Charlie and Luster Dawn both have been following the green stream and walking in the everfree forest for fifty minutes, and Luster Dawn had a fatigue expression on her, except for Charlie, he is still in good health and is very vibrant because he needs to keep pushing himself forward in order to rescue the land from the Chinese.

"Uggh! This is so tiring!" Luster Dawn complained which made Charlie roll his eyes in aggravation.

"Calm down, we're almost there I can even see the end of it." Charlie said indignantly.

"Well I bet this trip is easy for you because you are never even tired." Luster Dawn groaned.

"Well, that's because I go to fitness first in shopping centers in Sydney." Charlie replied, and Luster Dawn got bewildered by the word 'Sydney'

"Pardon me but, what is Sydney?" She asked looking at him.

"Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds Port Jackson and extends about 70 km on its periphery towards the Blue Mountains to the west, Hawkesbury to the north, the Royal National Park to the south and Macarthur to the south-west." Charlie delineated.

Luster Dawn was truly flabbergasted by Charlie's interpretation of this strange state capital called Sydney. She decided to get more information from him.

"Can you tell me more about this state capital of your country?" Luster Dawn asked, and Charlie replied with a nod.

"Sure." Charlie replied with a nod. Then he began to give her some more informations about Sydney while they were walking to get rid off the amount of boredom she has "Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities, is best known for its harbour front Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs." He delineated.

Charlie then looked at her and saw that she had wide eyes. He must assume that every information he represented to her has astounded her drastically. And she had an awe experssion on her.

"Wow." She said quietly "You humans must be very wise to create some contraptions." She finished.

"Pretty much." Charlie said with a shrug "But, we are sometimes very desperate for more sophisticated technology." He said with a chuckle.

Luster Dawn giggled when she heard Charlie saying that some of his kind are very desirous for a newer and more nifty technology.

Unexpectedly, Charlie and Luster Dawn's conversation has actually made them arrive at the end of the green stream. Luster Dawn looked in front of her and saw the gates of the Changeling Kingdom. But to Charlie, it was a giant beehive.

"Well here we are, the changeling kingdom." Said Luster Dawn.

"Now this is what I call a fancy apartment." Said Charlie.

"Um Charlie, this is not an apartment, it's a Kingdom." Luster Dawn corrected him.

"I know but, I'm just saying that it looks almost as tall as an apartment back in my world."

"Okay." Luster Dawn shrugged "And also, thank you for getting rid of my boredom from your talk about your country." Luster Dawn said with a grateful smile.

"You are very welcome Luster Dawn. So, shall we enter?"

"Yes."

Then, Charlie and Luster Dawn both walked up to the front gates of the Changeling Kingdom. And to Luster Dawn's surprise, there were no guards guarding the front gate. When Charlie noticed Luster Dawn's bewildered expression, he asked "What's wrong?"

"This is weird, why is there no guards guarding here?" Luster Dawn asked perplexed.

"Have these species been arrested and enslaved by the Chinese as well?" He asked.

"Some of them yeah." Luster Dawn replied with a nod "But, the King Thorax and a couple of his kind were not, I assume they must be hiding in here somewhere." She said.

"So, should we bust through instead?" He asked.

"That is a very violent act but, we have no choice." Luster Dawn said with a shrug.

Charlie and Luster Dawn both looked in front of the gate and prepared to charge through hoping to break the gate in the process.

"Okay, on three?" Luster asked.

"Yes." Charlie replied with a nod "On three." Then they both began to count to three.

"One... two... three-"

Both Charlie and Luster Dawn were not able to charge towards the gate when a dark shadow was seen on the ground in front of them. And the shadow made Luster Dawn freeze.

"Uh oh..." Luster Dawn thought petrified.

"I think there is someone behind us." Charlie thought, but without agitation.

Charlie and Luster Dawn both slowly turned around to see who was behind them. But suddenly, they have been snatched in a giant bag by an unknown specie. And they are now being dragged into the Kingdom.

"Thorax will be pleased." Said a deep voice.

