So many people lost- completely lost- without any trace at all.
Amanda was a student who liked to put her nose in things she didn't concern what so ever. You can describe her as a part-time detective of some sort.

It was just strange: several people had strange visits or meetings, their furniture and belongings were changed and in the end- every single time- every single one of them just vanished- leaving one or two changed motel rooms, cars and houses as an only trace.

There had to be some connection between those cases and after Amanda snooped around enough time she found out that there were black vans involved, every single time. Amanda put a websearch and signs on lamposts at every place with her mobile phone number.
So she decided to search for a pattern. In the end all vans must have come from a specific area everytime.
She was in luck, someone called her to inform her that a van indeed had been seen, so she jumped in the car and traced the black van until she found a small opening in an old forest area. After hiding her car she sneaked around the area and found an old military place. She noticed fresh paint and just recently used items everywhere on the compound, but nobody was to be found- something felt off.

Steps- Amanda was looking behind her shoulder- did she see things or was it just a far too long day for her anyways.
More steps – ok, now it was really something. Amanda followed the steps and saw some pitch black animals which, after noticing being watched, scattered and hid themselves. They were far too fast to catch for Amanda. Searching around for more traces she heard many steps at once. Being frightened a bit she startet to jog, then run.
Then she saw them: it seemed like it was several humans wearing some kind of black clothing- it was hard to find out what exactly those creeps were wearing for Amanda.
Without warning all of the black creatures jumped at Amanda, grabbing her legs. Panicking, she kicked the arms away, turned and ran, faster, even faster until she came to a full sprint. Those creatures were after her for sure. Looking for a place to hide she ran through the abandoned village but those black creatures seemed to be everywhere.
„Here, come in, quick!“, a sudden voice was calling Amanda inside. Without any hesitation Amanda jumped inside.
„Thank you, I don't know what those creeps would have done to me.“, Amanda began to say but then she inspected her rescuer farther: it was a giant plush pony: mostly pink but with an impressive three colored mane, wearing a little crown and it even had a horn. It took not much effort to define what it was supposed to be for Amanda: „You are wearing a Cadence-costume? Really?“, she said.
„Why not, sweetheart, it is fun, you should try it yourself“
„I decline that offer“, Amanda replied and wanting to leave the house again.
„You should think about that. First, the black creatures are still waiting for you from the outside and who knows what they might do to you if they catch you. Second, you seem to have been injured. With that I cannot risk you running around outside, you might get yourself killed for sure.“, the pink pony explained.
„Fine then“, Amanda accepted her short-time break „do you have any bandages or desinfection stuff in your house?“
„Of course, silly, just lay down, drink my medicine and do whatever I tell you to do!“, the pink pony exclaimed, a tad too loud.
„I don't need any medicine, just give me bandages and I am out again in no time.“
„No, you stay here“, the strange suited person slightly became more aggressive, pushing Amanda onto her bed.
„Hey, what was that about...“ Amanda asked being a bit confused. At that right moment a few of the black creatures appeared, strapping Amanda onto the bed, fastening and gagging her.
The pink pony began to speak: „Now since we have our newest recruit, let me introduce myself, I am Cadence, haha, just kidding...“, and with that the pink pony removed her head revealing a pitch black fursuit under it. It looked like..., like... „You are really into this pony thing, aren't you, even acting as Cadence or may I say Chrysalis?“, Amanda said.
„What do you mean, acting? I AM Chrysalis! I always was and always will be. And YOU will join our ranks! Bring the medicine!“
And with that another two minions arrived, forcing the shorly ungagged mouth of Amanda open only to pour a strange liquid in her mouth. Apparently resisting was futile.
„Now we have you in our clutches, sweety, better get used to it. The sooner you give in the easier it is going to be for you!“, Chrysalis said and vanished out the door.
Had it been hours, days inside the house? Amanda lost her sense of time while she was forced to drink the strange „medicine“. To make it all worse the minions had forced a black rubber suit on her making her look like a professional diver. But in that case it had a snout like a horse. With that thing on she could not speak anything anymore. The suit had just a single hole to fit another bottle of medicine.

„What do you mean, we have an intruder?!“, Celestia shouted at her team.
„Yes, we traced a few black creatures which were following a female human being from outside, your highness.“, one of the workers said.
„Black creatures?“
„Yes, it seems the lost workers have decided to appear again after all that time.“
„What about the human? We need to save her!“, Celestia said.
„She might be lost if we are not already too late“, Luna said without passion.
„There still is one chance, since she already knows too much. We can't risk losing another person to that lunatic again!“, Celestia said being slightly encouraged. „We shouldn't lose any time, what options do we have?“
„Since she seems to have discovered this whole place she seems to be a smart person and you know what character might fit her“, Luna said.
„You aren't telling me that we adopt that woman to our society?“
„We can't let her go, she knows too much already. Prepare the contract, the standard procedure and bring your best ponies and persons with you!“, and with that Luna started the lead. Celestia picked a purple fursuit and followed after her.

