Going to the Swampy Town for Freedom
"Alright, are we all ready?" Rao asked, turning around to see Ann and Thief along with their new friends.
"We sure are." Ann nodded.
"I'm ready to kick some Changlings' butt for messing with such nice people like you all." Applejack answered.
"Good, and you know what you have to do. Right, Rainbow Dash?" Rao asked the skittle hair girl.
"Yeah, I got it, but do I have to be the one that do it because it's kinda of boring." Rainbow Dash complained a little while holding a rolled-up piece of paper.
"Of course, we need to alert the King and Queen of Sand Land as soon as possible and now is the right time and I believe the Changlings won't be able to stop you given you have flight and incredible speed." Rao pointed out.
"In other words, you are the only one who can get this message to them as we'll need the King and Queen's support in order to deal with the Changlings should they try to make a break for it outside of the two countries." Rao said.
"Plus, you'll be able to catch up with us by the time we get to the big boss fight." Pinkie added.
"Okay, I guess it wouldn't hurt to do some message deliveries. It'll be like how I used to do my old newspaper delivery days." Rainbow Dash decided to go for it while rolling her shoulder.
"Good to hear. The royal capital is north from here which us normally a five-hour drive from here, but with your speed then you should be able to get there under half the time." Ann pointed at the direction to the royal capital.
Alright, time I get going!" Rainbow Dash ponied up and flew high into the sky and went into the direction of where the royal capital is.
"Time we get going to." Rao said as he gets into his car.
"The boarder to Hayseed Swamp is just about several miles from here, we should be able to reach it before sunset, next is walking our way through the woods to reach town." Rao said.
"Can't we just fly over there in the Z-Traveler?" Flash asked.
"The Changlings have their own lookout among the trees and can even blind into them with just their black skin to not be notice, they'll spot us if we try to go at them from above." Thief pointed out.
"Thief is right, the last thing we need are the Changlings to use the people of Hayseed Swamp as hostages to make us back off." Rao pointed out.
"I'm not sure if I'm that good with being sneaky." Goku said, he has always been more of an exciting and loud kind of fighter.
"Yes, the only thing that is going to give us away is your loud stomach." Vegeta mocked.
"Just do the best you can and see if you can sense any Changlings nearby as well. Knocked them out for a while so they don't alert the others that we're coming." Ann said.
"Like this?" Pinkie suddenly appeared right behind Ann and boop her head with a balloon hammer.
"What the…?! How did you…?" Ann was shocked, and then discovered the Pinkie had disappeared again.
"If there is one thing you wish to know about Pinkamena Diane Pie is that she is all about surprises." Pinkie leaned onto Rao.
"SUPRIRSE!" Pinkie popped out from under Thief and between his legs causing the short old man to jump with a scream.
"Don't you fucking do that! Are you trying to give this old man a heart attack?" Thief asked, feeling scared of this girl.
"Seriously, how does she keep doing that?" Ann asked Sunset whispering.
"Trust me when I say that you don't want to try figuring her out. All of Canterlot City decided to not figure her out and just say that Pinkie Pie is just being Pinkie Pie." Applejack advised.
"Anyway, we should get going." Rao started the engine.
The rest went into the Z-Traveler bus following Rao through the somewhat steady road of the sand, the outsiders can truly tell that this is something serious and important to them having the determination to free Sand Land and Hayseed Swamp from the Changling Clan once and for all.
Ann looks nervous, but she wouldn't let that get to her because she is determined to see this through to the end.
"Do you think we'll find my uncle there?" Ann asked.
"I hope so, the last time we heard from Prince Beelzebub was when he shouted that he was going to take down the Changling Clan all by himself and ran into the Hayseed Swamp, but we haven't heard anything from him in the last three months." Thief said, also worried for the prince.
"Yeah, it's very odd that Beelze have been gone for this long from the town. So, we can only assure that something happened to him." Rao feared a little.
"He's not dead, I'm sure of it." Ann refused to believe that her uncle is dead.
"I'm not saying that. He's always been too stubborn to die." Rao said.
The group are driving through the several miles on the road heading for the boarder of Hayseed Swamp to cross over, but then flying boulders came in crashing on the ground blocking their path.
"What just happened?" Nijuuichi asked shock.
"Oh no, not them." Rao groaned in annoyance.
"Looks like we got ourselves something nice, boys. Let's take them apart and sell their scarp for money!" A bandit leader shouted and his men shouted as well.
"The Diamond Bandits! Now of all times to attack us." Ann hoped they wouldn't have to run into trouble.
"Alright, you motherfuckers! You all have until the count of three to leave your cars or else you'll get a beating of your life." The Diamond Bandit Leader demanded.
"Oh dear, we're being attack by bandits!" Rarity gasped.
"Something tells me they're not gonna be scared off by the sight of girls like Yamcha was." Bulma remembered when one of her old friends and ex-boyfriend Yamcha being afraid of girls.
"Let just beat them up and be on our way." Vegeta said, feeling this is wasting their time.
"I got a better idea!" Pinkie smiled widely.
