//------------------------------// // 6. White Witch Celestia to the Rescue // Story: The Wrath of Witch Chrysalis // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// Chrysalis leads her army of assistants and hypnotized slaves deep into the forest. When they approached the stone arch, she turned to her army of creatures. "Once I turn on the magic of this arch," Chrysalis announced, "you will serve me forever!" Chrysalis laughs maniacally as her two partners, Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow look on with evil glee. Suddenly, a bright light shined behind them. From the light, Celestia and her two helpers emerged. "White Witch Celestia." Chrysalis said with interest. "We meet at last." "Yes, Chrysalis." Celestia replied. "Looks like we got here just in time." "We see you brought your assistants, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, with you." Abacus noticed. "Yes, I have. With their help, we will free your victims from you evil grasp." "Like, that’s going to happen!" Cozy remarked. Luna steps up to confront the team of kind witches. "They are all yours, Luna." Chrysalis said with authority. Celestia had her friends step back while she confronted her hypnotized sister. As Luna readies to battle, she looks at Celestia with uncertainty. Just then, she lowers her arms and her eyes are no longer red. "My dear sister." Celestia said calmly. "Celestia." Luna replied sadly. "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault. Chrysalis is very manipulative. But, even she cannot break our sisterly bond." Everybody watched as the two sisters slowly hugged each other. Suddenly, sparkling lights surrounded the two women. Soon, Luna transformed back to her normal self. "I don't believe it!" Abacus said angrily. "I can." Chrysalis replied. "Their love for each other is stronger than any curse." Shedding tears of joy, Luna smiled happily. "Thank you, Celestia. The grip of that witch is broken." "You're welcome, Luna." Celestia replied happily. Luna then made some rope appear. "Time to tie up a few loose ends!" Using the strands of rope, Luna tied Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Abacus Cinch together. The three evil women are annoyed as Chrysalis gave an order to her creature army. "Stop them! I command you all!" Hearing their master's orders, the five creatures slowly approached the four heroes. Celestia made a bright flash appear to blind the troll (Once known as Octavia). Sunset scattered some seeds in front of the zombified Wallflower Blush. The seeds extended into vines to ensnare her. "Sorry, Wallflower." Sunset sadly said. "It's for your own good." Twilight set up a rainbow beam type cage to trap the three animal beasts. "Twilight! Sunset!" Celestia called out as she holds up a sun shaped jewel. "Get your special jewels ready!" Twilight pulls out a six pointed purple star and Sunset readies a two toned sun.. What are they up to now? Chrysalis thought as she and her cohorts free themselves. "Magic of kindness and honor," Celestia called out, "energize these jewels and shatter the darkness!" Beams of light connected the jewels like a triangle. Suddenly, a rainbow beam shoots through and covers the evil army in a rainbow light show. "THE LIGHT!" Chrysalis calls out as she covers her eyes. "SO BRIGHT! PLEASE, STOP IT!" Chrysalis, her helpers, and slaves cover their eyes from the colorful flash. The magic of those colors is so powerful, Chrysalis thought nervously, it's breaking my control over my slaves. They'll probably change back to normal any second. The troll's skin changes from green to sepia as her hair is once again brown and straight. Octavia has returned to normal. Wallflower Blush's skin went back to light green and smooth as her hair is green and curly once again. Finally, the three animal slaves returned to normal. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are free from the cursed stamps. The trio of sorceresses shut down their magic, knowing that Chrysalis has failed. Her gate opened and she prepared to leave. "White Witch Celestia, " Chrysalis called out, "you're indeed a worthy opponent. I salute your victory." She then lowered the tone of her voice. "But, I'll be back." With that, the evil witch went through the gate, and it shut down. Abacus and Cozy crawled out if their hiding spot. "What happened?" Cozy asked. Soon, five barefoot women approached the two fiends as Wallflower spoke up. "Your leader lost." "Let's get out of here!" Abacus shouted. Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow ran away. Later, Celestia and her apprentices talked to the mayor about their progress. "With Chrysalis gone," Celestia reported, "her victims are free from her control, and her two partners are in hiding." "That's good." Mayor Mare said proudly. "I never want to see another witch here again!" She then turned to Celestia and her apprentices. "Present company excluded of course."
