//------------------------------// // Battling Queen Chrysalis // Story: A Banished Glimmer // by Starlight Fan //------------------------------// We then see Discord and Starlight teleport into the Canterlot Castle. “Starlight!” Twilight cheered before immediately embracing her former pupil. “I almost thought I’d never see you again.” Twilight said with tears of joy in her eyes. “I missed you Twilight, I missed you all.” Starlight said happily as she looked at Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike, Luna, Discord, and Sunset. Celestia and Starlight then locked eyes before Starlight awkwardly looked away. “Starlight I must speak with you.” Celestia said in guilt. “Uh okay.” Starlight said awkwardly. “Look Starlight, I may have been unfair at the trial when I banished you. The thing is Blueblood is my nephew and when I heard that you or as we now found out that Chrysalis attacked him I was furious and wanted to make you pay but I disregarded your side of the story I’m very sorry.” Celestia apologized. “Not gonna lie it’ll take a while for me to trust you again but I forgive you.” Starlight said. “I guess I’m sorry for falsely accusing you.” Blueblood apologized awkwardly. Starlight rolled her eyes knowing that’s all she’s gonna get from Blueblood “I forgive you but we’re not really friends though.” “Oh definitely not.” Blueblood shook his head. “I hate to interrupt this apology fest but we still need to stop Queen Chrysalis.” Discord said. “Right, but where could she be now?” Sunset asked. Soon they hear laser blasts and Pinkie Pie began pointing outside the window. “Oh she’s right there.” Pinkie Pie said before she saw Chrysalis with three cocoons being levitated and in those cocoons were Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. “And she’s got Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity.” Fluttershy said in fear. “Oh no we have to stop her.” Twilight said, in a scared tone. “But how?” Sunset asked. “Me and Discord could sneak attack her while you all distract her.” Starlight suggested “She probably doesn’t know that I’m back.” “Good idea.” Discord complimented Starlight. Soon Chrysalis was seen flying through Canterlot smirking “Oh Celestia, come out come out wherever you are.” “Halt Chrysalis!” Celestia said angrily before we see her and Luna flying in the sky. “Ah your majesties, what are you going to do against me, I’ve already taken half of your Element Bearers so you can’t use those pesky elements against me.” Chrysalis smirked. “We may not be able to use the Elements of Harmony but we can still show you a world of hurt.” Luna said before she began blasting Chrysalis but she dodged. Chrysalis then blasted again but Luna also dodged. “Guards, attack!” Celestia commanded. Soon multiple guards showed up and began using their horns on Chrysalis and tried blasting her, they had little effect on her and soon Chrysalis blasted some of the guards, knocking them out. While Chrysalis and the guards were fighting, Pinkie Pie walked behind her with a Party Cannon “Surprise Attack!” Soon the party cannon blasted cake on Chrysalis making her fall over, while Fluttershy was with a bunch of birds “Fly my pretties.” The birds then peck at Chrysalis before she blasts them away from her. Sunset also blasted Chrysalis with magic of her own and Spike used his fire breath to burn her horn a bit making her scream before snarling “You three are fools to challenge me.” Chrysalis before she began flaring up her horn and aimed fire on Pinkie Pie, Sunset, Fluttershy, and Spike before Twilight jumped in front of them and fired a blast of her own deflecting Chrysalis’ beam. Soon Celestia, Luna, and Twilight combine their blasts against Chrysalis but the former queen was evenly matched with them and fired a beam of equal power. Starlight and Discord were seen behind Twilight and the Royal Sisters when Starlight fired a beam at Chrysalis blasting her since she was off guard, she fell to the ground and soon multiple guards surrounded her with Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Discord, and Starlight in front of her. “Give up Chrysalis, you’ve lost.” Starlight said angrily. “Not yet.” Chrysalis smirked before she blasted Starlight with a bunch of power making Starlight collapse with a singe mark on her stomach. “Starlight!” Twilight and Spike screamed as they ran up to their friend. Celestia and Luna then restrained Chrysalis with their magic, “Guards put the anti-magic ring on her now!” Celestia commanded. Soon a sun guard used his horn and placed the ring on top of Chrysalis’ horn. “Now you have truly lost Chrysalis.” Celestia smirked. Chrysalis just maniacally laughed freaking out the many ponies surrounding her. “What is so funny?” Luna asked angrily. “You may have defeated me, but you haven’t exactly won. Who knows if Starlight will survive the blast I set upon her, I put a lot of power into it.” Chrysalis smirked. “Starlight is a strong mare, she will survive this.” Celestia said confidently. “Don’t be too sure, besides this all never would’ve happened if you didn’t banish her. All you had to do was trust her word for it, let the trial go on for a bit longer, and MAYBE you would’ve found out the truth.” Chrysalis said. “Unfortunately you are right, I should’ve heard Starlight out...” Celestia began before Chrysalis interrupted her “But you didn’t, did you? After all you most likely didn’t trust her even after being reformed for years. What if Discord gets framed too, you gonna banish him too? Or what about your precious sister?” “I would never do that to Luna or Discord!” Celestia yelled. “But you did it to Starlight, so who knows if that would happen.” Chrysalis smirked. “Take her away to Tartarus.” Celestia growled. The unicorn guards nodded before grabbing Chrysalis with their magic and walking away with her being levitated. “You know I’m right Celestia, and I always will be.” Chrysalis maniacally laughs before she’s put in a cage and the cage began being levitated. “Sister, you mustn’t let Chrysalis’ words get to you, you made a mistake based on your emotions besides I somewhat understand why you probably didn’t trust Starlight.” Luna comforted Celestia. “What have I done?” Celestia asked horrified.
