"I know I need to get into better shape." Ripple said. "But this isn't really the time, is it?" She teleported quite a distance in front of Apple Bloom and waited for her to catch up.
"I'm not planning on hanging around once Equestria is saved." chrysalis replied. "Just because I'm not going to attack or do anything to your land doesn't make us friends. If you want to have tea and cookies you can arrange that with my successor."

Applebloom jumped in line beside ripple, not surprised to see get ahead of her, and looked at the incoming egg, "ready to go" she said, stooping low in anticipation.
"Maybe I will." Sweetie said, looking ahead now, "We should be getting close now, right?"

"Sure, just one question?" Ripple asked. "How are we going to do this?"
"Pretty much." Scootaloo answered Sweetie. "What do you mean your successor?" She asked Chrysalis. "The new queen of the changelings." Chrysalis answered. "We were in the process of preparing one when all this happened."

"Well, we don't really know what we're up against so we should just toy with it. We won't damage it out nothin', just see how it reacts to being stopped and if it has any defences, like you said.
"Really? I thought you were a lot like prices Celestia and just really really old." Sweetie said.

"Alright. I'll let you do the toying and I'll make sure it doesn't get pass you." Ripple said. The egg was almost above them.
"I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or an insult." Chrysalis said. "But I guess I'm still young by changeling standards. But I can not fulfill my duties as a queen any longer. Providing the changelings with food so they can become powerful, you remember that? So a new queen is needed."

Applebloom nodded and jumped high in the air, landing on top of the egg with a small thud. She then tapped on it to see if it was really solid all the way through or if it sounded hollow. "So you'll have a new ruler that'll be trying to steal love?" Sweetie said in such a way that it didn't sound judgmental, but more as a statement of fact. It didn't even feel very sarcastic. OOC: Just driving that point home

The egg wobbled to a halt and began turning upside down to get the unknown object of it. Tapping on it made the same sound as tapping on a casing around a machine, although there was also a slight vibration with it.
"Yes." Chrysalis answered. "You may not like it, but that is how the changelings have been for many years. And who and how the new queen gathers love from will be up to her. If they survive this. But I doubt they will target Equestria again. That was my mistake, to try and seek revenge. Revenge does not give us love and it was foolish to target someone stronger."

Applebloom ran asking the object to remain on top of it. "Send there's at least one layer encasing it. And I don't know what propulsion system it's using, but I want it."
"Where will you go when they select a new queen?" Sweetie said, now rather engaged in the conservation.

"We can think about upgrades later." Ripple said. "Can you capture it." The egg was new spinning sideways as well, trying to get AB off.
"There will be no more place for me along the changelings, so I'll be send away to live by myself." Chrysalis told her. There wasn't any regret or sadness in her voice though, it seemed she was completely alright with that. "I guess I can travel. Maybe I shall become one of those ghost stories ponies talk about where they see their lost loves in the trees or next to the beach. To spice things up I'll tell them that I hate them. What do you think? It would be a rather amusing way to spend my time."

Applebloom timed her steps and hit it harder, perhaps hard enough to leave a debt if it were softer metal.
"Not how I'd like to spend my retirement, but whatever makes you happy I suppose." Sweetie said, looking back at Chrysalis before turning her eyes back to their surroundings.

The metal didn't dent, but an electric shock strong enough to knock out a regular pony shot through the egg.
The barrier came into view, they were almost there. "So you're not going to steal love by yourself?" Scootaloo asked Chrysalis as she looked around for any enemies. Chrysalis snorted. "Let's just say your princess has done a good job in making me reluctant to use my powers in a more noticeable goal."

Applebloom might have seen fine if not for her sit which only further shocked her. She almost flew of it and landed to the side of ripple, slightly singed and twitching.
"Aww, I figured you'd blame Broly before the Princess. At least based on the story he told me." Sweetie said, at least glass Chrysalis wouldn't do big evil things anymore.

"What happened?" Ripple asked Apple Bloom.
"I would." Chrysalis said. Her voice had changed to a forceful quivering tone. "But then I'd have to think about him."

"Electric... Shock..." Applebloom said slowly, panting and on the ground, but otherwise alright now.
"Understandable." Sweetie said and looked to the dome, "Scoots, can you do a fast fly by and see if there are any friends nearby? You should be able to fly completely silently with the help of my spell."

"Okay, so no big defenses so far, just minor stuff." Ripple said as the egg started moving again. "Can you catch it even with the shock?"
"Sure can!" Scootaloo said. "But you're going to have to foalsit Chrysalis while I'm gone."

