//------------------------------// // Chapter 20: Defeating Queen Chrysalis and Discord's depression. // Story: Still Alive // by AngelinaSmith590 //------------------------------// Discord sighed. "Wow. I never knew Celestia and Luna lost their parents when they were fillies." Twilight said blinking away tears. "Celestia was 10 and Luna was 5, they are 5 years apart." He said flatly. "Who are Celestia and Luna's parents anyways?" Rainbow asked. "I told you, Queen Galaxia and King Cosmos." "How did they meet?" Applejack asked this time. "What is this, 20 questions? It's a really long story! Plus, dodn't we have to save Equestria?" Discord said sarcastically. "Fine! But as soon as we do, we want to know!" Twilight stated as they all walked out of the giant hole in the wall from Sombra, Amber and Treeo. "Was that there the whole time?!" Discord asked. "YEP!" They all responded cheerfully. Discord face- hoofed. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] After they sneaked into the main hall of the Castle, they all saw her. Queen Chrysalis...Who wasn't disguised as Celestia anymore. She was holding the real Celestia in a green bubble. And she was also holding Princess Luna hostage! "Unless you don't want them dead, I suggest you stop walking forward." She smiled an evil smile. "Let them Go!" Twilight blurted out. "Hmm ....Let me think. NO!" She laughed. "You have revealed yourself s foolishly! We will stop you!" Treeo stepped forward. "You are such a good actress, Treeo!" She smiled again. Discord looked straight at his old friend. "No ...Please tell me it's not true!" His eyes were starting to fill up with tears. "I wish I could, Discord. I'm sorry ...." She said softly, then smiled as she walked up to Queen Chrysalis and stood beside her. "You see, me and her go waaayyyy back! Speaking of my friends, c'mere Amber!" Amber was grabbed in the evil queen's magic, and trapped like Celestia and Luna. "Let her go!" Sombra yelled. "Sombra! Help me!" Amber Leaf screamed. "Let my Amber go, you monster!" He charged at Queen Chrysalis, only to be held back by the others. Now we had Sombra, who was angry that she took Amber, and Discord. Who's sadness turned into anger. "How could you! You were my friend Treeo! I-I trusted you! We trusted you!" He narrowed his eyes. "That was what I was trying to do! You're so foolish, Discord! Before I stumbled into you and the two princesses, I met Chrysalis! We were the best of friends." She smiled widely. The two hugged. "I missed you so much, Treeo." "I missed you too, Chryssy." "I gotta say, you should win a whinny award for that performance! And the way you hugged Discord and fake cried." She pretended to blow her nose, " Such a tear jerk-er." "But you're the Tree Of Harmony! You can't be evil!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Yeah, we trusted ya'll!" Applejack started to yell too. "Enough." Discord mumbled. "huh?" "Let's just use the Elements, and get this over with!" "Yeah! I wan't Amber back!" Sombra chimed in. The mane 6 shrugged and put on their necklaces. Discord walked away, a single tear streaming down his cheek. "C'MON GIRLS! LET'S SAVE EQUESTRIA!" Twilight yelled. With that, a rainbow consumed Chryslais and Treeo as the mane 6 were lifted up in a flash of light, Chrysalis screamed. She was shot back into the Everfree forest, and Celestia, Luna, Amber, and Treeo remained. "Celestia! Luna! Are you OK?" Twilight screamed, running towards them. Sombra ran strait to Amber Leaf and hugged her. "Are you OK, Amber?" He asked, concerned. "I'm fine." She said, returning the hug. "Luna! How could you?! Betray me like that?" Celestia looked over to her sister who was lying on the floor unconscious. "Sister?" Luna responded. "No, Celestia, it was Queen Chrysalis! She took over replacing you and thinking she was Luna." Twilight explained, then she looked over to Treeo and lifted her up with her magic. Then she opened her mouth, but nothing came out. "You! You're evil! How could you betray us like that?" Treeo didn't answer. "Answer me before I throw you towards the Everfree Forest with your best friend!" "What?" She answered, a flash of green light leaving her eyes. "Huh?" Twilight mumbled. "What's going on? Where's Discord?!" She doesn't seem to remember a thing. Twilight thought. "Rainbow! Applejack! I need you two to keep an eye on her, while I go talk to Discord. And don't hurt her ...yet." "Can do, Twi!" Twilight ran out of the castle to see Discord sitting on the steps. "Discord, she was under a spell, it wasn't her." "She betrayed us!" "Discord, Queen Chrysails put her under a spell! She didn't betray us- you willingly." "I hate her." He mumbled so softly that Twilight couldn't hear. "What?" "I said! I HATE HER, AND I WISH I NEVER MET HER!" Standing at the doorway was in fact, Treeo. Twilight was correct, she was under a spell. "I can't believe I did that!" She said to herself. "I ruined our friendship!" Treeo ran after him. When she finally caught up to him, he was in tears again. And so was she. "D-Discord?" "What do you want?" "I-I'm sorry!" She ran up to him and buried her head in his chest. "I was under a spell!" She sobbed, "I would never betray you! You're my best friend!" "You are such a good actress! Never again will I be your friend! Y-you liar!" Treeo only hugged him tighter. "No! Please!" "I guess that makes two of us." "What?" She looked up to see a toothy grin on his face. "We are both good actors! Of course I forgive you, Treeo!" She returned that smile and he wiped away her tears. "Thanks." She said. "It's what friends do."
