Stomach Stallion: The Misadventures of Verdant Range
Chapter 4: Operation: Eat Your Greens (APD)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was a lovely early spring morning as a verdant, vest-clad stallion was tending to his garden. A silkie chicken walked about while he worked, occasionally shuffling her feathers.
“Private Range,” a familiar voice reached the stallion’s ears, making him turn to see his former captain. He was a tall unicorn stallion with a black coat. His eyes were an icy blue while his mane was twin shades of blue. The unicorn tried to look intimidating and authoritative… only to be undermined by the chicken choosing to hop up and perch herself upon his head.
“D’aww, Pizza likes you.” Verdant held back on laughing at the sight as he rose up. “So, what brings you to Vanhoover, Barrier? I’m guessing it’s not a social call.”
“I wish it was, Verdant,” Barrier sighed. “First, get your chicken off of me before I have her deep fried.” The charcoal stallion’s left eye twitched ever so slightly as he pointed to the hen on his head.
Verdant smirked then whistled a little tune, making the bird fly over onto his vest covered back.
“Thank you. Now let’s get inside,” Barrier said as he walked past the smaller earth pony. “I don’t want anypony else hearing.”
“Oh dear.” Verdant ushered his former mentor into the house, taking him to his living room. As the military stallion took his seat and then a deep breath to prepare himself.
“Verdant, what I’m telling you is classified information. Nopony outside the highest members of the guards and the princesses know what I’m about to tell you. You’re not to repeat a single word of what I’m about to tell you. Understood?”
“Yes, sir.” Verdant nodded, giving a nervous swallow. Whatever this is, it has to be huge.
“At approximately two-hundred thirty hours last week, Queen Chrysalis escaped from her prison cell, along with several changelings who remain loyal to her.”
Verdant stumbled back and into a chair at the news. He had heard many a tale of what had happened while he was locked away in a crystalline dungeon of the empire. The stories of Queen Chrysalis were the ones that frightened him the most. She was a dangerously capable shapeshifter who could easily disguise herself as anypony and who, at her peak, had enough power to topple Princess Celestia in one-on-one combat. It was something that had haunted his dreams for quite a while upon learning of her.
“Dear Faust…” the shamrock stallion whispered, feeling a chill running up the base of his spine.
“Unfortunately, it gets worse.” Barrier leaned further back in his chair, seeing the green pony’s pupils dilate. “According to our sources, not only has she managed to fully recover from her injuries at the royal wedding, including regrowing her horn, but she’ll be going into heat fairly soon. After that, she’s going to lay a huge clutch of eggs. She could quickly recoup her losses and bring in a whole new army of loyal changelings that are ready to fight in just a few years' time if she’s able to do this.”
Verdant remained quiet as he sat down upon the floor, his pet giving him an affectionate nuzzle.
“Verdant?” Barrier tilted his head as the young stallion petted the overly fluffy bird. “Did you hear what I said?”
“Aye, sir.” Verdant looked up, seeing the stern stallion in the eye. “I assume the reason you’re telling me this is because you will require my skills with whatever plan you have to stop her?”
“Correct,” Barrier replied as he rose from the chair. “Some allies and I have put together a plan on how to prevent Chrysalis from creating a new army and make those that are still loyal to her turn their backs on her.”
“That’s all good, but what skills of mine do you need?” Verdant stepped closer, starring the obsidian stallion in the eye. “My skills with a bow? My knowledge of plants and their effects?”
“I need your ability to be shrunk down and survive being eaten.”
Silence hung in the air for a tense moment as the colt looked to the unicorn in confusion.
“Excuse me, sir?”
“You heard me, Verdant.” Barrier placed a firm hoof upon his shoulder, his eyes boring into the nervous earth pony. “I need you to shrink down and get inside Queen Chrysalis in order to stop her.”
“Are you out of your mind?!” Verdant pulled back, looking into Barrier’s eyes with a mixture of shock and fear. “How in any way is me getting eaten by a giant bug going to help Equestria?!”
“We’ve been doing what we can to work out a plan that will result in minimal loss of life, Verdant.” Barrier stepped forward, backing the smaller stallion into a wall. “This plan to put her out of commission without killing her or any other changelings is our best option.”
Verdant swallowed nervously as the captain stared down at him. After a moment of silence, Barrier slowly backed away.
“You’re not obligated to do this, Verdant. However time is of the essence. Whatever answer you have for this, I need it ASAP.”
“Aye, sir.” Verdant took a deep breath to consider. “Just give me a little bit to find someone to look after Pizza for me.”
“That won’t be needed, Verdant,” a small smile reached the unicorn’s face as he placed a hoof on the earth pony’s shoulder. “I’ll take care of her for you.”
“Well, thanks cap—” Verdant was silenced has Barrier’s hoof struck his neck, darkness quickly encompassing as he fell to floor.
