15. Chapter 14:fight at the Crystal Empire

Underground, Chloe cowered in the drakness and she called "Hello?" and her calls echoed, revealing to her that she's in an underground cave, and when she began to walk aimlessly in the dark underground cave, she called "Is anyone there?", but then she bumped against a rocky wall, but then she heard an evil laugh that can be heard from something like a mile away, and this made Chloe cower some more before she asked "Where am I?".

However, just then, an image of Shining Armor suddenly appeared on her left out of nowhere and then he said "The caves beneath the Crystal Empire. Once home for cruel and heartless ponies whom are known to hate and misuse friendship for the most.", and then it disappeared and reappeared behind Chloe and then he added "And now - your prison, filthy human girl!", as he looked at her with an evil smile, causing Chloe to turn to see him, and then she ran away from the image and cried "Help! Help! Help me!", but then the image said as it disappeared and reappeared on Chloe's right "It's no use! It's useless! Nopony and no other creature can hear you down here, and no one will ever think to look for you either!".

Then, the image of Shining Armor disappeared and reappeared above Chloe and then he said evilly "Most ponies and most non-ponies have completely forgotten that these caves even exists, which is why they are the ideal place to keep the ones trying to interfere with my plans!", and then he burst into an evil laughter as he pointed a hoof down at Chloe, and then she asked him "Plans? what plans?", and he said to her back "The plans I have for your mother, of course, stupid human girl!".

However, this made Chloe clench her hands into fists as she looked up at Shining Armor's image, and then she shouted angrily at him "Don't you dare do anything to my mother, you, you monster!", but the image laughed at her and then he said "The only way you can stop me it's to catch me!", and then he laughed again as he disappeared and reappeared behind Chloe, and then he called for her "Over here, human girl!", and this made Chloe run as fast as she could towards him and she readied her fists so she can punch him in the face as she looked at the image with an angry face, but then the image of Shining Armor disappeared before she can punch him, thus causing her to punch against one of the walls of the cave instead.

Then, the image suddenly appeared below her feet and then he said evilly "No! Over here, human girl!" and then he laughed as Chloe cowered in fear, before he disappeared and reappeared once again in front of her, and this made Chloe to chase after Shining Armor's evil image, but then he disappeared one last and stopped reappearing around Chloe, but his evil laughs are still heard throughout the caves.

Chloe became fully enraged and angered and so she began to punch and kick against one of the cave's walls until it suddenly broke off, and this created a hole and an opening which leads into another part of the cave, but she also saw a bruised, wounded and a bit scared Shining Armor sitting down right in front of her, and this made Chloe look at him with rage and madness burning in her eyes as she clenched her hands into fists once again, and she readied herself to attack the Shining Armor who was sitting down in front of her.

When the bruised, wounded and the bit scared Shining Armor saw Chloe charging at him, he cried "No! Please, wait!", but Chloe ignored what he said and she charged at him and tackled him to the ground, causing defend his face behind his own hooves in an atempt to protect himself and he said "Please, dont hurt me!", but when he looked up at Chloe and saw her face-to-face as she looked down at him with an angry face, Shining Armor said to her "Chloe, it's me! I know you!", and this shocked and confused the human girl to see that the Shining Armor she tackled down actually knows who she is, and then she asked him "Wait, how do you know who I am?".

Then, Shining Armor said to her as he tried to introduce himself "Please, Chloe! Listen to me! I know who you are! I'm the real Shining Armor! I'm been imprisoned like you! The Shining Armor who insulted you and brought you down here was an imposter!", but Chloe didn't believed him and so she said to him back "Likely story!" as she gave him a sour face, believing he's lying to her.

However, Shining Armor slowly got away from Chloe, and then he stood up on his hooves, and then he used his magic and lit his horn in a magenta aura, and when Chloe saw his meganta magic glowing from his horn, she realized he's the real Shining Armor, because when she also looked close into his eyes, she saw that they didn't changed their color into a malevolent red and that instead they're blue and looking friendly and kind, and these clearly proved to her that the Shining Armor she just encountered in the caves is the real Shining Armor, proving that the one who insulted her, had red magic and eyes and brought her down to the caves was an imposter, and this made her smile as she looked at the real Shining Armor, who smiled at her as she realized he's the real one.

Then, Chloe jumped on Shining Armor and she wrapped both of her arms around his neck and she began to hug him and then she said to the Unicorn stallion "You really know me!", and then he sat down on his haunches and he wrapped his front hooves around Chloe and then he said to her "Of course I do! My wife, Cadance, and I wanted to see you after what we heard from ponies who live in Ponyville and in Canterlot about you that you're a good human! This gave me and Cadance the idea of having you as Flurry Heart's foal-sitter while we're doing our royal duties and while Twilight and her friends were all teaching at the School of Friendship!", and then he added "I'll never do you any harm on purpose, and I won't insult you for being a human! I truly like you, just like my wife, Cadance, does! You're indeed a good human and you can be trusted by all of ponykind! Everypony should like you for the most for you being the first good human who arrived in our world!".

