"So..." Twilight said as she stared at her friends.

"So what?" Spike said. "Are we going to stand here all day, or go inside and have me make some tea?"

"That would be wonderful." Twilight said.

"Then let us talk in my chambers." Celestia said.

As they trotted across the small patch of gardens, Twilight quietly thought to herself.

'Now... all that's left is to tell the town. Get back to normal and get some brain bleach to erase all of this from my memory.'

She didn't notice Spike waving his claw in her face until he bonked her on the nose. Startled she flew back into a tree.

She stuck her head out, glaring battle axes at her assistant as he stood there, eyes wide with a large smile.

"Spike! Don't do that, especially when I'm thinking!" She yelled as she walked down the trunk. She froze as she stepped onto the ground. "Did I just walk down a tree?" She looked down at her hooves. "Fascinating..."

"Twilight that was amazing!" Spike said as he ran over. "You actually flew into that tree."

"I... I did?" She looked at her wings skeptically. "I guess I did."

"Hey, that means I could teach you some flying lessons." Rainbow Dash said walking over.

"No!" Twilight yelled. "I-I mean, that's alright. But I don't think my..." She looked back at herself. "...Wings, can handle your-"

"Torture." Spike finished.

"Hey!" Rainbow said. "My training is easy. It’s only the weak ones who can't handle my awesomeness."

"Dash," Spike began rolling his eyes. "Snow Flake had to go to the hospital after you tried to make him complete one of your courses. And that was after he had to fly with a saddle full of cement."

"Well fine! You can ask Fluttershy, she was able to do it. Isn't that right Flutter's?"

Fluttershy stopped dead in her tracks before falling limp again.

"See! Every time she remembers it she passes out from happiness." Rainbow Dash said rubbing a hoof against her chest.

"Rainbow, she passed out after remembering the physical exhaustion." Twilight said. "I was the one who had to wake her up."

Rainbow gave an indignant huff as they went.

The garden looked the same, green grass cut to one inch, bushes cut in squares, flowers of every color dotting the ground, tree's who's leaves slumped down to the ground and the empty pedestal. The very same pedestal that once housed the only draconequus in existence.

'I actually miss him, now that this has happened to me.' Twilight thought as she walked past it. 'No! He was evil! He doesn't deserve anything but a pickaxe to the face!' She thought angrily.

As the hall was coming into view, a group of guards came into view. The new colts and mares, in training.

Celestia nudged Twilight and nodded to the guards as they stopped.

Twilight looked down at her hooves before smiling slightly; she closed her eyes and was soon enveloped in a flash of lavender fire.

She saw Celestia smiling at her, but she was also nearly eye level with her.

"Who am I know?" Twilight asked.

She looked behind her and saw a crescent moon cutie mark on her blue coat.

'So this is what her plot looks like... wait. Why did I think that!?' Twilight felt her cheeks heat up.

"Luna, your cheeks are turning purple." Celestia said smiling. "Is everything alright?"

"We art fine, dear sister." Twilight responded, mimicking Luna's accent and voice perfectly. "Tis' nothing to worry yourself over."

"I'm impressed. You speak better old Equish than her." Celestia said. "Let's just hope we don't run into the real Luna, or else things won't be so pretty."

The fake Luna's eyes widened as she splayed her ears back.

"Let us continue." Celestia said trotting ahead again.

They neared the guards, as they did, they all respectfully bowed to Celestia and the fake Luna.

"Princess Luna! Princess Celestia!" One guard called out rushing over, a crazed look in his eyes as he shakily held his spear.

"Yes?" Celestia asked. "Is something wrong? You seem troubled."

"I-It’s the changeling... its-its escaped!" He said, nervously as he held his spear at a guard who came to close. "Stay back!" He yelled as the guard ran off.

"T-The what?" Twilight asked eyes narrowing.

"T-The changeling, your highness. It’s escaped when we were transporting it to another room. We've already set up a defensive barrier around the castle, not seconds after it did so. Is there anything else we can do? Besides check the guards and staff?"

