Fall of Equestria: Blacklight
Liberating Dodge Junction and meeting a Queen
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe reason I had left so suddenly was because I had felt someone trying to cross the barrier I had made. Why they would, I don't know. Then again I have yet to tell them about it so that's probably something I should do. Getting to the place, I saw a cloaked mare looking up at the large red and black wall that glowed faintly. "Hey there, there a reason you trying to get out?" I asked the mare. She turned to me and I was surprised to see a Zebra mare.
"I was trying to get to my brews, but this wall has caused me to stew." (Horrible Rhyming, I know. I'm trying my best here, Kay!?)
"Uh, right. So I'm guessing these, ahem, 'brews' are either an alcoholic drink, or a potion. But based on the circumstances, I'm gonna say potion." I said as I walked up to her.
"Indeed my strange fellow, but this is keeping me from my hollow." (Her 'Hollow' being her home.) I nod, understanding her for the most part.
"Alright, I can get that. Well let me help you then." I command the wall to lower and it does so. "Come on, we need to hurry back incase something happens back at the castle." Zecora nodded and I followed her to a large tree covered in tribal masks. "Heh, spooky place ya got here. Really getting a witch doctor vibe from it."
"I'm glad you think so, but let us hurry so we may go." I nod and begin filling the large metal pot with ingredients, making sure none of them touched each other. I also put in some books and noticed one with a golden unicorn head. Then, to Zecora's surprise, I lift the entire pot with one hand and start to read the book with the other. I look to Zecora to see she had a crate filled with different potions that ranged in all the colors of the rainbow, some even having two different colors at the same time.
As we walk back to the castle, I learn a bit about Zecora and her home in Zebrica. Apparently, not all zebras rhymed, it was mostly the shamans who did so. Something about ancestors and how they did things in the past. Still cool though. I told her a bit about myself and she had asked if she could experiment with my biomass.
I didn't see the harm in it and made a small ball of it, and made to put it in the pot with the rest of the ingredients. But Zecora stopped me and asked if she could hold it. I shrugged and gave her the ball of biomass. "It is quite… warm my young friend. I wonder what uses I can find till it's end."
"Actually, my body is made of biomass so technically I'm genderless. That and it can't deteriorate, even if it is separated from my body. And if you ever need more just come ask me. But make sure whatever experiments you use it for aren't of the dangerous variety. I don't need it blowing up and becoming a fine mist that can infect others if they inhale it."
Zecora nods once more, holding the ball in a free hand as the entire ball seemed to be constantly moving but not doing anything as well. Eventually I took it away and put it in the pot full of ingredients. As we entered the castle. I had also been reading the book as we walked and found a decent amount of history inside it.
I then got an idea as I set the book and the pot by Zecora's tent. I made my way over to the two princesses and took them aside so we can talk in private. "Alex, is there a reason you have pulled us away in such a rush." Luna said with a small glare.
"Yeah, I think I know the two perfect ponies I want to give the virus. You two, or more specifically, your alternate personalities. Nightmare Moon and whatever you call your alternate personality Celestia, if you have one that is." The two looked at me like I had grown a second head.
"Excuse for saying this, BUT ARE THOU BUCKING INSANE!?" Luna yelled at the top of her lungs. Alex just took it with a smile on his face.
"Yep, think about it. They would have their own bodies and you two would be free of them. And, if they ever do get out of line, I can consume them. And remember, only a Blacklight Evolved can defeat a Blacklight Evolved. And I am much more adept with my powers than they will be when they first inhabit the bodies." Luna went to argue this but Celestia put up a hand, silencing her.
"That… makes sense. But are you sure you are able to train and reform them?" Celestia asked with deathly seriousness.
"Like I said, if I can't, I'll consume them. They might have magic, but I'll have a direct link to their bodies and I'll make it so they can't use magic. A failsafe if you will." Celestia nodded, liking the sound of that.
"Alright, but we should do this at a time and place that nopony will see them. I don't think your subjects will like seeing two villains at the current time." Celestia nodded and looked to Luna who seemed a bit peeved about being cut out from the conversation.
"Your thoughts Luna?" Celestia asked her younger sister.
"While I do trust you somewhat Alex, I can't say the same for Nightmare Moon. She had swayed me with promises of love and devotion from our ponies a thousand years ago. But when she forced me to the side and took over my body, I saw her true reasons. When the elements had cleansed me of her, I made sure to never trust her again and to never let her out. I have my doubts that you won't sway to her fake promises."
