I Am NOT Twilight Sparkle!

Thorax was in a really depressed state. After the queen had initially brought the prisoner Zack to her chambers a week ago, and ‘used’ the alicorn for a little of stress relief…and continued to do so for the whole week! And time and time again, Thorax had protested in the treat to the alicorn, as he knew she did not being the queens new personal pleasure tool.

But the lone changeling was always ignored, or occasional beaten down by either the guards that came for Zack, or the queen herself whenever she decided to retrieve the alicorn. And the failed attempts to try and protect his new friend, has only made the small changeling feel more useless than he already did, which grew when Zack was returned in a sweaty, white stained heap, body reeking of sex, anger, sweat, shame, and sadness. And each time the aircon was returned, Thorax did what he could to help her, from cleaning her up, helping expel the queens ‘gift’ from the pony, and just trying to comfort the mare.

At least the changeling felt a little useful as he was able to do this much for alicorn…but it still didn’t make Thorax feel much better in not being able to help his lone friend.

And yet…Zack never seems to blame him, and even thanks him for trying to be there for her. In fact it seems that the alicorn actually seeks out the changelings presence, waking up and looking for Thorax, and when upon returning to the prison, the pony craves for that simple embrace of concern and tender care. Because she knew that Thorax was the only thing that made her feel safe.

~~~~~

Today would mark the first day of the third week that Zack would be a prisoner of the Hive, and again Thorax slowly pulls himself out of his bed before the sun has even risen in the horizon. As the changeling rises from his bed, and stumbles about in his small rocky hovel, the small male pulls on a rope that on the far wall where a small gush of hot water came pouring out into a large tub, where Thorax quickly dipped himself into and just rolled around to wash his body before hopping out, and shaking himself dry. Once the changeling has cleaned himself, and ate an apple and a large carrot but as he reached for the food he noticed something. He wasn’t hungry. And not just hungry for actual food, but for emotion as well. But that was impossible, changelings are always hungry, and yet for some reason thorax doesn’t feel like he needed to eat anything right now. In fact, for the past four days, Thorax could actually recall not feeling hungry in the slightest. So the changeling withdrew his hoof from the food cabinet, and just made his way to his huts entrance.

Thorax then left his little hovel and flew off towards the prison to begin his work, and as he was flying about the aches and pains of his body started to spring back up. but the changeling tried to ignore his bodily aliments and just continued flying towards the prison. And as the changeling flew to his post, several other changelings whisper to one another as they gesture towards him, whatever it is they were whispering Thorax could probably accurately guess. Which were either some kind of mockery about how much a changeling he isn’t, or something else.

But as he landed in front of the prison and the wall opened up, Thorax heard something…a struggle!

“Get off me!” Zack shouted, causing Thorax to run into the prison as he heard someone else speak.

“Not until I have my fun.”

Thorax found his fellow guard Chiton forcing himself on the bounded alicorn. Flank raised as the other changeling tried to insert himself into her. Chiton grinned as he pressed the flare of his cock against Zack’s vaginal entrance. But before Zack could protest, or Chiton could fully insert into the alicorn, Thorax tackled his fellow changeling and knocking him to the floor.

“What the—”

“STAY AWAY FROM HER!” Thorax shouted as he bared his fangs and gave an angered hiss at Chiton.

“What are you doing Thorax, ruining my fun like that?”

“She doesn’t want this Chiton, now leave!”

“You think you could just barrage in here, and try and take this from me!” Chiton hissed back as the two changelings squared off against one another, while Zack could only just lie there on the floor and watch the two males hiss and snarl at each other.

Giving another loud hiss, Chiton charged at Thorax, where they butted heads with one another, horns scraping against each other. but Chiton was far bigger and stronger than Thorax, so it was easy for him to toss the littler male to the side, but Thorax just got right back up and continued to tackle his fellow changeling! Horn met horn, fangs bite and scrapped against carapace, and hole covered hooves kicked and bucked, as the two males continued to fight one another. And despite Thorax being smaller and weaker, something deep inside him spurred him on to fight like he’s never fought before. With one final bout of energy Thorax bit down on Chiton’s throat, and with strength not normal for him reared up and tossed the other changeling out of the cell, slamming right into the wall with the force knocking him unconscious.

Chiton let out a small groan of pain as he slides down the wall, while Thorax stood there in the cell, eyes narrows, and wings splayed…sparkling as if they had bits of gems embedded in them. After Thorax watched the other changeling drop to the ground, he then felt the rush of adrenalin leave his body, making him feel heavier, but he managed to stay on his hooves and turned to look over at Zack. Who was looking at Thorax with a mixture of bewilderment and awe, as well as high-levels of gratitude.

“You alright Zack?” Thorax asked as he used his magic to remove the slim restraining the alicorn.

