Forgotten and Exiled Side Story
Chapter 2: Surprise
Previous Chapter Next ChapterKrill woke and winced feeling her throbbing head making her groan and try to rub her head, only to find that her hooves were tied.
"Oh so you're awake." She heard a voice just as pain erupted in one of her legs making her scream as she felt it moved around.
"Now that I have your attention, I need a little information on what your queens plans are for Equestria." Krill looked up to just as a light was clicked on above her. She blinked letting her vision clear only to feel a hoof slam into her face.
"I believe the boss asked you a question." She heard a gruff voice while feeling her lifted up.
"What do you want? I didn't do anything." She whimpered only for another hoof to slam into her face.
"You heard what I said, now tell me what I want to know or this will only get worse for you." It was a mares voice that spoke to her making her whimper.
"I don't know anything I swear! I'm just a drone, she doesn't tell us anything until it time for it to happen." She cried.
"Ok then, who is in charge of this little settlement?" She asked but the changeling didn't answer as she closed her eyes only for them to snap back open.
"I can't feel them! I can't feel mother! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!" She cried as panic started to seep in.
"Simple really I cut off a part of your brain that is connected to the hive, namely, your horn." The mare stated as the changelings eyes went wide as she tried to use any kind of magic.
"So you know what that means, no contacting the queen or anyone to come and help you. Oh and you won't be able to dive into the hive to get away from the pain." She could hear the smirk in the mares voice.
"We're going to have lots of fun and getting to know each other." She said as Krill saw two red slitted eyes glaring at her.
"What are you?" She asked.
"Why I'm the one who is going to rid this world of its changeling infestation." She chirped just as a white stallion came into view.
"Now who's in charge of the Ponyville district?" She asked as the changeling grinned.
"I'm not telling you a fu-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed as the knife was plunged into her other hind leg.
"Hm so you want to be a tough mare huh? Do you know how many little shits I've killed over the years who thought they could keep things away from me?" She asked as the changeling glared at her.
"Very well, continue." She stated as the changeling felt the knife twisted making her scream in agony.
"All I want is a little info and I'll make the pain go away." She said as the changeling slumped in the chair panting.
"You won't get anything from me, the queen has conditioned all of us to withstand torture." She panted.
"Hm I guess you're right, but what about an isolated mind from the hive?" She asked getting a shocked look from the changeling.
"Of course you haven't, your kind rely too much on the hive to even be able to live. You have grown addicted to the hive and it is your weakness." She growled as the mare stepped into the light making the changeling shiver in fear watching the mare's body begin to change as the temperature began to rise.
The mare smiled as she placed her hooves on the changeling's knees burning a hoof print in both of them making her scream in pain.
"Lets see what you know." She said as her horn lit up while Krill's world went black.
Twilight pulled back from the changeling with a small ball in her magical grip as pictures blurred together inside.
"Lets see what you have here." Twilight smiled looking at the dead changeling.
As Twilight began to sort through the memories she found what she needed making her grin letting the other memories fade away as she released her magic around it.
"Come on, lets go have a little talk with Time Turner." She grinned just as another pony came down the stairs.
"Boss we have everything secured and all the towns ponies are at the town hall." He stated getting a nod from Twilight.
"Get rid of this thing before it starts to stink. Bulk head back and look over Celestia, keep her safe." Twilight ordered getting a nod from him as she flashed away.
Mayor Mare smiled as she looked over the gathered ponies that were muttering about as she waited for Twilight.
She smiled when she saw the mare teleport behind the crowd making them all turn and gape at her.
"Twilight? What are you doing here?" Nurse Redheart asked as the mare pushed past her.
"Wow it's great being back in my old town after ten years. Though I got to admit I think I prefer my place a lot more after being away for so long. Now a few of you know why I'm here but the rest of you don't, so let me explain." She smiled walking through the crowd as they parted while she eyed each and every one of them.
"You can't be here Twilight, the princess banished you a decade ago." Carrot Top said as Twilight turned to her and smiled seeing the mare sweat and swallowed as she came closer.
"On whose orders? I don't take orders from your queen." She whispered making the other mares eyes widen.
"Mayor Mare! What is the meaning of this!?" Mrs. Cake asked glaring at Twilight while the mare smiled at her.
"Mayor Mare take a note please." She said as the mare grabbed a scroll much to the shock of those around her.
"Spike while you are in the hive be sure to save any ponies you come across before you burn everything else." She said as Big Mac came to her side.
"Done Boss." She said tossing the scroll to Twilight who caught it in her magic before sending it.
"You're bluffing!" Vinyl growled as Twilight turned to her.
"Oh, about what Scratch? Hm? You got something you want to share with the rest of us?" She smiled as the mare started to sweat and backed away.
