Gold Star and Shining Armor slash swords on a titanic being approaching Canterlot in a rather slow pace.

The Titanic Being

"I see your skills with the sword hasn't dulled after all those years.", Gold Star comments. "But why do you still follow Celestia? You saw how incompetent of a ruler she is."

"There may be some truths in your words, but that doesn't justify on what you are doing!", Shining Armor said.

"Celestia could've prevented all of the near disastrous scenario!", Gold Star shouts. "She should have destroyed the petrified Discord, executed Tirek, and eliminated Sombra then none of these nonsense would have happened."

"Things went out alright.", Shining points out.

"Perhaps, but what would've happened if it didn't go well?", Gold Star asks. "Tirek could have killed your sister and her friends after taking the alicorn magic rather than letting them go."

Shining Armor hesitates for a moment reluctantly admitting that that scenario would have happened.

"The final straw was the Canterlot Wedding fiasco!", Gold Star shouts. "A wedding when the kingdom is threatened? Ignoring a warning that would have stopped an invasion? Celestia literally just handed the kingdom on a silver platter to the Changelings and lost to the weakest of the Changeling Queens."

'He's right, even if the council works out Celestia is already in a bad position with the other ponies of Equestria.', Shining thought in concern. 'They've already seen how the Princess failed to uphold her duty in defending the citizens.'

'Tch, this is already taking too long! The formation of the council is nearly done by now.', Gold Star thought in annoyance. 'I'll just make do with the consolation prize, Celestia's blood for Chrysalis. Rose should be in the castle now.'

"You sure you have no knowledge of these other Changeling Hives?", Celestia asks Thorax with the two currently alone as the other delegates are resting in their rooms.

"I'm afraid it's only something only Queen Chrysalis knows about. She never really tell us about any other Hives or an Empire.", Thorax answers. Suddenly Rose breaks through the door and lands on the table.

"Greetings, council members of Mystica.", Rose said doing a mocking bow only to see Celestia and Thorax. "Rats!"

"That voice! Rose is that you?", Thorax asks.

"You know her?", Ember asks.

"She was a member of Chrysalis' Hive before I took over.", Thorax answers.

"You mean my hive.", Rose said with an evil smile.

"What do you mean your hive?", Celestia asks.

"Simple, I'm her replacement. And you are fools to challenge the Empire and its Empress.", Rose laughs using her magic to create an projection.

"You might not recall, but I was one of the Changelings who helped capture you Celestia and was the one impersonating you."

Rose lies on the bed clearly enjoying her life pretending to be the princess. "I could enjoy this.", Rose said eating cake.

"Unfortunately that didn't last due to Starlight mounting a rescue. Chrysalis called all the Changeling impersonating the prisoners to return, however..."

The moment Rose and eleven other Changelings arrive they see the top of the castle explode. They all hide as see the Changeling inside have transformed into more colorful beings. They then witness Queen Chrysalis refusing Starlight's offer of friendship and flees.

"Why would the Queen vow revenge?", one of the remaining Changeling asks. "Even all of us together isn't enough to take out one princess."

"It appears that our Queen is hiding something that would back up her claim of revenge.", Rose said. "Let's follow her."

After a long journey Rose and the others widen their eyes upon seeing the Changeling Empire. He follow Chrysalis inside the Imperial Palace meeting the Empress.

"Ah, Chrysalis. I see you've returned. Tell me have you succeed in your mission?", Empress Irian asks with a smile.

Rose then makes an evil smile finding a perfect opportunity. She shows herself before the Empress.

"Queen Chrysalis has failed in her duty.", Rose calls out shocking Chrysalis. "The prisoners has escaped, destroyed the throne and what's worse nearly the entire hive became these grotesque things."

Rose shows Irian an image of Thorax. Irian looks down on the frighten Chrysalis with anger on her face. Irian then crushes Chrysalis under her feet.

"You worthless trash!", Irian screams in rage. "Not only did you fail, but you also lost the throne I lent you?"

"I tried to tell her the flaws of her plan, but she refuse to listen.", Rose said clearly lying. "I would've made sure nothing would go wrong, however Chrysalis is the queen, not me."

"I will easily solve that problem.", Irian said lifting her foot and lifts the broken Chrysalis with her magic. "I shall transfer everything, but her life into you, making you the Changeling of Love."

"I swear to you. I will fail you like she did.", Rose said bowing before Irian.

"Finally, one with the qualities I like.", Irian said as she forcefully transfer Chrysalis' magic, power, etc. into Rose. Rose's body change from drone to Queen. Gold Star then enters the room.

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

"Yes, take this trash with you and use her any way you see fit.", Irian said tossing Chryalis aside. Gold Star grabs her mane and drags her to his lab.

Both Celestia and Thorax are horrified on what Rose show them.

"Since the Council is already formed, I'll just make do with your DNA Celestia.", Rose said teleporting behind the said princess and takes a sample of her blood. "Sorry, I can't stick around and chat but Gold Star's grand plan is slowly coming to fruition and it's something I don't want to miss."

Celestia fires a magical blast, but Rose steps to the side resulting in the wall having a hole.

"Thanks for making my exit, Sun Butt!", Rose laughs flying away.

Gold Star looks up and sees Rose flying out of the castle.

"My job here is done.", Gold Star said tossing an orb to Shining Armor. Shining catches it and finds himself back in Canterlot. "Teleportation Orbs, good for getting rid of unwanted guests."

The Siege Titan turns and leave as Shining Armor watch.

"What is Gold Star up to?"

Back at the fleet, the Queens hand the samples to Gold Star.

"Excellent, another phase of the grand plan is complete.", Gold Star said taking the samples.

"What is you grand plan anyway?", Myxine asks. "I know the samples will make Chrysalis stronger, but..."

"Making Chrysalis stronger is just the means to help her enters her next form and provide defensive capabilities once she achieves it.", Gold Star said.

"And what form is that?", Miasma asks.

"As you all know the Tree of Harmony is what protect Equestria from any sort of danger, like providing Princess Twilight the means to defeat the fully powered Tirek.", Gold Star said.

"So?"

"I plan to turn the very tree into a poison."

"Wait! You don't mean..."

"That's right! I'm fusing Chrysalis with the Tree of Harmony. The Element Bearers and Princess gene will trick the tree to lower it's guard allowing Chrysalis to fuse with it and due to the negative emotions within her it will corrupt the tree disrupting harmony within the land.", Gold Star explains. "But that's not all, it will poison the magic in all of Mystica while at the same time drain the land of it's magic transferring it all to the Changeling Empire. It will turn the continent into something similar to the Everfree Forest."

"I can see why you call it your grand plan.", Rose said. "It will shake the very world itself."

"With a power like that in our hands, the Changeling Empire will be unrivaled. No kingdom or empire will dare oppose us.", Ambrosia cheers.

"But everything has a weakness.", Calliphora said. "What is the weapon's weakness?"

"An impossible one for our enemies to use.", Gold Star said. "They must heal the core, which is reforming Chrysalis into those colorful Changelings. Too bad she is completely broken physically and mentally. You could say she is hated by the world itself."

"Don't worry, ''sis".", Ambrosia said to the caged Chrysalis. "At least you'll be good for something."

Author's Note

Alright the Changeling Queens Arc has come to an end and the Grand Plan Arc is next.

Things are starting to get busy and I'm not too sure on how this Arc will go as it can go in many ways.

PM me if you like to donate some ideas on how this arc will go.

I am also in need of more characters (mostly one or two chapter villains) for this story. Adding your own OCs will be fine as well (that is up to you), but I need details on how they fit in the story.
