2 Weeks later

      Card wing was practicing her Chaos when she heard a knock on the cave walls. “Who goes there?” She snapped and looked at the cave entrance.

“So she is alive” A voice came from the caves.

Card wing noticed it instantly, Tia?! Why would she be here! Card wing panicked and hid in her room. Soon rocks started to move with magic and Tia walked in her head held high. “Dear sister, I know you’re in here”

She sat silently shaking. Peeking around the corner and staring her sisters flowing mane. Seeing Luna she froze and stepped out. “I thought you were gone!” She sneered in hatred. Card wing was never fond of her sister Luna. After all she destroyed her hopes and dreams. She had thought for sure Tia banished her at some point…

Tia froze and Luna coolly replied. “That was only a myth, but you need to come with us.”

“Never! You two never loved me! I will never go back to such torture!” Card wing turned her head and folded her wings.

Tia flinched and tried to reply without crying. “I am deeply sorry my dear sister… Please forgive me”

Card wing just simply ignored her and her eyes blazed in anger. They think they can just walk up to me and expect me to forgive them! They haven’t seemed too lost there coldness… The words echoed in her head as she thought them. “I will never forget you Tia” She sneered looking at her with anger. “Or that dumb Luna!”

A guard bit back coldly “Her name Is Princess Celestia, and you’re coming with us.” Two guards walked up to her and grabbed her tightly.

“Let… Me… GO!” She struggled and created a cotton candy rain cloud on top of them. The two guards let go and tried to get out of the sticky cotton candy.

Celestia gasped. “D-Discord has taught you chaos?” She looked at the cotton candy rain clouds.

“Don’t ya know sister? I am the new Discord now” She smirked realizing her powers “Discord has taken me under his wing, what else do you think Discord would do with me” Card wing’s eyes blazed evilly and she turned a guard upside down turning him into a bat with cat paws and eagle legs. “Discord and I will rule Equestria now”

Celestia stared at her in horror and Luna stepped up. “Then you’ll have to do it alone my sister, Discord is gone”

She looked at her sister in disbelief. “Ha! Why would my trainer be gone, he’s Discord. MASTER of chaos” She stomped her hoof on the ground aggressively.

Princess Celestia opened a mirror on the ground, it showed Discord frozen into stone as a statue. “We have defeated him, and we are not afraid to defeat you either”

Card wing froze and her eyes blazed. “So… This is how you want to play it huh? Alright, Lets, play” She snarled and knocked Celestia out of the way and flew out in anger. Tears quickly rolled out of her eyes and she flew to the castle gardens where she saw the Discord vision, finding the gardens she saw Discord… As a stone statue. She burst out into tears and collapsed on him. “Why did they do this to you? Why not me!” She continued to cry and bang her hoof on the statue.

Princess Celestia flew behind her. “Sister, it was for his own good, now calm down before I have to do things I will regret”

She laughed evilly and turned around. “No Princess Celestia, It will be ME Regretting” She snarled and leaped at Celestia throwing her hoof at her face. Celestia quickly dodged and sent her guards to attack her. “Not so fast you royal monsters!” She stopped them by sending down large rain of pies that smashed against the ground making a mess and hitting ponies of equestria.

“I will control every one of you. EVERYONE! I am the puppet master here. Forbid the name princess” She scoffed.

Princess Celestia looked at her. “Don’t you dare let my subjects defeat you” She destroyed the pies raining down and looked at her sister threateningly.

“Subjects? They don’t stand a chance against me! Why don’t you get off your flank and start doing things for once. After all you defeated Discord, why not me?” She questioned coldly

Celestia replied almost harshly. “It was not me…” She sighed. “It was them” She opened a mirror and it showed 6 ponies cheering gratefully and hugging each other tightly.

Card wing couldn’t believe her eyes, why couldn’t her sister defeat Discord. Why did she let some weak friends do it?

Is this a joke?

“You’re a fool Celestia, a fool” Card wings eyes blazed in fury.

“How am I a fool? The elements of harmony now lie in their hearts, not me and Luna’s”

Celestia replied sharply.

Card wing heard about the elements of harmony from Discord, he would always scoff about them and complain about there useless powers. She was furious, she wanted to know who these friends were, and she wanted revenge more than anything.

