Chapter 1 The Hunt!

The date, a few days before the royal wedding! Recently a letter was dropped off by a mysterious entity, revealing that the changelings were coming! As shining armor captain of the Royal guard created the gigantic shields, surrounding the city!

Night:

”Stallions, you are going on the patrol around the outer rim.” Princess Luna announced to her troops as she was taking her place.

Thanks to the princesses' shape shifting abilities she needed a doorway in and out the force field, several guards were trained in the arts of transformations were also having to be given small doorways.

”Dear Aunt, I feel it would be better to improve our security by capturing some changelings. May I take a group of 4, at I may hunteth aft'r mine w'rthy prayeth.” Replying the handsome Prince Blueblood.

Luna”Blueblood do not speak in thy old tongue, ye be terrible.”

Blueblood mentally noted his first victim, it would be the old language. As the Prince selected his first subjects!

Skywarp, Vortex, Derek Bright,& Darkstorm.(All of them were bat ponies, and wearing the signature lunar guard armor, almost virtually on distinguishable minus some minor color differences) Skywarp, with a dark purple mane and tail, his tail was visible but the helmet covered up his mane! Vortex blood red mane and tail, with a little bit of his mane sticking out from underneath his helmet. Derek Bright, neon green tail, completely bald underneath helmet! Dark storm, powder blue hair color, evil goatee, that would make evil Spock proud!

Dark storm”Prince are you sure you can keep up with us will be flying most of the way?” Teasing, and remembering how the Prince act that the party.

Blueblood's body began to glow right yellow, as long Phoenix wings start popping up from his back, his tail became was now a collection of Phoenix feathers, as he smiled”I believe the flames of the Phoenix will keep up with your speed, Darkstorm!” As they began to fly into their hunt!

The guards can see why he had Mark now the blue Star, a legendary metal created back during the olden days, before star swirled star was given out to the best mage, a blue star was still even without those who were legendary wizards, with the star swirled star coming more of a medal for those that magic creation! (Basically the Nobel Prize for magic)

As a small doorways was created to let out the Prince, and quickly followed by the four guards! Unknown to the guards that the portal was shut just a little too slow, for a small fly to fly in!

Location:Silverwoods

Deep into the woods, after the Prince spotted a changeling. It was unusual that the Prince spotted first instead of the guards with eyes that can pierced through the night, but they assumed it was probably because of the power of the Phoenix! The Phoenix's power to sense evil, changelings ability become completely useless against a Phoenix, well unless you are queen but really what are the chances that that could happen!

As the guards flew into the woods to find the Prince, they quickly got separated, due to the fact that the woods were very dense and thick.

Derek Bright spotted a changeling, dropping a load of ice traps to freeze his enemies. The cold and clouds grew into a large mist, around the area first changeling was covered in glistening ice! The Princed followed up by popping up right behind him with a devilish grin he said”NIce job. Now it's my turn spell from the trickster days.” As he began to chant the spell, all of a sudden the changeling turned into a crystal, green with vibrant terror, then blueblood uses telekinesis to bring the crystal into his saddlebags. Then he whispered”Be careful I hear their Timberwolves in the woods.” As he flew up into the sky, Derek could hear some strange handling afterwards, but they weren't the same as Timberwolves! He remembers hearing them over the years that this farm, but the sound of something different, all of a sudden he felt something biting off his left wing, feeling the tear ripped from his shoulder, as the pain ripped right into his mind, but he couldn't see what attacked him!

He turned around and shot lightning towards the something that was attacking him! But all to be availed, feeling talon marks across his right leg, burned with feeling of fire he never felt before, if we not the cold icy flames of the frigid North, or the soothing flames of the Phoenix! Able to take to the air with the missing of his left wing! He running and limping whatever was chasing him he could not see it, the howls were louder, and was snarling and growling, he felt something grabbed his back leg turned him into like a ragdoll. Smacking him across the right tree as if he felt like two or three ribs were scattered, the tree was broken in half no surprise! As he could feel the claw marks and fiery teeth pulling across his body, still couldn't see what was tearing him to shreds, organs were beginning to spell out of his stomach, filled with tears and bites was ribs, life began to drain from his face he could see, two strange looking dogs, familiar like...

Vortex

Vortex found himself in a different section of the forest, the spooky darkness around him looking carefully to make sure he was careful, he overheard some howls and was a little nervous, but pretty sure that they were in a good distance, but felt sorry for the poor sap that would probably be those beasties dinner! As a bright golden light became visible behind some trees!

