"WOW! What a day! I still can't believed that you did all of that Starlight." Twilight said as she, Starlight, Trixie and the rest of the Main Six walking back to Ponyville. Rainbow Dash put her right hand over her mouth as she yawns.
"Yep! The ponies back at your town sure outdone themselves." Rainbow said as she pats her hand on Starlights right shoulder.
"Well, I'm glad that everypony enjoy it, even thought the festival was almost over by then." Starlight said and she then turns her head from left to right, noticing that something is up. "Hey where's Discord?"
"Oh, he said something about having an arranged meeting with somepony at his house." Trixie said while carrying her bags.
"Alright y'all, were home! Let's call it for a day!" Applejack said as they all head to Ponyville center.
"Goody night girls! See you all tomorrow." Twilight
"Good nigh y'all!" Applejack said
"Good night!" They all said to each other before going separate ways. Trixie decides to stay in Ponyville a little longer as she came back to her wagon behind the Castle Of Friendship, Twilight, Spike and Starlight greeted Trixie from there way into the castle, the three then headed near to Starlight's room.
"Starlight, you've been through a lot. You need plenty of rest." Twilight said.
"I'm not the only one Twilight, you've been in a rough situation yourself." Starlight said and they headed to her room, she opens the door and came in.
"See you tomorrow, Starlight." Twilight said as she and Spike waves at her before Starlight waves back at them and slowly closes the door of her room, calling the day off.
1 hour later.
Starlight and everypony else in the town are having a peaceful sleep, until.
"Gasp!" As Starlight woke up from a sudden boom she heard "What was that?" Starlight said as she got to her window and looked outside of Ponyville, a shock in her eyes as she witness everypony running away, several objects are thrown from one place to another, furniture's and items being thrown and smash by an unknown force and fire begin to burn at a few places. Starlight frantic action raced out of the hallways and headed to the foyer of the Castle, accompanied by Twilight and Spike who's also startled from the sound.
"Starlight! You heard the commotion too right!?" Twilight said with Spike next to her.
"Yes, it's coming from outside!" Starlight said and they open the doors of the Castle, they witness in horror to everypony ran away from the mischief of flying objects and throw away items, some ponies levitate of the ground, some being prank like tripping on a banana peel, tomatoes thrown at their faces, even some small buildings begin to being burn on fire, Trixie ran up to them out of the bloom.
"Twilight! Thank goodness you're here!" Trixie said as she frantically tried to keep her composure.
"Trixie, what's going on out here!?" Starlight ask.
"I don't know! I was sleeping in my wagon and all of a sudden. I heard all of this commotion and when I got out, this happens!" Trixie said as she uses her magic to put some of the objects back in order, but many are still thrown everywhere.
"I just hope the others are alright!" Spike said, as if it was a coincidence, the rest of the Main Six ran past through the now corrupt storm of chaos.
"Girls! Are you all alright!?" Twilight said.
"Don't worry about us darling! Were fine. But Ponyville itself on the other hand..." Rarity said as she's also looked distress at the catastrophic of a town.
"But... What kind of a party pooper would do this!?" Pinkie said as she's looking at the ponies ran from flying objects, some furnitures being explode and so on. Starlight looks at the surrounding and could only come up with one explanation in her mind.
"This most likely to be Discord's act." Starlight said and everypony else gasp in shock.
"But it couldn't be, Discord was reformed, remember?" Fluttershy said, but everypony else muttered and sighs, indicating of slight disagreements. Twilight then takes a serious thrown on her face and turns her head left and right.
"Discord! If this is a game to you, then cut it out or we'll have to used force on you!" Twilight said.
"Only one way to find out!" Rainbow said "Hey Discord, if it's really you! You better cut out the act or we'll give you to a flank whooping!" Rainbow said as she's performing some martial arts skills, but without warning a nearby toadstool coffee table was throw at Rainbow's back, luckily Applejack saw it and push her out of the way in naked time.
"Wow! That was a close one!" Rainbow said.
"Rainbow, you can't just bust your way to conclusions!" Applejack said as she stood back up.
"Alright y'all, whatever the caused of all of this, we need to team up to stop this!" Applejack saids and the rest of her friends nodded in agreement.
"Twilight, Starlight, Rarity and Trixie, you guys are going to use your magic to stop as many of the objects from hitting anypony." Applejack said.
"Fluttershy, Rainbow, Pinkie Spike! You all take everypony to somewhere safe!" Applejack said and the other four nodded.
"And I'll try to find out the cause of all this, got it!?" Applejack said and everypony gives a simple "Right!" and they all spread out and doing their part. As Twilight and her friends tried to keep the commotion in check, at a distance, a figure hiding behind one of the Everfree Forest trees saw everything, the being wears a strange white cloak with spiky shoulder pads and a grew tip on the hood, though the hood shadowed it's face, the being then held up it's right hand and snaps it's finger, at the right moment everything stops, the throwing, the mayhem stops and everypony in the town, stood in total shock, trying to process everything they witness.
"What just happend?" Twilight said, a fearful tone can be heard. While everypony else began to feel the same fear.
"Hey everypony! I got some warm chocolate milk!" Discord said as he appears from thin air while, wearing pajamas and holding a glass of chocolate milk in his left claw.
"Just what are you playing at Discord?! We thought you've gotten over of making chaos!" Rainbow said as she charged and having a face to face confront at him, making him spill the glass.
"Just what are you talking about?" Discord said with his left eyebrow raised.
"Don't you lie to us! We all know ya the only one here who is capable to do such a thing!" Applejack said, pointing at him.
