You had been invited to attend the wedding of Princess Cadence and Shining armor, so you had gotten ready and made the trip to canterlot castle. With the news of the wedding spreading wide and far only so many ponies could come to it, lucky for you, you had been chosen and invited whether the reason why it doesn't matter.

The wedding was going great! Definately busy with guards on high alert, cooks cooking quickly aswell as event runners getting things setup quickly, there were some hiccups along the way by a purple pony causing problems saying that something was up with cadence but you just blew it off as just somepony who was just not having a good time.

The next day while everything is being assembled ready and everyponies being gathered into the wedding hall for the ceremony, soon the ceremonial brass band dressed in purple and gold all line up by the carpet and the door and begin to play their bugels as Princess Cadence enters with a grin, while the flower girls Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo all hop in infront of cadence in purple dresses and flower crowns while tossing pink petals along the carpet as they move to the altar before dispersing, and Cadence walking up the altar steps beside Shining armor, Celestia and Spike who's the ring bearer.

As Celestia begins her speech Celestia: "Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you-" Celestia manages to say before a voice calls out cutting her off from the doors of the hall Twilight Sparkle: "Stoooooop!" Was shouted across before Twilight Sparkles comes in from the door as the ponies and her friends begin to sigh at the interruption annoyed at what she did since Twilight was against this from when she had arrived. with Cadence getting annoyed and speaking to no one

Princess Cadence: "Ugh! Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother." She states annoyed before quickly quickly snapping out of it and looking like a sad victim Princess Cadance: "Why does she have to ruin my special day.." She says before hiccuping and fake crying before another voice that sounds exactly the same comes from the hall doors Princess Cadence?: "Because it's not your special day!" Was called over as a battered and messy Cadence steps in and infront of Twilight Door Cadence: "It's mine!" Is said by the other Cadence as all the guests gasp at what they're seeing. Before the cadence at looks confused

Altar Cadence: "What? But how did you escape my bridesmaids!" The Cadence at the altar asks before the one at the door answers Door Cadence: "Simple, I just threw a bouquet of flowers and they ran off after it." The cadence by the door answers as the one by the altar just scoffs Altar Cadence: "Hmph! Clever, but you're still too late." After she says that Applejack speaks up confused Apple Jack: "I-I don't understand.. How can there be two of them?" She asks confused while the cadence at the door begins to walk forwards angrily Door Cadence: "Simple. Because she's a changeling. She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!" She calls out as the Cadence at the altars eyes begin to glow a lime green as her horn glows the wrong color before a lime fire makes a circle around her and shoots up like a pillar for a couple seconds as the cadences body begins to burn away to black chitin and revealing Chrysalis who had taken the form of Cadence before speaking once she's herself

Queen Chrysalis: "Right you are Princess and as Queen of the changelings it is upto me to find food for my subjects." She monologues while walking down the steps toward Cadence Queen Chrysalis: "Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered, my fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!" Chrysalis would express getting right infront of Cadences face before backing off a bit Cadence: "They will never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!" Cadence calls out before Chrysalis begins to chuckle Chrysalis: "Oh I doubt that. Isn't that right dear?" Chrysalis asks while her horn begins to glow as she turns to look at Shining armor Shining armor: "Mhm.." He mumbles nodding with his pupils glowing lime green and looking out of it before Cadence tries to rush for him only for Chrysalis to stomp a hoof in the way of Cadence

Chrysalis: "Ah-ah-ah~ Don't want to go back to the caves, now do you?" She asks while her horns glowing as Cadence stops before it stops glowing to walk away back to shining armor Chrysalis: "Ever since I took your place I've been feeding off Shining Armor's love for you. Every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell, even now my minions are chipping away at it." She monologues as the crowd of attendee's begin to look afraid and shocked before looking up at the ceiling Chrysalis: "Hahahaha, he may not be my husband but he is under my total control now." She says as Cadence gasps at what was done Chrysalis: "And I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as captain of the royal guard!" Chrysalis says with a grin and her wings rattling Cadence: "Not my shining armor!" She calls out worried with a hoof extended Chrysalis: "Soon my changeling army will break through, First we take Canterlot. And then ALL OF EQUESTRIA!" She says as she flies up gloatingly Celestia: "No. You won't.. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell. but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self." Celestia says as Chrysalis lands and they both charge at eachother clashing each others horns together like swords fighting for control Celestia: "I can protect my subjects.. From you!" She calls out as she bursts out of the clash and into the air channelling golden light to her horn in a beam at Chrysalis as Chrysalis does the same with green light and beam shooting for Celestia's before they begin to clash beams for a long moment before Chrysalis surprisingly begins to win the clash surprising Celestia before the beams makes it all the way upto Celestia horn and exploding lime green throwing Celestia to the ground sliding a bit before coming to a stop with the tip of her horn blackened from the singing and everypony crying out from shock

Twilight: "Princess Celestia!" Twilight calls over before rushing for her mentor as the mane six also move quickly to check on Celestia Chrysalis: "Hah..! Shining Armor's love for you is even stronger than I thought.. Consuming it has made me even more powerful than-" She says as she zooms into the air spreading her limbs out egotistically with a giant grin Chrysalis: "Celestia!" She calls out as Celestia's talking to Twilight who's listening closely to Celestia worried Celestia: "The elements of harmony. You must get to them and use their power to defeat the Queen!" Celestia says before all the mane six except Rarity toss their dresses off and into the air before bolting out the hall leaving Rarity still wearing hers catching the falling dresses before her friends call after her noticing she isn't following and knowing why Mane six: "Rarity!" They'd call back before Rarity looks guiltily before dropping the dresses and chasing after them herself as she tosses her own dress and accessories into the pile as Chrysalis flaps closer to the door gloatingly laughing at her success Chrysalis: "You can run but you can't hide!" She would call out as a cracking sound begins to sound out from outside before a quake rumbles from the barrier collapsing and shattering down with the sound of whining projectiles coming down from outside and smashing into buildings, roads, ceilings, roofs and windows outside.

You had come to Canterlot from where ever you were traveling from wanting to witness the wedding of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. You had to get frisked by royal guards since the city was on high alert with a giant pink domelike shield around the entirety of it. They muttered something about changelings before letting the train through after they had made sure the train was clear.

As the train stops at the station and as you begin to step out, you begin to hear something cracking and breaking from all around you before the ground quakes with green projectiles raining down colliding and smashing into roads building roofs all sorts before guards begin shouting and rushing while ponies begin screaming, running or fighting against the changelings that were meteoring down and going after civilians.
