Disclaimer: I do not Own My Little Pony. I only own my oc's

"Indeed, I think you two would fit in nicely..." the queen of changelings replied as she gaze at her child, occasionally giving a glare at us as if to say what do you think you have there on you? Not knowing really what the correct procedure would be to do in this situation, I just did what came natural: I put the child down, smiled then ran as hard as I could"

"Don't look back! Whatever you do don't look back molten!"

"NO SHIT?!"

To be honest, we did make some progress as we bolted as fast as these legs could take us. I actually believed we could outrun her, until the truth of the matter hit us like a wall. And when I mean wall I literally mean a big green one that appeared like those old road runner cartoons, one second nothing and then one second I'm having and intimate encounter with it. And to make matters worse it stuck to us like a fly that was stuck to a spider web, just waiting to be capture and devoured as every move it does only entangles it further in its trap. So that's how me and my brother first had our encounter with Queen Chrysalis. Too be honest she was pretty much spot on from the show, she had a black mane with a green shell at her waist. anyhow, she engulfed us of some sort of green force field, turning us towards her as she stared at us in amusement, as our faces looked like that of a bug squashed in front of a windshield.

"Why would you try to run? I just wanted to give you my thanks "she said with a creepy little grin. Her eyes were actually more interesting up close, as they gave way to a turmoil of movement, as if her eyes were spinning inside its sphere, like a galaxy inside a crystal ball.

" we-well your welcome I guess, But I don't know what we did that pleased y-"

" WELL IF YOU'RE SO HAPPY THEN WHAT ABOUT LETTING OUR ASSES TOUCH THE GROUND EH?!"

I stared in horror towards my brother as he held a defiant grin. If it was one thing he always did perfectly, it was that he would always speak his damn mind without giving a crap about what the outcome would be. Call it a blessing, call it a curse all I know is that we had a now surprised Queen starring at him. I really thought she was going to comply with him, until she slammed him as hard as she could into the ground. " Maybe this should show to hold a little more respect when talking to a queen" He got up, coughing a dust cloud as I let out a small giggle. " well at least she listened to you. Could you please let me down, and please excuse my brother, you could be the president and he would still not care about proper manners." I'm happy to say that she was a little bit gentler with me than with my sibling, and after we were both sitting down, as to indicate we would not try to run off, I was greeted by a familiar little one getting quite comfortable right beside me. I looked towards the mother, making sure that this was not getting her pissed of more than what my brother did. She smiled. I was quite surprised at her sudden change of face, seeing her in such a calm manner. The only image I ever saw of her was from the show when she was trying to pretty much enslave everyone. This new motherly figure I was seeing was at the same time comforting to see as it was unnerving. "so, since were still alive, what did we do to get you on your good side? " She simply remained there smiling, her eyes on her little one." You gave this one nourishment " I looked towards the warm bundle, wondering how I even feed her. " I don't think we did, I thought they had to bite us or suck our blood to feed no?"

" What the buck?! Of course not, love is an emotion that can traverse different mediums of transfer. Why in the world would we need to bite someone to get love?"

Damn FanFics lied to me " I don't know but the fangs sure seemed to be necessary for something."

She chuckled for a bit as she relaxed, retracing her fangs in, revealing a normal set of teeth, well normal for a changeling that is. " there just for scaring others away, works usually too"

I smiled a bit before my brother cut me off "Still, that does not explain how we still took care of your kid, care to explain what the fuck we did?

" you loved her"

We looked at each other before gazing at her " We. Loved .Her?"

" pretty much, all a changeling needs to survived is to feel or be loved. Once loved, we can just feed off the connection given by the other. It's painless and the 'lover' has no repercussions whatsoever. "

"so why the hell did you try to invade a country then?"

She winced at Molten's comment, as if hit with a baseball bat to the chest.

