    The Hive - Lypris, Doppelganger and Chrysalis

    (Piano - so everyone can listen to this without getting ear cancer)

    [colour=#009966]"I am sorry Doppel", [/colour][colour=#000000]she said, seeing his expression become filled with sorrow.[/colour][colour=#009966] "I have to be here, this is a fight I have to take, no matter what."[/colour] The queen thought heavily about all of her decisions, was she doing the right thing? Was this the end? Her end?

    [colour=#009966]"I know both of you are great fighters, but you won't be able to stop them for any reasonable time, you will only waste your life and leave behind a broken queen"[/colour], her gaze fell upon Lypris,[colour=#009966] "I want you to help evacuate faster, every second counts - I know you have great organizing skills Lypris. And you Doppel, you need to get every changeling that can fight - what is left of our frontline, our magic squad, everyone. Lead them to the dark university at the very north, it will be hit first. Once you have them there I will lead them into this battle. But I want you to leave with Lypris. You both know my legacy, my plan. You need to carry on in the case I won't make it."[/colour]

    [colour=#008080]"But C-chrysalis"[/colour], Lypris was shocked, mouth open, tears in her eyes.

    [colour=#009966]"I cannot live with the thought that I didn't do anything to protect my subjects. I am so sorry. If this is how my life ends so be it. If I can save one changeling it was worth it."[/colour]

    [colour=#000000]She flew out of the huge window that was facing the north but turned arround a last time.[/colour]

    [colour=#009966]"Go! Make me proud a last time..."[/colour]

    >Despair and Misery (Outside the Royal Hive, Northern Equestria)

    A cold wind swept through the snowy mountain pass, it's whispers carrying the eerie sound of death laying in it's wake, the frigid air amplifying the depressing tone of the landscape surrounding the Changelings' primary Hive. Hidden away from sight and detection stood two young Alicorns, their dark red eyes piercing the snowstorm that had encompassed the entire region. Surely, today was a wonderful day for a massacre...a wonderful day for a cleansing. Suddenly, one of the twins grinned maliciously, his crimson gaze becoming alight with murderous glee, while his sister simply stared into the storm with a blank expression.

    [colour=#b22222]"...I cannot wait until the Moon rises, Misery. Father will be so proud of us when we open up Tartarus for him, and these Changeling scum wiped clean from our world's beautiful face..."[/colour] The silent filly glanced at her brother momentarily before speaking as well, her own voice as quiet as death. [colour=#ff8c00]"...Despair, that blood-lust of yours will never be sated, will it? Even poor Mother couldn't control your vicious temper...nor the radiant aura you possess. It's remarkable that even Father isn't affected by it..." [/colour]Misery muttered gloomily, kicking the snow beneath her hooves lazily. Indeed, their father, Pierrot, had sent them here in order to take care of the reopening of the Tartarus Gate that was said to hide beneath this Changeling Hive. She herself only took part of it because of all the sad faces she would see at the end of it...after all, she loved company. Despair let out a cruel laugh as he punched her shoulder roughly, causing her to grimace and grumble. [colour=#b22222]"Come off your perch, Sister. There is a reason why Father sent us here...we've never disappointed him before, and we won't do so this time either. Now, are you ready to go finally...? I'd rather be there before moonrise, that way I can have more time to make those bugs scream as I squash them beneath my hooves..." [/colour]Trotting in the direction of the tall silhouette of the Changeling Hive, Despair left his sister behind, who sighed slightly and followed without protest. At the end of this...no one will even remember this place existed. The sound of marching, metal-plated hooves behind them the only noise in the swirling snowy valley, the storm blocking their army's presence from those at the Hive.

    One of the patrols spotted the two alicorns during their little conversation when they were flying dangerously close to them. The sky was covered in movement usually but at these times most of the changelings were in Equina helping the ponies repair their homes - there was no protection for the hife.

    Lypris went back to the hive after the incident on Equinas Main Square.

    The patrol was breathing heavily, both changelings entirely out of breath. [colour=#008000]"Alicorns... two of them... we saw them... talking... they looked... evil."[/colour]

    [colour=#008080]"Are you sure? Alicorns mean trouble in these times"[/colour], Lypris said.

    [colour=#008000]"We heard... an army... moving... can it be?"[/colour]

    [colour=#008080]"Ponykind didn't banish us here for no reason, it probably is true. We have to alert everyone, I just hope Chrysalis is ready for a fight yet, she will have to protect her hive on her own."[/colour]

    [colour=#008000]"I wish I could tell you... how many... but we couldn't see, a storm is hiding them."[/colour]

    The Hivemind

    (only to Chrysalis and Doppelganger)

    [colour=#008080]"Chrysalis, comminatio[/colour][colour=#008080] supremo[/colour][colour=#008080]."[/colour]

    Chrysalis was still in the helicopter.

    [colour=#009966]"I am sorry guys"[/colour], she said to the soldiers escorting her, [colour=#009966]"but I cannot play after your rules. My very existence is threatened."[/colour]

    In a blinding green flash of light she vanished, leaving behind only her blindfold.

