***Twilight pov. Ponyville***


It been a week after Futtershy reforming Discord I was thinking he’d try and pull something once Celestia was out of site. I guess I was wrong but now we have the elements with us, so we can finally go after Asphyxious. There was just one draw back, Discord wanted to come to.

"For the last time your not coming with us!" Yelled Rainbow Dash, as was she flying in front of Discord’s face.

"How rude Rainbow Crouch, I was just thinking of the well being of my best friend and worried for her safety. That’s why I’m coming along" With a snap of his paw he shrunk himself to the size of a rabbit, no wait he looked like a rabbit.

"Is it really so bad that I want to keep an eye on you girls?" I rolled my eyes as I looked at the map. From what I’ve managed to pin down Asphyxious should be right about.

"What are you finding so interesting in this dusty old map Sparkle my dear?" I blinked see a small Discord standing inside the map looking over all of the math I drew up.

"Discord get out of there we need this map to help find a dangerous being called Asphyxious!" After my yelling Discord pops out of the map and sit on Applejack’s back eating a coconut?

"Girls, girls you’re going about this all wrong. Now Twilight tell me what was your plan to finding this… What was his name again?" He asked. Pulling a mope out of his ear.

"Darling I know you are trying to help but Twilight knows what she doing, she wouldn’t have had us walk all the way out here without a plan… You do have a plan right Twilight?" Asked Rarity wearing some kind of outdoors fashion I’ve never seen before.

"My plan is to ask the diamond dogs where he is" My friends look at me for a moment, before Applejack spoke up.

"Twi, yeah do know we don’t know any diamond dogs right. Why the only ones I do know are the ones who kidnapped" I saw the gears turning in AJ head as she looks back at Rarity. Infact all my friends looked at her as Discord was playing with sock puppets behind her of when the diamond dogs kidnapped her.

"Really you want to ask them where he is? We don’t even know if they know who he is" Said Rainbow Dash as she lands next to me. "I mean I know we’re trying to find this guy and kick his butt, but these diamond dogs don’t look all that smart to me"

"Come on Dashy it’ll be fun like last time when we all landed in that big pile of gems and bit’s. Hey I wonder if they like parties?" Said Pinkie Pie as she sat on Discord’s head.

"Oh my Pinkie Pie come down from there you could give Discord a really bad neck ache like that" Said Futtershy as she flapped meekly up next to his head. "I am so sorry I hope she isn’t hurting you"

Discord just smiles as he pulls his head off then put it on the ground as another head pops in it place. "Not at all my Shy little friend, it been a lot of fun but I’m sure old sunbutt want’s me to help with some orderly tack yuck. Give me a call when you find him" He snaps his paw and his gone.

"Great, first he complains that he didn’t get to come with now that we’re going he buzz’s off!" Grunts Rainbow Dash.

"Come on girls we can’t waste any more time" I said getting them all back on track. We walk back to the gem fields hopping to find any sign of the diamond dogs. I then thought back to that hole we found to get in side of their den. It took us some time to find it only this time we didn’t all fall down it, I had some climbing gear rented out for us to use so we could get down. Once we’re down there well it looked empty.

"Sooo… Where are they?" Asked RD as she flies around looking into each tunnel. I look at Rarity who didn’t like to be down here anymore then Rainbow Dash. "I must say I didn’t miss this place one bit. I mean look at this place I’m barely away for almost a year and they just let it all get so dirty"

I could not help but giggle at her thats when I saw diamond dogs in armour walk out of each tunnel. "Oh ya now we’re talking bring it on I can take you with one hoof behind my back!" Yells Rainbow Dash.

"Now hold on da missy we’re not here to start trouble" Said AJ as she holds RD tail to stop her from going after the diamond dogs. I looked at Rarity and nod at her, I hope this works. She smiles back and take off her scarf and smiles at them before saying this. "Hello boys, did you miss me?"

They all yelped and ran off into the tunnels, wow I think that worked to well. "Wait we want to ask you something!" Yells Pinkie Pie as she ran after them. I sighed at this as we all ran after her, it didn’t take us long to find the diamond dogs we were looking for.

