Worse still, and we did not know this at the time either, but the impostor returned and sealed Twilight in the caves below the castle. "Anyway, shall we get onto discussing the plan?". But now, the teacher who had taught her student so much about magic and friendship simply walks out on her, as did her brother and friends when all she was trying to do was save them from a terrible fate? I wasn't going to let them go, so I chose to betray my best friend in favour of a bug. 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. "You see, I'm worried about the threat from the changelings." Although the changelings along with their queen, Chrysalis, had been defeated during the royal wedding, no one could be certain where they . "Equestria becomes defenseless." Added Shining, the proverbial dots joining together as he spoke. ", "That's OK Rarity. Cadance and Rarity exchanged glances. ", "Yeah, we screwed up big time." I need to check with Twilight. As you know, my job as the Princess of the Night is to watch over my subjects as they sleep, and ensure their dreams do not cause them distress or harm. Thus, she decided to take it upon herself to talk things out with them. "Good evening Lady Velvet. MLP: FiM. Replied Chrysalis. "What is the matter dear sister? Back in Ponyville, morning had dawned over the town, birds chirping happily to mark the occasion. "Proceed" Answered the Guard, who proceeded to open his door to the study. But they refused to believe it was anything more serious than wedding stress. "Yes. 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. There was a brief pause as Spike registered what he had just heard. Please, you must believe me. "We're nearly there girls. Nodding in response, Cadance signalled to the Mane 5 for somepony to make a move. We both know Cadance is capable of taking on any responsibility with the same good grace and warmth she is so blessed with. Spike witnesses it and, after the Changelings are sent away, Twilight is awakened by the same shockwave. Taking a moment to sniffle again, Twilight laid down her sins before them. May I come in?". Do you understand now that being the bridesmaids of the wedding corrupted your minds to the point where your cares and responsibilities faded into nonexistence?". "Applejack, there's something Big Macintosh and I want to ask you.". Without Twilight to lead them, the Elements of Harmony would become useless, and Equestria as a whole would lose its greatest means of defense. "Let me see my sister captain." If the Princess had guessed correctly, this wouldn't be good news in the slightest. said Shining. Spike bowed his head, fearing whatever reaction he'd get from Twilight. Remember, I'll be staying in Carousel Boutique while I'm here, so if you ever need me, I'm here for you. "Your Majesty, may I present Snake Bite. With that, Rarity had lost anything and everything she was going to say. Something ah' will probably never forgive myself for. Having settled in, Chrysalis decided to pass on some fresh orders to her officers. That lesson was to never ignore the concerns of your friends, no matter how small. Rarity, I'll meet you at Carousel Boutique.". "It's alright Applejack. It all started after we had arrived at Canterlot. Shining's actions had badly damaged their honor, something the family had proudly carried and improved from generation to generation. Her ability to see into ponies dreams had also refined her ability to sense their emotions as well. Fortunately enough for the elite Changeling spy, he did not have to wait long as around the same time Twilight and company had embraced each other in a hug, Blade soon reported back via telepathy. Licenses, Support us Then, when she tried confronting the fiend openly, like indignant fools we chose to abandon her. Moments later, Princess Cadance, the bride, Twilight's former foalsitter and somepony with whom she was very close . Just then, Rarity entered the building, the doorbell signalling the alabaster unicorn's arrival. It was just them against the world. Shining could only hang his head deeper from the truth in her words. "Of course ma'am." Unfortunately for Luna, she would be proven right as the group approached the throne room. The girls are sorry and they wish to apologise to Twilight personally!". As Celestia continued questioning Luna on her absence during the battle against the Changelings, Shining (who was standing away from them next to the throne room's massive doors) was getting anxious. I understand why you are upset.". The point here is that the girls are sorry for abandoning you and they want to make things right! It was because of him that the most recent events of the day transpired, and it wasn't just any old day. Just then, the conductor called out from the middle carriage. Act 1 [Later, when Twilight and her friends are setting up for the wedding preparation before The REAL Canterlot Wedding begins] Twilight Sparkle: Seriously, though, I get why the Queen of The Changelings wanted to be with you, but how did you get someone as amazing as Cadance to marry you? "I guess I didn't sleep well last night. This had left them both hurt and furious, emotions which Luna knew full well would suppurate and fester within their souls. Entire towns and villages had fallen mostly by his hoof alone, hence why Blade saw fit to pick him for this job. "They will heal. She has enough on her hooves without us being attacked.you may cast the spell Princess. Night moved closer to his wife, who leaned close to him in response. ", "However, for as long as you remain bitter toward those responsible for her emotional trauma, then you will remain susceptible to corruption. It's too soon.". "Yes Aunt Celestia. To make matters worse, he knew that it wouldn't end there. Yelled the lead Royal Guard. "Girls, tell me Twilight wasn't right. Luna nodded firmly. You seem to have javascript disabled, or your browser is failing to execute it properly. She zoomed in on the Spartan's head, intent on sniping him clean through the skull. That was the question burdening Applejack's mind, however. The tale that Celestia was spinning before her was intriguing her more and more. Even though he was going to have his flank handed to him, the last thing he would ever do, under pain of death, was defy his