Chapter One: Prelude to Meanness

View Online

Chitin hooves clicked against crystal floors as Chrysalis, once Queen of the changeling hordes, skulked about the great halls of the Crystal Empire’s royal castle. Her jade eyes drifted listlessly in the moon and starlit hallway as she trudged forward and considered her surroundings for what was possibly the hundredth time or more. The base design of the castle itself might be considered attractive enough, if a creature could get over how bright and sickeningly shiny it got in the daytime. At the very least, the bare crystal itself had a somewhat pleasing stark and empty quality to it with a grandeur that admittedly made her somewhat envious of the material over the simple stone of her hive.

However, the ponies had decided to mar such simplistic beauty with overly ornate doors and pillars stationed perfectly spaced from each other giving the whole thing a far too orderly and unnatural symmetrical look. Furthermore, they insisted on hanging drapes and banners everywhere as if they’d somehow lapse into despondency if they forgot for one second that ‘mauve’ was a color.

Ponies… What a weak and pathetic species… A species so soft they have to even surround themselves with the REMINDERS of creature comforts when they walk from one place to the other. Chrysalis soon reached one of the many doors, Of course It’s mauve! and pushed it open.

She found herself in a rather spacious bathroom with more pony comforts the species simply couldn’t seem to live without; like a sink, a bath large enough for several ponies to sit in at once, a ugh… toilet… The items for cleanliness were somewhat reasonable for creatures who had the misfortune to be born covered in tiny hairs that held onto every little bit of filth the ponies encountered, not to mention skin that secreted various fluids and smells that those hairs held onto to heighten their sickening stench. Though the toilet was a reminder that ponies had to subsist completely on organic substances disgustingly pushed through their organs instead of absorbing magical energy directly from emotions like an evolved species that only ate and imbibed for recreational purposes. Such as eating one’s enemies alive, for instance.

Being around them and often having to adapt their horrible physical qualities was tantamount to torture. Though, often necessary. Chrysalis had once again successfully infiltrated the home of some of the ponies she hated the most. In fact, she had been so successful, that she no longer even had to hide who and what she was. Sure there had been some setbacks… Like about a solid week of hiding under the bed of one of the ponies she had hated the most, but she crawled her way out of that situation… somewhat literally. Though the months had been grueling to get to this point, any day now she would spring her trap and bring this empire to ruins, get revenge on the rest of pony kind, find her lost children and declare herself Queen once more, purge any dissenters, and restore balance to the world as and her own personal contentment that went with it.

Yes… Any day now…

Chrysalis slinked closer to the sink.

Any day…

She looked in the mirror and caught sight of herself, and her sunken, tired eyes.

Any… Sniff…” Day… “Sob…”

Tears began to stream down Chrysalis’s face and she collapsed onto the sink, her face buried in her arms. Letting out a constant stream of sad wails as her chest heaved, she leaned on the crystal fixture and let her emotions pour out of her.

“Chrysalis… What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” a tired yet concerned female voice asked.

Chrysalis recoiled as she heard a yawn from behind her. She looked up and glanced in the mirror. There was now a baby-blue glow that lit up the room from Princess Cadance, who had clearly wandered out of bed and tracked Chrysalis down to the bathroom.

“What?! Crying?! Preposterous!” Chrysalis exclaimed as she tried to wipe away the years only to remember that was rather ineffective in her true form as her carapace just spread the moisture around her face. “There’s aren’t tears! It’s from…” Chrysalis thought for a moment. “I can’t get this blasted pony contraption to work! It must be broken!” She exclaimed as she reared up and smashed her chitin encased forehooves into the sink spigot. “Se-wharrgarbl!”

Chrysalis was instantly caught off guard as a high-pressure stream of water blasted her in the face as if the sink was desperately fighting back.

With a bemused expression on her face, the magic glow from Cadence’s horn flickered. There was the quiet ‘squeak’ of a metal knob turning followed by the water pressure abating.

Chrysalis said nothing as she walked away from the sink, soaking wet. Her wings buzzed rapidly a couple times, firing off water in all directions as she menacingly stalked towards Cadance, glaring at her the entire time. Her voice began to reverberate with dark promises as she approached. “Pony filth, if you breathe one word of this to another living soul, I swear I will carve out your still beating heart while you scream and beg for—”

“Cantaloupe,” Cadance uttered, her expression most definitely unamused.

Chrysalis felt something like a tug on her brain as she ceased talking immediately and jerked her head slightly. “… Cantaloupe?” she repeated with a sneer.

Cadance simply nodded. “Cantaloupe,” she repeated simply.

Chrysalis closed her eyes tightly and sighed out some of her frustration, her anger turning to more of a quiet simmer.

Cadance tilted her head slowly and regarded Chrysalis as the changeling seemed to put something of a lid on her emotions. “Care to explain what just happened—” Cadance motioned to the damaged crystal sink “—with that?”

Chrysalis opened her eyes. “… No…” she said simply.

There was another yawn, a deeper this time, and Chrysalis found herself grimacing as a lilac glow grew brighter to the sound of hooves clopping against the crystal floors.

“Wha… what happened?” Shining Armor asked as he walked into the bathroom and blearily took in his surroundings. He pulled up a forehoof and looked at it quizzically. “And why is the floor all wet?” He pulled a face as he looked between Cadance and Chrysalis. “Were you two doing water sports—” He put on a pout “—without me?”

“No, Shiny,” Cadance answered with a smile. “Nothing like that.”

“Awwww…” Shining replied in disappointment.

“I know, right?” Cadance said. “Yum.”

Chrysalis watched the couple as it seemed her lips and eyes fought to escape the confines of her face.

Cadance continued, “Chrysi here thought it’d be easier to pretend she forgot how sinks work than to admit she was crying!”

“Don’t call me Chrysi!” Hissed the former changeling Queen. “That names makes me sound like some, some… some confused, rebellious adolescent with father issues!”

Shining frowned, “Oh… Wait… are you sure she’s just not trying to start an impromptu scene of ‘Help! Help! I need a strong, strapping plumber to plug up this unexpected leak!’?”

Chrysalis grit her teeth. “Shining, I just want you to know that I just discovered what it feels like when an entire section of one’s brain just ups and fries itself in their skull rather than accept what’s going on as reality. It was QUITE painful and it’s a sad day for you two if you ever wanted to ask me about my true origin because that info is now gone forever.”

Cadance just laughed. “No Shiny, that’s not…” She trailed off and frowned slightly. “No, wait…” she turned to Chrysalis. “Are we playing emergency plumber?”

“Aaaaaand there goes another section, thanks! I just forgot how money works. All thanks to you two!”

Cadance continued, “I mean, I’ll absolutely play your ‘in over her head’ roommate or sister, here.”

Shining grinned amorously. “And I’ll be the plumber who just happens to have the right tool for the job!”

Chrysalis let out a heavy sigh. “And now I’ve forgotten what a toaster is, super.”

Somehow, this didn’t stop Shining Armor who deepened his voice and stepped forward. “Ladies, did someone call for a plumber?”

“Stove? Gone!” Chrysalis hissed.

Cadane trotted up to Shining. “Oh, thank goodness you’re here!” she announced before flinging herself backward into Shining’s forehoof and lifting a foreleg to her forehead dramatically. “My poor clumsy roommate has broken the sink and now water is everywhere and on top of that we’re both sopping wet and just a mess of nervous, pent-up energy that we don’t know how to release!”

