The entire group stared in shock at the three fillies standing right in front of them, each of them blinked multiple times and lightly smacked their faces believing that they her hallucinating or just having a bad dream. But alas this was no dream or a hallucination , the fillies standing in front of them were real and they were beyond pissed at the group especially Applejack, Big Mac, rarity, and Dash. they continued to stare in disbelief at the three girls standing next to the changeling cream but non showed more shock than AJ, Big Mac, rarity, and Dash as they were surprised to find the three fillies who've they've been searching for these past 4 month's standing right there, in the flesh.............................................
The Cutie Mark Crusaders
As the group continued to stare trying so hard to believe that this was a bad dream as there was no way these three fillies would ally themselves with Queen Chrysalis. As they surveyed the trio they noticed quite a few changes on each of them, Scootaloo was now flying which surprised Dash as the filly has always had a hard time flying properly, Sweetie Belle's hair was styled in a punkish design and was now spiky and dyed a dark purple which shocked the glamorous mare as her little sister would never style her hair in such a manor, Apple bloom had a scar on the left side of her face possibly from their time in the wildlands and her signature red bow was replaced with a black one making it harder for the older siblings to even recognize their little sister, but the biggest feature of the trio was that they were wearing dark gothic like clothes that gave a menacing tone and appearance and each of them have grown slightly. After a minute of shock and surprise one of em broke the ice and spoke.
"Wassup big sis?" Sweetie Belle said with a wicked smile and menacing tone earning a shocked look from her older sister as well as the other's.
"Sweetie Belle?" Rarity said trying her hardest not to cry.
"Scoots?" Dash said in shock"
"Apple bloom?" Big Mac and Applejack said in unison.
"Your here?" Applejack questioned. " Your actually here standing right in front of us? Is this a dream or a trick?"
"Oh We're real alright AJ" Bloom answered menacingly." And we're real pissed"
"Pissed of at what!?" Dash shouted. "What could you possibly be angry about?"
"Are you serious that naive Dash? Pffft and to think I used to look up to you" Scootaloo scoffed earning an offended look from the element of loyalty. " But to jog your memory your the reason we're all pissed"
"Scoots is right, you guys are the reason we're pissed off" Sweetie belle jumped in earning a loud gasp from Rarity who never expected to hear her lil sister use such language. " We tried to explain to you the reason why we posted your secret's but did you guy's listen ? NO!!!!!!!!"
"Tiara blackmailed not only us but our classmates that she'd post our darkest secrets if we didn't help with this gabby gum thing" Apple bloom replied. " We knew we couldn't back down out of fear of our secrets getting posted so we tried to ask you guys for help but you didn't listen to us and instead you treated us like garbage by yelling at us to go away after your precious secrets were exposed to the public" As the filly made her statement Big mac and Applejack lowered their heads in shame remembering how harsh they were to their little sister.
"Pouring rain on us like a big bully" Scoots jumped is as Rainbow Dash berated herself for being so harsh towards the young girls especially hearing the world bully again since her weather team called her one after hearing about what she did to them.
"And lets not forget calling us the worst sister in the world, banning us from the library, slamming the freaking door in our faces, and not facing or confronting us like a coward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sweetie belle shouted earning shocked and remorseful looks by not only her big sis but Twilight and the others too.
"Girls we had no idea......................................." Fluttershy jumped in.
"IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Apple bloom interrupted .You guy's and everyone else in ponyville hurt us in the worst way imaginable. We thought you guys loved us and would always have our backs but boy were we wrong, so now we're gonna show you guy's what its like to be hurt "
"AND YOU THINK ALLYING YOURSELVES WITH THAT INSECT'LL MAKE YA'LL FEEL BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????" Big Mac shouted while pointing at the Changeling queen who was wickedly giggling throughout the argument between the group.
" Oh Chrysalis was a means to an end for all three of us big bro" Apple bloom replied. However as they spoke, Twilight noticed a familiar pendant wrapped around each of the fillies necks.
"Wait is that......................." she began but was quickly stopped by Apple bloom.
"Yes the alicorn amulet" Bloom answered which earned a shocked look from the unicorn, having encountered the same trinket last year during Trixie's return when she had it in her possession giving her dark and threatening powers and almost cause the magician to do unspeakable acts if Twilight haven't gotten it out of her possession. But what surprised her the most as to where they got em especially since Twilight remembered destroying the first one last year"
"How did you get those?!" She asked. " I destroyed the first one, and secondly how did you get three of them?"
