Queen Chrysalis continued to look straight at the newly transformed Dr. Whooves, deep with curiosity. "Surprised?" Dr. Whooves, in the form of Queen Chrysalis, said "Don't you think you're capable of such a thing as time travel?" it continued. Queen Chrysalis looked at him/her "Are you saying you're me from the future?" The other Queen Chrysalis nodded. She was indeed Queen Chrysalis from the future and had just taken Dr. Whooves' form!

The future Queen Chrysalis continued "And as I said before, we need each other right now. The two of us can go back in time again! Then there will be four of us total! The original, me from a few minutes ago while I was waiting for you to be defeated, you, and I! Four master changelings against a few ponies! We'll be unstoppable!" The past Queen Chrysalis' grin grew until she joined in on an evil laughter than the future one had started. The future Queen Chrysalis began telling the past Queen Chrysalis about who the two ponies she had brought were.

Colgate was actually one of the changelings in her army and Derpy Hooves…was probably the most important of them all. If they hadn't distracted Princess Celestia with Derpy, she would have realized that they were traveling into the past and would try to stop them. To avoid that, they added Derpy to the team, giving more work for the Princess to cover and hide from her subjects. They had to tell Derpy that Princess Luna had suggested time travel just so she would go along with it even though it wasn't true at all. Finally, if they had brought any other pony, they would have realized what the changelings were up to and would have stopped them dead in their tracks. Only Derpy could be that oblivious. Now that there were two Queen Chrysalises, they could go back to the TARDIS, without any hesitation of being caught by Derpy because she was really no match for two master changelings and an entire army. The two stepped out of the hut.

"Huh?" Derpy said as she saw two Queen Chrysalises step out. "Oh don't you get it Derpy Hooves? You've been playing for us the entire time." The future Queen Chrysalis said. Colgate put her hooves on Derpy's neck. "Take her away, minion!" said the past Queen Chrysalis. Colgate nodded, transformed into an army changeling and flew her away, deeper into the changeling colony.

"Well. Now that that's done, we can proceed to the TARDIS!" said future Chrysalis. "May ask what IS this TARDIS?" asked the past Chrysalis. The future Chrysalis explained that the TARDIS was Dr. Whooves' time machine and that she transformed into him so that she could use it. They got inside and headed back for the past once more. This time, they were a little farther behind the TARDIS that came here before.

They went up to the Queen Chrysalis stepping out of the TARDIS who at this time was still in her Dr. Whooves form and with Derpy Hooves and the changeling in Colgate's form. "Send her back to the colony." Queen Chrysalis told the changeling in Colgate's form. Like before, or after it should be said, Colgate transformed into her true changeling form and brought Derpy back to the changeling colony. Now, the future Chrysalis told the new Chrysalis about how her plan had worked. Now the three were there and would wait for the perfect moment to reveal themselves.

It was almost time. Shining Armor and Cadence put their horns together, about to send off Chrysalis and her army back to the colony. This time, it would be different. Queen Chrysalis was about to re-write history! The three Chrysalises burst into the room, scaring Shining Armor and Cadence for a split second. There were now four chrysalises. The original Chrysalis, the Chrysalis from the TARDIS, the Chrysalis from the changeling colony, and finally the Chrysalis from the future. The original Chrysalis was still confused but the others told her not to worry and they would explain later. "Fools. You really think you could defeat the one and only Queen Chrysalis?" the future Chrysalis said "Think again." The colony Chrysalis whispered to the original Chrysalis to follow her lead.

All four now lightened up their horns. Twilight, Shining Armor, and Cadence all lit up their horns as well and it was quite a showdown. Even the power of love and friendship was no match for an entire changeling army AND four Queen Chrysalises! Now, everyone lay on the floor as the Chrysalises' power was so strong it knocked everyone unconscious.

The future Chrysalis had a surprised look on her face along with the others. She looked to the other Chrysalises. "W-we did it. We won."
