When Mario and Twilight hit the ground, F.L.U.D.D. instantly transformed to the Rocket Nozzle, and Mario tried blasting off to get out of the mines, but as soon as he reached the top, the hole had fully closed, and Mario ended up hitting his head, and falling down to the ground. Twilight saw this, and yelled out,"Mario!" before having her horn light up and slowed down his descent. "Thanks, Twilight!" said Mario as he started to rub the back of his head. "No problem. Actually, there IS a problem. How are we going to get out of here?" "I don't know, but she can't get away with this." "Actually, I can, and I will." Said Cadence as her face appeared on a crystal with it lighting up. "You know, I really have to thank you for your little suspicions, because it just made everypony believe me even more! They won't listen to a word you say, and can care less about where you are!" Cadence then let out a evil laugh as Twilight tried shooting off a charged shot from her horn, but it bounced off and was bouncing off of other crystals for a few seconds before finally hitting the one that had Cadence on it. She then appeared on another crystal as she taunted the duo, prompting Mario to punch the crystal, causing it to shatter. She then kept appearing and reappearing on different crystals, with Mario and Twilight alternating between hitting them. Then, there was one more crystal left, and Mario ran up to it and performed his fire burst(Side smash attack) and the entire crystal fell down, and take one wild guess who was inside?
As SOON as Mario saw Cadence, he exploded with rage. "Great, you found me! Now all we need to do is find a way out of here and-" Mario then tackled her, causing her to stop her sentence short. Mario then got on top of her, and held a fireball in his hand, getting ready to slam it onto Cadence's face. "Got you, you little faker! Now, I'm gonna show you what you put us through you with this fireball, you piece of-" Before Mario could do it, F.L.U.D.D. stopped him. "Wait Mario! I can find out if she's telling the truth, and is her real-self, by scanning her!" "Really?" Said Mario as he got up. "Yes. just let me scan her, and we'll find out if she's telling the truth." "Great idea, F.L.U.D.D.!" Said Twilight as Mario crossed his arms. "Alright, but if you're not you, I'll roast you right here and now!" Cadence gulped, but nodded her head either way. Then, a laser shot out of F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle, and scanned Cadence all over. When
F.L.U.D.D. was done developing the data, he came to his conclusion. "It's the real her." Said F.L.U.D.D. When Twilight heard that, she screamed with glee, and ran towards Cadence, hugging her in the process. Mario then went up to her, while scratching the back of his head. "Hey, Cadence? I'm sorry that we got off to a rough start." It's okay..." "Mario." "Mario, of course! Anyways, like I was going to say, we have to find a way out of here." Twilight then spoke up. "Yeah, but how?" Just then, F.L.U.D.D. saw a mine-cart, and said, "I know of a way." F.L.U.D.D. then told them about the mine cart, and our heroes hopped in, except for Mario, because he had to push. When Mario was done pushing, he hopped in the cart, and they just waited until the cart came to a part where it was going to fall off the tracks. "Get ready to jump!" Said Mario as the heroes started to stand on the edges of the cart. Then, when the cart was going to fall off, Mario said "Jump!" And they landed on some ground that just so happened to be there. Then, a beam of light started to shine on Cadence, as they heard the song that plays when the bride walks in. "Alright, were gonna have to make it as quickly as possible if we want to stop Shining from marrying that fake Cadence." Said Twilight. Then, our heroes were ready to leave out of the mines.
At the wedding...
