My Little Pony Friendship is Chaos
Fitting in
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter a few months of being in Equestria, Chaos had somewhat gotten to know most of the citizens in the small town and gotten the reputation of being called “the outsider”. Twilight and her friends were the only ones to know his real name.
Even after learning some of the culture in that world Chaos mostly kept to himself and stayed inside him new home. However, he stopped showing up to events and even to previously arranged “dates”. Twilight soon began to worry as he had not shown any signs of isolation. Convincing her friends to visit Chaos to see if he was alright.
Once they all agreed they headed into the woods and came upon his home torn apart with him nowhere to be seen. But soon after, they heard a deep growl coming further into the deep dark woods. The girls gathered up the courage to search on and found him shadow boxing and practicing martial arts. They also noticed his clothes torn up badly to the point of falling off. After he finished his workout, he noticed the girls watching him from a distance. He casually walked up to them and asked what they wanted.
“W-We were worried about you.” Rarity replied nervously.
“Really?” he responded surprised, “I didn’t think you’d guys care for me after the princesses saw that I’m not a threat to your species. Oh! And by the way, know that I’ll never get over the fact that I’m a human living in a world with sentient animals. Mostly ponies along with a few others animals.”
“You’re our friend Chaos.” Rainbow Dash replied, “Whether you like it or not, you are part of this group.”
“Now that is very flattering. It’s been ages since I’ve ever been a part of something. Much less have friends in the process. Thank you.”
“What happened to your house?” Twilight asked abruptly.
“Oh just some creatures from the woods messing up my home. I took care of them if you were wondering.” Chaos responded with a sadistic smile, “Anyways, I’ve finished my training for today. Is it just me or am I stronger than before? Could be that since I’m a different world the gravitational pull or something else is affecting my powers. Boosting them almost 5 times stronger then on earth.”
“Uhh. Chaos. Who are you talking to?” Applejack asked confused.
“I was talking to myself. I have a tenancy to do that. Sorry.”
As he prepared to head back, he got the strange feeling that something was wrong.
“Don’t move!” he exclaimed, “We’re being watched.”
Moments later, they all began looking everywhere to spot the stalker. Twilight managed to see a pair of green eyes in the distance then reappearing closer every time.
“Chaos, they’re timberwolfs.” She whispered.
“I knew it.” He replied, “They were the ones who destroyed my home. They’ll pay for their insolence.”
He then used his telekinetic abilities to drag one of the timberwolfs out from the shadows causing the others to reveal themselves.
“Stay behind me.” He told the girls, “This is between me and them.”
“But there are too many. You won’t survive!” Rarity exclaimed worried.
“Shattering expectations is what I do best.” He said as he ran towards the wolves. He jumped into the air and smashed the ground causing the ground nearby to crumble giving him the needed advantage.
Without hesitation, Chaos teared each timberwolf using only his hands. After the quick battle, Chaos stood on a pile of ripped apart limbs of the timberwolves. He then roared mimicking the Godzilla roar of Return of Godzilla astonishing Twilight and her friends. He then looked around to make sure none had left during the battle. At the very corner of his eye, he saw a sneaky timberwolf slowly creeping up onto the gang.
“Fluttershy, look out!” He shouted as he ran towards the beast. Just as the creature leaped towards her, Chaos barely managed to get in front of her and block the attack.
Unfortunately, he instead got attack and badly injured in the process. However, he didn’t go down without killing the creature first. Chaos smashed the creature into the ground several times before he tore its jaws off.
“And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you kill… whatever that thing is. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna take a nap now.” He collapsed onto the floor unconscious.
Once Chaos woke up, he found himself in the princess’s castle being attended by what looked like a nurse.
“Well, I’m official dead. Or I could’ve gone insane again which might make this scenario more realistic.”
“Fortunately, you are not dead.” Princess Celestia replied.
