Blue Fang stared at the sky from one of the castles balconies. He needed a bit of time to himself. The cold nighttime air was one of the things that calmed him down. During the war, the slight breeze cooled his body down from all the heat of the battles. Even with horrifying battles like the Battle of White Tail Woods, nothing could compare to the relieving feeling of cool air. As he daydreamed (or nightdreamed, if thatâs even a word), the sound of glass horseshoes caught his attention.
âHello Blue Fang.â
âHello Ms. Luna.â The Princess of the Night looked at him, then to somepony else. Then Cadence appeared. âMrs. Cadence.â
âBlue Fang.â
Blue Fang gave Luna a look, âanything in particular you need or are you just here?â
Cadence stepped up, âAuntie here says you have the hots for someone.â
Blue Fang shot a look at Luna, then to Cadence, âand that someone would be?â
The pink princess rolled her eyes, âyou canât play dumb anymore.â Blue Fang looked at her. âKydra.â
âPfft!â
The two Princesses looked at him with a confused look.
âI spat out my coffeeâŠ
...mightâve been better if I actually had coffee.â He looked at the Princesses, âanyway. Whatâs this about Kydra?â
âAgain, auntie says youâre into Kydra.â
âFor the love ofâ sigh.â
âWhat?â The Princess of Love asked.
âWell Mrs. Cadence, the only real way you could ever see dating Kydra is if we were doing it for a mission.â
Luna looked at Cadence, then to Blue Fang, âmaybe we should ask Kydra during roll call tomorrow.â
âDo so.â
Luna looked at her niece, âheâs all yours.â She walked off.
Cadence looked at him. âBlue Fang,â she said walking towards him. He already knew she was gonna talk about expressing his emotions and whatever.
âIf you mention anything about my emotions Iâm going to throw myself off this darn balcony.â If Cadence were a regular Pony he wouldâve just thrown HER off the balcony. She opened her mouth to speak but Blue Fang said, âNope!â and threw himself off the balcony.
He fell about three feet before Cadence grabbed him with magic. Bucking Pony.
Cadence lifted the Changeling to the balcony. âWhere do you think youâre going?â
âUm, to the ground so I donât have to sit through a lecture on why my emotions are important?â
âI was just going to tell you to say âKydra, I want to tell you my feelings,â andâ
âSee, youâre trying to make me express fake emotions.â
âSo youâre saying Kydra means nothing to you?â
âWhat?! No I didnât mean it like that! I justâ
âYou just expressed your emotions.â
âHow so?â
âYou just proved you cared about her.â
Buck it to Tartarus sheâs good. He looked at her. How could he keep this lie up?
âYou need to come clean Blue Fang.â
âAnd what if I did? Huh? What would she say?â
âSheâd probably respond with a pleasant smile and tell you about her feelings.â
Blue Fang gave Cadence a look, âI doubt it.â
âWhy?â
âSheâs the daughter of the Queen, and Iâm just a soldier like the next Changeling, why would she fall for someone like me when she has someone like Hivehunter whoâs part of the Queen's elite Wasp Division?â
She looked at him, âwell if you really want to win her heart, you need to tell her how you feel.â With that, the Princess of Love walked away.
He looked down to the ground below the balcony. âYeah. Right.â
Hello old friend! Did ya miss me? Yeah me neither. I know itâs been a while since Iâve written in you, but I want this memory to be preserved forever. Today is the day we break out of here. The plan is simple, we go to roll call, then we do a little performance, then we go rogue and break out. I hope this goes well.
