Chrysalis was sitting on her restored throne, gazing at her dark, cold throne room since her hive was now dark, gloomy and scary again. After escaping from Tartarus with the others and helped attack Twilight and leaving her in such horrible condition, she and several menacing changelings including Elmo have attacked the Hive and took it back from Thorax by force, causing the peaceful and most merciful changeling to flee the hive with several others that was still on his side while the other changelings were forced to surrender to the demented changeling queen. She have powered up after using Grogar's old bell, her eyes were sickeningly green with her pupils pure black, her crown have grew to shape like Celestia's crown, and she was wearing two pears of glass, eerie green slippers on her four hooves. Her eerie blue/green hole ripped wings also grown to be like of a dark butterfly.
For the past five years Chrysalis and the other evil ones were terrorizing Equestria, scaring the ponies and other creatures and tearing down their homes and attacking the rest of the world, she and the other changelings feed on the ponies love and killing any that repels much to the enslaved changelings' horror and she had this sick twisted desire to torment any prisoners she and her changelings capture, torturing them to no end. Chrysalis had no regret for the torment and horror she and the others were putting Equestria and the other places through, and she really enjoyed beating the daylight out of Twilight after ripping out her wings and cut off her horn on that fatal day she and the other villains attacked the lavender alicorn princess, having no remorse for what happened that day.
After taking back her hive from Thorax, she had her throne rebuilt and restored back to how it was before it has been destroyed by Thorax's love along with the magic of friendship, only she made her throne stronger and powerful and managed to block off all the magic, even the magic of friendship, while only changeling magic remained. Chrysalis had her hive and her subjects decontaminated so much to remove the magic of friendship, changing her subjects back to how they were before they started sharing their love with other creatures, horrifying black changelings with holes all over them, and they were always craving for love, their hunger getting the better of them. The Changeling Hive was back to being a dark, cold, gloomy kingdom with no living plant or tree because the plants were all destroyed and the trees all chopped down. Chrysalis had overwritten all of Thorax's laws, replacing them with her own which were all dark with the penalties so horrifying.
Any changeling that objects to her authority were either tortured and banished out to the Badlands to suffer or were sentenced to be executed by hanging. Chrysalis have gone insane over the five years, abusing the ponies and other creatures, torturing her subjects and punishing them so harshly if they don't serve or carry out their queen's orders properly.
Chrysalis was the most evil and merciless out of all the evil ones that have brought terror and pain to the ponies and their allies and destruction to all their homes. She enjoyed the suffering Equestria and the rest of the world was going through the most and she have even managed to capture Starlight and had her tortured severely, making her bleed and cough out blood as her willingly changelings attacked the light purple unicorn mare with magic and weapons like lasers, knives, spike-bats, etc. Chrysalis even stabbed Starlight in the chest hard after severely burning her with her magic and chopped off her horn to prevent her from using magic. Chrysalis had kept Starlight in her dungeon for a few weeks. Starlight nearly have died but some brave ponies have came into the hive and managed to save her at the last second, getting her out of the hive and taken into a hospital to get better much to Chrysalis' rage and sheer anger. She had the ponies that have saved Starlight executed in the gallows after having them badly tortured by her evil changeling minions.
Elmo and the other changelings that have tried to attack the CMC and Zecora flew into the throne room, approaching their queen.
"Ah, my queen..." Elmo said as he and the others bowed down to her in respect.
"General Elmo," Chrysalis said as she flew down her throne and approached her minions, her tone was cold but hopeful. "I sure hope that your patrol around Ponyville, or rather what's left of it, was a success."
"Uh, well..." Elmo stammered a bit, afraid of how his queen and leader will react once he tells her the news. "The patrol was going pretty well, until we ran into three certain fillies."
"We tried to capture them, my queen," another changeling added. "But that foolish zebra from the old forest that the Storm King had his minions burn down have came to their rescue, though we have managed to knock out the tomboy pegasus before the stupid zebra stopped us and took them away."
The changelings were all worried for how their queen was going to react. Chrysalis did gotten angry, but was eerie calm, which only frightened the other changelings even more.
"So, those three fillies and Zecora have gotten away?" Chrysalis asked calmly, but with a hint of anger in her voice.
