Chapter 1: The Beginning of Jeopardy
This is the beginning where heroes and heroines by protecting their own land of life, Equestria. The land of Equestria was normal as it seems, but those evildoers who came here to conquer their land and take over their land that they've built. But to this, this is different like any other. Evildoers like Queen Chrysalis herself has almost conquered Canterlot by her trusted swarm of Changelings, but the plan had failed once again. But to her evil plot, it's a lot different than the last time she did. But then, she wanted revenge. A great revenge that she wanted to make any pony suffer. This was all she wanted.
She called out her nephew Blackstone, the prince of Changelings who does a lot of things, maybe just the same other like normal Changelings. "I guess my evil plan didn't even go as well as the last time they tried to stop us, but this is gonna be different... Blackstone! Come out here!"
Blackstone went to her throne then bows to the queen. "Yes, Aunt Chrysalis? What brings me here?"
Chrysalis gave him a look just in case if he's the one who can finish off any pony. "I say Blackstone, you look quite strong and fully matured."
"What makes you say that auntie?" He raised an eyebrow, looking a bit confused.
"Oh, you know... I just wanted to know if you can handle taking over The Crystal Empire yourself."
"Wait, so you wanted me to take over that empire myself with a lot of useless ponies? Pfft! I can handle this, leave it to me!" Blackstone placed his hoof on his chest, feeling a bit cocky of handling to take over the empire himself.
"Are you sure about handling to conquer the empire yourself? You couldn't go alone without your army of Changelings, you might lose by these six ponies and Princess Celestia!" She hissed at her thought that her plan might not be amusing after the plan had failed.
"Princess Celestia? I've never heard that name before, is she your enemy to our colony?"
Chrysalis' eyes were with flames of anger. "She's not that kind of enemy that I remember, she's my nemesis!"
"How long are you two been ene- I mean... nemesises?" He quickly corrects himself.
"For a long time... I beat her once, she was weak like some other pawn who gave her power out."
"And what happened?"
"That little pet of Celestia's Twilight Sparkle and her friends blew me and my Changelings away!"
Blackstone felt very bad seeing her suffer without any success to her evil plot, so he decides to give it a go and conquer the empire with his own bare hooves, along with Chrysalis' army, if so to speak. "So if that's what you want revenge, then I'll do it for you, as my henchmen a sentry." He bowed to Chrysalis, she seems rather amused to him bowing down. "Very well then, make their living dreams into nightmares while you suck all the powers of any pony who gets in your way. And don't let that little Twilight Sparkle beat you like I ended up." She faced directly to the balcony, watching a million Changelings making nasty stuffs. "The Crystal Empire is not that far, you can bring some of the Changelings with you, Blackstone." "Guards!!! Bring me those Changelings." Chrysalis ordered the guard to bring them over the Changelings as he did.
Blackstone was a bit ready for this until he hid something on his bag that Chyrsalis didn't even get to check. "You're my only chance..." He said, talking to the bag.
"There, I brought your army of Changelings, not get out there... and make your aunt proud." Chrysalis left the gates open then flies out of the castle.
Blackstone was about to go, but was stopped by Chrysalis. "What's the holdup?"
Chrysalis gave him a stern look. "If you lose against that puny Twilight Sparkle and her friends with Celestia by her side, I will force you to do all of the dirty work like the butlers did, do you understand?"
Blackstone begins to sweat. "I-I understand, auntie!"
"Excellent.... now you can go." Chrysalis left the gate open for him to leave, so Blackstone flew away to The Crystal Empire.
"Blackstone's our only miracle to make any revenge for me that I've suffered, it's time.. Mwahahah mwahahah RAHAHAHAHA!!!!" She made an evil laugh with lightnings on it.
Blackstone flew across the distance with a lot of Changelings by his side, he seems rather confident yet scared if he doesn't succeed. If only he can use some power that he hid in the bag, maybe that's the one. So he keeps it as his secret weapon, to repel any body who gets on his way. "I'm saving this for you... as my instrument." He pets his bag then continues to fly over to The Crystal Empire. It seems that they're almost there in reach, but there is some kind of invisible shield which keeps any villains blocked.
