The Chaos Experiment

After the incident happened, Sunset and Uni have been closer than ever before, especially now that they were going out. A fact not missed by the infamous tease queen Rarity, who was currently in the middle of mercilessly teasing the couple.

"Oh... So? How is it?"

"How is what?" Sunset asked.

"Oh don't play dumb with me, darling. You know exactly what I mean? How is it going out with our new friend there." She gestured to Uni, who was sitting in bed watching the scene unfold.

The two of them smiled, and Uni took the lead this time. "It's great, actually."

"Oh? So, yo're not denying your love for her anymore?" Rarity asked, genuinely curious on top of the teasing.

"Why would I? We're a couple now."

Sunset blushed at that word. Don't get her wrong. She was happy that he said that, but, that was just it. She was happy. When they shared that moment in the ruins of the Fall Formal, she was so happy that she could've died right then and there and had no regrets.

"Alright, girls." Sunset said. "It's time we all left Uni alone. He needs his rest."

"Really? Are you sure you don't just want to have him to yourself? Oh, you naughty girl!" Rarity teased some more, causing us to blush furiously and look at each other, seemingly confirming...no. They couldn't. He was still in the hospital. after all.

"Oh, what does that look mean?" Rarity teased some more, making us both yell, "Please just leave!"

With that the group left, leaving Uni and Sunset alone in his room. Th-e two looked at each other, blushed again, and smiled.

A few weeks after the incident occurred, Uni was discharged from the hospital. He was brought back to school long after the day began because he still had to rest.

He was brought to school during lunch time by Principal Celestia herself, and after receiving a loving hug and a "Be careful" from her, he sat down next to his friends.

Principal Celestia always did things like this for her students when it was needed, and she loved being a part of their lives and helping them out. She considered it a part of her job as an educator.

When Uni sat down at the table, all the girls looked at him with faces of pity.

"What is it, girls?" He asked, confused.

Neither girl responded. They only shook their heads and patted his shoulders.

He looked around expecting to get an answer that could satisfy his confusion, and the answer he found was not what he expected.

Everyone was glaring at him while eating, especially the other girls in the cafeteria.

He turned around, dejected.

Twilight tried to console him. "I'm sorry, Uni, I..."

He interrupted her and said, "It's fine, Twilight. I'm fine. It's to be expected after all. I did ruin the Fall Formal for everyone. It's only natural they would all hate me."

Twilight looked down, saddened by her friends suffering.

After the tense lunchtime event, the group went to class. It was very hard to focus given the situation with the students however, and Uni ended up falling asleep.

He found himself in his mind again, but this time he wasn't in a cage. He was free. But what awaited him there was not a voice. This...was a figure.

A triangle shaped figure with arms and legs. It was hidden in the shadow, so he could not see it's face. Nor did he know if it had one.

'So, are you awake now?'

Uni did not answer as he was trying to figure out who this was. 'I was already awake.'

'Is that so? Do you know who I am?'

'No I do not.'

'Oh really? Guess i'm not that popular. I am Bill Cypher! I am the one who took over your mind at the dance.'

'It was you!!'

Uni ran towards the shadow to attack it, but it disappeared, reappearing to the side of him.

'Whoa there, you! Watch what you're doing, ya know?' The figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself to be a one eyed triangular being, as Uni had thought in terms of his shape.

'I'm gonna make you regret using me for your own selfish gains.'

'I'm sorry, but no. I have much more important things to do than entertain a useless meat sack like you. I'm going to use your body to destroy this world and turn it into a perfect place for the weird and the crazy!'

'You monster!'

'I'm not a monster, i am a god!' With that he floated away, back into the shadow. 'I will over take you one day, and I will take over the world!'

With that he woke up and looked around, seeing his friends looking at him with sad faces once more.

The day went by with relative ease after that, but then something strange happened. When he met up with his friends near the mascot statue, they were all looking at the portal.

Sunset looked back to see him. She gestured for him to come over to her. When he did she said, "Twilight came up with a plan. You said you were from Equestria right? Twilight thinks we should go there to find out what's wrong."

