The Elements of Chaos Book IIII The Second Generation

By the time Moonlight and Star Dim had finished their day together Star Dim went home. Her brother and sister had already left, so she was alone. Silverpants never came home until it got late. Besides he was taking Midnight, Diamond Ring and Starlight to Canterlot again. She laid down on her bed, and sighed. She found the wedding dress drawing on her nightstand. Something was different. Star got a closer look at the drawing. It looked bigger, slightly taller, and now there was a small hole in the dress. They were for Pegasus wings. At the top their was lace and ribbon spiraling. It was meant to be worn on a pony's horn. Star Dim grew suspicious. Something strange was going on.

By the time the day had gone by Moonlight and Discord were about to go to their room. "Discord?" Moonlight called. Discord popped his head out from another room. "Yes my dear?" Moonlight sighed. "I have something I need to tell you." Discord flew over to her. "What is it?" Moonlight looked up at him. "I have been noticing something with Stellaluna, she's almost a full grown mare, and she seems to take a lot of traits from me." Discord smiled. "Well of course! She's not just MY daughter." Moonlight laughed. "I know that, but I'm noticing it with my friends and their daughters. Vanilla Pie acts like Chocolate Pie, Midnight acts like Star Dim, Flutterbreeze acts like Cotton Feathers, Rainbow Swirls acts like Discorded Swirls, and Twisted Taffy acts just like Crazed Candy. Call me Silly but they seem to possess our abilities. What if they grow up to control the Elements of Chaos like we do?" Discord nodded. "It is possible. But we don't need to worry about that Silly." Moonlight giggled. Discord picked her up and flew upstairs into their room. When she snuggled underneath the covers Discord snapped his fingers and shut off all the lights. Ink Illusion was ready. "Finally, now let's begin." He used his magic to create a giant castle. Then he vanished, his plan was going to unfurl.

Ink went to each of Moonlight's friends and brought them to his castle. He used his magic to chain them to the walls. He left Star Dim alone for a moment and went to go get Moonlight and her family. When he got there he started with Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellaluna. They were easy to deal with. Then he went into Moonlights bedroom. In a flash Moonlight, and Discord were with everyone else. He brought Discord with everyone else. Finally he had Moonlight and Star Dim to deal with. He brought them both to a smaller wall and chained them as well. When the two woke up they would be in for a big surprise.

"Moonlight! Wake up!" Star Dim yelled. Moonlight heard her voice and opened her eyes slowly. "Star Dim, what are you doing here?" Star Dim sounded nervous. "The question is what are WE doing here?" Moonlight opened her eyes wider and gasped. She and Star Dim both had their legs chained to a wall. They were in a large castle made of stone. "Where are we?" Moonlight asked. Star Dim sighed. "I don't know, but this place could use a little cleaning, and some decorating." Then they heard a voice. "Ah, good to see you girls are awake." Moonlight and Star Dim turned their heads towards the voice. A black Unicorn slipped out of the darkness. Star Dim and Moonlight both stood up. The Unicorn walked towards them. He turned towards Star Dim. "Star Dim, lovely as ever." Star Dim backed up. Then the Unicorn turned to Moonlight. "Moonlight Chaos, I can finally see you up close. You are breath taking." Star Dim growled. The Unicorn turned to Star Dim. "What's wrong? Jealous that Moonlight gets all the attention? Well you'll get attention, you and the rest of your family." Then the other side of the castle was lit. Star Dim and Moonlight gasped. Their family and their friends were chained on the other side of the castle. "Silverpants! Let them go!" Star Dim demanded. Moonlight remained silent. Silverpants saw his wife and tried to get to her. "Star Dim! What's going on?" The Unicorn smiled. "My name is Ink Illustration and I brought you all here to watch each other split apart." Discord glared at him and saw Moonlight. "Moonlight!" She turned and saw Discord and her family. "Discord! I can't get out!" Discord looked nervous. "Neither can I!" Ink Illustration smiled. "Oh good! Because those chains prevent the use of magic! Even chaotic magic......" Chocolate Pie jumped up. "So why are we over here, while Moonlight and Star Dim are over there?" Ink Illustration smirked. "Oh Star Dim will join you in a moment. I had my eye on her for a while." Star Dim gasped. "What?" Ink Illustration turned to Moonlight. " We are very similar, but seeing that she's a total drama queen and is being very rude I'm glad I changed my mind." Star Dim stomped her hoof. "I am not a drama queen! And why would I like you when you continue to insult me!" Ink Illustration shook his head. "My Star Dim, are you always this fussy?" Silverpants sighed. "Unfortunately yes." Star Dim glared at him. "Hey!" Silverpants backed up even though he was far from her. "I meant that in a good way! You may be a drama queen, but that's what I fell in love with!" Star Dim calmed down. Discord turned to Silverpants. "Actually I think Moonlight beat her. When nobody is around she can get completely dramatic." Ink ignored them and glanced at Moonlight. "Why so quiet my dear? Are you not happy? You're with your family and your friends, well not for long anyway." Moonlight stayed silent. Discord got angry. He began pulling on the chain. "Leave her alone!" He demanded. Ink Illustration sighed. "Why must you be so overprotective all the time? Why can't you just leave her alone?" Discord stopped. He sighed and dropped to the floor. He rose his paw up to his face and stayed quiet. Ink Illustration got closer to her. Moonlight backed up. She could hear the chain rattling and clinking as she moved back. Ink Illustration smirked. "Why are you backing up? I thought you didn't believe anypony was a monster." Moonlight looked into Ink's red eyes. "I don't. But I don't trust you."

