It’s just past noon, the sun was hot and beating down on the skyscrapers of the city of Austin, Texas. Everyone was going about doing their own thing. Going to work, or going somewhere to escape the heat of the brutal summer. One of these people who was hard at work was a young man named Malakai Ryder. A mechanic and motorcycle junky fresh out of high school. The sound of old school rock playing over the stereo system as he worked on one of the bikes that one of his fellow gang members had paid him to fix. He was deep in his work, the only thing that he could really here was the music that helped him concentrate That is until someone came in and called out his name.

“Malakai! You there, brother?!”

Malakai blinks a few times and comes up from the side of the bike and sees that it was the same guys whose bike he was working on. He walks over to him and shakes his hand with a firm grip.

“Ah, good to see you again, Brian. She is ready to hit the road again. And it’s a good thing that you brought her in. Your brakes were about to go out. That could have spelled trouble for you.”

Malakai’s accent was slightly texan, sometimes you could hear it in his voice, sometimes not. His voice was deep and raspy, indicating he was indeed growing up quickly. Brian nodded and walked over to his bike. Even more impressed that he took out a few scratches and dents even without being asked to do so.

“Wow...she is looking like the day I first got her. You didn’t have to do all that.”

“Naah, it’s no trouble. It gave me something to do after all. You know how I am when it comes to bikes.”

Brian then switches his gaze over to Malakai’s bike. Nodding in agreement when he saw the black motorbike that had a deep gray metal skull that the front of the bike, the eyes being the light source and the metal rib cage that rested over the gas tank and the custom wheels. It really suited a man like Malakai, considering when he wasn’t working, he had a skull painted on his face when he rode with the gang on their long road trips. Brian then remembered why he had come to see Malakai in the first place. And then reached into his coat, pulling out a large well-wrapped package of cocaine.

“The boss has asked you to deliver this in Bassdrop to his son. He said he could only entrust this to you since you don’t really have a police record. Which is amazing really. I guess that is one of the reasons why we call you Ghost.”

Malakai finished washing his hands at the sink and dried his hands off with a nearby towel. He looks at the brick of drugs and nodded.

“That’s right, it is the big man’s son’s birthday today isn’t it?”

“Yep, and he wants you to go there and have a good time as well. You have been doing such a good job around here lately, he feels you have deserved some time off.”

Malakai laughed lightly and took the cocaine and slid it in his own leather jacket after putting it on along with his desert scarf.

“As fun as that sounds, you know how i feel about drugs and all that. But I suppose I could cause a bit of chaos on the way. Club a few mailboxes, smash some car windows, make people’s lives a bit harder so long as they don’t get hurt.”

Brian just laughed and patted Malakai’s shoulder.

“It’s amazing how you are able to stay in the gray so easily. Then again, bossman has a specific set of rules set aside for you. Nonetheless, it’s good to have someone like you working for us. Be safe out there, brother.”

--Later-

After having dropped off the package at it’s destination, Malakai stopped off at a local restaurant to get some food in his belly. However, it turns out that there we a few rival gang members in that same building and recognized him when they came in. They came up behind him with a wicked grin and crossed their arms as they surrounded him.

“Well well, look who we have here boys. The youngest of our rivals, here enjoying a nice dinner. And he is their mechanic too.”

“A little far from home, aren’t you, kid?”

Malakai sighed and sat his fork and knife down.And he was enjoying his stack of pancakes so much to. He gets up from his chair he was sitting at the bar top and looks up at the three large burly men before him.

Come on guys. In here isn’t really the best place to do this. This is neutral territory and you and I both know this. Plus the old woman who runs this place doesn’t need any issues here.”

They laugh and draw their knives. However, Malakai was quicker to react and grabbed the nearest salt shaker and took off the top, slinging it in an upward swing, landing it in all their eyes, causing unbearable pain to the men. He pulls his way through and leaps over tables and rushes out the door. He leaps onto his bike and starts it up. The engine roared like a demon from hell and he was off, a large dust cloud left behind as he made his way onto the road. As he was driving at near top speed, he could hear the sound of other bikes slowly catching up to him. He pulls his desert scarf up over his face to keep to dust and sand that was on the road from getting in his mouth and nose and kicks up the speed on his bike a bit higher. He knew it was the rival gang members trying to get close enough to him Soon enough he heard gunshots as they flew past his head. He knew that he needed to lose these assholes before he ended up dead.

