Chapter Five
Queen Chrysalis lowered to the ground as she returned to her home in the Badlands with the helpless child tied up and concealed inside the sack on her back. It was nightfall as Luna’s moon casted an ominous glow over the barren land. The Diamond Dogs burrowed above ground as they trudged behind the changeling queen.
“Neh… my queen, since you have what you wanted, may we get what we want?” Rover asked nervously as he bowed his head.
She sighed softly and turned toward the three “I guess so,” she glared at them “I warn you mutts, if you dare step foot in our home without permission, then you shall meet a tragic end. Do you three mongrels understand me?” She stomped her hoof before them causing them to tremble. She glared daggers at them as they nodded.
“Y-yes your highness,” they said in unison. They turned around and burrowed underground to head back toward Rambling Rock Ridge to go retrieve their guards.
Chrysalis smirked as she watched the three leave, then turned her head back at the wiggling sack on her back “Mm… let’s get you inside you tasty little morsel so I can get a good look at you,” she let out a quiet evil chuckle and turned to trot back into her cave.
While trotting through the cave to get to her living quarters, the changeling drones could sense the fear emanating from the sack on their queen’s back. They fangs dripped with saliva as they carefully followed her, hovering beside the sack.
She turned and smiled evilly at her children eyeing the sack with hunger “Don’t worry my children you shall be fed in time. For now, I think it is time that me and this little one gets acquainted first, “ they nodded and flew off to their own part of the cave.
After arriving in her secluded area of the caverns, Chrysalis levitated the sack over to a corner. She opened it and levitated the trembling child out to set him on the ground. She looked at him tied up as she used her magic to undo the rope around his arms and back, but used it to tie one end around one of his ankles and the other end to a stake that was planted in the corner.
A muffled whimper could be heard from the scared child as his mouth was stuffed with the cloth the Diamond Dogs place in it. Chrysalis smiled evilly at the fear he showed as she used her magic to remove the cloth from Toby’s mouth to reveal his quivering lips. She finally removed the cloth around his eyes that acted like a blind fold.
Toby had his eyes clenched shut afraid to open them as he spoke with fear “W-w-whose there?”
A soft cackle could be heard in the cave “Oh, my dear sweet child, you can open your eyes,” Chrysalis spoke with a sly mischievous tone. She laid down on all four legs as she placed her fore hooves on each side of him.
He carefully opened his eyes to look up into her into her glaring green eyes “AAHH!” He crawled backwards up against the wall of the cave and curled his kneed up to his chest hugging them close “W-who are you and w-where am I?” He whimpered.
She grinned wider as she reached up to stroke at the top of his head as he shook under her hoof “My, aren’t just a delectable looking young one. May I introduce myself, I am the Queen of the Changelings, I am Queen Chrysalis,” she gave a low chuckle. “And you my dear child are here at my home in the Badlands,” she gave him an evil smile.
Tears were started to leak from the corners of his eyes as he looked up at her “P-please Q-Queen Chrysalis let me go. I want my Momma,” he lowered his head into his lap and shuddered with sobs.
She continued to stroke the top of his head down his back feeling him shake, but it made her grin even wider. “I am afraid I can’t do that little one,” she leaned her head close to him and sniffed inhaling in his fear, yet salivating at the strength of his love.
He slowly raised his head up as he allowed his tears to flow “W-w-why? I want my MOMMA!” He wailed but suddenly went silent and trembled more as she stood up stomping her hoof right next to him.
“Silence you little bug!” She glared down at him and inhaled deeply then exhaled “Now then, you can’t leave my dear child, because I need you to help me and my children become strong again,” she let out an evil chuckle.
He swallowed nervously as he looked way up at her “W-what do you mean y-you need me? I-I don’t have anything I could give you,” he timidly spoke.
She gave a soft smile “Oh, but of course you do little one,” she chuckled mischievously. “You see my dear child, we changelings feed off the love of ponies with hearts of purity and harmony,” she used a fore hoof to poke roughly at his chest causing him to yelp “Just like you my tasty little morsel.”
He trembled even more at what she just said, but buried his head back in his lap shuddering harder with sobs unable to say anything.
