Chrysalis laid down on the floor on her back as Nals laid atop her, both still nude as Nala began kissing her neck, making Chrysalis coo happily.

"Tell me how to make you feel better, mother..." Nala said as she nuzzled her neck.

"Mmm... You're already doing it..." Chrysalis said with a smile. "Kiss me some more..."

Nala nodded as she began kissing the queen's neck some more, closing her eyes as she enjoyed pleasing her queen and mother.

Twilight parked her van near the docks and looked out at the rundown warehouse that once served as the Kronos base.

"What's this place?" asked Dash. "Why are we here?"

"This was Kronos' hideout..." Twilight explained.

"You think she's stupid enough to come back?"

"Firstly, this was her home for the past couple years... Also, those Changelings we killed? Those were her children. I doubt she's thinking much about survival at this point..."

Twilight then left the car and closed her door, Dash following as they made their way towards the warehouse. The purple mare then pulled her gun and checked the ammo as Dash did the same.

Nala's ears twitched as she sat up on Chrysalis' waist, the queen still laying on her back. "Someone's here..." she said, still

Chrysalis nodded. "Yes, I know..." she said, her hands on Nala's hips.

"Want me to--" Nala began.

"No..." the queen interrupted, sounding like she didn't care. "Let them come..."

The mare nodded and got off her as the queen stayed down. Just then two figures entered the warehouse, guns drawn as they spotted the two Changelings. Both went wide-eyed slightly at seeing them both still nude.

"Chrysalis?" asked Dash. "Still naked? I mean... Still here?"

"Where else would I go?" the queen asked emotionlessly, sounding a little annoyed.

"I dunno... Somewhere else?" the cyan mare replied. "You must be really depressed if you're returning to a place that we know about... And not putting on clothes..."

"Depressed?" asked Chrysalis. "You ever have kids, Dash?"

Twi and Dash both eyed each other. "Um... No?" said Dash questioningly.

"You know what it's like to watch your kid die?"

"Um..." Dash started. "I just said I didn't--"

"Just... imagine it..." said Chrysalis, slowly getting to her feet with her back to the mares. "Imagine your child dying... How would you feel?"

"I-I don't know, uh... Shitty?"

"I HAD 87!!!" Chrysalis yelled, whipping around to face them as her eyes had an eerie green glow.

Dash quickly raised her gun for defense before Twilight placed her hand on Dash's gun, making her lower it. The purple mare
then holstered her gun and walked towards Chrysalis.

"Twilight, what the hell are you doing?" asked Dash, keeping her gun out but not raising it.

Chrysalis watched as the mare stepped up to her, looking confused.

Twilight then hugged her, feeling the large breasts of the queen press against her. She ignored it as she wasn't doing this for a sexual reason. "I'm sorry..." she said, sounding sympathetic. Chrysalis went wide-eyed as she froze up, seemingly surprised by the mare's action as the green glow began to fade from her eyes. "I'm so sorry for your loss... I can't imagine how you must be feeling..."

The queen then pulled her arms away and grabbed Twilight by the shoulders, gently pushing her back a step. "No... You can't..."

"I want you to know it wasn't personal..." said Twilight, looking into the queen's eyes. "We only did what we did to protect the city... I would've much preferred a peaceful solution, but..."

Chrysalis looked into her eyes and hesitated before sighing. "Get out..." she said, letting go of Twilight's shoulders and turning her back to her.

The unicorn hesitated before turning and walking back towards Dash.

"Wh..." the cyan mare began, confused. "We're leaving her here? What if she--"

"She's not gonna do anything, Dashie..." said Twilight as she walked passed Dash. "Let's go..."

Dash hesitated, letting out a grunt of annoyance before turning and following the unicorn.

"Twilight?" asked Chrysalis, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

The mares stopped at the exit and looked back at the Changeling.

"Yeah?" asked the unicorn.

"Thank you..." the queen replied in a flat tone, sounding like she wasn't to pleased with saying it but feeling like she had to.

Twi smiled lightly. "Welcome..." she said, before she and Dash left.

Nala walked up to Chrysalis as she watched the mares leave. "That was odd... What Twilight did..."

"No..." said the queen. "That was respect..." she said with a light smile. "And, for us... that's hard to come by..."

"I can't believe we just let them go..." Dash said angrily.

"Her heart's broken, Dashie," said Twilight as they headed down the dock back to the sidewalk. "She's done..."

"And, what was all that hugging bullshit?" the cyan mare snapped. "Did you forget she's the enemy?"

"She's also a mother whose children we killed," said Twilight as she eyed the mare, taking the calm approach to the mare's yelling. "Forget what they did and look at it from her perspective. She had to watch her 87 children die before her eyes."

"Because of her!"

"Dashie!" Twilight yelled, getting sick of the mare's complaining.

Dash then let out an angry sigh as they arrived at the van. "Fine..."

"Wouldn't hurt to be a little compassionate, Dashie..." said Twilight as she opened the driver's side door and climbed in.

"Towards that bitch, it would..." Dash grumbled as she climbed into the passenger's seat.

Twilight eyed her as she started the van up before driving away.
