The Story of Mr Allan in Equestria

A few days after the Gala and things were going great. I was dating Rainbow Dash, I had no letter's from CLM, and things had gone peaceful after that Void Pony incident. But things were about to change...

Canterlot Castle

A small guard force was patrolling the perimeter of the Castle, constantly checking for spies. They had been ordered by Celestia to check the area after a strange magical disturbance was felt. They were split into two teams, Solar team, and Luna team. Solar team was approaching Canterlot gardens, the unicorn team members were constantly scanning the area.

They arrived at the statue section and looked around for anything new. One of the guards stopped and sat down, a long day deserves a bit of a break after all. He decided to admire some of the statues while on break, each of them were to great interest. But something was different, he noticed some shards of stone on the floor, he looked up to see the statue it came from , except there was one problem, there was no statue. He looked to it's description. His eye's widened then he galloped towards the castle.

I picked up my video camera and rushed outside after I could hear everypony panicking. When I got outside I became dumbstruck at the sight of cotton candy clouds pouring chocolate rain. Recording the whole thing I stared to notice that a building had been lifted off the ground into the air and flipped upside down. I lowered the camera once I saw Twilight and her friends galloping towards the train. I figured they might know what was going on.

I followed and stopped them before they got on the train "Wait! What's going on? Why is it raining chocolate, and why are buildings floating in the air?"

Twilight turned to me "I don't know but we're going to find out. We're headed to see the Princess, she said she'll explain everything." Without another word, they pulled me into the train and we waited for about an hour until it stopped.

When we got out we were greeted by Shadowmere "My friends, its good to see your all okay."

Twilight stepped forward "What's going on Shadowmere?"

"Princess Celestia never said, I was part of one of the teams that was checking what the problem was." He seemed disturbed by something. "Please, we must not waste time!"

We all started galloping towards the castle.

________________________________________________________________________

We arrived at the castle to be greeted by Celestia "It's good to see your all okay. We have a dangerous event on our hooves that requires the use of, the Elements." I gave a confused look then realized what was going on.

This must have been one of the 'Events' that CLM mentioned. I didn't realize my shocked look until Shadowmere came up to me "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." He didn't seem convinced.

He began to open his mouth when Celestia signaled us "Come on you two, I can explain whats happening on the way."

We both followed Celestia through a hallway next to the thrones.

_________________________________________________________________________

We arrived at the large room, Celestia had explained that the reason everything was so Chaotic was because of a Draconequus named Discord. I still didn't understand anything about these 'Elements of Harmony', though it was most likely the best way I was going to learn about my 'Element'. Celestia walked up to a large door.

"In here are the Elements, you must use them to turn Discord back into stone." She placed her horn into a keyhole in the door and the door opened revealing a small box.

Before anypony could say anything Pinkie pie started to speak "Wait a second, Eternal Chaos comes with chocolate rain you guys, CHOCOLATE RAIN!"

"I do like chocolate." I said jokingly.

Shadowmere looked at me "Now is not the time to joke around."

Celestia levitated the box in front of everypony "I am highly confident you'll be able to defeat Discord, with these." The box opened to reveal an empty interior. Everypony except me gasped.

Celestia started pacing in disbelief "Impossible! That door is protected by a spell that only I can get past, how could he possibly get the Elements?"

"Well, from what you told me, he's capable of doing anything that causes chaos, stealing the Elements would cause chaos among us. Wow my brain is really active right now." I explained.

Suddenly a voice came from nowhere "Well, look at what we have here. The Elements of Harmony, a powerful and brave soldier, and an Anomaly. Oh I'm going to have fun messing with all of you."

"Discord..." Celestia scowled.

"Celestia, its been a long time since we last met." The voice became an image on the stained glass windows. "If you want to know where the Elements are then this is all you get. Twists and turns, are my master plan. Then find the elements back where you began."

He then disappeared leaving everypony confused. While the mane six discussed it I turned to Shadowmere. "Sorry, I never gave you my name. I'm Allan."

"Allan? That's a strange name." he continued to give me a strange look.

"So what happened when you were split into two teams?"

He gave me a grim look "Lets just say...   ...I'm one of the only two survivors." I realized it would be a sensitive topic.

"Oh...    ...okay."

He looked at me as if I was being interrogated "My turn to ask a question. Do you know anything about...?" He was interrupted by Twilight.

"We're headed to the maze, we think the Elements might be hidden in there."

I couldn't let them go without me "Well then I'm joining in, I don't let my friends do something dangerous without help."

"Are you sure?" said Twilight.

