The Elements of Chaos Book III Chaos and Love

Slowly Moonlight stopped trying to fight. She let Discord help her a lot more even if she felt like she did not need it. She felt more calm and less stressed. Because of this she was able to help Cotton Feathers and Butterscotch. Dark Chaos saw this, she wanted to bring all that anger and stress back. And she had gathered just enough magic to do so.

Moonlight went to bed feeling calmer then she had been in a while. It felt good, everything was surprisingly going well. She crawled under her blankets and shut her eyes. She heard breathing, but deep scary breathing. She felt cold. "Oh no......" Then she heard a voice. "Moonlight! Where are you!" It was Discord. She opened her eyes to see Discord a distance from her. "I'm over here!" Discord saw her and ran to her. "I'm glad your safe. Last time this happened I almost couldn't get to you fast enough." Moonlight felt colder, she began to shiver. Then she heard the breathing again. "She's back.....Dark Chaos..." Discord covered her mouth. "Relax! We've gotten rid of her many times." Moonlight pulled Discord's paw away. "But what if she's stronger this time? I don't think Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellaluna will come here for a while." Discord began to shiver. "I'm sure we'll be fine. How strong could she possibly get in a short amount of time?" Just then they both heard a voice. "Stronger then you Discord." They both turned to see her. She looked like a mess, but filled with power. "Dark Chaos."

"Leave her alone." Discord demanded. Dark Chaos laughed. "I'm afraid that's not possible." Then she turned to Moonlight. "Where are your three little brats? Aren't they suppose to be here?" Moonlight narrowed her eyes. "Leave them out of this. They are none of your concern." Dark Chaos smiled. "I'm surprised you actually thought this would work." Moonlight stepped back. "Thought what would work?" Dark Chaos aimed her horn at Discord. "Thought that you and this monster would ever be meant to be together." She blasted Discord with her magic and sent him flying into the air. "Discord!" Moonlight yelled. She turned to Dark Chaos. "How dare you touch him! And how dare you call him a monster!" Dark Chaos walked over to him. "What, he doesn't look like one to you? With his crazy magic, how he's different, and is definitely not the most pleasant sight?" Discord lifted himself up. Dark Chaos gave him a smirk. "Isn't that right?" Dark Chaos gently pushed him down. Discord looked up at her. "I may not have the nicest appearance. In fact almost everypony that has ever come across me finds me horrible......." He was interrupted by Moonlight. "Stop!" Discord and Dark Chaos looked at her. Moonlight was furious. "Hundreds of ponies can call you whatever they want, but NEVER call yourself a monster, or horrible looking again! NEVER!" Dark Chaos laughed. "Well what are you going to do then?" Moonlight ran towards Dark Chaos and blasted her with her magic. Dark Chaos flew across the darkness. She quickly got herself up and threw a beam at Moonlight. She quickly blocked it and ran to Dark Chaos and knocked her down. Discord was shocked. He had never seen her this angry before. It almost scary. Moonlight was about to cast a spell when Dark Chaos hit her with her magic causing her to collapse. Discord stood up and tried to run to her but Dark Chaos turned to him. "Ah ah ah! Not so fast!" She hit him with another spell causing him to fall again. Dark Chaos headed towards Moonlight. She began using her magic to take Moonlight's away. Discord could do nothing but watch as the life was being drained from her. He could not see her but he could see all the magic being taken. Then Dark Chaos stopped. "Leave our Mom alone." Discord looked behind him. It was Disharmony. Then he saw Screwball and Stellaluna. They ran towards him. "Daddy are you okay?" Screwball asked. Discord pointed his claw towards Dark Chaos. "Get her." The three rushed towards her and knocked her down. Dark Chaos growled. "Oh great, you three weak brats are here. Well you can join your father." Stellaluna got angry. "Brats! Weak!" Disharmony narrowed his eyes. "We may be smaller then you and not as strong but with our Dad's help we are just as strong as you!" Dark Chaos tried to push them off. "Get off me!" Stellaluna used her magic to help Discord. He quickly got up and towards the three of them. He ruffled Stellaluna's mane. "That's my girl!" Stellaluna beamed. Then they all got off her and used their magic to push her away. Slowly Dark Chaos began to disappear. When she was gone everyone was blinded by a bright light.

Discord quickly woke up. The moon was still out. Stellaluna, Disharmony, and Screball walked in. "What happened to Mom?" Disharmony asked. Discord looked at the other side of their bed. He could see part of Moonlight's hair but the rest of her was tucked underneath the blankets. "We're about to find out." Discord said. He took the blankets and pulled them off the bed. Then they all gasped. On the bed was Moonlight. But she was smaller. Her mane had less colors and was shorter, and  her cutie mark was missing. Moonlight was definitely smaller, no Moonlight was now a young filly. "Why is Mom so small?" Screwball asked. "Yeah! And what happened to her cutie mark! It's gone!" Disharmony noticed. Discord looked at her. She looked so small now, she looked very small and cute as a filly. She looked so innocent just laying there. He gently picked her up. She felt as light as Stellaluna, and her coat was extremely soft. Then Moonlight slowly opened her eyes. Instead of her regular eyes, she now had large round blue eyes. She looked up and saw Discord. "What happened? Is Dark Chaos gone?" All Discord could do was nod. Moonlight looked at him. "Are you okay?" Discord nodded again. "I guess you could say something changed." Moonlight looked at him then at the foals. "What changed?" Discord flew over to a mirror a placed her down. "You changed." Moonlight looked into the mirror. She looked like how she did as a filly. Small, with a shorter mane, and blue eyes. Screwball walked over to her. "Daddy look! I'm as tall as Mom!" Moonlight looked at her. "Wow you look much bigger now from this height." Then she look up at Discord. "And you look really tall." Discord smiled a picked her up again. "You look so adorable like this. You are so much smaller. I almost forgot what you looked like with blue eyes." Moonlight giggled. "Did you do this to me?" Discord's eyes widened. "I didn't do this, I swear. I wish I had though, you are so irresistible!" Moonlight rolled her eyes and smiled. "Can we go back to bed now? I'm getting a little tired." Discord looked confused. "Wait your tired already?" Moonlight nodded. "I'm a filly, all young ponies are exhausted a lot faster then full grown ponies. Besides look at them." Discord looked down and saw Disharmony and Screwball yawning. Stellaluna was laying down on their carpet ready to fall asleep. "Alright fine. You three can go to bed." They all quickly jumped up and rushed to their rooms. Discord placed Moonlight on their bed and looked at her. "What?" Moonlight looked at herself. "Do I look silly?" Discord quickly shook his head. "No! Of course not! You just look so tiny and adorable. I'm sorry for saying this, but it is so hard to take you seriously like this." Moonlight sighed. "I'm just glad I still remember you." Discord gently pulled the blankets back up. And watched Moonlight shut her eyes. He pulled her closer and held her like a stuffed toy. He wanted this moment to last. She couldn't stay like this forever. Moonlight was just enjoying the attention.
