To make me be Celestia's attack dog again?!! " ", "Look Spike, I really don't know what to think, I'm just so mad and angry right now, and the fact that you did exactly what they did. [filled with rage, Sonic suddenly transforms into his Dark Form as the Chaos Emeralds suddenly turned black]. Follow us Gasped Celestia speechlessly. Just thinking about her down in the caves, cold, heartbroken, alone and dying while they were all caught up in the happiness of the false wedding and then Chrysalis taking over and her army wreaking havoc across Equestria, especially Ponyville, without their best friend to help stop their greatest enemy brought tears of shame to her eyes. 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." While there was no conflict outside, there was conflict deep inside. Shadow: For the record, I knew that Cadance we were with was a faker all along. "Twilight, I'm here to say sorry for leaving you at the rehearsal. Shining shares the same pain I do. Why would he do that to you!? However, as enraging as that picture was, she was not here to condemn those responsible. A storm was crashing down upon the Black Widow's Peaks, rain as thick as glass soaking the jagged mountaintops. Taking a moment to sniffle again, Twilight laid down her sins before them. "Hello Cadance.". When we betrayed you, the connection between us as the Elements of Harmony was critically damaged to the point where they could not be used. 1,014 users online From her bedroom, the unicorn could be heard sobbing. Back in the wedding hall, there was little more than seven ponies with the responsibility of Canterlot's invasion laid on their shoulders, a baby dragon devastated by Twilight's revelation, while also disgusted at his own reaction to the lavender unicorn's outburst at the wedding rehearsal. All three had very well-developed and clever minds, which could use the full capabilities of their respective species to full advantage. Cream: Poor thing, how long have you been running? The girls did not move a muscle, stuck in a shocked trance. [leaves the pavilion, shutting the doors]. I'm sure any negative behavior she might be displaying is simply the result of nerves. After a little while, Celestia managed to recompose herself, with a request to boot. By the Creator, was Shining right when he guessed this wasn't over. And don't come back unless you want to be my friends again! Just let it out" Cooed Candace softly, still dutifully caring for the filly she was entrusted with. ", "I thought our friendship was more important than this wedding, you could've stuck up for me when they left, all you did was follow the pack. "Please don't leave me.". You will also find me your finest spy. You may not be omnipotent, and on that matter, neither am I, but you of all ponies should know when something is wrong. I haven't seen them at the wedding when we faced Chrysalis. [Cadance smiles and Twilight's eyes widen as she realizes that she is the real Cadance]. A Canterlot Wedding: Aftermath Chapter 3: Friendship - FanFiction Twilight Sparkle: He is pretty special. The sun princess spoke glumly. The time has come for Canterlot to learn the true strength of the Changelings". Once the Princess is captured, you are to flee the village and return to the Hive. You must let me go with Cadance. Snooping as usual I see. You have not only brought shame to our family Applejack, but you have brought shame on yourself and your Element. "Hello Twilight." Nuh! If they are sufficient enough to keep us from entering the castle, then the operation may last longer than estimated. As you know, my job as the Princess of the Night is to watch over my subjects as they sleep, and ensure their dreams do not cause them distress or harm. Flash cut to Lucy Mann punching Twinkleshine, Minuette in the air, as Royal Guards, Princess Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, Rainbow Dash, Spike (Dragon), Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Princess Celestia, all in shock. She blasts a wall, causing it to burst open, revealing another Cadance], [Twilight lunges at Cadance, pinning her down]. In the meantime, Celestia turned to Cadance. Ah' did apologize to Twilight, twice! [The changelings are hovering above the bubble menacingly while two of them are banging and pounding on it causing it to crack a bit. This was the latter's ultimate redemption. A brief silence took hold as Celestia registered the news, before resuming her job. [Shining Armour glares at Chrysalis then turns to Cadance and they put their horns together which creates a flow of powerful magic which heals Cadance's bruises and tattered mane. Shining Armor: Wha where huh? Why would her niece need to see Luna during her watch, and only to show her a spell she had learnt? The latter walked inside the study, where he found Celestia at her desk, filing through a mess of papers which lay before her. Apparently, the Bearer of Magic has distanced herself from her friends, convinced they had betrayed her and left her to die by my hooves. to be continued(I need to rewatch it..again), [The episode starts with a nice beautiful day in a field in Equestria. The Mane Six went over to the door and peeking through a gap, they can hear everything Shining Armor and Cadance are saying]. "With pleasure sir!" We're not stupid enough to fall for the same trick twice! Spike: [deep voice] Do you? "They were shocked and angered by what I told them. [The Mane Six look at the dresses before taking them off and walking out]. Trotting through the castle's long and myriad hallways, he finally came across Celestia's private study, guarded by two of his men. She understood that Cadance was trying to play peacemaker, but the odds were against her, and the Mane 5 too. [She open her eyes and look to see Twilight and the others] Twilight, it's me! Twilight Sparkle: I wouldn't have believed us either. It's getting late anyway. Now, he felt like the world's worst brother. We may either succeed and conquer Canterlot, or we may fail and be evicted once more, but once thing is for certain. 