"So, what was it like before discord was banished?" twilight asked me. We were sitting at the park and twilight wanted a first-hand account on the events of the past. Since this is better than the last thing she asked for me, I said yes. 
"It was rather interesting, there was no boundary between town and the everfree, so there were a lot more problems." I said, I was happy that I was sharing my knowledge with the ponies so that they wouldn’t be so biased on the past. "Back then, after I met Luna, things got interesting."
"Interesting how?" twilight asked.
"Well, let’s just say that before discord went into stone, I made sure he knew what true fear and pain was." I replied, remembering the many times I gouged him with my horns, which had long since fallen off.
"You made the god of chaos afraid?" twilight asked, curiosity in her eyes.
"More than once, you may not know it, but I looked a lot different back then," I started. "Back then, I had two horns, both above my eyes and sticking a good three feet out in front of me, I was smaller, only about 20 feet tall. I also has spikes on my tail and could run faster."
"What happened to all of those?" twilight asked, looking up at me.
"Evolution, my dear friend. I gained size and strength, but lost most of my weapons and speed." I replied. If twilight was confused, then she hid it well. "So what was with pinkie pie before?" I asked, remembering seeing that pink devil run after rainbow dash before I came.
“I don’t know, just being pinkie, I guess" she replied, not really caring, as she was comparing what I said to her history book from the library. "So, on with the story’s."
................................................................................................................................................
I had recently found a nice pond closer to the ponies and had begun to move my stuff to it. I walked carefully through the trees with my own version of a saddle bag, but this was made of thick wood and hydra skin for straps. I put the bags down and slumped over. Overfilling the thing was not a good idea, I unload the stone panels and start to set them up into my shelter. I continued to work on it until I needed more parts of it. I needed to go past PonyVille so perhaps I could visit again.
Putting the backpack back on, I walked through the forest. I reached half way there when I picked up on my changeling friends. Hiding like usual, but they were lower to the ground.
"Colicer, Ralisea, I know your there..." I said out loud. They both run out and jump onto me, which only got them to my knees.
"Hi Radar!" Colicer said as he flew up into my right bag. Ralisea doing the same up to my left.
"So, watcha doing?" she asked.
"Well, I was moving to a new lake. Why?" I ask them.
"Can we help?" they both ask.
"Well, can you lift 5 ton blocks of stone?" I ask them. Already knowing the reply.
"Well, we can help with the little stuff." Ralisea said.
"What are you talking about," I ask, "that is the little stuff."
"Well, can we come and watch?" Colicer asked.
"Um... I was planning on stopping in a pony town to check on some new friends." I reply. "How well can you change?"
“I can fully change into a blue earth pony and copy another pony, other than that, nothing much." Colicer replied.
“I can just make myself look like a pink unicorn..." Ralisea replied.
"That should work, but stay in the bags, don’t need to have trouble with your parents." I replied.
"YAY!"
What have I gotten myself into...?
................................................................................................................................................
I walked carful through the streets as the ponies went about their day. I planed carefully where my next for step would be so that I didn’t step on something or someone. I reached a spot where some shops were set up. I saw Fluttershy escorting a mother duck and her ducklings through the crowed as well as pinkie drinking a milk shake.
"How do I look?" Ralisea asked Colicer in my right bag.
"Good, but do you have to make your mane yellow? It’s a bit bright." he replied.
"Well, ponies are bright," she replied. "Oh and FYI, your horn is showing."
"Oh, thanks." he replayed before a faint shimmering was emitted. "Better?"
"Yes, but you could use some color."
“I haven’t practiced much with this form."
I zone them out as I watch on. I looked around the house tops before looking back down on the streets. There, I saw a griffon, something you don’t see too often. I saw that Fluttershy, who was walking backwards, was going to bump into the griffon, I started to warn her but it was too late. 
"What’s going on?" Ralisea asked me. I turn my head to her and shush her. When I turn my head back to Fluttershy, the griffin roars in her face. Making her run in tears. I watch Fluttershy run until I couldn’t see her, then I turn to the griffin. 
