Wow that's not the right way to deal with Chryssie. She's a 'I'll show them all!' type villain with added racism.
"Aurora’s chitten was a smooth teal"
Is it not chitin?
Interesting little add on
4562276
Thanks for the catch
Accelerating plans ahead of schedule tends to leave a lot of mistakes Chrysalis.
wow either a bad way to handle it or she's purposely aiming to get her sister killed. wonder if she wants her land or something.
with crysallis you should proable keep an eye on her in a locked room/cell
4562381
Whoops... one moment
Does a little whiny cockroach need a giant boot to come and squash it? I can oblige you, Chrysalis.
All in all, good work. I look forwards to more in the future.
I am sensing a parallel between Aurora/Chrysalis and Celestia/Luna...
I'll just go ahead and prepare a coffin for Chrysalis.
Does Aurora have holes in her or just Chrysalis and her hive??? Oh, and if Reflection is Fleur De Lis I really don't want to see her die... the alternative is she might even be Fluttershy... but if that is the case I would hope her Element of Harmony would protect her... oh wait... did any Elements besides Magic and Loyalty get given out
4562371 And this is bad why???
Great chapter, neat to see some inter-hive conflict there. That being said, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for poor Chryssie whenever she loses in a fic! Don't ask me why. Hope to see more soon!
Naw man, the shortness is preferred here. Chapters like this really shouldn't be longer than 3,000 words. At any rate, I enjoyed this glimpse into changeling society. Your approach to the species is phenomenal; you basically took the social structure of ants or bees, and added much more depth to it. It seems like changeling society is incredibly interesting. Maybe a deeper glance into it would be a good side arc. I dunno, that's just me. Anyways, Chrysalis's conversation with her sister was done really well. I like how you went with Chrysalis acting like the younger child who never got any attention. It would explain why she's so eager to make her mark on the world. Aurora seems like an interesting character, except I don't really understand your name choice for her. It doesn't really fit well, and kind of reminds me of a bad Alicorn OC. Her character, though, is really interesting. She has this enigmatic personality that makes me want to get to know her more. Solid side chapter. All in all, this chapter gets a Busy Bee/10.
4562779
Well, I like to think of the changelings like the White Court, to a certain extent anyways. So... who is currently in charge of the White Court who's name kind of sounds like Aurora?
edit: Ignore the deleted comment, stupid double post
4562797
If you're referring to the Dresden Files, then Cesarina Malvora. I can see the resemblance.
Chrysalis is far too full of herself. Aurora's meaning came through pretty clear. If any hive breaks the treaty, that hive shall be put to death not just by Equestria, but the other hives as well. And Chrysalis still seeks to go forward with her foolish notion?
Also who is this dragon prince?
4562841
Laura Raith actually, didn't Malvora get axed?
4562855
And yes, that was the message, and the Prince is Spike.
4562862
Oh yeah. I'm so used to Spike being Twilight's assistant/little brother my thoughts on him default to that. Forgot how different some things are here.
And yet again, Chrysalis seems hell bent on going forward with her plan despite the warning. That does not suggest a sound and stable mind. Narcissism and self-delusional about her greatness.
I bet with having Nim inside her, Sarah will have access to magic. This is going to be real interesting.
4562371 Particularly a Double barrel to the face.
dat cover art doe...
1: WHERE IS SPENCER AND FAWKES?
2: So Sarah is just pecoming cartoonish? I was thinking something a little more drastic. Elf ears can be passed off as a mutation, and Cat Eyes is a drug in new vegas. I was thinking that maybe her hair would change color (sparkly with stars maybe :D) or fangs/claws. The reaction of Lyons Pride of having a mutant cat magic warrior in their ranks would be priceless.
I still think Chrysalis should pay more attention to information gathering. There is huge weak point in her plan and it's name is "Nim".
I hope Nim can get a body of her own soon.
4565273
Well, that's your choice and you're completely allowed to do that. I would however like to point out that my Celestia is hardly the most powerful on the site. Anyways, sorry I couldn't keep you interested, see you later.
4566027 in the show Celestia was overpowered by Chrysalis, and as a result was captured, here she curb stomped Chrysalis with power so great that her and the entire changeling army never even put up a fight, and instead were summarily crushed before doing any damage whatsoever. A force a thousands of changelings strong, lead by someone able to beat canon Celestia 1 on 1 didn't stand a bloody chance against this Celestia. Canon Celestia is not even comparable to this one in terms of power, and with Tirek already dead I don't think any canon character but Discord could even slow this one down now.
