The Life of a Wanted Changeling (Comment Driven Story)

by Down with Chrysalis

[FIXED] Episode 35: I REALLY HATE THE WOODS!!

It suddenly dawns on you that you just stood up to (and probably pissed off) the ruling circle (or square in this case) of Equestria! (To keep continuity, the royals don't know that the hooded figure is a changeling and even Princess Cadance now highly doubts that the black-hooded figure was really Bugze the changeling)

While wondering what to do next, a realization hits you like a rocket-powered sledgehammer to the nuts (long story involving memories that you DON'T want to recall)! You practically spat in the face of both of the sun-and-moon-controlling princesses as well as Cadance's husband! You even doubt that Cadance believes that that was you. The whole 'wearing a faceless hood' and 'threatening to beat them all to a bloody pulp if you touch my daughter' thing probably didn't help matters much either. So, you do what any self-respecting creature would do if they just realized that...

YOU FREAK THE HAY OUT!

"OH MY LUNA WHAT HAVE I DONE! I JUST BECAME ENEMIES WITH THE TWO OF THE MOST POWERFUL CREATURES ON THE PLANET! BUCK THE 'DUNGEON WITH ENDLESS HOURS OF WATCHING MY LITTLE HUMAN' (*shiver*). I'M GONNA HANG IN THE GALLOWS AND BE USED AS TARGET PRACTICE WHILE I'M STILL CHOKING AND THEN GET BANISHED TO THE SUN NOW!!! OH, WHY ME! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS... BESIDES-MY-ENTIRE-LIFE-OF-FAILING-TO-BE-EVIL-UNTIL-RECENTLY, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

You then proceed to curl up into a fetal-position and have a mental breakdown as you begin to suck your hoof like a little baby colt would do. You also rock back and forth while repeatedly crying like a little filly "I'm not a bad changeling. I'm not a bad changeling. I'm not a bad changeling. A mother can't die, and I'm a mother, see? SEE!? (*Holds out Nightshade's crayon drawing*)."

...

This will probably take a while, so let's just skip ahead to where you're a little bit more... stable.

49 MINUTES LATER

You stopped crying twenty minutes ago. You've gotten out of the fetal-position and you've stopped sucking your hoof a while ago as well. Now you're just pacing back and forth while mumbling stuff like "I could do this" and "No no that won't work" over and over again. For the past twenty-nine minutes, you've been thinking up escape plans and ways to 'disappear' as they say, but all the plans you've thought of all end with a noose around your neck (at best).

Gah, I need to stop worrying about what will happen to me now. If it happens then it happens. For now I need to focus on finding out where am I.You think to yourself in a determined tone. With that thought in mind, you decide to...

Climbing a tree checking where exactly they are and if there is a settlement around them sounds a good idea... assuming Bugze know how to climb a tree

Climb a stinking tree to see if you can find any civilization nearby. You remember the last time you tried to climb a tree back at Applejack's farm. You managed to get up, but you didn't get up without a scratch. You're pretty sure you still have splinters from it too. But, if it means finding a way out of this stupid forest once and for all, then a few splinters are worth it. You look around the field that you are in for a nice big tree. You find one a few seconds later that looks like a good size. So, you begin to climb the tree...

MANY MANY SPLINTERS LATER

You swear nature itself is out to get you. You think you have a zillion splinters now lodged in your body, some in places you didn't even know you could get splinters in (don't ask). You also had to deal with rabid chipmunks, high winds that nearly blew you off the tree, and the birds were dive-bombing you, and some of them, sadly, did hit you (if anyling asks, those white spots on your cool coat where there when you got it). But eventually you got to the top of the tree, and you look out over the area to see if you can find any hints of civilization.

You notice in the far distance a shack of some kind and you swear you've seen it somewhere before.

Now I know I've seen the shack somewhere before... but where...*ding* THAT'S IT! That's Zecora's house.You think to yourself in a excited tone. Considering that she's the only one who knows that you have this coat and (hopefully) won't attack you on site, that seems like the perfect place to go! *growl* Hopefully she has some food too. You then begin the long (and painful) journey down the tree.

SOMETIME LATER

Good news, the climb down took alot shorter than you thought it would. The bad news- *THUD*, you slipped off a branch half-way and slammed face-first into the ground. After you finally get done restructuring your face, you decide to head towards the direction you saw Zecora's hut at.

