Of Loyalty and Chaos

by PxDnNinja


Prologue

Discord had had better days. After years in prison he had managed to finally break free and was thoroughly enjoying his freedom. Logic was finally unseated by disorder. It was a beautiful, chaotic world.

Well, it was. Until this moment. Once again the Elements had pulled together and where combining their powers against him. A quick glance down and he saw the stone around his feet, growing quickly up his leg.

'No no no. I have to escape this rainbow! I can't be lost to stone again!' Discord panicly though as he cycled through every power of chaos he had. Spells flew in every direction, but few made it outside the prismatic column currently turning him into stone. As the stone reach his waste, his own logical way of thinking broke down and he just channeled his magic wildly.

'COME ON!' Was all he could scream in his head as the stone reached his neck. Moments before encompassing him completely, one jolt of chaotic power managed to break through the power of the elements, but was lost into the sky over Ponyville. Sadly for Discord, this did nothing to save him as he finally was turned to statue once again.

-----------------------------------

A single bolt of chaotic magic jumped around in the atmosphere. Like chaos in general, it didn't maintain a time and space. One moment it would be over Canterlot, then over Manehatten.

This continued for a solid week (relative to Equestria, to the bolt if could have been years as chaos ignores the effects of time) to the ponies on the ground, though none of them knew about this rampant force of chaos. Until suddenly it reached a nexus point over the city of Ponyville. It was at this point that the energy vanished, but in its place something else appeared...

------------------------------------

Wind?

This was the only thought a certain pony could think as he woke up. Cracking his neck, he realized he wasn't on his bed...or anything for that matter.

"What the heck!?" As he opened his eyes, he saw the ground rapidly approaching. What looked like an orchard.

"Oh crap oh crap oh crap!" Rapidly trying to backpedal, the pony managed to catch air with his wings and slow his decent enough to be nonlethal, and aligned himself more with the ground as he impacted it and started bouncing towards a rather large tree.

-----------------------------------

Big Mac stopped for a moment as he thought he heard yelling in the distance.

'Probably jus' Ms. Dash doing somethin wild again.' He thought. The noise was from the sky, so typically in Ponyville, that was something to do with the Rainbow maned trickster. Shaking his head, he approached the next tree to buck and reared back.

A loud thud followed along with apples landing on Macs head. Mac turned and looked at the tree, which he had yet to kick...

'What the?' Walking around, he found a dark purple pegasus unconcious on the ground against the tree. Further observation showed a large gash in the ground where this pony clearly crash landed. Mac quickly checked that the pony was still breathing, but noticed one of its wings was an an odd angle. He quickly loaded this pony into the wagon with apples and took off for the clinic.

'AJ will just havta do without. Gotta get dis pony to the hospital.'

---------------------------------------

At the Ponyville clinic things got interesting.

"Ok, so this pony just fell from the sky into your fields?" The doctor asked Big Mac while standing next to a bed with said pony on it.

"Eeyup." Mac responded in his typical ways. Both glanced down at the pony in question.

"Well, we will have to wait for him to wake up to find anything. We have no records on any pony matching his..unique description." The doctor said, writing some things down on a clipboard. Judging by the story Mac had given, it seemed this pegasus hit the ground without ever trying to fly, as though he jumped from a cloud for some reason.
This, along with his lack of a cutie mark though appearing to be about the same age as Mac (though not nearly as big), raised many questions.

"Well, we will take it from here Big Mac. Thanks for getting him here as quickly as possible. I'm sure your sister is expecting you back on the farm." The doctor said with a smile, leading Mac out of the room while nurses started cleaning cuts from the injured pony.

Once Mac was out and the doctor was in his office, he started filling out paperwork on the patient.

NAME: ?
AGE: young adult
Coat Color: Dark Purple
Race: Pegasus
Identifying Marks: Lack of Cutie Mark.
Injuries: Fractured Right wing. Several lacerations. Concussion.
Other Info: No one seems to know who he is. Could be a suicide attempt, or a trick gone terribly wrong.

The final note he wrote gave the doctor pause. If this was some sort of flying trick, everyone in Ponyville knew an expert on just those sorts of things.

"A bad trick huh? Perhaps Rainbow Dash will know something.. NURSE!" The doctor called to a passing nurse.

"Yes Doctor?"

"Send a messenger to the library. Ask Ms. Sparkle to come here as soon as possible, and bring Rainbow Dash if she can." The doctor requested. A quick nod and the nurse was out the door. the doctor leaned back, looking over the paperwork. If anyone could figure out what was going on, those two would be able to.

AUTHORS NOTE: This is a very short intro. Most future chapters will be much much larger. Also expect to see more with the main characters. This isn't a completely original idea, but the story has been in my head for a few weeks, and figure it is time to write it down. This is my first FiM fic, so please feel free to comment and provide feedback. Hope you enjoy the story.
