Two's a Company...
“Where are your precious elements now, ‘princess’ Twilight?” Discord yelled, laughing to himself. He, Chrysalis, Sombra and Nightmare moon were all cornering her towards a window, while Twilight was cowering back. She was bleeding, her wings were battered with one even half broken off. She was limping and her horn seemed to be disabled of any magic as futile sparks emitted from it. Chrysalis laughed as the four closed in on her. All Twilight did was whimper and yelp out of pain and fear. Her soft cries of desperation getting louder as her behind hit the window.
“Even as an alicorn you’re a failure.” Chrysalis spat, chuckling darkly to herself. Twilight looked behind her, out upon the ruined Canterlot. Such a shame, princess for only a few days and already failing. Maybe this wasn’t her destiny at all. But this here, this was certainly her fate. She couldn’t escape, all four figures grabbing on to Twilight. They chuckled, staring her in the eyes. Fear in her’s, sweet victory in theirs.
“All bow for the princess.” They said in unison, before pushing the broken Twilight against the window, shattering the glass as she fell through. My eyes widened at the scene. Twilight, my faithful student and the only hope for the safety of everypony in Equestria, lost as she went tumbling down, plummeting towards the ground with broken wings...
Then they turned around and gazed at me. They looked at my broken body from top to hoof, my fragile figure slouching against the throne. I didn’t struggle, I didn’t crawl back. I just stared them in the eyes, one by one. I couldn’t even feel pain anymore, they’ve broken me completely. I was void of any feelings. I wasn’t scared or angry or upset, I was nothing. I was a broken shell.
“Oh, my dear princess Celestia...” Discord muttered, chuckling to himself. “Why the long face? You almost make me feel like I’ve done something wrong.” He mocked, breaking out in a laughter. I didn’t react to Discord’s petty mockery. I did attempt to get up, but I ended up wincing when I tried to even flex my wings. I couldn’t move, I was paralysed. But then Nightmare Moon approached me. She gazed at me and let out a soft sigh, as if she was almost disappointed.
“Both you and me knew this day had to come, sister.” She told me, stroking one of her hooves along my cheek. She was gentle, surprisingly tender with her touch. She leaned down, softly planting her lips on mine. I didn’t react. Well, I raised my hoof slightly, as if begging for Luna to come back. But I knew she wasn’t. She was trapped in darkness, and would always be. She pulled back, ending the kiss of what I thought was her goodbye. She stroked my cheek again, drying up a tear that had left my eye. The four figures rose over me and my first reaction came, a soft sob...
“This day has been just perfect...” Chrysalis chanted, her emerald eyes cutting through my battered soul. “The kind of day of which I’ve dreamt since I was small...” Her lips curled into a vicious grin. I felt my consciousness slip away as they grabbed me. I finally felt fear as I felt their hooves and paws on me, I was scared of what was to happen to me as they lifted my broken body from the floor. My eyelids felt heavy and finally dropped as my mind slipped away from reality....
...I’m princess Celestia, and this is the story of how the elements failed. How Equestria fell and how I met my demise...
-
The crystal empire lay easy for the night. Not a soul was awake, the empire was quiet and peaceful. Except for two mysterious figures that were approaching the palace. They snickered at each other once they reached the crystal heart, resting on its pedestal. Their eyes gazed at it, both chuckling.
“This little rock affects the whole of Equestria...” One of them chuckled, a chicken paw stroking over it slightly. He almost laughed, holding his canine paw on his belly. “How stupid to put this amount of power in one unguarded rock...” He muttered, admiring the crystal. “These ponies can be so stupid!” He laughed, before getting a nudge by a holed hoof in his stomach.
“Quiet, Discord. We don’t want to wake anyone. Not now.” She said, looking at the heart. “I’ve practiced this spell for years... Lets just hope it works now.” She muttered. Discord pouted and stood by the side, crossing his arms.
