"Where is she? She should have been here days ago." Midnight's nostrils flared angrily as she shielded herself from the heat. They were near in the area known as the Badlands. For those not prepared for its intense heat the large deserts were a death trap.

A perfect place to construct an outpost while they continued their experiments in peace. Hot Streak landed on top of the roof causing cracks in the building's roof. She disengaged the armor, her entire body coated in sweat. "21.8 seconds. You've managed to shave six second off your time."

"Hah, could you expect any less?" Hot Streak remarked. "I think I got this death trap almost mastered." She noticed Midnight's expression. "What crawled up your ass and died today?"

"That fool Vanity isn't here. She should have been here days ago."

"Think she mentioned something about paying a visit to her rose hair goddess or something or another. Didn't pay too much of attention. She freaks me out."

"What?" Midnight angrily exploded, "…and you let her? Fool? She's talking about the Element of Kindness! This could ruin everything." Midnight disappeared in a swirl of magic.

Fluttershy had finished putting up the finish touches for lunch. The girls were coming over today and they were going to just have a pleasant lunch.

Suddenly a crash drew her attention. "Oh no! What happened?" She rushed into the other room, thinking one of her critter friends came for a visit only to freeze in shock to see an intruder in her home.

"Why hello there my little goddess. I've come to take you home." Vanity purred with a crazed look in her eye. Along her arm was a wrapped up rope. She lunged for the Fluttershy who at that moment regained her faculties and ran.

Vanity's horn sparked to life and she fired a blast of magic nailing Fluttershy in the back. The Pegaus fell to the ground, a wail escaping her lips as she turned over to see the mare give her an eerie glance.

"Why did you make me do that? You know I don't want to hurt you. Now be a good girl and come here."

Fluttershy quickly scrambled to her feet and tried to fly away, but in her panic her wings wouldn't respond. She turned just in time as a knife whizzed past her cheek. In reaction she turned only to found herself suddenly ensnared by a rope. She let out another yelp as the rope began to tie her up. "N-No wait. Please don't do this." Fluttershy whimpered as Vanity walked over to the tied up mare.

"Those curves. That innocence. I'll treasure you forever." She said as she brought out masking tape and a rag, taping the rag over Fluttershy's mouth to muffle her cries as she cast a sleeping spell on her. "I'm sure Midnight won't care if I keep you with me in my room." Vanity let out a shriek of pain as she stumbled away from the downed Pegasus.

"Hands off our friend!"

Vanity let out a hiss as she took notice of the other Bearers. Such beautiful mares. Even so if they got in her way they would have to hurt them a bit.

"Well ladies," she said as she pulled out the gem. "Time to dance!" The gem's aura washed over her as she transformed into an armor that took the form of a beautiful gown, with a hem sprouting from it, being tied with a belt of some sort. The upper part of the dress includes shoulderless sleeves and a flower petal on the user's left hand, while the foot wear consists of a pair of knee-high heel boots. In addition to all of this, the armor consists of swords currently in the form of wings.

"What the hay! How does she have armor?" Rainbow Dashed cried out.

"Just like the mare with the black armor." Rarity commented.

"Careful girls, this is going to be dangerous." Twilight said as she built up magic in her horn.

Vanity charged forward as she grabbed two of the swords. She brought them down for a slam only to meet with a barrier Twilight created. "Pinkie! Get Fluttershy out of here!" Twilight ordered as she jumped back as the barrier shattered.

"You won't! I won't let you take her!" Vanity's lack of focus caused her as a solid kick from Applejack sent her flying a few feet back. Using her sword the mare stopped herself from hitting the ground and stopped herself in place as she was suddenly being pelted by magical blasts from Rarity and Twilight.

The six remaining blades began to act independent of their user attack Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity as Vanity turned her attention toward Twilight. 'Midnight seems rather concerned about this one. I'll take her out first.' She slashed at the mare only for Twilight to disappear before appearing behind Vanity and blasting her. 'Damnit. She can teleport? Well unlike Middie I can exploit her.' She turned to Rarity who was fighting off the blades with her agility. Vanity fired a blast of magic.

