Twilight wasn't the 'only' pony to ever be Celestia's beloved student..

Many years ago (same year Luna became nightmare moon) Ditto was Celestia's most trusted student, same role Twilight 'currently' has. It's considered that Celestia cared deeply for him, as she was clearly saddened when he ran away after he blaimed Celestia for the death of his family, and she never got the chance to try talking about it, as she was too busy stopping nightmare moon.

Years later, Ditto runs into Queen Chrysalis after her defeat in Canterlot Wedding. The Queen, after hearing how lonely he is, offers him to join her minions, and begins uncharacteristically treating him as a close friend. And even makes him her lead commander.

Chapter one:

Our story begins at the set of 'canterlot wedding'.

Inside the castle, the Changelings have imprisoned Celestia in a lime green goo cocoon. Princess Cadance has been glued to the floor with the same substance.

At the same time, the main six had ventured off to find the elements of harmony, but unknown to everyone else they were outnumbered and captured.

Cadence soon began saying "You won't get away with this! Twilight and her friends wi-

But at that direct moment. The main six had Changeling soilders bring them back into the castle, defeated.

"You were saying" Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, said mockingly.

Chrysalis walked over to Twilight, reminding everyone, of how the purple unicorn was suspicious of 'fake Cadence' from moment one, but nobody took her seriously enough.

AppleJack was the first to apologize for never having lessoned to her friend.

"Not your fault. She fooled us ALL!" Twilight replied.

"Hmm.. I did. Didn't I" Chrysalis said smirking.

"But either way. Canterlot shall soon be mine! What a treat that'll be" the large bug containued.

"TREAT!" All the other Changeling soldiers began screaming out, liturary going wild, as they began literary jumping all over the place.

Chrysalis eventually managed to calm them all down, and than she proceeded to a near window, watching her minions carze harvic throughout Canterlot, and this soon made her begin singing.

This day has been just perfect. The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small. Every pony I'll soon control. Every stallion, mare, and foal. Who says a girl can't really have it allllll! [evil laugh]

Unknown to the still distracted Chrysalis. Twilight ran upto Cadence.

"Hurry. Go to him while you still got the chance" Twilight said quitely, and used her magic to remove the goop like stuff, freeing her.

Cadence ran over to the still brainwashed Shining Armor.

In a teary embrace, Cadance breaks his trance with her spell of love. After having his love being fed off of for so long.

"W What happened?" Shining armor asked, dizzily.

"Hawhaw! Your just in time to see me and my minions control Canterlot!" Chrysalis said evilly.

"No!" Shining armor cried realizing what was happening, plus that he was still to weak to stop it.

"My love would give you strangth" Cadence annanced romantically.

"What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment" Chrysalis mocked.

Cadence and Shining Armor ignore her and the two connect horns, creating a powerful, bright pink, purple and white whirlwind of magic that lifts the couple into the air and shakes the whole room. All this time, the couple's eyes had been closed; when they look into each other's eyes, their bodies glow with bright white light and the ball of light explodes in a heart shape. The dazzled ponies shade their eyes from the blinding light, while Chrysalis and the Changelings are thrown out of Canterlot for good. Cadance and Shining Armour gently land on the floor as Twilight runs to check on the grateful Princess Celestia who is free from the cocoon and has gradually recovered. From there, the preparations for the real wedding commence with eagerness and joy. The 'true' bride appreciates the efforts of all the ponies, and montages of her and the main six highlight her good will.

MEANWHILE!

When Chrysalis woke up from being knocked out from crashing where she landed.

She suddenly realized she was in a mist covered swamp like area, surrounded by Timberwolves, but none of them payed any attention to her, nor her them.

"God, I can't believe I was defeated" Chrysalis groaned out loud.

"Who's there!" said a sudden, fairly deep voice, witch frightened the Queen as it was rather sudden and unnerving.

Chrysalis turned backwards to the direction the sudden voice came from, and saw a spooky, shadowy figure staring at her with glowing greens eyes, like you would see for. Big white dog, in the pitch black dark. the rest of the figure was hidden in the mist.

"Umm.. I'm Chrysalis. Queen of the Changelings" Chrysalis said, uncharacteristically nervous.

"Queen of Changelings huh?" The figure replied.

Chrysalis nodded.

"Interesting.. I heard of you" The figure said, still not revealed fully.

"Thank you. I guess. But who are you!?" Chrysalis asked, still a bit nervous.

"Just call me Ditto" the voice replied.

"Well than.. Call me Chrysalis" The Queen replied, no longer nervous.

From this point, Ditto stepped out of the shadows, finally revealing himself.

"Are.. Are you a Changeling too?" Chrysalis asked, seeing that Ditto looked fairly similar her and her minions, only he was about the size of princess Luna, and was actually fairly muscular.

"No I'm afraid I'm not.. Just a black alicorn" Ditto groaned.

"What are you doing in this swamp?" Chrysalis asked.

"I like being alone.. Ever since my family died. I've been depressed and lost of my faith towards love" Ditto said.

