The True Master of Chaos

Through a large tree line, a head stuck through the opening, looking around the open valley in front of him. Aligon had been walking for the last twelve hours, never stopping for food or water once.it did not bother him, his own desired goal allowed him to continue without it. He looked across the large clearing in view and saw the city that he had been searching for; the great capital of Equestria, Canterlot.

The great white walls surrounded the perimeter of the city, giving off a much more massive appearance. The many building and homes within the city limits had begun shutting their lights off, preparing for the night. Overlooking the entire city was the central heart for all of Equestria; the royal palace of the princesses. Its great towers rose high above any other structure within the wall, and despite the coming night, many of the rooms stayed lit, awaiting the returning sisters from their engagement.

He was not surprised when he saw the city’s size, since he had seen the town five years ago through his magic. This happened when he sent a section of his energy to the great gardens of the palace, releasing a devious spirit from his stone prison.

Walking out of the trees he was about to take flight towards the great capital. He points his horn back towards his cape, wrapping it within his magic and causing it to evaporate in a flash. His large wings spread out to his sides, causing a small breeze out in front of him. He bent his legs in preparation for the leap, and….

A magic reading catches his attention before the wings can flap. Aligon turns to the direction in which it is coming from. He can tell it is coming from across the Everfree forest from a different direction in which he came from.

He focuses his silver eyes until they glow, allowing him to magnify his line of sight. His view suddenly rushes forward, flying past the trees, the swamp, and comes through the leaves, allowing view of a small village. He noticed how the main courtyard of the town was brightly lit despite being late at night. The tables set up through the yard were filled with ponies busily eating, and then…

“The princesses? They are not even in Canterlot?” Aligon said to himself. He sees Celestia and Luna sitting at a large table in front of the crowd, both of them eating as well. His Confusion was swiftly followed by a devilish laugh, “Oh this is too easy! The day I return to this wretched place they go off and have a picnic with their peasant servants!”

Seeing that his main problem had been removed, it wouldnt even be a problem to reach the gardens. He no longer had the urge to hide himself anymore. Even if he was discovered, his plans were nearing completion, and by the time the sisters found out what was happening at the capital, he would be gone. All of the news caused the alicorn-hybrid to laugh uncontrollably, now knowing that not only would his revenge be satisfied soon, he was becoming ever so closer to recovering the power that was stolen from him so many years ago.

Flapping his wings, Aligon took flight towards the great city. He no longer cared about being seen by any pony. He beat his wings through the air at an alarming rate, forcing him faster and faster through the night. As his speed increased, he stuck his hooves out in front of him, giving him a sleeker aerodynamic shape to his flight.

While flying, sparks began forming out of the air in front of his hooves from the friction. A cone of air began to bend around his body as he neared the sound barrier. The Cone began to get smaller and smaller around him, until finally…

BOOOOOOOM!!

A black cloud of smoke and lightning shot out in a wide arc behind the speeding alicorn. The giant cloud of energy spread across the sky, blocking out the moon and sending a dark shadow over the land. The darkness was accompanied by bright flashes of lightning shooting out at random through the smoke.

Looking back, he grinned at the spreading dark mass. It was just like the one he first did years ago. The first sonic boom in history.

Inside he palaces main hall, captain Ares sat quietly in the center of the room. He chose to leave his guards outside the door for a few minutes to clear his head. The long night shift took a toll on his head.

Ares is a blue unicorn with little emotion. Short tempered but very strong, he had become captain of the royal guard five years ago. He was originally second in command, serving under Shining Armor, Twilights older brother, until he left to live with his wife, the alicorn princess Cadence.

Since Princess Celestia and princess Luna were gone from the castle for some time, Ares took the time to relax in the quiet halls to escape his guards. Even though they always remained composed when seen by the public or with the sisters around, they always went to being loud and obnoxious with each other when alone walking through the empty castle.

The doors behind him Burst open "CAPTAIN ARES!"

The sudden yell make Ares's heart skip a beat. He flipped around and saw a panicked guard standing there.

Flustered his peace was disturbed, he shot out at his subordinate, "Damn it! I thought I told you I wanted-"

"Sir, dragons are approaching Canterlot!"

Ares sat stupefied, "what? Impossible! No dragon has ever attacked Canterlot!"

The guard continued, "No sir, I do not believe they are attacking. Our scout says there was only 3 coming our way, and they bare a white flag."

Ares sat confused. He pondered what he was hearing.  'Why would the dragon's bare a white flag? Surrender? What were they surrendering to?'. He looked to the guard, "where are they now?"

"Almost here."

Both soldier and captain ran out the room and down the grand hallway. Once reaching outside, Ares saw the rest of his battalion, 30 ponies strong, standing ready as the dragons approached the ground.

