Ch2. An Absence of Apple Bloom

"Twilight, My whole body is shaking! That means a big doozy is gonna happen! Do you remember last time when the doozy happened and there was a hydra and we thought that was the doozy but we realized it wasn't and you caught on fire and then you sai- mph mph!" Twilight stuffed her hoof in Pinkie's mouth.

"Yes, Pinkie, I remember." Said Twilight. "But with all the storms and everything, I'm lead to believe that this time, the 'doozy' isn't going to be anything good." Almost immediately after Twilight was done talking, a scream pierced the night.

"Somepony, anypony, help!" it was the southern accented voice of Apple Bloom, and it was fading. Fast. Pinkie and Twilight exchanged worried looks before dashing outside. Right as the got out the door, they say an orange pony with a yellow run swiftly by.

"Get back here with my sister, ya varmint!" yelled Applejack. Twilight looked up, and what she saw was not a pretty sight. Flying towards the Everfree Forest was a changeling carrying apple bloom. Pinkie gulped.

"Twilight, thank goodness!" Yelled Applejack frantically "Think you can use yer magic to get 'Bloom down?"

"I-I'll try" said Twilight. She began to concentrate. Right as she was firing a levitation spell to hold the changeling in place, she was knocked to the side by Pinkie Pie, breaking her concentration, and causing the Apple Bloom and the Changeling to go flying into the Everfree Forest.

"Pinkie, look what you did!" Yelled Twilight.

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me yelled Pinkie, pointing towards the changeling that had knocked her into Twilight. "Oh" said Twilight quietly. Then she used her magic to render the changeling unconscious.

"C'mon, lets go get my sister!" Called Applejack you was already heading towards the Everfree Forest.
When they arrived, they immediately found the unconscious changeling laying about ten feet from the entrance of the forest.The kept running calling Apple Bloom's name until they came upon Zecora's hut. The knocked on the door to see if the zebra had seen anything.

When Zecora opened the door she said "Hello, it's good to see you again. Fear not, I found Apple Bloom in the glen."

"Thank goodness" said Applejack, hugging her sister "I don't know how to thank you, Zecora."

"There is no need-" but before the zebra could finish, she was interrupted by Pinkie Pie, who started Shaking again.

"whoa, whoa, whoa!" She said.

"Uh, oh," said Twilight, sounding worried "that means those changelings weren't the doozy!"

"No." said a deep, menacing voice. "I am!"

Ch4. The Scholar's Brother

"No" said the king, his eyes tearing up "Don't you remember!?" He cried. "No, of course you don't he sobbed "nopony does."

"I don't mean to be rude here, but I'm utterly confused." said Twilight Sparkle.

"Let me tell you everything" Said the king, and his tale began.

"I am your brother, but I'm not Shining Armor. My name is, or was, Skyward Sword*. About two years before Shining Armor was born, I was born. You don't remember me because when I was a little colt, I was coltnapped. Coltnapped by a evil unicorn, that I believe you've met, by the name of Sombra. So I was kidnapped by Sombra who was hoping that I would become his heir, once he reclaimed the Crystal Empire. His hopes were dashed when I bit him in the rump and escaped. The trouble was, I didn't know where home was, so I wandered all around Equestria, surviving off berries and other fruits and nuts that I could find, since I had no money to buy food from any towns or cities. I wandered around alone until I met a young filly by the name of Chrysalis. She traveled with me for years. We were always moving to a new place, until one fateful day, when we were attacked by a changeling who could smell our love. It was a changeling that was genetically modified to be able to quickly and easily convert other ponies into changelings*. It bit Chrysalis and converted her before I could save her. Horrified, I shoved by fist into the changeling's mouth, because I had to be with her. I was converted, but the two of us did not have hive minds, so we were quickly able to take control of the hive. So you see, I didn't have I choice whether or not to be like this."

"What are you talking about? You shoved your hand down it's mouth! Of course you had a choice.!" Yelled Twilight.

"That's not what I meant." Said Skyward.

*Buck Yea.
*I'll go further in depth in an upcoming FimFIC.

Ch1. "My Pinkie Sense is Tingling!"

Ponyville is a cheerful place. The ponies were kind, the food tasted good, and the whole place just had a friendly aura about it. Well, on a normal day, that is. This was not a normal day. The sky was dark and stormy, and no matter how hard the tried, the pegasus ponies could not clear the sky, which made them pretty unhappy.

Nopony else was happy either. It was too cold and stormy to go outside. Not even Pinkie Pie was happy. In fact, she was probably the most scared because her whole body was shaking and, according to her Pinkie Sense, meant that a big "doozy" was about to happen. Last time it was a good thing, but this time, she felt she wouldn't be so luck. She decided that she should go see Twilight.

After she finished watching New Moon, she realized that she should probably go see Twilight Sparkle. She ran out the door straight to Twilight's house and started knocking on the door.

"Twilight! Twilight! Open up! It's an emergency!" She yelled, The door opened.

"What is it Pinkie? I'm in the middle of studying!" said Twilight irritably.

"Twilight, my Pinkie sense is tingling!" yelled Pinkie. Then her whole body shuddered. Twilight, looking horrified, ushered her into the library.

Ch.3 Who is the King?

Everypony turned around to see a changeling standing in the doorway. But this wasn't any normal changeling, it was the Changeling King. We was tall and black, he had dark turquoise hair, a twisted horn, bug like wings, and he bore a resemblance to a certain royal pony.

"W-who are you?" Stammered a frightened Twilight Sparkle.

"Who am I?" teased the changeling, "I am the king of the changelings!"

"What do you want?" said Twilight

"Oh, it's not complicated, " said the king "what every other changeling wants, really." Twilight gulped. She knew what he meant. He was here for there love. "I sense quite a lot of it in this room." Said the king, glancing toward Apple Bloom, who squealed and hid behind her sister.

"You ain't gonna touch my sister, 'less ya go through me first!" Said applejack

"Oh, " said the changeling grinning "That shouldn't be a problem" His horn began to glow and Applejack ,Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, and Zecora flew from the hut. "Now that we're alone, Twilight, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"What do you want?" growled Twilight. The changeling glanced over his shoulder.

"I'm not like them."

"Wha-?"

"Just listen, I'm not evil like the others. I'm a converted changeling." he said, in a much different voice, one that sounded also =like the royal pony he portrayed.

Twilight's eyes widened. "No. No, no, no." she said, tears growing in her eyes. "Shining Armor?"
