A kingdom has fallen, and with it a new one rises. While Thorax, the ponies and the other Traitors celebrate, Chrysalis is already on her way to execute her revenge.

"You may think I am defeated, Thorax.", said Chrysalis as she was flying above the treeline. "You are a dreamer, Thorax. You always were. Since the very day you hatched out of your cocoon you have always dreamt of something simply impossible for our race. Friendship."

Chrysalis landed on a ledge, looking at the Pony Capital in the distance. Her face was filled with rage, her eyes burning with hatred, her spirit seeking for revenge. "It takes more than just friendship to lead, Thorax. You will see. They will all see!" With that, Chrysalis jumped off the ledge and continued her journey towards Canterlot. Her Hatred not growing one bit smaller as she flew. If looks could kill, Chrysalis would have already caused a mass genocide by now.

Chrysalis disguised as Twilight as she came near the Capital. She was in rage, but wasn't stupid enough to let herself be caught or even killed. She knew that she would surely be allowed to see the two "princesses" if she was disguised as one herself. Her time for revenge would come, but first she would need to gather the remainders of loyal changelings that she had left. Her first station was Canterlot, where two of her most betrusted changelings were stationed, still replacing the Princesses of the Sun and Moon.

Chrysalis didn't bother passing by all the ponies in the city and simply teleported herself to the entrance of the Canterlot Castle. Unfortunatly, she teleported right in front of two guards who were guarding said entrance.

"Stop, who goes there?", said one of the guards.

Chrysalis rolled her eyes before she replied "The princess of friendship, of course. Don't you recognize someone like me?"

The guards looked at eachother for a moment and then stepped aside from the door. "Of course, princess Twilight."

As the door opened and the disguised Changeling Queen entered, an evil smile formed on her face. She walked straight towards the throne room, the place where her infiltrators would be. She passed by a lot of guards and servant ponies in the process, keeping her disguise up all the way. Then she finally found the throne room. The guards let her enter once again and much to Chrysalis' relief, the two fake princesses were there, sitting on their respective thrones.

"Twilight!? W-what are you doing here? I thought-"

Chrysalis promptly interrupted the fake Celestia. "I can explain. But...not here...we should talk between six eyes." Chrysalis said with a wink.

The two disguised changelings looked at eachother and stood up. "Yes, of course. Follow us." And so the three of them walked out of the throne room, keeping their eyes on the guards all the way, not wanting to blow their cover. They quickly arrived at Queen Celestia's bedroom, as this was the only quiet and empty room where they could talk privatly. Chrysalis looked outside the room before quickly slamming the door shut and locking it.

"Alright, let's not waste any time here." Chrysalis said as she undisguised. The other changeling's queen now stood in front of them, making them bow and undisguise instinctively. "You two know you are my most betrusted subjects. Your deeds today only proved me right in that. However, it seems not all of my subjects are as loyal as you."

One of the changeling's rasied a hoof. "What do you mean, my Queen? What happened?"

Chrysalis sighed as she started explaining what had happened. "Thorax, that fool of a traitor, overthrew me and gathered the favor of all the changelings in the Hive. They have turned on me. all of them! I had to flee from my own hive, my home and am here to gather my last remaining, loyal subjects to rebuild what they have destroyed." The two changelings couldn't believe what they were hearing. "Together, we will rebuild our kingdom and strike the ponies where it hurts them most, when it hurts them most. We will crush them once and for all!" Her speech was met with approving hissing by the other two.

Suddenly though, somepony knocked on the door. "Hello? What is happening in there? Princess Celestia? Luna? Hello?" said a guard that had seen them enter the room earlier.

The Changelings, including Chrysalis, redisguised. This time though, it was Chrysalis who disguised as Princess Celestia and the other two disguised as Princess Twilight and Luna. "We have no time for long talks right now. I will go and meet up with the infiltrators in Ponyville, you two go and meet up with the ones in the Crystal Empire! We will meet at the border to the bandlands at sunset. Understood?" The Changelings responded with a quick salute, followed by them flying off through one open windows. Chrysalis once again smiled diabolically and flew off aswell. Not towards the Crystal Empire, but towards the Castle of Friendship.

Ponyville was as peaceful as always. Nopony had considered the Mane Six to...not be themselves. At least not yet.

