The Elements of Chaos
Construction and Magic Equestria Style
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna and Joshua flew through the night in direction to Pony Ville, Joshua was still getting used to the whole ‘I’m a pony with horn and wings’ thing but he had to admit it felt awesome to have the wind running wildly under your wings, the sky was very calm as the moon had just rise, courtesy to Luna of course, they both reached a plain terrain located no far from the center of Pony Ville, it had nothing but dirt, but thanks to the influence of both of the princesses Joshua could get construction materials for his house in no time.
“Umm Luna” said Joshua looking at all the materials lying on the ground
“Yes?” asked Luna not understanding why Joshua hasn’t started with his house
“How the hay am I supposed to pick up those materials?” he said trying to lift ONE of the light looking bars, resulting (as expected) with the bar colliding in the ground making a loud noise.
“Why don’t you use magic to levitate them?”
“… You remember that I woke up with amnesia yesterday right?” he said while pointing several times to his head
“Oh, right…” Said Luna as she started to think for a solution, she actually forgot that ‘small’ issue, it could be a trouble in the near future so they had to find a way to solve it “I know! We can get you an extra teacher to help you with the basics of magic”
“Wait, did you said two teachers?” asked Joshua giving up with the lift practice
“Yes, one of them it’s my Sister’s disciple Twilight Sparkle, and the other one would be no other than me” said the princess as Joshua smiled anxiously
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” said the albino pony before blasting in the air and waiting for Luna after realizing that he had no idea where Twilight lived
‘If I didn’t know him, I would have thought he was Rainbow Dash’s brother’ thought the princess before guiding Joshua to Twilight’s house.
Somewhere in Ponyville inside of a cloud house, Rainbow Dash sneezed
*Space Break*
As they reached the library they were received by Spike, who was wearing a black apron looking like a tiny maid (is it just me or does Spike has no man pride?)
“Good night Princess Luna, what can I do for you?” asked Spike in his usual child-like voice, earning a stare from Joshua
“I require the presence of Princess Twilight Sparkle, it is for a royal matter, dragon Spike” said Luna in a serious tone
“Ok, suit yourselves” said the dragon before opening the door to let the princess pass, he did notice Joshua’s presence but as Luna said it is a royal matter, so he actually didn’t cared.
“Princess Twilight? It is Luna who is calling you” spoke Luna to Twilight, who came downstairs the now immense library covered with ink and dust.
“Sorry for the mess princess Luna, I kind of got way too much into my books” said Twilight while using her wings to clean the dust from her and performing a spell to wash away the ink.
“Apology accepted, now to the main thing, Joshua can you please present yourself?” said Luna as Joshua walked in, Twilight’s reaction to him was the same as Celestia’s, a complete state of confusion coming from Joshua’s horn AND wings, however she didn’t show it as she gave him a simple smile to dissimulate it; ironically enough it was Applejack, aka the worst liar in Equestria, who had thought her to show a smile no matter how embarrassed or confused she could be.
“Hello princess Twilight, my name’s Joshua, I would like to say something more but I really can’t, since I woke up in what you call ‘The Ever free forest’ I can’t remember anything else, since then Princess Luna-” he was about to continue talking but Luna gave him a grin, Joshua sighed before continuing “I mean, Luna” corrected Joshua while giving a ‘are you happy now?’ face to Luna, who simply smiled “had been guiding me through Ponyville and recently I was about to build myself a house”
“So what’s the problem?” asked Twilight while tilting her head
“Why didn’t you finished it?” asked Spike while delivering a plate of sandwiches
“Well you see, since he woke up he had a deep amnesia so I must assume he literally forgot how to use magic” explained Luna while remembering the awkward accident she and Joshua had
“What, really?” asked Twilight almost in complete shock, her face acquiring a worried grin when she only received a sad head tilt as response from Joshua
“Well what are we waiting for? Let the training start” she said as she dived into the sea of books, after fifteen minutes she emerged with a book in her mouth
“’‘Everything you might need to know about magic’ I’m pretty sure that with this book you’ll remember your magic in no time”
“Superb! Come on Joshua lets train” said Luna while Joshua smile awkwardly at the princess overjoy ‘Dear Celestia what did I get myself into?’ thought the young alicorn as they went outside
“Okay Joshua, I want you to start with the basic, just relax and let the magic do the rest” said Twilight as Joshua closed his eyes
“Umm miss Sparkle, what am I supposed to do now?” he asked with his eyes still closed
“Just relax” said Twilight “can you see a colored dust surrounding you?” she asked in a calmly voice.
