...where he is brought before the hooves of Queen Chrysalis. Surprisingly, he is given a offer; join her hive in the conquest of the world, starting with Australia.

An Unlikely Encounter

Somewhere around Amberley, South-East Queensland
Australia

"Delta 255, this is control. Please report position and current status," The controller spoke through the radio of my patrol car.

I picked up my radio, held down the button and said, "Delta 255 is heading West on Ipswich Rosewood Road, currently Code 3,"

Understood,

I was performing daily routine. Patrolling around the area I was assigned, until I get a call-out to an illegal event or something to occur. But my shift was about to end and I was heading in the direction of the police station, ready to head home.

Alright, just hang in there a little longer, and I'll be home before I know it.

And I'm talking to myself again. GREAT.

But as I continued the drive, control came in over the radio again. "Delta 255, this is control. We're getting multiple reports of a missing party situation in your area."

"255, copy. Ready for details," I replied.

"255, be advised, at 1345 hours, a group of tourists was walking in the area you are approaching when they disappeared. A search party was sent for them but they couldn't locate them. 255, you are to go Code 2. Proceed to the area and find the missing tourists."

Well, there goes my early punch out.

"255, acknowledged. Going Code 2," I replied, switching on the lights and sirens of my Nissan Patrol, before hitting the throttle and speeding down the road.

A Code 2 meant that someone was in danger of being seriously hurt and police units responding have to use both lights and sirens. The only thing worse than a Code 2 is a Code 1, where someone's life is in danger.

Within seconds, I managed to reach the location where the backpackers were last sighted. As I expected, there was no sign of them yet. What I didn't expect, was that there was no other police units there. It looked like I was on my own for this. Not the best idea, sending a single-person search party into one of the biggest deserts in the world after a group of backpackers, if I'm honest. But, oh well. I probably was the only unit nearby.

Oh, well. What could I do?

I pulled up to the side of the road, turned off my siren and reported in to control, "Control, this is 255. Now searching on foot,"

"Copy that, 255. Keep us posted," Came the reply.

I switched off my radio and grabbed my flashlight. I switched it on, and its bright beam of LED light cut a swathe through the dark night cloaking the outback floor in front of me. Then, I trekked after the beam of light, beginning my search for the backpackers.

Here we go. The longest search in the history of Australia begins...

It had been an hour since I started the search for the lost backpackers, and I hadn't found a thing. There was no sign of the backpackers anywhere, and had already searched what felt like half of the outback already. Happily, I still had plenty of energy thanks to the lunch I had a while ago.

Thank god for LED flashlights and their long endurance, as well.

I was about to call off my search, when, all of a sudden, a bright green light flashed to my left. It startled me bit, and after a moment, I decided to check it out, running in the direction of the light.

As I ran up a dune, the light got brighter and brighter, meaning that I was getting closer to whatever was making that light. Then, I took cover behind a rock, and what was making the green light came into view. It was a huge pointy castle-style building, with many holes emitting the green light I saw earlier. However, the whole "building" looked very familiar to me.

What the hell? Is that the... the Changeling Hive?!

Yes, it was the Changeling Hive. The one from To Where And Back Again. The one under the ruling of Queen Chrysalis!

Then, my suspicions about it being the Changeling Hive were confirmed when I spotted three equines standing out the front gate of the hive. But these equines looked different to the ponies you and I know. They looked more like bugs than ponies, with their two greenish-blue eyes, Swiss Cheese-style legs, bug wings, tails and shells and their fangs.

It confirmed it. They were changelings.

"It can't be... CHANGELINGS?!" I exclaimed. I soon realized that I shouldn't have said what I said out loud, as moments later, one of the changelings turned to look at me, a surprised look on his face. I swore it looked at me right in the eyes. After a few moments of having a staring contest with the changeling, his expression changed from surprise to aggression, as it hissed at me.

I immediately ducked back behind my rock when the changeling hissed at me. I was scared for my life. I had read the stories about changelings doing all sorts of horrifying things to captured intruders, so who knew what they'd do to me if they caught me?

