- "There is no revenge you can ever conceive of that will come close to what I will exact upon you one day, Starlight Glimmer!"
- >You back step to the ledge of the newly destroyed hive, your mane and thin translucent wings fluttering in the wind.
- >They all stare at you with malice in their eyes.
- >All of them... even your-
- >You can take it anymore.
- >You hurl yourself off the the edge.
- >The wind blows against your face as you plummet downwards from the spire.
- >It took centuries to build this hive for you and your subjects.
- >It was blown apart in mere seconds.
- >Your magic throne protected your kind for generations.
- >It lies blasted to ruins, never to be whole again.
- >You continue to plummet.
- >There is nothing left for you now.
- >Revenge against Starlight Glimmer?
- >Whats the point...
- >Everything you loved and held dear in life is now gone.
- >Tears begin to pour from your eyes as the ground comes closer and closer.
- >The wind quickly blows each tear droplet off from your face.
- >You had done it!
- >You had acquired a way to provide love for your hive for hundreds of years!
- >You had won!
- >And this is how your triumph was rewarded.
- >The ultimate betrayal... by your own-
- >You close your eyes.
- >You feel two sets of hooves grab hold of you.
- >You open your eyes.
- >A yellow changeling with bright orange eyes flies to the left of you, while a green changeling with dark blue eyes flies to your right.
- >Their wings flap wildly as they attempt to slow your plummet.
- "What are you..."
- >Focusing on flying, they struggle to look at you as you speak to them.
- "What... WHAT do you ungrateful swine think you are doing!"
- >You spread your wings.
- >The wind catches beneath them, quickly halting your descent.
- >You forcefully shrug off the two changelings holding onto you.
- >You begin to quickly fly forward, leaving the colorful changelings behind you.
- >You are just a short distance above the ground, flying as fast your wings can carry you.
- >Darting forward, you set your eyes upon the horizon.
- "To Tartarus with them! I don't need them! I don't need any of them!"
- >Several minutes pass, you continue to fly.
- >You dare not look back, you can not take the withstand one more look at that cursed place or your cursed subjects.
- >On and on you fly.
- >It begins to grow dark.
- >Your wings begin to tire.
- >You look for cover in the barren lands of what used to be your kingdom.
- >Off in the distance you see an cliffface with a large overhanging rock.
- >You swoop down.
- >Tired from your exhaustive fly, your wings begin to falter as you near the ground.
- >Bracing for the impact, you extend your front hooves forward as you land.
- >You begin to tumble, your body rolling against the ground.
- >Your feel multiple sharp pains as your chitin scratches against the sharp rocks protruding from the ground.
- >After tumbling a short distance, you body finally stops.
- >Taking a moment to catch your breath, you just lie there.
- >You body aches. Your wings sting. Your legs-
- >You look down
- >Your legs are littered with several small cuts and scrapes.
- >A small amount of green blood begins to pour out.
- >Your chitin
- >Just minutes ago it was finally polished. Shiny and proud.
- >Now it is rugged, worn, ruined...
- >Staring at your tattered limbs, tears begin to fall down your face.
- "Cursed rocks! Cursed wings! Cursed..."
- >You tone changes from anger to sorrow as you look off into the horizon.
- >The changeling hive stands visible in the distance.
- >You squint your eyes from the incoming rays of the setting sun.
- "How could this happen."
- >Tears begin to drip down the black chitin of your face onto the cold, stone ground.
- "Everything went according to plan. We captured all the Equestrian Royalty. We won!"
- >The sun slowly begins to set.
- "This day was..."
- >The changeling hive begins to get harder to see through the blurred vision of your tears.
- "/This day was going to be perfect, the kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small./"
- "/But instead having joy, from ponies being captured in my ploy, I was cast from my hive like I was nothing to them at all/"
- "/This day was going to be-/"
- >You halt your singing as you hear the faint noise of buzzing off in the distance.
- "Thorax..."
- >They are coming for you. They are here to end this once and for all.
- >You mind spins.
- >Should you try to hide? Turn into a rock?
- >...NO
- >You quickly get up upon your sore, wounded legs.
