Once our specialist crack team in Ponyville captures the Princess of Love, we will proceed with the attack by coming out of disguise and making our way toward the castle while dispatching any resistance." "No Mom, I don't wanna go to flight school.", Rainbow groaned groggily. I won't be long." The Mane 5 were left speechless. They really had gone too far in their treatment of her. We thought they were making things up until now. Ignoring the inquiries of Fluttershy and Applejack, she approaches the podium and points at Cadance, crying, "She's EVIL!" [laughing] Nope, over here! The Mane 5 looked at each other glumly, before nodding to Cadance. Something he couldn't quite put his claw on. It is with honest hearts that we apologize for abandoning you when you needed us most. She may not be happy to see you, but if I know her, she will forgive you. Everything that happened.it's all stuck in my head and I can't get it out!". Queen Chrysalis: [chuckling] Oh, I doubt that. [Twilight gasps, tearing up a little, Team Sonic looked stunned, with Cream looking straight up horrified]. On the other hoof, the levels of disbelief grew for both Night and Velvet as they took in every little bit of Shining's story. With a look on her face that screamed "enough is enough", Celestia turned to Shining to issue orders. 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". Applejack: I say we put together a plan so we can expose Cadance. Team Sonic and the Mane Six watch in amazement. Cubot: But still, didn't you say you disagree with doing something this on someone's wedding day. Fluttershy: Yeah, both in the metaphorical and literal sense! Twilight and her friends will, [The doors open and they turn to see the changelings bring in the heroes as their prisoners]. Answered Pinkie, her voice, for once, devoid of any jubilance. Everypony in the room was standing in awe of her. Rarity's expression remained unchanged, but she decided it was best she did not dwell on it. [Shining Armour and Cadance kiss. Before Shining could make himself idle, a unicorn Royal Guard sentry ran up to him, carrying a letter with his magic. Twilight Sparkle: It's not your fault, had I been in your shoes, I would've done the same thing. Is your pride too stubborn for you to admit that the way you treated Twilight was wrong?! Celestia smiled responsively. We must catch the train". You seem to have javascript disabled, or your browser is failing to execute it properly. ", "I dunno, something must've gotten in the way while they tried to leave, but it shouldn't be long now. [shakes at the thought]. Asked Twilight Velvet. Cadance had just recently left Carousel Boutique to check up on Twilight, as she had planned previously. They had the matter well in hoof anyway, or so Applejack's pride, stubborn as ever, was trying to convince her. Additionally, I have information you may want to hear." While aggressively cornering Cadance, Twilight condemns Cadance's behavior towards her friends, the sudden disappearance of the bridesmaids, and the spell she cast on Shining Armor. "Wait here. Fluttershy: Yeah, it's like they were made for eachother. [looks at Team Sonic, Twilight's friends and Spike] Who are you guys? Spike: Twi light! "Captain Blade!" He smashes it over Spikes head, then doubles back for another pass and punches him out. Twilight was clearly still in anguish and self-pity. It's not like she didn't make that clear after we defeated Chrysalis" Added Rainbow in annoyance. Twilight Sparkle: Couldn't seem to make time to tell me he was getting married. "You may see her, young Spike, but take heed. Twilight kept her eyes focused in front of her as she walked. Tone asked flatly. "Shh, it's OK big sister." "Oh mah" Said Applejack, horrified. Somepony would probably catch us. Fluttershy: I know. However, I cannot cast it without your permission, which is why I am here. However, Cadance sensed there was something off about the shield. Second, I kinda understand why everyone and Shining got mad at Twilight; they didn't know Cadence was Chrysalis, so they probably thought she was just insulting Cadence for no reason. If you know of any of their movements, let me know immediately! Not the sort of difficult where Shining could not recall Night's exact words, but the sort of difficult where emotions and mentality were concerned. Twilight took a calming breath. Princess Celestia: No need to rush Sonic. Now turn that frown upside down! Can you say "best wedding ever"?! "Good morning girls. Sonic: [dumbfonded] Wha- Why didn't you tell us?! Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie and Rainbow watch this with warm smiles on their faces til Celestia turns to Rainbow Dash]. By the Creator, was Shining right when he guessed this wasn't over. But then came the sound of snorting mixed with snoring. Pinkie's mouth was immediately sealed shut by the force of four hooves desperate to stop her from making things worse. ", "Princess Luna, we need you to come with us. Instead, it was a case of "had". [Little did the Mane Six know, Shadow was watching them the whole time], Shadow: [whispers] You maybe right about Cadance being evil girls, but once you figure out the truth, you'll be in for a surprise. Princess Cadance: She's a changeling Auntie. "They were shocked and angered by what I told them. But what was I supposed to do? Yelled Rainbow, who proceeded to charge the shield at lightspeed. With that, Celestia was beaten. "What gives you the right to question me, AJ?" [The real Cadance runs with the Mane Six, Spike and Team Sonic in the caves], My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all, Not care for, love, and cherish him each day", Oh, Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon, Fake Cadance: mine, all mine. "At ease." Fluttershy: Yeah guys [sighs] What do we do? "Whoa nelly, would y'look at that?" "CHARGE!" ", "The point here, your Majesty" Night Light continued "is that our daughter was the key to stopping the invasion before it ever began. Baggy eyes filled with regret, a weary expression, plus her mane and tail weren't very well groomed. Cadance saw a eerie sparkle up ahead and her eyes widen, knowing that it might be a solution to their way out]. Rarity: It is gorgeous out. Try not to look suspicious. Princess Cadance: Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. The obvious coldness that the group could feel radiating off her. However, it is not just her friends who had failed Twilight. "Take them.". All three had very well-developed and clever minds, which could use the full capabilities of their respective species to full advantage. Cried Shining. You will also be in charge of drilling. 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. If you and Cadance hadn't intervened, there would have been no saving Canterlot. And now that he's starting a new family with this "Princess Mi Amore Ca-whatshername", we'll probably never see each other. Pinkie Pie: Twilight's right! Amy Rose: It's safe to assume you're working with Chrysalis, right? 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." 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. Feed! Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard, was imprisoned by Queen Chrysalis's mind control spell. "If you think I'm gonna surrender, you're dead wrong Chrysalis. Twilight Sparkle: Applejack, you will be in charge of the catering for the reception. ", "I see." Furnishing the room was Celestia's wardrobe, a study where she kept endless amounts of correspondence, particularly from Twilight and her friends, a mirror as high as the tip of the alicorn's horn and a rather extravagant grandfather clock, designed using the wood from an oak tree to create a working celebration of the sun, which crowned the head of the clock. Cadance did have a right to be angry, considering how close she was with Twilight, but this was the equivalent of sticking thorns in her body. Not that anypony noticed. Apparently, the Bearer of Magic has distanced herself from her friends, convinced they had betrayed her and left her to die by my hooves. Shinings heart sank deeper into his stomach. "Well, it's best that I start from the beginning..", Shining proceeded to tell his parents of the events of the rehearsal, doing his utmost to retain his composure. Whatever Celestia wanted her for, it certainly wasn't anything light-hearted. ", "Of course your Majesty" Blade hissed in response. Taking a moment to test the shield's strength, Applejack knocked a hoof against it. : Volume 15, Mad Mare With a Box. It was just them against the world. Eventually, the spell reached its climax as both Night and Velvet were completely enveloped by the light. 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! Shining Armor called as he ran to his little sister, levitating the note behind him. I have to be elsewhere, so I must make my stay here as brief as possible. I mean, they don't let just anypony be captain of the Royal Guard. said Twilight. Queen Chrysalis: [flies down] Miserable wretch! The battalion will be waiting in the Everfree within moments of your arrival. I have come here to undertake important business. "Oh little Twilight Sparkle, I cannot imagine how much it must hurt to have been betrayed and left for dead by those you held close to your heart, those you loved. Please calm down! Pinkie piped up. ", "But they shouldn't be here in the first place Cadance! May I come in?". What if she really was just going through a hard time? Her ability to see into ponies dreams had also refined her ability to sense their emotions as well. As for Spike, he was very much pushed to his limits here. I did it because I was left no choice. The aura around the room and the three ponies inside it shattered to pieces like a sonic boom. The heart floats by and lands on the stallion's face. "We are Twilight's friends! Amy Rose: Yeah, and deep down, I'm certain Shining Armor knows it, too. We want this to end on good terms, that is all. Also, we didn't just walk out on her. Replied Velvet, making room for Luna to enter. 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. Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings, and Twinkleshine: I want it! Pinkie Pie went back to Sugarcube Corner and her spirits were lifted by the Cakes and their children greeting her happily. After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. Discord He had witnessed Cadance and the Mane 5 enter the treehouse, and had also contacted Black Blade for permission to engage. Sorry if this is getting long, but I read some of these comments and responses (with one saying they hated everyone except Twilight), with some probably disliking the whole episode just because of ONE scene, I even heard one person say they wanted to punch the writers because of this scene. Pinkie never fought with her sisters back at the rock farm, but she knew that being shunned from the wedding would make Twilight cry. Twilight Sparkle rushed towards Princess Celestia after she had been beaten by the Changeling Queen's magic. [looks around] Oh look, there's old Egghead! Applejack: No, she was just being fake and totally insincere! Shining couldn't keep it together anymore and slowly wept. Rainbow cut in. ", "Okay Twilight." You and the others look on edge. [looks at Shining Armor] Shouldn't someone apologize for the way they acted towards their little sister though? Spike had her well and truly beaten. Just gimme a second." "We appreciate your service. In response, Dark Shroud, another of Chrysalis's officers, and one of the most experienced in her army stepped forth. Twilight Sparkle: Evil! That was the way things were for the time being. Furthermore, she did also upset the bride, my niece. ", Replied Velvet. I know you want to make things right now us, but I just need some space until I feel we could work things out. It wasn't until Twilight Sparkle noticed that Cadence wasn't who everypony else what who they thought she was. [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. "Nervous?" "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. Still, we are confident there will be no problems with the execution of the mission." To ask for her forgiveness and to get her to resume being your student, or simply to resume being your attack dog?". Applejack barked angrily. Later, they're on board The Friendship Express train to Canterlot]. Princess Cadance: Oh, we're never going to save him. 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. ", "No ma'am. Can't you find it in your heart to give them another chance? "Applejack?". Twilight Sparkle: Your spell! They were doing so well to get back on Twilight's good side but then Pinkie (unintentionally) opened her big mouth about the Elements of Harmony and now they were back to Square One. "What is the matter dear sister? "You are dismissed. And then, all of Equestria! Twilight was your own sister, your own flesh and blood! The guests look at the two of them in confusion]. GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!! I told them what happened, and welly'know.". Queen Chrysalis: [laughing] Right you are, Princess. Although taken aback, Shining settled into his role, doing his best to soothe the tormented alicorn. "Ok girls, I trust you are all aware Twilight will not be pleased to see you?" By cutting off your ties with her and brushing off her warnings, you nearly brought upon Equestrias ultimate destruction." Twilight Sparkle: Big Brother Best Friend Forever? Back in Ponyville, morning had dawned over the town, birds chirping happily to mark the occasion. Youre all responsible for this and its only fair that a truly heartfelt apology is delivered if you want her and Spike to come around. Shining Armor looked back at the orange earth pony with anger, You stay out of this Applejack! Cadance knew they had to do something and fast; the changelings and Chrysalis were still at large and if they don't get Twilight back as their best friend and the Element of Magic back in full swing, the Elements would remain inactive and Equestria would still be open to attack. None of us even looked her in the eye, nor did we show the slightest sign we still cared about her. Cookies Growled the commandant in annoyance. Sonic: You are aware he only blew up half of my world's moon, right? Said Cadance, her usual mirth waning when she saw how the girls had fared since the previous night. Twilight quizzed. That was until the nut finally cracked. With those words, Twilight melted into Fluttershy like ice over a warm fire. "Of course Princess." After a long and hard trudge through the Black Widow's Peaks, Chrysalis, along with what remained of her army and the prisoners they took from the Canterlot settlement arrived at the Changeling hive, one of the tallest peaks in the entire mountain range. If the damage was too great, they would then be assigned a temporary settlement, and led there by a designated Royal Guard soldier. But how did you escape my bridesmaids? The first step will be to attack the Hive, and therefore we must set up a home defence. What if I was wrong about the impostor? Sonic: Sorry, Twi. To make me be Celestia's attack dog again?!! " You're going to need it, because there are long and trying days ahead. Standing before Chrysalis was a tall and thick stone gate, which opened immediately to reveal an equally tall iron portcullis. I have already been punished enough for my sins.". We're going home, considering I'm not welcome here anymore." "It was I and Alkaios who came up with a separate plan of attack to deal with the princesses, your Majesty." And if I dont stop you, you are going to ruin my brothers life!. Chrysalis delayed her response, taking a moment to ponder the plan. That wasn't the reason she was here. Silver: A changeling? 