Mountain Of Trouble
Chapter 01: A Mountain of Problems
The scene begins to open up somewhere around the nighttime, as we see a familiar ballon landing near a spot just by Ponyville’s train station. It was Twilight & Fluttershy having return from Smoky Mountain after having settle a family feud between the McColts & the Hoofields. And now the two families are getting along, the animals are living happily together with them & the restoration of the once beautiful Smoky Mountains is on the way.
“Well Fluttershy, we finally made it back home.” Twilight sighs to say this that they are now back home at long last.
“Oh good, cause I think I’m….” Fluttershy was about to say this until the weight of having carries the heavy bags that Twilight packed on their trip to the Smoky Mountains. “Unable to move. Um, little help, please?” She meekly spoke off to say this in asking for a little help on being unable to move.
“Eheh, sorry about that.” Twilight chuckled sheepishly to use her magic to levitate the heavy bags off her friend's back. Perhaps the princess should've helped with the luggage.
Then popping into the picture from a smoky cloud, was none other than Discord as he suddenly scoops up the two ponies that came back.
“Twilight! Fluttershy! Oh, thank goodness your back!” Discord smiled off with joy before putting down these two ponies.
“Discord?” Twilight & Fluttershy replied back puzzled, why was Discord here; was he here to…welcome them back?
“I was worried that if you were caught in a war zone that’s been going on in those mountains, why I have to go into battle & RESCUE you from being caught between two enemies of different countries!” Discord issued off to say this while magically appearing in a general’s outfit, marching about in preparing himself to go into battle if his friends needed him.
“Discord, it was not a war between countries, it was a feud between two families.” Twilight pointed this out for Discord to not misunderstand something.
“Yes, but we did managed to settle the problem between the Hoofields & McColts.” Fluttershy smiled off to meekly say this about having already solve a friendship problem.
“Oh, well then I’m sorry for the wrong term of thinking.” Discord replied off lost & sheepish to snap out of his general outfit then. “But still, now that your back, let’s get you both to the castle, I already got the others waiting there with a surprise!” He smiled off in stating this factor of what is waiting for these two back home; a nice welcome surprise they will enjoy.
Before the two mares could say a word, Discord snapped his fingers that made them instantly vanish from sight. However, as Twilight & Fluttershy left the train station, something was seen on the train that conceal itself while looking to be wearing some outfit that makes the character blend in around the dark surroundings while having watch what occurred here.
“So those two were a part of the Mane Six, hugh, makes me wonder who the rest are. Guess I’ll stick close to the shadows to see more.” The mysterious guy spoke off in a rough & tough way, seeing the two mares that were a part of the Mane Six didn’t seem like much.
While the mysterious dark stranger was moving along with the darkness to blind in, there was something strange about the train’s smoke, it seem to be…moving in an unusual pattern while not fading out. What could this substance be is a question that will be answered later on from where things will take off.
---------------------
Meanwhile, back in Canterlot within its castle, we see on a balcony was Celestia looking out to the night sky as Luna was coming into the picture. The day of the sun being out was long over, now it’s time for the next princess to rise the moon into the night sky.
“Are you well rested, Luna?” Celestia asked this off if her sister was rested up enough for her duty in her magic use of the night.
“Yes Celestia, now I am ready to begin my round of decorating the stars tonight.” Luna nods off her head in being ready to perform her royal task since the day of Celestia’s sun has set, time for the princess of the moon to begin.
“I’m glad to hear that, I heard you got a new theme you wish to present." Celestia smiled off to say this in knowing that her sister has a special plan for this night.
“Of course, it maybe my most amazing display that the ponies will surely stay up to watch.” Luna smiled in feeling that she will show a decorative night sky filled with lovely star displays none have ever seen before.
“Well we can only hope.” Celestia nods off to say this in hoping they get a good display of a starry night sky.
“Wish me luck Tia!” Luna nods off to say in wanting to have some good luck here as she opens her wings.
Now Luna takes off as she was waving farewell to Celestia. But as she was nearing the outer border of Canterlot to go into the skies, the princess of the moon yelped from bumping into…an unseen force.
“Ugh….What!?” Luna yelps from what she bumped into but then tries to see that there was….nothing.
Luna was seen patting her hooves on what look like an invisible, but magical glow substance of a see through dome over her & all of Canterlot.
“Celestia, come quick!” Luna yelled down for her sister to come here as it seem to have her a bit worried of what was going on here.
