"So, let me get this straight. That dudette was the former queen of a group of creatures called changelings that could take on the appearance of anyone and feed off the love of others like leeches. She tried to kill you several times and in her last attempt, a friend of yours turned her entire hive against her. Isn't that right?" asked Natsu as he and everyone else stood in the throne room of the palace, with Chrysalis chained in the center along with several guards.

"Yes, that's exactly what you said." said Spike.

"But if she's a former queen, why are you treating her like a criminal?" asked Natsu.

That made everyone fall into anime style.

The next instant, Rainbow Dash grabbed him by the scarf and started shaking him violently.

"Didn't you just say a moment ago that she tried to kill us several times?!" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Leave it, that's Natsu for you." said Happy.

"You have a lot of nerve coming back here after what you did." said Candance.

"And even more so if you willingly gave yourself up to ask for an audience with us." said Shining Armor.

"Believe me, asking you for an audience was the last thing I would want in life, but circumstances forced my hand." said Chrysalis.

"Which ones? That you got tired of trying to get revenge and whatnot?" asked Applejack.

"Of course not! I would never give it up!" exclaimed Chrysalis angrily before calming down to focus. "No, that's not it. You see, a couple of days ago, I was in the forest plotting my revenge against you all…"

"Typical crazy villainess." commented Rarity.

"When all of a sudden, some strange guys cornered me and captured me. They took me to a cave where they were interrogating and torturing me, as you can see on me." said Chrysalis pointing to the marks on her body. "I managed to escape from them, but not before I learned of their plans."

"What kind of plans?" asked Fluttershy.

"To dominate our world." said Chrysalis causing the audience to gasp in surprise.

"Pff. Yeah, right. Like we're going to believe that. Who's to say this isn't one of your hoaxes to catch us off guard and kill us." said Rainbow Dash.

"If I wanted that, I would have done it by now and I wouldn't be in this situation." said Chrysalis raising one of her chained paws. "Whether you believe me or not is up to you, but what I say is true."

"You know? I think she's telling the truth." said Twilight.

"What? How can you say that after what she did to you at the wedding?" asked Shining Armor.

"I know, but still, we know Chrysalis is too proud to give in to the enemy and warn us of that danger." said Twilight.

"I hate to admit it, but she's right. I'd rather die than kneel before you." said Chrysalis.

"Okay, let's suppose it's true about a group of strangers planning to attack Equestria. What can you tell us?" asked Candance.

"I wouldn't know what to say, but what I am sure of, is that those creatures look quite a bit like those with you." said Chrysalis turning her gaze to the Earthland mages.

"Wait, you mean you saw humans like us?" asked Gray.

"No, they were much more different than you. I'd say even scarier." said Chrysalis.

"Can you give us a visual image of what they looked like?" asked Levy.

Despite not liking the situation, Chrysalis used her powers to transform into every demon she knew and needless to say, everyone present was in shock at what each one looked like.

"W-what were those things?" asked Spike.

"So that's what it is." said Erza.

"Erza?" asked Lisanna.

"Remember those guys we fought before we came to this world?" asked Erza of Team Natsu.

"Yes, what about that?" asked Wendy.

"When we fought them, I had a feeling I had before." said Erza.

"What do you mean?" asked Lucy.

"It was the same feeling as when we fought Tartaros." said Erza to the horror of the other mages.

"What's this about Tartaros? Is that some kind of pie from your world?" asked Pinkie Pie innocently.

"No. Tartaros was one of the most powerful dark guilds in our world." said Mirajane.

"It was powerful because all of its members were true demons." said Gajeel.

Needless to say, the Mane 6 and the royal family let out a gasp of horror upon hearing that.

"D-D-D-demons?" asked Fluttershy trembling with fear.

"Yes, they were such strong opponents that we almost lost our lives in the battle." said Elfman.

"Juvia still remembers how terrible it was to fight them." said Juvia.

"There were even some sacrifices in the process." said Lily before the three dragon slayers lowered their heads in sadness as they remembered what happened at the end of the battle against that dark guild.

"Now that you mention it, their leader said that they were demons from the dark guild 'Hellish War Horse'." said Chrysalis.

"What? I thought all demons were members of Tartaros." said Natsu.

"So did I." said Happy.

"I guess they didn't all share the same remit." said Levy.

"That doesn't matter now. What matters is that there are demons in this world and they want to take it over." said Erza.

That made all the ponies present fill with worry as they had just learned that a group of demons were going to attack Equestria.

"No, no, no, no, no, no. We have to do something! We have to warn Celestia and Luna! Organize the troops! Prepare for evacuations!" exclaimed Twilight on the verge of panic.

"Hold on, Twilight. Even if I agree with you that we need to act, we don't know anything about the plans of that… dark guild." said Candance.

"Do you know anything else that might help us fight them?" asked Erza.

"Well, the truth is that one of them did something in my head, as if she got into it and that's how she got all the information of this world. Fortunately, when I escaped, I was also able to learn something else." said Chrysalis.


Flashback

Chrysalis had managed to escape her cell thanks to her transformation powers and was now passing through the cave turned into a fly to avoid detection by the demons, but before she took the path to leave.

