Alone with Queen Chrysalis
Captured
Load Full StoryNext ChapterYou are Anon, and you had to admit, though you were used to waking up in unpleasant places before, this was just fucking ridiculous. Yes, you have gotten used to living in a bizarre pastel world ruled by sentient small equines, but THIS was officially the weirdest place you have ever greeted a new day too. Examining your surroundings you have come to the brilliant conclusion that you are, in fact, not in your comically pony sized bed, but instead suspended upside down in what appears to be a transparent green cocoon.
“Eh! Who’s takin’ the piss with me now?!” You kick the wall of your jelly-like capsule causing yourself to wobble slightly. “EHCH!” you kick once more this time with more force, your cocoon swaying more violently. You immediately regret your decision as your prison breaks lose from the ceiling, and you come crashing to the floor on your back.
“Ugh! God damn it!” you yell as you flail in the green goo of what once was your viscose confinement.
You scramble to your feet brushing the remaining gunk off your already gritty T-shirt. Looking around you discover you are in some sort of cave with various holes scattered about the entire room. Upon closer inspection you notice they are constantly closing and reappearing about the chamber.
“ Trypophobia is kinda’ kicking in right now…” You shudder.
Well, guess you should figure out were you are and how to get home or some shit. You pass through a door appearing at your level. It doesn’t take you long before you realize that trying to navigate an ever-changing hive/cave thing is a terrible idea. Before you know it you're completely lost…. and angry.
“Well fuck me sideways, how the hell does this shit work? Who or what is supposed to live here?” Come to think of it you haven’t seen anyone here, no pony, no Minotaur, no griffin, not even any wild animals like Timberwolves or a basic bear. Or do Timberwolves only live in the Everfree?
You stop and ponder this. Unbeknownst to you an opening appears behind you and a large, black bug-like horse has trotted within breathing distance of your neck. You’re perplexed look shifts to one of realization that you are no longer alone. Your head shifts slowly and as cliché as possible as your eyes slowly meet with the emerald reptilian pair currently glaring down at you.
“Well now what do we have here? How has my prey managed to free itself after I spent a deal amount of effort making sure its containment was as comfortable as possible?” This strange pony speaks with some sort of reverberation in her voice intimidating you even further.
Did she say prey? Oh shit she did say that didn’t she? Like, ‘I’m gonna’ vomit digestive acid on and devour your melted remains’ like prey. You stare back at the obsidian black mare for a couple more seconds before your legs turn back on their own and you road-runner the fuck outta’ there. No longer paying attention to which entrance you pass through your only focus is only forward and onward to what you hope will be freedom.
You stumble into a larger chamber, head darting about the room looking for another exit. A door opens before you and the arachnid horse is standing at full attention and begins fluttering towards you with her gross-but-kinda’ cool bug like wings. You sprint around the room attempting to loop around the creature only to find you are now locked in place shrouded in a green aura.
“Oh, hell naw, not this gay magic shit again.” You lay down some sass.
So this bug pony thing can use magic too? Man this just isn’t fair, you think to yourself. You feel yourself being pulled back towards the pony/insect hybrid while you franticly flail and wail in a feeble attempt to escape but of course to no avail. You can here the maniacal laughter of your assailant as you draw closer to your probable doom.
“Nononononononono, you can’t eat me I’m an a endangered species here! Like only one of me in existence kind of endangered!” You began crying openly.
You are now at eye level with the jet-black monster staring at you with her cold teal eyes beneath a ratty mane to match. She gives you a once over, circling around your floating form.
“Now why would you think I would do such a horrid, disgusting thing? Why only a monster would do something so savage. Are you insinuating that I, Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changeling kingdom, am a monster ape?”
“...No..” you say, almost in a whisper.
The Green aura surrounding you vanishes and you plummet to the ground once more this time landing on your ass.
“ ..ow ” you grunt. Without so much as a helping hoof, Chrysalis wastes no time interrogating you on the spot.
“ Explain! Who are you, what are you and how did you break free of your chrysalis?”
“ Hey hey hey! Aren’t I the one who should be asking the questions? You kidnapped me!”
The queen’s jagged horn lights up to that unsettling green, making it clear she is the one calling the shots. With a sigh you rub your temples and gather your thoughts.
“As for who, the name is Anonymous, don’t bother with clarity. As for what, I am a human not an ape. Millions of years of evolution weren’t for nothing you know, and as for how I escaped? Well, I dunno, maybe you just suck at holding people captive.”
Why did you say that? Why did you say that to someone who has no value for your life whatsoever? “You best watch that tongue of yours, Anonymous the hue-man, lest you feel the wrath of the mighty changeling queen!”
“Yeah about that, you say you’re a queen? I know a few princesses and they seem to have more to their name than you. If you really are a queen where’s your castle? And uh, … subjects?” The queen now has a stoic expression on her face. She even seems kind of hurt. She then looks down to her hooves.
“ I….uh, well….I Don’t , have anymore, anypony any..more, subjects I mean. Those ungrateful vermin abandoned me for a new ruler and left me here to rot away in the ruins of my kingdom. ”
Oh wow. Well considering the past few minutes you’ve known her for it doesn’t seem to surprising. This bug pone’s demeanor seemed more akin to a tyrant than that of a queen. However you kind of feel bad for this Chrysalis character and decide to try a more friendly approach.
“So… your all alone? ”
“Yes! That’s what I’ve already said you fool! Was I not clear enough already?!”
You immediately throw your arms up in defense for what ever may come your way.
“All right, all right, no need to snap at me, I’m sorry.” The queen seems to calm down and take a deep breath. She begins to pace past you sulking slightly but making sure you are unable to see the vulnerable state she is in.
“ Seems the loss of my empire has taken a bigger toll than I could have imagined. I can’t even capture something as simple as a magic-less primate on my own anymore.”
The queen stomps a hoof in frustration. “This is all that Starlight Glimmer’s fault! if it hadn’t been for her…. my kingdom… And of course… Thorax.” Queen Chrysalis grinds her teeth in anger. Letting out and enraged howl, she begins to fire bolts of green magic throughout the chamber, lighting the walls in a green glow which caused you to make a bit of magic of your own. You gulped hoping this scorned equine won’t be using you as a punching bag.
Thoroughly exhausted and wheezing the queen begins to calm herself down as she slumps to the floor.
“ Not… Not enou- enough…. Not enough love..” She’s panting harder now, “ I can’t… I need more…. more love! I can’t live like this anymore!”
Wow this mare’s not looking to swell. Can’t say you blame her though, this place looks awful and if what she says is true then she’s made some enemies who really fucked her over.
“When I get my hooves on them, on all of them, they will pay dearly!”
Chrysalis struggles to stand but collapses back onto the ground. Well, time to be a gentleman n’ shit.
“Hey now, take it easy, you shouldn’t try to stand you look kinda’ sick or something.”
“ Fool… do you know nothing of Changelings? I am simply starved of love. Changelings require positive emotions, especially those as powerful as love in order to properly survive… or at least…. That’s the way it was SUPPOSED to be.”
You have to admit to yourself you have no fuckin’ idea what she’s talking about but you won’t interrupt her due to respect and mostly fear.
“ Ever since that traitor Thorax poisoned the minds of my subjects, they have decided to share love with the crystal ponies rather than simply taking it. Quite frankly it’s rather disgusting and unnatural to me.”
You nod, pretending to understand what you’re being told. Queen Chrysalis sighs and gathers herself.
“Why don’t we introduce ourselves properly?”
