Chrysalis was helping her friend, Roseblood, write a letter to her enemies that were approaching Canterlot in an attempt to dethrone her from power. It was from the evil queen personally, but, being a slight coward as she is, Chrysalis would be the one to give out the message to Zecora, Discord, and the army of freedom fighters.

Meanwhile, Twilight, and her corrupted friends were getting ready for battle themselves, along with an army of diamond dogs, some minotaurs that Iron Will knows, brainwashed royal guards, a number of Klugetowner scoundrels, mercenaries, and cutthroats, and the demons that she conjured to this world.

Some of these klugetowners agreed to do this for her because she would pay them all a handsome reward for helping her crush her enemies out there in the fields, and it wouldn't even be surprising if these scum would be in it for the money, not to mention how greedy and money-hungry their mayor was.

"Be sure to tell them that if they want to die than surrender, tell them: so be it." Roseblood instructed the former Changeling queen. "I doubt they will want to surrender to me anyway."

"Of course, my queen. Apparently, they are not ones to give up so easily." Chrysalis replied. "Especially that Spike. For a boy his age, he never learns to surrender or give into demands."

"Not to worry." Said Roseblood. "Need I remind you that Spike is under my keenful eyes?"

"I know."

"I will worry about what Spike will do next. You just do your job and do as I tell you to do."

Chrysalis bowed her head in respect to her. "Yes, m'lady. And i'll be sure that your enemies will hear your note loud and clear when I read it to them all."

"And, of course I suspect they will not surrender. I know those kind of creatures when I see it. Eland are a noble race, and those buffalo, dragons, and hippogriffs are not quitters."

"If they do reach Canterlot,"

"they will not stand a chance, Chrysalis." The evil mare reassured. "With my own army, they will forfeit their lives in trying to destroy me."

"Oh. You're right. Soon, I will have my throne over at the changeling kingdom back soon enough."

"Do not forget you still serve me, Chrysalis."

"I know that, my dear friend. Anything else you would like me to write down on this letter?"

"No. That is it. Prepare to read it for the enemy. And... I have decided something."

"Which is...?"

"You can kill those resistance ponies and animals and beasts if they do not surrender for all I care, but," she turned around to look at the changeling with a stern look. "Bring Discord, and this Zecora alive."

"What for?"

"I have something special planned for he who was the Master of Chaos. For that zebra, I would certainly like to have a word with her."

"Very well. I'll bring as much troops as I can with me on the way to offer them the surrender note."

"And be sure you bring Twilight, Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer, and their friends with you."

"Of course. Maybe we can use them as weapons since our enemies wouldn't hurt the ones they care about."

"Perhaps we can. Or, we can use them to our advantage by making our enemies join us and finally recognize me as their new queen."

"An even greater idea."

"Spike," she called out to her new pet. The baby dragon shyly went next to her. "Ah, there you are."

"Y-yes, my queen?" He asked nervously in a shaky voice.

"Why don't you go along with Chrysalis and pay our friends a visit?"

"Hmm? Why would I do that?"

"Because I told you so, sweetie." she smiled at him. "And besides." She then gave him a more stern look on her face and her eyes glowed red again at him. "You wouldn't want to be punished again? Wouldn't you?"

The baby dragon gulped and he replied: "no, of course not, but... I don't want to hurt Zecora, Discord, and my other friends."

"You won't have to." said Roseblood. She used the magic from her horn to conjured Spike in a chain to bind his arms and gag his mouth with a handkerchief to keep him from yelling and talking (Or in particular, speak out against Chrysalis and her wishes when she addresses he enemies.) “There, much better now.”

Spike was muffling and trying to break free from these chains and if not for the handkerchief covering his mouth, he would have breathed fire on himself to melt the shackles. Otherwise, he is trapped and gagged.

Chrysalis then made an evil smile. "Excellent." She said. Using the magic from her Horn, Chrysalis pulled Spike over to her, and placed him on her back. "I will take good care of you, I promise you that, Spike."

Gagged, Spike gulped in fear, and he knew it did not sound good by how she said that, and he began shaking in fear. He didn't want to face any more punishments and so-called discipline from Roseblood. Another thing Spike feared was that Chrysalis is not one to keep her promises. Villains like her lie as one of their specialties.

“Just relax, and let her take care of you on the way to the fields.” Roseblood Said to him. “Rover! Fido! Spot!” She barked out aggressively. “Where are you dogs?!” All of a sudden, the sound of rushing feet were heard, and the three leaders of the Diamond Dog clan approached her, and bowed down to her.

“Yes, m’lady?” Said all three of them in unison.

“See to it that Chrysalis gives me letter to the enemy, and do bring a number of your guards with you in case it starts to get a little.... impassable.” She made a smirk on the right side of her mouth.

“Don’t you worry, Queen Roseblood.” Rover assured her. “Nothing will try and hurt Chrysalis, or us. Not as long as we all got my boys here to help out.”

“Good. I knew you would be loyal to me.”

“And, you wouldn’t have to have any more gems, do you, your majesty?” Asked Fido

“You dare to ask her such a question?” Asked Chrysalis.

