“Tree!” yelled Pinkie and kicked Rarity.
“Ouch! Pinkie Pie! Would you stop yelling tree and then preceding to kick me?”
“Well there aren’t any red carts to yell out instead.”
“What made you even think I wanted to play such a rough stupid game in the first place?”
“Easy girls, we’re almost back to Ponyville.” said Twilight.
“Yeah, Pinkie Pie, so stop picking on Rarity,” said Spike.
“I wasn’t picking on Rarity; I was just trying to pass time.”
“I said take it easy guys. We need to stay focused. Remember we’re dealing with Discord once more. We had trouble being up against him to first time, but if he awakens with some new lackeys, there may not be any hope of beating him.”
“I wasn’t picking on Rarity.” mopped Pinkie pie with her front legs folded and looked away.
“Anyways, I think we should devise a plan with the Intel-.”
“Yo, Twilight, why do I see smoke coming from Ponyville?” asked Rainbow dash.
“What do you mean- gasp.”
They looked over the carriage to see smoke poured out from Ponyville and sparks that were possible explosions that ignited across.
“Oh no, I think it’s the Elements of chaos.” said Fluttershy.
“You think,” said Rainbow dash and then jumped out of the cart. “Wait until I get my hooves on those-.”
“Rainbow dash! Wait!”
“What, don’t tell me you want me to wait up!”
“No, we need to secure Discord, otherwise its game over. You and Fluttershy should do it because you’re flyers, meaning you’d be faster to getting there. The rest of us will try to go down there and handle them ourselves until you two have made sure the objective is safe.”
“You heard her, Rainbow Dash. I’m sure we can stop them from doing anymore damage until you get back.” said Rarity.
“Okay, fine, come on, Fluttershy, let’s just get going.”
“Alright you four, it looks like we’re in for a bit of trouble, so let’s get down there and make sure nobody gets hurt.”
“Right!”
*
“Uh, yo, where’d Rotten Tim go again?” asked Glumon. He ran on top of the barrel and his necklace began steaming with darkish purple smoke. An aura was then built around him and was able to smash through a brick house and come out the other end.
“Wanted to have fun by himself,” replied Frownie and unleashed a beam of energy from her necklace that lanced through a house and caused it to crumble. “Sometimes I think that guy is more of a downer as I am.”
The town had been shattered and smashed around them, with other ponies hiding behind rubble and smoke and fire building.
“You two! Stop this at once!” yelled a pony with a grey mane and glasses.
“Oh, is this the mayor coming to try and make peace talks with us again?” asked Frownie with a wide grin.
“Sure looks that way.” said Glumon moved in front of her, the mayor retracted from his smelly odour.
“Look, neither of you have your mindless ringleader around, so you can let down your guard and we can talk about this reasonably.”
“We’re not interested in what you have to say,” replied Glumon.
“Yeah, even if we were, we don’t really have choice about what we’re doing.”
“Cough- I’m sure if we discuss this and you two explain why you don’t have a choice, we may be able to change that, because I’m sure it doesn’t involve hurting other ponies.”
“I’m really not in the mood for discussion and besides; I enjoy hurting ponies who think it’s such a big deal to look their best when there’s absolutely no need.”
“Just like how I enjoy hurting ponies who make that stupid noise that’s called laughter.”
Glumon winded back on his barrel. “So yeah, best run, otherwise I’m going to roll right over of you.”
“No, as the Mayor, I won’t let either of you inflict anymore damage!”
“Have it you way.”
Just as Glumon then charged forward, a bolt of purple light struck through his barrel, shattered it and caused him to drop on to the pavement. “What the?”
“You stand away from the Mayor, ruffian!” shouted a sophisticated voice.
“Finally you’re here.” said the Mayor.
Stood on one end of the streets were all four ponies, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Twilight.
“That’s right Mayor, but please stand aside so that we may handle this now?” requested Twilight.
“With pleasure. Show them what for girls.”
“Wait, one... two... three... four! Hey aren’t there like meant to be six of them?” asked Glomun.
“Hold on, your right! Hey where’s the other four of you!”
“Well we sent Rainbow dash and-!”
Covered her mouth shut. “Pinkie pie, shush!” shouted Applejack
“Never mind, it’s not important anyhow, less work for us. But tell me, is one of you Twilight?”