"What do you mean she back! we didn’t kidnapped any ponies like they said why is she here!" Said a brown diamond dog wearing a red coat.

"M-maybe she want more gems?" Said a larger diamond dog wearing a black coat. He may have been big but I don’t think he would hurt anypony.

"But we don’t have anymore!, the Farrows took them all" Panicked A small diamond dog I didn’t really like that one. Farrows must be the name of another pack of diamond dogs. That got me a little worried if there was another group of diamond dogs running around that could give these three trouble then that could mean trouble for ponyville.

"Oh Rover, Fido, Spot it is so lovely to see you all again" Said Rarity as we all walk up to them. All three diamond dogs stop what they're doing and run up to her. "Miss Rarity it so nice to see you again we kept our promise there are no ponies here" Said Rover as he smiles at her.

"Yes, no ponies just like you said, but we don’t have any gems to give you right now so" Said Spot as his hugging Rarity leg and cleaning her hoof.

"We’re sorry miss Rarity Farrows came and took them all" Said Fido with his ears flat on his head. There it was again ‘Farrows’ just what happened down here. "I’m sorry darlings but what are these ‘Farrows’ you are talking about are they another group of diamond dogs?" Asked Rarity.

"No, they are pigs that walk on two paws. They bring boom sticks and large clevers, they threatened​ to kill us all unless we give them gems" Said Rover as his ear go flat on his head. "Oh you poor things" Said Fluttershy. While I and the others look at each other and talk while she dealing with them.

"This sound really strange to me I’ve never heard of anything called a Farrow before let alone a pig that can walk on two legs" I said as I think of possible creatures that could look like that.

"I’m a little more worried about these boomsticks they all was talkin about. That sound a little like Pinkie’s cannon maybe smaller?" Said Applejack.

"I don’t know they could be muskets from the Griffon empire, Gilda told me about them once. They make a loud boom sound but anypony could carry them" Rainbow Dash. I saw she had this far off look after she said that.

"Pinkie any Thoughts?" I asked as Pinkie Pie looked like she was trying really hard to think about something. "Maybe they’re like a group of circus pigs that love shooting off fireworks!" She said with a big smile.

"I don’t think these guys are from the circus pinks" Said RD as she keep an eye on Shy. I on the other hoof would have to make a report of this back to the princesses once we find Asphyxious.





***Asphyxious pov working in his lab***



Careful, careful just a little more and there… I removed the piece of metal from the cortex and got a real good look inside. I got this from that huge warjack that talked to me and another displaced. I was going over the cortex trying to find any useful info in side of it, so far I’ve had no luck on finding out what happened to the other kingdoms that are now in ruins.



That thing that thinks you are it’s father is here…


I could not help but laugh at this and thought back to him.


What wrong Sombra don’t like kids?.


I can’t stand it looking at me like I’m some kind of oversized toy!.



I roll my eyes at him as I speak up. "Pupa what are you doing you know you’re not allowed in here, I do a lot of dangerous work in here" I picked up the jar with Everblight heart stone in it and put it inside my rib cage where I could keep an eye on it.

"How did you know it was me daddy?" I just love hearing that cute little voice. "You’re the only one who tries to sneak in here when you know full well how dangerous it is in here" As I said that I saw her poke her head out from under one of my arms. She’s just so cute, makes me wish I had kids when I was still human.

"What you doing?" She asked as she watches me work, I slowly removed a gem with markings on it and the soft glow of magic. "I’m trying to find out what it remembers, this is the mind of a warjack. I have to be careful that I don’t damage anything seeing how old it is"

Pupa sits quietly as I work, Its a good thing there isn’t a lot of magic in this thing. So their no risk of it exploding, this has kind of become our routine for the past week. She would sit with me then play with the other pups and look at the fillies. Some of the ponies that are living here have started having kids. I guess it was just a matter of time, but there are those who once were strong enough to leave they did so. I wasn’t really worried about it really, I did see some of them look pregnant when we freed them from their imprisonment.​

They said they wouldn’t tell anyone about me or where I was. I guess I could get used to this, I believe them anyway that's when I heard Chrysalis calling as I wonder what she wants now?. "Mummy" Calls Pupa as she run off, there goes our time I’ve found when I focus on my work for too long I start to lose track of time.

