Discord makes his own elements to deal with the Elements of Harmony

Discord has been freed from his stone inprisonment yet again, and this time he has a better plan. He's selected six ponies, the six ponies that exemplify chaos. Grate Jaw, the element of frustration. Hardhoof, the element of violence. Razor Tongue, the element of insult. Whip Around, the element of betrayal. Twist Fang, the element of argument. The most powerful of all, however, is named Dark Heart. The element of pure hatred. Together, they form the Elements of Chaos. More powerful than Discord, more powerful than Nightmare Moon. How will our favorite Elements of Harmony defeat these powerful foes?

A World Torn Asunder... Again...

A World Torn Asunder... Again...

CRACK!!! BOOM!!! The lightning slammed down on Canterlot, mainly the castle. The sister of the Sun, Princess Celestia, stood in her bedroom. The lightning and thunder and rain cracked down on her window. She wasn't aware that the weather schedule called for such a heavy storm.

She decided that she would deal with it later and looked to her Royal Guards stationed outside. It was high time Luna came inside and slept.

"Excuse me, Captain Bulwark! Could you go and fetch Luna for me? It's about time for her to go to sleep. She should be in the Gardens or at least around there," she called out to the door. She got a reply instantly.

"Of course, Princess Celestia! Whatever you wish," replied the two sides of the doors. The sound of hoofsteps and wingbeats filled the hall outside as the two guards went out to get Luna.

Luna, the sister of the Moon, sat alone in the darkness of her stormy night. She, too, wasn't told of the impending downpour before it all came down on her. She figured since she was wet anyways, she might as well stay out and enjoy the cool showers in the middle of summer. Sure, her night left the land chilly and the rain colder, but that wouldn't stop the Princess of the Night from enjoying her creation.

"Princess Luna, your sister would like you to return to the castle now," said one of Celestia's guards. They had just flown up to her a couple seconds ago. They had frightened her, but she wasn't about to erupt into the traditional Royal Canterlot voice. She'd done quite enough of that in the years gone by since her return.

"But of course. Tell her I shalt return to the castle in but a few moments. I wish to enjoy my night for a moment longer," she said.

"Of course, Princess," and with that, they were off. Back to Princess Celestia through the storm of the ages. Luna shook her mane of pure night sky and flew off to the castle that she and her sister had ruled in for at least four years since the Elements of Harmony had saved her from her jelous plight against Celestia.

She was still ashamed of her actions a thousand years ago, even though everypony had forgiven her after her return for elongating the night. Her flight was shaky and wet in this sudden storm that no one had been informed of, but she didn't care. She was already lost in her self pity.

However, in everypony's ignorance, the weather team of Canterlot was frantically trying to dissipate the sudden rain clouds.

"Everypony, get these clouds dissipated before the Princesses have all our flanks!" yelled the captain. Everypony on the weather team was tackling the clouds trying to blast them into oblivion. They had all ponies from all shifts, but the clouds couldn't be controlled.

"Sir! The clouds just keep coming back! There's no controlling them! It's like the Everfree over here!" screamed an unknown voice from the storm.

"We're supposed to be the best weather team in Equestria! Now TAKE CARE OF IT!!!" shouted the captain in reply. It had been many years since the last unreasonable storm in Canterlot.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" a cry of intense pain, followed by silence. Another cry sounded above the captain, but this time, the rain was mixed with ash. The lightning was striking the pegasi!

"Retreat! Everypony retr-" ZAP! The captain returned to Canterlot as a wisp of smoke and ash. The weather team flew out of the storm as fast as their wings could go, but some not fast enough. More ash and smoke rose into the sky before the weather team was safe. This was no regular storm.

In the midst of the chaos, a single light shone. A weak red light from the Canterlot Gardens. This light wasn't new, it had been shining randomly for a while now. He was surprised Celestia hadn't caught on. Usually she was faster to catch on to this sort of thing. Nightmare Moon had been noticed long before he had, after all.

This was good. His plan was going exactly as he wanted it to. Who cares about a couple casualties so long as he was on the throne for good this time. He wanted control. He wanted to give the orders. Only his orders were anything but orderly...

The light shone was shining very brightly at this point. Straight from the eyes of the statue that had doubled as a prison for far too long in his eyes. The statue of one draconequus who had longed to rule the pony-filled land of Equestria for quite some time now.

Nopony had figured out that the storm was his doing. From the little bits of chaos he could muster up from his prison he had conjured this storm. It had taken him three years, but it would be very much worth it to see the look on Princess Celestia's face when he rips her from the throne and takes it for himself. Maybe he would rain some chocolate milk on her afterwards... this was no time to be thinking ahead, however.

Right now, he had to think about making the lightning strike him, so he tried to force it to strike as far away as possible. As usual, his magic reversed his wishes and the lightning hit the ground around him. One particular bolt hit him right in the face and it burned a little, but cracked the stone deeply. Deeply enough that he could feel the rain on his fur.

If he had just a bit bigger of a crack, he could force his way free! But he could be patient, he already had been for three long years. Another bolt, another crack. This was going chaotically well! It was almost time... A third bolt struck right in his stomach, making him able to wiggle around a bit with his midsection.

So close now! He was almost free! Almost free to pursue his newest plan to overthrow those blasted alicorns and take Equestria for himself. He only needed six ponies... not necessarily willing either. He already knew just the ponies to partake in his nasty plan...

The six new Elements. The Elements of Chaos!
