For a year the kingdom has known peace. Fluffle Puff, known as "The Puff" by his subjects, was living peacefully with his wife, Princess Luna and his six concubines. But that peace was at an end. Behind the scenes another dark power had been plotting and waiting. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Equestria had been ravaged by war and it was seemingly defenseless. It was time for the changelings to strike once more. Like the darkness of night itself they washed over the land. Unable to fight back the kingdom fell in just a few short days. There was nothing they could do to stop the tide of destruction they brought. Eventually the queens eyes fell on the capital, Canterlot. The defenses of the city itself were laughable at best. The guard was in complete disarray and their numbers too few to put up a challenge. With little effort her army descended upon what little defenses there were.
It was not long before Queen Chrysalis herself chose to storm the castle with a small compliment of soldiers. She was surprised that there were no guards. The ponies had seemingly given up. A wise decision, she thought. The changeling queen entered the throne room to an unexpected sight. On the throne was a very pink and very fluffy pony simply wearing a pair of sunglasses surrounded by seven familiar ponies. Without hesitation her soldiers quickly rounded up the ponies surrounding this mass of pink fluff. Clearly sensing her victory so near, Chrysalis strut confidently towards the center of the room.
"So [i[this is the last defense of Equestria?" she said mockingly. "The bearers of the elements, ill equipped to use its power, a socially awkward princess and a giant ball of fur wearing sunglasses...indoors no less." Brushing her mane back she chuckled. "I'd state my disappointment for this whole ordeal being so simple, but after last time this victory is as welcome as it is satisfying. I-" From the corner of her eye she noticed the other ponies cowering in fear, not of her. Their eyes were all upon the fluffy pony that had remained motionless the entire time. As though they were expecting something from it. She turned her attention to this pony. "Well now, it would seem your subjects are awaiting you to do something." She thought this creature was something of a joke. Deciding to play along with their little game she started to walk towards it.
"D-don't do it!" The lavender mare, Twilight Sparkle as she recalled, had shouted out suddenly. "Please don't go near him!"
The changeling rolled her eyes at her plea. "Don't worry. I won't hurt him...much." She grinned deviously.
Twilight shook her head. "Oh, I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about what he'll do to you."
Chrysalis turned to her with a confused expression. "Come again?"
"The last time took us hours to clean up. It was so bloody..."
The queen, now utterly perplexed by what this unicorn was saying just passed it off as a mere distraction. As she reached the throne the pony remained motionless. Inspecting him, she began to wonder if the thing was even alive. She raised a hoof and poked its fluffy body. Slight whimpers of fear came from the captured ponies behind her. He remained silent. "Why don't you say something?" Chrysalis poked him again. He yet remained silent. The queen sighed. "I tire of this joke. Get off of my throne." Moving to the side she attempted to push the mass off. As she pushed she felt her hooves slip on his soft exterior. Her face landed right into his side. Completely caught off guard, Chrysalis felt in complete bliss as she made contact with this pony's fur. She backed away for a moment with an expression of shock. Never before had she felt something so amazing. Cautiously she petted The Puff's fur. "It's so...so..." Without warning she jumped up and held him in a full embrace. "IT'S SO FLUFFY!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
The soldiers that had accompanied her looked at each other in complete confusion. Now seeing their ruler simply cuddling this mass of fur, they had no idea what to do next. One of them spoke up. "Um...my queen?" Chrysalis payed no heed to the changelings words. Her mind was blank of all but the softness she felt. It was so warm, so soft, so perfect. She would ignore the world just to live in this ball of fluff. Even the captured ponies were at a loss in this situation. "My queen are you well?" She ignored his words once again. He jumped to attention as a sudden realization came to him. "Our queen must be until that pony's control. It's using some sort of vile magic on our beloved!" The six other changelings all seemed to agree. "We must act now to free her. Charge!" Taking no heed of their prisoners the seven soldiers took flight and zipped towards the throne. They fly with expert co-ordination towards him, these were the best the queen had to offer. Their eyes turned to horror as they felt their lives slip away. As they were mere inches from The Puff their bodies spontaneously combust, turning to ash instantly. All that was heard was the slightest yelp from them before silence. Without a word The Puff stepped down from the throne and towards the balcony overlooking the city. The queen of the changelings held on to him like a small child caring nothing of the subjects that were just vaporized.
All over the city changelings could be seen chasing ponies down and capturing them. They were being collected like livestock to feed on later. The Puff, looking over the city, remained expressionless as he witnessed this. Suddenly the sky began to darken as the clouds above the city swirled. Balls of fire began to rain down on the city, setting fire to homes and decimating the changeling army. As the city began to burn he looked on. The light of the flames reflecting in his sunglasses as screams of pain were barely heard over the roaring flames. The queen simply continued hugging him tightly. Her kind was meaningless to her at this point. All she cared about was this fluffiness.
Just as quickly as this horror began it suddenly ended. Every flame disappeared without warning. The Puff walked back to his throne and sat down. The changeling army was no more, Canterlot and most of Equestria was in ruins and The Puff sat on his throne, victorious once again.
"He did it!" Twilight shouted out. :He saved Equestria once again!" Running to embrace the fluffy pony, Chrysalis hissed at her.
"He's mine! I'm calling dibs now. Keep your purple hooves away from my fluff!"
And so the king of Equestria did save his kingdom once again. The Puff took Chrysalis as his second wife. Apparently he's into polygamy, who knew? For years the Kingdom would know a peace unlike any other. The ponies of Equestria had even begun to worship their king as a god, revering his great power and ability to protect their land from the evils of the world. He had three more children with both Luna and Chrysalis. Though it seemed like peace would last forever, there was one last trial this world would face. The one who would challenge The Puff...
~The End
