Author's note: Here's chapter 13. Chapter 14 will be the final chapter, just to let you know. Eeyup, this story is almost over. This chapter was edited by Lord Izanagi.

I don't own My Little Pony or any of its characters.

The sky became red after Chrysalis had absorbed the Crystal Heart's magic and destroyed it. The ponies who were close to the castle galloped away, and the ponies inside the houses that were near the castle began to get out of their dwellings and gallop far from the castle.

"Now, let's start with you, 'good' Sombra, or whatever you are." Chrysalis faced Sombra and charged her horn with magic.

Before Chrysalis could do anything, a large beam shot from beneath her, from under the ground, blasting her upwards. Celestia flew out of the hole that was made by the beam, teleported above Chrysalis, and slammed her forelegs on her, sending her downwards and throwing her in whatever place under the ground Celestia had been imprisoned inside.

Celestia flew abnormally and crash landed beside Sombra. She had blood stains on her wings, chest and face. She raised her left wing, revealing a big wound. She was bleeding badly.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed in panic.

"Sister!" Luna gasped.

"Celestia! Talk to me!" Sombra said.

Celestia lifted her head weakly to talk, her voice cracking in pain. "I...there's no time to explain. I exhausted myself completely with my last attack on Chrysalis. I can only do this now." Celestia fired a beam at the glue on Twilight's hooves, freeing her. "To defeat Chrysalis, we must hit her like a single force...and the only way to do that...is if you take my magic, Twilight."

"What?! But..."

"My body is too weak to use my magic to fight now, but you can use my magic."

"Take my magic, too, Twilight," Luna said.

"Me too," Cadance added.

"No, Cadance. You...are pregnant. Draining your magic is dangerous," Celestia said.

Loud rumbling sounds began to rise from the hole that Chrysalis had been thrown inside.

"Then take my magic, Twilight," Sunset said.

"Me too," Sombra said. "That way, you won't need Cadance's magic."

"Shining Armor, you'll need to keep your magic, because...we need you and Cadance to make a magic shield...to protect us from the effects of the battle," Celestia said.

"Got it," Shining Armor agreed.

"But, Princess Celestia, you're injured so badly. If I take your magic, you may bleed to death!" Twilight objected.

"There's no time for that discussion! Come on, Luna!" Celestia said, as she, Luna, Sunset and Sombra charged their horns and released a large magic stream at Twilight, enveloping her in a big ball of magic. A few seconds later, the ball of magic faded into Twilight's horn, and Celestia, Luna, Sunset and Sombra lost their Cutie Marks.

Finally, Chrysalis emerged from the hole, glancing at the ones who lost their Cutie Marks. "I guess I missed something important. But dear Celestia, I have to admit that you impressed me! I thought that you would have bled to death by now, but you have proven that love is stronger than I thought."

"You want something strong?!" Twilight asked sarcastically, trotting from under the castle's base. "Try this!" She fired a big blast at Chrysalis, blasting her several meters away.

Chrysalis recovered, but was stunned by what had just happened. "I think I have an idea about what I missed." She glanced at Celestia, seeing her laying on the ground, bleeding helplessly. "And I think your beloved mentor doesn't have a lot of time left for her."

Twilight gritted her teeth in anger. She fired a massive, continuous beam at Chrysalis, which she tried to counter with a magic shield. The beam enveloped Chrysalis and exploded immediately, creating a large cloud of dust.

Chrysalis flew out of the dust and glided down at Twilight, but Twilight fired another beam at her, stopping her midair. Chrysalis teleported in front of Twilight, escaping the beam. She then grabbed Twilight magically, and launched her at one of the buildings.

Twilight broke through the wall and landed inside the house, but luckily, the house was empty. She stood up and flew upwards, then glided down at Chrysalis.

Chrysalis fired a large beam, and Twilight responded with a beam of her own. The two beams met midway between them and exploded forcefully, blocking Chrysalis' vision of Twilight for a moment.

Twilight took advantage of the situation, teleported above Chrysalis, and levitated her magically. She flew with her and slammed her at the Crystal Castle's wall, then slid her upwards across the castle's length, destroying the balcony in the process, and finally, slammed her at the ground, creating a small hole. Twilight then glided towards Chrysalis and stamped her forelegs at her, burying her alive.

Immediately, a green beam shot from under Twilight, launching her in the air, then Chrysalis flew upwards and hit Twilight with a big blast. When she reached Twilight, she punched her, sending her into a building.

Twilight crashed landed into the building's roof, destroying a big portion of it. She quickly recoiled and flew towards Chrysalis, firing several beams.

Chrysalis dodged the beams, firing beams of her own, but she finally received a hit, causing her to lose control of her flight.

Twilight quickly reached her and slammed her forelegs at her, sending her into the ground like a comet. She backed her attack with a large beam, hitting Chrysalis with a big explosion.

Chrysalis flew out of the explosion, dodging beams from Twilight. She flew to Twilight's altitude and the two of them began to fire beams at each other, until Twilight was blasted into the Crystal Castle's wall.

Twilight recoiled quickly and dashed at Chrysalis, who fired a beam. Twilight dodged the beam and punched Chrysalis in the stomach, pushing her away. Then, the two of them continued to fire beams at each other once more.

"Celestia, please, hold on," Sombra said.

Celestia coughed a few drops of blood. "I'm...I'm sorry, Sombra." She began to cough again.

"No! Stay strong. Twilight will make it. You will live, and we will get married."

