"Ugh, this is so exhausting!" Trixie complained as they trekked through the barren badlands, towards the hive capital. "The Great and powerful Trixie isn't used to such a long distance at once!"
"Well you gotta deal with it. None of us have any magic, and thorax is too nice to just fly away," Starlight answered.
"What about me?" Discord asked.
"What about you?" Starlight replied.
"Can't I just fly away?" Discord asked.
"Yeah, but you are a worshiper of Fluttershy," Trixie answered, making starlight chuckle. Discord hmped as he looked away.
"Well, whatever. No matter what, we still have to get there to save them," Discord said.
"That might be the nicest thing you've ever said," Starlight said, faking being proud.
"Uhh, guys?" Thorax tried to get their attention.
"Hey! At least I didn't force people to be the same! I embrace variety!" Discord exclaimed.
"No, you embrace chaos," Trixie corrected him.
"That too. Still, everyone can be what they want to be in my world," Discord responded.
"If this was your world, you'd be coaching minotaurs and old ladies wearing donuts on their head how the play Shuffleboard and croquet," Starlight said.
"AHH! THE RULES OF SHUFFLEBOARD HAPPEN TO BE VERY COMPLEX!" Discord yelled at her, swinging his claw around.
"Umm, guys?" Thorax tried again.
"No it is not! You Place the puck, you move the stick, and you hope to get points," Trixie explained poorly the rules of shuffleboard.
"No, you place the puck, the hook the stick around the puck, and swing towards the opposite side of the board, with enough force, not too much and not too little, to get the most points. And croquet is even more Complicated! Don't even get me started on all the moves that could harm you and others that can basically win the game!" Discord explained.
"Oh really? Tell me them then!" Starlight started yelling.
"Done right, you can put a tremendous amount of spin on the ball to go through all the hoops, in a single stroke! But if you miscalculate, by even a planck's length...YOU WILL CRUSH EVERY BONE IN YOUR FOOT!" Discord Yelled.
"What's it called?" Trixie asked.
"THE BONE CRUSHER!" Discord Exclaimed.
"Can we see it?" Starlight asked, a slight smirk on her face.
"Of course not now, but maybe after we leave the bad lands-" Discord was interrupted.
"GUYS!" Thorax yelled.
"What?" They asked.
"What the buck is that?" Thorax asked them, pointing into the sky. Up in the sky, they saw what looked like a massive bird...or something. It was nearing them, with a strange whirring noise.
"Yeah...Discord what is that?" Trixie looked judgingly at the aforementioned god of chaos.
"Hey hey hey, I might be the god of mischief and chaos, but you should know whatever I create is completely ridiculous. That at least makes some form of sense!" Discord explained.
"How? It's a giant camouflaged bird making loud noises," Starlight asked.
"No, It's obviously a form of aircraft. Haven't you heard of planes? They're pretty big in manehatten," Discord explained.
"I know planes. That's not a plane," Trixie said, outlining the object with her hoof. The object then landed on the ground, and it's wings started to slow down and the noise stopped. Suddenly, a part of the object opened up, and out stepped...this thing.
"Uhh...Hello?" Discord asked the thing, as everyone else hid behind him. "Apologizes for my allies behavior. I'm discord, Lord of chaos, may I ask who you are?" The thing started to grab his head, and suddenly, it was revealed it was a helmet.
"I feel like you would sense who I was, Dear God of chaos!" The thing said.
"Wait...SPIKE? Spike the DRAGON?" Discord and Trixie said at the same time, looking at each other right after.
"Yep. That's me!" Spike said, Happily as trixie and discord walked around the small dragon.
"What...what happened to you?" Trixie asked, spike looking confused.
"What do you mean. You said that negatively. This is awesome," Spike answered.
"Wait...spike as in twilight's assistant that went missing after the first changeling attack?" Starlight asked.
"Check Check! After escaping that heck, I ran into a griffon who offered me to become a chaos insurgent. Now, here we are," Spike answered. "So, your heading to take down chrysalis and save the others?" The others were apolled.
