It was a gloomy day on Canterlot, the pitter-patter of the rain against the windows resonating through the vast halls of canterlot castle, Princess Celestia was ready to adjourn day court due to this fact, however, things aren't always as planned. The great doors of the court banged open when a breathless guard enters into the room, startling some of the remaining ponies in it.
“Princess Celestia!... Princess Celestia, we have an emergency!” The guard yells, looking frantically towards the throne, while Celestia looks back, a bewildered expression on the monarch’s face.
“Calm down my little pony” the sun princess began, “now, please tell me what is happening?”
“The changelings are back your majesty, there are actually in the front gate.”
“Care to repeat that one for me, guard?” the princess manages to say after the stunning silence that befalls the throne room.
“The changelings are in the main gates of canterlot, and they are badly injured and asking for one of the princess to hear their pleas.” the guard repeats, looking forward to her monarch, only to widen his eyes when the pacific sun princess teleports a set of golden armor and a giant claymore, donning the armor and strapping the huge sword squarely on her back, Celestia took a deep breath, before looking at the guard, her eyes now emotionless.
“Take me to the doors, now” the solar diarch says, beginning to stride to the main doors of Canterlot along the guard, a quick command after, and now six more guards are with her and the scout. When she approaches the main door however, the scene that was there makes the alicorn to stop and gasp, covering her mouth with a golden armored hoof.
The changelings were huddled on one side of the main street, however, they were only twenty or so, all looking warily to the ponies that were in the streets in spite of the bad climate, all the changelings were huddling together, as if they were hiding something from the view, but when the solar princess approaches, some of the ponies began to insult and yell at the huddle group of insect-pony hybrids.
“Insects!”
“Murderers!”
“Bugs!”
“SILENCE!” Celestia exclaims, all the ponies gaping at the sudden appearance of the monarch cladded in combat gear, “now, all of you, please leave us and the royal guard to check this…”
“That wouldn't be necessary, your highness…” a raspy voice says within all the conglomerated changelings “I ordered the remaining loyal changelings to come with me... to formally surrender to you...” the changelings part away, revealing a tall changeling female looking to Celestia.
“Chrysalis” the solar monarch says, an eyebrow raising
The changeling queen was badly injured, as almost all her entourage, her chitin weak and cracked, some dirty bandages in her body and one of the forelegs in a improvised cast, however the thing that impress Celestia the most was the former queen's eyes, now almost lifeless and glassy.
“Please, help us…” was the only thing the queen could say, before fainting on the spot.
PONYVILLE
Twilight Sparkle, new princess in the realm of Equestria, was having a little tea in her new castle with all her friends, looking through the windows to the nasty weather that was in the capitol
“Hey egghead” Rainbow Dash says, waving a hoof in front of the librarian “something on your mind?”
A little startled, the princess of friendship recoils, looking to the rose eyes of one of her best friends in the wide world
“Sorry RD, I guess the weather puts me down a little, but I am fine…” the purple princess says, looking past the daredevil to see all her other friends in the main hall of the castle of harmony, Applejack and Rarity both were arguing about something, Spike the dragon hovering near the white unicorn with little hearts on his eyes, Fluttershy was half hidden in the couch, Discord floating above it and laughing hard on the shy pegasus discomfort, and Pinkie… well she was on the floor, looking forwards Canterlot when suddenly she began to vibrate on place.
“Wowie Zowie, that was a doozy” the pink mare says, snorting and laughing, “but i feel it is a good doozy.” Before Twilight could ask, however, a loud burping sound diverts her attention to her number one assistant, who is picking up a letter from Princess Celestia, however, this letter has an official ribbon, meaning that is one directed to Princess Twilight Sparkle.
Dear Princess Twilight
this missive is for requesting your presence and the elements of harmony in Canterlot post haste, The queen of the Changelings, Chrysalis, has requested asylum and political aid for her race, also this scroll has an advanced teleporting rune etched on the back, whenever you could gather your friends, fuel the spell and you will be with us in canterlot, also Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shining Armor are requested to testify and bring justice upon the former Queen of the Changelings.
“Oh boy… THAT was the doozy” Pinkie Pie chirped in, however, all the other ponies were looking at the princess of friendship, which gaze was obscured by the parchment and her own mane, after a while, she puts the scroll face down on the crystal floor, and taking a deep breath, proceeds to scream.
“You done?” Rainbow asks after a while, looking boredly to the princess of friendship.
“Yes, thanks, now i need all the girls close so we can go to Canterlot to see what this queen has to say for herself” Twilight says with a little manic grin on her face.
“Wha’ do you mean come closer?” Applejack says, only for Pinkie Pie to hug all her friends and give to Twilight an affirmative nod, igniting her horn all the mane 6 were gone.
CANTERLOT, MEDICAL WING, CASTLE CANTERLOT
Celestia was pacing back and forth through the corridor, once the changeling queen has fainted, all the other mimickers stopped altogether and simply slumped down on the street, looking forwards without seeing, the best doctors available in the moment where in the other room, looking the changeling queen with the supervision of two royal guards.
“Chrysalis” the alabaster alicorn mutters, looking to the door, suddenly a gallop in the corridor distracts the monarch and lifting up her gaze, she sees Twilight and Co. Their Rainbow Power ready and all of them glowing.
“Princess, we have received your letter, where is the changeling queen so we can finish this business?” Twilight says, looking determined
“Princess Twilight Sparkle!” Celestia admonishes, making the purple alicorn to flinch and lose the concentration needed to maintain the power boost, “never, EVER let your emotion dictate your actions, Chrysalis is in the medical wing of the castle, severely injured and she asked for help, now WE are going to wait so we can hear her and look what can we do, is that clear?”
