Part 3: Chapter 3: Who won?

The sound of the crazy Dj's laughter mixed in with the rockslide had made it sound like as if the Devil himself was laughing. Fear struck like lightning in those who took refuge in the castle and screams began to battle against the rockslide for volume.

Celestia jumped off, and flew towards the oncoming rubble. Her wings opened up and began to glow as she began to halt each rock. They glowed in the golden hue of her magic, and halted in mid-air, some still spinning as their inertia was halted.

Chrysalis was standing beside Nightmare, with Sombra at her Side. The Three Generals, side by side, watching over the citadel as if they were playing a RTS game with their lives on the line.

"Send them." Sombra said.

"Yeah…" Chrysalis replied.

The black dots in the sky blotted out the moon as they charged the citadel, impacting the shield.

"Damn!"

"Don't worry." Sombra replied, fading away. "She's mine."

"No she isn't, she's mine!" Chrysalis cried out.

"What?"

"I impersonated her! Trapped her in a crystal mine, I did!"

"I was the former ruler of the Crystal Kingdom."

Charlie flew past between the bickering two. "Dibs."

The three Generals watched as the mutant flew towards the shield, right above the northern wall. The Changeling smiled as she watched him bounce off. "It's made from the power of love." She yelled out.

"So?!"

"So, you cannot penetrate it!"

"I am currently in love with a teenage colt!" Charlie replied as he admitted the forbidden love he had. The three generals looked at each other with worry. It didn't matter to them that it was forbidden, they did not care about the law of love in Equestria. What mattered to them was that Charlie was a very shy colt, usually only talking to those he trusted which, except for Alpha and Spike, the only others he trusted were them.

He felt his heart pounding on his chest, both fear and excitement from doing something that he had always forced himself never to do. It was horrific and exhilarating at the same time. He felt as if he relived what he felt like during the first fight in his life where his life was actually depending on who won.

"So I don't see why I," He stopped as he retreated back 10 yards and flew into the shield, bouncing off again. "Cant." He tried again. "Get." And again. "In."

"Look."

Charlie looked up at the place of impact and saw nothing. "What am I looking at here?!"

"It's brighter than any other spot."

Charlie looked around and noticed the same thing. He backed up 20 yards and flew into the shield, then backed up 30, then 40 yards. Each time he backed up, a changeling flew down and joined him, impacting the shield near him. At 100 yards, he hit the wall and watched as his spot, which had grown quite considerably, began to crack.

Charlie flew back 200 yards and looked at the bigger picture.

"What do you see?"

"Chrysalis!"

The changeling turned to face him.

"When that shield breaks, its gonna crack and break up in pieces."

"We are counting on that. What do you want?"

"Take a hundred of your Changelings and go to the Southern Wall. When he shield breaks, destroy the support beams holding up the Castle!"

"What about those inside the citadel?!"

"You will be only taking out a small portion. Enough to allow your changelings to slip in. Pose as civvies and you'll blend right in."

"How do you know that we won't be mistaken as the enemy?!"

Nightmare padded her shoulder. "We aren't after the innocent, remember? The goal of this battle is not to kill everypony on sight, it's to become a distraction so Alpha can slip in and end this war once and for all."

"WE ARE A DISTRACTION?!"

She nodded calmly.

"What will happen when Celestia falls?"

"Strictly and politically speaking, one can't quit the royal bloodline."

"Meaning…?"

"Meaning I'm still Princess. Therefore, when Cel is taken out, I have royal confirmation that the kingdom is mine."

"You'll become…queen."

"Princess actually. Need to marry a prince to become Queen." Nightmare said with a smirk. "No-pony is cute enough sadly."

"What about that big red fellow? What's his name? Big-something…"

"Macintosh?"

"Yeah, him. He look's cute."

Nightmare looked at Chrysalis with the most dead-panned face of all time. "No."

"Are you ponies listening to me!?" Charlie cried out.

"Yeah." Chrysalis replied, calling out to her group leaders, who flew to her at once. "Listen up," She began as they were all there, all 50 of them. "Change of plans, only kill the guards, no innocents. Do not commit any other means no stealing, raping, killing innocents, pony-napping," She turned to one changeling whose teeth were un-naturally pinkish. "And no cannibalism! THAT MEANS YOU, CARL." They all saluted except one.

Carl groaned is disappointment. "Just one!" He pleaded.

"No. If we win this battle, we will be allowed back into Equestria, and be treated like we used to be before we became what we are."

All group leaders including Carl looked at Nightmare Moon for confirmation, who nodded her head. "You all are still considered ponies." She spoke out.

"Right, go spread the news then," She pointed to ten of them.

They all nodded, flew back to their groups to spread the news. Except Carl, who stubbornly crossed his front legs and pouted.

Chrysalis sighed. "Fine, you can eat."

He looked up and threw his legs up and chirped loudly in excitement.

"ONLY GUARDS!"

"Fine with me." The changeling replied as he flew back to his group.

"Seriously?" Nightmare asked.

"What?" She looked at her then rolled her eyes as she realized what she meant. "Oh come on, Ponies are insanely tasty sweet."

"SO IS THAT A YES OR A NO?" Charlie cried out.

"That's a yes!" She cried out. Chrysalis turned to Nightmare. "I generally go for the flank and-"

"Don't say it." Nightmare interrupted sternly.

Chrysalis looked at her, surprised and opened her mouth to argue.

"Don't. You. Dare."

"WHO ELSE WILL HELP ME!?" Charlie asked, landing on the ground. "I need more than just myself to break through that shield."

"I'll race you. On Three. Gallop before flying to get speed."

Charlie looked to his side to see his colt-friend beside him on his left, covered in dried blood.

"One." Alpha counted.

"You know I'm much faster than you."

"Two."

"What the hell happened to you?" Charlie asked as he readied himself.

"Three." Both Beta and Delta spoke at the same time.

Alpha and Charlie broke off into a sprint getting into the air after 10 yards, gaining speed like Dash as she performed the Sonic Rainboom for the second time.

150 yards to go

The hoard of rebels began to light up as they looked up to see the two leaders race above, heading for the wall. The outlines of light that came from the suits melted into lines as they flew faster and faster.

100 yards

Both ghosts boosted their friend with magic, giving them a boost similar to the nitrogen boost humans use in drag-races. The dirt that the two pushed into the air when they began hit the ground.

50 yards

The two leaders were beside each other, their wings nearly touching. Alpha risked a side-long glance and saw that his right wing sparked every few milliseconds on the very tip as the two wings touched each other.

25 yards

The two braced themselves, lowering their heads as their ghosts shielded their helmets.

5 yards

The two broke the sound barrier. The ring had not even begun to form when they impacted the shield, easily breaking through. The dome cracked nearly instantaneously as if it were glass. The rings formed, cutting deep into the ground below, giving a show of colored flames across the dome as it collapsed.

The ring was engulfed with Blue and Green flames.
