Me and rainbow dash ran for another 10 meters where I noticed a black figure racing for her. It tackled her shaking her up and causing her to drop the filly in her hands. I dropped my cargo and jumped for the filly now hurdling towards the ground, however I didn't calculate my propulsion and overshot it, I missed her by an inch! I reached out for desperation when a miracle happened!

my arm transformed and extended like a spring enveloping the filly and pulling her to me. Why is the virus mutating so quickly? are changelings speeding up the mutation speed of the virus? Either way the filly was safe and Dash came back with no changeling behind her, I gave her the filly and we started heading off again. When we made it to the castle the white stallion came back.

"princess Celestia needs to see you right away it's important she said" he exclaimed,

What he said meant leaving the civilians to fend for themselves "sorry I can't do that" I answered

"why?" he asked

"I can't leave your civilians to fend for themselves, so I have a request if you want me to see her" the right thing is the hardest to do.

"she said this was urgent we have no time to negotiate" he exclaimed

I saw twilight running beside the stallion " B.B.B.F.F what's wrong?" she asked.

"The princess needs to see him but he's not budging" he said,

I spoke up "listen to my demands, Send whatever guards you can spare to defend the civilians or I'm going out there myself"

"Gordon what are you doing?" twilight asked

"I want to know for a fact these people will stay safe"

"I must have you see the princess" the stallion said

"what's your name?" I asked

"Shining Armor" he said with resent

"what is your job?" I asked

"I am the head of the royal guard and I must follow direction" he said

"WRONG your job is to protect these ponies and the princess with your life and your leaving them to fend for themselves, and you call yourself a guard!" I knew he was meant to protect the princess but I hoped I hit his sense of honor,

he left for a few minutes and brought with him twenty guards.

"These are all the troops I can muster the rest will protect Celestia" he said

I saw them move to the burning city, I nodded and followed twilight to the main chamber where Celestia awaited me.

"Hello Gordon glad to see you made it" Celestia said, I saw that everyone else was here

"so what are we going to do?" I asked

"We must find the queen and get her to leave the city, with her the rest of the changelings will follow" she said

"sounds good any ideas where she could be?" I asked

"She will either be in a secluded area to lead her army or she will be on her way to challenge me again"

"Wait they attacked before?" I exclaimed.

"Yes but they didn't attack in the darkness of night" she said,

this reminded me of somepony "how's Luna" I asked

"she is currently recovering, thank you for helping her Gordon" she said

"no problem" I replied. "So where do you think the queen would be hiding" I asked

"one area she could be in, scouts have reported seeing the changelings going to and leaving the train station".

"So the plan is to raid the train station and purge the queen?" I asked

"essentially yes" she said

"right lets move it, who is going with me?"

"you are capable of fighting?" she asked,

Rainbow Dash spoke up "oh yeah he is, he fights nail and teeth out there you can trust him, not to brag but we make a good team out there" she said.

"Okay you two clear the station and convince the queen to leave if not use any means necessary to make her leave the city I wish the two of you luck".

We went off into the cold night again, Dash would lead me to the station and about halfway there I saw a few more black silhouettes charging us from our left side

"TO YOUR LEFT" I screamed to dash,

she turned around and ducked under what looked like a green fireball she was fighting another three while I fought with four. I got my hammer fist out when one of them charged me, I smashed it into the ground and consumed it, I quickly switched to my claws cutting another one consuming it as well. The other two ran and I changed my arms to that tentacle thing impaling them both when I hurdled it at them consuming their bodies also.

My body began to transform again "what the hell? why am I changing so fast?"

my arm soon changed to a blade about my size

"nice" I heard a voice behind me "Now they don't stand a chance" Rainbow dash said.

I chuckled, We made it to the train station a minute later, it looked deformed with green walls encasing the main station. I cracked my neck saying "alright grunts the jet cleared let's do this" , We opened the door and entered darkness.
