It was now morning as the sun slowly rose up, And Henry was the first to get up. As he looked around, he had noticed that Ellie was sleeping peacefully, which he thought was pretty cute. Charles had been sleeping by the bark of a tree, he had also been listening to “Failure to Success” by CG5 via his phone, which he must’ve downloaded in order to listen to offline.
Finally, Reginald had been sleeping against another bark of a tree, the only one who hadn’t been around was The Right Hand Man, but it wasn’t long before he returned.

“I’ve found a way out of the forest, the path seems to lead to a small village, and it looks like there are alot of Changelings in the town.”

“But how do you know that there are Changelings in the village, can’t they change their appearance?” Henry asked puzzled.

“I did a scan of all the lifeforms, and a good amount of them were not of pony blood, but a good way to distinguish them would be to look for any kind of toxicity or rudeness, cause the inhabitants are unusually known to be nicer than Changelings, so watch your back”

“Okay, you should let the others know when they wake up, I don’t want anything bad to happen to Ellie, Charles, or you guys, especially Ellie” Henry said, looking over at the ever so peacefully sleeping Ellie, while smiling at the sight.

“Alright, I’ll make sure of it.”

The Right Hand Man was about to leave, but then asked Henry, “Do you like Ellie?”

Henry blushed greatly, “What?! N-no, just as a friend, not like a girlfriend or anything, that would be crazy!?”

The Right Hand Man smirked and said, “It’s alright, your secret’s safe with me”

Henry calmed down and said, “Okay, thanks Right Hand Man”

The Right Hand Man nodded in response and took his leave, taking off into the sky, Henry then sat on a log, thinking when they’ll head out towards the village, his thoughts were interrupted when he heard groaning, it was coming from Reginald.

Reginald woke up, slowly opening his eyes as he asked, “Henry? Where’s the Right Hand Man?”

“He’s out right now, doing some kind of reconnaissance of the surrounding area. Plus, he found a way out of this forest, we’ll set out for it as soon as everyone’s up”

As time passed by, it was now time for them to get out of the forest, and The Right Hand Man had one last piece of advice, “These Changelings also have hostages, so don’t engage unless I mark them down, okay?”

The group nodded in unison, and followed him slowly outside of the forest, they stopped at a nearby tree to avoid being detected. Upon looking at the town ahead, they instantly noticed a Mare getting harassed, she had a well-kept mane and was crying with mascara running down her face, her coat was white and otherwise messy.

“Please, stop this madness! I just got my hair done yesterday!” The crying mare screamed out, but to no avail, the Changelings kept laughing at her, but never bothered to stop, which upset Charles greatly.

“Hey! You leave her alone, you jerks!” Charles screamed as he charged forward and punched one of the changelings, but soon was looked at by the other changelings and got into a fighting stance, and soon enough roundhouse kicked both of them onto their asses knocked out, he slowly looked over to the discomforted mare, “Are you alright, Ma’am?”

The mare slowly got up and threw herself onto Charles, hugging him and sobbing into his shoulder, while Charles patted her on the back, comforting her, which also calmed the mare down slowly, with her cries turning into light wimpers, “Thank you sir, but may I ask, who are you?” She asks looking up at him

“My name is Charles Calvin, and i’m one of the best pilots around who just saved you, who are you?” Charles asks, not breaking eye contact with her.

“My name is Rarity, and I’m the fashionista of Ponyville…” She pauses before continuing, “That was until they showed up and messed everything up, I had just gotten my hair done yesterday!”

“Hey, at least I got here before they did anything else to you, come with us and we’ll keep you safe” Charles said reassuringly

Rarity took Charles’s hand and walked with him, with Charles asking, “You’re really generous, any reason for that?”

“Well’ its probably because i’m the Element of Generosity”

“Then shouldn’t you be held captive by the Changelings already?” Charles asked, rather puzzled

“While that would be the case, my friends, who were also the Elements, helped me escape from the Changelings, had it not been for you, It would’ve all been for nothing” She states, dropping a kiss on Charles’s cheek, making him blush intensely

“Heh heh, thank you!” Charles stated nervously.

Henry then took this time to interrupt by saying, “If you two are done with your little “introduction, then we can move on and kill off the last of these Changelings.”

Ellie and The Right Hand Man both nodded and proceeded to kill off every remaining Changeling in town until there were none left. The once-littered streets of Ponyville were now filled with nothing but Changeling blood and bodies, corner after corner. Rarity nearly threw up at the sight of it, but Charles was there to comfort her. The group came across one last surviving Changeling, which the Right Hand Man began to interrogate.

“Are there any more of you around here?” He asked, holding the Changeling by its throat.

“I’ll... never... tell... you” The Changeling said through every breath

“Fair enough”, was what the Right Hand Man said as he charged up a laser blast from his eye, the Changeling’s expression now changed into that of fear.

“Alright I’ll talk! There’s more down at Sweet Apple Acres, just please don’t kill me!” The Changeling screamed in terror, but The Right Hand Man didn’t care, he snapped its neck without a second thought, dropping it to the ground.

“C’mon, we got some hostages to save” The Right Hand Man pointed in the direction of the farmhouse, which everyone set their eyes on.

The six of them later arrived at the farm, and approached the farm with caution. Upon walking up, they were stopped by three Changelings.

“Who are you all? This is our territory, so you all better skedaddle or we’ll make you” One of them said without fear, but Henry quickly shut him up by decapitating the Changeling, which scared the other two, but were soon blasted by Right Hand Man’s laser.

The hostages soon stood to their feet and applauded their heroes, which earned one phrase from Henry, which was, “You are all free to go!”. And with that, all the hostages returned to their homes in Ponyville and it slowly started to rebuild itself.

But little did they know that a Changeling that was unseen had seen it all, and quickly flew to Queen Chrysalis’s Hive to report it’s findings.

“Queen Chrysalis! We’ve lost control over Ponyville, five different figures, along with one mare, have managed to retake Ponyville!”

Having heard this, Chrysalis roared, “WHAT?! But how is that possible? We had at least 75 soldiers guarding the town, and there was supposed to be zero resistance, how could five unknown figures and a mare take back Ponyville!?”

“Two of which had appeared to be robots of some kind, while the other three seemed to be normal. Three of them tore through our forces, and the other two defended the mare”

“No matter, we still control most of Equestria, nothing can stop us, we are unstoppable!” Chrysalis states, maniacally laughing on her throne