She let out a loud cackle “Now, now my dear child, I promise you it won’t hurt... much,” she chuckled lowly. She turned to trot to the center of room she slept in the cave and let out a yawn “For now though, I am going to go to bed. I had such a long exhausting day, “she laid down on a large rock that was used as her bed and stretched out both sets of legs before tucking them underneath her. She glared at the scared child “Goodnight my tasty little one. Tomorrow the feast shall begin,” she let out one more chuckle before laying her head on her fore hooves and falling asleep.
Toby sat there with his knees curled up to his chest for a few minutes before laying down on the cold hard ground curling up into a ball. He shivered and felt his tears flow down his cheeks “I miss Momma,” he thought to himself as he cried himself to sleep.
In the Golden Oaks Library Twilight and the others including the CMC, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Big Mac, except for Fluttershy were all asleep. Fluttershy was outside on the top balcony looking up at Luna’s moon with tears stinging her eyes.
“Oh my precious little Toby, Momma misses you so much,” she let out a deep sigh and lowered her head allowing a tear to fall onto the floor staining the wood. She stomped her hoof in anger as she heard hoof steps approach behind her.
“Fluttershy,” the voice of Twilight was heard as she trotted up beside Fluttershy and sat down on her haunches. She reached up a wing to lay over her back and tried to look into her eyes “Fluttershy, are you okay?”
Fluttershy sighed heavily as she opened her tear stained eyes and looked at Twilight “No Twilight, I am not okay,” she said with frustration as she gritted her teeth. “That monster has my baby boy, and we are just sitting here waiting on a response from Princess Celestia,” she choked back her sobs and turned her head as more tears started to flow.
Twilight frowned at her friend and started to rub at her back with a wing “Fluttershy, I understand that you are angry, but I promise we will find a way to get Toby back,” she sighed deeply. “But we have to wait on what Celestia has to tell us what to do. You heard the fillies tell you that if we try to do something hasty, Chrysalis vowed to hurt Toby worse than she originally planned.”
Fluttershy let out a deep sigh and solemnly nodded her head “I know Twilight, but I am scared for Toby. What if she hurts him real bad without us even trying to attempt something, huh?” She asked between sobs with her mouth quivering.
Twilight frowned as she sighed deeply “I promise you Fluttershy, we will get to him before that happens,” she thought for a minute. “In the morning, before Princess Celestia sends her response, we will pay a visit to Rambling Rock Ridge and get those Diamond Dogs. I am sure they will know where Chrysalis is hiding,” she gave a light and reassuring smile.
Fluttershy sighed deeply and looked up at Luna’s moon as it reflected in her tear stained eyes “I hope you are right Twilight,” she closed her eyes and placed a hoof over her heart “Please be safe Toby, Momma loves you,” she softly whispered as Twilight gave her a soft smile and rubbed at her back with a wing as she looked up at Luna’s moon as well.
She sighed softly and looked over to Fluttershy “C’mon Fluttershy, let’s go to bed. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow,” she lifted her wing off Fluttershy’s back as she motioned for her to follow. Fluttershy nodded as she sniffled.
She thought to herself as she trotted back into the library “I promise my baby boy, we will save you. Be strong Toby,” she allowed the remainder of her tears to shed as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When flutters is sad, all of us are sad....
we all feel like crap if shes sad...
and theres going to be so much rage if flutters gets her hooves on those dogs.
I can feel the flutterrage building.
Good job on this chapter.
am i the only one who imagined both princess luna and celestia spewing fire from their mouths at how pissed they must be XD
DAMN! I would like it to jump in the screen, hug Fluttershy, hit Chryssalis in the Face and Save Toby. HOW IS WITH ME?
You know I think Changelings are one of the few species in fiction that ought to be wiped out completely and utterly. They are a parasitic force that rely on the love ponies feel for others to survive. This is either a case of raw evil or Blue vs. Orange morality.
What is Blue and Orange morality? Well according to TV Tropes (a website devoted to defining and showcasing examples of tropes used in story telling) we have this description.
The strangest of these characters are those who espouse Blue And Orange Morality. These characters have a moral framework that is so utterly alien and foreign to human experience that we can't peg them as good or evil. They aren't a Chaotic Neutral Unfettered, though they may seem to act terrifyingly randomly; nor are they necessarily a Lawful Neutral Fettered, because our and their understanding of 'law' as a concept may not even be equivalent. There might be a logic behind their actions, it's just that they operate with entirely different sets of values and premises with which to draw their conclusions. It's also worth noting that such cultures are just as likely to be something we'd find appalling, as they are to be something we'd find benign and/or weird. They may also find us appalling, benign, or weird even if we don't see them that way.