The mysterious specie has been dragging Charlie and Luster Dawn for five minutes now. Luster Dawn tried to activate her horn and blast her and Charlie free, but every time she tried to stand she falls over because of the force of the drag.

"Luster Dawn." Charlie called her.

"What?" Luster Dawn asked.

"Would you mind?"

Luster Dawn then looked down and saw that she was sitting on Charlie. She immediately blushed as red as a tomato and got off.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed with a huge blush.

"It's alright, it's a little presumptuous but, I can tolerate it." He assured her with a chuckle.

Luster Dawn then let out a relieved sigh when she heard that he can stuff that amiss event down.

Charlie was going to say something but then, the bag was pulled open and the surreptitious specie pulled them out of the bag and onto the rough floor.

"Ooof!" Charlie and Luster Dawn grunted in unison.

Charlie was the first to regain his visions. He slowly looked up and saw a very unique creature. It was a green bug with orange deer horns, it had a purple coloured chest, wings of a fly or mosquito and a very weird mane which looks nothing like a horse or pony, and it appeared to be sitting on a throne in an open area which is a little bewildering because many Castle throne rooms have roofs, but this one doesn't. Then, the creature spoke up.

"Pharynx, who are these ponies that you have brought?"

"They are intruders Thorax, I spotted them trying to break into our kingdom gates." Said a very deep voice.

Charlie then turned around and saw another buggy looking creature almost interchangeable as the one sitting on the wooden throne. But this one was dark green coloured, and it's voice was very deep like Batman or talking into a gas mask.

When the dark green bug noticed that the white alicorn wasn't looking at his brother, he immediately pushed his head forward which gave Charlie an indignant experssion. Then, Pharynx left the throne room.

"Wow, what an impertinent jerk." Charlie thought angry in his mind. Then the bug on the throne began to interrogate the ponies.

"Hello there ponies, my name is Thorax and I am the King of the Changeling Kingdom." Thorax introduced himself.

Charlie was extremely baffled for the moment when he heard that this bug thing is a King. If he is a King, then why is Twilight Sparkle a Princess? Because a King does have more power than a Princess, and maybe a little surpassing than a President. Charlie then shook all of the perplexing questions out of his head and began to introduce himself to the King.

"Hello there King Thorax, my name is Charlie Lam." He introduced himself as he stood up "And this is my friend Luster Dawn." He said as he helped Luster Dawn up, and Luster Dawn immediately bowed to the King.

"Hello there King Thorax." Luster Dawn said.

"It is nice to meet you Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn. And it is an honor to welcome you to the Changeling Kingdom." Thorax said in a polite tone which made Charlie and Luster Dawn smile.

"Huh, King Thorax is very kind. Maybe he might be able to get help us on fighting the Chinese." Charlie thought.

"So, what are you two doing here?" Thorax asked. Then, Charlie began to delineate on why they are here.

"Well you see King Thorax. The reason why me and Luster Dawn came to your Kingdom is because there has been a very petrifying and hazardous assault in your entire land." He said.

"I can tell, because many of my changeling subjects have been enslaved and captured by those deadly invaders." Thorax said with a depressed expression "And there is no way that me, my brother and my guards can go there and save the ponies, yaks, griffons, my subjects, Ocellus and many more creatures from those invaders because, they could instantly kill us with those weird dark metal things of theirs." He finished disconsolated.

"Oh, I am so sorry King Thorax." Charlie said in sorrow.

"Yeah, me too." Luster Dawn said in sorrow as well "And that is why we came here for a very simple request from you." She told him.

"And what is that request?" Thorax asked.

Charlie and Luster Dawn both smiled when they heard King Thorax wanting to ask them about their request. Then Charlie began to delineate.

Outside of the Changeling Kingdom. The Chinese military captain Zhou Chang Min has made it to the front gates of the Changeling Kingdom. He then got off his motorcycle and looked at the red and blue indicator on the tracking device that Lieutenant General Jin An Rong gave him. After surveying it for five seconds, he has found out that he is in the right location of the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn, and the infiltrator Charlie Lam.