"U-Uh, yeah, afraid so, your majesty," Elmo finished nervously.
"Elmo," Chrysalis said, gesturing her right fore hoof. "Please come here."
Elmo nervously approached his queen and superior, he didn't like the sound of this.
Chrysalis growled in anger as she slapped Elmo hard across the face repeatedly.
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE AND STUPID!?!" she exploded in rage, continuing to slap Elmo with little to no mercy. "YOU ARE ONE OF MY MOST LOYAL AND FIERCE MINION, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SUBDUE THREE LITTLE FILLIES OR A MERE ZEBRA THAT USED TO LIVE OUT IN THE EVERFREE FOREST UNTIL THOSE STORM CREATURES DESTROYED HER HOME!?!"
Elmo screamed in pain, tears threatening to spill down his face as the enraged changeling queen continued to slap him several more times, but crying would only make the deranged changeling queen even more angry, so he struggled not to cry. The other changelings could only watch in horror, seeing their leader slapping their general so mercilessly, they wanted her to stop, but begging the queen for mercy always results in either life imprisonment, eternal banishment or even sometimes the death penalty, so they didn't say anything.
Eventually, Chrysalis released Elmo as he fell onto the floor, she glared down at him coldly. Elmo had a few bruises and swells from where Chrysalis have hit him.
"And as for the rest of you," Chrysalis snarled at the other changelings. "I honestly expected better from you!"
The changelings whelped as Chrysalis slapped them each like she did with Elmo, but only once and not as hard. Chrysalis then scowled at Elmo.
"You better do a better job and capture any intruders getting in your way next time, Elmo," Chrysalis said calmly, but coldly. "And I want those three little brats and their stupid zebra friend captured and brought to me, is that understood?"
Elmo gotten up, shaking a bit from being slapped so badly, but nodded as he gave his queen a salute.
"Y-Yes, my queen," he said quietly and carefully. "Crystal clear."
"Good," Chrysalis nodded, still glaring as she pointed out through the entrance of the throne. "Now leave my throne room at once! You are all dismissed!"
Elmo and his sworn of changelings all left the throne room to go into the medic to get Elmo's injuries treated before they could resume duty. The other changelings weren't too injured thankfully though.
After awhile, Chrysalis have decided to go down to into the dungeon with two changeling guards escorting her. She had a lot of prisoners, and the cells were made out of green sickly unbreakable changeling slime/goo, which prevents magic from working. Some prisoners were ponies, other were dragons, and many of the prisoners were only children. The prisoners were all been tortured by then and were all so miserable. A little pink earth pony filly was crying her eyes out, missing her mommy and daddy.
"Your parents are gone, little one!" Chrysalis snarled at the filly irately, slamming on her gooey cell. "They have been killed trying to fight some of my changelings! So, stop that pathetic whining, or else I will break your little hooves and beat you up to a bloody pulp!"
The little filly was frightened hearing Chrysalis' threat, curling herself into a ball, whimpering quietly.
"Silence!" one of the changeling guard threatened as he slammed on the cell, aiming his spear at the filly, making her silence completely out of fear.
Chrysalis hissed at her angrily before continuing on her way, and soon she arrived to a special black gooey but indestructible cell which held Ocellus in. Ocellus have grew a bit during the past five years and was now older, but was still pretty young. The changeling queen hissed menacingly at the young changeling, laughing manically. Ocellus shivered in fear seeing her old queen. She have been reverted back into her old black form like all the other reformed changelings, but somehow she still had the magic of friendship in her, and she felt no endless hunger for love. Ocellus must have had a strong will that let her fight against all the decontaminations she's been put through. She turned around to face Chrysalis with a frightful look.
"W-What do you want?" she asked timidly.
Chrysalis banged on the cell, hissing again, glaring icily at her prisoner.
"I do wondered why you haven't gotten over that stupid friendship nonsense yet?" she asked coldly. "I would have assumed that after going through so many decontaminations and sessions, you'd be starving for love like the rest of us, and completely friendship free by now!"
"Chrysalis..." Ocellus sighed sadly. "The magic of friendship has saved the hive from a massive love shortage."
"THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP HAVE RUINED THE HIVE!" Chrysalis roared, frightening Ocellus once more. "It did not save the changelings, it has corrupted all of you!"
"Thorax and Starlight have helped us find a better way to live than having to steal love from other creatures to feed ourselves!" Ocellus argued. "You could have joined us and had a better life, but you have chosen to run away and stay on the dark path. Why?"
"Starlight have poisoned your minds with the so-called magic of friendship!" Chrysalis snapped, banging on the gooey bar, hissing. "And Thorax was such a fool to believe that friendship can solve all our problems when it doesn't!"
"But the magic of friendship did make everything better!" Ocellus squeaked, tears streaming down her eyes. "We were able to overcome our hunger by sharing love instead of taking it from other creatures and feeding off of it by force! It have made us even stronger than before."
"IT MADE YOU ALL WEAK AND PATHETIC LIKE THORAX!!!!" Chrysalis screeched, more angered than ever. "I wasn't going to let myself become weak too!"
Ocellus never felt so heartbroken seeing the changeling she once called her queen falling into insanity. She felt like crying but she managed to hold back her tears.
"N-No," she managed to say. "It made us become better than how we used to be, and Starlight have given you a chance to turn good like we have and become a better leader to all of us. But you rejected her so coldly and ran away, and then after what you and those other four evil ones did with Grogar, Princess Twilight have sent you five to Tartarus after sparing you from a fate much worse and was willing to eventually let you out to be given a chance to repent of your sins and atone for your crimes and even embrace the magic of friendship, you could have accepted it and learn from your mistakes and allow friendship into your life, but no, you just had to choose to escape instead and stay on the evil path and have injured Twilight so badly and nearly killed her on that fatal day where it should have been the day she'd be officially be crown the new ruler of Equestria, not to mention rejecting friendship once again."
Chrysalis only snarled in response. She did not want to hear anymore of this friendship nonsense. She attempted to turn away from Ocellus.
"H-Hey..." the young changeling managed to say again. "How did you guys gotten out of Tartarus to begin with, anyways?"
"Well," the changeling queen turned around to face her prisoner and began explaining. "We had to do some nasty things to secure our freedom..."
Flashback: Five Years Ago
It has been just a few days, three to be extract, since the five members of Grogar's legion of doom have been taken to Tartarus after the fatal battle, placed in anti-magic cages to prevent them from using magic to escape and they were heavily guarded. They have healed from their injuries having to give them their powers to Grogar just fine and didn't really care about the old goat's fate, knowing that he deserved it for how he treated them when they were serving him, but they were still angry that they were defeated once again by Twilight and friends and their magic of friendship and having to come to Tartarus to serve time for their crimes including aiding Grogar in his plans, especially after what they had to endure from him. They were in their cages, fuming quietly or ranting furiously. Tirek has been reverted back into his weak and elderly form.
"Stupid Twilight!" Chrysalis raged, banging on the bars of her cage. "Stupid elements of harmony! STUPID FRIENDSHIP!!!! I hate Twilight and all her friends and their allies including Starlight Glimmer for ruining our plans!!!! They think they can stop us by sending us here, but one day, I will destroy them all for sure, and make all of Equestria and the other lands suffer as we take everything THEY HOLD DEAR!!!!!!!!"
The other four finches a bit hearing her scream out the last three words.
"Yeah yeah," Sombra groaned, rolling his eyes. "But first, we will have to find a way out of here, and so far we aren't having much luck!"
"Ugh!" Tirek grunted. "I have been here for over a thousand years, you'll get used to it."
"Man, I hate this place!" Storm King complained, crossing his arms. "It's no fun or fair to be trapped in a cage living in such a dark, cold, damp place! I think I would have preferred to go back to being a shattered statue."
"Well, at least we're all together and alive," Cozy replied calmly, sitting in her small, cold cell, it wasn't as warm as she said it was, but on the inside, she was truly furious, she never wanted to come back to Tartarus.
"Shut up Cozy!" Chrysalis snapped at the little filly. "You're not helping make our escape plan any easier!"
