"Chrysalis, I've Come To Bargain!"

With a gulp, Starlight lit her horn in a flourish of magic.

Having finally found Chrysalis’ hiding place, she could hear the former Changeling Queen muttering under her breath as green light flowed from where she was moving around. Finally waving her head to seal her spell, she stepped out of the shadows.

“Queen Chrysalis! I’ve come to bargain!”

With a shout, Chrysalis turned around to face her coup d’etat. “YOU!”

“Yes, Chrysalis, me. I really wanted to make this work, you know. Please, accept my hoof of friendship,” Starlight pleaded. Chrysalis growled in anger.

“You’ve come to die!” she shouted as her own horn glowed a sickly green. “I will never accept your friendship!” With a powerful stomp of her hoof, Chrysalis began a barrage of green spikes that Starlight quickly put a shield spell against. The bolts of magic were stronger than she had anticipated, however, and added to the fact she was maintaining another spell at the same time, her shield soon began to crack under the force.

With a loud shout of pain, her shield shattered and she was pierced by a thousand lances of energy-

Starlight stepped out of the shadows.

“Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight announced, her horn still glowing.

“YOU!” Chrysalis shouted with narrowed eyes, getting into a battle stance.

“Come on, Chrysalis. We can make this work. I just want to prove to you that there’s another way! Be my friend!”

“You’ve come to die! I will never accept your friendship!” Chrysalis screamed in rage. She couldn’t help but feel like she’d done this before. Starlight lit up a shield but it was useless. With an intense green explosion of pure changeling magic, Starlight was no more-

Starlight stepped out of the shadows.

“Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain,” Starlight said this time with some trepidation.

“YOU- Hey!” Chrysalis growled before looking around in anger. “What are you doing?!”

“Nothing at all, Chrysalis,” Starlight said before Chrysalis shook her head.

“Good! Because you will die for stealing my kingdom from me!” With a blast of her horn, Chrysalis obliterated Starlight where she stood-

“Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight shouted, jumping in front of Chrysalis.

“Gah! What is this trickery?!” Chrysalis yelled in fury.

“I brought a little something with me in case you got angry and tried to kill me.” She then motioned to her horn which pulsed in regular intervals. “My forte, Time! Time, Chrysalis! A never-ending loop, one that won't end if you don’t accept my hoof!”

“I will NEVER!” Chrysalis said as she conjured two spears of magic and impaled Starlight thoroughly-

“Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!”

“Why are you doing this to me!?” Chrysalis raged as she rose in her own changeling magic. It had looped once again.

“So that we can come to an agreement. So that I can gain your trust, your friendship!” Starlight shouted over the swirling winds.

“Then you will spend an eternity dying for what you did!” Chrysalis’ eyes glowed bright green.

“If it means becoming your friend, then so be it.”

With that, Chrysalis unleashed a telepathic wave which turned Starlight’s head into mush-

“Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight sighs as she walks out of the shadows again.

“You cannot do this forever!” Chrysalis cried as what she had been working on came to life.

“Actually, I can. I will only stop when you finally accept me as your friend!”

“Not in a million years!” Chrysalis exclaimed as her magical bomb exploded everything around them-

“Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight continued as she rolled out of the shadows.

Stop this at once,” Chrysalis hissed as magical tendrils shot from the ground, gripping Starlight and twisting her into odd angles, sounding the sound of bones snapping and cracking-

“Chrysalis-!” Starlight cried but was silenced when she was suffocated in an airless vacuum-

“Chrysalis, I’ve-!” she tried to say but died under a pile of Tribbles.

Chrysalis-!” she exclaimed but choked horribly on a forcefully lodged peanut-

“Chrysalis-” She got slammed into a nearby worktable and was impaled-

“Chrysalisplease-!” she said quickly but was blown away by a magical cannon-

“Hear me out-!” she tried to explain but was crushed under a giant rock (presumably Tom)-

“Chrys-!” She fell into the void-

“No-!” A dragon roasted her-

“Wai-!” Chrysalis stabbed her with her horn-

“Chrysalis-!” Her limbs were torn off by timberwolves-

“Chryssie-” She got stepped on by an Ursa-

“Take my-” She-

“Hoof of-” Tries-

“Frien-” To-

“-dship-” Say-

“Please-!” But-

“Gah-!” Fails-

“Hey-!” She cries-

“Wait-!” She tries-

“Agh-!” She shouts-

“Stop-!” She dies-

“CHRYSALIS!” She yells-

“Blorgle-!” Starlight drowned-

“Wah-!” She got slapped with a million tons of force-

“Seriously-!” Starlight wheezed as she was tickled to death-

“SERIOUSLY-?!” Windigo’s were summoned and froze her-

“Oh my-!” She was teleported up and died falling from a high place-

“OH MY-!” She got eaten by a manticore-

“SWEET CELESTIA-!” She died from sheer shock after seeing something I, the author, cannot describe lest this be rated teen or higher-

The loop reset once more and Starlight stepped out of the shadows for the nth time. “Chrysalis, please!” she tried once more as she conjured up as much magical energy to form two invincible shields of magic which she whirled around her in a quick fashion. Glowing green rainbow cupcakes bashed against her shields.

