The wagon ride to Canterlot was as boring as watching paint dry. Blue Fang sat quietly, just humming a little song to himself. A couple of the Guards looked at him, probably wondering why he was in good spirits. Blue Fang pulled out the medal Hivehunter gave him. He felt the hard, bronze metal it was made from. Bronze was one of the few materials they had, although as far as Blue Fang knew, it didnât have much use except for medals. Then he pulled out his journal. He pulled out the quill and wrote in the journal.
Iâve been captured again, yay. Everyone else was able to get away from the raid as I sacrificed myself for the greater good. All I can do now is wait.
He slipped the medal into the journal and closed it. Twilight looked at him. âHow does it feel to be captured?â she asked sarcastically.
âFor the second time? Well, annoying,â he replied with the same level of sarcasm. He looked out the back of the wagon, which was being followed by more wagons. âYâall assembled the biggest darned convoy ever, and for a few bugs?â he laughed at what he just said. âWe Changelings would only need five and all these Guards would be knocked out.â Twilight just stared at him with a blank expression. He chuckled. âNothinâ to say now, huh?â
Shining turned to him, âcoming from the one whose entire species turned on him.â
âAt least mine is loyal to our ruler,â Blue Fang replied staring at Starlight.
She looked back, âIâve changed, you have not.â
Blue Fang just gave an annoyed look.âChange? Really?â
âNo pun intended...â
Blue Fang just closed his eyes and waited. He slowly and very peacefully drifted off to sleep, knowing his family was safe.
Blue Fang felt someone grab him. He used magic to grab the hoof, âI donât need a wake-up-call.â He got up and stretched, then grabbed his journal and walked with the Guards through the Canterlot streets. He received a lot of looks from the civilians. He didnât care that they hated him, he didnât care they probably wanted him dead as unlikely that may have been, he only cared about getting to meet the Princesses head on. The inside of the palace was no different, just more nicer. He studied the rooms and found a vault that heâd like to get into. Then the Throne Room doors opened with a somewhat blinding light. Maybe heâd just been outside for too long. The inside was almost the same as Chrysalisâs Throne Room. Before he walked in, he wiped his hooves on the mat, to show he at least had some manners. Then he walked down the carpet and stood in front of the Princesses like he would if the Queen was in front of him.
Celestia was the first to speak, âBlue Fang, is it?â
âYes maâam.â
She stared at him, she probably didnât expect him to be so polite, âI think you now why you are here.â
âBesides robbery, no.â
She unfolded a scroll and read, âassault, resisting arrest, attacking Royal Guards, assaulting a Princess.â
He interrupted, but did it in a polite manner, âIf you donât mind me saying, I understand the assault, assault of a Princess, and resisting arrest. But attacking Royal Guards? Weâve been at war with them for a long time.â
âI know, but the war is over.â
âThen why are we still fighting?â
Celestia opened her mouth, but Luna spoke first, âbecause you are evil!â she yelled.
Blue Fang somehow kept his nerves in check, maybe heâd just heard Chrysalis yell multiple times, âweâre not evil, weâre just fighting for what we believe in,â he looked at Luna, âI understand the confusion from your point of view.â
Celestia looked at her sister, who only looked more mad, âcalm down sister,â she said, âIâm sure he meant nothing by it. Did you?â
âNo maâam, not at all,â he replied truthfully. That was the thing about Blue Fang, no matter who they were, if they were the ruler of a monarchy, heâd show respect. He wasnât sure if heâd gotten it from Brokenwings courtesy, or being raised under the same roof with a Queen made him like that. By this time, the three Princesses turned and talked with each other. Sensing heâd be alone for the time being, he pulled out his journal, then read through the entries. He found the entire from when Arthrax, Hex, Ocellus, Grubber, and Mantis joined the gang.
With Grubber and Mantis back, we feel like family again. Also, three new Changelings joined in, Arthrax, Hex, and Ocellus. Iâm not sure how they found us, but Iâm glad they did.
Blue Fang smiled at the entry. Then flipped through to the Shield Breaker entry.

