My Little Pony: The Power of True Love and True Friendship
Chapter 14
The Wedding/Neo's Plan
The next morning was the day of the big wedding, Twilight woke up in a dark room surrounded by dark crystals, she kept wondering where she was, but she was so angry, she knew that Princess Cadence is who trapped her in this room, when she finds Princess Cadence, she was gonna fight her. Twilight started using her magic to break some of the crystals, she knew her brother was in trouble and she had to stop Cadence from marrying him.
Then Twilight blasted down a wall and saw Princess Cadence, except she was really dirty and her mane was messed up, Cadence saw Twilight, Twilight glared at her, Cadence put her hooves and said, "No wait!" Twilight jumped on Cadence, feeling like attacking her, Cadence said, "Please don't hurt me, Twilight, it's me, please, you have to believe me, I've been imprisoned like you, the Cadance who brought you down here was an imposter." Twilight said, "Likely story." Not believing her, then Cadence did the greeting that she and Twilight used to do back when she foalsitted her, "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake." That's when Twilight realized she was telling the truth, the other Cadence never did that, Twilight said, "You remember me." And she gave Cadence a hug, as they hugged, Cadence said, "Of course I do, how could I forget the filly I love to sit for the most?"
Then Twilight said, "But Cadence, what's going on, who is that other Cadence?" Cadence said, "She's a changeling, she takes the form of somepony you love and feeds on their love energy." Twilight said, "And she's feeding off the love energy of my brother, he's in trouble, we've got to stop her." Cadence said, "But how, nopony knows we're down here." Then Twilight smiled and said, "Neo, he's our only hope." Cadence said, "Who?" Twilight said, "Neo, he's my friend." Cadence thought for a second, but then she remembered the name, she said, "Is he that human, the human who has been living among us ponies and has saved Equestria from destruction in the past?" Twilight said, "Yes, that's him." Cadence said, "Oh my, maybe we can be saved after all, but what can he do?" Twilight said, "Cadence, my friend Neo is very smart, he knows deep down in his heart that the other Cadence is not you, I told him all about you and what a wonderful pony you are, and the other Cadence has been rude, mean, unpleasant and downright nasty to everypony, including him, he knows that other Cadence is not you, and I know he has a plan to stop her." Cadence felt happy, she said, "Oh, I hope you're right, he sounds like a very nice human, if we do succeed, I hope I get to meet him." Twilight said, "Don't worry, I know that Neo will save us, and when you meet him, you'll love him." Cadence said, "We need to try to find a way out of here, even if this Neo does try to stop the other Cadence, he might need our help." Twilight didn't want to wait another minute, she said, "Let's get out of here, we've got a wedding to stop." Then Twilight and Cadence went to find a way out of the cave.
Meanwhile, the other Cadence was getting ready for the wedding, Neo was outside of her room, spying on her, Neo took out an audio tape recorder and he began taping her voice. Cadence talked about how her plan was going to be perfect and how she has fooled everypony (or so she thinks), she also talked about how she doesn't really love Shining Armor and she still wanted him all for herself. Neo taped everything she was saying and she even laughed an evil laugh, then Neo stopped recording and he ran off so she wouldn't see him. Neo thought he finally had enough evidence to prove that the Cadence that Shining Armor is about to marry is not the real Cadence.
Neo put on his Gothic clothes, but no makeup, because he knew how the wedding was going to go, everypony was gathering around in the dance hall where they would have the wedding ceremony. As Neo walked to the hallway to the dance hall, Neo had an electronic wristband on his wrist, he pushed a button on it as if he was alerting somepony. Very soon, Neo was going to make his move and confront Cadence, he wasn't gonna have time to look for Twilight, the only pony who might be of help to him now was Princess Luna, and he was hoping that Princess Luna would back him up when he makes his move, so for now he was on his own.
Meanwhile, down in the cave under the castle, Twilight and the real Cadence were trying to get out of the cave, Cadence was so worried that they might not find a way out of the cave or get out in time to stop the wedding. Twilight saw a way out of the cave, they ran over to it, but when they got there, there were 3 ponies guarding the exit, they were the bridesmaids that the other Cadence has supposedly got rid of. Their eyes were glowing and they said to Twilight and Cadence, "You're not going anywhere." They appeared to be hypnotized, but they weren't about to let Twilight and Cadence leave the cave.
Suddenly, something hit the bridesmaids, electrocuting them, they fell to the ground and appeared to be unconscious, they wondered what happened. Then a human approached them, it was a man wearing a blue and white shirt, black pants, a cap on his head and a badge on his shirt, he said to them, "Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadence?" Twilight said, "Yes, who are you?" Cadence said, "This isn't Neo?" Twilight said, "No, I've never seen him before." the man said, "My name is Striker, I work for Neo Anderson, he ordered me to find you and rescue you, would you follow me?" Even though they didn't know who this human was, they felt that they had to follow him, but first, Twilight said, "What did you do to the bridesmaids?" Striker said, "I tazed them, don't worry, they're only stunned, they''re gonna be alright, please follow me, I have to get you and Cadence to the dance hall immediately to stop the wedding." So Twilight and Cadence followed Striker out of the cave and they were back inside the castle, they raced as fast as the could to the dance hall. Twilight and Cadence wanted some more answers, but Striker said there was no time to explain, he had to get them to the dance hall and help Neo stop the wedding and prove to everypony that the other Cadence that Shining Armor is about to marry is not the real Cadence.
In the dance hall, the ceremony was beginning, the other Cadence entered the room and stood next to Shining Armor, Neo was standing a few feet away from Cadence and he had to be ready to make his move any second. Then Princess Celestia begun the ceremony and said, "Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor." Neo waited a few more seconds before he made his move, he allowed the bride and groom to say their I do's. Then Princess Celestia said, "Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you..." But before she could finish, Neo quickly pulled out a gun, pointed it at Cadence and shouted, "FREEZE!" Everypony gasped, then 3 other human suddenly appeared, they were also pointing guns at Cadence, (the humans were Kung Lao, Scorpion and Liu Kang). Then Neo said to Cadence, "FREEZE, DON'T MOVE, FBI, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!"
