Act 3: Mischief.




(warning: this is abit in progress, still some mistakes. i couldn't get it ready for an editor because i already had them to work on other stories. but i promise that once one of them is done, i will get this fixed.)


A village is seen burning at the stakes, ponies running around in fear. Above them, on a series of dark clouds, a brown Pegicious pony with a cutiemark that looks like an evil looking joker face. He had a spiky mane, and a regular tail, and his mane color is an interesting mix of Black and Red on top and bottom. He was smiling cruelly at the ponies down below. He had something to do with its destruction. He said: "And that, my friends, is why you should not deny serving Mischief, the most powerful rouge Weather Pony this side of Equestia!" he then looks at his map, to see his next destination. Mischief said: "Now, for my next set of victims… Ah, here it is! Ponyville. I have no idea why I never visited there before, but I bet it'll be fun!" He looks down at the burning village again. He shouted: "See ya later, folks, I'm off to pay my next set of victims a visit: a small town thingy called Ponyvillie, and the best part: like you guys, they'll be helpless to stop me!" he laughs manically as the clouds depart the village.

Meanwhile, at Ponyville.

Twilight and Friends await an arrival of a special guest. Fluttershy said: "Oh, I hope she'll like me, will she like me, do I smell funny? (Sniffs herself) Does this smell right?" Rarity said, assuring the nervous pony wreak: "Fluttershy, Darling, you're positively refreshing." Applejack said: "Besides, I'm sure she won't care if any of us smell bad, as long as we give her a good Ponyville welcome." Twilight said: "Alcourse, a good impression is needed, I mean, she'll tell us everything about herself more if we don't do anything that'll make us look stupid." Applejack said: "Sugercube, you're a bigger worry wart then Fluttershy." Fluttershy squealed: "EEK! I HAVE A WART? AND IT'S WORRIED? WHAT'S IT WORRIED ABOUT?" Rainbow Dash said: "Chillax, Fluttershy, it's an expression." Fluttehrshy said: "Whew." Pinkie Pie was hopping up and down in place! Pinkie Pie said: "So, is she coming? Is she coming? ? OHMYGOSH! -" Rainbow Dash covered Pinkie's mouth. Rainbow Dash said: "I'll let go if you promise to chill, Pinkie." Pinkie nodded wildly! Rainbow Dash lets go. Rainbow Dash said: "I am sure this Writing Glory chick is handling this alot better."

Meanwhile.

In a huge chariot being pulled by Celestia's guard, Writing Glory was squealing with joy! Writing Glory said: "I am gonna meet my saviors, oh my gosh, OMG!" Celestia awkwardly smiled. Celestia said: "If you want to make a better impression on them may I grant you some tips?" Writing Glory said, almost ashamed of acting like a teenager: "Ok, what?" Celestia said: "Well, an Empre- uh, a princess must retain a sense of composure, to look regel and elegant to the common folk. One must not look uneasy and imcomident in eyes of many." Writing Glory said: "Why would they think that?" Celestia said: "Well, nopony wants somepony in charge of them and doesn't take things seriously, now would they?" Writing Glory said: "Well, uh, I guess a serious leader is more, respected I guess?" Celestia nodded. Writing Glory said: "Ok, I guess I'll take a shot at this, "serious" thing. And, how I do that, exactly?" Celestia said: "First, retain a calm posture, if your calm, those around you are calm." Writing Glory becomes calmer. Writing Glory said: "Yeah, and?" Celestia said: "Always remember to speak very mannerly and calm. No rudeness intended, but, nopony would know your comident if you act like, well, Pinkie Pie for an example." Writing Glory said: "Noted, and?" Celestia said: "Also, avoid doing anything, or sounding intimidating, they don't like that, it scares their wits out of them. Trust me; Luna learned that the hard way when she thought it was a good idea to use the Royal Canterlot Voice on the night of Nightmare Night." Writing Glory said: "Pretty easy, cause I don't even know how to do that anyway." Celestia said: "And may that be used to your advantage." Writing Glory giggled. Celestia said: "Composure." Writing Glory said: "Sorry, you just told a funny joke, and, I thought it was funny. But right, composure." Celestia said: "Ok, I cannot deny that even humor is a welcome weakness in composure, but, there is such little time on how long such a thing is allowed." Writing Glory said: "I know, it's just, my master never let me leave the cave. He wanted me for something to fit his desires." Celestia said: "Writing Glory, I know you won't speak of, your abuser or what he is, but, if you do choose to actselly talk about him, please know, no matter where a pony comes from or how he or she started out, he/she is still a pony, no matter how great their mistakes or sins." Writing Glory was inspired by those words. But, she still felt she couldn't still talk about it, yet. Writing Glory said: "I am still not ready though, please understand." Celestia said, smiling: "I do, Glory."

