Jabberwock: Changeling of Mythicality

"I was right I don't like this," Jabber said, as he entered the train and saw 5 other mares. He knew who these were based on what twilight told him, but he sure wasn't happy about it. Before he could say anything, he saw a dash of blue and rainbow and then a face in front of his.

"What are you doing here, huh? Trying to escape, eh?" The cyan pony smirked, punching her fist. Jabber swear a bead of sweat came down the back of his neck.

"If I was, why would I go to a train? That's just glue-huffer logic," Jabber reasoned, as cyan squinted at him. An orange pony walked near the two.

"Easy Dash, remember what Twilight sent us?" The orange pony asked, as 'dash' raised an eyebrow towards her. Orange sighed and said, "Quotin her, 'Ah'm sendin you this to tell you girls about that a changeling might be sent to ya'll. This changelin' is a good one, so be somewhat nice to em'' and this isn't exactly bein' nice Rainbow."

"Thank you Twilight, and yes, I am that changeling. And believe it or not, I'm not here to take over canterlot. I'm bucking terrified of literally everyone in there, except for Luna," Jabber explained his presence, and a marshmellow coated pony walked towards them.

"If so darling, why are you here then?" Marshmellow asked.

"Well, first off I don't think we know each other well enough for either of us to call each other darling, Ms. Marshmellow," Jabber stayed with one emotion through the whole thing, with Rainbow started laughing herself off, and Rarity started sputtering as she blushed, "And secondly, I was told to give you girls this. Apparently it's Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's plan for me." Cyan snatched the scroll, still laughing and with tears in her eyes.

"Well, I nev-" Marshmellow started, before Cyan cut her off.

"Calm down marshmellow, we got important stuff to read," Cyan began laughing again, throwing the scroll into the air, which was then caught by Orange as cyan kept rolling on the floor, laughing.

"Wowie! I've never seen dashie that happy since when gilda got pranked in Ponyville!" Pinks said, hopping over the, 'Dashie.'

"Oh, she was very scary. She got angry easily," Yellow Pink said, still in the corner. Orange opened the Scroll.

"Rarity, could you read this? I don't understan' all these fancy words," Orange asked Marshmellow, coming back to her senses.

"Oh, um, yes of course darling," 'Rarity' said, taking the scroll and opening it with her magic. She cleared her throat before starting.

"Dear Elements of Harmony,

While I'm sure one or more of you might object to this, I Believe that many of you and the citizens of ponyville could gain something from this idea of mine.

Meet Sir Jabberwock, a changeling that was locked and experimented on for almost 18 years. He's the son of Queen chrysalis, however he loathes her, and rightfully so, as she was the reason he was locked in the first place. I wish for you all to treat him with respect and empathize with him, as he has no knowledge on how to socialize or on friendship. As so, I wish for him to join you all, as I believe he could be an incredible asset in the form of a changeling being accepted into Ponyville and Equestria Society. Below is everything that might be helpful in teaching and showing him.

Sincerely, Princess Luna."

"Wait...so this guy is a PRINCE!?" Pinks beamed as she zipped over the Jabber, who crouched, leaving her to smack into the train wall.

"uh...woops?" Jabber shrugged.

"Don't be, she'll be fine," Rainbow said, lifting Pinks to a chair. "So, your a prince, eh?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Don't mention it though, I hate the title," Jabber said, dismissing the title.

"Oh Dear, you don't need to be humble. A Title is a Title, no matter what the creature say-" Rarity started.

"No, I mean I literally hate the title. It reminds me of who I actually am. I don't care about being humble, I just genuinely hate my title," Jabber completed.

"Ehm, may I ask pardner? I mean, I'm no royalty, but if I was, I'd absolutely tell everyone I can about it," Orange asked, confused.

"Because I hate where the title comes from. Remember what the scroll said, I'm a Prince, but a Prince of changelings. And not just that, but also the son of Queen Chrysalis, aka, the most hated changeling to ever exist. You think I'd want to be related to her? No way in the seven circles of Hades and Tartarus. Heck, no way in the ring below them both. I'd rather Apollyon take my soul than be the son of the most hated royalty, yet, here we are," Jabber complained, finally sitting down on the train to Ponyville, as the train started.