I guess that happens when you don’t sleep anymore. Odd thing is when I do sleep Chrysalis wants to sleep in the same bed as me, even where she has her own room. I pick up Dox token and some others then look at them, they all looked so interesting. Should I summon someone?. I roll my jaw around as I think about this. "Asphyxious I would like to talk with you" I heard Chrysalis say as I turn around and blink at her. "yeah what's up?" I asked as I go back to work.

"Puparium and I have been living here for the past week yet you feed us, gave us somewhere to hide and ask for nothing in return" Okay, this was kind of strange. I have no idea why she looking at me like that. "What would you like to happen say, if we stay here with you. I’m sure I can find something to please your tastes~" She said in a lust full tone, holy crap I think she want to have sex with me.

"Chrysalis umm, that's really nice of you but I got a lot of work to do so" Next thing I know I’m in my bedroom with Chrysalis sitting on top of me. Oh crap not again… "Chrysalis calm down lets talk about this" I say hopping it’ll get her to listen.

"Asphyxious I need to make a hive I can’t leave my little Puparium all alone. I want you to father the next line of my children~" She purrs at me, crap she even licks my jaw bone. Heh that funny seeing as I have no skin. "Chrysalis I really think you should calm down and let me explain"

She then start to lick down my rib cage holy crap I can actually feel her tongue going down my chest. Focus dude, focus this is not the time for this. "Look I really don’t think" That when she kissed me. My mind go blank as she kisses me, I could feel her tongue roll along my teeth and on the roof of my mouth before pulling away. Holy crap…

"You just stay right there and I’ll do all the work" My mind was blank for a few seconds before I realized what she was intending to do. "Wait Chrysalis I don’t" She pulled up my… Well where my legs used to be and blinks at it. Then put it back down and raise an eyebrow before asking this. "Asphyxious; explain." I sighed as I sit up and look at her I even pulled her into a hug.

"Chrysalis I am a Iron Lich, the only thing that still remains of my old body is my skull" I felt her front legs slowly wrap around me as she softly nuzzles my shoulder. "I… I’m sorry I thought, I don’t know what I thought" I pet her head and stroke the back of her long neck.

"It okay you didn’t know, but I can feel what you did" She looks back up at me and gives me this lust filled smile. Oh no I just said the wrong thing didn’t I? Wait don’t panic what can she do I mean what could she do to. That was when she kissed me again, GOD DAMNIT!.

I stop her and gasp for air even though I can’t breathe anymore. "Okay calm down and explain this to me, one why do you want to have sex with me so badly and two why me?" Chrysalis just rolls her eyes at me as she get off of me and sit on the bed next to me. "Well for one thing you don’t hate changelings, also when you saw Pupa you didn’t try to hurt her you helped her and fed her. That something I thought nopony would do"

Okay I’m following her so far, but that still don’t explain why she wants to sleep with me. "Also you are powerful, you somehow got the most unruly of beings to willingly follow you. I want to feel that power even if I am nothing more than your toy and play thing, I want to rebuild my hive and I want you to be the one who helps me do it" She licks her lips when she finished.

I am feeling really uncomfortable right about now, it is times like this I wish I had a girlfriend or someone to hide behind. She then sighed and rests her head on my chest, running her hoof along one of my ribs. "Don’t worry I’ll find away~" I can’t tell if that was really creepy or really sexy with the way she said that. Okay I got to get out of here before she starts to get any other ideas.

"Chrysalis!" I heard Gilda yell then barged in looking pissed, with all her feathers covered in paint. With one sweetly smiling Pupa being held up for all to see who was covered in paint too. "Why… Did you send this. Little troublemaker, into my room and say it was okay to paint on everything including me!"

I could not help but laugh, Oh my god I could see blues, greens, yellows and red or maybe that her face. Oh god I could die of laughter right now, this was the life, it may be strange, it may be weird but it home.




***Twilight pov***





"And you three are sure this is the way in?" I asked Rover, Spot and Fido. We were walking for hours and then the three diamond dogs some how manage to sneak us on to a train that runs in the underground tunnels. I still could not believe it, most ponies didn’t think the diamond dogs think beyond wanting more gems, let alone make a working train network.

