Ponyville was having a nice calm day nothing was going on everything was peaceful and calm but the ponies couldn't shake this feeling of unease no matter how hard they tried and it didn't help when the four princesses showed up in town unexpectedly with the rest of the main 6 as they carried the still sleeping Fluttershy each with worry on their faces and a ton of book and the royal guard with shinning armor leading them in toe as they entered friendship castle.
"So what's our game plan?" Asked Rainbow as she sat on the floor.
"First things first we need to find the kirin." Celestia said as Spike walked in with two pots one with lemon tea and the other with hot coffee.
"We need to pick up our little sisters we let them spend the night." Rarity said pouring her self a cup of tea and taking a sip as Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's eyes went wide.
"Oh that's right we just left them well we might as well all go since that would be the first place they would go." Twilight said getting up.
"And that place would be?" Asked Luna.
"Dramize's house." Then the whole castle shook causing everypony in castle to jump.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Asked Applejack as she adjusted her Stetson.
"An earthquake?" Rarity said looking spike who was catching falling books.
"In ponyville not possible sillies, we live on an tectonic plate." Pinkie answered giggling getting a surprised look from everypony around her. "What you work on a rock farm long enough you learn how sense these things."
"Then what could that have been?" Cadence wondered out loud as the castle shook again.
"Pinkie what's going on?" Twilight asked catching a few more books with her magic.
"Hold on." Pinkie ran out side as another tremor it forcing the other ponies to follow. Stopped at the center of town where a bunch of ponies were running for cover from falling objects. Pinkie closed her eyes and did something nopony thought they would ever see in their lifetime she stood absolutely still for five minutes before taking a deep breath and punching the ground as hard as she could leaving the imprint of her fist in the now cracked stone.
"PINKIE WHY WOULD YOU?!" Cadence said as she healed pinkies bleeding hand.
"Shhh. three miles down something is creating a large chamber under ponyville."
"How large?" Asked Celestia.
"The entire town large and what ever they are there're a lot of them."
"Changelings? I mean they had an underground hive right?" Rainbow said psyching her self up for a fight.
"They do but It can't be them." Said Twilight
"How do you know?"
"After the invasion I did some digging and found out they can secrete an acid like substance that allows them to cut through hard rocks and earth like they were made of butter."
"But this is different almost like drilling. Maybe its the kirin? Dramize do you know?" Said Pinkie.
"No it's not us I just finished a meeting on how to expand ponyville for all of us." Dramize said from behind the group causing them except for Pinkie to jump.
"Dramize when did you get here?" Twilight said turning to face him.
"When pinkie used her fist to read the vibrations so you got the number."
"No I didn't I'm a bit rusty at it."
"Well then let me give it a try." Dramize got into Pinkies spot before her punched the ground so hard that the others felt the impact and his fist made a small crater. "Wow they followed us here I guess they really couldn't live without us. Sorry girls I got to tell the king we been invaded." Dramize jumped up flew away as fast as he could with a smile on his face.
Celestia flew up to catch Dramize. "What do you mean invaded?" She asked worried out of her mind.
"Don't worry about it just relax you'll leave your self in a daze." At that exact moment Dramize used his heat haze to vanish diving into the trees and leaving Celestia to chase an illusion.
Meanwhile Twilight had teleported the others to the now kirin base where they saw Tempest leaning against the wall next to the door.
"Sup all what goes on?" Tempest said biting into a large ruby like it was an apple.
"We need to talk to Dramize their is a question we need to ask him." Answered Rarity as she hungrily eyed the ruby
"Well he's flying in right now." The Group turned around and at that moment they learned how good Dramize was at flying as he got closer coming in under the tree line without so much as disturbing a single leaf on any of the trees. "Showing off double d." Tempest said with smirk on his face.
Dramize landed giving tempest a death glare "You know I hate my last name."
"That I do, and."
"I hate you so much."
"I love you to." Tempest ran inside dodging a fire ball Dramize threw at him.
"So girls you finally remembered your charges."
"Yes but that's not the only reason were here, we have some questions to ask you. Like where is princess Celestia? Twilight said stepping up to Dramize.
"Princess Celestia? Oh you mean the white alicorn she's chasing a illusion of me I wonder when she'll figure that out."
"Ok then now what did you mean by invaded?"
"Well if what's under Ponyville is what I think it is then its out of you league. So don't worry about it. Now let me ask a question where is Pinkie Pie?"
"She's right.... right... where did Pinkie go? Dramize did you see where she went?" Twilight asked as the group looked around them.
"Hey Dramize have you seen Zerker it's time to brush his fur and I can't find him anywhere." Tempest said bursting out the front doors of the kirin base.
"It's not my problem what happens to your bond beast or Pinkie Pie but I did see them both exiting the base as I approached and from the direction they were going and what I saw on my way here I know where they are going. But whole heartedly I don't care what they do so I'm going have you guys figure out what happened good luck. Dramize activated heat haze again making copies of himself that scattered into the Everfree. "So what are you going to do, figure out were Pinkie went. or case me for a sure answer It's your choice."
Meanwhile Pinkie was following her trademark sense to the Pony that was spying on them she was running deep into a dense patch of the Everfree with Zerker on her sholders they found a large tunnel where eerie clicking were coming from. Pinkie could feel that the spy was in there but she could also feel something else a large amount of uncertainty so much so that for the first time ever Pinkie wasn't sure she could trust her own sense.
"What do think I should do Zerker?" Pinkie asked petting the ferret on her shoulders. Zerker nuzzled her cheek telling her to trust herself. "You know I think I understood that hmm... Maybe Fluttershy is rubbing off on me. anyway lets go." Pinkie pulled out a flashlight out of her mane and started down the tunnel following her Pinkie Sense where ever it would take her and after a few minutes of walking and to occasional running form a scary roar Pinkie came across a small gold orb which she put in her hair before continuing on her way until she heard hoofsteps and hid behind a corner before turning to see a yellow glow coming from a weird weird creature, it looked like a changeling but it had moth wings, long white fur around it's neck, segmented antenna with large hooks at the ends on its head as well as a small horn a wasp tail complete with stinger. Their yellow stripes glow softly as pinkie saw something else a familiar looking changeling being escorted by them. "Chrysalis what is she doing here." Pinkie whispered to her self as she followed the group when they passed her.
"Hurry up I want to meet with your queen you worthless drones." Chrysalis said as she used her connection to her hive to call her guards and check their positions. After a bit They found them selves in the large chamber filled with orbs and honeycombs where they saw the queen sitting in the middle but unlike her drone who were wearing butler suits she was wearing a Victorian era like yellow dress with black stripes which complimented her hour glass figure and behind her black crown was long flowing blonde mane which seem to glow in the soft light. Chrysalis walked away from her escorts all eyes on her as she walked up to the throne.
"Ah dull simple tones echo in shadow hues you have entered the hive of the Vespin queen of hearts so what brings you to the realm of the queen of spades." Said the queen as looked at Chrysalis who was completely confused.
"Ummm... yes what brings me here is to create a bridge between our two races so we may conquer this land and take what we want."
"The queen of hearts calls for pouring of the vital wine and to reap from the fields of the many to have for the fields of the one. This an enjoyable prospect for those who dig."
