//------------------------------// // The Last Stand Finale // Story: I am Your Friend or Foe // by ZeroPony55 //------------------------------// A few days past after the prison break. Raiden and the other changelings gather food for themselves while Guard and Sunny upgrades Raiden's house without letting anypony notice the house is improving, which is impressive when there right next to town hall. Only Raiden stay as himself while the other changelings keeps switching disguises. Raiden, Sunny, and Guard decide to have a break at a cafe nearby. As they enjoy their meal, Twilight came into view of Twilight. She has a look of angry and by how she leaves an fiery trial behind her, she means business. "You're the one free all the changelings!" Twilight shouts as she's getting a trap spell ready. "What no I didn't" Raiden lie "and where's your proof?" "You weren't at your house when I visit on that said night." "Raiden and I went for a late night jogging" Sunny lie. "Oh? Then how come the bunch of other ponies behind you then? Raiden and Sunny were hesitant to speak, lucky for them Guard spoke up. "They we're ponies who were separate by their guards at night. Lucky for them they brought their Id with them so I can confirm that there aren't changelings." Twilight didn't say anything for a while, she then spoke up. "Fine, but don't think your out of the fire just yet" she says as she walks away. "Well... maybe we should be going now" Raiden suggest. No pony disagree, and with that, they left the cafe. They decide to get to Raiden's place to avoid anypony confronting them. Too bad for them screaming was heard and even though it would be bad for them to see anypony. However it would best worst if they didn't response. So they head to where the screaming was at. In a dark alleyway in Ponyville. They found an fainted mare and changeling Lily. "What happen here?" Raiden ask. "I-I needed to rest for a bit and I-I must have undo my form while I slept." "Well turn back and let's hope she doesn't remember anything" Sunny order Lily. Lily changes as the mare wakes up. She quickly eyes Lily and slowly makes her way to the two guards. "That pony's a changeling" she quietly says to Guard. "Really well there's one way to find out" Guard went over to Lily "do you have any idea on you?" To Guard's surprise Lily did pull out some ID. "Lily Rain... well seems real, sorry to bother you" Guard then waves Lily off. "But... but...-" the mare got interrupted by Guard. "Miss, you ok? You must be paranoid because of the high alert seeing how you're by yourself and it isn't safe to be without a guard at these times" Guard say escorting her out of the area "I'm an visitor so I'm staying-" is all that Raiden could hear. "Well that happen" he says as they left the alleyway. As they walk out the same mare from before comes back. "What did yo-" is all of what Raiden say as he gets uppercut. Sunny quickly pin the mare to the ground after she uppercut Raiden. "What the heck-" Guard comes over and tackles Sunny. "Guard! What's wrong with you?" Guard didn't answer as he charge at Sunny. Raiden push Sunny out of the way as well as dodging Guard. "Those two are changelings!" Raiden inform. "Really now" Sunny speak as she dodge mare "I guess I can do this!" she then beats the fake mare into submission. Raiden charge at the fake Guard only to be pin down and pummel. Sunny just watch Raiden as he get pummel. "Don't just stand there. Help me!" Raiden struggle to break free of opponent. Sunny assist Raiden by just knotting out the changeling. "How could you have troubles with that?" she ask pointing at the unconscious changeling. "Shut up... aren't you suppose do be guarding me?" "Yeah but I can't help it if you pick fights." "Fair enough" Sunny help Raiden up "so where do you think they came from?" "You're the changeling expect here. You figure it out." "Well seeing how they out right attacking. I guessing they are invading Ponyville." "Yeah I figure as much since there is a horde of clones over there" Sunny point at the horde of changelings that look like the same pony. "Weird, why would they all look the same though? "Well if the real pony is in that horde then we can't just beat everypony wildly now can we?" Yeah well I can tell the difference. Follow my lead" Raiden order as he charge against the horde. Sunny follow Raiden's lead but really it's him getting beat up while she does most but not all the work. Soon the changelings back off which confuse Sunny a bit. "Why are they retreating?" Sunny ask. "Because I told them to" a voice that came behind them. Raiden and Sunny jump back at the voice behind them, to discover Chrysalis is behind them. Raiden and Sunny jump a bit before facing her. "What are you doing here, Chysalis?" Raiden ask. "Isn't it clear. I'm trying to take over Ponyville." "But why did you disconnect me from the hive?" "Because I needed to." "What? How does that make any sense?" Sunny ask. "Well I guess I can tell you simple minded ponies." "Watch it, keep talking like that and you be down before you know it." "Yeah I'm so scared" Chrysalis says sarcastically "but anyways my plans simple. Wait a few days until Raiden frees the other changelings then I invade." "Again, how does that make any sense?" Sunny ask. Raiden suddenly realize it. "To make the other guards tired from seaching for the escape changelings." "Yeah the only thing I need was a friendly class changeling to help with this plan. Personally I would have hope for a more loyal changeling that does not befriend an pony." "That's your own mistake and it'll be the greatest mistake you ever made, Chrysalis." "Challenging me, are we? You're just a drone. What's make you think you can stand against me?" "I'm not just a drone, Chrysalis. I'm Raiden, a changeling that better then his former queen." "Impressive come back, I'll give you that. But enough talking and face." Raiden did the one thing he knows best. Charging at the enemy, head first and hope for the best. Of course this fails since Chrysalis puts a small shield around her. "Did you really think that would work?" "I was hoping so." "Males, brainless as always." "I beg to disagree." "And why's that?" "Surprise attack!" Sunny calls out from behind Chrysalis. Chrysalis quickly puts up another shield. "You really shout out sneak up attacks you fo-" Chysalis is then pin by Guard who join the fray. "Third times the charm, right?" Guard then place an magic restrainer on Chysalis "that should hold you. "Fools release me or-" Chysalis says before her mouth is cover by Sunny. "Shut up, you're in no condition to pull any threats." "Yeup, and once I have control of your hive mind I can call of the army" Raiden note. "Really you can do that?" Guard asks. "Yeup, the one who takes over the hive mind is shown respect." It didn't take that long for Raiden to take over the hive mind. He quickly order the invading changelings to cease and return to the hive. Once they return, Raiden made every changeling their own pony character; so they can live in peace. Equestria sooner or later lifted the emergency and everypony live with the unknown changelings.
