Cheyenne Mountain
An explosion of dust came from the mountainside, followed quickly by an orange ball of of slowly drifting energy that dripped molten rock in its wake. All eyes were on the orb, looking to see what had emerged after being in the tunnels of the base for so long.
"Hello!" The cheery voice of Blue Sun greeted the changelings below her. "Have you been good to the humans?"
A few chitters of nervous discussion were heard before some drones flew off in separate directions, each soon returning with an adviser in tow. Catalyst's orange magical orb drifted slowly to the ground, landing with a slight roll as it glanced off of the dursine flooring before bursting into flame and disintegrating. The two queens and the bejeweled defective changeling stood opposite to the row of eager advisers, waiting for their report.
"Queen, not-minotaur curious. Few hurt from mountain. I expand hive! Very small now, but big soon." The Hive adviser quickly blurted, their eagerness following their steps toward Blue Sun. The drone's progress was halted by a larger, more armored hoof pressing against their chest.
"The defective." The Warrior adviser stated. "It still lives? Has its hunger not overtaken it?" The adviser added with narrowed glowing eyes to the white drone hiding behind Blue Sun.
"Every drone is precious to me, Warrior adviser. I would never hurt any of my hive." Blue reminded all of the advisers. "When I went after Queen Catalyst and the defective, we were able to find these strange rainbow rocks that hold love like a battery." She explained, pointing to the mentioned rocks that rested in the defective's leg holes.
"A battery?" A nearby drone questioned, its head turned sideways with confusion.
"It doesn't matter right now," Catalyst stated with a dismissive wave of her hoof. Her mood quickly turned sour when she pointed to the hive they all stood in. "What does matter, is the absurdly large structures you've built on the human's territory!"
Blue's attention was now grabbed by all the buildings around her, part of her bursting with pride that her hive had accomplished so much in only a few hours. "Did you speak with Colonel Bunker about this?" She asked calmly, turning to the advisers assembled before her. "Or Doctor Vahlen?" Blue added, and saw the Hive adviser shrink away nervously. "Chief Shen?"
"N-no, my Queen. I thought you like big hive." The Hive adviser explained. "You gone so long, I have to do something. What is drone without hive?"
Catalyst buzzed with annoyance while looking to Blue Sun. "This is your hive, Blue Sun. Punishment is up to you, not me."
Blue sighed. "I'll have to speak with Colonel Bunker about this. Hopefully she isn't upset." Blue then turned to motion the defective forward to the center of the discussion. The white drone nervously obeyed the command of her queen, its ears folded down while trying to appear as non threatening as possible.
"Warrior adviser." Blue commanded, "You will bring the defective somewhere safe in the hive for now while I speak with the humans. No matter what, the defective is not to be harmed."
The adviser bowed its head. "Yes, my queen!"
"What about me?" The hive adviser asked. "Punishment?"
Catalyst appeared unhappy with the drone but Blue barely noticed. She instead placed a hoof on the adviser's shoulder, causing it to flinch with worry at what might happen. "I will speak with Colonel Bunker. If everything is alright, then we'll just have a talk. If she isn't happy, then we'll have a talk."
The adviser's eyes widened at that before bowing. "Yes, my queen."
"Now, what do you all have to tell me about what's been going on since I went into the mountain?" Blue asked her advisers.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization Unofficial War-room
A large room with an equally absurd round table dominating the center was filled with heads of state and generals from all sections of the globe, each standing huddled in small pockets of allegiance to either their home country or political allies. The room was cold with stone floors and metal furniture; one large LED screen presenting a grand map of the world large enough to park a bus onto embedded in the wall that dominated the attention of everyone present.
Blips of color showed regional conflicts, the countries themselves outlined by green, yellow or red for which countries had been unaffected, reported sightings, or who had lost contact all together. The countries of China and India were bright red with Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Russia being a reddish-yellow.
"What the hell are they doing here?" The Prime Minister from Britain whispered, pointing to the small cluster of gentlemen from North Korea. "Did they want to come make more demands now that there's aliens everywhere?"
His train of thought was soon interrupted by the South Korean President cautiously approaching his northern counterpart. The two groups stood opposite another in an icy standoff that attracted attention from others in the room, each leader staring the other down. Taking a few slow steps forward and raising the tension even further, the North Korean leader stopped just a few paces in front of the South Korean President. The two stood there, staring at one another for what seemed like an eternity before the North Korean leader made the first move.
