He snapped his claws, time slowed down,         “Huh, still not enough chaos for me to just stop time is there?” Discord mused to himself, as the beam slowly started to pick up speed. He then gained a evil smirk as a very bad idea came to his head, he snapped his fingers and a second Discord appeared. “Hello Discord 2,” said Discord. The rainbow beam sped up even more.         “Hello Discord,” said Discord 2.         “Your goal is to find a being as chaotic as me and give him our powers, our knowledge and our good looks, then transport him here, got it?” asked Discord. Discord 2 gained a evil smirk.         “Right away!” The second Discord said as he saluted and teleported away. The original Discord began laughing like a madman as the rainbow beam resumed it’s normal speed. The last thing Equestria heard of the draconequus was his evil chuckling as he was slowly turned to stone. Across equestria, all ponies felt a chill go down their spine, regardless of whether they could hear it or not. __________________________________________________________________ Earth, North America, 12:09 AM         Discord 2 slowly drifted around the Earth to find a being as chaotic as him, when he started to feel strong amount of chaos emanating from one person. Discord 2 started slithering through the sky towards the strong amount of chaos. He came to a blue, second story building on a street corner. Looking through a second floor window, the doppelganger of Discord laid his eyes upon a 16 year old human male. Discord 2 snapped his talons together and teleported inside the room scaring the only person in the room. The human looking up at him in surprise.         “Question for you, why do you not scream?” asked Discord 2 confused. The teenager looked up and spoke in a hard voice,         “You're cool looking.” responded the teen. Discord 2’s eyes widened in surprise, then a sharp smirk formed.         “I have a proposition for you, Mortal,” said Discord using an age old voice. The teenager grinned,         “I accept.” Discord 2 was about to continue when he realized what the teen had said, he then gained a look of confusion, then he slowly gains a grin, before snapping his fingers as everything goes white. And the last words you can hear are “oh this is going to be FUN!” __________________________________________________________________ Equestria, Canterlot, Royal Castle, 12:10AM         The extensive party for the harmonious recapture of chaos was still going on. Six particular ponies could not help but notice a brewing sense of unease from within themselves. The Princess of the Sun noticed their unease and walked over to her prized student, Twilight Sparkle. Putting a large white wing around her, and her white fur hand on her shoulder, the two walked towards a vacant balcony to talk.         “You seem uneasy.” Celestia noted in her motherly tone. The two looked at each other, Twilight’s eyes filled with discontent. Twilight lifts her hand to rub the back of her neck, grimacing slightly and swaying slightly. “Perhaps sharing your unease will help.”         “It’s Discord. When we froze him, he was laughing.” Twilight says, unsure about herself. Celestia gains a concerned expression at this.         “Twilight we all know that Discord is insane, so he may have been laughing while in pain and was about to get turned into st-” Celestia stops as Twilight interrupts her.         “The thing is Princess, it wasn’t a sad laugh, or even a pain filled laugh, the laugh was…. well happy,” Twilight was unsure, then scared as a look of horror fills Celestia’s face. She quickly opens her wings and heads down towards the gardens where Discord’s statue resides. When she lands Twilight teleports to her and runs over to where Discord’s statue sits, Celestia quickly pulls back her hand and forms a fist and is about strike the statute when a beam of light erupts from the Everfree Forest. Celestia’s fist connects with the statue and destroys it, finding it hollow.         “Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,” Celestia stutters as she falls backwards. Twilight looked on scared,         “Princess what is going on?” asks a shaky Twilight. Celestia shakes her head, standing back up to her regal pose with cold glare and a hard voice says,         “Go gather the other Elements,” Celestia says. “Discord has managed to escape again.” As Twilight sprints off to gather the others, Celestia glances toward the everfree forest. “I knew it wouldn’t be so easy.” __________________________________________________________________ Equestria, Everfree Forest, Outside of The Castle of The Royal Pony Sisters, 12:21         “God damn! That hurts!” I yell as I feel my body changing, information being thrown into my mind as blood slowly drips from my mouth and back as I feel things getting added and changed. I slowly drag my body over to a pool of water a few feet from me were I kneel up and take a look at myself. Well first out of the way I am completely naked, and all of my hair is white and I have wings attached to my back which seem mismatched, one being a bat wing and another being a large bird wing. On top of my white hair, there is a deer antler and a bluish horn. My eyes have changed color from normal, the whites of my eyes changed to yellow and my iriss changed to red, I also gained a large pointed tooth in my mouth, below my mouth I had a nice goatee. On my chest I have the word CHAOS burned onto my chest. My left hand has changed to a talon and my right hand has changed to what seems like a lion’s paw. Right above my ass I seem to have gained a red-goldish tail.         