"Regret!"

>Too late, looks like Ah'm patient zero.

"Lies!"

>But Mah' question is, about Nightmare Night-

"I'm not answering another word about why I have it! It wasn't on the same day, it wasn't anything about Luna or Dreams or Nightmares in general, but just a screeching flying monster who 'gobbled up children', that's all! It's just a story that those who saw Luna shoot me spread and it became a holiday! That's it! That's all it is! I didn't make it, it's just someone saw a freakish flying ghoul thing and thought it would be fun to make a story out of it and bam! Holiday! That's all it is! I! Didn't! Do! It! Not my fault!"

>Ain't what Ah' was askin.

"Oh. What is it then?"

>What's with the statue?

"The statue?"

>One near ponyville, that statue.

"Ah, right that statue."

>Well?

"Would, ah, would you believe I didn't know it was there?"

>No.

"Ah. Well, in my defense, I didn't make it."

>So ya'll just deliberately left that thing that looks horrifyin' to just sit around. It has friggen fangs.

"And to that I say-MUFFIN ATTACK!"

As someone who is also in your position and shares similar taste in pink things, let me say this. If you constantlly think about where you'll end up, you'll forget where you've been and where you are now will seem worse because all that you've learned becomes blurred. Sometimes when there doesn't seem to be a right way forward you need to retrace your steps to get a better/different prospective. And it never hurts to talk with your /pa/ls.

You ever see an anon in story?

Pinkie Pie, story hunter!

>Dash
"Fluttershy"
~???~
~~~

>For the record? I'm getting ready to hit him again.

The yellow mare had lived her entire life enduring what other ponies said, and brushing off the negativity with a careful ease that had made her the very embodiment of kindness, even if she was occasionally prone to screaming fits in regards to animals.

Or, as a certain not-so-terrible-after-all dragon found, when her friends were endangered.

That situation she felt was most apt when she saw the harsh way each blue wing fluttered as they both landed hard on the top of Canterlot Castle.

"Dash, we're not going for that, we're going to tell everyone what happened down in Ponyville."

The puttering scoff the flying wonder gave off would have put Rarity at her worst to utter shame.

>Sure, like nobody told them already.

"We have to make sure."

Her lies, and in truth it was only a very partial lie, worked about as well as could be hoped and certainly about as well as she had expected.

That is, not at all

>Sure, we're also just so coincidentally going to make sure a certain part-chicken someone didn't chicken out. Two birds with one stone!

She instantly was overcome by regret when her companion let out a very small whimper at the idiom.

>Sorry.

"Why would you hit a bird with a stone..."

No small part of the pegasus was thankful that when they finally made it to the door containing the famed portal, she found a change of topic.

>...What happened to them?

It took only a careful look by the caregiver, normally of animals but no slouch when it came to ponies, to find why exactly there were two prone guards currently unconscious on the floor.

"Looks like they got into a fight with each other."

>Chaos?

"No, if it was that, their injuries would have been more... weird?"

She shrugged, unsure herself what that could even mean.

>What do you think it was?

When they heard one such prone guard moan, and say something about his mother, the questions promptly ceased.

1/3

>>28990638
>>28990638

>Right. After you!

With a bow and a gentlemarely wave, the chaos pony was allowed to step forwards through the portal, and off to the Crystal Empire, her friend not at all far behind her.

"OOF!"

That distance closed before she could even realize it was happening, leading to blue face running straight into her yellow rump when her advancement abruptly stopped.

>...Fluttershy? Is there a reason you wanted me to get an up close and very personal look at your-

~MOVE!~

It took a not-unnoticeable amount of time for the former bolt to peer over the mound of yellow and pink currently blocking her, but when she finally managed the obstruction and why Fluttershy remained staunchly in place became all too clear.

>Twilight! Oh, wow, you are not going to believe-

~MOOOOVVVEEE!~

Her magic flared out, attempting to push both of them aside and clear from her path of angry stomping. She failed, reality itself flickering and bowing in the opposite direction as the startled magic of the meek yellow alicorn before her did it's trick.

The glare her friend gave her would have put even the famed Stare to shame.

"S-sorry."

She apologized, but would not stand aside, no matter how much the twitching purple face wordlessly demanded nothing less under threat of magical transmogrification into a peach.

Not an apple, she wasn't rude after all.

"Twilight? Um... is... is something the matter?"

~I have to know.~

Pegasi and former-pegasi shared an uneasy, unsettled look at the hollow and dead voice that escaped from her normally bright and neurotic friend.

~I have to know if it was real.~

Their brows instantly began to sweat, and that twitching and that hollow stare became deeper than the churning of the deepest ocean in the world.

~It was, wasn't it?~

The sweat became sheens of silver on their head, and their own shared look of worry began to slip through the wall they had so carefully erected to hide it.

~...I kissed my dad.~

2/3

>>28990658
That worry turned into confusion, and this time they made no attempts to hide it.

>That's all the chaos did to you?

"That's not so bad."

They realized their slip a mere instance too late.

They realized what she was saying sometime after her horn started to throb with an unnatural glow.

"...Oh."

>You mean...

The pair grimaced, having nothing more to add to that save some very, very uncomfortable shuffles.

~Well! At least I know I'm not crazy!~

That was up for debate, they wordlessly said to one another, when her hair began to fray out of alignment.

>Um... well, I'm sure you want to know what happened?

~Everyone was acting super weird when I came back, I get that something happened, but I don't know what. I was... elsewhere...~

She shuddered.

The other two found themselves feeling much the same.

>Ah... well, good news is apparently he told them?

"Oh dear... I doubt he'll be up to give another explanation so soon."

>And then there's the... Ponyville thing.

~...beg pardon?~

They, the two of their little group who had known each other the longest, shared a single, worried glance, before resolving themselves for the weight they had to put on their dear friend's shoulders.

"What you missed is, well, Discord. He had... something to say."

Before this moment, Twilight Sparkle was utterly sure this was the worst day of her life.

Apparently, fate had a thing or two about hubris to teach her.

>>28990669
Guess that's one way for Twilight to learn.

>>28990217

>So, we're still not back to normal.

"Nope, still all blue."

'And I know the blues!'

(Wait, so you actually do play music?)

'...What? No, I'm just blue, get your head on straight.'

(But you have a music cutie mark.)

'That's a hook cutie mark! I hang ponies coats.'

(R-really?)

'Yep.'

"But we're nudists!"

'Kinda go screwed over in the whole destiny thing if I'm being honest.'

>Can we focus!

"Clearly not, there's nothing to focus on, it's just blue and angry everywhere! Everything is upside down!"

>We should still do something!

(Call my sisters!)

'...Are those actually-'

(It's really unclear.)

"How the heck is it-"

>POKEY!

"What?"

>Your horn!

"Oh sure, now you take interest, but when I wanted you to just try something back at my place-"

>Not that!

(Go oooonnn.)

>NO! I mean, it's still huge!

"Thank you!"

'It is pretty impressive.'

>What I mean is that they chaos went away before we got taken, which means here, it's still active!

"Just admit you want to try my horn."

(I'm considering it!)

>Focus! It means we're in a place where chaos still has effect!

'Which means.... what now?'

>It means that we might be in... Discord's domain.

"..."

'...'

(...Do you think he gets mail here?)

>FOCUS!

(I just want context on the floating mailbag.)

>...I think I've found our way out.

>Should we do something?

"Besides listen, you mean? Listening is fun! So is learning! Stay in school, kids!"

'...what?'

"Look, it's part of my probation."

>What did you do?

"Apparently, someponies didn't like it when I pointed out that school is dumb when what we do in life is literally dedicated by magic marks!"

'...She has a point.'

>Pinkie, that's silly. My mark is literally diamonds, what do you think that means?

'You know how to handle things that are hard and are used to having sparkling marks on your ass?'

>...

"OHHHHHHHHH!"

>Pinkie!

"I can appreciate the artform!

>It means I know how to make things beautiful!

'By waiting?'

>What!? No!

'Then what do diamonds have to do with that? They take thousands of years to be formed.'

>They... uh... well, uh...

'...'

>...Shut up!

"OHHHH!"

'How is that an oh!?'

"I like her better than you."

'...ouch.'

"Just gotta know the game, Teeny!"

'I'd be the first in this room.'

>OHHHH!

>I don't know what came over me.

"This is why we don't hang out as much anymore."

'This is why I stay in my Empire.'

'...So! Applejack!'

"Applejack is so cool!"

>>28991230
Did it just get super dark in here? Everyone is throwing shade!

>>28991198

Just never resolve that plotline

Dammit, we explain why that wouldn't work!

Sorry for the switch, way too many characters talking.
~~~

