Master of Chaos

"Too slow!" I stated loudly as I flew through the air, a certain rainbow maned Pegasus close behind.

"Get back here!" She yelled, still hot on my heels. She was after me for a somewhat good reason; I pulled a pie out of thin air and threw it at her face. I still didn't know whether or not it was a good idea, but I was starting to enjoy flying around with the 'Fastest Flyer in Equestria' on my heels. I ain't going to lie, she was pretty damn fast.

As I was flying through the air, I heard laughing come from the chariots that me and Dash were flying around. I took a quick glance at the chariots and saw that the Mane Six, Princesses, and the guards pulling the chariots were laughing at us. I had a plan which would probably make them all mad at me.

I quickly did what I did before and pulled out a pie from nothingness. That wasn't enough, so I pulled out a lot more pies. Once I was sure that I had enough, I quickly flew towards the chariot holding the Princesses. They were still laughing, and I took my first throw at Celestia which hit her square in the muzzle. Then I threw the other at Luna, but she saw what happened to her sister and was ready. As the pie got closer, she wrapped it in a dark blue aura and threw it back at me.

I got hit right in the chest and dramatically raised a hoof to my forehead while gliding down to Luna.

"Oh no! I've been hit, somepony help me!" I said as dramatically as I could manage, all the while trying to not smile. I landed next to Luna, and started coughing dramatically.

She went along with it and placed a hoof on mine, pleading in a fictitious tone , "Don't worry, I'll save you!"

"It's too late! I'm a goner." I said, closing my eyes and pretending I died. I even let my tongue hang out.

Luna looked up at the sky with her hooves still on mine, yelling, "NOOOOOO!"

After a few seconds of silence, I burst into laughter along with Luna. We both couldn't roll around while laughing because the chariot would've tipped, so we sat still while laughing hysterically. It was hard, but we somehow managed to stay still.

We soon stopped laughing and looked over to Celestia, who was now looking at us with a soft smile.

"Fully grown and yet you two still act childish." She stated, giving us both a grin.

"It's awesome to love somepony who likes to act childish." I said, wrapping a wing around Luna. Celestia chuckled and we remained silent until Dash threw a pie at my face.

"Payback never felt so good." She said, flying off towards the chariot that held her friends.

I wiped the pie off my face with a hoof and started to get onto all fours, but was pulled back down by Luna.

"Don't worry about her, she only got revenge. Besides, you deserved it." She stated playfully. I sighed and laid on my back, not taking my eyes off the afternoon sky. Suddenly, I remembered an important yet sensitive question.

"Hey, Luna?" I asked, turning to the mare in question.

"Yes?"

"Did you ever tell anyone my name after you were cleansed of being Nightmare Moon?" She paused for a bit and sighed.

"I only told one pony." She stated, "One pony I trust with my life."

I had a feeling where this was going, so I asked the obvious, "Celestia?"

Luna nodded and I sighed with relief; at least it wasn't a normal pony. I turned to the mare in question and she turned to me.

"Don't tell anypony or anything my name. In fact, don't ever say it out loud." I commanded with a surprisingly serious look. Celestia nodded and turned her attention back towards the direction the chariot was heading.

I turned back to Luna and smiled warmly. I kissed her muzzle and sat next to her, taking note that she blushed slightly at the unexpected kiss.

"What's wrong, Luna? Never got kissed by a handsome stallion like me before?" I asked sarcastically, giving her a wry smile. Her blushed deepened and I chuckled.

"We're here." Celestia said.

I turned and saw Canterlot, which was now a pile of embers apart from the palace and a few buildings that were still standing. It was a sight that would make a person, or pony, like me feel like I was at home. But for the princesses and the Mane Six, it was a sight of depression and guilt.

"Tyrant?" Luna asked, getting my attention.

"Yeah?"

"I want you to do something for me."

"And that would be?"

"Fix the city." And with that, I groaned neglectfully but stopped after she gave me a spine shuddering glare.

"Fine, but only because I love you and you gave me that glare." I shuddered once again, the memory of the eyes flashing in my mind.

I jumped out of the chariot and flew towards the center of Canterlot. I saw that their were ponies walking that looked hungry, along with the ashes that rained from the clouds. The Pegasi were trying to fix it but the cloud was too big. I sighed and landed in the center of Canterlot, channeling my energy to my horn. Once I felt the power reach my horn, I let it out and it instantly worked it's way across the city, clearing the ashes and rebuilding the houses that had fallen. It took a few minutes, but soon the town was cleared of ash and the buildings were put together. I turned my attention to the large cloud and pointed my horn directly at the center. I let out a beam of light and it made contact with the cloud, instantly making it disperse as if it wasn't ever there.