“Go ahead then. I can’t wait to see the chaos it will cause...” He chuckled, clearly excited. Chrysalis rolled her eyes and stepped back, her horn starting to have a green glow around it. Her entire body started to float, her wings outspread as her glowing became brighter and brighter. Her head jerked up, forced to gaze up as she spread out her legs. She took a deep breath, before opening her emerald eyes.
“Thine rod is athrust! The penetrating force of my venom shall shatter the sanctity of that mind which is barren of lust...” She started to chant, her eyes starting to glow just like her eyes did. “And as the seed falleth, so shall its vapours be spread within that reeling brain, benumbing it to helplessness according to thy will! Thy loins shall be aflame, the dripping of the nectar from thine eager cleft shall act as pollen to that slumbering brain; and the mind that feels not lust shall on a sudden reel with great impulse!”
The queen seemed to burst with green energy, her horn firing a powerful torrent of magic on the heart. The crystal seemed to absorb all of the energy, quickly going green. As it reached a point of overcharge, a large magic surge exploded from it, sending a curtain of emerald across the crystal empire and further away. Chrysalis collapsed, grunting slightly as the heart was glowing a devious green. Discord moved to help her up.
“Quite impressive, Chrysalis. it was almost as if you were praying to a higher deity than me...” Discord chuckled, helping the queen to her hooves. She chuckled darkly, shivering slightly from the power spent.
“I was...” She said with a grin, looking over to Discord. “The curse is set up. All of Equestria will be affected. Now we only have to wait for the produced love to retu-”
“You!” A voice suddenly yelled out. Chrysalis and Discord turned around, both of them smirking as they saw Cadence in a dressing gown. “You should’ve stayed in the hole you came from!” She yelled at Chrysalis. The queen growled slightly, trotting closer to Cadence.
“How are you not cursed?” She spat, her emerald eyes inspecting the alicorn.
“I am the princess of this empire. I could feel that something was wrong with the heart from the moment you two entered. So I protected myself with a magic shield.” Cadence said, glaring at Chrysalis. “Now remove this curse you’re talking about! I defeated you before. I’m sure I can do so again.” Chrysalis merely chuckled, walking towards Cadence. She lowered her head, so her eyes were gazing straight into her’s.
“You and what husband?” She said coldly. Cadence frowned, lifting her head. But as she did, Chrysalis changed in to a copy of the Crystal princess. She grinned, her eyes flashing green as she gestured to Discord. The draconequus chuckled, snapping his fingers. Four large weights dropped next to Cadence, with chains attached to them, which linked to Cadence’s hooves.
“What do you think you’re doing?” She snapped, trying to tug herself free from the weights. Her magic wasn’t doing anything useful to them. Discord laughed and appeared next to Cadence, hooking an arm around her neck.
“Try to relax and enjoy the show.” He said with a grin, pointing over to Shining. He galloped on to the scene, gazing around with a confused look on his face. He didn’t say anything, but some sort of green aura was emitting from him, his eyes also glowing a faint green. He looked at the real Cadence, then over to the fake one, who was...well...
“Stop that!” The real Cadence yelled. Chrysalis had lowered her body and raised her flank. Her tail lifted up as she presented her privates to Shining.
“Oh Shining~” She whispered, a flirting tone on her voice. “Cadence has something for you...” She wiggled her behind, her tail flailing slightly as she did. Soon, Shining had leaned, a lustful grin playing on his lips. Chrysalis bit her lip slightly as she could feel Shining’s thick member already rubbing up on her. “Oooh, this brings back memories...” She chuckled.
“Shining! That’s not me! It’s Chrysalis!” The real Cadence yelled, still trying her best to break free. Discord merely chuckled, still having an arm around Cadence. He pulled her closer, looking down to her.
“Oh hush, I’m trying to watch something.” He said, snapping his fingers and spawning a levitating bowl of popcorn and a drink with a straw in it. He grabbed a handful of the snack and stuffed it in his mouth. Cadence shook her head, trying to push Discord off desperately. The god of chaos grunted, more in annoyance than of the push he just received. “Oh, not like he’s able to hear you anyway. He’s more pent up right now than...well, anything really.” He laughed.
