Chapter 9: To the Hive and Back Part 2
Hot Chocolate arrived only to be stopped by the same Changeling Guards his sister had asked to prevent him from entering the Hive. She didn't want anypony's help, especially his. She was perfectly fine by herself in the Hive surrounded by her own kind. the only thing she wasn't fine with was Queen Moonbeam, her own cousin who she wished she had the authority to throw out of the Hive so she didn't have to deal with that stupid pest. And then she heard it: her brother's voice talking to the Guards. She couldn't exactly pick out what they were saying, but she didn't care, scoffing and turning away. Good luck with that one, dear brother, she thought, Those guards are the best of the best and will only answer to a super secret password. I doubt your dull mind will ever figure it out.
"Chaon!" he called, "I know what to do!"
"The Princess won't let you through unless you say the password!" said the Guards.
"Oh c'mon! I'm her brother!" Hot Chocolate said.
"Still no passing!" the Changeling Guards commanded, "The Princess doesn't want to see you."
Open Your Heart (Reprise) Lyrics
Hot Chocolate: The password, the password I know is quite simple. It consists of three of her favourite things. Then you'll have no choice but to let me through.
The Guards raise their eyebrows and ask, "OK, what is it?"
Hot Chocolate: Number one, she's always loved music, number two, she loves chocolate chip cookies, and number three, she loves the chaotic powers of our mom.
"Very well. You may pass." said the Guards, moving out of the way so that he can get access to the Changeling Hive in hopes of saving his sister.
As soon as he enters the Hive, Princess Chaonia III is furious.
"What are you doing here? I don't need your help, I'm fine!" Chaon roared, "Leave the Hive this instant! Queen Moonbeam!"
"I may not like your standards for the Changeling Kingdom, but you're the next queen, so what can I do for you?" she replied.
Princess Chaonia III: Get my brother out of here!
"I'm sorry, but no." Moonbeam said.
Hot Chocolate: You must listen to me. SInging is the way to start to open up your heart!
"No." said Chaon.
Defeated, Hot Chocolate left for Ponyville to get his mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather, as well as the Mane 6 to try and deal with the problem. Meanwhile in the Hive, something very different was happening. Queen Moonbeam circled in Chaon's thoughts, trying to figure a way out from all this. But as soon as these thoughts exited her mind, her thoughts shifted more to reality, where she doesn't care about what she's done. So instead, she steps outside of the Hive and realises that it was her goal to embrace her chaotic side in order to bring out her Changeling side.
As soon as Hot Chocolate delivers the news, Discord teleports him, Fluttershy, and Zany to the Hive to witness what was happening outside the Hive, unable to do anything about it. Screwball and Mothball teleport shortly after, still unable to do anything. Hot Chocolate was the final one to teleport himself with his chaotic powers, unable to do anything at the moment, but still devising a plan. Everypony begins to sing.
A Changeling Can Change (Reprise) Lyrics- Tune Goes to Daniel Ingram and Hasbro
Screwball: If day can turn to night
Mothball: And the darkness turn to light
Screwball and Mothball: Why can't we imagine a Changeling can change?
Fluttershy: If day can turn to night
Discord: And the darkness turn to light
Fluttershy and Discord: Why can't we imagine a Changeling can change?
Chaon cackles in the distance and begins to sing evilly.
Princess Chaonia III (evilly): If day can turn to night
And the darkness turn to light
Why can't I imagine I can change-?
(rit. p) But if day can turn to night
And the darkness turn to light
(gradually crescendo) Why can't I imagine I can change-?
Everypony ran to find Chaon in order to help her get back on the right track, but instantly realised that they need to go back to Ponyville to retrieve Twilight Sparkle and her former student Starlight Glimmer as well as the rest of the Mane 6 to assemble if drastic measures occured. So, Discord teleports everypony even himself to The Castle of Friendship.
"Hi." Twilight Sparkle said, "What brings all of you here?"
"We need your help! It's terrible, my sister gave into her chaotic side and is taking over Equestria as we speak!" Hot Chocolate cried.
"Hmm..." Twilight said, "That's interesting. I never saw Chaon as the type that would do that sort of thing. I apologise greatly everypony, but we need the Elements of Harmony."
"B-but she's my granddaughter! Surely there's another way!" Said Fluttershy.
"I'm sorry, Fluttershy, but I'm afraid there's no other way." The purple alicorn replied.
"But it can't be!" She cried, horrified by her friend's statement.
"I'm sorry, but there is no other way." Twilight said.
The Element of Kindness sighed.
"If I must." She said.
"No, Mom! What are you doing?" Screwball asked.
"Fluttershy, stop!" Cried Discord.
"Grandma, please!" Cried Hot Chocolate.
Fluttershy smiled reassuringly as she walked towards Twilight Sparkle.
"We won't harm her, we promise." Fluttershy said, " We Pinkie Promise."
At that moment, the other four of the Mane 6 arrived, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash, to run to Twilight's and Starlight's aid.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly." Fluttershy began.
"Stick a cupcake in my eye." Fluttershy and Pinkie concluded.
"So is everypony ready?" Twilight asked, "Because we have a job to do."
"What exactly?" Asked Rainbow Dash, "Beating up monsters?"
"No, it's a tough one meaning emotionally. Chaon is out of control, So we must go to our last resort." the princess replied.
"And what might that be?" Asked Applejack.
"We have no choice but to use the Elements against Screwball and Mothball's daughter Princess Chaon." Twilight said, "So, is everypony ready?"
They nodded and Fluttershy waved goodbye to her family.
"I love you." She said, "Just stay safe."
And everypony was off to the Changeling Hive, even Hot Chocolate and the others. But who knows what would happen to them there? It was all a surprise until they finally arrived.
The Elements of Harmony plus Starlight Glimmer, a very powerful unicorn and Twilight Sparkle's former student, assembled and eventually turned Princess Chaonia III to stone.
The Mane 6 waited for her reformation to take effect because they knew that it wouldn't take very long for her to revert back to her normal state.
In fact, their assumptions were absolutely correct and after a while Chaon returned to Equestria as she once was.
Her brother trots over, reuniting with his sister.
"I'm glad you're back, Chaon." he said, hugging her, "Next time whenever you need help, go knock on my door."
Chaon chuckled.
"I will, Cocoa." she said, smiling warmly.

It may seem like a good place to stop, but there are still chapters in the story. I will make it know with a "The End" at the very end, don't you worry!
