The island of chaos and two different worlds
following the music
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe group continues walking while the wind picks up and they keep getting pushed back. Chase and Racer were telling jokes to Autumn and Winter. "...It was in the refrigerator. " Chase says as he finished a joke. Racer was laughing like a hyena. He looked at Autumn and Chase. "I had no idea you humans were so funny. You are strange but funny. I have so many questions. Do you eat cake? Do you party? Does anyone fly? Where do you get food? What food do you eat? Is your world like Equestria?" Racer asked taking really fast. Autumn thought for a moment, She wasn't really sure on how to answer his questions. She still thought about how odd this place was and how she was actually talking to a unicorn and a pony. What would be next would she be talking to a tiger? She looked at Racer. "Well Racer the answers are yes, sometimes, only in machines are we able to, at a store, we eat many kinds of food and I'm not sure I never been to Equestria I bet its lovely." Racer gasped as the wind started to calm down. "You never been to Equestria its the greatest place in the world." Winter nods in agreement. "Equestria is a really lovely place darling. It is a nice place full of peace and harmony. Thats why we need to get out of here before Discord plans to ruin it." Chase looked at Autumn. "Discord brought you here too. He showed up at my house saying that Im too crazy." When he said the word crazy his air stood up. Autumn rolled her eyes. "I have no idea why he would say that." Chase nods. "I know right?" They continued walking noticing a few stone columns like Autumn saw when she first woke up. "I wonder what theses columns are for." Autumn said as they past them. Winter looks at her. "Who knows? This is Discord's island." Racer nods. "Yeah but I do like it here its kind of random." Autumn was about to respond when she heard the sound of a guitar playing. The music sounded so lovely and peaceful. She wondered who might be playing it.
The music continued for a few minutes, sounding so peaceful and great. The song seemed to change from a nice melody to something sounding like rock. Chase was doing a funny dance along to it and Racer was trying to copy him falling down . Winter laughs. "Colts can be so funny at times don't you agree." She looked at Autumn. Autumn nods. "Yeah guys can be at times." The boys continued dancing around acting silly as can be. The girls laughed and walked towards the music. After a few minutes they saw a tall,skinny,black spiky hair guy with a earing in his left ear. He wore black skinny jeans, black shirt and leather jacket. Autumn recognized him as the guy from her bus. He was playing a guitar and that was where the music was coming from. Sitting by him was a grey colt with black zebra stripes. His mane looked like a zebra's mane too. He even had a record as his cutie mark. He was playing a guitar with his hooves. The group listens for a few minutes and Chase and Racer run up to them and spoke at the same time equally fast. "Hey who are you two? Did Discord bring you both here two? I'm Chase and I'm Racer. Lets be friends." The boy nodded. He looked at Autumn. "So I see your here too. I'm Eon." Autumn nods. "Nice to meet you. I'm Autumn Ruby but most call me Autumn." The grey zebra colt looked at them. "Why hello there I am Zack and yes Discord brought us here and we would like to go back." Autumn was surprised to see a zebra here but then again she had seen a unicorn so it wasn't all that strange.
After a quick introduction to everyone's ponies, the group started talking to each other. Eon looked at them all. "So what Zach has told me, Discord is a creature of Chaos but what would he want with us humans and ponies. " Chase sat on the ground thinking. "Hmm...when he took me he said that I was crazy and hyper since I jump around and goof around with people making them mad." Racer nodded. "He told me something around the same lines." Autumn wondered if she would tell them what Discord told her. Eon ran his fingers through his spiky black hair. "He told me that I play too loud causing people to cover their ears." Zach put his guitar on his back. "He told me that I am different as can be." Winter looks closely at him. "Well you clearly are a grey zebra and you have a cutie mark." Zack nodded looking at his record cutie mark. "I am not a phony for I am half zebra half earth pony." Chase smiled. "That is so cool and you rhyme." Eon nods. "Yeah he has been doing that since we met. He is good at playing the guitar." Autumn wondered how Zach could play with hooves but didn't ask. "We noticed. You both are awesome." Zack grins. "I say we are good at the least since it helped put a manticorn to sleep now that was one great beast." Winter gasps. "You too. That was how I met Autumn here." Autumn plays with her necklaces. "Yep. "
From above Discord continued to watch them. "So it seems they almost met everyone I brought here. So what should I do to mess around with them and cause some chaos." Discord hold some clay in his hands. It was a greyish color clay, that was soft and squishy. He starts to use his hands and forms a chicken head and a snake body. He snaps his fingers causing it to come alive. "This cockatrice should do." Discord threw it and it landed in front of the group.
Winter sees the cockatrice first and screams. "Run its a cockatrice it will turn you to stone." She starts to run. Chase didn't hear her at first then he saw it and before he could run. He was a statue. Racer looked at him and pointed him with his hoof. "Oh no Chase." He ran off. Autumn was running and looked back at her statue friend. "We cant just leave him." Zack looked at her. "We will come to get him back. You can trust me or my name isn't Zack." Autumn nods believing him. Eon grabbed his guitar and tried to play it as he was running but he couldn't. "You guys run I'll see if I can put this beast to sleep." He starts playing a harmonious melody. It seemed to have started to work. The cockatrice was swaying back and forth. Eon started to play more hoping the song would make it fall asleep. The cockatrice continued to shake its head trying to keep itself awake. When he got close to Eon he looked at him straight in the eyes and he turned to stone. So it was only Autumn the dark brown haired girl with the many necklaces around her neck, Winter a dark blue unicorn mare with a lavender and pink striped mane with a sparkly ring cutie mark, Racer the red bow tie wearing earth pony colt,a yellow coat and curly red mane with cutie mark was a pogo stick, and Zack the grey zebra with his guitar and a black record cutie mark. They continued running through the forest.
Discord was eating some popcorn watching what was going on. "Perhaps I need some more entertainment." He snapped his fingers and the cockatrice multiplied to four. "Four should be enough." Discord also made a brown suitcase appear. "I will have to make those ponies and that girl to stop some how." He opened the suitcase and pulled out a sparkly red ruby. The four cockatrices got the group to split up. It was only a matter of minutes in till Winter saw a pretty ruby floating in the air. She tried to use her magic to get it. Unknown to her it was Discord making the ruby float using a fishing pole. Winter kept trying to get the ruby. In her mind she saw many ideas of what she could turn that ruby into. She could make it into a necklace, a belt or even a crown. She almost got it when she felt something tab her shoulder. She turned and she screamed since she was the cockatrice and she got turned to stone.
Another cockatrice was chasing Racer. Racer was hoping around trying to get away. Racer was hopping over rocks trying to get away. The cockatrice continued to chase him but was Racer was way ahead of him. When Discord saw this he looked in his suitcase and pulled out a pogo stick. He dropped it down to the cockatrice and it started to hop on it. When Racer saw this his bow tie spun in a circle. "Hey pogo sticks are my thing." Racer jumped on the pogo stick with the cockatrice. While Racer was having his fun jumping up and down with the pogo stick, the cockatrice turned in and the pogo stick to stone.
The third cockatrice was having a hard time since Zack was playing his guitar. The song he was playing was soft and lovely. It was the perfect lullaby song. "You will not win you little beast. You will not win in the very least." Zack continues to play and by the time the cockatrice got close to him he was almost asleep. Discord saw this and dropped a pair of earmuffs on its head. The cockatrice couldn't hear anything and looked Zack in the eyes turning him to stone like the others. Discord smiled. "Only one left." The three cockatrices went to catch up with the one chasing Autumn. Autumn was almost out of breath as she was being chased. Her necklaces jingled as she was running.