He began to sigh with relief when he noticed it was just Prince blueblood, but he wasn't absolutely sure after all even a drone could disguise themselves as the handsome prince! Then the image of another blueblood showed up, and then another and then another! Vortex was confused and worried.

Blueblood”don't worry just capture all of us and you'll figure out which ones the real one!” That the one on the far left, which was the only one that was not hit with a massive ice blast, moment that blueblood stated that! Vortex's ice blizzard was extremely effective at freezing the two changelings, and a de-transformed right in front of his eyes, showing their insectlike bodies, blueblood began to cast a spell once again.

Darkstorm

Another changeling was all nicely tied up, bound by vines and unusual plant life, Two Timberwolves were sitting right next to the powerful bat pony known as dark storm giving the Timberwolves a piece of lumber, for job well done.

Blueblood returned, catching up with dark storm with both Vortex and Bright. Casting a similar spell, and trapping the changeling inside a crystal blueblood replied”excellent work storm.” But the Timberwolves began to growl, they smelled the difference.

Dark storm”What have you done to Bright & Vortex?” Blueblood was confused, well not really he was just acting, then the changeling that was disguised as vortex gave a quick hit in the back of blueblood's head! Allowing the Prince to slip away as the battle began. Storm summon forth vines and whips, slashing and thrashing the changelings getting ready to figure out what they've done to his comrades, all the while being pulled that blueblood was innocent, but the first world combat never let your guard down!

Blueblood"Flay the flesh,Power of rot,lay bare the bone,what once was one now fly apart!" As dark storm skin began to scribble, rotting flesh began to fall off revealing the bare red blood the muscles, his wings were tearing inch by inch, his eyes were burning melting with the flesh, as his skin was melting away, rotting tearing slowly dripping off of his body as they came the corpse his screams howling into the night, the Timberwolves were burning on fire, flames grasping as they were being mauled by invisible creatures the changelings were being healed!

Sky saw everything and was beginning to fly away, but with strike down by bloodied taggers, daggers made from the blood of his fallen friend, as his wings were riddled with the holes blueblood inch closer, and said”thankfully your friend vortex makes a nice substitute, but I have one last person to let in, isn't that right my Majesty.” Popping out from the shadows behind Prince blueblood was Queen Chrysalis

Chrysalis”I haven't taken the form of the stallion in over a millennium.” She replied with a fiendish smile.

End of chapter!

Author's Note

First, I'm tired of the main six always been the murderers, I can tell you how many times I've seen them main six being listed as the killers in the grim dark stories, I know it's actually not that bad but it still like it, second it's always being a main character. But that's not that creepy because you know it's never going to happen the show, but what if you're more likely to be one of those rare pony royal guards I mean they're everywhere, if your name sign in the credits you're not important! And besides it's always scarier when the story could be actually in Canon! And the only one second disprove this story was canon are the writers!

Chapter F: sweet dreams Granny!

Opening up in the dungeons next to the hex labs:

Prince blueblood is dissecting a another changeling”studies confirm that, changelings are twin gendered, as they carry both types of biological parts for creating changelings. Time for the musical urge.”

Insert the sound effects musical version of crushing bones(exoskeleton to be exact) and squishy sound effects!

“The Tarsus Is the vast variety collections of Pastern, Hoof, Coronet,Fetlock connected to Tibia, which connects to Femur, dynamically creates the point of chronic knee! The first knee joint connects to the creation secondary knee joint system! “

“Trochanter to coxa which generates a flexed elbow knee joint!” MOrE disgusting noises, as the scalpel is slowly digging in and cutting out the parts in question, blood splatter across blueblood's face the green blood of a changeling!

“Thy Thorax Is connected to abdomen, which has a series of vibrant thematic muscles inside!” As you can see him ripping open the I guess you would describe as a rib cage, oh it's more like a plate mail, with the G.M.O. gets revealed!

“The organ array, stomach is composed of a vast array of sensory smell, auditory vibration systems, and caulk shall vibration system, compose vibrational crystals! That vibrate at a quadratic signal!” (I'm going to skip the rest of the musical number because it's going to be head breaking late hurting, if your real lyricist out there to continue with but you're going to have to study insect anatomy and forced anatomy! Also I just created the stomach based on the idea that they eat magic, specifically the stuff that fuels magic which is based on your emotions!)

