The following day, all the villains were reunited once again at the meeting table. Some of them still had to recover from the horrors they witnessed the previous day.
“Chrysalis, this is your turn i believe” said Grogar.
“I already have my plan in mind” she said. “First, I’m going to tear down their reputation...Secondly, i’m going to turn them against each other. At default to break their friendship, i’ll ruin their reputation...”
“A simplistic, but effective plan” said Grogar. “Those girls have business outside Canterlot for the day...It’s the perfect time to execute the first part of your plan...”"
Chrysalis smiled devilishly. Back to our heroes, Sunset and friends decided to spend the day at Camp Everfree. They got the authorization from Gloriosa Daisy to do so earlier. This way, if a villain decided to attack them, no innocents bystanders would be affected.
“Are you sure the villains come specifically for us?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Yes” answered Sunset, eating a candy bar. “Because the big baddie behind the attacks is after our Elements of Harmony. Thanks to Twilight, Celestia and Luna, i was able to get my hand on a list of all the villains they fought. In chronological order: The Sirens, Cosmos, Discord, The Pony of Shadows, Nightmare, the entity responsible of turning Rarity and Luna evil, King Sombra, Tirek, Eris, Starlight Glimmer and Cozy Glow. We can already write out Sombra and Discord, since they revealed themselves. We can also write out Cozy Glow out, since she’s with Celestia, and Eris, since she helped us defeat Sombra. Lastly, i have to consider Nightmare as a potential enemy...Twilight said they reformed those creatures, but one could have survived. I’m also including Starlight Glimmer too, take my word for it. That only leave Cosmos, Adagio, Aria and Sonata, Tirek and The Pony of Shadows as enemies, plus the one bossing them around.”
Sunset handed them a list of the villains abilities and powers.
“The more we know about them, the better we can fight them” she said.
The girls removed their clothes to be in bikini. They removed their bottom, jumped in the water and turned into mermaids. Meanwhile, Chrysalis was already causing trouble for the girls in town. Her plan was to impersonate each of them doing crimes and being mean to their friends and family. When it was time for the girls to head back home, Chrysalis was done and waited for the show.
“I’ve got a bad feeling, girls” said Sunset. “Among the villains i listed, there is Queen Chrysalis. She’s a Changeling and possess the ability to shapeshift.”
“You think she might have profited of our absence in town to...Impersonate us?” asked Twilight.
“I believe so...” answered Sunset. “If i’m right, we’re in serious, but serious trouble...”
“Your goddamn right!!” said Pinkie. “Like all shapeshifting villains, she probably did crimes while impersonating us, which would ruin our superhero credibility. She also probably turned our friends and family against us as well.”
“And she won’t stop there” said Sunset. “Following that logic, her next step would be turning us against each other...”
“How could we tell if one of us is not her in disguise?” asked Fluttershy.
“A secret password, silly!!” answered Pinkie Pie.
“Very well” said Sunset “When i or you say Friendship, the other must answer Magic. This way, if Chrysalis show herself to one of us, we can easily unmask her.”
Sunset handed a piece of paper to her friends, wrapped in 4.
“We still have to prove it was her doing those crimes, not us” said Applejack.
“I can probably undo the mess Chrysalis did, with my magic” said Sunset. “I’ll figure something out...For now, let’s just play the game she set for us...or she’ll doubt of something.”
Sunset and her friends were at the border of the city. Rarity saw, stuck to a pole, a wanted poster of herself.
“Your intuition was good, Sunset” said Rarity. “That bitch did made us criminals while we were away”
“Let’s keep a low profile” said Applejack. “Rarity, i suppose you have disguises we could use, right?”
“You know it, Darling!” she answered. “Those should do the trick!!”
They put the disguises on, which were wigs, smoked glasses or hoodies. Now disguised, they entered Canterlot City. They obviously knew Chrysalis wouldn’t get fooled by their disguises. The girls went different ways, expecting Chrysalis to come after one of them. Unfortunately for the heroes, Grogar had witnessed their discussion about villains and Chrysalis. He obviously told her the secret password the girls made to unmask her. But smarter than her fellow villains, she suspected a trap and modified her plan.
“They wouldn’t be so careless as to reveal their secret code out loud.” said Chrysalis to herself. “They probably figured by now they could be spied on. Might as well fight them directly, since they split up...Let’s start with the weakest of the team...”
She was speaking of Fluttershy, obviously. After spending a couple minutes tracking her down, she transformed into a cute, inoffensive kitten. She knew Fluttershy couldn’t resist the sight of an animal, even less one in the need. When Fluttershy was in sight, Chrysalis started meowing.
“You poor, poor kitten!!” said Fluttershy, grabbing it “There there, Mommy is here...”
Chrysalis started purring. Fluttershy cuddled the little kitten. Without any warning, Chrysalis started draining the love out of Fluttershy’s heart. In a couple seconds, Fluttershy felt on the floor, too weak to stand up. Chrysalis took back her normal appearance and laughed. She trapped Fluttershy in a cocoon, stole her magic geode and left.
“One down, 6 to go” said Chrysalis.
She set her sight on Rainbow Dash next. To fool her, she’ll take Soarin’s appearance. By reading her diary, she knew Rainbow Dash had a crush on the guy. When Rainbow Dash was in sight, she transformed into Soarin. Obviously, when the tomboyish girl appercieved her crush, she headed for him.
