Twilight was in an incredibly good mood. After an extra two weeks of going over every last item of inventory, checking every page of the catalogs, double checking the index, and writing rather long letters to editorials all across Equestria; she was finally prepared to re-open her new library to the public. While the library had technically already been complete over four weeks prior by her ex-assistant now rival, she believed it only proper to give everything a once over to to make sure there were no hidden pranks or any such mischief. 
The purple princess felt it only fair, given her baby brother’s new position as public menace number two. It didn't help that his team had kept busy, pulling small pranks all across Equestria. 
The pink eyed pegasus would constantly cause the weather to go crazy forcing an entire weather team correct the issue. She's cause it to rain, snow, and hail all sorts of random things and turn clouds into random substances. She once turned Rainbow Dash's cloud house into soap bubbles. 
The red eyed earth mare would cause crops to grow out of control and go haywire, that would require the elements of harmony show up and zap the out of control plants to get them back to normal. She also had a habit of leaving these weird black apples out for ponies. Reports say that these apples to both taste funny and seem to have random effects simplular, to but more exagerated than, that of poison joke. Fortunately these effects went away by themselves after around four hours. 
Then there was the green eyed unicorn. She was constantly popping up in random towns, singling and getting people to do the craziest things. When the Elements finally shows up to stop her, she's nowhere in sight and everypony is back to normal. 
There was the time it rained hayburders. The Water Balloon Incident. The Noodle Incident. The time a village's supply of corn threw a hoedown. Then there was the event at the royal orchestra in Canterlot where they made every intrument sound like a kazzoo! It was all just so exhusting!

Now wasn't the time for all that though, now was the time for happy thoughts. Sitting in one of the armchairs, Twilight imagined the library full of adults browsing shelves, eagar children thirsty for knowledge, and even parents helping their foals pick out their first books. The thought of ponies sharing and gaining knowledge warmed her heart.
She was struck with a sudden realization. With her castle being mostly empty, there’s nothing preventing her from expanding on this library either. Knock down a wall or two and she could double its size. Take out a ceiling, and all of a sudden the library is three stories instead of two.
She bit her bottom lip just thinking about it; her library getting bigger and bigger, storing more and more books. She could have the largest library in all of Equestria. Why stop there though? Storing books is one thing, what if she were to start making them. Oh, her own library AND publishing plant? She felt herself getting hot under the collar at the thought of all those fresh new books, hot off the printing press. That new book smell. 
Twilight shivered a little, getting up and moving over to the librarian’s desk. The bookshelf behind it held her personal favorites. She lovingly stroked the spine of How To Not Be Wrong: The Power of  Mathematical Thinking. Twilight imagined making hundreds of these, thousands. Her breathing deepened as she thought about it.
A small voice interrupted her daydream “Hi Princess! I would like to borrow these books on advanced spell theory please!”
Twilight straighten her new clothes the best she could and quickly wiped her mouth when she realized she had been drooling a little. Thankful that her back was to the visitor she couldn’t help but give a small condescending smile, as the voice belonged to that of a little filly
“I’m sorry” she said without even glancing back at the one talking to her “but those books are way to advanced for little foals like yourself. They’re for much older and more powerful unicorn mages who’ve been studies for years and years. Without the proper training and tutorage you wouldn’t even be able to understand the content in those books. While I admire your enthusiasm, you need to begin with the basics. I’d recommend a copy of My First Spellbook for starters”
“Oh come on, We both know I can handle it. After all, I’m supposed to have all the power and knowledge you did right before your ascension.”
Twilight quickly turned around with a gasp, realizing who it was. “You!”
“Me!”
“You’re one of the Menace Masters….um….Symphony?”