4565416 Rereading my comment I realise I may have come across as more rude then intended, and would like to apologise for that. I think the reason the way this started made me so upset was that it looked like you were introducing Chrysalis as a potential threat on the same level as Celestia, solving the main worry I had about this sequel going in, only to reveal that it was just Celestia playing possum to draw her into a trap. Also as I have said a few times on this site already, you don't get mad at a story you don't care about, I didn't just like the first story, I loved it, easily in my top 20 stories on this site to date, and I REALLY would love to follow the story of Luna and Sarah through to the end, but Celestia being so powerful that she doesn't seem to be in any danger from some of the most powerful characters the show has to throw at her without a mcguffin to suddenly bring her to a dead stop, just makes it feel like I would need to be slogging through that in order to reach the parts I care about. In short I really want to like this story and will likely give it another chance at some point but that was kind of disappointing after the incredible action scenes in the last story where every enemy Sarah and Luna went up against felt like a possible threat.
4567197
Actually if the whole might of the Hive had gotten through the fields then they would have overpowered her with pure numbers alone, especially considering that she wasn't wearing any armor or had a sword. Additionally, it wasn't Celestia who destroyed them all, or trapped them. That was the Guard.
But I do understand your qualms, in my opinion, Celestia is like Superman, it's not the fight itself that's the important thing, its what and who they're fighting for. Of course, I know that there are a lot of people who think that Superman sucks, or that Batman is better (is Luna batman in this case perhaps, not actually sure) because he's a normal guy... well normal to a certain extent anyways.
Anyways, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it and it pains me to read someone who ranks WM as one of their top favorites but it's up to you. Hope you change your mind at some point and no hard feelings in the meantime.
4563512 no followers in the pitt that something you have to fight alone
4568340 I know, I've played it before, I just really want to know what became of them.
4567663 Ok, from my reading of the battle it had seemed like the shields that had trapped the changelings had been created by Celestia. While it is clear that she is not the one zapping the trapped bugs the way the scene is described made it sound like she had raised the barriers even as she proceeded to defeat Chrysalis, the fact that this is not what happened makes this FAR less over powered then I had taken her to be (if what I thought had just happened was right there would be no need for an army, she had that job covered.) This changes the scene to Celestia being more powerful than Chrysalis and having the knowledge provided by Luna / the ruthlessness to use it, from Celestia being completely god mode. I am really glad that this has been clarified, it was the main problem I had with the story and was coming from me misreading the scene. I mean the Celestia is still really powerful, but not to the almost absurd level it had appeared to be to me in my first reading.
Although I have to ask, what good would a sword do someone able to just tear the flagstone from the floor out and bash you to bits with it at high speeds using telekinesis (or grab you and throw you into it, she doesn't need to be picky)? Would seem that weapons like that would only be superior to blunt trauma against targets that are large enough not simply be broken by such an impact, AND armoured enough to not have a limb crippled from the trauma such an impact would cause. This is just something I have wondered about in a great many stories and have never bothered to ask anyone else if they had any ideas to explain that, or if it is just running on rule of cool. (not that there is anything wrong with running on rule of cool, I mean this is a Fallout story, rule of cool is the natural state of the games, with realism being a precious commodity. )
4562371
I personally hope that when chrysalis will summon them to equestria nim is going to do this

Except it's going to be Nightmare Moon not David Bowie
4568867
So am I back in your good graces now?
As for swords, in my opinion they're needed to cut through protective enchantments and shields. As in 'throw a flagstone at someone' is stopped because the enchantments around the person decreases the speed of something and then blocks the kinetic energy behind it and sends it falling to the ground. Now, you could enchant the cobble stones to do the same as you could with the sword, but you would have to deal with the cobble stone being obliterated by the speed/power. So you'd have to make a BUNCH of them enchanted that way. Where as with a well made enchanted sword you don't have to worry about it breaking because the enchantments strengthen it. There's also the fact that in my mind, metal is easier to enchant with battle spells then stone would be. Of course, that means that you can enchant any metal object with a spell but swords work best because sometimes pure kinetic energy can't crack/burst the skulls of your opponent.
Anyways, hope you've read on and are enjoying the story.
We don't think her wings are incandescent, that means they produce light by heating up, but rather iridescent....