"A force field, huh?" Blackstone said, thinking of a way to enter.
"How about we transform ourselves into any random ponies?" The Changeling replied, knowing that this might work.
" I guess we'll give it a shot, but only all of you can do it. I will be the one to sneak past those guards... understand?"
As the Changelings land to their feet, transforming into some random ponies, they understand. "We understand!"
"Nice...." He slowly took his weapon out of the bag, then hides it in his back. "I'm coming for you."
As the Changelings who magically turned themselves into some random ponies has entered the empire while Blackstone has to find another way in to get the job done. As the view of Blackstone finding his way in inside the empire, in the land where it's almost as close in The Crystal Empire, a mysterious stallion with a rugged cloak along with his companion and friend who was actually cloaked to, as he was levitating, wanders to the middle of wasteland which nothing else is around.
"So, our quest here is to find the Crystal Princess and discover all of what love is, right Skip?" He said as he faced towards his friend.
"Well you can't deny on having that quest that your father insisted you to do."
"*sigh* I guess the location must have been The Crystal Empire all along, huh?"
"Well according to my map, It says that we're almost there to the empire."
He sighed with relief. "Oh yes.... no we're talking!"
"Talking? About what?"
"Eh... it's nothing..."
"Uh-huh..." Skip stared at his friend with a stern look on his face.
As they were heading to the empire, Skip's cloak is getting all warmer. So he decided to take it off as Blitzee watches over Skip taking off his cloak. "Eh... why? Is that too warm for you?" He said, raising an eyebrow. Skip started panting without any drink to bring. "I... can't.... take.... this.... any.... longer...." Skip snapped his fingers as he summoned a small dark cloud which is about to rain, it starts pouring down as Skip was refreshed in that, and his friend's cloak got wet.
"SKIP! WHY DID YOU DO THAT??!!!" He yelled at him fiercely.
"I was thirsty..." He replied, innocently.
"*sigh* Nevermind, anyways... my cloak is wet, so I can't wear any protection from blizzards and other winds..." He took off his cloak, as he heads out to The Crystal Empire with his buddy Skip.
As Blackstone made his way to the force field, he puts out his weapon and uses it to cut down the force field like some kind of perfect circle, nopony even notices Blackstone. As he enters the empire, he quickly changed himself a random crystal pony, trying his best to impersonate or to mimic somepony. "Eh... h-hi, wonderful day we're having?" The fake crystal pony said, with a nervous smile on his face.
"It sure is." A random crystal pony said, not minding his own business. As he finds his way in the castle, they were guards here protecting the gates as they wield their spears. Blackstone doesn't even know what to do, however he does have a plan in mind. He quickly took a few sleeping gas grenades which he got it in his bag for some reason. He threw it gently, the guards noticed a small black ball, so they decided to check that out.
"Hey bud, take a look at this little heavy thing." He took the small ball by using his magic.
"A heavy thing? Is that some kind o-" As he was about to say something, the grenade has sprayed gas all over their faces, they yawned loudly, as they made them asleep to buy some time for Blackstone to make his way in without getting caught.
As Blackstone making his way in, a couple of guards with Shining Armor came by as they wanted to check the gates where the guards are asleep. Shining has ordered them to switch their shifts to them. Blackstone didn't mind of seeing this as he tries enter in the throne room.
Shining and a couple of guards are at the gates of the castle now, as they checked those two guards who were sleeping like slackers. A couple of guards started chuckling as Shining wakes them up.
"Hey, wake up! It's your Captain speaking!" Shining shouted loudly.
Two sleepy guards woke up in an uncertain way of any guard. "Y-yes Captain! What's the problem?"
"You two fell asleep right?"
"Y-yes Captain, w-wait... if that ball meant to say that it puts us asleep... that means there's an intruder here!"
Shining Armor didn't even get his point. "I'm not sure if there's any intruder who barges in our castle."