"In light of the recent invasion, I wish to discuss peace between our peoples." He stated carefully, offering a sincere bow to the South Korean President to assure him of his resolve. Continuing to speak from his bow the North Korean added, "I will unite Korea as one, under the people's rule, but now is not the time to be fighting a war on two fronts."
The South Korean President was taken aback by this sudden shift in policy, even more so to the fact that his long time rival had just given a symbol of respect by bowing to him. In return, he bowed as well without comment before the two arose. "Is this simply another truce?" he asked cautiously.
The other shook his head. "No, it is a genuine peace. I will not have my generals worry about an invasion from South Korea and her allies while we will be under inevitable siege by these freakish monsters from space. This is, of course, assuming we can trust you."
"Very well then. We will have to formalize this after the meeting today." The South Korean President agreed, still shaken by this unexpected development.
"Leaders of the world!" A voice announced, calling attention away from the meeting of the two Koreas. "Please find your seats; The meeting is about to begin."
The two leaders nodded at another and took their seats. After a few minutes, the rest of the people gathered had found their places and awaited the report on what was happening.
The Russian president was the first to stand, motioning to the map behind him. "As you can see, the world is under attack." he stated pointedly. "It is not Russia you should all fear for once, it is these invaders from another world." He added, pressing a button on the laptop before him to add a picture to the large screen. The image of a town being swarmed by hundreds of changelings with different colors popped up, followed by photos of people being coated in a slime-like material before being cocooned and carried off.
"So far, the armies of the world have been ineffective against this foe." The Russian explained, showing a video of Russian soldiers firing away at very hot bubble shields that slowly approached them made from different colors of magic. "Standard munitions do nothing against these barriers, and they are too hot to approach. These aliens, dubbed 'changelings' by American scientists, are able to maneuver through them with ease and seem immune to the heat generated by them."
Another slide appeared, this time in a smog covered city in China. "They are masters of ambush and assault," he continued, a new video clip showing meteors raining from above the city and crashing into buildings with large chunks of debris raining in a dusty cloud below. "They become the weapons themselves, as we have been unable to find a single device amongst them that would be capable of this kind of destruction."
"Well they must have something that fuels that kind of destruction." The British Prime Minister pointed out. "They can't wage a war entirely on will alone, can they?"
"Why are they wrapping people in those cocoons?" The French President asked. "Are they taking them somewhere?"
"What are those shields made of?" The Israeli President questioned. "Not even a tank shell was able to get through it from what I just witnessed!"
"Our best guess," The American President stated, "Is that these aliens are fueled by 'love'."
The entire room slowly turned to stare at President Amelia. "It sounds insane, given what they're doing on the screen, I know." She continued, unphased by the room's attention. "If you remember, we were in contact with the changelings just weeks before this invasion happened. Scientists have been studying as much as they could about the changelings, and from what they tell us, they live entirely off of emotions, the most powerful of them being love."
"That's absolutely ridiculous!" The French President blurted, pointing to the still image of a changeling pouncing on an Asian citizen. "Does that look like the face of a creature of love to you!?"
Amelia shook her head. "It could be a disease of some kind that makes them behave this way, we're not certain. What we do know, however, is that not all of them are so cartoonishly evil as this invasion makes them appear." She replied, pointing to the same photo. Pressing a button on her own laptop, a new image of Blue Sun waving and smiling to a scientist appeared.
"Cute." The North Korean leader deadpanned.
"This is Queen Blue Sun. She has been under voluntary study with us the past few weeks and has shown absolutely no signs of aggression or hostile action during her stay." Amelia explained, pressing another button. Now an image of Blue being covered in her slowly swarming grubs was shown, one of them nibbling on her ear. Grumbles of disgust dotted the room's vocalizations, yet Amelia continued. "Queen Blue Sun is the leader of her hive, and her hive all share the same characteristics as she does. Blue-Purple in coloration, even tempered, respectful of others, and a need to ensure that their hive gains enough love to sustain itself and grow."
"So they are parasites of love?" The French President questioned. "If they wish for love, then why attack us? They will gain nothing but fear and hatred if this is their plan."
"One common thing we've noticed is that these swarms of changelings are all colored differently, yet we haven't seen a single queen among them." Amelia explained. "Our scientists theorize that this could be the result of a lack of organization or leadership."
