Changeling Empire

As the ship approach Ponyville, Chrysalis glares at the town with fury. She has lost everything because of the place.

"You worthless piece of garbage!", Empress Irian roars as she use her magic to slam Chrysalis to the wall and the sounds of bones breaking can be heard. Miasma, Ambrosia, Myxine, and Calliphora simply laugh at Chrysalis punishment.

"Please, mother! I did my best!", Chrysalis cries.

"You said the same thing with that Canterlot Wedding Fiasco!", Irian scream slamming Chrysalis the the ground before continuously stomping on her for each time she say "fail". "You failed to impress me when you were a child! You failed to defeat Celestia in your first invasion! You failed to take Canterlot! You fail to keep control of your hive! You fail! Fail! Fail! Fail!
Fail! Fail!"

After one last stomp Chrysalis' body was badly crushed with her limbs twitching. Gold Star checks the body.

"She's dead.", Gold Star said.

"The hell with letting her die! Death is just the merciful way of my punishment.", Irian screams using her magic to restore life back to Chrysalis. "I'm going to keep kill her, bring her back to life and kill her again until I get bored of it!"

As time move one (Season 7), Chrysalis would suffer one torture after another day after day.

Empress Irian summons Gold Star to the throne room.

"You called for me?", Gold Star asks.

"Yes, seeing how you are a smart pony and all that. I was wondering if you could make Chrysalis into something I would be proud of?", Irian asks.

"I do have something of use, but it only applies to a Changeling that feeds on rage and hatred.", Gold Star answers. "And I'm afraid Chrysalis is not one of those."

"I can fix that problem easily.", Irian said turning to one of her guards. "Bring me my worthless daughter."

Two guards enter the throne room dragging the now palish grey and skeletal looking Chrysalis.

"Good news, daughter. You have another chance to redeem yourself and the first step is to give back the power of feeding love I once bestowed upon you.", Irian said with glee to Chrysalis' horror.

"No! Please! It's all I have left!", Chrysalis begs.

"Worry not, I'll find a suitable replacement to use this power better than you."

"Fear not, Chrysalis. You're modification won't be a bit painful.", Gold Star said. "It'll be painful enough to make you wish you were dead."

"I was the daughter of one of the most powerful beings on his very planet! I had everything! A title, hive, my very life! But I was robbed of it all by the ponies, by Starlight Glimmer!", Chrysalis growls. Saliva drips onto the deck melting the wood.

An Automaton approaches and makes several beeps.

"I see. Tell my sister, I'm on my way.", Chrysalis said and the Automaton turns and leaves. "I'll get it all back! No matter the cost!"

In Ponyville about two hundred Automatons are causing chaos in the town. One cuts a table in half, another tears down a food stall, one toss a grenade inside a chariot blowing it up, and one was approaching a group of fillies and colts cowering by the corner. Just as it raises it's sword Starlight Glimmer shoots it down with her magic.

"All of you inside the castle!", Starlight orders with Trixie leading the them.

Spike stands before a squad of Automatons raising his fists.

"You better tell me where Twilight and my friends are or I'll go rough on ya!", Spike warns. "I'm not afraid of you!"

The Automatons raise their swords, causing Spike to laugh nervously.

"When I said going rough ya, I meant...", Spike explains before an Automaton sends him flying with a powerful kick.

Discord with a snap of his fingers blows every single Automatons up.

"I don't what the deal is? I can easily wipe out an entire army of empty suits of armor with a snap of my fingers.", Discord said.

"I guess I got worried for nothing then.", Starlight said.

"Now, now we can't have that now can we.", Ambrosia said standing on a building with five Automatons next to her although one of them appears different from the others.

Automaton Officer

"Are you a Changeling Queen?", Starlight asks seeing a somewhat resemblance with Chrysalis.

"Bingo! I am Ambrosia of the Joy and my role is feed on the joy and happiness of others.", Ambrosia cheers hopping like crazy. "Oh, I'm also the younger sister of ex-queen Chrysalis. She got lost her title when she came back home. Mom got really mad and killed her, brings her back to life, kills her again, brings her back again, kills her, revives her, kills her, life, death, life, death, life, death..."

"I believe they get the point, mistress.", the officer Automaton said stopping Ambrosia. "I believe our poor troops are in need of a boost."

"You're right!", Ambrosia gasps. "Are the preparations complete?"

"They are.", the officer answers as the four other Automatons are carrying musical instruments.

"What are they going to do, sing us to death?", Discord laughs.

As Ambrosia sings the pieces of the destroyed Automatons are slowly putting themselves back together until they are whole again.

"Uh, Discord? Is it just me or are these things putting themselves back together?", Starlight asks.

"That's impossible! They didn't use this ability during their fight against Shining Armor.", Discord said.

"It's Ambrosia's song! Somehow it's powering them up and giving them new abilities.", Starlight said.

"Then we must take her out first.", Discord declares.

"I don't think so!", the officer Automaton said jumping off the building confronting the duo. "You recognize this?"

The officer pulls out a crystal causing Discord's eyes to bulge out and scream.

