Sit. A special changeling

It's been three days now. Three days full of fighting stress and blood. Every day the pit gets emptied by some low drones so the corpses don’t stack up in the pit. The cleaning troupe was just making its job as Sit and his now five companions were walking up to the room where the ponies were captured.

They were allowed to eat once a day when the pit got cleaned up but if they aren't back in time they would die. That is what the royal drones told Sit before. He knew that the drone was serious and didn't want to push his luck so he and his 'comrades' die in the end.

"Hey! Step aside I eat first!" Black was pushing away one of the three new member of the group. Sit choose them because he thought they might be useful. Since the second day smaller and even bigger changelings sometimes tried to get part of the group instead of attacking them. But still there were enough changelings and small groups of them who still were attacking them.

However the few that tried to get part of the group were judged by Sit. Black and Facet weren't allowed to question his decision and Facet didn't care at all. Black mostly looked at Sit shaking his head. Most of the changelings that tried to get in the group were rejected by Sit and some got killed. But he let most live and run away.

The three he choose were all special in their own ways. One was able to crush even rocks with his wings. They were extremely hard and also sharp. He tried to fight Sit but after Black took him down Sit made him an offer and he had no other chance then to accept and he knew that. He saw what happened to the ones who get defeated. The splattered and exploded corpses were laying around. The changeling planned to accept now and wait for his chance to kill that small weak bastard who hid behind that tall ass hole who got him out when he was off guard.

But as Sit entered his body and tortured him he started to fear that small strange thing without wings and horn that seemed so weak and gave up on his plan on crushing him.

Sit noticed that and left him after a couple of seconds. As he set himself together a couple of seconds later his face is a little concerned. He looks at the changeling that still lays at his feet and looks up to him in terror. Sit didn't want to scare him that much. He sat down in front of him and lifted him up into a sitting position as well.

"Listen. And listen well. If you follow me you will be able to get to the upper levels. and I don't mean the next level. I was promised to get to one of the top floors. And I will take you with me. You and all the others. Don't worry. You have talents and I appreciate that. Now. Tell me your name. I need something to call you.

The changeling looks up at him and carefully smiles. He was a little confused by the turn around of the events but he was happy bout the fact that he won't die for now.

"Uhm..." He thinks some time about it after coming up with this idea:

"Killer Wings." He seems proud of his name and looked at Sit with exited flattering wings. Sit had no idea what was going on and neither did Black but he didn't like what he saw.

"Calm down you shit. Your name sucks. How about...Floppy Legs or... Dull Teeth. Something like that." He snorted and spit out.

"Black please. Its okay if you don't like him or it. But he didn't do something for you okay? If we want to survive this we need to work together. So please go along. Your fighting power is really important but his Wings are also pretty useful. So please get along."

Black frowned but after a couple of seconds he sighs and turns away.

"Whatever. But I won't call him Killer Wings." He walks over to Facet who keeps an eye around for enemies and sits next to him on the ground.

"Hmm with one thing he's right. Your name isn’t the best...the Wing part is good...what about...Blade Wings?" Sit looks at the changeling who considers the idea.

"Hmm... Okay. Blade Wings sounds cool too. So well uhm.. And now?"

Sit looks at him." We wait."

Sit looks at Black and frowns a little.

"Hey. Be nice. We don't have that much time outside of the pit. so please don't make it even more complicated Black... Oh and Blade please be careful. You two too. I don't want that this group goes down just because one of us gets pissed. Let's eat now..." He says that looking down. He walks over to one of the ponies that are asleep and leans his forehead against hers. A couple of seconds later he is inside the dream. He does what he did the last few days.

He searches for the dreaming pony and shows himself. Then he feeds on whatever he gets. Today he gets fear. A lot of it. He swallows it down trying not to concentrate of the taste. Sadness was bitter.

