        Chrysalis looked upon the strange creature that had barged into her glorious speech at the most crucial moment, her gaze went over the biped’s features.”It’s much bigger than what my spies told me,” she tought “and… stranger.”

The human, as she had learned to be the name of it’s species, stared at her with a look of amusement and irritation, it’s heavy steps echoing in the throne room.The giant slowly made his way to her, and in a deep voice it bellowed,"Release them, and maybe Ah’ll leave ya to their own judges.”

        “And what makes you say that so?” she asked,watching as it came closer to her.

        “Nuthing,all Ah’m saying is that if you don’t do what Ah’m telling ya Ah’m gonna go there and punch ya until you’re bug-paste in the ground.” He smirked,and crossed his arms, “All Ah say is release’em and you ain’t turning out like the other bugs”

        Chrysalis shook her head slowly “who does he think he is” .With a mighty jump,the changeling queen took to the air,her wings buzzing and horn glowing with weeks worth of power.”You shall learn not to mess with those stronger than you, human, beg now and maybe your death shall be swift.”

        He shook his head, a sad smile crossing his features, and before Chrysalis had any time to prepare herself fully, the human bolted, covering almost the entire length between them in no time.He jumped, and dodging to the her side she released a bolt of pure magic energy directly into his back.

        The impact took off his balance, but with a roll he managed to get up in no time.He turned to her again and bolted, what she didn’t expect however was for it to feign a jump,and jump when she was not prepared.She was caught in the human’s grip, and both went to the ground, the human crashing on top of her, and as it tried to get a better grasp on her, she blasted it off with another bolt.

“He should be dead by now! I’ve hit him two times in quick succession with my strongest attack!”she got up again, huffing as a small amount of pain made itself known on her wings “great, he almost ripped them both with one attack, just how much strong is this thing?”

Her musings were cut short when the human came running full speed towards her, and before he could hit her she dodged right.The human passed her,but to her surprise, and subsequent pain, it did a full spin, and with a yell it brought his fists on her barrell.

        She went sailing through the room, crashing into a wall, before she could fully recover she felt his grip on her neck, and in a swift motion she was spun around and thrown into the ground, a resounding crack filling the room.

        Things seemed to settle down, “ does he think that he has ended me?” she waited for a while,and for her amusement she was neither tackled or hit in any way.Using the element of surprise she shot upwards again,her wings in pain as they buzzed to keep her flying.

        “Thought Ah had killed ya,with the crack and thing” the human said, looking at her with a amused expression, “at least ya’re a tough bug to take down eh,would be a shame if ya went limp with just that.”

        Taking the opportunity, Chrysalis charged her horn with as much energy as possible, and discharged at her enemy in a green, fire like beam of pure magic power “let’s see you survive that,freak!”

        She could only watch in horror as the bolt impacted the creature,it simply stumbled backwards,and looked at itself with an amused expression, “Eh, that’s gonna leave a mark,” he laughed, a deep bass like tone that reverberated in the dead silent room, “come on ya bug, shoot me again, Ah dare ya!”

        Chrysalis took the opportunity, discharging bolt after bolt of energy, each one having less control and power than the last, finally she stopped, taking ragged breaths.The human was pretty battered, but it didn’t show any signs of stopping there.

        “Alright,my turn.”

        The human ran at her, and she felt his fist connect with her barrell, sending her upwards and backwards, falling on the ground she had no time to get up as she felt it grabbing her again, only to be spun around and thrown into it again.She only felt numbness at the resounding crack, crack, crack of the humans fist connecting to her hard carapace, she was too tired, too battered and too annoyed to care about anything.

        Her world swirled, everything was pain,everything was white, and slowly, she could only feel her ragged breaths through the numbness.The last thing she heard before going unconscious was a beeping sound.
