Well this is not what Nijah wanted at all. When he had been told about the mystical land of Equestria, he had hoped to visit and meet with the adorable ponies he had heard about and maybe take a tour of their land marks for awhile. He hadn't really ventured over to this part of the world before, and he had heard they were usually fairly peaceful save for the odd invasion from a big bad. He supposed this was one of those times given the skirmish going on in the forest below. He was floating high over head, absent mindedly fiddling with a neon pink whisker as he assessed the situation from a birds eye view. 

"Those darling little things are getting accosted by what looks like some kind of bug monstrosities. Honestly they are quite ugly looking. I think they might be...what were those things called? Feed on love or something like that..." He had his clawed hand on his him as he spoke aloud to himself, the name of the changelings on the tip of his tongue. Frustrated to no end he huffed out a puff of deeply purple smoke from his nostrils that enveloped his body before making him appear to disappear. Down below, amidst a cluster of changelings in the back row, they were met with a plumb of purple smoke and bright pink flames that illuminated the forest dramatically for a brief instant. They all backed away from the seeming explosion, and their eyes were met with a slightly hovering dragon like creature with a serpentine body and long lean limbs. Primrose held his head high and wrinkled his nose at the dark hissing creatures. 

"Excuse me, insectoid abominations. What was the name of your species again? It's is bugging me ever so much. If you are at all capable of speech I'd love to hear it. You probably aren't though, you all seem a bit daft in the head if you get my meaning."  

"Get'em!" One of the creatures roared, and the cluster of them that surrounded the eastern dragon rushed in to attack with bared fangs and hissing battle cries. 

The were met with nothing but smoke as he poofed out of their attack range, causing several of them to collide into each other instead of the pink dragon. The next few seconds were a frenzy. Flashes of pink flames peppered the area around these several dozen changelings, with clawed fists and legs popped into reality and collided into their faces, or kneed them in the stomach. The dragon seemed to be coming from all angles, erupting from the ground and the surrounding trees at seemingly random. Each movement was snake like and practiced, his whole body coiling before striking out with enough force to knock the wind right out of his assailants. six of them were soon doubled over on the floor, with another one grasped by the neck by Nijah, who regarded him with disdain before chucking him into a trunk of a nearby tree. 

With a flourish of his hand, his garish flames erupted and seemed to manifest itself into a scabbarded sword. 

"You lot aren't worth the blade. I'll teach you what happens to those who try to scuff my beautiful scales you gnarled pests!" 

Techno's system detected that a new member had potentially joined the rebels so it spawned a massive five meter long cape on Nijah. The cape appearance was brought pink at his neck and it was white at the end of his cape and it faded between the two colours. His cape also had a fury collar around his neck and his cape was extremely soft and cuddly but it was also like an indestructible shield. Techno then established a mental connection with Nijah...

 

TU: Ahh to be honest it's great to have you join our forces to bring peace and harmony back to equestria! Not right now I'm in Manehatten with the main enemy commander Ennex and I'm trying to negotiate some things with him to change him! Anyways your cape is not only something that's really nice to wear and snuggle in but it also can be quite a good weapon as the changelings that are attacking you there would get mesmerised by seeing your cape flowing in the wind! Plus your cape is indestructible so it can be like a shield to you! The cape obviously has magical properties to!

Will the Rogue Changeling (in red unicorn disguise) was surprised to see another huge wave of Changelings were here. I thought all the Changelings were either beated, transformed, or paralyzed. There's more?

He also noticed the new dragon that appeared and started beating his kind down. Could this be a new ally? He carefully approached the dragon. He used his cape to cause all the Changelings in the area to become mesmerized and stop fighting long enough for Will to talk to the dragon.

"Hey, new dragon! If you're going to help us fight the Changelings, could you try freezing the Changelings so I can capture them instead of unnecessarily killing them?"

"Ah! Random Pony!" 

