Rarity looked at Sunset in disbelief as she crossed her arms and had an angry look she has not seen in a long time

“They are getting, what they deserve. I lost Equestria because of them, if they lose their freedom and become monsters, well that is just fine with me.” She put her hands in her jacket pockets, turned around ready to walk away.

“That's the old Sunset’s talking, the Sunset I know would help those in need. After all, you have done to hurt Twilight and to us, she still wanted to help you.” Rarity said now with her arms crossed looking angry.

Sunset looked at her still trying to decide. “I am not Twilight,” She replied, not able to come up with anything else.

“Also, because it is the right thing to do! you stubborn mule!” Rarity yelled again which surprised her.

“I can’t believe you, just called me that.” Sunset looked at her shaking her head. Then looked at the stage and wonder how she would have felt if the roles were reversed. “You are right Rarity, we need a distraction,” She said looking around for something that could be used.

Adagio moaned in pain as she as her right forearm was forcibly being held by the claws of the Changeling with her bracelet exposed to the Queen.

“Oh yes part of my element from so long ago, it will soon be mine again!” Chrysalis licked her fangs and reached for the green gem.

Sunset closed her eyes for a moment and opened them. Her horn started glowing yellow. Five empty wood chairs floated into the air and then flew at high speed towards Chrysalis. The Queen turned quickly and lifted her left hand open. Green magic engulfed the chairs, stopping them before they hit her.

“Sunset Shimmer, you dare try and attack me, your magic is nothing compared to your mothers or MINE!” She made a fist and the chairs were squeezed together until they broke into pieces falling to the ground.

“I do not care! Come and get me, you old bitch!” Sunset tossed more chairs at her only to have them knocked away.

“If you insist!” Chrysalis wings grew larger and flapped lifting her off the ground.

“Now is your chance Rarity, I will keep her busy.” Sunset said and ran off into the parking lot.

“Hey, what? why me?” Rarity said in disbelief watching Sunset run away and then looked back towards the stage.

Chrysalis flew over Rarity ignoring her and went after Sunset as she used her magic to run faster and jump over the cars in the way. Her crooked horn glowed as she shot at Sunset with streaks of magic. Sunset sensed the direction of the magic and jump out of the way of the beam. It blew holes the size of small craters into concrete and asphalt, flipping cars over.

“Stand still so I can put you out of your misery!” Chrysalis yelled in frustration watching Sunset running to the front of the school and then across the street.

She ran into an alleyway across the street, hoping the apartment buildings would give her some cover. Sunset gave the queen the middle finger as she disappeared from view into the darkness.

The changelings near by turned, noticing Rarity and hissed as they showed their fangs and started walking towards her slowly with their claws ready to strike.

Rarity grabbed a rubber band from a pocket and tied her hair back. She then made a Kokutsu dachi (Back Stance) and held out her palms ready. “I warn you I was top of my karate class,” She said looking worried since it has been years since her last lesson.

Adagio was being held in place and looked up. “I order you to let me go!” She yelled at the monster who looked at her with bug eyes and then opened his mouth showing fangs and a long forked tongue. “EEEK stay away!” She screamed out in fear.

“NO DON’T!” Sonata yelled out trying to pull away as the Changeling opened his mouth revealing his fangs and he moved closer to her neck. There was a blast of white magic that pushed the creature away.

“Hey!” Rarity yelled out as she performed a roundhouse kick the and knocked out the Changeling who fell onto the floor with a thud.

Sonata landed on her rear and looked up at Rarity who pulled her back onto her feet and then quickly turned to the other man who locked his arm around Adagio.

The mutant Changeling hissed holding Adagio in a headlock pulling her away from Rarity. Adagio face was turning blue and she started seeing spots, not able to breathe. “Help me.” She managed to say in a week voice.

Rarity tried to move closer, but two more changelings with glowing eyes blocked her. She is powered up her horn ready to strike.
Suddenly Kevin walked up and tapped the creature on his shoulder, it turned to look at him then hissed just as Kevin slugged him with his fist.

Adagio suddenly felt the Changeling release his hold, she rubbed her neck coughing and looked over to see the insect man knocked out.
“Kevin,” She said with a whimper, looking up at him. Kevin’s eye was clear and looked at her angrily.

Rarity kicked the legs out of one of the Changelings causing him to trip. “Take that ruffian!” She yelled, showing her fists.

More Changelings started climbing the stage moving towards them with glowing green bug eyes. Rarity was starting to feel her magic fading as the link with Sunset was getting weaker.

“Fuck, this is like the walking dead only there alive and have fangs.” Kevin said and grabbed the creature that got knocked over by Rarity and tossed him into the crowd knocking over some of them.

“Where is Aria?” Sonata asked as she hugged Kevin and looked around.

