Chaos: the Age of Spike

by Kaliann25


Pay day!

An entire month has passed since Spike was named the new Lord of Disharmony and Chaos; but even if they supposed to be enemies on the ‘battlefield’, Twilight and Spike still enjoyed a good relationship as good siblings. For example, Spike was still the one who always made breakfast, but after what he did to Princess Celestia, Twilight asked him to stop making pancakes and he had no problem with that.
Anyway, that day they were finishing the strong coffee then needed to fully wake up when sompony knocked the door and Twilight went to open it.

“Princess Luna! What brings you here so early?” Greeted Twilight when the Princess of the Night calmly entered to the Castle.

“Oh, greetings to you too Twilight Sparkle, Spike is always a pleasure to see you; and by the way, I won’t forget your last joke, because of you I had to stand Tia’s stupid jokes for the entire day. Do you have any idea how irritating she could be?”

Spike scratched his head nervously.

“Oh come on Princess Luna! It’s just some fun, after all I’m the new lord of Disharmony and Chaos and it’s my work to annoy everypony”

Luna shrugged with a faint smile.

“Yeah, we understand young Spike; you should see the things that Discord did on his good times. Luckily for you, your little prank also gave me the opportunity to shut Celestia for a while. But leaving aside all that, here, Mr. Boss sends you this, a little advance for your hard work” said Luna offering an envelope to Spike.

The black and purple dragon practically jumped out of his chair to take the envelope and examine it.

“Oh this is so cool! My first check for being the god of chaos; and I thought I had to wait an entire eternity to receive something from Mr. Boss. Thank you Princess Luna”

“Oh it’s nothing, the administration is very impressed with your performing and expect more, you promise a lot Spike. Tia would like to deliver this check by herself but she’s still a little mad of what you did to her; even if she’s already losing weight” chuckled Luna.

Both Luna and Spike laughed happily as good friends, or colleagues.

“Ehem, excuse me but… who is Mr. Boss?” Asked Twilight after a while.

“Oh! The unique and only God” explained Luna. “He pays us to be the gods of our respective worlds, or you really thought that Spike, Tia and us do what we do for free? Anyway, we should go now. Congratulations for your first check Spike and keep the good work, alright?”

Spike smiled excited and Luna began to walk outside when suddenly the small dragon called her.

“Princess Luna, I have a little doubt”

“Oh, what can we do for you Spike?”

“You see… my agents of Chaos, I know they help me because we’re friends and they have their own motives but still I’m getting paid and they’re not, so it’s okay if I pay them too? What do you think?”

Luna nodded in approval.

“Of course it’s okay Spike, in fact we think it’s the best idea you ever had. And pay them shouldn’t be a problem since you have the power to materialize whatever you want; but please try to not destabilize equestrian economy making appear too much bits. Or ask them what they want for helping you, that can work too”

“Thank you Princess Luna, I’ll talk to the five of them right now, but first to keep this safe!”

And he teleported away.

“Five?” Asked Twilight with a shiver. “Oh no!”

“So you’re now six versus six” smiled Luna. “Okay, as Tia says, if it wasn’t that our new opponent is Spike I would be really worried about the Kingdom’s safety”

Twilight shook her head.

“This can’t be happening, why would he need five agents of chaos to face us? I mean, we know Spike from a very long time and he knows us as well; why would he need some extra help?”

Luna sighed.

“Because he understands Discord’s weakness very well. Think about it Twilight Sparkle, historically Discord’s greatest flaw was that he didn’t understood friendship and that’s why friendship was a key element to defeat him since always. But Spike not only understands the magic of friendship, he uses it as well; taking away your greatest advantage over chaos”

Twilight grinded her teeth.

“And what can we do, Princess Luna? Chaos can’t be more powerful than friendship!”

“It’s not a big deal Twilight Sparkle, remember we’re talking about Spike, the cute innocent Spike. Besides, for what we witnessed during Nightmare Night was that Spike’s agents of chaos are just a bunch of children; and all children’s weakness are the parents. You only have to find out who are this agents and let their parents ground them”

“It’s not that simple, Spike is very loyal to his friends and he won’t tell us who they are”

Luna just walked to the door.

“As I said, we’re talking about Spike so there’s nothing to worry about. Relax a little my friend”

“But Spike is one thing and another are the agents of chaos!” Complained Twilight. “We don’t know if we can really trust them; a foal with that power cannot be a good combination”

Luna rolled her eyes, bur suddenly remembered something and gave a letter to Twilight.