“Rainbow Dash?” said Soarin. “Why are you dressed like a...girl?”
Rainbow Dash blushed.
“Uh, i didn’t mean it like that!!” said Soarin. “It’s just not the style of clothes you usually wear”
“I’m hiding” said Rainbow Dash. “Don’t you know i’m a wanted criminal?”
“Wait, really?” said Soarin. “You don’t look like the criminal kind to me...”
Soarin got closer to Rainbow Dash, who blushed even more. As she did with Fluttershy, Chrysalis started draining the love out of her body. When Rainbow Dash fell on the ground, too weak to stand up, she cocooned her and stole her Element of Harmony.
“You’re love betrayed you, Rainbow Dash” said Chrysalis, walking away.
The next target she had in mind was Rarity. By reading her diary, she discovered she couldn’t resist the sight of a gemstone, Raggamuffin or a beautiful dress. So, she proceeded to trace down Rarity and when she did, she turned into a beautiful dress and let herself lying on the side of a garbage can, in an alley.
“Oh my!!” said Rarity. “What monster would throw such a magnificient dress in the trash?!”
She took the dress and inspected it. She immediately felt in love with the piece of cloth. Chrysalis stroke and drained Rarity’s love until she couldn’t stand anymore. As she did with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash before, she cocooned Rarity and left, laughing, with her Element of Harmony.
“Next target, the nerdy girl” said Chrysalis, refering of Twilight.
She took the appearance of a cute little robot and laid herself against a wall, near a pile of trash. As soon as Twilight saw the robot, she walked to it and grabbed it.
“Your creator abandonned you, uh?” said Twilight. “Don’t worry, i’ll fix you up in no time!!”
She felt in love with the robot’s cute design. That was what Chrysalis waited for and sucked the love out of Twilight. Once she had been drained, stolen and cocooned, Chrysalis walked away.
“It’s that party-loving girl’s turn, now” she said.
To trick Pinkie, she had a simple plan. She knew Pinkie wouldn’t resist the sight of a cake, balloon or sad kid. She chose to turn herself into a little boy and waited for Pinkie Pie to show up. When she saw her, Chrysalis started crying. Pinkie Pie looked around to see where the cries came from and saw the little boy.
“A sad kid?” she said. “Not on my watch!!”
The kid ran to her and hugged her.
“My Mommy...I lost my mommy!!” said Chrysalis. “It was my birthday today and...”
“Say no more!!” shouted Pinkie Pie, who always had a party kit with her.
Chrysalis let Pinkie Pie distract her and when she had enough, started laughing.
“Now, let’s look for your mommy!!” said Pinkie Pie.
Chrysalis stroke again and drained Pinkie Pie’s love. Like all the others, Pinkie found herself cocooned, have her geode taken and suspended above an alley. There was only two left to take care off, Applejack and Sunset Shimmer. She chose Applejack as her next victim...To trick her, she would transform into a fancy golden apple. She tracked down Applejack and turned into a golden apple once she was close to her. The farm girl obviously saw the apple and couldn’t believe her eyes. When she took it, she realized the apple was made of solid gold.
“I’m really torn between selling this gold apple or keeping it for myself....” She said. “It’s so shiny, so beautiful...”
Applejack let her infatuation for gold get the best of herself. Chrysalis drained her love and cocooned her, after stealing her geode.
“Of course, i kept the best for last” said Chrysalis. “I won’t be able to fool her, since she can read minds...But i’ve got more than enough power to subdue her.”
“That’s what you think!!” said Sunset Shimmer.
Chrysalis turned into a wild tiger and jumped on Sunset. She touched Chrysalis’ forehead and this one dropped dead on the ground. She reverted to her normal look, unable to move her body.
“Don’t bother trying to move” said Sunset. “I shut down the part of your brain allowing you to do so.”
She took back the geodes and looked Chrysalis right in the eyes. She allowed the villain the speak.
“You had this ace up your sleeve all this time?” asked Chrysalis. “He was right, you girls are full of surprises...I’m utterly defeated.”
“I’ll let you go if you undo the mess you did in town.” answered Sunset.
Discord appeared next to Chrysalis.
“That’s already done” said Discord. “I also freed and healed your friends. Now, can you undo your spell?”
Sunset touched Chrysalis’ forehead again.
“She can move again, now” said Sunset.
Discord left with Chrysalis in his arm. Sunset’s friends joined her shortly after. She told them she defeated Chrysalis and that Discord undid everything she’s done to their reputation.
“You can paralyze people with a finger touch?!” Asked Rainbow Dash. “Awesome!!”
The girls removed their disguises and returned home. Discord had told Sunset the truth, cause no one bothered them, not even the police. Back to Grogar’s castle, Chrysalis had fully recovered from her paralysis, but her pride had been shook a lot.
“Sonata, Adagio and Aria, it’s your turn” said Grogar to the Sirens. "
“Great, i’ve been craving for a rematch...” said Adagio. “I didn’t forgot the humilation those girls inflicted to us at the Battle of the Bands. Our musical skills have improved a lot since then, let’s see if their has improved as well...”
