How it began

                                                                              How It Began

                               Chapter 1

It was a typical summer day in Ponyville. Twilight was studying, Applejack was tending the apple orchard, Rainbow Dash was watching the weather, Fluttershy was taking care of the animals, Rarity was sewing her dresses and Pinkie Pie was working at sugar cube. All was well a group of three young fillies were leaving school to begin another day finding out what their special talent in life was.

“Okay girls,” Apple Bloom began “What do y’all reckon we do t’day to get our cutiemarks.”

“Ooh Ooh how about we try being cutiemark crusader gardeners! I’m sure Golden Harvest wont mind if we garden her carrot fields!” Sweetiebelle suggested.

“Ugh!” moaned Scootaloo “Gardening is SO boring! All you do is put seeds in a hole, water them and wait forever for them to grow.”

“Well mah special talent could be gardenin somethin other than apple trees.” Apple Bloom stated.

“Fine whatever but let’s get this over with.” Scootaloo groaned.

“Yay!” Exclaimed Sweetie Belle.

“Cutiemark Crusader gardeners!” the three yelled in unision.

The three fillies began to walk to a nearby scooter with a wagon attatched when in a quick flash something flew at full speed right onto Scootaloo.

“Hey!” Scootaloo began “Why don’t you watch where you’re going nex..” Scootaloo trailed off as she looked up to see a young colt gray pegasus hovering above her.

“Oh my gosh I’m so sorry Scootaloo I didn’t see you there, are you alright.” The young Pegasus apologized

“Yeah, I’m fine Rumble,” Scootaloo began confidently “Why wouldn’t I be? I’m not the student of the most awesome pony in Equestria for nothing,” Scootaloo boast.

“Well that’s good I was just on my way to meet Pipsqueak and Featherweight at Ponyville Park. I didn’t mean to run into you,” Rumble said.

“He’ya Rumble.” Apple Bloom introduced

“Hi Rumble.” Sweetie Belle chimed in.

“Hi Apple Bloom, hi Sweetie Belle I’d love to stay and chat but I’ve got get going. Sorry again for running into you Scootaloo. Well I’ll see you guys later, bye.”Rumble said before taking off to visit his friends.

“Bye Rumble!” Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom called out in unison.

“Alright girls, let’s go,” Scootaloo said as she strapped on her helmet and got her scooter.

The two other fillies looked at each other with knowing smiles as the got into the basket attatched to Scootaloo’scooter.

“So...” Apple Bloom started as Scootaloo buzzed her wings and began to pull the trio to Golden Harvest’s farm. “You sure did try to act all tough like when you were talkin to Rumble.” Apple Bloom pointed out in a suspicious tone.

Scootaloos heartbeat began to quicken as she started to realize where this conversation was headed.

“Yeah Scootaloo what was up with that? It looked you were trying to impress him.” Sweetie Belle stated.

“Ya know if ah didn’t know any better I’d reckon ya had a crush on him.”

Scootaloo came to sudden screething hault as she turned around to look at both of the young fillies in her wagon.

“NO!” Scootaloo yelled. “I do not have a crush on Rumble! I’m not into that mushy love stuff anyways. Plus Rumbles not even half as cool or awesome as I am.” Scootaloo protested.

“But he’s one of the most popular colts in school and he’s really cute.” Sweetie Belle added.

“No, just… no.” Scootaloo said as she started up her wings and began to move forward again.

Scootaloo could hear Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle giggling in the back wagon. Scootaloo merely rolled her eyes and moved towards Golden Harvest’s farm and brought her closer to the doom that awaited her.

                                               Mean While At Ponyville library

“Spike, Spike!” A lavender mare who had recently became a princess called to her number one assistant as she trotted down the stairs to give a new list of aarons for the baby dragon to run for her.

“Up here Twilight!” The young purple dragon called out as he tried to balance himself on a stack of books tall enough so he could reach the top shelf to organize and clean the row of books so he could finish his daily chores and go about his daily business.

“Spike have you seen my book on germs, fungi and bac-” Twilight trailed off as she saw the book she was looking for was in the stack of books Spike was balancing on.

Seeing the book, she levitated it from within the stack of balanced books causing the books to become unbalanced and topple over causing spike to fall face first to the ground.

“Spike stop playing around, I have a list of aarons I need you to get done before sundown.”Twilight said in annoyed tone of voice

Spike got up, dusted himself up and snorted as a thin layer of black smoke escaped his nose. Twilight levitated a scroll with a list of about twenty things for spike to do from getting groceries to visiting friends. Spike sighed as he took the list of aarons and departed to the door until just when he was about to leave he belched out a bright green fire from his mouth as scroll formed right in front of him and dropped into his hands.

