Scene1 Somewhere beneath Ponyville... "Ugh where are they? They should've been back by now." Queen Chrysalis said to herself pacing back and forth in a large chamber. Two figures appeared in the doorway, one knocked its hoof against the wall to get the queen attention. "Oh finally your here, just leave us" she said waving one of the figures away. "Now" she said reaching over to the other, grabbing it by its neck and pulling it into the light revealing a changeling with a black bag around its head and bound. She took off the hood to look into the cautious eyes of Attentäter. "I'm so happy you decided to come back after your little... endeavor " she said smiling at him. "What nothing to say, oh I would love to hear why you decided to lose that fight and run away from us when we just wanted to talk." He said nothing, the queen smiled and threw him over at the wall on the opposite side of the room. Attentäter attempted to get up as his eyes raced across the room to finally settle on a coltmade river leading from one large rusty pipe to another. After regaining his balance he pulled on the bindings that held his hooves together. Queen Chrysalis walked up behind him, she kicked him over to the wall and placed her hoof on his throat. "You think you can just defy me huh!? you think you can just run away!? no not from me!" she said pressing hard on his throat, and after a few moments she let go. "You think I'm mad at you, don't you? well I'm not..." she said nudging him towards the small river. "You don't have to be scared of me Attentäter I'm not angry at you, I'm not even mad at that Chris fellow, after all he was just saving his friends." she pushed him closer. "Remember I'm not mad at you for losing to him" she moved her face close to his and continued "I just want to destroy you for being too weak." She pushed him closer to the edge and said "Do you know how to swim?, oh ha ha that was a stupid question, not like it would matter your going to be tied up." Attentäter looked down into the brown and green scummy water and back up at Queen Chrysalis. She put her hoof on his side at lightly tapped him over the side into the drink. She smiled watching him struggle to keep afloat and finally sink below the water before going down the large pipe. She walked over and sat on a make-shift throne. She put her hooves together in thought and sighed with "What to do, what to do?"

Scene2 "Uh huh, okay got that." said Twilight collecting various items and placing them in her satchel. "Oh I almost forgot!" she said walking over to locked wooden chest with a decorative pattern carved on it. She took a gold key out of her satchel and unlocked the chest. She opened it to reveal her element of harmony resting on a black fabric lining. She propped it up on her head and looked down to a small check list. "and that's everything." she said walking towards the door. She reached around and closed her left satchel bag. She turned back to the door and pushed it open to see Chris on the other side holding his hoof up to the door knob. "Oh Twilight, good I just came over to see you." He said "Yeah sure I've got a minute before I have to go." she said "I know I'm coming with you." "You"re what?" "Shouldn't I come with?, I mean these are changeling so isn't there a chance that Queen Chrysalis is out their?, I think I should come along to help." Rainbow Dash flew in through the door and said "Twilight what holding you up? we gotta go remember." "Yeah Rainbow could you just give me a second." Twilight snapped "Uh yeah sure sorry." Rainbow Dash said backing out the door. Twilight sighed and said "Chris me and the girls will be the only ones going." "But if something goes wrong I coul..." Chris said being cut off by Twilight with "We'll be fine, trust me we're more than capable of taking her down now." "I still don't feel right not going with you." "We'll be okay" Twilight smiled and walked closer towards Chris "I've been thinking about our talk a few days ago." she said "Oh" Chris exclaimed. Twilight hugged him said "Thank you for being worried but you don't have to." She walked over to the door and said "Now can trust you to stay here and not follow us?" Chris frowned, looked down and answered "No" "Well at-least you're honest, Spike could you watch him?" Spike looked up from the book he was reading and saluted with "Yes ma'am" Twilight walked out the door as Spike locked it be hind her and then sat down guarding it. Chris sighed, walked over and sat on the couch.

