//------------------------------// // The invasion // Story: legion // by The oracle //------------------------------// As the pair walked in to the chamber, three figures walked up to them. One of the figures ran up to them and yelled " Hi guys!" Legion winced and said " Claptrap, you don't need to yell. We are standing right next to you." He said " Yeah, but you guys were talking and i wanted to make sure you could hear me." Legion replied " Well, we can hear." As they walked he asked,"Anybody know what we are having today?" They walked over to a table with a cocoon hanging over it. Dovakhin replied " No, we were waiting for you two. What was taking you guys so long?" He suddenly had a sly smirk on his face. " Were you two having 'fun'?" Legion's face turned red and he started sputtering in an angry manner. Finally he calmed down enough to where he could say " No! I just had to help glimmer put the rest of the eggs in the nest!" Dovakhin said" I only ask because you were late getting here, and you happen to be arriving with mangle, one of our more attractive friends." Mangle rolled her eyes and said " I bet you have said that to every mare you have met dovakhin. You need new pickup lines." Suddenly, they heard a muffled boom. Changlings allover the hive stopped talking and perked up their ears and listened. The other silent figure said, " I'm not the only one who heard that, right?" Legion said " No wolf. I think we all heard that." Suddenly a loud cracking sound and a storm of earth ponies equipped with swords, spears, and golden armour rushed in. As the changlings got over the inital shock, they charged to meet the enemy. As he ran to battle, he saw that his friends were charging with him. He saw a unicorn guard trying to free a pony from a cocoon. He rammed into him and started hitting him with his front hooves. Out of the corner of his eye, hew saw a Pegasus charging him with a spear. He turned but the tip of it caught his eyelid. He grunted in pain and used his hoove to unsuccessfully wipe the blood out of his eye. As he turned to face the snarling guard, he saw a warrior run into the Pegasus and bite his neck. After the body stopped moving, he turned to legion and snarled, " Leave drone. Your kind weren't meant for battle." He suddenly was hit in the back by a ray of white light. As he grunted in pain, he ran towards the source. Legion turned in the opposite direction and ran for his life.
