===Invasion of Canterlot===
===Returning menace===
When [[{{FIM|Starlight Glimmer]]}} attempted to alter history and prevent the formation of the Mane Six, one of her alterations resulted in an [[Changelingverse|alternate timeline]] in which Chrysalis' forces successfully conquered Canterlot. Many Ponies escaped by fleeing into the [[Everfree Forest]], but Chrysalis eventually discovered their hideaway by posing as {{FIM|Applejack}}. She then revealed her true form and ordered her forces to attack the settlement, engaging [[Zecora]] in a savage battle. Fortunately, this timeline was negated by the actions of Twilight Sparkle and Spike.
 
Eventually, Chrysalis' forces captured and replaced Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, the Mane Six, and Spike, with orders to collect the love of the ponies for them and share it with the rest of the hive. However, Chrysalis saw no threat in Twilight's student {{FIM|Starlight Glimmer}}, who recruited {{FIM|Trixie Lulamoon}}, {{FIM|Discord}}, and the reformed Changeling [[Thorax]] to help her rescue the captives. Chrysalis was initially amused by this attempt, but was caught off guard when Thorax shared his love as she attempted to drain it, causing him to transform. Many of the other Changelings soon followed his example, and Chrysalis found her enemies freed and her former subjects no longer obedient to her will. Starlight attempted to convince Chrysalis to abandon her path of conquest and join her people in their new way of life. Chrysalis rejected this offer and fled, swearing vengeance on Starlight Glimmer.<ref>[[To Where and Back Again]]</ref>
 
Eventually, Chrysalis hit upon a plan to use the [[Elements of Harmony]] to enslave the Ponies in order to create a new hive for herself. To that end, she took on the form of a {{FIM|Unicorn}} photographer and took pictures of each of the Mane Six, as well as stealing a hair from each of them. Using these ingredients, she enacted a spell that created evil duplicates of them, hoping that they would be able to wield the Elements in her service. However, the "[[Mean Six]]" proved treacherous, attempting to take the Elements for themselves, and Chrysalis was nearly defeated by [[Mean Twilight Sparkle]]. The [[Tree of Harmony]] destroyed the false ponies, however, and Chrysalis departed, convinced that servants were of no use to her.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Mean Six}}</ref>
 
===Legion of doom===
Chrysalis eventually ended up alone in an isolated forest, her mental state decayed to the point where she addressed pieces of wood with Changeling faces carved on them as though they were alive. She was unexpectedly teleported from this place to an [[Grogar's lair|unknown location]], where she encountered {{FIM|Tirek}} and [[Cozy Glow]] who had similarly been brought there. When {{FIM|King Sombra}} appeared, Chrysalis briefly believed him responsible for gathering them, only for the true culprit to appear and announce [[Grogar (Discord)|himself]] as {{FIM|Grogar}}. Chrysalis recognized the legendary tyrant, but was also aware of his defeat at the hooves of [[Gusty the Great]], for which she mocked him. Despite this, she bowed to his wishes to try and form an alliance with the other villains, especially after King Sombra's solo attempt to take over Equestria ended with his demise.<ref>[[The Beginning of the End]]</ref>
 
Imperious as ever, Chrysalis chafed at Grogar's delay in taking action, while her other two "allies" proved more annoying than anything else. After their disagreements came to a head, Grogar ordered the trio to retrieve his [[Bewitching Bell]] from [[Mount Everhoof]], where Gusty had hidden it after stealing it from him. Chrysalis attempted to scale the mountain herself, but ultimately realized she needed the others, saving them from an [[Ophiotaurus]] by taking the form of another such creature and then draining its love. Having bonded over their hatred of the ponies, the three worked together to reach the summit, where Cozy convinced Chrysalis to let Tirek drain her magic with the promise that he would return it. She did so, but reacted with horror upon realizing that the three were starting to become friends; she quickly put a halt to such thoughts, and convinced the others to join her in hiding the bell rather than returning it to Grogar.<ref>[[Frenemies]]</ref>