"Oh I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel any better. I never knew MY family either" Chrysalis replied.

"Really?" Ditto asked in serprise.

Chrysalis simply nodded.

"I think I may understand your pain. I lost many people I cared for" Chrysalis said sadly.

"Hmm.. Maybe you do" Ditto said back.

"In fact. How would you feel about joining us?" Chrysalis offered.

"Really?.. Just like that?" Ditto asked in serprise.

"Yes.. We could use someone like you. And besides. You could use a friend. I don't have too many myself" Chrysalis said warmly.

"Wow.. If you insist" Ditto said, unsure how else to reply.

"Good" Chrysalis grinned.

MANY YEARS LATER!

At this point, Twilight Sparkle being a princess now, had to move back to canterlot. But still visits her friends whenever its possible. This being one of the times, as she's seen having a picnic with the bunch of them, in the middle of big green grass field.

"Man Twiliy.. I still can't get to use to this" Pinkie said, admiring Twilight's new wings, by holding one of them in her cute little pink hooves.

"I know.. I'm a princess now! ME!" twilight said, shocked at the thought of even saying it about herself.

"Hows that going for you darling?" Rarity asked, quite anxious for the answer.

"You really want to know?" the beauitful alicorn chuckled.

"YES!" the others excitedly cried out at the same time, barely controlling themselves.

"Okay, okay" Twilight said, cutely giggling again.

"Well.. Tell us! Tell us!" Pinkie cried, hoping up and down excitedly.

"Well. What's there to tell. Not much is going on that's all the exciting, though I DO get to hang out with Celestia and Luna more. And even my brother" Twilight replied, grinning.

"That must be so awesome!" Rainbow cried happily.

"It is" Twilight grinned.

"He ever tell you about his Captain duties? Anything interesting happening?" Rarity asked excitedly.

"Well.. Since you ask. There's actually been a bit of a issue. One of the soldiers, Ganger, has been reported missing or possibly even kidnapped" Twilight replied.

"OH MY GOD!" The other five cried in shock.

"Did they find him!? Is he okay!?" Rarity cried.

"We have no idea. I'm afried" Twilight said sadly.

"Where do y'all suppose he is?" AppleJack asked.

"Again. no idea" Twilight admitted.

FLASHBACK TO SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE:

Ganger, the said missing Pegasus, awoke inside a spooky cage like area.

"Well well. Finally awake" said a sudden and somewhat deep voice.

Ganger looked up as he was laying down, but the room was pitch black and all he sawglowing the figures, glowing eyes.

"Who are you!?" Ganger asked.

"It dosen't matter who I am. What matters is that nobody can find you, my friend" the voice said, evily.

"WHEN I GET OF THIS YOUR GOI-

"Afraid your not going anywhere darling" said a newer voice, female this time, and the shadowy figure seemed the size of Celestia, maybe even bigger. And like the other figure, her green eyes glowed in the dark, spookily.

"One of you show yourselves!" Ganger demanded.

"Won't save you, but fine" said the female voice, and stepped abit closer, although the room was still dark, she was abit easier to identify.

"YOU!" Ganger cried, realizing it was Chrysalis, queen of the changelings, and remembered her from the events of 'conterlot wedding'.

"Glad to be remembered" Chrysalis grinned sadistically.

"release me!" Ganger cried.

"Noo! Not yet" Chrysalis said, grinning.

"Not yet?" Ganger said confused.

"First things first. *green power starts coming from her large horn* Welcome to the hord!" Chrysalis cried, and than the green power shot directly at him, and everything went black.

PRESENT TIME:

"I just hope nothing bad happened" Twilight said to herself.

"Dose this happen often?" Pinkie asked.

"Not until lately. But yes" Twilight replied.

"I hope it gets better soon" Rainbow Dash said.

"You and me both Dashie.. You and me both" Twilight said to the pretty yet colourful, Pegasus.

Awkward silence.

"Anyway.. Getting abit late, better get back" Pinkie said, noticing that the sun was disappearing under distant mountains.

"Alright. I'll help pack up" Twilight insisted.

"No way... Princess" Rarity chuckled.

Twilight giggled as well.

"Still ain't use to that" the purple mare admitted.

Chapter 2:

THE FOLLOWING DAY!

"Aaawwww! Twiliy, do you really have to go!?" Pinkie said disappointedly.

"I'm sorry sweetie. But you and I both know I was only able to stay here for a week. And that week is over hun" Twilight answered.

"Awwww" Pinkie groaned sadly.

"I'll be back again Pinkie.. Or you could visit me, if you feel the need. Not that long of a train ride, and you girls are always welcome" Twilight told her pinkie friend.

"I'm still going to miss you anyway Twiliy" Pinkie replied, giggling cutely.

"Well I'm sorry Pinkie. Can't help you I guess" Twilight admitted.

Pinkie didn't answer, witch made things a little awkward.

"Well.. I really do have to go now" Twilight said, getting her dark lavender wings ready to begin flying.