"...I'm listening."

A year ago, those two words coming from her would either illicit calls of utter insanity, or far more likely grow a paranoia within the orange princess faster than a plant hit by a spell of the most utter taboo to her and any farmer who had ever taken pride in their work.

Now, on this day after so much had grown, after so much had changed, she walked forwards without fear. Straight to the range when the Queen would be at her most deadly or violent, and she stared up without fear, or worry.

"Well?"

It was with those eyes, those that had seen more than the naive soul of a mere year ago that she had been, that she looked up to the one she had once called her most dangerous enemy.

Once before, and hopefully never again.

"We can't do it again."

There was fire in her voice, heat, passion, desperation and even a bit of force, yet it had all only come out in a whisper. So quiet that those in the back would have strained to hear, had the tenor beneath them not far outweighed their volume. Even if they could not have heard it, they felt every word.

"We can't."

There was silence after her insistance, as if those two words, alone, had managed to say it all, to explain with nothing more than simplicity itself something so very complicated.

"Is that it?"

It couldn't.

The royal changeling grew more weary, more angry, as the seconds ticked away. Her chitinous brow furrowed when she looked down to the pony still staring up at her with a hardened and unwavering expression.

When nothing further came, what little restraint she had began to slip away, and even the cool expression of what was no doubt the magical illusion covering her could not hold it.

"Is that really all you have?"

It slipped away, when her orange lips remained sealed.

1/??

>>28992281

"That's the only thing you can say to me, after all that's happened. After the attack that nearly killed us, after the chaos appearing outside, after not one, but two changelings may very well be... gone."

Her words, curtailed for the two younger within the room, failed in what she had hoped it would do. They saw through her, and her words, as easily as one would see through glass. she could not shield them from the truth, or what may have been.

It was very likely, if not certain, that they were both dead, and all in the room knew it. The best scenario they could pray for was that they had merely been abducted for experimentation, and it said so much about their state.

"And now, you would have me wait, have me leave more to their mercy, have me leave them unprotected and without my guardianship... because we can't do it again."

The room dimmed, unnaturally curling around the changeling's body and frame, until a shadow crossed over her face as dark as the gaze that bore down on the unmoving, unshaken pony beneath her.

"I can defeat them both, when I am at my best. I can outmatch them, outlast them, outthink them, unless, of course..."

Her eyes cut over, to where the princess of love sat on her bed with rapt eyes that held hers for only a second before looking away in regret.

"And you would have me give them more advantages, more possible attacks, more of everything... because we can't do it again."

Silence, deadly and cold silence, filled the room.

The hat dipping forwards in an jerking nod did not make a sound, but for all the effect it had, it may as well have been an earthquake.

"...explain."

Nothing could have shocked the room more.

2/??

>>28992286

The few who knew her, knew of her, knew that when the Queen spoke as she did, when she took on the air of regal power that she wore as tightly as a fitted suit, she was not often one to listen. She spoke, she demanded attention, and the idea of listening was so often a faraway dream that she would never even think to indulge in.

Even those who knew her, loved her, found themselves offset when the snarling mouth went silent following her single word declaration, and she truly did seem to listen.

"...we can't do it again."

Again, she left it at that, in total silence.

Nothing could have angered her more.