There was a loud horn from the back of the stage. They looked over and spotted Aria at the wheel of a blue minivan, which had its doors open.

“Hi, guys!” Aria yelled out waving her arms motioning them to come.

Kevin and Rarity pushed a few more changelings off the stage.

“I believe we best be going now!” Rarity yelled out and grabbed Sonata arm moving quickly. Her horn, ear, and tail have now disappeared.

Kevin walked up to Adagio who was hugging her knees. “Leave me, I deserve this! Let me die here!” She screamed out trying to avoid being grabbed by Kevin.

“Maybe, but you are going to live with it! Even if I have to be there to remind you!” Kevin yelled out and grabbed her by the scruff of her dress and lifted her easily off the ground.

Adagio struggled as he carried her and then realized he was not going to let her go. Tears fell from her eyes on to his shoulders. “I’m sorry!” She cried out.

Rarity waited in the van looking as Kevin walked to them with Adagio in his arms. He sat her down in the car seat.

“Time to get those gems off or the queen will be able to track us down,” Kevin said and looked at them.

“They don’t come off Kevin,” Sonata said, showing him her right arm.

Kevin grabbed the bracelet with both hands and started pulling. His veins started bulging on his arms and his neck. With a yell, he ripped the bracelet apart and the gem fell to the ground with a thump.

Sonata wings fell off her back and her fangs popped out, falling into her hand. She rubbed her arm, feeling relieved for the first time in weeks.

“Maybe the tooth fairy will be good to you tonight Sonata,” Aria said with a grin showing that her arm was also bracelet free.

Adagio stretched her arm out but did not look Kevin in the face as he removed her bracelet. She let her fangs fall to the floor and leaned back, rubbing her wrist where the bracelet was.

Kevin collected all three gems and they snapped together like magnets becoming one large green gem. He found a plastic bag on the floor of the minivan and put the gem in it.

“I want you to go home! there is something I need to do first.” Kevin slid the large door closed.

“KEVIN! where are you going?” Aria yelled from the driver's seat.

“I can’t let Sunset fight this by herself. Don’t worry I will see you at home when I am done.” Kevin smiled with a thumbs up and started walking back to the stage.

“What a brave man.” Rarity said, looking at him from the front passenger seat.

“He is a jerk,” Aria said and started the van. “But his heart is in the right place, even if his dick is not.”

Rarity gasped in surprise and then Sonata started laughing, Aria and lastly Adagio who wiped her tears away.

Kevin ran quickly through the swarm of mutants. Without their Queen to give them orders they were disorganized and did not have the ability to think for themselves. But they still lashed out trying to grab him, Kevin was able to dodge most of their attempts. He finally reached the door of the school that was unlocked earlier by the zombified super attendant and went inside the school.

“Got to find the gym, I need something I can fight with,” He said to himself running through the empty hallways.

Chrysalis landed and folded her wings, which shrunk in size. “Very clever, but you are only delaying the inevitable.” She said and started walking into the dark alleyway.

Sunset saw the Queen's glowing green eyes and shoot a blast of her magic at her. Chrysalis saw it and countered with her own magic. Yellow vs Green beams of magic pushed against each other.

“Arrgh, I will stop you!” Sunset yelled as her feet started to slide backward.

“Is that all the mighty Sunset can muster, Twilight was a more interesting challenge, but she did have the elements of harmony with her. YOU DO NOT!” Chrysalis green magic increased and pushed past Sunset magic striking her.

Sunset flew back and crashed into a large metal trash hopper with a sickening thud. The bin moved a little from the force of the impact. She fell forward landing on her hands and knees. With a moan, Sunset slowly stood up and spit out some blood.

“Once I finish with you I will find your friends and turn them into my slaves, Or maybe I should just drain them dry of their emotions and magic.” Chrysalis chuckled showing her fangs licking her lips.

Sunset eyes started to glow, she touched the trash hopper and using all the magic she could muster, it lifted off the ground. “YOU WILL NOT HURT MY FRIENDS!” She waved her hand forward and pointing at Chrysalis.

The Changeling Queen gasped as the huge metal trash hopper was thrown at her, pushing her into a wall with a loud smash. Red bricks fell down, landing on a hopper and cement sidewalk kicking up a cloud of dust.

Sunset leaned forward, holding her knees, breathing heavily. “I can’t believe I was able to do that, did I win?” She said to herself, then noticed a green mist pouring out of the bottom of the smashed hopper. With a moan she started to walk away slowly, feeling very weak now.

She kept going until she was stopped by a wall that was blocking her escape. Sunset had walked herself into a dead end that was surrounded by buildings. At least she will not be able to fly in here. I hope the others were able to escape. She thought as the last of her magic faded and her horn, ears, and tail disappeared. Sunset looked down the dark alleyway at the green glow and the sound of footsteps getting closer.

