[11:20 PM] Soldier: Damn, how the hive managed to afford all this?

Oh god. That would be adorable.
>Anon introduces Equestria to the invention of air-propelled foam darts that are utilized by a plastic-made projectile launcher
>AKA, NERF guns
>More specifically, he shows this to the Queen of the Changelings
>She's fascinated by this technology, and begins adapting and mass-producing the technology for her hive
>The darts can be easily replicated with a couple of synthetic compounds that the changelings already excrete
>The plastic chamber to launch them, however, is made from some adhesive and molted shell pieces, with some spare metals to make the spring mechanisms
>All her warriors are trained for its use, and are ready for combat
>Her new plan begins at dawn

>Her army lies in wait at the treeline, the now quiet city of Canterlot in their sights
>Only a couple of the royal guard are currently on post in this location
>"NOW!" yells the Queen
>Dozens of her warriors go charging forward with their new weaponry
>The few relaxed guards didn't stand a chance, and they were downed within seconds
>The early bird ponies in the streets traveling to work or setting up shop were taken hostage in the blitz attack
>In the panic, they scream in terror for their rulers to save them
>As the changelings storm a building to hold the hostages, a few Night guard Bats get closer to survey the situation
>They are felled instantly from the quick aerial squadron, caught in a hail of gunfire from behind
>"So far so good. Recon units, check the cast-"
>Just as they were turning to look at their queen, their confident faces were overtaken by fear
>A sword's blade was coming for Queen Chrysalis' neck
>Even though it was too close to prevent it, the swarm of changelings rushed to take down the assailant, guns at the ready
>A muted thud echoed within the confines of the speechless room

>"HOOO WHEE! When I heard there'd be some action, I didn't know it'd be THIS excitin'!"
>Queen Chrysalis turns her head to look at her assassin. "And who, are you?"
>The Queen's hoof is violently shaken by the mare
>"The name's Ms. Peachbottom, and I've gotta say. Goin' on vay-cay has benn a GREAT idea every time I've done it! First time was in the Crystal Empire, and now this? I really gotta plan more o' these!"
>"Uh huh. And more to the point, where did you aquire that weapon?"
>Peachbottom looks down at the foam weapon she holds
>"Oh this? Fella named Anon gave it to me. Said 'when the time comes to use this, you'll know.' Though it was a lotta hooey, but he said I'd have fun when 'it goes down', so I accepted it!"
>"ANON? HE DARES BETRAY THE HIVE?!"
>A crunching noise is heard in the corner of the room
"Yup. Wanted a show, and I got one."
>Anon opens the window next to him
"GAME'S OVER GUYS, SOMEONE GOT THE QUEEN."
>The guards get up and brush themselves off, smiles on their faces
>"W-what? How can they get back up? You said this polymer was fatal to ponies!"
"Nope. Just knew if it wasn't, you wouldn't have done it. Sorry bugbutt."
>"I wondered why the chicken-butted one giggled as she attempted to flee capture." One of the changelings thought aloud
>With that sudden realization, the changelings panic, scrambling for any exit to retreat back to the hive
>"I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS ANON!" She screams before following her subjects
>With the falling of the moon and sun beginning to rise, anon looks at the small clear orb on the table
>"I must admit Anon, 'twas as entertaining as you stated 'twould be." Luna says
"Told you."
