Fear. That was the first thing Twilight felt when she had woken up. The young alicorn had risen to find herself not in her bed, but on the grass. She found herself surrounded by trees, not the comforting walls of her bedroom. Strange creature casually walked past her, chattering in a strange, distinct language.
Some had stopped to examine her, but had immediately fled when she moved. Panic and confusion had taken over fear the instant she saw a moving tree.
"Hello?" a soft voice called out. Twilight whirled around to greet the caller, and screamed in fear the instant she saw what it was.
A red, six-tailed fox wearing a blue scarf. Behind it, a shaggy wolf with gray fur was as snarling at a walking sunflower. "Are you okay?" it asked timidly, drawing closer.
"D-don't come any closer!" Twilight stammered fearfully, backing away. The fox flinched, but did as told. "Are you okay, miss?" the fox repeated its question. Behind it, the wolf snarled and latched itself onto the sunflower, biting it hard. Screeching in protest, the Sunflower thrashed in vain attempt to throw off it's attacker. The wolf finished it off with a smack of it's tail, and the Sunflower fell to the ground, limp and unmoving.
Twilight's eyes widened in fear at what she just witnessed, much to the fox's confusion. " Hello?" the fox asked, taking a few steps toward her.
Twilight acted instinctively.
"Leave me alone!" she yelled in panic, and smashed a hoof onto the fox. It howled in pain, slamming hard onto the ground. The wolf turned it's head towards her.
"Don't hurt her!" the wolf yelled and lunged at her.
Twilight gasped, and ducked, finding herself right in front of the fox, who had regained it's footing. Upon seeing her the fox let loose small embers of flame at her, catching Twilight off guard. It hit her at the side, and she screamed in pain.
A snarl came from behind her, and Twilight's attention turned towards the wolf. She gasped, but was too late to move out of the way. The wolf bit her, hard on her left wing. There was a sickening sound of bones breaking, and the wolf flinched in shock as the bite drew blood. The fox's eyes widened in surprise.
"Shriker, what did you do?!" The fox yelled worriedly. Twilight, stunned at the swift change of events, looked at her wing in shock and flinched.
"I don't know, Eniga! That was just a normal bite attack! It wasn't supposed to draw blood!" The wolf said in frantically, scared off his mind.
Twilight, who had enough, suddenly ran off, feathers and blood trailing behind her.
"Wait!" she heard the fox call out, but she didn't turn back.
Twilight was panting heavily. She did not know for how long she had been running, and though her aching muscles wanted to stop and rest, her mind was constantly reminding her that those two creatures may be still chasing her. Blood dripped behind her, and she already felt herself becoming weaker. Groaning to herself, she pushed herself further through the forest, wincing in pain.
Finally, her energy spent, she collapsed to the ground, panting in exhaustion. Straining herself to stand once more, she realized she couldn't. Panic seized her as her vision grew dull, slowly fading away.
No, No! She cried in her thoughts as her consciousness faded away. Giving up, she slumped down and relaxed, patiently waiting for unconsciousness to claim her. But seconds before she fainted, she heard a soft screech above her, and felt a set of talons wrap around her body.
"Don't move." It said in a low yet intimidating tone. Twilight felt herself being lifted off the ground, and groaned in pain.
Than she blacked out.
"Is she gone?" A sinister voice growled in the darkness of the voice.
A pair of red eyes opened in the dark, glowing with an aura of green energy surrounding it. Purple fire flowed out at the side.
With a snap, a ball of light appeared in the center of the void, revealing a draconequus. "Oh, yes. My dear Sombra. She has been ridden off. She off to anodah world with weird creatures and the real-deal living plants. Ain't that fancy?" Another voice said in a mocking tone. He chuckled softly at the thought. "She won't survive long." He said carelessly.
Sombra snarled, his fangs showing in the newly lit void. He blinked at the brightness of the light. "You better be sure about that, Discord, I can't have that... Peasant interfering with my plans."
