Louise nodded in response to Abernathy, and waited patiently til she was alone with the Ponies. Then she turned to face them all.

 

"Since we haven't much time," she began, "I'll make this brief. Firstly, I know exactly who you are and where you come from, and for a very good reason."

 

Louise lowered her voice out of habit, altho there was no-one around who could hear.

 

"I'm an Equestrian, myself," she said. "It takes one to know one. I wasn't sure at first, cuz I convinced myself that it couldn't possibly be true, that other ponies could have found their way here. As far as I knew, only one pony knew that particular spell and he'd brought himself with me and the Changeling that he cast his spell on. I was just accidentally in the vincinity, and I hate him for it. He ruined my life."

 

The words that Louise was speaking seemed to jerk Pinkie out of her stupor. Her hair kinked just slightly as she looked up at the woman.

 

"What, so you're a pony too?" she said. "How do we know that you're not telling, ooh, big giant lemon pies covered with cream, ice cream swirls and rainbow sprinkles?"

 

Rarity put in, "She means lies. And Pinkie is quite right. This might just be a trap to trick us. Can you prove it?"

 

Louise smiled. "Of course I can." She carefully rolled up one leg of her smart trousers, angling herself so that everyone in the room, even the shackled Rainbow Dash, could see, and exposed one thigh. On Louise's thigh was a small cluster of blue stars. While humans naturally thought that it was a tattoo, to an Equestrian it would be obvious as a cutie mark. Louise rolled down her trouser leg. "That enough proof?" she said, checking her watch. They still had a few minutes to go.

 

"In any case, I'm telling you right now that you need to co-operate with these people. If you don't, then there's not much chance of you ever getting free. I know what I'm talking about; I went thru exactly this when I first landed here," Louise went on. "I played nice. I pretended that I had amnesia, and eventually, I was released and went to live with a human foster family. I adopted a human sounding name and did my best to blend in, attending school and socialising with other teenage humans. I did well, if I say so myself. But I've always missed my old home."

 

Louise paused, then said in a low whisper, to Rainbow Dash, "I miss flying, too. You probably can understand how that feels." She straightened up, faced the room as a whole. "Two minutes left. What's your decision?"

Rainbow Dash struggled to sit up under the weight of the metal pinning her down. "So what, you used to be a pony. Big...ergh..." She struggled to slip free, "fucking deal. You're still a total douchemuzzle!"

She struggled to see what her cutie mark was of, but didn't see enough to make it out. Scowled again. "Why should we help you? All you did was kidnap all my friends and scare Fluttershy half to Tartarus? You think sharing a little blood means we're gonna' be buddy-buddy with you all of a sudden? What do you even want?"

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Dawn Stripes, Louise shrugged. "Revenge," she replied, simply. "Probably, the same as you want. But you'd be going after the wrong people if you tried to attack the people here. The one you want; well, I know him as Justus. He goes by a different human name, of course. But he was the one who has the Changeling Queen at the moment. Let's face it, you don't really have a choice. If you agree to co-operate for the moment and make a deal with me, it would be easier for me to try and get you out of here. But if you don't... well, I don't really see any of you ever seeing daylight again."

Colette rolled down her window, poking her head out. "Why don't you just head on home, Nick? I'm just gonna drop Dennis off, then head home myself… nothing too exciting."

 

Colette then foucused her attention on the inside of the car as she began to drive off. "That's the thing, Dennis. Jack was hurt pretty bad, so no one'll be able to see him until a doctor calls, but even then, only immediate family can visit.... if Jack miraculously calls, I'll tell him what happened then…"

 

Just then, she was reminded that she needed to get in contact with the others! "Hey, Cat? Remind me to call the twins when we get home? Last thing I wanna do is crash and burn before I let 'em know!"

After a short period of time, Colette pulled up to Dennis' apartment. "I'll call you after I call the others!"

 

After they said their goodbyes, Colette was off to her home with Catherine. "Hey Cat? Mind if I ask what you and Jack did before-- know what? Nevermind!"

 

Colette tried to think of something to talk to Catherine along the way, but utterly failed to think of anything good...

 

Thankfully, the ride wasn't very long, and Colette was pulling into her driveway before too long. "Well, we're here!"

She looked towards the windows. "You can't just bully and threaten everyone into doing what you want. You'll see, you don't have all of us you know."

We don't have to stick around her any more than we need to. If she can get us out of here, I could always use my magic to ensure that she doesn't come with us. It'll be four versus one, after all.

@@Dawn Stripes, Rarity glared at Rainbow. "Well, if you want to throw up the only chance we have of getting back to the others, and the people we care about," she snapped, "Then you can do so, by yourself. I'm going to take this chance, slim tho it might be, cuz it's the only chance available to us. There's no chance whatsoever of the others ever being able to find us here, given that they don't know where we are, and we might not even be here for much longer."

 

Pinkie sighed. Her keen ears could hear what Rarity was saying, and altho Rainbow had a point, Rarity's point made more sense. They really didn't have a hope in hell of getting themselves out or of being rescued, so why not trust this woman? She was an Equestrian, she'd showed them herself, and surely another pony like themselves could be trusted? She nudged Fluttershy. "What do you think?" she whispered.

