The air was filled with an horrible tension as the two dark figures stared at each other in silence.
"Answer me Changeling... Now!"
Sombra said with calm voice.
"What, Who do think you are to give me orders!?"
Chrysalis replied, feeling offended by the stallion in front of her face.
"Do you know who i am?, I am the Queen of all the Changelings, Chrysalis!"
"You haven't answered my question... Changeling"
Chrysalis sighted and finally answered to the stubborn stallion.
"Yes, indeed i released you. You should be thankful for my kindness, maybie you should bow in order to thank me and my subjects"
When Sombra heard this arrogant words from Chrysalis, he instantaniously used his smoke like mist to put himself right next to the Queen's side.
"I shall not bow to anyone"
Sombra whispered in Chrysalis ear, this froze her on the spot.
Suddenly Chrysalis felt a terrible pain in her right side.
She fell to the snow covered ground, shouting in pain as she realized that her ribs were broken.
Immediatly the lesser Changelings began a furiuos offensive against the King.
obviously they were no match for the King's dark powers.
"No... Argh... Stop it, you bastard...!"
Chrysalis was triying to scream but only whispers came out of her mouth, as she saw her defeated subjects being treated in the cruelest of ways.
Some got their wings torn appart, other were having their bones broken, while the rest got stabbed, leaving a pool of red blood on the snow.
While hearing her subjects cries and screams of agony, Chrisalis couldn't help but to let some of the few tears she had spared in her entire life drop out of her eyes.
Her heart stopped as she saw the dark unicorn quicky approaching to her.
She tried to get up, but it was useless.
Sombra then lifted Chrysalis head from her mane.
"What, are you going to kill me!?, try it you monster because i will take you down with me!"
"No... that has been punishment enought for having taunted me"
"What the hell did you just said!?"
"I've seen inside you... Changeling... We have some things in common"
Then, sombra casted a dark healing magic that enveloped all the diying Changelings.
This spell actually caused more pain than the actual wounds, but still was regenating their broken bodies.
"It is done... And now i shall give you a reward for having released me"
"You have nothing that i could possibly want!"
The two horns came in contact as the King's dark magic began to flow to Chrysalis body.
Suddenly Chrysalis felt an extasis, something that she never expierenced before, it was regenerating, energizing, overflowing.
"Are you feeding me!?."
"No... i am saving you and your people."
"what, How is that even possible for you, a unicorn, a pony to do!?."
Chrysalis was staring at the stallion she believed was totally insane as he let go of her mane.
"Now you can feed of the fear and pain of other creatures... and you being the Queen of Changelings can pass this habilities to your subjects and the next generations... Am i correct?"
"HA, you are insane!, completly. How do you expect me to believe in this stupidity!."
Then the King simply levitated a rabbit that was passing by, and stabbed it with his horn.
The little creature's pain and fear actually made the Queen felt like she was being feeded with either love or malice.
But suddenly that sensation stopped.
"But there is a condition for your salvation."
"What happened, Why it stopped?"
"In order to have your dream come true... you must serve me"
"What do you mean with my dream?"
"The dream of saving your people from extincion"
"Go to hell, i will never serve one of Celestia's---"
The sentence was cut in the middle as a hoof slaped Chrysalis with brutal strenght.
"I have nothing to with Celestia!"
The King shouted furiously as he continued his physical assault on the Changelig Queen, hurting her in the face this time.
The lesser Changeling were now too scared of the King due to the brutal torture he gave them some minutes ago.
Still, Chyslis was now able to fight.
She liberated from the king's grasp and she shoot a magical beam with all of her might.
"Curse you monster!"
The king lifted his horn and shoot a beam of his own.
The two beams collided violently, but Sombra's magic overpowered Chrysalis with ease, throwing her body like if it was a doll's.
"Why... I... I am as powerfull as Celestia... Even more powerful than her!"
Chrisalis said, stunned in the ground, almost losing consciousness.
"Because i have ten times the power of Celestia"
The king said with a grin on his face.
The Queen couldn't belive the reality any more.
"What do you want from me, why you just don't kill me?"
"as i said i saw inside of you... And we have a enemy in common"
"Who, who is this hated enemy?"
"The Royal family"
Chrysalis stood up again, she was not feeling alright, but still she was putting special attention in his words.
"Can you see this glorious and magnificent Empire that stands before us?....
That is MY Empire, and i am it's true ruler...
however Celestia and her family took it away from me...
And i will not able to return to my Empire ever again...
That's why i want to help you Changeling...."
His paused voice now became fluid and energetic.
"Swear loyalty to my cause, and i can save your people from their doom!"
"Do you expect me to believe that you have formulated such a plan just now, when you just by coincidence met me. do you think im stupid?"
"I have developed this plan for more than a thousand years!"
Chrysalis didn't knew what to do.
It was all sudden, confusing and almost impossible to believe.
"And how do expect of accomplish this, how can you be so sure of this plan of yours"
She asked with incredulity.
"This moment Is like a perfect storm, this circumstances will never repeat again... It was predestined"
The King now couldn't hide his emotion anymore.
"What the hell do you mean, with that you can't defeat the entire family of celestia that easily...
And what about the Elements of Harmony and its weilders?"
"As i said the conditions couldn't be more perfect"
"I don't care about you delutions, i wont serve you and i won't help you!"
"You will... You have no other choice... All of Equestria must already be warned about your Changelings... You can't turn back now... Is serving me or face a slow extincion!"
The King said with an evil grin.
Chrysalis deep inside knew that he was right.
"And what if i decide to help you, but not to serve you?"
"Then you can still be saved."
The king replied with his calm voice and silence was made.
"And what about the Elements of Harmony, do you have a plan to take them out as well?"
"I have someone that can take care of them"
After another long silence Chrysalis made her final choice.
"I shall help you then, but only as long as you keep your word"
"I will"
"So then, how can we start this master plan of yours?"
"Not too far away from here, inside the Crystal Mountains, there is a underground cavernous system that can accomodate you and your Changelings, and protect you from the bitter cold"
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Inside those caves are crystals that can enchance magic... I want you to use you power to summon every single Changeling back into this mountains, the crystals will help your magic to reach all of Equestria"
"And what are you going to do while i do that, may i ask?"
"I will depart... To the southlands... There lies the key to the destruction of the Elements"
"The key?"
"A pony who has now became my servant... without her knowing"
"And who is this so powerful pony that can destroy the Elements?"
"Trixie Lulamoon"
Having said those words, the king began to transform into a dark cloud.
"I know that you wont fail me or try to run away... Your people depends on that!"
He said before he began moving with incredible speed towards his destination.
The sun was starting to fall as Chrysalis began moving to the north to look for those caverns.
In the middle of a small forest was a little cart with a light blue cute little pony with a pale blue mane preparing for sleep inside.
Who in all of Equestria would have knew that the greatest tragedy of this filly was about to begin...
