Chapter 1: what the buck
It started like most days, Twilight spending the morning in a book as Spike cleaned the the library. As noon came around Twilight finally put down the book Guardians & Hunters: the ponies that made Equestria. She tried many times to read this book in the past, but every time the book made more questions then it gave answers. Like the latest question 'Who were the "hunters" and what did they hunt?' She set the question aside for now and told Spike that she is going to treat him to a sapphire cupcake down at Sugarcube Corner. Without another word,Spike shoved Twilight out the door all the way to the store.
As he eat the cupcake Spike asked, "Where's Pinkie at? Normally when I come here she steals most of the frosting. . . .O-well more for me!" As he took the last bite, Spike fell asleep.
"Ok girls" Twilight said, "you can come out now."
"About time sugar-cube, didn't know how much time we coulda kept Pinkie quiet." Said AJ.
"Idefinitelywouldn'teathiscupcake! Itshisbirthdayafterall" Pinkie stated defensively.
"So, how long do we have dear?" asked Rarity.
"Well it would keep a grown stallion out for about five hours. So for Spike, being a baby dragon and dragons being naturally resistant to magics, we have about an hour."
"Well lets get him to tha barn in a jipy" hooted AJ
When Spike finally awoke, his eyes still shut, instantly started to apologize to Twilight, "Sorry Sis, I don't know what came over me."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPIKE!" every pony yelled as Spike finally opened his eye's. Spike jumped a good ten feet into the air out of shock.
"I, I think we, may have over done it a bit" Fluttershy said
"It's my birthday?" Spike asked.
"Well ya, why do you think I worked you so hard? I didn't want you to think about what day was coming up. I mean I had to tell Pinkie Pie, and the party was set, I had to find the ingredients for the sleeping draft for the cupcake (all without your finding out),"
"But why go throw the trouble of drugging me?" Spike interrupted Twilight.
"Well like I was going to say" Twilight put in with more then a bit of irritation in her voice, "It is not every day a baby dragon becomes an adolescent, now is it. Which means you will be getting your wings any day now Spike!
"Wings!" Spike shouted, "Wings, so ill fly soon?"
"yap" Big Mac stated
Spikes thoughts
At this the small dragon looked around to see Twilight, A.J., Rarity, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and his male role model Big Mac. Big Mac was his idle because he was calm, cool, strong, patient, and kind. Spike often dreamed that he would be just like that. He had even asked Twilight if she could tern him into a pony. Tho he did have an alternative motive.
Back two months ago
Spike walked into Carousel Boutique holding a bokay of "flowers", in fact they were hand cut (by Spike) jems into the shape of flowers. He was positive that Rarity would love this.As he walked up to her, her eye's sparkled as she saw them. Then her 'worst fear' came to life. Spike asked, "Rarity . . . would you do me the great pleasure of your company this Friday?"
"I would love to go out with you spike, but I can't."
"Why not? If its the day we can change it!"
"No, it is not the day. . . it's because your a dragon and i'm a pony, it would never work."
"What? Why?"
"Well dragon's are so long lived and pony's are not."
"So what! The time we spend together means everything!"
"Then there are the complications we would have."
"O, you mean foals . . . I guess I can understand."
"Yes that to."
With a puzzled look he asks, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing" her face a crimson red.
With nothing else to say Spike dropped the bokay and raised a hand as he walked out saying, "Thank you for being honest Rarity."
He herd her say in a very depressed voice, "If only you were a pony."
Back to now (Spikes thoughts)
Twilight had told him that type of magic was to advanced for her to complete. "This is bucking dumb! I have been born and raised as a pony, in mind and sprite! But NO i'm a bucking dragon in body alone! I've tried learning from dragons but my mind stops me! I am nether one, yet i'm stuck in between them!" Twilight could not do anything for him except a shoulder to cry on.
Now the party
Like any Pinkie party, everypony was having a blast with the party games. Spike and Big Mac were undefeated in the six legged race, well five legged in their case. They were undefeated because Spike would just jump on Big Mac as he sprinted. It was a cheap, yes, but Big Mac wanted Spike to win so it was fine by him. Fluttershy easily won hide n seek with the help of the animals. As they started pin the tail on the donkey it started to get dark outside.
"Rainbow!" They all called.
"What, I didn't do anything!" She cried defensively
"I thought you said it was going to be clear all day." stated Twilight.
"Hay ya it is" Rainbow said after looking out the window, "you should ask Luna about the eclipse!"
