Shinning Armor stood in horror. Had he heard his little sister correctly? Had she just declared King Sombra as her master?

"Twily, are you feeling okay?" asked Shinning Armor.

Twilight let out a sinister laugh.

"Oh, I feel just peachy brother." answered Twilight, with a malevolent smile on her face.

Shinning Armor began walking to twilight, only for her to shoot another blast of magic.

"I warned you Shinning." said Twilight, with venom in her voice.

Shinning posed for a moment then used his magic to teleport next to the Crystal Heart. But, as he arrived Shinning was met with a blast of magic from Twilight which sent him cashing into a wall.

"You'll have to do better than that." said Twilight cocky.

Shinning got back to his hooves.

"I am not going to fight you." said Shinning.

"Awe. That's just a disappointment." said Twilight, with mock disappointment.

Twilight fired another magic blast, but Shinning Armor used his magic to teleport away. The magic blew a hole in the wall while Shinning returned to where he had first stood.

"What the hell is going on?!" exclaimed Shinning.

"For years, I was a pawn of Celestia. She wanted to control the most powerful unicorns in Equestria to make sure there was no threat to her power. She realized I was a threat so she sent me to that backwards shithole Ponyville. Master opened my eyes and now I will die for him." explained Twilight.

"You know that's not true Twilight." replied Shinning.

"Spare me!" snapped twilight.

Shinning flinched at this.

"You and Cadence are no better. You used us to steal the throne from Sombra after Celestia and Luna banished him." said Twilight bitterly.

Twilight fired another magic blast, but it missed as Shinning used his magic to teleport a few feet away.

"Stop running you coward!" cried Twilight.

Twilight fired another magical blast, but Shinning again used his magic to teleport away.

"I already said I won't fight you Twily!" cried Shinning.

"Too bad, because you'r going to whether you like it or not!" declared Twilight.

Twilight fired a beam of magic, but Shinning used his magic to avoid it.

"Twilight listen to me!" pleaded Shinning.

Twilight fired another beam of magic, but Shinning again avoided it with his magic.

"What would mom and dad if they saw you?" asked Shinning.

"I don't give a fuck." answered Twilight.

Twilight fired another beam of magic, but Shinning blocked it with his shield.

"Wow. I'm really impressed. You're so strong." said Twilight sarcastically.

"What would Cadence say if she saw you like this?" asked Shinning.

"Again. I don't give a fuck." answered Twilight.

"This isn't you." said Shinning pleading.

"Oh really now." mused Twilight entertained.

"You've been brainwashed by Sombra!" cried Shinning.

Twilight let out a bone chilling laugh.

"No. I've been freed by my master. Unlike you bastards, he understands my power and ants me to reach my full potential." stated Twilight coldly.

Twilight fired another beam of magic, but Shinning again blocked it with a magic shield.

"I'm holding back." stated Twilight.

"I figured." sighed Shinning.

"Fight me!" demanded Twilight.

"Never." said Shinning dedicated.

Twilight let out an angered growl.

"Then I'l make you." said Twilight.

Twilight turned to face the Crystal Heart.

"Fight me or I'l shattered this stupid heart and master will arrive." said Twilight.

Shinning thought a moment before wincing. He knew he had put the ponies of the Crystal Empire first.

"I'll fight you Twilight." said Shinning defeated.

Meanwhile, the battled raged outside. The Crystal ponies had barricaded themselves in their homes and watched worried as the fighting occurred. The Crystal Imperial Army had collapsed due to the Changeling infiltration and the thus the Changeling forces were easily able to route their forces. Aided by comrades already inside, the Changelings had already gotten into the palace. Cadence began fighting the back until a familiar laugh got her attention.

"Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. It's been too long." said the Changeling Queen.

"Chrysalis." said Cadence seething.

"Why are you helping Sombra?" asked Cadence demanding.

"I see no reason to disclose that information." answered Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis, I will not allow you to aid in enslaving the Crystal Empire once more!" declared Cadence.

Cadence fired a magic blast at Chrysalis, but the Changeling Queen easily blocked it with a shield.

"I defeated Celestia, what hope do you have?" asked Chrysalis.

"Maybe I cannot defeated you, but I must do my best." answered Cadence.

Cadence fired another magic beam at Chrysalis, but she flew into the air.

"You pest!" snapped Chrysalis.

Chrysalis fired a beam of magic herself, but Cadence used her magic to teleport. Cadence then appeared in front of Chrysalis.

Cadence fired a beam of magic at her, but Chrysalis dodged it. The magic flew off before finally crashing into the ground.

"So close." said Chrysalis.

Chrysalis fired a beam of magic herself. Cadence used her magic to teleport away, but realized the magic was headed for the palace.

"No!" cried Cadence.

Cadence used her magic to teleport again in front of the palace. She threw up a shield and blocked the attack.

"As long as Chrysalis is targeting the palace, I stray too far." thought Cadence worried.

Chrysalis fired a rapid beam of magic but, Cadence blocked them all with her magic shield.

"Getting tired yet?" asked Chrysalis smirking.

"No." answered Cadence.

Chrysalis let out a hearty laugh.

"You will be." vowed the Changeling Queen.

Chrysalis flew high into the say and fired a blast of magic. Cadence quickly used her magic to teleport away as the magic hit the ground causing a crater.

