All hail the queen

Lemon heart was having a good day. She had just signed a deal with Bon-Bon to provide her some Lemon candies, her colt friend got a raise and her little filly was going on a field trip to canterlot today. ' Nothing can go wrong today!' The moment she thought those words however, a harsh buzzing noise filled her ears. She looked up and paled in fear and horror.

Filling the sky were bugs. But they weren't normal bugs, no. They looked like ponkes, if ponies had insect wings and we're riddled with holes. They descended upon the town and she saw several other ponies get picked up or tackled to the ground. She screamed and started to run with the few who weren't subdued.

One of the bugs flew at her but she picked up a chair with her magic and smashed it in the bugs face. It rubbed it's face and growled at her, spitting some gooey thing at her hooves. She panicked and threw another chair at it which it domed this time. Two more bugs landed next to her and surrounded her in a chrysalis made of the goo. Her final thoughts as she went unconscious were ' And today was going to be such a good day...'

Midnight grinned as she gazed over her new kingdom. " It's all mine now. It's mine." The advisor changling looked at her for a second then cautiously walked to her side. " My queen, we have most of the town under our control. Sweet Apple Acres is housing some escapees and the rest holed up In town hall and we are having some difficulty with a couple Griffin war veterans. Other than that, we own this village."

She nodded and looked back out. " we will deal with Sweet Apple Acres later. Take care of the town hall and set up tunnels for the ponies we captured. I want you to start harvesting their love and pass it out among the hive. I don't want starving soldiers as my army."

The advisor nodded and flew away to give orders.

She continued looking out with a toothy smile. " It's good to be queen." A soft voice whispered " This isn't right." She whipped her head around and looked for the voices owner before she realised it was hers. " You know this is wrong. These are our neighbors, our friends." She growled " We don't have anymore friends. We have servants now. Now, I don't know what you are, but is want you to be quiet."

It went silent for a moment before whispering " you aren't Twilight." " No, I am Midnight, queen of changlings, and you are just a memory." She sat back down and frowned.

A warrior by the name of nines was on patrol with his drone friend Thorax on the outside of ponyville. " This town seems like a good starting point, eh Thorax?" He remained silent, not answering his friend. " Thorax, you still aren't sad about the ponies are you? I mean, I know you don't like how things go around, but we have a new queen! And as a bonus, she's not making us bash our heads against a shield." He rubbed his head. " That would have hurt alot."

Thorax remained quiet. He gave a slight snarl. " Seriously Thorax, what's eating at you?"

" Have you ever wanted to leave the hive?"

" Never. I mean, Chrysalis was a tyrant, but she was still the queen, and you know what happens to dissenters. Even the ones who were able to escape usually died in a week. They just couldn't get enough love."

" But what if we worked with the ponies and became friends! You and I, we could work to help relations between our two races!"

He walked where he was in front of Thorax and put a hoof on his chest. " Thorax, forget about that idea! Let's just finish our patrol and go get some love rations, ok?"

Thorax nodded. " Ok Nines." Nines smiled and walked in front of him., not expecting to be hit in the head with a log. The last thing he heard was " I'm sorry Nines. I'll make it up to you later." Then everything faded to black.

Thorax dragged his unconscious friend into a bush and ran off, intent on making it all better.
