Chapter 15

Queen Chrysalis launched a magic blast at Twilight Sparkle only for it to ricochet off a magic shield. Twilight Sparkle launched an arching magic pulse toward Chrysalis whose horn sliced through the wave causing it to pass harmlessly. Twilight Sparkle rolled to the side avoiding Chrysalis's magic wave; then Twilight Sparkle started to rise into the air on a levitating rock.

"You are powerful aren't you," Chrysalis hissed, "Celestia would be proud." Twilight Sparkle sent a shower of rocks streaking toward Chrysalis which bounced off her magic shield. Twilight Sparkle was surrounded by an aura of magic her eyes white orbs of magic. Chrysalis was suddenly driven to the ground as she was surrounded by a magic binding; chains of pure magic latched on to her hooves. Banishment, Chrysalis thought as she struggled against the restraints.

"The last spell Celestia taught me," Twilight Sparkle said.

"Changelings, converge on me," Chrysalis hummed. Changelings flew in from all directions landing on the ledge. Rainbow Dash rammed into a Changeling that was flying toward Twilight Sparkle. A Changeling launched a magic blast at Twilight Sparkle who swerved away causing her spell to disrupt. Twilight Sparkle launched her own missile at the Changeling knocking it out of the air. Twilight Sparkle turned around to see Chrysalis charging at her. Wildheart leaped onto Chrysalis' back driving her to the ground. Wildheart gripped Chrysalis' wings preventing her from flying.

"Twilight, take the shot," Wildheart shouted as Chrysalis struggle against his grip. Chrysalis squirmed as Twilight Sparkle's horn started to glow. Chrysalis lurched forward avoiding Twilight Sparkle's magic blast causing it to catch Wildheart in the face. Wildheart tumble off Chrysalis half-dazed only to stop inches off the ground. Chrysalis launched Wildheart at Twilight Sparkle sending both tumbling. Twilight Sparkle's horn glowed catching Wildheart as he tumbled over the edge of the cliff.

"I've got you," Twilight Sparkle said; although she had never met Wildheart before he had saved her life. Twilight Sparkle grimmest in pain as Chrysalis's hoof kicked her in the side. Twilight Sparkle was rolled over to face Chrysalis.

"Know Twilight, I've got you," Chrysalis hissed. Chrysalis pinned Twilight Sparkle down with her magic causing Twilight Sparkle's spell to disrupt causing Wildheart to drop down the slop. Chrysalis drove one of her holed hooves on top of Twilight Sparkle.

"Twilight," Rainbow Dash called flying toward Chrysalis only to slam into a magic barrier. Rainbow Dash pounded on the barrier trying to get through; Chrysalis turned to Rainbow Dash.

"Surrender," Chrysalis ordered "or I will crush the life from Twilight Sparkle like an egg." Twilight Sparkle strained her neck to glance at Rainbow Dash.

"I'm sorry, Twilight," Rainbow Dash said; then turning to Chrysalis added, "I surrender."

"That's what I like about you ponies," Chrysalis said lifting her hoof off Twilight Sparkle. Then Chrysalis drove her crooked horn through Twilight Sparkle's chest.

"No," Rainbow Dash wailed as Chrysalis flung Twilight off her horn and into a wall.

"Twilight," Rainbow Dash called.

"Don't worry you're next," Chrysalis said levitating Rainbow Dash toward her. Suddenly a silver flash went off in the distance. Both Rainbow Dash and Chrysalis turned to see a bright silver streak streaming across the sky towards them. Rainbow Dash caught sight of Weaving Silver before she slammed head first into Chrysalis causing Rainbow Dash to drop to the ground.

"I will not let you destroy Equestria," Weaving Silver vowed; while on top of Chrysalis.

"Aw, isn't that cute," Chrysalis hissed batting Weaving Silver away and into the wall. Pain went through Weaving Silver's tail as Chrysalis stomped down on it preventing her from moving.

"I know that you are resistant to changeling magic," Chrysalis said her horn beginning to glow "but that only allows the pain to last longer." Chrysalis then unleashed a blast of magic searing into Weaving Silver.

"You are a weak fool," Chrysalis sneered encasing Weaving Silver in a globe of magic causing intense pain to go through her entire body.

