Chaos: the Age of Spike

by Kaliann25


New powers, new plans

New powers, new plans

The sun raised in Ponyville, and as always everypony in town woke up ready to start a new day. Rarity entered to Sweetie’s room about to wake her but instead of her sister she found a beautiful teenage mare with long bright purple mane, green eyes, long and seductive eyelashes and a skinny body.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WHAT HAPPENED WITH SWEETIE?”

The unknown mare chuckled and then she took the form of an older Black then she regressed to her normal age.

“Sorry for scaring you Rarity, I was trying the new spells Mr. Swirl gave us”

A little more relaxed, Rarity sighed.

“I guess I’ll have to get used to this, right Sweetie Belle? Well, is getting late to school and remember you have to return straight home and…”

Sweetie giggled.

“I have to disappoint you Rarity but we have a meeting with the team of chaos, but when that finish… o wait, I have a date with Spike. So I guess I’ll return a little late but before the evening”

Rarity better kept quiet recurring to all her self-control to not to yell to Sweetie; but then she remembered how the team of chaos saved them from Star Swirl and forced a smile. The worst part was of course the fact that her beloved little sister had a romantic relationship with the Lord of Disharmony of Chaos but again she kept quiet.

“Anyway, is getting late for school Sweetie and since you’re already awake let’s have breakfast and go!”

Sweetie agreed happily and soon enough she was on her way to school.
It was a huge relief not to hide her Cutie Mark of Chaos anymore, same as her friends. They all met at School and calmly waited for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to stare at them as always, they didn’t know that the secret was already out.

And the first one to notice the change was Snips:

“Ey girls! Great Cutie Marks! When did you get them?”

Feather Weight joined:

“Finally, congratulations girls”

“About time!” Cheered Twist. “And what they mean?”

“Yeah, tell us!!”

“After all this time, what’s your especial talent?”

The happy chat continued by several minutes and the girls just were having fun letting their classmates to guess what their Cutie Marks meant, but they had to tell them at some point so Scootaloo extended her wings and the other two girls posed to show everypony their true talents and secret identities.

“Do you want us to show you?” Teased Scoots.

“Yeah, are you really capable to accept the truth?” Continued Apple Bloom.

“You may regret of what you’re about to know” followed Sweetie Belle.

Feather Weight just sighed.

“Tell us already!”

But then Rumble arrived and Snails looked at his flank as well:

“Ey look! Rumble got his Cutie Mark as well!!”

“Of course I did” grinned the young Pegasus. “I have to thank Diamond Tiara for this but, what did I miss?”

“Oh, Sweetie, Apple Bloom and Scoots were about to show us what the y Cutie Marks mean” explained Pip. “And speaking of… what did yours mean?”

The fuzz of course called Cheerilee’s attention.

“Girls, have you really got your Cutie Marks already? Well, congratulations, I was beginning to worry about you. Now, what did they mean?”

But then she noticed the black apple, the bat-like wings and the muscular rabbit. Sweetie’s music note was one thing… but the others got the teacher a really BAD feeling.
By their way the four foals grinned and took their forms of chaos.

“What our Cutie Marks mean? They represent us as agents of chaos” said proudly Shadow Bloom.

“We have the important task to stop our sisters from stopping Spike” continued Black

“Exactly, we make sure that the fun continues and the lord of chaos gives us our powers in exchange, a good deal” explained Dark.

“And it’s so great!” Cheered Mist. “Apple Bloom’s cousin is not here to show you her abilities buy as us, she got her Cutie Mark in chaos. Our destiny is to annoy adults forever and ever”

All the foals muttered, no pony knew how to react.
Diamond’s and Silver’s jaws dropped to the floor, so did their mortal enemies just gave up their secret identities without a fight? How could they? Did they took advantage of the fact they saved Equestria to avoid consequences of their previous actions? No please, their struggle couldn’t end with them winning!
The girls were smiling proudly when suddenly they heard a noise of something heavy falling to the ground.

They turned, Cheerilee just fainted.

“I guess this was to be expected” mumbled Sweetie getting back to normal.