After staring at myself for a few more minutes, I remember what the Draconequus did to do stuff so I snapped my talons together wishing for some clothes and low and behold some did appear, out of thin air no less. I put the brown colored jacket with an checkerboard inside on with the collar popped. I put the pants on with one side being yellow with an black and white stripe going down the pant leg, the right side of the pants were green that slowly turned to red at the spiked bottom with three arrows on it. I also have some wraps and wrap those around my feet and somewhat of my legs.         With that I finally look around at the place I crashed at. There is a lot of trees, like a lot, also a castle… oh look, a castle! I keep an even pace while I try to get my wings to work, I finally manage to get off the ground and move quite a bit faster towards the castle.         I hear the sound of a horn in the distance and look towards the night sky to see a lot of white and gold shapes moving towards my location. I quickly assume this is a bad thing. I start towards the castle faster and get situated inside. I summon up a throne for my self in the dusty stone castle, that in my opinion has seen better days. I sit on my evil looking throne with deer antlers on top and wait for the guests. __________________________________________________________________ Canterlot         Celestia quickly teleports in front of her sisters door and slams it open scaring her nude sister who appears to just came out of the shower. She screams and drops her towel before she realizes who it is that just barged in and sighing. “Tia, it would be appreciated if you would stop barging into my room,” Luna says with a tinge of annoyance while looking for clothes.         “Discord has escaped again, sister,” Celestia said in a somber tone. Luna’s annoyed face slowly turns into shock then anger. Luna quickly flashes her horn and after the light has dimmed can be seen a scaled wearing silver armor with blue cobalt going down the center and along the sides and back. The armor has the appearance of scales, she has spiked shoulder pads with a horn coming out of them, while the rest of the outfit is very much the same as the chest piece.   Luna then raises her hand holding a huge black and silver with two holes near the base and a wooden handle. Luna can be seen walking out of her room with some floor tiles breaking along the way. Celestia sighed at how much that was going to cost. She made her way out to the court yard where both Day and Night guards were gathered along with The Elements of Harmony, Shining Armor Captain of the Day Guard, Luna, and Lunar Might Captain of the Night Guard. Celestia quickly lit up her horn and a set of the armor Luna was wearing but gold with some purple metal appeared on her along with a silvery-blueish rapier with a small handle with a large ring going around the grip. Celestia goes up to the front of the guards along with her sister, as the guards salute the Princesses. “As many of you may have heard, Discord The Lord of Chaos and Disharmony escaped today, then was beaten and sealed back to stone by The Elements of Harmony,” many of the guards nod at this, “That was a trap.” At that many of the guards gained a shocked expression at this while Luna follows up, “there was a major spike of chaotic energy in the Everfree Forest, around our old castle, we will separate into five groups and surround the castle. I want 20 Unicorns, 20 Pegasi and 20 Earth Ponies in each group,” the guards quickly sort themselves out as Luna continues, “Guards Move out!” Luna shouts the final order as the guards in yellow and purple armor move towards the carriages or start flying in the air as they wait for the signal to go. As the Solar Sisters board the uncovered chariot along with the mane six and the guard captains. Luna’s hand raised and then fell as the signal to go. Luna’s and Celestia's horn lit up as they cast orbs of light towards the Everfree Forest both their respective colors. As the guard heads towards the old castle, Celestia turns towards the group as Luna puts up a shielding spell to protect them from the wind. “Girls,” Celestia says with a stern tone while addressing