Too many things were happening at once. Magic (albeit stylish and color coordinated) capes popping into reality and talking to him about manehatten, and a red pony with a horn rushing up to speak to him, it made him almost too distracted to dodge the nearest changeling. He retaliated against the hissing beast by jabbing it in the chest with his scabbard sword, knocking the wind out of the flying beast and careening it into a thick branch of a tree. The branch cracked off loudly as the blackened body smacked against it and thumped to the ground along with the changelings unconscious body. 

"What are you talking about freezing them? Are you talking about that mesmerising thing that disembodied voice was yapping about?" He brought his scabbard down as he said this to the unicorn, cracking a changeling in the head and making it see stars as it bounced along the ground and collided into other changelings.He registered the fact that the unicorn talked about unnecessarily killing the changelings and curled his lips in derision, revealing his diamond strong teeth as he kept fighting. 

"I'm not killing the things, I'm not a brute." He said indignantly as he kneed another one in the jaw, making it flop to the ground "They may be wretched, but I don't go around killing things like some winged dragon. Now what is this 'freezing' thing?" He used his free hand to make air quotes as he kept a keen eye on his opponents.

Will was careful to not come out as a Changeling yet. "I mean, like this!" He spun around with a flourish, as his cape blew in the wind, mesmerizing all the Changelings around them. The fighting stopped in this area for now. 

"We'll talk later, but for now help me gather up as many paralyzed Changelings as you can by swishing your cape pass them; They'll all disappear into my Cape of Holding for later"

(OOC: Okay, I can't post again until after 5 p.m. Be patient with me)

"Well...that just takes the fun out of fighting entirely." 

 

His excitement for a large battle was entirely quelled with the realisation that he could just flap an overpowered cape around and end the fighting entirely. He was quite happy he hadn't grown up around such an obnoxiously powerful device at his disposal. He wouldn't have become a 1/4 of the fighter he was today if he could just end military battles this easily. He rolled his eyes and proceeded to teleport around the battlezone, flashing the cape at as many groups of changelings as he could and sealing them away inside of it, a look of deadpanned boredom on his face the entire time. There was no thrill of battle to it. It was more like doing a menial chore in his mother's cave growing up. The whole affair left a sour taste in his mouth. 

"honestly, if you have this much of a hax why was there even a fight amongst you guys? This isn't a warzone, it's ...nature friendly pest control." 

Derision thickly laced the last four words.

"Sorry, for taking the fun out of it" Will said. "But if you're going to hurt the Changelings, please don't do it so harshly at least in my presence. If you want to battle them your way, Go take the half over there and leave the other half to me!"

TU: Ahh there we go do you see what I mean about the enemies getting mesmerised by our capes? It's a very interesting flaw that's for some reason built into them and it's really extremely useful to us here! Anyways you might soon release that your cape is also extremely nice and fun to wear!

"Hurt them too harshly? It looks like these creepy crawling things are trying to devour the lot of you and you're worried about some bruises and contusions?" 

He looked at the other half of changelings that were losing morale fast and felt no exhilaration in it. The magic of war was already lost with the introduction of these blasted capes. He had heard that ponies were peaceful and harmonious but this was almost sterile for a battle. Being able to just incapacitate the opponents with the swish of his cape sucked more joy out of him by the second. Back home he would have relished a battle with this many adversaries, their martial might vs his skill and experience, 

He extended a claw out to the enemy army as he wandered towards them, speaking loudly and boldly too the changelings that he was tasked to sweep up. 

"How about you lot. You look like you were here for an actual fight right? Some good sport? I know I did when I saw your creepy visages." 

They rushed at him by the dozens, their wings buzzing loudly in the everfree forest. Only to have most of them get mesmerized and incapacitated, their bodies tumbling to the ground at the Eastern Dragons feet with a look of deadpanned annoyance on his face. 

"But noooo, we have to have the Equestritarian weapon of war that shuts down all the icky fighting entirely." No matter how they tried to sneak around trees to catch the dragon off guard, they all were swiftly incapacitated by the unamused dragon, bitterly muttering under his breath as he systematically brought down their underwhelming forces.

