The Invasion of Canterlot and a noble soul ejected from the city

Base of bridge to the tower holding the elements of harmony’s artifacts

Fang and his brothers and sisters had surrounded the elements of harmony in front of the tower that held their weapons. Fang was currently copying Rainbow Dash’s movements before shoving her to the floor.

“How did-?”

Rainbow dash began to question as a small group of changelings behind Fang began to transform into her exact copy. Twilight watched in horror as she saw every changeling become an exact copy of her friends, both in appearance and in voice. After Dash got up, Twilight reminded her about their special powers.

“Their changelings remember!”

A second later, five Twilights spoke in unison in a mocking tone.

“Their changelings remember..”

Twilight spoke in a rallying tone, giving her friends confidence.

“Don’t let them distract you! We have to get to the elements of harmony, they’re our only hope!”

Shortly after a massive brawl erupted between the group, many changelings taking serious hits to the face while twilight slammed a changeling, disguised as Applejack, face first into the marble floor. Fluttershy was so scared that when a group of her approached her, she managed to trick them into thinking that she was one of them unfortunately a group of Rainbow Dashes stood in her way as she attempted to flee. Rearing up to strike her, a single Rainbow attacked the group of fakes after pretending to be apart of them, knocking them out.

Eventually it became a few minutes before many changelings were knocked out/or left on the floor whining in painful agony. Rainbow’s eyes narrowed on an exact copy of her still standing if just barely, Twilight used her magic to keep it from moving as Rainbow charged in and land a strike onto the right side of their face. The strike forced the fake Dash to stumble from the hit, a soft crunch of chitin and bones sounding out as the changeling in disguise cried out in pain, dropping their disguise as a large imprint of half a hoof was left on their face while the other have had damaged the bugs cornea. The changeling fell onto their stomach as their right vision became a dark green before feeling liquid floor from their face. Reaching up with a left hoof they gathered a good amount of liquid leaking from their right side before checking what it was in their left, their eyes going wide as green blood was on their chitin hoof. Looking up, the changeling saw his attacker shaking their hoof slowly at the mess on their hoof. The changeling grew fearful for his life, not being a warrior class drone but a simple miner drone. The queen promised an easy win… not this…

Rainbow Dash and the group looked at the changeling that was still conscious. Walking slowly up to it, the changeling instinctively backed away from them only for their hind legs to hit the edge of the railing. The group was slightly divided on the situation, the former aggressor of the initial fight having cowering before them. The changeling knew that no other changeling would be coming to stop them other than the ones in the main towers waiting to ambush them. The group of mares felt different about how the changeling was acting towards them; Rainbow Dash was sneering at the wounded and fearful changeling, Fluttershy was perturbed at being the one that made any other creature anxious, Rarity was odium about the creature and hardly felt any guilt towards its change in attitude, Pinkie Pie was conflicted on what was going on with the situation, Applejack was pitiless towards it for the way it tried to hurt her friends and lastly Twilight had conflicted feelings on the situation. Twilight on one hoof hated what the changelings are doing to the city and to princess Celestia but on the other hoof she felt that the changelings are following a bad leader with blind obedience.
Rainbow Dash reached down and grabbed the changelings neck before lifting them up onto their hooves before slamming their head into their face, giving both a bloody nose.

“Rainbow!”

Fluttershy shouted in shock, rushing between the two before spreading them apart. Twilight and Pinkie got between the changeling and Rainbow while Rarity and Applejack came to Rainbows side.

“What were you thinking! The changeling is defenseless!”

Twilight shouted at Rainbow Dash from witnessing the brutal attack on the changeling and the uncalled for abuse. But Rainbow Dash responded to Twilights accusations.

“The changeling would done the same thing to us! We can’t show mercy!”

Applejack spoke up, adding her input to the argument.

“Them varmints are trying to invade and enslave us! We need to squash them to paste!”

Pinkie Pie looked between the two, seeing the badly injured changeling try to crawl away before looking at her friends. Rarity began to add her side into the conversation, although being far more concerned about their fashion rather than the uncalled for behavior of Rainbow.

