A Claw-terlot Wedding
Part 2, part 5

[Canterlot]

The entire city was in chaos.

Discord was quite amused.

Changeling's swarmed over the city in the thousands, breaking into homes stealing carts, breaking windows, tipping cows, spray painting rude things on walls, fighting guards, knocking over trashcans, jaywalking, and basically sowing as much chaos and fear as they could.

It was the worst riot Canterlot had seen since the Manehatten Broncos beat the Canterlot Royals in game three of the Hoof Ball world cup three years ago due to a bad call from a ref.

Despite the chaos and the mayhem that was being caused, no one was being hurt. Sure some ponies were being terrified, there was going to be a lot of property damage and a good bit of extra work for Princess Luna and the Moon Dogs for a while, but it was a Friday in Canterlot. And on Fridays just about every pony expected something.

The door chimed drawing the unicorns attention to the front of his store.

“Welcome to Pony Joes...........oh....” Joe offered, trailing off as he saw the trio of black carapaced bug ponies that strode into his shop.

“Hey Joe, lemi get a pair of blueberry doughnuts and a cup of coffee, heavy on the cream.” One of them said taking a seat at the counter with the other two following suit.

“Errr.” Joe responded.

“What? I have the bits if that's what you're worried about.” The lead Changeling offered.

“I'll take a chocolate and strawberry curler.” the second said.

“Just a black coffee, we're on a break.” The third added.

“Right, coming up.” Joe shrugged, going to prep the orders more on instinct than anything else at this point. He delivered the food and coffee's taking the bits and ringing it all up.

“So..... what's all this then?” Joe asked waving a hoof at generally everything as he hoofed over the receipt.

“Oh .. invasion. Nothing to worry about, should be done in a hour or two. Most of us just want to see the sights while we can is all.” the second changeling added nomming on the curler.

“Yeah what he said. Still a lot to see and do, but we've heard good things about this place. Had to stop in while we had the chance.” The third offered. “Hmm, rather good coffee.

“Bah, that's just flavored bean water, you have to add something to it or it's far too bitter.” the second chided.”

“So, can I get you anything else?” Joe asked.

“Nah, we'll be out of your mane in a minute. These are really good.” the second commented eating one of his doughnuts.

“Actually, I think I will take one of those plain cake doughnuts.” the third asked.

[ A small town house on the east side of Canterlot.]

The changeling Squad burst through the door of the home at the edge of Canterlot. The goal was to sweep and clear all the surrounding homes, capturing any pony they could and securing the perimeter.

One such squad broke down a door to find a living room done up like a foals vision of a Princesses' bedroom and a small table in the middle with two adults, a filly, and a foal having a tea party.

The unicorn foal was simply sitting in a rocker, babbling excitedly at the sudden increase in noise.

The unicorn stallion and pegasus mare glanced back as the door burst open, though they didn't move from their spots, likely due to the super ornate pink and blue ball gowns the pair had on.

The stallion earlier had complained it was too pinchy.

The pegasus filly dressed as Princess Luna however seemed very annoyed at the interruption.

"Tea party crashers?!" The filly exclaimed in some sort of mock royal accent. "Off with their heads!!"

"Cloud Dancer, the Princesses don't say things like that." The pegasus mare chided with a roll of her eyes.

"I'm still inclined to agree with her." The unicorn stallion said as he gently set down his tea cup and rose to his hooves."And here I thought Dawn and I wouldn't be entertained with this sort of play date."

"Jer'rahd, this is my house, don't get too crazy." The mare accused.

"Says the mare with her wing blades already drawn." Jer'rahd grinned as Starfall rose as well ignoring the comment.

Like in the other invaded houses there was a lot of screaming, though this time it wasn't from the homeowners.

[ Canterlot, central market square.]

“Huh, place looks a lot different from the ground.” the blonde gray furred mare commented looking around the food court, though it was hard to tell exactly what the walleyed mare was looking at with any certainty.

“So, you've never been through here except on a delivery Ditzy?” the Thestral Nox-Cal, Comet Trail asked as he walked along next to her, one bat like wing pressed against her feathered one.

“No, not really. Most of the places were just too expensive and I always had a lot of work to do.”Ditzy smiled.

“Well, as a poor guard stationed here for a while I know a couple of places that have good food at a decent price.” Comet smirked.

“Look Momma, they've got funnel cakes!” A little lavender unicorn with blonde mane and tail shouted bouncing about happily on the back of a massive mastiff hound that dwarfed the ponies around it. Even Princess Celestia would have to look up to meet the eyes of Mr. Tiny Sniffles. Given the tan and white fuzzy canine had started out small enough to fit in a hoof, the name some what made sense as he had been the runt of the litter and started out rather sickly.

That was years ago, now ponies gave him a wide berth, though tended to disregard all of them focusing soly on keeping the tiny unicorn balanced on his back as she pranced about.” Can we get one?”

It had taken Comet Trail a while of dating Ditzy before the large dog allowed him any where near the house or Dinky and he was still leery.

The small unicorn however thought the 'bat pony' guard was neat.

