Trixike

Trixike sighed as the Kitewe sleep on her bed, she had no toy's to play with, no chore to take care of, and all her monsters where being taken care of for her, she had nothing to do, so that's what she was doing, she was leaning against the locked door of her cart. It had been a fairly long time since Cadence had left, and she was waiting for the Queen to show up and give her some attention."

"Trixike is Bored" She moaned to the room "She demands some entertainment!"

"I know a few jokes if that would help," A voice said making her jump and fall flat on her face

"Who in Existence was that!" She demanded as she picked herself up

"Oh, It's me, Launchpad, the Queen told me to stand guard, said it was something even I couldn't mess up!" Trixike looked at the door in silence

"Why didn't you say something!" She demanded

"I didn't want to interrupt anything important."

"There's nothing but a Chess set and my sleeping pet in here, there isn't anything I could do that would be considered important!" She called back "Trixike is bored and demands you entertain her!" Trixike jumped back into the door when Launchpad teleported into the room. "And Give a warning before you...oh hey, you took my advice," She noticed, Launchpad was now wearing a jacket and a pilots hat with goggles "It looks good"

"Thanks!" He said proudly "I got em for free too! Chry...I mean Cadence gave 'em to me under the promise that I would shut up and get back to work." he stood in silence for a second before scratching his head "So...what now?"

"We do the only thing we can do" She responded, "We play chess!"

-Elsewhere-

"Dang it!" Starlight said as she paced around the map "We had her! She was being rehabilitated and everything! And now she's gone Again!" she sighed "Never should have used that spell."

"Where did you even find that spell anyway?" Twilight asked, "I've read through hundreds of Spellbooks, and I've never so much as heard a reference to a spell that acts like this one." She shook her head "I even checked a few black magic books and nothing! Where did you learn this spell?" Starlight gave an odd chuckle

"Where did I learn it?" She asked nervously "I...learned about it from an ancient history book Thorax gave me" She laughed as she turned back to Twilight "It's the spell that created Their race" she looked at Twilight in silence

"You were using a spell that made a race that for over 7 hundred years...has been unrelentingly evil....to make assorted flavors of Apples!?"

"To be fair there's no record left of what creatures were used to make the changling race, just that there where more than 4 creatures used, I just figured if I didn't use it on any sentient creatures nothing bad would happen...it didn't say anything about water activating a chain reaction in items hit with the spell."

"What did it say about the spell," Twilight asked, this was met by silence "It only said things about combining two objects right?"

"There was also a spell to split things apart...with turned out to just be a disintegration spell, It did only say it would split the fusion apart, never specified putting the two original pieces back together."

"Starlight," Twilight said calmly "It's fine, It would be a different story if you had planned to use it on them, but you were only planning on fruit testing, and then those two just...kind of ran into the room." Twilight shook her head as she walked over to her friend "Look, I've done so stupid things before....a lot of stupid things even, That has never stopped me from moving forward, and I know you've done some stupid stuff as well, and I know that has never stopped you either." Starlight laughed

"Nice pep talk Twilight," She said with a smile "but we're getting off track" Starlight turned back to the map, Rarity was using her magic and, with Applejacks instructed, was placing small X's on the map

"Definitely none of the big city" AJ muttered as she looked at the amber jar sample provided by Luna, who had briefed them before teleporting off. "This Amber is ancient, it would need to come from someplace mostly untouched by ponies, and the tree that made it must be even older than this"

"I thought Tree's made sap" Rarity interjected

"Amber is sap" Applejack responded "Just fossilized, it most likely came from a tree that originally had sap with magical properties, but the tree itself would either be long dead...or a fossil..." Applejack grumbled as she looked at the map "I like plants but I'm not a dam botanist, why is this my job!?"

"Because you know things about plants" Rarity responded, "and Twilight is supposed to be looking into who or what might have kidnaped Trixike!" Rarity sighed "Oh my poor Spikey-Wikey, turned into a monster..."

"What about Trixie?" Starlight asked, receiving no response,

"Well I'm sorry, I've just been busy trying to stop Zecora from trying to kill Discord for the whole, making her disappear for a few days, things. but I have managed to knock a fair number of out old villains off the list" She added with a smile, which then melted as she continued "Of course, this could be a new villain we've never met before, so in the end, there's always a chance I'm waiting my time."

-Meanwhile-

"YOU CHEATED!" Trixike yelled angrily as a Confused Launchpad watched her flip the board

"But you won." He responded in confusion

"I know! But This game isn't fun unless you throw it to the floor and blam the other player of cheating."

"Wait, so were you cheating...or was I?" He asked in confusion, Trixike opened her mouth, and found she had no solid response

"Trixike has been locked up to long...oh I know!" She ran over to her window and waved to get Palrabtus's attention "P.T.M.C!" She called "Get me out of here! I need to move!" Palrabtus looked up at her, gave a few clicked and turned her back on her, Trixike looked down at her "That was really mean" She muttered "you could have just said no" She muttered before running to the other side of the cart and called out as loud as she could "MEGA FLOWER!" She called "CAN YOU HEAR ME? TRIXIKE WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF HER PRISON, CAN YOU..." The Mega Flower roared out and Trixike shut up "FIne!" She muttered angrily "I never liked you either!"

"Wha's up?" Launchpad asked, putting the chess pieces back in random places.

