My life with Ponies...

First published

Radar, a god like carnivorousness reptile with a past with Luna, is thrown into the affairs of our favorite 6 ponies and Equestrea, and all this while keeping the Changeling Empire a secrete.

I have lived a simple life, sleep, eat, drink, and keep other carnivores away from the ponies. I have two Changeling children that like to play with me as well. I have been here longer then the ponies have and I know much more then them. I try my best, but when crazy things start happening to them from the inside, how am i going to keep things normal?
My name is Radar, I'm a Rantársaurus, and this is my story

If you don't like the story then tell me why in the comments.
Something that had came to me at home. He is not a real Dinosaur just a made up one.

Rantársaurus "Radar Lizard"

The sun was bright over the lake as fish jumped out to catch some food. The wind was light against my side as I watched the fish hunt in their own way. About ten yards to my left was a rather large Manticore, or what was left of him at least. He attempted to take my tertiary to get to the pony towns that lay at the heart. He didn't get too far though. So on a full stomach I had stretched out to my full eighty foot length in the shade provided by the trees. Perhaps I should explain myself before I get too far. My name is Radar, I prefer to keep my age to myself but I am more than twice the age of the princess of the sun. My height at the hips is around thirty-five feet and I weigh twenty tons. All together I am the largest carnivore in the Everfree forest. Now some may say that the largest carnivore was the Ursa Major, well that would be true but because of the lack of meat for an animal that size, it would revert to eating trees therefore making it an omnivore. The only reason they are seen as carnivores is because of their large sharp teeth, of which are mainly used for cutting trees. They almost never eat meat.

So ya I am the largest killer out here. I don’t count dragons because the large ones only migrate here for the summer to mate. What relay matters is what I have to kill with. First thing on the list would be the eight inch serrated teeth, And the bite force strong enough to make a Hydras spine look more like a pile of gravel. The next thing would be my arms. They can stretch out 9 feet and grab something and dig into it with the one foot raiser sharp claws, five per hand as well as the armor plating on my back and sides. Then there is my head, a reinforced skull that protects my brain, which is larger than anything else i know other than the Ursa Major, and my Spermaceti Organ. A body part that creates sound waves like the ones from sperm whales. Mine has the capabilities to create a sound wave so strong, that it can be used to disorient my pray.

So ya, my life is good. But one thing that confuses me is that the ponies have no record of me. They know more about changelings then they do about me, and to them changelings are a fairy tale. The largest carnivore that stays here year round and they don't even know it, well other than Discard and Luna but discard's in stone and Luna is on the moon after her new spell went wrong over 1000 years ago.

So, I’m sitting here, looking over the water, when something hits me, in the back of the head, hard. I roar up and everything went quiet. I stand up and rotate to face what had hit me, when I saw nothing. I turn around and see a cylinder sticking out of the ground. Walking over to it, I pulled it out of the ground, it was made of mettle, vary old mettle at that. It had some interesting creases and looked like it was made from old world armor. I tore the nose off with a great amount of effort. This was some top grade armor, and it did not look like it had any deterioration at all. Inside had paper that looked to be made from a very old recipe with plants. I unrolled the paper, of which was smaller than my palm, and read to myself,

"Radar, if thou find this then it means that thy are still alive and still in the Cantrlot area.
I need thy help 1000 years after my imprisonment, the sun celebration on this date is when I can escape. I have created a spell that will reverse this nightmare I have become. I require as much time as possible, I plan on holding my sister for most of this, but if any of her guards or brave townsfolk attempt to chase me than thou must hold them back. On this night I will return to my castle to perform this spell but by doing so will leave me at risk of attack. I ask of you, meet me at the castle, protect me during this time at all costs, then will things return to how they were."

Signed Luna"

This was nothing I was expecting, but the sun celebration is in 4 days and I’m at the other end of my territory from there. Well, guess my brake is over. I grabbed a large chunk of the manticore flesh and rushed off into the forest. New mission from an old friend in need, this should be a piece of cake.

On my way through the forest, I sensed that I was not alone. I used my "radar" to look around and found that it was my two friends, Colicer and Ralisea, trying to sneak up on me from the tree I was next to. I put the manticore meat down and use my tail to smack the tree trunk. Almost instantly, the two black forms fell out of it and landed on the ground.

"Colicer, Ralisea, you know you two can’t sneak up on me. I can see you in more ways then one."

Colicer, an older changeling, about in his teen years, had a light blue torso plate and was male, was the first to reply. "We can still try."

Ralisea, slightly younger then Colicer, and with a light pink back plate, and was female, stood up from the ground. "We are getting better, last time you saw us in front of you"

"That would be because I have something to do, I have told you about Luna right?"

The two changelings looked up at him and nodded. "ya that pony goddess that controlled the moon a long time ago."

"Yes, well it would seem that she is coming back and needs my help to fix what happened." At hearing this, the changelings looked up at him with the closes thing to puppy eyes a changeling could get. "Can we come too?"

"I don't think that is a good idea, I don't want you two to reveal the existence of changelings. That would end vary badly for you and me."

"Oh ya, forgot that part" Ralisea said in displeasure. They both put their heads down and started to walk back to their hives, of which were two diffident hives altogether.

I felt bad that they had got in into a mood like that so I said the best thing I could "aw hell, how about i bring you back some emotions for your families?"

And of cores, at herein this they both ran back with smiles on their faces that I swore would tear a muscle. "Thanks Radar, don't forget that my hive feeds on excitement." Colicer said, almost jumping up and down in glee.

"And that mine takes relief" Ralisea said, the smile stretching from one side of the face to the other.

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget" Ralisea and Colicer ran off in opposite directions and thanked me all the way till I couldn't hear them.

Ok maybe I left out something back at the lake. i have the capability to store and use emotions like changelings. I use anger and pride to heal my back armor in a fight mostly but I can store other emotions as well. They just end up on my tail as a thin coating in there solid form of small crystals.

So back to that job.

The start of something new

I had received that letter almost 4 nights ago. I was running late and was at least two miles from the old castle and tonight was when she would make her move. I was on the border of the Everfree forest and the small pony town called "Ponyville". Apparently they were not too good at naming smaller towns...
I was about to start back on my way when a faint blue mist rose up from what I presumed to be the town hall. "Luna, your home" was all I said before I went full speed for the castle.
I was starting to head over a small hill when my feet started to lose there hold in the ground. Trying frantically, I used my arms to regain control before I fell off the cliff at that bottom of the hill. Stopping just before my feet hit the edge.
The next problem came in the form of my most popular food source, a manticore. So, I had no time to sit around and play with this guy so as he lunged at me I grabbed a tree, and bashed his face with it, for what I could tell it also left a small sliver in his paw but he was too out cold from the hit to realize it.
The next problem was a serpent, purple with a yellow mustache, he was the only thing in the river so I tried to just pass him, well he started to get annoying saying that I wasn't fashionable enough to be around him and he kept blocking the path. I was getting angry at his crazy games and said "ok now if you do not let me pass then I will rip half of that oversize whisker you call a mustache off your face".

I trumped onto the other side and shook the water off of me. I could still here that guy crying about his face as I spat out a clump of yellow hare onto the ground. I was running late so I started to speed up making the ground tremble around me. I could see the front gate of the old castle, as well as the rope bridge that spanned across a raven. My best choice would be to go around but time was not kind to me. I backed up about 75 yards and started to run as fast as I could, as I reached 30 MPH I could see the gaping hole in the ground approaching. As I reached the final push I grabbed a tree and used it to push myself up higher. Somehow I landed on my feet on the other side taking the bridge out in the proses, then I face planted into the stone wall taking it out. Trying to regain control I fell over next to what was the main hall. Hitting my head on a rock everything went black.

........................................................................................................................................................................

I woke up to bright lights coming from the main hall, I had slid down a hill and was some ways away, but I could also see Luna, bright cracks in here side meant that she had already started the spell, and the bright lights further down the main hall I could only guess to be the elements of harmony, "I let you down once, I will not let you down again,".

Point of view change.

Alright girls, you ready?
I got nods from all of my new friends and we started to charge up the elements to finish off what nightmare had started until applejack taped me on the shoulder.
"What is it applejack?"
"Twilight, ah think we aren’t alone out here" she was pointing to a small puddle of clear water, nothing happened until a light rumble sound like thunder rippled through the air. The puddle seemed to move as if some pony had dropped a pebble in the middle of it. The rumble came again and so did the shaking of the ground and vibrations rippling the water. Then, from over the side of the wall, a deep gurgle made every bird that hadn't fled, flee. As things went from one to another, a massive head rose up from behind the remains of the wall. The head was almost as big as nightmare and had a row of teeth hanging over the side of the lower jaw. The animal was massive as it walked right through the wall as if it wasn't even there and it stood between us and nightmare, it looked back from us to nightmare when nightmare spoke to it.
."Radar, you’re still alive"

