TheRutherford’s Comment
As you watch the giant tear himself out of a convenience store and take off through the town, Rutherford quips,
“And here I thought he couldn’t get any uglier.”
“Who do you think woke him up already?” asks Solarkness.
“Oh who do you think? If it wasn’t one drunk, it was the other,” he snarks.
Odd, wasn’t he taller back in Vanhoover, you think as you see a large group of changelings starting to follow the giant.
Indeed he was. Still, even at that size he’s bound to be destructive.
I’m not sure that’s such a good thing, there’s a reason I told them to use him as weapon of last-
You are suddenly blasted by intense flames which hurl you into a pig enclosure.
“You shouldn’t ignore us! We are still your primary concern!” Tannen gloats.
“AAAHHH!!!” you yell as your cloak starts to smoke. “Fire! I’m on fire again! Why have you betrayed me pure and beautiful flames?!”
“CV!” Aqua yells as she puts you out with a splash.
“Thanks Aqua,” you call out as you sit back up.
You see Rutherford and Solarkness attempting to double team Tannen as Biff turns to the gathered troops.
“Assist in bringing down that giant! My brother and I will deal with these lot!”
And with that, the troops fly off towards the giant pony screaming and running through town.
“Would You Kindly Get Shocked?!” you yell as you sucker punch Biff just like his brother just did to you.
“Don’t forget, that I’m YOUR primary concern!” you yell as you rush forth with Aqua.
I’ll worry about tubby later. Right now he’s being the distraction he’s meant to be. I gotta use my plasmids for all I’m worth to take these guys down.
With that thought, you and the other four battle the two brothers once more, while in the rest of the town…

Biff and Tannen’s changelings group up with some others in town. As they do, a Diamond Dog with a shopping cart rounds a corner.
“Stop right there scum! We’ve got you cornered!” one of the Changeling’s yells.
“Sorry Bud, Ain’t happening! Run along Carty, You’re free now!” he breathlessly pants as he shoves the cart at them, knocking a few down, before jumping up into the air and using their heads as a walkway.
“Scuse me (ow!), pardon me (hey!) , oopsie daisy (watch it!) ,hey don't I know you? (Doh!)”
“As he jumps off the last changeling he runs off down another corner out of their sight.
“Get him you idiots!” yells the same changeling as before.
But before they could give chase they hear a roar,
“BROWN DOG!!!!!!” , and turn around to see kaiju Kersey barreling toward them. One changeling gives a flat look and says,
“I don't get enough love for this.” Kersey then charges through them like bowling pins not even noticing them. The lead changeling now knocked through the air yells,
“I hate Mondays!”
“Ahahahaha! Oh what a day! What a lovely day!” the drunken idiot spouts as he laughs at the Changeling’s misfortune.
“I’m gonna crush you you little-Whoah!” Kersey cries out as the cart from earlier makes his hoof slide forward and he takes a little tumble.
“London Bridge is Falling Down!” Brown Dog cackles.
“Get back here you dumb mutt!” Kersey roars as he gets back up, oblivious to Mongo and the rest of his troops chasing after him.
“Mutt and proud of it! At least momma Brown Dog didn’t raise a sentient fat sack!”
“I’m Not Fat I’m Big Boned!” he yells as he throws the shopping cart at Brown Dog who barely dodges.
Pursuing the pursuing changelings are the rest of the injured Powerhouses.
“What exactly are we supposed to be doing?” asks Silver.
“Making sure that stupid dog doesn’t die!” Changer spits back, favoring his uninjured leg.
“Shouldn’t we be trying to regroup with the others?” asks Grey Rebl.
“I think that’s what this is all about…” Changer murmurs as he sees flying debris in the direction they’re all heading.

Kichi’s Comment
ThePonySpartan’s Comment
Over with the Runners, Vicky is having a conniption fit as she sees Kersey’s head snaking it’s way down the roadways towards her group.
She lifts about a half a building’s worth of debris in a telekentic sphere as she and her group stands ready.
“Oh great, it’s the return of Ponyzilla” Kichi grumbles aloud.
“You stupid idiotic Knights! What were you morons thinking unleashing something like that?!” she chides as she slams Kichi, Snap Drake and Candy up against the wall.
“How do we know it wasn’t you guys that unleashed him?” shoots back Kichi confusing Vicky. “I wouldn’t put it past stupid crazy Chrysalis to pull a stunk like this.”
“What?!” she spouts out flabbergasted.
“Yeah, she’s crazy, maybe she just wanted to squish us all like bugs…there is way too many jokes I could make about that,” Kichi snarks.
“AGH!” she yells as she turns back around and sees a small shop start to fall over.
“You guys are going to ruin everything if this keeps up!”
She then starts to trot away with her soldiers.
“We need to link back up with Captain Mongo. Together we all should-“
While her guard is down, Erised’s thrall jumps upon her back.
“AH! Get off!” she shouts.
"You're Mine Now!" he yells as he opens his mouth to bite her…
“Erised! That’s sexual harassment! Shame on you!” Brown Dog yells as he runs past startling Knight and Changeling alike.
“What the?” both Erised and Vicky say, each temporarily forgetting about the other.
“Move it or lose it guys!” he yells to the others who aren’t subdued anymore. "Tubby just learned that the latest Transformares got cancelled!”
“THOSE MOVIES ARE GREAT AND UNDER-RATED!” Kersy's outraged roar is the only warning they get before the giant pony comes skidding 'round the corner and trampling his way through twenty changelings, including Erised's last remaining thrall. Vicky is able to dodge up and out of the way in time though.
“Oh Buck You they are!” comes the response back from Brown Dog.
As those two round a corner, Mongo and his group come charging down the road.
“Mongo!” Vicky calls out as she flies to join him.
“Sometimes I wonder why I even joined this club,” Kichi bemoans as he Candy and Snap Drake hide from the pursuing Changelings.
As they pass, they see Grey, Changer and Silver running.
“Silver!” calls out Candy as the two groups meet up.
“You guys alright?” asks Snap.
“We’ve been better,” grunts Grey.
Silver nods and says, “Yeah, and we’ll only get more better unless we follow that crowd.”
“Wait, you want us to FOLLOW Kersey? Why? Just let the Hive take care of him,” says Kichi.
“We still need to stop them, and there focus is on him. This is our best shot!” Changer growls.
“Fine, go on you idiots. I’ll catch up in some other way!” Erised’s thrall says from the ground.
“You’re not coming old guy?” teases Grey.
“This thrall is too banged up and his limbs are busted. I don’t have enough energy to deal with him. Go on now!”
They all nod and chase after the changelings.
With Kersey’s screaming still ringing in Erised's ears he relinquishes control of his thrall. The pale changeling huffs in frustration from inside the TARDIS.
"Hey, time squad! Is the evacuation nearly complete?" he asks Mia as she and Nightshade load more pods of ponies inside. By the sheer number piling up, there can't be that many more to go.
"First of all, we're Torchwood." Mia corrects him, "And we're moving as fast as we can. ...There's just so many."
"Well figure something out." Erised spits, "The situation is going sideways out there; our teams are getting their flanks served to them, Kersey is on the rampage again, and my last thrall just got squashed."
"You know, this might go faster if you decided to help out a bit." Mia offers, motioning to the pods she's levitating in, obviously straining with the effort of that and maintaining her shield.
"Fine."
Mia smiles as Erised makes his way to the entrance of the TARDIS, but then frowns again as he walks right past her and outside, completely ignoring the captured ponies.
"I'm going out," he tells her, "Don't wait up for me."
Outside, Erised climbs up to a vantage point. It takes a frustratingly long time due to his weakened body. But from the schoolhouse's bellower he's able to see the battle taking place in town. Dozens of black specs still dart around like flies, the changelings his fellow knights refused to put down for good. Blasts of fire and torrents of water can be seen, indicating the elementalists dueling it out. But the most striking feature is Kersey, stomping through the town like a runaway lard train, kicking up dust behind him knocking into changelings and buildings, and the large group of drones chasing him.
Erised grits his teeth.
I guess it's my job to reign him in before he causes more damage then. Oh joy.
Concentrating, Erised activates the blood he injected into Kersey while he was still under, and attempts to assert his control.
Kersey, check yourself before you wreck yourself, fool.
Kersey slows his run as he hears Erised's voice in his head, looking around to try and see where the annoyance is coming from.
"Huh? Who’s talking in my head? Is that you Ink Moth?!"
