Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 2
By TDR
A Claw-terlot Wedding,
Part 1, Part FOOOOOUR!!!
A golf ball sails past.
[Canterlot, Cadence's Love Lab, with new and improved secret tunnel access]
“ Why did you bring them here?” 'Cadence' sighed. “The princesses know about this place.”
“Sorry my queen but we needed to get them into the tunnels some how and they are not being cooperative.” Pharynx sighed looking over at the bound mares and fillies.
All of the captured ponies had been coated in green goop and left hanging upside down, stuck to the rooms rafters. Surrounding them all and filling the room were black carapace covered pony like creatures. They had bug like features and odd holes in various parts of their bodies, mostly their legs wings and heads. All of them also had varying green coloration and pronounced fangs.
Fluttershy was the least bound, her long pink hair nearly brushing the floor as she commented softly to one of the changelings near her about how this felt like one of her butterfly friends in a cocoon.
The three fillies were terrified, Though they weren't bound that tightly either.
Rainbow Dash and Rarity were tightly bound with several layers of goop. They were both also gagged as Dash wouldn't stop making threats and Rarity wouldn't stop telling any of them that would listen exactly what she was going to do to them, in a detail that would put horror writers to shame, if this didn't come out of her coat and mane.
Pinkie Pie however wasn't hanging from the rafters. The massive ball she had been trapped in was too heavy to lift like that and it barely fit through the doors into the room. A group of changelings was already making the new secret tunnel wider to allow it down the tunnel, and a half dozen more were around the ball ready to re goop it if any cracks formed.
The straight haired mare only glared at one of the changeling officers with murder in her eyes.
“It will only take a moment my queen.” the Changeling officer said glaring back at Pinkie Pie. “There are twenty drones that won't be able to make it to the fight because of this one.”
“The goal was to take them unharmed so those losses were acceptable.” Cadence stated.
“Are you sure we can't half drown this one?” The officer snarled, jabbing Pinkie's ball with a hoof. “ she took out my whole clutch....”
“No.” Cadence ordered.
“Feh.” The officer snorted getting closer to the bound mares head, returning her growl. “You hear that worm , you should count yourself lucky the queen is generous enough to spare you from.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH “ the officer shouted as Pinkie Pie opened her mouth, and bit down hard on the changelings nose.
“GIT IT OFF!!! GIT IT OFF!!” The officer screamed flailing.
Cadence rolled her eyes, her magic gripping Pinkie's mouth and forcing it open to let the officer go.
“Bind her mouth too.” Cadence ordered with a growl. “ Honestly this is a ham hooved approach I would rather have avoided. Can you all stop cursing at me long enough to listen a moment, the foals are better behaved.”
“Oh, but well, you did foal nap us so … I can understand why they're upset.” Fluttershy stated being the only one aside from the fillies who wasn't gagged.
Cadence looked at Fluttershy as all the others eyes turned to Cadence.
“Okay you have a point, still just remain calm and you'll all be released unharmed after the wedding is over. I have no business with any of you, and if not for the interference of Celestia you wouldn't even be here. Fear is a lousy meal.” Cadence stated urging a drone over to her. “Here.”
The drone held up a wooden box, showing that it held Rainbow Dash's and Pinkie Pie's Element of harmony. Cadence's horn flared and the box closed and sealed in green magic before quickly getting wrapped in green goop and stuck in the corner of the room before being glued there.
“You can come and get your Elements back when this is over, far be it for me to steal something that defeated Discord.” Cadence growled. “ the spell and resin will dissolve in about forty eight hours.”
“My Queen should we be letting them know where those are?” Pharynx questioned. ' It seems rather dangerous.”
“They only work for the chosen wielders and while I don't want to know what they might do to us, they have three of six and once we're done they can go back to being the first line of defense against what ever other threat comes about. Saves me from wasting energy on who ever else Celestia slept with coming back for revenge.” Cadence growled. “ Where are the other farmers?”
“Twilight Sparkle hasn't left her side nor her large brothers since you ran her off. “ Another Changeling reported. “However Twilight is stuck in some sort of logic loop as predicted and is venting to those two as they work. She starts whining on 'how could Cadence be mad at her', before doubling back into 'angry that Cadence was going to inter fear with her friends date'. It's rather interesting, that mare has issues.”
“Good. Keep an eye out for an opportunity to snag the other ones, and make sure this lot are all in separate sections of the mines. I want a squad each watching them.” Cadence stated. “ Where are the other Sparkles?”