For them love is food rather than an emotion, not to mention the deeper impacts of that particular emotion.
In any case this leaves no room for negotiation with them as feeding off of love is a biological need, meaning that unless they can find some new food source, the only way Equestria will be safe from them is their total and complete destruction. The Elements of Harmony would do no good, at best the Changeling's would probably now comprehend their actions, but all that would do is drive them into a mental crisis...
*Goes to purge mind of depressing assessment*
I wonder how fluttershy will be when she explodes from rage?? Poor toby :(
I finally caught up and I tell you man you never cease to make me feel emotion. Something I severely lack at the moment. Great chapter as always.
Make it interesting and make Toby care about the common welfare of the changelings! That way they can be all happy!
Chris è troppo furba e troppo forte perchè Celesia possa fare qualcosa!
Comunque a meno di un miracolo Toby è già sotto terra
damned that chrysalis. she's freaken cold for even think of hurting toby. awesome chapter by the way man
2944495
Translation:
Chris is too much smart and strong for be stopped by Celestia !
By the way, unless a Deus Ex Machina is deployed, Toby is done for the good.
I also agree with the latter statement
shit's starting to get real!
2943325 Oh, yes I am sad when Fluttershy is sad
, and there will be rage in her eyes when the Diamond Dogs faces them.
2943327 Oh, indeed, it is building up very slowly. Those Diamond Dogs will learn that you never, never mess with a mother's son.
2943599 Oh, don't worry, they are.
2943690 Thank you my friend, and soon that rage will reach 100%
2943709 Oh, yes.
2943852 I think all want to do that my friend. Poor Toby.
2943870 I can agree, because Changelings don't care who they feed love off of, just as long as they get strong.
2944008 Oh, I can assure you it won't be pretty when she explodes.
2944269 Thank you always my friend, and I am glad I am able to give you emotion. Just keep being you my friend, and being the great man that you are, although we haven't met in real life, but I feel like I have known you for all my life.
2944305 That is very interesting, I will think about that, and how I could let him care for Chrysalis and the Changelings.
2944495>>2944548 That is very true. She has the mind of a true conniving villain.
2944547 Indeed she is cold-hearted
, and thank you always my friend. 
2944604 You better believe it.
"Captain, the righteous fury of Fluttershy, The Princesses, and Toby's entire family is building to unprecedented levels! There's going to be so much power!"
I wonder if this situation calls for a certain reformed "chaotic" secret weapon?
2944619 I don't know about being a great man
... But yes I feel like I have known you forever as well. 
Chrysalis is going to get it.
That bug is going to be sorry!
2944654 You never know, it might.
Indeed, the anger will slowly build up in each of them, especially Fluttershy, well it already is. 
2944659 Thank you my friend, and yes you are a great man.
2944764 Indeed she is, so she better watch out.
2944872 Lol.. indeed.
2944697 Thank you very much.
2944619 it would go on the lines of him caring about the changelings while she's confused and doesn't get why Toby is doing this.
So... Chrysalis thought it would be a good idea to piss off the elements of harmony and two princesses that can move the sun and moon.
Yeah, that was a good idea *insert sarcastic voice here*
Amazing as always Poetic
2945666 I like that idea, thank you. Then she could ask him why maybe why is he showing them love even though they are being cruel to him. Thank you for that idea.
2946480 Thank you my friend. Well, Chrysalis might seem dumb to upsetting the Elements and the princesses, but she can be clever too.
2946494 you can even make it to were he has an infinite amount of love because he lived with fluttershy!
2946521 Aw.. that is another great idea. Thank you very much always.
2946524 when some humans come to equestria, they meet chrysalis. when they meet chrysalis, they can fall in love. When they fall in love they do whatever it takes to work things out. When they do what ever it takes to work out, the human gives her his literal love! He doesn't care as long as she is happy.....TRUE LOVE!
Uh oh, Flutty rage has come
Fluttershy, shy, timid, cute, a great friend and care giver for animals, but make her mad and kidnap her son,
LOOK OUT!!
First the dogs carried Toby from the Everfree to the Badlands, then Chrysalis had him.
The CMC forgot to mention the diamond dogs and chrysalis's threat.
I love this story, but I also want to point these things out. Please don't be mad.
