"Thank you for coming girls. It is...good that you could make it," Celestia started off.
"Discord again?", Twilight responded.
"Sadly, yes. While I do not doubt his change for the better, he still has his juvenile sense of humor," Celestial looked sadly to the floor.
"Don't worry Princess, he'll be back to normal in NO TIME!", Pinkie happily jumped up, confetti flying from no decernable source.
"I have a bad feeling about this", Twilight thought to herself.
"Thank you girls! I just want him to stay out of trouble. You know how things can escelate," the Princess motioned to Luna, who was sitting on her throne in the next room.
"I understand Princess," Twilight spoke up. " We'll not use the elements as long as we can, but if he provokes us..."
"I know."
"Yeah, we'll go easy on him!", Rainbow reassured.
After much conversation and instruction, the girls left the castle and headed to Ponyville.
"Where was Discord seen last?", Applejack asked.
"Celestia said no pony actually saw him, but the chaos he's spread was about halfway between Fluttershy's place and Sweet Apple Achres."
"A little close the the Everfree was it not?", Rarity added.
'Cl-cl-close to th-the Everfree F-Forest?!", Fluttershy yelped and jumped behind Rainbow Dash.
"C'mon Shy, we've been there multiple times before. It can't still be that bad!", Rainbow Dash moved out from in front of Fluttershy.
"Maybe not for you, but I'm still terrified!", she cover her head with her hooves.
"It's okay Fluttershy. We're here with you," Twilight held out a hoof to her.
"O-okay...I'll come," Fluttershy took the hoof and pulled herself up from the ground.
"Now, we need to see what Discord's up to," Twilight resumed her path towards their destination.
The six ponies walked for about another thirty minutes.
"So...Twilight. What if we have to use our elements? Princess Celestia seemed emotional about it. I don't know how she'll take it," Rainbow Dash spoke up.
"Well Rainbow. Our elements are not here as a first resort. I doubt we'll need to use them."
"But what if...?"
"I don't know. Celestial told me that if I needed to use them...I had to. While I don't like to dwell on it, there is the possibility that he has changed."
Fluttershy's eyes went wide when she heard her friends' conversation.
"Um, Twilight. What do you think the odds are that Discord has changed?", Fluttershy quietly asked.
"Oh Fluttershy. I don't really think he's changed. It's just a precau-"
A massive explosion gripped the ponies' immediate attention. Smoke poured infront of them.
"Hello ponies. Have you come to share in this wonderful moment?", the voice came from an unknown source.
"Who's there? Show yerself!", Applejack shouted.
"You don't know who I am? The god of chaos?"
"Fluttershy spoke up. "B-b-but Discord has a d-d-d-different voice. Is this another trick D-Discord? Please don't lie to me," she smiled into the smoke.
"Trick? Yes! Discord? No!", the booming voice echoed out at them.
The voice was filled with power and strength. It didn't sound anything like Discord's usual ominous sarcastic voice. The voice sounded sadistic, and it shook Fluttershy to the very core.
"Not Discord? Who are you then? Show your face!", Rainbow Dash shouted at the smoke. "I'm not afraid of you!"
"Which one?", the voice replied sadisticly before revelling its lion head.
Another head, that of a dragon popped out of the smoke, then a goat head appeared.
The six ponies began to back away slowly.
"How many of you are there?",Twilight slowly asked.
"Oh, just the one," the lion head spoke up.
"Yes, we are one in the same," the goat head spoke, in a slightly higher form of the voice.
"And I am your worst nightmare!", shouted the dragon head in a much deeper voice.
The creature revealed its shoulders, which held up all three heads, the lion head in the middle with the goat head to the left and the dragon head to the right of it. It then began to slowly walk out of the smoke, slowly revealing more and more horrifying features. It had wings with spikes lining them, the hind legs of a ram, and a snake for a tail. As he came out of the smoke completely, he continued.
"Discord failed to do what I am here to see accomplished. Spreading chaos throughout the multiverse. This world has been the only world untouched by chaos for hundreds of years! We sent Discord, thinking that his stubborn, narcissistic thirst for chaos would bring about our goal. However, when the Princess sisters used the elements of harmony and turned him to stone, we thought all was lost. That was until a certain group of fillies came by and showed the chaos strong enough to give him the strength to break free," each head took turns speaking.
"We already know what happe-", Rainbow Dash began but body was turned to stone where she hovered.
The chimeric being's snake tail grabbed her and threw her against a tree.
"Hey-", Applejack began but a rope tied her to the same tree.
"SILENCE!"
The remaining four ponies looked on in fear.
"Now where was I? Ah yes. And then you came along, and reformed him with your friendship!", he spat the word.
The dragon head began to speak. "He has failed the council, and shall spend an hundred years in torment for it!"
"And your elements of harmony are useless against me!", the goat head shouted.
The snake head coiled around and looked from one pony to the other. "Where are they hiding?", his eyes focusing on Twilight's brief case. "There!"
The snake head opened its mouth and sucked in air. The brief case flew through the air and landed in its mouth.
"You will not need these where you're going," the lion head mumbled.
"My name is Havoc, and this is your test!", the dragon head shouted.
He held up his paws and all six ponies flew in circles around him, and all four heads spoke in unison as loud gusts of wind blew wildly about them.
"All six of you shall have a test. Each of you will use your elemental gift to fulfill this task. Fluttershy, you must use your kindness to mend the broken world you will be given. Rarity, you must band with an alien species and use your generosity to end the war between them and another alien species. Applejack, you must use honesty to help a rebellion win their country back. Rainbow Dash, you must be loyal to the allies you are given and stop the war between them and another race. Twilight Sparkle, you will use magic to become the villain of Equestria. Pinkie Pie, you will have to mend a broken world with laughter. If these tasked can be accomplished, you may keep your own world. But if not...", all four heads smiled wickedly.
All six mares gasped in shock.
"Become the villain?!", Twilight thought to herself.
Havoc glared over at Rainbow Dash and shouted in all voices. "Oh you could't even try!", his words dripped acid.
All of his heads' eyes glowed bright white and portals opened up behind each of the ponies, who were floating in a hexagonal shape around him, and he shot Rainbow through hers.
He turned to Fluttershy and muttered, "Oh no child, this will be much worse than aweful."
He shot Fluttershy through hers.
"Now be gone!", all the rest of the ponies flew through their portals save for Twilight.
He looked dead at Twilight and Muttered, "Yes. The villain.", and then he threw her through her portal.