“Rahs is still in the hotel room though it seems he is getting ready to leave and Spike is currently playing tour guide around Canterlot for our spies. He was also acting threatening to the proprietor of a doughnut shop for some reason.”
“One of ours?” Cadence asked.
“No, Unicorn. But he's accusing him of being something with a description close to us, a pod pony or what not. It's been odd. The whole family is weird.”
“Keep Spike occupied and keep Rahs away from both of them.” Cadence ordered.
“My queen shouldn't we simply capture them all and be done with it?” Pharynx asked.
“No ling is to touch any of the Sparkles.” Cadence growled as she watched the other Element's of Harmony be carried into the secret tunnel and in Pinkie's case, carefully rolled.” It's bad enough they are even here in Canterlot now and that we are capturing their friends is even worse. I do not want any of them to decide we are a target. So long as we have their friends we should be able to negotiate if we are found out. But if we take one of them the other two will track us down and destroy us.”
“I doubt they can do that....” another changeling stated.
“The Mare used a full grown dragon as a weed wacker to cut a swathe through and old growth forest. The Moon Dog is a relative unknown that fought a Chaos god by himself to a stand still, we are supremely lucky he is sick. The Dragon is a dragon and was responsible for key moments that lead to the defeat of Nightmare Moon and Discord, not to mention he has twice in his life grown to the size of the Dragon Lord in a instant and is the son of Bleu, if we mess with him she might decide to do something. I do not even want them to know of our existence, if we get one, the other two will be after us, if we get all three we will be sitting on a bomb that will explode at the worst time. That I am forced to deal with her brother is bad enough. One more day and this should be over, I don't need any surprises this late in the plan.”
“Of course my queen.”
... Chrysalis is actually competent at this point, I'm ALLMOST rooting that she succeeds at her plan.
Oh update, no notice.
At least THIS Chrissy KNOWS just how bad they bucked up and how close doom is
Edit, oh there it is

Same here. I'm rather curious to see how her plan differs from the one in the show. She's already stated that the Element Bearers she's captured will be let go after the wedding and that their Elements will be returned/made available to them. I'd guess that "taking over Equestria and turning every pony into virtual livestock" isn't the plan here.
9597449
No because that was a damn stupid plan. Almost as stupid as the real plan......
Well! At least she wise enough to know that you do NOT mess with the Sparkle family.
Why I have a feeling that this is a plan for them to get something and then gone the next? Instead of staying and ruling? Now the situation turns into a very interesting and unique one.
Chrysalis is really competent in this story. At the normal time, I bet she would get along with our psychotic librarian planning something on daily basis. However, why did she sound like she was not 100% willing to do this whatever plan?
I only wonder if there could be a problem with the changelings wearing the elements as they are not the bearers
If I didn't know any better, I would say that she is concern about the ponies.
I think I can hear a small amount of guilt in her voice.
Sounds like Chryssie's goal this time around is completely different from her cannon counterpart
9597456
I'm just going to take a wild shot in the dark here about what her plan is. If I get it right, I'm going to be amazed.
She's not planning on marrying Shining in order to technically become a part of Equestrian Royalty, is she?
This will either end horribly for them or Twilight will just logic Chrysalis's plan. Just like next time Discord is out he'll know to keep chaos magic away from the Sparkles. I'm pretty sure once as a chew toy was enough for him.
ok, now I'm super curious what Crysy's real plan is.
9597811
I’m sure it’s STILL going to be incredibly stupid.
Chrysalis wouldn’t be Chrysalis if her plans were smart.
Also, I get the distinct feeling Angel Bunny knows something has happened to Fluttershy and he is currently making his way up to Canterlot to have “words” with the individuals responsible.
He will also most likely kick whomever is pretending to be Fluttershy into the next century.
I'm placing bets on all of them getting involed on some way or form
In my head I kinda see the part with trapped Pinkie like the opening minutes of the first Jurassic Park movie when they are dealing with the raptor.
Huh. This Chrysalis is actually pretty smart. She makes some good points about the Sparkles.
9597418
She's smart enough to know that the Sparkle family is far more dangerous than anyone besides an alicorn. Keeping them busy and confused is the best plan although it's surprising that even Chrysalis doesn't know that the mind magic on Shining is why Rahs is all gross and sick.
9598924
there's a reason for that.......
