There was no debate that Equestria was one of the most harmonious places to exist. The crime rate around here was fairly low, and was incredibly peaceful for the most part. Yes, it had its dangers, such as the infamous Everfree Forest, the violent race that were dragons, and the many tyrannous monsters that had attempted hostile takeovers of the peaceful land of Equestria. However, each time these world-ending threats had been stopped by Equestria’s main weapons of defense, The Elements of Harmony.

There was one creature however, that had come closer to defeating the Element Bearers than any other monster they had faced. The personal student of Princess Celestia herself, Twilight Sparkle, and her band of friends that wielded the Elements of Harmony had almost been defeated at the hands of this beast, as their friendship had been put to the greatest test yet; the monster had used his magic, and extreme powers of manipulation to turn the ponies against each other, altering their personalities into grey husks of what they had once been.

Unfortunately for the monster, their friendship had proven to be too powerful to fully destroy, and they used the Elements to trap him in a stone prison as he had once been, and restoring his ugly, chaotic wasteland back into the harmonious kingdom it was meant to be.

Never had the ponies thought that their actions would have such…horrible side effects.




Celestia’s bright, warm sun shined brightly onto the kingdom of her little ponies. It lit the lush, green landscape of Equestria in all its majesty, showing off the natural beauty that the land possessed. The green grass, bright blue sky, and the many fauna and flora that all lived in wonderous harmony. Most ponies had found this place to be the only true way to live…

But for one, it made her sick to her stomach.

“Ugggh. Gag me with a spoon” Screwball groaned as she stood atop the statue in Canterlot’s Gardens, looking over the ponies’ habitat. The statue the little purple filly stood on depicted a creature known as a draconequss. This one specifically was the reality-warping, Spirit of Disharmony known as Discord. His face and body had been turned completely white and frozen in a state of pure terror, still present from his previous defeat at the hooves of the Element Bearers.

And he was also Screwball’s dad.

Screwball’s unusually shaped eyes, purple and endlessly swirling, began to glow the same color. She disappeared in a flash of white light and reappeared on the ground in the same light. Being the very incarnation of Chaos itself, Screwball possessed quite a bit of the same power as her father.

And she was almost as big of a jerk.

“This entire thing is just depressing daddy. For a thousand years, I spent alone after Sunbutt and Lulu imprisoned you. And then after you finally escape, the jerks don’t even bother to show up. I only spent…what? Two days with you, only to lose you again to Little Miss Autism and her band of misfits. Now look at how unimaginably boring they made everything. Ugggggh.” Screwball groaned, leaning her head back with a hoof on her face. It was bad enough that those stupid mares and the Princesses kept imprisoning her daddy and leave her by herself, but they really had to go the extra mile and suck all the fun out of Equestria.

Screwball was going to converse with the statue further, but could hear another pony approaching her position. Screwball didn’t want to raise suspicion of her whereabouts just yet, so she created another flash of light with her magic and turned herself into a bush and placed herself at Discord’s side. 

The pony turned out to be a royal guard, checking the gardens for any signs of unwanted guests. He turned his head and observed the area around Discord’s statue, looking for anything suspicious. Seeing nothing but a bush, the guard nodded in approval and turned to leave. Before he did though, Screwball inwardly snickered as used her magic to grow a single vine and used it to block the guard’s path and caused him to trip, landing right on his face.

With an audible groan, the guard got back to his hooves and looked back in the direction of the bush, seeing that it’s vine caused his fall.

“Mmph. Stupid shrub.” He growled before going back about his business and getting out of Screwball’s sight.

Now with no sign of anypony else around, Screwball reverted back to her normal (or as normal as you can get for a Chaos pony) form, floating in the air around her dad’s statue with a slightly annoyed look on her face.

“Did you see that dad? Can’t take a joke even when he thinks it’s coming from a non-sentient being…uuuuuggh. Equestria sucks now.” Screwball pouted while crossing her forelegs.

Screwball hated this situation. Everything about it was as bad as can be. Equestria was a bore, and her dear Daddy Discord had been taken from her for a second time. Part of her was incredibly upset that she wasn’t able to play with her dad anymore, but the other remained her usual, sarcastic and mischievous self. She stayed that way most of the time. It’s what Discord would’ve wanted.

Screwball looked back to her dad’s statue and started to think. She wanted nothing more than to get him out of there so they could go back to having fun again, turning Equestria back into the land of anarchy and disorder it should be. 

From what Screwball knew of her and her daddy’s nature, the hold the Elements of Harmony had over Discord was weakened in the presence of pure Chaos and disharmony between ponies. What she didn’t know is what exactly happened to make Discord break out last time, or what ponies were involved, but she figured if she was to get her dad out, she’d have to stir up as much anarchy as she possibly could.

“Say daddy…I’m heading to Ponyville for a little while. Need me to get you anything? Candy? Maybe one of those tacky tourist T-Shirts? Ticket to freedom perhaps?” Screwball asked the statue with her usual grin.

Unfortunately, she received no answer from the God-turned-rock.

“…Right, all of the above. Of course!” Screwball giggled. She reached under her propeller hat, and pulled out a plush toy of Princess Celestia. Grinning like the madpony she was, Screwball tossed it into the air, pulled out a crossbow with an arrow flaming with purple fire from behind her back, and shot it right out of the sky. The now-flaming plushie fell back to the ground, with a singed mane, and the alabaster coat now a soot-black. 

The sight made Screwball giggle.

“Enjoy sitting on your fat flank and eating out Equestria’s entire supply of cake and leaving others to do all the grunt-work while you can Sunbutt. Cause once the Element bearers have been taken care of, YOU’LL be the one sitting in the gardens serving as the pigeons’ public bathroom. See how you like it.” Screwball laughed. She then summoned one of her favorite things in the whole world; a cotton candy cloud in another light flash. She hopped on top of it and stood on her hind legs, preparing to ride it like a surfer would a surfboard.

“Don’t worry daddy. You won’t need to stay like that much longer. I’ll spread enough Chaos that it’ll have you out of there in no time! Once that’s done, you and me can get back to the REAL fun…and maybe get you to a chiropractor, because that position you’re in can NOT be good for your back.” Screwball said, gesturing to the current state of Discord’s body. Screwball’s cloud then took off in the direction of Ponyville, leaving a giant trail of pink smoke in its wake…






Now looming in the air above Ponyville from the view of her cloud, Screwball looked down at the small town. Many of the ponies were continuing their usual, mundane routines of which they had become so oblivious as to how boring it truly was.

To say the least, Screwball felt like she was going to be sick.

“Blech! How can anypony live like this?! It’s appalling just how boring and predictable this town is!...Well, won’t they be surprised when they see what I have ready.” Screwball giggled menacingly. She started to rub her chin as she dwelled on her plans for vengeance. Does she take the direct approach and turn everything insane right away? Probably not, considering that when her dad did that, it landed him back in rock-prison. No. First, she’d need to take care of the Element bearers so when Discord was free, nopony would get in the way. Perhaps deceive a few ponies in aiding her in her quest for vengeance? Trickery for her is always an option.

“Hmmm…what to do first? Soooooo many options…”
