Hitch and the Parasyte
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterQueen Opaline's castle
In the ginormous and intimidating castle of Queen Opaline, the dark purple alicorn Queen was seen still scrutinising the mane five ponies who were known as Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm as well as the little infant dragon Sparky with an irked expression. She has lost count on how many failed attempts that Misty had when it came to capturing Sparky by force so that she can glean its dragon fire magic in order to become more powerful.
However, as of today, the alicorn Queen has had enough of all of this failure nonsense and decided to have shift her strategy from capturing the baby dragon to harming the pony species but, she would have to come up with a detrimental plan to do so that does not involve infiltration and simple assaults. Luckily, she had a vicious plan after discovering another planet with the use of her magical pool.
"Lily! Grace! Rusty! Blaze! Misty! Be present in the throne room now!" Opaline called her henchmares and henchstallions.
As the henchmares and henchstallions heard their Queen calling them. They immediately ceased on all of their job obligations and ran out of their rooms, bowing down to their Queen in the process as a way to greet her with respect and honour.
"You called us for something Opaline?" Misty asked.
"Yes, I have formulated a genius plan in how to teach these ponies including this aggravating mare Sunny Starscout a daunting lesson in not to mess with me." Queen Opaline told her with a wicked smile.
"With all due respects my Queen, what about the infant dragon that you have been asking Misty to pursue and capture for the past couple of times?" Mare Lily asked.
"That would have to be postponed until further notices Lily." She told her which Lily nodded in acknowledgement to.
"What us this new plan of yours my Queen?" Blaze asked.
"Come here and I will show you."
The ponies nodded before walking to where Queen Opaline was so that they could see what was being projected on the large screen. During that Misty looked at the round belly of Lily who was pregnant with her and her husband Blaze's daughter after they got married in the throne room and fell in love with one another ever since.
"How are you feeling Lily?" Misty asked her friend.
"Not so much Misty, it's just a couple of months in before my daughter comes out." Lily replied simply with no concerns of her own health safety.
"Cool, I wish you and Blaze the best of luck with raising your daughter!" Misty exclaimed with an exuberant expression.
"Cut the chatter Misty, we've got an obligation to do." Grace told her.
"Oh u-uh... yes Grace!"
As the three mares and two stallions made it to Queen Opaline, they all looked at the projected screen and saw that she was looking at an entirely different planet.
"What is this planet your majesty?" Rusty asked.
"I've never seen a planet like this before." Misty said with a nonplussed expression.
"Henchmares and henchstallions, this is Earth, a planet inhabited by creatures called Humans." Opaline replied simply.
"Wow, that is intriguing." Grace commented with an intrigued expression. "But, what are you planning to do?" She asked.
"You'll see soon Grace, I have discovered something very detrimental and terrifying in one of the Earth's nations that will surely give all of the pony mares, fillies, colts and stallions a great scare." She told her.
The henchmares and henchstallions looked at the screen projector where Opaline zoomed in and displayed a land on the planet Earth.
"What is that place?"
"This Misty is a country called Japan, one of the most advanced countries on the Earth." Opaline replied which got the mares and stallions perplexed. Not once have they heard of a country like that. Then, they all saw screen projecting the names of the cities in the nation.
"Wow, that is a lot of cities." Lily commented with a nonplussed expression.
"Perhaps they have a bigger population in this Japan?" Blaze asked his wife.
"Oh wow, Osaka? Nagoya? Akita? Kyoto? Those are some interesting city names." Misty commented.
"Nows not the time for being impressed with the city names Misty focus." Opaline ordered sternly which Misty nodded to.
"So, what's the plan my Queen?"
"Watch, I've discovered these unique creatures in the capital of this country known as Tokyo." Opaline replied.
The henchmares and henchstallions of Queen Opaline looked at the projected screen again to see it displaying an image of a large and beautiful city which completely flabbergasted them all, they also saw bipedal female and male creatures walking in the city too.
"Whoa, now that is one beautiful city." Misty commented with an nonplussed expression.
"This Tokyo sure is amazing in every places." Grace commented.
"Wow, the technologies are slightly more advanced compared to the society." Blaze commented as he saw some similar levels and more advanced levels of technologies.
"Yes yes yes, it is impressive and all but, that's not the subject at hoof." Opaline told them. "Look at what else is going on with these female and male humans." She said as she projected another image.
The mares and stallions looked at the screen again to witness a petrifying and grotesque sight. There were these female and male humans seen being slaughtered by monsters who were as interchangeable to the human species who had red tentacles with sharp blades coming out of their head. There was also one who had the ability to open up its entire face revealing it's sharp teeth inside before chomping down on a female human's head, killing her in the process.
"Oh my, what a gruesome sight." Misty commented with a green face.
"What are those monsters?" Rusty asked while trembling in fear.
"Those are some extremely sharp-edged blades if you ask me." Lily commented.
"Queen Opaline, what kind of species are those?" Blaze asked.
"Those Lily, Grace, Misty, Blaze and Rusty are known as parasytes." Opaline replied.
"Parasytes?" Misty asked. "As in those little creatures?" She asked again.
"Close enough but, these parasytes have a huge distinction." Opaline told her.
"And what is that distinction?"
"These parasytes have the abilities to control their hosts minds when they take over their brain by either entering their ears, nostrils and mouths." Opaline delineated. "Once successful, the parasyte takes control of its entire host and gives them unique abilities such as what you all saw there." She finished.
The mares and stallions were all beyond shocked and terrified from the information that their Queen delineated for them all. These parasytes do seem to have very powerful abilities judging by how they can overcome their hosts brains, controlling them in the process, in addition, being stabbed by those blades would be very horrible.
"Now that is both gruesome and cool." Grace commented with a wicked smile.
"Indeed Grace." Opaline nodded to her. Then, she looked back at the projected screen where there were seven unhatched bacterial pods where the parasytes were kept in. "Now, I'm gonna transport these parasytes over to my throne room and have them in my possession." She said with an evil smile.
Then, Opaline charged her horn and levitated a bottle of potion on top of the magical pool as the screen projection disappeared. After that, the alicorn Queen poured some purple liquid into the pool which resulted in some dark blue mists appearing as a result. Three seconds later, out came nine green circles that looked like bacterias floating in magical bubbles.
"Oh wow, those are like normal yet harmful bacteria to me." Lily commented.
"Indeed Lily, and the parasytes are stored in these bacteria." Opaline told her.
"So what's the plan?"
"Simple, Lily, Blaze, Rusty and Grace. All of you are going to permit these parasytes to enter into your bodies and overcome your brains except for you Lily cause' you're technically pregnant right now with your daughter. After that, you all will be dispatched into the public and assault all of the ponies with your newly acquired abilities from these powerful parasytes!" Opaline ordered. "That way we'll show them the true meaning of fear and why they should never mess with us! Muwahahahahaha!" She laughed in a despicable way as she projected an image of Maretime Bay and its pony mares, fillies, colts and stallions inhabitants.
The henchmares and henchstallions all laughed in an execrable way too along with Opaline but Misty was not doing as efficiently as her friends were. Although Queen Opaline's plan does seem a little terrifying yet dastardly but, it was well worth it because, Lily, Grace, Rusty and Blaze are desperate to receive such powers from their Queen herself.
However, unknown to Opaline, four of the green bacterias have accidentally floated themselves into the magical pool, sending them floating to Maretime Bay in the process.
As the four bacterias entered Maretime Bay through the projected screen from Queen Opaline's castle, two floated into Maretime Bay, one of them floated into the jungle, and one of them floated into Bridlewood.
