Looking down at the cocoon, Crystal found that Rainbow's fur had turned shiny and black, a jet-black horn jutted from her head with electric blue spiralling around it. Her hooves had a few small holes in them but the only thing that was relatively unchanged was her mane and tail, even if they had a slight green tinge to them.

“She wasn’t strong enough to get out of the cocoon.” Crystal stated, kneeling down next to Dash.

“Nope~!” Freya kneeled down, tearing the cocoon open with her horn, releasing the new changeling.

When it opened, Dash’s eyes snapped open and rose up, shaking her head. “Ugh. What happened?” Dash asked, rubbing her face. Feeling something on her head, she felt it around with her hand. “I have a horn. I must have converted into a changeling.” Rainbow said softly, looking at the three of them.

“What? You're not going to freak out?” Jason asked, raising his eyebrow.

“Why would I? I freaked out already after you all left. I guess I sort of accepted it after tiring from trying to break free.” Dash said simply, shrugging. She stretched and heard a few cracks. Feeling something fluttering on her back, she tried to feel around and found it to be membranous wings.

“Wings? Wings!? I have wings!?” Dash asked in a slight panic.

“This you freak out over?” Crystal asked in disbelief.

“You don’t get it. My wings were amputated. I didn’t think the conversion would affect that! The nerves were shot, so I had to go with having nubs. I didn’t think the wings part of being a changeling would come into play because of that.” Dash explained, her new wings fluttering haphazardly all the while.

“Nice...” Freya smiled, walking around Dash. “You made an excellent drone!”

“A … drone?” Dash asked with a straight face, trying to get used to having wings again. “Why would I be a drone?”

“What? You think you’d turn into a queen?” Freya scoffed, “Your ego never changes.”

“I thought of that, but I also thought I’d turn into a changeling like you.” Dash confessed, standing up and rolling her shoulders, wincing at the itchiness her wings provided.

“You are like me except I am a queen and you are a drone, my drone.” Freya smirked, looking her over.

“Well that’s just great.” Dash said sarcastically, folding her arms over her chest. “I’m not sure how to feel about that.”

“It doesn’t matter how you feel, what matter is you are mine now.” Freya crossed her arms smirking.

“Twilight is going to be pissed.” Jason sighed, running a hand down his face.

“I wonder how Twilight and the others will react to Dash being a changeling. It most likely won’t be pretty.” Crystal said with a frown, tapping her foot impatiently.

“How do you think I’m yours? Because you converted me?” Dash asked Freya, raising an eyebrow.

“Because I can do this.” She smirked and suddenly Dash was standing at attention.

“What is this? Why can’t I move?” Dash asked, trying in vain to move her fingers to no avail.

“You hear that voice in your head?” Freya asked, tapping Dash’s head. “That's my voice. You are now connected to me via a hivemind and you will do whatever I command you to do, when I command you to do it.”

Dash winced as she heard Freya speak in her mind. “This must be how Chrysalis commanded her army,” she commented.

“Well of course, duh.” Freya commented back.

“I don’t get a say in what you make me do, do I?” Dash asked for confirmation, trying to move her arm but found that Freya still had a hold on her. “I don’t like this one bit,” she growled.

“Changeling hierarchy is confusing.” Crystal mumbled, holding her head to try and make sense of all this.

“You don’t have to like it.” Freya shrugged. “Now dance!”

Dash heard the command and instantly found herself dancing to some tune only she could hear.

“This is so humiliating.” Dash grumbled. Crystal found herself trying to hold back laughter as she witnessed Dash’s crazy dance moves.

“Well maybe you should think twice about attacking people hmm?” She asked, a smirk of amusement on her face.

“I definitely will if that will make me stop dancing.” Dash answered with a snort.

“Nope!”

“Oh come on! What do you want from me then? An apology? Actually think about why I attacked you?” Dash asked, only feeling slightly desperate.

“No I want you to keep moving that sexy body of yours.” She smirked, licking her lips.

“What?” Dash asked in astonishment.

“You heard me!”

Dash only grumbled and began to move her body more sexily than before.

“Alright, alright, that's enough.” Jason cleared his throat. “Dash, do you want to stay a changeling or go back to being...whatever the hell you were before?”

