Narupony

Author's Note:SO last chapter Arachne, pretty weird spider thing and you haven't seen the scope of what its capable of. So I got about two or three more chapters to do with this arc, then I swear on the power of Trixie we will have Zecora finally appear and then I have no idea what to after that arc, I should write things down in a note-book but then that means more work and listening to paper which I don't do, unless it's an absolutely brilliant idea. I already alluded to what might happen this chapter now for you all to find out what really happened.

Shisarakage:To be honest, Arachne was supposed to be something else entirely but I went the spider route. Arachne's weakness to be honest I don't have the slightest idea what it is, like I said previously in the author's note I don't plan unless you count dischord. ALso thank you for the various gifts, nothing helps an author write better than being drunk.

Cf96:Yeah it's the likely way to stop the war, but I already alluded that the attack has begun. The poll is who should Naruto get together with first check my profile if you haven't seen it until then, enjoy the chapter.

MAximumDrive:No I wouldn't call them allies, more like business partners.

Ramen Junky:Yeah I'm playing Devil may cry as you read this most likely, so yeah I can't blame you for playing a good game.

Disclaimer:I don't own Naruto MAsashi Kishimoto owns it and My little pony is owned by Hasbro I mean I have typed this out how many times now do think that would have changed anytime over the past four months?

Chapter Twenty-one: Averting a Crisis(part Five): A love bite.

The Hive

Shining armor stared on as the changeling swarm passed by him, war was imminent and whatever that thing was, clinging to the changelings hive was most likely the cause of it. His cerulean gaze turned down, on to the king stumbling back and forth as blood dripped freely from his neck, the only thing keeping the changeling was most likely his will to fight. "Armor we need to treat that wound." Soarin's yell rose above the changelings his eyes already scanning the downed king. "Do either of you know any healing magic?" Both unicorns stared upwards at the mysterious creäture, an unsaid no as they both prepared to kill the spider. "Fine I'll figure something out, it can't be that different from a pegasus body can it?" Soarin glanced at the king's body from afar, he was a certified wonderbolt medic and not that bad, but he wondered if all the medical knowledge he knew about pegasi could help him save Metamor's life.

"Can you save him Soarin'?" The captain's watched as the pegasus stopped in front of the king, his emerald-green eyes already scanning over the king's body looking for any signs of the poison taking effect.

"I will just take care of everything else, but I need some time to figure out the poison." His hoof touched the kings eyes, what was once a bright sapphire now a dull and lifeless ruby-red. 'It must have been whatever that spider injected into him.' The pegasus looked closer at the changeling's wound the occasional blood tinkling down his neck, the wound was shallow the Soarin could tell that much for sure, and with that he was sure whatever the spider injected into his neck. "What are you?"

"I am Arachne, the distinguished pet of Lord Dischord himself." It was at that moment that each member of the royal guard realized what they were up against, a remnant of a chaotic plague that once fell equestria, the changelings were suffering from equestria's own burden. It's mandibles crossed each other as the cries of Soarin alerted the equestrian guards as King Metamor's two fangs dripped with blood.

"What happened Soarin are you alright?" Shining Armor cringed as he looked at the pegasus backed away his hoof touching the wound as Metamor looked at him.

"I got bit what does it look like happened?" The pegasus glanced at his wound, his head pounding at the constant blood dripping down his hoof.

"What did you do to the changeling king?" All looked on as the spider clicked it's mandibles again, the Kings head cracked almost in understanding as his horn began to glow, the emerald eyes of Soarin became a dull listless red as he glanced at his captain. The pegasus' hooves shook as he walked forward, blood dripping down his collar lunging at his commanding officer, his head slamming into a protective barrier. "What did you do to my friend, what did you do to them answer me?" His horn glew as the two mindlessly crashed into the barrier their eyes becoming hallowed with rage as they looked on at their target.

"I gave them what they wanted, the freedom to forget everything." The spiders mandibles clicked again as the red color in the two eyes deepened, the futile struggle against Shining Armor's barrier finally ending.