This could revaluations the trade industry all over equestria. "Twilight stop geeking out your scaring them" Said Rainbow Dash. I blink and look back at the Rover, Spot and Fido and saw that they was all hiding behind both Rarity and Fluttershy.

"Heh sorry" I said feeling embarrassed about all that. "Are you alright Mr.Fido you look really worried?" Asked Fluttershy. The large diamond dog just keeps shaking as he lay on the floor.

"We’ve never left our den before, and now we’re going to meet hero of the diamond dogs" Said Rover as he sit down on the metal floor of the cart we’re all in.

"Wait hero?, when did this guy become a hero" Said RD as she go up to Rover. "He help to destroy the pup killer, the pony enslaver. The dark king you call Sombra" That was a bit of a shock. I didn’t know just how truly evil King Sombra really was. Not only that I don't think Asphyxious did a lot to help.

"He killed puppy dogs" Gasp Fluttershy as she cover her mouth however Rover shake his head no. "He killed Diamond dog pup’s" Said Spot as he looks at the floor.

"He did WHAT!" Screamed Rarity. "Why that ruffen, that brute!, turning ponies into slaves was one thing, but to kill the little darlings who couldn’t even harm a fly that's!" Just before she screams again we all quickly cover her mouth.

"Rarity have you lost it?!" Said Rainbow Dash in a harsh whisper.

"Beside theres no reason to get upset sugarcube, he was destroyed by the crystal heart remember?" Said Applejack as she pins Rarity to the metal floor. I saw her calm down and nod her head then we all let her up.

"Oh will you look at this I’m covered in black soot, do you girls have any idea how hard this will wash out?" We all laughed at this. Looks like Rarity’s back to her old self, that when we heard what almost sounds like a foghorn.

"We’re here" Said Rover with novelty. I nod at the girls as we all make our way out. "Wait how are we all going to get out of here once we hit Asphyxious with the Elements?" Asked Rainbow Dash as she kept an eye out at the tunnel up ahead.

"Don’t worry girls I’m sure Rover and his friends can handle it" Said Rarity with a big smile. "Y-yes miss Rarity" Said Fido as he stand up not really noticing Pinkie sleeping on his back.

"Y-ya sure we can drive this… Right?" Said Spot as he looks at Rover who looked like he was going to have a breakdown. "That right we’ll rescue you if anything bad happens" Said Rover as he puffs his chest out. "Good boys" Said Rarity as she rubs each and everyone of them under the chin.

"Alright girls let go" I say as we make our way in to the tunnel.


I was amazed by what I was seeing this was more than a diamond dog den it was a factory. We saw diamond dogs everywhere but the most strangest thing was there were ponies down there too. But they didn’t look like they were slaves they looked more like they were working with the diamond dogs.

"Okay… I’ll be the first pony to say this, this looks so awesome" Said Rainbow Dash as I look at what she staring at. It was a large machine that walked on two legs and had large digging like claws on the ends of it arms. It’s head looked a bit like a diamond dog.

"I’m a startin to think we bitten more off then we can chew" I heard Applejack say.

I was about to call this whole plan off when I heard three voices. That was when I saw her, somepony I never wanted to see again. "My little Puparium was just trying to help you relax and help you be a little more happy with her skillful hooves"

It was Queen Chrysalis, I thought I’d never see her again. What was she doing here!?. "Don’t give me that bug, you just wanted to make a mess of my room and look at me! it’ll take hours to get myself clean again!"

"That Gilda what she doing here!?" Whispered Rainbow Dash. I could hear the sound of her grinding her teeth. That when I saw Pinkie pointing at Asphyxious who looked like he was laughing and had a foal in his arms who was covered in paint.

"Okay, okay I know how to deal with this Chrysalis I want you to clean up Pupa then you can help Gilda clean her room" I saw the queen look like she stumbled as she looks back at the lich.

"What?! I will not I am a queen and as a queen-" Asphyxious then waved his claw at her to cut her off. "You are living in my den, that means you follow my rules. Don’t do a pranks unless you are going to help clean it up" I could see Gilda smiling at this even as the queen looked like she was pouting?.

