"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The screams echoed off the buildings of the city as its inhabitants looked up in horror at the massive being looking down at them. It had black, dragon like wings. Its light blue snake like eyes looked down hungrily at them. Its mouth opened wide showing off its giant sharp fangs. Showing them a black abyss that could easily fit a good chunk of the population in it only to be swallowed down the giant's gullet to make room for the rest of the city's population.

"What are you doing there?" I ask as a pick up the baby that had been sucking on the tank holding the shrunken changeling. Must have been terrifying for them being the size of bugs. "Looks like the eggs hatched while I was partying." I say as I look down at the kid in my paws. Aside from the wings and eyes she looked just like any baby changeling. I was fascinated at the differences considering all changelings in this world are female and get their seeds from those they fool and they've always stayed changelings before. Stronger genes just meant stronger changelings. Asphyxias must have strong DNA to result in these changes. At least the dragon in him must. With a smile I put the baby on my back and walked over to the area I set up for the young changelings. What I saw when I got there made me groan. Obviously this is their first clutch as they are all running around in a panic trying to get the children under control. Suddenly my vision is blocked by a naked black butt being shoved in my face making me scramble back to get away.

"Fire comes out of both ends!" The changeling holding the baby cried out in panic. Looking again I see the baby was wearing a diaper it just had a burnt hole in the bottom. To further the point the baby let out a tiny toot shooting out a burst of flame like a flame thrower. I suddenly became very concerned about the fact that one of these kids was sitting on me. I quickly but carefully lifted the child off my back and set her down on the ground so not to set me on fire. I had already learned from past experience that despite the fact that Kitsune were known for their affinity with fire I was not fireproof with the exception of my own foxfire. And I have no desire to regrow my fur again.

"That has the potential to be very messy." I say as I use inspiration manifestation to create a new diaper and quickly woven the same enchantments that were created for Celestia's and Luna's old diapers. Those things could handle anything those kids could dish out. With quick and efficient movements the kid was in the new diaper. When I lifted the kid up the diaper gave a flash and all that happened was the diaper inflating slightly before shrinking back down as the air was leaked out. "There, fireproof. Here you take care of her while I make more." I say as I paw the kid over to the now calmed changeling.

Five minutes later.

"Wow I'm out of practice." I say as I look down at the babies. "I can't believe it took me five minutes to make a few hundred magic diapers, gather all the children using cartoonish illusions as bait, change them, calm them down and lay them down for naptime."

"H-how?!" One of my changelings whisper/shouted as she gestured to the sleeping babies. The others were just staring at the kids with their mouths hanging open.

"Compared to two all powerful god-babies two hundred dragon, changeling hybrid babies are a cake walk." I say with a dismissive wave of my paw. Actually it was easy because they had already tired themselves out running around all over the place. But if I tell them that I would look less amazing. "You know that's not a bad idea actually." I say as I look down at one of the sleeping babies. "I did party pretty hard." I walk out of the room. Using my tails to close each mouth as I pass them.

"Oh by the way. How long was I gone and did I miss anything besides the babies hatching?" I asked before leaving the room but they all just kept staring at the sleeping children in disbelief. With a sigh I pick one up with a tail and brought her around to face me nose touching nose. "How long was I gone and what did I miss?" I repeated. She blinked her confusion and started talking as I walked out of the room carrying her as I moved.

"W-well you've been gone for a few days now. Almost a week. Not much has happened in the time you've been gone. Octavia is out practicing with her ensemble with two black knights for protection. The one griffin black knight and one of the minotaurs. The one that we thought was a guy until she punched one of the dragons lights out for calling her a guy. Miss Vinyl brought miss Pinkie Pie to the library to help make schematics for new traps. Claw is out hunting again. Mr. Freeze got his metal body dinged up again answering the call of that displaced Twilight. The nightmare got stir-crazy and started pranking everyone. Swift has been making some progress teaching the toy Pinkies how to fight by turning their training into a game. Table Top has finished gathering all the dead things in the Everfree that the imps marked as too big for them. We were also out of those gourds that were turned into containers for the potions lab because Berry Punch filled them all up with different alcoholic drinks but when that happened she stopped making drinks and single hoofedly emptied them all again so that passed. But miss Punch did put in a request for more gourds so she could produce more concoctions. That shadow wolf thing you got from another world has been...reproducing. I think. In a strange way to. She eats a lot of chickens and then a smaller shadow wolf gets regurgitated up. It's quite disgusting. It also appears she has a limit because she was unable to make more after she created ten. She seemed upset about that fact." The changeling's muzzle scrunches up in thought. "I think that's everything that's happened... Oh and princess Celestia and princess Luna have been informed of your leaving when they came looking for you." She said getting a nod from me.