"Kàn lái wǒ yǐjīng dàodá zhèngquè de wèizhì. (Looks like I have arrived in the correct location.)" Zhou Chang Min said as he threw the tracking device on the ground. He then rolled up his sleeves and cracked his knuckles "Guāngzé límíng, chálǐ·lín. Zhǔnbèi bèi núyì. (Luster Dawn, Charlie Lam. Prepare to be enslaved.)" He finished with a wicked smile.

After that, he walked up to the front gates and kicked it open. And the force of his kick made the gates open and hitting the walls with a loud 'ting!' noise. Then, he entered the kingdom.

Zhou Chang Min then entered the Changeling Kingdom and walked through the large hall. After walking for a minute, Zhou encountered six bugs in armour with spears in their hooves. Then one of the bug guards yelled at him.

"Do not come any more closer invader! If you do, we will resort into lethal violence!" The changeling guard yelled.

Zhou chuckled from the changeling's precipitous remark. He then pulled out his pistol from his holster with his right hand and cocked it with his left hand. Then he began to communicate with the changelings in English.

"You want to fight? Then you got yourself one."

The six changeling guards were shocked when they heard the invader speaking Equestrian, it's species language was gibberish compared to theirs. The guard leader then shook the negligible thought out of his head and focused.

"Fine then! Have it your way!" The changeling guard said in anger. Then, he looked at the five remaining guards behind him. "Make this invader pay for what he and his kind has done to us and our friends!"

"Yes sir!"

Then all six of the changeling guards charged towards the green suited invader at the same time with an incredible speed not knowing what it is capable of. Zhou responded to all of them by raising his right arm and aiming his pistol directly at the leader of the guards. He focused his aim and gripped onto the trigger.

*BANG!*

Once the gun was fired, the changeling guard leader fell onto the floor lifeless with a blood dripping hole in his head. And the five remaining changeling guards were startled when they saw their fallen captain.

"Zhǔnbèi nüèdài nín bù qiè shíjì de cuòwù! (Prepare to be maltreated you impractical bugs!)" Zhou yelled. Then he charged towards the five changeling guards.

In the Changeling Kingdom's throne room. Charlie and Luster Dawn were stopped halfway talking about their request to King Thorax. And the reason why they ceased is because of a loud bang noise was heard not far from here.

"Whoa! What was that?" Thorax asked as he got off his throne.

Luster Dawn recognized the tumultuous bang noise. It was the from a gun of the invaders that Charlie described. She then immediately hid behind him.

Charlie stepped forward in front of Luster Dawn and waited until whoever was going to appear at the entrance of the throne.

While waiting, Charlie, Luster Dawn and Thorax heard some grunting noises as well following up with some loud bang noises, blood splattering and bodies falling on the floor with a thud. Seconds later, a changeling guard was seen thrown at the entrance the throne room. He was bleeding from his head and chest. He tried to get up and flee but suddenly, another banging noise was heard and the changeling was killed. Then, a soldier with wearing a military suit, a drak protective vest and armed with a pistol walked past the dead changeling and into the throne room. And Luster Dawn began to tremble.

"Who are you invader? And how could you kill my subjects?" Thorax asked with an enraged expression. But the invader didn't reply to him, he kept his focus on the fugitive Luster Dawn and Charlie Lam.

"Hǎo ba hǎo ba, kàn lái wǒ yǐjīng zhèngshì zhǎodàole láizì àodàlìyǎ de shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín. Táolí de táowáng zhě lú sī tè límíng. (Well well well, it looks like I have officially found the infiltrator Charlie Lam from Australia. And the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn.)" Zhou said with a smile.

The voice of the soldier sent chills down to Luster Dawn and Thorax's spine. Them Charlie began to communicate with the soldier.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"A, wǒ de jǔzhǐ zài nǎlǐ? (Ah yes, where are my manners?)" Zhou Chang Min asked himself. He then began to speak to Charlie, Luster Dawn and Thorax in English "My name is Zhou Chang Min Charlie Lam, I am a military captain from the Chinese People's Liberation Army. And I have been sent here to arrest you, Luster Dawn as well the King." He said.