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. "Celestia invites you to the wedding of Mi Amora Cadenza and"she gasped"My brother?!" With a sigh, she continued onward to Sugarcube Corner. The lavender unicorn looked at him, having snapped out of her trance. Should we find somewhere to billet for the time being? The sound was so loud that it caused everything made of glass in the room (along with Shining's eardrums) to shatter. 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. Just wait until you see what I have planned for the bachelor party! Twilight couldnt take the rejection anymore; she dashed out of that room as fast as she could not looking back, but only tears running down her face. But for now, the three leaders were to help Skoula in planning the attack on the city, before it could be presented to the Queen. Shining Armour turns to Twilight]. Applejack: Have ya'll seriously not been paying attention, her behavior with us was disgraceful! Greater matters such as this always overruled the minor details, a fact Cadance did not forget. "Surrender now and you will not be harmed.". [laughing] Though I must admit, [looks at Team Sonic] I am curious, though. Chrysalis: [laughing] It's funny, really. Princess Luna: Rest, my sister. Within hours, the village was ablaze, and Chrysalis and her Changelings, with their prisoners in tow, proceeded to return to their hive in the mountain range known as the Black Widow's Peak. SubStar There was silence, and for a time, nothing seemed to be happening. However, Twilight seemed to only cry harder. The pain in her heart had become too great. "As well as the sound of a bell!" [to the others] Wedding? Rarity push them aside and catches it], [Seeing the annoyed trio of bridesmaids looking at her, she sheepishly uses her magic to levitate the bouquet. 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. Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. "Let's go home Spike. It's almost like she's the threat. Angel tried his best to comfort her, not knowing the reason behind his master's sorrow. "My Changelings, the time is ripe. Dr. Eggman: Of course it will, granted, it wasn't exactly my plan, but hey, I'm contributing to it at least. How would your friends probably feel? Pinkie patted his back, We didnt say that, you just made a boo-boo thats alland boo-boos can be made better! she said with a smile. Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. Please, you have to believe me. ", "And anyway, that's what friends do!" He had witnessed Cadance and the Mane 5 enter the treehouse, and had also contacted Black Blade for permission to engage. While it failed to, that didn't stop him from opening his mouth. Twilight had her suspicions that Cadence Mi Amore Cadenza wasnt herself, but after she caught her brainwashing Shining Amor, she had no choice but to speak up. You didnt even give Spike a chance to choose the wedding or her!. Shining Armour and Cadance float down to the ground and hug each other]. Sniffling her tears up her nostrils, Celestia turned to face Shining. This was made worse with the memories of Fake Cadance sending her into the depths of the Canterlot Caves through a ring of burning green flames, followed by the former taunting Twilight about how nopony would think to look for her, considering nopony even knew the caves existed, and topping all of this was the memory of Twilight finding the real Cadance. Cried Rarity, who immediately galloped over to the aforementioned pegasus to make sure she was OK. "Are you alright?". "Hi girls." "We appreciate your service. "But what if this second echelon decides to rebel against us? Celestia had to personally go down there to restore order, not to mention speaking to Twilight about what happened.". [The Mane Six, Team Sonic, Spike and Cadance give each other a slick smile], [Earlier, they've been cornered by Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings who are under Queen Chrysalis' control], [Just then, the Chaotix appeared with a bouquet of flowers and holds it in front of them and they look at it, transfixed. His long strides quickly brought him alongside Twilight. "Shut up Spark!" Those who tried to resist were quickly incapacitated and harvested. "Thank you General." Why did you all push her aside for your own wedding and Cadence? Fluttershy: Wait a minute, I thought Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings were her bridesmaids! Shining dug deep before finally letting it roll off his tongue. I don't know a whole lot about what happened, nor do I remember, but Twi went completely insane trying to find a problem to solve so she could write to Princess Celestia about her friendship lesson. Come with me.". "Do you understand now why Twilight is so upset girls? See you all very soon. Oh right! Twilight said, pasting a happy smile on her face. Pinkie Pie: Yeah! "That's OK Rarity. [The laugh echoes as the heroes run off. It was making her apprehensive, but her overall mood was not shaken. Princess Cadance: [starts crying] Why are you doing this to me?! Said Chrysalis confidently. It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life since the day he had met Cadance. Twilight couldn't finish her words. It is because of this that I understood why she was your student. Said Alkaios. It was just a slip of the tongue. Charmy: And according to them, this is the