During the conversation, Applejack figured it would be best to let the Princess negotiate with the Changelings. Something within Cicada did not seem right, however. A dour look on her face, and her song all but confirmed Applejack's suppositions. She wanted to help, but there was not really much that she thought she could do. She hardly knew the Changeling, and the last time their race met head to head, they were nearly decimated by the Changelings! Applejack was about to open her mouth in a feeble attempt to console Cicada, but the waitress saved Applejack from embarrassment, bringing the food to the table. Despite the rather sad atmosphere that she found herself in after Cicada's song, Applejack made very quick work of her salad, finishing every last onion, crouton, cherry tomato, and chunk of lettuce. She did not bother smothering the salad with any type of dressing; the strange orange color did not look very appealing to her. At this point, Applejack just wiped her mouth with her napkin, and placed her arms behind her back, taking care not to knock over her Stetson Hat. (all I can do for now as to avoid GMing)

 

***Around the same time***

 

Jack was fully conscious, but every time he tried to prop himself up, he felt a searing pain in his back, a burn unlike that of ten thousand fireants biting into flesh.

"Ah fuck!" Jack shouted, slamming himself back down onto the bed.

"Patience, patience!" the thick, German accented doctor said to Jack as he walked into the room, "You have very serious back injury, and you just voke up from unconsciousness for Gott's sake!"

"Fuck patience, doc," Jack responded quickly, "I got races to win, a championship to chase!"

"Nein, nein... You have very serious injuries!"

"Like what?"

"Vell, for starters, you have been unconscious for several hours, and ve've confirmed an L1 compression fracture in your back!"

"You... you gotta be shitting me, doc! Let me see the results again! It's got to be a mistake!"

"Mein friend... I think it is best you get rest for the night before you go and make crazy assumption!"

"(Annoyed SIGH) Well... whatever you say doc... I don't have the energy to argue with you right now..."

"Perhaps you should let your friends know that you are okay, just for the peace of your mind?"

"I... I guess so... They've got to be pretty worried after what went down."

Jack instinctively moved his hand towards his thigh, expecting to find a pocket containing his phone, only to remember that he was in a hospital gown! Well, where could his phone be? The fact that the doctor already recommended such a course of action without even providing him with the most important aspect- the telephone! He looked around the room, and saw his firesuit draping over a chair.

"Doc..." Jack said, motioning to the firesuit, "Can you grab my phone from the right pant pocket?"

The doctor nodded, and retrieved his phone, where Jack quickly scrolled to the contact listed "Catherine <3". He smiled a bit, remembering just how much she meant to him, dialed the number, held the phone next to his ear, and awaited a response.

And there was the recognition that Kai'sa had expected. As soon as she had made her name known, the light in Chrysalis' eyes changed. She repeated her name, making a comment on how she had failed 'her mother's favorite' and therefore failing her. From there, she began to tell about how she couldn't 'hear' her. Kai'sa waited until the Queen was finished with her tirade before responding in a tone much calmer than the other's, "My being here is of no fault of yours. I have been here over twenty years... There were... Other cirumstances for my being here."

 

She sighs, leaning her forehead against the glass sheet for a few seconds before responding the Queen's second question, "I cannot hear you, nor either of the other two you have brought here, and none of you can here me for various reasons. First, I've been here for over twenty years, as I mentioned before, and in that time magical connection has waned greatly," she gestures a her obsidian black hair and turquoise eyes, "It was a struggle for me to change just these minute details alone. Secondly, I've had... Inhibitors, placed upon me, courtesy of Orchestrator - or Justus, as he was once known. I cannot access the Hive mind no matter how hard I try. If I'm lucky I'm met with only silence or a maddening white noise. Most often however... It feels as if I've been shot in the head by one of the Human's guns."

 

Kai'sa falls silent and merely watches Chrysalis for a few seconds more before she sighs, "I am sorry. Sorry that you're in here and that you are being hunted. But there is little I can do to help."

"I can.. I'll save you... or die trying."

 A new firm resolve filled her, together with newfound anger about this "Justus". But first... first she had to take care of her changelings... and Kai'sa... Kai'sa was one of them, despite having lost everything, having been separated and left with nothing... Chrysalis would find a way.

"Kai'sa... listen to me... there was once a changeling  much like you... lost and disconnected madness threatened to destroy it. A changeling that was bound by the limits scared to go forward... to follow it's heart. But that changeling... I... learned something from you, from Cicada, and Diliges and all the other changelings. That even a lost, bruised, and broken heart can be saved by someone whith a truly considerate heart."

She placed her hand on her chest right above her heart open palm with her eyes closed and her head a bit lowered in respect.

"Right now i am wishing with all my heart... i want to save a person i truly care about... YOU!"

As she said that she opened once again her eyes and stared directly at her. She had a talent for looking regal and majestic even without too much clothing... simply by stance and expression.