“Mayhem. We’re the Masters of Mayhem. Also my name is Hymphonic”
“Oh, right”
Twilight watched in slight awe as Hymn grew before her eyes, going from a small filly to a young adult in a matter of seconds. “Was that some sort of illusion magic? It was very good”
“I can adjust how old or young I look. Just another perk of being an immortal lesser god. Anyway, about those books…” Hymn said with a smirk
“Look, I don’t think it’s a good idea…” said Twilight. A part of her felt bad for keeping somepony from gaining precious knowledge however another part didn’t want to give said precious knowledge to her new enemy. Such an internal struggle.
“Why not? It is because I’m a Master of Mayhem? You can’t prevent me you know. There's nothing stopping me from just grabbing these books and leaving but I'm trying to be civil. This is both a government building and public library, and anypony with a library card can borrow materials from here.” said Hymn with a hand on her hips and a ‘hmph!’
Twilight couldn’t help but grin. Hymnphonic slipped up and she got her!
“You’re right of course. Anypony with an OFFICIAL LIBRARY CARD is more than welcome to borrow books and materials. However, since you don’t have an official library card…”
Hymn calmly held out her hand, seeming pulling a card from thin air and showing it to Twilight, who could only stare and stutter. This card couldn’t be real!
She was half expecting some sort of trick, maybe Disarray authorizing a card behind her back, but this wasn’t a local library card. This was a special access government issued one. This card allows the bearer access to any library or archive across Equestria no questions asked. Only a handful of ponies though history had a card like this, mainly the royal family and various top scholars and mages such as Starswirl the Bearded; the first person to be granted such a card. Celestia had been very strict about who could be granted one; Twilight didn’t even get approved for her’s until after her ascension. How did Hymphonic get her hands on one?
“So, can I borrow those books now?” the shadow pony in question asked.
“I...um...I mean…” Twilight stuttered before collecting herself “I’m sorry, but since that card is obviously fake, I can’t allow you to borrow any books”
Without any hesitation, Hymphonic leaned over the desk and tapped the card against a clear flat crystal. The crystal shined white verifying the validity of the card and Hymphonic smirked “Seems real to me” she said, taking the books and placing them in a bag she conjured up with a flash of magic.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, we’re having a very important meeting and I’m already late because of this” said the emerald shadow mare.
“W-wait! How do you have one of those cards?!” Twilight practically screamed.
Hymn rolled her eyes  “It’s almost like I work for a being who can conjure up anything out of thin air…” With that, Hymphonic teleported away, leaving an irked princess.
“Well, looks like I’d better send a message to the girls and tell them we should probably prepare ourselves for some sort of trouble…and have a talk with Celestia about changing our system” grumbled Twilight, who couldn’t help but feel that her literary sanctum had somehow been violated.



Hymphonic arrived at the CMC clubhouse appearing as her old self, Sweetie Belle. It was a look that she more and more felt was just a disguise rather than who she was. Still, it came in handy when wanting to stay incognito. Looking around to make sure the older Apple siblings weren’t nearby, she quickly made her way into the old shack that served as their temporary HQ. The other Masters were already inside waiting for her.
“Took ya long enough Hymn. Ah started to think ya weren’t coming” teased Seed.
“And miss traveling to another reality? There’s no way!” Hymn responded, placing her bag of books on the table.
“What's up with the books?” asked Disarray, picking one up.
“Well, I’m supposed to represent the chaotic state of magic, right? You know, push the boundaries, inspire change, and all that. Well, sure I have all this knowledge and power, and with the training I’m getting stronger, but I wasn’t sure how far ponykind has gotten magic wise. I wanted to see the latest research so I can try to do things nopony has ever seen before” Hymn responded.
“You’re really taking this seriously” Disarray said with a smirk “That makes me glad”
Hymn blushed a little “well, of course I am, it’s my job after all” she said, taking the book from Disaray and putting it back in the bag, thankful Disarray didn't look through ALL the books she got. She didn't want to have to explain Flames of the Heart: A Beginner's Guide to Romance.
Before either of them could say anything else Maelstrom appeared, a huge smile on their face.