He merely nodded in understanding.

"I already sent a letter to princess Celestia. Twilight thinks that since you and I know about the place, we should go and see if we can resolve the problem."

"Right."

With that, and a few words of farewell from their friends, the two went through the portal.

Once they were through, they found themselves in Twilight's library.

"Where are we?" they both said at the same time.

"You're in my library!" said a voice out of nowhere.

The two of them looked around, searching for the voice.

"I'm over here, Sunset."

Sunset looked in the direction of the voice and found Twilight Sparkle, walking up to them.

"Hi Sunset. How are you?" Twilight said as she trotted up to them.

"I'm good, Twilight. Did you get my letter?"

"Yes I did. There's only one person in all of Equestria who could cause this much havoc at once."

The two looked at each other and said in perfect unison, "Discord."

At the mention of this "Discord's" name, Uni collapsed in pain as a headache overtook him.

Sunset and Twilight nearly jumped out of their skin when they saw this, and went to his side immediately.

"Are you alright?" Twilight said.

"Uni! No!" Sunset screamed worriedly.

Soon, Uni returned to normal, gaining a smile from both mares.

It was when he sat up that he realized that something was...off, about his body. He felt...different.

He opened his eyes to see that he had paws and claws instead of hands, and he felt horns on his head and a tail.

Twilight and Sunset had seen him as well, and were now on the defensive.

"Discord! We thought it was you!"

Uni had no idea what they were talking about. Who was this discord? And why did he apparently look like him?

"No! Wait! I'm not Discord! I don't even know who that is!" He tried to plead with them.

"Yeah, right! We can see you, you know?" Twilight said.

"Wait no, please! I swear I don't know who that is!"

Sunset put a hoof to her chin in thought, and suddenly had a thought.

"Wait...Twilight. I think he's telling the truth."

"What? How could you possibly believe him? It's Discord!"

"Are you sure it's him? Couldn't he just be another Draconequus?"

"Discord is the only Draconequus in Equestria!"

"Do we know that for sure?"

Twilight stopped. Sunset had a point. "Okay, I understand." She looked at Uni. "Sorry for not trusting you."

"It's fine. I did just transform into the person you were saying hurt you. kinda."

With that, the two made their way through Ponyville, looking for Discord. When they didn't find him there, they expanded their search and looked in the everfree, where they found him looking at his reflection in a lake.

Twilight spoke up. "Discord!"

Discord's ears shot up at the sound and he turned around. "Ah, Twilight. How wonderful! Have you come to bask in my beauty as well?"

"No! I've come to get you to stop causing trouble in the human world!"

Discord stood up straight and could now see all the others who were with Twilight.

He looked at Sunset. "Well, if it isn't Sunset Shimmer. I haven't seen you since you left Equestria. Why the sudden return?"

Sunset glared at him. "I've had a change of heart. Twilight helped me to see the error of our ways."

Discord smiled. "Really? That's just great. Although I did love the commotion you caused when you stole her crown."

He looked at Uni "And what about you, son? Are you doing okay?"

"Don't ignore me!" Twilight yelled, gaining the attention of everyone present. "Stop your evil ways! And did you just say, 'son'? "

"I assure you Twilight. I haven't done anything that could be considered 'evil' since I was reformed. And yes, I did say son. That draconequus there," He pointed to Uni. "Is my son."

Everyone simply stared at Uni with surprised expressions.

"You're his son!" Twilight and Sunset said in unison.

"Well, technically he's just a clone of myself, but I love him none the less."

"Explain yourself, Discord!" yelled Twilight.

"Very well, if you insist. But sit down, this might get long." He conjured up a movie chair and projector to which Twilgiht simply rolled her eyes and waited.

"It all started when..."

"Just tell us what happened!" Twilight cut him off.

The movie items disappeared. "Okay, Okay fine. Though to be fair you did say to explain 'myself'."

"I meant the reason behind this."

