Chaotic Nightmare
The day was relatively normal for the main 6, the all decided to have a picnic that day, even Discord was invited but he wasn’t causing trouble, to the contrary he was making the picnic even more fun, it couldn’t be denied that the chaotic twists Discord put on most things was hilarious
“One thing I’m still wondering is how Pinkie Pie threw that party for me, especially with almost no time to prepare.”
“Discord I recently came up with a phrase that will probably do wonders, it goes like this, ‘It’s Pinkie Pie don’t question it’.”
“Oh I’ll definitely be using that from now on.” Fluttershy declared with a hint of a smirk as she and Twilight looked at each other both internally laughing at their inside joke
“So where is Trixie? I had thought she would join us.” Rarity asked, she and Trixie may have… a certain history but she couldn’t deny that Trixie was proving to be a good friend
“She offered to watch Moonlight for the day.” Twilight stated to which Discord gave a chuckle “What’s so funny?” Twilight asked directing her attention to Discord
“It’s not that, it’s just that you reminded me of one of my favorite chaotic creations, this something I enjoyed making even more than chocolate milk rain.”
“WHAT!?” Pinkie asked complete baffled by the very concept of anything being better than chocolate milk rain
“Oh yes, this creation was unlike anything I had created before, before their was no rhyme or reason behind anything I did, such is the very nature of chaos magic, but one day I found myself bored, that was during the time before I was turned to stone, for ages I ruled equestria with an iron paw but I believe theirs an expression for what I was feeling ‘it’s lonely at the top’, before Celesta and Luna even found the Elements of Harmony their was nothing that could rival my power, and nothing was outside of my capabilities, the power to control all of reality, until finally I created something, something that shared my chaotic vision, something I could share my chaotic world with.”
“You made a friend for yourself with your magic?”
“Less of a friend and more of something I could see as family, my creation was a pony, but a pony unlike any other, this pony had the ability to use my powers, she was like a daughter to me, I called her Screwball.”
Twilight nearly snorted but managed to keep it to herself
Discord didn’t seem to notice as he kept reminiscing “I still remember our special song we used to sing to eachother. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder where she is these days, unlike most of my creations Screwball had a will of her own and her magic wale technically also mine is not connected to mine, so Screwball was the only thing I created that didn’t go away when I was first turned to stone, and I was tempted to summon her to me during my escape so we could have all the fun we wanted together, I can’t anymore, I do love screwball but I’m not sure how she would react to all of this. And one more thing, if you were to ever use the Elements of Harmony against her in any way shape or form I would not hesitate to turn Equestria upside down, both literally and metaphorically.”
Their was no reaction after that but the suddenly Trixie’s voice yelled out “Twilight!”
They say Trixie running towards them, and she looked downright terrified
Trixie begun talking with a stutter “T-Twilight, p-please please don’t be mad!”
“Trixie. Where. Is. Moonlight? Why. Aren’t. You. With. Her?” Twilight asked a bit too calmly which caused Trixie to begin to shiver and even tear up
Trixie yelled “This isn’t Trixie’s fault! Trixie was framed!”
Okay this was serious, Trixie had been working on not talking in third pony, if she was forgetting to check their was seriously something wrong
“Trixie what happened.” Twilight asked, her tone much softer
It did nothing to quell Trixie’s nerves
“Twilight promises she won’t get mad at Trixie for what happened?” Trixie asked somehow sounding more timid than when Twilight met Fluttershy for the first time, all 3 times
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Twilight resided the sacred promise that she would one day make legally binding, she was still trying to figure out weather or not it already was
“That’s a Pinkie Promise! You can’t ever break a Pinkie Promise! You can trust her Trixie!” Pinkie declared
“Okay, Trixie, I-I was watching Moonlight. Their was a bright flash, it was so bright that I had too cover my eyes for fear I would go blind, when I could see again… I… I promise Twilight it’s not Trixie’s fault!” Trixie begin to hyperventilate
“Trixie.” Twilight tried to calm her but Trixie didn’t seem to hear her
“Trixie!” Twilight yelled to attempt to get her attention but Trixie didn’t stop
“TRIXIE!” Twilight royal Canterlot voice yelled finally getting Trixie to snap out of it
“I’m sorry for yelling but I need to know what happened next I already promised I’m not gonna get mad at you.” Twilight declared
“The Pinkie Promise is a sacred one! Twilight making it means she won’t get mad at you for whatever happened even if she wants to!”
