Don't go gently into that good night

The human and the two changlings made it through the castle almost completely unobstructed with the exception of a few servants and a couple guards which were taken care of easily enough with changling magic.

It turns out the invasion kicking off early worked out to their benefit because it distracted most of the royal guards.

They just needed to reach the court yard where the rest of their entourage was waiting to open a portal back to the hive and then wait for further orders from the queen.

Elliott was currently walking behind the two changlings with a still unconscious and hornless unicorn thrown over his shoulder, dried blood caked his back from the Quick Silver's forehead. The ghastly sight even made one of the servants they came across vomited before the changelings knocked her out with a blast of green magic.

The three then rounded the next corner to find the entrance to the courtyard, they made haste and exited the castle to find four changeling elder mages in a circle pooling their magic together to form what appeared to be large sphere that looked like a floating ball of mercury which would ripple every so often.

When the four elder mages laid eyes on the naked and obviously malnourished human and the incapacitated guard on his shoulder, they almost lost their concentration on the portal but quickly found their resolve and continued.

"So what, we just walk through it and presto we're out of here?" Elliott asked the bug pony mare in front of him. Which in turn she just nodded, walked into the sphere and disappeared.

With a raised brow Elliott shrugged his shoulders and stepped into the sphere, which felt cold on his body but once he was inside he felt an intense pull, his heart raced as he accelerated through what looked like a tunnel of light, before he knew it he and the unconscious stallion were tossed from the other side and landed with a thud in the middle of a desert and only a few meters away from the hive entrance.

Back in the courtyard in the castle the stallion changling that aided in the human's escape was just about to trot through the portal when the sound of an explosion sounded from the throne room of the castle and a pink dome shot out from all directions, violently expelling the invading changlings as well as their queen out of Equestria.
The portal was destroyed and the remaining changlings in the courtyard were expelled along with the rest.

-Southern Badlands-

"Well that fucking sucked, and now I have sand in my ass crack" Elliott said trying to regain his footing, "Well it's still better then being in that cell and being that Sun Bitch's science project, now where's that fucking meat bag?"
Elliott said wile looking around for his newly acquired prisoner/food-bank, which at the moment was only a couple feet behind him and slowly regaining consciousness.

"AHHHH, OH CELESTIA MY HORN, YOU BUCKING CUT OFF MY HORN, YOU MONSTER!!!" Quick Silver screamed, afterwards vomited quite violently.

"M-maybe you should just put him out of his misery, instead of letting him suffer like that." The mare changeling said to the human, a little unsure of the situation.

"Fuck that noise, this dirty little rapist has got a world of pain ahead of him now that he's got no magic to fuck me over with" Elliott said as he stepped over to the now sobbing stallion, grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and held him up so he could look him in the eyes then began to scream in the stallion's face, "YA HEAR THAT YOU DIRTY LITTLE HORSEY, I'M FAR FROM FINISHED WITH YOU, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE DO TO HORSES BACK IN MY WORLD, WE FUCKING MAKE GLUE OUT OF THEM, BUT THERE STILL GOOD EATTING IN MY OPINION."

Quick Silver was in an intense amount of pain and he was never more frightened in his life then right now and as some point he pissed all over himself out of shear terror.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry p-p-pleas d-don't hurt me" Quick Silver was reduced to a stuttering, sobbing mess of a stallion.

The dark frown on Elliott's face quickly shifted to a manic grin, "SORRY? YOUR FUCKING SORRY? oh well then that changes everything...let me just check something first!"

In that split moment Quick Silver felt a sliver of hope as the human stepped back and turned around then started looking around for something with puzzled look on his face. The human even walked over to the changeling, grabbed her tail and lifted it to take a look as if still looking for something he lost, at the changling's apparent discomfort and embarrassment she just stood there as if not able to comprehend the situation.

"Yep just what I thought, I can't find any fucks to give, too bad." Elliott said sarcastically and briskly walked back to the pathetic form of the stallion, quickly grabbing the sword off the ground, seeing this Quick Silver tried to get his legs under him to get back up and run away but the pain from his severed horn was too disorienting and caused him extreme dizziness from blood loss causing him to stumble and fall back down.

"Where the fuck you think your going, I ain't done with you yet" Elliott said as he quickened his pace.

Once he reached the stallion he started stomping on his head and muzzle, causing the stallion to scream in pain as fresh wounds opened up on his face and knocking out a few teeth in the processes. The changling that was still present turned away, not able to watch the brutality of the human any longer.