TU: Okay there's a group of changelings coming up from behind you and they've figured out how to not get mesmerised by the capes!

 

There was a group of changelings that was charging at Nijah from behind and they had figured out how to not get mesmerised by the capes...

(OOC: That's redundant: Having the character and the narration repeat each other. Still funny though)

Will went back over to his group of Changelings and continued trying to gather as many mesmerized Changelings as he could. He hoped the battle would end soon, so he could return to base and start restoring the Changelings and teaching them there's a better way. Not to mention, he wanted to talk with the new dragon who clearly wanted to fight.

To his surprise, a group of changelings managed to shield their eyes away from the mesmerizing effects and were rushing straight at him. With a puff of smoke his body vanished from their charging assault. He reappeared sideways floating in the air, appearing as if he was standing on the side of a thick tree as he grinned devilishly at the group. looked like this cape wasn't as fun ending as he thought. They rounded around in formation, clearly an older and more experienced team of changelings as they aimed their horns directly at their targets. Green flashes of energy lit up the Everfree as they fired in unison, machine gunning energy blasts in the dragons direction. He snaked through the air, giddily bobbing and weaving through the fire and around trees. 

"Ahah! Actually competent soldiers, have at you my extremely ugly comrades!" 

"Speak for yourself ssssscales for brains!" 

"OH it's ON!" 

His pink neck and chest inflated deeply as he reared his head back, bright pink flames leaking out of the sides of his mouth as he grinned with adrenaline running through his veins. The changeling squad looked distinctly spooked and rushed out of the way as a torrent of bright flame rushed out towards them and incinerated a whole row of trees with flames that could easily melt steel. 

He laughed heartily after that and waved his hand over the residual flame, controlling it so that he could  him and the squad of changelings in a ring of fire. 

"Hey bug horsies, how fire proof are you lot?" 

He had control enough on the flames that they would not spread too far, but the battle ring they made around Primrose and his opponents was quite intimidating to say the least.

@Buck Testa

The siblings had been diverting several groups of changelings to the others as well, They were helping Will build up the number of changelings he could reform at once, Woody got distracted by the large blast of pink fire. "Whoa! A dragon?! Sweet, Looks like their on our side too." Woody said to Maple as he watched Primrose make the ring of fire and incinerate the trees. He smiled seeing that they had such a strong new ally "Hey you there! Are you here to help?! If you are then we could use it." He shouted to the dragon gestured to the changeling army as he fired a few blast but one changeling got a bit too close hitting him with a sword across the face, The changeling's slice was merciless since the dragonequus was.

Maple saw the attack and knocked away the changeling. She would've killed it but their changeling ally was trying to make more changeling allies for them and she'd hate to be on his bad side "Are you ok? Woody, that looked like it hurt." Maple said moving her brother mane out of his face seeing a large wound across his entire face. "That doesn't look good... Will! Can you get him out of here?" Maple shouted as she turned to face the few changelings that were still standing.

After realizing the 1st Rebel he's made friends with was hurt, Will (in disguise) stopped his Changeling Gathering task, made his way over to the injured Woody, and proceeded to get him out of the battlefield! "I got you, my friend!" He said, picking up Woody in his basic Unicorn Levitation Magic. 

[Star48955 706]

Moon was still high above the battle, but was much higher than before, unnoticeable from the ground. She gritted her teeth as a new wave of pain washed through her. She glared at her golden necklace, it's red jewel blinking innocently at her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She winced as she remembered what she had been told not long ago.

Twilight is going to kill me...

She angled her wings again and swooped lower, continuing firing spells at the changelings.

 

((OOC:So, we should probably give @Buck Testa descriptions of our characters so they know what they look like. I'll post a picture of Moon later, it's past midnight and I should be in bed. Also,my arm hurts, I'm typing on a tablet. ONE LETTER at a time. Ow...))