Point of view change

"Alive and kicking Luna" I said in a whisper, she was laying down as the white cracks grew along her neck. Once they all met at the tip of her horn she would be free. I looked back at the six mares who were welding the elements and looked at Luna. She gave a nod and that was all I needed to know that they were a threat to her. I began to charge up my "sound wave canon" as the mares stood there, horrified to see that I was with Luna. Only a little bit more time was needed, at least five more minutes till the spell was done. I gave a low rumble from the bottom of my throat to warn the mares that they best be on their way back home. They didn't get the message.
The elements started to glow again as a rainbow light was being emitted in a ball above them. And at the last second, they shot it at me. A blinding light of rainbows raced at me with tremendous speed, and when they hit me I was pushed back three feet. Other than that, nothing. They stood there, dumbfounded on why there attack didn't work. I spoke in a low tone where only Luna could hear it, "My turn"
I released the sound energy that had been building up at them. They hit the deck and still they got shot back about 50 feet to the door, or what was left of it. Daze and confused I used this time to my advantage and garbed a pillar, it was heaver then a tree but it would do. I rotated to my right and spun back with the force to send that pillar on its way when I let go. The pillar landed near the ponies but didn't do much but make one cower behind her pink main. The pillar shattered into shards and landed just about everywhere. three more minutes for the spell.
I was just getting started when a rainbow manned pegasi raced at me with speed I couldn't imagine were possable. I was pushed back a foot by a kick but I bit down on her tail. As she tried to fly away as I flung her at the others sending her into a tumble.
Next inline was an orange earth pony with a ,lasso? How desperate were they? The lasso landed around my jaws and clamped them shut to my amassment and shock. But if there’s one thing to know, you don’t make it so that the one you’re attacking can’t fling you across the room, of which I did just that.
The white unicorn used her magic to catch the orange earth pony in midair and pulled out a thin purple scale I recognized to belong to that crazy serpent. She flung it at me and ran after it, things slowed down at this point. I angled my side so the scale would just bounce off my armor plating and rose just in time to doge a kick to the face. I reached for her tail to find it to be short, putting my head in a vulnerable position for her to kick my nose. I roared up and spun around, sending her tumbling back from a hit with my tail.
As she regained her balance, a pink earth pony came in... Hopping? About three hopes past the white unicorn, she disappeared in thin air. I looked around for her when somehow she popped up on my head and was bent over looking right at me. This, to tell the truth, almost made me shit myself. I roared back and tried to fling her off when she disappeared again. Looking around frantically, I found her siting on my foot. I tried to kick her but she hoped off at the last second and was now hanging on my tail. I flicked my tail once and she finally came off but somehow landed on her hoofs, unscathed by all of it.
Next came the last two mares, a yellow pegasi and a purple unicorn, they trotted up to me and the purple one whispered something to the pegasi. With a sigh the pegasi flew up to my eye line and started to speak, but not in equestreanease, but in reptilian. Somehow this pony had learned how to talk a language that should have been impossible for any mammal. She simply asked what I was doing and asked if I could leave, if I wanted, she added in the end. My reply was not in reptilian, "well thanks for the effort but I can speak your language." well, she fainted out of the air. The purple unicorn used her magic to catch her and laid her down on the ground. Then she started to talk "H-hi there, m-my name is Twilight Sparkle, M-might I ask why you attacked my friends?"
"Well, one, they came at me, and two I have to protect Luna during the spell."
"What spell is this exactly?" she asked.
"That one" I replied, looking over to where the spell was finishing its work. The cracks of light were splitting open relisting beams of brightness into the air, and in seconds, a bright flash bright enough to make it seem like day obscured my vision. And in the same second, it was gone, leaving the smaller light blue alicorn I came to protect. I slowly walked over to her and laid down in front of her with my head held high.
I nuzzled her body and she slowly came to. The bright blue seas in her eyes never lost there color after 1000 years. I could since the 6 mares walking up behind me to see what had happened. Twilight sparkle was the first to talk. "So this is why you came? To help save her from what she had become?"
"Yes, and in all truth I would have killed all of you if I had to."
"Ha, ya right." the rainbow mare said.
"Rainbow, Ah don't think you would last too long in a fight with him." the orange earth pony said.
"Perhaps you could introduce me to your friends?" I asked twilight.
"Oh ya, that would help." she answered. "That would be Rainbow Dash" she pointed to the blue pegasi, "that's Applejack" she pointed to the orange earth pony. "That is Pinkie Pie," she pointed to the pink earth pony, "that’s Rarity" she pointed to the white unicorn, "and that’s Fluttershy." she pointed to the yellow pegasi. "Now about princess Celestia..."
"The spell was set up to release her when it was done, no harm has been brought to her." Luna replied.
"Ok so now that's all over, how about we get back to the castle?"
"I second that" Luna replied.
So, we started to walk back when a low rumble shook the ground. All of us turned to see nightmare re-forming from all the shards.
"Oh I am not in the mood for this." I said. i started to turn around when twilight taped me on the foot "don't worry, we got this." she said. Her and the five ponies walked up to nightmare and used the elements of harmony on her, sending back to where she came from.
"So, now that’s all said and done, what now?" I asked.
"Well I guess we get going" Twilight said.
I turn around to find a white pegasi in gold armor sticking a spear out at me. I stared at him for a second before I bit his spear in half. with a cartoon "Nomm". Looking at what had happened to his weapon. He retreated behind ten more pegasi that had just came in. they all landed and in the middle walked in Celestia. She looked at twilight, then at Luna, then at me. Then she asked in a motherly voice "Perhaps this story is best be told back at the castle."
"Yep" was all we said.
"And Luna, it’s good to have you back." she said as she did the equivalent of a hug with her.
"It’s good to be back".

Sometime later

So after I explained what had happened, I returned to the forest where Colicer and Ralisea were waiting by my home.
“So, you get the energy?”
“Calm down Colicer, I have it”
I spawned two football size crystals from my tail where they had been stored, one light blue, and the other light pink.
“Thanks radar” Colicer said as he ran off with the crystal.
“Ya thanks for the help, things are getting tighter with that other hive creating problems about being 20 pounds under their minimum amount”.
“Ya I heard about that, love can be hard to find those days.”
She ran off back to her Hive as I walked back to my cave by the lake. “I wonder what tomorrow is going to be like”.

I am giant and what is this?