"Wait.. Don't I get a hug?" Pinkie giggled, positioning herself for a hug.

"I thought I already gave you one?" The lavender alicorn replied chuckling.

"Ya, well.. You could never have enough" the cute little party pony replied, also chuckling.

"Fair enough" Twilight chuckled, and the two wrapped into a friendly hug, and when that was over, Twilight began on her way. Flying to Canterlot with her dark lavender wings flapping freely.

Pinkie was still about sad about Twilight having to leave, but than cheered herself up by remembering she still had the other four. "In fact.. I'll go see if any of them are free" Pinkie cried, being already back to her happy self, and started her habit of hopping instead of walking/trotting, witch strangely never makes her tired.

LATER!

Unfortantly for young Pinkie Pie. Most of her friends were actually very busy today.

AppleJack was away from ponyville, visiting family.

Fluttershy was busy with her animal friends.

Rarity had a large list of dresses and such, that had to be made.

Last one the pink mare tried for was Rainbow Dash, who was off to practice some air tricks. But was happy to bring her young friend along, for the support.

In fact she she usually just brings Scootaloo, and 'still' is bringing her this time, even with Pinkie also coming.

LATER!

"Alright. This seems as good a spot as any" Rainbow said, as they arrived at the same grassy feilds, as they had the picnic with Twilight and the others, yesterday afternoon.

"Alright girls.. Hold on a moment as I get ready" the Pegasus said, flying up high in the sky, and into the clouds.

Leaving Pinkie and Scootaloo, alone.

But this caused an awkward silence at first.

"So... Uuhhh... How's school?" Pinkie asked, feeling abit awkwardly still.

"It's fine" Scootaloo answered awkwardly.

"Dashie and you still sisters?" Pinkie asked.

Scootaloo nodded happily.

"Well.. It's cute either way" Pinkie grinned.

Scootaloo blushed cutely.

"Alright! I think I'm ready!" Rainbow called out, hidden in the clouds.

"Okie Dokie!" Pinkie called out excitedly.

Rainbow soon began a series of impressive air tricks, much to the joy of her friends witnessing it all.

Partically Scootaloo, who was so excited, she was acting as if she was high on suger.

After a long while, Rainbow Dash finally gave it a rest and landed back on the ground, only to be nearly knocked over by a sqeeze hug by Scoots.

"OhmygoseohmygoseohmygoseohmyGOSE!" Scootaloo cried, referring to how Dash says it.

"Hawhaw! How adorable, a little me" Rainbow said with a cute chuckle.

"Oh Dashie! That was awesome!.. *suddenly starts sobbing* So awesome!"

"Okay.. Seriously kiddo. Your starting to creep me out" Dash said admittedly to the orange little foal, who randomly started crying while still hugging the cyan coated Pegasus.

"Maybe it's her 'time of the month" Pinkie chuckled.

"Not funny Pinkie" Rainbow groaned.

"Oh come on, sure it was" Pinkie insisted.

"I'm done... Sorry about that. Something came over me" Scootaloo said, getting off the colourful Pegasus.

"Anything bothering you sweetie?" Rainbow asked, concernedly.

"No.. I guess it was just a 'moment' I had" Scootaloo admitted.

"You sure?" Pinkie asked.

Scoot nodded.

"Anyway.. Better go. Should probably see the other crusaders, at this point" Scootaloo said, trotting off happily.

"Good seeing you kiddo.. Love ya" Rainbow said to her.

"Love ya too Dashie!" Scootaloo called back, from off view, and than, was already gone.

"Anyway.. You up for some pranking Pinkie?" Rainbow asked.

"Always!" Pinkie cried excitedly.

ELSE WHERE!

Twilight finally arrived back at canterlot were she was greeted by Shining Armor and Cadence.

"Hey Twiliy. Had fun seeing your friends again?" Shining armor asked happily.

"I always do" Twilight chuckled.

"Well, that's good sis." Cadence grinned.

"Anything happen around here? Any more disappearances?" Twilight asked.

"fortunately not.. But we always need to keep an eye out" Shining Armor replied.

"Well I hope we find who's responsible" Twilight said back.

"We all do" Cadence said, and Shining Armor nodded agreeingly.

"Anyway. I should check if Celestia would need anything" Twilight said.

"Okay. See you later sweetie" Cadence said with a grin.

MEANWHILE!

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes.. I think it's about time I took my revenge on Equestria.. And with you as my new personal partner. We might have that much more of a chance" Chryaslis replied.

"I don't know about that" Ditto said admittedly.

"Trust me my dear, we will" Chrysalis said, grinning abit.

"But why are we too attack Ponyville?" Ditto asked.

"Cause I know it'll make her come.. They're are people there she cares for, like second family" Chrysalis replied.

"But are you sure we need this particular one? Don't they have four?" Ditto asked.

"Witch is why we need to strike them, one by one.. This one might be the easiest to start with, she's new to it all.. And besides. I have a score to settle with this one" Chrysalis replied.