"What's the point in even trying to breakout?" Tirek asked, gently rubbing the beard of his chin. "I have escaped once after waiting a thousand years, and I ended up being sent back here by Twilight and her friends after they defeated me with the magic of friendship!"
"There has to be a way out!" Chrysalis argued, having none of Tirek's words. "I refuse to spend another minute here!"
"Ugh!" Sombra groaned, slamming his head on his cage. "Chrysalis has been going on like this since we were put in here! I'm not sure how much longer I can take with this insanity!"
"Oh please," Storm King grunted. "Like we would be able to escape anytime soon, security here has gotten more secure thanks to that lousy stallion brother of that pesky pretty pony princess! AND I HATE PRETTY!!!!"
"Oh golly, you guys are no fun!" Cozy pouted, crossing her fore hooves.
"The four of you are so annoying!" Tirek snapped. "You all get on my nerves with your content bickering!"
"SHUT UP TIREK!!!!" Chrysalis screeched at the red centaur, banging on her cage again, showing her lusted eyes. "You are not in any position to lecture us after you interrupted my speeches by grabbing my mouth with your gross hands twice!"
"Well, excuse me for not wanting to listen to you ranting while my head was hurting!" Tirek retorted, making the crazed overthrown changeling queen even more enraged.
"Quiet!" Flash Sentry shouted, standing from several hooves away from the captive villains. "I am pretty sure you guys don't want to experience what happens when we have to use our spears on our prisoners."
"Look Chryssie," Cozy sighed, trying to be as patient as she could be. "The point is that we are not going to get out of here anytime soon, so you may as well get used to it."
"Yeah," Storm King sighed heavily though was still mad. "And even if we do break out, those stupid ponies and their wrenched allies will just put us back here, or worse..."
"Shut up Storm King!" Chrysalis barked. "And Cozy, if you don't stop calling me Chryssie, I swear I'm gonna-!"
Her angry lecture was suddenly interrupted by Flash Sentry calling out: "Dinner time!"
He and several other guards came, carrying some buckets of food. They approached the cages containing the five prisoners.
"Now," Flash started. "We are going to open your cages to give you the food. So we don't want any funny business!"
The guards raised up their spears to show that he was not kidding before putting them down.
"Okay, we are going to open the cages now," Flash continued. "So please all cooperate for your sake, and mine."
Chrysalis gave him an angry hiss, Cozy pouted, Tirek just crossed his arms, Sombra grunted and Storm King just rolled his eyes in anger, but neither of them said anything.
"Hey," Flash said. "I know this is a harsh punishment and that nopony wants to be here, but the five of you were about to commit genocide with Grogar, and we weren't going to let that slide."
"Well, we did not have a choice in the matter!" Storm King argued. "He made us help him destroy the tree of harmony and he threatened to give us a fate worse than death if we didn't do what he said!"
"That's not a good enough excuse!" Flash snapped. "The damage done to the tree is irreversible, and no amount of enchanted magic can fix the tree! Even if he did threaten you, you could have tried to bypass him, but you didn't even bother, so now you must deal with the consequences!"
The five evil ones could only either scowl or roll their eyes or even turn away from him.
"Come now," Flash continued. "It's not like you'll be here for much longer anyways, maybe just a few more days and some time for Twilight and the others to set up the reformation process for when you do get out, but you all should consider yourselves lucky you even have a chance at getting out and repenting of your sins against Equestria."
The guards then open the cages and proceed on giving the five defeated legion of doom members their food.
"Golly," Cozy said to her fellow comrades. "We are being given a chance even after all we have done. Do you think that maybe we should turn good and atone for our crimes while embracing the magic of friendship?"
"NEVER!!!!" Chrysalis screamed on the top of her lungs, the others including Flash and the guards covered their ears. "I'd rather die than to ever accept this foolish magic of friendship!"
"Yeah," Tirek grumbled in agreement. "If I do get out of Tartarus again, I will go directly straight to Twilight and her foolish friends and finish them off myself after gaining enough magic from earth ponies, pegasuses and unicorns!"
"You will never get the chance! You were beaten twice before by them!" Flash snapped before turning towards Chrysalis. "You have just the attitude, don't you, you overgrown bug?"
