Len panted as she pressed on running through the cave. A glance behind her revealed the tale-tail sign that the the overgrown bugs were still after her. A particularly massive spider ant rolling past its companions and catching up at an unsettling rate. She just barely managed to dodge a shot of string and another shot of fire from another massive spider ant. With exit so close Len just had to make it, so she took a risk. With a decent jump off a stalactite she jumped onto the head of the first massive bug and used it as a launchpad to springboard herself ahead tumbling just outside cave.

She ducked as another shot of web fly over her head before growling at them. “Damn things don’t know when they’re beat.” Her growl soon turned into a sadistic grin and laugh. “I think I’ll fix that for you abominations.” With her grin widening she pulled out her new E-tech pistol and fired red shards into their heads, shards than soon exploded and killed most of the young ones before the biggest spider ant bashed her away. Changing up tactics Len decided to put her magic lessons to good use firing off a ball of fire that exploded heavily against the skull of the first before shooting a large shard of ice at the fire spider ant, freezing that bastard solid. It wouldn't last long but it would at least put him out of the fight for a few seconds, more than she needed honestly. Pulling out a rocket launcher and pumping raw elemental magic into it, she let loose a barrage of fire/slash corrosive rockets into the the , spider knight from the looks of it, disorienting it before pulling a master chief and spring boarding off its head to get behind it and let out another barrage into its soft, exposed, vulnerable abdomen effectively killing it. Its cries of death were like a sweet symphony to Len’s ears.

Being in the air offered little maneuverability, so it was no surprise when she bashed by the flame spider ant and lit on fire. What did surprises her was the ground shaking violently before the ground behind her gave way allowing a certain massive spider ant to rise out of the ground with her knights, the queen herself. One thought crossed Len’s mind as she greeted her teeth through pain of the fire. ‘This is just might hurt.’

The spider ant queen smacked her into the air before a knight tackled her to the ground hard, she could swear by the pain of it all, one of her now broken ribs was now threatening to puncture her lung or heart, either being a bad thing. She growled as her eyes flashed a violent green before she punched a magic infused fist into the mouth of the knight before it spontaneously exploded. A second knight tried to rush her only to be gripped her emerald might and crushed before exploding violently in a fiery and corrosive explosion.

Len picked up a vial of red liquid and injected herself, she roared in pain as her ribs reset themselves and her punctured lung patched itself back together, good as new. She panted as she struggled to stand. Looking at her HUD, she could see Deathtrap had finally recharged. Quickly she released her robot of death upon the monsters and let him get to work. She grinned in satisfaction as three knights screamed in agony as they were lit on fire and died. The queen seemed to look to be trying to escape, ‘nope.’

“Hey, where you going?! The party isn’t over just yet your majesty!” Her sadistic grin returned in full as she pulled out an old favorite, a torque shotgun, and fired off the explosive ice rounds into the queen's abdomen. Her scream elicited a purr of pleasure from Len before she took another shot blowing off one of the slowed queens back leg. One could honestly not tell the difference between a wild monster and Len at the moment as she charged ahead blowing off another two legs. With Deathtrap dealing with the others she took her sweet precious time beating the queen to death with her metal fist. She took great pleasure in the feel of her fist finally bashing through her tough head exoskeleton and into its skull. With an almost feral predatory grin, Len turned her gaze onto the remaining knights and elemental spider ants, even spying a few badass spider ants. A chill seemed to wash over them as she did so, a few actually shaking and running off into the cave with no intentions of coming back out till she was gone.

“So...” her gaze washed over the few brave ants, “whose next?” A knight in the back released its excrement onto the ground to Len’s satisfaction. With her blood thirst growing with every passing second, she charged into the group with a loud war cry, Deathtrap following his master’s example and charging headlong into the battle.

...

“And that's why that spider ant head has a hole in it.” Said a cheery Len as she two pegasus guards paused as they finished hanging the massive trophy above the fireplace in said human’s room. Luna and Celestia both looked on in amazement, wonder, and a bit of fear, or in Luna’s case, something far more entertaining.

“Will... will you marry me?”

“What?!” Luna quickly realized she had spoken out load and froze in fear now.

“Well, I was kind of think me, what with her being a madly in love changeling Queen and all, I’d propose to Blood on our on our two month anniversary, but I don’t see why I can't have you both.” Len tapped her chin in thought before smiling warmly. “Yes, I will, I shall have you a ring in three to four days. Sound good?” Her smile slowly faltered as she noticed Luna wasn’t speaking, hell, she wasn't even breathing. “Um, Luna? You alright there sugarcube?” Getting no reply, Celestia poked her sister worried for her health. Luna responded by slowly falling over like some kind of statue.

“... I think she agrees to your terms.” Celestia said absently as she gazed down upon her love struck sister statue. “I’m reasonably certain that she’ll be fine in a few minutes... I hope.”

