When the wedding ended, everypony, including the two Princesses had let their guard down. The guards became relaxed, the wielders of the elements were allowed home right away, and the captain of the guard, the only one that could create a shield strong enough to keep the creatures away was sent away on honeymoon with his lovely bride.

A week passed before the second wave of Changelings hit. And they hit hard. They invaded the royal grounds, the homes of the elite,and the castle itself. They took the faces of innocent ponies so chaos and confusion of who was who erupted throughout the flanks.

Celestia needed to help her people, and knew she needed to send word- but there were so many this time. A swarm, a real swarm- and it was on closer inspection that Chrysalis had summon every able-body changeling for this full scale attack- grown ones and younglings alike. Forced from the throne room, she took to the air. She watched as the black creatures spilled out of the windows and spirals, as the guards fell one by one. Her own sister was involved this time in the fight, as she remained on the ground.

For each changeling they took down however, three more seemed to take it's place.

The alicorn cried out in fury as her horn glowed a burning white light. Surrounded by the creatures that could took flight, she engulfed them all in a terrible storm of fire and brilliant light. The ponies below watched their princess glowing in that deadly fire and felt themselves become more passionate to protect their home.

This was their home. Theirs.

Luna cheered in joy as she watched those she came to rescue suddenly no longer needing her help. The bakers took their stale bread, the hairdressers their sissors and everyone else,  everything else. And for a glorious moment, without aid of the elements or a powerful shield, it seemed the tide was turning.

It was then the sky turned a sick green color, and from the black clouds that seemed to materialized out of nowhere, fire and ice rained from the sky. The cheers of pride and courage turned to wild fear and terror as they all ran this way and that to avoid the falling debris and destruction. Celestia heard her sister cry out for her, and she went for her. How could she not?

But as she flew down, she found that Luna was flying up. Her face was stricken with terror as she joined her sister and pointed down to the center plaza. The foundation cracked and broke apart as a large creature crawl out of it. It seemed dragon like, but that didn't seem right...

It tore apart the ground like it was butter, and there was a unified howl of horror as one side of the plaza gave and swayed down at a dangerous  angle- threatening to go down and take all the unfortunate ponies on that its side down with it. Celestia gave her sister a desperate expression, and it was well returned.

The two went after the falling half of the city, in hopes that with their combined power, maybe... just maybe...