"I'd be more than happy to answer your lil question Sparkle" chrysalis interrupted earning a growl from the unicorn." While it's true that you've destroyed the first alicorn amulet. it's not impossible to find another one either, I actually came across a second one across my trek through the wildlands and after witnessing it's power I knew this artifact was exactly what I needed to ensure my second takeover was successful this time. However after recruiting the CMC I decided to give it to them instead as I felt that they would be worthy of it's power due to their thirst for revenge, so after a quick duplication spell I managed to successfully make not one but three amulets for each of them"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!???????????" Twilight screamed. " That amulet is dangerous! When Trixie had it it nearly took over her body and mind, If I hadn't taken it out of her hands it might have killed her. And now you've given it to three young fillies are you crazy?!"
"Hey watch your mouth with the queen sparkle!" Scoots said earning an offended and shocked look from the unicorn and an appreciative look from Chrysalis. " to answer your question, chrysalis being the most amazing pony we've ever met has mangaged to work out the kinks of the trinket after duplicating and giving them to us. So not only do we have new and awesome abilities especially me finally learning to fly properly but without the worry of it taken over and damaging our bodies."
"Scoots COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! Dash shouted. " This isn't you and I know it. I get that your pissed at us for what we've done but this is not the answer!"
"Oh isn't it Dash?" Scoots replied. " That's funny coming from you especially after you poured rain on us" After making her remark Dash couldn't muster the courage to argue back not wanting to admit that her lil sister figure has a point as her actions weren't the answer either.
" How did you three even manage to survive these past 4 months anyway?" Rarity asked. " Especially since you didn't even bother to pack a suitcase or even a backpack full of supplies"
"Well Rarity, ya see after we left we've practically had to learn to defend ourselves" Scootaloo began. " Leaving without supplies wasn't exactly the best idea but we figured that you guy's wouldn't let us in our respected houses so we decided to tough it up and go about the world with nothing but the hooves on our backs. Sure we've had to do quite a few reckless act's to get by these past 4 months like pick pocketing, hunting, sneaking into hotel rooms, defending ourselves against the various creatures out there in the world, stealing from a few stores, etc. All to get us by"
" And after we got kicked out of the 5th hotel we snuck into last month we decided to just rough it and camp out in the wildlands" Sweetie belle jumped in. "It was a challenge at first with non of us ever gone camping, hunting, or even stepped foot in the wilderness before, but somehow we managed to pull through. However luck soon came to our side and that's when we met the changeling queen and her loyal subjects. At first we were startled due to not seeing any creature like her or anyone else, but after she informed us about her plan to take over ponyville we were all in for it especially since she promised us a new home and a chance to get revenge on not only Tiara but for every citizen in town who hurt us mentally" After sweetie belle gave her little explanation the entire group hung their heads in shame and guilt, each showed their own level of remorse due to their actions leading three fillies to a dark path with the Changeling that they've defeated last year.
" And I must say it's only been a month but i've come to love these little girl's " Chrysalis said happily before bringing the three fillies into a hug. " they're like the little sisters I've always wanted💚"
"In your dreams witch!!!!!!!!!" Rarity shouted. " If you think I'm gonna stand by and let you manipulate my little sister you got another thing coming!"
"Oh yeah?" Chrysalis replied after ending the hug. " You think you guys will be able to stop me again even though you don't have the elements of harmony with you or Cadence and Armor's love magic?" after making her statement the mane six knew she was right especially with the elements being all the way in Canterlot, saddened looks formed in each of their faces as three of ponyvilles known trio of happy go lucky fillies has turned over to the dark side.
"Bloom please, have some common sense" Applejack begged almost in tears. " You don't have ta be with this insect , come back to us and we can discuss this please"
"It's too late sis, much too late" Bloom replied.
"The damage is already done" Scoots said.
"And now you'll face the consequences of your actions among us" Sweetie belle replied menacingly and then turned to the changeling queen. " Chrysalis do your thing"
"It would be my pleasure" Chrysalis happily replied. And soon the changeling queen let out a signaling screeching sound and soon hundreds of her changeling army began to rain down onto the street's of ponyville as a few of the citizens who were still on the streets started to panic as the creatures entered their town , the group stared in shock and horror at the surprising entrance of the insect like intruders entering their town as Chrysalis and the CMC let out a wicked and evil laugh as their subjects entered the streets of ponyville.
"Ponyville is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chrysalis shouted victoriously as the group remained shocked and horrified, their small town was in for a world of trouble.