***
“Ow…” Verdant groaned as his vision slowly returned to him. He found he was no longer in his Vanhoover house, but in a small conference room. In front of him was a large, round table with a plethora of chairs stationed around it. The walls were all a slate gray with the only source of light in the room being a lamp hanging above the table’s center.
“Good to see you’re awake, Verdant.”
The earth pony looked over his shoulder, where he saw Barrier approaching the table.
“Now we can get underway with the plan.”
“Was it really necessary to knock me out, Barrier?” Verdant complained as he rubbed the still tender spot on his neck.
“Unfortunately so, Verdant,” Barrier replied as he took a seat at Verdant’s right. “This location’s classified. Had to get you here without you knowing where we are.”
“Fair enough, I guess.” Verdant leaned back in his chair. “Anything else you plan on telling me before I go on this mission?
“Yes. For the sake of security, we won’t be using our real names from now until after the mission’s over. Currently, when speaking to me, I’m to be referred to as Agent Arcana while when you’re using the com crystals, I’m to be called Papa Bear. Meanwhile, your codenames are Agent Shamrock and Porridge respectively and Chrysalis will be called Mama Bear on the coms.”
“Understood.” Verdant nodded just as a squeak reached his ears. Turning around in his chair, he spotted a strange figure approaching from the darkness.
The figure had shiny black chitin with large aqua eyes. It had a curved horn and sharp thestral like fangs. The back of the head had a row of spiky fins going down its center, leading to the dark blue shell covering its back. The strangest feature of the approaching creature was that it had several large holes in its legs.
“Perfect timing.” Barrier said, hopping out of his seat. “Agent Shamrock, this is our spy in Chrysalis’s current base and your way in. This is Agent PB.”
“Call me Peanut Butter.” The changeling happily smiled while Barrier glared at her. “What? It’s not like it’s my real name.”
“At any rate,” Barrier lead the changeling over to the table, where they both took a seat at Verdant’s sides. “PB will be referred to as Kettle when speaking over the com. Any questions?”
A quiet moment passed while PB dumped the contents of her saddlebags onto the table, spilling an assortment of papers and devices around.
“Alright. With that out of the way, we’ll be discussing the plan in detail. Agent PB.”
“Right!” She beamed before clearing her throat, her tone becoming more serious. “The plan we have is to render Queen Chrysalis infertile. With her unable to lay fertile eggs, not only will she no longer be able to recoup her losses from the Canterlot invasion, but it will cost her the faith of a great deal of her remaining subjects, possibly to the point of revolt.”
“Is all this stuff with shrinking me really necessary, sir?” Verdant looked to Barrier with a raised eyebrow. “Couldn’t you just slip some sort of drugs in her food that could do the job for you?”
“Possibly, but that has a chance of failure. That’s not something I’m willing to take a chance on,” Barrier stated as he seemed to pull a flask from out of nowhere. “Even after that kick Octavia gave her, I find that it's possible that Chrysalis could still lay viable eggs.”
“With the plan we’ve cooked up, we have the best odds of stopping all of this with minimal risk to both our species as a whole. You’re pretty much the most qualified pony for this, Agent Shamrock.” PB mustered the biggest puppy dog eyes she could to sway the stallion, aided by a quick flash of green flame.
“Alright.” Verdant slumped into his chair, taking a deep breath. “Let’s continue talking about the plan.
“Yay!” PB grinned as she fished through the pile of junk on the table, pulling out an anatomy chart and a pointer stick. “This is the anatomy of the average changeling queen. For the first step in the plan, Agent Shamrock will be shrunken down via poison joke and then slipped into a bowl of Queen Chrysalis’ food. After that, you’ll then enter here.” She slammed the tip of the stick upon the chart, right upon the subject’s mouth.
“As long as you don’t get chewed to death, Chrysalis will swallow you, which will send you down her esophagus and eventually into her stomach.”
“Agent PB,” Verdant held up a hoof like a foal in class. “Is there something special I’m supposed to be doing besides getting a tour of a digestive system? I’ve got plenty of experience with that already.”
“Right, I’ll skip to the big part. This is where pony and changeling anatomy differ.” PB picked up the pointer with her magic, slamming the tip in the figure’s flank area. “At the end of her bowels, you’ll reach a chamber called the cloaca. This multipurpose area will be the key to things. Once Chrysalis is asleep, you will enter the cloaca and make your way through her vagina. You’ll then make your way from the shell gland and through the oviducts into Chrysalis’ ovaries, and this is where the important stuff happens.”
“You’ll be equipped with a specialized suit for this mission,” Barrier spoke up, taking a swig between sentences. “It will have several things such as a gravity enchantment in the shoes to make travel easier, along with a thing called dimensionally transcendental saddlebags. Basically, they’ll be bigger on the inside. You’ll be carrying tons of backup supplies for your mission.”
“Once you’ve entered the ovaries,” PB took over the briefing once more, casually kicking back, placing her hind hooves on the table. “You’ll have to inject every single one of her follicles with a chemical solution that will keep the ovums from maturing, meaning each egg she’ll put out will only be good for omelets.”
