The Zerg of Equestria

by Marsara


Interlude: Shadows come in many sizes...

{??? First POV}

I flew across the land too get to the Badlands. I had too make sure Chrysalis joined Marsara or Marsara may not survive the trials ahead of her.

I saw the Badlands coming into view and slowed down and started looking for the mountain I knew all too well. The Badlands looked worse than ever before, it looked like it went through a drought and never recovered. The ground was a light brown, what little plants left were a pure brown, the ground itself was cracked from how dry it was. Then I finally saw the mountain I was looking for. The mountain was the home of a species of bug ponies called, Changelings with Chrysalis as their leader. I flew to a flat ledge and saw the entrance to the Changeling Hive guarded by a pair of Changelings. I flew up to them and as I got closer they seemed too recognize who I was, when I got close enough I told them “I need too speak with Chrysalis.”

“W- we will es- escort you t- to her, E- Emperor” Stuttered one of the Changelings, trying not to show any fear. We walked into the Hive which looked like the inside of an Ant hill with green goop and parts of the wall and roof glowed green. As soon as any Drone saw me they stopped what they were doing and got out of the way, seeming to be afraid of me. After awhile we arrived at a set of double doors with six Changeling Elite guards guarding the way into the throne room, they looked shocked that I was here.

“Emperor, why ha- have you come here?” Asked one of the Changelings.

“I have come to speak with Chrysalis.” I told them, they immediately opened the doors and let me through. I flew in alone and they closed the doors behind me. That's when I saw her, Queen Chrysalis, sitting on her throne conversing with one of her Under-Queens, which is Chrysalis’s physical voice for her Drones. I approached her.

“Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings. And here I thought you had died seeing as how you failed your mission to keep Celestia’s attention away from Marsara.” I said, bringing my presence to her attention. She looked towards me and her pupils shrunk to the size of dots.

“Em- Emperor! I- I tried Emperor but I did not have the re- resources to continue after the attack on Canterlot.”

“I do not care, you still failed. But I am a forgiving creature. I am giving you a second chance as long as you complete a new task.”

“Tha- thank you, Emperor!” She said like she just dodged a nuke. “What is i- it?”

“I want you too join back with Marsara, but do not let her know who you really are or she will kill you on the spot.”

“W- why would she?! We h- have done nothing against her!”

“Because she is going through hard times and remembering how you abandoned her to make this pitiful Swarm would make her kill the nearest none Zerg. That being you for you yourself are going alone too join her. When you do join her you may come back to this Hive.”

“Okay th- then, Emperor.” She said. “A- anything else?”

“Yes. I need you too send out a message to all other Changelings across the multiverse. Tell them that their is a new Zerg Queen and that she is the ruler over both Zerg and Changeling. Tell them that they are too help any Displaced or they will feel the wrath of Broodmother Marsara.”

“As y- you wish, Emperor.”

And with that I opened a portal back to my own Equestria and left.


{Chrysalis POV}

As soon as Psi Splitter left it felt like a hundred pounds were lifted off my back and I let out a sigh of relief. ‘I wish I didn’t have to do as he said but if I didn’t he would kill both me and my whole Swarm.‘ I thought. I turned towards the Changeling I was talking to earlier. “Bring the Hivemind enhancer.” I told her.

“As you wish, my Queen.” She said, she then left to get it. I used the time she was gone to ponder about Psi Splitter.

‘He's the most powerful thing in this dimension, even though he looks like a shadow crushed into a ball, and chooses to help Marsara instead of somepony like Celestia or Cadence.’ I thought. ‘He could destroy Equestria just by telling every species to go to war with each other but decides to help a Zerg Broodmother protect the Ponies. I don’t think I will ever understand him but he knows what he’s doing.’ “Here it is, my Queen.” I came out of my thoughts and thanked her. “It is no trouble, my Queen.” And with that she left.

The enhancer looked like a big slime covered tree made of chitin. I used the Hivemind to start the broadcast. “To all other Changeling Queens across the multiverse. There's a new Queen of the Zerg and Changelings, her name is Broodmother Marsara. To any Changeling Queens who hear this you are to help any Displaced. If you do not you will have to explain to Broodmother Marsara and her Swarm why you didn’t.” With that I ended the broadcast and had some nearby Changelings take it away. ‘Now to get to Marsara and hope she allows my Swarm to rejoin her’s’ I thought. “Septum!” I called. a few moments later she walked in through the set of doors.

“What is it, my Queen?” She asked.

“I need to go to Marsara and make an alliance with her and I am putting you in charge of the Swarm while I’m gone.” I told her.

“Why would you go back to Marsara?” She asked. “I thought you wanted nothing to do with her.”

“The Emperor came and told me that we need to help Marsara.”

“The E- Emperor?” She stuttered. “But he’s the one who had us evolve this way instead of like normal Changelings and had us break away from Marsara in the first place.”

“I know and I don’t know why he wants us to rejoin Marsara, but he has his reasons.”

"Alright then, my Queen. I will watch over the Hive while you're gone."

"Thank you, Septum." And with that I got up from my throng and walked out the set of doors and walked all the way out onto a ledge took off into the sky and started heading towards Canterlot knowing Marsara would be somewhere near it.

{Five hours later}

I was over the Everfree forest when I felt something across the Hivemind coming from the forest. "I Don't know how or why the Protoss are here but we will destroy them!" A voice basically shouted across the Hivemind.

"As you wish, Marsara." Said a much more calm voice I recognized as Karshra. Meaning the other voice must have been Marsara since Karshra doesn't obey anything other than her.

I flew towards where the voices felt like they were coming from. 'Time too see what Marsara has done this time' I thought.