the six mares, “I want you to no matter what, I want you to stay close to us, no matter what you see, we have no idea what Discord has done,” as she gives the order her tone leaves no room for argument. As the small army moved closer to the old castle a large amount of light suddenly shot up into the sky moving back and forth as spotlights. You could feel the tension in the night air as the guards tensed waiting for anything to happen. The guards approached the ground as the carriages jostled as they hit the ground as the ponies braced themselves with their hands. When the chariot stopped shaking and the girls sorted themselves out of they left the chariot with Celestia leading. As they looked around the area were they and the guards had landed the girls could see a camp slowly starting to take form. Luna walks into the middle of the camp as the guards stop what they are doing to salute her. “I want ten unicorns to stay behind with some pegasi, to protect the camp from the monsters in this forest,” Luna says to the assembled guards. With a little shuffling about 17 guards got out of line and moved to the side of the group. Luna starts to move towards the old castle with the spotlights that were shining on them in the sky, surprisingly they had originated from the castle. While Luna slowly made her way towards the old castle, Celestia turned towards the girls and lit up her horn, with a flash the box that contained the Elements of Harmony landed in her hands, she used her magic to slowly open the box to show the gleaming necklaces and one tiara. Celestia floats the Elements over to there respective ponies. “I want to make this absolute, you are to not move away from me or Luna, you froze Discord once already he is likely to take revenge, also do not take off your Elements, Discord’s magic can still affect you, but it will most likely reduced to a great amount.” Celesta warned. The six girls nodded to the princess as Celestia teleported them up to Luna who was still in front of the guards. When they reached the front of the castle they noticed a small sign put above the doorway surrounded by blinking lights, ‘Now Showing: The Past of The Sisters’ Celestia and Luna just glanced at the sign as they went into the dark and windy castle, while the six girls stared at the sign a bit longer, wondering what it could mean. As they entered the castle a door suddenly sprung up from nowhere to block the entrance. Rainbow Dash started flapping her wings and got airborne as she shot towards a window, where she bounded back as a invisible wall covered the windows and holes in the wall. Rainbow just sighed as she landed visibly disheartened. As the group continued to get closer to the middle of the castle, the floor get better and the castle started to look not abounded. Once they got to the throne room Luna and Celestia stopped, stock still. The girls looked past them and stared shocked at what they saw. The castle was full of life, there was ponies scurrying everywhere, setting up a table in the middle of the throne room, and on the throne was the two ponies that made Celestia and Luna stop in there tracks, “M-mother…” Celestia stuttered as she started to cry, “F-f-father..” Luna could only utter as she started to break down, along with her sister. Twilight just stared as the two most powerful ponies she knew were crying and breaking down in front of her. “P-princess?” Twilight asked concerned, thinking that they were in trouble, from Discord’s tricks. The King of Equestria’s Head turns towards them, with love in his storm gray eyes. The King Alicorn stands up from his throne and slowly descends towards their group. He stands before the table and kneels with his arms outstretched and smiles as two tiny alicorns run up to him and jump into his arms as he closes them for a hug. The fillies giggle as the King kisses them on the forehead, “Me and your mother love you both so much,” as he kisses the white alicorn on the head, “Celestia,” then he kisses the blue alicorn on the head, “Luna.” He smiles and the scene fades and a counter shows up in the middle of the room as the years on the counter go by faster and faster, until it stopped 200 years later when the throne room moved back into focus. The room had not cheery feeling no happy music or lights. In fact it look like it was dead. At this Luna started crying even harder, while Celestia tried composing herself.  