It tasted horrible but it kept him alive. As soon he was done with feeding on her he got himself out of the dream. He knew that Black was watching over him but he didn't want to spent so much time in the dream. He needed to go back as soon as possible.

As he woke up a pretty harsh but not totally unexpected picture was before him. Black stood over the corpse of one of the two other changelings. Blood was dripping from his snout and its wasn't hard to guess what happened.

"Did he touch you or something like that?" Sit sighed and looked at the dead changeling. His name was Echo. He could perfectly imitate voices even without changing his appearance. Not a great ability but something.

"He tried to kill you." That was Blade. Sit turned around to him surprised. He and the other changeling stood some way apart and fed on the emotions flowing out of the ponies instead of getting into the dream. It was a slower but a lot safer way to feed.

"What?" Sit looks back at Black who wipes his own bloody snout off. He then looks away and walks out while gathering a little of the love lingering out of the sleeping ponies he passes.

Blade walks over to Sit and looks after Black who left the room, still having some blood in his face.

"I wasn't quick enough to react but he was. Echo was sneaking up to you and wanted to bite you in the neck but Black kicked him away. Echo bit him instead but he just grabbed him and bit him in the neck. It was over faster than I could watch." He ends and looks a little admiring but also scared after Black.

"I see... Well I have to thank him later. Now lets return." He looks at Echo and sighs. He then turns around and walks past by Facet who looked at everything the same time again.

Since Sit gave him some more braincells he got a lot quicker with thinking and talking. Also with his reactions and anything else. He still was much slower then anyone else but with his unnatural good eyes he was able to make up for it with seeing his enemies nearly in slow motion. He already was able to defeat 3 other changelings. Small one yes but still not to underestimate.

"Come on you three. Let's move... We have not much time left." Blade nods and follows. The other changeling follows too. Facet stands there for a moment focusing a little on one of the sleeping ponies and then follows the others too.

As Facet leaves the room he sees how a bigger changeling launches himself from the ceiling to attack Sit. Facet tries to warn him but he is still to slow. Blade is not.

He also noticed a movement above him and looked up just to see that e changeling even bigger as him jumps down aiming for Sit. Blade doesn't hesitate. He jumps up and opens his wings. The tip of them touch the changeling and cut open his side and even tear apart one wing. The surprised changeling screams in pain and loses his direction and falls to the ground, next to Sit, who jumps away and looks at the attacker.

"Thank you blade... I think I should not drop my guard again... but pretty nice reaction... You too Facet." Sit looks up to facet who just closed his mouth again and looks around searching for more changelings.

"What? I wasn't even able to say something." with his extremely slow way of speaking he sounded a little like a retard. He somehow manages to look down in a depressed way.

"No really. you saw him and reacted as fast as you could. Really. You're improving a lot. But now you should stay close to us." Sit turns back to blade who just killed the changeling who assaulted them.

"And thank you too. Your fast reaction saved me. but now we should really hurry...If we stay much longer we will be too late. Venom are you coming?"

The third changeling except from Sit looked up from the dead changeling. His face was empty. Without any emotional expression. He was one of the few changelings who didn't even bother with the group. He jumped into the pit attacking one of the biggest changelings. Sits group was in a very tricky situation back then.

A big group of large changelings attacked them. They managed to fight some of but there were just to many. Black was nearly knocked out and had a broken wing and leg.

Facet lost nearly one of his eyeballs with the thousand little eyes in it. It was the time before Blade entered and just Echo was there but in fight he was no real use.

Sit himself had some problems with protecting his comrades as good as he could. He took over the biggest of them and killed him. He used his body then but he got slowly torn apart. And the problem was not only his host body. Some parts of him were in the parts of the host body that got ripped of. He wasn't able to hold out much longer but that was the moment when a strangely slim but tall changeling jumped into the pit.

He bit one of the closest changelings and ran over to another biting him in the leg. While he was turning around the first changeling who got bit started to scream.