Trixie finally continued “When Trixie could see again…” she stopped, she was afraid, no downright terrified to say this next part, she’d honestly rather be locked up, or banished, or locked up in the place she was banished to
“Twilight promised and Twilight doesn’t break a promise.” Twilight declared knowing that her talking in third pony would get through to Trixie, also leaving out the unspoken ‘anymore’.
Trixie finally gathered her courage but not much she finally started “When Trixie could see again… Moonlight was gone! She wasn’t invisible that was the first thing Trixie checked for! Trixie checked every square inch of the library 10 times before coming here, Trixie even checked the books in case Moonlight was somehow in one of them! Trixie is so sorry Twilight! Please forgive the pathetic and useless Trixie!”
Twilight suddenly slapped Trixie and declared “I promised I wouldn’t be mad about what happened and I’m not, but I am mad at you for calling yourself pathetic and useless!”
Pinkie muttered to herself “She only really promised not to get mad about what happened so I can let this slide, especially considering what Trixie said about herself.”
Trixie gave a small smile
Twilight immediately glared at Discord, suspecting this to be one of his pranks
“Don’t look at me! I’ve clearly been here this whole time!”
Unfortunately that alibi couldn’t work for a creature like Discord, he had many ways he could’ve possibly been the one to do this, even never leaving the picnic blanket he could’ve done this
As if reading her mind, and Twilight honestly wouldn’t doubt he was Discord declared “I promise it really wasn’t me!”
They eventually agreed to search the town and found many odd happenings, buildings were upside down, bushes were pillows, the streets were soup, oh and let’s not forget the classic chocolate milk raining cotton candy clouds, Twilight was about ready to confront discord again doubting his claim, if she hadn’t heard the sound of crying
Twilight had followed the crying to a pink filly with white and purple hair and a Cutie mark of what looked like a screw and a baseball, she wanted to focus on the lyrics but was more focused on Moonlight who was still in her cradle but with this strange filly, Twilight was about to confront her but she noticed something else, the filly was crying not to Moonlight but to a picture of Discord
Twilight was about to cry from that, apparently this was Screwball and she didn’t even know wether her father was here or not
“It is not the same.” Apparently Screwball declared to herself “This picture is all I have left of him… I have to bring him back but their are only two ways that would ever happen, either the so called Princesses let him go, like that would ever happen, or a spike of chaos strong enough to break him free, now normally I would give up because my power cannot even come close to daddies.”
Twilight’s heart broke from that statement, at least that explained why they never saw Screwball like this in the original timeline as she likely retreated to an alternate dimension to be with an alternate version of her father, now she was wondering, what changed to cause this outcome?
Fortunately Screwball answered Twilight’s unsaid question with “But with even just this fragment of Nightmare Moon’s power I can do it! I can bring my daddy back to me!”
That statement alone was enough for Twilight to feel something deep within, not anger, not resentment, but sadness, she wanted to cry for Screwball, this feeling convinced her that what was needed to stop Screwball wasn’t herself (even though she could, easily) but her father Discord
With that resolve Twilight teleported to the other side of town were Discord was searching
“Ah Twilight, I thought I detected sudden spikes in Chaos Magic but I just suspected it was you.”
