Chapter 4: Secrets Revealed (edited)

Chrysalis continued to laugh evilly as her drones block every door and window. The drones then started to surround the ponies, including the main 6, the princesses and Austin.

“Twilight, I trust you to keep Austin safe, can you do that for me?” Celestia asked in a panicked, yet angry tone.

“Of course Princess Celestia.” Twilight promised Celestia.

“C-celestia?” Austin asked Celestia.

“Austin go with the group, I’ll take care of this.” Celestia said to the child.

“B-but...” Austin was going to start his sentence but was interrupted by Celestia.

“NOW... please.” Celestia said in an angry tone but went to a begging tone when she realized she yelled at him.

“O-okay...” Austin said in a scared tone when Celestia yelled and went with the group.

Celestia looked at him with a smile but then a serious face when she walked closer to chrysalis. The drones blocked her way but Chrysalis told them to let her through.

“Chrysalis, how dare you to attack on this poor child’s party and start making him feel bad.” Celestia said with an stern tone.

“Well I always like to crash a good party.” chrysalis said with a smirk on her face.

“This child has been through so much and he was starting to get comfortable with us and you ruined it!” Celestia said with an angry tone.

“That sounds like a you problem, not mine. Besides why are you even protecting this thing, you’re just going to discard him like you did with me!” chrysalis said with an angry tone as well.

“He is a kind and pure child, you are not. After I saw what you did, I couldn’t forgive you!” Celestia with a flare in her eyes.

“Well... Princess of the sun, what are you gonna do about it.” Chrysalis said with a smirk.

“I’ll have to stop you, right here, right now.” Celestia said with an stern tone.

“Bring it on... Tia.” Chrysalis said with an fight me smirk.

“One shall stand...” Celestia began her sentence.

“One shall fall.” Chrysalis finished her sentenced.

Then the both of them started to shoot a single beam of magic at one another. Celestia’s golden magic collided with Chrysalis’ green magic. The magic pushing one another to Celestia or Chrysalis, but Celestia’s magic was going to hit Chrysalis. Chrysalis was struggling with her depleting magic, but then she felt some extra strength and used it against Celestia. The green magic pushed through the gold magic and the green magic directly hit Celestia’s horn. When the magic hit her horn the impact threw her a few feet back and collapsed on the floor.

“CELESTIA!” The group yelled out to Celestia.

“Hahahaha... I knew stealing some love from that village was a good idea.” Chrysalis said to herself.

The group tried to reach Celestia, but Chrysalis’ drones blocked there way. As they were going to fight their way through, Austin somehow sneaked by some of the drones and was close to Celestia. As he was about to step closer to her, Chrysalis’ drones grabbed him.

“No l-let me go!” Austin said in an angry tone.

“AUSTIN!” The group yelled to the child.

“Let the creature go, let him come to me.” Chrysalis commanded her drones.

The drones then followed her command and let Austin go. As they let him go, Austin ran to Celestia to see if she was okay.

“C-c-celestia...” Austin said sadly.

“Austin... please... get away.” Celestia begged him to leave her.

“Not t-this time.” Austin said to Celestia.

Austin then turned to Chrysalis with angry eyes. Chrysalis was amused by his hatred, that she got close to him but stopped half way.

“Your a brave thing, but you’re also foolish to face the changeling queen.” Chrysalis said with a smirk.

“I m-may be foolish, but I will p-protect my family with my life. I c-couldn’t save my old family, but n-now I’ll sacrifice my life to save my new one.” Austin said confidently as he lifted his arms out like a T shape to protect Celestia. Chrysalis looked at the child with a surprised expression, but then back to her sinister face.

“So be it...freak.” Chrysalis said to the child. She then shot a magic bolt straight to the child.

The child looked at Celestia, which she was trying to stand up. He looked at her with watery eyes and then the bolt struck him. Celestia and the group saw this with horrified and sad expressions.

“No... Austin.” Celestia said quietly with tears coming down her face.

“No...” the group said as they lowered their heads down and some started to sob.

“Such a waste of energy on that thing.” Chrysalis said to herself.

As the dust began to settle down, instead of seeing a lifeless body on the floor or dust on the floor, they saw a creature they never saw in their lives. The creature had bluish gray skin with purple on his skin and inside of his skin. The skin however was not flesh, but metal. It’s chest piece had a bird like structure on its chest. It had long legs, long arms, sharp metal shoulders, and had no face features, just a blank screen for a face.

