Chaos: the Age of Spike

by Kaliann25

All in all it's just another tile in the roof

Michael, president of the Board of Directors entered to the room where all the others were already waiting for him.

“Okay let’s start today’s session” said Michael sitting on his place. “Is there something unusual we need to discuss or shall we attach to the program?”

“Nothing unusual, thank you” said Gabriel, Mr. Boss’ personal messenger. “Let’s keep planning the Junior’s birthday party”

“All the invitations are sealed and ready to be sent” said Azrael very proud of himself. “We just need confirmation of the Board to send them”

Rafael shyly raised his hand.

“Excuse me gentlemen, but I think we shall consider to invite our newest employee and his collaborators; the new Lord of Chaos of world E-326, Spike Sparkle. He revealed Mr. Boss’ identity to his five agents of chaos and I think they’ll enjoy the party, after all is the Company’s biggest event. And we all know how much he and the Junior likes children”

“Yeah, that’s actually a good idea” said Michael. “Go ahead, send them six invitations”

Gabriel raised his hand as well.

“Ehem, sorry guys, is not like I don’t want to please Mr. Boss and the Junior, but isn’t December 25 supposed to be a Holiday in Equestria as well? And most of the children use to spend it with their families”

“You may have a point” agreed Michael. “But still we’re going to send the invitations and ask them to come at least for a little while and say hi to Mr. Boss. I don’t think is too much to ask”

They all agreed and proceed, for something they were high ranked executives.

In Equestria:

Twilight got up early ready to start a new day, and somehow to show Spike that they were still family. She thought in make breakfast for the two of them but noticed Spike has already left.

“Oh, I like to chat while having breakfast” she sighed. “Whatever, let’s listen some radio instead”

“Hi and welcome to HRadio-FM, I’m your favorite disc-jockey Sweetest Blackness, but you can call me Sweet. And this is our top hit of the week. Another Tile in the Roof by Blue Floyd; enjoy!”

Twilight raised an eyebrow, such songs for Celestia’s sake!
Today’s youth were really against education but whatever, the rhythm was good and the lyrics made the ponies think, and surprisingly enough it helped her as a distraction for her situation with Spike.

But there was something about that song… it was too odd and could give some dangerous ideas to young foals and fillies. But she really had no idea…

“Rumble hurry up!” Called Thunder to his little brother, who chuckled while listen to radio.

“Oh, sorry big bro, I spaced out. Let’s go!”

They both flew together to school, where both parents and tutors left their children before go to work. Rumble was a typical colt who didn’t like school, but that morning he was interested in what was about to happen.
At school he joined with his friends the Crusaders and waited.
Cheerilee arrived.

“Good morning kids, I’m glad to see so many of you so early” she said while opening the door of the school. “Now let’s go inside to have a very educational day”

“Teacher, leave us alone!” Protested Feather.

“Feather Weight!” Scolded Cheerilee. “What you just said to me?”

“You heard him!” Joined Dinky, who was one of the best and most diligent students. “We don’t need you nor this ridiculous school!”

Cheerilee frowned.

“Dinky Hooves, I’ll have a very serious talk with your mother, as well yours Feather Weight”

Both foals insolently shrugged.

“Do whatever you want, we don’t care as long as we get rid of you. Are you with me guys?”

The entire school faced the now very scared Cheerilee.

“YES WE ARE! WE DON’T NEED NO EDUCATION!”

“You heard us Miss Cheerilee” defied Button Mash. “Now leave us alone and go where you came, we don’t need classes that controls our minds. Leave us kids alone!”

“Unusually enough I have to agree with the blank flank of Button” said Silver Spoon. “We don’t need you anymore Miss Cheerilee. LEAVE US KIDS ALONE!”

Then one of them shouted.

“LESS TALK AND MORE ACTION! DESTROY!”

The foals went berserk and took several rocks and sticks, brooms, their own backpacks; anything they had at reach and began to destroy the school infuriated. Cheerilee was frozen in panic, what could she do now? Nothing but run for help. Something was definitely not right, but what? And this was no isolated incident, in every school in the Kingdom children raised against their teachers and began to destroy their respective schools.

Luckily Ponyville was a small town and only had that school (the only one they needed) but larger cities had more schools and more damages; especially the capital of the Kingdom, Canterlot itself.
As always Celestia walked to her own school, the Academy of Gifted Unicorns where she was in charge of the first graders (the first half of the morning, the other half personally tutoring the most advanced students). On the entrance she greeted the two captains of the Night Guard: the Air Force Commander, the Black Swordsman; and the Infantry Leader, the Lighting Flash.