I take a step forward, cracking the stone and sending a shudder through the town. The griffin turns to me and its eyes grow to the size of a grape fruit. I lower my head so I’m looking strata into its eyes. Taking a closer look, I can tell the griffin is female. She backs up before lunging toward me, but stops short and roars again, as if she was trying to sound louder with momentum.
"Aw, how cute." I reply before I Roar myself.
Ponies ran for cover and the earth trembles. Once I was finished, she had the look as if she stood in front of a fan all day long and had a face of complete shock and fear before she shot up into the air at a speed I thought was faster than Rainbow Dash.
I turn to where Fluttershy ran, thinking about following her when I heard Pinkie Pie. "Woozier! I didn’t think you could be so lowed!"
"You would be surprised." I replayed. "I’m going to go check up on Fluttershy, make sure she’s alright."
"Okoi doke loky, and thanks for putting that meanie in her place." she said before bouncing off.
................................................................................................................................................
The second I got out of town I went into a full run toward Fluttershy house. Following her sent and hoof prints, I soon arrived to her cottage. I lower my head and peered through a window. Fluttershy was laying on her couch, surrounded by her animals, and with her face berried into a pillow+.
"Fluttershy? You ok?" I asked, the animals took one look at me before hiding. Fluttershy looked up to me, I could tell she was crying hard. "Can you come out side?"
She slowly got up and opened her door, I laid down so my head was at the bottom of her front steps. "Hi, Radar..." she says barely audible.
"You ok? I saw what happened in town," I ask. She collapse onto my nose and starts crying again.
“I just don’t know what I did wrong." she said.
"From what I heard, it was what that griffin did." Ralisea said from the bag. Who was quickly hushed by Colicer.
"Um... Who are they?" Fluttershy asked.
"They..." I started out, trying to think of a good lie. "Were out in the forest, I found them and took them home, why they are still with me, I have no idea." I said quickly.
Both of them had stepped out of the bag now. And were in full few. The only thing going through my head was 'oh god what have I done.'
"Aw... their so cute!" Fluttershy says, as if nothing happened. "What are you doing with Radar?"
"Well... we liked the ride so much that we went for round two." Colicer replayed.
"Well, I should take them BACK home now." I said, "You take it easy. Ok?"
"Ok," she replayed in a soft tone.
................................................................................................................................................
"So, care to explain what happened in Ponyville today?" Zmbreca asked me.
"You want the long version, or the short one?" I ask. Knowing that I may have broken a rule or two.
“I want to hear all of this." Caralint, the queen of Colicer's hive said.
“I was moving some stuff to another lake, I just unloaded when I thought about going through town to see some new friends when Colicer and Ralisea showed up. They wanted to come too. And I let them, because they had learned how to change their looks to a more covering extent." I said, stopping to think what I would say next.
"That does not explain why you roared in the middle of that town..." Caralint said.
"in the town, there was a griffin, she made one of the nicest ponies there cry, who was also a friend, all I did was make sure that griffin didn’t cause more harm."
"You didn’t eat it, did you?" Alena, a Queen from another hive asked, her red main covering her left eye. "Because we had a spike in fear in that town when you did."
"No I did not eat the griffin, too many fathers. But I did roar in the middle of the market at the peak of shopping." I reply.
"That would do it." she said.
"You also made a slight decline in love." Chrysalis added.
"Now slight was this decline?" I asked, knowing it would almost be nothing.
"2 ounces less when you walked in, and another 3 when you roared." she sneered.
"That’s not even half a pound, making it irrelevant." I say.
"Not when we are down 35 pounds..." The love eater says.
"How many cities are your changelings in?" Alena asked.
"25 as of yesterday." Chrysalis said.
"And your complaining about a drop in love that’s not even half a pound, in one teeny tiny town?" she said, "you may not be the best queen but I know your better than that."
"Are you mocking me?" Chrysalis asked in a threatening tone.
"What? No! Why would you even say that?" Alena asked, clearly shocked.
"Now girls, we are getting off topic!" Caralint said. But to no effect.
"You dare downsize MY hive while yours isn’t even at 15,000? I have an army larger than that!" Chrysalis shot at Alena.
"Girls, this really is NOT the time or the place for this." Carcen, who was between Chrysalis and Alena said.