God damn it discord every single time
9599856
the writer of said comic has actually gone on record that even he doesnt know what happened, it was better if it was never specified, just kept the joke going for years...
Oh crap, she's competent. Threat level just went through the roof!
More reasonable then canon Chrysalis, but still stupid and evil. How is this supposed to end other than her enslaving ponies to be eaten? How can it end other then everybody thinking that changelings are monsters?
I really like this Chrysalis, less brain damage and more sneaky sneaky? It's almost like she's a changeling instead of a Zerg Queen. :D
Annnnnd, this was an epic twist on things. Close enough to be clearly the same thing, and yet changed enough to be all new and yet make sense for the changes in this 'verse. Plus, I had little idea where things were going, but knew they were going to be epic. Chryssi hiding from Twilight rather then trolling her makes sense due to her actually knowing about her. Just, all the changes mostly make sense and things are set up amazingly well, this first part is awesome.
Good try on stopping that train, but as stated, you can't block Twi from going where she wants. And yeah, Chryssi 'Shit." pretty well sums it up.
And smart Tia, do wonder if inviting the Mane 6 was Tia planning things, and setting pieces into place given the threat, without being overt about it.
I can actually see the image of Pinkie vibrating into multiple places at once......
And the start of the 'what's wrong with Rahs' mystery, very well handeld, at first, figured it was feedback from whatever was going on with Shiny, or maybe even something Chryssi was doing just to make him stuffed up and so not able to smell Changelings out.
So, with that description, let the boys have some not fun party, here's hoping Pinkie handles the bachlorette party.
I do so love the betting pools that go on, just so damn fun. Though isn't Rarity breaking the rules? Isn't the 'House" holding the pot not allowed to place bets?
And RD..... that's a losing bet. This response is WAY too serious for a Yak Declare War! Scenario.
And Shiny is an example of the phrase "When all you have is a hammer, you get really fucking good at using that hammer." And why specialists will trump generalists in their area of expertise. (Another reason the Dresden Files is so epic, it gets this. Most wizards look down on 'lesser talents' who don't have the raw power or versatility to be full blown White Council members, Harry knows that while they aren't as versatile as a full Wizard, they can be freaking terrifying in the one area they are good at.)
Sparkle family is so epic, they even fast track Darwinist propagation of survival traits.
And then you go and give us a possible reason for Rahs being out of it that isn't the result of maliciousness. Well played.
Yes, by all means, let him eat Cadance's magic.
Well, the act uppity and pissed off at them for a flimsy, but real, if petty reason is a good defense for keeping them back and for staying away from them. Good job Chryssi!
Ehhhh, still not a fan of the Mane 6 just wearing their Elements around or keeping them out in the open-ish.
See, Rarity isn't wrong, odds are, anyone serious about stealing it would assume it's just a replica she made to go with whatever dress is there with it. Especially if you also have a very blatant 'hidden' safe nearby.
Poor changelings, and yet, taking out RD is actually the easiest job they have.
Oops, be glad AJ is a silly pony. And/or managed to nat-1 that perception check.
Riiiiight, that's the reason to leave Angel at home. Still, smart enough, one less force of destruction to deal with. Could just say it'd trigger way to many cases of PTSD among the guests.
Yeah, you pissed of The Pink One "Dun goofed" is an understatement.
Yeah, you lot have no idea what you are fucking with. Sure, the other Mane 6 might look like less of a threat, but that is ONLY because they are being compared to the Sparkle Siblings.
And now Rahs knows something is up....... you should have left town when you could Chryssi.
Chryssi, 'having her friends' still makes you a target....... granted not as big a one as messing with her family, but still....
And then, reveal that even Chryssi doesn't know why Rahs is sick, making clear this wasn't her doing. Again love the way this plays out.
So yeah, Chryssi is being a bit smarter, but still being Chryssi. More just lucking out in having troops inside the shield this time.
*thwack
Ow! Discord! You hit me with a golf ball!
Very clever Queen. I love this version...
So is Chrysalis Celestias Ex?
Poor Chrysalis... All she wants is a kingdom
Let's let this one try, as an example as to why they aren't doing it
10913710
No, she’s Cadence’s ex.
What was Chrysalis plan after the wedding... Seriously, they keep at currently bearly together
11129005
Indeed
10913710
No, she's Celestia's father's ex. Well, sort-of.
It's not easy to be a queen, especially with that mutch complications last minute poping up ...
