Metamorphosis

A New Life

*The way Chrysalis and *Shining armor* communicate may be confusing, When the words are Italicized they are talking to each other with their minds.

I looked up at Chrysalis as she inspected my injuries. Changeling's could see in the dark so there was no need for light.

"Your bleeding internally... I'm going to have to heal it or your not going to make it." I nodded grimly

"This isn't going to feel pleasant" she warned me, I nodded again prepared for the ordeal.

Chrysalis pointed her horn towards my stomach and they both began to glow. I felt a major burn inside of me and I coughed up the remaining blood in my stomach. The pain lasted for a few more moments then dissipated. I took a deep breath,

"Thanks for getting me out of there, without you I would have been screwed." We both grinned and she nuzzled me with her snout. I froze for a moment, "Is she still attracted to me? wait-" Chrysalis's grin grew in intensity and spoke into my mind.

"You are one of us now, and to be honest you are quite handsome by changeling standards, As for being attracted to you?.." Chrysalis pondered for a moment, I noticed I could only read her thoughts when she aloud me to. "Well..Yes, yes I am"

My face stayed expressionless as I remembered Cadence and what Chrysalis had done to me, I looked into her eyes for a long moment. Slowly a grin appeared on my face, I stood up my head level with Chrysalis and thought. "Well then, Is it possible for two changeling's to survive off each other?" Chrysalis leaned in closer.

"Normally they can't. But two evolved changeling's like us can... and were the only ones that exist" Both of us closed our eyes as we inhaled each others scent. Chrysalis smelled delicious, ever since I became a changeling each of my senses had advanced. Chrysalis opened her eyes I noticed they seemed to be excited and full of lust

"So... Shining armor-" I opened my eyes and cut her off "Shining Armor is no longer an appropriate name for me... Ive been considering another name. How does... Metamorphosis sound?"

"It sounds powerful." She looked down with a desperate look in her eyes. I began to caress her face with my hoof. We stared into each others eyes for a second and It was enough for both of us.

I leaned in and kissed her passionately, we embraced each other with our minds and our bodies. I wrapped my hooves around her and gently pulled her to the cave floor. I tentatively prodded her mouth with my tongue and she granted me access. Our tongues wrapped around each other. We touched horns and they began to glow and I felt something rise up inside of me. It reached my stomach and continued to rise. But before I could act on it however Chrysalis grinned and stopped me

"No, not yet. Now is not the place, nor the time." I gave her a confused look. "What was that?

She kissed me and giggled I'll show you once we make it back to *our** hive* I smiled and thought

I could get used to this. We both grinned but stopped when we heard horns echoing from canterlot. "They're going to be searching for us.

"We cant stay here anymore" Chrysalis stated, We both turned to leave the cave. "They will be searching for us by air. There is to many to hide from so we will need to out fly them, follow me I'll take you to your new home."

Chrysalis took off into the air, and began to fly south. I wasn't used to my wings yet so it took a lot of effort just to get off the ground. I just managed to keep pace with my new love. We would here horns from the pegasi searching for us every few minutes. They seemed to be getting closer

"They're catching up!"

"Keep flying I have a trap set for them" Chrysalis grinned. We flew for a few more minutes and we heard the horn blare again. "They cant be more then a half mile away from us now." I stated and Chrysalis replied "Don't worry my love. I have called reinforcements." She began to descend and I followed her. We landed and I could see changeling's hiding in the shadows. Many of them gave me surprised looks but quickly returned their attention to the approaching pegasi. What looked to be about sixty lunar guards came into sight. A horn sounded once again and they split, They were going to surround us. Chrysalis and I prepared for the inevitable fight, the changeling's prepared to lunge from their hiding spots when the time came.

When the lunar guards landed I noticed they were heavily armed. Each of them were gripping a spear and they had swords at their sides. They formed a circle around us oblivious to the fact that we weren't alone. I noticed they had an elite lunar guard leading them. He gave me a disgusted look and spat on the ground in front of me. I hissed at him baring my fangs menacingly. The lunar guard wasn't phased.