So, ever since that fight with the six mares. Twilight sparkle wanted to try something with me. Well that something was a shrink spell and now I’m just a head over the average colt, which, to tell you the truth, peeves me off greatly. On the plus side I can see the town called "PonyVille" in daylight and not send the townsfolk running for the hills.
For the most part.
Well on this one day, Twilight wanted to see if my strength changed with my size. So to test this out, she took me to Applejacks apple orchard and had me help them take carts of apples to the barn. As for my strength, nothing had changed. I was behind Twilight, who had a baby dragon named spike on her back, who was behind applejack. For the hell of it, I was pulling 2 carts while they both carried 2 saddle baskets each, of which looked like the same as one cart each.
My mind was wandering when I heard a low growl. I looked up to hear twilight saying something about the work making her hungry and spike saying he was fine as he tossed some of the apples out of her basket. One hit me in the head and I eschewed a threatening growl back at him.
"Ops, sorry Radar, wasn't looking where they were going." he said apologetically.
"Well just watch where they go next time." I answered, he had been getting on my nerves lately and he always had an excuse.
"So, remind me again why I half to pull two carts?" I asked twilight.
"I’m trying to see if your strength is the same of if it shrunk more then you did." she said, always a scientific answer to this stuff. "You haven’t even broken a sweat, so I guess it hasn't."
When I heard that, the first thing that went through my mind was 'my turn'. "Twilight, I’m basically a bird with traits of a lizard. I don’t, nor will I ever sweat."
"Well then how do you release body heat? Do you pant like a dog?" Applejack asked, quite literally to be blunt.
I stopped and face palmed, "no, I do not pant like a dog. I have areas in my skull that are open and have thin patches of skin and scales. Those holes are directly behind my nostrils and in front of my eyes, the air I breathe in is cooled off and heat is allowed to escape from the areas to prevent overheating. Anything else?"
Both mares stared at me wide eye, Twilight's were filled with fascination, Applejack's were filled with complete confusion. But before she could ask me to say that again, spike burped up a paper.
"hery hery, her grand royal hinus, princess celestia of equestria, is pleased to announce the Grand Galloping Gala, to be held in the magnificent capital city canterlot on the 21 day of, hm.. yada yada yada, curtly extends an indentation to Twilight Sparkle, plus one gest"
The two mares instantly lit up and in unison said with excitement, "THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA!"
"spike, can you fill me in on what just happened?" i asked.
"its a formal party held in cantorlot" he said.
As twilight and applejack danced around, spike looked discouraged and pretended to throw up when two gold tickets exited his mouth and floated down into spikes hand.
"I've never been to the gala, have you spike?" twilight asked.
"No, and I plan to keep it that way, I don’t want any of that girly frilly fru fru nonsense." he replied with a hint of disgust in his voice.
"Might I ask what this gala is exactly?" I asked, risking a double punch in the face from the two mares.
"You've never heard of the grand galloping gala???" they both asked at once. I looked back at them and nodded. “Lived in forest for a long time”.
"It’s a great dance where some of the most important pony’s in equestria go to dance and relax. A dance would be nice". Twilight informed me.
Applejack looked at twilight and exclaimed to her, "nice? It’s a heap of more than just nice! I'd love to go, well shakes, if Ah had an apple stand set up, ponies would be trying to get a taste till the cows came home. Do ya know how much business ah could drum up for sweat apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a heap of picking up round here. We could replace that saggy old roof, and big Macintosh could replace that saggy old plow, and granny smith could replace that saggy old hip. Why, I would give my left hind leg to go to that gala."
"With all respect, that sounds bit too ambitious to happen applejack, I mean the big city’s..." I started but was hushed by applejack "what would you know about big cities? You lived in the forest for yer whole life and ya still do."
"Nothing wrong with trying to apply what i know here".
Twilight looked at us and faced applejack "well in that case would you like to..." but before twilight finished, Rainbow dash dive-bombed both of them.
"I thought you said you were the best flyer in equestria." I asked, remembering the talk we had back at the pales.
"I am, oh what was I doing? Oh ya, are you talking about the grand, galloping, gala?" she said with a smile on her face.
"Rainbow dash, you told me that you were too busy to harvest apples." applejack said coldly.
"Wait, is this why I have to pull two carts, cuss you were down a worker..." I asked, not happy that I could have lightened my load if she had come.
"What were ya busy duin? Spying?" applejack asked coldly again, ignoring my comment.
"No, I was busy" rainbow dash said with a mater-of-factually tone. I looked up to where she fell from and saw a pillow and a blanket on one of the tree limbs, which, could not have been comfortable.
"I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket. “She added, getting higher in pitch as she went.
"Well, ya, but..." before twilight could finish her sentence, rainbow dash jumped into the air "Yes, this is so awesome!" doing a back flip in mid-sentence.
"The wonder bolts preform at the grand galloping gala every year. I can see it now. Everyone would be watching the sky, their eyes glued on the wonder bolts. But then, in would fly... RAINBOW DASH. I would draw there attention with my super speed strut. Then would memories them with my fantastic filly flash."
"Ok, now that sounds so wrong on so many levels." I said, most likely interrupting her daydream.
"Hey, I’m telling the story here. So can it scaly." she replied. I was just about to go all out on her when twilight put a Hoff out in front of me and gave me that ‘don’t even try’ look. i got the message and backed down, still ticked about the name.
"Ok now where was I, oh ya. Aaannddd for my grand finally, the buccaneer blase! The ponies would go wild! The wonder bolts would wish that my signature moves would be incorporated into their routine, and then, they would welcome me as there newest member" thus, ending her daydream.
"Don’t you see twilight? This could be my one chance to show my stuff." she continued, hovering in the air like always.
“Once again that sounds to over the top, they are not going to award you for crashing the show” I said, but clearly none of them were lissening.
"You gata take me!", then applejack pulled her back by the tale.
"Now hold on just one pony peaking minute here. Ah asked for that ticket first" applejack exclaimed, getting up into the blue Pegasus face.
"Ya, well that doesn't mean you own it" rainbow dash shot back.
"Ya, well I challenge you to a hoof wrestle. Winner gets the ticket." applejack challenged.
"Ok, now I think you two are getting over whelmed here. I mean, it’s just a stupid piece of paper." I said, no realizing it till it was too late.
Both ponies looked at me with murder in their eyes. "Just. A. stupid. Peace. Of. Paper!"
"Um... twilight, now would be a good time to make me big again." I said, but instead of doing that, she got between me and them. "Girls! These are my tickets, I decide who gets the extra one thank you very much" she said, I was shocked that she just did that but she continued. "Whoever has the best reason to go should get the ticket, don’t you think?
"That sounds smarter but..." before I could finish, applejack butt in.
"Drumming up business for the farm." applejack started, but was quickly followed up by rainbow, "a chance to audition for the wonder bolts!"
"I’m guna fix granny’s hip!"
"Living the dream!"
"Oh my, those are all pretty good reasons" at saying this, twilight's stomach growled again in hunger.
Looking sheepishly at the other two ponies she shyly laughed and started. "Will you lessen to that? I am starving. Now I don’t know about you, but I can’t make important decisions on an empty stomach, so I’ll think about it over lunch, and I’ll get back to you two."
Spike hoped back on to twilight's back and started back, I unlocked myself and started back with her mainly because she could return me back to my normal size, and so that i wouldn't be alone with the two mares. I looked back to find that the two mares started that Hoff wrestle again and that rainbow dash was cheating by trying to pull her elbow off the table.
As we reached town some of the ponies there started to look at me and some ran into their homes.
"So who are you guna give the tickets to?" spick asked, still riding on twilight.
"I don’t know spike, but I really can’t think strata when I’m hungry. How about you Radar?"
I looked down at her, still having a foot on her in high. I replied, "Well, thinking when hungry is important so I can hunt down pray efficiently and not get injured in the meantime. So ya, I guess I can think when I’m hungry."
"You’re not hungry now, are you?" spike asked me.
"No, I ate before I got here, and my body’s been well tuned to use each bite as much as possible, and since twilight shrunk me, the meal I had before I came should last about 3 days until I have to eat again." I replied to the little purple dragon who was still shorter than me even on twilight's back.
"well, anyway" twilight said trying to get off the topic, "what should we eat?" and as if by timing, that pink devil shot out the door next to us and slammed into twilight, who in turn slammed into me. Sending both of us to the ground.
Being trapped under twilight and spike as well as pinkie was not part of the plan so I shoved both of them off of me and onto the ground, where both tickets landed onto her face.
When her eyes opened up, she screamed out and ran around, sending me over again, saying something I couldn't even tell if it was a language.
When she finally settled down she looked at the tickets with aw. "Wait these are... tickets to the grand galloping gala?!?"
"Oh for god’s sake not again" I said still trying to get back up from the second hit. "what is with you ponies and shiny paper?"
"It’s the most amazing, incredible, tremendous super" and at that point it started to turn into gibberish, turning back to a language at this point. “In all of equestria! I always, always, always wanted to go!" then she started to sing, at that point I high tailed it out of there. Being unable to handle the pink mare and her high pitch voice. I laid down next to a plant where a small filly was hiding in for what I could only guess to be for a game.
When the singing stopped I tried to get back but the filly had claimed on top of me and fell asleep.
I saw from afar rarity, the white unicorn, trot up to spike and say something that I couldn't hear. I started up my radar head when another filly ran up to me and jumped on my face, rendering that more than useless. The second one had crawled up and sat on the top of my head. "Oh please don’t poop yourself on me" I thought. Then a third one came out of nowhere and sat on my neck. I tried to lift my head but my neck and back were sore from pulling a cart built for a pony. So I tried to call out for some help, mostly at twilight or spike but the one who came to me first was a little white rabbit. Who was followed by that yellow Pegasus, I do believe her name was Fluttershy. She gently lifted the three fillies off of me and told them to go home. She then looked at me and giggled. Then, rarity walked up to me, "how strange that one day you can hold off the elements of harmony and the next you get bested by some fillies."
"Ya, well it wasn't my day today, I came over here when Pinkie started singing, she has stopped, right?"
"Oh yes, we all have our ups and downs at some points." Fluttershy said.
"So, where is Twilight anyway?" I asked, looking around and not seeing her or spike.
"She went off to go eat and then she will give me my ticket." rarity said.
"Um... I think she said she hasn't decided yet." fluttershy said
"Oh, well I think there as good as mine, well see you soon, darling." rarity said before she trotted off.
"Well, I’m guna go find twilight before the fillies come back." I said and I hurried off.
I soon found her at a fancier restraint then most in town at one of the outdoor tables. I walked up and sat as strata up as I could next to them. "Oh hi Radar, I was wondering where you went." she said.
"Ya, well things change when you get shrunk down like this" I said as I looked down at the table.
A fancy water walked up and put down two plates with food on them and walked back as if he hadn't even seen me.
"Oh thank you, I’m sure everything will be much clearer once I eat" she said. But before she could take a bite, all the other ponies ran inside the restaurant when the water asked, "Um, madam, are you going to eat your food in zee rain?"
"It’s not raining." twilight said as she looked back up to find that it was but there was a hole in the clouds right over us where it was not raining.
"What’s going on?" she asked when she saw rainbow dash up in the clouds.
"Hi there best friend that I ever had, enjoying the sunny weather?" she asked.
"Rainbow dash, what are you doing...." twilight said.
"What do you mean? I wasn't about to let the smartest, most genres pony get rained on, so I kicked a hole in the clouds so you can dine in peace, that’s all." she replied. My best guess was that she was trying to sway her choice in who got the ticket.
"Rainbow, you’re not trying to get extra consideration for the extra ticket by doing this extra special favor now are you?" she asked clearly getting annoyed.
"Me? Oh no no no, cores not" she replied but twilight wasn't buying any of it.
"Seriously, I’d do it for any pony." when she said this, we looked around and saw multiple ponies running around trying to get out of the rain.
"Rainbow, I am not comfortable accepting unwanted favors so I would appreciate it if you would close up that rain clouded right now." she said
"Um twilight, I don’t think you’re thinking this through all the way." I said but she still wanted the hole patched up.
"ugh.... fine" rainbow dash said as she closed up the clouds like a zipper.
"Thank you" twilight said as she was about to take a bite from the sandwich when it flopped over from being wet as well as her hair. I could see spike trying to suppress laughing when rarity walked up with an over decorated umbrella.
"Ok I can see where this is going so I’ll be back." I said as I got up and walked away.
I made it up to the edge of the forest when I had second thoughts. With everything that was happening. She may need some support, so I turned around and ran back to the library.
When I got there, twilight was surrounded by almost every pony that was in town. I rushed up next to her, trying to give any support, of which, just being there made the ponies back off a little but not far enough to be safe. "Might I ask what I missed?" I asked her.
"No time to explain Radar"
"So what are we guna do Twilight?" spike asked with the hint of fear in his voice.
"We. Are. Going. To. RUUNNNN!" twilight yelled and we ran off in an attempt to lose the mob.
The first choice for a hiding spot was behind an over loaded food cart. But somehow one of the mares was in the building it was next to and another one was in the cart. So off we went again.
The next plan was, for gods knows why, to dress up as a mare with a stroller. Well I had a coat on and spike was the baby with a binky. Well that didn't last lone either when a mare from the mob spotted us. Throwing the costumes off we ran down town and onto a bridge where we hid under it. Twilight and spike were hanging on under it while I was in the water with only the top of my head breaking the waters surfaces. Well spike had to ruin it by falling into the water.
Next up was as manikins in a store. I just hid under a blanket when the mob passed. And when it did, we ran in the other direction. Well, after that, we got corner in an ally the mob right in front of us too. As they neared us, Twilight started up a spell and, believe it or not, made me big again, not that I’m not complaining. Back to full size I looked down upon the mob as they stared up in horror. "I'm giant" I said with a toothy grin.
I lowered my head to the ground and let twilight and spike climb onto my neck. "So, shall we be going to the tree?" I asked her and she nodded. I ran out of the ally as the mob ran for their lives. My head was a good 10 feet above most of the houses so I couldn't get lost. I had an urge to just plow down the houses between me and Twilight's house but resisted it. When we got to the tree I decided to dive down and slid smoothly up to the door, and somehow getting my head stuck in the door way.
Twilight and spike hoped off when the other five mares walked in from another room. Twilight was on the verge of a mental break down so I started to talk. "Ok, so for all of you mares, what does it make you feel that you just completely ruined Twilight's day all because of some damn strips of modified trees?"
The five mares looked away with pout on their faces while Twilight just looked at me, perhaps I went overboard. "Ok, now who’s sorry they put Twilight in this predicament?" just about all the mares looked up and replied "yes", in their own way.
"Thanks Radar, I almost lost it there." twilight said, thankful that i helped her keep her cool.
"So... what happens to the tickets now?" rainbow dash asked.
"I say we have Radar eat them from cake!" pinkie exclaimed happily, with no hint at it being a joke. "Um... no"
"Spike, I've made up my mind" twilight said. "Please right this to princess celestia" and out of nowhere he pulled out a paper and quill.
"Dear Princess Celestia. I have learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there’s not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty bad. So, I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to the grand galloping gala".
"WHAT?" all of the 5 other mares said in unison.
"finally, something that makes scene" i said to no one.
"If not all my friends can go, then I’m not going either. Spike, you can sent the letter."
"Ok, so now that’s all over, can some pony help me get my head out of the door way?"
Apparently, I missed something that lead up to spike holding six of those damn tickets. "Now we can all go!"
"Ok, so is some pony going to help me get out or do I have to demolish this place!"
"One second Radar." twilight said as she used magic to shove my head out of the door. All the mares now had their tickets and were walking off when spike ran out with his own ticket. I looked down at him with a smug smile as he tried to regain his manly hood, or what he had at the time at least.
"So, can you show me how you did that sonic blast thing back at the ruins scaly?" rainbow dash asked mockingly.
"Rainbow, you have 5 seconds to run." I said.
"Run from what?"
"Times up" I said and I chased after her through the town.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the Everfree forest, I trudged through the mud. I was hungry from all the running and all the Manticores would be asleep at this time.
"Perhaps the one from this morning is still there..." I asked myself as Colicer and Ralisea tried to climb a tree 100 feet in front of me. "Silly little ones" I said to myself as I walked on. When I got to the tree they were in, I uprooted it with my claws and carried it with me. "What did I tell you before, you can’t sneak up on me!" they just laughed and giggled as I swung the tree from side to side gently all the way to my lake, where the Manticores remains were nothing but dried bones...