Well, our hopes of taking Canterlot failed, we got blown sky high. Heck I was lucky enough to have made it home. I also had to lie about Thorax, um, âbiting the dust.â But I did it for him as he wouldâve done the same for me
âPvt. Blue Fang
He flipped through more of the pages, then got the front page, which had the both the medal he got from Brokenwing, and the medal he got from his fight with Hivehunter. He took it out to look at. He reflected to the faithful day, the day he left that small crack in the arena wall.
âSo you still got it, huh?â a familiar voice said from behind him.
âThorax,â he turned to see his brother, who looked way different then what Blue Fang remembered. His body turned a light green color, his eyes and wings went purple, and he grew orange horns. Even though Thorax looked different, he couldnât help but smirk and say, âyou know I would, buddy, you know I would.â
Thorax walked towards Twilight, âyou wanted to see me?â
She turned to Thorax, âyes, we wanted to know if you could help us with Blue Fang.â
He turned to his brother, âsure,â he walked over to Blue Fang, then pulled out a deck of poker cards. âHere, I know how much you like poker, so I got you these.â
Blue Fang looked at the cards, âthank you.â He opened them and started shuffling them around. âWanna play a quick round?â
âSure,â he looked at the Princesses, who nodded, âcome on.â The two walked into the next room over. Thorax used his magic to levitate a table over to them. They sat down and started playing. As Blue Fang gave Thorax his two cards, Thorax asked him, âwhereâs everybody else?â
Blue Fang looked up, âI donât know, they set up a camp somewhere else,â he got his two cards, which were, 6 black spades, and 5 black spades, then he gave Thorax 1 black chip, three blue chips, five red chips, and ten white chips. âRemember, black is one hundred, blue is ten, red is five, and white is one,â Blue Fang said giving himself the same number of chips.
âOkay.â
He flipped over the first card, which had black king. Thorax threw two red chips in. Blue Fang threw the same amount. Next was a black ace of hearts. Blue Fang threw in four whites, while Thorax threw in a blue. Next card was a ten black clubs. Blue Fang threw in a red, Thorax followed suit. The current bet was; Blue Fang: 19, Thorax: 25.
âHowâs everyone doing?â Thorax asked as Blue Fang flipped over the next card.
âWeâre doing fine, I mean, we ainât dead. Nine spades.â
âOkay.â
Thorax went All-in, Blue Fang followed suit. The next card was eight black spades. Blue Fang threw down his cards, then Thorax.
âStraight!â Thorax said dragging all the chips his way.
âGood game brother,â Blue Fang said shaking Thoraxâs hoof. Celestia called them.
âIâll help you clean this stuff up.â After they were done, Thorax asked, âhowâre you getting outta this one?â
âMaybe Iâll sing a song or something,â Blue Fang said before laughing, âdonât worry, I believe the others have a plan.â
âThey always do.â
The two walked back into the chamber. Cadence looked at the two. âDid you two have fun?â she asked.
âYes maâam,â Blue Fang answered, âThor here won by a Straight.â She looked confused, âcards in numeric order with different shapes and or color.â She nodded.
Then Luna looked at him. âIs something bothering you?â
âNo maâam,â he looked at her.
âIs it about your brother all those years ago?â
âHow... howâd you know?â He asked worriedly.
âYour dreams.â
He looked at her, âplease stay out of my head.â
She lit up her horn. The world seemed to fall apart around Blue Fang. The floor fell out from beneath his hooves. Then the tile he was on fell out. He yelled as he fell into a dark void. Then he crashed into a dark forest. He looked around the forest. He saw a Changeling run past him. He reached out to the Changeling, but he just phased through it. Then he heard a familiar voice, âBlue! Blue! Take the shot!â
No way, this canât be real. He followed the Changeling. Then he found the scene.
âIâm trying! Iâm trying!â
Just like he remembered it, Brokenwing smashed the Timberwolf with a rock. The rest played out as he remembered, then,
âWe need to head home baby brother.â Brokenwing walked a few feet while limping, then he collapsed.
