April Fool's Day Chapter- A Fitting End

A Fitting End - April Fool's Chapter

___________________________________________________________

Chrysalis sighed as she rested into the silken cushions of her carriage as they neared their destination.

She was still puzzled as to why her daughter had chosen to settle in Ponyville; maybe it was the gaudy castle that once belonged to Princess Twilight Sparkle. Her daughter always did have an odd sense of taste.

As they passed through the edges of the forest, she looked up, smiling at the night sky her daughter had crafted so well.

“Look out there, pet,” she jeered, pointing a hoof to the heavens. “Does my daughter’s night not look magnificent?”

There was no reply, to which the changeling just smiled coldly. Good. Maybe she was finally learning; pets do not speak.

When the carriage stopped outside the crystalline Tree Castle, Chrysalis stepped out and nodded at the two dark changeling guards disguised as blue-coated thestrals.

There was another of her daughter’s quirks, always having her gauds look like ponies, but it was a minor issue, especially as, even she could admit, the thestrals were the most terrifying a pony could ever look.

The two guards nodded back, stepping aside and opening the doors with their magic to allow her passage.

As she walked in, Chrysalis couldn’t help smiling as her daughter walked up to her, wearing a form the changeling Queen knew well.

The two touched horns, before Night Shine smiled at her the larger changeling. “How was your trip, mother?”

“Save the odd little rabble of those Resistance ponies, nothing,” Chrysalis smirked, saying "resistance" mockingly, before noticing the figure behind her daughter. “Oh, and how is your pet doing these days?”

Night Shine cackled, before lighting her horn, yanking the collar of the mare hiding behind her.

The lavender mare struggled not to tumble over, before stopping in front of the Changeling Queen, keeping her head bowed, looking at the floor.

Chrysalis still couldn’t believe how easy it had been. Once her daughter was strong enough, they’d gone out, searching for a small settlement.

They lucked out, finding one where the unicorn leader there had removed all the Cutie Marks of the villagers, whilst pretending to not still have her own.

It had been an easy matter, disguised as a unicorn and her foal, to lull the foolish unicorn into letting them stay, before taking over the whole town (though after returning the Cutie Marks just before podding, ponies were worthless without their marks unless Blank Flanks) and using it as a base to grow their army.

What fun it had been when Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friend had come, not expecting to find her and her daughter there. True, those yellow and pink ones had gotten away and were now with the Resistance, but it wasn’t like they would be much of a threat.

Twilight Sparkle didn’t even look up. Her horn and wings were coated in a green gel, preventing her from using her magic or flying unless deemed allowed by Night Shine.

It was the same with Celestia and Luna, who both stood behind Chrysalis, their heads bowed, though looking sadly at Twilight, as if asking for forgiveness for failing her.

“Any change with the Crystal Empire?” Chrysalis asked as they headed for the throne room.

Night Shine gave a cruel smile. “Why, yes indeed, mother. Though we have been unable to take control of the Empire, we have won one battle. You will be pleased with the spoils.”

As they entered the throne room, a wicked smile spread of Chrysalis’ face as she saw to what her daughter was referring.

Sitting in the middle of the throne room, held in a conversion pod, was a little Alicorn with large wings.

“When Flurry Heart here awakens as a changeling, it will be merely a matter of time before the Empire falls and we will have rule over all of Equestria,” Night Shine said, putting a hoof on the pod, before cackling.

Chrysalis nodded, before glancing out the window. “Thank you, Shining Armour. In giving me my daughter, you doomed your kind.”

She joined her daughter in cackling, savouring the joy of the thought that Equestria would soon be fully under her rule.

I liked the chapter and I expect it to be a joke, however I still hope it was worth the time and it isn´t a joke chapter.

[Frostgear]

Shining Armor x Chrysalis ships for the win.

[Frankie2]

-.-
I actually read stories that I favored, the story was finished, great the way it was, then the author decided to write that one more chapter that I hated so much, I took away my favorite. I was so close to doing the same to this story. Please write what really happened.

[erias velam]

pues parece desde 1 año sin actualizarla esta historia se puede dar por finalizada xP

[Blow Grenade]

And last it was worth it to read that cool story.

[DragonKiller345]

I really hope you continue the story

"but apparently comedy tag and sad tag can't be together for whatever reason"

Which is weird because comedy and tragedy can, and tragedy and sad are the same thing.
