Final Chapter: A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2
Previously on MLP FiM: The Hero of Equestria. . .
The Mane 7 were invited to a wedding in Canterlot that involved Twilight's brother, Shining Armor and her old foalsitter, Princess Cadance. As each of the other mares decide to go and explore their roles in the wedding, (Y/N) and Twilight reunite with Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, however Cadance's demeanor was very new and sinister and could definitely tell that something was up. They try to let their friends know about the situation, but they were too stubborn to realize that Cadance's demanding attitude was not normal. At the rehearsal of the wedding, Twilight confronts Princess Cadance and suggests to everypony that she was evil. Nopony would listen, but (Y/N) and with a bit of extreme measures, he was able to convince his friends that Twilight wouldn't be wrong about some information that she finds serious and they were able to continue as great friends. (Y/N) goes back to find Twilight and he soon finds that Cadance has trapped her beneath the surface. He tries to recklessly duel it out with Cadance, but he ends up joining Twilight instead. Have our heroes really lost their chances at saving Canterlot and it's people? Were about to find out here.
Now back to where we left off. . .
(Y/N) is seen falling down into a dark and spooky place underneath the palace as he continues to scream.
(Y/N): NOOOOO!
(Y/N) then lands on the ground flat on his stomach and he instantly get's up and looks around.
(Y/N): Where the heck am I?
(Y/N) looks around as it was pitch black and he couldn't see even a speck of dust. He then glows his horn to make it illuminate and looks around worriedly for Twilight.
(Y/N): Twilight. . .? Twilight! Where are you?!
?: (Echo) Hello? Is anyone there?
(Y/N) heard a voice as he turned and ran towards it to see where it was coming from. Eventually he got far enough in the caves that he ran into somepony which knocked both of them down on their haunches.
(Y/N) shakes his head to regain his composure and the pony that he sees in front of him made him gasp in relief as it was none other than Twilight Sparkle who was also surprised to see (Y/N).
(Y/N): Twilight!
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N)!
Both of them got smiles on their faces as they run up to hug each other in huge relief.
(Y/N): I'm so glad that you're okay.
Twilight Sparkle: Me too. I'm just glad that I'm not alone down here.
(Y/N): Speaking of which, where is here?
Twilight Sparkle: Beats me.
They both then walk ahead side by side.
Twilight Sparkle: I don't know where she sent us, but it's definitely not someplace good.
A few more steps bring her to a head-on collision with her own reflection on a mirror-like wall. (Y/N) sees his own reflection on the wall as well. From somewhere very far off, they could just catch the sound of crazed female laughter as (Y/N) got a serious look and got in front of Twilight.
(Y/N): Twilight, get behind me and stay tight.
Twilight does so as (Y/N) is watching slowly for any sudden movement in the strange cave that were in. Crystal formations jut from the walls and floor, multiplying their images time and time again.
Twilight Sparkle: Just where are we?
The reflections disappear and are all replaced by green-tinted copies of Cadence?'s narrowed eye. Twilight backs up from that while (Y/N) glares at the figure that they were seeing.
Princess Cadance?: The caves beneath Canterlot, once home to greedy unicorns who wanted to claim the gems that could be found inside. And now, your prison.
(Y/N): Prison?! Let us out of here right now!
The giant visage fades away with a nasty laugh to then reappear in more crystal formations.
Princess Cadance?: And then what? Most ponies have forgotten that these caves even exist, which is why they are the ideal place to keep the ones who try to interfere with my plans. *laughs maniacally*
Twilight Sparkle: Plans? What plans?
Princess Cadance? smiles mockingly at that.
Princess Cadance?: The plans I have for your brother, of course.
Twilight got surprised from that before getting a glare similar to (Y/N) as she flares up her horn.
Twilight Sparkle: Don't you dare do anything to my brother, you. . . you monster!
(Y/N): You won't get away with this! We will find a way out of here and we'll put a stop to your evil plans!
Princess Cadance?: Only way to stop me is to catch me~!
The single image vanishes and is replaced by dozens of Twilight's and (Y/N)'s in every gleaming surface.
Cadence?'s laughter rings through the cavern as Twilight and (Y/N) look here and there with their horns glowing trying to pick out a target. Right on cue, the crazed face appears in a crystal.
Princess Cadance?: Over here~!
Twilight fires off a beam at the crystal, but the visage fades out with a laugh and is replaced by a plethora of Twilights. Her shot bounces wildly all over the place as if it were a laser beam hitting mirrors before it finally scorches the patch of floor directly in front of her and (Y/N), the nearest of misses.
The floor then shows another copy of Cadance?'s face.
Princess Cadance?: Nope!
She then vanishes once again to then reappear in multiple crystals behind them.
Princess Cadance?: Over here!
Now they shift from one wall area to another, laughing all the while, and (Y/N) angrily yells firing blast after blast at the crystals. The crystals disintegrate into shards when he hits them. His last target is a section of wall that blows apart in a thick cloud of dust. When the view clears, a second chamber can be seen beyond the opening and in it is a badly scuffed and disheveled Cadence sitting on her haunches. (Y/N) gasps surprised at seeing this Cadance while Twilight was still boiling-mad and was ready to attack her.
Princess Cadance: No! Wait!
Twilight tries to hurl herself to tackle the injured Cadance as she still she's evil, but (Y/N) stops her trajectory in the air.
(Y/N): Twilight, stop!
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N)! What are you doing?! Why are you protecting the enemy?!
(Y/N): Hold on!
(Y/N) then closes his eyes and makes his horn glow and after a few second he gets a surprised look.
(Y/N): Twilight. . . that's the REAL Princess Cadance!
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, please. At this point, I can't tell who's real or not!
Princess Cadance: Twilight, he's right. It is me.
Twilight continues to glare at her as (Y/N) sat her down to the ground.
Princess Cadance: I've been imprisoned like you. The Cadance who brought you down here was an imposter.
Twilight Sparkle: Likely story!
(Y/N): Twilight, I'm sure of it. C-Cadance, tell us one thing you know about Twilight.
Cadance gets an idea from that as she then goes into the old bit from her foal-sitting days to try and prove it to Twilight.
Princess Cadance: Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves. . .
Twilight gets surprised that she remembers that as she follows her movements as well.
Princess Cadance and Twilight Sparkle: . . .and do a little shake.
Through the scramble of tangled mane, grime, and scrapes, Cadence manages to bring up a fragile but reassuring grin. Twilight responds with a gigantic one of her own and leaps into the gold-shod forelegs for a long-overdue hug.
Twilight Sparkle: You are the real Cadance!
Princess Cadance: Of course I am. How could I forget the filly I love to sit for the most?
(Y/N) smiles at the scene between the two as he walks up to both of them.
(Y/N): See? Told ya.
They both then break the hug as Princess Cadance also recognizes (Y/N) and gives him a hug as well which he returns.
(Y/N): I'm so glad to see you again, Cadance!
Princess Cadance: Me too, young hero. It has been awhile.
They then broke that hug and everypony smiles at each other that they have all been reunited. However, a very mischievous from afar get's their attention as it was coming from far deep in the caves. (Y/N) get's a very serious look as he walks forward.
(Y/N): Looks like we'll have to cut the reunion short. We need to go and stop that changeling!
Twilight looks at (Y/N) confused by that.
Twilight Sparkle: Changeling? What's that?
Princess Cadance: They're very malicious creatures. They feed on the love of you based off of somepony else you love.
(Y/N): Which is how she was able to impersonate Cadance. Who is she anyways?
Princess Cadance: Her name is Queen Chrysalis. She's the queen of all of the changelings.
Twilight Sparkle: That's great, we know who she really is now!
Twilight then gets a guilty look on her face.
Twilight Sparkle: But our friends don't. . .
(Y/N) then walks up and wraps a hoof around Twilight which prompts her to look up at him.
(Y/N): Don't worry, I'll be able to let them know. I even told them of how selfish they were being and not being a good friend to you.
Twilight smiles from that as she blushes from (Y/N)'s will to help her out.
Twilight Sparkle: You actually. . . did that for me?
(Y/N): Of course, Twilight. I wouldn't never abandon you, you're one of the greatest friends that I've ever had.
Twilight and (Y/N) look at each other with smiles and blushes before they instantly went away as they heard giggling from Cadance.
Princess Cadance: *giggles* Twilight, I met him before here in Canterlot. Is he your boyfriend?
Both Twilight and (Y/N) blushed embarrassed from that as they were flustered from that statement.
(Y/N): N-N-N-N-N-No!
Twilight Sparkle: I-It's not like that! We're just best friends!
(Y/N): Y-Yeah, what she said.
Princess Cadance: *giggles* If you say so.
Twilight Sparkle: So (Y/N), how are you going to get our friends if we're so many feet below the ground?
(Y/N) smirks from that.
(Y/N): *chuckles* Just stand back and watch.
Twilight stands back a few feet from (Y/N) as does Princess Cadance as (Y/N) takes a deep breath before he glows his horn with a bright light. Twilight and Cadance shield their eyes from that as seven small smoke streams of magic come out of his horn to tell rise up to go above the surface.
Back in the corridor where the Mane 5 and Spike were, they were still waiting on (Y/N) as they all got worried looks.
Fluttershy: (Y/N) has been gone for quite awhile.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah. . . that's weird. Does Twilight not want to talk to us after the way we treated her or something?
Rarity: Darling, she would never be that cold-hearted. We're her friends for crying out loud.
Applejack: It is kinda fishy though.
Pinkie Pie: You don't think that they're in trouble do you?
Everypony looks at Pinkie before each other and gets even more worried.
Applejack: After what (Y/N) said about Cadance, I wouldn't really see this as something that we should be calm about anymore.
Spike: I hope they're okay. We can't go to the wedding without them.
Rainbow Dash: But how will we go if Twilight's been kicked out of the wedding?
Rarity: Well, Rainbow Dash as her friends we must stand up for her and demand that either Twilight attends the wedding or we don't.
