“Your friend is nothing but a low down, self centered-GAH!”
Rarity twisted the changeling's back leg even more and put more pressure on his back with her back legs. “You take that back!” She yelled.
The changeling grunted from the pain and pounded his front hoof on the ground. ”Nrhg...NEVER!”
“Then if that’s the way you want it…” Rarity stopped twisting and wrapped her hooves around his waist. She then hoisted him in the air and performed a german suplex, completely knocking the changeling out from the sheer pain in his head. Rarity stood back on her four hooves and huffed. “Ruffian…”
Meanwhile, The other ponies were having their own fun. Fluttershy was crawling her way through the fight, hoping not to run into any of them; Rainbow Dash was currently pounding a changeling into the ground; Applejack was doing the same, though she was using her back legs to do it, and Twilight was still hot on the impostor Pinkie’s tail, but the changelings in the way weren’t helping her catch him.
“Move outta the way!” Doomie yelled, barreling through all his brothers.
Pinkie continued hanging on to Doomie, not wanting to let go. She looked behind her to see that Twilight still wasn't letting up, she looked back at the still Disguised Doomie and asked. “Doomie? W-Where are we going?”
Doomie stopped in his tracks, making Twilight fly right past them and into a changeling. “I-I was hoping you would know.”
“You’re the one leading us.” Pinkie said, now getting off him.
Doomie tapped his chin. “Maybe if we-”
*ZAP*
Doomie yelped and hugged Pinkie as a bolt of magic shot right at his front hooves. Pinkie looked ahead to see Twilight, anger still plastered on her face. “Alright.” Twilight said. “Which one’s the real Pinkie?”
“She is!” Both Doomie and Pinkie said. They then looked at each other in astonishment. “Wait,” Both said simultaneously again. “you think I’m Pinkie, but you’re Pinkie, or maybe I really am Pinkie...wow, you’re good at being Pinkie!”
Twilight sighed. “Guess it’s never this easy…”
“What’s never this easy” Both Pinkies asked.
“Alright then, let’s do this the cliche way.” Twilight cleared her throat. “What’s my name?”
“OH!” The Pinkie on the right said. “Are we doing one of those question games?”
“Just answer the question.” Twilight said.
“Your names Twilight.” Both Pinkies said before looking at each other. “Geez, you really are good at being Pinkie.”
Twilight was starting to get a headache from this. “Grrah...That question was too easy.”
“Then pick another one.” The Pinkie on the left suggested. “Or, ya know, you could just accept the fact that Doomie is in love with Pinkie and is in no way just using her for food and actually thinks of her as the nicest, sweetest, gorgeous looking mare I have ever seen…” The left Pinkie then coughed. “I-I mean, what he’s ever seen.”
Both Twilight and right Pinkie stared at left Pinkie. “Y-You really think that?” Left Pinkie asked right Pinkie.
The left Pinkie rubbed her arm and blushed. “I-I guess I think...guh...I guess you think that you love me, cause I’m the real pink-”
The Left Pinkie then felt a wave of magic come her way, which made Pinkie turn back into a changeling. Doomie realized this and felt all over his body in hopes that nothing was missing. Twilight blew off the smoke that was coming of her horn and smiled smugly at Doomie. “Nice to know that’s out of the way.”
Doomie continued feeling over his body while Pinkie stepped in front of him. “Twilight, please…”
Twilight stared right at Pinkie. “Pinkie, I’m doing this for the good of all of us, you’ll thank me for getting your mind out of his control.”
Pinkie groaned, right as Doomie started feeling down to the lower parts of his body. “Twilight, for the last time, he’s not brainwashing me!”
“Pinkie, you know I can’t believe what you’re saying when this changeling has you in its power.”
Pinkie dropped her jaw. She was about to try and convince her again, but then something caught the corner of her eye. “Twilight! Look out!”
Twilight rolled her eyes. “Oh really. Is that the best distraction you have, cha-”
*SMACK*
Pinkie held her hooves to her mouth as she watch Twilight get tackled by a group of changelings, where she then tumbled out of sight. “T-Twilight?”
“WHOOoo!” Doomie yelled. “Thank queen! I thought for sure she blasted those away…”
“Blasted what away?” Pinkie asked.
Doomie quickly put his hooves to his chest and blushed. “Oh...uh...n-nothing you need to worry about...well, not yet anyway...let's just keep going.”
Pinkie nodded and the both of them started dodging and weaving through all the chaos that was happening around them, “So, do you know where we’re going yet?” Pinkie said.
Doomie shrugged. “Well, away from this fight, for one thing, then we can...I dunno.”
Pinkie raised an eye. “You okay?”
“You should be asking that to your purple friend.” Doomie looked at Pinkie. “What’s with her? Does she really hate changelings this much? I mean, I know some creatures hate us, but never really this much hate this fast.”
“She’s just really stressed out right now.”
“So stressed that she wants to blow my ba...or..myself off the face of Equestria?”
