Later that night, at the rooftop of the apartment, Blueblood went to the top and saw Rarity’s wheelchair.
“Rarity, is there something wrong,” Blueblood said. “You called me and told me there’s something wrong.”
“There is,” Rarity said. Suddenly, the wheelchair turned and Rarity was wearing her Radiance costume and bracelet. A purple light blasted out and wrapped around Blueblood. Hum Drum walked from behind the wheelchair.
“Darling, what’s the matter,” Blueblood said.
“You are a liar, that’s what,” Radiance shouted. “You told me that there was no one important at the door, but Hum Drum is very important to me. And you told him I wasn’t home. I thought you were good, but you were working for Anar D the whole time. Somehow, you put me in this wheelchair!”
Blueblood sighed. “You weren’t supposed to find out this way. Well, when worse comes to worse…” With very little effort, the stallion broke out of the hard light and Radiance was shoved out of her wheelchair.
“How’d you do that,” Radiance asked.
“Your greatest desire gives me strength,” Blueblood said. Suddenly, Blueblood shot a green light around him. When the light dimmed, a new body emerged. It had the shape of a pony, but it had holes through its legs and it had a black body and no hair. It had blue eyes. Its horn was swirled and twisted. On its back, insect wings were sticking out.
“It’s a hideous pony-bug,” Radiance shouted. She then gasped. “AND I KISSED IT!”
“I am a Changeling,” the bug said. “We feed on love and emotion, which you’ve been giving off for the whole month. If you would’ve given us a few more days, we’d drain so much strength from you, you’d be too weak to breathe. But that won’t matter. Soon, Anar D will give us a great, big buffet. And now, you die.”
The Changeling flew into the air and changed direction toward Radiance. She tried to move, but her lower legs slowed her down. She covered her head and prepared for what would come.
Suddenly, just as the Changeling was about to strike Radiance, Hum Drum jumped at the Changeling’s face and attacked it. The Changeling zigzagged in the air trying to get Hum Drum off.
“GET OFF ME, YOU ANNOYING GECKO,” the Changeling shouted.
Just then, the Changeling lashed its head to the side and Hum Drum fell off and landed hard into the wheelchair. Hum Drum tried to get up, but his back was in pain. Radiance saw the Changeling shake its head and she saw Hum Drum in the wheelchair.
When Radiance stared at the wheelchair, she could see a flash of many colors coming from it. She could had the same feeling coming her eyes. At that moment, she had an idea.
“Hum Drum,” Radiance said, “Take my wheelchair and get out of here!”
“WHAT,” Hum Drum said. “But this is your only method of transportation.”
Up in the air, the Changeling regained its senses and looked and saw Radiance and Hum Drum.
“Right now, it’s the only way you can escape,” Radiance said. “Take it and go and find the rest of the Power Ponies! They must be warned!”
“I’m not leaving with your only way to escape,” Hum Drum protested.
The Changeling was gaining speed and it was getting closer to its enemies.
“HUM DRUM, THERE’S NO TIME,” Radiance shouted. “I KNOW IT MEANS A LOT TO ME, BUT YOU NEED IT MORE THAN I DO!”
Suddenly, she felt a feeling inside of her. At that moment, she floated in the air and glowed a rainbow light. Her confidence was refilled and she faced the Changeling. She pointed her bracelet and a large fly-swatter appeared and whacked the Changeling to the wall. Radiance and Hum Drum were amazed by it.
“YOUR POWER,” Hum Drum shouted. “YOU’RE STRONG AGAIN!”
“Well, now,” Radiance said. “I think it’s time for ‘Blueblood’ and I to make this break-up official.”
The Changeling crawled out of the wall and saw Radiance using her powers greatly.
“I hate this part,” the Changeling gulped in a cowardly tone.
For the next few minutes, Radiance attacked the Changeling with all sorts of hard light images. The Changeling was attacked by a bag of bricks, a jet, a pair of Rock-Em-Sock-Em Robots, and more. The battle ended when a giant golf club smacked the Changeling far out of Manehattan.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH,” the Changeling shouted until it was out of sight.
Then, Radiance landed on the rooftop with all four legs working.
“I can walk,” Radiance said. “I CAN WALK!”
“Congratulations,” Hum Drum said limping out of the wheelchair.
