"My queen please, the more I know of your motive the better I can preform if it is for nothing frivolous." Blaze stated in a hushed tone, lightly stomping his holed hoof.
"Very well general, those ponies turned my last hive against me and I want revenge." Queen Chrysalis spoke with a noticeable growl. "Now what do you have to report?" she asked calming her voice.
"Nothing new my queen." Blaze spoke giving a bow. Giving a huff Chrysalis cut the connection causing the red mist to fade. Sighing to himself Obsidian Blaze transformed back into Applejack and went to sleep.
"Morning Applejack!" Pinke Pie yelled as Blaze entered the kitchen.
"Mornin'." Blaze replied giving a yawn. "Hey Pinkie I need to talk with you and the girls about something." Blaze spoke never making eye contact.
"Oh is it about you being a changeling?" the pink mare asked hopping to the oven and pulling a batch of cupcakes out.
"Wha-" Blaze started before being cut off by the opening of a door. A servant walked in surprised to see the two mare before backing out of the room apolgizing profusely for her intrusion. "Now what makes you thing I'm a changeling?" he asked making sure nopony was near.
"Well you've been acting strange, haven't argued with Rarity, and spending a lot of time with the Royal blacksmith." Pinkie spoke as Blaze's despare grew.
"Any pony else know?" he asked lowering his head and covering his face with the farm mare's hat.
"Nope." Pinkie spoke up jumping gleefully around the room. "You gonna tell them?" she asked jumping to the fridge.
"Maybe." Blaze spoke. "Just don't tell any pony before brekfast, I want a chance to explain my self." he continued sternly.
"I pinkie promise, cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye." Pinkie said.
"Well I am concerned about her too, she has been acting strangely as of late." Rarity spoke as Pinkie Pie bounced into the room followed by Obsidian Blaze. "Good morning darlings." Rarity stated in a sing song tone.
"I need to talk to all y'all about somethen', right now." Blaze spoke in a commanding tone that rivaled Celestia and Luna's own. "I'm not Applejack." Blaze spoke. A sudden flash of read flame appeared revealing an expressionless changeling. "I am General Obsidian Blaze of Queen Chyrisalis' hive." he spoke. "I-I need your help." Blaze continued lowering himself into a bow.
"First, why revile yourself?" Celestia questioned setting down the tea she had been drinking.
"Yes this is most intreging." Luna spoke up.
"Well it is something my mother insisted on." Blaze stated pointing to Queen Radiance. "and Queen Chyrisalis' pathetic reason for me to be here." he continued.
"What reason?" Celestia asked looking Obsidian Blaze sternly.
Unfazed Blaze plainly answered "Revenge.". "She has lost her honor and by changeling code she must be brought down by one of her hive. I am the only one than can stand up aginst her in open conflict." he continued listing his jagged horn. A red flame slowly spread engulfing the room.
"You know we must, she shows little care for those below her." spoke a female changeling adorned with a insect like helmet.
"Who is that?" Twilight asked. Quickly turning around the changeling mare lit her own horn.
"Ah general." spoke the changeling. "That earth mare is on here way to your location, I estimate a day or two if she keeps her pace." she continued covering her muzzle as she giggled.
"Good work lieutenant." Blaze spoke before canceling the spell returning the room to normal. "What of your decision?" he asked turning to the three princess.
"I am probably trusting you too much but what do you need." Celestia spoke before taking a sip of tea.
"Unrestricted access to the Canterlot archives." Blaze spoke plainly.
"Surely you are joking." Luna stated shocked by the request. Showing no signs of joking Luna gulped turning to her sister who seamed to be pondering the question. "Sister you can not be seriously considering this." Luna spoke shocked by her sister.
"Very well, so long as you are accompanied by a princess." Celestia answered.
"I'll go with you after brekfast." Twilight stated, happy to have an excuse to go to the archives.
"No no no!" Blaze shouted slamming a large tome back on the shelf. Looking further down the aile he noticed a lone door. Walking closer he felt a surge of magic as his disguise fell. Lookin to his right he noticed two guards looking at him shocked. Turning around Twilight noticed the guards and explained the situation as Blaze attempted to redisguise himself.
"That ward prevents all magic around the restricted section." Twilight explained.
"It's not the ward I can't concentrate, there's something in there." Blaze stated rubbing his head. Looking confused Twilight entered the restricted section followed by a dazed Obsidian Blaze. "That hammer wher is it from?" Blaze asked pointing to the center of the small room.
"Says here that it was created by the unicorns to make..." Twilight trailed off gasping.
"To make weapons and armor to combat entities of powerful magic." Blaze finished his headache disappearing. "This is what I've been looking for." he finished grasping the hammer in a holed hoof. Growing angry Blaze flared his magic breaking the rooms protective charm and lifting the hammer.
"H-how did you, just , wha?" Twilight babbled of how impossible this should be. Obsidian Blaze left the room with Twilight on his back as she continued to ramble. Entering the throne room he set Twilight down as she rambled earning a glare from Celestia.
"What happened?" Celestia asked before looking at the hammer. "Where did you get that?" she asked angerly. Calmly Blaze explaned what happened in the archives. Groaning he blasted Twilight with a wave of magic knocking her out.
"She's alive." Blaze stated with an annoyed tone. "And this is from the restricted section of the archives." he continued. Leaving the room Blaze went to the royal forge.
"Well he has quite the amount of ordacity to do that." Luna chuckled, Twilight holding a bag of ice where her head hit the wall. Entering the room Blaze was wearing a dark helmet and chest pice along side black and dark red cloth covering his neck and back, wings lowered on top of the fabric. Adorning his left flank was along sword of jagged design. Looking closer Luna noticed a dark hammer strayed to his right side.
"General Obsidian Blaze at your command." Blaze spoke, his voice slightly muffled by the helmets face guard.
"Princess' there's a changeling here!" Applejack shouted bursting into the throne room.
"We know." Celestia stated waving a hoof to Blaze. "Go get your friends." Celestia commanded.
"You asked for us?" Twilight asked entering the room with her friends.
"Yes, I've ordered General Blaze to take one of you with him." Celestia stated with a hint of nervousness in her voice. Looking at the six mares Blaze pointed to Twilight.
