My Little Pony From One World To Another And Back! by NickClash BCommander

Outside the Changeling Hive, the sun had set hours ago and true to Twilight's word, she and her friends had all finally reached their destination in the middle of the night. The 6 mares stopped to take a break and stared at the huge structure before them. The Changeling Hive looked almost like a beehive, only much bigger than any hive in real life and with it being occupied by Changelings instead.

"Alright, girls! This is it! We're finally at the Changeling Hive!" Twilight announced.

"Great! Now, I can buck the daylights out of all those Changelings!" Rainbow Dash spoke.

"Hold on there, sugarcube!" Applejack reminded Rainbow. "Don't forget that we need to rescue John, Gary, Michael, Ned, Alice, Claire, Tony and Eddie first before we deal with the Changelings. Otherwise, they may be put in danger in the process!"

Rainbow Dash sighed in annoyance, but reluctantly agreed with the others that until they found and saved their 8 friends, this would have to be a stealth mission. However, Rainbow did say that if she wasn't the Element Of Loyalty, she probably would just do things her way and charge in there and kick some Changeling butt!

With the Elements Of Harmony still being worn around their necks, the 6 mares slowly and carefully approached the entrance of the Changeling Hive. To help ensure that they didn't attract any unwanted attention, Rainbow and Fluttershy couldn't fly and had to walk with the others and Twilight cast a spell on them that made them temporarily invisible and none of the Changelings would be able to see them as long as they stayed completely still whenever a Changeling looked in their direction. Plus, the 6 mares had to be silent at all times and not make so much as a peep so that none of the Changelings heard them either.

Fortunately, for Twilight and her friends, there were only 2 Changeling guards guarding the entrance to the hive and they appeared to not be the sharpest tools in the shed. Taking advantage of this, the 6 mares came up with a good idea and immediately put their plan into action.

Carefully and slowly making their way over to and right next to the two Changeling guards, Twilight and Rainbow began to whisper into their ears. Twilight told one of the Changeling guards, "Hello!" Rainbow then said to the other guard, "What are you doing?"

Both Changelings then looked very confused and looked all around them to see who was talking to them, but they, of course, couldn't see Twilight, Rainbow and the others and only saw nothing. "Who's there!?" Changeling guard 1 asked.

"Do not be alarmed! I am your conscience!" Twilight lied to Changeling guard 1.

"Really!?" Changeling guard 1 asked.

"Who are you and what do you want!?" Changeling Guard 2 demanded.

Rainbow Dash then quickly thought up a story and replied, "This is a message from your future self!"

"Cool!" Changeling guard 2 cried out in excitement. "You mean it!?"

"Yes! I am speaking to you through your thoughts from 50 years from now in the future!" Rainbow fibbed as she started to already get tired of having to explain herself to the Changeling guard and just wanted to get down to business as she was not one to do long speeches, discussions and explanations with other ponies. "But future me...Uh, I mean you...Or us...Oh, whatever! Anyway, I'm speaking to you now to warn you!"

"What!?" Changeling guard 2 asked.

"Hey! If you're my conscience, how come you haven't spoken to me before?" Changeling guard 1 questioned. "Why are you only just talking to me right now?"

"That's because until now, you didn't need me before! But right now, that's not important!" Twilight replied. "What matters is that you are in grave danger!"

"What do you mean!?" Changeling guard 1 demanded, starting to not like what his presumed conscience (Twilight) was telling him.

"You see your friend over there? You can't trust him! He's not your friend and here's why!" Rainbow told Changeling guard 2. "You're future self, me, is currently rotting in a prison cell in the mighty Changeling Empire, which was formerly Equestria! I am and soon present you are to serve life in prison for a failed assassination attempt on Queen Chrysalis's life!"

"What!? Why!?" Changeling guard 2 demanded. "I would never do such a thing, especially to our beloved Queen!"