“Darling, these disgusting abominations are all completely uncultured and barbaric. They have no sense in fashion which is a crime I cannot even forgive…”

Fluttershy looked at both sides of her friends before moving over to join Dashes side. Twilight was appalled at her willingness to accept the brutality as the right choice, which thankfully Fluttershy spoke up to give her side of why she switched sides.

“They um… would have d.. done worse twilight…”

Rainbow Dash then spoke up with harsh criticism of Chrysalis, making Pinkie Pie doubt herself.

“Those bugs would probably have banned parties… if they even had parties to begin with…”

Pinkie Pie, simple as she was, couldn’t live without parties so she joined Dashes side leaving twilight to her own side.

“Not you too Pinkie…”

Twilight couldn’t believe that all her friends were ether willing too or were convinced otherwise to take Dashes cruelty as the morally right side.

“This is morally wrong! Why are you all willing to go far as… as…”

Twilight looked up, seeing a swarm of changelings slowly flying towards them, causing twilights eyes to widen.

“We’ll talk about this later! We got to go!”

The rest of the mane six saw the threat and ran with Twilight to the tower, opening it to be surrounded by changelings.

Fang was surrounded by a few of his brothers and sisters while others were with the unconscious and still half conscious survivors. Twilight and her friends were slowly being led through the fallen allies, suddenly the new brothers and sisters began to execute the fallen, by snapping their necks. Twilight and her friends were horrified at how cruel they were to eachother until a single changeling shouted in anger.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? They are our brothers and sisters!!!!!”

Two drones lifted the one changeling that shouted at them, revealing the changeling that was recently assaulted by Dash, a single drone bucked their hind hooves into their chest. Twilight and her friends winced in pain as they hey heard the changeling scream out in pain, Twilights eyes widen as the changelings chest chitin was cracked heavily. The other changelings chuckle, hearing their weaker brethren cry out in pain. The changelings head went limp from the pain as the changeling that bucked their chest faced them before raising their head with a hoof, seeing the injury on his eye. The changeling chuckled before speaking, the voice of the bug sounded ruthless.

“What a weakling you are Fang… how a mining drone survived this long is absolutely unbelievable, I will love to make a great example of you…”

Fang growled, spitting in the changelings face, the over confident changeling backed away as Fang spoke up.

“Go fuck yourself Pharynx!”

Pharynx looked up at Fang before wiping the bloody spit from his face before speaking up.

“Still a fighter with the odds against you… I’m impressed. The queen will enjoy the pleasure to execute you with these ponies.”

A changeling shoved Fang to the group of ponies, landing infront of Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow spoke up first, looking at the changeling called Fang.

“You got guts bug boy…”

Twilight leaned down, helping Fang up to his hooves as the changelings led the group toward the castle. Twilight tried to assist Fang to his hooves whenever he fell, only for his hoof to push her away gently.

“Please… don’t… let me die with some semblance of pride…”

Fang said weak as he got up, Applejack felt guilty of the changeling while admiring their stubbornness to take any help. The changeling reminded her of when she tried to farm the whole apple farm alone. Only when her friends helped her that she was able to get it done on time. Trotting over, Applejack helped up Fang onto his hooves despite his protest before Applejack softly spoke.

“Listen sugarcube… you can’t farm the whole farm on your own…. I tried… you need a couple of good friends and family to help you out through tough times.”

Fang looked at Applejack, smiling softly before speaking. Earning a groan from the changelings escorting them.

“Thank you.. Applejack… and I do apologize for my kinds invasion…”

A female changeling groaned loudly, hissing softly before yelling at them.

“Shut up! Your so called friendship is so pathetic!”

Fang looked at the changeling, growling before speaking.

Shut up, Venus! You call killing our wounded strong!? You are as weak as the grubs you stomp on to prove yourself strong..”

Fluttershy eyes widen, hearing that grubs were killed without any pity, hoping that it was just small insects. Venus spoke back in a snarky tongue, revealing Fluttershy’s fear.

“Those little fucks wouldn’t stop asking me for cuddles or food…”

Fluttershy’s eyes begin to tear up, hearing that the changeling Venus killed the children for selfish reasons.

Before Fluttershy could rip into her wings, they entered the throne room.

“-et away with this..”

The voice said from on the altar as a large insect queen came into view of the group of ponies entering the room. The voice that was talking was a small but still tall pink alicorn named Cadence, from how Chrysalis called her the princess of food. Chrysalis looked at the group entering the room with a smile before speaking with confidence.