“But as an added measure of security,” Barrier’s horn ignited in a flash of blue light, pulling PB’s hooves off the table. “You’ll also be spraying a spermicidal chemical throughout her oviducts.”
“Right. I understand all this.” Verdant nodded as his eyes closely examined the chart before him. “Besides the stuff to make her infertile and that suit, what else will I have for supplies?”
“You’ll have a tent, some books, and about a month and a half’s worth of food and bottled water.” Barrier slipped out of his seat, trotting over to the changeling and pony. “You’ll need them since your mission will have you in there for about twenty days.”
“Twenty days!?” Verdant exclaimed, his pupils dilating in shock.
“It’s a necessary step to help guarantee the ovums won’t be mature when it comes time for Chrysalis to breed.” PB looked at Verdant sadly and patted him on the back. “This way, you’ll have plenty of time to complete the mission.”
“I...I just…” Verdant groaned and rubbed his temples. “I hope I get well rewarded for this.”
“Rest assured, you will.” Barrier levitated the flask to the earth pony’s face in offering, only for it to be gently pushed away.
“Once you’ve done all that, I suggest you exit while Chrysalis is laying one of the eggs.” PB turned Verdant to face her, giving him a gentle smile. “Just be sure not to follow too close. You could end up stuck inside the shell of one of the eggs. Best to hang back until the shelling’s done.”
“Okay.” Verdant deeply inhaled, a small grin appearing on his muzzle. “So, when are we getting started?”
“Immediately,” Barrier stated as his horn flared again, causing a large suitcase to appear upon the table. The clips opened up with a click then case slowly opened.
Within the foam-padded case was a folded up suit that seemed to be made of some sort of spandex-like material, a matching helmet with a clear visor, and a jar full of a blue powder.
“Suit up, Agent Shamrock.” Barrier magically tossed the suit into Verdant hooves. “Time is of the essence.”
After a few moments, the green pony managed to slip himself into the suit and snap the helmet shut around his head.
“All set to go, sir.” Verdant saluted as Barrier levitated the jar of powder up, taking a step away as he undid the lid.
“Best of luck, Verdant,” Barrier said as he started to pour some of the blue poison joke powder on the suited stallion. “I’ll make sure your place and your pet are well taken care of while you’re on this.”
“Thank you, sir.” Verdant nodded as the last of the powder covered him. “Now if you need to knock me out, just don’t make it another painful karate ch—”
The shamrock stallion was cut off at he was struck from behind with a wooden bat, sending him tumbling to the ground.
“Did you really need to do that?” Barrier glared at the changeling with the wooden club clenched in her teeth before dropping it to the floor. “I found the sleep powder on the way in.”
“Hey, I’ve got to do something to warrant writing these off as a business expense.”
***
Verdant groaned as wakefulness returned to him, interrupting a pleasant dream involving him and the mare of his life. He felt a shaking all around him as his vision started to clear.
Once the blur of his sight had cleared, Verdant found himself in a tube made of a hard black substance. Gazing out of the tube, he saw that the tube was one of the many holes in PB’s leg. She was walking through a colossal cavern, a bowl being carried in her mouth.
Verdant gave his changeling ally’s leg a hard jab, hoping to gain her attention. For once in the small stallion’s life, his attempt to make a giantess notice him was successful.
PB quickly halted her steps and set the bowl down. With the bowl on the cave floor, she quickly scanned the cave to ascertain that she was alone before raising her foreleg up to her face.
“Good to see you’re awake, Shamrock,” she gently whispered. “You can activate the com crystal in your helmet holding a hoof to the right side of it.”
“Like this?” Verdant placed a hoof on the side of his helm, drawing a grin from PB.
“Bingo. Now let’s get you ready for the next part.” She smiled before tilting her leg and letting the little pony jump off the smooth surface, making him fall down her leg hole. Eventually he landed in the bowl which was full of a strange green mush. “Operation: Eat Your Greens is a go.”
Verdant rolled his eyes as PB craned her neck down. “Did Ba… Papa Bear come up with that name?” Verdant asked as PB picked the bowl up with her mouth.
“Uh-huh,” PB muttered as she trotted down the cavern.
“Then remind me to kick his flank for that terrible pun once this is all over.” Verdant’s reply drew a chuckle as the two of them entered an expansive chamber.
From his place in the mush, Verdant spotted many more changelings either flying about or clinging to the jagged stone walls.
Soon, the speck of a stallion found himself staring up at the colossal, intimidating face of Queen Chrysalis. Verdant gave a hard swallow as PB laid the bowl at the queen’s hooves.
“Your majesty,” PB grinned and bowed. “Your mashed beetles are ready for you.” As she spoke, Verdant dived into mush, hoping to avoid the queen’s eyes.
“It’s about time,” he heard Chrysalis grumble as he felt the bowl being lifted once more. After a tense moment of silence, Verdant found himself being scooped up the by the changeling’s tongue, narrowly avoiding her teeth and she begun to chew up her meal.