“You always think in something Twilight Sparkle, calm down. But now, changing the subject, the Secret Service requests a weaponry update, details are on the letter. Now if you excuse us, we have other things to do. Have a nice day Twilight Sparkle”

And finally Luna left.
Twilight just nodded and tried to concentrate on the Secret Service to distract herself from all that Spike thing.

The Secret Service, an elite top-secret military agency that was the most powerful and deadliest of Equestria; formed by the strongest and deadliest soldiers especially trained in physical combat, stealing archives, disinformation and acting. Their mission? To stop terrorist organizations without the good ponies of Equestria know what’s happening.
Twilight herself was a part of that powerful organization in the weapon development division. When she was ascended to Princess, Celestia gave her the option to quit but Twilight kept her position because she loved it too much.

And then she understood! If somepony could find who the agents of chaos were, it was him! The most secret agent of Celestia’s most secret service; the leader of the Secret Service, the best of the bests.
So calmly Twilight entered to a locked room filled with all kind of plastic flowers and useless things, when she finally approached to a fake daisy and pressed its center. The flower projected the image of him, the best of the bests; the greatest spy of all times.

“Hi Blue Blood”

Celestias’ nephew, supposedly a spoiled brat, smiled to his friend.

“Hi Princess, did you received my letter? Good, I need you to deliver the new weapons to my second in command, alright? Unfortunately one of the leaders of terrorist organization Salvation is beginning to guess I’m not really that spoiled brat I suppose to be and have a close eye on me. But don’t worry, we all know Derpy is the right one to safely deliver the weapons without being noticed by the enemy. It’s urgent Twi”

“Blue” said Twilight, “yes, I received your request and I’ll work on it in no time; but in the meantime I’ll use my Royal position for the first time. I Twilight Sparkle Princess of Friendship request the aid of the Secret Service to help me with something. Do you think you can, Blue Blood?”

The master of all spies nodded.

“Of course your Majesty, just tell me what to do”

Twilight took a deep breath and explained:

“Okay Blue. As you should know, my younger brother is the new lord of chaos, right? Well, he’s not acting alone. He has a group of foals helping him as his agents of chaos; I need you to find who this agents really are, I need that information now Blue Blood. Mobilize the whole Ponyville’s division if you need to but I need that info. It’s all clear Blue Blood?”

The prince had a sweat drop on his forehead.

“You know we’re currently dealing with three different terrorist organizations, right?”

“I know Blue Blood, but as you said that leader of Salvation is watching you… so a few days off in Ponyville will help to clear his suspicions, don’t you think? Besides if you help me with this I’ll create the most powerful device ever just for you. Does that sounds good?”

Blue Blood sighed.

“Whatever, but you owe me this one Princess”

“Of course!”

Twilight cut the communication leaving Blue Blood alone with his thoughts.

“Come on! This is totally not our business, we’re soldiers not Guardians of Harmony”

And he did what his instincts of well-trained spy told him: go tell his ultimate superior and auntie, Princess Celestia.
As always he acted a tantrum demanding for his auntie’s attention; most for Celestia’s annoyance and at the end she asked the guards to leave her alone with her good-for-nothing nephew. When they left, Celestia’s expression softened into a warm smile.

“And? What’s the situation Blue Blood?”

“Leaving aside we have enough evidence to start a formal investigation against Fancy Pants and Spit Fire as leaders of the terrorist organization Salvation; Twilight called me like an hour ago and requested the help of the Secret Service to find who are the agents of chaos”

Celestia face-hoofed.

“Seriously?”

“I’m afraid so. So auntie, how shall we proceed? Shall we listen or decline her? You’re the boss so what we do?”

Celestia considered for a few moments and at the end she shrugged.

“Well, Twilight Sparkle it’s a princess now and that makes her your superior, so go ahead. But whatever you find, lend it to me first, alright?

Blue Blood military saluted his aunt and nodded.

“As you wish, agent Blood is ready for duty”

“And before you leave, I have an extra mission for you as well Blue Blood. Since you’re going to spy Spike; can you bring me a sample of his evil candy of all candies? Without it I cannot possibly replicate that thing”

Blue Blood raised an eyebrow to that but still nodded, he was a soldier; he followed orders not questioned it.
Well, once he was in his way back home he remembered he had a reunion with his best friend and his wife: Shining and Candace. But during the chit-chat, the both noticed Blue was very thoughtful.

