A Queen's Final Revenge
Chapter Six
"Vinyl. Octavia. Take Apple Jack down to the basement and stand guard. Let me know when she wakes up.
"Yes, my queen."
"Cool."
The two Hunters hoisted up Apple Jack, with some difficulty, and carried her down the stairs to the basement.
"Their not going to hurt her are they?" Fluttershy asked, but with no fear or tentativeness in her voice it almost didn't sound like Fluttershy.
"No Fluttershy, their not going to hurt her. Now tell me, how does it feel to not feel fear for the first time?"
"To speak freely Twilight, IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME." she yelled with more enthusiasm than Twilight had ever hear from her. "I mean, it's just so much simpler than being scared all the time."
"It's good the hear that Fluttershy. Now let me brief you on what we've done so far." Twilight gave Fluttershy all the information about the hive instantly through the hive-mind.
"Really, you've converted nearly half the town already?"
"Yes, we've done allot for just one week, but it is nothing compared to what we'll do later tonight. For soon the whole town will raise a flag in my name."
"And how do you propose to do that?" Fluttershy asked raising an eyebrow questioningly.
"I'll tell you the plan, right after we situate Rarity." Twilight said as she used her power over the hive-mind to wake Rarity from her stupor.
"WHAT, TWILIGHT'S A CHANGELING?!" Rarity screamed, her head still stuck on the part where Twilight took down her disguise.
"Yes, and so are you." Twilight stated straining to keep Rarity from freaking out to much.
"I am?" Rarity asked incredulously.Then she looked down and eyed her self carefully. "Can I get a mirror?" She asked keeping a calm and polite demeanor thanks to Twilight.
"Of course Predator." one of the Drones said as her turned himself into a body length mirror.
"Well, I feel I should be fainting right now, but I'm not. How strange."
"Well Rarity what da think?" Pinkie asked as she jumped out from apparently nowhere.
`
"I must say, I don't hate it." she said ignoring the fact that Pinkie was nowhere to be found two seconds ago. "In fact I'd say I like it. It has a certain dark beauty to it." Twilight felt the strain of keeping Rarity calm lessen somewhat.
"And plus you can be anyone you want to be, imagine all the fun you could have with that." Pinkie said while bouncing around the room.
"Yea, I guess I could." Rarity said wistfully seemingly mesmerized by her own reflection.
"Drone, please leave us." the Drone acting as Rarity's mirror transformed back into a changeling, walked out of the library, and went back to the hive to help with construction.
Rarity--not being able to see her own reflection anywhere--snapped out of it and blinked several times. She sat back down on the couch and looked at Twilight. "Twilight would you be so kind explaining what going on?" Rarity asked politely.
"Of course Rarity, I'm sure you're disoriented right now." Twilight said before telling Rarity everything she wanted to know through the hive-mind.
"Wow, you've really converted nearly half the town already. That's quite impressive darling." Rarity complemented
"Thank you Rarity, but now we have something much bigger to do." she then began to tell the entirety of her plan to her two new Predators.
Two Hours Later
Twilight stood behind the curtains listening to the clamor of all Ponyville, her Predators at her sides. Apple Jack came up behind her and gave her a pat on the back. (Apple Jack woke up about a hour ago. Aside from Pinkie, Apple Jack had taken it the best, after she got over the initial shock of waking up a changeling that is) Twilight was ready.
She walked out on the very balcony Nightmare Moon had three years ago. Then the crowd noticed that Twilight was there and immediately they all quieted down. "Hello Ponyville.", cheers from the entire crowd, "Welcome to the Summer Sun Celebration setup party.", more cheers from the crowd, "Before we get this party started we all have some business to attend to."
"And what business would that be." said one of the ponies that had been suspicious.
"That business would be", Twilight dropped her disguise ,"The conversion of Ponyville!" Twilight said with a cackle while her changelings barricaded all the exits. All the ponies panicked and tried get out but all they found was a wall of changelings.
"Oh come now, it's not that bad." Twilight said while charging the conversion spell in her horn. Putting huge amounts of magic into the spell. "You're all going to feel a small pinch" Twilight let loose her spell, covering all of Ponyville in a bright lavender flash. Suddenly there was dead silence in the cavernous room. Twilight decided to break said silence "Changelings, fall in!"
At the order all the changelings lined up and spoke as one, "Yes, our Queen."
Later That Night
"This was bad, this was very bad". Luna thought as she ran through the palace. "Tia has to hear about this. Maybe she'll have some idea about what's going on." She ran faster until she got to Celestia's room and ignored the door by teleporting through it.
"Tia we have a big problem, a big big problem."
Celestia slowly stirred from her slumber until she noticed Luna was there, "Luna what are you doing in here?"
"I have very bad news Tia, very very bad news." Celestia could tell her sister was overreacting about something and she would have to listen to it until her sister got over it. So she did.
"Okay Luna what happened that was so 'very very bad'?" Celestia sighed
"Only one pony in all of Ponyville is dreaming."
"Well didn't see that one coming, she actually came to me with something important." "Do you know why all the other dreams stopped, or why the one is still going?" Celestia asked seriously.
"No, but that's not even the worst part, the one dream in Ponyville is Twilight. She's dreaming of being queen of the changelings.