That's right. We're fighting for our lives out here, ponies are in danger, and it's all going to be for nothing if you destroy everything with your fat flank. So forget about Brown Dog for one bucking second and-
"Screw you!" Kersey roars, to the confusion of everyone around him, "I don't have to take orders from some anorexic emo roach who doesn't even participate half the time! That brown mutt has had this coming for too long."
Not around- I have my own life, you know?!
"Whatever! I'm gonna roast Brown Dog and eat him with a side of chips now, and after that, I'm gonna squash you like the bug you are."
“I guarantee I won’t taste good!” Brown Dog yells back as Kersey doubles his barreling.
Kersey? Kersey! Erised tries to get in his head again, but it's no use. He isn't listening at all.
"Damn it. That self-righteous-! *sigh* Alright then... need to try something else."
Hey idiots, are you listening? and this time, each of the other knights hear him in their heads.
I don't have much time for this so-
"Erised? How are you talking to us?" Kichi asks.
I added my blood to the food you guys ate back at the saloon. It's not important. Now-
"Not important?!" Snap yells, "I beg to differ! You don't drug a bro's food, bro. Not cool."
Will you all shut up?! Listen up, Kersey isn't going to stop any time soon. But much as I hate to say it, it does give us an opportunity. These commanders outclass most of us in a straight-up fight. So I suggest we switch dance partners while they're distracted.
"What do you mean?" Rutherford asks as he blocks a blast of fire that rolls over his scales.
I mean no one wins rock-paper-scissors by choosing the same thing as their opponents. So when it all comes to a head, switch up the opponents, especially when they’re all focused on lardo. Our elementalists are evenly matched against Biff and Tannen, but overpowering Vicky should be an easy feat for them. Similarly, our heavies seemed to have been stomped by Mongo,
"Thanks for giving them god hacks!" Changer yells in response
"I keep telling you it wasn't our fault!" Grey yells back at him.
Erised ignores them and goes on.
But I doubt the fire and ice twins would be a problem if you can find some way to get in close and keep the pressure on.
"So where does that leave you runners?" Brown Dog asks, "With Mongo?"
No. It leaves Mongo with Kersey. We runners can still assist against the remaining drones though. But if we don’t do something, this whole thing is going to get a lot worse.
“Kersey’s kind of focused on my good buddy Erised,” Snap Drake responds. “How are we gonna get him to change foes?”
I can help with that, but I need time to mentally prepare. In the meantime, Brown Dog, take two lefts, then a right and head to towards the Apple Trees. The Offender is out there.
“Oh good, I’ve been looking for him!” Brown Dog responds happily as he follows his directions.
The rest of you best be ready, it’s all going to come to a head…

Back With You
You, Aqua, Rutherford, and Solarkness have been able to fight the twins tooth and nail, neither side having the advantage. The plan to separate them didn’t pan out, and they work well together.
If only I was able to unleash the cloak, then we’d be winning! You think in frustration.
“Heads up Offender, Kersey’s coming our way soon,” Solarkness growls to you as you dodge a blast from Biff.
“He is? How do you know?”
“Ink Moth told us,” Rutherford says as he lands next to you and stops a fire ball.
“Wait, if we know he’s coming…” Aqua starts.
“HERE I COME TO WRECK THE DAY!!!” Brown Dog’s voice reaches them.
“I’ll wreck you! I’ll wreck you so hard!” Kersey pants.
Biff and Tannent get distracted by the oncoming Kersey still chasing the diamond dog when the four of you all say:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfqqpvPXGHo]“Light bulb”
With the twins distracted, you rush up to both of them and stick the Boom Stick in between the holes on their legs, connecting and trapping them. They look at you in shock before you say,
“You know I have no Idea what’ll happen if I activate this nifty staff while it’s like this. You’ll both probably blow up, so since you both don’t wanna end up as bug spatter how about you stand down and surrender?”
With their focus on you, Rutherford sprays a large amount of water a few paces in front of Kersey, making a large puddle. A soon as Brown Dog runs through it, he yells,
“Slip’N’Slide!”
Aqua starts causing the puddle to become frozen solid. As Kersey steps on it, he begins to slip.
“Agh!” he yells as he slides.
Solarkness, causes some vines to shoot out of the ground and helps trip the large pony, who flips into the air and starts to fall towards you and the twins. You then activate the Boom Stick which launches both of them together into the oncoming path of Kersey…but also…
“Oof!” Brown Dog grunts as the twins slam into him, causing both to pile into the ground.
He then looks up into the oncoming fat.
“Oh Son of a B-*WHUMP*" and he and the twins get buried under the giants fat rolls.
Solarkness and Rutherford look aghast at that before looking back to you holding your Boom Stick sheepishly.
“…Whoops?”
As you say that, the giant starts to stand back up.
“What the buck was that? Now my butt is cold and…huh?” he looks down at his landing spot as where two groggy changelings are, and one still Brown Diamond Dog.
“I…I did it. I DID IT!!!” Kersey screams in triumph looking at the still form in his crater. “I KILLED BROWN DOG!!! OMG I never thought this day would actually come!” he cheers in absolute happiness to the rest of your disgust.
“Whelp, might as well get him skinned and grilled before he stars rotting,” he says reaching down towards the Knight. “Today is the best day of my- *Blast* AGH!”
Kersey yells clutching his ear as a large group of Changelings come barely towards him, all of them unleashing spells at him.
“Why the ear?! Who does that?! And who’s shooting at me?!” he yells as he squints at the oncoming black horde.
As Rutherford grabs Brown Dog’s unconscious body, the rest of you all sneak into hiding positions as the rest of the Changelings swarm towards Kersey.
Kersey’s Comment
Without Brown Dog to focus his anger, the giant accountant actually has a chance to think on his situation as he’s pelted with firepower.
And he charges head first, swinging wildly into the oncoming storm. In his rampage, Kersey knocks aside groups of changelings at once. Many try to stand on him, bite him, etc, but he keeps swatting at him as if he’s covered in bees.
Seeing the many changeling grunts coming, you declare,
“Now’s our chance! Start taking pot shots at the drones and let Kersey beat them down before Mongo and Vicky show up!”
“Already on it chief!” Solarkness points out blasts coming in from all sides as the rest of the groups have converged.
“Oh…gotcha. You try to get this idiot woken up while I deal with these other idiots,” you tell the timberwolf as you launch into the midst of it.
You, Aqua, Rutherford, Changer, Kichi, Silver, and Candy then start blasting at changeling drones.
“Mongo! They’re attacking on all sides!” you hear Vicky yell as she protects some of her drones from Kersey’s hoof with a bubble. “Take him out before we lose anymore!”
Mongo grunts in acknowledgement and charges right at him, but Kersey smashes him into the ground with a hoof before picking him up and putting him close to his near-sighted face for a better look.
"Oh, you're a big roach aren't ya?" Kersey says sadistically before throwing him through a building.
“MONGO!!!” Vicky cries out and flies off after him. Kersey then yells.
With all of their commanders incapacitated, many of the changelings become disorganized and are taken down easily. Those who feel the shift get out of range of the giant and fly after their commanders.
“I don’t know where the buck you bugs all came from, but it’s squishing time!” he yells as he starts attempting to stomp on injured changelings on the ground.
“Would You Kindly Bucking Bronco!” you yell keeping his hoof from slamming into an injured changeling. Fat is one thing, but a hoof is pure brunt bone.
“Oh What the Buck?!” he yells as he loses his balance, causing one of Changers attacks to strike him in the gut.
“Oof! Was that book guy?! Are these YOUR changelings?!” he accuses to the blurry blobs around him.
"I said no crippling or killing!!!" you growl, angry at what Kersey tried to do.
"Lard-flank was out during that talk, remember?" Aqua points out as he tries to stomp on Rutherford.
"Buck! Well he’s helped decimate their numbers, but I can’t let him kill anyling!” you declare as you rush forth and cry out.
Kersey’s Comment
"Psycho Crush-" *flump* "Eww! NOT AGAIN!" you exclaim in disgust as your attack just causes you to get absorbed into Kersey's fat folds. You Falcon Punch your way out without getting noticed by Kersey and yell,
"Aqua, waterbend me! Quick!"
"I don't think a wash is a priority-"
"JUST DO IT! UNCLEAN! UNCLE-*splash*" you panic before Aqua knocks you into a changeling with a waterbending attack.
"Thanks!" you say causing Aqua to roll her eyes.
We're going to have to get his attention another way. Selena comments.
“Offender! Are we attacking lardo now?” asks Silver, causing Kersey to stiffen.
"The Hooded Offender? He’s here?" he starts squinting looking around.
Well that’s convenient.
