"Discord!!!!!"

Twilight was infuriated. Discord, Rainbow Dash, Spike and Pinkie were having a near death experience from all the laughter while Rarity, Applejack and Starlight were struggling not to let their own laughters from escaping their mouths. Twilight's mouth on the other hoof had seen better days, as Discord replaced her snout to be where her rear should be. Luckily he hadn't reattached her rear to her face. Nopony wanted to see that. Nopony.

"You rascal!!" Twilight yelled from her rear mouth causing Discord to laugh even harder "Turn me back or you'll go back to being a statue"

"Why would you ever do that, dear Twilight" Discord said whipping a tear from his eye due to all the laughter "You can only do that if I go back to being bad. And I'm perfectly good" an halo appeared over his head.

"Good my-" Twilight started but paused when she realized saying that would only make things worse for her. "Ugh i wouldn't call this being good. If anything, this is you being straight up evil!"

"Oh you're just trying to frame me because you hold a grudge on me Twilight" Discord put his best victim act "Please, stop this unjust persecution towards me and stop pulling lies out of your.... butt"

That did it for the rest of the group who were resisting the urge to laugh and soon enough the room was filled with laughter as everypony(and draconequus) rolled on the floor uncontrollably laughing. Twilight in the meanwhile was sitting in the middle of them all, her mouthless face wearing a look like she had had enough of this. Her horn lit up and the laughter stoped as she used her magic to shut everyone's mouths. Then she levitated Discord to where he was face to face with her.

"Fix. Me. Right now!" She yells angrily, which sounded more comic than serious given where her mouth was.

"Now now Twilight" Discord said unphased "You really shouldn't use that tone on me least i make you want to take a quick bathroom break right now" he smirked as Twilight backed up scared.

"Woah hold it there Discord" Applejack spoke having escaped Twilight's magic grasp "Jokes are jokes but that there is a step too far."

Discord poundered for a bit "Yeah i guess that would be a step too far. Oh well, twas fun." he snapped his fingers and Twilight went back to being normal with every part being where it should be. After checking herself over she gave a sigh of satisfaction then went back to glaring angrily at the chaos god before her.

"Whose idea was it again to bring Discord to our Slumber party?" she said will annoyance, ready to physically and mentally wound whoever came up as guilty.

"Umm, it was me... "Fluttershy said meekly.

"Great." Twilight sighed. Well she couldn't exactly punish Fluttershy without feeling bad herself. Or without having Discord replace her body parts again.

"I thought it would be fun to have Discord with us tonight. Besides, this can also help him socialize more. You know how hard the poor thing has it to socialize after reforming" the yellow pegasus Flied over to Discord and patted his head, to which he didn't object.

"I must say Fluttershy, i am quite happy you invited me here. It's been fun so far" Discord said glaring at Twilight with a smirk as she growled angrily "I admit I'm not a big fan of this pillow fortress thing" he levitated one of the mentioned pillows towards him and animated it into a flying singing pillow with parrot wings "But making Twilight talk out of her butt is good entertainment if i do say so myself"

"I'LL KILL HIM!!" Twilight yelled as Rainbow Dash and Applejack held her from jumping at Discord and doing who knows what to him.

"Twilight chill!" Rainbow said "It was only a joke for fun don't make it a big deal"

"Yeah no need to get violent sugarcube" Applejack added

"Oh I'll get violent alright and I'll make a big deal out of it as i RIP OFF HIS HEAD!!"

Discord laughed in amusement "Oh please dear. If only you were capable of even slightly hurting me-"

"Then I'm sure she'd make good use of her time. Heheheheh."

Discord froze. Everyone present froze, as an unknown voice was heard across the room. Even the singing flying pillow went silent(or more specifically flied out the window twenty seconds prior).

"Ummm, girls? Discord? You heard that too, right?" Starlight asked, feeling a chill down her spine.

"I-i-i think i heard it two darling." Rarity stuttered, hugging Fluttershy and Pinkie for comfort.

"W-who's there?" Twilight called. She looked around but she couldn't notice anyone else in the room besides them.

"Who? That is a riddle. What? An even greater enigma." The strange voice was heard again. It was strange in all definitions of the word. It sounded echoey, almost like a chorus even. Twilight tried to pin point the gender pf whoever was talking but found herself unable to. The alien sounding voice was completely uncategorizable. "But what's a name other than an etiquette used to differenciate beings from one another, whenever one is unable to do so through other means. But if you must call me by anything you may simply call me, Volo." A tall shadow figure formed in the middle of the room, with a shinning white eyes and grinning smile on what appeared to be its face. The very sight caused the ponies to scream in panic. Discord on the other hoof looked irritated. "The pleasure is mine." the now named Volo took what looked to be a respectful bow while giggling a bit.

"What do you want, Volo?" Discord sighed with annoyance.

"D-do you know t-t-this thing, Discord?" Fluttershy asked, frightened as she was.

"Let's just say we're old friends."

"Indeed we are." Volo chuckled "Remember the old days Discord, when you and i would wreck chaos upon all land and corrupt everything we came across. Hahaha ah good times."

"Sweet Celestia, there's two of you?!" Twilight exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Yes indeed now what do you want Volo?"

"My goodness, Discord. Why so cold. That's no way to treat an old friend." Volo started shifting and soon the shadow figure turned into a black cat with blood red eyes. "We used to have so much fun together." the new form seemed to have also brought along a new voice, this one more normal sounding.

"In case you haven't heard, I've changed now. And last time i remembered seeing you was when i had to banish you because you were literally burning ponies alive while you sexually assaulted them!"

The room went silent as everyone paused to process what Discord just said and then turned towards Volo with an even more frightened look. The cat was chuckling with an insane, toothy grin and even more insane eyes.

"I-i-it d-did WHAT?!"

"Aw don't be like that Discord I don't hold a grudge on you for ruining my fun. And besides, you know those little pricks had it coming" Volo giggled maniacally. Then it took a look around the room, observing the rest of the group. "So. This is how you spend your time now? Slumber parties and reorganizing body parts of royal ponies? Nice, hehehehe. Especially the mouth to butt thing. Hmmm i wonder, if you were to have sex during that would it be anal or oral?"

Twilight's face turned into a burning red before she took a ragefull look and started approaching Volo.

"What did you just say you-" her words were cut short when Discord got in front of her, preventing her from approaching further and shaking his head in a way that made it clear he didn't want her to get closer to Volo. Seeing this, Twilight calmed down and backed up, causing Volo to smirk and laugh in amusement.

"Hey what's so funny?!" Rainbow Dash spoke, trying to sound as brave as she could.

"Why, everything of course. But mainly your fear. You ponies are sooooooo cute when you're afraid heeeeehehehehehehe."

"We are not scared of the likes of you!" Applejack stepped in.

"Yeah. Meany pants like you aren't scary at all. Annoying? Sure as sugar. But not scary!" Pinkie Pie added "Unless you do something really scary in which case you would be scary but-"

"Pinkie dear. We get it." Rarity said, stoping the rambling mare from getting into one of her endless talks.

"We can easily defeat you if we needed." Starlight said proudly as Spike was hiding behind her.

"Yes" Twilight started, encouraged by her friends. "Discord tried to defeat us once and he failed, no offense Discord"

"Some taken"

"And as long as we're together there's no chance in the world that you-"

"Aaaand I'll have to stop you right there dear. I know you all are going to defeat me with the 'power of friendship' and all that but I'm literally an eldritch god of chaos, madness and anarchy soooo yeah i don't think-"

"You rude ruffian you didn't let me finish!"

"Oh right sorry go on please"

"As long as we're together you will never be ab-"

"Nenenenenenenene look i do not care. I literally DO NOT CARE! I don't know how else to put it i simply don't care. Be friendly as much as you want, no matter how many rainbow colored magic you throw at me i do not fucking care."

Twilight didn't reply. She just looked in shock at how this vile creature acted so confident and uncaring when faced with threat of defeat. It was similar to how Discord acted when he hadn't been reformed yet, but something felt more different. More.... dangerous.

"Look Volo, leave them out of this. I do not want to know how you're back, just tell me what you want and get this over with." Discord said with a determined voice nobody expected of him.

"Why, can't i visit an old friend just to say hello?" Volo rubbed against Discord's leg, purring and meowing.

"Had you been anyone else you would be welcome, but no."

"Hmph how rude Discord. And i thought we were friends."

"Were being the key word"

"Oh my someone is spicy hahaha. Oh well, seems you don't want me here but i want to be here. We're in a bit of a dilemma Discord."

"And that Dilemma can be solved with you leaving." Discord stated coldly while pointing his finger away.

"I have a much better idea" the black cat chuckled "How about a race Discord"

"Race?" Discord asked with confusion.

"Yes. A competition of whoever can cause the most chaos. If you win, I'll leave Equestria. If i win i get to stay as long as i want and have fun. Sounds like a fair deal?" Volo raised a paw towards Discord, seemingly waiting for the draconequus to shake it.

Discord was in deep thoughts for a few moments, thinking about the offer. The rest of the group could do nothing but wait and see. They didn't quite understand what was happening. All they knew is that the new creature was dangerous and that Discord didn't like it. And if Discord didn't like it that most probably meant bad news.

"I have one rule." Discord finally answered "You do not hurt anyone."

"Hmmm sounds fair. I promise i will not touch anyone with the intent to cause hurt for as long as our game is going on."

"Deal."

The two shaked paws and all of a sudden, Volo turned into a grey owl.

"Meet me in the town center tomorrow at ten. Bring your little friends with you. They need to be there. Tell you details when we're there. For now" a window suddenly opened on it's own "Let's call it goodbye" Volo took flight and went outside the open window which closed again the moment it left. Silence reigned for a few long moments. Nopony really knowing what to say.

"Discord?" Twilight was the first to talk "What was that?"

"That was Volo. You can say that back when i was still a villain i had some bad company. Volo is one of them. It's a being of chaos, much like me but more powerful and more perverse. Spike, grab a paper and quill. We must notify Celestia at once."

Spike did as told and soon was back with the required items. He had never seen Discord so serious before and it scared him, so he hoped that whatever he had in mind ot will solve things.

"Write. Dear Celestia. This is Discord writing. Well actually it's Spike doing the writing but you get what i mean. I wish I was writing just to waste your time for my amusement but unfortunately we're facing a great issue. Volo. It's back. I do not know how but it has returned from the exile i sent it in and just came and met me. We managed to strike a deal over who gets to cause more chaos. If i win he'll be leaving Equestria for good. Do not worry i managed to get it to agree not to hurt anypony. Still, i advice you and Luna stay away from Ponyville until this is resolved, for your own safety. Do not worry about Twilight and the others i will be taking care of them and make sure they're alright. Please. Do not come. Do not send anyone, unless i ask you to do so. Wait for more reports from me. I repeat, stay away and let me deal with this. I promise I'll solve this whole thing." he turned towards Spike to see if he was done. Once the dragon was finished writing, Discord nodded "Now send it."

And with a breath of green flame, the letter was sent.


Next day, Town center

Twilight and her friends did their best to get everyone inside their homes and out of danger. Still there were those who leaned from out their window to observe out of curiosity. But hopefully no real threat faced them. When everyone was safe they gathered at the center where Discord waited. From what he told them, this Volo person wasn't like the villains they have faced before. Nit just compared to the power, but also the malice. They had never heard of any creature who to have slain the population of a whole village just because it was bored and then proceed to do most perverted things to the dead bodies. The very concept of it was enough to give them nightmares the other night. Even Volo itself had enough of a frightening presence to leave them sleepless, ignoring its past acts. Something about it just felt wrong. If they were to be honest non of them wanted to be here. But Volo had made it clear they should be present. They had no idea what it was they were supposed to do and the possibilities scared them. But all they could do was hope that Discord could resolve this soon enough.

