//------------------------------// // Twitchy Tail // Story: Chrysalis revenge // by Multithread //------------------------------// Finally, Chapter 4, with some more random Pinkie Pie. I would be grateful for some response, I'm not sure if my Chapter getting better or worse. =----------------= “Morning Twilight.” Pinkie Pie said while she hopped through the library. “Good morning Pinkie Pie, but don't you think it's a bit early? The sun just rise.” Twilight answered tired. “I'm looking for Rainbow Dash, I think she's working as a lamp now and I have a little light task to do for her in my basement. I wasn't there for month's and now I've seen that the light bulb burned out so I can't see anything in there.” “You already woke me up, so lets go and change your light.” Twilight responded with a long yawn. Twilight walked to Pinkies house and Pinkie Pie hopped beside her. “Pinkie Pie, your hopping now since about two days, what is so exiting for you?” “Actually I don't know, I'm just happy.” In this moment Dash stopped in front of them:”Hey girl's what are you doing?” “Pinkie Pie, you were right, Dash is enlightened now.” Twilight answered and Pinkie Pie started do giggle:”You know, you could be really good at joking.” “Very funny girls”, Dash rolled her eyes:”But its awesome, I mean no pony else is a living light bulb, right?” “Yeah, now you can compete with the fireflies too.” Pinkie giggled. It took her a moment to calm down again: ”Would you be so kind and enlighten my basement so that I can change the light bulb?” “I didn't know that you even have a basement” Dash answered with confusion. “Silly filly, where should I store all the party equipment?” They soon arrived at Pinkie's house and Dash pressed the button for the basement light:”Pinkie, you basement light works.” “Silly filly, this isn't my basement, it's just my cellar.”, she opened a big door in the cellar:”This is my basement. The light bulb on the third floor doesn't work anymore.” she looked at Dash and Twilight who where stunned:”You should really see your faces, their hilarious.” After some time Dash finally asked Pinkie Pie:”Okay, wanna go?” “Of course, I only have to get the bulb and then I show you the way to the third floor.”, and with a hop Pinkie Pie went upstairs and Twilight went home to open the library, behind her. =------= The next day when Chrysalis woke up, the sun stood already high, it must be some when before midday. “Clone, wake up, we got some work to do.”, Dash really called her Clone, this was funny, even by Changeling standards. “The weather control Team had planned a rainstorm for Tonight and they need all the help they can get, so they ask every free working Pegasus of the weather control to help.” “How many ponies work in such a case for the weather team?” “More than half of Cloudsdale. And now stand up, we can nap later, we got some work to do.” Dash was like replaced, no napping but do something. The slight glow from yesterday was now a lot brighter and she radiated a lot of force as if you have an overflowing bottle, it was not the same as when you bleed magic uncontrolled, it was more like she had more force than her body was able to contain. As strong as Dash felt as weak felt Chrysalis, certainly, she had eaten yesterday some love and it fed her body but she felt weaker than yesterday. “Come on, you slept long enough, now get your ass out of my house, we have to move some clouds.”, Chrysalis stood up with a grumble and followed Dash, soon they met the others, actually a lot of Pegasus ponies:”Ok, I need about five of you who will help us to gather clouds from the ever free Forrest, the rest of you, you know from where to get your clouds. Before sunset I want not to see any sun on the floor anymore, got it?” “Got it.” the crowd answered. Six of the Pegasus followed Dash and Chrysalis to the ever free Forrest to bring clouds from there to Ponyville, they soon hat the sky covered with clouds, and in half an hour they would let the clouds start to rain and then go to bed. =-------= “Twilight, Twilight, Twilight” “What's up Pinkie Pie?” “Twitchy Tail, Twitchy Tail.” Pinkie answered nervously. “Of course something's gonna fall down, the rain will start soon.” “Silly filly, that isn't the reason, it must be something different, something bigger, like a piano or so.” “You will not tell me that there is another piano falling down at the moment?” There was a clatter and a loud swear:”I don't know, but I think it's safe to go outside now, my tail stopped twitching. By Twi.” and Pinkie Pie was gone again and Twilight was able to hear her own heart beating. At least, it wasn't a piano after all, she had this irrational fear of falling pianos since one hit her. A largely black cloud moved through the open window into the library and after a few seconds the cloud started to transform. Within seconds princess Luna stood in front of Twilight, materialized out of the Cloud. “Princess, I hadn't know that you like to come, I would have cleaned up a bit.”, Twilight knelt in front of Luna. “My sister eventually told me that you would like to talk to us.” she responded. A window swung open and Luna became a cloud again. Moments later a bright light entered through the window. "Twilight, I need your help. I really would like to go to bed, but two things bother me. Everywhere I go its as bright as day and second I'm absolutely not tiered and I'm awake now for nearly eighteen hours without even a nap.” Chrysalis entered the