The Genius Himself

After the comic appearance of Discord, who dissapeared, riding a cotton candy cloud, the ponies returned to their task. Laugh was laugh, but they still had buisness. Soon the device, that led them, started making some strange noices.

• Hmmm... That means we are close! -  said Celestia

• I think it's time to tell them all the truth, sister! - answered the night princess.

• Luna! - Celestia didn't want to say it yet.

• The wholle truth? Princess, what are you hiding from us ? - Twilight was nervous.

The princess sighed.

• I guess we should make you a Council Member, after you are an alicorn. If you were, you would know.

• Know what? - Dash threw her doubting look at the princess

• We aren't here just for the rebell, but for that, we think he seeks.

• An'what can he seek? - Applejack asked.

• You see these clouds?

Everypony looked up. The storm clouds were gathering over the forest. The storm was going to brew soon.

• Yep. Aand?

• They aren't normal clouds. They are clouds, that once every 5000 years form a very powerful and destructive storm.

• But... What can he use them for? - Twilight was confused.

• If an alicorn stands in the right place at the right time, the storm will pour all it's power in him. And as we know, he became an alicorn once. There is no reason he becomes twice. The spell, that I casted, doesn't last so long.

• What kind of power? I don't think there is a power strong enough to deal with these! - said Rainbow Dash while pointing to the Elements of Charmony.

• That's the problem, there is. The storm is the bearer of the only thing powerful enough to do so- The Elements of Chaos, the complete opposite of the Elements of Charmony.

• The Elements of Chaos? - spoke the confused Mane 6 in one voice.

• Yes. While the Elements of Charmony symbolise the virtues of the pony soul, the Elements Of Chaos symbolise the eternal chaos in nature.

• But, Princess, nature isn't chaotic. - spoke Fluttershy

• Really? Had anypony of you ever seen a volcano errupt? Or how a tornado lift a house, just like it was a feather? Nature may sometimes be charmonic, but when it isn't, it's the biggest chaos of them all! - answered Luna

• OK. - spoke Fluttershy quietly.

• They represent:  Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light and Darkness. The Elements are 6 just as those of the Charmony and as powerful as them. Neither can stop each other.But while the Elements of Charmony are in 6 different ponies, the chaotic ones can only gather in 1 pony- an alicorn. The powers are too huge for a normal pony. They convert immortality to mortality and vice versa. But speaking of this won't stop Hase! Let's go! - Celestia was desperate.

It didn't take long before they reached a strange looking tree. Luckily, it was on another lawn, and all the ponies could see the clouds. Lightnings struck. The tree had stairs and something, that Celestia called "an elevator". It was surrounded by a fence. When they tried to breach it, they were trown back.

• That feels like if you been struck by lightning! - Twilight said.

• A lightning on a fence? - Rainbow Dash was confused.

Suddenly the fence went bellow. The lawn was now clear. They were getting ready to look around the tree, when they suddenly heard a voice:

• It is called an electric fence.

Everypony turned around. Behind them, a middle sized blonde earth pony with a hat stood and laughed quietly.

• Hase!

• Celestia!

• You know this is madness!

• I sure do! But it's different this time!

• And why?

Hase slowly went out of the shadow and removed his hat. He wasn't an earth pony. He had wings, and he had a horn, real wings and horn.

• You never learn, right?- said Celestia while her horn started glowing - Prepare to be chained again!

A red magical chain got out from Celestia's horn and wrapped around Hase. He just laughed and sent a magical bolt at Celestia. She fell.

• But... How?

• I guess you forgot the theory. The Eternal Bonds will never work the first time against a new kind.

• But... I have performed this spell on unicorns, pegasuses, alicorns, even on earth ponies! What are you then?

• This is a very interesting story. But first, to be sure you're listening...- said Hase and got some kind of a ball from his belt. He opened it. The Eternal Bonds were sucked in this ball. Then suddenly they became 3 - ... take these!

Hase threw the 3 balls at Twilight, Luna and Celestia. The alicorns didn't have enough time. The balls opened and released the Bonds on every one of them.

• You see how I feel now? No flying, no magic. Just your very own hooves!

• You didn't handle us yet! - yelled Rainbow dash at him.

• You? Please! You are no match for me! And after exactly 23 minutes, you all wouldn't be either!- taunted the earth pony at them.

• I'll show you! - Rainbow Dash flew to Hase, ready to strike.

• Oh please! - said Hase with annnoyed voice, while shooting a web from some kind of pistol.

• Let me out! - yelled Dash

• Sticky web. So much you move, so much it tightens. Now stop moving and hear my side of the story! Or should I web you all?

• OK, folk. Let's hear ya! - answered Applejack with anger in her voice.

• Atleast somepony here is smart! I started from Canterlot. You all know, that Canterlot is the city of the unicorns. The simple earth ponies were considered a scum! I don't know how it is now, but that's how it was then.

Applejack's anger weakened a bit.

• I was the joker of all the students of the Canterlot school.A puppet ! I couldn't do anything! I couldn't make things fly, I couldn't teleport! That was untill I read an article in the newspaper. I still remember the faithful new on the first page.