With a huff, Chrysalis sighed. “What!?” To her own honesty, she was getting tired of killing Starlight over and over again. Infinity can do that to you.

“Be my friend, and I’ll let you be. Please. I want you to understand that friendship isn’t bad, it’s what brings people together. It’s what gave you the love you needed to feed the hive, yet you continually fed off of us like parasites! It could’ve been a mutual bond, something we could’ve worked on together!” Starlight was finally able to say with no interruptions of sudden death. The cupcakes disappeared. “We can even cause mischief together?”

Chrysalis stared silently at Starlight’s now outstretched hoof, contemplating the meaning of eternity, 42, and Starlight’s own annoying incompetence. She couldn’t help but think of what might be able to come to fruition from this friendship...

Slowly, she lifted her own hoof and…


“So now you’re friends?” Twilight asked in disbelief.

“Pretty much,” Starlight shrugged as she walked to the doorway. “Starlight was very annoying, but she got me to come around.”

“W-wait, you’re not Starlight?” Twilight inquired worriedly.

“Nope, I’m Chrysalis!” Starlight’s form shimmered between a tall carapaced Changeling Queen and Twilight’s protege. “Starlight said I could be her for the day to try and fit in!”

Twilight stared on in disbelief as she watched Chrysalis walk away as Starlight Glimmer. How had Starlight been able to reform her like that? Questions that needed to be answered for Twilight, but her mind was taken off the matter when her Book Senses tingled. “Spike! What have you done to the library!?” she yelled as she grabs a fire extinguisher and rushes to the Literary Haven.

Meanwhile, outside in the hallway…

Starlight and Chrysalis were having a fun time making fun of Twilight. “She had a few twitchy hairs, didn’t she?” Starlight snorted, trying to hold back a giggle.

“Oh yes, she definitely almost went crazy when I told her!” Chrysalis bellowed before impersonating Twilight. “Oh my! She was reformed just like that?!

“Bwahahaha!” Starlight finally broke as she rolled on the floor laughing. Chrysalis joined her on the floor and soon they helped each other up and headed outside of the library.

“So, now that you’re kind-of good, what do you wanna do?” Starlight asked her newest friend.

Chrysalis smirked and then flamed into the form of Rainbow Dash. It was all Starlight needed, and a smile formed on her face.

“Oh, she’s gonna love this!”

Author's Note:

"Can I kill you later?"

"You've already killed me at least a dozen times!"

"Oh, right."

And, the difference between 'parody' and 'carbon copy for the sake of a lazy cheap laugh' is...?

Okay, this got a smile out of me. I knew Chryssy would come around eventually. :p

Well done!

7788473 So, for future reference...

You're one of them folks who puts no effort into anything that they make publicly viewable, aren't you?

Uh, what did I just read here. This was the weirdest and most strangest story that I have EVER read. A+ for very strange and interesting hope to see another just like it soon. Maybe one where Celestia does this to Sunset Shimmer.

7788480 No, I am not one of those folks who put no effort into anything I make publicly viewable.

I just thought it would be fun to have a more ponified version of this particular scene. I mean, if I was pumping out carbon copies of pop culture I would've been found out by now. Plus, I probably wouldn't have as many followers. Adding to this list would have to be that I'm an idjit with no imagination whatsoever.

I'm probably not ripping my hair out right now trying to figure out a HiE I'm writing. You know.

Cause I'm unoriginal like that.

I love criticism!

7788490

Maybe one where Celestia does this to Sunset Shimmer.

I'm... not sure how that would work...

Actually was pretty good. Good job!

Time abIilites are so broken.

7788588 You can say that again-

You can say that again-

You can say that again-

You can-

That was beautiful! Are you going to continue in some manner the shennanigains they get up to in another story perhaps?

7788605 Sure, if you all really want.

It would be fun to explore that background, so I very well might!

CELESTIA DAMMIT MAN WHAT DID STARLIGHT SEE THAT MADE HER DIE ON SIGHT OF IT.,., (pm me that..I'm curious)

Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain. Dormamu, I've come to bargain.