"Oh and WHAT do you know? Little miss Nocked up!" Chrysalis yelled. That part drew the line for me so I swung about and slammed my tale between Carcen and Chrysalis, making a large wall between them.
"Even when I’m on trial, I have to save one of you." I said before dragging my tale torts Chrysalis to push her back, tearing up part of the podium in the proses.
Carcen got off her pillow and walked, no, more like strutted, away from chrysalis. But before she got into cover, Chrysalis jumped over my tail and shot blindly toward the other queens. The bolt of energy lined up with Carcen. But before it could hit the Mother-to-Be, Alena swung her body so that the shot hit her spinal plate instead of Carcen’s rear plate. The other queen’s shrieked in horror as Alena was kicked back and fell to the ground. I swung about, and scooped Chrysalis in my mouth. She started to wiggle free but I chomped hard before she could fall.
She was hanging by her mane and screaming at me and the other queens who gathered around Alena. I turned toward the back of the room and swung as hard as I could, letting her go and slamming her into the door, through the hardened emotional gel, and half way across the stone floored hall.
I busted the doors open to shocked workers, I then Bellowed as lowed as I could, "MEDDIC!” I turn back to the queens, they were trying to keep Alena awake. On a closer look, there was a large crack running the thickness of the red spinal plate that was being stained green with blood. A shot that got through a spinal plate would have gone through a rear plate and kept going.
"Alena? Please, don’t go!" Carsen said, crying harder than Fluttershy.
"It will be ok, just, just take care of my hive..." the downed queen said. I forced myself to scrounge up all the anger I had and put it in an emotional crystal, being only 5 ounces, it wouldn’t do much, but it was a start.
I placed the crystal onto the crack that was now almost completely green, her body absorbed the emotion quickly and the bleeding slowed down. 5 changelings with boxes ran past me and up to Alena. They had red spinal plates as well, so this was there queen....
They pulled out a large red crystal and cleaned the gash, which had now almost completely stopped bleeding.
"It’s barely bleeding? With this much blood and that short of time, that’s imposable!" one of them said.
"What if 5 ounces of anger were absorbed?" I asked.
One of them thought about it for a second before replying, "yep, something like that this early would do this, but who had the crystal?"
“I did, well, I made it." I replied.
He stared up at me, "you, you saved out queen." he was almost crying, as were the other worked as they administered the crystal. 
I turned to Alena, "you can look after your own hive, you’ll be fine."
"I’m... I’m going to live?" she asked. I nodded.
"Just take it easy, and don’t move." I said to her. The other queens stood up from Alena.
Caralint was the first to speak, "Radar, as the queen with the largest hive in this room, I hear by pardon you of all crimes to the Changeling Empire for going above and beyond the duty to save a queens life, all those in favor of this action, signal so by saying yes."
"Yes." Carson said, quickly, tearing up.
"Yes" Zmbreca said, trying to sound strong, but faulting.
"Ye... yes" Alena struggles to say. The bleeding completely stopped.
"The motion carry’s, just don’t do it again." Caralint says. "Now on to other matters..."
We all look into the hallway to see that Chrysalis and her accompanying guards are nowhere to be found.
"Next time I see her, no matter how many guards she has, I’m biting her skull off." I say.
"Hehe, get in line," Zmbreca says from behind me.
................................................................................................................................................
The hunt for Chrysalis ended in failure. She almost seemed to have disappeared into thin air. I was now escorting the wounded but slowly healing Alena back to her hive.
"You saved her life, you know." I say to her.
"No I didn’t, I just saved her the pain..." she replied.
"Alena, how much did you pay attention in Biology?" I ask.
"Not too much, why?" she says.
"The rear plate of a changeling is 1/3 the thickness of the spinal plate, 1/4 when the changeling is pregnant," I say.
"So? What’s that got to do with this?"
"That shot went state through your spinal plate and into your body, if it did that to a spinal plate, then it wouldn’t have stopped, going through the body if it went in through the rear plate almost unopposed." I say.
"My gods, I really did save her life." she says.
"And the life of her unborn nymph." I add, "You did something I would have done, but couldn’t do, and for that, I admire you."
"Thank you Radar, but you also saved MY life." she adds.
“I guess I did," I say, “I guess I did..."