She closed the distance, her face tellingly near the alicorn's own, so much so that she could feel every single one of the hot breaths rolling over her cheeks, and could do little to staunch them.

"I didn't ask for a repeat, I said, explain."

She waited, and she waited, and she waited.

All the while, lights flashed behind the eyes of the pony before her.

With all the patience of a saint, she waited some more. Until finally, she couldn't wait anymore.

"Seventy Seven, deliver my command to the others, to-"

"Bring it all back to like it used to be."

Finally, it was the Queen's turn to fall silent.

"It... it just keeps happenin', dont'cha get it? This ain't the first time we did this, Chrysalis. Every time, every single time we get just a little bit further, it all goes back."

It was her turn to lose that darkness, and replace it with pity.

"I can't let them-"

"Just like ya' couldn't let them before. After the robots, we had a chance, but then we let the fear Chitania brought take hold, and we dang near had a fight. Then when Cordyceps arrived, we had a chance after they helped save the day, but our strife nearly caused a fight. Then when we took them out in the world, the secret got revealed, and we nearly had a fight. It just keeps happenin'. Every time we get forwards, you and me, we just let it slide right back, and we start all over."

3/?

>>28992303

That pity was shaken, all of them were shaken, when the alicorn's frown turned to a smile.

"And ya' know, in a way... there's a part in there Ah' actually admire about you, though it all. You and all the little critters who follow you. There's somethin' special in there, even iffin' ya' don't see it... but ya' ain't usin' it right."

She moved her head around, looking past the Queen to all the others in turn, never lingering, but seeing everyone one.

"All of us use it in a way, but most times... we don't use it right."

A whisper is what finally brought her back.

"What do you mean?"

Back to the Queen, staring with eyes wide open, and searching. Ready to see.

"...Ah' know why Ah' kept failin' now."

Her head jerked, never enough to take away her locked gaze with the fellow royal before her, but more than enough to silence the attempt from any of those present to try to spring to her defense. She loved that about her friends, she truly did, but she could not let them say a word against it.

It wouldn't be very honest, after all.

"Ah' failed, and dang it Ah' failed more than Ah' succeeded, Ah' messed up and made it worse, and more than once Ah' wondered iffin' Ah' was even doin' any good. Dunno, to be honest, ain't figured out iffin' that one over there done messed up stickin' these things on me."

The one in question, the object of her subtle jerk, barely made a sound. Instead, she only stared on with piercing alabaster circled eyes to the one she had granted such power and majesty, and with all the easy of a holy being she watched, and she waited.

"Regardless iffin' Ah' deserved it, or if Ah'm just gonna mess it all up, we're gonna have to wait to find out on that one. But point is, to this point... it wasn't much. And all cause o' one reason. And it's the same dang reason yer' about to make the biggest mistake of yer' life, again!'

4/??

>>28992309

She pointed back, not even having to look to gesture towards the eye-patch wearing changeling behind her, causing him to jump ever so slightly at the sudden attention.

"Ya' know what's goin' on in the town he came from, right now? What's happenin' in Ponyville? Ah' don't blame you not for knowin', didn't get much chance ta' see it before, but Ah' sure did. Ya' know what Ah' saw?"

If the silence was intentional revenge or based solely in her confusion and her fears, none of them could honestly tell. All they knew is that the tower of chitin that looked down on her with a hardened expression remained as silent as a tree, no matter how much the pony beneath her prodded.

"Ah' saw somethin' special. Ah' saw a town where somethin' was bein' fixed, and a town where things were growin', and dang it, a town where stuff was gettin' better. And ya' know why?"

That pointing hoof jabbed forwards, barely poking into the black chest before her.

"Cause... cause of one of yer' guys. It's cause of them, not me, not Twilight, not Celestia, cause of him, in part. He... look, he wasn't that great, he wasn't as smart as he thought he was, and he had a mouth on him like the son of some dang trust fund little rascal that ain't never worked a day in their life and wanted the world, but when it got right down to it... he helped fix things, and it mattered."

Gently, yet sternly, a hole ridden foreleg poked the hoof to her chest, and pushed it away.

"...And how well did that work out?"

They all snapped back from that one, the venom in her voice enough to poison the heart of an elephant and make it fall in fear.

"Wonderful."

Faster even than the flinch that had proceeded it, every jaw hit the floor, and more than one moved to get up when they saw the changelings face begin to twist in anger.

They never made it.

"If... if he is... you know..."

And they never needed to.

5/??

>>28992316

"If he is... it wasn't all for nothing. It made... changes, and good ones. Not just him, but Mayor Mare, Zecora, even Trixie... they made changes. They did something. It weren't just one great big shining light who beamed down to make the world better. He wasn't some savior, and he wasn't a dang chosen hero... but he was a hero, in his own way, all of them were."

She swung her hooves out, gesturing to everyone in the room.

"Not heroes like us, Mayor Mare didn't shoot the gazabooma monster in the face, Zecora didn't make a potion that cured all of the sniffles in the world, Trixie didn't figure out the dang puzzle that leads to the key that saved the world, none of them did that, and ya' know what? They were heroes. The heroes we should'a been. And ya' wanna know why?"

She finally looked back to them, to every rapt eye that stared at her, and waited.

"Ya' wanna know why they were different, and we didn't manage? Why they got stuff done while we're still strugglin'? Why Ponyville changed, Appleoosa changed, this Empire we're friggen standin' in changed and is still changein' for the better? What's the difference? Why'd they get stuff done when we all tried so hard? Why were they special? It ain't like we didn't try, we did! It ain't like we didn't care, we did! It ain't like we weren't special, we are! Ya' wanna know what made them succeed where we just plain didn't? You wanna know why the changelings are just the same as they were? You wanna know why yer' about to make the worst mistake of yer' life for the fourth time runnin'!? Ah'll tell you..."

So enraptured, so held by her words, none of them even noticed when the door to the room opened.

"They kept tryin'."

Three words, and everything, everyone, stopped.

They waited for her to catch her breath, for the throbbing in her chest to reduce enough she could speak again to them one and all, and most of all they waited for the fire to die down.

