“So that's all the competitors?”
“Yes, unless you could think of something we forgot.”
“Hmmm, how about:”
Soarin vs. Starlight Glimmer
Big McIntosh vs.Bulk Biceps
Octavia vs. Maud Pie
“I'll allow it. So let the fights begin. Hahahahahah(FART). Sorry I get gassy when I get giddy.”
“A toast, may the best pony win.”
“Yes and may that nag Starlight Glimmer die a horrible death.”
The clinking of goblets and the drinking of libations was the completion of a deal between Sombra and Chrysalis. The plan abduct everyone on their fight list and have them fight to the death.
--------------------------
Gilda finally woke to see herself in a cage. Looking around she could see that she wasn't alone. She could see 19 other cages with ponies inside. She looked until she saw her best friend Rainbow Dash.
“Dash,”Gilda yelled,“Dash wake up!”
With a slight moan and a stretch Rainbow Dash stood up shakily.
“Oh, my head,” she said trying to knock the cobwebs out of her head,“Where am I?”
“I don't know but it looks like you and all your friends are here as well,” Gilda said.
As Rainbow started to check her cage for a possible way to escape the others started to awake. Luna was the first to speak.
“What is this? Why are we caged like some animal?” Said the princess of the night.
“I don't know,” Twilight stated, “i can't used my magic.”
“Neither can I,” said Rarity
“Same here,” said Sunset
“So its a fair assessment that our magic doesn't work in these cages,” Celestia stated.
Apple Jack tried to buck the cage open with no results. Big McIntosh and Bulk Biceps tried to punch it open, but nothing happened.
“Looks like we're stuck in here,” said Apple Jack
“Eeyup,” Big McIntosh replied.
As they all sat there a slight sniffle could be heard from a yellow pegasus. Everyone knew it was Fluttershy. Yet, another set of sniffling started from the other side of the room. It was Cadence.
“Who would do this to us?” Said Cadence wiping tears from her eyes.
Shining Armor said,“I don't know but I have a good idea who.”
“Well now let's see,” Pinkie said rubbing her chin,“ It can't be The Storm King. All the yeti's couldn't put him back together. It can't be Fizzle Pop. She went back to her home village to challenge that Ursa for her horn. It can't be Discord. He's in the Delta quadrant with Captain Janeway helping to settle a civil war inside the Continuum. “
“What!” Everyone exclaimed.
“Oh, never mind,” Pinkie continued,“ So the big meany in charge of this attempt of Equestrian conquest has to be Queen Chrysalis.”
“Amazing Pinkie,” Twilight said in a sarcastic tone,“ prey tell how did you come to this conclusion?”
“I can answer that,”Maud said in her usual dead tone,“The bars of this cage are made from the same ancient dark stone Chrysalis used to make her throne. You know the one that blocks everything except changeling magic.”
“Of coarse, why didn't I think of that,” said Starlight face hoofing.
“Great, is there anything else?” Trixie chimed in.
“Oh, yeah,” Pinkie said,“Chrysalis is looking at us through that window.”
Just as Pinkie pointed at the window there was Queen Chrysalis with a maniacal grin on her face.
“Well, well I see all my game pieces are awake and eager to play,” said the queen trotting around the cages.
“What do you mean by game pieces?” Celestia asked.
“Simple you see. An associate and myself are….”
“You mean King Sombra right?” Pinkie interrupted.
“HOW DID YOU KNOW!!” shouted the queen.
“Actually I didn't,” Pinkie replied,“You just confirmed it, he he(squee).”
Chrysalis gave her a dead pan look,“very clever my little pink one. As I was saying King Sombra and I have captured all of you to play a game. Now I know what you're asking what kind of game. A survival of the fittest, a test of strength, blood sport, or to plainly put it. TWO SHALL ENTER ONLY ONE WILL LEAVE. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA(FART).”
“There is no way I'm going to fight for you. You green haired gasbag,” said Octavia in her strongest Trottingham accent.
“Yeah, you can forget it Queenie. I'm not participating,”said Soarin.
“You must be insane if you think I will play your game,” said Zecora.
Chrysalis just laughed again.“You think you have a choice. I guess you didn't notice the rune necklace around your neck. No, that's because you can't see it or feel it until it is activated. Once activated you will do as you are programmed to do. Even kill if programmed. However before you are programmed we need to get you prepared.”
“What do you mean prepared?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“A costume change of coarse. You will dress as warriors of old. You know swords, shields, and spears or whatever your fighting style requires. Of coarse the biggest change will be to your bodies.”
“What do you mean our bodies?” Asked Rarity.
Sombra entered the room and answered,“with this.”
Sombra came in with a device that look like a film projector. It had handles on both sides and a knob on top which said,‘Anthropomorphic level’ with numbers 1 to 5.
“You see,” Sombra said,“ with this device I will be able to make certain modifications to your bodies to enhance the level of skill in the game. Behold."
Sombra turned the machine on and aimed it at Big Mac's cage. Turning the anthropomorphic level to 3. It started with a low hum then fired a beam of light at Mac. There was a low moan coming from Mac then he yelled as his body started to morph into something odd. His front hooves started to split into appendages that he could bend and another appendage sprouted as well. With a loud snap his shoulder joint started to spread sideways from his body and his barrel was showing more muscle definition. Mac's hip joints also let out a large pop as it forced him to sit up more erect showing off his third leg which he quickly covered with his new hands. Finally the muscles in his neck bulged out making the yoke he was wearing snap in too. Mac sat there holding himself breathing heavily trying to rub the pain out of his neck.
“What the hay did you do t’ m’ah brother,”yelled Applejack staring daggers at Sombra.
Sombra turned the device at the farm mare,“the same thing I'm about to do to you.”
The beamed fired again causing Apple Jack to go thru the same transmogrification her brother went thru with a slight difference. She felt a slight tingle emanating from her nether regions. Then she looked down.
“Aaaaah, what da hay happened t’ m’ah lady bits. M’ah milk sacs are gone,”she yelled.
Sombra laughed,“just wait for it.”
A second later Applejack could feel a pressure growing in her chest. First came two nipples growing out of her fur. Then her chest started to swell. She did what she could to cover herself up. However the farm mare was amazed at the transformation.
-------------------
One by one each of the captured ponies and griffon were turned into a hind leg standing hybrid. Then Chrysalis activated the collars and everyone of the captured stood in there cage not worried about their modesty or shame and marched to another room to be prepared.
“My, my, my,” said Chrysalis licking her lips,“it's a shame we're about to kill them. I could really get to know Shining Armor better. Mmmmmmm.” Sombra said nothing mostly because when Rarity and Fluttershy walked by he was totally mesmerized by there beauty. Chrysalis knocked Sombra out of his trance and asked,“A question, why have we not tried the beam on ourselves? It's not fun if they are the only one to go thru the change.”
“You're right,” said Sombra,“besides it might be fun to participate.”
After the transformation Sombra and Chrysalis looked at each other admiring the view. They both had naughty thoughts in there mind. Sombra tried to make the first move but Chrysalis held up a finger.
“Oh, no. Sport first then pleasure later,”she said with a wink.
