I flew back to my camp and checked my saddlebag; one side had my preparations while the other held the things from my world. I checked my wallet and found that I still had about a hundred bits inside witch caused me to wonder about the exchange rate for currency. I knew that I had to go back into town and that one more transformation would be my limit.
I finally decided to become a Pegasus since my favorite character on the show was a Pegasus and I really did enjoy flying. Now that I thought about it, I really did love flying witch is weird since I used to be afraid of heights. I got lost in thought for a lot longer than I wanted to but I didn’t actually have the courage to go into town and meet Pinkie Pie since she would probably bother me a lot.
I did what I used to do to calm my nerves; I started whistling a song that has been stuck in my head for a long time. On earth I didn’t think I had very many talents but I always liked working with computers and whistling some songs. I wasn’t entirely sure what song I was whistling but I think it’s the Legend of Zelda Theme Song.
As I stood up to go to Ponyville something compelled me to go in the other direction it was something in the back of my mind. I transformed into a sky blue Pegasus with a deep yellow mane and a small star as a cutie mark. I took to the skies and flew away from Ponyville as fast as I could go almost as if I went any slower the signal would disappear.
I was almost too lost in my thoughts to notice the mach cone forming around me and my mind started racing again. Before I could formulate an actual thought about the unexpected cone it broke creating a very loud boom. I turned around and got to see the explosion witch looked the same as the show depicted except my trail was the same dark yellow as my tail.
It didn’t take long before the sudden increase in speed combined with my migraine from hunger to cause me to pass out. As my body shut down I could hear another loud boom behind me and I could also see my disquse flying off. The last thing I saw was the ground approaching a lot faster than I thought.

Underneath Canterlot Castle in the most secure room that will ever be created were two pegasi but one was obviously possessed.
“You are asking me to help?” a mare asked in a deep yet quiet voice.
“If I could do this myself you wouldn’t be here,” a stallion retorted.
“What do I have to gain from helping you? In case you forgot I intend to wipe out every living creature anyway,” she responded clearly elated at their ‘problem.’
“I do remember witch is why we are talking in this room,” he said unsure of what they could give her to get her to help.
“I thought this was an unusual place. Why are you so certain it would contain my power though?” she asked obviously confident in her ability to escape.
“The walls are made out of three inch thick metil and the door is six inches with an eye scanner that detects everything about the creature that tries to open it. If I didn’t have clearance I couldn’t be here,” he explained.
“What kind of metal?” she asked causing him to laugh a little.
“Not metal, metil. M-E-T-I-L,” he spelled it out for her and her face dropped. Metil is the most indestructible substance in existence, it is so strong that not even the all the guardians together could even scratch it. The guardians of Time and Space have enough power to destroy entire universes so it is very impressive.
“That means that even if your problem continues this room would still exist,” she stated in near disbelief.
“If you help me I will release the seal on your physical form,” he offered looking visibly horrified at his own offer. She was obviously stunned at his proposal since it was him that initially sealed her physical form.
“I never thought I would hear you say that,” she admitted. She composed herself before continuing, “It would be nice to have my own form back. I’m going to accept your offer, for the next twenty-four hours I’m yours to command.”
“Alright then let’s go,” he said walking over to the bunker door and opening it. They traveled up into the actual palace but before they went outside to begin the two pegasi got a shiver. The stallion looked around and found the disturbance in time and space, a changeling that was on a stretcher being pulled by two of the best royal guards but they were pulling from the front unable to see the prisoner being brought in probably for questioning.
As they walked by the unconscious changeling a purple aura surrounded his forehead where a horn would be as Kindo grabbed it in his magic and left a magical duplicate in its place. When the left the palace Celestia’s sun shown on the possessed Pegasus revealing her usually sky blue coat turned a blood red color, her normally deep red mane was a black color and her usually matching tail color was now purple.
The stallion’s jet black coat was dulled from worry about his marefriend but he also knew he couldn’t stay in that form and continue his double ganger spell as well as an illusion spell and attempt to fix their problem. He concentrated for a few seconds before he was surrounded in a ball of electric blue light but when the light faded it revealed an alicorn.
The stallion’s cloak was lost during the transformation revealing what looked like a purple tornado as a cutie mark but his mane caught everypony’s attention. It was obvious the reason he rarely revealed his very rare hair color since his mane and tail contained every color of the rainbow. Both ponies remained focused on the task at hand and continued to make their way to a very secret safe house in the Everfree Forest.

“Your prisoner should arrive momentarily,” a guard said to Princess Celestia. Even though the changelings haven’t attacked yet they are showing signs of preparing for war combined with a letter attached to Philomena warning them about an attack on Canterlot and Celestia was starting to worry.
“Good perhaps this one knows something more,” Celestia said as two guards walked in with a changeling on a stretcher. Celestia took one look at the changeling and gasped before asking, “Did anypony pass close by?”
“The only ponies that came anywhere near the changelings were them,” one of the escorting guards answered.
“No! If Nightmare gets her hooves on it then the changeling could already be dead,” Celestia loudly complained. The guards just lowered their heads in disappointment.
“I’m sure the changeling is still alive since he was with her,” Luna calmly said as she entered the room. Even though her bedroom was close to the other side of the Castle she still heard her sister perfectly.
“Sister, do you know where they where heading?” Celestia asked knowing her sister has been hiding things recently.
“I do but was ordered not to reveal what I had heard,” Luna said getting an idea in her head.