“Good morning, Black, Lighting” she greeted.

The two of them military saluted her.

“Good morning Princess, please take good care of our daughter”

Celestia nodded. She didn’t like the two of them since they were wanted mercenaries not so long ago; but Luna gave them a second chance offering them their current position, so now they were under her protection and no matter how badly Celestia wanted to put them behind bars, she just couldn’t.
But at the bright side, thanks to their new position they were able to inscribe their daughter Yui to the Academy and was the best of Celestia’s students.

And suddenly a powerful magic explosion destroyed a tower just behind them. They turned to see a squad of young children… under Yui’s command.

“B squad, go!” Shouted the white unicorn filly.

Another group of children sent a combined magic beam to the nearest classroom destroying it completely and kept attacking, reducing the famous school to nothing. But then a group of annoyed teenagers approached.

“Ey kids! This area is ours to destroy! Remember the deal: we take care of the High School section and you the Elementary School”

“Sorry” said Yui. “We got a little too excited, but go ahead, destroy what’s left of this part”

The leader of the high-schoolers nodded satisfied and did as Yui said.
The destruction kept going making the thing worst and worst.

Black Swordsman and Lighting Flash quickly ran to stop their daughter before things got worst. The blue Pegasus in the black trench coat flew to deal with the teenagers before things go too far (even if it was too late already) while the white unicorn tried to tranquilize her daughter.

“Yui, what you’re doing? Stop it please, you’re destroying the school!”

“That’s the idea mom” said the filly. “You know what the school is? A place where they program all your thoughts and turn you into an automat. All in all is just another tile in the roof”

Celestia approached.

“Who gave you that horrible ideas Yui?”

Not so far away, another building exploded.

“What was that?” Jumped Lighting Flash.

“The Academy for Gifted Confectioners” gasped the alicorn.

Another Academy destroyed on the distance.

“And that was Princess Luna Academy of Arts and Music” said Black Swordsman.

In Mane-Hattan, Babs returned home whistling happily the 80`s hit Another Tile in the Roof after destroying her own school along with her classmates. That was really funny. Her mother didn’t even surprised to see her that early since she was listening to the news on the radio:

“We’re getting reports from all over the Kingdom, foals of all ages are destroying all the schools in Equestria with no apparent reason; simply saying that everything is another tile in the roof not wanting to their thought to be programmed. At this rate every school will be destroyed at noon. This was our flash news report, I’m your disc-jockey Sweetest Blackness, but you can call me Sweet and you’re listening HRadio FM. Now let’s move to our top hit of the week: Blue Floyd’s eighties success, Another Tile in the Roof!”

Babs laughed, in fact that was her idea; and it was great.

From the hidden radio station at Spike’s room; Sweetie Black separated from the mic and winked an eye to Spike laughing happily.

“And all because Babs didn’t studied for her math test, but don’t you think we crossed the line this time Spike?”

The dragon shrugged.

“To tell you the truth I don’t know, I never do. But take it easy Sweetie, after all your tests also starts today, right?”

“But I did studied” said the unicorn

“Yeah, we’re not all eggheads like you” mumbled Scoots from a corner with her text book open. “I really appreciate the extra time for studying”

Apple Bloom closed a notebook smiling brightly.

“So that’s how you do the operation! Thank you for the notes Sweetie!”

“No problem Apple Bloom” said Black looking through the window. “Ey, it looks like Twilight is starting to move! She surely took her time”

“So we should move as well” said Rumble taking his form of Mist. “I studied the entire night so I can do this, now go; after all I haven’t faced Fluttershy on the battlefield yet”

“Yeah, I suppose we have to go now” said Shadow preparing her apples of chaos.

All the team left except for Spike and Sweetie who kept playing the song to hypnotize the foals of the Kingdom.

“Ey Sweetie, are you sure you don’t want to join them?”

“I like to spend time with you Spike” smiled the filly. “Or don’t you like to be with me?”

Spike slightly blushed but smiled.

“No, of course not, I love being alone with you” said the dragon.

