Ch. 4: Captured

"Well, what do we do now?" Storm Streak asked.

"Queen Chrysalis will be on your trail. Legend has it, no two ponies with the same cutie mark lives today, because of her…" Princess Luna told them.

Rainbow Dash trembled at Luna's short explanation and glanced over to Princess Celestia.

"Oh, stop scaring them, Luna! They are still living, are they not? Queen Chrysalis wouldn't dare lay a hoof on my subjects, remember what happened last time when she did? She and her changelings were tossed out of Canterlot, to the edges of Equestria where they probably starved to death by now," Princess Celestia scolded her sister.

"Umm… I think we'll be going now," Rainbow Dash nodded politely.

"Goodbye girls!" Princess Celestia waved.

Storm Streak and Rainbow Dash sped through the sky until Wonderbolts Academy was in sight again.

"All right! Now be careful, we don't wanna get cau-!" Storm Streak screamed, feeling herself plummeting down towards the ground.

"Help!" Rainbow Dash cried, dropping out of the sky like a skydiver.

Suddenly, everything went black.

"Ah, welcome!" the same eery voice shouted.

"My, my. I never expected one of the wielders of the Elements of Harmony and a fellow enemy of mine to be a double." Queen Chrysalis laughed evilly.

Rainbow Dash fluttered her eyes open and struggled to get free from the sticky green slime holding her down.

"You, just like many of my other prisoners, will be tormented here for one full day and be released, to find your destinies separated and your sisterhood gone. Amnesia will fill your lives and misery will rule. If you fail to obey, you will be forced to work- forever!" Queen Chrysalis cackled, jabbing a tattered hoof at a changeling servant, or at least, it looked like one.

"Chrysalia, where is the memory loss poison?" Queen Chrysalis boomed.

The servant looked up to reveal glassy, unnatural gray eyes and once beautifully lustrous, tangled and an ugly lavender mane.

"I-I…" Chrysalia stuttered.

"Well?" Queen Chrysalis demanded.

Rainbow Dash glanced over to Storm Streak and gave her a sad and hopeless look.

"Arghh!" Chrysalia shouted, producing power from her horn.

The green slime immediately let go of Rainbow Dash and Storm Streak and disappeared.

"Go!" Chrysalia screamed, pinned down by her sister.

"Remember what happened last time you tried to go against me? Too bad you won't live to see the results!" Queen Chrysalis giggled cruelly.

By now, Rainbow Dash had reached the exit of the cave, but Storm Streak was no where in sight.

"Streak!" Rainbow Dash cried.

Storm Streak was held against the cave's walls by five changelings and her cutie mark was beginning to fade rapidly.

"Rain…bow…Dash…run…" she mumbled weakly.

Queen Chrysalis approached Storm Streak, ignoring Rainbow Dash, and held up a vial of deep orange liquid.

"This, will change your destinies and cutie marks, plus erase your entire memories of each other! Any last words, daughter of Rain Water and Snowflake?" Queen Chrysalis grinned at Storm Streak.

And with that, she poured the liquid onto Storm Streak's cutie mark.

"No!" Rainbow Dash cried, lunging towards Storm Streak.

She pounced onto Queen Chrysalis, punching and kicking at her.

"That won't work. You see, my pain receptors have been disabled ever since our last incident with one another," Queen Chrysalis laughed.

"And some for you!" the scratchy, unclear voice of a changeling chuckled evilly at Rainbow Dash.

"Gah!" she cried, dodging him.

She was about to race out of the cave, when her vision blurred and she fainted.