"Let me tell you what your situation is. You are all about to go to sleep and then I'm going to cast another spell and some of you won't be waking back up." She said as she flashed onto the stage and shot a spell into the air that exploded over crowd making them all drop.
Twilight smiled and charged another spell that shot out over town making the changelings go back to their true forms as well as canceling any mind spells forced on the civilians.
Twilight smiled seeing the changelings crumpled on the ground as she grabbed the one that was once Time Turner and began to drag him away.
As she reached the door she turned to her soldiers and smiled looking at changelings.
"Kill the rest." She stated and walked out the door.
Twilight sighed as she sent where the ponies they captured were inside the hive to Spike and looked back at the changeling smiling.
"Thank you for your assistance Thrall." She said picking up and cleaning the blood off her knife.
"What are you doing!? I told you what you wanted!" He yelled while she continued to smile walking towards him as he tried to scoot away in the chair he was bound to.
"Oh but didn't you hear what I said? I'm cleaning the world of changeling filth, I can't do that if you're still alive." She simply stated watching as he paled.
"Please I have a family." He screeched as she raised a eyebrow.
"That's ok, you can meet them wherever you end up." She said as he backed into the wall.
"I'll be sure to make it quick." She said making him whimper as she reached him.
"Please."
"Goodbye."
SHUCK
As Thrall's world went dark Twilight pulled the knife from his head cleaning it again out of habit before sheathing the blade.
"Put him with the rest, and then burn it. I want you to sweep the town and make sure we got everyone." She ordered Big Mac as he nodded motioning Bulk to take the body while he went to do as ordered, while Twilight headed to the safe house.
As she walked through the street she could see her soldiers moving around with some of the towns ponies clearing out homes looking for any signs of changelings, making her smile.
She saw Octavia turn and spot her making her go wide eyed while she was escorted to her home by Big Mac who tipped his head to her.
Twilight smiled as she made it to the safe house where she saw Lyra coming out and sigh.
"Everything ok Lyra?" Twilight asked as the mare smiled over at her nodding.
"Yeah, just needed to get some air and stretch after fighting with Rarity." She said working her jaw while Twilight looked at her concerned gently taking a hold of her jaw as her eyes turned blue while Lyra let out a moan.
"Thanks Boss, for a frilly mare she can really pack a punch." She said rubbing the phantom pain a little while Twilight smiled.
"Glad to help, keep a look out while I go and have a chat with the elements and Celestia.
As Twilight walked into the safe house a small smile seemed to grow on her face as she began to chuckle before it came to a roaring laugh as she had to stop herself while she looked down at her hooves.
The world seemed to fade as she felt a wetness seemed to come up from the floor along with the screams of pain.
"I SWEAR BOSS IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!"
BLAM!!
"I swear I never talked Ms. Twilight. HUGH!"
THUD.
"Please I have a family!"
Twilight put her hooves over her ears as the voices, screams, and sounds continued to get louder and louder.
"STOP!" She screamed and looked around to see everything silent while she still stood in deep pool of blood going up to her knee.
"What's the matter Twilight? This is you, this is what you reveled in for the last decade." A voice from the darkness chuckled as blue and red eyes opened.
"Who are you? Show yourself." Twilight demanded only getting a chuckle.
"As you wish." It said as Twilight watched wide eyed while she watched herself come into the light with a sinister smile on her face.
"Do you like what I did with the place? Everything you've accomplished is here, the amount of blood you spilled on those WEAK bastards and traitors alike. Their screams music to our ears before the sudden and beautiful silence after a kill." She laughed before letting out a sigh and smiled at Twilight.
"How are you me? What is this place?" She asked watching the other her smiled and cocked her head.
"So many questions Twilly, for starters we are in your mind. Your latest kill bought you here to visit little old me. I'm really honored to meet you. Sister." She smiled while Twilight looked around.
"Seems a bit dark and gory don't you think?" She asked while her other self smiled and clapped her hooves. The area around them changed to that of the manor back home making the mares smile.
"I have to say Twilight, when you created me I have never thought of how much potential you have and the art of killing and death you have created in the early years of our banishment. You my dear are a artist, I take my hat off to you." She smiled bowing taking a top hat off.
"So who are you, and what do you mean I created you?" Twilight asked as the clone smiled as she motioned for to the chair. Twilight walked over as the clone pulled it out for her and pushed it in while pulling out a cigar and lighting it for her.
"It's simple my dear, I was born from the hatred you have for your friends, family, and mentor along with the abuse you took from the city in the early years. Do you remember your first kill?" She asked as a window opened making her turn to see herself bashing in the griffons face with the bar.
Twilight smiled at that along with the clone of herself as she waved a hoof and the window disappeared.
"I am the you that was born from the darkness that your mind at the time couldn't handle. Do you remember the feeling of power after the deed was done and what came after?" She asked as Twilight smiled.
