Present...
When Twilight awoke she promised herself to stop passing out or fall asleep repeatedly. While she had fallen asleep, her hoof fell into the pond and when she took it out it was pruned. Funny, in all her years she had never seen a pruned hoof. She thought of who would freak out if she ever saw one, Rarity, the thought of Rarity made Twilight cringe. She thought she was dead, maybe she was still alive, who knew? Twilight rubbed her eyes, they hurt, the sleep wasn't as refreshing as she hoped. She had to find a way out of here, slowly she made her way across the steep tunnel that led outside. Finally outside, Twilight deep a deep breath and squinted to see. She lighted her horn, when she saw what was in front of her she gasped.
"Celestia?" As soon as the pony came she disappeared. Twilight rubbed her eyes once again, hallucinations were definitely not a good thing. One thing was for sure, that was not a changeling. Twilight flew up into the dark sky, which was considerably cooler, she wandered around aimlessly but then paused when through the light of her horn she saw a dark pillar. It didn't take her long to realize it was a castle, a deformed version of Canterlot. Twilight winced at the sight, How did I let this happen? She thought. The more she looked at it, the more it hurt her; Canterlot had developed holes that looked like a changeling hoof, it was morphed into the most hideous shape of what looked like a skull. On one of the holes, that looked like it was for an eyeball, green goo oozed out. When Twilight looked closer she saw ponies trapped in the green goo. She rushed over, then a low snarl sounded behind her. She turned, three changelings flew at her and grabbed her hooves. "Ahh! Let me Go!" Twilight struggled, trying to pull away from them.
"The queen has been awaiting you." One chuckled.
"Quiet, Furball, the queen said not to say anything." Another spoke.
"Shut up! I'm in charge!" Furball answered back.
"No, I'm in charge!"
"No, I'm in charge!"
"And, I'm still here." Twilight said bluntly as they tugged at her. The changelings glanced at her.
"Shut her up." Furball said to the one who hadn't spoke. The changeling took green goop and spread it over Twilight's muzzle. At first it stung, but shortly after it started to numb her mouth.
"Mhmhmh, ugh!" Twilight said muffled. They flew down to the door of the castle, Furball stepped forward and gave a knock. The one who opened to the door was Chrysalis.
"AHH! Get it away from me!" Chrysalis screamed.
"We've brought her like you asked." Furball said.
"Yes, yes, I know come in, but make sure you keep her dirty hooves away from me." She sneered. Twilight growled at her. "So, Princess of the Light, how does it feel, knowing that you were the one who made the world go silent?"
"Princess of the Light? Silent?"
"Not silent like quiet, silent like dark, cold, miserable." Chrysalis hissed in her ear and began to circle Twilight. "Oh, didn't you know Celestia was to appoint you Princess of the Light? After Luna and she retired, oh wait, you don't! Because I KILLED her!" Rage surged through Twilight and she wanted to scream, but the goop that the changeling put across her mouth impeded her. "Now that you have killed all the princesses, or mostly all of them, you should become a queen, Queen Twilight Sparkle, the Queen of Darkness!" Twilight screamed as loud as she could, but still to no avail. Just then, Twilight felt the goop absorbed into her skin.
"YOU BE QUIET!" Twilight screamed and struggled as the changelings grip tightened.
"All hail, Twilight Sparkle, QUEEN OF DARKNESS!"
