Back in the throne room had the drone who had to inspect on Sweetie returned with good news which he buzzed to Rarity as he bowed. "Good. Now leave me alone, but stand ready. I hear our guests coming," she said and every other changelings flew up to the dark ceiling in silence. There they would simply be hiding in plain sight.

"It must be here somewhere... Wait, look, there it is!" Rainbow said as came in flying through the open doors and landed in the middle of the room. The rest entered as well and saw a near bored to death Rarity in the throne, smirking clearly.

"Well, well, well, look who have come to stop me... My old, friends." the queen of Equestria spoke while the smirk turned into an evil smile, "I would love to see you try."

"Rarity! This is not like you! What has happened to you?" asked Twilight clueless as she stood ready to charge.

"What happened to me? Well, I just was bored of my old life and I had to, spread out my wings, so to say. And rose to my true potential!" answered Rarity as she jumped off her throne and walked down the steps to ground level.

"But that still doesn't explain the changelings! Where is Chrysalis?" Twilight asked as she carefully looked around the room.

Rarity chuckled and replied with a sick joy in her voice. "Chrysalis was blinded by love... I am the queen of the changelings, I am the queen of Equestria itself."

"Ya're blinded girl, blinded by your own desires!" yelled Applejack to her.

"Hmhmhm, Applejack, I am not blinded. I am seeing it very clearly. Something you all should do as well," said Rarity as she walked back to her throne. "I rule this land, and I rule it to my hoof. I can let you all killed by an instant."

"Rarity, you have lost your mind! They say I am the insane one, but it was you who was that all along!" said Pinkie who jumped forward and growled towards Rarity.

The unicorn simply rose an eyebrow to this as she spoke in a regal voice. "Hold Pinkie." And much to everyponies surprise, the pink mare obeyed her and sat down in her behind, blinking to the white mare who fixed her crown a little. "Down." And Pinkie just lied down on her hooves on the floor. "Good girl."

The others looked at each other and were surprised by this. Applejack scratched herself behind her head as both Rainbow and Fluttershy their mouths fell open and Twilight only blinked before saying,."What..? How..?"

"Simple actually, I'm her queen as well. I can make you all do the same if I want, but Pinkie here... Is one of my children. Reveal yourself."

Pinkie nodded and erupted in a burst of green fire, only to reveal it was a Changeling. "Where is the real Pinkie then!?" asked Rainbow in anger.

"Don't you worry and look behind you!" replied Rarity in the same tone.

Everypony looked behind them to see the real Pinkie Pie in the door opening looking at them before blinking gently. "You could have told me you went here, I lost you all by the entrance. Remember when I went a little off to explore?" the pink mare said with a smile on her face.

"Just come here Pinkie." Twilight snarled and she happily bounced over to them and they all turned back to Rarity.

"You were... You were the most, generous pony, we have ever met, and look at you now... A big, meany," said Fluttershy as she turned her attention to the unicorn with teary eyes.

"Oh, I still am generous darling, but they don't leave me a choice. But I shall give you an option. Either join me, or face a inescapable fate. Make your choice," said Rarity and soon after that did the changelings slowly crawl down from the ceiling as they were creeping up to the five ponies.

But before the assault could begin walked one of the drones up to Rarity and buzzed something in her ear, what resulted in her beginning to smirk. "Hold!" she said and every Changeling stood their ground. "There is somepony I want to introduce you all too. Bring her forward."

A changeling went into a side room and brought back a filly like figure. The figure was placed before Rarity and it slowly uncurled itself, revealing a school-aged filly with a white exoskeleton and very light green and blue accompanied by a darker green coloring in her mane and tail. Its eyes opened in order to reveal the green/blue colored irises.

"My little princess. How was your slumber?" asked Rarity kindly to the figure.

"I had a very good slumber, sister." said the figure in an all too familiar voice crack.

"Sweetie Belle!?" yelled all of the mares in choir.

"Rarity! How could you that to your own sister!?" yelled Twilight while preparing herself to just charge the madmare.

"Simple... The way I was made. Sweetie, please move out of the way." Rarity politely asked and her sister did a couple steps aside, walking up the throne and sitting there, waiting what would happen. The unicorn simply erupted out in green flames, revealing her changeling form, her true form. Everypony gasped at the sight.

"You are a changeling, Rarity!" was all Rainbow could bring out as she was hit by the shock of the situation.

