Teleporting to the Hive at such a long range nearly wiped out Chrysalis the first time she preformed it just to get to Canterlot. She was greatful that her heirs' instincts told them to assist her in the teleportation spell this time around and a filly-second later they were at the entrance of the Hive. "Welcome fellow changelings and changelings-to-be, this is our home. I know it isn't much to look at but it does its job, we are safe here since not many creatures show up in these parts." Chrysalis spoke in a calm mother-like tone but she could feel the drones getting restless in the Hive Mind and she knew in her weakened state she would not be able to hold them off much longer. "Slowly come to them drones, any who overwhelm them will not like the consequences..." She added in the Hive Mind and in slow increments, more and more changelings came to thank, love, comfort, and even worship the new queens. At first the Changeling 6 were a little freaked out but they soon got used to the affection, and they all seemed to fully enjoy it as they started to actually, to their surprise, produce a tiny trickle of love for each changeling that came to them.

"You truly are queens..." Chrysalis said in amazement as the scene unfolded before her in the Hive Mind, even she could feel the love. "I think I made the right choice..."

"Too late if you did choose wrong anyway." Pinkie said outloud while she giggled before focusing on the Hive Mind again.

"Point noted..." Chrysalis grumbled to herself but three little hooves tapping on her front fetlocks snapped her back to attention.

"When do we become changelings?" Applebloom asked.

"Oh yes of course! That will be done after the tour my dear little drones, can't turn you without knowing where everything is now can we?" Chrysalis said as they started into the Hive, where they were physically welcomed by every changeling in the hive, each of them in a deep bow.

"Actually you can since our changeling senses will tell us where everything is at." Applebloom retorted. Chrysalis stopped in her tracks and mentally facehoofed.

"You know Applebloom... you raise a very very good point..." She said with a sigh before switching to the Hive Mind. "Why do I get the feeling this was a bad idea..."

"You aren't the only one..." Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow added. "They look small, but they are aggravating hooffulls, there is no telling what those three can do as changelings..."

"Like I explained at the castle," Chrysalis said extending the private chat to the other three queens. "They will be drones, and we should thank the First Mother for that since all you will have to do is order them to cool it if they get too out of hoof so to speak..."

"Good point.." Each of them stated in agreement as they walked into the nesting and birthing area that held the chrysalises. To each queen's surprise, the little drones-to-be had already managed to find three coviently empty pods and were laying in them.

"Well I'll be..." Chrysalis said as she forced a chuckle. "Queen Applejack, Queen Rarity, and Queen Rainbow Dash, will you three do the honors?"

They nodded. "It will be our pleasure Queen Chrysalis." They verbally said before turning to face the worker drones and ordered them to begin The Joining process. The first thing the drones did was seal up the pod and filled it to the brim with a liquid version of the green slime the Changeling 6 were all too familiar with before the pod hardened like a brick. The changelings could barely make out the form of the fillies inside, each in a deep comforting sleep. They stood there watching for about 5 minutes or so before Chrysalis motioned for them to head out the door.

"They will be converted in about 3 hours, so in the mean time-" She was about to finish her statement but the sound of pods cracking got her attention, but she shrugged it off as one of her own drones hatching.

"Um...my queens..." A worker stated to them in the Hive Mind, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Yes?" The 7 queens replied in the same manner.

"Turn around..." They did as they were told and their eyes widened in shock, the pods the CMC were in were already cracking and a tiny horn protruded from each. In the Hive Mind, they could feel the three's presence added to it. They all rushed over to the pods as they burst open, with three drones coming out and laying on the floor.

"Scootaloo, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle?" Their older sisters asked as the CMC finally managed to stand up and give a bow.

"Yes, my queens?" The three drones responded, but now was the moment of truth.

"How much of your pony life do you remember?" That was a mistake, as the three then started carrying on in great detail a bunch of their adventures and how they earned their cutie marks. Just like the Changeling 6, they too looked like their pony selves just with changeling features. "Welcome to the hive." The older sisters smiled before giving the little drones a hug.

"Say where's Queen Pinkie?" Sweetie Belle asked looking around and couldn't find the bright pink changeling anywhere.

"I'm cooking for the feast you silly drones." Pinkie responded. "Go wait in the dining area." The whole group then left out together with the drones resting on their sister's backs.
