Previous ChapterNext ChapterMoments earlier
In an evil black throne room, a teenager sat comfortably in his throne chair reading text messages on his phone. He still remembered to keep in touch with his friends during their summer break.
Group chat
Dudes! I just got the new Pokémon trading card game!
That's cool. I'm being forced to go to my sister's clarinet recital tonight. 😩
Oof, that sucks. I'm just sitting in my room doing nothing, so yeah.
Well I'm about to do some prank <
attacks on some girls in my neighborhood.
Be careful then, if you get caught they'll beat the ever living shit out of you. 😰
Don't worry guys. *evil smile* They won't< know what hit them. 😈 Wish me luck. 😁
Tyson left group chat.
Tyson put his phone away and got up from his throne. “Now then.” He snapped his fingers and a ring of black flames appeared at his feet. However a knock from nearby reached his ears. He turned around to see a portal leading to his room in the human world. Another knock on the door, it was his grandpa.
“Tyson, are you in there?” His grandpa asked.
Tyson immediately rushed through the portal and closed it behind him. “Uhh yeah I'm here.” He said. He opened the door to face his grandpa.
“Ok, well I'm heading out to the store to buy some more prune juice. Because those burritos at Taco Bell weren't sitting right. Now I might be gone in a few hours, can I trust you to behave yourself and not go anywhere while I'm gone ?”
“I promise grandpa, I'll be right here.”
“Alright then, bye now.”
“Bye.” He closed the door. He waited until his grandpa left in his car and drove off. When the coast was clear he opened the portal to his world and walked in with a devilish grin on his face. “And while you do that….” The black flames appeared at his feet again this time enveloping him completely. When he walked out of the flames he was in his draconequus form and wearing a green jacket with red flame marks. “...a bunch of horses are in need of a good pranking smackdown.”
He drew a square in the air with both his fingers and three screens appeared showing a multitude of camera screens from his world, the human world, and of course Equestria. He tapped on the screen for the Equestria and the screen enlarged itself. He watched as all the ponies went about their lives. “Good thing I remembered putting spy eye cameras all over the place, now no one will be spared from me. But geez, looking at this place in the daytime makes my eyes feel like they're barfing rainbows.”
He sat back on his throne and tried to think of what pranks to do. “Hmm, I could go for a rotten egg rain. Or I could put laxatives in their food. Oooooor… they should have a taste of the classic Henderson stink bombs, yeah those never fail me.” He summoned a green bomb and tossed it up and down in his dragon claw. “Get ready to get stinky horses. But first… a little royal hello for horsey town… or whatever they call it.” He flashed his evil smile.
Canterlot royal castle
The doors to the throne room opened revealing Twilight and her friends. Any upsetting thoughts Celestia had on her mind went away for the time being when she saw her student. “P-princess Celestia, are you ok?” Twilight asked, her face etched with worry.
“For the most part I'm fine.” Celestia reassured. Her face turned serious. “However there are more pressing matters at hoof.”
“Discord and these mysterious draconequi.” Twilight answered.
“Goodness, we already dealt with that ruffian Discord but now there's four like him.” Rarity said.
“I don't get it, I thought Discord was the only draconequus here.” Rainbow Dash said.
“That's what we all believed.” Celestia said. “Last night Luna had informed me one of her guards spotted a draconequus roaming around the gardens. At first I was confused since we only knew Discord to be the only draconequus, however I was proven wrong when we encountered this draconequus.” Her horn glowed and showed a projection of Mischief.
“This guy? But he looks like a kid.” Rainbow said in confusion.
“Awww, he looks so cute.” Fluttershy said. “U-umm, f-for a draconequus.”
“At first we didn't know what to think of him since he looked so frightened by us so we attempted conversation, however he responded by attacking us with a piano.”
The elements gasped. “Well that doesn't sound very nice.” Pinky said. “Whenever I meet new ponies I never think of hurting them.”
Celestia continued. “We managed to corner him and we demanded him to tell us where he hid Discord. That's when….” She fell silent.
“Princess?” Twilight asked with worry.
Celestia gritted her teeth in silent anger. “...he appeared.” She showed a projection of Riot. Twilight could tell that this draconequus was trouble.
“This feller don't look too friendly.” Applejack said.
“You said it AJ, he looks like a total jerk.” Rainbow said.
Despite the anger she feels Celestia continued. “He appeared out of nowhere and took control of Luna and made her his personal ride.” More gasps.
