(Commission for: Superfan, who asked for more fatal digest stuff, this time with anthro Starlight Glimmer eating Chrysalis, originally with her shrinking, but then I suggested she transformer into food. He still asked for swallowed whole. This time, he placed no limits on how long this would be, and so I made this. I think he enjoyed it, and I hope you do as well. 50 USD)

The castle was quiet at the moment. That was to be expected. It was the middle of the night after all. No one was awake, save a few astronomers that Twilight had invited over, and those were in the western tower, observing a shower of stars from the fifth house down into the third, their quills dancing as they drew sketches and discussed theorems on astrology an the like.

Starlight Glimmer, for all that her name sounded like she should be interested, was honestly bored of the whole lot of them. Mares and Stallions more than a decade her senior(And hadn't it been a shock to find out how old Twilight and her friends were?), discussing dry things, rather than the important stuff like how Mana Flow would be affected by the new star formations being born.

She had excused herself from Twilight Sparkle's little stargazer group, and made her way back into the castle, her eyes wandering here and there, as she readied some of the guest rooms for their...well their guests. Luckily, the place was kept in good condition, a combination of a very driven dragon and some magical crystals that made the place up, so none of the rooms needed more than being unlocked.

Well, almost none of them. One of the doors to the largest guestroom in the west wing was stuck. Starlight sighed, knowing that one of the old fogies' would demand such accommodations(They wouldn't...but that was more because they weren't planning on sleeping at all), and so she rattled the lock with her magic a few times, before doing things the Applejack way, and to the farm with the consequences.

Luckily, her friendship lessons with the blonde mare had paid off, and her kick shattered part of the lock on the door, sending a few shards of crystal flying into the room. This was her only salvation, as the shards caused the intruder in the darkness to start a bit, and Starlight saw her before she could cast a single spell, the unicorn quickly teleporting out of the way, as a flash of green filled the room.

Flames, sickly looking compared to Spike's, crackled as the spell touched down in the corridor, leaving Starlight to stare, her eyes widening, as she recognized that magic, and watched as a towering black form stepped out of the room, her face lit by the horrid fires of her magic, showing a feral look to her emerald eyes as she looked towards her prey.

Starlight heard her start to talk. Villains, speeches? Celestia, was she ever this hammy? Don't answer that. Regardless of the answer, Queen...former Queen, currently Fugitive Chrysalis was in the middle of pontificating about how her vengeance would be sweeter than honey, and she would see the mare before her broken and beaten before this night was done. Blah, blah, blah.

She got, maybe, a small monologue going, before Starlight suddenly teleported, not to Twilight, which would have been the smart thing, probably, but instead right above Chrysalis, and she body slammed the bug into the ground, hearing the satisfying crack as one of her legs gave under the sudden assault of weight settling onto it, not breaking it, sadly, but making the bug woman cry out in pain as the two toppled to the floor in a heap.

By the time she had a spell ready to fling at the mare on her back, Starlight had teleported again, this time right in front of her, causing the Fugitive to redirect her energy into a shield as she got back to her feet, one pointed right at the unicorn before her, rather than being omni directional, something Starlight grinned at. Apparently Chrissie thought this was going to be a drawn out fight, and was saving her energy.

She debased her opponent of such delusions by teleporting again, a feat that would have exhausted most ponies, holding two spells, bit only leaving her a bit winded, as she appeared right in front of the bit...witch, and let loose her arcane fury, the blast of blue magic surging up into her carapace and finding every nook and cranny in it, sending the black bug flying upwards.

She slammed satisfyingly into the ceiling, and, just like Rainbow's comic told her to do, she teleported again, appearing right above her, and slamming into her back with a kick as powerfully as she could, letting their combined weight literally smash the bug against the floor, her body going limp for a second, as Starlight teleported once again, this time landing right on her feet in front of her.

Starlight was prepared for another attack, her magics, drained from four teleports and a blast in less than a minute, but still able to make a small shield. Luckily, it seemed she'd done a better job than that alien pony thing from the planet of monkey ponies, and her opponent, rather than talking about forms and power levels, was in fact, out cold, her breathing coming in sharp, painful gasps.