“Mind showing me the fellow ponies that defeated him again?” Her ruby red eyes gleamed in the sunlight

Celestia sneered realizing her sister’s plan. “Don’t even think about hurting my subjects” Her horn lit up with glistening yellow magic, she picked Card wing up and Card wing struggled to get free from her sisters magic.

Celestia began to walk away with her sister struggling; they threw her in a cage and hoof cuffed her.

“Let me go!” She shook the cuffs around tussling around the steel cage. She tried to stop her sister with chaos but she felt exhausted, she realized she would just have to be patient and rest…

Celestia arrived at the castle and took Card wing out of her cage. Card wing shook around and stretched, only to be interrupted by guards staring at her in horror. Nobody knew who she was, all they were puzzled by was her broken horn showing she was formally an alicorn

“Uh… Princess Celestia…? I don’t mean to be nosey but who is this pony?”

Celestia sighed and replied coolly. “I can not explain details, but this is an old…” Celestia paused for a moment and then continued “Friend of mine” She continued

Her words stabbed Card wing in the heart. She was to afraid to even call me her own sister! But Card wing understood that Celestia wanted to keep her a secret… Yet she was still furious as ever.

“Are you going to trap me in stone as well?” Card wing growled darkly not making eye contact with her older sister.

Celestia shook her head and stared at her sister “We have much to catch up on”

Card wing glanced at her sister in shock. Catching up? Excuse me? I thought my sister hated me, what kind of joke is this?

Anger

             “Would you like to join me and Luna for dinner?”  Her purple eyes showed no emotion, only the slightest trace of sadness as if she felt bad for her younger sister.

Card wing wanted to say no, but she was very hungry after being in that cage so long. Plus, Discord usually cooked for her with his chaos. Unfortunately her chaos still had some work to do so she mostly burnt her food, maybe is she gained more energy and strength she could get revenge on her sister.

“Why of course” Card wing peeped rather kindly. Celestia paused for a moment, and continued onward to the dining room.

Card wing stared in shock at the feast laid on the large golden and purple cloaked table. She was just used to having chocolate milk or cotton candy! Or some weird chaotic food, she didn’t like the sight of this at all. Oh well, she would just have to work with this. Card wing inched on a chair and her sister sat beside her, she wondered why she didn’t have her sisters beautiful flowing mane. But then realized it was probably because she was an Alicorn. Anger flared inside of her remembering how her horn snapped off after she ran away from her parents and sisters to go walk another path.

“You may eat dear sister” Celestia calmly spoke as Luna sat across from Celestia. Glancing at Card wing with sadness just like Celestia had in her eyes. What was the big deal? I thought they hated me. She let out a heavy sigh picking up a piece of turkey with a fork and laying it on her golden plate. She picked up some mash potatoes with a spoon, dumping them on her plate and beginning to eat her meal.

I guess this is good… She thought to herself silently and didn’t dare to say anything to her sisters. She hated awkward silences and always loved to talk about chaos to Discord, but now was not the time to speak with a revenge plot running freely in her mind. If you are planning something on someone, don’t talk to them. Cause you might spit some clues out and they could figure out your plan. Discord had told her this, and she took it to heart. Everything he said she took to heart…

Card wing felt tears filling her eyes and she tried to hold them back, she had loved Discord like a father. She missed him and pain stabbed her heart like a knife when she knew he was gone forever.

“Sister, do you need some time alone?” Expecting Celestia’s kind voice, she heard Luna spoke and realized they must have seen the tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, Card wing felt anger fuel her to maximum strength. She flew up her wings flapping violently; she turned the table upside down and put party balloons on it. She shot chaotic magic at one of the guards turning him into a chicken and setting him on fire, he screamed in agony as he got cooked slowly. Celestia gasped and shot a beam of magic at her holding her in a levitation of magic, Card wing narrowed her eyes and got out of her sisters magic. Flying up she dropped cherries and they exploded around the dining room, she flew out of the castle and to the place where Discord was frozen in stone. She saw a group of ponies gathered around it, cheering and hugging sharing a meal. She recognized these group of ponies! They were the ones who defeated Discord!

“You fools!” She snarled from above “How dare you take everything away from me!”

The six ponies looked up at her gasping in terror as her ruby eyes blazed with hatred. She flew down tackling the purple unicorn and turning her into a small ant, throwing a hoof down she failed to hit the unicorn when a blue Pegasus charged throwing a hoof into her rib and crashing her on Discords chest. Gasping trying to get her breath back a orange one snarled.