“Sunset Shimmer heir to the throne of Equestria betrayed her mother, broke into the royal vault, stolen one of the elements of disharmony and ran away to another world,” Chrysalis heels clicked on the ground as she approached Sunset her claws scraping against the side of a building gouging it.

“SHUT UP!” Sunset yelled, covering her ears. Memories of her past flooded back into her mind. Then one thought came to her. Who is my Mother? She remembered the last times with Princesses Celestia. As she looked into her eyes as they shared tea and cake looking at the waterfall.

“... Sunset I would like you to come back to the castle, anytime you want to talk, like a family.” Another memory “... your father died to protect you.”, “But I am glad I was able to find you.”

“Have you figured it out dear or do I have to spoil the surprise.” Chrysalis grinned evilly showing her fangs.

“Princesses Celestia is my mother.” Tears fell from Sunset eyes, realizing how much she must have hurt her.

Queen Chrysalis was enjoying watching Sunset in agony. She walked up to Sunset and put her arms around her. Her long green hair enveloping Sunset.

“Your mother abandoned you and you betrayed her, now you know there is nothing for you in Equestria to return to. Join me and we can rule this world together, I will become your mother and you will be my lovely daughter.” Chrysalis bony fingers caressing Sunset face as she looked up into the glowing green eyes.

Sunset felt her body going numb as her eyes starting glowing green. The queen grinned, opening her mouth showing her fangs dripping green saliva and moved down to Sunset neck.

“Hey, Sunny, Nice beauty and the beast impression!” Kevin yelled as he walked closer, holding a plastic bag in one hand and an aluminum bat in the other.

Sunset blinked and the green glow disappeared. “Kevin?... Get out of here…” She said weakly trying to push Chrysalis away.

“No can do, I am still trying to decide on who is playing the beast.” He pointed the bat at Sunset and then to Chrysalis.

“You dare to interrupt me foolish human!” Chrysalis turn around and hissed showing her fangs. “I will tear you apart!” Her body glowed as her form changed into her Equestrian form.

Her hooves scraped against the concrete, pointing her crooked jagged horn at him. She let out a snarl and green steam exhaled from her nostrils ready to charge.

Kevin reached into the bag and pulled out the green gem. “Come any closer and I’ll smash it,” He said swinging the bat.

“No, you will not.” Chrysalis horn glowed and green magic grabbed the bat and started to pull.

Kevin held on tight not letting go of the bat, but his feet started to slip until they found some traction halting his movement. He held on with one arm and pulled back, causing now Chrysalis hooves to slip on the hard surface.

Sunset watched Kevin and Chrysalis in a tug of war. This would have been comical if the situation was not serious. She looked up at the sky and closed her eyes calming her thoughts. Mother Celestia I am sorry, please give me the strength to protect my friends and this world. Tears fell down her cheeks as she spread her arms wide open.

Princesses Celestia was on her balcony looking at the night sky when she heard Sunset’s voice and a tear streamed down her cheek. “Of course, my dear child.” Her horn glowed brightly like the sun itself and shot a beam into the sky which bounced off the moon and disappeared.

“I will rule this world! Nothing will stop me!” Chrysalis let go of the bat and shot green energy in Kevin's chest blasting him onto his back.

Then her magic grabbed the bat and gem, changing them into the shape of a breastplate. The breastplate latched onto her body with the green gem now encrusted in the middle. Her body now glowed green feeling the gem enhancing her own magic.

“Oh yes, I feel the power, muahahaha” Laughed Chrysalis feeling in ecstasy.

A streak of magic zoomed down from the moon and engulfed Sunset. She looked up, feeling the warmth and love. “Mother,” Sunset said as her body started to tingle and change.

“Now, where were we?” Queen Chrysalis turned around, looking into the blue eyes of an Alicorn with fiery red, yellow main and wings. “Princess, no, it’s not possible, without the elements.”

“Just Sunset Shimmer I still do not deserve the title of Princess. But I still would gladly enjoy kicking your ass.” Her horn glowed brightly as red and yellow mixed together.

Princess Twilight climbed out of the mirror above the skin in the school’s women's bathroom and fell onto the floor. “Of all the places to end up yuck!” She said trying to get her balance and adjusted her dress. “I better hurry and see if Sunset needs help.”

Twilight ran outside to a horde of mutant changelings around a stage. She covered her mouth to keep quiet. They didn’t notice her and seemed to be looking across the street. So she carefully crept around the building until she got to the front of it.

There was a bright flash of magic and Chrysalis were thrown backward out of the alleyway and crash landed into a bus stop destroying the structure. She coughs up some green blood and spit some out which hissed like acid on the asphalt. Looking down, she noticed that the green gem was cracking and then shattered into pieces.