Blue Fang along with the rest of the gang stood in formation like they were in BT, or trying to impress the Queen. The roll call ran like the others, calling names and such. Blue Fang silently waited for Luna or Cadence to ask something about him and Kydra. After some questions about military life and what not, Cadence said, âI have a question.â
âWhat is it?â Brokenwing asked.
âHow did Blue Fang and Kydra meet?â
The other Changelings got a look on their faces.
âThatâs actually a good question,â Dagger said.
âYeah, how did you two meet?â Mitchell asked.
All the Changelings seemed to agree. They looked over to the two Changelings. Blue Fang looked at Kydra, who returned the same look.
âCanât really explain it,â Blue Fang said.
âMaybe I can,â Kydra said.
âHow?â Blue Fang asked. She whispered something to him, âokay.â
She lit her horn up. Blue Fang smiled as the music started.
Purple= Kydraâs Lyrics
Instrumental
I was a Changeling scout on search patrol
huntinâ RGâs down.
It was the earlier days of the war.
I lost my squad and and I got stuck
Way out all alone, and I hear the RGâs moving close outside.
Just then I heard a twig snap
And I grabbed a nearby rock
Then I dug in scared and counted down my fate.
And then a young Changeling
With a pair of dark blue fangs
Appeared there at my shoulder and said, âhey.â
âIf the RGâs wanna tango, now theyâll have two to dodge.â
I said, âwell thanks a lot!â I told him my name and asked him his.
A he said, âthe Queen just named me, Blue Fang.â
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang,
Things are never quite the way they seem.
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang,
I was really glad to see this strange Changeling.
Well, we fought all night side by side
Took our battle stance,
And I wonder how the RGâs missed this bug.
Cause magic seemed to go right past him
Almost if he was lightinâ fast.
And in the morninâ we both took a chance and ran.
And it was near the riverbank, when the ambush came,
And I thought it was the end and we were had.
Then some magic with my name on it came buzzinâ through a bush,
Then the strange Changeling, he just shot it out the air.
Like it was a Pegasi!
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang,
Things are never quite the way they seem.
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang,
I was really glad to see this strange Changeling.
When he led me out of danger, I saw the Hive and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then he was gone.
And when I got back to my quarters,
I told them about my night,
And the battle I spent with a young Changeling named Blue Fang.
When I said his name a soldier scoffed
and my mother took my hoof,
And led me to some barracks down hall.
She said, âyou may be telling the truth Ky, but here is Blue Fang.
And heâs been since the patrols left last night.â
âBut before youâll left he said heâd watch your backs
And said his only goal
Was to save a young Changeling caught in a barrage.â
âSo here, take his dog tags Ky.
He said he wanted you to have them now.â
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang
I was really glad to see this strange Changeling.
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang
This was a really strange Changeling.
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Blue Fang
This was a really strange Changeling!
Kydra looked at her audience. The Changelings clapped and cheered. âThank you! Thank you!â she bowed. The Ponies just stared at her. She turned and bowed to them.
This was all they had to do, put on a show and then break out.
Mitchell looked over to them. âAlright, my turn.â His horn lit up with music
âMind if I sit this one out?â Kydra asked.
âOf course.â