real Mi Amore Cadenza. Indeed, it had been 1000 years since I last saw Equestria, and much has changed. "But Commander, what of the Element Bearers? "Come on, girls. The Changeling Queen took her place at the top of the table, flanked by her loyal general. That is what Shining told us when he came here, and it is the reason Velvet and I are so furious. However, they were completely harvested. Queen Chrysalis: [chuckling] What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment. Fear not. Chrysalis had her enemies right where she wanted them, and it was all thanks to Twilight that this was possible. "You're a love-stealing evil thug!". She considered herself a hypocrite for having taught Twilight all those lessons about friendship and magic, only to show nothing by herself. "I am sure you do not need an explanation as to my sadness, Captain Armor. Everypony that is, besides the bestmare, Twilight Sparkle. You have to help, [suddenly, a blue blur passes thorugh them, next thing they knew, they were wearing dresses]. I just didn't think that what I did would hurt her so badly. There was nothing that could ruin this moment, absolutely nothing. Fluttershy: I know. [Twilight uses her magic to open the scroll and read it]. Twilight Sparkle: Thank you, Princess Celestia. Replied Luna, who walked inside. But in order to keep up appearances, she smiled warmly. Shining Armor: Twily! Pinkie Pie: Am I the only one who thought those two were perfect for eachother? The difference here was that while Twilight was wronged, Spike was as much part of this disaster as Princess Luna was. Twilight teleported to the door way and shouted, Evil! "I guess I didn't sleep well last night.". Ah' have experienced many things both great and terrible, but what y'all did is the worst thing I have ever heard in my life, and that's sayin' a lot. Captain Armor disowned her, stripped her of her title as Best Mare and banned her from the wedding, her friends walked out on her, and I.I said she had a lot to think about.". Taking a deep breath, Velvet braced herself. Queen Chrysalis: Soon, my changeling army will break through. Twilight Sparkle: And if that wasn't enough, I saw her put a spell on my brother that made his eyes go all [bells jangling]! For Celestia and the Mane 5, this was very grave news. And Im pretty sure Cadance would like a new wedding dress., Why of course, darling! Rarity said, completely overshadowing whatever it was that Cadance had meant to say. That was the way things were for the time being. Princess Cadance: Oh, we're never going to save him. That's why we thought she was you! ", "Excellent. Twilight Sparkle: We will. All of her attention was focused on the stallion standing by her side. I need to know what she was doing the day of the invasion. You were my favorite filly when I was a foalsitter, all the things we did together." Replied Skoula, having taken some time to analyse the proposal. Suddenly, with authority Spike threw his hat on the ground, not caring in the slightest about whatever damage it suffered. Why hath you summoned me before you? There were no villagers though. "Please, by all means!" Cadance arrived at Golden Oaks Library, the dark purple shield still encasing it. I'm sorry if this interrogation caused you any inconvenience. If you know of any of their movements, let me know immediately! "Darnit" Rainbow grumbled in annoyance. "I.Oh Luna.I don't know why we left her. 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? As they were doing this, Commander Barbarousis had come up with an idea, one he thought would benefit the operation and the army immensely. Ignoring the inquiries of Fluttershy and Applejack, she approaches the podium and points at Cadance, crying, "She's EVIL!" Twilight Sparkle: [remorseful] I was so mean to Cadancehow could I not see how much stress she was under? At the moment, Twilight only trusts me and Spike, so it's better if I talk to her. ", "But that wasn't your niece. The power of their love, undeniable. This time, I am willingly choosing to leave because I regret leaving Twilight at all. Do you have any idea..?". Cubot: But still, didn't you say you disagree with doing something this on someone's wedding day. Weren't they supposed to be at the wedding? She made a difference in Twilight when she forgot about friendship after becoming Princess Celestias star protge and you took her love for you for granted. Twilight quizzed. Maugrim added jubilantly. Twilight Sparkle: You're right, Pinkie. Only the Creator knew how long they were going to be there, but that mattered little to Cadance. Once the locomotive had reached a complete stop, the duo disembarked, bypassing the station building before heading towards the Golden Oaks Library. His attention soon returned to the royal sisters, who were just finishing up Luna's interrogation. "I turned to the dark side for want of recognition of the beauty of the night by my subjects. Princess Luna is here!" Interestingly enough, neither Granny Smith nor Big Mac were anywhere to be seen, but that mattered little to Applejack. If that wasn't already a slash to her heart, then the knowledge that what happened then draws similar comparisons to the rehearsal would absolutely double it. Twilight will forgive you girls. She is a mare now, not a foal. He was desperate to let her know how sorry he was for what he did. Sonic: Yeah! [shakes at the thought]. Maugrim! 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. Fluttershy said before yawning mid-sentence. Unfortunately, in his haste to leave, he wasn't prepared for what came next. "I'd love to. Princess Celestia: I now pronounce you mare and colt! But if there's anything wrong darling, just talk to me, alright?".
