> Hatched. > by Lucy_Marigold > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 - Trapped. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 - Trapped. Princess Twilight Sparkle walked through the streets of Ponyville, stopping outside her home, The Golden Oaks Library. There was a single guard posted outside her home, a unicorn, standing stiffly without moving an inch. “Evening, Golden Hooves.” She spoke, greeting the unicorn guard. “Evening, Princess.” He replied with a gruff voice, opening the door for her. Twilight stepped inside, hearing the door being shut behind her. Spike was already curled up asleep in her basket. She lowered a blanket over the young dragon, smiling as she watched him sleep for a moment. After a while she trotted up the steps, slipping into her bed with a yawn. She levitated a book towards herself, reading a few pages. After she yawned for a second time and the words on the pages became difficult to read did she finally close the book. She placed it on a nearby shelf with her magic before turning off the light and snuggling into the blankets. ~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight woke up suddenly, her eyes cracking open. She smelt the overwhelming smell of bile and rubbish. She scanned her surroundings. She wasn’t in her home anymore. She was in a cave like structure, the only form of light being a glowing green panel on the wall. She moved her fore hoof, it being pulled back. Her wings were strapped tightly to her body with some kind of adhesive she had no knowledge of. She was chained against the wall, her movement limited. Her ears perked as she heard creaky hoof steps. A pair of green eyes leering through the darkness at her. She tried to scream but discover she had something covering her muzzle. Queen Chrysalis emerged, a sicking grin on her muzzle. Twilight squealed as she moved forward, tearing off the thing covering her muzzle. “Why? What?!” Twilight spluttered, unable to understand what was happening. “Why did you take me?!” “Shut it, you little grub!” Chrysalis hissed, her tongue flicking like a snakes as she spoke. “You’re going to do something for me.” “Never. Princess Celestia-“ “Won’t ever find you.” Chrysalis smirked, moved forward, activing her horn. Twilight’s eyes shrunk in fear as she slunk backwards, her back hitting the stone wall behind her. Twilight tried to use her magic but it spluttered out. “That’s it, resist, you worm.” Chrysalis moved even closer, biting Twilight in the shoulder with her fangs. “You’re going to make the perfect Changeling, my little Princess.” Twilight felt her body go limp, making her unable to more or resist Chrysalis. Her heart raced as Chrysalis began to rub something across Twilight’s chest, wrapping it around her entire body. “W-What are you doing?!” Twilight squealed, panic beginning to set in as she was being encased in some kind of cocoon. She began to feel sleepy, gazing into Chrysalis’s glowing green eyes. Chrysalis smiled wide, showing her fangs and flickering tongue. “Don’t you want to serve your new Queen?” Chrysalis hissed, not stopping her work. Twilight didn’t reply. New urges swarmed her. She wanted to do everything for Chrysalis, her Queen. No. Twilight pushed those thoughts out of her head, they weren’t hers. But she wanted to bow down to Chrysalis, reject Celestia. She felt a slime like substance surround her, making it difficult to move. The adhesive around her wings melted and merged with the slime around her. She screamed and tried to squirm. “That’s it! Resist! You ponies are good at that.” She saw the shadow of the Queen of the Changelings above the cocoon, her green eyes locking with Twilights. Twilight blinked, her eyes changing to green as she fell under Chrysalis’s spell. Twilight moved herself as Chrysalis inserted her member into the soft cocoon. Twilight positioned her marehood above it as Chrysalis began to thrust in and out. She groaned in pleasure as it entered her marehood. Twilight didn’t want to do this but had to. Chrysalis pushed forward, almost entering the cocoon herself as she pierced the thin layer blocking entry. Blood and fluids dripped out of Twilight, mixing with the slime around her. Twilight groaned, in complete ecstasy to be pleasing her new Queen. Royal Jelly began to flow out of Chrysalis’s member, the black liquid entering Twilight. She began to thrust faster, some of the Royal Jelly spilling into the slime. Chrysalis removed her member, allowing some more Royal Jelly to spill forward and mix into the green slime, turning it a darker green. Twilight closed her eyes, groaning. “To it again, my Queen.” Twilight begged, complete enraptured in Chrysalis’s spell. Chrysalis smiled, sharp teeth showing. “On one condition, little mare. Renounce Celestia.” Chrysalis hissed, perched above the cocoon, grinning wildly. “Anything. Celestia is nothing to me, My Queen.” Twilight spoke, her eyes gazing over. Chrysalis entered the cocoon once more, thrusting into Twilight until the mare groaned with ecstasy. Chrysalis released even more Royal Jelly, filling Twilight to the brim with it. Moments later, Chrysalis stopped, pulling away. Twilight closed her eyes, smiling as she floated in the now dark green slime. The cocoon began to harden, the slime inside becoming harder as it began to change the mare inside. Twilight’s mane changed from its natural state to a light green frill like Chrysalis. She felt her horn curving and her coat beginning to peel off, being replaced by black chitin shell. Her normal bones eroded, creating holes in her legs and horn. Her wings changed to translucent ones, her feathers falling off and her bones dissolving into the slime. Twilight opened her eyes, Chrysalis’s spelling wearing off. She let loose bubbles as she screamed in pain at the transformation, Chrysalis laughing beyond the cocoon. “You ponies never stop resisting do you?” She heard Chrysalis speak. She thrashed, unable to break free from the cocoon as it continued to harden. Chrysalis then covered the cocoon with something else, unseeable to Twilight’s eyes. The new covering slowly blocked out the light, leaving Twilight in the dark. Twilight closed her eyes once more, accepting her fate. > Chapter 2 – Awakened. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 – Awakened. Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes, discovering she was surrounded by dark green slime, a cocoon sealing her inside. She didn’t quite remember what had happened. She pushed her horn forward, the pointy horn breaking through the shell as slime burst forward. She spilled onto the floor, covered in the dark slime. She heard hoof steps and she turned her head. Chrysalis emerged from the darkness, flanked by two other changelings in dark blue armour. “Hello.” Chrysalis hissed softly. She moved forward, lifting the new changeling up gently into a sitting position, the slime drying quite quickly around her body. “Y-You!” Twilight stuttered, pulling back from Chrysalis. Twilight screamed when she looked down at her own hooves, the black chitin now replacing her skin. “What did you do to me?!” She screamed. Twilight stumbled to the ground as thoughts began to overwhelming her. Queen Chrysalis was her Queen. Twilight tried to resist, telling herself that it would be traitorous to befall the lies of a Changeling. But she was a changeling now wasn’t she? That meant Chrysalis was her Queen. Twilight kept fighting the overwhelming urge to please her new Queen. Her legs bucked under her as she battled her brain. “N-No. I won’t.” She said out loud through clenched teeth. “Yes, you will. You want to. Listen to me, little Princess.” Chrysalis spoke, grabbing Twilight by her muzzle. “You can’t resist it for long. I know what’s going on in your little head of yours. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy pleasing your Queen before.” She hissed. Twilight blushed, faintly remembering what had happened prior. “What do you want me to do, my Queen?” Twilight spoke softly, losing the battle within her mind. “Hmm.” Chrysalis moved back. Twilight bowed her head, silently awaiting her Queen’s orders. Chrysalis looked back at one of the guards. “You, show our newest changeling to her chambers. When you are done, bring her to my chambers.” She hissed at one of the guards. He moved forward before speaking. “If you wish my Queen.” He hissed. Twilight slowly rose, following after the guard, her hooves clicking across the floor. It didn’t smell like bile or rubbish anymore. It smelt more like honey and pollen. Twilight followed after the unknown guard. The walls around Twilight were all tunnels, leading into another places. It was almost like she was in an anthill or bee hive, the walls looking like dark black honey comb. She heard thoughts inside her head that weren’t hers, jumbled with her own. The guard lead her through the maze of tunnels. They climbed up a large upwards slope, continuing forward. He silently pressed a hoof against the wall and an opening appeared. Twilight stepped through the opening behind him. “This is your chambers. Our Queen’s chamber is down the hall and above. When you are ready to see her, tell me. I’ll just be outside.” Was all he spoke to her, leaving afterwards. Twilight saw the opening close behind him. That must be how doors work here, Twilight thought. She glanced around the room she was contained in. There was a single bed pushed up in the corner with slime like film acting as a curtain. A dresser and a single mirror sat on the other side, both make of what seemed to be walnut wood. There was also a small bookshelf with a few measly books. She stared into the mirror in horror and disbelief. Twilight now had similar eyes to Chrysalis yet they had a purple hue. Her mane was in her normal bang, her mane was more of a frill than hair. It was a dark shade of purple. There were a few holes here and there as well. Her horn was curved and riddled with holes and curves. Her muzzle had grown longer, fangs now replacing her teeth. Even her ears had changed shape. Twilight collapsed on the floor, sobbing into her hold-ridden hooves. She quickly wiped them away and rose from the ground, walking back towards where the opening was prior. It opened once more when she placed a hoof against it, the guard still standing there. “I’m ready,” Twilight whispered, her head bowed to the ground. The changeling nodded, leading her down the twisting hallway. Rather than an opening this time, there was a large set of ornate doors, carved with images of changelings. The guard pushed the door opened, Twilight stepping inside. She heard the door being shut behind her. Queen Chrysalis’s chambers looked similar to Twilight’s own, but rather than a single bed it was a double and rather than a single mirror it was a vanity.  