Changeling Empire
The Emotional Queens Part 4 - Calliphora of the Void and Gold Star's Plan
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"It sure is quiet today.", a crystal guard pony said in a guard booth.
"Tell me about it.", the other guard said. "There hasn't been any excitement since the Crystalling."
"Hey, is there suppose to be a giant centaur-like thing wearing armor coming towards us or did I have too many spicy food?", the first guard asks. The second guard looks up and sees the said creature coming towards them or rather already over them ready to step on the boot.

The two guards scream and evacuate the booth as the creature crushes it under it's hoof before continuing on to the Crystal Empire.
"Good work, Eligor.", Calliphora said sitting on the creature's shoulder. "Once we reach the Crystal Empire we take teh Crystal Heart or maybe that baby Alicorn."
"If I may, why did Chrysalis steal the Crystal Heart as well during her last failure?", Eligor asks. "It's more than enough to make Chrysalis just as strong as you."
"True, but not only is she weak she is also as dumb as a brick.", Calliphora said. "She thought if she could conquer Equestria without special abilities like us she would get mother's respect. She is born a failure and will live a failure... and a freak of nature."
"Approaching the Crystal Empire!", Eligor reports nearing the city.
"Let's give them a good scare.", Calliphora said creating a magical hand to snap fingers. Four shadowed figures jump off Eligor and lands in front of a battalion of Crystal Guards, but what shocks the guards is that the figures are alicorns wearing armor that completely covers their entire body.
"Surprise? You think Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight and the by baby are the only alicorns?", Calliphora asks lying down. "If I recall you have to pass some test, earn the rights or something like that. We'll I'm afraid they're outdated. Gold Star was able to find a shortcut to make any ponies alicorn although he had to sacrifice over hundreds of ponies to finally succeed. After all you can't make an omelette without breaking lots of eggs."
"You think this is funny?!", Flash Sentry shouts in disgust. "You killed hundreds of ponies just to make an alicorn?"
"I don't give a f***, you think this world is all good and evil! Light and dark!", Calliphora said. "Answer this simple question. There is a serial killer holding a little girl hostage, what will you do? Save the hostage, but let the killer get away to kill hundreds or kill the hostage and the killer to save those hundreds. Which do you choose?"
Flash could only sweat as he is unable to make an answer.
"Just as I expect from a peace loving race.", Calliphora said in disgust. "I'm rather surprise the others didn't conquer this kingdom."
"Others?", Flash Sentry asks.
"You think we're the only foreign force?", Calliphora said in surprise before laughing. "Of course there are others and let me warn you some are more powerful and ruthless then we are."
Flash could only stand horrified on what he just learn.
"Now that the talking is done.", Calliphora said looking down to the armored alicorns. "Beat them up with your hooves, magic will just make it quick and boring."
Before Flash could react one of the alicon instantly kicks him hard through a building. The other guards were doing no batter as the alicorns are easily beating them senseless with no effort.
"I can't believe Chrysalis lost to these weaklings.", Calliphora mutters. "Come to think of it, with her new look she should get a new name. How about Chimera?"
One of the alicorn picks up a guard in an attempt to break the back when suddenly a white hooded pony kicks the said alicorn to the stomach sending it crashing to the building.
"What the....? You again!", Calliphora said. "Didn't you already caused enough trouble for the Empire?"
"Well I can't let you harm my homeland now, can I?", the pegasus pony said.

"Shining Armor already cause us enough trouble already!", Calliphora shouts. "We don't need another Paladin to give us more."
"So Shining Armor finally got his A-Game!", the pegasus said with a smirk. "Well then better give my A-game as well."
"Kill him!", Calliphora orders. The alicorns surround the pegasus and aim their horns at him, bot for some reason they couldn't fire their magic.
"Before I made my entrance, I took the moment to draw a magic circle to cancel out magic.", the pegasus said. "I seem to recall Gold Star designing it for Tirek, Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Sombra."
With no magic the alicorns resort to close combat.
"Stop, you fools!", Calliphora scream. "When it comes to close combat, Assassin Creed is the king."
Assassin Creed stands on the pile of defeated alicorns.
"Don't get cocky!", Calliphora said. "You only one because you neutralized their magic. You may have won this battle, but we still have the last laugh."
Calliphora use her magic to teleport the defeated alicorns as Eligor turn and leave.
Assassin could only turn to the beaten guards lamenting on how powerless they were.
"It's just like Gold Star.", Assassin said. "Even though he lose, he finds a way to win in some way."
"Tch! Thanks to Assassin, I couldn't get that Crystal Heart or that baby!", Calliphora curse, but then smiles as she looks at a red sharp horn in her hoof. "At least it wasn't a total loss. I'm sure Gold Star will make good use of the power of the Umbrum for Chrysalis."
A large male Changeling approach the caged Tirek leaving being a beaten Cerberus.
"Well, well. I didn't expect to see you again.", Tirek said.
"I came here to pick up a dept you owe me.", the Changeling said. "One favor after I eliminate your father and help you take control of his kingdom."
"And what do you want from me?", Tirek asks.
"A sample of your blood."
"What good will that do?"
"Gold Star theorized that certain magic like your magic drain are part of one's gene. He believe he can make one stronger by adding that gene to the being especially with that of a powerful being like you."
"It cannot be done. Princess Twilight may have handled the power of four alicorns, but that was due to her body being already with it. If she drained magic from something different like mine or Discord it would have destroyed her. Why else did I drain the magic of lesser beings first?"
"True, but there is one that is capable to handling the stress without the requirements that you went through."
"Who?"
"My little sister, Chrysalis. She survived the maintenance Gold Star did to her body, when all those before her weren't so lucky. He then discovered Chrysalis' body possess great constitution the highest he has ever seen. As of now my siblings are gathering DNA of the most powerful beings of Equestria so we can add them to Chrysalis making her stronger."
Ambrosia and Bogarts stares at a vial of Discord's and Starlight's blood, while many Automatons shackle Chrysalis up to keep her under control.
Miasma is trying out Luna's outfit, while Myxine holds a vial of Luna's blood.
Calliphora fiddling around with Sombra's horn.
Gold Star picks up the blood of the Mane Six and stares at it with an evil grin.
"You plan to give Chrysalis my magic draining ability, Discord's reality bending, and Celestia's and Luna's sun and moon control.", Tirek said.
"And of course the control of the Elements of Harmony."
"Impossible, even if she have the genes of the bearers she can't use them."
"Don't worry, Gold Star solved that problem some time ago.", the Changeling said. "So do we have a deal?"
"With that much power, how can you make sure she won't use it against you?"
"Why else Gold Star did something to her brain? She'll be more of a beast that the thought of betraying us will never come to her head."
"I am rather interested on how this will go.", Tirek said. "Very well, you have a deal."
"A wise choice, my friend."
