Ponyville's Conversation

The two sisters spent a long time just staring into space. Huntress had enough time to make a cup of tea for Candace before they finally snapped out of it.
“That wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be,” the younger sister said.
“Oh, hey you're not brain dead!” Discord remarked as he handed them as he made a map of Equestria into existence on the floor.
”You two should probably pick names. Even if they are your old ones,” Huntress said as she sipped her tea.
“Right, I’ll be Dawn,” The older one said.
“I’ll be Dusk,” the younger one added.
“A little boring if you ask me,” Discord said as he hovered over them.
“Everything is boring to you,” Cadance said with a hint of annoyance.
”I think we should get back to the business,” Huntress said as she sat down next the map.
“Right,” Dawn said shaking her head. “I assume we are going to finish off Ponyville before we move.”
“Yes, that is the plan,” Candace said.
”The problem is that I can only convert so many ponies at a time,” Huntress said with a sigh.
“How many a day?” Dusk asked.
”About 5 at maximum. Why?” Huntress replied.
“What we could do is give your friends the ability to convert via their bite,” Dusk said as she thought out her plan.
“Why their bite, that is very slow and boring. How about I give each one a differencing method of conversion,” Discord proposed.
“What do you have in mind?” Candace asked.
“How about I give Predator and Graul the ability to convert by just having someone look at them. Hunger and Devour could convert by touch. Pack might be able to use her howl to convert,” Discord rattled off.
”Okay then,”Huntress said as the rest of them silently agreed. Discord cracked a huge smile as he casts his spell. spell.”Everyone get in here!” She yelled out as her subjects came rushing in.
”Howl, Longing and Chew. Get out,” She commanded. After they were gone. she continued. ”You all now have the power to convert others. Use it on ponyville.”
“Course,” they all said as they left on their mission.


Zecora got up from her slumber and began to brew some potions. She saw something move quickly outside her door. She darted for the back of her hut. trying to get away from whatever was trying to get in. She sighed with relief as the figure moved away from her door. She got up and continued to work on her potions. After she finished brewing potions she went and made her self food. She grabbed some fruits from her pantry, but she was still hungry. In fact, she felt a little sick after eating that. She sniffed. Something smelt really good! she followed the scent. Her tall mane shrinking as she continued her search. her coat changed color to a pale yellow as she found the source of the smell. It was a deer wandering around outside. She gasped. Why does this smell like this. It smells like bliss. She gave in as sharp teeth grew in her mouth as she jumped at the deer and devoured it. Afterwards, she felt much better and went to sleep. Right in the middle of the forest.
She awoke to the sound of wind brushing into her hut. She got up and licked the blood from her teeth as she went back inside. Not realising she just ate a deer. She started to brew some more. But here newly grown in claws and paws kept getting in the way. She resorted to using her new tail to grab potions. The stripes on her fur disappeared. She stopped brewing potions at the sound of something coming closer. Her new feline body reacted and she crawled toward the motion. As a leopard arose from the shadows. She lost whatever zebra that was still inside of her to the lion that replaced it.
”You need to come with me,” Graul demanded.
”Of course, ma’m,” the lion Tracker replied as they left for the palace.
