André: Think we might pass Fillydelphia soon?

Babe: We're travelling on foot I highly doubt it. Besides they kicked us out of the Ponyville in the other direction so we're moving further away from civilization.

André: Oh. That was kinda cold. Is it just me or is the mood around here getting grimmer and darker? It's more depressing than Everfree forest in the middle of the night.

Babe: Meh. Whoa…

Babe and André looked ahead and saw what could've been the largest tower in all of Equestria. The tower looked as if it was touching the clouds.

André: That tower is huge.

Babe: Wanna go in there?

André: Not really. There's something very off about it.

Female voice: Our home.

A voice came from behind the two boys. Upon hearing the voice they quickly turned around. Standing before them was a rather tall black unicorn like creature. Her eyes were dark green, her mane was dark cerulean and she had impressive white fangs.

Babe: Wait. I know you.

André: Queen Chrysalis!

Queen Chrysalis: It appears that I'm very well known, yes, I am Queen Chrysalis and you two must be André and Babe.

André: How do you know our names?

Babe: Dumb question, she's the villain here apparently. She was probably shadowing us using her magic.

André: Right! I knew that. She's also queen of the changeling's.

Babe: It all makes sense. You got two of your minions to shape shift into us and while we were gone and when we came back to Ponyville you set it up to make it seem like we were the bad guys.

Queen Chrysalis: Correct.

Babe: Pfft. Villains, I guess after this it'll only be one less to deal with. Well whatever, I'm sure you know why we're here, so let's not pretend that we're interested in each other.

Queen Chrysalis: You think it'll be that easy?

Babe: You turned our friends against us. I'll make this easy.

Babe took one step toward the dark queen but that one step was his last. Chrysalis used her magic and stopped Babe from moving.

Babe: DRGH!

André: Babe?

Queen Chrysalis: Hahaha! I should thank you both. You really have made this too easy for me and my precious subjects.

André: What do you mean?

Queen Chrysalis: You two and your bond with Twilight Sparkle and her friends. It was something I've never felt before. The love they gained for you two was one of the most powerful things in Equestria. I think it even surpassed the level of love we encountered at the Canterlot wedding not too long ago. Ever since our defeat we've been planning revenge.

Babe (struggling): What…Else…is new!?

Queen Chrysalis: Hahahaha, well, we've been feeding off of the bonds between you have for your precious little pony friends.

André: Wait, but, changelings feed off of true love and not the power of friendship. What do you mean we helped you?

Queen Chrysalis: About that, true love gives us MORE power. Like Windigos we are emotion "parasites" although we feed off of positive emotion. For example….ever since our defeat in Canterlot a year ago we've been feeding on Princess Celestia and Luna's love for ALL the ponies of Equestria.

Babe: …Ok, that's a lot of power…uh!

Queen Chryalis: Of course it is. With it we've become stronger. Strong enough to bypass ANY barrier they set up. We're more powerful than we ever were! And after all you've done for all your friends they simply casted you aside as traitors, I know that makes you want revenge. Join us. we can make them pay for what they did to you.

Babe: You've gotta be kidding…!

Queen Chryalis: What?

Babe: Give us a break! We'd never help you with anything…in fact we're going to stop you! If you're going to mess with our friends then you're messing with the wrong group.

Queen Chryalis: You've come this far and you still understand nothing it seems…no matter, tomorrow Ponyville will suffer a Changeling invasion and then Canterlot, then all of Equestria.

Babe: We're not letting…that…uh! Happen!

Queen Chryalis: Oh really?

The dark queen unleashes a powerful magic spell that sent a powerful invisible force that blew Babe and André back. The two are sent flying back where they crashed into a dead tree with great force.

André: AHH!

Babe: UGGH!

Queen Chrysalis: You both are still giving me so much power. It's incredible!

André: Uh…y-you…dirty…uh…

The two lost consciousness. Queen Chryalis stood over the two and smiled in amusement as her servants approach. The view fades to black.

Babe (awakening): …Mm. Ugh, my head.

After regaining consciousness Babe turned to his left and saw André lying on the ground. He looked forward and saw Chrysalis standing before them.

Babe: What's…going on?

Queen Chrysalis: Finally up? It's been hours since you fell out.

Babe (looking around): Where are we?

Queen Chrysalis: In a prison cell. I think I'll keep you both locked up here as a power source. Your love for those ponies is truly amazing.

Babe: I should've seen all this coming…

Queen Chrysalis: Make yourselves comfortable. You'll be here for a while, well, eternity. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to rest up. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow. It's going to be one wild reunion once you two go back home.

Babe: What do you mean?

Queen Chrysalis: Wait until your precious little friends discover that their human friends have joined forces with the "dreadful" changelings.

Babe: If we don't stop you then Twilight and the others will. They have something that can take you all out in seconds.

Queen Chrysalis: This "something" wouldn't happen to be the elements of harmony would it? We've managed to steal them right from under their noses.

Babe: …How?

Queen Chrysalis: Hahahaha! You fool. Did you really think I wouldn't have thought this plan out?

Babe: Truthfully I couldn't care less. You're going down, somehow. You have a weakness, everything does.

Queen Chrysalis: And so does the heart of those you love so much. I'll expose that weakness.

Babe: Twilight and the others all have the strength to put you and all your changelings away for good….and once we get out of here you're going to wish you were a good parasite. Their power is greater than yours.

Queen Chrysalis: Heh! For a little fly you tell big lies.

The dark queen turned away and walked away from the cell André and Babe shared. She and all of her followers needed to be well rested for the big invasion tomorrow. Babe put his back against the wall and slowly slid down onto the floor.

Babe: How are we going to get out of here?

André [voice]: Not sure but I know we've got to try and think of something.

Babe: You're awake?

André: I've been up since I first heard you two talking. You told her Twilight had power greater than hers, what did you mean?

Babe: I was only saying those things to get her to feel threatened.

André: Wow.

Babe: Yeah…

Apple Bloom: Well, Ah think you two have made excellent progress today, but now ah think it's time we escaped.

Babe: Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle? Why're you here?

Scootaloo: Keep your voice down. We followed you guys even after you told us to leave.

Scootaloo had the large circular cell keys around her neck. She took the keys from around her neck and playfully swung them around her hoof. The CMC's began to stack themselves up to reach the keyhole. After a few twists and turns they unlocked the prison cell.

André: How did you guys get pass all the guards?

Sweetie Belle: They're all asleep.

André: How convenient for our escape.

Babe: You guys came here anyway…you went against Princess Celestia and Luna's orders.

Sweetie Belle: Sort of but we weren't going to leave you two either.

Scootaloo: Even if it was just a short time, you've become our best friends.

André and Babe got up and walked out of their cell.

Apple Bloom: We're friends, till the end. Now, let's get moving back to Ponyville and tell everypony what that mean ol queen is planning!

Babe and André smiled at the young fillies who managed to save them. With their freedom they proceeded to quietly escape changeling tower. Lucky for them the prison area wasn't any higher up in the tower. They left out and started heading down the road that lead back to Ponyville.