“Oh good.” He responded with a heavy sigh, “For a second there I was about burst into song and sing I feel good by James Brown or AC/DC Highway to Hell. Probably the second one.”
“Very well then. I heard that you saved twilight and her friends from a pack of timberwolves?”
“Is that what those things are called? And here I thought they would be named like Barkwolf or some stupid name. And to answer your question, yes I did. They were also the ones who destroyed my home.”
“I shall make arrangement for supplies to be given to you to rebuild your home.”
“Thank you. I appreciate it.”
“So tell me, how were you able to defeat these creatures without using any weapons or magic?”
“Well you see, in my world I was given abilities that others like me would only imagine. So due to these abilities, I was able to use some of them to not only defend against those creatures a day before but also in protecting the girls.”
“Can you tell me how you are able to heal yourself with no help of any kind?”
“That’s just my healing or regenerative factor. I can basically regenerate any limb and or internal organs damaged or destroyed.”
“That’s remarkable. Simply amazing.”
“Why thank you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to pay a visit to Rarity.” Chaos rose from the bed and prepared to leave.
“May I ask the reason for your visit?” Celestia asked curiously. “To make me some new clothes of course. You do see what am wearing right? A little more wear and tear and I’ll be naked.”
Chaos then went to the nearest window and prepared to jump off it.
“What are you doing?” Celestia asked confused.
“Uhhh. I’m jumping out the window. Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen. I’ve done this before. It’s fun.” He then jumped off and caught himself midway. He clumsily flew towards the village crashing right in front of Rarity’s home.
Hearing all the commotion outside, Rarity’s sister Sweetie Belle opened the door to see what was happening. However, to her surprise, she came face to face with Chaos. Terrified of him, she immediately closed the door and hid. Chaos knocked on the door several times until Rarity went to answer it.
“Don’t open it! Sweetie Belle exclaimed from her hiding place, “It’s the creature from the dark forest. I’ve heard terrible rumors about him.”
“Oh that preposterous. He’s actually friendly once you get to know him.” She opened the door and invited Chaos inside. “Come in. Come in. What can I do for you today?” She asked curiously.
“Well, I have come to ask you a favor.” He responded shyly. “Go on” She urged. “I wanted to know if you could make me some clothes.” Chaos replied, “The ones I have, have been rather old as you can see.”
“Of course I can dear. But it will take some time. You image is new to me and it’ll take time to find the right measurement for you.” She answered.
“Oh no take your time. I‘m in no rush at all. No problem at all.”
As Rarity took his measurements, Sweetie Belle slowly crept from her hiding place and walked closer and closer to him.
“Is it just me or am I seeing a little you, Rarity?” Chaos joked.
“Chaos, meet my little sister Sweetie Belle.”
“How do you do?” Sweetie Belle said as she did a small bow.
“Likewise. Now tell me something? Why does everyone here have strange names?” Chaos asked curiously.
“I wouldn’t be talking dear. At least we aren’t the one named Chaos.” Rarity replied.
“You know what Rarity…” He responded gruffly, “Your right. I got nothing. Absolutely nothing. She has me in box here.”
Seeing that Chaos wasn’t as scary or even as bad as ponies at her school made him out to be, Sweetie Belle realized that she had misjudged him and apologized for it.
“Don’t worry about it.” He told her, “You aren’t the first to judge me for my appearance.”
“Really?” She asked surprised, “Why do you say that?”
“Well… Don’t tell your sister but even she and her friends had their doubt about me. Not only that, but they also kinda feared me because their magic doesn’t really affect me. Like at all. Now I don’t mean Twilight’s magic I mean Princess Celestia’s magic.”
“Wow!”
“Remember, don’t tell your sister. She’s already has enough on her shoulders.”
“Tell me about it.”
“You done Rarity?! I have to help out Applejack with something at her farm.”
“Oh! Yes. I’m done. You’ll have your clothes soon enough.”