That was… a pretty good reason actually. Celestia hadn't experienced this with her evil side but Luna had. "I can't promise that she won't try, but I can promise if she tries to, I will punish her accordingly. In fact, let me tell you a story. There was a doctor named Caitlin Snow who also had an evil side. She was named Killer Frost. Eventually, the two began to speak to each other and found a compromise. Months later they were basically sisters."
Luna absorbed all of this, her tense body slightly relaxing. "You really think you can keep her in line." Alex nodded.
"I promise I'll do the best I can." Luna looked between Celestia and Alex before sighing.
"Very well. When shall we do this?" Luna asked the living virus.
"I still need to get the biomass for their bodies. Meanwhile, I suggest you two try to figure how to transfer their conscious' to their new bodies." They nodded and three of us separated.
I leaped out of the castle, looking for anymore Manticores or maybe a Hydra. I landed just outside of the entrance to a huge cave that seemed big enough to fit a large mansion through it. I went inside, looking around with my thermal vision to see better. I looked around a corner to find…
"Oh you have got to be fucking with me now, how do you even feed that thing?" I whispered to myself as I looked up at the star bear that was larger than several large houses stacked on top of one another. It was slightly translucent with purple fur that had small white dots inside it that seemed to shine like stars.
'I mean, the Hydra was one thing, but this!?' I yelled inside my head. I made plans on strengthening and making the biowall a lot bigger and more deadly as I backed out of the cave carefully. Getting out of the cave, I placed a small marker that would send out a signal if the mega bear ever came out.
I continued my search but ended up going to the south side of the Everfree, a few miles away from the castle turned refugee camp. I was about to turn back when I saw a thinning column of smoke. Curiosity getting the better of me, I began to make my way towards the town in the distance. Getting closer, I began to see multiple banners around the town. It was a black banner with a red outline. The image inside that being the head of a Caribou on top of an image of a pony skull.
I growled as I lept towards the town, heading right for the center before slamming into the ground. The ground shook quite hard, causing some glasses to shatter inside some of the buildings. In a few seconds, about 70 Caribou and several stallions had came out with mares and fillies in chains. I stood tall and yelled loud enough for the whole town to hear. "If you don't want to die, I suggest you drop the chains and leave. If not, you have to deal with me."
It was silent for several seconds before they began to laugh. I smirked while I mumbled under my breath. "Your choice." I turned my arms into Whipfists and spun in a circle, decapitating several Caribou at once. I was almost happy that the ponies were being forced to crawl so I wouldn't have to worry about hurting them. After a few moments, I stopped and retracted the Whipfists. Less than half of the Caribou remained now. Though I noticed I had cut into several of the buildings on either side of me.
I just smirked and formed my large tail that began to drip with venom. I leapt at a group of Caribou and impaled three of them on the tail with a fourth being injected with the venom. Almost instantly he began to convulse as he transformed into a familiar looking beast. The venom had transformed the Caribou into a sickly resemblance of a Hunter. It had the normal four legged body but had two large antlers made for impaling multiple enemies. I removed the tip of my tail from the newly formed Hunter.
I decided to give this variety a name and called it Hunter Class C. Class A being the original and Class B being the Brawlers. Knowing I had the power to control Hunters, I looked at the other group of Caribou and pointed at them, giving the hunter a command that it couldn't hurt any of the ponies. The Hunter C pounced at the group who began to scatter, dropping the chains of the mares and fillies to run for their lives.
It was pointless though as the Hunter C chomped one of the fleeing Caribou in half, head first, before leaping at another one to impale it on it's horns. Meanwhile, I had turned my attention back to the rest of the Caribou on my side. I consumed the Caribou impaled on my tail and began to stalk towards the rest. These ones however were a bit more resilient and took out daggers and other weapons.
The entire time, Alex was being watched by a small black pony with insect like wings on top of a house, staring at Alex in reverence. "Alpha." The pony whispered to itself as it began to fly away, having news for her leader. Back to Alex, I impaled a Caribou on a claw while kicking a Caribou that tried to rush me with a knife. After a many cracks sounded out, the Caribou flew back several meters before slamming into other Caribou, making them fall to the ground.
"You ugly fucks are, well, fucked!" I laughed as I shredded another Caribou with a claw. I jumped over a Caribou that had gotten a spear and during my flip, grabbed his head with my hands and lifted him off the ground. I pulled him up and forwards as I increased the strength of what was about to happen. But thinking back on it, I might have overdid it.