Scene3 "Everyone ready?" Twilight asked the others as they walked up to the cage, all with their elements of harmony resting in their heads. They shook their heads in agreement. Twilight looked to Fluttershy and said "Ok do it." Fluttershy walked over to the cage as the changeling growled and backed into the far corner. Fluttershy took a deep breath and pulled out a necklace with a considerably large ruby hanging on a steel chain. She reached in rather cautiously and put the necklace around the changelings neck just as it swiped at her, leaving a small cut on her hoof. She quickly pulled the cage door open and then leapt behind Rainbow Dash. The changeling waited looking at the open door, the mares and back again. It scurried from the six, after a few yards turned around and gave one last hiss until running into the forest. Twilight looked to Rarity and said "Okay now it's your turn." Rarity held her head high as an aura of blue magic surrounded her horn. She turned her head in few different directions until finally stopping slightly to the left of her. Rarity trotted off in the direction as the other followed her into the foggy treeline of the Everfree forest. The group hiked for a little over an hour, walking slightly closer to each other with each passing minute as the odd noises and moving shadows seemed to become more frequent the farther they traveled. Rarity came to an abrupt stop. The other one after another bumped into the one in front of them. "What's the hold up?" Rainbow Dash asked flying over to Rarity. "Well it appears we have a slight problem." Rarity answered "Well what is it?" Applejack asked. Rarity pointed down with her hoof. "The necklace fell off?" Twilight asked as she sifted through the grass, finding nothing she looked back up and said "Rarity the necklace isn't on the ground." "That's because it's underground." Rarity said Twilight asked "But it obviously didn't dig a hole, so there must be a cave nearby, Rainbow could you fly around and see if you can find a cave." "I don't think I can." Rainbow Dash answered looking up. "What do you mean... oh." Twilight said now noticing the thick canopy that hung above them. She looked around over to a spot that seemed to be a clearing. "Over there!" She pointed running towards it as the other followed. Twilight broke out of the treeline and immediately fell down into large ditch, coming to a stop at the bottom. She opened her eyes and looked down into the muddy green water she was sitting in. With "Blehh" she climbed out to meet her friends. "Oh Twilight your face!" Rarity said "Huh?" Twilight said feeling her cheek and finding a considerably large scratch. "It's nothing." Twilight said before becoming fixed on what was sown the stream. "Great now I can go and find that cave!" said Rainbow Dash about to take off. "We're not searching for a cave." said Twilight, eyes still fixed. "Huh what do mean...whoa." said Rainbow as she followed Twilight's eyes down the stream to a large rusty sewer pipe.

Scene4 Chris' eyes were watching the clocks pendulum swing from side to side as the ticks and tocks filled the silent room. He sighed laying back down onto the couch staring at the ceiling. Spike took another bite out of the orange gem in his hand. Chris looked over at spike and said "So spike" "yeah?" Spike said "Does Twilight ever talk about me?" "Sometimes..." Chris looked over at the clock then back to Spike and asked "Does she have another friends who are colts?" Spike began to sweat but still answered "Well I guess Big Mac is her friend, but they never talk." "Huh" The awkward silence filled the room for a few moments to be broken by Chris asking "Has Twilight ever had, oh how would you say it, um a coltfriend before?" Spike coughed on the gem he was eating. "You okay?" Chris asked taking a step towards Spike. Spike stopped coughing and answered "Yeah I'm fine." "...Well?" Chris said "Well what?" "My question" "Oh um, I, uh I don't think so." "Hmm" Chris walked back over to the couch and laid back down staring at the ceiling.

Scene5 Queen Chrysalis was pacing back and forth in her throne room when a changeling flew in. "Huh what is it?" She asked The changeling told her about the six ponies spotted in the sewer entrance. "Hmm tell all the others to get in the main hall. The changeling shook its head and walked out of the room. The Queen walked over to a shiny piece of piping sticking out of the wall, using it like a mirror. She pushed her hair over and checked her fangs before leaving the room and entering an extremely larger room with scaffolding and broken pipes letting water flow down the sides of the walls. Changelings were everywhere standing knee-deep in the pool of water on the floor, hanging from pillars supporting the roof, and on the scaffolding keeping considerable distance from the queen. She walked to the center of the scaffolding and looked over at her army. "Now as I am sure some of you have heard the "mane six" have entered our hive." She yelled "This, my swarm, is the chance we've been waiting for! We may have received some, undesirable, losses very recently, but fear no more because I have sought out the problems and... exterminated them." The changelings erupted with applause. "Now now we still have to deal with these, ponies, and I have worked out a perfect plan. They are in our tunnels, our turf, so you will all wait in the tunnels for my signal. Then we will ambush them, catch them off guard, and destroy them!" "After this victory we will lay siege to Ponyville with no one to protect it we will surely win. Then the princess will have no choice but to send her forces here, and after that she will have left canterlot defenseless where the swarm hiding their will takeover the city and then come back here to help finish off the rest of her army." "Well what are you waiting for, go!" As the changelings flew into the small pipes in the walls the small changeling ran in through the large pipe. It flew up to the queen. "Finally you've returned, come I'm sure you have much to, oh my look at that necklace!" Queen Chrysalis said pulling the ruby necklace off the changeling and putting it around her neck. "Look at that perfect fit, now come let's talk." She said leading the small changeling back to her throne room. "Oh I almost forgot!" she said she walked over and pointed to a group of changelings that haven't left yet. "You that Chris wasn't seen with the others, go find him and get rid of him!"

