What if Emziko was Canon?

"You better have a lot of reason to be accusing one individual for an entire war." Emziko said.

"Would said reasoning be that Chrysalis managed to find a way to control other changeling royals, and thus their drones by extension be good enough reasoning for you?" The changeling with Cadence asked.

"Wait, that's a thing?" Spike asked.

"No changeling is sure how Chrysalis managed to gain control over other hive rulers. Or more accurately, no changeling wants to figure out how she did it." The Changeling said. "But all can agree on one thing: Her ability to manipulate so many hive rulers at once was stretched to it's limits when the war happened."

"So, when the control started to weaver thanks to the war, the hive rulers who could remove themselves from this Chrysalis's clutches fled to other distant lands." Emziko reasoned.

"Exactly. My own mother was one of those hive rulers in paricular." The changeling said.

"Oh, so you're like a changeling prince then." Spike said.

"Something like that; except for the fact that my mother died about three years ago." The Changeling Royal said. "Which technically makes me the current ruler of the hive."

"What do you mean technically?" Emziko asked.

"There hasn't been an outright changeling royal that has been male until me. Traditionally, all have been female." The King said.

"Hey, if you find yourself a changeling gal you really like, to the point that she becomes your significant other, wouldn't that basically still follow tradition to a degree?" Spike asked.

"That's...surprisingly insightful. Honestly, I never would've thought of that." The King said.

And another example of how Spike is keeping up the reasons for why Purple Dragons are so revered. Emziko thought to herself. "Well, I suppose we can trust you for the time being. Make no mistake, if you do something sneaky, I'll make sure Celestia has your head for it."

"Duly noted, even if that's unnecessary." The King said.

"We've spent long enough. We need to go save the wedding." Spike said.

"Agreed." Emziko said.

Thankfully, the foursome managed to expose the fake cadence without much issue at all. Though the imposter turned out to be...

"Queen Chrysalis..." The Changeling King said. The king was currently disguised as a normal earth pony for the time being.

"So one of the ponies has heard of me. How interesting. I didn't think my name was that widespread." Queen Chrysalis said.

While Emziko could barely stand the burnt cockroach smell coming from the queen, she did notice one other thing. No wonder the blame could fall so squarely on this queen's shoulders; there's some other smell here besides the typical burnt cockroach smell, and I know it too well... Emziko thought to herself. "IT WAS YOU! YOUR THE ONE THAT KIDNAPPED ALL THOSE PONIES!"

"The fact that my cover got blown so easily by two dragons is ironic in a sense. Though, you'll have to be more specific." Queen Chrysalis said. "After all, I've had lots of ponies kidnapped and turned into dried husks over the years."

"I'm talking about three years ago, when you raided an entire village out in a very heat heavy area of Equestria." Emziko said.

"You must be talking about the village known for it's wildfires. Yes, that was me. They were so easy to kidnap. With how long ago that was, they are amongst the dried husks I mentioned before." Queen Chrysalis said.

"You...you killed every last one of them..." Emziko said.

"Technically, their still alive. They're just essentially vegetables now." Queen Chrysalis said.

"You mean they're catatonic?!" Twilight exclaimed.

"...What's catatonic?" Emziko asked.

"It's a state where your alive, but your brain more or less has stopped sending any signals to the rest of your body. It's basically like a coma, but it's one you'll never awake from." Twilight said.

"Th-that sounds like a fate worse then death..." Fluttershy said.

"Effectively, that is a very true statement." Twilight said.

"YOU...YOU FUCKING MONSTER!" Emziko was pratically enraged. But then, she had a thought. "Spike, you need to give this Changeling Queen her just deserts."

"Wh-how?!" Spike asked.

"If you do nothing, all your friends and this entire country are going to end up just like that village I came from. Do you want that?" Emziko asked.

"No...no I don't..." Spike suddenly felt some kind of energy coursing through him. "I don't want that...this is not her place. Not her place..."

"...Wait what's happening?" Celestia asked.

"Wait, she's the one asking that?!" Queen Chryaslis exclaimed.

"Not her place...not her land..." Spike was starting to grow to his Spikzilla form.

"Uh...can someone tell me why this is happening outside of Spike being greedy?" Twilight asked.

"I don't think this is dragon greed causing this..." Celestia said.

"NOT HER PLACE...NOT HER LAND...SPIKE WILL NOT ALLOW!" Spike was suddenly his spikezilla form.

"Spike's gone all Spikezilla again!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Spikezilla? Really?" Emziko asked.

"Too late, I'm totally spreading that name around~" Pinkie Pie said.

"Oh...oh you've got to be kidding me..." Queen Chrysalis suddenly looked like she was sweeting bullets. "I should've realized what kind of dragon this one was..."

"YOU NO TAKE LAND! YOU PAY FOR CRIMES! SPIKE MAKE YOU PAY!" Spike roared and then proceeded to easily beat Chrysalis up by repeatedly beating her to the ground swing style.

"Since when could Spike do this?" Celestia asked.

"This is kind of cathertic for me to watch~" Emziko said, eating popcorn.

"Where'd you get that popcorn from?" Cadence asked.

Emziko pointed to Pinkie Pie, who also had popcorn. "Where'd she get that from?" Celestia asked.

"Don't ask." Practically the rest of the main six said.

Eventually, Spike stopped and reverted to normal; breathing deeply. Chrysalis was still alive, but the fact she was after that was nothing shy of a miracle. "...Of...all...the dragons...why...did it have...to be a Purple..." Chrysalis said before she proceeded to pass out.

"How...was I able to do that?" Spike asked, flexing his claws in front of his face.

"And what did Chrysalis mean when she called Spike purple?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We can talk after the wedding; for now, I think things are looking up." Emziko said.
