Master of Chaos

When I came to, I realized that I was hanging from the ceiling like a bat. I also realized the reason I was hanging from the ceiling was because I was in some sort of green egg sack.

Knew it, I fucking knew it.

Same here. So what now, Miss Goody Two-Shoes? Still think that that Alicorn is all about love?

I felt Benevolence do an eye-roll. No, but how could I have known that she was evil?

Heed my warnings, that's how.

You don't know how much of a pain you can be, do you?

While they were bickering in my head, I decided to take a closer look at my surroundings; I appeared to be in a cave of some sorts with crystal spires. They hung from the ceiling and poked out of the ground, to which I then heard somepony sobbing. If I wasn't in a cave, I probably wouldn't of heard it. But since I was, I heard it.

I slowly turned my head to where the sound was coming from, until my horn poked the tip of the egg sack and I fell out. Let me tell you one thing; just because I was immortal and the strongest being on the planet, I still felt pain. And going head-first on the ground hurts like a bitch.

I quickly gripped my head and started groaning in pain. I rubbed where my head hit and felt a bump, most likely a bruise that I was going to have later on.

Once the pain subsided, I got on my hooves and looked around. Nothing seemed out of place until my eyes fell on a very familiar pink princess.

I gently coughed, catching her attention. I was surprised she didn't notice me falling out of the egg sack, because I hit the ground pretty hard. Anyways, I caught her attention and she turned to me. Upon seeing her face, I instantly turned into my original form and picked her up by the throat.

I could see the fear in her eyes, which was exactly what I wanted. "Who are you, and why did you try to imprison me?!"

She flinched, the look of fear still on her face. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she shook her head quickly. "No no no, you got the wrong pony! I'm Princess Cadence, and the other one was a Changeling!"

I kept glaring into her eyes, not breathing the slightest breath. After a few seconds of hardcore glaring, I took in some air and let her go, to which she hit the floor with a *thump*.

I opened my mouth to ask a question, but was cut-off when a nearby wall exploded. I quickly covered my eyes and looked away, trying not to get any dust or shrapnel in them. Once I was sure it calmed down, I lowered my hand and took a look at who did it.

I raised an eyebrow upon seeing Twilight standing in the new hole in the wall. She was huffing and puffing, probably from magic exertion, but as soon as her eyes landed on Cadence, she jumped at her with a battle-cry.

I chuckled, watching Cadence talk Twilight down and then they...

What the hell are they doing?

Doing some sort of shake or something, obviously.

Yeah, no shit.

Oi! I'm not the one who asked the goddamn question, now am I?

Will you two stop your bickering and get on with the story?

The what?

Pay attention and get back to the real world!

I gave an odd look before realizing that they had stopped and were now giving me an odd look.

"You alright?" Twilight asked, to which I happily responded.

"I'm fine, just talking to the voices in my head." They gave me one more odd look before turning to each other and nodding. They quickly tried to find a way out, blasting more holes in walls. I followed suit, punching holes in walls and checking for daylight.

While we were destroying, they began singing.

Someone wanna turn off my hearing in there?

Already on it.

It took a few minutes, but we finally made it out. They feel relieved, I feel like I survived the end of the world. I mean seriously, have you ever heard them sing? I know I turned off my hearing sense, but it broke through my brain and turned it back on! It took all my willpower to not just strangle them, but I managed to make sure that didn't happen.

Anyways, we got out, saw the daylight, saved the Princesses, the end.

No, fuck that.

The first thing that happened when we got out was that we got attacked by a swarm of Changelings, which was huge!

Twilight and Cadence hid behind me while I took on the whole goddamn swarm! Gee, thanks girls!

Anywho, the very first one got the worst way to go; I grabbed hold of it's neck and ripped off its insect-like wing. After that, I threw it on the ground and stomped on its foreleg, earning a shriek of pain from the Changeling. I then quickly kicked it out of my sight, which wasn't hard since we were surrounded by a swarm of Changelings.

Well this is going to be fun.

----------Canterlot Castle----------

Chrysalis had finally done it; she beat Celestia.

Currently, Celestia was trying to struggle in a egg sack that hung upside down from the ceiling. Chrysalis knew that Celestia couldn't escape it, which is why she trapped Tyrant in one of them. If Celestia couldn't escape it, neither could Tyrant, or so she hoped. She had green slime attached to five of the Element Bearers. Twilight and Cadence were put in the Canterlot Catacombs, along with Tyrant.

Suddenly, she fell on her side, screaming in pain as if her head was splitting in two. She had felt migraines before when a Changeling either died or was disconnected from the Hive Mind, but this was far worse than anything she's ever experienced. It obviously wasn't a few Changelings, nor was it thirty. No, it was almost the whole swarm!

And from what she's experienced, there was not a single pony or creature in Equestria that could do that except for...

Oh no.

No no no, no! He couldn't of escaped! It's nearly impossible to escape thos- GAH! She quickly gripped onto her head, the pain slowly increasing. After a few minutes, the pain subsided, and she crawled over to the throne. Where were her guards?! They should've helped her by now!

She stopped crawling and slowly got back on her hooves. Upon looking around, she noticed that she wasn't in the Canterlot Palace anymore. Instead, she was outside near a forest of sorts.

"You thought that you could trap me in that prison, didn't you?" A voice boomed from the forest, causing her jump backwards in fright. The loud voice chuckled darkly, and seemed to be getting louder when it said, "Alas, no prison can hold me except for the stone prison I was put in. But I must thank you, for you have made me realize some things."

Chrysalis was about to ask what he meant by that, but didn't have the time as a tall figure jumped out of the forest and landed in front of her at incredible speeds. Now the figure was looming over her, and she slowly looked up at it with fearful eyes. Upon seeing his face, she almost fainted. Instead, she backpedaled, trying to gain as much distance from Tyrant as possible.

