I looked up to see that the doors were covered in some kind of green slime. 

"What is that stuff?" I asked. 

"I think it might be the work of the changeling queen." She said. 

"Her? But, I thought you guys defeated her at Candence's wedding." I said. 

"We did. But, I guess she came back. We have to find a way through this crap, or the kingdom is doomed." She said. 

"I got this." I said as I drew my sword and slashed through the slime. 

"There we go." I said. 

We pushed the door open and went inside. The halls were eerily quiet. 

"Where do you think everyone is?" I asked. 

"Knowing that bitch, she's probably got everyone cocooned somewhere." Dash said. 

We continued on into the throne room. I looked up to see two cocoons made of the same green slime. I flew up and sliced them open. The princesses fell to the ground gasping for air. 

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked as she ran over to them. 

"It's... a... trap." Celestia gasped. 

Just then, a flash of black came from behind me and sliced my side open. I fell to the ground in pain. 

"Gah!" I screamed as I looked up to see an... 'alicorn'? 

She has a twisted looking horn and torn dragonfly looking wings. She had long teal hair and was wearing a tattered black and green dress. 

"Now that I have all three Canterlot princesses, I can take over this pitiful city and no one can stop me." She said. 

"I can still stop you." I said as I tried to get up, only to be brought back to my knees. 

I was supporting myself with my sword. 

"Puh-lease. My poison is already taking effect. Soon, you won't even be able to breath. You will die a slow and painful death." She said. 

I looked over to Dash and gave her a look that said, 'Run!'. She did just the opposite. 

"Chrsyalis! You're going to die for that!" Dash said as she charged the changeling queen. 

Chrysalis caught her by the neck and threw her back across the room. She landed a few feet from me. She walked over and stuck her foot on Dash's throat then looked at me. I struggled to turn my head to look, I could feel my whole body seizing up on me. 

"How about before my poison kills you, I make you watch as I kill your beloved girlfriend." She said. 

I saw Dash cringe in pain as Chrysalis put more pressure on Dash's neck. I was helpless. All I could do was watch as she slowly crushed Dash's wind pipe. 

"Jet, help." She managed to croak out as Chrysalis kept putting more and more pressure. 

I felt my adrenaline kick in. I stood up, ignoring the pain in my side and turned to face her. She didn't even notice, she was too busy focusing on Dash. With all the strength I could muster, I raised my sword above my head. 

"Hey... bitch. I think... you need... some aspirin." I said as I brought my sword down with full force on her head. She turned just in time to see her sealed fate. As soon as the blade made contact, there was a blast of light and a shock wave that threw me into the wall. I blacked out.