"No. You wouldn't, but your so-called friend over there would!" Rainbow explained. "While he doesn't show it, there are 2 Changelings in this entire hive that he hates and would do anything to get rid of! Those 2 Changelings are you and the Queen herself! He wants Chrysalis dead so that he can take over and become King Of The Changelings!"

"That's crazy!" Changeling guard 2 spoke. "There's no way he's gonna succeed in murdering the Queen and even if he did, the rest of the hive would know he did it and would be right on top of him!"

"Yes, but he still does try to do this anyway, but as I already told you, it was a failed assassination attempt and the Queen survived!" Rainbow replied. "However, to clear his own tracks and avoid getting locked up himself, the other Changeling guard right next to you frames you and you end up going to prison instead! By doing this, not only does he manage to save his own skin, but he also takes you down at the same time! We're rotting away in a dark and cold prison cell for the rest of our days, while he walks free and becomes the second most powerful figure in the hive behind the Queen herself! Tell me, do you think that's fair!?"

Changeling guard 2 thought about this for a moment before his expression turned to anger and hatred. "No. That isn't fair and now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense! It would explain why he's been so secretive and rude to me all these years. Ever since we were first hatched together, I knew he was a jerk, but trying to kill the Queen and then framing me for his crimes is the last straw!"

"Your fellow Changeling over there is planning to kill you! He is very dangerous and mentally unstable as he claims to be receiving warnings from his future self that tells him that you're a threat to him and the hive! However, in reality, his future self is only a figment of his imagination and he is slowly losing his mind more and more everyday! If he is not stopped, he will not only murder you, but also the Queen!" Twilight lied again. "His so-called future self that he thinks he's hearing, has been telling him he needs to kill the hive, drink their blood and eat the Queen so that he can become immortal and the worst part is, he believes every word that it's telling him! He must be stopped before it's too late!"

Changeling guard 1 gasped after hearing this and didn't know what to think. Then, he remembered that his fellow Changeling comrade was known to occasionally talk to himself and act a bit silly. Changeling guard 1 and the other Changelings had usually just ignored it and shrugged it off as him just being weird, but if he really was crazy, then he can be a danger to himself and the rest of the hive!

Even though his presumed 'conscience's' warning sounded a bit far-fetched, he never really trusted Changeling guard 2 and had always thought there was something suspicious about him. Whatever the case may be, he wanted answers and if the other guard did have hostile intentions in mind for him and the rest of the hive, then Changeling guard 1 would personally bring him before the Queen and watch him get locked up in the darkest, coldest and worst cell that the Changeling Hive had!

Changeling guard 1 then stomped over to Changeling guard 2 to confront him and got right in his face! Changeling guard 2 glared daggers at him and said, "I know what you're gonna do and it's not gonna work! My future self told me what you're planning and-"

"Save it, 'Thrash'! I've had enough of your silly antics and me and the other Changelings have put up with it for long enough! I demand that you get these ridiculous notions out of that thick skull of yours and come clean at once or I'll have no other choice than to take you in by force and-" Changeling guard 1 warned.

"Nice try, 'Crush', or should I say 'rogue', but my future self warned me about you and your plot to assassinate the Queen, take the throne, and frame me for her death or what should've been her death, but you failed and set me up and got me locked up instead! If either of us is getting locked up, it's gonna be you traitor!" Thrash shot back.

"My conscience was right! You really have gone off the deep end!" Crush spoke. "You aren't killing the Queen, Crush, and how dare you accuse me of that when you're planning to do it yourself! I don't care what your stupid future self that you claim to have heard has been telling you! You're a menace to the Hive and the Changeling race as a whole and I will personally see to it that you spend the rest of your life in the worst prison that we have! To be honest, though, I never liked you and I will take great pleasure in having you locked up, you looney!"

Thrash found Crush's words very offensive and he looked as vicious as a hungry lion that was about to pounce its prey! "Oh, so you think I'm crazy, huh!? Well, you know what, Crush? If I'm crazy, then I'm gonna be the crazy Changeling that beats the living snot out of ya!" Thrash threatened.

