My Little Pony: Changelings

The wedding was finally over, and Qunxing Huanghuang and his friends returned to Ponyville. The past few days had almost exhausted Qunxing Huanghuang, so the moment he returned to the Ponyville library, he went into his room, closed the door, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Strange? What happened to Qunxing Huanghuang? Why does he look so tired?"

Spike was a little confused when she saw the look on Starlight's face, and Twilight Sparkle put down her backpack and said to Spike.

"Uh... maybe he didn't sleep well these days. Don't worry about him, just let him sleep."

Just like that, everything returned to normal, but after a few days, Twilight Sparkle went crazy.

"Hmm~Where's the quill?"

Twilight Sparkle ran around, then took out three quills from the pen holder and threw them into her backpack. Then she ran to another bookshelf, took out a pile of books from the bookshelf and looked through them one by one.

"No, no, no! Spike, I need volumes 1 to 36 of the Compendium of Magic. Where are they?"

Twilight Sparkle pulled books from the bookshelf everywhere, and finally found a book bigger than Spike, and threw it to Spike, who lived up to expectations and was pressed down. After Twilight Sparkle took a look, she seemed to remember something else.

"Memory cards. I need some memory cards, Spike. I want you to test me on everything I've ever learned."

After Spike had just crawled out from under the big book, he was buried by the memory card again. Seeing that Twilight Sparkle wanted more, Spike comforted her.

"Don't be nervous Twilight Sparkle, it's just a test."

"Just a test? Just a test! The Princess of the Universe wants to test my academic performance, but you told me not to panic because it's just a test!"

Looking from a distance, the Oak Library suddenly rises from the ground and then falls back to the ground. Looking closely, you will find that something has fallen from it. Yes, it is the stars lying on the windowsill drinking afternoon tea.

What had Qunxing Huanghuang done to offend anyone? He was drinking afternoon tea and was shaken off the windowsill. When he opened the door, Qunxing Huanghuang saw the horses blocking the door.

"Eh? Stars shine, when did you go out?"

"Suilong, I didn't go out at all. I was shaken down from the upstairs."

"Sorry, I just received a letter from the Princess of the Universe. She wants me to take an exam to determine my next study program. I'm so nervous."

Twilight Sparkle said as she was busy, while Starlight rolled her eyes helplessly. It was just an exam, what was there to be nervous about? According to the thousand-year-old mare's bad taste, it must be something boring, and she didn't do the troublesome things that others did.

(Ever since Princess Celestial was picking out desserts during the battle between Starry Sky and Queen Chrysalis, Starry Sky has lost interest in her.)

Seeing Twilight Sparkle carrying so many bags on her back, Qunxing Huanghuang couldn't help but sigh that her physical condition was really good. After Twilight Sparkle took a deep breath through her nostrils, she took a staggering step and walked towards the train station.

Canterlot Royal Castle.

Since this is Twilight Sparkle's test, the other ponies wait at the train station, with Spike and Glimmer following behind Twilight Sparkle.

When they arrived at the castle gate, Twilight Sparkle entered the castle, while Spike and Starlight were waiting at the gate.

"Twilight Sparkle, relax, it's just a test."

With Spike's encouragement, Twilight Sparkle walked in with fearful steps.

Afterwards, Suilong and Qunxinghuanghuang waited boredly at the door. Suilong sat on the steps and drew circles with his head down, while Qunxinghuanghuang looked up at the sky outside. The sky really looked like the sky, and the white clouds were so white.

Just at this moment, Twilight Sparkle suddenly appeared from the door. When Spike saw her, he quickly stood up to congratulate Twilight Sparkle.

"Twilight Sparkle, you came out so quickly. Let me guess, you got full marks."

"No, Suilong, this matter is a bit complicated. Stars shine, please come over for a moment."

After hearing Twilight Sparkle's call, Qunxing Huanghuang was a little confused. What did this have to do with her, but she still walked in.

Following Twilight Sparkle, Starlight saw Princess Moon at the door. They walked into the hall, only to see Princess Celestia standing in the middle of the hall with a strange look on her face.

"Uh...what's going on?"

"Stars shine, do you know the Crystal Empire?"

"That's it."

