In the library of Ponyville, Twilight and company carried Kit inside.
"Wow, that was surprisingly easy." Twilight said as Applejack hog tied Kit. She got a scroll ready and wrote "Mission successful." and had Spike send it.
"The critter didn't put up much of a fight, are ya sure this is the changling prince we were supposed ta catch?" Applejack asked.
"Well he does fit the description that the princess told me." Twilight looked at the unconscious changling.
"It's strange, it looks just like your average alicorn, save for the wings. It doesn't have a cutie mark and it's eyes are bug like."
"Oh oh, twilight look at its wings." Pinkie blurted out while jumping up and down.
"Its wings are hard and sharp at the ends, this must be one of the genetic mutations the princess was talking about." Twilight said. "Its almost like we are staring at a different species altogether."
Twilight was brought out of her amusement by a burping Spike.
"*Urrpp*.....I hate it when that happens." Twilight ignored him and grabbed the letter, she nearly dropped it out of shock of what she just read.
Dear Twilight,
I'm glad to hear that you've captured Kit. Now read this carefully and tell nopony else but the other elements. Not even Spike should know. During Kits stay here in the castle I did some tests on him. His biology is completely different than that of a normal changling as you might have noticed. Now what you are about to read may come as a shock to you and your friends, but I assure you it's the truth. Long ago well before my time, a powerful shadow rampaged through Equestria destroying all life as it went about its business. Not even the elements of harmony could defeat it. The souls of the ponies consumed by this shadow called out to the elements and the seventh element, the element of life was created. This element only makes its appearance known only when the world is about to be destroyed. Its a fail safe, or a last resort against any possible threat. I fear that this element has found itself a new bearer. By some unknown reason the element chose to rest within a young changling prince, the one you have caught if you are wondering. I want you and the other elements to raise Kit, he must learn how to use his abilities if we are to survive. I believe something big is about to happen, and this young prince holds the key to our salvation. Teach him our ways, raise him and don't let Crysalis get to him. I fear it would be disastrous if she did. He is an element bearer like you and your friends, please be kind to him.
Celestia
Twilight made sure to send Spike out before she read the letter to her friends. The bombshell the princess dropped on them came as a huge shock.
"What the hey just happened." Applejack retorted.
"Why would the princess ask us to capture him only to tell us to let him go?" Twilight said, for once in her life she was at a loss for words.
Rarity just fainted, and landed with a thud onto the floor. Pinkie Pie's jaw hit the floor with a thunk.
"I...just....he....wha???" Was all Rainbow Dash could say. Fluttershy was busy removing the ropes from Kits hooves. Twilight read the letter again and slumped on the floor.
"Oh sweet Celestia, what the buck just happened?" She said.
****************************
Crysalis was busy tending to her newly hatched children, when a drone came flying in looking likr he just saw a ghost. He went up to her and whispered in her ear. Her eyes shot open and she screamed,
"WHAT!, YOU WERE FOUND OUT AND ATTACKED BY ANOTHER DRONE CALLING HIMSELF THE MOONLIGHT KNIGHT!" She rubbed her temples as the drone coward in fear. It was then she remembered the defected drone she hatched.
"I don't believe it, Kits still alive and he has the guts to betray me. You there gather some troops and find him. Destroy him and bring me his head." She growled. The drone got up and flew out of the room. Crysalis sighed in anger and sat down.
"I should have killed him myself when I had the chance."
