A Demon's Deal

It had been days since the disappearance of dozens of ponies in Ponyville. The Equestria Daily newspaper was abuzz with stories titled “Princesses apprentice not seen in days. Princess refuses to talk to anyone.”, and “A week without night, will the strike continue?”

Some ponies thought the end was nigh and world would burn. Some sought shelter while other ponies prayed for things to return to the way it used to be. Without proper leadership the ponies were thrown into complete chaos. Night had not come in a week and everypony was tired and aggravated.

Ponies were fighting in the street and the royal guard could not help contain the uprising. Pony-ville was tearing itself apart. Stores and homes were broken into and valuables stolen. After the second week ponies marched toward the princess castle and demanded she come out.

The guard told them that both princess had disappeared. But the ponies refused to believe that their great leaders would ever be taken from them. The ponies stormed the castle gates and began to destroy the only thing between them and sweet revenge.

===========================================================================

“Ha, look at those feeble ponies running around. They haven't had leadership for little over two weeks and they are driven to complete madness and anarchy. I love this plan o yours.” said the draconequus giddily.

“You are such an idiot Discord, you wouldn't have captured either of the princesses without me, The Great and Powerful Trixie!” The light blue unicorn barked.

“You are not that great and powerful you know. I’m, in a word, a god and you are nothing but a simple unicorn.” Said discord distastefully.

“What are you talking about! You don't have my brains you big dragon..... bird.... lion.... goat thing.... now that I think of it what in the world are you?”

“ WHAT!!! Had I been away so long nobody can remember what I am!..... Wait that's right you silly ponies were not alive when I first came and started my little world of chaos. I, you ill informed pony, am a draconequus and a proud one at that.” He politely informed the unicorn. “Hey could scratch my back? I just cant seem to reach this god forsaken spot.”

“Can you stay serious for one hour! If anypony catches on that we are behind the disappearances in the town we are in major trouble!” yelled Trixie angrily.

“Maybe for you but I am well and safe. I can teleport and make doubles of myself. My powers are nigh endless.” he chuckled.

“Both of you quiet down.” said princess Luna as she opened the door with authority. “We have a lot to talk about and not much time to talk about it. I can't hold the princesses forever my power does have limits. Now please take a seat around the table.” She gestured to a large round table in the middle of the room.

“Why are you still in that ridiculous get up Chrysalis?” asked Trixie.

“I hadn't noticed really. I rarely use my real form these days.” Her horn lights ablaze and a ring of green fire forms around her. A light slowly generates from from her horn until no one in the room can bear to look in her direction. The light slowly dies down and she is back in her original form. She is black like the other changelings and has holes in her wings and hoofs. “Now lets get down to business. We have captured two of the ponies that have had direct communications with the princess and would easily notice a fake princess take the throne. I can hold the princesses once I take the form of Celestia and win over the love of all those misguided ponies.”

“I am still questioning what we are trying to accomplish with all of this! What could I earn from going along with you and your lackey!?” Discord snarls as he points Trixie. “ Why in the world is she even here!? She is so weak and useless.”

“So help me Discord I will destroy you!” Trixie yelled at discord.

“BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! Discord she is here because she has an amazing appeal to the other ponies in town. She is our fall back plan as well as the best planner in the room so she is just as important as you.” Chrysalis paused after that and the other two calmed down. “Now Discord you are more powerful when the world is in a state of chaos and I am more powerful when I feed off of love. Well after I send the most powerful warriors in Equestria away on some pointless mission you can swoop in and terrorize the town. When all the villagers are afraid and calling for me, Celestia, and my sister, Luna, I will absorb their love for  me and feed off of their wonderful power. Trixie wants the elements of harmony and she wants the one and only unholy book. That's were we all come in and that's how we all make out. Any questions?”

“Did you say the unholy book? As in THE unholy book? The necronom...” Discords words were cut short by Trixie.

“Yes discord I want THAT book. Do not say its name. I heard it curses all who try to even affiliate with the book. But I am a powerful magic user like Twilight Sparkle. Me and my rival both have enough strength to wield the book and try to unlock its secrets before it takes our soul.” Trixie sternly answered Discord.

“I was just wondering. That is one of my favorite reads.” Discord told Trixie.

“WHAT?? How were you able to hold it without suffering any side effects?” Trixie gasped in amazement.

“All right that is enough small talk. I want everyone to get prepared and meet me outside Ponyville in exactly an hour me and my underling will be there waiting. Goodbye.” Chrysalis stretched her wings and walked towards the exit of the dim room. “Don't be late.” She pushes open the door and takes to the sky. She is quickly out of sight.

Trixie shot a scowling look at Discord. “We have to work together or this plan will never work, as much as I hate to say it. When this is all over and done with I am going to kill you.” Trixie got up and walked to the open door. “See you in an hour.” Trixie's horn glowed and she disappeared.

'Hmm' thought Discord, 'This well be quite the time. I can hardly wait.'
