Act 1: Chapter 4: Trouble in the Paradise

Secret Facility in the northern region of the Queendom, January, 20th, 1005 ALB


“Go raibh maith agat as an gCaife, Yanna” Pharynx Thanked Yanna for the Coffee she made for him, in the Traditional Changeling Language. “Ummm sir… is that mean you like it?” Yanna asked as she’s still learning the language, Pharynx Chuckled at his Assistant and answers her. “ Yes, Yanna it means Thank you in our old tongue.”

“ Oh! Ok sir I’ll keep that in mind!” She Chirps and adjusts her reading glasses. While Pharynx Checks out the papers and Documents on the Progress of the little project he made years prior, the Gerpanzerterjager Program.

So far he sees the progress reports having very good progress, Mobility and the Armour protection seen as the massive improvements since switching from steel armour, in favour of a new type of metallic Alloy conducted by his own Eggheads to his Secret facility, the Titanium-Aluminium Alloy, granting lightweight mobility as well the desired Durability as Steel but lighter and more mobile and even slightly stronger than the predecessor.

Pharynx breaks focus from reading the reports when the knock from his door disturbs him. “ Yanna, could you open the door for me please?” Pharynx asked.

“Sir yes sir!” Yanna saluted her Superior and proceeded to open the door. After she opened the door and looked up at the visitor, she was shocked and chilled to the bone in his presence. Pharynx looked up at what was her gasp about, upon looking at the Changeling she was staring at, his eye widens and in disbelief, a changeling with his Headphone comms around his neck, smirking at Shocked Pharynx. This Changeling he just came over to his facility, is the Hivemarshall of the Queendom. Trimmel.

“Greetings Pharynx I see you’re been pretty busy at your little project of yours I presume?” Trimmel with his posh and gentleling accent pisses off Pharynx for not he found his secret facility, but he was the fact that he had been discovered by one ling he Hates, Trimmel.

Pharynx makes a small hiss, enough for him to not notice it. He stands from his chair almost at eye level between Pharynx and Trimmel and speaks. “Hivemarshall Trimmel! What are you doing here at my facility and how did you find it!?” he asked with a slightly raised voice to him, Trimmel simply chuckled at Pharynx. “ Oh, Pharynx do you really think I wouldn’t notice the 25% drop on my funds for my Panzer programme for the past 2 years?” Trimmel smirks as he finally confronts the leech that is Pharynx, the one he’s leeching his funds for his own Panzer Programme.

“So What if I do leech your funds huh? My Doctrine is much better than yours, it would’ve been implemented to the Wehrmacht if it weren’t for your bribes to the Queen!”  Pharynx scolded Trimmel, which he just shrugged off. “Hahaha! Bribe? Oh please the Queen is pleased with my doctrine, you’re just being a sore loser Pharynx and didn’t get the Hivemarshal status!” Trimmel Mocked Pharynx’s defeat, which made him grow better towards Trimmel. “What do you want here anyway Trimmel?!” he asked, changing the subject.

“Oh! I’m here because one of my ‘Mayflies’ have told me that you have successfully created an Alloy that is both light and Durable metal, yes?” Trimmel asked him, smirking, he didn’t reply, he continued. “This alloy is called Titanium-Aluminium Alloy right? Your Scientists have managed to crack the code on how to make such an amazing material, more so than my Scientists… I want to have your formula for the Titanium-Aluminum Alloy now.” Trimmel Demanded with a refined posh accent. 

Pharynx immediately shook his head in decline. “Hell no! Over my dead body Trimmel!”

“Oh, poor Pharynx you should share this special alloy Pharynx or else…”

“Or else what?”

“This!”

Trimmel uses his magic to pull out the Files from his saddlebag and drops it to Pharynx’s desk and saw pictures of his little brother Thorax and his new friend Citrix performing friendship tasks and decisions, something that is Heretical in the eyes of the Queendom. Pharynx was shocked at these pictures, he’s slowly reading pictures of his little brother and his friend in shock. ‘What the fuck Thorax!?’ he thought of himself. 

Trimmel makes a small cough to get his attention, which he did. “So if you don’t give me what I want, pharynx… I would show this to the Queen and would definitely strip you of your rank, all the way down to a grunt! You don’t happen to have the right Pharynx. He grins in the delight at his reaction. He’s loving it.

