Very far away from Canterlot, Derpy followed Draco Snarl all the way to an incredibly large thunderstorm. She flew above the dark clouds. What stood before her was the army itself. Countless Draco-Snarl creatures were preparing. Some were making armor, others battle plans, and others were practicing. It did not take them long to notice Derpy.
“Intruder! Get her!” said one of the creatures. Derpy was dog-piled by the creatures until she was successfully hoof-cuffed. They dragged her to Draco Snarl.
“Well, well, what have we here, Iron Clad?” Draco asked while smiling sinisterly.
“We found her peaking in on the north border just after you returned, General” responded the creature named Iron Clad.
“I think I remember seeing her at Canterlot. Yes, I’d recognize those strange eyes anywhere. She’s a security pony. Chain her up. We need to interrogate her,” said Draco. Iron Clad chained Derpy.
“So, young pony, you work for the princess. You must know the army numbers, battle strategies? Spit it out and you live!” Draco Snarl said suddenly.
“General Snarl, we all know you’re not very good at interrogating,” Iron Clad mentioned.
“I may not be good at interrogating, but I’m great at torture! Listen you little runt, I’m gonna let you live for now. Unless you want this little filly to be in excruciating pain, you’re gonna tell me everything you know,” threatened Draco while pointed at a caged young earth pony.
“Please, I didn’t do anything. I don’t even have my cutie mark yet!” said the filly.
“Quiet, you,” said Draco said as she kicked the cage.
“No, don’t hurt her. I don’t know anything. They just put me on security so I would stop destroying things. They gave me the lowest security, so I secretly swapped security passes with a high-ranking guard. Please, I don’t know anything, honest!” pleaded Derpy. Draco scowled, clearly not believing.
“That is by far the most creative story I’ve ever heard from a captive, but obviously fake. Until you squeal, this little filly is going to undergo a gruesome transformation,” said Draco. Draco nodded at another one of her kind, and he brought in a baby dragon. The creature connected the cages of the dragon and the filly. He then brought in a bloody unicorn horn and put it in the cage. Derpy curiously stared at it.
Draco’s horns began to glow. The dragon and the filly started to glow and were pushed together. The touching fur and scales began to meld. Slowly, the lines between pony and dragon became less and less clear. The creatures bellowed cries of pain most unimaginable. They became more and more one. Derpy tried to look away but a guard help her head still. Draco horns stopped glowing. In the cage was now an unrecognizable blob. It 3 remaining eyes squinted from the pain. It emitted a strange half-neigh half-roar noise from the conjoined mouths.
“And we’re only partly through,” snarked Draco. She continued the spell. She worked on refining the creature. The claws began to disappear. The herbivore teeth were replaced with dragon fangs. The dragon tail was replaced with the pony tail. Dragon spikes became composed of hair. The unicorn horn combined with the dragon horns. The pony eyes became dragon eyes. It stopped crying in pain. The creature looked like all of the other Draco Snarl creatures, except for the color, mane, and tail differences.
“And now that the body is complete, we shall begin with the mind,” Draco snarl said sinisterly.
“The mind?” questioned Derpy.
“Yes, you see the pain of the transformation causes the creature to go insane. So we must erase all memory from it. It also prevents any possible wanting to go back to their old lives,” responded Draco. She resumed the magic. The creature did not move, but its eyes darted back and forth. The spell continued for about 10 minutes. Finally, satisfied with her work, she completed the spell.
“A new member of the army someday. Young one, I deem you, ah, Bloodlust,” said Draco.
“A marvelous name, General Snarl,” Iron Clad praised.
“Yes, take her to the nursery please. Don’t worry, little cutie, you’ll have a mommy and daddy soon enough,” said Draco in a baby voice. The newly formed creature smiled and stomped its hooves. Iron Clad took the baby and walked away.