" Another Royal Scientist fired. Princess Celestia starts a massive science fair. All inventors can sign up at the palace."

I hadn't heard anything else about science untill then. After I read a couple of books, I knew, that science is a kind of magic, that anyypony can master. That was my chance. And I didn't waste it. I used every free second I had to study. I even signed up for the science class at school, that nopony else visited. With my invention, a mini-sized flying mashine, that could carry muffins and cupcakes in the restaurants I took the 1st place! And the reward... The Princess gave me access to the Royal Library. That was my dream! Every day I skiped my magic classes, ran to the palace, and studied science!

     The years passed. I was no longer a young colt, I was a teen colt. I already knew almost everything about science. Then suddenly, the science books ended. I have read them all. When I appointed a meeting and I said her that, she just smiled:

• That means it is time to write your own books. Here and now, I appoint you for my royal scientist!

That was one of the happiest moments of my life! The future was mine. Because everything was achievable through science!

    Day after day, invention after invention, I reasoned my place unlike those before me. The only thing I dreamed of, was to be an unicorn,or even an alicorn, so I can combine the science and the magic and continue my triumphing path. And then...

• Yes, yes, the Princess told us the rest of the story! But how didn't her spell work? - interrupted Twilight the rebell.

Hase got a scanner of some kind from his belt and scanned Twilight.

• So you want to know that, Ms. Sparkle?

• Wait... How do you know my name?

• Cutie Mark Scanner. Scans the cutie mark of a pony and tells me it's name. One of my little useless inventions.

But let's return to your question. As the Princess might of tell you, the prison didn't stop me. But I am sure, she didn't tell you, because she didn't know, that I didn't land directly in the Everfree forest.

• You didn't?- Celestia was surprised

• No. Your guards surely hid this from you. First I landed in Cloudsdale.

• Cloudsdale? Why did you go in Cloudsdale? - Rainbow Dash was confused

• Because... Oh, sorry!- said hase while he sucked the net back. Than he scanned the blue pegasus. - because, Rainbow Dash, I needed something more for my research. I knew, that the alicorn trick wouldn't work twice. That's why I needed to be a pony, that is powerful enough to hold the power of the Elements of Chaos, but not an alicorn. The only solution is a landicorn.

• A what? - Rarity was even more confused than Rainbow Dash.

• A landicorn, Rarity. There is 1% chance the colt or the filly of a mother unicorn and a father pegasus to be a landicorn. You may also call it a winged unicorn or a pegasus with a horn. It's very rare. The only one, that ever existed, is Thunder Fighter.

• You mean the Thunder Fighter? The first Wonderbolt? - Rainbow was shocked.

• Yes. Him. Back then, he was still alive. But unlike the others, I knew he was a landicorn. I was one of his best friends. He was my only friend, that still loved me after the accident. While I sent a fake rocket to diverse the Royal Guards, all I needed to do for my plan to suceed was to take a sleepover by a friend and take a bit of his hair- DNA! When I flew to the forest, my first task was to load the DNA in the FDT: Fully DNA Transformer, to activate the cryo- chamber and to hibernate for 1000 years, while the mashine rebuilds my DNA into a mixture of those of the earth pony, the pegasus and the unicorn. Voila!

• But how didn't anypony find out, that Thunder Fighter was a landicorn?

• He always flew with a hat, that I specially constructed for him. He said everypony, that it is for aerodynamics. It really was, but it also hid his horn. Any more questions?

• Yes. Hase, what do you think you will do with the Elements of Chaos? - asked Celestia.

When they remembered for that, everypony got angry again.

• I don't have anything against you, Celestia, but my plans are to rule over Equestria and sharing the gift of eternal life to everypony. How's that for you?

• Not OK. What will you do with the population?

• Science will find a way.

• You go too far Hase!

• No, I don't. And by the way, it's time for me to claim my own immortality. Bye! - answered Hase and flew up laughing.

• Rainbow Dash, he shouldn't get those Elements! Stop him! - commanded Twilight, still caught from the Eternal Bonds as the other two alicorns, to Rainbow Dash.

• On my way! - answered Dash, while she quickly flew after hase.

• Not you again! - said Hase annoyed and fired a web at Dash.

• Miss, - taunted Dash at him - , you're too slow!

• I have no time for games! Get off my way!

• Yeah, and who will force me too?

Hase got angry. He switched his pistol and fired with the new one at the sky.

• How should that hit me? - laughed Rainbow at him.

While Dash taunted, Hase quickly scanned her with some kind of gadget.

• TARGET DETECTED! - spoke the gadget.

• What?

Suddenly 3 lightnings struck Rainbow. Than another, than another. She was quickly knocked out.

• What did you do to her? -yelled Rarity at him.

• Non-lethal lightnings. She will be OK. Now let me finish my buisness! - yelled Hase back at her.

• Never! - Luna was angry.

• Too late! - said Twilight as she saw, how the sky over Hase revealed a huge ball of energy.