Comet Trail thought the little filly was beyond adorable and spoiled her almost as much as he spoiled her mother.

He had met Ditzy purely on accident not long after he first took over the Guard post in Ponyville. She had literally run into him. It wasn't long after that she was added to his list of possible dates, and every time he whittled down the number, Ditzy remained until she was the only one left.

The somewhat klutzy pegasus was far too sweet to be real, and after meeting her daughter he was likely to collapse in diabetic shock some time in his future.

With the Royal Wedding nonsense he had been called in to Canterlot to work the night shift as most of the Decaff brigade left with Princess Luna to check Tartarus.

Dinky had wanted to see the royal couple, and while he couldn't get them into the wedding itself, he knew the best spots to see the procession as it left the castle. And since it was day time, he could spend it out of uniform with his favorite girls and their massive, misnamed dog.

“Not now Muffin, we need to eat real food first.” Ditzy stated in a motherly tone that booked no argument. ”So where are we going to eat Comet?..... Comet?”

Ditzy blinked looking over at the Nox-cal, who had stopped and was staring at the sky his ears perked up. A rumbling growl that shook her teeth drew her attention to Mr. Tiny Sniffles as the massive dog had bared his teeth, also staring up at the shield dome.

Dinky and Ditzy both knew what that sound meant and Dinky had hunkered down on the dogs back clutching his fur and nearly vanishing into it.

Looking up, Ditzy could see the glowing shield that had been over them was cracking and as she watched it shatter and countless black figures swarmed over Canterlot.

“What's going on?” Ditzy gasped as some of the black figures landed nearby, some harder than others. The creatures started to smash stalls and send ponies running, a few of the slower ponies getting plastered with green waxy goop and stuck to what ever surface was nearby.

A thud drew her attention to Comet Trail as he uncoiled a chain he had on his waist, a heavy metal ball on one end of it.

“Ditzy take Dinky and get under cover.” Comet Trail snorted curling the chain around one hoof before starting to spin the weight, the meteor hammer starting to hum as it spun.

Ditzy's response was to hurl a trashcan from the sidewalk at one of the black carapaced bug ponies that had started to approach, sending it crashing down the street with a Wilhelm scream.

“Or beat the fool out of them, that works too.” Comet Trail blinked.

“Don't be so surprised, I'm a single mother who runs mail all over the place by myself.” Ditzy grinned slapping her fore hooves together. ”I can protect myself.”

“So much for me playing the noble knight. I do also hope you drop that single part….” Comet Trail smirked his spinning chain starting to scream as it got up to speed causing him to rear back on his rear hooves wings flared.

Mr. Tiny Sniffles let out a loud bark that drew the attention of every thing on the street and cracked a shop window nearby.

The Changelings in the square had a bad time of it for interrupting a family outing.

[Derby Road]

Copper and Flathoof stared out the window of their guard shack on the corner of Derby road and Nokota drive watching the goings on in the city.

Flathoof was three days from retirement and Copper's wife just had a foal, so neither were feeling particularly heroic at the moment as neither wanted to become a trope.

Hence, when the changelings burst through the dome, the partners simple watched through spyglasses through the window of the guard booth, drinking coffee and not even attempting to step outside.

It helped that their post was on a rise in the big money end of town and they could see down the whole street to watch what was happening over the massive yards of the manors lining the streets.

“Huh, reminds me of that hoof ball riot a few years ago, but with less body paint and fire.” Flathoof pointed out.

“Less calling for a ref to be hung too.”Copper added.

“Yep.” Flathoof agreed sipping his coffee.

“Good thing no ponies really home today, they all went to that royal wedding.”Copper added.

“Kinda nice of them to just ignore us.” Flathoof commented.

“Well they do know we're here, that one did wave at us.” Copper stated.

“True, had a bunch of smaller ones with her, reminded me of some sort of bug pony class field trip or something.” Flathoof considered.

“Huh, we should put that in the report.” Copper considered.

“Yeah. Remind me to add that in, also the part where Jet Set is trying to loot his own house.” Flathoof tapped his chin.

“Why would he do that?” Copper muttered.

“Insurance fraud probably.” Flathoof responded. “Did we have any doughnuts left?”

[Canterlot Castle Chapel]

“Seriously?” Chrysalis sighed picking up what remained of her demagic'd scimitar. The weapon had several large bites taken out of it and was little more than a few inches of blade and the grip.

“MERRPHAMFF!” Spike accused though a mouthful of the rare metal.

“Do you know how hard it was to gather the metal for this thing to make magic repelling sword that could still be enchanted? Mithril does not grow on trees.” Chrysalis sighed. ”Also I have no idea if dragons can even eat that so if you get sick it's on you.”

“You've already made two of my brothers sick... what's one more huh?” Twilight growled.

“Oh don't even give me that, Shining will be fine with some sleep and Rahs just needs to stop trying to eat my spells and he'll be fine. “Chrysalis waved it off. “Oh that reminds me.”

The Changeling Queen grinned and stomped over to Celestia looking down at the trapped mare taking note of a few rebar rods piercing through her body.

With a wide fanged grin, she brought the blade down and lopped off the Princesses head.

