Rise of the Hive

The Fall of Ponyville

*Cadence's Pov.*

The six mares all looked up and were surprised to see me.

"Cadence! You got to get us out of here, Something happened to Twilight!" Said Rainbow Dash.

I bit my lip and slowly started walking towards Twilights cell. I undid the locks on all the cells and slowly walked towards her. I sat in front of her and gently laid my hoof on her shoulder to comfort her. Her head shot up and I noticed that her eyes were bloodshot and stained with tears.

I took a deep breath and hugged her tightly.

"What happened to you Twilight?..."

She returned the hug and she broke down in the middle of it.

"C-Cadence!! I.. I'm so glad to see you... *Sniff*"

I felt so sorry for Twilight, she got the worst of Shining's Insanity. I lit my horn and radiated love into her.

"Your not alone in this Twilight..."

"What about...the princesses.

I looked up and bit my lip at the memory. I had been watching the whole battle... I saw the princess's get devoured.

"I don't know..."

I took a deep breath.

"We have to get out of here."

We all turned to leave just to see seven changeling elites baring their fangs at us menacingly

"Stay behind me!"

~Ω~

We flew towards the town and I could see hundreds of panicking ponies and several alarms going off. There was barely any guards in the streets. Equestria was running out of guards. We swarmed Ponyville and overwhelmed what defenses they did have and began to break into the houses and harvest the ponies.

"This is almost to easy..."

I watched as the swarm started infesting the city. There was one however that caught my attention. A big red stallion smashing changeling's left and right.

"Hmmm... I'll deal with him."

I began to dive and I aimed for the ground in front of him. I collided with the ground and he was sent flying back. The red stallion got back up and charged at me with a furious look on his face.

I levitated him and began to sap his energy. He started slowing down and he tried to break free. Eventually he went limp and I dropped him, he spoke to me

"Where.. is mah little sister.."

I grinned at him and said

"You wont have to worry about that anytime soon..." I chuckled.

I bit him for a few moments and ordered changeling's to put him in a cocoon immediately. Big mac was writhing in pain as they dragged him away. I took a deep breath and looked around. Chaos was flooding the city, Ponyville was ours.

I turned to Chrysalis.

"We cant be everywhere at once... Were going to need lieutenants."

"I think I know just the Ponies..."

Chrysalis chuckled evilly and I gave her a curious look.

"What do you mean?"

Her eyes glowed green and she stated.

"The Wonderbolts."

~Ω~

Seven dead changeling's were lying on the floor. I turned to make sure that my friends were unharmed. They were a little shaken but fine overall.

"They know were here now, We have to move NOW!"

I dashed out of the door and the elements followed me. The changeling's didn't know Canterlot like I did. I turned to a solid brick wall and pressed once of the bricks forward. The wall collapsed and lead to the Everfree forest palace.

We passed through and I sealed the wall. We were galloping in complete darkness when we heard sounds behind us.

"They know where we went!!!."

I bit my lip and stopped galloping.

"Go..."

The six gave me confused looks, However Twilight was the first to catch on.

"No.. NO I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!"

I bit my tongue hard and place a shield in between us. Tears were rolling down my face as I did this and I said.

"You have to go Twilight... Please do this for me.."

The changeling's were starting to break through the prison wall. Twilight gave me a pleading look.

"Please don't do this..."

All of us had tears in our eyes, even Rainbow Dash. I turned to Twilight.

"They're not going to stop... They're not going to stop unless I slow them down... NOW GO!"

I hated to yell at Twilight but she shook her head fiercely and stated.

"Ive always loved you Cadence... Goodbye..."

The six mares took off down the tunnel and I turned around just in time to see them break through the wall. With tears in my eyes and an enraged feeling came from within me. These changeling's had ruined my life, killed the Princess's and slaughtered thousands of innocent ponies.

I shook the tears in my eyes and I charged down the hall with a menacing war cry.

I charged my horn and sent a massive shockwave down the hallway. The changeling's were sent flying and the rammed back into the prison wall. I stabbed my horn into the first one I saw. I felt numb to violence as I stomped on another ones head. They began trying to restrain me and I fought them even harder. Dozens of changeling's were trying to swarm me. I missed one of them and he tackled me. Soon I had changeling's biting me all over, I screamed in pain and I remembered what happened to Luna and Celestia.

I felt a massive wave of strength surge through me and I flung all of them off of me using both my hooves and my magic. I flung them off me with enough force to crack their skulls against the prison walls. I sat there drained of energy when I noticed it was getting harder to breath.

I noticed the several bite marks were oozing out a green liquid. I felt venom coursing through my veins and I started hyperventilating. I turned to the wall but I stumbled and fell. I could feel the venom burning and getting closer to my heart. Once it got there my heart exploded in pain and I couldn't think straight. I started losing consciousness and I blacked out soon after.

The changeling's dragged Cadence's body into a cell and wrapped her in a cocoon...
