Kismesissitude

Twilight slid around a corner, cursing the second of speed she lost by doing so before breaking into a run in an attempt to compensate. The shadows around her lit up, and she fired a concussive blast at the seemingly bioluminescent Changeling without breaking her stride. He hissed inequinely before shrinking back from the blast, and Twilight continued her gallop, finally catching sight of her target; A wooden door at the end of an ominous hallway. She slammed them open dramatically to powerslide into the center of the dimly lit room, directly beneath a chandelier lit by jade-green stones.

As she whipped her head around the room, searching for the one who had called her here, she heard a faint creak above her, and caught the falling chandelier in her magic without thinking, tossing it besides her. An evil cackle resounded throughout the room, and she charged a magical attack as the darkness jeered at her.

"Very clever, Princess. Your instincts have certainly improved since our last encounter."

"Enough games, Chrysalis! Show yourself!"

"Since when are we on first names basis?" Chrysalis whispered suddenly, catching Twilight off guard. She whipped around to see the wall shift, and immediately discharged her shot at the wall, blowing it into dust as the outline of a tail slipped away behind it. Twilight leaped through the hole, reaching a dark room lit by spider-like webs made of the neon green substance Changelings seemed to leave behind. Two eyes lit up at the end of the room, faint enough that Twilight wouldn't have caught it if she hadn't seen this trick pulled several times before.

She swung her head down to parry at the last moment, feeling an unpleasant scrape as Chrysalis leapt out of the shadows and clashed their horns together. Twilight snarled as she was lifted off her hooves and slammed against the wall, and she charged her horn again in preparation, as Chrysalis bared her teeth. After a tense moment that seemed to last an eternity, they lunged at each other at the same moment-

Coming in for a deep kiss that lasted even longer.

They both fell to the ground, rolling around on the stone and snarling insults while coming up for breath. Finally, they broke apart and slunk to opposite sides of the room to catch their breaths.

"Give... Give it up, Chrysalis... You're not going to get away with... What did you do again?"

"I... I don't remember what the plan was again... I was mostly focused on getting you here..."

"You didn't...? Whatever! We can still fight!"

Their horns lit once more, and Chrysalis smirked as she watched her opponent charge her head-on.

---*---

"YOU RAN OFF TO FIGHT CHRYSALIS WITHOUT TELLING US, AND THEN YOU KISSED HER?"

"I thought she had captured one of the princesses or something!"

"You thought she was putting your mentors in mortal danger, so you kissed her!?"

"She also invited me to fight her again next week. I think I'll go."

"She tore your hind leg off this time!"

Twilight glanced at the messy stump below the hospital bed sheets, before sheepishly turning back to Rarity.

"I'm sure she'll give it back next time."

"SHE SWALLOWED IT WHOLE!"

"So it'll be in the same condition I left it in."

Rarity sunk her head into the bed, prompting a few sheepish pats from Twilight.

"Twilight... my closest friend, Twilight Acorna Sparkle... Why, in Celestia's name, do you feel the need to throw yourself into her arms again?"

---*---

"I can't help it! She's just so powerful- So many fools have dared to call themselves my equal, but she can actually back up that claim! I hate her with every molecule in my body, but at the same time, I feel... drawn to her! Does that make sense?"

The drone stayed silent, continuing to shine he chitin of his Queen as she continued monologuing in response to a question he hadn't asked in the first place. She pondered her nemesis some more while absentmindedly running a hoof through her hair. When she glared at him suddenly, it occurred that he was meant to answer.

"Yes, My Queen."

"I've invited her over again for next week. Feel free to abandon the hive that day to save your skin from our rampage. Oh, I can't wait!"

She giggled in a fashion someone not working under her tyranny might consider adorable, and the drone briefly wondered if he was meant to laugh along as he was obligated to during her evil cackles.

"Yes, I know a monarch of my status shouldn't concern themselves over such trivial matters as love in any form besides edible, but think of the glory each fight brings us! Two eternal rulers, battling for supremacy in a foreign field as cities burn in their wake, unnoticed by either! And if this is love, it's powerful enough to feed my children for centuries! Yes... I will meet her, and we will fight, and we will see what happens...Eeeee! I'm so excited!"

---*---

The battle had raged for hours now, with both sides straining to overcome the exhaustion gained from fighting their equals in strength and stamina. The fight had left the hive long ago, carrying through the wasteland before settling on the top of a disc-shaped plateau with a long crack running diagonally across it's otherwise perfectly flat surface. Both sides struggled to keep their footing at opposite sides, desperate to not show weakness to their enemy. Finally, Twilight collapsed down on her prosthetic leg, struggling to pull herself over to her weakly-giggling foe. As she reached Chrysalis, the Changeling Queen began to stiffly jerk, before leaning down and spitting Twilight's bile-covered leg on the ground in front of her.

"Heh... Thanks.."

"N...No problem..."

"Please, Chrysalis... This has gone on long enough... Why do you keep fighting me? You haven't even done anything this time, it feels like... You just like fighting me..."

"I do! I love fighting you, but I just... feel something else, between us, and I don't know what it is!"

"You... do?"

She nodded limply, before finally collapsing in front of the Princess. Twilight pulled herself over, and nervously lay her head on Chrysalis's chitinous belly. When she made no move to stop her, she took another cautious step by running her hoof through the Queen's hair.

"How about... how about we call a truce on this one... my friends are probably worried about me, I was kind of in the hospital when I ran after you... we can call a truce, and then next week, after we've healed up a little... Maybe you could come to the castle, and we could... have lunch together?"

"Heh... I'd like that... I'd like that a lot."

Twilight snuggled up to her some more, and they lay there, staring up into the clouds, both of them suddenly unsure of their futures.

