//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 - released // Story: Multi autem ex Deo // by Dr_Tornado //------------------------------// It had been a 1000 years. A 1000 years in stone. A 1000 years in imprisonment. I had currently finished counting the statues in the garden, think up new allies, and listen to "High-school never ends". And i Didn't have anything that i could do anymore I had already read many sorts of magic, both from this world and beyond it. It didn't matter to me though. I knew this was the time Discord and i would get out, due to me having seen My little pony to the point where the changelings became a new race. Of course, Golden had been there right next to me, living in the maze. He was currently Talking about how he pranked the guards. He had to temporarily hide in the bush under my statue. I am looking forward to getting out. Should probably prank the poop out of Celestia. Then i will...Oh! They are here. Will be interesting to see what i became the embodiment of. Did I forget to mention that i made a peace sign with my hands before turning to stone? Probably. "So class, can you notice something about this statue?" Cheerilee asked the little foals. "It is standing on it's legs!" Applebloom said. "And it is a skeleton!" Scootaloo Shouted. "And it's doing a weird symbol with it's claws!" Sweetiebell Shouted. "This,"Creerilee said before continuing, "is called a chaos being, which is essentially is a being who is able to use chaos magic, and, like the rest of the statues, represents something, do any of you have an idea of what it represents?" She said to the class. Wow. That's a really bad description. "Confusion!" Applebloom shouted before being pushed over by Sweetiebell. "Fear!" She shouted before too being pushed away by Scootaloo. "Weirdness!" She shouted. After that it escalated into a fight of epic proportions before Cheerilee stopped them, before continuing on the tour speech. "It's actually none of them, although this is the only statue with multiple titles, which are Judgement, Manipulation, Imagination and Insanity. But because of your little fight you will, as punishment write an 5 page essay on each of the subjects," she continued. Geeze, go easy on them. After that they had left, due to the chaos that they caused, our statues finally shattered. It was nice to be able to move again. I looked to my right and saw Discord standing there, no doubt planning all the chaos he was gonna make. He looked at me with a smile. i answered with a thumbs up. "So Cross, what are you gonna do now?" He asked. I snapped my fingers, teleporting Golden in front of me, and giving him a big hug. He starts crying tears of joy before hugging me back. "Was my big bear hug to much?" I joke. He just laughs a little before letting go. "Sooo...what about putting up prank traps all over the castle?" Discord suggested to me. I sounded like something I would really like to do. Although, i'll first need to use the loo. I quickly teleport away before coming back. Time to prank Celestia hard. an hour later "So Crossbones, Golden, any ideas left for pranks before Celestia discovers that we got out?" Discord says to us. Let's see...we have put spider-web in all of the guards helmets, we have put whoopee cushions on all the chairs, changed the night sky stars so that they look like naughty picture's, placed TNT under the thrones and put a gender bender spell trap in the throne room," I count. "I don't think we have anything else to do. It seems like we have too do the important stuff now sadly," I answer him. He looks at me with puppy-face, and I comply, if only to stop him from looking more ridiculous than he already looks. After about an hour of adding traps and pranking people, we started to go to work. Golden hid the element's, Discord was giving a taste of the chaos to the world, and i was planning on ways to break the element's that i would get, which was Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. And as a bonus, i would get Celly too! We saw the element's go into the throne room, and whoop, time for the spell to activate. Seeing their faces when they saw that they were stallions were absolutely priceless. After a spell from Celly to turn them back to normal, she started explaining who we where. After seeing that the element's were gone (their faces were still priceless) we decided to appear. Discord appeared in the glass, Golden turned into his shadow-form and appeared on the ceiling, while i just floated right there, in the air. "You!" Celly shouted in outrage at us. "Where are the element's!" "Oh hello Celly, it's been a thousand years since we talk, hasn't it?" I ask her in a mocking tone. "Well...take a guess at our chant, to figure out where your precious element's are," Golden says smugly. "To retrieve your missing element's, just make sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are our master-plan, then find the element's, back where it began," Discord said before he teleported to the maze, and Golden went to deal with the other princesses, while i just turned invisible. When they eventually thought that the element's were in the maze they left (oh so wrong they were), leaving me and Celly alone. I put an fatigue spell on her and waited. After a minute she has become tired enough to go to her royal bedchambers. She doesn't even bother to walk there, she just teleport into the room and fall asleep. Perfect. I start by making her completely immobilized. She can't do anything, other than to do as i say, like a puppet. I put her in a pose, then bring out a little potion i have. I pour the content on her. The effect's are instant. Her body slowly turns from flesh to marble, and in a minute, dear Celly is a stone statue. "Sweet dreams Celly, if you get out, know that i had the decency to let you sleep under that time," I say before teleporting her to the castle of the two sisters wine cellar, and i teleport to the maze. Time to meet the element's of harmony. I first saw Fluttershy. I decided to turn into a rabbit to take her to a bigger place. After waiting for about 5 minutes she saw me, and i started to jump away. She took it hook, line and sinker. "Oh please wait on me," she quietly pleaded. After a bit of running we come out into a open