“Peace.” Roseblood calmed her down. “It is quite alright.” She pulled out three bags of gems for the three leading mutts to take, and they were panting like a bunch of real dogs would behave.

“Now that’s what I am talking about!” Spot exclaimed in glee.

“Garble, you scout around the area with your friends and see to it that no enemy gets in or out of Canterlot.”

“You got it, ma’am.” Said Garble. “No puny pony or smelly buffalo will get through this city. Right boys?” He flexed his muscles in a rather exaggerated manner.

“Right!” Said his closest friends.

“Shining Armor, Iron Will, And Cadence, prepare your soldiers for battle.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Baby Flurry Heart clapped her hooves in a happy, yet evil manner. Her laugh sounded a little more maniacal with an evil grin on her cute little face. “Go on now, Chrysalis. You know what to do.”

“You got it.” Then Chrysalis flew away while using her magic, and the corrupted elements of Harmony, Celestia, and Luna followed after them. Meanwhile, out in the fields, Discord, Zecora, Imari, King Savimbi, Smolder, Ember, Thorax, And the other freedom fighters were still marching onward to stop Roseblood and put an end o her reign.

Even if they were all far away from the capital city, they can clearly see Canterlot castle on the other side of the tall mountain on the left. For Ponyville, it was still many, many, many miles away from where they all were now.

The dragons, Pegasus ponies, griffons, Changelings an pd hippogriffs could fly all the way over to Canterlot and take down the defenses around the city, but they chose to stay with the whole group to help them all out for those who didn’t have any wings.

Grandpa Gruff made a small cough, and he said: “I don’t recall traveling by sky to be that- hack!” He began coughing again. “-Stressful. How do you young griffons do it?”

“It’s not us, Said Thorax. “Technically, your old age is what slows you down a little.”

“Old?!” Said Gruff. “I am not old!” Then he felt a cramp on his spleen. “Ah. Well, i’m Young at heart at least.”

“Don’t stress yourself, Grandpa.” Gilda remarked in irritation. “Wouldn’t want to suffer a heart attack, would ya?”

“Bah! I haven’t had any heart palpitations in three years now, Gilda.”

“Story of yak’s life.” Said Rutherford. “Palpitation in the heart is what Yak feels from time to time.”

“Well, I hope you all don’t have heart attacks now.” Said Ember. “We will go into battle soon, and we have to get ready for it. Who knows what conniving and despicable monster will come around and-“

Before the female dragon could finish her sentence, something pooped up in front of the army. It was Chrysalis, with Spike on her back, and the corrupted elements of harmony, along with Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, the three lead diamond dogs, and about thirty of their soldiers.

The ponies taped in horror and shock when they see Nightmare Moon again, and they didn’t recognize Celestia for what she was now, and never seen her like that before. “Princess Celestia? Luna? What happened to you?” Asked Pip.

“Roseblood has given us her power.” Said Daybreaker. “Now, I am Daybreaker.” Then she began cackling evilly.

“And Nightmare Moon has been reborn!” Said the younger sister.

“Chrysalis!” Said Pharynx. “What the hell are you doing here?! I’ll gut you in half like a trout!”

The changeling General was about to charge at his former ruler with anger and rage inside of him, something beyond comprehension, until something stopped him. It was Thorax who stopped his own brother from doing something irrational. “Easy, brother.” Said Thorax. “Not yet.”

“Tut tut, Pharynx.” Said Chrysalis. “That is no way to say hello to your own mother. After all, you were my favorite.”

“‘Was’ your favorite, Chrysalis,” Pharynx retaliated. “My loyalty belongs to my brother and the other good Changelings in need of my help.”

Making a sad sigh that sounded rather insincere, Chrysalis said: "What a shame, Pharynx. You could have been a good servant to me. Alas, you decided to take the weak side of this little war, and it saddens me."

"Well, I'm crying on the inside, then." said Pharynx in a sarcastic voice. "I am nothing like you! And i would rather die than serve you again." And he began growling like an angry lion or a tiger at her, baring his sharp teeth in hatred. "Now what do you want?"

"I just simply came here to give you all a letter from her majesty herself." she pulled out the scroll, and showed it to them.

"Give us Spike!" said Zecora.

"Or I'll gut you like a million fish!" Ember added. She was about to swoop down and bring Spike to her, but the diamond dogs held him at spear-point with their sticks, threatening to kill him if she came any closer.

"Stay back, dragon!" said Rover. "Or he dies!"

"I would do as they say, Ember." Chrysalis said with a smug look

"Spike." Ember muttered. She just wanted to burn all of these bad guys to save the best and closest friend she ever made in her life. "I need to save him."

Thorax stepped in front of her, and stopped her from doing anything irrational like Pharynx was right now. "Ember, please!" he begged her. "Do not do anything stupid!"

"But, Spike-!"

The Baby dragon's handkerchief covering his mouth suddenly became undone, and he said: "Don't worry about me, Ember! They'll only kill you!"

"Oh shut your gawp!" said one of the Diamond Dog soldiers.