"Yeah, here I am squinty!” you yell as you back away from all of the downed changelings. “It is I, The glorious inspiration for your clu-*Wham*" you manage to get out before Kersey smashes you into a barn with a massive hoof.
"THAT WAS FOR FLAG BURNER!!!" he roars as he lumbers in your direction, away from the downed changelings as the other Knights mop up the remaining drones.
"Cheap Shot!” you say poking your head out of the rubble. “And really? ‘That was for Flag Burner?’ Really? That nutjob doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment!”
"I may have not known him personally, but I joined up because of him!" he yells taking a swing at you.
"He was a psycho terrorist!" you yell as you dodge his hoof.
"Yeah he scared the buck out of me, but I respected his cunning, his leadership, and most of all his homicidal desires." he yells as he keeps attacking you, "I was going to handle his finances when I climbed the ranks, maybe he would have let me pick his targets. He should have killed you but no, you had to go and kill him first.”
“The only reason you even climbed the ranks was because everyone else got arrested, just like the rest of us!” calls out Rutherford.
“Yeah man, you were stuck in the same loser corner with us when everything went down,” Kichi calls out.
“I’m not like you idiots! He would have seen my genius! I was going to get promoted I know I was!” he growls in denial as he tries to swat Kichi.
“The dude was nuttier than squirrel crap, so of course you’d think that!” Changer yells sending out a blast of wind at Kersey.
“Sure he had his faults, but he was the best. He could have killed the Offender, but nooooo, he wanted to go the 'making you watch the city burn as a demonstration of my power' cliche. That's an elementary Evil Overlord List mistake and look how that bucking turned out! But even still, after he was gone I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE!!!"
Luna, what a chatterbox. you think dodging more attacks as you steer him away from the others with a blast of magic.
It's keeping him focused on us. Keep going.
"I ain't easy to kill!" you taunt. “As if you could have done any better lardo!”
"Pfft. If I were in charge I wouldn’t have left you in some supervillain deathtrap. No, I would have shot you through the skull with a crossbow, cut off your head with an Orichalcum axe, slice your body into at least four pieces with said axe, tear out your heart, submerge your body pieces in separate blocks of concrete, sink the blocks on various locations in separate coasts of Equestria, jam a pair of sharpened dynamite sticks into your dead eyes, throw the head into an active volcano, encrust the before-mentioned heart in gems, and then keep it as a trophy!"
"WHAT THE BUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" the Knights acclaim at that overkill idea.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega! And I will purge all of you idiots with- *WHAM*”
He is cut off as a large bubble of debris strikes him in the side of the face.
You look over and see Vicky and Mongo, and the dazed looking Biff and Tannen all staring at you with scowls.
“Shut up fatty!” Vicky calls before turning her attention to you.
“You! He keeps calling you the Offender…Is this true?! Are you him?!”
You lower your hood, exposing your orange hair and they are all shocked.
“9-9001?” gasps Vicky. “N-No…Sin said you’d been dealt with…”
Mongo gives you a scowl that could shatter mountains with how strong it is.
Biff and Tannen both get angry glints in their eyes.
“You beat us and left us in that cave,” Biff starts.
“You beat us and left us to those dragons,” Tannen adds.
“You Left Us To Die You Monster!”
Monster. You’ve been hearing that word a lot for the last three years. And you have done monstrous things but…
“Yes. I am a monster. You all cried for help and I left you to those dragons. I know it doesn’t mean much at this stage, but I am sorry. But like I told Sin, even though I feel guilt for you, I can’t let you subjugate this town.”
“We are the only hope for the Hive!” Vicky yells. “Without us, our entire species will die!”
“It doesn’t have to be like this though!” you counter. “There has to be another way!”
“You know there isn’t!” the twins growl.
“Yes there is! I can still save you all! Just let me-“
“GGGRRRRAAA!!!” Mongo roars as he charges straight at you, his anger overwhelming him.
Well, so much for diplomacy
As you brace for impact, suddenly a giant hoof comes from the side right on top of Mongo, pinning him.

ErisedtheInkMoth’s Comment
“How are you still alive and moving you stupid brown mutt?!”
“Huh?” you, the Knights and the changelings gasp out as Kersey keeps stomping on Mongo who grunts.
“Die! Die! Why won’t you die?!”
“What the tartarus has gotten into him?” Grey asks aloud.
One last trick… Erised’s strained words come to the knights. I told you we’d leave Mongo to him.
“Why are you so durable!” Kersey shouts as he keeps stomping the changeling captain. From his perspective, he sees Mongo as a Brown blur with an annoying voice taunting him.
"Hey fatty!" the brown illusion over Mongo chants as it bends over in the crater and shakes it’s rear end.
"Look at my butt! WOOOOOO-OO-OOO!"
“STOP TALKING!!!”
With this distraction, the rest of the Knights pounce upon the remaining changelings as they start defending themselves.
Meanwhile, the real Brown Dog finally wakes up and looks flabbergasted at Kersey stomping the living daylights out of Mongo, "Get your stupid butt out of my face!"
“Okay, I’m confused, what did I miss?” he asks Solarkness.
“Idiocy, the same as usual. Now let’s finish this!” he growls as he pounces into battle.
PuzzlingFrost’s Comment
After a couple more stomps, Mongo growls and punches Kersey’s hoof.
“AGH! That hurt you son of a-“
The changeling then dodges and weaves between his legs and grabs Keresy's tail and with some struggle judo throws the kaiju pony onto a nearby building.
He then turns his attention back to you with hatred in his eyes. He then rushes forth and takes a swing at you, but you bust out Second Law and fire, only for the recoil of the air to send you flying back.
HOLY CRAP! I knew he was stronger, but geeze. How the buck am I supposed to beat him?
We have to take this stupid stone off and then we’ll stand a chance! Selena answers with anger and conviction. Thankfully, the giant Kersey inadvertently saves your bacon once again.
"I'M GONNA HEADBUTT YA!!" he yells as he smashes his head against the changeling, who braces himself and is pushed backward, creating a line in the dirt as he gets pushed back.
M-Maybe I won’t have to if these guys prevail…but only Sin can take this off, it’s bound to my chitin.
You then see Biff blasting Snap Drake and Changer, while Rutherford is thrown into Silver by Vicky’s telekenisis and Tannen is bitten by Solarkness. You lend your support by creating an ice ball and shooting it into the fray.
Kersey and Mongo are still tussling as Mongo jumps up and uppercuts Kersey in the jaw making him stumble.
“NYAGH! I’m going to tear your head off!” he shouts.
Damnit! I can’t make him fight any better! Erised growls in frustration, keeping the illusion.
“Just insult some piece of crap blockbuster movie and he’ll go off the wagon, because chances are he’ll love it” Snap Drake suggests.
Hmm…
From Kersey’s point of view, the Brown Mongo says,
“Suicide Squad was the worst bucking movie I’ve ever seen!”
“It’s underrated and fun! AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!” the pony with no taste yells as he doubles his efforts, and is able to grab ahold of Mongo and slam him over and over again against the ground.
While that battle wages, you and the other knights start actually making progress, the number of grunts no longer in the hundreds. Still, the dome around the city has not changed.
“Come on Grandbuggy, what’s taking so long?” you groan as you are thrown by Vicky into Aqua.
In The TARDIS
“Come On Doctor! What’s taking so long?!” Grandbuggy calls out over the monitor, but the Doctor isn’t answering.
The TARDIS now sits in the middle of the town square, and every captured and injured civilian is inside, waiting to set off the new barrier signal. The only problem is, the Doctor isn’t responding.
“Do you think something happened Grandbuggy?” Nightshade asks in concern.
Instead of answering her, Grandbuggy tries again.
“Doctor! Get your keister into gear, we have all the civilians…” he then looks to Mia and Jack. “We have all the Civilians right?”
“Yes, there’s no other Non-Changeling life scans besides the Knights and Aqua out there,” Jack responds.
“And ever since that giant showed up and Erised walked out the door, we were able to make sure without getting attacked,” Mia adds.
Grandbuggy just grits his teeth.
“Doctor! Please respond!”
“Q-Quick Fix…”
“Doctor?” Grandbuggy says startled hearing the whispered, frantic speech.
“Doctor, what’s going on? Where’s the barrier at?”
“You’re going to have to give me time, I’m going to have to circle to each and every relay point now,” he responds.
“What? What happened to the Buffalo support?” Nightshade asks.
“The Buffalo, she beat them all herself. Little Strongheart and I managed to hide, but not before she entered. She’s in there with you all and she’s heading right towards Bugze!”
“Who’s She?” asks Nightshade hearing the strain in the Doctor’s voice.
Grandbuggy meanwhile has a grim expression on his face.