“What in Tartarus is that?!” Chrysalis said almost scared.

The creature said nothing as it looked at Chrysalis. The expressionless face started to make Chrysalis nervous.

“What are you...?” Chrysalis questioned the creature.

The creature said nothing once more, still looking at her with its expressionless face.

“ANSWER ME FOAL!!!” Chrysalis yelled at the creature.

The creature said nothing again. It then looked at Celestia, then back at her. Then the two sides on its chest opened up and metal tentacles came out. The tentacles then quickly stretched out at the changeling queen. Chrysalis didn’t have time to react, but two drones protected her as fast as they can and the two drones were curled up in the tentacles. The tentacles then emitted a shock to the two drones. The drones screamed in agony and after 10 seconds, the tentacles let’s the drones go and they collapsed on the floor, unconscious. Chrysalis looked at the drones in fear and looked at the creature again, she then tried to escape. The creature looked at Chrysalis and the object on its chest came to life and became a bird. The bird flew to the changeling queen and caught up to her. The metal bird started to shoot lasers at the queen, eventually one of the lasers hit her on the side and fell on the floor. The group and Celestia’s jaws dropped at how powerful this thing is. The creature then walked over to her with its clanking feet. As it got closer to the changeling queen, she cowered in fear by its skills and what abilities it may use next on her.

“Please... don’t hurt me.” Chrysalis begged for mercy.

The creature looked at her with its expressionless face, then all of a sudden a black fog surrounded the creature. It’s massive size then became smaller and smaller, and when the fog was gone, a child appeared... it was Austin.

“B-but how? I thought I killed you...” Chrysalis was at a lose for word when she saw the child.

“There are many things that I wanted to keep a secret, b-but I did it f-for my friends and family.” Austin said to Chrysalis.

“Wh... I...” Chrysalis couldn’t find her words.

“Y-you know... I was angry at you for hurting Celestia, b-but my parents taught me to not be angry for a long period of time, otherwise it would m-make me aggressive toward others. So I forgive you, Chrysalis.” Austin said softly to Chrysalis.

He then reached a hand out for Chrysalis to grab on to. She looked at him and then his hand. She accepted his hand and Austin help her up. Chrysalis looked at the child with amazement that he help her back up. Austin gave Chrysalis a warm smile, to which made Chrysalis blush a little. Chrysalis lit up her horn and she disappeared with her drones. He looked around the room to see where she was, but she was gone. Austin was upset by this but he knew there was some good in her and it showed at the end. Austin looked back at the group and his heart sank as he realized that every pony watched him fight Chrysalis as that creature.

Oh no... Austin thought to himself.

The ponies were shocked, scared and some of them looked at him with untrustworthy eyes. Austin then turned to Celestia, who was still on the floor, but looked at Austin with a shocked expressions on her face. Austin then walked over to Celestia and tried to help Celestia up. He then got her up to her flank and Celestia sat down and looked at Austin with shock once more. Austin looked at the ponies, the main 6, the princesses and then looked at the floor.

“I guess I’ll take my leave since s-some of you don’t want m-me here. I’m sorry for being a burden Celestia...” Austin said quietly to Celestia.

Then he started to walk to the doors where ponies enter and leave the throne room. Ponies scurried away from the child as he made his way to the doors. As he reached the doors he was going to push them open, but was stopped when he felt something warm surround him. He looked around him to see a golden glow surround his body. Austin couldn’t move his legs and arms. He then started to go backwards and In the direction of Celestia. As he got close to her, she placed her hooves around him when he was in reach. She then gave Austin a gentle hug. Austin was confused, she should be angry that Austin kept a big secret from them, but he didn’t care, he wanted to stay in her embrace. He hugged Celestia back with a tight grip, but to tight to choke her. The others came over and made a circle around Celestia and Austin.

“I-I don’t understand... why a-aren’t you mad at me?” Austin asked confused.

“Why would I be mad? you saved me, you saved every pony.” Celestia said gently to the child.

“The way you beat Chrysalis’ flank was truly awesome!!” Rainbow Dash said in amazement.

“And the way you transformed back from being that creature was interesting.” Twilight said in wonder.

“You also showed kindness to our hated enemy, it was quite cute when she isn’t trying to attack everypony.” Cadance said softly to Austin.