"Weaving," Rainbow Dash called charging toward Chrysalis only to bounce off a magic shield.

"My, my, Weaving Silver, you sure do have devoted friends," Chrysalis complemented as she continued her cruel attack on Weaving Silver who was now barely conscious. Chrysalis frowned at her victim below her; she had expected to have more fun with this particular specimen. So Chrysalis decided to go with provoking Weaving Silver.

"This is disappointing, Weaving Silver," Chrysalis scolded, "I thought you would put up more of a fight being half changeling and possessing my blood." "But sadly it seems I was wrong." Chrysalis levitated Weaving Silver inches away from her slowly suffocating her.

"Come on, Weaving don't be stubborn, show me the power that lies within you," Chrysalis changed "for you don't have long to live."

"No I won't," Weaving Silver gasped before collapsing limply in the sphere.

"What was that, Weaving," Chrysalis sneered dangling Weaving Silver in front of her.

"I don't think I heard you," Chrysalis sneered before flinging Weaving Silver's limp body off the side of the cliff.

"Weaving," Rainbow Dash cried, pounding on the force field before her. Once again Rainbow Dash had been left unable to help a friend.

"What," Chrysalis hissed turning to Rainbow Dash "I thought you didn't care for her anymore." Rainbow Dash's eyes flashed as she prepared to give her life just as so many of her friends had.

"Brave, but foolish," Chrysalis mused as she walked around the cliff ignoring Rainbow Dash. Chrysalis stalked over to Twilight's motionless body. Suddenly Rainbow Dash zoomed forward in between Chrysalis and her friend's body.

"Touch her and you die," Rainbow Dash growled.

"Is that so," Chrysalis hissed; then her magic slammed into Rainbow Dash knocking her away. Chrysalis then placed her hoof on top of Twilight's body.

"Oh look, I'm touching her," Chrysalis taunted scraping her hoof down Twilight's body. Suddenly Rainbow Dash slammed into Chrysalis only to bounce off the hard changeling hide.

"Really, you tried that," Chrysalis mused placing her other hoof on top of Rainbow Dash applying presser to the cyan Pegasus.

"Chrysalis," rasped a voice turning Chrysalis to see Weaving Silver floating onto the cliff.

"You just won't die will you," Chrysalis hissed.

"I'm stubborn, remember," Weaving Silver replied with a smile.

"After I'm through with you," Chrysalis hissed stalking toward Weaving Silver "you'll wish you stayed out of this."

"No, Chrysalis, you will wish you never seduced my father," Weaving Silver growled a green glow in her eyes. Chrysalis narrowed her eyes and launched a blast of green energy at Weaving Silver, but with the ability to maneuver she dodged to the side. Weaving Silver leaped over a second blast then landed in a roll to avoid a third blast.

"Not so powerful against a moving target are you, Chrysalis," Weaving Silver taunted.

"Think you're so fast, Weaving," Chrysalis hissed "let's do something about that." Chrysalis turned and shot a blast at the rock face above Twilight's body. Weaving Silver shot forward catching the rock on her back shielding Twilight from the shower. A blast of energy slammed into Weaving Silver sending jolts through her body. Weaving Silver ignored the pain however still lifting the rock off the ground. Rainbow Dash ducked under the rock and gently lifted Twilight out from under. Weaving Silver grimmest as she thrust the rock off her back, and leaped into the air narrowly avoiding a blast of energy. Chrysalis' hoof slammed into Weaving Silver pinning her against the rocky cliff.

"Now, let's try this again," Chrysalis said her horn glowing; then an apple hit Chrysalis in the head. Chrysalis turned to see Applejack coming forward with Rarity, Fluttershy, Wildheart, and the rest of the Resistance behind.

"I'm not finished with this pest yet," Chrysalis hissed annoyed; as she launched a blast of energy at Applejack. Applejack skidded to a halt as the blast collided with a magical force field. Chrysalis stared at the glowing field that repealed her magic. Chrysalis turned back to Weaving Silver to find that the changeling horn had appeared on her forehead, and glowed with magic.

"Surprise," Weaving Silver said launching a bolt of energy into Chrysalis causing her to back away. Weaving Silver landed her sides heaving as her horn disappeared.

"Twilight," Applejack cried as she caught sight of the body.

"Get her out of here," Weaving Silver instructed not taking her eyes off Chrysalis. The others did as they were told, but Wildheart still stood beside Weaving Silver.

"I'm not leaving," Wildheart insisted. Weaving Silver turned to him the one pony who trusted her completely; even though he knew what she was.

"Please go," Weaving Silver begged.

"I won't leave you to die by Chrysalis' cruel hooves," Wildheart argued.

"I'm sorry but you don't have a choice in this," Weaving Silver said as she forced Wildheart into the resistance's base with her magic and closed the magic door.

"Now it's just you and me," Weaving Silver said turning to Chrysalis. Weaving Silver charged toward Chrysalis; ducking under a blast and launched a hoof into Chrysalis' muzzle driving her upward. Chrysalis spun in the sky and glared down at Weaving Silver below her. Weaving Silver launched after Chrysalis and collided with the changeling queen in a blast of green. Chrysalis had caught Weaving Silver and now she dived toward the ground. Chrysalis drove Weaving Silver into the ground with so much force the whole cliff shook violently. Chrysalis stood up half dazed herself as she looked down at the crater Weaving Silver was embedded in. Chrysalis reached down and shook Weaving Silver; to find no movement.

"That was too easy," Chrysalis said as she walked away from the crater. Chrysalis turned to the rock face the resistance had disappeared behind.

"Come out," Chrysalis called "you have lost."

"Not quite yet," Weaving Silver grimmest; turning Chrysalis to stare stunned as Weaving Silver rose shakily to her hooves.

"You are impossible," Chrysalis growled as she stalked back to Weaving Silver.

"I refuse to die while you still live," Weaving Silver vowed. Chrysalis narrowed her eyes then launched a blast of energy at Weaving Silver sending the weakened Pegasus through the stone wall.

"Weaving," Rainbow Dash called as she and Wildheart dashed over to her broken body. The determined look was still printed on Weaving Silver's face.

"She, she can't be dead," Rainbow Dash said "she deserves to live for much more than to die like this." Wildheart gazed down sadly at Weaving Silver, no words could describe how he now felt. He had known Weaving Silver since she was a filly vowing to her father that he would protect her. I'm sorry Celestia I failed, Wildheart thought as he knelt over Weaving Silver. Suddenly hope entered Wildheart as the light seemed to return to Weaving Silver's eyes. Weaving Silver sat up her broken bones cracking back in place.

"Weaving, stop," begged Rainbow Dash and Wildheart together "you're killing yourself."

"I won't die while Chrysalis lives," Weaving Silver vowed again rising to her hooves.

"I won't let you kill yourself," Rainbow Dash said stepping in front of Weaving Silver.

"Why?" Weaving Silver asked narrowing her eyes.

"What," Rainbow Dash asked blinking.

"Why this sudden change," Weaving Silver asked "three days ago you wanted me dead."

"Weaving, I…," Rainbow Dash started.

"Don't you start with the whole I'm sorry tactic," Weaving Silver snapped.

"I'm not letting you pass," Rainbow Dash said standing in front of Weaving Silver.

"Don't get in my way," Weaving Silver growled.

"Twilight," Applejack shouted from the back of the cavern. Weaving Silver turned to see ponies hunched over the purple unicorn. Weaving Silver sighed then worked her way over to Twilight's body. Applejack turned blocking Weaving Silver's path.

"Move please," Weaving Silver asked.

"Get away," Applejack hissed.

"I can help her," Weaving Silver argued.

"How can you, she's dead," Applejack growled.

"Please let me help," Weaving Silver begged. Applejack looked about to refuse, but when she looked deep in Weaving Silver's eyes she could see that Weaving Silver meant what she said.

"Alright," Applejack agreed, "but be careful with Twilight." Weaving Silver nodded then crouched down in front of Twilight Sparkle's body. A faint pale yellow light encircled Weaving Silver and Twilight. A faint outline of a pony flowed out of Weaving Silver and descended into Twilight Sparkle's body. Applejack watched in awe as Twilight Sparkle's eyes blinked open.

"Twilight," shouted voices from everypony. Twilight Sparkle rose to her hooves and turned to her friends in turn. Finally Twilight Sparkle turned to Weaving Silver who hung back.