If they catch me, I thought, trying to calm myself.

I looked back over my rock, to see what those changelings were doing. I was half expecting them to jumpscare me the moment I peeked out from behind the rock, but they were still where they were, right at the entrance. But the one that had spotted me was talking with the other, frantically pointing to where I was with his front hoof. The other two listened to the first's rambling, then they looked right at me. Then, I knew that I had been spotted when the second changeling hissed aggressively at me and the third yelled out, "INTRUDER!!!!!!!"

SHIT

Then, I saw the three changelings started to run towards me. And they were furious!

Adrenaline takes hold of me, and I immediately got onto my feet and raced away as fast as I could to escape the changelings who found me out. I maintained my grip on my torch, so I could light my way back to my car to escape in. Sure, it would give away my position, but better being caught by changelings than trip on a rock and break something important. I picked up the pace, as I heard the pattering of changeling wings growing louder from behind me. And I heard one of the changelings yell out, "HALT!!!! INTRUDER!!!!"

I just kept running, when I was suddenly tackled down. I fell to the ground, and when I came to a stop on the floor, I saw that I was being pinned to the ground by one of the changelings. He hissed in my face aggressively, keeping my arms and legs pinned down, trying to hold me while the others come to apprehend me.

Like hell I was going to let that happen!

I knew I couldn't reach for the Glock pistol I always carry with me, so I decided to do the next best thing; I freed my torch hand from the changeling's grip and shined the bright light into his eyes.

Finding himself staring into my high-power LED torch, he hissed out in pain and got off of me, rubbing his stinging eyes. As he got off of me to rub his eyes I was able to break free of his pin, get back on my feet and continue running.

This is ridiculous! One minute I'm assigned to find a bunch of tourists. The next, I'm running for my life from mythical creatures that only exist in a kids TV show! How did my life end up this way?!

I kept up my running, when I heard the pitter-patter of another set of changeling wings approaching. I looked back, when, out of nowhere, another changeling flew up to me at incredible speed and hit me in the temple with incredible force!

I flew into the air under the impact of the changeling's hoof impacting my head. After going flying for about a few seconds, I hit the dirt with a thud, and I blacked out. However, I could still hear what was going on.

I heard two sets of changeling wings approach and then something land near me.

"Did you get the intruder?" One changeling asked.

"Yessss," Another hissed, "He had no chanccccce, trying to esssscape usssss,"

There was a period of silence before the third changeling spoke up, "Ahh, it'sssss another human! Our Queen wil be pleassssed that we have found another human intruding on our groundssss,"

"Well, now that we've got him, what do we do with him?" The second asked.

"Let'sssss take it to the Queen. She'll decccide what to do with it. You two, go find the metal cart he arrived and bring it back with you. Then, nopony should come looking for him," The first stated, before something picked me up and I blacked out completely...

Meeting My New Queen

Unknown location

It had been about, I don't know, 5 minutes since I was attacked and knocked out by changelings after discovering their hive, out of all places, in the middle of the Australian Outback.

Finally, I had recovered from the blow I received when that crazy changeling rammed me in mid-air, which had knocked me out, and caused me to get captured.

Ow, my head! What happened? Where am I?

When I came-to, my vision was blurry and I couldn't hear anything. The only thing I could see was a bright green sparkling light filling my limited vision. Then, my hearing started to come back. I could hear two changelings, the ones that had caught me, were chating to each other. I also heard the clip-cloping of the changeling's hooves, the pattering of more changeling wings and some occasional hissing.

All of a sudden, I heard the changelings coming to a stop. I then started to make out what the two changelings were saying.

"Hurry, let's get thisss one into hisss cocoon. I hope it's comfortable for him, as it's where he'll be sssspending the rest of hisss life," One said, starting to laugh evilly. He was joined by the other changeling, who started laughing along with him.

After the laughter stopped, the other changeling asked, "Why did the Queen wish to keep thissss one? I can't sense any love inside of him, so he can't do us any good for food,"

What? Food?!

Oh yeah, they eat love.