“Y-you Fucking bastard!” Pharynx curses at Trimmel, which he simply shrugged. 

“So what’s it gonna be, Hivegeneral Pharynx? Give me your formula on Titanium-Aluminium Alloy or strip off your rank to oblivion, choose Sorythian~” Trimmel smiles in and stares at him in a predatory look. ‘Damn you Vesalipolisian!’ Pharynx curses, and with the flick of his hoof he calls his assistant. “Yanna show him the formula…”  ordered her.

“B-but sir! You said it is top secre-”

“JUST do it alright?!”

She bows down to him in response. “Yes sir…” she proceeds to grab a file from the Titanium-Aluminium formula and she reluctantly gives it to Trimmel.

“Hmmm thank you, my fair lady, ~” he flirted with Yanna.

“Asalpoll…” she murmured.

“What was that?”

“Nothing sir, just me speaking gobbledygook!” she smiled at him.

Trimmel turns around to face Pharynx and nods to him. “Thank you Hivegeneral Pharynx for cooperating with your Hivemarshall… you can keep those photos, I don’t need them anyway” Trimmel thanked him and left his office and closed the door with his magic.

Pharynx just slumps down in his chair in defeat. “Yanna… could you please leave the room? I need some alone time right now..” he asked Yanna in greeted teeth.

“Yes sir!” she answered immediately and quickly left the office, knowing what would happen next.

As soon as she left the office, Pharynx stood and threw all the pictures of Thorax and Citrix and his desk items to his table and shouted. “FUCK YOU TRIMMEL!!!!” on the top of his lungs. Thankfully it didn’t disturb his workers as his office is soundproof. 

Yanna another hand flinches at Shout of his lungs, that Pharynx made, and sighs. “Oh bother…” she sighs…

Meanwhile at Thorax’s house: Jan. 22nd, 1005ALB

Thorax have said his goodbyes to his friend from their long and time-consuming Trials of Laughter and Kindness, which it was very tiring, considering Septicx is not always a kind little changeling as well, as well not very good at making a good laugh with the grubs and nymphs. But in the end it was worth it.

Now it was worth it though as they are finally able to mellow out his stone-cold heart and become a little friendly changeling. Well as kind he can be, he still tricks on Thorax though all for his humour.

As he entered his house, he saw his living room was particularly dark. He wanted to make sure he won't bump into anything that could hurt him.

“Took you long enough… Thorax…” a low toned voice, made Thorax chilled to his carapace, he turned around and saw his big brother in full General uniform, menacingly staring at his eyes,  sitting in an uncomfortable position on his chair. Reminding him of those weird hairless ape diagrams on the Soryth libraries.

“OH um hey Pharynx! Um.. What's up?” he asked nervously at his brother. Pharynx simply chuckles. 

“Hehehe! Oh it's good little bro I just have one question… Do you practice Harmonism?” Pharynx asked with a hiss.

Thorax is sweating heavily, he knows that if he told him the truth he would call upon the Queen's Guards and do something to him that would likely end his life. And so he gulped and lie and attempted to lie to him.

“He he! No no! Pharynx I would never practice Harmonism those damn Equestrians hehe…”

Pharynx didn't buy his lies, he stood up, use his magic to bring evidence of his crimes.

“ oh really? Then care to explain WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!” pharynx throws all of the pictures of him and Citrix doing friendship lessons with Septicx. He's busted. 

“Oh um… Wooh! hehe i don’t know what you are talking about hehe… I don't know those things hehe” Thorax lied again, in which it pissed off Pharynx more. He uses his magic to grab Thorax in the neck, and he slams him to the ground.

“Ahhh!!” he yelped in pain. He looked upon his brother with his eyes turning red in anger. “ DON’T FUCK WITH ME THORAX! BECAUSE I KNOW YOU MORE THAN ANY GRUBS!” he Shouted at Thorax in his ear.

“I’m so sorry Pharynx! I-i real-” 

“I’M NOT FINISHED!” 

Thorax flinched from his Rage, he stayed quiet.

“I took care of you, I protected you from those bullies! I even give a home a job! AND THIS IS YOU PAY ME BACK?!” 

Thorax is watered his eye from his brother’s rage, he didn't mean to disrespect him…

“ I’m sorry Thorax! I’m really am I didn’t mean to-“

“Do you have any ideas that your little experiment NEARLY ENDED MY CAREER?!”