"That's quite enough of you, Spike." then she put the rag back over his mouth, and tied it a little tighter than before. "Now, This scroll is from Roseblood herself. It specifically reads out to all of you:

To my enemies planning to destroy me

We need not to be adversaries. You all cannot beat me, and my supreme power and knowledge of magic. I can assure all of you blasphemous, thick-headed barbarians will forfeit your lives in trying to kill me. However, knowing I will soon take over the world, I will give you all a choice to surrender, or all die like a pack of dogs, and I do not mean the Diamond Dogs. If you all surrender and give up without fighting to me, you will all be spared and you will never worry about being killed by me, I promise you. Surrender yourself to me, and you will all be given a brilliant future under my rule, and work for your happiness.

Everyone in the army of good did not buy every word that Chrysalis had said to them in that piece of paper. Disgusted was one of the emotions that they were feeling, along with anger, and hatred towards Chrysalis and Roseblood, and this army of evil. "Now," Chrysalis spoke again. "What do you all say?"

"Surrender or Die?" asked Fido. the other diamond dogs agreed with him in some clamoring and ugly laughter and some barking.

Discord sneered, and he said: "Do you actually think we will fall for all that balderdash?" and he crossed his arms with hatred.

"You'll never keep your promises." said Zecora. "I know you won't."

"And tell me, is Garble and his friends with you guys now?" asked Smolder

"Maybe." said Spot with a smug look on his face. "What's it to you, scale face?"

"Because he and me had a... history together." said Ember. "And it wouldn't be surprising if those morons had joined you against us." Then she made a huff.

"That matters not." said Chrysalis. "This is your final warning. Surrender, or all die in battle trying to stop us." She sounded rather stern this time. "What will it be?"

"It is your choice," said Starlight Glimmer. "Do not blame us if you all get killed by your decision to fight."

"And we'll throw you all a 'welcome to the dark side' party if you all join us." Pinkie Pie added.

"And you will have so much rewards waiting for you once you join our ranks." said Twilight.

"Twilight and her friends," Zecora said. "Please, come back to the light."

"Not likely." said Rarity. "We are evil, and we love being evil."

"You don't mean that." said Gilda

"Oh, don't we?" asked Fluttershy. "It feels good to be evil."

"The real Fluttershy would never say that." Discord protested

"I am the real Fluttershy, Discord!"

"And this is the real Celestia and Luna!" Added Daybreaker.

"And that is how we will stay, for the rest of eternity." said Nightmare Moon.

"We would all rather die than join evil!" said Queen Novo. "Nothing means more to me than the safety of me, my family, and all my people! Take heed, Hippogriffs will never join the side of evil!"

"And yaks crush you for trying to ruin yak's home!" Shouted Prince Rutherford. "We'll never forgive you for trying to destroy Yakyakistan!" he and the other yaks made bellows and shouting telling the enemies they would never surrender.

"And for trying to take over the whole world and take away our freedom!" said Imari. "Zecora speaks right, you will never keep your promises and betray us in the end."

"Take heed on this." said Savimbi. "You will never break us and we will never join you! We would all rather die than join you!" a tremendous amount of cheering was heard among the eland, kudu, buffalo, minotaurs, dragons, and the other creatures and animals among the army of freedom fighters.

Chrysalis just looked annoyed by these protests, and rolled her eyes back. "I knew they wouldn't cooperate." said Applejack. "They are as stubborn as mules. Considering the fact that the mules are throwin' themselves in with all of these guys."

"Peace, Applejack." said Shining Armor.

"They are just being irrational." Cadence added. Flurry Heart gave out a raspberry at the army in front of them.

"Now, give us back Spike!" Pip shouted in anger.

Another sound of angry shouting was heard, all demanding the bad guys to have Chrysalis release the baby dragon and be back with them, free from captivity. "I think not!" said Chrysalis. "Queen Roseblood has decided to make him, her own personal pet, and there is nothing you can all do about it to change her mind!"

"Well, then, we're going to have to take him by force!" said one of the buffalo. A tremendous fight began and the diamond dog soldiers were instantly wiped out, but a few casualties were hit upon the freedom fighters, for a kudu was zapped in the leg by Daybreaker's magic, and a minotaur was injured by Applejack's legs by a kick in the shin. Still, the tough bull swiped her away on the right side of her torso, knocking her to the ground.

Nightmare Moon stabbed one of the mares in the army with her horn, right on her left side, and blood pouring out of the wound.

Despite these casualties, the heroes eventually prevailed in this fight with a few more casualties, but there were no losses at all, just some injuries.

"Grrr. So be it!" said Chrysalis. "Fall back! We will be back to finish them all off!"

She, the three lead diamond dogs, the remainder of their soldiers, and the corrupted princess' and elements of Harmony retreated back to Canterlot to regroup. Spike unfortunately, disappeared with them, for the heroes trying to save him and free him was proven unsuccessful.

"We'll save Spike." said Zecora. "We just need to keep moving to Canterlot, bring Roseblood and Chrysalis to justice and put an end to this hellish chaos. Keep moving!" Then the march towards Canterlot continued.
