The Day Of Red Sky

The tain to hell

Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight and Spike where all huddled together out of fright. Twilight's protective barrier had stopped the fire from reaching the library so far. Other ponies where hiding about the library and inside the protective barrier trying to escape this living hell brought upon by the new Draconequus.

He was a truly terrifying creature. His wings were even more mismatched than Discord's. One being a simple Pegasus wing, the other being a much larger wing of a Dragon. His right arm was a Tiger's, his left one of a Bird. His body was brown and slim like Discord’s. His left leg was a Changeling leg and his right was a Dragon's. But his eyes are what brought a lot of fear. His Right was a Changeling drone's his left of a Dragon. And he only had one horn, a Changeling horn, meaning that he could perform more trickery than Discord could. And his tail split apart into two green snake tails.

And all he did was remain floating in the air, arms crossed and smiling, watching the chaos his burning sky caused. As he saw a pony's coat catch on fire he began to watch them intently, ignoring the library. He began laughing as the pony ran about screaming their head off, rolling about on the grass, and then jump into the lake of soda pop he created. He thought to himself, enjoying this mix between Discord's pranking light hearted chaos, and his own burning hell. He decided to make more things a cross between the two, and started giving life to inanimate objects, such as tables.

Back in the Library, Spike burped out green fire and a letter appeared. "Twi! A letter from princess Celestia!" Twilight levitated it in her magic and read it out to her friends.

"Twilight Sparkle,

As you must have noticed by now, some new evil has arrived in Equestria. I should know who it is, but for some reason I can't. It is as if something is stopping me from connecting the dots. I am sure you are dealing with the same problem. But I need you to get to Canterlot. Rainbow Dash is already here with the Elements and we await you. Get here soon as possible, and don't use your magic to teleport here. Whatever this evil is seems to be able to stop teleportation. The fate of Equestria is once more in your hands. Get here quickly.

Princess Celestia."

All of the friends sat around mouths agape. They couldn't believe it. An evil openly threatening their home, and Celestia had no Idea who it was. "Come on girls. We have to get to the train station. Hopefully it will still be running."

They ran out of the library, minus Spike who volunteered to look after anypony who came to the library to hide. Luckily for them, the creatures’ attention was still drawn to ponies running about, jumping into soda pop ponds and tables having conversations with one another. His laugh continued to echo the sky above Ponyville.

The group managed to get to the train station without being burned alive, although they were singed in several places. They sat under the metal roof of the train station, thankful that the fire didn't seem hot enough yet to burn through metal. Surprisingly a train pulled into the station. A door opened and a conductor pony yelled out to them. "Quickly! Get In! We can't stop for long." Already the train began to move slowly. The five girls ran to the train and clambered inside. They walked into one of the less crowded carriages and found ponies sitting at the tables distraught and upset.

Unbeknown to them, the Draconequus had noticed the train, and their boarding of it. He smiled inwardly, and decided it was time to have some fun with them. "Let the games begin mes amis. But first, to Canterlot, to set up the board." With a loud chaotic laugh he vanished from the sky, though the fire continued to fall.

=============================

The girls sat around the train. Fluttershy was hiding under a table shaking, he wings wrapped around a couple of fillies and cols who were hiding with her. Pinkie sat at a table looking out, seeing the landscape being twisted. Her hair had straightened out as she mopped. "This Chaos is no fun. Discord brought chocolate rain not fire rain. This is just hurting ponies." She thought sadly.

Rarity was making tea and comforting the other passengers of their carriage. Twilight sat in the middle of the carriage thinking. She was upset. She should have figured this out she thought. "There are clues everywhere. I've seen them, but why can't I put them together." She frowned as a thought passed her mind. Applejack was sleeping nearby.

Suddenly Twilight jumped up shouting "OF COURSE!" Fluttershy jumped with surprise hitting her head on the table with a meep. Rarity looked up from the passenger she was currently comforting. Pinkie looked over at her curious, her hair regaining some of its crazy curls. Applejack woke up with a start.

"That’s why we can't figure out who that crazy Draconequus is. He doesn't have a name and he doesn't want us to figure out who he might have been before. He's using chaos to block our minds."

Au contraire mon unicorn, I have a name. The second half of your theory is correct though." A low voice echoed through the train. With a flash the Draconequus appeared in the train crouched down so its head wouldn't hit the roof. He chuckled lowly at everyponies fright.

"Wh...what do you want!?"

"Me, I want to cause chaos mon ami. And I am doing a splendid job. But I also have a alternate motive. But I'm not going to tell you. Not yet. But I'll be seeing you in Canterlot. Until then...." He vanished and appeared outside the train, and ripped of the side of the carriage on both sides, leaving only the supports so the roof wouldn't collapse. Then he clicked his fingers, and normal rain began to fall, except the rain fell from the ground going up at an angle, so it would go into the train.

The Draconequus laughed as the ponies continued the journey towards Canterlot, exposed to the elements. He then clicked his fingers disappearing certain he had made the train to Canterlot seem like a train to hell.

All the passengers screamed in fear. They all came together and huddled in the middle of the carriage. Slowly the train got closer to Canterlot. The conductors were trying to go faster but something was slowing them down. Unbeknown to them the un-named Draconequus had turned the final coach of the train into a massive weight, which slowed down its progress.

Eventually they pulled into the Canterlot station. Everypony ran out of the train. The Bearers of Harmony tried to meet up together, but as soon as they reached other debris fell between them leaving five paths to the castle. “OK Girls! We’ll meet up at the castle, but beware of this creature’s trickery. He might try to corrupt us like Discord!” Twilight shouted out before running down her path. The others responded with a Got It before running down their own paths.

Floating a little bit above the Draconequus sat upon a cloud watching them with a satisfied smirk on his face. “Oh how right, yet so wrong you are Twily. Indeed, beware my trickery, but you won’t be corrupted. But you will be hurt. Maybe not physically, but defiantly emotionally. Vengeance for the pain you all caused me.”

The Draconequus slid off the cloud and landed at the beginning of Rarity's path. "Let the games.....Begin." Once more he began laughing, filling the city with it.

A/N And now shit's about to go down. Sneak peak? Basically burning ponies, corrupted plants and nightmares everywhere. Let the games begin. *Chaotic maniacal laugh*
