Spell Bound stood in the center of the hall, a smirk across his face. The ponies before him cowered in fear and disbelief. How could their friend become such a monster. Celestia recovered from her shock and walked in front of her bearers of harmony and faced her adoptive son.

"Why are you doing this son? Why?"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT CELESTIA! I'm not your son. If I was you wouldn't have used me, betrayed me. You knew all along whom my father was, but you lied to me throughout my youth saying you didn't. And why? Because you feared what would happen. You were afraid I would fall to chaos. Well guess what. This is what your lies have cost you. I have fallen to chaos and you know what? I'm enjoying every second of it. The end games have begun 'Mother', and you are all taking part."

"This isn't you Spelly. This must be the chaos magic. Please, fight it." Twilight said as she walked around Celestia to stand in front of Spell Bound. He looked down at her, and for a second Twilight felt hope that maybe he'd listen, but it was short lived. Green fog encompassed the two of them, and Spell lowered his face down to Twilight's.

"When you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it’s where my demons hide." Confused Twilight looked straight into Spell's, which had changed from being a Changeling's and a Dragon's into a black abyss. Twilight got lost in his eyes, and began to see her worst nightmares. She stood fixed to the ground until she fell to the floor shaking with fear.

The fog dissipated and the others could see the results of whatever Spell had done. His eyes had changed back and he held a triumphant smile. He sent her sliding across the floor with his changeling hoof. She slid to a stop in front of Celestia.

"I will not be so easily stopped."

"HEY! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE BEEN CORRUPTED! NOPONY HURTS TWI!" Rainbow dash shouted flying up in the air and dived towards Spell. He looked up at her, considered something for a moment and then smiled even more. As her hoof should have hit Spell, it went straight through him as if nothing was there and she crashed into the floor, badly injuring herself.

Spell made himself become part of reality again and walked over to Rainbow. He crouched down next to her and poked her. She groaned softly. "Well 'mother', two of your bearers of harmony have become incapacitated. What a shame."

Rarity was the next to try taking him on. She lowered her horn and charged at him. She only got as far as halfway across the room before be surrounded by fog. She looked around nervous. This same fog surrounded Twilight, and now she was a shivering mess. "Well well well Rarity. What are we to do. Do you think me a monster? A hideous crime against nature?" Spell's voice asked through the fog, followed by his chuckle.

"Maybe I can show you how much of a monster I can be!" Spell appeared before as a creature of nightmares. His legs had turned into the tail of a basilisk. His body was that of a Minotaur, One arm was that griffon, the other of a dragon. His head was that of a banshee, and his hair was snakes like a gorgon. Rarity cowered both repulsed by its hideousness and terrified. The monster smiled and gave out a shriek, making Rarity pass out from the pitch and volume.

Spell changed back before making to fog disappear again. He look over at the three remaining mares and Celestia. "Well, who wants to try next?"

Applejack walked forwards and stared at him with sorrow in her eyes. "Ah don't want to hurt  ya spelly....."

"Then don't dear Applejack." Spell clicked his fingers and AJ sunk to the floor. She was overcome with fatigue, one of the worst possible things for an earth pony farmer. "This is to easy. Where's the challenge?"

Fluttershy was the next to walk forwards, which surprised Spell. "Nopony hurts my friends. Even if it is another one of my friends. I'm sorry Spell." He looked at Fluttershy with a newfound respect. This little timid mare was standing up against him, with no sign of fear. 

"Come at me then, Flutters. Let's see if you fare any better." Spell smiled to himself. He already knew how he was going to deal with Fluttershy. During the whole conflict nopony had noticed the purple vines growing on the roof. Fluttershy Flew up into the air and charged at Spell. She steeled herself for impact when all of a sudden she stopped. She looked back and saw that purple vines had descended from the ceiling and wrapped them self’s around her back hooves and waist. More vines fell and wrapped themselves around her.

The vines pulled her up towards the ceiling. Growing from the vines heart, flowers blossomed. As Fluttershy was pulled up near to them they began to whisper in her ear, shattering her confidence. They took on the voices of her friends and called her horrible things for being a Filly-fooler. Fluttershy tried to block her ears, but the vines held her hooves in place. They held her up near the flowers until she was a sobbing wreck, and then lowered her to the floor, leaving her there as they withered and contracted back to the ceiling."

"Five mares fall, and only one stands. What great plan do you have Pinkie?"

Pinkie stared at Spell, then smiled softly and out of nowhere pulled out her party cannon. "You may be a big chaos meanine, but I defy reality!" She aimed the cannon at Spell's chest and fired. Before the condensed party equipment could hit him with enough force to send him flying backwards, Spell conjured up an illusion and Pinkie's family and teleported behind her. As Pinkie gasped and called out no as she hit what she thought was her family, Spell tapped her on the head knocking her out to live out a nightmare in her mind.

Celestia looked around at the mares lying about and then turned to Spell. She let out a burst of magic energy at him, but he just sent it back at her knocking her backwards till she hit a wall and slid to the floor. Spell smiled and began to walk towards her. She looked up at him in despair, and decided to try reasoning with him one last time.

“Stop this Spell Bound! The chaos has corrupted you! Please fight it!” Begged Princess Celestia from the ground, nearly beaten.

“Why would I do that? I am the son of Discord! I am the rightful ruler of this kingdom and all others! And why should I listen to you, ‘Mother’? You lied to me. Surrender or your precious elements die.” Spell Bound turned to the elements of harmony scattered across the floor, badly injured either physically or mentally. “And how could you betray me, my friends. Even my dear Apple Jack?”

He grabbed said AJ by the hair, bringing her up to his face, the brave mare only barely conscious. While his back was turned, Celestia slowly got back on her hooves. 

“Please....Spelly, stop this. Ah never betrayed ya’ll” AJ pleaded, hoping some part of the pony she loved was still in his Draconequus form. 

“You all betrayed me. All lied to me. All secrets and lies with you. I shall have my vengeance, I shall have Retribution, and so I shall be called”

Celestia felt rage from the pure hatred he had shown to her and her subjects. The power of the sun and magic flowing through her. “You may attack me, boy, defeat me and mock me, but you do not. DO. NOT. THREATEN MY FRIENDS!” her horn glowing with everything she had left, Celestia unleashed a beam of pure magic right at the shocked once-was-unicorn.

Light engulfed him and he could feel his grip on the marble floor failing. A portal opening behind him, sucking him toward a land unknown. “No! Impossible, you don’t have the elements! You shall not banish me! I will return! With an army at my side and the power to crush this puny kingdom! I will have my retribution!” At that moment he was whisked away, to a certain valley on the other side of the world.  

“I’m sorry Spell Bound. But I can’t let you threaten this kingdom, no matter the fact that I raised you.” Celestia slowly got to her hooves, calling for guards to help with the injured. 

Watching from behind a doorway, a shocked Princess of love watched, the only thing she could call a brother attacked her aunt and was sent far away. She couldn’t leave him like this. She would find him and bring him back from the corrupt power of chaos magic. She ran to her room, grabbing the materials she needed and set up the spell. With a powerful burst of magic, she called a portal to a spot close where her once best friend was.

She left a hasty note, putting it on her bed. A cloak draped over her, she faced the magic doorway and with a brave breath, stepped through.

“I’m coming to find you brother. Whether you like it or not, I’m going to save you, and cleanse you of this darkness that has corrupted you.”