"What did you just call me?" Chrysalis growled aggressively, not taking kindly to what Flash called her.
"You heard me, you overgrown bug!" Flash repeated disrespectfully. "You have proven to be a defiance creature with no regards of the consequences or caring of anyone's well being but your own. Perhaps that was how you have lost your hive in the first place."
"That's it!" Chrysalis raged as she lunged out of her cage and tackled onto Flash, attacking him mercilessly.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! SOMEPONY PLEASE HELP GET THIS CRAZY CREATURE OFF OF ME!" Flash screamed, trying to fight back and get Chrysalis off him.
The other guards hesitantly tried to pull Chrysalis away from Flash but screamed as they gotten hurt from her beaming them with her magic which was easily and quickly restored to her the moment she gotten out of her cage. The guards weren't really the strongest and always had problems underestimating their enemies and prisoners, which was how they were always so easily overpowered against dangerous threats in the past.
"Ah well," Sombra grinned as he walked out of his cage. "I can't pass up a good chance to escape and strike again!"
He helped attack the guards mercilessly. The guards all screamed in sheer agony. Chrysalis drained their love and Sombra trapped them in a delusion of their worst nightmares. Tirek also got out of his cage and helped out in the attack against the guards, draining them of their strengths, making himself bigger and stronger, regaining some of his strength, he squeezed some of the weakened guards tightly. Storm King partakes too, beating the guards up with his bare fists since he didn't have his staff or his lightning powers that he have gotten from Grogar anymore and didn't have any other kind of powers or weapons right now. Cozy just sat inside her cage.
"Come on Cozy, what are you doing sitting in your cage?" Chrysalis asked menacingly as she stabbed a guard with her horn before silting another guard's throat open. "This is your big chance to take down these lousy guards and may finally get out of this wrenched place again!"
"G-Golly," Cozy stammered. "I don't know, I'm already in enough trouble as it is."
"What?" Tirek asked stunned, punching a guard in the face before sucking out his magic and strength and ripped his head off. "You nearly drained away all the magic from Equestria, you were on board with Grogar's plans just as much as the rest of us, and you took part in destructing the tree of harmony and the elements of harmony with us and you tried to take out a massive army of creatures that were on Twilight and her friends' side right before Grogar was sucked away into the dimension of darkness with his castle while his soldiers were sent into oblivion and we gotten thrown in here! And now you'd rather stay confined in your tiny cage, because you don't want to risk getting into more trouble? Yeah, like everypony would want to forgive or overlook us anyways because of what happened with Grogar, even with Twilight's choice to so-called offer us to accept her stupid friendship!"
"Well," Cozy hesitated. "Twilight was kind enough to show us mercy when no creature else would and want to give us a chance. If we do this, we may lose that chance."
"Chance? For what?!" Sombra argued as he broke the hooves of a female guard before trapping her in an illusion of her worst nightmare. "To become weak and pathetic like Twilight and all those other fools? As if! I'd rather return to being a spirit trapped in the either than to accept those stupid, idiotic choices Twilight wants to give us!"
"Are you really too weak and hesitant to try and extract revenge on all those that have foiled your plans?" Chrysalis snarled. "Because if you are, then maybe you'd be a lot better off dead!"
Cozy sighed, knowing that Chrysalis, Sombra and Tirek had a valid point. She has been through a lot her entire life, including having an abusive family. She tried to drain away all the magic from Equestria because she felt like nopony cared for her, not even when she enrolled in the school of friendship and Twilight and the others surely didn't help when they defeated her and thwarted her plans and allowed her to rot here in Tartarus, and no pony tried to show her mercy during the final showdown against Grogar either. Cozy nodded with an angry look as she slowly walked out of her cage.
"Okay," she said quietly but with pure fury in her voice, making the other four evil beings smile in satisfaction and sadistically. "I'll help you guys take care of the guards and Cerberus so that we can break out of here and get back at not just Twilight and her friends, but all of Equestria for defeating us and we will make all of them suffer greatly!"
Cozy then walked up behind a guard who looked down at her, she gave him her 'innocent' smile before bashing him hard in the head, resulting in him falling onto the ground unconscious.
"N-No!" Flash cried weakly, fearing for his fellow guards.