Pinkie Pie: That's right! We almost lost (Y/N) as a friend and I don't want it to happen ever again! I love hearing his voice every time he's around.
?: (Pinkie Pie's Mind) Pinkie, is that you? Can you hear me?
Pinkie jumps up and gives a long gasp.
Pinkie Pie: I think I'm starting to hear voices of (Y/N) just by saying his name! This is a dream come true!
Fluttershy: Um. . . what?
(Y/N): (Fluttershy's Mind) Fluttershy, it's me (Y/N). Can you hear me?
Fluttershy grew surprised from hearing (Y/N)'s voice in her head as it made her a bit nervous.
Fluttershy: I-I heard it too.
Spike: Uh. . . is it me or has something caused Fluttershy and Pinkie to act stranger than usual?
(Y/N): (Spike's mind) No, Spike. It's all real. You can hear me can't you?
Spike: Gah! Now it's happening to me! I'm hearing voices as well!
Applejack rolls her eyes at those statements and groans.
Applejack: Simmer down y'all. If y'all are hearing (Y/N)'s voices in your heads then I think that he's clearly using his magic to communicate with us.
Rainbow Dash: Oh come on! There is no such thing as telepathy.
(Y/N): (Rainbow Dash's Mind) Oh, you'd like to think that wouldn't you?
Rainbow Dash went wide-eyed from that as she look all around, but couldn't find (Y/N) anymore.
Rainbow Dash: What the. . .? How is this possible?
Applejack: Told ya. See I've already adapted to listening to what (Y/N) says more. You all are still somewhat in denial.
(Y/N): (Applejack's Mind) Tell me about it.
Applejack: Alright sugarcube, I know we can't see ya, but ya clearly doing this for a reason ain't ya?
At this point, everypony was able to hear (Y/N)'s voice simultaneously through their heads.
(Y/N): (Echo) Yes, can everypony hear me.
Rarity: Yes darling, what happened? I thought you said that you would be back with Twilight.
(Y/N): (Echo) Bad news, we got captured by our so-called "Cadance."
Everypony gasps at that.
(Y/N): (Echo) Twilight and I are currently below the castle trying to find our way out. Also I need to tell you guys something.
Spike: What is it?
(Y/N): (Echo) That "Cadance" is an imposter!
Everypony looked at each other wide-eyed from that.
Pinkie Pie: Ohhh. So did you find the real Mi Amore and you're coming to try and confront the fake one?
(Y/N): (Echo) . . .Wow Pinkie I'm impressed. Way to move on quickly.
Pinkie Pie: *giggles* Thanks, (Y/N).
Rainbow Dash: So, what do we do now, (Y/N)? I'm not going to be some bridesmaid for an imposter of the bride!
(Y/N): (Echo) I need you all to stall as long as you can and keep an eye on the fake Cadance. We'll be there as soon as we can.
The Mane 5 and Spike all look at each other with determined looks and nodded.
Applejack: Don't worry (Y/N), ya can count on us.
(Y/N): (Echo) Great! Also, just want to say. . . I'm a tad bit sorry at raising my voice earlier at you guys.
Rainbow Dash: Nah, we don't need any apology.
Fluttershy: She's right, (Y/N). You were right to scold us like that. We weren't being sensitive friends and we were all blinded by the entire wedding.
Rarity: If anything, we still haven't apologized to Twilight for it.
(Y/N): (Echo) Thanks girls. I'll tell her you said that.
Spike: We should get moving. The wedding doesn't start too long from now.
Applejack: We'll delay as much as we can for y'all to get here with the real Cadance, sugarcube. For now, just stay safe and get here as soon as possible.
(Y/N): (Echo) *chuckles* I'm glad to have you girls as such dependable friends.
The Mane 5 blush and Spike just gave an annoyed look in a random direction.
Spike: *sarcastically* Oh sure, leave me out of this.
(Y/N): (Echo) *chuckles* Sorry. You too Spike.
Spike then smiles from that as they all then run off to go and get things prepared for the wedding and for (Y/N) to get there as soon as possible.
Back inside of the caves, (Y/N) finished using his spell as the glow from his horn died down and he shakes his head a bit in pain from using that spell. Twilight walks up to him concerned.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), what was that?
(Y/N): A type of telepathy spell. It allows me to talk or communicate with others if I'm not around.
Twilight eyes sparkled in interest from that.
Twilight Sparkle: Wow! That's a very advanced spell!
(Y/N): *chuckles* Yeah.
Princess Cadance: Well, you two. Let's get going and put a stop to the queen, once and for all.
(Y/N) and Twilight nod from that with a determined look as they all run to try and find the exit out the caves and confront the fake Cadance.
Back up at the royal palace, it is now sunset as the wedding is close to coming to a start. Princess Cadance? is seen inside of the dressing room. Here, several pony mannequins are dressed in assorted formal wear and Princess Cadence? now wearing a gold-trimmed white wedding dress approaches a vanity mirror. A red rose is magically pulled from a vase and tucked in behind one ear. She wears a wreath of flowers and a veil on her head. A light blue, heart-shaped jewel brooch, the same as the one in her cutie mark, and secures the blue/yellow sash across her chest.
She then begins to sing about her evil plot.
Princess Cadance?: This day is going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
Everypony will gather 'round
Say I look lovely in my gown
What they don't know is that I have fooled them all!
Back in the caves, the real Princess Cadance sings as well, but more melancholy and both Twilight and (Y/N) comfort her.
Princess Cadance: This day was going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
But instead of having cake
With all my friends to celebrate
My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all. . .
Princess Cadance?: I could care less about the dress
I won't partake in any cake
Vows, well I'll be lying when I say
That through any kind of weather
She knocks a mannequins top hat into the air and disintegrates it with a spell.
I'll want us to be together
The truth is I don't care for him at all
No I do not love the groom
In my heart there is no room
But I still want him to be all mine
Twilight, (Y/N), and Cadance bolt from place to place, looking for any hint of a way out of this crazy house.
Princess Cadance: We must escape before it's too late
Find a way to save the day
Hope, I'll be lying if I say
"I don't fear that I may lose him
To one who wants to use him
They find an old mine cart on a set of tracks leading into the pitch-black distance. The prospect of using it throws a scare into Twilight. However, (Y/N) get's an idea.
Not care for, love, and cherish him each day"
Cadence tries to push the cart ahead, but fails to do so.
For I oh so love the groom
All my thoughts he does consume
(Y/N) and Twilight smiles warmly at this and (Y/N) kick-starts his horn, shifting a few rocks that block the wheels and Twilight floats Cadence into the cart.
Oh, Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon
A heave from Twilight and (Y/N) dislodges the last rock and sets the dilapidated vehicle rolling along a spiral track that descends into the black depths. Twilight has no time to climb in and finds herself clinging for dear life to the rear end. (Y/N) was able to pull her in as they all nearly reached the end of the tracks. It hits the barricade placed here and stops dead, launching both mares in a high arc over the scree of mining debris that has accumulated in this area over the years. Twilight squeezed her eyes tight shut in full expectation of meeting her maker. When she opens them and finds herself still alive as (Y/N) was holding on to both of them flying across the entire cavern.
Back up at the surface, two double doors swing open to give a view of the Canterlot Castle hall in which the wedding rehearsal occurred. The floor is packed solid with guests on both sides of the aisle, and all of Twilight's friends save Fluttershy stand to one side of it near the dais at the front, facing four groomsman stallions across the way. The mares are wearing the bridesmaid dresses Rarity designed for them, and their manes are appropriately styled. They all looked at each other with worried looks at seeing the fake Cadance as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, sporting their own little dresses, hop ahead to scatter flower petals from the baskets in their mouths before she walks down the aisle.
Princess Cadance?: Finally the moment has arrived
For me to be one lucky bride
Princess Cadance: Oh, the wedding we won't make
He'll end up marrying a fake
Shining Armor will be. . .
Princess Cadance?: . . .mine, all mine. *laughs evilly*
Back at wedding hall, the five bridesmaids now stand to Celestia's right, two on the dais steps and two on the floor, facing the four similarly positioned groomsman stallions across the red carpet. Shining and Fake Cadence stand facing each other in front of Celestia on their respective sides. They all were just worried for what was going to happen as (Y/N) and Twilight's time was nearly up.
Rarity: *whispers* They're almost out of time!
Applejack: *whispers* What do we do, y'all?
Pinkie then pulls out a pie out of nowhere and get's a mischievous look, however the others knew what she was implying as they all immediately shake their heads no at that. Pinkie pouts and puts the pie back in her mane.
Rainbow Dash: *whispers* We tried to stall for as long as we could. I don't know what we can do.
Rarity: All I can say is that. . . (Y/N), Twilight. . . please hurry.
Princess Celestia: Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor.
Fluttershy: Oh no, it's starting.
Twilight, (Y/N), and Cadance, who have wound up on a not-too-big ledge with a crystal wall in the middle and are casting about for any way to continue their escape.
Princess Cadance: Oh, we're never going to save him.
(Y/N): Don't worry Cadance. We will, we just need to find an outlet that can help us get out of here.
Twilight looks up and sees a shining light at the top.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), look up there!
(Y/N) and Cadance turn to see Twilight pointing up at the shed of light as they both got relieved. (Y/N) then glows his horn as they all teleported up to the ledge. However, their delight turns into consternation as they see in front of them, the former bridesmaids hypnotized by the fake Cadance.
Lyra Heartstrings, Minuette, and Twinkleshine: You're not going anywhere.
(Y/N): Anypony got a plan that doesn't involve hurting them? Do it now!
They all back up uneasily until Cadance looks about and levitates a bridal bouquet. Shaking it in midair to get their attention, she shifts it back and forth and then slings it for distance over their heads. The three former bridesmaids then dive after the bouquet.
Lyra Heartstrings, Minuette, and Twinkleshine: I want it!
The three stare at them surprised.
Princess Cadance: Huh. I didn't think that would work.
Twilight Sparkle: Neither did I, but I guess we can't be too shocked right now.
