A Canterlot Invasion: Love Bomber

[Conner]

I woke up sometime later as a changeling was spitting wax onto one of my feet. I tried to stand, but it hissed at me, forcing me to shrink back. Once it was satisfied with its work, it moved to stand over by Chrysalis. I quickly checked my waxen bindings and saw that it had only gooped my front paws together. I looked over at our ponies to see that they had been corralled over by the altar. Rainbow was swaying from side to side, looking asleep on her hooves. Oh, they dragged us back to the wedding hall, huh.

I ignored Chrysalis' gloating to take in the changes to the room. The ponies had been taken away, and the decorations were in tatters. The biggest change, in size and importance, was the giant cocoon containing Princess Celestia.

More changelings came into the room carrying a bound Abes between them. "My Queen, we've captured Luna's dog."

Chrysalis nodded. "Very good. What of that monster?"

"It is on its way." The 'ling paused, tilting its head. "Ah, my Queen? It will take some time to bring it. We are giving it the same precautions as Celestia." The other drones deposited Abes next to me. Whatever they had done to him, he was out cold.

"I am aware." Chrysalis frowned. "I did give the order."

"Yes, my Queen." The changeling bowed. "However, we are having to pull changelings from other districts to supply enough wax."

"A small price to pay to contain it. Still, make sure it is done quickly. How is Carver?”

“Wingless, but otherwise fine, physically. I cannot say for his mental well being.” The drone answered. “He is currently on his way back to the hive with the first group of the wounded.”

“Good. I must reward his bravery once this is all done.” Chrysalis dismissed the drone. She stood by the altar, her eyes half lidded as she communed with her hive.

Another group of drones entered the hall dragging a thin shelled cocoon filled with water and a wax muzzled Zann. The fire type was walking under his own power, but he kept his gunked up racing leg off of the ground. A drone broke off to report to the queen.

<<Pssht, Zann!>> I waited until he was looking at me. <<Where's Lulu, did she escape?>>

Zann shook his head and tapped the water filled cocoon. Lulu's face briefly formed out of the liquid. <<No, hun, they got me...>> Her voice was distorted by the wax.

<<Where's Leo?>>

<<I'm afraid I don't know.>> She sighed. <<She stayed behind to cover us. We had to lead some foals to safety.>>

<<Mmmf hmf mm, hfmm?>> Zann tried.

<<...What?>> I asked.

<<I think...>> Lulu began, looking at Zann to make sure she had things right. <<If Leo was caught before us, why isn't she here already?>>

<<Ymf! Hmmf eh mfhmf!>>

A drone smacked Zann over the head. "Shut up!"

<<Hmfhmf!>>

The drone scowled at him before shooting me a dark look. "We should cocoon that one too." He grumbled to his companion. "Y'know, before it destroys the palace?"

"We're fine." The other drone shook her head. "Intel says that these things' powers are different for each individual. So long as we keep its front legs bound, then it can't do its demented land dolphin thing."

"But-" The first drone was cut off as another swarm of drones entered the room.

This group carried Villhiem and Yomega in, their limbs fully restrained. Yomega's eyes were fully dilated and he was staring around at things only he could see, but he was otherwise fine. Villhiem, on the other paw, looked like shit. All of his leaves were brown and wilted and his fur looked like dry wood.

<<Are you alright, dear?>> Lulu asked.

Villhiem tiredly nodded at her. <<I'll be fine after some sun and the venom wears off.>>

<<Is->> My voice cracked. <<Is Yomega gonna be okay?>>

<<I think that the venom is like a hallucinogen for him.>> Villhiem sighed. <<He keeps staring at things and saying weird shit.>>

<<Oo~oh.>> Yomega chose that moment to speak up. <<She married here a hundred times. He saw the last, and she agreed! Ooo! A butterfly!>>

<<Case in point.>> Villhiem sighed.

Another swarm arrived at that time. This time, they carried the Duo amongst them. They were also bound in wax, the drones carrying Cy flicking their wings as electricity snapped off of them every now and then. I noticed that Vince's front legs were encased like mine.

I compared the amount of restraining wax on everyone else to mine. <<I kinda feel insulted.>> I murmured.

<<Why's that>> Cy groaned.

<<I've only got my front legs restrained.>> I grumbled. <<It's like they think I'm harmless.>>

<<Just means that you can escape and group up with Leo.>> Vince said, looking over the group. <<She did escape, right?>>

<<A plan within plan has been hidden in the plan.>> Yomega stared out into the garden. <<A plan needs to fail to set off another to fail so it can be achieved.>>

<<Is... Is Yomega okay?>> Cy asked.

<<Changeling venom is interacting with him weirdly.>> I explained.

<<It'll end here, ya know.>> Yomega wistfully sighed. <<It'll all end in a tree. Once the scattered pieces can be found, then the King will be in check. E-six, Pawn takes King!>> That earned him another bite and dose of venom. <<Was there always a temple here?>>

<<So, we give you a distraction, and then->> Cy started only to be cuffed by one of our guards.

"Next one that talks is getting bit." He warned. He pointed from another changeling to Cy. "You watch that one. It likes to zap things."

"Yes, sir."

“Sergeant?” Chrysalis called out.

