Transformation II (First Draft)

Well that certainly surprised the hell out of me. Zoey telling me that she was the one I rescued during that convention? Telling me thank you for everything and changed her point of view of Bronies. I now feel happy about myself. I just guided, with a little help, a person out of the darkness and into the light. That kiss on the cheek was a payment of my guidance.

I trotted around the area of the Chrysalis Empire and it was beautiful. In a weird kind of way. You know the nightmare before Christmas? The town was like that and the changelings were prospering with other ponies, unicorns and Pegasus. I made my way to the castle which was getting a remodel because it scared the living shit out of her subjects. She is really trying to go for change.

I made it to the castle doors and one of the changeling guards walked up to me.

“It is nice to see you Sir Trey. Queen Chrysalis will be waiting for you at the garden.” He said.

Garden? Wow. She is really trying get serious about change. Before she did not even have a garden. All she had was a fountain pumping black water and dying plants. When I entered the garden everything was all green and there were all kinds of flowers and the fountain is now pumping out fresh purified and clear water.

“Like what you see?” I heard a voice behind me and it was Chrysalis is a Royal Armor dress.

“I do like the changes and you have certainly improved the last time I met you.” I said.

“Yes, but it was all in the past. Now would you like to have tea with me?” she asked.

I complied with the idea. I was still exhausted trying to catch the next train before coming here. So having a drink would sooth my taste buds to feel energized. I sat down and she levitated her tea pot to pour the cup of tea and I saw her aura color was a very light green. Before she had very dark green when she was evil and enraged and now with it changed I can sense that there is peace in her body.

“I have to address something before we talk about the ‘basement’” I said.

She gave me the cup of tea and I levitated it so I can take a drink. The taste of the tea was amazing, a little bit of herbs, honey then some sugar was all the right balance. ‘Note to self: get tea recipe from Chrysalis.’ I thought.

“What is it you would like to talk about?” she asked.

“Why are your subjects not going outside your Empire? I got this information from myself, Twilight, Celestia and Cadance. So I was just wondering why?” I asked.

She finished her tea in her cup, set it aside and got up.

She sighed, “The truth is that they are scared to go outside.”

“Come again?”

“Ever since you passed that law that all Changelings and ponies alike are equal they are somehow attached to this place and not wanting to leave. Which I found peculiar. So I found the source of what was controlling my subjects and found that Rainbow Gate made out of Crystal.” She said.

“It must be the guardians seal becoming weak then.” I said.

“What do you mean?”

I explained to her what I told Zoey and the others and she was shocked.

“You mean I could become evil again? I really do not mind the power, but I do not want to become evil.” She said shyly.

I raised an eyebrow, “Did Nemesis get in contact with you?”

“Yes he did and he was menacing and growing in power. He might become more powerful than you Trey. I also did not listen to him at all and he went away saying, ‘I was not worthy.’”

“It is a good thing that you did not listen to him and followed him and I do not care about who is stronger here. I want you to show me what the state of the seal is.”

“Very well come this way.”

I followed her to the basement of the castle leading to a construction of a mine leading deeper and deeper though centuries of ground and dirt compacted into stone to bury this evil than might be coming back.

She stopped at a door with an enchanted spell on it and turned to face me.

“I can let you through for a little while, this spell is supposed to keep out the dark mist that is covering the area. It consumed some of the changelings and caused some accidents. They raged without event thinking.” She said.

“This is the embodiment of pure evil itself and I cannot blame for innocent lives being manipulated to do evil. Please I need to see this for myself.” I said.

She sighed and opened the door, “You have thirty minutes, not for any longer.”

I bowed and entered the door; then she closed it behind me.

It was pitch black and I held my breath. I continued and activated my light spell and I could see about 5 feet, but it was really thick. Then I hit my head on a crystal bar.

“Ouch.” I said.

My horn touched the gate and it lit up the room which got rid of the dark mist. Then I heard some rumbling from the other side.

Then I heard it speak, “Hmmm…”

“Hello Nemesis.” I said.

“Funny. I did not expect a male Alicorn to approach me like this. You have some big balls little one. The Changelings energy is quite delicious and helpful for getting me stronger” He said.

Then I saw his dark red eyes open and it was the color of blood red. He showed his teeth when he smiled and they were not white they were dark grey. Making this guy really bad news. This also explains why the Changelings have been staying here becaue their energy is being slowly sapped away.

He continued, “Well this gate is almost broken. I can make this world mine again with the guardians all gone.”

‘He must not know about the reincarnation of the guardians so I better be quiet about that.’ I thought.

“Let me tell you something. I want to hear your story about how you were born into this world.” I asked.

He laughed at what I said, “You come in here to find out about the damage about the gate and now you want some chit chat? This is going to be fun.”

I sat down and waited for him to speak, “It started around fifteen centuries ago, and I was born to take this world after I defeated my sister. My sister was my total opposite and we loved to fight. We competed in wrestling to see who the ultimate one was. Was it light or was it dark. Soon I was able to kill my sister and took over this land. Then she created those fucking guardians who could defeat me and soon sealed me away into this gate. Before they finished me off I sent several seeds of evil into the ground so innocent bystanders can become evil with a purpose. I sensed some of the seeds went to another world into, I believe a lot of volcanoes.”

I dropped my mouth, “Y-you were the one who destroyed my Planet?”

“Hmm?”

“You said that your seeds went into some volcanoes and where was this world?”

“I believe it was called earth. When the gate started to crack it created some disasters over the centuries, but when the gate lost this bar of crystal to your left it probably ended it.” He said smiling.

“You son of a bitch.”

He was laughing, “What are you upset for? Why do you care about this planet anyway?”

I gritted my teeth, “Because I used to be at that Planet! I was saved and teleported to this world. You are a terrible monster!”

He grinned, “I try. Let me turn that anger and amplify that shall we?”

Some darkness leaked out of the fence and I absorbed it and turned into my Yin Yang form.

“Well you certainly have huge surprises up your sleeves. I have never seen a pony or any other creature take on this darkness and convert it to magic, but you see this is not dark magic. This is pure evil darkness.”

I felt my energy getting stronger with rage and I was crouching down from this pain of this darkness. I tried to walk towards the door, but fell right next to the bar that had fallen to the ground. I saw my reflection of my face and I felt my heart beating slower, slower then I blinked and saw my eyes were blood red.

“Now become one with the darkness.” Nemesis said.
