I Am Twilight Sparkle

Captured

"Stop running!" Brenda called after me as I went to the basement as quickly as I could. She was still in her human form, but when I looked directly at her, I saw the Queen. She followed me to the basement, slowly approaching me as I waited in the far corner by the back door. "I'm not gonna hurt you!"

"I don't believe you!" I shouted at her. I waited for her to get close enough as she continued to slowly advance on me. When she was about five feet away, I teleported about ten feet behind her and galloped up the stairs into the master bedroom, closing the door and locking it behind me.

"Stop running!" she shouted at me, tromping up the stairs loudly. "Mike, I'm not gonna hurt you!" she shouted in exasperation as she made it to the bedroom door.

"I still don't believe you!" I shouted back at her. I grabbed the keyfob to the car off the dresser and teleported outside to it. Brenda heard the POPping noise I had made and trudged back down the stairs. She grabbed a housecoat and put it on, then went out the front door to see me standing by the driver's door of my car. I had fumbled the key in my panic and I saw her approaching me again. I teleported into the car, then teleported the keyfob inside with me.

"Mike, we need to talk!" she shouted at me. "Let me inside the car!"

I glared at her from inside the car, my face showing deep anger. "You're not getting in this car, Chrysalis!" I shouted at her.

She dropped her human disguise at this point and reared up on her hind legs, bringing her forelegs down with as much force as she could muster on the hood of the car, putting a couple of large dents in it. The car glowed purple for a moment and repaired the damage caused, then seemed to zap the Queen with some sort of electric shock. The Queen stumbled backward for a moment and shook the cobwebs loose. She hovered above the car now, her wings buzzing.

"That was a big mistake, Mike!" she shouted at me. I put the key in the ignition, turning the car on and starting the engine.

"Analyzing driver data. Driver data unconfirmed. Driver, please state your name," came a flat-sounding voice from the speakers.

"Michael Walker. Please help me, the changeling queen is attacking me and this car," I said, my voice in panic mode.

"Analyzing voice data. 98.3 per cent probability, Twilight Sparkle. Emergency distress signal sent, Twilight. Help should be arriving shortly."

The queen allowed the force of gravity to pull her down and she accelerated her descent as she landed on the roof of the car, directly above me. The force of her hooves hitting the car made a loud banging noise, putting large dents in it.

"Activating self-repair mode. Activating self-defense mode. Activating emergency siren. Twilight, please cover your ears, this is going to be loud," the car stated flatly. I didn't have much time to cover my ears as a very loud high pitched sound emanated from external speakers on the car. I watched as Chrysalis seemed to fly in a most disoriented manner, then crashed into the ground, her horn getting stuck in the ground. I watched as she tried to pull her head off the ground, her horn having dug deeply into it.

"Mike, you remember when I told you I wasn't going to hurt you?" the Queen asked. "Well, NOW I AM!!" she shouted. "As soon as I get my head off the ground ..."

The car ceased emitting the emergency siren at this point. The Queen continued to struggle to release herself from the embrace the ground had entangled her in -- her jagged horn was now her worst enemy. "Unh! You're going to get it for this!" she said loudly.

"Where is my wife?" I asked her. The car muffled my voice, so I doubted she heard me. I rolled down the driver's window to talk to her. I repeated my question to her so she could hear me this time.

"Your wife is safe -- for now -- but there is a reason I wanted you to stop running while we were in the house," she stated flatly. She was still trying to pull her horn out of the ground.

"You want to assimilate me into your hive, is that it?" I asked.

"That's the problem with you ponies -- you always assume the worst about me," she groaned. "I wasn't going to hurt you, honestly -- I just wanted you to return the affection I showed you. I'm not as evil as you might think."

I rolled up the window at this point and turned the car off. I set the keyfob on the floormat and locked the car, closing the driver door, locking the keyfob inside it. I trotted over to the Queen, still stuck in the ground. I used my telekinesis to loosen the ground around her horn, thus freeing her.

"Okay, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. But I need to know where my wife is," I stated.

"You're about to find out, Twilight," she grinned, her gaze meeting mine. Her eyes had a hypnotic effect on me and I felt myself going numb as a green goopy substance enveloped my body. I lost consciousness at this point, feeling a sensation of coldness. Everything took on a sickly greenish appearance before it all went black. Though I didn't know it at the time, the car's emergency distress signal had alerted Princess Celestia. She showed up about two minutes too late to help me.

--------------------------

I came to some time later, hanging upside down somewhere, encased in a green sludge. Oddly enough, I was able to breathe somewhat. I looked to my right and saw my wife, her daugher and two grandchildren.

"Mike, is there something you can do to help us?" Brenda asked me.

"I don't know -- I never should have fallen for that trap," I stated sullenly.

"Ah, good, you're awake. I suppose you're probably wondering why I've captured you," the Queen chuckled.

"So you're going to assimilate us? I thought you and your kind subsisted on love," I growled.

"We do -- and there's an almost endless supply of it here on this planet!" she giggled maniacally.

"So why not let us go and live in peace?" I asked.

"You caused me a bit of trouble, Twilight. I can't risk letting you go because you'll try to stop me from taking control of this world," she replied flatly. "I've got an army to look after, but as much life as there is on this planet, we'll be fat and happy for the next five centuries!"