“Yes, it’s pretty weird, I feel like I’m inside of a giant jelly! There are so many colors”
“Good now I want you to imagine yourself firing a beam” Twilight told him before motioning Luna to step back a little
“Like this?” asked Joshua as he opened his eyes and a huge beam of golden light emanated from his horn and made a hole in the cloud full sky before disappearing, needless to say it leaved a speechless Joshua with a ‘:O’ face, and a very impressed Twilight and Luna.
“Now that’s what ‘ah call a beam” said a voice with a southern scent, as they turned around they saw Applejack alongside the rest of the mane 6 “What’cha doing here in da’ night Sugarcube?” asked the orange earth pony.
“Goodnight Applejack, right now I’m helping out this young colt you see here” said Twilight while signaling Joshua with her head, which lay in the ground very dizzy due to the unexpected beam.
“Who moved the planet? Oh hi ladies, my name’s Joshua it’s a pleasure to meet you” said Joshua as he presented himself to the mares.
“So dear, are you capable of levitating things now?” asked Rarity
“I suppose I can” said Joshua
“WATCH OUT!” yelled a voice coming from the ever free forest direction
“What the hay?” said Twilight as they moved away
“URSA MINOR!” yelled the unknown pony now identified as Dinky Doo
“Easy sis, calm down and tell us what happened” said Pinkie Pie with an unusually calmed tone of voice
“I-I was d-delivering a letter for Zecora in her hut when I heard a huge roar and suddenly an Ursa minor with red fur started chasing me!”
“Chasing you!? So you mean it’s-” Rainbow Dash could never finish her question as a huge roar came from the Everfree forest, briefly seconds later a huge red furred Ursa Minor came emerged from them; it was insanely big for a normal Ursa Minor, it almost reached an Ursa Major’s size, its claws looked unusually sharper and bigger.
“Fluttershy try speaking to it” said Twilight as Fluttershy flew to make eye contact with the beast.
“Umm excuse me, Ursa, I think that there must be a misunderstanding here, this is Ponyville not your cave, now if you would be nice enough to-” the Ursa interrupted Fluttershy’s speech by sending her an immense claw that she was barely able to avoid.
“What’s the deal you oversized constellation?” yelled Rainbow Dash as she launched herself to hit the Ursa, but ignoring the fact that the Ursa was almost 30 times her size and it easily waved her off.
“This is enough, we will not allow you to hurt our friends, you filthy Ursa Minor!” yelled Luna as she launched a blue beam to the Ursa hitting it right in the stomach, incredibly it only flinched a little and mere seconds after it stood again with its eyes clearly showing hate and wrath.
“H-How can this be? My beam didn’t even let it a scratch” said a complete dumbfounded Luna
“I think we might need some brute force princess” said Rainbow Dash as she readied her hoofs
“Wait, brute force? Oh my God! I remember something!” said Joshua earning all the mares and Spike’s views.