“Go ahead, Shiny... I don’t have the whole night...” Chrysalis said, looking at the stallion over her shoulder. His tongue was lolling out of his mouth as he moved back a bit, his throbbing rod lining with the fake Cadence’s nethers. Chrysalis grinned, preparing for the impact; and an impact it was. Shining slipped his whole phallus into Chrysalis’ lovetunnel in one smooth go, causing the queen to let out a long, satisfied moan. Her inner walls ached around the pole that stretched them out, while his cock throbbed in response. Shining was quick to pick up a steady pace in moving his hips, the natural lube Chrysalis’ slit was producing allowing for the stallion to quickly move faster.
Shining lifted one leg up, for better reach deeper into the tightness of his wife’s cleft. Chrysalis let out a moan every time Shining thrusted in, the feeling of his balls slapping on to her with each thrust only intensifying the pleasure. Shining grinded his teeth together, letting out soft grunt as he took Chrysalis. The power of his thrusts making his mate move forwards slightly, but he hooked his hooves around her shoulder, keeping her in place. Of course, this meant that he was putting more of his bodyweight on Chrysalis, but the queen couldn’t care any less.
“Get away from MY husband!” The real Cadence commanded, tears starting to leak from her eyes. Discord let out an unamused groan, snapping his fingers again. A zipper appeared on Cadence’s mouth and shut, while the draconequus took a sip of his drink.
“Don’t you worry, Cadence. You’ll get your fair share of attention too...” He chuckled darkly. The princess looked up at Discord, shaking her head and mumbling on the zipper as her eyes gave off a panicked glare. But Discord merely chuckled, stuffing another handful of popcorn in his mouth. “After all, somepony’ll have to entertain the guests...”
Chrysalis suddenly let out a loud moan, grinning widely as her body twitched slightly. Her nethers tensed, making the thrusting more difficult but oh so much more pleasing. Shining groaned, sweating slightly as he picked up the pace. A wet sound emitted every time he made an inwards thrust, his pride giving off twitches as he was nearing his own climax. Chrysalis shoved her hips back, letting out a loud ‘unf’ as she felt it reach deeper than ever before. It was then that Shining lost it, letting out a loud and victorious groan as his seed spurted into his mate. Chrysalis grinned as she felt Shining’s grunts and puffs wash over her neck. He gave a gentle kiss, before pulling his rod out and sitting back, panting happily.
Chrysalis stood, shuddering as she felt Shining’s load slowly drip out of her marehood. She changed back to her true form, turning to Shining. She chuckled and stroked over his mane, giving him a gentle kiss on the lips. But all Shining did was gaze at Chrysalis, confused. However his green aura and eyes were quickly returning; and the stallion couldn’t care any less.
“Thank you darling... That was just what I needed to regain my power...” She said, grinning. She stroked over Shining’s chin, flicking it softly. “Now, Discord, over to step two...”

Twilight squirmed on her bed. Another restless night. Yesterday, the day before she went to sleep. So the day before this night. That day was her coronation. She didn’t sleep well, especially with those fresh, new wings on her back. She didn’t really know how to control them and they were spread out, making the lying down on her bed quite difficult. But that wasn’t the only thing.
She was having nightmares of leaving her friends behind or outliving them. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing those that helped her fulfill her true destiny. They were dear to her and she didn’t want them gone at all. What if something terrible would happen and she wasn’t there? The dreams were only throwing these sort of suggestive thoughts in her brain. But the fact of outliving them, will she really grow that old now she’s an alicorn? Will she live thousands of years, just like Celestia and Luna?
She opened her eyes and grumbled, looking at her wings behind her back and folding them. She frowned and stood, walking to the window to gaze outside. She gazed over Canterlot at night, sighing. She’d rather be in Ponyville, than here in this castle. But it was her duty, as a princess, to stay in this castle and attend her royal services!
The purple mare sighed and gazed outside. Canterlot was beautiful and still this night. The dim lights of the lanterns. some of Luna’s guards patrolling over the streets. A large, green surge of magic coming this way...
