Queen Chrysalis stomps down a hoof, “Who are you?”
Slender closes the door to the throne room behind him, “Slenderman. You’ve attacked the innocent town of Canterlot, Queen Chrysalis, including the Elements of Harmony, and chief among them being Applejack. For that, I shall defeat you, and banish you from this land.”
She looks at him a second more, before breaking out into laughter, “You think you can defeat me? I am Queen Chrysalis of the Green Hive, and you believe you can defeat me? You shall pay for your insolence.” She glares at him, “I shall steal the love from inside of you and reduce you to Mana with a single blast!” She opens her mouth, and begins to suck energy from Slender.
Slender stands there, allowing the energy to leave him, “You need my magic in order to fight for yourself? Very well, take it.”
Chrysalis takes the last of the love energy from Slender’s body. She laughs, and readies a blast. It charges itself, casting the room in a green light. The beam is clearly more powerful than anything an alicorn would regularly be able to summon up.
She launches the beam at him, giving it almost all of her magic.
Slender reacts quickly. He surrounds his hands and tendrils with Sigma Radiation, and puts them forward to block the attack.
It rams into him at full speed, the force strong enough to push his feet through the marble floor. He keeps strong though, not letting the beam hit him even as he is slowly shoved backwards.
He takes a few steps forward, forcing the beam back. With a final exertion of power, he overloads his hands with Sigma, and breaks the magic.
It sizzles out, leaving a dark cloud of smoke over Slender.
Chrysalis squints her eyes, seeing if anything still exists in the cloud of smoke.
A leg comes out of it, and Slender steps clear of it. He observes Chrysalis, “You fear me.”
Chrysalis’s eyes widen, “You survived that?! How!?”
Slender walks closer to her, “That love you stole from me, I think I will take it back now.”
She also walks closer to him, “Answer me, creature!”
He shrugs, “Wouldn’t have time to explain. Seems you fell for the distraction.”
Chrysalis absorbs his words, and turns back to where the ponies were supposed to be. She sees Cadence and Shining Armor standing together. She charges them, “No!”
Slender wraps his tendrils around her, “Goodbye.”
He throws her out the window, and the two’s horns connect.
A shockwave picks up her and every other changeling in the city, sending them flying into the distance.
Slender nods, and turns to face the Princesses. He is about to speak, but sees Celestia pointing her horn at him.
Celestia narrows her eyes, “Why did you do that? Why did you help us?!”
He puts his hands up, “Celestia, I’ve always wanted to help.”
Twilight jumps between the two, “Princess, please, there’s no need to resort to violence! I’m sure we can have a chat like civilized ponies and, uh... whatever he is.”
Celestia looks at Twilight, and relents, “There had better be tea.”
What, no cake?

One reason why cake wasn't mentioned could be that tea is her stress relief drink and sense she still considers slender an enemy and cake is basically her kryptonite and she doesn't want to show weakness to him.
Also good chapter if short.
