Chrysalis shifted forms and emerged from the shadows in the shape of her human persona. The changeling made no effort to hide her sudden appearance, her magically conjured shoes clacking against the tiled floor.

“Wh-what. Who’s th-” Noah began only to freeze when his gaze landed on Chrysalis.

“Relax Noah. Keep your voice down,” Chrysalis offered, though her tone carried a firmness to it that Noah couldn't help but obey.

“Crystal? What are you doing here?” Noah whispered.

“Why, for you to save me, of course,” Chrysalis continued, stepping close to the male and wrapping her arms around his shoulders. “I need a big, strong man like you to protect me from these evil robbers.”

“I uh... Oh uh yes of course!” Noah exclaimed, his eyes alighting with faint emerald whisps of light. “I’ll protect you! I promise, but I uh don't have a gun or anything.”

“Why would you need a weapon when you have such awesome muscles?” Chrysalis replied.

Noah looked down at his arms as if for the first time and realized that he had massive, bulging biceps. He did not notice how Chrysalis had plucked the phone from his grasp and tossed it in the garbage. No, his gaze was firmly fixed on his suddenly well-built body, and powerful physique.

“That's right? I am uh, strong? How could I forget that,” he muttered, eyes becoming increasingly green with each passing second.

“The stress of these bad guys attacking your bank must have caused you to misremember,” Chrysalis offered. “Right, mister Fritz?”

The young man shuddered, his smile growing as his confidence swelled.

“Yes, of course! I was just so caught up in… everything that I couldn't help but forget. However, you-you’ve helped me remember!” Noah exclaimed.

“Of course,” Chrysalis hissed, sliding around the man and resting her chin on his shoulder. “And I can help you even more, but first you have to get rid of that mean man with the shield.”

“Blocker? I couldn't. I’m working with h-I mean he is uh-” Noah stumbled.

“It's okay. I know you are working with them and I think that's a great idea,” Chrysalis whispered, running her hands up and down his chest.

“R-really? I mean of course it's a good idea. It was my plan so it has to have been a smart move,” Noah proclaimed, sticking out his chest.

“Exactly but don't you think it's better to double-cross them?” Chrysalis purred. “You are the brains and the brawn of the operation after all.”

“You-you’re right!” Noah replied. “I orchestrated all of this. I was the mastermind, I deserve a bigger cut! No! I deserve it all!”

“And once you secure the money we can run away together. How does that sound… lover?” Chrysalis asked, her honeyed words slipping into the young man’s brain and smoothing out any qualms he may have with the changeling’s suggestion.

“That sounds like a great idea! I’ll do it!” Noah proclaimed, spinning around and nearly knocking Chrysalis over. “I’ll beat him up, take command of the robbers, and together we’ll make out like bandits. Then we’ll just make out!”

“Wonderful idea,” Chrysalis exclaimed, rubbing the point of her jaw where Noah had accidentally elbowed her. “Just one suggestion though.”

“Anything for you, Crystal,” Noah immediately replied.

“Call him into here. You wouldn't want your fight to get interrupted by any of those other goons now would you?” Chrysalis offered. “Not like you couldn't take them all at once though, you big hunk.”

“Excellent! Two against one. Not like I need your help or anything,” Noah dismissed, waving a hand at Chrysalis.

“Of course not,” Chrysalis muttered through grit teeth. “Just wait one moment dear.”

Chrysalis ducked behind a counter and released the disguise which hid her horn from sight. The long, crooked mass of chitin that sprouted from her forehead may look a bit out of place on her human disguise but it was necessary. Complicated magic just wasn't possible while fully disguised, and she would need something a bit more powerful than a sleep spell.

Weaving a complex array of runes, Chrysalis released the energy and allowed it to flow out into the room. The matrix of glowing emerald symbols sunk into the walls, roof, and floor, causing them to light up for a few seconds before returning to normal. The effect was subtle but instantaneous, with what little sound there was being cut off completely.

“Alright, you big hunk. Call him in and knock him dead,” Chrysalis called.

“Yes, right away Crystal!” Noah exclaimed before hastily jogging towards the exit.

Chrysalis didn't pay him much attention, instead transforming herself into a fly, and making her way up onto the large overhead exhaust array. From there she sat, and waited, watching as a grinning Noah returned a few seconds later. Though briefly surprised by Chrysalis’ sudden disappearance, he took it in stride and stood roughly underneath the disguised changeling.