The fake Cadence walked across the sanctuary, as she got ready to marry her groom. The two said their vows, and when Princess Celestia said, "Speak now, or forever hold your peace.", everyone there heard two familiar voices. "Stop the wedding!" Everyone gasped as they turned to look at the two who said it, Mario and Twilight. "Don't do it! She's evil!" Yelled out Mario as he and Twilight started to go to the altar. When Shining Armor heard that again, he got aggrivated. "I thought I told you not to come to the wedding." "Can it, lover boy, we have a serious crisis on our hands! Err, hoofs!" Everyone then started to whisper to one another about this. "Crisis? What crisis? The only crisis here, is you interrupting my wedding. Now, get outta here, before I make you!" Shining Armor said, threatening Mario. Mario then retaliated. "The crisis is that your soon-to-be bride, is evil like we've been trying to get through your thick skull! And I will not leave this wedding, until I can convince you." Mario and Shining Armor then had a staredown for quite a while after that. "Ooo! I just love staredowns!" Said Pinkie getting a table with a microphone on it. "And in this corner, weighing in at 267 pounds, Shining Armor! And in this corner, weighing in at 145 pounds, Mario!" Mario and Shining Armor then turned to Pinkie as they both said, "You're not helping!" Pinkie then got rid of the table as she said, "Oh. Sorry." Then, Mario and Shining Armor went back to their staredown as he said, "You have 5 minutes." "More than enough time. Come on out!" Just then, the doors opened up as a shadowy figure stood there, then, walked forward being showered in light. And it was revealed to be none other than Cadence herself. "Cadence!?" Said Shining Armor shocked at this. "Yep! It's me in the flesh!" "Wait, if your Cadence, then who's-" Said Princess Celestia as "Cadence"s eyes started to light up and she hovered in mid-air. Then parts of her skin burned away as it went from being pink to black, with a few holes in her body, horn, and even her wings, which were like a bug's, clear and transparent. Then the mysterious black figure started to laugh as everyone started to freak out when they saw her. "That's the black pony I saw in my dream!" Thought Mario as he saw her. "You two were right about everything! And now, I'm getting ready to take over Equestria, and become it's new leader!" Mario then spoke up. "How are you going to do that when one, everyone here can take you, and two, we have the Elements of Harmony on our side? There's no way you can win." Chrysalis laughed again. "That's what you think. My Changelings are busy trying to break that barrier that Shining Armor was so happy to put up." Mario and everyone else then went to look out a window when they heard that, and was shocked to see a huge army of Changelings slamming themselves up against a barrier thinking that it would really do some good. Mario then put two and two together, and turned to Shining Armor, who was now having another migraine. "Is this the reason why you've been having migraines?" "Yeah. I really didn't want anypony to try and sneak into my wedding, so I put up a barrier to try and stop them." Well you shouldn't do it if it's hurting you." Said Cadence. Just then Chrysalis broke this pity party. "Oh boo-hoo. Look! It appears my Changelings managed to get through after all." The Changelings then broke the barrier and started to fly straight towards the wedding. Everyone then started to panic and run away as the Changelings broke through the ground and flew in from the windows, eager to complete their mission. "That's right! Run you fools! Run to tell everypony that Chrysalis is taking over!" Chrysalis laughed again as the Mane 5 ran over to where Mario, Cadence, Twilight, and Shining Armor were. "Well well, look who it is!" Said Mario as they approached them. Applejack then spoke fast enough where they could understand her. "All is forgiven, we believe you, let's get out here!" F.L.U.D.D. then changed to the Turbo Nozzle as Mario said, "My thoughts exactly. Let's-a go!" Once again, everyone held on to a part of F.L.U.D.D. except the handles, and they blasted off at a great speed. "So, anyone know where were supposed to be going?" Asked Mario. "We need to get to the Elements of Harmony." Said Twilight. "Any idea where those are?" Asked Mario. "There at Canterlot Castle. We need to head there." Said Rainbow Dash. Mario then made a quick U-turn as he went to Canterlot Castle.