“Aww, and I found the blender quite useful…” Chrysalis lamented as a brief memory of her snarling as she ripped pink hair bows out of her cascading locks of jade flashed through her head and she shoved them in a device and then did… something that destroyed the offending items.

Shining just smiled wide. “Good thing I have the tools and a long length of pipe I can lay down to fix both things!” He said as he waggled his eyebrows at Cadance who smiled back as she reached down to run a foreleg along the length of Shining's already fully erect, dark gray cock.

Chrysalis’s eyes twitched. “Cantaloupe,” she said simply.

“What? Boo!” Cadance protested as her face tightened. “It was just getting good!”

“Aww, man…” Shining uttered.

“I’m in no mood!” Chrysalis snapped. “If you two need this room, go ahead. I could use the alone time!”

The married couple exchanged glances and began talking in hushed whispers. Chrysalis just sighed. This meant this incredibly awkward and brain-destroying conversation would continue after the two made a pact to take care of each other’s overactive desires to mate later.

Shining put down his wife and began to awkwardly trot over, his back legs tacking wide sideways strides forward like a pony out of an old frontier expansion play, “Well if you aren’t trying to role-play in the middle of the night, why would you even need to cry?”

Chrysalis groaned and smacked a forehoof against her forehead. “By the ancient primordial oozes of evil, you’re so unfathomably stupid when you’re this tired and all the blood has rushed to your smaller head. I didn’t even think that was possible, yet here we are!”

Biting at her lower lip as she tore her vision away from between her husband’s legs, Cadance approached and put a foreleg on top of her husband’s shoulder. “Well, Shiny, why does anyone cry outside a role-playing or private bedroom situation?”

Shining thought for a moment. “Emotional distress!”

Chrysalis shook her head. “It’s not something as sad and pathetic as that, alright?! I just had something in my eye… no doubt some random fluids from our bedroom escapades, probably some errant bit of dried semen or vaginal fluid from Cadance.” Chrysalis thought for a moment. “Which is plenty sad and pathetic in its own right…” she admitted.

Cadence took a few steps closer. “Chrysalis, Shining and I are here for you. You can talk to us about anything!”

Chrysalis narrowed her eyes. “You know for a fact that’s not true…”

Cadence face took on a slightly more serious look. “Okay, right… but you know… even we have limits.”

Chrysalis couldn’t help but snort as she put on smile that seemed steeped in irony. “Oh, I see. YOU two are the ones with limits.”

Cadence sighed. “Is that the reason you’re so upset?”

“Specifically, right now? No…” Chrysalis admitted.

Cadence smiled. “So something IS bugging—”

Chrysalis hissed angrily.

“—bothering you,” Cadence corrected.

Chrysalis grimaced slightly. She found it exceedingly difficult to determine when Cadence and Shining found it in themselves to shift from being completely oblivious morons and star being complete morons who were maybe acting that stupid to lure her into underestimating them and letting something slip out... If there was a lesson she should have learned by now, it would have been to never underestimate a pony. However, the creatures could seem so disarmingly stupid she often found herself caught off guard, and no two ponies she met were so stupid, disarmingly or otherwise, as the pair she found herself with now.

That being said, the image of Starlight Glimmer hammering at her throne with a rock and a frantic look on her face would always keep her warm at night.

“Awww…” Shining Armor uttered as he gave Chrysalis a sympathetic look. “Is someone feeling a little down?”

“No! I’m NOT feeling a ‘little down’!” Chrysalis exclaimed. “And stop using the ‘special voice’ with me! I HATE the special voice.”

Cadence gave Chrysalis a small smile. “If you don’t want to talk to us, you can always try talking to a different pony. We can have Sunburst listen to you again.”

Chrysalis smirked. “As amusing and cathartic as it was to watch that pony squirm and try to tunnel away from me through solid crystal again, no.” Her smile dropped. “I don’t think that’ll be enough.”

Shining tilted her head. “Well you should tell somepony. It’s not healthy just to keep all this stuff bottled inside.”

Chrysalis shot Shining a glare full of murderous intent. “Do NOT presume to tell me what is healthy and unhealthy for me, food! You only know what I allow you to know. You’re fooling yourself to think otherwise!”

Shining sucked in his lips into a frown and leaned backward from Chrysalis as Cadence gave her a disapproving look. “Chrysalis, Shiny is just trying to help. You don’t need to bite his head off!”

“Believe me, I would if I could!”

“Uh… Cantaloupe?” Shining uttered in a moderately distressed tone.

Chrysalis twitched slightly again. “Ugh…” she shook her head as the dangerous look in her eyes softened a bit. “I don’t expect you two to understand! I don’t expect anypony to be able to have the barest comprehension of what I’m experiencing!” Chrysalis shook her head. “So it’s pretty unfathomable that either of you would have a solution for me!”

Shining raised a forehoof.

“No, being peed on will not solve my problems!” Chrysalis snapped.

Shining sighed and lowered his forehoof.

Chrysalis growled. “When has getting peed on solved anyone’s problems in the history of ever?!”

“Well… I mean… jellyfish stings…” Shining mumbled.

Chrysalis groaned. “What is wrong with you two?”

Cadance smiled. “Perhaps you could give us a brief rundown of what’s upsetting you? I understand we’re not perfectly suited to help you, but we can’t do anything if you don’t tell us anything.”

Chrysalis’s brow tightened. “I was the undisputed ruler of a horde that betrayed me! ME, their CREATOR! Their BROOD mother! And the moment they so much as thought they could move on without me, every single one took the opportunity to reject me! Their LIFE giver!” A malevolent smile spread across Chrysalis’s lips. “I had it… I had it all. My vengeance… You two, and a great deal of your entire species cocooned as nothing more than food to feed me and my children for as long as your love and bodies would hold out!” Chrysalis quickly studied the faces of the two ponies in front of her. Somehow, instead of shock and fear, there was quiet contemplative thinking. Instead of revulsion, there was sympathy. Instead of hatred, there was kindness.

And it was worse… it was so much worse.

Chrysalis clenched down on her teeth. “And now I have nothing. No minions, no domain of my own… nothing…”

Shining and Cadance exchanged glances then turned back to Chrysalis.

Cadance began, “Look… you know we can’t just give you… minions… but well… if you—”

‘Prove’ I’m worthy of the responsibility to have some pointless courtly rank as I can have some ‘subjects’ that I ‘rule’ over just so long as I don’t hurt their poor fragile feelings?!” Chrysalis interjected in the most condescending tone she could manage. Which, in this case, would have been enough to collapse the castle if ‘patronizing’ was something that had real weight to it.

Cadance sighed, “I’m sorry, but ponies aren’t like changelings.”

“Why Cadance, are you sure you’re not the Princess of Stating the Obvious?”

Cadance frowned heavily at that one. It was a small victory for the former Changeling Queen, but she took those where she got them.

“Okay, but it’s not like you have literally nothing!” Shining exclaimed. “I mean, you have your own room and just about whatever you can ask for in the Empire.”

Chrysalis winced at Shining’s pathetically stupid response. If she thought he had enough brain cells to rub together, she might humor this was his way of coming to his wife’s aid.

But of course, he was a complete idiot, so that couldn’t be it.

