                  It was a nice sunny day for all pony kind, they could play and read and do whatever they pleased, except the changelings. They were having the worst time of their lives. They starved, died, lost hope, died . Their queen, Queen Chrysalis, saw this all happening before her very eyes. She knew very well, that to succeed, you need a team.

                  Hidden far from Equestria, in a large changeling cave that was littered with starving changelings, Queen Chrysalis sat on her black and greenish blue heap of something with many holes in it she called a throne. She scanned the area, only to find greyish blue stone walls along with more greyish blue stone walls. The only real decorations were the dead and dying changelings along with some glowing green areas here and there.

                  "Captian!" Queen Chrysalis shouted. Instantly a bulky but skinny changeling showed up. He wore dark blue armor and he looked like he would do anything to eat, even if it meant killing Celestia.

                     "Yes my queen?" the changeling asked in a slithery voice, his empty eyes showing no emotions.

                     "Tell me where I can find," Chrysalis paused, thinking of who to find first. "King Sombra....."

                      "In the Ice of the North, my queen."

                     "Good. Get me two of your best men and meet me at the castle doors," Queen Chrysalis said, rising from her "throne".


                      Three hours later, the changeling queen and her few companions landed in snow with their terribly built chariot. They were supposedly where the King of Shadows, King Sombra, was.

                     "Are you sure this will work my q-q-queen?" one of the changelings asked as he unhooked himself from the chariot he had to pull. Almost immediately, his hooves started to sink deep in the snow once he took a step or two.

                    "Yes it will work. Just let me do my reviving spell and it will go just as planned," Queen Chrysalis said smoothly.  Her horn ignited a sickening light green and she pointed it at the snowy ground. She used the majority her little energy to take the remains of the once living king and gaher them up. Once they all collected, she was lifted inti the cold air with the remains. The grey and red pieces of King Sombra spinned and soon in its place the was the Great King Sombra. They both dropped from the air, with King Sombra landing on the changeling queen.

                    "Hmmm. What has happened? Why am I on this changeling?" King Sombra asked himself to test if he was really back, and to his surprise, he really was.

                    "It's Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings and if I wasn't asking you to help me take over Equestria, I would bite you." Queen Chrysalis snapped, shaking the Shadow King off while she stood up.

               "Take over Equestria? Sounds like a plan. Where do we start?" King Sombra asked quickly with a sinister smile, for he already wanted revenge on the ponies that took his life.

                "First we need to get Discord and Nightmare Moon," Queen Chrysalis said motioning to the green mess that she came in.

               "So how will we get to them? They're both reformed." King Sombra asked while getting in the carriage with Queen Chrysalis, but not paying much attention to what he as doing for he accidentally stepped on Chrysalis's hoof.

                 "Sombra, it's simple you convince Discord and I will convince Luna," Queen Chrysalis said turning into Celestia with an angered growl. Along with her, the carriage turned gold and the changelings pulling it turned into the usual white guards that pull Celestia's carriage. Only one changeling stayed the same, following previous orders Chyrsalis had given him.

                "Isn't Celestia going to be at the castle?" King Sombra asked, watching the ground go farther and farther away as they lifted off into the frozen sky.

               "She is currently on a mission at elsewhere and I just happen to know that Discord is going to be at the Castle so that's when you come in," Queen Chyrsalis said pulling out the best impression of Celestia.

              "What about this changeling?" King Sombra asked, motioning to the changeling who didn't transform with his hoof and getting on Queen Chrysalis's nerves.

              "Bait, I will use him to get Luna and after that he will help you get Discord." Queen Chrysalis took in a deep breath and shouted "Also, STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!!!"

               "Ok, yeessh. Don't have to be rude about it!"

               "That's it your walking!"

              "What?" King Sombra asked last minute.

               Sombra was wrapped in Chrysalis's green aura and was thrown off the carriage. The Captian jumped off the carriage and caught the Shadow king before he hit the soft but harsh ground. Using his teeth he carried King Sombra back to the carriage and set him down with little gentleness.

             "Much better," Queen Chrysalis mused to herself when she didn't hear anything from the king.

            Soon the Canterlot was in sight and it was going to soon be ruled by villains.
