Chapter 75: A Canterlot Wedding Part 9

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I woke up in my bed with Twilight standing over me. Wait, what happened...? Twilight was depressed, I was being ignored and then... I'm not sure. Oh shit, did we-?

"Wake up!" She exclaimed. "You need to wake up right now!"

"W-Wait!" I cried out. "D-Did we do it?!" Twilight looked confused.

"What?"

"You were all depressed a-and I was drunk and- I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I used protection, right?!" Twilight looked shocked.

"What?! No, we didn't-! No-no-no! Why would you even think-? Ugh! Never mind!" Twilight charged up her horn. "Look, this is going to take too long to explain, so I'm going to just directly give you my memories!" Twilight touched her horn with mine and a stream of images flooded through my mind. The Miyamoto bug, the real Miyamoto, the caves, the wedding, Chrysalis's admitted plan, Celestia's defeat, Vesper defending her, Chrysalis using the gold water on Vesper, Vesper being thrown out of a window, Chrysalis monolouging about absorbing Celestia's magical energy and Twilight running to me.

"Woah... That was some trippy shit... Wait, why aren't I freaking out about Chrysalis existing?"

"You experienced my memories. I'm not frightened of her the way that you are, so you can think about her clearly."

"You mean you just got rid of my phobia?!" Twilight shook her head.

"No. As soon as you see her again you'll go into another panic attack."

"Damn. Wait, she's gonna take Celestia's power?!" Having this much information dumped on you is so confusing...

"Yes, and when she does, nopony will be able to stop her! So we need to get out of here as fast as we can! Spike found your vehicle, the girls are getting as many Ponies onto it as they can, but we're not leaving without you!" I need to get up to escape with- No. The logical option is to leave-! I can beat her. I looked at Twilight with a determined expression.

"I'm not leaving."

"What?! You can't seriously mean-?!"

"I'm going to fight Chrysalis."

"But you can't! She's more powerful than Princess Celestia!"

"Did that stop me with Nightmare?" Twilight was too socked to speak for a few seconds.

"No, even if you did try to fight her, you'd panic and lose the will to fight!" That's true, my phobia is ridiculously strong... Wait...

"That machine of yours."

"My energy stabiliser?"

"It can control any kind of energy, right?"

"Yes, why?"

"Even emotional energy?" Her eyes widened as she realised what I meant. I smirked. "Time for me to swat a fly!"


We were outside the chapel room. Twilight had found a guards helmet laying around and had magically sealed the machinery to it, then added a rune that toughened its molecular structure, making it nearly unbreakable.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked nervously as she passed the helmet to me.

"Yes." Twilight stayed quiet. "You and the girls should keep helping civilians in case this gets messy."

"You mean in case you fail?" I looked dead in the eye.

"I won't fail." She gave a me a determined nod.

"Okay," she said, much less shakily. "I've set the energy stabiliser to counteract any fear energy, you won't even be creeped out. But keep in mind that this is a prototype, so there's probably going to be side effects. If I had to guess, you'll probably experience violent mood swings."

"Thanks. Get as far away from here as you can, I'll probably need to go all out."

"Right." I turned away from her. "Uh... Cloud?" I turned back. "Just... Be careful, alright?" I flashed her a grin.

"Don't worry about me, I've got this." I turned to the door once again and put on the helmet. Anger flooded through me and I almost fell over from the sudden vertigo. Holy bucking... The anger intensified. That bitch is goin' down! I exploded the doors just in time to see Vesper, who was pretty messed up, get hit with a beam of magic and hit a wall. Chrysalis walked over to her and charged her horn, saying a few words I couldn't hear before aiming at what was left of Vesper's head. I quickly threw a Sharp Razor, severing the bug queen's horn from her body.

Chrysalis screamed and looked towards me.

"Hey, Swiss feet!" I shouted. "Get the BUCK away from my daughter!" Chrysalis grinned evilly as green fire surrounded her stump for a second, disappearing to reveal a new horn.

"Oh, this weakling is your daugh-?" She suddenly looked confused. "Wait, if she's your daughter, why do you look the same age?" I summoned a Support Circle and sped over to her, using the momentum on a KC Punch to her face to send her flying out of a nearby window, then grabbed her with telekinesis and threw her through back inside through another window before teleporting back to the door to get some distance. She stood up unscathed and laughed.

"My chitin plating gives me a natural armour, making me immune to- Gah!" I cut her off by firing my red electrical beam at her which she barely countered with a normal magical beam. The beams fought for power, but seemed to be just about equal. "Not bad, but I can make mine much stronger with solar energy!" Her beam's power suddenly increased and began to slowly fight back against mine. I powered up with the Support Circle I still had active and intensified my own beam. The beams balanced back out. "Crap. Okay, how about love energy from the moron?" Her beam's power increased again and started to win against mine again. "Ha ha!"

Shit! I'm too focused to summon a Shield Circle! How does that work?! The beam is hard to do! The only way to get a Shield Circle up is if I get rid of the Support Circle but then my beam won't be nearly powerful enough to hold her's off for a long enough time! Realta damn it! I need some sort of shield! At that moment, Watcher limped through the doorway, covered in cuts and bruises.