"What happened," Twilight Sparkle gasped, "was I."

"Dead, yes," Weaving Silver answered.

"Then how am I still alive," Twilight Sparkle asked, quickly adding "not that I'm complaining."

"She brought you back to life," Applejack answered.

"What," Twilight Sparkle gasped turning back to Weaving Silver who bowed her head. Twilight Sparkle walked over to Weaving Silver placing her hoof on Weaving Silver's head.

"Thank you, Weaving Silver," Twilight Sparkle said. Weaving Silver looked into Twilight Sparkle's eyes.

"I brought you something," Weaving Silver said as she conjured the chest of the Elements in front of her.

"The Elements of Harmony," Twilight Sparkle gasped, "but how only Celestia can open the Canterlot Tower."

"Never mind that put them on," Weaving Silver replied. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash slipped the necklaces on and Twilight Sparkle fitted the tiara on.

"We need Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter," Applejack said.

"Here I am," called the cheerful voice of Pinkie Pie as she bounced over to the rest of the mane six.

"Pinkie," Fluttershy gasped.

"Fluttershy, oh it's you," Pinkie Pie shouted grabbing Fluttershy in a huge bear-hug. A boom at the entrance caused everypony to turn to see Chrysalis standing before them.

"Ready, girls," Twilight Sparkle said.

"How," Chrysalis gasped when she noticed Twilight Sparkle, "I killed you."

"You did, Chrysalis," answered the mane six together, "And that was your biggest mistake, your majesty." The Mane Six stood before Chrysalis the Elements shining then exploded in a blast of rainbow light.

"No," Chrysalis shrieked as the Elements of Harmony blasted into her. Chrysalis was blasted through the entrance of the Resistance and launched out across Equestria. The Mane Six were lowered onto the cavern floor.

"We did it," shouted the Resistance, "Chrysalis is defeated." Weaving Silver smiled but hung back as the Resistance moved in to the Mane Six.

"Hold on, hold on, everypony," Rainbow Dash interrupted suddenly causing Weaving Silver to brighten. Rainbow Dash trotted over to Weaving Silver.

"Without Weaving Silver, Twilight Sparkle would still be dead and we would still be fighting," Rainbow Dash announced, "I want to hear a round of cheers for, Weaving."

"Me too," Fluttershy piped in trotting over to Rainbow Dash and Weaving Silver, "Thank you, Weaving."

"You brought me back to life, Weaving Silver," Twilight Sparkle said trotting up to Weaving Silver, "I can not thank you enough." By the time Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie trotted up Weaving Silver was feeling uncomfortable under all the stares. After all the long years of solitude and rejection; smiles of acceptance were almost too much for Weaving Silver to bear.

"Thank you, Weaving Silver," applauded the Resistance.

"I don't know what to say everypony," Weaving Silver murmured tears coming to her eyes. Then Weaving Silver no longer cared what happened; for the first time in her life she finally had friends and a home.

"Congratulations, my subjects," called a voice turning everypony to see Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence standing in the cavern entrance.

"Princess Celestia," Twilight Sparkle gasped as she galloped over to Celestia.

"You have all prevailed over Chrysalis' tyranny," Princess Celestia congratulated, "And learned a valuable lesson in Friendship in the process." The Resistance parted to reveal Weaving Silver who hide her gaze from the Princesses.

"Acceptance is big part in Friendship," the Princesses said, "for friends are not always what you would expect." "Weaving Silver, step forward please," beckoned the Princesses. Weaving Silver moved over to the Princesses still averting her gaze.

"For your perseverance through self-doubt we gladly welcome you as a member of our subjects," the Princesses said. Weaving Silver slowly turned her gaze upon the Princesses.

"Your offer is generous," Weaving Silver began, "but I respectfully and regretfully have to decline your offer." Princess Celestia tilted her head at Weaving Silver rejection, and the Resistance looked on in silence.

"Weaving," Rainbow Dash started as she stared at Weaving Silver.

"I was born into the binding hoof of Chrysalis' leadership," Weaving Silver explained, "I respectfully request that I live my life in freedom."

"We understand your decision, Weaving Silver, and we will grant you your request," the Princesses agreed.

"Thank you," Weaving Silver answered.