Queen Chrysalis was standing in front of a window, the frame looking like honeycomb. Twilight bowed before speaking. “I have come as you requested, m-my Queen.” Twilight reluctantly spoke. Chrysalis turned around a slight smile on her muzzle. “Come here,” Chrysalis said, motioning to the spot beside her. Twilight did as she was told. “What do you think of Celestia’s sun?” She asked. Twilight’s face became knitted in thought and she looked at the glowing orb in the sky. “I t-think it’s beautiful.” She finally spoke after a few minutes. There was a loud crack as Chrysalis slapped her across the muzzle. Twilight stumbled back, dazed. “It is NOT beautiful. Of course, you’d still hold those sentiments with her.” Chrysalis snapped, a look of fury on her face. “There is no one I hold sentiments with other than you, my Queen.” Twilight rambled, bowing once more. “Liar. Tell me the truth.” She hissed, glowering down at Twilight. “I still love Celestia more than you.” Twilight quickly let slip. She covered her muzzle with her hoof, regretting her choice of words instantly. Chrysalis activated her magic, forcing Twilight to maintain eye contact as Chrysalis enraptured her mind once more. She walked around Twilight for a moment before speaking. “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. What am I going to do with you? You still have that cutie mark that even my magic cannot remove so it would be difficult to erase everything and start fresh. Tell me, what should I do, little Princess?” Chrysalis spoke, turning the Twilight’s muzzle to both sides. “A-Anything you want, my Queen.” Twilight stuttered out, the trance taking full effect. Chrysalis grinned, activating another spell. Twilight’s eyes glazed over with a purple hue. Twilight stood stiffly as Chrysalis walked around her, horn ablaze with green magic. “Hmm. Let’s see what you think of Celestia now after I alter a few things.” Chrysalis spoke as she mentally shifted through Twilight’s memories, changing all with Celestia involved. Chrysalis even changed the kidnapping to something of free will. Chrysalis deactivated her magic, allowing Twilight to fade from her trance. ~~~~~~~~~~ The changeling blinked, rubbing her eyes quickly. Queen Chrysalis stood in front of her, a smile on the Queen’s face. “Are you aware of where you are?” She asked the changeling. “I-I.. think so, my Queen. The Hive.” The changeling replied, rubbing her head. “Do you remember your name?” Chrysalis asked, placing a hoof on the changeling’s shoulder. “And how you came to the Hive?” “My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle, future Queen of the Changelings.” She spoke softly. “Why did you come to the Hive willingly?” She pressured, leaning closely to Twilight. “I came of free will when I realised Celestia wasn’t as she seemed.” She lied. “Who is Celestia to you?” Chrysalis hissed in Twilight’s ear, seemly not noticing the last lie. “The enemy.” She answered, her horn sparking with lime green magic as a reaction. “And who am I to you?” The Queen of the Changelings questioned, locking eyes with Twilight once more. Twilight’s eye glazed over as she became enraptured in Chrysalis’s spell once more. “Everything. You are everything, my Queen.” Twilight spoke. “I-I… want to please you like before, my Queen.” Twilight’s eyes were ablaze with lust and wanting that wasn’t her own. Chrysalis smiled wickedly, leaning closely against Twilight. “Beg me for it.” She hissed, her snake-like tongue flicking across Twilight’s muzzle. “I beg you! Please my Queen!” Twilight begged on her hooves, tears in the changeling’s eyes. “Please! I beg you! Fill me with yourself again!” Twilight rose from her hooves, continuing to beg. Chrysalis moved forward, locking mouths with Twilight, snaking her long tongue in her mouth. She pushed Twilight backward onto the bed, through the slime curtains. Twilight groaned, already anticipating the pleasure. “Please.” She spoke through heavy breathes. Chrysalis unleashed her number, pushing it forwards into Twilight’s marehood, thrusting in and out rapidly. Twilight grabbed onto Chrysalis’s waist, allowing the Changeling Queen to sit on top of Twilight as she thrusted more and more. Twilight felt herself reaching her climax, groaning in pure ecstasy and pleasure. Chrysalis removed her member for a moment. “Don’t stop, my Queen! Please never stop!” Twilight screamed. Chrysalis smiled, resuming the act. “Do you want something other than my Royal Jelly, little Princess?” Chrysalis asked, never stopping her thrusts. Twilight groaned, still enraptured with Chrysalis and her spell. The bed beneath them was shaking so violently yet it didn’t faze either of them. “Anything for you, my Queen.” Twilight replied between groans and the occasional grunt whilst still being stuck in her trance-like state. Chrysalis’s smile grew even wider as she plunged her cock deeper than before. It entered Twilight womb as she let loose small gasp of surprise. Chrysalis released her eggs, all of them beginning to fill the new changeling’s womb. Twilight groaned as more eggs entered her body. Chrysalis didn’t stop until every last one had filled Twilight. She removed her number from the changeling beneath her. “How did that feel, my little Princess?” Chrysalis hissed into Twilight’s ear. “I want you to do it again, my Queen. It was wonderful.” Twilight spoke wistfully, gazing off into nothing, swaying every once and a while. “Ah but I have bigger plans for you. You will be able to do that again. In due time." Chrysalis said, smiling wickedly, looking at the mesmerised Twilight in front of her. > Chapter 3 - Undercover. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 – Undercover. Twilight awoke in her bed, the blankets of moss falling to the ground when she rose. She trotted over to the mirror to adjust her frills before exiting her chambers. She trotted down the hallway, heading in the direction of the throne room. As she passed, drones and guards alike bowed to her. Her abdomen felt heavy with the eggs she carried. It had been five months since she first began carrying them but she carried them with pride, knowing that she had pleased her Queen whilst also suppling for the future of the Hive. At least that’s what Chrysalis told her. Twilight entered the throne room, bowing to the Queen before speaking. “Good Morning, my Queen. You summoned me?” Twilight spoke, maintaining eye contact with Queen Chrysalis. “Yes. I have a task for you. A lengthy one at that. You shall go to Ponyville under the disguise of your old pathetic pony form. You will remain undercover until the eggs inside of you hatch or you are discovered to be a changeling, is that clear?” “Yes, my Queen. I shall return with more love for the hive.” Twilight spoke with a bow. The Queen dismissed her with a wave off her hoof. Twilight nodded, walking out of the throne room. She kept walking through the Hive until she arrive to one of the main openings. A guard nodded, opening it for her. Twilight stretched her translucent wings, quickly taking her disguise. She took the appearance of a lavender colour mare. The mare had bangs of dark purples and pinks. Twilight began to fly upwards, heading in the direction she had been told Ponyville was. She flew through the Badlands until she reached a forest. She kept going until she arrived at a quaint little town. She landed on the ground, trotting alone the dirt road until she entered the town. She entered into town, seeing a large crowd gather outside the old town hall. She kept walking until she bumped into an orange coloured earth pony with a blond ponytail. The earth pony turned around and looked at Twilight as if she had seen a ghost. “Twilight? That you? Where you been?” The earth pony asked, eyes wide with surprise and shock. “Uh Hey, AJ.” Twilight said, rubbing her neck with her fore hoof. “The girls and Spike have been worried sick! Cmon, let’s go see them. They’re in yer house.” Applejack said, grabbing Twilight by the hoof before guiding her. Twilight could taste the happiness that oozed out of the earth pony as they walked toward a large tree. There was a sign hanging outside stating that it was The Golden Oak Library. Her old home. Applejack entered first, motioning for Twilight to follow. “Girls! Lookie who I found!” “Twilight!” They all shouted, tackling her into a hug. “Where have you been?” Fluttershy asked, the others were sitting in a circle, surrounding Twilight. “Royal duties. I went off to the yaks for a few months to learn their culture more. I wanted to experience it myself. I’m sorry I didn’t tell anypony. Something happened alone the way as well. I got pregnant.” Twilight lied, trancing a hoof across her bulging abdomen. “Oh. My. Celestia!” Rarity shouted, fainting onto a nearby couch. “Who’s the stallion?” Rainbow Dash asked, hovering above Twilight. “No pony. It was one time.” Twilight snapped. Rainbow flinched back, slightly startled by Twilight’s tone. She sighed, “Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just tired. I-I want to go to bed soon. Could you guys leave?” Twilight asked. The girls agreed almost instantly, filling out of the library with wishes of good sleep and that they would come back tomorrow. “Spike, can you send a scroll to Princess Celestia explaining my absence?” Saying that name created some kind of feeling, similar to love. “Sure thing Twilight. Are you going to bed?” Spike replied, already writing the scroll. Twilight nodded. “Goodnight Spike.” She spoke, climbing the wooden steps to the bed. It wasn’t her bed anymore. The library wasn’t her home anymore, the Hive was. “Night Twilight.” Spike’s voice echoed from below in reply. Twilight used her magic to turn off the lights. Twilight laid her body across the bed, feeling the eggs inside of her moving. Twilight turned the light back on, pulling a book on pregnancy for all creatures. She flicked through the pages, landing on the one labelled ‘Changelings’. She read the information silently. “That’s enough