“You showed both kindness and bravery to Chrysalis, I’m not sure if she’ll change but you made her feel happy in a long time. You truly are one of a kind.” Luna said warmly to Austin.

“B-but I kept that secret from you s-so you don’t get hurt by me.” Austin said sadly to the group.

“But you didn’t, sure the way you shocked those drones was terrifying, but you were angry at her because she hurt me and you realized that when you were shocking the drones.” Celestia said softly to Austin.

“S-so you’re not m-mad?” Austin asked curiously and sadly.

“No, we are not mad at you, but it sure surprised us.” Celestia said gently to the child. The group nodded in agreement.

Austin then felt some tears fall from his face, but it was tears of joy that they didn’t hate him. He then hugged Celestia’s chest and she returned the hug, the group also joined the hug as well. Austin then heard ponies stomping their hooves and he turn around and saw them cheering and stomping the ground.

“You see, the ponies still trust you and you can still trust them too.” Celestia said gently.

Austin then looked at the ponies with a warm smile.

“Could I also show you a-another thing I kept a secret?” Austin asked quietly.

“Of course you can show me.” Celestia said warmly to Austin.

Austin closed his eyes and all of a sudden, black tentacles came out of his back. The group was shocked but amazed by it and the other ponies oh’d and aw’d to the tentacles. The tentacles then went back to his back and his shirt fixed itself.

“Wow I need my quills for this.” Twilight said in amazement. Every pony rolled their eyes, while Austin giggled a little.

“Well since Chrysalis is gone, let the final event begin!” Celestia announced to the rest of the ponies. The ponies then cheered and every pony went outside for the final event.

“Alright every pony, I’m going to to do my super cool sonic rainboom for Austin and how he bravely saved us from Chrysalis.” Rainbow Dash said confidently to every pony. Rainbow Dash shot up into the sky and was far in the sky, she then shot back down and a rainbow was forming on her back. She then lifted up and a circular rainbow formed. A rainbow was on her back and stayed there until she stopped. Rainbow Dash then made it back to the group and saw Austin’s eyes sparkle that his eyes nearly became a star itself.

“T-that was amazing Rainbow Dash!” Austin said in amazement.

“Hehe thanks kid, I’m glad you liked it.” Rainbow Dash said to Austin as she put a hoof on his back.

Austin then started to feel a little bit tired and snug up to Celestia and fell asleep. The group awe at the little child and Celestia lifted him onto her back with her magic.

“I’m going to put Austin to bed, he had a long and exciting day.” Celestia said to the group. The group nodded and Celestia went to her room. She placed the child into her bed and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

“Goodnight sweetie.” Celestia said to the sleeping child.

Celestia then left the room to say farewell to the guests. Austin slept peacefully in the bed, knowing that they still trust and love him.


“Your highness we have a strong signal of power that could be the golden child.” the general said to the queen.

“Show it to me.” the queen commanded the general.

The general gave the pad to her and looked at the planet she was looking at.

“What planet is this?” The queen asked the general.

“We are not sure but my droids are looking at the system as we speak.” the general said to the queen.

“Excellent. Remember Grevious, if you want me to help your planet and kill the Jedi, you will find the child, if not... then I’ll just have to kill you. Do you understand?” The queen said to Grevious.

“Yes your highness.” Grevious grumbled at the queen.

“Good, you’re dismissed.” the queen said.

Grevoius then left her quarters and was talking to herself once again.

“It seems where you have gone it’s pretty far from here, but it won’t matter, darkness always finds the light, and consumes it,” the queen said and gave a small laugh to herself.


There was a room with a bunch of computers, but only two of them were on. There was a figure sitting near the computer, sleeping. The sleeping figure was enjoying a nice nap, until the computer started to beep, which it startled the figure to the floor. The figure then looked at the computer to see a powerful signal from a unknown planet. The figure then started to analyze the planet to see what planet it is. When he knows what planet it is, he went out of the computer room and into another room where another figure was fixing something.

“Hey G, I think I found something.” the figure said to the other figure.

“Let me see what it is.” the figure said in a distorted voice.

The figure showed what he found. It showed a planet that is unknown to any star system.

“You’re sure Austin is there Sans?” The distorted voice asked the figure named Sans.

“I’m not sure but he might be there, only one way to find out.” Sans said to the other figure.

“Alright, I guess we’re are going to Equestria then... but I’ll need to fix this device in order to get there.” the distorted voice said.
