Chapter 1: Chaos at the Door
Load Full StoryNext ChapterPROLOGUE
Among a pile of dust and debris, small heckled coughs were drowned out over the sound of another nearby event taking place. However, from the source of the heckled coughs, tiny sparks of pale lightning crackled and surrounded a tiny figure. The figure trembled as it just continued to lay among the debris, attempting to make sense of what was happening around it, but for now all it saw was a haze.
"Now I understand what your fellow princesses have done."
A voice? Whose was it? It sounded deep, rough, powerful. The tiny figure just blinked, still trying to make sense of everything, anything.
Next followed a scream, and the rumbling of distant mountains. The sounds of chaotic destruction only continued as the tiny figure steadily rose to its feet, before crawling over some large boulders. It was apparent it had hooves, as well as a long slender tail, and large clawed hands. As it made it over one of the boulders, it peered on ahead towards two figures in the distance. One was a figure which she instantly recognized to be a pony, while the other was much larger and broad, and centaur was the word which came to mind. As the figure stood upon the boulder, it just blinked in curiosity watching the two do battle with one another before it mumbled. "Why're you two fighting?"
CHAPTER 1: CHAOS AT THE DOOR
A peaceful morning, something Twilight Sparkle felt she rarely got enough of these days. She was sleeping in, with no plans whatsoever! As she snuggled up in her blankets, she cuddled further into her pillow with a tired chuckle. It was so often she had new princess priority work to deal with she forgot that sometimes, she could just relax. It almost reminded her of the days back when she was in Canterlot, studying at her leisure. She didn't have that many worries back then either. Life was so simple in the old days, all she'd have to do was get up, study in her pastime, and report to Princess Celestia on her progress. But nonetheless she was grateful for change, especially this sort of change. She was now surrounded by loving friends, wise beyond her years, and only furthering her life story with the wonderful adventures she partook in on practically a daily basis. Yes, despite how good it felt to relax, she would never give up this crazy lifestyle for anything.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Twilight's eyes snapped wide as she just laid on her side. She covered her head with a pillow and groaned.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Twilight rolled around twice, before staring at the roof of her Queen Sized bed with deep bags underlining her eyes. Now she appeared irritated. What was that about never giving up that crazy lifestyle she thought? She couldn't help but feel bitter over the irony.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
Twilight closed her eyes before shouting with ferocity! "I'M COMING!"
Twilight made her way down to the main lobby of the castle as she still wore that grumpy expression. Who could it possibly be? The others had their own keys to the castle, and she wasn't expecting any visitors today. She was precise with her planning, and Pinkie Pie was the only one who happened to throw crazy surprises, and she had a key. So who was this unexpected visitor who'd be so eager to come to her with what she assumed to be a problem? But her cutie mark wasn't blinking either so it couldn't have been that severe. Twilight was running the scenarios through her mind as she made her way towards the large front door of the castle with a heavy sigh. She paused before the door and closed her eyes, exhaled, then patted her cheeks. She muttered softly to herself, "Get it together Twilight." She couldn't allow herself to be so selfish! She was the Princess of Friendship, sleep could wait, the problems of her subjects is what mattered most!
Twilight put on a wide eager confident smile, as she nodded to herself one last time in determination. "Alright!" This was just another start to another day, probably another problem she'd solve in no time! This was nothing to her at this point. Actually, the more she thought of the positive aspect of it all, the more excited she became. She smirked, actually ready to take this problem head on. "Let's do this!"
Twilight opened the door and peered towards the outside world, actually blinded by the sunlight for a moment before it dissipated and everything came into view. But to her surprise, she saw nothing but the town of Ponyville further off in the distance. "Huh?" Twilight blinked a bit while standing, as she just continued to peer ahead before her eyes steadily coursed on down. But as her particular visitor came into view, her pupils only dilated as she felt frozen in place, unable to say anything as she just stared plainly at, it.