“I’ll stay as a changeling. If only to keep the wings.” Dash answered confidently.

“I’m pretty sure you’d at least get your old wings back if I change you back.”

“You can do that?” Dash asked, eyes widening. “I just don’t want to risk it though, in case it doesn’t work.”

“It’ll be fine, now do you want to go back or not?”

Dash thought about it for a bit and shook her head. “No, I’ll stay as a changeling. There could be other benefits to being a changeling anyway.”

“Oh, one other thing I should mention.” Freya cleared her throat. “All drones are asexual.”

“They are?” Dash asked in surprise. “So I won’t be able to love someone?”

“Nope, and you’ll never have children, those organs are gone.” She sighed. “You really, really shouldn’t stay like this.”

“If you change me back, will I have wings?” Dash asked immediately, not liking the sound of being a changeling anymore.

“Yes I’m sure.” He rolled his eyes. “Unless you want to try and become a queen...though I have no idea how you’d even do that.”

“Change me back then, please.” Dash said with conviction, having finally made up her mind about it.

“Omnitrix, repair genetic damage.” Jason held his arm out, the Omnitrix let out a green energy pulse, hitting Dash. Her exoskeleton burned off, revealing her original form.

“Thank you.” Dash said, giving a quick feel around her back to find that her wings were there. “My wings are here too. What was that green beam?” Dash asked, flexing her wings a bit and scratching her cheek.

“It was the watch fixing your DNA.” Jason turned, looking to the forest. “Now come on, we have things to do.”

“Right.” Crystal said and rubbed the back of her neck. She gave Dash a smile and followed Jason, sticking close to Freya.

“You going to the Everfree? Why?” Dash asked before they got out of earshot.

“To train!” Jason shouted back.

A few months have gone by and during that time, Jason and Freya both trained Crystal. Having had her butt handed to her multiple times, Crystal figured that a few dozen more wouldn’t hurt. She has definitely felt herself get stronger every time they trained, even if it was only bit by bit. The three of them were currently sitting up in the library in the Castle of the Two Sisters.

“Come on, you ready to train some more today?” Crystal asked them.

“Actually, it might be time for us to go.” Jason got up from his chair, stretching himself out. “I mean, Hodgepodge did the math, a few months here is what? A week or two home? We really can’t stay too much longer.”

“Awww. Okay. I didn’t think you would stay this long though. A couple of weeks, maybe a month, tops.” Crystal frowned but immediately smiled as she got up from her chair. “Thank you for training me though. It’s been really fun.” She added, giving the both of them a smile. “How do I send you back?”

“We don’t have to leave right now...” Freya moved over, pulling Crystal into a deep kiss.

“You don’t? The way Jason said it made it sound like you did.” Crystal said, kissing Freya just as deeply.

Jason sighed, heading to the door. “Come find me in Ponyville when you’re done.”

“Yup, got it.” Crystal said as she blushed profusely and gave Jason a sheepish smile. She then wrapped her arms around Freya when she heard the door close, smiling up at her. “We’re all alone now, aren’t we?” She asked, giving Freya a quick kiss.

“That we are...” she smiled, licking Crystal’s lips. Crystal caught Freya’s tongue with her lips, suckling on it a bit before going in for another kiss.

“Crystal?” Freya asked, pulling back a bit.

“Yeah? What?” Crystal replied curiously.

“Sorry about this!” She gave a sheepish smile before casting Sleep on her. Not having any time to react, Crystal’s eyes closed and she slumped towards the floor, instantly falling asleep as the spell took effect.

Opening her eyes, Crystal yawned and blinked, looking around the room from where she was lying on the floor. Loud screams and explosions filled the air, the ground shaking. Hearing this, Crystal shakily got up and slowly walked to the door, trying to balance herself on the shaking ground. Walking through it, she got her balance right and began running full pelt to where she believed everything originated from. Getting outside the castle, Crystal looked around frantically and found a plume of smoke rising from somewhere nearby. Recognising the direction, she huffed and ran as fast as she could towards Ponyville, the screams and explosions only getting louder the nearer she got.

