It is I who should be remorseful and ashamed.". The first group is to form patrols with the orders to comb the city for any Changelings that may be still in the city. I know we did try but it's just not enough. Only the Creator knew how long they were going to be there, but that mattered little to Cadance. Deadpanned Applejack. I don't care how you do it, just get out of Ponyville, but only when we have Cadance. The battle was ferocious. Nonetheless, it was easy to see why this was such a serious incident. Baggy eyes filled with regret, a weary expression, plus her mane and tail weren't very well groomed. "What is it Granny Smith?" "Son, if I were you, know this: I'd be thinking about the apology youll say to your sister when the time comes and youve plenty of time to do it. Do you have any idea..?". As quietly as she could, she made her way back to her bedroom. They really had gone too far in their treatment of her. However, Blade ordered Snake to hold position for a little while longer, so as to not make things seem suspicious. Fortunately, he wouldn't have to ask. Both Night and Velvet looked at each other nervously, before returning their attention to Luna. "Yes Aunt Celestia. Said Applejack. They even issued the warning that if we fail to apologize to Twilight properly, then she may never forgive us again.". For the fourth time in a row, silence fell over the room as the Mane 5, Shining Armor and Celestia looked at Cadance in shock and horror. Hah! You have not only brought shame to our family Applejack, but you have brought shame on yourself and your Element. "Listen up Changelings!" Twilight was ravin' about Cadence being an impostor and repeatedly called her evil, which made her cry. At the moment, Twilight only trusts me and Spike, so it's better if I talk to her. On the other hoof, I can imagine how glorious victory will be when we storm the gates of Canterlot, and it is all thanks to you that this is possible! If the damage was too great, they would then be assigned a temporary settlement, and led there by a designated Royal Guard soldier. Would you care to stay with me for the time being?". I appreciate you've come all this way just to try to make it up to me, but I'm not ready. Before she could say anything, Celestia continued. "Please don't leave me.", "Shh Sugarcube." "So, what's the plan?". Applejack could only look at her with a face that bore a very clear expression of horror. ", "And anyway, that's what friends do!" It won't go away. In response, Dark Shroud, another of Chrysalis's officers, and one of the most experienced in her army stepped forth. ", "So you thought it was right to break the heart of "your most faithful student", betraying her trust in the process? "Shininghow could you? Cookies my commanders are deploying their troops to assist construction efforts and seek out any Changeling stragglers. Something he couldn't quite put his claw on. Meanwhile, Luna was first to break the ice between herself and Celestia. "Night Light! Despite being met with a series of gasps or long stares, she didn't care. Shining was snookered, and he knew it. ", "That's OK Rarity. The fate of all ponykind depended on these talks, and Cadance could only wonder how this fact couldn't be more obvious to anypony in general apart from herself and the girls. Not only did they emotionally scar our beloved daughter, they left her vulnerable and helpless. SubStar They betrayed her trust, they crushed her spirit and left her to die all in one fell swoop.". "Next stop Ponyville!" To be precise, the only traceable source of conflict to be found in Equestriawas in my heart.". Prepare your troops for battle!". "The aim of the pegasi attacking the castle is to cut off the princesses from their guards and divert them somewhere we can corner them. Both the senior Apples looked at Applejack sternly. "That is a question I am tormented with every day ma'am." How could they have no patience for their best friend the one time she was in the wrong, after all the times she helped them with their mistakes? Tone replied, convinced. Among them was the only General in the entire officer corps, a rank befitting his position as the top commanding officer, and his name was so fearsome and infamous among ponykind that even the toughest of them could not speak his name and remain unafraid. You should be ashamed of yourself!". Pinkie piped happily. Those who gave themselves up were spared harvesting, but were taken prisoner. How were they able to come to Twilight's aid the first time, when they did not the second time? Under our leadership, there was peace throughout the land, nary a trace of conflict or discord to be found outside. Black Blade's loyalty to her has never failed to impress. The wedding hall remained as it was from the moment Twilight ran out crying; a room with an atmosphere crushed under the heavy weights of regret and sorrow. Rainbow added. Cried Applejack, trying to defuse the situation. "Yes ma'am!" If the Princess had guessed correctly, this