Disharmony Saga

It had been three days since Rarity and Rainbow Dash had left PonyVille for Las Pegasus in an effort to keep Siren from attacking their home. Before leaving they had packed enough supplies to last them until they reached the city. Along the way they had slept where it was safe and eaten when they found the time. Now on the third day the journey was beginning to take its toll on them. “Rainbow could you be a dear and fly up a little to see if you can see the city yet?” Rarity and Rainbow were both exhausted. Rarity had been walking slowly since the day before due to her not wanting to kick up dirt into her mane. Rainbow had been flown for the entirety of the first day but by the second was on the ground walking and flew whenever she had the energy to. Rainbow nodded and flew upwards a good way before stopping and looking around. She scanned the horizon for Las Pegasus and was about to give up and head back down when something caught her eye. In the distance she saw what appeared to be tall buildings popping up from the ground. Excited by this she eagerly flew back down to Rarity, “I see the city! It’s not that far away and we could probably make it there before sun down if we move fast.” Rarity was hoping to take a break but then realized that when they reached the city she could probably find a place to take a nice warm bath and rest her body. “Very well then, Rainbow Dash, lead the way”  They were moving at a faster speed than the day before without stopping to rest or eat figuring that they would be able to do that once they reached the city. A while later Rarity decided to ask Rainbow a question to break the silence between them that lingered for the longest time, “Rainbow, have you ever been to Las Pegasus?” With this Rainbow slows down enough to let Rarity catch up to her before answering her question, “I’ve flown over the city a number of times but I really never felt like going in to the city itself. I never liked Las Pegasus, it didn’t attract me.” Rarity curious as to why Rainbow Dash never liked the city prods her some more, “From what I was told the city was founded by both Pegasus and Unicorns a long time ago in an effort to make the perfect resort. The best theatre, hotels, and SPA’s in all of Equestria. I don’t see how any pony could possibly not like…”Rarity stops speaking after Rainbow Dash looks back to give her a certain look, Rarity decides not to continue speaking after remembering who she was talking to. Rainbow Dash, feeling a little guilty, stops moving and lets her gaze fall to the ground, “Comfort and relaxation were never really my things. I figured Las Pegasus didn’t have anything for a pony like me.” Rainbow looks up again and continues moving, “What I wouldn’t give though for things to go back to the way they used to be.” Rarity increases her pace to catch up to Rainbow Dash, “Rainbow darling, we all wish we could go back to the way things were before any of these dreadful events occurred, but we have to keep moving forward towards a better future.” Rainbow Dash looks at Rarity and smiles before they continue towards the city. Some time passes and sure enough just as Rainbow said they arrive at Las Pegasus before the night sets in. Inside the city they find pegasus and unicorns walking around the streets in between shops and buildings. Something is noticeably off though since every pony seems to be keeping their distance from one another. Rarity and Rainbow Dash go up to a unicorn to ask for directions to a hotel. Rarity takes the initiative to ask the unicorn, “Excuse me miss, would you be so kind to show me and my friend here to a hotel? We would be ever so grateful.” The unicorn turns and gives Rarity a stern look, “Why should I help you and your friend?  Don’t know you two. For all I know you could try and take my apartment from me.” Rarity looks shocked at this accusation, “Darling we would never do such a thing. Please we just want a place to rest.” The unicorn turns away from Rarity, “You can forget it lady, go help yourselves.” The Unicorn begins to walk away but Rainbow now furious at how her friend was treated flies up to the unicorn putting her hoof on her. The unicorn turns around in protest, “HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING? Get your hoof off me lady.” Rainbow ignores her complaint and, “What’s wrong with you? We didn’t do anything to you and you treat us like garbage? All we wanted was directions.” The unicorn shakes Rainbow off her and moves away quickly, “Why should I trust you? Why should I trust anybody? You’re not the leader so why should I listen to you?” Rainbow Dash and Rarity both share a confused look on their faces. Rarity moves up to Rainbow Dash, “What do you suppose that was all about Rainbow?” Rainbow turns to meet Rarity’s eyes, “A disturbed pony it looks like.” Rainbow and Rarity share a quick laugh before Rarity speaks, “Well there rumors floating around PonyVille that something weird had happened to the ponies in this city.” Rarity turns her gaze looking down the street, “Come on Rainbow; let’s go see if some other pony will help us.” After asking about a dozen other ponies however they encounter the same response from every single one. Rarity and Rainbow decide to rest at a park after all the failed attempts.  