room and half landing, half crashing she went to the floor with a quiet yawn, lying down and closing her eyes without a single word. “I think she is ill or something similar, she nearly crashed into another pony on the way here.” “First of all I snap out your light and stop your radiate of force, it feels very uncomfortable and then I will look what I can do for your second you.” My end is near Chrysalis said to herself, she will kill me now, after she tortured me with weakness and hopelessness. After a slight glow of her horn Dash stopped slowly with her glowing and Twilight said:”Maybe you can sleep now.” “And what is with my clone? Will she be alright?” “We will see that tomorrow, you should go to bed and sleep, but be back tomorrow before eight o'clock.” “Got it.” and with a yawner Dash dashed away. “And now to you.”, Twilight stood next to Chrysalis and her thoughts started to turn faster and faster, please don't kill me, Twilight led her horn glow, to whom shall a god pray and who will judge about me when I'm dead? With a slight use of magic Twilight let the shivering Chrysalis fall into a sleep full of dreams. Where am I now? Am I dead? “Princess, were alone again.”, the cloud materialized back to Luna. “Alone, surely not, but unheard and unseen. So you want to talk to us?” “Yes, about the spell you used, but”, Twilight wasn't able to finish her sentence because Luna interrupted her. “You fear that our sister wouldn't be enthusiastic and will punish you for this to the moon because I discovered the spell as nightmare moon. And because you used it?”, Luna started giggling, after she returned there were more ponies who feared the princess of the sun than before and it looks like Twilight does as well. “How did you, oh right.”, the giggling of Luna went louder and it took her a long moment to calm down. After wiping a tear out of her eye, Luna continued:”Ok, go ahead, tell us everything you've found out.” Twilight started to explain, how she exactly used that spell and how she detected that she was able to use it on herself. She talked about an hour and Luna listened most of the time, asking then and when a question. “Would you be so kind and show us how you perform your spell?” Luna eventually asked. Twilight nodded, unable to refuse a princess request. Her horn started to glow, she closed her eyes. Her fur waved slightly and while her horn glowed brighter and brighter. Her mane and tail become cloudy and some moments later Twilight was nothing more than a cloud. “I've never done it this way.”Luna said and walked slowly over to the Twilight cloud. The cloud was peaceful and did not much more than just being there, Luna was now close enough and she gently touched the cloud with her hoof, only to see how she would react. Subsequently the cloud became restless and wobbly and after the cloud had calmed down a bit, the cloud materialized to a red cheeked, heavy breathing and tired Twilight who glared angry at Luna. “So, that happens if you get touched as a cloud.”, Luna softly said. “You should have warned me.” Twilight wasn't able to shout, but the anger and embarrassment in her voice was clearly audible. Luna didn't response and so after a long time of silence it was on Twilight to break it:”You said you did it different, what do you mean with this?” “I never had to use my horn, the spell came from inside, from my Nightmare Moon part. It's the feeling of the magic through your own body and control it without pull all the magic through your horn for using it on yourself, I never had to use such a big amount of magic for the spell.” “You wanna tell me that if I can feel the magic inside me and learn to control it, the spell is a lot easier to perform?” “Perhaps. If you don't mind, I would like to see you at least give it a try.” Twilight was sullen, her breath hadn't reached normal level yet and Luna would like her to perform the spell again, without using her horn. Twilight closed her eyes and her horn started to glow slightly. She felt Luna's magic and also the low glowing power of Dash who had started to snore, Maybe i overdid it with the sleep spell. She didn't feel her own magic in the room. Her horn glowed more and more, but still not much. Suddenly Twilight realized that she already felt her magic, she just hadn't realized it yet, her whole house radiated her force and she was out powered, so she was just on of many little magical spots around and Luna's power outshone most of the magic around, but she felt it, and now she also felt how the magic circulated through her, it was a feeling she could not describe with words, a feeling warm like fire and sweet like sugar. She tried to direct the magical flows, but every time she tried the force changed direction to somewhere else, like a bad-tempered child. After a felt long time Twilight opened her eyes and her horn stopped glowing. “What is so funny that you have to grin at me? I don't find it funny that I failed.” “You underestimate your power Twilight Sparkle, we understand why our sister has chosen you as her personal student. We have to go now, Tia surely is searching for us, but we would be glad if you would send us letters about your progress, write To Luna on the outside, she will give them to us.” Luna made her way out, but before she took off she said to Twilight:”You should fix your tail or you'll need a good disguise soon.” and after a short time Luna was gone, disappeared somewhere between the rain and the clouds on the night sky.
