[Picture Series] Misguided Love Part 02/21
🕑 Added 2017-08-01 12:03:42 +0000 UTC Twilight and Cadence rode the mine-cart to its end, Cadence then carrying Twilight before teleporting to another ledge, fooling the mind-controlled bridesmaids blocking them with a bouquet of flowers, before finally charging into the ceremony and interrupting it just as Celestia was pronouncing Shining Armor and the imposter as stallion and mare."Ah don't understand, how can there be two of them?!" Applejack asked from the bridesmaids' side of the alter.
"She's a Changeling!" Cadence exclaimed, pointing a hoof at the imposter; "She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power feeding off your love for them!"
The fake Cadence then had a furious look at being found out and convulsed, engulfed in a green magical aura, before soon revealing the true self of the fake. The Queen of the Changelings. Twilight and her friends, however, realized after her explanation that she was going to feed off the love of Canterlot's population, that they had some Elements of Harmony to reach to stop her. They galloped away to recover the Elements from their vault, just as an earth-shattering crash came from outside, Shining Armor's protective shield around Canterlot shattering just as they headed out of the room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You'll never get away with this!" Cadence hissed, before getting a conceited smirk from Chrysalis.
"...you were saying?" the Queen said to the powerless Cadence and Shining Armor with a smirk, watching as the captured Twilight and her friends were forced to walk towards her, Celestia herself captured and hanging helplessly in a Changeling cocoon above them all.
"You do realize that the reception has been canceled, don't you?!" The Queen of the Changelings said, chuckling evilly as she did, before turning to some of her drones; "Go my minions! Feed!" she shouted aloud, her minions then flying off outside into the chaos of an invaded Canterlot, Changeling drones capturing and feeding off of the pilfered love of the citizens.
As the Queen was monologuing and distracted with her own victory, Twilight was able to help Cadence reach Shining Armor, cutting her binds with a spell and telling her to go to him. "Love will gave you strength…" Cadence said, touching her horn with Shining Armor's and inverting his love for the fake Cadence into magical energy. He snapped out of his trance, and now having enough magic and focus to re-cast the barrier, blasted away all of the invading Changelings from Canterlot, the Queen included.
After saving the land, Shining Armor turned to look at Princess Cadence and hugged her, his love. "Oh Cadence! I’m so sorry for not seeing through her disguise, that she wasn’t the real you!" Shining said, tears in his eyes as he hugged the named mare.
Princess Cadence simply hugged him back, softly petting Shining's crest with a hoof, "It’s OK, Shining. I understand. Nopony here knew about
Changeling-kind and their powers before now. It’s not your fault. It's nopony's fault except the Changeling Queen's!"
"...but I still felt bad for mistaking her with you, my future wife…" Shining Armor said with a sigh, "…alright…now since we done saving the day, should we continue the wedding again?" he asked with a hopeful look in his eyes, trying to brush his hoof over Princess Cadence's cheek affectionately, as she always loved for him to do.
When Cadence blushed and avoided being caressed by him, Shining felt very confused and hurt, finding her looking at him with unsure expression. "Shining…about that…I know you love me, and that you're having this wedding to prove that, but..." she paused to sigh, "Shining, I've never thought about you more than a friend…"
Shining Armor was utterly stupefied. "W…what!?"
"I'm sorry Shining, and I know this is hard to hear on the cusp of you marrying that fake me, but I've never loved you. It was the fake Cadence that you asked for her hoof in marriage, not me." Princess Cadence explained, giving him an unsure smile, knowing the absolute turmoil this must be causing his emotions.
"But...but Cadence, I really love you, and you said you loved me! Don’t you remember the time when we start dating three month ago, when you said you've always loved me since we were foals!? Or last week when we agreed on marriage!?" Shining asked, his heartbreak evident in his tone.
"Shining…I was imprisoned by the Changeling Queen for three months…"
"W…what? D…does that mean…"
"Yes, my friend. Shining, it seem like you've fallen in love with the fake me. It’s the fake Cadence that you were dating with all this time. The Changeling Queen."