“Are my Masters of Mayhem ready to see their new workspace?” they asked.
The four cheered excitedly. Maelstrom had taken an extra few days to make sure everything was just right for them. The team could tell their boss was just as excited to show them The Company’s HQ as much they were excited to see it. The air itself seemed electric with exhilaration.
“Now, before we get going, I’m going to teach you all a new skill. A power you didn’t know you had” Mael said, floating over to the shack’s old wooden door. “It’s called Insanus Ianuam”
Grinning, Maelstrom opened the door. However, instead of being greeted by the pleasant Sweet Apple Acres they were instead hit with a wave of snow and cold air from the frozen north. Mael shut the door and opened it again, revealing a desert. They shut and opened it again, revealing a deep cave.
Closing the door a final time, they turned to their team “Also known as Crazy Doors, this power will allow you to open gateways to wherever you want in your universe; and when you get experienced enough, beyond it”
“That is so cool!” screamed Shadow and Seed.
Hymphonic was so excited she was shaking and Disarray kept looking from the door to his boss, a huge grin on his face.
“It’s really simple. All you have to do is concentrate your chaos magic onto a door or archway while visualizing where you want to go in your mind. For a door, just open it and presto, the door now leads there, regardless of how far away the destination is. For archways, it’s a little trickier because you won’t be able to see the destination, you’ll just have to walk through them to be instantly transported to it” Mael explained “This is a somewhat passive ability, so you can even set a door to a location and it’ll stay that way without you concentrating on it. All in all it’s very similar to a teleportation spell, except that instead of using your body as the starting point your making the door one and unlike a teleportation spell, there’s no real limit to how far you can go, or even how many doorways you can open at the same time. It’s perfect for people who can’t teleport for themselves or moving large groups of people around, say troops or something”
Hymphonic was so excited. This is exactly what she wanted, magic and spells beyond anything a normal pony could do. She walked up to the door and willed a bit of the chaotic power in her to her hand as she reached out and took the knob. She tried to picture a location but with so many interesting places to choose from it was slightly difficult to clear her mind and focus on one. She managed to focus on a thought of her and Disarray going someplace romantic and opened the door. Salty air hit her face as the sound of gentle waves tickled her ears.
“A Tropical island, very good Hymphonic! Who wants to go next?” Mael praised.
“Ah’ll give it a go!” said Bad Seed as Hymn shut the door and backed up. Seed walked up to the door and did the same, feeling the chaos magic flow to her hand as she tried picturing a location. She opened the door but was just greeted with the normal view of Sweet Apple Acres.
“Aw what gives? Ah did it right I thought…” sighed Seed
“Now don’t go beating yourself up. It’s takes a few tries sometimes before you get the hang of it” said Mael, giving Seed an encouraging pat on the back “go on, try again”
Seed nodded, and gave it another go. Nothing.
“Ah don’t get it…Ah’m just trying to open a door to the Everfree, it’s not even that far away!” she said, closing the door hard in frustration.
“Oh, I see the issue” said Mael, nodding slowly “It takes a skilled magic user to open doors where there are no doors. Hymphonic has an advantage over you because she’s both a unicorn and has had the practice focusing magic. Try, instead, to focus on another door someplace else and opening that. It’ll be much easier”
Seed nodded and tried again. When she opened the door she was greeted by the sight of her bedroom. Giggling, she closed the door and opened it again, revealing Applejack’s bedroom. Oh, this was fun. Closing the door a third time, she opened it to reveal the inside of the Apple family barn.
Applejack could be seen on the far side, moving barrel of apples over for storage until they were to go to market. Just out of happenstance, she turned around and saw Bad Seed peeking her head through the barn door.
“You!” the farmmare scream, charging at the doorway.
Bad Seed eeped and pulled her head back, quickly shutting the door behind her. Applejack got to the door and flung it up, running outside and looking around frantically for her rival. “Ah know yer out here! Come on out and face me ya no good Bad Seed!”