“What’s wrong cousin?” Asked Candace after a while. “Did something happened to you?”

Blue Blood sighed.

“Sorry, it’s just that my last mission is bothering me; even if I’m an elite soldier much more capable than Shining Armor”

“Ey! You can’t talk about my husband like that!

Shining put a hoof on his wife’s shoulder.

“Candy, ey Candy, my words; not his. I’m not ashamed to admit I have a long way before becoming as good as this guy; he’s a machine of fighting and catching terrorists”

“However, my last mission is simply stupid; but I’m a soldier and I have to follow orders not question my superiors. It’s just that sometimes I wonder if they’re wrong”

“What can I tell you pall” said Shining. “You’re a great soldier, do what you think is right”

Blue Blood sighed, what to do now?

Back to Ponyville, Spike was looking for his friends; expecting to see them in their normal forms but most to his surprise they were in their form of chaos looking at their newest member, Rumble alias Mist, who was listening at the whines of a little frog.

“No way! For real? That pony deserves punishment” said mist, mimicking Fluttershy’s abilities to communicate with animals. “Luckily for you, the great Mist is here to help”

“What she says?” Asked Night Seed.

“That Diamond Tiara found her nest on the garden of her house and made the servants kick Froggy out of her beloved home. I mean, that little spot on the garden belonged to Froggy’s family for generations and now Diamond comes and kick her out just like that. No, I can’t allow this to happen, get ready”

At Mist’s touch, the frog grew in size making its legs bigger and much more muscular with two heart tattoos with the words I LOVE MY MOMMY in both sides. The frog kissed her new muscles and jumped back to Rich’s manor. Half of a minute after Diamond Tiara was kicked out of her room by the frog herself who flexed her new muscles and jumped back to her nest.
Of course the scene made the agents of chaos burst in laughs, including Spike who joined quickly.

“YOU!” Shouted somepony.

It was Fluttershy who flew to Mist with her Stare at full potency.

“I saw what you did to that frog, turn her into that…”

“I gave her the opportunity to revenge” gulped Rumble trembling at that Stare. “My function of chaos is to change animals into mutants and let them do what they want…”

“I don’t care about your function of chaos, nothing gives you the right to use the animals for your egotistical fun. It’s cruel and mean, and…”

It was too much for Mist, Fluttershy’s Stare was too much for him, but then Spike said:

“Ey genius, you have your own Stare, remember?”

“Oh you’re right!” Said Mist suddenly using his own Stare to answer Fluttershy’s. “What about this, huh? How does it feel?”

Slowly the little confrontation began to call public.

“What’s going on?” Asked Rarity.

“Mist is using his Stare against Fluttershy’s” explained Black. “And it’s awesome!!”

“And who is Mist?” Asked Pinkie Pie approaching too.

“Fluttershy’s counterpart” explained Shadow. “Now we’re officially six versus six”

After a small pause, they heard a powerful shout.

“WHAT?”

Applejack and Rainbow couldn’t believe what they just heard.

“You have to be kidding me…”

“No, it can’t be”

Spike smiled.

“But it is” said the dragon. “Shadow, Black, Dark, Night, Mist and me vs. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight. Our team is complete”

Oh no, bad news for everypony.

“I’m glad Mist successfully joined the rest of us” said Spike, “but right now we have to talk to you guys, can we go to headquarters now?”

“Sure” said Black. “Mist, stop that already, we have a reunion”

“Okay” said Mist shrugging “Great Stare-contest Fluttershy, let’s try it again some other day”

And the Pegasus joined the rest of his team that left leaving the Bearers of Harmony without know what to say. Oh, and right at that moment Diamond Tiara along with Silver Spoon were kicked out of the house each one with a black eye.

“You owe me a pair of new glasses” complained Silver.

“Whatever” mumbled Diamond.

Finally at the Crusader’s clubhouse, now the headquarters of chaos, Spike already explained the situation.

“So what do you want me to give me for your great job?” Asked the little dragon. “I know you do it because you like it and we’re friends; but I cannot accept a payment unless you’re getting paid too”

“Well thank you for the gesture buddy” said Mist examining Mr. Boss’ check. “Anyway this is pretty cool, don’t you think? A check signed by the unique and only God. It sounds almost surreal”

“Yeah, so awesome” said Scoots examining the signature. “So you’re gonna get one every eternity? Great, good thing dragons live for thousands of years”

“I think he’s now immortal” said Apple Bloom. “Right, Spike?”

