Even chaos beings need time to unwind
The insanity is only beginning...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe three mares continued carefully maneuvering around the tiles as they followed the other chaos beings around.
“Wait for us!” Sweetie called trying to keep up but she almost stepped on a trap tile.
“We do that it’ll be Christmas by the time we get there,” Bill rolled his eye.
“Not our fault this place is poorly-” Scootaloo was immediately stared at by everyone there “...I mean… nevermind,” Scootaloo said nervously as she continued to play a forced game of Twister trying to catch up to Discord.
“Dis, help them,” The Elephant said.
“Alright alright,” Discord used his magic to levitate them over to them.
“I’ll carry you guys,” Discord said as they continued on.
“Thanks,” AB said as they were carried into a carpeted area and set down.
“This place is ok for beginners,” Discord said.
“Ok, so, what now?” Scootaloo asked.
“We go to the slot machines,” Discord said with a smile.
“Alright, gonna get me some crypto,” Bill said rubbing his hands together.
“What’s crypto?” Sweetie asked as they walked on over to the slot machines which were walking around as well and Discord stopped one and it sat down.
“He’s just referencing his cameo in another show,” Discord said as he pulled the slot machine handle and it spun.
“Wow,” The three mares said as they saw it land on two alien heads and a hand slapping a face.
“Oh dat not good,” The Elephant said.
“Why?” AB asked.
Suddenly a Xenomorph came out of the slot and it slapped Discord before going back in.
“...What the hay did ah just see?” AB asked.
“He landed on slapped by a Xenomorph, dos things have sharp claws,” The Elephant said.
“The hays a-”
“Can you three stop asking so many questions? You're giving me a headache,” Bill said before he flew over to another slot machine and kicked a large pink bunny aside “Move! It’s my turn!” Bill said before he magically pulled the lever and it landed on a pair of lips a heart and a coin.
“Dang it…” Bill said before a coin manifested next to him with big fat lips and it gave him a big wet kiss before vanishing.
“Blech,” Bill wiped the salivae off of him.
“This doesn't make any sense,” Sweetie said.
“Yeah, ain’t it great?” Discord said before pulling the switch again and it landed on the same thing and another Xenomorph came out and slapped him again before going back inside “Darn,” Discord snapped his fingers in frustration.
“Sooo, what’s the point?” Scootaloo asked.
“You try to get three coins, you win big money,” The Elephant said before he hailed a slot machine over to them and it came over and sat down “Da, now you try,” The Elephant said.
“Oook,” Scootaloo said before pulling the switch and it spun.
It landed on two hearts and a cactus.
“Um… what does that mean?” Scootaloo asked.
“Dis’ll hurt,” The Elephant sighed.
“What wi-” Scoots asked before a cactus manifested and kissed her, pricking her with needles in the process.
“OWOWOWOW!” Scootaloo cried.
“Hahahaha!” Bill laughed at her, the cactus vanished afterwards and Scoots had cactus needles all over her face.
“Ow…” Scootaloo said.
“I got ya,” The Elephant clapped his hands and the needles vanished.
“Thanks,” Scootaloo said rubbing her face.
“Wanna try again?” He asked.
“No way,” Scootaloo said getting up and trotting back over to the group.
“I’ll try,” Sweetie said.
“Your funeral,” Scootaloo said and Sweetie pulled the lever and it landed on three poop emojis.
“....That can’t be good…” Sweetie said as the machine began to shake.
After an incident that was so gross I can’t even describe it and Sweetie got cleaned up, they made their way to an arcade.
“I NEVER want to go near another slot machine again,” Sweetie shivered.
“It was kinda funny,” Discord said.
"Yeah," Scootaloo chuckled.
“It was freaking hilarious,” Bill said.
“No it wasn’t!” Sweetie barked.
“Alright, now we play some games, c’mere,” Discord went over to an air hockey table where Q and Bart Simpson were playing.
“Hah! Gotcha,” Q said.
“No fair,” Bart said.
“Oh come now, you can’t beat Star Trek’s, air hockey champ,” Q laughed.
“Eat my shorts,” Bart said getting another one out.
“Did he hitchhike in Loki’s purse again?” Bill sighed.
“It’s a tote bag! And yes,” The Simpson Loki said as he walked past.
“Ugh, mortals,” Bill said before teleporting Bart into a nearby basketball hoop.
“Whoa!” Bart cried as he landed in the hoop.
“Alright Q bring it!” Bill said.
“A challenge eh? You are on,” Q said as they started and they began hitting the air hockey puck at speeds almost too fast to see.
“Whoa,” Scootaloo said.
“C’mon, dey will be awhile,” The Elephant said as he walked away.
“Coming!” AB said and they followed them.
They arrived at a street fighter game being played by Bugs Bunny and several other creatures were watching him play.
“Whoa! Look at him go!” A three-face monster said.
“Nobody beats the bunny!” Another pterodactyl-like guy said.
“Wow, there’s so many weird guys here,” Sweetie said.
