The purple portal appeared near the edge of Cloudsdale. She walked through the portal, it closed behind her. She started heading toward the center of Cloudsdale. But five Changelings landed in front of her, barring her passage.

"Hey look, a self-giving fool."

"Should we kill it?"

"Nah, we can always use another slave though." They all laughed as they launched toward her.

'Idiots.' A large black and purple hole appeared in front of her and fired a magic beam as the same color as it into the Changelings that were rushing towards her. They all panicked and tried to avoid but it was too late. The magic beam destroyed them. The hole dissapeared after killing them. But the magic beam she had just fired attracted the attension of the nearby Changelings.

She glanced around and found herself surrounded by ten no twenty Changelings. They all growled, ready to attack at any time. The portal appeared under her hooves and in the midair. The portals immediately dissapeared after she sank and apeared in the air. They looked around to search and quickly flew towards her. The holes appeared to shoot magic beams towards them and quickly dissapeared after the shot was completed. There were many Changelings dodged it. Those who got hit after falling down also tried to fly up to kill her. Many Changelings were dying because of too much blood loss. But the number did not decrease because the magic beams she had just fired attracted more Changelings in the distance. The number had increased to more fifty and they had surrounded her.

'Oh great! Guess i have to use it again.' She thought to herself. Four big holes appeared surround her and began to release flames towards them. Just like in Ponyville, the flames exploded. Causing them who were hit or not hit were burnt and fell on the cloud. The number dropped quickly, only a few Changelings were left.

Those who survived were horrified. Althought frightened and horrified, but they did not give up on killing her. She just smiled cruelly as they rushed towards her. A large hole appeared and shot a giant magic beam at them. The magic beam ripped them apart. Their blood flew anywhere.

All of them died, only two Changelings were hiding behind the nearby building. They put their hooves on each other's mouths, trying not to make any noise. Their emotions were chaotic: frightened, horrified, worried and etc. She glanced around to see if there was any other Changeling. She shrugged then the dark purple holes appeared under the bodies of the Changelings she killed. The holes sucked their bodies in and then dissapeared. The portal appeared in front of her and dissapeared after she entered.

There was a long silence, it dissapeared after a voice said.

"I-i-is s-she g-g-gone?" Asked the first one, still shaking. The second glanced out to find her sign but nothing.

"Yes, she is. I hope so." Answered the second one.

"W-w-what d-do w-we d-do n-n-n-now?" Asked the first one.

"We must go to Canterlot and warn the Queen." Said the second one. The other one nodded and they flew towards Canterlot.

MEANWHILE, IN CANTERLOT ...

Chrysalis was sat in the throne room with a variety of maps on the table in front of her. She planned to invade the Yakyakistan and Griffon Empire, but Equestria still had more than enough love to maintain them for a while. As she went over possible strageties with her advisor, the doors oppened.

"Who dares disturb the Queen." Shouted the advisor. The spared Changeling was thrown on the floor by the guards that dragged it in. He stood up and stammered because he was still scared.

"Give him some water." The guard immediately took the water and gave it to him. He drank it quickly.

Chrysalis waited for him to finish drinking and said. "Now, tell me slowly about what matter is such of importance that you would disturb your Queen."

"It's about the Changelings in Ponyville my Queen."

"Yes?"

"W-well, they are ... they all ... how can i say this, they're ... dead, Your Highness." It said, covering before the Queen.

"WHAT?!" She screamed. The Changeling in front of her started trembling because of her sudden rage. "How could it be possible?! There are more than thirteen Changelings in Ponyville and they are dead?! How is this possible?!!"

"It was a dark yellow Pegasus, Your Highness. It also can use magic."

"A Pegasus that can use magic?!" Princesses, Twilight and her friends were all surprised about this. "What does it look like?"

"It was a dark yellow Pegasus. It wore a black cloak, covering its whole body and wore a mask made of bone."

"A mask made of bone?"

"Yes, Your Highness. It also said: It's your turn to be hunted."

She thought for a moment and then said. "You may go."

"Spread the news to other places, strengthen the protection of the skies!" She said to one of Elite guards, who flew off to carry her orders. She then turned her attention to the rest. "Put every other Changling on the high alert! When meeting this Pegasus must kill immediately!!"

'A pegasus that can use magic? A dark yellow Pegasus? Whoever this Pegasus, it's might be our only hope.' Twilight thought to herself.

Chrysalis stepped onto her throne and sat down, sipping tea. Suddenly the doors oppened, the guards threw two Changelings to the floor.

'This should be good.' She sipped her tea.

"Your Majesty, we're sorry for bothering you ... but ... the Changelings in Cloudsdale. They're dead, Your Highness." Said the first Changeling.

