Impius Lepus
"Are you in pain?"
"No."
"You don't feel different in anyway?'
"No."
Twilight huffed, "Are you going to say anything besides 'No'?"
Cyr contemplated and said, "Yes. So what next?"
"No idea. You seem healthy. Your magical output has decreased by a LOT though. I'm afraid the majority of your magic you're familiar with won't be usable from now on. I'll try to tell Luna about it, but you're going to have to keep your hooves occupied while she gets the letter," Twilight said. "Stay away from public eyes. You're suppose to be dead remember?"
Cyr thanked her and walked away through the apple fields, feeling like he had the air of a Changeling patient with a case of terminal thorax rot. His image flickered as he stubbornly attempted, and failed multiple times, to cast an disillusionment spell
Twilight returned to the farm and tried to think of something to say that would supplement Cyr's mood, when a familiar face popped out.
Applejack greeted her, "Howdy, Twi. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine AJ," Twilight answered, "Just had to tell our guest the bad news."
"How is the big feller?"
"He's healthy, and somewhat still his regular size. But he's starting to struggle using his magical abilities. I think he's kinda depressed about it. Say, you don't have anything else to do on the farm, do you?"
Applejack replied, "Not really. The big guy already took care of that."
"Well, can you keep him distracted? I'm a bit worried that he won't be acting his usual self from now on. And I can't be watching him constantly. Cadence is starting to have a little trouble with her side of the kingdom, and I think I'll probably have to go over there sometime soon. I'll be taking leave, but can you give Cyr something to do while the Princesses decide what to do?"
"Sure thang. Gotta help out our friends don't we?" AJ called out, and Twilight was starting to trot out of the farmland.
Twilight turned and smiled, "Glad we all think about him that way."
Cyr just had to ask. He wasn't one to involve himself into things without a "where" and "why".
"So....Any reason why you're dragging me near town?"
Applejack said, "Carrot Top has a vermin problem in one of her cabbage patches. Don't see why we can't help, can we? While Ah try to talk to Fluttershy about it, you'll have to guard it for her."
"Awfully nice way to treat the competition."
"She's been through a lot, that one. And you always manage to cheer 'er up."
Cyr went silent and said nothing for the rest of the trip except for a cryptic reply, "So it seems."
They arrived at a rather damp portion of the Ponyville swamplands. Hooves caked with mud, the pair trekked on until they arrived at a fenced area in the marshes. Cyr saw bobbing up and down a carrot-orange mane that he had been accustomed to see the past few days.
Hearing the wet suctioning of hooves pulling and plopping themselves through mud, the owner of the mane rose her head and directed herself towards her arriving friends.
Carrot Top welcomed, "Hiya! Small world, huh? I can never seem to get away from you guys!"
"Ready to go to Fluttershy's, CT? Got somepony to keep an eye on things!" Applejack said. "Right, big guy?"
Cyr whispered to Applejack, "You really haven't told me what I'm supposed to do when we got here."
"Relax. Carrot Top and Ah will be back in a jiffy. CT says it might be a rabbit infestation, but Ah can't really be sure," Applejack replied. Her and Carrot Top started their journey to Fluttershy's cottage, leaving Cyr in the marshes.
Some time later, Carrot Top admitted her doubt, "You sure he can handle it?"
Applejack smiled and added, "Ah'm sure."
Not much to do around here except listen to the frogs sing and the marshes bubble
Cyr sighed and got up from a rare patch of dry soil that was sieged upon by hoof-deep water and oil-like sludge surrounding Cyr.
Why she picked a swamp for raising vegetables, I'll never know.
Suffering from boredom's grasp, Cyr started to inspect rows of cabbage patches. They were decently healthy, except for some he encountered.
The rotting brown balls, which managed to camoflauge themselves into the muddy waters perfectly, were clothed with wilting leaves and exposed roots that were visible from the ground up. The heads of cabbages' natural yellowish/green had faded, and instead cast a deathly infusion of brown with specks of purple. Foreboding its fate, one of the cabbages had a neatly scribbled sign (if there ever was such a contradiction that Cyr would consider true...) declaring:
"Varmints ate this; Use as fertilizer"
'Tis a pity. Something born for life, marked for death.
Why I have such sympathy for a single head of cabbage, I'll never know....
This might be because of utter boredom, but I still can't believe I'm going to do this for, what? A bunch of plants that are going to be consumed anyway?...
Cyr imbued the plant with some of his love. With a few seconds of saturation, Cyr stepped away and viewed the greenish hue, and some of their size and leaves, returning. He continued this for a couple more of the ill-fated cabbages until he reached one that was being attacked by a mass of white fur.
"Um...You mind not doing that?" Cyr requested. He knocked over the animal with a light push from his hoof to reveal that the rabid blur of mass was in fact a bunny rabbit.
The animal gave him an annoyed scorn, as if Cyr had interrupted him in a task that would be considered imperative.