“So she is chosen…” he then looks to Jack and Mia and Nightshade.
“Jacky Boy, You’re with me! Mia, Nightshade Protect the civilians! My grandson needs help!” he yells as the two rush out the door.
“Grandbuggy Wait!” Nightshade calls out before looking to Mia.
“What’s going on? Why’s Grandbuggy spooked? Who’s she?”
“If I had to guess, their linked Shell Commander has arrived, and she’s more powerful than we suspected,” Mia surmises.
“Shouldn’t we help them?” asks Nightshade.
“We have to make sure the barrier goes up Nightshade, and we still have to protect everyone here in case something goes wrong.”
“D-Do you think her arrival will change anything all that much?” Nightshade tempts.
Back with You
With Mongo Distracted, and the Knights all grouped together, the fight with the twins and Vicky has proven to much easier. Kersey’s rampage, and the opportunities taken by the knights has knocked their grunt force down to fifty.
Vicky, Biff and Tannen are all bruised and battered and sweating, the strain of the fight catching up with them. Their troops surround them and each of the changeling’s has but up a barrier around themselves, aside from Mongo who is still sparring with Kersey.
You and the Knights stand surrounding the barrier, panting and bruised and battered as you walk up and annonce.
“All of you, Give Up! Your army is gone, your food source is gone, you’ve lost!” you yell at them in conviction.
Panting, they look at their remaining troops and back to you.
“How could this have happened?!” Vicky wails in anguish.
“We were supposed to save our Queen,” Biff mutters.
“We were supposed to save our Hive,” Tannen laments.
“We were supposed to save our entire species…”
“How…how could a bunch of weirdos beat us?” Vicky sniffles. “Why have you done this to us again?!” she accuses you.
“Guys…I’m sorry for what I did back in the cave. You bullied the tartarus out of me when we were kids, but you didn’t deserve to die, and you still don’t. Please, just give up, give up this whole stupid plan. Work with me and we can find a better way of saving the Hive...” you plead with them.
“W-We…” Vicky starts as she looks pleadingly to Biff and Tannen who both seem conflicted on what to do.
Suddenly the three of them are encased in a green glow as their eyes start to glow brightly as well. And suddenly, the fear and confliction leave their faces.
“What the?” you gasp as you look above them and see…
“Sin?!” you yell out in alarm.
Her whole body is glowing green, even her eyes are glowing pure green…and tears are trickling out of her eyes.
Suddenly she turns her head towards the battling Giants, and speaks with Chrysalis’s voice.
Kersey’s Comment
“Captain Mongo! Stop Screwing around and take him out!”
Mongo’s form then becomes shaded in green as well, and if possible, it seems he bulks up even more. The glowing changeling braces himself then charges full-force at Kersey.
“Since when did you get so tough you worthless mutt?! Then again it’s typical for someone so stupid to throw themselves at -*CRAAAACK* BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
Mongo effortlessly charges right through Kersey's right foreleg shattering the bone and knocking the giant pony into a building, collapsing the structure as Kersey clutches his broken front limb and howls in pain.
“Holy Balls!” Brown Dog yells.
“We gotta fat buck down, we gotta fat buck down!” Grey yells in alarm.
“What?! Where did that come from?!” you ask in alarm as you see Mongo stand up and look victorious over at Sin/Chrysallis before leaping into their barrier, landing next to Vicky.
“Wait, was that the stupid Queen’s voice?” asks Kichi.
The Queen! I feel her presence! Erised groans in shock.
“Guess that answers that Question!” Changer growls looking at the new foe.
"Kersey! Buddy, are you Okay?” asks Brown Dog in alarm as he runs off to check on the fallen giant.
“No I’m not!” Kersey pants, with tears in his eyes. “You’re still talking!” he groans as he slams his unbroken leg down on the Diamond Dog, pinning him to the ground.
“Oh for-REALLY?!” Brown Dog groans from under the hoof.
“Yes! If I'm gonna die, I'm taking you with me you bitch!"
“I’m a Dude you freaking moron!”
Fireheart1945’s Comment
While those idiots tussle, you look up at Sin/Chrysallis who lands in front of her troops and asks you in a hurt voice.
“Why?...Why have you forsaken us?”
You can’t tell which one of them is speaking. It might be both.
“I haven’t forsaken you! I told you from the beginning that I would help, BUT NOT LIKE THIS!” you declare.
“W-We just wanted to save our kind. Our friends, our family…” her eyes then glow even fiercer “Our Queen! But you’ve ruined all of that!!!” she shouts.
She looks around at the measly number of troops left, the surrounding empty town, and the bruised and panting Knights.
“No numbers, no love, no power…there’s no chance now…”
“Sin, Chrysalis! Both of you! Just calm down! Let’s all just calm down, you can take this evil trinket off of me, and we can find another way. I can still help…”
“Don’t bother boyo, she’s already given up hope,” Grandbuggy says as he walks up behind you, Jack in tow.
“YOU?!!! But…You…”
Grandbuggy sighs, “Chrysalis…please don’t do what you’re thinking. I beg of you…”
“YOU’VE DOOMED US ALL!!! We just wanted our freedom! Our lives! All we needed was this town's love and you took that from us!” she shrieks in Chrysallis’s voice.
“Why? Why do you hate us so much?”
“For the love of Luna, just think. Take this disk off, and give me my powers! You never needed to do any of-“
“But if we are to die, then we will make your victory a hollow one!” She then looks to the remaining troops.
“Soldiers! Give to your commanders and we will avenge this day! Your Queen demands it!”
The remaining grunts all salute before they start pouring their magic directly into the five leaders, making them grow brighter and brighter.
“NO! WAIT! STOP!” you yell, but they don’t listen.
“By the gods,” Silver mutters and Candy shivers.
“That’s not good,” Kichi adds.
“What? What’s happening?” asks Rutherford.
“They’re overloading them with magic!” Grandbuggy exclaims.
“Meaning?” asks Solarkness.
Meaning that if you thought they were tough before, they just went god tier! exclaims Erised.
“If they had this kind of power before, then why would they need CV?” asks Aqua.
“Because this kind of link, it’s an overload of the Hive and power of the chosen. Even with Plasmids, their bodies will only last so long with that power. It’s suicide!” you declare in anguish.
“We Give Our Lives For Hive and Queen!” the four of the five Officers say in Legion Unison as the rest of their troops collapse after spending their mana.
“Sin! Vicky! Mongo! Biff! Tannen! You don’t have to do this!”
“You’ve already killed us twice 9001,” they say as all of their eyes glow green.
“You have ensured the death of the Changelings, and for that you must suffer!”
Then from each of their mouths, even Mongo’s, comes Chrysallis’s voice.
#$%@&...I will share my suffering with you... she says in a creepy, stalkerish manner.
Then from Vicky’s hoof a massive bubble of telekenisis knocks all of you backward.
“KNIGHTS! TO ME!” you command as you reach into your inventory.
“Boy, we gotta go, the Doc is working on the barrier as we speak, we gotta go!”
“NO! If we go, those five will die for sure. They’re so brainwashed that they don’t care that the power will kill them. They all think they’re doomed.”
As the Knights (Sans Giant and Diamond Dog) rally to you, you say.
“We have to go all out now. If we don’t stop them, they’ll die, and more than likely we will too.”
“Wait, you want us to kick their flanks full out now to…save them?” asks Changer in confusion.
"Yes! NO ONE IS DYING TODAY!” you say as you bring out the Jet Stream Sword.
“How are we going to do that? They’re way OP now!” asks Aqua.
“Yeah, well now I’m about to get serious,” you say as you buzz your wings, making the sword vibrate. “I’ll take Mongo, the rest of you try like Tartarus to bring the others down!”
“That sword will not save you @#$%" Chrysalis says as the five of them calmly walk towards your group.
“No, but this will!” you declare as you bring the sharp edge of the blade to your chest.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" you scream in anguish as you slice through your chitin underneath the disk, causing it and a lump of your flesh to fall off.
BUGZE! What were you thinking! Selena cries out in alarm as the others all give you weirded out looks, and the five changelings scowl.
I was thinking I’d do what was necessary, you think as you hold your gaping midnight blue blood splattered chest. You can scold me later, but first let’s do this!
…As you wish.
As the cloak starts to form around you Grandbuggy gives you a worried look.
“Boy! That was stupid. There’s a reason we didn’t just cut that off ya. That wound won’t be able to heal right and…”
“It’s Okay Gramps,” you say as you place a hoof on your Grandbuggy’s shoulder. “I’ll be fine, I’ll suffer later. Right now…”
Your cloak then reaches Stage 2.
