Spike's Kingdom

Day One of the Invasion

Queen Chrysalis, disguised as Princess Celestia, trotted towards the castle after hearing the praises and love from everyone; she devoured some strands so her facade wouldn't become apparent that Princess Celestia's image is a Changeling. With her subject by her side, enacting as Raven Inkwell, Queen Chrysalis seeks to purge Canterlot while sending her Changelings to invade the Crystal Empire to capture Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart once they have their fill.

Queen Chrysalis' Changeling, Kevin, has found some audio recordings from an abandoned building and listened to the thorough conversations. He has never heard of such foul language spoken by a Unicorn. It appears the audio logs are dated fifteen years ago, which reminded him of watching some entity arrive at his home at a young age. He continues to listen to the explicit topic of Princess Cadance's immaturity as a young Alicorn Princess while understanding how to utilize her failures to capture her, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart in the long run.

One thing Queen Chrysalis had noticed after absorbing Princess Celestia and Luna's magic is the sun and moon rising and setting on their accord without their magic, meaning she sees the Staff of Sarcanas useless and tosses the relic down the Canterlot Waterfalls. She could mimic the timing of the rising and setting of the sun and moon without any drawback and exposure from other folks in Canterlot, making the invasion more effortless than the last time when she took effort into capturing Princess Cadance and disguised herself to drain Shining Armor's protection barrier spell.

When nightfall approaches, every Changeling enters Canterlot and sap some love from everyone, including capturing the Royal Guards on patrol, within the castle, and in their headquarters to prevent them from sending an emissary or an S.O.S. to Princess Twilight Sparkle or Princess Cadance about the second invasion of Canterlot. Once the Changelings subdued everyone within Canterlot, they sealed everypony inside semi-transparent emerald-green pods, then disguised themselves as those Ponies when Princess Twilight Sparkle decided to visit Princess Celestia and Luna to make a formal agreement and apologize to seize and capture for the sake of Queen Chrysalis' vengeance.

"My Queen -" A Changeling disguised as a Royal Guard entered the premises of Queen Chrysalis' throne room in Canterlot Castle while watching her drain the love from a Royal Guard in captivity, bows before her. "we have successfully infiltrated and captured all residents within Canterlot, all Royal Guards apprehended, and none had departed Canterlot. We also have a patrol for when Princess Twilight Sparkle and company decide to visit Princess Celestia after the fiasco with our scapegoat, Thorax."

Queen Chrysalis smiles in delight after having her fill with a Royal Guard, then uses her magic to implant him inside the semi-transparent emerald-green pod for seconds later tonight or breakfast in the morning. "Send many of our scouts to settle in Ponyville, allow the love to spread magically, and seize the moment when the Princess is away on some Friendship Quest or get-together. I have my prize to claim at the Crystal Empire once the hunger returns when the residents are dried up and rendered useless for our nation."

"As you wish, my Queen," The Changeling departs the throne room to have an official meeting with hundreds of scouts since the soldiers are on patrol until Queen Chrysalis declares departure to invade either Ponyville or the Crystal Empire, considering the Crystal Heart holds formidable power that'll repel any creature of darkness away with a cleansing power to defeat evil.

"Cadance, oh, how long I missed you and wished I kept you to myself all those years ago during our second confrontation," Queen Chrysalis recalls the memory of the first encounter when she met a younger Princess Cadance and wanted to drain all the love magic she had within. "You'll be mine soon enough!"

Within the first week of her reign in Canterlot, Queen Chrysalis attempted to reach out to Princess Twilight Sparkle to structure an apologetic summit regarding Thorax by sending an emissary to the Castle of Friendship, but according to her Changeling, Princess Twilight Sparkle had opted not to answer anything regarding the Princesses for she's on the brink of a discovery, which the Changeling didn't receive any information regarding the breakthrough. Queen Chrysalis found it odd that the Princess of Friendship secluded her from her idol. She wondered if it connected to the stupid Dragon Mystery about the brigade and Dragon Eggs, which she has no recollection of bragging rights. Perhaps there's a memory blockage since her memories are mostly clouded with defeat and failures to bring her nation into everlasting prosperity with an unlimited food supply enriched with love by Equestrian Ponies.