“I may not have a gun with me, but I can still fuck your shit up, boys…”

He said as she lifted his left foot up and kicked one of the hidden levers on the side of his bike. This activated a small compartment in the back of his bike that spat out a black smoke dispenser that flowed behind him, effectively cutting off vision of him to the others that were behind him. And once that was done, he kicks the second lever, this time large metal barbs he had cut from barbed wire fall out onto the road. And just like that, he hears tires popping and the sound of metal crashing behind him.

“Don’t mess with someone who thinks outside the box, motherfuckers!”

He said as he continued to speed down the highway, giving them the middle finger as he rode off. Once he turned around to focus on the road, however. He was suddenly swallowed up by a strange light. It was a spectrum of many colors and he flew through the tunnel on his bike. He quickly comes to a stop, his tires screeching on a..nonexistent surface of sorts.

“What..the hell? Did someone at that party slip drugs in my drink? Take about a delayed reaction…”

The place he was now in was like he was standing above the clouds. The sky was lit like it was between the sun setting and night rising. He puts his kickstand down and gets off his bike after shutting it off..What the hell was going on here? He was beginning to think this whole entire day was a dream, as this couldn’t be real...right?

“You are a hard human to find, young Malakai. I have been trying to find the right time to bring you to my realm so that I may offer you something that you may enjoy.”

Said a warm, motherly voice that seemed to be all around him. And it made him feel just as warm. A white light appeared before him and a bipedal figure stepped out. She was tall, had white fur and an autumn red mane with magenta eyes. She was...part equine? What in the actual fuck?

“Uuuh...I am a little confused. Did I get slipped some acid or something and I am paying the price for it now?”

The mare giggled and shook her head.

“Oh no. I can assure you this is real. But I have brought you here because I am in need of someone that I can name as my master of chaos. You see, my daughters went a little overboard and destroyed my last one. So I figured I’d try something a bit more different. Grabbing a being from another realm entirely. I have been watching you Malakai. And you seem to maintain a balance of...I believe the term is being chaotic neutral. You aren’t exactly good, but you are far from bad as well. So then, I have a proposition for you. You can either return to your world and live out your life, not remembering any of this or, you can become my new master of chaos and do whatever you wish. The power to very well rip the fabric of reality would be at your disposal. Would do you say?”

He was still thinking that this was part of some kind drug he was tripping on. So he just humored this whole crazy thing and shrugged, offering her a smile and shrug.

“Ah hell. Why not?it could be fun! I do like causing chaos...so long as I don’t bring real harm to others anyways.”

The mare clapped her hands together with a happy gasp and wrapped him up in her arms, holding him closely into a hug and nuzzled him gently.

Whoa...she is so soft and warm...she smells REALLY good.This can’t be real…

“Excellent! I had a talk with my daughters about this and they knew they did wrong. So don’t you worry. Just maintain the balance and you will be a..hmm..I believe your kind call beings with great powers...gods? Yes, that’s right.”

She sets him back down and places a hand in front of him, a dark blue and purple stream flowing from her hand and into Malakai’s body. He was lifted into the air for a few moments as the stream swirled around him and into his chest. He then fell to his knees and onto his side. Before slowly sitting up and looking up at the mare once more.

“And done! Now then, off to Equestria you go, my young Malakai. Maintain the right amount of chaos in my world and all will be fine. I will check on you every now and then to see how you are doing.”

Equestria...why did that name sound so familiar to him? Before he could think on it any further though, he was then thrown into a state of sleep, his vision blurred and his eyes closed.

--Night Time, Canterlot Castle--

Princess Celestia was fast asleep in her bed, dressed in her usual revealing nightgown that hugged her body in all the right spots. Her eyes snapped open as she sat up in her bed with a sharp gasp. He sister having opened her door just as she had awakened.

“Sister! Did you feel it?!”

Asked Luna with a shocked and worried expression on her face. Celestia slowly nodding in return after getting out of her bed and rushing to the edge of her balcony.

“He is here Luna...and something tells me, he will not be like Discord. Equestria is going to be in for quite a new age of chaos…”

And she was right. For Malakai would indeed be a much different god of chaos than what they had seen previously...