"I had no choice! Ponies are the worst species I have ever encountered when it comes to an outside species. I don't even know why you two fuckers even are able to love one of us! I once went to Celestia 10 or so years ago. We were starving and I needed a place to stay with my children. There not mindless like you think they might be, there inventors, teachers, doctors, singers and whatever else you ponies can do. I was offering my service as to migrate to the country, to be able to live along side them without causing them any harm. However all she saw was our forms, our holes, our bodies and she cast us out like if we were some sort of monsters. SHE'S THE FUCKING MONSTER!" she was practically bailing her eyes out " so of course with no other choice I had to do with what I had. I saw countless of my children die of hunger, each one of them falling like flies when right beside us we could be fed ! So of course when I had the chance I took over her precious little princess cadence. With the love the stallion she was engaged to had for her, I could take over Canterlot and finally be able to help my children." She stopped to catch her breath, tears still falling out of her eyes." Then they had to ruin everything. I know what I was doing was wrong, but sending us flying out of there like just some measly insect was a crime by itself! Half of my children died from the blast alone! Many more fell after due to most of their remaining life force being stolen away from them by that very wave of magic. " she stopped crying, but not because she was not but because she had no more tears to shed, her green eyes now turned red. " We are so few now, not even a hundred. At this rate we will soon fade from existence." She stopped looking at both of us. " but you were able and willing to love one of my children, she was able to feel what a full stomach is. Who are you that could find it in themselves to love one of us?"

We looked at each other before Molten took this as his cue. " Despite what we look like, were not ponies. And were not from here, as in anywhere in this dimension " chrysalis eyes grew wide at this statement. " were humans. " she looked at us for a minute, not one of us daring to say anything further, until she broke the silence. " even if you are a 'human' you still loved one of my kind, therefore I don't give a fuck about what you might be " we sighted, relieved by what she said, I was petting the little one beside me. " however I shall like to know about you, as I don't believed we have your species here"

"fair enough" I replied. "However I for one would like to know were in Equestria we are"

"You're in the Bad Lands, a cursed place were the days are scorching hot and the night's cold as ice." She pondered for a moment before raising her hoof to her chin. "For somepony who doesn't exist here, you do seem to possess knowledge on events that took place some time ago." She gazed at us, a little bit more profoundly. "And how would you know that I even tried invading Canterlot. Unless you're lying..."

I looked towards Molten, not sure what to say, or is she would even believed us if we did say the truth. "Do you know what a television is?"

"No I do not" she said sharply, wondering what the hell I was getting at. "But I do know one way of finding out" She walked towards me, a serious look on her face. I was trembling a little as I saw here horn lit up. Without a word she touched my horn with hers. My mind went instantly blank.

There was nothing, a dead silence roamed whatever place I was in. I felt a sharp tug at my shirt, to which I owe chrysalis. She motioned me to follow her quietly.

"Where are we?"

"In your consciousness, your thoughts, your mind call this place what you want"

I stopped dead in my tracks. "We are in my mind?!"

"Again, I don't care what you call it. The only important detail you should know is that this is 'you' were in. In this place there is no lie and whatever I wish to know I shall." She grinned at that final statement; I however was not so excited about this turn out. I was going to give her a piece of my mind, but she apparently beat me to it.

"And no I am not reading your mind, or else by now I would have known all your deepest secrets." She smiled a little

Before I could say anything else, I felt cold. And then I just fainted. When I woke up I was back on the ground, my brother right beside me and the sleeping child still at my side. Chrysalis removed her horn from mine, smiling at both at us.

"If possible, I would be very pleased to bring this television here. It brings a certain level of entertainment we don't have here. "

"You sure that would be such a good idea? You saw what it can also bring right?" I replied

"Oh, I never said for them." she said coldly. "They would never get the humor of seeing a woman riding that large metal sph-"

"STOP RIGHT THERE FOR THE LOVE OF THIS INCOCENT MIND!"

"What innocent mind? Your hardly the picture of perfection my dear, even if your love is rather, succulent"

"I meant this little one" I said pointing at the sleeping child.

"Oh, right" she said with apologetically "Her name is Ninlaleth"

I smiled, looking towards the sleeping filly "how old is she?"

"She will be turning 4 soon. She was one of the last offspring's I was able to have. "She gazed towards the setting sun." It's not safe to be outside in this wilderness. Come with me, I shall offer you two some shelter. "

We nodded, without having anywhere else to go; this was probably the only option we had. And besides, I could not leave young Ninlaleth here alone, she was quite clingy, and I would hate to see her cry if ever we did decide against going with Chrysalis. Now the walk (or trot as I should start saying now) was surprisingly long, enough. I don't blame her though, as she could have just flown there if it wasn't for us. After what seemed to be at least one hour of trotting, we arrived at the bottom of the canyon, towards a small opening.