“What’s the matter?” Celestia asked off as she arrived to fly near Luna in pondering what the problem was.
“I can’t get out!” Luna stated off to say this that for some reason, she is unable to leave outside Canterlot to go out its borders or into the sky.
“Hmmm….ugh!” Celestia was moving further ahead of Luna, only to yelp upon her bumping into…an invisible dome substance. “I can’t get out either!” She stated off in seeing this, it seems this was not a spell for a certain target, but a spell to keep on sealed in.
“What is this?” Luna asked off in what this spell was that was keeping them from going out.
“A force field spell, it’s like Shining Armor’s, but different.” Celestia stated off in knowing the similar spell technique, but highly different from when Shining Armor used it on his wedding day.
“Is this someone’s idea of a prank?” Luna asked off in feeling that someone was pulling a fast one on them by keeping them from leaving Canterlot’s borders.
“Whoever it is, we need to undo it.” Celestia stated off with a stern face that they need to undo this spell if they want to get to the bottom of this mystery.
The Royal Sisters combined their magic to blast at this strange force field that kept them from going anywhere. But strangely as the attack that was meant to break this spell, hardly left a crack in the job; this was a tough thing to break.
“Our magic did nothing to it! Not even a dent!” Luna exclaimed off in shock, even from two Alicorn princesses, they can’t break this force field over their kingdom.
“This appears to be a powerful casted spell.” Celestia stated off firmly that whoever cast this spell must be powerful if not even the Royal Sisters can undo this.
“Oh yes & guess who did it.” Spoke out another voice that sounded very much familiar.
“Discord?” Luna raised an eyebrow in hearing who was here, but something seem…different about this Discord’s tone of voice & attitude.
“Not quite, huuhuhuaahh….” Spoke the voice that sounded like Discord, but was not….confusing is it not.
Then appearing outside of the force field that imprisoned the Royal Sisters was a new enemy that was making his round acts of evil, Discord II.
“You…” Celestia firmly made a stern face, the same as Luna, they know who THIS enemy is while it’s safe to say while it may look like Discord, in truth, it ISN’T the one they know.
“Pleasure to see you princesses, I…am Discord, but not the Discord you know. I…am Discord II!” Discord II introduced himself to the two Royal Sisters of being the more evil of evil version of the reform Discord. "BUT you can call me Chaotix now.
"Chaotix?"
"I could explain but I'm planning on telling my good self's friends later on."
“We have heard of thou from Twilight’s report! You are said to be all of the evil from Discord!” Luna stated off in recalling about what they heard about this enemy, he looks & acts like what the old Discord use to be, but is much worse off because he doesn’t have an ounce of goodness & is all negative emotions that drive to cause chaos on a more havoc side in the name of painful enjoyment.
“Correct, I’m the me….of which the…’nice-guy’ Discord, let us be separated by birth.” Chaotix stated off to politely introduce himself with some background of his story. “Well okay, it was most likely that Lorcan separated my spirit from my body which in turn, made left something of me to be good, then a certain spell was used to break your prank of making mares fall in love with other mares by a dare you made.” The guy spoke off in stating about how he actually came to be when he, the evil self of Discord got separated from the rest & was sealed away until recent events occurred in the past.
“Ugh….does thou have ta bring up a discussion we rather not talk about!” Luna groans off to say this in wishing that such a discussion not be brought up; it was one loosely prank & even when Lorcan helped them avoid that event that took place in an alternate universe from a dream he had, it’s still annoying to be reminded of their rash action, etc.
“Well in any case, after that, my soul return to me, or rather one part of me. As the rest of my bad self remains hidden while three blank flank fillies took me in & then finally….one use of the Chaos Words helped not only free me, but gave me…a new body.” Chaotix finished off in telling his story of when the CMC found him, & by using the Chaos Words, freed him that gave him a new body & form to take.
“Though also forgot to mention thy time of a chipmunk voice when thou was an orb.” Luna remotely spoke off in rubbing salt in this villain’s wounds of such an embarrassing time.
“Yes, I do recall hearing about that.” Celestia nods off in making a sly smile in how funny it was; this scary opponent sounded like a cute little chipmunk.