Back at the ground.

Rarity shouted: "Rainbow Dash, do you see them yet?" Rainbow Dash said: "Hold up, girls, I'm still viewing the area…" Rainbow Dash viewed from left to right, till, something came into view. It looked like, a flying Chariot. Rainbow Dash said: "HEY, I SEE THEM NOW!" the 6 friends began to get excited. It was the Chariot Celestia and Writing Glory were on. It landed by the side where the Mane 6 were. The 6 friends were quick to meet the Chariot! Writing Glory was the first off. Writing Glory said to herself: "Composure, composure, composure, remember, retain your composure." Twilight said: "Hi, I'm Tw-" Writing Glory screamed: "EEK! IT'S MY SAVIOR! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!" Celestia said: "Composure." Writing Glory blushed. Writing Glory said: "Oh, I mean, I am, uh regally charmed to meet my, sav-ior." Celestia face-hoofed herself. Celestia said: "Mother of mercy." Twilight nervously laughs. Twilight clears her throat. Twilight said: "Well, anyway, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Applejack said: "Name's Applejack." Fluttershy said softly: "I'm Fluttershy." Pinkie Pie said: "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" Rarity said: "I'm Rarity, your grace." Rainbow Dash said: "And I'm" Rainbow Dash suddenly flew up, and, in her fastest speed, rounded up a bunch of clouds to gather to form her name in the sky. Rainbow Dash landed. Rainbow Dash said: "Rainbow Dash, or, the Dash if you want." Writing Glory said: "Well, I'm Writing Glory." Fluttershy said: "My, that is a beautiful name." Writing Glory blushed alittle. Writing Glory said: "Your, uh, you're welcome." Applejack said: "Pardon for what ah say, Glory, but, if I didn't know any better, y'all seem a tad nervous and shy." Writing Glory shook her head! Writing Glory tried to regain her composure. Writing Glory said: "Sorry, forgot the composure, got it back though. I'm uh, curious about this, here, small town, or, village, or, really under-made city, uh, or, farming community, or- (Celestia cleared her throat.) Uh, I mean, I care to par-take in viewing yonder city, duh, town, d'oh, uh, village, uh…. I got it, subburnen neighterhood!" Celestia groaned in annoyance and disappointment. Twilight said, with an eyebrow raised and a small frown: "Wow, you really need help, do you?" Writing Glory said: "Lost the composure, did I?" Applejack said: "Honey, you lost it when y'all was screeching like a fangirl more then how Rainbow Dash reacts to the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash said: "Hey! (brief silence) yeah your right." Writing Glory blushed. Writing Glory said: "You don't think I'm very incomident now? I made a bad impression." Twilight said: "It's ok, we all have our, um, bad first impressions." Writing Glory said: "You won't deem me incomident?" Fluttershy said: "Well, I can't deny that you're more prone to, uh, um, being alittle awkward. Sorry." Rarity said: "As nice being composed is, it won't be an easy feet to gain without the will, and the right guidance to do such." Writing Glory said: "Really? Like, uh, what?" Rarity said: "In good time, darling." Pinkie Pie barged in! Pinkie Said: "In the meantime, LET'S THORW YOU A "WELCOME TO PONYVILLE" PARTY!" she posed as confetti and streamers came from nowhere with the sounds of noisemakers heard! Pinkie suddenly and somehow managed to pick up Writing Glory with no problems from Glory's Alicorn frame, and then ran off! Twilight said: "Pinkie, wait, I don't think she's in a proper manner or personally to meet everyone in Ponyville at once! Let alone actselly attend a party!" Pinkie was still running with Writing Glory in tow! Twilight said: "Ugh, that Pinkie Pie." Applejack said: "Nice girl, but not famous for being a strong thinker if y'all catch my drift." Celestia said: "Twilight, I'm sorry if Glory was, well, not fully self-contained yet." Twilight said: "It's ok, Princess, remember Luna's awkward first impression on Nightmare Night?" Celestia said: "Who hasn't remembered the night Nightmare Night was almost canceled because of mere misunderstandings?" Twilight said: "Well, we better be off to get Pinkie before she makes yet another near royal upset." Rainbow Dash said: "Again." The friends ran off. Celestia said to herself: "Here's hoping this will end much better."