"Palrabtus told me the Changling are feeding her and there more reliable than me and my disappearing act" She muttered angrily "And the Mega Flower called me a few choice words before telling me It didn't need me now that the Changelings are taking care of its needs." She muttered angrily as she lay on the floor, before jumping up "But I still have my Kitewe!" She ran over and patted her creature on the head "You won't betray you, mommy, will you?" She asked "You a good little monster." The Kitewe hissed at Trixike for waking it up and swiped her in the face, Trixike jumped back, crying as she held her face, several claw marks across her muzzle, The Kitewe made a mixture of a Baa and a Meow before turning and laying back on the bed, Launchpad had reacted instantly and used a spell to at the least stop the bleeding

"I don't speak monster, but even I heard that hostility" Trixike rubbed her face as she translated

"It told Trixike not to mess with her superiors." Launchpad looked over at the creature on the bed

"Eh, I'm not much of a cat fan myself, He walked over to the door" I'll be right back, just...you know...keep clear of your monster over there for a second." Launchpad teleported out of the cart and ran full speed to the Queen "Your Highness!" He said to get her attention, she immediately sighed

"I told you not to bother me unless it was..." She stopped talking and leaned down on him "You have blood on your face"

"Trixike's Cat Lamb thing attacked her!" He reported "I mended to scratched a little but I came to..." Chrysalis walked past him

"Report to medical to get cleaned and checked," She said immediately "I'll take care of things from here." Launchpad gave her a salute

"Yes mom, I mean Ma'am" Chrysalis sighed as he ran off, she walked over to the cart and opened the door, Trixike was hiding under the chess board, the cat monster had gotten off the bed and was now testing to see how much control it had of the situation. Without a word Chrysalis lit her horn and levitated the creature in the air, it let out a hiss and began swiping in Chrysalis direction

"A Street cat" She noted with a sigh "Great, now I have to deal with this" She pulled the creature out of the cart and Magically encased it in a crate, after giving the orders the monster was carried off by a group of Changelings before she walked back in and sat in front of Trixike, who was still hiding under the Chessboard "Morning" She said Politely, Trixike peaked out from under the board at Chrysalis before hiding under the board

"You do look cooler than Cadence" She noted shakily, Chrysalis sighed

"Come with me," She said clearly motioning to the open door "Clearly your monsters have no emotional connections to any one thing, only ones of being feed, and I have clearly been taking having you in the hive in the wrong manner." Trixike didn't move and in the end, was levitated onto Chrysalis back and walked out of the cart

"Having your creations betray you, ones you tried to care for, attempt to overthrow you and become your superiors." Chrysalis stated simply "I've had it happen to me, I was once a Mighty Queen of a massive hive, now I have lost almost all of it, only a small number of my children remain under my command, even if most of them want to join the new ways, they don't want to hurt their mother's feeling." Chrysalis sighed at the thought "Their good kid's, even Launchpad, he may be moronic and my least favorite, but he's still one of my little morons." Trixike continued shaking on her back

"I can tell this isn't the first time you've been betrayed, but I'm guessing the other time or times, it was only one or two of them, not every one of them betraying your trust at once." Chrysalis continued walking with Trixike until they reached the infirmary area of the hive, Launchpad was having his face clean and was being checked for scratched and cuts, another changling was laying in a bed with its left front leg in a cast, and one other changling was laying in bed with a bubble around it. As Trixike was placed in a bed Chrysalis walked over to the one in a bubble and greeted it, Trixike's attention was stolen when a female changling walked over to her and looked at her,

"Claw marks on the face" She muttered, "small bite front claw, from forelimb, has a deep bite mark, matching those of a dog." as she spoke she wrote these things on a notepad, she looked around Trixike's body for any other marks of blemishes, big or small "Scale missing on base of tail, small crack around base of left horn..." She opened Trixike mouth and nodded "Teeth need a deep cleaning" She added before touching her stomach, which gained a few chucked from Trixike as the changling rubber her stomach "Definitely needs some real food" she added with a nod. she cast a spell on Trixike and nodded once more "Need's a few shots" with a spark of her horn, the page was duplicated and placed at the end of Trixike's bed, with was engulfed in a bubble "Sorry for the bubble, but is necessary for anyone in the wing who hasn't been vaccinated" The nurse said before leaving for a room in the back, she paused at the queen and gave a polite nod "Morning Your Highness"

"Anything to bad?" Chrysalis asked

"A fair list actually" She responded, "I'll need Buzz and Click before I continue, but They'll be easy enough to find, I know for a fact that Click has nothing to do.' She gave a final nod before walking over to the other two nurses, who had just cleared Launchpad to leave, and informed them of their new patient. Chrysalis leaned down and whispered something in the nurse's ear, "OH! You think she might...Yes, I can see it, yes I'll run the test" She said with a nod, Chrysalis said goodbye to her and the Changling in a bubble and patted the sleeping one in a cast on the head before moving back to Trixike

"Don't worry," She said, "This time tomorrow you'll be right as rain."

"How long have those guy been in here?" Trixike asked, pointing to the other two patients

"Sling," She said pointing to the one in a bubble" has been here a while, got sick on a...trip to the Crystal Empire, and Gossamer over there took a stupid bet and paid the price." She sighed with a head shake "But they both have serious problems, none of your's require serious time here, just a quick overlook and a few odds and ends and...as previously stated...you'll be right as rain" Chrysalis turned to leave before adding "and I'm moving your cart to a different area, so you don't have to worry about your monsters yelling at you." Trixike waved goodbye as Chrysalis walked out of the infirmary, being greeted by one of the changelings who had carried the Kitewe away

"As ordered you highness," He said with a salute "The Creature is, at this very moment being taken to the outskirts of Ponyville" Chrysalis smiled

"Good, That should help throw them off our tracks, and your team remembers the plan?"

"Yes, they will be in disguise when they Inject the monster and release it, and will teleport away only after the creature is done, or defeated."

"Good" Chrysalis smiled "I'm going to the throne room, don't disturb me unless it's new's about the monster or Trixike, I have plans to make and plans to put into action."