- >The buzzing begins to grow louder and louder.
- >If Thorax wants to rule, he can have it, but not with out a fight!
- >Your horn begins to glow bright green as you begin to charge a spell.
- >The buzzing grows louder and louder.
- >Two changelings erupt from over a ridge.
- "YOU SHALL KNOW NOW MERCY, TRAITOROUS SCUM!"
- >You let loose a bolt of green magic at the two drones.
- >They quickly scurry out of its path and fly back behind the ridge from which they came.
- "THAT'S RIGHT, FLEE COWARDS! SEND FORTH YOUR CHAMPION! SEND FORTH THORAX!"
- >Time passes by, darkness begin to set upon the land.
- >You hear no additional buzzing, only silence.
- "THORAX! SHOW YOURSELF! LET US END THIS, RIGHT NOW!"
- >Still nothing.
- >It begin to grow darker and darker as the sun continues to set.
- "Coward... Traitorous Coward-"
- >"M-My Queen."
- >Two changeling cautiously emerge from behind a boulder.
- >One is green, one is blue-
- >These are the the two that grabbed hold of you while you were falling.
- "You..."
- >Your horn begins to glow green as you grab hold of the necks of the two changelings.
- "My Que- Que!"
- >The changelings begin to gag for breath as you tighten your grip upon them.
- "So... it's you two. The ones who would not let me choose my own demise."
- >"Plea- Ple"
- >Tears begin to pour out of the eyes of the green changeling. The blue one continues to stare at you, completely scared.
- "Was that out of mercy? If you had mercy, you would have let me fall!"
- >Second after second passes by as you continue to strangle them.
- "Were you attempting to share your love with me? Turn me into a pony sympathizer? Turn me into another slave of the all powerful pony goddesses who control the realm?"
- >The blue changeling begins to grow limp.
- "The crystal empire was not enough for them. Now they require the Changeling Kingdom too!"
- >As the blue changeling begins to lose consciousness, the green changeling shakily brings his front hoof back to his carapace.
- "Thorax will make you all slaves! Slave beneath the mighty hooves of the twin sisters."
- >The green changeling lifts up his wings
- >From beneath his carapace, he pulls out something black.
- >Protruding from the object are four green orbs-
- >Your crown!
- >You pause looking at the crown.
- >It had been blasted off your head during the explosion, you thought you'd never see it again!
- >The crown drops to the ground from the hoof of the green changeling.
- >The green changeling begins to waver.
- "You brought me my..."
- >You release your magical grip upon the two drones.
- >Both gasp for air as they collapse upon the ground
- >You look down at the tear-filled face of the green changeling.
- "W-why... why did you?"
- >"You are... our queen..." The drone says between breaths. "Nothing... will ever.. change that"
- "But... I though you turned your backs on me?"
- >The blue changelings looks up at your from the ground.
- >"After... *cough* all we've been through? How *cough* could we?"
- "But everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster."
- >"No!" The green changeling interrupts. "Not all of us..."
- >"Y-you are not a monster..."
- >"Y-you raised us... y-you raise all off us!"
- >"Mom... we love you!"
- >You turn away from your children as the tears begin to pour from your eyes.
- "I... I... told you to never call me that."
- >"I'm sorry... my Queen."
- >The two drones slowly get back onto four legs.
- "No..." You turn back to the two drones. "Its alright... no need to apologize... my child."
- >You walk over to the two of them.
- >Extending your long bloodied legs, you begin to take the two of them into your embrace-
- >You stop.
- >The two drones look up at you with there large colorful, tear-filled eyes.
- "I can't..."
- >The drones continue to stare at you as you being to back away.
- "I can't share my love with you... I'm all that's left of our kind. If I do that, then our race is no more."
- >The two changelings look at each other for a moment and then back to their Queen.
- >"It's alright my Queen, we understand."
- "Thank you... thank you..."
- >The three of you stand there in silence as the sun continue to set on the horizon.
- >"My Queen?"
- "Yes?"
- >"What now?"
- >You look off into the distance.
- >Vanishing into the darkness of the night stands the tall remnants of the changeling hive.