“You were saying…?”

As the last of the group entered the room, the door was closed to prevent any escaping. Chrysalis looked at the group before she saw Fang among the group.

“Ah Fang.. one of my best mining drones, why are you among this rabble…?”

Fang looks at Chrysalis, growling softly as she wouldn’t have been told already.

“You should know already you holy whore..!”

Shortly after Fang said that, a blast of magic struck him and launched him into the wall. The same magic grabbed him and pulled him to her. Chrysalis chuckled softly, grinning evilly.

“Feisty~ you would have been a loyal mate for your lover… unfortunately you won’t have the chance ever…”

With a surge of magic, Chrysalis blasted Fang out of the throne rooms window. Laughing as Fangs screams left a horrifying reminder to everypony. Rainbow thought what Chrysalis said about how loyal a lover that Fang would have made, feeling slightly uncool for abusing him earlier. Chrysalis chuckled as she went to the broken window she blasted Fang out off, smirking as she watched her changelings terrify the population. While Chrysalis was distracted, Twilight freed Cadence who in turn freed Shinning Armor and preformed their famous shield spell to repel the changeling horde away from Canterlot, ending the invasion before Chrysalis could seize victory.

Derpy Hooves was flying around Ponyville when something flew past her, something small and black with a trail of green, and slammed through the Ponyville library’s window with a large crash. Derpy would have checked it out but she had mail to deliver and wash off whatever green slime was on her, so with a shake of her head Derpy continued her flight talking softly to herself.

“I just don’t know what went wrong…”

A break-in to a library, A surprising familiar acquaintance

A break-in to the library, A surprising familiar acquaintance

The changeling and the protege

A break-in to the library, A surprising familiar acquaintance

A medium sized black mass laid on the wooden floor with glass and green sludge surrounding the mass, with a groan the mass pushed up on their front hooves and got up. Looking around only able to see out of one eye, the mass saw a mirror and got a look at their face. The figure was a changeling with a blue eye and a green eye with something that happened to penetrated the changelings eye. Blinked quickly upon seeing the shard of glass in their eye, they grabbed the shard of glass in their eye before yanking it out causing them to begin screaming as green slime is splattered onto the mirror. The changeling felt dizzy from lack of energy, falling onto the floor and feeling about to pass out while blood drooled from their eye socket when something entered the library. The changeling couldn’t hear who it was but felt that if it was one of his kind then he was truly dead, so with a long sigh the changeling let the void take them.

??: Twilight…? Are you in here….? Did you get home already…? I can whip us up some daisy flowers before I….- AAAAAAGH CHANGELING!!!!!

Ponyville train station, two days after the canterlot invasion/ real wedding

Twilight and her friends including spike had left the train in a mixed mood while the others, save Twilight, left the train cabin in a happy mood for both beating back the invasion and celebrating a real royal wedding. Rainbow spoke up first, with her cocky attitude.

“That wedding was so cool! Well with me there it was 20% cooler with my sonic rainboom going off at the end”

Rarity brought a hoof up to her muzzle, chuckling softly.

“Darling, you must calm yourself before you tire yourself out… those dreadful changelings were absolutely horrendous…”

Applejack looked at Rarity, raising a brow as she started to complain.

“At least those varmints were blasted away… those evil snakes… they tried to make us their walking, talking cattle!”

Applejack said, bringing up her honest opinion on what the changelings would have done to them. Pinkie Pie bounced with her friends, not really having a decent argument nor a good point to bring up however Fluttershy brought up a very crucial question that couldn’t be ignored.

“W… what would’ve happened to… anypony t… that were too old…! W… would they have slaughtered them like they did to the group that we… injured to get the elements..?”

Everypony stopped for a moment, spike hadn’t been noticed by them so he chose to stay silent and let them explain what they were talking about. Spike wondered about why a changeling that had dual colored eyes, which he heard be called Fang, was with his friends and promptly blasted out a window by Chrysalis. Before Fluttershy continued, she saw spike and felt her heart clench in horror that he would ask her to explain what she meant so she gently looked down at spike before speaking softly.

