~~~~~~~~~~~Fluttershy's Home: Onyx's POV~~~~~~~~~~~

And there she stood, looking herself over through a mirror, admiring her costume. A tree. Not even joking, Fluttershy is wearing a hollowed out tree. First off, I have no idea how she got the costume, or where she's keeping it. Secondly, with all due respect, out of all of the cute things she could've worn, why the fuck did she put on a tree costume?!

"What do you think Angel?" She asked the furball next to her. The bunny simply shook it's head and bounced out of the room. "Oh well... What do you think, Onyx?" She turned around to face me. HEIL NAH, that shit's wack! Although.... I am the lord of chaos.... I think it's time to get creative...

"Maybe it's too scary f-" I lifted my hand and snapped my fingers, causing her stop talking and making her eyes get a thin, green glow.

"Oh, fuck yeah! Mind control!" I exclaimed as I jumped off from the drawer and turned back into a human. "No no no, this simply won't do... Whatever were you thinking Fluttershy?" I said in the most Rarity-like voice I could make. "I personally think we should get you something a bit more, alluring, to say the least." I snapped my fingers again and opened up a dimension portal that lead straight into my favorite cosplay store on Earth. I looked around through the portal, and as per usual, the store didn't have anyone inside, other than a familiar, obese teenager that looked like he was going to have a heart attack when he saw me.

"Wh-what the hell?! Wait, Onyx? Is that you?!" He walked around the shop counter and greeted me with a bro-hug.

"The one and only! Waz good bruh? Long time no see eh?" I let go of him and smiled, remembering all of the good times we had in the past. This dude was my friend ever since I was a child, his name is Edward by the way, and he loves anime above all else. His love for it is so strong that he managed to make me love it too at one point. A few days before Discord reaped me, Edward had gotten his dream job at Cosplay Boutique, the place where all Weeaboos and Otaku's alike could sit back, relax, and enjoy reading manga, watching anime, and once every month, some models would come in and display the latest costumes in town. And here he is, standing tall, wide, and proud.

"Dude! Where have you been?! You missed this month's Naruto manga!" He walked back towards the counter and grabbed his phone. He turned it on and showed me a news article. "Oh, and everyone's looking for you, but still! You have to check this out! Sasuke tot-"

"Hold up, you mean people are looking for me?" I asked as my eyes widened at the thought.

"Yep, but not only you, Victory is also gone!" He told me as he showed me another article on his phone. This one contained the pictures of six people, three of them being Astrot, Victory and me, but the other three where kind of a mystery.

"Hey, you mind if I look this over for a sec?" I asked him as I directed the mind-controlled Fluttershy through the portal.

"Nah, it's cool, but after you're done, I need to ask you a shit load of questions okay?" He said as he tried putting his arm through the portal.

"Don't worry, this won't take long." I scrolled through the article and read some entries:

I turned the phone off and gave it back to Edward, still thinking about the reason Victory got reaped. "Thanks.... I'm actually glad I saw that..." I shook my head a bit and remembered what I went there for. "Hey dude, you got any cute Halloween costumes for this pony?"

"Wait, that's a pony? Holy fuck! I thought it was one of those animatronic robot things! It looks so cartoon-like..." He stopped looking at the portal and started looking at Shy.

"Her name is Fluttershy, and right now, she kinda is like a robot." I told him as I snapped my fingers, closing the portal, and freezing time. "You see, I have her under some mind control at the moment, so she will do anything I order her to."

"Alright, alright, now I know for a fact that I'm dreaming, and since this is a dream, it means I can fly!" Edward jumped forward a few feet, trying to pull off some kind of superman style flight. However, gravity shot him to the ground with a loud 'Thump,' followed by an 'oww...'

I sighed, "Trust me, I wish you were dreaming, but sadly, this is reality." I used my magic to put him back on his feet, and heal the pain of the fall. "Well, can you find her a costume or not?"

"Dude... You're like, magical now and stuff! How in the world did you get all mighty and shit?" He just stared at me in awe for a few second, and before I could answer his question, he asked: "Dude, can you make me skinny? Please?" I smiled and snapped my fingers once more, making Edward go from being a fat slob, to a Hollywood super model. Most of the fat in his body was gone, being replaced with hard muscles all over. "WOOOO!!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, making me chuckle a bit. "Bro, You. Are. Fucking. Awesome! I don't care if this sounds gay: I love you man." He hugged me once more, making me feel a bit awkward, but I still returned the hug.

"I know, I know, but hey, about that costume..." I said as I let go of him.

"Oh, right." He walked over towards the back of the store and open a gray door that lead to the shop's storage. He showed me around the place a bit, asking me what kind of outfit I was looking for. I told him to show me something alluring while wiggling my brows. He caught onto what I meant and lead me towards the very back.

There was a long aisle full of costumes: Nurses, witches, bunnies, maids, there was so many options that I had a hard time coming up with one, but in the end, I settled for a cute little outfit that would fit Fluttershy and her rat quite nicely. I ordered Fluttershy to try the outfit on, and as expected, she complied without hesitation. By the time she finished getting dressed, I couldn't believe my eyes.

With one final order, I knew I had made the right choice. "Fluttershy, say: 'Rawr...'"