“Hey Twi you got a letter from the princ- ugh!” Spike flew back right onto the door as Twilight levitated and unrolled the scroll in front of her as she read it aloud.

My faithful student Twilight Sparkle

It seems a matter of concern has arose that could spell trouble for a large amount of ponies. Two Villages on the northern end of the Equestrian border have broken into a large disagreement. A river that separates the two villages to the east and west of sides of the river is being disputed over. The west village is the Zebra Village of Stripefield and the east village is the earthpony village of Hoofton. A special plant that grows at  the base of the river has special healing abilities and the two villages can’t come to an agreement. If there is no compromise a civil battle could break out putting many ponies in jeopardy. I trust that you and your friends can solve the issue.

Dear Princess Celestia

“Oh my, that sounds serious. Spike take the day off I have to get everyone so we can go settle the dispute for the princess.” Twilight and Spike walked out the library as Spike closed the door behind them. ‘Okay Spike I’ll try to be home by nightfall. Please Don’t get into any trouble, okay.”

Spike nodded his head and said “I’ll be fine Twilight go do what you have to do for the princess; nothing bad is going to happen.

Twilight gave spike a warm smile and brought him under her wing. Spike blushed when twilight removed her wing and teleported to go get her friends leaving Spike to wonder what he’s going to today Little did they know that a time of great pain and chaos was upon them and all of equestrian.

The Reign Of Chaos Begins

The Reign Of Chaos Begins

                  Chapter 2

         Yesterday

Princess Celestia sat on her throne going about her daily, royal buisness. She would recive updates on the wellbeing of her citizans, raise the sun each morning and of course recive letters from Twilight and her friends on their discoveries about the magic of friendship. Celestia just finished reading a report of the well being of Cloudsdale. She looked out  the window to the left of her wich overlooked Ponyville and the everfree forest. She sighed wishing she could have a normal life for a day or two.

"Sometimes I wish I were a regular pony," Celestia thought to herself. " Doing simple everyday things, having fun with friends and not being glorified by everypony all the time."

Celestia stood up from her throne and walked the path of stairs that led to the floor. She walked by her guards who just stood still as a rock looking forward as she walked past them.

" I wonder what Luna is up to," Celestia thought. "We haven't talked for a few days ever since Twilight returned from her trip to the human world to retive her crown from Sunset Shimmer. I'd love to spend time with her fow awhile and just have fun like sisters do."

Celestia walked down the halls of canterlot castlel; She would pass by ocassional guards and pictures of family and close friends. As she got closser she began to hear laughter emerged from her sisters closed door and the sound of gaming technology.

" Playing video games again Luna," Celestia said to herself ina whisper with a soft chuckle.

Celestia raised her hoof to knock on her sister door when she heard a fimular voice speaking to her sister.

"Haha! Luna I win again I told you playing as Kirby against Sonic was a terible choice. I got the smash ball four times while you only got it ounce!" Discord laughed as luna let out an annoyed groan.

"We shall see about that Discord! It is not fair if we play on your custom stage of Chaos, I can hardley move without taking thirty damage. So this time We shall battle on Ponymon stadiam instead." Luna argued back at Discord.

"Fine then but it will hardly make a difference." Discord bragged.

The two proceeded with their game as Celestia who was still behind Luna's door was shocked at what she had just heard. She never would have expected Discord to be having fun with Luna. If anything Celestia thought Discord would torchure her or try to corrupt her back into being Nightmare Moon but Playing video games with her just seemed impossible.

Celestia shook the thought off her mind and knocked on her sisters door.

"Who art though," Luna yelled, her mind currently focusing on beating  Discord ounce and for all.

"It's me Luna, may I come in?" Clestia answered through the door.

"Of course Tia come in," Luna yelled through door again

Celestia opened the door and stepped in only to see a determined Luna and and cocky looking Discord staring at the t.v screen.

"well if it isn't the beautiful Princess Celestia," Discord began in a pleased tone. "Please take a seat as soon as i defeat you sister with this ponymon ball you can join us."

"Thank you," Celestia said in a cautious tone. "I can't wait to play."

Luna was silent only to sudenly shout an earth shaking "HAZAA!" As Discord shouted a suprise and angry "What!"

