On the second day after they first appeared, the goats created more pandemonium in Appleloosa, Cloudsdale, and Canterlot, and created a huge inconvenience for the Pie Family at the Rock Farm. The buffalos were outraged after their stampede was disrupted and the sheriff station in Appleloosa needed to be rebuilt. The pegasi in Cloudsdale worked tirelessly to repair the weather factory. The library in Canterlot also needed to be rebuilt, and Rarity was dismayed that another one of her boutiques was desecrated. Blueblood and Sassy Saddles needed time to recover from their emotional distress. The Pie Family had to go through a lot of hassle to retrieve Holder’s Boulder and return it to its proper place. Twilight went to Appleloosa, Cloudsdale, and Canterlot while remaining unaware of what transpired at the Rock Farm. She hoped to find anything the goats might have left behind but once again came up with nothing, much to her growing frustration. Due to recent events, Celestia decreed that royal guards patrol every town and city in Equestria and report to her and Twilight if they encounter the goats. 
 
Somewhere in Equestria, Chrysalis incessantly searched for the four rumbunctious goats ever since she first heard about them. However, she had no luck tracking them down and the day was nearly coming to an end. Just as she was getting aggravated by the lack of success, she came across a herd of goats at an open field. Hoping that her luck was turning around, Chrysalis approached them in her unicorn disguise. 
 
“Hey there.” Chrysalis began speaking to the goats, and they turned their heads toward her. “Tell me, which of you have been bringing turmoil to the ponies?” 
 
All of the goats just stared at her for a while and then turned their attention away from her. Chrysalis transformed back to her true form and fired a beam of magic to see how they would react. The goats fled in terror, much to her disappointment. None of them were the creatures she was looking for. With nothing going her way, she screamed at the sky in rage. 
 
The next day arrived and in the chaos dimension, Discord was looking forward to another day of chaos. Though he enjoyed watching all the chaos his goats created, the draconequus also made absolutely sure that no living being, aside from timberwolves, would receive injuries that are extremely painful or life-threatening. He also made sure that no traces of the goats were left behind so nopony, especially Twilight, would get a clue on their origins. He wouldn’t want anypony to suspect him. He turned on his TV to see how the ponies were doing, and he saw royal guards vigilantly keeping their eyes out for the troublemaking goats. He gazed inside the Castle of Friendship, where Twilight and Spike were having a conversation. 
 
“Any word on the goats? Are they causing trouble again?” Spike asked. 
 
“Net yet, Spike.” Twilight answered. “But once the royal guards see them, we will know about it.” 
 
Discord then took some time to ponder. 
 
“What to do? What to do?” The Lord of Chaos wondered while rubbing his chin. “I feel like it’s not time for another confrontation between the goats and the friendship ponies.” 
 
The TV responded by showing the other kingdoms, revealing that none of Celestia’s royal guards patrol there. 
 
“Now that I think about it, I already annoyed ponies plenty of times before. Maybe... I should focus on harassing the other creatures for today.” Discord uttered while tapping his fingers together. 
 



At Griffonstone, a certain griffon named Gilda was running a stall and selling scones to griffons who were eager to taste them. Ever since Rainbow Dash and Pinkie’s friendship mission in Griffonstone, life has been great for her. Seeing other griffons enjoy her scones made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 
 
When there were no more customers in line, Gilda started counting her Bits. 
 
“I should visit Dash again someday.” Gilda thought to herself. 
 
“Baaaaaaaaaaah...” 
 
“Huh?” A lone creature caught her attention. Standing before her was the brown goat, and it was wearing some kind of strange metal helmet. 
 
Gilda and the goat then stared at each other. 
 
“So... what do you want?” Gilda asked after a few minutes. 
 
The goat did not answer and continued staring at her. 
 
“Uh, if you want a scone, you’ll have to pay for it. I’m not giving these away for free.” Gilda said. 
 
The goat then snatched a scone with its tongue and devoured it. 
 
“Hey! Do you have any Bits for that!?” Gilda shouted. 
 
Afterwards, the goat wrecked Gilda’s stall with a headbutt. At that moment, the griffon began feeling what she hasn’t felt in a long time: anger. 
 
As the goat ate the scones lying on the ground, Gilda roared with fury. However, before the griffon could lash out at the goat, the latter's helmet released an energy beam. Gilda was taken by surprise when the beam connected to her head. 
 