"Dude, that is... weird, but really adorable! Why are you even doing this though?" He asked me as I blushed a bit at the sight.

"No reason... Anyway, how much do I owe you?" I summoned my old wallet, wondering how my cheap-ass parents didn't empty it the second I was missing.

"Man, after what you did to me, it's cool, I'll pay for it." He patted my shoulder with one hand, giving me a thumbs up with his other.

"You sure? I mean, I literally own the universe now, I can give you anything there ever existed." I told him as I opened up the portal again. He put his hand on his chin for a few moments, and then answered.

"Anything eh? Well... How about a cool sword? Can you give me that?" He asked me with an excited expression on his face.

"How big exactly?" I readied my hand to snap.

"I think medium big, make it really evil and sharp okay?" Hmm... Maybe this will do...

I snapped my fingers, causing some shadows in the room to gain life and start circling me. I heard diabolical laughter all around me, coming from the dark creatures that were coming together in my hands to forge a tool of death. I felt as if something crawled up my leg and down my arm, stopping at my palms, creating a tough handle for the blade. Once enough shadows had gone into the sword, I swung it upwards, leaving a slight trail of darkness behind. With one final movement, I brought the sword down onto the ground, piercing the stone floor below me. After a few seconds, the laughter died out and the shadows stopped moving.

"Ta-da!" I said as I made some jazz hands.

He just stared at the sword, but when he reached out to pull it from the ground I stopped him. "Not so fast." I snapped my fingers and gave him some black biker gloves and put a sword sheath on his back. "This is a sword forged with pure evil and dark magic, once it's pulled out, anything it touches will decay slowly as it remains in contact, anyone it cuts will forever feel pain, even if the wound heals." He backed away from the sword and looked at his gloves. "Of course, the only exception are the gloves and the sheath. Neither can be affected by the sword, so as long as you hold it with the gloves on, and you put it away in its sheath when it's not being used, it shouldn't hurt you."

He stepped up to the sword once again, and with one mighty pull, it came out, radiating with shadows. The cracks in the floor immediately healed, leaving no trace behind.

"Bro..... Seriously, what happened to you? You're like, overpowered now..." He just held the sword up in disbelief. You've got no idea man... I summoned two couches in front of each other, along with a coffee table full of snacks. I spent around an hour explaining what happened, alongside how I got my powers, what I can do with them, and some plans for the future. He just stayed silent throughout the conversation, eating some of the goodies on the coffee table once in a while.

"...And here I am now, telling you the story of how I became immortal." I finished off the story with a deep chuckle as I ate some Doritos I summoned.

"So you mean you're pretty much the most powerful thing in the universe, yet you haven't gone insane with the power?" He asked me with a look of concern.

"My dear friend, I've always been insane from the start, I just know how to control my insanity." I stood up from the couch and stretched, popping my fingers in the process.

"Alright, no offense," He started, "but it's getting pretty late, I think you should get going so you don't miss that nightmare night thing."

"Actually, I froze time a while ago, so not a single second has passed since we stepped into the shop's storage." I snapped my fingers, releasing the time freeze spell. "And now, the clocks have started ticking again."

"Oh, alright. Well, do you need anything else?" He asked me.

"Well... I actually do need something," I said as I summoned a stack of posters that each read:

Are you interested in witnessing REAL magic? Are you in love with fantasy, sci-fi, or any other kind of fiction? Are you looking for an adventure you'll never forget?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you've come to right place. Tonight, at 10:00 PM, come to the Cosplay Boutique for the night of your life. Anyone can come, this event will be completely free, (Snacks & Drinks included,) But is recommend for people ages 14+.

The only requirement is that you bring one of the tabs below to the door in order to enter. Nothing more, nothing less.

We would greatly appreciate your participation, so see you tonight!

---

Below the paper, there were eight tearable tabs with a special symbol on them:

Whenever the event started, I was going to put an invisible barrier that only let people holding the symbol into the shop.

"I need you to put these where everyone can see them." I told Edward as I handed him the stack of flyers.

"These are a lot of flyers dude, I don't think I can put them all up on time." He told me as he read the flyers over.

"It's like, what? 6:50? Come on man, you have like three hours to hang them places. Especially since you have a better... Physique..." I told him as I directed Fluttershy through the portal back to Equestria.

"...Fair point, I'll see what I can do. Take care bro!" He waved at me as I stepped through the portal.

"Aight, see ya at ten o' clock!" I waved back and with a loud snap, I shut the gates between worlds. "Hmm... With that out of the way, I guess it's time for Shy to snap out it." With that horrible pun out of the way, I turned back into a doll and sat on my drawer, releasing Flutters from my control.

"-for the others. I think I should go chan- Oh my..." Her face gained a pink hue as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I-I think this will do okay..." YUSSS! With that out of the way, I started making plans for the night, wondering how the teens of Earth would react to a small display of power.

I guess that's enough out of my side, so over to you Discord!