"How did they even get here?" The German Prime Minister questioned. "If they are so leaderless, then they should have never made it to our planet in the first place."
The Russian President took the stage now, revealing a photograph of large crystalline pillars arching with purple-green energy. "Not long before this invasion began, some kind of wormhole opened in northern Siberia. A different kind of alien emerged and attacked the local garrison, killing all present. Before we lost communication, helmet cameras were able to transmit the incursion to us."
A video soon displayed showing Russian soldiers on patrol returning to their base via truck, the group complaining about the cold and sharing cigarettes. No sooner had the truck reached a gated checkpoint did a loud screeching pierce the lazy calm of the base. The soldier's view shifted wildly, wondering where the sound had come before a leader ordered them out of the truck and to enter the base.
The video cut ahead, showing the soldier with a few of his allies hiding in a dark room, their rifles all pointed towards the door in front of them. For a few tense moments, nothing happened. The soldiers questioned each other, asking if the creature had gone. Soon after, the doorway they had been guarding burst open in a spray of metal shards and splintered wood causing the soldiers to seek cover. A few gunshots rang out loudly in the small room before a cloud of black smoke billowed forth and swarmed each soldier one by one. The viewpoint of the last solder saw the bodies of his comrades completely drained of life, like mummified husks crumpled with clothing suddenly made far too large for what remained of their bodies. The video cuts out to static on a freeze frame of red eyes with a green background and purple smoke radiating outward.
The room was deathly quiet after witnessing the video, and the Russian President continued. "We do not know for certain if this is related to the invasion in Asia, but this creature appeared in the same moments as they did. It is safe to assume they may be related and act accordingly."
"So we have alien bugs and a smoke monster invading the world." The Canadian Prime Minister put succinctly. "What are we going to do about it?"
"Obviously, we must find some way to counter these invaders." The French President stated. "I don't think anyone here is planning on allowing their people to become food for these changelings and smoke monsters, are they?"
"What do you suggest? We have tried all that we can think of within the realm of reason." The Japanese Prime Minister pointed out. "Perhaps your friend Queen Blue Sun may be able to help?" he asked to Amelia.
The room soon became a low rumble of discussion and ideas bouncing off of each other, each leader and general unable to come up with something that might help with their current situation. Faces became covered in the palms of frustration as quickly as ties came undone from stress. Old enemies began speaking together after their usual connections could think of nothing, and the room joined together in a mess of worry about what was happening. As tensions reached their threshold and concern gave way to exaggeration, the temperature of the room shifted quite suddenly. One of the nearby stone walls had begun emitting a cold fog that drifted lazily to the ground in a cloud, and the leaders of the world backed away as bodyguards and secret service members formed a line of pistols and sub-machine guns between the fog and their leaders.
****
Equestria, Throne Room of the Crystal Empire
The blackened crater in the center of the room was billowing fog from it, becoming a mysterious pool with worried voices of distortion coming through. Princesses Twilight, Cadence, Celestia and Luna stood around the pool looking in.
"You're certain this is where Chrysalis went?" Queen Sanguine questioned, giving the pool a suspicious look from further back.
"I am certain." Celestia stated. "My sight extends to where ever the rays of the sun touch, and I have seen thousands upon thousands of changelings on this world."
Queen Sanguine was taken aback by this. "Wait, any sun?"
Luna was the next to speak up. "I control the arrangement of the stars, Queen Sanguine. Did you think that our world was simply draped in a blanket of my creation?"
Queen Sanguine was now left open mouthed and questioning her place in the cosmos at that moment as the Princesses continued unphased. "Are all of us going there?" Twilight asked somewhat nervously. "What if they don't want our help?"
"King Sombra has escaped to their world through same magic that I taught you to defeat him, Twilight." Celestia explained. "He is our problem, as well as Queen Chrysalis. Neither of them should be where they are, and it is our duty to bring them back."
"We must remain here, in order to safeguard Equestria and maintain what balance remains in the cosmos." Luna explained.
"Once again, it will be solely up to you, and your friends, to save the day." she added with a small amount of bitterness.
"My friends are coming?" Twilight asked with a mix of excitement and nervousness. "How did they find out?"