That's it Starlight! No more Marvel movies for you! :rainbowlaugh:

:rainbowlaugh:
Hehehe... this was pretty funny.

A little obvious, but still funny. I think it would be quite in-character for Starlight to attempt this tactic.

One minor criticism though, some of her deaths are described in the present tense, but the story is mostly in past tense, so they should be as well.

7789023 Thanks for the comment and the edit! I'll fix it when I have time :twilightsmile:

How many seconds in eternity?

This got a good chuckle out of me. Good job. :pinkiesmile:

I assume the loop is linked to Starlight's death so couldn't Chrysalis could just contain Starlight, then it wouldn't loop.

I loved this scene.
I love this story.
Absolute gold. You have made me laugh and smile. Keep up the good work!

I was kinda expecting Dr. Strange to make a brief appearance.

7788460 7789192 7789023
To be honest, I've felt that for Chrysalis it would be more in character to shake hooves with Starlight, and then kill her once again, this time forever.

Probably should be teen rated, but eh. This was quite amusing and silly.

"Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens it beak on a diamond mountain... And when the mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed..."

Must see pranking spree...

On the other hand, based on what we have seen from the two of them so far, Starlight could probably overwhelm Chrissy with raw power in this scenario. The only reason she didn't in the finale was that convenient only-changeling-magic stone. Since all of Chrissy's power is stolen, she'd be pretty weak if she's been hiding.

7789397 I want to see Chrysalis get punched. No magic. no spells or crap. I just want one pony, ANYPONY, canon or oc, to punch her right in the face. And make a sick bone-crunching sound effect as it happens.

Come on Hasbro! You tore off Rainbow Dash's wing and ripped part of her ear off in the timeline change episodes, you can do this!

I think the single biggest objection I have to this is that the only way this could even have a hope of working is if we assume that throughout all her trials and tribulations, Starlight Glimmer has learned nothing about friendship, and especially learned nothing about using magic as a shortcut to friendship.

7789348 "And when the world finally stops making fun of Justin Beiber and the Kardashians, five seconds of eternity will have passed."

It's funny because I saw the movie. Love it. Points for you.

Oh my god. :facehoof:

7788459 When someone like you isn't being a judgemental asshole.

7788503 with awkward porn. Again, and again, and again. Until they became to tired to argue anymore. Then some more porn. And then reformation. Easy, actually! :pinkiehappy:

“SWEET CELESTIA-!” She dies from sheer shock after seeing something I, the author, cannot describe lest this be rated teen or higher-

This really should be rated teen anyway for semi-vague descriptions of dozens of grisly demises.

Have to say, it was kinda fun, but this was almost a dead rip-off of Doctor Strange. You barely ponified it at all. You could put literally any two characters there and call it a fanfic. I guess what I'm saying is I wish you'd thought of more MLPish things like the Radioactive (I'm assuming) Rainbow Cupcakes.

Lesson for the day kids

This 7788459 is reasonably calling someone out on something.

This 7788480 is just being a dick.

7789661 Actually, I'd argue they're both unreasonable levels of dickishness. The first just insults the story material instead of the author, which can easily fool people into believing it's a more reasonable statement and constitutes actual criticism.

What's particularly awful about the second comment is the fact that the commenter makes a snap judgment about the quality of the author's work, based on the commenter's negative opinion of the only two stories by the author that he's actually bothered to read. The sheer absurdity of such an assumption is such that it absorbs most of the negativity one feels towards the first comment, until the first comment actually seems reasonable by comparison.

I never want this to end!:pinkiehappy:

7789608 It's spelled 'judgmental'.

7789699 The point still stands jack ass.

7789704 Oh, I'm not disputing that. You're entirely correct in identifying me as a judgmental asshole. I just felt obliged to correct your spelling. It's the little things.

Nice icon, by the way. Very stylish.

7789710 ..... thanks.

7789714 You're very welcome. I hope you have a lovely day of making a positive impact on people's lives.

7789726 Mhm. Hope you have a good day of being a dick to people.

7789727 I was thinking of spending my day quietly reading stuff that I think I'll actually enjoy and keeping a wide berth from people who piss me off, but if you insist...

As a person who has done this exact same thing before but with a different hilarious scene, I approve of the ponification. :moustache:

Not that it means anything really.

7789740
7789727

Guys guys guys. Now, I'm all about arguing viewpoints but this is absurd. Please try and not taint my comments section with a flame war.

Apart from that, have a good day!

Thank you.
