Chapter 20: Darkness and Despair pt. 2
"A letter from Prince Shining Armor." At those last words me and Twi's eyes go wide. Her for her brother writing to her, and me for the impending invasion.
"A letter from my BBBFF?" The girls look quizzically at Twi.
"Big brother best friends forever." A collective 'ooooh' of understanding from everypony. "And the scroll says you're all invited to his wedding."
"WHAT!?"
"Yeah, wedding."
"He couldn't of told me earlier!? Or at least In pony!? Ugh!" Twi stomps off to her room. The gang looks at me.
"Ever since Twi came here to this town she lost contact to her brother and he never wrote to her. And she's mad that she suddenly gets a letter from him saying that he getting married Mi Amore Cadenza, or Princess Cadence." Another collective 'oooh' from them. I look upstairs. "You wanna know a surprise twist?" They nod. I gesture them closer. "No matter what happens, Twi must never know until she finds out for herself. You HAVE to keep this from her. Promise?" They nod again. "Pinkie promise." Eyes widen. "Yes, it's that important." They nod again and make the motions of the Pinkie promise. "Ok, Princess Cadence is Twilight's foalsitter." A gasp comes from everypony. "SSHH!!" Embarrassed smiles all around. "You promise not to tell her?" They nod. "Good. 'Cause if you don't Pinkie will make sure you don't break any again, and you don't want what i'l do." I see them shiver. "Good, now we wait, see you girls tomorrow." I walk off to home to await the future.
-------->>>>The next morning<<<<---------
"It says friends invited. So I guess that means you too Streak."
"Perfect." Twi looks at me suspiciously.
"Why did you say it like."
"There's something going on, and I don't like it. And leave it like that."
"Ooookaaay..."
"Don't worry, you'll figure it out before the rest. Anyway, when do we have to go?" Twi looks at the letter she got yesterday.
"It says we have to arrive today." Wow.
"Did you already tell the others?" She nods. "Alright, be right back." I blink to my house, put on my suit, with a golden fedora, and blink back to Twi's place. "Alright, I'm ready." She jumps.
"Gah! Oh, it's you Streak."
"Who else could it be?" She smirks.
"You're sounding like like Rainbow." I smirk.
"Omigoshomigoshomigosh!!!" Me and Twi burst out into laughter.
"At least i'm not brash." Twi nods in agreement.
"Yeah, that's true."
"Now, when do we get on the train?" Twi looks outside.
"Right now actually."
"Did you tell the girls to board at this time?" She nods. "Ok, blink." I blinked us over to the train station. The girls have already gathered and are about to board.
"Hey Streak! Twilight! Took ya long enough!"
"How about you shut up before I do something i'll regret?" That got her to clam up. "Thank you. Now, to Canterlot!" We all cheer and board the fucking Friendship Express.
------->>>>Canterlot Train Station<<<<--------
We got off the god awful Friendship Express and headed to the castle front gates. I turned to pony form to not get so much attention. Even if I get a lot as a pony, it's better than being a fucking human. Anyway, the guards at the front gate see us, nod, an open the gates. And we walk in. We were then lead to our suites. The wedding isn't supposed to be for another three hours. I use this time to walk around the castle, it's fucking huge. As I walk around the castle I notice a lack of guards, and servants.
*Oh no...* I think dryly as something hard ht me in the back of my head, causing me to get really agitated. "You can't knock me out. You can't escape from me, and you just made me mad. Really fucking mad." I grab whatever was behind me before it was able to escape. I turn around to see a changeling, and WOW these fuckers look more creepy in real life than in the show. More spiky body, gnarled teeth, two fanged teeth, the same soulless eyes and their chitin is less shiny. Everything else being the same. An idea pops into my head. *Lets's have some fun with Chrysi...* "Go tell you mother that Golden Streak is here to crash the wedding." I let the changeling go, and I watch in amusement as it scurries away. I blink back to my room and relax, and cast a transformation spell to turn me into my normal looking pony. You know, green mane with black stripes? Yeah, that one. Anyway, just a few seconds later a maid knocks on the door. I kill the spell and i' m in my robot pony form. "Yes?"
"Prince Streak? It is time for the wedding."
"Thank you, i'll be out in a minute." The weird thing is that all articles of clothing transform with me. Fitting with my current form, so adjust the suit and canter out of my suite.
"Follow me please." The... maid? Servant? I cant tell. Anyway, I nod and she leads me to a field where the wedding is being held. When the mare leaves I turn normal pony and canter into the crowed. Just as the wedding music starts. The groom, Shining Armor. Is already standing at the end of the isle. Looking brainwashed, I look to my sides and everypony else looks brainwashed.
