Is the same story for her. And is also the same outcome. Chrysalis prepared her plans and took her time to put them in practice with the perfect timing to ensure that she will have her perfect day. But then that said plan failed miserably because not just for her arrogance, but also for the fact that some new pony showed up and destroyed her moment of glory before she can seriously enjoy it. But the most infamous case in particular that hurt her pride so badly was the day in which she was dethroned by Starlight Glimmer.
That pink unicorn then tried to convince her to redeem herself. Chrysalis was hesitant for a second, but then literally refused to accept that. It would be a major insult to her.
"There is no revenge you could ever conceive of that will come close to what I will exact upon you one day, Starlight Glimmer! "
After that, she jumped down jumped down from the rocky hill and ran away from Starlight and rest of the ponies that she has taken as hostages, Celestia and Luna included.
Considering that Thorax was now the new the leader of the Changelings who were changes in very colorful way and that she has no one at her side, Chrysalis went looking for a place that she would use as her new base. The only consolation that she will get from her outrageous defeat was the fact that some of the unchanged wild Changelings would eventually search for her and still support her. After all they have a tradition that they would not contradict since these ones grew up and lived in that way.
Chrysalis traveled around the desolated areas of Equestria, confident that she will eventually accomplish her revenge and, most of all she was right about refusing to be reformed. Otherwise she wouldn't be Chrysalis.
But unknown to her, a grey maned white stallion wearing a pair of sunglasses was watching her movement from afar. He looked upwards and began his short monologue as he was talking with someone from beyond the clouds.
"Hasbro?.... We got a problem."
It's been two weeks since that dreadful day. A large group of changelings who had refused to follow Thorax's pacific ways gathered into the "throne room" inside a forsaken cave, doing their usual duty. Their ranks were slowly increasing, but, despite this being a good thing for their queen, that doesn't change very much for her.
Chrysalis was now laying on a granite slab that she was using now as her own throne, tired and frustrated, indulging in her current laziness. In other words, she was in foul mood since then. Chrysalis has surely another good plan to prepare, but the number of servants wasn't enough for it and she couldn't even focus this much to it due to the memory of her fall burning in her memory and infesting her mind.
Her servants were obviously starting to worry for her, but since they didn't even want to deal with a incoming outburst of anger of her for just even make a comment about about her, they whispered to each other.
"Should we try to console her?" one of them said.
"Are you crazy? We will only end up make her angry." said another one.
"Did you have any better idea?"
"So no love harvest today?"
"Is this the right moment to eat now?"
"What are we even talking about?"
"Should we find some Pinkie Pie's plushie and sacrifice it in her honor?"
"Most dumbest idea ever."
They tried to keep their volume as low as they could, but that cannot prevent their whispering slightly echoing through the
throne room. Chrysalis could hear their whispering increasing a little in volume, which started to annoy her already. She tried to ignore that unbearable chorus. The voices continued to add in number and volume, testing her ability to contain its frustrations. She was even shielding her ear to make obvious her patience weakening. None of her subjects was noticing that. After a short time, her anger finally exploded.
"DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ALL THIS RUCKUS!?"
Her servant flinched in fear for that outburst. Her face was actually frightening, making them think that she i going to give them a "royal" beat down to them. This until her ferocious expression faded very quickly, giving it's place to a very defeated one.
"Just leave me alone." she said in a very stressed voice. "There's no need to worry about me. I just need some rest."
"A-as you wish, our majesty." said changeling #3485.
"I'ts your HIGHNESS... Did you forgot the correct honorific to use?"
The changeling meekly shook his head as his companions were glaring at him. Chrysalis couldn't care less about them. She wanted to rest since her mind was now even more stressed after her outburst. The changelings were leaving the room, giving her the silence that she deserves. This until something clicked her mind, at that something was something too stupid to being ignored.
"Wait a minute, you four!" she commanded without even looking at them.
The last four changelings hesitantly turned toward her and waited for her next words. Chrysalis turned her head toward them with a nervous expression.
"You wanted to sacrifice what in my honor?"
"Nothing. Is just that you needed some punching bag in which you can vent your anger. I admit, is a very stupid idea." changeling #5694 said with a forceful smile.
"The last thing that i want is to hear any stupid idea. I this your way to comfort me?"
"Well, at least no changeling has suggested you to ask that treacherous Thorax to reform you. I'm i right, guys?"
The other three changelings nodded in accordance to him, hoping to not have worsened the humor of their queen. Unfortunately the effect was the opposite as Chrysalis glared a them with a very piercing intensity before screaming again. Knowing what is going to happen, the four changelings flee away from her before she could vent her stress on them.
"THERE NO WAY I WOULD REDEEM MYSELF!" she roared "SAY THAT AGAIN AND I WILL SERIOUSLY OBLITERATE YOU!!"
After that, she was finally alone. She leaned her head on the granite slab and closed her eyes, trying to get ride the nervousness she had accumulated. Being dethroned was a horrible thing to her, but being redeemed was something that she can never accept or conceive in her mind. After all, she as a pride and her own form of dignity to preserve.