“Spike um c.. can you please wait at the library… y.. you can’t hear about this t.. till you’re older…”

Spike responded with a hint of annoyance in his voice, he was being babied again even if he was a a year younger than them. Spike was at his mid eighteen years old and was quite old enough to hear what they were talking about the group of changelings she mentioned.

“I’m not a kid Fluttershy, I’m eighteen years old already..!”

Spike said as a hoof from an orange colored mare gently placed itself on his head and began to rub softly.

“Listen sugarcube, this won’t be a pretty subject for your ears… ah don’t want you to be traumatized by this information..”

Applejack spoke before her hoof was removed by spike, who was frustrated at being treated like a kid, before raising his voice.

“So watching Chrysalis blast this Fang out a window wasn’t traumatizing..?”

Applejack stubbornly looked away, not wanting to hear the fact that Fang was murdered by his queen while had apologized for his kinds invasion. Unfortunately, the airhead, Rainbow dash began to speak in her usual brash manner.

“They killed their own without hesitation… infront of our eyes… I’m far too awesome to be affected by that…”

Spike eyes widened, hearing that the other changeling killed their weak, while Fluttershy couldn’t handle it and ran off crying.

“Fluttershy! Wait don’t go alone..!”

Dash said before flying towards Fluttershy, both being quickly out of earshot. Spike was first to speak up after hearing the news.

“Applejack… is it true… did they kill their own….?”

Applejack looked away from the situation, her stubbornness giving spike his answer. Spike felt himself get sick before he turned away and bolted home. Pinkie pie, Rarity and Applejack looked at eachother before promptly giving each other a goodbye and going to their homes. Twilight however left the group earlier and had gone to the ponyville lake to drown out her sadness, it was the first time that a book will not be able to comfort her.

While twilight stared into the lake she began to recall everything about Fang and what he said..

“Let me die with some semblance of pride…”

“I apologize for my kinds invasion”

Fang was strong even after being beaten by both his kind and her friends including her. Twilight didn’t understand why she came to his defense, but felt it was the right thing to do, even if he was still a danger. The look on Fangs face as she and her friends approached him still lingers in her mind, a changeling terrified of her as she like she was a predator. Twilight looked up quickly, feeling her heart beating quickly as she felt powerful and in charge of Fang. Twilight’s face grew red as her mind became much more dirtier than possible, thinking of binding Fang to her lab table his with legs spread as she… Twilight screamed in embarrassment before shaking her head, she didn’t understand why she felt such weird and perverted thoughts. She tried to recall the yearly cycle of estrus, only to gulp as her week is coming in seven days. Twilight began to mentally make a list of what she’ll do once she got home before sighing softly, this week was going to be a nightmare and thank you Celestia spike is too young to consider a possible… another yell of anger came from her, she was far more along than she thought and needed a cold shower once she got… Twilights thoughts died mid way through as she saw spike running away terrified.

“Spike what’s wrong!?”

Twilight called out as she rushed up to the baby dragon, hugging tightly as spike started to whimper loudly. Twilight softly spoke up in a concerned manner.

“Spike whats the matter..?”

Spike spoke up quickly, still completely terrified.

“C… c…. CHANGELING in the library!!!!”

Twilight eyes widen as she let go of Spike and galloped towards the library in a panic, bursting through the door, quickly looking around the room. Unable to see the changeling, Twilight ran up stars seeing a large green puddle on the rug and a changeling by her bed. Twilight eyes widened, seeing glass in its chitin and how shredded their wings are. Shaking her head, she growled before saying threatened the threat. The changeling turned to face her, causing Twilight to gasp from how damaged the changelings condition was. The changeling coughed a bit blood before speaking weakly.

“Hello…. Twilight…”

The changeling fell onto the floor, going unconscious right after causing Twilight to call out in concern.

“FAAAAAAAANG!”

Ponyville hospital

Twilight had carried in Fang to the hospital reception, feeling absolutely worried that somepony that had just been recently killed to being alive in her house. Upon getting Fang inside the hospital staff took him into the and got him onto a gurney, taking him to surgery and leaving twilight to herself. While Twilight was waiting, she was hoping that Fang would make it and that the doctors are impartial to changelings. Twilight messes with her hooves as Rarity entered the hospital waiting room speaking with concern.