(One hour later)

Scene6 "Okay now it's a left up here." instructed the other as they made their way through the maze of a sewer. "Ugh this is taking like, forever!" complained Rainbow dash. "Don't worry Rainbow I can feel we're really close now." said Rarity "Oh no look!" Fluttershy pointed as orange glow from the sun's light began to dim and darken the tunnel. "It's okay Fluttershy I brought something to light our way." Pinkie Pie said to calm Fluttershy "Oh good you brought a flashlight." "No silly I brought fire works." "Pinkie I don't think that's such a good..." said Twilight as Pinkie Pie lit a match, now the tunnel was filled with darkness and the only thing visible was Pinkie Pie's head. She lit the fire work and flew off into the tunnel lighting up the smooth walls to then turn to bumps with bright blue eyes. The six noticed this as the fire work burst into a teal sparkle. Twilight yelled in the darkness "Pinkie!?" "Yeah!" she answered "Keep lighting fire works!" "Okie dokie lokie" Pinkie Pie said light larger and more powerful fire works down the tunnel. The other five prepared to fight the swarm they were about to encounter. A fire work soared past them and exploded to show the changelings flying towards them. The fire works acted like a strobe light as Applejack bucked a few changelings into the opposite wall, Rainbow and Fluttershy confused the few flying ones to fly into each other, Rarity shooting blue blasts of magic knocking some back, and Twilight being confronted by a large group of them. She created a purple saw blade and stabbed it into the wall send sparks flying towards the changelings making them flinch backwards. She took the opening created a second blade as she ran and sliced through them.

Scene7 The library had once again been filled with nothing but ticks and tocks. Chris was throwing an orange into the air, taking a bite in between each toss. Spike, still standing guard at the door, broke the silence with "Chris" Chris looked over as the orange came back down hitting him in the head. "Ow, yeah Spike?" Chris said "Where are you from?" "Oh uh someplace very far away." "Yeah but where?" "Um... Stal, Stalliongrad! yep I'm from Stalliongrad." "Stalliongrad that's pretty far away." "It's actually re-, I mean yeah it is really far." "Do you ever plan on going back?" "Well... no I guess not." "But don't you have family and friends that probably miss you their?" "Probably" "Why do you want to stay here?" "Spike it's not that I expected to come to Ponyville it's just I didn't want to stay in Stalliongrad, Ponyville just happens to be where I am now." "So you're happier here than their?" "yep" "Did you ever have to fight dragons or changelings their?" "Nope" "Then why do stay here?" "Because Spike, I, I wanted to do that stuff in Stalliongrad, so I guess I wanted to stay before I even got here." Spike found Chris' answer confusing and he thought about it for a few minutes before eventually giving up. He looked back up at Chris and asked "Do you like Twilight?" "She's been really nice but I guess everyone has." "You know what I mean." Chris looked over at Spike and said "Oh...yes I do I guess." Chris looked back over at the clock. "You want to go help them?" Spike asked "Yeah" Chris answered Spike sighed and looked at the clock remembering what time the six had left. "They have been gone for a while." Spike said Chris looked over to see him unlocking the door. Spike turned and said "Come on let's go see if there okay." He opened the door as Chris hopped off the couch. Spike took one step outside when a changeling leapt and tackled him to the ground. Spike screamed as the changeling opened its mouth revealing its fangs. Before it bit Spike a red saw blade cut through it causing it to explode in a blue cloud of dust. "Spike hop on!" Chris said looking at the several other changelings encircling them. Spike climbed onto Chris' back while he created more blades. The changelings waited patiently for Chris to slip up. He backed to the library trying to watch every changeling at once. Chris put the saw blades behind him and galloped forward, the changelings from every side leapt at him. Chris teleported away as the only thing for changelings to hit now was the saw blades taking a few of them out. Only one remained now, it was backing up into a bush as Chris slowly walked over to it. A red ring appeared around its neck and it was pulled down to the ground. Chris leaned over it and said "Now how about you tell me where you came from." The change made a gesture as if it was locking its mouth shut with a zipper. "Do you think I'll just get rid of you as quickly like I did to your little friends?" The changeling crossed his arms. Chris created a hack saw and hovered it over the changeling. "You know why I use the circular blades? because they cut through things so easy if just spin them fast enough. Now this hack saw here will take a while to get through wood or bone. Do changelings have bones?, let's find out." Chris put the blade against the changelings leg just as it started to flail around. "Okay so where did you come from?" Chris asked The changeling pointed into the forest. "Spike hold on" Chris said taking off and holding the changeling in front of them so it could guide them.