“What of it?”
“Our ringleader, or more the bossy boots of the group, is right now at your house and wanted you to meet him there.”
“My house? Oh no, you’re not talking about Dawnshade? What’s he doing there?”
“Beats me, we’re just passing the message.”
“Um, why are we passing it for him anyways?” asked Glomun.
“Good point.”
“Don’t worry, Twilight, you can see what Dawnshade’s doing in your house, we can handle this,” said Applejack.
“She’s right,” said Spike. “I’ll come as well Twilight to back you up.”
“Good idea, that way you can be two-on-one, just like we’re going to be three-on-two with these pair.”
“Alright, but remember to find out where the other Elements of Chaos are,” said Twilight and galloped off with Spike on her back.
“Now that’s a good point. You two don’t mind telling where the rest of you hombres are?”
“Um, well Rotten Tim went off to this farm, I think and- oof!” said Glomun before he got elbowed.
“None of your business and way to go Glomun!”
“Farm! You’re not talking about Sweet apple acres!”
“Oh my, your family will be in danger if Rotten Tim is anything like that picture of his. You go on and help save them, Applejack.”
“You sure?”
“Don’t worry, me and Pinkie Pie are more than a match for these two goons, you just go on ahead and protect your family, they’re right now more important.”
“Yeah, we’ll be okie dokie and all done here.”
“Okay, thanks you guys and show them what for.”
“Now that there was stupid,” said Frownie, a dark aura now about to build up around her and Glumon as their necklaces glowed. “It’s just you two against us.”
“You may want to reanalysis those words.” Both Rarity and Pinkie pie then started to build up with bright light as their necklaces glowed.
*
“Would you slow down a bit, Foulhoof?” asked Trample Jerk.
The two carried on their backs the frozen figure of Discord out from the damaged town hall.
“I can’t help it if I’m that much faster than you, little girl.”
“Only because you’re not being careful like I am. Do you want us to accidently smash Discord to pieces, if we do; we’ll most likely end up like him soon afterwards?”
“Excuses-excuses, we’re outside anyhow, so let’s get to flying.”
Glided into the air, it only took Foulhoof a moment to realise that right now, he was the only one carrying Discord and plummeted straight back down, into the ground.
Laughed at him, Trample Jerk then said. “Serves you right, but that really was funny.”
“Grrrr, just help me.”
“Nope, you look good underneath Discord like that.”
“Gee, thanks for being considerate for a change.”
“I was being sarcastic!”
“So was I! Now stop wasting time and get this thing off me so that we can get moving!”
“Fine.”
The two had gotten the thing onto their backs.
“Hold it right there!” shouted Rainbow Dash as she homed down on them, followed by Fluttershy.
“Well, if it ain’t my old pal- Rainbow Dash.”
“And the little cry baby Fluttershy.”
Hovered above them, Fluttershy said. “You better take both those things back and put down Discord or I’ll beat the crude out of the two of you.”
“You know what; I’ll consider those two options, once you’ve caught us!”
The two then propelled off the ground and dashed into the air.
“You’re on!” shouted Rainbow Dash after them with Fluttershy still behind. “Careful, Fluttershy, Foulhoof does whatever he can to win, anything possible, so keep your eyes peeled.”
“Got it!”
*
“Fancy place we got here.” said Rotten Tim, now found himself at farm. “Reminds me of the worthless trash of a place I grew up in.”
He bucked one of the fences and broke it, which allowed sheep to stream out in a panic. He then knocked over a barrel of apples. He then bucked and broke the well.
“Hey! Stop what you’re doing, right there!” shouted this old dry voice.
Rotten Tim then looked to see three ponies before him.
“You tell him, Granny Smith!”
“Apple Bloom! I told you to stay inside, while me and Big Macintosh handle this!”
“Yup.” said the big red pony.
“Oh, what do I have here, a little whinny girl, an old sack and some big doofus.”
“Better take those words back, sonny, I don’t even see why you’re in here wrecking our farm.”
“Did you say ‘our’ farm? You’d think with the crude bucket it is that someone would’ve taken the initiative to go alone.”
“That’s enough; you get the heck out of here!”