Chrysalis, disguised as the Princess of the Sun, landed in front of the Castle of Friendship. She knocked on the door, waiting for somepony inside to open as fast as possible. The fake Celestia looked backwards, seeing that the first few ponies in the town were already gathering at the visit of Princess Celestia. Thankfully, somepony, or rather somedragon, responded. The fake Spike opened the little slit in the door, seeing Princess Celestia in front of him.

"Who is- oh...P-princess Celestia? W-what are you-"

Once again, Chrysalis interrupted. "There's no time, open up the door. I need to speak to you and the others." Spike, still doubtful, opened the door and jumped down from his stool. "Close the door please" Chrysalis said as she entered, finally escaping the looks of the townsponies "Where are the others?"

Spike pushed against the door with all his might, trying to close it. "Ugh, Map room."

Chrysalis rolled her eyes at one of his subjects looking and acting like this. "You can stop that foolish behavior now, there's no need for that." With that, she undisguised herself.

"Oh...I-I...yes, my Queen." The fake spike said as flames surrounded him. A changeling drone promptly took his place and easily kicked the door behind him, closing it with ease. "Finally rid of that stupid, weak dragon body."

Chrysalis smirked. "Let us not waste time. We should meet up with the others." With that, Chrysalis and the drone both sprinted towards the map room. Soon they could hear evil, manical laughter. It got louder and louder as they got closer. When they finally entered the room though...

"My Queen? I...We...W-what are you doing here? I thought you-" Chrysalis waved the fake Twilight's speech off.

"Yes, yes. It is surprising to see me. I too am not happy to see myself here. I will tell you why I am here and what has happened. But...do me a favor and remove those silly disguises of yours." The fake mane six looked at eachother with an evil smirk and removed their disguises. "Much better. Now. I need to cut this short, the real elements of Harmony might already be on their way. Thorax and his so called "friends" have overthrown me and the hive. All these fools, those traitors...dared to believe and follow him...they will pay. They will all pay!" Once again, her plans for revenge were met with hisses of excitement and agreement. "Come, my last, few loyal subjects. Together we will make those traitors pay. We will rebuild our kingdom, no matter the cost, and we will retake what those ponies and traitors have taken from us!" The hisses in the room became louder, rage and anger filling the spirit of the other changelings. "Let's not waste any time, my sons. We have a kingdom to rebuild!"

With that, Chrysalis lifted off the ground, instructing the drones to do the same. Queen Chrysalis flew upwards and used her magic to destroy one of the windows. She then lead her drones outside and towards what was the meeting point with the rest of the drones.

After about 2 hours of flight, a flight that slowly brought Chrysalis to the edge of her remaining strength, Chrysalis and her drones arrived at the edge of the Badlands. As she landed on the last remaining bits of vegetation, she stared into the distance, knowing that the lands ahead of her were hostile and unwelcoming for any kind of lifeform. Yet she and her subjects had managed to build the strongest kingdom her race had ever known. Her mother would surely be proud of her. Then Chrysalis remembered how all this, this gigantic kingdom, was brought down, infiltrated, poisoned, by some little grub. This dirty, foolish traitor that is called Thorax...she should have gotten rid of him when she had the chance to. But this wasn't the time to think about the past. For now, she had to focus on what laid ahead of her: Rebuilding her kingdom and reclaiming her rule over the changelings.

"My Queen, the others are here!" Said one of the drones as they saw a group of drones heading towards them.

Chrysalis shook her head, focusing on the task at hand. "Excellent, not one moment too early." The drones landed in front of their queen, bowing as they did so. Now that the second group had arrived, Chrysalis had gathered all of her remaining, loyal changelings. She looked over the small of group of 11 changelings in front of her. "There is a lot to do..." She thought to herself.

"Changelings!" Chrysalis started. "Today a grim fate has hit our race. Our race was infiltrated the same way we infiltrate other races. This day showed us that we've been betrayed and lied to all these years. Our family, our friends...our race, has betrayed us. But this is not where it ends. No, my lovely and loyal subjects. As long as one of us stands, we will survive, we will fight, fight for what we stand for and what is right.
We will rebuild and retake what those traitors have taken from us today, whatever the cost. We will make them pay for what they dared to do to us and our race today! They think themselves safe with their new leader and new pony "friends", but we will show them what true loyalty and strength means! We are the Hive! We will survive, we will conquer! We will endure!