“Why is this even happening?” Crystal asked herself as she got closer, racing past the forest limits to try and figure out what the heck was causing this.

“Someone help!” Twilight shouted running out of her library, which was on fire.

Crystal made her way over to Twilight and grabbed her by the arms. “Twilight, what happened here?” She asked roughly, looking at the tree house. Concentrating, she let go of her and walked up, breathing in the fire and toxic fumes until there was nothing left to make the tree burn. “I’ll ask again. What happened?”

“H-he went insane!” she cried, “H-he’s killing everyone!”

“What? Who went insane?” Crystal asked, trying to get a bit more information out of her before trying to help any others. “You don’t mean Jason, do you?” Crystal asked nervously.

“H-”There was a sickening cracking sound and she fell limp against her, a large piece of blue diamond sticking out of the back of her head.

“A diamond?” Crystal asked, looking at the direction the diamond must have come from. Recognising its colour, her eyes widened in fear as she realised that it belonged to Jason. “Oh no.” She muttered to herself. Looking at the direction again, Crystal took off that way, hoping to catch up to him.

Rarity’s scream pierced the air, spurring Crystal on. Quickly running to her, she tried to comfort her but at the same time, kept her eyes peeled for any rogue diamonds. Taking a quick look around at the fires, Crystal left Rarity for a moment to try and absorb the flames so that they won’t get any further out of control.

“Come on, Diamondhead. Where are you?” Crystal muttered after having absorbed the flames and made sure Rarity was fine before taking off in a random direction.

“S-someone help!” Dash shouted, drawing Crystal’s attention. She watched in horror as Jason brought his foot down on her head, crushing it.

Filled with rage at him killing her friends, Crystal covered herself in a thick layer of black crystal. She charged at him, ignoring the gory remains of Dash’s head as she went to punch him. He caught her wrist, punching her in the stomach before tossing her away.

Crystal grunted and screamed as she was tossed away. Smashing into a building, she coughed and wiped her mouth, standing up. The layer of crystal on her was completely obliterated near her stomach and chipped away from when she landed in the building. Shaking her head, Crystal snorted and filled her hands with flames. Running towards him, she shouted something and combined both hands, clapping a massive fireball towards him. She then sent a small flurry of crystals after the fireball in case he managed to block it. He rolled out of the way, sending a shockwave of ice spikes at her.

Gritting her teeth, Crystal lit herself on fire and to the fires she absorbed earlier, turned the temperature up to such a degree that she left scorch marks wherever her feet touched the ground. Sidestepping the spikes in front of her, she then jumped above the second set and touched down, sending a shockwave of blistering flames his way with large shards of crystal mixed in.

He slid back a bit before changing into Four Arms, rushing at her. He threw two punches at her, using his other arms to try and grab her.

Crystal gasped as he punched her and dodged one of the arms before feeling him grab her with his second arm. Clasping her hands together, she gritted her teeth and formed a crystal spike between her hands. She then went and slammed the spike down onto the hand that held her.

He grunted in pain before tossing her into a building, cracking his neck.

Crystal gasped in pain as she felt a building crash around her. Coughing a bit of blood, Crystal glared at Four Arms and lit one hand on fire, while covering the other in crystal. Placing the fire in the crystal, she then wrapped it up in even more crystal before running up to him and chucking the crystal fireball at the four-armed monster. He brought his arms together in an attempt to block it, only to be sent through a building and tumbling into town hall.

She gave a savage grin at her small victory and ran after him, covering herself in crystal as she did. Igniting her hands, Crystal fired off a few fireballs at him as she slowed down to try and catch her breath and saw the fireballs careen wildly away from him. Once she got her breath back, she walked up to him and leaned down over him.

“Why did you go insane?” Crystal asked gruffly.

He started to laugh, looking up at her. “I didn’t.”

“What?” Crystal asked through gritted teeth. “What do you mean you didn’t?”

He got up, brushing himself off. “It was all just a test Crystal.”

“Just a test!? I saw you crush Dash’s skull beneath your foot! I saw Twilight get impaled by a diamond! I helped stop fires around the town!” Crystal cried, waving her arm at the destruction and looking up at him with tears gathering in the corners of her eyes...except it was all fixed. There was no destruction and everyone seemed fine. Crystal took another angry look around and found that it was all fixed. No destruction anywhere.

