When the changlings hive is attacked and they are captured, one drone must set things right. His name is legion.
Born a drone, captured and sold as a slave, he must reunite the hive and save the queen, or else there will be no hope left for any of them. There will be implications of sex, but no actual clop.
Number 35 looked down at the cocoon filled with eggs below him. " Something doesn't smell right." he said in a worried tone. He yelled " 41!" A figure larger than the drone appeared next to him. He said as he sighed " Yes 35, What is wrong?"
Number 35 replied "Something doesn't smell right. One of the eggs smells different."
41 replied," I am sure that one of the eggs just went bad." 35 replied " This doesn't smell like a bad egg. In all my years here, I have never smelled a egg like this."
"Look, if your worried, go talk to princess pupa, or 334." Just then, one of the center eggs started to hatch.
" This is not right. They aren't supposed to hatch for another week!" The egg finished hatching and the nymph sat up, with blank curiosity in it's eyes. 41 said " Nymph, what is your number?"
The nymph looked up at them for a second before replying " My name, is legion."
As they walked down the hall, the nymph asked " So why do you have numbers instead of names?"
41 sighed and said " Because it is hive law that only three groups may have names. Queens, Princesses, and members of the twisted swords are the only ones allowed to have names."
The group fell silent as they reached a set of black, heavy looking doors. 35 pushed them open and they walked inside into a small chamber. They heard a voice call out, " I did not send for you."
A tall black figure riddled with holes walked into the room and she said, " So why are you here?" 41 took a step forward and said " Queen chrysalis, a egg hatched early and he does not smell like any nymph we have ever seen. We were hoping that maybe you would know."
The Queen said " I am afraid that I do not know my little changelings."She sighed and said "For now, we will just act like he is just a drone that hatched early. His number will be-" She was suddenly interrupted by the nymph.
He said " With all due respect, I object to being called a number. I wish to be called legion."
The Queen said with annoyance " No, your number will be 978 and you will be a drone, nothing more, nothing less, doing what you have to do for the hive to survive. Do I make myself clear?"
Legion replied " Yes, my Queen," and gave a slow bow. Little did he know how far he would go to keep his promise.
(18 years later after the last chapter ) As legion walked down the hallway to the feeding center, he could feel a familiar presence on the ceiling above. He yelled " Mangle, I know your up there, so you can come down now."
As a small changling dropped down with a sheepish grin on her face, she said " 987, you know my number is 679." Legion replied " Well excuse me for giving you a name that is easier to remember than a number."
As they walked down to the feeding area Mangle started talking " I hope they have ponies today. They taste much better than the centaurs we had yesterday. "
Legion said with exasperation in his voice " Mangle you know that we only get ponies on special days, like when a queen or princess is born. Tell me, has a princess or Queen egg been lain yet?"
" No, but that can't stop me from hoping!"She yelled with a grin plastered onto her face.
He sighed and replied " Mangle , you can be such a pig at times."
Mangle then said " Well maybe you shouldn't be so serious. I mean seriously, you are harder on me than an overseer and they were born to be serious."
He then said " Then do you hang around with little old me?"
Mangle said " 987, your as big as a warrior. Don't sell yourself short. You know what princess pupa would say to that kind of thinking." They both said in unison " Negative thinking does not get as much love as a positive outlook." Then they reached the feeding area doors.
Mangle said " Well, let's go see what disaster we have today," and they stepped inside.
As the pair walked in to the chamber, three figures walked up to them. One of the figures ran up to them and yelled " Hi guys!"
Legion winced and said " Claptrap, you don't need to yell. We are standing right next to you." He said " Yeah, but you guys were talking and i wanted to make sure you could hear me."
Legion replied " Well, we can hear."
As they walked he asked,"Anybody know what we are having today?" They walked over to a table with a cocoon hanging over it. Dovakhin replied " No, we were waiting for you two. What was taking you guys so long?" He suddenly had a sly smirk on his face. " Were you two having 'fun'?"
Legion's face turned red and he started sputtering in an angry manner. Finally he calmed down enough to where he could say " No! I just had to help glimmer put the rest of the eggs in the nest!"
Dovakhin said" I only ask because you were late getting here, and you happen to be arriving with mangle, one of our more attractive friends."
Mangle rolled her eyes and said " I bet you have said that to every mare you have met dovakhin. You need new pickup lines."