“Not exactly… look it’s a long story but I need you to come with me.” She lied, it was actually a very short story that she just couldn’t tell in public
Twilight then teleported herself and Discord back to where Screwball was, but Chaos users are effective and work fast when determined, Screwball had used her Chaotic magic to combine herself with Moonlight and Screwball had a black cote with dark purple and dark gray hair, one eye was a spiral, the other was Moonlight’s/Nightmare Moon’s snakelike eye, and the Cutie mark was now a Screw and the Moon
“Daddy! Your here! I knew if I took that power you would come back! I didn’t expect it to be so soon!”
Discord looked at the pony in slight confusion and almost fear as he stuttered to ask “W-who are you?” He knew the answer already but didn’t want to be right
The chaotic dark pony confirmed his fear by declaring “Don’t you recognize me daddy? I may have gotten a makeover but I’m still Screwball… though that name doesn’t quite fit me now dose it? From now on call me Chaotic Nightmare!”
“Screwy… my chaotic little abomination… what have you done?” Discord asked is disbelief with tears in his eyes
“Your free now daddy! And together we can rule equestria together! Just like before! And now that I have the power of Nightmares on our side!”
“I-“ Discord began but he couldn’t finish, no, he couldn’t ever tell Screwball the truth, it would break her heart, likely literally
Fortunately or unfortunately depending on who was asking Twilight suddenly asked “Discord, what should we do? I think I speak for both of us when I say we don’t want to fight Sqr-Chaotic Nightmare.”
Discord did have one solution, he didn’t like it but this was the best option so he shaped his tail, both his ‘arms’ for lack of better term, were sagging and he couldn’t find the willpower to lift them
Suddenly the Element of Magic was on Twilight’s head
“No.” Was Twilight’s immediate response
“Twilight-“ Discord tried to reason but was interrupted by another louder “NO!”
“It’s our only option.” Discord said, wether he trying to convince her or himself Twilight wasn’t sure but she was sure of one thing
“NO! I WON’T USE THE ELEMENTS AGAINST HER! WHAT HAPPENED TO ‘IF YOU WERE TO EVER USE THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY AGAINST HER IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TURN EQUESTRIA UPSIDE DOWN BOTH LITERALLY AND METAPHORICALLY’? THEIR HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!” Twilight royal Canterlot voice yelled
“I DON’T LIKE IT EATHER BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY BETTER IDEAS I’M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT!” Discord surprisingly, or unsurprisingly royal Canterlot voice yelled back
Twilight stopped to think, and found, she did have one plan
“Discord sing that special song you were talking about! Don’t ask me why just do it!”
Discord would normally question this idea but if it got the real Screwball back he would, plus the fact it was an excuse to sing that song didn’t hurt
(Author note: I’m serious don’t get used to these songs, I’m really not any good at them, full credit of this song goes to DisneyFanatic2364, it was too perfect not to include)
Discord began “Please do not cry my dear your daddy is so very here
And If anypony causes you harm or fear
I will bring them pain and drown them in chocolate rain
'Cause I am your Daddy Discord and you are a piece of me!”
Chaotic Nightmare couldn’t help but smile at the fimiliar toon and sang the next part “Remember that one time you took me to that baseball game?
I got my Cutie mark...”
Discord: ...and things were never quite the same.
Both: (Your/My) wild pitches flew driving the ponies all insane
'Cause (I am your/You are my) Daddy Discord and (You’re/I am) a piece of (Me/You)!”
Chaotic Nightmare smiled “Daddy that was great! Just like old times!”
“It was *sigh* if only the real Screwball had sang it with me.”
“But I am the real Screwball!”
In that statement suddenly Screwball and Moonlight separated, but wale Screwball was back to normal, or as normal as Screwball could be, Moonlight was older than she should’ve ben, in fact she looked less like a foul and more like a filly about the same age as the CMC
Moonlight looked towards Twilight and asked “Mama what happened?”
Twilight didn’t currently have an answer, she was too shocked that her admittedly long shot plan actually worked and caused this outcome