A day in the life.

"For the last time Chrysalis, no!"
"It’s not much! Only 30 pounds!"
"30 pounds of love is not 30 pounds of relief!"
"If you won’t help me then sister Carcen will!"
I was standing at the main gate of Ralisea's hive when a peeved off Chrysalis stormed out with 4 of her guards behind her.
"Ok, what did I miss?"
Zmbreca, the queen of this hive, looked up at me with relief. "Oh Radar, thank the gods your here. Chrysalis came in asking for 30 pounds of emotion to fill there gap. When I denied her, she started a scuffle"
I looked around in the main hall and saw timbers almost as thick as a well-trained solder holding the rock roof up had been torn into more than half way through, some of the decorative stuff like potted plants were shattered and paintings of past hive queens had been turned to shards of emotion jell.
"Must have been one hell of a scuffle, Zmbreca" I said. "Need help with the clean up?"
"Help with replacing those timbers would most certainly help. But I’m more worried about the next hive she goes to." she replied.
"I would think the same, being a little more desperate can create a lot of problems and if she did this here..." I trailed off.
"She could end up starting a civil war between changelings." Zmbreca finished. "She said that she was going to get help from Carcen, and I know that for a fact that she won’t be able to spare the emotion with the new queen on the way."
"Ah yes, she is expecting a new nymph. Which would put her at greater risk if she says no." I said.
"Which is why I want you to get there first," she added. "You are more than capable of helping her out if things do turn farther south than they have here" she said, looking around the room where drones were cleaning the room and preparing to replace the wooden struts.
"I shall do my best." I said before turning out.

................................................................................................................................................

I was running down one of the dirt paths the ponies used to reach Carcen's hive when a stampede of cows came down at me. Not having the time, I roared making them all run the other way. As I started off again, applejack came out of nowhere, not like pinkie pie, but still.
"Hey, I could use some strength here ta help the stampede stop!" she said.
"I truly wish I could but I got things to do," I said. I was about to ask how her brother was after the accident when she ran the other way to catch the stampede.
"I will never understand those ponies" I said to myself.
Back in the everfree forest, I was running to the mountain where Carcen' hive was. The entrance was on the other side, making it so I would have to go around the mountain for the most part. Hopefully Chrysalis wouldn’t dare take flight out here to speed up her time.
When I reached the front gate, which was covered in thick vines and bushes. A dreadnought Changeling stepped out to investigate the rumbling I had caused. Dreadnought changelings were about 3 times the size of a queen. But dreds were more bronze then brains and could barely think outside commands and hardly spoke complicated sentences. It gave a low threatening rumble and released 3 high pitched shrills back into the cave. I returned the rumble with the same monotone and shook my head. Seeing I was friendly, the oversized changeling released two low rumbles into the cave as 10 guards came out.
"I shall get the queen and tell her of your arrival." one said.
"I would prefer that she stay where she is, there are some pressing matters I must speak with her about." I replied.
"As you wish, Radar."
I stepped lightly as I entered. The main hallway was decorated more so then most others in different hives. They had created a smooth flooring with a pattern of different shades of lime green emotion gel, which was easy to crack if hit to hard. The door ways that lead to other parts of the hive were decorated with arches and cloths as doors. The ceiling had well-made chandlers made from gel that was supported by scrap metal. On the end of each branch, was a bio-luminescing form of gel that could light up a large area. Carcen worked hard on decoration and was just making the emotions to feed all of the hive. She liked decorating but she never went over 150 pounds a time when there was a good amount stock piled.
"Right this way, sir" a solder said as he walked down the hallway. We soon came to a large doorway like the one in the canterlot palace. The solder put his horn into a small hole and light spilled through cracks. Light clicking sounds were made to alert whoever was inside that it was being opened.
"One moment, I must see if she is busy." the guard said.
"Please hurry, my news is rather important" I said.
The guard slipped inside and closed the door. I could only hear muffling because of how thick the door was. "The queen may see you now" he said upon his return.
I carefully walked in as the large doors opened. In the middle of the room on the far end, Carcen was laying down on her bed with an assortment of emotional crystals with different shades of green. Her room was lavish with carpeting and mock windows with large bio-luminescing shards of emotion jell behind them enchanted to dim with the sun. I could see from where I stood that her stomach extended about 4 inches on both sides to accommodate the unborn queen. When she looked up and saw me, she had a surprised and worried look on her face.
"Radar, this is a surprise," she said as she looked back into the main hall worriedly.
"I stepped as lightly as I could, nothing got damaged." I said, knowing what she was thinking.
"Oh thank the gods I was about to kill something if I had to replace those tiles." she said with relief.
"Well with what’s coming, that may happen." I said.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"You remember Chrysalis, right?" I asked.
"Sadly yes," she replied, remembering the events of the last queen meeting. "What is she up to now?"
"Her hive is 30 pounds under their limit, she went to Zmbreca's hive for help and when she turned her down, she started a fight." I said.
"No changeling was hurt now was there?" she asked.
"Not that I know of but there was some major damage, any potted plant was shattered, paintings got shredded and supporting struts had almost been blown in half. And that’s what I saw at first glance." I said. “And before she left her hive, she said that you would help."
"I can’t spare a single ounce" she said "I need as much as possible to keep my strength up with the little one on the way" she said as she looked down at her belly.
"Which is why Zmbreca sent me here, to keep any problems from getting out of hand." I said.
"I hope for both of my sake and the hives sake, that you won’t be needed." she said. "But I have no energy to handle her if things do go down the mountain."
"My queen," a guard said as he walked in, he bowed and looked up to her, "Chrysalis has arrived to talk with you."
"You think you can handle this?" I asked.
"No I do not, but with how determined she is, there is no way around It." she replied, "send her in."
"Yes my queen."
"I shall be by your side for this," I said, trying to soak up the peaceful rest while I could. I walked over and carefully laid down next to her bed. "Do not worry."
The doors locks started to click as the bolts came out of there pins. When the door was unlocked, two of Carcen's guards opened the doors to allow Chrysalis and her 4 guards in, giving them a wide birth.
"Radar" she said in surprise, "I was not expecting you to be here as well."
"It is best to expect the unexpected around me" I said.
"Well, perhaps you can wait outside as I talk with Carcen for a moment." she said.
"Why would I do that? I do not wish to damage the floor with extended periods of high weight on them and I wish to comfort her with all the hormones going everywhere." I replied. Carcen looked at me with a smug smile that said 'good plan'.
"Ok, as you wish," she said. "So Carcen, I believe you have herd of out hives state." she started.
"No" Carcen said abruptly. Somehow, either those hormones were off the walls or she suddenly grew a pair.
"What?" Chrysalis asked, dismayed that Carcen had turned her down already.
"I don’t have the emotions to spare, dear sister. I had to stop all decoration production since I learned that I would be a mother." she said. I could sense anger from Chrysalis so I wiggled myself to be ready to block an attack.
"Oh please," Chrysalis mocked "you must have some storage somewhere. Where else could you get that plate?" she asked.
"These crystals are fresh from the collectors, we have almost no build up and everything must either go to the new queen’s development or to the families of my hive." she said sternly.
"I only need 30 pounds of love" she said with desperation in her voice.
"This hive lives on kindness," Carcen said. "In order to make up 30 pounds of love we would need almost a ton of kindness! A ton that we desperately need."
"If you must have the new queens development unchanged then I think the families could-"
"I will not take a ton of kindness from the families who make up this hive!"
....shit just got real.
"How would you know how to tend to the hive? You spend your time decorating it with emotion jell that could be used to become bigger!" Chrysalis shot.
"I do not wish to become over power, like you have, and have food shortages in the coming years." Carcen said calmly, regaining her figure.
"You know nothing about being queen!" she suddenly shouted. "And as a fellow queen, I shall relive you of your duty’s." she said as she lit up her horn for an attack.
I quickly lunged, moving my body so the armored plates would bounce the shot off of me. I moved as she shot the spell off and landed between the attack and Carcen. Instead of bouncing off, it detonated on my side, singing my sails. I rotated about to counter the attack and jumped at her.
I missed her as she went to flank but I took a guard who was charging an attack. I reared up and threw the guard at her, forcing her to fire prematurely, missing Carcen by a mile. Carcen made a B-line to the door and hurriedly unlocked it. When the door was opening, Chrysalis tried to force it closed with her magic. To counter this, I backed up so that my tail was in the way, giving Carcen just enough room to squeak by.
I heard her call for help and armor clattering to the seen. Ten solders came through the hole my tail had kept open and attacked her. She had to cut the spell and start to fight as I opened the doors wider and backed out. My tail was sore from the door being shoved into it but it was worth it. After a few seconds of rest, I waked over to the fight. When Chrysalis was about to slay a guard, I reached down and grabbed her main in my teeth, picking her up and off the floor, and out of the fight.
"Put me down you incomparable beast! Or I shall have you slain by my army!" she shouted.
In response, I swung my head back and sent her off the full length of the main hall and out the door. "Next time you come begging for emotions and start a fight, I’ll take your head off!" I bellowed after her, making the chandlers shudder.
Carcen walked up to me, flanked by 5 guards on each side. "Thank you for your assistance in this matter, mother will hear of this and she will be punished."
"I just hope she gets the message this time around." I said. Knowing that this would not be the last run in with her. Chrysalis’s four guards had started to sneak off when Carcen and her guards went looking. I walked to them and blocked there path. When they knew they were trapped, one with rusted armor walked up, "step aside or we will be forced to slay you."
"Son," I started, "you are going to need an army if you want to slay Me." some of Carcen's guards had trotted up and most held out iron rings that would serve as hoof cuffs.
"Then you leave me no choice." he said, he then lunged into the air, and dove down at me with a rough iron spear. I side stepped and he went into the floor. A lowed cracking resonated through the chamber when he hit. When he got up, Carcen's guards backed away as they saw that the cracking sound had come from the floor tiles.
Three tiles were completely destroyed and a fourth had been cracked in half. When Carcen saw what had happened, her eyes started to glow, but I swung my head in front of her. "You do not have the strength to continue the attack and to keep the new queen safe," I warned. "Best to let me handle this."
Her eyes returned to their original lime green and she stepped back, giving me a nod. I turned back to the changeling who had damaged the floor and looked right at him in the eyes. "I am going to give you the count of three to leave this hive before I make it so that they will bury you in an old soup can."
"You don’t scare me." he replied.
"3!" I said quickly as I scooped him up in my jaws.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO 1 AND 2?!?!" he yelled out. I bashed his head, which was hanging out of my teeth, into the wall twice. I increased the preacher and in less than a second, his exoskeleton cracked open. The taste of changeling blood had no effect on me, I didn’t like it nor did I hate it. As he screamed in pain, I through him at a Dreadnought who had arrived as support and the screams quickly stopped as he was impaled by the Dreads horn, nearly tearing him in half.
The other three changelings, after seeing what had happened to their comrade, stared in disbelief. "Ok you three, same deal, leave in three-" but before I finished, they all raced out of the hive like a bat out of hell.
"You couldn’t have done it any cleaner?" Carcen said, looking at the blood on the wall and now dripping off of the dread, who was trying to take the body off his horn.
"If I did it any cleaner then the other may have given more of a fight." I replied as I walked over to the dread to assist him. When I got there, I reached up with my hand and slowly lifted the body of the former guard off the dreads horn. A grope of guards came over and took the body into a bag so it could be disposed of, guards of an attacking hive were burned more often than not.
"So, anything else?" I asked Carcen.
"Well, now that you mention it, there has been some sort of havoc down in Ponyville and one of our collectors has been injured in the commotion." she stated, "I would like you to return her here if possible, she is with the other collectors as of now."
"Well, being the giant carnivore I am, how will I not attract attention?" I asked.
"She is on the outskirts of town at the moment, she is due to report in at one of the side caves soon, and she will have help by 2 other collectors, her pony Identity is..."

