Each of the six former ponies had their eyes closed, but then they all snapped open at once.
"T-Twi? What in the buckin' hay happened to us," screamed Applejack. The others were just as curious, and poor Spike just watched his best friends become monsters (in his opinion).
The purple changeling took a deep breath and said, "We have been reborn and learned the Truth. A-and I think that w-we should pick new n-names?" The purple changeling braced herself for a verbal assault that didn't come. The yellow changeling spoke up.
"Alright," she said, "I will be... Shifting Kindly." The light-gray changeling blinked.
"I will be," said the light-gray changeling, "Morphing Charity." The blue changeling pondered for a moment. She was the former element of loyalty, but to what?
Finally she decided, "I am Bending Loyalty." She struck a pose for emphasis. The orange changeling shook her head but decided.
"Ah' m Honest Change," she said proudly while sticking out her chest. The pink changeling looked at the ceiling for a few minutes.
She finally said, "I am Laughing Flip-Flop!" The purple changeling scanned the room, surprised at her friends' willingness. Her worries disappeared.
"Spike," she said, "Would you like an orb?" The small dragon looked up, shocked for a moment, fear the next, but finally determination.
"Yes," he confidently stated while stomping his left foot. The changeling queen that had been forgotten for a moment, made an orb appear and levitated it over to Spike. The young dragon studied for a moment, but he did swallow it. Suddenly, he felt the pain the former Mane 6 felt minutes ago. His fangs became sharper. His scales, darker. His spikes retracted into his skull, causing him to scream in pain. A horn, about the size of a unicorn foal, but curved, sprouted above his forehead. Dark green wings, matching the color of his eyes, shot out of his back. His mind was filled with information. Celestia being a dictator. Luna being brainwashed. Twilight... Twilight and the Mane 6 being lied to. Spike was no longer Spike.
"I," he announced, "am Morphing Thorn." The purple changeling nodded and turned around to look at Chrysalis. She was smiling.
"Young changeling," she spoke regally, "I see it fit that you take my place as queen, for my subjects died long ago."
"Please take my place... Princess Shimmering Dusk."
'Da "Dark" has been added.

5522712

5523905
Heh heh... I'll see what I can do!
My bad . If I see something like "kingdom of monsters" I assume it has something to do with Godzilla , being the king of all monsters and all . just a little mistake nothing more
Pretty cool start. But now that we are on our way, how about a little back story here? I want to know what's been going down with a bit more detail then "CELESTIA'S A MOTHER-BUCKING LAIR!!"
As for Luna being brainwashed, I'm probably one of many or few who believe the show points to that very conclusion... along with every other pony in Equestria. Considering Celestia had to maintain her rule for 1000 years, she had to do SOMETHING to keep things as peaceful as they were. Not to mention she comes off as condescending and not willing to listen to reason if she thinks you are wrong (Changeling Wedding, Anyone?). Plus, I love her (and consequently EVERYPONY'S) misconceptions of harmony in the show. Harmony literally means the balance of all things. That means ALL THINGS. Loyalty - Betrayal. Laughter - Sadness. Honesty - Lying. Generosity - Greed. Kindness - Cruelty. Faith - Disbelief (My understanding there). Order - Chaos. <= This is the biggest misconception. Celestia's rule in the show reflects ORDER. The society thrives in an utopian style where everypony has their place, and if they aren't in it, they are either miserable, or a problem. So I can definitely see the grounds for a story like this. Please, do continue.

Just watch Canded Cream: Mind Control, Magic, and You
This story is pretty good a lot of potential in story development I'd like to see where this goes.

Ok that makes sense, I can't wait for more!
This is one of the three stories I'm following, and one other is also from you.

Thanks for the follows! And to reply a comment to someone else click the ">>" in the top right corner of a comment. And don't worry, I didn't know at first either!
5525209 I'm not a big fan of Celestia myself.
5525209 That is probably the best explanation I've heard yet. I'm just surprised ponies aren't miserable in a utopian lifestyle that is unless they are all brainwashed to never wish to be something than what they are for society. Which would indicate why cutie marks are so important and why ponies jobs are identified by them. I believe other creatures don't have them because they are not needed in order for their individuals to function in society. As you said those who don't fit in are either a problem or are deemed as miserable because their society refuses to find a place for them. Those who conform to their job to the highest level become alicorns. Celestia calls it achieving your destiny, but what is destiny when you are forced to follow one assigned to you as soon as you discover it? Why am I asking you these things, the world may never know.

Interesting thought, but cutie marks were around LONG before celestia.
5749235 Don't forget: Forced enlightenment is still enlightenment. So, at the end of the day, does it really matter?