"Aye, there is something..." She hissed. "Find that miserable waste of air and bring it to us! Or we will find it ourselves."

"Yes your highness!" He saluted before running off, the whole way yelling at other ponies who came to close.

"Twilight, why do you want to see it?" Celestia asked nervously.

"We need answers, and I'm going to get them." She said as she changed back. "It did this to me, and it should know how to turn me back."

"Twilight, is that the only reason?" Celestia asked putting a hoof on her shoulder.

"Yes." She spit out. "No matter how much I want to bash its little head in, I can't. It has the cure and I will get it." She closed her eyes before being enveloped in a ring of purple flames.

Fluttershy was just getting up when she saw the red dragon from the mountain and promptly, fainted again.

"Let’s see how loyal it is, to its so called, 'new queen.'" She growled.

She sprinted ahead, leaving the others in a trail of dust.

'When I find that thing!' She thought angrily. 'I'll get answers and then I'll make it pay!'

The sound of guards was heard; they were shouting and converging to one area.

She sped ahead, brushing them to the side. She didn't bother looking at the surprised looks from them as she plowed her way through and into the castle.

'He's somewhere close, I know it.'

She sniffed the air twice, her head turned to the hallway on her left.

She realized she couldn't fit so; she turned back into a changeling and began running. She swerved past guards, even spears, arrows and swords as they gave chase. The hallway's she went down looked familiar, so familiar she knew where to go.

When she reached the mass of guards, she froze, not out of how many of them were there but where they were.

It was the same room, where all of it began. The same marble floor now smeared with red and green blood, the green walls and the wooden door.

Her anger only grew as she heard the voice of that thing. It was calling out to her.

"Queen! Help!" It yelled from behind the door.

Her horn ignited as she let her magic flow freely. Every guard and unlucky piece of furniture was pushed to the side as she walked towards the door. The unicorn guards tried to fight back but failed within seconds.

Her breathing grew ragged and forced as she felt tears well up in her eyes. Her teeth started to hurt from how hard she was clenching them.

She was now at the door. She put a single hoof on it and pushed.

What she saw gave her an internally smile, but she didn't show it on the outside.

The changeling had the tip of a spear in his left fore-leg, one of his wings was missing and his horn was chipped.

She slammed the door behind her as she locked it into place.

"You..." She growled lowly.

"New queen!" It said happily said as it bowed at her hooves.

"Don't call me that!" She yelled, startling the changeling.

"Queen not happy? Did Drone do something wrong?" It asked fearfully.

"Wrong!? Wrong!?" She yelled, ignoring the tears clouding her vision. "You know what you did wrong!"

"N-No... I don't! Drone swears!" It said backing away.

"You raped me!" She yelled. "You forced me and then turned me into a changeling! You ruined my life!" She slumped to her haunches and cried into her hooves. "I'll never meet a nice colt... everypony will hate me... I'll be an outcast and then banished... I'm a monster." She looked up, eyes white with arcane power. "And it’s your fault!"

She shot out a small burst that hit him in the side. He smashed against the wall, cracking the stone before falling back down.

"I want to know how to reverse this! Now!" She yelled.

"I-I can't... “ He whispered. ”Drone cannot undo transformation."

"W-what?" She asked, her eyes returning to normal.

"Drone cannot undo change. Not strong enough or allowed to." He said getting up shakily.

"S-so I'm stuck like this...?" She asked looking at the floor, teas dripping off her muzzle.

The door was pushed inwards slightly; the sounds of the guards were heard.

"Drone sorry, but it was old queen’s orders..." He lowered his head. "Drone could not go against old queen. It is impossible."

"Do you know how to turn me back atleast?" She asked keeping her gaze to the floor.

"...No." He replied simply.

The door caved in, multiple guards came rushing in. They held the changeling to the ground before pointing spears and swords at Twilight.