Suddenly, they heard a muffled boom. Changlings allover the hive stopped talking and perked up their ears and listened. The other silent figure said, " I'm not the only one who heard that, right?"
Legion said " No wolf. I think we all heard that." Suddenly a loud cracking sound and a storm of earth ponies equipped with swords, spears, and golden armour rushed in.
As the changlings got over the inital shock, they charged to meet the enemy. As he ran to battle, he saw that his friends were charging with him. He saw a unicorn guard trying to free a pony from a cocoon. He rammed into him and started hitting him with his front hooves. Out of the corner of his eye, hew saw a Pegasus charging him with a spear. He turned but the tip of it caught his eyelid. He grunted in pain and used his hoove to unsuccessfully wipe the blood out of his eye. As he turned to face the snarling guard, he saw a warrior run into the Pegasus and bite his neck. After the body stopped moving, he turned to legion and snarled, " Leave drone. Your kind weren't meant for battle." He suddenly was hit in the back by a ray of white light. As he grunted in pain, he ran towards the source. Legion turned in the opposite direction and ran for his life.
As he flees down the corridors, he ran into a unicorn guard, gasping. He saw blood flying out of a giant hole in his armour and knew he had only a few minutes to live.
He's crouched down next to him and asked him" How does it feel to die?"
He then stood up, raised his hooves, and brought his hooves down on his neck.He whispered " For the hive," and continued to run.
As he ran toward the safety banker, he heard the queens voice through the hive mind.
" Attention changlings, Princess Pupa is in danger. All who can, head of the her chamber and keep the ponies from reaching her. For the hive."
He stopped, sighed, and started to gallop towards the princess chamber.
When he arrived,he saw that the main openings had been barricaded with slime and random pieces of wood. He saw mangle and claptrap and claptrap adding more slime to the doors. He also saw that dovakhin and wolf talking to a group of warriors. Claptrap saw him and flew up towards him.
He yelled " Hey legion, you here to help us, cause we need all the help we can get!"
Legion winced and said " Claptrap, what I said about the yelling in the face? And yes, I am here to help."
Dovakhin yelled " Claptrap, get back to work. Those ponies will be here any minute." Just then a loud boom was heard from behind the door. " Get ready!" It became so silent, you could hear a pin drop. Then when the barricade fell, all went to hell. As the ponies swarmed into the room, Legion charged with wolf and mangle by his side. Their first target was a gray earth pony with a spear in his hooves. As wolf went to the right to distract him, legion took the opportunity to ram his horn into his neck. As the pony collapsed, he had to duck and roll to the side to avoid a oncoming sword. Mangle then cast a bubble shield around them.
As they looked around, they saw that the changlings were losing. They joined the survivors as they circled around the bed with the princess who had been knocked out early in the battle. Legion yelled " No surrender!" The cry was carried out by the rest of them. They prepared to make a final stand when they heard the queens voice once more.
" Changlings, we must give up. They have won."
As he looked into the grinning faces of the ponies, he whispered " You win"
As the changlings were forced to march outside of the hive, Legion saw just how many ponies had really been attacking. After a few minutes they suddenly stopped marching, and froze as 5 ponies in shining gold armour advanced on them.
The lead pony yelled out, " You are all now property of equestria and your soon to be masters. Any attempt at resistance with be dealt with lethal force. You parasites should consider yourselves lucky that we weren't ordered to just simply kill you all. It is only because of Celestias mercy that you are still alive, for she is now the queen of Equestria."
" You will be sold and you will serve new, better pony masters. There will be no complaints and you will enjoy your new role in making Equestria a better, safer place," he finished with a smirk. " Before I forget," he motioned with his hoove at the rings on their horns, " Try anything and this will hurt. A lot. This is also so you can't talk to any of your bug friends on your little hive mind. Don't need you plotting any rebellions."
He then yelled " General Sunburst, continue marching to the nearest outpost. We have ordered to sell them to local ranchers and miners. I will meet you there. There is some businesses I must take care of first."
" Celestia," legion mused, as they were forced to continue marching,"I will not forget that name. "
After several days of marching, they reached cluster of buildings that he assumed was a ponies version of a hive. One of the soilders yelled " halt!" As the changlings stopped marching, he noticed that the ponies seemed to have cruel twinkles in their eyes. He wondered what was in store for them.
As they were led to a very large podium, one of the guard started yelling out, " New product! Come and buy some new changlings, ready for work on the farm, mine, or anywhere else you can think of!"