Standing on Twilight's doorstep would be a very familiar creature. It wore a bright and happy smile, and had purple fur and a slender snakelike body with pony legs attached, and two red claw arms, with black horns protruding from its head. Its mane was long, ruffled and white, while it also had wide beautiful violet eyes. And it just continued to stand there, staring plainly at Twilight Sparkle as it clutched a book against its chest. It chuckled happily. "MOMMA! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!"
There was a lengthy silence between the two after that.
Twilight screeched in terror! "EYAH!" Before slamming the door shut in the creature's face.
The creature flinched with surprise as it just stood there on the doorstep, clueless, continuing to hold the book.
Twilight staggered back, trembling at this point as she continued to steadily retreat further from the door. "T-That's, that was a-"
Knock, knock, knock!
"Momma! Are you alright? You looked really sick! I know it took me awhile to find you but I still had a lot to learn!"
Twilight immediately began to bar the door with all the furniture she could find as she continued to tremble. "S-SPIKE! SPIIIIIIKE!!!" Twilight's thoughts were racing as she tried to make sense of the scenario. But no answer she came up with made sense. I-I've got to send a letter to Princess Celestia! Let her know that another Discord has managed to appear! B-But where did she come from!? W-Why is she here!? Is she looking for Discord!? I-I can't defeat a draconequus by myself, n-not alone, can I? I-I just have to buy time and not fall for any of her tricks until Spike gets here. Twilight's gaze drifted momentarily in confusion. E-Especially that 'Momma' one.
"Momma are you there!?" There was a brief pause. "O-Oh, now I understand! THIS IS A TEST!"
Twilight's eyes widened as she suddenly focused on all the furniture blocking the door as the castle started to rumble.
And suddenly the door blew off its hinges as the furniture flew and scattered with it, creating an opening as a thick cloud of dust and smoke followed. Emerging from that cloud of smoke was the purple draconequus as it still wore its same smile. "Did I pass!?"
Twilight flinched as she immediately pulled further back before surrounding the draconequus with a bubble of magic.
The draconequus just glanced up and around at the bubble itself. "Oh?" Before she popped it with a poke. "How amazing!"
Twilight gasped as she gulped. W-What!? That was a fortified defense spell, C-Cadence taught me that! "Who are you? Why do you keep calling me Momma!? I-I'm not a draconequus!" At this point she was desperate for answers, as well as for a way to keep this draconequus at bay for the time being. Twilight lowered her head cautiously, remaining focused on the child before her.
The draconequus smiled. "Of course you're my Momma! I made sure of it! I did a lot of studying just like you would before coming here!" She smiled before closing her eyes and her smile widened even further. "Is this another test Momma? My name is Calamity!"
Twilight's expression of nervousness only worsened. C-Calamity?....
"T-TWILIGHT! WHAT'S GOING ON!?"
Twilight's eyes widened again as she looked towards the staircase with relief. "SPIKE!"
Suddenly hurrying down the steps was Spike as he stopped before Twilight, taking a look around. "W-What's with this huge me-" before he paused and just went into an immediate stutter, pointing his claw while trembling at the draconequus standing not far off from the door. He had trouble gathering the words to describe how he felt currently, or what he wanted to say. "Who, Um, who is-"
Twilight spread her hooves as she focused on the draconequus seriously. "Calamity...."
Calamity continued to smile at Twilight silently, patiently, as if just waiting for her to address her directly.
Spike trembled. "Twilight, w-we, we should get the others. This is serious." He gulped.
Twilight gulped herself, as she remained serious and spoke more softly. "I know, which is exactly why I want you to send a letter to Princess Celestia describing what you've just seen and the current situation. I'll distract her for the time being until then."
Spike looked at Twilight desperately, clutching onto her. "T-Twilight you're not planning to-"
Twilight shook her head before glancing down at the baby dragon. "Of course not Spike. Calamity doesn't seem interested in that, and I don't plan to provoke her into a duel. If she wants to continue to play these mind games like Discord, I'll amuse her for the time being."
Spike backed away from Twilight before hurriedly making his way down another corridor. "Be careful Twilight!"
Twilight nodded firmly. "I will." And she disappeared almost instantly following her words, before reappearing outside.
