The renegade (Alt title: the new recruit)

Prologue

Canterlot dungeon

  Obsidian just sat there in his cell while watching the royal guards pass by. As he sat their he thought about what Miedo said.

7 Days earlier

  "So." she said. "The traitor comes to see my prison." Miedo looked at him. "You should be lucky Obsidian that he spared your life." She said as she moved in closer. "You should learn that love isn't the only thing. But friendship is." Obsidian chuckled. "Yeah sure."

Present day

  "Maybe she's right." He thought. "What no she isn't! We shall never join these lowlifes?" He had a hate for the ponies for what they did to their queen. "Yet why would Celestia forgive her and us?"

8 days earlier

  As Obsidian was hiding behind the library wall he saw Miedo talking to Celestia "I know what happened." She said. "You tried to convince Chrysalis to join my side and you were banished because of it. I understand what you tried to do." Miedo sighed. "I just thought you two would get along if I made her join you."

"Chrysalis will never get along with some hag not now not ever you idiot." Obsidian thought

Twilight was shocked at what she sees. "Princess!" Twilight said. "I could you trust her? She could be tricking us." Celestia looked to Twilight. "My faithful student. You must understand even after what the Changelings have done I do not wish to use violence. Even if it's an enemy of Equestria." Obsidian was shocked by what she said. Even though they tried to take over Equestria she was forgivable to them. "You arrogant fool!" He thought as he fired his Shockwave at Twilight.

Present day

  He then started to think back to when he was just a soldier.

7 years ago before the attack

  Obsidian was hit to the ground by a Manticore and just when everything was going to end the claw passed through him. As the fake Manticore disappeared Chrysalis appeared in the training room to see not only her second-in-command on the floor but all her soldiers as well. "Blackout!" She called to one of them that was standing with holographic boards floating. "What is the status of my soldiers?" Blackout shrugged.

"Well...it Seems that they can't even handle...one Manticore" Blackout squeed

"UGH....soldiers!" She called as they tried to get on their feet. "I thought you all could handle one Manticore, ONE MANTICORE and yet you still can't defeat one?" She then turned to see the one in the middle. "As for you Obsidian my second-in-command." She said as the other Changelings moved away as there was only one in the middle. " YOU HAVE FAILED ME!" She shouted as she shot him with her magic. "Please my Queen!" Obsidian pleaded.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF YOUR PLEADING!" She shouted. "First you failed to destroy a parasprite, then you failed to command artillery units which destroyed half of my building, and then you plead for forgiveness you're a disgrace to my army and you don't deserve second-in-command!"

"But I'll make things right!" Pleaded Obsidian again.

The Queen growled but calmed herself. "Fine but on one condition." She said." Find an area that has love that we can steal from. And don't come back until you find it." Obsidian was relived and did what she said.

"As for the rest of you." She said. "Continue your training."

Present day

  "I tried all I can to please her. But there was nothing I could do." He thought "Only the first time she was pleased with something with me for once.

6 days ago before the attack

  The Queen read the report by Obsidian wrote to her and for the first time she was pleased for what he has done. " At last Obsidian you have finally done something right for once." he smiled at what she said. "Thank you my Queen." he said

"Don't get all too happy about it." Chrysalis said as she walked out of her throne.

Present day

  "That was the only time she was proud of me." Obsidian thought as he heard talking above him. He decided to use a spell to hear what they're saying.

Throne room

  "I'm afraid that your advisor is not available." The soldier said. "He says that his mother was about to pass away so he couldn't come."

"I understand." She said. "I will make sure his mother gets a proper burial."

The dungeon

  Obsidian was shocked at what he heard, the princess wasn't mad or furious but calm and understanding and was about. "Why is she so calm about him not coming?" He thought as he laid down on his head on a pillow. "Ugh..Ill figure it out tomorrow."
