no right to berate her like that and that goes double for her friends and the Princess herself. "Attention everypony! ", "Anything to preserve the welfare of my subjects." Once the Princess of Love has entered the treehouse, I want you to signal the battalion, which will be following you, to storm both the treehouse and the village, capture the Princess and bring her to the Hive. ", "Just a few scars" Replied Chrysalis. said the recomposed Night Light. "I turned to the dark side for want of recognition of the beauty of the night by my subjects. 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. Said Pinkie. Raider! I have also informed my parents of Twiley's situation.". 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 Changelings roared in unison, their thirst for blood amplified beyond comprehension. Replied the four guards in unison, following Shining down the hall as he trotted ahead of them. The time has come for Canterlot to learn the true strength of the Changelings". It all started after we had arrived at Canterlot. But for now, the main objective was to meet the girls and Cadance at Sugarcube Corner to form a plan. The bubbles began to increase in brightness as the energy of the spell increased, the forms of both Velvet and Night becoming obscured by the brightening light.