"They kept tryin'."

One out of three wasn't bad.

6/??

>>28992322

"Every time we got goin', somethin' happened, and we stopped. Every time, somethin' slipped us back, and Ah' stopped fightin'. Ah' didn't trust you, again and again. Chrysalis... no matter what ya' did, Ah' didn't trust you, and... Ah' didn't keep trying."

She looked up again, finally, true sadness in her eyes, even though she kept her smile.

"Ah' didn't trust you, and maybe you didn't deserve it back then. Maybe you were bad, and they did what Ah' couldn't have done in a million years."

She didn't need to point them out. Off to the side, holding each other tightly with warmth and caring, they knew who they were, and they were touched.

"Maybe they were special, more than Ah' could ever be... but that don't matter, cause it ain't why Ah' failed, and it ain't why Ah' kept failing. It's cause... Ah' stopped tryin'. Just once or twice, just for a little bit, but... ya' can't do that..."

Her eyes grew sadder, and her smile wavered, but nothing could stop her.

Whatever may come, she was letting it all out.

"Ah' never figured it out, Ah' never realized it. When Ah' failed with you, when Ah' failed Sunset, when Ah' failed Equestria, when Ah' failed with..."

Her throat clenched, trying to silence her, but she could not let it. Her body would not stop her, no more than anything save the end of the world itself could.

"Ah' failed, over and over, cause Ah' stopped tryin', just for a little bit. Never noticed cause there was always somethin' else, always someone else, always another threat, and always someone who is gonna rise up and take the stage. Ah' failed cause Ah' let mah'self get distracted, and forget. Cause Ah' forgot rule one of bein' on the farm... ya' watch out fer' yer' crops. One bad day, that's all it takes, and the whole thing gets ruined. Ah' forgot that... Ah' forgot a lot of things."

Her hoof, shaking, reached up to the Queen, never touching, never closing those last few inches, just reaching.

7/??

>>28992326

"Don't stop tryin' again. Ah' know, yer' scared. Ah' know, ya' don't know what's gonna happen, Ah' know, it's bad... but it's always gonna be bad. It's always gonna have bad things. It's never gonna be happy and perfect, not completely. There's gonna be moments in there, but those moments aren't there to remind you everythin is fine, they're there to remind you... there's a reason to keep fighting, even when ya' want to stop."

Her head dipped down, and something else dripped down with it.

"They're growin', they're gettin' stronger, they're changin'. But if ya' tear up those roots now, they're just gonna wither, and even if ya' think you can just put them back... there's always another storm on the horizon, Chrysalis. You... you keep tryin', like Ah' said, Ah' admire that about you. You get knocked down and then you just shake it off and get right back up. Whole world turns against you and then you just okay a field trip. Ya' ain't stoppin'... but yer' usin' it wrong. Ya' ain't supposed to give up and then start again, yer' supposed to have that the whole way through. Use that dang stubbornness for once the whole way through, and don't give up."

The princess never looked up.

The Queen could see her all she needed to.

"Keep tryin'... like he did."

She looked back, to where a certain little changeling was shuffled back, trying to hide away, trying not to be seen.

"He kept tryin', and it don't matter the reasons one, but he did... and he made somethin' worthwhile, somethin' that's gonna stick around... even if somethin' bad happens."

He failed in that, just as badly as he failed to hide it when tears began to come.

"He made that, cause ya' let him. Whatever yer' reasons, ya' didn't stop him... and he made the most of it."

The saw as the black face strained when she looked back, trying to hide in whatever it was that was bubbling away beneath the surface.

8/??

>>28992330

"He did it... and he didn't do it alone, none of them could've on their own. None of them needed to, cause they had each other. That's the difference, that's where they got it right. It wasn't just one who thought they had to do it all... and they never, ever stopped tryin'."

For once, it was the Queen who was left silent, no matter how hard she tried to force her lips to open and speak.

"So please... Chrysalis... no, all of you! Remember that!"

She spun around so fast her hooves skidded on the ground. She couldn't even focus, couldn't see a face one, and it didn't matter, she had to see them all, as fast as she could.

"We ain't gotta do this alone, even iffin' we don't know how to help. We get better when we don't give up, and dang it we gotta stick together! Not just our groups, all of us. We don't have to hold the whole world on our shoulders till we break and become unable to handle it anymore!"

In the crowd, a certain glowing, ethereal mane lowered.

"We ain't gotta let the past weigh us down when so many wanna help us go forwards!"

Beside her, holding her sister tight, a moonlight mane joined it.

"We ain't just the Elements of Harmony, or the Royals of Equestria, or the Changelings or Ponies or whatever, we're not alone dang it... we ain't gotta do it all alone. If Ah'd remember that... if Ah' did..."

She didn't care what their faces looked like.

She couldn't see them through the blur anyway.

"Then none of this would've happened... and they'd all be right here with us, and they'd be happy. They're gone, they fought us, they're threatenin' us... cause we gave up... no more."

Her hoof stamped down, the power in it enough to shake the castle itself, rattling straight to the city below so all could hear.

9/??

>>28992336

"Iffin' Ah'm bringin' her back in chains, that's fine. If we gotta break every one of that dang Titan's legs and push her back, fine too. Iffin' we gotta fight to the end and save 'em that way, that's fine too. But here's what we're not gonna do! We're not gonna give up, and we're not gonna wait for it to happen again!'

Who she pointed to with her wild hoof, none knew.

If it mattered or not, every one of them knew.

"We've got the smartest, strongest, and dang best finders thinkers and shakers in the world here, and it ain't one us that's gotta fix it, cause we ain't alone! None of us are alone! None of us have to wait! Whatever we can do, we do. Whereever we can help, we help, and we don't give up and get distracted. Fer' lands sakes, iffin' we can handle a dang crazy chaos thing made up of a half dozen parts, we can multitask a bit! We're gonna start again, now, and we're gonna find them, we're gonna find those that disappeared, and whatever happens, we're not gonna give up, and dang it, we're gonna fix it! We can fix anything, no matter how bad, if we just don't give up!"

