", "Very well." She was cornered, and it could have been any more obvious to her. "Wait here. ", "Yeah, we screwed up big time." My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If? "You see, I'm worried about the threat from the changelings." Although the changelings along with their queen, Chrysalis, had been defeated during the royal wedding, no one could be certain where they . Growled the commandant in annoyance. "Let's go home Spike. "Surrender? They heard me cryin' last night and wanted to know what was wrong. Chat! She was failing to find words to counter Spike's arguments. With that, the Mane 5 began to move out of the treehouse, one by hesitant one. Before his eyes, it opened to reveal Twilight, who was packing her saddlebags. ", "I failed the Element of Laughter because I chose not to cheer you up." You, her friends and her princess put her and all of Canterlot in jeopardy! "I know that what she did wasn't exactly noble of herself either, but Rarity, you must understand. "What gives you the right to question me, AJ?" The Twilight Time Lord, Adventurequest Worlds : Twilight the Hero. "That's the Changeling Queen's name, and it sounds every bit as evil as she is." 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. You're no fool. "You heard her. If they were going to be of any help to Twilight at this time, they needed to be safe from anything, therefore Night felt this was for the best. However, Blade ordered Snake to hold position for a little while longer, so as to not make things seem suspicious. "According to what she told us one evening, Twilight saw this Cadance doing things the real Cadance would never do. They were all suffering equally as bad as she was, and thus they had to be there for each other and for Twilight especially. I must speak with the both of you immediately.". Eventually, she reached the door to her room and opened it. Aside from that, there's nothing else to report. "I don't know what happened after that because we were ordered out of the hall by the Royal Guard, but I have every faith that Twilight played a part in the victory over the changelings. I don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I do remember asking her what spell she had learned.". With a "mmph" of configuration, she smiled at Luna once more. You doing OK this morning? It was my own darned pride that led me to abandon my loyalty. Cadance interjected. In fact, she looked about the same as Pinkie. 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?". Universe. "Proceed Commander." Said the youngest Royal Guard, a rookie by all appearances. ", "Yeah Cadance, I'm fine. Shining Armor had left you. Said Applejack, admiring the sight. It doesnt matter anymore. Meanwhile, Cadance and the Mane 5 were aboard the train which followed Twilight's to Ponyville. "I left Twilight, because I had no choice! 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. Snake was renowned for his effectiveness on the field, particularly in espionage and marking targets for the army to eliminate. ", "Of course they do Twilight, that's why they're here. Not only did they emotionally scar our beloved daughter, they left her vulnerable and helpless. Everyone in the Hive could feel it: nothing was going to stop them now. 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. Such actions would be unworthy of his rank, as if he had not done enough to stain its honor already. I don't deserve your forgiveness, heck, I don't deserve nothing from you. As they were doing this, Commander Barbarousis had come up with an idea, one he thought would benefit the operation and the army immensely. When I betrayed our friendship, I betrayed everything I stood for, and I deeply regret it. "Is that it?" "I hope you aren't hurt? To make matters worse, he knew that it wouldn't end there. Meanwhile, Rarity had managed to pull herself together. An evil and satisfied smile crept across the Changeling Queen's mouth. 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. "It's alright Applejack. 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. Replied Applejack, slightly unsure of what was about to happen. 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. Said Pinkie. Do y'all remember the day I left with Twilight to go to Canterlot for the wedding? Not only did he ban Twilight from this once-in-a-lifetime event, but he had to go and scar her mentally as well. It ain't right of a princess to do something as foalish as a hoofshake." As she walked away, she heard the familiar sound of a shield spell being cast. May I come in?" We're going home, considering I'm not welcome here anymore.". I told them what happened, and welly'know.". Cadance's face produced a frank expression. For Celestia and the Mane 5, this was very grave news. All you need to do is think of a Plan B, something that can make and have Twilight understand how sorry you really are. There was nothing that could ruin this moment, absolutely nothing. Spike witnesses it and, after the Changelings are sent away, Twilight is awakened by the same shockwave. Replied Rarity, who was still consoling the broken and remorseful Applejack. We may either succeed and conquer Canterlot, or we may fail and be evicted once more, but once thing is for certain. Added Rarity. "Why?" ", "Just a few scars" Replied Chrysalis. "Rainbow!" ", "It is a good plan, Commander." Applejack could only look at her with a face that bore a very clear expression of horror. 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. "Oh Cadance" Sobbed Twilight, who embraced the former in a hug. I am here to save you from the Nightmare Forces that once corrupted me.". The girls proceeded inside, the front door open, but Cadance could still sense the traces of rage embedded within the shield's structure. He was walking up to the throne that Princess Celestia was seated upon. "What if I was wrong about the impostor? In unison, the Mane 5 bowed their heads sadly. "Ok Twilight, I understand. Following an unbridled facehoof, Rarity used her magic to lift Rainbow out of the mudhole and brought her inside Sugarcube Corner. Twilight needs us, and we're getting to her one way or another!" "Nervous?" Spike filled me in on everything, especially the part where those five backstabbers wish to apologize.". "I did not let her down Luna. Added Pinkie. Finished Barbarousis. 