"Dealing with how chaos works....and how harmony works.....what a workout."
"You thought you had it hard.....I had to deal with havoc I caused when I was evil...."
When brothers fight it's a way of showing that we love each other and mean well.
As we continue our walk something beyond the trees start to move “We are not alone here Ruby....”
“Its about time you noticed......keep your guard up and we’ll be fine....”
I keep moving closer and closer until something leaps out at me from the trees at pounces at me “Brace yourself boy!”
As the creature lands on me I soon notice it’s a manticore and it’s extremely annoyed at my presence “Ruby your world is full of many unbelievable creatures!”
“Yes, but this is just a young manticore so it shouldn’t be too hard for you now so keep your guard up and it should be brought down easily!”
The manticore tries to impale me with its tail only to miss, but as I dodge it I get hit by its claws as it slashes at me “That’s not keeping your guard up.....” Ruby says annoyed by my ignorance “Well sorry for not knowing exactly where I have to go to avoid something with multiple things that may harm me!”
The manticore tosses me around like a ragdoll and soon tosses me in between two trees and ignorantly I grab both of them with each hand and soon the manticore starts charging at me again, but as it made contact my arms stayed latched on the trees “What the heck......” is all I managed to say as my arms just stretched like a rubber band instead of just letting go of the trees and soon the manticore stops and my arms retract almost immediately launching it into multiple trees “How did I......” is all I managed to say after seeing what I did.
The manticore comes back even more annoyed and stops in front of me and soon roars in an attempt to scare me into running, but my body reacts on its own after this and roars even louder which frightens off the manticore into running away like a kitten “Nice one Baron how did you turn yourself into a human slingshot, and how did you manage to roar like that?” Ruby says which fills me confusion “What you mean you didn’t do that?!”
“Nope....that was all your doing Baron.....you are getting in tune with your inner chaos......”
“Oh god are you serious......whatever this is nothing that will affect me greatly in any way....I hope...”
We continue walking and soon see the town “There’s ponyville Ruby soon we’ll get your body and continue our main mission to get Discord.”
“Lets not forget to get rid of at least one of the elements of harmony as well boy.”
“Fine fine if it will satisfy your needs for a vague sneak attack.”
It is still night even though it felt like we took hours getting through that forest, but none the less I stay at the edge of town by the entrance of the forest and lay back on a tree and close my eyes “Let me give sleep another chance.....” and before I knew it I was out.
Meanwhile on Earth in a secret laboratory........
(Time has advanced to the point where other characters will take over for their part.....sometimes a certain character will have a chapter all towards himself or herself.)
Knytt's view
“Hurry you sacks of waste I want this teleportation device up and running in ten minutes....I finally found a trace of life from my cursed twin and its on another world...I want to get over there and do to him what the cave in did not!” is what I said to my workers “I may have lost the professor, but that does not mean I am stripped of my technology or power......so get moving!”
The men rush around everywhere connecting pieces of the machine as like ants working around an anthill and soon the complex machine started to power up “Perfect......alert me when at full power as I want to waste no time in finding my idiot twin.....if he thinks he can escape me like this....hahahahaha.”
“Knytt sir the teleportation device is fully operational just enter the coordinates from the device and stand inside the machine and you will go to the area where he is....of course it won’t place you directly near him...and you won’t be able to bring your device to find him.” one of the workers say to me “No don’t worry for me on that....our hatred for each other act like a magnet that never lets us stay apart from each other for too long.”
As I place the homing device in a socket the machine whirs and soon I move to get inside it, but I am cut short as two unwanted nuisances burst in and interrupt me “Knytt hold it right there!” said the older of the two children that belonged to the professor.
“Well if it isn’t the offspring of the late professor....to what do I owe this lovely intrusion...”
“We’re here to get you for killing our father back in that cave!”
“OH HOW ADORABLE YOU THINK THE TWO OF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF HARMING ME!” as I say this I laugh wholeheartedly which just angers them but that just makes me laugh even harder “Listen you two go away before I decide to mount you on my wall....i’m going to meet up with my twin and I don’t want to deal with you two....how did you even find me here....” I asked to the duo who were standing with me in what I thought was a private laboratory made by the professor “Our father made many secret labs like this in case people started hunting him down to stop him from creating things, but he made so many he had to make a map to find any he needed to go to that weren’t already discovered....and this one was the one he went to the most!”
“Fantastic......it doesn’t matter I won’t be here for long the device is done and I am off to visit Baron in wherever he may have landed.”
“What do you mean....Baron died in the cave in!” the girl says which makes me laugh “No he didn’t my sweet he was taken someplace else......done possibly by the ghost in his arm....but he won’t escape me as i’m off to meet him now.”
“Like hell we’ll let you do that!” the older rushes towards me as I stand in the machine only for him to get knocked down by some of my workers “You are adorable.....now I must be off.....gentlemen don’t hesitate in eliminating any way of them following me.”
