Chaos And Magic: The TwiCord Collab

There is a stage, its backdrop is the dark of the void.

"Our story starts with Creation," says a voice. "The idea of Chaos was born in these early days, however it held no form. Yet when Chaos arrived here on this sphere, it assumed a form."

With a quick flash of light, a Dracoequus marionette begins to form onstage. The various parts flying together to form the patchwork of creatures.

"Chaos took a little of every being, the mismatched form invoked its very essence."

A little yellow crown appears on the marionette's head. The Dracoequus bowed before waving an arm, at this motion lights and sounds flashed across the stage. When the lights faded, all manner of random objects appeared across the stage. With another wave of its arm, everything faded away again.

"Chaos sought lands to rule, lands to shape as it pleased. So Chaos took for itself the Ponies of the Sky, of the Aether, and of the Earth and the land that they lived on."

Three marionettes appeared on stage joining the Dracoequus one. The features and colours of the new arrivals were bland and dull. One with a horn, the next had wings, and the last had neither. Two of them were slumped over while the third moved into a defiant pose.

"The Ponies disliked the rule of Chaos, they sought Order. They appealed to Order who answered them. Order sent two Champions, the Sun and the Moon.

The three dull Ponies raised their heads towards the heavens. A bright light flashed and the three moved off to the side. Standing in their place on the middle of the stage was a white marionette and a blue marionette. The two new arrivals possessed both horn and wings, and unlike the previous three, these two walked towards Chaos standing bravely against the Dracoequus.

"A great battle was fought. In the end the Champions were victorious and sealed Chaos away."

While the voice talked the three marionettes were engaged in a fight of magic, Chaos waved an arm conjuring objects and effects accompanied by lights and sounds. While the Champions circled Chaos from above and added their own magic from their horns into the mix. All too quickly the battle ended, and all three marionettes were more worn and scuffed than they had been earlier. The battered Champions stood tall over the prone Dracoequus who had lost the yellow crown.

"For a long time Chaos slumbered away, before three Ponies one of each awakened Chaos once more."

Three small dull Ponies were dancing around Chaos who looked more refreshed since the battle with the Champions.

"But Chaos weak from the long slumber, was unable to reclaim its former kingdom. Chaos was quickly sealed again, this time by the Champions of the Sun."

Six marionettes appear on stage, two of each. Orange and pink for the Earth, blue and yellow for the Sky, white and lavender for the Aether. They walked to place themselves around Chaos. In a flash of rainbow light, Chaos was frozen still once more.

"A year had passed since the second sealing of Chaos. The Sun had deemed it was worth the chance to free Chaos. The Sun would entrust the task to her Champions, they were to teach Chaos about friendship.

The Dracoequus marionette stretched as it found itself awake once more. It looked to see the faces of the Solar Champions; Honesty, Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty, Generosity, and Magic.

"For a time it seemed the Champions would fail in their task until Kindness at last taught Chaos friendship."

The yellow marionette of the Sky, Kindness, hugged Chaos firmly as the other Champions watched on.

"Yet things were not well. Chaos did not feel truly welcomed by the Solar Champions so when the demonic Devourer returned to prey upon the living once more, Chaos took the chance to join with its old foe."

A large red marionette with four legs, and two arms appeared on stage. Along with the Devourer, Chaos also appeared. But instead of fighting the Devourer, Chaos instead stood by the Devourer's side. Together the two marionettes attacked the other marionettes driving them off the stage.

"However in the end the Devourer betrayed Chaos and captured all of the Solar Champions except for Magic. Magic fought bravely, but in the end surrendered everything to save its fellow Champions and Chaos.

Chaos was confused as it had just betrayed the Solar Champions to the Devourer. It was at this time that Chaos truly learned what friendship was and they all promised to learn from this. To be a better friend to Chaos.

With the aid of Chaos, the Solar Champions unlocked new magic allowing them to banish the Devourer away once more."

The Solar Champions marionettes charged by their new powers, their forms glowed slightly hinting at the powers that they were granted. The Devourer stood before them, its arms raised in challenge, but it could not stand the stronger might of this new power. With a bright flash of rainbow light, the Solar Champions banished the Devourer away once more. The Sun and  the Moon joined the other marionettes on stage, together they began to celebrate the defeat of the Devourer. Off to the side Chaos smiled as it watched the celebrations, it knew the world was safe once again.

"But our tale does not end here. Shortly afterwards, Chaos realized how much time it was now spending with Magic. Magic was special to Chaos, for Magic was the one who once sacrificed everything for Chaos. With the realization of how dearly Chaos felt for Magic, Chaos appeared with a poof before Magic with flowers and asked for a chance of being something more."

While the voice continued, the scene had changed. Chaos appeared with a flash of smoke, flowers in one hand. Chaos outstretched an arm, miming the action of asking out Magic. Magic paused before nodding, a brief kiss was shared between them. The start of a new beginning, it was their happily ever after.

Discord stopped speaking, his many hands had moved away from the bars controlling the marionettes. A polite clap came from his audience. Looking away from the stage he saw many versions of himself in various attires and outfits. The polite clapping then became more enthusiastic. Discord gave a bow to his lookalike audience.

He was high in the sky on a peppermint cane striped cloud. When he looked away from his stage he not only saw his duplicates, but briefly he caught a glimpse of her.

Discord sighed before waving his lookalike audience away.

"This story is true," Discord said sadly as watched her from above. "Except for one tiny detail. Magic is not with Chaos, for her heart belongs to another."

Down below he could faintly see her standing next to her lover, "Now what should I do.... Should I act as I would as her foe Chaos or as her friend Discord?"