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Within the ring of fire, the trained squad of changelings huddled close together with their flanks to one another. They were in perfect formation, moving their heads too and fro as they tried to spy where the dragon was coming from. They had tried to leave the ring of neon flames, but it would rise and move with them, preventing their escape. echoey laughter could be heard all around them, and the briefest hints of the dragon's shadow played all around the dark and hot forest, setting their nerves into overdrive. 

"Hold formation! It's trying to use scare tactics on us. We will not fall to him! We fear no dragon!" 

The hardened soldier's word's hitched at the end when a claw burst from the ground and yanked on his holey leg with frightful strength. His leg didn't seem to sink into the ground, but into what felt like sludgy water. He stared down to the ground as he tried to keep himself in place with his other three limbs, but it wasn't much use. garish smoke billowed around the hand, drifting along the ground like a fog. His comrades shrieked as he was yanked under with the sound of a splash. The smoke cleared, but his friend was gone, and there was no sign of a puddle of water at all. In fact the ground was parched from the heat. 

"How....how did he do that? His claw just popped out of the ground!"

"no...no he's in the smoke.... stay away from the...." 

A long scaled tail whipped out from the wall of flames and wrapped around the speaking changelings neck, snapping the creature backwards into the fiery embrace the dragons magic fire. The remaining soldiers tried to shoot at the wall of fire, green bolts of magic peppering the neon pink flames, but all that did was temporarily poke holes in it and show that neither the dragon or the changeling was behind it. 

"Fall back! We need to regrou..." The one who was yelling this order turned around, expecting to see his comrades, but they weren't there anymore. The dragons laugh was more audible now, high pitched and relishing in the the formerly hardened and battle ready changeling quivering in his carapace, his ears flat against his head. All he could see was pink flames slowly closing in on all sides now. He fired his magic bolts at random, trying to hit whatever he could, yelling at the top of his lungs the whole time, making quite the show for the changelings outside of the ring of fire. 

Suddenly a yelp that sounded almost doglike sounded out before cutting out short, leaving the strained echo of the changelings voice echoing throughout the field in his absence. The only thing left was the dragon, standing there with a devilish grin decorating his features. 

"Anybug else want to play?" 

The changelings that witnessed that display did not have a rhyme or reason to how they fled, they just worked to get away from him as quickly as physically possible. Some bumped into each other as they scrambled into the sky, flying away as fast as their wings could take them, squealing for chrysalis like she was their mommy. 

 

 

Meanwhile: In a bog hundreds of miles away

 

"How in Tartarus did we all end up here?" 

Seconds earlier they had been in the middle of a large battlezone facing off against a strange pink dragon, the next they were yanked iinto flame and smoke and found themselves submerged in the depths of a thick boggy swamp, covered in moss and grime. 

"The dragon...It can...teleport through its fire and smoke...we must inform Crysalis about this...as soon as we figure out where we are."

He chuckled.  "My own cape?  I hardly think that is necessary.  However, since you are here, perhaps you'd like to observe the results of my latest experiment."  He waved a hoof and sent a mental command.....and a hidden doorway off to the side slid open.  "I had some concerns about you monitoring me though the....network, as it were.  Now that those concerns have been comfirmed..." A figure, still hidden in shadow, appeared in the doorway "...it am thankfull that I had the foresight to take precautions."  He looked quizzically at Techno.  "Tell me, why do you think I attacked Ponyville with such a small force?  Do you really think me that stupid?"  He grinned.  "Concerned about being monitored led me to a new strategy.  While you were watching me and my little 'attack', my latest experiment was being tested."  The figure stepped out into the light.... and was an exact copy of Ennex, down to the matching glasses sitting on his face. 

"And since you are only connected to his mind," Ennex2 said to Techno, "our theory was you would NOT be able to connect to mine." 

