Chapter Six: Chaos Comes

After the celebration was finally done they decided to stay in Ponyville for up to one year only, after all, things weren’t seeming so much boring anymore either now at the very least. And eventually things did gradually become more interesting to all of them and therefore they wanted to stay. But nothing in the whole entire world could ever prepare them for the coming of Discord either.

Axel and Leo had gotten to know Miss Cheerilee and the school students very well and decided to go along on their trip with the other students, Starlight while now being too old to be a student was there to make sure they didn’t get into any kind or sort of trouble. Miss Cheerilee did her whole entire speech about the statue of Discord while the three of them just watched with silence instead.

“I never imagined that a representation of chaos could ever possibly look like this, I mean personally I always thought art was chaotic enough sometimes instead, but I guess that I was somehow slightly wrong just a tiny little bit.”

“Hey, don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to express creativity and chaos, building and making statues is just one of many” Starlight said.

“Yeah, I guess that you’re right,” Leo said as they all started to slowly walk away from the statue not even ever noticing the crack that started to form in it.

They went home after the field trip tour was finally done and finished with…

But then they eventually discovered the storm clouds gathered around together in the sky finally enough. “What’s going on over there exactly? It’s not supposed to rain today, it’s not on the schedule,” Starlight said very slightly worried.

“Ah don’t even worry about it, even back on my world the weather wasn’t always right, and even if you do have magic sometimes you can’t help just a tiny little bit of chaos into your lives, after all, what fun is there in being normal and ordinary and regular and making sense when you can be different just like we are?” Axel said stretching out his wings and groaning very slightly.

“Yeah, I guess that you’re right, but still, this isn’t supposed to be happening.”

“Oh, but don’t you know that chaos only comes when you never call?”

“Wait, who was that exactly?” Starlight said very panicked now then.

“Oh, you know, just your neighborhood friendly Discord the spirit of chaos.”

And with that said suddenly Discord popped up, but it didn’t look like as if he was trapped inside that stone statue, not anymore at least. “Ah, it’s so good to finally get the chance and opportunity to stretch out my bones if you know what I mean, because being in that stone statue, it does stuff to your back and body.”

“Discord? But how though?” Starlight said very confused.

“Well the Elements of Harmony aren’t connected to the princesses anymore and all that I needed was just a tiny little bit of chaos spirit to set me free, and guess what, the squabbling of three young little tiny fillies was just right enough for me to finally be free, and now that I am I’m going to spread chaos all around the whole entire land and place, and no pony else will be able to stop me either.”

“I’m sure that Twilight and her friends will be able to stop you once they finally get their hooves on the Elements of Harmony you know,” Starlight said.

“Oh, that? I sent them on an endless goose chase for that, but the answer is really quite simple, but no, instead Twilight Sparkle has to overcomplicate everything and just anything at all too as well, it’s very annoying indeed.”

“Why did you come over here to us for then exactly?” she said.

“Because I was bored with Twilight and her friends of course, duh.”

“And are you ever going to go back to them again or not instead?”

“I might go back, especially if one of them needs help, but trust me, I think they’ll be more than fine enough getting along together now, or rather not because guess what, I managed to finally separate the Elements of Harmony and friendship, and if I can do that then I can really truly do anything at all, anyhow goodbye Starlight and friends, until next time that I will see you all.”

And with that said suddenly he vanished away. “Where did he go?”

“Far away if I were to guess, but boys, we can’t do anything to stop him, he’s the spirit and embodiment of chaos itself, how do you ever expect to defeat him?”

“I don’t know, but he doesn’t seem very friendly and nice or kind and generous either, and too much chaos, well that’s just a very bad thing indeed.”

“Yeah, I already know that, thanks for pointing that out.”

“Hey look, this is a situation that none of us ever could possibly see happening, but for right now we will just need to stick together very close, okay then?”

“Alright fine, very well then, whatever you say.”

And with that said they waited for Starlight so speak up again.

“So then, do you mind telling us what the plan is exactly, please?”

“No, because I haven’t thought up of it just yet, okay then, just give me some time, please,” she said trying to concentrate and focus.

“I just can’t think of anything,” she said now then. “And you won’t have to darling, not when chaos is around to help you out,” Discord said suddenly popping out a random various dimensional door and a rift in time and space.

“Well hello there again, I changed my mind and decided that I would much rather have fun with you, now then, onto far more important pressing matters.”

He snapped his claws and suddenly they were in a house none of them had ever seen or been in before either as well too. “Where are we right now?”

