Unknown Disturbance

This is what would have happened if Tyler had not come to Equestria.

It's what I referred to in the Author's Notes of Chapter 9 'Black Rain', in Falling Into the Unknown.

Note: Obviously, this is not canon to the story.

The guards quickly scrambled behind several large pieces of marble column as green bolts flew past them, impacting the walls around them. Several unicorns started to fire off shots when they could, trying to hold off the Changelings. It was a losing battle, as they slowly closed in.

Amber Star grit her teeth. Two days after coming back for leave, the Changeling just had to attack! Green magic flew through the air as the defenders tried to stave off the black bugs, but they couldn't last long. A unicorn let out a shriek as she took a hit, the unicorn falling to the ground, dead in moments.

Suddenly, a Changeling vaulted over the column. It quickly tried to fire a magical blast at her, but she rolled on the ground, dodging it. Amber charged it, knocking the creature to the ground. She quickly smashed a hoof into its face, the head hitting the ground with a dull thump. Another Changeling jumped over the makeshift cover, right next to her brother, Azure. It charged up its horn and fired.

"No!" Amber yelled out as she watched her brother fall. The Changeling seemed to slow considerably as she ran towards it, not caring for her safety. She rammed into it, the force of her strike slamming the Changeling forwards and into a wall, a sickening crack echoing through the hallway as it hit. She ran towards her brother, but before she could reach him, she felt something hit her, and saw a flash of green out of the corner of her eye.

Amber fell to the ground, raising her head weakly to look at the damage to her side. The magical bolt had gone straight through her armor, leaving an area of several bruising on her side. The worse damage would be internal, she knew. Those class of magical bolts always did their damage like that. She coughed weakly, and saw her vision start to decrease.

A Changeling walked up to her, looking down on the blue pony.

"Your kind always was weak." It said in its buzzing voice. "At least you will never see what we will do here when the invasion is done." With that, it started to walk away.

Suddenly, a pink wall zoomed across her vision. It slammed into the Changeling, sending it flying out of her vision, along with all of the others. As her vision continued to darken, Amber Star raised her last smile.

They had succeeded.

They had won.