"Don't mince your words, doing that just pisses me off. We can tell you are controlling them, we just don't know how." his eyes not even registering the two controlled puppets looking at him, the sunny glow of his aura wrapped around his cards. "What you are doing is unacceptable, so I'm going to kill you and then I'm going to go get Naruto to stop this war, got it TRASH!" His voice echoed out as the cards slammed into Arachne's exoskeleton, his crimson eyes echoed in anger as he watched the spider get back up.

The two puppets dashed forward Metamor's horn glowing with a vibrant green hue, intent on ending the unicorns life as he tripped into the desert ground, his target narrowly avoiding death. "King Metamor, are you still in there can you understand anything?" The changeling turned towards the captain his cerulean eyes sizing the king up as he growled at him. "I guess not." His eyes closed as the galloping of hooves charged at him, his horn slamming into the barrier as it enveloped the king ending the battle before it truly started. "I'm sorry Metamor, this is the only was I can subdue you without hurting you, now go to sleep." His eyes slowly losing the reddish tint, now a sapphire tint.

"You equestrians are all... the same... too soft." The Changeling king grinned as he looked on at the unicorn his eyes showing nothing but respect and hatred at the same time. He wouldn't retract those orders, not unless this bunch proved they were worth the changelings time and even now he saw nothing but disdain for them.

"Click"

The unicorn looked on as the changeling's eyes began turning a deeper red. Green surrounded his horn as it started taking shape, a blade-like shape. "what is that thing?" The captain looked in wonder as it cut through the barrier like it was tissue paper. His eyes a brighter red as he charged at the unicorn his horn breaking through the barrier as it slowed down stopping just in front of Shining Armor's muzzle. the blade-like magic and horn slowly being pulled out as he glared at the unicorn. "He's stronger than I originally thought, and that magic I can't even comprehend what it can actually do."

Spitfire tackled her longtime comrade and wonderbolt to the ground as his wings flapped spastically trying to break free of her grip. She would let the magic folk deal with the bigger problems, this was her subordinate and she be damned if she didn't slap some sense into him. "Now calm down that's an order." His eyes slowly turning back to an emerald-green. "Much better now tell me what's going on with you now."

"I don't know mam it just this thing it keeps saying bite kill it's all so confusing, if I don't make it I wanted to say something since we were jr. wonderbolts." HEr hoof pressed against his mouth as she looked at him with understanding.

"You are making it soldier, we were not trained to be quitters do you understand." She looked on at the emerald eyes full of worry and concern, did this creäture have some sort of influence over the mind of everypony it touched and they touched. She slowly removed her hoof wondering if whatever was bothering him had passed.

"Click"

Spitfite watched the emerald eyes she knew and loved turn ruby-red, as the pegasus' front hooves slammed into the mare, pushing her backwards on the ground. This wasn't the Soarin she knew, the one that loved pie, racing against recruits and brightening her day to levels she couldn't imagine. His hoof pressed against her throat as she coughed out trying to push him away. Tears slowly dripping from his eyes as he raised his hoof slamming it down on to her own as she pushed herself away. 'I'll save you Sold..Soarin I'll save you that's a promise.' Orange eyes hardened as she flapped her wings once, wondering how much of him was still left in there. "Soarin lets play tag." Her words full of resolve, both disappearing in the blink of an eye the only sound in the desert was the occasional swish as they passed somepony or thing by.

"Get up it's you against me and I'm not wasting time with trash."

"Oh my is that the best you have, I gues..." the spider's eyes watched as volleys among volleys of cards came crashing down on him the only thing protecting him was the rock-like armor exoskeleton. "Let me fin..." Its eyes widened as he braced himself for another onslaught of cards all intent on taking his life.

"The dead don't get to speak." His ears didn't register the growl of irritation as the spider got up again, Crescent's plan was simple find a chink in the spiders armor and then capitalize on that and kill the bastard. He watched as it got back up again, his eyes following the beasts legs as the card laid scattered around him, his face turning to a crooked grin as the spires of cards appeared countless attempts to skewer his body, dull thuds echoed between the two as the spires of cards stopped on Arachne's underbelly. 'What the hell is his skin made of?' The unicorn neighed in disapproval as he his horn stopped glowing, his mind racing to find a new way to hurt this beast.