reading for now.” Twilight spoke after reading for about ten minutes, shutting the book once she was done. She put it back on the small shelf before turning the lights off once again and sheading her disguise. ~~~~~~~~~~ A few months later, Twilight woke up to the sound of a plate shattering. She darted up, instantly resuming her disguise. She turned her head and looked downstairs. Spike was standing in the centre of the library, a look of horror and disbelief on his little face, a smashed plate with a sandwich on it fallen on the ground. Twilight’s eye shrunk, realising Spike had discovered her. She quickly picked him up with her magic, rushing down the steps and opening the door to the basement, locking it behind her. “It’s not what you’re thinking, Spike!” She rapidly rambled, waving her hooves around in a panic. “Y-You’re a-a..” Spike stuttered, still in disbelief. “Changeling, I know.” She sighed, raising a hoof to her head before dropping her disguise. “It’s still me though! Just a little different…” She pointed to her flank where her cutie mark remained as she spoke, trailing off. “I don’t understand.” Spike spoke softly, looking down at his feet with his claws on his head. “When did this happen?” He looked back up at Twilight with sad eyes. Twilight started to grab Spike into a hug yet the baby dragon refused it, the look of betrayal on his face. “I don’t know how to explain it, Spike. My memory was foggy. I think I went to the Hive willingly. It just doesn’t feel right though. That was six month ago. I’m so sorry I didn’t come here sooner. I couldn’t if I wanted too. And I’m sorry I lied to you, Spike. I should have told you the instant I came back.” She tried to grabbed Spike into a hug once more, the baby dragon finally accepting it. They sat there in silence, hugging for a while until they could hear a knock on the door through the closed basement door. “I’ll get it.” Twilight spoke, resuming her disguise and opening the basement door. She trotted forward, opening the main door to the library. Applejack and Rainbow Dash stood outside together. “Hey girls.” Twilight greeted, faking a smile. “Mornin’, Twi. Rainbow and I, we were wonderin’ if you wanted to go fer a walk with us.” Applejack asked. Spike appeared behind Twilight, gripping onto her leg before tugging. “Hmm. Uh. No sorry. I’ve gotta do something today. But could you and the girls come over later? Maybe for a sleepover?” Twilight offered, looking down at Spike with slight worry. “Yeah. Sure! Cya later!” Rainbow Dash spoke before speeding off. Applejack nodded before trotting off as well, heading in the direction of her farm. Twilight closed the door before turning to Spike. She sighed, pressing herself against the door before sliding backwards against it. With a swirl of magic she lost her disguise. “What am I going to do Spike?” She sobbed, clutching her muzzle in her hooves. Spike moved forward before sitting down beside her. “I can’t go back to the Hive yet. I would have failed and in the four months I was there, I saw what happened to changelings that failed. Yet I can’t tell Celestia. I know Chrysalis did something to me. I don’t remember what but I will find out. I just need time.” She glanced down at her abdomen, the bulge larger than before. She looked back at Spike. “But I don’t have time. Spike, she put eggs in me…” “Wait what? I thought you said you got pregnant.” Spike began to yell but Twilight covered his mouth with a hoof. She removed it a moment later. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to yell.” “I lied. I’ve done a lot of lying recently. I know I need to tell the girls the truth.“ She stated, stamping a hoof onto the ground. “Twilight, do you remember the night you left? Like the night you vanished?” Spike asked, snuggling into a hug. “No. I don’t Spike. I don’t remember going to the Hive, yet I remember becoming a changeling.” She replied, placing a hoof across Spike’s shoulder. “Did it hurt? You know, becoming a changeling?” He spoke, leaning against Twilight’s hard chest. “No. Not really. Only it a little. It was actually kind of enjoyable for curtain reasons. Chrysalis turned me into a Proto-queen. She wants me to become the next Queen of the Changelings. Maybe she sent me here to test my loyalty, to see if I’ll come back once I give birth to these horrid eggs. I didn’t accept to them willingly, changelings have to do what their Queen says. It’s law. And I hate it.” She shuttered involuntarily as she spoke against Chrysalis. She heard something in her mind, an order to return to the Hive. She rose up from the ground with a sigh. “I need to go back to the Hive. I’ll be back soon, okay? J-Just don’t tell anyone yet.” “Oh okay.” Spike agreed quietly, Twilight stretched her hooves before giving her translucent wings a flap. She resumed her disguise before exiting the library and flying in the direction of the Hive. She flew through the Badlands until reaching the Hive. She nodded at the guard in front before entering. She warily trotted through the Hive, dropping her disguise as she went. She entered the throne room, bowing as she entered. Queen Chrysalis was sitting in her throne, talking with the changeling in charge of food stores. Chrysalis dismissed the changeling before speaking to Twilight. “You summoned me from my mission, my Queen?” Twilight spoke bitterly, avoid eye contact with Chrysalis. “How is your mission going? You haven’t been discovered have you?” Chrysalis asked, glaring down at her. Twilight shuffled her hooves. “It’s going fine. I’ve gathered enough love to sustain the Hive for at least a week and I have yet to be discovered.” She lied, although she hadn’t lied about the love part. Chrysalis stepped down from her throne, slowly walking towards Twilight. “Give me it.” She demanded, opening her mouth. Twilight nodded opening her own mouth before using her tongue to pull out a wad of sticky pink stuff which she began curling it into a ball. When the ball formed it looked like a glowing gumball. She dropped it into the Queen’s open mouth with a sicking squelch. Chrysalis licked her lips before speaking. “Good. Return until those eggs hatch. Until then, don’t return unless I order you too.” She declared. Twilight nodded before bowing and leaving the room. She ran towards the exit, resuming her disguise. The guard had left the Hive door open for her. She flew back to Ponyville, the sun setting in the sky. The moon had risen by the time she landed outside her home, completely out of breath. She opened the door with her magic, slamming it shut behind her. She let loose her disguise as soon as she shut the door. She froze when she saw her friends standing in front of her, looks of shock, surprise and anger across all of their faces, except for Spike of course. Fluttershy had instantly hidden behind Rarity who had lit her horn with sapphire coloured magic. Pinkie Pie held a cupcake in her hoof, whilst Rainbow Dash and Applejack moved forward, prepared to chase the changeling away, unaware it was Twilight. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don’t!” Spike shouted, running forward in front of Twilight with outstretched claws, blocking the girls from her. “Move Spike! That’s a freaking changeling!” Rainbow Dash shouted, pointing at Twilight. Twilight didn’t speak, she was too frightened to even move. “No! It’s Twilight! At least let her explain!” Spike snapped, a small puff of fire puffing out of his mouth. “Spike right. We should at least let her explain.” Fluttershy whispered, emerging from behind Rarity. “Well then, explain it, darling.” Rarity spoke, her horn dimming. Twilight took a deep breath before speaking. “I’m still me. I’m not some drone. I mean, I may be the same size as one but I’m as stupid as one. Guards are pretty smart. I mean they talk normally and have a better understanding of the world more than drones. But Drones do love to talk even if their Equestrian is a bit broken. Drones just dig or gather love.” She began rambling but quickly noticed, steering the conversation back to normal. “Woops. Well, I was transformed into a changeling by Chrysalis about nine month ago. I remember going to the Hive and begging her to change me, although it’s foggy and I’m not quite sure that memory is right but she did it to me anyway. S-She turned me into a Proto-queen. I-I’m so sorry. I was going to tell you tonight. I’m sorry.” Twilight sobbed, beginning to cry as she sat on the ground. She didn’t know why she was crying, changelings never felt emotions. It confused her just as much as the girls. The girls didn’t respond, some of them sat there in slight disbelief whilst the other came forward and hugged Twilight. “A-And now I’m stuck with her damn eggs.” She hiccupped, tears streaming down her face. “It’s okay, Twilight. She’s just a big meany.” Pinkie spoke, holding Twilight close. “S-She did it to me P-Pinkie. She made me have sex with her… more than once..” Twilight whimpered, her muzzle stained with tears as fresh ones continued to fall. “She what? Oh Twilight! That’s terrible!” Fluttershy shrieked, holding onto Twilight with Pinkie Pie. After a while, everyone joined the hug, holding Twilight as she cried and told them everything. “S-She keeps putting me in this trance, I don’t know how. I think it’s got something to do with the f-fact that I’m a changeling now. At first, I couldn’t remember what happened when I was in one until a while l-later when I could. I wanted her to do it, at least part of me d-did.” Twilight hissed through hiccups and crying. “I d-don’t know what to do anymore.” “You need to tell Princess Celestia at least.” Rarity replied, magically pulling a scroll forward. Twilight grabbed it with her own magic, now tinted with green. “But how?” She asked, looking at her friends. “Tell her the truth, Twi. Be honest.” Applejack said, placing a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder. She nodded, wiping her face with her hoof before picking up a quill with her magic, writing out the letter. She passed it to Spike ten minutes later, who sent it off to Celestia in a puff of smoke. She rubbed the tears off of her face again as new one had formed, holding the hug. Twilight felt her body absorbing the love coming from her friend and tore herself away from their grasp when she realized. “No. I can’t.. D-Dammit!” Twilight hissed, pulling her frills a bit like it was still hair. The girls just looked at her slightly confused as Twilight began talking to herself. “Can’t. No. But I want to. I need to. Can’t.” She kept speaking, repeating it over and over again. “Twilight! Calm down!” Rainbow Dash shouted, grabbing onto Twilight. Twilight flinched away. “I’ve been feeding off of your love.” Twilight’s voice was tiny and hushed, those words causing Dash to pull away. “It’s okay.” Fluttershy spoke, placing a hoof on her shoulder in a reassuring way. There was a flash and Spike burped up a letter, a reply. Twilight rushed forward crazily, grabbing the letter with her magic before reading it aloud. “Dear Twilight Sparkle, I’m coming over, blah blah, not going to send you to the moon, blah blah. Signed Princess Celestia.” She let loose a revealed sigh, collapsing on the floor with a small laugh before breaking out into a sob. She heard Chrysalis in her head, telling her something. “Get out of my head you snake!” Twilight whimpered, pulling at her frills again. She felt someone pulling her hooves away from her head. She looked up with tear stained eyes into Fluttershy’s own. Her other friends looking beyond. “Twilight? What are you talking about?” Fluttershy spoke softly, looking at her in worry. “She’s coming. They’re both coming.” She sobbed out in panic. > Chapter 4 - Two. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 – Two. Twilight slunk away as Fluttershy tried to hug her again, letting loose an abnormal hiss. “N-No..” She stuttered out, hiding in the dark corner of the library in panic. “S-She’s going to k-kill us all. She’s going to m-make me d-do it again. S-She’s-“ She whispered to herself, her crying never stopping. It seemed to drag on forever, the perpetual silence permeating the entire library. The only other sound was Twilight and her hysterics. By the time the sun had risen, there was a knocking on the door, breaking the silence. Someone opened the door, Twilight didn’t know who. She saw white hooves through her frills, flinching back into the darkness more. She bumped into the wall, feeling it with her right hoof. Through her frills, Twilight saw Celestia, her changeling heart beating rapidly in slight panic and fear. “Twilight, it’s okay.” Celestia spoke, placing a tender hoof onto Twilight’s shoulder. Twilight flinched back, causing Celestia to look at her with more worry. “It’s not okay. She’s coming.” Twilight spoke, eyes wide. She gripped onto the wall, clinging it to the other’s surprise. “She’s coming. She’ll kill us all. Changelings don’t fail. I failed. I’m dead. I’m doomed.” “Twilight-“ The Princess of the Sun spoke. The girls stood at the edge of the room in silence, watching the exchange. “I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear the ‘sorry this happened to you’ or the ‘sorry I didn’t help you sooner’!” Twilight snapped, her tongue flicking as she spoke. “You don’t know what I’ve been through! You don’t know what I’ve seen! You don’t know what she’s planning to do with me! You don’t know what she did to me! I hate you!” She shouted, tongue lashing in fury. She hissed loudly, slinking back further. Celestia looked at Twilight, a look of sadness in the alicorn’s eyes. Twilight’s ears suddenly perked up, her eyes shrinking. Ignoring the shouts of her friends and mentor, she climbed onto the ceiling, hiding in the darkness. She watched from her perch as Queen Chrysalis burst into the library, a group of changeling soldiers behind her. They all wore blue amour except for Chrysalis. The Queen strutted forward, maintaining eye contact with Celestia. “Why hello, Celestia.” She hissed, a smirk on her face. Celestia moved forward, holding her ground. The changelings behind her stalked forward, hissing and baring their fangs at the girls. They launched an attack, the girls and the changelings locking into battle with one another. Chrysalis fired a blast at Celestia, the Princess dodging it and returning the favour with her own blast of magic. It became a battle zone, the two rulers fighting each other. Books flew everywhere, ruined in the blasts of magic, scattering their pages around the room. Elsewhere, Twilight watched, battling her own mind once more. She pushed herself out of her spot, flying onto Celestia with a hiss, causing them both to tumble to the ground. Twilight stood up, standing in front of Celestia with fangs bared, Chrysalis right behind her. She had lost the battle once again. “Princess Twilight Sparkle! I know you’re in there, just remember who you are. Please, my little pony!” Celestia shouted, lighting her horn once more. Twilight stood still until Chrysalis moved forward, whispering something into the changeling’s ear. “Yes, My Queen. You are nothing it me!” Twilight hissed, moving forward whilst lighting her own horn. “You did nothing to help me! The Twilight you once knew is gone. I serve my Queen now not you!” She screamed, baring her fangs. They circled each other, Twilight hissing every once and a while. Celestia let of a beam of light at the same time Twilight released her own, the two beams connecting. Celestia locked eyes with Twilight, the Princess of the sun saw plead for unspoken help. Twilight disconnected the beam, Celestia’s hitting her in the horn. Twilight collapsed to the ground with a thump as Chrysalis hissed in frustration. ~~~~~~~~~~ “Twilight?! Twilight! Wake up!” A voice shouted into Twilight’s ear. Twilight opened her eyes, her vision foggy and warped. A hazy image of Fluttershy hung over her, making it seem like there were multiple ponies. Twilight shook her head, her vision clearing. She rose up, glancing around at her surroundings. Her friends were locked in combat with other changelings while Celestia was still battling against Chrysalis, the Queen almost pinning the Princess down. Twilight remembered. She remembered everything now. It was so clear. Twilight jumped up, flying towards Chrysalis before crashing into her, Celestia stumbling to the ground stunned. “YOU MOTHERBUCKER!” Twilight hissed. Ramming her horn into Chrysalis. “How dare you! You snake! Changing me into a monster is one thing, but changing my memories is just bucking insane!” Her voice was filled with venom. Twilight had the Queen of the Changelings pinned. The pair standing on up on both their back hooves, Twilight’s fore hoof pinning Chrysalis to the wooden wall behind her. “I should just kill you now. That’s what you taught me isn’t it? Drain them then kill them?” She laughed, a look of total insanity flashed across Twilight’s face, startling the changeling below her. “You don’t want to kill me, and I know it. You just want to serve your Queen.” Chrysalis spoke, a smirk still on her face. Twilight felt the sudden overwhelming urge to please her Queen again, her grip faltering. Twilight pulled back, almost in a daze as her own thoughts worked against her. The cycle was repeating itself. “I-I-I..” Twilight stuttered, moving further away from Chrysalis. She heard the command and had no choice but to obey. “Yes, my Queen.” She picked up Celestia with her magic, sticking her to the wall with changeling adhesive, her hooves in an X. She turned back to her friends, discovering that they were all stuck to the ground and walls with the same adhesive. Their mouths were all covered as well, the sap like glue covering their muzzles firmly. Rainbow Dash was pinned to the wall as well as AJ and Pinkie. Fluttershy and Rarity both stood on their hooves, Spike firmly glued down beside them. She watched as Celestia stirred from her sleep, the Princess looking startled and angry yet she remained silent. Twilight froze, feeling their stares. She could taste the betrayal and sadness they oozed. Chrysalis strutted forward, victorious. Sun light streamed through one of the broken windows, highlighting the Queen. She moved towards Twilight before stroking her like a pet. Twilight stared down at the floor, dazed. Twilight heard the muffled screams of her friends, snapping her out of her daze. She stared at Chrysalis with mix of anger and confusion. “Don’t you want your reward?” Chrysalis whispered into her ear. Twilight’s eye widened, her hooves beginning to feel wobbly. Twilight opened her mouth to speak but shut it close, looking downward once more. She wanted it so badly. The feeling, the pleasure. Twilight wanted it all. Chrysalis’s hoof traced along Twilight’s body until it reached her flank. Suddenly, the Queen took hold of Twilight, pulling her own body against Twilight’s. She locked mouths with Twilight, their tongues entwine in each other’s. She fell into Chrysalis’s trance once more, wanting nothing more than to please her Queen. They backed into the wall, Chrysalis pinned under Twilight as the young changeling returned the favour. Twilight moved a hoof forward, stroking Chrysalis’s number before allowing it to enter her marehood. Twilight groaned in pleasure as it entered her. Chrysalis smirked, thrusting in and out, avoiding the eggs already inside her. The screams behind them grew louder, Twilight ignored them as she continued to please her Queen. They swapped places, Twilight snapping her eyes open. She locked eyes with Celestia. Celestia was crying, tears streaming down the mare’s face as she watched the act. Twilight smiled wide, groaning in ecstasy as Chrysalis began thrusting harder. Twilight screamed a moment later, snapping out of the trance, attempting to push Chrysalis off but the Queen had already ensnared her. Her thick hooves holding tightly onto the resistant changeling below her. “Stop resisting. You know you’re enjoy this, worm.” Chrysalis cooed, trying to lure her back in. “NO!” She screamed, ramming her hoof into Chrysalis in sheer rage. But it didn’t do anything, it only made the Queen madder. Suddenly, Chrysalis was on top of her, pinning Twilight to the ground. Twilight wanted to struggle but Chrysalis forced Twilight to look at her with her magic. Twilight’s eyes glazed over as she was enraptured in the trance. “Do it to me again, my Queen.” Twilight begged, her lust emerging. Twilight groaned as Chrysalis inserted her member into her marehood once more, the young changeling lying sprawled on the wooden floor. Chrysalis plunged her deeper, releasing her Royal Jelly, filling Twilight to the brim. She moaned, loudly, swapping places with Chrysalis so she was on top. Twilight moved forwards and backwards rapidly, the appendage inside of