I had pulled so hard, so fast, that his head was pulled from his shoulders, his entire spine following. His body went limp as it flew overhead, splattering blood everywhere. I looked around a bit and, seeing no more Caribou, went over to my Hunter C and saw he had caught a turned stallion. Deciding not to eat him, I kneeled down and took his chin in one of my claws. "Tell me, why go back against your own race?" I asked calmly.
"Cause, mares are nothing but objects for the pleasure of males." The stallion said defiantly. I shook my head and stood. I turned and began to walk away before stopping. I then snapped my fingers and the Hunter C snarled. The stallion screamed as he was mauled by the Hunter C. I gathered the rest of the ponies to town center and they all looked like they were being led to the slaughter.
After making sure I got everyone, I cleared my throat to quieten their chatter. "Listen up, I am Alex Mercer. I am currently working with the princesses to free this land from the conquerors known as the Caribou. We are currently taking refuge in the castle of the two sisters in the Everfree Forest. I, along with my Hunter, are going to escort you there. Grab any supplies you can. Those of you who want to have those chains off come to me and I will remove them. Those that are too young or too old to make the trip, get on the Hunter and he will carry you."
I looked at my Hunter and gave him a command to lay down, which he did immediately. The ponies began to mumble amongst themselves which made me sigh. "That, or the Caribou come back and enslave all of you once more." That shut them up as they looked at each other before nodding. One by one, I removed the metal collars from the ponies who then proceeded to go into the buildings to probably get supplies. Some of them gave me hugs of thanks which would have made me blush if I still had blood. Why? All of them were naked.
Yep, completely and utterly naked. Though I had to say, I would tap some of those asses. This town had a lot of supplies which made me think that this place was a trading town that relied on trade to fuel their town's economy. After I was finished taking off the metal collars, I picked one of them up and examined it. Looking closely, I saw that some kind of strange writing was on the inner part of the collar. I decided to take one with me to examine it further or have the princesses look at them.
It took about an hour for everyone to get ready and the sun had lowered a bit in the sky which I was thankful for. Most of the area between the town and Everfree was like a desert so the scorching sun wouldn't be as bad for them. Making sure everyone was with the group, I began to lead them to the forest about 10 miles away. Some of the mares came up to me and we talked but they mostly conversed about themselves.
Some of the fillies were having fun with the Hunter who now acted like a large but gentle dog with them, smoothing over his more jagged edges to be less dangerous. There were only about two stallions in our group, but no colts. Why? The reason ain't pretty. The Caribou want the next generation of colts to be their own. So, they are killing all the colts in Equestria. It was sickening to me.
I made sure to be on the lookout out for any Caribou patrols or stragglers that might follow us. It was when we were about a mile from the forest edge did something happen. I heard the buzzing of an insect's wings and looked around for the source. The ponies seemed to be getting scared and the Hunter had gently shrugged off the fillies before sharpening his claws and getting ready to fight. After a few seconds a large black pony that was about the same size of Celestia, minus the flowing mane and tail, landed a few feet away from us.
"Who are you? And why have you come here?"I asked the black pony, ready to react to anything this insect pony might do.
"I am Queen Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings. I am here because you are something my hive needs. A Changeling who can change without magic." The Queen said as she walked closer. I growled as I formed my arm blade.
"Stop right where you are." And to my surprise, she did. "Down on your knees." Chrysalis did as she was told. "... why are you doing everything I tell you to?" I asked as I came closer to her.
"Because, you are a God. I can feel your power. It has been told for centuries that one day a Changeling with the power to change without magic would bring us to salvation. And seeing what you can do first hand, only now do I believe it to be true." Chrysalis said as she bowed.
'... she for real? Am I part of some sort of prophecy here?' I looked down at her before making my arm blade revert back to my hand. "Alright. Let's just say for one second I believe you. How am I supposed to trust you?"
"Because I came here alone while you obviously outnumber me." Chrysalis said as she gestured to the frightful ponies. I pursed my lips before sighing.
"Very well. But for me to really trust you, I want you to accompany me to the castle of the two sisters. We'll talk along the way and we can see if we can reach some sort of alliance." Chrysalis only nodded, standing as she walked up to me.
"Very well, I shall accompany you. May I ask what is your name my Lord?" She asked with an air of reference.
"First, my name is Alex Mercer. Second, If you need to talk to me, either use my first or last name." I said as I started to walk towards the forest.
"I see. So, what are you Mercer? Cause I know that you are not a pony nor are you a Changeling." The Queen asked as she fell into step beside me. I almost expected this question to come up.