However, after Shining Armor said all of these good things to Chloe, the two suddenly heard the imposter's evil laughter echoing through the caves, and when Shining Armor alooked behind Chloe's back, he saw a sparkle of light at the horizon, and then he and Chloe let go of each other and then Shining Armor's face became determined, and when Chloe got to his side, she said to him "We gotta get out of here!", and he nodded as they began to travel together in the caves, and then Chloe added "We have to stop him!" as she and Shining Armor continued to travel as fast as they could inside the caves in an attempt to find their way out.

Meanwhile, the false Shining Armor managed to use his magic to brainwash Cadance to make her forbid Chloe from becoming Flurry Heart's foal-sitter and also to consider her as an enemy for being a human, and the mane eight didn't noticed what he's doing because they're too caught up in their duties and missions he gave them, thus they couldn't and wouldn't be able to see his deception.

Back at the caves, Chloe and the real Shining Armor were both still traveling together throughout the caves in an attempt to find a way out, but when they finally got close to find their way out of the caves, they're suddenly got cornered by three random stallions whom are an Earth pony, a Unicorn and a pegasus, and the three said to them in unison "You're not going anywhere!", as they looked at them both with their eyes glowing red, because the false Shining Armor managed to use his magic to brainwash and control the minds of these three stallions and then he teleported them to the caves to prevent from Chloe and from the real Shining Armor from escaping the caves.

Back at the Crystal Empire, the false Shining Armor, the now brainwashed Cadance, the mane eight and Flurry Heart were in the throne room, with the false Shining Armor talking to the mane eight about that Chloe will never be accepted at the Crystal Empire anymore, and he also added that she's dangerous to Flurry Heart and to all other baby foals, and he also added that he's going to take care of Flurry Heart all by himself.

However, just then, Chloe cried and called "I'm back, my friends!" as she suddenly appeared at the opening of the throne room, and this made the false Shining Armor ask in anger "How dare she comes back here after what I said about humans don't belong at the Crystal Empire?!", but when everypony (except for the still-brainwashed Cadance) turned to him, he tried to fake a cry and he showed fake tears in his eyes as he said on Chloe yet another insult "How dare she comes back here to steal my precious daughter?!", and then he let out a fake cry, but then the real Shining Armor said to him "Because, she's not YOUR precious daughter! She's MINE!" and then he appeared at the opening of the throne room and he stood be Chloe's side with a determined face.

Everypony looked shocked as they saw the real Shining Armor standing by Chloe's side, before the imposter asked "What?! but how did you escaped my stallions?!", and then Shining Armor and Chloe looked at each other with smiles on their face, and then a flashback revealed how did they managed to escape the three brainwashed stallions - Shining Armor used his magic to create an illusion of a mare, and then he made the stallions to fall in love with the illusion, and then he sent the mare-shaped illusion away, causing the three stallions to chase after the fake magic-made mare as they all cried in unison "I WANT HER!", and once the stallions were distracted and they're gone, Shining Armor and Chloe were able to escape the caves and come back to the Crystal Empire, thus proving how they both managed to get back to the Crystal Empire in the first place.

Then, the false Shining Armor said to both Chloe and the real Shining Armor "Clever, but you're still not going to have your wife and your daughter!", and then Applejack asked in confusion "I don't understand - how can there be two of them?", and then the real Shining Armor explained "His name is Lysander, the shape-shifting crocodile!" and then he added "He hates humans and he even hates ponies and non-ponies, and he used his magical abilities to impersonate me and insult, taunt and abuse Chloe for being a human!", and this made the imposter growl in anger as his eyes turned red and his horn began to glow in a malevolently red magic aura, and then he began to engulf himself in his own magic, thus slowly dropping his disguise and showing to Chloe, Shining Armor and to everypony his true form, before he let out an evil laugh and then he said to Shining Armor after he transformed back to his true form "Right you are, captain of the royal guards!".

Then, Lysander the shape-shifting crocodile said with an evil smile on his face "And as the king of my crocodile float, it's up to me to find food for my family!", and then said as he slowly approached Chloe and Shining Armor "Humans are the most hated creatures I've ever met and ever known! My crocodile float will be able to DEVOUR that little human girl, and they'll receive a good meal for a while that they've ever dreamed of! That human girl is probably as tasty and as fresh as all young animals and other creatures my float and I always used to eat!", but Shining Armor stood in front of Chloe to defend and protect her as he loked at Lysander in the eyes and then he said back to him "I'll never let you eat Chloe, you heartless beast! Neither Cadance will let you do this!", but the evil shape-shifting crocodile laughed evilly and then he said "I completely doubt it!" and then he turned to the still-brainwashed Cadance and then he said to her as he used his magic from inside his mind which caused his forehead to glow in a red light "Isn't that right, my dear?", and Cadance nodded as she was now under Lysander's total control, thus shocking Chloe, Shining Armor and the mane eight.