"Thank you." I say with an appreciative nod as I stopped to pat the changeling's head. "I was going to take a nap but if I've been gone a few days I should at least give my pets some attention first." I say aloud to myself as I change direction. I should check the war room map to see how the Goodly Hero search is coming but that can wait until after sleepy time.

"Um, princess? Can you put me down now?" She asked from the clutches of my tails.

"I can." I reply in a matter of fact tone as I kept walking but not putting her down. She just hung there looking at me with a look that said she wanted to tell me to put her down but she wasn't sure it was the best idea. "Would you like to be put down?" I ask her getting a nod from the changeling. I conjure up a plushie of me and a blanket and before she could react quickly shove the toy into her forelegs and tightly bound the changeling in the blanket before using my hand to pick her up and set her down on the squishy floor of the babies playroom where the babies were taking their nap. Looking around in confusion for a moment before she just shrugged and went with it. Laying her head down for a much needed nap time.

As I was coming over to the playroom where I kept my first pet I started to hear music that came from no particular location which meant that it was the magic of the world giving someone a montage I hadn't heard in over a thousand years. With a smile I slowly open the door to my play room and tip paw my way over to Mr. Nibble's cage. The music clear now. As it played I looked in and saw Mr. Nibbles running on his hamster wheel while carrying stacks of kibble from his food dish on his shoulders to act as weights. I could see that he had gained some muscle that he actually earned instead of gained by stealing magic.

Mr. Nibbles look of determination quickly turns into one of surprise as he quickly turns to look at me. My conjuring a sports coach getup and a towel, the later I was using to fan him, had grabbed his attention. He scowled at me and started pushing himself harder. I smile down at him and grabbed his water bottle from the side of the cage and held it close to him. He scowled harder at this but leaned over and licked at the tip to drink. I sat and waited until the music stopped before reaching into the cage and picking him up in my paws.

"Alright let's not wear ourselves out too much. It's time to play now that I'm back from my trip. I'm sorry I haven't been giving you any attention the past few days but I was gone longer than I thought." I say as I hold him in one leg and use my free paw to pet him.

"No it was quite alright. In fact feel free to go on long trips and leave me be as much as you like. I hear the frozen wastelands to the far north are nice this time of year." Mr. Nibbles said snidely as he tried to push my paw away but he was helpless in my clutches and sighed in defeat at when I started scratching the back of his neck.

"You're going to love play time in your little hamster ball." I say ignoring his words. "After being separated from your owner for so long a play date with us is just what the doctor ordered." He tensed at those words and looked up at me in horror.

"You don't mean...No! Not another play date with Sasha! That dog is far too big! Even in the safety of that ball the last time she rolled over and I got stuck in the gap between two of her necks! Do you have any idea how nauseating it was being tossed around while that mutt ran around?! Or even worse the time before that when I got stuck between the gums and inner lip of one of her heads for several hours!" He complained.

"That's right and we'll even play outside to make up for the lost time." I say ,completely ignoring his shouting as I slip him into his hamster ball and sealed him in.

"Outside?" He said with a look on his face that was hopeful and scheming.

"That's right. You get to have some fun in the sun!" I say as I set him on the floor and made a show of picking up a weight in one tail causing his shoulders to slump. I didn't make this enchanted item. I got it in a pet store. The hamster ball can't get too far from it and he can't get out of the ball unless I let him out. This way small furry friends can be brought on picnics and allowed to run around without getting lost or eaten. I turned and walked out of the room forcing Mr. Nibbles to run after me unless he wants to go for a spin when the distance between the ball and anchor reaches its limits.

After a short walk I come to Sasha's area. I look around the stadium sized room before spotting her in her doggy bed. I'm surprised I haven't gotten my normal greeting of being pinned down and bombarded with slobbery puppy kisses so I walk over to her to see what's wrong. Whatever it is it must be the right head as the other two are looking down at her in worry while the right head just lay on the bed with her eyes closed. I don't think it's possible for one head to get sick without the others getting sick as well so she must have done something bad and is paying for it now. Sasha's middle head controls the body while the left head is like the angle on the shoulder. Sweet and loving. Her right head however is a little devil and always thinking of mischief so it's not hard to imagine her sticking her nose into something she shouldn't. When I get right up to her however I can see that she has a smile on her face and her mouth is moving like she's savoring a piece of candy.

"Ok, what do you have in your mouth?" I ask in a deadpan getting the attention of all three heads. The right head gave a weak growl that thanks to my dungeon heart I understood as her saying 'nothing' though her ears fell back against her head like she knew she was in trouble.