"I am a sentient virus known as the Blacklight Virus. I used to be human before I was infected by the virus. Now I am, what you call, a Blacklight Evolved. A human that is infected by the virus but can control it on a whim." Chrysalis seemed very intrigued by this.
"And how were you infected?" I immediately turned on her and glared.
"And why do you want to know?" She shrunk away a bit as her ears folded back. I wasn't foolish. I knew she had attacked Canterlot at one point. And it was this that made me not trust her. She was a deceiver and was an expert in manipulation. But I was still mostly human where it counted. And it was this part that allowed me to see what she was trying to do. "You want my power for your own, don't you? But guess what, I'm no fool. I know you attacked Canterlot. So just try and trick me and we can see how fast that head of yours can be decapitated from your body."
The Queen was deathly pale as she shook in real, unadulterated fear. I huffed and stood back up. "Ask me questions that don't revolve around the virus." I told her as I continued to walk towards the Everfree.
Chrysalis gulped and slowly made her way so she was standing a bit behind me and to the side. All of us stayed silent for the next hour as we got close to the castle. I stopped Chrysalis as we were a few feet away from the entrance. The rest of the ponies passed me, thanking me once more before going inside. I also had my Hunter stay outside as well to act like a guard dog.
After I made sure we were alone, I sighed and turned to Chrysalis. "Look, I'm sorry for lashing out. But I know the nature of your species. I figured you were trying to extract information from me. But I have to know now, are you really trying to get help from me?" I asked her, really wanting to help her.
"... Yes. My species are dying Alex. I am a desperate mother, willing to do anything to help my subjects. That's why I came to you. I need your help to have my species survive. As it is, we are all slowly starving to death." Chrysalis said as tears filled her eyes, hugging herself as she imagined what would happen if she failed her children. Least to say, I was stunned. Out of all her reasons, that was the one I was not expecting.
I reached out for her and pulled her to me, hugging her to my chest as I let her cry. We sat there for a good few minutes until she calmed herself down. "Please, I have nowhere else left to turn." I nodded and smiled.
"Okay, I will. But first, you need to apologize to a few ponies. And a few of them are here." Chrysalis froze up as I lead her inside. All the ponies stared at us as we passed, my arm around Chrysalis in a protective manner. But I was soon stopped by six specific mares.
"Alex, what is she doing here?" Twilight asked as she glared at Chrysalis who winced a little, the only one to notice being Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"She needs my help Twilight. I need to take her to Celestia so she can apologize. And speaking of which, she also needs to apologize to you." I looked at Chrysalis who made a face that said, 'Do I really have to?'
"What!? Are you kidding me? She probably took over your mind as well!" Rainbow yelled as she cracked her knuckles.
"Nope, and she can't. I have no mind to control." I said as I ripped open the top of my head to show I didn't even have a brain. Several ponies lost their lunches to say the least.
"That… that was sick. And not in the sense that it was cool." Rainbow said, looking a little green. Even Chrysalis looked a little sick.
"Either way, Chrysalis is here to make peace. And she needs our help."
"And why's that?" I look at Chrysalis before walking to the six and whispering.
"She and her changelings are starving to death." They all gasp and look at Chrysalis with worry.
Fluttershy runs up to the Queen and hugs her, making Chrysalis gasp in shock. "W- what are you doing!?" Chrysalis exclaims as she tries to push Fluttershy off of her.
"I'm trying to help you feed." Chrysalis rolled her eyes as she finally pushes off Fluttershy.
"That isn't how it works. Thank you for trying, but it was pointless." Fluttershy blushes and backs away, realizing she had done that for all to see.
"Look, I'm gonna figure out how to help her, but I need to talk to Celestia and Luna first. Oh, and Twilight, mind taking a look at this." I say giving Twilight the metal collar as I walked past her with Chrysalis following close behind.. "And don't mind the monster by the front doors." I yelled back at them.
"M- Monster!?" Fluttershy squeaks. I had to hold in a snicker which Chrysalis saw.
"Heh, very funny Alex. Didn't know you had a sense of humor." Chrysalis said as she bumped my shoulder.
"Yeah, I have a mix of dark and erotic humor." I said nonchalantly. Chrysalis just giggled to herself as we exited the throne room. We walked a bit until I heard the unmistakable voices of Celestia and Luna.
"... needs to know!" Celestia said to Luna.
"Why!? It's not like that idiot will figure out how get to it anyway." Luna said, not knowing Alex was right around the corner.