Ink stared at Star Dim. "I'm done with you. Go be with your husband." He used his magic to move Star Dim and chained her next to Silverpants. The two ran over to each other. "I'm sorry Silverpants." Star Dim said. Silverpants hugged her. "You don't have to be darling. It's not your fault." Star Dim sighed. "But what about Moonlight?" The two looked at Ink and Moonlight. "Moonlight will be able to resist him, it's only Discord when we're in trouble." Silverpants said. He looked over at Discord still curled up and trying to hide. Chocolate Pie was the closest to him. "Discord, are you okay?" Discord said nothing. Chocolate Pie tried to think. "It's going to be alright. He's not hurting Moonlight." Discord spoke in a very quiet voice. "I can't save her." Chocolate Pie gasped. "Yes you can! You've done it many times before." Discord sighed. "Not this time. It's over." Chocolate felt tears form in her eyes. She dropped in defeat. Ink smiled. One by one he watched as they all gave up, they stopped trying to fight. Moonlight looked up at him. "What do you want from me?" She said in a quiet, stern voice. Ink Illustration had her, now he just needed to convince her to stay. It was going to take a lot of work, but he was going to have her. He pointed to the chains she was in. "Let's get you out of those shall we?" He used his magic to make a key appear. He unlocked the chains and allowed her to stand up. "There, much better." Then he made the key disappear. Moonlight glared at him. Ink Illustration frowned. "Why are you giving me that look? I just got you out of the chains, I brought your family and your friends here, what more do you want from me?" Moonlight sighed. "I want you to let them go. Let me go, why am I here? What do you want from me?" Ink Illustration smiled. "Well, that's an easy one. I want you." Moonlight stepped back. "No, I already have Discord. Why me? Why am I so different?" Ink looked at her. "Because, I have watched you from afar. You are a talented, beautiful pony. I'll bet if you tried you could do what I can." Moonlight turned towards him. "And what is that?" Ink Illustration used his magic to create an illusion of a young Pegasus flying around them. Then it disappeared into ink. "Come on my dear, just try. Please?" Moonlight sighed. Her horn began to glow and she used her magic to create illusions of cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk. They quickly disappeared and vanished into ink. Ink Illustration clapped his hooves. "Well done!" Moonlight walked towards him. "Now will you let them go?" Ink Illustration needed to distract her. Then he made a slip of paper appear. "Do you remember seeing this?" Moonlight gasped when she saw it. It was the drawing of a wedding dress. "Yes, you were the one who did that?" Ink nodded. "And I can picture it right now, a beautiful pony in a beautiful dress." He used his magic to make a copy of the dress appear on Moonlight. "So my dear, what will it be?"