“We better wake her” suggested Apple Bloom on her normal selfpouring a bucket of icy water on the teacher.

“Are you okay Miss Cheerilee?” Asked Scootaloo getting back to normal as well.

With a tic under her left eye and a forced smile Cheerilee nodded.

“Of course dear Scootaloo, Is just that today I began do drink decaf coffee and apparently I fall asleep. Don’t worry about me… oh I had the worse dream, you and the good Rumble were the Agents of Chaos. Shall we enter to school?”

And just like that she entered to the schoolhouse.

“Also in denial?”

“Shall we make her see reality?” Asked Rumble.

“Eh, A’ don’t think so; last time we did that we kinda’ woke up a demented pony. Let’s let her be okay?”

They all agreed and entered to their class like nothing, they had a great day before them.

But moving from the school to a certain castle, certain black and purple dragon was very happy testing his power with the knowledges Star Swirl gave him. There was one in especial that he really wanted to try but it took time to master. He was practicing with a little mirror he found in his room when an irritating knock on his door called him back to reality.

“Twy, I’m busy; what do you need?!” He asked opening the door.

“Sorry Spike but I need to talk to you in person. I know it’s been a while since Star Swirl’s incident but…”

“It really affected you, right? I never thought I would see the day you burn your homemade costume of him”

“Don’t remind me please. However I need to know: what did he show you when he gave you those new knowledges?”

The dragon’s eyes brightened in excitement.

“Do you really want to know? I could tell you but what kind of brother I’ll be if I just tell instead of show? I have a new idea for the new mother of all disasters but I have to practice first. But you’ll know soon enough!”

And he closed his door leaving Twilight more worried than ever.
After having a horrible shiver, Twilight knew this wasn’t going to end well. Spike was acting as a kid with a new toy, he had to try whatever Star Swirl gave him right away.

“I just hope that Cheerilee actually give extra homework to the agents of chaos” gulped Twilight. “They may have fun but not the rest of us”

But Spike was optimistic and teleported to the clubhouse where his friends received him playing as always with the Enchanted Board Games or reading comics in Rumble’s case.

“Girls! I thought you’ll be having extra homework today”

“So do I but Miss Cheerilee is also in denial” explained Black jumping to Spike and nuzzling him. “So we better enjoy ourselves while we can. With our new powers and abilities we have more important things to do instead of listening the teacher’s complains”

“And Diamond and Silver will leave us alone for one” said Shadow relieved. “Now that we exposed ourselves there’s nothing they can do against us, and we can humiliate them whenever we want”

“Isn’t that power abuse?”

“We’re the villains, we supposed to abuse of our powers”

They shared a good laugh and then Spike made appear a mirror.

“Now leaving the small details aside, it’s time to introduce us my new plan: who joins me to the other world? Our advantage is that being another dimension, our sisters won’t react on time. Whad to you think!”

The other agents of chaos grinned excited ready for action so Spike charged his claws with the black and purple energy of chaos. They were ready.
Sadly for the team of chaos it wasn’t that easy, of course Star Swirl’s spells were more complicated than they seemed first but they had to keep trying. At the end they made it but took several days.
In the meantime Twilight was more and more nervous and the most the inactivity of the team of chaos remained the most nervous she got. This couldn’t be any good, she even dared to defy Spike’s security system but she ended up caught in a giant peanut butter jelly sandwich in the middle of Ponyville.

So she learnt her lesson and flew to Canterlot to ask Princess Celestia for advice.

“I don’t know what to tell you my faithful student” said Celestia thoughtful. “I won’t lie, I’m also worried of what they’re planning since we hadn’t had chaos lately. Do you think it would be big?”

“I’m afraid so”

Celestia sighed.

“Remember when he learnt how to control his fire breath?”

Of course Twilight remember, in a matter of days baby Spike reduced to nothing her collection of child stories, the best blankets and curtains in the house and two family albums. And the worst part was when he learnt how to use it in tantrums. That was a nightmare.

“So what I supposed to do Princess Celestia?”