Verdant was rolled and tossed about by the giant’s forked tongue as she savoured the flavor of the beetles. As the massive muscle rose once more, pushing him toward the sides of the cavernous mouth, Verdant had to jump away to avoid being wedged between a pair of her terribly sharp fangs as well as the row above as they came slamming down.
After several more close calls, the mush was turned into a thick paste just before Chrysalis tilted her head back, sending her meal and the male sliding towards the back of her throat. With a hard swallow, Verdant found himself being squeezed downward by her powerful throat muscles.
“Urgh…” Verdant groaned as he descended the esophagus. I swear, these things get tighter every time this happens.
Verdant soon felt the pressure on his hind legs disappear before he fell down with a wet plop, being drenched with more of Chrysalis’ food as he tried to stand.
Looking around, Verdant found the changeling queen’s stomach to be much different from any he’d been in before. The walls of the stomach seemed to be ever so slightly transparent and green, while the juices in the pulsating flesh chamber had a faint glow.
Verdant sat back to prepare to continue, only for his concentration to be broken by another load of beetle mush falling down upon him.
“Right, on with the mission,” Verdant muttered as he pulled himself from the muck, shaking what he could off like a dog and bringing a hoof to his helm. “Come in, Papa Bear. Mama Bear thought her Porridge was just right. Over.”
“Good job.” Barrier’s voice came in loud and clear from within the helm’s earpieces. “Now I need you to head on down to the grocery store. There’s a great deal on eggs.”
“Copy that. I’ll be heading out soon. Over and out.” Verdant trudged along as the stomach pulsated. Thankfully, the gravity charm kept Verdant safely grappled to the fleshy floor, but it didn’t do much to combat queasiness as he reached the sphincter.
“Alright little valve,” Verdant reached out to the orifice, giving it a gentle rub. “Be a nice little hole and open up for me. I want to get this over with as soon as I can.”
The valve slowly opened up, allowing Verdant to slip into the duodenum.
“Thank you,” he grinned from behind his helmet. “Hopefully the next part won’t be too unpleasant.”
***
Hours passed for the pea-sized pony as he journeyed through Queen Chrysalis’ body. While the huge insectoid mare had gone for a run through the caverns and had a soak in a hot spring, Verdant had crawled through the fleshy caverns of her bowels and soaked in the foul smelling sludge that was her bodily waste.
A little more than an hour after Chrysalis had fallen asleep, Verdant finally arrived in her cloaca. With a tired groan, he scraped her waste from his suit before continuing his quest.
Verdant took in the strange sights of the queen’s cavity. On one side was a massive shutter-like hole that would be his eventual exit from the enormous enemy. On the other, Verdant found a pair of fleshy tunnels which lead deeper into the changeling queen’s body.
The upper tunnel was the large intestine that Verdant had finally left. The lower tunnel was the one he needed to traverse to reach her ovaries; her vaginal canal.
Raising a hoof to his head, Verdant activated the com. “Calling Papa Bear. I’m on my way to the grocery store, just gonna go through the tunnel of love first.”
“Alright, keep going,” Barrier’s voice replied before a chuckle-snort came through. “How does this kid come up with these things?” His amused voice came through loud and clear.
“Papa Bear, you’re still on.” Verdant smirked under his helm before he heard the com cut out. He then went forward, slowly making his way into Chrysalis’ vagina.
As he made his way onward, the meaty walls started to become damp. The tunnel started to move about as it became wetter and warmer. Verdant’s eyebrow rose until he heard something in the distance.
“Hmm… Shining Armor…” Chrysalis’ booming voice echoed throughout before she started to snore once more.
Verdant’s face paled from behind the helmet, the horrifying truth dawning upon him.
Oh shit! Chrysalis is having wet dream and I’m stimulating her! I’ve got to get out of here!
Verdant bolted forward and the tunnel started to clench and tighten, becoming even hotter as more fluids splashed over the tiny stallion. The poor stallion failed to realise that by running forward instead of moving slowly, he was only stimulating her more.
The entrance to the shell gland grew ever closer. As Chrysalis moaned in pleasure, the muscles contracted so tightly around Verdant that he couldn’t move. He was worried that Chrysalis’ insides would crush him before he saw a torrent of fluid headed towards him.
Verdant braced himself as best he could before he was struck by the oncoming flood. He was battered by the rush of changeling queen cum and squeezed by her clenching canal. As a minor bit of fortune, the gravity charm on the suit held Verdant in place.
A satisfied and happy sigh came from the slumbering queen as her vagina slowly loosened its grip on the cum-coated pony.
“Urgh…” Verdant groaned as he slowly and sorely moved trudged onwards. “Note to self, Queen Chrysalis has a hair trigger.”
***
After hours of crawling through Chrysalis’ miles long oviducts, Verdant had finally made his way to the entrance to one of the changeling queen’s ovaries.
“Calling Papa Bear,” the tired pony said as he reactivated the com. “I’ve finally made it to the grocery store to get the first batch of eggs.”