"And if he does, what will happen then? He has all the cards in his hand right now and if he gets that, we are finished!" Celestia yelled at Luna. Choosing to intervene before it escalated, Alex walked around the corner.
"What are you two talking about?" Alex asked angrily. They both jumped a bit as they had not noticed Alex until he had spoken.
"Oh, Alex. You scared the buck out of us." Celestia said, putting a hand to her chest.
"Yeah, what she said." Luna said, pointing at her sister. I just gave them a blank stare. They began to get nervous as they looked back and forth at each other. "Er, we may have a problem." Luna said, rubbing the back of her head.
"How big?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Not that big." Luna tried to push off with Celestia disagreeing.
"Very big, you see we have a number of strong magical artifacts in Canterlot that is under high protection. Only me and my sister know how to get into it." Celestia explained.
"And she is saying that the Caribou King will figure out how to get to said artifacts." Luna says blankly. "But I think that he is too much of an idiot to even get passed the first layer of magical defenses."
"Okay, let's say this is a worse case scenario. The King manages to get into this vault or whatever and he also knows how to use all of those artifacts. What is the worst thing he can do?" Alex asked with curiosity, crossing his arms.
"Take control of the sun and moon." They said in unison. I immediately change my attitude.
"That seems like a pretty big freaking deal! Why am I only now being told this?!" I yelled at them with slight anger.
"Don't worry you three, I made sure to put them in a place that only I can get to." A disembodied voice said as a creature appered in midair. That is before I wrapped the Whipfist around it and slammed it into the ground, dragging it as I pulled it towards me as I changed my other hand into the arm blade. I pointed it at his face as I snarled. Whatever this thing was, he was scared for his life. Like he should be.
"Alex! Stop! He's a friend!" Luna said as she waved her hands in front of her. I looked up at her and then back down at the creature before huffing and letting it go.
"Don't surprise me." I said as I crossed my arms. He gulped and nodded, rubbing at the scratches that the Whipfist had made in his fur.
"*Gulp* A- alright." The creature whimpered as Luna checked him over.
"I have never seen Discord so scared before." Celestia whispered to herself, wondering how dangerous Alex is if he can strike fear into Discord, the being who wasn't even affected by Fluttershy's Stare. Discord cleared his throat before speaking again.
"Ugh, as I was saying, I have moved all of the artifacts into my own pocket dimension. Unless they become me, there is no way they can get to them." Discord said as he brushed his shoulder like it was some accomplishment he was brushing off. "The defenses you had set up took me forever to get passed, but I eventually got around them." Discord told Celestia. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to find my dear Fluttershy."
"Oh, her? She's in the throne room right now." I said as I pointed behind me.
"Why is that?" He asked, curious why she wouldn't be in Ponyville.
"Discord, Ponyville is lost. I came across her home and… it was rubble. She's fine but… I think she's seconds away from bursting into tears. When I first found her, she was seconds away from being raped." I could almost see the anger rising in his body.
"I still have trouble believing all of this is happening." Celestia said as she put her head down in shame. "We had just defeated Tirek and it looked like everything ahead would be fine. But now… it's anarchy."
"Tirek? Whose that?" I asked. Yes, out of all the info I have gained I have not even heard of Tirek.
"He was a Centaur that had set out to steal all the magic in Equestria. And he had succeeded. But Twilight was able to defeat him and return all the magic to Equestria. We thought the worst was behind us. But it appears the Caribou had caught us on our worst of times."
"Or they planned this." I said with some thought. "Think strategically here Princess. Your resources were spread thin trying to help your country recuperate. You had just been attacked and had not been expecting another one so soon. They planned this out to the T. If Tirek had beat you and Twilight wasn't able to defeat them, the Caribou had magic nullifing stuff on them. And their numbers would be more than enough to kill Tirek. But he was defeated so they went to plan B. What they didn't plan on was me."
I smiled and crossed my arms. The princess nodded, smiling a bit. "And that is what I have to be thankful for. Who knows what would have happened to me and the rest of my ponies if it wasn't for you." Celestia walked over to me and hugged me. "Thank you Alex. You have no idea how thankful I am." I returned the hug and I knew that if I was capable of blushing, I would have.
"Well, don't thank me yet until I either eradicate them all, or I drive them back to where they came from." I said as I gently pushed her away.
"Right, of course." Celestia said with a light pink tint to her cheeks. Luna saw this and smiled as knew of the teasing she will be able to do to her sister in the near future. "Oh, and we have talked with our respective other sides. They agree that they will help you as long as that afterwards, they are the ones to kill the king." Luna nodded in agreement.