“I have to save them…”
You then rush forth towards Mongo and lift him with your tails as you launch the two of you away from the others.
“Hmmph! You heard him ya idjits! ATTACK!” Grandbuggy orders.
You Are Fighting Mongo, the strongest of the group, who is even stronger than you at this moment, and you are wounded. The rest of the Knights have been left with the other Four Boosted Officers.
THIS WILL NOT BE EASY.
WHAT DO YOU DO?

Bugze realizes that he just cut a rather large chunk out of his chest very close to where his orichalcum scar is and screams in rage and pains bringing up to level 3 in the cloak.
I've got to go to work right now so I don't have time to type out my idea in full. But I'll just leave this out there for Bugze and Mongo's fight for anyone else to elaborate on.
Tokyo Ghoul: Kaneki vs Jason. But much more dramatic and less one sided.
Go!!!
Brown Dog don't worry about the whole keeping us waiting. I much prefer quality over quantity. Anyway with that said ON WITH THE SHOW!
(I think that will be my catchphrase)
Before you fight you look around and notice the changeling grunts are all looking tired and weak, as well as unhealthy pale.
"Aqua, Kichi, Erised, Solarkness take these grunts out of here if they get caught in the crossed fire they'll die!"
"Are you CRAZY?!" ,Erised yelled, "We just beat these idiots into submission and now you want us to save them?"
"As much as I hate to say it Bugze we can't afford to take these guys with us. If they wake up they will just attack everyone!" ,cried Aqua
"I AM NOT LETTING ANYLING DIE TODAY NO MATTER WHOSE SIDE THERE ON!" ,yelled Bugze as his eyes glowed angrily orange, causing most of the Knights to step back, "Just use the pods that they used for the ponies and stuff them in there if you have too!"
"Fine but don't expect me to be happy about it! Darn offender, making me beat them one minute and the next try and save them." ,Erised complained.
As they go off to take the injured and unconscious drones out of harms way they will be unavailable for most of the fight and you'll have to direct the fighting between you, the Knights, and the Hive Five (you gave them a team name) away from the injured changelings.
In spite of the pain of your new wound (which you attempt to heal), you engage Mongo. While your enemy is stronger, there is more to battle than strength alone. You use every means you can to avoid your enemy's attacks while trying to trip him up and give time for a plan to save everyone, including the changelings, to come up.
"Sigh, and this is giving me more reasons to think of the queen as crazy, and yet the others seems to be as crazy as the queen. She is not even in here, she is not sacrificing herself, and yet all the hive sacrifice for a battle that will not give food..." Mutters Kichi as he look around
Kichi was sure that they will not be able to maintain the power-up for a long time, so he mainly was searching for a place to wait until the rage mode dissapeared and they were weakened, after all he was not sure he could do too much in a fight.
"I wonder what is going to be the queen next plan? Auto-Destruct all the changelings to kill a bunny? Try to replace those heroes? Act as if she was reformed?" Asked Kichi to himself as he decided to maintain himself away, and with luck no one was going to notice him.
Bugze's Perspective
'Despite their new power, I now have to beat all of them faster than ever. You think to yourself.
You use the boost from the Cloak to power jump and cover the distance between you and Mongo. He takes a swing at you with his right hoof and you bring up one tail to block.
But his punch has much more force behind it than you thought and it sends you crashing into a building off to the side.
'Ghah... that was a lot stronger than I thought.
"Bugze!!!" Selena warns in alarm.
You open your eyes and see Mongo descending on you with green fire engulfing his right foreleg and a black, chitin-like heavy lance forming from the flames.
This immediately sends you up from phase 2 all the way to 4 and you push yourself up and move out of the way of the lance slamming down into the ground, causing an explosion of dirt. Mongo continues the assault and repeatedly stabs and swings at you while you evade and block with the tails, now strong enough to withstand his strength now that you're at a higher Cloak level. But only just barely.
You grit your teeth and merge your four tails into a concentrated mass and slam downward onto Monge, who blocks the massive impact and counters with another thrust. You block and backflip away from a follow-up swing, four tails uppercutting at the same time, Mongo blocks them as well. You follow up with rapid, single tail strikes from a distance but Mongo's defense with his lance deflects the blows.
Mongo moves in and slashes at you. You push back off the ground away from him with your tails, but his strike manages to not only cut through your cloak, but also cut into your stomach, causing a quick spurt of your blue blood. You grunt in pain but continue fighting.
Two tails swing from the right, Mongo blocks, two more he also blocks, but you manage to stab all four downwards on him from above, and you manage to cut past his chitin and Mongo falters for a moment in pain. Your attack landed but you were careful to not hit anything vital. You lift your tails up and Mongo takes a moment to take a breath before glaring at you in anger.
"HAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" He roars a battle cry as he charges with his lance aimed right for you.
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" You roar right back as all four tails lash straight out towards him.
Lance and tails meet between you both, with the tips of your tails wrapping around the lance's tip. You both struggle to overpower the other, Mongo with his lance, and you with the combined might of your four tails. But you both stop and leap back once it's clear you're both equal in strength.
You pant from the quick but intense bout, blood leaking from your wounds, but not enough to be too worried at this point. Mongo's glaring at you but he's showing signs of muscle spasms from the overload of magic coursing through his system.
'Damn it! He's almost hit his limit! I need to end this now!
"Bugze, please, you need to stop! You're hurt and I don't like how this is going. He managed to cut through the cloak!"
'NO! Selena, I can't. I can't let anyone else die. I have to finish this before it's too late.
"But... *sigh* a-alright."
Mongo snarls and steps forward.
"Here he comes!"
'I see it.'
Mongo takes a flying leap towards you and you do the same, both of you crying out before tails and lance meet again at the center point between you two.
And then it shifts to another fight between the other members of the Hive Five and the other Knights.
Just before the battle begins the Hive Five all begin to speak in a demonic voice
"YOU CANNOT STOP US TRAITOR. WE ARE THE STRONGEST. WE ARE THE SMARTEST. WE ARE THE QUEEN'S CHOSEN. WE ARE.."
"A pain in my rump!!!",yelled Brown Dog with a huff. You then plead with them,
"Yes you're the chosen" ,this gets the Hive Five to tilt their heads in confusion, "The QUEEN's chosen not the hives. You follow her orders and not do what's best for the hive."
"THE QUEEN KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR THE HIVE!! ,roared the Hive Five. Only for you too rebuttal in RCV with greater force,
"NO SHE DOESN'T!! IF SHE DID NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED!!! The Wedding was a disaster! She tried to replace an ALICORN! Those aren't common creatures for a reason!! Two of them control the movement of THE SUN AND THE MOON!!!! Plus she acted nothing like the pony she replaced! Making it easy for Twilight Sparkle to notice something was wrong! Even when she had all of Canterlot in her grasp, she allowed the PRINCESS OF LOVE to get close to her husband and recharge him with enough love magic to blast away! Just because Chrysalis didn't believe it would work! BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!! WE WERE ALL SCATTERED ACROSS EQUESTRIA MOST NOT EVEN ABLE TO CONTACT ONE ANOTHER IN INJURED STATES!! Even when most of the hive regrouped WHAT DID SHE DO??!! HUH?! SHE MADE AN EVEN LESS WELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN TO JUST GET REVENGE ON THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY! When she should have been looking for the remaining stragglers and give time to heal our wounds! BUT NOPE she couldn't let it go could she! COULD SHE!!
I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME CHRYSALIS! YOU CARED MORE ABOUT YOUR OWN PRIDE THEN YOUR WOUNDED STARVING AND LOST CHANGELINGS!!! Around 300 changelings missing and you didn't give a BUCK!! And now you've forced those 300 soldiers to attack a town with little to no command besides these five! Who you scraped together at the last minute and altered their bodies with Bucking Dangerous Plasmids and that dangerous amount of love magic stored into their bodies! We could of had PEACE! We could have made a deal with the ponies! We could have reasoned with them! But no we had to ATTACK THEM, making them fear and hate us! We can't feed off hate only love! Now we have an entire race of ponies wanting nothing more then to erase us off the planet BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T ADMIT THAT WE NEEDED HELP!!!!! I know I have made mistakes in the past and hurt others by doing so," ,you look up sorrowfully at the Five of them, "I may even make more mistakes in the future with my luck its a guarantee. But we can do better stop this senseless fighting and think of a better way to free you! Please don't make me have to hurt them!" ,you cry out tears falling down your face, not noticing the surprised looks on the knights faces. You wait for a answer.....you wait....and wait.....you're about to snap again when you hear laughing. Not a funny haha laugh, not child laughing, nor a fake laugh, this was the sound of someling who had lost their mind. The kind of laugh that sends shivers down even the most evil of monsters and strongest of heroes. The laugh of someone who didn't care who died nor who got in their way. The laugh of a mad mare,
"Heheheheh...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HA HA!!!!" You look up to see only Sin laughing. Even her other cohorts are looking at her in terror. You then hear Chrysalis's voice as if she were in front of you and not Sin.