Calamity didn't react as she disappeared as well, instantly reappearing in front of Twilight.
Twilight gasped again. S-She's fast. But teleportation magic is one of my strong points! She disappeared again, this time reappearing on another level of the castle as she breathed heavily, looking towards the front yard for any sign of Calamity.
"So is this tag Momma? I love tag! I bet I can catch you!"
Twilight's eyes widened again as she immediately looked to her right, as sitting beside her with her legs crossed and resting her chin atop one of her open palms was Calamity wearing a pleased smile. Twilight backed away again, just shaking her head.
Calamity peered over and up at her with a smile. "I got it from you afterall."
Twilight spread her wings as she took for the skies with haste, soaring above the clouds in mere moments as she was now doing the best she could to stay away from this monster! W-Who is she!? Why does she keep saying these creepy things!? I'm not her mom!
Calamity just looked towards the skies in confusion. "Is it possible Momma doesn't know?"
Twilight continued to fly, as she just desperately still tried to connect any pieces she was missing.
"Momma? You made me."
Twilight blinked a bit, as she only just noticed the sudden weight on her back as she flew. "W-What!? When did you?"
Calamity continued while sitting on Twilight's back. "Back when you and Papa were fighting! I thought you knew!"
Twilight almost immediately flushed red as she looked offended. "Papa!? WAIT! Y-You're serious!?" Twilight came to an immediate halt as she rolled midair, and caught Calamity with her hooves before staring her straight in the face. "Y-You're NOT playing mind games with me!? You REALLY think I'm your Mom?" Twilight just stared at her stubbornly at this point, almost suspended in disbelief by the prospect.
Calamity nodded plainly, just staring at Twilight while blinking every now and then.
Twilight rolled her eyes as she just glared at the draconequus. "L-Listen, um, Calamity. I'm not your mom, I've-" she glanced to her right, looking uncomfortable as she was obviously trying to figure out a way to explain this. "I've- I couldn't have done anything that's necessary to be your mom." She now looked sad, knowing breaking the news to the child would break her heart. "You've got the wrong pony."
Calamity spoke plainly. "Sunshine sunshine lady bugs awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake."
Twilight's eyes widened. "W-What? But that's..."
Calamity continued. "Star Swirl the Bearded. Commendable costume! Thou even got the bells right."
Twilight immediately released Calamity as the draconequus just remained elevated in the air herself with a blank expression. Twilight suddenly looked angry. "T-That's- HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SPYING ON ME!? There's no way you could recall those things!"
Calamity smiled again as she snapped her claw as suddenly appearing in her palm was a large book, the one Twilight recognized she was holding onto earlier. Calamity pulled it open to a random page and then showed it to Twilight, as it was shown to be a scribbled drawing of Twilight as a filly. "I know everything about you Momma! Your whole recent life! I know it all!" She closed her eyes with a bright smile as while she continued to talk, Twilight only steadily appeared more and more horrified. "It took me awhile to make sense of your memories! But when I did that's when I knew you were my Momma! You made me during the battle with Papa! How don't you know!?"
Twilight's eyes only widened further as she looked upon the pages and trembled. "B-Battle....Battle with,....Papa?"
Calamity grinned happily, as she turned to another page merrily. "Yes! Papa! Don't you recognize him!?"
And Twilight felt as if her psyche had snapped upon seeing that page. A poorly drawn red & black centaur. Twilight's world slowed down as her eyes steadily coursed back to Calamity, and she looked at the black horns, the red fur arms, white mane, and then, most hauntingly, those familiar purple eyes. Twilight knew whose eyes those were now that she took a good long look at them, they were hers.
Calamity's expression brightened as she looked excited. "So, you finally believe me Momma!? Hooray!" She chuckled happily, breaking off into a merry laugh as Twilight just continued to remain elevated there, in shock. Calamity continued as she looked up at Princess Twilight, before latching onto her in the form of a hug. "So, speaking of Papa!" She smiled, "When will we see him?"
And Twilight just looked down at the draconequus as her face darkened in distress. T-This, this can't be happening.