“I had a horde, you blathering idiot!” Chrysalis snapped. She shook her head. “By the empty primordials, are you two dense. Do you both really think with some basic amenities and your love, such that it were, you can make it so I’m content in your glorified gilded cage?! Do you really think that’s enough for anypony?!” She narrowed her eyes. “I can’t wait until that horri—” Chrysalis hacked out a coughed then huffed out a frustrated sigh briefly “—that infant of yours grows to resent you both!”

Oddly enough, Chrysalis found this elected a smirk from both ponies. Cadence even had the audacity to laugh to herself. “Honestly, I’d say we’re both dreading when Flurry Heart becomes a teenager, but this is, in all likelihood, wonderful practice.”

Shining likewise gave Chrysalis a warm smile that sent an electric shock of anger through her own body. “Look, there’s got to be something we can do to make you feel better.”

Chrysalis grunted in displeasure. “I need something to fill the giant chasm of a hole left in my life left by your friends and family, and I doubt either of you are capable!” Chrysalis flashed the pair another malevolent smile. “Unless you’re willing to present me with the heads of your sister and her—”

Cadance’s forehead tightened. “Canta—”

Chrysalis clamped her mouth shut and glowered silently at Cadance.

Cadence likewise opted to leave the word unfinished.

Shining Armor raised a forehoof.

“No, Shining! No, it’s not a literal hole!”

Shining nodded. “I get that, but maybe I have something that can fill that figurative hole!”

“By the boiling pits! You both have already filled all my literal holes with basically anything that would fit! This is not something you can just fix with your genitals!”

Shining smile. “No not that, this!”

Chrysalis let out some groan. “Some new device that somehow plugs all my holes at o—”

Shining leaned forward and wrapped his forelegs around Chrysalis. “Of course not! It’s a hug!”

“Awwwwwwww!” Cadance uttered as she leaned forward and likewise wrapped her forelegs around Chrysalis.

“No! This is worse! This is much, much worse!” Chrysalis snarled. “I would have much preferred it if you tried to solve this problem by cramming your throbbing horse cock into my clam.”

“Oh, come on!” Shining exclaimed as he nuzzled his face against Chrysalis’s cheek. “This has got to make you feel better!”

“No,” Chrysalis replied, “it doesn’t. In fact, I now feel even worse than I did just a bit ago, and let me tell you that the last few minutes of my life have been something of a death spiral in regards to how well everything is going for me.” Chrysalis’s slit pupils widened a bit. “Which is saying a lot, unfortunately.”

Cadance gave Chrysalis a cheerful smile as she nuzzled the large changeling on the other cheek. “Even you have to admit it’s comforting to be hugged.”

“No, I don’t, and no it doesn’t!” Chrysalis snapped. “See, the fact that you two think your trivial mammalian habits do anything but disgust me is one of the many reasons that my entire time here has been a complete and utter misery!”

Cadance and Shining broke the hug and gave each other looks of deep concern. “You’ve never been happy here?!” they echoed in shock.

Chrysalis pursed her lips slightly. “You know, if I was a pony I’d probably try to sugar coat this until it was mostly just a pile of sugar, but I’m not, so I’m just going to come out and say it. No. I’ve never, ever once experienced true happiness while living here at the castle. I hate your species, and I hate you two the most…” Chrysalis thought for a moment. “After Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer, that is.”

Shining Armor and Cadance exchanged sad glances.

“Really? Never happy?” Shining asked in disbelief.

“So rude of you to ignore the part where I mentioned I despise you both.”

“There has to be some occurrence of you being happy here,” Cadance insisted.

“There absolutely is not, so can we just—”

Shining thought for a moment. “Sick patient in need of TLC and a nice big shot of vitamin M?”

Chrysalis scoffed. “I believe you mean vitamin ‘D’ for ‘dolt.’”

Shining grinned. “Nope, I meant ’M' for ‘Massive!’”

Chrysalis’s entire head spasmed for a moment and she sighed. “There goes my ability to play a pan flute.”

“Ooooh… Naughty kitty in heat!” Cadence suggested.

“Wow… Having to relearn how to use a spoon without holding it over my tilted head and wide opened maw is going to be embarrassing.”

Shining gasped and pointed at Chrysalis with an ‘I GOT IT!’ expression on his face. “Surprise mystery box that I’m carrying between my hind legs!” Shining leaned forward and whispered, “The mystery is that it’s my dick… My dick is the gift!he said as if this was somehow unknown to the parties present which elicited a giggle from Cadance.

“I can no longer recall the difference between a salad fork and a regular fork… Which… not all that important when I think about it.”

Cadence smirked and flashed Chrysalis an alluring look. “What about the time you were sandwiched between Shiny and me?” Cadence moved her mouth up to Chrysalis’ ear and whispered, “He had his cock up your butt, you had a toy in your bug-vag while I worked you from the front with a strapon.”

Chrysalis narrowed her eyes. “Me deep throating plastic was so stupid that the very act made me forget the how multiplication works; which is a thing I re-taught myself, but now need to remember again because of this conversation.”

Shining Armor spoke up, “Well, how about when you were sucking on my REAL cock and Cadence was behind you with the strap-on and a few toys?”

“BETTER! But hardly pure bliss.”

Cadence: “…What about when Shining was in front, I was in back, but with a MAGIC dick inside your bug-vag?”

Chrysalis thought for a moment. “And I had a buttplug in me... My butt that is… of course, there were a ton of things in my other holes.”

Cadence nodded.

Chrysalis’s ponderous expression continued. “I think enjoyed it more when you were fucking my ass, to be honest, Princess.”

Shining’s face lit up. “How about when I was fucking your ass and you were sucking down Cadence’s magic summoned futa cock?”

Chrysalis pursed her lips. “You know what? That might have been the happiest I’ve been since I lost my hive… Okay, fine…” Chrysalis said, doing her best to sound bored. “Let’s try that.”

“Haw! Nice!” Shining said as the trio begin to file out of the bathroom.

“Hey! Wait a minute!” Cadance shouted. “What’s wrong with my cock?!”

“Nothing!” Chrysalis’s said. “Just that Shining's real penis is still somehow objectively better in every conceivable way.”

“YES! Score!” Shining cried.

“Awww…” Cadence uttered in disappointment.

Chrysalis walked back into the large bedchambers she found herself sharing more nights than not with the royal couple. In the morning, it would be quickly spruced up and hosed down to appear like a rather pedestrian, if ornately furnished bedchamber, but because of the activities that had already transpired in the room tonight, all manner of objects that penetrated, swatted, and vibrated were strewn about. Furthermore, an assortment of lotions and dried piles of wax with the odd drip here and there as if there had been some sort of horrible candle mishap littered the room. Speaking of which, small beads of light quickly replaced the soft glow from the two unicorns as the pair giddily flitted about lighting the odd wick here and there covering the room in a soft orange flickering glow.

Chrysalis merely stepped gingerly through the items of debauchery and made her way to the very large bed with its massive crystal headboard and smaller footboard, both with an etching of two wavy lines that formed a vague heart shape around a large six-pointed star flanked by three smaller five-pointed stars.

Chrysalis hated the bedroom.

“Cadance, I think that’s enough candles,” Shining said.

Cadance turned and frowned, a tiny flame flickering from her horn sputtered out as she looked away from half a dozen already lit candles. “But they’re so romantic!”

Almost as much as she hated the two ponies that it belonged to.

Shining chuckled to himself and looked around the bedroom which was already a messy monument to debauchery. “I’m sure we’ve already set the mood… and no wax!”