"Dang dude. That just bites," Rainbow sympathized, as Jabber nodded.

"You think that's bad? I can't even do anything that regular changelings do. I can't change how I look, I can do anything stealth-fully, and my wings are heavy and durable," Jabber said, extending his wings, at which Rainbow Beamed.

"YOOO! Those wings look bucking sick!" Rainbow Dash gleamed, looking at the disconnected wing structure.

"I assume your rainbow dash? Twilight said you'd like the look of them," Jabber smirked, extending his wings a bit more, allowing a larger view of them. Rainbow beamed at the sight, with rarity taking interest as well, prodding certain parts of the stone like wings.

"This isn't uncomfortable, right dear?" Rarity asked, a bit worried.

"Nope. I can't actually feel my wings, so, yeah. You could literally mine it with a pickaxe, and I bet I wouldn't even notice," Jabber smiled, attracting the attention of the other 3.

"Really pardner? I got an ax at the farm if you wanna try," Orange raised an eyebrow as jabber felt a bead of sweat on his forehead.

"N-No, I'm good. I was just saying, since they're basically rock, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't, but I still need my wings. Just because you couldn't feel your leg, doesn't mean you don't want it," Jabber said nervously, as Orange chuckled.

"I'm just messin' with ya. Besides, I'd think that Pinkie would be a better choice for breakin' any kinda' rock, or rares," AJ smiled, pointing to the other 2 mentioned.

"Oh, please, like I could break that rock. That's harder than Diamond!" Pinkie exclaimed, grabbing the attention of everyone.

"What? Whatcha mean?" AJ asked.

"Hello! That's Hexagonal boron-nitride! According to science, that stuff is, like, 18% harder than diamond. Plus, by the looks of it, it's been enchanted to where it can't even have any weak areas, so You'd need, like, an actual drill made of the stuff to cut that thing," Pinkie examined the wings, shocking everyone in the room.

"Dang, she knows rocks," Jabber said as Pinkie nodded.

"More minerals really, but I do indeed know rocks! Raised on a rock farm!" Pinkie exclaimed as rarity sputtered.

"WHAT? But I thought that Diamond was the hardest thing on equis!" Rarity exclaimed, surprised at the revelation.

"It is!" Pinkie said, confusing everyone.

"But, you just said that the Hexagonal Boron-nitroid or whatever was harder?" Rainbow asked.

"It is!" Pinkie said, going deeper down the rabbit hole.

"Than why did you say that diamond was the hardest thing, when whatever the other thing was it harder!?" Rainbow shouted, getting fed up.

"I didn't say that, I said Diamond was the hardest thing on Equis, and Hexagonal Boron-Nitride is harder!" Pinkie kept on confusing everyone.

"NO YOU DIDN'T!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Wait...She said hardest thing on equis, yet this is apparently harder. Are you saying this Hexagonal Boron-Nitride is not from Equis?" Rarity asked.

"I did say that, didn't I?" Pinkie asked, a bit confused herself now, as Rainbow groaned. "Yeah, it was discovered in a meteorite! It's extremely rare, and very valuable."

"If so, then why does Jabber over 'ere have it as his wings!" AJ questioned, looking a Jabber suspiciously.

"Hey, beats me. I wasn't even conscious when I got these," Jabber exclaimed his innocence.

"huh? What do you mean why that darling?" Rarity asked as Jabber sighed.

"Sit down. This is gonna be a story you won't forget," Jabber said, as everyone sits down, and he explained his past. Elsewhere, a fly watches intently.

"Princess, with all due respect, are you sure this is the best method for Jab- er, Sir Jabberwock?" Gleaming Shield asked the glowing rainbow Princess.

"I understand your fears Gleaming, but you must understand, he is a tortured soul. He doesn't wish for anyone to feel his pain. I highly doubt he would turn on us, even if we masqueraded as changelings," Celestia shared her opinions.