"Accept Starlight Glimmer's offer of friendship... That is disgusting. I passed a entire existence feeding on the love of any pony that i came across and trying to take over Equestria. They cannot expect me to redeem my ways. Me? Chrysalis? Chrysalis becoming a good guy? That must be the worst joke ever made. Me accepting to be reformed... What the are they thinking? I was born in that wicked way and i should keep faith to my true nature. Otherwise i wouldn't even call myself Chrysalis. My sinister characteristic is what define me as a villain.... Wait, why i'm being needlessly philosophical all of sudden?..... I think i'm loosing my head for the fatigue."
Chrysalis finally managed to get to the dreamworld after a couple of seconds. In that moment were is no one of her servants to disturb her.
Three hours later...
Chrysalis slowly opened her eyes while she was standing up. She scanned the throne in which she slept, finding no changeling . Chrysalis yawned a little bit as she lifted her hoof to cover her mouth. She tried to move, but was pulled back by something blocking her back legs. She looked a them and noticed some bizarre magic circles blocking them.
"What sorcery is this!?" she shouted.
Chrysalis tried to use her magic to dispel the circles with the magic, but her horn refused to work properly. She tried again repeatedly in vain, much to her anger.
"You gotta be kidding me!"
As she tried again, a sound of hooves clamping the rocky ground was getting closer to her as she wasn't even noticing it. After various failed attempt to use her magic, she finally acknowledged that somepony was watching her, rising her already aggravated irritation.
"Don't you see that I'M VERY BUS-" She turned at him, mistaking him for one of her subjects. "Huh!?"
Chrysalis was very taken aback for what she saw. Instead of a changeling, there the grey maned white stallion with the sunglasses, who was looking at her with a emotionless face.
"Miss Alis." he said with a deadpan tone.
"W-what the heck are you!? And how did managed to get her unnoticed!?" shouted irritated Chrysalis.
"I took care of you servants. You should be this angered in your actual position, especially for your health. Stress is a serial killer, you know?"
"Your insolence will not go unpunished! Are you responsible for sealing my magic!?"
"That should be obvious."
"Are trying to oppose me?"
"Not exactly. And, to be honest, i'm not working for Celestia if this is what you think."
"Then what do you want from me?!"
"I came to know that you had refused Starlight Glimmer's offer to redeem yourself."
Chrysalis instinctively raised a eyebrow, displaying a very baffled expression. That isn't happening for real. She could see that the pony was responsible for her actual powerlessness in which she is now, but she refused to believe that his motivation to face her was that.
"Redeem myself?" she said as her eye was twitching nervously. "You cannot be serious."
"Is pretty understandable, miss Alis. You don't think that the rest of the pony society will ever accept you after the thing you had done to them in the past."
"NO! You don't get it! I refused to accept it because it goes against my nature!... THAT'S ALL!!"
The mysterious pony remained impassive, looking at her with a equally impassive look. He remained silent for a bit before speaking again.
"Really?"
"Yes, and i won't change my mind. So you better tell me, since i, Chrysalis, i need to know! Just who are you, you insipid little stallion!?"
"I represent both Hasbro's executives and the minority of the humans who wanted you being reformed."
"I-i refuse to believe it.... This must be some kind of bad dream!"
"You better believe it, changeling's ruler." he continued. "And to conclude my presentation, i'm agent Brounchebag. And to make the things clear, you should accept the fact that some of my superiors wanted you to be reformed."
"Well, i'm still proud to had rebelled against their initial script, because i don't want give up what made the villainess that i'm now. Look at my actual loyal subjects. They still love me. Besides, i have still my revenge to make, so why you should interfere with that?"
"You had to understand, miss Alis, Hasbro's status quo in the show is symbolic and, most of all, is law."
Chrysalis groaned loudly in annoyance while slapping her face with a hoof for the surreal and nonsensical turn of events as he nonchalantly continued to talk.
"You could continue to make your evil plans, but what you will obtain as a result is just to fail over and over, and becoming redundant with the passage of time. This is why this reforming intervention is a masterpiece to fix problem of this nature."
"But my established character is what defined me as such to begin with. Tell me. How many people could see i, Chrysalis, as i will be under this new "light", knowing that is gonna suck."
"Well, miss Alis, why don't you explain why refuse Starlight Glimmer's offer."
"Only if you stop calling me Alis! It became annoying after a while, so can you please use the honorifics!"
"I'm afraid that is not possible."
Chrysalis looked to the ceiling with a very annoyed face, trying to think something positive to her and preparing herself to deal with that stranger.
"Suddenly the idea of being incinerated by Celestia herself started to became more appealing."
"Why are you looking upwards?"
"None of your business, is just helping me to bear your annoying presence."
Brounchebag smirked a little without showing any sympathy. That was only the beginning of this philosophical torture in which Chrysalis was going to be subjected.
"Well... Let's get started, shall we?"
