The Elements of Mayhem--Awakening

The trees around him concealed most of the light the sky had to offer. Sounds of animals echoed around the dark purple stallion as he started to walk slowly.

A pair of yellow eyes followed the pony as he walked. Hearing a slight creak, the pony turned his head, "Is somepony there?"

There was no response. The stallion swallowed a bit and continued walking. As his hooves rustled among the leaves, the creak happened again. "What's that?!"

Nothing behind him. The stallion turned back around and was immediately met with the gaping jaws of a Timberwolf lunging in for an attack. He ducked and ran to the side, trying to escape the predator.

The Timberwolf swiped its claws at him, managing to catch a feather off of his wing. . . I have wings! he realized as he rolled to avoid another attack before starting to gallop away. The wolf started pursuit. The stallion darted between two trees that the Timberwolf couldn't fit through. As the wooden creature went around the trees, the pony spread his wings and took off.

The stallion landed next to a lake, panting a bit. He went to look at his reflection. His coat was a dark purple colour, his mane was teal, and his eyes were an icy blue. The thing that caught his attention, however, was the horn protruding from his head. "I'm. . .An alicorn. . ?"

"Fragment Soul. . .That's my name," he said, "But why am I an alicorn?"

Memories surfaced in his mind. He existed to counter the Element of Magic for an unknown master.

Suddenly, a tentacle shot out of the water and wrapped around his neck, pulling him under the surface immediately.

Fragment struggled against the tentacle as it dragged him through the water. He saw the body it was connected to; A large squid-like creature with red eyes. It pulled the pony towards its mouth.

Fragment continued to struggle, as he realized his horn could help him here.

The creature stuck him headfirst into its mouth, removing the tentacle from him and shutting him inside as his horn started to emit its magical aura.

A few moments later, the monster writhed and spat the pony out with enough force to breach the surface of the lake. Fragment gasped for breath and swam as quickly as he could back to the shore.

Fragment shook his wings out and took flight to put more distance between himself and the angry kraken.

The pony had a feeling, prompting him to fly in a particular direction. He eventually reached a shack and landed beside it.

"He's here," a mare inside said.

"So, we've each been created to counter a different Element of Harmony," Turn said, "Do we have a collective name?"

"Of course we do. We're the opposite," Sneak responded, "The Elements of. . .Mayhem."

Heart paced a bit, "So, it should counter the elements pretty well if I simply kill Fluttershy."

"No!" Turn, Hot Rod, Fragment, and Sneak said all at once.

Witness jolted up from her nap, "What's the question?"

"Why can't I kill Fluttershy?" Heart asked the rest.

Hot Rod glared at her, "Because it's a kid's show, you moron."

The other five slowly turned to look at him with confused expressions.

". . .What?" The earth pony asked, "It is!"
