Oh, the irony in the last chapter. In case any of you are wondering, there is still an OC spot available for the Descendant of Honesty, which would Applejack's relative, and if there are any backstories you would like to see, please leave your idea in the reviews, if I approve, I will contact you. The same will work if you want to use my OC, Starlight. This chapter won't be as action-packed as others, but there will be a lot of development. A LOT of development.

Chapter 12 – Resurrection

Twilight grunted as she was unceremoniously tossed into a prison cell by a changeling. As she got up to see her surroundings, she noticed that there was an anti-magic collar placed around her neck. She was in a cell in the Canterlot Prison. A single shaft of light illuminated the cell.

Twilight's mind was racing. "How did Chrysalis get here? How was she not seen by any of the guards? Is Celestia okay? Does anypony know I'm even here? What will happen to Equestria?" "Well, well, well. It's so nice to see you again Twilight." Twilight turned to the cell door to see the Changeling Queen. "How are you finding your new home?" She smirked. Twilight snarled. "Where. Is. The. Princess?" Chrysalis leaned forward. "Oh, your dear Princess is my prisoner. She will never rule the throne again. This is my kingdom now. Equestria has reached a new golden age. I will turn this kingdom into a powerful empire. And nopony can stop me." "Except me." Twilight returned, and charged her magic. Chrysalis smirked. As she was about to blow to door down with her magic, she cried out in pain. She dropped to the ground. Small lightning bolts raced around her body. "Oh, you little fool. Your magic is useless. That collar causes your magic to have a reverse affect, so you only harm yourself." Twilight struggled to get up. "I hope you choke on your own cud." She threatened. Chrysalis growled, and swung the door open. She charged in and picked up the magenta unicorn by the throat. She pinned Twilight against the wall and stood bipedal-style. She narrowed her eyes as Twilight began to gag. "You may just be a petty subject, but I might have some use for your… particular talent." Chrysalis narrowed her eyes tighter, and her eyes and horn began to glow.

Twilight's eyes shot open in horror. A mass of semi-transparent greenish smoke began to flow out of her horn. The smoke began to could Twilight's vision, and as she tried to breath, she began to choke on the smog. She could feel it seeping into her mind.

Chrysalis loosened her hold on the unicorn and she dropped to the ground, holding her throat and struggling feebly. Twilight's body began to convulse as she continued trying to breath for a few moments. Chrysalis just stared at the suffering pony. Twilight could hear Chrysalis's voice in her head. "There is no point in resisting. Your… mind… is… MINE!"

Twilight screamed out in pain as the smoke seeped further into her mind. Chrysalis' horn glowed brighter as the smoke turned a darker shade of green. Twilight screamed louder as the spell finished. Chrysalis held the spell a few moments longer to make sure it had worked. The smoke dissipated as Twilight's screaming ceased. Twilight's body shuddered for a moment. As she stood up shakily, Chrysalis saw that Twilight's irises had turned green. As Twilight looked at the queen, she slowly bowed. "Rise, Twilight Sparkle." Twilight stood up and faced the Changeling Queen. "Tell me, Twilight, what is your one desire?" Twilight paused for a moment before answering. "My one desire… is to serve the Queen." As she finished, she bowed again. "Excellent." Chrysalis grinned as her new minion bowed before her.

Rainbow Dash swallowed as she flew next to Ace. "Are… are you sure we should tell him?" Ace glanced at his spouse. "Twilight is his aunt, Dashie. He has the right to know." Ace glanced down below him. "It looks like we're here." He dove down and flapped his wings as he descended. He landed, Rainbow Dash landed next to him. Ace knocked on the door and waited for somepony to open it. He was met with a familiar face as Clockwork opened the door. "Ace! Rainbow Dash! How nice to see the both of you! Come on in!" The two pegasi stepped in. Clockwork could tell something wasn't right. "Hey, are you two okay?" Ace shook his head before replying. "Is Starlight around?" "I'm here, Mr. Ace!" Starlight answered, coming out from one of the other rooms. "Have a seat, kid; we've got something to tell you."

Tears began to flow from Starlight's eyes as Ace and Rainbow Dash told him what had transpired over the past few hours. "She… she was captured?" Ace nodded his head slowly. "And the Princess was turned to stone. Canterlot has fallen, and Chrysalis has created a 'New Changeling Empire'." Clockwork nodded before asking. "But what about Princess Luna?"

"I have yet to be defeated." A voice rang out from the room. All of the ponies in the room looked around to look for the speaker. "Over here." There was a shimmer of light as Luna, ruler of the night, stepped out in front of them. All the other ponies in the room briefly bowed as Ace asked, "Princess Luna, if I may ask how you were not captured by the changelings?" Luna smirked. "A simple question receives a simple answer. As soon as I felt my sister turned to stone, I fled here until it was safe to expose myself." Luna turned to Clockwork, "Mr. Clockwork, if I do not intrude, may I stay here until the time is right for my return?" Clockwork nodded, "Of course, your majesty, I would be graced if you stayed here, and I'm sure Twilight would feel the same way." "Thank you, now, I must choose a form to retain until that time." Luna's horn flashed, and the ruler of the night was enveloped in a mystic glow. As the light dissipated, a figure stood in place of Luna. She stood at the size of an average pony. Her coat was a purple color, and her mane no longer flowed like it originally did, instead, it was a dark cyan color and was styled like Rainbow Dash's but without the rainbow coloration. Her tail was in a style like Twilight's, but it was shorter and her eyes were a light blue. She still had retained her horn, but her wings had disappeared. Her original cutie mark had been replaced by a six-pointed white star. All the ponies stared at the figure in Luna's place. "Princess Luna?" Ace asked, "Please," Luna interrupted. "Call me 'Starshine'." She closed her eyes. "And now, it is time for a day to end." Luna closed her eyes as she began to lower the sun and raise the moon.