Dumb struck Twilight replied, "What the hay, the next eclipse isn't for another ten months!"
"Spike" Rarity asked, "can you please light us up a fire,if you would be so Kind."
Spike garbed a log and set it aflame.
"Wow, your breath has gotten a lot stronger" said Pinkie Pie as the flame slowly turned from emerald to yellow.
"Thank you" he said, "dragons develop faster then ponies you know."
"Nowaythenwhyareyousosmall? Unless...itsbecauseyouareamidget. Hahahano, butseriously? Okthen." said Pinkie.
"Dragons never stop growing, much like our mains." Twilight stated.
For the next few minuets the group sat around the fire telling stories, most of which were not of the scary variety after Flutter and Scoots were on the brink of crying thanks to a certain blue pegasy. When Rarity started her story Scoots interrupted her.
"Is it just me, or did our shadows just move?"
"Scoots its just a trick of the flames." said Rainbow in a Twilight mocking tone.
"Hay!"cried Twilight.
"Hay!" yield a startled Big Mac as Scootaloo dived under him.
"Not you to" Twilight pouted, "wait why is Scoots und"
"That's not a trick!" screamed Scoots
As they all turned to look where scoots had been pointing. Their shadows started to become 3D images of themselves. Without even thinking Big Mac charged at the shadows creatures plowing over the four small ones, destroying them instantly leaving seven to go. They pounced on Big Mac biting and scratching him. He bucked them all off in one try, he fell to his back, bloody and bruised. AJ, Rainbow, and Spike ran in. Rainbow plowing into her shadow, leaving it a bit lighter then before. A.J. took on her shadow and got a huff in the face for it. Spike went after the largest shadow, Big Mac, diving under the shadow and latching onto its stomach. His teeth and claws ripped through the large shadow, slowly turning a lighter shade. The shadow thrashed, rolled, and bucked but nothing could get the small dragon off. Soon the shadow turned to nothing leaving Spike to fall to the floor. As he looked around he saw the two Rainbows chasing one another in a deadly game of tag. The AJ's facing one another, nether trying to dodge the incoming strikes. Fluttershy and Twilight tending to the injured Mac ans the Crusaders keeping him down. Pinkie was just staring at her destroyed party, he pink main turning a bloody red. "NO PONY BUT NO PONY," Blood-lust dripping from each word, "HURTS ANY PONIES AT A PINKIE PARTY!" Out of no-were she pulled a medieval flail and poof she was gone, leaving only a dust cloud in her form. She reappeared next to spike, with her normal colors, huffing and puffing. Just then, all you could hear was wamp, crack, dong, and a pow as four of the shadows disappeared.
By this time Rainbow had her shade face-down, it was quickly fading as she stomped on it's head until it disappeared. AJ, on the other hand, was not having the best of luck. her shadow had her by the neck, quickly tightening the grip. AJ tried to scream and cry, but she could not as her face was shifting to a blue. Spike leapt onto the shadow's back, leaned forwards, and grasped the shadows mouth. With anger fueling him he ripped the shade's jaw off AJ. She slumped to the floor unconscious, wile Spike road the shadow like a pro-cowboy (cowdrake?). As Mac saw his sister faint, Mac lost it, he dashed to the shadow and garbed it's head, tucking it agents his body and with a sickening ripping and creaking sound, he tear it off.
"Twilight!" Mac yelled, "What in tartaruses pit is going on?"
"I. I've read a book before that that speaks of a spell that brings shadows to life. Let me think. . .The sky's grow dark, sight of a of a flame you will see, shadow's strikes till all are dead. . . that's all I remember, sorry."
"How big do you think this is?" squeaked Sweetie
"I think it's over all of Ponyville, not just here." Rainbow stated.
"Everyone inside the house!" demanded Mac, to which no one disobeyed. As they were running, Mac went over to Twilight to ask about his little sis. Twilight said she was fine just passed out. Then he asked about a shield.
"Twilight I know your brother haves a spell, a shield, can you use it to?"
"I can but, mine only lasts 20 minutes, less when things try to break it."
"Put it up now, we will barricade the house up, and stay on the second floor. Hopefully we can outlast this thing." he stated.
7 minutes later
"Good most of the house is well blocked, now for the main door." stated Mac, " We even have another ten plus minutes before the shield."
"They broke the shield!" screamed Twilight.
"I thought you said 20 not 7 minutes" yelled Mac.
"I said less if ponies tried to brake it!" she yelled back.
"Just keep working ill hold them off." He stated as he walked out the door.