"How'd you know?" Starlight asked.
"Eh, I heard you through the Radio. Also, croquet is incredibly complicated," Spike lifted a finger at the ponies.
"See, I told you," Discord bragged.
"Whatever, why are you out here?" Trixie asked.
"Cause It's my job to make sure the mane 6 is ok," Spike answered. "Do you remember when you basically quarantined Ponyville and kicked Twilight out?"
"Uh...Yeah?" Trixie said, embarrassed at her past.
"Yeah. That was me that destroyed the bubble," Spike answered, smirk on his face.
"Wha-What? How?" Trixie asked as spike reached into his pocket.
"MMP, or Magical Magnetic Pulse. Cancels out large amounts of Magic in one area," Spike said, holding a cylindrical object, Trixie looking very intently. "Don't touch it!" Spike said, swatting her hoof away. "That last unicorn that touched this had his magic cancelled for almost a month," Spike explained, as Trixie backed off. Spike shoved it back into his pocket. "Well, come on into the helicopter! We can get there much quicker."
"That's what the big bird thing is called?" Thorax asked.
"Yep. Think of it as a plane that can hover, but is much slower," Spike explained, pushing Trixie and Starlight onto the ship. "Come on God of Chaos, Let's get your butter Pony," Spike said, shoving him into the plane.
"Ok, 2 things. 1, Don't ever call her that again, and 2...actually no, just 1. Don't call her that," Discord said, sitting down.
"Whatever. EY! ANGY AND APATHETIC G! WE GOT SOME GUESTS!" Spike shouted. Suddenly, a blue griffon in a similar uniform appeared through a door.
"You seriously can't yell at us with out actual names?" The Blue griffon said, facepalming as spike chuckled.
"Can't take you seriously when you follow the role!" Spike said, as another griffon burst through the door, fuming.
"SPIKE! I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT!" A rage filled griffon said, trying to grab spike.
"Again, when you live up to the role, it's kinda hard to stop! Just stop being so angy all the time!" Spike said, running off to some other part of the helicopter, gilda following close behind. Our B-team were worried.
"Don't worry about him. This happens all the time. I'm Gallus, main Pilot and Main Defense. Pleasure to meet you," 'Gallus' said, holding out a claw to the B-team. Starlight shook it, reluctantly.
"Same. This is normal here?" Starlight asked.
"Much more normal then you'd think. The other griffon was Gilda. She's Main offense and Co-pilot. She and spike have a massive love hate relation," Gallus said.
"Wait, so does spike have a title or something? Cause if your pilot, and she's Main offense-" Thorax was cut off.
"Spike is Tactician and Book-master. He's also Commander," Gallus explained.
"What? How is he commander? He's like 15!" Trixie asked.
"He's much smarter than you'd think when he's not being an a hole," Gallus said with gritted teeth.
"Wait, so are you guys the only ones here?" Discord asked.
"No, we got 4 others down in the drop zone. Hold on," Gallus said, before clearing his throat. "SHALOM!"
"...What? Isn't that Horsbew?" Starlight asked.
"Yep. Don't worry about it, they're fine with it," Gallus explained.
"How do you know?" Trixie asked.
"Cause one of our captains is Horsbrew. He's basically told us that it's fine," Gallus explained. Starlight took the oppratunity to look around the chopper, and saw a board with a bunch of ponies and creatures. She looked around and saw a small image of...someone with a very wide grin. She looked down at the picture and saw it was titled, "Dale."
"Uh, who's Dale?" Starlight asked.
"If I'm being honest, I'm not sure. He's some dude that lives outside of ponyville. We don't really know what he does in his cabin, but, like, he's really creepy," Gallus explained as 4 other creatures walked through the door.
"Sejak!" The 4 creatures said as the saluted Gallus.
