In the Everfree Forest there lies a temple, the trees covering the rising sun as there are statues of what looks to be six ponies, all stallions from the looks of it with vines from the plants crawling onto them. A rustling of bushes are heard and an equine figure comes out wearing an exploration hat, this was Daring Do. She walked through the temple before seeing the statues and grins. "What amazing detail on these statues, it's almost as if these are actual ponies. I need to get them to Ponyville." She said in excitement. Her eyes soon widened as she saw an engraving on the statue of an Alicorn standing on it's hind legs. She moved the vines that covered the word and read it aloud.
"Insanity?" She asked confused on that one word as she looked at the other statues and saw engravings on all of them. She trotted over to one of a pegasus that looked like he was getting ready to attack and she got an angry vibe off of it as she went closer. She read over the word on it and got even more confused. "Hatred." She went over to one of a unicorn that was in a stance of it protecting something and saw another word. "Greed."
She walked over to one of an earth pony that was giving off a depressing vibe and was hanging his head low, "Depression." She looked again at them and went over to a statue of an earth pony that looked like it was talking, "Deceit." Finally she walked over to a statue of a pegasus that had it's head turned away as if wanting to leave. "Treachery." She read and got a confused look on her face as she looked at all of the statues again and left the temple and went to Ponyville to get a team that would move these statues into a museum.
(Three days later)
A new exhibit was being shown at the Ponyville museum showing the mysterious six statues and Twilight Sparkle the princess of friendship wanted to go see them. "Spike come on, the others are waiting." She said to her assistant/little brother Spike.
"Hang on Twilight, let me pack my gems for a snack." The young drake replied while eating a sapphire. Twilight rolled her eyes and smiled before opening the door to meet her friends. As she opened the door she came face-to-face with the element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash.
"Come on Twilight, the faster we get this boring trip over with, the faster I'll get back to reading Daring Do." She groaned. The rainbow maned pegasus was flying above her and look at the orange earth pony as she spoke.
"Even though ah respect yer need to learn Twilight, I don't like museums neither. I need ta get back ta work on the farm. It's applebuckin' season afterall." Applejack said.
"Well I for one cannot wait to see this new exhibit. The fashion of the past, the amazing gems that are found will give me more inspiration for my dresses." Rarity exclaimed as she smiled.
"Well, Pinkie and Fluttershy are already there, c'mon." Rainbow said flying off.
After a bit of walking through the town, they arrived at the museum to see Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy already there. "Hey Twilight." The Pink party pony said with her signature smile.
"Hey Pinkie, did you and Fluttershy already see the statues?" Twilight asked before Pinkie shook her head.
"Nope. Fluttershy and I just got here. I already Pinkie promised not to go inside until we all got here." She replied before looking at the shy yellow pegasus known as Fluttershy.
"That's right, I just got done feeding Angel and the other animals." Fluttershy spoke softly to her friends. She looked around before opening the front doors and letting them in.
As they walked in, they saw. All six statues, cleaned and polished as well as having the vines removed from them. But Twilight and the other elements felt an uneasy feeling as they got closer to the statues, especially from the alicorn statue. As if they were being glared at by said statues before Pinkie put her hoof to touch the sad looking one. "Awww this one looks sad. If this statue was alive, I would throw him a 'Cheering up the statue party.'" She said before a security guard pushed her hoof away.
"Sorry Pinkie, look only, no touching." The guard said before backing away from the statues and watching Pinkie like a hawk.
"Pinkie please don't touch the statues." Twilight deadpanned before observing the statues. "Hey girls, do you feel that too?" She asked her friends.
"You mean that sudden rush of negative emotions and that feeling of madness coming from these pony statues?" Rainbow asked.
"Yeah, that's it." Twilight replied.
"Then no, I don't feel anything." Rainbow smirked.
"Then why did you say anything?!" Twilight cried out in annoyance. Rainbow Dash just shrugged before flying to get a closer look at the statues. As she got closer she tapped the one of the pegasus in an attacking stance and was sent back along with everypony else by a sudden explosion.
