The Chrysalix-Chapter 7

Raging Storm

Shining Armor and his generals wasted no time in getting everyone into position.  With the Pegasus group in place in Cloudsdale, Aisha could communicate with the other fairies down below in the fields to coordinate the air assault.  Musa and Tecna were with Twilight, Rarity and Night Burst along with the rest of the unicorns at Neihagra Falls ready to fire at any vile creature that the Earth and Pegasus would miss.  Shining Armor then got the rest of the Earth ponies lined up with General Juggernaut at his side.  Shining Armor and the princesses worked out an arrangement if things were going bad, they would intervene.  Stella and Bloom were flying to try and sense when the enemy would make its presence known.
“Do you feel anything,” asked Bloom.
“No, my staff hasn’t reacted to anything.”
“This was always the worst part.”
“I know!  I hate the waiting!  I wish they would just hurry up and get here!”
At that moment, the sky grew dark and storm clouds rolled in.
“Nice going Stella,” said Bloom snidely.
The others saw the change in the sky and braced themselves for what was about to happen.
“Steady!  Steady,” cried Aisha as she tried to calm the Pegasus.
At the Falls, Rarity looked over at Night Burst.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m just worried.”
“About what?”
“I already know how bad things are going to get.  I just hope that things will change now that I’ve warned everyone about it.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll get through this,” said Twilight.
“How can you be sure,” asked Night Burst.
“I’m not to be honest.  But I believe in my friends, the other ponies and you and your fairy friends.  We can do this!”
“Twilight’s right!  Let’s show those witches and that Chrysalis what for,” cried Musa.
The other unicorns cheered.  Down below, the field soon became overrun with creatures from the Army of Decay, Changelings and some mixture of the two.
“Come on Stella, time to activate the spell,” said Bloom.
“Right!”
“Eyes be open to all that is cloaked.  Deceitful magic shall not be evoked!”
Bloom and Stella designed a spell to make it easy for everyone to see who was a Changeling.  They soon landed next to Shining Armor along with General Juggernaut, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Roxy.
“Spell has been cast,” said Bloom.
“Thank you ladies.  How does it look?”
“They look nasty that’s for sure,” said Stella.
“Ah think he was referin’ to how big the army that’s headin’ our way is,” said Applejack.
“They seemed to be quite large in numbers,” said Bloom.
“Number do not win a battle,” said General Juggernaut.
“No, but I bet they help,” said Shining Armor.
Soon, an evil cackling could be heard and then they appeared.  First Darcy, then Stormy and then Icy and Chrysalis.  They stood atop their transport, looking down at the sight before them.
“So, this is Equestria,” asked Icy.
“Ew, it’s so pretty,” said Stormy in disgust.
“And overflowing with niceness,” said Darcy in the same tone.
“We’ll make sure to change things up around here,” said Icy evilly.
“As long as I have a chance at the ones who banished me in the first place, I will be satisfied,” said Chrysalis.
“Once we take out those Princesses, it will be easy for them to fall,” said Darcy.
“Don’t forget those stupid pixies, too,” cried Stormy.
“Yes of course.  We can’t forget about them can we,” said Icy.  “Send in the troops!”
The monsters on the ground picked up speed and was approaching the Earth ponies fast.  Shining Armor signaled Roxy and she then contacted Aisha to send in their first wave.
“First wave on deck!”  The first group of Pegasus got ready with their clouds of lightning.  “NOW!”
A swarm of Pegasus ponies descended from Cloudsdale; lightning strikes from their clouds aimed at the monsters.  Many monsters were fried; but their numbers didn’t seem to dwindle.  Shining then asked Stella to signal the unicorn group; Musa received the message.
“OK guys!  It’s our turn now!  Fire at will!”
The unicorns unleashed their magic which seemed to help.  Icy began to give orders.
“Stormy!  See if you can take out the flying ponies!  Darcy!  Get rid of the unicorns!  Chrysalis, you’re with me on the ground.”
Back in Cloudsdale, the second wave was getting ready as the first wave returned to refresh their clouds.
“Wave two on deck!”
But before wave two could get set up; a freak tornado appeared.
“What the?!  Who ordered a tornado,” cried Rainbow Dash.
“That’s no ordinary tornado,” said Aisha.
Stormy cackled as her tornado caused the ponies to scatter.
“Everypony stay calm!  And get back into formation,” cried General Tornado.  He then turned his attention to Stormy.  “So you can create tornadoes, huh?  Well, two can play that game!”
The General began to fly in a circular motion creating his own tornado; it barely swallowed Stormy’s.
“Wow, I’ve never seen anyone take out one of Stormy’s tornadoes with their own,” said Aisha.
“He’s the best at creating tornadoes!  He’s a legend in the weather group,” said a random Pegasus.
“Well, we need someone to take her out!  We can’t send another wave if she keeps attacking,” cried Rainbow Dash.
“I’ll handle Stormy!  You get the others back on track,” said Aisha.
“No way!  I’m gonna help you take her out!”
“She’s too strong for you; if you had magic I’d consider it but the others need your help!  Please Rainbow Dash!”
“But…”
“She’s right!  I need your help Rainbow Dash,” cried General Tornado.
“Ok, but I’m steppin’ in the minuet things get bad!”
“Very well,” said Aisha as she flew towards Stormy.  “Hey!  Frizz Head!  Watch where you’re aiming that thing!”
“How DARE YOU!  You will pay for that comment about my hair!”
Stormy unleashed her lightning attacks and Aisha did her best to dodge them.  Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and General Tornado managed to get the second wave group together.
“OK second wave!  Get in there and fry those monsters,” yelled Rainbow Dash.  Another wave of Pegasus armed with lightning clouds descended upon the monsters below.  Rainbow Dash looked to see how Aisha was doing; it was looking bad.  Aisha was cornered by Stormy.
“Since you’re a water type; what do you think will happen if I hit you with a full blast of lightning,” she smiled sadistically.
But before she could fire, something fast and colorful knocked her down.
“Don’t mess with my friends,” said Rainbow Dash.
“What are you doing,” cried Aisha.
“I told you that I would step in if things got bad.”
“Thanks; I really appreciate it.  Come on, let’s take this witch down!”
“Let’s go!”
