Chapter 2: the siege

Canterlot was indeed in trouble because of the changeling siege, as twilight saw when she got off the train, last major duel they had with the changelings the 6 ponies got captured; this time they had a chaotic god on their side. They plowed right through the changeling army; until they got to the tower where all the elements were kept. The army in there was far better trained; twilight hoped that they could get help soon.

Lightning was just entered canterlot when he saw an army of changelings, "By celestia's BEARD!" he heard sketch say. The changelings then turned into figures of twilight and friends, "We need to get to the tower!" pocketbook called, "First, we need to deal with these creeps!" lightning shouted, "I hope they brought awesome repellant!" lightning yelled out, the three ponies were going to have their hooves full, lightning bucked several of them in the face, sketch quickly made a drawing of a hero on the ground which he made into a living thing; pocket was the more powerful as she went berserk all over the changelings. "Let's goooooooo!" lightning called out, there was something moving inside him; something he hadn't felt in 1 month.

MEANWHILE

There was a commotion out in the castle courtyard, commander shine was trying to rally his troops into a decent defense; it wasn't working. "GET INTO A FORMATION FOR CELESTIAS SAKE!" came a booming voice, all the guards got into a semicircle and the pegusus guards were doing battle in the air, a magic blast hit the collection of changelings; turning the commander saw the prince; prince dapper masquerade, firing the blasts into the crowd. "There's a commotion in town, we need to prepare for anything at this point." The commander told the prince, even though he was a prince, dapper almost never acted like one. He was an alicorn that had a burgundy mane a charcoal mane and golden eyes; his cutie mark was a Polaroid. "You do that, I have been told to go help the elements in the tower."

Lightning was getting tired, and these guys just kept coming. "We need to find twilight and the others!" he called to sketch "they must be going for the elements; we need to get to that tower!" sketch called back the three were in no shape for a lopsided fight like this, something within lightning moved; it wasn't adrenalin, it was something more; lightning felt detached from his body; he was then back in his body, fully in control. The only thing was that he felt different, his wings spread and he launched himself forwards into the crowd of changelings.