“Here goes nothing!” said Joshua as his horn started to emit a golden beam
A huge cloud of white dust appeared in front of him and mere seconds later a group of eleven bipedal creatures stood there; ten of them whore a red American football suit with its armor, they were huge and muscular guys; the last one however, was a tall man, wearing black football pants, a gray polo shirt with a whistle and a red cape; in the back of the players shirt stood a black ox with the letters ‘Shadow Titans’ under it; the elder man quickly approached Joshua
“How is it going Joshua” asked the man
“Pretty well Frank” answered Joshua to Frank
“Really? Last time I checked you weren’t a colorful pony”
“It’s a long story; but can you guys help me? I kind of have a little problem”
“Of course man, what is it?” asked Frank
“That” answered Joshua while pointing to the Ursa
“Holy mother of buck” (The curses translate themselves) said Frank as he looked at the Ursa
“All right! Leave it to me Joshua” said Frank as he called his team
“Come here right you filthy rats!” yelled Frank adopting his ‘coach’ attitude
“Sir Yes Sir” yelled the team
“Our friend Joshua said that this little guy had been pissing him off along with his friends, so I want you to teach him a lesson of not messing with Joshua and turn him into meat ready to be turned into a bucking hamburger!”
“Like WcDonald’s sir?” asked one of the players
“Exactly James, just like WcDonald’s” answered Frank, his whole team just nodded
“Alright now just tell me, WHAT ARE YOU!?” yelled-asked Frank
“FILTHY PIECES OF MEAT!” answered the team
“AND WHAT WILL YOU BECOME IF YOU SOMEHOW WIN THIS TIME!?”
“FILTHY PIECES OF MEAT THAT KNOW HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL!!!”
“THAT’S WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR, NOW GO ON AND BEAT THE STUFF OUTTA THAT OVER SIZED HYSTERIC WINNIE THE BUCKING POOH!!” yelled Frank while whistling his whistle as the whole team yelled and started to attack the Ursa
This time however the Shadow Titans knew what they were doing and practically hit every single muscle in the Ursa’s body
“C’mon Harrison is that what you call a tackle!? My mom had spanked me harder with a bucking pillow!” yelled Frank at Harrison who was pushing the Ursa’s body
“That’s what I’m doing coach!” answered Harrison while adding even more force to the pushing, managing to start to break the Ursa’s gravitational center
“Then push like if you were punching the face of those Trojan Devils!”
Frank’s last comment made Harrison’s wrath snap, the Trojan Devils where the ones that won the last football season only because Simon Tranviltton, the rock-brain captain of the Trojan’s hurt Harrison’s leg in the middle of the game, causing him to go the bench, and finally making them loose the season.
Harrison screamed at the top of his lungs before finally making the Ursa to fall at its knees, as the dust cleared from the hit, the know stunted Ursa stood in the dirt revealing a red jewel on its fur, it was located in the middle of its head and had a strange black dust inside of it.
“Joshua tell the players to hit that jewel! I sense a strong magic coming from it!” yelled Luna, Joshua simply nodded and signaled the coach for the order
“ALL RIGHT YOU SHRIMPS!! IF YOU MANAGE TO BREAK THAT SHINY RED JEM IN THE FORE-HEAD OF THE HUMONGOUS TEDDY BEAR I’LL TAKE YOU TO AN ‘ALL YOU CAN EAT’ DELUXE BUFFET!” yelled Frank, smiling as his words made the effect he wanted them to have. The players went literally berserk against the Ursa’s body knocking it totally unconscious with a beating that could only be compared to being hit with a full powered beam being launched by Nightmare Moon; John, the biggest player and captain of the team, launched himself to the Ursa’s hand and in a single movement ripped the jewel from its forehead. The Ursa let a huge scream of pain before returning to its normal color and size, as it woke up it seemed very confused and just walked the way back to its cave.
“See you later Joshua” said Frank as he and his team vanished in the air, Joshua simply waved with his hoof before turning and noticing seven confused mares and a dragon staring at him with blank expressions
“What in the name of Equestria was that?” asked Twilight trying to prevent her mind from exploding from the illogical event that she had just saw.
“Oh Frank and the guys? They’re the Shadow Titans, an American football team from the Realm of Shadows, they’re pretty good with fights” answered Joshua ridiculously calmly, as if he was used to this kind of stuff
“I meant how the hay did you managed to do a summon spell!” yelled Twilight now a little calmed from the confusion.