She could barely breath when she blinked away the blurriness, could barely even stand.

Could barely keep her jaw off the ground, when she saw Rarity, Pinkie, Twilight, Fluttershy and Dash all staring at her, the latter three having come in before she could even think.

"We... we just gotta keep tryin'."

Her breath hadn't returned when she looked back to the Queen, her throat felt raw, and her head spun.

Somehow, through it all, she managed one final thing to say.

"Don't stop tryin'..."

She felt cold when she finally let it all out, and she ended up standing alone.

That cold was chased away, replaced with so much warmth, when she a body at her side.

10/??

>>28992344

"Chrysalis... I gave up on Sunset when she needed me, and I had good reason to. She hurt me and betrayed me, but instead of fixing it, or making it better... I just gave up, and cut her off. She was hurt, she was scared, she had gone through something terrible that I'd never known, and when she needed me, I turned her away, and I failed her. When she needed me to bring her back, I took her on all alone, and made her suffer until another could do what I couldn't. I tried to do everything, and only managed nothing. That's why she's here today, as much as it was Applejack giving up... don't make the same mistake."

The purple alicorn's words fractured that stare, but she would not break yet.

"I gave up believing in my friends when my powers grew, and because of that... I nearly destroyed the world. It's my fault that Discord got like he was, and it's all because I pulled away... Don't make that mistake."

Another break from the yellow pony, but she would not crack.

"I gave up when Partyland went down, I thought for sure I messed up and should never try again.. but all that did was make it so nobody believed me, when I said I could make it work. I gave up and let myself think I couldn't succeed... Don't make the same mistake."

The tall changeling stepped back from the pink pony, but she couldn't get away.

"I gave up when I reached the Captain of the Wonderbolts. I made it, I thought the work was over, I didn't realize that getting something is one thing, maintaining it is so much more, and they won't believe in you, if you don't give them a reason to... don't make the same mistake."

She was trapped, when the rainbow maned pegasus closes in.

"Darling, every time something good happened, every time I needed to go forwards, I made a mistake, and when I did I slipped back to as I was, hopeful I could keep trying later... but later never came. I never made it, and I never accepted those who deserved another chance... don't make the same mistake."

11/13

>>28992355

She was surrounded, even with so much room beside the six mares who stared at her, waiting.

"We know yer' scared."

"We know that what came before makes it seem impossible."

"We know it's bad now."

"We know it can get worse."

"But you can't stop trying."

"Otherwise... you'll fail like we did."

Against them all, and against their words, she tried to hold.

"Don't give up."

She broke.

When she looked across the room, she broke.

She saw the six mares, those who had once been her mortal enemies, now waiting for her to accept their help.

She saw those who she had hated, and hated her right back, who she now called friend.

She saw the changelings, both of them now in regalia of a guard, defenders, building something, making a difference.

Finally, she saw those who had every reason to hate her, fear her, and despise her, and instead they only had one thing for her. Love.

She saw them all, and she broke.

"...What if they all fall?"

No one body rose up.

All of them, if they were able or not, rose up.

"Then we'll be there."

"Because you're not alone."

Two voices, from the ones who meant so much to her, were enough.

"Not-mom..."

She nearly jumped, her scream only stalled when her throat closed shut, at the hoof on her leg.

"We can do it..."

The hoof, and the confident, if small, smile of the changeling princess.

"Cause we ain't alone anymore."

She wasn't putting it together after that.

"...what do you propose I do then?"

There was no malice in her voice, no bile, no hate.

Only an emotion that made them smile.

"Well, fer' starters..."

Princess Applejack, and for the very first time she felt that title apt, smiled.

She smiled wide as she turned towards the open door, where a pair of thunderous hooves could be heard coming down the hallway.

"Since Thirty Two is missing, think we need someone to take his place. And ya' know..."

12/13

>>28992362

She didn't know how she knew it was them.

Only that when the mass of black bodies carrying a white pony with them rushed in, babbling something intolerance about "Asylum!" or some such nonsense to the batponies on their tail, she wasn't surprised in the least.

"That feller might know a thing or two about keepin' at it."

The incredulous look on the Queen's face made it all worthwhile.

"Chrysalis... what do ya' say?"

She looked down to her former foe. Her greatest rival, her eternal thorn in her side, and the one who had beat the everloving love out of her once upon a time. She, Queen Chrysalis, regarded her, Princess Applejack, as she was.

"...Do you have a plan?"

And the ghost of a smile appeared.

"Nope."

One that almost, just almost, turned into a glare.

"But weren't you listenin'? Ah'm not doin' this alone no more... you ready to hear some ideas?"

She spoke to all of them with that. Every one of them heard.

The changeling alone wasn't the only one who smiled.

They had stumbled.

They had fallen.

They had lost.

They had failed.

This time was different.

"Bring them on."

This time, they were together.

And they wouldn't give up.

"Let's bring those knuckledheads home."

The GBs only got sucked up because they are in the middle of the body replacement ark. I would assume that we aren't being relied on to finish that for him.

....aaaaaaaaa...

....aaaaaAAAAAA...

...AAAAAAAAAAA...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

AAAAAAAAWWWWEEESSSSOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMEEEE!

HOLY SHIT FUCK YEA! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT YOU MADMAN!

ALL OF THE ELEMENTS

AND THEY GAVE UP AND NOW WORK TOGETHER AND THE ETERNAL CHANGELING PONY HATEBISBLOWNNAWAY AND THE SISTERS AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Can you feel it?!


Can you feel the FUCKING love, pals! That's it! This is it! This is the shit! This is the arrival of the end, the climax!

THIS. IS. APPLE.


Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah!

HYPE!

>>28992368
Amazing. The sheer level of continuity required to pull off this scene is just breathtaking, as is your ability to link it all together.

Just out of curiosity, how close are we to being able to timeskip? Dash needs to talk to Spits, HH and Zanta need to resolve or enter a holding pattern. Anything else?

