The Strange and Abusive Tale of Defect Reject

Defect Reject awoke with a sharp pain in his side and a splash of water in his face as he groggily blinked his eyes open. "Good. You're awake" said an unfamiliar voice as he opened his eyes to see two other changelings in front of him "Where... where am I?" he asked, looking around.

"Ssstill in the changeling cassstle" said the one on the left as Defect Reject looked around "More ssspecifically the dungeons" said the other changeling with a grin "It'sss a ssspecially ressserved place where enemiesss of the changeling empire are put and asss of now defect'ssss" he said while he kicked Defect Reject in the face sending him crashing into the wall with a broken bloody nose as some dust rose up from the spot he'd been kicked to.

Tears formed in Defect Reject's eyes but he didn't have time to cry as the other changeling came up and smacked his head against the wall making stars appear around his head and blood trickle from the point of impact "Rule number one defect!" he yelled at him "Changeling'sss don't ssshow emotionsss because we don't have them!" he said as punched the other changeling into another wall. He got up brushed himself off and licked his lips "The ressst of usss are part of a hive mind! We all follow Queen Chrysssalis'sss order and think as she does." he spat as he spat on Defect Reject and then rubbed it on his face "Which isss why we're here" he said with an evil grin. "We get to teach you how to be... more like usss" he said as he shoved him further upon the ground "We don't have namesss. Unless you're a personal favorite of the Queen or... a Defect. Like you."

"You can refer to usss asss... Pain and Torture" he said with an evil grin "Becaussse believe you and me" he said looking into Defect Reject's eyes "You'll be getting plenty of that. We've been told to make sssure you underssstand just what it means to be a changeling" he said as he bashed Defect's Head against the wall, with more stars forming around his head and his vision going hazy from all the head trauma's he'd sustained "Now pay attention" he growled at Defect Reject "We're not here to be your friend'ssss none of usss are. We're only here to make sssure you can be valuable to the Queen."

"Now let usss begin." he said as he looked into his eyes fiercely. "And if we think you're not paying attention well... Torture hitsss much worssse then I do." he said with an evil laugh "So pay clossse attention if you want to live." Defect Reject looked at both of them and nodded his head as he payed close attention to what they had to say. They told him of how what Queen Chrysalis said was true. They require to feed off of love in order to sustain themselves. The thing he'd transformed into... which he found out during his lesson was an alicorn. Leader of all ponies named Princess Celestia and she was the enemy of Queen Chrysalis as well as the biggest person that the changelings could feed off of. All of her subjects loved and adored her. Which is why Queen Chrysalis wanted to capture Equestria and feed off it's energy for all of her changeling army. To conquer the world.

True to their word as well whenever he started to daze off he was awakened. Fiercely and painfully. Pain hadn't lied to him. Torture hurt much worse. Cracking ribs, bloody body parts, new wounds opening upon old ones as they oozed puss and blood, as he screamed in pain from the abuse he endured with each hit. They also made sure to keep good on Queen Chrysalis's promise. He would know he was the lowest changeling in the whole kingdom. But she had already ensured that. All he had to do was look at his flank, remember the pain of being branded and the pain of everything in this kingdom and that no changeling, none liked him here. He was only alive because for some reason unbeknownst to the rest of the changelings their Queen had a plan for him. A way for him to be useful before finishing him off.

After they had finished their education of changeling society they left him alone for the night. Wrapped in manacles with no way to move as he was strung against the wall. All the broken bones and ribs in his body aching with pain as his wounds continued to ooze into the night, slowly patching themselves as best they could for him. They did at least tend to his broken bones before they left. A changeling that couldn't move was a changeling of use to them. They would take weeks to heal he was told. But that alone was more of a gift then he deserved. He wasn't dead.

For the next week he was left alone in the cell in complete darkness as he wounds attempted to heal and fester in certain places. He wondered what else they could have in store for him as he felt his body get weaker from hunger. Hunger? Didn't they feed off love? That was given to them from Queen Chrysalis? He wasn't sure why but he definitely was getting hungrier. At least for the week where he was hanging in the dungeon in the manacles he had time to think to himself. He really wasn't sure what to think though... after having being born and then being trashed and almost killed warped his mind a little. He... he was uncomfortable with the though but he felt as if he was different somehow... but he didn't know how or know if he really wanted to know how. As much as every changeling despised him... he did want to be accepted somehow... someway...

While he was in these thoughts he was suddenly smacked in the face with a hoof bringing his attention back to reality "You. Defect. Training time." Pain and Torture both said as they grinned evilly at him "Queen Chrysssalisss told usss to work on your transssformation technique. Give you sssome more practice" they said as they undid the manacles as Pain transformed into a pony. "Now." Pain said as he glared looking at him. He caught his breath looked at how Pain looked closed his eyes and concentrated on the pony he was now. He felt the feel of his forehead flicker again, as if peeling away skin along with the smell of smoke and brimstone again as he started sweating to keep concentrating as he heard the pops and crackles like last time and as if his body was about to burst until finally he was able to transform panting and opening his eyes.

"Good.... good." Pain said looking over Defect Reject and walking around making sure every part of him had been fully transformed. "And holding the form longer then the lassst one too... from what the Queen said you nearly lossst it as soon asss you had gained it..." he said as he pushed him over onto the ground. He was still transformed for now but for how much longer he didn't know... he could feel his consciousness slowly slipping away from over exhaustion of transforming... he saw one last thing above him before he passed out. "Looksss like you're asss ready asss you will be." Pain said laughing easily smashing his hoof against his face losing consciousness again from the impact