"Go ahead! I'm not afraid of you! In fact, after I'm finished with you, I'll report your betrayal straight to Chrysalis and have you imprisoned for life!" Crush challenged.

"Not if I take you down first!" Thrash declared as he immediately charged himself into Crush and started a fight between him and the other Changeling guard!

Unbeknownst to the two Changelings, Twilight, Rainbow and the others were taking advantage of this distraction and slowly made their way past them and into the Changeling Hive. Rainbow stopped for few seconds to watch the two Changelings beat each other's brains out and she wanted to stay outside and see which one of them was gonna win, but Twilight used her magic on Rainbow and forcefully dragged her inside the Hive, much to Rainbow's disappointment.

Once inside, the Mane 6 kept going until they came to a empty hallway where there were no other Changelings anywhere in sight! This was a good thing too because Twilight's spell finally wore off and the 6 mares became visible again.

Twilight couldn't cast the spell again right now, at least not twice in the same day as it was very draining so Twilight and her friends would just have to be more careful and sneakier to avoid getting caught or alerting the Changelings of their presence. So for the next 15 minutes, the 6 ponies slowly and carefully checked every single room and hallway that they passed for their 8 human friends and each time they checked, they found no trace of them anywhere.

Fortunately, for the 6 mares, after a whole hour of searching, they discovered that they had already seen most of the Hive and there were now only 21 rooms left in the entire place that they had yet to search that John, Gary, Michael, Ned, Alice, Claire, Tony and Eddie could be at now. While this meant they still had some more searching to do, at least now they knew that it was only a matter of time now before they found them.

However, Twilight and her friends begin to notice that something didn't feel right. That's when they realized that for the past half hour, they hadn't seen or heard any Changelings anywhere at all! The rooms and hallways were all empty and quiet, too quiet!

In fact, with no Changelings around, searching the Changeling Hive had been easy, too easy! It didn't make sense! When they had first entered the Changeling Hive and searched through it for the first 10 minutes, the whole place was practically swarming with said creatures before they had slowly became less and less and harder to find!

"What the hay!?" Rainbow spoke. "Where did all the Changelings go!?"

Suddenly, the entire area of the Hive around them went pitch=black and they couldn't see anything! The Mane 6 were startled by this and didn't understand what was going on!

Then, almost as quick as it had came, the darkness went away as bright light once again illuminated the area around the 6 ponies and they could see clearly again! They, however, didn't like what they saw when they noticed that they were now completely surrounded by what looked like every single Changeling n the entire Hive!

It didn't take long for the 6 mares to realize that they had fallen into a trap! 'Oh, no!' Twilight thought in slight shock. 'We've been ambushed!'

None of the Changelings moved or attacked the 6 ponies, but just grinned at them and laughed. Despite having not done anything to them yet, Twilight and her friends knew that they had to act fast before anything else happened!

"Girls, it's time! We need to use The Elements Of Harmony!" Twilight shouted as she and her friends stood together and got ready to use the most powerful magic in all of Equestria on their foes!

But to their shock, after a minute, nothing happened and the Changelings hadn't been defeated or turned to stone like they should've been! When Twilight and the others tried to figure out what happened, their eyes grew wide and they all gasped to see that they were no longer wearing their respective elements around their necks anymore!

"Looking for these?" the Mane 6 heard an evil and very familiar voice as they all saw Queen Chrysalis appear, carrying all 6 mares' elemental necklaces!

Twilight and her friends quickly got over this and with looks of anger and determination on all their faces, Twilight said, "Alright, Chrysalis! You kidnapped our friends and now you've stolen the Elements from us! Release them and the Elements now or I can guarantee you that you will face the full power and fury of the princesses and Equestria! They already know what you did and if you don't surrender now, they'll be here as fast as Rainbow takes care of the weather back in Ponyville!"