From his rage, Pharynx slammed his little brother to the wall, creating cracks on his wall. “AAAAHHHH PHARYNX STOP!! You’re hurting me!!”

Pharynx lets go of his little brother from his magic, he turns his head away from Thorax and snorts his nose out.

“Hrmph! You’re weaker than I thought…” he muttered as he walked away from him. Thorax regains his senses and looks upon his brother walking away. “ Pharynx!!! Where are you going!?”

“Away from you! Until you prove to me that you’re strong Changeling! You will never be my brother…”

Thorax’s heart aches from his painful words, no longer his own brother… his tears begins to fall again from his eyes.

“P-Pharynx!! Tell me it’s a joke hehe surely you’re kidding-“

“No… Thorax it’s not… I’m sorry.” Pharynx closed his eyes away from him one last time and shed a tear…

As he walked further and further away from Thorax, his plea and begging got louder to come back, but he ignored it. Until he finally got out of the house, slamming his door shut in front of him. The sound of his cries is drowned out by the noise of Pharynx’s Truck which begins to drive away from Thorax’s house.

Thorax in another hand, began to cry uncontrollably, due to the unfortunate events befell from him. He was disowned by his brother and now he’s all alone…

“I’m sorry… Pharynx.. (sniff) I’m really sorry…”

January 22, 1005ALB. Citrix’s House, Soryth

Citrix is preparing a meal with his big brother Septicx, all thanks to many trials of Friendship that Thorax and Citrix made. It has made Septicx a bit friendlier now. This put a smile on Citrix's face.

“Yo! How’s it going there Cits? Ya need help?” Called by his brother Septicx. “No need! I can handle this” answered Citrix, as he’s mixing some love rations to the Cookie dough to make it sweet.

Suddenly a loud knock on his door, which disturbs Septicx watching Racing plane game, in which currently a Vrakkian pilot is taking the lead.

“I’ll get it!” Said Septicx, which he got up from his couch, stretches his limbs and trots towards the front door.

As he opens the door, he is confronted by five Changeling soldiers, in black coloured stahlhelms, and having Chrysalis horn Insignia. The Queens Guards.

‘Shit’ Septicx thought.

“Greetings sir, is your name Septicx?” asked one of the guards.

“Um yes… I'm Septicx sir, what is the matter?”

“Is your brother here?”

“Citrix yeah why?”

Citrix peeks out. “Is everything alright?”

“There! Shoot him!” said one of the guards, as they were ready to aim at Citrix, Septicx’s Reflexes managed to stop them. “NO! STOP!”

“What’s going on?!”

“Citrix! Run! They’re going-” he was cut short by one of the guards who rifled a dart gun to his brother Citrix’s neck, it hit him and stumbled over, knocking him unconscious. Septicx thought that one of the guards killed him, screams in rage. “NOOOOOOOO! GAH FUCK YOU!” screamed Septicx in which one of the guards knocked him out to the ground by the butt stock of their rifles.

On the ground he faintly saw his brother being dragged away from his house knocked unconscious by the darts. “D-don’t worry brother… I will save you… I will kill them! I will kill them all!”Septicx succumbs to the pain and faints.

The Queens Guards have hogtied Citrix make a quick work of rigging explosives all around the house, they primed the explosives and leave the house by their trucks.

As the clock is ticking and the explosives are about minutes away from explosion, a hooded Changeling gallops towards Septicx’s house, looking for someone.

The hooded one tripped over and her pretty face Paulista was exposed, she smiled happily as she found Septicx. With no time to waste she hoist the unconscious Septicx with her magic, barely hanging on. She stuggle to gallop because her focus on her horn.

Finally after getting out of the door, she galloped toward the Forest to avoid the blast. Paulista and Unconscious body hid under just as the loud booming noise deafen her hearing and the entire forest’s creatures have awoken and flee in from the blast. Thankfully Paulista and Septicx are safe, she lay down on the mossy ground in relief and looked at Septicx in his angel-like sleep, unfazed from the explosion. Her cheeks turned a bit pink, as she developed some feelings for him.

She looked back at the destruction made at his home, she was distraught and saddened, she will do anything to repay his debt for him, no matter what.