"Maybe, but I'll need to insulate myself." She looked around, "How about that." She headed for a smaller tree, maybe half the size of most the apple family's trees, and pushed it clean over, "It's tough, so I should be able to smack it hard with this without hurting it." She said, picking up the trunk, her suit doing most of the heavy lifting.
"I can do that. Be careful up there." Sweetie said, taking a seat under a nearby tree.

"No way!" Ripple objected. "Don't forget there's a changeling inside. It may be tough, but we don't know what knocking it down would do to the changeling."
"Will do!" Scootaloo said and flying off low and fast towards the barrier. Chrysalis sat down not far from Sweetie.

AB dropped the tree, "Alright, then what do you propose, because I don't want to attack it again until I've insulated my suit." Applebloom said, walking up next to Ripple.
Sweetie sat down as well and focused her magic and attention on their surroundings, listening carefully for the sound of anything approaching.

Ripple looked at the tree. "Hm? How about we insulate it instead." She said and cut beams out of the wood until she had enough for wooden box.
"I think I see one." Scootaloo spoke to herself as she flew along the barrier. Just as she saw who it was however the giant robot suddenly flew in front of her and blocked her path. "Whoa! Alright, looks like you're definitely back in action. Can't play right now though!" She said and made a sharp turn around flying back towards Sweetie as fast as she could. The robot gave chase and although it was fast it couldn't keep up with Scootaloo.

"That could work. It be make a tight enough box then it would be able to ram it. And I should be able to control it if it's movement isn't very strong. Having Scootaloo to direct it in the air would be easier though." Applebloom said, watching it make it's slow progress, what are we going to use to hold everything in place? Rope or nails would be best.
Sweetie could barely hear the robot, but felt there was something big moving their way. She just listened intently and hopped It didn't know where they were hiding away.

"Yeah, that should do the trick." Ripple said. She teleported the beams around the egg and a sign and barrel fell to pieces when she teleported the nails and metal binding away from them to fasten her own box. The egg again stopped and try to spin and electrocute the thing holding it, but it couldn't do anything trapped in the box. "Can you keep a hold of it?" Ripple asked AB.
Scootaloo landed next to Sweetie. "We've got company! Let Ripple know so we can get out of here and fast, the robot wasn't far behind me." She said.

OOC: I'm guessing all of everything is spinning with it.
BIC: Applebloom nodded, "I can at least try." She said, running up to it and bracing her feet into the ground. She used both hooves and latched onto the wood to try and stop it spinning at least. She wasn't sure how much strength to use, but wanted to hold tight without tearing the wood off again."
"Noted." Sweetie said and quickly oriented herself in the direction of town. She held her hooves up and made a popping sound with her lips, not unlike a bubble going pop, but the sound exploded forward in a big cone with almost destructive force for the first couple feet. The sound was focused enough that it wouldn't have harmed Scootaloo or Chrysalis, but it traveled all the way to Ponyville where it would have just been audible above most sounds.

The egg tried to keep moving, but it wasn't strong enough to resist AB although it also didn't stop trying. Ripple heard Sweetie's sound. "That's them." She said. "Hold on while I teleport them over." She told AB.
The robot landed next to the three with a thud. "Did I mention it's fixed again?" Scootaloo said as all three disappeared in a flash and reappeared next to Ripple.

Applebloom focused on holding the egg still while Ripple did get thing. "I can see that." Sweetie said after they'd been teleported, "Hopefully it can't track us." She added looking over to Ripple, "how are things over here?"

"We've captured the egg. though Apple Bloom could use some help." Ripple told them. "I'm on it!" Scootaloo said flying over the help hold the egg. "I still need to take a look at all the ponies and then we can go."

"I'll go with you." Sweetie said, "Scoots and AB should be fine here until we get back."

"Alright, let's go." Ripple said and teleported the two of them to the crystallized ponies. Scootaloo had a good grip on the egg and pushed it down on the ground. "You sure there's a changeling in here Chrysalis?" Chrysalis walked over to the them. "I'm sure." She said. "But I have a question. Once you free the changeling, what are you going to do with them?"

"We'll probably keep them where they're safe until this is all over. No sense sending them back only for them to be captured again." AB said, holding onto the egg much easier now.
Sweetie stuck by Ripple and proceeded to keep an eye on their surroundings again.

"Of course." Chrysalis said. "But what I meant is will you keep them in a prison?" She asked bluntly.
Ripple ran pass the ponies making sure to get a good look at all the ponies that was still around. "Okay, I think I've seen them all. I'm going to teleport them to the Crystal Castle and we can double check to make sure I didn't miss anypony." Ripple's horn started glowing and in a flash the ponies around town was gone.

"Maybe. If they still listen to you and don't cause trouble, it'll be easier for us to let them roam the castle." AB said, "We'd have to decide as a group though."
"Amazing." Sweetie said, "I still can't even imagine being able to do that."