"Oh, no! The princesses! I'm so scared-Not!" Chrysalis taunted, not the least intimidated by the Mane 6 or the princesses. "Besides, you're in no position to make demands!"

"I'm warning you, Chrysalis! Stop this now or there will be consequences!" Twilight warned. "Last time, at the wedding, we only cast you out of Canterlot and back to the BadLands! This time, it's over and you and the rest of the Hive are under arrest for kidnapping, stealing and plotting to invade Euestria and suck all the love out of all the ponies that live there!"

"Oh, I'm shaking," Chrysalis spoke sarcastically.

"Ya should be!" Applejack told her. "The princesses and the judge are gonna throw the book at ya and you and the other Changelings will stand trial for all the crimes you've committed against us and Equestria! You'll never take over our kingdom!"

"I beg to differ!" Chrysalis said. "Soon, me and my fellow Changelings will have the means to finally conquer Equestria! And when this happens, even the princesses will fall before me and the Changeling Hive and Equestria and all the sweet love of its stupid ponies will be ours for the taking!"

"Not if we can help it! We defeated you once before and we'll do it again!" Twilight replied. "Even without the Elements, we will stop you!"

Before Twilight or her friends could do anything, they were quickly overwhelmed by the Changelings who pinned them all to the ground and subdued them after placing metal shackles on all their horns, wings and legs. Twilight and Rarity tried to use their magic, but the shackles were designed to prevent anypony who wore them from using any. The shackles also were designed to make it impossible for ponies like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy from flying due to a special enchantment on them.

Despite this, the 6 mares refused to give up and put up quite the struggle. But this didn't last long and the Changelings all grabbed them and restrained them with their hooves. Chrysalis then smiled and ordered some of the Changelings to escort Twilight and her friends to the Hive's prison cell, which was the room that contained the same metal cage that the Mane 6's human friends had been in awhile ago.

As the Elements were being forcefully led away, Twilight turned her head back to Chrysalis with a very furious expression on her face and yelled, "You won't get away with this, Chrysalis! Forget going to prison! When all this is over, we'll turn you into stone and you will be sentenced to stay like that for all of eternity! do you hear me!? You will pay for this!"

After Twilight and her friends had been taken away and Chrysalis could no longer see them, the evil queen chuckled and thought to herself. 'This time, nothing will stop me and the Changeling Hive's conquest of Equestria! Farewell, Equestria, long live the mighty 'Changeling Empire'!'

..............................................................................

Meanwhile, back with the group of 12 humans and right outside the room that they were all at, a group of Changeling guards stood by. The humans still had 80 more minutes left before their deadline was up and the guards were patiently waiting until then before they went in to see what their progress on the weapons was at. Though, it was obvious that the Changeling guards were bored out of their minds and would rather be on patrol than be charged with guarding the humans and doing nothing unless they caused any trouble or the 24-hour deadline was up and they went in to see how far the humans were with creating the weapons.

Inside the room that the guards were guarding, Ned and Stan were busy giving the others directions and telling them more about their plan. "Are you sure this will work, Ned?" John asked. "You saw how many Changelings there are! There's no way we can fight all of them!"

"Maybe not, but where there's a will, there's a way!" Ned replied.

"Are you serious, man!?" Michael spoke. "It's only the 12 of us against all of them! We can't win!"

"Yeah, you dumbass! This is a bunch of bullshit!" Tony complained. "You and Stan should just complete the guns and give them to us so that I can make mince meat out of those Changelings! I so fucking want to see some Changelings get blasted apart like targets in a shooting gallery! That reminds me of when I used to shoot Rattlesnakes and scorpions in the desert with my dad's rifle! Those were good times, good times!"

"I know what I'm doing, Michael and Tony! There's a reason why I'm one of the best students in college and why I won that contest!" Ned spoke. "As for our plan, let's just say that those Changelings may have had us trapped ever since they captured us in Ponyville, but now it's time for us to spring a trap of our own! It's time for us to trap the Changelings!"
