"Where is your pathetic mother?" Chrysalis growled at Fable. "I don't know! I'm glad though! My mom and her friends are safe, and Spark's helping with a plan to save me!" The unicorn snapped. "Your mother is one of the sweetest, kindest ponies I know, she's will give herself up for you in a heartbeat!" The queen laughed. "Don't be so sure! She loves her friends! She would never give them up to a monster like you! I don't care if you helped my aunt raise her, you know nothing about my mom!" Fable cried. Chrysalis gasped and grabbed the girl. "How did you know that?! What else do you know?!" She snarled. "Oh… A lot of things… Including your little crush on my uncle!" Fable said, boldly. Chrysalis slapped her and the sound echoed through the halls. "Get your hoofs away from my daughter!" A voice growled. The queen turned to face Twilight and her friends. "Mom!" Fable called. The girl ran but Chrysalis grabbed her by her mane. "OUCH!" Fable cried. "Let her go!" Rainbow yelled. "I intend to!" Chrysalis laughed. "But you're going to have to let me kill you all to do it!' Fable screamed and the mane six gasped. "Never!" Applejack growled. "Oh, say it again." Chrysalis summoned a guard who put his spear to Fable's neck. "Stop!" Fluttershy cried. "Don't you dare! I won't let you destroy them, just me." Twilight whispered. "No! Twilight, darling you're insane!" Rarity gasped. "And that isn't our deal, princess!" Chrysalis snapped. "Then what can we do? I will not let you harm my friends!" Twilight growled. "Oh, come now, Twilie! You used to adore me!" Chrysalis cooed. "When was that?" Twilight laughed. "Mom… It's true! Chrysalis isn't lying! When you were-" Chrysalis blocked Fable from speaking. "As your brat was saying, I used to be your foal sitter when you were a filly!" The mane six gasped, but Twilight backed it. "Cadence was my only foal sitter! She would never allow me around a monster like you! And besides, I would remember that!" She smirked. "Of course… unless, somepony made the memories go away!" Chrysalis laughed. "Wh-what?!" Twilight gasped. "That's right, your family took away your memories with their magic! I watched the whole thing!" The queen said. "Stop lying, you fiend!" Pinkie yelled. "It's true…. Sorry mom…" Fable whispered. "No… No! That can't be possible! It isn't possible!" Twilight cried.
"I'm such a idiot!" Skyla cried. "Skyla, please, don't be upset!" Pumpkin whispered. "Yes, the first step to helping yourself live, is learning to forgive." Zecora said. "How can I forgive myself?! I doomed my aunt, my parents, I've doomed Equestria!" The princess sobbed, huddling on the floor. "Chrysalis was defeated once before!" Mr. Cake said. Skyla looked up. "Only because Twilight freed Cadence! No element of harmony are going to help us this time! They'll be here, rotting in a prison cell or worst!" She whispered. "Thing will look up… I'm sure of it." Pound said, putting a arm around her. Suddenly the door burst open and a changeling came in. "Berry?!" Skyla gasped. "No, princess Celestia… Yeah, it's me." The adopted family hugged. "How did you find us?" Skyla asked. "I knew Chrysalis would come for you sooner or later, sorry it took me so long." Berry whispered. "Well we have a… um… sacrifice? I don't know, but we gotta go crash whatever that bug queen's doing!" The ponies cheered and ran out the cell.
"How could my family lie to me?" Twilight gasped. "You were just so young, I suppose.." Chrysalis said. "And, ah yes, I threatened your sister in law and all she loved, which included you." Fable struggled in Chrysalis's grip, spear still pointed to her neck, this was the only thing that kept Twilight and her friends from lunging at the queen. "I need to see her majesty! The prisoners are escaping!" A deep voice cried, Chrysalis turned to see the Cakes and Zecora shoving past some guards while two others chased them. "Where is the princess?" The queen asked. "Right here!" A guard said. Skyla changed to her real form. The ponies started to run to Chrysalis but her guard pointed the spear, if any closer would jab into her. "Oh please!" Pumpkin cried. She shot a blue beam from her horn and sent the weapon away. "You… You just…. You could just do that?" Rainbow gasped. "Whatever! I still have her and we have- what are you doing?" Chrysalis asked, seeing Fable muttering something . Suddenly a blue shield sprang from her, sending Chrysalis away. "How on equestria…" Twilight whispered. Fable bolted and galloped to her mother, giving her a hug. Skyla stepped gingerly around Chrysalis. "Is she… Um… You know…" She started. "No time to check! Let's get out of here!" Applejack said. The ponies started to run but Twilight stayed behind. "Mom! What are you doing?!" Fable cried. "I need to find out the truth!" The princess said. "Ugh! Stop being sappy, Twi! We gotta go before all the guards come!" Rainbow cried. Twilight ran away and the ponies groan. "I'll get her!" Berry said, galloping after her. "Me too!" Fable cried. "Me thirteen!" Pinkie yelled. "Thirteen?" Rarity asked. "Yeah! We're all coming, right?" They all nodded and ran after Berry.
"Your highness! Wait!" Berry called. Twilight stopped, gasping for air. "Don't hold me back!" She cried. "I'm here to help. I used to work for Queen Chrysalis! I know where she keeps special things!" The princess scrunched her face. "What do you mean?" She asked. "A history potion! You used it once, five years ago!" Berry said. "I remember that…." Twilight whispered. "Then let's go get it!" Berry cried.
A few minutes later, Twilight had the potion safely tucked under her wings and was walking back to her friends. They had gotten lost, but Berry found them. They ran to the doorway but Chrysalis jumped out and blocked them. "Oh no, you don't!" She growled. "Give me that potion, now!" Her friends blocked the princess. "No way!" Rainbow said. "Yo-you can't have it!" Fluttershy stuttered. "Through the back way!" Berry cried. The ponies ran and Chrysalis groaned. "Why did we even have all this easy for them!"
The ponies reached the outside, to be met to a cliff. "Really?" Pound cried. "Twilight, dear, if you give Chrysalis the potion, our doom shall be near." Zecora said. "Then we shouldn't give it to her!" Rarity whispered. "But you will!" Chrysalis said behind them. They gasped. "The potion, now, or you'll all get pushed over the edge."
"Twilight! Don't give it! She'll push us anyway!" Skyla cried.
"But what should we do?" Fluttershy whispered. "I need this! If you family has been lying, this will tell me!" Twilight gasped. Chrysalis took a step nearer, the ponies took a step back, on the edge. "Now!" The Queen growled. "No!" Twilight cried. The Queen was about to push the bearers of the elements when the princess screamed. "Stop it! If this is what you'll do to get it…. If it was in my possession, it could put my friends and family in danger, I could go to extreme measures to hoard it! I-I can't be a monster, I have to trust my family now, it's the only way I can truly know." Twilight sighed. She held the bottle over the edge. "What are you-" She dropped it. "No!" Chrysalis screeched. "You pathetic child!" She cried. Suddenly, she lunged at the mare, sending them toppling both over the edge. "TWILIGHT!" The ponies screamed.
I know this was short but if I continued, it wouldn't be so suspenseful! Sorry… Don't hate me for sending Twilight plummeting to her doom, it's story biz! You're probably screaming, "Fly! You have wings and magic! Fly! Cast spells! Twilight, just use your magic to teleport!" I know, but it creates more of the feeling of peril, so that's why I did that. It might take me a bit of time to make another chapter, new things are happening, lots of changes right now, and I have…. Writer's block on this story, kinda. (Avoids food) why does this always happen to me? (Brushes it out of mane.) okay! I'll see you when I see you!