"Why are we going to attack that place precisely?" asked Thimchid from a distance. Feeling curious, Chrysalis moved closer to listen to the conversation between the demon ant and the demon genie. "Why don't we attack Canterlot if that's where the rulers reside?"

"According to Hitlin, representatives of the elements of harmony live in that village and if what we got from the prisoner is true, they pose an obstacle to our plans, so it would be the proper thing to do to finish them off first." said Genguar.

Thimchid let out a frustrated sigh as she saw that he was right.

"Okay. Okay. What was the name of that town?" asked Thimchid.

"The town we are going to attack is called…" began Genguar.


"Ponyville." said Chrysalis finishing the sentence.

That made everyone gasp in horror at that information. In fact, Fluttershy couldn't help but faint at it.

"WHAT?! They're going to attack Ponyville?!" asked Applejack in shock.

"Why? If our people haven't done anything." said Pinkie Pie.

"No, it makes sense. After all, you told us that the elements of harmony were very powerful items that you used to defeat your most powerful enemies." said Lucy.

"And those demons want to destroy you so you won't try to use those elements against them." said Erza.

"So what are we going to do now?" asked Rarity.

"I'll tell you what we're going to do." started Natsu getting everyone's attention. "We're going to fight them and beat the crap out of them." said Natsu slamming his fist wrapped in flames into his palm.

"If they want war, we'll give it to them." said Gray raising his fist to his eye level.

"I agree, guys. I'm going to beat the crap out of those demons and show them who they're messing with." said Rainbow Dash.

"They're right. We can't just stand around now that we know all this. We must act immediately." said Twilight with a face of determination.

"I will inform the princesses to deploy their troops to Ponyville." said Candance.

"In the meantime I will lead my troops to help in any way possible." said Shining Armor.

"We warn you that the demons in our world are very powerful." said Mirajane.

"But if you want to fight to protect your world, that is your right." said Erza.

"I want to fight too." said Chrysalis.

"And how do we know you won't betray us to join them?" asked Applejack suspiciously.

"After what they've done to me, I'd rather ally myself with a worm." said Chrysalis.

"The enemy of the enemy is my friend." said Levy.

"Very well, you will go with my troops, but we will keep an eye on you and if you attempt any suspicious moves, you will wish you had stayed in the dungeons." said Shining Armor.

"Noted." said Chrysalis.

"Then let's waste no time. Let's get moving!" declared Erza.


Soon after, several things happened.

Candance sent a message to princesses Celestia and Luna informing them of the presence of demons in Equestria and that they were going to attack Ponyville before attacking the rest of the world.

Faced with this, the two princesses didn't take long to gather all the available soldiers to go with them to Ponyville as quickly as possible. The same thing was happening on the side of the Crystal Empire, where Shining Armor led a battalion of soldiers together with Chrysalis to go to Ponyville.

Faced with the situation, Twilight decided to use a teleportation spell to send her and the others to Ponyville in a flash. Upon arriving there, everyone set off to evacuate everyone announcing them of an enemy attack.

At the same time as the civilians were leaving, soldiers from both sides were arriving and getting ready. Needless to say, Celestia and Luna were a little dubious about the fact that they were going to fight on Chrysalis' side, but, as Levy had said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so, for the time being, they signed a truce.

What no one knew was that, nearby, there was a fly observing everything, but looking at it closely, you could see that this fly had a demonic aspect.

After observing the situation for a while, the demon fly flew off somewhere.

Later, the demon fly had reached a cave where it landed on a finger, but it wasn't just any finger, it was Thimchid's finger and it seemed to be understanding what the demon fly was saying with its buzzing sounds.

"We have a problem." said Thimchid drawing the attention of the other demons present in the tub room. "Just as we suspected, our prisoner went to alert the authorities of this world and they have congregated in the town we are going to attack."

"Tch. So what? A bunch of ponies in armor won't be hard for us to defeat." said Mathisa.

"Huhuhu. They'll drop like flies before our power." said Pinkais before his mask turned to give a sad face. "But that will make things boring."

"That's not all. From what I've been informed, you seem to have additional help." said Thimchid.

"From who? The dragons or the new changelings?" asked Mathisa.

"No. The help is coming from those mages we fought before we got here." said Thimchid to the surprise of the listeners. "And not only that, more mages have come here and they are all part of the Fairy Tail guild."

"What? You mean the mages who defeated Tartaros are here?" asked Whamplash very surprised.

"That we certainly didn't expect." said Genguar.

"What should we do, Hitlin? Should we change our plans?" asked Mathisa.

"No, we will follow the original plan." said Hitlin with a relaxed smile.

"Are you sure? I remind you that that guild wiped out the most powerful demons. Considered the Nine Gates of Hell." said Thimchid.

"And what does that have to do with anything? We are not them. If those mages want to go and fight us face to face, let them do it. We'll be waiting for them." said Hitlin.

"Yes! I want to face those mages and devour them!" said Whamplash with a demonic grin.

"It will be the proper way to avenge master Torafuzar." said Genguar.

"They will have nothing to do against our power." said Mathisa.

"Huhuhu. This is going to be really, really, really fun!" said Pinkais before his mask turned to give a sad face. "I'm a little nervous now, though."

"So Fairy Tail will be participating in this war. Good. That'll make things more interesting." declared Hitlin as his eyes began to emit a blood red glow.
