//------------------------------// // Chapter 01: Starting Out...Small // Story: Speak Not, The Chaos Words // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Speak Not, The Chaos Words Chapter 01: Starting Off…Small The scenery opens to the Room Where Nothing Was as the Apocalypse Ponies are all gathered in the room. They sat in their throne seats to begin things by looking over a magic viewing portal of some recent events; like Warring Malice’s battle to even the event of what Ms. Moon did to Boris before Trixie intervene. The thirteen members had to figure out what they were gonna do about handling the heroes of Equestria. “We are gathered because from previous reviews of some of any members’ recent task, few have shown some….disapproval ratings.” The Superior spoke in addressing the issue as he spoke a certain tone about things; mostly around Warring & Trix’s area. “Hey-hey, I already gave my case if it’s about the time I went to fight the Mane Six.” Warring Malice held up her hooves in stating about from her assigned task of taking out the heroes was settle already. “And if it’s about Twilight Moon, I made sure that the one who got in her way was myself as Trixie Lulamoon, not Trix Lulamoon.” Trix made a stern face in stating what she had done in order to settle matters in which she didn’t reveal her separate identity to anyone; especially after the issue with Twilight Moon using Boris some time ago. “Hugh, so today’s meeting, what should we do that can be an evil plan for our enemies?” Suffocator Jill sighs in feeling like this may take a while to discuss. “Oh-Oh; What if we get a BIG Elephant in a Room where our targets are and flatten them into cupcakes!” Psycho Pie waved up her front sleeve in making a suggestion; even though it was the weirdest suggestion yet. “Ah think 'dat’s a great idea!” Liarjack responded with an obvious lie about what she was actually wanting to say. “Ugh, that idea is more stupid than crazy!” R. Chaos groans to slap her forehead, that idea about getting an elephant was just plain stupid. “And the cost of feeding an elephant, I wouldn’t spend a penny for a peanut!” Crarity protest in stating her greedy stingy nature of ever thinking they have to feed such a large animal; never. “Hugh, could we forget the elephant issue and focus, we need to eliminate Twilight and her group!” Wilco sighs in feeling this was making them lose track, they need something to get rid of their enemies. “But it seems they have been getting some new help around some corners!” Starven Fran exclaimed to say this in what they have seen thus far of the Mane Six’s progress from recent viewing. “Yes, now that they have the Rainbow Palace in the center of Ponyville, they’ll have means of better fortifying their defenses.” Twilight Moon stated that with Ponyville, becoming like the new Rainbow Kingdom, a castle is the best fortified place to have town folks evacuate to in case of danger in the area. “So then why don’t we go out and finish them? I want them to suffer a cruel agonizing death!” Fluttercruel stated out in why they aren’t just going forth and try to kill off their enemies quick and maybe a slow painful death. “As much as that would be amusing, they have a few powerful allies. And they’ll know we’re coming at them as the element users of harmony & Ben Mare will be on their guard.” Deadly Rager stated off calmly in stating they had forgotten, the Mane Six and Ben Mare have gotten stronger allies to help them out, if they attack, they’ll surely counter. There seem much discussion about how they need to find a way to attack and weaken their enemies. There was still much about working out more result test with the Dark Elements Of Harmony as well as to understand how to handle the Mane Six with their Rainbow Power. They need something truly unforeseen in order to get a more grasp of controlling the situation so that in due time….none can withstand them. “Hmmm, maybe we’ve been at this whole thing all wrong.” R. Chaos spoke out firstly in starting to sound like she had something to which she smiled to. “Maybe instead, we shouldn’t focus on the main group, but another that just hardly gets any attention.” She pointed out something that they have been focusing too much on one bigger picture, instead of something a little more….off screen. “What are yew talking about?” Liarjack raised an eyebrow in not following what her colleague was even getting to. “I’m talking about some little misfits who just ‘happen’ to have a hold of a being who’s now the purest form of what was once, the evil of Discord.” R. Chaos explained forth