The machine starts off and soon I am no longer in the lab but the flash covers my eyes and prevents me from seeing anything else.

Back in the lab.....
“Knytt made it through now eliminate the lab along” a guard said as he pressed a button which soon started a countdown
“Wish we have to get out of here Knytt ordered his idiotic guards press the self destruct button so we have to get out of here fast.”
The lab starts to flash red lights and soon the countdown nears zero.....me and wish just barely make it out only to get forcibly tossed by the explosion into the ground “Damn he got away....and now he’s alone in an area we can’t reach to help Baron....” I kick the ground as I say this, but my sister soon speaks up “I don’t think we have no way of getting to him.....I managed to get the blueprints to the device Knytt used to transport himself to where Baron is....I can’t believe he survived.....”
“SIS YOU ARE THE GREATEST......aw man the items he used to make the damn thing are near impossible to get......it will take some time....”
“Don’t worry if we get Locke to help we may get to finish earlier.....he may be able to “liberate” some of the items from wherever they may be to finish faster....and i’m sure he’ll do it if he now knows his brother is still alive!”
“Sis.....stealing isn’t good.....but I have no better options so I guess it’ll have to do....come on lets go get that gun maniac.”

Back to the skies of Equestria over the wastelands.....
The white light blocking my vision disappears and I soon see I am plummeting to the ground from way up in the air “So this is where Baron is eh......good thing I brought this with me.” I pull my flying surfboard from my backpack and start to descend much more easier to the ground and the location I land in has strange looking creatures in armor that is black as night “Might as well add some recruits to help me in my cause....”
Baron's view
Back to the edge of the forest in ponyville.....
As i’m asleep I experience another nightmare “No....stay away....please......” is all I managed to say before I wake up abruptly with a scream that in reality was a roar “Oh god that was horrible.....it was almost going to be a complete perfect sleep...until that happened...”
“Another nightmare my boy?”
“Yes........but enough of that into the town we go.” as I get up and try to walk my feet don’t budge only to have Ruby yell at me “Baron look at your legs!”
I do what he says to see a pool of black sludge dragging me down “What the hell is this thing!” is all I say as the sludge swallows me whole.
“Darkness everywhere.....dammit why only me....”
“Now now....you should be used to it....this is what fuels the Chaos that runs through our veins....” a mysterious voice says to me “WHO’S THERE.....WHO ARE YOU?”
“How do you not know about your other half.....you spent quite a while learning about me the least you could do is know about me the second you hear or see me.”
“Discord............” I say to the voice speaking to me “The one and only my clueless shadow...”
“What do you want from me!”
“I want you to join up with me....like we were meant to Baron....”
“Like hell I will......” as I say this Discords voice grows angry “FINE THEN HAVE IT YOUR WAY!”
As he finished a figure appeared in front of me and to my displeasure it looked exactly like me except the skin tone was purple with white hair and the lack of the demented arm.
“If I kill you here I will be liberated of one of my old problems..” as he says this he launches a ray of dark energy at me “Sadly you can’t use your chaos abilities to the full extent like me.”
I barely dodge the ray of energy just to get hit by another “Dodge all you want you can’t escape my fury you pathetic shadow!” as he says this he closes in on me and tries to land the finishing blow only to be cut off by a wall of fire “Ha even when separated Ruby still guards me greatly from you!”
“The damned hot headed pegasus is still a thorn in my side up to this day....”
“I will never fall to you.......” as I say this my arm ignites and soon my hands glow “And i’ll be damned if I let my mission end like this!” my hands grow brighter and soon I knew what to do “SO FOR NOW I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!” I launch a concentrated beam of light at Discord.
“Agh the harmonic powers of light.....and the pain is even worse with me still being trapped in stone....i’ll let you off......for now.”
Discord teleports away and soon the darkness disappears and I return back to the exact spot I was before I got absorbed by the black sludge.
“Where the hell did you go Baron?” Ruby says as he sees my damaged body on the ground “Nowhere important.......now let’s go before we lose more time.” now as I walk I get interrupted again by the manticore that attacked me earlier “OK NOW YOU GOT ON MY NERVES!” angered I blast the manticore with the new move I learned to fend off Discord sending it flying away deep into the forest.
“WHAT THE HELL BARON WHEN DID YOU LEARN THAT?”
“Just now when I got sucked into that sludge.....”
“A new move eh.....that may come in handy especially seeing as it’s an attack of light energy.....what will you call the new move?”
“You force me to name my weapon and now you force me to name this new attack I learned.......what the hell man.....ok fine......Shining Buster.......happy now Ruby?”
“I’ll be happy once I get my body back and Discord’s head is mounted on a pole.”
“Fine then let’s move on out.....unless something else wants to annoy me!”
I move towards the small town hoping that nothing else attempts to interrupt my mission.
