The forest was silent, the dark leaves of the blacker of trees quietly bristled above the clearing. The silent serenity was interrupted by a slow rustling of a Bush, slowly a silhouette appeared out of the Bush, cautiously scanning its surroundings, it then stepped into the moonlight and looked to the sky "Where did it all go wrong?It was all for a reason: survival, why are the ponies so blind to the grim truth of the world?" Her voice was the only thing to be heard "No reaction- Pherhaps I was wrong? Maybe they aren't watching me anymore." She looked down to her black hooves and sighed. A twig breaking behind her caused her to jump and turn towards the sound, as she had predicted a channelling had followed her into the clearing. "Why do you persist, I am no longer your queen! I do not command you! GET AWAY!" She shouted and fired a blast of green magic at the lone changeling and turned to continue her journey but the buzzing of wings stopped her, she turned once again and saw a swarm of changelings rise above the canopy, one of the larger ones, presumably their new captain made a signal to attack and the first row of Changelings swooped down to give Chase.

It was all those blasted ponies fault. When she arrived in Canterlot many months ago to request the assistance of Celesti a in finding food for her hive she refused, Chrysalis decided to think about the concersation that night while she ran from the mob behind her.

"No, I will not allow you to take love from my subjects for the simple fact that it is such an important thing." Celestia calmly said looking down at the Changeling queen before her.

"Please, reconsider! This is for the well-being of my species!" Chrysalis desperately replied,

"No means no, it is my kingdom and they are my ponies, I must give them what is theirs." Celestia said back plainly, she did not know much of how changelings worked so she was staying on the defensive.

"You consider yourself, kind-hearted  yet you contribute to the extinction of many a species of creature!" She lashed back angrily, this princess was very stubborn.

"Love is a very fragile thing, I will not have it tampered with by the likes of you and your hive..." Celestia had risen from her throne "Guards, please escort her out of Canterlot."

"Mark my words, Celesti a... I will have my revenge!" She turned and stomped down the hallway before turning her head and licking her lips "And it will be DELICIOUS!" She was then enveloped by a green glow and vanished from the throne room.

Sure, she may of overreacted a bit but when she first became queen she was determined to be the best her race had ever seen. Of course, considering the circumstances she was not doing very well. The ground shook ahead of her and she tripped over a root . She looked up to see the imposing figure of her commander BlackWing. Well, ex-commander...He quite infamously went rouge 2 years ago and started talking a group of other rouge changelings to fight for him.  Chrysalis thought he had been executed over that attempted murder of some unicorn. She shakily stood up and was eye-to-eye with BlackWing "Look at this, the queen on her knees before me! Oh sorry, I do forget that you are no longer a queen agreed your hive was almost wiped out. Thankfully..." He slowly said before looking to both sides, at least five-dozen changelings came from around the clearing "It only means more New recruits for me! Any last words? Chryysi?" He said smugly before beginning to charge a magic attack from his horn.

She narrowed her eyes and slowly spoke, her voice sending chills down the spines of the surrounding changelings. "I only have three words for you ; GO TO HELL!" She shouted and released a powerful burst of magic from her horn, their combined power sending them flying in different directions as a massive green fireball gave Chase.