Eventually Quick Silver slipped into unconsciousness again after the seventh or eighth stomp to his head. Elliott's breaths were haggard and the excitement from the past few hours finally catching up to his skinny, dirty and sweat covered form and with dehydration starting o set in he sat down in the sand and leaning back against Quick Silver.

Elliott let out an exhausted sigh and wiped the sweat from his brow, his attention now on the lone changling sitting a few feet away trying not to make eye contact with him.
"Well I guess I should say thanks for getting me out of that shit-hole, so thanks...I guess, my name's Elliott by the way" Elliott said trying to break the ice with the changling.

The changling looked back at Elliott trying not to let her fear show but replied in kind, "oh, um... your welcome...I guess and my name is Nyx and it was our queen who wanted you freed I was just following orders." Nyx said reluctantly making eye contact with the human, which in turn made her flinch once she noticed the sour expression on his face. Before she could explain any further he was back on his feet and making his way towards her sword in hand.

Nyx quickly formed a magic barrier around herself know there was nothing Elliott could do against magic.
"I'M NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER TYRANTS SCIENCE PROJECT!" Elliott yelled as he swung his sword down on the green tinted bubble that surrounded Nyx.

It was then that something in the distance caught Elliott's attention, it looked like a cloud of black was approaching and fast, he focused his eyes to get a better look and as the black anomaly got closer he could make out hundreds of changlings just like Nyx, but he could make out one in particular, it was much larger then all the others, which he figured it was their queen.

"Fuck this, I'm out" Elliott said as he turned and started running the opposite direction. 'I'd rather die alone in the desert then be another rulers fucked up plaything. I don't know what she wants with me but I ain't sticking around to find out' Elliott thought to himself as he was running as fast as he could, his body protesting with each breath.

Elliot looked behind every so often at the approaching swarm while still running as fast as he could.

Chrysalis was beyond pissed, her plan to take over Equestria ruined by that purple little bitch "Twilight Sparkle." If it wasn't for her meddling, Queen Chrysalis would be the new ruler of Equestria. It was then she noticed the human she ordered freed sprinting away from Nyx and the entrance of the hive.

"Buck where does he think he's going, there's no way he will survive out here alone, especially since nightfall isn't far off." Chrysalis said as she prepared a teleportation spell to intercept the human.

Elliott was still running when a changling as tall as him materialised in front of him with an audible "POP" he then skidded to a halt and brought the sword in his hand in front of himself at the ready.

"I'll make you kill me before I let you lock me up to be your pet!" Elliott said readying himself for what was to come.

Chrysalis was not at all happy with how things went today and she had no patience with what was happening now so quicker then the human could react Chrysalis shot him with a knockout spell and watched him crumple to the ground, then trotted over, bent down till her muzzle was mere centimeters from his neck, opened her mouth and then sunk her fangs in to inject her venom that would cause paralysis for the next 32 hours, when he comes to he won't be able to move and hurt himself or any of her children and she needed to have a long talk with him without him getting violent so this was her best option.

What was left of her children after the failure in Canterlot were standing in formation awaiting orders, Chrysalis pointed to the four changlings closest to her and told them to bring the human down into the hive, more specifically to the underground river and have him washed up and have a moss bed made for him to be laid down in until his paralysis wares off.

"What of the unconscious stallion he brought with him?" Nyx asked.
Chrysalis looked over to the battered form of the former unicorn and shuddered when she noticed his horn was severed off.

"What? did the human say he was going to do with him?" Chrysalis inquired
"H-he said he was going t-to eat him.... My queen." even just saying it made Nyx sick to her stomach.

Chrysalis's character of superiority faltered just for a split second with a flinch which does not happen very often.
As quick as her discomfort came, it disappeared just as quick and the intimidating look of a ruthless queen was back.

"Very well bring him as well and secure him down in the lowest end of the underground river, in fact I want the human brought down there as well, that will be his new quarters and nopony is to go there without mine or his permission after he is settled, if we wish not to be on his violent side we must gain his trust and ensure he can trust us, there is much we can gain from each other, taking away his....Food isn't going to help us" Chrysalis said as she watched the human and the stallion guard were picked up and carried into the hive entrance followed by the rest of the changlings.

Once all her children were out of sight Chrysalis sat down in the sand, the stress of the day weighing down on her.

"I really hope I don't regret this..."
