The Message (Prologue)

"No," Discord exclaimed, watching as the rainbow beam came down on top of him, like an avalanche on a mountain in his old wooden Mahogany chair, with his red cushion that was brand new. Once the rainbow beam hits the tip of the chair, be begins to scream, "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" as he is swiftly turned into stone for the second time in his chaos reigning career. Surprisingly, this attempt actually lasted longer. As he was being encased in stone, from his dragon foot and hoof to his head made of a lot of different creatures, he sends out an, and I quote, an "SOS" signal, a signal that only Draconequesses can hear and see. This signal had an emanating pink wave that got bigger in size, as it traveled through space, time and matter. Traveling distant universes, multiverses, and dimensions, it has even traveled through the measurement of time, approximately 3 years, until it has reached the one dimension it was supposed to go to.

This dimension has been inhabited by only Draconequesses and whatever else they have brought into the dimension. The front of the dimension was made to look like a chaotic subway station with more colors than the rainbow plus two, the floor had a shiny polished touch to it for it was layered with inedible chocolate tiles each one had a different look than the last. The doors that lead to different dimensions had different solids and other things that can't be explained. One door was a clean cut door with marble laced with ancient roman looking architecture with ponies instead of humans. On the other side of that door, Chrysalis' castle had been destroyed and every changeling had been reformed, a few seconds later a black spot had been spotted flying in the distance from the door. Following the light, comes that pink signal from before, not from the portal, however, it has penetrated through the galactic, clear sky. The sky was a light turquoise that had sight of the entire universe, that sky, allowed the inhabitants see everything that was happening in space. They could see nebulas form, galaxies turn, stars die off and civilizations emerge for a multitude different species.

The signal has traveled to a somewhat big and chaotic house with wood, hay, checkerboards, and blue bricks as the noticeable building blocks of this humble abode. Inside were 6 other Draconequesses, that were the "heroes" of this dimension. They were called the elements of chaos.

The first element was a tiny looking female Draconequess, about 5 feet, 2 inches tall, she represented the element of Illusion. Her name was Vafora. She had the face of a child; soft and squeezable, with the wings of a dragon, none of the wings were different as they were colored lime green. The rest of her body had an athlete's figure, that looked like it was dumped with tan paint with gray feathers on the other side of her body. Her feet had the thickness of a griffin's front arm,(not that thick) that could hold her torso up plus maybe 39 pounds. She had the ability to change her entire surroundings with the snap of her fingers. She could make war-torn cities look brand new with the people walking around buying their goods and services. Only if one were to touch the holographic person, they would simply go right through it.

The second entity in the room was named, Emberstride, a well-known warrior for leaving nothing in his path but has a soft spot for loved ones. He represented the element of Destruction. He has fought many planets and has left them ablaze or in pieces. He has the body of a warrior with lion arms and dragon legs, he always wears at least one piece of armor either made of gold or stolen from his enemies. His arms always looked like he just worked out at the gym, veins bulging out, biceps longer than 3 inches, and sore from work. He hated the ponies; hated them more than he cared about his family. They took away discord when he started his warmongering campaign but hasn't the slightest amount of time to deal with them.

The third entity was named Fleafs, she was a kind soul, kindest out of all of them, but when she sees a piece of gold or something of value, she will escape her kindness area and find a way to take it. She was a very sneaky, sly, and misleading girl. She looked just like Vafora for she was her older sister, but she was taller about 3 inches, and she always wore a hood no matter where she went, to hide her identity and to hide her shame. No matter where she went she wanted to take whatever she saw, but there was a trace amount of kindness inside of her that didn't want to do it. She was addicted to stealing. Rarely, she asks her sister if she can help mislead someone, and luckily enough it always works.

Next, there was Rylo, he was the seditious one out of them all. He represented the element of betrayal, for his act of betrayal to every promise he makes. He was 4' 9'', he had the legs of a cheetah, arms of a woodpecker's legs, and horns that resembled a buck's horns in the winter. He was known for working for both sides of a conflict and then double crossing them both for his personal gain. He has been very successful when he is alone, but when someone he trusts is in the fray he is known for looking back on those mistakes. The only other being he can trust are his friends that sit around him, he used to be best buddies with Discord until he received a taste of his own medicine. Discord was immediately got karma and was frozen in stone the first time.

