In chapter two it turns out her former friend Trapcastle ''has'' been secretly doing her best to look out for her from afar.

-->She was lying to her friends. The strength was false. Mask-shifting wasn't like a true Shift at all, it was just a mind trick. What she had actually done was turn off the normal governors that any Changeling has to keep them from expending their last endurance, the reserves which maintained major organ functions.
-->She could keep going for a good while like this -- then something would give. Her heart, her blood vessels -- if she was lucky she would just faint. If she were unlikely, she could drop dead in her tracks, without her own bodily sensations giving her any hint of danger. When she had been taught this technique in her Infiltrator training, she had been warned that it was extremely dangerous, something she should not attempt save in an extreme emergency, if there were no better options.

* TankGoodness: Equestria already had motor vehicles before the war, and -- thanks to the [[DeusEstMachina Paradise Entity]], had lots and lots of ancient AFV designs available for production. They downloaded the designs, built the vehicles, and began using armored formations as early as their first major counterattacks, to great effect against the shocked Changelings.

* NuclearOption: Equestria started using "earthfire" (nuclear fission) bombs to break Changeling strongholds and troop concentrations early in the war, when the Changelings were occupying large parts of Equestria, and they have continued to do so as they have driven the Changelings back into the Badlands. Given that the Sisters are [[PersonOfMassDestruction living weapons of mass destruction]] themselves, Equestria is not overawed by the might of the atom.

A WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic written by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Jordan179 Jordan179]] in 2014.
April, YOH 1515, fifteen years after Luna's Return. Two years ago, the High Queen Nightmare Hunger of the Changelings united hundreds of Hives behind her and launched a massive invasion of Equestria. The Equestrians repelled the assault, and now their armies, equipped with new weapons and reinforced by many Friendly Changeling Hives, are bombarding Queen Hunger's last stronghold.
One Changeling, Theoretical Infiltrator Compound, predicted this disaster. She has been punished for her pessimism by being assigned to the Provisional Hive Defense Swarm, given a spear, and with her two team mates, the Worker "Provisional Warriors" Carry and Cowl, told to defend the Hive against the well-armed and numerous foe.
Now, all Compound can do is struggle to survive -- and keep her buddies alive -- in a Hive gone mad.
