Discord had just enough energy to do it. Bringing life into the world was hard, but he could do it. Six ponies. That's what he needed. He had the perfect designs for them, and the perfect talents.
The first of his creations, a unicorn, had a straight orange mane with two streaks of light and dark green in it. She had a yellowish-orange coat that Discord liked quite a bit. Her eyes were a slightly darker shade of yellowish-orange. Her name, Discord decided, would be Backfire. He smiled to himself as he decided on her cutie mark. An explosion. Pure chaos. He chuckled to himself.
His second creation was another unicorn, with yellow styled hair, though it wouldn't stay that way long. Not if her personality had anything to do with it. Her jet black coat was Discords favorite part of her. Her eyes were orange. The name for this one would be simple. Muddy. Her cutie mark would make the unicorn she was modeled after scream in terror. Dirt. Her cutie mark would be dirt. Lovely dirt.
His next design would be a pegasus. Orange, he believed, would be the right color for the coat. Yellow-green would be correct eye color, if he was going to stay with his color scheme. Her hair would have to be the shades between black and white, it was only fitting without having to remember the colors, and if he did do that it would probably end up looking too similar. The cutie mark would have a sloth with grey fur. Her name would be Grey Sloth. Discord was enjoying his creation game.
The other pegasus design would be a lavender coated mare. Her hair would be green. Her eyes would have to be orange. Discord thought about her name, deciding that the name Soar Brash would have to do. Her cutie mark would be a cloud that often represented somepony running away in cartoons. Not his best design, but she'd do.
The first Earth pony design would be a straight haired Earth pony resembling that element of laughter pony when she gets upset. This design would be all bluish green. He would've done just green, but the blue just seemed to need to be there. The eyes though, they would be orange. What was they opposite of parties? Being lonely? Yes, that would have to do for now. The cutie mark would be...a silhouette? Sure, that would work. Finally, the name. Loner? Kinda dumb for a name, but it would be sufficient for the plan.
The last pony would be the second Earth Pony. Her hair needed to be in ponytails, and it needed to be purple. Her body would be blue. She would have freckles. Her eyes would be pink, because red would seem to sinister and she'd attract attention. Discord couldn't have his creations getting too much attention. Her cutie mark would be three Z's, and her name would be Laze.
It was well into the night when Discord created his mares. They were beautiful, at least to him, and they had something about them that just screamed chaos.
"Where are we?" Backfire asked. Discord laughed and his ponies jumped.
"Do not be afraid, my children. I am your creator. The rulers of this land had me imprisoned in stone, and I need you to help me escape." Discord reached deep down inside himself, finding his strongest chaotic qualities, and created element necklaces for his ponies, with a crown for Backfire. His creations looked confused. "These are your elements. You embody them. Laze," he addressed his latest design, "You are the element of lies. Loner, you are the element of tears. Soar Brash, your represent hatred. Grey Sloth, you represent treachery. Muddy, you represent selfishness. Backfire, you represent anti-magic."
"Anti-magic?" Backfire asked, in a voice exactly like Twilight Sparkle. Discord laughed again.
"Anti-magic is what you are. Your spells always backfire, and never work. Your magic Sometimes works in reverse of what you are trying to do, and your magic is chaotic." Discord stared at his ponies for a while before speaking again. "You must go to Ponyville. The elements of harmony live there, and you must use your elements to defeat them. Be careful though, my children. The ponies that control Harmony's elements are smart. They will know you are up to no good if you cause too much chaos. You need to infiltrate there group and attack from the inside."
"That sounds like a lot of work," Grey Sloth said, "I'd rather not. Can't you find someone else to do it?" Rainbow Dash's voice did not belong to a pony the likes of Grey.
"No, now go to Ponyville before I am forced to destroy you." Discord watched happily as the six chaotic mares ran away in terror. They were going to help him destroy harmony, whether they liked it or not.

"Twilight? Are you here?" Fluttershy called into the library. The purple unicorn came to the door. She looked upset. "Twilight, I'm really sorry that I couldn't control my animals yesterday. They didn't do too much damage, did they?"
Twilight began to smile. "Oh, that's okay Fluttershy. I know animals can be so hard to control sometimes." Twilight was glad that Fluttershy didn't seem to hate her books. She had even made sure they weren't badly damaged. Fluttershy couldn't be a book hater.
"Um, yes. Well, you know Twilight, you didn't have to watch the animals if you didn't want to." Twilight cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"But I wanted to help, Fluttershy," she insisted, "What made you think I didn't want to help with the animals?"
"Oh, um...nothing..."
"Okay, Fluttershy," Twilight said slowly, "I hope you didn't have any trouble getting the animals home."
"Oh, no. They were just perfect."
"That's good. Well, thanks for stopping by, Fluttershy." She smiled.
"No problem, Twilight. I'll see you later."
"Bye, Fluttershy." Twilight said, closing the door.

A very upset Pinke Pie was bouncing sadly through Ponyville. Applejack spotted her friend and quickly went to her, leaving her apple cart unattended. "Hey, Pinkie," she called as she ran over, "Sorry 'bout yesterday, Pinkie. I just had a lot of work to do, livin' on he farm and all." She kicked the ground with a hoof. Pinkie looked at her for a second before breaking into a huge grin.
"Oh, okay, Applejack. Don't worry, I postponed the party until today so you wouldn't miss it. You aren't busy are you?" Applejack smiled.
"Not today, Pinkie," she said, "I can't wait to go to your party."
"Oh good, you're not busy! You work all the time, and I can't believe that you almost always manage to make it to my parties. You do a lot of work. I bet that makes you tired, and then you can come to my party to relax."
"I do like to relax at your parties when I can," Applejack admitted, "Thanks for talkin' with me, Pinkie."
"You're welcome, Applejack. See you at the party!"

"Rarity?" a voice called up to the white unicorn, "Will you please come down here?" It was Rainbow. Rarity armed herself with a perfume bottle, in case Rainbow was muddy again, and slowly went down the stairs. She was surprised to find that Rainbow wasn't muddy. She even looked like she showered that morning. "Rarity, I want to apologize for crashing into the boutique yesterday and getting you all dirty. I know how important it is for you to look nice. I mean, I wouldn't want to buy a dress from somepony covered in mud."
"Um...Thank you Rainbow, for your consideration," Rarity said, slightly shocked, "I am sorry I screamed at you. I know you didn't mean to come crashing through the window. It was just an accident, was it not?" Rainbow nodded sheepishly. "I know how important it is for you to practice. The Wonderbolts don't just let anyone onto their team. You must need to practice all the time."
"Uh, yeah," Rainbow said, equally as shocked as Rarity. "What's with the perfume bottle?" Rarity hid the bottle behind herself with an embarrassed grin.
"Oh, nothing," she said, setting the bottle down. Rainbow cocked her head to the side, a grin playing on her face.
"Okay," she said, "Well, thanks for talking to me, Rarity."
"Oh, anytime dear," Rarity said as Rainbow let herself out of the boutique.
