As the crowd muttered and whispered the same thought was going threw their minds 'What is the Princesses doing.' Then a young stallion which many ponies recognized as Shining Armor took the stage before the crowd. The captain took a log breathe and focused his attention on the citizens of Canterlot.
"Citizens of Canterlot;" began Shining Armor "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna will be taking a leave of absents." many of the citizens gasped and began to mutter upmost themselves.
"Please! Everypony they are only going to be gone for two weeks. They are on a mission in order to protect Equestia, and they will be coming back." stated Shining Armor.
This made some of the ponies relax until "What about the Prince? Will Prince Ashton betaking over in their absents?" shouted a pony and the crowd agreed and demanded to know where the prince was.
Shining Armor was getting a little nerves by the crowd' demands.
He cleared his throat "For Prince Ashton, he was give a task to discuss a trade route with the country of Great Griffinia. He will also be away for two weeks."
The crowd had calmed down and started to go about their business. Shining Armor wiped the sweat from his brow and went back to his duties. When he knew that he was along he took his helmet off and tried to push his worry aside for the moment.
"Twilight please be careful." he said out-loud as he looked over Equestria. He turned and went back to work.
We join our heroines as they marched threw the wilderness. Celestia was wearing a golden armor; a golden helmet with white pearls and red rubies, the chest-plate was snugged nicely on her chest, with a white scarf to protect her neck from itching, and shiny steel boots that went up passed her knee. She also carried a spear of gold and ruby. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Flutterfly, and Applejack followed close behind her, each of them wearing their element of harmony. Lucario was close behind carrying food and supplies for their journey, but more importantly Ash's crown and the broken element of courage. And bringing up the rear was Luna, for she also wore battle armor; a steel helmet painted midnight blue to match her mane, a chest-plate of silver and sapphire with a royal blue scarf around her neck, her boots were also steel that went up to her knees. Her weapon of choice was a broad sword made of titanium and crested with many blue gems.
They had hiked threw the deep woods and marshes until it was time to lower the sun for that day. They decided to make camp for the night. As the rest of the group help get camp ready Twilight noticed Celestia was heading away from the campsite. A little worried she followed her teacher. Celestia came to a small hill and sat down. She turned her gaze up to the night sky and couldn't help but let a few tears fall from her eyes.
"Princess Celestia" came a voice. She turned to see Twilight coming out of the brush.
"Oh my faithful student" she smile trying to hide her tears but her student knew otherwise
"What is the matter Princess?" asked Twilight. Celestia's eyes became to water again.
"How can bare it Twilight" she started to cry and tears flowed from her eyes "I can not bare the pain of losing another sibling. After I had to banished Luna to the moon, I cried for weeks. I couldn't eat or sleep. And I don't know what will happen to Ash or if I can handle the lose again."
Twilight was astonished to see her teacher and best friend look so distort. She came and held the princess in a tight hug which surprised by this action.
"I am afraid too. I am afraid that I will loose him but I can feel in my heart that he is alright. And he gave me courage to to ack for help back in the Crystal Empire. So I must have courage that we can save him. That's what Ash would have wanted." explained Twilight as she smile to the princess.
Celestia was impressed by Twilight's words, she smiled and rose to her hooves and smiled back
"You are right Twilight and I also must remember that I'm your teacher, I am still learning." she sighed in relief. And they went back to the camp and there friends.
Unknown location.
The Queen of the changelings was resting in her chamber. Then came a rapping at her door. "Enter" she groaned. A changeling solider came into the chamber and whispered in her ear. "He is ready"
Queen Chrysalis entered the room where Ash was still in his cocoon. The cocoon had grown somewhat. She walked up to the cocoon and whispered to it.
"Oh my. You have become very strong." But there was no response. "I want to see my new son. Open it." she commanded.
The changelings gathered round and pulled the cocoon apart. As the cocoon opened steam released form it. The changeling backed up and looked concerned, but the Queen stayed where she was. Ash rose from the cocoon and felt the taste of air. Ash no longer looked like his old self. His coat was gray and covered in the slime of the cocoon. His mane was still black but it stood like flames, and his wings looked as if they hadn't flown in years and a thin coat of insect wings covered them. But his eyes and turned red and scowled slightly.
"You look stunning" she said and walked up to his face. The Queen nuzzled him and faced him again.
"I you follow my orders to the letter you might become my king" she giggled and laughed loudly and left. Unknown to her or any of the changelings Ash looked at a near by mirror and looked at himself. A single tear slow fell from his eye and a flash of blue appeared in his red eyes.
"Forgive me" was all he said.
Next time the battle of the Changelings hideaway.
