The Queen's General

It was such a beautiful day in the land of Equestria. The land was filled with the wonderful sounds of animals and ponies carrying on with their daily lives in a town called Sunny Town. They were unaware of the horror that will soon be coming to them. Standing at the to of the hill was Raam who was looking down at the town with Scar and Skorge standing behind him as well a thousand changelings. Raam onslaught continued against the ponies with victory after victory for the changeling horde. It seems the death of Tullius dealt a heavy blow to the ponies. The changelings morale were high and it seemed there was no way they could be stopped.

"Our forces are in position General," Skorge spoke while gripping his staff tighter.

Raam stared at the town with a curious expression on his face which all changelings noticed though none spoke of it. They watched confused as Raam pulled out....a doll? The doll itself looked like Celestia. Where did he get it many of them wonder?

"I found this on a body of a dead guard. Perhaps a gift."

The changelings still did not see where this was going. Why in the world would he care about a toy? Their thoughts were answered when he turned towards them with one of his sadistic smiles if smiling with nothing but teeth could be called smiling. "I think a child might have gave this to a father or brother as a promise to return. What say we look to see if this child is here and would like their toy back?"

The changelings didn't speak but knew that it was a statement that told them to be ready to which they began brandishing their weapons. Raam turned back towards the direction of the town and slowly pulled his knife out causing a schink sound as it was pulled out. Once it was, Raam raised it above his head like one would with a battle fan. He held it there for a moment then lowered it where it was pointing straight. The changelings let out yells as they rushed down the hill towards the village. Raam watched with satisfaction as he heard the screams of the ones as they watched the horde descend on them. Nothing will stop them now.

The ponies were being slaughtered left and right as the horde poured into their home. Killing anything in their path. Stallions tried to fight back to buy their loved ones time but were easily cut down by the sheer number of the changelings. Mothers were having their children flee while joining the stallions so their children could escape.

A thousand miles away from Canterlot was the rest of the changeling horde that numbered in ten thousand since Raam had taken the other ten thousand down another path to which he simply replied with "Hunting."

Chrysalis stood in the main tent with five other changeling generals as they stared down at the map trying to decide their next move. Though most of it turned into bickering about who's plan was better.

"I'm telling you we should attack from the west to attack from behind!"

"It could be a trap and no doubt they would see us coming from their capital!"

"Not if we go underground!"

Chrysalis squeezed the bridge of her nose not really wanting to deal with these idiots. She shouldn't think ill of them but face it. They were the worst. They couldn't agree with each other on their plans which led to them bickering like a bunch of children who didn't get their way. Her train of thoughts was interrupted when the sound of the tent flap was being moved. "Who's dares interrupt....this....meeting?" The last word was a squeak as they saw it was Raam who walked with Scar and Skorge behind while also glaring at the generals. Chrysalis mouth moved into a smile at Raam though he didn't return it.

Raam walked towards Chrysalis until he stood next to her. "The town is no more."

"Good very good. This has opened another pathway for us to Canterlot." Chrysalis commented.

"What path shall we take then?" One General asked.

Raam looked down at the map. He saw three paths that would lead them to the enemy capital, but each had a disadvantage. He narrowed his eyes. He could have the whole changeling army move in one path, but that could be the perfect time for an ambush. "Report!"

Everyone looked to see a changeling had ran into the tent and quickly kneeled down on his knee. "The Equestrian army has separated their forces to guard the two paths."

Raam was silent as he thought then spoke. "How many does each force have?"

The scout lifted his head up and spoke. "Each force has only five thousand each with most of them being light infantry."

Raam was silent then began to chuckle which soon turned to full blown out laughter causing everyone to stare at him. Oh what good timing! Not only will he march to the capital and take the princesses head but he would also finally obliterate their army once and for all. Turning towards the general who was the highest ranking he spoke. "You will lead ten thousand changelings toward the path to their precious town called Ponyville. I will lead the other ten thousand up the mountain path."

"General! We don't know..."

Raam turned towards him causing the general to close his mouth in fear as Raam glared at him. "Send the entire army like I command! We will take their spirits. Meet them in battle and crush them! It ends tomorrow." The generals saluted and began to leave to begin the march.

Soon it was just Raam with his bodyguards and Chrysalis. Raam stared at Chrysalis for a little bit before turning towards his two guards. "Leave us." Raam hissed out causing the two to salute and walk out. After standing there to make sure no one was around Raam pulled Chrysalis towards him and crashed his teeth against her mouth. Chrysalis slipped her tongue in his teeth and rubbed her tongue over them. The two seemed to be like for hours when it was only minutes. the two finally separated while they stared at each other with their eyes. Raam had his forehead against hers. Chrysalis moved her head until it rested against his chest. The two stayed like that for what seemed forever. "The ponies could be leading you into a trap."

Raam scoffed. "Does it matter. They have lost most of their military. Their most prized General dead by my blade. The horde is high in morale. They can do nothing to stop us now."