Then, Lysander said to Cadance "Now, Cadance, make yourself useful to me.", and then he added "Blast Shining Armor and eliminate that little human girl! NOW!", and Cadance said as she was brainwashed by Lysander's magic "As you wish, my king.", and then she took off into the air and then she began to blast at Shining Armor, who had no choice but fight his own wife to protect Chloe from her, but after a short fight with Shining Armor, Cadance came out the winner as she managed to blast Shining Armor and knock him aside, thus allowing her to eliminate Chloe.

Then, Cadance descended back to floor and then she slowly began to approach Chloe while looking at her with a brainwashed face, and then she began to attack and harm Chloe on behalf of Lysander, and after slapping and kicking at Chloe for about a minute, she managed to knock Chloe down, and then she tried to use her magic to blast at Chloe and eliminate her, but then Shining Armor jumped on her and knocked her away from Chloe, thus allowing Twilight and Rainbow Dash to get her away from the fight.

Then, Shining Armor managed to get her right onto her back, and then he cried to her "Cadance, please! Snap out of it! You're not supposed to do this!", but she angrily cried "Shining Armor! Be gone!", and then she tried to blast at him with her magic to eliminate him, but then Flurry Heart was heard screaming "MAMA STOP!" and then she managed to get to her parents to help Shining Armor get Cadance out of Lysander's magic control, and then she began to hug Cadance around her neck, causing Cadance to not blast at Shining Armor as she slowly looked at her daughter, who hugged her and showed tears rolling down her eyes as she begged her mother to snap out of Lysander's magic.

Then, Flurry Heart and Shining Armor used their magic together to help Cadance snap out of her brainwashing, and their love to her was strong enough to break Lysander's evil spell off Cadance. Then, Cadance shook her head as she finally snapped out of her brainwashing and then she asked "What happened? Is everypony okay?", and Chloe and everypony smiled before Lysander jumped in front of Cadance, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart and then said with an evil smile "It's all okay, Cadance!", and then he laughed evilly at the stallion, mare and their baby filly, before he started to approach them.

Then, Lysander managed to turn with his backside to them and then he wiped them away with his tail, and then he turned to the mane eight and Chloe, and then he began to charge towards them to get the human girl from them, but Spike used his ability to spit fire at Lysander's face to force him to step aback, before the young dragon used his ability to fly up and then he struck down at the evil crocodile's head, causing Lysander to roar in pain as he shook his head before he managed to wipe Spike away with his tail, thus sending him back towards Chloe and the mares, knocking Chloe out of Twilight and Rainbow Dash's hold, and giving Lysander the advantage to finally eat her for lunch.

However, before Lysander could eat Chloe, Cadance swooped down and landed in front of Chloe and she looked at the evil crocodile with an angry face, and then she angrily said to him "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU IMPERSONATING MY HUSBAND AND BRAINWASHING ME JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE CHLOE FOR LUNCH?!", and then she added "YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR DISGUSTING DECEPTION, YOU HORRIBLE SCALY BEAST!" and then she punched Lysander on the side of his head and face, thus knocking one of his teeth right out of his mouth and jaws, causing him to snarl in pain as he shook his head from side to side in an attempt to shake off the pain, but then Cadance scooped Chloe up in her hooves and then she tried to fly up in an attempt to get away with her from Lysander, but he managed to jump up into the air and clamp with his jaws right on Cadance's tail and then tried to pull her back down, but then Twilight used her magic to blast at Lysander's head as she shouted "Get your evil jaws off my sister-in-law!", and then she managed to blast at Lysander's left eye, thus temporarily blinding him and so he let go of Cadance who took and carried Chloe with her to safety.

Then, Cadance put Chloe with Rainbow Dash and the other mares before she joined Twilight in the fight against Lysander, and then she angrily said "And for good measure!" before she blasted with her magic at Lysander's right eye, thus temporarily blinding him completely as right now he couldn't see anything, and then Shining Armor used his magic to blast at Lysander's scaly and thick hide until he began to get through and under the skin, thus almost making it to the flesh and Lysander snarled and roared in pain as he felt the pain poking through his hide, and so had no choice but to run away from the Crystal Palace, but before he left, the evil crocodile said to Chloe and to the ponies "I'll get you all next time and I'll have the human girl for lunch! Just wait and see!", and then he began to crawl and run away from the Crystal Palace and then from the Crystal Empire and all the way back to his float which was living in one of the darkest forests in all of Equestria.