Back at the clubhouse, Seed gave a sigh of relief “Ah thought she was out in the fields, that was way too close..”
“Still, you did very good Seed. You just need a little more practice” Mael commented.
Seed smiled at her boss’ encouragement as Shadow bounded up to the door.
“Me next!” the shadow pegasus said, flinging open the door and walking through before anyone could stop her. After about thirty seconds she returned munching on a hayburger, closing the door behind her.
Mael chuckled and gestured to the drake “Ok Disarray, you’re up”
Disarray nodded and walked over to the door. He had been excited to learn new magic but now that it was his turn, feelings of inadequacy began to once again creep up in his mind. What if he messed up? What if he wasn’t good enough? Seed couldn’t do it at first, and she’s a pony, ponies are naturally magically gifted, not dragons.
Taking a deep breath he opened the door, revealing his room. He had done it. He actually did it and it wasn’t even that hard.
“Good, again” Mael said
Disarray nodded and closed the door, opening it again to reveal the royal archives in Canterlot.
“Again.”
Once again the door was closed and opened to reveal the streets of Manehatten.
Shaking their head, Mael moved over and pushed the door closed. Disarray looked towards his boss, expecting a proud smile, but only saw a disappointed frown.
Placing a hand on the drake’s shoulder, Maelstrom sighed “I don’t want you to open a door someplace else. I want you to open a door where there is no door”
“I can’t” said Disarray, looking down “I’m not that talented”
“Stop holding yourself back by thinking so little of yourself. You’re capable of so much more than you could ever imagine. I know it. I can see it, and I’m going to make sure you see it too”
The chaos god pulled the young dragon into a hug, softly saying “You spent your whole life being treated as if you were weak and helpless, when you were one of the strongest of all. So long spent looking up to ponies that you don’t even know who or what you are. Disarray, you are a dagon. One of the oldest and most magically gifted creatures in the multiverse”
Maelstrom let go of Disarray and gently pushed him towards the door “Now, open that door”
Disrarry took a couple deep breaths and dug deep in himself. He could feel the chaos magic that coursed through him, but deeper than that he felt something else, something just as ancient. This power felt...familiar. It felt like a part of himself he never knew was there. He took hold of it and it seemed to spark to life, spreading through him, mixing with his chaos magic. Disarray felt more power than he ever dreamt possible. It filled every inch of him, like a raging fire. The dark drake grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. The other Masters gasped. Maelstrom beamed with pride.
Outside the doorway was water, sand, coral, and all manner of sea life. Disarray had opened a door to the bottom of the ocean. Not only had had he opened a door, but the water was being held back as well. Not a drop slipped through as it rippled against an invisible barrier.
“Perfect” said Mael “Absolutely perfect”
Disarray smiled, tears welling up in his eyes. He did it. HE did it. On his own, with his own power, he did this. The young dragon felt something he had never felt before; true accomplishment.
Hymnphonic gave him a hug, one which he returned after a couple seconds of shock
“I knew you could do it, but this is incredible!” she said, releasing him after realizing they had been hugging for an awkward amount of time.
Disarray chucked abit, thankful that his black scales hid his blush.
Maelstrom closed the door and smiled “well, now that you all know how to get there, ready to see your new office?” they said before opening the door again, a bright warm light filling the room. The four looked through the doorway and gasped before following Maelstrom through, the door closing shut behind them.
Outside, running down the path, was Applejack, frantically looking in every direction
“I know yer hiding somewhere round here Bad Seed! Come on out and face me like a mare ya coward!”



The group found themselves in what appeared to be an insanely large lobby. Tall pillars of multicolored stone laced with veins of various glowing crystal pulsed with energy and towered high, floating off of a ground they realized wasn’t even there. The floor shifted and shimmered like the Aurora Borealis. One second it looked like the most beautiful polished marble, the next it looked like the softest of clouds. From the unseen ceiling a waterfall of liquid light fell into a large fountain, small rivers fed by the fountain trailed off to places far and unknown. There were no walls only infinite space and galaxies. More galaxies than could ever be counted formed nebulous clouds that rippled, shifted, and swayed as if dancing to some ancient song.