“Where you’re right at the moment here exactly doesn’t really matter anymore, what really does truly matter is that you must succeed in my games.”

“Well are there any rules about this game that we should know?”

Discord smiled, “Yes, no wings and also no magic too as well.”

“How are we ever supposed to do that?” she said. “Allow me,” Discord said as he suddenly took away Starlight’s horn and Axel’s wings. “There, this should allow very fair equal opportunities and chances to each and every player here.”

“But this is just bad, why do we all have to be equal, why?”

“You’re the one to talk and ask, in another universe you make every pony else equal, you’re just lucky that you have Axel and not anything else that could be much worse than he is,” Discord said smiling now then.

“What do you mean by that though exactly?”

“You’ll never know, anyhow, good luck in the maze, see you in the middle.”

And with that said he suddenly vanished far away from all of them.

“Well that’s just great, what will we do now?”

“We fight,” Starlight said,” That’s all that we can do.”

And with that said they decided to slowly explore the house together.

“What do you think Discord has planned for us?”

“Probably nothing he’s the lord and spirit of chaos, he doesn’t have any plans.”

“Are you so sure about that? Because I would think that he does.”

“Axel, just relax, he’s just something that wants to have a little bit of fun,”

“What do you mean by that exactly?”

“Well, I think that’s a question better answered by Discord himself instead.”

And with that said they slowly went on through the whole entire big huge house that was a maze, or at the very least, served as one for its purpose instead.

“What do you think he wants with us exactly?” Axel said.

“Oh, you know, just to have some fun, that’s all,” Discord said from within the walls of the house. “Why don’t you come on out here and show yourself coward?”

“Oh, Starlight Glimmer, how naïve you must truly be if you would really think that I should ever stoop to such low challenges, are you really that dumb and stupid or are you just trying to annoy me and get me very mad instead?”

“I’m not doing either of those things, I’m just being curious.”

“Well to be quite frank and honest here, you’re going to start annoying me very soon if you don’t play my game, no matter how silly or stupid you may think that it is, and if you don’t then you’ll all lose and I’ll win and chaos will be spread everywhere,” he said. “Well how do we win though exactly?” she said.

“You’re up against chaos darling, even if you win this game there’s no possible way that you could ever beat me, because in the end, chaos will always win.”

And with that said suddenly their whole entire world, or at the very least, their house, turned upside down, literally. The pictures all tilted to the left or right, the stairways went nowhere, and suddenly instead of just being a plain old brown and black house with normal regular colors it was as if an artist got in and made the whole entire scene multicolored and chaotic as they ever possibly could.

“What the-?” Starlight said. “Just don’t ask, please just don’t.”

“What the hell is happening right now?” Leo said.

“It’s very simple, it’s just chaos, that’s all that it is really,” Discord said.

Suddenly pink cotton candy clouds appeared out of nowhere and chocolate milk started to pour out of it. The house turned into gingerbread that gave off very thick waves of smell throughout the air. The stairs turned into dry pasta, and columns turned into very dry spaghetti, wherever they stepped on it, it then cracked and very slightly crumpled like dry frosted flakes of cereal. “Oh, I’m having so much fun, I just wish that it could never ever end,” Discord said very gleefully. “Oh my gosh, I don’t know what’s happening here or why either.”

“No pony else does either, Starlight, because that’s just the way that I like it, chaotic, because what fun is it to ever make any kind or sort of sense?”

“Why are you still doing this to us anymore?”

“Because it’s just fun!” he said. “Twilight and her friends will defeat you.”

“Ah, don’t be so sure about that, friendship can break easily enough too you know, nothing lasts forever, and in the end, I will always win no matter what you try to do, or how hard you try to do it either instead,” he said. “But we still will try, and it doesn’t matter if it’s their friendship or not, because it can be ours instead, because there is one thing that you don’t and never ever will understand either, and that is the power of friendship!” she said. And then suddenly he laughed as Starlight heard the voices of Twilight Sparkle and all of her friends too as well. She watched as they defeated Discord and imprisoned him in stone.

Afterwards everything slowly eventually returned to normal and Starlight finally had some time to contemplate everything that she had seen before. “Guys,” she said, “I think that it’s about time that we go back to or old home town and visit.”

“That’s fine with me, it’s about time that I get some flying done anyways.”

“I don’t mind that,” Leo said, and with that it was finally decided.

Eventually the day eventually finally came and then they left.