“He WHAT!?” Twilight shouted in disbelief.
“Another one appeared soon after and heavily injured the guards.” She showed a projection of Fukakaina. “She used a strong attack against them. Many of them are in the medical room being treated, unfortunately some of them are still unconscious. I clashed with that draconequus and managed to take her down.” She sighed again. “That's when the one who mind controlled my sister used her to attack.” Another collection of gasps. “Immediately he decided to humiliate Luna by dressing her up as a clown.”
“A CLOWN!!?” Rarity exclaimed. “That is the worst…possible thing. And to Princess Luna! If I ever see that… that…oooooo!!” She steamed. At the same time others also voiced their not so pleasant opinions on Riot.
“And when I attempted to free my sister, I was stopped by the last draconequus.” She showed one last projection showing Trastorno. “I assume he is their leader since he attempted to make peace with everything happening.”
“After all the trouble they caused, how could he even think of making peace?” Twilight muttered with a hint of venom.
“After encountering these draconequi, I prepared myself to fight them all. Unfortunately I was rendered unconscious, and when I woke up, thankfully though still dressed as a clown my sister was returned to normal. However Discord was already gone and also…” She lifted her forehoof, lit her horn to reveal part of the “makeover”.
Twilight’s mouth hung open when she saw what happened to her mentor’s beautiful fur. (Twilight.exe has stopped working)
“No matter what we do, we can't seem to get rid of…this.” Celestia put the illusion spell back on her forehoof. “While we don't know what relation Discord has with these draconequi but we do know this, while these draconequi are powerful, they seem to lack experience.”
“Lack experience? Ya reckon these varmints don't know how to use their magic?” Applejack asked.
“It's what we assume to be the case since most of them used unknown methods to fight. Regardless, we must be cautious. We're not sure what their goal is, but if they're working alongside Discord then they may be dangerous to handle.” Unbeknownst to everypony in the room, a strange creature was watching them. The creature was small, had a round body with a large green eye, two tiny horns on its head, bat wings and small tentacles. It was completely invisible so nopony could see it.
As it turns out, this little creature is a surveillance camera and it's revealed that Riot was observing everything from his throne room. “Then how about I show you.” Riot said with an evil smile and he snapped his fingers.
All of a sudden, Celestia's viewpoint went white in a flash of light. And in the next second she was in ponyville surrounded by ponies. “W-what… what the…!?” She exclaimed in shock.
“Sister!?”
Celestia quickly turned and found Luna had also been teleported here. She gasped when she noticed Luna was dressed as a clown again. Luna gasped even more when she saw Celestia. Celestia noticed her gaze and she was alarmed when she saw that the spell she casted on herself was removed. But what really made her heart sink was the fact that many ponies were watching them. Many were staring with their mouths agape. Parents were shielding their foal’s eyes. And some had perverted looks and conveniently had cameras.
“Nononononono!!” Celestia's mind was in a panic, the last thing she needed was this.
“Sister my horn refuses to work!” Luna said with panic. When she heard this Celestia also tried to use her magic, however her horn wouldn't even give off a spark. This wasn't good. She noticed more ponies gathering around them and staring mainly at her. One thing ran through her mind, they needed to get out of here.
“Luna, we need to leave NOW!!” Celestia shouted. She raised her wings to fly, only to realize her feathers weren't on her wings but made up her fake beard. A loud thunk was heard from behind her. She turned to see Luna sprawled on the ground with stars circling her head. She noticed ripples around them and she guessed the worst. She reached out a hoof and sure enough there was a barrier trapping them.
She desperately banged against the barrier trying to break it but showed no signs of breaking. While she struggled with the barrier, from a distance a familiar giraffe headed creature stuck from behind a building. He stifled a laugh. “You two have fun now.” He walked out into the open completely invisible to the ponies and. “Now then, time for some fun of my own. But first, I better deal with some pests.” He disappeared in a combustion of black flames.

Back at the castle
“Princess Celestia!?” Twilight shouted. The others were shocked when Celestia suddenly disappeared.
“What happened!? Where did she go!?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Oh she's fine, just hanging around.” A voice said from behind. Everypony turned to the direction of the voice, it was the same giraffe headed draconequus Celestia warned them about standing at the doors. Twilight took a step back at the draconequus's sudden appearance. Applejack and Rainbow both took fighting stances. Fluttershy hid behind Rarity. Rarity was repulsed by Riot's tacky taste in clothing with that jacket. And Pinky got her party cannon ready.
