CATACLYSM

“It’s been a few years since the royal wedding and the changeling attack. Twilight and her friends successfully beat us, and they’ve even managed to fight off Tirek. I even hear Twilight is a princess now” Chrysalis told a slightly shorter changeling as she recalled her attack on Canterlot. "Yes and you are still the most beautiful queen." One of the underlings said bowing before the ruler.

"The greatest!" Another said as they kissed her hoof.

“Yes my darling subjects. You’re queen will forever be great” she said with a wicked smile, “where is Swiss?’ Swiss ran in. He was only a foal. "I'm right here mom!" He said smiling as he Nuzzled her.

“I have been thinking my loyal followers” the queen stated, “Our hive is getting smaller by the month, since it is breeding season, I fear soon, we will have to move”.

“But where will we go my queen?” a changeling asked.

Swiss rose his hoof. "I heard that the zebras are leaving the everfree forest!" He said eagerly, hoping his mother would notice him.

“Hmm” she says as she raised a hoof to her chin, “You know what, I

think Swiss may be onto something. Do you wanna make you mommy proud?”. She lifted the little changeling’s head to look at her. Swiss squeed happily. "Oh yes mommy! Anything you ask mommy!" He said smiling. chrysalis smiled and hugged the little changeling. “I’m sending Swiss to check the spot in the forest the zebra’s left” she announced, “if it’s big enough we’ll move there”. The crowd cheered and roared happily.

"Go Swiss!" They cheered as he started to walk to the forest. Before Swiss fully left he stopped by his room and grabbed the little helmet his mother gave him. It was the one thing he loved most. He had been walking for about an hour when he reached the everfree forest. It was dark and he was scared, but he knew he had to do this. He had to do this to please his mother. Her love and approval meant everything to him. "Run away!" A group of breezies were shouting as they flew the opposite direction of Swiss. One of them stopped and looked at him.

"Run! Get out! While you still..." Before it could finish, a hoof came out of the ground and squashed the breezie. Swiss quickly ran behind a tree and started panting. When he turned his head, the hoof was gone. With a sigh of relief, he turned around, only to be greeted by a green and brown earth pony much larger than him. The brown was probably dried on dirt, but that didn't matter now.

"WHO ARE YOU TO ENTER SERGEANT EVERFREE'S FOREST, PRIVATE?!" He shouted loudly, knocking Swiss on his butt. Swiss wanted so much to change into a pony form, but he hadn’t learned how yet. “p-p-please Sir, I am looking for a new home for my mommy and me” he pleaded as tears brimmed his eyes. "Son. Do you know what I do to your kind around here?" The mischievous pony asked as he grabbed a knife.

"Uh..." swiss stared scared.

"Time's up." He said as he cut a blue flower and gave it to him. "Eat up." He said. Swiss slowly raised his hoof.

"More for me." He said as he chewed the flower and spat right into his face. Swiss started to scream. The flower the crazy pony spat on him was burning his face. Then suddenly he couldn’t breath. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" he shouted as he raised his hoof and brought it down and raised it, shaking off the residue. He smiled as he lifted the head with the helmet. He quickly ran to his little hut and put the head on a pole. He smiled as he wrote a note and left it on the back of the headless foal. He dragged it over to a catapult and launched it back into changeling territory. Chrysalis sat on her throne, watching over the changelings when a guard rushed in. “Your majesty, something has happened”

“What?” she asked.

“It’s prince Swiss” he said looking down.

“What about him?” she asked trying to keep her panic low, “is my son ok?”.

“Come with me” he said leading her outside. She quickly ran outside and her eyes got wide.

"MY SON!" She said crying as she hugged it. She sobbed heavily as she saw the note. She read it out loud.

" LISTEN UP MAGGOTS. YOU HAVE WAITED 30 YEARS TO ATTACK AND HOPED THAT I WOULDN'T BE AROUND. GUESS AGAIN. UNTIL I SEE YOUR COWARD'S WHITE FLAG, I WILL BE AROUND. DISMISSED!!

-SERGEANT EVERFREE"

Raged filled Chrysalis. She screamed out and changelings around coward. Her horn glew and a green blast of magic flew out, burning down the closest trees. “Those ponies first cause have my kingdom to starve and now, one murdered my baby!” her voice deepened as she pounded the ground with her front hooves. She noticed the guards looking at her, “Gather the changelings, we attack first thing in the morning” she ordered.

“What about the pony who killed Prince Swiss?” the guard asked. She smiled wickedly as her eyes glew green. “He’s mine” she said with a hiss.