~~~~~~~~~~~Outside Fluttershy's Home: Discord's POV ~~~~~~~~~~~

"6:59..... 7:00!" I read the time out loud as I knocked on the door to Fluttershy's home. "Fluttershy? Are you home?" I asked as I felt some sweat go down my neck. Honestly, never before in my eternal life had I felt this way before. I felt... Nervous. My heart has always been made of cold stone, giving me no regrets and no worries. But now, there I was, fighting my own insanity for the sake of a pony. No, not just any pony, this was Fluttershy! She deserves for me to act on my best behavior, so that's what I had to do.

"O-oh... Coming Discord!" Her voice was warm and welcoming, but at the same time, very quiet, almost sounding like a whisper. I couldn't what it was, but her voice seemed to crack up slightly. Was she embarrassed of me? Was she scared of me? These questions echoed in my head as I awaited her on the doorstep of the cottage. I noticed that I was now sweating more than before, even though most nights in October are very chilly, especially in Ponyville. My new found emotions were slowly tearing me apart from the inside out, giving me a new kind of chaos that felt different. Scary even.

Come on Discord... Keep it together... I told myself as I took deep breaths to calm myself.

Hey Discord! I thought I should take manners into my own hands, so I have a gift just for you. I heard an annoying voice echo in my mind.

Onyx?! What did you do!? I scolded him telepathically.

Don't worry bro, it's nothing too extreme. I just thought that I should pay you back for taking me out of my old life. I heard hoofsteps approach the door.

I don't have time to receive any gifts right now okay?! I'm trying to keep my insanity in check, so please, leave me be! I prepared myself for what would probably be the biggest challenge in my life.

Oh, don't worry, the gift is coming towards you right now! I even wrapped it up for you, so enjoy! I didn't have enough time to respond due to Fluttershy opening the door.

"Hello Fluttershy! Nice to se-" My eyes stopped my mouth from talking. What I saw was beyond beautiful. Fluttershy... She was dressed up as a black cat, she even had fake whiskers on her cheeks, which were a bright pink due to her blush. Now that I think about it, I was blushing too, very, very hard. "I... uh... You look, cute..." I said, almost choking on the last word. However, she was somehow able to hear me, and just blushed some more in response.

"Thank you..." She said quietly, slowly stepping out of the cottage. "Oh my, are those for me?" She asked as she pointed a hoof at my eagle claw. I looked over and realized I had a black rose bouquet the whole time.

"Oh, why yes! They are! Do you like them?" I politely handed them to her, making her face become even more red. WHY ME?!

"They're nice." She said, trying to get over her obvious blush. She put them inside of an empty vase she had near the door. "We should hurry and head over to Twilight's castle. What if they're waiting for us?" She urged me.

"I can teleport us there if you'd like." I offered, readying my claw for snapping.

"No thanks... I think I'd rather walk.with you..." I heard her squeal something inaudible at the end, but simply ignored it for the best of the situation. We started to walk, having an awkward conversation all the way to entrance of the town.

And just like that, the trial had begun. Would I get Fluttershy? I'm afraid I just don't know...
