Queen of the Hagfish Hive

"Y-you were never t-this strong."Myxine painfully coughs as she talks. Currently, the young Hagfish Queen finds herself pinned by her former childhood playmate. It was unbelievable how strong Ambrosia has gotten in such a short time. Indeed her ice magic could counter the Honey Queen's plant magic, but as soon as she tried freezing her in place, the older changeling brute-forced her way through.

As soon as Ambrosia got within striking range, it was all over. She used a move called ' Assault Kick,' which had her flip into the air and kick Myxine's head. And Before the younger Queen could fall to the ground, she was sent flying with another kick. Before she could fully register the pain, she was pinned down.

"I got myself a sugar daddy; it's amazing what love from a strong creature can do for you." Blood as well, but she doesn't need to know that. "And training with that same creature does wonders." As a token of thanks for teaching Raven how to control his vines better, he taught Ambrosia 'Assult Kick'. It was somewhat awkward using a move meant for bipedal creatures, but she made due. The only problem now was that she couldn't use the skill to its fullest without wind magic. When she asked, Raven said, ' Harness the power of the natural world.'. Ambrosia was getting off track and brought her attention back to Myxine. "So~ tell me what happened."

Myxine grits her teeth in frustration but relents. "Fine! That stupid monkey comes out of nowhere, starts a fight with an Alicorn, and next thing my hive and I know, Horseshoe Bay is swarming with Royal guards. Without food or nowhere to go, I decided to get revenge on that stupid monkey!" The Hagfish Queen turned her head to the side, trying to hide her eyes with her hair, not wanting anyling to see her cry. Even before Chrysalis foolishly exposed herself to the world, making ends meet has been challenging. And now? It's been hellish with the ponies being paranoid and made worse with a walking calamity around.

There was silence as Ambrosia looked down at Myxine, giving the poor Queen a sympathetic look. It stayed like that until Raven's voice cut through the silence. " I see; I guess I'm partially responsible for this." Raven walks through the crowd of stunned Changelings. They weren't surprised by the Human per se but by the towering female Nasod next to him who floated alongside him.

Ambrosia whistled in amazement at the sight of the machine. "So that's the new toy you've been working on?" The Honey Queen looked at Maya's 'assets' and gave Raven a predatory smile. "So you like bipedal dairy farms?"

Raven inhaled sharply while Maya narrowed her eyes. The Human ignored her for now; he would choke her later. Instead, he stopped in front of Maya and got onto one knee. Myxine glared up at the Human. "I have nothing to say to you!" She spat.

"That's too bad; I have plenty of things to say to you." Raven reached into his bag and pulled out three vials of pink liquid. Every changeling in the area recognized the smell and started drooling, even Myxine. "It's almost lunchtime, so let's talk."


Somewhere in the skies of Equestria

"First Private Sentry, and First Private Crust, we'll be touching down in Our Town in minutes! Have your wingblades at the ready!"

"Yes, Ma'am!" The two other pegasuses say simultaneously.

Commander Valkyrie nodded in satisfaction. The mission Princess Celestia assigned to the three of them was an easy one.
It was a quick scouting mission, where they had to spend less than five minutes in the town and take pictures. Of course, this mission couldn't be given to just anyone; her majesty needed the fastest flyers. She had hoof picked Valkyrie, Flash Sentry, and Cherry Crust.

Under no circumstances were they allowed to stay and fight. If the three met hostility, they were ordered to retreat immediately. In the event they weren't allowed to escape, lethal force is authorized. It was why they were wearing enchanted wingblades, blades sharp enough to cut through dragon scales. Flash and Cherry were on edge, they hadn't killed before, and if they were put into such a situation, they didn't know how they would fair.

Valkyrie, on the other hoof, steeled her resolve because she knew what it took to protect Equestria. Today she will prove why she and the two rookies behind her were worthy of wearing their golden armor! The Commander narrowed her eyes as she saw the town over the horizon. " Alright, with me!" She was the first to take a sharp turn and dive down, followed by the two rookies.

The three landed in the middle of Our Town and stood tall in their golden glory! They were Equestria's finest, and nothing could stand in their way.

...

...