Queen Chrysalis decided to visit the dungeons to uncover the importance of the Dragon Eggs by discussing the topic with her two favorite prisoners, Princess Celestia and Luna. When she arrives, she sees her Changelings consuming some love while keeping the duo energetic with vigorous, energizing spells to allow them to endure much torment by watching their subjects getting subjugated by the drainage of love departing their bodies into hungry Changelings, which resulting the coats of the Ponies' colors deteriorating to dullness in brownish-black.

Princess Celestia and Luna could only struggle within their pods, with green goop overlaying their mouths, preventing them from threatening, pleading, and begging for mercy. Their horns are adorned with an anti-magic ring to prevent them from using any magic that would be dangerous to the cause. For a week, the Changelings forced them to observe the horrors, regardless of the age of their subjects, to endure the drainage during a feast.

"Leave the premises for two hours; I need privacy with my favorite playthings," Queen Chrysalis commands her Changelings to vacate the dungeon with the other Ponies in captivity to prolong their suffering away from their presence, which the hungry Changelings don't mind while Princess Celestia and Luna used their energy to glare at Queen Chrysalis. Using her magic, Queen Chrysalis melts the goop from Princess Celestia and Luna's mouths, allowing them to pant and take deep breaths for fresh air after receiving limited amounts.

"...no more..." Princess Celestia begs Queen Chrysalis to spare the younglings from experiencing extreme torture methods the Changelings had done in their sights.

"Aaaaah," Queen Chrysalis sticks her tongue out, licking Princess Celestia's face to drink the tear that escaped her left eye. "The love you have for everypony, your tears of anguish are still delicious, Princess Celestia!" Queen Chrysalis finds it satisfying to have Princess Celestia and Luna edged before breaking their spirits.

"You will lose!" Princess Luna musters enough confidence to spew a defiant comment regarding her circumstances throughout the week, for she endured a thousand years in solitary confinement on the moon and refuses to submit to Queen Chrysalis despite witnessing many Ponies tortured before her, and she couldn't defend them.

"So far, the Princess of Friendship and Love has forgotten about you two, and it's been a week since the Thorax incident; maybe Twilight informed Princess Cadance about your behavior toward Thorax and believe some time of separation to recover is the better option, allowing the emotions to subside before planning," Queen Chrysalis responds to Luna's inoperable statement since she's in captivity and useless to repel anything she would do to Luna.

"The Magic of Friendship will defeat you, just as how love conquered you and your Changelings at the wedding!" Princess Luna remembers the story from her sister and believes Queen Chrysalis would endure a reprised defeat through the magic of a more decisive bond when positioned together.

Queen Chrysalis uses her right hoof to lift Princess Celestia's chin while ignoring Princess Luna's feeble words of rebellious behavior, knowing Luna lost the war before it began. "Celestia, tell me about the importance of the Dragon Eggs and the mystery behind it. Perhaps when I understand Thorax's involvement, I'll spare the younglings for the day in exchange for your valued information."

"You... don't... remember... stealing... Dragon Eggs..?" Princess Celestia refuses to acknowledge Cadance as the sole culprit of the causality since Queen Chrysalis is the only creature demented enough to start a rift and war between Dragons and Equestrian Ponies.

Queen Chrysalis smiles and shakes her head since the memory of invading other territories would slip from her mind, but anything regarding death during an invasion is one thing she wouldn't forget. "You can scratch me off the list, Princess Celestia, for I have no remembrance of any infiltration with the Dragon Lands unless the events are pivotal for catastrophes caused by me or my Changelings, and I highly doubt the elders to remember heinous acts, considering none of them ever held secrets from me!"

"LIAR!" Princess Luna blurs angrily when Queen Chrysalis employs green goop to mute her royal bellow to evade an earache; Princess Luna pants and thrashes in her pod, yearning to escape and give Queen Chrysalis the beating she deserves.

"Honestly, anything involving death or devitalizing love from any creature would be my favorite memory. I haven't touched the Dragon Lands since I didn't believe they had love, according to the Ponies of Equestria, after spreading rumors about them."

"It can't be Princess Cadance who stole the Dragon Eggs and killed so many with the brigade; it has to be you, you monster!" Princess Celestia refuses to acknowledge Cadance as the culprit; she believes Queen Chrysalis hypnotizes Princess Cadance or uses her image to display the rapid campaign of dominance that brought calamity all those years ago.