“Twilight are you ok darling!? Spikey wikey said that a changeling was in your library and when I didn’t see you in the home a… and saw all that vile blood on your carpet i immediately went to the hospital looking for you while spikey goes to get the others… a.. are you ok Twilight..?”

Twilight was so lost in thought that the next question that Rarity asked brought her out of her daze.

“So Twilight do you have a special somepony to spend the time with after..”

Twilight looked up shouting in fear, causing Rarity to blush madly.

“F.. Fang..!?”

Rarity held her mouth in shock, feeling completely uneasy about her choice in stallion.

“I… forget what I asked..”

“Rarity wait I didn’t mean to say… that..”

Rarity quickly left the hospital before hearing Twilights response as the others of her friends walked in, making everypony nervous. Fluttershy was the first to ask, feeling slightly confident at the moment then getting much more shyer.

“Twilight are you here for somepony… I… if you want to tell us..”

Applejack walked up to Twilight, gently touching her before pulling away.

“What in tarnation!? Twi! Your cold as ice…!”

Rainbow, Pinkie and Fluttershy all gently touched you before reading back as well. Twilight nodded and gave an amused smile before responding.

“It’s nothing…”

Twilight lied as she didn’t feel comfortable telling them why she was here, Fang is too injured to deal with her friends. Applejacks eye brow rose to give a knowing look to Twilight before speaking up.

“Twi, I know that’s a lie you know keeping it..-“

“Ms Sparkle… your doctor is ready”

A male nurse said, causing Twilight to stand up and quickly and move to the nurse.

“This way..”

The male nurse lead Twilight to an empty office, entering with her before shutting the door. Before Twilight could ask any questions about green fire consumed the nurse, and revealed a changeling that pinned her to the wall.

“Listen here you pompous bitch..! My brother is in huge pain because of you ponies and I may not show any love to him.. I do care so be warned… if my brother gets hurt anymore… I’ll kill all of ponyville and your brother!”

Twilight grunted in pain as the changeling held her to the wall, the changeling seemed to care for her brother to a degree. Before anything else happens, the changeling let her go and sneered. Backing up, the changeling huffed before speaking.

“This is your only warning, oh and I’m Venus if you’re wondering..”

Venus said, taking the form of Redheart before leaving twilight stared at the door, rubbing her neck before exclaiming.

“W… What the fuck..?”

However Rainbow didn’t want to wait for an answer and promptly followed the two before watching them enter an office, looking around and seeing she was alone she placed her ear against the door. Her hunch was correct and made Rainbow furious enough to ask a nurse at the desk about a new arrival. Lying to her about being her lover before getting their room number. Trotting to the door, Rainbow growled as she was ready to begin.

Fang groaned softly, waking him up as the bright light on his face made him wince and try and cover his face with his right hoof, only to find it cuffed to the hospital railing and a royal guard beside his bed. The guard looked over at Fang before sneering at him, still sore over the attempted coup but it was understandable. The door was soon opened, revealing Rainbow Dash with an angry look on her face before shouting.

“VENUS IS YOUR SISTER!?!? IM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS TILL YOUR NOTHING BUT GOO BY THE TIME IM DONE!”

A hospital incident, getting placed under house arrest and a restraining order

The changeling and the protege

A hospital incident, getting placed on house arrest and a restraining order

Inside the medical room of Ponyville Hospital, Fangs POV:

Fang felt terrified as Rainbow Dash threatened him with a vicious beatdown, finding it weird that she knows that Venus was his sister and had no clue what made her this angry at him. Fang shortly let out a girlish scream as Rainbow dash lunged at him, only to be halted by the guard.

“Ms Dash, you cannot attack a prisoner of war even if it’s what I would like to do right now..”

The guard said, staring down Rainbow dash as she let out a snort of anger. Unfortunately a fearful whine from Fang caused them to stare at him.

“C… can’t we be civil about this..?”

Fang asked, looking at the glares before shift away from them, before responding.

“N.. Never mind..”

Elsewhere in the hospital…

A sturdy unicorn stallion was moaning a nurse Red Heart was bobbing her head on their shaft, their eyes meeting as her eyes shined green before the unicorn passed out from a spell.

Ponyville Hospitals Receptionist area, Twilights POV:

Twilight walked up to the front desk, seeing nurse Red Heart organizing a couple of notes and files, of patients that were or just were admitted, before looking up and seeing her.