Flash Sentry and Cherry Crust emptied the contents of their stomachs while Valkyrie started dry heaving. The entire area reeked of death! "Sweet Celestia, what happened here?!" The reports didn't say anything about this! Nothing could prepare them for this! Despite her fear, Valkyrie took out her camera and started taking pictures.

All around, the burnt remains of the town were bodies of foals and two adult ponies strewn about on metal poles. If that wasn't enough, there were dead animals everywhere. They were torn to pieces, not for the meat but to play with. Some of them have been dead for weeks. Lungs, intestines, hearts, livers, brains, and more organs covered the ground. "Who could have done this?!" Soon their sensitive ears picked up on something moving through the air; the more experienced of the three knew what it was. "GET DOWN!"

Both Valkyrie and Flash ducked. Unfortunately, Cherry Crust was too slow; the poor mare's head was separated from her body and sent flying. The body stood there, spraying blood like a water fountain.

"Cherry!" Flash Sentry cried out.

"Aw, I only got one of you!" They turned to the demonic-sounding voice and blanched at the site. What they looked at couldn't be considered a pony anymore, just a mockery. The creature before them was lizard-like in shape, with patches of light blue fur. In place of the missing coat was dark blue hardened skin with neo blue lines running across it. What used to be hooves took the shape of webbed claws. On top of its head was a sharpened unicorn horn. Its tail was segmented with a bone-like sword at the tip of it. Altogether it was a terrifying creature.

"My name is Party Favor, and Henir wants your blood!" Party Favor's tail shot out and extended, trying to take the two guards' heads off.

Flash Sentry deflected the attack with his wingblades. Party Cackled, "HAHA! It looks like we got fighters! Oh, Sugar Belle!"

The stallion snarled in anger. "I'll kill you!" Flash didn't know Cherry all that long, but she was a fellow guard, and he would avenge her.

Before the stallion could charge off to his death, Commander Valkyrie stopped him. "No! we came here, for one thing, now let's go!" Valkyrie was no coward, but the odds were stacked against them. There were too many unknowns, so they couldn't afford to get into a pissing contest. "We have our orders, no-" Before she could say anything else, the ground started shaking.

Coming from behind another burnt building was a hulking monstrosity. It stood at the same height as one of the houses in the town. What was left of its fur hung loosely from its body; underneath was dark pink hardened skin with bulging muscles. It also had neo-blue lines running across it. Unlike Party Favor, this one was bipedal. The Behemoth stood on cloven hooves; its forearms were mutated and twisted to take the shape of arms. The hooves attached to these arms took the form of muscle fibers that hung loosely outside the body, ready to grab and crush anypony. The head of a once beautiful mare is now angular with razor-sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth. The only remaining untouched was the mane, which was still magenta and tied into a side ponytail. If there were any Velder soldiers here at that very moment, they would have said it was a skin splitter.

"New meat, I'll turn them into meat pies." Sugar Belle spoke in a deep masculine voice, befitting of somepony her size. Party Favor licked his lips at the thought of more meat pies. Flash Sentry and Valkyrie took a step back in fear; their prey instincts told them to run away. Before they could do that, Sugar took a fighting stance, with her right hoof back and the left forward. And like that, she shot forward at blinding speeds.

Years of experience, training, and honed reflexes saved Commander Valkyrie from being grabbed. In the nick of time, the mare in question jumped up and flew away; unfortunately for Flash Sentry, he was captured and is currently being crushed.

"First, tenderize the meat," Flash screamed as his body was crushed between muscle tentacles and his armor. This continued until blood started coming out of every orifice. Even his eyes were beginning to bug out as if they were going to pop from his skull. "Second, peeling." The muscle fibers dug into Flash's body and started pulling, causing the stallion's screams to reach a new pitch. Flash felt his bones move one way while everything moved the other. He could feel every nerve, vein, muscle, and organ being separated from his skeleton. The last thing Flash Sentry ever heard was a wet popping sound and the voice of his killer. "And now we bake."

In Sugar Belle's tentacles were three piles. The first pile was a pegasus skeleton. The second pile had skin, golden armor, feathers, and what was left of a blue mane. The last one could only be described as a pile of gore, which was perfect for a meat pie.