Tirek grabbed Flash by the back and drained out his magic and strength, making himself even bigger and stronger. "Hmm, pegasus guard magic tastes delicious!"
Chrysalis sucked out Flash's love, licking her mouth. "Hmm, his love sure does taste so delicious!"
The five villains kept on attacking the guards, beating them up for a few more minutes, they even stabbed the guards including Flash with the spears before finally stopping, Flash and the guards were all badly injured, gashes and wounds were all over, and some guards were even killed in the assault, blood spilling everywhere, and bones snapped, broken, some were even sticking out as the five evil beings broke their bones. The five evil ones laughed manically as they began heading their way to the gates that would lead them out of Tartarus.
Cerberus noticed what was happening and approached the five loose prisoners, growling loudly with his three heads. But the five weren't scared. They lunged at him, attacking him hard without mercy. Chrysalis transforms into a giant bear and strikes Cerberus across the face hard. The other four attack him all over his body. Cerberus tries fighting back, not so easy to take out, he nearly managed to claw them, but in the end, he was beaten when Chrysalis fed off his love, Tirek drained his strength away, Sombra burned him with his dark magic, Storm King broke all three of his necks and Cozy distracting him enough to beat him up pretty badly. Cerberus was still alive though, as he wasn't a creature that can be killed easily. But he have still lost and has failed to stop five of his prisoners from escaping.
The five evil ones then approached the front gate without any more interference, ignoring all the caged up creatures and their content whining. Chrysalis transforms back into her normal form.
"Alright, stand back guys, I gotta use my magic to open the gate." Tirek ordered before beginning to concentrate, using his magic to slowly open the gates, revealing the world outside of Tartarus. "Alright, the minute we step out the gates, we are free."
Soon, the gates open completely and the five escaped prisoners step outside of Tartarus, happy to be free and not imprisoned anymore.
"N-No!" Flash tried to get up to go after the five evil ones, but the gate closed shut behind them, he looked at the beaten guards that were badly injured, he even noticed the dead bodies of those that were killed in the assault, he also noticed Cerberus lying on the ground badly injured, he saw the blood and the stick out bones too, he was feeling fearful. "Oh no, this isn't good! Our guards are all either injured or dead, Cerberus is in a bad condition, bones are sticking up, blood is everywhere and our five prisoners have escaped! They will have a lot worse sentences when we recapture them, and I fear Shining Armor will be furious when he finds out about this."
Outside of Tartarus, the five escaped villains begin walking away from the ancient prison, refusing to ever look back. They noticed the lack of security that was outside.
"Wow," Storm King stated, satisfied. "I can't believe how easy it was to escape. Looks like I was wrong. Tartarus' security isn't so secure after all. They lack the security from both the inside and outside, even with Captain Wimpy and his so-called guards!"
"Yes," Cozy nodded in agreement. "But we will possibly have an even worse fate now if we're caught again."
"It doesn't matter!" Sombra sneered. "All it matters is that we are free now, and hopefully we will extract our revenge soon!"
"Well," Tirek started. "We should go into hiding for now and plan our move, and we should get going before they find us."
"Agreed," Chrysalis nodded as she begin heading away. "And this time, we will triumph over these foolish ponies and their allies, even if we must wipe them out of existence!"
The other four could only flinch with what she have just said, but didn't say anything. They follow behind her.
"Well, golly, I guess we are fugitives now." Cozy thought to herself as she followed the others.
Chrysalis laughs as they go into hiding. "Once we gather enough magic, we are coming after you Twilight Sparkle, and all those who care about you, and you will wish that you have killed us instead of sending us to Tartarus."
End Flashback
Ocellus was in shock and very horrified to hear what Chrysalis and the other evil ones have done to the guards and Cerberus. "Y-You didn't!"
"Oh yes, we surely did!" Chrysalis said with malice in her voice, grinning sadistically. "And we managed to get out so easily afterwards, and of course we had to go into hiding for awhile to plan what we were going to do before we came back to attack Twilight and Canterlot that day! My only regret is that we didn't finish her off since she is still alive and out there plotting against us."