"Is everypony ok?" Twilight asked getting up from the blast and coughing. "Rainbow Dash! What did you do?!" She yelled before hearing a deep growl. The growl sent shivers down everyone's spines as the smoke cleared to show the statue of the attacking pegasus destroyed and replaced by a red pegasus with blood red eyes, dark black and red hair and a cutie mark of a face with flames in it's eyes. He looked around before looking at the other statues. His eyes widened before he spoke in a deep growling voice that echoed.
"My brothers, we are free. Awaken from your prison." He said before touching the other statues resulting in more explosions. The ponies covered their eyes and shielded themselves from the explosions and opened their eyes as the smoke cleared once more. All the statues were gone and replaced with ponies. One earth pony was blue with a black mane and a cutie mark of a sad face. The unicorn was orange with a white mane and a cutie mark of a safe. The other pegasus was a maroon color with a dark red mane and a cutie mark of an X. The other earth pony was a complete white with a silver snake tongue as a cutie mark. But the one that made everyone nervous was the alicorn. His coat was black as coal with a silver colored mane, but what was most unsettling was his cutie mark as it was a straightjacket. They all looked around before the alicorn spoke in a soothing, but deep voice.
"Is everyone ok? Depression?" He asked.
"Here." Said the blue earth pony in a saddened tone.
"Hatred?"
"Here." Said the red pegasus.
"Greed?"
"Present." The orange unicorn spoke in a high voice. (Think of Skeletor)
"Deceit?"
"Not here." Said the white earth pony.
"Treachery?"
"I don't even know why I bother with all of you." The maroon pegasus spoke.
"Yep, we're all here. Oh wait, we forgot Insanity. Insanity?" He asked before cackling like a maniac, "Here."
The elements and other ponies stood there shocked before looking at Rainbow Dash with a glare. "Uhhh, oops?" She said sheepishly.

I'm back. My god it's been forever since I uploaded and posted a story. Sorry if I'm not as good as before, but don't worry, I'll get my touch back in time. Anyway, I hope your summer is going well and I will talk to you all later.
Introductions out of the way please.
The mane six were shocked. Not from the fact that these ponies came out of the statues, but from the fact that they seemed like complete opposites to what they were. The black alicorn observed the room they were in and immediately recognized the Elements of Harmony. "Look at this boys! The Elements of Harmony." Insanity said making the others look at their counterparts. "About time you actually showed up. Where were you when our master locked us up?" He said coming face to face with Twilight, who was getting worried.
"Insanity...ponies are staring at us...I don't like getting attention." Depression said before Hatred looked at him.
"Oh grow a pair you pansy. We just awakened from our prison in explosions. Of course ponies would stare at us." The pegasus stated before he looked directly at Fluttershy. "I don't know why, but you rub me the wrong way. Which element are you?" He asked getting closer to the yellow pegasus in a menacing tone.
"K-kindness." The yellow mare said in pure fear as she hid behind Twilight. Twilight had activated her magic and a purple aura engulfed her horn as she was ready to attack. Insanity saw this and got between the two and placed his hoofs on both of their chests to keep them apart. Hatred growled at Twilight who was glaring daggers at the red pegasus.
"Now now, let's not do something that we'll regret." The black alicorn said in a calm voice before going into a threatening tone as he glared at Hatred. "Brother, I know you're pissed, but please keep that anger of yours in check. You wouldn't want to make ME angry do you?" He said as he looked in Hatred's eyes with a wide grin.
Hatred looked at Insanity who had the widest grin with eyes that would make anypony cower before them. Hatred started to sweat a little before backing up and backing down. “No, brother.” He said with malice in his voice.
“Good, now that that’s out of the way, allow me to introduce myself and my brothers. I am Insanity. This red Pegasus here is Hatred, the blue one there is Depression, the orange one is Greed, the white one is Deceit, and the maroon one is Treachery. We are the Elements of Chaos, here to faithfully serve our master Discord.” Insanity then looked around and was finally aware of everything around him. “Wait a moment....why is everything here....perfectly normal and not crazy?”