“Y-yeah…I’m fine.” Zack said as she sat up. “Thanks for coming to my rescue, that guy just barged into the cell, and tried to fuck me.”

“I’m sorry I wasn’t—oof!” Thorax collapsed to the ground as the aches and pains from before, mingled with his new injuries.

“Thorax!” Zack rushed over to the smaller male, and wrapped him in her forelegs and wings.

“I’m fine.” Thorax weakly said.

“Your covered in bruises, and have bite marks oozing green blood. So no, your not fine.” Zack said as she feels said blood staining her chest, while looking over the small males bruised body.

But as she did so, a sense of…longing started to swell within her, and for some reason Zack was starting to feel like she was in a sauna that was just warming up. As for Thorax, as he laid against the alicorn his nose started to twitch. A strange smell tickling his nose, it was spicy, tangy, but it was also, alluring. That’s when Thorax realized what the smell was after lingering in for a while.

‘OH SNAP! She’s in heat! No wonder Chiton—’ Thorax’s train of thought was cut off when he saw Zack’s face slowly reached down to his. “W-w-wait, Zack! We c-can’t—” the small changeling was silenced when Zack placed her forehead on his.

“You need to calm down Thorax, otherwise you’ll just make your condition worst.” Zack said in a comforting tone, using her wings to gently caress over his beaten carapace.

“Zack…are you, feeling, alright?” the changeling asked as the mare continues to hold him, forehead pressed against his.

“I feel a little tingly, and a little pissed off and worried, but other than that I feel fine.”

“Are you sure?” Thorax asked.

“Thorax, if you have something to say then say it.” Zack said as she pulled her face away.

“Your heat isn’t getting to you, is it?”

“Heat?” Zack repeated as a confused look came over her face. “What do you mean by heat?”

“Well, it’s just that Spring has just started, and ponies—”

“Wait! I never read anything about ponies being able to go into heat.” Thorax lifted himself off of the alicorn and looked at her with a serious look.

“Well they do. And if your in heat, and if the queen continues to use you they she has been…” a cold shiver ran down both their spines, but with Zack, an overwhelming sense of dread came over her. “That’s it!” the changeling said as he gets to his hooves.

“That’s what?” the alicorn asked.

“I’m getting you out of here.”

“What do you mean?” Zack questioned.

“Seeing you be taken away, me being unable to help you, and having you come back crying in my hooves…I’m tired of seeing my only friend be treated like this.” Thorax then used his magic to severe the chain that was attached the mare’s hind leg. Before the alicorn could say anything else, Thorax pulled Zack to her hooves and out of the cell.

“Thorax! We’re going to get caught, and if we do they’re only going to make things worse for you!” Zack said as she tried to stop Thorax.

“Not if we’re careful.” Thorax said.

“It’s still early in the morning, so early that most of the hive is still asleep, even if Chiton causes a fuss if we act quickly I can get you out of the Hive so you can fly away.”

Zack thought for a moment about the possible risks, but after looking at the determined expression on the changelings face, she nodded her head and followed Thorax. The two slowly exited the prison, and began to make their way through the Hive as quietly as they could, hiding behind rocks and pillars whenever Thorax sensed another changeling was nearby. So far things seemed to be going well enough, as the pair has been able to sneak past any changelings that they came across.

As they traveled through the Hive, Thorax couldn’t help but feel his body quake, as the alluring scent of Zack’s heat was stirring something within him. but the changeling shook the thoughts out of his head, and continued to guide his friend through the Hive. There were a few moments along the way thought that were a rather close call, especially when Thorax saw one or two other changelings sniff the air when they caught whiff of Zack’s heat, but they managed to make their way to where what would be a castle’s main lobby would be without being caught.

“We’re almost there Zack.” Thorax whispered as he and the alicorn were hiding behind a pillar with a low overhang covering them from anyone that would be able to see them.

“Once we get through that wall, all you have to do is fly as fast as you can.”

“But what about you Thorax, these changeling would probably beat you till you can’t walk, or worst for helping me to escape!” Zack said with worry for her jailer friend, that’s when an idea suddenly came to her mind. “Why don’t you come with me, at least you’ll be safe from a beating, and have a better life than here.”

“I…can’t.”

“Why not Thorax?” Zack questioned.

“Even if I did go with you, the ponies would never accept me. they’d just force me to leave, or just toss me in a cell like my kind did with you.”

“Not if I have anything to say about it!” Zack said in a very protective tone, still in a whisper to make sure they weren’t heard.

“For two weeks Thorax, you have done everything you can to make my time here easier, and you’ve been there to comfort me after your bitch of a queen has used me for her own amusement…you are one of the few people I can clearly say that I consider a friend, actually, NO! I’m confident enough to call you my best friend.”