After that was a Draconequess that could counter the effects of Twilight's magic easily, his name was Titus. He was the element of Dark Magic. Unlike the magic his species normally uses, his magic can counter any spell or ability and can use space, time and matter to his advantage. He could freeze time, he could time travel, he could even implode a planet with the snap of his fingers. His downside to it is he must have a motive to do such a thing. Most of his decisions are based on justice and ethics. Such as, should he do this for this reason or should he not do it for this reason. He has a dragon leg for a right leg, a white pon's leg for his left, the arms of a human, and the wings of a pegasus. Though people normally don't see him for he has a wizard's cloak on most of the time, a blue soft fabric laced with gold foil streaks, and red bolts of lightning draping down the sides.

Lastly, there was the cruelest of them all, Emberstride's brother, Cid, he represented the element of Cruelty. On the battlefield, he stood by his brother, thinking of the ways that he could torture that being.(if you don't like seeing gore turn back now) When he sees a human, he thinks about crucifying that person to two posts, create tiny cuts along their body and pouring salt all over them. Then he would hang them by their hands and slice their Achilles tendon with a potato slicer, after that he would electrocute the victim with 2 car batteries leaving the tigers to feast on it. He had the same details as his brother but didn't look as ripped.

That afternoon was a friend get together, it was board game day, and the first game to play was a modified version of Risk. Instead of human pawns they used their own species' pawns to make it more like home. This game was their favorite game to them for most of them loved to command or use a weapon.

"I'm not sure if I want to play," Vafora stated with a soft voice.

"Relax sis," her sister Fleafs said, "we know Titus is going to win anyway." Titus has won every game of Risk for "cheating", he goes forward in time, as a ghost and sees what their strategy is. Emberstride, on the other hand, is determined to change that.

"Not this time!" Emberstride commandingly declared, "there is no way he will take over my army!"

"I wouldn't give your hopes up," Titus confidently said as he peered his head toward Emberstride, "I already know how you will try to beat me, so it depends on if you go through with your plans."

Rylo leaned over to Fleafs for she already made an alliance with Vafora. He thought to himself, I could get an advantage out of this, then I will betray her late game.

"Hey Fleafs, wanna make an alliance?" Rylo whispered, he had little confidence, she knew what his plan was and she didn't need to ask.

"Nah, I'm good," Fleafs said with a smug look on her face. "I know what you were trying to do anyway."

The board was all set and the first pair of dice was ready to roll. Alliances were made, colors were picked strategies were decided. The youngest player to roll was Vafora so she went first. She rolled the recently polished white dice and landed on a four and a two. Then, all of the sudden, a pink portal appeared over the board and showed that Discord was encased in stone for the second time. Next to him, was an imprint on the ground that said S.O.S.

"Why are we seeing this?" Emberstride asked angrily, "I was about to beat Titus!"

"Yes indeed, why are we seeing this?" Titus questionably stated.
The picture veered out to view a purple pony standing over Discord, with her friends by her cheering that they beat discord. Emberstride screamed immediately,

"I. HATE. PONIES!" Grabbing a cleanly cut stack of stone and busting through it without even trying.
Celestia entered the view of the portal and congratulated the ponies on how well friendship can truly solve problems. Titus immediately disagreed with the statement and exclaimed softly,

"Friendship works both ways, it can help you or it can break you, *sighs* now I see that Discord failed at breaking them.... for the second time." Cid jumped out of his chair and ecstatically said,

"What are we waiting for? Let's go get him!"

"Hold your fire soldier," Vafora calmly said, "why should we help him anyway? It won't affect us any."

"Yes it will," Titus patiently said edging his way towards the door. "He can help us become stronger than we think."

"I what ways?" Vafora aggravatedly replied, "how can he possibly help us?"

"We are the strongest species in the universe," Titus said, "If we add one of the strongest assets in the universe, we will be unstoppable. We could rule the universe!" Everyone in the room looked at each other and shook their Draconequess heads. Agreeing with Titus, they travel to the dimensional door room where they find the portal to Equestria.

"Is everyone ready?" Titus asked in excitement. They rest of the elements nodded and followed Titus. "Let's get Discord back," Titus muttered to himself laughing maniacally through the portal. His laugh was scarier than the Joker's laugh, and every being in existence knew that laugh. Ripples in the portal were left behind as they traveled through the portal.
