Flash: And where they're changelings...

Shining Armor: Chrysalis is nearby.

Shadow: Who is Chrysalis?

Shining Armor: The queen of the changelings. She and her minions feed off the love of others. She even took control of my mind and turned me against my wife and Twilight.

Shadow: I'd hate to meet her.

Shining: Trust me you would.

Sombra: Changelings, kill them. I have princesses to find.

-Sombra disappeared into the dark mist and the changelings closed in on Shadow and the others. They took on their forms hoping to confuse them.

Shining: What did he say?

Cheese: He's going after the princesses.

Shadow: Oh no Twilight.

Shining: And Cadence too.

Flash: We have to get to them!

Soarin: Alright so what's the plan?

Shadow: Beat down changelings, find the girls, and try not to die while doing it.

Soarin: I somewhat like that plan.

Big Mac: These critters don't know who they're bucking with.

Shining: Let's make this quick guys. The more time we waste here, puts Cadence and my sister in danger.

Flash: Yes Sir!

Shadow: ATTACK!