"D-D-Do you realize what you have done?!" Ocellus squeaked in a high pitched voice, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. "Not only you have broken out of Tartarus so that you can attack Twilight so horribly and ruin every creatures' lives including hers, but you have assaulted Flash Sentry and the other guards that were assigned to keep watch over you and the others and even killed some of them. You could well earn the death penalty for all this! Why are you so evil and merciless?"
"Please!" Chrysalis hissed menacingly at poor Ocellus, making her shiver in fear. "You wouldn't understand if I told you."
"B-But..." Ocellus began tearing up. "You didn't have to stoop so low for revenge. I really wish you have seen the light and come back home to join us in harmony! The entire hive have missed you terribly everyday since you ran away from us, we wanted you to come home to us and repent, and become a leader that we would all like and could feel safe with, but you have chosen to stay on the path of evil! Even after you were sent to Tartarus with Cozy, Tirek, Sombra and Storm King for aiding Grogar in his horrifying plot to destruct Equestria, I hoped and prayed that you would repent and one day come home to the hive for a second chance. But it never happened, because you were so blinded in your rage and so obsessed with revenge that you threw away any chance you could've had to change for the better along with your sanity and have done all of this, all for the sake of vengeance."
"So what if I did?" Chrysalis spat coldly. "I did what was necessary to achieve my goals. I have crushed the hopes of every creature with the help of my comrades, we have broken Twilight Sparkle when we have beaten her so badly, and I don't feel any shame for it!"
"B-But..." Ocellus stammered.
"Enough!" Chrysalis barked. "I will not hear any of this silly nonsense about your stupid friendship anymore! I will make you get over this cursed friendship, even if I must have you lobotomized!"
"N-N-N..." Ocellus stammered with her wording. "No leader would cause any of their own subjects to suffer brain damage."
"Shut up!" Chrysalis snarled coldly.
"But-!" Ocellus tried to protest, but she screamed as Chrysalis struck her hard through the black gooey cell.
"I SAID SHUT UP!" The angry queen screamed. "I am so sick and tired of hearing your annoying, high squeaky voice!"
"B-B-But..." Ocellus cracked, feeling a lump in her throat as she was on edge of crying.
"But nothing!" Chrysalis roared in sheer rage, making the poor young one shake in fear. "I'm done here! Enjoy your misery down here for the rest of your pathetic life!"
She then trots away, with her guards following her in pursuit. Ocellus covered her face with her front hooves and began crying. Her fragile heart just couldn't take this madness anymore, and she feared that Chrysalis, the Chryssie she used to look up as a mother figure, was long gone, far beyond reasoning and redemption. Ocellus felt so heartbroken and scared.
Chrysalis have gone into another part of the dungeon and approached a young, red pegasus mare with long purple hair no older than 15. The poor mare had bruises and gashes all over her as she has been tortured by the evil changelings. Chrysalis approached the cell containing the mare and her parents, glaring maliciously, grinning eerily at the mare who could only glare at the evil changeling.
"Queen Chrysalis," she muttered under her breath, panting heavily. "What do you want? Haven't you and your comrades done enough already?"
"I have just come to feed on your love," Chrysalis answered in a cold, motionless tone, opening the cell and begin sucking her mouth for her love, but to her surprise, shock and anger, there were none.
"WHAT!?!" she screeched. "Why can't I gain your love?"
"That's because I don't have any left," the mare answered coldly. "You and your minions have drained every last ounce of my love out of me to feed yourselves, and I have lost my home and my friends because of you and those other monsters, you kept me and my parents in here, tortured everyday!"
Chrysalis screeched and hissed, enraged. "Then I shall have to destroy you!" She fired up her horn and blasted a fatal blow of her sickeningly green magic at the mare, badly injuring her, the mare screamed as Chrysalis killed her with another beam of green magic, burning her into ashes.
"KARA!!!!" The mare's mother cried as she witnessed her daughter being executed and burned to death by the menacing changeling queen, she sobbed on her husband's chest, mourning over her decreased daughter and fearing for her unborn foal as well as she was pregnant, 20 weeks along with a filly even though she was tortured by the evil ones.