There was a great deal of screaming as Chrysalis lifted the severed Solar Princesses head up in her magic, cackling.

“I really, really, hate you, you know.” Celestia's head growled at the changeling queen.

“Pfft! Like you haven't done the same thing to me in the past.” Chrysalis rolled her eyes.

Those who hadn't fainted at the decapitation now stared in shock as Celestia's severed head snarled at the bug pony.

“Oh would you lot give it a rest!? She's a goddess! I'd have to wipe out every pony and pony cross breed on the planet before she'd stay dead. Also I'd have to destroy the sun too. I can't kill her, she'll regrow from this in a couple of hours tops.” Chrysalis snarled before bouncing the head off a few rocks getting some curses from the Princess.” Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like a bitch though.”

Twilight winced as Celestia cursed at Chrysalis. The purple unicorn's horn lighting up again as she fired another shot at the bug queen ,only for Chrysalis' blade to yank away from poking Celestia's nose and smack the energy blast aside.

The energy bolt arched out of the new opening in the wall, soaring across Canterlot, before it slammed into the clock tower of the Canterlot library, sending the tower crashing down to the ground and setting the building on fire.

“Whoops.” Chrysalis blinked glancing back, taking the moment to smack Celestia against a wall again.” Look what you did.”

Twilight blinked, a twitch forming around one eye as her mane started to smolder.

“Oh crap! Not this.... guys, a little help.” Chrysalis sighed.

Twilight was very quickly buried in bodies, as any other guests the changelings could get their hooves on were suddenly thrown on top of the Sparkle sister, burying her in possible collateral damage.

Chrysalis smirked and trotted over to the hole in the wall, looking down over the edge, before she smirked and dropped Celestia's head off the side.

There was a long screaming curse then a wet sounding splorch as a conveniently place manure cart had a new deposit to it. Chrysalis cackled madly and trotted back into the middle of the room pulling off the wedding dress finally and tossing it carefully over the podium.

“Right, okay... Spike … right, you seem to be the calm one here. While I am not happy about my sword, my statement still stands. I have no interest in you or your family, and once I get what I want, I'm gone like the wind and you and the rest of your family and friends will be none the worse for wear..... maybe after a bit of therapy, but anyway, my people are the ones getting brutalized out there.”

“I would believe that more if you didn't behead Princess Celestia.” Spike growled.

“She'll be fine, I'm just driving home the point that I kicked her fat flank.” Chrysalis smirked.

“That's not exactly an accomplishment.” Twilight shouted from the bottom of the pile barely getting her muzzle out. “ She couldn't use her full power because of all the guests.”

“Well no duh, why do you think I attacked the wedding? For the cake?” Chrysalis rolled her eyes taking note of Big Mac trying to attack her with the pew, she blocked the attack with her sword grabbed him by the tail and flung him onto the pony pile with a great deal of cries of pain and groans at the added weight.

“Where is Cadence!?” Twilight demanded rather weakly as some one was standing on her lungs.

“Safe. Probably will be back in a day or two looking and feeling like a million bits after that resort trip package I gave her as a wedding present.” Chrysalis chuckled.

“Just for the record..... “ Spike spoke up.”Are you one of Princess Celestia's ex's or Princess Luna's?”

“Woof.” Rahs grumbled trying to recover.

“Or one of Shining's........ You know how much of a long shot that is right?” Spike accused. “ Shining's to dense to have some sort of secret love affair.”

“Okay, first off, I'm highly insulted that you would ever think that I would have a thing for a mare who's ninety percent cake by body weight. Two, I've never really met Princess Luna, and three this was my first encounter with Shining Armor.”

“Damn, I'm out, but so are Rarity and Fluttershy.” Spike grumbled. ”Dang, guess that means we're gonna have to wait until you tell us your diabolical plan.”

“Why would I do that?” Chrysalis smirked.

“What? No monologueing?” Spike pouted. ”What kind of villain are you?”

“The smart kind. My goals aside from kicking cake flanks butt are mine alone. And really you lot should just surrender, I've beaten Celestia, I have your friends captive, and I've got your older brother under mind control. I could ask him to blast you and he would.”

“No, you don't. That's a dazed and confused spell coupled with a minor illusion to make him think you're Cadence.” Twilight fussed.

“Which I could easily make him blast you with by making him think you were a rat or something that I was scared of.” Chrysalis pointed out.

“....... Damn you...” Twilight cursed.

“Not the first to say that, and not going to be the last.” Chrysalis paused looking at the main door curiously then glancing behind her at the destroyed clock tower as if she was going to check the time but forgot the building was on fire.” Huh, maybe I should have monologued a bit. “

A bit more staring and waiting around.

“Pharynx!Where are they? I was told they got out before the wedding started?” Chrysalis demanded in a hushed whisper to a large changeling near her.

The changeling responded with a shrug.

“Fine, lets tempt fates shall we. Damn spiders can't take a joke any way.” Chrysalis hissed before shouting to no one in particular. “My victory is perfect and absolute, all bow to me!”

It was then the doors to the chapel exploded.

“There they are.” Chrysalis said happily.