"Mummy, Daddy did I do something wrong?" Wait, what did that filly just say. "Not at all but you really should of asked Gilda if you could play with the paints with her first" Said Asphyxious as he pet the little foal head. Wait did she just call Asphyxious her DADDY!?!.

"Okay daddy I’ll ask next time I promise." I didn’t know how to process this. I look to my friends to see their reactions, Pinkie was excited and had this huge grin on her face. Fluttershy was smiling a little. Applejack was, I’m not sure she just staring with wide eyes. Rarity looked like she was tiering up in one eye. Rainbow Dash looked conflicted as if she doesn't know if she should be happy or angry.

Me… I just didn’t understand, but we came this far and we can’t go back now. "Hay Asphyxious I need to talk to you" Yelled out a Diamond Dog who was walking up to them. "Rex how it going everything working out okay?" The Iron Lich goes over to the diamond dog called Rex who pulled the Lich closer. It almost looks like he is whispering to him.

Asphyxious then slowly go over to the Changeling Queen and hoof over the Foal to her. Just what was he doing?. "Ladies and gentlemen, places stop and lend me your ear’s" He calls out and everypony stop working to look at him.

"Now most of you that know me from the start I lay down some rules for incase somepony showed up" I saw everypony’s ears go up when he said that. "Do not fear for you see some ‘Pony’ has found their way into the den. But don’t worry I’m sure everything is fine, isn’t that right ‘Everypony’" I was confused why was he focusing on the word pony?.

"Now remember that little play the pups and fillies put on, about a little ‘pony’ called jack and the beanstalk?, do it with me. Where… Are.. The main six?" He said and just like that in one voice they all yell.

"THEIR RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" I was shocked that they all know where we were. "Where?" He asked putting his claw to where his ear would be.

"RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" I didn’t move my friends didn’t move we were all rooted to the spot. I saw Pinkie who was loving this and was joining in. "We are right behind him!" She calls out. "Pinkie!" We all yell, well Fluttershy was passed out from the first yell. I was about to tell the girls to run but then I heard a click.

"No need to run off now" I slowly turned around as saw diamond dogs holding muskets that RD told us about but these ones didn’t have a long barrel. Not only that but there was two ponies standing with them.

"Please don’t fight us we don’t want to hurt you" Said the stallion with what looked like a metal jaw and metal hooves. The other pony was a mare but she had her wings replaced with some kind of metal claws. "It’ll be easier on everybody if you just give up"

I had to think fast we’re too far away to use the elements before they can stop us. I look down saw Asphyxious was looking up at us. "Everypony get close to me!" I yell and charge up my magic. I hope I have enough magic left after this.I teleported us right behind Asphyxious.




***Asphyxious pov***



Huh didn’t think they would run away. "Daddy behind you!" I turned around and saw them, and I laughed. I could already feel Cankerworm and Seether making their way to us. "Don’t worry daddy has everything under control" I said in a calming tone it helped I didn’t fear them ever. Is it a bad thing I've gotten used to Pupa calling me her dad?.

"Alright Asphyxious we’re here to stop your evil plans!" Yells Twilight, wow that’s really cute. They still think I’m the bad guy, really? maybe I’m hoping for too much, with them to think outside the box.

"You got me my evil plan is ruined now that you found me, I’ll never be able to draw funny doodles on droollester face" I said in a over the top fashion. That made little pupa laugh.

"Wait that was you who yelled that out!" Shouts Twilight. That’s when Cankerworm leans over the edge of the upper level and hisses at them. They all back up as it lands behind them. "Go on use the Elements Of Harmony on me, I dare you" I laughed again at the shocked look on Twilight and her friends faces. I know they can't hurt me after all I'm not evil just crazy.