With Lysander gone, Cadance turned to Chloe and she asked her "Are you okay, Chloe?", and the human girl answered "Yes, of course, but look down to your hooves!", and Shining Armor asked her "Why?", and Chloe pointed down to the floor as she saw the crocodile tooth that Lysander have left behind and then she said "Because you must see this!", and then when everypony looked down to their hooves, they all saw the crocodile tooth that Lysander have left behind, and then Shining Armor said "Oh, now I see! That's one of Lysander's teeth, isn't it?", and Twilight added "It's so huge, and sharp!", and then Cadance added "I've never seen a crocodile tooth before!", and the Flurry Heart used her magic to surround the crocodile tooth in a light yellow aura and then she levitated it up into the air and then she slowly moved it towards herself so she can touch it, but she also tried to avoid being stabbed by the sharp tip of the crocodile tooth, because crocodile teeth were big, sharp and extremly dangerous, and after Flurry Heart moved the crocodile tooth in 360 degrees to scan and study it, she moved the crocodile tooth away from herself and then she placed it down at Chloe's feet.

Chloe looked down at the crocodile tooth and then she asked "What are you giving me that for?", and Flurry Heart said while talking just like other baby foals "Dis is 4 yu, kloe! dat's a gift from me! tek it 4 yurself!", and Chloe who barely understood a half of what the baby Alicorn said decided to lower down and take the crocodile tooth as she realized that Flurry heart is giving her the crocodile tooth as a gift, and so Chloe decided to keep the crocodile tooth as one of her first things she just received in Equestria.

Then, Chloe said "Thank you! Thank you all!", and then she said "I've never received such nice and respecting manners from you three, and so I decided to include you too in my family, just as I already did with Celestia being my mother, Luna being my main auntie, and also with Twilight and with her friends too!", and then she added "I'd like to have you, Shining Armor, as my uncle for being nice to me, unlike Lysander who impersonated you, and for helping me escape from the caves with you so we can expose his deception! Thank you, uncle Shining Armor!", and the Unicorn stallion gave a warm smile to her and said "I like being called an uncle by you! You're the nicest human I've ever met!", and then Chloe said to him "Thank you, uncle Shining Armor!".

Then, she turned to Cadance and then she said to her "Thank you for being nice to me too, except for the part when Lysander had brainwashed you! But still thank you for saving me from getting eaten alive by that evil shape-shifting crocodile! Without you, I would be ending up as crocodile food!", and then she added "In return for what you did for me, I'd like to have you, Cadance, as another one of my aunties, just like Twilight and her friends!", and the Alicorn mare gave a warm smile to her and said "Thank you for calling me your new auntie! You're the most nicest human who ever looked up to and loved everypony, including me!", and then Chloe said to her "Thank you, auntie Cadance!".

Then, Chloe turned to Flurry Hear and then she said to her "Thank you for being nice to me too, and also for showing love and respect for me, even if I'm a human! By the way, I'm so happy you even gave me a gift, which is actually Lysander's tooth! I've never had a crocodile tooth before, and it's because my cruel and heartless human family told me that I'll never receive that or anything else as a gift, and they only looked down to me and left me behind to fend for myself!", and then she added "You looked up to me and even showed the respect I truly deserve, and in return I'd like to have you as my cousin for your nice and playful attitude!", and this made the baby Alicorn giggle as she looked up at Chloe, before she flew right onto her and hugged her chest, and Chloe looked down at her and hugged her too and she said to her "Thank you for what you did for me, Flurry Heart, my new cousin!", and this made the baby Alicorn to kiss the human girl on the cheek, before she and Chloe let go of each other and then Flurry Heart flew back to her parents.

Then, Twilight said "It's so nice to see you three bonding with Chloe like this, but I think it's time for us to go back home!", and then Rainbow Dash added "Yeah, that's right!", and then Chloe and the mane eight said goodbye to Cadance, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart, and then Chloe waved for them before she and the mane eight left the Crystal Palace, and after they all went out of the Crystal Empire and went to the train station, they bought tickets to get on the train back to Canterlot.

Once they're all back in Canterlot, Chloe and the mane eight went back to the royal castle, and at the throne room, Chloe is reunited with her mother and main auntie, Celestia and Luna, and she explained to them about her crazy adventures she had in the Crystal Empire and how she and the mane eight had to fight a new villain known as Lysander the shape-shifting crocodile, who impersonated Shining Armor and tried to have her as his lunch, but thanks to the real Shining Armor, Lysander is defeated and she received one of his teeth as a gift, much to Celestia and Luna's amazement.

When nighttime came, everypony went back to their homes and fell asleep, and so Chloe went back to her bedroom to go to sleep too, and once she's lying down on her bed and with the blanket covering her body, Chloe finally closed her eyes and fell asleep, but inside her mind, she hoped that one day she'll gain in Equestria the one and only thing she's still missing the most - a new father.