“Well that’s over with! Now, I’m rolling with a new crew, one of the Three Lords.” Chaotix pointed this out that surprised the two, this evil version of Discord is now aiding one of the Three Lords of Equestria, which one? “And my first act of causing chaos of a scale my old goody-two-shoe self probably never tried is conjure up a powerful force field around your little Canterlot. Trapping you two in it!” He pointed this off that he has trapped the Royal Sisters & their kingdom in which they can’t escape from.
“Thou will not get away with thy plan of encasing us to be out of one’s way!” Luna protest against whatever the villain was up to will not get away with it.
“Oh, but that’s just the FIRST step, by tomorrow morning, the whole MOUNTAIN is gonna rise, before it becomes a great FALL, all over Ponyville.” Chaotix smiled off wickedly in stating the rest of his plan that will be a big deal to be witnessed upon.
“What? What are you scheming? Tell us now, this instant Chaotix!” Celestia sternly was asking in demanding to know what the evil Chaotix was plotting by such means.
“Oh, you’ll see…sleep well, you’re going to need it before the next sunrise over the horizon…” Chaotix smiled off fiendishly in stating this with a hidden agenda of what will happen next.
Then afterwards, Chaotix vanished in a red smoke cloud ion evil as the Royal Sisters stare off at each other with worry. As the scene goes dark, they fear that whatever Chaotix is planning will not be good & they can’t do anything to get out & stop it.
------------------------
At this time as the morning sun rises, we zoom in around Rainbow Castle. Where we see the Mane Six, Ben, Nyx, Spike & Phobos resting in sleeping bags around the council table while Discord was sleeping on a log that was being saw’d; don’t ask. As everyone was slowly waking up to the start of a new morning after they had a party to welcome back Twilight & Fluttershy in being the last members summoned to solve a friendship problem, now all of the Mane Six have done so.
“Boy; that was some welcome party Pinkie Pie threw.” Rainbow Dash stretched herself in how that party they had went off.
“In all honesty, she wanted it ta be special.” Applejack nods off to the fact of how their pal really outdid herself.
“Yes, now we all have gone off where the map said we were needed.” Rarity smiled off to say this with joy of how things turn out for them.
“Yep, after our first adventure together on the map to now three map quest later, we all did our parts to help.” Pinkie Pie smiled forth in stating this matter of what fun adventures they all shared with either all of them or with others.
“Pinkie Pie’s right. I think I understand our new castle in how it works.” Ben stated off to say this in understanding what their new castle does for them.
“How’s that daddy?” Nyx asked her father in being curious.
“Well, Twilight & the rest represent the Elements of Harmony, which reflects the friendship.” Ben stated off to tell Nyx about how Twilight & the Mane Five represent the six elements that are about harmony & friendship. “First it was about Rainbow Dash & Pinkie Pie, they helped Griffonstone bring about a new happier moments of laughter by helping & being loyal to a friend that went astray.” Ben pointed out what two of the first ponies did that helped a kingdom of griffons begin to help slowly change from having something to smile & laugh happily & be loyal to another.
“You mean Gilda, well, that is very true.” Fluttershy stated off in recalling that adventure they heard about to be amazed that someone from the Brotherhood might not be all that bad now.
“Then during the Sisterhood, Applejack & Rarity went to Manhattan to help another friend & a whole city, with generous hearts & good honesty of putting on a show that was free & inspiring.” Ben stated off the next group that went to help a pony out that help a city remember what an important play with feeling is to be honest with themselves from the generous act. “Lastly, Twilight & Fluttershy, kindness was the key, but a little extra magic was needed to help kindness out from two feuding families.” Ben stated how without the magic effort from Twilight, then Fluttershy would never had help reach the funding families see what they were doing all this time.
“Don’t I know it.” Twilight rolled her eyes in just remembering that adventure they came back from.
“Well the sun is up, the birds are singing & Canterlot is levitating off it’s spot, the gentle breeze is in the air….” Discord spoke off in looking outside to state how the day looks to be going until…
“Wait, what was that other thing?” Spike stops Discord to ask what the other thing was again.
“Something about a breeze?” Phobos raised an eyebrow in recalling the last thing they heard.
“No, Canterlot.” Spike shook his head in stating what was actually said that earn bigger concerns.
That was where the others approached the window to stare outside, only to gasp in shock or in wide eyes; as a rumbling noise was heard in that direction. And to a shocking display, Canterlot was seen levitating off its mountain spot, heck, the whole MOUNTAIN ITSELF was taken along as it was slowly hovering off the ground to take flight upwards. The citizens were scared, as those in Canterlot stayed in their homes while the Royal Guard with wings were trying to keep everyone out of danger. But even still, from Cloudsdale to Ponyville, everyone would see this & know…this won’t be good.
