Load Full Story Next ChapterWe meet again under the most unusual of circumstances
Inside the dungeons of Canterlot castle, lock inside their shared cell. Chrysalis and Tirek waited patiently for their lawyer to return from her meeting with the princesses and Co. It has been two hours since they hired Raven as their defense attorney, two hours since the glasses wearing mare visited them last, and all they can do is sit or lay on their beds waiting.
The two would mostly sit in silence, not saying a word to each other. They both just laid on their beds, which sat on opposite ends of their cell. They weren't sleeping, just minding their own business. They been like this ever since they finish their conversation about what it was Raven told Chrysalis earlier. Chrysalis was laughing a lot during that little talk, and Tirek can see why the ex-queen change her attitude towards the glasses wearing unicorn so quickly and happily accepted her help. If everything goes well, then after the trial, Chrysalis will have the last laugh at the end and vengeance will be hers.
“Arrrgh! What the hell is taking, Raven so long?” Which is why Chrysalis is so impatient right now.
“Calling her by her real name, now!” Said Tirek. “I thought you didn't give a buck what her name is.”
Chrysalis scoff as she sat up on her bed to sit on her haunches. “Yeah, yeah, so I like the mare, so what! She definitely earned my respect by going out of her way to help us and bring that draconequss down.” she chuckles. “Especially after what she told me.” Chrysalis smiled wickedly. “Which is why I can't wait for this trial already.”
“Which we have to win first.” Tirek said nonchalantly. “If we lose, you can't get your precious revenge, or at least it won't be as satisfying.”
“Please, I may not know anything about Raven, but I can assure you that her confidence in winning the case is pure genuine. My magic may be cut off from me but a changeling's natural ability to sense emotions can't be contained and I felt no emotional sense of doubt, coming from her when she declared, she will win.”
Tirek took a moment to think about that, remembering the exact moment when Raven said she will win.
"It sounds like you worked really hard putting your case together!" Said Tirek. "I could only wonder why you would go so far for us and what do you get out of it? It's not like we have any money to pay you."
"I'm not doing this for payment, I'm doing this for justice. I don't care that two are villains that tried to take over our world, that's no excuse for the injustice being committed. I hate injustice with a passion and Discord thinks he can get away with all that he'd done and not face any consequences. (Raven *SLAMS* her hooves on the table) "WELL HE'S NOT! NOT THIS TIME! That asshole gotten away with too many crimes already since his reformation and I won't stand by and allow him to get away with this one and another thing don't think that I can get you two pardons for your crimes, when I win this case.
"Don't you mean "If" you win?" Asked Tirek.
Raven adjusted her glasses. "No! I don't!" She said confidently.
Tirek may not be able to sense emotions like Chrysalis, but even he could feel the strong sense of confidence radiating off the mare in that moment, but having confidence is only half the battle.
Tirek sighed as he continues to lay on his bed. “It's great that she haves' confidence, but what about proof!? If she can't prove Discord is the real bad guy, then what's the point.”
Chrysalis took a moment to think. “I doubt she would go through with all this without some sort of plan. Remember all the things she said about building her case.”
”I've been studying your case for the past three weeks now and I come to learned that a great injustice is being committed upon you two and I'm here by own free will to help you two."
"And how do you plan to save us since we murdered that dragon?" Asked Chrysalis.
"Simple, by proving that you two aren't the only ones responsible for Spike's death and exposing Discord for the monster that he really is, I don't have time to go into details right now but trust me when I say that when I bring Discord's crimes to light it would make all of yours look like a joke in comparison. I've been working my butt off gathering intel and piecing together what Discord's real plan is, I still need to find evidence to help support my claims but that will come in due time."
“She already admitted that she doesn't have evidence, but she will in due time.”
“Now the only question is where and how does she plan to get this evidence?” Asked Tirek.
“We'll just have to asked her when she gets here.... Whenever the hell that will be.”
Tirek was about to say something, but the sounds of a metal door opening and the clopping sounds of metal hooves coming their way, caught both his and Chrysalis attention.
“Ugh, finally! There's only one reason the guard would show up, now.” Chrysalis said with a hint of excitement.
Tirek may not show it, but he too is excited to speak to Raven again. So, he gets up out of bed to stand, Chrysalis did the same. They both just stood there, waiting for the guards to arrive and escort them to the interrogation room. It didn't take long for the two guards to arrive in front of the cell doors that contained the evil duo inside. One of the unicorn guards, use his magic to unlock the cell door with his keys.
“Chrysalis!” The fist guard said as he opened the door. “You have a visitor.”
“About bucking time.” Chrysalis said as she steps out of the cell. As soon as she was out the second guard began putting shackles on her forelegs. Tirek was about to follow but the first guard held up a hoof to stop him.
“I said Chrysalis haves a visitor, not you Tirek.”
This confused the evil duo.
“What do you mean?” Tirek asked. “Raven is both our defense attorney.”
“I didn't say it was Raven. From what I was told, after the meeting, she needed to talk to the princesses about something in private. So far as I know she's still talking with them and someone else shows up wanting to speak with Chrysalis and Chrysalis only.”