*So that's how nopony else suspected it..* I see some fillies throwing flower pedals onto the ground. Followed by sudo-Cadence walking after them. I look around some more, and I see that Twi is missing. But I knew that she would make it out of the caverns and get here. Chrysalis is still cantering down the isle when she looks at my direction When her eyes lock on me my eyes flash red. Her eyes widen and she glares at me. And I wink. Her grows confused, but I look away and duck down. As i'm close to the ground, I can barely feel the thumping of hooves. I stand back up and look for Twi. I see her coming from the castle, followed by a disheveled looking Cadence. I grin wildly and blink over to them.
"Hey Twi. And Cadence." Twi hugs me while Cadence looks at me confused.
"Have we meet before?" I shake my head.
"No, and I didn't want to meet like this, but my name is Golden Streak."
"Oh! It's-" A loud rumbling interrupts her and a bright green flash interrupts her. I look behind me and see that Chrysi has already changed to her original form. So do I.
"She's a changeling! She uses the emotions of others to gain power." Chrysi chuckles.
"Right you are my little morsel." She chortles. "And as queen of the changelings, I have to supply food to my subjects."
"But with a full-scale invasion? Seriously?" The queen glares at me.
"And what are you?" I scowl.
"I, am the last thing you want to piss off at the moment." I crouch low to leap at her, but before I could a wall a of drone changelings block my path. I see Chrysi buzzing off to the main part of the castle; the throne. "You girls get the elements, I'll take care of the changelings." The girls nod and gallop off. I look at the main plaza of Canterlot and see it bombarded by changelings. A sick, twisted grin taking place on my face. "Time for some extermination." I fly up into the air and spot of group of those bugs cornering a mare and her foal. My eyes glow red and I speed to the group. The bugs didn't have a chance. Before they even turned to see me I slammed into them. Making them crunch under my hands and feet, also covering my body in green goo. I slammed the some bugs into a a wall, immediately killing them. I turn around and spot the bugs I didn't initially kill. I see there ears go down and eyes widen in fear. I look over to the mare and foal, it's Button Mash and his mom; Nursery Rhymes. I look back to the changelings, and like lightning run over to them and slam them into another wall. Killing off the rest of them. I didn't mention that I used my stretchy powers to hep slam them? Well, now you know.
After the lifeless bugs fall to the floor I look back at the mare and foal. I see the fear in their eyes. "Go find shelter, or hide under something. Got it?" They nod. "Go." I fly up without another word. I catch some bugs in the air, impaling them on my arms, green goo running down my arms and dripping off my legs. I look around and see that two mares and a stallion are being chased by another hoard. I speed off, expand my hands and squish the bugs chasing them, satisfying squelching and squishing sounds coming from under my hands. Green slime squirting form under my clenched fists. I take out some more changelings mid-air and throw their bodies to the ground. Right now I am in absolute ecstasy, I've always loved killing things I hated, and I really hated changelings. More time is spent killing the bugs and I make them coward away. Some are still brave enough to stand up to me. And what I did to these little fuckers. I say little because some of them shot magic at me, and I absorbed it, I would say it made me about... five feet taller? I can't remember, I was like a fucking berserker at the time. A raging blood lust burning in my core, couldn't be quenched until I kill every. Last. One of them. After I take out the last of the changelings that stood up, I made my way to the throne room. Ten minutes spent walking around the castle and I found the big, wooden double-doors that lead to the throne room. I walk up to the doors and swing them open with little effort.
The girls haven't found the elements, but they were close. The gang surrounded by a little army of changelings. Chrysalis cackling madly.
"rrrrRRRRAAAA!!" A war cry as let out from me as I sprint towards the queen. The walls of changelings proving to only fail, as green slime and body parts fly. As I near the queen she does her best to get away, no use running, I blink over to her and grab her by the neck. Garbled chocking sounds coming from her as she tries to push herself away from my grip.
"Resistance is futile. It will only prolong you immanent dimes, Chrysalis." I can see the life leaving from her eyes. I look at her, my eyes green and my body nearly black, black smoke drifting from my body.
"Streak!" I drop the queen bug and look behind me. Gasping and coughs coming from the queen. My entire frame soften.
"Hey Twi, what's up?" *Sometimes I think i'm bipolar.*
"What were you doin'!?" I grin.
"Letting the last of my blood lust go. Don't worry i'm good now." I walk over to the gang and stand to the side. "Where's Tia?"
"Right here." We all look to see Tia and Luna canter in from a hallway. Their faces contorted in grimaces.