Cadance put on a pout. “But Chrysalis doesn’t mind!” She looked at Chrysalis. “Do you? I mean, it’s easy for you to get the wax off.”

Chrysalis merely rolled her eyes in lieu of an actual response.

“Okay, but you know how you get when she’s taking your entire length,” Shining said.

Chrysalis shot Cadence a seductive look and flicked out a tongue that made a rotation over her entire chin and muzzle. True, she hated these two, but she had to admit she enjoyed teasing them. Besides, it helped set the mood for herself… and really, that was the only thing important here.

Shining continued. “Remember when you rested the candle on her back? It fell off and almost set the bed on fire.”

Cadance’s pout became re pronounced as she stuck out her lower lip further. “It was just one time!”

“Don’t I get a say?” Chrysalis hissed out. “You two are doing this for my benefit after all.”

Shining nodded towards Chrysalis. “She’s right. We are doing this for her.”

Cadance looked over at Chrysalis with a somewhat imploring look.

“No wax,” Chrysalis said simply.

“Boo!” Cadance protested.

Chrysalis tightened her forehead. “The wax is something you enjoy, not me. No wax!” she repeated.

“So, how do you want to get started?” Shining asked as he trotted towards Chrysalis’s posterior. “Routine check-up takes a turn for the sexy? Trip to the proctologist? Curious Entomologist?”

Being with these two depraved ponies is the ABSOLUTE worst…

Chrysalis groaned and took a small leap, flapping her wings as and landing in the middle of the bed. “Just get on with it!” she hollered as she made sure her wings were flush with her body and bent her knees, lowering herself so that Shining could get his front legs up and around her back.

Just the ABSOLUTE worst!

The bed dipped as Shining leapt onto the edge and made his way to Chrysalis. With a grunt he reared up and rested his stomach on Chrysalis’s back. Chrysalis bore it easily. Though Shining might be of considerable heft for a pony, she was still somewhat larger and simply a superior biological specimen. His front legs dangled to either side of her as she felt the pony’s hot breath on her back. She felt something fleshy, if hard probe the outsides of her waste-chute.

And I hate every loathsome minute of it!

“Chrysalis, I’m going in,” Shining said.

Chrysalis only grunted an affirmative and then quickly found herself gasping and letting out small moans of pleasure as the tip of Shining’s member penetrated her back-end and began snaking its way into her.

“Huff…” Every… “Puff…” Loathsome… “OOOOOOoooo…” Minute…

“Ooooh, but we’re just getting started…” Cadance cooed as she paced around the bed with rather large black phallic toy held in her magic

Shining grinned. “I thought I was the one getting-huff-‘butt started’,” he said before began to slowly pump his hips.

Chrysalis let out the most annoyed groan she could under the circumstances, but it also came out rather breathy and carrying a tone of some genuine pleasure, much to her great chagrin. The last thing Shining needed was encouragement for his terrible jokes.

Cadance tossed a glance over her shoulder. “Chrysalis, I’m going to put it—”

“Yes, F-FINE!” Chrysalis snapped as her facial expression betrayed the annoyed look she tried to give. There was some gentle pressure pushing her legs further apart, no doubt from Cadence’s magic. She sucked in her breath as she felt the tip and shaft of the toy precision-thrust into her vagina, or ‘bug-vag’ as her pony lovers liked to call it. The toy made it part of the way in before it was enveloped in a green sheath that engulfed much of the length and pulsated as it took the length far inside Chrysalis.

Not finished, Cadance began floating up various phallic items from the floor and just inserting them wherever Chrysalis had a free hole, of which she had many. It was an… odd… but not unpleasant experience.

Chrysalis found herself all-out panting at this point. Shining propped himself upright with his forelegs and increased his rhythm. He moved his length in and out of her hindquarters as Cadance’s magic - combined with Chrysalis’s own natural changeling reproductive muscles; took hold of the item below the male pony’s unit. Several long, thin green tendrils suddenly shot out from the ends of this sheath and began quickly slithering under and behind the white stallion and his grey cock. Shining let out another moan of delight as two wrapped around his scrotum. Two more made their away around his flank, where they quickly found the entrance to what Shining would usually consider an exit. These tendrils made their way ‘down’ and spread the opening open, which seemed to only encourage the stallion to pump faster and let out more indications he was having a good time.

And the last three, tendrils...

The last three positioned reared upwards and away from Shining’s flank, their ends pointed at the opening.

Then all three were thrust forward.

This was acknowledged from Shining Armor with another heavy thrust that sent his large member as deep into Chrysalis’s anal tube as it could reach and a howl of pleasure from the stallion.

Chrysalis couldn’t help but grin as she felt like she was melting into the bed. Being a changeling certainly had its perks in these cases, though she had long forgotten if all of these ‘built-in accessories’ were natural, or things she had adapted into her true form from being alive on the planet for so long and harvesting the seed of various creatures. All of her own little additions were as good at feeling pleasure as they were giving it, however… Regardless of if the creature she was ‘milking’ wanted to feel it or not. Though, as of late, the latter was of no concern.

“Forgetting something?”

With half-lidded eyes already betraying the fact that Chrysalis was being bombarded by physical pleasure behind her, the changeling looked up. Cadance had on a smug grin as she stood upright on her hind legs and presented her pink member, the result of some silly pony spell or another she had memorized.

Another reminder that ponies were inferior. They had to look through books and memorize spells or make potions to swap genitalia or even change their gender… So uncivilized.

Still, Cadance’s unit was cute in its own right. Not nearly as massive or fulfilling as her husband’s, but as far as horse cocks jutting out impudently from between the legs of a mare, it was presumably better than most.

Chrysalis opened her mouth wide as her long tongue darted out and slithered around it in a spiral, wrapping itself around the member as she took the entire length in one quick gulp.

Cadance made the most delightfully embarrassing squeal as her entire face spasmed and she placed her forehooves on Chrysalis’s head. Not done, Chrysalis’ tongue continued to spool out of her, rubbing across every bit of Cadance’s magical unit before it made its way further behind and began lapping at the small protrusion of her hindquarters.

Cadance responded to this with a squeak of absolute delight as she clearly lost all control of her facial muscles.

But not her horn.

Cadance’s horn glowed a baby blue as two beams arced out and curved to form one of her disgusting hearts. This pulsating heart floated above Chrysalis between the two ponies she was sandwiched between.

And then it suddenly burst.

Chrysalis’s vision blurred as the feelings the ponies she was between flooded her being and pure pleasure triggered every touch receptor in her body. She found herself moaning, or rather humming, in ecstasy along with the yells and moans of the Princesses and Prince. The changeling’s hunger was quickly and completely satiated as the strongest love she had known coursed through her body and her brain seemingly swam in a sea of pure physical delight. Fluids poured out from both ponies as Chrysalis felt her own natural juices get added to the peculiar mix. For one brief, bliss filled moment, it was like the three lovers were completely wrapped in passion and pleasure and melting into one singularity of pure joy.

Chrysalis had to admit, it was…

…kind of okay.

Slowly, the feeling faded and Chrysalis’s faculties returned. She had collapsed into the center of the bed and retracted most of her loose appendages back into herself. Only her tongue lolled out of her mouth as she breathed in and out deeply, noting with some great dissatisfaction that she was still sandwiched between the two ponies, but now it was a snuggle sandwich instead of a spit roast. She tilted her head one way, then the other; noticing she was receiving twin expectant looks of post-coitus stupidity.

“Sooooo…” Shining began.

