The United Griffon Front

Both Cadence and Twilight Sparkle was riding the royal U.G.F. carriage thanks to Dark Razor as they was going to the griffinstone castle. The carriage itself was made out of royal purple wood with golden outlines and black wheels. There was a brown male griffin as the driver but what was pulling it was two timber wolves. The two royal princesses mean while had some good dresses to wear in front of the new griffin emperor. Cadence was wearing a light blue dress with a cut on the right side of the skirt also showing her whole right leg. As for Twilight she was wearing a snowy white dress with matching elbow gloves. Both of the alicorn mares was quite during the ride until Cadence sees Twilight's face of worry as she was looking out of the window and when Cadence look out the window she understands Twilight's worry. Outside there were ponies, both mares and stallions, with collars around their necks and was bearly wearing anything. The stallions had only light brown loincloths and nothing else while the mares had transparent loincloths on including transparent bikini tops showing their marehooods and nibbles which made the princess of love blush a little. Then she noticed that the unicorns had a small sliver ring at the base of their horns and that makes her to believe that those rings are magic blocking rings to stopped any unicorn from using magic against any griffin master or mistress for the rest of their lives.

Then Cadence noticed that both the pegasus and bat ponies has black leather straps to keep their wings folded on their backs. Soon Cadence went back to her sister-in-law. "Don't worry Twilight we will find a way to free them."

"I hope so." Twilight said. "But this is more than the slaves out there Cadence. This is the first time that all of the griffin kingdoms have united under one leader and no griffin has ever done that since the first griffin empire over five thousand years ago. I just worry that we could cause a war that would be the end of equestria itself."

"Like l said Twilight don't worry we will do everything to make sure that doesn't happen at all."

Then the griffin driver spoked up. "Your highnesses we are coming to the castle." That got both of the alicorn mares to look out of the window once more and sure enough there was the royal castle of the United Griffin Front with its solid steel walls, it's 50 foot high towers, and massive draw bridge with spikes. As they was four feet away from the castle the draw bridge lower down across a ten foot wide and 15 feet deep mote that was all around the whole castle. As they were crossing the bridge both Cadence and Twilight noticed that the mote had moray eels, caiman crocodiles, and water moccasins all swinging together in the mote which made both of the alicorn mares to 'gump' in fear. Soon they were in the courtyard and they see three creatures standing next to the large double doors that is the way inside the castle. The first creature was Dark Razor himself wearing his jabe chest plate, his amulet, and his chainmail loincloth. Right next to him was his student Gallus wearing his new black bottom up shirt with a capital G on the left side of the shirt, also wearing a chainmail loincloth like Dark Razor only that this one is a very dark blue. The last creature is something that both Cadence and Twilight don't saw coming. It was a changeling queen with blood red mane and tail but she don't have any holes in her arms and legs including her horn like the changeling Queen Chrysalis. She was wearing a scarlet dress with a cut on the right side of her skirt like Cadence's and on the changeling queen's leg was a white fishnet socking and most likely she is wearing a other one on her other leg.

Soon the carriage stopped at a small claim of stairs and both of the alicorn mares got out. After walking up the stairs both parties bowed each other in respect and went back up. "Hello your majesty." Twilight Sparkle said. "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville and this is my sister-in-law Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire."

"Greetings I am Dark Razor of the United Griffin Front." Then he subsisted to the young griffin next to him. "This here is my student Gallus." Then the changeling queen. "And last this here is my ally Queen Scarlett of the crimson changeling hive."

"It is a pleasure to finally meet the princess who defeated my big sister." Queen Scarlett said shaking Twilight's hand who was completely confused at the words of the female changeling.

"What your big sister."

As Scarlett was fixing to answered Dark Razor cut in front of her. "I believe that we should take take this inside. And don't worry about your bags my slaves will take them to your leaving quarters." Then all five of them was going inside with Cadence and Twilight looking over their shoulders to see some poor ponies grabbing their bags off the carriage before they were forced to go back inside by spear point right before the double doors closed behind them. As they were walking the alicorn princesses can see how much this place was protected with two guards at almost each door and the large number of crossbow sharpshooters on the towers. Soon they ranched a room with the door already open to show a room with tan color carpet, light blue painted walls, a small coffee table in the center, a cart with drinks on the right side, and five black leather chairs in a circle around the coffee table. "Please have a site." Soon all but one was taking a chair while Gallus was going to the drink cart and after making sure that the alicorn mares were busy sitting down Gallus took out a couple of blue pills from one of his shirt pockets and dropped them in two cups before grabbing a pitcher of red wine and filled up five glasses. After that the young griffin put the drinks on a sliver pleader, walked back to the others before giving the drinks starting with the two princesses.

"Thank you." Twilight said to the young griffin before facing the changeling queen again. "I wasn't suspecting a changeling queen will be here and what do you mean by your big sister."

"Let me answer your first question." Queen Scarlett said. "Emperor Dark Razor here found my hive hiding in the volcano wastelands after he conquered the western griffin kingdom and offered me and my hive something that we couldn't pass up."

