A New Lord of Chaos

With Rainbow Dash effectively stuck in place, I decided to focus on Fluttershy. Stilled curled up in a ball shivering at the end of the hall she came in at. Just looking at her in this state was enough to pluck at my heartstrings and made me offer her a little sympathy.

I snapped my fingers. Drawing the attention of everyone in the room using my peripherals I saw that some had confused looks as nothing happened in the room but Luna she looked worried. I just kept watching the screen waiting for my little interference to make an appearance.

Fluttershy was still curled up in her little ball waiting to be found and hoping that it was her friends who discovered her. Not knowing that they could not make it to her and that she was constantly being watched by the master of the house.
She just sat there curled up doing her best to hide in her considerable mane and tail looking less like a pegasus and more like a discarded ball of cotton candy. Suddenly a sound echoed down the hall causing her to fold even further in on herself somehow managing to completely hide all of her yellow fur in the seemingly endless mass of pink. The noise kept repeating over and over drawing closer. A steady weighty noise like a giant bare foot slapping against the marble floor.
The noise kept drawing nearer as it seemingly increased in volume the echo causing it to sound like several dozen of the things were heading towards her. She began to whimper. She was nearing outright tears when the noise stopped. Only to be replaced by silence.

While Fluttershy feared whatever sort of beast had been set upon her by the monster her date had become it seemed as though she would at least meet her fate eye to eye. Slowly she used her wing to part her mane and look out with one enormous blue tear filled eye. Needless to say she was shock when instead of finding some terrible giant conjured up designed to eat ponies she found herself face to face with a rabbit.

This was no ordinary rabbit, it was of such a size that she felt that calling it a bunny would be insulting. This rabbit was nearly as big as any of the cutie mark crusaders, and looked to easily outweigh Feather Weight the diminutive colt that went to school with the girls. This rabbit looked to weigh at least one stone and gave an obvious answer to the noise that had approached her it was the sound of it hopping.

The rabbit was an inky black making the pink of its nose and ears stand out more then on her own rabbit Angel. It tail seemed to look more like a fifth foot as it lacked the curly cottony tail Angel and the other local rabbits had. The way it held itself remind Fluttershy of a rather fat noble woman she had seen at Shining Armor and Cadence’s wedding. Unlike that mare this rabbit looked healthier and held itself with more poise having only one extra chin, and the rabbit was clearly not trying to hide the voluminous roll of mass in a dress at least two sizes too small.

Before Fluttershy was a fine example of a Flemish Giant doe. The rabbit gave one last hop before nuzzling the shy mare. This simple act got her to put her hooves under her and stand up.
When she stood up the rabbit backed off and were it had stood before her was now a message.

“How far down the rabbit hole will you follow? To leave the game at any time just say ‘I Quit’ and you shall be brought to Luna’s side. Delirium.”

Fluttershy pondered at the meaning behind the words for a moment before noticing the large rabbit was quickly gaining distance on her. She watched the rabbit near the end of the hall slow to a stop, then consider her followed by the right hand passage. Before sprinting down the hall to join her new lapin friend.

“So that was what you did.” That same ashen mare said.

Several of the guard seemed confused about my actions. With maybe one or two seeming to understand why.

Luna was the first to ask any sort of question concerning what had just transpired. “What sort of depraved magic did you cast on that poor rabbit?”

Much to her surprise and the guards shock I just barked out a laugh.

“Depraved magic? It’s cute that you think everything I do is some evil gesture. I just gave her the same level of intelligence any other animal on this planet seems to have and gave her a simple order.”

One of the guards spoke up a peach earth pony. “Then why is that bunny so big?”

“Big? You think she was big? She barely weighs one stone.”

The guards seemed to flinch back at this. ‘Seems like I finally found a measurement system they use.’ Several guards turned to whisper into their neighbor’s ears.

“Finally, a measurement system you seem to understand. I could understand if you didn’t understand the imperial system if you were using metric, but from what I heard you lot use some of the most random units of measure. When I conquer this place I am definitely introducing a new measurement system. Maybe the metric system with some base ten math.”

They all looked at me like I was mad… well more so.

“Well back to the rabbit. With that breed the record was let me see.” I trailed off for a moment did some quick mental math 1 stone = 14 lbs record is 55 lbs. “Just shy of four stones before it passed.”

They flinched again. one of them blurted out. “That’s bigger than my nephew.”

“I strip you of your powers and armor, state that I intend to conquer your nation, and yet all of you are still shocked by the fact that I am using a rabbit.” I turned to Luna. “How has your nation kept it’s rule for so long?”

Luna brought a hoof to her chin rubbing it with a far away look. Before a small blush seemed to creep across her cheeks before she averted her eyes and seemed to embarrassed to look in my general direction.

In a deadpan voice I ask. “You have no idea do you?”

Her blush increased and she stammered. “Who would dare stand against our magical might.”