âBroken!â Blue Fang ran over. Brokenwing passed out. Blue Fang quickly dragged him away. Then he snapped back to reality. He looked at Luna, âwhy?â He asked.
âBecause I knew it was what broke your tough shield.â
âWell, I fortunately have a morale booster.â
âWhat is it?â Rainbow asked sarcastically.
âA song,â Blue Fang said.
âWell I wanna hear it,â Rainbow said.
âYou sure? Itâs not really... Ponified.â She nodded. âOkay.â Thorax looked at him.
âBlue, this isnât really a good time.â
âShe wanted to hear it, sheâll hear it,â he turned to everyone else, âwhat about yâall?â
âI want to hear it,â Starlight said.
âMe too!â Pinkie exclaimed.
âAlright.â Applejack followed up.
âAlright, donât say I didnât warn you.â
(Blue= Blue Fangs lyrics)
Haha, now I know why you call yourselves the master race. Cuz dang you Ponies can run like heck!
Ponies must be masochist. (Why?) Because they asked for this. (Oh!) My name is Blue Fang, Iâm the opposite of pacifist. I came to clean my land of oppressive savages. The status of Chrysalis, has the only hoof I kiss. (Dang!)
I came to shake the game, Iâll make the water choppy. First I need some wheels, gee Iâm feeling really wobbly. But Iâm rollinâ with the punches, just like my brother taught me. I am a new resistance, got up and started walkinâ!
Somebody tell Celestia to call off her paparazzi. Weâre not big friends of propaganda because we are not sheep! Watch me drop each RG, like an awfully hot pot of coffee. Thatâs a lot love for one body, if youâre like Fluttershy then call mommy!
Help! Itâs the Changeling Army! Thatâs right, weâll scare you silly! A nation tainted with your regime makes it very filthy. Aw shoot! Did I trigger you bigot? When I blast your horn off and let it spray like a spigot.
Iâll plant my hoof in your face!
Beat down your Guards!
Back kick you down!
Snap all the horns!
Crackshotâ your helms, pop and explode!
Soaked in Pony, love hoof to horn!
I was raised to believe in a world, where Ponies are not on top and the Changelings are heard, call off our poverty! Do you know what itâs like to go to bed while starving? That was the sign it was time to start a fire.
(Instrumental)
I donât know why you Ponies rally behind these two sisters. Sit down and listen to this strictly clinical diagnosis.
Mrs. Starlight, a mixed bottle of emotions. A psychopathic-wimpy failure of a dictator. Disposition of a new Foal, with belligerent behavior. But sheâll cry herself to sleep before she gets me into danger.
I got this mane brush with Celestia on it, so if you gotta brush your mane out not a problem I brought it. I can prescribe you cyanide, gotta swallow all of it, and if knew their father, I wouldâa told him he ainât ready.
Oh thank Chrysalis Iâm not a chip off the block, cuz Iâm not as as weak as these Ponies are. My mom is gone, and now all is lost, Iâm in it all alone and itâs gotta stop. I donât wanna, but if I gotta drop a bomb, Iâll do it, not a qualm. Listen to my gritty-inner monologue, the new resistance has gotten up!
Horns all ignite!
Burn down their strength!
Shatter their will!
Rip up friendship!
Swallow their pride, might makeâem choke!
You should get that, cupcake to go!
I want freedom! Give us liberty or give us death! Letâs get even! Iâm in deep, but I keep my horn up and leadâem! Run on empty till my engines dead! I want (what?) I said I want (what?) I said I want (what?) I said I want freedom, now!
(Instrumental)
Broken told me grow up to be anything you want kid!
Wonât become a confused motherbucker like Twilight did!
I left for the frontlines and I went to war unshyly!
If you got a problem, make Ms. Dash and drop her!
Had a date with Pinkie but that has made me all the wiser!
Turninâ Applejack into some apple fertilizer!
Any final words, for Rarity itâs âplease donât!â
I donât call it crime if youâre a Starlight sympathizer!
Try to put me down like Spike just got the rabies!
Soon youâll see my blue fangs if you go near my family!
Call myself a gentlecolt, Iâd never hit a lady!
Non of you would ever count! You mares are buckinâ crazy!