“Copy that,” Barrier firmly replied. “Once you’ve got the first batch, go ahead and take a quick rest before getting the second batch.”
“Roger that. Over.” Verdant placed a hoof against the ovary’s orifice, gently massaging it into opening.
Hopping through, Verdant took in the sight of the ovary’s interior. There were tons of little orbs hanging from a strange fleshy bit that looked like a strange tree to him. Each little orb was an immature ovum, a potential changeling waiting to be made to serve Chrysalis and aid her schemes to conquer Equestria.
Taking a brief moment to steel himself, Verdant moved closer to one of the little eggs which was dangling like a ripe apple before taking one of the little syringes from his saddlebags.
He slowly removed the cap from the needle before plunging it into the orb, injecting it with a concoction of purple chemicals.
“Alright.” Verdant licked his lips behind the helm before stowing the used needle into his bags. “One down…” His gaze shifted up to the sight of the many unjabbed follicles. “...Several hundred to go.”
Verdant sighed heavily before pulling out the second needle of many.
***
After a few hours of hard work, Verdant had finished the injection of every single one of the follicles in Chrysalis first ovary.
Verdant was able to have a brief nap that was ended when the changeling queen awoke, shaking with the force of a light earthquake as she rolled over and stood up.
The hours blurred together for the stallion but, eventually, he managed to finish injecting every last one of Chrysalis’ follicles by the time she had finished her dinner.
“Leave me be,” the titanic queen’s voice barked. “I need to cleanse myself.”
Verdant stretched, leaning back against her oviduct. “Wish I could take bath. At least you didn’t have to crawl through literal shit.”
A loud, distant crackle reached Verdant’s ears. Rushing to his hooves, he saw a bright green flame quickly sweep over changeling’s innards, making the fleshy tube rapidly contract.
“Sweet Faust, is this what it’s like when she shapeshifts?” Verdant swallowed as he looked around the smaller ducts. “What is she up to?”
***
“Leave me be.” Chrysalis barked to her changeling servants as she entered her private chamber. “I need to cleanse myself.”
“Yes, your majesty.” The trio of servants bowed before backing away, closing her chamber with a large rock.
Once she certain her underlings were out of sight, she stood in front of the polished stone surface she had fashioned into a body length mirror.
In a flash of green flame, her appearance completely changed. Where was once a tall, chitinous black changeling was now a purple unicorn. A mocking grin spread across her face as she placed a fuzzy hoof to her chest.
“Look at me, I’m Twilight Sparkle!” she said in a mocking, nasally tone. “I’m a nerdy loser of a mare with a crush on her big brother who’s gonna flush years of planning down the toilet and crush someling’s buggyhood dreams by being obsessive compulsive to the point of knowing when Cadance schedules her BMs.”
***
Verdant glared toward where he assumed Chrysalis’ head was.
“And with that, I now have absolutely zero guilt over using your insides as a toilet!” He shouted just as another flash of emerald flames to wash over her insides, thankfully providing some more room for the queen’s passenger.
***
Chrysalis grinned at the face of a midnight blue alicorn that was looking back at her.
“Zounds, all shalt kneel before Us, for We art Princess Luna!” she bellowed in imitation of the Royal Canterlot Voice. “All shalt love Us, even after I attempted to murder the planet. Truly We art worthy of praise, despite not spending five minutes in many months to learn Faust cursed Equish.”
The disguised queen chuckled, briefly returning to her true voice. “I spend more time prepping to seduce a pizza delivery colt.”
In another flash of green light, Chrysalis morphed into the form of a large, alabaster alicorn.
“Greetings, my little ponies,” she spoke in a sickeningly sweet tone. “I’m ever so grateful for your tributes of sweet pastries. You’ll all have the great honor of adding to my sun-sized royal rump.” Chrysalis quickly spun around, facing her rump to the mirror. She then swiftly shook her plump rear back and forth.
***
When Chrysalis spun around, Verdant was treated like a pony in a centrifuge; the suit's charms being the sole thing holding him to the oviduct floor. The forces made him feel like his heart sank into his rear.
Before he could begin to settle down, the queen’s booty shaking started to toss the stationary stallion to and fro. Verdant forced himself to smile as widely as he could, trying to keep himself from retching in the snug suit.
***
Chrysalis’ evening was quite entertaining for her as she used her mimicry to mock the various ponies that had ever bothered her, from Princess Cadance to a barista that once screwed up her order.
As her day came to a close, the changeling queen did a few quick stretches, getting ready for bed. With her stretches finished, she hopped backward, flopping back onto her soft, queen sized bed.
Her eyes briefly flicked to a stone dresser beside her bed. With a flash of her horn, she opened a drawer and pulled out a thick, cylindrical toy.
“It’s been a while, Shining Armor.” Chrysalis grinned at the toy, licking her lips. “Time to put you back where you belong.”
Slowly, the obsidian insectoid spread her long, hole filled legs.