“Yes I am” smiled the dragon. “But we you’re changing the subject guys. About your pay…”

Sweetie considered it for a little.

“Oh, I know! a Mexx Factor make-up set deluxe edition to conquer the colt of your dreams, I have somepony in sight”

“That sounds lame” laughed Scoots. “Spike, I want tickets to go see the Shadow Bolts! They’re practically slaughtering the Wonderbolts in every show they perform; and the best part is that they’re leaded by the Night Air-Force commander himself, Black Swordsman! I want to see that show Spike, please”

Night Seed thought about the ball her school was offering next week.

“Can you give me the finest dress you can find please? I have to look the prettiest in my school”

“I want the toy Diamond Tiara promised me when she sent me to spy you” said Rumble. “It’s the best of the best”

Spike was about to clack his fingers when Apple Bloom jumped to stop him.

“WAIT!”

“What’s wrong Apple Bloom? Don’t you want something for you as well?” Asked Spike.

“Is not that, just try to think for a little, okay? If we suddenly appear with those things we didn’t have before the adults are going to ask where we got it. Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Thunder Lane and Orange Blossom are no idiots. They’ll begin to suspect and before we know it, they’re grounding us forever especially Rainbow and Applejack after the Iron Pony competition”

“Then what?” Asked Sweetie.

The genius was Rumble.

“I get it, we can go on vacation to a nice place. The night of the crazy doors my folks and I ended up in a very cool beach where they had a super luxurious hotel with all included: food, drinks, jet-sky; surf and a great arcade with the latest enchanted board games. I really want to go back to that hotel; Royal Ponimeron I think is called. It’s great and the weather is just perfect. Let’s go this weekend.

“Sounds good” said Spike making appear several gems. “I can make the reservations, just have to pawn these babies and it’s all done, it’s great to have unlimited powers”

“We have the same problem Rumble” sighed Apple Bloom. “Don’t you think our parents are going to ask you where we were this weekend?”

Rumble winked an eye to her.

“If they know we left. Think about it, ey Spike; what if you create us a replica, something to replace us during our little trip?”

Spike’s eyes widened.

“Rumble, you’re a true talent! I made the right choice with you”

“I have to admit, it’s very clever” said Scoots.

The boy just shrugged.

“What can I say? Pranking is like my specialty”

The girls celebrated Rumble’s idea and Spike vanished to start preparations. It was easy, first he went to Los Pegasus to sell diamonds as big as a pony head; then after he got tons of bits he went to Royal Ponimeron Resort and payed in advance six suites with the all include pack.
Finally he returned to Ponyville where Sweetie helped him to make clay replicas and finally he gave them life with a small blow. They were ready for their vacation without anypony noticing it.

And while the team of chaos planed their move, Luna happily returned home after an entire day of errands.

“Luna! Luna! You won’t believe what Twilight Sparkle just did” said Celestia when her sister walked into the Throne Room.

“Did she called the Secret Service to investigate Spike?” Chuckled Luna.

Celestia froze in surprise.

“How did you know?”

“I insinuated it of course. I have a little suspicion but I need Blue Blood to confirm it”

“I’ll let you know when Blue Blood brings the information to me” smiled Celestia.

Luna nodded and entered to her private wing of the castle ready for some rest, but before she closed the door Celestia asked something:

“Luna wait, about your suspicion…”

“Let’s just say that like me, this girls I suspect also live under their older sisters’ shadow so they decided to form their own path”

And then she closed the door.

The rest of the week passed really quick, with Mist still excited about his powers and helping animals to get their revenges against their owners. For example Opal put Rarity into a sweater too small for her restricting her mobility, but nothing important.

“So are you ready?” Asked Spike the Friday afternoon. to his agents.

“YEAH!” Answered the fillies and colt.

“Okay, let’s move!” Said Spike clacking his fingers made them all disappear.

Outside the clubhouse, a gray Pegasus with blonde mane and usually twisted eyes but now looking straight to the wooden construction just nodded and placed her hoof on her mailmare cap to send the message to all the active agents for this mission:

“Lieutenant Hooves from the Secret Service reporting: the agents of chaos arrived to the beach; repeat: the agents of chaos arrived to the beach. All units get ready!”

From his hotel in the middle of Ponyville, the most secret agent of Celestia’s most secret service got the message from his second in command.

“You heard Derpy, we need to get those proofs and we need them now. All units, this is a Priority C level situation; I need you to finish this as quickly as possible”