(Y/N): That's right! It's time we all go and crash a wedding!
Twilight and Cadance nod at that as they follow (Y/N) out of the caves.
Back up at the surface, the ceremony was nearly about to end as Princess Celestia was getting ready to declare them as official spouses. All the Mane 5 could do is watch with extreme worry.
Princess Celestia: Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you-
However, a voice called out to them.
Twilight Sparkle: STOP!
Seeing Twilight's interruption brought shocked murmurs from the guests, but her friends just beamed with huge smiles.
Mane 5 and Spike: Twilight!
Princess Cadance?: Ugh! Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother?
Princess Celestia noticed that tone at shot her a funny look. Catching onto it, Cadance? started sobbing.
Princess Cadance?: *fake sobbing* Why does she have to ruin my special day?
?: Because it's not your special day! It's MINE!
Everypony but the Mane 5 and Spike were surprised as the real Cadance revealed herself to everypony and they all let out loud murmurs.
Rainbow Dash: Ha ha! You're in trouble now!
Princess Cadance?: What? But how did you escape my bridesmaids?
Twilight Sparkle: Just a little bit of wedding intelligence is all that it took.
Princess Cadance?: Hmph. Clever. But you're still too late.
Applejack: That ain't happenin' imposter! Just who are you exactly?!
Twilight Sparkle: Well, Applejack, I think a certain "hero" of ours would like to tell you all that!
Twilight and Cadance each step to the side as (Y/N) bolts into the room in the air doing a couple of flips before landing heroically in front of the dais with a furious look.
(Y/N): Don't trust anything that faker says! She's a changeling! She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!
Everypony even the Mane 5 gasp from that being revealed and he points at the fake Cadance.
(Y/N): Give it up! Your act is no longer going to fool us, Cadance! Or should I say. . . QUEEN CHRYSALIS!
The imposter recoiled a bit, but growled as she made her eyes and horn burn yellow-green and a ring of matching flames lances up from the floor to encircle her. These blaze up to the ceiling as all gasp and recoil from the infernal glare. The shaded wings flex in a sudden convulsion and transform into a tattered, insect-like pair. Next, the pink legs turn into hole-pocked, gray-black limbs, the transformation working down toward the hooves. Finally, the horn's exterior strips away to expose a gnarled, half-decayed black one underneath. The figure then gives a sinister smile as she reveals herself to be a very tall changeling who had a dark gray chitin body, her mane, tail, and wings were dark cerulean, the carapace on her back was a gradient of dark artic blue to moderate green, her eyes were moderate harlequin with a deep opal eyeshadow, and she had a cluster of short antennae on the back of her head shaped to resemble a small crown. This was Queen Chrysalis, the queen and ruler of the Changelings.
Queen Chrysalis: *laughs evilly* Right you are, (Y/N) (L/N).
(Y/N): So you DO know who I am?!
Queen Chrysalis: But of course, how can I forget that the fool of all ponies had a very inconsiderate son. (M/N) was very foolish to think that she could prevent me from entering Equestria again.
(Y/N) glares at Chrysalis very angrily from that.
Queen Chrysalis: Believe it or not, I recognized you the first we met. However, I couldn't draw too much attention to myself as I knew you would be persistent to stop me.
(Y/N): And I still am! You won't get away with this!
Chrysalis laughs evilly from that as she walks up to the ponies confronting her. Everypony else just watched in complete shock.
Queen Chrysalis: Quite the contrary, it's up to me to feed my loyal subjects all of the love that they can find, and where better to find all of any kind of love in Equestria? My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!
Princess Cadance then walks up beside (Y/N) to deliver a glare towards her as well.
Princess Cadance: They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!
Queen Chrysalis: *chuckles* Oh, I doubt that. Isn't that right, dear?
Queen Chrysalis glows her horn to reveal that she has been hypnotizing Shining Armor and he obeys her command.
Shining Armor: Mm-hmm.
Princess Cadance was about to charge in to save her husband, but (Y/N) holds his hoof out in front of her.
(Y/N): No, it's not safe for you. Stand back.
Princess Cadance reluctantly follows that she stood back a bit.
Queen Chrysalis: Ever since I took your place, I've been feeding off Shining Armor's love for you. Every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell. Even now, my minions are chipping away at it.
Everypony looks up and outside to see Shining Armor's force field now under assault by several snickering little changelings who are slamming their bodies against it. Back inside the hall, Chrysalis' exultant laughter rings out as her shadow falls over a knot of horrified guests, and she caresses the motionless groom's chin, turning his face toward hers.
Queen Chrysalis: *laughs* He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now.
Princess Cadance and Twilight gasp from that while (Y/N) growls at her.
Queen Chrysalis: And, I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as captain of the Royal Guard.
Princess Cadance: Not my Shining Armor!
Queen Chrysalis: Soon, my changeling army will break through. First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!
Princess Celestia then steps in with a furious look.
Princess Celestia: No. You won't. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!
Both of them then charge toward each other and lock horns briefly before rising up into the air. Each conjures a beam from her horn and blasts it toward the other. They cancel out at the point where they meet. The changeling ruler gasps for breath under the strain at first, but soon adds a few more horsepower to her offensive. Celestia's eyes widen in fear as the green energy slowly bulldozes its way across and finally touches her horn, casting its glow over her figure before an explosion happens making everypony gasp. A jeweled gold tiara is seen tracing out a graceless arc as it tumbles away in slow motion.
(Y/N): Celestia!
(Y/N) quickly flies in and catches the unconscious wearer before she could hit the ground as the end of her horn was blackened and smoking. The rest of the Mane 7 gather around to go to the princess' aid. Chrysalis was surprised, but it soon turns into an evil grin.
Queen Chrysalis: Ah! Shining Armor's love for you is even stronger than I thought! Consuming it has made me even more powerful than Celestia!
However, as she says that, a magic blast hits her in the face as a smoke explosion came up around her. It soon goes away as Chrysalis was just infuriated from that.
Queen Chrysalis: What?! Who dares?!
(Y/N) then lands in the middle of the hall face to face with Chrysalis.
(Y/N): I do! And I don't know who you think you're messing with, but I'll tell you that you just angered the wrong pony!
Queen Chrysalis then glares daggers back at (Y/N).
Queen Chrysalis: Insolent fool! You're just as annoying as your mother!
(Y/N) smirks and bows to then taunt her.
(Y/N): Why thank you. And here I thought that you were a queen with no respect at all.
Queen Chrysalis growls at (Y/N) patronizing her as everypony was watching surprised.
Queen Chrysalis: Don't you dare taunt me like that!
(Y/N): Oh, I'm sorry Queen Chrisy did I strike a nerve? I suppose I did strike a nerve.
Queen Chrysalis got even more annoyed by that as she stomps both of her hooves down in anger.
Queen Chrysalis: YOU IMBECILE! Just for that, I'm not only going to drain all of the love inside of you, but I'm also going to tear you into smithereens!
(Y/N): Aw~. You want my love? That's sweet of you, Chrysalis~.
Everypony around let out an "Oooooh!" and even the Mane 6 and Princess Celestia were surprised at (Y/N)'s reckless taunts. Queen Chrysalis blushed a bit at that last part before she shakes it away and she glows her horn and growls in anger.
Queen Chrysalis: That's it! If you won't hold your tongue then I'll gladly rip it off for you!
(Y/N) smirks once again with a calm expression.
(Y/N): You want it. . .?
(Y/N) then does a "come at me" gesture with his hoof towards her.
(Y/N): . . .Come and take it!
That was the last straw as Chrysalis yells and charges towards (Y/N) as he stood still with a cocky smirk on his face. The Mane 6 were all in worry.
Mane 6: (Y/N)!
Vs. Queen Chrysalis Phase 1 Music: RWBY - Qrow vs. Winter
Time slowed down for a second as Chrysalis was just right in front of (Y/N) getting ready to knock his teeth out, but when time resumed (Y/N) simply just moves his head to the side to avoid the attack. Chrysalis repeated these punches with her hoof, but to her surprise, (Y/N) was able to dodge all of them with no problem. (Y/N) then ducks to avoid another attack, but once Chrysalis attempts one more punch at (Y/N), he caught it without even flinching which surprises everypony even Chrysalis.
(Y/N) then raises his head to show Chrysalis his (F/C) glowing eyes before knocking her back into a wall with a kick to the stomach which made everypony jaw drop at (Y/N)'s insane strength.
Chrysalis quickly recovers as she charges at (Y/N) once again to attack him, but this time as she tried to strike him, (Y/N) backflips a few times before flying into the air to dodge her attacks.
Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and even Celestia and Cadance were just dumbfounded while Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie got excited at see (Y/N) in action.
Rainbow Dash: YEAH, KICK HER FLANK (Y/N)!
Pinkie Pie: GO (Y/N)! SHOW THAT SILLY QUEEN SOME RESPECT!
Princess Cadance: (How is it possible for one pony to have this much magic strength in them?!)
Princess Celestia: (I knew (Y/N) had a lot of power to battle Nightmare Moon, but this is just incredible!)
Twilight Sparkle: (H-How is he. . . that's just. . . what. . . he's just toying with her like it's a game!)
Chrysalis then fires another magic blast at (Y/N), but he quickly dodges it and he lands to the ground. She then attempts to pierce him with her horn, but (Y/N) dodges it gracefully. The changeling then proceeds to punch him some more times, but (Y/N) dodges all of them like it was just a dance to him.
(Y/N) then does a leg sweep to make Chrysalis lose her balance which worked as Chrysalis fell backwards and (Y/N) then catches her and tips her backwards with a smirk. Queen Chrysalis just blushed from that, but that was to catch her off guard as (Y/N) kicked her back some more feet away from him, but lucky for Chrysalis she was able to land on all four of her hooves.
Chrysalis scowled as she decided to fire some more magic blasts at (Y/N) and he put up a shield that made them explode when they came in contact. He then flew up to a wall to dodge another magic blast that Chrysalis sent her way.
Queen Chrysalis: Stand still!