"Of course I'm sure." I turned to ShadowMere "See ya around mate." I turned to leave with the others when...

"WAIT!" We all turned our heads to see ShadowMere with a serious look on his face, he turned to Princess Celestia "Your majesty, permission to assist the Elements of Harmony with their quest?"

Celestia had a confident look on her face "Permission granted ShadowMere, don't let me down." he nodded and galloped towards us.

As he passed me he gave me an unfriendly look, he didn't trust me. Either way we didn't have time to waste, we all galloped towards the maze.

___________________________________________________________

We arrived at the maze, we all walked up to the entrance entrance "Well, guess I finally get a chance to see what's inside."

Rainbow dash walked up to me "There's no need, we can just make a quick fly over and..." before she could finish her wings disappeared.

I looked around and noticed Fluttershy's wings had also disappeared, along with Twilight, Rarity, and ShadowMere's horns. I looked to my back and my eye's widened at the sight of no wings. "This can't be good, can it?"

Suddenly a large snaky figure appeared out of nowhere. "Well your right, its not good, its chaotic."

ShadowMere stepped forward "What have you done to us?!"

He had a grin on his face "Oh well its the rules of the game, your all taking part in it."

I gave a questioning look "What game? It's bound to be interesting."

"See that's what I like, enthusiasm. The game is simple if you can find the Elements in the maze, you win and I'll go back to being stone."

Twilight stepped in "But..."

"But you can't use wings, or magic. If you did it would count as cheating and then you would lose, and I win."

I didn't like the feeling of not having wings, but I had to live with it til the Elements were found. "Then lets get started shall we?" I said enthusiastically.

ShadowMere didn't seem to like how I wasn't taking this seriously. We all walked up to the entrance.

"Alright everypony, we can do this as long as we work together." said Twilight.

Then we all said as we took a step forward "TOGETHER!"

Suddenly giant hedge walls started raising from the ground between each of us. I started to panic, I didn't like being alone in a place like this. I started galloping through the maze fast.

_________________________________________________________________________

After what felt like an hour I had stopped galloping to breath and look around. I looked along the corridor of hedge to see an entrance nearby, I rushed over to it and looked through to see...     ...Lyra. I was so surprised, she was in the maze with us. I walked up to her. "Lyra, its so good to see you, this place creeps me out. Hey how did you get in here anyway?"

She gave me a cold look "What are you doing here?"

"M.....me and the others are here to...."

She stared into my eyes with anger "Here to what Allan?!" there was a moment of tense silence between us. "Our friendship means nothing, I hate you now more than I ever have."

A lone tear started dropping down my face "B....but Lyra....what did I....?"

"What you did doesn't matter any more." she turned away from me "I think you should just leave."

I spoke in a broken voice "Lyra...."

"JUST LEAVE!"

I backed up then turned to galloping away in tears. I felt myself broken, my best friend hated me. Once the tears were done I looked down at my hooves, I was looking a bit grey but I didn't care anymore, I felt like there was no more point in stopping Discord. I turned towards section of the hedge that had collapsed, through it came Twilight, ShadowMere, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity.

"Allan! Oh thank Celestia it's good to see you." said Twilight.

ShadowMere looked at me as if he knew something was wrong "He doesn't look well."

"I'm fine I just.....don't want to talk right now."

"He looks perfectly fine to me." said Applejack.

"We don't have time for this, lets keep moving." said ShadowMere.

"Yeah....lets go." I said in a depressed voice.

___________________________________________________________________

We walked into a small area of the hedge where we found Fluttershy. "Fluttershy!" yelled Twilight.

"We've been looking allover the maze, and still no Elements." said ShadowMere.

"OH, boo, hoo, hoo." Twilight and ShadowMere were shocked at her response.

I lost attention from the conversation and looked towards the sky. I saw Rainbow dash flying away with her wings. "Of all the friends I thought would abandon me next, the one I'm dating was last one I expected." Twilight turned to me when I said that.

She looked to the sky and was in shock upon seeing her. "I....I don't believe it."

"Don't be surprised, friends always leave you behind in the end." I said in a depressed tone.

Suddenly the maze started to fall apart leaving nothing but an area full of dirt. Discord appeared in front of us. "Looks like the Element of Loyalty isn't very loyal after all." ShadowMere and Twilight gave shocked looks "Looks like I win, and Equestria will be plunged into chaos, FOREVER!"

Twilight looked down at the ground "How could we let this happen?"

I looked towards Ponyville in the distance "The first rule of chaos: there are no rules. That's how we let this happen."