When they got there, they had to fight their way through a few Changelings before getting to the throne room where the Elements of Harmony were, and when they walked inside, what they saw shocked them. Princess Celestia and Luna lay defeated in a barrier while Chrysalis juggled the Elements of Harmony. "Looking for these?" She asked with a sly grin. "How did you get here before us? We used the Turbo Nozzle, the fastest Nozzle Mario has. There's no way you could have beat us here!" Said Spike, surprised along with everyone else. "Teleportation, genius. Get them!" Yelled Chrysalis. Then, the Changelings started to surround our heroes. "We can't fight them all!" Said Twilight. "Yes we can." Thought Mario as he was getting into a fighting stance, then held his arms up saying, "I surrender!" "What are you doing!?" Said Rarity, with a hint of anger in her voice. "I have a plan. Just follow me for now." Said Mario through grit teeth. The ponies and dragon nodded their heads as they held up their arms and hooves and said, "Us too!" "Put them in the barrier!" Said Chrysalis as the Changelings shoved our heroes inside. "What now?" Asked Fluttershy, worried that they'll be there forever. "I'll try attacking the barrier, and when it's broken, you guys can escape. How does that sound?" Said Mario, which after, he looked around thinking it was a great plan. "That's a terrible plan! I'd rather let lover boy over there marry the psycho chick, if that'll help us escape!" Said Rainbow Dash. "Ok."Said Mario cupping his hands. "Hey! We got something for you-" Twilight then put her hoof over Mario's mouth. "Let's save that as a last resort." Mario nodded as she took her hoof away. "I actually kind of like the break the barrier plan." Said F.L.U.D.D. speaking up. "Then it's settled!" Said Mario as he ran towards the barrier and tried to slide attack it, but ended up bouncing backwards. Mario then did the Fire Burst, but it bounced off as well. Mario tried every move that he had, and those weren't enough. finally, Mario just gave up. "What now, planner?" Said Shining Armor. Mario just glared at him until Chrysalis heard a rustling noise. "Who's there?" She said as she turned around. Then, a shadowy figure dropped to the ground and was suddenly covered in light. "Ahhh, Shadow Mario." Said Chrysalis as Shadow Mario started to walk towards her. "WHAT!? YOU TWO ARE WORKING TOGETHER!?" Said Mario, unable to hold his surprise. As Shadow Mario was walking to Chrysalis, he started to get smaller in size, and his form started to change, from being a shadow clone of Mario, to a small koopa that Mario knew all too well. "Bowser Jr.!" Said Mario as he saw him. "Who now?" Said Applejack as everyone looked at Mario. "He's the true culprit behind the graffiti, and the one who brought me here in the first place!" "Alright, now pay up! Remember? Our deal was that I help you get lover boy over there, and in return, you pay me 100 bits! In fact, I deserve extra since I told you about that Mario and his pesky water pump! Now pay up or else!" Said Bowser Jr., holding his paintbrush at Chrysalis. "Alright, I'll pay..." Chrysalis then whistled, causing 2 Changelings to grab Bowser Jr. by the arms. "Hey, what are you doing?" Asked Bowser Jr. "I'm paying you. Put him in with the others!" "You won't do anything!" Said Bowser Jr. as he stepped on a Changeling's foot, causing him to take his arm off of him, and hold it, while Bowser Jr. slapped the other Changeling with his paintbrush. He then put his bandanna over his mouth as he went from being Bowser Jr. to Shadow Mario. Just then, more Changelings started to get involved in the fight as Shadow Mario was beating most of them. One of the Changelings tried to sneak up on Shadow Mario from behind, but he hit him in the gut with the back of his paintbrush. Then the Changelings started to change into Shadow Mario to try and confuse him. Shadow Mario looked around as he tried to make sense of what was going on around him. He then shook it off and still tried to fight, but the Changelings overpowered him, and threw him in the barrier. Shadow Mario then tried to get out, but the barrier had already closed. Then Shadow Mario looked over at our heroes and sat on his knees. Mario then walked up to him and put his hand on his shoulder. "Meet the true culprit behind the Delfino Island graffiti, Shadow Mario, or better known as, Bowser Jr." Said Mario taking off his bandanna. "So you're punk that's been screwing up Mario's world?" Said Shining Armor. "Hey, watch it lover boy! Besides, Who's wedding just got ruined today? Come on, tell me." Said Bowser Jr. Putting his ear to Shining Armor's mouth. "Mine..." Said Shining Armor in the lowest way possible. "What's that? I can't hear you!" "Mine..." Said Shining Armor speaking up a little bit. Bowser Jr. then decided to mess with him. "I can't-" "I SAID MY WEDDING! MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE! DID YOU HEAR ME THAT TIME!? GOOD." Shining Armor screamed right into Bowser Jr.'s ear, which caused his eardrum to come out and beat in pain. "Ow! You don't have to scream about it!" Said Bowser Jr. As Mario watched their argument, he wished so badly that he could turn invisible and walk out of the barrier to try and get help. Then a lightbulb appeared over his head as he reached into his overalls, and took off his cap. "Aha!" Said Mario as he pulled out a cap that was the same as Mario's cap, but faintly