At that moment, the doors leading to the chamber burst open with Pinkie Pie leading the way. Her bouncy entrance soon skidding to a halt at the sight of the foggy pool and her eyes went wide. "Whoa! Far out!"
The remaining elements walked or flew in after Pinkie, all seeing the pool for themselves before spotting Twilight. "We came as quick as we could, Sugarcube." Applejack announced. "All our cutie marks started glowing and when we couldn't find you at the castle we got a message from the Princess tellin' us to come quick."
"Are we really going to another world?" Fluttershy added nervously. "I mean, we've been to the Breezie's world and that was nice, but nopony has been where ever we're going, have they?"
Luna and Celestia shared a uncomfortable smile for a moment before Celestia reassured them. "We may have been known to them in the past as Khonsu, but they've hopefully forgotten us long ago by now. I'm certain that you'll all do well. You've fought Tirek and Discord together and emerged unharmed, haven't you?"
A nearby vase came to life with the likeness of Discord himself blowing literal raspberries at Celestia before reverting to its original ceramic form. The scene was so common for the all present that none batted an eyelash, save for Queen Sanguine who was now even more confused.
"Khonsu?" Twilight questioned. "Why have I never heard that name before?"
"Well..." Luna explained with an awkward smile, "It was one of our darker phases that we don't like to talk about."
"They may have a book about us, now that I think about it." Celestia mused.
"Do you think they still write in Hieroglyphics?" Luna added, also interested.
"Well, the world isn't going to save itself, is it?" Rainbow Dash interrupted, pointing to the noisy pool of fog below her steady hover. "A bunch of creatures in trouble, a bunch of changelings causing problems and King Sombra being evil. Sounds like a job for us!"
"Speaking of changelings," Rarity pointed out, "Will you be coming with us, Queen...?"
"Sanguine." The orange queen finished. "No, I have to remain here to watch after the changelings that refused Chrysalis. Without me they would probably cause the same havoc they are where you're going, or simply starve."
The six elements, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight moved closer to the pit with expressions from surety to anxiety. Twilight took a deep breath to marshal her courage before stating, "Well girls, its now or never."
"Yay, adventure!" Pinkie Pie shouted, swan diving into the portal and vanishing with a huge cloud of fog to announce her exit from the world.
****
North Atlantic Treaty Organization Unofficial War-room
The guards standing in front of the portal didn't have to wait long before the growing sound of cheer grew closer to the room. Aiming their weapons with renewed purpose and suspicion, they were greeted by the embodiment of pink in pony form sliding across the floor, forehooves first like a waterslide, into the wall on the far end of the room.
Half of their weapons remained on the small equine while the others covered the entrance. More noises could be heard, some whooping with excitement, and others screaming in terror. The confusion mounted even further as multi colored pastel pony after another warped into the room with a burst of fog accompanying their entrance. First a light blue one, then a white, then an orange, a purple, and a yellow one dumped themselves in a heap before the foggy portal shut itself closed.
Blinking and disoriented, the small creatures collected themselves before noticing the wall of very tall and none-too happy looking non-minotaur pointing unfriendly looking devices in their direction.
"Hi!" The pink pony blurted fairly loudly while un-crumpling herself like an accordion from the wall. "I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"
media.makeameme.org/created/yep-that-just.jpg
Edit: Now that I think about it, wasn't there already an MIB reference/cameo in the story? In that case, I could imagine this meme actually happening at the start of the next chapter.
So. Knowing humans they want to capture the ponies and force them to take them into the pony world. In hopes of resources. Thus having a race against one another to get there first to "colonize" the land. I say fuck the humans bring sun to equestria as well as the humans she loves. And only them. Everyone else dies as the humans kill one another
WELL THIS IS A NEW DIRECTION!
8248193
That's... a bit bleak. So far, those humans who have not been outright attacked, have been cautiously optimistic.
8248204
Hmm. True. So this story doesn't have real human nature
8248208
Not at all! True to life, the politician are refusing to commit, one way or the other!
...Huh. I knew someone on a forum once that used the name Khonsu. I didn't know it was an actual thing, I thought it was just letters mashed together to make something pronounceable.
This is a new direction.
And I'm completely fine with it and enjoying it!
You know the situation has gotten out of hand when a NATO war council has been convened, and multiple non-treaty countries are in attendance; and since all of these countries have elected to turn to NATO, instead of the United Nations Security Council for this crisis, a large chunk of the UN's credibility just went down in flames.