Chrysalis didn't speak but instead tried to pull Raam tighter against her. Raam tried to pull away to leave but instead Chrysalis pulled him against her. "Please stay. With me. Tonight."

Raam stared at her then slowly picked her up in a bridal style and walked toward the bed that lay a few feet away from them. Raam lay her down only to be surprised when she used her magic to roll over where she was on top straddling him. She gave a sultry smile as she leaned down and smashed her lips against his teeth.

Raam smiled inside his head as he recalled the memories of what happened five nights ago. He had left Scar and Skorge behind to defend his Chrysalis. He let it go from his kind though as he has important business to attend to. Crushing the final resistance of this pathetic army. No doubt the other five thousand of them are destroyed with the ten thousand changelings coming to rejoin his part of the force with the war beasts. Raam glanced around this mountain path. He had to admit the Equestrians had indeed picked a fine spot......to die. Raam marched with his army up the mountain path. He was ahead his army leading it to their greatest victory. He stopped when he heard something. He actually took his surroundings in this time.

The mountain path was only narrowed enough that it would allow a rank of five from side to side. Glancing over towards the side he could see a deep fall but at the bottom he saw a river though he wasn't sure how deep it was. Glancing ahead he could see nothing. No sound. No torches. Nothing! He growled. Where were they? He turned his head when he heard something. looking at the noise he saw a small pebble bounce down the side of the mountain. Raam narrowed his eyes as he heard more noises. Glancing up his eyes widened at what he saw. Giant rocks had begun to roll down from the top and slammed into his forces killing five at a time. He saw that they had begun to panic. "Calm yourself's!"

Raam then watched as his soldiers had begun to fall one by one. Looking he saw arrows. So they were here! Glancing ahead he saw deeper into the mountain he saw the Guards in a formation he never seen before. He saw they had lock their shields together, practically forming a wall made of shields with spears sticking out. He saw their archers were way behind the line. Raam saw he could only send five soldiers a time into that formation. Raam pointed his knife yelling. "Slaughter them!" The changelings let out roar cries as they charged towards the formation while still being pelted by arrows.

The changelings slammed into the shield while many others were killed by spear thrusts. Raam watched as his army hacked and slashed but to no avail since the guard shield protected them. Raam growled. He should have brought some war beasts and not handed them all to the General. Raam could only watch as his army number continued to shrink quiet rapidly. He rushed towards where the shield wall stood and threw his whole weight into it. The ponies stumbled back, but it was that was need as changelings poured through broken formation. Raam slashed his knife through one guard neck completely severing it from his shoulders.

"RAAM!"

Raam stopped and slowly turned towards the one who called his name even as the battle raged on around him. There was the captain Shining Armor holding a round shield and sword. Raam growled as he slowly approached his next victim. Raam was a few feet away when Shining let out a roar and rushed him. Raam just sipy kicked him in the chest knocking him to the ground. Raam advanced towards and raised his foot and slammed down intending to crush Shining head but at the last second he moved and slashed with his sword. There was a ripping sound and blood dripping to the ground. Raam glanced down to see his chest had been sliced though it was just a wound.

Raam let rage consumed him and rushednShining swinging madly while Shining parried them, but the blows were so strong that his hand had began to shake and he could swear he heard his shield cracking. That soon turned true when Raam slashed down with all his weight behind his knife into Shining shield that it finally broke. Not giving him time Raam slammed his fist into his chest causing Shining to spit out blood but received a uppercut causing him to fall to the ground. Raam scoffed as he saw the captain slowly got to his feet. "Weak. Just like the rest of your race." Raam spoke as he advanced towards his next trophy. When he was a few feet away Shining quickly turned and threw his hands towards the General.

Raam raised his right arm to cover his eyes as he saw a bright light coming towards him then there was pain covering his entire right arm and the right side of his face. He felt his knife slipped from his grasp. When the light vanished Raam slowly lowered his arm and stared at it. His skin was completely burnt revealing a charred skin. His armor was also completely burnt off. Raam couldn't out of his right eye. He was cut off from his train of thought as he felt himself slammed into the side of the mountain before being picked up and slammed into the ground. Raam grunted but slowly stood up only to grunt as he felt two objects thrust him. Glancing down he saw two swords buried into his stomach.
Raam growled and grabbed the two guards and lifted them up into the air causing them to pull their swords outs. Raam quickly snapped their necks and threw them to the ground.

"This is from General Tullius! You bastard!" Raam heard a shout and looked u just in time to see Shining thrust a sword into his gut. Raam recognized the sword. It was the general. Raam grunted even as he stumbled backward towards the edge causing the sword to be pulled from his gut. Raam could see his vision was becoming blurry, but he was able to see his army was being cut down. He turned towards the Captain only to find his hand glowing. Before Raam could react he saw Shining thrust his hand forward and an invisible force slammed into him knocking him off the edge. Raam stared up at the sky as he fell with only one thought on his mind.

"Chrysalis......" With that last thought Raam closed his eyes as he fell into the river being swept away.