................................................................................................................................................

I walked to Ponyville with a store of relief set with healing powers on my tail, so thin, no one would notice it unless they put a high powered microscope up to it. I was walking around the outskirts of town, head held low to avoid being spotted when I saw a mare wandering to the forest. She appeared to be elder, had a brown coat and a white mane. I recognized her as Mayor Mare, the Mayor of Ponyville. She had a slight limp and was trying her best not to raze suspicion.
I walked to where she would most likely enter the forest and laid down. When she reached me, I let out a slight gurgle, startling her at first, but when she saw me, a wave of relief washed over the disguised changeling.
"My Radar, do not sneak up on me like that, I fear my hart cannot take much more." she said.
"Sorry about giving you the jumps, but Carcen has sent me with the relief package." I replied.
"Oh good, I was starting to think she had given up on me, being the old girl I Am." she replied.
"Now why would she give up on one of the most experienced relief collectors? Now let’s get to that contact cave so I can administer it." I replied. She was in fact, one of the older collectors and was due to retire within a year and start to train the new generation, but with all the ties she made in town, it would make things complicated.
"So what is your real name?" I asked her as I carried her in my right hand.
"My real name is Nita" she replied.
"Ok Nita, we are almost there, let’s hope we don’t get any more surprises or your hart may fail on us."
"Yes that would be very... oh what was the word, I just had it."
"Un-wishful?" I asked.
"Yes, un-wishful, to have that happen so close to safety."
when we reached the cave, a bright lime green fire enveloped her sowing a changeling, her neck fin had turned a much lighter shade of lime green with age and her eyes had darkened, her dorsal plate has also shown signs of wear and tear, becoming brittle as her time on the field came closer to an end, she also had a large gash in her exoskeleton that showed her vulnerable flesh, there was no blood which meant that the internal membrane had held.
The 2 other changelings were already at the cave and had a makeshift home set up. I put her down on the bed and shifted the healing emotions from my tail to my hand in a small stream, forming a good size crystal from one of my claws. One of the assisting drones took the crystal in his magic and administered it to Nita.
The gash slowly closed up as the crystal shrunk to nothing. When it was done, Nita moved her leg as to test it. "Much better."
"I hope so, we need what we can get for the queen." one of the drones said.
"Well, I think it’s time to get you back before they notice your missing." I said. "I can take you to the edge of the forest."

................................................................................................................................................

That day had come and gone as the moon rise over the mountains. I was sitting next to Luna at canterlot palace. The guards on duty went into a full 'headless chicken panic' mode when I walked up but thankfully, Celestia was at the gate to ashier them I was no harm, but most still didn’t trust me.
As I sat under the arch on the open balcony, as to not make it tear off and fall, I thought about what to say. She had been back barely a week and I could tell that the mental and physical strain had been doing quite the number on her.
"So,” started, "is this one of your works," I said looking up at the night time sky, "or is it a forgery?".
"I helped, but sister help mostly." she replied.
"Don’t worry, you will get back into gear sooner or later." I replied back.
"How dose thou, err... How does one... no, not that..." she said, trying to fixate on the new way the pony talked.
"How do you" I said, "its 'how do you know'".
"Thank tho-you" she said, catching herself.
"I know because everything, mortal and immortal, evolved into their surroundings, look at me, I have gone as far away from the last time we saw each other 1000 years ago. And I haven’t been known about until a week ago."
"Perhaps tho-oh cursed, you, have a point." she said. She looked up at me and had a puzzled look on her face. "But how will the ponies in the town thing about me?"
"For the time being, they will think you are some sort of monster, but given time, that image will fade away." I said.
"I know, but my past has been too painful for them to forget easily."
"The past, is history, while the future , is a mystery, but now, is a gift, that is why they call it the present" I said.
"Who told you that?" she asked.
"Some crazy old turtle." I replied.
She gave a light chuckle and got up, "it is time I begin to reattach myself to this new equestria, so I have some studying to catch up on."
"And I guess I’ll take my leave my self, don’t need the day shift to come in thinking I’m trying to eat you." I said.
"That would be most unpleasant, perhaps I shall see you the next sunrise?"
“It’s called 'tomorrow' and perhaps." I replied. As I was leaving, I could hear her rolling the work 'tomorrow' around in her mouth.

................................................................................................................................................

I was back at my lake. A fresh hydra laid near me. It had died on the beach and was here when I came, so I filled my stomach and laid down on a large area of trampled foliage that was where I sleep. I had so much going through my mind that I didn’t see Rainbow dash come into the area.
"Hey, Radar, you awake?" she asked suddenly. Drifting back from the dream world I was just entering, I looked at the multi colored pegasi.
"Well, I am now, what do you need?" I asked, still half asleep.
"Well, I was flying by when I saw you going to canterlot castle when I saw a burn mark on your side." she said.
If I wasn’t awake then, I was now, and the only thing I thought 'aw crap'.
"Ya, what about it?" I asked, making myself sound sleepy to avoided suspicion.
"Well, I know your big, and can have a bit of an anger problem." she said, "but I was wondering how you got a burn like that."
"A dragon got a bit mad," I said, "just got grazed by him in the fight but he left."
"Ok," she said. "How come you didn’t get me?"
"Ok, let’s look at the options," I said, "one, fight a dragon alone and drive him off. Or two, call in a pegasi who could only way at least 100 pounds to a fight where two giants who way more than 20 tons each were fighting in."
"So, you were trying to keep your man hood."
"I guess you could call it that."
"So, you ok? You seem kind of tensed or something." she asked.
"I’m fine," I said, "just trying to figure out how my life will go now that you ponies are in it."
"Well, I’ll make it ausumer." she said.
"I don’t think that’s a word."
"Well, it is now." she said. "Well, just wanted to see how you were doing so..."
"Ok, why did you really come here?" I asked. It was her turn to be shocked.
"Well, when I first saw you, you were like, an unstoppable beast that would eat a god if he wanted to. Now, you are like some sort of genital giant. I was wondering, which one you were."
"Well, it depends on my mood. When I first saw you, you were attacking my friend". I said. “now, I would like to get some sleep" I said, adding a yawn to get my point across.
"Oh ya, well, don’t ov-" by then, I had fallen asleep.

.......................................................................................................................................................

The morning was like any other: wake up, get some food, drink, and work on my home to make it more comfortable, as long as something didn’t tear through and make problems.
The sky was dark with clouds so I was working on the shelter I made some time ago. And by some time, I mean about 300 years ago. It had a leaky roof so I just took a tree worth of branches and put them on the spot of where the leak was. When I had finished the checkup, the rain started. I backed into it and laid down, the ponies didn’t need to deal with this. They controlled the weather in those parts. Here, Mother Nature took its cores and rained at random, or so it seemed.
In the shelter, I started to think about the past. Memory’s came up and ideas from the past emerged.

