They looked shocked, 1. by the fact I even knew what they were, seeing how I came was brought in after they disappeared and 2. that I said I knew where it was.

"How do you know about the changelings?" Twilight asked.

"I'll tell you what I told Dash and Fluttershy. About a half hour after Dash left to get you, she came back alone and was upset for being accused of being a traitor for helping me. I tried to comfort her, the eyes glowed green and I was knocked out, and I woke up in a green pod with a bunch of them around me."

"How did you get out?"

"I don't think Chrysalis will mind telling you herself once we get there."

"I don't know y'all. It could be a trap."

"How can I prove I'm not lying?"

"Allow me." Twilight walked over to me and her horn glowed. She concentrated for a few moments and was flung across the room.

"What! I didn't do that. Honest!" Twilight got up and shook it off.

"That's a very powerful magic. I don't think I can tap into your mind while that's there."

"Just great."

"Anypony else got any other ideas?"

"I think I might have one, but I'm not sure how it will go, but just don't use your magic."

"Alright…" Twilight seemed nervous.

"Ok…just put your head down for a second. Just enough so I can reach your horn without trouble."

She gently lowered her head a little and I touched my forehead to her horn. I thought of the whole thing as it had happened, also giving a few mental notes to clarify why I did what I did.

After the thought was complete I moved away from her and asked if it worked.

"I did manage to see a few things. It wasn't much but I can tell you were telling the truth."

"Ok, good. Now is that good enough for everypony to follow me for a while?"

I got mixed answers from the ponies.

"Come on guys. I need you to trust me on this. I would never hurt any of you. You guys are like a second family to me."

They seemed to consider and I got them to say yes.

"Thank you. So before we head out, I need a bite to eat. I haven't eaten since yesterday's breakfast."

Rainbow handed me the bag of muffins she just pulled out of nowhere and I ate a couple.

"Alright, one more thing before we go," I looked at Rainbow Dash. "I need you to feel like you don't love me."

"Why?"

"You know how she feeds off love. If she uses it then we won't stand much of a chance."

"Oh yeah. But do we really have to, I mean you beat her before right?"

"Yes, but I had to try to feel like I didn't love you to scare her into submission so I could escape. If we go in there, we may have to fight our way out."

"No biggie. I think we can take her."

"If you insist…just head back to the cave and I'll go ahead to see if I can remember where it is." They gave me a nod and I flew out while they started walking in the direction of the cave.

In about 20 minutes, I was at the cave. I looked for the nearby mountain and retraced my steps from there. I flew to the top of the mountain and flew down to about where I was and I searched around.

I couldn't find the entrance anywhere. I walked around a bit and stepped on some leaves and fell through.

"Ow. Oh, hey I found it."

So I wouldn't lose it again, I distorted a large rock keeping the entrance blocked and started making a path from the entrance to the cave mouth.

I sat in the cave for about another 20 minutes and they showed up.

"Ok. I made a path to the entrance and placed a rock to keep the entrance open, just in case it decides to try to close on me."

This got a few skeptical looks from some of them.

"Anyway, follow me."

I led them down the path and eventually reached the rock. I levitated it away and the entrance was still there.

"It's down there. I'll check to see if my torches are still lit."

I went down and saw that they indeed were still lit.

"Ok, they are still lit. Come on."

They followed me into the tunnel and every now and then we would see a sleeping changeling hanging from the ceiling like it was a bat. We eventually reached the main chamber, and found almost the entire colony of changelings hanging from the ceiling including Chrysalis.

"Ok, we found it, we can go now." Fluttershy whispered, already backing out of the room.

We started to leave, but heard a something smash behind us. It was a changeling that had fallen by accident, but it woke up every other changeling and we were spotted almost immediately.

"RUUUUN!"

We started running as fast as we could, trying to make it out of the labyrinth as fast as we could. We blasted through a few disturbed changelings and quickly made our way to the exit. Fluttershy was out first, followed by Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, and Dash.

I was about to make it out, but I felt a magical force pulling me back.

Dash was the first to grab my hoof, and the others grabbed her for support. I could see I was leaving the labyrinth, but the other ponies slipped and Dash and I were pulled back in, the entrance sealing behind us.

We were dragged back into the main chamber, all of the changelings staring at us, and Chrysalis stood up to speak.

"Well, well, well. Look who's back. And here I thought you didn't like me." she gave a little evil laugh. "I can see you brought her, and she's absolutely brimming with love."

I looked to her and she blushed.

"I couldn't help it, it's harder than you think you know."

"Let's see how you fare this time. FEED MY SUBJECTS, FEED!" the changelings charged us.

Dash took to the air and I summoned creatures, prepared to fight Chrysalis to the very end.

We will not let this be the end of us.
