Blue Fang walked around camp. He’d just gotten used to the look of the hive, now he was back outside. He knew who he was staying with at least, last thing he needed was to be camping with a stranger. Me, Kydra, Stinger, Dagger, Mantis, Hivehunter, Mitchell, and Brokenwing, oh and little Zenex Blue Fang thought, This should be great fun.
He walked to Brokenwings tent. Apparently, his old Captain had a job for him. He opened Brokenwings tent. The two greeted each other and Brokenwing told Blue Fang what he needed to do: rob a store. Should be easy enough. He left for Appleoosa, changing into another alter ego, Deal Breaker. He used this form to commit more “dishonorable” acts, and he used Arrowshot for “Honorable” acts. He knew what he was doing was wrong, but nothing meant more to him than the Old Hive as they are now calling it. With the hive ruled by Thorax, and... probably Pharynx, Blue Fang expected change. He looked up to the town. He went into a back alley and slipped on a bandanna. He walked into the general store and went to the pony working the old fashioned register. He asked Blue Fang to take off the mask, but Blue Fang replied by lighting up his horn.
“Bits, now!” Blue Fang said.
“Okay, okay!” The Pony said, opening the register. Blue Fang moved around and got the Bits out of the register. He then moved to the shelves and started scooping food into the bag.
“Thank you for your generous patronage,” Blue Fang said. He left the store and went to the back alley. He opened up the bag to see what he got. 27 Bits, couple of canned goods, candy, chocolate, and some fishing bait. He didn’t really need fishing supplies, but took it anyways. After all, they were omnivores, so a little fish wouldn’t hurt.
He turned around and saw a couple of Ponies chasing him. He used magic as best he could. He shot one down, and used a smoke spell to throw them off.
He headed back to camp, making sure he wasn’t followed by anyone. He donated the money to the Camps Savings Account, or CSA. He took some of the chocolate and canned foods for himself. He walked over to his tent and laid down. He tried going to sleep, but couldn’t. He thought about Zenex. The little grub didn’t know what was going on. All he knew was the propaganda that Hivehunter pushed onto him. He was able to ensure the young grub did not follow in Hivehunters steps. He got up and walked towards Zenexes tent. He peeked inside and saw Hivehunter and Brokenwing sitting with him. He listened to the conversation between the three.
“Hivehunter, Brokenwing?” Zenex asked.
“Yeah?” Hivehunter replied
“Can you two sing?”
Blue Fang almost laughed at the idea of Hivehunter singing. Brokenwing was different. He, like Stinger and Kydra, usually acted a little like Thorax in the since they felt the emotions like regret and forgiveness. He listened as Hivehunter used his magic to start a bit of music. It sounded like, Power Metal?
He and Brokenwing got ready to sing. Blue Fang knew what song this was, Hive Mind. He remembered a Changeling band called Solleret played the song as a morale booster.

Many, many years ago, when the hive rose above. Heeding Chrysalis’s call, the Changelings went to war.
(Instrumental)
Joined by my siblings, us few against the Pony hordes. Changeling hearts were set ablaze, the hot gate calls our names
Our final stand. Stop the Ponies, stealing hooves. Form a wall, live to fall, and live forever.
Changelings! Hive mind! Then and again, sing us few hundred bugs
Capture! Ponies! Glory and death, Changelings will never surrender.
Ooh Rah

Morning has broken. Today we were fighting for the Queen. Then Starlight blew the throne away, tonight we dine in shame.
A traitors hoof. Secret passage to our land. Know his name, know his shame, will last forever.
Changelings! Hive mind! Then and again, sing us few hundred bugs
Capture! Ponies! Glory and death, Changelings will never surrender!
(Instrumental)
Changelings! Hive mind! Then and again, sing us few hundred bugs!
Capture! Ponies! Glory and death, Changelings will never surrender!

The two end the song in unison, amazing Blue Fang. He’d never seen the two work together like that. Now he sounded like Thorax. Although he could tell Brokenwing didn’t like some of parts that they remade. Like the racism, and the the hate of Thorax. Blue Fang walked back to his tent. He looked at the night sky, wondering what would happen next.
The Next Day
Ponyville
Blue Fang sat at the table with Zenex and Kydra, with Dagger coming over theirs magic frequencies.
“Lean forward Kydra,” he said, “you’re supposed to be enjoying this time with your family. Oh you two make the perfect couple.”
“Dagger,” she said, “focus on the mission, not shipping us.”
“Alright, alright, sheesh. Okay, you three will stay there and see if there are any “opportunities” for us.”
“Alright,” she said, cutting the transmission. She looked at Blue Fang, then at Zenex. “We should make a name for him.”
“What’s your Pony name?”
“Sweet Dreams, gosh Pony names are weird.”
“Okay, so Arrowshot and Sweet Dreams... Okay, how about Quiver Dreams?”
“I got nothing better.”
“That sound good, Zen?
“Yes sir.”
Blue Fang looked at the little grub. He wanted to pass his wisdom down to Zen. Maybe he could start a new hive. “Alright, Quiver you go to playground and play with the other Ponies.”
“Okay daddy!” He said getting up.
Kydra looked at him and snickered, “daddy?”
Blue Fang blushed, “Yeah... I drilled him on this...”
Kydra just kept laughing like there was no tomorrow. “Whatever you say honey.”
The word honey somewhat made Blue Fang melt on the inside. This wasn’t like the Romantic-dinner-every-character-has-with-his-or-her-crush Blue Fang read about in books, nor was it the way he thought he’d ever date Kydra. Not like she’d say yes. He looked over towards Zenex. He felt love for the bug like he was his son or something. He looked at his family, this was going to be a long stay. He pulled out his journal.
Day 1: I’m not sure way Brokenwing chose me, Kydra, and Zenex to do this. Maybe because we standout? I don’t know. Hopefully nothing happens.