princess. One of the guards said gruffly. Furthermore, the want of a hoofshake at this time would have been utter folly. "That kinda goes without sayin' Princess" Replied Applejack. Just then, Cadance walked into the bakery. "You are in charge of the armory. Perhaps the word "Twily" sparked connotations between Twilight and the memory of her brother banishing her. She didn't know it at the time, but she was late for the meeting. "I'll talk to her first Rarity, let her know you all feel terrible for what you did and you want to apologize. The time has come for Canterlot to learn the true strength of the Changelings". Replied Luna, who walked inside. "Lady Velvet, Sir Light, the reason I am here is of great importance. Recognizing the voice of her foalsitter, she unlocked the door, allowing Cadance to open it. Celestia please help us.". Meanwhile, Pinkie had also just woken up. With a quick and curt bow, Snake Bite flew off to Ponyville. But from too many mistakes, there's no love, dancing or cake. ", "Ok Twilight." They are led by Cadance, the Princess of Love and their mission is to broker a renewed peace with Twilight. She loved them all very dearly, which explained the great pain she was feeling. In your disguise, try to look panicked and terrified. In the background, Black Blade had returned with one of the best spies in the army, Snake Bite. Mused Rarity. Like Twilight, Spike and Cadance before me, I find it hard to comprehend how you, along with Shining and the Element Bearers can dismiss the impostor's attitude as mere stress. ", This made Cadance lower a brow in question. I have to be elsewhere, so I must make my stay here as brief as possible. "I just wanted to check on you, make sure you were doing OK after yesterday. A small part of the pink alicorn was disappointed about the lack of a hoofshake, but it was completely understandable. You have not only brought shame to our family Applejack, but you have brought shame on yourself and your Element. Celestia screamed in her Royal Canterlot Voice as she woke. "Yes, Princess," said Twilight with concern. This has refined my ability to also sense ponies' aura.". "Ok Twilight, I understand. "No Rainbow!" "On your hooves, quickly! ", "Please, by all means!" "This shield spell contains traces of Twilight's anger, hence it's dark coloring" Said Cadance grimly. From her perch on the wall next to the gravity lift, she was awaiting any intruders from the red team to cross the mound in the middle, as well as either up the river or across the mound to the left. She glanced at the three commanders, before looking at General Skoula, whom she greeted with a nod. Velvet and Night could barely comprehend the news given to them. They will no doubt be complemented by cavalry and supported by archers from the castle's parapets. Everypony, meet Celestia.. You all know me for the Luna mobile, but now I have her sister: A 4th gen Pontiac Firebird. 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. Twilight's head drooped sadly. 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. ", "Yeah..I guess." Fluttershy said before yawning mid-sentence. However, Sharp Fang, who was also present in the war room, raised a matter which would have concerned the Changelings, were the situation any different. However, the pony she opened the door to was unlike anypony she could've possibly expected, her eyes going wide and her jaw dropping to denote her shock. The greatest evidence of a life-changing event is one's memories, and at the present time, the memory in Shining's head was fresher than a baker's dozen from Sugarcube Corner. Can't you find it in your heart to give them another chance?". The words "You have a lot to think about" continued to ring throughout the young unicorn's head, a constant reminder of her loved one's betrayal. "I'd love to. Replied Pinkie, trying her best to make her reply sound genuine. Even Spark was having trouble dancing the ballet of clashed blades with his other, despite his high morale. Once that is done, my unicorns will then teleport into the castle en masse, where they will begin to harvest the Princesses' love simultaneously, so as to increase their powers and give them extra strength in close combat. The difference here was that while Twilight was wronged, Spike was as much part of this disaster as Princess Luna was. "Is that my Shining Armor?!" Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. Their disguises were as solid as their nerves. What matters is that we are sorry for what we did, and all we want now is for us to be friends again. As my most trusted lieutenant, I am sure you will not fail me. "Yes ma'am!" After pulling herself together, Celestia took a moment to compose herself before speaking. "The wedding's been called off", said Shining, trying to keep a straight face. You honour us with your presence.". With that, Twilight galloped back upstairs, utterly offended. The two princesses stayed close so that one could be there for the other in times of distress, but for now that was not to be as Luna was monitoring reconstruction efforts down in the city. "Shining, take four of your men and bring Luna to me. "But goodness me, you look terrible. How could you think I wouldn't stand against that?! As Spike left to fetch Twilight, Cadance decided to ensure that the girls knew what they had to say, and more importantly how to say it. Replied Velvet. One of our garrisons was attacked and defeated by Chrysalis and the remnants of her army. "That is correct sister. "I'm sorry Cadance, but it just isn't that simple. "Your Majesty?" As the days passed, and my hopes turned into bitterness, you ignored it for the limelight, leaving me to succumb to my demons. "Applejack, you should know it's too early for me to forgive you. Celestia moped, acknowledging her captain's first name for the first time in a long time. Beside him at the war room table was Commander Alkaios of the pegasi, and Commander Maugrim of the unicorns. With that, the war room returned to its usual activity. I understand what you are doing is for the good of our kingdom.". ", "Exactly." As they made their way past Town Hall and through the daily market, nopony even paid them a passing glance. Maugrim added jubilantly. I have also informed my parents of Twiley's situation.".