"Rarity look out!" Twilight shouted. The mare turned in time to see the bolt of magic only to be scooped up Applejack.

"You okay Rare?" Applejack asked as she landed on the ground not too fat away.

"Yes Applejack I do say you were right on time." She said as with lightning speed reactions she used her gem encrusted ribbons to quickly formed a shield to block the blades that threatened to skewer the farmer.

"Why you…" Vanity was startled as she felt heat against her armor. She was nearly knocked over and quickly realized that the Pegasus Rainbow attempted to cut into her armor with a wing blade attack. "That's it…" She began firing blasts at Rainbow while focusing the two blades pursuing the Pegasus only for her to get blasted off her feet.

She quickly recovered and tried to get off a spell only to get blasted by a face full of something that whipped her head back and slammed her head on the ground. The force had nearly snapped her neck. She recovered and realized the pink mare had come back and she had a canon.

Vanity let out a scream of outrage and attempted to charge forward only to slam into a barrier. As she stumbled back and tried to recover she got punch with a blow strong enough that would have caved in her ribs if it hadn't been for her armor.

"We have enough of you weirdos messing up our town!"

"Only gonna warn you once! Get out!"

"Lyra!"

"Big Mac!"

Vanity took notice of several more of the ponies in town running towards the source of the commotion. There were too many of them and she had lost sight of the Pegasus too.

"This isn't over Bearers! I will have my prize." She promised as she was suddenly swept up in a familiar pool of aura. 'Uh oh, Midni must not be happy.' she thought as she was teleported away.

The shock of what just happened last only momentarily. The psycho was gone so they could only make sure everypony was okay.

"Is everypony okay?" Twilight asked as he looked from friend to friend for confirmation.

"I am fine darling." Rarity responded releasing the breath she had been holding. Well that was a nice little workout.

"So that Loony was Vanity?" Applejack asked as Twilight nodded. Applejack scowled, it just seemed like things were getting weirder and weirder.

"But what concerns me is her armor. That was magical armor. I could sense its magic when we were fighting her. It felt like Unicorn's magic, but also Earth, and Pegasi as well." She explained as the others looked at her with varying looks of shock and surprise. "But it wasn't Alicorn magic either. Its hard to describe. Whatever it was it felt…wrong. I don't know how to describe it." She turned to Lyra and Big Mac. "Either way thank you Big Mac, Lyra. Even though it was pretty dangerous. Next time just leave it to us ok. You guys weren't exactly trained to fight threats like this."

"Oh come on, after all the time you guys have been saving our flanks from world ending threats, least we could do is help you fight off a weirdo in armor, right Big Mac." Lyra nudged the stallion in the side.

"Eyup. He answered. What kind of big brother would he be if he let some freak attack his little sister and her friends.

"Now that we've sent that freak running with her tail between her legs go check on Fluttershy already." Rainbow Dash urged them.

Fluttershy had come to in the safety of her bedroom. She had already come to and with her was Ditzy. They promptly filled the others in on what happened. "S-So what does that mean for me now?" The experience had shaken Fluttershy up rather badly.

"I think it might be best if you move in with the one of us for a few days." Twilight suggested as she saw the worry slowly form on Fluttershy's face. "At least until some patrols are set up on this side of town. Vanity trying this again is highly improbable, but better safe than sorry."

"R-Right." She replied as she laid her head on Rarity's shoulder who was gently stroking her head.

"You can move in with me darling. There is plenty of room for you there. And since business has been slow the past few days I can come with you back here so you can tend to your animals." She volunteered and suggested as she placed a tender kiss on Fluttershy's forehead.

"Thanks Rarity."

Rainbow Dash jumped up from her stool. "I'm going to go have a fly around in case I can spot her."

"You stay safe Rainbow, ya here." Applejack called to her as a grin formed on the Pegasus's face.

"Ya kidding me? Like I can be taken out that easy I'll be back before you know it." She replied as she shot out of the window. The others stayed behind to comfort Fluttershy.

Naruto had finished up reviewing some more hopefuls. One was a griffin by the name with Umbra who had potential and another by the name of Quick Fist while in strong condition was getting up there in years.