“Wh-what? But … there was …” Crystal trailed off as she wiped her eyes. “How and why? Why did you make me believe you went insane and killed two of my friends?” Crystal asked, ineffectively trying to push him backwards.

“I needed to test you.” He looked down at her. “I needed to know what kind of person you really are.”

“And the verdict was?” Crystal asked with slight anger in her voice as she closed her eyes and exhaled.

“You passed with flying colors.” He smiled, patting her shoulder. “Now come on, let's go to Sugarcube Corner and get you some food.”

“That’s … good.” Crystal said as she sighed in relief, letting the last of her anger go. Turning around, she then began to walk to the bakery. “I passed with flying colours. Did anyone here see what we did?”

“Everyone in town saw.”

“Oh.” Crystal said in a small voice, suddenly feeling self-conscious about herself. “Were they hurt in any way?” She asked, hoping no one was actually hurt. “Was Freya in on this as well?” Crystal continued suspiciously.

“No Crystal, no one was hurt.” Jason rolled his eyes. “If if makes you feel any better the guy who trained me did the same thing.”

“He - oh.” Crystal stammered. “At least the town is fine. How did you make me think it was all real though?”

“Because I can cast illusions.” He smiled sadly. “You know...Freya’s going to miss you...”

“She is?” Crystal asked, her mood turning slightly gloomy. “I didn’t think she would.” Crystal added softly.

“Why wouldn’t she? You two have been close this whole time.” Jason slapped Crystal upside the head. “Yggdrasil you’re dense.”

“I may be dense but I thought she wouldn’t because of what she said about changeling drones being asexual and I have no idea if Freya is a drone or a queen.” Crystal replied, rubbing the sore spot on her head.

“You don’t pay attention at all do you? Of course Freya is a queen, otherwise Dash wouldn’t have obeyed her.”

“Yeah, well changeling ranking is confusing to me. I’ll going to miss Freya as well.” Crystal said with a soft sigh and found that Sugarcube Corner was just up ahead.

“That's why...I’m giving you two one last night together. Don’t make me regret it got that?” He asked, moving into the building, leaving Crystal on her own.

“Yup, got it.” Crystal replied as her face lit up. She then followed him inside, hoping to actually get something to eat.

“Hey.” Freya slipped in behind her, kissing her neck. “You did good.” She wrapped her arms around her waist, hugging her close.

“Hi. Thanks for that.” Crystal said with a smile, leaning backwards into Freya. “You put me to sleep because of the test, didn’t you?” she stated, knowing it to be true.

“Yeah...sorry about that...” she dragged Crystal to an unoccupied corner of the room, the table already set with food.

“Oh well. At least nothing bad actually happened.” Crystal shrugged, sitting down at the table. “It’s fine though. You’ve apologised twice so I think that’s enough apologising.”

“I made sure to order all your favorites!” Freya smiled, gesturing to the food.

“Oh! Thank you. But what about you though?” Crystal asked, enthusiastically digging in. “Are you going to eat?”

“I’m saving my appetite.” She winked, licking her lips.

Crystal blushed, instantly knowing what she meant by that. “Fair enough,” she said with a shrug.

“But take your time and enjoy your meal, I can wait.”

Crystal did just that, managing to finish the meal in about an hour. While she did, they both talked about anything that popped into their heads.

“You know...my mother has been pressuring me to start my own hive.” Freya nuzzled Crystal, who had been moved into the changeling’s lap.

“She has? Why is that?” Crystal asked, nuzzling back.

“My sister Sif is going to inherit my mother’s hive and Heimdall will be leaving to go off on his own soon. Can’t have too many queens in one hive, even if they are related, that's how assassinations start.”

“Ah, got it. And you’re thinking about starting one with me?” Crystal asked, looking at her
curiously.

“Well...yes...” she leaned down, nibbling on her ear.

“I … like the sound of that, actually.” Crystal replied, biting on her bottom lip as she thought through it.

“R-really?” she asked, looking at her in genuine surprise.

