>Enter Canterlot Castle. >Guards return beaten up and discouraged. >”What happened to you? Was it the Changelings?” Celestia asks. >Lead Soldier shakes his head. >”No your highness, it was some sort of being that walked on two legs and had weird things where its hooves should be!” >Celestia is now confused as well as concerned. >”What else can you tell me about this creature?” >”Well,” started a second guard. “It was big. Bigger than you, your highness.” >”How big?” >”At least a couple of heads taller than you, your highness,” added a third soldier. >This was a creature that no pony had ever seen before. >And there was a chance it was working with-! >”That's not all, Your Highness. It had strange devices on its wrists. When it brought them together, it changed into some sort of green, faceless monster!” >Now Celestia is really concerned. >”If this creature appears again, I want you to run. Don't put yourselves in danger from an unknown force.”   >Back to you, the main character. >After finishing the mining of huge chunks of the Spirit Emerald, you decide to seek out Chrysalis yourself since she just seemed to vanish. >Think back to glowing green tunnel. >Why the fuck not? >It isn't like she can do anything to stop you now. You're a Power Ranger! >Well, that's your reasoning. >Head back to hole. >Nut up, Anon, it's time to be a man.   “Queen Chrysalis?”   >You yell down the tunnel. >A gasp. >You found her. >You head down the tunnel, the glow from your second-rate Zeonizers illuminating  the path until you reach the glow again. >Turn corner. >Oh shitballs. >Hundreds of eggs. >Alien comes to mind. >You see Chrysalis with her back facing to you. >”I told you this was none of your business.” >Her voice is stone serious. >Clicks. >Those are Changeling eggs. >No King means no fertilization. >No baby bugs. >Not an entomologist, but know enough from science class as a kid to guess what's going on. >The anger begins to build in your chest. >With no Ponies the King would still be alive.   “It just became my business. Hundreds of lives, never to be because of those Ponies.”   >”What could you do?” >Her tone is now bitter and angry, more so than usual.   “A pony for a Changeling.”   >You say, the building rage evident in your voice. >You have one question to ask.   “Where are they?”   >”Far to the North is Canterlot, their capital city.” >Her answer carries the same tone, although curiosity starting to creep into her voice.   “I have a plan. I'll need some of that Emerald. I'll link the Morphers to it and create a fast travel system.”   >You were talking out of your ass, but you guessed it would work. >It was magic after all. >She looks to you. >While you can see the hate in her eyes, her expression is one of disbelief. >She takes some time to answer. >”Very well. Take what you need; we have plenty.” >You nod and leave her to her silent mourning.   >Next day. >You finish finding a good sized crystal. >Touch epic morphers to it. >Sparks. >Focus on two things: North and Ponies. >Feel yourself turned into energy. >Reappear in desert, more tan than reddish-brown. >See what looks like small settlement to the north.   “Kind of small for a capital city.”   >You mutter.