“How do you feel?” Cadance asked.

Chrysalis retracted her tongue. “No…” Chrysalis said between heavy breaths. “I’ll grant it was enjoyable, but if you two think that act somehow made me ‘whole again’, you are both sadly very mistaken.”

With disappointed looks on their faces, both ponies opened their mouths to speak.

“AND THE FIRST ONE TO MENTION MY LEGS GETS BEATEN TO DEATH WITH THE LARGE PLEASURE AID THAT WAS INSERTED INTO ME!”

Much to Chrysalis’s chagrin, her threat only resulted in a fit of hysterical laughter from her bedmates as they began gingerly pulling the various foreign objects from her less erogenous holes.

“HAHAHAHAHAhahahahehehe…” Cadance managed to get her laughter down to a mere snicker. "As entertaining as it'd be to have 'Beaten to a pulp by the 'Yesterday's Dinner Tickler' on my epitaph, I think Shining would be very jealous if anything phallic besides his own dick was my undoing."

Shining nodded, "I'd be inconsolable."

Chrysalis attempted to muster more anger but found she either lacked the energy at this point or perhaps the residual mix of emotions left over from her vigorous mating ritual with the ponies made it much harder than usual to maintain the simmering pot of disdain she felt for these two. She instead quickly struggled free of their grasp, her twisted horn flashing jade as she roughly pushed the ponies off of her, and leaped off the bed.

At least the remorseful and sorrowful looks of the two ponies were some cold comfort.

“I’m going to my room,” Chrysalis informed coldly.

“Chrysalis, wait!” Shining said in a pleading tone. “You don’t have to do that!”

Chrysalis growled, “Impudent, self-important Prince! I’m not leaving for the benefit of either of you!”

Shining let out a little whimper.

“Chrysalis, can’t we talk this out?” Cadance said. “Shining and I are going to feel just awful if you storm out like this…”

Good!”

“Come on, Chrysalis,” Shining said. “We just want to figure out what’s going to make you happy.”

Chrysalis glared at the couple on the bed. “Well, unless you’re going to allow to seek vengeance on the ponies that have wronged me, I feel we’re at a bit of an impasse!”

Cadance gave Chrysalis a somewhat hopeless look. Again, cold comfort.

“Okay,” Shining said simply.

“Shining! That’s mean!” Cadance exclaimed in a shocked tone.

Chrysalis scoffed and turned. “I thought as much…” though, truthfully she thought Cadance would be the first to crack.

“No,” Shining said, “Okay, as in we’ll give you permission to seek vengeance against the ponies that wronged you.”

“We will?!” Cadance gasped in complete disbelief.

“You will?!” Chrysalis said, echoing Cadance’s tone.

Shining leaned over and whispered into his wife’s ear. Chrysalis immediately reshaped her hearing structure, but it was too late. Shining’s horn was glowing lilac, and he had created a tiny barrier to block the flow of sounds from his whispers. The clever complete fool that he was.

Chrysalis simmered in silence, listing to the various disgusting sounds coming from inside the ponies’ bodies as she dreamed of opening their major arteries. The location of which she happened to know quite well...

As Shining continued to whisper, Cadance’s brow furrowed for a moment, then she pursed her lips in contemplation. After a few moments, she smiled and nodded. Then the two ponies shared a quick revolting kiss and touched their horns together, rubbing them against each other with sickeningly lovesick expressions on their faces.

Shining’s horn stopped glowing and Chrysalis quickly reshaped her audio receptors back to normal as the couple’s heavy breathing joined the sounds of their heartbeats and blood rushing through their bodies.

“We will,” Cadance said.

Chrysalis’s jaw dropped. “You understand that I want revenge, right? Revenge on quite a few ponies. Including pretty much all your loved ones and you two in particular.”

Shining nodded. “We know, that’s why we have a few conditions.”

Chrysalis let out a heavy groan as she raised a foreleg to her face dramatically. “You’re not going to lift any of the limitations on me!”

Cadance chuckled. “Oh please, you wouldn’t let a vicious murderer of changelings just roam free if you had the option of curtailing its behavior.”

“I might to let it thin my horde of some weakness! I mean… if you’re extending an offer nooooowww…

“Chrysalis!” Cadance snapped.

“Ugh…” She shook her head. “You two are fools… If I succeed here, and I assuredly will this time, I’ll be your end! The end of Equestria like I dreamed!” Her brow tightened. “You can’t possibly want that.”

“Well, no…” Shining admitted. “But if you succeed at least we’ll have finally made you happy again.”

Cadance smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chrysalis at once felt like her brain had short-circuited as it tried to process Shining's sentence and the resulting emotion it elicited. These two can’t POSSIBLY be THAT foolish… Can they?

Chrysalis thought for a moment, then something quite unexpected happened. She smiled. Not a smile designed to intimidate, or at least not one only designed to intimidate, but one of true joy at the thought of having an opportunity to strike back at all who had wronged her. This was followed by mirthful laughter that bubbled out from the changeling.

“Muhahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Correction, this was followed by dark, insidious laughter that oozed out like black tar from Chrysalis.

Despite this, Cadance and Shining responded with quiet snickering.

“You can go, but there have got to be more conditions,” Shining said.

Chrysalis laughter cut off instantly. “More?!” she called out in disbelief. She let out a groan. “Let me guess, you’re going to make a suit for me out of pillows and then declare I can only tickle my enemies to death!”

Shining laughed. “Wow. Don’t give us ideas.”

Cadance just shook her head. “We’ll give you a fair opportunity, but we can’t just let you have free reign across all of Equestria.”

“Of course not,” Chrysalis said, “my reign would be anything but free as it’s going to involve the complete subjugation of your race.”

Somehow this elected more laughter from the other two ponies, much to Chrysalis’s annoyance. She shook her head and narrowed her eyes. “I already can’t attack any pony or pretty much any sentient for that matter… Killing is completely out of the question. My options are pretty limited as it is.”

Shining smirked. “We’re confident you’ll think of something.”

Chrysalis thought for a moment and found herself smiling deviously to herself. It was true enough, she could still pull out a win using a number of methods. She wasn’t quite sure what game Cadance and Shining were playing, but even being as reasonably clever as they were when they put their heads together, she was still confident she could find some loophole. Smile still on her face, “Alright, what are your terms?”

Cadance yawned. “For starters, that we talk about this after we’ve all gotten some sleep.”

Chrysalis growled. “Ugh, you weak, pathetic ponies…” she spat out, though truth be told she found herself quite tired. True her earlier acts with the royal couple had filled her with power, but the method used to acquire this power still left her feeling quite lethargic and somewhat overwhelmed. “Very well.” Chrysalis turned to leave. “Tomorrow then.”

“Oh, and you have to sleep here with us tonight,” Shining called out.

Chrysalis could practically hear the smug grin on Shining armor’s stupid face.

She wheeled around. “WHAT?! That’s outrageous! Not to mention deceitful!” she added as she tried her best not to feel a small bit of respect for the couple using this opportunity to get their way.

Cadance gave Chrysalis a tired smile. “Think of it as just one more reason to be angry and an opportunity to let your hate for us bu—”

Chrysalis leaped, flitted her wings, and landed in a heap between the two ponies on her stomach.

“—rn…” Cadance concluded, obviously caught off guard at how quickly Chrysalis has seemingly changed her mind.

“Yes, my… yawn… unyielding hatred for you two… fine…” Chrysalis closed her eyes. “One or both of you rub my back.”