Twilight’s eyes widened and she gasped, backing away from the window as the emerald curtain swallowed Canterlot. But just before it reached the castle, Twilight casted a shield of pure, white magic around herself. The curtain enveloped around her, but the magic didn’t sip in. It couldn’t reach Twilight. It just stroked alongside her protective bubble. The magic moved through the walls and left Twilight’s room. The mare looked around, the white magic dissolving as she moved back to the window. Canterlot seemed the same, except that the guards were now gone and some doors of the houses were opened wide.
Twilight immediately left her room, rushing towards Celestia’s throne room. However, she got a bit lost in the halls of the castle. But after some navigating she found her way, her ears perked as she heard two voices inside. Celestia and Luna were discussing heavily. Twilight gulped, never having heard them so worried and angry. She walked in to the throne room, both the sisters immediately falling quiet. But before Twilight could open her mouth to say anything, Celestia started.
“Twilight...” She said, gulping softly as she looked over to Luna.
“There was some sort of green magic fie-”
“We know.” Celestia interrupted. “The source and effect of the magic is worrying...” She explained, approaching Twilight and sighing. “The curse was casted from the Crystal Empire...”
“Curse?” Twilight exclaimed. “What curse? Is Shining okay?” She asked, looking up at her princess. Celestia casted another awkward and scared glance at Luna.
“We do not know...” She simply stated, sighing. Twilight’s ears drooped down as she started backing away slightly. “The curse was casted from the Crystal Empire and we’re not getting any answer from Cadence or Shining...” Celestia explained. “The curse... causes extreme lust and will. Worse is that it does not only affect ponies, but also dragons, animals and any other form of sentient being.”
“How do you know this curse?” Twilight asked.
“I analyzed it.” Luna simply stated. “Just after the curse was cast over Canterlot, one of my guards attempted to...defile me.” Luna’s cheeks turned to a bright red at the thought. She cleared her throat. “Of course I froze him with a spell. I managed to analyze the curse from him.”
“This might be a danger to all of Equestria, Twilight. Something went wrong in the Crystal Empire and we need you to investigate. Take the elements with you, and bring your friends.” Celestia said. Twilight gave a firm nod, turning around and about to leave.
“But be cautious.” Luna interrupted again. “This curse is powerful. Very powerful. Only alicorns are able to fend it off, which we did, luckily. But your friends are not alicorns. They will most likely be under influence of the curse. Do not obey their needs, you need to find a way to snap them out of it. Do you understand?” She asked. Twilight nodded again. “And one last thing. The curse does not only mess with the mind. Also with the...body...” Luna muttered, gulping as she blushed again.
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked, gazing at Luna. Celestia also turned to look at her sister, obviously surprised. Twilight figured that Luna hadn’t even told Celestia yet.
“The curse changes certain body parts... Not only in size but sometimes...uh...” She gulped and looked away, clearly embarrassed. The princess shuffled her hoof over the rug slightly, her mouth slightly opened as if she’s forcing the words through.
“Oh, come on, sister. You’re more than a thousand years old, surely you can talk about this sort of subject.” Celestia spat skeptically, scolding her sister.
“It can change the gender.” Luna finally blurted out. Both Twilight and Celestia’s eyes widened. Luna let out a large sigh as Celestia blinked a few times, trying to take in the ‘valuable’ information. She cleared her throat, standing up in a straight pose as a slight pinkish tint was now also on her cheeks.
“How do you know this?” Celestia asked, turning towards Luna fully. Twilight had put a hoof on her lips in all nervousness, her cheeks also having gained a color as her eyes shifted from Celestia to Luna and back..
“The guard that seduced me was female before the curse washed over Equestria.” Luna told, her head hanging low as she felt rather ashamed of her own guards. “So Twilight, don’t be frightened when you find out one...or even some of your friends will be...male...”
Twilight nodded slightly, weirded out at only the thought of it. of course she’d still accept her friends but it would take some time to get used to. She was imagining a male version of every mare in ponyville. Celestia frowned as Twilight was just standing there, and gave the mare a slight nudge.