"Honesty is often painful, Celestia, and it's an option I don't operate with my prisoners; however, in this instance, I can share -" Queen Chrysalis licks her lips, leaning closer to Princess Celestia's mouth. "something pleasing to you!" Queen Chrysalis forcibly tongue-kisses Princess Celestia, draining her energy and absorbing her life force to amplify her lifeline for a few more centuries.

Princess Celestia tries to repel Queen Chrysalis's kiss and fails miserably when Chrysalis' tongue interlocks with her tongue, causing the transfer of immortality to depart for a few moments. "I hate you! Stop this! NOW!"

Queen Chrysalis ceases her explicit dessert taste and drinks the pinkish-life force from Celestia's immortality, smearing her mouth while relishing the lovely flavor. Princess Celestia feels fatigued after Queen Chrysalis finishes kissing her and humiliated by the ongoing sensation of Changelings using other methods through intimacy to prolong suffering through pleasure.

"Immortality has the best-enriched flavor for dampening love, and you have plenty of it from your memories of those precious in your sight, Princess Celestia!" Queen Chrysalis taunts Princess Celestia and leans closer to her ear, nibbling it to whisper a promise. "I will make you my love slave for all eternity if I don't drain your entire life force, causing you to die in a world where Changelings dominate all life!"

Princess Luna finds it disgusting the way Queen Chrysalis explicitly exposes her sister with profound torture methods that only loving couples should ever display during their relations privately; she wants to slaughter Queen Chrysalis for introducing these sexual atrocities on her and Celestia throughout their time in prison.

"Don't worry, Princess Luna, I haven't forgotten about you, and it will give us plenty of time to have fun while the Changelings continue with their Thanksgiving feast!" Queen Chrysalis watches Princess Luna squirm violently, exerting much of her energy into freeing her containment, which the green goop encasing her body, except for her head, refuses to budge in Luna's favor.

A Changeling returns to the dungeon after discovering imperative news regarding the Dragons' recent visitation to Ponyville; he hopes not to disturb Queen Chrysalis' favorite pastime amid her torturous playtime with Princess Celestia and Luna. "My Queen -" He bows before his Queen to formally address the situation. "our scouts had observed recent activity with Dragons returning to Ponyville and creating a new wave of love for us to ingest, and with families reuniting and extending, the love has expanded exponentially. To invade the Dragon Lands, we'll need an expansion with our army by manipulating everypony we've drained into becoming mindless drones, rendering every Dragon into submission, knowing they cannot harm nor kill friends corrupted by us. We need to assemble the said army by allowing our scouts and soldiers to occupy different territories in Equestria and the Crystal Empire, enacting like Thorax seeking refuge from the supposed tyrant to undermine their trust and allowing us to manipulate them when they least expect it. Thanks to Thorax, lately, Ponies are more welcoming to newer creatures to call friends rather than judging rudely and creating unnecessary circumstances detailing their views on friendship."

"Excellent," Queen Chrysalis is glad to use Thorax as her scapegoat to fulfill her desires for total world domination and enslavement to ensure her kingdom receives everlasting food from all nations once the more dominant kingdoms are defeated. "Make it happen, soldier; however, once we're through with Equestria, I'll lead us to the Crystal Empire, disguised as one of you, with the name Zerax, yearning to find friendship and love. I can't wait to have Princess Cadance in my clutches again!" Queen Chrysalis laughs blissfully and sadistically.

"As you command, my Queen, I'll assemble the invading parties to depart Canterlot and extend our network throughout Equestria once everypony is under our submission, once Princess Twilight Sparkle leaves her castle after a supposed solitary confinement she's forcing on herself."

"We need our scapegoat at the Crystal Empire so the hate is drawn on him when we arrive; you'll keep me informed while I transfer our food to the Hive. We have a journey ahead of us, and I'm sure everyone is waiting for their fill."

"Farewell, my Queen, and we'll document what we can concerning Princess Twilight Sparkle and when to initiate our plan to invade the Crystal Empire and apprehend Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and their child, Flurry Heart!" The Changeling salutes his Queen and departs the dungeon, allowing privacy to resume with Queen Chrysalis and the Princesses to endure more special bonding together.