"Aw~ she got away." Sugar Belle's attention was brought to the sky, where they could see Commander Valkyrie flying away. "Should we send Night Glider after her?" Party Favor suggested.

The newly created skin splitter turned around and walked away. "It doesn't matter; this world will soon fall. Once we find space and time, all will know of Henir's divine truth. Now let's go." Soon a terrible battle will come to Equestria.


New Elria, mess hall

"So let me get this straight. Ten thousand years ago, the planet was called Elrios, and this same planet used to orbit the sun?" Raven nodded. "And you're some kind of Cyborg from the past that used to be part of a race that used to worship something called 'El and Elria'?" Again the human nodded while flexing his claw. "And you have just recently woken up thanks to a bunch of foals, which shouldn't even know your location, then Foal mountain explodes, you fought Luna, found Ambrosia and her hive, fought a crazed Nasod Queen, rediscovered Dream Valley, and you're a father to eight ponies?! Am I missing something?!" Myxine asked incredulously.

Raven gave the Hagfish Queen a cheeky grin. "When you put it like that, it sounds rather crazy. But yes, that's the basic summary of what happened." Myxine started rubbing her temples with her hooves.

After Myxine's recent beat down via Ambrosia, she was taken to the castle infirmary to have her chitin bandaged. It turned out Ambrosia's kick gave the younger Queen a mild concussion and told by Doctor Cold Touch to rest. After that, she gave Myxine seven vials of love and told them to be careful as the stuff was concentrated. To the Human's surprise, up to fifty changelings could feed upon a vial."Maybe the extra magic stones I added helped?" He mentally shrugged; Raven was getting off track.

Currently, they were in the mess hall with the lunch rush in full swing. Everyone had the choice of gruel or fried hardtack. This was all made by Mena, although some of the ponies found her suspiciously familiar. Unlike the rest of the ponies today, he ate like a king! He was given fried hardtack and lightly salted fried gecko! The former captain needed to thank those vamponies besides giving them his blood.

Ambrosia, Myxine, and Raven sat there at the lunch table... The two changeling Queens sat in chairs while raven sat on the floor. It turns out that being a 7'2 creature means that most furniture was too small for him. Sighing, Raven brought his attention to Ambrosia. "Bring Monarch. She'll be needed for this." The Honey Queen rolled her eyes but complied by sending a signal through the hivemind.

In the meantime, Raven needed to strike a deal with Myxine. "I want you and your hive to join us."

"You can't be serious?" Myxine deadpanned. While she was grateful for the free love, she wouldn't be here in the first place if it weren't for him. "What if I refused?"

Raven just shrugged. "I'll give you twenty more bottles of love and send you on your merry way." He wasn't going to force anyone to join him, but he was going to show the reality of her situation. " But tell me, where will you go? Back to Equestria? Griffonstone, Prance, or maybe you'd like to try your luck in an area without a large body of water?"

The Cyborg was right, Myxine didn't want to go back to Equestria, and prance was off the table for multiple reasons. Griffonstone also, the griffons themselves had trash-tasting love, no body of water nearby. Still, she didn't like being cornered, and she knew why. "I know this offer isn't out of the kindness of your heart or to bolster your numbers. So what do you want from me, Reaper?"

Raven's one eye twitched in frustration. "It's not what I only want, but Ambrosia as well, and our guest." And as if on cue, the mess hall doors open to reveal annoyed an looking Monarch. The other changelings in the hall gave the poor girl dirty looks. Of course, Monarch ignored them and made her way toward Raven's table. Ambrosia's wings buzzed in irritation while Myxine glared daggers at the female drone.

"What is she doing here!" Myxine snarled.

"Relax, I'll explain soon enough." Raven turned his head to the side, looking for Oleander. Soon enough, she found the unicorn with the rest of her siblings. "Oleander, if you would please?" This caught the teen's attention; after a few seconds, she nodded and lits her horn. Like that, the three changelings and Human were in a bubble of silence made from a dark purple aura.

Before Raven could speak, Monarch beat him to the punch. " I want to overthrow Chrysalis."

Ambrosia had a savage grin on her face. "I want her dead!"

Raven just shrugged again. " I would prefer her dead as well."