“You guys!” Then entering the scene was Goldie’s group; Pinkamena, Omega, Jack Zen, Autumn Gem, & Sombra. “Canterlot’s entire mountain has just been taken from its location!” Goldie issued off that the sight was a total disaster upon the very sight of it all.
“We saw it, what’s going on?” Ben asked off in not knowing how this happened.
“Discord, is this your doing?” Jack Zen looked to the likely guy to do something THIS chaotic on the first morning.
“Well it does have a certain ‘chaotic’ air to it & I do sense powerful magic in use, but….it’s not me.” Discord held his chin to think this a bit through before stating that this was chaos magic, it was not his own doing.
“Then who’s doing this?” Sombra asked off puzzled in who else was behind this act.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Spoke the voice of Discord as if responding to the question.
“Discord, if you know, then tell us.” Autumn Gem asked Discord if he knows the answer to tell the rest.
“That….was not me.” Discord nervously stated that the voice heard did not come from him…
“Close, but no cigar.” The voice of Discord was nearby while sounding more magical every time.
Then something appeared in a red evil mist to form around to suddenly take the form of what looked like Discord, but in truth…it was not the reform guy, but the NEW villain; Discord II AKA, unknown to the heroes right now, Chaotix!
“Hugh! You….Discord II!” Pinkamena gasped in shock before bringing out her sword for a fight here. “Are you the one behind this?” She asked off in demanding an answer from this eviler version of Discord.
“Guilty as charge….” Chaotix smiled off with a wicked tone while floating around leisurely as the others stared at the guy. “Tell me my, less evil half, how do you like this? It’s a nice chaotic work of where there is more fun to be had….by endangering a whole kingdom to play along.” He stated this off in wanting the old Discord’s opinion for how the former evil Spirit of Chaos likes what he’s done to Canterlot.
“Well one thing, while that looks fun, it’s WAY too extreme, & secondly, I would NEVER put innocent lives in danger for a mere chuckle!” Discord protest forth in making this argument claim about the problems of such things.
“Hugh, you really have lost your evil edge, all the more reason why I’m the more better of us.” Chaotix sighs with a bored expression in seeing the reform Discord has lost his old evil edge while the new one, is the better of the two.
“You are NOT!” Discord protest of having an argument with…well, himself; awkward.
“I seem to recall you turn tail when you saw me & what I did before. The only reason I don’t is because I like to see you & your little….’friends’ try to stop this.” Chaotix smiled off fiendishly to lean near the good Discord in pressing all the right buttons; when he came into existence, he made the good Discord run with everyone because he sense how dangerous the new enemy was. "Before anyone else even mention my name, from now on, call me 'Chaotix' with an "'x'" at the end."
"Chaotix?" Twilight ask puzzled by the last name.
"Yes. I figure the changed name would go a long way toward avoid confusion with my semi-good counterpart."
"Well, whatever. I don't care what you choose to call yourself. My pals and I will beat you just the same." Rainbow exclaims sternly.
Chaotix just scoffs this off as he ask, "Oh, really? Consider this; when the mountain's base reaches thirty miles in the air, it will start falling at an every-increasing rate of speed, which means, by the time the mountain hits Ponyville - well, I'm sure you get the idea. After all, you don't need to be a math major to know just how much damage a literally mountain-sized object can cause when it hits a much smaller object at literally thousands of miles per hour. Not even your precious princesses, who are trapped in that force field surrounding Canterlot, will survive. And not even Princess Twilight is powerful enough to stop that mountain before it hits the ground."
"But your semi-good counterpart IS." Pinkie said thoughtfully with a smile.
"Discord, could you please try to undo the force field around Canterlot AND stop the mountain from hitting Ponyville while my other friends and I deal with your even-more-evil-than-you-used-to-be counterpart?" Fluttershy ask her good friend with a smile.
"You can count on me, Fluttershy!" Discord exclaims as he changes into an army private and gives a salute.
“In less than the time to move something that size from 30 miles from there to here, that mountain will arrive & just as it’s directly in position, it will fall, destroying Canterlot on impact….right beneath Ponyville, killing two birds with one stone.” Chaotix explained his plan, he’s going to level Canterlot by having it crush Ponyville, taking out two places at once along with its citizens.
