Not what I expected... But I definitely approve of ironic punishments. Mmm hmm hmmm, I cannot wait to see where things go from here....

7773008 Trust me, this is just a set-up to have the girls lose the Elements. I'm still going with the Political backlash that Ultrapoknee suggested.

7773013 ... EVEN BETTER. Permit me if you will, an evil laugh to celebrate the moment?

7773016 I'm already doing that my good man

7773025 Oh, marvelous.... [*Masque goes full-waffles-laughter*]

Could have been longer but still great all the same.

*grins maliciously* Perfect!!! This is just perfect!! I love what you have done! This is gonna be good!!

7773025 I think we need a dose of Mark Hamil.

Interesting theory. Twilight is gonna get her ass beaten by Celestia.

Yes I know that sounds kinky to those with dirty minds.

You know, it's interesting as a concept goes. Having the elements orchestrate to members that offer the opposite of their designated status is something I haven't seen before. It's a bit of a stretch for myself, but eh, it probably works for this story.

Although I will offer something for Pinkie Pie. Yes she does suffer from despair or having bouts of it, but I would consider that not her 'attribute' but it is actually Joy. Pinkie takes joy from her work. Pride from a good smile. She does everything in her power to spread it. Making others happy makes her happy and in effect, she is battling despair. From personal experience {taken from someone who went through a rather dark depression} feeling joy at all can be difficult but Pinkie does it and does it with a smile. She falters, but always gets back on her hooves. She's also very good at reading others, like her seeing the 'true smiles' and being the one who's hesitant to use the elements.

Really, I expect her to be the one who confounds the Overlord and walking over to give 'despair' a cupcake. She wouldn't really treat it as an adversary, just someone who needs a friend to keep pushing onward.

Oh snap, I KNEW that something was going to happen at the Gala before it's closing the night, but not like this one.

Twilight and her friends really screwed up this time, especially Twilight. Now all of them are trapped in their own past nightmare and horrible mistakes they made.

(Cue in the maniacal dark Samus laughter from Metroid prime 2 and 3.)

..........You...........you.....YOU.............
YOU F*CKING GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry M night shyamalan.
But you jsut lsot your title for king of twists!!

7773263 I Second that!!

7773263 Before i start bragging, maybe you can clarify what exactly is genius?

Oh man this is getting good, gud and guda.

7773537 Because the overlord is RIGHT!!!!!!
At the very beginning of the series twilight was the pure definition of enmity-spike doesn't count as a friend here, she just treats him like a servant and doesn't even help him in any of his things even though he helps her in everything- Applejack as well, because she lies A LOT, especially to herself, when she thought she could do the entire acres by herself she kept telling her friends and herself that she could do it, even though she couldn't to the point of near death due to exhaustion.(I'm eager to know what you have in store for us for her secret). Rarity is self explanatory with her ability to manipulate others for her own gain and so own.Rainbow dash, although she will fight for her friends, she's got HUGE ego problems, and that can lead to her making decisions that will ultimately betray her friends. As for Pinkie and fluttershy, I got nothing, but I am excited for what you're planning for them.
...............
On a side note, where the hell is discord at?
Doesn't he love jazz punk? I'm surprised he didn't boot Ovelord and Gilda from the dance floor so he could have it for himself.

7773615 Discord...well, let's just say he was trying to get the animals together for Fluttershy after he heard the first gala...it was not going well.

7773037 Oh hey, the person that I like and once made a discord server with who probably blacklisted me on discord because of my chaotic mind making me say that I would like to kill the person who stole my phone. Long time no see.

A toast to chaos? I have many wines in stock, maybe a few from 10000 years ago. I recommend you dilute those, they have enough alcohol to incapacitate an elephant in a small glass.

I assure you, I only rarely get as enraged as I was at that time.

Now, onto what to actually say about this chapter... Eh, fuck it, Someone else mentioned it.

Onto the Elements... Yes, they are the antithesis. They only follow what they thought the elements are on occasion, usually at the end for some lesson while intelligent people would know the non-assholish approach and the non-treacherous path from the get-go.

7773749 Uh are we going to have a problem here? If so, don't bring it to my story please. That's all i ask.

7773045 WHERE IS THAT FROM, I MOST KNOW!!!!!

I will miss my idea of him making the elements take human forms and have them remake the race and try to destroy him at the same time, but he did say that they were the opposite of them so there might be a loophole for us but again who knows... anyone, HHEEEEY YOOOOOU GUUUUYYYS!

What a twist

7773942 A show called the whitest kids you know.

What a wonderful twist...

7774305 ok thx

I have to agree with your statement considering what we see in the show.