"But darling you be killed!" Rarity said as she tried to fallow. She ended up getting a door to the face as Mac closed it. "Yap" was all he said.
Big Mac sat outside the door looking down the road, knowing that he had to buy time for the others to have a chance. 'This spell haves to end soon, theirs no way anypony can have that much magic not even Twilight.' He could hear hammers pounding away inside, 'well no going back now'. Then he saw them a small army of blackness, 'well I wish I had a weapon'. 'One, two, three' he started to count '29, and 30 well we could hardly defend against nine. I just hope they will be alright.' By this time the horde was ten feat away. Mac charged the first one, with the hitting power of a truck, the shadow disappeared. As fast as he could he rolled out of the way as two of them tried to get a quick hit in. Running from the group, 'Just like dad taught me' Mac thought 'Son if you EVER get into a fight ageist a group, run. This way the group slowly becomes more of a one on one fight as the rest of them try to ketch up to you'. Mac looked back only to see five chasing as the other 24 kept going to the house. 'Shit their after the girls!' Mac thought as he stopped just inches before the fastest shade. Bracing himself he delivered a brutal buck to the face, the shade dropped and faded away. As he turned to face the four left, another jumped at him. This one of a filly not much bigger then his little sis, with a swift swat of his for-hoof the shadow disintegrated. 'Thank Luna, that these things are not all the same'. 'Shit' he could hear the door getting hit as the shadows tried to enter. Deciding that the door would not last much longer, Mac sprinted towards the large group leaving the other tree shades to fallow.
Inside the house as Mac finished the third one
AJ finally awoke in her bed. "That was one doozy nightmare ".
"AJ! about time u get up!" Rainbow yelled.
"That was real!?!"
"AAAaaa....da"
AJ looked around the room and saw everyone: 'the CMC were in a corner crying, Twilight was in the middle of the room saying things to herself Spike and Pinkie were at the window, Rarity Flutter and Rainbow were next to the bed, and Mac was . . . were was he?', "Wheres Mac at?" She did not get an answer back just a nod to the window that Spike and Pinkie wore at. As she go close she could see Spike shooting fireball after fireball out the window, as Pinkie grabbed whatever she could out of her main to throw down. "Hi AJ feeling better I see" said Pinkie so far Spike and i have got three of those meanies!"
"Thats good wheres my brother at?"
"Mmm..."
"Pinkie"
"He's out there" she said with a sad tone at the same time as pointing out the window.
AJ pushed Pinkie out of the way to look, just in time for Mac to dive head first into the group of darkness. without thinking AJ started to jump out of the window, only to be held back by Pinkie and Spike grabbing her tail. Soon Rarity Rainbow and Flutter joined. "Mac!" was all AJ could scream as she watched Mac got swarmed.
Back to Mac
'The only way to keep them from getting in is distracting them all' Mac thought. 'There's only one way to do that, yap. I only wish I could see AJ one more time, I just want to see shes alright.' Mac reached the group going full speed, he plowed into it making three vanish before he tripped. The horde backed away from the intruder of a second before they all jumped on him. fighting with all his might he got back to his hooves and bucked another before falling. 'This is all your good for nothing big brother can give you, sorry I've failed you all'.
"Mac!"
With the last of his strength he looked up 'Good shes ok, I leave the rest to you. Please don't hate me for leaving so many'.
May the creators favor be with you, Setten Sun. part 1 (back story)
Before we start, I must tell you that the color of the words represent a different language: Unicorn, Earth, Pegasie, Translated, Equestrian, other. Also the words are translated so you can read them. Unicorn, the language of Magic, for example haves about ten different pronunciations per word this gives them great flexibility at spell-casting.
"Setten, my dear, the other leaders and I are sending you off with two ponies for each of the three races" said Princes Platinum, the leader of the unicorns. She was a silverish color from noes to tail, with a scepter for a destiny brand. She's about 23, it is impolite to ask. "Also, you should wash up before the others get here. You look like you just got done training!"
"Why two? And I did just get done, . . . I am shocked you were not watching me like a hawk like normal." said Setten. As he went to the coy pond. Looking down at his reflection, he saw his normal 16 year old body: a light green top side, light blue underside, and brown main had all became drenched with sweat. 'I guess I do look a tad worked'.
Ignoring the last comment platinum said Well no one trusts the other two races so everypone wanted to send their own for this, without the others help. Alas the other two would not allow any chance for treachery. So we are sending two apiece, so that they may look after one another. Do not worry thou, you know these two. Also I know what you are thinking and you can stop right there!"