"Are you quessstioning the orders of our Queen?" The first asked him, with a disapproving tone.

"N-No, I'm not! I would never dare to quessstion our Queen's orders!" The other quickly said, "I- just don't undersssstand she would keep something uselessss to us,"

"Don't worry about it. It's probably nothing of our concern," The first theorized, before saying, "Let's get thissss human into hissssss cocoon,"

Once the changeling had finished his sentence, I could feel myself being picked up by the two changelings and, judging by the pattering of changeling wings, I was being flown up to the roof.

But why would they fly me up to the roof?

Oh, so they can cocoon me! SHIT!

That's precisely when my vision cut out again. Then, I heard a sound that was reminiscent of a cat trying to vomit out a hairball, followed by a goopy feeling along my legs. I soon realized what was happening to me. I was being cocooned, just like Celestia in A Canterlot Wedding.

Soon, I could feel the two changelings starting to form my cocoon near my head, and I lost consciousness again.

Then, came the memories.

"Oh, come on, Daddy! Watch it with us! Please!" My 5-year-old twins begged of me to watch My Little Pony with them.

I know this memory!

This is the exact moment I became a brony!

"Okay, but just this once!" I sighed, walking over to the couch and sitting down. The twins rushed over to me as the show started.

They both gave me a big hug and said, "Thanks, Daddy!" That's precisely when the theme song for the show played, making me block my ears.

I like the show now, yes, but if there's one thing that drives me nuts, it's that damned theme song!

The episode that was being showed was A Canterlot Wedding, Part 1. I remember it a being the first episode I ever watched. However, this is where the memory starts to flicked and moves forward, skipping a few bits. The bits that were shown were the parts where Princess Cadence and Shining Armour are introduced, where Twilight catches the disguised Chrysalis hypnotizing Shining, and the moment "Cadence" sends Twilight away through the portal. When the episode ended, is when the memory ended in a flash of white light.

The next memory was of me watching A Canterlot Wedding, Part 2 with the kids. And upon seeing Chrysalis for the first time, I actually remember thinking, 'Wow. This Chrysalis is so beautiful!'

It was love at first sight. Figuratively and Literally.

As the episode progressed, I fell more and more under Chrysalis's spell of love, to the point where I forgot she was a villain. Then, the scene where the changelings were blasted out of Canterlot, and I remembered feeling sorry for the changelings, when they were blasted out.

My vision flashes again, and it changes to me watching another episode of My Little Pony. This episode is the climax of To Where And Back Again, Part 2. Right during the bit where the changelings reformed. I remember internally scowling at the reforming changelings, thinking that 'Chrysalis is the rightful ruler of the changelings' and 'a true changeling would be coloured black'.

Then, my vision flashes white and I start to wake up...

My vision cleared from blacked-out to full vision within a few seconds and I began to awaken from my sleep.

Finally, I'm awake! But what happened to me?

In case you're wondering why I asked myself that, here's why.

Everything I saw was green and I couldn't move my body. Also, everything was upside-down. Something wasn't right about this.

Wha? Why is everything green? And why can't I move?

Wait a minute...

I looked around for something reflective, so I could see what I looked like. But for a few moments, I couldn't find anything reflective. Until I spotted a cocoon. Inside it, appeared to be another person, looked like a female. But, since the cocoon was so shiny, I was able to see my refection perfectly.

That is, if you could call it my reflection.

All I could see of myself was my body completely in black, and I was also inside another cocoon!

So this is what it's like to be inside a changeling cocoon.

I just hung there in my cocoon, and wondered what would become of me, when all of a sudden, something sliced open the walls of my cocoon, and the goop that I was floating in started to spill out of the cut, taking me with it. I slid out of the cut with the changeling goop, with the goop coming out faster. Eventually, I fell out of the cocoon that contained me and landed in the pile of goop that had amassed below me. After recovering from that little fall, I got up into a kneeling position and looked around for who had just cut me free from my cocoon. It didn't take me long. Standing right in front of me, was a changeling, holding an M9 Bayonet with his magic, the blade covered in changeling goo.