“R-really?!” Thorax said with surprise.

“Really.” Zack said as she used a wing to wrap the changeling in a hug. “And if any of the ponies have a problem with it, they’ll have to deal with me!” a few tears started to swell up in the changelings eyes, before they were wiped away with a holed hoof.

“Okay. I’ll go with you. no matter where it is, at least I’ll have you by my side.”

The pair then took one last cautious look around the lobby, seeing the only four guards standing at the entrance fly off in a rather big hurry. If Thorax had to guess, they’ve might have received a high priority message, no doubt that Zack is missing from the prison. Quickly the pair galloped towards the entrance, the wall opening up to allow the sun to shine in their faces…but the smiles on their faces vanished almost instantly, as they were meet with a platoon of guards…and Queen Chrysalis standing in front of them. with the queen looking smugly down at the pair.

“You know, I honestly thought that you would’ve made it here much later, but look at you being so sneaky and efficient.” Chrysalis chortled as the two slowly backed away.

“H-how did—”

“I know that you would attempt to break the prisoner out?” Chrysalis said smugly. “I was actually on my way to retrieve my little toy when I saw you two emerge from the prison, and decided to see how far you would get.” the queen then looked at the guards before gesturing towards the pair.

“Subdue the mare…and teach the traitor what happens for aiding in the escape of a prisoner!”

Six changelings tackled Zack from behind, using their combined strength and goo to restrain her, despite her attempts to struggle free. As for Thorax…he was tackled, tossed around, bit and kicked by his fellow changeling, all of them laughing as they bullied and beat down the small male. Thorax tried to fight back, but the group of twelve guards overpowered and overwhelmed him so his efforts were virtually pointless.

“NO!” Zack shouted as she tried to break out of her restraints, wanting to save her friend before the other changelings could greatly injury Thorax, but the goo would not give!

“LEAVE HIM ALONE!” Zack shouted one last time as she watched Thorax be back so hard to his side where it developed a small crack, and have blood trickle out! But none of the changelings or the queen listened to her.

“Traitors must be punished for going against the will of the Hive!” Chrysalis snarled as watches Thorax continued to be beaten around like a small smack.

“NO! please stop this, they’ll kill him!” Chrysalis just gave the alicorn a wicked grin as she looked at the alicorn.

“It is what he deserves.” Zack turned back to look at Thorax, seeing him all beat up and having blood oozing from his wounds, before shifting her sights to one of the guards rearing up on his hind legs…ready to stomp down on Thorax with his front legs.

“END THIS!” the changeling was about to do so, but…

“NO!!!!!” Zack screamed with such volume that she managed to knock back all the guards dogpiling her, and the ones that were close to Thorax, including the one that was about to smash his hooves onto the beaten down male.

“P-please…let him go…and I’ll…do whatever you want me to do…” the guards, after they recovered, looked towards their queen who just looked at Zack for a few moments, before looking at Thorax.

“Very well.” Chrysalis said as she trotted past the beaten down changeling. “Take the prisoner back to her cell, I’ll allow her to rest up before bringing her to my chambers.”

“Yes my queen.” One of the guards said before looking to Thorax. “What should we do with this traitor?”

“Leave him. as of this moment, Thorax is no longer part of the Badlands Hive.”

The other changelings looked at Thorax for a second, before flying or trotting back to their original post’s before the queen pulled them from them. the six males that gooed up Zack then gathered her up in her makeshift cocoon, and flew her back to her cell, with a mournful look on her face.

As for the beat down and bloody Thorax, he continued to lay there in the dirt, his blood drooling from his wounds and mouth as the morning sun glares down upon him. with very shaky and weaken legs, Thorax slowly raised himself up and tried to stand, but the injuries that coat his body caused him to buckle and drop to the ground. a very painful cry escaping his mouth before a spurt of green blood followed with a few coughs. But the coughs soon devolved into sobs as Thorax laid there, eyes starting to overflow with tears.

“I’m s-sorry Zack…” Thorax sobbed. “I’m s-sorry I failed to h-help you, again.”

As time passed to where it was now close to high noon, Thorax was finally able to get to his hooves, legs and body shaking as he did so. After getting to his hooves, Thorax glanced at the changeling Hive, before shambling off into the distance, limping every step of the way. Reaching the very edge of the changelings wasteland boarder, Thorax took one final look at the Hive over his shoulder, his look of depression slowly turning to one of determination.

“I’ll be back Zack; I’ll bring back help to get you out of there. just please…hang in there and wait for when we come back.”

Thorax then shambled his way into the forest that was on the boarder, his destination already in mind to find ponies that would be the best option to help save his friend. But after a few minutes of walking, the changeling succumbed to his injures and the amount of blood he lost, and once again fell to the ground as he began to lose consciousness.