Pulled into war to serve a vision thatâs supposed to last a thousand years.
Part of a machine
Unstoppable as merciless as tidal waves.
Were we the victims of the time
Or proud parts of larger goals?
Propaganda of the Princess
masterful machine.
Time and again, the battle rages on beyond the gates of misery.
As the violence would rise
And millions fight around them
Did they see it all?
Crazy mad mares on a leash
Or yount colts who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the crowns may seem real at times.
Changelings on a line!
Form Queen Chrysalis spine!
Lethal grand design!
What about the Princess executing orders?
Changelings on a line!
Form Queen Chrysalis spine!
Lethal grand design!

Fight for the Queen.
Die for the Hive.
No Changeling falls,
Under their hooves.

Pulled into war to serve a vision that just didnât last a thousand years.

All Guards on a line!
Form the Princesses spine!

Now it was the Changelings turn to look dumbfounded. Of all the Ponies that couldâve sung, it had to be Luna. The Changelings formed a huddle. âWhat else we got?â Dagger asked.
âNot much to work with,â Mantis answered
Brokenwing looked towards Blue Fang, âBlue?â
âWell, let me think. Maybe the Battle of Fort Glacier?â
âPerfect!â Brokenwing said, âIâll sing, you guys take a break.â
âAlright, but we need two more songs to seal the deal,â Dagger said.
âIâll do one,â Blue Fang said.
âMe too,â Hivehunter said to shocked faces.
âAlright, Iâll go first,â Brokenwing said.
Red= Brokenwings Lyrics.
Crack of the ES splitting the ground
They were surrounded
And Luna was howling.
Wrath of the RGs cast on Glacier
Facing the sisters alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
The march through the north has begun.
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
Hornets are leading the way.
The north is still under enemy rule
Push, RGâs retreat
Thrown towards Glacier, a bitter defeat
They're stretched out just one line too far
Turn of the tide, it's breaking away,
Losing momentum, retreat.
Go to Glacier, the crossroads must hold
Stand, alone in the cold.
Crack of the ES splitting the ground
They were surrounded
And Luna was howling.
Wrath of the RGs cast on Glacier
Facing the sisters alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave
The storm is about to begin
The siege has begun, there's nowhere to run
Now the two sisters emerge.
Guards and the sisters are shaking the ground
Prey of Guard and monarch.
Crack of the ES splitting the ground
They were surrounded,and Luna was howling.
Wrath of the RGs cast on Glacier
Facing the sisters alone.
Chill of the north will bite to the bone and Hearth Warming is drawing near
Soldiers are freezing, the death toll increasing
They're dying in their holes.
There's no surrender, there's no retreat, the RGs are drawing near
There's no reinforcements, they're fighting all alone.
Instrumental
Sent from the skies ended up in Glacier
As easy, as hard as they get.
Luna commands
A request, she demands
Offered a surrender, declined.
Nuts! Let Foresights word echo clear.
Nuts! The sisters shall hear!
Crack of the ES splitting the ground
They were surrounded,
And Luna was howling.
Wrath of the RGs cast on Glacier
Facing the sisters alone.
Brokenwing gave a bow. His fellow comrades gave a roaring applause. He moved towards the rest of the gang. âWhoâs next?â
âIâll go next,â Blue Fang said. Then he looked at Hivehunter, âor do you want to go?â
âNo you can go.â
âAlright.â
Blue= Blue Fangs Lyrics
The darkness helps me every day
The countdown has begun
I am your master, number one
Reoccurring pain
I was whole on the battlefield
And live by the Queens will
A creature of unholy pain
The vengeance is my name
I walk alone the path of evil
Iâm the Queens number one
Taste my fury, take my vengeance
Now itâs time to die
Iâm biting with my blue fangs!
(Cackles!)
I am a breaker of the guard
Blue Fang is my name
Bringing pain and misery
Into the necks of foes
I walk alone the path of evil
Iâm the Queens number one
Taste my fury, take my vengeance
Now itâs time to die
Iâm biting with my blue fangs!
(Cackles!)
The dark one haunts me every day
The countdown has begun
I am your master, number one
Reoccurring pain
I walk alone the path of evil
Iâm the Queens number one
Taste my fury, take my vengeance
Now itâs time to die
Iâm biting with my blue fangs!
Iâm biting with my blue fangs!
Blue Fang gave a bow. Every Changeling clapped and cheered. He walked over to the others. âWell Hive, youâre up.â
âAlright.â Hivehunter walked up.

