"UGH what happened, where am I, and why do I have a massive headache?" Twilight asked waking up in a white bed in peach colored room.
"Your in the hospital princesses Twilight with the other princesses let me just tell you friends your awake."
"Thank you Doctor." Twilight watched the dark brown pony in a lab coat left the room to be replaced by her friends and brother rushing in a few seconds later followed by Dramize rubbing the back of his head and Larverida giggling into her hand.
"Hey Twilight how are you felling?" Asked Applejack for everyone
"Like I beat Rainbow in a hard cider drinking contest, what happened?"
"Well you four thought you could get read on the king's power through his nobles so you challenged Dramize." Logic said phasing into the room. "At least that's what I was told."
"Let me guess we lost." Cadence said sitting up
"Lost is to light of a word you got destroyed and lost a day because of it." Larverida said watching everypony in the room.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked rubbing her head to dull the pain.
"Dullahan had to come in and repair most of Your Queen of heart's organs and bones then fix your and the night queen's skulls while fixing her and the day queen's cracked ribs and after that three of you were still out so your sun set on your exploits for that past."
"Yeah sorry about that I got a little carried away." Dramize said getting the evil eye from Shining Armor.
"Ok so what now?" Luna asked holding her head.
"Now you three can leave after a few more test." The Doctor from earlier said poking his head in for a second.
"And after that you might want to consider you next move because I tell you three what I told Celestia all seven nobles are about on the same level but it takes all seven of us to have a chance to beat Absolute so think of your next moves carefully." Dramize said completely strait crossing his arms.
"Your kidding us." Cadence said hoping he was kidding.
"I wish I was." Dramize started to walk toward the window opening it and perching followed be Fluttershy. "Well if you need me I'm going to be helping Fluttershy with her animals see yea." Dramize leapt spreading his wing with Fluttershy behind him both heading to her cottage.
"Well I'm gone to I caught one of the manticores here and I'm going to cut it open and see how it works see yea." Logic phase out of the room leaving just as Celestia enter the room with a depressed look on her face.
"Princess is everything ok?" Shining asked touching Celestia's shoulder.
"I just don't know what to do. How can we possibly beat Absolute no one is a match for him."
"I'm a match for him." everyone turned to Larverida who had a vespin next to pouring her black tea from a oriental style jade teapot. "We fight to a stand still all the time." Larverida was taking sips of her tea completely unfazed by the stares of shock she was getting.
"How?"
"Well as you probably figured we vespin were changelings at some point but living in chaos lands and the chaos magic forced us to adapt and each new generation made drastic changes to our biology. "
"So you evolved how does that answer our question?"
"Fine I will show you." Larverida got up and held out her left arm which turn into a blade which she used to cut a hole in the wall. "We lost the ability to disguise our selves but we gained the ability turn shape shift our limbs and we can absorb matter though our feet to regenerate up to a certain point. Also I know all of his moves."
"Then can you help us?"
"No."
"WHY?!"
"I want to see you lose. Your defeat by Dramize's hands was entertaining and besides what's in it for me? but then again theirs nothing you could offer me in anyway."
"How about love?" Cadence offered trying at the inner changeling.
"Please vespin don't need love to survive the chaos magic overrode that curse after the third generation along with our ability to disguise."
"Please we can't just allow Absolute to do what he want." Twilight said.
"Again you fortune doesn't align with mine. More tea." Another vespin drone walked in carrying a teapot carved from diamond before pouring Larverida another cup and taking the jade teapot from the first vespin drone. Larverida was about to take a sip of her tea when another vespin drone stepped in carrying a letter and a sandwich filled with a red jelly on a emerald platter. Larverida took her sip then open the letter. "Well would you look at that. Get up we have a lot of work to do."
"What?" The ponies in the room said at once.
"That was Absolute he want a challenging fight so he asked me to help now come along we don't have time to waste." Larverida snapped her fingers and four vespin walked in grabbed the four alicorns and left followed Larverida. "This is going to be fun."
Meanwhile in the savage archipelago.
"I hope Larverida got my message I don't want a boring fight." Absolute said to him self as he sat on the corpses of eight giant dragons cleaning his glittering black katana before a wingless drake appeared out to the forest and charged at Absolute who just held out his blade to the left and swung a wave of darkness came from tip and pasted through the drake. The drake slowed before falling over dead. "Well I'm bored of this island time to move to the next."