"Well.. If you say so" Ditto shrugged.

"Great.. Gather our minions. We strike tomorrow" Chrysalis said evil.

AFTERNOON OF THE FOLLOWING DAY:

The pony gang still gathered their group together, even though they would never feel complete without Twilight anymore, they still hung together like they use too, before their friend became an alicorn.

However, eventually things took a turn to the worse.

Suddenly the town started getting attacked.

"Are those Changelings!?" Rarity cried.

"I think it is... But what them ugly bugs doing round here!?" Applejack cried.

"So glad you asked" Said a sudden voice.

The five mares looked up and saw Queen Chrysalis hovering over them, grining evilly. And beside her, a black, tough looking, alicorn, with the same form of green eyes as hers only less shiny and abit more cold looking. He also seemed fairly strong, and his size is was the same as Luna and Cadence.

"Meet Ditto" Chrysalis evilly grinned, noticing that the five mares had taken quite abit of notice to him.

The five mares were too nervous to respond.

"Anyway.. On to business.. Would one of you kindly tell me were your NEW princess can be found?" Chrysalis asked, grinning evilly.

"Noo! Never!" The five mares cried, knowing that the said princess was their dear friend Twilight, and knew they would mean her harm or maybe worse.

"They're not going to crack.. Let's beat it out of them!" Ditto cried sadistically.

"Easy their muscles. No need to hit women" Chrysalis replied, holding him back abit.

"Besides, no doubt word of our presence would reach her by now."

Sure enough. Chrysalis was right, a fellow guard who was coming back from ponyville for an unknown reason, was racing off to inform the princess's.

Twilight herself along with Spike, who still he still loves as not only a close friend, but a parent figure due to practically raised him herself, we're both watching Shining Armor due some of his captain duties.

"You all did good today" Shining Armor said kindly to his fellow units.

"I'll say!" Spike cried happily.

Twilight giggled cutely.

"Well kno-"

Before Shining Armor finished, suddenly the Guard from before flew over.

"Sir. *heavy breath* Prin- *heavy breath* cess. I *heavy breath*. I *heavy breath*"

"Easy dearie.. Catch your breath" Twilight said softly.

"Yes ma'am" The guard said, stopping to catch his breath before trying to speak again.

The others waited patiently for what he was so anxious to tell them.

"Ponyville is attacked!"

"WHAT!" Twilight screamed frightenedly.

"Calm down their Twiliy.. We will think of something, but no ye-" Before Shining Armor finished he saw that the spot Twilight use to be, was suddenly a empty space.

"Twiliy?"

Spike shrugged unsurely.

LATER!

Back in Ponyville.

Although the rest of the gang were tied up at this point, they were still refusing to rat out their dear friend, Twilight.

"Chrysalis! Their still not cracking yet! Can I just beat it out of them already!?" Ditto cried.

"Haha.. Why bother. Let's just TURN them!" Chrysalis said grinning evilly.

"TURN US!?" Rainbow Dash cried.

"Ya.. Like Ganger" Ditto said also grinning evilly, and pointed to one of the minions.

"Didn't Twilight sa-" Pinkie said, then parsed as she took a second look. "Freaky" Pinkie said shuddering abit.

"And now it's YOUR turn to join the herd my dears" Chrysalis said grinning evilly.

"NOO! I'm too cute to be a bug!" Pinkie cried desperately.

"Hawhaw! That's it my dear.. Beg!. Just makes it more fun for us!" Ditto said sadistically.

"Ooh, you want me to beg? Oh... How should I beg? Should I get down on the ground and cry? I never had to beg for my life before. Want to make sure I'm doing it right" Pinkie said strangely happily.

"Wait, what?" Ditto said confusedly.

"Ignore her Ditto.. She's just trying to get to you, distract you from our transformation spells" Chrysalis said.

"Oh, right" Ditto said, getting his horn to start having a green spell to coming from it, than shot it at the pink mare.

But half way though, suddenly the spell was reflected by ANOTHER spell.

Everyone looked over to a very angry looking Twilight growling at the enamies.

"Why hello there Twilight.. We were just looking for you" Chrysalis said grinning evilly.

"So that's her eh?" Ditto asked.

"Yep" Chrysalis replied.

"Wow.. She's sort of hot actually" Ditto admitted.

"Maybe.. For 'now" Chrysalis said chuckling sadistically.

"DON'T YOU DARE HARM MY FRIENDS! YOU MONSTERS!" Twilight screamed angrily.

"Haha.. Your cute when angry aren't cha" Ditto gave as the only response.

"SHUT UP!" Twilight screamed.

"Save your breath dearie.. Your coming with us" Chrysalis cried.

"I think not!" The young purple alicorn cried, standing her ground.

"This isn't a CHOICE!" Chrysalis cried.

Twilight, knowing she had to defend herself, cast a magic spell at Chrysalis, witch knocked onto her feet as if punched or something.