“Why the hell did you do that?” Blocker demanded, bursting into the room and glaring at Noah. “You made it sound like we are working together, you idiot.”

“I am no fool. In fact, I am the mastermind of this whole operation and it is about time that you all learned your place,” Noah proclaimed.

Blocker nearly tripped he was so startled by the sudden and ridiculous declaration, though he caught himself before that could happen.

“What the fuck are you talking about kid? You're the stool pigeon. Nothing more,” Blocker retorted.

“Of course, a muscle-bound meathead like you would say something like that,” Noah exclaimed, smirking to himself.

“The hell happened to you, man? You suddenly get a death wish all of a sudden?” Blocker bellowed, getting right up into the smaller man’s face, and breathing down his neck.

“No. I have just realized that you aren't worth the cut. Not while the true muscle is waiting in the wings!” Noah declared, cocking his fist.

“Don't do it, kid. I told Mysterious that I wouldn't off the informant but if you-” Blocker lectured, only to be interrupted when Noah punched him in the face.

The taller, more grizzled man barely flinched, the strike hitting him with all the force of a pool noodle. Noah punched him again, this time using his other fist though it did even less than the first one did. His confidence rapidly waning, Noah tried to go for a third attack only for his fist to get caught by Blocker, whose large hand wrapped completely around the smaller man’s fist.

“You have fucked up royally kiddo,” Blocker muttered through grit teeth.

“N-now let’s not do anything-”

This time it was Noah’s turn to be interrupted, as Blocker struck him in the face with enough force to make him stumble back a step. A second haymaker dislocated the ratlike human’s jaw, and a third jab shattered his nose into a million tiny pieces. The out of shape bank worker hit the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, unconscious before he even struck linoleum.

“I fucking told you not to try it,” Blocker muttered, looming over the downed male. “Now how the fuck am I going to explain this to Miss Mysterious?”

Chrysalis used his moment of confusion to launch her own attack.

Transforming into a slightly modified version of her human form with a horn, and an extra set of arms, Chrysalis would barely pass as human. That didn't matter though, the room was sealed from sound and outside interference, the only thing that concerned her now was taking out Blocker. An easy enough task given his completely unaware state, with Chrysalis able to land on his back, pin his arms against his side, and bite down into his neck in a single fluid motion.

The man could barely manage a startled yell before he tumbled face first to the ground, pinned under Chrysalis’ increased weight.

“Get the fuck off me you freak,” Blocker demanded.

Flexing hard, the super-powered human attempted to overpower the changeling but was not successful. Though strong, abnormally so, Chrysalis had wrestled dragons in her day, and compared to one of them, the man was but a mewling child.

“Help! Get in here, all of you!” Blocker shouted.

Pumping the last of her venom into the man, Chrysalis retracted her fangs and pulled away from his neck.

“It's pointless,” she whispered. “No one’s coming to save you.”

Blocker growled bitterly and conjured a solid mass of blue light that expanded outward, catching Chrysalis by surprise. Forced to break her grapple, the changeling shifted her body and turned her sudden toss into a surprisingly graceful backflip.

“I don't know know what you did to me but it wont matter,” Blocker growled, rising into an unsteady stand.

The man extended his arm, fingers splayed, and summoned a scattershot of fast-moving blue projectiles. The tiny square-shaped shields tore through stovetops, cupboards, pots, and pans, before sticking into the walls and floor. None hit Chrysalis, who had turned back into a fly and was currently hanging from the ceiling, watching her opponent.

“What? Where the fuck did you go?” He growled. “Don't tell me you’re actually a stalker.”

Oh, I could go invisible, but why waste the effort? Chrysalis thought to herself.

“Fuck this. I’m going to get… help?” Blocker muttered.

Stumbling forward, the man hit the shattered remains of a fridge and held onto it. His legs trembled, and his knees were weak but he forced himself back into a stand.

“Not like this. It can't end like this,” he muttered.

He took a few more shaky steps and nearly reached the door before suddenly going limp. His forehead hit the ground hard, bouncing off and making a loud konk noise. Though painful, his fall had not killed him, as he continued to lay there, breathing slowly but strongly.

Dramatic idiot. Chrysalis thought to herself as she returned to her human form. All my venom does is put you to sleep.

With a bit of telekinesis, Chrysalis dragged the two unconscious bodies over to a corner and piled them up. She then paused and placed them on their sides just in case. She didn't want them to end up dying on her after she’d gone to so much trouble to not kill them.