"Hopefully lady luck won't be trying to kill me this time." You say to yourself in a tired tone. You are about to continue walking towards the direction of Zecora's hut when you hear this...

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR

The roar is so powerful that it caused the ground to shake and all the birds to fly away from the roar... that just so happen to be in front of you. You stare in shock for a little bit, before you just sigh and you begin to walk towards Zecora's hut.

"Who am I kidding. The forest is gonna kill me before lady luck at this rate." You say to yourself with a dejected tone. And with that you walk into the forest away from the safety of the field you woke up in.

29 MINUTES LATER

Yup, you are definitely, utterly, completely lost. You curse your lack of direction and you wish that you actually had one. You sigh in annoyance and you begin to think that you'll never be able to find Zecora's hut at this rate, when you hear...

In an effort to figure out where you are, you hear two voices shout.
"Scootaloo-oo! Scoot-Scootaloo-oo!"
"That's so funny I forgot to laugh!"
What are two fillies doing in the forest?! Worse, what are the odds that anyling else is nearby to keep an eye on them? Begging the universe to give you a day, just one day, to catch your breath, you set out to find whoever shouted.

"Scootaloo-oo! Scoot-Scootaloo-oo!" A filly talking like a chicken? You would have thought you were hearing things due to your recent head injuries when you hear another filly say:

"That's so funny I forgot to laugh!"

""Huh that's nice, playful batter between two filly's." You say to yourself in a happy ton- WHAT!
"What in the name of Luna's moon are two fillies doing in a forest that's been trying to kill me since I woke up here after the invasion?!" You ask yourself in distress.

Worse, what are the odds that anyling else is nearby to keep an eye on them? You think to yourself in panic. You beg the universe to give you a day, just one stinking day, to catch your breath as you set out to find whoever said that. Zecora's can wait, there could be two fillies in danger that need saving!You think to yourself as you quickly gallop over to where you heard them talking.

A COUPLE MINUTES LATER

You finally find the fillies that were talking from before and you notice that one of the fillies is Applebloom! Your concern for the fillies increases when you see her. They appear to be wearing red capes and that means (if you remember correctly from your conversation) they're the other Cutie Mark Crusaders! If only you could remember their names...

Speaking of names, I need a fake one considering how my hood conceals my face in darkness. I'll need a name to go with that and my coat. You don't want to use a fake name, but you're most likely a fugitive by now after what happened at the castle and you don't want any of your few friends getting into trouble because of you. Besides, you always wanted to have a cool nickname.

I know! I'll be...."Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Then you hear the fillies scream!

What do you do?

Author's Note:

Hey guys, DWC here. If you couldn't tell, we have bow entered the "Stare Master" episode. Have fun with the suggestions.

Oh dear lord...Kersey475 RUN! Get out of there now! If 'The Darkness' door is broken, then every grimdark and evil thing I've ever read, seen, or heard of is in that door. And now that it's open...Run FOR IT NOW! They can't get killed their that evil. RUN MAN/GIRL RUN!

forevertheDoctor and MagusBlack, take the back entrance of the armory, that should lead you to the 'Forest of Monsters'. It's filled with monsters from t.v and movies, but you guys should be fine. Report to me ounce you get though it.

Yesterdays question answer is...

"And the worst thing the fandom has made is clop. I can't stand clop. What if a little girl finds it? "Oh yaaaaaay ponies woohoo AAAAH WHAT IS RAINBOW DASH DOING TO FLUTTERSHY OHHHHH GOD"

I agree with anyone who had this as a answer, Now if you like clop, then by all means that's your opinion, but please don't show me or tell me anything about it and we'll be fine. Now today's episode question is...

What should Bugze's 'superhero' name be?

Have fun with this one people...BYE!

Comments

[forevertheDoctor]

4550758 that was my plan! (Continues attacking it) and yes, yes I did. Ehehehe...

[Minds Eye]

His name should be Bexzug. Got it memorized?

You run to fillies, shouting "Never fear! Your friendly neighborhood...wait, that's been used before hasn't it? Ok, ok, I am vengeance! I am the night! I! AM! BEXZUG! Wait-"

You then notice a snake with a chicken head on it.

