The Conversion Bureau: Hive

“So,” asked the light pink unicorn with an equally pink mane, “Are you ready to join the hive?”
“I think you mean herd or something? but I guess thats why I’m sitting here. On this table... cold,” the man said as he sat naked on a stainless steel table. He was a large burly man who looked like he could split a tree in half with one swing of an axe. His hair was a light brown color that nearly matched his hazel eyes.
“Sorry, herd I mean... anyhow,” said the pony doctor as she levitated a cup of very dark purple potion towards the man. The potion was held in a glass cup that was almost see through, but the potion itself was almost black in color.
“I thought it was a light purple?” asked the man and he took hold of the cup.
“It’s a different formula... but drink every single drop otherwise the conversion process won’t work,” she said giving off a large, uneasy smile that put the man slightly off with its size.
“Okay...” he said as he looked down at the dark purple contents of the glass cup, “Well here goes nothing.”
He took a big breath only to let it out as the glass cup hit his lips, the dark purple ooze then slowly slid into his mouth only to be swallowed by the man. He began to cough and gag from the potion he had just drunk.
“Guah! This tastes like terrible licorice,” he said before he passed out from the strong sedatives that were inside the potion.
“Yes,” said the pink pony as it’s skin slowly burned away in a green flame. It’s pink fur covered hooves went to an onyx shell with holes in them. Her coat changed from pink to black with a green carapace forming on its back as well as two green bug like wings, her mane was also no longer a off pink color that seemed to straight in appearance but several long green spines down it’s head and neck. As well as two razor sharp fang in its mouth, but atop its head was a long curved black horn that was sharpened almost to a point. Her tail, if you could call it a tail, was a short scruffy looking black tail.
“Yes welcome to the hive little one,” said the now black monster that stood over the rapidly changing human.
“Yes, he shall make a fine drone,” echoed the words of the Queen inside the creatures head.
“But your majesty,” said the creature as it stood over the somewhat cocooned man, “Wouldn’t he be better as a soldier? He does seem to be more desensitized to violence and he does have a very muscular physique.”
“Hrmmm, I suppose he would make a nice soldier... make it so,” said the voice once more before it vanished without a trace.
“Yes your highness,” it said almost bowing to an invisible figure in front of it.
The creature strode over to the now cocooned human. It examined the green cocoon that was slowly shrinking making the human inside curl up into the fetal position. But it wasn’t human for much longer as his body slowly began to shift and move to form almost an equine form. Everything was there, hooves, muzzle, tail, long neck and even the torso were all there fully formed. Then it just stopped, almost waiting for something or someone to tell it what to be.
The creature that stood over the cocoon took a big breath in and pointed its curved horn towards it. It then shot out a beam of green magic that quickly engulfed the cocoon before it quickly dissipated, it was almost as if the cocoon absorbed it. Then the beam of light stopped and the creature then exhaled a sigh of relief before the horse inside the cocoon jumped.
Well it wasn’t a jump, but more so a thrashing motion as it rapidly began growing chitinous scales instead of fur on it’s skin. Just like the creature outside it grew long insectoid wings that sprung from it’s back as if they were always there. A lump of flesh then began to form on it’s forehead and slowly bubbled before erupting causing a long curved horn replaced the lump. Its skin no longer was there but instead a hard carapace on its back and small hard black scales covered the rest of the body.
Fangs began to emerge from its upper and lower jaw that extended beyond the muzzle of the creature. Its tail slowly began to grow long black hair, but it stopped quickly and ended in a somewhat jagged formation. Then slowly long spines began to push out from its neck then rapidly changed to a dark greenish color.
"Yes," she said as the creature in the cocoon slowly but surely it finished its thrashing and the cocoon around it began to lose its greenish color. She moved over to it and almost began to stroke it before she talked once more, "Yes, you shall be another fine soldier for us. Then nothing, not even these humans can stand in our way while we suck Earth and Equestria dry of its love."
The cocoon almost responded to her voice, cracks began to form as the creature inside began to hatch from its egg.
The first thing to break through the now papery cocoon was a black forehoof filed with several holes that went straight through. The next was its head which was covered with large plates of thick scaly armour that almost covered it’s azure eyes. The rest of the body was able to wriggle its way out of the cocoon to show a body similar to the firsts but the only difference being was its size.
“What-. What am I?” questioned the insect like creature on the table.
“You are a soldier,” the other one replied buzzing over to the table.
“I... I know that... but what am I?” It questioned one last time before it began to move into a seating position.
“You. You are another soldier for the Great Changeling hive of Queen Chrysalis. You are sworn to protect it with your life while the rest of the hive gathers love... but to me, you are my personal guard,” said the now feminine sounding Changeling.
“What do I call you my lady?” The changeling asked as it seemed to become more and more loyal to it’s creator.
“Call me-,” it began before turning into the pink unicorn again in a column of green flames, “Sweet Treat.”
