Argyle Starshine has spent much of his life searching for relics from the long-dead past, and finally makes the discovery of a lifetime.

This story is a sequel to Anarchy: Pony of Chaos

Part of the Anarchyverse.

Anarchy and her friends are ready for their first real Nightmare Night together, and the stars have aligned to make this one of the most memorable Nightmare Nights in Ponyville history.

Now, whether or not it turns out to be the last Nightmare Night in Ponyville history remains to be seen. But between three of Discord and Fluttershy's children cutting loose, one batpony defying millennia of his tribe's traditions, one scared Cozy Glow dealing with her past, one former Changeling Queen out for sugary treats, and a magical duel between Starswirl, Trixie Lulamoon, and Grogar himself...

Yeah. Ponyville might be in trouble.

Given the circumstances that had found her permanently posed in granite, Chrysalis hardly expected to find herself freed from that state by Starlight Glimmer herself - much less asked for help by her number-one nemesis.

But for Starlight Glimmer and Spike, all other alternatives are exhausted. Something is sickening the changelings: A disease which spreads by no clear vector, no observable cause, and has no known history in their species. If any information or hope of a cure exists, it may very well reside with the mind of their former queen.

But coercing Chrysalis to cooperate for the sake of those she views as traitors will be hard enough, and even if she does, what will the consequences of her information be?

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns III, using the prompt Chrysalis / Perseverance.

After magic has been restored everything should have gone back to normal and everypony was supposed to forget about the Royal families deception of Zephyr Heights... Except they didn't.

With Queen Haven going back home early to "straighten everything out" the sisters hope that they won't be landing in jail either, but that's not good enough for Pipp. Her second family, her fans, all the pegasi that called themselves the PippSqueaks felt betrayed and hurt by their idol.

Pipp wants them back more than anything, she wants to go back to Zephyr Heights and make it right with everypony and to do that she will have to dig deep into why she even is an idol and will end up doing something she has never done before to try to get them back. Open up on live TV.

After Pipp sees a website promoting a digital detox, she decides to have a go. Zipp is amused. Unsure of what to do without her phone, Pipp tags along with her sister on a day trip.... without phones?

Warning: I haven't watched the movie itself This story was written just before I saw the movie, having only read the story line... and read stories... and watched reviews... and seen spoilers... If there are any small inconsistencies, that's why.

Also, an Invisible Band is the equivalent of a pony smartwatch which is 'invisible' because it is hidden under the pony's coat hair.