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. The yellow pegasus croaked tiredly. Shadow: Hmm, I'm surprised you're only now figuring this whole thing out. Even if she had managed to find an answer, it didn't matter anyway. One could even dare say the latter was no longer her favourite princess as well. Under our leadership, there was peace throughout the land, nary a trace of conflict or discord to be found outside. Staff Finally, Luna cast the spell, and it encapsulated both Velvet and Night in two white bubbles filled with interlinking particles of magic. Her thoughts were going around in so many circles, she was getting dizzy. She looked about ready to give up "But we were so close to getting her back! "Cadance and Twilight were so close that they did everything together, even the hoofshake. Applejack: And you've got a big brother to go congratulate. They had to try again, but it was just a matter of how. But be careful. Wracked with grief, Applejack flopped onto her bed in tears, but not before hurriedly hanging up her trademark Stetson. If your levels of bitterness increase, so too will the strength of the forces, to the point where the spell cannot protect you. Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, it's been a long day, and I'm sure we're all tired. 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. "Y-yeah, sure." Cadance was about to speak, but her train of thought instantly derailed. I did not do it on purpose. [Twilight bumps into a wall which has her reflection on it. Princess Luna is here!" The only reason we supported the wedding was so we can welcome Cadence, ours and Celestias own foalsitter and niece into the Sparkle family. And if she hasn't been on her best behavior with you or your [stomps hoof, making Sonic cringe a little] friends, it's because with me being so busy, she's had to make all the decisions about the wedding! Following behind him was a sight that made the group tense up nervously. What an honor! Licenses, Support us This had left them both hurt and furious, emotions which Luna knew full well would suppurate and fester within their souls. 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. He placed a hoof on Twilights shoulder, bringing her to a stop. Meanwhile, Applejack was still trying to comprehend Twilight's revelation that their actions had put her life, as well as the lives of several thousand ponies including their own in danger. "Uhh, Pinkie, that isn't entirely the case". You must let me go with Cadance. Behind him, the doors flung open to reveal Celestia's Royal Guards, with Luna following closely behind. Applejack: [yawns] Well, I think we've all done enough for one day, shall we head back? Can you take care of things here?" Twilight walked past her friends, Shes been horrible to my friends she teleported behind Cadence, Shes obviously done something to her brides maids. She started to back the nervous Cadence down the aisles, And if that wasnt enough, I saw her cast a spell on my brother that made his eyes go all, Twilight made her eyes roll to emphasize the point she was making. As they were doing this, Commander Barbarousis had come up with an idea, one he thought would benefit the operation and the army immensely. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Princess, Luna, Princess Celestia, Shining Armor, Spike [Dragon], Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Princess Cadance's memorial float is comprised of The Elements of Harmony, hat, golden crown, golden necklace, Princess Luna's tiara, Princess Cadance's tiara and a tiny sign. It's almost she like wants to wreck the wedding. "Is there anything we can do to make them realize we truly regret our mistakes?, I dont think so, I destroyed my familys honor because of my betrayal and our naivety. Stay indoors, Spirits of Harmony. [to the others] Wedding? When Shining Armor turns to take his wedding ring, Twilight bursts into the wedding hall, proclaiming that neither she nor Shining Armor should stand next to Cadance. Concerned for his princess, Shining tried waking her up. "The operation should take 8 hours maximum, but it is currently unknown what kind of defensive capabilities the enemy possesses. Twilight looked at Spike with a frank expression. recent deaths in greenfield,ca ; david custom knives . Whatever thunder Applejack was packing was quickly silenced. While it failed to, that didn't stop him from opening his mouth. Chat! The hour is nigh. "Who's getting married? Cadence walks up to her husband and hugs him. Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. She, too, is sorry for betraying you, and she is willing to settle the matter using any method possible. She would reveal her true identity, before going horn-to-horn against Celestia. "Now, the spell should protect you from any attempt at intrusion by the Nightmare Forces. Your big brother's looking pretty good, don't you think? If the Princess had guessed correctly, this wouldn't be good news in the slightest. Taking a moment to sniffle again, Twilight laid down her sins before them. "Shut up Spark!" 