.................................................................................................................................................

The night was young when I walked through the forest. I had been having those pains again that meant I was evolving again. So I relaxed some form a 20 foot tall carnivore could find. The two, three foot horns above my eyes lead the path as I trumped through the mud, as it had been raining recently. I was climbing a mountain path up to a Plato when I heard something behind me. When I turned to look, there was a Manticore behind me. Knowing what would happen in a fight with one of them, I ran up the mountain at 40 mph as the beast chased me, but fell back.
When I dared look back. I ran right into a large bolder that popped in from nowhere. My horns ached from the hit but I kept going. I didn’t know what it was but some sort of sound came from the path up ahead. When I approached it, I came to a line of bushes that appeared to be rather well maintained. Hoping nothing was behind them, I poked my head through them to find an ode arrangement of materials and more bushes that were smaller and had appeared to have been uprooted and placed in white cloth.
I looked around when I spotted some sort of waterfall in the center of it all, in a circle and white with granite, it had some sort of creature on top carved in stone. When I took a closer look, I saw another creature at its base, perhaps it was getting a drink. But upon further inspection, I found that it has wings and one horn on its forehead. It had a dark blue coloring to it and was rather small. About 4.5 feet.
I realized that I was in the land of self-proclaimed mammals that called themselves 'ponies'. I knew them, but I don’t think they knew me, making my presence a rather un-comfortable one, but I stayed in the bush. The 'pony' by the waterfall seemed to be upset about something as it had barely moved and emitted some sort of sounds, faint, but still there. 'Perhaps it needs help' I thought to myself.
Making the least amount of damage to the bush as possible, I slowly walked up to it. I had reached about 30 feet to it when it must have herd something and turned at me. A look of horror fell on its face and the horn suddenly glowed. I started to back up in surprise but suddenly a beam of light was expelled from the mammal’s horn. I swung sideways to try to dodge it but took the hit, nocking me off my feet.
When I tried to get back up, the mammal was staring right at me. "Why doth thou attack me?" it replied in a famine voice, soft but in control.
She thought I was attacking her, how could I have missed that?
I stayed on the ground, trying to think of a way to speak there language or communicate at least, when some sort of serpent came out of nowhere. It looked like someone went into a zoos graveyard, dug up parts of the animals, and put them together to make this.
"So, thou has had fun at thou wedding?" it said, in a tone that sounded mockingly.
"Discord, what has thou done." she replied.
"Oh nothing of importance, just switched the grooms feeling for you," it replied.
"Have thou not tormented me enough?" the pony asked.
"I’m only getting started, my dear Luna." this discord said. So her name was Luna. That part I had learned. But then it appeared that discord was walking closer to Luna as she tried to back away, but a dark dome took shape above us, secluding them from any outside interruptions.
So, seeing I was the only one able to help, I lunged at discord and landed a hit on his hip with my left horn. Luna jumped back in surprise as discord yelled in pain. I backed away and swung at him with my spiked tail. He tried to doge but has the outer most spike land a hit about 3 feet above the first wound that was gushing a large amount of blood now. I backed off to see where I stood in this fight. Discord had 2 major holes in him and the look of shock and fear were on his face.
I gave off a quick roar, trying to make him back down. He may have been taller than me, but I was about 5 tons and he had to be less than one. Having the advantage, I started to circle him, studying him. He twisted to try to watch me but he winced as his wounds protested. When he turned to look at them, that’s when I strike.
I rushed at him, reaching a good 20 miles per hour in the sort distance and jumped at him, both feet leading and my 4 clawed hands reedy to tear into him. When I made contact, he disappeared and reappeared behind me. When I turned to face him, some sort of wood that felt cold wrapped around me. I struggled to get out but to no prevail.
"Perhaps that should calm thou foul beast!" discord yelled. As he charged up a final attack, a light beam struck him in the side of the head. I looked over to where the beam came from to find Luna, standing strong. At this point, I started up my radar, something I had ever since I was a multi-celled organism. I let it charge up as discord got up from the hit Luna had put on him. When he had his full attention on her, I let the sound wave out.
It hit him and sent him through the black dome. Luna used a light beam to unwind the cold tree that I was in and ran to discord, I did the same.
"You may have won this round," he said, I noticed that his wounds were healing and were almost gone. "But in the end, you all shall die." he said before he disappeared.
I looked behind me to make sure he wasn’t there when Luna spoke. "Thou has saved me," she started. "But you are only a beast from the forest, how could thou care, or even understand me?"
I tried to think of how to reply, when a thought crossed my mind. What would happen if I channeled the sound from my radar into waves like she did from her mouth? So I gave it a try.
"e-expect Th-the unkno-unknown from m-me" I stammers with my first words, which sounded as deep as they could get.
"Thou can speak?!?" Luna said, surprised.
"Ju-just start-starting to." I replied.
"Now perhaps I may properly thank thou for the service."
"No n-need," I started. "Al-all I ask I-is that tho-thou do o-one thi-thing"
"What would this be?" she asked.
"Thou mu-must never sp-speak of m-me to oth-others," I said, "No hun-hunters re-required."
"It shall be done" she said.