„Why are you so stubborn? The medicine must have shown any effect by now. But nothing happens, nothing at all!“, Chrysalis shouted, kicking one of her minions overturning a nearby table.
Amanda didn't react at all. The medicine did show some effect but she concentrated to not move too fast to keep the process as slowly as possible acting as being uncouncious.

Then there was a knock on the door.
Nobody opened.
Another knock.
„We know you are inside, Sam! Open up the damn door!“, Luna requested.
„Sam is dead, I am CHRYSALIS!“, was the reaction from inside.

Then the door broke, it must have been driven by impact.
Celestia and Luna appeared, followed by some strong persons, it was a peculiar sight for sure.
The minions fled the scene, leaving only Sam/Chrysalis inside.
„So that is what you have been up to“, Luna said being a bit amused, scanning the appearance of her former 'chief in command'. A horn, green wings, a green mane and a strange smell accompanied the torn and messed fursuit. It was a sight indeed.
„You did this to me! And you will pay for that!“, Chrysalis screemed charging at Luna with full force but the workers defended their ruler pony really effectively, resulting Chrysalis to fall on her hooves. She stood up and ran into the darkness, she vanished completely without a trace.
After a few seconds Luna and Celestia attended their attention to Amanda who still was waiting there being tied up. She was freed and was about to leave to be greeted with a giant Twilight sparkle fursuit.
„Are you out of your mind? I am not into this kind of stuff!“, Amanda shouted only to meet Luna's threatening stare with her eyes.
„You have been trespassing our society without any invitation. You decided to snoop around and without our help you would have been ended as one of 'Chrysalis' minions for sure. What about being a bit thankful here?“, Luna said.
„In your dreams, I am gonna get out of here“, Amanda said shrugging her shoulders.
She was held back.
„That is no option anymore, my dear, since you already drank our water. The effects might show sooner or later so we should make the best out of it.“, Luna said.
„What do you mean?“
„You are going to be our newest addition, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!“, Celestia said cheerfully.
„You are kidding me“
„Not at all, sign the contract and we take care of everything. Or do you really believe that Chrysalis is ever going to forget about you? She is looking for revenge and we are the only ones who can protect you from her.“, Celestia comforted, „Just sign the contract and we are set“.
„That was an order“, Luna chimed in holding the suit upright.
Although she had a bad feeling about that she kind of had to admit that she always imagined to wear a Twilight Sparkle fursuit.
„Although I kind of like the thought I have to refuse that offer.“, Amanda said and squeezed through the crowd, running as fast as she could.

„You are really telling me that there is an underground society with lunatic fursuiters, kidnapping people and making them to act as characters from a kid's TV show?“, the police officer asked, not believing what Amanda claimed.
„Yes, you should bring reinforcements and storm that place!“, Amanda said slightly frustrated.
„Yeah, yeah, miss...“, the policeman said „we take care of everything and you go home and sleep under you unicorn blanket with your helping plushies, they really might save you from the bad black creatures“, laughed and shoved her out of the office.
„Friend and helping hand, my ass“, Amanda said as she drove home.
To her surprise her front door had been kicked in and the place looked like a bulldozer had been run over everything in every room. Her house was a mess. Panicking she ran outside only to meet the black creatures again.
„One of us..“, they said always repeating those two words again and again.
„Whatever drugs you guys are taking, you really need to reduce the dose“, Amanda said trying to appear courageous.
„One of us...“, now the situation got out of hand, Amanda defended against those lunatics as fast as she could but there were far too many of them.

At that right moment a black van appeared with Luna, Celestia, Pinkie Pie, Derpy Hooves and even Rainbow Dash. They charged at the black creatures and drived all of them out.

„Have you considered?“, Luna asked.
„You might have a point here, I can't live here anymore and those creatures really seem to 'like' me.“
„So what is your decision? Areyouinorareyouinorareyouin?“, Pinkie asked enthusiasticly.
„It surely will be fun“, Derpy added.
„Cool it will be for sure“, Rainbow Dash said putting an arm over Amandas shoulder.
Luna held the fursuit again.
Amanda sighted through the suit, then the contract. She looked around. There surely was no other option and maybe she might help to protect others from Chrysalis and her evil minions after all.
„Ok, ok, hand me the suit and get this over with“, Amanda said.






here is my original concept, almost forgot to upload it, lol.