"Why?" Luster Dawn asked. But Zhou Chang Min disregarded her question.

"I don't even know why you would side up with these vile animals Charlie after what they have done to my country. I have read your file that the Lieutenant General gave me, and you are a very clever and astonishing M.I.T student who invents all of these very amazing gadgets and many more impressive and sagacious technologies." He said.

"I know but, what does this have to do with you trying to arrest us?" Charlie asked. And Zhou shook his head in disappointment from this question.

"I can't believe this, how would you think your parents will see you as?" Zhou Chang Min asked which made Charlie's eyes widen "You are a human, you are one of us. You are suppost to fight back all bullies and enemies just like how you are adroit with your martial art. But, you just sided with these cretinous creatures who has committed a heinous crime. Your parents would be so disappointed at a dumb son like you-"

Zhou wasn't able to finish his sentence when Charlie charged up towards him and delivered an excruciating punch to his chest. And the force of his punch made him fall on the floor resulting with a constitution on his chest. Zhou tried to get up but Charlie pinned him down with magic, and Zhou got petrified. Charlie was about to beat the soldier with no mercy but he just realized that this exertion was wrong because violence doesn't solves a problem. He then immediately deactivated his horn and backed away from Zhou. Zhou then slowly stood up and began to stagger to the exit of the Changeling Kingdom not wanting to pick up a fight with the infiltrator since he is an adroit martial arts master, and a very wise university student who is capable of inventing such technologies almost similar to theirs and various of other countries.

Charlie then turned around with a disconsolated expression when he heard the soldier mentioning about his parents.

"How the heck does this soldier know about my parents?" Charlie thought depressed.

When Luster Dawn noticed Charlie's disconsolated expression as he was about to cry. She then walked up to him and began to comfort him.

"Charlie? Are you okay?" She asked.

Charlie looked at her and said "Yes, I'm fine." Which made Luster Dawn sigh in relief, but Thorax had an enraged expression on him.

"Wait a minute, Charlie Lam, your not an alicorn?" Thorax asked with a traumatised and anger mixed expression.

"No I'm not King Thorax." Charlie replied with a shake of his head "I am a human being homo sapiens. And that soldier was actually one of my kind. I was turned into an alicorn because I wanted to succour all of you creatures and assist you all in taking your land back. So King Thorax, we really need your help." He pleaded.

Thorax responded by spreading his wings and activating his horn and glaring at them which gave Luster Dawn an 'Uh oh' expression.

"You think that I would help you when your kind killed, enslaved and slaughtered many of my changeling subjects?" Thorax asked in anger.

"King Thorax, please calm down-"

"No! Leave the throne room immediately you two! Or I will blast you all out of here!" Thorax yelled as he charged his horn even more.

When Charlie noticed Thorax's horn glowing as bright as the sun. He immediately grabbed Luster Dawn's hoof and ran to the exit of the Changeling Kingdom.

Once Charlie and Luster Dawn have made it out of the Changeling Kingdom. They immediately began to catch their breath.

"Okay seriously, what is wrong with everyone?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed in anger.

"Can't blame them. After all, I am a human. And I am not one of your kind. Not loving or peaceful." Charlie said.

Luster Dawn tried to say something else but she had nothing to add so she sighed and looked at Charlie.

"Okay so should we go to the dragon lands? Because that is our last destination and our only hope." She said.

"Yes we should. And hopefully the dragons from there are more nicer." Charlie said, then he looked down on the talisman on his chest and pressed the blue gem. Then a long blue stream was shot out of it and it shot to an area with volcanos not far from the changeling kingdom which kind of startled Charlie a little but he managed to stuff it down.

"Come on, let's go." Charlie said.

"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a nod.

After that, Charlie and Luster Dawn began to follow the blue stream to the dragons land to recruit the remaining dragons residing there and hoping that the dragons there are more kind.