Seeing his friend get hit like that got Ditto angry enough that he leaped on Twilight like a wild animal, and containued trying to carze harm to the alicorn. Clearly not caring that it's a girl.

Twilight managed to headbutt him, knocking him off her, and the alicorn jumped back onto her feet, still willing to defend herself.

But suddenly a heavy object was knocked against the young mare's head, powerfully enough that the poor thing fell unconscious.

Chrysalis revealed to have been the one that knocked her out, and threw away the heavy object after using it on her soon to be prisioner.

"TWILIGHT!" The other five cried out.

"Quite!" Chrysalis cried at them angrily.

Ditto groaned in pain as he got back up from the ground, holding his forehead after it was head butted by Twilight, joining the conflict between them.

"Well.. I guess we got her" Ditto said.

"Yes. Now let's bring her to the nest, and figure out what to do with her" Chrysalis said grinning evilly.

"Agreed" Ditto said also grinning evilly.

Chapter 3:

When Twilight finally gained consciousness she found herself in a unnervingly dark room.

"Goodie, your awake" said a sudden, fairly deep voice. Witch sounded almost familiar to the young mare.

At that point, Twilight saw a shadowy figure within the dark, staring back at her with glowing green eyes.

"What's going on here!?" Twilight cried, becoming more and more uncomfortable by the deep darkness surrounding her.

"Well basically. Your our prisoner" The voice replied, chuckling evilly.

Twilight tired moving, but something was against her, almost feeling like a straight jacket, witch only added to her fear.

"Why can't I move" Twilight cried worriedly..

"Because Chrysalis felt that just a caged room wouldn't be enough for someone like you.. You 'deserved' something more special.. Don't you feel honored, love?" The voice teased the frightened alicorn.

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Twilight yelled at the mysterious figure.

"Now now.. No need for such language.. It's not very lady like, darling" The mysterious voice teased.

Again Twilight tired to squeeze out of thing trapping her, but was glued in place, and she still didn't know why, and it was scaring the poor mare.

"Here hun.. Let me shine some 'light' on the operation" the mystery voice said, and suddenly the lights came on, and showcased the whole room.

Even in the light, much of the room still seemed covered in darkness. And it was still unnerving for poor Twilight.

In the middle of it was a large cage that covers almost the entire room.

But the rest of the room was actually very boring, it was all cement.

But why was Twilight seeing it all, backwards? And on the ceiling?

Like Celestia in 'Canterlot Wedding', Twilight discovered herself inside a lime green goo cacoon, witch was why she was unable to move, but unlike Celestia, Twilight still had her head sticking out.

"What is this!?" Twilight cried.

"Duaa.. Your prison cacoon" Said the mystery voice again.

Twilight looked over, finally revealing it was Ditto, hovering close to her.

"Whatever your up too!.. You and Chrysalis aren't getting away with it! Others will come for me!" Twilight cried.

Ditto laughed. "Oh don't worry about that.. How long do you think we've been doing this"

"What are you talking about!?" Twilight cried frightenedly.

Ditto laughed again.

"Think about it.. All those kidnappings. We're do think we're getting all those recruits" Ditto said sadistically.

"Ne-... YOU MONSTERS!" Twilight cried out.

"Haha. Thank you" Ditto laughed evilly.

THE NEXT MORNING!

AppleJack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash were saying their good byes to the cutie mark Cusiders.

Scootaloo was clinging to her sister figure, who arguably acts as a second mother as well, due to her real one always being away and never getting to see young Scootaloo as much as she use to.

As for the her dad. Well. She never knew him. Her mom raised Scootaloo by herself.

But, like all things, Scootaloo has grown somewhat accustomed to this. Especially with Rainbow Dash always being there to comfort her.

This is one of the most likely reason Scootaloo was clinging onto her like a small monkey, when Rainbow Dash was saying good bye, as she dosen't know how long it'll take to rescue their beloved Twilight. From Chrysalis and her new pal, Ditto.

"Look.. Scoot. You know we're be back" Rainbow Dash said, finally pulling the orange filly off her. As it was actually getting quite awkward.

"But what if one of them ends up being the Slenderpony!" Scootaloo cried.

"Sweetie, for the last time.. He's just a story, not real" Rainbow Dash replied.

"Okay, okay. I guess your right. I'm just the worrying type is all" Scootaloo admitted.

"As I said.. I'll be back. But Twilight needs us wait now. Who knows what their doing to the poor girl" Rainbow said.

"Ya.. Chrysalis is like one of those crazy cat ladies!" Pinkie said, as she was waiting for the others.

"She.. She don't have any no cats" AppleJack pointed out.

"Give her time" Pinkie insisted in response.

LATER!

The five mares were still traveling in the carriage.

"Ohhh.. Are we there yet?" Rarity whined.

"Last thousand times you asked the answer was no. This time. It's actually yes" AppleJack replied.

However when they stepped out, the way to the Changeling's territory was blocked by two guards.

"Crap.. Didn't gather it'll be guarded" Rainbow groaned.