“No!” Chrysalis yelled out and looked as her army started to change back into humans, her power over them broken. She also reverted back to her human from feeling weak.

Twilight heard hooves clopping as Sunset slowly walked out of the alleyway with Kevin holding onto her back with one arm and the other arm around his chest.

“Sunset how did you? You have wings!” Twilight squealed happily. “Celestia be praised.”

Kevin nodded to Sunset and walked on his own until he found some grass to sit on.

“Princess Twilight how did you get here the mirror was destroyed?” Sunset said as Twilight ran up to her and hugged.

“Oh, that is a long story, well not really, but we first should deal with Chrysalis.” Twilight said and they both looked at the destroyed bus stop. Only the breastplate remained, there was no sign of Chrysalis.

“Fuck she got away!” Sunset said which caused Twilight to gasp at her friends' foul language.

Kevin was laying on the grass on his back, holding his chest. “Don’t mind me, I will just lay here and die from my injuries.” Looking at Sunset and Twilight.

“You're such a crybaby Kevin.” Sunset walked over to him and looked down.

“Who me, you have cried more times, then OUCH!” Kevin felt Sunset hoof on his chest.

“Well, it’s a good thing I have studied the art of healing with magic during my time in Equestria.” She stepped back and lowered her horn which started glowing and touched his chest with it.

“I distinctly remember you failed that exam,” Twilight said which caused Kevin to look worried.

“Now you remember, don’t worry Kevin I did keep practicing.” Sunset horn glowed some more and then she stepped back.

Kevin felt a warm sensation on his chest the and the pain started to subside until it faded away as if nothing happened. He rubbed his chest and stood up slowly.

“Thank goodness you didn’t cook me,” He said as a blue minivan screeched to a halt and the doors open.

The Dazzlings jumped out of the van and ran into Kevin.

“Kevin!” Aria yelled as she was the first to reach him and hugged him on the right then Sonata hugged him on the left.

Adagio walked up quietly holding her hands, looking at her feet. “I am glad you are safe.” She said in a quiet voice and turned around and started walking back to the van.

Kevin looked and Aria and Sonata and they let go of his arms and he walked up to Adagio.

Adagio felt Kevin's arms wrap around her as he hugged her from behind. “After everything, why?” She started crying looking at her feet.

“Do not think you have gotten off that easily, you still need to help with the clean up. I also expect you to pay rent as soon as you get a real job.” Kevin said and let go and then looked at Aria and Sonata. “I thought I told you to go back home.”

“We do not have the keys you asshole, you took away are copies,” Sonata said with her arms crossed with a smirk.

“Whatever let's leave the van, and go home tomorrow we can cleanup.” Kevin put his hands in his pockets and started walking.

Aria shrugged and followed, then Sonata grabbed Adagio's arm to drag her along. Sunset waved her hoof and Kevin look and nodded with a smile walking away.

“My CAR!” Rarity yelled from the parking lot.

Twilight walked up next to Rarity looking at her car which was upside down on its roof. Sunset walked up to them clopping her hooves and looked shaking her head.

“You know in Equestria we do not have cars,” Twilight said which caused Rarity to lose her composure and started to chase Twilight swinging her arms.

“I will show you I thing or two pony girl! Get back here!” Rarity screamed out.

Sunset lowered her head pointing her horn at the car and used her magic to lift it off the ground and slowly rotated it back onto its wheels and then set it down. She looked around at all the damaged automobiles in the parking lot.

“This is going to be a long night,” She said and starting walking to the next vehicle.

There was long silence as the Dazzlings walked back home, Aria walked up to Kevin and looked him in the eyes. Kevin looked back at Aria who was holding her arms behind her back looking at him and wondering what she wanted.

“Aria what is it?” Kevin said, scratching unshaven chin.

“I was wondering, how much do you remember when you were a zombie?” She said looking a little nervous.

“Hmm, let me see,” He rubbed his chin stubble some more, and looked at her. “Everything.” Kevin said and continued walking.

Aria face turned completely red with embarrassment and walked behind him so he could not see her face.

A black cat walked along the sidewalk looking for prey and noticed some movement from a bush. Curiosity got the better of the cat and she just had to find out what it was. It sniffed along the bush trying to make sense of the movement. Suddenly a bony hand with claws burst from the bush and grabbed the cat, pulling it into the bush. The cat screamed out a loud wailing meow and then quickly stopped as the sound of sickening crunching began.

A few minutes later the black cat climbed out of the bush with a shard of the green gem in its jaws. Looking around with green eyes it took off into the darkness.

Author's Notes:

Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

I got it done early.

Story is not over but the major conflict part appears to be.
