Various changelings panic as a small spinning metal top unaffected by their magic starts tearing through their surroundings like a hot knife through warm butter. The gold and black top was indeed heating up the environment as it tore through it, as the pussified pacifist changelings run around screaming. It's not helping that multiple bipeds in yellow spandex and Queen Chrysalis are present during this disaster.

"This had better draw him out." The Chad copy next to Chrysalis says.

"He'll come, otherwise it would undermine his authority and ability to protect his stolen subjects. Rest assured." Chrysalis replies, smiling smugly.

As if on queue, Thorax and Pharynx fly in. Pharynx rushes a Chad, transforming into the bestial spider scorpion thing he turns into a lot. The main Chad pulls out a bakugan ball, throwing out a Darkus Nillious. Pharynx continues his stride, and is subsequently kicked damn far by the Nillious.

"Follow him, and don't stop until he's paste." The lead Chad orders the Nillious, which flies off.

Thorax focuses his attention on Chrysalis. "You might have been welcome here before, but you aren't now! Attacking us with all of these monsters!" Thorax yells, turning into a bear and rushing forward.

The Chads proceed to all draw their blasters, shooting at Thorax. This causes him to stumble and fall, reverting back to normal.

"I guess I have to squash this bug myself." The lead Chad says as the doubles merge back into him.

Chrysalis holds a holed leg in front of him. "No, capture him. He stole my kingdom from me, I want him to go through isolation as I have."

"Fine. But the other one's being exterminated." Chad says, holding out the morpher at Thorax. "You have been accused of usurping the rightful ruler of this land and kingdom." Chad presses the button, activating the judging mode. A green circle and red X alternate flashing. Thorax looks at it in fearful confusion for a moment, until the red X becomes solid. "You are guilty." Before Thorax can get back up, he's captured by the device, and is now in a tiny card. Chad picks it up and hands it to Chrysalis. "Here you go."

Chrysalis looks at Chad in mild amazement. "How did you do that to him without magic?" She asks.

"Technology. Not even I know how it works, I just use it." Chad replies as the Hades Kerbecs returns to him.

Chrysalis puts the card in a leg hole, filling in the hole to keep it covered. "Now, I'm going to reclaim my hive." Chrysalis says, her wings buzzing as she takes flight. She quickly evades the returning Pharynx.

"You thought your dumb beast could kill me that easily!? HA! I'LL SHOW YOU HOW A REAL WARRIOR FIGHTS!" Pharynx yells furiously, divebombing at Chad.

Chad retaliates by doubling up again, letting a copy take the hit for him. The copies all take out their blasters, firing at Pharynx just as they had Thorax earlier. Pharynx shrugs it off, grabbing a Chad and flying up with it. Chad waits for him to get pretty high before demorphing. The copies all dissipate, which makes Pharynx confused when the one he was holding just fizzles out of existence. Chad takes the opportunity to morph into a different ranger; the Ninja Storm red ranger.

"Ninja Storm, ranger form!" Chad morphs, taking to the skies thanks to the red ranger's air power. He uses the tactic the wonderbolts beat him with before, knocking into the airborne Pharynx without giving him so much as an opening to regain control of his flight. Chad grabs hold of Pharynx's wings, tearing through the delicate structures. Pharynx begins to plummet, which Chad furthers by slamming into Pharynx from above. Hard. Pharynx impacts the ground with enough force to form a small crater, his chitin covered in spiderweb fractures. "Any last words, pest?" Chad spits, his voice dripping with venom.

Pharynx just glares at Chad angrily, teeth gritted in anticipation of the end. "Nothing? Really? That's no fun." Chad remarks in disappointment, pulling out a black and purple top, and flipping his launcher to left spin. He sends out Gravity Destroyer, using its power to exert downward force onto Pharynx, the pressure creating more fractures in his already compromised chitin. The pressure becomes too much for Pharynx's body to withstand, as his chitin shatters. Pharynx practically explodes, insectoid viscera splattering everywhere, including on some unfortunate changelings nearby, who faint from the whole experience. Destroyer is recalled, and Chad turns to the crowd, Chrysalis now by his side. "Citizens of whatever the fuck this place is called. Your kings are defeated, and Chrysalis shall be re-instated as Queen of the Changelings. Resistance will lead to a fate worse than death. Comply, or else." Chad announces, the changelings mostly cowering in fear. One changeling still stands, defiantly stepping forward. "I see. I will have to make an example of you then." Chad says woefully. Chrysalis holds a holed foreleg in front of Chad.