"Discord? What's wrong?", Starlight asks in concern as Discord hides behind her.

"That's the Crystal of Entrapment!", Discord said. "It is as powerful as the Elements of Harmony. It can trap any magical beings no matter how powerful with no means of escaping without the right words."

"Correct, and I using it on you. Seal, Discord!", the officer said causing the crystal to glow and fire a beam straight towards Discord and sucks him inside. Due to it's small size the crystal is rather uncomfortable for Discord's size. "One problem solved and one more remain."

Starlight charge her horn ready to fight.

"I'm afraid I'm not your foe in this battle.", the officer said pointing to the sky. "She is."

Starlight looks up and sees a black blur falling down towards her. She jumps out of the way as the blur makes an impact to the ground.

"It's been a while, Starlight Glimmer.", a familiar voice cackles. "I promise I'll have my revenge on you and here I am!"

"Chrysalis?", Starlight asks as the dust clears only to gasp in horror at what she sees.

(Note: I have permission.)

"So you do remember me.", Chrysalis said with her tongue sticking out with a hiss. "I'm flattered."

"What happened to you?", Starlight asks which only made Chrysalis angry.

"You happened!", Chrysalis roars. "Because of you and your three friends I was declared less than dirt to my kind and had to suffer a fate much worse than death at the hands of my mother! My success in taking the most beloved ponies was my chance to gain my mother's respect and you took it all away from me and because of that I become this monstrosity!"

With that she bucks a building behind her with her back legs causing the building to crack and crumble.

"Once I'm done with you I'll hunt Thorax and those traitors have them suffer a slow painful death that they'll beg me to finish them quickly!", Chrysalis screams with the rage aura building around her and she devours it all. She then starts spitting acidic saliva forcing Starlight to move to avoid getting hit.

"Why do you still obey your mother after all she has done to you?", Starlight asks. "Why don't you stand up to her?"

Hearing that cause the Automatons and Ambrosia to look at her and laugh.

"You sure are coo-coo! About one thousand others before Chrysalis tried to do just that.", Ambrosia said. "One thousand tried. One thousand died."

"Her majesty Empress Irian is a being just a powerful as Lauren Faust and she is the law of the Changeling Empire.", the officer explains. "If there is something she hates then everyone in the Empire hates it. If there is something she loves then everyone in the Empire loves it."

"But that isn't right!", Starlight protest.

"I'm afraid you have troubles of your own.", the officer said as Chrysalis breathe fire out of her mouth. Forcing Starlight to flee with Chrysalis giving chase.

"Chrysalis, what have you become?", Starlight said quietly with sadness.

"The modifications done on Chrysalis made her into something the Empress want.", the officer said to Ambrosia. "The perfect killing machine."

"Mother, please! Don't let him this!", Chrysalis cries as the Automatons straps her onto the table. Gold Star picks up a scalpel and goes for the jaws. 'I'm sorry... I'm sorry for being born weak. Help me, mom... Help me...'

Gold picks up a jaw bone of a dragon and change it's shape to that of a Changeling before using it to replace the one he removed. Chrysalis scream in pain as she does so. He then replace her fangs with those of a venomous snake. He tears off her tail and replace it with a scorpion tail. He continues to add on more modifications on Chrysalis.

"Impressive at this point most patients would have lost their sanity for enduring this amount of pain, but let's see how long you'll endure.", Gold Star said continuing his work. "I've done with the outside, now for the inside. Time to open you up!"

Starlight flees toward Twilight's Castle and manage to make it inside.

"Close the gate!", Starlight screams as she and Trixie slams the gate shut, locks it up and barricade it.

"What's going on, Starlight?", Trixie asks the breathing heavily Starlight.

"Chrysalis... monstrous thing... acid... fire...", Starlight said with each breath of air.

"I wouldn't worry about it.", Trixie said calmly. "This castle is designed by the Tree of Harmony to withstand even an alicorn powered Tirek. There is no way she can break in."

Chrysalis cuts the gate into pieces like butter with the blades on the forehooves.

"Did you really think something like that would stop me?", Chrysalis roars.

"Honestly, yes.", Trixie admits as Chrysalis approach the two.

"I'll finally exact my revenge on you and my revenge will be devouring your body alive!", Chrysalis declares preparing to take a bite only for the officer to grab her horn stopping her. "Let go, Bogart!"

"Our job is to cause a distraction and that's what we have done.", Bogart said. "Rose has successfully infiltrated Canterlot and Gold Star ordered everyone to retreat. Also Calliphora has something that can be useful to us."

"I may no longer be a Queen, but not even you will stop me from taking my revenge!", Chrysalis said.

"Then I'll tell your mother that you have been disobeying orders."

"Tch! Fine, but this thing better be worth it!", Chrysalis said flying out of the castle with Bogart turning to Trixie and Starlight.

"I'm impressed that you manage to live. During her test run, Chrysalis slaughtered one thousand Automatons in less than five minutes.", Bogart said passing the crystal containing Discord to Twilight. "You can have him back as a reward, but the words to free him is something you must figure our yourself."

With that said Bogart leaves, leaving both Starlight and Trixie defeated and frightened.
