The Rebirth of War: The Story of Changelings

by Anubis Nox


Not again........

Ever been caught doing something you shouldn't have been doing? You know, the one where you first make an excuse and try to lie your way out of it. This was one of those times except for lying, I ran.


"Stop now Changeling!" Twilight's ordered in anger.
I obviously just ignored and ran for that window which was five meters in front of me now.

Almost, ALMOST!!!

Then I tripped on my own hooves like I used to when I was first here. I went flying through the air and was going to hit the window and hopefully smash through it when a wild purple aura appeared and blocked the window and I slammed head first into the purple barrier. I slowly slid down until I hit the floor with a thud. Blood seeping from the wound reopening on my head when Caleb bucked me.

Caleb, who was in the bed still happily watching this, laughed heavily and almost choked on his own laughter when I hit the barrier and slid to hit the floor. I turned around and managed to give Caleb the best death glare I could offer, that was until I saw the rainbow blur zooming my way, the glare turned to horror as it was about to hit me.

"Argh cra-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence when that blur came crashing down on me. As soon as it hit me I felt a tremendous force hit my head which that alone almost caused me to lose consciousness, blood was now literally started to flow around my whole head, but it eased off as quickly as it started due to the hospital's magic aura the pain was still unbearable even with the magic. Rainbow Dash pulled her right hoof while holding me up by her left hoof and was going punch my face with her right hoof. But knowing me I said one last thing before it came down.

Looking at Caleb who was still watching though more with an awww shits going down or this is gunna be gud look then his happy look I said my final words, giving the best troll face I could do at that time as the darkness was creeping in.
"Getting your girlfriend to beat me up, how low." And when I said 'low' I purposefully dropped, my voice to my lowest possible.

Getting an angry glare from Caleb guaranteed the effect that I wanted as Rainbow Dash blushed for the slightest second which was followed by her face turning red in anger which I grinned at. The last thing I remember was Fluttershy's look of distraught as Rainbow Dash smashed her right hoof upon my face. Grinning I fell unconsciousness welcoming the familiar darkness with my last thoughts.

Man I literally got bitch slapped. And by Rainbow Dash










Fuck my head. A pounding headache and a sore face nice.
I couldn't see any of it as I was pretending to still be unconsciousness for about five minutes so far but I could feel it. I did not know how long I've been unconsciousness for and what time it was as they had taken me somewhere else, but was still inside. I know they had taken me somewhere else because the magical painkiller aura wasn't there, or I would be feeling better. I was slowly breathing in the scent of which consisted of old books , dust and paper or what would be close to a library so I guessed we were in Twilight's library. They were muttering about something


What to do, what to do?
As these thoughts entered my head I realised I was groaning loud enough for the mane six to hear and another familiar voice. Caleb was with them and walked in front of the others.

Oh shit, here they come.

Panicking, I jumped up onto all four of hooves and tried to run only to fall back down as Rainbow Dash flew up to me fast to push my back down. Lets just so it was strong enough to hear my carapace crack slightly, and when that was heard Rainbow eased off a little bit but enough the keep me down. It's not like I was going anywhere anyway as I felt lightheaded and dizzy when I stood up and would've toppled over myself anyway.

To much blood loss.

"Hey buddy." Caleb came over to me.

"PISS OFF!" I managed to growl at him.
If there's one thing in life that you don't do, it's piss me off when I have a headache. I go partially insane.

"Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh, Rainbow let him go now. You do not want to do anything to piss him off when he has a headache." His voice becoming serious when he told

"Not till your 'friend'," Rainbow spat "tell us why he's here and why he's different."

Great, fucking Queen Chrysalis all over again. At least Caleb hadn't mentioned anything about me.

“No.” I muttered barely audible.

“What did you say?” Rainbow replied smirking.

“No.” I replied a bit louder.

“What did you say?”

“Rainbow Dash don’t push the Changeling to far, we don’t want violence in our interrogations.” Twilight claimed to Rainbow Dash but wasn’t worth the speech as she was ignored.

“Hey Changeling. I’m talking to you.” Rainbow informed me, pushing down my back with her right forearm’s hoof a bit harder.

“You don’t say.” I replied quietly but loud enough for everyone to hear me.

“What did you say to me?” Rainbow questioned, pushing down harder which the pressure was almost becoming unbearable.

My face tightened in pain and the headache was becoming worst from all the commotion.



“Leave him be Rainbow, we can find better ways to interrogate him.” Twilight ordered but to no avail as Rainbow was now infused with anger.

“Rainbow Dash, you’re hurting him. “ Fluttershy said with a pained expression.

“Ah’m gonna agree with Twi and say that you shud stop attacking h’im.” Applejack agreed but added "Just not yet."

“Darling, don’t let the anger rule you just stop attacking him.” Rarity added.

“I know what let’s throw him a party. Ohmygosh my first Changeling party I
wonder how that would be. It would be so aweso-“ Pinkie Pie started chirp in until Twilight stuck her front right hoof into her mouth.