"What happened here?" I grin widely.
"I just had some much needed relaxation." Everypony turns to me. Blank looks on their faces. "What?"
"THAT'S how you relax?" I nod
"Yeah pretty much."
"I must say that you are quite sadistic."
"WH-!" I blink to the bug and slam a fist to her head, knocking her out. How long? I don't give a shit, felt fucking awesome to do that.
"Yes, sadistic indeed."
"You should of seen me back on my home world."
"Why do you say that?"
"You don't want to know." I look in Tia's direction and she flinches. "Don't tell me you're going to banish me?" I say with a hurt look.
"I'm sorry, but after seeing what you've done. It scares me."
"You know I wouldn't do that to you, Aj can vouch for me." I look to her. "Right?"
"He's right Princess, he ain't lying." Tia's face softens.
"See Tia? I wouldn't hurt a single living thing unless provoked."
"Ok, ok. I believe you." I hear a groan from the bug queen. I blink over to her and loom over her.
"Uhh... What happened." She sees the shadow cast over her and follows it until she sees me. Her eyes and horn flare and shoots a bolt of magic at me. It hits me in the face but I still absorb it. "What are you!?" I grin madly.
"I am a machine you do not want to anger. And you just gave me the ability to use your kind of magic." Chrysi looks at me skeptically. I smirk and i'm bathed in red flame. The red fire dies to reveal me as Chrisy.
"That's impossible!" Red flames engulf me again, the flames die again and i'm back to human robot form.
"Very possible bug. Oh! Before I forget." My fingers snap and a gold ring poofs into existence on Chrysi's horn. Effectively blocking her magic.
"What have you done!?" She tries to force magic though her horn.
"I may or may not have enchanted that ring to act as a magic blocker." I turn to Tia. "Were's Shining Armor?" I'm hit by a bolt of magic. "There he is." I turn around and see an angry looking Shining. "Really? NOW the spell dies and you're back to normal?"
"Get away from them!" I'm shot with another bolt of blue magic. Which I absorbed, making him kinda freak out.
"Twi, can you explain it to him? Please?" She nods. "Thank you." Twi canters up to her BBBFF.
"Big brother? He's Golden Streak." Shining was paying full attention to me, but when Twi said my name... Holy shit his face was priceless!! Just to see him go wide eyed and gape, his jaw literally dripping to the floor? Fucking hilarious! I couldn't help but burst out into laughter. I spend a few good minutes laughing. But the sound of Tia clearing her throat made me stop.
"*whew* Sorry, it was just too funny to not laugh st your reaction Shining. But yes, I am Golden Streak." He looks at me skeptically.
"I was told you were a pony."
"Correction, I have the option to turn into my pony form, what you see is my original form." I poof to pony form. "NOW i'm a pony, and just so you know, I single highhandedly took out the changeling army." Blank looks all around. "Well the part that was out side. Go look if you don't believe me." And every pony does so. And they all gape at my masterpiece. "Pretty cool huh."
"What have done!? You've terminated my race!" I shake my head.
"You really think i'm that barbaric?" A nod from everypony. "I feel so loved. Anyway, I didn't kill all of them, you can come out now!" A mini swarm of the fuckers gather behind Chrysi. "See? I didn't comit genocide, just drastically reduced you numbers to prevent anything else from happening." Just then I cast a shield over the changelings, and the shield has a golden color to it. *Neat.* "And I wont let anything else happen. Now what do we do?" I look to Celestia. She shrugs. "Really?" She looks at me with a face that says, 'I have no fucking clue'. I think for a minute, and an idea pops into my head. "I have and idea." I walk over to the shield. "I have a proposition for you Chrysalis."
"Do I have any other option?"
"Y-no. So you might as well listen to me if you want you and your children to live peacefully." A huff and a nod comes from the queen. "You can do either of the following: One, reside in the town were I live in called Ponyville. B, go to live in the badlands and let your children starve. Or tress, I can end it right here, right now." Everypony blanches at my last option. "What'll it be Chrysi? Live in harmony? Die of starvation? Or die by my hands?" I see Chrysi weighing her options. It takes her a while but she finally comes to a decision. *Please let it be number three!*
"I'll spend the rest of my days in the tartarus hole you call Ponyville." She spits the last word like yo would saying 'Fuck'.
"Number two it is! But just a warning." I blink to right in front. "Do anything to the town's ponies and I will END YOU. Do we have a deal." As I spoke my eyes were glowing red, she gulps and nods. Sweat trailing down the bug queen's neck. "Good, i'm sure we'll get along quite nicely."