"So, what was it like before discord was banished?" twilight asked me. We were sitting at the park and twilight wanted a first-hand account on the events of the past. Since this is better than the last thing she asked for me, I said yes.
"It was rather interesting, there was no boundary between town and the everfree, so there were a lot more problems." I said, I was happy that I was sharing my knowledge with the ponies so that they wouldn’t be so biased on the past. "Back then, after I met Luna, things got interesting."
"Interesting how?" twilight asked.
"Well, let’s just say that before discord went into stone, I made sure he knew what true fear and pain was." I replied, remembering the many times I gouged him with my horns, which had long since fallen off.
"You made the god of chaos afraid?" twilight asked, curiosity in her eyes.
"More than once, you may not know it, but I looked a lot different back then," I started. "Back then, I had two horns, both above my eyes and sticking a good three feet out in front of me, I was smaller, only about 20 feet tall. I also has spikes on my tail and could run faster."
"What happened to all of those?" twilight asked, looking up at me.
"Evolution, my dear friend. I gained size and strength, but lost most of my weapons and speed." I replied. If twilight was confused, then she hid it well. "So what was with pinkie pie before?" I asked, remembering seeing that pink devil run after rainbow dash before I came.
“I don’t know, just being pinkie, I guess" she replied, not really caring, as she was comparing what I said to her history book from the library. "So, on with the story’s."
................................................................................................................................................
I had recently found a nice pond closer to the ponies and had begun to move my stuff to it. I walked carefully through the trees with my own version of a saddle bag, but this was made of thick wood and hydra skin for straps. I put the bags down and slumped over. Overfilling the thing was not a good idea, I unload the stone panels and start to set them up into my shelter. I continued to work on it until I needed more parts of it. I needed to go past PonyVille so perhaps I could visit again.
Putting the backpack back on, I walked through the forest. I reached half way there when I picked up on my changeling friends. Hiding like usual, but they were lower to the ground.
"Colicer, Ralisea, I know your there..." I said out loud. They both run out and jump onto me, which only got them to my knees.
"Hi Radar!" Colicer said as he flew up into my right bag. Ralisea doing the same up to my left.
"So, watcha doing?" she asked.
"Well, I was moving to a new lake. Why?" I ask them.
"Can we help?" they both ask.
"Well, can you lift 5 ton blocks of stone?" I ask them. Already knowing the reply.
"Well, we can help with the little stuff." Ralisea said.
"What are you talking about," I ask, "that is the little stuff."
"Well, can we come and watch?" Colicer asked.
"Um... I was planning on stopping in a pony town to check on some new friends." I reply. "How well can you change?"
“I can fully change into a blue earth pony and copy another pony, other than that, nothing much." Colicer replied.
“I can just make myself look like a pink unicorn..." Ralisea replied.
"That should work, but stay in the bags, don’t need to have trouble with your parents." I replied.
"YAY!"
What have I gotten myself into...?
................................................................................................................................................
I walked carful through the streets as the ponies went about their day. I planed carefully where my next for step would be so that I didn’t step on something or someone. I reached a spot where some shops were set up. I saw Fluttershy escorting a mother duck and her ducklings through the crowed as well as pinkie drinking a milk shake.
"How do I look?" Ralisea asked Colicer in my right bag.
"Good, but do you have to make your mane yellow? It’s a bit bright." he replied.
"Well, ponies are bright," she replied. "Oh and FYI, your horn is showing."
"Oh, thanks." he replayed before a faint shimmering was emitted. "Better?"
"Yes, but you could use some color."
“I haven’t practiced much with this form."
I zone them out as I watch on. I looked around the house tops before looking back down on the streets. There, I saw a griffon, something you don’t see too often. I saw that Fluttershy, who was walking backwards, was going to bump into the griffon, I started to warn her but it was too late.
"What’s going on?" Ralisea asked me. I turn my head to her and shush her. When I turn my head back to Fluttershy, the griffin roars in her face. Making her run in tears. I watch Fluttershy run until I couldn’t see her, then I turn to the griffin.
I take a step forward, cracking the stone and sending a shudder through the town. The griffin turns to me and its eyes grow to the size of a grape fruit. I lower my head so I’m looking strata into its eyes. Taking a closer look, I can tell the griffin is female. She backs up before lunging toward me, but stops short and roars again, as if she was trying to sound louder with momentum.
"Aw, how cute." I reply before I Roar myself.
Ponies ran for cover and the earth trembles. Once I was finished, she had the look as if she stood in front of a fan all day long and had a face of complete shock and fear before she shot up into the air at a speed I thought was faster than Rainbow Dash.
I turn to where Fluttershy ran, thinking about following her when I heard Pinkie Pie. "Woozier! I didn’t think you could be so lowed!"
"You would be surprised." I replayed. "I’m going to go check up on Fluttershy, make sure she’s alright."
"Okoi doke loky, and thanks for putting that meanie in her place." she said before bouncing off.
................................................................................................................................................
The second I got out of town I went into a full run toward Fluttershy house. Following her sent and hoof prints, I soon arrived to her cottage. I lower my head and peered through a window. Fluttershy was laying on her couch, surrounded by her animals, and with her face berried into a pillow+.
"Fluttershy? You ok?" I asked, the animals took one look at me before hiding. Fluttershy looked up to me, I could tell she was crying hard. "Can you come out side?"
She slowly got up and opened her door, I laid down so my head was at the bottom of her front steps. "Hi, Radar..." she says barely audible.
"You ok? I saw what happened in town," I ask. She collapse onto my nose and starts crying again.
“I just don’t know what I did wrong." she said.
"From what I heard, it was what that griffin did." Ralisea said from the bag. Who was quickly hushed by Colicer.
"Um... Who are they?" Fluttershy asked.
"They..." I started out, trying to think of a good lie. "Were out in the forest, I found them and took them home, why they are still with me, I have no idea." I said quickly.
Both of them had stepped out of the bag now. And were in full few. The only thing going through my head was 'oh god what have I done.'
"Aw... their so cute!" Fluttershy says, as if nothing happened. "What are you doing with Radar?"
"Well... we liked the ride so much that we went for round two." Colicer replayed.
"Well, I should take them BACK home now." I said, "You take it easy. Ok?"
"Ok," she replayed in a soft tone.
................................................................................................................................................
"So, care to explain what happened in Ponyville today?" Zmbreca asked me.
"You want the long version, or the short one?" I ask. Knowing that I may have broken a rule or two.
“I want to hear all of this." Caralint, the queen of Colicer's hive said.
“I was moving some stuff to another lake, I just unloaded when I thought about going through town to see some new friends when Colicer and Ralisea showed up. They wanted to come too. And I let them, because they had learned how to change their looks to a more covering extent." I said, stopping to think what I would say next.
"That does not explain why you roared in the middle of that town..." Caralint said.
"in the town, there was a griffin, she made one of the nicest ponies there cry, who was also a friend, all I did was make sure that griffin didn’t cause more harm."
"You didn’t eat it, did you?" Alena, a Queen from another hive asked, her red main covering her left eye. "Because we had a spike in fear in that town when you did."
"No I did not eat the griffin, too many fathers. But I did roar in the middle of the market at the peak of shopping." I reply.
"That would do it." she said.
"You also made a slight decline in love." Chrysalis added.
"Now slight was this decline?" I asked, knowing it would almost be nothing.
"2 ounces less when you walked in, and another 3 when you roared." she sneered.
"That’s not even half a pound, making it irrelevant." I say.
"Not when we are down 35 pounds..." The love eater says.
"How many cities are your changelings in?" Alena asked.
"25 as of yesterday." Chrysalis said.
"And your complaining about a drop in love that’s not even half a pound, in one teeny tiny town?" she said, "you may not be the best queen but I know your better than that."
"Are you mocking me?" Chrysalis asked in a threatening tone.
"What? No! Why would you even say that?" Alena asked, clearly shocked.
"Now girls, we are getting off topic!" Caralint said. But to no effect.
"You dare downsize MY hive while yours isn’t even at 15,000? I have an army larger than that!" Chrysalis shot at Alena.
"Girls, this really is NOT the time or the place for this." Carcen, who was between Chrysalis and Alena said.
"Oh and WHAT do you know? Little miss Nocked up!" Chrysalis yelled. That part drew the line for me so I swung about and slammed my tale between Carcen and Chrysalis, making a large wall between them.
"Even when I’m on trial, I have to save one of you." I said before dragging my tale torts Chrysalis to push her back, tearing up part of the podium in the proses.
Carcen got off her pillow and walked, no, more like strutted, away from chrysalis. But before she got into cover, Chrysalis jumped over my tail and shot blindly toward the other queens. The bolt of energy lined up with Carcen. But before it could hit the Mother-to-Be, Alena swung her body so that the shot hit her spinal plate instead of Carcen’s rear plate. The other queen’s shrieked in horror as Alena was kicked back and fell to the ground. I swung about, and scooped Chrysalis in my mouth. She started to wiggle free but I chomped hard before she could fall.
She was hanging by her mane and screaming at me and the other queens who gathered around Alena. I turned toward the back of the room and swung as hard as I could, letting her go and slamming her into the door, through the hardened emotional gel, and half way across the stone floored hall.
I busted the doors open to shocked workers, I then Bellowed as lowed as I could, "MEDDIC!” I turn back to the queens, they were trying to keep Alena awake. On a closer look, there was a large crack running the thickness of the red spinal plate that was being stained green with blood. A shot that got through a spinal plate would have gone through a rear plate and kept going.
"Alena? Please, don’t go!" Carsen said, crying harder than Fluttershy.
"It will be ok, just, just take care of my hive..." the downed queen said. I forced myself to scrounge up all the anger I had and put it in an emotional crystal, being only 5 ounces, it wouldn’t do much, but it was a start.
I placed the crystal onto the crack that was now almost completely green, her body absorbed the emotion quickly and the bleeding slowed down. 5 changelings with boxes ran past me and up to Alena. They had red spinal plates as well, so this was there queen....
They pulled out a large red crystal and cleaned the gash, which had now almost completely stopped bleeding.
"It’s barely bleeding? With this much blood and that short of time, that’s imposable!" one of them said.
"What if 5 ounces of anger were absorbed?" I asked.
One of them thought about it for a second before replying, "yep, something like that this early would do this, but who had the crystal?"
“I did, well, I made it." I replied.
He stared up at me, "you, you saved out queen." he was almost crying, as were the other worked as they administered the crystal.
I turned to Alena, "you can look after your own hive, you’ll be fine."
"I’m... I’m going to live?" she asked. I nodded.
"Just take it easy, and don’t move." I said to her. The other queens stood up from Alena.
Caralint was the first to speak, "Radar, as the queen with the largest hive in this room, I hear by pardon you of all crimes to the Changeling Empire for going above and beyond the duty to save a queens life, all those in favor of this action, signal so by saying yes."
"Yes." Carson said, quickly, tearing up.
"Yes" Zmbreca said, trying to sound strong, but faulting.
"Ye... yes" Alena struggles to say. The bleeding completely stopped.
"The motion carry’s, just don’t do it again." Caralint says. "Now on to other matters..."
We all look into the hallway to see that Chrysalis and her accompanying guards are nowhere to be found.
"Next time I see her, no matter how many guards she has, I’m biting her skull off." I say.
"Hehe, get in line," Zmbreca says from behind me.
................................................................................................................................................
The hunt for Chrysalis ended in failure. She almost seemed to have disappeared into thin air. I was now escorting the wounded but slowly healing Alena back to her hive.
"You saved her life, you know." I say to her.
"No I didn’t, I just saved her the pain..." she replied.
"Alena, how much did you pay attention in Biology?" I ask.
"Not too much, why?" she says.
"The rear plate of a changeling is 1/3 the thickness of the spinal plate, 1/4 when the changeling is pregnant," I say.
"So? What’s that got to do with this?"
"That shot went state through your spinal plate and into your body, if it did that to a spinal plate, then it wouldn’t have stopped, going through the body if it went in through the rear plate almost unopposed." I say.
"My gods, I really did save her life." she says.
"And the life of her unborn nymph." I add, "You did something I would have done, but couldn’t do, and for that, I admire you."
"Thank you Radar, but you also saved MY life." she adds.
“I guess I did," I say, “I guess I did..."