(Y/N): How about no?
(Y/N) then runs on the walls with his wings out so that he isn't able to fall down while running on the wall. Chrysalis fires a beam at (Y/N) that knocks him off the wall, but he landed on the ground without any problem.
(Y/N): (Hmm. . . not bad. Let's see if she can outsmart this!)
(Y/N) instantly then flies circles extremely fast around Chrysalis which causes wind to pick up in the room and everypony could feel their manes being blown back. Chrysalis could tell that (Y/N) was trying to make her lose oxygen and she wasn't about to let that happen as she glows her horn and stomps her hooves to the ground to cause a small fiery explosion to blow (Y/N) back as he crashed into a wall, but he still had plenty of energy inside of him to fight.
Chrysalis charges once again at (Y/N) to then try and attack at (Y/N) with close-quarters combat. She tries to punch him, but he blocks it with a kick. Chrysalis then sends another punch at (Y/N), but he blocks that as well.
Another punch and this time, (Y/N) uses both of his rear legs to not only block, but he jumps off of Chrysalis to backflip twice and gain a little bit of distance. He lands on the ground with hard force as he stood back up and faces towards the changeling once more.
(Y/N): Hmph. Not bad.
Both of them stare at each other for a moment before they both glow their horns and give each other a glare before they both fire magic beams at each other and unlike Celestia's, (Y/N)'s was stronger as it was able to overlap Chrysalis' beam and she nearly got hit and dodge his magic beam in time to then let it hit the wall behind her making a small dust explosion behind her.
Chrysalis stares at the explosion with great shock before back at (Y/N) and she growls. (Y/N) smiles as he blew some smoke off of his horn.
(End Music Here)
Queen Chrysalis: YOU! Just what are you?!
(Y/N) smiles as he gives a look of determination.
(Y/N): My name is (Y/N) (L/N)! I'm an ally to good! And a nightmare to you!
The Mane 6 just watch with astonishment that (Y/N) was able to hold his own against Queen Chrysalis.
Rainbow Dash: Come on, we've got to help him!
The Mane 6 were about to intervene until Princess Celestia who recovered from Chrysalis' attack stands in front of them with a serious look.
Princess Celestia: No! It's way too dangerous for you! I'll back him up!
Twilight Sparkle: What?! But Princess Celesita, you saw that she was able to beat you without much problem!
Princess Celestia: Maybe, but I intend to give him all of the support that he needs!
Twilight Sparkle: So what do we do?
Princess Celestia: Go and find the Elements of Harmony and bring them here! We'll hold our own with Chrysalis here! You must find them so you and (Y/N) can use their power to defeat Chrysalis!
After a determined six-way nod, four bridesmaid dresses are flung toward the ceiling and their wearers, along with Twilight, gallop out of the hall. Applejack has procured and donned her usual hat, and their manes have returned to their everyday appearances. The only one to hang back is Rarity, who worriedly catches the discarded garments in hooves and teeth while still clad in her own.
Mane 5: Rarity!
The internal battle between saving her work and helping her friends is short and fierce. It ends when Rarity drops her dresses and gallops after them, hurling her own finery back as she goes.
Queen Chrysalis sees the mares running off and just directs a maliciously exultant laugh after the group.
Queen Chrysalis: You can run, but you can't hide!
As they all run off to go and find the Elements of Harmony, Applejack get's something in her mind that she just remembers and starts up a conversation.
Applejack: Twilight, I know we're in a hurry, but we might as well tell you all this now. We're sorry for not listening to ya.
Rarity: Yes, (Y/N) explained to us that we were being terrible friends for not believing anything that you explained to us about the fake Cadance.
They all then stop to a halt for a moment to continue talking to one another as Twilight looks at her friends and they had guilty looks.
Fluttershy: We were very insensitive to think that all that mattered was the wedding and not our own friends feelings.
Rainbow Dash: The imposter may have been making some fishy assumptions, but we thought that it was no big deal. We barely even got to know what she was like.
Pinkie Pie: It's not a fun thing to not trust your friends over something that sounds important.
Rarity: To be honest, we should have already known that for when you were worrying about sending a letter to the princess a while back.
Twilight just smiles at her friends apologizing to her.
Rainbow Dash: We'd understand that if you didn't forgive us for that, Twilight.
Applejack: Our darn minds were just too stubborn even make a lick of sense of what was really goin' on.
Fluttershy: And we almost lost another friend in the process. Something that we would all definitely regret if it happened.
Pinkie Pie: So what were just trying to say is. . .
Mane 5: We're really, really sorry Twilight.
Twilight just smiles as she runs up and hugs her friends with complete forgiveness for them. The rest of her friends smile at that as they all joined the hug as well for a brief moment.
Twilight Sparkle: I know it was hard to believe something that seemed very superficial, but don't regret it too much everypony. Chrysalis fooled everyone. You girls would still be my friends even with this huge mistake and maybe any other mistake out there. We all make them and learn from them.
All of the mares smiled at that as they continued the hug once more before they heard a crashing sound and the mares cuts their eyes upward and they let them widen with instant fear, as the swarm of changelings were waiting just beyond the force field.
Twilight Sparkle: However, we'll have to save the sentiments for later! We need to get to the Elements of Harmony!
Everypony nodded in agreement from that as they all continued to run to go and find the Elements of Harmony in the castle. Up above the surface, the changeling minions cackle wildly and watch the gang of six hurry across the Canterlot Castle grounds. As they resume their battering assault on the field, webs of cracks begin to appear at one impact point after another. One last, coordinated mass strike is all it takes to completely shatter the barricade from top to bottom.
At ground level, Twilight and company brace themselves against the accompanying ground tremors. Once these die down, the changelings go into a nose dive. Their small horns warm up and let go with a volley of yellow-green beams.
Twilight Sparkle: Go! Go!
Her rush is cut off when one enemy dive-bombs itself into the street, barely missing her and embedding itself briefly into the resulting crater. All put their legs into overdrive to keep from being hit as well, but stop short when one slams down in front to miss them by inches. It hisses tauntingly up at them, but Twilight simply rears up and brings both front hooves down on the gray-black head for an instant knockout.
They continue their rush across the city. However, another horde of changelings is up at a flight of stairs waiting for them, and in no time the mares is well and truly boxed in.
Rainbow Dash: Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way.
Lunging forward, she suddenly finds herself facing down her exact duplicate. Every move and flinch and scowl she makes is copied perfectly that is, until the fake Rainbow Dash lands a double-hoof punch that sends the real one skidding across the bricks on her back.
Rainbow Dash: How did you. . .?!
In response, several other front-line fighters transform themselves into wickedly smiling doppelgangers of the sky-blue pegasus. Twilight stares wide-eyed as others change to mimic all six mares.
Twilight Sparkle: They're changelings, remember?
A bunch of fake Twilight then wall them in to copy her.
Changelings (Twilight Sparkle): They're changelings, remember?
Twilight Sparkle: Don't let them distract you. We have to get to the Elements of Harmony. (Y/N) and the princess are buying us enough time to get them, so let's use it!
All six then leap in to face off against an ersatz squad, leading to a massive battle royal.
Back inside of the wedding hall, (Y/N) and Princess Celestia face off against Chrysalis once more.
Queen Chrysalis: Celestia, it would save both time and your life if you just give up right now!
Princess Celestia just glares at Chrysalis from that. Chrysalis then glares at (Y/N).
Queen Chrysalis: And you! You've made the biggest mistake if you think that you can defy the queen of the changelings! I don't think you have any idea who you're dealing with!
(Y/N): Ha, funny! I think you should remember that I also said the same thing to you! So your quip was a lot too late!
Queen Chrysalis: ENOUGH! I may have underestimated you before, but I will surely not make any reckless mistakes this time!
Princess Celestia: Get ready, (Y/N). The real battle begins now.
(Y/N): I know. Are you sure you're in condition to fight?
Princess Celestia then give a determined smile to (Y/N).
Princess Celestia: Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. But I'm not letting you do this alone, (Y/N)! Both of us have to protect everypony from this monster!
(Y/N) smiles back at Celestia and nods before they both glare back at Chrysalis.
(Y/N): I've been waiting to finish things with you ever since you trapped Twilight down in the mines! Bring it on, Queen Chrysalis!
Queen Chrysalis: Filthy mule! I'll shut that mouth of yours permanently!
(Y/N) then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to let out any more nerves that he had, but that wasn't all as he knew that this battle was going to be even longer than the one that he had before. . .
Vs. Queen Chrysalis Phase 2 Music: Persona 5 Scramble - Rivers in The Desert (Instrumental)
(Y/N) then makes his aura glow all around his body as he then opens his eyes to show their (F/C) color, the same as his aura. His aura grew a bit bigger by the second which made Celestia a bit surprised that he has so much magic energy, but she knew it wasn't the time to focus on that right now.
(Y/N) aura then glows to a point that shows that he's ready to fight once again and he gives a death glare to Chrysalis. (Y/N) then flies up to Chrysalis to try and punch her, but unlike the last time she was prepared for this as she blocked it and knocked (Y/N) back towards Celestia.
(Y/N): She definitely wasn't kidding about being prepared for this one. Be on your guard, Celestia!
Princess Celestia: Will do.
Queen Chrysalis then fires a magic beam aimed towards Celestia and she quickly puts up a shield to let it deflect off and hit a wall. (Y/N) then flies up to Chrysalis to try and attack her once again as he first lands in front of her to then try and land a punch to the face, but it was blocked. Chrysalis then punches (Y/N) back in the face which made him flinch a bit, however he countered with a body blow to Chrysalis in the chest which knocked her back a bit.
Chrysalis then tried to swing her large horn at (Y/N), but he blocked it with a kick. She then uppercuts (Y/N) which knocks him into the air, but he quickly recovers and starts flying.
Queen Chrysalis: You may be resilient, however you are still mortal!