>>28992482
Holy shit yes we really need to do a time skip soon. It's high time.

>>28992482
Let's see... I guess they'll probably just make Acty new ambassador, with the NCanoning from last thread Chitty and Sunset can hold, there's really nothing major left.

Except Fleetfoot.

We gotta have someone go talk to the poor thing.

>>28992368
>We somehow collaboratively created a time line where NEVER GIVE UP, ALWAYS FGHT FOR TOMORROW has come together to be a thing

I am... kinda speechless and amazed right now.

>>28992482
>>28992503
Let's round up the last few open ends and do this time skip thing already

>>28992515
Should we try to aim for a solid goal, like the end of this thread, or let it evolve more naturally? Because if we do the latter, we could end up with one or two lines draeing everything out while everyone else just sits around waiting and not wanting to start anything.

>>28992482
I can put HH and Zanta in a good pattern for a time skip, no problem.

>>28992515
Are we time-skipping with the start of a new thread or what?

>>28992527
I'd say set a hard goal of "By the end of the thread", gives us a set pace for our stories, we know we have to get ready, and nobody feels throttled back to slow down, and we can start preparing ideas and stories for next thread. End-Of-Thread is the best time.

Personal idea, we skip ahead so we can do Hearth's Warming stories.

>>28992527
>>28992544
>>28992565

Next thread: TIMESKIP, fillies and gentlecolts.

Get your luggage all packed up, wrap up any last businesses and don't start anything new.

We are about to head into a glorious new future with uncertain developments. The final Key of Harmony, the fate of the Elements, Light Hell, Flurry Heart, Chitania's Armor, Sunset's secret Project, AU!Applejack, Ambassador Actarius, Party land 2, The Wonderbolt Tournament, Equality Village, Equestria Games and so so much more... it will all come to a head when we come back post timeskip.

But I couldn't ask for a better crew to go forth into it with.

>>28992585
>all that shit and the inevitable shit to be born once the previous shit is done
So basically we've got enough work to last until our children can take over? Cool.

>>28992598

We'll travel the road of generations
Joined by a common bond
We sing our song 'cross the human nation
For Equestria and beyond

We're Pals forever, Pals together
We're buddies, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Pals to the core

There's no place that I'd rather head
Than to write in my favorit' thread
Friends all around come to join and see
As we sing out across the land

We're Pals forever, Pals together
We're nuddies, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Pals to the core

We're peas in a pod, we're thick as thieves
Any cliché you can throw at me
We're here for each other, through thick and thin
You're always welcome with your Pal kin
Wheeeeee!

We're more fun than the color pink
Or balloons flying over your favorite drink
The companionship we feel here is swim, not sink
As we party across this land

All right!

We're Pals forever, Pals together
We're buddies, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Pals to the core!

>>28992653
That fit way too perfect.

>>28992598
10 to 1 they still don't make it to the equestrian games.

>>28992368
Glorious

>>28992368
I see what you were saying before, if Sunset had died or if she had broken up her alliance, This would all have rang a lot more Hollow.

If we DO make a timeskip, a lot of 'this is what happened since then' stories will have to take place, won't they?

Stuff like New Armor Chitty, Flurry Heart ambling about already and what have you.

Also...

>>28992565
>skip ahead so we can do Hearth's Warming stories.
If this is to be the case, I'd like 13 to be a guest over at her Mom's new place. Is it feasible?

>>28992717

>"Let's bring those knuckleheads home."

>Cut to closed casket double funeral.

>>28992718
We're not going to regulate something like Chitty-Armor to "It happened in there and she just has it now", if anything we should use the timeskip to explain how it got built and the trial and error used to make it.

I'd say not having FH be born yet, just because a birth like that is obviously a big thing that would mean a BIG thing to this world, so it's better if we actually get to see it. This also lets us do "Caddy is fat and pregnant" stories right off the bat, which shockingly we never did with batmom due to the Cordy-skip.

>I'd like 13 to be a guest over at her Mom's new place. Is it feasible?

I don't see how unless she's sneaking out.

>>28992729
Agreed, TimeSkip to explain Chitty-Armor's development, Caddy being so very close to giving birth so it can be a big story moment, possibly during an arc, and Alterjack showing up afterwards, not during.

>>28992727
>closed

You fool! If you don't see the body then it didn't happen!

"I'm the pretty one. <3"

'I'm the grumpy one.'

>And I'm the crazy one!

>"'Now for our main segment...MAIL TIME!!!'"

[Yay.]

Cadence pulls out a letter.
"Gumdrop writes, I really love Ms. Fluttershy. I'm so glad you brought her in."

[Oh uh th-thank you.]

"Dawnstar writes, Fluttershy is the prettiest on the show. Can you make her the pretty- NO!"

[Oh my.]

"Lemon Meringue writes, My friend gave me this really shaggy self-moving towel. It's great when I need to wipe or dry myself on the go since it follows me around, but it always makes this ARF noise when I use it. Do you know what's wrong with it?"

'Lapis, are you high!? That's-'

[THAT IS A DOG! THAT'S NOT A TOWEL AND IT'S NOT FOR YOUR TO DRY YOURSELF WITH! THAT IS A LIVING CREATURE THAT'S FOLLOWING YOU! ARE YOU EVEN FEEDING IT?! NO OF COURSE NOT! YOU CAN'T BE!

DT turns her head confused.
'...what just happened?'