He looked down upon me, and smiled and sly smirk, before saying, "Good morning, human. Did you ssssssleep well?"

Not knowing if it had asked a rhetorical question or if it was actually expecting an answer, I decided to answer anyway. "I guess so. You?"

Instead of answering me, the changeling just decided to ignore my question and replied. "Good. Did you have a pleasssssent dream?" But before I could answer, it beat me too it, "Of course you did,"

"How- did you know about my dreams?" Was all I could say to the changeling as he licked his blade clean, being careful not to cut its tongue.

Having heard my question, it just snuffed a laugh and sheathed its knife, before it answered, "Our Queen wasssss probing your memoriessssssss and she really liked what she sssssssaw. Sssssso I am to take you to her. She will decccide what to do with you," It then picked me up with its magic, and started taking me somewhere.

I wanted to try striking up a conversation with the changeling taking me to see the Queen, but he would ignore me. So, I stopped trying. As I was carried through the hive, some of the other changelings that we passed on our way to wherever we were going gave me some funny looks, hissed at me or just went about their day.

Unusual, I know.

After a while, we reached what appeared to be the throne room. I could tell because two armoured changelings stood at the front entrance. But to my surprise, both guards were holding F88 Austyer bullpup assault rifles in their magical grasp!

What?! Those are modern firearms! Where did they get those?!

I soon realized that I would have to wonder that later, as the two changeling guards permitted us entry. As we entered the throne room, I had no time to gawk at the sight, as I was thrown to the ground.

Ow! Why? Why did it throw me?

My vision quickly recovered from the impact, and I saw that the changeling that had brought me here was next to me, kneeling.

"The human you asked for, my Queen," The changeling addressed someone I couldn't see.

Then, a voice I instantly recognized replied to the changeling, with a slightly sultry tone. "Good. You may now leave," I got up onto my knees as the changeling left, and when I looked up, there she was.

Sitting on her throne, was Queen Chrysalis. The Queen of the Changelings. Standing next to her was another changeling, but my attention was focused on Chrysalis. Yes, she was from the TV show and looked identical to her form but she wasn't just a cartoon walking around, like some Space Jam knock-off. She sure looked real, breathing and looking down upon me, and inspecting every inch of me.

Well, if she's just gonna check me out, I think I'll do the same. Make sure she really is the Chrysalis I know and love, and not some rip-off. Let's see...

A long, crooked horn coming out of her head? Check.

Two very large insect-style wings? Yes.

Long green mane and tail, and a green shell on her back? Check, check and check.

Long slender legs? Absolutely.

Crown shaped antennae? Yep.

Sexy green eyes I could stare at forever? That too.

From everything I saw, there was no doubt in my mind that this was Queen Chrysalis herself.

Unfortunately, it seemed she had caught me staring at her drop-dead sexy form. Even worse, she looked like she was liking it. Her stern gaze gave way to a evil grin, and she spoke a cheeky comment.

"Are you done staring?"

I instantly snapped out of my fantasies and turned my attention to the changeling on her left (my right). And instantly, I was confused. This changeling didn't look like any other changeling on the show, nor did it look like any other OC changeling I have read about. This changeling, instead of being black and green (like all other changelings), he was black and red, making him one of a kind. Then, my confusion turned to fear, as I discovered this changeling's other features. And by other features, I mean his bloody front hooves and fangs, his broken and bleeding wings and his Cutie Mark of the Russian Air Force roundel. He also had what appeared to be a modified AK-47 assault rifle strapped to his back, and a gold-plated M1911 in a shoulder holster underneath his front-left leg.

This changeling was in complete contrast the the beautiful form of Chrysalis. Everything about him was fear-instilling, even demonic.

Since when to changelings look like that? It isn't possible...

Oh, SHIT! The demonic one's approaching me!

I just watched in absolute terror as the demonic looking changeling started to approach me, with a stern look on his face. There was nothing I could do as he trotted around me, inspecting every single inch of me. I relaxed a bit after he just stood at my side, just staring at me, but that changed the moment he put his hoof on the back of my head and forced me to bow at Chrysalis's hooves.