wouldn't be good news in the slightest. It was my pride that convinced me to leave my best friend so I could follow after the Queen of them Changeling thugs, who I foolishly believed to be the real Princess Cadance. Trotting through the castle's long and myriad hallways, he finally came across Celestia's private study, guarded by two of his men. "Surrender now and you will not be harmed.". Celestia has since sent a delegation, made up of the Element Bearers, to Ponyville. "Of course we did!" "Twilight, have you forgotten why we're here? As Celestia continued questioning Luna on her absence during the battle against the Changelings, Shining (who was standing away from them next to the throne room's massive doors) was getting anxious. "General Skoula, I have just come up with an idea which could supplement our forces and bolster the success of the assault on Canterlot. "Instead of waiting outside the city to attack, our forces will infiltrate the city in disguise en masse, and blend in with the locals. "Shining Armor, how could you be so unspeakably cruel to your own sister?! Twilight was your own sister, your own flesh and blood! Twilight could have stopped the Changelings from wreaking havoc, but she was never given the chance! Back in the wedding hall, there was little more than seven ponies with the responsibility of Canterlot's invasion laid on their shoulders, a baby dragon devastated by Twilight's revelation, while also disgusted at his own reaction to the lavender unicorn's outburst at the wedding rehearsal. The Mane 5 backed off to give her some breathing space. "Of course! To complicate matters, nopony knew the truth at the time, so by a technicality Twilight was as much at fault as the girls were. "Yes Fluttershy, you really were that cruel to her. As soon as they got into formation, they broke into a canter, making haste for Luna's private quarters. One would expect her to take it maturely. ", "Why Auntie? Almost instantly, Blade returned to the throne room, always ready and eager to serve his queen. "Y-yeah, sure." "I cannot hold my tongue any longer. No one said a word until Velvet finally cut in, it was all too much for her to take. "Darnit" Rainbow grumbled in annoyance. No doubt the events from earlier were still taking a hefty toll on her mind. "Next stop, Ponyville! It worked to dreadful effect; Shining disowned Twilight as a sister and Best Mare, all five of her friends walked out on her and even Celestia showed no compassion. "You crash-landed, pretty hard too." Take care of yourself. After everything we've done together, all the good times we shared and the challenges we encountered together as friends, they betrayed me and left me to die! They had spent the time chatting, while idly wondering where Applejack was. The aura she was sensing was undeniably strong, and bitter in feeling. Had the circumstances been any different, I would've happily stayed with you, but..you know. Before him, the girl's faces were clear expressions of shock and dismay, so too was Cadance's. Chat! As for the other group of officers, they are to take their men and assist with reconstruction efforts wherever they are needed.". Instead, she opted for a conciliatory defeat. With an instant feeling of urgency coursing through her body, Luna was quick to acquiesce to Shining's orders. Together they moved out of the brush, making their way southeast toward the Everfree. "We all betrayed it. Twilight bowed her head as well, Spike and Cadance looking up to notice her movements. While she failed to break the shield, Rainbow had certainly gained somepony's attention as the doors to the treehouse balcony opened. Spike witnesses it and, after the Changelings are sent away, Twilight is awakened by the same shockwave. Rarity moved to comfort her. I just..don't know. Cadance took a moment to consider Rarity's offer. State your business!" Those who escape into enemy territory will be left at their mercy. Sorry you had to see us in this state. The girls had succeeded in trying to understand Twilight's fury, and she had helped them to do it. Still, somepony had to say it, and it fell to Rainbow to take up that mantle. Cadance knew they had to do something and fast; the changelings and Chrysalis were still at large and if they don't get Twilight back as their best friend and the Element of Magic back in full swing, the Elements would remain inactive and Equestria would still be open to attack. "I don't know Luna. She was glad there was still somepony loyal to her. It changes depending on how they are feeling at any given time. We will never-". I did not do it on purpose. They were doing so well to get back on Twilight's good side but then Pinkie (unintentionally) opened her big mouth about the Elements of Harmony and now they were back to Square One. "I'll go and get Twilight. Tone asked flatly. "Twilight please! Or did you become her friends because you sought the fame and glory you would eventually gain from your numerous exploits as the Elements of