Discord sat on his throne overlooking the bizarre madness he created. That being his own utopia of chaos which was once Ponyville. Chocolate milk rained down from pink clouds, long legged rabbits raced across the ground in herds, chucks of ground were floating, and many ponies were either taking shelter or have been affected by the chaos both physically and mentally.

He looked back and thought how easy it was to turn those six mares against each other. If only he hadn’t told them that riddle that lured them to the maze. Now they all hate each other and are gray in color.

He sighed as he saw a stallion run out of his house. He snapped his finger and that stallion soon found himself in a hole filled with sticky chewed bubblegum. As the stallion struggled to get out, Discord just laughed hysterically as he only got more covered up in the gum.

“As much as I love all of this, I could use some more amusement. Maybe I can gather many ponies to participate in a series of torturous games. Maybe a new version of red light, green light.”

The thought of a new challenge almost excited him. He could use something new around here like a new kind of prank on the unsuspecting pony or maybe a challenger to fight. If only Princess Celestia was here for that and not hiding in her castle.

“Stop sending letters through Spike. You’ll make him choke or something. It's over, friendship is nothing more but a dumb joke.” -Twilight Sparkle

Princess Celestia stared at the letter in both sadness and disappointment. She didn’t expect her student to give up even with her assistance. Maybe she should’ve helped more instead of staying in the castle controlling the frightened mobs. She could only sigh and ponder where her student is now. Either she managed to hitch a train or chariot ride to Canterlot or she’s living amongst the chaos. 

At that moment an earth pony mare entered the throne room. She was wearing a suit, tie, and sunglasses. Ponies called her Bonbon but a few ponies know her as agent Sweetie Drops. After bowing she looked up to her. “Your majesty we have reason to believe it has happened. Your so called Element of Harmony defense failed.”

“And how did you know about this agent?”

“You forgot I now live in Ponyville and the way you were sending letters to that dragon, I thought that he had stomach flu or something. I managed to sneak out of there with the help of my team. Look I know you want to solve problems with this magic of friendship thing but for once it failed.”

Celestia sighed she wished she could rely more on her student to deal with any threat ever since her Sister’s return. But now she has no choice but to once again rely on a secret foundation she worked so hard to keep secret. “What is your idea?”

“We got to fight fire with fire.” She tossed over a file labeled 682. Celestia read it through, her face growing concerned.

“You absolutely sure this is for the best? This monster caused a lot of damage in Kludgetown. We were lucky to have caught it while your team was there on business.”

Sweetie Drops smiled. “Not to worry, he’s been pretty tamed especially since he befriended a little filly, who is also an anomaly herself.”

Celestia glanced out and could see Ponyville engulfed in chaos. She didn’t want to go through with whatever her agency is doing but she had no choice. Not even with the combined power of herself and Luna could help. “Very well the Foundation has my permission. Just make sure he doesn’t harm anypony.”

“Don’t worry I guarantee he’s going to take care of all your problems.”

A while later a black train with a strange symbol on the front and a couple large boxcars, also with that symbol, slowly approached the outskirts of Ponyville. Inside  one these cars, was a beast that was ready to strike and he was hungry. As the doors to his car opened he looked at a filly that has rode with him the whole way. She looked worried but the reptilian like monster looked at her and spoke with a low groggy voice. “Don’t worry my friend. I’ll be back. I promise.”
