"Do you hear the voices too?!"





"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" The screaming stopped as both Twilight and Luna landed face first on the ground. Luna was the first one to recover from the fall. She spat something out, it was a broken tooth. She touched the gap where the tooth  used to be. "That's going to hurt." She moaned in pain. She then looked around in search of anypony else.

She then saw Twilight lying on the ground, not moving. Luna rushed over to the unconscious princess. She then started shaking her to wake her up. Twilight quickly woke up. "Are you alright?!" Luna asked worriedly. "I'm alri..." She started answering before stopping as she noticed her surroundings.

It was... wild.

Little cottages straight from ponyville stuck on top of skyscrapers from manehattan, hospitals like buildings colored in twelve colors, horizontal buildings, houses made out of non-euclidean geometry and much stranger. Mostly eyesores.

"That's insulting." A voice said from behind them. Luna felt her stomach fall as she recognised the voice. Twilight groggily turned around. Her mouth fell open as she saw the individual behind her. Luna then turned around. "You!" Luna said with a low, somber tone, anger obvious in her voice. "Hiii!" "Long time no see." "Three thousand, three hundred and fifty-seven years to be exact."

"Who's that?" Twilight asked hesitantly. I'm Eris. The middle head, which reminded Twilight of Discord's head, then winked to nopony in particular. "And i'm mayhem!" 

The one with massive teeth added joyfully. "We're actually all called Anarchy, my sisters might pretend to have different names but they never got it legally changed. Both due to the lack of trying and the amount of paperwork that it would take. Also said paperwork would burst into fire the second we get within writing distance of it." The blindfolded head, with a horn coming out of her left eye. "Shut up!"

Luna simply glared at the three headed individual while two of them told the third, very unbothered one, to shut up. "Girls, let's focus on our old friend." The middle head, then looked towards Luna. "Do you know them, Luna?" Twilight asked hesitantly. "Yes. And it's quite unpleasant." Luna answered, poison dripping with every sentence. "You wound me!" The goat's head said in an exaggerated manner. "Oh woe me!" The fenned-like head added.

"Could someone explain what's happening?" Twilight asked sheepishly. "This THING in front of you is named Anarchy." Luna answered without looking away from Anarchy, with disdain clear in her voice. "We met around three millennia ago, but less than three millennia and a century ago if I remember correctly." "Correct." "We've been waiting here for around three centuries preparing the DUNGEON OF VENGEANCE for you." "And a sizeable amount of chimeras and chimeran vehicles for chaos." "And explosives!" Added both of the heads.

"Vengeance, wh..." "Because that BITCH... Twilight was interrupted as an vengeful and forceful smile appeared on all three heads. ...Imprisonned us in an minusccule crystal for three FUCKING MILENIA'S!!"  Twilight blinked, clearly scarred, before asking another question. "Could someone actually explain how you know each other and why..." She shook her hooves around to emphasize her confusion. "... everything is like it is?"

"She came to Equastrie a bit over the aforementioned three-melania's. She then caused a lot of chaos, like Discord did..." Luna started explaining. "Our younger brother." The blindfolded head interrupted. "...but unlike him these three actively caused death. Horrible deaths." 

"Like melting, sudden loss of limbs, unexplained reversal of lungs, imminent increase of gravity..." The blindfolded head then started giving examples. "...loss of all liquids in the body, bullets, reversed bullets, hyper efficient organs, unexplained combustion, explained combustion..." "STOP YOU MONSTROUS FIEND!!" Luna then shouted to spare Twilight from more audible torture, as she now looked very sick and horrified."To be fair 100-percent of those were her ideas." The goat head said while pointing at the blidfolded one who nodded in affirmation.

"Get to the point." Luna almost growled. "Simple, get the teddy bear of salvation then head towards the temple of misery before heading to the old rift, that I closed, and then we have an epic battle. "Here's a map!" The three then disappeared before a map drawn with rainbow colored crayons.

"Luna..." Twilight said through gritted teeth, her hair messy clear sign of an imminent mental breakdown. "...could you please give me an logical and detailed explanation so I could understand even a shred of what's happening?!" She then felt on the ground slightly sobbing. Luna put a wing over her to try and comfort her.