And North Korea taking the initiative to bury the hatchet with South Korea, even if for the sake of addressing a greater threat... Hell has officially frozen over.
Nice to see you back! I really hope this becomes weekly again
ONiell getting a good start on his fishing expedition there.
That Disaster Changeling is going to be called Absol? Cos throw him at Sombra and theres going to be much lamentation.
Gentlemen. You thought it was fantasy when you were being swarmed with untouchable masses of alien insects and vapourous forms.
This is Pinkie Pie. Professor Stephen Hawking has a description for her.
He calls her a Naked Singularity.
That is. Because she exists, the laws of reality have been thrown out of the window.
Did only the Mane 6 come through into the War Room, because wouldnt Celestias passive flux, except she had been there before so knew that and how to reduce the effect, wouldve slagged the place instantly?
This story has exploded so far from it's original premise.
I am perfectly okay with this.
8248208
Would you immediately attack the ponies? I dare say not. Neither would most humans, who are much like yourself.
8248463
I wouldn't because I want to fuck them. as well as the rest of the people who are on this site. mostly Luna Chrissy and maybe shy. but I degrees for the humans that think of nothing other than fitting their wallets or trying to rule the world. they don't really care much about the ponies. only themselves. so once chrysalis is dealt with the humans might request open trading only to invade the land of magic to satisfy the lust of death and money.
Now, things become interesting.
In this entire story about magical love-eating bug ponies from another dimension... Kim Jung Un acting in a sane, non-paranoid manner is the most unbelievable, unrealistic thing I've seen so far. Seriously, you can't fix crazy with scare tactics.
8248490 I want to eat them. Diminutive ponies, I hear, make one immortal if you consume their flesh! AND THEIR SOULS!!
8248490
The frick? I don't want to know what made you adopt that philosophy.
Well, I certainly like where this has gone. Xd
I just have one problem with it, I can accept regular firearms having trouble breaking down a magic shield, but nothing's invincible! Shoot at it long enough and the shield will break, the fact that not even a tank shell could break thru is kinda.....unbelievable to be honest. Maybe and just MAYBE a magic shield could take a direct hit from a tank, but that's it, it should shatter the shield, like in the halo universe. I really Kinda don't like the fact we appear to be helpless against magic. I agree that's it's powerful in its own right, but some weapons of science should be equally able to fight it off. I kinda understand why you probably went with that, to make the changelings a real serous threat that humanity is fighting desperately against and unite to fight a common enemy. But magic should not be invincible like, their not God's, neither is celestia or Luna, [pardon my language] I don't give a fuck that they can control celestial elements, like to see them survive a nuke [Yes I know celestia is like the sun but she's still flesh and bone] or react quickly enough to stop a sniper [that they will never see coming] from blowing their brains out.
........I'm ranting, I'm really sorry for that. But when it comes to story scenes like this where humans are shown getting their ass' s kicked with out at least putting up some Kinda fight against magic, just makes my blood boil!
I really do love this story, don't let my angry rant make you think otherwise, I've been with this story from the beginning and have no plans of ever hating or leaving it, just...you know, let them at least put up some valiant fight of some sort.
Other then that, I LOVED the part about discord blow that raspberry. Lol
Also I'm kinda shocked about what sombra is doing, what made him go from just a book receiving and giving knowledge to a smoke monster that's going all mummy on humanity?
And who do celestia and Luna think they are thinking so little of us? like to see their faces with a bullet between the eyes.......there I go again with the hate, I don't hate them, i'm just really against anti human groups and others who think their superior to us. I prefer equality myself.
Totally love nations putting aside their differences to unite against evil. Xd
.......we'restillmoreadvacedthenthemtechnologically!!!!!
So like, when the hell are they gonna tell blue sun about this? She could help make counterweopons against those shields or find weaknesses.
I look forward to seeing more of how this turns out, bring on the love!!! (Whacks CHANGELING on the head with a stick that came to close) NONE FOR YOU YOU SHIELD CHEATERS!!!
xp
8248490 *spits out milk* Oi! Most people do not, in fact, want to pet the ponies' private places!
It's all about those humans, and humans only. They have fingers. FINGERS GUYS! They're like tentacles, but easily accessible!