***
Verdant groaned as he pulled himself back up, recovering from Chrysalis flopping on her bed. To the minuscule stallion, it was as if he were in a large city that had been dropped from the sky.
Just as he managed to straighten himself out, a lusty moan reached his ears.
“Oh for buck’s sake.” Verdant slapped a hoof to his forehead just before the chamber shook from the changeling bucking her town-sized hips.
“Yes, Shining Armor! Harder! Faster!” Chrysalis shouted as she played with herself, causing yet another earthquake for the stallion within to suffer through.
“Yes! YES!! YEEEESSSS!!!” The changeling exclaimed before her wild shaking started to slow, eventually coming to a stop. Her aroused shouts were replaced by heavy pants.
“Thank you, my dear prince.” Chrysalis’ whisper came though clearly to Verdant, along with her snores that came moments later.
“Finally!” Verdant sighed in exasperation as he flopped down onto his belly. “At least I can some R&R now.”
Verdant sorted through his saddlebags, pulling out a ready-to-go meal, a bottle of water, a large manga volume, a sleeping bag and a lamp. Taking off his helmet, Verdant sighed before wiping his brow.
“Well that’s two nights down. About eighteen more to go.”
***
Thankfully for the micro equine, things the next day were much more pleasant than the one before. A good night’s rest did wonders for him.
The shaking from Chrysalis’ movements were fairly light that day as she went about her daily routine of command, exercising, bathing, and so on.
As Verdant had a brief moment to relax, his eyes drifted to some of the stains covering his suit.
“Hmm… Barrier did say I have a month and a half’s worth of water…” he pondered as he weighed his options. “I guess one little bath and suit wash won’t hurt.”
The small stallion quickly discarded the suit and started to fish through his saddle bags, producing a large bottle of water.
***
Chrysalis was quite happy with tonight’s meal. Her changelings had not only managed to find her favorite species of beetles, but they also managed to steal some pastries made by a loving couple. She could still taste the love from them as she made her way to her bedchamber.
I should probably do something after that. The dark queen thought to herself as she came up to her mirror. I may need fat and protein for the eggs, but I still want to keep my naturally fantastic figure.
Chrysalis cast a spell over her chamber, ensuring no sounds would escape. She then removed a hidden stone panel in the wall, revealing a blue and silver boombox.
Gently pressing a hoof on the play button, a peppy little pop song started to fill the room. When the music kicked into high gear, Chrysalis danced along to beat. She stood upon her hind legs, swinging her hips wildly back and forth. Her forelegs were above her head, flopping around in an impersonation of rabbit ears.
***
“Perfect!” Verdant grinned as he held up the now sparkling suit. He had managed to scrub every last trace of what he had been forced to trudge through from its surface.
“Time to—” the pony was interrupted by a sudden shift in the queen's movement, he then found himself being bounced around her insides by the shaking of her hips. He was battered around like a pinball as he desperately tried to put the suit back on in the air before being slammed into a wall of changeling flesh.
After several torturous minutes of flailing in flight, he had managed to slip back into the suit, the enchantment allowing him cling to one of the swinging inner walls.
“Right…” Verdant sighed as he hung onto the fleshy floor. “Now where in Tartarus did my supplies and helmet go?”
The shamrock stallion’s second question was answered as his helm collided with the back of his head. He was luckily able to grab the headgear and put it on before the next hip swing managed to send it flying away. However, the horrible bouncing continued, the earthquake like tremors taking its toll on the clinging equine.
Eventually, by what Verdant could only consider a miracle by Faust, the shaking died down and Chrysalis slowly made her way into bed.
The small stallion gave an even smaller sigh of relief as the tremors had ceased for the night. “Right. Thank Faust that’s finally over. Now I can just kick back and…” He paused as he scanned around the colossal innards. “Where did my damn saddlebags go?”
Verdant could only groan when he couldn’t see where his bags had ended up.
“Wonderful. I’m gonna be searching all damn night,” the earth pony grumbled before setting off on his search.
***
The days started to blur together as similar things played out between the changeling queen and the pony hiding within her. Verdant was grateful that the queen kept to such a routine since this allowed him to plan out things like when he could rest and eat.
There was only one real change Verdant really took note of as the days went by. The follicles in Chrysalis’ ovaries had been slowly filling up with yolk. What once seemed to be the size of toy balls to him were now massive sacks.
“At least my time in here’s coming to an end soon,” Verdant said aloud as he hopped onto one of the squishy sacks, treating it like an oversized water bed. “Then I won’t have to read the same eighteen magazines over and over or talk to myself anymore.”
***
Chrysalis relished the taste of the meal her changelings had prepared for her, giving her swollen belly a gentle pat before rising up and walking away.
This is excellent. My plans have been going exceptionally. The queen grinned as she towered over her servants. Now, all I need is to find a good breeding partner.
Her harlequin eyes scanned over the multitude of changelings she passed by on her way to the bed chambers. Soon, her eyes came upon a large changeling. Even with thick chitin covering them, she could see his muscles were quite large.