Time skip to the point of the song where he gets to the head:

“Vertex, Is to ocelli Is to , ecdys connected to the unicorn horn, which is connected to the mystic shell,(A.k.a. the third eye chakra)” as a beautiful Earth pony comes walking downstairs, looking very similar to Sapphire Shores but with a reverse color scheme.

Maid” Your Highness, aren't you coming to the rehearsal?” She said slightly curious on why the Prince had not attended most of the events lately.

Blueblood”To be honest I preferred the nightlife, besides I have much work to do.” He replies while holding the insect head, in the same sequence of that famous to be or not to be seen in Shakespeare! (Because that's what you do with a skull)

Maid” Sure and I see you've been out hunting some more, because I can support you only came back with one changeling and now you have four of them?” Pointing out the corpse and the two still breathing changelings, shaking in terror and fear!

Blueblood”Tell me about your schedule...”

Several hours later:

Blueblood was near the Royal watchtower.(Or reference in the show this is right after Luna says stay indoors twilight sparkle, when she finds out that her friends have become the bridesmaids) as he was climbing up the stairs he was grumbling”stupid Princess changing her bridesmaids at the last minute, and then asking for one of my personal maids, that's currently 'unavailable'! How am I supposed to continue my research with all these distractions!” He started cursing in Moon speak. Walking towards the balcony, levitating a tray of tea, and nestling over to Princess Luna.

“Dear granite, I mean dear aunt Luna. I have brought you some nice delicious tea, a special herbal blend that I've created, to help with these long nights, I know you really don't need it but so I just can't help but think the herbal blend myself, especially after one of my maids as disappeared?” Prince replied, going in his great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother(prefers to be called aunt) would be eager and curious to investigate, yet will never notice the true signs.

As the moon goddess levitates the small tea cup, and quickly drinks it all in one go”dear Blueblood, this statement about your maid has me troubled, I will gladly search for what was her name?”

Blueblood” Sandra Shore, also Cadence has changed her bridesmaids, though I'm having the old ones moved by Royal guards, back to their rooms.” Taking his position to watch through the telescope as Luna proceeds to run off!

Blueblood”Everything is going according to plan, even with those changes!”

Meanwhile: in the catacombs underneath the city!

Two guard ponies, guarding Minuette(a blue time Lord pony, with her unicorn horn, and her very unique hairstyle.) Lyra heartstrings(another beautiful unicorn), and the very forgettable Twinkle!

The guards which are named:Cryotek & Feryl, who still don't understand why there walking down the deep dark corridors of the catacombs, but they're not going to argue with the Prince and also Princess Cadence, was been very moody ever since she's been doing this whole wedding thing!

Cryotek” So girls is aware that your eyes are all green, I mean it's not that bad and why did they just change blue for split-second?” All of a sudden Lyra performs a Mortal Kombat Kano heart rip fatality on the guard!

Feryl, proceeded to do some earth bending, to fight off the hand generating unicorn, whose was using her magic to wield magical battle gauntlets, when all of a sudden everything begins to slow down, and a blinding light.

As the three mind control bridesmaids eyes turn from the light blue back to the controlled changeling spell!

Several hours later, into the battle:

Blueblood was wearing the Royal guard outfit. It was quite easy for him to blend in standing in front of Luna's door. Thanks to his specialty tea, if anyone was going to ask questions while Luna wasn't taking part the battle's, he wouldn't even have to raise a hoof. He still had to guard the door to prevent Luna from taking part in battle, if the tea wore off. But highly unlikely.

Outside the world guards were riling up to help out the illusion of Princess Luna. For Luna unknown to her and to the guards themselves, had drunk a potion that would cause her astral projection, to be visible allowing her to live a dream that she was having to be seen by every pony, and thanks to Blueblood skills his dream was setting up the battle!

And you know the rest of the story because of the episode! End!

Author's Note

Well obviously this storyline takes a bit of a dark turn! Also for those who are not creeped out by the musical interlude, we are talking about essentially the story of leg bone is connected to the hip bone while dissecting a person, and disassembling those very joints that they are talking about them being connected! Yeah I was creeped out by writing that! And you don't want to know what happened to the maid! But I wouldn't mind seeing some fanart of what ever things your imagination can come up with!

And clues for the next story this won't be the last victim that Lyra has!