"Don't worry. As it turns most Changelings are actually very 'slow', and could easily be distracted by even the simplest riddle.

"Ya.. So?" Rainbow asked.

"Watch this" Rarity grinned as she approached the guards.

"Stop! No getting through!" the guards cried.

"Very well.. But mind if I ask you, if you could salve something we've been arguing about for the answer?" Rarity asked, obviously lying about that part.

"Whatever ma'am. If it'll make you feel better" one of the changeling guards replied.

"What get's wetter as it drys?" Rarity asked, as it was the only one she was able to think of in the short amount of time.

"What!?" The guards both cried.

"You heard me" Rarity said back.

The guards turned to each other as they tired figuring it out.

"What th- Dosen't that even make since?" cried guard one.

"Seems like it should" said guard two.

"Wetter as it drys? Wetter as it drys?" guard one kept repeating to himself.

"Damn this is hard" guard two groaned.

"Wait! It must be a towel!" guard one cried.

"Ya. Totally a towel" guard two agreed.

Having finally figured it out, the two Changelings turned back to were the five mares were. Only to realize they sneak in while they were figuring out the riddle.

"We are so fired" one of them groaned sadly.

Chapter 4:

The changeling's land, was liturary a huge swamp.

And boy did it fill up on the strong smell of one.

A long with a feeling of uncomfort for many of them, espically Pinkie and, of coarse, Fluttershy.

The five mares followed along the muddy walk way, crossing over the green, smelly, swamp water, filled with various virus's. Even the Changeling's themselves avoid going into it.

"How long do we have to stay in this crap hole?.. When are gonna find they're nest or whatever?" young Rainbow Dash groaned.

"Relax darling, we already made it" Rarity said, pointing her hoof, ahead of her, to a huge hundred foot, nest like building.

"Than lets hurry up and get inside of it!" Rainbow cried anxiously.

MEANWHILE!

"How's my favorite princess doing?" Chrysalis asked teasingly.

"Shut Up! And let me go!" Twilight cried angrily, desperately trying to break free of the cacoon.

"Ohhh.. But I thought we were buddies?" Ditto mocked.

"Go to hell!" Twilight cried angrily at him.

"Again with the language. I thought princess's were better than that" Ditto said, clearly messing with her, due to how sadistic he and Chrysalis are.

"Maybe they made a mistake by putting her as one" Chrysalis mocked, and started laughing to herself.

Twilight did her best to growl at the Queen, like a angry dog.

"Your not very grateful are you.. Ditto and I could of 'turned' your pretty face into another Changeling the very moment you got here. But instead, we've been keeping you we choose to spare you, so try to show some gratitude" Chrysalis said sadistically.

"Gratitude!? When your probably using me as interrogation plans! No thank you" Twilight replied, angrily.

"Your really annoying, aren't cha?" Ditto teased, making Chrysalis laugh.

Twilight looked at Ditto.

"What are you anyway? I mean. Your not a Changeling now that I see you properly?" Twilight asked, nervously.

"Well. If it's that important to you. I'm an alicorn like you.. Your show called princess's never helped when my family, when they were friggin dying. No, no.. The stupid sun and moon were more important, more important. Only I servived. But I refused to care about euther of them anymore. So I left. And now. Chrysalis is my only family.. But what do you care, what dose any pony care" Ditto told her, both sadly and angrily.

Young Twilight was reasonably shocked by this infomation.

"M Maybe they didn't even know" Twilight insisted.

"Oh, they knew alright" Ditto growled, at nothing particular.

Suddenly the 'turned' Ganger, flew into the room.

"Queen, Commander, I think we spotted some intruders sneaking into the nest!" Ganger cried.

"Well. What are you waiting for kid. Go find them, and if neasseary 'turn them" Ditto ordered.

"TURN THEM!?" Ganger cried.

"Is that a problem?" Chrysalis asked, eyeing him.

"N No, ma'am" Ganger said nervously, though obviously it was to him, providing he's not as cruel as them.

"Well then. Hop on to it kid! Double time!" Ditto ordered.

"Bu-

"NOW!" Ditto cried angrily.

"Y Yes sir!" Ganger cried frightenedly, then flew off to do as ordered.

Rainbow Dash and them had successfully sneak into the nest.

But the area was surrounded by hundreds of Chrysalis's and Ditto's minions.

"Christ.. How are we suppose to get past all of them?" cute little Pinkie Pie groaned.

"Hopefully. Their as dumb as those guards" Rainbow Dash insisted.

"How are we too be sure of that?" Pinkie groaned.

"Hey look! I finally found what get wetter as it dries!" Cried one of the changelings, who is notified as the only one with blue eyes, instead of green ones, and he was holding a towel he found laying around.

This caused all the other soldiers to prove very impressed by this statement.

"Dose that answer your question?" Rainbow chuckled.

"Hey.. What are you all doing? Get back to work!" Ganger cried, as he flew into the room.