(Instrumental)
I was raised to believe in a world, where Ponies are not on top and the Changelings are heard, call off our poverty! Do you know what itâs like to go to bed while starving? That was the sign it was time to start a fire!
Blue Fang looked around to see the faces of the Ponies. Most had jaw-dropped, some just stood there. âI warned you,â Blue Fang said.
Thorax looked at him. âWell Iâll sing some sense into you!â
Blue Fang looked at his brother, âtry me!â Blue Fang stared more music.
(Blue= Blue Fang Lyrics)
(Green= Thorax Lyrics)
(Red= Combined Lyrics)
These are the moments, that will go down in history! Evils among us! And it will live on in infamy!
That the best you got? Then your best wonât do. Youâre amongst wolves now, and these are our woods.
One thing that Broken taught me: weak is something I should not be! Givinâ up is not an option, sorry! Listen up all of you Ponies! If you get my back on the ropes, Iâll fight on! Iâm the reason you keep a nightlight on. But Iâm a lot worse than a bad dream. Been a moment since you Ponies had sleep.
(Oh crap!)
If you ask me after this, the Royal Guard willâve had their flanks kicked. Fact: that my name isnât Chrysalis, and that bug is my momma, mare! Cadence was scared of her, better double that fear for her younger bugs. Nothinâs gonna come between us, if you try, trust me, youâre gonna see stars.
No Iâm not monster, but yeah Iâm scary. Iâve ready said itâs hereditary! Came prepared to light this place up, raise all of the banners so I can tearâem up!
Do run with us bugs? Or do you march with the Guards? Iâve seen the evil youâve sewn, and now itâs us you shall reap.
I sure hate all this hay, bad. Anybody want some? Nah I doubt that. Throw it in the trash and take it out fast. You can bet Iâm gonna have a proud brother.
Youâve got the Heart of Cadence!
The Strength of Celestia!
Wits of Luna!
Yet youâre lighting a fire, but! These are the moments, that must go down for history! I once was a lone bug! But then you fought for me!
(Instrumental)
Even at a young age, I wasnât on a playground, I was in an academy. Kydra never wanted me to be unsafe, so when I got older she taught me my ES.
(Kaboom!)
So what if Iâm a Youngblood, Iâm runninâ on much more than dumb luck. Both of us were always underdogs! Gotta be a bug if you want run with us! Cocooned is how like my Ponies! Gonna make Twilight cry for mommy. Speaking of mothers, ours is legend:
Fighting a war while she was pregnant! (Dang!)
Talk about a roll model. I was the kind of child you donât coddle. Cuz a Changelings always at full throttle. The new resistance has already doubled!
If you donât run with us bugs, you must be one of the Guards. If thereâs no saving your soul, then Iâll just send you to sleep!
Could we possibly, live in a work of peace and harmony, like thatâll ever happen, honestly. But fighting Ponies is fun we both agree!
Youâve got the Heart of Cadence!
The Strength of Celestia!
Wits of Luna!
Yet youâre lighting a fire, but! These are the moments, that must go down for history! I once was a lone bug! But then you lied for me!
The two looked at each other while breathing heavily, with the Ponies looking at Thorax.
âWhat?!â Starlight asked, âhe lied for you?!â
âYeah,â Thorax looked at Blue Fang, then his eyes moved to Shining and Cadence, Blue Fang nodded. He took a breath, then turned around, âShining, Princess Cadence, Iâm the one who help Blue Fang escape.â The two looked real shocked.
âWhy?!â Shining asked.
âBecause weâre brothers!â Blue Fang snapped, âI wouldnât leave him, he wouldnât leave me!â
âCalm down Blue,â Thorax said, he turned back to face the Ponies, âif itâs anyone who should be in trouble, it should be me.â
âNo Thorax, you didnât rob that bank or train, I did.â Two Guards came to walk Blue Fang to his cell. He turned to his brother. He nodded at Thorax, who returned the gesture. He walked to his cell while Thorax talked with the others. Whatever they wanted, they werenât going to get, not if Blue Fang had anything to say about it.
