Disbelief
Pinkamena arose from the ground like an undead entity aroused from it slumber, but just as she managed to regain her balance, the hill behind her sprung to life, grasping the chaos lord and causing her to tumble onto her stomach. She was silent for a time, and her face was devoid of any life, but slowly did light return to it. The hill was a chaotic mass of protuberances taking the shape of malformed tree roots and mud intermingled with stone. It had no beginning or end, and every struggle that Pinkamena performed that broke its body served no purpose as the pieces would grow back.
"Nice job on summoning that thing, Abstract," Concrete congratulated between breaths.
Abstract stared at the entity attacking an ever angry creature fighting against its reins.
"Let...Let go of me!" Pinkie spoke softly, but her voice was gradually increasing back to its usual loudness.
"I did not perform such a thing," Abstract hissed. "This is a byproduct of the spell, now let us to the city. I have want of sharing this trophy with those living there."
Amber Sweets sighed in relief when she saw everyone was okay, but when she saw what exactly it was that Abstract was holding, her face paled and her pupils shrunk.
"Is that...?" she stuttered.
Sweetie Belle paced about her office in the palace. There were no desks as she was strong enough to keep nearly everything afloat, although this wasn't the case with her multitude of shelves made to hold scrolls, books, and parchments. They had been enchanted to float on their own around the large, circular room and to come at the behest of any caller. The walls were covered with runes of various shapes, sizes, and color; all which glowed brightly in the already well lit room. The two guards watching Abstract were watching her with worry.
"And you just LET him leave?" she yelled.
"It's not like can stop that thing? He fought off the chaos lords and even uses weird magic. We weren't trained to fight something like him!" the stallion guard explained.
"That's not an excuse for taking your time to report to me. Now he's out there, attacking Pinkie Pie doing who knows what."
The two guards looked at each other with perplexed expressions.
"Why do you care though? You were planning on getting rid of him at some point, weren't you?" the mare wondered.
"That's not entirely true..." Sweetie trailed off. "I'm more worried about what he could cause. He's an unstable element that clearly does whatever he wants, and that's the real problem. We let him do as he pleases, as long as it doesn't put anypony in danger, but we don't leave him unwatched."
"G-Grand Inquisitor? There's a riot happening in the streets, if the sounds are to be believed," the stallion meekly spoke.
"What?"
Sweetie looked outside the row of windows behind her and saw a large crowd was gathering at one of the gates. Judging by the chrysanthemium, it was Abstract again, but something was off. Roars of anger filled the air, and rage was overflowing from the city.
"What did he do now?!" Sweetie complained.
She rushed down the building to the exit, only to meet with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
"Ya noticed too, huh?" Apple Bloom asked Sweetie.
"Yeah. I don't know what it is, but I'm certain Abstract is involved.
"Why would everypony be angry at him, though? Aside from his behavior, he hasn't done anything to get everypony to want his death," Scootaloo wondered.
"We'll get our answers once we get there, so DOUBLE TIME!" Apple Bloom ordered before rushing off.
The two remaining CMC smiled sheepishly. "She's still as rambunctious as ever," Sweetie sighed.
Finally amidst the crowd, everyone moved away when they saw the three trying to wade their way through, leaving the CMC a free path towards what was visible Abstract and the four he 'rescued'. Some rotten fruit and crumbled bottles had been thrown at them, but they seemed otherwise unharmed.
"What's going on here?" Sweetie asked. "What did you do?!" she yelled at Abstract.
The Inquisitor approached the crystallion and made her best attempt to look him straight in his 'eyes'. Judging by the lights only pointed forward, he couldn't care less about the white pony yelling at him.
Apple Bloom grimaced and stomped forward. "Let me at him. I'll--"
She was stopped by Scootaloo who put a hoof to her shoulder. "Why exactly are they attacking you, Abstract?"
"Attacking me?" he asked. "I am not the target of their discontent." He stepped to the side, revealing his 'prize'. "She is."
Boos, hissed, and demands for the trophy's death were muffled by the CMC's complete shock and horror.
"You brought Pinkie Pie to the city?!" Scootaloo yelled in pure anger.
"In a sense."
"Get her out of here before I terminate YOU as well!" she threatened.
Abstract's eyes glowed bright and he looked down at the orange pony. "Threatening me will not change my position, and I am not threatened by something as weak as you."
Their staredown was interrupted by a guard yelling to his Empress. "Empress Scootaloo! I see Pinkie Pie still rampaging on the countryside. She's fighting some kind of blob."
"She's out..."
Everyone became confused at the report.
"Then who is that?" Apple Bloom said.
She pointed to a tear soaked, pink pony curled up in the fetal position and still sobbing to herself.
"That is also Pinkie Pie," Abstract explained.