'Nightguard'
~Changelings~
(Acty's mom)
{Acty's dad}
~~~~~

The standoff was tense.

The changelings, weapons drawn on one side. The other side stood the nightguard, their own weapons out and ready to fight. A half dozen had joined the two who had been 'abducting' their 'idiot', and the changelings didn't seem worried at all.

It worried the nightguard plenty.

>Now, guys, let's not get into a fight!

"Yeah! That'll only make things worse, probably!"

>Trust me, I know getting more guys involved seems like a good idea at the time, but if you do it wrong this whole thing becomes a mess!

"Just bodies flying everywhere doing whatever and nobody is having any fun!"

>It's the worst, keep it personal!

The changelings ignored him, the one in front continuing to tap his bat against his hoof.

'He's right, you should stand down, before someone gets hurt.'

That tapping stopped, and he smiled.

~Yeah... you.~

The nightguard did not.

'This could count as an act of war, you know.'

~Warcrime, what we're about to do to you is a war crime. Even we know that.~

'That's... not better.'

~Yeah, but it sounds so much cooler.~

'...Okay?'

(DO SOMETHING ALREADY!)

{Honey-biscuit!}

(Don't you honey-biscuit me! I want to see some damn action and I want to see my son take a pounding!)

{HEAVENS!}

The massive stallion looked ready to faint.

>Nobody is pounding anybody, especially not in public!

"Yeah! And if anyone is going to get pounded, it's me!"

>JJ no.

"I'm full of love and I can take a hit, damn it!"

~That's alright, won't be necessary.~

The nightguard, as one, tensed.

'And why is that?'

~Because this ain't gonna last long.~

They bent low, and got ready to fly.

'Oh yeah?'

~Yeah, hard to fight... when there'sASMOKEBOMBATTACK!~

TSSS!

'IT BURNS!'

In the smoke that made them gag, the dozen or so changelings dove in, before hauling ass out the other end with Actarius held high above their heads.

1/2

>>28997574

>WHAT THE HAY!?

~HA HA!~

~SUCKEEERRRRS!~

~CHANGELINGS RULE, PONIES DROOL!~

~I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT SHIT YOU GUYS ARE SO DUMB!~

~DURRR! AH'MMA GUARD! HURR HURR!~

~HA HAAA!~

The pony's parents stared openly as their son was carried away, disappearing into the distance before they could even register what had happened.

(...what.)

{Acty-whacky! Where are they taking him!?}

Even as far away as they were, he heard when they called back.

~ASYLUM BITCHESSSS!~

~NO JURISDICTION!~

{Oh... have fun, then! See you later, Acty! I'll send more butterscotch muffins to wherever, just get me your address-aw, he's gone.}

(You're still sending him those?)

{He needs to eat! He's getting all skinny and I don't like it one bit!}

(He needs to eat real food!)

{Love is real, and it's in every muffin!}

(Love is not sustenance!)

"Er..."

The smoke cleared, revealing one certain changeling had been left behind.

"Technically..."

He stared, they stared, it was awkward.

"...I'm gonna go after him now."

(You do that.)

It was another awkward second before his wings buzzed, and he took off.

(...So when are the Nightguard-)

'AFTER HIIIIIMMM!'

As one, they took off into the sky from their smokey cloud, and like a hoard of winged monsters descended in the direction he had gone.

(See, this is why we never got along. Losers.)

{You think Acty-Wacky will be okay?}

(If they try to pull something, I'll stab their fucking eyes out and fry their wings for a snack.)

{...I love you.}

(You too...snugglebear...)

{Awww.}

"Chrysalis"
'Actarius'
~Changelings~
~~~~

"...WHAT!?"

That pretty much summed it all up, as far as Chrysalis was concerned.

"So you realize this all sounds insane, right?"

Between them, the white earth pony nervously fidgeted. Although he was thankful when the royals had stepped forth, let him in, and sent away the nightguard on his tail after assuring them he was no longer a suspect, he couldn't keep his from eyes darting all around at the room full of royals that were so far above him they could all have him killed if they ever got in the right mood.

Not even an assassination threat either, most of them just plain had lasers.

He did not.

>Ah' know.

"No, I don't think you do, because you're seriously suggestion I make that-"

She pointed, and like magic it seemingly caused the stallion to shrink.

"-my ambassador! The Changeling ambassador! Changeling!... Changeling!... Do I have to repeat-"

>Ah' get the picture.

"Changeling ambassador! Of which, he is not!"

>Noticed.

"I don't think you do!"

>He's white.

"Ohhhh! We're going there!"

>...how am Ah' the racist one in this situation?

"Look, I'm sure he's just fine as a pony-"

>His name's-

"I know his freaking name is Actarius, shut up! But-"

>How in tarnation do you know that?

"He slept in my ballroom for months and is currently working in my embassy! You think I never thought to ask his name!?"

>It was a concern.

"I know everything about him!"

>Creepy.

"Hey, I wasn't risking him being a spy!"

>Cause he sure looks like the spy type.

"That's exactly what a Spy would look like!"

>...huh.

"Changeling! He can't be the changeling ambassador!"

>Who would you prefer instead?

"Eighteen!"

~HA HA HAAAA! Noooo.~

"Fine, Forty Two!"

>Then who's gonna be yer' general?

"...Fine! Sixteen!"

From the middle of the crowd just outside the door, a single head popped up.

~Why me?~

>You're Nineteen!

~I told you so!~

~I wanted to move up in the world.~

1/4

>>28998353

>Chrysalis? Ya'll know none of them got a dang idea in their head of how to do any of that.

"And he does!?"

>Ah'd hope so, seein' as how he's pretty much been runnin' the place thanks to... a lot of time off from Thirty Two. Like, a lot of it. Ah' get why he did it after he got shot, but most of this here is just random.

"How do you know that?!"

>He sends me reports all the dang time.

"Why would he do that!?"

>He likes me better.

The twitch that crossed the Queen's face warned of a step taken just a bit too far.

>Sorry.

"I can find a changeling to fit the role. Jugglejack, maybe? Does Jugglejack know how to do it? He spends a lot of time over there, he should know."

From the very, very back of the crowd, another head popped up.

~I'm mostly just there for Acty, I don't pay attention.~

"The one time I would have been happy I didn't set you on fire! The one time!"

While she groaned, a sad, sad changeling sunk back down.

>Chrysalis? Ya' said ya' wanted others ta' accept you more? Well, this'll help.

"How!? It's putting a pony in position of authority over changeling matters! Do you have any idea what kind of message that sends."

