As any self-respecting pony will tell you, Princess Celestia is a kind, caring ruler who would do anything to keep peace and harmony in Equestria.
Right now, though, she was borderline livid.
She was ready to give Lenkar a pass due to his experiences and considering the fact he had used self-defense against the Queen, but right now the chances of such happening had dropped considerably.
Astronomers and astrologists everywhere would be in eternal confusion for centuries to come as to why twelve solar flares had occurred within an hour, and probably would have a few books written on such a mystery.
Celestia had regained her mental faculties enough to relax herself with some tea, when an earth-shattering explosion took place, not unlike a Sonic Rainboom.
CRASH!
Everypony still present in Twilight's library immediately filed out into the open streets, with all the attention directed towards a large fissure just above Canterlot. It looked as if Discord had taken a piece of reality, turned it to glass, and thrown a rock through it. The alternating black and white within the rift was hard to look at, but the rainbow flashing coloration of the splintering cracks around it was even more of an eyesore.
The two Princesses jumped into the air, and headed straight for the hole at top speed. Twilight was about to head after them, but her friends advised against it. Fluttershy decided to return to her cottage, and see if it was Discord who had caused it.
They all knew exactly who was responsible, but they were still hoping it wasn't him.

"We know thee art angry, Sister, but perhaps thou may be lenient with the poor creature? He hath been through so much."
Celestia sighed, flying neck-and-neck next to the Lunar Princess. She knew she was overreacting, but for good reason.
"Lenkar will never learn anything if it isn't ingrained into him."
She slowed to a stop, and gazed at the newly formed rift.
"I saw it, in his eyes. He may have felt sorry for what he did, but he didn't truly care about what was happening."
She huffed, shaking her head in pity. Luna could only look on in question. They both continued their flight, but Celestia seemed to have less energy behind her than before.
"I fear if he continues the way he is now, then there may be nothing stopping him from destroying everything around him."
Luna furrowed her brow, remaining silent. Celestia looked at her sister with a familiar recognition.
"Yet he will hardly even have to do a single thing. He will simply walk out of all these troubles without a scratch or care."
The both of them had finally reached the hole, stopping just a few feet before it. Luna cleared her throat, with a solemn tone in her voice.
"We are truly impressed thee could read Lenkar so readily, Sister. Yet I believe Lenkar has the best of intentions here. Thee were not present when We had found Lenkar in the throne room, weeping like a small foal."
They both simply hovered there, watching the otherworldly pattern the rift made flash, as it was almost beautiful to see.
"He has a sense of innocence to him, one that We cannot discern how ingrained it may be."
Celestia flew over to her sister, nuzzling her.
"I know, he tries his hardest to hide it..."
They both watched a cloud drift into the hole, right before it solidified into a blocky mess, and dropped like a stone.
"But the path to Tartarus is paved with good intentions."
Suddenly, in a flash of light, the entire hole was filled with styrofoam pellets. The two sisters simply floated there, unblinking, for several minutes. Celestia then yelled to the air.
"DISCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"
[|||]
HOOOOONK!
Oh, sorry. I've been sneezing up a storm over here, although I had to convince Discord not to make it literal. I've been blowing my beak on these tissues, and all I've gotten is a weird light blue liquid with binary inside it.
Sweet Arceus, my life is bizarre.
I'm probably forgetting something important right now, but I'll figure it out later.
Discord sneezed, a bronze elephant statue erupting from him, sending it flying across the room. MISSINGNO. dodged it, then stared at the wall for a bit before turning to Discord. Discord shrugged and gave him an innocent smile.
"Oops?"
MISSINGNO. shook itself, and returned to it's book.
Discord pulled out a telescope, and pointed it in the direction of the now-styrofoam-filled hole. He cringed, and crushed the telescope, then whipped it out as it became an umbrella.
"Sorry about that Missy, but I really must be going."
He snapped his fingers, and summoned a black pork-pie hat on, a scarf, and a red handbag. He waved to us, while grinning.
"Ta-ta!"
He vanished in a bright flash. While I regained my visual senses, I went back to reading the books, and Rainbow Dash hadn't paid any of that to mind as she was too busy reading an Indiana Jones book. She had called it a ripoff a Daring Do at first, but soon became drawn into the storyline all the same.
Where she was busy with adventure, I was busy with information. The irony being, the books 100Miles had authored had more info on Equeia than Equestria's own libraries!
I could probably be sitting here forever just reading about all of the wonderful discoveries made, but I needed to leave the library at some point.
Right now, though, I'll settle for this.