Tyrant chuckled, a sadistic smile appearing on his face. He then used his magic to lift her up in the air and throw her back on the ground.

"The first thing I learned is that I have to keep my guard up at all times, like when you fooled me into believing that you were Princess Cadence." He walked over to Chrysalis and punched her across the face. "The second is that I must kill to get rid of a problem, forever." He grabbed her by the tail and threw up in the air. "The third is that nopony can be trusted." Once she was within arms reach he sent a fist at her stomach, keeping her in the air. "And finally," Chrysalis hit the ground, nearly unconscious. "One must plan an attack for those who least expect it." Suddenly, everything started swirling and Tyrant disappeared. The same happened to Chrysalis, to which she blacked out a moment before.

Tyrant's POV

I pulled myself out of Chrysalis' mind, laughing inwardly; she was going to have trouble speaking of what I told her in there, because now I had a plan for future foes.

Now that that's over, we can go on to more pressing matters.

Like what?

Have you taken a look around you yet?

I quickly looked around, seeing multiple Changeling corpses around me, getting shocked stares from everypony including Princess Cadence and the Elements of Harmony; the usual.

I don't see what the problem is.

UGH! Do I have to explain EVERYTHING to you?! Like, where's LUNA?!

I took a closer look around, but to no avail as I couldn't see the Princess in question. My eyes widened and I scrambled to my feet, my worry levels going through the roof.

Once I was on my feet, I sprinted over to Princess Celestia, who in turn walked over to me. I caught her halfway and quickly asked, "Where's Luna?! Is she okay?!"

Celestia stepped back, a surprised look on her face. "She returned to her quarters, why?"

I quickly sighed with relief, glad to know that Luna was okay. "Oh, I don't know, maybe because she's my marefriend... nah, that couldn't be the reason." I said sarcastically, smirking.

Celestia rolled her eyes before smiling softly and saying in a calm voice, "On behalf of the Princesses, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, the Elements of Harmony, and all of Equestria, we thank you for your heroic efforts."

I chuckled slightly, snapping my fingers and teleporting to Luna's room.

---------------------Luna's Room---------------------

In a flash of light, I appeared in Luna's Room. I looked around, checking for any sign of Luna, and found that she was out on the balcony, staring at the streets below. I decided to slowly approach her, and noticed that there was black smoke behind her. Probably from the burning buildings that got hit by Changelings.

Once I got to the balcony doors, I morphed into my Pony form, smiling softly.

"I shouldn't have listened." Luna said abruptly, her tone being that of sadness. I stopped, confused.

"What?" Smooth move, T.

Luna turned to me, allowing me to see her face; tears were streaming down her face, staining the fur on her face. "Celestia told me to stay up here in my quarters... she said that she could handle this herself... now look at the destruction..." She moved to the side, giving me a full view of the city, and I won't lie...

It was bad.

Most of the buildings were collapsed, and some were still standing with flames leaking out of the windows. Ponies were crawling out of alleyways, scorch marks on most of their faces, others had cuts and bruises. Unicorns held dumped buckets of water on the fires, attempting to put out the flames or at least slow the spreading. The Pegasi did the same, putting rain clouds over the fires to douse them.

I winced, taking a deep breath and looking over to Luna, who kept looking at me with deep sadness.

"I could've st-stopped this, if only I didn't listen to Celestia..." She said, her sobs increasing in severity. Now I really felt bad, and I had to find a way to cheer her up. Thinking of something to say, and finding it, I walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"Let it out, Luna. Let it out..." I said softly, waiting for her to do so. Not two seconds later, the flood gates opened. Tears, tears, and more tears. She must have really been bottling all this up, trying to keep herself from yelling at Celestia or actually fighting her.

"I know I could've stopped this T, I know it!" She sobbed out into my shoulder. I tensed, a bit frustrated that she believed that she could've done anything, not in a mean way though.

"Luna, listen to me," I started, making her look at my face. "You couldn't have done anything to stop this result from happening. Hell, I couldn't even stop the Changelings, and that was just most of the Hive coming after me. I know how you feel..."

"NO YOU DON'T!" She shouted at me in the Royal Canterlot Voice. I frowned, narrowing my eyes.

"Actually, I do; before I ever came to this world, I lost those I protected from enemy countries that wanted me dead! My people, my buildings, even my own castle! You think the internal pain you're feeling right now is hard, try losing your entire world to your enemies!"

She flinched, and instantaneously I regretted it. "Luna, I'm sorry for yelling at you, but you must understand; I. CARE. TOO."

After a few minutes of silence, she pulled me back into a hug, her sobs softening. "I just wish this could go away, you know, just like that..."

I chuckled, making her look at me again. "That's a silly question for somepony who can do just that."

She smiled, putting her head on my shoulder. "Then do it." My horn glowed, sending a orb of light towards the center of the city. It's results were the same as last time; everything was fixed.

I watched as the black smoke dispersed and the collapsed buildings rebuild themselves. I knew everything was going to fix itself, but what about Luna?

I looked down at her, a smile creeping on my lips; she was still hugging me with her head on my shoulder. I had a way to cheer her up.

Don't you do it, Tyrant.

I'm gonna do it!

Sorry T, but I have to agree with Benevolence on this one; don't do it.

Why not?

Because we don't know how she'll react to it.

I got this.

I slowly raised one of my hooves, morphing it into a hand. "Hey Luna?"

"Yeah, Tyrant?" She asked, turning her head to me. As she did so, I quickly moved my hooves to her underbelly, tickling her. Her once sad look was replaced by a large smile and lots of laughter.