"Grimy found something interesting" Said one of the soldiers, revealing the name of the blue eyed Changeling.

"You know what you should be finding... Those damn intruders!" Ganger cried, annoyedly.

"What intruders?" Grimy asked.

"Seriously?... We'be just been over this five minutes ago!" Ganger cried even MORE annoyedly.

"Your not making any sense at all, boss" Grimy said stupidly.

"For god sak- Just go patrol the other room, that's an order!" Ganger cried.

"Eye, Sgt" Grimy said with a sulute, than flew off, taking quite a few men with him.

"The rest of you stay here" Ganger ordered.

They all proceed to do so.

"Quickly now.. We might be able to sneak past them if we're quite enough" Rarity whispered.

The other four all nodded silently, and started sneaking past the Changelings as quitely as possible, and keeping too the shadows.

The room wasn't overly impressive now that they had a close look at it. It had an high high ceiling, but thankfully none of them had 'altocelarophobia', other wise this would be quite an issue.

But at even at such a huge hight, there was hardly anything inside the particlar room, except Changelings, but it still had that swampy smell for whatever reason.

The room also had little to no window's, giving that "No sunlight, no hope" feeling, but the five mares didn't have time to worry about any of that.

The five mares were doing good so far, when suddenly a Changeling jumped out in front of Rainbow Dash, who was ahead, and tried grabbing her.

Rainbow Dash head butted the Changeling making it fall on the ground.

"Get outta my face! You ugly bug!" Rainbow said angrily.

"Well well. I guess we finally found the intruders" Ganger said from off view.

The five mares turned around to find Ganger and all the other Changeling's looking down at them, Ganger shown with a evil smirk on his face.

Rainbow Dash angrily flew up to him, demanding to know we're her beloved friend is.

"I ain't saying nothing" Ganger said sternly.

"Well. Than.. I guess you will finally have a woman touch you in the 'special area" Rainbow replied.

"What are you talking abo-

Before the sentence was finished Rainbow suddenly, and aggressively, kicked him straight in the area between his back hooves.

"Shit, lady!" Ganger cried angrily, as he groaned in pain.

"You want more!? Take me too my friend!" Rainbow demanded.

"You little bi- Your pay for that!" Ganger cried, firing the 'turn' spell at Rainbow, who quickly dodged the spells being fired at her.

Unfortantly, two minions soon grabbed her, and held her still, as Ganger prepared the spell again, "Hahaha.. I gotcha now my dear" Ganger laughed evilly.

"Quick! AppleJack! Anything you could use as a rope! Cause we gotta save our Rainbow Dash before she becomes one of them!" Rarity cried.

Thankfully AppleJack DID find something that could be used as a rope, and quickly used it to grab Ganger from the air, and he landed painfully on the ground, we're AppleJack hog tied him.

"That's what they y'all teach ya at the Apple family" AppleJack said proudly.

For whatever reason, instead of trying to save Ganger, all the other Changelings fled away in panic, releasing Rainbow in the process, who flew down to her friends.

"I guess I owe you one" Rainbow said to AppleJack, with a cute chuckle.

"And don't you forget that" AppleJack said playfully.

"Now.. I ask again, where's Twilight?" Rainbow demanded.

Ganger refused to respond.

"Well than" AppleJack said, intensely tightening the ropes grib witch grew more and more painful to Ganger.

"Okay.. Okay.. I'll tell you, she's up on the top floor with Ditto and Chrysalis" Ganger finally told them.

"And were's that?" Rainbow demanded.

"Keep going straight till you find the stairs" Ganger replied.

"Great.. Let go" Rarity said.

"Wait.. Let me go now" Ganger cried.

"No.. Have the others let you go" Rainbow said back.

"Ohh come on.. You really think they ever will" Ganger groaned.

"Not our problem" Rainbow groaned back, and the five mares left.

"God.. Damn it" Ganger groaned, trying to find something sharp enough to cut the ropes.

Chapter 5:

The five girls eventually reached a second room. Reaching a dark, hallway like area, had no windows, except one, sitting alone near the middle of the room.

"Boy, Changeling's don't have much since of hope do they" Rarity commented.

"Dosen't matter, let's just keep going" Rainbow said racing ahead, she was quickly reaching the middle, cause the window was getting closer.

But once she passed the window, she suddenly crashed into someone.

But at that point the others cart up with her.

Rainbow Dash quickly saw that she crashed into Grimy, the Changeling from earlier.

"Back off!" Rainbow cried, preparing for a fight if needed to come to that.

But Grimy just contained looking at her.

"What!?" Rainbow cried, getting uncomfortable.

"Wow.. You are. Hot!" Grimy openly admitted.

Rainbow couldn't stop herself from cutely blushing, but kept trying to nervously hide it.

Rarity chuckled as she noticed this.

"Could I pet you?" Grimy asked awkwardly, and lifting one of his front hooves.

"I'd rather you didn't" Rainbow admitted, stepping back abit.

"Awww" Grimy groaned disappointedly.