The Masters felt as though every second went on for a millennia, and a millennia a second. Every step they took felt as though they had stepped from one end of a galaxy to another. They felt tired and out of breath, but more full of energy and life then they have ever been in their entire lives. Seeing the confused yet awed looks on their team’s faces, Maelstrom chuckled.
“Your bodies and minds are getting used to being outside of your known reality. Outside of time and space. Outside of everything your cells know. You are now on a plane of existence mortals can't tred. Your brain is trying to comprehend what is going on. Let it, even if it doesn’t make sense to you. Don’t fight it. Embrace your divinity” they said, floating away across the lobby.
The Masters ran to catch up to their boss, noticing they were standing in front of six huge archways. Creatures of all types, both terrible and beautiful, were busy at work; moving out of one archway, disappearing into another. Maelstrom gestured to them all “There are nine main departments here at The Company” they began to explain, moving over to the first archway. Inside it the Masters could see the vast expanse of infinite cosmos. They watched stars ignite,  planets form and fill with life, and galaxies shaped.
“This is the Department of Life & Creation. Kind of self explanatory, but they are responsible for shaping all matter and energy in the realities. Kind of the factory floor if you will, they craft the universes of the multiverse. In a nutshell, they make all our toys” Maelstrom explained.
Bad Seed moved up to the archway, a soft smile on her face “So much life...Ah can feel it deep inside mah being. New worlds, new plants, all just waking up for the first time”
Mael smiled warmly “That’s your natural affinity to flora” they said to Seed, moving over to the second archway. Inside was empty, but not a cold emptiness. It was peaceful. Wisps kept flying past them into the archway.
“This is the Department of Death & Recycling. They do the hard work of breaking things down into raw matter and energy for the Department of Creation to reuse. They handle facilitating souls, either processing them for reincarnation, or if the soul desires, recycling the soul back into raw energy. They also keep records of every soul that has gone through processing”
The Masters took a step back at the mention of death, but looked once again through the void in the archway. Maelstrom continued talking “They keep to themselves most of the time due to their workload but most of the death gods are pretty friendly. However, don’t piss them off, they all tend to have a deep temper”
“Wicked…” Shadow Blitz said.
“What pisses them off?” asked Disarray.
“Raising people back from the dead after they’ve been processed is the quickest way to find a scythe blade shoved so far up your ass...ANYWAY, it takes roughly twelve to fifteen relative hours after a soul arrives that they begin processing. Processing can take anywhere between three months to a hundred years give or take. Anywhere in that time frame, you can take the soul and...do whatever with it. After that, however, it’s gone. Either in a new being, or broken down to energy. I mean, SURE you could put in a lot of effort and power to bring it back and do whatever with it. But all that paperwork? THAT’S what pisses off Death Gods”
Disarray and the rest of the team just nodded and moved over to the next archway. This one made them feel uncomfortable, twitchy, and itchy. The inside looked like an regular office building, cubicles and all. However, everything inside looked to...perfect. It was all too symmetrical. It was all to lined up to the nanometer. Everything was perfectly perpendicular to everything else. Everything was so...it was so…
“This is The Department of Harmony and Balance” Maelstrom said with a small sneer. “They’re in charge of keeping everyone else organized and in line. In other words, they make sure we’re all doing our jobs right. They keep Creation and Death creating and recycling at a constant rate, organize company events, and keep Chaos in check. They are also the keepers of The Archive; the largest database of knowledge in the multiverse. Any book, any parchment, any piece of music or media, if it exists anywhere in the multiverse, there is a copy of it in the Archive. They also keep copies of all records and paperwork from every department along with files and books full of divine cosmic knowledge. Now before you get any ideas, being in there physically hurts. Too much….organization. I’d also recommend you keep away from the Harmony gods, they are OCD to the max and annoying as all hell. Now let's move on, being so close makes my skin crawl”
The group quickly made their way over to the next Archway. They could see beings moving around inside, walking on the underside of stairways and upside down hallways. Things floated, or were reversed. Everything seemed to shift and change with every blink. To a common mortal, the sight before them would automatically drive them mad. To Team Chaos, the sight in front of them seemed to make them relax.
