"Ah, you are here good." Fireheart jumped as he looked in front of him seeing some sort of dragon/eagle/whatever nature managed to fuck up and put into one creature with legendary weirdness hybrid.

So he reacted the way most would…. Mostly by screaming like a little foal.

"UAGH!" he shouted jumping backwards. Upon slamming unto the… 'ground' he finally noticed how he wasn't in a forest anymore but in some sort of black room with nothing but pure darkness surrounding him.

"Who are you?" he asked. "Where am I?"

The… lets just call him dragon answered with a smirk on his lips.

"Well, I am Discord of course and I am here to welcome you to hell."

"HELL?!"

"Yes, you died or have you forgotten this already?" he chuckled still humouring the stallion, who was about to freak out.

"Y-Yes but I saved a filly didn't I? I mean… wouldn't I go to heaven?"

"Well, you would but you didn't exactly save her…"

"What do you mean? That tree was going to crush her!"

"No, she was in save distance and you jumped in harm's way, thus killing yourself. Suicide is also considered hell you know."

Fireheart slammed his head against the ground groaning in frustration. "So you are telling me I threw my life away, even though nothing would have happened to her anyway?"

Discord laughed "Yes I do."

The stallion sighed at his stupidity. "Great, off to a trip to a warmer place I guess."

The dragon finally stopped with his laughing. "I do not think so." He spoke making the pony look up. "Since you were trying to handle in pure actions, I am willing to give you a second chance ,however you will need to do something for me."

Fireheart felt hope once again enter him. "Yes? I'll do whatever you ask."

"Good, you see that filly that you… 'saved' isn't who you think she is. I will need you to take care of her and protect her."

"Why?"

"For my entertainment of course!"

"Horai." He growled sarcasticly.

"I like the enthusiasm already, now then will you accept or not?"

Sighing softly the male answered. "I do."

Darkness, pure darkness.

'What the hay?'

Fireheart blinked as all light suddenly was taken from him. He could not see nor hear anything except for a… heartbeat? Assuming it is his own he noticed how he seemed to swim in something wet. 'Wet?! What is going on?' Even though the liquid seemed to completely surround him he could breath somehow. Reaching out with his hoofs he noticed how they pressed against something slippery. It took him some moments to realize that he was trapped.

'What in the world?!' he asked himself as he went full panic, trashing around in his prison. 'Somepony help me!' he tried to scream out but only liquid filled his mouth. Feeling a coughing reflex as it went down into his lungs. After three more minutes of useless struggle he managed to calm himself down enough to think properly.

'Okay, there has to be some way out of here.' He thought gliding over the surface of the wall in front of him. It seemed to be… egglike? Suddenly one of his hoofs touched something on top of him. He gasped inwardly as a deep shudder went through his whole body.

'What the hay was that?!' he shouted inside his head. He brushed over it again, this time being far more gentle to the sensitive body part.

'Is this a horn?!' the stallion asked himself trailing down until his hoof touched his forehead.

'I have a horn even though I am an earth pony… this can't get even weirder…. On the other hoof I am stuck in some soft egg like structure surrounded by liquid and I am still alive… Celestia what have you done to me?' he thought before his hoof touched the sharp tip of the horn…

Sharp.

Maybe just maybe….

Deciding it would be worth the risk he prepared himself before ramming against the wall with his horn full force. A loud crack followed before a bright light shined into his eyes.

"GAH!" he cried out as the sudden brightness brought unbelievable pain. Covering them with one of his legs he waited several moments for them to adjust before opening them again. Fireheart blinked as he could finally see again and noticed how he was in the middle of a cave of some sorts. Around him laid hundreds of eggshells letting him know where he is.

'Oh god, I am in their nest. Okay, Fireheart don't try to panic.' Turning to his left however he soon found himself face to face with one of those godforsaken creatures. A changeling stood a few meters away from him tilting its head slightly.