Shining snorted out a laugh. “You want us to rub your exoskeleton?”

“I shifted my back so it’s soft, you dolt!” Chrysalis snapped. “Now start rubbing and I’ll start hating… mind the wings.”

Much to Chrysalis’s delight, two sets of forehooves and some light magical pressure began gently caressing her muscles. As her wings occasionally buzzed to the feeling of her back muscles being worked, she let her thoughts drift to potential plans to get her revenge as well as letting her thoughts dwell on just how much she despised the two ponies she also just so happened to be sharing a bed with. A dark smile spread across her face as she celebrated getting the upper-hoof on the couple by forcing them to give her a message. Let her hate burn she would, and after she let that hate turn into an inferno over the course of a sleepless night, she’d use that feeling to push her forth into a new fiery dawn where she freed herself of her shackles and took revenge on all ponies that wronged her!

Still smiling to herself, Chrysalis fell asleep a few short minutes later.

Chapter Two: The Morning After

View Online

Chrysalis awoke the next morning the same she did most since she had begun staying with Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, covered in fluids and dried residue from the evening’s bedroom activities. Additionally, she found herself part of the couple’s three-part snuggle sandwich, in this particular instance, the meat, or perhaps it was more apt to say she was the cheese between two patties of hot animal flesh with how gooey she currently was.

She once tried to explain the particular joy of eating hot flesh of lesser beings to Cadance and Shining. They got ill during the conversation.

It was great, if confusing… Why did ponies keep all these lesser beings around like cows and sheep if not for sustenance?

So what if they could converse with ponies? She’d been conversing with ponies for centuries! Never did them any good.

As much as she’d love to complain about how uncomfortable it was to be smothered like this, the truth was the warmth from the two ponies gave her a sounder sleep than she had ever gotten in her hive surrounded by her brood. Still, as nourishing as the trio’s love sessions were every night, they were nowhere as fulfilling as some of Queen Chrysalis’s more successful raids on ponies during her long and glorious reign. Given enough time, she’d certainly be able to recall the specific raids over the centuries that were better. Yes… just a little more time.

The two ponies who had her trapped in their legs, love, and magical leverage were stirring, their bodies tossing and turning as limbs swatted at the mornings rays and occasionally Chrysalis’s face like the half-functional oafs that they were. Soon, their eyes fluttered open, largely because Chrysalis always swatted back, their brains supposedly abuzz of responsibilities to their oddly not disposable subjects and their pathetically tiny brood consisting of one entity.

Still, the couple were practically insatiable in regard to their sexual appetites. Before they’d remove themselves from the bed and free Chrysalis from her tangle of limbs cage, she knew they would have a brief exchange that’d determine if the morning would start with a ‘bang’ or a whimper.

Shining let out a tired groan as his eyelid fluttered open revealing eyes spiderwebbed with red veins. “Coffee…” he groaned out.

“I know what will wake you up!” Cadance replied in a tone of cheerful defiance.

Rolling her eyes, Chrysalis also rolled over onto her back and repositioned to put as little of herself as she could between Cadance’s mouth and Shining Armor’s sheathed cock. This involved some literal shrinkage on the changeling’s part and quite the opposite from Shining Armor as his wife was almost immediately face down in between his back legs. Cadance had lots of practice at this, as near as Chrysalis could tell, and used her lips, tongue, and magic to work past the skin and get at her target.

Within moments, Shining went from subtly protesting being awake to rejoicing waking life via moans and groans expressing his pleasure as his packaged member quickly reached its full size within the confines of his wife’s throat. All the while, Cadance had a slightly glazed over look on her face and small blush on her cheeks as she bobbed her head up and down the entire length, the mare taking in breaths through her nose as her lips reached the tip of her husband’s member and she quickly ran her tongue over the tip before taking the entire length again in one swift motion. The technique was something even Chrysalis had to give Cadance - a non-shape shifter - credit for.

Chrysalis momentarily considered shouting out the trio’s safe word just to spoil the married couple’s fun, but she had done that all of one time in a very similar situation. It didn’t end well… for her specifically. Mostly it resulted in her hearing “THEN LEAVE!” in stereo while she was magically ejected from the room and left sitting confused outside followed by twin doors slamming while the muffled sounds of marital bliss continued.

Shining’s moans suddenly became louder and higher pitched, making it clear he was about to cum. Cadance simply quickened her pace, bobbing her head up and down the horse cock at about a second per dip until Shining’s noises hit a crescendo and he held his wife’s head down in place. Cadance’s eyes rolled back in her head slightly and her happy blush only increased as her husband unloaded whatever it was he had managed to build up in the small collection of hours since he last shot his load. Shining certainly could hold his own when it came to endurance, usually, but he was no match for his wife’s full mouth-and-throat technique when it came to pleasing him. She was simply a professional at draining him.

Chrysalis watched the display with disdain as her own reproductive organs twinged in protest at not being included.

After a brief bout of Cadance working her head up and down to lap up every last drop of her husband’s love-juices, she finally unlocked lips from cock and took in a deep breath. This gave Shining all of a second to catch his breath before his wife had flopped on top of him. She let out a cheerful, “My turn!” as she rubbed her dripping wet marehood over his semi-erect penis. Cadance flopped a couple limbs on top of Chrysalis to let the Changeling Queen know she had not been forgotten and likely, that she was more than welcome, nay, expected to join in for round two.

“Ugh,” Chrysalis groaned out. “You two are incorrigible.”

Shining let out a mirthful laugh as the baby blue glow from his wife’s horn surrounded his penis and it extended back to its full length almost immediately. “Do you want to get mad at this situation,” Shining shimmied his pelvis and telekinetically adjusted his member and wife so that he slid neatly into her moist opening, “or do you want to ram your ovipositor up my wife’s ass?”

Cadance let out a joyous moan of pleasure as Chrysalis narrowed her eyes. “Why must you make me choose?!”

Panting and moaning as she bounded up and down her husband’s length, Cadance managed to get out, “You can always angrily fuck me up the ass!”

Sighing to herself, Chrysalis answered, “Your proposal is acceptable.” Chrysalis took a moment to sip at the small amount of hot-red love that wafted from the couple. Mornings with the two were somewhat rough in regards to sustenance as both ponies seemed to operate almost purely out of lust before their ritual indulgences. Still, the mating display had managed to get her a bit hot and bothered and a snack was better than nothing.

Chrysalis pushed out the other green apparatus from her ‘vag of tricks’. This one somewhat resembled a stallion’s own penis, but with a more oblong shaft and two round pods sitting near her entrance on either side of the organ. Her ovipositor already glistening with anticipation, she clambered her way to the top of the pony pile electing a small “Oof” from Shining Armor as the collective weight of his alicorn wife and Changeling Queen lover pushed him further into the bed.

This did pretty much nothing to stop the gyrating of the ponies below. Despite the ‘bumpy ride’, Chrysalis positioned her - sadly currently unfertilized, egg depositor over Cadance’s puffy rear entrance.

And then she plunged it down as hard as she could.

The tip met soft flesh and quickly pushed into an opening as Cadance let out a shriek that was half pain, half ecstatic delight. While there certainly wasn’t an undue amount of friction as Chrysalis worked herself further and further into the tight crevasse of the princess’s rear, the ‘biological excitement’ from the couple had done well to get it nice and moist inside Chrysalis’s love pouch for its journey.