"So. How long will we wait. It's ten already. How much must we wait this jerk till it-"

"Hello!"

"AAAH!" Rainbow screamed. More out of being startled than actual fear.

Valo showed up in its cat form, slowly walking towards the group and stoped just in front of Discord.

"So what you have Discord? Any cool tricks you want to start this competition with?"

With a snap of his claw, Discord made all the clouds around turn into pink cotton candy and start raining chocolate rain and popcorns.

"Hehe, classic you."

"As if you're going to make any better. You'll just make it black clouds that rain blood. That or acid rain." Discord scoffed in annoyance.

"Actually no" Volo stated simply, caughting Discord a bit off guard and causing him to worry a bit. If it wasn't going for old tricks then what was it going for?

Soon enough, behind Volo opened shat looked to be a portal. Curious and confused, everypony gathered behind Discord to see what would happen. They didn't have to wait long as soon a group of ponies started coming out of the portal. The Identity of these new ponies caused everyone to gasp in shock. Even Discord was surprised.

"It... it's...." Starlight tried to verbalize.

"It's us?!" Twilight managed to say.


Author's Note

And so it begins!

A bit of clarification as to my choice of grim dark main six(Or Mad six as I'm calling them), which if you read the description you already know who I've chosen now let me explain why. I could have gone for grimdarks like Experiments of Twilight Sparkle, Rarity's new pattern, lil miss Rarity or even Fluttershy's rage. However those all felt too much like Cupcakes copypastas and just plain torture porn and i feel like Cupcakes Pinkamena is enough of that plus i wanted some diversity in the mad six and clash of ideals between them. So instead of the more cupcakes type killer versions of main six I'm choosing other more unique and less known versions. I'll admit, it was one hell of a time finding grimdark versions of Applejack and Fluttershy, because apparently those two aren't well used in the creepypasta side of the fandom. And as i said i didn't want to go fir Fluttershy's rage because that's too cupcakes style so eventually i ran into Butterflies grimdark and found that Fluttershy more unique. For Applejack i could have gone Apple Sleep Experiment and that would have allowed for some comedic scenes of Applejack chasing Filthy Rich around with a shovel but that Applejack would have been too uncontrollable and not subtle enough for the way i intend the story to go. So eventually i found Bad apples, and thought that Applejack was interesting enough. For Twilight i could have gone with Researcher Twilight or Experiments of Twilight Sparkle and that would have worked just fine but again, too cupcakes so instead i went for Dollmaker Twilight from Twilight's dollhouse which i consider to be one of the most underrated stories out there and probably the best version of a Nightmare Twilight our fandom could ever have(yes even better than Midnight Sparkle). For Rarity i could have well gone Lil Miss Rarity but Lil Miss Rarity is.... well... just a self harming masochist. Not really a monster on her own. The girl is fighting demons but ain't quite a demon enough herself to be part of Mad six. The next candidate was Rarity's new pattern but again, too cupcakey so no. That left me with The secret life of Rarity from Killer Rarity Verse. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie i can't choose otherwise even if i want to, Rainbow Factory and Cupcakes are two classics that will never get old hence they deserve a place within the mad six.
So that's the reason why i chose this specific grimdark killers(Does Dollmaker Twilight count as a killer? She did technically end up killing like two or three ponies but her shtick isn't to kill. Eh whatever I'm counting her either way). I hope you enjoy the story as it goes on and don't forget to be active in the comments i love an interactive audience. That's it for now and see you on the next chapter! Tata
