Well it was still the evil of Nightmare Moon being shattered to pieces, and Lauren Faust hinted at her being the manifestation of Luna's bitterness magnified by dark magic

As for Chrysalis, we don't know she survived, unless you view the comics as canon, in which she only survives by Team Rocket immunity. Because look how high up Canterlot is, that's a long way to fall, and to use her wings to recover from that she'd have to be faster than Rainbow Dash. I'll presume her dead unless she returns in the show.