Quite frankly, I'll leave the rest up to you. Would the hood block the vision turning you to stone? It might be cool to see Bugze turn himself back from stone, since, you know, changeling.

[forevertheDoctor]

When faced with the Cockatrice, it must look you in the eyes, and when it begins to petrify you should turn to the fillies and snicker

"You see kids, this why you should never get...STONED! (Puts shades on) YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

All fillies groan behind you in unison, and then you realize you are being petrified, and in panic you scream.
"OH HOLY MOTHER OF CELESTIA, SWEET BUTT OF LUNA, DEAR ZEUS'S THUNDER, BY ODINS BEARD AND EVERYTHING ELSE HOLY HEEEEEEEELLLLPPP!"

[forevertheDoctor]

Magus, that "Attack on Titan" Colossal Titan has your name written all over it! Well, not literally...but write it in blood! I have a Godzilla to kill...oh, and I say Bugze's superhero name should be 'The Mighty Drone'

[rainbow20percent]

where did the splinters get

[KamiyaItsuno]

You don't care what it is, so far, Applebloom is the only living thing here that hasn't nearly murdered you
CHARGE!!!!

[Kersey475]

I second "Minds Eye"s hilariously excellent suggestion:

You run to fillies, shouting "Never fear! Your friendly neighborhood... wait, that's been used before hasn't it? Ok, ok, I am vengeance! I am the night! I! AM! BEXZUG! Wait-"

But modify it a bit to :
You jump in front of the fillies, shouting "Never fear! Your friendly neighborhood- wait, that's been used before hasn't it? Ok, ok, I am vengeance! I am the night! I! AM! Wait, that's been done too. Oh oh, I know: I am the shadow that flaps in the nigh-"
CMC: "JUST SAVE US ALREADY!!!"

After Fluttershy deals with the cockatrice, something happens that causes your hood (and/or coat) to come off revealing you as a changeling. The yellow pegasus runs at you and you brace yourself for more pain as Apple Bloom says something like "Fluttershy! Wait-!"... but the Pegasus tearfully tackle-hugs you and says how happy she is that you're okay. After cheering up the crying Pegasus, you now have 3 more friends who don't hate you for being a changeling!

You suddenly get blasted by a magic beam from out of nowhere by a no-longer-stone Twilight! (for the sake of continuity and the timetable of the episodes, Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack split up to look for the hooded changeling (aka Bugze) after he teleported away and that's how Twilight ended up frozen by a cockatrice in the forest), but fortunately, Fluttershy and the CMC protect you from her (especially Fluttershy telling Twilight that you're the changeling who saved her from being crushed by a boulder, took on a DRAGON for them, and recently tried to save the CMC)

You realize that since Nightshade is also a blank flank, she can also be friends with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. While nopony is looking, you have your 'daughter' put away her armor so she can blend in more and the filly also decides to hide her wings and/or horn with a spell because an alicorn filly would attract ALOT of attention...
-You know what, let the Hive Mind decide whether Nightshade should disguise herself as a Unicorn, Pegasus, or Earth Pony.

Bugze's superhero name should be The Hooded Offender! (reference to the Winnie the Pooh episode, "The Masked Offender" with an added bonus if Bugze is mis-remembering the name of one of his favorite novels, The Masked Defender) HOODED OFFENDER, AWAY!
-----------------
Oh, since it was the Big Daddy who broke the door using M Night Shymalan so the grimdarks are going after them first giving me PLENTY of time to escape. What do I do now (I'm STILL waiting for MagusBlack to get me those coat and weapons)?

[Down with Chrysalis]

4552221 Find a door marked 'Multiverse Fics' and wait there until Magus gets you your stuff, after that...jump in

[Fireheart 1945]

His superhero name should be Roxas or something like that (a reference to the clock he's wearing).

As for what to do; well, what do you think? Go save them, of course!

[MagusBlack]

Note to Bugze: When we get time(after learning the communication spell), Start training with the force field spell so you can use it reflexively. This will save you from getting so many head injuries.

Obviously go save the foals. Let's see if the stun spell works. And don't forget the force field spell( seriously I don't think we have even used it once)

[Kersey475]

4552578 Bugze TRIED to use the forcefield spell in "Episode 20: WE ARE GONNA TALK AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!!!", but Applejack smashed right through it.