Scene8 The six walked through the main sewer tunnel into the large room with scaffolding and water lining the walls. "Queen Chrysalis!" Twilight shouted, the words echoed back and forth in the huge room. "That's it? Useless good for nothing!" the Queen said throwing the small changeling out of the throne room. "The scouts said they talked for hours you have to something else!" The changeling coward and shook its head. The Queen picked up the changeling and threw her down into the pool of water. The six watched as the Queen jumped down from the scaffolding crushing the changeling beneath her. "I suppose it was only a matter of time until you found me." she said "This is it Chrysalis there's nowhere to run!" Rainbow Dash yelled "Maybe for you it is." the Queen said as a massive roar echoed through the pipes sticking out of the walls. A massive amount of changelings flew into the room and separating Twilight from the others. Twilight began to run into the swarm of changelings but was stopped by a green saw blade flying in front of her. Twilight looked back towards Chrysalis. "I learned a few tricks quite recently, so how bought I try them out on you." the Queen said shooting more blades at Twilight. She teleported out-of-the-way and created her own blades. The two charged each other and had the blades meet sending sparks into the air. Before the two met Twilight teleported behind Chrysalis and created a purple ring around the Queens neck hold her down in the water. A purple saw blade made its way across the pool and just before meeting the Queen's neck she vanished. "Twilight looked around then after battle cry like scream she looked up to see the Queen falling down on her with magic green sword. Twilight jumped out-of-the-way and created her own purple sword. The two charged each other again, this time when they met Twilight ducked and ran off to the side. using the water to her advantage she slipped past Chrysalis leaving cuts on her legs. "Ah!" The Queen screamed, she looked over at Twilight now putting her sword in a defensive pose. The Queen jumped up out of the water and flew over to Twilight. Twilight created platforms and began to run away jumping from to the other. After a few moments Twilight stopped and faced the Queen. Twilight smiled as she flew closer and closer at a great speed with her sword out ready to attack. When the Queen got just a few feet away Twilight created a purple wall letting Chrysalis fly into it a fall into the pool. Twilight jumped down into the water about a dozen yards away. While the Queen was still rubbing recovering from the fall Twilight took the opportunity and sunk a several small purple orbs into the water. "Come on Chrysalis I thought you're supposed to win here right!" Twilight yelled trying to anger the Queen. Chrysalis got up and started to charge at Twilight with her sword out. Twilight stood still ready to spring her trap and finish off the Queen. As the Queen got closer to Twilight Chris and Spike flew in from a pipe near the top of the room. He landed near Twilight but before he could say anything she yelled "What are you doing here, I told you two to stay home!" "We're here to help." said Spike hiding behind Chris. Chris noticed the scratch on Twilight's cheek, he grew angry and turned to the Queen not moving out of confusion. Chris dashed towards her with his saw blades half way in the pool throwing water into the air. Chrysalis hid the sword behind her and created a saw blade flying a few inches above the water. "No wait, urgh!" Twilight yelled as Chris jumped over the blade. The Queen smiled devilishly as she cut down along Chris left leg while he was in mid-air. He landed in the pool a few yards away, the Queen looked over at Twilight, smiling she slowly walked over towards Twilight. Twilight was fixed on Chris not moving in the water, she looked to the queen just a few yards away. Twilight's face grew expressionless as she made the orbs beneath the water grow and bump Queen around to eventually bounce her up into one of the scaffolding and land back down on her head, knocking her unconscious. Twilight galloped over to Chris as Applejack bucked the last changeling into the wall. Chris looked up a little dizzy and said "Oh hey their Twilight." "Why did you come here!?" twilight asked shouting at him. "Whoa" "What is it?" she asked "Huh oh nothing." Chris said then fell back down into the water. Twilight now noticed the long deep cut along Chris' leg that bleeding quite profusely. "Oh no, somepony find an exit out of here!" Twilight yelled to the others while she picked up Chris and put him on her back. "Um I think I found a way out in here." Fluttershy said to the others. In side the throne room they all looked down at the floor and then up at the ceiling. Just a few feet from the makeshift throne were four small cylinder of light descending from the ceiling where four matching holes laid in a colthole. Rainbow Dash flew up and pushed the colthole out-of-the-way, stuck her head out and looked around. She turned to the left and saw the colthole was only about three yards from Twilight's front door. She flew out, landed on the ground and yelled "Seriously!?"