Queen Chrysalis then fires a beam towards (Y/N) in the air as he moves to the side to dodge it and he fires a couple of magic blasts back at Chrysalis which she put up a shield to block. Princess Celestia then fires another beam at Chrysalis and just in time when she put down her shield from being distracted by (Y/N), she got hit by it which knocks her to the ground just a bit. However, she was still able to recover easily as she stands back up and growls.
Princess Celestia: Give it up, Chrysalis! You are outnumbered and we overpower your magic!
Queen Chrysalis: *laughs* Maybe in this form. . .
Princess Celestia: What?
Queen Chrysalis then transforms herself into a timberwolf and charges at Celestia which surprises her as she forgot that Chrysalis could change her form. Chrysalis then swipes her wooden claws at Celestia which knocks her away as she let out a scream and fell to the ground hurt from that. Chrysalis then changes back to her original form.
Queen Chrysalis: You're too weak, Celestia! Even if you have an ally!
(Y/N): Well, that "ally" of hers is still here!
Queen Chrysalis' eyes widened from that as she forgot that (Y/N) was still there and he was able to shoot a magic beam at Chrysalis which knocked her away just a bit before faces (Y/N) again angrily and she turns back into a Timberwolf to then charge at (Y/N).
However, (Y/N) was prepared for this as he put up a small shield using one of his hooves as Chrysalis rams into it with full force making (Y/N) slide a bit backwards on all the rest of his hooves. (Y/N) then puts some magic energy into his other hoof and uppercuts Chrysalis which knocks her back towards the stairs of the dais where Princess Cadance was just watching and keeping Shining Armor safe.
Chrysalis felt some pain from that as she turns back to her original form, but as she stood up she wasn't prepared for when (Y/N) landed in front of her and he landed a combo on her that involved two punches to the face, two spinning hook kicks, a leg sweep that made Chrysalis fall backwards and as she did, (Y/N) charged up some energy in his hoof and punched her up to the glass wall with so much force that it caused a crack in it.
(Y/N): Ha! Gotcha!
Queen Chrysalis: YOU BUFFOON! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!
Chrysalis then flies up to charge at (Y/N) once again and (Y/N) puts both of his hooves in front of his face to try and block whatever was coming.
However, Chrysalis this time changed her form to an Ursa Minor, which caught (Y/N) off guard as he wasn't expecting her to change into something that big. Chrysalis in her Ursa Minor form then grabs (Y/N) face with one of her claws and slams him to the ground causing him to scream out in pain.
She wasn't done with him just yet as she then slams him into a wall and then back to the ground once again and aggressively drags him across the ground for a few seconds before throwing him back at another wall as he grunted in pain. (Y/N) then falls to the ground and by looks, he was scuffed from the attack and badly hurt. Queen Chrysalis then changes back to her normal form and cackles.
Princess Celestia: (Y/N)!
Queen Chrysalis: How do you like that, fool?! And you call yourself the son of (M/N) (L/N)!
Queen Chrysalis' evil smile then turns into a look of complete shock at what she sees next. . .
(Y/N)'s aura glows around his body and he slowly get's up with his eyes closed and he had a smirk on his face. With his aura glowing, some of the injuries that were on him were healed and he opens his eyes to show that they were glowing (F/C), but a bit brighter. Queen Chrysalis, Celestia, and even Cadance were surprised that (Y/N) even survived that.
Queen Chrysalis: HOW?! HOW ARE YOU OKAY AFTER THAT?!
(Y/N): *chuckles mischievously* Sometimes what brings me down. . . just makes me stronger.
(Y/N) then charges up his aura and it started to not only glow around his body, but it got slightly bigger and it looked like a flame was surrounding him. After a minute of charging it, (Y/N) was ready to deliver a strong attack himself as he raised his hoof into the air.
(Y/N): Now. . . OVERHEAT BUG!
(Y/N) slams his hoof into the ground and Chrysalis wasn't prepared for magic geyser to then come out from under her and shoot her into the air and she screamed in pain. (Y/N) then flies up swiftly to then grab one of her rear legs and using his burst of strength, he was able to spin her around and throw in another direction very fast.
He then instantly appears above her and then uses his magically-charged hoof, he brings himself along down with Chrysalis with a punch to the chest as if performing a slam dunk. He then finishes it off with one more attack and shouting a quip that a certain legendary wolf fighter would say.
(Y/N): *quickly* Are you okay. . .?!
(Y/N) then punches Chrysalis once more which causing an explosion around him and she is knocked back to the wall putting a huge crack in it. Chrysalis groans in pain from all of those as she was running out of energy to fight any longer.
(Y/N) was breathing heavily as the previous injuries that he had from earlier reappeared and Princess Celestia runs up to him surprised from that giant attack that he just pulled off.
Princess Celestia: (Y/N), what was that?!
(Y/N): Sometimes. . . I can. . . take hits. . . to then use that. . . as a counter attack. . . against my foes.
Princess Celestia: That's very impressive!
(Y/N) smiles at little from that.
(Y/N): Thanks. . . but. . . it still. . . takes a lot. . . out of me.
(Y/N) then heard another loud groan and he faces towards Chrysalis who was scuffed from (Y/N)'s previous attack.
Queen Chrysalis: I'm not done with you, yet!
Chrysalis then fires a couple of magic blasts at (Y/N) and he does a barrel roll to the side in order to dodge them.
(Y/N): Chrysalis! Why must you take love?! It's what makes all of us ponies care for each other!
Queen Chrysalis: Love is nothing, but a nurturing function for us! We take it, we grow stronger! Us changelings don't care for what happens to other creatures! As long as there is love for us to feed on, we'll take it even if we have to capture, manipulate, or even kill just so we can take it!
(Y/N): Is that all you care about?! Power?! There's more out there than just taking power! You don't need to grow strong in order to have a successful kingdom! It's because that I had my friends and my family that I'm still able to be who I am! Why don't you take the chance?!
Queen Chrysalis scowled from that and fires a beam at (Y/N) which he tries to block with a shield, but due to how weak he was getting, it broke after she fires another one at him knocking him back a bit.
Queen Chrysalis: I don't care about any other creature than myself, you ignoramus! My children are all that I have and need! We don't need anything or anypony else, but love in order to be successful in all of life!
(Y/N): But you don't need to take and terrorize ponies in order to become strong. Why don't you making friends instead of hurting other instead?
Queen Chrysalis then shoots a magic blast at (Y/N) which he dodged once more by flying into the air.
Queen Chrysalis: I DO NOT NEED YOUR SO CALLED "FRIENDSHIP"! IT'S NOTHING BUT A VIRUS THAT SPREADS TO TRY AND TAKE OTHERS! ALL WE NEED FOR US CHANGELINGS IS TO FEED ON LOVE! WE'LL DRAIN ALL OF EQUESTRIA OF IT'S LOVE, AND EVERY STALLION, MARE, AND FOAL WILL BOW TO MY WILL AS I TAKE ALL OF THE LOVE THAT I CAN FEED INSIDE OF ALL OF THEM!
(Y/N) glares angrily at Chrysalis that she has no desire at all to even try and make friends with other creatures.
Queen Chrysalis: YOU IMBECILE OF A MOTHER BANISHED ME FROM ENTERING EQUESTRIAN TERRITORY A LONG TIME AGO! I COULD HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH LOVE BACK THEN, BUT SHE STOPPED ME! AND NOW THAT HER STUPID SON IS HERE TRYING TO STOP ME, I'LL GET MY REVENGE ON HER BY KILLING YOU!
(Y/N): I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN! I MADE A PROMISE TO HER THAT I'LL PROTECT EQUESTRIA NO MATTER WHAT AND I'M GOING TO KEEP IT! I EVEN MADE A PROMISE TO CADANCE AND SHINING ARMOR THAT I'LL KEEP FIGHTING TILL I DIE! YOU'LL NEVER FORCE TO STAND DOWN, CHRYSALIS!
Princess Cadance heard that as she smiled and had small tears of joy that (Y/N) was going to keep his promise to both of them. Queen Chrysalis then glows her horn immensely and to get in a ready position.
Queen Chrysalis: Then come and face me, (Y/N) (L/N) if you're are that persistent for all of those pathetic lives!
(Y/N) glows his horn and his entire body to then get ready as well.
(Y/N): You want it?! You got it!
(Y/N) and Chrysalis stared at each other deep in the eye for a about a minute bracing for if either of them made the first move.
After that minute, (Y/N) and Chrysalis both charged at each other at the same time to then throw a punch that collided with both of their hooves touching at the exact same time with caused a small shockwave around the entire place before the both pulled away and threw out more punches and kicks towards each other that also collided more of the times.
(Y/N) then flies back to then cling onto a wall before flying back at Chrysalis with incredible speed and he roundhouse kicks her into the air which made Chrysalis yell and (Y/N) flew up after her.
(Y/N): YOU'RE FINISHED!
(Y/N) then used the last of the strength that he had to then send a flurry of fast punches at Chrysalis. (Y/N) then charged up energy in his hoof to send his last punch at Chrysalis.
(Y/N): TAKE THIS!
(Y/N) then punches Chrysalis to the ground with extreme force causing an explosion in the area.
He then flies back to the ground near the entrance of the hall and he was breathing heavily from all of the fighting that he just did.
(End Music Here)
(Y/N) let his aura die down and stares at Chrysalis who got up from the ground badly injured from fighting (Y/N) and she just couldn't be any more weaker at this point.
(Y/N) just had a determined look on his face staring at the weakened queen.
(Y/N): Alright Chrysalis, give up! You've lost!
Queen Chrysalis growls at that as she doesn't even want to give up after all of that she faced against (Y/N). However, she then notices something behind (Y/N) and smirks.
Queen Chrysalis: *chuckles* Don't jump to conclusions so fast, (Y/N) (L/N)! For it is YOU who have lost!
(Y/N): What are you talking about? I clearly was just able to beat to in a huge battle. I still have some magic inside of me to still fight. You're badly injured, so how did I lose?
Queen Chrysalis: Look behind you.
(Y/N) does so as he looks behind him and what he sees next brought a shock to him.