"Look, I've been working the past couple of minutes trying to fix what you wrought unto the cabbage patches. Can you please stay away from here now on?"
The bunny stuck out a tongue and blew a raspberry. That cheeky....
"I want to be nice about it. I really do. But your attitude isn't helping. These plants aren't your own."
The bunny shook a paw at him. No, wait. One of his individual digits positioned in the middle of his paw was poking out of the closed appendage. He returned to his feast.
"I'll ignore what you just did, and your brash impetuousness, if you walk away right now. Or I WILL use force," warned Cyr.
Come on, you insignificant mammalian pest. I dare you....
The bunny rabbit stared at Cyr. And he stared back. After an intense 5 minutes of complete eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, hate-driven staring, the bunny started to back off.
"That's more like it-oof!"
A partially-consumed, rotten vegetable was thrown at Cyr's head, staining his brow, cheek, mane-frill, and fangs with bacterial-infested juices that stank to high heaven.
At that certain moment, Cyr's veneer of patience, carefully maintained after centuries of mental and physical barrages, broke.....into trillions of dissolving shards. That were then incinerated into oblivion by his incurred rage.
Deciding to conserve his almost diminished supply of love, Cyr decided it to be far wiser, and satisfying, to physically enact what he was going to do to the little beast without his weakened forms of Changeling magic.
With a speed that contrasted with his sluggish manner of trotting and his tank of a body, Cyr swung a hoof into the bunny's body, shooting it across the field into the swamp.
"EAT DIRT AND SCUM, YOU RODENTIAL CRETIN OF PESTILANCE AND FUR!" roared Cyr.
Invigorated by his success, Cyr nearly hadn't noticed the sea of white fur that rushed out of the shadows of the swamp, led by the kicked-at bunny rabbit. And noticing the similar characterisitcs of the army of rabbits (some even had eyepatches, beards, and tribal tattoos), Cyr observed that the probabiliy they were the kin of the abused bunny were very, VERY high.
Cyr chittered a swear, and bellowed, "If you think your family of inbred yodels and hicks for rodents will conquer me, than I surely was not given the name 'Cyrilius' at birth!"
It was official. Cyr was no longer sure that he was born with his namesake. And he didn't even believe his reality as a Behemoth was possible any more. Why you may ask? Because none of this should be happening, ESPECIALLY this.
Cyr wished he had wings again. The feeling of having the knowledge you could escape all your earthly troubles with just a tuft of membrane grown on your back carapace and a wing flap-rate of 300 movements per second was extremely comforting. Cyr would have given anything right now (A limb, a heart, or a lung) to get some wings right now, since he was being chased by a horde of bunny rabbits, that are actually omnivorous.
I bet all the ponies here already know that rabbits especially favor the nutrients and crunch of bug chitin. Curse their hypocritical allowance to let potentially carnivorous animal species live amongst them!
And I don't even think they'll believe me if I told them that they like eating bug species, especially Changelings. Even with the teeth marks and chunks on my carapace that I believe are missing right about now.
He looked behind him. The horde was gaining on him. They already tasted his flesh, and now they wanted more.
Panicking enough to actually run into and through trees, Cyr sprinted out of the swamp and headed towards Fluttershy's cottage, which was fairly close the swampland, thankfully.
Well look at the bright side, Cyr. They won't be eating those cabbages for a while now....they have you as the main course.

Here guys! Whew! Sorry, but I was busy with real life crap and my Dead Space crossover story
Will any of you interested in reading take a look at it? It's not getting enough exposure. Thanks guys!
Dead Space: Valor in Laughter
Do you guys want me to be working on this, or the crossover more?
Read later. Changeling now. Aaand Why wub who man.
How big is Cyr again? And how big are the bunnies by comparison?
Well shit. Them rabbits be tough mofo's.
Well I for one would like to see this through to completion. While the Dead Space crossover is an interesting idea, I prefer non-tragedy fanfiction... and I honestly have a hard time imagining Pinkie Pie dealing with necromorphs.
1408608
Cyr is slightly taller than an alicorn, but I have to remind you that those rabbits can swarm you....and partially consume your carapace (so...Cyr's kinda outmatched)
1408628
What do you mean? The reason I picked Pinkie was because she's...Pinkie.
1408600
Wut? Are you high?
Oh Cyr, when will you learn?
1289677
Go at it! What I do is when I get an idea I just write it and keep going until the ideas stop. You can then edit it later and stuff. If you have ideas don't let them slip.
1408925
Already submitted it and got it approved. Wanna read some of it?
Dead Space: Valor in Laughter
1408955
Wow. I thought this story was recent as were the comments. Oh well. Good story on both ends never the less.
1408966
Thanks!
Read through all the parts. Only real 'ugghh' error I could find was 'Sweetie Bell' which should be Sweetie Belle. The Applebloom/Apple Bloom thing is a thing of preference but Sweetie Belle is pretty much solidified.