"You can still do that? But what about the sun in the morning? Can you raise it?" Rainbow Dash asked. Starshine nodded "My power has multiplied since my return. My strength is almost equal to that of my sister's. But it would be best if I kept it concealed. If anypony saw me in the act, it would undoubtedly draw unwanted attention." Starlight's gaze drifted to Starlight. He had his head down and was sniffling. Starshine walked over towards the filly and placed a hoof on his shoulder. He looked up and wiped his muzzle with his hoof. "Twilight Sparkle will be fine. She is the most talented unicorn I have ever had the honor of meeting. Okay?" Starshine give him a light shake. Starlight nodded "Okay." Starshine removed her hoof. "In the morning, it will begin your training. Now, go get in bed. You have a full day tomorrow." Starlight slowly made his way to the upper bedroom.

"Are you sure he's ready Luna- I mean, Starshine? I don't know much about your unicorn magic-control stuff, but he's pretty young." Ace asked when Starlight was gone. "Starlight is ready. Twilight was going to train him, but then there was this… interruption. So I must take it upon myself to train him." Starshine closed her eyes for a moment. "Ace, Rainbow Dash. There is something I need to tell you." Ace and Rainbow Dash looked at her intently. "Your son, Blazing Dawn, is a very important pony." "What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Blazing Dawn, along with Starlight, is a very important part of an ancient prophecy that speaks of six ponies, the relatives of the wielders of the elements of harmony, who are going to banish a great evil. My sister and I both believe that Chrysalis is this great evil, and Blazing Dawn and Starlight, along with four other ponies, will save Equestria." Ace and Rainbow were speechless as Starshine finished. "Our… son? Is a part of a prophecy?" Ace asked. "Well," Rainbow responded, "It's no different than me being a part of defeating Nightmare Moon." Rainbow glanced at Starshine and rubbed the back of her neck. "Uh… Sorry." Starshine gave Rainbow a brief stare. "Rainbow Dash is right, Blue Bass. This is little different." "Yeah," Rainbow interjected. "And if Blazing Dawn is anything like me, he'll beat Chrysalis in ten seconds flat!" "Well, Starshine," Ace said "Thank you for letting us know about this development. It was nice seeing you again." Starshine nodded. "May the blessings of the Solar Sisters go with you." Starshine walked up to the balcony as Ace and Rainbow Dash left. She gazed out at the stars and sat down. She shut her eyes. "Celestia, I promise you, I will train Starlight to become as powerful as his predecessors. He and the other Descendants will banish this great evil. I swear this upon my status as a member of the Royal Alicorn family. I shall not fail you again, sister."

Starlight crawled into Twilight's bed. He gazed out through the window at the moon. "Please be safe Aunt Twilight." His eyes fluttered closed as he yawned. He began to snore softly as he fell asleep.

Chrysalis looked over the city as she saw the sun begin to descend, and the moon began to rise. "Luna... Although you do not realize it, you are but a pawn in a larger game." She turned to look at the green-eyed Twilight. "Come, my subject, I need your help with something." Twilight had been freed under Chrysalis' orders, and the collar had been removed from her neck. Twilight placed an arm across her chest. "Your wish is my command." "Follow me. We are visiting an old friend." Chrysalis lead the way to a statue of a familiar Draconequus. Chrysalis spoke slowly. "Discord. Your time has returned. You will spread chaos throughout the New Empire upon those who wish to break us. You will be my greatest asset. For Celestia has taken your place in a stone prison! You will be resurrected!" Chrysalis fired a laser through her horn, and it struck the center of the statue, and it began to shatter. Twilight also charged her horn, but the magic glow that enveloped her horn was now green. It also struck the statue, the combined power of the two raised the statue and it was enveloped in an unearthly green glow. Pieces of stone began to crumble from the statue and crashed onto the ground. A laugh emitted from the statue. Twilight and Chrysalis finished the spell and the light disappeared. Floating in the air was the lord of chaos, Discord. Discord landed on the ground and grinned. "Oh, it's so nice to be back! I had unfinished chaos to attend to!" "There will be time for that, old friend, but now; there is a glorious new kingdom to rule!" Chrysalis said, drawing Discord's attention. "I see you have a new minion, too! It's so nice to see her again!" Discord leaned close to Twilight's face, waiting for a response. A few seconds later he frowned. "What's her deal?" he asked and pointed a thumb at Twilight. "A mind control spell. She is completely under my control." Chrysalis began to walk into the large castle, followed by Twilight. "But come, Discord, we have a new kingdom to attend to." Discord followed the Queen and her minion into the castle, as the moon's glow was cut off by a cloud, darkening everything.

Wow… It just keeps getting better, doesn't it? Arguably the two greatest villains in Equestrian history are ruling the empire. Twilight is under a mind-control spell, Luna has taken refuge, and the lord of chaos has returned! And Starshine (Refugee Luna) can be used as an OC. If you have any questions, please leave them in the reviews.