“I know, this is trickster central,” Discord said before lights began blaring, “Uh oh, get ready!” Discord said.
“What? What’s happening now?” Scootaloo asked looking around for anything weird or painful to happen.
“Pie squall!” Discord opened his mouth and a pie fell through the ceiling and into his mouth “Mmm, cherry,” Discord said.
“...What?” AB said before a cranberry pie fell on her head.
“It happens every sixty one minutes, I love pie squall!” The Elephant used his trunk to suck up several more pies that fell through the ceiling.
“This place is so random,” Sweetie said avoiding several pies.
“Uh, yeah, why do you think I frequent this place?” Discord said as he ate several more pies.
After ten minutes the pies stopped.
“Mmm, best one in awhile, that last one had elderberry in it,” Discord said.
“Yum indeed,” The Elephant said as they made their way over to the rest of the arcade.
“Whoo hoo!” Scootaloo cheered as she played on a racing game with AB and Sweetie was enjoying a zero gravity chamber.
“Wheee!” Sweetie flapped her wings eagerly.
“Hmm,” Scootaloo and AB got off their game after Scootaloo won and saw this.
“Come to think of it, can I use magic now? I have a horn,” Scootaloo said.
“Me too,” AB said.
“Let’s try it,” Scootaloo said and they focused on trying to-
BOOM!
Unexpectedly lightning arched out of their horns and blew up a lego guy who reassembled automatically.
“Hey! Watch where you're pointing those!” He scolded.
“Sorry,” The two said before poking their horns “Odd, why did that happen?” Scootaloo asked.
“Because you two are new to chaos magic,” Discord said as he approached.
“New?” Sweetie asked as she exited the zero gravity machine.
“Yeah, try to avoid using it too much, I’ll teach you the ropes later,” Discord said as he led them toward the wall.
“Why are we walking to a wall?” Scootaloo asked.
“When are you going to stop asking questions and just live in the moment?” Discord said as he began walking up the wall.
“Whoooaaa,” The three said and they followed him up the wall.
“Nice huh?” Discord said as he was now on the ceiling with them and they made their way to what looked like an upside-down cafe.
“Alright! I was getting hungry,” AB said.
“Yep,” Discord said as he made his way over to the desk where a hideous squid man was.
“Hi Jimmy,” Discord said.
“Hello Discord!” Jimmy said in a warbled voice before glancing at the others “Whose the plus one, two, and three?” He asked.
“Just friends of mine, I’ll have two zipple burgers and three vegetarian malko salads, they're the vegetarians not me,” Discord said.
“Will you want a drink with that? Small, medium, large, mega, super, humongo, or kaiju sized?” He asked.
“Kaiju, and a diet squish will do,” Discord said.
“Alright, here ya go,” He said handing Discord a cup bigger than he is and the food.
“Wow,” The three said.
“Do you really need that much soda to drink?” Sweetie asked as Discord carried it to a spot.
“Who said we’re drinking it?” Discord said before setting it down and hopping into it like cannonballing into a pool.
“Huh?” The three said in confusion.
“Alright, come on it, the soda’s fine,” Discord said.
“....No thanks,” Sweetie said not wanting to get all sticky.
“C’mon, dis is the best way to eat the food, is in a pool,” The Elephant said.
“Wait when did he get there?” Scootaloo asked.
“C’mon!” Bill said also in there.
“Where are they coming from?!” AB demanded.
“You girls wanted to experience my pastime, well come on!” Discord laughed.
“Oook?” The three conceded and they climbed in using a ladder that appeared.
It felt like a relaxing bubbly pool.
“Ah,” Scootaloo said enjoying it.
“This won’t ruin my mane will it?” Sweetie asked.
“Nope,” Discord said.
“Well, let’s get eating,” Discord said and they suddenly had a boat in the middle of the cup with their food on it and it transported the food to them.
“Thanks for getting us salads,” Sweetie said.
“No prob,” Discord said.
“...Will this knock us out again?” Scootaloo asked.
“Love that you're being careful now, no it’s just salad,” Discord said.
“Whew,” they ate and were happy that it didn’t make them pass out again.
“So, how’s da stay? Was it good?” The Elephant asked.
“It's been a wild ride,” Scootaloo said.
“Yeah, I can’t wait to tell Rarity,” Sweetie said.
“....Yeaaaah, about that?” Discord said.
“What?...” The three said now expecting something terrible.
“Two problems, one, nopony else can know, I risked enough showing you three, and two, you can’t leave for now,” Discord said.
“What?...” they said.
“Yeah, should have mentioned this sooner but you three can’t leave until you’ve had a certain ceremony,” Discord said.
The three looked at each other and then at Discord.
“What kind of ceremony,” AB asked.
“You three must be properly inducted as official chaos beings before you can leave, it’s protocol,” Discord said.
“Yeah, we all had to do it, it’s not fun but it’s either that or defy Chief D, and I am not keen on doing that,” Bill said stirring his drink.
The three mares looked at each other wondering what they should do.