Chrysalis licked her lips as she approached the muscular changeling. “You, follow me. You’ve just received the great honor of siring an army.”
“Yes, your majesty!” He saluted and followed behind her, his eyes focused on her swaying rump and swollen, fertile belly.
The two quickly made their way into her bedchamber, where the queen gently laid down on the bed upon her back. She spread her legs wide to him as a she cast the male a sultry grin.
“Now, come for me.” She winked as he joined her on the bed, climbing atop her, unaware that the room’s entrance was slightly ajar.
***
Verdant steadied himself in the ovary as he listened to the queen’s words.
“Guess we’ll see if this injection stuff worked or not soon,” he said to himself before a breathy moan came from the queen.
The queen’s entire body quaked as she moaned, likely from her consort thrusting into her.
One more quake quickly followed, along with a moan from Chrysalis and a much louder groan from her mate.
An awkward silence came over the pair for a moment before Chrysalis shouted.
“ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!” Her scream echoed not only throughout her body, but throughout the entire cavern, drawing laughs from many a changeling and the small pony. “TWO THRUSTS AND YOU’RE DONE?!”
“Wow, seriously?” Verdant laughed as he lounged upon the egg sack. “I was able to make her cum by accident, yet you somehow blew it? Just… wow…” He giggled as he brought a hoof to his forehead.
“Get the hell out!” Chrysalis frustratedly barked. “You’ve served your primary purpose, now I’ve got to take care of the rest.”
“Well,” Verdant hopped off the squishy sack, making his way to the ovary’s exit. “Guess I should go hose down her insides with that spermicide stuff while she’s jilling off.”
The small stallion soon came to a long bend in the oviduct, leading deeper into the groaning body.
“Guess this would be a good spot to do it.” He shrugged before reaching into his saddlebags. After a bit of shuffling about, he managed to pull out a large nozzle attached to a thick hose that went deep into the saddlebags.
With a flick of a switch, a pumping noise came deep from within the bag before a geyser of clear pinkish goop shot forth from the hose, starting coat the changeling’s inner canals.
“Hmm… Maybe once I’m out, I’ll rent that movie about the ponies that fought that painting ghost thing again,” Verdant muttered as he sprayed the fluid, trying to coat every microscopic inch. “Eh, I should probably just buy a copy once I make my escape.”
After nearly an hour, the hose had released the last of the fluid that now coated the inner walls.
“Well, that looks like a job well done.” Verdant smiled as he gazed upon his work before turning back towards the ovaries. “Hopefully that’s my last night in here.”
Upon reaching the ovary, Verdant climbed up onto one of the egg sacks and laid down upon the soft surface. Rest quickly overcame the tiny pony as the warmth and softness within the queen lulled him to sleep.

Chrysalis awoke with a yawn before slowing making her way out of bed. Gazing down at her rotund belly, she knew that the time she had awaited had finally come.
She quietly made her way into the deepest chamber of the cavern. Within, only a single changeling slept.
“Awaken,” Chrysalis said as she gave the changeling servant a light jab, rousing her from her slumber.
“Oh, what the—” PB paused as she spotted the queen standing before her. She quickly raised a salute and put on the realest smile she could. “Good morning, your majesty! Has the big day finally come?”
“Indeed it has,” Chrysalis yawned before pulling an about face and squatting low to the ground. “At least this will be easier than the day after I entered that chicken wing contest that griffin held.”
The queen bit her lip as she felt a movement deep within her.
***
Verdant was shocked awake by the sound of a loud and nearby tearing noise come from behind him. Quickly looking behind, he saw the sack he was on was tearing down the middle.
“Oh shit!” the tiny pony screamed as he scrambled away. He hopped onto a higher egg sack just as the first had split open, sending the yolk rolling downward, out of the ovary.
“Looks like exit day’s finally here.” Verdant gasped as he climbed higher, crawling up to the highest sack before activating his com. “Come in, Kettle. Your Porridge is going to be shipped out later today. I hope you’re ready for it.”
***
“The first egg will be coming out soon; it just needs to form its shell.” Chrysalis groaned as she felt it making its way through her just as Verdant’s transmission came through for PB. “Get ready to grab it once it’s laid.”
“Roger that,” the smaller changeling replied to the two as she drew closer to Chrysalis’ plump rear. After a few minutes passed, PB heard Chrysalis start to groan louder and saw the cloaca slowly start to open, revealing the familiar shape of a changeling egg slowly making its way out of the queen.
PB grabbed a hold of the egg just as it finished being squeezed out, quickly setting it aside. “That’s the first egg down, your majesty.”
“One down,” Chrysalis bit down on her lip one more. “Several hundred to go…”
***
Hours passed for the small steed as he witnessed the egg sacks tear open one by one before exiting the ovary. Eventually, the final sack tore open and the yolk was expelled.
“Time to make my move,” Verdant said as he leapt from the empty sack of flesh, exiting the ovary.