"Listen, we really don't have time for this. We're going to Hayseed Swamp to put an end to the Changling Clan today." Rao said.
But hearing that only for the Diamond Bandit to laugh hard and mockingly at the old man for thinking he could take on the Changling Clan, one of them even fell on his ass and he didn't care for the pain.
"Old man, I don't know what you bad for breakfast, but that's going to come out when I punch my fist into your—Surprise!" The Diamond Bandit Leader strangely caught a present box that was thrown by Pinkie Pie.
The leader just looks at the present in confusion, wondering why that pink girl just suddenly gave him a present out of the blue like that.
And the answer came when Pinkie pop herself out of the box with a blue frosted cupcake.
"Double Surprise!" Pinkie smacked the cupcake in the leader's face.
Pinkie jumps out of the box and starts throwing a lot more cupcakes at the bandit leader like a machine gun pin him down and covering him a bit more in frosting while letting out an eerie insane laugh that is scaring the other bandits.
"I think you guys better let us go… Or else you'll be getting frosting in the eyes, and trust me when I say I know how painful that is." Pinkie strokes her arm holding the cupcake actually making the click sound of a gun.
The Diamond bandits look at each other for a moment then at their defeated leader who is still laying on the ground and groaning in real pain, so there was only one thing they could do right now.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES?!" They shouted in fear, quickly grabbed their leader, and ran out of the scene.
"Okay, that just happened." Rao said with both a shock and confused expression.
"That girl may become the death of us." Thief feared, and then got smacked in the head by Ann.
"Did she really just scare off those bandits with cupcakes?" Vegeta asked, not believing that to be physically impossible at all.
"Believe or not, that's not her scary side." Fluttershy informed.
"Wait, then what is her scary side?" Chi-Chi asked.
"You're gonna have to wait until Halloween to see it for yourself." Flash said, now that made Chi-Chi regret asking that question.
The group continue their way through the desert road with no more problems happening and they were able to arrive at the border line between Hayseed Swamp and Abyssinia while passing the sign that says, "You are Now Leaving Sand Land".
"Get ready, everyone. The road up ahead is a little bumpy and only about a 25-minute drive until we reach a space to park our cars then we'll go the rest of the way on foot." Rao informed.
"Alright, thanks for the info." Nijuuichi said over the radio.
"And be on the look out for any Changlings that are lurking around in these swampy woods, those bastards won't be happy to know we're here." Rao added.
"I think it should be them worrying about their own lives." Nijuuichi said.
The group continue with traveling through the bumpy road while they look around seeing the swamp itself that it looks dark and a little gross, Sunset even commented that there is a dangerous forest back in Equestria that was known for strange things to happen there including legends of ghosts and such.
They drive past a sign that says, "Welcome to Hayseed Swamp" and soon, the two vehicles arrived at the open space for Rao to park his car and Nijuuichi to place the bus back into capsule form.
"Now we just need to wait a little bit for our contact to be here and guide us to the town." Rao said.
"You already have someone come get us?" Rarity asked in surprise.
"Yep, Sand Land and Hayseed Swamp have been allies to each other for a long time. You could say around the time when the Rainbow Balls were used to bring water to Sand Land." Rao explained.
"And there is one friend who is very trustful, even when her rhyming can be a little hard to understand." Ann mentioned.
"Rhyming?" Bulma was confused on that part.
"And she has been fighting the Changling Clan for a long time too, so she'll definitely be a big help to us." Ann believed.
"I am please to see you have such faith in me, which is why I believe this land will be free." A young woman said with her voice echoing from among the trees.
"Ghost!" Fluttershy quickly hides behind Vegeta.
"Come now, Fluttershy, darling. I'm sure that was just this friend Rao and Ann were talking about." Rarity assured that everything is fine.
"Yep, that's Zecora for ya. She always like to test how brave some folks are." Thief nodded.
"Says the one who was in his prime being the sneaky, only to be outdone from something freaky." Zecora revealed herself in the opening, along with dragging two unconscious Changlings.
"Greetings new friends from beyond Hayseed Swamp, my name is Zecora and hope you are enjoying your time here when stop." Zecora greeted.
Zecora is a young woman with skin that is black and white stripes like a zebra including the mohawk hair, and strong cyan color eyes. She wears a fur golden-brown two-piece loincloth bikini, pairs of gold earrings, some gold rings on her neck and on her left arm and carries a bag stripe around her shoulder and hanging to the side of her hip on the right. She also has a black tattoo with white lines in the shape of the sun on her left thigh. She is also bringing along a spear just in case. Breasts sizes: J-cup.
"Zecora, glad to see you're okay." Rao smiled.
"Same with you all here. I had a talk with the spirits, and they told me that our lands will be getting help from the culprits." Zecora greeted.
"That's right, these guys here came before of a Sand Land's sacred treasure that the Changlings stole, but now they have come here to help us!" Ann informed.
"I'll only get myself involve if these Changlings prove themselves to be worth my time." Vegeta said, not interested in fighting a bunch of weaklings.