area. This will do. I turn around and show my white pupils in the dark void of my eyes, before transforming back into myself. She looks at me with fear. It's to be expected, considering what i am. "Hello Fluttershy, nice to meet you in person," I say with a hole Heep of malice in the voice. "H-how d-do you k-know my name?" she asks me. "That does not matter, does it? I am here to offer you a deal," i say, secretly implanting a couple of thoughts in her head. "A d-deal?"She asks clearly confused. "Yes, a deal. I will give you bravery to be assertive, and you shake my hand. For you, it's a win-win," i say to her. The voices in her head are clearly working like a charm. I start to walk away from her before turning around and taking my hand out for her. "One shake, and you won't be treated like garbage," I say, waiting. She looks on me nervously, before reaching for my hand. It seems like the voices did their job quite nicely. When she takes my hand, it bursts into blue flames. She looks horrified, and tries to pull her hoof out, but I made sure she couldn't back out. The blue flames starts to travel in line's and move over her whole body, before flashing out, leaving black trails where they once were, before they disappear to. I release her hoof and she falls onto the ground, and turns grey, making her an opposite of her element. I also added a little something to spice things up in the future. It's going to give her a view of what it feels like to be a vampire. I disappear before letting Twilight find her, but I am already seeing my next element. Time to meet the element of laughter. I see Pinkie and just decide to show in-front of her. She looks at me, before taking a huge gasp of air. I see where this is going and quickly slow down time around her. It will be much easier that way. "Hello my name is Pinkie Pie. Do you like party's? Are you with that big meanie pant Discord? What is your favorite color? What is your name? What is your're favorite Chocolate? What is your favorite music? What is your favorite instrument? What is your favorite cookie? Did you do the deed with a earth pony named Silent Rock?," She blurts out. I set her to normal speed. "Yes,yes,close to any shade of blue, It's Crossbones, Light brown chocolate, I have a few, but not an distinct favorite, Violin, Piano, Cembalo, Pipe organ and a grand piano, chocolate chip and... how do you know that?" I ask her, stunned at she knowing this. She looks at me with a smile. Wait. Oh you've got to be kidding me. I look at her, her smile almost splitting her face. "Congratulations, extremely-many-great-Grandfather!" She says. I am stunned. I did not know that this happend, and i am frankly baffled by it. Well, it at least explains how Pinkie can do those crazy things. "I'm going to be honest with you, at the time i was in a drunken stupor," I say. "Oh don't worry about it, she realized that by herself. It's nice to meet you,extremely-many-great-Grandfather!" She happily exclaimed. "Then you understand why i have to do this," I say before turning Pinkie into her opposite. I Teleport away and land in an open area with two trees. I sit down and wait for Rainbow Dash to find me. Of course she were the last one (except Twilight) that hasn't been turned into a reverse version of herself. But, now she finally spots me, and is running at high speed towards me, no doubt trying to deal a blow to me. And now my inner hatred for this little narcissist boils over, bringing down a punch right in her face. I grab her by the throat and emit pure hatred from my eyes, directly into hers. Like the stare, but with a combination of the Boogeyman, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro. Yea, let's just say that she didn't look too well when I was done with her. I quickly turn her opposite, give the wings back to her, and she dashes off (pun unavoidable) to save a fake Cloudsdale. The labyrinth walls go into the ground , and I see Discord and the other element's, before Discord whisks away Twilight to prove her wrong about the element's being on the labyrinth. I don't even bother to listen. I just teleport to my recently created "white room" which is a completely white around me, and it's only a bed in there. I jump into it, before falling asleep. I wake up and look at the clock that wasn't there before. It says "you are needed now at the Discord throne". I slowly go up and stretch, before teleporting there. It seems as though Sparkly-butts friends have turned back into their normal selves, and are soon ready to fire of the element's. Although i'm almost certain that I've damaged Rainbows psyche. "I'll tell you what we've learned, Discord. We've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but it's no doubt worth fighting for!" She exclaimed. I started to fake puke at their words. "Ugh, I've just woken and you will leave us alone until I get a cup of coffee, or else I might banish someone to Sagittarius A," I say tiredly. I summon a cup of coffee and drink it down in of gulp. I feel the caffeine working on me, and I feel less tired already. "Okay, i'm ready, do your worst," I say, and not a minute later, the light-show begins. After a couple of minutes, the beam fires right down towards us. Discord looks genuinely scared, but I just stand there, waiting. Exactly when the beam is about to hit us, I put my left hand forth, and it dissipates. Everyone looks at me. The element's with confusion or fear, sometimes both, and Discord with a surprised look. I look on him, giving him a grin before turning towards the mane 6. "So, your element's didn't work, seems like we have all the cards, don't you agree Discord?" I ask him. "Indeed we have, by the way, like what I've done with the place?" He asks me back. "Yes, it looks quite nice," I say to him. "How did the element's not work?" I hear Twilight talk, probably to herself. "Well," she says before exclaiming "but the princesses will," and she is interrupted by Golden in his fnaf 1 form. I wonder how it went with 'taking care' of them princesses. Hope Luna didn't get too hurt. "The operation was successful. Both alicorn princesses have been taken care of," he says. Oh the look on their faces. "B-but...HOW!" She screams. Well, I only have one thing to say about this. "Schackmatt"