BTW, would you kindly tell me WHERE ARE MY GORRAM WEAPONS AND COAT?!

*Blasts Big Daddy with grenade launcher stunning it, then runs up to Big Daddy and shoves M41A pulse rifle into one of the broken eyeports*
"HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, BITCH!"
*Unloads the entire magazine into the creature while also taking out the Auto-9 machine pistol with his free hand and kneecapping an incoming "Cupcakes Pinkie Pie", to REALLY slow her down since she can't be killed*
"OK, I'm going in the door marked 'Multiverse Fics'. ALLONS-Y!!!"
*Jumps backwards through door Max Payne-style while emptying the M41A's grenade launcher at the crowd of grimdarks so forevertheDoctor and MagusBlack will have an easier time fighting them*

"Well not the way out... DWC why do you have a Radio Room in your head?"
"Also it just occurred to me that I could have just asked you to make all of these doors Titan sized. Those broken doors aren't going to be a problem are they?"

Bugzy: I am the best there is at what I do. But what I do isn't very- Oh wait, darn it!

[Down with Chrysalis]

4552998 You can pay for them later, for now just find Kersey, my scanner says hes already went though the door, just retrace your steps to find him.

Also I have a Radio room because how else am I gonna post you the story huh

[Erised the ink-moth]

Okay, superhero name... let's see here. Okay I've got something.

*Comicbook announcer voice*
Bugzy was just a normal changeling who wanted to be a good guy. But he's about to learn, that being a good guy, is harder than it looks. After being thrown headfirst into the most painful adventure of his life, he was given the chance he wanted, at a price that's all too hilarious for everyone else.
Now he's heroically improbable, and comedically driven. Bugzy is... The Unrelenting Farce!

[Minds Eye]

4553040
Let's keep it simple.

"BUGZE SMASH!"

...

For the love of-fine. FINE! How's this: "It's Changelin' Time!"

...

DAMMIT! OK, there's gotta be something. Bugze is the good guy now, right? What do good guys fight for? How about honesty? Yeah, if we fight for honesty we can get Applejack on our side. And what about what's right and fair for everypony and everyling? We should fight for that too. And really, aren't we just trying to fit in in Equestria? Let's just fight for what the ponies fight for. So:

"I am Bugze, and I fight for truth, justice, and the Equestrian Way!"

...

MOTHER-

"Sounds like a pla- Oh Dear!"
*Pinkamena is standing there looking a little crispy and pissed off*
*Unleases a rocket salvo at her*
* She slowly starts getting back up*
"..."
*Turns around and runs out of Multiverse Fics*
"Oh God, Oh God, Oh God'
*forevertheDoc (standing on top of a Godzillia corpse) hears the thundering foot steps of an Ogre Titan along with sounds of heavy weapons fire, explosives, and the occasional crack of electricity *
"DOC! INCOMING PINKAMENA! SHE IS LIKE A MURDEROUS PEPE LE PEW! THAT JUST WON'T DIE! RUN FOR IT!" *as the Ogre Titan runs past*

[forevertheDoctor]

4552946 yep, and all of them will taste bullets! Really REALLY big bullets!

[forevertheDoctor]

4553129 oh god. OH GOD. OKAY, OKAY RUNNING, RUNNING REALLY FAST!

*Wandering around 'Multiverse fics' for an exit*
"Let's see; Bioshock crossover fic idea, Doctor Who crossover fic idea, crossover idea that's clearly a soapbox for DWC's political beliefs..."
*Sees Pinkamena chasing MagusBlack and forevertheDoctor*
"Huh?"
*Nonchalantly pulls out Cerberus and blasts off Pinkamena's limbs*
"Guys, DWC said these grimdarks can't die, but he didn't say anything about crippling injuries not slowing them down."
*Points Cereberus and Auto-9 backwards over shoulders and nonchalantly blasts wings off of "Rainbow Factory Rainbow Dash" causing her to crash into legless Pinkamena to illustrate my point*

[forevertheDoctor]

4556352 huh. (Slices Pinkamena in half with a light saber) WOW. Look, she's still squirming. Ehehehe...this should be fun.
