        “Huntress, get over her!” Discord yelled in a panic.
        ”What is it?” she asked as a telescope was handed to her. When she looked in. She saw three very angry alicorns heading straight for her. ”Discord, get everyone to the back of castle, I’ll handle this,” she said as started directly at Discord.
        “Alright then, but if this doesn’t work…” Discord let the sentence hang as he went to go round up all of their pets.



        ”I’m sorry,” was the first thing that was said in the room after Celestia, Luna and Candace burst into her castle.
“Sorry, Ha!” Luna scoffed. “You have converted 8 ponies to your cause, and I don’t recall you getting the permission.”
”I didn’t have a choice,” huntress said as her voice cracked.
“Of course you did!” Cadence shouted.
“She’s right,” Celestia said, looking at the floor.
“What!” The other two alicorns asked in surprise.
”The world needs to stay in balance, too much of anything and life cannot function, with just how many victories harmony has had in the past years. It was getting dangerously close to termination of all life. That is why I did what I did,” Huntress said, tears rolling down her cheek. ”Not only that, but with only one wild place left, Nature itself was threatened.”
“Tia, you knew?” Luna asked her sister.
“Parsley, I knew the thing about nature but not harmony,” she said ashamed that she kept this from her fellow rulers “I was going to tell you, I just needed time to get a plan together.”
”I already have one,” Huntress said, everyone turned to her as she they listened to the only plan they had. ”Using both mine, Discords and your magic, I will even out all of Equestria. Harmony to rule the seasons, time, and the sky. Chaos to rule weather and the supernatural, and nature to rule the bodies of the living.” The alicorns all looked at each other. slightly agreeing to the Nature goddess’ plan.
“Okay, so how do we go about acting this plan?” Candace asked.
”Harmony is still way too powerful, even after losing the elements, you three are the strongest champions. I need at least two of you to convert over to nature. You will keep your memories, your powers, the only thing that will change is your physical body and the source of which you draw your power.” Huntress braced herself for rejection. Instead, Luna and Celestia walked up to her.
“If this is the only way. Then I accept your offer,” Luna said as she looked at her sister. 
“Me too. It is the only way to save Equestria,” Celestia said to her former student. Huntress smiled, not an evil smile, but actual smile, the same kind Twilight used to use when she got a new book.
”Thankyou,” she half said, half whispered as she led to the two sisters. Leaving Cadence alone.
“Is it painful?” Luna asked nervously.
”Not usually,” Huntress replied as she opened the door to a empty room except for the six circles in a seemingly random pattern on the floor. They seemed to have a light glow coming off of them. ”I am going to need you two to stay in her as the conversion process occurs, okay,” she left right after the princesses nodded.



        “Do you feel any different?” Luna asked her sister. She shook her head. “Me neither.”
It had been 10 minutes before anything started to happen. Luna felt her grip on the power of the moon slip as her mane returned to it’s default blue. Celestia’s mane did the same thing. Becoming Pink.
“I guess it’s starting,” Celestia added right before she felt a her muscles tensed. Her hair on her tail fell off. She clenched her teeth out of impulse as a new grew in it’s place. Her coat covered it as the muscular tail finished growing in. Her horn shrunk back into her head as her muscles locke in place.
Luna didn’t have time to notice what was happening to her sister before all of her muscles went lax. They grew along with the rest of her body, nearly tripling her size. She slid onto her belly, unable to support her own weight as her wings vanished. She gazed into her sister's eyes as she felt her fur come off. Bit by bit. Replaced by a leathery skin. Her snout flattened out and grew in length as it skid across the floor, unable to be controlled by her relaxed muscles. 
Celestia could barely breathe her muscles were so tight. Her hooves reshaped into paws. As the muscles contorted, they grew in strength. Her muscles loosed as her fur became orange with black strips. She stretched as claws formed on her paws. As she looked at her claws, she thought: I guess Huntress kept her word, I don’t feel any different mentally. Her transformation into a tiger complete.
        Luna felt herself regain control of her muscles as a hard, leathery scales formed on her back. Her teeth sharpened as she grew claws. Her skin and scales turned to the color of mud. Her now giant tail swinging back and forth as she moved across the ground as she transformed into a alligator completed itself. Thier alicorn powers shot back to them as an aura of power surrounded them.
        ”The transformation is complete. So, do you two want to pick new names?” she asked politely.