" How dare he sell us like we are filthy animals. We are changlings, not pigs."
When they reached a wooden platform, they were divided into groups of ten. He was roughly grabbed, and had a piece of paper,slapped,on with a crude number 11 on it.
He then had to go through the agonizing wait for his number to be called. He was still straining to see his friends in the throng of bodies when his group number was called.
As his group was forced onto the platform, he saw several ponies with his clutch brothers and sisters. He silently raged, while showing no emotion on the outside. Natasha would have been proud of him.
The pony started saying " Group ten, with some of the most fine specimen we have to offer. There strong, hardy, And I bet for anyone that needs to, feel very good on a cold winters night. We start the bidding at 1,000 bits." He heard several voices calling out, shouting multiple amounts of money. He heard yell 50,000 bits, and then everyling gasped, and there were no more voices.
" Going once, going twice, sold to the earth pony with a top hat." As the pony deposited his money, he led them down the stairs and led them down the road.
He said" I promise insects, you will come to love working for me. I know the perfect way to keep you fit," he said with a snide sneer.
After walking down the dirt road for some time, he started to notice plains full of ripe corn, pumpkins and cotton. He also saw other changlings picking the crops, looking starved and tired.
As they walked, the pony had under his cloak a stick with jagged metal pieces at the end. If a changling slowed down, or stopped moving, he would strike them with it and yell " Keep moving you worthless bugs," or insults of similar nature.
As they reached the house, a earth pony came out and rushed towards their master.
" Daddy," she screamed! Smothering him in a hug, after she released, he chuckled and said " Hello Lemon Drop. How are you and your mother today?" She replied " We are well. Mom said I had to ask you, but can I have my own changling?" " Maybe for your birthday, if you behave from now till then." " I will dad, I promise."
While this exchange was going on, legion was thinking this. 'She is way too hyperactive. Chrysalis help me if I get assigned to her.'
He pointed to the group with his hoof and said " In fact, I am going to let you choose from this batch of them tomorrow. But no peeking at them tonight. You will just have to wait till morning." She jumped up and down with excitement.
She asked " Can I look at them now dad? Can I, can I?" He replied " Yes you may," with a smile. She hopped over to them and started looking them up and down carefully, like they were cattle.
Each changling she reached would lower its head refusing to look her in the eyes. When she reached legion however, he looked her in the eyes. She froze for a second, with the ghost of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
After the second passed, she moved on to the next changling, with that ghost of a smile still on her lips. After she was done inspecting them, she said to her father " I think I know which one I am going to choose. Thank you father."
She then gave him a kiss on his cheek and ran back towards the house screaming " dads home!"
The only thought on legions mind was this. ' Fuck.'
After being assigned to a barrack and a day's worth of physical inspections, they were told that tonight they would stay in the small cramped building.
" Tomorrow," he started yelling " my daughter will choose one of you as her personal hoof servant. They rest of you insects will start work in the field, picking my crops. Now, get some rest. You'll need it."
As they entered the small building, he turned to one of his companions.
"The master is not here now. It's safe to talk here."
The small drone slowly turned his head to him and responded with this, " So, we are slaves now. To be honest, with the way things have been going, I kind of expected this. I mean, after Luna disappeared about 500 years, and with how the ponies are speciest, I am surprised that it took this long. I am just glad that we aren't being used as sex slaves. One of us will though. I feel that in my bones."
Legion responded "Ok, what makes you think that? We are at a farm, not a brothel, so I think the chances of one of us becoming a sex slave is pretty small."
The drone responded " Did you see the way that pony was looking at us? I could smell the lust all the way from the back row I bet. Anyway, you might want to look as weak as possible. With the way she started to smile after she looked at you, I think I know who she is going to to pick."
" She won't pick. I looked her in the eyes, so she will think I am too rebellious. No, I promise you she won't pick me."
One of the other changlings yelled out " Shut up you two, we are trying to sleep here!" Other changlings grumbled in agreement.
Legion whispered " I forgot to ask you, what is your number?" The drone said " 419."
Legion said" 419 huh, I am going to call you Beeetle."
Beetle said " Beetle? I like how that sounds. Yes, beetle will work just fine. Well goodnight legion." " Goodnight Beetle."
-------------------------------------- The Next Day the master shoved open the door and sunlight streamed in.