"BOW BEFORE YOUR QUEEN!" He snapped at me, pressing my head onto the dias. He kept holding my head down on the dais for a few moments, when he suddenly released me. Although I didn't know what to do, I just went with my gut and kept my head bowed.

I soon realised that by keeping my head bowed, I wouldn't get hurt. After several seconds of keeping my head on the dias, Chrysalis spoke to me.

"Rise, subject,"

I did what I was told, and raised my head off the dias and sat up to look at Chrysalis in the eyes. She just looked at me with curiosity, before she addressed me again. "How did you find my hive?"

I didn't answer her, as I was too scared to think straight. I wasn't sure if I wanted to answer her question.

However, the bloody changeling made my decision for me, as he grabbed the back of my head with his magic and pulled my head back, putting serious strain on my neck.

"ANSWER YOU QUEEN WHEN SHE SPEAKS TO YOU!!!" The changeling yelled at me, pulling on my head more.

The only thing I could answer it with was my cries of pain.

"ANSWER HER!!!" The changeling snapped again.

"Okay! Okay! I'll talk! Just let me go!"

The changeling holding onto to me looked up to its Queen for conformation. Chrysalis nodded once, and the changeling let me go.

"I was just on my way home, when I was asked to search for a group of people that went missing in this area!" I explained.

"I see. And...?" Chrysalis prompted me to continue. So I did.

"As I was searching, I came across the hive. I watched it from a distance for a bit, before I was spotted and captured..."

"...And you were brought before me while you were unconscious and I sent you to be cocooned," She finished for me.

After a few seconds of thought, I spoke again, "May I ask you a question?"

Chrysalis just frowned at me, and said, "Yes. The moment you start addressing me as your Queen!"

"M-My apologies, my Queen," I quickly replied, getting Chrysalis to turn her frown into a sly smile.

"May I ask you a question, my Queen?" I repeated, making sure I addressed Chrysalis properly.

"You may," She replied.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked.

Chrysalis just let out a small giggle, and said, "Normally, our captured victim would drained of their love, and be cocooned in our hive, never to be seen again. Of course, I would send one of my subjects to impersonate the one that was kidnapped or captured, so their relatives, family and friends don't get suspicious. However, when you were brought to me, I couldn't sense any love inside of you. It makes you useless as a food source,"

"Then let me go! I'm not useful to you or your hive," I interrupted.

"I DIDN'T FINISH!!!" She yelled at me, her horn crackling with magical energy. I instantly shut my mouth.

Jesus! I'd better keep my mouth shut if I know what's good for me!

After seeing that I had decided to let the Queen continue, she did just that. "Thank you. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, we can't use you as a food source. But while you slept in your cocoon, I was monitoring your memories. And I searched for anything that would prove useful to me. And then, I found something," When she said that, she got up from her throne and started to approach me, with a little added sway to her hips. "I found out that you seem to know about us and that you are in love with me and my... form,"

She then came right up to me, sat down in front of me, wrapped her front legs around my neck and leans if for a kiss, her two legs stopping me from pulling away.

Not that I wanted to, anyway.

So I wrapped my arms around her neck and our lips connected.

The moment our lips connected, Chrysalis started kissing me with an amount of passion that surprised me. I could feel her snake-like tongue grazing against my teeth, practically begging to be let into my mouth. I decided to permit her entry, and we stared to make out passionately. Her lips felt nice and warm, as it the rest of her body. I didn't know what to expect her kiss to taste like, but I soon found out that she tasted minty, just like the Minties lollies us Australians really like. Her lips tasted the same and it was wonderful.

After a long while, the Queen broke the kiss and opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful green-colored orbs with their exotic somewhat-cat-like slitted pupils.

Those eyes. They're too detailed for this to be a dream. And I can see each of the hairs in her eyelashes. And the bright, shining black skin on her muzzle.

And she just BREATHED on me.

Oh shit, this is REAL!

