She made a run for the front door, until a voice stopped her. Barbarousis answered assuredly. That was an impostor with evil intentions, yet you let her facade fool you, and I know you sister. The sound was so loud that it caused everything made of glass in the room (along with Shining's eardrums) to shatter. Rarity quipped cautiously. Twilight was ravin' about Cadence being an impostor and repeatedly called her evil, which made her cry. I wasn't going to let them go, so I chose to betray my best friend in favour of a bug. Unnerved, but not visibly so, Shining decided to make an announcement to his officers. Sobbed Celestia. Spike? She zoomed in on the Spartan's head, intent on sniping him clean through the skull.

The girls proceeded inside, the front door open, but Cadance could still sense the traces of rage embedded within the shield's structure. ", "Thank you Cadance. And honestly . "Excellent." Cadance was focused mostly on how Twilight was going to feel seeing the girls again. Celestia screamed in her Royal Canterlot Voice as she woke. "Now I must return to the palace. "Of course your highness. Cried Rainbow. Meanwhile, a second echelon, made up of thugs and lowlives from neighbouring towns and villages in the Badlands will advance northeast towards Canterlot, where upon arrival they will smash their way through the city and, through sheer brutality, cripple the Royal Guard's defensive perimeter.".

Additionally, because you said she had a lot to think about, after taking a moment to gather her thoughts, she has resigned from her post as the bearer of the Element of Magic. The walls, floor and roof were cast marble, a red carpet stretching from the door to Celestia's bed, equally an impressive sight as the room itself. There was no known reports or rumours of a wedding or any other high-security event this time, according to reports from her spies, thus there wouldn't be a shield to deal with. Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. Meanwhile, Cadance and the Mane 5 were aboard the train which followed Twilight's to Ponyville. Did they really have the matter under control, or were they too caught up in the wedding to remember what was at stake? The captain was debating whether to watch over her or leave her in peace, but before he could make up his mind, Celestia suddenly let out a distressed whimper. Are you sure you slept well?".

On the other hoof, I can imagine how glorious victory will be when we storm the gates of Canterlot, and it is all thanks to you that this is possible!

She tried alerting her friends to the impostor's cold and condescending behaviour, compared to Cadance's warmth and benevolence. "Princess Luna, we need you to come with us. Come." "In the event the second echelon goes rogue, our Changelings will enclose and crush them, while hunting down any stragglers. Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. I want to make up for my actions at the rehearsal.". Replied Skoula, having taken some time to analyse the proposal. However, she had to put that behind her, in order to stick to the task at hoof. It is unknown to us what became of Shining and Celestia at that time, but Twilight had nopony else to turn to, hence why we believe that her friends basically betrayed her just for the comparably petty glamour of being the bridesmaids of the wedding. Cadance took a moment to consider Rarity's offer. Cadance was left with the job of escorting them out. She was failing to find words to counter Spike's arguments. ", "And anyway, that's what friends do!" I would do it myself, but I must oversee repairs to the city, as well as the immediate treatment of the injured. Not the sort of difficult where Shining could not recall Night's exact words, but the sort of difficult where emotions and mentality were concerned.

You, her friends and her princess put her and all of Canterlot in jeopardy! Answered Pinkie, her voice, for once, devoid of any jubilance. The point here is that the girls are sorry for abandoning you and they want to make things right! "Twilight has left the city with Spike". Dark and evil thoughts began to seep into Chrysalis's mind, but her thinking was quickly ceased by the yelling of a nearby farmer who fled to the village to warn the garrison. "Well, there was the time Twilight went crazy about her friendship reports to Princess Celestia. Despite being armed with weapons and armor, the Royal Guards were finding it tough fighting the vicious and determined Changelings. Celestia clenched her eyes in pain. The Mane 5's ears collectively drooped in disappointment. "Yes. Stepping up on the pedestal, Shining braced himself as the personnel present in the room began to look up at him. Can't you find it in your heart to give them another chance?". You all were.". "No Granny Smith. To make me be Celestia's attack dog again?!!".

What gives you the divine right to lecture us when you are guilty of the same sins?!" She was still listening, despite this. Perhaps she had been a bit too scathing in her criticism of her sister. "Well, it's best that I start from the beginning..". "That kinda goes without sayin' Princess" Replied Applejack. Spike filled me in on everything, especially the part where those five backstabbers wish to apologize.". How are we going to deal with them? asked Night with a hint of disappointment. Surely they won't allow themselves to be defeated as easily as last time! "And any enemy that attacks us will have free reign to wreak havoc." It bore one of her greatest and most nostalgic hallmarks; a caring, sympathetic smile. You will also be in charge of drilling. Luna gasped in shock. I am her number one assistant, and one of the few loyal friends she still has. The troops must stick to the mission at all times, and at all costs. Princess Luna is here!". She mocked and belittled my efforts to prepare for the wedding, as well as those of the others. There was a pause. Replied Velvet anxiously. It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life since the day he had met Cadance.