"Is somepony out there? Please save Trixie! It's horrible in here!" Trixie's muffled voice shouted out from inside Sasha's right head. I glared daggers at the right head causing her to give me the puppy eyes in hopes that it would spare her punishment. She spoke by giving a whimpering sound.

"No it doesn't matter how tasty she is or that you wouldn't actually eat her! You do not put anything in your mouth unless I say you can. And the only things I say you can put in your mouth whenever you want are the toys I made for you or the chickens that are put in your food dish to eat!" I chastised as I use inspiration manifestation to summon up a giant rolled up newspaper and give her a good bop on the nose. "Now spit her out! I have half a mind not to take you out today!"

Sasha whimpered again but the right head opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue out causing a large buildup of saliva to pour down it like water from a water slide carrying a disheveled Trixie with it. With a grunt Trixie landed in the pool of drool and franticly tried to use her forehooves to stop the rest from pouring out onto her face. When Sasha's right head pulled her tongue back in and closed her mouth Trixie shakily got to her hooves and she looked pissed. She used one hoof to move her wet mane out of her eyes before turning to face the pup. She marched forward causing the strands of saliva to stretch out between her and the floor. Then to our surprise she reached up with her forehooves and pulled the right head's lips apart as if she was trying to get back inside the mouth.

"Give Trixie her hat back!" Trixie demanded as she tried to force the razor sharp teeth apart. Sasha's right head started growling menacingly but Trixie refused to give up.

"Sasha." I say in a warning tone. "Give Trixie her hat back." Slowly the jaws opened and without batting an eye Trixie stuck her head inside the mouth and looked around for a moment before pulling back out with her magician's hat in her magical grasp. She moved to put it back on but stopped and took the time to look inside before turning it over and dumping the drool out which carried with it a now soaked deck of cards, some cloth, a half eaten carrot and one very unhappy looking bunny rabbit who hopped over to Trixie, jumped up on her muzzle and bitch slapped her before hopping off. Trixie just stood there in wide eyed shock before her face turned to a look of annoyance. Trixie then took in a shaky breath before exhaling and put her hat back on. She marched over to me and looked me straight in the eye.

"Trixie wants a raise." Trixie said flatly.

"Oh?" I say as I give her a raised eyebrow. "So you want to take full charge of doggy sitting duties?" I asked getting a shocked look from her. "The job rotates right now so if I give you a raise I'll need to give everyone a raise unless you're taking the job on by yourself." Trixie's mouth opened and closed for a bit before she looked down in thought.

"How much of a raise?" Trixie asked.

"Ten extra bits each payday." I answer getting a snort from Trixie.

"Thirty-five bits!" Trixie countered.

"Ten bits!"

"Thirty bits!"

"Ten bits!"

"Twenty-five bits!"

"Ten bits!"

"Trixie doesn't believe you understand how haggling works." Trixie said in annoyance.

"Oh I understand. I'm actually very good at it. It's just one of those things that comes easily with being a trickster." I reply with a smug smile. Trixie gave me a level stare before trying again.

"Ten bits and Trixie want's more magic lessons and some trickster lessons!" She demands and I make a thinking face.

"How far are you with the elemental puppets? And how much has the magic building exercises I gave you built up your reserves?" I ask.

"The last time Trixie checked her reserves were at two hundred and eighty two and as for the puppets." Trixie said before her horn lit up and the dirt rose up into the shape and size of three fully grown ponies that broke into dance. Looking over I saw that Trixie was struggling greatly but it was more than enough to move on to the next stage.

"Deal!" I grab her hoof in my paws and shake it. "But for right now I'm taking my pets out. You're welcome to join us."

"Thanks but no thanks. The great and powerful Trixie needs a great and powerful bath!" Trixie declared in a tone that sounded like she was talking about a powerful monster she had defeated before disappearing in a poof of smoke. Looks like she has that invisibility spell down. Though those hoof prints that keep appearing in the dirt moving towards the exit is a giveaway.

Getting back on track I use my magic to take the giant leash from its hook on the wall way up out of Sasha's reach and attached each of the split sections to each collar and created a portal. I then use my hand to grab Unyielding because my guards get pissy when I go out without at least one of them to protect me.

Canterlot garden.