8248663 Journal!Sombra and Smoke Monster!Sombra are two different entities. One is a remnant created by the King in order to preserve his knowledge. The other is... him.
I think.
8248640
I think thier just bullshiting around, ...or just tired. It's frekin 1 am where I'm at. Lol
8248668
Then why did book sombra go to the human world mmm? He's gotta be the smoke monster. Xd
8248699 Is that Book!Sombra? I thought it was Rock Candy!Sombra.
Welp, time to reread the entire story I guess!
.....ok I can kinda see why people are a bit weirded out by what some people are writing on here.
Sorry author that you have to deal with that, just know you do have fans that like you and love your story.
8248618
Story didn't actually say it was him, just referred to him as the north Korean leader.
After all the current Russian President is not female but in the story it is, ........plus what at all is realistic about bug ponies from space coming to earth wanting to eat our love mmm?
Just a story dude, just enjoy it. Xd
8231554
Just ignore them man, don't show them their getting to ya, just look at their comments and think 'wow, how pathetic' and move on.
1.- So Latin America (and my Venezuela) got unaffected? Cool, althoug, it saddens me that Colombia isn't there (President Uribe was trying to join NATO and, since this is an alternate Universe which means that Santos didn't stop that) since it would've been good for them.
2.- North Korea accepting to unify to the South looks very unlikely, so I'll explain the reasons behind it (it will be the decision of this story's author whether to use it or not): North Korea is an isolated country and all of its exportation goes to China (and its just coal), seeing how China is in a state of chaos (along Russia) and the little trade North Korea could have with China must've gone to chaos, the only way its regime could survive (especially with the now changeling invasion) would be to accept joining to the South in the hopes that the negotiation would allow it to survive and avoid being tried by the International Court of Justice. Not that they'll ever tell it to anyone.
3.- This is a fascinating development that I applaud, if you ever need to now anything about Latin America, you can ask me.
8248193
No offense but you're probably not one of the humans she would love
8248618
I never gave the North Korean leader a name, and since the leaders of the United States and Russia are different, why would any other leader be the same as in real life?
8248948
Ill call him Jim Long Moon! (Idek)
I agree with Tanis here, no way NATO is going to be used over the UN for international discussions...I don't even understand how the non-member countries were made aware of that reunion ! Did they just arrived unannounced ?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha No.
Unless changelings have taken the entirety of the leadership of North Korea (which would be a nice twist by the way), that isn't going to happen, ever. Also, no leader of any country is going to accept that deal, especially not South Korea. That's like the devil saying: "hey look I've been bad but I want to repent. Let's fuze hell with the mortal realm ! Under your direction, of course...*shifty eyes*
Bwahahahahaha that's almost worse. "So, we've been the greatest evil till now, but a greater evil has emerged !"
No Russian leader, and no leader, ever, is going to say that THEY are evil. Everybody has his justification and ideology; even North Korea believe it is the good guy here...
The way this is formulated sounds like what a bad American produced action film Russian would say.
"Bwahaha, you have discovered my plan to destroy the world, Mr Bond, but you will never stop it ! For the Motherland !"
Come on...
All in all, it is easy to say that International Politics are NOT your forte...It's not, I suppose, extremely important to the story, but still...
My suspension of disbelief is streched near to it's breakink point...
Also :
I feel like some dialog or details are missing here. The way this flows feels very unnatural...
8248193
Given the mechanics present in this story, invading Equestria seems like a really, REALLY dumb idea, as anything from our world that goes there is liable to spontaneously combust-matter from our world heats up really quickly when it comes into contact with magic. Even basic levitation spells would be lethal. Even passive magical flux could prove lethal unless we first develop a defense against magic...which isn't happening for a while yet.
I'm not sure how you became so fixated on this idea that humans would invade equestria and be assholes to the friendly equines with abilities we don't fully understand, but it definitely doesn't make sense for this fic. Especially not when the Stargate program (and maybe XCOM, though it might just be a couple of people from it) is a thing here.
This is a work of fiction about bug horses.
This is entertainment done for fun.
If you'd rather spend your time trashing it and saying nothing positive, there are other stories you can read.
This story is fiction.
If you don't enjoy it, don't read it.
If you want the story to go in a different direction, write it.
If you want to kill a story, trash talk the author that writes the story for fun and for other's amusement.
If you want to read more, help out the reader. Don't throw heaps of verbal garbage on top of them. I'm a person, not a machine.