The speck of a stallion saw the colossal yolk rolling down into a deeper part of the changeling’s oviduct, rumbling along like a boulder that could flatten Canterlot Castle.
Verdant stayed back from the future egg as he followed, doing what he could to avoid getting caught in the egg’s amniotic fluids or shell.
After trudging through a mile of fleshy tube, a distant rumble reached the pony’s ears. Looking behind in the distance, he saw the terrifying sight of another yolk coming towards him.
“Oh shit!” Verdant screeched at the sight. I forgot her other ovary!
Verdant bolted forth, trying to possibly outrun the oversized orb. When he saw the titanic yolk was gaining on him, an idea came to the panicking pony.
“Faust be with me!” Verdant clenched his tech before taking a hop and landing on his back. Without the gravity charm in the suit’s hooves touching the fleshy floor, gravity and the changeling queen’s squatting position allowed him to accelerate as he slid down the oviduct. The giant yolk seemed to vanish from sight before he slid into the shelling gland, making the stallion crash face first into the shell of a freshly formed egg.
Verdant groaned and pulling his head from the smooth surface, trying to regain his bearing. Just as he managed to make his vision stable again, the shell gland started to tighten around the egg, pushing it and its passenger downwards into the vaginal canal.
“Kettle, come in!” Verdant exclaimed as Chrysalis’ vaginal muscles prepared to expel the egg. “Your Porridge delivery is at the back door!”
With a groan from the colossal queen, Verdant and the egg were squeezed out of her cloaca, where they landed in the waiting hooves of PB.
Looking up at his comrade, Verdant saw the changeling give him a quick wink. He nodded in response before running along the egg’s surface and crawling into one of PB’s leg holes.
“Calling Papa Bear.” Verdant gave a sigh of relief as he hid in PB’s hole. “Mission accomplished.”
***
Two weeks had passed since Verdant’s mission deep into changeling territory had ended and the shamrock stallion was happily humming to himself as he made the trot home from his early morning grocery trip.
Pushing open the door of his apartment, he was greeted by his chicken taking her place upon his head as he made his way to the kitchen, where a charcoal unicorn stallion and a grey earth pony mare were waiting for him. Barrier rested comfortably in a chair while the mare was cooking something on his stove.
“Hello, Mr. Barrier. Mrs. Melody.” Verdant happily nodded as he placed his saddlebags on the floor. “What brings you—”
“Business as usual, Agent Shamrock.” Barrier interrupted before looking over his shoulder. “You can drop the disguise now.”
“Right,” the mare replied without looking over her shoulder before green flames washed over her, revealing a familiar changeling.
“At any rate, Agent Shamrock,” Barrier leaned back in his chair as Verdant took a seat across from him. “We’re here to provide thanks for your aid in Operation: Eat Your Greens.”
“I still wish you didn’t pick that name.” Verdant gave the unicorn a half-lidded glare, which Barrier replied to with a smirk.
“At any rate, while we can’t grant you anything official, due to the nature of this mission, we do have a reward for you.” Barrier’s horn flared for a moment before a briefcase popped into existence, startling Pizza and making her fly away.
With another flaring of his horn, the clips on the case opened up, revealing a rather large collection of coins.
“Here are two million bits in five-hundred non-sequential coins, for a total of four thousand.” Barrier then closed the briefcase and slid it over to the stunned stallion. “Feel free to keep the briefcase. I got it cheap.”
“Thank you, sir…” Verdant happily nodded and took the case. With that done, he then looked past Barrier to the changeling at his stove. “But why did you bring Peanut Butter here?”
“I wanted to thank you personally since what you did likely saved a bunch of changeling lives.” She flashed Verdant a fanged grin. “So I had Barrier knock me out and bring me here so I could cook some breakfast for us.”
“Ah, thank you, Peanut Butter. You didn’t have to do this.” Verdant smiled and leaned over to the stallion across from him. “Does this mean I blew your real name to her?”
“Nah, she already knew mine.” Barrier dismissively waved and leaned back. “She just called me Agent Arcane to be professional. Still, she doesn’t know your name for your potential safety.”
“Alright, I’ll remember that.” Verdant fell back into his chair as a ding came from the stove.
“All done!” ‘Peanut Butter’ happily called out as she put some green food on three plates and placed them on the table with her magic before taking a seat. “Alright guys, let’s dig in!”
As she happily dug into her food, Verdant and Barrier could only stare at it.
“Peanut Butter,” Verdant tilted his head to the side as he closely examined what was on his plate. “What is this?”
“An omelet. Why do you ask?” She replied as she continued to wolf down her serving.
“But why is it green?”
“Well duh, all changeling eggs are green,” PB casually answered, not bothering to look away from her meal.
“Wait, you made these out of Chrysalis’ eggs?!” Verdant and Barrier pulled back in their chairs in shock.
“Well of course,” PB pulled back as she finally looked at the stunned pair. “I did say her eggs would only be good for omelets, didn’t I?”