He sees his friends being escorted in by a platoon of changelings into the hall. Two of them carry Rainbow Dash in midair by her forelegs, while the other five are walking. Not only that, while he was distracted battling Chrysalis, the changelings had enough time to trap Celestia in a translucent cocoon that is attached to the ceiling of the hall, leaving her suspended upside down.
(Y/N) then angrily glares at Chrysalis.
(Y/N): Let my friends go!
Queen Chrysalis: And then what? Let them use the Elements of Harmony to keep me out of Equestria once again? No, I think not.
(Y/N) then glows his horn to show that he wasn't playing around however Chrysalis waves him off.
Queen Chrysalis: Ah, ah, ah.
Queen Chrysalis then gestures to her minions and they all looked like they were ready to attack the Mane 6 as the ponies recoiled in fear.
Queen Chrysalis: You said that you cared about these ponies didn't you? Why don't you prove it to me?
(Y/N) stops glowing his horn from that and still glares at Chrysalis.
Queen Chrysalis: I'll give you a choice: Either you can join your so called friends and surrender to me or. . . I'll have my changelings feast on their love before they tear them apart limb from limb.
(Y/N) had a shocked look from that before it turns into anger as he gritted his teeth as he put some magic energy into his hoof and held it up.
To show that she wasn't kidding, Chrysalis gestures at the changelings as they all stared at the Mane 6 licking their lips at how their love will taste.
It was a tough decision for (Y/N) as he didn't want to see his friends get hurt or surrender all of Canterlot to Chrysalis. He looks back and forth between his friends and Chrysalis a couple of times with a worried look before making his decision. . .
(Y/N)'s ears lay flat as he lowered his hoof and forced it to stop glowing. He then slowly walked towards his friends with a sad look on his face to join them in surrendering to Chrysalis.
The changelings then backed off a bit to make some room for (Y/N) to join the Mane 6 and he stood right beside Twilight. He towards his friends with a guilty look, however they all gave small smiles at (Y/N) for choosing them rather than all of Canterlot and Equestria, showing just how much he cares for them.
Queen Chrysalis: That's what I thought.
Chrysalis then clears her throat at some of her changelings to get their attention. Some of them see that she was badly hurt from battling (Y/N) and two of them go over to their queen and share a little of their love that they had inside of them to heal Chrysalis which worked as all of the injuries that she had were gone. She then faces the Mane 7 with an evil look.
Queen Chrysalis: *laughs evilly* You do realize the reception's been cancelled, don't you?
She faces back towards her minions.
Queen Chrysalis: Go! Feed!
The changelings clear out as fast as those chewed-up wings will allow, and she magically closes the doors.
Queen Chrysalis: *laughs* It's funny, really. Twilight and (Y/N) here was suspicious of my behavior all along.
Queen Chrysalis lifted both of the said ponies chins and they both angrily smacked her hoof away from them.
Queen Chrysalis: Too bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those suspicions were correct! *laughs*
(Y/N): You tricked everypony so good that you almost turned my own friends against me!
Twilight then puts a hoof on (Y/N)'s shoulder which makes him look at her.
Twilight Sparkle: It's okay, (Y/N). Besides. . . she fooled everypony.
Queen Chrysalis: Hmm, I did, didn't I?
Queen Chrysalis then begins to sing once again as she steps over to a window and looks out to see her minions are running amok in the streets.
Queen Chrysalis: This day has been just perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
Everypony I'll soon control
Every stallion, mare, and foal
Who says a girl can't really have it all?
She then chuckles richly at the unfolding devastation. However, she does not notice that Twilight and (Y/N) hunkered down and eased across the floor, and stopped next to Cadence on the dais who had her hooves trapped in some sticky gunk that the changelings trapped her in.
Twilight Sparkle: Quick! Go to him while you still have the chance!
(Y/N) then performs a quick spell that strips away the gunk, allowing the young princess to hurry over to her enthralled groom. After a long moment of indecision, she traces a hoof along his cheek and embraces him, tears leaking from her tightly closed eyes.
Suddenly, Cadance's horn sparks and glows as a bright pink heart pops out from the tip and, as the Mane 7 watch incredulously, makes its way over to stop before Shining Armor's fixed green-tinted irises. The spell she used during her foal-sitting days flares out as it then turned Shining Armor back to his normal self as he was disoriented. His eyes, though out of kilter, have returned to their normal blue and he shakes his head in an attempt to clear it.
Shining Armor: Wha- where. . . huh? Is. . . is the wedding over?
Cadance smiles, as do the Mane 7 until Chrysalis' severely perforated legs slam down in front of them on the red carpet.
Queen Chrysalis: It's ALL over!
Twilight Sparkle: Your spell! Perform your spell!
Queen Chrysalis: *laughs* What good would that do? My changelings already roam free.
Shining Armor: No!
Lowering his head slightly, he concentrates all his will on the single task of getting his horn to turn over. All he gets for his trouble is a feeble glow at the tip, though, and he lets his head drop in defeat.
Shining Armor: My power is useless now. I don't have the strength to repel them.
Princess Cadance: My love will give you strength.
She nuzzles him, prompting a venomous chuckle from the queen.
Queen Chrysalis: What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment.
(Y/N) get's a serious look as he faces the couple.
(Y/N): Both of you have shown that you truly do love each other to the very end. If you put your power together, you may be able to have more than enough strength to stop all of the changelings.
Shining Armor and Princess Cadance glance at (Y/N) for a second surprised from that before they trade a look with grim resolve in Shining Armor's eyes and desperate pleading in Cadance's. Shining Armor then tries to glow his horn once again and this time, it emits a stronger glow and Cadance brings hers close enough for an electric discharge to arc between the tips. They touch, creating a spark that glows purple and white as it steadily grows in size, and a circle of this same energy forms around the pair. Air currents circulate around them, causing Cadance's mane to billow and sparkle as do those of Celestia and Princess Luna, and she and Shining Armor trade a smile before concentrating again. The scuffs and dishevelment from her time in the underground caverns are gone now.
Now the spell slowly lifts them clear of the floor amid a stronger glowing aura. The Mane 7 grin and avert their eyes from the brilliance. Chrysalis' jaw drops open in total disbelief, and the hall begins to shake from the sheer amount of magical energy coursing through it. Shining Armor and Cadance open their eyes fully, revealing them to be glowing pure white, and the power gathers into them for a moment before exploding outward as a white, heart-shaped shock wave. For a moment, they can be seen as a pair of white silhouettes whose bodies are positioned to form the two halves of a heart, joined by their crossed horns and entwined hind legs.
The wave of love rockets towards Chrysalis as she manages only a strangled yelp of surprise before getting her tongue to behave itself.
Queen Chrysalis: NOOOOOO!
As she holds out this single protracted word, she is flung outward in a crash of breaking glass. The blast clears away the changelings around two captured guards which also melts the goo holding them, and throws out some other ones menacing a family in a street. Finally, in a long shot of Canterlot, one cataclysmic burst hurls both the screaming Chrysalis and every last one of her minions toward the distant horizon in all directions. The last trace of her is a tiny pinprick of light that flares briefly in the sky before she is lost to sight.
Back in the hall, Shining Armor and Cadance float gently back down to the dais. Her mane has resumed its typical, non-billowing appearance. They share a joyous embrace as Twilight and (Y/N) gallop across the floor. They reach Celestia, who has fallen free of her ceiling cocoon and is sprawled on the tiles. They both help her stand on all four of her hooves.
Princess Celestia: Don't worry about me. I'm fine. You have a real wedding to put together.
The faithful student smiles at this, catching the mingled forgiveness and apology in her mentor's words. However, (Y/N) caught a little bit of slight sadness in her voice as it nearly made him raise an eyebrow.
As time passed on, many royal guards were tending to some of the ponies that were hurt during the changeling invasion on Canterlot including both of the princesses as some ponies needed to be healed after they have been attacked by such evil creatures.
(Y/N) had regained his helmet that Shining Armor gave him and he was currently commanding some of guards that were temporarily his followers to go to specific locations in Canterlot and maintain those positions until the wedding is over.
He then walks inside of the royal palace to go and check up on his friends. Rarity had told (Y/N) that even though he may be a temporarily corporal of the royal guard, that he still needs to dress in style. She told him that she'll be able to make a suit for him just before the wedding starts. As he was walking through the palace however, he heard some soft noises of depression coming from inside of the palace.
(Y/N): Huh? Is someone. . . crying?
(Y/N) then walks closer and closer to where the noises were coming from until he could hear it clear enough to then look inside of a room to see Princess Celestia with a sad look on her face as she also had her crown off of her head levitating it in front of her. (Y/N) was wondering why Celestia was acting like this, so he walks inside.
(Y/N): Celesita?
Hearing (Y/N)'s voice made the said princess jump a little bit surprised before she turns her head to see (Y/N) approaching her.
Princess Celesita: Oh. . . hello (Y/N).
(Y/N): Is everything. . . okay?
Princess Celestia didn't answer that as she still stares at her crown in slight sadness. (Y/N) then sits down right beside her and puts his hoof on her shoulder.
(Y/N): Celestia, I can tell something is wrong and I want to help you out. But I can't if you don't tell me what the problem is.
Princess Celestia stares at her crown some more before looking at (Y/N) with the corner of her eyes before she simply just sighs.
Princess Celestia: (Y/N). . .? Do I. . . seem like a good ruler to you?
(Y/N): Huh? Why do you ask me that?
Princess Celestia: *sighs* Ever since I have been helping ponies out all over Canterlot after the changeling invasion, I've been hearing some very. . . dubious things about me?
(Y/N): Dubious? Like what?
Princess Celestia: Ever since I've started trying to keep a lookout for the threat that was made to Canterlot, ponies from all over the city were depending on me to warn them for when that threat was to come. However, I failed at doing so.
(Y/N) then put on a look of sympathy for Celestia as she knew what she was talking about with the whole invasion happening, she was put on duty as a lookout for when that threat was to come. However, little did they know that the threat was right underneath their noses this entire time.
