....

It was quiet when Malibu felt himself slowly coming to, his head hurting like the dickens.

"Oh, where... what..." He mumbled, trying to move but found out he couldn't. Malibu gasped softly, struggling to move but realized he couldn't. Also it was dark which didn't help his situation.

Malibu grunted with effort, tugging, feeling like he was lying on his back on a crystal table. "Where am I?! Twilight?! Mom! Help!" He screamed, legs kicking as he kept up his struggling, his voice echoing in the caves which were beneath Canterlot itself.

He next heard that sinister female laugh, and spotted Cadence again, showing off her full evil smile. Malibu gasped aloud and glowered, struggling more.

"Where did you take me?! Let me GO!" Malibu roared aloud, feeling like his cuffs were made out of some sort of impenetrable slimy substance. False Cadence shook her head. "I'm afraid not, little colt. You saw my true self. And I want my plans to succeed."

Malibu shook all over after he gave up struggling knowing he wasn't getting free. "But... who are you really?" He asked again in a slightly scared voice. Fake Cadence came closer, a hoof under his chin which made him shiver. "Sweet one, I'm more than Cadence..." She said sinisterly, eyes glowing green, her form beginning to change.

The teal alicorn stared in shock and fear, watching Cadence's form disappear into what looked like some kind of bug pony creature with holes in her hooves. The bug pony cackled more.

"And now you truly see me: Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings!" She sneered, hovering in the air while six other changelings that were merely her drones appearing, hissing and baring their fangs. Malibu couldn't believe that he had actually hugged this thing earlier, feeling ready to throw up.

"What do you want?" Malibu demanded shakily, as Chrysalis moved nearer much to his distaste. Chrysalis purred, stroking his chest. "Dear little prince. You know that you are the key to help me take over besides that fool of a unicorn Shining Armor. The son of Celestia, and the Element of Love no less... enough to feed me for many moons..." she slurped her tongue over her lips from saying it.

That really grossed him out, Malibu suddenly recalling in a book from before at how these things can take over another pony's form and feed off their victim's love. He now squirmed more than before. "I won't let you drain my love! Momma will find me!" He yelled defiantly again. Chrysalis stroked a slimy hoof down his cheek.

"Silly colt. Nopony will find you. Not even Twilight who I have by now taken care of as well and sent her into these caves under Canterlot. I have a special spell in mind for you to make you my second personal slave. But, I need someone else's help to do it, since I know you're not a pony. I met him some time ago in the Badlands when he appeared." Chrysalis then told him.

Malibu swallowed at the idea of being mind controlled again, before now wondering who it could be to do this spell alongside her. Chrysalis turned her head towards the darkness. "Come on out, my dear. I have him now!"

Before the young clone could comprehend what was happening; he heard a laugh he never wanted to hear again since under his previous control. Beads of sweat fell down his forehead, body shaking badly, as a familiar figure showed himself, but somewhat different.

"Why, hello, my little creation..." purred the dark voice of what sounded like Goliath, but was really Thailog. Mailbu's eyes popped in fright, his old Master now in view; but in the form of an alicorn as well. A dark midnight purple alicorn with white hair and his red eyes, but with no cutie mark like he had.