#3055738 - safe, artist:prixy05, rainbow dash, pegasus, pony, betrayed The outside world didn't matter anymore. "Princess Luna, we need you to come with us. "It'sIll fill you in on everything inside", said Shining as they went into the living room. Cadance did have a right to be angry, considering how close she was with Twilight, but this was the equivalent of sticking thorns in her body. After Twilight is abandoned by everypony she trusts, Maleficent makes the poor, depressed mare complete her curse. One could even dare say the latter was no longer her favourite princess as well. You, her friends and her princess put her and all of Canterlot in jeopardy! "The Princess just had a bad dream.". The Changelings roared in unison, their thirst for blood amplified beyond comprehension. "Oh little Twilight Sparkle, I cannot imagine how much it must hurt to have been betrayed and left for dead by those you held close to your heart, those you loved. "Using my magic, I have been able to observe the movements of our enemies. Twilight was somewhere out there, hurt, alone, and for all he knew, lost. "Twilight, I'm here to say sorry for leaving you at the rehearsal. "State your business." Rarity was the only one who was sleeping the easiest of them all, but only because she had managed to maintain her composure. With that, Spike began packing his things. Replied the four guards in unison, following Shining down the hall as he trotted ahead of them. His face was initially grim with dread, but Shining recomposed himself, and dismissed the sentry. Yet another price had been paid for their mistake, and one that was very, very costly. "Thank you for your gratitude Sir Light." She decided it was high time Spike was given something to think about. Celestia could feel another slash tear through her heart as Luna hit her with another telling question. It was clear what she had planned now that she'd taken her revenge on Twilight; for straight ahead, perched on the side of the mountains and lit by the evening sun, was the capitol city: Canterlot. What if Cadance wasn't an impostor? "Well, there was the time Twilight went crazy about her friendship reports to Princess Celestia. The group was nearing Ponyville, and Cadance knew it was time for them to get ready. "I can remember spending most of the night cr-". Taking a deep breath, Velvet braced herself. Thus far, they had tasked their forces with the mission to raid every single one of Canterlot's outlying towns and villages, taking everypony residing in them prisoner and killing those who tried to resist, as per Chrysalis's new policy. Rarity, meanwhile, had a relatively peaceful journey back to her place of business, but she also had a feeling it would be a while before Twilight will forgive her and the other girls. Said Applejack, admiring the sight. Chrysalis delayed her response, taking a moment to ponder the plan. "Is that so?" ", "If it is any help Rainbow, I would advise you do not beat around the bush with her. Night and Velvet gently descended to the ground, their bodies embraced by Luna's inoculation spell. It ain't right of a princess to do something as foalish as a hoofshake." "No, thank you. He couldnt bear to think of it any longer but he wanted to get it over with so they can quickly make amends to his own sister, the Element Bearer's best friend and Celestia's student they all scarred for life.Still, they had to know, so Shining knocked on the door and it opened to reveal his father Night Light. Meanwhile, Applejack had woken up from a deep slumber. The sound was so loud that it caused everything made of glass in the room (along with Shining's eardrums) to shatter. "I can't believe ANY of you! What greeted the Guard Captain was a sight he had seen often enough, but still awe-inspiring in it's visage. For Twilight and Spike, it had felt like hours since they had left Canterlot for Ponyville, but in reality, it had only been a little over an hour and a half. Trotting through the castle's long and myriad hallways, he finally came across Celestia's private study, guarded by two of his men. The pain must be excruciating, for want of a fitting word. She was crying tears of both despair and joy. See you.". Don't forget what you have learned!". The elderly Apple took a deep breath before she spoke. Stay tuned! As for what you're going to tell her, I'm sure once the time comes, you will know what to say, and more importantly, how to say it. pleaded Shining in protest. The answer seemed glaringly obvious; Chrysalis had magicked Luna to sleep, before taking her back to her quarters to make it seem as if nothing had happened. "I.Oh Luna.I don't know why we left her. ", "Listen Twilight, I know how much you feel they betrayed you, and I fully understand how much they hurt you. Just as the cowpony was about to reply, a voice rang out from across the room. While I watched over my