“Oh Twilight I didn’t hear you approaching… I take it that you’re here to visit the changeling?”

Twilight nodded looking a little guilty that it wasn’t for good news that she had to give him as Red Heart continued.

“The changeling is in room 105 and a royal guard is with them to prevent a escape or a feeding frenzy…”

Twilight thanked Red Heart before slowly trotting up to room 105. Taking a deep breath, Twilight prepared herself with the terrible words building up inside her when a sudden crash can be heard.

???: “You need to fuck off dyke!”

???: “Let me at him!!!”

Twilight’s eyes widen as she burst into the room, seeing the room in nearly perfect condition except for the royal guard holding Rainbow Dash back. Twilight shouted loudly, getting every pony’s attention.

“What is going on here!?”

The three in the room looked at Twilight before each once moving away from each other, each one looking guilty as the commotion brought in the rest of Twilights friends in. Fang let out a groan of annoyance as this was going to be a while.

===
8:59 pm several hours later
Fang’s Pov:

It was an absolutely nightmare to explain to the group of friends that why Fang consider Daring Doo to be a quote unoriginal and fairly unrealistic end quote, it’s not like he don’t like the series it’s just not his style. The whole ordeal of it was so brain numbingly dumb that he literally offered to rat out the hive to end the conversation, thankfully it worked as many of the others left, leaving him alone with Twilight and the guard. Twilight was the first to speak up, in a somber tone.

“Fang… I’m grateful that your willing to atone your species crime but… I have some bad news… due to being apart of it you are being sentenced for a court hearing that may or may not end… w… with your death…”

Fang stared at twilight, hearing that he might die for Chrysalis’s fault in the invasion but with a soft and warm smile, Fang responded.

“If it must be that way then at least my own small pathetic little attempt to seek vengeance will still happen… Alive or dead, Chrysalis will pay…”

Twilight looked away from Fang, trying in to hold tears as Fang continued.

“Don’t cry…. You don’t want to ruin that beautiful smile on you…”

Fang felt his heart tighten as he and Twilight blushed which caused the guard to step between the two. The guard spoke up, with a bit of professionalism and a lot of malice in his tone.

“Until the trial’s date, I’m going to put you bug on a restraining order to keep three feet away from Ms Sparkle.”

Fang and Twilights eyes widen, feeling a bit remorseful that they would be able to talk to eachother for a while. While they were distracted, the guard escorted Twilight out of the room before walking up to Fang before chuckling softly.

“So Fang… that is a very interesting name. It’s kinda of a shame that you and I know that even if you expose the hive that any changeling worth their weight will try to silence you once your status of being alive is confirmed.”

Fang looked at the guard, smiling softly which made the guard flinch. Fang spoke with a confident tone.

“If you were worth the salt of the others you’d relish the chance that the tyrant of a queen will fall… You and I know that Chrysalis will fall no matter what happens now… if the demand of food continues any longer then their will be a revolt and with our species being exposed the ponies will have to improve their identity and security… if not then I will do what must be done…”

The guard looked at Fang with concern, seeing their sole eye glow softly with a dark green, before Fang continued with a evil grin.

“If the ponies slack off with this I will push for a near complete genocide of the changelings. We must grow without the loyalists committing atrocities and crimes to ruin this opportunity..”

The guard was shocked at the change of attitude of Fang, something must’ve happened to make them much more cold blooded. Then the guard got an idea to try and snap them out.

“What about Twilight…? You’d do that to her heart…?”

Fang’s grin died as his expression softened, looking towards the door with concern. Fang’s eye returned to its natural colors as Fang let out a weak plea before passing out.

“N… no… d…. Don’t hurt my friend..”

The guard was again stunned, Fang had small traces of dark magic take hold of them but after hearing about Twilight being hurt made it confusing to understand their emotions, facing away from them before walking to the door. The guard let out a soft farewell before leaving as another guard took their place.

It was a month after the whole argument that made Fang feel lonely, a few of Twilights friends would come and quote on quote try to talk to him but he wouldn’t have it. It was midday of the Summer sun celebration that Fang would remember this day for a long time.

Next time on The Changeling and the Protege~~
