"Dainty Almond," Trixie's voice echoed through a dark clearing, "Dainty Almond where are you?"
"Over here," Pinkie Pie walked out from the bush she was hiding in, "Just making sure no one followed me." Night had fallen over the arena, and Trixie and Pinkie Pie were meeting in a clearing in the woods.
"There you are," Trixie answered impatiently, "Now, the curse I put on Pinkie Pie isn't going to last much longer. How are you on finding more changelings."
Pinkie Pie transformed into Dainty Almond and started pacing around Trixie. "I have discovered that Tena Nightingale is a changeling. She might be working against Celestia."
"Good," Trixie answered, "Celestia wants her killed. Whether or not she works against Equestria, she is a changeling. You know as well as I do that changelings aren't allowed to play in the games."
"I still find it humbling that Celestia allowed me to be her double agent," Dainty Almond replied.
"What about that Twilight girl? Has she found out your identity?"
"No," Dainty Almond seemed nervous, "I think she knows that I am a changeling, but she doesn't realize who I am yet."
"Don't forget to kill Tena Nightingale and this Twilight Sparkle," Trixie added, "I hope that as you killed Bright Darkness, you will not fail me."
"Are you so sure about that?" Bright Darkness walked out into the clearing.
"What?!" Trixie shouted. She looked menacingly at Dainty Almond. "Get her! I expect her to be dead when I get back!" Trixie disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"How are you alive?" Dainty Almond asked, "I killed you yesterday!"
"It's quite simple really," Bright Darkness answered, "Green Leaf is a changeling agent for District 13, or at least, he was." She took a short moment of silence. "I ran into Green Leaf when I was running away from the Manticore. He realized my predicament, and my importance for the mission." The first cannon sounded, and Bright Darkness' body showed in the sky. "We switched. Green Leaf became me and I became Green Leaf. The cover of the night made it even easier for us to pull the old switcheroo. Green Leaf was a great colt, willing to sacrifice himself to save me. And now, Everypony but you and Trixie think I'm dead." The second cannon sounded with Sweetie Belle in the air. No movement came between the two of them, the third and fourth cannons sounded. When the last cannon sounded, and Diamond Tiara's body disappeared from the air, Bright Darkness continued. "Would you really hurt me? A changeling just like you?"
Scoodaloo burst through the trees with fear shrouding his face. Hot Shot followed. "Hot Shot!" Dainty Almond yelled.
Hot Shot looked at Bright Darkness. "Isn't she supposed to be dead?"
"Hot Shot! Listen to me," Dainty Almond yelled. Hot Shot turned and looked at him, ignoring Scoodaloo. "It's time!" With that, Hot Shot and Dainty Almond changed into their original forms, they glanced at Bright Darkness, then Scoodaloo. "So Green Leaf is dead?"
"Yes," Bright Darkness said back.
"Then my mission isn't over," Dainty Almond ran for Bright Darkness, Hot Shot soon followed.
Scoodaloo flew away, as far away as possible. "This just gets too freaky," she said to herself, and the night continued on. With Scoodaloo flying away into a set of mountains, completely unaware of the flock of griffins, quickly flying into the forest.
Krystal and the stallion were forced to watch this entire predicament. "Bright Darkness is still alive!" Krystal shouted out loud.
"I know, I know!" Luna yelled from above, "This is supposed to be torture, not a soap opera. This time, you both will pay for your changeling friend's deeds. You can be two late entries into the games. From the Capitol itself! I can picture it now. Both of your dry corpses would be rotting, with flesh being torn out at the mouths of my monsters! It would be beautiful!"
"What?" the stallion shouted, "No! Please don't!"
"Too late!" Luna said, "I've already made up my mind. I'll send you in right now, right as the fun begins!"
The stallion and Krystal were both knocked out, and when they awoke, they found themselves on two platforms surrounding the cornucopia.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! I wonder what'll happen next!