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. Night and Velvet leaned in close; whatever news he had was obviously bad. Any information she could get at this time would be of great assistance to figure out how this happened. 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. "It's as simple as that. We must catch the train". Furthermore, we find it impossible to understand how the group failed to grasp the realization that Twilight had a very close and personal relationship with Cadance, something that we are very keenly aware of, and therefore could not connect the dots that would have exposed the usurper from her veil. The Changelings roared in unison, their thirst for blood amplified beyond comprehension. I'm just wondering why the girls are trying to make it up to me. Each and every sob that Twilight sobbed made Cadance shake a little, but still she held onto the unicorn for all she was worth. Once the locomotive had reached a complete stop, the duo disembarked, bypassing the station building before heading towards the Golden Oaks Library. Surely they won't allow themselves to be defeated as easily as last time! Twilight whimpered sadly. I will run Canterlot into the ground, even if it takes my life.". Said source was Spike, who was facing the wall with his head bowed not in reverence, but in sadness. Celestia did mention something about betraying somepony when she was crying in the former's embrace, but it was only after she put two and two together did she see the horrible picture that was painted in her mind. Barked Chrysalis. ", "That's not the point Princess! The Changelings bowed to greet their queen, before casting hard and menacing looks upon the line of prisoners that were marched inside. While she failed to break the shield, Rainbow had certainly gained somepony's attention as the doors to the treehouse balcony opened. I want the new army to be deadlier than before. Now at the time, we didn't know that she was a fake, so we thought Twilight was being mean. "Well, it's best that I start from the beginning..". Licenses, Support us "Yes Fluttershy, you really were that cruel to her. Alt. Applejack wasn't the only one who betrayed everything she stood for, we did as well. From the numerous cracks and windows that dotted the structure, a sickly green light glowed, with trace amounts of smoke rising from them. The Mane 5, Shining and Celestia turned their heads to the source of the voice. Celestia smiled responsively. "But Commander, what of the Element Bearers? Only Rarity found the courage to say anything, but even she knew it would be feeble. "Dear sister, I have known you for a long, long time. Cadance replied calmly. Shining Armor was sat down on his rump atop the altar/throne, crestfallen and wallowing in self-disgust. "Nothing sinister darling. I would do it myself, but I must oversee repairs to the city, as well as the immediate treatment of the injured. Luna was dismayed. "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". All passengers, the next stop is Ponyville!". "Luna, guards, I wish to talk with Captain Armor alone. Shining sighed deeply. ", "Be at ease, Lady Velvet. I believe that Twilight's parents should be informed of these events as soon as you are finished.". I cannot explain how I believed that impostor to be my niece. 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. Nothing could get past the stony hardness of her gaze, but the worst of all? Her mane was half-inflated, a sign of her misery, and her eyes had bags, an obvious indicator she did not sleep well. She had finally come to terms with her mistake. Applejack, meanwhile, slowly trudged back to Sweet Apple Acres, saddened and dejected. Rainbow cut in. No one said a word until Velvet finally cut in, it was all too much for her to take. Did you, all of you, forget that Canterlot was under threat of an attack?!". But be careful. But now, the teacher who had taught her student so much about magic and friendship simply walks out on her, as did her brother and friends when all she was trying to do was save them from a terrible fate? "Aura is the energy which is generated from a pony's emotions. ", "But that's the problem Princess." Celestia moped, acknowledging her captain's first name for the first time in a long time. We pushed Twilight aside like she was nopony. There was a pause. Spike immediately shot Applejack a glare in hopes it would send shivers down her spine. 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. However, her memories did not betray her. Did you become Twilight's friends because you liked her and wanted to be best friends forever? She tried explaining to her friends, but they dismissed her concerns as mere wedding stress. "In the event the second echelon goes rogue, our Changelings will enclose and crush them, while hunting down any stragglers. ", "Affirmative. "Instead, I let the glamour of being a bridesmaid and the excitement of doing a Sonic Rainboom go to my head. Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle had met alone up in Canterlot Tower for a private discussion. Back at the library, Twilight's sobs were beginning to slow. Have you forgotten just how much she believed in you? Applejack couldn't help but notice the way they were looking at her. "Yes Dad." Replied Snake. He could tell she was hurting badly from being abandoned, but there was something else. ", "No ma'am. a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction. It was only now that everypony in the castle had learned of the caves, and ever since, Celestia had sent a scouting party of Royal Guards to investigate them, in order to find out how Chrysalis had managed to imprison both Cadance and Twilight in them, while taking measures to ensure they are never used in such a manner ever again. A brief silence took hold as Celestia registered the news, before resuming her job. "I will not fail you.". Twilight Sparkle grapples with her conflicted feelings when she finds out her brother, Shining Armor, is marrying Princess Celestia's niece, Princess Cadance. The only reason we supported the wedding was so we can welcome Cadence, ours and Celestias own foalsitter and niece into the Sparkle family. I may fall, but I will fight you to the bitter end, because that is the reason I am a Royal Guard! ", "Why Auntie? Cadance was taken by surprise at how quickly the plan went belly-up, but as a firm believer in Twilight, she knew the latter would still allow room for a second chance. Moments later, Princess Cadance, the bride, Twilight's former foalsitter and somepony with whom she was very close, appeared. "Now I must return to the palace. There is nothing more we desire than this.". "Princess Luna? It all started after we had arrived at Canterlot. His face was initially grim with dread, but Shining recomposed himself, and dismissed the sentry. Twilight Sparkle is a 16-year-old girl who has just moved to Canterlot City with her family. "What is the matter dear sister? After a little while, Celestia managed to recompose herself, with a request to boot. As a teacher, Celestia was extremely disappointed in herself. Captain, may I talk to you in private?". Finally, Luna cast the spell, and it encapsulated both Velvet and Night in two white bubbles filled with interlinking particles of magic. 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. As she cried, there were three audible, but gentle knocks on the door. Barked Blade, who ran off to prepare the freshly replenished Changeling Army. Unfortunately, she still managed to surprise the pink alicorn. "Eeyup, there ain't nothing in Equestria that's going to break this shield." Please calm down! Suddenly, with authority Spike threw his hat on the ground, not caring in the slightest about whatever damage it suffered. 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 first, she imagined, would be giving her a gift of a simple, but beautifully made dress. Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. 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. As my most trusted lieutenant, I am sure you will not fail me. I have heard enough as it is from Twilight, Cadance and Spike even. twilight runs away from her brother's wedding and ends up on earth in the 1920's. she there meets her only chance to fit in a new world. ", "Of course your Majesty" Blade hissed in response. Applejack barked angrily. Discord Aegis's Guards stood to attention, poised to strike on his word. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. Without Twilight to lead them, the Elements of Harmony would become useless, and Equestria as a whole would lose its greatest means of defense. The train had now reached the midway point on its journey and yet, Twilight still did not feel at peace. "Thank you Luna. It is unknown to us what became of Shining and Celestia at that time, but Twilight had nopony else to turn to, hence why we believe that her friends basically betrayed her just for the comparably petty glamour of being the bridesmaids of the wedding. This was General Skoula, and his physical form was as intimidating and dominating as his reputation among even his own men. Knowing this, then one such as yourself should have learned the lesson to take others more seriously, especially those closest to you. Could you explain the basics of what happened?". "Yes ma'am." I was only doing what I thought was right. As it stands, we have done enough already. Applejack could not answer. Behind him, the doors flung open to reveal Celestia's Royal Guards, with Luna following closely behind. ", This made Cadance lower a brow in question. Maugrim! However, they were completely harvested. "Ok men, engage your disguises. There were no villagers though. 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. You saw much potential in her. We must plan for a defensive operation in advance. Am I clear Snake Bite?". That lesson was to never ignore the concerns of your friends, no matter how small. But then came the sound of snorting mixed with snoring. It was almost unfathomable, how far he had fallen from grace. SubStar "I am sure you do not need an explanation as to my sadness, Captain Armor. Snapped Spike. This site and its contents are not affiliated with Hasbro, Inc. Cadance arrived at Golden Oaks Library, the dark purple shield still encasing it. 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. 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". "Night Light! "Oh my Celestia, my poor Twiley!" Cried Rarity, who immediately galloped over to the aforementioned pegasus to make sure she was OK. "Are you alright?". "Have you completed your missions Captain? Disguise yourselves and your men, and we will go hide somewhere nopony will find us. Hoping that Celestia might help him, he turned to her for answers. 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. And if that isn't bad enough, ya did not even say sorry to Twilight. Meanwhile, Luna was first to break the ice between herself and Celestia. Four voices hummed in agreement. "Never. So Twilight breathed into the small paper bag while the therapist casted more of her specialty magic on her to calm her down. I want to make up for my actions at the rehearsal.". "Thank you for your gratitude Sir Light." Yet another price had been paid for their mistake, and one that was very, very costly. 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. 