The Hagfish Queen was stunned; they were going after Queen Chrysalis. This was her chance for revenge, but she needed to confirm one thing. "How can she be trusted?" she pointed a hoof at Monarch while asking Raven.

"Ambrosia, if you would please." He gave the Honey Queen a pointed look.

"Well~ After hours of integration and a bit of mind control." Monarch shivered at the memories. "We've confirmed she wants to overthrow Chrysalis, even though she is a weak little larva. Isn't that right caterpillar?" Ambrosia used baby talk while addressing the Monarch.

Not wanting to dignify any of that, she addressed Myxine. "After the little stunt she pulled during the wedding, many of us are disgruntled, and she's been going on and on about kidnapping the princesses, elements of harmony and shining armor. This could mean war between Equestria and us, and I don't need to tell you what would happen if the sun and moon stopped moving." That was another problem Raven had to address, finding a way for the celestial bodies to move on their own.

Myxine sighed and knew where this was going. "I'm guessing you want to recruit Miasma and Calliphoria as well?" When Raven nodded, the Hagfish Queen groaned. While she didn't mind Calliphoria, Miasma was too snobby for her taste. Still, they needed all the help they could get. "Still, do you want to capture Chrysalis or kill her?"

"I still want her dead" Ambrosia still had her grin.

"Well." Monarch rubbed her foreleg awkwardly. "I think we should hand her over to the Equestrians."

Raven gave it some thought before answering. "I would prefer her dead, not that I have anything against her, but I don't trust the Equestrians to do their jobs properly. Instead of treating her like a proper prisoner of war, they'll try to 'rehabilitate' her friendship lessons or some bullshit." Oleander told him about Discord, and he was disgusted. "Why do you ask?"

"I don't think Princess Celestia would appreciate having Chrysalis head on her doorsteps." Raven rolled his one good eye. "Fucking bleeding hearts."

"Well, we can discuss more of that later; now, are you willing to join us?" Raven asked.

Myxine just stared at the Human with an unreadable expression before sighing. "Yes, it beats starving any day. But, under two conditions." Raven didn't like where this was going. " I will run my hive, my way. My children will always answer to me first, got it?" She spoke with steel in her voice; Raven nodded to that. "Second, I want your seed."

Raven nearly fell over at that, so he kept a calm demeanor, but inside he was panicking, which the three Changelings could taste. "Why?" He asked dryly.

"Isn't it obvious? You're a rare specimen and a strong one at that." Still tasting his distress, Myxine waved a dismissive hoof at the Human. "You don't have to worry about romantics. What we do will be purely business." This calmed Raven somewhat, but the man swore he could hear his adoptive father rolling in his grave.

"So~?" Ambrosia said in her innocent voice. "Threesome?"

"NO!" Myxine and Raven said simultaneously, causing the older Queen to cross her forelegs and pout.

Still feeling peeved, Raven pulled out a vial of love and a folded piece of paper. "Ambrosia, I'm going to need you to send out drones to find Trixie Lulumoon. Also, I need files on certain ponies, which can be found in this paper." Raven slid the paper and vial over to the Queen.

"Hmph, why should I?" Ambrosia turned her head to the side like a petulant child.

Raven pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'll teach you Dive Kick Bombing if you do this for me." Ambrosia's ears perked up at this.

"You got yourself a deal, Handsome!" She got up out of her seat and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Training with you is always fun!"

Sighing tiredly, Raven brought his attention back to Myxine. "Also, I wanted to as-" He was interrupted by a holographic screen.

"Sir, we have a problem." It was Maya; he ordered the Nasod to fly around and scout her new surroundings.

Raven rubbed his face with one hand, wondering what could have gone wrong. "For fucks sake, it's only been an hour." Raven prayed it was a roaming monster or bandits. "What did you find?"

"The Equestrians are here." Maya's camera switched to a first-person view. She was holding a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane by her throat. "From the reports I've gone through, this is called Rainbow Crash?"

"What did you call me, you bucket of bolts!" The pony started cursing obscenities

Maya's grip tightened, causing the pony to choke. "Shall I dispose of them?"

Raven slammed his head on the table and just stayed like that. Only one thing was running through his tired mind—something that summed up his entire day and maybe his whole life.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"