her moving around. They swapped again, locking into a deep kiss, Chrysalis’s tongue going down the young changeling’s throat. They moaned into each other, groaning deeply as Twilight’s body released even more fluid. After what felt like hours, Chrysalis left the panting changeling on the ground, completely enraptured and oozing liquids onto the ground. “Get up.” She snapped at Twilight. Twilight rose slowly, lifting her head first before fully getting up. Chrysalis smiled wickedly, pulling Celestia off of the wall. The Princess’s horn was covered in the changeling goo, blocking her magic and her wings were glued to her body. She tossed Celestia roughly onto the ground, the mare’s body landing in front of Twilight. “Do it to her.” Chrysalis ordered, point at Celestia. Twilight moved forward, getting on top of Celestia. Twilight unleashed her own member, digging it deep into Celestia’s marehood as Celestia whimpered below Twilight. It went hard as Twilight felt herself reaching her own climax. Slippery fluids from Twilight’s marehood fell into Celestia. Twilight groaned, digging her cock deeper into Celestia until it entered the mare’s womb. Twilight released her own Royal Jelly into Celestia. It wasn’t strong enough to turn someone into a changeling but it would cause immense pain to whoever it was filled with. Twilight thrusted in and out, groaning and hissing in pleasure. Celestia tried to resist but Twilight locked their mouths together in a kiss, the mare below her completely enraptured in the kiss. Celestia moved forward, unwilling to break the kiss. Celestia groaned in pleasure, becoming enraptured in Twilight. They swapped places, Celestia grinding hard against Twilight. Celestia moved backwards, Twilight ending up on top of her as they both groaned in pleasure. Twilight pushed herself off after what seemed like forever, stumbling backwards as the trance melted away and Twilight realized what she had just done. Celestia lay on the ground in a heaped mess, bodily fluids leaking, stuck in a trance Twilight had forced upon her. Celestia began to scream in pain as the Royal Jelly began to take effect. Twilight looked at Chrysalis who stood in front of her, waiting for something. She flew forward, pinning the Queen to the wall, thrusting her horn into Chrysalis’s soft underbelly, this time, it pierced her. Her horn speared through Chrysalis, the Queen’s mouth agape in shock and slight betrayal. Her body fell to the ground once Twilight removed her horn, it now stained in green changeling blood. She heaved in and out, taking deep breathes, standing there whilst looking at what she had done. The other changelings stopped turning towards her. She felt a sudden surge of power inside of her, she felt her body burning. Twilight broke out into hysterics, collapsing to the ground once more before breaking out into heavy sobs. > Chapter 5 – Rebirth. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 – Rebirth. She lay on the ground, breathing heavily as she felt in insides burning. The pain was immense. She could hear Princess Celestia screaming as Twilight Sparkle’s eyes became foggy. She saw a black shadow pass her vision, followed by a yellow and pink pair. She wanted to curl up and die.  She felt something push itself out of her marehood, a dozen little things slipping out on the floor. She was giving birth to those cursed eggs inside her. She felt someone picking her up, Celestia’s screaming and everyone’s shouting overwhelming her. She closed her eyes. After what seemed hours, the fogginess cleared. Twilight opened her eyes to find that she was laying on her bed. She sat up, rubbing a hoof on her forehead. She looked down from her bed, seeing a group of changelings buzzing around a group of larva, a group of ponies watching nearby. It was night-time now, Twilight noted, looking out the window. She got up from her bed, pushing the sheets aside before flying down to figure out what was going on. When she landed downstairs, she noticed that only Fluttershy, Spike and Celestia remained in the room, sipping tea in the corner. “Princess Celestia. What are you still doing here?” Twilight spoke softly, hints of suspicion evident. Twilight moved forward, with each hoof step calculated. “I remained to make sure you were okay, my little pony.” Celestia responded, with a motherly voice. Twilight flinched back, eyes narrowing. She moved around Celestia to talk to Spike. “What else happened?” She questioned, leaning closely. Fluttershy remained silent, pouring herself another cup of tea. “You gave birth to those changelings. Quite suddenly actually. A-Are you okay, Twilight?” Spike replied in a hushed tone. Twilight wanted to curl up and die but that wouldn’t be the right thing to say. So instead, Twilight just mumbled a ‘yeah’, turning to the changelings.  “My Queen.” The closest changeling spoke, noticing her. It startled her at first until Twilight realized she had just killed the Queen. She was the successor, the Proto-queen. She looked at the larva then at the guards surrounding her. One of the larva was squirming towards her. Twilight picked up the larva with her magic, sitting down on the ground. She cradled the little creature in her hooves carefully as more began to crawl over her, getting into the holes in her hooves. She smiled. Perhaps she could do this.  She summoned the General of the Hive, who was in this small group, telepathically. A changeling guard who went by the name Thistle moved forward. He was large, about the size of a normal Big Mac. His left ear was shredded and he had a few scars dotting in black shell. He bowed to her before Twilight spoke. “General Thistle, come with me to speak to Princess Celestia.” Twilight spoke. The General nodded. Twilight passed the newborn to another changeling before she rose from the ground, the other larva falling out and landing softly onto the ground. She walked back over to Celestia, sitting down on a chair. General Thistle sat down next to her, looking at the Princess in front of him. Celestia nodded to Spike and Fluttershy who both left the room, heading towards the kitchen. There was a knock on the broken door before it opened and Princess Luna stepped inside. Luna entered silently, sitting down beside Celestia before speaking.  “Good Evening, Princess Twilight Sparkle or should I say Queen Twilight Sparkle and changeling. I have heard of thy horrid news.” Luna spoke solemnly. She still spoke in old Equestrian which sometimes confused Twilight yet the Princess of the night seemed to be using more modern vocabulary than she did prior. Twilight crossed her hooves before speaking. “I don’t want to bring up what happened.” She hissed, tongue flicking as she spoke. She felt ashamed that she had fallen for Chrysalis’s ploys again, that she did what she did to Celestia. It sickened her. But it also seemed to please the changeling, knowing that Celestia was getting weak in her old age. Something about that thought told Twilight something was wrong but she decided to ignore it. She took a deep breath, placing her fore hooves onto the table in front of her. “I don’t know what to do anymore.” She groaned, slamming her head onto the table. The changeling beside Twilight just sat there, feeling awkward.  “Why don’t thy tell us what occurred for the beginning.” Luna spoke. Twilight lifted her head, nodding.  “It happened nine months ago. Chrysalis kidnapped me in the middle of the night, taking me back to the Hive. She held me in one of the lower chambers, chained and restrained with changeling resin. Changeling resin is extremely strong, we use it for building. I’m getting off track aren’t I?” She chuckled grimly before resuming her tale. “She came in and started to talk about how she was going to turn me into a changeling. She bit me in the shoulder, paralysing my body. She encased me into a cocoon before she took over my mind, putting me in that cursed trance. She made me have sex with her it’s the only way to make a changeling out of a pony. ”The Queen has to fill the pony with Royal Jelly while they’re in a cocoon. I woke up in the cocoon later before I broke out of it. She was there again. She ordered one of the guards to escort me to my new chambers. She then ordered me to come to her chambers where she made me she asked me what I thought of you, Celestia. I gave her my answer. “She slapped me across the muzzle when my answer didn’t please her. She then put me into another trance, this time, altering some of my memories. Afterwards she asked me some more questions, I didn’t remember anything before then. I wanted to please her. I asked her to have sex with me.” Twilight smiled faintly at the memory, the Princesses besides her listening in disgust. “She filled me with her eggs before. She left me in my chambers. The next day, she came into my chambers and did it again, she had sex with me again and again. Every day.” She stopped for a moment, allowing Thistle to speak as she sighed once more. She placed her head against the wooden table once more, just listening. “My name is General Thistle. I have lived in the Hive for many years. I was part of the attack on Canterlot. After the failed attack, we were all plunged into starvation. Many of our elders died and only the guards and Chrysalis got to consume any love, leaving the scraps to everyone else. It was a horrid time. Chrysalis punished all those who failed by killing or torturing them. My brood mother and many of my siblings died during that time. We were living off of the bare minimum until our new Queen was taken.” Thistle recounted, looking sorrowful and angry. Twilight rose her head, prepared to speak again. “I was still half of a pony. For three months until I completely became a changeling. It was a process. She used that to feed herself and the Hive a little. I was sent after four months of being in the Hive to Ponyville, in my old form, to get love.” Twilight’s eyes were alight with emotion, she sat there with an air of confidence. “Which brings us almost up to speed. Even though I hate Chrysalis for turning me into this, I have to do something. They’re still my subjects.”  ~~~~~~~~~~ Celestia had sat there the entire time in silence, so had Luna. She hadn’t known the full extend to what had happened to Twilight. Celestia felt a pang of guilt in the fact she had done nothing to find or help Twilight. She had read the note that was left, ignoring the red flags that cost her so dearly. She had watched how Twilight had handled the small larva before and how Twilight held herself now, even with the pain of the torture she had been through. She understood what had happened to these creatures, forced to live under a tyrannical rule either dying at Chrysalis’s hooves or of starvation.  She turned to her sister with a look of guilt on her face. Luna nodded to the silent question. “Twilight, you can keep the changelings here. I hope our two kingdoms can enter a time of peace.” Celestia spoke, almost as if she was addressing a diplomat from another country. Twilight looked surprise, almost as if she hadn’t thought of it nor did she expect it. General Thistle also looked startled. “There hasn’t been peace between our kinds for over a century. Our elders told stories of a time before our pain and suffering.” Thistle hissed. Twilight glanced around the library. Many of the books were ruined, one of the windows was shattered and there were scotch marks as well as a few unpleasant fluids on the ground.  “We’ll have to rebuild the library. The entry to the Hive can be from the basement and we can build it underground. I can see how this can work. Yet it will be difficult transporting the young. Hmm.” Twilight rambled to herself as she pondered the idea. She turned back to the Princesses. “We will settle here. On the condition that we are allow to collect and gather love as long as we don’t harm anypony.” Twilight held out a hoof. Celestia looked at Twilight who was surprisingly calm. “As long as you’re not harming anypony.” Celestia shook it, agreeing to the terms. Luna nodded as well. Celestia rose from her seat, Luna following close behind. Celestia walked to the door, glancing back at Twilight before she left. “Good luck, my student.” She spoke softly, watching Twilight lifting up another larva with her magic.  > Chapter 6 - New Beginnings. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 – New Beginnings. Twilight had sent one of the guards to the Hive immediately after the Princesses left, lifting one of the larva up with her magic. She suddenly remember that Fluttershy and Spike were in the kitchen. She trotted to the kitchen, the larva coming with her. Fluttershy was sitting at the kitchen bench with Spike, a plate of sandwiches and tea placed in front of them.  “Fluttershy? Spike?” Twilight spoke, startling the yellow mare. The mare’s wings flew upwards in surprise. “Oh! It’s just you Twilight! You startled me.” Fluttershy meekly said, her checks turning red.  “I feel like I need to tell someone what just happened.” Twilight sighed, sitting on a stool. She placed the larva on the top of her head where it just sat. “So, I’m the Queen of the changelings now and they’re all moving into my basement.” She chuckled out, it almost sounding like a joke. Almost. “Wait so I have to move my comics out of the basement again?” Spike groaned, slightly upset.  “Sorry Spike. You can keep them in my room if you want.” Twilight grabbed Spike into a motherly hug.  “Yeah, okay..” He agreed, a faint smile on his face. He squirmed out of Twilight’s grasp before running off, presumably to move his comics. Twilight used her magic to pull out a cup from the cabinet nearby, lifting the teapot that was filled with tea leaves before pouring it into the cup. She lifted it up to her muzzle, sipping on it. She sighed a movement later, gripping her head while looking down at the bench. Twilight felt a hoof on her shoulder. She raised her head to see Fluttershy looking at her with worry.  “You okay?” She asked softly, looking at her tenderly. Twilight shook her head silently. Fluttershy grabbed Twilight into another hug. There had been so many hugs recently. It seemed to be a good way of apologising. Or perhaps a way of comfort. “Ponies still hate changelings. My changelings won’t be safe until there accepted. But were not supposed to live around ponies, were isolated creatures. Ponies are still considered just a food source to some of my subjects. These new larva,” She levitated the larva down from her head onto her lap. “They’re what going to change everything.”  “Could I hold it?” Fluttershy asked, pointing a hoof at the larva. Twilight nodded, passing it gently to Fluttershy. The yellow mare smiled, holding the fragile changeling in her hooves.  “TWILIGHT!” A muffled shout came from the next room. Twilight shot upwards, rushing into the next room. Spike was holding the broken door open. Twilight saw many black figures. Her changelings. They were all bathed in the early morning sun as it rose in the distance. “Let them in Spike.” Twilight spoke, the baby dragon nodded. A large group of changelings entered the small library. “Right, Tunnelers to the basement, Guards and Builders repair the rest of the library. Drones and Brood mothers look after the larva which will currently be placed in my room up there.” She pointed up to her small loft where a small group of changelings already were. “Anyone else can help with tunnelling. I also want all the heads of each department to meet me at my dining table now.” The changelings all nodded, heading off to their assigned area. Spike tapped Twilight on the side, the changeling Queen turning towards him. “You’ve got a letter by the way.” He stated, holding out a claw with a rolled up piece of parchment. Twilight gripped it with her magic quickly reading it out loud.  “’Dear Twilight Sparkle, you and a pair of changelings are invited to a diplomatic discussion over your settlement in Ponyville over in Canterlot later today, be here soon. Signed Princess Celesta.’ What does that mean?! Augh!” Twilight exclaimed, tossing the letter to floor. Twilight turned towards the corner of the room, startling herself as she remembered a group of changelings were sitting at her dining table. The heads of the departments. Right. She trotted over and sat down, Spike sitting next to her. “Right. So umm. I’ll need your names and what you do in your department. Spike, take notes please.”  “General Thistle, in charge of Guards.” Thistle spoke, sitting up straight and posed. The next changeling beside him was a female with a really light blue chitin.  “I’m Snowflake. I’m in charge of the Nursery.” She spoke timidly, occasionally glancing up at the loft. The changeling beside her was a pure black changeling. “I’m Shadow, I’m in charge of love collection, storage” He hissed, clearly not wanting to be here.  “Oh stop brooding, Shadow.” The changeling next to him snapped. “Shut up Thorax. You dammed tunneler!” Shadow yelled at the changeling known as Thorax. Thorax hit Shadow in the muzzle, causing a miniature brawl to break out. “ENOUGH!” With a blast of magic, levitating them both, she shouted. Twilight glared at them with a large amount of rage and venom.  “Sorry, my Queen.” They both grumbled, avoiding eye contact. She dropped them onto the ground, Thorax lifted himself up before speaking.  “My name’s Thorax as you now, I’m in charge of tunnelling.” Thorax spoke, the changeling beside Thorax waved her hoof in sign language. “My sister, Lace, was born mute. She’s saying that she is in charge of building.” Twilight stayed silent for a moment, deciding who to bring with her to Canterlot. She couldn’t bring Lace because it would be useless to bring someone without a voice. She couldn’t bring Snowflake because she had to attend to the larva. She didn’t want to bring Shadow because he need to gather love. That left Thorax and General Thistle.  “General Thistle, Thorax. You both will be escorting me to Canterlot today. There’s a meeting on the terms of our settlement in Ponyville. We leave soon.” Twilight stated, rising from her seat. She trotted away without hearing what they had to say. She needed a pick-me-up. She put on the disguise of her old pony form before exiting the library.  She walked down the dusty dirt road of Ponyville with an elongated sigh. She spotted Sugar Cube Corner and walked towards it. She pushed the door of Sugar Cube Corner open as the little bell over the door rang. Twilight trotted up to the counter, Pinkie Pie already situated there. “Morning Pinkie. I’ll get a small coffee and a breakfast muffin.” She spoke, looking at the display in front of her.  “Oki-dokie-loki! I’ll get that ready lick-a-dey split!” The pink colour mare shouted. “Take a seat too!” Twilight nodded, seating herself. There was only two other ponies in the café, a brown earth pony with a long scarf and the mare known as Derpy Hooves, both sitting at a small table further away. Twilight picked up the new paper in front of her, browsing the piece of paper. One of the titles caught Twilight’s attention. ‘Princess of Friendship, Changeling?’ the title suggested. Twilight felt her stomach drop. They had noticed. She began to daze off, thinking about that article and her actions. Twilight snapped out of it when Pinkie arrived with her breakfast. A muffin with a portable form cup of coffee. Changelings didn’t need food to survive. Changelings only really ate when under a disguise. Twilight missed the feeling off a full stomach. She hadn’t feed off anyone recently. She had just given it all recently to the larva she birthed.  “Thanks Pinkie.” She said with a smile before the pink mare left. Twilight took a bite of her muffin, flicking through a few more pages. There was a ding and the door swung open. Twilight glanced upwards, looking at the pony who entered. Rainbow Dash entered, the CMC following behind. The group of fillies ran off to the corner, Rainbow Dash walking up to the counter to order something. Twilight watched as Dash noticed her, the blue pegasus’s wings stiffing. After ordering, Rainbow Dash trotted over to Twilight. “Hello Rainbow Dash.” Twilight greeted, looking at her friend with a faint smile.  “Uhh hey, Twi… “ Dash awkwardly spoke, rubbing her hoof across the back of her neck.  “Rainbow Dash, I don’t want you thinking of me in that way. I hope we can amend our relationship.” Twilight stated, looking at Rainbow with a hint of guilt. Twilight glanced up at the clock on the wall, realising how long it had been since she had left the library. “I’ve got to go.” Twilight pulled out a few bits, putting it down on the table. She grabbed her muffin and coffee with her magic, running out of the café, shouting a goodbye to Pinkie and Rainbow Dash as she left. She rushed down the dirt road, skidding around a corner until she arrived back at the library.  