Luna sat down beside her. "When I was around fourteen I started traveling around the continent, as me and Celestia did not yet rule over what would be Equestria. And the three tribes were still at each other's throats." She started explaining. "I met two unicorns, a young dragon mage and gryphon alchemist who would accompany me on my voyage for the next few years." She looked happy for a moment, reminiscing about past adventures.

"When I was sixteen strange things started happening in some villages near the coast, all inhabited by earth ponies. Just rumors from seemingly untrustworthy and xenophobic farmers. What they told was often contradictory." She then sighed. "The truth was far worse. We'd fought some evil wizards and necromancers wanna-be. So we foolishly thought that we could handle it with ease."

"When we reached the village it looked normal, but then we met the villagers." Luna's face twisted in sadness. "Their eyes were rainbow colored, literally. Their pupils were indistinguishable from the white of the eyes, which were not white anymore. Manes ripped out, laughing so hard that blood poured out of their troats, carrying farming tools with murderous intent." A lone tear appeared on her face. "We tried to reason with them, but madness had overtaken them."

"It was very one sided. While they outnumbered us, our magic gave us an advantage and they did not care for tactics simply rushing at us and hitting their own." It became harder for her to speak. Twilight simply listened trying to keep calm, though tears poured down her face. "We then found the source of the madness."

"A flower pot."

Luna then stayed silent for a moment. "Wh-hat do you mean ?" Twilight asked hesitantly. "A flower pot, a normal, indistinguishable and empty pot. The only reason we knew it was the cause, was when my gryffon and unicorn companions were overtaken by the same madness as the villagers. Fortunately it wasn't instant, allowing us to destroy the pot and free them from its vile influence."

"We would face so much worse." Twilight's eyes went wide. "Those Chimeras that anarchy mentioned..." A look of disgust appeared on the older princess's face . "...are abominations of nature, evil and cruel, taking joy in violence and debauchery, feeling no empathy or mercy for anyone, not even themselves." 

"Village after village, towns and castle's, even the mightiest of earth pony fortress at the time had fallen." Twilight couldn't help but think about how this was a piece of history that could be found nowhere else. It quickly faded due to the grim nature of the story. "Fields grew poisonous plants that would send anypony that ingested them to enter into a frenzy, Abominations made out of dozens of stitched bodies, ghosts and undead creatures besieging lone pony communities, it rained fire, the night was lighted by three unnatural moons, the day plagued by dark and malevolent shadows..." Luna started breathing faster and faster, not noticing that she had started to cry, as she gave more examples.

"And no help would come. All of it was contained to a single area around the coast. No-one knew about what was happening to Ponies, dragons, donkeys, zebras, hippogriffs and more knew nothing about the threat that was slowly spreading." 

"And then we met them." A look of hatred appeared on the princess of the night face for a short moment. "All of it had been done for their entertainment. All that dead and suffering simply because they COULD!!" Luna screamed in rage, scaring the younger princess. Noticing that Twilight was now shivering, she started caresing her with her wings to try and reassure her.

After calming down she continued telling her story. "We tried to stop her. But she was too unpredictable, capable of reading others' minds and ironically predicting others actions with ease. We had other mages and farmers join us in our fight. None survived." A few more tears poured down her face. "Her powers of chaos were just too great. But..." She added thoughtfully.

"...it was a double edged sword." "How so?" Twilight asked, having calmed down after Luna's previous outburst. "Their own mind would betray them. Their powers were so chaotic that their own plans would backfire. They could read minds, but not choose which memory to read. Sometimes they would snap their fingers to, let's say, change the weather but instead their arm would explode."

"So, when we started crafting a gem to use against them, their own powers kept it hidden from them. Using gryffon alchemy, dragon scales and magic, alongside unicorn and alicorn magic, we created a magical gem capable of containing massive amounts of magic."  Luna smiled slightly. "It was so satisfaying when we caught them by surprise and sealed them in the gem, ending their reign of terror." 

"The sounds of them trying desperately to escape their new prison was music to my ears." Her smile then disappeared on her face. "Me and my companions split up. One of the unicorns, Bright Sight, being the oldest and wisest of us all took the gem with him. And I never thought about it again."

The both of them stood there silently for a few minutes. "We have to stop here." Twilight said, knowing that it was obvious. Luna silently agreed. The two adult and very powerful alicorns stood up and prepared to face Anarchy.





Anarchy then snapped four of her fingers. Two voices then let out a loud and hysterical laughter joined by a third voice chuckling.
