Well... shit. It's kind of disappointing that even with his extra training Shining was taken out.
Well, Prince Charming still got a princess, I wonder what Crystalist will do now or if she will even be a she...
Evil is a foot and it must be opposed... and if that is Shinning Armor, he is going to be burned and either sent to the moon or the sun.
Well I'll give Chrysalis credit, at least she didn't fuck around with Princesses this time around and just went for the main target instead.
Of course, the entire plan will still come tumbling down when two, or possibly even three alicorns start laying out a tag-team smack down on her.
Am i the only one who thought that the last part kind of implies that Crysalis, or whoever this is now, knows that this isn't strictly the first time all this happened?
4078513 It sounds like she's already replaced Shining Armor. That'll make breaching the barrier at the right time a snap if she's the one casting it in the first place.
To quote the great sage Edd "Not good! Not good! Not good!" While It seems that things may yet work out in the end the wedding's going to be a real and true test. By setting it on Cadance's busiest day of the year Chrysalis may have limited her effectiveness nearly completely. Though that has yet to be seen. For all we know some hints that something is a foot may yet be dropped as I'm sure that Discord's words haven't been forgotten.
Also I find it interesting that Celestia was having Twilight start boning up on history and politics is she still planning for Twilight to ascend? if so THAT is a major speed bump as changing someone's life like that especially after saying you'd be more honest and forward with them is a more then a bit of backsliding on old habbits.
Let's also not forget the timing of events. Twilight Backed Celestia into a corner and seemed to be getting through to her yet Luna seemed to und all of that with a few drinks. Granted Celestia not only has good reason to be wary of tangling with Twilight and Cadance she also sees far more comfortable in her shell then Twilight ever has. No one really calls her on it as her comfort zone is more subdued and less noticeable. yes people see that she's hurting herself and that she needs to open up yet no one really calls her out on it much. And why should they? The princess is overworked, she's always looking out for her people, let her be a bit subdued if she wants. after all she doesn't close herself off look how informal she tends to be!
Dragging Celestia out of her shell is going to be done with the princess of the sun kicking and screaming. She'll fight the whole way and will not only snap up any slack given but pounce on any distraction and retreat further into herself as Luna's impromptu party shows. It's going to be a bloody painful battle to get her to face up that will need to be handled with care like Fluttershy uses, and the brutal creative strategy of Hannibal himself.
On a lighter and different note, should I be concerned as to what Luna wanted from Dash and why Dash acted the way she did about it?

Well we don't know for sure it is her, another Changling swarm, a new monster or worse yet it is Shinning Armor converted into a Changling or a monster similar to them and serve a new mistress.
There is not enough data and I am more inclince to think if their is a pertender, it is someone other then Crystalst since she showed a obsession to beat Cadeance and Twilight in the show, cannon comic and early in this story.
Dear me. The plot certainly does seem to be thickening!
Ohhh, now things are getting really interesting!
Celestia better learn to stop worrying and love the purple ponie(s)!
4078615 The start of this whole fanfic was Chrysalis going back in time to break up Shining and Cadance. She knows.
Looks like somepony has foreknowledge that she's not supposed to have.
Then again, we're already gonna be deep into paradox territory since if, by the end of this, Chysalis doesn't feel like she needs to break up Cadance & Shining then she'd have no reason to go back and mess with their early relationship, thereby negating the starting point, and creating an unstable paradox ... this is why time travel gets weird.
My sides!