When Twilight looked at her quizzically Celestia point at the colored window on the wall and and the girls gasped when they saw what was there. The was the king and the queen and a very familiar creature fighting a  red and black centaur with large horns and an orb of magic between the horns. “That, is Tirek, one of the only creatures capable of stealing magic came to our land and hated ponies.” Celestia stated, “Tirek stole our parents magic making them weak to his might. Until Discord came and used the last of his powers to defeat Tirek.” “But that would mean that Discord is a hero, why is he all evil?” Pinkie asked Celestia. Celestia just looked back at the window, “Twilight what is the 1st Law of Magic Conversion.” Celestia asked, still looking at the window. Twilight looked at her in surprise, and searched around in her head for a bit before she responded with, “The 1st Law of Magic Conversion is ‘Magic cannot be destroyed, simply converted, like when a pony dies, it’s magic is either put into the earth, if it is too much then it is put into the next living thing closest to the source of that magic,’ so that means that..” Twilight gasped and started to tear up, as the others looked on in concern. “Um… Twilight what is wrong, if you don’t mind telling that is” Fluttershy asked in her meekness. Instead of Twilight responding Celestia did it for her, “You all know how magical me and my sister are correct?” Celestia asked, upon seeing nods she continued to talk, “Discord was at our level then, when our parents were 100 times more powerful than me and Luna put together, for our Father controlled Time while our Mother controlled Space.” The ponies were shocked to hear such power existed. “But why is he all meany-wenny?” asked Pinkie Pie in her bubbly way. “You all know how more power is harder to control, like when Twilight was a filly she was so powerful she turned her parents into plants, which is hard for most unicorns that have studied magic all their life. Now Twilight let say a 70 on the magic scale while myself, Luna and Discord back then where at least a 180 each, while my parents were around a million. So after Terik sucked there magic and got beat where did that magic go?” The ponies had a look of confusion on their face before they slowly gained a look of understanding. “When Discord absorbed all that magic, his mind snapped it was simply too much to handle. His mind needed to get rid of that magic fast so he did the fastest thing he could to get rid of it. He caused chaos.” With that said the room disappeared and quickly showed Discord in the castle getting frozen to stone, with Celestia and Luna older now crying at their friends defeat. It switches to a hallway that shows Luna slowly making her way to her sister’s room. They were all surprised to hear Luna start singing, “Now the hour has come at last The soft and fading light Has crossed the west horizon And has bidden us goodnight And what a lovely night it is To walk a moonlit field To see the softer shades That are by starlight now revealed” Luna looks at the sun setting with an angry scowl. “So why is it that now, When all is quiet and at rest When candles glow and all the world Is at its very best The ponies of Equestria Should lock themselves away To shun the moon and wait instead For Sister's sunny day?” In umbra Luna est (the moon is in shadow) Luna enters her sisters room still singing, while Celestia looks on confused. “Am I so wrong to wish that they Would see things like I do? And am I so wrong to think That they might love me too? Why shouldn't they adore me? Is it not within my right? I'll not be overshadowed! Mine is not the lesser light! I've waited long enough now For them all to come around And though the Sun may plead and threaten, The Moon will stand her ground” At this is shown to she Celestia crying and asking her sister to stop when they notice Luna’s feet and legs starting to turn black. “And all will know the wonder Of my dark and jeweled sky When all the world is wrapped In an eternal lullaby So say goodnight at this, The final setting of the sun Tomorrow dawns in darkness The nighttime has begun!” And with the end of the song Luna turned fully into Nightmare Moon, and started fighting her sister while destroying the castle in the process. The vision quickly cleared as the old throne room came into sight, with its rotting tapestries and cracked floors. Twilight turns to Celestia, with a look on her face, “Did Discord do anything helpful after he turned mad, Princess?” Twilight asks wondering if the monster did any good. Celestia turns to Twilight only to be cut off by another voice in thee room, “Why, yes Twilight he did, he used the king and queens bodies and souls to make The Elements of Harmony.” > THS 2: Hello, my little pony friends... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Human Side By: White Dragon ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2: Hello, my little pony friends… (No one’s POV) The ponies all stopped to look at the being on the throne. He was tall with white hair and looked at them with an evil smirk and madness dancing in his yellow eyes. The ponies knew that this creature was related to Discord, the features were too similar to not be. As the creature started walking towards them Luna unleashed bolt after bolt of magic fueled by her anger. The creature simply held up his hand as the bolts bounced off a shield and destroyed the castle walls around them. But that did not stop it. It continued walking towards them as Celestia joined in on the fight, with her sister as she yelled to the others to run. And run they did. Twilight and the others ran as fast as they could heading towards the exit, it had seemed that one of the bolts of magic had destroyed the blocked door and made a hole large enough for the girls to run out of towards the guards that were on stand by. The guards saw the Elements run out, but not the rulers as they started to get ready to head into the castle. Before the guards could charge in a large explosion rocked the ground as half the castle crumbled into the pit below it. The explosion lit up the night sky and the trees around them. Before anyone move, an object crashed into the ground before the door to castle, making a large crater into the ground that threw up a large amount of dirt and dust. After the dust had settled the guard gave a gasp and a few medical ponies ran towards the Ruler of the Night limping towards them. Luna’s armor was mangled and many pieces were either broken off or melting. Fluttershy left the girls to go help the doctors with Luna. As the rest of them wondered where Celestia was and how she was faring. (Back inside the Castle of the Two Sisters) (No one’s POV) Celestia stared shocked at where her sister was a moment before, she turned back to the creature who was floating in the air crosslegged, staring at her. “Where is my SISTER!” Celestia yelled at the creature with a snarl at the end. The creature gave her a stare and snapped his fingers, floating back down to the ground and stood up. Celestia could not deny it any longer, that this creature is either Discord or an avatar of Discord, she guessed the latter, due to the changed features, and almost no talking from him which was a trait that Discord didn’t ever use. “Your sister is fine, you however will not be,” the creature said while sighing at her, that made Celestia more angry at the creature who was not taking her seriously. She charged a fireball at the tip of her horn that quickly grew to a size much larger than herself. The fireball lit up the area and killed most of the plants in the surrounding area. She was making a miniature sun. She compressed it enough to a point where it was the size of a golf ball and fired it at the creature. The ball moved at superfast speeds, too fast for the naked eye, but not for chaos. In one swift movement the creature raised his hand and caught the ball between his fingers, just before the miniature sun hit his chest. Celestia could only stare and question the outcome of this battle. It was not looking up for her. The creature looked at her while smooshing the the ball making pop like a balloon. *Blink* The creature was in front of her. *Blink* She was flying towards the remaining castle wall, a shooting pain in her ribs. As she hit the wall a large unstable portion of the top of the wall came crashing down on her. She teleported back to the center of the room charging up her magic on the tip of her horn and fired several strings of lightning at him. All of them hit its back and slammed him through the wall and he fell down into the pit below. Celestia took the moment she had earned to breathe and calm her nerves. The silent castle doing wonders for her nerves. She had gotten a hit on it, all she had to do was keep using her wits and she may not lose this fight. The creature had only attacked once, but it moved faster than the eye could follow. She looked up to see the creature stepping on the edge of the floor next to the chasm, slowly stepping over the rubble from when it went through the wall and when she slammed into it. The creature continued to step forward, stopping around 26 feet from her. Celestia charged her magic ready for the creature to start attacking again. She was surprised to see the creature give her a menacing smirk, as he started laughing. It was a deep laugh that echoed pain and misery. It was cold, hollow and surprisingly not as evil as she would have thought. "My, this is such fun!" The creature said with evident glee in his voice. The baritone in its voice made it seem male. "Oh how rude of me I have not introduced myself, I am... ah... hmmm," he started while a strange and confused look came over his features. "I can't seem to remember my name, all I do remember is you, your sister and a few other hazy things. I have learned most things from the stone, these walls remember much joy and sadness that I can feel the memories in them, but all I can remember is chaos, so that shall be my name." "Hello my name is Chaos. What is yours?" "Princess Celestia, Co-Ruler of Equestria, Sovereign of The Sun. The woman you attacked was my sister Princess Luna, the other Co-Ruler of Equestria, Sovereign of The Moon."  