One by one, the three drakes settled down on the dirt below. The smallest one of the three was about eight feet tall, covered in black scales and had golden wings. The one to his right was taller by about nine feet, and his light blue body was followed by three long but thick tales. The last dragon was enormous compared to the other two. Standing at fifty feet tall, he dwarfed is companions and the ponies on the ground. His body was covered in green scales, which travelled up his long neck and covered his face as well.

Ares and his guards stood prepared, there swords drawn and there magic charged. The dragons, however, knelt to the ground, not wanting conflict. Ares was stunned, then he noticed the white flag draped over the smaller black dragon.

Area shook off his confusion and returned to being a guard, "What is the reason for your arrival to Canterlot? State your business, drakes!"

"My apologies for our comings..." the black dragon answered, "but we have terrible news. We must have an audience with Princess Celestia now."

"And you are?"

I am Night Stalker."

'Only a dragon would have that kind of name.' area frowned.

"Like I said, we must see the princess."

"You will have an audience with them when I say you can, dragon!"

The green dragon snarled at the hard nosed unicorn. All of the guards stood prepared to attack at any moment. The tension was stopped when Night ordered his partner to back down, which he complied to.

Turning back to the ponies, he tried to stay calm, "it is urgent that we see them. Our leader, lord  Volvack, has just been killed."

"Wh-what?!" Ares stuttered hearing the news. He ha heard so many stories about Volvack, the lord of the dragons. His power was beyond that of legend. Even the princess's admitted he was stronger than both of them.

Trying to come back from his shock, he turned to Night Stalker, "That's impossible. No living creature is strong enough to kill him."

Stalker still kept his face straight as stone, "I saw his body myself. His grandson sent me here to talk to Celestia and to ask her to come to a council meeting."

Ares couldn't believe the words he had just heard. It was something he had never even thought was possible, "a c-council mee-"

BOOOOOOOM!

All the dragons and ponies turned at the sound. Looking out to the sky, they saw an explosion of smoke and lightning expanding threw the sky.

The dragons stared in shock at the strange sight, not knowing what to say to what they had just witnessed. The ponies were no different, all standing open mouthed at the cloud.

One of the guards was finally able to squeeze out words, "What-what in Equestria is that!?"

Ares could not take his eyes off the strange formation, "I don't know. I've never seen anything like that."

Night Stalker was the one who snapped everyone out of there trance when he noticed its directional path, "whatever that thing is, it is heading straight for the town!"

Aligon flies through the air faster than he has gone in over a millennium, feeling a rush of adrenaline from being help back for so long. He sees the city walls rapidly coming closer in the dark. He looking out, he sees the gardens past the town. He thinks of flying right to them, getting to his goal, then leaving the city. He believes this would be the easiest way to go along.

And yet, it would not be the most fun way to go along.

He looks down and sees the rows of stores and homes set up on the streets. He notices how there are still many ponies walking around at this time of night. A wave of maliciousness rushes over him. He realized that he had not caused mass panic in a population in the time he had returned, besides when he had control over Luna for only one day.  He wanted to remember what it felt like to truly cause terror in the world.

Coming up with an enjoyable way to take up some time, he banks hard towards the stone street below him. He speeds through the air at hurricane speeds, forces that would cause many others to black out. At the last few moments before impact, he stretches his wings to slow the drop.

Despite slowing down, Aligon still hits the ground with enormous force, leaving a large impact crater and sends a shockwave in all directions, knocking anything or any pony within twenty feet. Broken chairs and umbrellas are shot across the street mixed with a cloud of dust. Nearby windows are shattered by rocks and other items shot off from the impact.

As the dust clears, Aligon sees the once quiet street is now a destroyed mess filled with debris and the screams of scared and injured ponies.

After recovering from there sudden blast, a pair of unicorns try to help eachother up, trying to figure out what had just happened. They look behind them and see a tall figure standing where the blast had come from.  They immediately notice the dragon wings sprouted from its back. The strange sight sent chills up their spines.

Aligon walked towards the two scared unicorns shaking on the ground below him. He slowly trotted up to the pair, his silver eyes peering down at them. He bent his head down to them so he was almost head level with them.

The female unicorn lifted her eyes to meet with the figure above her, but when she saw those silver eyes staring straight threw her soul, she forces herself back down, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Do you fear death?" Aligorn questioned, his serpent voice falling off his tongue.

The young female trembled at the question, "y-y-yes." her voice barely audible from her shaking so much.

"Aw, that's too bad." he straightened himself back up, his horn starting to glow, "you're about to experience it."

I apologize for the short chapter, but I want the different stories to blend after this, so I am saving more for later. Enjoy!
