Very dramatic piece. Feels very much like a story Chrysalis would be telling her brood, how they conquered this world they found. I doubt such an overt tactic of tearing up entire towns in quick succession would work against humanity, but eh. It works for drama.
The bit about escalating paranoia tearing human society apart is a nice touch. There's been a few more serious changeling fics where the whole 'anypony could be a changeling' scare undermines pony society, and it's worked well.
Very interesting, the whole humanity versus changelings theme worked pretty well despite being a bit short. Regardless the story was concise and retold a massive epic from Chrysalis's point of view in just over a thousand words. One question though, it seems humanity fell quite easily so I'm wondering what time period in human history this is? I can understand the whole changeling infiltration tearing apart society causing panic and chaos but I'd still like to know the level of technological development the changelings were up against.
Very good overall, I enjoyed reading it very much.
Hmm what I can say, If Chrysalis meet that one guy with green armor and thing for riping and tearing, that wouldn't be so good for them, but there is still possibility that they will come to meet him
And if you don't know who I'm talking about then

... you are doomed
For that short story it wasn't bad, especially style of told novel or something like this was pretty good for it.
So the humans are extinct? How will they feed now?
6136856 They took out all the humans, but at the end, Chrysalis claims they're preparing to return to Equestria.
6136859 So their permanent residence is going to be equestria later huh?
So a bunch of insects that get beat up by untrained civilians somehow managed to take out 6 billion humans who are armed with actual weapons, nukes, poison gas, etc? Yeah, no.
6136930 You're entitled your own opinion, darling, but I think you might have missed some of the subtleties in how they managed to take over. They let the humans take each other out. Nukes, poison gas, all of the things your talking about would be completely useless against a group of monsters with magical abilities, mind control powers, and the ability to take on other forms.

Yes because detecting mind control is so hard (Shining had shiny green eyes, and this was a spell used by the most powerful spellcaster in the invasion).
6137038 Unfortunately, I feel the need to defend my story, here, but if you'd kindly not gum up the comments with your negative views on the story, I would appreciate it. Feel free to message me.
Very well. Mind control powers can be noticed by a human with glowing green eyes. A: we do not know the full extent of their magic. B: suspension of disbelief. Look into it. C: This is still a trained army that humans are unfamiliar with.
And the ability to shape shift? The ability to transform into your neighbor, brother, mother, or the nice policeman outside? Or you know what? Lets go ahead and say they DID drop a nuke on New york, for whatever reason, but you claimed it in your example. That'd kill a lot of changelings, right? Kill a lot of humans, too, but the changelings would be dead. Hopefully. You know what would survive a nuke? Cockroaches. You know- insets like the changelings. So yes, at the cost of millions of lives, some changelings MAY be killed. Who knows where the others could be hiding. So, according to you, the next step would be flood the streets with poison gas? Ok, thats a bit silly, implying gas would even affect the changelings as such it does us. So lets say you arm the police with rifles and high powered weapons.
... Of course, the changelings have already infiltrated the police, and now they're ALSO armed with high powered weapons. Now, of course, the SMARTER changelings, will infiltrate, do something terrible, like free a bunch of inmate from a prison, and then leave. "I saw Johnny free the inmates, he's one of them!!" Of course, by this point the changeling pretending to be Johnny has left the building. See, this is how paranoia works. Have you ever seen the movie "The Thing" (If not, go and watch it, very delightful horror)
Thats the whole point of letting the human's paranoia kind of turn them against each other. Kind of difficult to fight your enemy when you haven't a clue if the person next to you is on your side or not. OH, I'm sure the humans will work to build technology that can identify a changeling. Maybe. They ARE magical creatures, after all. Again, suspension of disbelief. Of course, if the scientist in the room continues to secretly sabotage the process, that'll take a while. Meanwhile the changelings simply overwhelm with sheer numbers. Sorry darling, in Lady Rarity's head cannon/Story, We LOSE.

I rather liked this but I do feel like it's a bit counterproductive in wiping out humanity as we are practically a endless food source to them so it'd be a thing like the penal legions I assume.
I feel I have to do a bit of a reality check on that last part. Despite this being long late and being in the Alt Universe Genre, I think I need to put this out there.
I think you underestimate how far human defiance goes. Sure, the humans may have used a few nukes on each other, and they'd be distracted with terror groups like ISIS and good old tension, but if, and only if the Changelings somehow obliterated the human resistance, our world's governments would sooner nuke the world into oblivion. In reality, if the Changies came to our world, we'd have a bit of a series of events that would likely happen.
1. We would detect a change in our planet's surface using satellite imagery. Along with ground/sea units, we have people going just about everywhere. So even if they had cloud cover going for them, they'd have to deal with people likely seeing a giant, black/brown, hive-like structure right in a nation's backyard. Not easy to even hide your initial presence, let alone trying to infiltrate cities. Which brings me to my next point.
2. We would, after seeing the giant fucking insect hive, would immediately mobilize troops in the area, and go through the appropriate, ratified, procedures when meeting alien life. Considering the Changies would be dead set on complete domination, we'd put the entire perimeter around their shit under constant military watch and most likely bomb the hell out of the Changies until there wasn't a bacteria living down there.
3. Failing this, we would do what is considered a standard military strategy for a First World nation. We'd just go on an all out strike campaign with drones at the head. So even if the Changies somehow managed to take down our birds, they wouldn't even be bleeding us of any human lives. And, I've seen the magic Chrissy is capable of using, and it wouldn't really easily destroy a modern tank. Maybe a WW2 era one, but a modern Polish or French tank? Please.
4. See how I'm not mentioning Changelings infiltrating cities? That's because of No. 2. We'd just shoot down anything that tried to get past out perimeter, and upon seeing that the Changies can shapeshift/disguise, they'll have the eggheads in the labs cook up something to detect if they're a Changeling, or something to that effect.
This is extremely simplified, and there are a lot of variables, and things I'm missing. Feel free to question any of my logic.

As much as I'd like to be roped into a conversation about a story I wrote damn near two years ago, I think I'll simply leave you with this:
Nope. We lose. All of your arguments are based on your first statement being true.
All of this implies they'd built the hive above ground. I think they'd probably do it below the surface. Nice and deep where we couldn't see them. Like ants, or termites, or whatever other insects live underground. I could go on and on but, really, this story was written a long time ago. If you simply must debate this with me, feel free to send me a PM!
7272481 I understand, and I was just giving out an opinion on how it would work. I could be like "sonar, sonar, and sonar" but I really don't have the time with how as I write this, I'm on the way to visit my mother. This, and I can't, in good conscience, waste someone's time with something so trivial and irrelevant. Still, I'm glad you gave me a response, and I think, overall, it was a good story. Cheers!