"Hey... Everypony..." He gasped out weakly. "I'm... Back..." I grabbed him and threw him in front of me.

"EQUINE SHIELD!" I yelled as the beam smashed into him, exploding on impact. Well, that solves that problem. She's way too powerful! There's no way I can beat her while she's feeding off of Celestia's energy! Wait a minute... That's it!

"That- Why would you-?" Asked Chrysalis. "Ugh, forget it." I teleported over to Asshat, who had been standing in the same spot since whenever the memories Twilight gave me happened. Theoretically, Bug-Bitch can only use Celestia's power because she's increasing her overall magic capacity by feeding off of Asshat's emotional energy, so if I do this... I took my helmet off and, while being sure to not look anywhere near Bug-Bitch, changed the settings on the machinery and shoved it onto Asshat's head. "W-Wait! What have you done?!" Bug-Bitch started screaming. Hopefully because Celestia's power is too much for her now.

Without warning, somepony grabbed me from behind and spun me around. I was face to face with Bug-Bitch

Bug-Bitch

Bug-Bi- No!

I've got to focus!

Terror tore through my mind as my heart raced, making it very hard to think straight.

"How?!" Screamed Bug-Bitch. Come on, focus! I've got to fight her! Be brave! "Tell me how you have stopped the energy or I will kill you in the slowest way known to the beings in this world!" BUCK BRAVERY!

"MAGIC," I screamed back, summoning a Kinetic Circle around a hoof, "MOTHER BUCKER!" I KC Punched Bug-Bitch in the face so hard that her chitin cracked and fragmented. She screamed as she flew backwards out of a window and fell out of sight. After a second or two, her screams cut off abruptly.

It was over.

I had triumphed over my worst fear.

My pulse began to slow back to a more normal rate and my mind cleared. I sighed a breath of relief. That was intense... I guess not all battles are based on pure strength alone... Wait, isn't there still an army attacking? Buck it, somepony else can deal with it. Well, it would be fair. Realta damn it, I didn't use an original one-liner before I finished her off. Oh well, at least it was fitting.

A strange drop of green liquid dropped down from the ceiling and landed in front of me. Curious as to where it came from, I looked up to see Celestia in a jelly-chrysalis-thing. I threw a Sharp Razor and sliced the chrysalis off of the ceiling. The chrysalis fell and smashed upon impact of the ground, releasing God-Horse who gasped for air before standing up.

"I guess I did get to see you fight her after all," she said as she shook off the rest of the gunk. I glared at her with a raised eyebrow. She sighed. "I am sorry for becoming reckless, allowing Queen Chrysalis to distract Vesper long enough to become near-immortal using the gold water and not telling you that you would not be able to fight her properly due to her being a Changeling." Wait...

"You knew?!" Croaked what was left of Vesper from her pool of blood. "You knew this whole bucking time?!"

"Yes, I thought it would be more entertaining if-"

"Buck you! Buck you! I'll buck you up, you mother bucking cu-!"

"I only intended to be entertained! I did not mean for this to happen."

"You know what?" I asked. "We can talk about this later, the city is still under attack. I'm gonna take Vesper to that doctor you like."

"Are you not going to deal with the army?"

"You deal with the bucking army!" Croaked Vesper.

"Alright, Vesper, just calm down," I said. "Wait until you're healed before you start another fight."

"...Sunny-assed bitch..."

"I'm gonna knock you out for now, okay?"

"Yeah, fine, whatever." I gently knocked Vesper out with sleeping gas, picked her up with telekinesis and teleported the both of us to the hospital.


"So how bad of a state is she in?" I asked. The army had been defeated, giving Rib Remover a chance to look over Vesper.

"Bad," he answered in his usual, almost monotone voice. "Several hundred lacerations filled with glass ranging in size, two broken and improperly healed hind legs, a pulverised jawbone with intense bruising in surrounding flesh, burnt and melted flesh surrounding many fractures to the skull, damaged brain tissue, a cracked horn, severely damaged teeth and massive bruising to the gums." Holy bucking...

"Will she live?"

"Yes." Oh, thank Realta...

"How long will it take for her to recover?"

"Three to five years including psychological damage. She would never fully recover and would likely never walk again." I looked down at my hooves. So she'll be... My eyes teared up slightly. "However," I looked up, "Princess Celestia has added the patient and you onto a list of V.I.P.s to keep at maximum health at all costs. Therefore, she will be under my care."

"And will she... Will she be alright?"

"Yes. I would not take the same amount of time other doctors would."

"Well... How long will it take with you?"

"Two to four hours. Five at most." There was an awkward silence.

"Oh. Well then." I smiled in relief and held out a hoof. "Thank you, doctor."

"I'm just doing my job." He shook my hoof and I was almost certain I saw the faintest hint of a smile.

Author's Notes:

This fight was much sillier than in the last chapter, but I think it worked out better than if it was serious.


Only one more chapter in this arc, then it's time for season three! :pinkiehappy:
