Clockwock Chaos

Clockwork Chaos

Let's see now, Once upon a time...That's usually how these things start right? No matter.

There was a wise, handsom, great and powerful spirit of Chaos; not that he'd ever brag about it, by the name of Discord who once ruled over a great land known as Equestria. A land of which, was primarily home of the ponies. Everyday he would go out of his way and spread his glorious chaos, pulling harmless jokes and hilarious pranks on the many creatures of his realm. Oh what a beautiful time it was. Unfortunately however, some-ponies apparently couldn't take a few jokes.

Did you know that, when harnessed correctly, this flimsy thing called 'friendship', and I'm not kidding here, can in fact be turned into a powerful rainbow like beam that can bring about a near unholy level of, ugh, harmony to the land? No? Well nether did I until these two alicorns, (that is Pegasus-unicorn hybrids for the sake of argument) who just happened to be sisters, found and somehow used the ancient artifacts known as the 'Elements of Harmony' (where the found them only Faust knows)on the poor Chaos lord to incapacitate and transform him into stone! For that matter, it was while he in the middle of a song number too!

Talk about rude! Humph! But of course, everyone has to be a critic these days. Granted, I honestly don't think they even really knew what they were doing, let alone what thous elements would do to him. But the fact remands!

To make matters much worst, they not only whisked away all the hard made chaos I- I mean HE made, but they also started trying to organize the world's natural made chaos as well. The Princesses,(and I still want to know how they managed to convince the ponies of that. Then again they can be rather dim at times) for all their supposed Wisdom, were quite xenophobic. Everything just had to be perfect and in control with them! If one little thing went even slightly wrong, all hell would break loose with them. Frankly, what was really unnatural was their control. They even managed to bring the natural order to a screeching halt for Faust sake! From the weather to the planet's bloody orbit!

Now I'm going to be honest here, it wasn't that he hated friendship, or harmony, or even the princesses for that matter. No, what he hated was how stiff, orderly, and ridged they were. How…completely boring they were. I mean after all, there should always be a minimal amount of chaos in the world somewhere. Otherwise, disastrous things might happen.

Now if only he could find a few ponies who would listen, he might have gotten somewhere.

Roughly a thousand years later, when he manged to break free of his rocky prison, he thought he could get a second chance. A chance to show them that chaos could be fun. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. The very instant he broke free, Celestia, the eldest of the princesses immediately jumped into action, putting the current Elements of Harmony against him. Typical isn't it.

It seemed simple enough at first. Divide and Conquer. Or rather, divide them and conquer! After all, the Elements only functioned when their bearers were in perfect synchronization with each other. It didn't take much really. A little white lie here and there, a bit of magic to give a bit of a better impact, and a little exploiting of their overactive imaginations, and then ,boom. No more Elements. Simple enough right? However, to his greatest shame, he underestimated them, and their bonds of friendship. The moment he thought for sure he'd won, they'd gotten back together, used their Elements, and, once again, he was imprisoned. Only it was worst because he didn't even get a chance to pose!

But this time, he had an few aces up his nonexistent sleeve.

You see, some time during his last 'stoned' form, he decided to see if he could spread his influence, if at all, to help keep the balance of the world, only to find himself bodiless. You see, regardless of the fact that his body was imprisoned, his spirit, apparently, was not. With just a little effort on his part, he was perfectly capable of leaving his stoney prison, and venture the world at will. The only problem was that he couldn't interact with anything much, unless it was ether dead (in which case, they tended to bore him till he was in a near similar state)inanimate, (equally boring I assure you) or in a deep slumber. And even then not by much. It was because of this, however, that he had an escape. For you see, just like he was not limited to a single plane of existence, neither was his spirit.

He had seen so much the first time alone. Millions of Universes. Billions of Planets. Trillions of Civilizations.

And oh so much Chaos!

But none were more so than those dominated by the Human race.

They were rather amusing at times. The humans called themselves Homo sapiens. Otherwise known as Man Wise. Oh how very far from the truth that really was. Now don't get me wrong here, they were intelligent. That much was true. The things they were able to do with their science and technology, the ponies of Equestria were still not able to replicate, even with magic, if at all. They had knowledge in spades, that much is for sure, but wisdom? It near eluded them completely.

Wars, violence, nuclear bombs, terrorists, theft, all this and MUCH more! It was as if they only knew how to care for themselves while damning anything that got in the way. Of course there were a few exceptions, as there always is. But they where so far and few it hardly mattered. After all, to them, money makes the world go round.

They were so greedy, so selfish, so lazy, so lustful, so vengeful, so corrupt, and oh so very...chaotic!

Honestly, it was just too perfect.