"That's not possible," Discord began. " How did I loose! I'm always able to dodge hammers! Gaah!" Discord screamed

Celestia let out a light chuckle as Luna laughed out loud cheering. Noticing this Discord chalenged Luna and Celestia in a two on one fight. Celestia acepted and the three of them would play videogames for hours until the time came for Celestia to lower her sun and for Luna to raise her moon. The three of them stepped out onto Lunas balcony to witness the nightly event. Luna wished the two goodnight as she flew off her balcony to begin her routine of entering the dreams of ponies leaving Celestia and Discord alone on the balcony.

"Well discord," Celestia began. "You seem to be adjusting to your new life style rather well."

"Well i will admit I miss doing whatever i want but I'm actualy enjoying everything." Discord replied

"And how aur visits with Fluttershy?" Celestia asked.

Oh they're just marvelous Celestia I do quite enjoy my time with Fluttershy."

"That's great to hear," Celestia said as she and Discord exited Lunas room and entered the hallway. "So I'll see you tommorow morning for breakfest?" Celestia asked

"You have my word Princess." Discord answered formaly doing a bow to the princess.

Celestia chuckled as she turned around and walked away to go to sleep for the night. She began to think that maybe Discord really was changed. A slight blush appeared on her face as she heard Discord snap his fingures to go to his room for the night.

Discord appeared in his room in the fourth castle tower. Discords room was only what you clould expect from him, pure chaos. The walls changed colors, objects flew around and talked, everthing was a complet mess. Discord took pride in his room, for it was the only place he could be himself. Discord stretched and stood in the middle of his room. He closed his eyes and appeared in a place full of nothing but dark gray and blackness. A deep, raspy, evil sounding voice came from the nothingness and spoke to Discord.

"Are you ready," The voice began to speak to Discord. " The time has come to begin our master plan and rule Equestria ounce and for all."

'Yes of course I'm ready." Discord answered. "It's time for chaos to rule equestia ounce again."

Discord and the voice laughed evily. His eyes flashed a dark bluish color when Discord snapped his fingers and disappeared from both the nothingness and his room.

         Present Day In Pony Ville

Twilight had just finished gather her friends at sugarcube corner to share with them the news Princess Celestia had sent to her.

"Alirght, so do we know what we have to do." Twilight asked her friends.

Her friends all knoded their heads in agreement as Twilight smiled

" Wait." Rainbow Dash said. "What's so special about this plant anyways aren't there plenty of othe healing plants." Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well Rainbow," Twilight began. I read something about this plant awhile back. Its a magical plant called Salipan, it only grows ounce every two hundred years and can heal any sicknes or injury and can bring prosperity to any groups of ponies that have it."

"Well then," Applejack began confidently. "What are we sittin 'round here for, let's get goin. The rest of her friends stood up and walked out the door together to begin their quest to stop an outbreak of a civil war between the ponies and the zebras.

About the same time Spike was walking through Ponyville wondering what to do. he stopped and looked around the town only for his eyes to spot a large cloud of smoke rising from in the distance. Spike's curiosity kicked in  forcing him to run twoards the source of the smoke to see what was happening. When spike arrived at the source he was shocked at what he saw. Golden Harvest's carrot fields were a mess. Carrots were torn from the root, the ground was covered in smoke. As if he weren't worried enough he heard four famiular voice coughing and screaming for help. He was the only one around, so he charged into the blackness hoping to save the stranded ponies. Being a dragon spike eyes adjusted to thickness of the  smoke  and he was able to breath in the smoke. Spike ran through the house of smoke and was able to roughly make out for ponies huddled together on the floor with their muzzels. Spike ran up to them and tapped them on the shoulder only to get a quiet moan from Sweetie Belle in response. He knew he couldn't carry them all out at ounce but he couldn't risk getting them out one by one so with his mind racing he finaly came up withan idea. He took in a deep breath and let out a giant green flame of fire insinerating the wall, leaving a giant hole leading outside where the wall once stood. He pushed with all his might and yelled for them to try to push their way out. Golden Harvest was the first to respond, she tried to lift up Apple Bloom and scotaloo with all the power she had left and carried them out side. Spike picked up Sweetieblle, carried her out side and layed her on the ground softly. Now he had to figure out how to put the fire out. as his brain searched for an answer his thoughts were stopped as a splash of water hit the blazing fire and put it out immediately.

Spike turned around to see Big Macintosh with an empty bucket of water in his mouth. as the smoke and fire died down he began to hear Apple Bloom and Scootaloo cough and slowly sit up as Golden Harvest finished reviving the two fillies. Spike looked down at Sweetie Belle and began to perform CPR. He Pushed on her stomache a few times only to get no response finaly as tears began to form in his eyes he pressed his lips on hers and blew into her mouth. he began to smile as Sweetie Belle bagn to cough and opened her eyes to see spike standing above her.
