"You should not have returned."
"But Leader, we did as you asked!"
"SILENCE! I SPEAK!"
The Durant cowered in front of their leader. Those whom had assaulted the strange home of the creatures stood in front of the colony's leader. All of the other Pokemon in the colony stood behind them, mostly consisting of Durant with the occasional Venipede alongside another kind of pokemon, a small bipedial mammalian pokemon of green and brown with strange tuffs that looked like elongated ovals.
The moonlight that came from above illuminated the room, but the leader still managed to be cloaked in the shadows of the room. Only the eyes were clearly visible.
That made it more unnerving.
Next to the leader was another figure. The shadows obscured most of the finer details, but the figure was tall, sitting on a throne that was made of rocks stacked upon each other.
"I ordered you to raid the colony that is near this one." The leader bellowed. "I ordered you to take all that was needed. Yet you come back cowering....because of the Human Trained Pokemon!"
"Leader....If I may say something to help our case..." One brave Durant moved to the front of the group to be clearly seen.
"You may not." The voice of the leader bellowed. "The way I see it, if I see it correctly, if that you manage to lose to a Heliolisk when you outnumbered it twice! The very same one that managed to sneak into the colony and escape!"
"But we obtained supplies! Is that not what you wanted?" Another of the Durant asked.
"True....but you still lost. And there must be a punishment. One that makes sure you do not lose again.
"Daughter, what say you?"
The larger figure leaned forward, and glared at the cowering Durant. "They are not wrong Father." The figure, a feminine voice that embodies power resonated through the chamber. "They did as you asked. We have many supplies needed for the good of the Colony. But lose they did. If they want their honor and pride back, it must be earned rather than given.
"I suggest the Chamber."
"An excellent idea Daughter." The Leader replied. The Durant of trial gasped in horror as several of their Comrades surrounded them, dragging them to depths unknown. One managed to avoid the grabby mandibles, and approached the leader, kneeling as best a being without knees could, and pleade. "Please sir, not the chamber. Anything but the chamber!"
"You annoy me. You get double."
The pleading Durant screamed as he was accosted by three Durant, as he joined his comrades. The Leader turned to his daughter, the figure doing the same.
"Father, what do we do next?"
"Send scouts, and prepare another attack. This is our land. Not theirs.
"They just don't know it yet."
5081588 Then why'd you delete that earlier comment?
It's their land? They may have come here against their will, but the Changelings were here long before they were, so they have no right to take that from them. Plus Arceus specifically chose Equis because the planet was rich enough to support the amount of Pokemon he brought.
King Carapace is not having a good day, also when The changelings actually learn how to combat the durants, there will be hell to pay. and it won't be with gumdrops and Ice cream.
Hey Carapace, are you still sure you don't want that tank?

I kind of don't think they care.
Suddenly arceus.
5081755 Pfft, silly.
Ain't no ants gon listen to nobodeh.
....I am so sorry I gave up on this story after the first two chapters. At first I was overwhelmed after all that stuff going on at the same time, but after everything settled down..
The setting of the changeling empire is flawless and extremly well-thought out, the society, importence of the whole family dynamic. So much planning, and excuted quite different from the usual head-cannon of changeling kingdoms.
The characters are given even more detail then the setting especially Carapace(Damn, I think he is my new favourite changeling). Like the scenes shared between Carapace and Naruto had me clinging to their words. The relationship that Apocalypse shares with well-everybody, not to mention that little bit of a motivational speech between him and X.
I am really happy I came back to this and I hope anyone else reading this comment gives the story a chance as well.

I am extremely eager to know his reasoning as well. Granted it is nice to a have a polite disaggreer on the subject within the universe.
Cough cough,

Yea, nerthebegining I didn'tpick a gender for inti yet. I decied on female to round things out.

yes. Yes it is.
Is anyone else confused by what this species this one is? Because I have been puzzled by what Pokemon these could be referring to for the longest time.Nevermind, I figured it out now, they're Chespin. Though that just raises a different question: why would a bunch of Chespin (which are Grass-types) be hanging out in a colony of Bugs?
Also, going to guess that the "leader" of this colony is a Pinsir and that his daughter is a Vespiquen. Because those are some of the biggest, baddest, most territorial and aggressive Bug-types I know of. And that I can't wait to see what the Colony's reaction to Arceus' message will be.
I'm scared