“Yes, my Queen?”

“I have been receiving reports that our summons have been making some headway against the dragons and their summon. Round up some drones from the markets and lend your aid to the swarm fighting against the dragon guarding the castle’s side entrance. Flush out the ponies still in the castle once you’ve broken through.” Chrysalis ordered. “I want this castle fully secured before nightfall.”

“At once, my queen.” The drone that had been hitting us turned and flew out the balcony doors.

"My Queen!" A drone ran in from the hallway. "We have contained it!"

"Good, put it near the rest." Chrysalis smiled a sad smile. "I want it watched constantly. If it starts to wake up, put it back to sleep. I will kill it once we have total control of Canterlot."

"If I may, my queen," the drone cautiously began, "wouldn't it be safer to kill it now?"

"It would." Chrysalis allowed. "However, I plan on enchanting a message to send to every pony city and stronghold. I want to demoralize them by killing their best defenders and the monster of a summon they brought against us in front of them." She sighed. "It'd be better if I could show them the end of the invasion to them as it happens, then I could just kill it now, but…’

A group of changelings carefully entered the room. Four of them kept their horns trained on the large cocoon that four others were levitating between them. The cocoon itself was as large as the eight drones combined. There was a small shape floating within it, but I couldn't make it out yet. Every drone it passed hissed and spat at it.

They carried it over towards us, setting it down nearby. The drones that were carrying it stepped back to join the others in pointing their horns at it to form a ring of eight.

<<Oh Arceus...>> Vince moaned. <<They got Leo.>>

<<There's no way Leo could be this summon they keep talking about.>> I looked over at the farm Eevee. <<Right?>>

<<Encased in chains.>> Yomega stated sagely. <<Bound in wax.>>

I ignored him and studied the cocoon. It took me a moment to separate the inner waxen supports and bindings from the captured body. Once I had done that, I could see the distinct silhouette of an Eevee.

Well, it's over. I mentally sighed turning my gaze to watch the Queen. I know that Leo said that the ponies pull through with a love bomb from Cadence, but she looks so weak. I don't think she can pull it off...

"So, what are you going to do about it."

Protect Fluttershy, of course.

"How? They'll kill you first."

I dunno... my ears dropped with my plummeting mood. I just wish that...

"Yes?"

Wait... I watched Twilight slowly make her way over to Cadence while Chrysalis was looking out over the city. I glanced at the drones around me, noting that they were all glaring at Leo's cocoon. I swallowed my fear and crept over to Fluttershy.

<<Fluttershy...?>> I whispered to her. <<There's... There's something I want to tell you... Before this is all over...>>

"Y-yes?"

"It's all over!" Chrysalis declared, glaring at Shining and Cadence. I hadn't noticed that Shining had been freed.

"Quick!" Twilight yelled. "Use your spell!"

"It's too late." Chrysalis boasted. "My changelings are already inside the city!" She dismissed Shining after seeing how weak his magic was and returned to the balcony.

"W-what did you want to say?" Fluttershy asked me, before gasping and staring at the royal couple powering up their spell. "Oh, my..."

I looked over at Chrysalis. She had apparently felt the build up of power and was charging a spell to fire at Cadence and Shining.

I took a deep breath, sat on my hunches and used my bound limbs to pull Fluttershy's head around to face me. I took a chance, and gave her a quick but deep kiss. <<I love you, Fluttershy.>> I confessed as I pulled away. <<I'm sorry.>> I broke into a hobbling run as Chrysalis and the royal couple fired their respective spells.

I felt myself growing lighter as I flung myself into the turbulent mana. Goodbye...

Conner, NOOOOOO!

[Loganic]

Holy...

[Herald of Opera]

Nice try, but this clearly ends in "your Conner evolved into Sylveon!" and not the thing you're trying to convince us it will. A member of the Pack dying would waste too much foreshadowing.

See above. 95/130 defenses are probably enough for something that only needed to disrupt rather than kill.

Sylveon time

Finally some acknowledgement of the other group at the wedding! YAAY!

[Black--Soul]

Great chapter

Hes going to pull a Team Rocket and get a high powered 'see you later'.

Pretty sure Leo caused more casulties than any other.

I feel sorry for the dead and crippeld Changelings since they basicly fight to have food and not starve to death...

[Master king]

This was a awesome build up chapter.

[Adenbadens]

"We're fine." The other drone shook her head. "Intel says that these things' powers are different for each individual. So long as we keep its front legs bound, then it can't do its demented land dolphin thing."

I’m just picturing it: Connor digging and attacking ‘Lings, constantly shouting and digging. Except to all the others he’s just saying “Eevee”, but they only catch him coming out of the ground shouting “EEEEEEE” before diving back down.

[PonyMTG]

I am SOOOO curious about what the statue in the guardan is and what will happen when it finally breaks.

[Frostgear]

Demented dolphin thing...yeah that is correct description of the dig attack.

...I will never get that image out of my head now

[CrAzY FaLcOn]

Sylveon, I choose you!

It's Discord. The first chapter says this was all his fault and he's a statue in the Canterlot Royal Gardens at this point in the timeline, so this almost certainly wasn't intended to be any kind of mystery.