After leaving her home, Chaos then went towards Applejack’s farm to help out. There he also met her sister, Apple Bloom, who as helping Applejack pick the apples from the fields. Without warning, he struck the ground shaking the trees causing many of the apples to fall to the ground.
“What in tarnation is going on?!” She asked frantically.
“Well. Well. Well. What do we have here? More work for me? Yay.” Chaos said sarcastically.
“Should’ve know it was you Chaos.” Applejack replied.
“The one and only!” He shouted cheerfully.
“Aren’t you in a good mood today?”
“Ehh. I’ve always tried to see things from the positive perspective. And the way things are going for me now, why wouldn’t I be in a good mood. By the way, who’s the little rascal with you?”
“Be nice Chaos.”
“What?! You know I’m just kidding. Unless she’s a troublemaker then in that case I do actually mean it.”
“This is my sister Apple Bloom. Go ahead.” She told her sister.
“Howdy.” Chaos said trying to star up a conversation with her.
“Hi.” Apple Bloom responded shyly.
Realizing that she was still too shy to talk Chaos returned the favor by saying, “Well, that was an exciting conversation. Me saying “Howdy” and you with your “Hi”. We really got to know each other. We should talk more sometime and hopefully we can go past saying “Hi”.”
“In that case, I have a few things I need you to do.” Applejack interrupted.
“Just tell me what you need chief and I’ll do it.”
After he finished up his work in the farm, Chaos begun to head home when Apple Bloom stopped him to apologized.
“Look kid, I know that I seem terrifying to you but it’s not what’s on the outside that matters it’s what’s on the inside. As I’ve said this before, strangely enough the same day as well, you’re aren’t the first one to misjudge me just because I’m different. Even Princess Celestia and the other one, I forget her name. Ah yes. And Princess Luna misjudged for because of my appearance. So comes to show you that even the most noble of you can be lead to judge before you even can get to know them.” He then left and headed towards his temporary home.
Few days later, Chaos crashed down onto the school Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went to causing a widespread panic among the students and kids. Confused by the commotion, Chaos tried to calm everyone down but to no avail. Eventually, he bumped into Apple Bloom hiding from the rest of her classmates.
“Apple Bloom. What the hell are you doing all the way out here?” He asked surprised.
“Hiding.” She responded.
“Why? Tell me who they are I’ll rough’em up so bad they won’t come to school anymore. Also they'll find their body dumped in a lake or river or whatever.”
“No! No. It’s nothing like that. Before you arrived, these fillies, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon got their cutie marks and…”
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Cutie mark? What’s that? You mean those symbols that Twilight and her friends have on the side of their asses?”
“Cutie marks are obtained when ponies discover a unique characteristic that sets themselves apart from others.”
“Interesting. Strange but yet fascinating.”
“Yeah. They were in the middle of a cute-ceañera.”
“A what!?”
“A cute-ceañera. It is celebrated by those who have recently gotten their cutie marks. You crashing down actually ruined the event.”
“Awesome. By the way, don’t you mean a quinceañera? You know, a celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday in parts of Latin America. If you’re wondering where that is? Just know that it’s a non-specific place in my world.”
“I’ve tried everything and I still have no cutie mark. Everyone has tried helping me, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack. Nothing.”
“Look, from what I know and heard of these symbols, everyone gets them eventually. Obviously I’m not going to get one but you will. And believe me, I know at least one more fully that is a “blank”. Let’s go back to the party and try to have a good time. Besides, I need a distraction.”
Apple Bloom returned to the party with Chaos by her side, but he quickly disappeared once she entered, leaving her exposed. The two follies found Apple Bloom and began to mock her once more for being a blank flank.
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” Chaos exclaimed from a distance, “Look! I’m a girl that just got their symbol thing, I'd rather be anywhere than here! I'm all about long sullen silences, followed by mean comments, followed by more silence! So what's it gonna be, long sullen silence, or mean comment? Go on, take your pick.”