the subject, that some misfits have within their grasp, what maybe all that is the evil of Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. “Discord; But he’s reformed now. And after the event with Tirek, I don’t think he’ll lose having friends.” Trix raised an eyebrow in sounding with much disbelief in thinking Discord can ever be turn back to evil; he has now what he never had and that’s friends to which he won’t lose again. “Hold on, I think I see where she’s getting at. If memory serves right, before Lorcan was defeated, he separated Discord’s body and soul.” Warring Malice spoke in recalling a little event that involved Lorcan when he was the Scarred Ruler and when he backstab the Brotherhood, he turn Discord’s body to stone after separating the guy’s soul. “Heehehhe, right, and that left his soul sounding like a chipmunk.” Psycho Pie giggled for evil joy in knowing what the soul ended up sounding like, it was both funny and cruel at the same time. “I enjoyed seeing such a cruel act on him, it was amusing.” Fluttercruel smiled off in having enjoyed seeing an imprisoned soul sound like a chipmunk, what a cruel act to perform. “So while the body was freed, and a bunch of other crazy stuff happens, Discord started to lose his rampage urge of being evil.” R. Chaos waved off in getting to the major point of what happened with Discord’s stone body as he started to change when all of his evilness was taken out. “He’s not as when Smaug The Great used him against them Flutter Ponies.” She pointed out a great history that even the Superior held his chin to recall that event very well. “So then, the soul in the sphere is more likely all of his contain evil.” Deadly Rager stated off in coming to terms that now the only remains of what was the evil Discord is trapped inside a soul sphere. “But then where is it and how do we even get it?” Starven Fran asked off in not knowing where that trapped soul of evil is, so how can they obtain it? “Lorcan hid it, only he would know!” Wilco exclaimed to say that only Lorcan hidden that soul and only he ever knew of its location. “But how did you know his evil soul left its hiding place?” He asked his fellow colleague a good question, how did she know any of this. “I know where it is & because, you forget I’m someone…who has a real connection to Chaos Magic.” R. Chaos responded off to just say this stuff out here to the rest. “What say it Superior, will you give me a shot to help awaken a new ally to our cause certainly it feel familiar with you.” She spoke off in having a known feeling, having a Discord whose TRULLY evil, would make even her leader feel like it’s something from old since he had a connection under his own reasons. “Very well, I shall give you this task.” The Superior nods slowly in giving this assignment to R. Chaos to perform it. “You do know, she’s the Disloyal Traitor, right?” Crarity raised an eyebrow from her hood in sounding like the decision was a bit un-wiseful. “No worries, she needs us, and she knows….not to betray us for her own life.” Suffocator Jill pointed out that R. Chaos needs them and if she betrayed them….it would not be pretty. “Then with that, and with our leader’s permission, should she try to finish off our enemies?” Twilight Moon spoke in bringing a suggestion to the meeting of members. Course Trix found that idea a bit terrible, but couldn’t say anything. “Sure, I could…” R. Chaos was about to say ‘yes’ to that, but… “No….” The Superior spoke with a firm tone in issuing such an act won’t be needed. “Hugh?” R. Chaos raised an eyebrow, even Trix and a few others were surprised; why can’t she kill off the heroes? “This plan of yours involves bringing in a new ally and it’s focus is not on our enemies so they cannot interrupt it. Therefore, your mission, will to scout and cause unseen problems…until you’ve helped free the evil soul of Discord.” The Superior informed R. Chaos that her mission objective, is to work in stealth, cause a disturbance in helping to get the evil soul of Discord, and not draw attention to them. “Question, how can she free Discord’s evil soul?” Trix raised an eyebrow in thinking that was the main concern; Lorcan trapped the evil part of Discord, so how can anyone besides him free it. “Heheheeeh, with a secret way in using words I can’t say, but I can sure use for others to use instead.” R. Chaos laughed off with an evil sly tone that could make her sound a bit…like a trickster. The scene grows dark afterwards with unforeseen eyes under R. Chaos’ hood; Eyes that state that they have a way to perform the evil deed of freeing the