"You think I don't care? Heheh... THEN YOU TRULY KNOW NOTHING OF THE CHANGELINGS OR OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THEIR QUEEN!!
Ponies and other creatures alike have hated our kind for centuries!! They would have never negotiated!!"
You plead out, "You don't know that!"
Chrysalis now having taken full control over Sin for this argument yells, "Ponies never change! Deep down inside they care for only one thing and one thing only no matter how hard they try to hide it! They only care for themselves! And you are no better! You're a hybrid! Half pony, half changeling and with that demon from the past in your head your not even that! You are not a changeling nor are you a pony! You're a freak and monster that doesn't belong anywhere! You have defied me long enough! From henceforth, YOU @$#!% ARE FOREVER BANISHED FROM THE HIVE!!! MAY YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES SUFFER FOR ALL TIME!!!" ,you swore you saw a single tear fall from Sin's eye. Before you could ponder that she blasts you with her magic marking the start of the battle.

As Bugze gets blasted, Rutherford Looks to the others on their side.
Rutherford: "Well She's completely lost it. I'll go after the Vicky. Who else is with me?"
AFTER A WHILE INTO THE BATTLE
Vicky throws Rutherford through a few walls and into Bugze, who was thrown by Mongo.
Rutherford: "Well. This could be going better. How are you holding up?"
Bugze: "Not to good. Even with the cloak, I'm not sure how long I can keep going. That said, I doubt the Chosen are going to last much longer either. *Grunts* The piece I cut out of me isn't really helping matters either."
Rutherford: "Alright don't move."
Bugze: "What?"
Rutherford takes a deep breath before covering you in a purple flame. Where you were expecting intense heat, you realize it feels warm and a bit relaxing. When the flames die down, you feel revitalized, like you are full of energy. Your chest, while tender, is no longer bleeding and shows a slight scar. Even your scar from the Orichalcum blade seems to have healed up some more.
Bugze: "What did yo-"
You see Rutherford panting hard looking like he's about to pass out.
Rutherford: *huff huff* "Man. You were seriously hurt weren't you? *huff huff* Go and stop them."
Bugze: "Are you going to be ok?"
Rutherford: "I'll be fine. I just need a few minutes to *huff* catch my breath. By the way. I don't think I'll be able to do another heal and recharge like that any time soon. Don't let it go to waste."
8269909
Kichi, Silver and Candy all stand before Sin, who they know is truly Chrysalis at the moment.
"I shall give you one last chance you three. Don't be like him, come back to us." She says with Sin's voice.
Erised and Changer stand a few meters behind the three changelings.
Erised just stared at Changer. "You seem too interested in Sin. What's really going on here?" He asked seriously.
Changer said nothing.
"Look. I don't know what you have with that Sin changeling, but if you go goody-two-shoes right now, then the only one I'll have any amount of respect for would be Grey, and I really don't think I'd like that."
Still no answer.
"...Well?!"
Changer then looked at Erised, his eyes flashing an all too familiar green quickly.
Erised looked at him in surprise for a second, before closing his mouth and nodding quietly in understanding.
"He was right you know." Kichi spoke up. "All the things he said. I agree with him. The invasion, the things it's done to our race... You can't ignore something like that Chrysalis."
"Even you must admit it." Candy said.
"No... It isn't true! The changelings have always lived that way!"
"And what's the problem with changing the way we live?!" Silver yelled. "It hasn't been working for us for years! So why keep doing it?"
"It is thr only way we lived! And it can be the only way."
"It doesn't have to be!" Kichi yelled.
Chrysalis growled. "Enough of this nonsense! I see you three won't be welcomed back, so I'll just have to KILL YOU LIKE HIM!"
In the back, Changer growled. "The Offender was right."
Erised looked over to him. "Hm?"
"If the Queen of Changelings had the capability to use this technique to make changelings stronger, they should have easily prevailed! The only ones in Canterlot that would have been able to take them on would be the princesses, and maybe top guards or powerful unicorns."
"...Are you mad they didn't invade Canterlot successfully?" Erised asked.
"To be honest, I could care less."
"Because you're a-"
"No, because it wouldn't affect me at all."
"So you're saying you're selfish." Erised asked.
Changer glared at him. "And having "friends" helped me out to much?"
Erised shook his head and Changer continued.
"I'm just saying the Queen is not fit to be a leader, that's all."
With Kersey and Brown Dog
While all the others face down the Knights and hear the arguments, the giant still won’t let the drunk up.
“Kersey for the love of Dogs, get off me, we got a lot more important crap to deal with.”
“No! This is better! We’ll all go out together, Don’t you just love a happy ending?!” Kersey pants stubborn in his own ways.
“Dude, they were pranks, I know you had an ant problem after putting mustard in your sheets but,”
“It’s not about that! How?! How could you be named the leader?! I was always meant to lead. I followed the ideals of Flag Burner, I handled the budget, but no, they put all of you on my level who couldn’t be forced to stay on track. And YOU. You somehow became their leader?!”
“Oh for Cripes Sakes man! This whole thing is impromptu, I just stood up and everyone followed suit, I didn’t plan it. And get your head out of your flanks dude, none of us were actually leaders!”
“Bullspit!” the giant growls. “Just because you ran around drinking with that stupid horn head doesn’t mean,”
“OH SHUT THE BUCK UP!!!” Brown Dog yells as he bites the soft frog of Kersey’s hoof, causing him to yelp and bring it off him.
“Motherbucker!” Kersey shakes his hoof.
“There are no Crimson Knights you idiot! We were all set up. All of us, even your fat ass were put in charge by the Changelings!”
“What?!” he roars. “That’s not true you lying sack of-“
“We were the lowest of the low, none of us had any business being leaders, and that’s why put us in charge. We were there front while they gathered power. They played us all like a two bit fiddle!”
“I’m Not Low! I am the smartest in this organization of-“
“WE’RE NOT AN ORGANIZATION! We never were!” he shouts. “We were just a bunch of idiots stuck together by fate.” He then starts walking towards the rest of the Knights who are engaged with the Officers. “Listen, you may be the biggest jackass I’ve ever had the displeasure of knowing. You’re an annoying, hateful, speciestic, sad excuse of a living being…But like it or not, we’re all in this together. SO SHUT YER BUCKING PIE HOLE!”
He then trots off to the rest of the knights, leaving behind the growling Kersey.
“Hey Man!” Snap Drake calls out as he sees the beaten up dog come his way. “Are you up for another fight good buddy?”
“I’ll be honest Snap, I’ve been better,” he says holding his ribs and looking at the officers and You in the distance fighting Mongo. “Let me guess, last stand type situation?”
“Eyup. Luckily, I brought the party favors,” Snap smiles and brings out his molotovs.
“Oh sweet!” Brown Dog calls out, takes the rag out of one and starts gulping the alcohol.
“Dude!” Snap calls in alarm.
“I’m injured, I need medicine!” the diamond dog exclaims.
During the fight, these events happen (Feel free to spice them up Everyone)
Grandbuggy Sexually Harasses Vicky which makes her Uber Mad.
Jack gets killed a few times, but since he can’t die he keeps getting back up.
Silver and Changer combine powers to become a skeleton warrior.
The Knights do a Powers Combined Type Attack.
At The TARDIS
POV Change: Nightshade
You watch the battle unfold on the monitor with bated breath.
Daddy…Mommy…Even with the cloak you’re not winning. Please don’t lose yourself
You then see all the other knights attempting to hold off the others, but they aren’t winning either.
“Oh…Mia! Mia can’t you do something? I can stay behind and put up the barrier while you can-“
“N-NO!” Mia stammers, causing you to look to her. Her eyes are frightened as she shakes slightly as she watches your dad battling the big guy.
“Mia?” you ask.
“S-Sorry. I just…I just don’t want to go out there,” she admits looking away from the screen.
You look from her to the monitor and back.
Oh right…the Nightmare… You remember what Daddy told you. She may not have any memory of the other world, but fear is universal.
“I do want to help Nightshade but…I’d heard of your father’s powers before, but even just seeing them on screen they…they frighten me. They frighten me so much, and I can’t explain why,” she shakes as she goes pale.