A Canterlot Wedding: Aftermath Chapter 5: The Whole Truth - FanFiction "I will not fail you.". The Mane 5 were completely stuck for words. ", "Yes. She decided it was high time Spike was given something to think about. She is a mare now, not a foal. Inside their carriage, the mood was quite grim. Meanwhile, Pinkie had also just woken up. ", "Why Auntie? To top it all off, there was an overbearing and very heavy feeling of speechlessness and regret hanging over the room. However, despite her sureness Rainbow could not shake off the nagging of her conscience, which continued to question her loyalty towards Twilight. Glaring into it, the flame produced a vision of Twilight in her library, reading through the lumps of friendship reports she and her former best friends had written over the months. The reality was obvious: While they thankfully hadn't signed their death warrants, Shining, the Mane 5 and Celestia had condemned themselves to this hell they were living.

Her throne possessed the ability to channel the love from her prisoners into her body, giving her extra magic power and increased strength, a much needed boost considering the toll Cadance and Shining's spell took on her. As a teacher, Celestia was extremely disappointed in herself. "General Skoula, I have just come up with an idea which could supplement our forces and bolster the success of the assault on Canterlot. "Thank you General." "Please don't leave me." This left the group with little else to do other than ironing out any flaws in their apology speech. The other girls silently nodded as they cried; even if they were to try again, the same result will be apparent and they didn't want that if they were going to get Twilight to be their friend once again. Twilight was clearly still in anguish and self-pity. "I'm shaking like a leaf. "Pack your things Spike. Shining dug deep before finally letting it roll off his tongue. Thus, she decided to take it upon herself to talk things out with them. The pain in her heart had become too great. Why hath you summoned me before you?

Behind him, the door closed and locked again, sealing him away from the outside world. The Lunar Princess knocked on the door, Twilight Velvet wasting no time in answering. "But.Spike.we became Twilight's friends for a reason. There's still a chance for you to make up with Twilight. The dreadful events of the rehearsal were still eating away at her heart, not least that of Shining or any of the other parties involved in the fiasco.

The Mane 5 were left speechless. Only the Creator knew how long they were going to be there, but that mattered little to Cadance. Applejack could only look at her with a face that bore a very clear expression of horror. Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle had met alone up in Canterlot Tower for a private discussion. I wasn't comfortable with leaving her, but I didn't want to be cast out of the wedding either! Replied Pinkie, trying her best to make her reply sound genuine. "I am sorry, dear sister. As she began to sob once more, Spike immediately took the mare in his arms, consoling her for all she was worth. ", "Shh, it's OK big sister." Just then, Spike stepped down the stairs. As it stands, we have done enough already. Whispered Luna, comforting her sister. "Good evening Princess Luna. We're both aware of how badly her friends, Shining and Celestia emotionally damaged her, but how is it she was not taken by them? Grinning evilly, Chrysalis held little care for such a plight. If you know of any of their movements, let me know immediately! The part that struck them the hardest was when he scornfully scolded Twilight and cut her off from his life, Twilight's friends leaving her to melt into a puddle of misery and Princess Celestia stabbing the final dagger into her heart by saying what she said.

Back at the castle, Princess Luna was holed up in her private quarters, furiously trying to win a game of Team Slayer on Halo 3's multiplayer, the game being set in the map Valhalla. Then, there was an explosion; the spell was completed. ", "As much as I respect and admire your loyalty to your family Captain, I'm afraid your duties lie elsewhere. How can you even call yourselves her friends anymore?!". One thing was for certain, the girls had a tough job ahead of them, and it did not seem likely they'd succeed, given the charges against them. However, the former could not help but wonder why if Luna was so badly affected that she allowed the Nightmare Forces to take her over, then why did the same not happen to Twilight? Cadance called out, hoping to hear from either the lavender unicorn or the baby dragon. How could they have no patience for their best friend the one time she was in the wrong, after all the times she helped them with their mistakes? Cadance and Rarity exchanged glances. The latter looked back up again, her stony facade pulled down to reveal the same broken mare they had last seen in the wedding hall. With that, Spike walked back inside. Asked Twilight Velvet. Twilight then tried to confront the impostor openly, but the impostor pretended to cry so as to maintain her cover.

If the Princess had guessed correctly, this wouldn't be good news in the slightest. Did you, all of you, forget that Canterlot was under threat of an attack?!". "Very well" Replied Cadance. They even issued the warning that if we fail to apologize to Twilight properly, then she may never forgive us again.". They offered to help me get the respect and attention I deserved in exchange for taking over my soul, and without much hesitation, I accepted. After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. I must speak with the both of you immediately.". Finished Barbarousis. I don't care how you do it, just get out of Ponyville, but only when we have Cadance. Now, I want the prisoners, all the prisoners, to be rehabilitated. "What do you mean your Majesty?" Y'all have brought shame to our family something fierce. Trotting through the castle's long and myriad hallways, he finally came across Celestia's private study, guarded by two of his men.