"UAGH!" he cried out jumping backwards. The changeling still didn't react for some reason, apparently waiting for something.

"Get the buck away from me!" he growled out glaring… down? at it. Now that he thought of it, this changeling looked rather small from the ones he fought. It seemed to barely reach his kneecaps if at all. Was this a baby? This could also explain why it wouldn't attack him. Gulping slightly he made a large circle around that… thing.

He made his way towards what appeared to be the exit of the cave. However it looked like somepony didn't agree with his choice to leave.

"Huh, what is that feeling on my le…- OH CELESTIA GET THAT OFF!" he cried out in terror as the changeling clutched itself on his leg. He waved the body part around in an attempt to shake it off, but after going for full 10 seconds and then stopping the changeling let out a squeal before buzzing quietly. A moment later a bright pink light seemed to radiate from it.

As soon as that started he felt something warm rise in him. "What are you doi…" just then realization seemed to hit him.

Changeling + Bright Pink Light = "OHMYCELESTIAITISFEASTINONMYLOVEGETTHATTHINGOFFME!" he shouted as he began to wiggle it even more than before. After around ten minutes of wiggling (and cursing) he managed to calm down at least a little. With that done he tried to push it down again and this time it was easily done. The Changeling buzzed at him rubbing its head against his legs with a smile on its face.

"Uh… good boy?" he asked backing off. It buzzed again tilting its head seemingly confused.

"Oh… uh good girl?" the male tried again, this time seemingly right as it squeaked jumping into his black hoofs…. Wait…. Wasn't his coat orange/red the last time he checked? Looking at his limps he saw the change of color quite clearly as for weird looking holes in them. Turning his gaze further seeing up to his chest, it was chitin like, with some bug like wings on his back. He turned towards a small puddle of green which was in the middle of the cave to see his reflection. A complete changeling like face with dark red eyes. His mane had turned from orange to dark grey, covering parts of his face. Now he also noticed why the changeling from before seemed so small… He was one himself with the difference of him being around 2 meters big. So the male did the only proper thing one could do in this moment.

"WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?!" the now transformed changeling cried out, landing on his back. Covering his face with both of his hoofs he began to chant "It's all just a dream." over and over again, with each time him looking at his still black limps become more and more desperate.

However all of that stopped when he felt something touch his stomach. Removing his hoofs from his eyes, he saw how the small changeling had crawled on his chest squeaking slightly, with a frown on her lips.

"Argh get off me!" he shouted pushing the child off. She however didn't seem to like it as she continued to follow him as he backed off.

"Go away!" he shouted. She kept on going.

"Leave me alone!" She kept going.

"THE POWER OF CELESTIA COMPELLS YOU!" she kept going.

Finally he noticed that the further he went the brighter the room got. Turning around quickly he saw what appeared to be the cave entrance. Wasting no time he made a run for it…. However he stopped in his tracks when he heard another squeak behind him. Slightly turning his head he saw the small changeling staring after him with a big frown on her face her eyes full of tears…

Fireheart felt his heart sink at this. No matter what he had heard of the changelings, of their crimes or their ways to live they were still living and feeling creatures. Would he be able to leave somepony as small as her back? He was more than sure that she would die, either from starvation or the cold.

Run away at last! One voice shouted inside him.

She has no one else to care for her could you really do that? The other countered.

Those things are eating away love, those aren't ponies those are monsters!

And if not? What if we had misunderstood them all along? Yes, they tried to exchange Princess Cadence and take over Equestria but have we ever listened to their reason? No! We simply banished them! Now would you sink so far to even leave a child to die?

That was when he felt something touch his chest. Looking down he saw the changeling raising her hoofs up to his face showing she wishes to be picked up. However what broke his heart was when he heard the following word.

"Dada."

Fireheart was looking outside of the cave. Thunder and rain raged over the lands making him sigh in relief that he didn't leave it in the first place. They seemed to be located inside a forest. They? You may ask? Well, he wasn't able to leave back the little bundle of cuteness back.