Meanwhile.

A series of dark clouds roam across the everfree forest. Mischief was resting on top of the storm. He was smiling; apparently, he is looking forword to ruin the lives of those who reside at Ponyville, as it was just another day of mayhem for him. And he ain't gonna care what happens to those who can't take a joke, he understood the punchline, and that's all that matters to him.

Back to Ponyville.

In Sugercube corner, Pinkie already has invited everypony in Ponyville to meet Writing Glory. So far, thankfully, despite some moments of awkwardness, it was mostly very good meetings for both parties. Writing Glory could not have been any happier to meet them, and, despite not holding her composure very well, they were friendly and were pleased to meet another Alicorn. Writing Glory did not think Celestia lied to her, she figured she was using herself as an example on how to avoid awkward meetings. Though, she does have this feeling they may be nice because of what she is. As much of a liar Sting-Ra was, he did somewhat rarely told some truths, like the smaller ponies worshipped and respected the Alicorns because of their powers, and the fact they both process magic and flight, (with a hint of being even faster than a race horse on land), though because of their friendly personally for her and each other, the ones about them being prone to sacrifice their virgins and first-borns is deffently nonsense to a T. Writing Glory said: "Hey, Pinkie, pass me some cake?" Pinkie gets a piece of cake, and poses like a football player! Pinkie shouts: "GO LONG!" Pinkie tosses the piece! Writing Glory tries to capture it! Writing Glory grabbed it just the nick of time! Everyone applauded. Pinkie said: "To Writing Glory, everypony! The new Princess in town!" everyone cheers! Writing Glory said: "Princess? Where?" Pinkie giggled. Pinkie said: "You silly." Writing Glory said: "Oh, sorry, forgot, I mean, I do felt being a princess is, rather sudden, I mean, I just got here barely alive, and, just because I'm, supposingly powerful then, pretty much everypony here, doesn't mean I'm a regular pony, just, taller." Pinkie said: "Ain't she modest, everypony?" the ponies there began to make agreeing chatters. Twilight came in with 4 of the other mane six. Applejack said: "Well so far, I think Glory is handling herself well." Twilight said: "I guess so, I mean, it wasn't like something bad is gonna happen or anything."

At Canterlot castle.

Luna said: "I do sure hope Glory's enjoying herself, Sister, from what you told me, it appears she has much to learn." Celestia said: "But, at least she is amongst very friendly folk. Ponyvillie's a pretty friendly and loving small town." Luna said: "But, has not Ponyville been known to be disaster prone?" Celestia frowned, but then smiled again. Celestia said: "A few bad inisadents, yes, but I am positive that this time, it'll be a pretty peaceful-" a thunder cackle was heard! Celestia and Luna looked at the window, to see from afar, an approaching series of storm clouds. Luna said: "I'm sure this isn't the weather team's work." Celestia said: "And that's not ordinary rouge weather too, too orginasied for Everfree weather standards." Celestia took a closer look, due to being an Alicorn, they can see from afar quite well. Luna said: "What has Thou seen?" Celestia looked as hard as she could do. On the top of the center of the storm series, was a brown Pegicious pony with an evil looking grin. Celestia gasped! Luna said: "What? What's wrong?" Celestia said: "It's Mischief, a rouge weather pony who sole purpose is to bring misery for his pleaseurement. And, he's heading for, for, for…. For Ponyville!" Luna gasped! Luna said: "Glory won't stand a chance against that pony!" Celestia said: "The guards won't allow chariot flights if they'd seen the storm, we have to fly on our own! We need to get to Ponyville, find Glory, get every ponyvillian in shelter, and get Glory to safety!" Luna said: "But, what about Mischief?" Celestia said: "I'm sure brave enough souls will challenge him, but our concern is Glory right now. (Celestia opens the window.) Come, we must get Glory out of there!" Luna nodded, and flew off with Celesta.

Back at Sugercube corner.

Writing Glory was enjoying herself, when suddenly, she froze. Her eyes glow in a strange glow. Everypony was nervous and concern of her wellbeing. Writing Glory was in a flashback phase.

In the flashback.

An approaching storm cloud with a Pegicious Colt on it.

Flashback ends.

Writing Glory snapped out of it, then runs towards the door! Pinkie Pie shouts: "Hey, the party's over here!"

