(3rd Person POV)

Rainbow Dash groaned as she woke up. She didn't remember much after she woke up from her first blackout, but she did know that her everything hurt.

She was covered in bruises and bite marks, and her fur, mane and tail had several sticky spots in them. She hated thinking about it, but she had a pretty good idea about what those spots actually were, and the thought made her shudder.

All she did remember, was Twilight suddenly beginning to dominate her, and then turning into this black... thing that looked mysteriously like a cross between a Unicorn and a Changeling. This thing, had creepy empty eye-sockets with glowing yellow orbs as pupils, a dark red mane and tail with black fur, but weirdest of all, was the necklace she was wearing. It bore a striking resemblance to an Element of Harmony, just with an orange gem that she'd never seen before. The gem was glowing with power, and appeared to be feeding the creature it's... Unnaturally long stamina.

'Wait... Omigosh! I have to go tell Twilight!' She thought to herself, and started to weakly gallop towards the library. She didn't it very far.

(Golden Oaks Library) 
"So... L-let me get this straight, auntie..." Princess Cadance said slowly. "There are these..." She began, pointing to the Elements of Harmony. "...And then there are... The Elements of... Chaos?" She asked Celestia. 

Celestia nodded gravely. "Yes... Although, before we go any further, I'd like all of your friends here Twilight." She said to the lavender Alicorn.

Twilight looked around. Applejack was here, and so was Rarity, and Fluttershy had arrived only a few minutes ago. 

That still left Pinkie and Rainbow unaccounted for, which was strange, because Pinkie never misses a gathering of any sort, and Rainbow wouldn't miss something like this to save her life!

Quite suddenly, a pink blur shot through the door, and hoisted a very beat up R.D. onto the table.

Pinkie's mane had depoofed a little, and her eyes were puffy and red. She had been crying.

Rarity and A.J. rushed forward. "Pinkie Pie, darling, whatever ha-" Rarity froze, and both she and Applejack both wrinkled their noses at a certain stench Rainbow had.

Twilight turned to Princess Celestia. "What happened to her?" She asked.

Celestia lowered her head. "It appears to me, that Rainbow Dash has had an encounter with one of the Elements of Chaos. Gluttony..." She said, casting a spell on Rainbow. 

The stench vanished, and the bruises and bitemarks that covered Rainbows body faded. She was squeaky clean now, and sighed peacefully in her sleep.

Quite suddenly, a pegasus burst through the door. His body was white, and one wing was white, the other was blue however. His eyes were two-tone. One being emerald green, the other being stormcloud grey.  His tail was a greyscale rainbow, but his mane was two shades of blue. 

Strangest of all though, to Twilight, was the cutie mark the pegasus occupied. It looked like Split Second and Blue Lightning's cutie marks combined into one solitary cutie mark.

Applejack took a step back. "Who the hay ar-"

"Split Lightning!"

(3rd Person)
As the seven ponies looked around at each other, Discord felt as if he'd just armed a supercharged nuke from the human world, and felt as if it were about to blow up in his face. The atmosphere was that. Tense. Believe when he says, that he loves a good batch of chaos, but if this went wrong... Well, that would mean failure, which IS NOT an option.

Anyways, the Elements had changed a few ponies on his team in some ways. 

For instance. Puddle Jumper, (Or PJ, as Discord called him) was now older.

When Greed sealed itself onto his neck, PJ began to grow. He went from a colt, to a stallion in just a few seconds.

Last Minute and Red Thunder sat close to one another, and looked around at everypony. Red had the Envy Crown on, and for good reason. He'd literally burn away if he didn't have something or somepony sustaining him.

D.B played with her necklace, having a satisfied smirk on her face as she did so.

PJ was making mini-portals and sending objects like quills and scrolls through them.

Dark Tendencies was carving a skull into the table using his dagger, and had dried blood stains in his fur and feathers.

Shade Shadow was writing out strategies and plans of attack on a blackboard in the front of the room.

Lastly, Staniel was checking his reflection in his mirror.

Somepony finally decided to break the ice though.

Last cleared his throat. "So... I guess I'll go first then... I'm Last Minute, and this is Red Thunder. I guess together we make the Element of Envy, which is also the controller of the Elements of Chaos. Envy rivals Kindness, which happens to be Fluttershy." He said.

Red snorted. "Piece of cake." He said smugly.

D.B stopped playing with her Element. "I'm Demon Beauty, but call me D.B. I rival Magic, which is Twilight Sparkle. My Element is Gluttony, which is basically Lust considering what I truly am." She said.

PJ looked up at her, raising a brow.

D.B stood up, there was a flash of green light, and when it died, there was another PJ in the room.

"A Changeling! A mutated changeling, but a changeling none the less!" Discord said happily.

D.B rolled her eyes and sat back down. 

Dark Tendencies coughed. "I'm Dark. Dark Tendencies. I rival Laughter... Or Pinkie Pie, but I guess I represent the Element of Cruelty." He said with a sadistic grin, then went back to his carving.

PJ sighed. "I'm Puddle Jumper. I'm the Element of Greed, rivaling the Element of Generosity, or Rarity." He said, then started playing with portals again.

Staniel gave a sniff. "Staniel, and the Element of Pride. I rival Honesty, or that idiot farmpony Applejack." He said, then looked back at his mirror.

Shade Shadow didn't turn from the chalkboard. "I'm Shade Shadow, but just Shadow is fine. I am the Element of Sloth, rivaling Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty." He said.

Discord sighed in relief. "Now that we're all acquainted, and the tension has eased a little, can we get around to our first plan of attack?" He asked.

