A Black Knight For Chrysalis (the 2nd righting)

Equestrian badlands

Neox's pov

I was ringed by what looked like nature kin, or I would've thought that if they weren't on all fours. Oh, and colored like skittles, the mare closest to me was golden brown coat with jade green main. Thank you nagg for the pony terms, on her flank was the picture of a red cross ballroom mask. Darkness only knows what it meant, cause I sure didn't. "Ank ou or t'a mana, o no, ah on't ink ah s'ill eed o'bit ore, ow ear t'a rub, t'a mana eeds, to be mine by t'a spill. Do t'at an' I promass ou our eart'z dezire." Oh trolls I haven't been this smashed since Dionysus had an wine and sake drinking contest.

Taskmaster bombadier's pov

We were already well into the quota, but the amount of love filled hearts this creature can provide alone, could get me promoted.  But I would have to release all these scouts even A-69, but there is no way she can make back her debt and dredge up enough to make a bid for the new queenship, but if she does, her legacy as queen will be cemented and acting queen. Pupa won't like that., no not one little bit. Oh just goop it!! the good far outweigh the bad, IF IT CAN DELIVER.

"okay, but i want some proof you can do what you clam . . . ummm. who are you again?"

"oh ah gurs ah eed oo nt'rduze mas'lf. ah 'm neox t'a spell feind. 'ow o an' watt ar' ya?"

"i'm dusty devil. we are a nomadic tribe of desert unicorns. dose that make you happy?"

"Nuut 'ealy, yah lied, yah lied on yah n'me an' yah 'ace. 'Ow ay want t'a t'uth! t'en ya'll be Danny."

It guessed, and I told a perfect lie and yet it guessed. This 'Neox' was TROUBLE, he had to be stopped. If Neox sold his, yes the "it" was most definitely male. Powers to Celestia and then she gives to the solar and lunar guard corps who will make them available to the masses, meaning a genocidal shortage of love. Thing were bad enough as is, ending in the extinction of the Changeling race.

No. no! no, no, no! I, Bombardier a taskmaster, must nip this awful fate in the bud. All available lings fire enhanced and empowered magic missile spell. Post haste! love consumption is authorized.

Eleven wisps of green magic royaled from the disguised changelings horns. "Oh you poor foolish deceivers, i'm a spell fiend as i told you, I consume the basis all magic, Mystic Ether! Your spells are useless, nigh worthless. that is if I let them be."

Chrysalis's pov

The power and skill of this 'Neox' creature are quite . . . . something. The way that fool taskmaster bomb-flank, the whole mission would be for nought! this was a simple grab and run. When this become a hive guard mission? and why are we attacking a potential goose that lays the golden egg? This is folly! to save the love if nothing else. I made a gamble that made the one in canterlot look like a sure bet, BUT if it did go through, and that was a A BIG IF.oh boy this would be  quite the bonbon in her chocolate box.Wait! I have a crazy idea and if it fails, run! I'm going to brake the one most sacred rule we have; never show yourself!

Chrysalis focused on her true form, a tall black insectoid unicorn, with the wings of a giant fly, legs riddled with holes and a green main fin showing her demotion from queen to a queen-in-waiting. Her eye no longer were slit but one piece. Around her neck was her scouting chain, a far cry from the from the golden unicorn facade. "I'm Chrysalis, a queen-in-waiting changeling. I apologize for the deceit, but as parasitic love eating shapeshifters, who can drain a reluctant pony into a mindless comatose husk if not careful. You can see secrecy must be maintained."

"Well if you would give me room and mana, I will love you till the day you die."

"Well this a very good thing to hear, because I don't plan on dying just now."