The Queen pulled away from me, a string of saliva still connecting my lips to her's. "Such a wonderful kisser you are. And such love I can sense for me and my hive. You'll be a great asset to my hive," She said, pulling away from me with an evil chuckle.

"Then I'll ask. What do want of me, my Queen?" I asked.

Chrysalis turned back to me and smiled. "What I want of you? Why, my dear human! I want you to join my hive, and help us conquer this world!" She stated, letting out a massive evil laugh, before continuing, "After that meddling Starlight Glimmer and her stupid friends corrupted my old hive with the disease that is friendship, me and my lover here teleported away before we were infected as well. We didn't know where we were headed, until we arrived here, at the very spot you kneel on now. But there was no hive. There was no wildlife. Just us. Stranded in a location we were unfamiliar with, alone..." When she said that, her eyes started to tear up and she started to sob, as she remembered the day she lost next to everything. Upon seeing his Queen sob, the demonic changeling approached Chrysalis and comforted her as best as he could. It was clear that he was Chrysalis's lover.

Even I started to feel sorry for her. Although, that was only natural for me to do so, as I just received a kiss from the one pony (or in this case, changeling) of my dreams.

After a while, Chrysalis wiped away her remaining tears and stopped sobbing. Then, her lover whispered something to her, and she whispered something back to him. I wondered what they were saying, but something inside me then told me that I probably wouldn't want to know.

Chrysalis turned back towards me, and spoke. "For day after day, me and my lover slaved away. Until we managed to build the very hive you see now. Then, we settled down, and repopulated. Every one of the precious babies that I lost, reborn in a new world. Free from the disease that is "Friendship"! Free for me to fill their tummies with love!" She stopped her happiness outburst to stare into the sky for a short while, before continuing to speak, "And free for them to help me take over this world without ANY interference from those retched ponies! But from what I've learned from the previous humans that were intruding on my grounds, your people are highly advanced. Too much so for a direct invasion. That's why I need you. I need someling to be my guide in this world. And after that wonderful kiss, I believe that the honor should be given to you,"

So that's all she needs! Someone to inform her about our race and guide her through the changeling invasion of Earth! Well, if that's it, I think I can help her.

Wait a minute...

She said 'previous humans that intruded on her grounds.' But that can only mean...

The missing backpackers!

"So," Chrysalis stated, put her face inches from my own and said, "Listen closely to my words, as I won't repeat myself. This is also my first and final offer. Join my hive. Help us take over this world. Join the beings you know and love,"

"And if I refuse?" I asked, bracing myself for the outcome.

Chrysalis recoiled a bit from my sudden question, before getting back in my face and answered, "Then, you'll still stay here. But encased in a cocoon, for the rest of your life,"

I took a moment to process what she had just said. I already knew which of the two choices would be the better option, but I wasn't 100 percent sure about which one I'd pick.

So, I looked Chrysalis in the eyes and asked, "My Queen. May I have a few minutes to think about my decision? You understand why, yes?"

"Yes, I understand, my subject. It is a big decision and I will allow you to think about your answer. But not for long," She replied, backing away from me and striking up a conversation with her lover. But I couldn't hear what they were saying, as I was already lost in my thoughts.

Okay, first thoughts? Let's start with the positives. I can't say that working for the fictional character I've loved ever since she first appeared would be bad. Maybe I can learn more about the changeling race while I'm here! Stuff that My Little Pony failed to cover! And I get to spend my whole life with the one I love!

Okay, what about negatives? Well, I never get to see my kids again. Or my loving wife. Or my buddies at work. Oh, god! They'll miss me, and I'll miss them! That's one hell of a price to pay.

Oh, man. I don't know if I should accept. Should I?

But then, as I started to doubt choosing to join Chrysalis and her Changeling Hive, a voice called out to me in my head. Well, when I say 'a voice', I mean that it sounded like the whole hive was calling out to me.

JOIN US.

What?

Then, the voices kept repeating.

JOIN US.

Join you?

JOIN US. JOIN US.

What do you mean 'join you'?

JOIN US!

Go away! Leave me alone!

JOIN US!