Celestia lowered her guard as she stared at the male who who had a look of awe on his face. The male sat back and stretched his legs out. "So basically I attacked the leaders of a nation. So I bet the guards outside are yours?" Chaos asked Celestia. She nodded and sat cross legged on the cold stone floor, her armor scratching the floor. Celestia gave him an odd look. "Why have you stopped attacking me? Do you surrender?" Celestia asked with hope in her voice. Chaos raised his hand and tilted it from side to side. "Well, I know you now and that means I don't really want to hurt you. Now since you asked a question I get too. Why attack me outright? It was quite rude you know." Chaos asked her with a raised eyebrow. "There are a few reasons for us outright attacking you, one of those being that you look very similar to an enemy that was a huge threat to our county that we thought we had beaten. Then a huge beam of chaotic magic shot up from the old castle and we find you here. Then with the whole memories thing and the throne. We kind of had a just reason to attack you." Celestia said while slowly tracing a set of runes into the stone floor with her magic. Chaos eyed her oddly as he glanced behind her. Celestia looked back to see her sister with a portion of the royal guards and Shining Armor. Her sister didn’t look her best, as many bandages covered her, but she still held herself high. Celestia stood up and was about to go to her sister when, Luna ordered the guards to attack Chaos, while she led the attack. Celestia ran and hugged her sister while she looked at Chaos. He raised his hand and snapped her fingers. Celestia gasped and looked around to try to see what he did. Luna tapped her shoulder and pointed behind them. The guards had stopped not because they wanted to, but because they were turned into statues. Chaos had turned them to stone. An Avatar of Discord had turned ponies to stone. Celestia got a flashback of earlier that day... “Being turned to stone is really quite a bore you know Celestia. Oh wait you wouldn’t know because I don’t turn ponies to STONE.” Discord said with a twinge of anger in his voice while he lounged in the stained glass… “You turned ponies to stone…” Luna said while she looked at him in shock. Celestia and Luna then realized an important fact, this creature was no Discord, he had the same magic, but he was much, much, more dangerous. “So? They threatened me I have a right to defend myself so, I turned them to stone. But if you don’t attack me, then I have no reason to harm you. That is a simple fact.” Luna and Celestia looked at him in horror for a few moments before they heard a scream of terror. They looked back to see Twilight with Rainbow Dash running towards the petrified Shining Armor. While Twilight stays at Shining's side while Rainbow Dash charged at Chaos before being held back by Luna's magic. "What the hay! Princess let me pound this thing into pulp!" Rainbow yells at Luna, Luna gave her a stern glare, "Rainbow, those where some of our top guards, even you don't hold a candle to them, and it beat them in a second. You wouldn't last any longer," Luna continued to glare at Rainbow before she backed down and Rainbow walked back and sat next to Luna. Celestia gave a sigh of relief as she sat down and called her student over to her. "Now that we have calmed down, let's discuss this and make a deal," Celestia said before being interrupted by Twilight, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN MAKE A DEAL? IT IS A MONSTER AND IT TURNED SHINING TO STONE! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?” Twilight yelled at her teacher, all was silent for a moment as Celestia’s face was showing shock, before gaining a gaining a glare that could freeze fire. Celestia’s tone was ice cold, none of the warmness like that of a mother was there, only the tone of a leader of a nation, “Twilight,” was all Celestia needed to say before Twilight realized what she had said, her coat looked paler as she walked back to Celestia, and sat behind her teacher. Celestia turned her head to look at Chaos again, only to see his head tilted to the side, looking at them in curiosity. He raised his hand as Luna, Celestia and Rainbow tensed while Twilight was still unresponsive. As he snapped his fingers they heard a crack as Shining’s statue broke as he was freed. He slumped down unconscious. Following him the other guard statues broke as they were let out as well, but also unconscious. Celestia gave a raised eyebrow towards Chaos as he sighed. “Take it as a token of goodwill,” he said while he summoning and drinking a glass chocolate milk. “I just don’t want them listening in on our conversation.” “But will that you have lost your bargaining chip,” Luna commented as she was confused. Celestia was less confused, as she came to a realization. “You don’t want to fight, do you?” She said as Chaos gave a smirk and a nod, Rainbow jumped to her feet as she laughed, “HA! I knew it! He just relies on magic, I bet he is not even that strong!” Celestia and Luna both gave her blank looks as Chaos laughed. "Care to test this theory?" He asked while raising an eyebrow. Rainbow was about to run at Chaos before she was held back again by Luna as he magic made her sit back down. Twilight was looking at her brother as she came out of her comatose state and turned her head to glare at Chaos. Chaos lost the smirk on his face as it became a full smile his one long tooth sticking out. "Now let's talk about this deal, shall we?" > THS 3: The Deal That Changed Everything. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Human Side By: White Dragon ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 3: The Deal That Changed Everything. (Chaos’s P.O.V)         These ponies were… interesting. The rainbow one was flaming mad. The purple one was happy to see her… brother maybe? Or lover? Ehh.. not my problem at the moment.         “So what is the deal, you wish to make with me?” The ponies look towards me as Celestia and Luna start to converse with each other. Quickly growing bored I summon myself a gallon of chocolate milk to keep myself busy as I await the deal. Oh… hello there what are you? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Celestia’s P.O.V)         “So what should we ask for in this deal?” I ask as I turn to Luna.         “I say that we shouldn’t even think about making a deal with him.” Luna remarked as she looked at Chaos with a hateful glare.         “So you want a very powerful creature that has no problem with harming our subjects.” I say with an exaggerated roll of my eyes. Luna’s head turned toward the cold stone brick floor as she contemplated what to do. I myself had multiple ideas of what to do but I wanted to hear her counsel on the matter. It was a diarchy after all.  Both of us must make the correct choices that help the country and it’s citizens.         “What if we asked him to help us, in court?” Luna offered, my response was an incredulous expression. . “Please explain your logic, dear little sister of mine.” I asked her, to explain her asinine idea. “We both know that we are slowly losing ground and power in the courts, all of the nobles are slowly making more laws that we can handle. You don’t even get to chose your own Sun Guard, and they don’t even want me to have any power, I’ve been less and less informed of law meetings as well as council meetings. We need someone who won’t take any shit from the nobles but is also as powerful as us so they aren’t in danger from assassins. The only reason that we haven’t been taken down is that we are the only people that know how to move the celestial bodies. Well we have to come do a decision, he won’t just keep waiting for us to decide. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (3rd Person P.O.V) Celestia turns from her sister with a glare as they come to a choice. As she looks at Chaos her eyes get wide as she see’s what he is playing with. “Chaos where did you get that?” Celestia asked with a slight tinge of fear in her voice. Chaos held up the dark purple helmet in his hands. “Oh this?” He said as he held up the helmet, as Luna took a few steps back. “This has some serious dark magic in it,” Luna lowered her head a tad as she felt embarrassed. “That is the helmet of Nightmare Moon, an evil entity that took over my sister, when she lost herself to her anger.” Chaos laughed after the story behind the helmet. Celestia and the rest of the ponies in the room glared at him. Chaos stopped laughing, as he saw the glares confusion taking over his features. “You can’t sense it, can you?” Chaos ask with confusion no longer taking over his features. Celestia along with the rest looked at him confused. Sense what? Chaos sighed as he tossed the helmet into the air in the middle of the room and it started to slowly rotate as letters and runes started to peel off of the helmet showing a dark pink gem. “This gem requires a direct link to the powersource.” The ponies gave him a blank look as he tried to explain it. “The gem here required that Luna, or Nightmare Moon if you prefer, had to stay near to the power source, but when she was sent to the moon the connection was cut.” “So it’s not my sisters fault that she was evil?” Celestia asked with an underlying tone of hopefulness. All the ponies were listening closely as they sat on the cold stone floor or on  pieces of rubble. Chaos sighed as he snapped his fingers, making seven chairs or so rise from the ground.         “No.” The ponies looked confused.         “Why not?” asked the yellow one, he looked at her odd.         “You are The Element of Kindness, correct?” Twilight looked suspicious and Rainbow looked like she really wanted to attack him.         “Umm… yes.” She was so quiet it was almost cute.         “Good then this is directly related to you.” The yellow one was scared, with the others confused. “This is the Element of Hatred.”
