A Changeling's Love to Hate
Chapter 1: Dying Dream
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThere was buzzing everywhere. The sounds of swarms and swarms of Changelings has buzzed right into the city to feast. They flew in from the west where the sun was setting, flying past homes and guard towers, not bothering to stop until they find a victim to feed the love off of.
Ponies residing in the city were panicking, screaming, and running for their lives. Many of them got tackled by hordes of Changelings, chuckling and laughing at their pathetic attempts to escape. Some of the Changelings even managed to corner the ponies against walls, leaving them as easy targets to feast on.
Some ponies, dressed in silver armor, were trying to fight back the swarm, but to no use. The shear numbers of the Changelings heavily outweighed the number of ponies in total, showing the obvious victor of this battle.
One Changeling, in particular, had a green eye for his left and a purple one for his right. He was different from them as he had something known as Heterochromia iridum. He easily stood out of the crowd of Changelings thanks to this, but it didn't really bother him much. The Changelings would identify him more easily like this anyways. Another Changeling was flying right next to him. A she Changeling with blue eyes. The both shared feelings for each other as they watched each others backs in case any enemy tried to ambush them. The Heterochromia Changeling's mission was to find a young pony to fillynap and convert so they could join the Changeling cause, as more Changelings would guarantee their success on their most dangerous mission ever, which would come up in twelve days; invading Canterlot. After they took control of Canterlot, Equestria will be all theirs to have.
The two Changelings flew just above the rooftops of the ponies' homes just to pinpoint a target for them to take on. As they flew, they noticed there were three ponies, a stallion, a mare, and their filly, running into their house to hide. "There!" The she Changeling shouted, pointing at the door that just closed.
"Alright, Night Wing! For the queen!" The Changeling with different colored eyes shouted. He dove down towards the door with his rear hooves first. He dove with a tremendous speed and kicked down the door with ease. As the door shattered, the two heard the scared family screaming with terror. The two Changeling intruders grinned as saw the three huddled up in a corner. The mare and the filly and terror in their eyes, but the stallion just glared at the two intruders and got in front of his wife and daughter to protect them. He had a determined look to keep the two Changelings away.
"Ah, a fighter! Finally!" The she Changeling known as Night Wing said, chuckling. "Hey, Dark Fang, mind if I have the honors?"
"Go ahead." The Heterocromia Changeling said, grinning. "But I can't let you have all of the fun."
The two Changelings with their menacing looks approached the stallion slowly. They crouched into a fighting stance, getting ready to slaughter him. The stallion, still not backing down, did they same, until he charged, shouting, "Stay away from my family!"
The two Changelings, being well trained for fighting, have jumped off to either side and allowed him to charge past like a bull, but not without Night Wing delivering a nice solid hoof to the head. The stallion was slowed down, stopped, and started wavering from the concussion to the head. The Changelings weren't done yet. The two of them both charged at the stallion and kicked him in the side, knocking him right out the window. The two Changelings laughed at the pathetic attempt of the stallion to defend what he loved most. "Oh please, that wasn't even a challenge!" Night Wing raised her hoof for Dark Fang to high five.
Dark Fang laughed and acknowledged her, giving her a nice smack on her hoof. "I hope Canterlot is a bigger party than this! This bores me!" Dark Fang then stared at the remaining two ponies. "Now... to collect the prize."
As Dark Fang approached he stared into the filly's eyes, who couldn't help but stare in horror. Her mother was also too shocked in horror to do anything. As Dark Fang got too close, they screamed, "Agh! Help! Leave us alone!"
Something switched inside Dark Fang's mind. He stopped immediately and stared at them. Why did he stop? What was going on? He wasn't like this at all, was he? He's a Changeling and this is his mission... but... the sensation of his throat starting to bubble stopped him. This was wrong. It was all wrong. What he was doing was bringing terror and sadness to these ponies. This is not what a Changeling should be feeling. Not for these ponies.
"DARK FANG!" A very loud voice thundered. The voice was really loud and echoed in his head. Surprisingly, even to Dark Fang, it terrified him. It terrified him even more than how terrified the ponies he was scaring.
Dark Fang turned his head in multiple directions rapidly. He looked up, he looked down, he looked outside, and he looked at the ponies he terrified. But what's even more confusing is that Night Wing was no longer in the house. She was no longer anywhere to be seen. Rather, when he looked outside again, there were no more Changelings swarming the skies. It was like they no longer existed. He turned back to see if the family was still there. They weren't.
When he looked out again, he saw the full moon. The moon was ginormous. It looked as big as a movie screen. He could even see the mare in the moon in it. Wait... mare in the moon?! was the only thing that appeared on his mind. It shouldn't have been possible. Nightmare Moon was no more, so why was she still in the moon? What is going on?
"DARK FANG!" He could hear the voice boom again. He got startled and dove right under the coffee table, shutting his eyes tight as if he was trying to take shelter from an earthquake. "DARK FANG! STOP NOW! CHANGE NOW!"
"Who... who are you?! And how do you know me?!" Dark Fang shouted, "W-Where's Night Wing?!"
He then heard another female voice. It was a much more familiar voice speaking to him. "Dark Fang..."
"Night Wing?" Dark Fang slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see the she Changeling back. However, something was not right. This Changeling did feel like Night Wing, but her eye color was telling him otherwise. They were red as blood and were filled with hate. And what's making matters worse? Those eyes were piercing through him. That deadly gaze was meant for him... and only him.
"Dark Fang..." The Changeling repeated. "I WILL KILL YOU!" The Changeling dove in at Dark Fang, baring her fangs.
