A day at the ponyville beach ends in tragedy as Scootaloo discovers Ponyville is desolate and deserted. As she is spotted by the last of a final changeling scout patrol, she, Pinkie Pie, Bon-Bon and Octavia are locked up in the center dungeons of the hive's palace itself. Interrogation, torture and misery await them. But there is one changeling who sees the world differently to her fellow drones, and hope for all Equestria may rest in her holy (literally) hooves.
NOTE: The story is tagged mature as there is planned sexual intercourse and scenes of torture later in the story. There will be no mature concepts for the first few chapters, just dark concepts.
