4 days earlier

"Did I just misheard?" the blue ram with red eyes asked, applying a hoof to his left ear. "I do not think I understood what you are saying"

"You heard it Grogar..." the tall female changeling said in a shaky voice, giving the impression of nervousness."I'm leaving!"

The whole place filled with the gasps from other creatures. Specifically from the red centaur and very young pink pegasus behind her.

It was a decision that most villains would not be able to do. Even better, Chrysalis was the only one who decided to take such a drastic step

Grogar began to rub his forehead in concentration, giving the impression of some sage.

He was thinking.

Chrysalis stood at attention, to give a feeling of being cool, but with her very moving eyes, everypony around her could see that she was nervous.

Tirek and Cozy with a shock in their eyes, only gazed at the former queen of changelings in front of them.

There was silence in the room. So quiet, that you could listen to nature, from the all sides. Inter alia, drops of water flowing down from the rocks, and falling directly to the floor. Rats wheezing in search of food, or even birds that somehow flew into their hideout.

Grogar took his hoof from his forehead and looked at the changeling, His half-closed eyes indicated that he was angry.

This was the decisive moment for Chrysalis.

"Do not let her escape!" the blue ram ordered, with a firm tone.

Before the old queen had chance, to look back, she was already surrounded by her two old friends and the boss.

Grogar looked behind Chrysalis.

The frightened changeling tried to back away, but felt the form of Tirek behind her.

"What are you waiting for?" he shouted. "Restrain her!"

The centaur and pegasus filly looking stressed, nodded at the order.

Tirek with his hands pressed Chrysalis to the ground, while Cozy grabbed her limbs so she could not break away.

The poor queen had no chance with the strength of a centaur, and the cleverness of a young pegasus.

The blue ram sighed, and gently grasped the scissors with his teeth.

"Maybe it will teach you what "obedience" means"

Grogar went to Chrysalis, and sat right in front of her.

He brought his head with the scissors closer to the her mane. In the general sense to its ends.

With one move of his teeth he began to cut it.

Chrysalis feeling locks of her mane begin to land on the floor, tried to break free from their friends grip.

Tirek, seeing this, pressed her head harder to the floor.

In spite of the difficulty with which the changeling was moving, Grogar continued his work.

"STOP IT!" the former Changeling Queen begged.

The blue ram ignored her, and was still cutting her mane.

Cozy pulled Chrysalis' tail, to stop her from moving.

30 minutes later

Before he finished his work, Grogar with the scissors went through the Chrysalis' mane several time.

After a long work, he put down the scissors and looked at the crying changeling.

"Look at me sweetheart" the blue ram said to her, with unsettlingly sugary voice. "Show me how my work came out"

Chrysalis only with tears in her eyes, she looked at the pieces of her mane on the floor.

Grogar with an impatient expression on his face, forcedly caressed her chin.

"Look at me you bug!" he shouted to her eyes.

Her mane, although it was similar to her previous one. It was very different. Namely, that her mane was shortened to the neck.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked him with widened eyes.

The blue ram maliciously laughed.

"Since Sombra was defeated, I had no intention of listening to someone wanting to get out of my group, as if nothing had happened" he answered. "If you want us to be nice to you. You must follow our rules. Understood?"

"NO!" Chrysalis hissed. "I told you that I finished with being evil"

Grogar gritted his teeth angirly.

"You have a last chance bug" he said, but this time with more scarier tone. "If you will follow the rules, nothing will happen to you"

Chrysalis took a breath, as she spat on Grogar's eye with all her might.

The blue ram began to rub his eye with anger.

"You crossed the line" he whispered. "That was your last chance"

Grogar looked at Tirek and Cozy.

"Take her to the dungeons" he ordered.

The red centaur and pink pegasus filly nodded, and using Tirek's strenght carried her through the corridors.

Grogar only sat on the floor, still wiping his eye from her saliva.

"Damn bug!" he shouted to himself. "I gave her what I had, and she repays me like that?"

The blue ram looked at his crystal ball.

"A real subject should know, how to behave properly" he angirly murmured.

Present day

"Hey Chryssie" the brown pony whispered, by gently nuzzling her. "It's time to wake up"

Chrysalis yawned, as she looked at the ceiling with her beautiful green eyes.

"I still want to sleep" she mumbled sadly, touching the bandage on her head.
"I know" Filthy giggled. "...But remember what would happen, if my daughter came in"

The former Changeling Queen sighed, and looked at him.

"If you say so" she shrugged.

Around her, green flames began to appear again, this time replacing a black creature with a pale green unicorn pony with ginger mane and camera on her neck.

Filthy looked at the camera she was wearing.

"I advise you to take it off" he said. "I would burn with shame, If my daughter would ask me why you are sleeping with the camera"

Chrysalis looked at neck of her pony form.

"Thanks, for reminding this" she nervously blushed, taking camera off her neck, and putting it on the bedside table next to her.

The brown pony smirked, when he heard filly hoofsteps coming to their bedroom.

They both also heard the door to their room slowly open, showing a small pink filly standing behind them.

"DADDY!" Diamond Tiara galloped to her parents' bed and jumped on it, hugging her father.