OKAY! OKAY! JUST SHUT UP!

I snapped out of my thought, and got away from my 'Inner Hive Voice'. The moment I had broken free from my thoughts, Chrysalis and her lover had finished their conversation and were looking at me. It was as if they were waiting for me to come out of my thoughts.

"I see you've had your time to think about my offer," Chrysalis said, trotting towards me, "So, what is your final decision?"

I didn't respond to her for a few seconds, when I looked up, looked Chrysalis in the eyes and gave her my answer.

"I... will join you and your hive. It seems like the best option for me to take,"

Chrysalis smiled at me and, to my surprise, so did her lover.

"I knew you would choose that! Welcome to the hive, my subject," She said, maintaining her smile and tenderly stroking my cheek. "But now, you must become one of us,"

I felt a chill run down my spine when she said that. "Wait. What do you mean by 'become one of you?'"

Chrysalis's smile, along with her lover's slime disappeared. "Now that you've joined us, you must become one of us. We must turn you into a changeling, as a human body cannot naturally access magic of any form. In order to help us to your best ability, you must become a changeling," She explained, as calm as she could.

"Wait... How do you know that humans don't have magic? How did you find that out?" I asked.

Chrysalis jerked her head away from me in surprise, as if I had just found out something I shouldn't have. She stared at me with a look of shock, then turned to her lover for conformation.

He just looked at his Queen and said, "My love. I'll explain,"

He then walked up to Chrysalis, turned to me and what he said next sent shivers up my spine. "We... We used two of the humans that intruded on our grounds, one male, one female, and we... used them in an anatomy study,"

"You sliced them open?!" I cried out, shocked beyond all recognition.

"We sliced them open for a purpose!" He snapped, "Okay, I'm not saying that what we did was right! But it was necessary! It's better to learn first-hoof!"

We both stared each other down with an angry gaze, when Chrysalis stepped in between me and her lover. My expression softened as he turned her calming gaze towards me. "I'm sorry. But now, we must prepare you for your transformation into a changeling,"

A moment of silence passed, before I asked, "Will it hurt?"

Chrysalis just giggled at my question. "It won't. Not even a bit. I'll place you under a sleep spell before you return to your cocoon, so I can begin the transformation. And since you are under my spell, you won't feel a thing," She reassured.

"But I need your consent on this so I can begin. Are you sure you wish to become a changeling?"

"Of course, my Queen. You have my consent," I quickly replied.

Chrysalis smiled, and lit up her horn, no doubt about to cast her sleep spell on me. "Good! Now SLEEP, my subject," She punctuated her last words with her sleep spell, and when it was cast, a wave of sleepiness overtook me and I feel into a deep slumber.

The last thing I heard before the spell fully took hold of me, was Chrysalis saying, "Have nice dreams, for tomorrow, you will wake up as one of us..."

My New Life... As A Changeling

Changeling Hive, Amberley
Australia

Chrysalis strode through the halls of her hive, heading for the room where all of the cocooned humans were stored. Her lover walked alongside her, escorting her. Changelings that were passing by and saw their Queen either bowed before her or saluted her lover. Out of habit, her lover would salute back.

Eventually, the two reached the cocoon room and turned their attention above them, to a single cocoon, separated from the others. In this cocoon, was a changeling. But it wasn't like any of the others. It was wearing a Queensland Police Service standard uniform, duty belt and load bearing vest, but minus the pants and shoes (for obvious reasons). And surprisingly, his duty belt and load bearing vest kept all of the standard equipment on it during the transformation (A .40-calibre Glock 22 pistol with 3 magazines, plus 90 rounds of ammunition, an extendable baton (21") concealed within pouch, a pair of Saflok Mark 5 hinged handcuffs, a Motorola APX 8000 radio and its pouch, a can of OC (oleoresin capsicum/pepper spray) spray within pouch, an X26 Taser, an Axon Body 2 body worn camera (BWC), a Maglite torch and an Apple iPhone X to access the operational computer QPRIME, given the name 'QLiTE').

