Rise of the Hive

The Fall of Ponyville. Part 1

I felt utter shock radiating from the five mares behind me. However the air around me soon began to spark and charge with magical residue. The frequency continued to increase until a massive shock wave sent me flying back into a wall. I could feel Twilights energy spilling out of her horn.

Twilights face was contorted in pain, no one could move until the massive wave of energy subsided. Eventually it started to slow down and then stopped altogether. Twilight immediately passed out and I rushed over to her, her friends were worried about her.

"Get away from her ya monster!"

"I don't want her to die. If you cooperate with me I assure you no further harm will be done to her or to you."

Applejack heard the sincerity of my words and looked away with a scowl on her face.

"Take them to the dungeons but take Twilight to the infirmary. I will deal with the elements."

I levitated the five necklaces and a tiara away from the bearers. I was intent on destroying them but I had no idea how.

"I don't even know if they CAN be destroyed...But I'm going to try."

I stood there for several minutes trying to find a way to destroy them. I tried physical means as well as magical. However nothing worked, not even destruction magic. I hissed in frustration and decided that I would find a way later. Chrysalis trotted over to my side and looked at the Elements.

"I'll need to keep these locked away."

"Put them back into the vault, I can have changeling's seal the door."

I was tired from the battle, I still hadn't fully recovered from Twilights blast. I still couldn't fly but I could use small amounts of magic.

"We captured several guards... Perhaps they could help you."

I grinned at Chrysalis,

"I think I just might do that. Here seal the Elements in the vault."

Chrysalis took the Elements in her magical aura and started heading towards the vault. I started heading towards the battlefield.

"I'll see you again soon my love."

I noticed several guards restrained in changeling resin and I looked around for a suitable guard. One of them was a larger unicorn guard. I trotted over to him and he looked at me with a disgusted expression.

"I think you'll do."

I leaned down to bite his neck... But then something unexpected happened.

"Not on your life."

I saw his horn light up and I heard a whistling sound heading my way. My eyes widened and I looked up just in time to see the dagger puncture my neck and straight through my jugular vein. I gagged in pain and stumbled to the ground.

"META!!!"

I couldn't form a coherent thought as the blood gushed out of my neck. I noticed at least a dozen changeling's were mauling the unicorn guard, but I couldn't hear it. I started losing consciousness and it was almost impossible to fight. I saw Chrysalis land with an extremely worried expression and she looked at my neck and her face turned to despair.

Tears formed in her eyes as she saw how mortally wounded I was. She caressed my face with her hoof.

"Meta..."

My heart skipped a beat, her tone sounded hopeless. I could no longer fight the darkness and I lost consciousness.
