Chapter 05: Do You Wanna Have A Bad Time?
“Go My children! FEED!” Said a certain Changeling Queen, as she flew above the ponies in the city of Canterlot.
It was gonna be a great time with the wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor…
Then the Changelings showed up, craving the emotions to feed on, seemingly invading just to feed and collect power for destruction at this point.
But looks can be deceiving…. I should know…
*Elsewhere*
“ Looks like it’s time to step in and show up to the ‘party’.” said a skeleton in Nightstone Castle, the castle of Nightmare Moon/Nyx, near the edges of Ponyville.
*Back to Canterlot*
There was the sound of a teleport, and a figure appeared in the Throne Room in Canterlot, startling a couple of Changelings that were guarding the Princesses, then they immediately tried sucking out his love, but they were knocked out by a couple of bones appearing out of nowhere.
“ Who dares to defy the Queen Of The Changelings?!” Said Chrysalis, looking at the figure below her that knocked out two of her Changelings like it was nothing!
“ Names Sans, Sans the Skeleton.” Said the figure in the dark as they stepped out.
“ It’s a beautiful day outside..” said the skeleton, not even looking at the woken up Princesses and the Mane Six trying to escape their captors to get the elements, and clearly failing.
“ The Birds Are Singing, Flowers Are Blooming…”
Luna and Celestia’s eyes widened as they figured out what was gonna happen next, since a couple of days ago, Luna saw the same scenario in Sans’ dreams which ended in his ‘Death’ and told her older sister about it the next morning, with tears running down her cheeks during breakfast at what she saw.
Nyx also figured out what was gonna happen as well, and covered her eyes, not wanting to see what was gonna happen to Chrysalis, which made the ponies and Changelings look at here in confusion.
“ On Days Like Today…” Sans closed his eye sockets, the smile on his face growing wider.
“Ponies Like You…”
Then the world darkened and a pink heart with green lines floated in front of Chrysalis’s chest, and into a box like construction with four words on the bottom. FIGHT, ACT, ITEMS, MERCY, all glowing in yellow.
Chrysalis was confused on what type of battle this should be, since this was a new one for her.
Then she looked up at the skeleton named Sans, and actually flinched at the lightless eyes staring at her, filling her with fear that she hadn’t felt in centuries.
“ S H O U L D B E B U R N I N G I N H E L L.”
---------------------------------------------------
*Listen as you read*
Suddenly by some unknown force, Chrysalis’s heart got tinged blue and was pulled around the box, first hitting the bottom and bones stuck out and striking the heart, making her flinch in pain at how the bones seem to weaken her life force.
Then she was pulled through a wavy corridor of bones. Chrysalis did her best to not touch the bone walls as she was pulled through, successfully making it as she hit the wall of the box, then pulled away from the wall on instinct as her danger vibes alerted her.
She made the right choice, as bones stuck out of the wall and was a couple of inches from her muzzle.
For some reason, Chrysalis thinks that Sans wasn’t done…
So she hit the FIGHT button to try and retaliate. There was a weird bar with a line going through it, and she hit the button as the white line made it to the middle, and she grinned happy that she might get some payback.
But the sneaky skeleton dodged.
Chrysalis must’ve been wearing a shocked expression, because Sans shrugged, " What? You think I was just gonna stand there and take it?”
The Changeling Queen quickly made her way to the middle of the box, then saw some sort of dragon skull that was floating in front of her, glowing blue eyes staring at her with unbridled fury that made her shudder internally.
Then she dodged instinctively as the floating skull fired at the spot where she had been. Then she noticed another skull behind her, and jumped out of the way in the nick of time as it fired.
I will not let this mongrel get in the way of getting HER well! She thought, DETERMINATION filling her as she fought back, getting dialogue from Sans as if this was a game *wink wink*.
*Meanwhile*
“OOH! This is gonna be a fun time!” Pinkie said, while lying back on a movie theatre chair with a bowl of popcorn in her hooves.
She ignored the stunned looks of the Changelings that were trying to figure out how she got away from them and where she got the popcorn from, and the shaking heads of the captured ponies with fond smiles of exasperation.
Then a smaller Changeling sat in Pinkie’s lap, squeeing at its mother playing with the skeleton. Mama always needs friends. The little Changeling filly thought as she munched on popcorn with the Pink Mare.
One of the Changeling Guards, a female, shook her head at the filly’s innocence, She is so adorable to look at though. She thought before turning her attention to the fight, flinching every time Chrysalis got hit by the bones of Karmic Retribution.
She didn’t know where the skeleton came from, but apparently, this was a creature to not mess with...
Twilight looked at the skeleton with curiosity burning inside on how he came here, and why he hadn’t shown up in town yet, because according to her daughter Nyx, the skeleton was living in Nightstone Castle near the Everfree Forest.
It made her shudder every time she even went near the stone structure, memories of near death and Nyx almost dying twice there made her want to tear it down.
But she knew she couldn’t, since Nyx still goes to her old castle once in awhile as a reminder of all the things she had done and never to make mistakes again.
Twilight was really proud of Nyx, seeing how the events of the past two years changed her and Twilight together, making the bond of family stronger than ever before.
When Nyx told her mother about the skeleton inside the castle, Twilight thought she was joking for a minute, before seeing how serious she was and made her way to Nightstone Castle to see if what her daughter tells her was true.
Her daughter was right, because sitting in the first floor study, was a skeleton wearing a blue hoodie, a pair of black shorts, and pink slippers, reading a large tome with a moon emblem on the cover.
Twilight made her way back home after a full minute of spying on the skeleton and wrote a letter to the Princess.
When she got a reply back, she wasn’t expecting the answer she got from her mentor.
Be Nice To Sans, Twilight.
He’s Just Looking For A Place To Stay
And Friends To Make Puns With.
Now, I Have A Ton Of Work To Do. A SkeleTON.
-Princess Celestia
Twilight had groaned at the obvious bad pun, yet she did as asked, and waited for the skeleton named Sans to come into town, since coming to him seemed rude.
He never did, which is odd since that all ponies need to eat. But considering that he’s a SKELETON? Well, it makes the sense that Discord would be proud of.
Now that she is seeing Sans for the second time in Canterlot fighting Chrysalis of all ponies, she could understand why the Princess told her to be nice to Sans.
...Otherwise you’re gonna have a bad time.