The way I see it, this is actually at a point in time after Shining and Cadences wedding in the main timeline. Thus Chrysalis has returned from the past and has assessed what has changed and formed a new plan. As such she would have complete knowledge of the main timeline.
Well, this chapter pretty much killed my idea for Rarity and Celestia getting together. I feel really bad for Rarity now. She's going to be heartbroken when she finds out Celestia is just leading her on, or just wants her body or whatever. Poor Rarity!
4079573
Except that we know that it's actually a bit earlier than that point in the timeline since it's right after Flim & Flam yet just before Hearts & Hooves day placing it just a bit past halfway through the events of Season 2. So Chyrsalis wouldn't have returned from her spell until after the season 2 finale.
We also know that this story doesn't follow the same rules of time travel as the show anyway though, since the show seems to take the "everything you've done you will and will always do, screw free will, you can't change shit" view of time travel since that is the only way that Twilight could have caused her own need to time travel, by time traveling.
4079667
Assuming, of course, that the spell worked as designed....
*coughs*
4079694
Yeah, I added a bit onto my previous comment that covered how the spell seems to work in the show.
The way you seem to have time travel working in your story seems to be more in line with the multiverse theory of time travel, meaning that when time travel happens it effectively splits the universe off on 2 different branches, one remaining unchanged and the other moving on with the changes. The really neat thing with this theory is that, in this way time travel can never create a paradox, because the time traveler would return to their unchanged universe. So Chrysalis would have returned to her defeated hive in the exact same continuity that she had just left, probably quite mad that all that energy had been expended for no benefit to her.
I really hope it was the real SHining Armor that asked Luna to marry him. That would suck if after things are fixed that he didn't wanna get married at all. It would explain this time around why he never told Twilight.
Oh Snap! She can remember!
Title drop.
Nice chapter. I look forward to more!
4079667 Aw shoot, you're right, okay my bad. In that case Chrysalis really shouldn't know about the main timeline yet, unless she left a message for herself when she travelled back or something.
GodDAMNIT, Luna!
That ending! What a twist!
I loved Luna this whole chapter. She truly is best princess.
I want more scenes of Applejack and Fluttershy. I find that pairing so damn cute!
I really, really want to know what Luna whispered into Rainbow's ear...
Replacing Shining Armor is certainly a brilliant move. Not only will she control the city's defenses, but she will have placed the Guard under her control. That gives her not only an army of changelings but an army of, well, the army!
4079573
I know, right? Rarity would be heart broken if she was just being used as a Twilight replacement...
4079785
That would make life super awkward in the aftermath of the battle, wouldn't it?

The time traveling spell was designed by Starswirl. Now, season 4 of the show has told us that there is unicorn magic and alicorn magic. What hasn't been laid out for us is what kind of magic changelings use. One can only assume that changeling magic is unlike both unicorn and alicorn magic.
Since Starswirl was a unicorn his spell would have been designed for unicorn magic. There is always the chance that casting his spell with another type of magic would alter how it works. I can only assume that powering the spell with changeling magic had some odd effects.
Either Chrysalis was left inside the altered timeline or knowledge from the Chrysalis who cast the spell was copied over to the Chyrsalis of this altered timeline. If Chrysalis was left inside the altered timeline...there could very well be two Chrysalis' now...
Oh, I noticed something kinda odd:
Weren't they in Twilight's library in Ponyville?
And finally!
Where's
SpikeOwlicious?Hmmm. interesting. I have to wonder if you got the idea from the colt version of This Day Aria, or if it was something you came up with on your own completely and it is just a coincidence. Those do happen a lot with fandoms legitimately.
Honestly.... I love Princess Luna... But she had to pick the worst time for this!!! I was all ready for a heart to heart between Princess Celestia and Twilight...
Oh well, I suppose it is as you have mentioned before, things are working into a similar fashion despite the interference. I look forward to the next chapter, and I hope that when the time comes, because it is obviously going to happen, that at least Cadence doesn't turn her back on Twilight like the others.
4082081 Celestia: Rarity darling, how would you feel about dying your coat purple?...
Yeah, that'd go over real well, poor Rarity.
4083982
Don't worry my friend. Rarity won't be left in the lurch at the end of all this.
4084186 Well I certainly hope not, the last thing she'd want is be White Twilight.
That was great So Chrysalis is making her move, dun dun duh What are they going to do about Twilight, Clestia, and Cadence. Also when will Twi and Cadence get the Crystal Kingdom I hope Celestia can open her heart and I want to see Celestia and Rarity be together and happy I WANT MOAR SOON If that is alright with you
Ah. For a second there I thought the real Shining proposed...
This is a huge relief.
There's still hope for Twilunestiance...

You get a huge thumbs up good sir. I agree so much with that shipping.
I haven't laughed this much at a fanfic since Dark Wanderings. I don't know if your Luna is in character, but she is a joy to read.
DRUNK LUNA
PRICELESS!
When the hell did they get to Canterlot? I thought they were in the Ponyville library...
I am guessing Chrysalis has some memory of what she had done to Shining and Cadance.
Drunk Luna is best Luna that entire scene and every word she spoke was freaking hilarious especially her first line I lmao so hard I love your take on Luna!
Applejack and Fluttershy are adorable together!
Gonna drop this. Im not fond of open, loose relationships.

... and it took you this long to realize this fic wasn't for you?
So this time she took the place OF Shining Armor. Interesting.
Princess Luna when drunk is the Best Princess. Ever!