“Y-you're one of the draconequi the princesses encountered.” Twilight spoke up.
“In the flesh.” Riot pointed a wolf thumb at himself and smiled. “The name's Riot, and this place is about to be my new pranking grounds.”
“In your dreams pal!” Rainbow shouted. “We beat the likes of Discord and we'll do the same to you!”
“Why don't you come over here and say that to my face you gay-ass pride month looking bird horse.” He stuck his middle finger at her. Rainbow was taken aback by the insult, that shock quickly turned to anger at the insulting provocation. She was about to launch herself at him when she felt a tug at her tail.
“Whoa there Dash, he's just tranna to make you madder than a hornet.” Applejack said with Rainbow's tail in her teeth.
Riot looked at her with displeasure. “Pfff killjoy….” He muttered.
Twilight stepped forward. “You four draconequi may have freed Discord, but we'll stop you all and we'll make you pay for insulting the princesses.” She stated.
“Ok, but before you do I have one question to ask you. Do you know the one difference between me and Discord?” He asked.
“Oh oh oh pick me pick!” Pinky raised her hoof up wanting to be called.
Riot pointed a finger at her. “Yes, the one whose hair looks like cotton candy.”
“Is it because you're not really a draconequus but actually became one because of Discord?” She guessed with an innocent smile. The room went silent as everyone stared at Pinky. Even Rainbow Dash stopped struggling to break free of Applejack's grip. Riot flinched and his face was sweating bullets.
“How in the actual FUCK did she guess that!!!? Is she some kind of psychic??? I can't be exposed like this, at least not yet anyway.”
“Wait, so does that mean he's not a real draconequus?” Rarity asked.
Riot quickly took a deep breath, expanding his chest, and let out large amounts of purple smoke. The girls were taken aback by the sudden gesture, but when they inhaled the smoke they felt a sense of drowsiness.
He turned around and looked back. “Well it was nice talking to you dudettes but there's a town and it's two princesses that need me, later losers.” He started walking away, disappearing in the smoke. “Note to self…no, MANDATORY note to self, watch out for the pink one.”
“N-no……we… have… to…” Twilight was already beginning to lose consciousness. The other started to fall one after the other until Twilight remained. She struggled to keep her eyes open but she failed and everything went black.

Ponyville
Celestia and Luna panted heavily after numerous attempts to break the . More ponies kept gawking at them, but mostly Celestia. She covered herself in utter embarrassment while her cheeks were burning red.
“It's no use, this barrier won't break no matter how much we strike it.” Celestia thought. “That little punk, I don't know what his game is but he won't get away with this humiliation!” Her eyes burned with fury. She looked towards her sister and she wasn't having luck breaking the barrier. Luna was getting angry with the crowd of onlookers.
“STOP YOUR STARING AND LEAVE!!!!” Luna shouted using her Canterlot voice. Her demands seem to fall on deaf ears because nopony seemed to listen. Upon closer inspection, they weren't moving at all. Celestia and Luna were confused at this scene when a familiar voice called out.
“Hey princess, you should put some clothes on, someone will think you're a nudist.” Both princesses turned to see Riot sitting across from them. He waved at them nonchalantly. “Hey how's life for ya?” Luna responded by rushing with fury wanting to beat the absolute shit out of the teenager when she forgot about the barrier and slammed face first into it. Riot fell backwards laughing at her. “Hahahaha!! At least you were dumb enough to fall for that and all I had to do was just stand here.”
“ENOUGH OF THESE GAMES YOU VILE SCUM!!!” Luna was at her boiling point with all this and shouted with all her rage. Riot covered his ears from her voice. “RELEASE US THIS INSTANCE SO I MAY INFLICT PAIN BEYOND-!!!” Her voice was immediately cut off when Riot snapped his dragon claw. Luna noticed this when she realized her voice was gone.
“My god does that sister of yours always scream like?” Riot asked sarcastically, still hearing the ringing in his ears.
“Only to those who deserve it after humiliating us as a joke.” Celestia said looking at the draconequus with hate.
“Lighten up, it's just a joke, no need to lose your hair about it.” He looks at Celestia. “Well in your case I guess it's too late for you. Hehehehehe.”
Celestia gritted her teeth while her face was red. “Just you wait, once the elements of harmony come here you won't be laughing anymore.”