    She appeared right next to Lypris. [colour=#009966]"What is it that you call out... this?"[/colour] This teleportation was a very difficult spell and it only worked into one direction - from anywhere open to the hive - it was meant only for the very worst case.

    [colour=#008000]"We spotted two Alicorns and heard an army marching towards here. They are hiding in the storm."[/colour] Chrysalis went to the huge oval window that was infront of her throne in the very top of her hive-building.

    [colour=#009966]"Mhm... so it really came to this. Tartarus. I just hope Cadance love will be enough for this."[/colour]

    Chrysalis looked at the storm at the horizon - at the ground - then at the three changelings next to her.

    [colour=#009966]"We need to evacuate."[/colour]

    [colour=#008080]"What?"[/colour]

    [colour=#009966]"Yes Lypris, we cannot fight this battle alone. I cannot. I don't want to waste my subject's lifes, I don't want to waste yours Lypris. You heard me - we are leaving."[/colour]

    Unfortunetaly there are way to many buildings and areas to evacuate - noone is here to help, they can only try to save as many as possible.

    Also... STOP STOP STOP you forgot a very important thing! You didn't say that Chrysalis was brought away - you cannot let her fly way, then the whole blindfold thing would be in vain. Add that somewhere! Or I can't answer... well I can't answer anyway right now because whiskey.

    Oh I so sense hot Twilight/Striker action there.

    Wish I had a real whiskey glass with Chrysalis engraved on it right now...

    SsFsP.png

    Cutie Mark Story:

    Nocturna was by far not the first on in her grade to get her cutiemark but she was the second one in her class. It appeared during a night she had trouble sleeping.

    Nox went outside, despite her parents not wanting her to fly around in the night alone, hoping to find some nice place to spend a bit of the night. She descended to a lake and sat down on a tree. It was way past midnight. The crescent moon was reflecting in the water and the mare felt an unbelieveable inner peace, like never before and never again. When she flew over the lake, watching the moon move under her was the moment her cutiemark appeared.

    It symbolizes her affinity to the night and her ability to fly.

    History:

    Her parents cared a lot of Nocturna when she was young and always tried to make her life enjoyable. They wished she would get "a good life" at some point and always told her they are looking forward to this. As a filly she thought her parents meant a successful career, fame, a family and the typical house on the hill with "a good life".

    Instead of taking her life a bit easier with the support of her parents she felt pressured by their expectations and she worked hard to be good in school and stand out between the others. Once she was nearly done with flight school and could look back at some smaller accomplishments she applied for the Wonderbolts. The idea of acrobatic entertainment was wonderful to Nocturna. She always truly loved flying and showing off; being part of the Wonderbolts surely would give her the best of both. And it would fulfill her naive conception of "a good life".

    But sadly the Wonderbolts rejected her; she might be good enough, but Nocturna simply didn't stand out enough to be considered special.

    It hit her like a train. "Why was I rejected? How could this be happening?"

    Then, after the shock had faded, resentment began to build inside her: "What did I practice so hard for? What is the use of all this?"

    Her depression over the lost dream didn't last long fortunetaly and soon she carried on. Giving up on her dream of the Wonderbolts also burried her thoughts about acrobatic flying with it and whenever she could, she avoided the topic as much as possible because it still hurt her, remembering the rejection like it was yesterday.

    As time passed she tried many different things to still fulfill her goal. She even tried more intellectual focused jobs, forsaking flying, but soon she realised that this was a huge mistake. Her parents never explained her what they meant with "a good life". And suddenly it was clear to her. They just wanted her to be happy with her life, but right now she was quite far away from happy.

    This revelation was the turning point in her life.

    Ever since she was only focused on what makes herself happy - that it often involves the well-being and satisfaction of those around her is merely a lucky coincidence.

    Still she was unhappy and was desperatly looking for a way to gain some bits, since her parents didn't want to pay for her any longer - after all she was a grown up mare by now.

    Some day there was a show which told the story of Nightmare Moon and how she became Princess Luna again. The show was performed by well trained actors and got Nocturna's attention, especially at the point where the six ponies were tested for their element and the Shadowbolts showed up to test one of the mares for her loyalty.

    It reminded her of what her original dream was: Being part of a flying acrobatic entertainment group like the Wonderbolts. The job was paid well, she could do exactly what she always wanted to do and she was together with other pegasi that were equally skilled in flying and just as eager as her to show off their skills. But the Wonderbolts had rejected her... .

    "There must be other good flying teams out there", she thought and did some research. Be it destiny or coincidence - she found the real Shadowbolts. That they perform a lot of their shows in the night at moonshine was only adding to her desire to join them.

    Organizing a meeting with them, so she could show off her flying skills, she quickly convinced them that she was the right mare for them. After getting accepted Nocturna felt filfilled and trily happy for the first time after what felt like centuires of suffering.

    Character Summary:

    Character traits:

    At first you might call her selfish and arrogant. This is the picture she is unwillingly showing towards the outside world.

