The Duplicates

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Outside of Equestria, the place where the changelings reside, has grown weary after what happened at the Canterlot Wedding. The Changelings never forgot what happened that day, yet they choose to do nothing about it. They choose to do nothing because their queen simply said for them to not do anything, and to never go back there. Ever!

However, today that might change since a certain visitor came to visit Chrysalis, the queen of the changelings. This visitor looked like the changelings, except he more darker skin, red eyes, and a dark red magic aura when ever he would cast a spell if needed. His name was King Redfang, and is leader of the creatures that surpasses the changelings.

They are known as the Duplicates.

The Duplicates do share the same magic as the changelings, but do more than that. While they can change their form, they can also duplicate the memory of the pony they change into and also their magic and flying techniques.

King Redfang made his way to the place where the changelings live and noticed that all the changelings weren't like the last time he saw them. He then thought that while he speaks to Chrysalis he might as well ask what was going on here. He made his was to the palace that Chrysalis resides in went inside to greet her.

"Chrysalis my dear, it's good to see you." Redfang said, getting her attention.

Chrysalis looked to see who it was and saw Redfang. But before she said anything she looked away from him and finally spoke. "Oh...Redfang, you're here."

Redfang then noticed that she was acting like the other changelings and said, "You too huh?" Chrysalis didn't look at him one bit, which made him a bit angry. "Why are you and all the other changelings like this? I didn't see any of you like this the last time I was here."

Still not looking at him she thought that it would be for the best that she would answer the question. "Because of a certain..." Chrysalis then took a deep breath and continued. "...defeat that we all went through."

"Defeat!" Redfang then started laughing. "For the first time ever, you changelings have finally been defeated! By who?" Chrysalis then muttered who defeated her silently. "Sorry what was that?"

"bytheponies."

Getting a bit more angry he he said, "Speak up! You were defeated by who?"

She then shouted, "BY THE PONIES!"

Redfang couldn't believe what he heard. The changelings were defeated by ponies, the creatures that only care about friendship and harmony. "You mean to tell me that you were defeated by ponies."

"You don't understand."

"I bet I wouldn't. Why don't you tell me what happened." After that Chrysalis then explained everything that went on during the Canterlot Wedding. Everything that she planned, The things that happened to Twilight when she accused her of being evil, and how they were defeated. After putting all of that together Redfang then started laughing. "Well now I see how you were all defeated."

"What do you mean?" Chrysalis asked.

"If you were to stay in character you would have had them defeated instead of you. But you had to go ahead and go and act the way you usually do." He then said something that really got on Chrysalis's nerves. "Not that you would even have a change at doing something like that."

"Excuse me?" Chrysalis asked getting angrier.

"If the duplicates were the one's that were attacking the Ponies then we would have them serving us then. Not that it's a surprise, since we are more qualified to do just that."

Chrysalis then got even angrier by the second. "What are you saying?" She asked in a small and angry tone.

"I honestly thought that the ponies were the one's that were weak, but now I see what you are really capable of. I thought you were supposed to be fearsome, but now I see that you're nothing but weak fools."

And that did it. If angry looks can kill, then even all of the changelings would be dead. Close to breaking her own blood vessels she spoke. "If you think you're so powerful then where were you when we were attacking Canterlot?"

"That wasn't our fight, rather watch you fail than be apart of it. Wouldn't want to be in the crossfire when you changelings, or should I say 'weaklings', were defeated." Chrysalis then started to feel her eyes getting red. "Well now I see how all these 'weaklings' act like this now, because of you. Because you've gone soft and became weaker than all of them together."

She could barely take it anymore. "I want you to leave now."

"Why should I? I just got here."

"We both my be royalty, but this is where I rule, not you, not ever. Now why don't you do the world a big favor and GET OUT!!!"

"Why should I listen to someone that is soft and weak. After one loss, you think that it's the end of the world. I would never think that. I don't accept losses, I just get more experience for the next time. Weak creatures like you shouldn't even exist in this world."

"So what, are you going to start something?"

After thinking for a little bit he then grew a devilish smile. "On the contrary my dear, if this is what you choose..." He then started up some magic and threw her across the room. "...then no I'm not going to start something." He then started walking toward her. "I'm going to end something."