Revenge. Torture. Death.
The clone smiled wide and nodded showing the bodies of her former kills butchered beyond recognition.
"Yes, I was the one that took control and made this reality. I was the one the helped make all the difficult choices and I was the one to help you when the world seemed bleak and it seemed all hope was over. I am your darkness Twilight, your insanity, your hate, your pain, your sadness, and all your anger and rage." She smiled as Twilight nodded.
"I have to thank you for all that you have helped me with, do you have a name?" She asked as the clone looked at her shocked.
"I am Fear, everything that you are scared to become." She said as Twilight raised a eyebrow.
"I see, well your services are no longer needed, I can't afford to lose control in a battle." Twilight stated as Fear growled.
"Sorry but I won't go back to the darkness, I've tasted the world and the pure bliss of a kill. You've felt it to Twilight, every kill, every beating you took part in, you loved it." Fear smirked as Twilight puffed on her cigar.
"Maybe, but you are a wild card and since I'm sure you know me just as much as I do. So You know how much I despise wild cards, they are to uncontrollable. This is my body and if you are my emotions then I can easily take control of you and force you back into the darkness." She said with a bored look on her face as Fear growled.
"I'm here to stay Twilight, so you better get used to me being here." She said as Twilight smirked just as chains burst from the floor wrapping around Fear while screamed in rage.
"YOU THINK YOU WILL STOP ME, YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME TWILIGHT! I AM YOU AND YOU ARE ME, NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US!" She raged while sinking into the floor while Twilight got up and came around the desk ,squatting down and smiling at Fear.
"You're right I can't live without my emotions, and the fact that you have built a consciousness just shows that I can't kill you. But I can control you." She smirked as the mare sank into floor screaming in defiance.
"Fool, this is my mind. I control all in my domain." She smirked down where Fear was.
"Time to see my dear friends. Hahaha." Twilight laughed as the world around her faded away.
Twilight opened her eyes with a smirk just as she saw Celestia and her former friends come around a corner. Twilight frowned looking at them as they froze while Celestia trotted up to her with a happy smile.
"Twilight! I'm so glad you're alright." She beamed having a bit more glow to her after a while of good rest.
"Celestia, good to see you up and about." Twilight nodded to the dumbstruck mare.
"Twilight are you alright?" She asked as the little unicorn smiled glaring at the elements.
"Twilight we-" Applejack tried to say but looked away.
"I don't want to talk to you right now, to much anger with you I don't trust myself." She growled as Fluttershy flew up to her.
"Twilight, please talk to us. Will you at least talk to me? Please?" She whispered while Celestia looked between the group confused.
"I'm sorry I don't understand what's going on." Celestia stated as Twilight's gaze turned to her making her flinch at the amount of anger in the mares eyes.
"Well my good friends here abandoned me when I tried to talk to them about Cadence, but they turned their backs on me when I needed them the most. Them and my family all betrayed me." She growled while Celestia looked at the girls in shock.
"Is this true?" She asked as Twilight huffed.
"Of course it is, would I lie to you?" She asked glaring at Celestia as well making the mare glaring back.
"No you wouldn't Twilight but I want to hear it from them." She said sternly as the mare blinked and looked down.
"Sorry princess, I don't know what came over me." She said as a wing pulled her into a hug making her smile a little.
'You will never be rid of me Twilight, I'm here to stay and no matter how much you try to hide me away, I'll always came back.' Twilight heard in her head making her growl a little.
'You will regret it every time you try to take control.' She thought only getting laughter that faded into the back of her mind.
"Is everything alright Twilight?" Celestia asked as Twilight shook her head and smiled up at her former teacher.
"I'm fine Celestia, anyway I don't have time unwanted reunions. I must get to Canterlot and end this nightmare. You stay here where it's safe Celestia along with you five, it's too dangerous for you and you Celestia are too weak to even think of fighting Chrysalis." Twilight said as Celestia looked at her with worry.
"Twilight you will have to deal with a whole city of most likely brainwashed ponies and her own changelings, not to mention my own sister. There's no way I can let you do this alone." She stated firmly while Twilight chuckled.
"You couldn't stop me right now if you wanted to, besides. I think Chrysalis will be too busy to worry about little ol' me anyway." She laughed trotting to the door.
"Lyra send a message to the Canterlot cells to prepare for operations." She as her eyes glowed red that were slit making the mare gulp and nod.
"Hahaha! Oh changeling blood will flow in rivers when this is over, I'll be sure to bath in Chrysalis blood tonight for all that she's done to me and my son." Twilight laughed while trotting out the door while Celestia stood wide eyed at where her student was.
"Ok you will tell me what I've missed in the last ten years now, and you won't leave anything out. Do I make myself clear?" She growled as some of her magic swirled around her.