"Are you nuts!" Yelled Gilda from behind me. "You’ll be turned to stone are you out of your mind" I slowly turn back to her and say. "Why yes, yes I am… all thanks to their ‘Lovely’ princess" I hissed with sarcasm. "Thanks to her my mind is little more then shattered glass… You can try and put the pieces back together again but it won’t be the same anymore. There will always be missing pieces"

"You're wrong the princess would never use mind magic to hurt somepony like that!" I slowly turn back to Twilight and her friends. "She didn’t" I said my voice void of all feeling and emotion. "She just left me to go insane" I saw the look of horror in Twilights eyes.

"No way he's lying there no way the princess would do that to anypony right guys!" Said RD, Oh how foolish you are. I looked at AJ and saw all I need to see her eyes, they were full of fear. "He's not lying yall" Said Applejack. I could not help it I laughed a insane laugh.

"How does it feel to have the world you once knew turned on it’s head, to see all your dreams rot before your eyes. How does it feel to know everything you thought you knew was nothing more than a LIE!" That when everything when dark I felt something was on my head. What was this? I slowly reach up with one hand over my eye and feel a little hoof over it.

"Pupa?" I asked. What was she doing? why was she hugging my head like this. "It okay daddy please stop yelling, you’re scaring me" I felt like I was just hit with a brick I slowly felt my self drop down to the ground but stay sitting up.

I slowly reached up and took her off my head and got a good look at her. She was crying, I have never seen something so sad or felt this heart broken before. Not again… I don’t want to feel this again. I hug her, I hugged her and didn’t let go. "I’m sorry…"


“Asphyxious!” I looked up when I heard Rex yell I saw just in time and saw that Twilight and her friends were using the Elements Of Harmony. Smart move. "Pupa go with mummy now, this is something I need to face on my own" I felt her hug harder to my chest and rubbed her face in it.


"No I want to stay with you" I could not help but laugh, stupid kid. I stand tall and look at the main six with fire in my eyes. I draw on my own magic as I face them. "You're going down, nothing can stop this rainbow!" I hear Rainbow Dash yell. I could feel myself smiling right now. "I’ll take that bet, now… Hit me with your best shot!" I yell as the last thing I saw was a bright light.



***Gilda pov***



I could not believe it, he really was crazy there was dust everywhere. "Puparium!" The bug Queen screamed as she ran into the dust cloud, well guess I could leave now that the guy I’m working for is now a garden ornament.

"I’ll kill them" I hear the dog Rex say as he draws his sword. "I’m going to kill all six of them!" He yells before running into the dust cloud. I was about to turn away and leave when I hear someone singing.

"Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo. Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo. Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo" Okay that was getting creepy wait who was singing?.


"Making a delivery, bringing it across the sea. Bink’s sake in the hold as we sail through the breeze. Far across the eye can see, the sun is shining merrily. As the birds fly in to the sky as they sing out with glee" I could also hear the little bug humming to the one who singing still no clue who that is.

"Bid adieu to everyone as we sail under the sun. Sailing on from dusk ‘til dawn and singing out as one. Cross the gold and silver waves, changing into water sprays. Sailing out on our journey to the ends of the sea" I could see some of the dust clearing and standing there was the bug queen and Rex as they were staring at something on the floor.

I go over to see what their looking at as whoever that was is still singing. Once I get closer I saw what looks like a hairless ape, with short black hair on it’s head. Not only that but it had these scales running down the spine of it back. As I followed it they went down to a long tail with some kind of scales on it.

Once the dust settled I could see Rainbow Dash and her friends, they looked just as confused as we were at this thing that singing. Then it stop, I gulped as it just sit there that’s when I heard the pipsqueak talk. "Daddy nice and warm"

"What?" I think everyone said that at the same time. The thing slowly lift it’s head up and laughed. "That the best you got? please" I’m not sure what going on or what this thing is. I saw Rex point his sword at it and growled. "Who are you where is Asphyxious" The thing just laughed again and looked up at Rex.

"Come on Rex don’t tell me you can’t put two and two together?" He said. "I am Asphyxious" It said smiling at him.

"NO WAY!" Yelled RD. "What happened he should of been turn to stone or something!?" He laughed again even Pupa was giggling along with him. "Damn this floor is cold wish I wasn’t naked here, hey Rex find me something to wear"

I’m still not sure just what happened, he then looks my way and grins. "Say Gilda do you think you could give Pupa a bath for me?" What, when was I this thing’s babysitter I then looked at the bug queen who was staring at him and was that drool?.