I sighed in defeat; I was going to miss the destruction, but Luna didn't want her subjects to suffer so I complied and did what she asked of me.

I quickly took off towards the palace, taking note of the happy residents of Canterlot below.

I trotted down the main hall and was heading towards the throne room. The guards eyed me with a confused look, maybe because I was an Alicorn. I didn't pay them much attention though.

As I rounded the corner, I bumped into somepony and fell onto the ground. I looked over to see who it was and saw a white coated Unicorn stallion with a blonde man.

I slowly got up, and so did the Unicorn. Once the Unicorn and I were on all fours, we both looked each other over. He gave me a look of disgust while I gave him a look of confusion.

"Watch where you're going, peasant!" He said in a annoyed tone, glaring at me.

"Um, who are you exactly?" I asked, not paying the insult any attention.

"I am Prince Blueblood, and you just knocked over royalty. I demand that you apologize!" He demanded, puffing his chest out proudly.

Oh great, I thought sarcastically, not only is he a snob, he's Celestia's and Luna's nephew. I knew of him because, before I broke out of my stone prison, I heard everything going on around me.

"Why should I apologize?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

"Because if you don't, I'll have you arrested and thrown in the dungeon." He stated coldly. Damn, this guy wasn't just a snob, he was the king of snobs.

"I'd rather be thrown into the dungeon than apologize to your stuck-up ass." I said, walking past him. He, on the other hoof, stepped in front of me and gave me another glare.

"Guards!" He shouted, getting the attention of almost two patrols of guards. "Arrest this pony and throw him into the dungeon!"

"But sir," One of the guards who I believed was the commander explained, "He's an Alico-"

"Enough! Arrest this pony or else I'll have your jobs!" Blueblood commanded, causing all the guards to shake slightly.

"You do know I'm an Alicorn, right?" I asked, spreading my wings and getting Blueblood's attention.

He put on yet another look of disgust, asking, "Why would a peasant like you be an Alicorn?"

I sighed, "Before I answer that question, let me make a few things clear; One: I could easily destroy you and the rest of the guards here if I wanted. Two: I am the most powerful force in Equestria, so I suggest that you watch your tongue. For it may be cut out if you don't shut your mouth. Three: I'm Luna's coltfriend, so I guess I'm going to be your Uncle if Luna marries me. The answer to the question you asked; I'm not a real Alicorn, but, let's say, a shapeshifter."

Blueblood gave me a look of disgust again, "I don't care if you're not a real Alicorn. Guards! Arrest him immediately!"

At that very instant, I restrained the guards with my magic with little to no effort. I turned my attention to Blueblood who was slack-jawed, and picked him up by the neck with the magic leaving my horn. Once that was done, I brought him closer to me.

Once he was close enough, I spoke in a very dark tone, "Don't ever, ever, do that again. If you try to get me arrested or killed, I'll make sure that I give you pain without end."

He nodded nervously and I released him. Then I turned to the guards, who were still restrained, and said in a little less dark tone, "Never listen try to arrest me or kill me again. This is your one warning."

And with that, the guards were freed and quickly dispersed. I smirked and trotted towards the throne room. I was a bit proud of myself of putting the brat in place.

Upon reaching the throne room, I heard commotion coming from the other side. It sounded a lot like Blueblood complaining, so I pushed the doors open slowly.

And I was right, he was complaining to Luna and Celestia.

"Auntie Celestia, he is a threat and a disgrace to royalty! I demand that he be thrown into the dungeon!" Blueblood said, an annoyed look on his face.

"What's wrong Blueblood? Can't handle a little discipline?" I asked jokingly, catching his attention. His eyes widened and he quickly moved closer to Celestia and Luna.

"That's him!" Blueblood stated, giving me a a frown. The princesses looked at each other for a moment then back at me. I chuckled softly, causing Blueblood's frown to deepen.

"Auntie Celestia, could you please arrest him?!" Blueblood asked angrily, not taking his eyes off me.

"Blueblood, you do know that that's my coltfriend, right?" Luna asked, giving Blueblood a questionable look. Blueblood looked between me and Luna, then gave Luna a disgusted look.

"Auntie Luna, how could you date such a brute?!" He asked rudely, which was starting to get me angry.

Luna had the same idea and answered through closed teeth, "I'm dating this stallion because he shows the most respect and kindness towards me."

Blueblood had a look of disbelief on his face and stood still for about three minutes until I used my magic to levitate him out of the throne room. He was silent the whole way, so I'm guessing Luna broke him.

"Hey Luna?" I asked, turning to the mare in question.

"Yes, Tyrant?"

"Where's the Elements Bearers?"

"In Ponyville, why?"