Chrysalis managed to wonder briefly if the couple somehow planned these sorts of things before her synapses began to light up with pleasure from the act of rutting Cadance’s ass as her husband worked her from the bottom. All three creatures began to work out a rhythm to their movements that worked to maximize pleasure for all parties involved as their moans filled the morning-light filled bedroom.

Chrysalis for her part couldn’t help but get lost in the physical pleasure of the moment. She closed her eyes as her tongue lolled out, draping over Cadance’s left shoulder as the mare herself sported an expression of pure bliss, which she could clearly see in the mirror on the wall, or the ceiling if she preferred, because of course they had them everywhere. Narcissism was just another form of love, after all. As she continued to pound away at the pink pony beneath her she felt a slight tap at her horn, Shining leaning his head past Cadance’s and inserting his own horn into her lower ‘horn-hole’. This was probably some stupid Pony sign of affection that Chrysalis wanted no part of, but she was too lost in the moment to protest. Also, the move might have something of a practical application as with her horn semi-hooked on Shining's she could better time their two-pronged attack on his wife’s lower half… maybe…

Finally managing to get out real words, Cadance yelled out an. “Oh-oh I’m cumming!”

Then there was a flash of plum light from Shining’s horn as he directed his and Chrysalis’s horn to touch Cadance’s. Again, a world of pure synaptic pleasure flooded over the three as their moans and shouts of pleasured intermingled much like their bodies.

Then, for a brief few moments, the three collapsed into another heap on the bed as they all tried to regain control of their ragged breathing.

Shining lovingly nuzzled his wife. “Well, good morning to you, too!” he said as Cadance tittered like a newlywed and nuzzled him back.

Cadance gave her husband a beaming smile. “No, but really… Coffee sounds delicious.”

Sucking in the air through clenched teeth, Chrysalis noshed on the energy of high lust with its relatively low love content, despite the brief exchange between the married couple. She said nothing and instead quickly detached the two tired ponies from her personage and jumped from the large bed where she flitted to the ground. No real breakfast for her from these two, it seemed… Her two depraved junkie hosts just had to have their liquid stimulants to start the day.

Well, she’d just have to make do with the energy she had gorged herself on during the trio’s second round until lunchtime. Assuming the couple could spare the time on top of their ‘bargaining’ with Chrysalis… Oh, who was she kidding? They somehow always found the time.

Cadance flashed Chrysalis the most dazzling smile she could in her tired state. “Chrysalis? Could you get somepony to bring coffee?”

Chrysalis grunted something that was roughly an affirmative. The couple had long since stopped asking her to get coffee personally. What Chrysalis brought back was sludgelike in composition and blacker than her exoskeleton, though still a shade or two lighter than her heart. Worse still, it never failed to give the royals alarming heart palpitations and what they dubbed 'the brown sweats.'

They did get a lot of work done over the three days where they were incapable of sleeping, though.

She stretched her body to the left, to the right, then was consumed in jade flames that left a smaller, if still somewhat tall and thin pony in place. In this case, black chitin turned to an ashen gray coat and gossamer wings changed to feathered ones. Her eyes also rounded out to look more like a pony’s. However, her jade irises remained. Her hair also remained much the same, though the color had wandered a bit more in the ‘pastel’ direction to better match Chrysalis’s new coat color. To complete her look, a cutie mark of a round, gold-gilded cage containing a black breezie-like creature with bright-green wings inside was added to her flank.

When she first came up with the new form, her initial version of the mark had a teardrop on the face of the small creature, but her hosts had said that they ‘get it’ and that she was ‘overly dramatic.’ So, Chrysalis lost the tear and settled for yelling at the pair for a while, which involved a lot of eye-rolling, and then a lot of angry ‘make-up’ sex.

At least that’s how those two saw it.

A sort of ‘phantom’ horn appeared as her magic flashed jade and a small end table next to the bed opened. Chrysalis levitated out a pair of trendy-looking, bright-green framed glasses and set them on her nose.

With merely a few steps, the annoyance on Chrysalis’s face changed from targeted to a general disdain for the planet and everything living, dead, or in-between on it. Granted, it took very little to get in character. With a few more steps she was at the double doors to the royal bedroom and threw them open as hard as she could while stomping around.

Though the blindingly bright-in-the-morning-sun hallway was relatively empty for a moment, a purple crystal stallion pegasus in gleaming metal guard armor clearly heard the noise and rushed over as quickly as his wings would carry him. It was only when he got about halfway down the hall that he spotted Chrysalis in her pegasus form and his flight slowed from ‘Here I come to save the daaaaaay!’ to ‘I have made a horrible mistake this morning!’ as he slowed and stopped perhaps just out of typical comfortable conversation distance from Chrysalis.

Probably because what was about to happen was never a comfortable conversation.

“Uh… Miss Persnickety!” The guard quickly stood at attention with his spear held upright. “I heard the doors slam open and thought—”

Chrysalis narrowed her eyes and took a moment to adjust her glasses with a forehoof. “Shut up.”

“Erm… Yes, ma’am.”

“The royal junkies want coffee, random pony guard. And you’re going to get it for them.”

The guard hesitated.

“Five minutes ago would have been nice!” Chrysalis snapped.

“Uh… Ma’am? I technically don’t answer to you and my name i—"

No one cares!Chrysalis snapped letting genuine anger seep into her tone. “Their most royal neediness-ess want coffee! Go get some! Chop-chop! Rejoice in your deliverance from your monotonous guard duty or lament that cruel fate has deemed that you have to go get mind-altering liquid this morning! Either way, just do it!”

The guardspony swallowed. “Ye-yes, ma’am!”

Still fully armored and carrying a spear, the guard made haste down the hallway.

Chrysalis raise a forehoof to her mouth. Remember! Three sugars and a HEART in the foam for the FIRST coffee. Then an extra shot of espresso, FIVE sugars, and a six-pointed star on a shield, and three FIVE-point stars surrounding that for the second!” She wasn’t sure what perverse joy Cadance and Shining took in having such peculiar tastes in how they liked their drinks, but that hardly bothered her compared to the fact that it was quite common for a guard to not do what Chrysalis asked the VERY MOMENT she asked it.

Regardless of what Chrysalis might think of the couple’s ridiculous morning rituals, it wasn’t the guard’s place to question their betters and the fact that they even shot her the odd confused look made Chrysalis wish she could currently boil their insides with her magic while they were still living.

Also, Chrysalis heard tell that the coffee at the local guard’s station had improved substantially and the royal guards were now amongst the best baristas in all of Equestria, so what was their problem?!

The whole sordid exchange had left Chrysalis with sourer-sourpuss than usual. The only recourse was to find a little love to soothe her annoyance. If Princess Cadance and Shining Armor were mostly empty taps at the moment, she’d just have to find her meal elsewhere.

Luckily, her captors had a snack presented on a massive crystal plate for her.

She took a short jaunt down the hall as her ‘phantom’ horn sparked green for a second before Chrysalis thought better of it and opened the door with her forelegs. The pegasus form was inconvenient in that she couldn’t use magic, but at least she could fly without arousing suspicion. She also had learned to get by with mostly pointing and yelling at ponies to get what she needed.

It was just a short jaunt down the hallway to the royal heir’s room and any guard ponies that caught sight of her continued on their patrol as if Chrysalis wasn’t there. In fact, it was more accurate to say that they immediately avoided eye contact. Truly, it was the best infiltration job Chrysalis had ever pulled, and rather than convince anypony she was somepony else entirely, she got to freely be as irritating as she wanted and yell at ponies. This also made this ongoing infiltration far more tolerable than most.

