Madness 101

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CRIME STOPPERS GO!" The three fillies charged upon Sheogorath, only to be blocked by geysers of milk popping out of the ground. Scootaloo wanted to look for another way around, to no avail. "Oh come on! Where else are we supposed to go to stop this...freak?!" Sheogorath stopped suddenly. "Freak? FREAK?! I am no freak. I turn chickens like you into cheese! Or is it the other way around?" Apple Bloom intervened, "Ah think it's cheese into chicken sir..." Sheogorath turned toward Apple Bloom. "At least some of you have MANNERS. Emphasis on manners." Scootaloo rolled her eyes at the prince. Sweetie Bell started to quiz Sheogorath. "Why are you destroying Ponyville?" Sheogorath thought about the question for a bit, and by a bit, I mean four milliseconds. "Well I don't know. Go ask the fellow who looks a lot like a long snake." And so the Crusaders realized that he meant Discord. Their own quest to find his location...begins...

The quest to receive the sword Sharp Cheddar has begun. With the Mane Six and the Knights of the Round Cheese. They began their descent into the warped Everfree Forest, as creepy as ever. Twilight began firing questions upon them. "You know, we didn't get your names..." the Cottage Cheese knight looked at her. "Oh! But of course! We have forgotten our manners. Haven't we boys?" The other knights looked at each other agreeing. "Well, I am King Cheese! The most aged, and the King of the Cheese People!" The knight clad in cheddar cheese spoke up, "I am Sir Sharporlot!" The others began introducing themselves, with ridiculous names such as Swissia Cheesia, to the more serious Colbius. Finally, after the long journey, they have found themselves at their first obstacle.

They were overlooking a cliffside, and there was a cave with a seemingly familiar manticore skeleton, and various other skulls, bits and pieces. Rarity looked scornfully at the location. "My, my, what a mess!" Then, an adorable little rabbit hops out of the cave. Fluttershy's eyes lit up. "Aww, isn't that the cutest little bunny I've seen?!" She begins to walk toward it but Twilight stops her before she can get any closer. "You don't know what type of bunny that is! It could be deadly!" Sir Colbius looked at it, and admonished them. "It's not deadly. Look, I'll go over and pick it up. Alright?" Everypony nodded as the cheese-clad knight trotted over to the bunny. He began to pick it up, until it grabbed his hoof, and dragged him into the cave. His cheese armor and bones fly out of the mouth of said cave, adorning the pile already on the ground. Everypony looked in shock and awe as the rabbit hopped back out of the cave, it's mouth adorned in orange. The blood-thirsty rabbit suddenly lunged at another cheese knight. He attempted to fight off the creature, but to no avail. Twilight in her panic, casted a spell into air. A large rock crushed the rabbit and the poor fool who was being eaten by him. Some of the knights went over to confirm that the rabbit is dead. The rock suddenly came to life. "Well that was a nice dinner. A knight covered in cheese and a fresh rabbit. How more delicious can this get?" Everypony stared at the rock that just came to life. King Cheese began questioning this rock. "Who are you?" The rock turned around at the knightly king. "I am Tom Clancy. King of the Rock people." Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Tom? Clancy? Really?" Pinkie Pie looked knowingly at the thin veil that is the fourth wall. "Well, it IS a fan-fiction." Twilight stared at Pinkie Pie. "Wait...what?" Pinkie's eyes darted quickly from side to side and said, "NOTHING!" Twilight rolled her eyes, and they began questioning the boulder.

Back on the CMC's loving side of the story, they are currently searching all around Ponyville looking for survivors and Discord. "Ughh....we'll never find him," Scootaloo groaned as they trekked on their adventure. "Ah, don't worry about it girls. We'll find him soon enough." They stumble upon a throne. One part red, one part purple with silver separating the two. There was a sign on the throne that said, "Off finding more things to bring, be back soon. - With love, Discord and Sanguine." The Crusaders looked at each other, then mentally decided to make a campsite, and wait for them.

Off in the mountainous area of Canterlot. Celestia was munching on popcorn with Princess Luna. "Isn't this wonderful sister? I get to spend time with you at the expense of my- I mean our subjects." Luna looked over at her. "But Tia, shouldn't we help our blindly loyal subjects?" Celestia shrugged. "I'm sure the Bearers of the Elements will handle it. The absolute thought of them failing will result in the world imploding on itself probably. But it's nothing that they can't handle. And hey, they stopped the Changelings from taking over Equestria. I'm sure they can handle three power-hungry figures with powers to destroy whatever it is in their way at a whim." Luna and two other guards stared in disbelief at her. Luna began running down on what her sister just said. "So you are saying that you are letting the Bearers of the Elements, by themselves, will handle this universe threatening situation?" Celestia rolled her eyes. "That is what I just said sister." They began to laugh in hysterics. A guard suddenly barged in. "Princesses! It seems that Discord and...whoever he brought with him went off to find another universe to play in!" Celestia and Luna weren't really paying much attention, but they were looking at a bucket that was levitating above said guard's head. Celestia asked him this question, "We know that...but what's soaking wet and clueless?" The guard thought about it for a bit and began speaking, "Well...it could be yo-" before he can finish the sentence, the poor fool was covered in water. "Your face!" The bucket slammed over the guards head. Both Luna and Celestia began laughing.

Back in our chaotic realm, Twilight, the Mane 6 and the Knights of Cheeserlot continued on their adventure to find the legendary Cheddar Sharp sword. King Cheese turned and looked at the group. It was reasonably large enough...just he was missing about two knights. "Twilight, I've been meaning to ask you, what IS that staff anyway?" Twilight had been carrying the Wabbajack around, just looking for a time to use it. "Oh, this? This person gave it to me and called it the Wabbajack or something," the noble king just shrugged. "I was hoping it was an ancient cheese artifact, oh well. Maybe you would find a use for it." Just then, there was an imposing pony dressed in black armor. King Cheese stepped forward and began walking toward him. Before he got within five feet, the knight boomed out, "NONE SHALL PASS!" of course, King Cheese pulled his sword out. He began threatening the knight. "You are going to let me pass, or I shall run you-" the knight interrupted him, "NONE SHALL PASS, I BOW TO NOPONY! BE IT KING OR QUEEN...OR PRINCESS!" The cheesy king became frustrated. He charged and lopped his foreleg off. It began bleeding whip cream, ketchup and mustard. The knight scoffed at the wound. "Hah! This is only a scratch!" King Cheese looked confused. "But...I just lopped your whole foreleg off!" The knight stared at him with his bleeding leg. "If it is a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!" The knight charged with his three legs, but his hind leg got lopped off, it began bleeding confetti. The knight then sneezed, and out popped streamers. "Hah! These are the party favors I stuffed in my leg since I was a mere child! This is nothing more than a flesh wound!" King Cheese rolled his eyes. The fight raged on...for about five minutes. All of the limbs besides the knight's horn was removed. and all that was left was his head. "Okay...how about we call it a draw?" King Cheese nodded in assent. "I agree. Let us end this pointless violence." The ground was littered with ketchup and plasma. The party then went on their way.

-ORBITAL BASS CANNON DEPLOYED-

Back in the real world, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were still camping out near the throne. Applebloom was really, really, bored. "About how long do we have to wait." Sweetie Bell was still upbeat about waiting for them. "I just know it will work!" Just then a red portal opened. "Weee'reee baaaacckkk....."