Princess Celestia: I still feel pretty guilty that I wasn't able to protect my subjects with all of my might as I used to. I even was too stubborn to believe in my most faithful students who kept telling us that the Cadance that was among us was a fake. I tried acting as a competent ruler, but instead I let them down once again.
(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at that in confusion.
(Y/N): Again? You mean you failed somepony before?
Princess Celestia nods solemnly at that as she continues her story.
Princess Celestia: Can I tell you something, (Y/N)? That is. . . if you're willing to listen.
(Y/N): Of course, I'll listen to anything that you can tell me.
Princess Celestia: I. . . used to have a student before Twilight.
(Y/N) was surprised by that.
(Y/N): Really?
Princess Celestia: Yes, she was. . . similar to how Twilight was before she was making friends in Ponyville and even before you returned to Equestria.
(Y/N): What was her name?
Princess Celestia: . . .Her name was Sunset Shimmer. She was another student that I had that looked up to me. However, she was. . . different.
(Y/N): What kind of different?
Princess Celestia: She was more boastful and condescending towards other ponies despite what I taught her about humility and making friends. She was interested in something that I showed her a long time ago and got overly curious from it. I told her that until she's ready, I don't want her to study in the library and instead to start to make friends in Canterlot.
(Y/N): What happened after that?
Princess Celestia: She. . . decided to sneak back into the library behind my back and try to figure out how to become an alicorn princess on her own. I scolded her from disobeying me, but she didn't take my punishing very lightly.
(Y/N) nods from that as he continues to listen to the story.
Princess Celestia: We got into a huge disagreement. However, it got so bad that she got angry and just. . . left Equestria.
(Y/N) was surprised from that.
(Y/N): She left. . . Equestria?
Princess Celestia: Yes. And I felt extremely guilty for not being a better teacher to her. I thought that maybe one day that she would come back to me, but. . . it's never happened for years now.
(Y/N) still just looked at Celestia with a look of sympathy as she put her crown down her a nightstand.
Princess Celestia: When Twilight became my student, I really thought that this would be different than the last time it happened, but. . . it just happened again. I failed to be great mentor to a student of mine.
Princess Celestia then had some tears coming out of her eyes which surprised (Y/N) that this was making her this sad and guilty.
Princess Celestia: *sobbing* I-I I just don't know what's gotten into me. I should've understood her better. I thought I was helping, but I was not. I. . . I. . . I don't know anything about friendship.
Princess Celestia just let out some slight tears expressing how she was feeling right now and (Y/N) didn't want to see her sad like this so he scooted right next to her and hugged her.
(Y/N): Celestia, please don't say that about yourself. Of course you're a great teacher and ruler.
Princess Celestia: But I failed to listen to Twilight when she was warning us about Chrysalis. I don't why I just abandoned somepony who was very loyal to me.
(Y/N) then breaks the hug and takes one of Celestia hooves into his.
(Y/N): Celestia, please. Look at me when I say this.
Princess Celestia looks at (Y/N) still with a really sad look.
(Y/N): Everypony is going to experience these kinds of things in life. We all make accidents, flaws, and mistakes that we can't forgive ourselves for, but we eventually let go of those mistakes as time passes.
Celestia looks down for second before back into (Y/N)'s eyes.
(Y/N): And of course you know things about friendship. It was because of not only my friends, but you as well that Twilight was able to learn about what friendship is in Ponyville. Ask yourself this, did Twilight or even me ever give up on you?
Princess Celestia's eyes widened from that.
(Y/N): No, we didn't. Twilight and I would always respect your aid and guidance whenever we needed it which just goes to show that you've came a long way to becoming an effective mentor Celestia.
Princess Celestia then smiles a little from that.
(Y/N): And you have to know that you'll always end up with a flaw in life, Celestia, but that's just means that we can all learn from it. I mean my mother wasn't perfect either, she had to use all of her power to banish monsters from out of Equestria and she didn't have the ability to help three tribes from Pre-Equestrian time. However, she still tried to fix her mistake of using all of that power and she eventually was able to fix it and she became the very first ruler of all of Equestria. Her mistake was unforgivable, but she fixed it and became a better pony than she was before.
Princess Celestia then goes onto a full smile from that and (Y/N) levitates her crown back on her head.
(Y/N): So, don't let the ponies who ridicule you make you think that you're a bad ruler, Celestia. You just have to show them that next time, you'll be three steps ahead.
Princess Celestia was so touched by (Y/N)'s resolve that she then stood up with a determined look.
Princess Celestia: You're right, (Y/N)! I am Equestria's ruler! If I was able to bring Twilight and everypony up this far, then I can definitely still do it, even with such a flaw that I did!
(Y/N): That's the Princess Celestia that we all know and love!
Princess Celestia then turns to (Y/N) and walks up to him.
Princess Celestia: (Y/N), you definitely have a way with getting ponies to focus on the positive.
(Y/N): *chuckles* What can I say? I just have a pure heart of gold that makes me want to see everypony happy, and that includes you too Celestia.
Princess Celestia blushes from that and get's an idea in her mind as she then got a mischievous look on her face.
Princess Celestia: (Y/N), can you do me a favor?
(Y/N): Sure, what is it?
Princess Celestia: Close your eyes.
(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at that with a confused look.
(Y/N): Huh? Why?
Princess Celestia: Why you ask? *giggles* Let's just say that there are some principles that are better to be done without being seen.
(Y/N) was still a little bit confused by that before he just shrugs his shoulders and closes his eyes.
Before (Y/N) even knew it, he felt this soft sensation on his lips as he instantly open his eyes to see Princess Celestia kissing him and he was just super surprised from that.
Celestia then breaks the kiss and (Y/N) was blushing majorly and stares at Celestia in shock as he had no words to respond with.
Princess Celestia: *giggles* You're probably wondering, why did I steal a kiss? Correction, it was you who was the thief.
(Y/N) stares for a second more before he looks down to the ground with a sheepish smile while rubbing the back of his head.
Princess Celestia: I have a feeling that with your personality, (Y/N). You will have an excellent relationship the other six friends that you have.
(Y/N) looks back up at Princess Celestia and smiles that she would think that.
Princess Celestia: Well now that it appears that we've got everything settled, I believe it is time that we have a real and true wedding, don't you agree?
(Y/N) then gives a determined look and nods.
(Y/N): Absolutely!
Princess Celestia: Well then, let us go and get things prepared.
Both (Y/N) and Princess then walk out of the room together so that they along with everypony can go and get everything else finished for the wedding.
With the real Princess Cadance now in Canterlot, everything can be planned without any interruptions from any changelings or other monsters.
In the castle kitchen, Applejack has switched her hat for a white chef's toque. In front of them are several of the bite-size apple fritters she cooked up. Cadance floats one of these up and eats it, enjoying the taste and licking her chops. Twilight and (Y/N) look on with a grin. The princess eats another one as an item is marked off on the checklist floating in front of the unicorn.
Inside of the suite where Rarity did her work, her rumpled mane, the measuring tape around her shoulders, and the reading glasses perched on her nose indicate the tail end of a serious design marathon. She pulls a full-length mirror up to catch Cadance's reflection, while Twilight watches with her checklist in easy reach and (Y/N) looks on as well. The winged unicorn is now clad in a gold-trimmed white dress similar to that worn by her evil counterpart and Cadance's smile is all the approval the three ponies need, and Twilight cheerfully ticks another box.
In another section, Cadance is holding onto some birds on her hoof and has several others on her mane and tail, being rehearsed by Fluttershy in another room of Canterlot Castle. The yellow Pegasus has a conductor's baton in her teeth to keep the beat. Twilight also checks that off.
Finally, Pinkie and Cadance dance across a confetti-and-streamer-strewn reception area whose tables are stacked high with gifts. Twilight and (Y/N) walk up after them to check off this task. With every box on the parchment filled in, Twilight magically rolls it up and tucks both it and the quill away. She then turns to (Y/N) as they both give each other a nod before grinning at the job well done.
At the wedding hall, everything has been reset for the main event with guests, the Mane 5 as the new bridesmaids, groomsman stallions, Princess Celestia, (Y/N) who was in a (F/C) suit and had his helmet on, and Shining Armor with the addition of Twilight now standing proudly by her brother as his best mare. Twilight was now wearing a magenta dress secured by a star brooch. Her mane has been curled, and she wears a flowered string of white pearls on her head. Spike is seen standing just behind Twilight and off to one side, sporting his top hat and tuxedo jacket and holding a pair of gold rings on a pillow. Noticing that the crest is askew, Twilight gives Shining Armor a brief scowl and straightens it out with her magic. Their parents in the audience watch happily at their own child getting married.
A drum roll is the cue for Fluttershy to give her bird choir the downbeat. Bridal Chorus rings through the hall as all eyes turn toward the rear doors, which are magically opened by the guards on duty so the Cutie Mark Crusaders can enter and scatter flower petals as they did in the first-take wedding. Behind them comes Cadance as the train of her dress stretches at least three times her own body length and requires three pairs of birds to hoist it clear of the floor. Everypony watches with beaming happiness that the bride is coming up. Twilight then turns to Shining Armor.
Twilight Sparkle: Seriously, though. I get why the queen of the changelings wanted to be with you, but how did you get someone as amazing as Cadance to marry you?
Shining Armor: I told her she wouldn't just be gaining a husband. She'd be getting a pretty great sister, too.
She gives him a tickled-pink smile, then turns her eyes front again. As Cadance nears the dais, Rarity's ocular waterworks spring a leak. (Y/N) notices this and offers her a hanky which she excitedly accepts of him. Applejack, meanwhile, whips out her faithful brown hat and plunks it on her head. The music finishes as Cadance mounts the steps to gaze lovingly at Shining Armor, and both turn to face Celestia.
Princess Celestia: Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of the real Princess Mi Amore Cadenza-
Princess Cadance: Princess Cadance is fine.