“I ain’t getting out of here until I’ve done the world a favour and wiped this mess off the landscape. I doubt any of you are going to make me anyways.”
“That’s it! I’m going-“
“Let me handle it, Granny Smith, yup.”
He then charged forward.
“Get him, Big Macintosh!” yelled Apple Bloom.
“I told you to get back inside!”
Rotten Tim charged back at Big Macintosh. When the two collided it was Rotten Tim that was thrown back across the field and crashed into solid fences.
“Yeah, Big Mac, show him whose boss!”
“Now you get out of here, before I really rough you up.”
Got back to his hooves, Rotten Tim shook his head and said. “You know, I don’t see why someone as strong as you sticks with a comedic pair like them, but as if it really matters.”
His necklace then glowed and black mist built around him. A beam then fired out from his necklace and slammed against Big Macintosh and threw him back into his two family members and was all flatten against the barn.
“Hey! You big jerk! That was my family you just messed with!”
“Huh!”
Applejack had then rammed into Rotten Tims side and knocked him through the air and crashed back down into the dirty.
“Oof, was that a girl I just got knocked down by, I must be losing my touch or something.”
“I’d cut out with the gender issues, unless you want more trouble on your plate than you already have.”
“What the heck is up with you?” said Rotten Tim as he growled and got back up.
“The big deal is that you’ve gone and messed with the wrong family and I don’t easily forgive anyone that’s messed with my family.”
“You mean to tell me that the reason I’m about to kill you, is just because I hurt your family? Does no one realise that there’d be more people alive today than there already are if they’d learn to look after themselves. Why do I care anyways?”
“Cause I’m about to show you why you shouldn’t have messed with the Apple family.”
*
“Hallo,” said Twilight as entered. “My house!”
“Wow, someone really done a number on the place.” said Spike.
Sheets were scattered all over, ink was splashed across the room and windows were broken.
“Hey, Twilight, great to see you again.” Dawnshade walked down the staircase with a smirk.
“I’m really not looking forward to what you’ve done to my library.”
“What? All I’ve done is upgrade the place a little. Like, come on you’ve got to love it. This entire place no longer shows the oppression it had inflicted upon it, how we had been forced to act as one mind. Now it shows the infinite possibilities of freedom and isn’t locked to a single mind. Something you should try, Twilight.”
“I already do, Dawnshade. I am free, I’m not trapped into conformity. What you want is to let go of every ounce of organisation and rules, which will lead to nothing, but well, sheer chaos!”
“Don’t you get it though? So long as we listen to anything someone or anything tells us, we are still trapped from who we really are!”
“There’s a reason why we have rules, Dawnshade, and-.”
“Lord, why are we even arguing! I missed you, Twilight!”
“Oh brother, not again.”
“Come on! Can’t you feel a connection between us, if you’d just let go of the shackles of socialisation, you will be free to open your heart and know that we were meant to be together!”
“Would you get over it, Dawnshade? Twilight is so not into you and never will be.”
“The rest of the gang told you to come alone, right?”
“Look, Dawnshade, I’m Princess Celestia’s most faithful student, I’d never turn my back on her and even if I did, it wouldn’t stop me vomiting all over you.”
Dawnshade had given an even sharper leer when he saw Spike snicker. Black smoke began to dance around him and his crown glowed.
“Fine, if my words of affection can’t break free that magnificent heart from the oppression that binds you, then perhaps the searing flames will breakthrough and realise the feelings we have for one another.”
“Keep dreaming all you want, it’ll be good to inflict the hurting I’ve been wanting to do on you for a long time.” Twilight then began to shine and her crown glowed.
*
Fire blasts ignited across Ponyville from crossfire between the two sides. They had ran in-between cover and shot over them, from their necklaces.
“Pinkie Pie, I think we should engage in face-to-face. It might possibly inflict much less damage and avoid the risk of any ponies getting hurt rather than firing at one another. I also have a plan.”
“You’ve got it!”
She then appeared with her head against Rarity.
“I meant going into close range with the enemy!”
“Oh! That makes much more sense!”
On the other side of the battlefield, Glomun said. “Um, yo, Frownie, what are they, like, doing?”
Looked to see Rarity and Pinkie Pie charge at them, Frownie replied. “By the looks of it, I say they want it up close and personal.”