When he heard the name of the Crystal Empire, Qunxing Huanghuang understood that the story had reached the Crystal Empire. After hearing Qunxing Huanghuang's answer, Princess Cosmic said to him.

"When I told Twilight Sparkle that the Crystal Empire had returned, she immediately asked, 'Is King Sombra here?' I remember that I had never taught her about the Crystal Empire before, so I asked her a little. Did Twilight Sparkle learn about this from you?"

"Uh...I think that's right."

Twilight Sparkle waved her hoof and spoke to the stars.

"Oh, Starry Sky, don't be so modest. I still remember the game you played with Spike. The map was from the Crystal Empire in the north to the Bone Desert in the south, to the Changelings in the east, and to the Griffin Island on the right. I've never seen such a huge map before."

"It's just a partial, partial map."

When the Princess of the Universe heard this, she was a little stunned. What game? But the Princess of the Universe did not speak, but spoke to the stars.

"Since you know so much about the Crystal Empire, you can help Twilight Sparkle complete her exam. By the way, I still want to ask, how much do you know about the Crystal Empire?"

After thinking for a while, Qunxing Huanghuang looked up and said to the Princess of the Universe.

"Hope Love... Wait, I got it mixed up, it's Radiance of Hope."

When she heard the horse's name, a look of shock suddenly appeared on the Princess of the Universe's calm face, and then she narrowed her eyes and stared at the stars.

"You are such a strange guy, what else don't you know? Well, I hope everything goes well for you."

Then, Starry Night led Twilight Sparkle out of the castle with a puzzled look on her face. When Spike saw them at the door, he ran over impatiently and asked what happened. Starry Night looked mysterious and spoke to Spike in a low voice.

"Pack up your things, we are going to the Crystal Empire."

When he heard that they were going to the Crystal Empire, Suilong's eyes suddenly widened and his body began to shake continuously.

"The Crystal Empire? King Sombra!"

There was no way out. When playing games with Qunxing Huanghuang, he lost seven out of ten games to King Sombra's enslaved army. Spikelong had already begun to feel traumatized by the Crystal Empire. But then, after recovering from his shock, he saw the two horses getting farther and farther away, and then he ran over in a hurry.

"Wait, wait for me."

Twilight Sparkle and Stars were walking on the road, and Twilight Sparkle finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Stars, do you know anything else about the Crystal Empire? Who is Radiant Hope? Is she the original princess of the Crystal Empire? Tell me."

"She may have held this position, but she gave it up. Twilight Sparkle, I have a strategy for passing the Crystal Empire exam with a perfect score. Would you like to hear it?"

Hearing this, Twilight Sparkle hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head.

"No, this is my own test, I have to complete it by myself. If Princess Space knows that I relied on you to complete it, I will be doomed."

"Okay, I respect your choice."

When they arrived at the train station, the other ponies had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them coming, they came forward to greet them.

"Twilight Sparkle, did you pass?"

"Should we celebrate that you successfully passed the test with the princess? Ah~"

Twilight Sparkle interrupted their celebration and then spoke to them.

"Don't worry, we are going to the Crystal Empire now."

When the other ponies heard the name Crystal Empire, they all became confused. Where is the Crystal Empire? Is there such a place in Equestria?

The train departed from Canterlot and headed north, heading for the Crystal Empire. Outside the train, it was icy and snowy, and the entire mountain range was covered with snow.

After arriving at the station, the ponies walked out into the snow and wind, while Rarity said with a proud look on her face.

"And you laughed at me for bringing so many scarves here."

Looking at Zhenqi who was so proud of himself, Qunxing Huanghuang was a little confused. How could he be warm just by wearing a scarf? What was the principle behind this? Then Qunxing Huanghuang saw Shining Armor rushing over from a distance. He also wore a scarf. Qunxing Huanghuang screamed inwardly, what was the principle?

Then Qunxing Huanghuang saw Suilong fall to the ground with a lot of luggage on his back, and his scarf flying everywhere. Qunxing Huanghuang went up to help and stuffed the scarf back into the suitcase.

"Oh, Stars, you've been a great help to me."

Twilight Sparkle was reminiscing about the past with Shining Armor, and then Shining Armor asked them to leave quickly, saying that there was danger here.

