::Max::

Waking up being prodded by a blue horse isn't exactly high on my to do list but hey it happened.

"Hey mister you gonna wake up and tell me why you're asleep underneath my house"

"Yes by all means lean on my wing that was broken all but one day ago"

"Oh sorry"

"Who are you" I said surprised looking at the small horse"

"Who am I. I, Am the one and only RAINBOW DASH."

"Insert crickets here" I muttered sarcastically

"Hey no need to be rude to the fastest flyer in equestria"

"Your species must have a hard time maximizing your speed your bodies are too large waaay too much air friction to maximise your speed"

"What are you talking about? wait are you an egghead. also you're a pegasus too."

"To answer your questions in order. You're an idiot. By your definition yes and shit"

"Answer my question"

"I said you're species shouldn’t be able to fly very fast as your bodies are too big"

"You calling me fat I’m gonna get you back for that"

And as such she proceeded to punch me in the gut still laying on my back I froze her and tried to fly off realising her hoof was on my wing. Pushing her off I shot out from underneath took stock of my new form and began working my new wings. Now not being a cruel being I had frozen that pegasus or whatever in a thin layer of ice and as such she had broken out and had taken off towards me at high speed, she flew at me and I sidestepped as I heard a sonic boom. Yes you heard it here first folks minature horses can create sonic booms.in any case she was gaining on me so I casually create copies and split off flying erratically worked. Until I flew into Mariah and was pummeled by the blue horse. And now to skip ahead. We had made our way out of the city after being chased by that insane mob after finding the horse from before lowering his head and glaring threateningly at Mariah after calming him down I noticed a small twinkle appear on the edge of a castle situated on top of a mountain which subsequently got bigger and bigger until i realised it was a form of magic being launched at us. blasting the area in front of us and leaving behind what I believed to be a hairy chinese dragon with wings in a large crater. I was about to comment when a pink horse showed up sprayed confetti everywhere and pulled cakes out of slipspace. Well not really but they weren't where she got them from seconds before she went there. Ran up gave me and mariah party hats and then came up in my face and asked if I was having fun.

"Who are you, where did this come from, why are you in my face and no" I said as the pink horse pushed further into my nose.

"I'm Pinkie Pie and I’m here with my apprentice to throw you a party"

The black horse outside the house called out "PINKIE I'M NOT YOUR APPRENTICE"

"Solar Flare yes yes you are my apprentice'

the black horse teleported over and sighed "We are partners I used to be your apprentice Pinkie"

"Pinkie equals originality overload"

~Max shut up, and help me find your sister shes gone~

"Three two one and were all dead"

As soon as Max finished his countdown cell flew through the tree (on fire) straight at Pinkie who pulled out a hose doused her, gave her a hug grabbed some cake and sat celeste on the plate. Solar flare walked over "That is my PARTNER pinkie pie. You three are to be kept informed of the entire situation we are two agents in one of the two branches of the equestrian secret service"

"I have a good friend in our sister team, and hes my apprentice"

Solar ground his teeth but said nothing.

"Lets get this thing up and out of here" I said

"Who Discord hes not a thing and he's awake"

"Well pinke you never cease to amaze let us begin this little tango" Discord started dancing with a doll of Pinkie "and tell me why did that pony up in canterlot react so badly to being put in a maze so far as to the point he blew a hole in the canterlot wall and flew off."

"Let me guess you are the god of being stupid"

"Chaos my good sir CHAOS"

"I hate being wet" grumbled my sister as she hopped back onto Mariahs head "Stupid other dimensions and stupid horse bodies"

"I like you" said Discord pointing his tooth at my sister "But trust me you can’t just get Pinkie like that" he threw the tooth a a tree with a carving of himself on it the tooth landed back in place and Discord jumped out of the tree.

"Discord why are you here aren't you meant to be doing somthing up at the castle" asked Solar

Mariah turned around and walked off Cell flew over and sat on my head. "That is the wrong question the question is who are you why are you here and why did you get blasted here."

"I am discord the living embodiment of chaos"

"and your insane" I grumbled

"who are you and more importantly how are you radiating so much magic, you're a pegasus right?"

"no"

"and you are"

"used to be human"

"and that is"

"you would have no idea"

"tell me"

"I’m leaving"

"Max can you get the water out of my feathers"

I freeze the water and drag it out of Celeste's feathers then proceed to throw it at Discord

"Discord go home. And Max stay here go inside make you and your sister feel at home, I'll go get your friend"

"You are the one who asked for the beating" I muttered

"I doubt she will. she could but I don't think she will"

"Arrgh this is going nowhere"

"Where's Pinkie"

This pointless conversation continued for another six minutes.

Until I froze everyone threw discord at the castle put solar inside let celeste down next to him went and found Mariah brought her back. and the following conversation ensued.

"Your sister is insane" Started Discord

"I'm right here"

"I know, and I mean that to both of you"

"I need more good help"

"No your not taking my sister with you Discord"

"Do I get a vote"

"Yes"

"I wish to stay with my brother"

"Why did you interrupt"

"Shut up"

"How could we manage that without a massive number of unicorns I doubt even your powers are that strong" Said solar and subsequently followed up with "Ponyfeathers ignore that"

"I hate it when she does that"

"You are a very odd group of ponies"

"DISCORD GO HOME"

"Why is no one ever interested in some good old chaos"

"Not the time"

~Ok we have a plan to track down Sol~

"Hey i'm back" called out pinke climbing through the window

~Just as were done really~

"Hello voice in my head do you want to be friends"

Mariah facehoofed.