I watch as Chrysalis slowly walks up to the guy and looks him over. She then picks up Pupa with her magic and put her in my arms. "Hey!" I call out as she then picks up the hairless ape thing. "This could be a bad thing" He said as she walks past RD and her friends before saying thank you and they go off into a tunnel.

I looked down at this little troublemaker who then grinned at me and said this. "Mummy and Daddy are having alone time fun, mummy say I get to do that when I am a grown up"

"I’m not giving you a bath" I told her, Then her eyes start to water. "No that won’t work on me, stop it" I swear her eyes were getting bigger. No I will not break from her cute face. Damnit, I sighed and put her on my back as I walk to the bathrooms.

"How did this happen, how did I submit to the whims of a foal" I looked back at RD and her friends, they were still confused as to just what happened. The one thing that got me the most was how much dirt they got over themselves. I sighed and called over.

"If you girls want to get cleaned up the bathrooms are this way" I just kept walking as I heard one of them cheer and run past me. I just rolled my eyes as the rest of Rainbow’s friends walk up to me and then Rex called over. "I guess he was right all along…" He then walks off and tell all the diamond dogs and ponies to get back to work.

"I’m confused what just happened?" Asked Twilight as she and her friends finally start following me. "What did that Diamond dog mean he was right all along?" I really didn’t need this. Then the pink pony who I hated jumped in front of me and was walking backwards.

"I didn’t know you were not so big a meanie, why didn’t you tell us you was good with little foals. Even if she is the foal of a really big meanie like the queen of the changelings" Then next thing I saw was some blue paint hit her right in the face. We both stared at each other until I looked to my back and saw little Pupa who looked really mad, but in a cute way.

"No one say bad things about my mummy!" I got to say this bug got guts, she then hopped down and ran right at the pink mare and rams her little head with a horn that was nothing more than a stump into Pinkies leg. Ya nothing happened Pinkie just stood there as this little bug was hitting her with her little hooves.

"Okay lets all calm down" The cream colored mare with a pink mane said as she fluttered over and picks Pupa up. "I’m sure Pinkie didn’t mean what she said about your mummy" The little bug just looks at her with a frown then slowly start to smile at her. "Really?"

"Really, isn’t that right Pinkie" She said looking at Pinkie, the pink pain looked like she was looking at Pupa for a long time then said. "Welllll, Okay but we have to throw this little changeling a party. A bathroom party!!" Oh no.

"Darlings as much as I would love to stay here and talk but I think somepony said there was a bath down here somewhere and I think we could all use a good cleaning" Said the white unicorn as she walked up to me. "Gilda darling could you please show us the way?"

"Call me darling again and I’ll remove that thing you call a tail…" I deadpanned at her as I started walking. I didn’t need this.


"So let me get this straight you was locked up in some kind of secret dungeon and this Lich guy rescued you and all these ponies?" Said Rainbow Dash as I was trying to get this paint out of my wings.

"Ya where did you think I was all this time?" I asked as I saw some female diamond dogs get in and start to wash them selves to. "I’m still surprised that the diamond dogs have a working water system let alone hot water" Said Twilight as she get splashed by Pinkie Pie who was wearing a swimsuit and goggles.

"Where did she get those?" I asked but RD just rolls her eyes and say. "Don’t ask" So I left it alone when I looked at the little bug she looked like she was having fun. Playing with the two ponies Fluttershy and Rarity.

"So what's with the little changeling… Is she really Asphyxious daughter?" Asked Twilight. I groaned at this really now is she this stupid. "No, she just thinks he is" I say as I work on getting this paint out of my feathers.

"An why would she think that?" Asked Applejack. Really what make them think I care about any of this. So I explain what happened about the Farrows attack on the hive, at least that what Asphyxious thinks. But anyway I then tell them how she feed off of him and that why she think he’s her dad.