"So you say, but is ponyville the best option for his...living area?" Gleaming asked again.

"Gleam, it worked for me, so I bet that it would work for Sir Jabberwock. I was so antisocial, and yet about, like, a day in ponyville changed my entire worldview," Twilight recalled.

"Sure, but you had a worldview. Sir Jabberwock hasn't even experienced anything outside his cell and his luxury room. Sure, he's seen it, but I...I'm just nervous," Gleaming admitted.

"Does doth doubt our judgement? We thought heavily on this, so I believe that it was the right decision," Princess Luna said, appearing from the opposite doors.

"No! Not at all Princess Luna, It's...It's just my expierence with changelings leaves me kinda...just scared of them in general," Gleaming admitted, yet again.

"Gleam, we'll be fine. Jabber is a nice changeling, and besides, I think he's scared of you anyway," Cadence smiled, as Gleaming Shield looked out the window.

"I just...I'm just not sure."

"LAST STOP TO PONYVILLE! NEXT STOP APPLELOOSA!" The confuctor shouted through the PDA.

"Dang dude. That is one story that you cannot make up," Rainbow Dash recoiled at Jabber's story.

"Indeed. I'm glad Luna found you when she did. Who knows what else those ruffians would've done to you," Rarity continued, as they walked off the train.

"Ruffians are a massive understatement, but I'm glad as well," Jabber said, as the rest walked off the train. Jabber looked around, seeing all the prying eyes, either of terror, anger, or indifference. He breathed a bit harder, but continued on.

"HEY!" Jabber flinched as he heard Rainbow shout behind him. "Leave the changeling alone! He's allowed to be here, based off of Princess Luna and Celestia!" This shut down a few of the eyes, most of which let out a sigh of relief. Jabber knew there would be many more of these incidents however.

"Rainbow, calm down. They're allowed to look," Applejack said, calming rainbow down a bit.

"Not when they look at him like he's a living diamond that caused a robbery at canterlot!" Rainbow complained.

"It's fine. I doubt a lot of them even know I'm a changeling, based on how different I look compared to what, if any, have seen a changeling," Jabber said, walking towards the center of town with his escorts.

"So...what am I going to be doing here anyway?" Jabber asked his little crew.

"Well, according to the little list Princess Luna left, each one of us, as well as a small amount of ponies in Ponyville, are supposed to do something with Jabber. Would anyone like to go first?" Rarity asked her friends. Pinkie immediately raised her hand and kept shouting "Me! Me! ME!" Rarity smirked, and pointed at Pinkie.

"YES! YES YES YES!" Pinkie shouted, zipping around the small group, hugging rarity and stopping front of jabber, who stepped back.

"Jeez. This is normal, I presume?" Jabber asked.

"Oh please. On a scale of 1-10, this is, like, a 4," Rainbow explained, as jabber felt a bead of sweat come back. "Anyway, what's she supposed to do rares?" Rainbow asked, as rarity showed her the scroll. "Why did I not guess that."

"PLEASE BE A PARTY! PLEASE BE A PARTY!" Pinkie hopped around, awaiting the reveal. The two who knew looked at each other.

"Yes Pinkie...it is a party," Rainbow dash admitted, as Pinkie skyrocketed, almost flying. "Ok, now it's a 5."

"WAIT! What am I doing! I need to get things ready! I can finally throw a changeling party, and no one can accuse me of being a spy! Or, at least not a changeling one. I wonder what the differences between a changeling spy and a pony spy are. I bet there aren't that many, but they are different species! There's gotta be something there!" Pinkie started before gasping. "What am I still doing here! I'll see you in about 30 minutes Jabber, but I gotta get your party ready!" Pinkie said before speeding off somewhere else.

"I...I...and...what?" Jabber stuttered as Rainbow laughed.

"Yep, that's pinkie for you. You'll get used to it overtime, but the first expierences with her are definitely something you'll remember," Rainbow told Jabber, slinging her arm over him. "In the meantime, how about we see how those wings hold up outside of a dinky little cell, eh?"

