Sombra's POV

The time to act is now. Once the changlings check and finished whatever nonsense they were working on, we could finally leave. According to them, they had decided the best way to gain control of the so called, "M.E.G.A", the implants in the brain would convert into a, "nano" state that the changlings the described as gaseous state made of billions of microscopic, "robots", and exit through the skull the first time it is used. With this in mind, the implants could be captured and used to my advantage for... later plans, and it would also be easier to install and use in battle. An unfortunate drawback is that when leaving the skull, the MEGA could reproduce rapidly and make copies of itself, but thats only bad if the clones can escape...
We were just starting to finish when the guards began to wake up. Curses! I'm low on magic from the massive sleep and blackout act, and now I can only teleport a few feet in front of me. At least in my shadow form, I can sneak by... if I'm careful.
"Hurry!" I whispered to the changlings. They finished as the humans started to stand up, and they morphed into gnats. We snuck through the door and down the first corridor, and I had to duck out of the way as two humans in forest colored armor. One was bearing a weapon in both, "hands?", that had two long and thin barrels at the end, while the other held a rather sleek and chromatic weapon with a wide, glowing barrel at the end.
They ran into the room with the MEGA probably with the intent of checking and guarding it. As if to read my mind, an alarm blared something unintelligible, but I heard it mention the MEGA so I guessed it was a Lockdown. Great, now its going to be even more difficult to escape.
A long and suspenseful hour passed and we were nearly out of the yard once a forsaken guard noticed me and opened fire. To my luck, he seemed to be the only one at his post and his weapon wasn't automatic. The single bullet was easy to dodge and to save magic, I decided to use physical contact. With swift movement, I pounced over to him and impaled him with my horn as I reached him. His face turned a sickening white and blood gushed from the wound as I released him of my horn and he staggered backward. He fell to the ground, sputtering blood and a black crystal erupted from the stab wound and another erected from his forehead. He disintegrated into ashes and a small black crystal was all that remained.
We left the base and made our way back to the castle. I realized something before we left though, human blood STAINS.
Around half way back to the castle, I asked the changlings if they have the copy.
"Yes, sir."
"Well hand it over then."
"I'm afraid we can't do that, sir."
"Excuse me, what was that?"
"We know what you're planning, sir, the whole hive does. Are minds are all link so no matter what you do, sir, we know. And now that we do, she wants in."
"And if I don't"
"Then we will leave you to find your way back, and take the copy with us, and don't try to follow or attack, we have you surrounded with the whole battalion, and in your current state of fatigue, we both know which one of us will get out alive, sir." I hear series of wing buzzes and chitin clicks making the vast presence known.
"So, it seems we are at an impasse, may I know my options?"
"Well it's quite simple really, you and I share the power and and take Equestria for ourselves, or I get to rule and you die for real this time," Answered Chrysalis as she struts out from the thicket behind them, "And if you chose correctly, follow me and we can get started."

Celestia's POV

I stood at the edge of the castle board room, gazing out of the window before me, lowering the sun for the first time since the war ended and the 7 year Sunset was no more. Although the war had not directly involved me in battle, unlike Luna who fought right on the frontline, I stopped raising the sun to save for last resorts.
According to a message from Sombra, the MEGA was no longer functional and after the mission, the human army started to deteriorate and eventually collapsed. Sombra disappeared before he returned from the mission and I fear we might have a future problem, but something valuable has been recovered, the MEGA itself.
We found it working perfectly, which leads a bit more suspicion towards Sombra, and it looks like we can use it for our own defense in war. Since we have no need to use it now, I gave it to Luna, who found it herself anyways, who gave it to her vassal, so in the time being, the MEGA will just have to wait to show itself once more...