    Nocturna simply doesn't care much for anyone else, but that doesn't mean she is your storybook egoist. It simply means she concentrates on what makes her happy. Helping an older pony crossing the street or making a gift to a friend is something that makes her happy and thus she loves doing those things.
    • Self-centered
    • Seemingly arrogant/selfish

    One would ask: Why is she not taking care of presenting a different picture to the outside? The answer is that she doesn't care. What others think of her only matters to her in the rarest of cases and thus most ponies are not part of the group she would care about.
    • Independent

    Her attitude is friendly and open. She will definetely judge someone upon how he or she looks, but Nocturna will not let it affect her attitude towards that pony until she gets to know them better.
    • Animated attitude

    She gets furious pretty fast and it can take a while until she calms down. Things that make her furious easily: Obvious lies (e.g. excuses), allegations, unreasonableness, hypocrites. If you upset her you can count on her being angry and unforgiving.
    • Temperamental

    You cannot describe her as impulsive since she thinks through most of what she does, but sometimes she is acting on a feeling rather than on pure reasoning. Or it could be that her intentions might be complex and you will wonder why she is acting that way.
    • Complex

    Most distinctive about her is how different she can be. Sometimes she is as cold as ice and the next second she can be so heart warming you would melt in her embrace. It depends on the situation more than on other things.

    Whenever she deals with a topic, she tries to see all sides, what leads to her ambivalent nature towards nearly everything. For example she doesn't actually care for the reactions or opinions of others, but she also likes to show off. Or the Wonderbolts - she started disliking them for rejecting her and for destroying the dreams of so many other pegasi, but they are still her idol because they represent values which are important to her.
    • Ambivalent

    Nocturna is self-confident and everything but a hypocrite. She really hates hypocrites and once she sees through your lies you will have a hard time regaining her trust and respect. But it is not entirely impossible either. If you truly change and can show her that, she will forgive you.
    • Self-confident
    • Reasonably forgiving

    Another important trait of hers is reasonableness and understanding - even if she has an entirely different opinion from yours she will accept yours and if she thinks you are right she doesn't hesitate to change her mind and admit that.
    • Open minded

    As example:

    She went to the Gala once and since then learned to appreciate fancy dresses instead of calling them a waste of money - she also got one made specifically for herself.

    vHfX6.png

    Motivation:
    First it was her naive conception of "a good life". Later she found her true goal - simply being happy. And ever since this is what keeps her going, the need to be happy.

    Dream:
    After joining the Shadowbolts the only dream that remains for Nocturna is finding a mare she can love.

    Fears:
    Nocturna is afraid of failing at a flight show infront of everyone. The same way she fears losing her friends for whatever reason. Breaking her wings would also be on that list since she really loves flying and being bedridden for weeks would be terrible for her.

    Parents:

    Her mother is working in the rainbow factory and her father in the cloud factory. They do not take part in creating rainbows or clouds but instead are part of organizing the ponies and schedules. Both are intellectual people, not much interested in sports, acrobatic entertainment or flying other than to get from point A to point B. They never shared their daughters interests but always supported her. Nox thinks they are boring but does respects them.

    Relationships:

    In her time before she was an adult she only had two relationships. Both of them were with male pegasi and ended in what you would call a disaster. One only used her to improve his chances of making it through school, by letting her teach him nearly everything. And the other one was less interested in an emotional connection than Nocturna was - his interest was a bit more pubertal.

    Nox never really dealt with what had happened and thus she surrounded herself preferably with other mares and eventually in one of her desperate phases she fell in love with one. The comfort she received stayed in her memory exactly like the disaster with the stallions. Since then she sees other mares as potential partners.

    Likes:
    • Raspberries - she is crazy after them
    • Cherries
    • Bananas
    • Smoothies - in the best case consisting of the fruits listed above
    • Nighttime
    • Summer
    • Classical music
    • Romantic settings
    • Being creative - writing, arts, music, poems
    • Martial Arts - its her hobby/sport of choice
    • And of course - flying

    Dislikes:
    Find out yourself...
    :)

    Well I know I was actually trying to say Cadance Free and Chrysalis.

    Anyway, she could really be there since she knew Free... except if I have different things to do.

    I still need someone to play Cadance and Lypris to interact with me. I can take Lypris myself but this will of course make me go my own way much more than if anyone else is taking her. I'm not quite sure yet what plan Chrysalis might have to takeover the world.

    [colour=#009966]"Maybe another time, not another stallion"[/colour], Chrysalis answered, happy this session was over. At least she could reach deeply into his mind and plant a seed. A seed that will make him let go when the time has come and he will realize his free will and freedom and decide to do the right thing. He will be happy in the end - except if something happens to him, but Chrysalis would try to prevent that, if she could.

    [colour=#009966]"Very well Striker, I am glad I won your loyalty. Let your love be with me.[/colour]"

    [colour=#000000]She paused.[/colour]

    [colour=#009966]"I have to try reigning this land - not at every cost, but for what it's worth. I won't walk over dozen of bodies to get there is what I intend to say, but if its for the greater good I will. Remember my words: As long as I am not on the throne I cannot guarantee that the leader won't betray this country again and lead into times like this. Times where people die, innocent people like Tender Care."[/colour] She choosed those words carefully, ending with the name of his lost love - this way he will remember and maybe understand.