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. said Shining. "Princess Cadance, I'm here to see Twilight. Has Twilight ever been wrong about something before?". Rarity's expression remained unchanged, but she decided it was best she did not dwell on it. By cutting off your ties with her and brushing off her warnings, you nearly brought upon Equestrias ultimate destruction. I can let myself out. What.why are you here? ", "Exactly." Replied Skoula, having taken some time to analyse the proposal. "Cadance and Twilight were so close that they did everything together, even the hoofshake. Luna gasped again. ", "Anything to preserve the welfare of my subjects." "It's going to be OK.". Cried Pinkie. Twilight tried sharing a hoofshake with her from when they were young, but the Princess didn't recognize it.". ", "As much as I respect and admire your loyalty to your family Captain, I'm afraid your duties lie elsewhere. He didn't stay with Twilight not because he willingly chose to leave Twilight to wallow in her misery. Replied the alabaster unicorn. Spike? I know we did try but it's just not enough. There was no doubt in her mind that Celestia would retaliate for this particular assault, should it fail, but for whatever she would send to attack the Hive, be it her Guards or the Element Bearers (the latter being the more likely), or even if Canterlot was conquered but a small resistance movement had managed to infiltrate enemy lines in an attempt to assassinate her or even to attack the Hive, it was necessary to ready the home defences. "We understand darling." I think I need to lie down". Speaking of the latter, Celestia was wondering, on a side note, where she was during the Changeling invasion. Asked Applejack. "Canterlot Caves?" "Cadance, I need you to talk to Twilight, because she needs to know I am extremely sorry for what I have done. Spike looked up to see Twilight, her face as blank as stone. Criminals, thugs, dissidents and individuals who resent the treasured Equestrian values of friendship and harmony. Without them, Equestria is defenseless.". They followed behind her, closing the doors as they left. "I slept just fine. Luna's remark made the couple raise their brows in surprise. After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. The walls, floor and roof were cast marble, a red carpet stretching from the door to Celestia's bed, equally an impressive sight as the room itself. With that, Spike went back inside, the doors closing behind him. Luna could only watch as her sister lowered her head in shame. ", "Yeah..I guess." Fluttershy said before yawning mid-sentence. Art Chat Fanfiction General Discussion Generals Pony Discussion Roleplaying Site and Policy Tagging Discussion Uploader Discussion Post Search. Tone asked flatly. The doors remained open, allowing Luna a clear glance at her sister, who was watching her as the two sisters drew closer. I was just thinking about stuff. What you are about to hear is top secret, and absolutely nopony can know of it.". "Then you are ready." Understood?". "Iknew Twilight trusted me. As soon as they got into formation, they broke into a canter, making haste for Luna's private quarters. After a while, she grinned confidently, settling Barbarousis's nerves. "Indeed we are Princess." ", "I know Dad", sighed Shining. "No, please!" "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. We already apologized for our mistakes! ", "No Fluttershy,I haven't. So, after checking to make sure Sweetie Belle was still sound asleep, and after spending roughly 15-20 minutes fixing up her mane and tail (and applying her make-up), Rarity left for Sugarcube Corner, but not before eating breakfast and leaving a little something for Sweetie Belle to eat herself. 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. "But goodness me, you look terrible. I have already been punished enough for my sins.". One did not, and that was Rarity. The Mane 5, with Cadance in tow, entered the main room of the library. "He is the captain of the Canterlot's Royal Guard" explain Twilight. The pain must be excruciating, for want of a fitting word. Unable to compose herself any longer, the cowpony started sobbing. "There's nowhere in the town we can hide. They are led by Cadance, the Princess of Love and their mission is to broker a renewed peace with Twilight. 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. We do not need this to continue! She just wanted to cry, if it meant getting all of that stress out of her system. She looked about ready to give up "But we were so close to getting her back! There wasn't a hint of delight or joy traceable on her face or in her soul. "Thank you General." Please follow us to the living room." You believed that she was the perfect protege, and thus you took her under your wing in order to help her realize that potential. "Well.basically what happened is that Twilight was concerned about Princess Cadance, who was due to be married to our son, Shining Armor, at the time.You see Princess, the Princess Cadance that Twilight was so concerned about was not the real one. My sister needs me.". Eventually, Celestia got a hold of herself. I'm..I'm here to say sorry.". "We appreciate your service. "Oh Celestia, how are we going to fix this mess?" Pinkie piped up. Asked Twilight from inside. The Princess requests a moment alone with the captain.". I like this plan. A storm was crashing down upon the Black Widow's Peaks, rain as thick as glass soaking the jagged mountaintops. He proceeded to knock on the door. The girls fell into an uneasy silence. However, he was met with no answer as it turned out Celestia had fallen asleep. Twilight is skeptical about her brother's wedding and Ash is worried about the threat on Canterlot. "But what if this second echelon decides to rebel against us? After a long moment of silence, Fluttershy managed to speak the question that hung on everypony's minds. He had witnessed Cadance and the Mane 5 enter the treehouse, and had also contacted Black Blade for permission to engage. Moments later, Princess Cadance, the bride, Twilight's former foalsitter and somepony with whom she was very close . First off, when dawn broke over Canterlot, what happened when you left your post?".