Scene9 Chris awoke back in the same hospital bed he had been in a few days before. This time the only person standing by his bed was the doctor reading a clip board. He looked over and said "Oh good you're awake I guess I should tell you how it went." "Huh?" Chris said a little dizzy. "Well we managed to clean up the wound as well as we could and we stitched it up. However seeing as how long you went with it being cleaned and how hazardous the material the material was that you were in were going to keep you a few weeks just in-case it becomes infected." Chris look down at his leg to see it wrapped up in bloody gauze. "Oh" Chris said falling back into the bed. "Don't worry were all sure you'll be fine, although you probably shouldn't fight any dragons or changeling queens any time soon." "Ha ha funny" The doctor began to walk out of the room and said "By the way you have some visitors." He walked out and a few moments later Spike and Twilight walked in. Twilight dropped the satchel she was carrying. "Oh hey" Chris said leaning over to hug Twilight, but before he could she put her hoof on his chest and pushed him back. She looked at him with saddened face and said "I'm really happy you're alright really but..." "Twilight if you're sad about what happened to me it's not your fault." Chris said "I know that, it was your fault!" "Okay wasn't expecting that reaction." "Why didn't you just stay at the library?" "I was worried about you." "Didn't you trust me when you were teaching me all of thoughs techniques and I said "I Know them"?" "Yeah" "Did you trust me when I said "...we're more than capable of taking her down."?" "Yeah" "Then why did you come!?" Chris looked down to the blanket covering him and said "sorry" "Look you're really great and I'd love to be with you but I need to know we can trust each other, okay?" "yeah" "By the way some royal guard took the queen to Canterlot Super-max just in case you wanted to know." "That's good" Twilight put her hoof on Chris' shoulder and then walked out of the room. Spike followed a few feet behind her but before he could leave Chris asked "Spike could you wait up a minute?" Spike stopped, walked back to the side of the bed and asked "What do you need?" "Just hang on a sec I need you to mail something." Chris said leaning down and searching through Twilight's forgotten satchel. He pulled out a paper, quill, and ink bottle. As he began to write Spike asked "How did you know that would be in their?" Chris looked down with a blank face. Spike said "You're right never mind." Chris finished writing, rolled up the paper and put it in-front of Spike. "It doesn't work unless you put a ribbon around it." Spike said Chris rolled his eyes and looked around the room. he looked at the bloody gauze around his leg and tore a foot off, wrapped it around the paper, then handed it to Spike. "Oh yeah much better." Spike said sarcastically before he took deep breath and lit the paper on fire.

Scene10 Princess Celestia was asleep resting her head on the arm of the throne. Chris' letter appeared above her. It fell hitting her on the snout and then the floor. She jumped up and yelled "I'm awake!" She looked around the empty room and then noticed the letter. "Another letter from Twilight?" She said walking over and picking it up with her magic. She pulled off the gauze and looked at the dry blood. She said "Oh my!", quickly unrolled the letter and read it.

Chris' letter:

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I will admit for the longest time I had thought that I would like it here. In the past few days, however, I have had to fight dragons, bat changelings with benches, "help" defeat Queen Chrysalis, and got sent to the emergency room twice. I have met some wonderful ponies here in Ponyville and made lots of friends one being your magnificent student Twilight Sparkle, and I hope to meet many more. I guess the point of this letter is to tell you thank you for having such a wonderful country? kingdom? pincessdom? any ways although I have been through things I normally wouldn't have to do where I came from. When I arrived here I thought I could do whatever I want, like I knew everything, but as Twilight has taught me I have a lot of lessons to be learned. Like I said "I had thought I would like it here" I don't like it, I love it here and I feel like it was just the thing I needed.

Sincerely,

your new subject Chris"

The princess grew a confused look on her face, she read the letter a few more times. As she read the look of confusion turned to a light smile. Princess Celestia rolled the letter back up and leaned over to the side picking up a quill, ink bottle and piece of paper placing them on the arm of her throne and then proceeded to write her own letter.