“You can’t do that, do you know how many ponies will perish!” Twilight protest in showing a stern expression, that kind of action could get many ponies hurt or worse.
“Well, maybe you should stop yammering & get to work…you have only a little time till your two kingdoms collide & it won’t be pretty.” Chaotix made a dark humor of a joke about what will happen to both kingdoms; afterwards, he vanishes in a puff of smoke while leaving everyone stump in what to do now.
“Okay, no pony panic.” Twilight spoke off in trying to keep herself & everyone else from panicking here.
“Are you kidding me? THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO PANIC!” Phobos exclaimed off in panicking that this was the perfect chance to panic now.
“Phobos, don’t lose yourself!” Nyx spoke to calm her pet pal down.
“Twilight, any ideas?” Spike asked if there was any ideas that could help them.
“I’m thinking, but unless we can somehow undo that spell, there isn’t much to do.” Twilight stated to say that unless they can undo Chaotix's strong chaos magic on Canterlot, they won’t be getting anywhere.
“Don’t forget, unless you can levitate a mountain & put it back in place, then the strain is a killer. And you thought stopping an army of ponies was difficult.” Discord remarks to Twilight, making Twilight frown at that.
“Not helping Discord.” Ben lectures the guy for having spoken off stuff that was not at all making Twilight feel any LESS pressure.
"Well like I told Fluttershy, I am going to find a way to fix this while you deal with myself...but we need a plan of doing so. Anyone got any ideas to make that happen?"
The gang was in a debating matter of how to go about this, how can they stop Chaotix’s plot. They will need help & a lot of time to prevent Canterlot from falling on Ponyville, what can they do?
“Oh brother, I come here to investigate some new heroes in Ponyville, & what do I find….this?” Spoke another voice that was in the room of someone making a joke remark of what he sees is going on here.
“Who said that? Is that you Chaotix?” Jack Zen asked off to look around to see who spoke, it might be the enemy.
“Please, as if I ever look like that in the morning! I may as well rip off my own face.” The other voice of the male made a remarking claim about such things of him being as ugly as Chaotix.
“Hey, while I maybe the more pretty face out of the two, just who is it that is sounding like some tough guy?” Discord protest that he & Chaotix have almost the same face, & demands to know who was behind such sass talking.
Then some stomps were heard & some rattling of…chains. This made Fluttershy yelp & Spike & Phobos shiver in thinking they got trouble entering their mitts. But as whoever was behind the shadows came to enter, they all saw who it was. It was a unicorn stallion wearing a strange gray/black leather outfit with armor hoof pads & chest armor while wearing some metallic mask with dark green color eye visor material in the eye-socket spots. The metallic mask seems apart of the suit, as it shows its own low mane off the backside & he has a long tail which seems like it’s made of a leather steel frame for what fits underneath it. He appears like a tall, bulky, muscular appearing, tough rugged type of pony that can square off in any brawl he gets in. The only thing about his Cutie Mark on his flank, was that its appearance was a gold chain, issuing what kind of talent this character is capable of doing. He also appeared to be dragging two chains off his front hooves to give off a really terrifying appearance of a guy you DON’T wanna meet in a dark alley.
“That, would be me…” The mysterious newcomer issued off to say this.
“And you are….” Sombra slowly was asking this off in not knowing who was here.
“Wait a second, I know that getup, that dark humor, the tough presence…” Goldie was stating off in having seen & mostly has a feeling he knows who this pony was.
“And he’s carrying chains! Kinda like my Chain Blades, only different.” Pinkamena pointed out in what else she noticed that the two had some similar of weaponry usage.
“Golden Heart, who is he?” Ben turn to the guy that knows who was here before them.
“Believe it or not Ben, this guy is known as….Nightwatcher, The Chain Vigilante! And also an Element User…” Goldie pointed off in knowing who this guy was, an Element Wielder with a tough guy approach.
“Hugh?” The Mane Five replied off stump, this guy was both an Element User & a Vigilante?
“You got that right Goldilocks.” The revealed character named Nightwatcher address Golden Heart with a nickname.
Hearing that caused Rainbow Dash, Phobos, Discord, even Pinkie Pie, Rarity & Spike to burst out in laughter in thinking that was a funny nickname for Golden Heart. Course Twilight & Ben clear their throats which made everyone behave themselves while Goldie sighs from having to deal with such things from a guy that, in a word…likes to pull other folks' chains.