"No, do not kill my subjects. We need as many as we can have for our army." Chrysalis states, hoping her logic will deter Chad.

"Is that weakness I hear? Honestly, how do you expect to command your army if they defy you? That one will have to go, unless you wish to be another of my enemies." Chad says coolly, his demeanor going back to threatening.

Chrysalis sighs. She had hoped no more changeling blood would be spilled, but this was how it had to be, lest she fight a battle she cannot win. "Forgive me, do with him as you wish." Chrysalis reluctantly says, looking at the defiant changeling mournfully.

Chad points his morpher at the changeling, sending out shurikens from the disk portion straight at the changeling, who is regretting his decision. The projectiles slice through him, spraying more bug guts around as his limp, lifeless husk falls to the ground in segments. Chrysalis can feel the overwhelming fear emanating from her subjects increase ten-fold. At that moment, she began to question her decision of partnering with the monster known as Chad. Sure, she has her kingdom back, but at what cost? There's no way she could fight that, even if she wasn't in a weakened state right now. For fuck's sake, he killed Pharynx and captured Thorax in under ten minutes!

Chad picks up the Nillious ball from Pharynx's viscera. Bastard must have failed to smash the ball, and fucking ate it! Not that it would have done anything either, I don't think... Meh, I have an army of bugs to serve as lackeys now. Hopefully they're more competent than stormtroopers, cause then they'd just be pointless cannon fodder that end up unknowingly giving the enemy target practice or something. I've always hated that trope in anime, just use your best weapon right away and fuck over the heroes' journey. Fucking morons.

Chad takes a closer look at the jellybean bugs, then looks back at Chrysalis' pocked and blackened form. "So if they're your subjects, why don't they look like you? They looked more like their kings did." He whispers, giving an incredulous look completely hidden underneath his helmet. Although, Chrysalis could sense the confusion.

"They were turned into those forms when the traitor Thorax told them that they could share their love freely. Before that, they looked like miniature versions of myself." Chrysalis explains in another whisper.

"Gotcha. I have an idea..." Chad steps forward, demorphing to address the changelings more directly. "Changelings of this land, you have all been deceived by your former king Thorax."

The changelings all look at each-other in varying degrees of confusion. Chad strikes a pose, pointing dramatically. "Sharing your love freely will only lead to heartbreak and misery! It might feel great at first, but you WILL be taken advantage of! Ever get into a relationship only to catch your significant other cheating on you? I have! Ever have someone use you to gain things, only to dump you after? I have! That's what love does! It lures you in only to take and take and take! How can you remain safe from it? Easy! Close yourself off! Never give anyone the chance to hurt you! Because they always will!"

The changelings all whisper among themselves. Strangely enough, they all don't sense any kind of deception from this being, only the deep sadness buried underneath his undying rage. One appears to revert back to their old holed form. Slowly but surely, others start following suit, until all but a few have reverted. Those last few will see the truth in time...

^~-=-/\/\/-=-~^

The young six all start to recover from their little blackout from jumping to another dimension. All of them appear in the same kind of bipedal form the monster was in. All that is, except for Smolder... who looks vaguely like a doberman pinscher.

"Um, Smolder? Are you a dog?" Sandbar asks, in disbelief of what he's seeing.

Meanwhile, Gallus doubles over in laughter, pointing at Smolder's canine form. Just as Smolder was about to charge Gallus, Silverstream immediately picks her up in a tight hug.

"Hey, watch it!" Smolder scolds, kicking her legs in protest.

Silverstream sets Smolder down. "Sorry! You're just so huggable!"

The group starts walking towards the nearby school. On all fours. That is, until Ocellus remembers something important about the monster. She stands up, balancing carefully, before walking forward. "Guys, like this!" She shows the rest of the group, who fumble around before standing up. Smolder tries, but she can't balance on her hind legs anymore.

"Onward, to find Twilight!" Gallus triumphantly declares, the others following suit.