1409024
Sorry bout that. I'll fix it. But thanks for the fave anyway! Did you like the storyline so far?
1409035
Yep. I liked it.
1409043
Fixed the mistake. And thank you!
(btw I hope I didn't imply the whole thumbs-up/thumbs-down system when I asked you whether you liked it. I don't want to force people over the internet to like my stories....)
1409055
Meh. I liked it both ways.
First of all, I have to admit.I am impressed. You actually answer every comment. Rare find, that. Especially on popular stories such as this.
Now to read it. Because Changeling and/or Luna fics are best fics.
Bunnies are dangerous. True story.
I vote continue this one.
Based on prior experience on Changeling fics, this one better be at least okay...
I want to stomp on those evil rabbits.
rabbits never trust them ever
Will anypony win against the rabbits? This is like Link and the Cucoos.
1409107
Thank you! I like to talk to people. Helps with the feedback process, and I get lonely sometimes
1409322
No problem. Wait...You actually called this a good fic without reading it first? You and I are going to be best friends
1409708
Sorry, but school, prep for colleges, family issues, and writing for other fics sort of force me to write short chapters.
Again, sorry. But I don't really have a choice here.... DON"T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!!
1409195
Yes master.
1409210
Yes! Someone agrees with me!
I approve of this chapter although it was a little short atleast you are updating me and my 11 changelings would like to give you these
and this
I love how the story flows you are a great writer.
. Also I am looking forward to the next chapter.
.
1410863
Thank you kind sir/madam! Have a spike and a cookie!
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Choco_chip_cookie.jpg
1410739
YES! Mission Accomplished! Sorry but I'm busy with school work all the time and I have the Dead Space crossover to work on too!
This update hopefully makes up for everything! Thanks for understanding!
1410869
Noobbrony : cookies
as
Dipzy Doo : muffins
Thanks. Numnum num. Oh double chocolate chip. Amazing!!!!
I have a feeling that Angel Bunny is leading the charge...
Haha, it's the rabbit mafia's thugs. Run, Cyr run!
1409107
Some of the best, that is.
I came here for a Celestia/Luna/Discord background story, then stayed for the changelings. Then I got bored of the changelings due to incredibly infrequent updates, and found other things. Now I have another changeling, and that's fine by me.
oh no it turned into a zombie fic lol.
damn those bunnies guess they learnt a thing or two from the holy grail
1408550 DEAD SPACE IS ALWAYS GOOD, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON THESE STORIES BLAH BLAH BLAH.
SO Cyr can fight off army of night guards with spears and Alicorn of the night, ressist tons of shots what would level the city, but he can not handle teeth of rabit army, what a shame, come on, even his erquice move would be enogh of AoE attack to knock rabit army.
I like the Behemoth story more but keep them both up =D
1412732
Hey, you can probably take on a couple of those Guards yourself in real life, but if a pack of carnivorous bunnies attacked you, you're saying that you can fend them off?
What they lack in size, they make up for in ferocity. And he got most of his abilities taken away remember? No ROFL stomping this time.
1411778
I see. Gotta make character development more subtle next time.
ZERG RUSH! Build siege tanks and bunker marines for our counter-oh wait...This isn't Starcraft!
1421829
Well...at least you didn't hate it
I hope....
1415368
yis yis. do gud. do gud is gud idea.
1422520
I never got to thank you for all the corrections....
So thank you! I owe you!
And I never got to say that your avatar is adorable!
Angel Bunny makes so much more sense now. Clearly this is some of his extended family.
1425716
The authors I'm currently pre-reading/editing for aren't giving me enough work anymore. Shall I add you to the list of authors I'm currently pre-reading/editing for?
1437454
Do whatever that floats your boat. I already have two pre-readers that correct stuff for me on this fan-fic.
But I would love for you to keep on doing what you've already been doing. It's really helpful, but I hope that you're doing this because you enjoy the story, not just because you need work to do.
Thank you for the offer though! I would prefer you edit like you've always done, but whatever your heart wishes, I will approve of.
1440766
IKR?
Ah, if only this was April Fool's Day....
1439428
Lulz. If I didn't enjoy the story, I wouldn't read it. I shall do as you wish, master.
If it were true, that editing was just busy-work for me, what would the correct word to describe me be? Shallow? No... my vocabulary is suffering.
1410869
Dat cookie
is fail
IS NOT TrANSPARENT
1441215
Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you(if I did). I somehow manage to always make whatever I say over the internet sound like I'm the most obnoxious person alive.
But YAY! I got myself another editor!
1442455
You didn't offend me. I actually want to know what the proper word is. I am seriously disappoint in myself for not being able to figure it out.
Oh, and one of the guys on my list has at least 4 other editors atm, and his works are still pretty evenly dotted with errors.
*wewt* responded within the hour