At the place where he got bit there were just small scratch but it seemed he was in great pain and after a couple of seconds where the attacking changeling bit three others he dropped down and was apparently dead.

After the slim changeling took out at least seven changelings he stopped his assault and left a bunch of mere nine terrified changelings who just saw how most of her companions got wiped out before they could even react. Black used that chance.

Despite his broken leg he jumped on one of the shocked changelings and drove his teeth deep in his neck killing him instantly. Sit himself also didn't hesitate and attacked the closest changeling he could get to and killed him as fast as Black did. The remaining seven changelings began to run and fly. They tried to escape the pit as fast as they could not looking back and screaming in terror.

After they were gone Sit left the damaged body and searched together his pieces. The slim changeling just looked at what happens without showing any facial expression. He waited patiently until Sit got himself together. He was improving and just needed half a minute and as he finally stood in front of his unknown saviour he took a step back.

"Thank you I suppose... You saved us from a pretty harsh situation..." Sit looks at Black who lost consciousness and over to Facet who also laid on the ground and tried to recover from what just happened. Echo was standing in a corner and didn't move much. He just looked around at the dead bodies of over twelve changelings. Everyone of them bigger as him.

The slim changeling just looked at Sit and turned around. He opened his wings.

"Was not my intention to help you. I had a score to settle... Now its done and I will move on." A cold voice without any emotion in it.

"Wait! Please stay! That was amazing right now. What did you do and how?" Sit talked loud and rose his hoof but didn't dare to touch the strange changeling in front of him

"Poison. I am poisonous." That was it. The changeling closed his wings though. He also turned around and looked at Sit with cold and somehow rigid eyes.

Sit didn't feel well. That changeling in front of him killed several others in no time and seems not even to be exhausted at all. Well he didn't do much. He just bit several times and and dashed from one to another but still. nothing seems to have happened for him.

"So uhm... do you uhm... want to join our group? we could use your talent a lot. Your fighting power is... immense. So what do you say?"

The changeling was looking at Sit from above. He was over a head taller then him. He stared at him for a couple of seconds. Sit started to feel uncomfortable and regretted to ask such a question at all

"Fine. I heard that I can escape this thing when I win a fight in here. And I did. But I also heard about that I get in the upper floors when I stay here for a while... And together with you it might get faster." he says all that with his cold monotone voice. He doesn't look away and Sit starts to feel so uncomfortable that he wants to just turn into liquid and hide in some gap somewhere but he stands up and manages to smile somehow.

"G-great! Uhm... What is your name? All here have a name. That on the ground are Shadow and Facet. And that over there is Echo." He points at the wounded and or unconscious changelings.

"Venom. Call me Venom." he says it without hesitation and walks over to a stone and sits down there looking at the corpses around.

Sit shivers and asked himself if he did the right thing. On the other hand he needed Venom. Black and Facet needed at least a day to recover nearly to full health and he and Echo wouldn't be able to protect them until then. Sit shook his head and walked over to Black to fix his wounds.

The four changelings arrived at the pit just as the last few corpses got carried out. in the last day there weren't many changelings who challenged them. Since Venom was there most changelings stood away from the pit. Most that came there wanted to get part of the group all were talking about.

"Looks like we made it in time. Oh look there is Black." Sit jumps down into the put softening himself just before he hit the ground to not get himself damaged.

"Hey uhm Black... Thank you. And I'm sorry."

Black looks up from the ground.

"Huh? Oh never mind. my job to protect you. If you die I would be alone with Venom, Blade and Facet... Facet is okay but Blade and Venom are... I don't know... Anyway. How long do we have to stay here until we get out?

"In two hours just three more days..."

"Great, Then I will take a nap. Wake me up when there is action." Black walked to a corner in the pit and laid down. After a couple of minutes he started to snort soundly.

"Wow...that he can actually sleep... Well just three more days... Lets get this over" Sit looked up out of the pit.

three more days