"Just wondering." I finished, walking up and sitting next to Luna. Once I was down on my haunches, I wrapped a wing around Luna and pulled her into a quick kiss. We stayed like that for a few moments until we both pushed away.

"Never knew you were so good." Luna said with a wry smile. I shrugged and laid down. I was exhausted; cleaning and rebuilding a city can do that to you. "Tired, Tyrant?" Luna asked.

I chuckled and nodded. I'm not going to lie, Luna was like a very soft pillow. It was like her coat was a cloud. I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

My eyes fluttered open and I took a quick look around. I soon realized that I was in Luna's room, mainly because everything was either a dark blue or black.

I whistled an impressed tune, eyeing the room very closely; Two bookshelves were laid against the wall and there were posters of somepony named 'DJ PON-3'. Strange, never thought that Luna would be a fan of somepony. She is the princess after all.

The door that lead to the hallway burst open and I looked over to see none other than Luna, who was breathing heavily.

"Changlings... Ponyville... no time to explain." She stated between breaths, signalling for me to come closer to her.

Changlings in Ponyville? Oh! Being the good guy is going to be so much fun! I thought happily.

I walked over to Luna and she used her magic to teleport us to Ponyville.

I opened my eyes and realized that I was in Ponyville. And what do you know, the Changlings were harassing the townspeople.

I looked over to Luna and asked, "Can I use my real form?"

She looked at me with a hopeful look, "If you don't harm any of the normal ponies, yes."

I nodded and started making the changes; my horn split in two and moved to the side of my head. My hind legs turned to the pair of legs I had used before and my back hooves turned to a pair of feet. I stretched out my forelegs and watched as they turned into a pair of hairless arms, also watching as my fore-hooves grew four fingers and a thumb. The nails were sharp and lethal, which could shred through anything given enough force. My head came next as the muzzle slowly pushed back into my head and the teeth were sharpened. I looked down at my body and saw my muscle features coming in; abs, pectoral muscles, etc. I also noticed that I was the same height as when I was back at the old castle in the Everfree. Once I was sure that the transformation was complete, I looked down to Luna and asked, "Do I look good?"

She nodded, "Very, now get going!"

I nodded and ran towards the center of town, squishing every Changling I saw. As I reached the center, I heard a high pitched scream. I looked over and saw three fillies cornered by three or five Changlings in an alley way. The Changlings were closing in and the fillies were still screaming.

I ran towards the three screaming fillies and got between them and Changlings, a smirk making it's way across my face. The Changlings seemed surprised by that, but kept closing in. I started chuckling and walked towards them, the same goofy smirk on my face.

One of the Changlings pounced at me, but I grabbed it's head and smashed it into the ground, killing it instantly.

"Well, shit. I got bug goop on my hand. That's gonna be hard to wash off." I stated nonchalantly, wiping the Changling blood off on my legs. I looked over to the other Changlings and saw that they were all staring at their dead brother/sister. It's really hard to tell whether or not they're female or male.

I snapped my fingers and got their attention, asking, "Who's next?"

As those words left my mouth, three of the four Changlings pounced. The one closest to me got a face-full of fist, sending it hurdling back towards the other attackers. The second was a bit less fortunate and got it's head smashed into a nearby wall with a swift roundhouse kick. Again, I was disgusted at how much blood the things had in their heads. The third one was a bit of a challenge as it sank it's fangs in my leg while I was smashing the second one. I looked down at it, and it still had it's fangs in my legs, so I decided to do something fun for me but extremely painful for the Changeling; burn it. I took a deep breath and unleashed a fireball of flames onto the Changling. It screamed in agony but soon died away.

I looked up at the last Changeling and saw that it had fear in it's eyes. I chuckled to myself and made my over to it, and it, like most creatures, ran the opposite direction. But for some reason it stopped in it's tracks and appeared frozen in horror. I looked beyond it and saw the Mane Six walking towards it with enraged looks on their faces, except Fluttershy, who seemed to have pity for the creature.

Before they reached it, I grabbed it's tail and let it dangle upside down. The Mane Six seemed shocked for a second because of the sudden movement, but relaxed as they saw me.

"'Sup girls?" I asked nonchalantly, paying the dangling insect in my palm no attention.

Twilight walked up to me and answered, "Dealing with the Changeling attack on Ponyville, you?"

"Same." I answered, holding the Changeling up in front of my face. "What is your name?"

The Changling seemed terrified and answered with a few stutters, "I-I don't h-have one, s-sir..."

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, "What's your Changeling number?"

"#307."

I looked him over, and he appeared to be on of the healer Changelings. He could be useful if I cut him from the Hive. Hell, he could even become a citizen of Equestria.

"How do you feel about Chrysalis?" I asked, giving him a tooth baring smirk.

He hesitated, and seemed to be forced to say, "I will fight for Queen Chrysalis until I draw my last breath!"

