Chaos Theory

Sunset Shimmer groaned as she and Zyon walked down the halls. Why Celestia had stuck her on monkey duty today was beyond her. She had done nothing to deserve this level of punishment. "Hey Sunset, Sunset?" She glared at Celestia's son of three moons; he was beckoning her over to his side near one of the windows over looking the one of the palace gardens. She kept the glare on him as she walked over. Zyon didn't mind to him that was how she always looked.

"What?" she demanded as she looked out at the garden filled with rich aristaponies and families. There were even a few of the poor schools that were having their annual field trip into the gardens. "It's just another basic day in the gardens."

"True but do you see that mare over there the one next to Fancy Pants?" He asked pointing one of his fingers at the white unicorn mare that was standing next to the aristapony. "Fleur. Fancy Pant's arrogant sister." He stuck his tongue out at her. "She's a big fat stupid meanie head. She made fun of me last week and you yesterday, and now I shall have revenge."

"And how are you going to get your revenge?" She made fun of me. Sunset would be sure to have a word with the stuck up little horn head.

"With my magic of course." Zyon answered Sunset showed great restraint not face hoofing. She moved talking to Fluer down on her list and talking to Celestia about indulging the monkey's belief that he could use magic to an ASAP assignment. It would have to wait until after she got back from her trip to her school though. "Oh and what are you going to do?" Sunset asked with a smirk.

"I'm going to turn her cutie mark in to a big ugly dumb fat head." Sunset rolled her eyes. "Right about now." He snapped his fingers. Sunset gasped in shock as Fancy Pants started to panic in the garden Fluer so joined him. Magic like that was impossible not even Celestia could change a pony's cutie mark.

"I'll admit I'm a bit impressed." She looked down at Zyon, whose smile nearly took up his entire face at her praise. "What else can you do?"

"I can do anything." She raised an eyebrow. All magic had rules, and as Celestia's personal student it was her responciblity to find out what the rules were to this new magic. A magic that could be used to change even a pony's cutie mark. A magic that could finally take her up to the next level.

"Really care to test that?"

"Sure."

"Okay let's see can you take away Fluer Dit Lis's horn?" Sunset asked, Zyon smirked and not looking away from his one and only friend snapped his fingers again. The panic in the gardens increased ten fold as Fluer Dit Lis's horn vanished from the top of her head. Sunset smiled that will teach her to mock me. "Let's get a better view." Zyon smiled and snapped his fingers again and the two of them were resting on a pink cloud as they watched the show. "Uh what is this stuff?"

"Cotton Candy," Zyon said as he pulled off a small part of the cloud and popped it into his mouth. "So what should I do next?" He chewed the cotton candy for a while as he watched the panic rise in the garden.

"Hmm, I have an idea," she said as she glared down at Fancy Pants who was trying desperately to calm his sister down. "Let's see if you can turn Fancy Pants in to a mare." She waited nothing. She looked over at Zyon who sat on the cloud pensively.

"But I like Fancy Pants, he's a nice guy."

"I just need to see what this new magic can do," Sunset answered. "And turning a stallion into a mare and visa versa is one of the hardest spells to preform, besides if you can do it one way you can just undo it when we're done, right no harm no foul." Zyon bit his lower lip as he thought about it for a second. Then he nodded, pointed his second finger at Fancy Pants, and covered his eyes with his other hand.

"Boom mare now," he said with just a twinge of regret. He winced as there were shrieks and screams rising from the crowd below. "You know that was really easy," he said after a moment.

"Alright try age regression and progression." Zyon looked at her blankly for a second. "Make some of one them a foal and the other on a geezer," she answered rolling her eyes.

"Oh okay." He snapped his fingers and over three dozen ponies became foals another three dozen, and another three dozen became old.

"Zyon what do you think your doing I said turn one of them into a foal and the other into a geezer not a quarter of the ponies in the park!" Sunset screamed at him.

"Oh relax would you. You wanted to see what chaos magic could do and I'm showing you, besides no pony got hurt so no harm no foul right," Zyon answered in a voice that wasn't his own. "Now about that thing you call a sky." He looked up. "I never liked that shade of blue it was always so boring." He snapped his fingers and the sky became pink with polka dots which changed colors between bright orange, purple, and neon green. "Ahh, much better."

"Zyon are you insane what do you think you're doing? Celestia is going to be pissed. Put everything back to the way it was right now!"

"Oh please you don't think I'll actually undo all of this chaos now that I'm nearly free do you, besides you didn't even say please." Zyon laughed. It was cold, a laugh Sunset never imagined. "And don't worry about Sunny Butt, you see that?" He pointed up to the sky. "I put that bubble up as soon as I got control, No one on the outside even knows what's happening."

"What are you talking about Zyon?"

"Oh would you please stop calling me that, I am Discord Lord of Chaos, Master of entropy, and three time runner up at The Go Fish Tournament of the Cosmos." Zyon said as more cotton candy clouds appeared and started pouring out chocolate milk rain. "And you shall address me as such."

"Your not Zyon?"

"Now you're getting it, you know for Celestia's personal student you sure do learn fast."

"Get out of him right now!" Sunset's horn flared.

"Make me." She shot the spell at him blasting him away. Zyon landed on a cotton candy cloud at the other end of the garden, she teleported over, doing her best to remain standing after her teleport. "That was and ethereal rejection spell. I know Celestia would never teach anypony that kind of magic."

"You were right about one thing, Discord was it. Celestia is to slow for me, so I've started to dabble and teach myself. Now get out of my friend." Zyon started to laugh again.

"You don't have any friends little unicorn and we both know that." Zyon snapped his fingers, and Sunset was sent flying into the ground. Which yielded like a trampoline and caused her to bounce several times before coming to a stop. The cotton candy cloud carried Zyon down just a few paces from Sunset.

"Give me back my friend."

"One quit kidding yourself. Two no one likes you, you're jerk and trust me I know a lot about being a jerk, and three." Zyon counted off his fingers. "Since you're so good at being a broken record I think it was a mistake that you were born a pony, but don't worry I can fix that." He snapped his fingers. Nothing happened. "Odd." He snapped them three times in quick succession. "One moment, I'll be right back."

"Sunset make it stop!" Zyon screamed holding his hands to his head. Sunset watched in horror as he continued screaming. Then just a suddenly he stopped.

"There we go much better now, where were we." He trailed off. "You've got to be kidding me." A rainbow wall slammed in to the chaos bubble, which shattered on contact. Undoing all of the things that had happened, and continued across the sky. Leaving Zyon unconscious. Sunset caught him in her magic before he hit the ground, and using one last spell teleported them to his room.

"Sunset, Zyon, I am very disappointed in the both of you for this," Celestia said as she watched the two of them. "What happened in the garden is completely unacceptable, and unbecoming of my student and my son."

"I'm sorry mom it's just."

"No I'm sorry Celestia don't be mad at him." Sunset cut Zyon off causing both to look at her in confusion. "I goaded Zyon on. It's just I wanted to learn more about this new type of magic." Celestia sighed.

"Well I hope the both of you leaned that this magic is not something to be played with. I wish I could sweep this under the rug, but I can't both of you go to your rooms I need time to figure out what to do." Both nodded and left. Sunset said good night to Zyon. She was glad that her room was on the other side of the palace now. She had found a new magic and thought it best not to practice it around him.