I'll recap what I've learned about Equeia, just for clarity's sake. Well, I don't need to, but I will anyway. It's just too interesting!
Anyway.
Equeia is one of the two planets in it's solar system, the other being a similarly set up planet named Argon. Not a lot is written about Argon, but that's not important. What is important, is how they're set up.
Equeia has two moons, each of which are tidally locked in their orbit. This is solved by Celestia and Luna, obviously.
If you noticed what I've just implied, congrats! If not, I'll continue.
The normal moon, which is what Luna controls, is your average everyday moon. Except the other moon, the one Celestia controls, is the biggest conglomeration of crystals in the galaxy Equeia resides in. These crystals have the same properties the crystals on Equeia have, they conduct magic.
I'm talking to myself, but who cares, it helps me get everything organized.
Anyway, you're probably wondering how the crystal moon manages to act like a sun. Simple, it copies the actual sun it gets it's energy from.
Argon is five times smaller than Equeia, which is two times smaller than the sun they orbit. So, in all simplicity, Argon and Equeia both have two moons that are tidally locked and they both orbit a sun like a normal planet.
Confusing, right?
It gets worse.
The sun they orbit is powered by an ancient energy that saturates Equeia and Argon, and that ancient energy is the direct ancestor of magic. It's a power solely reserved for gods and deities, but due to the distance of the sun from it's planets, the energy is considerably weakened.
Said ancient energy is simply called Divine Power.
Artemena Erratica is the galaxy that houses Equeia, and it has a high concentration of Divine Power, more so than many other galaxies.
Moving on.
Divine Power is the most purest form of energy there is, and I mean THE purest. Of course it can be corrupted, thus leading to what is known as Dark Power. Usually these two Powers require objects or artifacts to inhabit, and allow their use, otherwise they simply remain inert.
Equeia's sun, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.
It's a giant ball of Divine Power that was put in a planet-sized bomb a very long time ago, and detonated. The resulting fireball ricocheted across Artemena Erratica, and thus gave birth to multiple different stars. One of the most apparent remnant of this detonation is the galaxy aptly named Flamefire Chaos, which consists of thirteen stars in a whirling vortex of destruction.
Hilariously there's a planet called Solaris that somehow manages to survive in such a grueling location of space.
I'm getting off topic.
The Void Star, along with 100Miles, both originated from a planet called ROBLOXia.
This planet is, how do I put it?
I can't even begin to think of a word to describe the solar system ROBLOXia resides in besides 'chaotic'.
The entirety of the solar system consists of several planets with varying, connected, and intriguing histories.
For instance, there's a planet named Harvestia, whose inhabitants are in constant nuclear warfare. The entire place is a desolate apocalyptic wasteland.
Fun and games there, eh?
Not to mention there's records of an entire planet being created from a sealed eldritch abomination, and a cabbage god fleeing it's own planet due to it's people being wiped out.
Seriously, this entire galaxy is a great big mess. No wonder all this crap happens here!
...I'm still rambling, but I don't care. I'll get to my point eventually.
My point is, if Celestia could use her ties to the crystal moon to gain energy from their true sun, she could seal the hole I made.
Because I'm damn sure styrofoam isn't going to hold it, even if it was Discord who made it.
...oh.
See, what'd I say? Eventuality is my invitation, and I am an excellent guest.
Er, ahem.
I'd like to continue blabbing about how ROBLOXia has an atmosphere that's bigger on the inside so it can hold shiny silver skyboxes with places in them all floating inside it that are owned by the inhabitants, or how there's a planet named Grand on the other side of Artemena Erratica across from ROBLOXia that is the most technologically advanced society in the galaxy, or how there's a planet called Puppyland with sentient dogs in a similar form to Equeia's ponies who have their own dog-shaped space station.
Although I digress.
I've sat here long enough talking, now I need to get moving.
I shut the thirteenth and final book 100Miles had written, and gathered them all up in a stack. I called out to MISSINGNO.
"Hey, do you have a backpack I can use?"
MISSINGNO. nodded, grabbing a green and blue backpack which he tossed at me. It whacked me in the face, and I rubbed my beak.
"Ow! What the heck?"
MISSINGNO. levitated up to me.
"THAT WAS FOR BRINGING DISCORD HERE."
I continued nursing my aching beak, and picked up the backpack.
"Alright, okay, it won't happen again. Terribly sorry."
MISSINGNO. huffed, and shook itself. I started piling the books into the backpack.
"WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO WITH THOSE?"
I finished filling the backpack, and zipped it up. Slinging it over my shoulder, I winked at MISSINGNO.
"Experiments."
