Chapter One: The Experiment.
"Red Alert!, Red Alert!, All available Drones to the lab, We must restrain the Prototype, He must not leave the Chamber!" An Authoritative voice boomed in the minds of the Changelings within the hive sector, an alarm sounded down the hall ways of the Scientific sector as yells of Pain and anger were escaping the last chamber.
"Quickly you fools secure the chamber, We cannot let him escape!" Commander Dread yelled at the nearby drones and soldiers cowering under him and his voice.
-Inside the Chamber-
"Quickly tighten the chains!" a nearby scientist yelled as his colleges ran to do the job, the changing chained to the wall was being injected with several different chemicals code named P.F.G.E.I standing for Pure Flame Gene Enhancement Injection, So far the Changeling on the wall is the only one who has been able to stand through all the doses given, it causes the Pony injected with it if successful it mutates and enhances the genetic structure of the subject to likeness of a Flame elemental, or Phoenix, Its an extremely dangerous and painful process and takes many days to complete.
"Grrrrrrrah!" The Changeling growled at the nearby scientists as he struggled as best he could against the magic bindings his scales had began to Darken to a Shadowy Black and his scales cracked and glowed Purple with Arcanic Flame, his wings incinerated and the dust fell to the ground where his wings should have been were now two open glowing gaps that didn't seal closed, his eyes turned from the customary Neon green to a Hurricane Purple, his mane becoming a mass of small purple flames that flickered in and out his tail tip became a small ball of flame.
The Changeling continued to thrash and growl in pain and anger towards the others who did this to him, as he transformed his bindings began to crack from the energy and with one final struggle the chains burst apart sending shrapnel everywhere as he fell to the ground breathing heavily as the door to the room opened and several drones and soldiers marched in along with the infamous, Commander Dread.
a nearby scientist spoke up "It worked...I cant believe it...it actually worked!, the Queen will be so pleased!" The scientists in the room cheered in unison at the success but the celebrations were short lived as the Changeling began to shakily stand up
"You...You did this to me...Its all your fault...You butchered my friends...my family...all for this test...I'm...I'm going to kill you all!..." The Changeling said as he began to steady himself, exhausted he was going to fight back as best he could.
The changeling lifted his head to look at them all his eyes glowing with hatred, the cracks on his body began to glow even more as flames slowly raised out of them and danced like his mane, rearing back his head he opened his mouth and let loose a torrent of Bright Purple Flame that quickly incinerated and burned any pony caught in the path, the flame quickly traveled across the room setting objects and walls on fire, this attack wore down on the already exhausted Changeling and he quickly began to blacken out, before too long he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Secure him...clean him up, and bring him before the Queen, I shall go report your success to her Majesty, Good work...Zenith...You've done well today...I'll make sure to put in a good word..." Commander dread said nodding
"Thank you, Sir...I do only as ordered." Chief Scientist Zenith said bowing before his superior.
As the conversation ended the Experiment was escorted out of the room chained to a gurney with a Muzzle on and transported out of the room.