“Well, if you want you can go to with Beatrix Lulamoon, she may have an idea of what kind of powers Star Swirl gave to the agents of chaos (seriously, I can’t believe she’s actually the lunatic’s granddaughter) but I don’t assure you anything, remember she doesn’t like you and is a soldier under my sister’s orders. Not to mention she’s busier than ever now that she adopted a colt. Good luck!”

Twilight nodded and decided to give it a shot. The fact she was a soldier of Luna was a
major annoyance since the Princess of the Night authorized her to be as disrespectful as she wanted with the other Princesses as the rest of her soldiers… somehow Luna found this hilarious but the other Princesses grinded their teeth at this.
But also this was Twilight’s only choice so she began to look for Trixie. As Princess Celestia mentioned, Trixie had adopted a colt recently and considering the time Trixie was about to go for him after school so Twilight only had to look at the school district.
She found her reading on a bench close to the only school that was dangerously close to the red district.

“Trixie!!” Called Twilight.

Trixie looked from her book and after let escape an annoyed groan, she went back to her reading ignoring Twilight.

“Trixie…”

“Trixie knows what you want Sparkle, sooner or later you’ll come to me, but the answer is no. Whatever my grandpa taught me or the agents of chaos is our business; now would you leave please? Trixie is a very busy mare now that she haves a child to take care of”

Twilight sighed knowing it wasn’t going to be easy, but still she stood firm and smiled to Trixie hoping to soften thing between them:

“Anyway, congratulations for adopting Trixie! I’m glad you decided to have a foal of your own. Is a great step for you and…”

The school’s bell rang and all the little fillies and colts left it very happy to met their parents. But one of them called Twilight’s attention: face abnormally flat, a tiny nose, eyes to close to each other and a beautiful smile. He had his problems to follow his friends since he limped a little but the other kids gently waited for him.

“Whoa! Have you noticed Trixie? A colt with Down syndrome. I didn’t know this school accepted foals with disabilities!"

Then the colt noticed them and ran to… Trixie.

“Tisi! Tisi!”

And most for Twilight’s surprise, the colt caught Trixie in a tremendous embrace, but she resisted it and returned the hug while the kid was giggling delightedly.

“Pure Soul, be careful my dear, you’re hurting mommy”

The colt released Trixie looked a little ashamed since he had problems measuring his strength but Trixie just nuzzled him.

“It’s okay, just try to be more careful. Now how was your day Pure?”

“Tisi” he said again curling up to Trixie and then he looked to Twilight introducing her the blue mare. “She is min! My ommy, my ommy Tisi!"

“Yes Pure, I am your mommy” smiled Trixie. “Now how about you tell me your day on our way home, huh?”

Pure nodded furiously and both lead to the red district leaving a very confused Twilight behind. Too surprised to react.

“Very interesting, right?” Asked a soft voice behind Twilight.

The purple alicorn turned.

“Princess Luna”

The Princess of the Night saluted Trixie with a small gesture, and the blue unicorn waved her hat in return and kept walking with Pure Soul.
Luna smiled.

“When Trixie told me she wanted to adopt a colt with Down syndrome I was very surprised at first, as violent and rude as she is I never thought her as a mother. But believe me my friend, I do not regret. Those two really adore each other”

“I still don’t see her as a mom; not to say as a mother of a colt with a disability”

“I guess that it shows you that you never finish to know a pony. Now about what bothers you Twilight, that’s why I’m here. Until now you’ve faced successfully every threat you find on your way with the obvious exception of Star Swirl but he doesn’t count. But Spike is Spike, remember how he always tries to you to win. There’s no real change, only that he know new way to mess with ponies, right? In the bottom Spike is still Spike”

Twilight smiled to Princess Luna.

“Thank you Princess, I guess I needed to hear that”

“Whenever you want Twiligth Sparkle. Now I have some errands to do, so see you later”

Said that she left flying. Twilight stretched her limbs and flew to her home as well. Princess Luna was right, Spike was still Spike; there was nothing to worry about. She entered to her home only to see a pony she never thought she’ll see right on her living room.

“Sunset Shimmer!! What are you doing here?”

Twiight Sparkle, you have to help me!” Asked desperately the yellow unicorn. “The entire world had become a circus! Please, we need your help!!”