As Setten jumped into the pond, from the other side of the grounds stepped a sorceress, and a spell-warden. The sorceress was Reflection, she had a travelers clock on and her staff. Her brand was a staff warped in magic. She had a beautiful blue coat with yellow eyes, and a green main. Shes a quiet pony, until she feels comfortable with friends. Her age is is 19. The other was Silent Hoof. She had her small dagger strapped to her back and a light chain-mail covering her, even with that on you could still see the faint glow from her brand. Her brand was a glowing green blade. She had a black main and eyes with a deep crimson body. She loves to poke fun, she's 20.
"SETTEN!" screamed Platinum "You are in so much trouble, when you get out!"
As Setten got out he simply said "You know that I only do that to clean myself besides you, of all ponies, should not watch a stallion bath."
"Why, you. . .Grr, you are always so BRASH!" she screamed as she walked away to calm down.
"Hay there Setten, let me guess destiny still can't find you?" asked Silent
"You know destiny's got noting on me."
"Ya ya destiny can't tell you what to do, you tell destiny. And your looking at my flank again aren't you?"
"What" Setten said in shock "No, I mean never!" 'her glow always captivates me to the point I forget to look away'
"You know" she stated "We could always go somewhere more private, if you want a better look." as she finished talking a misteevus grin flashes across he face.
"No, no I'm good."
"O, thats no fun" she said while lowering her head and giving him a small pout.
"No! I know what you do to stallions! Besides don't you go for mares anyway?"
As she got close, she brushed up against Setten as she teased "I like both, but I do think I would prefer stallions. And those stallions should not have tried to force themselves on me. You no what they say about a stallions horn, and I like your's. Besides don't you want to be my first stallion?" As she passed him, she made sure to give him a swat to the face with her tail.
"Leave Setten alone!" said Reflection "Just look at his face! It's plum colored now!"
"Thank you Reflection, that means allot to me." Setten happily commented.
"I'll leave alright" she called back, her horn starting to glow "But he's coming with" her magic starting to drag Setten behind her.
"You can see he wants you to stop. . .don't make me fight you."
"Mmm, you want to join us?"
"Ya, ok" Reflection said as her horn started to glow as well.
The two together were strong enough to pull Setten across the field right past Platinum. "A little help?" Setten asked with pleading eyes.
"You are their leader, you stop them. So as their leader, you need to put them in their place."
"So you wont help?"
"Sweat-hart, you already have two very fine mares, do you truly think you can handle a third?"
"Not that kind of help!"
Just then three very loud booms were heard, as everypony looked up, to see where the noise originated. Three quick objects hit the ground creating a large dust cloud. As the wind picked up, the dust blew away to reveal Commander Hurricane and two other pegasie. Hurricane was a gray, with the exception of a wight main, he had a wicked arrow encased in a twister as his brand. Hes a middle aged Stallion around 35, thou it is said he has only gotten better. All three had the normal pegasie armor, Cloud steel . This steel is extremely lightwaight and durabil, that can hold its edge longer then mithril, the best thing is that pegasie can manipulate the material like they would a cloud. The armor is in actuality just a helm, a band down ether side and legs with a sharpened bar that is attached to their wing.
"There shell not be any of that now." Hurricane stated.
"What?" all the unicorns asked, except Setten.
"He said that he will not allow you two to continue." Setten clarified happily.
"A little help Setten?" asked Hurricane, this time not understanding.
"One second Hurricane." said Setten "Reflection would you please put up the translator spell?" he asked.
Her horn lit up and a translucent bubble Sensurround her with a ten foot radius. "Is that better?"
"Very much so, thank you." said Hurricane giving her a fast bow, before turning to Setten "Setten Sun, it has been ages since we last raced!"
"Two days hardly make an age my friend." corrected Setten, mentally laughing, 'Like all pegasie, flying was like breathing, if they were not flying they were reminiscing about it. Even more so if they had a great race and Hurricane definitely fit that bill.'
"Two days! My god man, we must race SOON!"
"We will, when I return, besides we cannot let the score stay 1632 to 1632 now can we? And who are your two friends anyway?"
"Yes you have never met them have you? Well the mare on my left is Wind Bern, and the stallion on my right is Air Slicer. They are they are both 14. As for skill they are the best aerial duel team we have. Well that is after us."
Wind Bern is a mare that haves a orange coat with a yellow main, and red eyes. Her brand was a wind caught on fire. Her counterpart, Air Slicer, have a coat of lavender, a main of red, eyes that shown wight, and a brand of a winged blade.