Princess Celestia: Hm. The union of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. The strength of their commitment is clear. The power of their love, undeniable. May we have the rings please?
Spike takes a step forward and holds up the pillow with two rings, one is set with a line of four diamonds, the other with a single stone. These are floated away and slid onto Cadence's and Shining's horns.
Princess Celestia: I now pronounce you mare and colt!
As cheers erupt, Shining Armor and Cadance step out of the hall between them and onto the balcony. The courtyard below them is jam-packed with celebrating ponies under a rain of confetti and streamers. Back inside of the hall, Princess Celestia addresses to the Mane 7.
Princess Celestia: This is your victory as much as theirs. You persisted in the face of doubt, and your actions led to your being able to bring the real Princess Cadance back to us. Learning to trust your instincts is a valuable lesson to learn. As a certain friend of all of yours would say so himself.
The mares all take a look at (Y/N) when Princess Celestia said that as he rubbed the back of his head and slightly blushed.
Back outside on the balcony, Shining Armor and Cadence share a brief kiss they are so caught up in the moment that Rainbow Dash almost forgot her important task for the wedding. (Y/N) nudges her on the shoulder to get her attention on that.
(Y/N): *whispers* Dash, that's your cue.
The blue daredevil cracks off a slightly crazed grin and zips away, shedding her bridesmaid dress and accessories and taking off into the clear sky above Canterlot. She effortlessly produces a sonic rainboom whose multi-hued blast wave ripples over the city, then traces a rainbow from one side to the other as the crowds cheer mightily.
Rainbow Dash: Best. . . wedding. . . ever!
In a torchlit courtyard under the violet sky of early evening. Shining Armor and Cadance stand face to face in the circular patio at its center, embrace, and share their first dance as a married couple. Luna comes in for a landing next to Celestia and the Mane 7. Twilight then turns to (Y/N) and whispers to him.
Twilight Sparkle: *whispers* Hey, (Y/N). Why don't you sing?
(Y/N) was surprised by that question.
(Y/N): Me? Sing at a wedding?
The rest of the Mane 7 and the princesses heard that as they all face towards (Y/N) as well.
Rarity: Darling, with your stunning voice I think it would make a great ending for this.
Applejack: Ah, agree. Come on, (Y/N).
Pinkie Pie: Yeah, sing! Sing, (Y/N), sing!
(Y/N) then thought to himself for a second before coming up with his answer.
(Y/N): Alright, give me a second.
(Y/N) then walks up to the bride and groom as were both finished dancing and they faced (Y/N).
(Y/N): Shining Armor, Princess Cadance. I hope it's not too much for me to ask if I could sing for this evening.
Shining Armor and Princess Cadance both look at each other with smiles before facing (Y/N) and nodding.
Princess Cadance: Of course, we don't mind at all.
Shining Armor: I'm eager to hear what kind of singing skills you have, (Y/N). Go for it.
(Y/N) grins from that as turns to Pinkie.
(Y/N): Hit it!
Pinkie responds with a squee as she goes over to the DJ's double turn table that was also operated by Vinyl Scratch and she slaps a record from her teeth onto the unoccupied turntable and drops the needle in the groove.
Pinkie Pie: Let's get this party started!
Pinkie grabs a microphone in her teeth and slings it across the courtyard. (Y/N) catches it with his telekinesis so that it floats in front of his mouth.
Song: Song of Hope - Crush 40
(Y/N): I can't believe just what I see
Even though it's staring back at me
This can't be true, maybe make believe
It's so impossible, the things in front of me
Time stands still and tears fall like rain
I'm holding on to anything
To anything and everything
Sing for hope, sing for dreams
Stand together, that's what it means
Sing for love; it's all I can do
This is a Song of Hope for you
I'll sing it for you
You
I'll sing it for you
Lend me your hands, lend me your voice
Lend me your ears to hear the silence in the noise
Shine down on me, shine down on you
Just lean on faith for greater things that this can do
We'll pave a strong road winding down from where we've been
Holding on to anything
To anything and everything
I can feel your fear, yeah, I feel it
Knowing you're not alone, hope you feel it
And with my voice, and with my voice
I'll sing for you, for you!
Song of Hope, Song of Dreams
That's what it means
That's what it means!
Sing for dreams
Stand together, that's what it means
Sing for love; it's all I can do
This is a Song of Hope for you
I'll sing it for you
Sing it for you
I'll sing, I'll sing, I'll sing
Song of Hope for you
Song of Hope for you!
With the song being finished, the hour is considerably late, and Shining and Cadance walk to the carriage and the waiting Twilight who opens it for them.
Shining Armor: Twily, I must say that you have such a wonderful group of friends.
Twilight Sparkle: *chuckles* They're the greatest friends that I could ever ask for. Even if they make some of the biggest mistakes, I'll always still know that they'll be by my side.
Princess Cadance: That's wonderful, Twilight.
Princess Cadance then gives a mischievous glance at Shining Armor and he was confused by that at first before he got what she was implying.
Shining Armor: Maybe I won't just be the only sibling getting married soon enough. What do think Twily?
He said that not so subtly as it made Twilight raise an eyebrow.
Twilight Sparkle: Huh?
Princess Cadance: Hmm. . . I wonder that as well Shining Armor. Twilight's looks to be ready to get herself a stallion for herself one day.
Twilight Sparkle: Wait, what?!
Shining Armor: I wonder who she'll choose though.
Princess Cadance: Oh, I'm sure she'll marry somepony very special. Somepony brave, handsome. . . and (C/C).
Twilight then knew what they were implying as she blushed a little before playfully smirking at them.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, no you two don't. I'm perfectly fine being single and I have no interest in (Y/N) whatsoever thank you very much.
Shining Armor and Princess Cadance: Sure you don't~.
All three of them laugh at that before the bride goes into the car, Shining Armor decides to say one last thing to Twilight however before going off with Cadance.
Shining Armor: Still, none of this would've been possible without you, little sis. Love ya, Twily.
Twilight Sparkle: Love you too, B.B.B.F.F.
The siblings embrace for a long moment and after they separate, Shining Armor climbs into the carriage, closes the door, and sits next to Cadence.
Shining Armor: Ready to go?
Princess Cadance: Oh! Almost forgot.
Cadance leans out the window, bouquet at the ready, and heaves it backward over the roof. Lyra, Minuette, and Twinkleshine look up eagerly, but Rarity plows them all aside before a single hoof can leave the ground.
Rarity: IT'S MINE!
It lands neatly in her outstretched forelegs, earning her a round of very dirty looks. She laughs nervously and floats it away from herself as if it had just gone radioactive.
The Mane 6 then watch the carriage roll away as they all smile at seeing the bride and the groom drive off.
Twilight Sparkle: Now this was a great wedding.
Spike: Oh, yeah? Just wait until you see what I have planned for the bachelor party!
His knowing snicker only gets him a lot of funny looks with the result of his complete lack of knowledge about how and when this particular event should have taken place. All but Twilight promptly break out in a fit of the giggles as she crumples to the ground out of embarrassment, but joins in the laughter a moment later. She then notices that one pony isn't around.
Twilight Sparkle: Hey, where's (Y/N)?
Twilight then looks around for the said alicorn as he was nowhere to be seen at the moment. That is until she spots him up on top of a balcony and she decides to go and see him.
Up at the balcony where (Y/N) was, he was just gazing out into the late evening sky peacefully by himself and sighs.
Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), what are you doing up here?
(Y/N) turns to see Twilight.
(Y/N): Oh, nothing much. Just. . . look at this beautiful night sky.
Twilight then walks up next to (Y/N) to gaze out at the sky with him.
(Y/N): You know, I sometimes like to think that those stars are just magical.
Twilight Sparkle: Magical?
(Y/N): Yeah, every time I gaze out in this beautiful night sky I always think to myself. . . maybe there's something here in Equestria that's just extraordinary to me. Something that I feel like I need in my life one day. I just can't put my hoof on what it is.
Twilight looks at (Y/N) with concern in her eyes.
(Y/N): I mean I came to Equestria to make friends, but. . . what if I could have more than just friends. And I mean we've already just saw a wedding today together, but I just keep thinking to myself. . . who am I going to catch feelings for first?
Twilight was surprised from that before she decides to take (Y/N) hoof into hers which made him look at her.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, if I were to answer that (Y/N), I would definitely say that they could be somepony that would always be by your side no matter what.
(Y/N) smiles from that as they both still stare out at the night sky with one another as ponies were down at the streets chattering, but they ignored as it all felt like a moment for both of them.
Twilight Sparkle: You're right, the night sky is magical.
(Y/N) then smirks at Twilight.
(Y/N): It's almost as magical as you.
Twilight giggles and blushes from that. Both her and (Y/N) then face one another with smiles on their faces. The night sky glitters around both of them as they felt like that could be flying with each other in deep space. They then both leaned their faces in slowly towards each other and they were inching closer and closer. However, just as they were about to kiss. . .
A familiar pink party pony appears from above.
Pinkie Pie: Hey! What's going on here?
Both of them immediately jerk back from each other.
Twilight Sparkle and (Y/N): Nothing!
Pinkie Pie: Come on you two, this chapter and book is coming to an end. We need to celebrate the wedding together!
Twilight Sparkle: Uh. . . yeah, sure. Whatever that means.
Pinkie Pie: Okie-dokie-lokie! See you guys back at the bottom!
Pinkie then jumps off of the ceiling and both Twilight and (Y/N) look at each other before chuckling.
(Y/N): She's right though, we should go back to our friends before they get even more worried.
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, let's go back.
Twilight walks ahead of (Y/N) and he follows right behind her. However, what Twilight didn't notice was that (Y/N) had a blush on his face that was about her and he had a thought in his mind.
(Y/N): (Wow, what is this? Every time I'm around Twilight like this, my heart just beats faster. I honestly can say the same thing happens for when I'm with the other girls, but I never really thought that it would come to me liking them more romantically. Am I getting a crush on them. . . no way! I think I'm in love with all of them. . . and I like it.)
Final Chapter End.
