The Power of Love v2

The changeling squad hovered high above Ponyvile, getting a good view of the town. The red-eyed changeling made a few clicks, signaling the few changelings just outside of the area. Changelings have developed their own language overtime by using simple clicks and noises. Don't ask me how it works, it just does. He was signaling the few on the ground to make a distraction.

"Make some sort of distraction. Its getting dark and I don't want to wait another nine or so hours to get these ponies."

"Yes general!" The changelings on the ground moved in.

"So what kind of distraction should we make?" They said to each other.

"I don't know?"

"How about you take out that Ice Cream Vendor and I'll go work on the other side of town."

"Deal."

Two changelings flew into the dark sky camouflaging them as they headed towards the west side of town. The two changelings that stayed took the form of two pegasus'. One of them slowly bit the cables on the back of the vendor until they heard it power down. As soon as that happened they heard screams and free Ice cream. The changelings in disguise saw a huge crowd of ponies rush over to where they were and get in line for Ice cream.

"That worked perfectly." The changeling said to the other. They heard clicks coming from the west side of town.

"We've seemed to create a distraction that lured most of the ponies into one spot."

"This will be easier than I thought." The changeling general eyed them from the skies.

And with that he sent out a red light blocking all magic from the ponies just in case. He knew some of them would try to use it to teleport away or try to use magical bolts to overpower his squad. He signaled the changelings to dive bomb on his mark.

"Mark!"

"So what were you going to say to me Sunny?" Twilight asked.

"Well, I guess its a good a time as any." I said to my self. "Twilight... I was going to ask you... if you..."

At that moment I heard screams and turned around to see ponies lifted up off the ground and getting taken into the night sky.

"Wha... Whats going on?" Twilight asked.

"I don't..." I was cut off again by a changeling that grabbed me by the neck.

We were both in the air wrestling for control of gravity. I managed to Head but it in the face and knock it out. We were both spinning like a hoof ball towards the ground. We crashed just next to the library. I turned around and saw Twilight get lifted off the ground by a strange looking changeling. I got up and ran towards her and grabbed the changeling by the legs.

"Twilight use your magic!" I yelled

"I can't."

"Why not."

Before she could reply I lost my grip and fell on a park bench and shattered it. I was in pain, I couldn't use magic, and the love of my life was getting carried with the rest of the town to their assumed death. I got up and limped my way to the library. I needed to check on spike. As I opened the door I saw spike charge at me with a sharp gem tied to a stick.

"Heeeeahhhhh!" Spike yelled.

"Woah!" I said as I dogged the attack. "What are you doing?"

"Oh Sunny, I thought you were one of them." He apologized.

"Do I look like one of them?" I asked

"Well.... I don't know? They can change forms."

"If I was, You wouldn't be here right now."

"I guess your right." Spike sighed

"We need to look for survivors, Lets go." I said to Spike as we walked out the door.

We walked to city hall, or what was left of it. We found Rarity and a few other ponies cowering under tables. I walked over to the tables and looked under them.

"Its OK, the coast is clear!" I said aloud.

"Are... are you sure?" Rarity stuttered as she and two other ponies climbed out from under the tables.

"I'm Pretty sure." I answered.

"Where is the rest of the town?" She asked.

"I don't know but I have a way of finding out. Lets go back to the library everypony." I said.

As we walked down the street we saw the town with benches and light posts toppled over and destroyed. The Ice cream Vendor was still there but the seller wasn't. I didn't care bout the town right now, all I wanted were some answers. I walked over to the changeling that I knocked out and shook him until he woke up.

"What... where am I."  It said in a high pitched voice.

"That doesn't matter now. Where did they take the ponies?" I scolded.

"I'll never tell you!"

It slipped away from my grip and tried to pin me down. Rarity was screaming in the back. That wasn't helping. I managed to counter the attack and pin him to the ground. I smashed its face onto the hard ground.

"How about now?" I yelled

"OK OK, I'll talk!"

"You'd better! Now where are they." I screamed.

"They are being taken to a changeling hive underground past the everfree! I'll mark it on a map for you." He pleaded

I turned to spike. "Spike, Go get me a map."

"On it." He said as he fled into the library.

"You'd better not be lying to me!" I yelled to the changeling on the ground.

"I swear on Chrysalis." He said.

Spike came running out with a map. "I got it."

I took the map from his grip and set it down near the changeling. He marked a spot near the forest with an X. After that, I picked him up and slammed his face into the ground, knocking it out again.

"Thanks." I spat out as I turned to Rarity.

"How did you learn to do that?" She asked

"I used to be a traveler. I need to protect my self from bandits and wild animals. Now, I think I need to go alone on this rescue mission."

"Let me come with you." Spike said.

"No, too dangerous. I need you and Rarity here to search for more survivors. I need to find Twilight alone."

"What about the other ponies." Spike chirped up.

"Oh yeah, them too."

"Wait, why Twilight?" Rarity asked. Oh.. no! "Do you like her?"

"Um.. well..."

"You've been here for a month and never told her. She's not going to be single forever darling."

"I'll be single forever if I don't get to her in time. Now start looking for survivors." I replied

"Ok, fine but when you get back, I'm planing the Wedding." She said as she walked away.

"Ugh... fine. Go help her out spike."

"I'm on it., and there's supplies in the library if you need anything. Oh and about Twilight..."

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Go Get her Buddy." He said as he sprinted off towards Rarity.

I turned and looked down at the map, where the changeling had marked the X. It was already Midnight and Luna's Moon shown down all across the Horizon. I looked towards the library. I will have to gather supplies and rest in the forest. I hope there's nothing to scary in there.

"Don't Worry Twilight. I'm coming!"