You walk over to her and place a hoof on her leg in comfort.
“It’s OK. I’m afraid of his cloak too,” you admit as you see your dad go into Phase 3.
“I’ve seen it at its absolute worst…I hope that he and mom can keep it in control,” you admit, dreading an appearance by Phase 4.
POV Change: Bugze
Eventually it gets to the point where you can’t win, no matter what. But in the sky, you see the dome change to blue.
You look to the Crimson Knights and yell.
“GO! Get to the TARDIS!!!”
“What about you?!” asks Grandbuggy.
“I’ll buy you some time, just go!”
And they all make for safety.
Bugze? Asks Selena in concern.
Even if I fail, at least those lot will survive…But I can’t give up on these guys!
“Vicky! Mongo! Biff! Tannen! Sin! Please, you have to cut the connection to the Hive! You’ll die if you don’t!”
“We will die anyway, thanks to you,” the twins accuse.
“Don’t pretend like you care otherwise,” Vicky accuses. “This is what you wanted!”
“All of us dead…all of us broken…” Sin says sadly.
“NO! I’m sorry! Please! I don’t want you to die! I know you can never forgive me for leaving you in that cave, but please believe me!”
“How can we?! We know you hate us!” Vicky growls.
“After all we did to you, your vengeance has come,” Sin punctuates.
“I…I FORGIVE YOU!!!” you yell as you slam yourself to your knees making them take a step back.
“I forgive the bullying, the teasing, even the fights. I forgive you all,” you shout. “I forgive you…please, please forgive me and live!”
As you look upon them, you see…confliction upon their faces.
“Y-You forgive us?” asks Sin.
“How?” asks Vicky as Mongo tilts his head.
“Why?” asks the twins.
Their looks of confliction suddenly become immobile as Sin stands up straighter.
“Please…Chrysalis. Please let them go…” you beg before the five.
“It’s too late for that #$%@&. You’ve sealed all of our fates. The least we changelings can do is die together as a species!” she growls.
“Why?! Why do they have to die?! You never wanted deaths!” you yell. “You went out of your way to change things from the way your mother did them! You told me when you were little that no one would have to die!”
“AND I WAS A FOOL TO THINK SO!” she yells as Sin shoots out an arc of lightening directly into your injured chest.
“Mother was right. This is a cruel cruel world, and weaker emotions make you soft. My mercy upon you has killed the hive. Our last hope for freedom has been exterminated. We will starve to death thanks to the hypocritical ponies. As Queen, I will at least avenge our race before I perish!”
AOT spoilers in the vid below.
"He just wont stay down!" You think in anger as Mongo keeps tanking your attacks like an unbreakable wall.
Each time you attack nothing happens. Nothing goes your way. Mongo never stops trying to kill you, and in the end it's going to kill him!
You knew that at any moment they would be gone forever.
You have to stop all of this. Right here, right now!
Mongo knocks you back with a strong headbutt, sending you flying through several buildings and rocks.
You have no choice.
EXPLOSION
In the last place you were seen, all the debris and rocks around you was knocked far away from an explosion the color of midnight.
You were the source of the explosion of which was magic. And you were in the middle of it, levitating.
Surrounding you was glowing midnight shadowy magic, but you didn't pay attention to that.
You felt something happen to your teeth.
You felt the longs tusks jutting out.
You noticed you were now taller and larger.
The bat wings on your back felt light.
And the horns forming on top of your head were heavy.
"This is our first time..."
...We're lucid.
Through the magic surrounding you, you see Mongo about to act.
"This is all my fault..." You say out loud.
You heard the battle noises of the knights... and your grandbuggy.
"If I only knew what I would have caused I... I... wouldn't have become... this half-assed piece of shit bug I currently am!"
B-Bugze! Y-you're body!
You had one more sense of feel behind you, making it six.
"But it's not too late! I can't change what happened in the past but I can act right now!" You yell.
You bring your forehooves up and they shake violently once...
"I only have one choice!"
Selena watches and listens quietly in shock.
"I have to face my actions! I have to deal with them!"
...as claws appeared.
"And as Bugze, as a father, as a role model... I have to achieve my duties to the bitter end!"
Bugze! Are we doing it?! Now?! Right here?!
"That's right! We're going to end this... right here, right now!"
Suddenly, thunder crashes and lightning strikes you above. The magic around you bursts, making everything around you fly away, and you drop to the ground. You use your tails to propel forward, right towards Mongo.
"I will save them! All of them!"
COMMENT IN PROGRESS
8277556
Here's something to spice up the drama (although it can be saved for later).
"PSYCH!" Vickey, Biff, Tannen, say as all three of them and Mongo simultaneously strike you sending you smashing through a trio of buildings.
"Wh-"
"Nice speech there roach! Real Oscar-worthy."
"But did you really think we'd give a buck about what our lessers think of us!?"
"For all your so-called power, you're still that weak stupid half-breed outcast we'd wipe our hooves with."
"Darn it! Stop letting the Queen control you! FIght i-" you protest only to get cut off by Mongo smashing into you.
"The Queen never forced any of this on us!"
"We chose this power!"
"Wh-"
"It's the way things have always been for out kind."
"Changeling are the apex predators."
"And ponies are prey!"
"And now WE are the supreme-apex-es!"
As Biff, Tannen, and VIckey continue ranting while beating on you, their rantings become more power-drunk while Sin seems... concerned?
"Once we destroy you." Biff begins.
"We'll feed on your power." Tannen finishes.
"And we will be changeling GODS ruling alongside the Queen!"
==========
As the fight goes badly with the super-changelings due to your emotional baggage holding you back. Everything seems to be hopeless until,
"LET'S SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!"
"Wh-" you turn towards that yell only for a Bowler Hat-covered hoof to smash into your face hard enough to knock you through a floor into the corner of a basement.
"There. That should give us some privacy."
You look up to see Grandbuggy putting his Bowler back on his head as he walks towards you. You find yourself both in the corner of the basement quite aways from the hole in the ceiling.
"Grandbuggy? Wh-"
...[In Progress, but it's Grandbuggy giving Bugze a more forceful "Nut Up" speech over how Bugze forgot the conversation they had back in the TARDIS about how Bugze was letting his guilt and emotional baggage hinder him]

Just want to say that the plot is nearly literally telling us to make Bugze save the Hive Five and befriend them.
(I'm not one of the two who disliked. FYI)

Everyling in the are stops dead in their tracks. They see float foward towards the hive five. The knights jaws dropped (Kersey looking at you in anger and fear) *In the Tardis* All the townsfolk are staring at the screen in shock. Nightshade looks worried while Mia...she fled to the bathroom the moment you appeared out of the explosion. She's a little under the weather. *Back to you* Your grandbuggy standing next to Jack and Aqua looks at you with worry and yet a hint of pride. All is quiet... until Vicky drops the town clock tower ontop of you when you weren't looking,
"HA! Take that you stupid half-ling all talk and...." ,only to be stopped when the debris blasts off you as you roar
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"...no bite?" ,she quivers. The debris on the ground begin to float towards you in a spherical formation as chanting and music come out of nowhere. You float down to the ground slowly. The debris following you. You set hoof on the ground and begin to slowly walk forward toward the hive five. Each step causing cracks in the ground. You leak off deadly pressure making the clouds above form in a hurricane fashion where you were at the eye of the storm. Your tails swinging lazily behind you. Your eyes leaking off purple smoke. Your Nobody Cloak flowing majestically in the wind behind you like a cape. The tips of your new horns a sickly red. You stare at the ground the whole time you walk forward. Only when your ten feet away from the now cowering Hive Five, you look up at them. A visible green slit in your orange eyes. *At the changelings prison* Chrysalis can only stare in horror at what stands before her through the eyes of Sin.
"What has happened to you my bug? How far have you come in power as this demon. You never had green slits before! How are you this strong! I can feel your power here! What are you!?" She screamed she yelled to herself not using Sin. *Back at the action* You say nothing. You take one step forth...onto a banana peel....it goes as expected "YYAHHH HAH HA HOY!!!"
*crash* *bang* *smash* *boink* *clang* As little Nightshades twirl your head you hear a collective facehoof.
"DARNIT BUGZE!!!!" ,Selena and suprisingly Sombra yell in your head.
"Ehh heh heh heh my bad?" you say before being charged by the Hive Five.
Your red and orange glowing eyes leaking off purple and red smoke, can't forget about Sombra.
Everything else, nice! But in my opinion, I would keep the pupiless eyes.
