“So, when can i get back into my work. Do you have any dragons i could experiment on?” RainFall said with excitement. Princess Celestia walked over to him, and said “Sadly enough we don’t have any dragons, what kind of experiments would you do anyways?” He walked over to his belongings that he had found in Ponyville. He pulled a journal out of one bag, and pointed to one page. “It says here that if needed to we could train a dragon to fight for us on our side.” He looked up from the book, and locked his eyes with hers, and said “This could help us in our war, now tell me do you have any dragons?” Princess Celestia looked at the ground, and said “I know of one, but i will have to ask someone for him. He is a great dragon, and we all know him as a great friends. Will this experiment do anything bad to him at all?” RainFall looked at her, and said “Oh of course not it’s not like i have to throw him into lava or something. It’s just a training system of rewards, and stuff.” Princess Cadence entered the room as Rainfall said “Bahhhhhhhhh, I don’t know any specific kind of things that could hurt a dragon anyways.” Princess Cadence ignored RainFall, and continued to Princess Celestia. “Well he is just explaining how he could help reinforce the castle with a friendly dragon.” Cadence turned to him, and said “How do you go about doing so.” He picked up his book again, and read directly from his own writings. “Well it’s a simple rewarding program where we grow one baby drake by giving him some of his own possessions. It’s quite simple all we need is a big amount of random objects, and a way to identify enemies.” Princess Luna came down from the ceiling, and said “Does Sombra have any sort of dragon guarding his fortress?” RainFall looked down at the ground, and said “Yes he does, but he doesn’t know how to keep it in line without disturbing it, and you don’t want to do that.”

“You all have to leave now, he is weak we don’t want to miss this window.” Shining Armor said with some command in his voice. There was a flash, and Cadence appeared behind him “It’s not a good idea to go yet…” a changeling hopped on to Cadence’s back, and started to cast a spell, but Shining Armor’s horn started to glow brighter and brighter until it shot a burst of light. It shot the changeling right off of her. “Prepare yourselves, I have a feeling there is more than just that one.” In the exact moment that Shining Armor said that seven changelings popped out of a forest nearby, and six from a nearby pond. “How could you guys choose such a bad place, it’s perfect for such an ambush.” Shining Armor said while charging up his horn. Twilight started her spell, but then she fell unconscious. “NO!!!! Twilight.” Shining Armor shot his magic as much as he could the others tried their hardest to fight back the changelings, but more and more showed up. “YOU TWO SHALL PAY FOR YOUR TREACHERY!!!” the Queen of the Changelings landed in front of them all, and moved through a crowd of changelings, and said “Take these two the the interrogation room, take the others to the dungeons.” Her voice commanded the other changelings.
