Hitch and the Parasyte

Queen Opaline's castle

In the castle throne room of Queen Opaline, the alicorn mare was seen looking at her henchmares: Grace and Lily, as well as her henchstallions: Rusty and Blaze with a satisfied expressions, Misty on the other hoof had a petrified expression on her right now due to the sudden changes of behaviours in her friends.

The two mares and two stallions had the parasytes overcoming them all after Queen Opaline released them and commanded them to allow them to take control of them which they gave their consent to without hesitation at all. Once the parasytes were released out of their shells, they immediately infiltrated the mares and stallion by going through either their ears or muzzles, Lily on the other hoof had the parasyte entering her hair with the assistance of Queen Opaline due to her being pregnant.

As the parasytes entered them, there were a few pained groans and grunts at the start due to how aggressive they were in terms of infiltration. However, a couple of excruciating minutes later, the parasytes have all fully gained control of their hosts brains all except for Lily who could control the parasyte with her long hair as a weapon. Opaline also took a couple of safety precautions by emitting a small amount of her magic to corroborate that they will not attack her or Misty and that they will always obey her commands no matter what.

"They look so intimidating now." Misty commented in a trembling tone as she stared at the empty expressions of her friends.

"Now this is perfect! They will now be able to give a detrimental message to this Sunny Starscout as she watches everything she loves suffer!" Queen Opaline exclaimed. "Muwahahahahahaha!" She laughed.

"We are ready to follow your orders anytime now Queen Opaline." Blaze said in a deep tone compared to his original one.

Everything was going accordingly to plan by Queen Opaline, now, all she has to do is to send either one of them to Maretime Bay first.

Maretime Bay

It is nighttime now in the coastal city of Maretime Bay. The residents of the city were all seen trying preparing to take a nap and call it a day for tonight as they all began to feel very fatigued right now after a long day of work.

In the sheriff station of Maretime Bay, sheriff Hitch Trailblazer was seen resting on his office chair after finishing most of his paperwork today. He was still a bit disconsolate after today's failure in trying to assist the community as well as Sunny receiving all of the gratitudes from the mares, fillies, colts and stallions. But, that's not what he is concerned about currently, all he wanted to do was to do something positive that would relieve his mind.

However, unknown to the earth pony stallion, there was a green bacteria shell seen resting on the window outside of his sheriff station. The shell then popped opened revealing a green coloured parasyte. The small worm slithered itself close to the window before taking notice of the pony inside.

"Perhaps some fun time with Sparky would be able to relieve my mind on the pressure that is being put on me right now." Hitch told himself as he got off of his chair before heading to the staircase of his sheriff station that leads directly to his bedroom.

The parasyte immediately targeted Hitch as his host and began to figure out a way to get inside. As it looked to its left, he noticed a ventilation shaft that leads directly to the first and second floor as well as the rooftop of this infrastructure. So, without any further delays, the parasyte slithered it's way to where the vent was before entering through the slot.

On the second floor of the sheriff's station. Sheriff Hitch was seen having some bonding time with the dragon infant Sparky by lifting him up in the air a couple of times which made him giggle and laugh in return due to how much fun he is having with the earth pony stallion, the two birds and one crab who were the police companions of Hitch were seen taking a nap in their stationed areas after a long night.

"At least I have you for my company my cute little Sparky." Hitch said with a smile.

However, after a couple of more seconds, Hitch began to feel very fatigued due to it being very late at night now, he needed the much needed rest that he necessarily requires for tomorrow.

"That should conclude our playing time for today my little Sparky, I need some rest." Hitch told him, and Sparky nodded as he too was feeling sleepy.

As both agreed on the same thing, Hitch walked to Sparky's crib before gently placing him in there, covering him with a small blanket in the process. After that, the sheriff made his way to his bathroom so that he could brush his teeth before hitting the hay for the night.

Once Hitch has finished brushing his teeth, he made his way towards the lights switch of the room before flipping it downwards, turning off the lights in his room in the process, luckily, he could still see with the assistance of his lamp near his bed. After that, he made his way towards his bed and climbed on top of it, covering his body with his blanket in the process. He then reached out for his earmuffs and wore is over his head, covering his ears in the process.

"Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day." Hitch said as he turned off his lamp before resting his head on his pillow. After that, he began to drift to sleep.

However, in the ventilation shaft, the small green parasyte has successfully made his way to the second floor of the sheriff's station in Hitch's bedroom by slithering its way through the vent. It then fell through one of the slots and onto the floor of Hitch's bedroom. It then scrutinized its surroundings once more and located its target sleeping on his bed peacefully which would be a perfect time to strike as he is unaware of its presence.

So, without any further hesitation, the parasyte slithered its way towards the earth pony in a rapid pace. Once it made its way to his bed, it slithered it's way up on his bed and climbed on the blankets, after that it made its way towards the pony's ear so that it can commence the infiltration process and make its way towards his brain.

Once the parasyte has made its way to the pony's left ear, there was one small problem, there was something blocking its passage meaning that he will not be able to enter through the ear canal. The parasyte searched for an alternative route to the brain and saw that the pony's nose was opened therefore, it decided to enter through the nose instead.

The parasyte slowly slithered its way onto the pony's face, making it groan a little, he had to be careful in order to prevent waking it up. Once he made it to its left nostril, it raised itself up before forcing itself into the left nostril of the pony.

"Achoo!" Hitch sneezed and he immediately sat up straight. The exertion of the parasyte has provoked the sheriff to wake up. "What in Equestria?" He asked as he looked down on himself.

When he did, the sheriff saw a green worm like creature on his bed recovering from the sudden action that it's target did.

"Gah!" Hitch exclaimed in fear as he rolled off of his bed, causing both him and the creature to fall off of it in the process, as well as knocking off his earmuffs. As the sheriff recovered, it began to search for it. "Wh-where is the thing?" He asked as he began to scrutinize his surroundings.

When he looked down in front of him, he took notice of the creature on the floor in front of him.

"Whoa, now what kind of creature are you?" Hitch asked as he slowly crawled up to it.

The creature represents what looks to be like a little worm but, it is unlike any worn that Hitch has encountered in the forest, in fact, it look more larger than one. It had a drill for its head, it is green coloured, is translucent and many more.

"Hey, are you okay little guy?" Hitch asked as he tried to communicate with it.

Suddenly, without warning, the worm like creature lunged itself towards Hitch which he responded by shielding his face with his right hoof in response. However, the action has provoked the parasyte to enter through his right hoof, creating a hole in it in the process.

"Ahhhh! Somepony help me!" Hitch exclaimed as he lied on his back on the floor.

When the critters heard the screams of their sheriff, they immediately got out of their sleeping areas before entering the sheriff's bedroom to see a perplexing sight of their friend Hitch sitting on the floor with him crushing his right hoof with his pillow.

"My fellow critters, help me please! A worm has entered through my right hoof and is going to kill me!" Hitch mumbled while crushing his right hoof with his pillow.

The critters immediately took action before going to their sheriff's aid. Once they got to him, they gave out a couple of soft words to him which managed to make him equanimous again, letting go of his grip on his pillow in the process. After that, one of his birds asked Hitch what was going on.

"Thank you for calming me down. Anyways, as I said, a creature slithered through my right hoof." Hitch told them with got them bewildered. "Here, I've got the proof right here, it made this hole in my-"

Hitch looked down on his right hoof to see that the hole in his right hoof has disappeared out of sight, he looked everywhere in his right hoof but, it was no longer there anymore.

"Huh? Where did it go? How did it?" Hitch asked with a perplexed expression.

Then, the bird asked Hitch whether or not he was having a bad dream or not.

"No! This wasn't a nightmare, it just happened I promise!"

The animals however, weren't entirely convinced of Hitch's claim, they still assumed that their friend had a bad dream. So, they all decided to dismiss it as a nightmare and gave their friend some reassuring words before going back to sleep.

"Was it a bad dream?" Hitch asked as he looked down on his right hoof.
