“Did it work?” Celestia asked as she fell to the ground. The fire had left her mane and tail, they were now made of pink hair, she had also lost about a foot in size.
“Are you ok?” Luna looked at her in concern.
“I’m fine, just low on magic.” Celestia replied. “So, did we win?”
“I believe so,” Luna said as she looked at the fallen changeling. Chrysalis was lying on the ground coughing, one of her legs was bent the wrong way and she had several burns. “What do we do with her?”
“I’m not sure.”
“You think you’ve won?” Chrysalis asked as she weakly glared at the sisters. “This is not over.”
“Get over it changeling,” Luna said. “You have lost.”
“Not yet.” She let out a screech and was then surrounded by a sudden swarm of changelings.
Some of them raised a shield to protect their queen. The horns on the rest began to glow before they began to heal Chrysalis. Once they stopped, looking very tired the queen weakly got up. Her horn then glowed before all the changelings were enveloped in a green aura. After a few seconds Chrysalis began to fully recover. As she fully healed the changelings around her fell to the ground dead.
“Did you just kill all of them?” Luna asked in shock.
“In a way,” Chrysalis said as she got up. “They gave their life energy to heal their beloved queen.”
“I guess this is it sister,” Luna said sadly. She was spent from that last spell and Celestia was barely able to move.
“Indeed it is.” Chrysalis smirked as she began to move towards them. “Still think your little human is coming?”
Loud pony.
“What!?” The princess looked around in confusion.
You may want to protect anybody there you care for. I’m sending something your way.
Concerned Luna quickly raised a shield around herself and every other pony in the cave.
“You think this can protect you?” Chrysalis laughed. “Nothing can-”. There was then a sudden explosion behind the queen. “What?” Then a strange tear appeared in the ceiling and something came out. Slamming into the ground, it caused a massive shock-wave that sent Chrysalis flying back. Luna had to strain to keep the shield up as the blast hit it.
“How’s that for an entrance?”
“Sean?” Luna asked in shock. She lowered the shield as the human came to stand next to them.
“Of course.” Sean rolled his eyes. “How many humans do you know?”
“Hello Sean,” Celestia said, waving slightly.
“Celestia you’re alive!” Sean then surprised both princesses by hugging her.
“As much as I appreciate the affection your arm is right on my injury,” Celestia said as she winced.
“Sorry.” Sean quickly let her go and took a step back. “What’s up with your hair? It’s weird looking.”
“I’m tired and weakened, I’m sorry if it displeases you,” Celestia said indignantly
“Whatever.” Sean shrugged. “So, where’s Chrysalis?” He then stumbled forward as a bolt of green magic hit him. “Never mind.”
“I’m not sure how you survived, but it won’t happen again,” Chrysalis said as she glared at the human.
“Sure it will.” Sean smirked as he turned to face her. “You are extremely incompetent after all.”
“I beat you last time.”
“True, but I have a new trick up my sleeve.”
“It won’t save you,” Chrysalis said as she glared at Sean before transforming into her own human form
“We’ll see.” He then charged at the changeling, once he neared her he jabbed at her head. Smirking, Chrysalis easily dodged before grabbing his forearm and twisting it until there was a crack. Sean cried out in pain before managing to punch her off.
“Did you really learn nothing from our last fight?” Chrysalis asked smugly.
“Of course I did,” Sean said rubbing his arm as it healed. “I was just seeing if you had weakened.” He then vanished.
“What?” The queen looked around in confusion.
“Behind you.”
“Huh?” Turning Chrysalis quickly met Sean’s fist. Chrysalis fell to the ground, holding her face in pain.
“How was that?” Sean asked, smiling down at the changeling. Growling Chrysalis swept his legs, knocking him over.
“I’m not sure how you did that,” Chrysalis said as she got up. “But you’re going to still lose.”
“Who is the one with a bleeding face right now?” Sean pointed at her. “Oh yeah, it’s you.”
“I can’t wait to kill you again.” Chrysalis prepared to crush his skull.
“No thanks.” Sean then vanished before appearing next to the changeling. “You like this? My dad calls it planewalking. It’s a lot of fun.” Sean ducked as Chrysalis swung a fist at him. “He gave me some speech about how I can only travel in my world. Then a whole warning about ravenous brain something, I wasn’t really listening.”
“Do you ever shut up?” Chrysalis growled as she tried to kick him. The human blocked her leg, quickly grabbing the ankle he swung her over his head and into the ground.