I came out of the portal to panicked screaming and ponies running around. I looked around in confusion and Sasha looked around in excitement. All three heads barking happily which I hear as them talking about all the new things to smell and mark. I had to use my magic to hold on to the leash so not to be dragged around as she fought to run off and play with the ponies. I could hear high pitched maniacal laughter as Mr. Nibbles reviled in the ponies panic until one pony ran by and accidentally kicked his ball into the crowed before he was kicked again and again and again until I felt the anchor I was holding in my tails tug a bit. The hamster ball stopped mid flight causing him to crash into the side of the ball before face planting on the ground. He then stood up and I could now hear his high pitched screams though just barely over the crowed. As he frantically ran around in circles in an attempt to avoid the hooves around him.

At first I thought they were scared of Sasha but they aren't trying to avoid her and they're all looking up. I look up to see what all the fuss is about and I see a dire bat flying around up there with several pegasus guards trying to catch it. It's hard to tell due to distance but based on the size difference to the guard that just tried to land on its back it's a big one. Around fifteen feet maybe?

"What's a dire bat doing out here in the daytime anyways?" I ask no one in particular.

"I don't know my princess but please stay close." Unyielding said as she drew her sword and stood in front of me. I just continued to look up at the giant bat before coming to a decision.

"I want it." I say matter of factly.

"My lady?" Unyielding asked as she turned to look at me.

"It will make a great mount. It just needs some training and some sunglasses... well, sun goggles." I say before sending a command to one of my minions through the link and I could feel the excitement radiating back. I wait a few moments for him to get ready before making him a portal. Crocodile flew out with a pack full of supplies. He has been very happy working for me as my animal trainer and the thought of adding a new monster to train has got him hopping on air. I didn't even need to give an order he locked onto the bat right away and shot after it while giving out some less than masculine giggles.

"One side ponies let a real professional handle this!" Crocodile called out as he flew in. Several guards moved to block his path before he continued. "By order of princess Rin!" At those words they looked down and at seeing a princess on the ground they let him pass. Moving in Crocodile pulled out his tranq gun He quickly loaded a dart into the hole of the bamboo barrel and quickly started pumping to build up the air pressure. Taking aim he fired and managed to shoot it in its ear. The bat gave out an angry screech and turned to the griffin and with a mighty flap of its wings it shot right at Crocodile who was cursing at his bad aim and taking off as he searched his pack for something else.

"Here's hoping that drunk knows what she's doing." Crocodile grumbled as he pulled out the bang grenade. Pulling the pin which caused sparks to fly out from a now lit fuse before tossing it behind him before it went off with a very loud BANG. The bat screeched as the loud noise confused its radar giving Crocodile time to reload and start pumping. The dire bat screeched in rage as it regained its focus and started flying after Crocodile again. Crocodile pumped faster. As the bat moved in to catch the griffin Crocodile folded his wings in and turned around and aimed his gun at the bat while in free fall. When the bat got closer it moved to catch the griffin out of the air and with the rushing sound of the air being released the dart flew and got a clean hit in the bat's jugular. Turning around Crocodile squawked when he saw how close to the ground he was. He shot his wings open to stop himself from crashing but that slowed him enough for the bat to catch him with its feet.

With its prey captured the bat tried to stop itself from crashing like the griffin did but at that. moment the tranquilizer kicked in and it grew weak as sleep started to claim him. It's eyes drooped as it came closer to the ground. Before it could crash however it and the griffin were ensnared in a green aura and was slowed to a stop before gently being placed on the ground. The bat struggled weakly as it got harder to stay awake.

"Shhhhhh, it's ok. No one is going to hurt you. You're going to be well taken care of." A fox said as she started petting him. "I'm going to call you...Echo." That was the last thing Echo heard before darkness overtook him.

I look down at my new mount as guards made a perimeter around us. Crocodile grunted as he crawled out from under the bat and looked down at the dire bat with excitement.

"He's a feisty one! You and me are going to be good friends." He said to the bat as he put his gun away. My attention however was drawn by a pegasus guard as he flew down to meet me.

"Your majesty! Princess Celestia wants to see you immediately!" The guard said in a tone that implied it was urgent. I frown but create a portal and carefully placed my new mount inside and using my hand to snatch up Swift and bring her to the portal and drop her in so I can have both my guards.

"Take care of the bat and get Mr. Nibbles back to his cage. Poor guy wore himself out running around." I told Crocodile once the portal was clear and giving him the anchor for Mr. Nibbles ball. I'll keep Sasha with me for now.” I say getting a nod from the griffin before he jumped into the portal dragging a very upset miniature supervillain with him. After it was clear I close the portal and create a new one to take me to the throne room. "Alright let's see what the emergency is."

Author's Notes:

This chapter was going somewhere honest but it got too long on its own so next chapter. And yes I put a limit to the number of minions Wraith can spawn so she won't be op. It grows as she levels up but not too much.