I chuckled and used my magic to rip him from the Hive mind, along with hearing a scream of agony erupt from beyond a few buildings.

"Now how do you feel about Chrysalis?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He looked up at me happily, answering, "I think she is a poor excuse of a Queen!"

I smirked and lifted him up, stating, "You're going to be working for me now."

I sat him back down on the ground and turned to the girls, putting a reassuring smile on my face, "He's with us now; I just cut him out of the Hive mind."

The Mane Six looked at each other and back at me, nodding as I jumped off towards the direction Chrysalis' scream came from.

Upon reaching a few buildings that were either a pile of rubble or filled with flames, I began to think I was getting closer.

And I was certain I was closer when I got shot by a large, green beam of magic that sent me sailing towards a burning building.

As the flames engulfed me, I smiled and got up slowly. Upon reaching my full height, I looked at the damage that had been done to the house and me; I appeared to have been blasted through at least three rooms of a very large building. I could tell because there was a rather large hole in between the walls. My body was perfectly fine, so that means Chrysalis can't do shit once I confront her.

I slowly made my way out into the open where Chrysalis was breathing heavily. Upon making eye contact with me, her face turned to one of awe and rage.

I looked up and smirked, "Never do change on the whole 'blast-it-to-shreds' thing, do ya?"

She blasted another large beam at me, but I was ready. I held my hand out and let the beam make contact. Upon reaching it's end, I turned the beam to a very small ball of magic, probably the size of a nostril.

I inspected it and looked at Chrysalis with a bored look on my face and asked nonchalantly, "That really all you got?"

She looked horrified, and I began to laugh uncontrollably.

Once I stopped laughing, I stated in a calm voice, "I really expected a challenge, Chrysalis. But it appears that you're getting weaker every minute."

I inspected the small ball of magic again before deciding what to do with it.

Three choices, I thought to myself, I can let it shoot back at Chrysalis, which would kill her instantly. I could eat it and gain the powers of a Changeling, which means I would have increased power and the two abilities of controlling another creature's mind along with stealth. Or I could simply let it shoot upwards so there's no chance that anypony could get hurt.

I shrugged and popped the tiny ball of energy in my mouth. It tasted like... nothing. Who knew that a ball of green energy wouldn't have a taste?

I was cut short of my daze when I realized that Chrysalis was trying to sneak away towards an alley. I smirked and walked over to her, then learned that I couldn't hear my footsteps. She kept sneaking away until I grabbed her tail and threw her back into the daylight. She landed on her side, coughing up a green blood and breathing heavily.

I walked over to her with a wild grin on my face. Upon reaching her, I wrapped my claws around her neck and lifted her up off the ground. She was surprisingly light, I expected her to weigh more than a normal Changeling. But I was the strongest being in Equestria, so I guessed that was the reason she felt like a feather to me.

I smirked and asked, "Why are you attacking Ponyville, Chrysalis?"

She looked at me for a moment, but spat the green blood she had in her mouth right onto my face. I raised my hand to my face and wiped it off, glaring daggers at her.

"If you don't talk, I'll make sure that every Changeling in Equestria will die in front of you. I'll bring them from wherever they're hiding and rip their hearts out." I said darkly, giving her a evil smirk. Her eyes grew wide with fear and she looked like she was now on the verge of tears.

"You're a monster!" She yelled, tears rolling down her coal-black cheeks.

"I get that a lot, now tell me why and I might let them live." I said sternly, giving her a death stare.

She looked at me for a moment, before hanging her head and saying, "I was forced."

"By who?" I asked curiously, eyeing the Queen with caution.

"The Nightmare." She said, her face turning into a somber expression. My eyes went wide with surprise at the new piece of information. The Nightmare, the same entity that turned Luna into Nightmare Moon, was alive. If he was alive, then he was a threat; he was the only known creature/entity in Equestria that could do me any harm.

"Where is he?" I asked, looking off towards the horizon. I was worried about what the Nightmare was doing at the time while me and the Mane Six were cleaning Ponyville from all the Changelings.

"I don't know at this very moment, but last time I saw him he was in the Badlands." She said, and I instantly took off towards the area. Best to strike him down while he was weak instead of when he had full power.

"Wait, Tyrant!" A very recognizable voice called out, also causing me take a look back and see Rainbow Dash following me.

"What do you want, Dash?" I asked, facing forwards with a blank expression on my face.

"I wanted to know why you're leaving Ponyville." She replied. I paused for a moment, and looked back at her with a stern look.

"Tell Luna that the Nightmare is back." And with that, I flew towards the Badlands with amazing speeds. I wasn't going to let the Nightmare roam around in Equestria, especially when I was free to do whatever I pleased.
