Vadrigar and Discord: The Shapeshifter

It was the middle of the night, and the creature known as Discord had settled on a cloud, seemingly suffering like a child over the fact that he couldn't reveal himself and show a little good ol' time by messing with the ponies below. High atop the clouds he kept reminding himself that he couldn't go down there or risk ruining the surprise that Vadrigar had in store for them.

Discord: They're all asleep anyway, so why bother? * yawn! Well, I suppose I might as well join them, no fun creating unrest on no rest I should say…
But just as the creature was starting to drift off a familiar voice scared him half to death.

Vadrigar: BOO!

The creature's heart started to pound as he jettisoned from the cloud and was suddenly wide awake and there he saw the demon floating before him with magnificent black feather laden dragons wings.

Vadrigar: There has been a change in plans my disciple. I will not be deviating far, but I can no longer ignore this disturbance. The royal Canterlot wedding which was interrupted the other day, it was by a shapeshifter. Do you mind telling me more about her?

Discord: Wow guy you really get around! Ok, first of all, where did the wings come from? I didn't even think you COULD fly? Second, … shapeshifter?

As it was clear that Vadrigar would not answer his questions he started to ponder. The creature strokes his goatee in thought as the Vad awaits an answer.

Discord: Oh yeah, that was "her royal highness QUEEN Chrysalis". Yeah, she's what we call a changeling, they basically go around impersonating everypony and sucking the love out of 'em, not exactly MY choice of chaos but not bad either.

Vadrigar: Like you, I know that she and her goons weren't destroyed. Where may I find them?

Discord: What?! Why do you want to find HER?!

Vadrigar: It is of no concern to you, now tell me!
Discord: Ok, ok, sheesh. She and her race of changelings live deep in these nasty caves underground.

Vadrigar: Very well, that's all I need to know. Go back to resting, I will need you later, for now you must replenish your energy for the war ahead. And remember, keep yourself hidden. You wouldn't want them finding you, or you better pray that I don't find you again myself.

And with that the demon disappeared, leaving the draconequus alone oncemore.
It doesn't take Vadrigar very long to find the caves and within a few hours he manages to locate the source and coerce one of the changelings into revealing the direct location of the Queen. The changeling proceeds to lead the man of black all the way through the caves. The changelings stare at the man following the reluctant changeling and the changeling in return feels total embarrassment by the situation. Through the slime and dampened rock they travel for miles, through the civilizations of starving changelings, eagerly awaiting their next feast. The awe strikes them as the man goes by, first in that they have not seen a human for as long as the surface-dwellers have and also for the fact that his near presence was starting to make them even hungrier, for Vadrigar was not only completely devoid of love, but was built of sheer hate and anguish much like looking at a rare fossil, fascinating yet, in the end, without the benefit of succulent meat to feast on. The caves get narrower as they approach the throne room, where the Queen, who wasn't expecting company, becomes outraged, and thus her guards become hostile. They lunge at Vad, and with the slight lift of his finger, he manages to ensnare the beasts in his own magic, he hoists them high into the air with the threat to destroy them if the Queen will not call them off. She rises from her throne and shoots a beam of green energy at Vad, who, in turn, swats it away like a puny pest.

Chrysalis: Impossible! That was the same shot I took at Celestia, and you deflected it like a mere fly!

Vadrigar: My dear I am losing my patience; call them off or I will shower them all over your floors!

Chrysalis succumbs.

Chrysalis: At ease!

The airborne changelings cease their growling and become unwillingly docile, as Vad proceeds to slowly lower them to the ground. Vadrigar approaches the throne as the Queen becomes concerned.

Vadrigar: Your highness, Queen… Chrysalis was it? I am Vadrigar Von Savage, the King of Evil in my world, and the almighty darkness. First, I feel that it is absolutely imperative that I tell you why I am here. For the last 10 years, I have been present in your world, on the surface, in Equestria. I am not from this time nor space. I am from an alternate time period where the earth was still inhabited by humans, which, ironically, I destroyed. I still have no idea if it's relevant to this timeline where other humans are not present but, I digress. The point is that I have been amongst the shadows in complete invisibility, witnessing the events here, learning the culture and hearing the lore. Many of these events were great, particularly those of the return of Discord and the disturbance at the fairly recent wedding of Caterlot. I need not remind you of your power over Celestia, which at first was interesting until you tried that on me. Now I realize just how… out of your leagues I really am which, again, I digress. I thought I had understood so much about this realm which to us humans was pure fantasy but then you and your race came along and made me wonder even more. I learned that you and your kind feed off of the love and kindness of others, stripping them of it and turning them into hateful misers, and THAT is what gave me a brilliant idea my dear, for you see, I feed off of hate. The more love you take, the more powerful you become and the more hate exists, the more hate there is the more powerful I become. Do you see where I'm going with this?

Chrysalis: Not really, human.

Vadrigar: I have a proposal my dear, I can strip them of their power, and you can take their love so that I may feed off their hate, thus turning them into nothing more than emotionless zombies, then I will slowly destroy them as you and your race continue to thrive and become practically engorged with all the love you absorb, meanwhile, my good friend Discord continues to make their pathetic lives a living hell. You get what you want, he gets what he wants and I DEFINITELY get what I want.

Chrysalis: Very well, I like where this is going, but how do we go about such a plan?

Vadrigar: I thought you'd never ask. Well I'm still working out the kinks but all it would require of you is the use of your handy little shapeshifting power. While I am certainly not unfamiliar in the art of shapeshifting, I feel it would require two to complete the job.

Chrysalis: I didn't know humans were capable of shapeshifting.

Vadrigar proceeds by transitioning transformations into creatures familiar to her before finishing by turning into her before her very eyes and turning back into himself.

Vadrigar: It's quite easy really, however, this is not a one creature job, my dear. What we do is, disguise ourselves as the creatures of authority and we, ahem, take the Elements of Harmony.

Chrysalis: You want me to be a jewel thief?

Vadrigar: I want you to rob them of their POWER. The elements are the only way they could rid themselves of Discord and it is the route of the Mane 6's power. I have my own diabolical plans for those beauties which will further benefit us. Surely you could complete this task?

Chrysalis: Of course I could.

Vadrigar: Excellent, then we have a deal?

Chrysalis: Indeed? When shall we go about this plan?

Vadrigar: This change is rather sudden. I didn't know if you'd be on board, but I will return once the time is right.

Chrysalis: Very well, I look forward to seeing you again… Vadrigar.

Vadrigar: As do I, you, my Queen.

The man disappears again as the Queen sits back at her throne in both excitement and ponderance over the day of Equestria's rechoning, when the skies will burn and hate and anguish fill the air. When anarchy ensues and Equestria becomes nothing less than hell on earth.

In due time…
Pt. 5 of Vadrigar and Discord. You were probably all expecting this. Or not. I don't know... SHUT UP!

The changelings get the love, Vad gets the hate, Discord gets the fun. Just how it should be.