Suddenly he felt the tug of something stirring one of his alarms south of Ponyville within the regions of the Badlands. He immediately activated the seal and went down to the area.

He arrived just in time to see what looked like ponies fighting strange black creatures that looked to be a mix between ponies and insects.

If he were to be exact they looked like Pegasus with their clear light brown/silvery wings. Their eyes were green like ooze and their coating was black, that much he could tell under the uniformed clothing. They were all dressed in the same black coating making it hard to tell where body and clothing began. The only contrast was a green emblem they all wore.

Whatever those creatures were those skinny bipedal beings were cutting down those ponies with their fangs and claws.

The only reason he didn't intervene was a cry of 'for her highness Nightmare Moon' from the ponies at the start of this brief skirmish. The Northern Badlands while technically apart of Equestria's charter only had few provinces in the north eastern part of the land as the rest of it was too unhospitable to sustain towns.

As such as they were done the creatures has turned on him and rushed it. A strange chittering noise echoing from them. The speeds of his movements kicked up a sand waves as he downed each of them with an impressive blow that left small dents in their bodies.

Just when he thought he could relax he dodged out of the way as he was nearly struck by a beam. He turned his head to see another of those things, this one distinctly female had arrived with over a hundred of those things in tow.

The female creature had a dark and dangerous beauty to her with long dark teal mane and tail, a green chitin wrapped around her midsection. Her bright green eyes were rather entrenching and on top of her head laid, a crooked horn on her forehead, and four sharp fangs peeking from her mouth. Two coming from the top and bottom of her mouth.

She was tall, not quite Celestia or Luna's height, but maybe a tad taller than Cadance. She was slim with curvy waist and large full breasts as the leafy garment she wore were also covered her lower modestly, but just enough to leave tantalizing views. Her arms and legs were ridden with holes though which was rather unusual.

"So you're not as slow as the others. No matter." She raised her hand, possibly to give an order for attack when Naruto beat her to the punch and quickly used the Tajuu Kagebunshin to outnumber her squad ten to one.

"I think mine is bigger." He said with a grin as the female creature's eyes nearly bugged out of her skull.

"So you're the Knight?" The she creature commented. She gave the blond an appraising glance. By all rights she found him attractive in stature, but the whole orange fur deal was something she could go either way on. Normally she would have tested her luck and try to enthrall the blond with her charm, but she wasn't in the most merciful moods. Especially since that blasted Unicorn and her little cohorts arrived in their area and started causing just as she was in the cusp of putting her plan into action.

"Suddenly a squad of Pegasi and Griffin began making their way towards the group along with a small collective of Satyrs."

"Priority target 4 Changeling Queen Chryaslis and Priority Target 7 Element Bearer Naruto Uzumaki. Capture the Queen and eliminate the Priority seven target." The Pegasus giving the order looked to be wearing something that reminded the blond of lamella armor while the others were wearing by the Milan..milae…huh the name wouldn't come to him.

"Looks like we got a mutual enemy." He quipped to the Queen who merely ordered her Changelings into battle.

"And here I thought today was going to be boring.' He thought to himself as he charged into the fight.

Chrysalis did not take well to be classified as three levels below a mere stallion. She was a High Queen of the Changelings. One of only four left in the world. The other two did not have her power and no one had heard of the fourth one who went into seclusion from the others with her Hive leaving her virtually uncontested as the De facto ruler of Changelings. The only thing keeping this a fact is that she avoided testing the wills of the other two lest they combined forces and destroyed her and her hive.

But upon seeing just how powerful this Priority Seven target was she realized it may be rather foolish to take him head on in her current state. She was low on power and needed to feed from a rather powerful adversary before even considering taking this stallion on. At full power she was certain her changeling allure would make him putty in her hand, but for now she would play nice.

Especially if the rumors that had been spreading around lately had been true. In fact if she played her cards right she might have found a ticket into the confines of Canterlot that didn't involve kidnapping and impersonation. She would be able to walk right in and not only get the sustenance her children so desperately needed, but the revenge she so desired. Putting on her best face Chrysalis proceeded to charm the stallion. If she managed to get a little sustenance herself out of the deal then that was merely a bonus.
