"Oh buck you I need more overlords!" Chryssy shouted at the screen, her telekinetic glow rapping on the keyboard and moving around the mouse frantically. "Aww, did someling supply block themselves again?" came her marefiend's voice over the headset. "Don't worry, let me help you out with that." As she heard that, Chrysalis saw a massive army approaching hers. The enemy's units were more expensive, but were individually stronger and worse, it seemed Twilight was fielding Colossi, game units specifically designed to counter her large swarm of weaker, individual units. How had she known?! And where were the Colossi coming from? The changeling - the game's interpretation anyway - she'd inserted in Twilight's base hadn't seen any of the buildings that Colossi required to be produced. She gritted her fangs and began moving the mouse frantically, ordering her various units to perform various actions, but it was no good. Twilight had gotten the jump on her, and the Queen's entire army was rent asunder while barely destroying half of Twilight's. The enemy units, clad in golden armor, moved into her base, destroying the organic structures easily as reinforcements streamed in. Chrysalis didn't surrender, obviously. She tried to amass units for one last push, but they too were destroyed. She sent her worker units to escape and perhaps start a base elsewhere, but Twilight's air units tracked them down to the last. As the army started beating down her central Hive, Chrysalis asked, "How do you even have Colossi? You don't have a robotics bay!" "Yes I do," she said smugly. "I just didn't keep it near my base. Also, I had an observer over yours for a long time." She cursed in Hemipid. Her Hive was dead, and the small minions it created were easily mopped up. Twilight turned her army to her two remaining, defenseless Extractor structures. "Cheer up Chryssy!" the damn pony said, far too smug. "You'll get out of Wood League sometime." That's not even a league! It doesn't go below Bronze! she raged internally. Externally, all she muttered was an indignant "Hmmph!" as the You Lose screen came up. "I hate this game."