soul, and what a way to perform it so. The scene ends here with some new mysterious about to be added to the picture. ---------------- Back at the Rainbow Castle in the center of Ponyville, the Mane Six, Ben, Spike, Phobos and Nyx were helping out with any chores or request. They still have to help get their new palace ready for anything, and Twilight was having another meeting with her Council Of Friendship. “Latest reviews. Our funding taxes….our material & rash food supplies are low…and a donkey named Louis got beat up.” Rarity went over the list of things to look over, especially the last one that was weird. “Hey, de donkey thing was somethin’ mah cousin Tough grabbed off thinkin’ dat was his toothpick. Honest mistake when he didn’t look first.” Applejack protest in stating the last one was an accident that happened by coincidence. “Boy did that become the most confusing issue to settle! And I’ve seen weirder things!” Pinkie Pie spoke off in thinking that was a weird thing to handle back than. “Uuuuuagh, Twilight, aren’t there any FUN things we can do?” Rainbow Dash sighs in feeling like they are doing nothing that’s as exciting to interest her. “No Rainbow, as a council member, we have to take our jobs seriously.” Twilight spoke firmly in explaining what they are to do, they aren’t here to have fun. “Oh yes, and even that donkey named Louis who was visiting Cranky, seem like he wasn’t so happy.” Fluttershy spoke in concerns over what happened to the donkey, they had much to do for the poor fella. “And moving on, let’s see….” Rarity spoke from going over a list she had of the things to cover. As the Council of Friendship was going on, the others that were helping around the area to notice how serious things have gotten. “Man, seems like they have it rough.” Nyx spoke off to say in seeing how things are developing. “Who, the donkey named Louis?” Phobos asked off in thinking up the wrong subject. “No, about what other things mommy and my aunties are trying to do.” Nyx stated to Phobos over the other matter of the subject. “Right, we’ve had some crazy run ins, even crazier than before.” Spike rub the back of his head in knowing that much was true. “Sorry we had to have you miss going to school Nyx, but hopefully Miss Cheerilee accepted our note of apology.” Ben spoke to Nyx in knowing he had his daughter stay home from school to help them around the castle. “That’s okay daddy, I’m happy to help out here.” Nyx smiled off in not minding the matter at all actually. “Who did yah send with the message?” Spike asked off in who Ben sent to give word that Nyx would be out today. “The new guards, Fred Flintstoneward & Barney Rubblestone,” Ben smiled off in stating he sent their new Rainbow Kingdom Royal Guards with the task. “The comedian duo,” Phobos raised an eyebrow in hearing those two names, they know them already and they are just as funny to deal with as he is. “Hey, they’re alright guys, I have to say, when I took Twilight on our date, you guys pick out some good guards.” Ben smiled off to say that those of the Mane Five did an alright job in interviewing some new guards for their kingdom. “I think they have just the right personality to help Twilight not be so stressed out.” He stated that those that could help give a laugh or two, and are like one’s regular Joe type of guys is better than some strict book soldier case persona. “Guess they are good at another job too.” Spike shrug off to say in never thinking it like that way before. “Hugh, I hope my friends aren’t feeling too lonely right now.” Nyx sighs in feeling that she is kinda missing out in hanging with the CMC about now. “Don’t worry, once we settle things here, maybe you can go hang with them, kay Nyx?” Ben patted his kid on her back to encourage her that once they are done, maybe she can go see them. “Okay daddy!” Nyx chirp up a bit in liking the sounds of that idea very, very much indeed. “What do you mean NO?” Rainbow’s voice was raised up that earn attention from what the others were doing. “Like I said Rainbow, we can’t put hidden arsenal in ponies’ homes, what if children get into them?” Twilight protest of the thought that every citizen has such dangerous weapons, what if they lay it around and a colt or filly got to it. “Kinda like what happened at the Cakes home with my party cannon! I remember like it was yesterday!” Pinkie Pie stated out this thought of what she remembers. “It was.” Applejack points out to honestly say what happened to her pal was yesterday. “Oh yeah, anyway, here’s the story.” The pink pony replied off before going into further detail. ------ Quick Flashback! “Okay, while Mr. & Mrs. Cake are away, I need to watch the shop and the babies.” Pinkie Pie spoke off in watching the pastry shop and the babies. “Now where did I leave my Party Cannon to turn off it’s weapons mode, it was right…” She spoke off her mind in recalling something she needs to do first. Then the pink pony found her cannon as the Cake Twins were seen crawling, flying, hover by magic to play with it like it was some toy. “Aaaahhhhh; Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake, what are you doing!” Pinkie Pie screamed out in seeing the babies were near something that they shouldn’t be messing with. The babies saw their friend, but she yelped in seeing they were close to pressing a set and fire button; one wrong move and they kiss their flanks goodbye. “Ugh, okay…just stay where you are, don’t…touch….anything….that may make a mess.” Pinkie Pie spoke calmly to approach carefully, trying to be seen as innocent as possible to not make the twins react, but… The Cake Twins smiled in thinking it was a game and moved anyway, “Press!” But unfortunately, their hooves press a set mode on the cannon and press the fire button, as it began to shake like crazy. “Yikes! HIT THE DIRT! SHE’S GONNA BLOW!” Pinkie Pie screamed out in terror before swiping the twins off to duck behind the counter. Later, we see the outside Sugarcube Corner, all seems well for the citizens like nothing was out of the ordinary. “Boomfrusvhmmm…./Plup-Plup-Plupfruvhmmm…” Then a huge explosion from the pastry shop happened that what came were….large amounts of cake frosting. And Pinkie & the twins slide out the door while seeing the large mess pile and earn some stares. “Oh phew, I forgot I had it set for frosting flavor mode instead of weapon mode.” Pinkie Pie sighs to wipe off sweat, that was a close call there that her cannon were set on something else. “Oh no, how am I gonna get rid of all this cake frosting before your parents get home?” She spoke off in wondering how to clean up this mess before the Cakes get back. The babies didn’t understand, but when they saw the mess, they just happily were licking without a fuss. “Eat! That’s it! We’ll eat our problems away!” Pinkie Pie smiled in witnessing the babies’ idea, they’ll eat away their problems; it’s so simple, “Hey Everypony! Come get your free all you can eat frosting pastry, and remember, it’s as tasty as anything else we have!” She shouted to get the other ponies around to come join in this event that they most certainly can’t pass up. With that, many of the citizens came over to Sugarcube Corner with soups in their hooves to start digging in. They were eating up this overflow of tasty sensation to their hearts deserve. Even Pinkie Pie and the Cake Twins were happy to help finish off such tasty treats. ---------------- Present Time “Boy did I ever feel glad it was not set to blast the big guns and the Cakes weren’t too displease since the accident brought in customers.” Pinkie Pie sighs in recalling the following event of what she had and was lucky to get out of it. “Well wha should we do about protection fer ponies if an’ we’re not here?” AJ asked off in what they outta do that help keep ponies that ain’t fighters safe. “Well I could try to request everyone’s wardrobes and put in some hidden bullet proof materials. But the weight would be hard on them.” Rarity spoke out a thought in what they can do to help out, but that would be hard to have every day. “But wait, what about the animals, surely we mustn’t forsaken them for just our own survival?” Fluttershy asked off that they need to think about helping to protect the creatures of Mother Nature to. “Girls, we need focus, now let’s just…” Twilight spoke to help get the situation under control, but… “This is about when Discord made my theme park appear that you were against it?” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in knowing why her friend disagree with her idea, it’s cause of an issue. “No, that’s not it.” Twilight responded in stating that wasn’t the issue, despite her finding out eventually. Soon a little argument broke out once again that made Ben & Nyx sigh at this while the baby dragons spoke their own thoughts. “Oh boy, here we go again now.” Spike sighs in seeing their friends are at it again it seems. “You think we be bored when they start debating.” Phobos remotely pointed this out from thinking how things end up going. Those on the sidelines sigh once more as this will take a while to get around deciding. The scene goes dark at this time as more questions come to mind in what will happen on