"Exactly," Ennex said, as his copy came to stand beside him.  "Very good, is it not?  A changling, of course.  But not just in disguise."  He tapped Ennex2's head.  "Using my newfound ability to connect to and control their minds, I attempted to copy my own mind into his.  And success!  A near-perfect duplicate!  While he doesn't have the full range of powers that I possess..." he trailed off. 

"...I can still access limited functions, like connecting briefly to another pony's mind," Ennex2 finished.

Woody felt himself get picked up by magic and he looked to see Will was carrying him before moving his arm back to cover his face. "Thanks. I needed some help there." After another minute Woody moved his arm and the Orange fur on his Lion paw had turned red. " Ugh... He got me good..."

@Buck Testa

Maple saw the Dragons display "Wow!" She said walking up to the dragon. "Well Hello there... Might I ask who you are." The Yellow (Seemingly Vampire) Bat pony asked the Dragon as she held out a hoof to them.

He chuckled.  "My own cape?  I hardly think that is necessary.  However, since you are here, perhaps you'd like to observe the results of my latest experiment."  He waved a hoof and sent a mental command.....and a hidden doorway off to the side slid open.  "I had some concerns about you monitoring me though the....network, as it were.  Now that those concerns have been comfirmed..." A figure, still hidden in shadow, appeared in the doorway "...it am thankfull that I had the foresight to take precautions."  He looked quizzically at Techno.  "Tell me, why do you think I attacked Ponyville with such a small force?  Do you really think me that stupid?"  He grinned.  "Concerned about being monitored led me to a new strategy.  While you were watching me and my little 'attack', my latest experiment was being tested."  The figure stepped out into the light.... and was an exact copy of Ennex, down to the matching glasses sitting on his face. 

"And since you are only connected to his mind," Ennex2 said to Techno, "our theory was you would NOT be able to connect to mine." 

"Exactly," Ennex said, as his copy came to stand beside him.  "Very good, is it not?  A changling, of course.  But not just in disguise."  He tapped Ennex2's head.  "Using my newfound ability to connect to and control their minds, I attempted to copy my own mind into his.  And success!  A near-perfect duplicate!  While he doesn't have the full range of powers that I possess..." he trailed off. 

"...I can still access limited functions, like connecting briefly to another pony's mind," Ennex2 finished.  

TU: Okay now that's good but there's still a little problem with it. The thing is that I also receive all system command log data from you Ennex live as a part of the connection and because remotely controlling a troop or several troops at the same time is just forcing commands into their systems. Yeah I'm still going to end up receiving those commands through your system as I basically receive anything that's processed in your system. Though I currently am getting sensor data input from the units your connected to right now we both still won't be able to handle too many connections so if you crash your system from establishing too many connections it would likely crash my system as well.

"Ah, but you misunderstand," Ennex2 replied to Techno, while the original simply grinned.  "He is NOT controlling me at all.  I am acting independently.  I am my own self, my own being, simply guided by that which he implanted into me."

"You see, I was also concerned about overtaxing myself, as you suggest," Ennex added.  "Therefore, I only copied myself into the changeling's mind.  It was a simple matter to extend their natural mimicking ability from only appearance to their mind as well.  Using a neural connection, which I then severed after the transference was completed."  He stepped over to look Techno in the eye.  "You may be connected to me, and see everything I do.  But we have taken great care to keep them," he pointed at Ennex2, "out of the connection.  The consequence is they lack all these fantastic powers I now possess.  Well, except for one."  Ennex2 waved at the doorway, and two more clones stepped out, just as identical to Ennex.  "Using the changeling hive mind, they can copy themselves into other changelings.  Think of it, an entire army of me....all with my intelligence....all with my ambition...all with changeling strength."  Slowly, he started laughing, getting louder and louder.  The clones all joined in as well, their maniacal laughter filling the room.....