Starlight Glimmer, the student of Twilight Sparkle, was a bit concerned she'd gone too far with this, as Chrysalis twitched a bit, even out cold in obvious pain, as she grunted, and her eyes tightly shut, trying to keep her asleep as her body dealt with the injuries, her changeling magic healing her before Starlight's eyes, which made her want to go grab a book and start writing things down.

Starlight Glimmer, former...well Cult Leader, and not very nice mare, who was friends with both Trixie, Discord, and Pharynx(through his brother Thorax) was considering her options on how to squash this bug once and for wall, maybe sending her head over to the two brothers. She was sure one of them would display it proudly over the throne...or maybe turn it into a toilet or something, both good options.

Sadly...happily...she shook her head, she wasn't either of those things, but Starlight knew she couldn't do the second one. Not while Twilight was in the castle, and so she gathered her magic again, taking time to weave the spell as her own magics recovered, and slowly began to thread three spells together, as she'd done accidentally/on purpose a few weeks ago.

Fiducia Compelus wove itself into Cogeria while Persuadere slowly wrapped itself around the two, the spell forms tying together in ways the originators of their forms likely never intended. The spell matrix was unstable, of course, and would leave whoever it was cast one with a terrible headache, but it was a sacrifice she was willing to make, as she cast the combined bit of magic.

The spell weave floated through the air, wispy white tendrils snaking their way into Chrysalis' body. The stuff went straight for her face, of course, moving into her ears, mouth, and forcing her eyes open, allowing Starlight to watch as the shimmering emerald eyes turned a much duller shade, as her will was suppressed, and Starlight's took command.

"Okay...let's see if this worked. Stand up," she commanded, wondering if Chrysalis, a being with some pretty potent mind control spells herself(If Shining Armor was to be believed) would have some kind of defense against this particular combination of the mind arts. Luckily, she didn't seem to, pushing herself off the ground, rising to her feet, not even wobbling, as she stood straight up, and stared at her blankly down at the shorter mare.

"Good, good...now we need a place to keep you for the moment. Does this place have an dungeons?" she asked allowed, trying to fill the space, as she was still coming off a combat high, and really, really didn't want to lose focus while she had one of the most dangerous criminals in the land under her thrall, leaving her with few options other than to force herself to stay awake.

"Oh, this would be so much easier if I hadn't skipped dinner tonight, but no, I had to turn down that slop those geezers like. Not like I can pop down for a burger at that fast food place this late either," she complained, more to herself, even pinching her forearm as she tried to get some adrenaline flowing again, and leaving her with her eyes closed, as green flashed.

Shooting her blue orbs back open, she thought, for a moment, she'd been tricked, and Chrysalis was going to attack her, but when she looked around, she instead saw the bug lady had vanished, leaving her alone in the hallway, making her even more worried that she'd let her get away. Her mind raced with tracking spells and the like, but on casting her simplest one, it pinged right in front of her, and Starlight looked down.

On the floor in front of her was a burger...not a great one, it was just a bun and a patty, but it was a burger nonetheless, one that hadn't been there a moment ago, making her wonder just what was going on, as she crouched down, and tentatively, reached for the food item, the bun feeling soft, and slightly warm as she pressed into it with a finger.

Growing curious, she leaned forward, and scooped up the food item with one hand, standing up, and holding it in front of her, looking it over, and finding it was...strange. It wasn't a bun and a patty, not really. It was a single piece, solidish, but made to look like a burger, and she cast a spell to determine what it was made of, only to get the most absurd result back.

Well...absurd at first, but then she thought about it. Her spell had caused the other members of the so-called 'Mane 6' to take her orders, even off-hand remarks that could be considered orders, as literally as possible, without any thought to what they were doing to themselves, and it stood to reason that Chrysalis had simply been acting in the exact same way.

She couldn't teleport a food item to them, not since she didn't know what it was specifically Starlight wanted, so instead, she'd transformed into it...like, she'd changed shape into a burger, and Starlight was holding the former Queen of the Changeling race in her hands, like she was a pony about to have a midnight snack before heading to bed.

Starlight was shocked enough by this sequence of events that she almost summoned Twilight to her. It wouldn't have taken much effort. Heck, she was surprised the Alicorn hadn't felt the magical battle, quick as it had been, she'd had with Chrysalis and already come down to find out what was going on, and then Starlight could offer her a bit of a snack she'd found and...