"Sir?" ask the mare.
"Yes Wind what the matter?" Hurricane questioned.
"Are you implying that this Unicorn is a greater fighter then me or Slicer?" said a very pissed off Wind.
"I have said no such thing" a grin forming on his face "but if he does not play with the both of you, you two would die if you face him."
"No offence sir, but I can take any unicorn."
"Well now, why don't you prove it then? Setten you don't mind right?"
With an irritated tone Setten replied "So you want me to humble her, fine I wont even use magic on her."
"Right, a unicorn that wont use magic in a fight?" Wind laughed.
"A mare that specializes in teamwork wants to fight one on one? That is just sad."
With a smirk she took to the sky's, she flew into the clouds. 'Basic tactic' Setten thought 'Step one: fly high into the clouds. . . check, step two: make your opponent lose sight of you. . . check, final step: strike your target in the back.' Setten simply trotted to the center of the grounds, and laid on his back. The sound of Hurricane laughing at the seen, as he remembered this very seen play out. At that time he tried to sneak up on Setten, but you can always hear the displacement of air if it is quiet. At that time Setten easily took Hurricane by surprise with a last second dodge with a swift kick to he's flank. Wind however used a different, much more flashy tactic. She broke the sound barrier, painting the sky with orange and yellow, pinpointing he location to Setten. 'Fool' Setten thought as he still lay, that is until he heard Hurricane chuckled "This should be good." Instinctively Setten rolled to the side as Slicer hit the ground were he just was.
"I was under the impression that it was her verses me!" Setten yelled.
"We are as one." Slicer stated.
Setten dodges again to the left as Wind flies back beside Slicer, Setten says "Thats a dick move, O well, i guess you realized that you cant beat me alone, you could have told me thou."
"You cannot get us to fight with one another." Wind laughed.
"Good, I wouldn't want it that simple."
Wile still in the air they broke apart on to ether side from Setten giving him a 10 foot gap. 'Using the most basic idea when facing one foe "Split Attenuation ": they will both act as weapons, so the victim dodges until he tiers out. The only problem is that they need perfect timing or they will collide. Besides this is meant to be air to air not air to ground.' Wind was the first to move, she dashed at Setten. As she cam in fast Setten, he stomped the ground ripping up the grass and kicking up the dirt then swiftly jumped to the side. As soon as he touched the ground he rolled back to were he was originally standing neurally dodging Slicer. Wind came in as soon as Slicer was out of the way, just before jumping out of the was Setten throe so dirt into her eyes blinding her for a second. That second was long enough so the next thing she saw was Slicer, before they ran into one-another. They both fell to the ground in a jumble of limbs.
"What the hay Wind!" Slicer yelled.
"Sorry! I Just have something in my eyes."
As Hurricane laughed he said "Well that was good for laugh."
"Sir! We can still win!" Slicer said confidently.
"Could you? Ok let us forget that he did not use magic, lets forget be barely moved, and let us all forget you just lost two on one! You realize that Setten did not beat you correct? You sealed your fate when you used an air to air attack. . .The ground beat you two." Hurricane had a very strange look of disappointment and of pure laughter.
"Hurricane could you please tell those three to come back under the bubble so that we all may here the conversation? It is quite rood to speak in a foreign language in front of your hostess." asked Platinum.
As the three combatants entered the bubble, "You" Setten piped in "Call them a great team?"
"Well they are the best we can offer, since we are stretched so thin. All because the pegasie are the only ones able to patrol the skies."
"So what are they first years out of the academy?"
"Actually they are seniors of the academy."
"I see no real world experience." Setten laughed.
"Thats why I'm sending them with you!"
"You are such a mule."
"HAY. . .ya I guess I am" Hurricane joked, as he turned to the to pegasie "Do you understand why Setten is leading you now?"
"Sir, yes sir" They said in unison, "We are sorry we questioned your ability's Sir. Setten."
"No no it was fun, but did you two learn something from it? Also drop the Sir I'm not that much older then you."
"You mean you should not judge a pony by the bread?" asked Wind.
"Well that to."
"Then what?" they both asked.
"You have to use your opponent's strengths agent them. Haven't they taught you this yet?"
"No they haven't, what do you mean?" asked Wind.
"What you had over me was A) a partner, and B) flight. So if one of you was a bit off in your dance you both fall. Knowing this, I used the ground to my advantage, since you are pegasie fighting a ground opponent is relativity hard. your attack patterns had to be mostly parallel with the ground, unlike in the sky where you can strike from any angle. Do you understand now?"
