> Shift > by Lightning_Twister > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Page 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shift is the daugter of Queen Chrysalis and was born as a normal pony, as are all Changeling royalty. Over time Shift (Known as Lightning Twister to her friends) became friends with a unicorn named Light Charmer and a pegasus named Thunder Dasher. Changeling royaly are born as normal ponies but develop the horn, bug-like wings, fangs, holes an eventually the ability to transform as they get older, once Shift gained this ability she was told by Chrysalis that he had to bring her friends to her to be changed into mindless, Changeling drones as they may know of Shift's true self. Shift did not want to dissapoint her mother and teleported Light and Thunder to a small cave, the two ponies were hanging from the celing in cocoons when they saw Chrysalis walking towards them with Shift next to her. Thunder had thought that Shift was captured by Chrysalis, when suddenly bright green flames surrounded Shift, revealing her changeling form. The two ponies had looks of sheer horror on their faces as Chrysalis told Shift. "I will let you deal with these two, they will do perfectly for the army." Before she left the cave. Shift stared up at the ponies, her horn started to glow and the cocoons broke open so that the ponies fell to the ground. They cowered in fear from the Changeling walking towards them, Shift wa now face-to-face with Light. "I'm not going to hurt you..." Light smiled, Shift tried to stay serious but couldn't help but start laughing. "You are the most pathetic thing i've ever seen!" Her horn started to glow, a strange, green, sticky substance surrounded their hooves, Light tried to run away but was unable to, Shift laughed at her attempts. "Why Lightning, Why?" She quietly said to Shift. "Lightning? You actually believed that dumb name?" She started laughing again. "Anyway have fun here, you'll be one of those mindless drones in a matter of hours..." Shift chuckled as she left... > Page 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After some hours passed Shift decided to check on the ponies in the cave. She looked over and saw 2 Changeling drones, one with a bright green mane and one with a black and blue mane. "Hah, those things will barely last a minute in battle!" Shift sneered and walked the opposite direction when Thunder tackled her to the ground. "How did you even...?" Shift asked with obvious confusion in her voice. "Easy, Light has access to Twilight Sparkle's spell book, she managed to use her magic to break us free." Thunder replied. "Wait a second, where is Light?" She continued. A voice was heard in the distance. "Hey, let go of me!" Chrysalis walked in carrying Light by her mane in her mouth. "Shift, would you mind telling me... WHY THESE TWO AREN'T DRONES YET!" Chrysalis yelled at Shift, Shift pushed Thunder off of her and surrounded her legs with more of the green substance. "It was Light, she is able to use the same spells that Twilight can use!" Shift stuttered as she spoke these words. "Hm, well we'll have to fix that won't we... Shift grab her!" Chrysalis commanded, Shift grabbed hold of Light and pinned her to the wall, Shift was a lot stronger than Light was. Chrysalis walked up to Light and chuckled. She grabbed Light's horn and kept pulling untill eventually it snapped off. "You won't be able to do much without this now will you..." Chrysalis threw the horn over her shoulder as she said this, the horn hit Thunder in the head, knocking her unconscious. Shift and Chrysalis smile at eachother, Chrysalis places Light next to Thunder while Shift puts more green goo around her legs. "I will wait here with you this time, to make sure you don't screw up and they escape again." 20 minutes later, Thunder and Light's legs become a dark greyish colour and holes start to appear. Chrysalis and Shift begin laughing. "There's no stopping the effects now..." > Page 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thunder and Light now had a few more of the Changeling attributes, Thunder's wings became bug-like and her eyes became a full blue colour, while Light had holes in her hooves and mane and also had fangs. "How long is this going to take?" Shift asked Chrysalis. "I have no idea. I've never timed it before..." She replied. Light was whispering to a now awake Thunder. "How are we going to get out of here? I don't want to be one of these hole filled freaks!" Thunder didn't reply, she was either in her planning an escape or most likely crying "Fine looks like it's up to me..." Another 10 minutes passed, Light looked over at Chrysalis who was asleep with Shift next to her. "Now's my chance to get out of here." Light looked around for a a way to escape and noticed her horn discarded on the floor, Light tried to walk over and pick it up but was unable to due to the goo around her hooves. "Wait a second, Thunder, can't you talk to those weird looking green rectangle thingies?" "Creepers? Yes I can talk to them, how do you think I got my cutie mark?" Thunder answered. "Well see if you can get one to deliver a rescue message to Twilight." "Ok i'll try..." Thunder closed her eyes and thought. "Creepers, go to Ponyville and deliver a message saying that we are trapped in a cave guared by Chrysalis and that Lightning is her daughter to the pony in the big tree." A small knock was heard on Twilight's door, she opened the door and saw a small creeper standing there. "Wait those are those weird little things that Thunder taught me about, I wonder what it wants?" It started making short hissing noises as it tried to talk to her, Twilight hd no idea what it was trying to say so she got the book that Thunder wrote for her that translates the language of the creepers. "So you are trying to say that Light and Thunder are being held hostage by Lightning who is a Changeling? Pfft yeah right, real funny Thunder!" The creeper just stared at her, Twilight realised that this wasn't a joke, her friends were really in trouble. The creeper started running and wanted her to follow it, she ran as fast as she could as she knew that she was their only hope... > Finale > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Chrysalis woke up, the two ponies had almost fully transformed and they both had smug grins on their faces. "We sent for rescue, Twilight's coming to save us as we speak and stop you for good!" Light said to her. "You really think that stupid unicorn from Ponyville will save you? That's that stupidest thing i've heard from you yet!" Chrysalis mocked. Suddenly Twilight burst into the cave. "Don't worry girls, you're safe now, i'll get you back to normal as fast as I..." Twilight started laughing and turned into Shift. "I'm sorry, it's just so much fun to see you get you hopes up like that!" Then the cave was filled with a bright light, Twilight was almost to the cave when she saw the cave light up. When the light died down, Chrysalis looked over and smiled. Where the two ponies used to stand there were now two Changelings with the ponies mane styles. Twilight ran into the cave but then stopped in her tracks, she looked at the two Changelings who used to be her friends and broke down crying. "Lightning, how could you do this to your own friends?" Twilight asked with tears filling her eyes. "Don't even try reversing the spell, it's impossible." Chrysalis told her" But now so you don't tell Celestia the truth, we're going to need to do something about you..." Shift and Chrysalis cornered Twilight. Chrysalis pointed her horn at Twilight. "Equestria will never hear from you again!" Chrysalis smiled as she turned Twilight into stone in a matter of seconds. "There's still a possibillity that she may escape, what should we do?" Chrysalis pushed the stone Twilight over, shattering it instantly, Chrysalis smiled at Shift. "Now we begin to plan our attack..."