Hivehunter gave a bow and walked back to the gang. They cheered like and congratulated him. Now, step 1 was complete, time for step 2, escaping. Blue Fang looked towards a window. He nodded to Dagger, then he looked at the ponies. âWhat did yâall think?â Alright Dag, work your magic.
Alright, itâs ready.
Alright, activate on âCheckmate.â
Roger Blue, over and out.
The Ponies stared at each other, debating what they should say. They werenât sure if they should be offended or impressed by their adversaries voices. Blue Fang smiled, âwell it seems you guys are at a stalemate.â He looked at Dagger, who winked at him. âAll I can say now is, âCheckmate.â
Checkmate confirmed. Smoke out.
In almost an instant, a large blanket of smoke filled the room. The Ponies quickly flew into a panic. Pegasus guards took to the sky to clear it up.
Twilight looked around the smoke-filled room. What was happening? She used her wings to try and fan the smoke away. She narrowed her eyes, trying to see through the smoke. A couple of shadows moved through the smoke. Were they guards or not? The smoke started clearing up. It took awhile, but the smoke cleared.
But the Changelings were gone.
Blue Fang used his Instinct to follow the others.
Come on guys! Brokenwing said through to MC
Right here Broken. Mitchell replied.
The gang moved through the smoke, trying not to bump into the guards. Brokenwing jumped onto a window. Itâs stuck!
Dagger jumped on with him. Let me help. With that, Dagger bucked the window open. Tough glass. Dagger said amazed at how the glass didnât shatter. The gang moved out of the window and down to the street. They ran through the alleyways. They hid in some of the back alleys. âWhat do we do now?â Dagger asked.
âProbably best we split up,â Brokenwing asked.
âDivide and conquer,â Blue Fang said.
âAlright. Dagger, Mitchell, and Mantis, youâre together,â Brokenwing said, âHivehunter, Stinger, youâre with me. Ky and Blue, youâre together.â
âAlright. Donât go to camp directly. Set up a small camp, then move to the main,â Blue Fang said.
âAlright, letâs move.â
The gang split up and ran down different alleyways. Kydra and Blue Fang ran out of the alleyway and into the market. The civilians looked at them with fear. âThere!â A couple of guards charged them.
âJust like old times?â Blue Fang asked.
âJust like old times.â
The two friends stood back to back, ready to attack the guards. Two guards charged them. Blue Fang grabbed one and twisted his helmet around. âAhh! I canât see-â he was cut off by Kydra landing a tough back kick. The other Guard was dropped by Blue Fang and a hook punch. The two friends looked at each other. âGood job Blue.â
âYou two Ky.â
The two moved out of the market, dodging the guards and the civilians. They ran towards the edge of the city. âWow. Long fall,â Kydra said.
âYep.â
âWell, we better get going.â
âRight-â Blue Fang was cut off by a figure landing in between them, knocking both of them to the ground. Blue Fang looked up to the figure. A Batpony. He stood up and readied his fighting stance; the Batpony did the same. The two were in a standoff. The Bat threw the first punch, then Blue Fang threw his punch. The two ping-ponged punches back and forth. Then Blue Fang threw another punch. The Batpony caught it and twirled the Private around. Then he swept the Changeling off his hooves, literally. Blue Fang laid there pinned on the ground.
âGood job, Changeling, but I-â
His dialogue was cut off by beams of magic. It was Kydra! She was limping, but firing. The beams went every which way. The Bat grabbed his helmet off his head and threw at her like he was playing dodgeball. The helmet hit Kydraâs abdomen. She looked breathless and she was stumbling around like a mindless zombie. She leaned towards the edge of the platform. She tripped over the small wall and fell off the side.
âKydra!â Blue Fang yelled. He looked towards the Bat. His eyes started glowing.
The Batpony looked at him. âWhat the-!â The next thing he knew, he was an inch deep in a nearby wall.
Blue Fang turned to where Kydra fell. He ran over to the short rail and jumped. He fell for a few until he hit a tree. In an instant, a flash of black overcame him.
Blue Fang woke up a few minutes later. He looked down to his stomach. He was surprised to see he was levitating. Oh wait, no. He was just snagged on a vine. He cut the vine with magic and fell to the forest floor. He dusted himself off and looked around. Kydra had to be around here somewhere. He walked away from the giant as all heck wall. He walked around until he heard a faint sound. What was it? He honed his listening, then it was clear; someone was crying. He walked towards the sound, then used Instinct. He then the green outline of a Changeling caught his eyes. He moved towards the Changeling. He turned off his Instinct, âhello?â
The next he knew, something wrapped around him. He looked down. Kydra. And she was crying. She hugged Blue Fang like there was no tomorrow. Blue Fang didnât know what to do. âKy?â
Through the tears, she managed to say, âBl-Blue! Iâm s-sorry!
âFor what?â
âI couldnât help you! I thought you died! I tried using the MC but you- you- you didnât answer! I th-thought Iâd lost you!â
Blue Fang didnât know what to say. He finally found the words, âitâs okay Ky.â
âNo- no itâs not!â Kydra held on Blue Fang, and she didnât want to let go of him. She buried her face into his chest. She didnât expect two hooves to wrap around her.
âItâs okay. Itâs okay.â He spoke truthfully. It wasnât her fault, she just wanted to do what was right. He walked over to a nearby lake. âLetâs just set up camp and rest up.â
She nodded.
It took awhile, but they did it. The moon was rising and the sun was setting. The two Changelings set up the tent. They crawled into the tent.
The night was quiet. Blue Fang laid on his side. He wasnât asleep. He couldnât sleep. I wonder how the others are doing. He yawned. He couldnât hear Kydra, she was probably asleep. He closed his eyes to try and fall asleep. He felt a hoof wrap around him. He turned around to Kydra.
âOh! Blue- I- I didnât mean-â
âItâs okay, keep it there.â
âWhy?â
âIf it calms you down.â
âTh-thanks.â
Blue Fang didnât know what to say. Kydra continued to hold onto Blue Fang. Then she felt Blue Fangs hooves wrap around her. Her cheeks were burning red. âB-Blue?â
âShh. Just rest up. Iâm here, and I always will be.â
âTh-thank you.â She hugged him tighter.
The two friends fell asleep in each otherâs embrace for the rest of the night.
Well, that was interesting!

Thanks!
Aww. Changeling love. If they're not careful, they might accidentally reform sharing love.
10120346
Donât worry about that. Iâm almost done with your song.
10120367
Cool.
Oi you bastard (not really). Now I want to listen Sabaton. And I your a sabaton fan as well. This is getting interesting.