"Thank you for the lesson." They both said with a look of disappointment.
"Very insightful, as always Setten Sun." came a husky voice.
"Land Lock! Is that you?" Setten called back.
Walking slowly to the group was a stallion in his twilight years. Small in both frame and stature, but wise beyond any dragon. This was in fact Land Lock, though now he goes by the name Apple Pudding. . .he likes that name better now since he can no longer fight like in his youth. He was tan with a black main and brown eyes, his brand was a fortress. It is said that he, back in his prime, held back a Dragon armada singlehoofed for four days.Now he acts as a sage giving advice, and leading his people the best he can. When the treaty started he was overjoyed, he was the only one, he believes that all ponies can live live in peace. He went so far as to learn the other two languages (this is looked as a sign of sympathy/ In the other races learning another language is punishable by death). 'Thats a pipe dream' Setten thought 'the only reason the tribes don't kill one another right now is because of the abominations.'
As the three new ponies entered the bubble Land asked "Setten you remember Avalanche? And how many times must I tell you to call me Pudding?"
"I will never call you PUDDING, as for her how could I ever forget?"
Avalanche was a brown mare, with a rolling bolder for a brand. She had on the elite Earth Pony Armor, Dragon-hide, Stronger then steal and resistant to magics but still lighter then chain-mail. Her weapon of choice was the berserker greaves, shoes that had spikes meant for both damage and for traction.
"I am ever so touched my student remembers me."
"Not so much the face as the feelings."
"O... how sweet."
"By feelings I mean pain, anger, and despair. You loved to heart me!"
"It Shows I care, besides you've strong now haven't you?" she questioned.
"Well I can hold my own against anypony now."
"That a challenge?"
"No, just a fact." Setten said "Now then who is your friend?"
"O you mean Stone Cold? Stone introduce yourself!"
"Ya,Yes mam." Stone took a step forward wile shaking.
"Are you alright" asked Reflection.
His expression and demeanor changed instantly "I be fine" then he turned to Setten "If I may be so bold, I would like to fight you...if thats ok." reverting back as he finished his sentence.
"Not right now." Setten said 'Is he all there in his head, he seems unstable.' "We are to begin the briefing after that I need to get my armor then we will be off."
Stone was a blue/grey pony with a icy-blue main and dark blue eyes. hes brand was covered by his armor. He wore the normal armor of the Earthen tribe, platemail.
"Well then" Hurricane started "Let us get this over with!"
"NOT SO FAST" yelled Chrysalis, queen of the changelings "I was asked to lend some aid as well." Two changelings flew into the bubble.
"Changelings? Fantastic! Terrible shame that you will not join the Confederacy. So how did you know about our meeting?" asked Land.
"My, well Setten asked me of course. Speaking of which, Setten do you have the payment?" She asked.
"Yes I do, hold on one second" as he ran into the unicorn castle. A few minus of awkward silence later, Setten cam back with his unique armor and backpack. His armor was the same as the pegasie's covered by dragon-hide, and a unicorns helm. "Here you go, ten bottles of condensed emotions." Setten hands them to the Queen as he said "And five for the one you brought."
"Very good. This will sustain the hive for a few years. This" as she pushes a changeling in front of her, "Is number 818 but you may call him Com. As requested he will be the next leader of the hive army."
Hurricane pulls Setten to to side, to vent in privet "Setten! What is the meaning of this!?! They are Changelings! You know they cannot be trusted!"
"You know they heard you right? And changelings are our friends, just because they don't want to join the Confederacy dons't mean they want the abominations to kill us all."
"Correction, Chrysalis is the reason you trust them. Just remember She do not rally under any one of our flags."
"We need their help get over it. You know that their skills are very useful."
"I trust you, so be it. the faster this meeting finishes the faster they wont be here." The two walked back into the bubble.
"Take care of Com" as she shot a glare at Hurricane "also tell me how he acts outside of the hive-mind, goodbye." she walked over to Setten and gave him a kiss on the cheek before starting to fly off. "Do come over once you get back, we have not talked in a long time."
"So Com can you speak?" Setten asked.
"I,I,I speak" Chimed Com.
"Wait" said Avalanche "She was outside of the bubble, so why could we still understand her?"
Land was more then happy to answer "Changelings have a innate language ability. They understand all languages, and speak in a magical way that lets all understand them, that includes written."
"So the mission?" Silent asked.
"Right, come this way please." said Platinum.