So, she had worked her way into penetrating a nation at a level she could normally only pull off by kidnapping and replacing royalty, no pony would ever question who she was in her alternate form, and she didn’t even have to be polite to anypony!

And she had nowhere to go with… with any of this…

Sure, reluctantly going back to Princess Cadance and Shining Armor after their perhaps, too welcoming (as well as unnervingly bizarre) invitation eventually felt like the right thing to do. Given the first option was hide under the bed and play nice with one of her most hated enemies and the other option was accepting love buffets via debauched threesome one-to-three times a day, with snacks on the side…

However, was that really all she could do? There were conditions to Chrysalis’s becoming ‘part of the herd’… Ones enforced by magic. Not that Chrysalis blamed her captors, of course, had she decided to keep a former enemy around as a ‘pet’, she’d do everything she could to curtail a sudden, but inevitable, betrayal.

Still, this left Chrysalis perfectly taken care of, but with nothing to show for her centuries of rulership.

Chrysalis stood up on her haunches and pushed open a set of double doors in front of her. Weeks ago, she would have lamented even having to put in that amount of effort to get around, but the act had become something of a routine.

Well… At least I have the chance to do SOMETHING even if it requires playing more games with the most royal of the pony nymphomaniacs. Right. A chance. And it could be a good chance if she could push past her most recent irritations.

The soft coos of a tiny infant pony greeted Chrysalis as she walked in, inviting her further into the room. Chrysalis licked her pony lips with a decidedly un-pony forked tongue as she entered the massive nursery.

She passed an armoire and shot a glance at a door along the far wall. She had never asked what this room was before it became a nursery, but for some reason, it had a utility closet large enough to hold cleaning supplies and three regular-sized ponies. Or perhaps two alicorns, Chrysalis had surmised.

Not that she was ever sure what she would do with this information, or why it had occurred to her. It was also beyond her insurmountable intellect what anypony would do with a wooden bucket that had a hole in it, but it was an artifact of the room regardless.

Still, pony babies did seem to be little mess factories, so perhaps the supplies made some degree of sense.

She approached the crystal bed in the room. Though most pony babies were usually caged, most pony babies didn’t have wings bigger than Chrysalis’s in her true form and a horn to boot. Her parents likely gave up on conventional containment bedding immediately, understanding it was unlikely to stop the foal when they saw it escape her disgusting mammalian birth prison.

No matter…

Trust was the most reliable cage of all.

Smiling malevolently to herself, Chrysalis caught sight of her prey. An alicorn baby with a coat color slightly pinker than that of a changeling larva, a mane and tail of a grotesque purple-pink gradient with a bright blue swish through it. The foal also sported a horn jutting out from its forehead, and a pair of folded wings that - when extended, were larger than the creature itself. While Chrysalis had it on record the baby could be a hassle, even a danger if mishandled, to her it was as docile as a domesticated pet.

In changeling terms, it was pretty much a crème puff.

The baby burbled in delight upon seeing Chrysalis’s pony form, releasing a spore of palpable pink-love into the air. Chrysalis took a moment to suck in the heavy concentration of love. It suddenly went quiet, hugged herself, and shivered. That apparently done, she burbled again and even laughed, letting out even more love that swirled around Chrysalis.

In a blaze of jade fire, Chrysalis resumed her changeling form. Grinning with a mouth full of sharp white teeth, and a pair of fangs to boot, she loomed over the infant like a predator ready to strike. Slowly, her lips split open wider as she lowered herself closer to the little princess.

“Boo!”

The pathetic pony larva giggled mirthfully and playfully swatted up at Chrysalis as even more love was released. Chrysalis did her best to consume it all in one gulp, but it was a bit much even for her legendary appetite. Flurry Heart -that is- the putrid filthmonger of a creature cringed slightly as it sensed something was amiss, then immediately broke into a titter and threw its forelegs up and down as if trying to say ‘Again! Again!’

It was something peculiar, the love of an infant pony. Well, particularly in the sense of having it straight from the source, instead of cocooned and fed off of in dribs and drabs. It came in short, powerful bursts before the creature would get distracted and their love waned quite quickly. However, it never seemed to completely go away and lingered in the air much like… Oh, probably something ponies liked, the smell of cinnamon buns perhaps…

The aforementioned filthmonger pulled a twisted face for a moment then giggled again.

Chrysalis sniffed the air… Well this certainly doesn’t smell like cinnamon buns. She quickly placed the infant back in its crib as it looked up at her with big, glassy eyes and Flurry Heart’s lower lip began to quiver.

“Oh, don’t give me that look!” Chrysalis exclaimed. “You know the rules! You being in a clean, well-behaved state barely qualifies you as being worthwhile for the love you give me! Once you spoil either of those things with a tantrum or by making yourself literally smell like you’re spoiled food, you’re your parent’s problem, not mine!”

To the barely-grown love engine’s credit, it managed to stop itself from wailing if only by virtue of compressing her lips together harder as tears rolled down her cheeks and she began to sniffle.

Chrysalis simply grunted in displeasure. She could simply disable her olfactory receptors, but did she really want to give this tiny creature the satisfaction as well as start teaching it that it was ‘okay’ for it to soil itself in her presence?

No.

No to both those things.

Before Chrysalis could make a production of abandoning the child to its refuse, Cadance and Shining Armor poured in. Causing the smaller, dumber pony to let out another burst of merriment as they regarded the scene in front of them with tired smiles. Before either pony could say anything, Chrysalis did an about-face. “Your infant has messed itself!” she declared. “Fix it. Now,” she added as she transformed back into her pony form.

Shining just chuckled. “Of course, we’ll take it from here.”

Cadance nodded. “Thanks for checking up on Flurry Heart.”

Chrysalis just tightened her eyes. “Its love was delicious!” she hissed out as evilly as she could. Rather than have the desired effect, the two pony parents simply replied with a perfectly synchronized warble of “AWWWWWawwwww!” Growling, Chrysalis arranged both her wings so only an extended middle-feather was showing as she flounced out of the room. She couldn’t remember when or what creature she had picked up that little display of anger from, but it was somehow satisfying to share with ponies even if it mostly just left them confused.

“Uh… We’ll meet in my study at lunch to talk about your little vengeance run, okay?” Shining called out.

“THE SKY WILL TURN BLOOD-RED WITH THE LOVE OF THOSE DEAR TO YOU AND THEIR TEARS WILL FLOOD THE STREETS!” Chrysalis shot back.

This was met with an unamused “Don’t do that,” from Shining Armor, a chipper “That’s the spirit! Never give up!” from Princess Cadance, and one more delighted burble from the little perpetual love dispenser.

Chrysalis just grumbled to herself as she left. She figured she’d make the rounds through the palace and ask the staff and guardsponies on shift helpful questions like, “Why are you so disappointing at what you’re doing right now?” and offer helpful follow-up advice like, “Perhaps you could STOP being such a waste of space and do better?” Plus, despite the annoyances, her head was clear, and her goal quite focused. There was no way Cadance and Shining Armor would allow her to directly harm any of her targets, so she’d have to look at the problem from all angles and come at it sideways. Fortunately for her and unfortunately for everypony else, she was the Changeling Queen.

Coming at things sideways was all she ever did.
