The Chaos Game

Celestia woke up slowly, the sun was not out yet but she was happy she had gotten up early. The game with King Sombra was supposed to begin before the sun was supposed to be up. Even though the sun and moon switched places at random times during the day Discord had to keep that under control for the game. By the time the game with King Sombra ended the sun would be up. Then tomorrow they would face Nightmare Moon just as the moon would be about to rise. The match with Queen Chrysalis took place at sunset. Each match would be at a different time of day or night. Celestia didn't know what time of day they would have to face Discord though she assumepd the night. They would have to face Moonlight's friends at noon. They would have to face Moonlight Chaos last. Luna woke up very quickly. Celestia turned to her sister. "How did you wake up so quickly?" Luna turned to her sister. "I know the night like you know the sun. I know when my night is about to end sister." Celestia sighed. "We might as well get up now. Besides everyone will wonder where we are." Luna nodded. The two got up and left their room. They found everyone waiting for them. Discord turned to Celestia. "May I speak to you for a moment.......alone." Celestia didn't know what was going on but she followed him anyway. When they were alone Celestia looked up at him. "What do you want Discord?" All she got was an angry glare. "You know exactly why I'm doing this Celestia. I know what you were doing last night. Spying on us, trying to her away from me." Celestia was shocked. "Discord I...." But Discord interrupted her. He got very close to her and began to talk in a frightening tone. "Listen to me, if you or your sister try to hurt her in anyway or threaten her, you will answer to me. I don't ever want to find you spying on us again, you've seen I love her. Stay away from her. Understand?" Celestia was too afraid to say anything. "Y-y-yes. I understand." Discord backed away from her. "Good. Tell your sister the same thing, or else she and I will have a little "talk" as well. You have been warned Celestia." Slowly Celestia backed away. She walked towards Luna. "How did he know?" Celestia asked herself. Luna saw her sister's terrified look. She grew very concerned. "Celestia, what on earth is wrong?" Celestia looked at her sister. "I can't tell you now, when we are in our room I'll tell you." Luna nodded. "Very well." Then they heard Moonlight Chaos. "The game between King Sombra and Celestia and Luna is going to start in about fifteen minutes. You can have about ten minutes to do what ever you want." Luna looked at Celestia. "Now you can tell me." Celestia sighed. "Come on Luna." They slowly made their way into their room. Luna locked the door and turned to her older sister. "Alright Celestia what are you hiding?" Celestia looked at Luna. "Last night I spied on Discord." Luna looked shocked. "You SPIED on him." Celestia nodded. "Yes, I wanted to see why he is so in love with that other pony Moonlight. They did things that never thought I would see Discord even attempt to do." Luna looked concerned. "Like what?" Celestia sighed. "He was treating her so nicely, he was still being himself and yet he did it in a way that seemed different. He had his paw around her almost the entire time." Luna nodded. "Was she resisting him?" Celestia shook her head. "Not even in the slightest way. She did anything he asked her to do, she trusts him more then I've ever seen anyone trust someone like that before. Even when it looked like he was going to do something awful to her." Luna nodded. "And did he?" Celestia looked confused. "No he didn't, not once. He played with her, he talked to her, he even kissed her." Luna looked surprise. "Though that is shocking it shouldn't be that much of a surprise. We know she's married to him." Celestia nodded. "I know, but my question is why? Why doesn't she resist him, why does she do what he tells her, why does she let him use magic on her....." Luna interrupted. "Wait, he used magic on her?" Celestia shrugged. "Well, not really. He said she was too perfect to change. But my biggest question is why does she love him? Why does he love HER?"  Luna sighed. "You want me to go inside their dreams don't you." Celestia smiled nervously. "Yes, please." Luna rolled her eyes. "Fine, but if I get caught, your taking the blame." Celestia sighed. "Alright, it's not like I'm in enough trouble as it is." Luna glared at her. "You got caught didn't you?" Celestia nodded. "Your better at this, you know the night and dark. That's why I need you." Luna nodded. "I'll do it." Celestia smiled. "Thank you Luna." Her young sister smiled back. "Come on we need to go. King Sombra is probably waiting for us."

When Celestia and Luna entered the arena they found hundreds of ponies inside. They found King Sombra on the other side along with Discord, Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, and Moonlight. They all appeared to be talking. After a while Discord, Moonlight Chaos, and Queen Chrysalis left. Nightmare Moon stayed behind. She talked with King Sombra for a little longer but then she also left. King Sombra turned to face them, for some reason Celestia did not feel as worried as she had the last time. Perhaps this would be easier then with Chrysalis. For one thing Sombra did not have wings, and all his magic controlled was crystals and shadows. But she was wrong, as soon as the sound of the horn rang out Sombra began to attack. He sent hundreds of crystals flying towards them. Celestia and Luna were able to avoid them. Luna sent beams towards King Sombra, but he blocked them with a crystal wall. He used his magic to push the wall towards Luna knocking her down. Celestia looked a at her sister, she was having a hard time getting up. Sombra turned into a shadow he headed towards Celestia. Luna watched as Sombra got closer and closer to her older sister. Just as she got up Celestia was pushed down. Luna ran over to her. Her eyes had purple trails flowing off. Like Sombra. "Celestia!"

Queen Chrysalis watched as Sombra began to throw everything he had at Celestia and Luna. "He sure knows how to start a fight." The Changeling Queen said. Nightmare Moon glared at her. "He certainly does. Why didn't you fight like that?" Queen Chysalis rolled her eyes. "I didn't have to. They were too weak, besides, they are nothing without their precious Elements of Harmony. The last time I faced someone who challenged me was good but not good enough. He lost and was banished. I don't know where he is now, and I don't really care." Nightmare Moon smirked. "At moonrise I'll be down there. And Celestia and Luna will be so tired they won't have the power to defeat me. I'll be the winner." Queen Chrysalis returned the smile. "Let's just hope we ALL come out winners." Then they heard a loud scream. The two looked down into the arena, Celestia had been knocked down. They heard Discord from above them. "One down, one to go."

Luna stood up. Sombra was no longer in his shadow form. He glared at the blue Alicorn in front of him. He was going to finish her. Luna made glowing balls of energy appear. They looked like stars, she sent them towards King Sombra. Four hit him, leaving marks on his armor and cuts on his body. King Sombra removed the spell on Celestia. When she got up, Luna rushed towards her. King Sombra used his magic to surround Celestia and Luna in a crystal barrier they couldn't get out of. They were stuck, King Sombra had won. Once again they heard ponies cheering. Finally King Sombra let them go, Luna and Celestia looked at each other. They were very worried, they had lost twice. And they to face Nightmare Moon at the end of the day, this was not going to be good. After the match with King Sombra, Luna and Celestia rested. They made sure they had enough power. Especially because after the match Luna was going to see Discord and Moonlight. All day they watched as the sun and moon traded places. But when the sun went down and the moon began to rise slowly. They knew it was time. They walked out of their room and into the arena. Nightmare Moon was waiting for them. King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Discord, Moonlight Chaos were all watching, so was the large crowd of ponies.
