It is high noon in the shining capital of the Crystal Empire, the purple and white white flag flying high. The citizens are peacefully going about their days, when the bell sounds making their shiny skin darken in fear. They run inside, except for the few, the brave, the strong. The Crystal Guard. They charge into battle against the vicious changelings, sounds of their battle can be heard all over.
Your role in this? While the Guard can act as a big target, you will sneak around and take out more threatening enemies from behind. Should you find a queen commanding them from back there, you are to prioritize killing her: these creatures should be useless without a leader to coordinate them.

You are in position at the south side, The guards have the changeling horde occupied for now and have drawn them over to the east side facing them north.. so you can proceed to flank them and cut down the most threatening of the horde. The buzzing of their grotesque wings is loud, like a swarm of bees. You can spot a target from here actually, a larger changeling, with some kind of heavy armored shell, unfortunate for him that stupid shell slowed him down enough that you can make sure he never touches the city.

Cobalt and you work in perfect harmony, he knows when its time to get serious. Utilizing the Changeling's focus on Peaches, you attack it unopposed with a leaping strike, breaking its obnoxiously large shell into pieces. As the changeling lies exposed and shocked Cobalt slices and dices the vermin. The target is down and wounded but seems to still have some fight left. your shiny skin lighting up in pride at your teamwork.

You slam down on the target with righteous fury while Cobalt covers you. You keep slamming until the bug's eyes go completely out and legs have stopped twitching. Its organs are now usable for any kind of study, unless you wanted to study what changeling paste taste like. You crystal skin continues to shine so bright, no one can even see the blood splatter on your skin. Just the pretty Crystal Pony..
"Up ahead. I see the next target." Cobalt informs you. There is a Changeling leading 4 others, but it doesn't look like a queen, too small. It has a kind of purple mane on it, and green eyes.

The drone hisses and jumps back from your blade getting close to the Purple maned changeling who speaks to you:
"I am Fel Horn. I have seen you before Crystal Pony.. In a dream? A vision? Doesn't matter.. I know how to beat you already."
Cobalt tries to silence her but is met with a green bolt to the face.
You feel extremely confident that your next action will succeed.

Cobalt goes for a drone but Fel Horn keeps pressing on him "You rely on this one, I've ssseen it" she hisses as she fires more green magic at him. "If I take thisss one away.." Cobalt looks dazed and dull as he falls to the ground. In pure rage you charge her with your hammer and shake the foundations of her core, she falls down helpless and looks.. scared.. "I see.. but what If.. I was him.." she now resembles an exact replicate of Cobalt. "Hey, partner, help me up won't ya?"
your coat is shimmering again, cobalt (both of them) have dull coats.
>>459094
you throw out the best healing spell you've ever done, and Cobalt is even better than before, springing to his hooves. "Ah, sweet peach, thanks for the boost, but what am I doing over there?" he points to the duplicate of himself on ground.
the four changeling drones decide now is a nice time to act, and deal damage. 2 to peaches and 2 to Cobalt.
"They're trying to distract us? Pathetic." Cobalt says.