"Yes, yes, I know. I simply wanted to make it dramatic is all."

The two mares rolled their eyes at him together and waited for the story. The 'real' story.

"A few months ago, I was walking in he everfree. Just taking a walk you know. When out of nowhere I found the mirror pool. All of a sudden an absolutely devious plot came to mind. I thought, 'What if I made a clone of myself? Then ther e would be even more chaos!' So i stepped into the pool and cloned myself once. But then something happened."

Everyone had been listening. And Twilight admittedly, was interested in the story.

My clone was defective. It must have been due to my chaos powers, but when the clone came out, it may have been an exact copy of me physically, but it had it's own personality. I brought it to the human world to see how much chaos it could cause there, but I never expected it to get this out of hand."

"Wait. So you 'knew' about him?" cried Sunset, who was literally crying when she heard that.

"I am a god, Sunset Shimmer. it is child's play for me to observe other worlds."

Sunset shimmer nearly buckled over she was crying so hard. Uni knelt beside her to comfort her.

"Wait. You said you never expected this to get out of hand. Does that meant that you didn't cause the incidents?"

"I only caused the first one. But even then I did not mean for it to go out of control like that."

"So, someone else caused the magic explosions?"

Suddenly a different voice could be heard. Everypony turned to look towards the sound, only to find a triangular figure floating above their heads.

"What is that?" said Sunset Shimmer.

"Um...I think you mean 'who' is that. I, am Bill Cypher. I'm a god, just like you." He pointed to Discord.

Discord glared at him. "You interfered with my chaos."

Bill laughed. "Chaos? Chaos? You wouldn't know chaos if it bit you in the tail." Once he said that, a beast came over and bit off Discord's tail causing him to scream and regrow his tail using his magic.

"What are you, you monster?" shouted Twilight.

"Boy this ones not very bright is she?" he poked her nose. "I already told you, I'm a god. And i'm here to spread 'real' chaos to this world, not some silly practical jokes."

Discord was not amused. His chaos skills were being mocked and he didn't like it.

"Excuse me? And what can you do?"

"Here, i'll give you a demonstration. Hold onto something!"

The four equestrians were puzzled at the statement, but did as he said. Then they watched as he snapped his fingers, only for nothing to happen.

Discord scoffed and said, "My, how 'chaotic'."

But Bill wasn't done. "Oh it's there. Look below you."

Everpony did as he said, and what they saw, terrified them. The grass of the forest had become a giant gaping mouth that was waiting patiently for them to let go of their anchors so that it could swallow them up in it's huge gaping maw.

Just as quickly as it had appeared, it disappeared and everyone looked back up at him as he said, "Get it now? Now, Unfortunately for you, you idiots stopped my plan just a bit, so now I have to do all the dirty work myself."

He snapped his fingers, and in seconds, Equestria was flipped upside down, the Everfree came to life, the earth cracked and crumbled, the sky turned red, and a portal opened up in the sky, releasing thousands upon thousands upon thousands of monsters.

What followed this was of course a battle, and after a few words form each of the Equestrians, the fight began, Twilight using her alicorn magic, Sunset using her friendship magc, and Discord using his chaos magic.

At the finale of said battle, Bill was eventually driven away by the unlikely team, and Equestria returned to normal. Bill left with a single message, saying,

"Remember, reality is a lie, the universe is a hologram, bye world bye!"

The group looked at each other with confused expressions as they contemplated his words.

Sunset spoke up first. "Um...what was that?"

Twilight was next to speak. "I have no idea."

Next, was Uni. "I don't either, and I don't think I want to."

Lastly it was Discord's turn. "Indeed."

What followed that was a few jokes and pranks, and a lot of farewells as Sunset and Uni returned to their friends.

Once they were there they confirmed that the mission was complete, and all of them went their separate ways, as it had gotten late on the other side.

This was a happy ending for all. But a sinister force still lurked somewhere in Uni's mind, waiting for the day when it could rise again.

'Ahahahaha! Ahahahahahaha!'