“Now then,” Chrysalis began, plucking the ear piece from Blocker and placing it in her own ear. “Testing testing, one two three and we’re good.”

Chrysalis cleared her throat.

“We’ve located another of the bank staff. There is only a single individual unaccounted for,” Chrysalis declared after tapping the button on the small device.

“Blocker? Oh, good. Do you have any leads on the final person?” The voice of Miss Mysterious replied.

“We do. Should have them in custody within a few minutes,” Chrysalis replied, still using Blocker’s voice.

“Excellent. Things are proceeding according to plan. Keep it up,” Mysterious declared.

“Will do, boss,” Chrysalis concluded.

“Boss? Whatever, just keep on it,” Mysterious retorted before the line went dead.

“Now, onto the easy part,” Chrysalis began, only to pause just as she was about to take out the ear piece. “Better keep this on. Just in case.”

Assuming the form of Blocker, Chrysalis stepped back into the main cafeteria area and looked around.

“Each of you is getting reassigned for a special task but to retain operational integrity I will have you enter the kitchen one by one to receive your orders,” Chrysalis declared, pointing at one of the goons. “You, wait thirty seconds then enter. After that, you will go next and we will proceed until all of you have your orders.”

“Yes, boss!” Shouted the closest goon, while the others muttered their agreement in less excited tones.

“Good. I’ll be waiting,” Chrysalis retorted.

The changeling took a step back and closed the door, she then returned to her slightly modified human disguise. With her horn back, the changeling made a quick knock-out rune on the floor two steps from the door. After that, she became Blocker once more and waited a few seconds for her first arrival.

“What are your orders, sir?” The goon asked.

Chrysalis didn't have to reply, as the man stepped on the rune right as the door closed behind him. In a flash, he was unconscious, snoring loudly before he even had a chance to hit the ground. Impact with the floor didn't bother the male and he continued to snore as Chrysalis dragged him over to the other side of the room.

“One down, eleven more to go,” Chrysalis muttered to herself.

“Yo boss are you sure it's a good idea to leave the hostages unsuper-” was all the last goon managed to say before stepping on the rune and getting knocked out.

Her body was tossed in the corner with the rest of the snoring goons. Though the mound had started off fairly organized, by the end Chrysalis was just tossing them in a heap with little care. They weren't crushing one another so it was probably fine, either way, Chrysalis didn't care enough to look.

“Well, that’s done with,” Chrysalis muttered to herself.

Striding back into the cafeteria, Chrysalis noticed that although the hostages hadn't fled, a few of them were eying the door. However, that stopped the moment she entered the room, with nearly everyone present staring at her in confusion.

“I’ve taken care of the goons,” Chrysalis proclaimed. “And we’ll be getting out of here in a second but I need you all to remain quiet, and not panic okay?”

“How did you-”

“What are you doing-”

“What powers do you-”

“What the fuck did I just say about staying quiet!” Chrysalis hissed. “There are others still out there do you want them to hear you?”

Glaring at each of the most flighty of humans seemed to calm things down for the moment though Chrysalis could tell they were on the verge of freaking out again. Thankfully the bit of changeling magic she had added to her words had smoothed things over enough that the situation was still salvageable.

“Now, line up near this window,” Chrysalis ordered.

Using a bit more magic to make the more reluctant of the bunch to comply, Chrysalis ensured no one strayed. The effort was mostly unnecessary, as the scared humans began to assemble near the large cafeteria window almost immediatly. While they did that, Chrysalis grabbed one of the large cafeteria tables, turned it over, and chopped the legs off. A decisive strike with her hand was all it took to remove the wooden appendages, making the table completely flat. She then picked up the nearly ten-foot long, and two-inch thick former table and dragged it over to the window.

“I am going to create a bridge between this building and the other. Once you get onto the roof, use their fire escape to get down to ground level,” Chrysalis declared.

She didn't wait to see if everyone understood her and jumped straight into kicking out the window. With glass raining down on the narrow alleyway behind the bank, Chrysalis dragged the table into position, turning it into a bridge.

“What are you waiting for go!” Chrysalis urged.

The first human nervously crossed the expanse but was relieved to find that it didn't sag or shift under their weight. In no time at all people were crossing over onto the roof of the neighboring building, muttering their thanks to Chrysalis before doing so. The positive emotions were nice, and did were surprisingly nourishing.