"I don’t see anything." Ralisea pouted. "Just a bunch of trees."
"Ya." Colicer added. "Why are we up here?"
"You need to look at it in the big picture." I say. "Only then will you see."
"So we have to fly up?" Ralisea asked.
"No, just look, don’t think." I add. We have been at this for 3 hours, and they couldn't see it.
"Ok... Oh wait! I think I see something!" Colicer yelled out.
"Okay, what do you see?" I ask.
"It looks like... lines? In the tree tops." Ralisea said.
"Yep, but take a look at what those dark patches hold within."
"Well" Ralisea started. "I see hydras in one area. Some Manticores in another... I think I see a flock of... what were those chicken like things again?"
"They are Cockatrices." I said. Keep going.
"There are some dragons, and that’s about it..."
"Yes, but look closer at them." I edged them on.
"The dragons look like they are in circles," Ralisea said. "Are they defending something?"
"That’s right, and yes, that’s their nesting ground. What you can't see is the lava flow underground heating the eggs." I told them. "Look at the Cockatrices now."
"They are flying low to the trees." Colicer said. "Looks like they are hunting."
"Yes, that’s true, but watch what happened when they reach the line in the tree tops." I said. And sure enough, when they reached the parting of the trees, they changed course.
"Why did they turn? Couldn’t they just keep flying?" Ralisea asked.
"They could have, but then they would have entered the territory of the hydras." I told them. "Those lines in the trees are where there territories meet. If they cross over the lines, then they run the risk of becoming prey items themselves. But as long as they all stay in the lines, they will live in peace."
"Then why do they seem so violent up close?" Colicer asked.
"Because you’re in their territory, and they may either see you as a threat, or a prey item. If you look around every hive in the world, you will see that they, too, have their own border." I said. "Even Equestria has them, you just can't see them because they cut all the trees inside of them down."
"Really?" they both asked in unison.
"Yes, really, no matter how advanced or civilized you think you are." I said as I looked out over the forest. "You still have your borders with everything else."
"Wow... that’s so cool." Colicer said.
"Makes me feel better about the world, seeing as everything is basically on the same level."
"Yes, now time has passed. I must get you two home before your parents get mad." I say.
"Aww... do we have to?" Ralisea asked.
"Yes, your parents would scold me, and you for getting home late." I say to them. I stand up, "Now, let’s make haste to your hives."
................................................................................................................................................
"So how has your day been going?" Caralint asked.
"So far, so good, how about you?" I reply. I was in her room. A large bed in the far end, some wool on the floor, and a good amount of bookshelves on the walls. The ceiling was a dome made of rock with bio-luminescent shards embedded in it to mimic the night sky. It wasn't as elaborate as Carcen's room, but it was better then some.
"I’m quite good, especially after that... meeting." She said, looking down at some crystals on a tray.
"I can understand that, I do plan on checking in on Alena sometime today." I said. "Her medics said that she would be fine, but I just want to make sure."
"Yes, I understand, and I would join you too, if I could spare the time." she said. "Duties of a queen have picked up with the drama with her." she added, putting a bit of venom on that last bit.
"Ah, yes, I understand, I'll make sure she knows." I say.
"Please do" she said. "I just wish I could go out looking for that no good whore of a queen!" She almost yelled.
"Well... that’s one way to put it. And I do feel the pain. But there are a few things she said at that meeting that scares me." I said.
"Like what?" Caralint asked, trying to calm herself down.
"When she was ta- er, yelling about hive size, she said her army was more than 15,000 strong." I said.
"Ya, so? She has one of the biggest armies in the changeling empire." She said.
"Well, when you look at how fast she is losing emotional jell, which is about 5 pounds a week, a single soldier would need 10 pounds a day. Now that’s already a lot of jell, but by protocol, the civilian to soldier ratio of a hive can't be more than 3:1. And that she has changelings in 25 cities. Now when you add it up, something is not right." I explain.
"You think that she has broken protocol?" she asks.
"With the way the math works, I don't think, I know." I said. "If anything, she wants to make a stronger army that may lead to putting them first, and civilians second."
"Wait, hold on," she stammers, "do you really think that she would do all of that? I mean I know that she has done wrong, but I'm no queen for punishing her for crimes she didn't commit."
"Well, since her little performance last night, all trade will be cut off. I want to know how much jell she was taking in by trade, think you can get that for me?" I ask.
"Sure, it will take a day or two but I can find it." She says, "Why?"
"Because if that trade income is more than 500 pounds a day," I say, "then we might have to start taking in refugees."
................................................................................................................................................
"Caralint sends her regards." I tell Alena, who is stretched out on her bed. Her room was floored with mossy stone and had chain mail on the walls, the ceiling has an assortment of chains holding up candles. She didn't like to use the bio-luminescent jell because "it gave off too much light."
"Tell her that I said thank you." the stricken queen replies. "I have already been getting messages from queens all over the world about this."
"Big news travels fast in the hives." I say. "Seems the same for every species."
"Yes, I know..." she says. “Hopefully this will widen the search."
"It will, and all trade has been cut off as well, so I hear." I tell her.
"That will only make her more dangerous." Alena says. "No telling how far she will go to feed her kingdom."
"Her highness has taken the measures needed and is adding support to the neighboring hives." I tell her, "She is even sending an extra 1,000 soldiers here if they are needed."
"1,000 soldiers?" She asks, "That’s quite the number, then again, Empress Icarus has the only army bigger than Chrysalis."
"That is true," I say, "I also hear that she wants to hold an emergency queen meeting sometime soon."
"Really? I do believe that the last queen meeting was only seven years ago." Alena says. "Then again, why wait another three years on something like this?"

"I wouldn't wait either," I say. "Best to act fast before a problem starts rather than to wait and see what happens."

"And that’s the attitude that got you to Master General Rank in Icarus's army." she said. "If only you could attend more meetings."
"I understand that. But a few things happened that put me in an emotional rut." I reply.
"Yes, that night goddess and her mishap with that spell. I've heard of it."
"I'm surprised that story still goes around." I say.
"Well it does." she says flatly. "Now, could you do me a favor?"
"What would this favor be?" I ask.
"I was hoping that you could check up on old Ralcula, she may need some help with a few things and all." Alena replies.
"Ah, okay, I can guess why," I say. "Shall I carry a message?"
"Just ask if she is well and how the hive is." she says.
"Okay, I’ll be on my way." I say before I walk out.
................................................................................................................................................
After a four hour walk I came to a halt at two massive gates in the side of a northern mountain. Pine trees stood strong as the mountains rock. I walked up to the stone gate, it was bland and had no shapes in it. I knocked on the gate and waited for a reply. But I saw a quick movement off to my upper right. Before I could look closer the gate slowly swung open.
I stepped inside quickly and was greeted by a platoon of 25 guards, all saluted me on site. I saluted back by swinging my arm onto my chest and they went at ease. One of them flew up to me. "Sir, the queen will be here soon, she went on a walk."
I looked at the solder, "she sure does like her walks, any idea when she will be back?"
"Within five minutes, sir." he replied. I let him stick to the formalities so he wouldn't make a mistake in front of Ralcula.
"Thank you" I simply reply to the soldier, who salutes and leaves. I take the moment of peace and look around, the hall looked like a museum than an operating hive. Banners made of spider silk hung from the main support beams, of which were carved in a smooth curve. The banners had a look of repair so I could tell they were not replicated. Cast iron cauldrons that hung in the air by chains that spread to the walls held enchanted fire that would not go out or emit smoke. The walls were decorated with spider silks painted to depict warriors of the past standing strong over their fallen enemies. The floor was made of hardened clay that had hot water under it to heat the floor. There were various potted plants including a large bonsai tree that was very well kept. Before I could look much further, the gates swung open again.
"Ah, my dear general, it’s such a pleasure to see you." Ralcula said, the 4 soldiers who were flanking her departed and the gates closed.
Her main was split and was well on its way of losing the green color to a white. Her horn was chipped and her skin wrinkled from her years. Her spinal plate was worn thin and flaking, and her prosthetic front left leg added an extra click to the floor. Her age showed but so did her knowledge. She was one of the last queens to have seen Luna before the incident and was even born during discords rule. In all, she was 1549 years old. The normal life expectancy of a queen is 1500, so she knew her time was short, but wished to enjoy it.
"It’s nice to see an old friend from time to time." I said. "How have you been?"
"Oh I’ve been well," she replied, “I heard that something happened over where you have set up a home, but the letter became blurry for my eyes, could you explain?"
"Chrysalis is at it again." I said, "But she's taken it a bit far"
"oh, she’s always been a troubled one," she said, "I, recall this one instance, when she was only three winters old, I was nursing dear Calcite, and she comes up, she wants some milk, and I tell her to wait. Well, she decides to bite her sister on the back of the neck. It took me and two guards to get her off of pore Calcite." she gave a light chuckle, "oh... but pray tell me what has she gotten herself into this time?"
"She almost killed another queen at a district meeting" I said flatly.
"Oh dear, I always knew something like this would happen..." she said, "Please, let’s continue in my chambers."
We walked the short distance to the doors and were inside. I heard the bang of the bolts closing, making a mental note. The inside was decorated just like the hall, but on the wall there was a silk portrait of her in her younger years with her family. Off to one of the walls, there was a large aquarium with native fish in it.
"So, is the pore queen alright?" she asks.
"She will live, but she did take a nasty hit to the spinal plate." I say, "Chrysalis got away though..."
"Well, she was very crafty at escapes, I don't see why she wouldn't be now." Ralcula says, "I would help in the search, but I’m afraid that the area she is in is just too far from here..."
"Its fine, I believe the hives there can handle it for now." I say.
"Yes, for now yes..." she says, she watches the fish tank closely, "but once she decides to put her mind to it..." she pores some fish food into the tank and looks up to me, "nothing will stop her from attacking."
................................................................................................................................................
I was back home thinking to myself, watching the lake go to sleep when Rainbow Dash flies over.
"Hey radar, think you can help with something?"
"Such as?" I ask.
"Well, there’s this new unicorn in town and she’s acting like a snob and like she’s the best at everything." she says, "think you can show off?"
I stand up and look her in the eye, “I don’t show off, I dominate."

We reached Ponyville to the sounds of screams and yelling. "The hell?"
“I don’t know what happened, but we need to act fast!" rainbow says before flying off.
I take three steps before a roar comes from the town, and my heart stops. "There is only one thing that has that kind or roar..." I say to myself. “Let’s pray to every god that the mother isn't here."
I move through the town, keeping my head below the housetops. My heart was racing as I got closer. I came to the library where twilight and the others were standing.
"Ok girls, I have a plan, but I need him in position." she said
I cleared my throat, “I believe this is where I come in."

I charged the Ursula minor at full speed from down the street. And right to Twilights plan, he bolted. I kept right up with him and would nip at his back feet to guide him. I almost had him there when a blue shield formed in front of me. I struck it head on and it shattered like nothing. I kept up with the minor when I heard a yelling from my side. I looked down to see a blue unicorn running beside me.
"Halt or the great and powerful Trixie will make you halt!" she yelled out. I didn't mind it so I just put my next footstep a little closer to her. She was startled and tripped up.
The minor was in the spot so I gunned it in front of him and turned his way. He skidded to a halt and started to back away. That’s when twilight came into play.
I turned to her when a blast of magic struck my face and signed it. I turned to see the blue unicorn again. She had her horn lit and was aiming at me. The next shot she fired I sidestepped, it ended up striking a house. I started to walk forward but kept to the side as twilight did her thing. I came up to the unicorn and she shot another spell at me, this time it bounced off my back armor and went skyward.
I was now towering over her, looking right down. She was staring up at me, and even at the distance, I could see her shaking like a tree in a storm. So I decided to give her a quick burst of sound waves.
Even since I didn't charge it, she fell backwards, got back up, and bolted for an alleyway, but I was faster. I blocked the path with my leg and snapped at her. I got a hold of her tale and flung her up in the air. As she fell she was screaming until I caught her in my mouth. I gave her a little shake when Twilight came up to me.
"Radar. Spit her out. Now"
I opened my mouth and let her fall to the ground. She slowly got up and looked around. "What just happened?"
"You just got dominated." I said with a toothy grin.
"Well, that may be so, but this is not the last you have seen or the great and powerful Trixie!" she said before a cloud of smoke appeared. And as it dissipated we could see her running off in the distance. Rainbow was about to chase her when Twilight stopped her.
"No, she’s not worth it rainbow."
As they walked away, I picked up a rock with my claw, through it in the air, and struck it with my tale. I could just make out the rock make contact with Trixie’s head. Satisfied, I walked back to where twilight was.
"So, Radar, how was your day?" Twilight asked me.
"It was okay, just doing what I do." I replied. "Just doing what I do..."