TU: Yeah you've managed to very well find a bypass to the connection here! Though I can still see when you create the clones and maybe there's a way I could do some tampering with your minds to make you mesmerised by our capes but still that's something you might figure out how to do to us at the same time.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Ennex grinned at Techno.  "Yes, you can see when I create another clone.  But that is the beauty of it.  They can duplicate themselves into other changelings, without my assistance.  In fact," he scratched his chin, "I believe the other 20 or so changelings in the building are already being transformed as we speak..."

TU: To be honest if you can do that that means I can actually do the same thing as you myself! Plus I just need to try something here for a moment!

 

Techno then spawned in a changeling that looked exactly like him and it was a copy of his own personality. The changeling immediately started cloning itself forming an army of Techno's with massive capes...

 

TU: Let's just say that you might of been the big idiot this time!

Maple saw the Dragons display "Wow!" She said walking up to the dragon. "Well Hello there... Might I ask who you are." The Yellow (Seemingly Vampire) Bat pony asked the Dragon as she held out a hoof to them.

It took a moment to register that he was being talked too what with the din of changeling screams as they fled from the area. He looked around him and finally spotted the small pony thing holding out a hoof to him. Primroses slitted eyes immediately noticed the yellow creatures fangs, glowing eyes, and batlike wings and regarded the creature with suspicion. It was still kinda cute, but the bony wings were far to similar to those dastardly winged dragons for his liking. Primrose also heard that ponies were herbivores or subsisted on sweets, something like that. Yet she had distinctly sharp fangs. Ponies were entirely new to him, so the concepts of vampirism among them was completely unheard of. 

She had one of those annoying cape things on though, so she was an ally to these ponies at least, even if she was something different. Still the strangeness of her appearance made him regard her a bit reservedly, taking her hoof with only a couple claws instead of a full handshake. 

"MM, yes. I am Nijah Primrose of the Eastern Dragon lands. They aren't really into naming things over there. Honestly I wish they had a more interesting name for where we live but one dragon can only do so much in the realm of politics I'm afraid. Especially when most of us are more nomadic than migratory birds." 

The fighting seemed to be winding down, but the Everfree definitely seemed worse for the ware, part of which was his own fault. He always got a bit too excited when it came to a good scrap, and trees were not quite as sturdy or flame resistant as mountain ranges. 

"I had came to Equestria for some R and R, a bit of sight seeing, maybe a visit to a spa or two. Instead you ponies are scrapping it out with those hideous bug things like it's going out of style...you are a pony right? I don't wanna be rude but the whole flesh wing and pointy teeth thing is kind of throwing me off."

Moon stopped midair,not moving except for her wings and eyes. She scanned the area carefully, before closing her eyes. She dissappeared, to any pony else it would look like the black alicorn had melded into the sky. She spoke to Maple through a mental link.

"There's only a few changelings left. You and the others will be able to handle them easily, so I'm leaving again. If you need anything, then contact me through a link."

While Primrose was speaking Maple was examining the dragon closely, Her eyes visibly examining the dragon's entirety, Not very intimidated by the appearance of the dragon mostly because of the pink but she still saw them as a potential threat. Just not one she was super afraid of.

Maple had never really seen a dragon, especially not one this close but she knew of them well. Maple had disregarded the idea of her looking over the dragon so much being rude even though it was, while she spoke she still watched him carefully "Name's Maple. Maple Bat. I'm from the town that we were just fighting to protect... Ponyville."

To the other things, that Primrose said Maple's expression worsened "Well... Equestria's not exactly the best place to relax right now... Not with Chrysalis and Sombra's rule here. Sorry to disappoint you. Lastly, yes I am a pony. I'm a variation of the Bat-pony, A Vampire-Fruit Bat-Pony. I don't necessarily drink blood so don't worry about that." To Primrose, it was worth noting that there were hints on blood on the fangs from her attacking with them earlier and Maple was, of course, blissfully unaware of the fact.

@Star48955

Maple didn't respond to Moon, She didn't want to use Magic in front of the dragon otherwise they might get suspicious of her real origin.