"I...I think I would like that," Jabber thought before answering, as Rainbow smirked.

"Then lets go! You heard pinkie, she's got about half an hour before everythings set, so let see those wings in the sky!" Rainbow thought out loud, dragging Jabber along with her.

"Woah, ok, just, DON'T PULL SO HARD!" Jabber said, holding onto himself, hoping his wings didn't just fly off by themselves.

"Well, shall we go help Pinkie with the party, if those two are busy?" Rarity asked her other friends, who agreed to the following.

"Is there a reason you brought me all the way up here?" Jabber asked, looking down at the rushing river below.

"Well, if you do fall, you won't hit any solid ground. You could just swim out...you do know how to swim right?" Rainbow asked, a bit of worry in her voice.

"Thankfully yes, but shouldn't we have found a wider river, or just area of water?" Jabber responded, Rainbow sighed in relief.

"The closest body of water that's wider than this is about 7 kilometers south, and the train already left. Unless you wanna walk that far, this is all we got," Rainbow explained, jabber moaning in response.

"Seriously? Just...Whatever. Let's just get going," Jabber said, unfolding his wings. Rainbow looked in awe again, before getting her head back in the game.

"Alright, so you said you could fly with those, right?" Rainbow asked.

"I can fly a few feet off the ground. I've never been more than 15ft up with these things," Jabber explained.

"Well, let's get started then. Show me what you got," Rainbow said, chilling on a cloud she brought down as Jabber's eye twitched. His wings started to make a cracking sound as they moved slowly. In a few seconds they were going the average speed for pegaus wings, and he was lifted about 2 feet off the ground. He moved a little bit out of surprise before stablilizing herself. The wings continued to get faster until he was, as he estimated, 15 feet off the ground.

"That's about all I know. I can stablize and balance easy, but that's all I really know what to do with these," Jabber admitted, as rainbow hopped of her cloud.

"Alright, so, you got the basics to float, and if you are to be believed, you can stablize. That's a really good thing to know. Now, let's get into going higher. I'll be slow cause, obvious rock wings are obvious," Rainbow smiled, as Jabber smirked and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah Yeah. Let's get going," Jabber said, as Rainbow nodded.

Pinkie was all turned over. While her friends helped a lot with Jabber's party, there were a lot of questions needed answered...usually from pinkie.

"...What's his favorite cake, what's his favorite ice cream, what's his favorite game, what's his favorite cheese? Pinkie, I don't think some of these are needed," Applejack said to her friend.

"Whatcha mean?" Pinkie asked, holding onto a wheelbarrow full of one singular list.

"I mean that. I'm pretty sure Jabber don't even know what som' of this stuff even is," Applejack answered. "Considering what he told us, I doubt he was given cake, ice cream, cheese, or really any food he would recognize. I think he'd just be happy with anything."

"I'd think so," They heard a voice behind them, and looked to see the signature Purple Pony Princess.

"TWILIGHT!" Pinkie shoved AJ out of the way to hug her royal friend.

"Oh! eh, hi pinkie!" Twilight said in response.

"Did'ja really have to push me Pinkie?" AJ asked, looking towards the two.

"Sorry AJ, but I was just so happy to see Twilight! She probably knows more about jabber!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"I um, I don't think I know more than you girls, but I can try," Twilight said.

"I sure hope so. This party has got Pinkie Riled up more than...well normal pinkie I guess," AJ tried.

"Well come on! I get to throw my first ever changeling party! How is that not incredible? And it's not just a changeling party, It's a Super Changeling party! That's worth writing on a t-shirt. I can see it now!" Pinkie imagined, shoving her hand into the sky.

"Twilight, Darling, do you think Jabber would like silk? Based on your desciption of his cell, it was luxurious no?" Rarity asked twilight, looking behind her.

"Oh, uh, yes. It definitely had an abundance of silk, but I believe he'd be happy with anything," Twilight answered, rarity nodding before returning to her boutique.