Once inside we were greeted by green flickering lights, coming from everywhere. The cave wasn't a dark damp cave like I thought it would be, it was surprisingly warm and cozy, to which they probably owe to the green lights floating around the cave. There were chambers all around us, about 30 if I could get a quick count. Before I could continue my investigation however, we were stop by an older looking changeling. He wasn't as big as chrysalis, his head stopping at about her chin. And in deep contrast with her, he was actually black and blue, his mane following her in some fashion, but with the different color schemes. He also had had no horn, but still kept a pair of wings, resembling that of a dragon fly.

"Mother, who are these two creatures you brought with yourself?" he said with a look of utter disgust at the idea of two ponies entering their home, if they could call it such.

"Calm yourself my darling" She replied with a firm yet motherly tone underling it. " these two here our are guest, and there not really ponies, but that's for later. " she smiled for some odd reason before flying into one of the chambers. He blinked for a moment, before turning his gaze towards me "you sure do look like ponies, except maybe that bucking eye of yours." I tried not making anything of it

"My name is Flared Minded, and this here is my brother, Molten Iron."

"The pleasure is all yours" he scarcely replied "my name is Valandil. Now pardon me I must go check on the young ones"

"Well aren't you a fucking pleasure for sore eyes"

"What did you bucking say?

"Oh nothing so important that the great Valandil should be bothered to know about." Molten replied with a grin

Before they could do anything to damage whatever relationship we were harvesting with the queen, I had to find a distraction and fast.

"Well this Changeling is not going to let himself be insulted by an inferior race"

"Did you not hear what mommy said, I'm not really a pony, and I truly believe you do not what to start something with me"

"Well maybe I do" Valandil said drawing himself closer to my brother, as His wings unfolded "me, you outside."

"Is that a challenge?" my brother said with a chuckle.

"No, it's a threat" he replied, his fang showing. If that wasn't enough we were drawing a crowd. From what I could see they were all younger, seeing that the tallest one here would be the one currently starring into a death match with my mother. He grinned for a moment, and as he was about to pounce, a voice that made the cave tremble boomed out.

"I WILL NOT HAVE ANY FIGHTING UNDER MY DOMINION"

Everyone just froze in place as all their gazes were turned towards the mother. Val just sighted and left without saying a word, resign to the fate that these two creatures would share his mother's household. After seeing him to his chambers, Chrysalis turned towards us. "Come with me you two, we have much to discuss."

Without so much as a choice me and my brother slowly trotted to her chambers. I felt the gaze of every changeling upon my shoulders; especially from the young filly we 'saved "upon entering her chambers I noticed it was really nothing special. She had one curtain that acted more like a door, and she only had a bundle of hay with a sheet she probably got from some abandon. In the center she had a rock, with a flat surface which probably what she had for a table. After sitting ourselves down we waited for her words.

"I brought you here for two reasons, first off is pretty easy to guess if you were paying attention."

"I thing food would probably be It." she nodded" but how can we feed and entire colony? Cant they love each other in order to feed themselves"

She bowed her head "unfortunately if they don't know love from someone, how do you expect them to love someone back? Even with all the love I give my children, they must be loved by someone else in order for them to grow strong and healthy. It's a little by what I think you call breast milk in your world." how did she even know tha-, oh right the mind searching shit. "I can give them what they need when their young, but when they start to grow they need real food, real love."

"I think we can manage that, if would be hard at first, you know loving an entire race isn't something I really tried to do in the past. But hey, it's like loving a school full of children, so I'm good, what about you Molten?"

Molten was however press by another matter "what's the second thing you want help with?"

She went quiet for a minute or so then turned towards him, locking his gaze into his. "I want you to help save my race, I want you to bring us with you" We flinched

"Wait, you want us to take you with us? Like where?"

"To where the humans are of course, to where you come from. In under 5 minutes you were willing to love a child that wasn't like you, that you did not even know!"

"Yeah, but not all humans are like us." I replied "most are idiots and frankly evil, they would probably hunt your kind down as some insane hunting trophy type deal"

She fell sadden at our response " well then what can we do? If we stay here, even with love to grow on, we will also just be hunted down until we are no more. "

I was saddened to hear this, but I could not let them reach our world, it was too dangerous. However I saw a gleam in the eyes of my brother. And that could only mean he was going to say something incredibly stupid to make everyone laugh… " I think I know a way for us to help you with that last one, ever heard of a Levistone?"

…or just think of something so incredibly clever that I want to smack him silly, which I did.