Shadow turned and faced the group, smirking. "Of course." He said, looking at Red and Last. "For neither pair can live, while the other survives!"

(3rd Person)
Split Lightning stood guard in front of the sleeping Rainbow Dash, not letting anyone except Nurse Redheart close.

The nurse checked Rainbow's vitals, and then gave her verdict to Celestia, who sighed in relief as Redheart packed up and left.

Split Lightning looked up. "Is she-"

"She'll be fine. Maybe a little traumatized, but she'll overcome it and make a full recovery."

Split sighed in relief. 

"Uhhh... Guys? Now may not be a good time for relief..." Said the terrified voice of Spike. "Look!" He said, pointing out the window.

Twilight looked outside, towards where Spike was pointing. She gasped. "What are those things?!?" She asked.

There were two green... Things, racing across the sky towards the town, leaving green trails across the night sky. Judging by their speed, Twilight calculated they would be here in less than a minute.

Celestia, Luna and Cadance tensed. 

"Envy..." Celestia whispered.

Twilight shuddered. She felt it too. An intense, burning desire for power and control, emanating from the two objects.

Twilight found herself soaring out before anypony could stop her.

Upon impact with the ground, the objects were revealed to be Last Minute and Red Thunder, as she recognized. They looked and grinned as they spotted 

"Princess!" Last said.

"How wonderful to see you!" Red added.

The lavender alicorn simply narrowed her eyes as the Crown of Magic appeared on the top of her head.

Last narrowed his eyes too. "I see. 'Straight to the chase' then?"

Red smirked. "Have it your way then! A little help boss?!" He shouted.

There was a snap, then a bright flash of light. Twilight had to avert her eyes to avoid getting blinded.

When the light died, there was only one pony standing where the two had been. A unicorn, Twilight thought, that is until the pony extended it's wings.

Twilight gasped. "Impossible!!!"

The newly created Alicorn grinned as a crown similar to the one she had on her head appeared on this pony's head. This crown however, was shining black, with red and green gems. 

"Now... How about a little duel, princess!" They spat the last word, making it sound incredibly insulting.

Twilight hated it when ponies used her title to make fun and tease her. She huffed and got into a battle ready position.

The alicorn across from her, took a battle ready stance as well, then quickly fired his first spell. A simple disorientation spell, as Twilight calculated.

She simply threw up a shield and blocked it, then teleported behind the alicorn and fired a life-draining spell. 

The apposer jumped up to avoid being killed. The red and black alicorn that was formerly Red and Last narrowed it's eyes. "Okay then... Shooting to kill, are we?" 

His horn lit up green with dark magic, and spells started flying. 

After several minutes of continuous spells flying back and forth, both alicorns were severely drained of energy.

As a last resort, Twilight lit up her horn with an obliteration spell, but hesitated.

The apposing alicorn just narrowed his eyes. "Go ahead, Princess... Make my day... End my suffering..." He threatened.

The lavender alicorn hesitated more, then sighed and her horn stopped glowing.

"Heh... I knew you wouldn't do it... You're too soft..." Said the red and black alicorn. "You should know that I'm not though." He added.

Several things happened at once.

Red Minute fired the very spell that Twilight had been about to fire, and her guard was down. She wasn't going to be able to block it. 

Then, out of the blue, a blue and white streak flashed in front of her, taking the full frontal force of the spell.

When Twilight opened her eyes, she saw Split Second and Blue Lightning on the ground next to eachother. Alive, just separated.

She sighed in relief, but there was a snarl of rage, and the relief vanished. It was only because she recognized that voice.

"Discord?!" She shouted in disbelief.

The said draconequus appeared above Split and Blue, seething with rage.

"I think you two have earned yourselves, a one-way ticket to banishment!!!" He snarled, a mirror appearing in his hands.

Twilight's heart leaped into her throat. She knew that mirror.

Discord raised the mirror above his head.

"NO!!!" Screamed all four princesses, rushing towards the three.

Discord brought the mirror down upon the two, but Split buck kicked Blue out of the way at the last second.

The mirror came crashing down upon Split Second, and it shattered upon impact with the ground.

Split had disappeared, and Blue had began to drag himself weakly back towards the library.

"What have you done, Discord?!" Princess Celestia shouted.

Discord sneered. "I took care of a problem, Celly." He said, then vanished along with Red Minute.

Twilight, along with Applejack, helped get Blue inside.

Oh Split... I hope Sunset can help you get back soon... She thought to herself.

(?????)
(Split's POV)
All I remember was the mirror coming down on top of my head, then a swirl of colors at the same time I felt as if I was in a taffy-puller.

Then I came out in sunlight, and landed on my back. I could hear whispers around me, but I didn't pay attention until I heard 5 familiar voices. I kept my eyes closed. 

"Oh dear, not another one..." Said somepony with a dainty accent.

A high pitched one giggled. "He's cute!"

A tomponyish voice that made me blush said, "Gotta agree with Pinks on that." 

A timid yet cute fouth said, "He seems to be pretty beat up..."

A fifth southern accented said, "Yah reckon he's from your world, Sunset?"

One I didn't recognize responded. "I have no doubt in my mind, AJ."

As I opened my eyes, I was greeted by five... 'Humans?!' I thought to myself. 

Then I realized who five of them were. A strangled, "No w-way!" escaped my lips.

The one I didn't recognize, Sunset, I assumed, kneeled down and helped me up.

"Hello," She said. "my name is Sunset Shimmer. Welcome to the human world."