"And anyway.. I'm sorry, but.. How do I say this.. I'm not really into. Bugs.. Sorry" Rainbow said, careful not to hurt his feelings, enemy or not.

"Bugs? What are yo- *see's his reflection into the window* Oh my god I'm a bug!" Grimy cried in shock, witch either means. He was one of the kidnapped ponies that was forcibly turned, but never knew he became a changeling, or, was always a changeling, but is just that much of an idiot.

"Don't look at me! I'm a bug!" Grimy cried, starting to run off, but accidentally crashed hard against the wall, and fell to ground with a thump.

"Oh my goodness, hs he alright!?" Fluttershy cried worriedly.

"He'll be fine" Rainbow insisted, after hearing Grimy groan in pain.

"Now come on, Twilight still needs us!" Rarity cried.

"Right!" the others all agreed and continued on their quest to save their beloved friend from this dreadful place.

The five mares finally approached where poor Twilight was being held.

but when they reached the door, it ended up being a trap, and they fell down a hole, and landed in the very cage area, we're Ganger, and possibly others, we're 'turned'.

"Well well, nice of you to 'drop' in" Chrysalis mocked.

Rainbow and AppleJack both growled at her, like angry dogs almost.

"Haha, good seeing you two ladies" Chrysalis mocked.

"Let us outta of her!" Rainbow ordered.

"Haha. Ditto's right, you ponies are cute when angry. But it's not gonna save you" Chrysalis replied.

"Somepony say my name?" Ditto asked, coming into view.

"Oh Ditto. Check it out, they're back" Chrysalis said with a smirk, as she pointed to the five mares.

"Huh. So they did tempt a rescue.. Guess I owe you five bucks" Ditto replied.

"We'll handle that later" Chrysalis insisted.

"Let us out of here, you jerks!" Rainbow cried angrily, shaking the bars violently.

"Oh, and why would we do that?" Ditto asked with a chuckle.

Rainbow Dash stopped for a moment, he got her there, and she knew it.

"Besides.. We let you go, and you're miss the show" Ditto said with a smirk.

"What?" All five ponies cried in worry.

"Ya.. We waited long enough, it's time for the fun to begin" Ditto said evilly, and with he that grabbed the cocoon Twilight was trapped inside, and placed it infront of the cage area, so the girls inside would be able to see it.

"W Wait, we never made that agreement.. She's just suppose to be leverage, nothing else" Chrysalis said uncomfortably.

"Well, I'm sorry. But I can't take anymore! It's time that the damn princess's finally suffered" Ditto replied.

"What!?" Twilight cried frighteningly.

"Ya, that's right! Things are gonna be different for now on! No more Celestia! and, no, more, you!" Ditto cried dramatically.

(Red Dead Redemption reference)

"W What are you gonna do, 'turn me'!?" Twilight cried frighteningly.

"Hahaha.. You wish" Ditto laughed.

"Than what the hell are you gonna do!?" cried the frightened alicorn mare.

"Your about the find out" Ditto replied, as he prepared a bizarre looking spell from his horn, and fired it at her.

Ditto fired the bizarre looking spell at poor frightened Twilight.

Suddenly the spell was the reflected by anouther one.

"What the hell!?" Ditto thought outloud.

Chrysalis soon revealed to have been the one who reflected his spell.

"What are yo-

"For god sakes Ditto! We had a deal! She was to be leverage only!" Chrysalis cried angrily.

Ditto didn't respond.

"Don't forget who's in charge here. Me!" Chrysalis cried angrily.

"I'm sorry.. But I couldn't take it anymore, I need to take my revenge!.. And this was how it'll begin" Ditto cried.

"Well.. That may be so, but it's violating an direct order!.. And it won't be tolerated!" Chrysalis cried angrily.

Ditto didn't respond.

"I would of let this slip, but you've carzed trouble so many times before.. I won't be seen as a good leader if I don't do something about this" Chrysalis said sadly.

"So what.. Your gonna fire me?" Ditto groaned.

"I see no other choice Ditto" Chrysalis said sadly but sternly.

Serprisingly, no fight broke out, and Ditto silently left. For a while things were silent, but than Chrysalis remembered about Twilight and them, and sighed.

"I.. I can't believe I'm doing this. But to be honest, I don't even think I remember what the damn plan even was.. So I'll let you go. But only cause I'm too upset right now." Chrysalis told them, partially Twilight.

"R.. Really, your letting us go?" Twilight asked serprisedly.

Chrysalis nodded, and used a spell to make the cocoon holding the alicorn disppear, freeing the young mare.

"Just this once Sparkle" Chryslis sternly said, referencing Hunger games, which probably exists in this universe.

Twilight used her magic to release the other five, so they all could find a way out.

"Now git! All of ya!.. Before I change my mind!" Chrysalis ordered.

The six ponies didn't need to be told twice, they raced out, quickly finding a door.

You probably wanted a big fight between them, but Chrysalis ended up being somewhat sympathic in this story.. Least for her brief role..