colored. Everyone then looked at Mario as he put on his cap, and turned faint along with F.L.U.D.D. "I don't think turning faint would help out in any way, darling." Said Rarity upon seeing him. "I'm faint for a reason." Said Mario as he ran towards the barrier. "Oh no. Here we go again." Said Cadence as she and everybody else waited for the sound of Mario smacking up against the barrier. But it didn't happen. So when they looked, Mario had gone THROUGH the barrier instead of hitting it. Everyone was shocked and amazed at this. Mario then took off the Vanish Cap as he looked around for Chrysalis. Then, she appeared in front of Mario, startling him. "How did you escape!?" Before Mario could answer, Chrysalis cut him off. "Dosen't matter. Get him!" Then Changelings started to surround Mario, and he got in a fighting pose. "You can't fight them all, Mario!" Yelled Twilight. "Yes I can! If you put your mind to it, you can do anything!" Mario yelled back. "Really?" Said Pinkie as she ran towards the barrier. "I believe in myself!" She said as she jumped at it, then ended up slamming against it. "Owch!" Bowser Jr. started to laugh at her while Mario said "Well, almost anything." "Attack!" Yelled Chrysalis. Mario then got back into a fighting pose and ran towards the Changelings. Mario then Slide Attacked a Changeling causing him to fly into the air. And when he came back down, Mario grabbed him and saw that the Changelings were starting to close in on him. So, he spun around, using the changeling he was holding as a weapon, backing off the others. Then when he was done, he chucked the Changeling at Chrysalis, but she put up a barrier at that exact moment, so the Changeling just slid off of it. Mario then pointed at Chrysalis as he went to go take care of some more. One Changeling tried to dive attack Mario from above, but Mario swung his head upwards, and the Changeling went through the ceiling. The Changelings then tried direct approaches, and tried changing into Mario's friends, but Mario wasn't falling for it. He kicked a Shadow Mario Changeling in the face as he turned around and grabbed a Fluttershy Changeling, and slammed her into other wannabe clones. Mario then shot a fireball off at one of the Changelings and said, "Your head's on fire." The Changeling then freaked out as he started to run around an do the "Stop, drop, and roll" technique. Mario then used F.L.U.D.D. to stop the Changeling from further embearassing himself, and to put him in a state of shock for a while. All of the Changelings started to get mad as they were taking this from Mario out of all people. Then they changed into the aforementioned plumber as he got ready to do the Mario Tornado, seeing as how they were surrounding him. "How do we tell which one's which?" Asked Shining Armor. "Just look for the one that has F.L.U.D.D.!" Said Twilight. Mario then preformed the Mario Tornado and sucked in the Changelings as he did so. Even Chrysalis had a hard time trying to stay stationed to they ground. When Mario was done, he had defeated all of the Changelings except for one... "There's one more to go!" Said Mario as he walked towards Chrysalis who had started to back up. The Princesses had long since woken up, and were surprised by Mario's fighting skills. Chrysalis then looked at the barrier housing the ponies. she then got an idea. "Don't make this hard for yourself! Just give up, and get out of here along with your wannabe copycats. Or else." When Mario said that, he punched his hand against his other. "Never! Said Chrysalis as she put down the barrier, an took Fluttershy hostage. "Let her go, or else I'll-" "You'll what? Pull of that tornado attack again? I'm SO scared." Mario then held out both of his hands as a fireball appeared in each hand. he then put the two together, and got the Mario Finale in his hands. "I'll roast you like a marshmallow!" Chrysalis then got a sly grin. "Do it then! Unless your too scared that your going to hit her!" Mario then just looked at her. "Come on! If you had enough guts to take on my Changelings, then surely you can think of a plan now!" Mario's expression then went from angry, to sad. She was right. The Mario Finale was just too risky. There had to be another way. The Mario Finale then died in Mario's hands as he stood on his knees. "Stop. I'll do whatever you say." "WHAT!?" Said everyone. Even Bowser Jr. said it. "Good boy." Said Chrysalis as she dropped Fluttershy. She then walked over to Mario. "Now I want you to worship me. Tell everypony that I'm their new leader!" Mario then got a plan as he murmured to himself. "What?" Said Chrysalis, getting closer to Mario. Mario then murmured to himself again, this time on purpose so that Chrsyalis would get even closer to him. What did you say?" Asked Chrysalis as she got as close as she could to Mario. "I said, SUPER PUNCH JUMP!" Said Mario as he did said move, uppercutting Chrysalis in the chin. she then flew off and made a gaping hole in the ceiling while saying "Chrysalis is blasting off again!" She then flew into the sky an turned into a star. The defeated Changelings then saw this, and started to get scared. "You saw that right you little maggots? Well that same thing is gonna happen to you, if you don't get out here right now, and go FAR far away. Got that?" Said Mario as he held his fist towards them. The Changelings then gulped as they flew away with their queen, never to be seen again. Or so everyone thought...