“Yeah, really. I mean, it’ll be different, and new, and exciting but if it’s with you then I’m happy to do it.” Crystal answered with a nod and a smile.

“Oh! You make me so happy!” she purred, hugging her lover tightly.

“Freya, a bit too tight!” Crystal gasped as she swore she felt her lungs get crushed slightly. “I’m happy that you’re happy though,” she rasped, managing to hug her back, even if it was with a lot less strength than she hoped.

“Oh! Sorry.” Freya blushed, loosening her grip on the poor human.

Crystal sucked in some much needed air. “That’s … fine. It was just unexpected, is all. Now, how do we go about making a hive?”

“Well...” She leaned down, breathing hotly on Crystal’s neck. “I could pump you full of eggs...”

Crystal stiffened at that. “Is there any other way? I may as well know all the options.” She said, leaning back a bit to look at Freya.

“Well...you could go back to being male for a bit or we could just convert a whole bunch of people.” She hummed, stroking her hair. Crystal thought the different options over in her mind.

“The eggs sound very appealing …” Crystal mused, looping her hands lazily around Freya’s neck.

“Really?” she asked, giving a laugh.

“What’s so funny? The other two don’t sound like a lot of fun for me.” Crystal said with a shrug and a smile, giggling slightly. “The egg option sounds like it would be a lot more fun than the other two. That’s all.”

She giggled with her, nuzzling her neck. “You're the best you know that?”

“Nope. I may need to hear it more often.” Crystal answered with a smirk, giving Freya a kiss on the cheek. “Do you know how long the eggs will stay in me?”

“Hmm...about three months give or take. They have to incubate.”

“I figured that, I just didn’t know how long.” Crystal said with a shrug. “At least I now know.”

“Honestly...I’ve been thinking about staying...”

“You … what? You’re thinking of staying? Why?” Crystal asked in surprise.

“You silly...” she said, nibbling her ear again.

“Oh! Because of me!” Crystal said with a laugh. “What about your family though?”

“Not like I can’t visit them, I mean, you do have my father’s token.”

“This is true. Hodge probably has a copy of mine anyway.” Crystal replied. “Should we tell Jason about this?”

THIS IS A SLIGHT CLOP SCENE. I’LL MARK OFF WHERE THE STORY RESUMES. DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T LIKE CLOP!!

“We can tell him later...” she licked her neck, her hands sliding under her shirt, grabbing her breasts, giving them a squeeze.

Crystal stiffened under the groping, panting a bit as she tried not to moan. “You do know we’re still in public, right?”

“Oh I know, makes it just that much more exciting huh?” She grinned deviously, tweaking her nipples.

She desperately tried not to moan at the touch. “Maybe just a bit.” Crystal panted, a blush adorning her cheeks. She nervously looked around and thankfully found that no-one was staring at them yet. Keeping her hands looped around Freya, she leaned in and kissed her passionately.

She returned the kiss, groping and squeezing her lover’s breasts, her horn glowing as she sucked in the lust. Breathing through her nose, Crystal continued kissing and moved her hands from around her neck and slid them down until they rested atop of Freya’s breasts. She gave them a gentle squeeze through her shirt, still slightly nervous about the other patrons.

“Come on...you can do better than that...” Freya egged on, keeping one hand at Crystal’s breasts, her other hand slowly making its way down south.

“You want me to do better? Fine.” Crystal replied, moving around so that she was straddling Freya while they still faced each other. She quickly moved her hand under Freya’s shirt, groping one of her breasts while the other one began to move down below, unintentionally mirroring her.

She cooed, licking her cheek. “That's it! Much better!”

“Glad to please.” Crystal smirked, letting out a small moan.

“Now...” Freya nipped at her neck. “Are you ready to be stuffed full of eggs...?”

Crystal leaned closer, nipping softly and breathing hotly on her neck. “More than ready.” She whispered lustily, not caring anymore about the other occupants in the restaurant.

Freya smiled, her horn glowing again, teleporting them back into the forest, more specifically, a flowery meadow.

Crystal let go of her and fell backwards onto the grass, lifting her head and supporting herself with her elbows as she gazed at the sudden change in surroundings, smiling at the meadow. “This doesn’t fit with the Everfree at all. It’s actually nice here. I thought you liked being in public though. Why teleport us?”

