As the moon rose over the Badlands, a large black creature stood on a mobile platform. She had long green gossamer mane and tail and was as tall as Celestia herself. She had dark sickly green mesmerizing eyes and a small black crown with three green balls. She wore black chitin armor and stood before a large spire with two large doors made of thick stone.

She stared at it as if it would come alive at any moment and attack. Behind her was a small army of tiny black creatures similar to her, but the size of an average pony. They chattered among themselves when the two large doors creaked open.

From within a loud hiss, echoed as two small black armored changelings came running out screaming for their lives. They fell on the ground pulling their helmets off gripping their heads like they were in pain. A large unicorn stallion stomped out on his hind legs with loud metallic kthunk with each step he took. He wore full plate armor and a visor helmet which curved over his muzzle giving it a dome like shape. His armor was layered plate and had bracers and leg guards.

He was dragging a large crystal behind him with his magic and held another black creature in his hooves. As the doors closed behind. The poor thing was being dragged with her face dragging on the ground and hit a large rock along the way. He marched before the larger female changeling, and dropped the poor thing to the ground unceremonious, then taking a knee bowing to the crowned black royal.

His armored armbands hissed as they dissolved into a black mass. He ripped it off revealing his furless scared arm beneath. The changeling mare struggled to stand as she was hauled off by two others into the army of changelings.

"Commander Kayushka, report." the tall mare ordered in a regal scaly voice.

He didn't look up, instead he continued to stare downwards as he spoke loudly. "My Queen, the dark beast has ruined all our defenses. The love reserves are low."

"And our letters to Canterlot?"

"...Uh, ignored your Majesty." Kayushka replied sadly.

"My emissary?"

This time Kayushka growled digging his armored hoof into the ground smashing a small scorpion. "Executed by the ones known as Appleosians from Applealoosa." the one known as Kayushka replied with an angry growl. "Let me take a small strike force, I will end this menace once and for all-"

"NO! You will not!" the one named Chrysalis replied angrily.

"But Chrysalis-"

"YOU'LL ADDRESS ME AS QUEEN OR YOUR MAJESTY!" the queen snarled at him.

All the others cringed at her outburst, but he didn't flinch.

"As for your foolish idea, I plan to take revenge on my own terms. Not yours. Take our troops and defend the homeland." she growled stomping the ground he stood on, cracking it. "Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, my queen. Forgive my bluntness. But what about you?" he asked.

"I'll take the majority of our forces and invade Canterlot." the queen declared. "If they won't hear my cry for help, then they hear my cry for war."

She turned and narrowed her eyes, focusing on a small mountain in the distance. She knew this landmark well, for it was the pinnacle of pony society, Canterlot. She grinned menacingly at it as a voice called out from the chamber behind the closed doors.

Crystals!