Sweetie winked an eye to him and concentrated on the dragon’s magic mirror to spy what was going on all over Equestria, the Royal Guard was passing a very bad time trying to control the foals but they couldn’t use violence since they were fighting with children. It was pretty funny, and since they finished almost all the schools they began to destroy public libraries, the text books’ editorials and such.
Grinning, the small unicorn took the mic again:

“Hi, this is your disc-jockey Sweetest Blackness, but you can call me Sweet and here I am reporting the last news from Trottingham. Editorial LearnMore was reduced to ashes during the last children attack and they’re about to destroy the city’s library; librarians if I were you I would go the heck out of there. But moving to more cheerful news, a letter from little Babs Seed from Mane-Hattan just arrived, asking us to play the eighties’ hit Another Tile in the Roof by Blue Floyd. Enjoy!”

Downstairs, the six Bearers of the Elements of Harmony were already leading to the Chest to activate the Rainbow Power and finish Spike’s disastrous prank.

“First the books, now the schools” complained Twilight taking the Chest. “Is just me or this was directly for me?”

“Yeah, he’s mad at you” reasoned Applejack.

“I don’t know” thought Rainbow. “This seems more like a kid who doesn’t want to go to school today, I remember Scoots told me that tests are starting to day to almost all the schools in Equestria, and since the Agents of Chaos are just a bunch of fillies and a colt…”

“Yeah, that haves some sense, but still we need to fix this” said Twilight opening the Chest.

They extended the aura finishing the foals’ madness and instantly repairing all the damages. Finally they flew back to Ponyville, where the kids were looking at each other with confusion on their faces, confirming that this was another of Spike’s pranks.
But then they listened to the radio:

“Hello again, this is Hypno-Radio FM reporting: the Bearers of Harmony just performed a sad attempt to stop us but… is useless. You see, the only way to defeat our plan is to stop me from using my hypnotic voice, this is your favorite disc-jockey Sweetest Blackness or Black the agent of chaos and I leave you with the eighties’ hit, Another Tile in the Roof by Blue Floyd”

The song’s devilish effect activated again driving berserk all the children of Equestria, making them destroy the education itself.
Suddenly Diamond Tiara pointed to the Castle:

“Attention everypony! Princess Twilight’s castle is still intact! We should destroy it since the new library is inside! We don’t need none education, we don’t need no thought control!”

And to Twilight’s horror, they lead to the Castle in an infuriated hoard.

“No, all of you stop right now!” Commanded the purple alicorn creating a force-field around her castle to protect it from the children’s rage.

“Wow, this won’t be easy, right?” Asked Fluttershy.

“I don’t care if he’s more powerful than me; this time he went too far” said Twilight. “He’s attacking education itself, I won’t allow it, FOLLOW ME!”

“Wait a minute!” Called Pinkie. “He’s more powerful than you?”

“Don’t tell him, I don’t want to inflate even more his ego”

They approached to the Palace where they saw a small radio where Sweetie Black’s voice was heard again:

“It’s that time of the day, sports! Today we’re seeing the rematch encounter for the Iron Pony Competition with your already known contestants Applejack and Rainbow Dash along with the new challengers Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie; facing Night, Mist, Dark and Shadow at the side of chaos. We all expect an unfair competition so let’s enjoy it!”

Mist, Night, Dark and Shadow emerged from the Palace with a small grin that the grownups didn’t like.
Shadow extended her hoof taking an apple of chaos and impacted it on the floor making appear four giant pumpkins where they hoped in.

“And four our first event we have a favorite: escape from the rolling pumpkin”

“Just run and try to not be crushed by our ‘vehicles’ okay?”

Applejack sighed.

“Dang it, defying us to the end, right?”

The Agents of Chaos began to roll their pumpkins to the Bearers.
Applejack jumped right to elude Shadow’s attack but were squished by Dark with very funny effects. Rainbow, Fluttershy and Twilight extended their wings and charged to the Agents trying make them fall from the pumpkins, so the Agents began to elude them while chasing Pinkie, Rarity and Applejack.
Rarity and Applejack had their problems, but Pinkie was using her Pinkie-Sense to elude the attacks and was intact.

“This isn’t friendly!” Scolded Pinkie. “But you’re not the only ones who can fight dirty!”

Night was concentrated chasing Applejack when her tail twitched, and jumped away from the pumpkin just in time when Pinkie shot her with a full-charged party cannon. The pumpkin exploded but Pinkie’s counterpart was intact.

“How did you elude that?” Asked Pinkie.

“Night-Sense”

Pinkie smiled.

“You really mimic all my abilities, right child?”

Night grinned.

“Of course”

Pinkie grinned as well.

“Alright Night, I challenge you to a Goof Off! If I win, you and your team will finish this nonsense. If you win, we’ll retire until tomorrow”

“Pinkie!” Protested Twilight.

