After the Canterlot Wedding disaster, the rebellious Thorax defected from the changeling kingdom to come to the land of Equestria, and with him came many changelings who agreed with his message of peace. However, Queen Chrysalis, angry at his insubordination, launched an invasion against Equestria.
With their forces spread thin across the land, Equestria has no choice but to rely on one thousand reformed changeling volunteers as an assault against Chrysalis's main army. But will the plan to end the invasion force succeed? Or is hope doomed for all?
Chapters (5)
Pretty interesting, waiting for the next chapter!
Cheeky reference. I wonder how many other people will recognize where you pulled the plot from. *wink*

They're going to have to find out on their own, won't they?
Will give this a read...
OOC
9568778
You gonna expound on that and be useful to me? You wrote three letters! I need something more to work with if you want me to improve!
9569177
OOC is short for “out of character”. And I have no idea how to improve this story cause of the direction and how early it is.
9569301
I know what it means. I know what OOC means. But how are they out of character? Be helpful here!
Can't wait to see where this story leads. I wish you the best of luck as you continue to write this story.
Is this based on what I think its based on?

Are you a member too?
Holy crud! RUN!
Oh crud! I hope Shining is ready for the fight of his life.
Please tell me that you didn't get me to fall in love with these characters just to kill them off.
9571360
Yep!
RIP Shining Armor
So, is it over? Is the story done? I mean, I know the war still had a ways to go, but the battle is over right?
9579264
Yep. The battle is over, and not a single one of Twilight's troops was harmed. Man, it was scary wondering which of the characters would die, right? It's so unpredictable!
This was probably one of the most nostalgic stories I've ever read on this site. When I first read the title I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was actually shocking if I'm being honest to see the story retold on FimFic. But I'm glad that you got the idea to do this, and I'm glad that I got to read it.

I'm glad you liked it. Maybe this story'll be a homing beacon for other people like us.
My other stories have a heavy influence on religion. You'd be surprised.
Death rode an angry albatross winged mutant baby alicorn.
She did beyond what the Changeling Queen ever hoped for.
Hm.
What about the surviving number of Chrysalis’s changelings? I mean, there had to have been some of the unreformed wounded recovered. Not to mention the possibility of the unreformed prisoners; there had to have been at least some, right?
9614779
The assumption is that they were killed as well. Chrysalis didn't want prisoners, and neither do the ponies, because a mobile army is not sufficient to keep prisoners for long.
9614878
Ah. Seems a bit brutal (and possibly out-of-character for those versed in harmony) but I guess I'll take that.
This is a good read, by the way. Nice work!
9614890
Thanks. I took inspiration from the scriptures, actually, while writing this. Also, I couldn't help sneaking in a Fallout Equestria reference in chapter 3.
I feel like this story needs a prequel. Is it just me?
9650910
Well, I figured the context would provide essential information about the pre-story events. We know what happens. Thorax rebels after the Canterlot Wedding, escapes to Equestria, and settles there. Chrysalis gets mad and invades. The war turns in their favor. Really, what more do you need to know?
9650995
i understand what your saying, but i feel like it needs to be more in depth then just the basic summary. I mean, intergrating of a race that once tried to overthrow your capital could not have been a smooth transition. i would imagine there would some form of outcry. and how about a closer look as some of the resident at this time. Ocellus, Stern, the Elements, even some citizens of Ponyville that were affected by this change

Good point. I never intended to tell that story, though. It probably would have just been filler, in flashbacks or something.
Short story, worth it.
9836068
Thanks. It was something I managed to speed out. I'm glad you liked it.
Your story has been reviewed!
I never heard of the word kmow
Great story by the way

This is late, but thanks for that. It makes me happy to know you like it. I hope you check out my other stuff.
Somepony just needs to send in *coughTeancumcough* to assassinate Chrysalis.
Sorry. Don't know where that name came from. I meant Daring Do.
Also, Twilight's sword is described as stainless steel. Stainless steel is a bad metal for blades; it's soft and doesn't hold an edge.
I didn't expect you to actually kill off a character.
10538377
Huh. That's new information. Thanks for letting me know.
Well, if people can make fantasy swords out of gold, which is an arguably worse metal, I suppose stainless steel isn't so bad.
10538425
You could just put in a comma to make it work.
Stainless steel blade -> stainless, steel blade.
Or change it to "unstained"