“I’m a user to the Element Of Chains, a Weapon Class Element, & my special talent, hugh…taking care of the slime-balls that try to come between me, & enter a brawl.” Nightwatcher issued off i what his element can do, & what he can do that is more or less; beating up enemies that almost look to him funny.
“Well, you seem…like, you specialize in fighting tough opponents.” Autumn Gem slightly stated this off sheepishly, somehow this one seems like he’s liking to get in fights.
“Can’t get enough of them, I’m like a dark avenger, so now it looks like you’ll need a little muscle to wrap up this caper.” Nightwatcher shrug off to simply say this while knowing the group will need a little muscle help in this case.
“Your right….” Twilight stated off to say without batting an eye.
“Darling are you sure, this one seems, well…a bit rough around the edges?” Rarity asked if Twilight was okay about this.
“We’re up against Chaotix, he won’t be playing around, & unless we can stop that mountain, it’ll destroy our homes & those still on it.” Twilight stated that they need whatever help they can get at this rate.
“Well, Ah guess it is true, heck, probably wasn’t gonna be easy ta begin wit'.” Applejack stated off to hold her chin in thinking such things need whatever chances they got to get by.
“Perhaps you are not looking at a bigger picture & need to look things over without letting doubt cloud the mind.” Spoke a male’s voice of someone wishing to state this statement of the discussion with some reason.
“Wow, great advice…who said that?” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this before looking around; no one was taking the claim. “No one, not even you Mr. Nightwatcher?” Pinkie Pie asked off in being puzzled in seeing no one spoke, not even the new guy.
“Nope! But here’s a better question, you see smoke?” Nightwatcher pointed this off to say while noticing…smoke coming from the front door’s entrance.
“Smoke? Is there a fire?” Nyx yelps in thinking they have a fire emergency.
“I am not fire, but I am as you see…” As the other voice spoke out, the gang are surprised because the smoke was pouring in, but at the same time taking form. And what appeared to them was a strange pony they too have never seen. It was a Unicorn stallion with dark pale gray color fur, long flowing sliver mane & tail & with gray emerald color eyes. He appears physically fit & built to handle things with quick reflexes & agility. He wears a dark gray & silver plate uniform to make him look mysterious, almost like…a ninja…or an assassin; even with a black mouth visor. He almost looks like a ghostly figure from such pale looking fur but he seems perfectly fine, and for unknown reasons…smoke is leaking out of his body. What is seen on his flank appears to be something in the form of…a gray symbol for smoke, in stating what his represented talent is that is his Cutie Mark.
“Oh goody, another new face enters the fold. And you must be…” Discord rolled his eyes in seeing another surprise has enter their presence now.
“Smoke…” The new pony spoke off to say.
“Where?” Phobos asked off in thinking there was more smoke coming from somewhere.
“No, that is my name, I am Smoke, wielder to the Element of Smoke.” The strange new pony revealed that his name was actually Smoke & he wields an element matching his name.
“Oh my, how very original.” Discord rolled his eyes in having heard this, someone with both name & element that match perfect together; how ironic.
“There was an Element of Smoke?” Ben raised an eyebrow in being surprised, he never knew that smoke could be an element type of class to help out?
“I get Crash Fire’s element being fire, which makes smoke, but…what good can just turning yourself into smoke do?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in thinking that while they know another pony that can use fire, what can be so great about smoke.
“I am an assassin, there are feats that an assassin can do from such things. Suffering, sneaking up behind, being unable to impact a target.” Smoke explained off the feats of what one can do be turning into smoke.
“Wait….did you say assassin?” Twilight yelps in having heard this which FREAKS everyone out, this other ally was…an assassin?
“Do not be alarm princess, while it is true, I am train to be an assassin, but I am a wandering assassin.” Smoke spoke forth in trying to make himself not be seen as a killer sent to get them than a hero & ally. “I only came to obverse you all to understand something I heard, your group have done much victories against evil foes of the past. And thought perhaps you could help a wandering element user out. I wish to help you, please trust me.” He spoke these words in wanting to be an ally than of an enemy to the group.
The room felt quiet, no surprise seeing that the room was filled with a vigilante & an assassin, it’s hard knowing what to do. Sure they fought with Z-Strap who was a vigilante hero & Nightwatcher seems like the same boot, but….gaining the aid of someone train to be an assassin, can it be a safe bet?
