//------------------------------// // Epilogue II // Story: Maybe it... // by Fat1thatyoulove //------------------------------// Epilogue 2 - ...Nightmare You listen to the grey black pony that stands in front of you, her voice is a very weak and raspy variation of what she once sounded like...but the nightmares that she brings back echoes through your mind in the same tone as her echoing laugh, "Hello, human..." "Long time n...-" Chrysalis is struck by an intensely bright purple bolt... You let out a cry of pain as the wind is knocked out of you and you fall over onto the ground thriving in pain...it feels like you have just been shot again and you fur on the front of your coat aches with a sensation of a burn. Twilight quickly turns her head to you with a speechless and awestruck expression. You turn your head on the ground as you look at the grey black pony, her legs have more holes then you remember and her mane is a much darker blue-green. She lets out a painful laugh as she staggers back to where Violet sits, "o-oh T-twilight...you should not act so fassssst." Her tough flicks as she stares at the lavender mare. "HOW are you alive Chrysalis!" Twilight keeps her horn lowered towards Chrysalis as the bug queen answers back thought her signature nightmare bringing laugh, "ssssshhaa, did you really think Celestia body trap spell would stop me?!" She lets out a sickening cough as she laughs again,"....The most powerful mare in all of Equestria?! Her jagged see through bug like wings flicker off her back a little as she comes down from her laughing comment, "Now Twilight don't think I will take all the credit...you helped me spike my waiting time." She smiles as she continues, "...If I had to wait the whole eleven months...who knows I may not have made it." Twilight is silent as she stares intensely at Chrysalis. "Ah...yes Twilight...go on now...feed your queen your fears and regrets..." Chrysalis gives a wicked laugh as she shifts her dull green eyes between you two. As she comes down from her laugh Violets wheezing whimpering can be heard from behind her. Chrysalis smiles as she listen to her, her jagged fang like teeth hang from her mouth as she talks,"Oh yes...I forgot about my little Princess... I’m sorry I had to get rid of your voice...but can't have you crying throughout your dream all night ca..-" As she turns her body just an inch toward Violet another large purple bolt struck her. And just like before your sent into a pain driven scream as it feels like someone kicking your back with all their might. You arch your back out in pain as you start to give a light weep. Twilight screams as she looks to you, "Stop DOING that Chrysalis!" Chrysalis hold her skinny body up with her holed hoof on the stone table as she give another pain filled laugh, "Twilight, I-I'm not doing anything... you are." She gives a wicked coughing as she listens to Twilight’s struggling to understand. "H-o...you can't...th-..." "Oh yesss Twilight, Celestia spell has backfired on her!" Her hole punched leg extends to you as she talks, "To save his life she used a transformation spell, but you my little human were already changing into my puppet! The only way to save you was to combine us!" She gives a devilish smile to you and Twilight as she brings her head around to Violet, "...But I guess that had its perks didn't it Violeta?" You struggle to push yourself up as you call back to her, "OH ya! Where combined hu?" Your body is shaking and you pause as you turn to Twilight fearing your next unchangeable words, "Twilight...hit me with it..." She shakes her head furiously as she stutters, "I- I Can't...please PLEASE don't ask me please." She brings her head to the ground as Chrysalis laugh echoes in the room. "Oh Twilight, as to why Celestia has let you get this far with him is beyond me." She turns her devilish smiling face back to you both as she talks, "...You have failed Twilight, you have let this come between you and your duties to Equestria...and now you and Celestia are powerless to stop me." Chrysalis back to Violet with a smile. Twilight shifts in a shaking motion as she holds her head to the grey-black pony. You shake as you feel your own magical flow start up under your coat...you stare at the stone dirt covered floor as you talk in a low voice, "Chrysalis...you tormented me once..." You bring your head from the ground as you feel the sensation in your body grow, "...I would rather die than let you do it again..." At the end of your words you close your eyes and let your magic flow from you. Chrysalis turns shocked at your words for a moment and fearfully backs up from the stream of purple magic that now engulfs her...but her fear is subsided as she starts to laugh, "OH human...this weak spell is only going to make me heal faster... I see you still have not gotten any better with your magic use." You bring your eyes open as Twilight's voice hits you, "Don't! Please!" You smile to her as you feel the flows intensity increasing. Chrysalis laugh starts to fade as the purple glow around her brightens, "What are you do-ing?!" Her grey black coat darkens fast and her holes start to fill...but it doesn't stop, her body is now being encased in a purple glow, "Stop Ssstop this at once! Your Queen commands you! Stop!" Chrysalis brings her glowing hooves up to her face as she start to hyperventilate, "St-StopPp!--" Her voice is cut off as the loud chiming sound turns into a echoing high pitch ring. Chrysalis body starts to almost look like its dissolving as the light swirls around her cutting your sight off from her. You feel very weak as the bright purple swirl brightens the cave...with a loud proofing bang the light sprays across the room in sparkles that slowly fall to the ground. You collapse onto your front hooves as you struggle to breath. Twilight runs to Violet and scoops her up in her grasp and holds her tight with the intention of never putting her down. You bring your eyes from the ground with a smile as you watch Twilight nuzzle the calming down filly's head. Twilight raises her head on the fillies as she looks at you. A purple light starts to glow from your coat and you feel a different tingling sensation start to build on the outer lay of your coat...it feels like a thousand needles stabbing you. You only look at the light for a brief moment as your fears of the unknown build...you bring your eye back up to Twilight as you smile. Her eyes are puffy but she doesn't look like she can cry any more...she tightens her grasp around Violet as she talks, "You promised you wouldn't leave me..." You give a teary eyed smile as you nod your head. She quivers her lips as she stammers on her next words, "Y-you can't leave us like this." You hold the smile as your voice cracks up, "Twilight...I lov-" Your voice is cut off as the light springing from your body finally engulfs you, the feeling that overtakes you feels almost like a strange teleportation spell, but your thoughts are lost as your sight of the room fades. Twilight stares at the spot where you were unable to bring her eyes from it...Violet pushes against her as she tries to turn to where your voice was. But Twilight holds her tight as her friends familiar voices are heard down the caves tunnels. Epilogue 2 end Maybe it can...