Cute? Yes, he already over that part. Apperently this changeling body seemed to also mess with his head and instincts a little. Turning his head towards his side he spotted the small baby snuggling into his stomach searching for warmth and comfort from the storm. It made no sense. Why was he able to give love even though he is still a changeling? However something suddenly clicked in him.

"Discord." He growled out.

The stallion was more than sure, that the dragon… thingy was the reason why he was in this situation now. The filly was probably also the one which he was supposed to protect… and the one which he saved.

"Great, thank Celestia for bringing me into this situation… Wait… Celestia!" he shouted out with a smile on his face. Perhaps she could help him! He had often read in the stories about how she and her sister Princess Luna had defeated Discord.

A squeak ripped him out of his thoughts. Looking down he spotted the wide eyed changeling looking frightened at him. Oops…

The next day Fireheart looked outside of the cave. Seeing that the storm had finally stopped he heard a slight squeak behind him making him stop. The changeling baby looked up at him raising her hoofs to show that she wants to be held and probably hugged.

"I can't hold her the whole time." He growled in frustration, however the child seemed to have an idea. It did its best to crawl up his legs and was about to fall down only to be caught by him in time. Now with some help she finally reached her wanted destination which appeared to be his neck, or rather mane where she buried herself in. It didn't take long till small snores filled his ears indicating that she had fallen asleep.

Walking outside the male protected his eyes for some moments from the bright sunlight. Looking around he got up on a nearby hill. As he reached the top he spotted a certain castle in the distance… canterlot.

He sighed in relief, thank the skies above he was near the capital of Equestria. Running to it for some moments he suddenly stopped only to look at his legs. Right he was still a changeling. He was more than sure that the other ponies would attack him as soon as they spotted him. After all the last changeling invasion was only a few weeks ago. He still had no idea how they managed to get in and exchange all the ponies with their own disguised as guards… Wait, he is a changeling so he can change too right? Deciding it is worth a try he concentrated the best he could.

…

…

…

From outside it looked like his eyes would pop out at any moment with nothing happening. After around one minute of constant trying he stopped, throwing his legs in the air.

"It's useless how in the world am I supposed to change?!"

"Ga?" he heard somepony speak behind him. Frustrated to the core he picked the child from his neck holding it in front of him.

"Great not you too" he growled thinking she would cry now. However he couldn't be more wrong. The baby giggled, yes she actually giggled and reached with her hoofs to his face touching his horn. Almost immediately a surge of magic went through him making him shudder. A bright green light followed seemingly radiating from him. Looking at his legs the stallion saw how his legs seemed to have grown a nice orange coat again. Placing the child down and feeling over his face he noticed that he has changed to a pony again. An orange coated and red maned earth pony.

Feeling a smile form to his mouth he looked down to see the baby changeling growing herself turning into a yellow coated filly with a red mane matching his. Before he could stop himself he reached down to hug her tightly to his chest. Another giggle came from the filly also reaching around him. A moment later the same pink light came from him like before, however this time it didn't seem to bother him at all. Knowing he had to continue to canterlot he placed the filly on his back again, now continuing on his journey.

Arriving at the castle he simply got through the front gate not even looked at by the guards stationed there. Sighing in relief since his disguise is working Fireheart walked through the streets being given stares. He felt himself become insecure until one of the mares spoke.

"Aw that is just adorable." Raising his eyebrow he suddenly felt some weight on his head. Looking up he saw some small hoofs on his forehead letting him that the changeling baby had just climbed on top of his head.

'So much for keeping a low profile.' He muttered as he kept going towards the royal castle. Seeing more and more ponies turn to him he decided it would be for the best to stop this action at once and pulled the baby off… however it had touched the space where his horn would be while doing so. In a flash the stallion stood again double the height of a normal stallion with midnight like coat in the middle of canterlot with hundreds of eyes staring at him.

He looked down to the child to see it hold a sign saying

-You are bucked-