Len giggled, something she had been doing increasingly around her friends. At first she had paled every time she caught herself, but now she didn’t even pay it much attention, hell, she thought her giggle was so damn cute she’d fuck herself if her male and female half ever separated.

“I’m sure she’ll be fine your Tia, Lu is a strong one.” Her smile quickly faded as she got back to the discussion form before she began her epic tale. “besides, we have much more important matters to attend to, such as this recent reports from our spies in the gryphonia saying that Jax has killed the king and taken over the empire. Not to mention the fact that she is amassing more power with each passing day at an alarming rate and will soon be making a strike against Equestria, a final play to win this war and probably kill you and your sister.” Celestia got serious as well as she looked over the reports again.

“Yes, its unsettling to think of how this might all turn out. From these reports I’d say we have about another two months before she finally has enough power to rival both I and my sister.”

Len frowned as she looked over another report for a third time. “And what about this rumor that she is possessed by a spirit of darkness that seeks to bring about eternal knight. Think ti could be what cause Lu to change?”

Celestia nodded with anger, her mane briefly bursting into flames. Ever since she Len had warned her about Luna’s possible future, she had taken to making sure to treat her sister far better and spend as much time with her as she could. “Yes, but I’d sooner die than let that...THING take my sister away from me.”

“Yeah, same, I’m not letting that happen to her. We have to save Jax as well, she was a bit of an as that first day, but we barely got to know her before that thing took her from us. She doesn't deserve this, she doesn't deserve to die because some bastard darkness decided to go body snatching. This nightmare is skag bait!” Len slammed her fist into the table for emphasis, cracking the table in half with her rage. WIth as simple spell, Celestia repaired the table... before smashing it to pieces with her bare hooves and fixing it again. She looked visibly more relaxed.

Len groaned in pain as her mouth continued to be sore with pain, though something felt...off in her mouth. She grabbed a silver platter and gasped as she took in the sight of her teeth, her new fangs in particular. Her eyes had also changed it seemed, taking on a more dragonic look while glowing in blue luminescent beauty with trials of circuitry in her irises like some kind of motherboard, energy pulsing and surging through each little individual circuit. The final change she notice was her now robotic looking tongue. Looked like something you’d expect some kind of transformer to have, even pulsing with blue energy between the individual grooves.

“I thought that was normal for you honestly.” Celestia spoke, interrupting Len’s thoughts. “I must admit I rather like these changes.”

Len grinned a little, hearing that honestly calmed her down a bit, and she had to admit she did look more badass. “Well, this is probably a result of my recent research into techno organic tech. Its mutating me a bit it seems.” Len sighed as she prodded a fang with her still fully organic hand and looked to the slowly rising now comfortable yet flustered Luna on the ground with a her cheeks burning in as they were a deep shade of crimson.

“Hey, Lulu, what do you think about the changes.” Len asked opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out, noticing it extended at least three times her normal tongue length before she mentally stopped it. She didn’t really feel like finding out how far it could actuely go, at least not right now. ‘Giggity’.

“Luna only blushed deeper seeing signs that the tongue could go even further. “I’m gonna avoid saying words, words are bad right now.” was her only reply as she stared wide eyed at Len, Celestia couldn’t help but mimic her sister as she too seemed now very hot and bothered as she stared at the abnormally long oral appendage.

“T-that was an accident, I swear.” Len stuttered out nervously as she retracted her tongue. “So,... who's hungry?” Desperate to get the conversation, hell, the whole situation behind them, both princess shot a hoof into the air. Being just as eager as the two royal sisters, Len simply nodded before Celestia lead the way to the dining room, sending a maid to go and collect the others for lunch.

...

Blood beamed with pure joy. She felt sick but couldn't be happier. She knew she would find some juicy info if she spied on Len’s conversation with the princesses, but to find out the human had already planned to propose?! Granted, changelings usually did things much faster, being paired by the end of the first month of their relationship, but no matter, Blood was just so bubbly and happy, she had, as they say, butterflies in her stomach, both literally and figuratively.

She quickly ported out the moment Len and the others had left, going with her alibi of being in the bathroom admiring herself for an hour. “I can’t wait, I just can’t wait. Oh thank the great high mother Ashvatha herself, this the happiest day of my life thus far!”

Blood happily skipped out of the bathroom, not even caring enough to put her disguise back on as she bounced through the halls, her happiness was so infectious guards and servants alike didn’t even fear the sight of her, being swept up in her powerful emotions and actually smiling and waving. Some even looked envious knowing a mare in a happy really great relationship when they saw one. This was only just the beginning, soon she’d be giving Len the good news, though she had been feeling rather nervous, terrified even, she now felt as if life couldn’t get any better and today was the best time to do it, the best time to tell Len she was pregnant with their brood and would be setting up their new hive very soon. Literally nothing short of Len dying could bring her down now.