“I do but I’m not going to just start doing it in the middle of Sugarcube Corner...just feels wrong...like stabbing your childhood...”

“I suppose that makes sense.” Crystal replied, sitting up properly and looking at her lover with half-lidded eyes.

She smiled, grabbing Crystal’s pants, pulling them off and tossing them away. Shivering a bit at the sudden contact with the air, she leaned forward and smiled wickedly, taking off Freya’s shirt and throwing it to the side.

She giggled, tossing her own shirt away. “My, my, an eager one aren’t you?”

“What can I say?” Crystal asked with a grin. Freya pushed her down, kissing her deeply. Crystal laughed and kissed back, groping Freya’s breasts roughly as she tried to get her tongue into Freya’s mouth. Freya smirked, kicking her own pants off.

“I’m going to make you scream...” she licked her fangs, a predatory grin on her face.

STORY RESUMES HERE!

“So...you two had fun...” Jason commented as the girls stumbled back into town

“Heh, heh.” Crystal said with a loopy grin, leaning on Freya for support. Freya tenderly nuzzled her neck, rubbing Crystal’s stomach gently.

Crystal hummed and held Freya’s hand against her stomach but looked at Jason worriedly, unsure if she should be the one to break the news or not.

“You can’t stay Freya.” Jason sighed, shaking his head. “And no, before you go off on me, you're my successor.” He looked his daughter in the eyes. “You're my first born...hatched, whatever, point is, I need you home.”

Freya looked away, taking in a deep breath. “I’m sorry Crystal...”

“It’s fine …” Crystal said, sitting down cross-legged and drawing circles in the dirt dejectedly. “I didn’t think he would let you stay anyway.”

Freya dropped to her knees, pulling Crystal into a tight hug. “I love you...” she whispered softly, nuzzling her.

Crystal sniffed, hugging Freya back just as tightly. “I love you too,” she whispered, still looking at the ground, not willing to look either of them in the eye.

Freya gently grabbed her head, lifting it up so they could look eye to eye. “I will always come back to you.” She lifted up Crystal’s hand, placing a small disk in her hand. “This will let us talk no matter where we are.”

Crystal looked at Freya with tears in her eyes and closed her hand around the disc. “You promise?”

“I swear it” She pulled her into another kiss. “I don’t expect you to wait for me and you shouldn’t...”

Crystal kissed her roughly, feeling tears slide down her face. “If that’s the case, then I don’t expect you to wait for me either.” She said with a watery smile and a slight waver to her voice.

“I’ll wait...if you wait...” Freya said softly, not wanting to let her go, tears flowing down her muzzle.

“You … will?” Crystal asked, looking at her with slight hope in her teary eyes.

“Of course I will...I’ll wait until the end of time...” she got to her hooves, pulling Crystal up with her.

Crystal gave her a tight hug and whispered, “Thank you.”

Freya hugged her back before stepping away, rubbing at her eyes.

“Here.” Jason tossed Crystal a storage cube. “A graduation present. It’s a copy of my cube, full of spell books and other assorted things, like a sack of enigma berry seeds and a device that’ll play any song you can think of.”

Crystal fumbled with it for a bit before finally catching it. “Oh, thanks. This’ll be fun to play around with.” She said after rubbing at her eyes.

“Just...let me know when it’s time?” Freya asked, glancing at Crystal’s stomach.

“Hmm. I definitely will.” Crystal nodded, giving Freya a smile as she took notice of the glance. “I suppose you want to head back home?”

“All you have to say is, ‘Jason, our contract is complete.” Crystal took a deep breath and calmed herself.

“Jason, our contract is complete.” Crystal repeated, placing the disc that Freya gave her inside her cube.

They gave one last wave before they vanished in a green flash, Jason’s token falling to the ground. Crystal walked up to the token and held it tightly, giving it a sad smile.

Author's Notes:

This crossover was fun to write, even if it took a lot longer than expected. I want to give thanks to Shagohad12 again for agreeing to write this big crossover with me. There's a small break and then another crossover that I've already written will be up. After that, I'm not sure.