“You need to leave as soon as possible, Twilight. Time does not allow any slacking.” She stated, stomping one hoof on the floor in a slightly commanding manner.
“I promise that I’ll fix this, princess Celestia!” Twilight said, making a gentle bow for her princess..
“You will have to take the balloon to Ponyville. The train won’t be riding any time soon and the carriage is...too risky for reasons you can understand.” Celestia said.
“I can teleport, princess. It will take a lot of my energy, but I can manage it. The real problem is getting to the Crystal Empire. I doubt a balloon would survive the trip. And I can’t teleport all of my friends there, I don’t think I could manage that.” Twilight said. Celestia sighed and thought for a moment. Before finding an answer.
“Find some books about trains and drive a train there yourself. It’s the only way, twilight.” Celestia said. Twilight let out a sigh and nodded.
“Understood. I will go as quick as possible!” Twilight exclaimed. She then rushed off towards her room, not even waiting for Celestia to give an answer. She walked inside, grabbing some saddlebags and lowering them on her waist. She grabbed the box containing the elements, checking inside to see if they were still all there. luckily, they were. She lowered the box in one of her saddlebags, before moving out towards the library.
After getting lost in the hallways again, Twilight reached the Canterlot library. Her old studying place. She looked around the books, searching for one that could prove to be a handy instruction manual on trains. She frowned as she couldn’t find anything at first, but smiled as she finally found one book. She opened it and sighed. The book was rather old and dusty, so she blew off some of the dust to see properly. it had some decent instructions but some of them were a bit vague or technical. She flipped through the pages and sighed, instructions for different types of locomotives, but they seemed to be old models. She hoped that at least one of these would still be in use. But it’d have to do. She slipped the book in her other saddlebag, closing and forcing a smile as she got herself ready to teleport. Her horn started glowing purple and soon she disappeared in a flash.
-
“So, here’s the horn...” Chrysalis said, walking on top of the highest tower in the Crystal Empire. On the exact same pedestal that Sombra had hidden the heart on, was now his horn. The only piece that was left of him. Chrysalis had a leash in her mouth and she tugged on it, grinning as Shining was pulled along with a collar around his neck, the leash connecting to it. Discord chuckled at the sight of Shining, deciding not to say anything about it because this seemed rather personal for Chrysalis. He sighed and looked at the horn.
“Hmm... This seems awfully oddly placed...” Discord muttered. he snapped his fingers, the horn appearing in his hand. But as soon as it was gone from the pedestal, a ring of crystals shot out of the ground, surrounding the now empty pedestal. Discord chuckled, playing with the horn. “How ironic, place his horn on the pedestal he used to hide the heart...” He grinned slightly, letting it dance on top of his paw.
“Now we wait until I have gained enough power...” Chrysalis said, looking at the horn. She smiled at the possibilities and she could already smell the victory. her smile quickly formed to a grin.
“And if the elements appear?” Discord asked, looking down to Chrysalis, who still had the leash in her mouth. But her grin faded slightly when she heard about those cursed elements.
“I have plans for them. They won’t even have the chance to put their elements on.” Chrysalis said with a dark chuckle, turning to the stairs. “For now, lets make this our home...” She said, starting to trot down, followed by Shining and Discord.
“Before you get your little swarm all over this place, I want to say that I want a spot of my own here in the palace.” Discord said.
“Oh don’t worry about it Discord, you’ll have your personal space.” Chrysalis answered. “And my darlings will be distracted by their host anyway. Cadence is still waiting down there.” She said, letting out a chuckle. She kept going down the long stairs, finally entering the throne room. She tied Shining’s leash to one of the arms of the throne, petting his head slightly as if he was a pet. Discord smirked slightly, shaking his head in disbelief. He then followed Chrysalis to the balcony, smiling. The sun was peeking from the horizon, day was coming. But what really caught the eye was a black, buzzing cloud in the sky. It became bigger and bigger, the sound of buzzing only getting louder. Chrysalis grinned, admiring the sight.
“Here they come... my dear subjects...”