General Thistle and Thorax were both standing out the front, disguised as pegasus guards. “Sorry! I wanted to go get something and lost track of time.” She apologized, huffing in and out as she stood there. “It’s alright, my Queen. Things happen.” General Thistle spoke stiffly. Twilight nodded, finishing her muffin before stretching her wings and lifting off into the air. The two changelings followed behind her as they flew in the direction of Canterlot. Twilight sipped her coffee as they flew over forests, passing the train tracks below.  She saw the pin prick of Canterlot in the distance, stopping for a moment when she noticed the large pink bubble of magic surrounding the capital city. She resumed her path a moment later. With gentle hooves, they landed just outside the boundaries of Canterlot minutes later. Two guards, a unicorn and earth pony, stood outside. They bowed as she approached.  “Princess Twilight.” The unicorn stallion spoke, nodding in respect. “Open the shield!” His companion spoke a moment later, an entry way opening. Twilight nodded, strolling in like everything was normal. There were no alarms blaring nor where there any guards swarming towards them. She trotted down the streets of Canterlot, her ears picking up snippets of conversations. She had grown up in the streets of Canterlot, the spiralling palace in the distance another place she had lived once upon a time. Her hooves clopped against the cobblestone ground, cafes, fancy shops and residential buildings lining the street, mostly with trims of gold or white. They maintained a peaceful silence the whole walk until they arrive at the palace.  She entered with her changeling guards without another pony raising a hoof in protest. She walked down the carpeted hallway, windows lining every side. She walked past the stained glass windows depicting her and her friends, finally entering the throne room a moment later.  When she entered, Princess Celestia was sitting on her throne, Luna and Cadance sitting on either side. Each Princess had their own stack of paperwork that was piled in front of them.  “Ahem.” Twilight coughed loudly, gaining their attention. Instantly, their ears perked up and they all rose from their seats, rushing over to Twilight.   “Good morning, Twilight! ‘Tis not a good day for a meeting is it not?” Luna spoke, quite loudly. She smiled at Twilight. Cadance gave Twilight a quick hug before Celestia stepped forward. “We have much to attend to. Follow me.” Celestia spoke, walking out of the throne room and down the hallway. Luna followed after her sister, Cadance and Twilight following behind. “Auntie’s been doing paper work all morning.” Cadance mentioned.  “Shining is already in the meeting room.” Their hooves clopped against the ground, echoing down the empty hallway. Twilight’s guards followed close behind, not leaving her for a moment. “Shinning is here?” Twilight squeaked out, suddenly excited to see her brother. Although, something nagged her. How would he react? For all she knew, Shinning and Cadance hadn’t been told. Or had they? Twilight frowned as they entered the meeting room, Luna locking the door with magic once everyone was inside. It was a stark white room with a large metal table surrounded by metal chairs. Twilight’s older brother, Shining Armour, was already seated at the right side of the large table. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance all sat on the side that Shinning was sitting at. Twilight sat down opposite them, her two changelings sitting beside her. She felt the butterflies in her stomach flutter around as she sat nervously there, shifting her hooves back and forth every once and a while. “Why are they here?” Shinning asked, pointing at the two changelings in disguise. Twilight sighed, it was going to be a long meeting.  “I’ll answer that later. First things first, do they know Princess Celestia?” Twilight stated, looking at her mentor. Celestia shook her head, much to the confusion of Shinning and Cadance. Luna seemed to be locked in a staring contest with Thistle who sat on Twilight’s right. Twilight ignored it. She let loose another sigh. “Okay. So don’t freak out. But…” Twilight squeaked out, nervous. She closed her eyes before she let loose her disguise. She heard Cadance scream and Shinning shouting. There was the loud sound of chairs falling over and hooves on metal. She opened her eyes to see Shinning being restrained by Thistle. He had shed his disguise and had pinned Twilight’s brother to the table. “THISTLE! LET HIM GO!” Twilight hissed, angrily pointing at the General. General Thistle slunk back, releasing the stallion off the table and onto the ground before sitting back down. “Apologies, My Queen.” He spoke timidly, setting back down in his chair after picking it up from the ground. “What?! How?!” Cadance rapidly spoke, lurching over the table while grabbing Twilight by her neck. Cadance was crying, tears dripping down the mare’s muzzle. Twilight could taste the sadness, fear and anger that radiated from her.  “It’s complicated.” Twilight stated, expressionless for a moment. “Do you want the short version or the long version?” Cadance remained silent. “Just give us the short version, Twiliy.” Shinning spoke, sitting back into his chair. He was now sporting a gash on his check. A minor one. Cadance released her grip, Twilight rising from her seat before trotting around in a circle. “Well, I was kidnapped and turned into a changeling before I killed Chrysalis. Did I mention I’m the Queen of the Changelings now? It seems so funny to me right now. I mean, I was a prisoner and somehow I ended up on top. I mean, from a logically stand point, there could be so many flaws in doing that. For example, the prisoner could basically just like escape if they were given ANY kind of power. Wait am I rambling again?” Twilight just kept ranting, moments later looking up with a sheepish grin. “Uh, right anyway. This is General Thistle and Thorax.” She motioned to the other two changelings, Thorax finally dispelling his disguise. They sat back down, the four ponies in the room completely confused other than Celestia for some reason. “How are the plans for tunnelling going?” Celestia asked. Twilight’s ears perked.  “Well. Thorax here is in charge of tunnelling actually.” She mentioned, nodding that he could speak. “The tunnelling has been going well, we’ve already begun building a Nursery for our young and we are avoiding the major pipelines as well.” The small changeling spoke quietly.  “Trust me. No pony wants a flooded tunnel.” Twilight commented, waving her hoof around. “Anyway, why did you really call me here, Princess Celestia?” She eyed the white alicorn with slight suspension. “It certainly can’t be because of the tunnelling.” “We need you to sign a peace treaty and to announce your new title to the rest of Equestria.” It was Cadance rather than Celestia who spoke. Shinning pushed a piece of paper and a quill forward. So they had been told a few things. Twilight looked at the document with slight suspicion. She lifted it up to her muzzle with her magic before lowering it down a moment later.  “Give me a minute.” She turned to away from them before closing her eyes and speaking into the hive mind that connected her to her changelings.   ‘What should I do?’ She asked, her voice echoing around her mind. There were fragments of thoughts and ideas, all buzzing around among her own thoughts. The closest voices belonged to Thistle and Thorax, a dozen others a bit further away.  “You must sign it. There is no other way that they will let us live in peace otherwise. The only reason that they are doing this is because you are in power, My Queen. They would of killed us all by now if we tried this before.” Thistle told her. She nodded in reply before snapping her eyes open, the feeling of hatred filling her.  She tried to hide it as she took a deep breath. She turned around and noticed that they were all staring at her other than Thorax and Thistle. Cadance and Shinning had left. She took a deep breath before lifting the quill with her magic. > Chapter 7 - Changeling Queen. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 – Changeling Queen. With a swish of her magic she signed it, dragging theY pen across the parchment. She glanced upwards at the two royals in front of her with sudden resentment.  “There. Done.” She hissed, pushing the contract forward.  “Great. Thy will present thyself in front of Equestria tomorrow morning. Celestia will escort thy to thy room where thy will stay until tomorrow.” Luna said with a smile, lifting the parchment up with her magic before exiting the room, leaving Celestia behind with Twilight and her changelings.  “Twilight-“ Celestia began but Twilight interrupted her by slamming a hoof against the table with a loud clank.  “I don’t want to hear it. You still view Changelings as a threat despite me. You would of killed any one of them the moment they stepped hoof in Canterlot. Don’t lie to me.” She snapped, leaning on her fore hooves against the metal table whilst standing upwards. The chair she was sitting on cluttered to the ground with a heavy clank.  Twilight was angry. “One wrong hoof step and I will not hesitate to attack, treaty or no treaty. I may be nothing like Chrysalis but she was the one that changed me into what I am. Not you. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to go to my assigned room.” With her muzzle shut tightly, Celestia rose from her seat. Twilight opened the door, taking her disguise, her changelings besides her doing the same. Celestia lead the small group down the winding hallways until they reached a door with stars carved in the door. Twilight pushed the door open, stepping inside with a slight smile. Celestia left without another word, leaving Twilight and her changelings alone. ~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight Sparkle rose from her seat, lowering the book that was hanging open in her magic back onto the shelf in nearby. It was almost sunset, the sun low in the sky. Twilight felt an urge. A difficult one to please at that. She turned her head to look at General Thistle who stood near the door, peaking out of it every once and a while. Thorax was sitting nearby, reading a simpler book. She felt herself purr, her voice making a deep noise. “Thistle. Go outside would you?” She commanded without looking at him. Twilight heard the door open and then close. “Thorax, put that book down.” Thorax looked at Twilight before lowering the book onto the table nearby. She rose from her seat, moving closer to Thorax. “Have you ever…. “ Twilight began to ask, biting her lip mid-sentence. “Had the chance to please your Queen before?”  