The spiders eyes trained on the unicorn it was crafty, not as crafty as master dischord, he could play that game too Arachne did learn from the best after all. "Click" His mandibles smacked together the desert carrying its tune to his wayward puppets, he expected the unicorn to be beaten as he strolled forth to his broken body savoring the fear he would hold in his eyes, and then he'd sink his fangs into the vermin. his delusions died off as his three of his eyes looked left, those Equestrians were holding them back, these vermin were more frustrating than he originally remembered.

"Can I ask you something?" The spider's eyes lazily turned back towards his target, wondering if the unicorn had reached his limit already, "It's actually a small question and should be relatively easy to answer that is, how is Soarin affected by whatever is controlling the king?" Arachne wished he could grin at the poor equestrian in front of him, was he that concerned for his fellow comrade's he'd forsake his own life to save theirs. "If you tell me, I'll make it painless."

Crimson eyes stared on, the spider glanced on all seventeen eyes staring at him as the moonlight shined down on them. "I'll indulge you, vermin. My venom passes through bites. My mandibles act as a conductor so when I click them each they enact the sense of mind control."

"So certain clicks or sounds cause them to do certain things. I have one last question can it be cured?" Arachne stared on tilting his head, his spinnerets already hard at work creating strands of web to destroy his opposition. Its back right leg moved slowly around the web, the barbs coated in strands as it moved it right leg forward entangling the next one with its barbs and so forth. his front right leg held the tools of the unicorns downfall.

"It can, but you'll never know how." The unicorn looked on at Arachne, the spiders shot forward the strand wrapping around the unicorns leg dragging him across the ground, his fangs dripping with venom as the unicorn struggled to get free. "Don't fight it, the strands I make are harder than the rocks you see in this desert." Crescent frowned as a sunny glow enveloped his card all slamming into the strand breaking him free from the sticky situation, only for his next leg to be wrapped around in another. "I almost forgot about those, too bad you can't create them, like I can create my endless supply of thread."

The spider laughed as the unicorn began untangling his leg each tug of his left leg pulled him closer, it was amusing at how crafty the unicorn was , but it bided its time with the vermin long enough, he'd be a meal and nothing more as he hunted down Chrysalis. It was only fitting as the unicorn grasped to his leg a plea for mercy as his horn began to glow, both disappearing into the night.

Earlier in Las Pegasus

A magenta unicorn with harlequin eyes looked on at the brightly lit city in amazement, this was truly a paradise, and they brought her here even if it was for one or two nights she would make the most of it. "So what do you think, is it everything you imagined?" The pink alicorn's voice one finally of sincerity, Chrysalis' eyes gazed at the pirate ship hotel in wonder.

"Its amazing I've never seen anything like it before." The changeling princess ignored the stares of wonder as she hugged Cadence. "I can't thank you enough, for this I mean it."

"Well now that is out-of-the-way, I'm going to enjoy my aunts work tonight, Naruto I'll leave her safety to you." The alicorn giggled as the changelings 's coat changed form a magenta to a darker tint. "Now everypony give them space, the prince wants to spend time with her date." Her pink wings already flapping as the crowd gave her much-needed space, letting her take off flying on top of one of the building her gaze turning toward the stars.

Naruto watched as Chrysalis backed away taking cover under his wings, as he gazed at the crowd wondering if they were going to adhere to his cousin's words. Few photographs were taken of the couple before the crowd dispersed in fear of scorn from the alicorns. "So what should we do first Naruto, I mean it all looks so amazing." The changeling said looking at the various sights Las Pegasus has to offer.

"How about we take a tour of it, and find something you like Chrysalis?"

"So anything I want right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I want to go there." His eyes followed her magenta hoof, pointing towards a casino. "I smell lots of emotion in there so it should be fun."

"You are in charge so let's go." His hooves slowly clacked against the cobble ground, slowly entering the casino.

"So what can we do in here?" Harlequin eyes traced over the crowd, people playing countless games of cards sinking deeper into depression as the dealer flipped the next card over. Countless pegasus dancing on poles, all looking uninterested as stallions gathered around them. 'Where is it the smell of happiness?' Her eyes turned to a toweled unicorn walking out of an odd-looking door, his face one of relief, the smell of tranquility and peace wafted from him. "I wanna go over there Naruto, it smells nice." Her body already weaving through the crowd as she walked through the strange door her nose assaulted with the euphoric sense of peace.