night, the ponies were asleep in their beds. Y'all have brought shame to our family something fierce. You all were.". Before his eyes, it opened to reveal Twilight, who was packing her saddlebags. He decided to give Blue Hue the directive to watch over war room operations while he was gone. How she, out of her friends, her brother and her mentor was the only one to notice the glints of Chrysalis's evil under the shroud of her poorly rehearsed masquerade, how helpless and shocked she felt when Chrysalis brainwashed Shining, how little her friends took her seriously when she tried to tell them her concerns about the impostor, how hurt and betrayed she felt when they walked out on her, following her brother to comfort a pony who was completely undeserving of any sympathy, regardless of the crocodile tears she shed, how lost everything seemed when Celestia was defeated and she and her friends were captured before they could reach the Elements of Harmony, and how justified she felt after Chrysalis was beaten. . Everypony has learned from their mistakes, not least the girls. However, that mattered little now, as she too was about to receive the brunt of Spike's fury. Replied Applejack, slightly unsure of what was about to happen. All this was as per Shining Armor's orders to get Canterlot back to working capacity. The reason was obvious; Twilight would be welcoming to everypony else but her former friends, her Big Brother Former Best Friend Forever and as of late, her former teacher. ", "Thank you Cadance. Only the Creator knows where they are right now."
This time, I am willingly choosing to leave because I regret leaving Twilight at all. Anypony who attempts to resist or to rescue her is to be dealt with immediately. With a reciprocating nod and salute (respectively), the two ponies proceeded through the halls of the castle up to Celestia's private bedchambers, two rows of guards watching over the hall leading to both Celestia and Luna's rooms.
a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction With those words, Twilight melted into Fluttershy like ice over a warm fire. Only Rarity, who looked the better pick of the bunch, greeted the pink alicorn. Discord What do you think of that sir? Luna gasped in shock. She looked about ready to give up "But we were so close to getting her back! It's Cadance! The pain in her heart had become too great. "Is that why you've come here?! Understood?". Celestia did mention something about betraying somepony when she was crying in the former's embrace, but it was only after she put two and two together did she see the horrible picture that was painted in her mind. They believe they are no longer welcome here, as regards the ban Shining forced on her at the rehearsal". "We won't leave you ever again.". I want to make up for my actions at the rehearsal.". Twilight had eventually stopped sobbing, her emotional wounds partially healed by the warmth handed unto her by the Mane 5. Why did you all push her aside for your own wedding and Cadence? You may not be omnipotent, and on that matter, neither am I, but you of all ponies should know when something is wrong. I chose to go with the flow rather than get shouted at for believing you before getting left alone as well. Replied the lieutenant happily. Eventually, the spell reached its climax as both Night and Velvet were completely enveloped by the light. "How could I have been so blind Shining?" "Everypony can come in, but no tricks or merriment. Now, I want the prisoners, all the prisoners, to be rehabilitated. Following behind him was a sight that made the group tense up nervously. You see, before I became Nightmare Moon, I shared rule of Equestria with my dear sister. With a sniffle from her snout, she fixed her Stetson and turned to face Cadance, a look of firm and hardy readiness on her face. The troops must stick to the mission at all times, and at all costs. "Take that back Twilight! ", "Your Majesty, the word "failure" does not exist in my vocabulary. When I betrayed our friendship, I betrayed everything I stood for, and I deeply regret it. Celestia clenched her eyes in pain. Follow us It was frustrating her to no end. Things were building to a climax as Celestia's eyes and teeth clenched tighter and tighter with every passing second. All you need to do is think of a Plan B, something that can make and have Twilight understand how sorry you really are. On the other hoof, the levels of disbelief grew for both Night and Velvet as they took in every little bit of Shining's story. The wedding hall remained as it was from the moment Twilight ran out crying; a room with an atmosphere crushed under the heavy weights of regret and sorrow. Meanwhile, Canterlot was buzzing with activity. "Twilight, it doesn't matter anymore. Spike looked back at the girls, angered. Celestia remarked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