With all the speed of a falling feather, Applejack's eyes trailed over the to side.

Still in bed, a certain paperwork wiz of a changeling brushed her three colored mane, and huffed.

"That's different!"

Her eyes trailed over again, to a certain one eyed changeling who's head had begun to cock to the side.

"Different!'

Finally, it went over to the miniscule changeling trying to reset her trap, only to fail when it was prematurely set off by a nightguard captain with a need for chocolate that outweighed her common sense.

"Shut up."

When her eyes came back, she still hadn't said a word.

"...Well?"

Orange shoulders shrugged.

>>28998359

>It's yer' embassy Ah' guess. But look, fella is qualified, and apparently he's been helpin' out yer' lings for a while now learnin' how to read. He didn't have to, and lord knows it was probably a fight ta' even get them to do it, but one way or another half of yer' hive know what the sign that says "Danger" means, even iffin' they're gonna ignore it. Ya' wanna actually be thought of as not scary? Well, showin' ya think we're not so scary might help. Or might not, maybe some pony supremacists would take this the wrong way, and think it's a sign o' weakness. Ah' dunno, that's why Ah'm just suggestin' it. Take it or leave it. He fits, and he's an option, but he's just an option. Pick another ling iffin' ya' want, some of them could do it now since... ya' know, some of them can read.

Black lips pursed in annoyance, and in how little she had to counter a single thing Applejack said.

Her eyes cut over to the pony, who had been silently sitting and fidgeting this whole time, and who jumped when those eyes finally locked on him. She studied him, looking him over with a searching gaze, before she sighed.

"Do you actually know how to run the thing?"

What came out was more croak and squeak than actual language, but the message was clear, he did.

"...And would you all actually listen to him?"

A resounding "ehhhh" filled the crowd, with the exception of one emphatic "YES!" from the back.

~I mean, as much as we do Eighteen?~

~Yeah, that's a good bar.~

~So long as he does stuff and tells me what happens to the ghost!~

~He's dead.~

~SPOILERS!~

She ignored the punching sounds that followed, and turned back to the pony in front of her.

"...Very well. If you want the position... I will name you, Actarius Gregarious, temporary ambassador of the changelings for Canterlot."

3/4

>>28998365

His jaw dropped, eyes shrinking, and all that came out was a tiny little squeak.

"It's a big responsibility... don't let them down."

She gestured back to the crowd.

"They don't like that."

Beside the Queen, Applejack smiled in pride, and reached out to shake his rock-stiff hoof.

>Good job, fella... make us proud. Ya' got a big weight on yer' shoulders now, ya' gotta make sure we build up those bridges. Now don't be thinkin' ya' gotta do it alone, we'll be here for ya' and we'll watch ya' every step of the way... but we'll be here for you.

The former guard, now ambassador, stared ahead, shock freezing him, locking him in place.

~GOOD JOB, ACTY!~

It was only then, finally, that he smiled.

Applejack smiled.

And after some time, Chrysalis smiled as well.

Something new had happened, and a new journey had begun.

For all of them.

'...Is this a bad time to mention the Embassy is completely wrecked?'

Just as soon as they picked themselves off the floor.

"We'll pick up on it!"

"We'll figure it out."

"We'll figure it out."

I love how little everyone knows about everything, not because they aren't paying attention, but because so much shit happened so fast

>>28999662
I think the only one who has the full story is the guys who've been in bed for a damn week.

>>28999770
And poor Sunset doesn't know 29 is gone, but everyone think she did it

>>28999847
....oh shit, that's right.

Everyone might think she adopted him, but in reality she actually really likes the guy. He is seriously one of the few individuals who helped her out when she needed it, and she really appreciated him, he was nice even after the Trixie thing.

Annnnd now everyone thinks she abducted him and is probably going to call her out on it, and that's how she's going to learn he's 'dead'.

>>28999881
>>28999881
>she actually really likes the guy.
>She is going to learn he's 'dead'.

Well, fuck me sideways. Whenever no one is attempting to murder her, something always tries to break Sunset's spirit.

Faust must hate her guts or something, because this is beginning to border on nothing but cruelty.

>>28999881
Awww, that's gonna be a really sad reveal.

>GIVE US BACK TWENTY NINE AND THE OTHERS!

"HA! I'll never... w-wait what?"

>So... he is dead.

"WAIT WHAT!?"

>>28999940
Considering what happened to them, yeah, God might actually hate them this time.

>>28999942

Considering how often everyone has a drink, it could literally be anybody but Cadence

>>29000871
Well, there WAS that incident where a certain someone wrote a lovey dovey letter to Applejack while they were roaring drunk... it's just too bad it was torn to shreds. Things might have gone differently? Maybe...

>>29000834
There's a story here....
>>29000891
Set on fire, and I doubt things would have gone differently. At least, I hope not.

I like how, in this picture, she isn't that really drunk despite having the bottle next to her.

Excellent, man, I can totally see that.

>>29000942
She still knows her responsibilities.

>>29000942
>>29000950
I kinda looks like she nudged the bottle away from whomever decided to be her drinking buddy, what with her hoof on the table

Oh yeah, Centitrain guy... miss him.

Ah. Guys. I just remembered something. What about that whole plotpoint of Penny drop falling into complete despair and calling someone?

Also, Luna trying to find her...

>>29003133
We still don't know who she was calling, and Luna is looking for her, but doesn't know who she is.

>>29003168
So should either of those be resolved pre- or post time skip?

“And your means of accomplishing this, is to bring… these two.”

‘Finally, I was wondering when you guys would take me back!’

Nope, I'm still around. I've actually been debating on which area to take it, all these new twist and turns with the story has made me rethink my original plan Pretty hard. Every Time I think I have an idea, somebody else pulled out something shocking that I love to read, but makes me rethink where I want to take it. It's going to be resolved this thread, at least the letter thing, not her being found out by Luna, because that requires a big reveal with more set up.

Still alive! Just not sure where I'm going to go with it. But I will have an answer this thread.