“Oh awesome! I was getting bored of fooling around like this, let’s get them!”
“Fine by me!”
Leapt out back at them, the two sides charged at one another. But at the last moment, Rarity called out, “Now, Pinkie pie!”
The two jumped aside at the last minute and caused Frownie and Glomun to crash into a pair of crates that had been carried by Rarity’s magic.
“That’ll teach you hooligans!”
“Ha! That was so funny!”
“No it wasn’t!” screamed Frownie already back up. She rammed into Pinkie pie and the two rocketed off.
“Pinkie Pie!”
“I’d start worrying about yourself,” said Glomun. “If there’s anything thing I hate more, it’s the girly clean types and you look like you hit the nail on that description.”
“So the rumours were true about you being a fashion hater.”
“Like yeah, you ponies are the reason that people won’t stop whining about look your best, make hygiene is everything and is my hair alright. Who the frick cares! You little moaners and just you! If it wasn’t for that, then like, everyone wouldn’t make such a big fuss out of trying to look nice, when they know they’re just going to have to go through all the effort again the next morning.”
“And so you’re trying to prove this by hurting other ponies and making a mess of everything.”
“Not really, it’s just part of the job description I have to do. But it will lead to it, for we will have freed Discord and I bet he’ll get the whole fashion thing is stupid and make it so that we won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
“You know, Glomun, fashion is what gives us our individuality and the fact that we put so much effort into trying to look our best shows the pride we have in ourselves. Plus making ourselves smell good makes it more pleasant to be around one another.”
“Peh, going with the individuality and pride defence combination and I was really hoping for something new from you fashion bunch and your nonsense. But ah well, at least I can finally kick one of your type’s asses.”
Glomun had then caught Rarity with his unicorn magic and threw her back across the air into a pile of mud. Glomun had then bursted into laughter.
“Yuck, you horrible, horrible pony!” shouted Rarity and then caught Glomun with her own unicorn magic. “Here’s a thought, maybe the reason why you’re so horrid is because no one has done you any favours, so allow me to be the first- by giving you a bath.”
“Oh no!”
She then lifted Glomun and threw him into a water barrel where she commenced to splash him in and out of it.
“Why you!” screamed Glomun, his necklace flared black, that caused the barrel to shatter and to be dropped back down. He then had levitated the pile of mud near him and formed into a ball and struck it across at Rarity.
“Grr! Looks like not only have we’ve been able to do nothing about that attitude, but your hygiene either! Maybe some soap would help!”
A barrage of soap then struck out from behind her and hit directly against Glomun and forced him to retreat behind cover.
While this had been going on, Frownie had earlier rammed Pinkie Pie into her Bakery shop or otherwise home. The two had then gone into what looked like a food fight and threw all kinds of pastries at one another from across the room.
Pinkie had eventually been hit directly against the face with icing and sprinkles covered all over her. She was then able to look at her reflection on the display case.
“Ha-ha, I look so funny!”
“Now I remember you! You’re that stupid pony that wouldn’t leave me alone and tried to make me smile!”
“Yeah, it’s so nice you do!”
“No it’s not! I completely loathe you! I use to be able to shelter myself from all this meaningless laughter and pointless fun! But when you sent out an invitation to one of your dumb parties, my Mom and Dad forced me to go to them and my life was worse than it already was!”
“Oh boy- you should stop having such a negative outlook to everything. We were all just trying to help and show the meaning of laughter.”
“I never wanted your help! I never wanted to laugh! I never wanted anything! I just wanted to let time go by until there was a day I’d never have to put up with anymore stupid laughter.”
“You see, negative outlook. You should stop looking at laughter as such a stupid thing.”
“Never and I’m going to get back at you once and for all!”
Frownie then ran out at Pinkie pie. But the pink pony had threw a cake into her face that sent her out of control and bashed into a shelf for even more pastries to fall on her.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Now that was funny!”
“No! It! Wasn’t!” screamed Frownie as the pastries were exploded off her and continued her frontal assault on Pinkie Pie. She had broken through the counter, but Pinkie Pie had ducked and rolled out of the way again and Frownie was sent careening into another shelf.
“This is so much fun!”
“Wait until I get my hooves on you!”