"Hmm, I can sense overwhelming power from you all, the two feel…" Zecora gasped upon looking at Vegeta and Goku as if they have just become giants that are bigger than the planet itself.
Zecora pants with sweats coming down from her face and fell onto one knee.
"Zecora! Are you okay?" Ann asked, hurry over to the woman.
"Such power, I had not felt anything like this in… Ever! It is like this endeavor has brought has Gods from the Heavens to help us." Zecora looked at the two Saiyans again.
"Whoa, do you think she senses our God Ki?" Goku asked Vegeta.
"Don't be idiotic, Kakarot. It's probably just our normal Ki." Vegeta stated.
"Rao, my old friend. I do hope these young men do not become our end." Zecora said to the sheriff, feeling fear of how powerful those two boys are.
"Don't worry, I can tell they are friends, and they don't mean us any harm." Rao assured the hermit woman with a smile.
"I see you took care of some Changlings yourself." Rao looked down seeing the two unconscious Changlings.
"Yes, they have been acting more than usual, and that only happens when their Queen becomes more high in spirit. In fact, they Changling Clan have started going harder on the town." Zecora informed.
"Then we need to get over there right now!" Applejack glared, feeling angry at these Changlings.
"To the town!" Pinkie yelled with a trumpet and plays on the charging music.
"Are you okay?! We were trying to be sneaky, not alert the entire clan that we're here!" Thief yelled in anger.
"Sorry." Pinkie apologized as she tosses the trumpet away.
"I think we're gonna need to split up into two teams. One team would fight off the Changlings in town while the other team goes to the Queen and take her down. Take out the head and the whole body will fall." Rao planned.
"And you guys gotta be careful with the leader, she calls herself Queen Chrysalis and there are some weird rumors going around about her." Ann mentioned the Changling Queen.
"What kind of rumors?" Sunset asked.
"Some proclaimed that Chrysalis can actually transform into any person she wishes to be with no need to put on the disguises, and just not the appearance. But also, the voice, and her acting skills are top notch that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the fake and the real." Thief explained.
"So, shapeshifting power?" Sunset guessed.
"Is that true?" Nijuuichi asked.
"We're not really sure, nobody has been able to see this power of hers… nor lives to tell about it. That woman always got the jump on us every time." Ann said while holding her arm.
"This reminds me of my friend Oolong. But still I don't think you need to worry about her if let me and Vegeta handle her." Goku smiled.
"Then there's no more time to waste. We march toward the Changling Queen." Rao said.
(Hayseed Swamp)
The Changling Clan are walking around the town being a little meaner than before and being on the lookout for the outsiders that was reported from the defeated one.
"Hey"
That shout got the Changlings' attention to see a big group charging at them with no sign of slowing down as they all charge through, everyone fighting off the Changling group with Goku, Vegeta, and Nijuuichi rounding up all of them from the town into one spot where Pinkie brought a lot of strong vines and seaweeds for Applejack to tie them up.
"You fuckers will pay for this!" One female Changling angered.
"Now we just need to find Chrysalis." Ann said.
"You want me, then here I am!" A woman shouted and a motorbike entered the scene with a big jump from behind a building.
"But you should know better to address me as Queen Chrysalis, Princess Ann." Chrysalis took off her helmet to reveal herself.
Chrysalis is a young woman with her eyes being moderate harlequin with dark grayish opal pupils, her skin is very dark gray, and her hair is dark cerulean. She wears a black leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders and sleeves, the shirt under the jacket is gradient from dark arctic blue to moderate green, black skirt with a silver-gray belt with spiked buds, black leggings with several holes, black leather boots with gray rectangle plates and stripes. She also has a black crown on her head. Breasts size: L-cup.
"Chrysalis! Your reign of terror ends today!" Rao declared, but the response from Chrysalis was laughter.
"Please, as if you could do anything for me. Not as long as I have the chief of this stupid swamp." Chrysalis mentioned with an evil grin.
But suddenly Vegeta appeared right in front of her and grabs her arm tightly, hurting her.
"You clearly have no idea on who you're up against. Surrender now if you don't want to lose an arm." Vegeta threatened as he tightens his grip on the woman.
"My, my, such a strong grip. Perhaps I can use that along with your face!" Chrysalis smirked and placed a hand on his exposed arm causing the crown to blow dark green, then they both to glow and then just the Changling woman.
She started laughing when her body undergoes a big change, literally because her appearance changed into that of Vegeta much to the Saiyan Prince's shock, and then he was punched away back to the group.
"Vegeta! Are you okay?" Bulma asked shock.
"No, I just… Hit myself!" Vegeta looked up to see the woman is now him.
"I can't believe my eyes!" Thief gasped.
"So, the rumors about her having shapeshifting power are true?" Ann was shocked, as was everyone else as well.
"Now let see how you like hitting yourself!" Chrysalis-Vegeta smirked.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The time to free Sand Land and Hayseed Swamp from the Changling Clan's evil rule by attacking the leader, but it looks like she has a surprise of her own for our heroes and it's a very big and dozy surprise that she can shapeshift into anyone she chooses and a little something more as well.