Human emotion is even more powerful than the love of a pony. Chrysalis thought to herself.

Brushing off the thanks, and the idle ponderings for the moment, Chrysalis turned to view the line. They were making good time, with several humans taking positions on either side and helping others through in a timely manner. Despite that, there were a lot of people working at this location and the line was long and not perfectly organized yet.

“This is gonna take way too long,” Chrysalis muttered aloud.

Her fears were realized when she heard the earpiece buzz, a voice coming from within.

“Blocker. Status report. Now,” demanded the furious voice of Miss Mysterious.

Crap. Chrysalis thought, clearing her throat and altering her vocal cords.

“Nothing new to report I’m afraid. Final target has continued to evade capture,” Chrysalis replied, ducking behind the salad bar to avoid the bank staff overhearing her.

“Did you send someone to the vault room?” The stern female voice demanded.

“No, not that I’m aware of anyway. Why?” Chrysalis asked.

“Do you see anything strange on that floor?” Miss Mysterious pressed.

“Is there something I should be looking for?” Chrysalis prodded.

There was a long, pregnant pause, during which Chrysalis could feel a thin strand of nervous sweat drip down her spine. When finally Chrysalis could take it no more and was about to ask another question, the line crackled to life, and the voice returned.

“I don't know who you are or what your agenda is here, but you’ve messed with the wrong fucking crew,” growled the bitter voice of Miss Mysterious.

“I don't know what you-” Chrysalis began.

“Cut the crap, we found Driller, and Zap can sense an escape from all the panicked phone calls being sent out by those people you saved,” Miss Mysterious retorted.

Screw subtlety. It never was my strong suit. Chrysalis thought.

“Fine,” Chrysalis began again, using her human disguise’ speaking voice. “I suppose the jig is as they say, up.”

“I have a question for you,” Miss Mysterious remarked, her anger held behind a thin veneer of curiosity. “Why did you have to stick your nose in our business? No one got hurt, hell even the corpos didn't lose money due to insurance they have on this place, why did you have to muck this up?”

“Honestly? Because you got in my way,” Chrysalis replied, running a hand through her hair. “I had a good thing going and your little robbery attempt threw a wrench in that.”

“That's it? You doomed us to life imprisoned on the rock and you did it all because we interrupted whatever the hell you had going on here?” Miss Mysterious demanded.

“Pretty much,” Chrysalis answered, shrugging to herself. “What can I say? I’m spiteful.”

“Start praying,” buzzed a crackling new voice. “Because when I get up there you and your friends are gonna fried I tell you, FRIED!”

The line clicked, going dead.

“Friends, what are you…” Chrysalis glanced over at the long line of people still clambering out through the window. “Stars above.”

Chrysalis tossed the earpiece away and began sprinting towards the window only to stop after a few feet. Screeching to a halt, she looked out over the line of nervous-looking people shuffling towards safety. They were scared, terrified even, but when they looked at her Chrysalis saw hope in their eyes.

Despite her powers, despite the unknowns they raised, and despite some of the fear they felt for her, there was a trust there. No matter how that trust had been born, it was there, and it was powerful. Her magical reserves had waned somewhat due to just how out of practice she had become but she could feel them refilling steadily. These strangers, these humans, felt every emotion more intensely than a pony, and what her presence prompted was a feeling of safety, even security for some.

“Ohh for the love of-” Chrysalis muttered, clasping a hand against her head. “If Twilight could see me now I’m sure she’d say something naive and dramatic. Would probably even give some lecture on friendship too.”

Chrysalis sighed.

“At least she can't see me now,” Chrysalis whispered.

“Umm Crystal, is something wrong?” Asked a female voice.

Chrysalis looked up to find that the polite receptionist who always made extra coffee had exited the line to speak to her.

“It's alright. Just gotta go do hero stuff,” Chrysalis dismissed, waving a hand at the window. “You guys just keep getting outta here. Things might get a little messy.”

“We’ll uh, we’ll do that Crystal, or uh should I call you by your hero name?” The human asked.

“I uh don't have one yet. I wasn't exactly planning on this,” Chrysalis muttered.

“Okay, well either way thank you, Crystal. I always knew you were a good person,” the receptionist murmured, giving the changeling a weak smile before returning to the line.

Chrysalis sighed again.

“Everyone on this plane is insane,” Chrysalis spat. “Oh well, what do they say here again? When in Rome?”

