//------------------------------// // Interlude // Story: Derpy's Family reunion // by thewriter133 //------------------------------// INTERLUDE Meanwhile in Canterlot Princess Celestia was receiving some horrible and disastrous news.She was pacing uncontrollably and nervously. She spoke in a huff “Where is my idiotic sister. I need her here now! Where is that STUPID SLUT!” her royal voice reverberating off the walls and shattering a few windows. “SISTER! HOW DARE YOU!” Luna’s royal voice cried out knocking the stressed mare off her feet. She looked into the blazing eyes of her sister and yelped cowering. She then felt her sister’s wing around her. She whimpered. Luna looked down at her sister. and sighed saying “what is the problem Cellie? Why are you so stressed?” Celestia looked into her sister’s eyes. She lowered her head and whispered “The thing I have been running from is back I can't face it after all these years.” “Then maybe, dear Celestia, you call the rest of the council.” The two mares looked up to see Discord sitting on a pink cloud with a champagne glass of chocolate milk in his claw.” Celestia shivered saying “you hear to finish me off honey?” Discord smiled saying “hardly.” Discord pulled up a tv from nowhere and sat down with popcorn in his claws. On the screen stood a black mare with holes in her legs. She looked like swiss cheese. Discord spoke “seems your mistakes have caught up to you. But I sense something even more dangerous over the horizon. How strange this feeling is.” -------------------------------------------- In the Everfree forest stood a black mare with holes all over her body. She stood talking to a chimera and a cockatrice with sunglasses on. She looked at the two and spoke “Generals are your armies ready? We march into Ponyville tomorrow. If we can destroy the elements of harmony we can conquer all of equestria in the name of our Lord. We will be benevolent saviors freeing the ponies from the tyranny of the sun and the moon.” A voice near her spoke “Crysalis save your speech for the troops.” The cocatrice squacked and leaped into the air joyusly. And the Chimera bowed. The voice spoke again “Seems all is ready. May our dread god watch us and help us in battle.” ----------------------------------------- Several thrones appeared two were occupied by a pink Alicorn and a white unicorn. Another was occupied by a vicious looking bear with scars on his face and some of his scraggly fur was white. The last two held the emblems of the sun and the moon. And the tallest one happened to be shaped like a giant chicken. This was the one Discord sat on. They saw Crysalis on the screen and the pink Alicorn spoke venomously “I thought she was dead.” ------------------------------- Crysalis sat looking out the cave. She was mournful and lost in thought. Her mind wandered back to when she had been forcefully removed from Canterlot. She was flying through the air and she landed on a bunch of stones breaking her body. In her pain fogged mind she saw her nemesis Cadence. The mare had sat down in front of her watching curiously. She felt her body strengthen. She was soon enveloped in a pink aura that mended her bones and chitin. From that day onward Cadence would secretly visit her feeding her. She in turn tried to feed her remaining children. But one day that all changed. Cadence had been followed by that bitch Celestia. Celestia had used her magic to bind Cadence and forced her to watch as she tortured the changeling. The final kick was when Celestia had severed her connection to her children and bound her in immortality so that she would forever be alone. This had been enough to break Cadence who surrendered and eventually became a queen herself. That was when he appeared. He offered her redemption and she took it. His gold eyes attracted her to him. But soon her learning from him lead her down this dark path. She had gouged out his eye in her attempt to escape judgement for releasing the wyrm. Now her life belonged to the wyrm and it enjoyed the petty insect that she was. ----------------------------------------- Cadence looked at the frail sleeping form on the screen and hid her face to hide the tears. Her husband knew of her tryst with the changeling queen but had chose to ignore the fact. Discord sat there and looked over to the Princess’ Luna and Celestia. He smiled his snaggle toothed grin. He spoke “so the mistake of the past will come back to haunt you. It’s just as the prophecy foretelling the return of The Wyrm of Destruction foretold. He is here in Equestria and the only people who may have a chance to stop him will be destroyed tomorrow unless someone does something to warn them.” With that Luna bolted out the door.