"You've left yourself open." said Chrysalis.

Cadence fired a blast of magic, but Chrysalis fired a blast of magic herself. They collided causing an explosion.

"Darn." said Cadence coughing.

Suddenly, another beam of magic cut through the smoke and hit Cadence. It sent her crashing into the palace.

"You were saying?" asked Chrysalis, smiling.

Chrysalis too aim to fire again, but as the smoke cleared Cadence was gone.

"Where did she go?!" asked Chrysalis concerned.

Chrysalis looked around but, she couldn't find Cadence anywhere.

"Up here!" called Cadence.

Cadence fired another blast of magic, and hit Chrysalis who was sent crashing into the ground. Cadence then landed in front of Chrysalis.

"Surrender." demanded Cadence.

Chrysalis only let out a laugh at this.

"You are a fool if you think I will give up that easily." huffed Chrysalis.

Chryalis was quickly engulfed in a by a shield of magic which exploded sending Cadence flying.

"Your majesty!" cried Flash Sentry.

The guard came over to aid his Princess.

"I'm fine. Keep fighting." ordered Cadence.

Several Changelings charged at them, but were cut off by Flash.

"How precious." said Chrysalis sarcastically.

Chrysalis fired a blast of magic at Cadence, but she took off into the sky. Chrysalis was right behind her. Before they could do anything, a loud explosion was heard and they saw smoke bellowing out of the palace.

"It seems like Sombra's pupil has dealt with your husband." cooed Chrysalis.

Several pegasus guards quickly flew over to Cadence's side.

"Hold of Chrysalis while I help Shinning Armor." said Cadence, taking off.

"Yes ma'am!" cried the guards.

"Show me what you have." requested Chrysalis eagerly.

Cadence flew back to the palace and landed. She raced off looking desperately for Shinning Armor. Cadence raced to where the smoke came from and began to call his name desperately. Cadence burst in and was horrified what she saw: Shinning Armor was picking himself off the ground covered in fresh bruises and with blood trickling out of his mouth. However, the thing that truly horrified Cadence was who the attacker was.

"Twilight." said Cadence weakly.

Twilight turned and stared at her former babysitter. The first thing Cadence noticed were her irises.

"Hello Cadence. So nice to see you." said Twilight malevolently.

"What? Who? How?" asked Cadence stammering.

Twilight let out a chuckle at this.

"It seems like we have a new playmate dear brother." answered Twilight.

Shinning tried to walk to Cadence, but he collapsed under his own weight.

"She's under Sombra's influence!" cried Shinning.

"Correct." stated Twilight.

"It can't be!" cried Cadence.

"Oh yes." said Twilight, in an eerie tone.

"Twilight - please listen to me..." began Cadence.

"Spare me." said Twilight, rolling her eyes.

Twilight pointed her hoof at Shinning Armor.

"He tried that shit on me and look at him now." said Twilight.

"It's true Cadence." admitted Shinning, lowering his head.

"But..." stammered Cadence.

Shinning Armor slowly raised himself back up.

"We have to fight her." stated Shinning Armor.

"Cadence, we have to fight her." said Shinning.

"How?" asked cadence overwhelmed.

"She'll destroy the Crystal Heart and allow Sombra to return." answered Shinning.

"True." confessed Twilight matter - of - fact.

Cadence closed her eyes and gulped.

"If we must stop you..." began Cadence.

"Look out!" screamed Shinning Armor.

Cadence opened her eyes and saw a blast of magic coming from Twilight. She quickly threw up a shield and blocked it.

"Awe. You blocked it." said Twilight with mock disappointment.

"As I was saying...if we must stop you then so be it." said Cadence.

"Oh good." sighed Twilight.

Twilight pointed her hoof at Shinning Armor.

"He's been total garbage. I can only imagine who shit he's been in bed." said Twilight.

"Knock it off." said Shinning.

"Is Captain Small Cock upset?" asked Twilight.

"His manhood isn't small." answered Cadence.

"Damn, you can't even defend yourself." replied Twilight.

"Twilight, end the petty taunts." demanded Shinning.

Twilight let out a chuckle.

"So, are we going to battle or what?" asked Twilight.

"Yes." answered Shinning.

Shinning fired a blast of magic, but Twilight easily deflected it with a magic shield.

"Boring." yawned Twilight.

Shinning and Cadence both fired a blast of magic, but Twilight used her magic to teleport out of the way. Thus, Shinning and Cadence wound up hitting each other.

"That was brilliant. Way to go." said Twilight sarcastically.

Twilight used her magic to pick Shinning up and toss him into Cadence.

"Strike." said Twilight.

"Are you okay?" asked Shinning.

"Yes." answered Cadence.

The two picked themselves up.

"Well, come on." said Twilight.

"What do we do?" asked Cadence whispering.

"We have to come up with a plan." answered Shinning whispering.

"Come on." said Twilight tapping her hoof.

"Give me a moment to think. I'm the former Captain of the Royal Guard." whispered Shinning.

Shinning thought for a moment.

"We have to double team her. If we work together, we can stop her." whispered Shinning.

"Cut the whispering dammit!" snapped Twilight.

Shinning and Cadence turned toward Twilight.

"We will stop you Twilight." stated Shinning.