*
Still only on the Trample Jerk and Foulhoof’s tail, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy weren’t able to make any progress.
“Neh-neh! You’re not going to catch us at this rate!” shouted Foulhoof.
“Yeah, you slowpokes!”
“Grr, I’m sorry, Fluttershy, but I’m going to have to speed ahead, and you’re just going to have up when I get my hooves on them.”
“I don’t think its-!”
“The gloves are off, Foulhoof!”
Rainbow began to amazingly motor up behind the two.
“Oh no, I’m so scared. Quick, Trample Jerk, do the tactic I told you to do.”
“Fine.”
The two’s necklaces began to glow and a dark thick fog blew behind them directly into Rainbow Dash’s face.
“Cough-Foulhoof!”
Her necklace lit up and beams of light scattered away the thick fog. But she looked up ahead to see the targets were gone.
“Darn it! Foulhoof! You and your cheap tricks!”
“Not cheap tricks really, just methods of winning the game!” shouted Foulhoof. When Rainbow Dash looked up, she saw the two descend at her. “Banzai!”
Rainbow Dash was struck and propelled back towards the earth, where Foulhoof and Trample Jerk heard the bang sound she made.
“Ha! Ha! Rainbow Dash always fell for that!”
“Stop right there you two!” The two turned to see Fluttershy approach them. “That’s if you don’t mind...”
“Look who’s all alone, Foulhoof.”
The two made an evil snicker noise that made Fluttershy start to shake.
*
Emerged out of her hole with her head spinning, Rainbow Dash seemed to be alright. Something then crashed down next to her. Climbed out of the hole it had made, Rainbow dash cried.
“Fluttershy!”
“Sorry, I was sort of outnumbered two-to-one; there was not much I could do.” Fluttershy said though she became a bit worried when she saw the anxious look on Rainbow Dash’s face and how quiet she was. “Is there something wrong?” Oblivious to her messed up hair and what looked like pen marks all over her face.
“Um, no, but you might want to clean yourself up when you get the chance?”
*
Hit off against one another in a collision, both Applejack and Rotten Tim were thrown back from one another and crashed haphazardly across the field.
“Why you little-” said Rotten Tim. He charged across the field at where Applejack was. But the other pony had managed to duck and roll out of the way and allow him to smash through the gate. Rotten Tim then came to a stop and said, “huh?” and realised he had a lasso around his legs.
“Now, Winona!”
A work dog barked in response and grabbed the end of the lasso rope and ran around Rotten Tim and made the lasso tight around him.
“You’re about to find out what it means to have family by your side, Rotten Tim!”
Applejack and all her family then made a single charge at Rotten Tim. Their combined power all together struck against him and fired him through the air in one mighty deliverance.
“Yeah, we showed him!”
“I told you to stay inside, Applebloom!” said Granny Smith.
*
Cover-to-cover, the two unicorns kept each other at ranged distance and fired bolts from their horns. Spike had stood on the couch and rooted Twilight, while he jeered Dawnshade at the same time.
“Come on, Twilight, can’t you feel the love coming on? How our styles of battle translate to one another into passion?”
“Dawnshade!” shouted Twilight and fired another bolt. “Get over it, it isn’t happening!”
“You tell him, Twilight. You start getting it, Dumbshade!”
“How about you get go you little pest!”
Dawnshade then fired a bolt at Spike, but the baby dragon was able to jump behind the couch in time.
“You leave, Spike, alone!”
“You know that worthless hide has been nothing more than tightened the chains that imprison you. How about this, after I barbecue him, I get you a new pet, one that demonstrates your rebirth and shows our loves?”
“To start off with! Spike is not a pet! And would you stop assuming there’s something between us.”
Dawnshade jumped out from behind the staircase, where Twilight was now able to see of them a book that was laid open.
“Hey! Is that my diary?”
“Oh yeah, I was getting bored waiting for you and really wanted to catch up to see how you had been getting on, so-.”
“You read my diary!”
“Yeah, it’s sweet that you’ve spent time away from that oppressor and-.”
“You read my diary!”
“Uh yeah, didn’t you hear me the first time?”
“You read my diary!” An influx of power than built up over Twilight, so power that it fired out from both her tiara and horn all at once.
