Chapter 2: Story Arc One: The Beast Master's Major Disaster Part One
Previous ChapterOpalevicious emerged from the purple and white vortex to the top of a forty story flat topped building, which was the tallest building in the middle of the brightly lit nighttime landscape that was the medium sized modern city of Omniville.
There were no visible stars in the almost orange colored sky due to the haze of smog above the city and the light pollution. The city itself was your average city except that it appeared as though Tim Burton had a small hand in designing it. The buildings where colored dark gray to black. Each of the tallest buildings had no less than four terrifying gargoyles, though most had more. Each gargoyle was in the shape of a twisted bestial chimera that bore a strong resemblance to Discord.
“Good to see you are in one piece.” said a heavily electronically augmented emotionless female voice from behind Opalevicious.
Opalevicious turned around to see the two pegasi that were behind her. One was a female yellow coated pegasus with a long pink mane and tail that whipped back and forth with the turbulence at this height and she had a cutie mark of three hornets on her flank.
The other was wearing a dark purple jump suit similar to Opal’s but instead of utility belts it had one black metal hoof attachment on each hoof, they reached about half way up her legs. The two on her forelegs had a large blank screen on them. She wore a dark purple metal mask with electronic red eye coverings that constantly streamed information to her about anything she looked at. The only part of her not covered was her blond mane and tail that flowed in the wind.
At their hooves were the unconscious bodies of Mare Do Well and Discord. The unconscious draconequus was laid on top of Mare Do Well in a less than couth manner. When Opal saw this she grimaced, Fluttershy just blushed and turned her head. D just sighed in annoyance and knocked Discord off with her left forehoof.
“Anyway, give me the horn.” said D to Opal.
Opel opened the compartment in her jet-pack pulled out Discord’s horn and tossed it toward D; it was no longer glowing at this point. D caught it with a black aura, similar to the one Opel used, emitted from the device on her right forehoof.
Opel shrugged and said, “I don’t know why you wanted that. With all the order magic that permeates, pervades, and imbues our world that thing is useless, ineffectual, and unavailing.”
“Naïve feline, chaos empowers chaos, and chaos can arise out of the unlikeliest of places.”
“There you have the horn now keep your end of the deal.” said Fluttershy in an angry and scared tone.
“But of course I’ll keep my end of the deal, Angel is unharmed as promised.”
D pointed her right hoof toward the other side of the roof. It and the area she pointed at started to glow dark purple. A purple and white portal opened up and an orange female pegasus filly walked out of it. She had a short purple mane and tail and a cutie mark that was a red swirl over the image of a brain. Her eyes were red as if she had just been crying. She was carrying a cage in her mouth that had a white rabbit in it.
“Release the rabbit Scootaloo.” said D as she looked her over. “And don’t worry Strife and Dissension will reward both of our loyalties and bring back the ones we lost.”
“Strife and Dissension?!” Opal and Fluttershy asked shocked.
“It would appear that I have slipped up. I’m sorry Beast Master but I must now alter our deal, we have too much at risk to let you stop us. Scootaloo you know what to do.”
Opal and Fluttershy looked at Scootaloo expectantly. Scootaloo nodded at D and placed the cage down on the roof. Her eyes started to swirl with colors similar to when Discord hypnotized the main six. By the time Opal and Fluttershy realized what was happening it was too late, they were under her control.
“Beast Master has some powerful mind blocks toward animals being harmed, which might undo what I did.” Said Scootaloo with a grimace, despite it being her power she didn’t like to control ponies’ minds, even if it was to get her parents back.
“That won’t be a problem Scootaloo. Did you forget my ability?” D asked as she walked up toward Fluttershy.
“No.” responded Scootaloo as she looked down, she knew what was coming.
D placed her left hoof on the yellow pegasus’ forehead and her hoof started to glow white. The aura spread out to cover Fluttershy’s entire body, and after a few seconds sunk into her skin and disappeared.
“How are those inhibitions now?” D asked not expecting a reply for she knew they were gone. “Listen carefully Fluttershy I want you to take care of any personal vendettas that you have preferably in cruel ways.”
Fluttershy simply nodded and did a backward flip to jump off the building and fly off toward the Everfree Forest.
D knew exactly who those vendettas belong too Gilda, Rainbow Dash, and others from her humiliating time at flight school. Unlike the one in Equestria, Concordria’s Rainbow either didn’t know about the bulling or didn’t care. This was one of the circumstances in her life that drove her to be a villain in this world instead of a hero. Rainbow Dash and Gilda or more commonly known as Typhoon were considered two of the greatest heroes of this world.
D then turned to Opalevicious. “I want you to take these two to the nearest hospital unharmed.” She motioned toward Discord and Mare Do Well.
Opalevicious used her watch’s black aura to pick them up and she flew off to a hospital with them in tow.
D used the power granted to her by the sisters to open another white and purple portal. “Come along Scootaloo you have school tomorrow, your parents would never forgive me if you missed a day because of this business.”
Scootaloo lowered her head to the ground and walked through the portal, she still sulked about having to use her powers to hypnotize Fluttershy and Opalevicious.
D looked out at the city before she muttered to herself. “Don’t worry momma will see you again soon and nothing even Concord himself can stop me.” She walked through the portal and it closed behind her.
About ten minutes after they left a dark gray pony with white hair who wore a beige professors sweater with green at the elbows over a white dress shirt and black tie and large black rimmed glasses on his snout, walked out on to the roof from the door to the roof, as he often did to think to himself. His cutie mark was of a circle with two lines through it intersecting at a perpendicular angle.
"Hello what do we have here?" He asked himself as he looked upon the now shivering Angel Bunny in the cage.
"Who would leave a poor defenselessness creature on top of a building? No matter come along little fella we'll get you warmed up and find out who left you here." He grabbed the cage's handle in his mouth and made his way back inside the building.