Giving a contented sigh, Maelstrom grinned “And this, my wonderful team, is The Department of Chaos! You already know what we do, so let’s get a move on to your new office!” they said, floating forward.
“Wait, what about those other two Archways?” asked Hymnphonic
“The Department of Light and the Department of Darkness. Both of them are lower, support based departments. Don’t really need to worry about them. Though, Darkness does help us out every now and again. As for what they do. I know Light assists Creation and Harmony, but I have no idea what Darkness does officially. They keep to themselves, and they are extremely secretive. Now, let’s go, don’t you want to see your new workspace?”
The Masters nodded enthusiastically as they followed their boss into The Department of Chaos.

The inside was even more insane than the glance from the archway. Hallways stretched and curved, twisted and changed. One side could be brick then turn into wood, the other marble then obsidian. You could be walking on shag carpeting only to look down and see you’re on grass. Oddly enough, instead of it all feeling off putting or weird, the Masters found it rather comfy, homey even.
Maelstrom stopped moving and turned to face their team, a serious look on their face
“Ok, listen carefully. There’s an important trick to navigating this place, and only us Chaos gods can do it. If you haven’t noticed yet, things here have a habit of changing randomly. If you don’t know what you’re doing you can and will get lost in here for several eternities, I’ve seen it happen”
The others nodded wide eyed, giving their full attention. Mael nodded back before continuing “The trick is to have a destination in mind. Know where you want to go and just go there. Don’t think about directions, don’t think about logic. Just know where you want to end up. Your chaos magic will sync with the natural chaos magic of this place and you’ll always end up where you want to go guaranteed. You can also use this trick to will this place to change and reform itself different ways. Think of it like the Crazy Doors but on steroids. Without knowing this, you’ll end up wondering around forever with no destination. You could even end up in a hallway with no doors”
Mael started moving forward, the Master keeping pace behind them.
“Just keep thinking about following me, you’ll always end up where I am, or where I’ll be” they said with a chuckle as they floated over to a nearby door and opened it. The team hurried inside, excited to see their new office but instead was just greeted by a subpar employee lounge.
A long snake being was taking a nap on an old couch and a two headed goat was sitting at a table talking to a small hummingbird. A large fluffy spider relaxed in a hammock hanging from the ceiling. 
Mael hovered over to a cheap looking coffee pot, the liquid inside was so black it seemed to be absorbing the light around it. With a smile they poured some into a paper cup, taking a long sip. “Ahhh Black Hole Brew, nothing like it. Any of you guys want a cup?”
“Ah’m not really a coffee drinker, how strong is it?” asked Bad Seed
“Let me put it this way. If a mortal were to drink a sip of this, they would never be able to sleep again” Mael answered, taking another sip.
“Ah’m good…”
“Suit yourself, Department of Darkness makes the stuff, so we have a literal unlimited supply. Anyway, let’s get to the office” said Mael with a smile, moving over to the door and opening it. Instead of it opening back out into the hallway it opened to a new room.
Its was like a huge luxury lounge. Large couches, several huge tvs, a jukebox, and many other amenities filled the room. To the right the words Arcade flashed in lights above an archway. To the left was a hallway leading to more rooms. The Masters couldn’t wipe the grins off their face.