Indeed, Chaos God." Another voice called out. It sounded robotic, yet full of one emotion: anger. It was obviously feminine, by the sound of it. "My Changelings and I have placed our trust in you to destroy Celestia's little pet. She shouldn't be here anymore."
"Relax, Chrysie." Discord said, chuckling.
"It's QUEEN Chrysalis, you doofus." The changeling queen snapped in annoyance.
"Fine. Whatever, QUEEN Chrysie." Discord said, rolling his eyes. Chrysalis snarled in anger. "She will no longer be interfering with your plans. As long you fulfill your end of the deal."
"Than we will begin." Sombra growled, narrowing his sinister eyes in determination. "Stay out of trouble, Discord." With that, Sombra turned and walked off into the darkness.
"Now you must wait. As promised, both Ponyville and Manehatten is yours. That is, if our attack goes as planned." Chrysalis said, buzzing her wings in impatience. "Now I must take my leave. Canterlot is waiting." With those parting words, The changeling Queen turned and buzzed away.
"Than, Toodaloo, my friends! I shall see you soon after Canterlot and The Crystal City have fallen into your dirty hooves!" Discord called out, waving his forepaws around. Neither answered him, for they have gone. "Now alone again. How booring." Discord complained, snapping his fingers and making a hammock appear. He literally dived into it, and let out a contented sigh once he got comfortable.
"Now, what to do, what to do..." he muttered, bored. "Aha!" He said with glee and snapped his fingers, making a light bulb appear above his head. Another snap, and the hammock disappeared, causing him to fall on the ground back first. "ouch" he said dramatically, and snapped his fingers again. He disappeared, and ended in Twilight's bedroom.
"Let's see..." He muttered, scratching his chin and putting on a thoughtful look. "Nope. Not here." He said, snapping his fingers again. He reappeared in the main part of the library, on top of the table in the center. He briefly scanned the room, and pulled out a fat book from one of the shelves. Opening it, he saw various pictures of strange creatures with typings and supernatural powers.
"Interesting." he said nonchalantly. "really? Nope." He said, striking up a conversation with himself. He skipped everything and flipped to the last page, no. 718, Zygarde.
"eww, a green snake with gems for eyes. Ridiculous." He said to himself, insulting the Order Pokemon. He flipped the page, and saw another one. This one had a picture of a certain lavender alicorn on it.
"Just as I thought!" Discord said with glee. "She became a Pokemon!" He said and proceeded to read the information.
Dex no.: 719
Species: Alicorn
Gender: Female 100%
Type: Psychic/Fairy
Discord stopped, and stared at the Typing. "She certainly doesn't look like a Fairy to me." He muttered, scratching the back of his head. "Might be better if she was Psychic and Flying. She does have wings after all." He mused and continued reading.
Abilities: Technician, Synchronize, Magic Bounce(Hidden)
Dex Entry: A rare pokemon who was said to possess the hidden knowledge about everything seen and unseen. Legends say that she came into this world through a portal to spread her knowledge to those she find whose hearts are pure, and those who are worthy. She is able to learn any kind of Pokemon move and it was said that she can defeat any opponent in battle.
"Interesting..." Discord mused. Grabbing the book, he snapped his fingers and found himself in his Royal Quarters in Canterlot Castle.
"Celestia knows nothing of my rebellion..." He muttered, hiding the book inside his icky-sticky-pinky-cotton-candy-with-a-fountain-under-it-bed.
Outside, he noted that ponies have started screaming, and unpony-like hisses could now be heard. He looked out, and his eyes widened in glee at what he was witnessing. Ponies were screaming and running for their lives as the ivading Changelings rocketed down in green fires like comets. Strange sticky green substances were everywhere.
"whoo-hoo!" he celebrated, throwing his arms up and spinning uncontrollably. "Ponyville as Chaos capital of the world, here I come." he said, giving a maniac grin.
It seems that the siege has already begun.