“Oh no...”
Struck full force by it, Dawnshade crashed outside the house. He continued on going with the built up of energy continued to smash him through five blocks of buildings, before it calmed down and rolled across the dirt and tumbled into a pile of rubble.
Slowly gotten back up with his head spinning.
“Um, Dawnshade?”
He was then just about able to see, an Earth pony covered in icing and sprinkles.
“Frownie?”
“You’re so in for it now, Dawnshade!” screamed Twilight stormed out from the air and pounced on him. She had him now pinned against the ground and her horn aimed at his face. “You’re going to wish you never read through my diary!”
“You read through her diary?” asked Frownie.
“Huh!? You read through Twilights diary!?” said Pinkie pie, suddenly appeared next to Frownie.
“Now just hold on, Twilight, I can make this up to you.”
“You’re going to pay! You hear me!?”
“Hold it!”
Twilight was able to move her eyes to see Glomun had pinned Rarity against the shattered remains of a wall, with his hoof near hovered over the girl unicorn’s face.
“Like, do anything more to Dawnshade and I’ll so give this little missy here a new makeover!”
“Gasp, you wouldn’t!” said Rarity.
“I would and I know how you sparkly girls dislike me getting my hooves all over your faces.”
“Whoa! Now that’s just harsh!” said Pinkie pie.
“What’s it going to be, Twilight, let Dawnshade go or make little Ms sparkle queen have to wash herself for a few days? I can make it a few weeks just so you know.”
“Don’t- have to- Twilight- I can-.”
“Sigh, fine, but you let go of Rarity.”
“Fine by me, so long as you let go of Dawnshade first.”
Twilight slowly got off Dawnshade and the unicorn swooped back between his gang. Glomun then got off Rarity and allowed her to run back between Pinkie pie and Twilight.
“Yuck, that filth has gotten his germs all over me. But you shouldn’t have, Twilight, you should have given that Dawnshade what for.”
“Sorry, Rarity, but I know how filth pains you.”
“Don’t be silly- it just grosses me out- really bad.”
“Don’t forget that we’re still here.” said Dawnshade.
“Oh! Do you guys still want to play some more?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“No!” shouted Frownie and shook off all the mess off her.
“Actually we just don’t like to people speaking about us away from our faces.” said Dawnshade. “But where’s Rotten Tim!?”
“Um, well-.”
A loud whistle sound then pierced through the air and a large object, bombed on all three of them.
“Rotten Tim! What you doing flying through the air and dropping on us!?”
“None of your business!”
“Raagh! Never mind! Time we got out of here, Foulhoof and Trample Jerk are bound to have retrieved Discord!”
“Wait! If that’s true, you four aren’t going anywhere unless you tell us where they might’ve taken Discord then!”
“No thanks, it so happens that while I was reading through your diary, I found this teleportation spell you had uncovered. Intriguing as it was, I read how you did it.”
“Oh no!”
“Oh yes, boys- and girl, we’re out of here!”
His horn than glowed and then all at once there was a large boom. As the smoke cleared, all that remained was this large crate in the fours place.
“I’m no expert on it, but that didn’t look like my teleportation spell.” said Twilight.
“Either way, this could be bad; all four are gone, which means if they have Discord there’s no means of finding them.”
“Stop worrying, I’m sure Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were able to secure Discord,” said Pinkie Pie.
“Anyone of you, see a pony fly through the air come by?” asked Applejack.
“You just missed him,” replied Twilight.
“Shoot, I wasn’t done yet with that big bully!”
“Guys!”
“Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, did you secure Discord!?” shouted Twilight as she saw the two fly towards them.
Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy dropped down and had their heads turned away. “Sadly no, I’m afraid they were able to take off with him.” said Fluttershy.
“Oh no... this could spell the worse for all of Equestria.” said Twilight.
“No it darn well doesn’t!” shouted Applejack.
“But, they have Discord now.” said Rarity.
“So you’re telling me you all are just going to throw in the towel!? We’re the chosen Elements of Harmony and we don’t give up, no matter what! So long as we all stick together!”
“She’s right, there’s still hope,” replied Rarity. “But is it okay if we take a bath first? I’m covered in ick and Fluttershy has a facial and hair emergency.”
“What do you mean?”
