"Cloud have you lost your mind?" Rarity said in pure instinct but she realized what she said after all of us gave her a glare.

"I NEARLY did thank you very much.." I said with a grumble. "but alas I didn't and I am serious. Here is the way I see it, the worst she can do is say no."

"Or trap us in pods again..." Flutteshy said with a small shudder.

"Either you all or with me or against my decision, I appreciate your concerns but this has to be done, even if I have to go alone." I then turned to trot out the door but Twilight Blossom stopped me.

"You silly mare," She said in a comforting tone but I slightly winced at what she called me. "do you honestly think I will let my fiancée go alone? I know you can take care of yourself but it never hurts to have some backup. You were born with this curse, you live with this curse, and you will die with this curse but you know what? Whether you are a caring colt or maniac mare I will love you to Tartarus and back even if it kills me."

"I am coming too, I want to put a curb stomping on Sombra." Naruto said stepping forward.

"Same here." Both my sister and Pinkie said stretching their wings. I nodded and headed out the door with the others behind me. When I glanced over my shoulder when we neared Ponyville, I saw the whole group was following me, which slightly eased my mood. As we went through town, everypony froze seeing me. Stallions headed out of town anyway they could that was not in the direction I was heading while mares took their foals inside the nearest building and slammed the doors shut.

"Damn Cloud, this is exactly how I was treated when I was a young kid so I know how you are feeling right now." Naruto commented once we had left and we're heading for the Badlands.

"Good to know somepoint does.." I said in a slightly bitter tone before falling silent. It took nearly 4 days but eventually we reacted the Hive where we were meet by a swarm of changelings.

"State your business." The leader demanded.

"I come with no ill intent, I request a meeting with your Queen, Queen Chrysalis. She has the cure to turn me ba-" I didn't even finish my sentence before every male changeling backed away. "Cl-cl- Cloud Dasher...I will take you and your friends straight to her but in the name of the First Mother don't harm me, I have a wife and nymphs."

"Relax, my mind is the only thing not changed, for now, so no harm will be done and thank you for your co-operation."

He nodded and rushed us through the hive and straight to the throne room where Chrysalis and Sombra were seated. "Wow Cloud Dasher, this is a surprise, no doubt you want some poison joke to cure you?" She asked in a knowing tone but at the same time I could tell she was actually surprised I was bold enough to come to her on her own turf.n

"Yes I do, and congrats on you and Sombra being engaged. Now to get to the matter at hoof would you please give me some poison joke? I know you are more cooperative than your fiancé, not to mention the fact not even him, Tirek, and Discord'a might combined can stop me while I am in my full powered mare form. Did he even bother to tell you why he wanted it?" Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Sombra wince at the memory of that fight but he didn't say a word.

"Thanks for the congratulations, same goes to you and Twilight Blossom." The Changeling Queen said with a small smile. "I can feel the love you two share, reminds me of Shining Armour's love for Princess Cadance. Yes he did tell me why, and I would normally kill in this situation but I have a trade in mind. In exchange for the poison joke, you join the hive, otherwise your two options are death or remaining a lesmare the rest of your life."

The others looked mortified. "You can't be serious..." Celestia, and a couple others, said in disbelief but I shocked them with my next question.

"What class of changeling?..."

"My heir..." Chrysalis replied, causing my jaw to drop. "Sombra can't get me pregnant, even if he was a made a consort he couldn't due to being unable to produce sperm." We all then stared at him in astonishment, the normal brash and regal stature crumbling away like dust in the wind as he looked away from us. Despite being an enemy, I couldn't help but pity the unicorn. "Reason I chose you Cloud is because of how well respected you are amongst ponies. Also, thank you for saving my sister, so this is a way of me giving back to you for the kindness you showed her. You have the First Mother's blessing for that, a high honor for a non-ling. So what is your decision?"

The entire hive fell silent waiting for my response.
