Band Changelings Part 3
#3 of Band Changelings
Queen Chrysalis has a plan to attack the Crystal Empire again, but this time as a Marching Band! Based on the Spongebob episode "Band Geeks"
Day 2...
The changelings were all marching around the outside of the hive. The path has a slight green aura to it and the black sides had stalactites growing under them. They were next to the green wall that lead into the hive, and the other side lead to a deep abyss. Within the mass, brass was in the back followed by percussion, and then woodwinds; all of which were playing quite poorly, but a bit better than the previous day. At the front was Chrysalis leading the band while walking back wards while the two-changeling Color Guard weakly twirled the red flags on the silver poles.
"Flag twirlers, I want to see some spinning!" Chrysalis yells at the Color Guard as they start to spin faster. "Come on flag twirlers, I want to see some spinning!" The Color Guard spun even faster. "Flag Twirlers, let's move!!!" After that the flag twirlers twirled so fast that their flags become like propellers and the flew right into a tank, causing quite the explosion. With bits of the red flag parachuting back down, Doomie plays a funeral song on his trumpet. Everybody mourns... except for Chrysalis who is now lying on the ground thinking oh, dear goodness, what have I gotten myself into...
Day 3...
Back in the Audience Chamber, Chrysalis asks the tiny Executioner, "How's that harmonica solo coming, Jim?"
"It's tremendous, wanna see?" Jim asks. Now when I said he was small, I meant, the-harmonica-was-way-bigger-than-him small. He runs to his first note and plays it, he now runs to next note until he is completely out of breath. He is now just spitting into the instrument as screams out in pain for him. Jim then collapses, completely breathless.
Day 4...
Chrysalis is up at the front of the Audience Chamber. "Well this is our last night together before the show" she states with fake confidence "but I can see that we got absolutely nowhere..." she adds as she sees Steve chewing on his instrument. "But I have a theory, people talk loudly when they want to act smart, right?" she adds in a last-ditch move in hopes to get them to at least sound believable.
"Correct!" Jim chimes in.
Chrysalis continues "So maybe if we play loudly, people will think we're good! Ready?" After that, all the changelings hold their instruments in excitement, and when they play... the notes crash so hard, cysts started bursting everywhere, send a strange green liquid flowing all over the hive. Chrysalis, with pinned to the wall from the sound states as her baton breaks "Okay, new theory, maybe we should play so quietly, no one can hear us."
A changeling yells out in frustration "Well maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some of us didn't try to play with big meaty hooves."
The changeling next to him heard his insult, makes a threatening motion and asks "What did you say, punk?"
"Big, meaty, hooves!" the first replies in a smug fashion
"Well these hooves are not just for impersonating Big Mac!" The second changeling says as he waves his hooves in circles, itching for a fight.
"Bring it on punk, bring it on!" The first one says motioning to himself
Doomie cuts in "No guys, let's be smart and bring it off."
A fourth changeling, quite annoyed, says "Oh, so now the talking cheese is going to preach to us"
Chrysalis states worriedly, "Okay, I know tensions are high" Boom! A giant fight breaks out with the entire hive. Instruments are being used as jousting lances, bos, and other weapons. "There's a deposit on that equipment... Settle down!" Chrysalis futilely yells to try to stop the fighting, however the moment the time comes for everyone to call it a day...
"Hey! Class is over!" All the fighting stops and everyone starts to leave the audience chamber. Before they could leave, Chrysalis, fighting back tears appears at the exit.
"Well, you did it" she starts, looking like she is about to cry "you took probably our only chance and striking the Crystal Empire again, and you crushed it. Crushed it in to little, bitty, bite-sized pieces. I expected better of you, I guess I'm a loser for that, now. Don't bother showing up tomorrow, I'm going to have find a new target. So thanks, thanks for nothing." Chrysalis leaves the Audience Chamber to head up to her room, where she will then proceed to cry until her tears run dry.
Back in the Chamber, Doomie couldn't stand the guilt of see his Queen so upset, he just had to speak up. "What kind of monsters are we?" he begins. "That poor creature came to us in her hour of need, and we failed her. Chrysalis has always lead us through our conquests and has been there for us when it was convenient." Doomie walks up to the Changeling that dissed him earlier. "Sally, when your friend was trapped in a fire, who rescued him?"
Sally states in confusion "A firepony?"
Doomie then walks up to a large, muscular changeling and asks "Hans, when your heart gave out from all those canning pills, who revived you?"
Hans responds "Some guy in an ambulance."
Doomi then gets to his point "Right. So, if we can all just pretend that Chrysalis was a firepony, or some guy in an ambulance, then I'm sure that we can all pull together and discover what it truly means to be in a marching band."
The changeling that instigated the entire fight yells out "Yeah! For the firepony!" All the changelings start cheering.
Doomie goes up to the podium, picks up the podium and says "Alright, let's make our Queen proud." Doomie begins the count-off "A-1, a 2, a skiddleliddledoo."
