As we all know, war never changes. Throughout several weeks, trenches were created for safety. Still, Twilight thought that Equestria might be a lost cause, and if this was true, then she wouldn't have a reason to live anymore. She already lost her protégé, and she carried a heavy burden on her back. The Mane Six and Spike hid in a trench with some of the Changelings. "Come out and play, ponies!", Chrysalis maniacally shrieked. "I can smell the stink of your fear! Fear me each heartbeat! You will never leave! My reign never fades, it just grows infecting your space, your world, and I can't be ERASED! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM YOUR FATE!"
"She's right", Twilight said. "We can't win this. Equestria is doomed. We are the last line of defense." Suddenly, vines started growing where the Mane Six stood. They snared a Changeling. He attempted to fly off, but the vines absorbed his life force, leaving nothing more than an empty husk... just like the rest of the fallen Changelings. Apparently, it's the Changelings that give Chrysalis power. She absorbed Starlight Glimmer because Starlight's love was extremely powerful, so Chrysalis knew that with Starlight's life force, she could become eternal. "Run!" The Mane Six and Spike ran through the battlefield as the Changelings from the trench tried to contain the vines. They failed, however, and fell victim to Chrysalis.
"I must FEED!", Chrysalis screamed. "This is what I was BORN TO DO!" She spotted the Mane Six and Spike as they were entering another trench. "Where do you think YOU'RE going?!" She grabbed them with her vines. "Seven little creatures tied up like fish. You thought I was gone, but I'M STILL HERE!!!" Twilight blasted Chrysalis with her magic, but no damage was dealt. "How cute. You actually thought you had a chance against me. Well... now, I will destroy everything you have ever loved!" She squeezed Twilight and blood trickled from the vine that ensnared her. She began to absorb their life forces, but a rock hit her. "What the hell was that?!" She dropped her captives and they ran to the nearest trench. Even in this new form, she couldn't see who threw the rock. She was now distracted. "You can't hide!"
Oh, yes, I can. For those of you who are confused, I threw the rock. Small acts like throwing rocks won't break history. However, if I do something much more powerful, then history will break. Also, I am a gargantuan being who sees the entire universe. I can change my size should the occasion call for it. Ah, I'm rambling. One more thing. The Mothohive, an ancient being of power, is very similar to Chrysalis. I believe that if the storyline known as Jaws Of Dawn inspired Chrysalis to do this, then I have a feeling I know how this will go down...
The Mane Six and Spike were safely hidden in another trench. They found the Cutie Mark Crusaders cowering in fear. They hugged their respective sisters/sisterly figure. It turns out they wanted to join the Mane Six in battle. They said they saw the Young Six in another trench. Their mission is to go to that trench... without dying. Chrysalis was still distracted (how amusing), so the ten heroes ran out of the trench and ran past Chrysalis. They made it to the Young Six's trench. Alongside them were Thorax and Pharynx. Trixie and Discord were planning on avenging their fallen friend, so they joined the war as well. (By my count, that's twenty soldiers. Oh, boy.) Twilight saw Changeling soldiers around the trench having committed suicide. Trixie explained that they couldn't bear the thought of their life forces being absorbed by the evil Queen as she put her cape on a bloodied Twilight. The Princess of Friendship's protégé's best friend embraced her tightly, knowing she was the last piece of Starlight. (Nothing romantic here. Move along.) I think I know a good tune for this moment.
I have to find a way
To make this all okay
I can't believe this small mistake
Could've caused so much heartache
Oh why, oh why?
Something is wrong, it's plain to see
This isn't how it's meant to be
And you can't see it like I do
It's not the life that's meant for you
Oh why, oh why?
Losing promise
I don't know what to do
Seeking answers
I fear I won't get through to you
I'll try
And I'll try
I'll try
And I'll try
I must say I teared up listening to this... which actually makes sense, since I'm a literal eyeball. I might've caused a giant storm while crying. Well, some things are just sad. Give me a break.
Gallus flew out of the trench to get a better view. He saw Chrysalis swaying in the wind, no longer distracted. "Guys, if we're going to attack, now's the time", he said.
"He's right. Let's go", Ocellus replied. The twenty soldiers all nodded in agreement. Trixie put her cape back on and she and the others climbed the ladder one by one. I have another tune while we're waiting. It's the perfect pre-battle tune.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony,
What is friendship all about?
My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Friendship is magic!
(My Little Pony)
I used to wonder what friendship could be.
(My Little Pony)
Until you all shared its magic with me.
When I was young I was too busy to make any friends.
Such silliness did not seem worth the effort it expends.
But my little ponies, you opened up my eyes
And now the truth is crystal clear, as splendid summer skies.
And it's such a wonderful surprise.
(My Little Pony)
I used to wonder what friendship could be.
(My Little Pony)
Until you all shared its magic with me.
When danger makes me wanna hide, you'll Rainbow Dash to my side,
Kindness is never in short supply, once smitten twice Fluttershy.
For honesty no pony can deny, you are the Applejack of my eye,
A heart that shines so beautiful, a Rarity to come by
And you all make fun and laughter as easy as Pinkie Pie!
(My Little Pony)
I used to wonder what friendship could be.
(My Little Pony)
Until you all shared its magic with me.
Our friendship's magic and it's growing all the time.
A new adventure waits for us each day is yours and mine.
We'll make it special every time!
We'll make it special every time!
(My Little Pony)
What a wonderful wonder friendship brings
(My Little Pony)
Do you know you're all my very best
(Friends!) Friends, you're my very best
(Friends!) Friends, you're my very best
(Friends!) Friends, you're my very best
(Friends!) Friends!
"UNITED WE STAND!", the twenty heroes shouted in unison.