Writing Glory bursted though the door, and looked south. Twilight came out. Twilight said: "Glory, what's wro- (Gasps)" the other 5 of the mane 6 came as well, shocked to see what they see. A series of storm clouds. Twilight said: "Oh, dear, Celestia." Applejack yells: "A storms abrewing! Everypony inside!" everyone but Writing Glory ran back in! Twilight shouted: "Glory, come on! It's a storm!" Writing Glory said: "No, it's something, different. There's a pony named Mischief on the clouds." Twilight yelled: "(GASPS) MISCHIEF!" The ponies in the store screamed: "MISCHIEF!" Writing Glory closed her eyes, trying to clear her thoughts. She began to see another vision. She gasped, with her eyes open. Writing Glory said: "I know how to stop it!" Glory flew off, towards the storm! Twilight screamed: "GLORY!" Rainbow Dash screamed as she bursted from the window and flew off: "EVEN I'M NOT THIS CRAZY!" Writing Glory flew closer towards the huge series of clouds! Rainbow Dash caught up strong! Rainbow Dash yelled: "GLORY, AS COOL IT IS BEING A HERO, DON'T DO IT! IT AIN'T YOUR THING! IT'S KINDA MINE!" Writing Glory Screamed: "TRUST ME ON THIS! JUST KEEP THE CLOUDS OFF MY BACK! I'M GOING FOR THE CONTROLLER!" Rainbow Dash smiled, and scream: "WHAT I DO BEST, DEFENCE!" Storm clouds began to close in, but Rainbow Dash quickly kicked them all away in seconds! Mischief notices this and was surprised by this. Mischief said: "Hey, what's the big idea attacking my clouds?" Rainbow Dash nor Writing Glory didn't respond! Mischief said: "Oh, we're gonna play it that way, now are we? Ok, but one little warning, this ain't your ordinary storm…. It's a sentient storm!" a face formed on the series of storms! Rainbow Dash: "Oh man! A sentient storm's bad news!" Writing Glory said: "Rainbow one, I need you by my side! We can do this!" Rainbow Dash wasn't sure, a Sentient Storm's something you do not want to mess with, but, Dash wouldn't be very loyal if she just ditched Glory, let alone all of Ponyville, to be trashed by a Sentient Storm. It won't be right to desert those she cared about. Nothing is gonna make her leave her friends, not even a Sentient Storm. Rainbow Dash was filled with comidents, she was determined! She faced worse foes then, a sentient storm. As infamous as a sentient storm is, nothing was going to stop the fastest pegiscious in Equestia! Rainbow Dash shouted: "I got your back! Let's show these dorks whose boss!" the Sentient Storm grew arms and roared a storming wind! Glory and Rainbow Dash quickly dodged! Rainbow Dash said: "We're gonna have to work together, Glory, I don't think these guys are gonna come quietly! It's time for some cloud control!" Writing Glory shouted: "But, isn't he the one controlling the clouds?" Rainbow Dash facehoofed! Rainbow Dash said: "I meant let's fight this thing!" Writing Glory felt stupid replying like that. The Sentient storm begins to reach out, but Rainbow Dash quickly kicked away the hand! The monster roared! Writing Glory was amazed by Rainbow's willingness and power, and stamina! Though the monster re-grew it's arm, Rainbow was prepared, as she began to rampantly kicked away the monster! Writing Glory began to gain the bravery needed to help Dash, but, she remembered the vision! Writing Glory said: "Dash, I need to get to Mischief, I know what is need to be done!" Rainbow Dash nodded, anything from an Alicorn's mouth must be worthwhile to pull off!

As the Sentient Storm tries to grab them, Rainbow Dash kicked away pieces of the monster, causing it pain! The Monster roared in anguished! Mischief said: "Ok, my pet, no more Misters nice duo. Time for the really nasty trick, my pet!" the Sentient Storm spews mini Sentient Storms at Rainbow Dash and Writing Glory! It looked like the end when-

BLAM! BOOM! WHOOSH!

Writing and Rainbow Dash were confused. Writing Glory said: "Wasn't there an army of tiny Sentient storms after us?" a voice said: "Not anymore, thanks to us." It was Spitfire and Soarin. Rainbow Dash squealed like a fan girl! Rainbow Dash said: "IT'S THE WONDERBOLTS!" Writing Glory said: "Uh, Dash, as much as I would like to know these 2 better, we really need to stop our current problem!" Spitfire said: "Way ahead of you!" Spitfire and Soarin quickly flew to meet the challenge! They flew straight into the Sentient Storm's mouth! Writing Glory shouted: "WHAT DID THEY DO THAT FOR?" Rainbow Dash said: "They're gonna beat the problem at it's shorse!"