"what?"

"It should be said that it's not just the Crystal Empire that has returned."

Several ponies walked forward against the wind and snow, while Qunxinghuanghuang turned into a polar bear, walking leisurely. However, because of his large size and able to block the wind and snow, the other ponies came close to him, which made him feel a little awkward.

"Something is trying to get in. We think it's King Sembula who cursed this place."

"Sombra King Sombra!"

When Twilight Sparkle heard this name from another horse, she suddenly felt a little tricky. The way the stars used to do was to fight to support the war, and wherever they went, there was war, and it always worked, but that was a game.

But now when she heard this name in reality, Twilight Sparkle was so scared that she gasped for breath, while the stars beside her said.

"Don't worry, he is just barely surviving now. He has no soldiers or horses. He can't even maintain his body shape, let alone me."

"You know King Sembula well?"

Shining Armor was a little confused after hearing their conversation. Could it be that Princess Celestia told them? Suddenly, a soft voice sounded.

"Look! What is that?"

Shining Armor exclaimed immediately after seeing this.

"Let's go, we have to get back to the Crystal Empire, quickly!"

After hearing what Shining Armor said, Starry Sky immediately stood up, hugged all the ponies around him in a bear hug, and then rushed towards the Crystal Empire at a high speed.

It would be easy if I were just a bug, but with them around, it would be difficult to fight back. It would be better to escape from here first.

There were three horses on the left and three horses on the right, with spike dragons on their heads. Qunxing Huanghuang felt that he was a little slow, and then he turned into a roc. The horses were also thrown onto his body by Qunxing Huanghuang. He grabbed the shining armor and rushed forward, smashing directly through the protective shield of the Crystal Empire.

Starlight fell to the ground, and the other ponies also rolled down. Twilight Sparkle rubbed her head, then looked at Starlight who was about to walk out.

"Stars shine, where are you going?"

"Huh? Isn't it obvious? Of course I want to get my revenge. I still have to consider King Sombra when he was in his prime, but now I can't even eat my lunch today if I don't beat up a weak and pathetic guy who can't even maintain his own body!"

"Hi! Stars, we just had lunch and you enjoyed it so much. Did you forget?"

"Peach, stop making trouble. Come back quickly, Stars Glory. The safety of the Crystal Empire is our priority."

Qunxing Huanghuang flapped his wings helplessly and turned back into a pony. Looking at the gathered ponies, Qunxing Huanghuang spoke to the Shining Armor not far away.

"Well, what should we do next?"

"First go to the castle and find Yinyun, then we can discuss this matter."

Then the ponies had time to look towards the Crystal Empire. The entire empire was made of crystals, glittering under the protective shield. Rare eyes could not take their eyes off it.

"It's so beautiful. So beautiful."

"Oh my god, I am simply... I am speechless."

"Focus, Rarity. We're here to help Twilight Sparkle, not to see the scenery."

Then they followed the Shining Armor into the castle, and the Stars saw Princess Cadence sitting on the crystal throne at a glance.

At this time, her horns were glowing blue, supporting the protection of the entire Crystal Empire. All the stars couldn't help but complain to Twilight Sparkle.

"Honestly, what's going on with these two? The first time I saw him, Shining Armor was holding up the shield and looked weak, and the second time it was Princess Cadence. Are they so destined to be with the shield? Ahhh~"

After hearing the complaints from Starlight, Twilight Sparkle stepped on his hoof hard, then ran over with a smile.

"Princess Yinyun."

When Princess Yinyun heard Ziyue's voice, a smile finally appeared on her listless face, and she quickly ran down from the throne. Then the two ponies began to jump happily.

"Sunny, sunny, the ladybug is so lazy, flapping its wings left and right, and wagging its tail. Hahaha~"

"When Equestria is safe again, we'll find a day to have a good reunion."

Princess Cadence said weakly, while Twilight Sparkle asked with concern on her face.

"Are you OK?"

"Princess Yinyun has been using her magic to spread love and light. She can still protect this place for the time being, but she hasn't slept or eaten for a long time. I want to help her, but my protective magic can't withstand King Senbula."

Shining Armor said with concern, patting Princess Cadence's body, his face full of heartache.