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. Pinkie Pie: And besides, she fooled us, too. Cadence began to dish out fake tears, Why are you doing this to me? she began to run away while Twilight gloated. I will ensure that the Sparkle parents do find peace, or may I be damned to Tartarus for my failure.". How could you walk out on your best friend like that?! The Changelings bowed to greet their queen, before casting hard and menacing looks upon the line of prisoners that were marched inside. "Of course! "Thank you for your gratitude Sir Light." [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. Said Chrysalis confidently. While there was no conflict outside, there was conflict deep inside. Celestia told her with a smile. Cut to Minuette, who lifts her face up from lying down. It won't go away. Perhaps she had been a bit too scathing in her criticism of her sister. Twilight notices that Shining Armor's badge is a little crooked so she uses her magic to adjust it. Having settled in, Chrysalis decided to pass on some fresh orders to her officers. Don't come back until you're ready to be Twilight's friends again.". "Don't worry about me. "Thanks Hue. Applejack: Come on, now. Shining Armor: She's been completely stressed out because it's really important to her that our big day be perfect! ", "You were thinking about what had happened, weren't you?". 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. Y'all have brought shame to our family something fierce. Understood?". She made a run for the front door, until a voice stopped her. 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. Wake up! Please, you have to believe me. 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. Meanwhile, Cadance and the Mane 5 were aboard the train which followed Twilight's to Ponyville. ), (Ben Tennyson leaps in, holding a flamethrower, running offscreen with it. "I'm fine Spike. "Let me see my sister, captain." ), (Black Panther and Mordecai's Crew shoot Queen Chrysalis), (Queen Chrysalis chokes and dies as her blood spills out), (Rigby shoot Queen Chrysalis in the head. Surely one like yourself would have learned from their past mistakes. From her bedroom, the unicorn could be heard sobbing. Princess Cadance: The other Cadance is an impostor, a Changeling in disguise. The music for Equestria Girls played in place of the theme song "How can this be?Why didn't he tell me?" I need to apologize to her!, Cadence frowned, Must you go now? [Not long after, the preparations started all over again. "Then you are ready." Twilight Sparkle: [remorseful] I was so mean to Cadancehow could I not see how much stress she was under? But when it was my turn to wake..they were nowhere to be found. How he wished that Death would be so merciful. The girls did not move a muscle, stuck in a shocked trance. We've got work to do! "Princess, we have brought your sister as you requested.". Luckily, Twilight's timely appearance, with Cadance in tow, blew her cover. "Good evening Princess Luna. Granny Smith slowly stood up, Applejack watching on as she did. This left the group with little else to do other than ironing out any flaws in their apology speech. Once you finish breakfast, you had better go and fix this mess, understand?". ", "We didn't listen to her when she tried to warn us" Added Fluttershy "So we knew we had to do something to help her. Soon everypony in the castle was hard at work getting ready for the royal wedding. Behind them, the guards closed the doors to her private quarters, before following after them. That lesson was to never ignore the concerns of your friends, no matter how small. "Shininghow could you? [Team Sonic and the Mane Six run out the pavilion]. Unfortunately, it was too late. They were perfectly content to leave me to fade out of existence like I was nothing to them, and then, after risking my neck once more to save both you, them and Equestria, they expect me to put together the wedding?! Cadance hasn't been casting spells on me. They were much too busy with preparations for the royal wedding. !This deserves a round of applause!!! She would never yell at the filly like that for anything like this because not only would the little pegasus hate her for the rest of her days, it would also scar her permanently to be yelled at in such away. Suddenly, Fluttershy walked over to Twilight. My sister needs me.". ", "But why? "We're nearly there girls. Now, do me a favour and try not to cry while I'm spying on you." "On your hooves, quickly! Youre her brother! But that was the thing. I cannot explain how I believed that impostor to be my niece. Twilight's brother and Celestia also walked out on her, which left her emotionally devastated. Princess Cadance: Oh, dear. Shining walked past Cadence, No it cant! he winced at a major migraine attack. Velvet and Night looked at each other in surprise, before returning their gaze to Luna. 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. [thinks about it for a moment before running back to the castle], [The scene changes to the next morning at the wedding pavilion as Spike, Team Sonic, Princess Celestia, Shining Armor and Cadance were waiting for the Mane Six so they can practice the rehearsal]. "I hope you aren't hurt? [Twilight uses her magic to unfold the message and read it]. Prowler! My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If? Shining Armor: This was my favorite uncle's. "What's going on here!? "She asked. The army is in need of replenishment.