Chrysalis looked at the changeling in his pod for a moment, then turned to her lover and said two words;

"Do it,"

"Yes, my love," He replied, before approaching the cocoon that contained the changeling, before drawing a reversed-grip Ka-Bar combat knifes from his combat belt, running towards one of the walls, jumping and pushing himself off and soaring towards the cocoon. With a simple flick of his hoof and an aggressive, combat-style yell, the blade of his Ka-Bar easily sliced through the wall of the cocoon, causing the goo inside to leak out, taking the changeling inside the cocoon with it.

As the changeling slowly seeped out of his cocoon, Chrysalis's lover landed on the ground in front of Chrysalis, looked over his shoulder at the sliced-open cocoon and wiped his knife's blade before he re-sheathed it in his belt.

"It is done, my love,"

"Thank you, sweet," Chrysalis replied, as she kept her gaze on the changeling coming out of his cocoon. And after a long while, the changeling came free of his cocoon and fell into the pile of Changeling goo. Chrysalis walked up to the fallen changeling and inspected his form closely.

"It's perfect. The transformation from his human form into a changeling was a complete success! Not one bit of his human body remains, except his brain, of course. It has remained the same, but has blended with a changeling brain perfectly. Now, he can learn our magic, yet retain his free will," Chrysalis stated, as she examined her newest subject.

"And his clothes have fitted to his new form as well. Although, I can't say the same for his pants and shoes. But he won't need them. It's that Glock he will need," Her lover added, coming over to her.

After a moment of looking, Chrysalis turned to her lover and said, "Bring him to the throne room. I do not wish for our guide to awaken in a pile of our fluid,"

"Yes, my love," Her lover acknowledged, picking up the sleeping changeling and carrying him on his back to the throne room.

But while the demonic changeling carried the sleeping changeling away, Chrysalis managed to get a good look at the sleepy one's flank.

Mmm, such a nice flank he has! Hmmm...

I didn't know how long I had been asleep for, and I just couldn't feel my limbs at all.

Ohh, my head. What happened to me?

"My... limbs. I... can't... feel them," I muttered, trying to stand up. But for some reason, I found it very difficult to stand up. Every time I tried to stand up, I fell down. Probably because I couldn't see. I was still waking up from that spell Chrysalis put on me.

"Awaken, my subject," I heard Chrysalis's voice say, before I felt all of my tiredness fade away from me. I was able to open my eyes, and found that I was lying on the ground in the throne room. Chrysalis was sitting on her throne, staring down at me with a satisfied look on her face and her lover was standing next to her.

"Mmm, yes. It's all perfect. Just stay there and let me admire your new form,"

Oh no. Is that what I think it means?

Just to check, I raised what I thought was my arm, and discovered that in its place, was a changeling hoof.

"Yes. You have been reborn, as a changeling,"

I looked over myself to see if this was still real. And everything resembling my old human form was gone. Now, I had a changeling body and everything that came with it. I could feel a horn on my head and the tips of two fangs rubbing against my lower lip. I could even tell that I had wings!!! I looked behind to admire them and I found out that I could move them with ease.

Oh god, this is unreal.

Now that I could see, I tried to get up once again. But once again, I fell down onto my belly again.

"You are too weak to get up. Give your new body a moment to rest," The Queen's lover then told me.

"Yeah, good idea," I told him, as I stayed on the ground. And quite soon, I could feel my energy being restored. I then got up and stood before my queen.

"Ahh, perfect. Now you are adapting to your new body," Chrysalis mused, as she got up from her throne and approached me. She then crounched down to my height, placed a hoof under my chin and forced me to look up at her. "But now, you must truly become a changeling,"

Become a changeling? What does that mean?

"W-what do you mean, my queen?" I asked, confused as hell.

Chrysalis just let out a small giggle and then said, "To truly become a changeling, you must learn how to behave like us and use your magic. Me and my lover shall teach you become who you are truly meant to be," She then stood back up and said, "Follow me,"

She then began to walk towards the massive doors at the entry to the throne room, and her lover had also started to follow her. I did the same, not knowing where she was taking me.
