The Changeling Defense

Previous Chapter

Flame Storm looked on into the distance as he saw the barren wasteland he knew as Equestria. Over the years, Equestria had slowly become a war zone. When the changelings took over, they split the land into three territories.

There was The Changeling Hive, which was the major city of the land. They used the ponies as slaves and there was the castle.

Then there was the Equestrian Warzone and that was the area outside The Changeling Hive. It was like a coliseum; they would place two ponies into the coliseum and then make them fight to the death. If they refused, they would both die.

Then there was his hometown of the Outer-Lands. It was the most populated area in the entire country; it was mostly made up of ponies but was in complete control by the changelings.

There was a reason that these two stallions were the only males alive. They were both chosen 100 years ago for an experiment. They were once normal colts living horribly in Outer-Lands until two secret pony operatives took them. The reason they took them was because the changelings declared that they would kill the stallions to stop reproducing. The operatives knocked out the two colts and placed them in their lab. They placed a small insect called a Wormtail Maximus. Its abilities are a mystery to this day. The Wormtail Maximus fed on spiritual energy, but in turn gave them a mass amount of magic. The operatives then placed them in a time capsule set for 100 years.

And that is how they came to the future. Flame Storm and Starbringer walked down the dead fields and walked toward The Changeling Hive. Flame Storm and Starbringer knew that this was going to be extremely hard because prior to them coming back into Equestria, the changelings signed treaties with the griffons, the zebras, the dragons, and the creatures of the Everfree Forest. The mules were used a slaves just like the ponies.

Flame Storm looked on as he saw a small group of changelings approached them. There was the same changeling from earlier and some of his friends.

"Hey red stallion, I didn't bother telling the king of some puny little brats. Instead, I am going to deal with you myself. I decided to bring my friends along to help, just in case you try to use some of your cheap tricks." The changeling said with a hackle.

Flame Storm looked on a bit mad that the changeling would think he would use petty tricks to defeat a puny changeling like himself. He turned to Starbringer and nodded. They both looked on at the changelings as a red aura traveled throughout Flame Storm's body, while a blue aura went around Starbringer's. The changelings charged at them.

The magic around their bodies grew as the changelings were keeping themselves up, but it was hard due to the fact that their magic was so heavy.

Flame Storm smiled as he dashed right next to one of the changelings, which caused it to look at him with wide-eyes. The changeling thought 'How can this be his speed!?' Flame Storm then grabbed the changelings hoof and swung it through the air; he then threw it hard onto the ground. It caused a giant crater.

Starbringer smiled as he threw a magic blast at a changeling, the changeling dashed to the side to avoid it, but then it looked behind to see where it went. The magic blast curved as it went back toward the changeling at a fast speed, it tried to evade it again, but the magic blast curved and hit it in the chest. The blast turned into ice as the changeling was covered in it. Starbringer then punched it as the changeling was destroyed completely.

Flame Storm smiled as he teleported next to another changeling as he threw a fire beam at it, it was able to dash to the left, but Flame teleported next to it and gathered up magic into his right hoof and hit the changeling on the top of his head. When the changeling was on the ground, Flame stopped his right hoof right on the top of its head, the changeling's head shattered.

Starbringer and Flame Storm looked at each other with smiles and then looked back over to the changelings. There were only four changelings left, and they were losing their edge. Starbringer nodded as Flame Storm backed off. Starbringer smiled as he charged up blue magic into both of his hooves and then brought them together. He then threw his hooves forward as a large blue beam came out of his hooves, the blast then hit the four changelings head on as they all exploded in the explosion that the blast exploded.

Flame Storm looked forward and saw that one of the changelings grew a suit of armor and he grew about 3 feet larger than he already was. That changeling was a commander and they were all given the ability to turn into their commander form. Starbringer looked up at it with squinted eyes and then smiled.

Starbringer and Flame Storm smiled as they ran forward the giant commander changeling, the changeling then swung its giant hoof at them as they jumped on top of its hoof. They ran up his hoof and kicked him in the face. Starbringer and Flame Storm got their momentum back and charged magic up in their hoofs.

Starbringer and Flame Storm swung their hoofs that were full of their magic.

Their hoofs made contact on its head as the changeling's head exploded into many pieces.

Starbringer and Flame Storm jumped off of the changeling and began to walk off.

The changeling got up and grew back its head. It then went to charge at them but then it began to hear beeps in its head.

The changeling looked and banged his head, the noise wouldn't go away. It then heard the beeping go faster and faster, it knew exactly what it was, it was a bomb in its head.

Starbringer and Flame Storm didn't look back as the changeling's head exploded into many pieces, leaving behind a trail of blood and brain bit. They kept walking forward and then looked at each other.

"Let's go free our kind." They said to each other as they walked towards the city.