"By the will of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, you are under arrest. If you resist we will use deadly force." My horn began to give off a menacing green glow, Chrysalis joined me and we covered each others backs. "You'll never take us alive." we both stated completely synchronized. The lunar guards were wary of our magic but they had determined looks in their eyes. "Attack now my little ones.

All of a sudden the changeling's jumped onto the lunar guards causing mass confusion among their ranks. We took advantage of the distraction and began blasting the lunar guards with beams of raw green energy. The elite lunar guard roared a command to his squad. "DEFEND YOURSELVES!" he bucked a changeling before it could hop onto his back and threw his spear through one of the changeling's on a guards back. He drew his sword and charged at me, I blasted him with a powerful beam but was surprised when he wasn't harmed from the attack. He sliced my chest and I hissed in pain. I shot myself into the air before further damage could be done. It wasn't deep thanks to my thick hide but it still hurt. "The Elite guard has some kind of ward against magical attack. he can only be harmed physically. The changeling's had taken the guards by complete surprise and their numbers were dwindling fast. I noticed about twenty Lunar guards were bleeding out with holes bitten through there necks. Others were unable to move, a layer of green slime keeping them stuck to the ground. The remaining lunar guards formed a circle of defense, but it was quickly dispersed when changeling's started dive bombing them. The rest of the guards where quickly overwhelmed and pinned to the ground. The elite guard however managed to kill at least six of them before he was simply overwhelmed. "Get off me you savages!"

I tried giving a command to the changeling's that had pinned him "I want to deal with this one myself. Move aside." the changeling's stared at me for a few moments and turned to their queen for confirmation. Chrysalis glared at the changeling's "You will obey his commands, just as if they were mine from now on. Understand?" The changeling's nervously nodded afraid of their queens wrath. They stepped aside and I looked down at the helpless lunar guard. He looked into my eyes with defiance, he spit in my face and I turned away for a second. I wiped it off my face turned to him and bashed my hoof into his face. Chrysalis spoke to me. "Consume him, devour his emotions." I smiled Manically at the lunar guard. I pushed his face into the dirt with my hoof. "I hope there is a special place in hell waiting for you Shining armor." I bit into his neck and began absorbing his emotions. I felt Pain, Sadness, Love, Fear, and as he began to run dry I felt acceptance. His heart beat slowed, sputtered a few times and then stopped altogether. I rose from my first kill and I felt his energy coursing threw my veins. It felt good to kill him.

"You liked it, didn't you? Chrysalis asked me I grinned at her and nodded my head. Let one of them go... I want him relay a message. I turned to the one I was going to spare. After seeing what I did to his leader he cringed in fear. He was rank with it, "I'm not going to kill you." He opened his eyes and gave me a confused but slightly hopeful look. "Wha- what are you g-going to do to me?" I sighed and rolled my eyes at him. "I'm going to let you go, but you are going to relay a message to the princess's. Tell them not to follow me, and that I now go by the name, Metamorphosis." I removed his restraints and he slowly stood up relief washing through him. He bowed to me respectfully and said "I will relay the message. Thank you for sparing my life."

He began to fly back towards canterlot. "I doubt that those foolish princess's will stop following me. But Shining armor is lost forever. I stated to Chrysalis. She grinned at me and we nuzzled each other. I kissed her and she reciprocated my love. A few moments later we turned to the remaining guards. Chrysalis walked up to a stronger looking guard and bit into his neck. I could smell the guards fear in the air. Once Chrysalis was finished with him she gave a command to the changeling's. "Finish them" The changeling's looked like they had been waiting for this moment and jumped on the guards. The changeling's bit the guards all over the place. It was a gruesome sight, The guards we screaming in pain as they were devoured by the changeling's and I couldn't help but smile at their pathetic cries. The screams died down and Chrysalis dismissed the changeling's.

"That should be the only interruption we receive on our way back to the hive. Chrysalis stated. "We should be there by mid day." The sun was just beginning to rise. Chrysalis and I took off, I was getting better at flying but it still hurt my wings to fly long distances. We flew for several hours, I was able to keep flying by pouring energy into my wings to keep them from getting to exhausted. I began to notice a shimmering expanse ahead of us. "What is that?" I asked Chrysalis

"Your new Home"