“W-wha... what are you doing?!” Gilda cried out. To her shock, the beam was enlarging her head. 
 
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! MY HEAD!!!! WHAT’S HAPPENING TO MY HEAD?!!!!” She shrieked in terror. 
 
Once the beam stopped, Gilda’s head was five times larger than the rest of her body. Her head felt so heavy that she couldn’t lift herself. 
 
“What’s going on?” Another griffon, Greta, arrived at the scene after hearing a commotion. 
 
Once she noticed Gilda’s huge head, the goat struck her with the same strange beam, enlarging her head as well and making her cry out in horror. 
 
Later in Grampa Gruff’s house, the elderly griffon heard several screams coming from outside. 
 
“What’s that racket?” He said irritably. 
 
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. 
 
“What do you want!?” Grampa Gruff said rudely as he opened the door and ended up meeting the goat face to face. 
 
The next thing the elderly griffon saw was the goat unleashing its head-enlarging beam on him. 
 



Inside a hut at Yakyakistan, a yak played a yovidaphone while the audience blissfully listened to the music. The grey goat entered the hut just when the music finished. It approached the stage while the audience applauded the performance. 
 
The yak that just played the yovidaphone quickly took notice of the goat. 
 
“Yak never seen strange creature before. Has strange creature come to listen to yovidaphone?” 
 
The goat used its tongue to swipe the yovidaphone and slammed it against the floor, breaking the instrument and making all the yaks in the hut gasp in shock. 
 
“Strange creature dares break yak’s favorite yovidaphone?! Yak is mad!!!” The yovidaphone owner snapped. 
 
The goat latched its tongue on the yak and swung him around like a wrecking ball. Chaos ensued as the goat ran around using its captive to demolish one hut after another. The yak was eventually tossed aside after nearly half of Yakyakistan lied in ruins. 
 
The goat was soon confronted by a group of enraged yaks led by Prince Rutherford. 
 
“PUNY CREATURE HAS MADE YAKS ANGRY!!!! YAKS WANT TO SMASH PUNY CREATURE!!!!” Rutherford bellowed. 
 
The goat then underwent a strange transformation. Its body became muscular with some patches of fur now missing. 
 
“Puny creature wishes to challenge yaks!? YAKS WILL CRUSH PUNY CREATURE!!!!” 
 
The goat and Rutherford charged at each other and butted heads. After a short struggle, Rutherford was overpowered and sent flying across the village, much to the other yaks’ surprise. 
 
While they were still trying to process this unexpected development, the goat proceeded to charge at them next. A short time later, numerous yaks were piled up in the snow right outside Yakyakistan. 
 



Elsewhere, the black goat was taking a leisurely stroll in the Dragon Lands. It came across Garble and several other teenage dragons having a belching contest. The goat walked towards them while they took turns showing off their fire breath. 
 
“Hey, look.” Charcoal pointed a finger at the creature. 
 
The other dragons then noticed the goat, and it was just staring at them. 
 
“Well, what do we have here?” Garble said after seeing an unexpected guest. 
 
“That is one strange creature.” Billy said. 
 
“It looks ridiculous if you ask me.” Backdraft added. 
 
“I say we just found something new to play with.” Garble commented. 
 
“But why is this thing here in the first place?” Fume asked. 
 
“Does it matter? Since it’s not a pony, I guess Dragon Lord Ember won’t mind what we do with it.” Garble remarked. “Here’s a thought. Let’s use if for target practice.” 
 
“Good idea. But first, make it run.” Clump suggested. “It’ll be fun to chase it.” 
 
“I like the way you think.” Garble grinned as he walked up to the goat. 
 
“Go on! RUN!!!” Garble roared in the goat’s face in an attempt to frighten it. 
 
The goat did not flinch. It just gazed at Garble with a blank expression. 
 
“Hey! Are you deaf?! I said get running!!!” Garble yelled again. 
 
The goat then let out a powerful roar. Garble and his fellow dragons were blown away by the goat’s voice and they fell into a pool of lava. 
 
Throughout the Dragon Lands, a strange roar could be heard over and over again and what followed after each roar was dragons being catapulted into the air. 
 