Harmony?". With those words, Twilight melted into Fluttershy like ice over a warm fire. I have to be elsewhere, so I must make my stay here as brief as possible. Just please try to bring her around. You're always welcome here.". In exchange for their services they would be allowed to do whatever they please. She was still listening, despite this. Rarity had a point; Twilight did upset the bride, even though she was an impostor. She was failing to find words to counter Spike's arguments. Pinkie rose her head above the display case, her expression a concerning mashup of a forced smile coupled with a miserable upper-half, which left Rarity mildly disturbed. ", "I know Dad", sighed Shining. "Who's there?" "Your Majesty, we have created a new plan formed from the coordinates of the previous assault on Canterlot." "Pleaseplease don't leave me" Whimpered Twilight, still suffering from the intense effects her memories were forcing upon her. "But Princess, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" Said Applejack, admiring the sight. You're going to need it, because there are long and trying days ahead. Still, she tried her best to remain perky, and after having breakfast herself, she set to work stacking Sugarcube Corner's display case with treats and confectioneries of all shapes and sizes. "All I cared about at that point was being a bridesmaid, and the added honour of mingling with Canterlot's nobility. Could you explain the basics of what happened?". Behind him, the door closed and locked again, sealing him away from the outside world. Many of the city's buildings were damaged in the fighting, particularly by Changeling pegasi divebomb attacks, and much of the populace was displaced in the chaos. ", "Yeah, we screwed up big time." What matters is that we are sorry for what we did, and all we want now is for us to be friends again. On why did she have to be punished like this? We'll be waiting.". Twilight Sparkle is a 16-year-old girl who has just moved to Canterlot City with her family. In the last invasion, Chrysalis tried employing a policy wherein her troops would not kill, even those who fought against them. Those girls have no right to even look me in the eye! That was when the two elder Apples understood Applejack's point. Fang stepped before Chrysalis, his eyes shimmering with anticipation. By cutting off your ties with her and brushing off her warnings, you nearly brought upon Equestrias ultimate destruction. She, too, looked no great shakes. The Twilight Time Lord, Adventurequest Worlds : Twilight the Hero. Sniffling her tears up her nostrils, Celestia turned to face Shining. He even refused to recall what he did to her, considering the price his actions carried placed a heavy weight of shame on himself. At first, the baby dragon did nothing, but then, in the corner of her eye Applejack spotted Spike's hands curl into fists, fueled by his disgust, anger and frustration. Spike roared, pointing a finger at the Mane 5 as he did so. Total duration Cried Pinkie. "Prepare yourselves.". Also, we didn't just walk out on her. "What is the matter dear sister? "We appreciate your service. Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. "I am sure you do not need an explanation as to my sadness, Captain Armor. Because of your foolishness, our dear Twilight will be lost. The first step will be to attack the Hive, and therefore we must set up a home defence. Will I let you out? Adventure. After taking the moment to scratch the remaining figments of dirt out of her mane, she took a seat opposite Fluttershy. Lieutenant Fang, you are hereby dismissed.". "Let's go home Spike. They had to try again, but it was just a matter of how. #3056427 - safe, lemon hearts, lyra heartstrings, minuette, moondancer, twilight sparkle, twinkleshine, pony, unicorn, canterlot six, female, initials, mare, unicorn twilight - Derpibooru Home Upload Forums Tags Rankings Filters Galleries Comments Commissions Channels Donate "Morning Rarity." Groaned Pinkie, yawning as she spoke. Before Shining could make himself idle, a unicorn Royal Guard sentry ran up to him, carrying a letter with his magic. "Hunter! She knew Celestia had bad news for her, but this was beyond anything she had imagined. Wracked with grief, Applejack flopped onto her bed in tears, but not before hurriedly hanging up her trademark Stetson. Growling with intense menace, Chrysalis looked around her in order to find something to tear apart. ", "But it can't be too long, right?" The Mane 5 did indeed regret everything; now was their opportunity to prove it. ", "Of course, the damage that was caused to our friendship is only half the battle." If that wasn't already a slash to her heart, then the knowledge that what happened then draws similar comparisons to the rehearsal would absolutely double it. To ask for her forgiveness and to get her to resume being your student, or simply to resume being your attack dog?". "What is it you want?" It wasn't long before Chrysalis reached her throne room, where