“Well I suddenly remembered that I knew how to do it” Joshua answered while touching his horn, still a little hot because of the spell
“Joshua, try to imagine that that rock is floating” spoke Luna while pointing to a rock of a considerable size
Joshua didn’t answer as he did what the princess told him so, in brief moments, and for the surprise of Joshua and the mares, the big rock was floating in thin air.
“You did it!” yelled Pinkie Pie while jumping in the rock, Joshua was not even looking and the rock remained floating
‘What an incredible power he has’ thought Luna as she observed it, for any spell a unicorn or even an alicorn needed to concentrate on its objective, Joshua wasn’t even trying and lifted a rock, a huge rock.
“Well ah think that you’re ready to build yer house up” said Applejack as they arrived to the place which was still practically untouched and started to work.
*Space Break*
Zecora stood in her hut in the Everfree forest, the sound was soundlessly, something she adored, because it meant that the creatures were sleeping and she could relax while gathering some ingredients ‘I could go and walk around for a species pursuit, there might be a lot of spices for the potion and the soup’ she thought as she walked outside of her hut.
After 15 minutes of walking she found the species that she wanted and even more because this time the animals didn’t eat them “I knew go for a walking was an idea that is good, I could even sell some for a bit or two” she said as she started walking back to her hut, however when she exited the place where she found the treats she heard a strange noise, turning around was a young girl wearing a hood, it was pitch black so she had a bad time trying to find her gaze, her eyes were ruby colored and her hair was dirt white; the strangest thing from her apart from the fact that she stood in two legs, was the strange black fog that surrounded her, Zecora put her nest of species in the ground and spoke to the mysterious girl.
“I beg your pardon me but who are you young one? You don’t seem like anyone I’ve seen from around” she said as she walked to the girl, she didn’t answer nor did she move, the fog was the one that moved and made its way to try and catch Zecora, she however reacted to this and quickly grabbed her nest before jumping away, a poor bird was caught within the fog, Zecora stared at the poor animal, the fog didn’t killed it, but it had a horrible effect, the bird was trembling to the bones in fear, it was like if in the mere moment the fog embraced the creature it had saw the most traumatizing moment in its life repeating itself over and over again.
“That black fog is dangerous, why don’t you save it and go for a walk? It might be more efficient for you and me to just talk” she spoke to the girl trying to convince her to go to an open space, she didn’t want to be trapped in that fog, and less in a closed place like the Everfree forest, where she wouldn’t get help until a while because the ponies where to scared of the place to even enter.
The girl again didn’t answer but she ran in direction to Ponyville, seeing this Zecora took a shortcut and found that the girl was almost reaching the end of the forest, she jumped and landed in the ‘door’ separating the forest and the village, it wasn’t exactly a door, it was actually a hole caused by the form of the trees that would allow a creature of a considerable size to walk through.
“It seems that in Ponyville a little walk you will have not, I'm sorry but I must tell you that I will make you stop” she said as she launched herself to the girl while trying to avoid contact with the fog, however the girl made a little smile before the fog grabbed Zecora and launched her to the fields of the path to Ponyville, unable to maintain conscience due to the impact and the influence of the fog she fainted.
The girl walked slowly to Zecora’s now unconscious body, she took out from her hood another hood but this one was plain white, she approached to Zecora and put it over her, she didn't want to cause her pain but she was in the way, after the act was done she stood up and slowly walked in direction to Ponyville.
“Joshua…” said the girl while pausing to take a look at Ponyville, there was nopony outside at this hour and the streets were clear, some crickets were singing in the horizon and a strong wind blew through her face, taking off the hat of the hood, her hair was exactly like Joshua’s human version that Celestia had saw but it seemed to be even way more long, her eyes were revealed to be double colored, ruby red and sapphire blue, the girl also couldn’t be more than 17 years old, she was like Joshua’s human version, but in the body of a girl.
“It is time for you to learn the true reason of fear” she said to herself before the fog surrounded her and she disappeared in the air.