“Only when I’m dead.” Sean cracked his knuckles. “Which you soon will be.” His voice suddenly deepened. Chrysalis jumped up and away from Sean.
“You don’t scare me.”
“That’s a shame.” Sean smirked. “Where’s the fun if you can’t see their terror? I’ll just have to fix it.” He then vanished again. As he reappeared behind Chrysalis the changeling suddenly turned before grabbing his torso and flipping backwards. The human’s skull slammed into the ground, blood managing to splatter all around them.
“You can only trick me so many times,” Chrysalis said as she got up. “Teleportation can become very predictable.”
“Oh, this does so much more than teleport.” Sean coughed up blood as he recovered. “I can do things like this.” A portal then appeared above and below Chrysalis. She fell through the one under her then came out the other. This began an endless cycle as she fell through the portals. After getting up Sean smiled and watched. “Look Luna, real life portal.”
“Sister, does something seem a bit off about Sean?” Luna asked.
“Indeed it does.” Celestia nodded.
“Bored now,” Sean said before suddenly moving one of the portals onto a nearby wall. The changeling was sent flying across the cave. Chrysalis slammed into the ground, coughing some blood. “So are you ready to die?” Chrysalis just laughed before her horn glowed, most of her injuries vanished and she teleported away. “Ugh, I just finished beating you!”
“That’s a shame, because now you will lose.” Chrysalis said before transforming into Celestia.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Sean asked before charging at the queen. Before she could react he had grabbed her by the horn and began punching her in the face and gut.
“It’s a good thing she just looks like you,” Luna said as she flinched.
“Are done wasting my time?” Sean asked, his voice had deepened further.
“Let’s try this,” Chrysalis said weakly before kicking him in the chest. Sean growled and dropped her. Stumbling slightly the changeling quickly transformed into a familiar purple unicorn.
“This could be a problem,” Luna said. “Should we interfere?”
“Chrysalis will soon pass out, even though he won’t attack he’ll still-”
“You think that will stop me?” Sean glared at the unicorn. “I’ve killed more threatening things for breakfast!” He then disappeared before reappearing behind Chrysalis and punching her in the back of the head. “You will die.” Sean grabbed her by the horn before smashing her into the ground. He then created a portal and threw the changeling through it. As she came out another he grabbed her throat and bashed her against a wall.
“Ok, something is definitely wrong.” Luna’s eyes widened. “We have to stop him.” The alicorn then ran towards the human.
“Give me your knowledge,” Sean said as he grabbed Chrysalis’s head, his hands then began to glow green. After a few seconds the changeling cried in pain. Soon the glow vanished and Chrysalis looked to be in horrible pain, there was also distant look in her eyes as they glazed over slightly. “Since that’s out of the way, tell me Chrysalis,” Sean asked as he brought her to his face. The human’s voice had deepened further, his eyes turned green, and he had grown at least a foot. “Where in the world would you like to go? A volcano? The bottom of the ocean? Oh I know, you like being Celestia so much how about the sun?” A portal then appeared next to them.
“Please, stop,” Chrysalis said weakly, transforming to her usual form. “I’m sorry.”
“Oh, you’re sorry.” The human chuckled. “You should have gained some remorse a month ago. Bye bye.” He prepared to throw her into the rift. Then there was a flash and she was out of Sean’s grip. “What!?” He looked back. “Luna!”
“I can’t let you kill her Sean,” Luna said as she stood over the bleeding and now unconscious queen.
“You dare defy me!?” Sean then turned his hand into a dragon head before slamming it into the ground. After a few seconds a tear in the ground appeared and a trail of fire flew towards her. Luna quickly raised a shield, barely managing to keep it up from the hit.
“That’s enough Sean!” A voice commanded. Sean looked behind him to see a glaring Celestia.
“You want to fight too?”
“Calm down,” Celestia said her voice becoming softer but still filled with authority. “There is something wrong with your mind right now.”
“I’m fine.” Sean growled before charging at her.
“I am sorry about this.” Celetia’s horn glowed. Sean then cried out in pain, falling to the ground.
“What is this?” He asked, the human began to grip his head. “It hurts!” He then passed out before transforming into a yellow pegasus.
“Wow,” Luna said as she looked at the unconscious human. “What was that?”
“You remember that fail-safe spell I told you about?” Celestia asked.
“That was it?” Luna asked in surprise.
“Yes, it locks down his changeling magic and sends an electric charge through him.”
“What do we do with him?”
“When he wakes up we will see if he’s back to normal,” Celestia said as she watched the pegasus twitch on the ground.