"Yeah, anyway here's our main troops. This is Michael, our main troop. He's an espionage expert and incredible at duel wielding," Gallus said, gesturing to the dark changeling. "We call him, 'Light's out,'"
"Spies are epic!" Michael shouted.
"This is Luz, demolitions and ballistics expert. Believe me, she knows her stuff," Gallus said, gesturing towards the green dragon. "We call her, 'Bombs Away,'"
"I love Bombs. Bombs are fun," Luz said very seriously.
"Yeah. She's a bit weird too. uhh, this is Apollyon. He's basically good at almost everything. He's practially back up for everything," Gallus explained, gesturing to the grey, red, and black...something. They think it's a dragon. "We call him, 'omnia.'"
"I'm what you call, multi-everything," Apollyon said.
"Yeah. We also don't really know what species he is, and he won't tell us. Anyway, last is Vexal. She's also good at espionage, and has the rank of phantom," Gallus explained, gesturing to a purple changeling. "We call her, 'Supernatural.'"
"Ghosts are real!" She exclaimed.
"Wait, phantom? What does that mean?" Discord asked.
"Basically, she's really good at long distances," Gallus said. "She's also Spike's GF," He slipped out.
"HEY!" Vexal shouted as she chased him out of the room, blushing intently.
"Wow. Spike already has a Girlfriend? And she's like 2 years older," Starlight questioned.
"Yes! I'm so much better than all of you!" Spike yelled as he was pushed out into the main area.
"Anyway, our team name is Omega-17, "Storytellers." We're in charge of making sure that the mane 6 are safe. As spike probably explained, we're probably the cause most villains fail," Gallus explained.
"Yep! We're the best!" Spike yelled.
"Wait, so, do you guys also have code names or something?" Trixie asked.
"Yes...ish. I'm called, "Blue wing," But as you can see it wasn't exactly a creative name. Spike is...*sigh* and I'm quoting what he wrote himself, "Indestructible Dragon inside of Treachery." However, we just ironically call him I.D.I.O.T," Gallus explained, chuckling.
"It's Not funny!" Spike yelled.
"Anyway, Gilda is, "Omega Bird," as, she is main offense, she is really powerful at being...well a big target and a big deal," Gallus said, as Gilda glared at him.
"Whatever. So are we going for the hive now?" Gilda asked.
The helicopter whirred as it flown closer and closer to the hive.
"Ok guys. I got a plan ready," Spike said, as everyone sat in the drop zones.
"Ok, Gallus, you stay outside. If we need you, I'll yell out Signal 7," Spike explained.
"Gotcha,"
"Gilda, Michael, and Apollyon. You storm inside and try to find where the mane 6 are. If you find them, yell out signal 5," Spike continued.
"Yes Sir!" Michael and Apollyon shouted.
"Got it," Gilda said.
"Vexal, you go inside and disguise as you without a suit on. With no difference between you and the others, they will not care. If you find something, shout Signal 6," Spike continued.
"Yes Sir!" Vexal Shouted.
"Luz, you and me will scale up the hive and blow a part of it off to get inside. We'll set of a decoy on the opposite end of the hive. We'll shout signal 4 if we find anything," Spike explained.
"Yes Sir. I love blasts," She said, creepily.
"Yeah, ok. If anyone needs any help, remember, shout signal 2. We'll try to locate eachother," Spike explained.
"Yes Sir!" Most of them said.
"Wait, what about us?" Starlight said, walking through the door with the rest of the B-Team.
"Ahh, right. Hold on," Spike said as he opened a cabinet and pulled out rings. "Take these and head inside on your own, or with someone one else," Spike said as he gave the B-team rings.
"What are these?" Trixie asked.
"MA's, or Magic Amplifiers. They're basically the opposite of the MMPs. Instead of absorbing, they enhance," Spike explained, as he pulled his mask on.
"Why not give us one of those, cannon things you guys have," Starlight asked, making the whole chaos team laugh.
"Oh, Oh, that's cute. No offense, but I wouldn't trust any of you with a regular cannon, much less a logicer. Not even a USP," Spike said, laughing all the way through. Starlight felt embarrassed. "Ok, Ok, everyone ready?"