Deceit trotted over to Insanity, “Maybe our Master has been defeated?” He whispered into the Alicorn’s ear.
“No no no. Our statues wouldn’t be around if he was in stone. This has to be an illusion. It just has to be. We know our master would never go into the side of order. Maybe he’s playing a joke on us.” Insanity started laughing a bit, with it being calm before going out of control. This started to scare the other ponies with the exception of the Elements of Chaos.
Treachery groaned and rolled his eyes before hitting Insanity in the back of the head to make him stop laughing. “Thanks Treachery.” Insanity said before looking at the Elements of Harmony again. “So tell us, what are your names and what element do you represent?”
Twilight looked at Insanity before speaking. “I’m Twilight Sparkle, and I’m the Element of Magic.” She then gestures to her friends. “Rainbow Dash the Element Of Loyalty, Rarity the Element Of Generosity, Fluttershy the Element Of Kindness, Applejack the Element Of Honesty, And Pinkie Pie the Element Of Laughter.” She introduced, still unnerved by the Alicorn.
“Ahh So tell us, were you created or born?” Greed asks them getting close to Twilight.
“Umm...born. Why?”
Greed’s smile turned into a frown. “Such a shame, I would’ve thought we would have at least one thing in common.”
Pinkie jumped in front of Greed and continued to jump with a smile on her face. “Well maybe we can find something we have in common. Do you like parties? I like parties!” She gasped as if she just realized something important. “Wait, you’re new to Ponyville, so that means....YOU GET A WELCOME PARTY!!!” She yelled in excitement surprising the Elements of Chaos before zooming out the door leaving an outline of her behind. Insanity grabbed the outline with his hoof and yelled out.
“You forgot your outline!” He said waving the outline around before Pinkie came back and grabbed it before going back out again. “She seems nice. Anyway, where is our Master? I think it would be appropriate to know where he is so we can meet him again.”
“Oh uhh, Discord lives with Fluttershy.” Applejack said getting a little bit uneasy. The elements of Chaos all smiled widely and trotted over to the museum entrance.
“Then we’ve got no time to lose!” Insanity said before opening the door so his brothers can leave. “You all coming?” He asked the remaining 5 elements who looked at each other nervously before nodding and going with them.
On their way the Chaos elements noticed something odd, the entire town was peaceful! They looked and saw the odd looks they got from the locals, but Insanity was getting the most attention for the fact that he was an Alicorn. “Guys, they are staring and the world isn’t weird....I don’t like it.” Depression stated before Deceit hugged him close for a moment.
“It’s okay brother, I don’t like it either.” He said before letting go. The walk then remained silent before Hatred yelled out in anger. “WHY IS IT SO PEACEFUL!” That startled everypony in the area.
“Calm down Hatred, I’m sure Master will explain everything to us when we arrive.” Treachery said to the red Pegasus before they eventually arrived at Fluttershy’s cottage. When they heard Discord’s laugh, the Chaos Elements got excited before Fluttershy opened the door to show the Draconnequs (AN: Don’t know how to spell that, someone help me please.) playing with her bunny Angel. Discord heard the door opened and his eyes were filled with happiness when seeing his friends, but his face soon turned to a face full of shock and horror when he saw the six stallions with them.
“Hello Master, so wonderful to see you again.” Treachery said to Discord before the Chaos Elements bowed before him.
“Depression, Treachery, Greed, Deceit, Hatred, Insanity.” Discord said the names with each name he had more fear in his voice. The five mares saw this and Fluttershy flew over to Discord.
“Discord, are you ok?” She asked before Discord snapped his talons and poofed into a room with all six Elements of Harmony. His breath was shaking and his body was trembling before he was on the floor.
“What have you done?” He asked them in complete fear as he stared at them. “You just doomed Equestria.”