"But the chaos lord--"
"Is Pinkie Pie as well."
"...What?" the engineer turned to Sweetie Belle. "Can you explain?"
"I...I have no idea. I've never even heard of such a thing."
"Because I created that spell."
"You...created such a thing in just a few months?"
"It requires more work, but the initial test against the weakest of the chaos lords was a success."
"Wh...What did you do?!"
Pinkie's crying became loud enough to distract Abstract. Using his two horns, he called upon the chrysanthemium to pick her up and keep her mewling form further away from him.
"Take the pony wherever you wish and do with her whatever you will. The chhrysanthemium will obey you only for that task until she is deposited. I have more important things to attend to."
Everypony looked at him in silence, then back at the gigantic monster holding the crying pony on its back.
Scootaloo scratched the back of her neck and frowned. "What is going to happen? What is he even trying to do?"
Pinkamena, meanwhile, went back to the chaos lands where Twilight and Discord were examining her. Discord was traveling in her head with spelunking gear and using a flashlight glowing through the pink chaos lord's eyes. The draconequus' voice echoed while traveling in Pinkamena's head.
"Yup," he said. "She's half here."
"Half here?" Twilight repeated.
"Yes. Half here. Fix your phonograph. I think the needle is stuck."
The lavender chaos lord rolled her eyes. "How did it happen, Pinkie?"
"Don't...CALL me that!" Pinkamena raged. She yiped in pain from electric shocks Discord gave her.
"Bad chaos lord. Bad! Stay down!" Discord shouted. A whip cracking could be heard with his words.
"Just...tell me what happened," Twilight said.
"Well, I recall a few STUPID minions enraging me."
"Nothing new there."
"And while I was stomping them, some ponies came around to annoy me. They tried to crush me with a stone, but I swatted it away. Then..."
"I...I'm not sure. I just remember an ANNOYING black thing hitting me in the head and blinding me with white light."
"White light?" Twilight wondered.
"Black thing?" Discord repeated.

Ah, seems you had a similar Idea. You've done a far better job of implementing it, however. Good chapter, By the way.
8142513 Yay!
8142552 Good chapter, even though Pinkamena went back to the chaos land.
8142996 You sure about that?
8143066 yep, but what about applejack and her chaos demon family?. Something tell me that it more than that to meet the eye.
8143194 Haven't thought that far ahead.
8143227 I see, Even Scootaloo and the others has no idea about what Abstract is planning. Speaking of which, are you forgetting Sombra and his crystal cronies?.
I hope that Abstract know what he is planning.
Speaking of which, I hope that more cmc 10k stories will be arriving soon.
8169769 I've been having consistent headaches and a need to study for my networking, so I haven't managed to write anything for Lovie Dovie, which I need to write for before writing for this, as you know.
8169994 All right, let me know what are you doing.
And I am sorry that you having headaches.
8170423 It's okay. I think I figured out the source of them so they should be disappearing.
8170561 Yes that is what I need to know.
8170561 Are you forgetting Sombra and his crystal cronies?, Something tell me that Sombra is planning something big, it not good sign for Scootaloo and the others.
8181714 I haven't forgotten about him. I just haven't been focusing on him.
8181768 Whatever he planning is not good for Scootaloo and the others, they better watch out.
8181806 :>
8181768 Why not focus on sombra and a flashback of how he regain the crystal empire and corrupt Shining Armor and Cadance.
8181906 Because Abstract doesn't care about how they became as they are. He only needed to know for the chaos crazies to make his spell work.
8181924 Ok understood, he still need to drain Celestia and Nightmare Luna of their magic.
the next chaos lords that Abstract facing could be Fluttershy, or applejack or rarity.
8181937 I was thinking more Applejack.
8182046 Applejack, that means we are going to see Big mac and Grammy smith in their chaos demons forms, not only that we want to see sliver spoon in her chaos demon form.
8194790 Silver Spoon? She was captured? I don't remember that. Haven't looked at early comic in a long time.
8194821 According to Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom, they saw what twilight and applejack done,
Spitfire found Diamond tiara and took her for safety, while sliver spoon became a chaos demon snake.
Meanwhile Apple Bloom rush to tell Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle about what has happened before they were found by Trixie.
8194849 Oooooh. Okay then.
8194864 Let me finish my horror story and I'll resume it. I wanted to work a little more on Sombra here.
8194881 Yes. Nice plans. :>
8194969 They're planned...plans.
8194972 Okay if you say so.
8207781 Like I've said many times before, I told Gates that I wouldn't do things like that. I can circumvent, like what I did for Pinkie, but it won't be wish fulfillment. IF they want freedom, then they have a price to pay.
8208362 Y U KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE IN STORY?
