Does it matter if I am a changeling or not?

by General Sparky


Escape the changeling hive

After the failed Canterlot Invasion....

"I WAS PROMISED SUCCESS! And WHAT DID YOU BRING ME?!" Chrysalis shouted to her generals.

"Um....it was all due to Sparky." General Mantis said.

"Yes, it was all Sparky's fault." General Broken said. Queen Chrysalis stared at the generals with fury in her eyes. "Sparky's fault? Sparky's fault? Knowing her she would NEVER plan something like this." Queen Chrysalis yelled in anger.

The Generals stared at each other, with only one question in their heads, 'why does the Queen look so sure of the situation?'

"Sparky is an adviser. But you three are her commanding officers. Tell me who should I blame?"

"Sparky is the one who draw up this plan, we merely approved it." General Killer said.

"Is that true?" Queen Chrysalis asked.

"Sparky is not even in the invasion with us, doesn't that make her seem a bit suspicious?" General Broken asked.

"My Queen, think about it, if she wanted us to succeed, then why would she not join us in the front lines?" General Mantis asked.

"I see your point. Killer bring this traitor to me." Queen Chrysalis ordered.

"Yes, My queen." General Killer replied. 'Look likes Sparky is going to have a fun time' General Killer thought.


Location: Deep beneath the Hive

"Hello? Is anypony down there?" Thorax asked as he is walking down the steps.

"Thorax? What are you doing here?" Sparky asked.

"Sparky? Is that you?"

'Yes."

"Thank Celestia you are down here, I was looking everywhere in the hive for you." Thorax said, as he saw Sparky tied up in chains against a wall.

"Why have you been finding me? Or should I ask what is your purpose in doing so?" Sparky questioned Thorax.

"You are my friend and that Killer is coming to get you executed." Thorax explained.

"What?!"

"I heard that General Killer is coming to kill you, or least I think he is."

"Quickly get me out of here!" Sparky yelled, suddenly fearing for what is about to happen.

"Oh yes. Um... how do you break these chains?" Thorax asked, not knowing what to do.

"Maybe heating it could work, wait, no, maybe.., no, it doesn't work." Sparky thought out loud.

"Do you have anything sharp to maybe break the chains?" Thorax asked.

"No. Wait, our horns are sharp, use your horn to pierce these chains." Sparky said, using her eyes to gesture her horn.

"But what is I pierce too deep, I may kill you!" Thorax yelled, with doubt clouding his mind.

"It is either Killer kill me or you will. So, just get on with it." Sparky said, while closing his eyes, not wanting to look at Thorax.

"Okay, here goes nothing." Thorax said. Thorax started to place his horn in between the gaps in the chains and raise his horn up in one swift stroke. The chains on Sparky dropped with a long 'clang'. Thorax looked at the results and stared it with glee.

"Sparky, open your eyes!" Thorax shouted with excitement in his voice. Sparky did as she was told. The chains around her did drop and that her body was not harmed at all! However, the happiness was short-lived as the sound of hooves 'clip-clopping' started getting louder.

"Oh no. That must be Killer, what do we do now, Sparky?" Thorax asked, with fear showing on his face.

"Let him come." Sparky simply stated.

"What?! Are you crazy? He will kill you!" Thorax yelled.

"Yes. I am crazy, crazy to finish this once and for all." Sparky said, looking ready to kill and sporting an evil grin.

"Thorax, get on my back." Sparky said, looking at Thorax.

"Why?" Thorax asked, looking worried for what is coming.

"Do you want to live?" Thorax nodded. "Then get on my back, and grip my neck tightly. I am not going to let you go." Sparky said, almost sporting tears on her face. Thorax did as he was told and got on Sparky's back and using his fore hooves to grip Sparky's neck tightly. The sound of hooves 'clip-clopping' gets louder and louder until there was complete silence. Killer had arrived.

Despite seeing Sparky free, Killer did not look surprised. "Taking hostages now I see. How low do you want to go Sparky?" Killer asked calmly.

"As low as I need to." Sparky replied, staring deeply into Killer's eyes.

"Suit yourself." Killer said, before drawing a sword and pointing it at Sparky.

"Just because you have a sword does not mean that I am dead." Sparky said, maintaining eye contact with Killer. Killer did not say anything but smiled. Killer quickly stab Sparky but Sparky instead use the attempt and slid past him.

"See you later!" Sparky exclaimed, while running up the stairs as quickly as she can.

'Guards, stop Sparky at all cost, he is a traitor.' Killer said through the hive mind while rushing up the stairs to catch Sparky.

"Halt!" one of the guard shouted, seeing Sparky flash past him. Sparky instead ignored him and kept running towards the hive entrance. However, two guards were stationed at the hive's entrance.

"Halt!" The entrance guards yelled as Sparky approached the entrance. Sparky suddenly skid to a halt and stared at the two guards in front of her. 'There is two guards, probably some behind me. Come on, Sparky think. Kamikaze, no that wouldn't work. Maybe, yes that could work.' Sparky thought to herself.

"Hey guards, come and get me!" Sparky shouted. The guards charged at Sparky with their spears pointing forward.

"Sparky, what are you doing?!" Thorax asked.

"Prepare for a ride." Sparky replied, as she spread out her wings. As the guards approached, Sparky managed to fire a stunning spell to one and tackled the second guard with Thorax on her back. During the tackle, Sparky managed to knock out the second guard and took his weapon before running out the entrance.

When Sparky is out of the entrance, she spread her wings and flew. However, there were five guards on her tail and started firing spells at her. It does not help that one of the pursuers is Killer.

Due to their distance away from the pursuer, most of the bolts did not hit her. Unlike the pursuers, Sparky was slow in flying in the air, which means that the pursuers are closing the distance. "Sparky, they are gaining on us!" Thorax yelled, fearing that the escape attempt will fail.

"Time to loose them." Sparky said with determination to take out the pursuers. Sparky then use her wings to climb in altitude. The pursuers saw this and also rise in altitude. Once at a certain altitude, Sparky nose dive and spray magic spells at the pursuers. The spells was a stunning spell, aimed to disable the pursuers from fighting for a period of time. This sudden change in events managed to catch the pursuers off-guard and three pursuers were stunned and slowly fall to the ground. Only two pursuers remain and one of them is Killer.

The two remaining pursuers then quickly dive to catch up with Sparky and continued the barrage of spells. Sparky did not change course and land on the ground. Upon reaching the ground, Sparky fired a number of stunning spells at the two remaining pursuers. One was hit and fell to the ground slowly. Killer managed to dodge Sparky spells and threw a spear at Sparky. Sparky saw it coming and quickly flew out of the spear's range. Back in the air, Sparky launches a last ditch charge at Killer, who was trying to get out of his dive.

Sparky flew behind Killer and get close enough for her to strike a devastating blow to the still falling General. Killer tried to fire a spell at point blank range but the spell missed it's target. Sparky then use her hooves to push Killer such that He would be falling more diagonally to the ground, which helps reduce the impact of his fall.

"You are saving me? Why?" Killer asked, noticing Sparky's action.

"Because you are a life worth saving." Sparky explained simply. Sparky's response shocked Killer, not believing what was in front of his eyes. He had little time to think before his body made contact with the ground.

As soon as Killer was on the ground, Sparky said, "Hopefully, we will never see you again, General." Sparky heaved a sigh of relief before flying off.

"So, Sparky, where do think we should go from here?" Thorax asked, still clinging tightly to Sparky's neck.

"I don't know, let's try Ponyville and see where it leads us." Sparky replied, as she flew in the direction of Ponyville.