"No... Not you... You above all..." Fluttershy brought forth as she curled up into a ball, Pinkie tried to comfort her, but it wasn't doing a good job.

"Would you tell us what happened?" asked Twilight in a curious manner, but pointed her horn towards the, in her eyes, creature.

"Simple Twilight, Chrysalis made me this way. And I made Sweetie this way...and I am only half changeling," explained Rarity calmly, not even fearing the other unicorn her power.

"Half? What has happened to the Princesses anyway?" asked Rainbow.

This question made Rarity angry and she spoke her words enraged. "Those two were never worthy of ruling this land! I wanted to make them feel the pain. But Chrysalis destroyed that plan with her toxin. Yes, they are dead. And with their death, the sun and the moon move on their own now!"

After hearing that, Twilight collapsed on her hooves and started to burst out in tears. "Why Rarity... Why did you had to kill them? They were always sweet to us... And now...they are gone!" Rarity just stood there, glaring stone cold as the others tried to comfort Twilight.

"How could ya Rarity. Ya know how much they mean for us, for all of us," said Applejack.

"They did not die by my hooves, they died by Chrysalis her hooves. Which got a payment as well I assure you that," said Rarity stone and stone cold. "But the five of you, still haven't made up your mind about my choice, either join me, or die yourself."

Everypony looked up to the mare and gazed her in the eyes. In her eyes, she was gone, the Rarity they knew and loved, was dead and replaced by this monster. "Ah would rather die then joining ya!" said Applejack who stood up and stand tall against Rarity.

"So, cowgirl, you are going to put up a fight? I give you ten seconds to re-think your option otherwise I let them charge," said Rarity who slowly started to count the seconds away.

Applejack was confident as a rock, she would stick to her choice, not even caring about her pointless counting.

"Zero... Then so be it! Charge her!" yelled Rarity to the changelings above her, who all came rushing down and began to attack the cowgirl.

After a lot of resistance from Applejack which resulted in a couple exoskeletons being broken, the changelings finally got a hold of her and dragged her off to a unknown place. "Ya will pay Rarity! Ya'll pay for this!" And those were the last words to be heard before she was completely gone.

"What... What are you doing to do, with her?" asked Twilight who slowly got up again but was trembling on her legs.

The white maned changeling plopped back on her throne with a grin before she made her reply to it. "The same plan I had for the two princesses, letting her rot to the end of time. A plan I have for the leftovers as well. I ask you all again, do you join me?"

"After what you did to Applejack so easily? Not in my life!" said Rainbow angry.

"I am with Rainbow!" said Pinkie as she jumped next to the pegasus.

"M-Me t-too." Fluttershy replied in a scared tone.

"Rarity, the day I join you, is the day I am dead!" Twilight added as she charged up her horn and blasted a beam to Rarity, who avoided it and jumped down the throne.

She looked back and noticed the sparks walking away from the point of impact before turning her attention back to the mares. She removed her crown and cape from her body before they were tossed aside. "Grab those three, I will handle her myself." Rarity yelled to the changelings.

And in the blink of an eye had they taken a hold on Pinkie, Rainbow and Fluttershy with ease. Though it were Rainbow and Pinkie who offered the most resistance for them, whereas Fluttershy just let her being dragged away. But eventually, even the other two mares were overmastered and just dragged away down the hallway where Applejack had disappeared in.

The changeling Sweetie Belle was still sitting on the throne and admiring the scenes before her. She wasn't even making any plans to meddle herself into them, for it was a fight between her sister and Twilight. All the changelings made way for Twilight and Rarity, or even removed themselves completely out of the throne room.

"You have gone too far by doing this, Rarity," said Twilight as both mares started to walk in circles around each other.

"Too far? No, I have just begun..!" replied Rarity as she charged up her horn and sent a beam to Twilight who avoided it.

"And what will you do, make this land crumble?" said Twilight charging up her own horn.

"No. I shall not make it crumble, I shall rule it as it always should have been ruled! With an iron hoof!" Rarity spoke while keeping a watchful eye on the charging horn.

"You are one of the elements of harmony! How can you even consider such an act like this?" Twilight questioned as she released the stored energy from her horn.

Rarity simply blocked the incoming spell with a shield that was created by her own. One that appeared to be holding the sheer power rather well. "Harmony has died a long time ago in this land. You should have seen the signs."

"What... What do you mean?" asked Twilight scared.

"Did you never notice it? Our land was crumbling in the hooves for those two!" answered Rarity in pure hate.