“Hmmm….you know, despite the thing about trusting those that are assassins, this guy here looks like he’s in the straight & narrow. So, I think we can help each other.” Pinkamena spoke off in feeling that this pony was someone that can be trusted, he’s not like other evil assassins that take lives.
“Well, if my sister thinks he’s okay, then no point in arguing.” Goldie stated out in feeling that arguing his sister to consider reason won’t work so well.
“He’s right, so we have a band that is more or less, not known hero material of a dark avenger & some smoky assassin.” Jack Zen stated off in seeing what they got, not quite the group gathering they were expecting.
“Hey, we can hear you.” Nightwatcher remotely stated in seeing what the guy was doing, trying to be funny.
“I believe the term is that we must work together to stop this evil plot.” Omega stated forth that they need to work together to stop the danger approaching them.
“Hmmm….” Twilight was thinking about this for a minute before turning to someone. “Nightwatcher, how strong are your chains?” She asked this question forth in liking an answer to them.
“Well, they’re pretty strong.” Nightwatcher boasted off that his chains are indeed very strong, they gotta be as tough for a tough guy to use.
“Are they strong enough to….keep a floating mountain from approaching Ponyville? Because perhaps Chaotix has Canterlot in a force field, but not the mountains ground structure.” Twilight explained that they can use strong chains to be embedded in the mountains ground & rock structure to keep it from moving anymore to their town.
“Well I can safely say I never done anything like that, but hey, never stopped me before.” Nightwatcher shrug off to say this simply that holding a mountain back will be a tall order, but he’ll make it work.
“Great idea Twilight, maybe we can slow Canterlot down to give us more time. What’s next?” Ben replied off in seeing what the idea was, now they need another move to help them out while they have time.
“Next, we need to distract Chaotix to catch him off guard.” Twilight stated this off in what they need to distract the enemy.
“Um, what if we do what the Hoofields did when they offered the McColts a peace offering? Oh, that is…if that will work.” Fluttershy meekly spoke off in her shy way about using something that their last adventure involved that caught the other by surprise; if anyone likes that.
“Fluttershy, that’s brilliant!” Twilight smiled off in having heard the idea to like it.
“It is Twilight?” Rarity raised an eyebrow in not following this strange planning.
“Pinkie, we need you to make a big cake, one to hid a pony in it!” Twilight issued the order in what she needs her friend here to do.
“Goody! I get to make a cake!” Pinkie Pie smiled for joy that the plan about making a cake is tasty news.
“Is she serious?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in not believing this.
“Apparently so.” Applejack shrug off to say that the plan is as what Twilight is making it to be.
“I know the perfect thing, Pinkamena, are you up for a little surprise act?” Twilight turn to Pinkamena in liking her to be involved for a ’surprise’ act here.
“Do you even need to ask?” Pinkamena smiled off eagerly wanting to play a role in such a surprise.
“Can I help, oh please say so!” Discord held his hands in wanting to also help out too. "I told Fluttershy I could, don't make me back out on a promise now!"
“Discord, you’re gonna play a role in trying to approach Chaotix with this plan, make it look like you wanna be on the same side.” Twilight pointed out in what she needs Discord here to do to fool his evil self.
“Wait, you want Discord to make it look like he’s turn tail?” Phobos raised an eyebrow in being shocked to hear this part of the plan.
“That could work, that might fool Chaotix into believing it.” Nyx stated to say this in thinking, if Chaotix sees Discord wanting to be bad again, it may fool the enemy.
“Will Discord really pretend though?” Spike asked off in thinking that Discord was unprofitable, what if he really does turn on them?
“Believe me friends, I can be very perceptive in my acts. But I learn from siding with Tirek it doesn’t end well, but pretending is another matter all together.” Discord explained that he can fool his other self by pretending to turn back to the side of evil while not really doing so.
“Then let us hurry, time is ticking.” Smoke insisted that they have to hurry, the danger is approaching with the clock ticking against them.
The others looked back outside to see the approach Canterlot castle along with the entire mountain structure. They need to quickly get moving if they wanna try to stop it, despite moving slow, it needs to travel 30 miles to reach its target. The scene grows dark, with many thoughts wondering what will come if the heroes can stop a mountain load of trouble? Hopefully with some helpful allies & a bit of luck, they may just do that when they have to face Chaotix…