" Ok, worthless maggots, get up. Up and at them. We have farm work to do, and one of you lucky bugs gets to serve my daughter."
Legion inwardly groaned and stood up. He turned his neck and heard a faint series of pops and creaks. Beetle said" Good morning Legion, and just how are you doing on this fine day?"
"Well beetle, considering that we are slaves, and will be beat at one point, not to well. And you?"
...
"Forget I asked."
As they lined up and walked out of the building, he saw several changlings running around with what looked like party supplies.
' Must be that green and yellow ponies birthday. What was her name again? Lemon drops?'
While he was thinking to himself, they we're put in rows of 5 and told to wait outside of the main house.
When he saw his new master open them door, a wonderful smell graced his nose.
' What is that? Is that broccoli? And carrots? It smells delicious!'
He heard ponies talking and then suddenly a loud squeal seemed to radiate from the house. This was followed by Lemon drops practically flying out of the house and rushing towards them.
He heard chuckles as the parents of this creature walked out slowly.
" Alright lemon, choose one of them."
As she once again looked them up and down, she would look them in the eyes, and like last time, many of them refused to look at her, opting to keep their head down.
Once she reached him, just like last time, when he looked in the eyes, he saw a faint smile tugging at her lips.
Once she went through the whole group once, she walked back to in front of her parents, and pointed at legion.
He could already hear beetle saying I told you so.
As he walked down the hallway, he heard his new masters voice call for him.
" Come on Blue eyes, if your going to serve me, i need to show you the layout of the house. It will be fun i promise."
Legion grumbled under his breath and followed the annoying mare.
When he reached what he assumed to be the kitchen, Lemon Drop hopped up on a chair, set her forelegs on the table, and rang a small bell that was sitting on the counter.
A gray unicorn with a black mane walked in,with an apron with what looked like tomato sauce on it, and a small white hat on her head.
The unicorn turned her head towards her and said " Oh, good morning ms Lemon drops. You are 18 today right?"
Lemon drops smiled and said " Yep, and i'm showing blue eyes around the house since he serves me now. I going to ask the tailor to make him a uniform and then i am going to assign him a room."
She then gasped and said " Oh, where are my manners? Blue eyes, meet stone knife. Stone knife, blue eyes."
He narrowed his eyes and stared at her, before raising a hoof, Stone quickly raised her own hoof and shook it.
Lemon drop suddenly ran out of the room yelling something about the restroom.
As the two were left alone, Legion said " Its been a long time natasha," He said her name with a growl.
She winced and replied " Hello 978, how are-" He suddenly interrupted and said " Thats not my name. you know what it is. Say it."
She sighed and said" Fine, hello Legion, how are you?"
He replied with" I'm just fine traitor." She looked at him sadly and said" Legion, that was a long time ago."
" It does not matter how long ago it was, you still left us."
Just then, Lemon drops hopped back into the room and said " Ok, time to continue blue eyes. Lets go!"
As they walked out, he could feel Natasha staring at the back of his head.
As lemon drop walked down the hallway to the dining room, Legion sighed in relief. For the past three hours, she had been talking nonstop about the farm, her crush, the town, and the crops. By the time dinner came around, Legion was ready to tear his ears off.
As they walked in silence, lemon drop said out of the blue " I think you'll like my sister Ember. She is like you and doesn't talk much." Legion sarcastically replied "wonderful." Lemon drop slowly turned around, and asked " Did you just speak?" He slowly nodded his head, and almost had his ear drums torn apart by her yelling " Yay" she then got in his face and said " Next thing you know, we'll have you speaking in full sentences in no time."
As they walked into the room, Legion noticed a feast of vegetables and fruits. If he didn't feed on love, he would have eaten all of it by now. As he stood behind lemon drop, in the shadows of the candle light, he noticed a yellow unicorn with one of her eyes being covered by a red mane staring at him intently. Lemon drop was blathering on about how good a listener he was when ember asked " Have you gotten him to say anything yet?" Lemon drop replied " Just one word. ' Wonderful ' and he won't say anything else." After dinner was over, lemon drop was sent to her room, so of course, that meant that legion was made to follow suit. As he left, he could swear he saw ember looking at him and licking her lips out of the corner of his eye.
Lemon drop showed him to his room, and once he was inside, locked the door. As he climbed into a pile of hay that he assumed was supposed to be his bed, he closed his eyes, and let inky darkness overtake him.