The Aftermath
"Mario, I can't thank you enough for saving the wedding, and stopping me from making a dumb mistake." Said Shining Armor as the true wedding was about to start. "Don't mention it. And here's a breath mint. You really need one." Said Mario holding a pack of Altoids. Mario and Shining Armor then burst out laughing, but was cut short when Mario said, "I'm serious. Your breath is lights out for sure." Shining Armor rolled his eyes as he took a mint and popped it in his mouth. Then Cadence walked in. And Everyone waited as she made her way across the aisle. When she was done, they both said their vows, and Mario looked around like there was going to be another Changeling attack, but smiled when there wasn't. At the reception, Cadence said to her husband, "Nice breath." He then looked at Mario, who was leaning on a wall, smiling. Shining smiled back as he and Cadence walked off. Mario then sighed as he closed his eyes for a little bit, until he heard a few voices calling his name. "Mario!" When Mario looked up he saw the Mane 6 walking towards him, and he waved at them, standing straight up. "Hey, what happened to Shadow Mario?" Asked Spike. Mario shrugged his shoulders. "My guess is that he probably left." Saying that gave Pinkie a great idea. So she got a microphone and started to announce. "Attention, Everypony! Watch as Rainbow Dash attempts to fly through this ring!" Said Pinkie as she suddenly got a circus ring. "On fire!" That piqued everyone curiosity as they watched. Pinkie then lit it on fire as Rainbow dash successfully flew through it. "Piece of cake!" said Rainbow. "Uhh, Rainbow Dash?" Said Mario. "Yeah, what's up?" "Your mane. It's on fire." "WHAT!?" When Rainbow Dash heard that, she went ballistic. She dropped to the ground, and started to run around in circles, while the crowd watched, and Mario tried to put it out. "Hold still!" Said Mario trying to extinguish the flame. And in the background, on top of a house, was Shadow Mario, who planted his paintbrush in the ground, and sat with his legs crossed, eating a piece of cake.
Author's Notes
Okay, Now I'm sure a lot of you have questions like, "Why is the Royal Wedding happening if the ponies told Mario about Chrysalis?" Well, to answer your question, When the ponies told Mario about their enemies, Chrysalis wasn't in the list. When Mario arrives, it obviosly takes place BEFORE the Royal Wedding. When Mario had his dream(More of a nightmare if you ask me), it was a vision of future villians he would have to fight. (With the exception of Nightmare Moon of course. She was just there to be there) So I hope that clears some things up. Also, did you spot the Pokemon reference?(It's in every episode, so it shouldn't be hard to find at all) I want to add more references to stuff like that, so be on the look out for them in future chapters. Also, I have a bigger idea in mind for Mario and the ponies. It will be it's own fanfiction by your's truly. Also, I had to change the Vanish Cap. I mean, think about it. If it's invisible, (obviously) no one would be able to see it. Sorry if I pissed off any fanboys, but I'm pretty sure that's how it is in the DS version of Super Mario 64.