No, no, she wouldn't do that to Twilight. All the time, Twilight, Princess of Friendship, had talked about forgiving her enemy, for everything she'd done, and letting her hatred go so literally feeding her Chrysalis, even if she never told her would just be a downright awful thing to do, even if it would probably be the funniest and most morally right thing.

That was when her stomach decided to grumble, reminding her of the missed meal, and her nostrils flared, as she smelled the food item in her hands...the not food item rather. Would it be so wrong for her to do this? Would it be so awful to just take one bite? Maybe? No, no, she couldn't do that, she couldn't bite into someone like that.

But this was someone really evil, someone who had rejected redemption, not once, but so many times, and made her people suffer through so much needlessly. She would eat this burger, and dispose of Chrysalis. Then they would all be spared her bringing evil into their lives, and maybe pulling off this whole ambush thing later. No, she had made this bed, and now Starlight was going to make her lie in it, for the rest of her life.

That thought, that last little thought, seemed to shatter whatever inhibitions that Starlight might have had. She opened her mouth, and brought the burger up to it, feeling it sort of twitch a little, as her teeth started to brush against the top and bottom buns, and she slowly closed her jaws, letting the edges of her teeth start to press into it...only to stop.

Not because she wasn't going to go through with it, but because two of the spells in her mind control matrix had pain as the thing that broke them. If she bit into Chrissie, and she turned out to be fine, maybe able to somehow influence the bit in Starlight's mouth, like turning it into some kind of weapon, than Starlight would be screwed.

That thought caused her to consider just ending this, maybe tossing this thing into a trash can, and forgetting all about this, as Chrysalis would remember what she'd just done, and she really, really didn't want her telling anybody about it, and be believed, so if she brought it up the next time they met, Starlight would just say she was delusional or something.

Those thoughts were brushed aside, as Starlight's jaws stretched out, and she flattened her tongue a bit, making as much space in her mouth as possible, and then slowly pushing the burger, all of it, into he muzzle. She felt...powerful doing this, she felt her body shudder, as the food item twitched, her mind trying to break free of the spell, and failing, as she became a snack.

In a moment, Starlight closed her teeth, the edges sort of nipping at the sides of the burger, but not quite biting into it, instead sealing behind her, closing the snack in her jaws, and leaving her to stand there, the sheer adrenaline rush of her actions making her cry out around her muzzelfull, the muffled noise echoing over the hall as she stood there.

It would have been difficult, if not impossible to do this, without Pinkie Pie's help, but she licked at the food item in her mouth, not quite mushing it up, just in case, but wetting it down, spreading the flavor of it, which was surprisingly good, over her tongue, before she finally got it down towards the back of her mouth, and tilted her head back, giving a hard swallow.

The bulge in her neck was visible, easily, but it was also quickly descending, vanishing into her chest, as she placed her hand against it, feeling it, enjoying the way it felt to have this life in her power, and knowing she was going to take it. This was such a high that she almost felt like starting a cult about it...only to realize what she'd just thought and banish it.

She let the weight of it pass into her body, and then vanish into her chest. It dropped into her stomach, and Starlight began to massage it with her hands, her fingers dancing over her flesh, as she wondered what it was like in there, and if the spell would break. Would Chrysalis have the power to break out or something, or was she trapped in there.

The mare didn't get an answer, instead she heard her stomach gurgle, as she rubbed against it, feeling a sort of tickle inside her. The bug la...no the burger she'd eaten was settling, and soon enough, she had to open her mouth, otherwise she would have exploded, as her lips parted, and she tilted her head back, waiting for something to come bursting out of her.

Her belch echoed up and down the halls, the doors rattling a little, and making her blush as it calmed down, and she finally felt satisfied. Chrysalis was no more of a problem that a bit of indigestion later, if even that, she smirked to herself, while giving her stomach a sharp rap, and then starting back down the hall, using her magic to repair the door as she got back to it, so no one would ever know.

It was half an hour later, her stomach no longer quite so active, that Starlight finally made it back to her own bed, and slipped under the covers, smiling to herself. She had had a thought while finishing her rounds, and wondered, as she drifted off to sleep, if maybe Discord could bring Chrysalis back, with perhaps a slightly gentler personality, with the original gone the way of all food items. That thought was comforting, as she closed her eyes.