"And what was that." Cadence asked as she and Twilight take the first sip of their drinks.

"The slave trade. You see not like the other changelings you met before, my hive feast on the emotion know as 'lust'. Before the trade my hive was staving because the griffins wanted nothing but to fight among themselves. Now thanks to the slave mares we get from my ally here we crimson changelings are now more full stomachs in the hive than ever before." That got both Cadence and Twilight to blush after Queen Scarlett said the two words 'slave mares' which means to them only one thing but they don't have the stomach to bring it up. "And as your second question my big sister is or was Queen Chrysalis."

"WHAT." Both alicorn mares yelled out in shock.

"Yes Chrysalis was always a bit pigheaded and never can get the job done right.''

Then Twilight asked. "What do you mean by 'was' your big sister. If l remember correctly Chrysalis got away after Thorax became king." That got Scarlett to smirk before she used her crimson color magic to open a very small portal right next to her. Then she ranched inside to grab something and pulls it out before closing the portal. What was in her hand was a all too familiar black horn with holes in it. Twilight stared at the horn in pure horror before going back to the changeling queen. "Is t-that the h-h-horn."

"Of my big sister yes. After my nephew over throw her l was managed to found her hiding in the Everfree forest and after getting the dropped on her, after cutting her horn and right leg off with my twin hatches, Chrysalis was begging to me to spar her life but that's not the changeling way. We are creatures that live in the old saying 'kill or be killed' so after finishing her off l was managed to found all of the changelings that don't change under Thorax's rule and put them under 'my' rule of the crimson hive.'' Then there was a knocking at the door. "Ahh he's right on time. Come in." Then the door opens and a changeling comes inside and closed the door behind him. This changeling looked different from the unchanged changelings Cadence and Twilight saw. This changeling has purple eyes, red fins, and a purple shell on his back. He also had no holes in him like Queen Scarlett. And him was wearing red leather chest armor with golden steel studs in three rows, a crimson red steel helmet, gauntlets of the same color and mental, the same thing to his boots, and a black chainmail loincloth. "This here is my older nephew Pharynx."

"Your majesties." Pharynx said with a small bow the two pony princesses look at the changeling in complete confusion.

"I don't know that Thorax has a big brother." Cadence said as she just finished the last of her drink as well Twilight did so too.

"Yeah well um." Pharynx was trying to find the right words as he couldn't help but to stare at the princess of love and her lovely body. "You see me and Thorax were always getting trouble with our mother. After Thorax took over l kinda like the old ways then the new ones my little brother is making but he completely understands why l joined our aunt's hive and he is okay with that." Then he turned his head to the side while trying to hide his blushing face but Queen Scarlett can see it very clearly.

"Well l guess the changeling affair is now out of the way l like to talk about a different subject.... Your so called slave trading." Cadence pointed out and it was Dark Razor who answered her.

"Ahh yes. You see after l claim the throne in Griffinstone my people was suffering from a deadly sickness that causing countless deaths. I was forced to use all of the gold of my kingdom and give it to the king of the zebra territories in order to have the medicine to cure my people. After that we were flat broke until l came up with a idea to bring the money back."

"The slave trading." Twilight asked.

"Indeed. The kingdoms of the zebras, minotaurs, and dragons have a need for slaves and all l have to do is to captured all of the ponies that was living in my territories and sell them to the highest bidder."

"But we couldn't help you by giving you the medicine without you giving us your money."

"True but every single one of the noblemen and l do mean every single one believes that getting the medicine from you without a cost would make us look weak to the other griffin kingdoms and would most likely would make them attack us. Plus l know that the other kingdoms was thinking about taking over my kingdom after being weaken from the sickness so what better way to make sure that doesn't happen is to make the kings and queens to fight me in a one on one fight to the death. And after l killed the first two leaders my expansion became a idea to bring back the griffin empire from the sands of time."

"That and both of my parents was among the dead." Gullus said. "After the sickness was finally cured l was staving in the streets. I had no aunts, no uncles, no grandparents, not even siblings to take me in. If it wasn't for Dark Razor l could be dead about now." Both of the alicorn mares can't help but to feel sorry for the young griffin along with a few tears.

After drying up her tears Cadence spoke again. "I am sorry that what both of your peoples had to go through." She said to both the drakegriff emperor and the changeling queen. "But surly you know that having slaves is...."

CLANK

Cadence didn't finish as she heard a cup falling and she turned to her right to see a sleeping Twilight with her cup on the ground. "What in the..." Cadence said until all of a sudden she begins to feel very sleepy and before her world was nothing but darkness the last thing she saw was a smirking drakegriff.

Dark Razor look at the sleeping alicorn mares before he turned to his ally. "And that's done l give the one and only princess of love for your army in the coming attack against Equestria."

"And l will keep to that deal." Queen Scarlett said before looking the sleeping pink alicorn mare one more time before looking at her nephew. "And l know just what to do with her."