"YOU HEARTLESS HAG!" The father of the mare Chrysalis have just killed hollered at the top of his lung, but it hurt him greatly as he was also beaten mercilessly by Chrysalis' minions. "I hope you rot in the deepest depth of Tartarus for all of eternally for what you have done!"
"Sir," Chrysalis hissed indifferently. "If you don't quiet down right now, I promise that you will share the same fate as your daughter!"
He glared at her hatefully, but reluctantly didn't say anything else, though mumbled something under his breath.
"I would drop the mumbling if I were you sir, if you know what's good for you!" one of the guards threatened, aiming his spear.
"Now now," Chrysalis silenced him, making him low down the spear. "They would pose no threat to us anyways as long as we keep them imprisoned like this."
She then closed the cell to prevent the two parents from walking out and locked it tight before leaving with a cold, sadistic smile on her face, the guards followed her, several other guards stayed and kept watch of the prisoners.
A young changeling named Krystal sighed sadly as she saw all the distressed, tormented and beaten prisoners. She couldn't believe that this was all happening and felt sorry for the prisoners and wished there was a way she could help, but she have saw the brave ponies that have saved Starlight from dying by Chrysalis' hooves being tortured and executed so mercilessly and was too scared to even try standing up to Chrysalis, know how merciless the changeling queen gets when anyone tries repelling against her.
"I can't believe this is happening," she said to several other changelings. "The queen was already bad enough before the Grogar battle years ago, but now lives are being taken, while more lives are being ruined in the most horrifying ways possible! I wish there was something we could do to help these poor creatures."
"But if you go against the queen, you will be executed!" An older male changeling named Kolt warned her.
"I know," Krystal sighed. "But those poor creatures didn't deserve this! And the queen is only getting worse everyday!"
"Yeah, the queen has gone insane after Thorax and Starlight have taken the hive from her," another female changeling named Stephanie replied. "And she have become a lot worse after the whole Grogar incident. She didn't take her imprisonment in Tartarus too well, and was part of the attack on Twilight that have resulted the lavender alicorn princess in losing her horn and wings and her life being changed for the worse."
Stephanie have developed hatred against Twilight, the princesses and the other ponies in the past for denying them the chance to feed the hive in the past, but after what have happened on that fatal day, now she wasn't so sure if she should keep hating the ponies or forgive them.
"Yeah," Krystal agreed. "It sucks that the tree of harmony was destroyed when Grogar had our queen and the other four evil ones help him destruct it to make the ponies feel defenseless, thinking that it would destroy their hopes of defeating him."
"He wanted to send Equestria into oblivion and wipe out everycreature for his own sick-twisted benefit!" Kolt cried. "And now our queen and the other evil ones that aided him are doing the same thing along with the sirens and those other evil ones! Well, not exactly of course, but they have killed a lot of creatures and have destroyed so many houses and buildings, not to mention attacking so many cities and villages in Equestria and many other places throughout the world."
"And look at poor Ocellus," Krystal pointed her right fore hoof at the young changeling who was sobbing quietly in her cell. "She clearly didn't deserve this."
"Yeah, and to think that she once considered the queen as a mother," Stephanie nodded, hating how everything have turned out.
"Let's go, guys," Krystal said as she left the dungeon with the other two following her, they approached the medical area.
"Wow," Kolt said as he noticed Elmo in there getting treated. "Sounds like Elmo has gotten hurt."
"The queen has just punished him for failing to capture three little fillies and a zebra," a male changeling named Cliff explained.
"I wouldn't waste any of my breath pitying that cold-hearted jerk after the way he have tormented innocent creatures and treated changelings that are below him and the queen," Krystal muttered under her breath.
"I understand how you feel, Krystal," Stephanie comforted. "But he could easily have us hanged by the queen if we try to go against him, even when hurt."
"Plus, he's her general and the second-in-command of the hive," Kolt replied. "And no one should ever underestimate him."
"Well," Krystal sighed as she walked away. "I guess things can't get any worse."
"Agreed," the other two replied as they followed her.
Krystal begins to think about all the poor creatures that were suffering and struggling against this demented reign of terror Chrysalis and the villains were putting everypony and creature through, and little did the three know that things were only going to get worse, and they had no idea just how bad things were going to be.