8248986
On your Russian reaction, I think he was referring to the fact that all the western centuries are VERY paranoid of Russia, because of it's communist history.
At lest I'd hope that is the case.
8249081
Western media always tries their hardest to paint Russia as evil.
Ohoh, don't take that the wrong way : if I'm still here, it's that I'm still enjoying it. If I'm commenting, it's in hopes of helping the story improve.
If you need honest praise, let me tell you this : despite it's faults, this story is above 90% of the stories on this site, by miles. Take it from someone with 400+ stories in his Tracked folder, and FAR more that have NOT been tracked.
However, I just wanted to express some of my frustrations with the story so far, in what I hoped was a funny yet friendly and polite manner. If I failed in that regard, I give you my most sincere apologies : putting down people is not something that I want to do.
8249088
OH, Very hard indeed!
So hard in fact, I'd just might forget about it from all the hard bashing they give me about all their definition of "evils of the world" (and common sense in general) though amnesia.
You know what? I really hope I do.
Oh good, they're back in the Hive. Now to tell them about how the world is apparently ending... Or not. Several thousand changelings versus six billion humans isn't great odds even if they were organized, magical handicap be darned.
Now we just gotta figure out what Sombra did for that "defective" ling to be different.
Anyone got some Rainbow for us?
Keep going! ;)
Yep, trust Pinkie to make proper introductions and either be too oblivious about having weapons aimed at her, or not caring about it at all
Ah well, more allies are a good thing! At least it's not completely up to Blue Sun and Catalyst now.
And Sombra being murderous. Who would have thought?
Let me know what you think of the story!
I love it.
8248986
You missed NKs point. North Korea states it's intent: We will "someday" reunite Korea as a peoples republic, but that day isn't now. Due current alien-infestation, how about peace until that problem is solved?
The Russia part was mostly sarcasm on Russia's part. You know, the West blaming Russia for nearly anything.
I guess that should be "a" sun to make sense.
Is it wrong of me to be slightly disappointed in the direction this story took? I feel less interested in it now than I originally did. I was interested in the concept of Blue Sun and her development of the hive in the world and the slow reveal of information and the possibility of 1 more queen existing. Now I'm looking at an alien invasion story with Sombra on the side instead of a first contact story of a confused queen. The scope of the story has changed, the focus has changed and I'm not excited by that. I cared more about Blue Son, her companions, and the military base. I didn't really care about the rest of the world. I don't care about Sombra. I just wanted to learn about changelings in a potentially interesting fiction that involved bumbling around in ignorance. I also wasn't that interested in the main 6 appearing in this story. I'll give it a chance but it's likely my opinion will turn towards the worst opinion: apathy and forgetting about this story. Then again, it's your story and you can't please everyone.

You're still human. Humans always find rationale for their madness. The atheist communist regime of Chairman Mao likely killed more people than Hitler and Stalin's regimes COMBINED.
8248948 Well, if you're going to mention North Korea and NOT give the leader a name that clearly means he's not linked to the current fanatical regime... given the current world situation, people are going to make the natural assumption.
Needs a with.
Startling Developments
Sombra too now? This is becoming too much.
You need to tone down the story. Too much going on at once will cause confusion. By my count you currently number at 6 different perspectives. 7 if you count Sombra narration.
I've only ever seen a maximum of 3.

Then write a story about changelings on earth that you want to read. Thats what started me writing! I got tired of reading other people's stories and decided to write the ones I wanted to read.
Let it be known...
Pinkie shot first.
Holy smoke, things are getting wild. One side, we got our two queens finally out of their troublesome situation, and it seems that our friendly ‘defective’ changeling got himself some ‘love batteries’. So, at least they are doing pretty well now. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is having some major issues with some lost souls in the form of Changelings, who is causing troubles without truly meaning to (I don’t really blame them, they are just surviving the only way they know how). And if that wasn’t enough, ‘Phantom Sombra’ (as I can best dubbed him as) decided to make his own appearance to Earth.
Hopefully, Twilight and the gang can help out without becoming target practice. And I can’t wait to see how Blue play into it as well.
As for the story as a whole, I want to say that I am loving it so far. Honestly, I don’t mind the few twists that the story is taking and find them enjoyable. And I am sure there are others that like them as well.
C&Cs will be PM.