Celestia smiled. "Sombra...no matter what happens...take care of Equestria."

"Don't talk like that!"

"Take care...of Equestria."

"NO! We will take care of Equestria, together!"

Chrysalis managed to hit Twilight with a powerful blast, stunning her. She grabbed her by her hind leg, dashed with her towards the ground, then slammed her on the ground forcefully. She flew again, with Twilight in her magic grasp, then launched her into the ground once again. Twilight slid several meters across the ground, digging into it in the process. Chrysalis continued her attack by firing a thick, continuous beam at Twilight.

Twilight shielded herself with a magic sphere, but the beam was too powerful. She felt she would give in at any moment. She glanced at Celestia, and saw her closing her eyes, laying on the ground, motionless.

No. Twilight squeezed her eyes shut, a stray tear trickling on her cheek. No! When she opened her eyes, they were nothing but two, white lights. "NO!" The magic sphere around Twilight blew up, producing a massive, magic shock wave.

Chrysalis' beam gave away to the shock wave, and she was hit by it and fell back in the air. The shock wave was so strong it destroyed the glass in the windows of many buildings nearby.

Twilight teleported above Chrysalis, her horn and right foreleg glowing with magic, and punched Chrysalis, sending her into the ground like a blast. Chrysalis' impact with the ground was too powerful and it rocked the buildings nearby. Twilight teleported beside Chrysalis, grabbed her, then slammed her into the ground twice.

"When you use love to hurt others, then you don't deserve it!" Twilight exclaimed, before she launched the Queen of the Changelings into the air. Twilight flew up to Chryaslis' altitude, her horn blazing bindingly, and fired a massive, continuous beam that enveloped Chrysalis and prevented her from moving or doing anything.

"What...What are you doing?!" Chrysalis screamed in agony.

"I'm taking what you don't deserve!" Twilight replied.

Very soon, a stream of blue glow began to flow out of Chrysalis, forming a massive blue ball of magic.

"NO! You can't do this!" Chrysalis said, struggling to break free, but to no avail.

"Looks like I can," Twilight said. "Now, I hope you don't mind cold weather." Twilight used her beam to blast Chrysalis out of the Empire and into the Crystal Mountains. Then, Twilight grabbed the blue ball with her magic and fired it at the remains of the Crystal Heart.

The shattered pieces began to come together and form the Crystal Heart again, absorbing the blue ball of magic. The Crystal Heart floated until it was back in its place, spun quickly, then produced a burst of blue glow that spread all across the Crystal Empire. The burst of blue glow destroyed the green substance and freed Sunset, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, and Sombra. The sky turned back to normal, and a beautiful aurora emitted from the Crystal Castle's top.

Twilight quickly flew down and landed beside the others. Four balls of magic emitted from her. Sunset absorbed a green ball, Sombra an orange ball, Luna a blue ball, and finally, a golden ball of magic was absorbed by Celestia, but she still didn't move or open her eyes.

"Princess Celestia! Please, wake up," Twilight pleaded, sitting beside Celestia.

"Celestia." Sombra placed his motionless marefriend between his forelegs. "Please."

There was no response.

Sombra wrapped his hooves around Celestia and buried his face in her shoulder, letting his tears trail and wet his lover's fur.

"Oh...come on! Why everypony has to cry just because the heroine of the story decided to pass out for a minute?!" said Celestia.

Sombra widened her eyes, broke the hug and stared at Celestia.

"In case you're still wondering, yes, I'm still alive."

"You little...!" Sombra smiled and took Celestia in a tight embrace.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry." Sombra loosened the embrace.

"I think we should go to the hospital, before I pass out again!" Celestia said.

"Sure!" Sombra placed Celestia on his back.

"Here, let me help you," Luna said, placing Celestia across her and Sombra's back, Celestia's head being at Sombra's side. Then, everyone headed towards the closest hospital.

"Well done, Twilight," Celestia said. "You saved us...again."

"I would not have been able to do anything had it not been for you," Twilight replied. "You freed me."

"I think it's time for you, Auntie, to realize that you're a hero just as much as Twilight," Cadance said.

Celestia chuckled. "Didn't you hear me describe myself as the heroine of the story?!"

Everyone laughed.

"Maybe you truly are, Sister," Luna said.

"Now, look at all those damages," Sunset said to Twilight.

"Yeah. I'm sure the wedding will have to be pushed back about two weeks," Twilight replied.

"I'll be glad to help."

"Thank you, Sunset."

Sunset glanced at the Crystal Mountains. "I wonder what will happen to Chrysalis."

"I hope that one day, she'll realize the wrongness of her ways."

"I love you, Sombra," Celestia said quietly. "Your love is what gave me the strength to get out of the hole."

"Once again, you saved me, Celestia," Sombra replied. "I have to save you at least once!"

"You've already saved me. You saved me from the loneliness I had suffered without you."

Sombra smiled widely. "That's only one time. You saved me twice."

"Well, get me to the hospital as fast as you can and I will consider us even!"

"You got it!" Sombra picked up the pace, forcing Luna to do the same.

In the Crystal Mountains

The Amarok, the gigantic wolf, sat down with Chrysalis in his right claw. He was brushing her mane with a hairbrush made of ice.

"Hahaha! Nice pony!" the Amarok said, laughing stupidly.

Chrysalis was staring at the horizon with an unamused look. "Damn you, Twilight! Couldn't you throw me in Tartarus or something?!"