Captain Black Blade, one of the many mid-ranked officers in the Changeling Army was waiting for her, along with her royal guard. Twilight will forgive you girls. Perhaps it is best we take no further action". You will also find me your finest spy. "What if I was wrong about the impostor? ", "Well, things happened, concerning a few ponies including mahself, Twilight and the other girls. You just need to know how to get the message across. While it failed to, that didn't stop him from opening his mouth. Twilight's brother and Celestia also walked out on her, which left her emotionally devastated. ", "Exactly." ", "Of course they do Twilight, that's why they're here. While his stance remained unchanged, he was willing to lend an ear to Cadance's plea. "Snake Bite, I have summoned your presence for a task of great importance. Captain Armor disowned her, stripped her of her title as Best Mare and banned her from the wedding, her friends walked out on her, and I.I said she had a lot to think about.". She was cornered, and it could have been any more obvious to her. Everything that had happened over the past couple of days was still raging in her mind. You doing OK this morning? "But goodness me, you look terrible. "Princess, you are aware Twilight isn't exactly innocent of her crimes either?" Her next action defaulted, Luna glared at her sister sternly. Why was Twilight not corrupted by these Nightmare Forces you speak of? There was no doubt in her mind that Celestia would retaliate for this particular assault, should it fail, but for whatever she would send to attack the Hive, be it her Guards or the Element Bearers (the latter being the more likely), or even if Canterlot was conquered but a small resistance movement had managed to infiltrate enemy lines in an attempt to assassinate her or even to attack the Hive, it was necessary to ready the home defences. Moments later, Princess Cadance, the bride, Twilight's former foalsitter and somepony with whom she was very close . It was because of this her mind was made up already. The lieutenants of his army were made up of one of the three pony species, one for the Earth ponies, the pegasi and the unicorns. We hope you can forgive us.". Knowing this, then one such as yourself should have learned the lesson to take others more seriously, especially those closest to you. Yelled out the conductor as the train whistled. Having settled in, Chrysalis decided to pass on some fresh orders to her officers. Answered Pinkie, her voice, for once, devoid of any jubilance. ", "Anytime darling. How could you do such a thing?! Applejack had heard enough at this point. Muffins which ah' and the royal cooks had spent so much time working on! Twilight had just reunited with her brother, who also happened to be the groom. "Yes sir!" Applejack's voice began to waver as her normally iron will sagged, melting back into a puddle of regret. "Princess, I'm curious. pleaded Shining in protest. Perhaps the word "Twily" sparked connotations between Twilight and the memory of her brother banishing her. I understand why you are upset.". Aside from that, there's nothing else to report. "I'm sorry Cadance, but it just isn't that simple. Replied Velvet. She tried explaining to her friends, but they dismissed her concerns as mere wedding stress. Youhad no right to berate her like that and that goes double for her friends and the Princess herself. Cadance sighed deeply. "Excellent." Just then, Cadance walked into the bakery. I was left feeling alone and betrayed, believing the ponies did not celebrate my night like they worshipped Celestia's day. Asked Granny Smith. There were no villagers though. The Mane 5 looked at each other glumly, before nodding to Cadance. Youre all responsible for this and its only fair that a truly heartfelt apology is delivered if you want her and Spike to come around. Applejack stopped eating. "Lieutenant Fang, let it be known that this operation will be enacted on a size and scale greater than that of the first. The Changeling Queen took her place at the top of the table, flanked by her loyal general. ", "However, for as long as you remain bitter toward those responsible for her emotional trauma, then you will remain susceptible to corruption. "Royal Guards!". The Changelings bowed to greet their queen, before casting hard and menacing looks upon the line of prisoners that were marched inside. It didn't take long for Velvet to catch on either. He had witnessed Cadance and the Mane 5 enter the treehouse, and had also contacted Black Blade for permission to engage. She's even madder now. "I don't think there's much we can do Shining. "Now I must return to the palace. Twilight sobbed harder, the group watching on in stunned silence. "Uhh, Pinkie, that isn't entirely the case". With that, Luna spread her wings, before flying off into the distance. "Twilight, I won't fool around with you. Twilight Sparkle grapples with her conflicted feelings when she finds out her brother, Shining Armor, is marrying Princess