Canterlot throne room, Twilight Sparkle and Fangs 2nd POV:

Twilight was getting hounded by her friends and brother save for the princesses and Fluttershy, giving her both accusations and rude remarks about even laying with a changeling. Causing her to look away and softly cry from the harshness of her close friends and family until somepony spoke up.

“Leave her alone…”

Everypony but twilight looked over at who spoke up, seeing the changeling had stood up with a scowl on his face.

“You say you’re her friends and family yet you treat her like she’s done something so wrong that you’re treating her like dirt. I am absolutely speechless to the fact that you choose to berate her over me, your enemy! She never did that anyway.. she was asking me questions about my home and hugged me…”

Rainbow flew into Fangs face, growling as he continued.

“I didn’t and couldn’t use magic to trick her.. I’ve been more nicer to her than all of you fakes… and I’m the two faced shapeshifter…!”

Fang said as a blue hoof struck him across the muzzle, knocking a tooth out and onto the floor. Luna was the first to speak up.

“Dash! Thy striking a defenseless foe! Do thy have no honor!?”

Luna asked, appalled of her action. Feeling more sympathy for the changeling. Rainbow huffed in fangs face before flying back to her friends as fang spoke up again.
“Princess Cadence… I deeply apologize for the actions of a my queen but let’s be honest here… how did no pony notice but twilight… like seriously…? Oh but not you princess Luna… you barely knew her long enough…”

Princess Luna nodded as cadence looked at the changeling, seemingly curious oh why he looked different than normal drones as Fang continued his rant.

“And you country hick! You’re the element of laughter…!”

“Honesty”

Twilight corrected, getting a nod from Fang.

“Honesty… apologies but seriously… you are the walking, talking lie detector…! And you fell for crocodile tears! How you can even live with nearly getting your kind enslaved is impressive!”

Applejack huffed as she looked at him dead in the eyes, ready to strangle them as rarity spoke up.

“You’re simply a brute with your words.. not deserving your snake tounge! Hmph!”

Fang rolled his iris as he couldn’t even help but scoff at the drama queens insult before feeling his mouth slowly pried open by cadences light turquoise magic, showing off decaying gums, lack of fangs and the tounge looked very pale. Many ponies gasp at the serious health crisis the changeling was in, clearly have been starved for too long and is being devoured from the inside out.

“How long have you had that…?”

Cadence asked, hoping that it was a recent thing that was caused by the spell that repelled the invasion as cadence let her horn die so Fang could explain.

“Ow… that hurts.. and no… I’ve been suffering for years with the swollen gums… I’m surprised that my fangs finally fell off but after a rough stay in the cells of Canterlot haven’t been well on my health… lots of mice which are more comfortable to be around than your stoic guards… Mice are intelligent social animals and our saliva is like nectar to them.”

Fluttershy looked at the changeling, surprised at their knowledge of mice. But felt deeply uncomfortable with knowing the changeling was very sick. Twilight looked at him feeling a pit of sorrow for Fang as to hear that he was sick. Before anypony could speak, the door burst open revealing a messenger as he shouted out loudly.

“Princess! Reports of Dale came in! The changeling Chrysalis is dead!”

The news shocked Everypony except Fang and Twilight. Celestia spoke up quickly.

“So the changeling wasn’t sent by her… who sent them then…?”

Fang looked up at her, surprised that they finally found her before speaking.

“I did. Not on her orders… the dead can’t give orders… except death…”

Princess Luna spoke up, needing clarification.

“Thy queen gave a death order..?”

Fang nodded slowly, looking away before a hint of sadness could be heard in their voice.

“Mercy killing…”

The sand dunes of the badlands

Thousands of bodies litter the sands of the badlands, a few of them being consumed by wild animals while many others were only a mound of chitin and bones. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shinning Armor and prince BlueBlood landed at the scene with a few pegasi guards and with three other guards that claimed that they wanted to see the reports as well. Fang was honest when he said that Chrysalis was dead, but he didn’t say that he broke her neck.
Cadence couldn’t hold her breakfast in, vomiting all over the sand as Shinning went over to comfort her. Shinning couldn’t believe the death that happened her, it was only a shield spell that sent them away.. Celestia and Luna looked around, moving bodies in a hope to find a survivor but not having much luck until a weak voice pleaded for help. All but BlueBlood rushed over to the voice.

“D…. Don’t run…!!!!”

Everypony stopped as they heard them order them around. Shinning growled softly before speaking.

“Who are you to-“

“Not so loud! There are a lot of sand wyrms are still here…!”

The voice had warned them of the sand wyrms wasn’t trying to be rude but trying to be careful about their lives.

“Why do you live out here then…?”
Princess Celestia asked softly, hoping to get an answer.

“No choice… heat keeps grubs happy… most pregnant changelings stay in the nursery till birthing but.. nnngh… our queen order all of us into an invasion force…. W… we aren’t solders… we barely can fight off a griffin without suffering massive casualties… oh but I.. introductions a.. are in order.. m.. my name is Thor-“

The voice continued as a large sand wyrm shot out from the sandy desert, slowly returning back to the depths with its target screaming in fear before silence filled the air again.

“Poor bastard”

Princess BlueBlood said as he began to mock the victim.

“Oh no.. I’m being eaten oh horrible me… oh please save me…. Hahaha!”

Everypony looked at him, absolutely speechless. A race is practically extinct and he was making fun of the poor bugs death.

BlueBlood jumped to the left, miraculously missing the sand wyrm springing out of the ground, roaring in anger. Causing the ground to rumble in excitement. Shinning Armors eyes widen as he remembered what Fang said during the interrogation. Fang warned him that going to the badlands wouldn’t be easy and there were a lot of very dangerous creatures there but when the ground shakes… you need to flee for your life.

“Princess we must leave!!!!”

Shinning shouted as Everypony quickly got to the chariots and quickly flying off towards Canterlot but before they reached halfway into the air, a large beast rose from the sands, its maw full of adolescent sand wyrms and the corpses of changelings. It was a mythical beast that guarded the badlands, a thresher wyrm.

Canterlot cell, Fangs 2nd POV:

Fang groaned as a mare used their hind legs to kick him in his chest, causing Fang to spit blood onto the floor. Before Fang could recover, a Pegasus kicked his right hind legs joint which snapped from the impact. Fang shrieked in pain as he fell to his stomach, feeling light headed from the beat down from two mares.

“Stay away from us and more importantly, Twilight.”

“You tell anypony this and we’ll make sure a broken leg and eye was the start of this…”

Both mares said at the same time before striking Fang in his right eye, one of them managing to snap nodes in the cornea with their strike. The two left the cell, leaving the door open as Fang could barely keep consciousness. His right eyes sight going red while his left could see the two mares flanks before leaving him to blackout, a lightning bolt an a trio of apples.

Canterlot private Hospital wing, Fangs 2nd POV:

Fang slowly open their eyes, seeing a purple/ red pony by his bedside. The pony smiled softly as she held his hoof, not realizing that he was awake yet. Fang couldn’t help but feel touched that this pony would hold his hoof, regardless of knowing him.

“Are you feeling better Fang…?”

Fang groaned softly, seeing half the world in color and another in a dark red tint. Fang looked at the pony, feeling confused at her question for him. Fang couldn’t help but blink for a minute before asking.

“Who’s this Fang you speak of…?”