When his eyes next opened, he saw a tall black mare sitting on a chair, behind a table that had a bowl of cookies on top of it. She seemed to take notice of him and put a chair in front of him. " Hello legion," She said. " I believe we have much to discuss." Suddenly, the bowl was lifted in front of his face. " Cookie?"
As he sat down, he spoke in a cautious tone. " So, who are you?" Nightmare replied in an annoyed one., " Really, you don't know who I am. I blame Celestia for that one. You can call me Nightmare moon, formerly known as Luna, ex-sister of Celestia.
Legion tensed up, and said " Your related to Celestia?!" Nightmare saw this and said " Trust me, I have a hard time believing it too. What kind of family member forgets her sister, and leaves her alone in her shadow for a 1000 years!" As she finished her little rant, she slammed her hoof down, breaking the table. She suddenly looked down and sighed. " Sorry, guess I let my anger get the better of me for a second." She waved her hoof, and a new, non broken one appeared.
"let's try this again. Hello, I am nightmare moon. I would like to talk to you." Legion calmly said " What would a god like being such as yourself want with me?" " Don't worry, I didn't choose you in particular. I just chose a inhabitant at random, and my spell just happen to choose you. As for why, I'm bored up here, so I was hoping to do three things with my entertainment."
The scenery changed to a rocky plain. " One, that someone would do something fun. There is nothing to do up here, and regrettably, not a stallion in sight. You think that Celestia would send a male up here to help with my heat, but NO, it seems I'm not good enough for stallions."
The background changed once more to a picture of a changling slave with Celestia standing over him. " Two, I do not share Tia's opionion when it comes to slavery. She seems to think that just because they are not ponies, and they look like insects, that it alright to enslave changlings, or let them be sold like objects. It is disgusting." The background focused on Celestia. " Three, I am willing to do anything to spite my sister right now."
As the scenery changed back to pure white, legion asked " So what do you want me to do?" Nightmare's eye twitched and said in a impatient tone " Do what you are named for. Change things."
As the walls around slowly began to turn to black, nightmare pulled up an image of a clock. " It looks like our time is coming to an end." She turned her head back to legion and said " Don't worry, you won't be doing this alone. I pulled some strings, and called in some favors. You will some allies in the next day or two arriving. Four to be exact, and if you don't start something, I will be very disappointed. Well anyway, tata!" With a wave of her hoof she was gone.
As legion woke up, he saw a black figure hovering right above him, it's hoof right in front of his face.As it gave an annoyed snort, and poked his muzzle, Legion bit the strangers hoof, and rolled off the bed.As the stranger made a pained grunt, light up his horn and saw it was another changling. Just as he was about to question it, the changling got in his face and angrily whispered" Are you trying to get me caught you bucking idiot?" Legion replied " Well, how would you react if you found a shadow in front of you when you had just woken up, and was poking you?"
The other changling thought about this for a second, and said with a shrug, " Ok, I see your point. By the way call me 712." Legion sighed and replied " Hello 712, call me Legion." 712 then adopted a look of confusion. " Why do you have a name? Your not a royal guard, and your definitely not a noble." Legion gave a shrug and replied " I don't know, why do you choose to have a number?" 712 said in a tired manner" As much as I would love to debate this topic, I have a message from 645." When legion looked confused, 712 facehoofed and said " Oh, that's right, you called him beetle. Well anyway, he wanted me to tell you something."
He looked around in a conspiring way and motioned for legion to get closer. 712 dropped to the floor, and said in a hushed whisper" It seems that the master bought a new drone from a whore house. While this by itself wouldn't be note worthy, it seems this one has been causing some trouble. She won't react to her number when called, she is aggressive to her customers, and tried to start a rebellion. She got the nickname iron jaws for biting a guards hoof, and not letting go, even thought they beat her several times. Eventually, she just tore the hoof off." Legion chuckled and replied " It sounds like it would like this drone. What is her number?" " 645 didn't find out, but it seems like she only responds to one name, and if the guards tried to call her anything else, she would just ignore them."
Legion replied" Now you have my interest. Who is this drone?" 712 said in a respectful voice" She calls herself Mangle."
As he woke up, wondering what to think about his meeting with nightmare and blinking sleep out of his eyes, he groaned and got up, his back resting against the backboard. As he was about to jump out of bed, he saw the door creaking. With out a sound, he slid back underneath the blanket.
