DIVIDED FOUNDATIONS CHAPTER 17:
QUEEN CHANGELING: This is not your fight! As if mere machine would know the depths of ones soul.
STORYTELLER: You forget our highness. I was created to keep the history of Equestria. And history is full of emotion, defeats and triumphs.
QUEEN CHANGELING: FINE! Give me your emotions!
STORYTELLER: EVERYPONY! NOW!
Everyone started concentrating their thoughts. The story teller went to the streets and told the ponies of canterlot to do the same. Everyone was to concentrate on love.
RAINBOW DASH: Twilight! Look!
Twilight sparkle looked down at all of the ponies. She then looked around at the team in the sky around her. She was surprised that even though that not all the ponies were unicorns and gristle was not a pony, that the were able to manifest their loving thoughts into one energy. Twilight then went over to Celestia of the Sun.
Celestia's magical amour so hot, that twilight could only come within 30 or so feet of her. Celestia's eyes were lost to flames and her hair like liquid fire.
TWILIGHT: PRINCESS! PLEASE...! WE NEED YOU TOO!
Celestia of the sun slowly starts to turn her head to twilight, but then is interrupted by Queen changelings laughter. Celestia snaps her head back at her target and slightly lifts her right hoof.
TWILIGHT: NO! NO DO NOT LISTEN TO HERrr... PRINCESS... DO NOT LET OTHERS USE YOUR EMOTIONS AGAINST YOU. THAT IS THE SECRET. BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR FEELINGS AND DEFEAT QUEEN CHANGELING WITH TRUE LOVE!
Celestia of the Sun lowers her head and then lowers her eye lids half way. She starts to ponder what twilight was saying to her.
TWILIGHT: I DO NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF PAST YOU AND DISCORD HAD. OR EVEN THE FULL PAST BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SISTER. AND THOSE THINGS ARE PRIVATE. THE ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR SOME OTHER PONIES GAIN OR WRATH UP ON YOU!
LIKE YOU HELPED ME REMEMBER... REMEMBER WHAT IT IS TO LOVE... AND CONCENTRATE IT.
QUEEN CHANGELING: YES! Give me more power Celestia. You might as well burn out what you have left within you, anyway.
CELESTIA OF THE SUN: (CANTERLOT VOICE) : If that tis' what thou desire.
Celestia of the Sun starts remembering the times with her father. the birth of her sister and the lost of her mother. She remembered when Luna first flew. When they first swam in a lake. Celestia remembered seeing all the beautiful faces of different creatures along her travels, then meeting Playtrick that night on the cliff where Canterlot castle is now standing.
The sitting in the candy clouds, her first kiss, his arms around her. Her arms around her sister after they turned Discord into stone. Her arms around twilight and how young and talented she was, and being thankful and fortunate to have a apprentice that loved her as much as she loved twilight.
Even though it was with tears, Celestia of the sun completed the swarm of energy. A hush waved over the land as the force blasted the queen's army to parts unknown. Queen changeling looked back at her missing army, then at celestia.
Celestia, turning back to her rainbow haired self and brilliant purple eyes, swooped up to the queen. The changeling queen expecting a hoof hit or a horn battle flinched. Celestia lowered her brows then relaxed her face. Within a breaths distance of the changeling queen.
CELESTIA: Go, with love.
The changeling queen looked around her. The canterlot armies finest were surrounding her. As she was about to escape one of the mare guards put the changeling's queens hoofs behind her back and tied them.
MARE-GUARD: By order of the palace of Canterlot and The Two Sister Princesses of Equestria, you are hear by under arrest for inciting a war onto this land, attacking the princesses of the realm Luna and Celestia, citizens and the Murder of thee Spirit of Chaos Discord.
You shall be locked away until your day of trial were you shall be presented in front of the Majesty and sentenced.
QUEEN CHANGELING: I-AM-A-QUEEEENNNN!!! I'AM ABOVE THE LAW OF THE LAND! OF ANY land!
Queen changeling is carried off with three Pegasus guards holding a very firm grip to her. Princess celestia lowers her head. She then closes her eyes and a tear drops. Celestia feels a familiar hoof on her side. She looks down and sees twilight. Celestia wraps her front left leg around twilight rubbing her head on her cheek. Celestia then releases twilight and looks down at her.
CELESTIA: Thank... you...
Later that evening after magically repairing most of canterlot and healing the citizens, celestia and the others arrive back at the still heavily damage castle. She looks into the throne room and from a distance sees the dust on the floor. The evening wind slightly stirring it.
TWILIGHT: Princess...
Princess celestia is frozen looking in at the dust. She then slowly goes into the throne room. The others go into the door frame and look on at her.
Celestia's eyes start to water as she gets closer to the dust pile that was once Discord, also known as Playtrick.
She still sees the queens hoof print in the dust. Celestia lightly moves her hoof over the dust, removing it. She clears her throat and turns away.
TWILIGHT: ...princess...
LUNA: Sister...
CELESTIA: We need to start repairing the castle. But i know that everypony must be tired.
Celestia says, as she walks in between the awaiting ponies and gristle. Twilight and the others look at each other and then at celestia.
TWILIGHT: But, princess...
LUNA: No... Let her do this on her own.
Luna puts a hoof on twilight's back. Twilight lowers her head and sighs deeply.
DERPY: NO! This is unacceptable!
Derpy putting a hoof to the ground.