Rainbow at this point was growing annoyed at the fact that no pony was willing to help them. “What’s wrong with every pony in this city? Doesn’t any pony trust any pony at all here?” Rarity interrupts Rainbows rant, “The only pony they seem to trust is this leader that they keep talking about.” Before Rainbow could respond a flash of light in the sky catches her attention. It seemed like some pony was shooting off fireworks. Following the fireworks to their source they come to an elaborate stage set up in the middle of the park. They see ponies gathering around the stage in anticipation for whatever was about to happen. Suddenly a loud booming voice echoes through the city, “Attention every pony, report to the park for the nightly address by our leader.” Rarity and Rainbow look at each other. “Rainbow I think it’s about time we meet this leader.” Rainbow nods in agreement. They move toward the stage but stay near the back of the large group of ponies that had gathered there. Music started to play and then fog rolls over the stage. Surrounded by fog a figure appears on the stage. As the fog clears Rarity and Rainbow Dash see a pony with a light blue body and a silver mane stand on stage, “ALL HAIL YOUR TRUTHFULL AND HONEST LEADER. All hail the great and powerful Trixie!” Rarity’s and Rainbows mouths hang wide open as every pony around them began stomping their feet in celebration. Rarity turns to Rainbow Dash, “Trixie? Trixie? Have these ponies gone mad? How in Equestria could Trixie be their leader?” Rainbow turns her attention towards the stage,” I don’t know but I’m gonna find out.” Trixie moves towards the edge of the stage to speak, “My loyal subjects and fans, these are truly dark days since the fall of our beloved Princess Celestia. I stood there and tried my hardest to keep her from being defeated at the hand s of the dark ponies that had her turned to stone.” Before Trixie could continue her story Rainbow flies up in the air and calls her out, “What a bunch of lies. You didn’t do a thing to save the princess. In fact you’re the one that helped Siren turn Princess Celestia into stone in the first place!” Rarity moves towards the stage as well intent on speaking her mind, “How you managed to trick all these ponies is beyond me but you and I know that you are no leader. You are a liar and only wish to look after yourself.” Trixie turns to face Rainbow Dash and Rarity, giving a grin as they get closer. “Well, well, well…what brings you two losers to my city?” Rarity reaches the stage and looks up at Trixie, “Enough with the insults, how did you get all the ponies here to listen to you?” In a flash of blue light Trixie teleports behind Rarity, “Oh Rarity, it’s actually very simple but I didn’t expect you two low lives to understand. Speaking of low lives where are the rest of your friends?” Rainbow lands in between Trixie and Rarity, “Not here, that’s for sure.” Trixie looks away and in another flash of blue light stands on the stage again. “To answer you two losers’ questions, I have been given immense power by using the Elements of Disharmony.” Trixie pauses to show a chain dangling around her neck. “My increased power has granted me an enchanted voice that no pony can resist.  By listening to my voice they do whatever I want them to do. All I had to do was tell a couple of lies and then every pony began to distrust one another, except me of course.” Rainbow having heard enough flies towards the stage at full speed, “I’m going to make sure you don’t get away with this and what you’ve done to Princess Celestia!” Trixie turns to face Rainbow, “How do you plan to do that if your own friend doesn’t believe you can do anything right?” Rainbow stops in midair and falls to the ground, “What? Doesn’t trust me?” Rainbow turns to look towards Rarity. “She believes you always have your head in the clouds Rainbow Dash. That you don’t have the intelligence to do anything right other than crash.” Rainbow now shows a look of pain on her face as she looks at Rarity. Rarity shocked by what she’s hearing beings to move towards Rainbow Dash, “Don’t listen to her Rainbow Dash! She’s telling nothing but lies!” Trixie teleports behind Rarity, “I don’t see why you are trying to comfort her Rarity, after all Rainbow Dash never did like your fashion designs.” Rarity stops moving and stands still in silence. “She always thought you were wasting your time with silly things that don’t have any meaning.” Trixie teleports back onto the stage. Rarity moves again towards Rainbow Dash, “You never liked my designs Rainbow?” Rainbow Dash looks away from Rarity, “I never really understood why you put so much effort into fashion. Always seemed silly to me.” Rainbow now turns to face Rarity, “How could you say that I wasn’t smart enough to do anything right? That I always had my head in the clouds?” The tone in Rainbows voice turns more to anger. Rarity turns away from Rainbow, “With you crashing all the time I just couldn’t see how you could do anything else.” Rainbow flies up to Rarity angrily, “Oh yeah? At least I was doing something productive and not wasting my time making cloths!” Rarity turns to Rainbow with a look of anger on her face, “At least my cloths didn’t get destroyed every other day due to some silly stunt that was never going to work in the first place!” Both Rainbow Dash and Rarity stare at each other silently, a look of hatred on their faces. Trixie gives a wide grin and takes the opportunity to get rid of a potential problem, “Attention ponies of Las Pegasus! This unicorn and pegasus are one of those responsible for the fall of Princess Celestia. Take your anger out on them and then lock them away for the rest of their lives!” Every pony in the park turned to look at Rarity and Rainbow Dash before charging at then angrily. Rarity and Rainbow look at the angrily mob before turning away being chased into the dark city as Trixie laughed uncontrollably behind them.