Rose stepped and looked at lemon drops with a warm smile. She noticed Legion in the other bed, and trotted over to his side without a noise. She raised a hoof, and started to lightly trace small cracks in his Chittin. " You may be my sisters servant," she said as she started to move her hoof to a very private region, " but you'll be my plaything, little stallion." She then lightly kissed his forehead and walked over to her sister. " Lemon, time to wake up. We have pancakes." With that, lemon seemed to teleport into the hallway.
" I call dibs on the big one!"
Rose looked over at Legion, and whispered " Me too." She trotted over and put on a mask of indifference and shook him out of bed. " Get up, you lazy bug." He rolled out of bed, and gave a small snarl. " Oh my, getting angry are we? Better be careful, or father dearest may decide your too rough for sweet little Lemon." She then grinned and added " If I get hold of you, you might wake up in the middle of the night, tied to the bed."
Legion growled out " Thanks, but I have no interest in becoming your little plaything. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to stay by lemon, demon that she is." With that he left the room, thinking " It is way too early for all this. Brain, come back in about five minutes."
After he had left, she started to chuckle to herself. ' Good, I like a challenge.' ---------------------------------
As lemon sat at the table, legion once again stood in the background, wanting to be as far away as he could without getting trouble.
" So dad, I've heard that rose is getting a new hoof maiden."
With a chuckle, her father said " Yes, rose is getting a new servant. One that she won't molest mind you. It's disgraceful to have your child sleeping with changlings. I'm just glad you haven't picked up your sisters habits."
Rose walked into the room and asked with a wink at Legion " What habits would that be father dearest?"
He sighed and said " Your habits of sleeping with your servants. But, I found one that a temper and attitude to match yours. The kindly soldiers that dropped her off said her nickname was Mangle."
If someone were to look at Legion at that instant, they would see nothing but a cold grin. ' Good to see she's here already.'
" So, where will I pick her up?"
" She is in the library, we just need to calm her down some. The field hoof who went in there nearly lost a leg because she tried to snap his off. You can get her after breakfast."
Rose glanced at legion before saying " Good, I like a challenge."
-----------------------------
As lemon followed Rose to the library, Legion was excited at the chance to see one of his oldest friends again. He felt a familiar warm bubbly feeling in his chest and thought ' No, she is just a friend, your just glad to see her again because you were separated.'
When they reached the door, rose turned to lemon and said " Now whatever you hear, don't try to throw yourself in the middle of whatever happens. Ok?"
Lemon nodded her head, and Rose opened the door. Almost immediately, they heard the rattling of chains struggling against the floor. " I swear, if you don't let me out, I will tear your heart, and feast on your soul!"
Rose turned to her sister and said " This will be fun." With that, she opened the oak library door. There was a creaking sound as Rose walked in and said cheerily " Hello! My name is Rose, and I will be your new mistress. If you have any questions, you should not ask them because I don't care. Now, I'm going to unchain you, and you are going to follow me." Producing a key, she undid the chains.
Mangle gave her a glance, and jumped out at her, but was met with a charge of electricity. Crumpling to the floor, she spat out a tooth and growled " What was that!?"
Rose giggled and and raised her hoof. On it was a small ring that shone lightning blue, and had sparks jumping off. " Oh, this? This is something I put together in my spare time. It was originally made to restart the spark box, but I decided to repurpose it for self defense. Now, don't do that again, or I will hit you harder."
Mangle gave a hiss, but did not make a move to attack. Rose gave a small little smile and slowly licked her lips." Good little bug. If you behave, I may a treat for you tonight when you go to bed." She then turned around and said " Follow me, and I'll let you make friends." As she walked out, she gave a slight sway of her hips. She turned her head, and said " Come on, don't just stare at my flank. Follow me."
Mangle gave a snort and said as she stepped out of the library, looking around the hallway, " Why would I look at your flank? I mean, we aren't even the same species, so I'm not attracted to you sexually."
Rose smiled and said " I bet I can change that."
Looking around lazily, she replied in a sarcastic tone," Yeah, I bet you..." As her gaze fell on legion, she stared with a open jaw and wide eyes. She whispered almost inaudibly " Legion?" Legion then gave her a huge smirk, and nodded his head. His back quickly met the floor as he was tackled backwards. He could swear he felt a few bones pop as she hugged him.
