Chrysalis hovered outside of the large beast as it traveled over the great tundra, a large blue dome sat on the horizon and Chrysalis could only guess what hid inside. Chrysalis noticed the beast slow in speed and just hovered now, A small black creature flew towards her, it was Excalibur, still horribly thin and eye a white orb "Lady Queen, The Queen of Blades to me to inform you that she can not invade the Crystal Empire" Excalibur said, he hobbled in his flight and it was clear how weak he was after his weeks of being stuck in space.
"Why would that be?" Chrysalis asked, she saw Excalibur panting lightly and there were rings under his eyes, she felt very sorry for him. "Theres a psi disrupter field protecting the empire and if she enters theres a chance of her dying and any lesser zerg would implode on entering" he said "However there are some creatures in the Leviathan that could enter and take out the source off the field"
Chrysalis nodded at this "Then tell them to be deployed and i'm guessing that if her Zerg can't enter then my Changelings can't either" she said. Excalibur saluted and zoomed off and back into the Leviathan to tell Kerrigan, Chrysalis looked on as a large creature leaped out of the hovering beast and was followed by hundreds of creatures that looked zerg, but were more reptilian then there insectoid counterparts.
Cadence
The Alicorn Princess sighed and her husband looked to her "You alright?" he asked, he too sounded as she felt; Bored, the day had been rather dull and neither ruler of the empire had anything left to do. "Princess!" a loud voice yelled from outside and the door flew open to reveal a grey crystal pony in blue armor. "Yes Guard?" Cadence asked the panting solider.
"Th- there monsters outside, they just walked through the barrier and started killing the soldiers outside the city" he panted and Cadence pulled herself upright. "Thats impossible, the barrier protects us from and manner of creature with malicious intent" she said and she looked out the window to see close to the city's center were monsters of all sort and Guards bleeding on the ground in their wake.
"How is that possible, what would they be here for?" Cadence wondered aloud and that when the Guard shuffled nervously. "There is more Princess, outside we spotted a large creature with hundreds of small shapes floating around, when we looked through our telescopes we saw they were- they were Changelings" the guard said nervously and Cadence froze at the mention "THERE AFTER THE HEART!" she yelled.
"How long do we have til they reach the Heart?" Shining asked and Cadence looked back out the window to see that it was to late to estimate, they were upon the palace. A large, hulking blue beast held The Heart in it's monstrous claw and Cadence could hear it's voice from her high vantage. "Dehaka collect essence. Puny creatures will fall before me" It bellowed and it heaved The Heart at the ground and with a thunderous crack, it shattered along with the barrier protecting the empire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chrysalis smiled darkly as the barrier shattered, her hooves firmly planted in the snow, her Changelings were gathered behind "Go forth my Changelings, finish them!" Chrysalis yelled and her soldiers surged forward followed by the aliens, she didn't follow them, but instead flew towards the tower in the city's center. The Crystal ponies corpses were strewn about the city but there were still soldiers protecting the palace itself, they killed the Changelings and Zerg without a single problem, so Chrysalis decided to intervene. She charged from the side and impaled two soldiers on her horn before casting them aside, she blasted two more with her horn, killing them. There were only two left, but before Chrysalis herself could kill them, a Changeling launched itself at the and, while tearing out one's through with his horn, broke the others neck with a swift kick to the head.
It was Excalibur, Chrysalis smiled at him before he flew off to continue his fighting else where, she turned back to the entrance and began to climb inside, there were a few soldier here and there in the way of Chrysalis's objective, but they were no match against her magic. Chrysalis came upon two large double doors and with the mighty shove, they blacted forward to reveal the throne room and upon the throne was Cadence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cadence was hastily writing a letter to her aunt, she was only half way through when the door blasted open to reveal Chrysalis "I should have known it was you" Cadence said, her voice full of contempt, but Chrysalis only laughed lightly as she stepped closer. "My dear, you have no idea how long I've wished to do this" Chrysalis said darkly, but Cadence glared at the Changeling. "What the hell were those things out there?" Cadence said.
Chrysalis smiled "Just some friends I picked up" she said, Cadence heard foot steps out in the hall, they were unlike the steps of hooves, but they had the same general sound. A creature walked inside the throne room, it stood upright and it was covered in natural armor with skinless wings coming from it's back. Cadence realized she was out of time, she picked up the letter, but before she could send it Chrysalis leaped forward and tore out Cadence's throat. She couldn't cry out and there was a small blood splatter on the paper and Chrysalis smiled at her "Any last words, Princess" she said sarcastically, but Cadence smiled at her and with a small blue jet of fire from her horn, the letter shot forward in a puff of smoke.
"NOO!" Chrysalis cried and she desperately tried to catch the smoke in a magic bubble, but the magic smoke evaded her every attempt to capture it until it had disappeared beyond her magical range. Chrysalis looked out the window at the smoke until it disappeared from her sight. She turned suddenly, her face a contortion of rage and hatred "You bitch, I'll make you fucking pay!" Chrysalis screamed and her magic took hold of Cadence's horn and with a quick snap, the horn was broken off. Cadence couldn't scream because of her throat being across the room but that didn't stop her face from contorting into one of absolute pain.
Chrysalis wasn't done yet, she took hold of Cadence's horn wit her hoof and with a wild scream, she stabbed Cadence through the eye, killing her instantly. Sarah said nothing, just stood by and watched, her human side was appalled by what it had just seen, but her zerg side showed on the surface and took on a face of grim delight, this would end well for her if she played her cards just right.