'I'm stuck like this...' She thought. 'Forever. And it’s because of him!'

A guard in gold armor walked between the two. "You two are charged with-” He started but never got to finish.

Twilight's head snapped up, her eyes white with power. Her horn ignited and grabbed the changeling from the guards grasp. She swung her head to the side and sent him barreling through the guards.

He went out and slid across the floor, his ears were ringing, his leg didn't feel any better and he landed on his good wing.

"You monster!" She yelled coming out from the room. "You will pay for what you did to me!"

He shot up and his eyes widened in fear. So he ran.

She gave chase after him. He was fast, but she could keep up with him.

He ran past multiple guards, the whole time dodging the explosive shots fired by Twilight.

He swerved to the left and ran into the kitchen, he ran across the cutting table. Chefs and maids alike, gasping in surprise as he knocked off pots and pans. Spilling the food and other ingredients.

He looked back and saw the doors bust in as Twilight came in. He ran faster.

"Come back here!" She yelled.

He turned to the right and saw two sets of stairs. One was a dark obsidian, the other a pure white, the obsidian one had a purple rug with silver trimming and the other with red and gold trimming. Before he could choose, the ground next to him exploded in ice and rock.

His injured leg was completely encased along with part of his side.

He tried to get up only for twilight to barrel into him; she sunk her horn into his side.

He was thrown against the wall. She snorted in anger as he tried to lift his head; she jumped on him and began to beat away furiously.

"You did this!" She yelled. "You did this to me!"

She saw blood coming from his muzzle, she didn't care. All she wanted was to see him hurt for what he did to her.

She picked him up with her magic and slammed him into the ground, over and over until there was a small crater. She flung him against the wall, holding him neck first with her hooves.

"Why shouldn't I kill you?" She asked coldly. "You turned me into a changeling, ruined my life, had my brother and Rainbow Dash attack me and even have Celestia, my teacher try and cut me open like a high school frog! And worst of all... you raped me! I never asked for this, any of this! And you ruined my entire life in moments! Why shouldn't I kill you!?"

"No... choice..." He choked out before his eyes rolled back.

She let out a frustrated scream as she dropped him and scooted up to the wall opposite of him. There, she buried herself in her hooves and cried.

"Twilight..."

She looked up and saw through hazy vision, Celestia walking up to her. Behind her, dozens of Lunar and Solar guards standing there, even her friends were sitting there; each of them with a look of sorrow and horror on their faces.

"I-I can't change back..." Twilight cried as she wrapped her hooves around Celestia's neck. ”I can never be a pony again... there's no cure."

She felt Celestia's muscles tense but relax.

"Twilight... we will find a cure. And you will be a pony again, I promise." Celestia said wrapping her wings around her student.

"H-How...? He said that there's no way to reverse this." She cried. "I'm going to be a changeling forever..."

"Twilight, we will find a cure. Even if it takes the rest of my own eternity." Celestia said sternly. "But killing him is not going to solve this." She looked back to the crowd of ponies. "Get this... thing," She said coldly. "Medical treatment. I want answer's from it, and I'll never get any if it’s dead. Now move!" She yelled.

Twilight saw two ponies, rush over, they were obscured by her tears but she made out the changeling being carried away.

The last thing she head was the changeling mumbling in unconsciousness.

"No... choice..."

She let out another frustrated scream, making the princess jump back. She fired a bolt of magic at the wall, decimating the stone work and leaving a hole going through four others and into the mountain side.

"Why!?" She yelled at the heavens. "Somepony just end this already! Anypony!" She yelled grabbing a chunk of stone with her magic.

She leveled it with her chest and looked back at her friends, her teacher and her brother.

She sighed as she pulled it back, ignoring the gasps and shock from the others, and plunged it into her chest.

It was the most painful thing that had ever happened to her. She ignored the pain and fell to the ground, clutching her chest, her eyes rolling up.

The last thing she saw before darkness was a white coat of fur running towards her.