"Yes Sir!" They shouted.
"Alright. LET'S CAUSE SOME MAYHEM!" Spike said as the bottom of the helicopter flipped open, letting everyone fall 10 ft down.
"Everyone remember their positions?" Spike asked.
"Yes Sir!" Everyone shouted.
"That's what I like to hear! Now, chaos is at their doorstep! Let's...OPEN...THE...DOOR!" Spike shouted as he and Luz headed to one side of the Hive.
Codename : Lights Out
Michael, Apollyon, and Gilda ran towards the entrance of the hive.
"So, How do we wanna do this Offenses?" Apollyon asked Gilda.
"We run inside, and shoot everything," Gilda said.
"...Yeah, Alright, That works," Apollyon said.
"What? No guys! We need to take at least some precaution!" Michael shouted.
"What? Concerned about your species?" Gilda laughed.
"Yes...kinda, but also cause we got another changeling here," Michael said as he pointed at thorax.
"Oh. Came with us, huh?" Apollyon asked.
"Uh, yeah, but now I don't know if I should've," Thorax said and gilda laughed.
"Don't worry dude. We're not genocidal killing machines...Well, except for the Hostile Dragon invasion. Those guys sucked," Gilda recollected.
"Hey, let's just cause some havoc, as we do, ok?" Apollyon said, placing the welder.
"Alright then. Let's get started," Michael said, activating the lighter...this is gonna take a while.
Codename : Supernatural
Vexal was experienced in stealth. She was a great fighter. She can definitely hold her own in, almost anything.
This was one of those things that she couldn't.
You might've not known this, but female changelings are...uh...pretty gay.
I know.
Technically, changelings aren't really restricted to their sexual preferences, but, I mean, imagine you were the only one of your gender that wasn't gay. Think about it, cause that's how Vexal is now.
Guy Changelings usually aren't the same...for some reason. They're usually just striking out on the females, or aren't even at the hive. Some are gay, but that's not important right now.
Anyway let's take a look- ok, let's go and see what the Literal idiots are doing...
Codename : I.D.I.O.T
"Ok...Luz, how far are you up on the hive?" Spike asked Luz through his radio.
"About 70 meters sir!" Luz responded.
"Ok...Remember, make your explosion count. As soon as you see a changeling through the hole, fly over the hive and to me. I'll set off the smaller explosion," Spike explained.
"Yes sir!" Luz said, before turning off her radio. "Oh...this is gonna be good," Luz started the timer on the...about...10 tons of TNT attached to the hive.
Let's just say...the sky was already orange, but now, it's about the shade of those stupid gender reveal parties down in Florihoof.
"What the heck was that!?" Luz heard a changeling yell as she stuck to the side of her explosion.
"Was that a lightning strike?" Another changeling posited. Luz hurried back to spike's location, planting smaller explosions along the way.
"Spike!" Luz said, diving down towards her commander.
"QUIET!" Spike whispered as loud as he could. "You do know they can still hear!" Spike said.
"Oh yeah...Sorry Sir!" Luz quietly said. Luz might be a demolitions expert, but spike was terrifying, even for her.
"It's fine. Alright, ready?" Spike asked luz, hovering over the plunger to start the bomb.
"Oh yeah...Let's cause some chaos..."
"You've said that live, 5 times already dude," Luz interrupted.
"Really Luz? Really? Great, you ruined the moment," Spike complained.
"Sorry, but it's not my fault your unoriginal," Luz continued.
"I've literally used every term for chaos I can think of. Mayhem, Havoc, Madness, Turmoil, I've even used disruption, disarray, and even pandemonium! The least you could do it just let me do what I can," Spike continued.
"Ok, ok, sure. Whatever dude. Go ahead," Luz accepted.
"Thank you. Now," Spike cleared his throat. "Let's cause some chao- Nope. Doesn't work. Moment's over."
