A New Lord of Chaos

‘Did I really just make a Beatleguise reference? Oh well it fits.’ Rising up from where I had been sitting I finished my drink in one long pull before throwing the glass to the ground behind me.

Twilight backed off. Her hard gaze turning nervous at my sudden attitude change. The others seemed to realize that something was happening as the panicking ponies ran out of the room.

When the three of them were focusing on me I had a great idea. Reaching up with a hoof I seized the horn on my head. I gave them a sadistic grin.

----Twilight----

This stallion just seemed to find delight in the near riot happening around us. His actions becoming quicker as the ponies around us grew into a lather. I watched as he quickly gave Fluttershy a kiss on the cheek, then announced in a voice that could have put Luna’s royal Canterlot voice to shame “It’s Show Time!” Then thunder crashed.

What I saw him do next is something every unicorn has nightmares about happening and he did it to himself. I could only watch in mute horror as he snapped his own horn off of his head with a smile. He must truly be mad because he didn’t even flinch at what should have been a cripplingly painful injury.

Without even giving it a second thought he spun his horn in hoof and slammed the point into the ground. What happened next made Fluttershy faint and made Pinkie and I almost be sick.

I could only watch in horror as what appeared to be tumorous growths began appearing along his body. Each one growing rapidly taking various shapes all across his body. Some grew faster than others altering the balance of him. The oddly shaped lumps of flesh began stretching and moving contorting his body in ways no pony was meant to move.

The sounds grinding began filling the room as his shape kept shifting. Sickening pops and cracks echoed through the now empty room as his body further twisted. I could only watch in horror as his hooves shattered each one breaking into five points. Slowly the splits moved up and they began to unfurl. Each end moving into a parallel line forming a mismatched set of opposable digits. The formations on his fore limbs changed dramatically. Forming a limb, I had only scene on Minotaur’s, diamond dogs, and on myself, after I had crossed through the looking glass; he had hands. His body continued to take a shape I was familiar with looking all the more like the beings on the other side. He forced his body into a bipedal stance standing upright for the first time.

As soon as he had stood the mussels forming around his body shifted faster stretching the skin moving the bones faster. In places I could only watch sickened as the bones dimpled his body causing the skin under the fur to crack. It was almost like watching a snake egg hatch as the skin rippled, fell flat, and bulged. Cracks began spreading across his body revealing a red glow under his skin. The wounds should have been bleeding profusely but instead it looked more like he was molting. As the fur pealed and fell away I could see pale peach colored flesh appearing in the now bare patches replacing the red glow of whatever foul magic he was using.

Viewing his face reforming was by far the worst. His eyes bulged and changed colors before shrinking and moving forward from the sides of his head to the fore giving him true binocular vision. His ears seemed to spasm as they migrated down his head shrinking and twisting into a set that had no movement and faced forward. His nose shrank as it moved up to between his eyes. Fluttershy came to just long enough to see the being head raised before us let out a silent yawning howl to the sky. Barring his teeth each of them subtlety shifting and changing shape most of which appeared to bare sharp points. He closed his jaws with a sharp clack bearing his predators grin at us. This was too much for her and she promptly fainted again.

I observed as he began to peel the fur off his body revealing more pale skin on his face and neck.

Rarity had turned green enough to see it through her white coat.

I had expected him to be nude after his transformation but as he kept peeling off the fur bits of it clung on in places. They slowly shifted in to fabric the suit he had been wearing when this had all began seemed to have stretched. Fitting his new shape the fur and bits of flesh that fell to the ground around him began forming around his lower extremities.

Then lightning flashed and before my eyes could readjust to the sudden flash of light it was over. Standing before her was a form she had only seen in one place. The world she had entered to retrieve her diadem the element of magic.

----Delirium----

The looks on their faces when I transformed… priceless. Sure I could have made it appear painless done the whole thing in a flash of light or sudden darkness, but those reactions worth the time. Pinkie well her mane was constantly flattening and curling, Twilight looked terrified and curious, and poor Fluttershy… passed out on the floor wings twitching like she was trying to fly away.

I stretched a bit loosening up, and moaned. “Fuck! Do you have any idea how hard it is to stay hunched over like that?”

I stretched down and seized the horn I had forced into the floor and with a tug I turned it back into my cane. I gave it a quick spin with my fingers before setting the tip back on the ground. Settling my weight onto the cane I leaned forward and gave Twilight a cocky grin, she backs off a bit clearly unsettled by everything that had happened.

“Well I’m only going to say this once so…” I slammed my cane down and Applejack flashed into the room next to Twilight.

Her back was to me and before I could get a word in Applejack started crying to Twilight. “Thank goodness you teleported me here. Some monster took Princess Celestia.”

This shocked Twilight visibly. “What?”

“It’s true I never saw a critter like it. It had…” As she described me I displayed they attributes to Twilight. “Black and white hair. Green and blues eyes. It walked on two legs.”

I cut in. “It had fair skin and is devilishly handsome.”

This got her to finally turn around and notice I was standing right behind her.

“You!” Rarity accused.

“Me.” I agreed with a leer.

“How could ya take the Princess?” Applejack asked.

I laughed, and they gave me dirty looks. “Oh, save those you will need them in a minute.”

“Why?” Pinkie inquired.

“Why simple, Celestia is not the only thing I’ve taken from you this week.”

This drew confused looks from everyone but Twilight who gave me a suspicious glare.

“Oh, Twilight just figured out were the elements of harmony went.” They gasped in horror at this revelation. ‘Oh, this is going to get so much sweeter.’ “Know which one of the five of you can guess my other crime?”

More blank stares from everyone but Fluttershy who was still passed out on the floor. Behind the glare Twilight was trying to think.

“Come now, does not one of you wants to try?” I got no response from them. I shrugged my shoulders and went on. “Well so be it.”

I tapped my cane on the ground and there was a flash in Fluttershy’s mane. Thus pissing off Twilight enough to speak. "What did you just do to her?"

“I gave her your invitation. Stop on by if you ever want to get the elements or Rainbow Dash back again. Ta-ta.” I tapped my cane on the ground and reappeared at home in my throne room.

Not even five minutes later Dash bursts into the room huffing and clearly pissed off. I just raised an eyebrow and waited.

Several times Dash tried to put words to her anger but got no further then opening her mouth. I let this go on for at least ten minutes, which seemed to be nine minutes too long. It seemed that I had made her so mad she was speechless.

I gave her a bored look and said. “Some time before your friends arrive.”

With that the dam burst and she went off on a tirade. She was talking so fast I caught maybe every sixth or seventh word. What it amounted to was ‘How could you lead Fluttershy on like that. What did I do to make them faint / almost throw up. What did I do to Fluttershy at the end.’

She kept going on and on never making a new point, so I just started cleaning my nails. It took her about five minutes to notice my indifference to her rant. She pause to a second to take a deep breath and saw what I was doing while she was yelling at me.

I took this break in her histrionics to slide in my two cents. “While it is entertaining to see you all hot and bothered.” She blushed and at the same time the fire in her eyes got hotter. “Your friends should be here within the next few hours. So take a bath, grab a bite to eat, take a nap, or whatever. Just be ready the games have begun!”