Twilight was about to start explaining to Pinkie how now wasn’t the time until Rainbow asked the same question as before.
“What did you say to me?” But this time she pushed her two front fore hooves into my already cracked carapace.

My expression changed from pain to sheer anger. All sanity I held up to now was draining rapidly.

“Do that one more time. “ I asked but with venom laced throughout all of my words.

"Don't do it Rainbow." Caleb suggested.

Rainbow Dash seemed to hesitate for a couple of seconds but then pushed her two hooves as hard as she could into my back, cracking and splitting my already cracked carapace even more, causing it to bleed red blood.

The pain was unbearable now, but I luckily had a secret weapon. Adrenaline.

All sanity I held up to this point was lost.

With a massive flip from my stomach to my back ,I turned around and bucked the rainbow maned Pegasus in the chest hopefully guaranteeing at least a couple of broken ribs, and I threw my right forearm in a massive swing hitting her in the side of her head knocking her unconsciousness with my pointy and jagged right hoof. I watched as she drifted from the air and landed with a satisfying thud on the floor.


I quickly turn around and get up on my four hooves and stare down the remaining six ponies. The look in my eyes must’ve been enough to prove I had gone insane as they all started backing down. Caleb was smart and knew to get out of my way as he was in front of me but was angry at me for hitting his 'girlfriend' I knew he wasn't with her yet but it was funny nonetheless. I smiled to myself making them more afraid of me. All except for Twilight who stood her ground and cast purple bolt at me, which hit me directly. She looked very tired after casting that spell.


I suddenly felt very weak. I collapsed onto my stomach. The others started to move back up to Twilight.

Damn spell

But I wasn’t going to give up in my insane state and adrenaline was still pumping through me. I slowly got back on my hooves and started dragging myself towards Twilight who had now recovered from casting her spell was quite shocked but quickly, quickly conjured the same spell again which did cause me to collaspe and stay down. I don't know if I was unconscious or just asleep as I felt tired and slowly was lulled to darkness from the spell.





I woke up in a white room. I looked around myself and looked at the partially familiar room.

Ooooo, I'm in a hospital. Hmm where's the others?

I quickly realised that all I had been through might've been a dream so I looked down and saw I was still a Changeling. I was laying on my side and I turned to lay on my back only to scream out in pain and quickly lay back on my side.

At least my head doesn't hurt as bad anymore.

I laid back to my side and I suddenly felt warmer. I quickly looked over my shoulder and almost fell out of the bed as Princess Celestia was standing there. I quickly turned onto my other side and stared at her. Her regal appearance instantely said royalty. She had a multi-coloured mane, which was moving like a breeze was running through it somehow, and a white coat. Her cutie mark was of the sun and she was an Alicorn. She was tall, very tall. One of the biggest ponies I had seen so far.

"Aww crap." I muttered to myself, not glancing up at her.

$100, says she can read my mind. Time to test the theory

GET OUT OF MAH FUCKING HEAD BITCH!!!

She literally jumped from where she was standing. Not pleased with the thoughts I thought.

Time to turn my mind off.

I did what I did with the Changelings but focused at her instead.

"I seen you have learned to get rid of ponies reading your thoughts, but I can always get back in." Celstia announced.

"I don't give a craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap. I know why your here. It's not hard to tell you want to know why I'm different." I replied.

Celestia was not amused at my attitude towards the whole matter at hand (or hoof?).

"Of course I want to know. You hurt one of my little ponies and you act differently and look differently to anything I've ever seen before. You are a Changeling but have a cutie mark and a different voice to them. You have red eyes instead of blue and you are capable enough to stop me from entering your thoughts. You act differently, even for a Changeling, you have red blood instead of green blood and you have some form of resistance to magic.

"Yeh so what, for all you know I could be just a mutant or hybrid Changeling."

"I know when your lying. I'm am a Princess after all."

"Yeh, I know right?" I mumbled to myself looking down, hoping she didn't catch that but of course she does.

"Well then there's no need for me introducing myself then. So who are you I must ask."

I thought hard then remembered the name I gave to the Chrysalis.

"Darklight."

"What an interesting name how did you come up with that?"

"Well I was stuck with Que--" Realisation hit me. I looked up into her eyes and exclaimed "Hey.."

"So now I know that's not your real name, tell me what it is."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cause I don't want to tell you."

"Well if you aren't going to cooperate you leave me no choice but to do a memory scan."

That's when I realised I should tell her some truth but not all, but the look she was giving me said don't try to pull anything funny.

I just stared at her thinking whether to tell her or not to tell.

Better decided fast, because I can read all your thoughts and see all your memories you think.

Click

Wow that's going to annoy me.

I know right?.

Get OUT!

Click

With my memories to myself at the moment I quickly thought up what to say.

"Fine go, ahead use your spell." I gave her a cheeky smirk.

"You leave me with no chose then." She replied her horn glowing with the golden aura, a bit angry that she had to go to this length just to find out something.

Let's hope this plan works. I thought with grimace as her horn touched my sore head.