"They also wish for a consort." All thought process stopped right then and there.
"Wat."
"They wish for a Consort and a section of our kingdom to rule. We are still deciding on the last part but a requirement for them is to have a Consort." Luna said a bit nervously.
"I'll… let myself out." Discord said as he teleported away.
"... Let me guess, they want me." Looking between each other they slowly nodded. "Heh, figured." I said with a shake of my head. "Oh, and before we go any further, I have a potential ally I would like to introduce you two to. Alright, you can come on out!" I yelled out to Chrysalis as she stepped around the corner. Celestia was on her in a second, knife in hand and pressed against the neck of the Changeling Queen.
"I made the mistake of letting you win last time Chrysalis, but not this time."
"L- let me win!? What do you mean?" Chrysalis asked the enraged mare.
"I let you win as I knew my student would defeat you. And while she didn't directly defeat you, she had a large part in it." Celestia said as she pressed the knife against Chrysalis' neck harder. Before she could kill the Changeling, I pulled Celestia away and pushed her over to Luna.
"Watch your feelings Celestia. I'm strong, but I can't defeat a whole army by myself. With her, we'll have an army of our own. An army of Blacklight Evolved with me as their Commander. Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker, and possibly Chrysalis will lead their own forces with me leading the main group. This way, we can get much more done a lot faster. Besides, when all of this is over and done with, we'll need to rebuild this nation." I explained in a strong and forceful voice.
All of them were silent before Celestia sighed. "Once again, your words are very true."
"You speak with a wisdom beyond your years." Luna continued, looking at Chrysalis with a little distaste. "As such, we shall listen to you, as we should have from the very beginning. You have shown no malice towards any of us and yet we treat you like a sleeping Manticore that is about to wake up." Luna said sadly as she bowed her head. "I hope you can forgive us."
Celestia nodded and bowed her head as well. I just sighed as I walked up to them. I could see them tense until I put a hand on their shoulders. "Listen, I expect you to look at me with suspicion. You wouldn't be good rulers otherwise. I'm an unknown, I get that. I don't expect you to trust me or take my words at face value. But I need you to trust my judgement. Otherwise, I won't be able to help anyone." The two princesses look at me with small smiles on their faces.
"Okay, we shall trust your judgement Sir Mercer." Luna said as she nodded, Celestia doing the same. I took my hands away and backed up till I was next to Chrysalis.
"Thank you. Now then, back to where we were. I have yet to get to the finer details of how we do this, but Chrysalis is going to help us either get the Caribou to retreat, or kill as many as we can until we can force them back to where they came from." I stopped and looked to Chrysalis, letting her continue from there.
"In return, I wish for my subjects to have a substantial amount of food to survive. And like Mercer said, we can work out the finer details later. Though after all of this is done with, we want your help to try and turn the Badlands into a thriving place like the rest of Equestria. Our Chitin and anatomy may help us with the harsh heat, but I can't count how many Changelings have fallen due to heat stroke."
Chrysalis said sadly, the hurt clear on her face. Even Celestia seemed to be a bit empathetic. "We will try as best as we can. As for the love your Changelings need, we will try to figure out how to extract love from willing ponies without harming them."
"Actually, I've been thinking about that." I spoke up, getting their attention. "Love is just chemicals in the brain, as well as other emotions. So I might be able to make a Bio-Plant that produces Chemicals that will make artificial love. But I will need to figure out the correct mixture so that I don't make the wrong emotion or end up overdosing the Changelings."
Chrysalis chuckled and rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Yes, I will admit that some Changelings can get addicted to Love. I was one such Changeling when I invaded Canterlot. That is another reason why I went so power hungry and seemed quite insane."
"Case in point." I said while giving myself a mental pat on the back for thinking ahead. "Now then, I have gathered enough Biomass to make the bodies for both Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. Have you two done your part?"
They both nodded. "Yes, it was quite difficult to figure out and make the spell matrix but we should be able to transfer their consciousnesses into their new forms." Celestia said a little proudly.
"Excellent. Oh, and I would advise your ponies not to go out the front door for awhile." Celestia and Luna looked at me with a bit of worry in their gazes.
"Why's that?" They ask at the same time. Just then, a shrill scream pierced the air which was followed by many more. I sighed in exasperation.
"That's why. Come on, I'll show you." I began to lead the way, Celestia and Luna looking worried while Chrysalis was a little amused.

I hope you guys like my first attempt at rhyming with Zecora. It was quite challenging as I am terrible at rhyming.
