//------------------------------// // New Plans // Story: Screwball: Chaos Strikes Back // by Discorded SheepcityUSA //------------------------------// “So ummm…where do ya live Screwball?” Applebloom asked the Crusader’s strange new friend as they trotted through the streets of Ponyville to Sweet Apple Acres, where Screwball could only assume was where they normally operated. “Hmmm…I suppose you could say that I live everywhere and nowhere.” Screwball giggled as she trotted in front of the Crusaders…walking backwards. “Wait, you’re homeless?!” Sweetie Belles squeaked in shock. “You say that like it’s a bad thing.” Screwball said with a tilted head. “It IS a bad thing Screwball! I’ve been homeless before, and it really isn’t fun.” Scootaloo said. Screwball certainly hadn’t expected that. How would this filly know anything about that? “Wait, YOU? You’ve lived on the streets? Do tell.” Scootaloo’s face, as well as the rest of the Crusader’s, all of a sudden looked a little uncomfortable. They all had been aware of Scootaloo’s life situation before she moved in with Rainbow Dash, and none of them wanted to bring that back up in front of her again. “Uhhh…that’s kinda personal Screwball. I don’t think I feel very comfortable telling my life story to somepony I barely know.” Scootaloo said with an uneasy look on her face. Screwball scrunched up her face into some sort of face that none of the Crusaders could label as legitimately angry, or just some sort of grumpy pout. “Fine. Don’t tell me.” Screwball grumbled, crossing her arms. Don't hurt them screwy, they did cause enough chaos by your fathers statue to cause the spell to crack, also can't you just throw the elements into a volcano or something? All of the Crusader’s ears perked up at the sound of the textbox appearing behind them and it opted them to turn around. Luckily, Screwball picked up on the sound, grabbed onto the bubbled and held it behind her back, wearing a sheepish smile. “Ummm…Did ya hear somethin’ Screwy?” Applebloom asked curiously. “I honestly have no clue what you’re talking about.” Screwball responded, rolling her eyes, hopefully to throw off the Crusader’s suspiciousness. All three of the Cruasders looked at each other with raised eyebrows and slight frowns. “Ummm…Alright.” Scootaloo said. She jerked her head back towards the direction they were trotting to their clubhouse. The other Crusaders nodded and followed her there as she trotted forward. Screwball stayed behind for a moment though, and let out a sigh of relief. “Phew…Nice going guys. You almost blew my cover. You’re acting like you WANT me to get caught.” Screwball scolded with her hooves on her hips and facing the readers. After letting out another annoyed groan, Screwball took the question out from behind her back and gave it another look. “Pfffft, trust me. I’m not gonna hurt my hired help. And also…” After looking at the question again, she let out another annoyed groan. “I WISH it were that easy. The Elements are pretty much indestructible as long as the bearer’s spirits are intact. Nightmare Moon already tried just smashing the dumb things remember?” Screwball said, putting a hoof to her forehead in annoyance. She took it off after a moment when she seemed to come to a realization. “…Waaaaait…how do I know that? I wasn’t in that episode…as a matter of fact, I was only in one for a few seconds…wow that’s sad, even by background pony standards.” Screwball said to herself. Congratulations for finding the Crusaders, if you win their friendship you could have a "free pass to get out of jail/stone" after all, they are the sisters of a couple of Element bearers and they could not like if "their friend" is transformed in a statue. Screwball smirked a little and evily rubbed her hooves together. “Oh, the benefits of having devoted, chaotic, and overly gullible friends~” She snickered. Hey, screwy, why don't you try to have them fight in front of discord's statue again, that worked the first time... “It’s a good plan indeed…Buuuut, that plan is not ready to be put into motion juuuuust yet. Elements are still “wholesome” and all that harmonious junk.” Screwball: Now that you have the CMC as your allies, you should totally use them against their idols! How, you ask? By telling the truth, of course! Especially to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo! Why, you are probably wondering by this point, is that a good idea? Because Apple Bloom has lost her parents, and with the many fanfictions out there that have Scootaloo being an orphan, it's a pretty safe bet that she is one! So, you'll gain their sympathy, as well as their trust, a lot faster than if you continued to lie to them! “…Woooow. That is some very underhanded, and very evil thinking…I love you guys so much.” Screwball said with a big smile, now hugging the textbox to the point where the bubble popped and appeared to deflate in Screwball’s hooves. “…Awwww.” Screwball sighed. “The plans are good and all guys, but I really would appreciate a hug back sometimes…but you guys are incapable of doing that…Nnngh.” Screwball said, her face starting to look a little sad and she started to whimper a little. To ScrewBall: Ok, now that you have tricked them into joining their little shit of a club by making them believe that you don't have a cutie mark when in fact you are Discord's Daughter, you have access to Ponyville, access to their families who are the bearers that you hate so much, and as a result, their houses, you can then spy on them, put some dark evil magical artifact to know their every move, and mind control rape them (I strongly suggest you do that to spike, Twilight's dragon slave pet that AppleBloom love so much, you know, the one that writes and sends letters to Sunbutt, it’s a good idea to control and manipulate the information that your enemies have), and then.......... the crusaders I reading this aren't they?, or well, my bad, just erase their minds and it will be good, no problem, and put some secret magical abilitis in them while you are at it, the chaos will be doubled. Screwball looked up at the question and came out of her slightly upset state, only to switch to a slightly confused “Wait. Dragon slave? What’re you guys talking ab-“ Screwball stopped midsentence when she saw something in the distance; the exact thing that the textboxes mentioned. It appeared to be was a very small purple, reptilian creature walking down the street, licking an ice-cream cone several times over and smiling big. “Ooooh boy. I can’t believe Pinkie managed to get me emerald-flavored ice cream!” he said to himself, continuing to lick his treat. To say the least, Screwball was on the verge of laughing her head off at the sight of this creature. It was so unbelievably short and ridiculous-looking. It didn’t even have wings. In Screwball’s eyes this thing could barely even be considered a dragon. “PFFFFT, THIS is the all-powerful Twilight Sparkle’s assistant? I seeeeriously think she needs to reevaluate her choices in minions.” Screwball giggled. “Anywho, if this guy is close to Twilight, it probably would be a good idea to get a little- Also... Is true that your eyes are hypnotic or is that false? Screwball had an ever-growing smirk on her face at the thought of her new plan, and her purple eyes started to swirl and glow in preparation. “-Chaotic~” Screwball giggled to herself.