“...You got us both in a box here.” Both of them replied.
“AH-HAA! And what makes both of you so special might I ask? You do realize that your names are your what do you call those again?”
“Cutie marks.” Apple Bloom replied shyly.
“Ah yes. Cutie marks. Your cutie marks are literally your names. Does anyone here find that odd?! No? Good. Because I’m going to explain to you why. First, if I’m right about this mythos surrounding the so called cutie mark, then it appears when the pony discovers what makes him or her special right? Then what makes you special then? Do they represent something? Do they mean something literal? Now that I think about it. You, with the tiara. What’s your name?”
“Diamond Tiara.” The folly answered terrified.
“Isn’t your father called Filthy Rich?”
“Y-Yes.”
“You see. That is my point right there. Your cutie mark most likely represents something to do with wealth. That also includes you Sliver Spoon. Now you Apple Bloom’s teacher, the one with the trio of smiling flowers. What’s your name?”
“Cheerilee.” The pony answered.
“ Now obviously your cutie mark doesn’t have a physical or literal meaning right?”
“Correct.”
“And from what I think, you’re cutie mark represents your wish for your students to bloom and learn cheerfully or something similar to that correct?”
“Exactly.”
“Now tell me something, do you think Sliver Spoon and Diamond Tiara’s cutie mark represents something similar to your cutie mark or do you think it has something to do with materialism and or economic wealth?”
“Honestly, I’d have to say something along side with economic wealth.” Cheerilee responded.
“Exactly. The plain fact is that this world or any world, including mine, doesn’t need more successful people. But it desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people, or ponies in this case, who live well in their places. It needs people or ponies of moral courage, willing to join the fight even when all odds are against them, to make the world more habitable and humane. And these needs have very little to do with the success as yours, mine or any culture has defined it.”
“Yeah.” A voice said from under a table, “You got a problem with blank flanks?”
“The problem is, I mean, she's like, totally not special.” Sliver Spoon responded.
“No, it means she's full of potential.” Sweetie Belle also answered from under the table, “Hey Chaos.”
“What’s cracking?” he said in silly voice.
“It means she could be great at anything. The possibilities are, like, endless.” Scootaloo continued.
“She could be a great scientist, or an amazing artist, or a famous writer. She could even be mayor of Ponyville someday.”
“Exactly.” Chaos intervened, “The ponies that are “blank flanks” have the potential to become anything they desire. While the ones who already have them don’t get to have that opportunity anymore.”
“…and she's not stuck being stuck-up like you two.” Scootaloo finished saying.
“My work is done here.” Chaos said out loud, “Can someone please give me a piece of cake so I can be on my way!”
Soon after, Apple Bloom ran up to him and gave him the piece of cake that he wanted.
“Thank you.” Chaos replied as he left the party.
Sweetie Belle stopped him before he completely had left from sight and thanked him for helping her new friend.
“Don’t mentioned it. If they ever give you any more trouble, tell me. I’ll tell them off before they can do anything about it.” Chaos responded with a smile.
He then left and wasn’t seen for the rest of that day until way later that night when Twilight Sparkle paid him a visit. “It’s admirable what you did for the girls. I’m sure they’re going to remember that day for a long time.”
“It’s the least I could do. Besides, they were extremely annoying. Someone had to put them in their place.” Chaos responded.
“Sure.” Twilight replied as she rolled her eyes and left.
That same night, Twilight wrote in her friendship report of how Chaos inadvertently created the Cutie Mark Crusaders and how his personality had slowly changed over the course of time since his arrival.
However back in Chaos’ temporary home, he had begun to feel a strange yet slight burning sensation in his chest and shoulders. Immediately after, the pain became so unbearable that it caused him to fall down onto the floor screaming with agony. He managed to get up and run towards the nearest pond to stop the burning. Not really paying attention to the pain after dunking himself in the pond, three symbols were embedded into his skin as if he were being branded.