“Well duh, do you think I made sure they wouldn't come here in the first place?”
Both alicorn's eyes widened with trepidation at what he said.
“You didn't…” Celestia asked, fear in her heart.
“Don’t worry, they're safe. That I promise. Anyway, I'll just leave you two here while I go have some fun.” He patted Luna on the head. Luna took this chance to bite his hand. She immediately jerked her head back and cried out in silent pain. Celestia looked at her sister with concern and gasped when she noticed her teeth were broken.
“Hahahaha!! Honestly you really should've seen that one coming.” He taunted. He showed them his wolf arm which was covered in metal. He looked at Luna's now broken and bloody teeth making him inwardly winced. “Maaaaaaaaybe a bit too mean.” He snapped his fingers and Luna's teeth were fixed. “There, better?” Luna's only response was to glare at him. “Alrighty then I'll see you later.” He turned and walked away. “Oh and before I forget, the name's Riot.” He clapped his mismatched hands together and time returned to normal.
Everypony there was confused as to why they were standing around in a bunch. They went about their day like nothing happened completely ignoring the two sisters. The two didn't understand what was going on until it dawned on them that Riot must have erased their memories of the past events. Luna pounded against the barrier once again at Riot's retreating form. Celestia hoped that Twilight and her friends were safe and beat this new foe.

In a different part of Ponyville
Riot looked at the ponies below on top of a building. He had his arms crossed in thought. He wondered what he should try next. “Nothing too big for now, want people… or horses to get a little taste of my greatness, but what to use….” He noticed a restaurant that was selling burgers made of hay. He then had an idea.
He flew into the restaurant, passing through the walls. He saw a lot of ponies eating which made him smirk. He snapped his fingers and time froze. He summoned bottles of extreme hot sauce and poured them into every food there, after he finished he resumed time and ponies resumed eating. As soon as they bite into the food, nothing happens. After a few seconds one pony at a table spoke up.
“Hey, my burger is kinda tasting funny.” He said.
“Yeah… so are my fries.” The other one said.
One by one ponies began to taste changes to their meals. Then they felt a spicy feeling in their mouths, at first it was a small feeling, then they felt the spice getting stronger. They began to sweat from the heat from their mouths and tried to wash away the spiciness with their drinks, but it wasn't enough. All of sudden, all spit flames out their mouths.
Everypony screamed from the extreme burning sensation. They ran around knocking over tables and bumping into each other, tears running in their eyes. They all ran outside startling the other ponies, they went around to try and get rid of the burning pain. Riot was laughing hysterically at the spectacle, then he had an idea. He snapped his fingers and big jugs of milk. The sight of milk was noticed by one of the tongue burning ponies and he immediately ran for them the others following suit.
As soon as they got close the jugs suddenly rose into the air and moved away from the pursuing crowd. The ponies desperately ran after the jugs wanting the pain to stop. The jugs started flying around in all directions as if taunting the ponies. Some pegasi were flying after the jugs which resulted in them crashing into stuff and each other. Riot continued to laugh maniacally at the ponies suffering. He decided that was enough and made the jugs stop moving.
Everypony wasted no time and drank every drop of milk until the pain finally subsided. Relief washed over them as they panted heavily from the heat. Riot laughed once again before flying away from the scene.
~~~
Riot floated near the ground still laughing at his prank. “Oh man, that was epic. Now what's on the agenda today?” He got his answer when he bumped into a wall. “Ow what the….” He looked at the building which resembled some kind of carousel. He noticed in the window that inside was filled with an assortment of clothes that were made for ponies. Riot was convinced this was a clothing store. He had yet another idea.
He entered the store and went to one of the pony shaped mannequins with a white dress. He took out a container which was labeled “itching powder”. He snickered and dumped the powder onto the dress. “Oops.” He did the same with the rest of the clothes and left the store grinning to himself. Not before leaving a green bomb behind.
~~~
Sipping a cup of cherry soda Riot entered another weird building. This building looked like it was made of gingerbread. “Man, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed.” He finished his drink, placed it in his pockets, and entered the building. The bell on the door notified the pony at the counter.
“Hmm? Hello, how can I… huh?” The yellow pony couldn't see Riot, who was still invisible, walking to the counter. “Well that was odd, I could've sworn somepony was here.” He scratched his head in confusion. Meanwhile Riot stared at the tasty looking sweets on display.
