Game of Chaos

Everypony was excited, most of the normal ponies were still confused, but they were also excited.

"Alright everypony, let's start with the first round!" said the moderator and suddenly the ground in the middle of the arena started to bulge. The ground cracked and  a stone pillar started to rise from the crack, the pillar quickly grew bigger into a huge tower that soon was so big, that nopony could see the top of it.

"The chaos has to be everywhere, even the places hard to reach. So your first task will be to 'climb' this tower. Well you don't actually have to climb it, you just have to get to top, somehow. No rules. The winner is whoever reaches the top with the most chaotic technique. Everypony understood? Alright here it comes. Ready! Set! Go!"

Celestia used her wings to fly to the top of the tower. Not very creative, as the moderator states. Chaos transformed some of the ground nearby into a giant gorilla made out of dirt. He then gave himself a disguise as a beautiful blond mare. The gorilla grabbed him/her and then started to climb the tower. Discord meanwhile build a catapult and was about to shoot himself to the top, but Chaos used his magic to make one of the wheels of the catapult vanish so that Discord didn't shoot himself in direclty to the Future top of the tower but instead direclty into the tower getting him stuck inside the wall.

"no rules!" Chaos said to Discord before laughing maniacally. Chaos then got distracted by a pink pony walking upward on the wall next to him. She wasn't climbing or anything, she was walking! Discord used this moment to let a huge tree grow from the side of the tower just above Chaos and his gorilla, but it  wasn't just any tree, it was a banana tree. The gorilla stopped climbing the tower and instead climbed the tree to get some bananas. Surprisingly the tree was strong enough for the gigantic and heavy gorilla, at least until Discord appeared at the trunk of the with an axe in his hands, said 'no rules', and started to fell the tree. It took him only one hit and the tree broke under the weight of the gorilla sending him and Chaos back to the ground.

While Discord was still standing on what's left of the tree thinking about what to do next, Chaos already recovered and angrily casted a spell on the tower turning the whole tower upside down so that the top was now down where he was, then he grabbed the tower, turned it back and was the first contestant to reach the top. Discord had an idea, he spit in his hands and grabbed the tower, ripping one giant segment out of it. He threw the segment away and the rest of the tower fell down replacing the missing part. Discord ripped another part of the tower out, and another, and another, and as he did the tower shrunk bit by bit while in the meantime Celestia and Pinkie Pie reached the top. After some time the tower was small enough that Discord could climb the rest reaching the top as the last contestant.

"And the winner is..." announced the moderator, "Chaos! But the competition isn't decided yet so let's start with round number 2!"

The tower disappear leaving the contestants alone in the arena.

"For this challenge you have to disguise yourself! The most creative disguise wins!"

Discord, Chaos and Celestia vanished. Only Pinkie Pie was left wearing a fake mustache, but she blew her disguise as she starts to laugh very hardly.

"Alright looks like our contestants found their disguises, but now let's ask them where they are."

Celestia appeared first, right in the arena revealing that she 'only' used an invisible spell. She also burst out laughing. The next one to reappear was Chaos, he explained that he used a vanishing spell, turning himself into nothing. He tried very hard not to laugh but he could keep himself from smiling.

"Well, vanishing isn't exactly a disguise so you are disqualified." said the moderator.

Chaos tried to look angry but that was very hard with a big grin on his face.

But where was the last contestant? Where was Discord?

Suddenly Discord appeared next to the other contestants and they stopped laughing immediately.

"Alright, where have you been?" the moderator asked.

"Oh I was right here," said Discord, "disguised as nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas."

"I guess that explains everything... but anyway, the winner of round 2 is Discord."

"But the game isn't over yet so let's start with round 3."

The four contestants where lead to their position and suddenly four ponies appeared in front of them. There was a crystal pony in front of Celestia, Pinkie Pie had an earthpony and Chaos was looking at an unicorn. None of these ponies were familiar to the contestants. Only Discord had a pony in front of him, who he saw a few times before around ponyville. She was a grey pegasus with a yellow mane and yellow cross-eyed eyes, a pony called Derpy.

"What is chaos exactly? It's something not normal. It's something that confuses us. And that's exactly what this round is about, confusion. Your target will be to confuse the pony in front of you as much as you can. Please notify that the winner of this round is not the contestant with the most chaotic way to reach the goal as in the other rounds, but the one who confuses his or her partner the most."

While Celestia seem to had some problems with the task, the other contestants started right away. Pinkie was...just beeing Pinkie, Chaos probably used some sort of hypnosis, in fact he was only starring his victim in the eyes and Discord, well, it was hard to tell what exactly Discord was doing. It had something to do with the tail of a timber-wolf, a fruit bat, a red balloon, 14 green starfishes, a chair and 3 extra big sandwiches.

But Derpy was paying no attention. She was looking at the cheering crowd of ponies. Most of them looked the same, they looked like one of the ponies next to her. She had never seen anything like that. Were they even real ponies? Were they those changelings she heard about? Maybe she was just dreaming. But then she would be able to control it since she knows it's a dream. She tried to let something appear out of nowhere to prove her theory. But what? Something she likes a lot...apples? No, it was something baked. Apple-pie? No, something without apples...Normal pie? Cake? No, it was something smaller. Muffins! Yes, that was what she was looking for, some tasty muffins! She concentrated very hard trying to let those muffins appear but it didn't work. She was confused a bit - strangely her confusion put some signs of relief on the face of the strange creature in front of here - Maybe that wasn't a dream? She looked at the crowd again. But why are they looking all the same then? Well, they didn't ALL looked the same. Some of the ponies looked different, they looked normal. Then she recognized one of the ponies. A blue pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane. A friend of her. What was her name again? Dainbow Rash? No, but something like that, Derpy was never good at keeping names. Especially when she was dreaming. It seemed to her that her friend was trying to say something to her, but she was so far away and the crowd of looking-alike-ponies were too loud so she could barely understand her.  She was saying something like: 'Just, pay a song!' Whatever that's supposed to mean. But this was just a dream anyway so Derpy just started to sing.

Rainbow Dash meanwhile, seeing that Discord had problems with Derpy, tried to help and screamed: "Just play along!" and hoped Derpy would understand her and played the confused pony to help Discord win. Discord by the way was making a facehoof - even though he had to give himself a hoof first - when Derpy started to sing.

"Alright looks to me like our round ends here." said the moderator, "and the winner is Disco..." the moderator got interrupted by the pony  Chaos confused. Chaos just finished his hypnosis and the unicorn in front of him started to jump around screaming: "I'M A BREEZY!!! A BIG BEAUTIFUL BREEZY!!!".

"I guess i was deciding to early, looks like our real winner is Chaos." said the moderator, "Chaos is currently leading with two won rounds. Discord is on the second place with one won round. But the competition isn't over. There are still six rounds left and all the contestants still have chances to win. We're going to make a little break here. Giving our contestants time to recover their creativity, but be back when the competition continues and I know you will because Chaos' magic forces you to."