"No, no, lies! You are telling lies!" said Twilight while shaking her head and released another blast.

"I am not the one telling lies here!" said Rarity while beginning to charge her own horn again, eventually releasing it.

The two beams met each other in the middle and for a long time it was a struggle between them. "Give it up Twilight, you have lost and I win," said Rarity as her beam got more powerful. Twilight closed her eyes and gave every last bit of magic she got.

The white maned changeling had enough of this game, but also knew she wouldn't win it from the element of magic in the long run and therefore dropped her beam. Taken by a surprise that her beam met no resistance, Twilight started to blink a couple times. And than Rarity swiftly ran over to Twilight and tackled her to the ground. "I have waited long, just so very long for this moment!" the grayish white maned changeling hissed as she charged up her horn once again.

Twilight tried to find a way out but didn't found one. The only thing she could do, was hoping for the best. Rarity began to laugh at Twilight. But during her laughter, she got hit by something of considerable size. What resulted in her being knocked off of Twilight, who quickly came back on her hooves.

Rarity was sent into the wall as her gray rims inspected what had attacked her. Only to look like she had seen a ghost from the past. She was pinned to the wall by a cyan coated, rainbow maned pegasus.

"Dashie... How did you escape?" she said calmly asked.

"Simple, a lot of force," replied Rainbow as she kept the hoof on her throat. "Don't even think about it." And not much later, Pinkie, Fluttershy and a very angry Applejack came back into the throne room as well. As Rarity fell in the eyes of the cowgirl, she took a stance of attack as clouds of steam left her nose with every exhale.

Rainbow released her from her hold and she flew back to her friends in order to help them as the white maned changeling, crawled out of the wall and made her way over to the middle of the room and yelled as loud as possible. "I am the master of this land, and none of you shall make a difference in that! I swear that in my name. Drones! Charge them and feast on their meat and bones!"

Every single drone in the room started to buzz violently as Rarity made her way back to the throne and plopped down on it before placing Sweetie next to her. "Charge them!" she yelled and all the changelings started to attack the five of them.

The five of them tried to keep the never ending wave of Changeling off, using their forelegs, hind legs, horns or just complete randomness to fight each of the changing bugs.

"Try to keep them off!" yelled Applejack who was violently kicking all around her.

"Rainbow, Applejack, keep kicking them!" said Twilight as she blasted her magic to each of them. Pinkie tried to fight back but her fighting skills aren't as good and she didn't had her party cannon to use. Fluttershy just curled up in the middle of all of it and just gave it up.

But no matter how fierce they fought, no matter how hard they tried, it was a losing battle. Fluttershy gave the right example to just give up. As the minutes passed by, the all began to become nearly exhaust. Having wasted all of their strength against an enemy that is undefeatable in numbers.

In the end, they just allowed themselves to get caught, and were brought before the madmare. "All five of you, I give the option, one, last, time. Join me, become a minister of this land. Or die in a jail. You better think this through and through, it are your only options." Rarity simplysaid. Sweetie giggled at the five of them, while the mare smiled to her sister.

The five friends their eyes fell upon each other, and just by the looks they all knew it, they would all choose the same fate. As five sighs fell through the room, Twilight eventually did the final words. "We all choose to rather rot in a jail then to join you." Those were the words, that sealed their fates.

Rarity nodded and spoke with a regal voice. "Then the five of you shall be sentenced with a lifetime of punishment by sitting in a cell until the day you pass away. Bring them to the dungeons and let them rot." The drones nodded and the mares were brought to the deepest dungeon, only to be locked up, to rot away for eternity, to be left behind, to go crazy over time by their own madness. Mad enough to join the unicorn in her deluded world of domination.

Back in the throne room Rarity sat on her throne, smiling as she changed back to her pony form. The land was hers and she ruled over it with an iron hoof. She loved it more than anything she had ever done. Everything she had done over the course of time and history was worth it in her eyes. Her eyes fell on Sweetie who was playing with some drones and smiled even more. Equestria was hers, truly hers. Her wish had come true but at a terrible price, a price she would pay eventually.

Because deep down in the dungeon, the minds of five friends were working like an oiled machine. Five minds that tried to come up with the plan to take her down from the inside out. Rarity might have thought she had seen the last of them but the reality of the situation laid different. A lot. With them all being banished to rot for the rest of their lives, they had plenty of time to come up with their devilish schemes to overthrow the unicorn and rule as the royals had ruled.