"Pinkie right why are there five other sets of footsteps behind you"

"Discord I thought you were leaving"

"I’m just listening"

"Anyway I got my friends to come and help solve the problem"

Mariah facehoofed... again.

"Pinkie there is no problem we just need to make a house and find our friend"

As I said this another five horses entered through the door and one of which was the rainbow maned horse which I knocked out. she glared at me and said "race me now"

"Oh really"

"yes really"

"lets get this over with" I said stepping outside "rules?"

"none. just to the edge of ponyville and back"

"the edge of where?"

"The town you woke up in"

"ok no rules?"

"yes"

"good" I said as I was engulfed in a blue flame and transformed into my phoenix form.

"i'll judge If you want" said the purple one from back at the library

"hurry up" I said getting a bit impatient

"that is so weird hearing it from a bird"

I rolled my eyes

"3"

I got into position

"2"

Flexed my left wing

"1"

Thought about what I was going to do

"GO"

I took to the skies and immediately Rainbow takes advantage of my now smaller size and no rules rule. Tackling me down as I came up and forcing a bit of a drop in speed which was soon taken advantage of on my part. I began making walls midair in front of the pegasus slowing her to dodge them. If I could stop this pegasus from breaking what I believe was the sound barrier I could win and humiliate her. Finally catching up I grabbed onto the back of her mane with my talons, pulling her up and over my head before flinging her down below me into the forest which was of course a bad idea. the horse shot out from below me and tried to punch me in the gut a second time that day barely rolling out of the way I made duplicates she flew up from underneath obviously not having learned her lesson from before. I made an Ice gauntlet or wing brace thing whatever. ideally I would have flown at her and let the brace take the impact but in an ideal situation I'm not fighting a horse that flies at mach 1. Spinning in a corkscrew I created a vortex of ice from the braces around myself, Rainbow however was undeterred and flew straight at me. A bad idea as I was no longer where she thought I was. I shot out of the vortex as a clone flew in front of her to block vision as she grappled with the clone another took my place in the storm by this time we were over the settlement and had attracted the attention of a number of rather irritable pegasi. Who now decided to get my clones for disrupting their routine of ummm... cloud kicking. After they took out the six rainbow hadn't gotten they came after me and the boisterous pegasus. By this time I'd managed to fend off rainbow for the time being but taking out three is a mite difficult especially when your a lot smaller and lighter a well as the fact that hooves hurt when you get smashed in the beak and wings. and so I was beaten out of the sky. six times untill they found out I was switching with my clones, which is hard to keep creating new ones. we reached the edge of town by this point their "alliance" had disbanded and rainbow came shooting back at a signifficantly weakened me. attempting to punch (with her hoof) me in the wing they had managed to pummel as a group. The fact is that by this point im really tired and dont really have the energy to dodge. and so I used her own speed against her grabbing the mane and spinning her into a bakery that we happened to be passing after the dust cleared I saw a group of six normal horses, eight unicorns and ten pegasi staring out the window at me as I hovered outside the hole rainbow made in the wall. "well shi-"

And of course I was punched in the gut again. knocked to the ground this time I noticed that the rainbow one had left me to be pummeled by the ponies in line for a snack at the bakery named sugar cube corner. And being rather annoyed about being attacked by groups of horses, I do the only thing that come to mind. I create a blizzard and knock them all away after it dies down I realise I went a little overboard and now the entire town is coated in snow and I have inadvertently converted all of this town into phoenix haters. "just brilliant"

and now of course I can see rainbow hair sticking out of a snow pile taking this opportunity while im not being thrashed I take off and fly back towards the forest but not before being chased by an angry mob. And of course as I reach solars house and change back to my horse form I cross the line and rainbow shoots across a second behind me.

"Well congratulations I guess on winning but was covering the town in snow really necessary"

"NO I DID NOT DO THAT TO WIN"

"Why did you do it?"

"I was being pummeled by horses and used too much magic"

"wait wait wait" said the purple one interrupting my pleasant with cell "how did you a pegasus use magic not to mention the fact that would have made my self the element of magic go into a coma and leave celestia with a migraine for a good few months, also how in the name of tartarus did you turn into and back from a bird"

"I'm not a damn pegasus"

"Well you look it"

So I may of annoyed one of the horses after we got off topic by after saying I didnt like apples or fruit of anykind. However of this conversation and the time in this world I have discovered one thing. My ice armour looks awesome now. It's also effective to stop hooves from kicking me. At this point the orange one is sitting on the ground cradling her back hooves. setting up a wall in front of them I turned and walked back to the house. entering I asked of so politely "Where the hell is a bed"

"Someone's in a nice mood"

"I froze half of ponyville was it? got pummeled by half the population and won a race so yeah i'm in a bad mood"

"He also nearly broke the orange ones hoof" called out celeste walking back into the house after melting the wall outside

"You actually went hoof to hoof with applejack"

"No she kicked him when he put ice armour up"

"Damn"

"APPRENTICE I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE" came a call from the cellar

"goddess damnit. PINKIE I'M NOT YOUR APPRENTICE"

"what is the deal with that apprentice thing"

"long story I'll tell you when I get back"

Solar walked off down the hall and down the stairs to his cellar. leaving me Cell and Mariah who was reading a book to our own devices. "I still don't know where a bed is" I grumbled

~ Fourth floor down. Third hallway. Fifth door on the right.~ Mariah continued reading.

Walking down the same stairs Solar went down I realised this was nothing like our old home. It was near identical minus all the specific habitats but a massive open room underground with a forested over area and lake. And so instead of going down there where pinkie was wearing some kind of steampunk jacket working on a weird machine. I followed Mariahs directions and when I reached the room instantly collapsed.