“So, This is the main lounge of your new office. I'm of course using the term 'office' loosely, this is Headquarters for Team Chaos. You have several large TVs, I’ll let you figure out what they are and what they do. There are couches, mini fridges, a jukebox hooked to a surround sound system. Over on the far wall is a fully stocked bar. If you head down the hall you'll see that I added a large gym complete with training rooms, a library, a bathhouse complete with hot spring, personalized bedrooms for each of you, storage rooms for whatever, and a huge kitchen. Through that archway over there of course is the arcade which I stocked with thousands of games from hundreds of different consoles, some conference rooms, individual office rooms for each of you, and much more that you’ll have to find yourself” Mael said with pride “well? Don’t just stand around, go enjoy your new Headquarters!”
The Masters didn’t have to be told twice. Disarray made a beeline for the Arcade while Shadow Blitz flew to the kitchen. Hymphonic curiously went to go check out her bedroom while Seed plopped down on a couch to try and figure out what a TV was.



It took a few tries, but Bad Seed had managed to figure out EXACTLY what a TV was and why it was an wonderful devise. Shadow had joined her with some snacks and the two were watching a sporting event showing these colorful bipedal squid creatures competing to paint the arena or something. It was both confusing and entertaining.
In one of the training rooms Maelstrom stood before Disarray and Hymnphonic, both wearing a simple grey shirt and gym shorts.
“Ok, now, you both are very powerful by yourselves. But TOGETHER! Together you’ll be able to do things on my level” Mael said. ‘
The two teammates looking at each other then to their boss. Disarray had a look of determination on his face. If there was something the boss thought only he could do, he was going to do his best to do it. Hymnphonic also looked determined, but had a slight blush on her dark grey cheeks. There was something only her and Disarray could pull off, together.
Turning first to Disarray, Maelstrom continued their explanation.
“Disarray, you have the most raw power of any of your teammates. Not quite on my level, but stil nothing to shrug off. Remember, along with chaos magic, I boosted your normal magical levels to that of an elder dragon. However, you lack the ability to focus that power to perform complex spells. That’ll come with time and lots of practice but until then…”
Turning to Hymnphonic, they continued
“Hymn, you have all the talent and precision of a mage many times your age. You’ve taken to magic like a fish to water. I would argue that your understanding of the complexities of cosmic level magic put Twilight Sparkle to shame. However, while you have the control and knowledge, you don’t have the raw power needed to pull off extremely complex spells. You both see where I’m going with this?”
Looking at the both of them, they took Disarray's and Hymn's hands and places them together “together, one providing power, the other control, you’ll be able to pull off things normally only I could do in your world. No need to wait for me to pull of huge pranks, you all can do it on your own while I’m offworld” they said.
The gears were whirling in Disarray’s head. He had already thought up a new prank and knowing that he could pull it off whenever he wanted? He couldn’t help but grin. Maelstrom smiled at that grin.
“Use the crazy doors to get back to Equestria when you both are ready, I feel like you two are going to get up to some mischief” they said before leaving, heading back to the main lounge area.
Seeing the two mares relaxing on a couch, Mael plopped down next to them, watching TV as well.
“So, Disarray and Hymn might go pull off a prank on their own”
Bad Seed giggled "It’s ‘bout time Hymn got some alone time with Disarray. Also, Boss? Ah was thinking about who could join us. Ya know, to complete the team? Well, I think ah know somepony who’d be a perfect fit. Could ah go talk to them about it?”
Mael nodded “By all means, just don’t get in Disarray and Hymn’s way”
Seed grinned and got up, heading for the door “Ah won’t” she said, turning back to her old yellow and red self before opening the door to her bedroom in Equestria and stepping through.
Turning towards Blitz, Mael raised a brow “not going to go with them?”
“Naw.”
“Enjoying that TV huh?”
“Yup.”
“You know the gym has an aerial obstacle course and training area”
“That's nice...wait what?! Well why didn’t you say so?!” the shadow pegasus said before zipping off, leaving a grey gradient trail behind her.
Maelstrom only chuckled and changed the channel.
