	After a long case of running, the two finally made it to the prison, which consists of five guards on the outside, while the building just looks like a normal house but painted grey. "I think this is the prison" Raiden said to the exhausted Sunny.

"You don't say" Sunny mocked.

"Jeez don't have to sound so pissed."

"You wouldn't slow down."

"Your a pegasus, aren't you faster then me, heck I even dragging this changeling along."

"Are you implying that I'm fat?"

"Where did you get that idea? I'm simply saying that your might not be one of the fastest pegasus there is, but I rarely seen a  pegasus that asked to slow down before before."

"Well I wearing heavy armour."

"Our armour isn't heavy" somepony said. The voice came behind the door where Sunny, and Raiden were waiting at. The door soon open revealing a eight feet high, grey earth pony. As he walk out he hit his head on the top part of the door way. "Why do I have to watch the door" the guard complain quietly to himself.

"Shut up, Guard he doesn't know that" Sunny said.

"It wouldn't matter, I didn't believe you any ways."

"See he know's our armour is enchanted to best suit us" Guard said.

"I just take the two changelings inside" Sunny said, taking both changelings in.

"Your name is, Raiden isn't it?" Guard asked.

"Yeah, how about yours?"

"It's Guard."

"That's... a name I guess."

"It's better then nothing... So any ways we should head in your that changeling researcher right?"

"Why else am I here."

"Fair point" Guard say as they walked in.





As Raiden enter, he figure out that the prison is pretty much a house. There's curtains, tables, chair, and pretty much what you find in a normal house. "Hey, Guard?"

"Yeah?"

"Who's house are we in?"

"This is a prison."

"Ah aren't prisons for keeping prisoners in confine space"

"THANK YOU!" a random guard shouted from the next room.

"Well if it's keeps the changelings still why complain."

"So it's a house then?"

"I guess."

"Then who's house is it?"

"How should I know, princess Twilight, just came in kick whoever live here out and use her magic to make it look like a prison."

"That's sounds like she going to get repels."

"I thought that as well, but the ponies who lived here didn't mind, since they serving her majesty."

"I guess serving a princess get's you giant bragging rights."

"To tell you the truth, I think that's what the ponies were aiming for."

"Seriously, I thought Ponyvillie was a decent normal town."

"Tell me about, to you know the, Cakes?"

"No."

"Well they own Sugarcube Corner, and they have two foals, and anypony who those foalsits those two, never does it again, not even  Pinkie Pie and she lives there."

"And how exactly do you know this?"

"Before the changeling happens, I was working my normal shift with, Sunny guarding the meeting room, for princess Celestia and she had a meeting with some ponies from Ponyville, complaining about the, Cakes."

"Wow, now I kind of afraid of Ponyville."

"I know right."

"HEY!" Sunny shouted getting both of their attention. "Raiden come on, you forget, why we here?"

"Yeah yeah go talk to the changelings" but before he didn't he cast the spell he learn earlier on hiding you true self. So he enter the room, and saw five changelings. Two that got arrested before, two that was knotted out, and one that he didn't know. The two changeling that knew who he was never talk an the other two didn't wake up, so he had to talk to the only one he didn't know.   "(Hi there)" Raiden said in changeling's language.

"(You can speak our language, but you not a changeling, how is this possible)" the changeling asked.

"(Just think about it for ten seconds and you can figure it out)."

"(Nopony ever visit changelings, and spying them on us couldn't give you the language and there's no spell... but I do recalled a male went left the hive... your that changeling aren't you?)"

"(Bingo)."

"(Traitor)."

"(You say this, but you not doing anything about it, now why is that?)"

"(Because I'm in prison, and nopony is going to believe a word)."

"(Yeah, but if you recalled, nopony can figure out our language, so how could this make sense)."

"(It's still wouldn't matter and besides... what are you planning to get out of this?)"

"(I just going to say this, the other changelings aren't coming for us, heck they might be after us)."

"(Easy for you to say, your a male. Males are needed to repopulate, they only find me as wasted of food)."

"(Sorry to say, but I've been attacked already, you see those two?)" Raiden said pointed at the piss off changelings.

"(Yeah, Dawn and, Dusk twin sisters of the highest hive)."

"(They're are the ones who attacked me)."

"(I figured since the two unconscious just came, and those two came a little before them)."

"(Yeah, but any ways I just saying your on you're own, and unless you like waiting in fear, you're do something about it)."

"(But what can I do, I'm just waiting till a guard comes in to have us killed)."

"(WHAT! when did this happen?)"

"(The whole changeling attacking Ponyville, Conami really wanted Ponyville)."

"(Oh yeah what hive are you from?)"

"(Sadly Conami)."

"(You do know there not coming for you then?)"

"(Why do you think I said sadly, I'm just a harvester caught in the cross fire, heck I been basely feeding everypony here, I was lucky I wasn't sent to my death, there was a lot more then five, and I was busy feeding every changelings, I feel sorry for the ones who got token away just to keep me alive, I was the only harvester)."

"(Well this sucks, this is why I'm not following that hive any more)."

"(So what are you planning then?)"

"(I said we should start our living on our own)."

"(Do you really think you could pull something like that off?)"

"(Better then doing nothing, but are willing to help?)."

"(What can I do?)"

"(You can first convince our friends over there to join, then when I come back I teach you a spell, to help you stay hidden for a long while, but not now, I don't think I have enough time, the sun's going down)."

"(Yeah, I try and convince the them, while you get back, and hurry I think the guard coming to have us killed)"

"(Don't worry I won't let that happen to you or any other changeling)."

"(Thanks, by the way I'm Lily)."

"(I'm Raiden, I better go, tell the other the idea and if they planning to come, think of a pony design your going to need one)."

"(Ok, goodbye and good luck)."

With that Raiden left the other changelings alone and return to Guard and Sunny. "What were you guy talking about?" Guard asked.

"Yeah I didn't know you could speak changeling" Sunny said.

"Well I'm full of surprises."

"I guess you are, but you better leave it's getting dark" Guard said.

"Are right let's go, Sunny" Raiden said, leaving the prison and heading home with Sunny. On their way back Raiden remember something he wanted to asked. "So, Sunny how to you know, Guard or is it like you only know him though your job."

"I knew him since we we're foals, and he's great on keeping secrets so if you have any problem you should go asked him."

"I'll keep that in mind" Raiden said as they walked home, he need to be well rested to figure out a plan.