"Wait she fed off of him and nothing bad happened, no dizziness, no headaches, nothing?" Said Twilight. I just sighed at this when was I the one to play twenty questions with, I don’t even remember half of what happened. "Not that I can see he acted fine"

"That ain't right, nopony should get away with killin' family no matter what they are" Said Applejack with stubborn look on her face. Rainbow Dash then got this smirk on her face as she said this. "I could of hoofed it better, if it was me I would of kicked all their flanks and made them tell me where their army is" She does little hoof punches out of the water.

"One of those pigs was as big as those warjack Asphyxious made" I said giving her a look. "I could still take them" "They had a cannon on it back" RD looked at me as if I was joking I wasn’t that thing almost took my head off.

"These Farrows are a lot more dangerous than we thought, I should get a report to the princesses as soon as possible!" Said Twilight as she stand in the heated water. "That reminds me what was Chrysalis planning to do with Asphyxious now that he is not a Lich anymore?" Asked Rarity. I really didn’t want to explain this, how do you explain that the Queen of the Changelings has the hots for a creepy undead guy and tries to sleep with him twenty four seven.

"Okay, let me put this in the most simplest way possible. What does a stallion and a mare do to make a foal?" I asked only for the little pipsqueak to answer. "Adult Fun Time like mummy says" I could not stop the blush from my face when Pupa said that. I slowly looked at the little bug as she sit in the water with a smile on her face. All the other girls were blushing to but the diamond dog females that heard this started to laugh.

I must not of realized what she said when she said that the first time. "Ewww" Said Rainbow Dash as she quickly put her head under the water. Applejack just put her hat over her face. Fluttershy put one hoof over her mouth as she blushed red and Rarity was giggling like a little school filly.

I then looked at Twilight and saw a look of horror on her face, oh wow that's actually kind of funny. I lost it when she started to scream, I was laughing so hard I think I pulled something. That was when Pinkie Pie poked her head out of the water and looked at everyone. "Hey why does everypony have red faces?"

"Wait a minute… This could be a golden opportunity on what Changeling reproduction is like with an unknown species" Said Twilight. I and everypony else was giving her weird looks. Wow she’s a little pervert...

Twilight then saw the looks we was all giving her. "What?" She asked. Really how clueless do you have to be to not know what you just sounded like just now. "You want to have Adult Fun Time with mummy and daddy?" Asked Pupa. I just lost it again and laughed so hard I almost fell into the water. The look on her face she was both so red and so horrified by what the little foal said I think she broke her mind.

"I want nothing to do with that witch!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, I was a little shocked she yelled at the little bug. I looked at Pupa and saw she was just sitting there then her eyes started to water. Then she balled her eyes out as she went up to me and hugged me crying in to my chest.

"She hates me!" Pupa sobbed I blinked at the little Changeling. Then looked up at a stund Twilight who looked both shocked and heart broken over what the little filly just said. "What, n-no I don’t I just-" I heard a group of growls from behind me and saw all the female diamond dogs were glaring at the purple unicorn.

"I think you girls should go..." I said calmly not so much as to make them leave more as to stop the diamond dogs from attacking them. When you live with them for a week you pick up on things they like and don’t, like threatening or upsetting a pup.

"We’re really sorry about this" Said Applejack as she start to leave. I then saw RD look conflicted and then say this. "Ya next time we should talk, and maybe it was okay to see you are doing alright" I watched as she fly after her friend AJ, I then saw Fluttershy go up to Pupa and give her a hug.

"I am so sorry that my friend yelled at you like that" Pupa gave her a little nod as the shy mare followed her friends. "If you ever come by ponyville I’ll make you a one of a kind dress, my treat" said Rarity as she run her hoof over Pupa head.

"Thank you" Said Pupa and gave her a teary smile. I then saw Pinkie go up to Pupa and got something out of her mane and then makes a balloon puppet that made Pupa giggle a little. "I’ll also throw you a welcome to ponyville party" Then Pinkie bounces away. The last one to go was Twilight she looked like she didn’t know what to say.


She just hang her head low and walked away. I sighed at this, I really, really didn’t need this. "Aunty Gilda am I a bad pony?" Asked Pupa with teary eyes. I looked down at the little squirt and rub her back to give her some reassurance. "No squirt, you're not a bad pony" She nodded a little and I poke her. "Come on lets go find your mum and dad"