Author's Note:

In case you couldn't tell, I came up with the title before the story.

"Kismesis"
"Kismesissitude"

Is that a Homestuck reference. :derpytongue2:

Don't you mean Kismit?

When I read the title, I thought: Won't be the last time

Kind of reminds me of the ending I had been expecting out of Naruto, which was that Madara’s plan was to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a world in which he could fight Hashirama forever...and that’s it, that was his grand plan, his goal, the thing he’d been working centuries towards. He just loved fighting Hashirama so much that he never wanted to stop.

It would have been better than the ending we did get...goddamnit now that I think about it It's like Kaguya was introduced just to help hype boruto's plot line.

Boruto ruined the end of Naruto.

9963764
Out of all the discourse I expected in the comments of this story, Naruto was not one of them.

9963781
No one expects ninjas.

That's because they're ninjas which means the unexpected is just another element to plan for.

I honestly feel obligated to post this for some strange weird reason:
You KNEW this was coming YOU ALL KNEW

9963802
Thanks, I think.

damn you
my one weakness
chrysalight

9963810
You are most certainly welcome aura, it was bound to happen sooner or later

9963815
I dont think anyone's ever shortened my handle that way. Def pleased.

I think that it would make sense that changeling would perceive romance in a black way (yes I'm using homestuck terms deal with it *puts on ironic pointy anime shades*) conserding that they feed of of love in the traditional sence.

Homestuck? In MY 2019? It's more likely than you'd think.

9963844
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

9963827
Most certainly agree with ya dude. Plus it would be a good excuse to explain them hate fucking. :P

9963875
I am not writing that.

9963880
I know I'm just saying is all. :P

9963823
It just seemed most obvious...anyways I’d like to see more of this sometime!

This is the perfect Chrylight.

9964108
Eh. My bio really says it all. This was really just a side project while I work on a bigger fic that I hope is gonna be better than this trash.

9964262
Im glad you think so.

9964612
Doubt it. This really was not the fic i expected to blow up, even if that only means 34 likes, considering how bad this story was compared to my others upon looking back at it. I really just wrote this in an afternoon to procrastinate. I appreciate the support anyway.

9964612
ok, maybe. IF i still feel like procrastinating on that lyra fic.

9963823
I thought this was fairly well written, just a bit hastily written. I’ll check your other work later

9964940
anyways, you have earned yourself a new follower!

Oh this is great. I love the enemy thing with Twilight and Chrysalis. If I were Twilight, I'd consider her my worst enemy for turning my BBBFF and friends against me. Pretty funny the way they have a little romance in there too.

Love makes fools of us all...though I admit that most value their limbs a bit more.

I can't help it! She's just so powerful- So many fools have dared to call themselves my equal, but she can actually back up that claim!

:trixieshiftright:: "Just like me, the Great and Powerful Trixie!"
:twilightblush:: "Well..."
Edit: When I wrote this I thought it would be Twilight talking. I'll leave it here anyway.

"I've invited her over again for next week. Feel free to abandon the hive that day to save your skin from our rampage. Oh, I can't wait!"

Thorax: "Don't worry, I already have an idea where to go. And it will probably not end in an revolution throwing you out."


Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.

9965532
Eh. Her leg was fine.

Heh, reminds me of another fic where Chrysalis mistakes Twilight fighting (and foiling whatever scheme she cooked up) for "aggressive eloping", resulting in the Queen agreeing to Twilight's apparent marriage proposal by defeating her in combat (I think the idea was paraphrased from Klingon marriage rites). The story then continues with Twilight more or less politically railroaded into actually marrying Chrysalis with the hopes she might be able to redeem the Queen (Ha! Like that'll happen), while Chrysalis works to "woo" Twilight in her own way while having almost no clue what a pony really likes. It's an educational process for both... (Many changeling drones are abused for the comedy)

Changeling courtship rituals was a really cute story

Not gonna lie, the turn was so abrupt I had to reread it a couple times. But it totally worked. Honestly I kinda want more. Like... What is that lunch gonna look like. Does Twilight get her leg reattached. Will she take a trophy from Chrysalis's body. I've fallen hard for this ship before, and for the same sort of premises, but never quite this bluntly done.
Yeah, I talked myself into it. Liked, faved. And you'll get a follow with even a small hint at a sequel.

9969694
why do people like this piece of trash I'm going to have to write a sequel at this point

9969697
Sorry. No accounting for taste right. Maybe stop being a good writer and people will stop expecting good stories from you I guess. No, that probably won't work either, fans are crazy like that.:rainbowlaugh: If you do write a sequel I guess I'll at least promise to not fan boy to much at it. I know how it feels to have people praise the work you hate. Not here though, more back in college.

9963802
That is going to throw an odd wrench into my YouTube video algorithm.
..... Worth it, and I don't even know what the frick that series is.

9965532
Darn you, you beat me again.
And it all really depends. I'd forgive my wife if she cut off a limb. Once and only once though. Ok maybe twice. But I've also been married to her for a while now so there's more investment. Before the first date... It might just depend on how hot they are. Not sure, it's been a long time since I've been single.

9969730
Perhaps I value limbs more than most then.

9969749
Probably not, I'm a little more nihilistic then most. Plus, why would Twilight need limbs. She has magic.

9969754
Yeah I’d trade a limb for magic.

9969789
Doesn't really seem my cup of tea. I mostly liked the sentiment of the song. How can you love someone if you've never thought about killing them at some point. :rainbowlaugh:

9969843
Just figured to give you some context lol

9969843
Shame. It's one of the best internet pieces of fiction in my opinion, I even have a shirt based on the one a main character wears.

9969702
If my other stories are worth anything, the answers no.