Two guards behind Shining Armor looks at him funny. "Wanna bet?" Two guards aren't actually guards at all, it was the Changelings who were luring him at the gate to him at them, so Blackstone can make his way in to invade the empire. "Oh no... the Changelings are back!" Two guards said it in unison as they were appalled and stunned by seeing those two Changelings.
"What are you two doing here? Didn't Cadance and I blasted you all with your Queen far away?" He took a step forward, looking all fearless.
"We were, but our Commander for today Blackstone has up for his sleeves." The 1st Changeling said.
"Blackstone? Who's Blackstone?"
"You'll find out..." Both of the Changelings uses their magic quickly hitting them as Shining Armor and the two guards are knocked out.
"Now, let's go see if our Commander has sneaked his way in, we'll fool those pathetic guards just for the Commander to give him a chance to invade this castle." The 2nd Changeling said with an evil smile on his face.
"This'll be fun, nyahahahahaha!" They quickly changed back to their guard forms as they entered back the castle.
Blackstone has already made his way into the front gate of the throne room where Princess Cadence sits there and protects her land. He simply made an idea as he turns himself into Shining Armor. He trots his way into the throne room, not looking at the guard's eyes. The guards greeted them with delight. He didn't even mind it as he purposely drops another sleeping gas grenade in front of them. "Hey you forget your-" The grenade sprayed at their faces, quickly made them to sleep.
He enters the throne room with Cadence, she faced backwards as she's staring at the view from the balcony. "Hello, Shining Armor."
"Shoot! She did noticed my people and I sneaking our way in!" He thought to himself.
"Just act natural..." He thought again. "Uh... hi dear, what ever is the matter?" He took a step forward, feeling very nervous.
"So... Queen Chrysalis sent you and your people to invade our home, am I right?" She turned her face to his, as she glows her horn straight directly to the fake Shining Armor, blasting him.
He dodged the beam, as he's shaking with fright. "C'mon Cadence, knock that one off... it's me Shining Armor!"
"Don't play tricks on me, Changeling! I know who you are, and I know you're not my husband!"
"What are you talking about? And what's this Changeling thing all about? I thought we.... um.... we...eh..." The fake Shining Armor started thinking, and then he finishes his sentence. "I thought we blasted them with our love!"
"I don't believe you... GUARDS!!!" She calls out her guards.
"Yes Princess?"
"Take him out while I get to see Shining, understand?"
Two guards smiled devilishly. "Oh... we understand alright." They blasted her with magic, knocking Cadence out as Blackstone stands superior with Cadence on his feet. "It looks like the Crystal Princess is knocked out cold... shall we begin the invasion Commander?" The 1st Changeling said.
"Indeed we are..." He quickly changed back to his form as all Changelings has finally entered the castle.
As he triumphantly celebrates shortly, all Changelings came out and started destroying all of the buildings, turning the into their hive. Cadance can barely move as she gets a piece of paper, writing down an emergency note, and sending it to Celestia immediately. "H-help..... invasion..... Changelings..... " She fainted.
As for the two of them, The stallion and his friend Skip came along into the entrance of The Crystal Empire, they look at everypony running into their own lives, now already in danger. The stallion got very confused on what's going on. "Wait, whatever is going on here? What's going on?" He grabbed a random crystal pony who is actually very afraid, panicking like crazy. "The Changelings are back! The Changelings are back! AAHHHH!!!!" He ran into his life while he stands there doing nothing.
"That was weird... I thought he... oh...." He looked up at the skies with a lot of Changelings flying all over The Crystal Empire.
"I guess he's right... maybe we should go check out the castle right away!"
"You're right! Let's go!" He quickly hurries to the castle along with Skip.
At the balcony, Blackstone can't take his eyes away with all of the destruction they've caused. And it looks likes he's been searching for something, something that The Crystal Empire protects it from ice and snow. The Crystal Heart... "And now... we'll get the Crystal Heart and use it to feed more magic to us... then we can be as powerful than those weak and pathetic ponies, I should definetly watch out for Princess Celestia's pet Twilight Sparkle.... I'll see you verrry soon... very very soon..."
