Ennex laughed as Techno's clones spawned in.  "Creating your own clones from scratch?  That is a lot more taxing on you than Simply altering existing changelings.  I doubt you can keep it up for very long, or even maintain their existence...."

When Techno started spawning in the clones they started to glitch on him from errors...

 

TU: Wait! Why are the clones not working!? You've figured something out here Ennex haven't you?

[nx9100 1,013]

@Techno Universal

"Of course.  Creating and controlling all those clones is too much," the confident pony replied, grinning all the while.  His copies all smirked as Techno's clones glitched.  "That is why I did NOT just create a clone, but copied myself onto a single changeling.  With no lingering connection between us to overtax myself."

"And I copied myself onto another changeling," Ennex2 continued.  "Again, with none of the original's powers, nor any connections to the other copies."

"We all think individually," said a third copy.  "He is not controlling us, so we are not overtaxing him.  But you," they all laughed as Techno-clones kept glitching, "you tried to overpower us too quickly.  You used too much power at once."

The original Ennex stepped forward to look Techno in the eye.  "Might I suggest that you cancel your clones and go off to recover yourself.  You do not want to crash here.  Think of what I could do if I managed to copy myself into you while you are disabled."

"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."

"Lastly? Gurl this isn't an oral report, you don't need to be so formal." Nijah quipped before lighting up a straggling changelings rump with a well aimed puff of fire, eliciting an amusing yelp out of it before it rocketed into the air. The battle was all but done now, but he was not above taking pot shots at the ones fleeing. He absently fiddled with his cape as he did so, not knowing what to do with its seemingly indestructible fabric. He'd need to get to a mirror later to really see how it looked on him. Thinking of that reminded him of that voice from earlier. 

"Speaking of reporting, what was that disembodied voice from earlier? The one that spontaneously can materialize clothes without even asking? It seemed well intentioned enough, but the fact that it can just make something appear on my body whenever it wants is...troubling." 

He held out a claw in front of the fruit bat pony's face and used his pink flame to summon a particularly nasty weapon from his hoard. A collar with spikes that went inwards towards a neck instead of outward. He held it there by one claw, dangling it in front of the pony's face in order to make his point. 

"I know a bit about that kind of magic too, like if I summoned this collar around one of these bug things necks... well... they wouldn't be moving around anymore. It's not sportsmanlike, and I need to see the creature before I can do that, but it's quite deadly. This disembodied voice can do this without even seeing me from who knows where it is. That is...not something I appreciate."  

 

In that moment the dragon seemed quite ominous, his irises glowing intensely under the moonlight and eerily lighting his face before it died down and his expression shifted back to normal an instant later. The collar went away with a puff of smoke and he knelt down be at Maple's line of sight 

"So...where is this voice at? I'd like to meet them in person."

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..."

As Will managed to get Woody away from the battle and things started to calm down, the Disguised Rogue Changeling asked the injured Draconequs, "Woody, will you be okay? Also, You broke my Connection to the Changeling Hive. Can't you do the same for all the Changelings I captured and stored in my cape? We mustn't let our foes use them against us again. Now, that things seem to be quieting down, would now be a good time to regroup with Maple and that new dragon?"

Ennex shrugged.  "I assume it would not be much different.  I still have my mind, and that is the most important thing.  But you..." his eyes narrowed, "..how would you react?  How would your 'friends' treat you?"  The other copies moved to partially surround Techno.  "Perhaps we should find out, hmm?"  He closed his eyes and concentrated.  Feeling the connection between himself and Techno, he focused on the other's appearance.  an aura of energy started to form around Techno....

...and in a flash, his appearance changed to that of a mare, complete with swimsuit and manicured hoofs.  But before he could react, Ennex focused again, this time picturing the town square of Ponyville....

...and with another flash, he teleported Techno right into the middle of the town square.

It took Techno a couple of seconds to process his senses and the feeling of him wearing the swimsuit and once he did he started to make really loud hard drive grinding sounds. Plus the feeling of his swimsuit wedged in his butt didn't help...

TU: Uhh... What did you do this tiiiiiiiiiiii......

 

Techno was now glitching out of control with all the movable joints in his body moving all around the place uncontrollably...

