Discord wasn't always the King of Chaos... He was a good "pony" when he had Neon Lights. Neon Lights was his wife. Together, they had a filly and they named her Nikki. Sadly, after the birth, Neon Lights died. Discord was filled sadness so, he swore to reek havoc upon Equestria. Although, one day, the sister princesses used the Elements of Harmony to turn Discord to stone. Nikki was enraged. She knew that she had to get her revenge. Things really went differently than she thought...

Nikki had been plotting for a while now and she had gotten an idea. She kept causing problems in the Everfree Forrest, like convincing the creatures to rade the lands at night. Princess Luna never got to see how much everypony loved her night because she and her sister where dealing with the problems. Then, on at night where everypony was too tired to enjoy the night, Nikki stopped. Luna saw the ponies and was so angry that she turned into Nightmare Moon. Princess Celestia had to use the Elements of Harmony to trap her sister in the moon.

But, on the longest day of the thousandth year... Nightmare Moon was freed! Nikki heard a prophecy that six hearts would unite and they would have the power to defeat Nightmare Moon. She couldn't let this happen though, it would ruin her revenge. So, she went to see Nightmare Moon. She needed to convince her to find these ponies and destroy them. As she was going to there, she met the Shadow Bolts. "We are the Shadow Bolts! Now, who are you!?"

"I'm someone who needs to talk to Nightmare. So move and let me through."

"Hey, you have wings. They look strong for a little pony. How about you join our group..."

"No."

"Fine. Then just fly right on over us. We won't stop you." They pointed to the sky above them "Go on..."

"My wings hurt. So move." They all circled around her. They touched her wings.

"Yes, that's it... Go..." They opened the circle.

"Goodbye." She walked through and continued on the path. She could hear the Shadow Bolts cackling. She turned to look at them but, a thick fog had formed. She continued. "I'm almost there..." She said to herself. Suddenly she started falling.

She flapped her wings as hard as she could. "Come on... Please!" She couldn't do it. She didn't know how to fly. "Help!" She though that it was the end... SPLASH! She looked around. Purple water? It started to burn... "Ah!" She quickly ran out and on to land. She ripped of her suit which was covered in nightmare acid. Her fur was now hot and steaming. It would hurt but she wouldn't die... She saw Nightmare Moon's castle and walked over to it.

"Hello?! Nightmare Moon?!" She entered the castle and looked around.

"Who dares to disturb me!?" She ran into the ballroom to see Nightmare Moon looking at her angrily.

"I have come to warn you of a proph-"

"No one disturbs me and gets away with it!" She started shoot bolts of light from her horn at her. She ran as she could, barely being missed by the bolts. Some streaked across her mane and tail. When it hit, the acid became cool and left a neon mark. She started run to the door.

"Agh!" She was hit in the flank. She held her tears and dashed out of the castle. She ran and never looked back. She didn't let a single tear fall. She held in her screams of agony. She ran and ran and ran.

Finally, she was far, far away. She looked at her flank. "Is that?" She had a cutie mark. "That's not possible! Because I'm half Draconequus, I can't get a cutie mark!" There where four neon triangles on her flank, one pink, one green, one yellow, and one blue. One tear slipped. It went down her cheek then onto her neck, it slowly creeped down her body until was on her "cutie mark". It absorbed the rest of the nightmare acid. "Ow!" it burned her down to the skin. She looked at the white line that went down her body. She looked into the sky. "Mother... I've changed now. Your name is Neon Lights. From now on and forever... I'm Neon Dynamite."

Author's Note

This is how Nikki turned into who she is now. Now that she failed to warn Nightmare Moon, will the prophecy come true or... Is it just a lie?