“Agreed” smiled Night Seed.

Both Bearers of Harmony and Agents of Chaos exchanged a concerned look but Pinkie and Night weren’t paying attention to them.
Rumble facehoofed.

“Come on! When I suppose to fight Fluttershy?”

Still, the Goof Off started when Pinkie took a tuba, three bongos, a harmonica and her cake-thrower cannon; while Babs took a DJ console and the latest and loudest amps.

“This is how we do it in Mane-Hattan”

The scandal begun at full volume along with explosive cupcakes, whipped cream streams, yogurt balloons, prank piñatas and a lot more. It was a total disaster.
The pink mare and the black filly were running all over, dancing while playing all the instruments and trying to cover the other with food.

“PINKIE STOP!” Begged Twilight. “WE SUPPOSE TO STOP CHAOS, NOT INCREASE IT!”

In a corner, Big Mac and Cheerilee tried to refuge. The teacher was taking notes.

“You know it isn’t the children’s fault, right?” said Big Mac.

“I’m sure those five are in my school and as soon I know who they are I’ll give them homework to keep them busy until university. Oh, nopony messes with education while Cheerille is in charge”

“Okay” sighed Big Mac and resumed his look for his little sister and stop her to destroy thins. “Apple Bloom, where are ya’?”

Back to the Goof Off, the two contestants ended aiming each other with a water gun (Night’s full of yogurt and Pinkie’s full of cake frosting) .

“This is gonna be fun” chuckled Night. “With both your Pinkie-Sense and my Night-Sense there’s no way we can hit us”

Pinkie laughed.

“This is something I always wanted to do but I never had a challenger worthy enough”

Covering their ears, the rest of the girls were witnessing the strange duel.

“Come on, let’s move!” Called Twilight. “We must enter to the Castle and stop Black and Spike”

“Yeah, it seems Pinkie can handle this alone” mumbled Rarity. “Let’s go!”

They did their best to elude the edible shots and entered to the Castle. Without saying a word the group entered to Spike’s room surprising the dragon and the unicorn filly.

“It’s over you little menaces” said Rainbow.

“Oh it wasn’t so bad, anypony dreams about destroy the school at least once” said Black.

“However, your transmission ends now” grumped Twilight kicking the transmitter they were using.

The entire Palace shacked dangerously.

“What now?” Asked Fluttershy scared.

The Goof Off escalated at the level where the two party ponies were using parade carts as tanks throwing all kind of pranks to their rival but failing thank to the sixth sense and pranking the other ponies.

“They’re going to destroy the entire town!” Said Flutterhy.

“Look at the bright side: at least Cheese Sandwich can’t make this worst” sighed Rarity.

“That’s actually a good idea, I’ll go for him” smiled Dark extending her wings. “SONIC DARK EXPLOSSION!”

“NO, WAIT!” Shouted the Bearers but it was too late.

Rainbow grinded her teeth.

“I really hate that girl”

A new tremor shacked the entire Ponyville when a third parade cart arrived, driven by a yellow pony with brown curly mane; that aimed the first two party ponies with a giant melted cheese cannon.

“Oh you have to be bucking kidding me” sighed Applejack.

“Like I said, I hate that girl” said Rainbow when she spotted Dark flying closely to Cheese Sandwich.

“Oh shi…” said Night and Pinkie at the unison when the wave of melted cheese covered the entire town.

Both dizzy and humiliated by the surprise attack of the contestant of the Goof Off, Night and Pinkie emerged from the remains of their parade carts.

“So… Cheese won?” Asked Night.

“Cheese won” confirmed Pinkie.

“Yeah, yeah; you can share the glory later” said Dark helping her friend. “We better move, they’re about to use their Wave of Harmony and we must be save in our headquarters before they find out our true identities”

“Okay”

And they both ran away to join their team partners.
By her way Twilight sighed and made appear a bag of nacho chips and drowned it on the cheese that flooded her home.

“Nice one, we made things worst” said the alicorn.

“At least the kids stopped destroying the schools” said Applejack.

“At least” grumped Twilight. “But dang it! If it wasn’t for Cheese’s intervention, we could get them! I really want to put my hooves on them when we figure who they are”

The others nodded annoyed.

But at the chaotic headquarters, formerly the CMC clubhouse, the team of Chaos were celebrating with the Apple’s finest cider. And then Spike burped six letters.

“What are those, Spike?” Asked Sweetie.

“It seems like invitations” said the dragon reading the things. “Do you have any idea what’s Christmas?”