4567197 The problem I see with your issue on canon Sunbutt's power is that so far we haven't really seen what kind of power she actually can wield. We know that her and Luna beat Sombra, but we don't know how or what they did to do it. We know they were able to fight against Discord, but the only canon confrontation we have seen from that era was the one time when they cheap shot him with the Elements of WEWIN. Barring that, all the show has ever given us is that one scene with the Bug Queen. And in all honesty there is so very much wrong with that episode that the best actual explanation for all of it is:
"There are no actual changlings. Chrysalis was really Luna in disguise having learned about a way to drain love from a pony to further fuel her own magic. The 'army of drones' are really Luna's thestrals in disguise. The Elements of PLOTDEVICE really didn't turn her good, merely stripped her of her dark powers. (Which she herself does admit in the Nightmare Night episode) She has been biding her time, waiting for the right moment to strike. The entire thing was a test. Luna wanted to both test the new spells for her 'changling army' and see how effective her new ability to drain love really is. And best of all, she proved it worked with nobody the wiser about any of it. After all, we do know Luna is a shapeshifter, and neither her nor Fake Cadence/Chrysalis were ever seen on screen at the same time..."
I kid you not when you break it down that explanation makes more actual sense than the canon truth. I feel that the Canterlot Wedding episode doesn't really offer a real look at how powerful Sunbutt is supposed to be. After all, she moves the freaking SUN. If she really wanted to just end the fight, why not just crush Chrysalis like the bug she is? Or TK snap her neck? Or cast any number of what has to be countless battle spells that the leader of the army and protector of a kingdom for 1000+ years has to have mastered? Instead all we get is a single magic beam, which she doesn't really look like she is trying that hard with. Where as with Chrysalis, you can tell she is putting her all into, and after it's over, even Chrysalis herself is freaking shocked for a moment that she won. It would be as if John Normalguy Smith armed with a bat were to fight Bruce Lee in his prime. If Bruce throws a half assed punch and John swings that bat for all he is worth, John has got MUCH better chance at winning that fight. Does this make John Normalguy Smith a better fighter/stronger than Bruce Lee? No. It means Mr Lee screwed up badly and under estimated his foe, getting smacked down for it.
Now, going back to both this story, and the previous, is Wandering Moon Celestia stronger than Canon Sunbutt? I have no freaking idea. And honestly neither does anyone outside of the MLP staff. Why? Because all that can really be said is that this Celestia ACTUALLY DOES THINGS. Sunbutt has yet to be seen really demonstrating the extent of her power. Her only other canon fight we have seen was a VERY UNDERWHELMING battle with Nightmare Moon. And that fight again shows Sunbutt as not really trying/not wanting to harm Luna. Where as Nightmare is clearly going for the throat and blasts Sunbutt for all she is worth. Sunbutt, realizing that Nightmare is most certainly trying to kill her, decides it's time to cheat, and grabs the Elements of TASTETHERAINBOWMOTHERFCKER and one shots Nightmare Moon. Does this mean Sunbutt is stronger than Nightmare Moon? No it means that anybody can win when they turn on the right cheat codes. This still leaves us with no real estimate of what Sunbutt is capable of, especially if she actually pushes herself. Where as Wandering Moon Celestia has simply shown that when pushed she absolutely WILL NOT push back. She will just END YOU. No honorable duel where she uses only the same level of power as her foe. No restraining herself least she terrify her precious little ponies. No holding back for any reason. She goes all out and reminds everypony that A Goddess Am I. She even tells her own forces to stay WELL THE FCK AWAY least they get nuked in the splash damage.
This leaves again only one absolute conclusion. Canon Sunbutt holds back, for reasons she has never chosen to reveal, where as WM Celestia has never held back, pretty much ever. There is no way to compare their respective ability because one party has chosen to never reveal it. Why? Probably because its a children's TV show, and thusly it's for the sake of drama/because you can't show that level of violence on MLP. Though the later is probably over given what happens in 'Twlight's Kingdom'.
Speaking of the season 4 finale, it does offer a tiny bit of insight though. Twilight had the power of all 4 alicorns combine. Tirek had the power of every other pony in the entire kingdom, AND Discord. And the best he was able to do was fight Twilight to a standstill, needing to use his 'bargaining chip' to beat her. If you assume that each alicorn is about the same power, then that is a down right scary level of power. If you assume, as I do, that the breakdown is Sunbutt > Luna > Cadence/Twilight (these two are likely equal in power, but Twilight is still growing stronger) then Sunbutt's potential power is very likely on par with WM Celestia.
Another well done chapter, seems someone is a little pissy
Chrysalis XD
Good show!
4592441 But everyone knows that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas.
Or rather, a miasma of incandescent plasma.
4654501 I honestly think Celestia is a genocidal, murderous fiend in this series. I hate Celestia in every single way. No one threatens to and has committed ultimate mass genocide or murder of innocents and can be called nice.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
