Changeling Drone 626 had considered a lot of things after being banished from the Hive. Most of these things consisted of cursing whatever deity above decided to ruin his life by making him the way he was, wondering if there was any point in moving forward, and questioning his own sanity in a world without the Hive Mind to lean on for comfort.
What he did not consider was the possibility of ever being accepted by the ponies, much less becoming a part of the nation’s only self-defense system!
With a past he'd rather leave behind, and a future filled with only more uncertainty then before 626 could only wonder one thing...
Why did he ever think it was a good idea to go into that silly little pony town, regardless if it was a favor for Zecora or not!
Welcome one and all to my own take of the series! Yes yes I know its cliched and done a thousand times, but what can I say? I couldn't get the idea out of my head once it was in there, and I figured it was my turn to give this whole 'Seventh Element OC' idea a shot.
So read on dear friends and readers, as we journey through the story we all know and love with a new twist! Let's see how long a defective changeling can survive being a part of the Elements of Harmony, and considering its me writing this you know some good old DWC chaos is around to help in the 'fun.'
I give him a week before a mental breakdown hehehehehe...
Big thanks to the amazing Puzzling Frost for proof-reading and editing the story! He does a amazing job and the story wouldn't be as good as it is without his help!
you have my attention. And is the number 626 a lilo and stich reference?
You're going to want this "prey", not that "pray". The pray you have chosen deals more with religious affairs and the other prey deals with thing such as hunter & hunted.
PRAY:
Verb: address a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity or other object of worship
Adverb: used as a preface to polite requests or instructions
PREY:
Noun: an animal that is hunted and killed by another for food
Verb: hunt and kill for food

Doh! Thanks for catching that!

You're welcome.
Not positive, but I believe lest may be better than least. Comparing the definitions of both, lest appears to be the better choice.
LEST
Conjunction: with the intention of preventing (something undesirable); to avoid the risk of.
LEAST
Determiner: smallest in amount, extent, or significance
Adverb: to the smallest extent or degree
Adjective: used in names of very small animals and plants, e.g. least shrew
Hi! I look forward to reading this. I looked at the ratings of your other stories, and you have a good track record.
I'm unashamed to admit I'm a sucker for these types of stories, so I'm excited to see how this goes
If I had known hunger could get this bad I would never ha-No!
There you go, the error is fixed. Unless you were going for humor in which case it doesn’t need to be changed.
Damn you for ending this on a cliff hanger!
You’re a madman.
I couldn't stop laugh at this due to my brain giving me the mental image of 626 suddenly transforming into Stitch
Other than that thought, I am loving this story so far and can't wait to see what happens next for our favorite bug.
this has me slightly concerned
Without going to into too heavy spoiler territory, how big are these possible changes?
Like twilight not becoming an alicorn, or certain events or characters that happened in canon flat out not happening?

I'm a firm believer in the idea that all it takes is the smallest addition to cause big changes. So adding a OC into the canon events basically means every canon episode will be effected in one way, shape or form. Does that mean some canon episodes will have different outcomes, sure. Does that mean some big stuff down the line may or may not happen the same, maybe.
My goal is to take every episode from canon and add my own twist to it with 626 heading the changes. Some eps may just be the same with a faster conclusion or even a more drawn out one thanks to 626, and some might be 'skipped' in the sense that 626's involvement causes the problem of the week to be solved before it begins. Or some new, original stuff could happen that overshadows the canon ep. Like maybe one episode happens in the background while 626 deals with his own problems/adventure.
I hope this eased your worries! But I can guarantee that no matter what I'll be giving it my all to make this story as interesting as possible.

thank you for the reply
and yes, this has eased my concerns greatly and I eagerly look forward to more chapters
Your chitin cannot be both rough and smooth. Maybe you meant tough?
More.
Oh Flutters, you did a thing.
Skipped right past Applejack, eh? We saw that!
Wonder what Zecora had him gathering...
Keep going! ;)
Any updates soon? This is pretty good.

Accidentally slipped into 2nd person for this paragraph...
*checks watch*
continue this or im sad
10473139
A bit off topic but just wondering if you plan to continue the comment driven story?
Continue this story or I will poke it with a stick.
And that’s not a threat, it’s a promise.
Awesome chapter!!!
It makes the first episode look more deep, like in season 5, when we see Rarity and Applejack solving a friendship problem and then the episode with what their siblings did at the same time.
Ok I warned you. *pokes story with a stick*
10785177
We need a bigger stick, that one didn't do anything.
10872379
But where are we going to get a stick big enough?
Lol he’s literally wearing Rorschach’s mask from Watchmen.
Known
You mean the rich from the poor?
There should be a comma between ant colony and once.
Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away, a certain sith lord gives a nod of approval.
Is his drone number a reference to Stitch from "Lilo and Stitch" series of films?
Dead.
hope the next chapter(s) come out fairly soon, please and thank you!
I seriously want to see more of this! How a changeling would do or interact within the canon timeline! To see how he would face or do in those situations or he could just laid in his home not mostly aware what's happening (:
is this canceled it seems interesting so far
11369912