Pinkie slightly nodded. “I guess so. She must be really mad at that queen.”
Doomie shrugged. “I wouldn’t be surprised, the queen is pretty mean, and pushy, and rude, and bossy...”
Pinkie was surprised. “Really?”
“She’s a ruler; of course she’s gonna act like that.”
“But Princess Celestia doesn’t act like that to her ponies.”
“She doesn't?” Doomie ducked, dodging a changeling that was thrown away by Applejack.
Pinkie shook her head. “Nope, she’s always nice to her subjects.”
Doomie was amazed. “Rulers are nice here?”
“Of course they are, what made you think they weren’t?”
“I dunno, I just thought that if the queen acted like that to us then it’d be the same way here...How is your ruler anyway?”
Pinkie tapped her chin. “Um...last I remember, she was on the floor after your queen blasted her.”
“Oh yeah, that was pretty fun...er...bad, yeah that was really bad of her to do.” Doomie tried holding in his laughs.
Pinkie frowned. “I hope she’s okay.”
Doomie jumped as a changeling slid right under him. “Why don’t you just go check.”
Pinkie craned her head over to the doors. “Cause we’re trying to get the elements, that’s why we’re here in the first place.”
Doomie glanced over at the doors. “Oh yeah, the queen did tell us to fill the room to the brim with changelings.”
“Wait, there’s more in there?” Pinkie said.
Doomie laughed. “Of course there is. We changelings make sure to plan everything ahead, well, on paper, at least.”
“But we need the elements of harmony!”
“But if you did that then the queen’s gonna-”
Pinkie grabbed the sides of Doomie’s face. “Doomie, we can’t let that bug queen win. The princess is counting on us.”
“And the queen is counting on us to protect the elements from you guys.” Doomie then cocked his head. “Why do you need them anyway? We tried using them, but they won’t turn on for some reason.”
Pinkie pulled him closer. “The elements are probably the only way to defeat her.”
Doomie shoved her hooves away. “Hey now! This is my queen we’re talking about here. I know she can be mean at times, but she’s still our ruler.”
Pinkie put her front hooves on each side of her waste. “If she’s so mean, then why don’t you get a new ruler?”
Doomie’s eyes went wide. “W-We can do that?”
Pinkie grabbed his hooves. “Doomie, do you like having a mean ruler?”
Doomie shrugged. “Well, she is really pushy at times, and the other times she’s just really mad, and other times we think she’s just yelling at us for enjoyment, and then she’s…” Doomie then realized what he was saying. “Wow, I guess I don’t really like that.”
Pinkie went nose to nose with him. “You don’t have to be with her if you don’t want to.”
Doomie looked away. “Then who else can I be with?”
Pinkie smiled. “Do you really need to ask?”
Doomie stared into her eyes. “Y-You really want me to be with you?”
“If your life is really this bad, then you can be with me instead.” Pinkie started leaning on him.
“B-but Pinkie, I-Hmmhm!” Doomie’s ear stems went in the air once Pinkie kissed him again. Doomie was about to close his eyes and enjoy the free food again, but then something hit him...which was a ray of magic that blasted his back and out of the fight.
Pinkie fell to the floor and gasped as she watched Doomie fly right out of the crowd. She yelled his name and ran after him, only to be blocked by a see-through magic wall that popped right in front of her. She was about to try again, but then Twilight grabbed her. “Pinkie, are you okay? Did he hurt you?”
Pinkie got out of her friends grip and faced her. “T-Twilight!? Why the hay did you do that!?”
Twilight stepped back. “How are you still under his control? That spell should’ve-”
“How many times do I have to tell you. HE’S NOT CONTROLLING ME!”
Twilight looked at her then to where Doomie was blasted. “B-but...but...t-the spell…” Twilight started trailing off “Why didn’t that snap her out of it?” She thought. “Getting rid of the mind control-er cures the mind control-ie...u-unless”
“Why can’t you just realize it, Twilight?” Pinkie looked away from her and at the purple wall. “Don’t worry Doomie!” She reeled her head back and head-butted the wall, shattering it into pieces. “I’m coming!”
Twilight snapped back into the real world to see Pinkie running out of the crowd. “Pinkie! Wait...oh...What have I don-”
*SMACK*
Twilight felt immediate pain in the back of her head, making her fall to the ground and moan. She was about to get up, but then it happened again, this time with a voice saying. “Did I get it?”
“No Twig,” Another voice echoed. “ya gotta do it three times, just like it worked for that white one, then we’ll move on to the orange one, then to that rainbow haired one.”
“What about the yellow one?”
“Eh, she probably doesn’t even need one.”
Twilight started standing up again. “I-If you hurt my-”
*WHAP*
“She out now?”
Twilight felt her body be flipped over and dragged, she tried opening her eyes, but it was too hard with the pain and the sun shining right at her. “Like a light.” The voice said again. “Come on, let’s get the others.”
"The queen's gonna be so proud!"