“Who are ya? What do ya want with us?!”  The orange pony snarled.

“Card wing, the last pony you will see before your eyes!” She yowled and charged towards the orange pony, the orange pony spun around bucking her into the statue. She tried to get up but her vision blurred as magic surrounded her lifting her up,

“I’m sorry my subjects… Are all of you okay?” She spoke with worry cracked beneath her voice.

“Yes Princess” A voice spoke. “Who is this pony, she appears to be a former Alicorn”

“No one you need to know about, Luna would you mind” Celestia replied.

“Yes sister” Card wing heard the sound of magic flying towards the ponies, she opened her eyes barely and saw them getting blasted with a memory spell. They all opened her eyes and the princesses were gone.

“Should we be eatin’?” The orange one spoke with confusement.

The blue one rubbed her head “My head hurts” She sighed flying down to eat with the other ponies

Prolouge

     Long ago, there were two little sisters born. As soon as the mother and father laid their

Eyes on the two newborn fillies, they knew that they would behold a great power.

One was named Tia, and the other Card wing.

Tia was a beautiful Alicorn with pink mane and a white coat, Card wing was a small Alicorn with black and white mane and a black and white coat. Her hair was rather poofy along with Tia’s

A year later, another filly was born. They decided to name her Luna because she was born on an eclipse. Luna and Tia got so much love, the mother and father always told them how they would raise the moon and sun. But when Card wing asked about her future, they acted like they could not hear her or just plain ignored her.

Card wing grew jealous and greedy, she would always say hateful things to Luna and would claim all of the toys to feel on top once again. Card wing never got attention anymore, food and water were her only attention mostly. Tia hated Card wing, why couldn’t she just go away? Tia would always think. Luna was beginning to hate her sister as well even though she would always vow to stay by her sister no matter what.

Finally, Card wing ran away, she could not take such cruelness anymore… Running away she ran into a big rock and snapped her horn right off. Of course she was to angry to even care…

Card wing felt hopeless, nobody cared about her. That is in till a rather strange creature found her and took her to shelter… He had only cared about her. He understood what a broken heart can do to a helpless pony. She wanted to be just like him, fallen into eternal

Chaos…

Don't leave me

      “And how is our chaotic student today~?”  A voice echoed from the deep dark caves.

This time, a higher voice replied.   “Fine, just studying”

The voice stepped into the light and closed the book. “No time to study my dear, just learn from me!”

“But Discord!” She whined looking down at the book and sighing. Getting up she turned towards him. “What have I got to learn…?”

A lot.  He grumbled in annoyance and snapped his finger and pored a glass of milk onto the book causing it set on fire and burn into ashes “Now, on with the chaos”

She looked at the book and back at Discord and sighed. “Alright, I will show you what I know” She flew up and created a small twister and it spun around flying everywhere.

Discord looked at it unamused. “And what is that going to do, suck up lint” He scoffed at her.

Card wing ignored him and watched it land on the ground making the ground turn into a swirl pool sucking everything in.

“Whoa! You are going to destroy everything!” He stepped on the twister and it spun him around, he destroyed it. “That was not chaos that was a storm!” He sneered and lashed his long scaly tail back in forth.

The mare looked down ashamed. “I just thought that a small twister doing so much damage was”

“Chaos? No. That’s just a small mistake. THIS is chaos” He took out his eyes rolling them on the ground and they quickly turned into large bowling balls knocking down part of the wall making a big square room, new eyes turned in his head and fitted right in the eye sockets. “We needed an extra room didn’t we?” He looked at her with a cold look in his eyes.

“I’m sorry Discord… Maybe chaos is not my thing…” Her red eyes clouded and she looked down poking her hoof at the dirt.

Discord stared at her and replied coolly. “I am sorry to my dear, I just want you to have the powers you need to get revenge on those wretched princesses”

The room fell silent and a large boom crashed on top of the cave. They both looked around. “What’s going on Discord?!” She looked at him in panic.

Discord fell silent. He said no words for a few minutes then turned to her. “It is my time to rule”

“YOUR time? What I thought it was OUR time!” She stomped her hoof on the ground and ran up to him grabbing is arm tightly.

You are far too young Card wing. I don’t want you to get hurt… You must continue with Chaos on your own” He took her off and set her on the ground. Before leaving he hugged her and flew out closing the cave and a small tear rolled out of his eye.

“DISCORD!!!” She screamed after him.