“Are you all right,” Radiance asked.
“No problem,” Hum Drum said. “I’ll walk it off.”
They stared at each other for a few moments before clearing their throats.
“So um…” Hum Drum said.
“We’ve got to find our friends,” Radiance said. “Who knows what Anar D left for the other 5.”
Radiance and Hum Drum then left the rooftop and headed towards the end of the city. Neither of them noticed that Radiance’s pendant with diamonds started to glow with a rainbow light.
“I just have one question,” Hum Drum said. “Where did Anar D get a Changeling?”
In the Sisterhood’s flying fortress, Anar D was laying back in a hammock taking a snooze. Suddenly, he woke up because of a demonic voice.
“Anar D,” the voice called. “Anar D!”
Anar D picked up a handheld mirror and saw a large female changeling on the reflective surface. She was taller and she had a dark-green mane.
“Ah, Queen Scynder,” Anar D said. “Don’t worry; the invasion will come as scheduled just like we agreed.”
“Actually, that isn’t why I’m here, trickster,” Queen Scynder said. “I felt a disturbance.”
“In the Force,” Anar D asked wearing Jedi robes and carrying a green lightsaber.
“FROM THE CHANGELING YOU BROUGHT TO YOUR WORLD, YOU IDIOT,” Queen Scynder shouted. “I just got word from him. The unicorn defeated him!”
“How is that possible,” Anar D said. “It’s nearly been a month now. She has be too weak to do anything.”
“The Changeling said that she gained a bigger amount of power,” Queen Scynder said. “Do you know what this means? The ponies you’re against have begun gaining the power of the Harmony Gems!”
“Oh,” Anar D shivered. “That might prove to be a problem for our master plan.”
“You think,” Queen Scynder asked. “Think about how much of a problem the Harmony Gems did to you last time. Unless the Power Ponies are gone, the Harmony Gems will return, along with the Harmony Crown. THEN, WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU?!”
“Don’t get your wings all tangled up,” Anar D said. “So what if the unicorn survived? The rest of the Power Ponies’ deathtraps are completely foolproof.”
“For your sake, you better be right,” Queen Scynder said. “You know how much failure isn’t suitable for… him. You think you know madness. If you fail, we’ll make sure you wish for something as sweet as madness.”
“You know, you still never told me,” Anar D said. “Who is that guy at the mountain? Who are you working for?”
“You’re just like all the rest, Anar D,” Queen Scynder said. “You think you’re the most powerful thing in existence. You have no idea.” She ended the call and looked at her Changeling swarm behind her.
“Do we invade now, my queen,” a Changeling asked.
“Not yet, my little ones,” Queen Chrysalis said. “Wait until Anar D gives the signal. Then, Equestria will be ours.
“I remember back when we were a race
That was on top of the food chain
The love, the emotion
And all the devotion
Would give us a filling gain
Then, the Harmony Gems defeated us
They stopped us in our tracks
Now, thanks to Anar D
Equestria will see
That Queen Scynder and the Changelings are back
We’ll have total control
Of every mare and foal
No one shall stand in our way
It will all be mine
My personal design
And we’ll be there to stay
So Changelings, prepare
To go back there
Now, I’ve always considered another path
And changing my own creed
The trouble is, no matter what
I had to have fought
I can’t fight the desire to feed
So now, I must to whatever
To go back where we came from
And as for the ponies
Who left us lonely
We’ll send all of them to kingdom come
We’ll have total control
Of every mare and foal
No one shall stand in our way
It will all be mine
My personal design
And we’ll be there to stay
Out of thin air
We’ll go back there”
At that moment, the Changelings celebrated and danced along. They marched across the room and gazed at their queen who had a confident face.
“WE’LL HAVE TOTAL CONTROL,” Queen Scynder sang,
“OF EVERY MARE AND FOAL
NO ONE WILL STAND IN OUR WAY
IT WILL ALL BE OURS
THE ULTIMATE POWERS
AND WE’LL BE THERE TO STAY
WE WON’T FIGHT FAIR
WHEN WE GO BACK THEEEEEEEEEEEERE”
“THERE’LL BE MISERY AND DESPAIR,” they all sang,
“WHEN WE GO BACK THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA”