The sudden whiff of rage brought the changeling back to reality. She glanced in the direction it was coming from and immediately deduced that the super-powered robbers were ascending rapidly. Likely taking the elevator up to the current floor there were only two rooms between the former hostages and the incoming robbers.

Muttering a curse under her breath, Chrysalis took off toward the elevator’s entrance. Passing through one hallway and into another, she arrived at a long high ceilinged section flanked on either side by tall pillars. For a moment Chrysalis thought she had time to work her magic, to lay a trap, but then the doors dinged and both Miss Mysterious and Zap appeared in the opening, both glaring daggers at Chrysalis.

“You’re going to regret your actions this day, worm!” Spat the dark-skinned woman, charging out ahead of her partner.

“Somehow being called a worm is even worse than a cockroach,” Chrysalis muttered to herself.

The changeling ducked under a bolt of electricity before leaping behind one of the pillars before a second could hit her. Continuing her momentum, Chrysalis turned into a fly and kept going around the corner until she was flying right at them.

“She’s class A shifter, mass dispersal,” Miss Mysterious exclaimed, pointing up at Chrysalis. “Wide area of effect!”

“Got it,” Zap replied.

The other woman stepped forward and banged her golden wristbands together before thrusting her palms up in Chrysalis’ direction. The changeling barreled forward, hoping to beat the attack only to meet a wave of electricity that rippled over the entire room. Though it was barely enough to frazzle the shapeshifter’s nerves it broke her concentration and caused Chrysalis to switch forms. Only quick thinking kept her from turning back into her base form, instead shifting back into her human disguise before hitting the ground in a roll.

“I need a sec,” Zap exclaimed.

“Got it,” Miss Mysterious shouted.

The show woman extended her arms above her head before throwing them out and creating a wide circle with her limbs. Like a runic array being completed, a wave of rippling blue energy cascaded over the landscape. Though the pair vanished from sight, Chrysalis could taste their nervous energy and knew they were splitting up, taking cover behind the pillars.

“That won't save you from me,” Chrysalis hissed.

Sprinting the last of the way, Chrysalis leaped at the empty spot she knew Zap stood. The startled yelp and blast of undirected electricity confirmed that Chrysalis had indeed found her prey. The blast also knocked the changeling back, stunning her for a moment.

If I didn't have to focus on this stupid human form this would be so much easier. Chrysalis thought to herself. But I can't reveal myself, not even to these two.

“Invisibility doesn't work, but she appears weak to electricity,” Miss Mysterious declared a second before the pair were visible once more.

“I have no weaknesses,” Chrysalis growled.

A quick flicker of green flame revealed a long jagged horn, allowing Chrysalis access to her magic just in time to catch Zap’s arms in a telekinetic grip. The human’s limbs suddenly shot straight up, her built-up charge exploding into the ceiling and punching a hole through several floors. The high-voltage woman could only look on in confusion as Chrysalis lurched forward, arms extended. Suddenly a foot taller than she had been a second ago, and far wider, Chrysalis grabbed the human’s wrists in a crushing grip.

“That is enough out of you,” Chrysalis growled.

“Let go of me, you freak!” Zap shouted, sparks shooting from her fingertips.

“I’ll show you who’s a freak,” Chrysalis retorted.

With a twist, Chrysalis snapped the girl’s wrists before bringing her scream of pain to an abrupt end with a sharp head butt. The impact didn't kill, though it did knock her unconscious, causing her to collapse to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. No sooner had she dealt with one opponent had the other made her move.

A wave of blue filled Chrysalis’ vision and suddenly she was transported to what looked like a hellish realm straight out of a movie. Fire filled every corner, and screams could be heard echoing from all directions. Demonic creatures with far too many limbs, and blood-red skin eyed Chrysalis hungrily, their pitchforks poised and ready.

“Welcome to hell, bastard,” muttered a familiar voice.

“Cute,” Chrysalis muttered. “But ineffective. What do you hope to do? Scare me to death?”

“No, just give us a bit of room to talk,” Miss Mysterious replied, her voice emanating from everywhere and nowhere.

“And what would you have to say to me?” Chrysalis pressed, pausing to sniff the air. “I thought you intended to kill me and then all the hostages.”

“You were right about that first part true, but I’ve had a change of heart,” Miss Mysterious stated calmly.

“Oh really?” Chrysalis asked incredulously.