8281364
I thought the purple smoke alone was sombra's doing not selena's my bad derp
8281371
One eye could be purple or red for sombra and the other could be a more midnight sparkly color for Sel
8281373
Ooh I like that idea!
Dear lord these comments are awesome! I swear I'm getting hyped up from just reading them!
Sadly I can't think of too many ideas, fight scene's ain't my thing you see. But still....
When the dome is under the Doctor's control, Bugze sacrifices himself to let the others escape into the TARDIS. It goes something like this:
"Come on Bugze get it! Your the last one so ge-"
"No. Leave now!"
"B-Bugze?"
"If I can't save these guys, then I'm sure as hell saving you all. Go, I'll keep them distracted."
"No, dammit I'm not going to let you kill yourself just to save us! Get in the TARDIS Bugze!"
"Tell Grandbuggy that I love him, and to take care of Nightshade for me. But if he makes her a pervert I will hunt his ass."
"Bugze shut up and get into the damn TARDIS!"
"To those Crimson Knights...tell them change is always a option, even for them."
"Bugze I swear to Celestia get in the TARDIS NOW!"
"Tell Nightshade, tell her daddy is proud of her. That she is the greatest little ball of joy he ever had, and to never make the same mistakes he did. The he loves her so much that she will never be alone."
"Bugze...please."
"Go...and see ya on the other side Aqua."
"...."
*TARDIS leaves*
Could add more for other characters if you guys want
So how was that? Too much? Eh I tried.
Well, let's get this party started!
------
Symbiosis
“Erised,” Grey calls.
In his head, Erised irritatedly echoes, “What is it?”
“If you can see what we see, can it also go the other way around?”
“Yes…” Erised confirmed catiously. “But what is your plan?”
Grey sighs. “Let’s...give this ‘trust’ a shot.”
“Trust?” The word left a sense of distaste in Erised’s mouth, even though he didn’t physically say it. “You know this isn’t how we operate.”
“Not like we have a choice anymore. Besides, it works for Nightmare Moon and the Hooded Offender.”
“Hmmph. Fine. But whatever mess you make, you’ll clean it up, janitor.”
The grey-brown pony just grins sadistically. “Naturally.” He huffs up a box of detergent, the biggest one yet, and called out to Rutherford, “Hey, water hose! Spray this all over in the mist. We’re making them all go blind.”
What?” Rutherford frowns. “But how can we see?”
“Erised got us covered.”
---------
Aquarius
“So, you know Bugze, too.” Aqua approaches Sin from the side. Battered and matted with tufts of tangled fur, the water bender has seen better days. However, nothing has yet to dim the brimming resolve in her eyes. “Honestly, my partner seems to have it with all the ladies.”
Sin narrows her eyes in recognition. “Your that mercenary during Crimson Hearth's Warming.”
“So you knew me. Not my best moment, but yeah.” Aqua briefly chuckles before turning serious, her horn glowing slightly. Sin widens her stance in turn. “But enough of the chit chat. My friend is hurt, leaking blood, and I’m pissed. Sorry sweetie, but I won’t be holding back anymore.”
“I don’t intend to either. But no worries.” Sin’s eyes went cold. No anger and hesitation: A drone soldier to the end. “It’ll be quick.”
A spark of Sin’s jagged horn is the only warning Aqua gets before she erects a water barrier as electricity rushes to meet her.
Sin closes her eyes. “It’s no good.”
Booom!
The electricity enters the barrier and pierces right through, leaving an explosion of hot sparks in its wake!
“Oh, I forgot to mention: I’m the worst match up for you.”
Sin’s eyes snaps open in shock. Surrounded by water sparking from the left over electricity, Aqua is still fine, untouched with a smug grin on her face. And a demolished building continued to collapse behind her, the wood burnt from the immense impact of Sin's attack. But that’s not where Sin aimed.
Chrysalis’s Chosen tenses. “How?”
“All I have to do is conduct the electricity into going towards the easiest path. Water just happens to be the best path to go.” The waterbender’s sudden glare takes Sin aback. “I don’t know much about your history with Bugze, but if you’re going find redemption, you’ll have to pay in pain. Just like how I did.”
“Redemption?” Sin’s eyes breaks her cold visage and casts down, conflicted, before returning to the proud soldier she is. “No. I’ve gone too far to stop now.”
"So you acknowledge you're doing something wrong but refuse to make amends." Aqua shrugs and says, “Your choice,” before sighing sadly. “If
only you weren't so loyal. We might've been on the same side. Well, let’s do this.”
“Yes. Let’s.”
And so, an aura of their respective elements emerges, Sin with her coat of lightning and Aqua with her swirling rose of water. They both dove forwards and clash.

A Piece of the Changeling Throne
Biff and Tannen’s chaotic outpour of fire and ice and rage sends their opponents into a frenzy. It’s during this that a Crimson Knight is caught.
“Aaargh!” A direct hit of a blast of ice leaves Solarkness immobile, his joints freezing in place. He’s free to be dealt with in any way the Twins please.
Noticing this, Rutherford, abruptly stops flinging mist over the battlefield. His eyes turn to pinpricks at the sight of his vulnerable friend. “Solar! Noooo!”
“H-hehe!” As the timberwolf struggle against the ice, he grins morbidly as the Twins approach with killing intent. “N-no prob. Not as cold as a windigo…!”
It’s too late. The twins fires as one! Fire and ice, supercharged by the link given by the Queen. Their magical energy has been been condensed in union into this killing blow. Little is capable of stopping their magic before, and now, boosted, nothing can stop it. Nothing can block it. Nothing can stop the timberwolf’s untimely fate. Without a doubt, Solarkness is going to die---
There is the sound of shattering glass.
The flame and ice disperses.
And then silence.
The Twins’s jaw drops at the sight before them.
In front of Solarkness and in his defense, Kichi stands firm with a hoof outstretched.
His eyes are closed. No sane fighter in the battlefield would close off one of their most reliable sense. But it was until the twins felt their eyes start to burn that they understood why. Rutherford has finished the job.
But the most flabbergasting thing isn’t that. He stopped their magic, their combined might strengthened by the magic of the hive, and he dissipated it as though it is nothing! How?! How can it be?!
The answer is the very thing that Bugze has cut off from his chest. In Kichi's outstretched hoof is the piece of the changeling thrown.
A grin writes itself in Kichi’s face. “Bring it on, freaks!”
----------
Bugze
“Determined, the winds of change in my left.” Your bare hoof bursts into immense, cycling winds. It is airbending, reaching new heights by your sixth tail. “And would so kindly, fires of destruction in my right.” Your Power Glove lights up as hot as the desert sun. Your blood curdles with life, brimming with warmth.
You slam both, and a roar of unrelenting flame emerge as it gluttonously eats the air fed to it. The unnatural heat can be felt by everyone around them. To change is to burn down the old you to reforge a new one, tempered and guided by the flow of the wind. And this...
“This is my answer!” you roar, and a catalyst of air tunnels between your hooves and a flame thrower erupts out, massive and undaunting.
The Crimson Knights and the other Changeling Chosen barely have the time to shy away as it spans a great portion of the wide Appaloosan street. Mongo, however, doesn’t run. He charges straightforward, the flames themselves not at all flinching him and instead splitting from his bulk and leaving a wide open space untouched by flame behind him. Swiftly, his entire mass reaches the hose of the attack and stomps where you are.
But you’re already gone.
Mongo only feels a shadow hovering over him before you slam all six tails over his head.
He grunts as his legs buckle, but he pushes off the tails as though it's no big deal. With little remorse, he lunges to your airborne self.
“Tch!” You hold fast with your tails, and swing around to avoid it with a fit of airbending.
When you hop to keep away, suddenly, a tug is felt by the tails. In Mongo’s grip are those same nightmare tails. You’re trapped! As Mongo lifts an enormous hoof to squash you for the bug you are, you instantly whip out your Power Glove. And point it at the ground beneath him.
“Would you kindly burn!” A pillar of flame erupts out, throwing Mongo off balance and his hoof lands right beside you, and sunk into the ground before exploding in dust. You follow it up by lifting with a flaming hoof of your own. “Falcon---” And throwing it. “Punch!” At this moment, Mongo flinches and his face titls under the force. Without hesitation you plow right on through! “Flaming Psycho Crusher!”
“Graaah!” Finally, Mongo is hurt.
You bounce out of your Psycho Crusher right before you get bearhugged out of rage, only to leap back in with a sling launch of your tails once you hit ground, wrapping your hooves in them. Mongo gladly meets your charge. You swing left, he swings right. Contact.
A shock waves so immense that dust flies in all directions! It’s soon followed by a series of more as you both began to trade blows.