He has dared to lay his filthy hooves on of my changelings..." she said her mind exploding for a moment with sheer anger. "Sorry about that... i just... Artisan is Kai'sa... and i think Justus blackmails her co-operation with bindings and locks. This... this shall not go unpunished... but he shall face OUR justice, not the ponie's."

Fluttershy glanced at PInkie. From her place in the corner, she raised her head for a very timid glance at the woman--who scowled back at her big eyes.

 

She ducked back down, hugging Pinkie tight to draw her close. "She's a mean pony," she whispered, then, raising her voice loud enough to be heard, "But we should give everypony a chance."

@, Cicada was filled with shock and horror at what her Queen was saying. "How could anypony do such a thing? To be left out of the Hive Mind... to suffer the constant silence... not to be one with your fellow changelings! Such suffering meted out on an innocent changeling deserves nothing more than our worst vengence ever. And of course, it will be given to the pony responsible by us."

I will ask Abernathy to remove Rainbow's shackles if you do, cuz she won't think she has anything to worry about." Looking at her watch, Louise saw that she only had a short space of time before Abernathy returned, but she didn't mind about that now. A fleeting glimpse of relief flitted across her face. Maybe, just maybe, she might be able to go home...

It was more than obvious that Colette was breaking down by minute the second she and Catherine stepped through the door. She paused and placed a hand on her face, shuddered a moment, but quickly recovered. Catherine was here now! Need to stay strong for a bit longer!

 

“I gotta straighten up a few things, but it won't take long... you can crash on the couch in the meantime.” It took all she had to flash her new guest a smile, but Colette managed. I'll be right back!” She then made her way up the stairs, and into her bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Catherine sat up when Jack spoke and said he was okay, and also looked over to Colette as she left the room. She could see clearly through her friend's façade and knew she wasn't as cheery as she tried to seem. "T-that's great news, Jack! You don't know how happy I am to hear that." After a few moments of Jack explaining what happened, dozens of thoughts were racing through her head. "I-I've been meaning to talk to you about something..." No, definitely not now. "... B-but I guess it'll have to wait. Look, I'll call you later, o-okay? I love you, Jack." She hung up her phone and tossed it back in her purse, then made her way to Colette's room. She silently opened the door, kneeled down behind her, wrapped her arms around her, and rested her head on her back. "Hey, Collie, look, I know everything seems like it's falling apart... And it may in fact be... But... For some reason I feel like it will work out, that everything will be okay. Everything always balances out." She rubbed Colette's arm and let out a deep sigh. "And just know that you don't have to hide anything from me. You don't have to act alright to hide your true emotions from your friends."

Louise knew that she'd have to work fast, and stealthly, to keep her promise. She knew full well that Abernathy would have zero intention of ever letting the ponies go free, and that it was likely that the holding area was only a temporary place to keep them in before they were moved elsewhere. Before she left the cell, Louise whispered to Rarity that she could use her magic to free Rainbow, but she'd better leave the chains loose so that Rainbow could put them on again to fool anypony who entered; they would hear them as the lock made a very loud click when it was unlocked. Rarity had protested that her magic was different from Twilight's, but Louise brushed this aside.

 

"Your magic is tuned to dressmaking skills, am I right?" she'd said to the unicorn, in a low voice. "Needles make very good lockpicks when needed. I'm going now, but rest assured, I have every intention of keeping my promise."

 

Louise had left the cell then, locking the door behind her. She sent a message via her mobile phone to Abernathy stating that she had managed to persuade the troublesome pegasus Rainbow Dash to co-operate, then set to work to fix the escape. Louise knew full well that she would have to work hard to ensure that no-one here knew how the ponies got out, but was confident of success. Not only did she have her years in the FBI to hand to drawn upon, but also the time she'd spent as a royal spy.

 

The batwinged pegasi, of which Louise was one, had traditionally made up Princess Luna's personal guard, but since she'd been sent to the moon, the guard had been disbanded and instead had been utilised into a team of spies. The batwinged pegasi had accepted this, as they had no choice, but they always hoped that one day, the Princess of the Night would return to them. Louise had discovered from watching the show that Princess Luna had indeed been freed and had been rescued from the curse of Nightmare Moon; it had given her a twinge of homesickness as she had watched the episode showing Luna visiting Ponyville during Nightmare Night, especially when she had seen the two batwinged pegasi pulling Luna's chariot. She knew both of them; one was her uncle, and the other had been a friend of her father. So the batwinged pegasi were once again honoured as the personal guard of the Princess of Night...

 

The spying work had given Louise a talent for stealth and keeping into the shadows; it had been that in fact which had led to her getting her cutie mark. The star cluster represented the stars of the night sky being visible for the most part, but able to hide and disappear whenever it was necessary. Louise's talent for the same skill had resulted in the cutie mark appearing on her flanks. This skill, and her talent for gathering information, was to serve her in great stead as she planned the escape of the ponies. First of all tho, she must see if she could find out as much as she could in information that would help them get out of the place in safety, and also anything she might put to good use in time...