" I thought I would never see you again!" She then looked him over, and said " Wait, why are you here?" She turned and stared at Lemon Drops, and with a look of realization said " So, the little brat forcing you to serve her huh? Don't worry, you and me can break out, and we'll find the others."
Whispering in her ear, Legion said " One, my ribs can't take your attack, so please let go." With a gasp, and a sheepish grin, she let go and let Legion take a breath. " Thanks. Two, don't worry, I have a plan, but we need to wait for the other parts to come together. Be patient. We'll be free soon."
With a look, Mangle said in a shaky voice " Ok. If something goes wrong, I'm blaming you though."
Rose called out " Come here Mangle, I have to show you the rest of the house." As they walked off, Lemon Drop said with a smirk " Wow, you two seem friendly. Mind telling me why?"
" No comment."
Lemon adopted a pouty face and said " Oh, you're no fun. You need to loosen up. What would make you not so, well, you?" As she sat and thought, her face lit up as a thought appeared. " Oh, I know! I can let you talk to stone Knife again! She seemed really happy after she met you yesterday. I bet it will cheer both of you up." She then grabbed his hoof, and started to drag him to the kitchen.
He thought to himself ' This is going to be a long day, isn't it?" -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Rose watched Mangle hug Legion as he was apparently called, she felt a small twinge of anger. ' No, this isn't how it was supposed to go. He is supposed to be mine. Now I will have to change all of my plans. AAAAAHHHHH!' After a few more minutes, she thought ' Ok, I am separating those two now!' She called out for mangle, and watched with satisfaction as Mangle let go of Legion. 'Legion.' she thought as she swirled the word in her mouth. ' Sounds much better than Blue eyes. I will have to file this away for later on.'
As mangle walked beside her, she asked Rose scathingly , " So, what now, Mistress? Going to show me around the house?"
Rose said " Yes, but for now, stay right here. I have something I need to do first." As she walked away, she thought, ' Yes, I need to figure out how to keep you away from Legion. I swear to Celestia, he will be mine.'
As she woke up, queen chrysalis realized that she were still trapped in that infernal box. ' I swear, when I get out, I am going to kill every pony I see, then I will convert whoever is left. Yes, that's a good plan.' As she stood up, she took a second to feel around, and noticed that the ring was still on her horn. With an annoyed growl, she tried to stand up, but hit her head on the top of the box.
She started to curse, and yelled " Who the buck is out there! I swear, if someone is out there and you don't let me out, I will rip out your heart!" She heard a guard yell " Quiet in there! You don't get to speak till we get to the castle." With some grumbling, she laid back down and closed her eyes, falling back asleep.
A few hours later, she was awoken to the sounds of someone singing. She tried to move her foreleg but found it was chained to the bed. As she lashed out, and tried to break the chains, she heard a soft voice saying " I wouldn't do that." Just then, a pony stepped into view,, but it wasn't just anypony, no. It had to be Celestia, Princess of Celestia.
"Oh, it had to be you. Hello Princess Celestia, oops, I mean Queen Celestia."
With an angry huff, Celestia said in an cheery voice " Now chrysalis, I understand that you may be cranky, but isn't this better than sleeping in a dirty, dank cave. Doesn't that sound better?"
" Not really. I mean, I'm chained to a bed and I was taken from my children. Plus, I don't like the shape of the bed, seeing how most couples use a bed like this. Not liking the implications here."
Celestia gave a humorless laugh, and said " I don't think you really have a choice, you know, with the chains everything. Plus, I have ways of making you want to serve. It worked with all the others, so why shouldn't it work with you?"
" Because I don't plan on being broken."
" None of the others planned on it too, yet it happened. Any, it's almost time for me to lower the sun. I feel like snuggling."
Celestia jumped on the bed, and snuggled up next to chrysalis, nipping her neck. Chrysalis tried to move, but the damn chains kept her from moving. " Oh, that's cute, you think you can stop me. Just relax, I don't plan on that yet."
Chrysalis sighed, and just try to inch away from the pony. She then failed as the pony hugged her like a giant pillow.
" Let me go, or I swear to the first queen, I will rip you apart."
" Mmhh, no. I think I will stay right here." She then hugged the changeling even tighter, and put her head on her neck. Chrysalis grumbled about damn ponies, but stop struggling. ' If i'm going to be trapped here, I might as well gather some love energy for the hive when we are free.'
As she drifted off to sleep, she heard a strange laugh, and a voice saying " Oh little chrysalis, I have so many plans for you."