this day. ------------------------- The scene opens to where we find the Cutie Mark Crusaders; Apple bloom, Sweetie Belle & Scootaloo as they were hanging out at their clubhouse. So far, they’ve been busy trying to come up with any new ideas to earn their cutie marks, but so far, they’ve have no luck. What with all the movements of unknown evil opponents they have had to come across, they just never had much time. Right now, Nyx was gonna be busy helping Twilight & Ben with their new Rainbow Castle, so the filly gets to miss out on going to school, something it’s lucky, but Nyx was much more a bookworm like her mother. But even after the three fillies got back home from school, they were as bored as Tartarus. “Ugh, this is so BORING! We haven’t gotten any new leads in who knows how long!” Scootaloo moans to complain about their current order of daily activities. “Right; after Twilight & Ben had their date & then dat no good Ronson tried 'ta takeover, we’ve had zero ideas o' cutie mark talent searching.” Apple Bloom stated to sigh in sounding kinda sad about what things have been going at; a real slow day. “Right, some just as bad as before or after those,” Sweetie Belle stated off in remembering those other things they had to contend to. “Hugh, I wish some pony could just tell us what we should do to earn Cutie Marks.” She sighed in feeling like it be better if someone could just give them an idea of what to do to earn cutie marks. The fillies sigh in feeling they are just in a lost, what can they do? Then something comes to answer the fillies pleas, as a paper airplane flies in that lands near their spot. “Hugh. Wow, I didn’t think that would work out so well.” Sweetie Belle replied off in never guessing that by asking, she get an answer straight away. “Hey, there’s something written in it. Let’s open it up!” Scootaloo spoke off in seeing there was something on the paper, maybe there’s a message. “Okay, now Ah just undo it like so, an’…there.” Apple Bloom responded off to say while opening the paper airplane up into a folded paper. The message was read this ‘If you’re feeling dull, and you can’t figure out what to do, try speaking some cool words to help bring a little excitement to your day. Flip page over to find the Cool Words To Say Listings, Sign A Special Friend. PS. say them out when you’re around others to leave them spell-bound speechless at the awesome power of your cool words.’ and that was all on the front. Before the fillies looked on the back to where the top was label in bold print: “COOL WORDS TO SAY”, and below was a list. And when the CMC trio looked through this, they began to almost instantly smile on their faces. “Girls, Ah think this is a sign fer us!” Apple Bloom spoke off in stating what she may think this little message might be. “Yeah, these words sound pretty cool, they are unbelievable!” Scootaloo replied off in finding what was written on the paper to be really far out. “Who do you think this special friend is?” Sweetie Belle asked off in not knowing who the special someone is without much more detail info. “Maybe it’s some pony dat knows our sisters, Twilight, or any pony else. We got a lot after all.” Apple Bloom stated in what she could possibly think the special friend was. “I say we memorize these things and say them at where we think they best make the best impact!” Scootaloo suggested that they memorize all these words and try to use them out. “Maybe we can earn some Cool Word Cutie Marks! Maybe for different meanings too for our group,” Sweetie Belle suggested something that could be like getting cutie marks by saying some nifty cool words. “YEAH; COOL WORDS CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” The CMC cheered as they felt their spirits are on high, this was perfect for them. As the fillies were beginning to look over to memorize every letter and how to say it, they felt like this was a sign for them. But none of them saw some shady hooded cloak character hidden in the trees. Who whoever it was, kept their presence well hidden it seems. “Hahah, use those words well girls, you have R. Chaos to thank for those. And when you’re really in the need, phase two will be a real blast!” R. Chaos whispered out to say from her face never being seen as she was hatching up this plan to get the fillies to go along with whatever she just presented them. Then the Apocalypse Ponies member vanished in her corridor of darkness while not even leaving a trace of her presence behind for anyone to pick up on. What was gonna happen here seem like it was meant to spell trouble, whatever it maybe.