"See! I told you she knew more about jabber than us!" Pinkie smirked at AJ, who rolled her eyes.

"I'm sure he told you girls the same things as me. I just saw his little room. That's really the only difference," Twilight smiled, looking at the pink pony. "Speaking of little, do you guys know where spike is?"

"I think he said, 'I'll be waiting in battle armor at the library for when the changeling comes and tries to attack ponyville,'" Pinkie quoted.

"Ugh, spike. I'll go get him, but where's Jabber?" Twilight asked, and right as Pinkie was about to respond, they heard the voice from above.

"HE'S RIGHT HERE!" They heard the familar voice of Rainbow Dash as she crashed into a hay cart, the contents spilling everywhere.

"By Celestia Rainbow, seriously?" Twilight sneered as Rainbow brushed off the hay on herself as she emerged.

"HEY! It's not my fault! I just got smacked like a pinball!" Rainbow complained as Jabber appeared at the scene, wings cracking and flapping in the wind.

"Hey, you tried to tackle me, and I turned around. I'm just surprised, and very glad, you're fine," Jabber explained as Rainbow scoffed.

"Wait, what happened?" Twilight asked as Jabber turned to her.

"So, Rainbow was teaching me how to fly with these, and I got the hang of it thankfully quickly, and she tried to tackle me for...I don't know, laughs I guess? I turned to confront and stop her, but my wings got in the way of her charge and she got smacked from there to here. Thankfully, the hay cart stopped her fall," Jabber explained as Twilight raised an eyebrow at Rainbow.

"Why did you charge in the first place?" Twilight asked as rainbow blushed.

"Well...I...uh...okay, I saw his front crystal with a hint of cyan and I thought that something was wrong, so I charged at him to bring him down," Rainbow answered as Jabber's eyes went wide.

"Oh...well then, I guess that's fair. I won't hold that against you. I doubt that my blue form can fly as well as I can now, but it's kinda weird. I didn't think that my blue form would just appear like that. That's not how it normally happens," Jabber thought out loud as the others raised an eyebrow in response.

"Whatcha mean Jabby?" Pinkie asked, head tilting.

"Well, remember when I told you guys about my blue form?" Jabber asked as everyone nodded in response. "Well, I left out how I actually turned into that blue form. Basically, whenever I'm in a high stress scenario, like a battle, or falling, or with many creatures, I turn into that blue form. So, because I was probably getting stressed from flying high for the first time, my blue form decided to try and peek out."

"So, if you were, let's say, riding someone into battle," Rainbow proposed.

"Then, unless I have another majin that's specifically for that, and I'm really stressed out, blue's coming out," Jabber said, eyeing his crystal.

"Well then, if we're done here, I gotta start asking some questions to Jabber," Pinkie said unrolling the mile long list, as Jabber watched in horror and rainbow laughed.

"Heh, get ready Sir Jabberwock. You've got some useless questions to answer. I'm gonna check on rarity," Rainbow said, rushing over to the boutique.

"Don't worry Jabber, I'm here," Twilight said, putting her hand on his shoulder and smiling.

"uh...thanks," Jabber said, still looking at the list.

And are you sure of what you heard? The drone heard the Queen's voice in her head.

"Yes my queen. I'd swear on my loyalty to you," The Drone said into her mind.

Hmm...there must still be an enemy hive if he isn't one of us. Are you sure his scent was different?

"Absolutely. It was dank and his emotion was strange tasting, almost of terror, but not quite, unlike us with a vibrant spectrum."

I'll send drones to scope out surrounding territory, as well as send some to you. Once they get there, try to intervene, but for now, keep watching him. He must be hiding something.

"Yes my Queen," She said, flying back to ponyville as a wasp.

Good luck Trachea She heard the Connection cut in her head as she continued.

"What could you be..." She said to herself, looking at the Changeling in question, who seems to be humoring the ponies around him. The drone smirked.

"Looks like you got some nice friends there. Unfortunately, I'm gonna need them."