The alicorn had only seen this sort of gaze once before, Rarity usually had an identical look when she was in the midst of her current project. "Chrysalis what's up?" Naruto turned away, staring at the earth ponies servicing countless equestrians in various relaxation techniques, from a simple hoof massage to hot stones it seemed they did it all openly.

"Welcome, how may I hel...oh my you're the new prince aren't you? I'm so glad you have decided to visit our luxury spa part of the hotel." A salmon pink earth stallion grinned as he rubbed his hoof across Naruto's wings, getting a shiver and glare for his troubles. "I'd personally see to it that you are...Treated with a delicate touch." The alicorn blinked at the stallion's strange behavior, it wasn't often anypony touched his wings, he would wrap his wings around some ponies that was just how he showed affection, this however seemed wrong though.

"Don't touch my wings."

"I see how about, if I polish your horn then free of service."

"No thanks."

"You have to let me touch something then, how else can I relax you?"

"Actually my friend here wants your services, I'm just here to make sure she has a wonderful time." Chrysalis paused was that all was actually here for to chauffeur her around and pretend he cared, that wasn't what she wanted. The changeling princess enjoyed his tales of bravado though they seemed farfetched at times, it was exhilarating to hear those stories, was it all a lie it couldn't have been she smelled his emotions every time they talked, only sincerity oozed off of him,so what caused this turnabout in his attitude.

"You mean this portly mare, I guess though it seems a waste when there are more exotic items out in Las Pegasus." The stallion's eyes followed the magenta mare, such a disgusting thing yet here she was with the upper echelon of society, if only he could fill those horseshoes.

"Can you get somepony else to help my friend out?" The alicorn's words were a bit higher than he initially wanted but the salmon stallion's reaction was worth it all the same.

"I don't see why, I'm more than capable enough to help your friend out."

"No it isn't that , I'm sure you could aid her in whatever she needed, but every time you smile I want to smash your snide face in. I don't take kindly to those who insult my friends in front of my face." She blinked as he said the word friend, did he mean it the anger radiated off of him was agreat start if he was telling the truth.

"But sir I can hel..."

"No you can't, Chrysalis here has only a short time to spend in Las pegasus, then she has to go back home. I'm not going to let some random stallion ruin her and my night so buck off before I make you." It increased as he kept talking, the air was full of anger as she slowly inched away being near him like this was suffocating the joy was gone and only hatred and anger radiated from him.

"Such foul language, I'll go fetch the supervisor then."

He turned back towards Chrysalis, her eyes watered as she shivered uncoinciously when his hoof moved forward. "Hey are you alright, that guy was an ass, he's gone though so come on we'll go somewhere else."

"I want to stay it looks nice here. Naruto it wasn't him that scared me, it was you that anger it was overwhelming, like you were pure malevolence." She shied away as he reached his hoof out to her, the anger disappearing with her revelation.

"I'm sorry, it's just you seemed so happy and I wanted it to keep that feeling of joy for the rest of the night."

"So when you said that your job was to make this night wondeful for me, you meant that since I would only be here for such a short time right not anything else."

"Of course not, I don't have any other reason to see you happy besides that smile, it suits you." The truth washed over Chrysalis like a refreshing tide in the bad lands. "I don't mind being pampered here, it's just that stallions eyes were creepy and he insulted you, then that happened." The duo never noticed as a timid earth mare walked forward, her silver coat shined deeply, her amber eyes gazed deeply at the two smiling it made her envious of the two's relationship.

"I guess, but were going to do something in here that you like okay. Maybe a show or something, it isn't fair that I'll have all the fun." Her eyes glanced to the left seeing the timid mare standing there biding her time. "Can we help you?"

"Sal said you were being rude, so can you please leave we just want to help other ponies relax here not cause trouble."

"Sal is the pink one right?" The mare nodded at Naruto's question. "He insulted my friend when all she wanted to was relax and enjoy herself."

"Sal can do that sometimes, but we can't overlook your threat of violence despite your stature."

