The Rebirth of War: The Story of Changelings

The Interrogation

"Wake him up NOW!," boomed a powerful yet somehow familiar voice.
"We are trying Queen Chrysalis, but he has been crushed by a building, expect him to be out for a while," replied a voice.
"We NEED to find out why he's different." informed Queen Chrysalis.
"Maybe he's just one of the mutant changelings that we sometimes get, also his carapace has shattered or 'cracked' a little bit from the building fall," said that voice again.
"Well if he was we OBVIOUSLY would have known," Queen Chrysalis stated, "I can sense that this Changeling is different even without seeing him. Also about his carapace-"
*GROAN*


"It seems he's waking up," Queen Chrysalis confirmed the obvious.
As soon as I realised that the talking before wasn't dreaming I bolted straight onto my legs, only to fall from pain in my back.
"FUCKING HELL," I thought in pain.
"Seems he's awake right now," said Queen Chrysalis
I thought to myself.


"Get up now Drone," Queen Chrysalis ordered me.
I just laid there staring at her, mainly from fear. I looked at her, she was way bigger than me and had black skin like me and had blueish-greenish hair or should I say a mane she had huge wings and a tail which is the same colour fo her mane. She had fungi on her head to or what looks like fungi (I think it's a crown). She has holes all over her legs and in her wings and tails and has a huge jagged horn. I had a look at my surroundings, taking them in and found that I was in a underground cave system and above me was a roof with a hole to the night sky. I then did the most stupid thing possible, I flew. Even thought I couldn't before, I flew. Adrenaline must play a big part of this as I was 'flapping' them so fast I was emitting a high pitched buzzing noise.


"STOP!" I heard Queen Chrysalis boom.
"SCREW YOU!" I yelled in pain as my back was absolutely killing me.
Then it hit me. A green case of magic was surrounding me and pulling me back towards the Queen.
"STAND DOWN NOW!" yelled Chrysalis.
"NEVER, YOU DON'T CONTROL ME," I yelled fighting back against the magic and the pain just to be pulled back even furtherer. The magic was cushioning and soft but could somehow pull me back.
I put up what I thought was a decent struggle to turn around to see Chrysalis barely even trying. Then it hit me. Queen and Chrysalis. I think I remember something about her attacking Canterlot but I don't know how I knew. After a measly one minute to try and fight I just gave up as the pain in my back was to hard to cope with and my adrenaline had burnt off. I just floated there in mid air why being pulled back to the ground.


When I landed on the ground I turned around to see two Changelings and the Queen Chrysalis watching me. Queen Chrysalis ordered one of the changelings to come to me. I just started backing off with one step for every step the changeling in front of me made. I finally made it the the back off the cave and hit the wall. Fear struck me the Queen may have seen this as she told the Changeling that was coming to me to stand down.
"What's your name if you have one," ask the Queen "I don't know if you are a Drone or not due to your excessive features, but I can see the green aura around you,"
I was about to reply with my real name and confirm that I wasn't a Changeling but something compelled me not to.
"My name is......" I looked up and saw the sky and then saw the moon. I then thought of the mark on my 'flank' as the moon is on it like an Eclipse there was dark and light. I looked up again and saw the light reflect from the moon down to me. I hated lying, but who knows what could happen if I told them the truth.
"Darklight," I finished my sentence meekly.
"Darklight, how would you get a name like that," the Queen asked inquisitively "I know of most Drones that have names, considering Drones only get names if there high ranks or they give each other names through missions between themselves,"
"My name is Darklight, don't like it deal with it," I looked up at the Queen with a smartass smile then quickly stopped it as I saw her reaction to my words.
"Idiot," I thought to myself.
"Well Darklight, how come I haven't seen you or at least heard of you," the Queen replied, obviously still pissed off at my last remark.
This made me think very fast, but just as I thought off something my back gave way causing me to scream a bit and fall down to a laying position. Man who knew shattering your back hurt so much. I just groaned as I hit the floor. The Queen watching this ran up to me.
"Oh great she's gonna finish me," I thought in pain.
But she didn't infact she actually used magic in her horn to heal me. I turned around and saw my carapace had no cracks in it anymore and wasn't as shattered as much anymore.
"T-Thanks," I replied stuttering due to the shock of my back being almost better.
It was still a bit sore but I guess 'magic' couldn't heal everything.
"We NEED to learn more about you," the Queen informed me ignoring my thanks.
I pretended to yawn in boredom but I soon realised I was yawning from tiredness.
"Weird," I thought to myself. "I was knocked out for who knows how long and yet i'm tired"
I just shrugged this off as all the events that had occurred.
"Yes, I put a spell on you when healing you so you wouldn't try to escape us overnight when some of my guards are asleep," the Queen answered smirking.
"Oh great I forgot about the thinking hard thing and everyone could here it," I thought not hardly about that.
"Well played," I thought hard as I fell asleep on the spot. "Well played,"