"No! I was rolling on my bed, trying to get some sleep. But for some reason I felt a strange presence had came here, so I thought that I could get a glass of warm milk to help me relax." Discord said
"Quick the act buster! If you didn't do it then how would you explained all of the stuffs being thrown by itself and ponies got pranked!" Pinkie said, giving a sure sign of a suspicious face.
"Look, I may enjoy a little prank or two sometimes. But do I look like I would want to cause some chaos when it's past my sleeping time!?" Discord said as he makes a watch appear out of thin air on his left claw.
"We've thought you have changed to a greater good long ago Discord! Now we know that you've just been using us!" Rarity said, pointing at him with her right hand with furry in her eyes.
"GIRLS! THAT'S ENOUGH!" Fluttershy said with a rare sign of rage "If Discord said that he didn't do it, then he didn't do all of this!" She said.
"But Fluttershy, who else could possibly have the kind of magic to cause this kind of havoc other than Discord." Twilight replied.
"I don't know, but if Discord said it wasn't him, then it wasn't him!" Fluttershy said. "And I though we all agreed that he's reformed!" Fluttershy merely just assure.
"Oh, my dear Fluttershy! I knew you're always the understanding one around here!" Discord said. "And there I though that you all though of me the same way." he said disappointingly at the rest of the Six. The rest of her friends still stares at him with suspicions, but at the same time confusion.
"So... If you really are not the one who caused all of this, then who ?" Trixie who then decides to join in the argument.
"I guess that's a mystery in our hands. In the meantime, I'm going back to my bed with another cup of warm chocolate milk" Discord said as he vanishes in a flash of light. As soon as Discord disappears, Twilight and her friends gathered in a group puddle and began their discussion.
"You all believed what he said, do you?" Fluttershy said.
"Fluttershy, we understand how much you want all of us to get along with him, but we all need to make sure that he is right to his words." Twilight whispers.
"I for one think that one of us should spy on him, just to see if he's actually doing something behind our backs." Rarity said.
Starlight sighs before her eyes widened with an idea. "Twilight, I may have a spell that could help us to find out if whether if Discord is the one who's responsible for all of this or not, but I would need your help ." Starlight said as she turn to Twilight, getting everypony's attention.
"What is it Starlight?" Twilight ask and leaned closer to Starlight along with everypony else, Starlight begin to mutter her plans to the main Six.
The Figure's POV:
The figure who still hides in the same spot as before still view upon on Ponyville, this time it's now accompanied by several strange creatures walking towards it, all of which wears a black body suit with a rib cage like chest, blue flame shaped eyes, a yellow water droplet symbol on their foreheads, wearing dark grey gloves and boots and a strange belt with an angry eyeball shaped buckle.
"You all done well!" The figure said before turning it's back away from the bunch "The experiment was a success!". The being said as it turns it head back to the creatures.
"Come! We have more business to intent!" the figure said as it and the rest of the group of creatures enters deeper into the Everfree Forest, their silhouettes were last seen in the night before being covered in vegetation.
Weeks later, Ponyville is now peaceful again. Twilight continues to teach more about the magic of friendship to Starlight, however today in particular special for them because Twilight has a new assignment for Starlight, she and all of their pony friends are at the park, having a picnic. Learning to share more joy and happiness to each other as they eat their usual cucumber sandwiches and other picnic delights.
"Starlight, looks like you're getting a hang of it!" Twilight said as she's joyful to see Starlight's new growth. Starlight, along with all of her friends giggle at their happiness, however it was lasted until they heard screams and panic at the town square.
"Oh no, not again!" Twilight said as she and the rest of her friends ran to the source of the havoc, the same phenomenon happens again, however Starlight smirks and turns her head to Twilight.
"Twilight! Remember our plan?" Starlight said and Twilight nods as she uses her magic to tried to levitate and stopped the objects from throwing around, after her attempt fail the two then focus their magic as their horn glow.
"Twilight! Now!" Starlight said as she and Twilight blast two powerful magical beams that make a direct hit to each other, the two beams merged into a magical ball which levitates into the air and explodes into several glitter like substance, but after a few moments, little to nothing appears or happened, bringing a shock to both Starlight and Twilight.
"W-W-What!? That spell was supposed to reveal the source of the spell which cause the commotion!?" Starlight said, shocked at the result "Why didn't it worked!?" said Starlight as the mayhem continues. Seconds later, Discord appears out of the blue again.
"See!? What did I tell you!?" Discord said as he points his left claw at them. "But I think I might could lend you a little hand!" Discord said as he snaps his lion paw and the commotion stops. The whole citizen in town stares at each other shock as the town is now restored thanks to Discords magic. Twilight and her friends walked up to Discord with shameful expressions.
"What did I said when I'm not the one who's responsible for all of this!?" Discord said who's unamused.
"I guess we misjudge you, again. Sorry Discord" Starlight said, a small yet sorrowful tone in it.
"None taken everypony." He said as he waves his right paw at them. Twilight who now had a more confused expression on her face.
"But since you helped us stopped it, do you have any clues to what caused all of this?" Twilight ask.
"No single clue, I didn't realized that my magic could even put a stop to this mess up until now of course." Discord said, Twilight then turn her attention to the disaster which was left in Ponyville.
"Why is this happening?" Twilight said with a hint of fear in her voice as everypony else felt the same sensation. Discord however had a more serious expression on him as he turns his back from the Main Six and now looks at the same strange creatures back at the Everfree Forest as the creatures retreat and headed back into the forest, the oddly thing is that no pony else seems to able to see or hear them, except for Discord himself.
"I hope he knows what he's doing." Discord whispers to himself with slight concern.