Twilight traced her hoof across the young changeling’s chest until she reached his lower area.  “N-No.. My Queen.” He replied, stuttering over his words. Twilight licked her lips, leaning close against Thorax.  “Well, let me do the honour of making it your first.” She replied with a seductive voice. She pushed her muzzle against his, locking lips together. She snaked her tongue around his mouth, entwining her own with his. She broke the kissing, rising up before getting her head lower under her mouth was equal to his number. She pursed her mouth around it, licking it with her tongue.  He groaned above her, letting loose a shutter of pleasure. “Yes. You like that don’t you?” She wrapped her long tongue around it, keeping it firmly in place as she began to swallow it further down her throat. All the while, Thorax groan above, beginning to reach his climax. She removed her mouth, letting go of his cock before rising back up and sitting firmly on him. Twilight wrapped her hooves around him, perching her marehood above his number.  They locked mouths again, kissing. He began to thrust forward eager to please her. She groaned, removing her mouth and kissing him along the neck. “Fill me with it, you pathetic drone!” She commanded, stroking his chest.  “Anything. Anything for you, My Queen.” He panted out, groaning loudly. She felt herself reaching her own climax as he released his load, the white liquid filling her body as she groaned in ecstasy. After what seemed like hours of pleasure, Twilight removed herself from him. Twilight smiled.  She blinked a few times before realizing what she had just done. But she didn’t regret it. Not one bit. ~~~~~~~~~~ Thorax was awakened by the sounds of Twilight unlatching the window. It was wide open as she turned to him. She was in her pony disguise, wings wide open. Her mane was dishevels and the feathers of her disguise were strewn everywhere. Where was Thistle? Thorax thought, taking a step forward. ’Don’t!’ He shouted at her.  ‘I’m going to go help.’ Twilight told him telepathically. She flew out of the window backwards, spreading her wings out as she flew into the night.  ~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight glided over the wall surrounding the castle, hovering over the dimly lit streets of Canterlot. She heard the screams of help in her head becoming louder. She landed in a dark alleyway, loose feathers falling to the ground. She lit her horn with her magic, peering into the darkness. Twilight felt her heart sink as she looked at the bloody figure on the cobblestone ground in front of her. It was a changeling. Their legs were bent and their shell was broken open, green blood spilling onto the ground.  Without thinking, Twilight lifted them onto her back with her magic, running back towards the palace. She ran through the gold gates, ignoring the shouts of the guards. She kept running until she reached the throne room. Luna was doing her shift. She ran inside, shouting her lungs off.  “PRINCESS LUNA! I NEED HELP!” She screamed, the princess of the night becoming startled. Luna rushed down from the throne to see what was going on. Twilight lowered the wounded changeling onto the ground, sheading her own disguise. Thorax and Thistle burst into the room, without disguise and a fleet of guards behind them.  “Blueberry!” Thistle exclaimed, stumbling backwards in shock. Thistle reeled back in shock as well. “What do I do?!” Twilight screamed, tears welling in shock. The guards looked shocked, unsure what to do. Luna just stood there, frozen, as Twilight began to hold the changeling close. The changeling open their eyes, locking them with Twilight.  “M-my Queen.. I heard news of.. you… “ The changeling rasped out, it was a she. “Thank you… I’m glad.. I got to meet you before.. I died.. “  “No. Don’t say that. Anything but that. You’re not going to die. S-Some get Candace. N-Now!” Twilight shouted, tears falling down her muzzle. The changeling known as Blueberry closed her eyes, smiling. She was dying. Twilight saw pink in the corner of her eye and turned towards Cadance. Cadance moved forward, kneeling beside Twilight. “Use your magic! We heal off of love!” Twilight snapped.  The pink princess lit her horn, magic emanating from it. Love. Twilight could taste it. The changeling known as Blueberry opened her eyes as her hooves began to heal and the gash on her side closed. Cadance was helping to save her. Blueberry fell asleep, her chest rising softly. Twilight looked at Cadance, the alicorn dispersing the magic. “Thank you.” She whispered softly.  Twilight suddenly realized that other ponies were here. Her cheeks turned red as she looked at the group of guards that had formed in the doorway. Luna was nowhere to be seen either. ~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight trotted forward, standing on the high up balcony beside the other four rulers of Equestria with her disguise. An ornate black crown with three points with an amethyst on each end sat her head. She took a deep breath as she looked down at the ponies gathered below. “Ponies of Equestria!” Celestia exclaimed, standing further ahead than the others. “I am here to make an announcement that could change Equestria for the better.” Cameras flashed from below, bathing them in rapid lights every once and a while. “Presenting, Queen Twilight Sparkle of the Changelings!” She announced, Twilight moving forward.  There were whispers of confusing, ponies exchanging worried and confused looks. Twilight closed her eyes and took a deep breath before dispelling her disguise in front of over a thousand ponies. She heard screaming and yelling, the sounds of rapid flashing going off one after another. She opened her eyes and peaked at the gathering below. There was a sudden scream as a unicorn mare jolted away from a changeling who had dispelled their own disguise. It was like a cannon, one after the other, changelings revealed themselves. “Please! Everypony calm down!” Twilight shouted, looking down at the crowd. They all stared up at her. She felt their glazes as they looked at her. She didn’t know what to do. > Chapter 8 - The Shadow. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8 - The Shadow Twilight Sparkle lifted her head, sleep caking her eyelids. She let loose a groan as she stirred from her sleep. The young changeling glanced around her surroundings with foggy eyes. And then she saw it. A looming black figure in the corner of the room. She darted from her position, pinning herself against the wall. The windows still shone with starlight. The moon was still up. Was this a dream? Twilight thought. The figure strutted out of the shadows, long, black hole-ridden legs stepped forwards, clicking against the wooden floor. A curled and jagged horn followed next and then a black muzzle. Finally, Queen Chrysalis emerged, a frown on her muzzle. Twilight felt her heart in her throat, it beating faster than Rainbow Dash could fly. “W-W-What?! You suppose to be.. dead.” Twilight choked out, stuttering on her words.  “And you were supposed to listen, grub.” The dead Queen hissed, baring her sharp fangs. Chrysalis strutted forward, circling around Twilight. She snaked her tail across the young changeling’s back, causing Twilight to shiver. “I shall tell you once. And one time only. You cannot get rid of me that easily and I will always be there to tell you what to do.” Chrysalis firmly stated.  “What do you mean?” Twilight asked, her voice a measly whisper. Chrysalis smiled, leaning closer until the only thing Twilight could see was Chrysalis’s snake-like eyes. “Because I am you.” She hissed.  ~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight jolted awake for the second time in a row, scrapping her hoof across her frills in a panic. Her dream was still fresh in her mind. She felt a shiver down her spine, the feeling of being watched following her. “It's just a dream. It's just a dream. She's dead. Defiantly dead. She has been for a week.” Twilight muttered to herself as looked out the window, seeing the sun rising on the distance. She trotted down the oak steps and entered her bathroom. She glanced into the mirror and recoiled in fright. Her eyes weren't lavender anymore. They were tinted green. She felt her breath lodged in her throat, her body unwilling to respond. She wanted to scream, or at least move, yet she couldn’t. She was frozen in place for who knows how long, staring at her odd reflection in fear of her nightmare. She heard a voice behind her and screamed, knocking over a glass vase that had been sitting by the sink. ~~~~~~~~~~  Spike heard the shattering sound of screaming and of glass breaking. He ran into the bathroom in worry, glancing around for any indications of danger. “Twilight? Are you okay? What happened?” He asked, slowly moving forward toward the cowering changeling. Twilight had rammed herself into the corner of the bathroom beside the bathtub. There was shattered glass across the wooden floor. Her breathing was ragged as tears fell down her cheeks. Spike moved forward, clutching the larger changeling in a hug. “Hey. It’s okay, Twilight.” Spike said, trying to comfort her. “No.. it’s not, Spike.” Twilight quietly sobbed out.  “It’s okay, Twilight. Trust me. Nothing is going to hurt you, you hear me?” Spike stated, his hug getting tighter. “Not if I have something to say about it!” He puffed out his chest, causing Twilight to let loose a small snicker, a grin beginning to appear on her muzzle. She sighed, leaning her head against the wall.  ~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight rose from her spot, trotting out behind Spike. The young dragon ran out of the door in a hurry, leaving the changeling queen behind. She walking into the kitchen, opening the nearby cabinet with her magic before pulling out a simple apple. She sat down at the bench and rapidly ate her apple. She rubbed her eyes for a moment before looking out the small window on the other side of the room before she froze.
