Aftermath

A black colored ship rock gently against the waves close to the shoreline, as its crew work on its deck. The crew of this seemingly dark ship wore either thin clothing or light armor that seems to be made of some kind of organic martial giving them a insect like appearance. This same martial also seems to cover the majority of the ships hull, giving it a glossy look.

However, as the insect looking crew work across the decks a faint grunt and groan could be heard coming from the staircase leading to the ship's innards.

In what could be easily called a washroom was a stallion, who was hissing and cursing words that would cause his mother to wash his mouth with a bar of soap if she heard him.

"God damn little shits! Why do they have to be so fucking small?!" Raged the stallion.

"My, my, my. I didn't think 'Celestia' little ponies had it in them to say those kind of words. I guess it true after all. If you live enough you get to see all kinds of things, even the impossible," said a figure from behind the stallion. Causing him to jump and pull out a small crystal shard from his face.

"Dammit!!!*Slow heavy breathing* What do you want Chrysalis? Are you here to gloat that you were right?" Said the stallion through the pain.

"Oh, Armor," the figure now named Chrysalis slowly moved into the soft green light coming from a lantern hanging on the wall, as she made her way towards the stallion named Armor as more of her became revealed, "Even I'm not that cruel."

Chrysalis is a tall female creature(roughly around 6"2' no horn, 6"9' with horn) with black like fur covering her body with a pair of incest wings coming out of her back. She has a long jagged horn coming out of her head near her hairline. Her hair is a dark teal color and looks like it was made of silk. Her eyes were made of two colors, a light jade color for the sclera and a dark jade color for her iris and her pupils slitted like a cat. Chrysalis was wearing a dark green dress with light green/blue accents on it. The dress itself went down just past her knees and had a slit on one side that showed off her legs.

The only thing that marred her dark beauty, were the grey patches of fur on her arms and legs. These patches of grey fur were sunken into her arms and legs like craters.

"Heh, yeah right, and I'm a princess ," Armor said sarcastically as he kept picking at his face.

"How could you, Armor? After everything I did for you ponies, you still treat me like a threat? How cruel," Chrysalis said in a hurtful tone... before smirking and saying, "But than again, you 'ponies' tend to hold on to your grudges more than I do."

"You kinda crash our weddings an-"

"Wrong, I crash 'your' wedding," Chrysalis said with a grin.

Turning around to show his right crystal blue eye to her. Armor said, "Fine. My wedding and cause mass terror among the people of Canterlot. Even though you saved us and cured us of our..... illness. Still won't just make it like what you did didn't happen."

*Huff* "Be that as it may, that still doesn't change the fact that you been avoiding me ever since you came back from town. So I will ask nicely. Turn around and face me, Shining Armor," Chrysalis said in a slight commanding tone.

"You know I don't have to follow your commands, right?"

"Armor. Now."

Sighing in defeat, Armor turn to face the slightly mad mare. Shining Armor was handsome stallion to say the least. The stallion stood around 5"9'(without horn). He wore nothing but a pair of black pants and a pair of old brown boots. His body is covered by white fur and his hair color was a dark blue with a light blue highlight running through it, like his tail. The only thing that could be said wrong about him was the fact that the left side of his face and his upper body has numerous amount of cuts with little crystals embedded in them, especially around the eye.

Chrysalis let out a whistle as she went over Shining Armor injuries. "I honestly didn't think that 'pinky' of yours had it in her to attack someone, especially like this," said Chrysalis while pulling out one of the crystals from Armors face causing him to flinch.

"But than again, she is a alicorn after all... A weak alicorn, but an alicorn none the less."

Still in pain from having a crystal pulled free from his face, Shining Armor said, "Well, she been trying to learn offence base magic for years no-*Another crystal pulled free* Ugh, years now. After moving to the Em-ugh-pire she made some headway with Crys-ugh-stal base magic. Even if it wasn't a lot. She could do still do some da-ugh-mage with what she learned. And- What are you doing!?" Shining Armor shouted at Chrysalis.

Chrysalis stared at Armor with her long fork tongue inches from his face with strange green liquid dipping from it. "Cleaning and sealing your wounds? Changeling honey can do many things, now shut up and let me work."

Shining Armor begrudgingly let Chrysalis lick his face, neck and chest, sealing the cuts that had a crystal removed from them. After a few moments, she stop to check her work. Nodding she says, "That should do it. However, the ones I didn't do should be check out by a doctor. Especially your eye," Chrysalis said with a slight wince. "There is a good chance your going to lose your left eye, Armor"

"I... I figure that," he said with a sigh. "But that doesn't matter now. I still have to get Flurry away from her and those damn Zebras." Armor said with a growl.

"Is that it?" Ask Chrysalis. "Save your daughter then run back to a ruin Equestria. Which, I might add, is technically still ruled by your Princesses and they belong to their to new owners. So Equestria, at this moment, belongs to the Grevy(Imperial) Zebra tribe. Not only that but nearly, if not all, your pony mares have been taken. If someone don't do something, than you ponies could will go extinct within a few short generations," said Chrysalis. "Or turned into a slave race."

Glaring at the Changeling Queen, Shining Armor shouted at her, "And what do you want me to do!? I spent nearly three years stuck in a bed and another year in physical rehab. I and most of the other stallions, ain't in any shape to go to war against them. Anger and hate can only carry you so far. And with the mares being happy about being sex slaves, there nothing we can do to help them!"

"Most of them."

"Wha..?"

"Most of the mares brought into the Zebras lies and happily pretend like nothing is wrong. Ponies like the Elements of Generosity and Honesty though, Rarity lost everything she own, while Applejack fears for her child being raised in a society that looks down on male ponies. Plus the fact she isn't allowed to work or do any farm work is another factor. Plus the Pagsai having their wings clip adds even more factors for us to work with," explain Chrysalis.

"I-I 'could' use that," said Shining Armor hesitantly. "But even with that information, how am I going to find the mares of who want to-"

*Crunch*

Shining Armor stops talking as he flatten his ears to keep out horrible crunching noise that attack his ears. Turning towards the sound, Shining Armor saw Chrysalis slowly crushing the crystals that had been removed from him with a chitin covered hand with dents and holes, where the patches of grey fur were. When she was finish crushing the crystals, a bright green flame cover her armed returning it to its fur covered state as she stared at him with a raised eyebrow.

Staring at Chrysalis, a thought soon cross his mind and Armor said, "Chrysalis, do you think your Changelings can help us?"

Smiling, Chrysalis said, "Of course, Armor," hearing this Shining Armor let out a sigh in relief. "However it will come with a price. And no, our pity in helping your kind can only go so far."

Taking a deep breath and he stared directly at the Changeling Queen with his single sky blue eye and Armor said, "What are your conditions, Chrysalis?"

Chrysalis smirk and told him her wants. "Those.... aren't as bad as I thought they would be," he said begrudgingly. "However some of them are-"

"Concerning? Of course they are. But they're for the future of Equestria as a whole. Without them, the future of both of our nations will be concerning. Seeing how Celestia made it so my people are seen as monsters with Equestria allies and now made you ponies legal slaves. We have no choice but to cut off a rotting limb to save the rest of the body, Armor. So what is it going to be? Cut off the past or rot with it?" Ask Chrysalis.

"I... I *Sigh* I accept your terms, Queen Chrysalis," Shining Armor said with acceptance.

"Good. Now let's work out the details of our.... union, shall we?" Chrysalis said with a grin.