Spitfire and Soarin flew fast inside the body of the storm, dodging many hazards in there. Soarin said: "It's shorse can't be too far now!" Spitfire said: "Be on the lookout mini Sentient Storms, though!" they see a huge blue light at the end of the tunnel. Spitfire Said: "BINGO!" they charged very fast at it, causing a huge explowtion!

The Sentient Storm began to deteriorate and fall apart cloud by cloud. Mischief was in horror! Mischief shouted: "NO! NO! NO!" the Sentient Storm vanished. Mischief was too horrified by the fall of his only friend to even flout. He was falling fast!

But Writing Glory zoomed in quickly, and grabbed the Pegasus. Mischief couldn't even move. Mischief sees the Alicorn before him. Writing Glory flew off, towards the ground. Rainbow Dash, and now appearing Wonderbolts Spitfire and Soarin, look on at where Glory was going!

Rainbow Dash said: "Where in Celestia's beard is she taking him?" Spitfire and Soarin had no idea.

Writing Glory lands on the town outskirts, and places Mischief down. Mischief begins to realize what is happening! Mischief said: "You, you Alicorn witch! You and those, pegisi friends of yours, destroyed the only friend I had in this world!" Writing Glory said: "I understand why you believed that. Come here; let me see what ails you." Mischief was about to protest, but Writing Glory already touched his forehead with her horn. Mischief begins to see his past life… his troubled childhood, his horrible parents, his first encounter with an upright humanoid buzzard faced man-vulture, and the becoming of the sentient storm that was his lifelong friend. And all, the pain and suffering he caused through-out Equestia, and beyond.

Writing Glory raised her head. Writing Glory said: "The man-vulture that gave you the sentient storm sent you on the dark path. I am here to send you straight, Mischief… or was it, Fun times?" Suddenly, Mischief changed color and cutiemark, into a light blue, green-and-yellow colored mane and tail, combed over, and his cutiemark is now just a smiley face with a jester hat. Mischief, now really Fun-times, began to cry. He cliasped. His sobs were heard. Writing Glory lay next to him, and placed a comforting wing on him, showing understanding and kindness to the Pegasus.

This was being watched by Celestia and Luna. They stared with a royal demeanor, but were surprised nonetheless. Luna said: "Sister, I think, Writing Glory is starting to get her powers back…" Celestia said: "She is only scratching the surface. I sense a great power on the memory spell alone, but she is capable of more than that. Let's remember that she was intended to rule Equestia before what Sting-Ra did. She was Creation's finest." Luna said: "Speaking of them, sister. Aren't you worried of Creation might not fully approve of Writing Glory being restored, or even Sting-Ra finding out?" Celestia said: "The council will prevent him from getting angered again. Father time most certainly. It is Sting-Ra I am the most concerned. I sense that the pony formerly known as Mischief was one of the created pawns of Sting-Ra's evil vice-roy… Sky Screeher." Luna said: "Or commonly referred to as the Man-Vulture. I understand now, Sister. even now, I wonder how long Glory can avoid the grasp of Sting-Ra, or that bird of darkness."

Unknown to Luna or even Celestia, the whole thing was watched apawn by the Cy-bats. The creatures then flew off and head towards the forest.

Back at Sting-Ra's mountain cave, waiting at the entrance is a humanoid vulture with four birdlegs, the fronts serving as arms, the backs as legs. This was Sky Screeher, the Man-Vulture. Suddenly some Cy-bats appear before Man-Vulture. Man-Vulture said: "The master has been waiting for you twits. It better be impourent." Man-Vulture raises his clawed hand, and places on one of the Cy-bats. He begins to see what they seen. Man-Vulture smiled. Man-Vulture said: "Excellent. Glory has been found. A shame Celestia got to her first. A bigger shame that fool Mischief failed. No matter, at least the master will finally have his progress. Though I have reasonable doubts he'll take kindly to the misfounate news of Celestia and Luna having her first… but, then again, perhaps, in a way, it could be beneficial to both them, and him… and when the time is right… me…. (chuckles wickedly.) now be gone, creatures, you have done your job." The Cy-bats flew into the cave and roosted at the celling. Man-Vulture resumed looking at the scenery. Man-Vulture said: "So, Glory is already on the path to regain her powers and knowledge. Good, after days of serving that Flying Serpent, everything, will finally pay off very greatly… (even quieter) for me." Man-Vulture laughed Manically! It echos throughout the forest.

To be continued next act.