Chrysalis almost choked on tea after hearing the news. "WHAT?!!" She screamed. She screamed louder than the first time. "Is it a dark yelow PEGASUS that can use MAGIC?!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Answered the second one.

"It killed over a hundred Changelings! Impossible! Even if it can use magic, this is not possible!" Chrysalis said almost scream. She noticed the Changelings were still there, looking up at her in shocked. "You two may go."

Twilight and the others were looking at each other, their eyes filled with hope for the first time in weeks. 'It really is our only hope!'

IN ROCK FARM

The Changelings were strictly watching their location. Their mission was to protect the eggs, baby Changelings and this place. Suddenly a portal that appeared near Holder's Boulder caught their attention. They saw a Pegasus walking through the portal. It closed behind her. They quickly landed in front of her.

"Hey look, a new slave!"

"A new self-giving slave!"

She sighed and stared at them. The Stare made them immobile. The large hole appeared under their hooves. Many claws appeared through the holes and grabbed them and also freed them from The Stare. They screamed and begged but were in vain. When the claws began to pull them down, they kept begging, pleading. But it was to late, a large pool of green blood shot up, flying everywhere.

The Changelings in the nearby area, after hearing the scream, they rushed towards the source. When they arrived, their pupils shrink, horrified by the sigh they had just seen. They saw a big pool of blood and some black hooves were in it. They looked up and saw a Pegasus looking at them. They felt their hooves shaking violently. When they did not notice, a large black and purple hole appeared behind them. It shot a giant magic beam at them, instantly killing them. Dark purple holes appeared under their bodies and sucked it inside.

Seeing the house nearby, she walked to it. When she stepped inside, she saw five cocoons in the middle of the house. As she stepped closer, she saw that there were five Ponies in it. The holes appeared under their bodies and they were sucked in.

'Should i take their magic energy?' She thought for a moment then shrugged. Five portals opened near the wall and their bodies fell to the floor. She checked if they were still alive.

'Oh they're still alive.' When the cocoons were sucked into the holes, she left the house. As she walked to the door, she heard some noice behind her. She turned and saw Maud and Limestone waking up.

"Ugh ... my head ..." Said Limestone. She was rubbing her head with a hoof. "You okay, Maud?"

Maud just nodded, rubbing her head. They turned and saw a masked Pegasus watching them. They immediately stood up, preparing their fighting posture.

"Who are you?! What did you do to us?!!" Said Limestone, growling. As Maud looked into her eyes, she realized there was a danger in it.

"Limestone, bring our parents and Marble out of here. I will handle it." Said Maud, still keeping a high concentration on Fluttershy.

"But Maud ... "

"NOW!!" Yelled Maud, turned to look at her sister's eyes. Seeing the determination in her sister's eyes. Limestone nodded, quickly carried the three of them and ran away. Before running away she said. "You better be alive and return to us!"

There was a short silence before it disappeared "I don't want to kill you or your family. If i want, i won't let your sister go so easily. " Said Fluttershy. Seeing that Maud didn't believe her, she sighed and said. "Follow me."

Maud nodded and following her, however still watchful. When Fluttershy led her to the place where the Changelings dead, she was shocked as she saw two large green pools of blood.

"You probably remember that Changelings attacked Equestria right?" Asked Fluttershy. She turned to look at Maud, waiting for the answer.

"Yes, i do remember." Replied Maud

"And you probably remember how they occipied this place?"

"Yes, i do remember."

"So you might know where they put their eggs, right?

"No, i don't."

"I didn't expect you remember."

"Why did you ask me these questions?"

"Because you live here and you know this place well so you will help me find the eggs."

"Okay, i'll help you."

They started searching for the eggs of Changelings. After a while, they finally found them in a nearby cave. In which more than fifty eggs were placed everywhere and there were also a few guards. When they saw her and Maud, they growled and prepared to attack. Before they could attack, a giant hole appeared under their hooves, causing them to sink. They tried to move but only sink deeper. They screamed for help but were helpless. The last image they saw was that Fluttershy was looking at them with bloodthirsty eyes.

"What happened to them?" Asked Maud, althouh shocked but did not show it.

"They were taken to another dimension, where took their magic energy." Answered Fluttershy.

"How did you know?"

"Because i'm the one who did it."

"What should we do to these eggs?"

"You can go to your family, i will handle these eggs." Before Maud could say anything, the portal appeared behind her, it sucked her in and disappeared.

She stepped out of the cave and looked at it. She closed her eyes and focused hard. A super giant hole appeared under the mountain and began sucking it inside. It took a long time to suck the entire mountain. She gasped as she finished.

"Sorry for doing that to you, eggs" The portal appeared in front of her and she entered. And then it closed.