“No, it's the truth. I’ve seen your powers and I want to recruit you,” Miss Mysterious continued, while her demons bayed with laughter, jabbing their weapons in Chrysalis’ direction. “Think of how easy it would be to rob these chumps with you on our side!”

“I don't play second fiddle to anyone. Especially not a dime store illusionist,” Chrysalis retorted.

“How dare you say such a thing! I am an A-class trickster. Not some bumpkin who can barely conjure a butterfly,” Miss Mysterious shot back.

“Oh, you can do the visuals pretty well. Even the sound, but you can't hide the scent of hate that wafts from you like the stink from an open sewer,” Chrysalis boldly proclaimed.

Spinning in place, Chrysalis reached up and caught Miss Mysterious at the wrist, stopping her just before she could stab the changeling with a long pointed knife. The illusion crumbled, and suddenly Chrysalis was staring face to-face with the startled human.

“What, how-”

“I’m tired of your voice,” Chrysalis interrupted.

A blast of magic knocked the human into a deep sleep. A second later, the knife fell to the ground shortly before Chrysalis released the robber and allowed her to fall as well.

“Why do they always talk so much?” Chrysalis muttered to herself.

“It's the ego. These bad guys love hearing their own voice,” declared a voice.

Chrysalis spun around, ready to unleash her magic on whoever had snuck up on her only to stop.

“Woah there, I’m on your side,” stated a floating woman wearing purple and blue tights with an M emblazoned on her chest. “Mind Over Matter, at your service, but you can just call me Em, everyone does.”

As Chrysalis stood there in stunned confusion, a pair of handcuffs floated over to the downed Miss Mysterious, clicking over her wrists.

“Wait Em? You’re-” Chrysalis began.

“Leader of the Sentinels? I know but don't let that intimidate you. I’m not here to arrest anyone, err not you anyway,” Em replied, weaving back and forth in the air as she talked.

“I was going to say Cassandra’s girlfriend,” Chrysalis retorted.

“Wait, she told you about me, but that's a huge breach in-” the woman gasped, and threw out her arms. “You must be Crystal! Cassandra barely got a word in edgewise before I flew off to save her, she must have been talking about you!”

“Err yeah probably. That's me. Crystal that is,” Chrysalis muttered somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh my goodness she was going to ask you out today! How did that go?” Em asked, floating right up until she was nearly in Chrysalis’ face.

“She never got the chance,” Chrysalis replied.

This chick feels with the intensity of a hurricane. Chrysalis thought to herself. Not even Cadance had such potent love in her.

“Oh no!” Em shrieked, flying back and clutching at her chest. “I totally ruined the surprise!”

“Don't worry, I had a feeling she was going to ask something like that,” Chrysalis quickly interjected, causing the sudden outburst of hopeless despair to swerve back into intense excitement.

“That is wonderful! So what are you going to say? No wait, don't tell me. We can have that chat later,” Em exclaimed. “I’m supposed to ask you some questions and stuff first.”

“I’m not in trouble am I?” Chrysalis asked, glancing past the super towards the nearest exit.

“Definitely not,” Em proclaimed. “I mean they might try something but like hell I’m going to let anything happen to my girlfriend's girlfriend.”

Humans are weird. Chrysalis thought to herself.

“Err alright then… ask away,” Chrysalis encouraged.

“I’m supposed to interrogate you and stuff but that sounds like, super lame so I’m just gonna skip towards the important question and ask you…” Em flew forward and held her hand close to Chrysalis’ mouth as if she were holding a microphone. “What is your name?”

“You mean like my superhero name?” Chrysalis replied.

“Duh,” Em exclaimed, rolling her eyes and chuckling. “I ain't asking for your full legal name. At least not right now anyway. We will need that info for when we make you your badge thing but we’ll talk about that later.”

“I uh haven't given it much…” Chrysalis trailed off, a half-forgotten memory popping into her head.

She recalled a story a member of her adopted family had told her. It had been of a creature of legend, a shapeshifter to be exact. Originally Chrysalis had thought she had been found out but the old woman telling the story had held no animosity in her heart.

She just kept telling her tale, informing Chrysalis of an old story of a woman who lived out in the desert that had mystical powers. She would transform into a cat, and prowl the town, causing mischief and righting wrongs. Though cruel, sometimes she was the only kind of justice the people could ever hope for.

And they called her

“Nagual,” Chrysalis answered. “You can call me Nagual.”