“And who is it that wants to talk to me?” Chrysalis said. Just as the second guard finish putting on the shackles. “Is it Starlight Glimmer?” Chrysalis asked angrily. “Or any of those fuckers that did this to me?!” She said as gestures to her bandage wrap body, still healing from the beating she suffered through. “Because if it is, you can just put me back in my cell right now and tell Glimmer or whoever it is to take whatever it is they want to say and SHOVE IT UP THERE ASSSS!!!!!”
“I can assure you that whoever this is, is not who you think it is!”
That calm Chrysalis down. “Then who the hell is it?”
First guard shrugs as he closed the cell door and lock it. “Hell, if I know, I never seen him before and I’m not sure what kind of creature he is. He’s some really short dude wearing a tan trench coat, a grey top hat, red-rimmed sunglasses, haves a large puffy orange hair, and haves white feathered wings.”
Chrysalis tried to figure out who this creature is, but she doesn't know anyone of that description. But it did sound like whoever this creature is, they're wearing a disguise to hide themselves, and being a master of disguise herself, Chrysalis could tell as much. Sure, she could ask the guards if they have seen anything else they may have noticed, but what was the point when she's just going to meet this guy anyway.
“(sigh) fine, I’ll go speak with my visitor.” Said Chrysalis.
The guards began escorting her away as Tirek just went back to lay on his bed.
Like before, Chrysalis was escorted by guards to one of the interrogation rooms only this time, Tirek wasn't with her. During her walk Chrysalis kept wondering who her mysterious visitor could be and why do they want to meet her. She shook the thoughts from her head as she and the guards reached their destination.
[Canterlot Castle Dungeons, Interrogation room #2]
A lone figure wearing a tan trench coat, a grey top hat, red-rimmed sunglasses, with large puffy orange hair, and haves white feathered wings, sat alone in a chair at the table set in the center of the room, silently as he waited for the guards to bring her here. Soon enough, the door to the room opened catching the mysterious visitor attention. He watches as a royal guard step in first, behind him was none other than the Ex-changeling queen herself, Chrysalis.
Chrysalis was wearing shackles on her forelegs and had a large magic inhibitor ring secured around the base of her horn. A second guard soon entered the room after her.
The second the visitor saw Chrysalis, he noticed how that majority of the former queen body was covered in bandages, anymore and she would look like a fully wrap mummy. It was indeed surprising that she could still walk properly after the severe burn damage she received from Smolder.
Of course, visitor knows all about the fight between Chrysalis against Smolder, Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer, Thorax and Ember. He did see the whole thing, after all.
Chrysalis sat in the chair opposite of her visitor. Getting comfortable.
Once she was seated the guards left the room closing the door behind them. Leaving the two of them alone.
Neither Chrysalis nor the visitor said a word, as they both stared each other down. At least Chrysalis thinks he's staring at her, it's hard to tell with the shadow of his hat covering his eye.
After a long moment of silence. Chrysalis decided to speak first. “So, who are you and why did you call for me?”
Silence.
“Did somebody send you and if so, who?
Silence.
“Aren't you going say something, you called for me. So out with it why are you here?”
Silence.
Chrysalis was getting frustrated with this guy giving her the silent treatment. She doesn't know what game this guy is playing but she doesn't want any part of it.
“Fuck this!” Chrysalis gets up from her chair and walks towards the door. “There's someone far more important that I’m waiting for and I'm not going waste my time dealing with some mute midget.” Just when Chrysalis was about to knock on the door to call on the guards, she instantly froze in complete shock when she heard the visitor voice.
“It amazes me, that after everything you been through up to now, you're still as stubborn as ever.”
”That voice!” Chrysalis thought. ”No, no, it can't be!”
“And just as foul mouth too, but enough about that,” The visitor took off his hat and his wig. Chrysalis could hear the garments being removed, as they were toss aside to the floor. As the visitor continued to speak while taking off his disguise, his voice alone shook Chrysalis to her core. She hasn't even turned around to look at the visitor yet, but his voice was something she thought she would never hear again, one that was silence supposed to be silent forever. Chrysalis dared to slowly look behind her to confirm her suspicions.
“I never thought that I would ever get this chance to speak with you.” Chrysalis heart race as fear began to take hold. “I had so much I want to say to you back when my friends last visited you.” Chrysalis kept slowly turning her head around. “The horrible things you said about me was one thing,”
Chrysalis finally turned around to look at her visitor straight in the eye.
“But I will never forgive you for the things you said about my herd, especially Fluttershy!”
Chrysalis eyes widen in horror at who it is sitting there at the table. With his disguise fully removed, the former changeling queen could finally see that her suspicions were correct. Sitting there was none other than Spike the dragon.
“No!” Chrysalis back away from Spike until her back hit the door. “Impossible, this is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!” she shouted while pointing a hoof at the drake. “You're dead, they told me you were DEAD!!!!” It's true, Chrysalis didn't see Spike die for she, Tirek, and Cozy Glow were KO’D by the explosion. The trio only learned of Spike’s death from his lovers and friends a few weeks ago. Yet here he is, alive and kicking. Only one question was on Chrysalis mind right now. ”HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?”
Spike just sat there with a calm expression on his face. He gestures to Chrysalis seat and says. “Don't worry I'll explain everything, so please have a seat, you and I have much to talk about.”