"Its fine Naruto and I were leaving anyway, we wanted to relax here for a bit, before going to a show. Please have a nice day miss." The alicorn blinked at Chrysalis's change of opinion, did she smell something funny or did she just change her mind. His hooves slowly followed after her his head stilll in wonder about her what just happened, she stopped at some gate her eyes searching for something they could both enjoy together. "Lets see the Blue Stal Group, Chris Alicorn, and the amazing showie, which do you think we'd be a good show Naruto?"

"The blue Stal group sounds alright, but what's going on Chrysalis why did we have to leave?" He watched her horn glow with an etheral green glow picking up the show he chose. "Did we really have to leave?"

"No we didn't, but it wouldn't have been right."

"I don't understand, we did nothing wrong Chrysalis."

"No we didn't, but even so forcing something like that would be pointless. That mare was terrified of us, the only thing I smelled besides fear was admiration, and that was all I didn't want to make her fears come true so we left."

"That's so cool Chrysalis."

"My specialty is reading the emotions of others, most ignore the obvious and do whatever they want, I'm going to be different."

"I understand, let's go find us some seats and maybe you can tell me more." The blonde's interest was always sparked at Chrysalis's attitude it was different from anything he'd ever seen and he appreciated that about her.

Cadence watched them for a bit, the couple reminded herself of the dates Shining Armor and she had. The romantic candlelight dinner was always her favorite as the unicorn tried to do anything and everything for her as he bumbled around trying to please her. 'You remind me of him Naruto, that aura you exude is something I don't think I could resist if Shining Armor didn't approach me two years ago.' Naruto had a great heart she could say that at least about him, those eyes never reflected anything he truly felt at the moment. She watched the two laugh and talk amongst each other, heading off into some random casino, she lost sight of them as the night sky twinkled, her interest going towards her dear aunts work, a twinkle of yellow had caught her eye.

A brief flash of sunny yellow as two figures appeared on one of the casino's, the unicorn directly under the spider his hooves held on to Arachne's legs, with a powerful shake he was thrown off sliding across the concrete roof his hooves already bleeding from the barbs coating the spider's legs."Is this all you have, I expected more from a proud equestrian that spoke so highly of himself and those around him." It took its time as the unicorn scrambled backward his back hooves only pushing him as he finally stood over him.

Crescent stared upwards as the spider hovered over him the creature's mouth widening as his card spire skewered into the abominations mouth, brown blood staining the ground eliciting a laugh from him at its misery. "Buck you, and your stup..shit that things still alive!" The crimson eyed unicorn braced himself as the front left leg slammed into his body, Arachne's barbed legs tore gashes into the unicorn's stomach sliding him towards the edge of the casino's roof.

"See this is what happens when you oppose Arachne foolish equestrian, you are going to die not by my fangs, no you'll be a reminder to those princess' that I still live and their downfall is imminent." The unicorn expected the next blow to be his last, Arachne's right leg already lifted into the air, the scent of Chrysalis was the only thing that stopped him from being impaled. "I can smell her, that smell that alluded me for twenty years it's here and all mine now, you brought me to her let me repay that kindness by making it painless."

The unicorn laughed at the thought of helping the spider and whatever his obsession with Princess Chrysalis, the spider lifted him with his forelegs his mouth widening, ready to rip off his head. "No you got it all wrong, if I couldn't beat you I brought you to the only one stubborn enough to do the damn job." The unicorn's hooves pushed against the legs, freeing his and letting fall towards the citizens of Las Pegaus.

The unicorn expected his body to be riddled with pain, his crimson eyes looked upwards at the smiling pink alicorn that set him on a different roof altogether. "Are you alright Crescent, your injuries look pretty severe." Her purple eyes traced the wounds across his body, what was he trying to carry out such a reckless action, surely he would have died.

"Did you see it?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Changelings...spider...Naruto...invas..." She wanted more as he slipped into a deep slumber, blood dripping freely from his body, the unicorn was alive but she would have to treat him or he'd most likely bleed out, something she wouldn't allow even if he exhibited nothing but ineptness and the demeanor of someone who cared little for politics.

"You did well." Her horn glew with a blue hue as it enveloped his body the injuries slowly closing as she looked on at the city. "Shining Armor please be safe, and don't do anything reckless."

Author's note:So yeah if you are wondering the size of Arachne he's about the height of big mac stacked on top of shining armor. Since you read this chapter do me the courtesy of reviewing it.