At the Changeling Kingdom, the changelings were spending their time doing activities they enjoyed, such as theater, dancing, and arts and crafts. Life in the hive has been even better after Pharynx came around. They were blissfully going about their day, completely unaware that their peaceful day was about to be turned upside down. 
 
During craft time, a group of changelings were making cups, bowls, and pots. Once they were finished, they took a moment to admire their creations. 
 
Suddenly, one of the changelings was hit in the head by a round object. 
 
“Ow! What was that?!” 
 
The changelings then saw that it was a baseball. 
 
“Where did this come from?” The changeling wondered as he picked up the baseball. 
 
“Baaaaaaaaah...” 
 
What then caught their attention was the white goat, and it was carrying a baseball pitching machine on its back. The goat wasted no time firing a baseball barrage. The changelings cried out in pain as they were repeatedly hit by baseballs, and they quickly fled. 
 
The goat casually strolled around the hive and instilled panic by shooting baseballs at any changeling in sight. Pharynx stepped in and transformed into his flying spider-like monster form. The goat fired baseballs at him, which only annoyed him. Pharynx swatted the creature, launching it towards a wall and breaking the pitching machine on its back. 
 
Pharynx narrowed his eyes at the goat as the latter got back on its hooves without showing any pain. 
 
“If you don’t want any trouble, leave while I’m asking nicely.” Pharynx growled. 
 
The goat’s eyes then glowed bright white. From its mouth, the goat shot out a blue spark at the changeling. Once it struck Pharynx, he began flailing uncontrollably as his body was surrounded by blue sparks. 
 
The goat later went to the throne room, where Thorax and many changelings prepared to take a stand. 
 
“Baaaaaaah...” The goat launched a blue spark at them too. 
 



Inside the chaos dimension, Discord was once again entertained from watching his goats’ handiwork. However, the day was still young and the Lord of Chaos wanted more. He teleported the brown goat to the Kirin village. Once it appeared in the village, the goat was now dressed like a stage magician. 
 
The surrounding kirins immediately became curious about their visitor. The goat stood on its hind legs and used its front hooves to throw out a flurry of playing cards. 
 
Thinking that the goat was putting on a performance, the kirins gathered around it. When it was back to standing on four legs again, the goat spit out a ball of fire at a nearby house, blowing it up. The kirins gasped and then flew into a panic as the goat aimlessly launched more fire balls, blowing up more houses, some fruit stalls, and a garden. 
 
Some kirins transformed into niriks and attacked the goat with fiery blasts. The goat dodged their attacks and continued bringing destruction to the village. 
 
Finally, Rain Shine immobilized the goat with telekinesis, and the niriks sent it flying out of the village with explosive blasts. 
 



Discord then came up with another idea. For the day’s grand finale, he transported all four goats to Mount Aris. 
 
The brown goat and white goat were sent to the beach. The brown goat had a jet pack strapped to its back and a megaphone placed on top of its head. The white goat was equipped with a firework launcher. To start off, the brown goat approached a group of pony tourists who were taking a stroll on the beach. It headbutted some of them and then latched its tongue on one pony. Activating its jet pack, the goat took flight and dragged the pony with it. The white goat launched firework rockets at tourists, hippogriffs, and seaponies that were swimming close to the beach. After landing, the brown goat used its megaphone to blow away anything that was unfortunate enough to be in front of the creature. Meanwhile, the other two goats were wreaking havoc in the hippogriff village. The grey goat used eye lasers to tear down homes while the black goat let out powerful roars to blast away anything in its path. It did not take long for Mount Aris to be filled with screams. 
 
Discord had a wide grin on his face as he watched hippogriffs, seaponies, and tourists scampered around frantically. 
 



Back at Ponyville, Twilight had just finished with teaching the day’s classes in the School of Friendship. She went to her office to grade papers. Having not heard anything about the goats all day, she wondered what they were up to. Spike then came into the office with an urgent message from Princess Celestia, who wanted Twilight to come to Canterlot right away. 
 
Following Celestia’s request, Twilight later arrived at the Canterlot royal castle. She was surprised to see Ember, Thorax, Grampa Gruff (whose head has gone back to normal), Rutherford, Seaspray, and Rain Shine there. They explained about their ordeals and they were all utterly furious at the goats’ actions. Twilight and Celestia were surprised to hear that the goats targeted the other kingdoms.
