Don't go gently into that good night
Chapter 2 Monsters are not born, they are made (edited)
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Today is going to be perfect" Queen Chrysalis said to herself while looking herself over In the mirror.
Chrysalis was putting the finishing touches on her wedding dress in the privacy of her chamber in Canterlot's castle.
'Such a dreadful design, so tacky and bright, too much pink for my taste. It's bad enough that I have to parade around disguised as the pink alicorn slut.'
Chrysalis thought to herself.
Chrysalis then tapped into the hivemind to see if the operation to acquire their contingency plan was on its way. She was never one to put all her eggs in one basket so to speak, so that is why she sent a couple dozen of her best spies to infiltrate the castle a few months ago to dig up any possible intel on anything useful to use against the Princesses just in case the invasion was a failure.
One of her spies was able to terminate and copy one of Celestia's top scientists and was able to get a ton of information, but also found detailed files on a creature they called a human. It is currently being held in the dungeon.
Chrysalis considered herself quite merciless and cunningly deviant, but what she read in those files sickened her to her deeply, what the princess and her team of scientists did to that poor human, she would not wish that on her worst enemy.
What intrigued her most about what she read was the fact that Celestia was keeping it a tight lip secret and anypony who found out weather it be a servant or a guard who did not have proper security clearance, Celestia would erase their memories and have them sent away to the farthest reaches of Equestria, and if what she read in the files were accurate not even Princess Luna knew of the human's existence.
Even if Chrysalis was successful in taking Canterlot, she was not going to keep the creature incarcerated any longer. That is why she sent two of her best infiltrators in to free him and get him out of the city as covertly as possible.
Elliott was currently sitting in the corner of his cell, knees held tight to his chest and head down. When he heard what sounded like a yell outside off his cell door. Just then the door was unlatched and slowly opened to reveal two creatures he had never seen before. They were like ponies, but all black with holes in their legs and had both a jagged horn and wings like a bug.
One of the bug like ponies approached him while the other stayed at the door as a lookout.
The one that approached him spoke,
"Don’t be afraid we are not here to hurt you. We are here to take you out of this place" what I assumed to be a mare since her voice sounded feminine said to me with a hoof outstretched and beckoning me to come out of the corner.
I just stared at her like a dumbass not believing what I was seeing and said the first thing that came to mind "w-what are you?"
The black mare took another step closers to me, "right now it does not matter. We must hurry if you want to get out of here, the invasion is about to start and you can ask me anything later when we are out of the city."
Just then a deep rumble came from over our heads "buck it’s already started, something must of went wrong!" the bug pony guarding the door said, this one sounding male.
"Ok come on we half to move now" the bug mare yelled.
I got up onto my feet but when I did the two bug ponies had a look of what I could tell was fear, I guess they did not expect me to be so tall but their look of fear was then replaced with look of embarrassment for the mare,
It was the I noticed they were both staring at my junk.
"U-um could you possibly put it back in your sheath please?" The mare said with what looked like a tinge of green to her cheeks.
"No can do sorry humans don't have sheaths" I said, not giving a shit about their discomfort. I've been naked for 5 years so I've been desensitized to any nudity taboo I may have had in the past.
"O-ok then well let's hurry up we don't have much time" the mare said as I started walking out of my cell, the first time in so long I was out of my cell and I was not going back if I could help it.
We turned the corner out of the cell block and came to the guard post where I noticed two guards on the ground not moving, one being Quick Silver.
I got my liberators attention to ask a question "Are they dead?" I asked hoping that at least Quick Silver was still breathing.
"No just unconscious." the bug stallion said.
I then walked over to the downed stallion looking for anything sharp to use, that's when I noticed his sword was still in his sheath.
"Where's your fucking magic now bitch" I said as I grabbed his sword and unsheathed it.
"We don't have time for this, we have to go now!" The mare said she trotted past me.
It was then that I brought the sword down onto the unconscious stallion's horn and severing it with little effort and oozing out blood and a viscous yellowish substance. This effectively woke Quick up in a fit of blinding pain,
Using the butt of the sword on the side of Quick's temple I successfully knocked him unconscious again and picked him up and pulled him over my shoulder.
Both bug ponies where looking at me in a mixture of fear and disgust at my actions, but I didn't care. Quick was going to pay for what he did to me on an almost routinely basis.
"I'm not leaving here without my next meal" I said with a shit eating grin.
The two changelings looked at each other then looked to the human with the limp unicorn thrown over his shoulder not knowing what to make of the situation, but the human just walked past them and down the dark corridor.
"The Queen better know what the buck she is doing" was all the changeling whispered to her companion before they to, follow the human down the corridor.