((OOC: Oh my god. @nx9100! Why would you do that? Now I'm going to be laughing for a while. ))

Moon closed her wings and dropped the hoof down to the floor. She immediately cast a spell, her golden magic swirling into a circle. The center opened, revealing a yellow Pegasus with pink hair. Fluttershy's eyes widened. "Moon! Are they..." Her voice trailed off as she looking at the alicorn worriedly. Moon smiled at her tiredly. "Yeah. Will is hurt, but he'll Be fine." She suddenly drew back, hissing in pain. Fluttershy started, looking even more worried. "How much did you..." Moon interrupted, waving a hoof. "It was worth it." Fluttershy's eyes narrowed. "How much." Moon's face darkened. "...I'll talk to you later." Before the Pegasus could react, she ended the spell.

"Oh ok... No formality got it." Maple said with a frown as the dragon shot one of the feeling changelings with fire. While Primrose might not be above it, Maple was, She didn't see the point in taking a shot at an enemy with no will to fight anymore. In her experience that only made an enemy who had given up coming back for more fight. Then Maple heard the Dragon mention Techno.

"Oh Techno? He's..." Maple paused when she saw the 'collar weapon' She never knew that dragons did such things with their teleporting breath for a second she looked at Primrose scared of what he just showed her "Y... Yea... someone who got that forced on them wouldn't be too happy..." She brushed her mane, Something she did when she was scared or nervous "Techno's on our side... One of Zecora's army, which I am part of as well. So you don't need to fear him... though we can go meet him if you'd like He's probably back at base right now." She suggested that since she saw Techno warp away at some point and she was assuming majorly.

Woody moved his paw the hit looked bad, he wasn't going to die because of it but it still looked like it hurt. It had cut across the majority of his face even going over his left eye "We can go meet them but... Does it look bad?" He said with a sorrow in his eyes " It does... Doesn't it."

"Not going to lie, it does look bad," a concerned Will said. "But yeah, let's regroup with Maple and the dragon" He said as he carried Woody toward where the others were. "I just hope that Techno's okay."

"Fantastic. Lead the way if you'd be so kind. Don't worry about flying..." Nijah kicked off the ground and floated in the air, coiling around above her like a serpent "I'm quite capable of keeping up, and I can always just teleport to make up for the distance." 

 

He thought nothing of how he had frightened the little bat pony. From his perspective he was merely stating a fact of life. More aggressive eastern dragons used those kind of tactics all the time. Primrose was on a bit of a disadvantage since he liked to keep himself relatively small, but he still managed to put up a good brawl with his immensely large brethren when the time arrived. He slithered about in the air, lounging his arms and legs relaxedly after such a good fight. It definitely was good to get his draconic blood pumping with some action. 

"You think I can get few free spa trips if I help you all get these loathsome bug things out of your lands? I really don't have much stake in Equestria myself, but you ponies are definitely cute enough to lend a claw. Plus it's not like they were that tough. My uncle Fahey can bite the tip off of a mountain and I beat the living snot out of his green rump before." He chuckled aloud at that memory. Granted he had gone Greed on his uncle at the time. Still it had been worth it considering his family constantly underestimated his combat prowess.

Will, still disguised and carrying Woody in his magic, found themselves in town square where they saw Techno in the swimsuit. As much as Will was blushing at how attractive Techno looked (despite having a preference for guys), he saw the Alicorn was glitching and was frightened for his leader's safety.

"How can I help you out of that swimsuit?" Will asked, hoping that didn't sound inappropriate. "What do I do?"

Woody, when he saw Techno as a Mare, started laughing when he registered what he saw. He was genuinely amused by the sight. He was looked at by several other ponies who were confused on why he was so amused, His laughter continued until Techno's cape cover his face when he forced the cape off him, the wound had healed enough to stop bleeding but there was still a scar where he got hit "Thanks... That feels much better. Will don't leave just yet they're probably heading this way so just wait on them." Woody knew that Ponyville itself was a few minutes walk from the forest but he didn't want the other 2 to get lost. Woody noticed the usual funny looks he was getting from normal ponies, even with his cap on people still knew he was the dragonequus he was. "Actually it might be better if we go to the base and make sure they didn't find it." Woody started heading to where the base was located, It was under the remnants of Twilights Tree-library.

Maple smiled to Primrose "Alright I'll take you to ponyville." Maple started to walk to it before stopping and pointing in the direction she was facing "It's not far that way, only a few minutes and we'll get there." Maple wasn't sure if the dragon knew that Everfree hated stuff that was above the tree line, somehow it would hit you with lighting if you were above the trees. To the dragon, it was probably nothing of concern but to Maple, she knew to avoid it since it would fry her with one bolt. Its lethality was questionable but it would still be painful. "And about those spa trips," Maple began with a cuckle "I think that's something that could make happen." The two weren't close to ponyville but not very far either it was as maple said a few minutes