Celestia's niece, Princess Cadance. Universe. Asked Twilight Velvet. Accidents do happen. ", "But that's not true Granny Smith! Every second of her absence is killing me. Art Chat Fanfiction General Discussion Generals Pony Discussion Roleplaying Site and Policy Tagging Discussion Uploader Discussion Post Search. ", "No ma'am. You know why we are here. ", "No Luna. ", "Very good Commander Barbarousis. Nodding to signal their replies, the Mane 5 followed Cadance out of the castle to the train station, leaving the Princess alone in the hall. "With pleasure sir!" Velvet and Night looked at each other in surprise, before returning their gaze to Luna. "He is the captain of the Canterlot's Royal Guard" explain Twilight. "No Granny Smith. Asked Twilight, shocked. There was silence, and for a time, nothing seemed to be happening. "CHARGE!" This time we harvest, and then we kill. It's not like that!" "Cadance, is there anything else you wish to tell me?". Also, we did not know it at the time, but their leader, Queen Chrysalis, had managed to somehow infiltrate the city, taking the place of the bride after locking her in the Canterlot Caves.". A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 is the twenty-fifth episode of the second season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the fifty-first overall. As a teacher, Celestia was extremely disappointed in herself. "Changelings! Eventually, the spell reached its climax as both Night and Velvet were completely enveloped by the light. With that, Spike nodded and marched up to the door, Cadance stepping aside. "Well, there was the time Twilight went crazy about her friendship reports to Princess Celestia. Surely they won't allow themselves to be defeated as easily as last time! She understood that Cadance was trying to play peacemaker, but the odds were against her, and the Mane 5 too. You're no fool. Taking a deep breath, Spike proceeded to talk. In a sudden rush of sheer and profound joy, Twilight's suspicions about the Fake Cadance were finally cemented with her discovery of the real Cadance, because if she were wrong about Fake Cadance being evil, trying to defend her case would be a foal's gambit. ", "As much as I respect and admire your loyalty to your family Captain, I'm afraid your duties lie elsewhere. Twilight needs us, and we're getting to her one way or another!" His attention soon returned to the royal sisters, who were just finishing up Luna's interrogation. "Nervous?" "Lieutenant, I must inform the Princess of the attack on the settlement. Suddenly, the hall's doors opened to reveal Cadance, who had come bearing news for Celestia. Trust me girls, I've known Twilight for a long, long time. And all this came from me feeling alone and abandoned, just like Twilight was.". "You may see her, young Spike, but take heed. 1,069 users online The pain in her heart had become too great. Replied Applejack spiritedly. But when it was my turn to wake..they were nowhere to be found. But what she saw instead was a small settlement, complete with an equally small garrison of Royal Guards. ah' was crying last night because of something terrible that ah' did. Leading the Earth ponies was Commander Barbarousis. Twilight faced him, neither smiling nor frowning. And don't come back unless you want to be my friends again!". The finest spy in my intelligence corps.". "We are Twilight's friends! One thing was for certain, the girls had a tough job ahead of them, and it did not seem likely they'd succeed, given the charges against them. HOME; ABOUT US; PRODUCTS; CONTACT US; Home / Trends / a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction. Celestia cried. "That is true, but here's the thing Granny Smith." The only thing she couldn't imagine happening, however, was a second invasion. ", "You don't exactly look like it darling. "Surrender? Said Shining, who stepped aside to allow Luna to comfort her distraught sister. If no resolution could be reached, fighting could then begin. The obvious coldness that the group could feel radiating off her. How are we gonna be friends with her again if we can't forgive ourselves?!". Applejack replied. How could they simply leave her hurt and alone after everything she had done for them? Yelled Rainbow, equally as shocked as the Sun Princess. What.why are you here? The other girls silently nodded as they cried; even if they were to try again, the same result will be apparent and they didn't want that if they were going to get Twilight to be their friend once again. "What gives you the right to question me, AJ?" "Girls" Sobbed Twilight. With that, Twilight galloped back upstairs, utterly offended. That was uncalled fer!" The couple were furious at Celestia and the Mane 5, and respectively angry at Shining for treating Twilight the way they did, and Luna could tell the level of anger they felt was potent enough to allow the Nightmare Forces to exploit it and subsequently corrupt them, therefore she had to act quickly so as to deliver them from evil.