“Well god damn, the guys would love to eat these.” He looked at the pony who worked here. “I think I'll have some if you please.” He stretched his dragon arm and poked the ponies’ shoulder. When the pony turned around, Riot's wolf claw went through the glass and picked up a couple of chocolate doughnuts and stuffed them in his mouth. The pony turned around and noticed some of the donuts were missing.
“Huh!? What's going on?” He asked. He looked around for the culprit. Riot simply floated over the counter and entered the kitchen. There he found a blue mare who was a bit plump hard at work making a few sweets. He noticed her picking up a bag of flour. He once again had another idea. He snapped his fingers and the contents in the bag changed without the blue mare's knowledge. He snickered and left another green bomb before leaving the kitchen.
He passed by the yellow pony and thought to do one last thing. He snapped his fingers and a bucket appeared on the ponies’ head, blinding him. He also made the floor under him slippery making him fall. Like a vacuum, Riot sucked up all the sweets behind the glass and ate them. He flew to the door, before leaving, he turned to the pony who was trying to get up from the floor, making his voice heard. “Thanks for the sweets!” He flew off laughing.
~~~
Riot had been on a farm before, but he had never seen so many apple trees before that his jaw dropped. He flew around the trees and came across a red earth pony who looked pretty bulky. He kicked the tree with his hind legs and the apples fell into a basket. He picked up the baskets and loaded up a cart that was also filled with apples. He noticed one of the apples had a worm sticking out. “Nope.” He simply said and put the apple on the ground and moved on.
Riot picked up the worm carrying apple and pulled the worm out. He looked at the wiggling worm, then back at the apple trees, then back at the worm again. Another idea came to him. He took to the skies to see if he could find a barn house. When he located the barn he flew towards it. He sees the barn had some baskets filled with apples. Snapped his fingers and something in the apples changed.
He lets the worm he was holding on to eat the apple to see what will happen. After a couple of minutes waiting, something was happening to the worm. The worm slowly began to blow up like a balloon. After the worm stopped swelling it was about the size of his fist. He tossed it in the air and smacked it away using his shark tail. “Hope those guys savor each bite, cause it's gonna blow up in their faces. Or in this case, blow them up.” He snickered and flew off, before leaving a green bomb in the barn.
~~~
Celestia and Luna just sat in their invisible prison while nopony could see them. Celestia wondered how long they would be confined like this. But what made her concerned is since their magic wasn't working they couldn't move the sun and the moon. Her thoughts were interrupted when they heard a familiar obnoxious voice.
“Hello sun butt, and Lulu the angry clown.”
The two turned to see Riot, both of them expressing irritation, disgust, and anger.
“And to what do we owe the displeasure of seeing you?” Celestia asked with narrowed eyes.
Riot simply pulled out a camera and took a picture. “Well for starters, I want to remember the day I first pranked royalty hehehehehe. And just to let you know that I'm going home for the day. And also because my grandpa's coming back.”
“Does that mean you'll never come back here?” She asked sarcastically.
Riot laughed. “You're funny, you know that?” He snapped his fingers and a portal appeared. “Welp, see you later.” He turned to leave. Luna tried to say something, but she remembered she still couldn't talk.
“Wait! You can't leave us like this. We need our magic to move the sun and moon, please at least let us out before you leave.” She pleaded, though she felt sick from doing so.
“Ok, ok calm your horse tits, I'm not a total douche.” Celestia was taken aback by what Riot said and growled at him while blushing. Riot snapped his fingers and the barrier trapping them vanished, along with the ‘makeover’ done to them. “Until next time.” He went through the portal and left.
The ponies were shocked when the princesses suddenly appeared in front of them. They immediately bowed. The two looked at each other, seeing they were back to normal. They also feel their magic returning. They nodded to each other and they teleported back to the castle where the elements were on the floor.
Celestia felt her heart drop when she saw this. They ran to them and found they were just sleeping. They both breathed a sigh of relief. Celestia gently nudged her student, stirring her awake.
“Wha… huh…?” Twilight groggily said. She noticed Celestia was standing before her and she yelped. “Eek!! P-p-princess Celestia!!” She quickly wiped the drool from her mouth and knelt down. The other beginning to wake up as well
“I'm glad to see you all safe. It's wonderful Riot has not done anything to you.” Celestia said with a smile. Twilight and the others were confused and Twilight asked.
“Princess, who's Riot?”
Celestia and Luna paused at the question.
“Huh………?”
