Celly is an ass.....

Wow, she is a worse Celebitch than others. Congrats on making an insane, psychopathic bitch even worse than others.

As much as I'm enjoying the story so far, I can't help but feel that the conflict, and upcoming war, is very forced. Not only did carl kidnap citizens of another nation (which is grounds for war right there) but he then went to their allied city-state of the crystal empire to get help? Just because he helped them they'd suddenly turn on their allies? Then Chrisalis goes and literally assaults one of their rulers lol. Idk just kinda hard to sympathise with their cause when they seem to bring it on themselves, is all. Besides that, enjoying the story greatly.

Would you rather let potential threats get away to bring even more danger? Carl didn't kill them at least.

You have to remember that in the beginning, the conflict was started by Celestia, and Carl is acting on the belief that the ponies will act as a human leader would, and not leave an enemy be until it was unable to fight or completely eradicated.

Wow, Cuntlestia is horrible.

But these citizens aren't actually in their country, were they? They entered lands that were not theirs, so they fall under the local laws, plus was it even legal to go there?

It would be interesting if he accidentally teleported himself in his original world🤔

Late reply but don't forget, it's been over 100 years as Carl was sent to Equestria. Earth would be very much different and then again, he might not be able to make a portal that far.

He still looks confused but before he can reply, a changeling sneaks up behind him and bites his neck lightly and injects him with venom. He yelps but then slurs as he passes out cold.

"Yur dethhhpicabllle. (*out cold*)"

"Only I can lay more changelings as my children have no reproductive organs. And since my mother died I had to keep our Hive alive, there's no 'male' changeling that can fertilise my eggs, I must lay with another race to reproduce. I can alter my eggs to accept their sperm and thus breed.

So they're ALSO like the Asari?!

Jeez. Even at her worst, Celestia (in canon) isn't this bad. She's dangerous! A loose cannon!

"That's my schtick! She can't have it!"

Pinkie... this isn't the time.

”geddit? ‘Cuz I brought a stick!” *gigglesnort*

Pudieron borrar la memoria de los exploradores. Parece que el quiere pelear

Every changeling in the room just stares at the bawling pony and now I feel like shit scaring the crap out of him like I did.

Don't. Ignorance is not innocence, intention is useless. Every single monster in history believed what they did was just, self righteousness is only good as long as it actually helps genuinely good people do what's actually good.
Of course, the guy didn't actually do anything wrong (contextually) because he didn't GET THE CHANCE.

To be fair to Celestia and Luna, they did just come off a war with Discord and likely only just finished securing Equestria as a nation. Young nations like that can't really afford to be overly diplomatic, especially at this point in the timeline when monsters and villains were almost literally crawling out of the woodwork.

That's not to say I condone their actions, just that I can understand their hesitance to trust anything not a pony right now. As time goes by they'll calm down and eventually become more friendly to the other races. Though I'm laying even money on Carl and Celestia having a rather antagonistic relationship at all times, even if they do become friends one day.

still no excuse for being xenophobic like celestia is... i cant wait for the showdown in equestria to happen soon. i wanna see ol sunbutt get her face smashed in so bad she has o drink her meals through a straw.

The other three spread their wings to take off but Grover releases green wisps of energy that fly into and affect all six of them, sapping their strength making them too tired and week to fly

Instead of week an in weekday change it to weak.

Nice spot. Fixed.

I'm Hercules again as Chrysalis and I lift large bricks into place...
