Prologue
Realty is a lie, the truth behind reality is madness. Truly when you look at reality from a wider angle, sense vanishes into chaos and entropy. Emotions are given physical form here. Cliffs of anger collapse into seas of sadness, Waves of joy splash upon beaches of lust. Swirls of multi-colored clouds clash and twirl into fractal shapes, their forms never staying the same for more than a moment.
Light and dark are but misnomers in the realm of chaos, good and evil more so, for true chaos cannot be labeled. For if it is, it is no longer chaos, and thus, must change.
Within this chaos live beings beyond the mortal ken, mortals have seen but fragments of these beings in nightmares, and given them names. Names like C'thulhu, Nyarlathotep, and N'zoth. But such beings, such things, cannot be named, for they are ever changing and immutable. But even beings of chaos have names that they call themselves, titles they bestow to others. This is not the tale of one of those beings, this is the tale of another.
Within a small pocket of this chaotic realm a being lived, it had no name, even amongst its own kind. It drifted slowly through the area of chaos it called its own, even if its borders changed and shifted with the whims of its neighbors, such is nature of chaos.
The chaos being opened it's innumerable eyes and gazed across it's home, and felt, boredom. Yes, a being of CHAOS was bored. Bored creatures sometimes do stupid things, such is the case with our intrepid chaos being. Flexing claws that shifted to pincers, that shifted to talons, the chaos being swirled it's clouds into a view of reality. As it looked upon the realm of the real, it felt a yearning. A yearning to explore and go unto this world. For chaos ever changes, and to go into reality would be the ultimate expression of change.
Thus it flexed it's limbs and tore a hole into reality, and with the wails of a thousand-thousand tortured souls following it, leaped into reality.
****************************Scene break*****************************
Twilight sparkle was re-reading her Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide when she heard something. Something that was both a sound, and yet not a sound. A sound the reverberated itself through both space and non-space, a sound that was both everywhere and nowhere at once. Curious, she looked out her window to see what it might be and her eyes widened as she saw something impossible.
In the sky there was a tear, a tear that showed spinning vortexes of color that swirled into fractal patterns made of many colors, some colors for which she had no name and hurt her eyes to look upon. As she watched a bright meteor fell from the tear plummeting to the earth. Her pupils shrunk as she realized the direction of the meteor, Canterlot.
Standing Twilight yelled. “SPIKE!!! Get down here NOW!!!”
With a clump, the dragonling ran down the stairs to stand in front of the newly minted princess.
“What do you need Twilight?!”
“Send a letter to the Princess immediately!”
“On it!” The dragonling quickly grabbed a quill and paper, then stood ready to receive Twilights message.
“Dear Princess Celestia, I have just noticed a strange tear in the sky, something, a meteor I think, fell from this tear. The meteor is headed straight towards Canterlot. I beg of you to be ready, and if you need me and my friends we will be there. Signed, Twilight Sparkle. Send it Spike.”
“Twilight Sparkle... Sending now!” Breathing in, the dragon then breathed fire upon the scroll, sending it upon its way to the Princess.
Moments after the scroll was sent, the Crystal Castle door burst open to reveal one poly-chromatic pegasus, Rainbow Dash. She was shortly followed by the rest of her friends including the draconequus, Discord.
“Twilight, did you see that hole thing in the sky?!” Asked Rainbow.
“Yes, I did. I sent a letter to the Princess. All we can do now is wait. Discord, d you know of anything that could do what happened.”
“No.” The draconequus said with a shake of his head. “But I will warn you, whatever came out of that hole was NOT a being of this realm.”
“Whoah whoa, Ya'll mean that thar thing was from anuther world?!”
“Another REALM, there is a difference dear Applejack.”
“Uhm, Twilight, do you think the princess will need our help?” Fluttershy asked.
“If she does, she'll let us know and I can teleport us to Canterlot.”
“I just hope nothing disastrous happens to those poor Canterlot ponies.”
“I'm sure they'll be fine darling.” Replied Rarity.
“Yeah, and if they need cheering up we can do that in a jiffy! Especially with my Party Cannon.” Interjected Pinkie Pie.
****Scene Break****
In Canterlot, Princess Celestia was currently enjoying a nice tea break when a wisp of smoke formed before her.
“Hmm, it seems Twilight has sent me a letter.”
Using her Magic the Princess read through the letter, her eyes widening as she finished. Turning her head she looked out the window just in time to see the meteor crash into the Canterlot Maze Garden. Spreading her wings she spoke with authority. “GUARDS! To me!!!!”
Surrounded by her guards she galloped out a side door towards the gardens, resolved to protect her subjects.
**** Scene Break***
The chaos being blinked, its many eyes taking in its surroundings. It saw a maze like garden before it. With but a thought it grew wings and leaped into the air. As it flew it saw an clearing with many statues, curious it landed its wings vanishing back into its body.
Moving closer the chaos being reached out a limb to touch it, but inches before it could a voice called out.
“HALT!!”
Turning the chaos being beheld Princess Celestia Surrounded by six guards.
“What manner of being are you, and how did you come to Equestria. Do you mean any harm?”
It stared at the princess for the moment, then opened its mouth and spoke in a voice that was a thousand voices at once each one clashing into the other forming a chaotic tone. “We mean no harm. We were bored, we wished to see the Real. We are Chaos. You may call us Legion, for we are many ad ever changing.”
At the word 'Chaos' the Princess settled into a protective stance, then went back to wary as she realized the creature meant no harm. “You truly wish only to discover what this world holds, to explore what you can?”
Legion shrugged it's form rippling into several different things, than settling. “Yes, we find the Real... confining, but we do not mind. We simply wish not to be bored, and our home was boring us. We are chaos, change is in our nature, we could not stop it as much as we could stop the wind from blowing.”
“Very well, I shall allow you to stay in Equestria, so long as you promise not to harm our subjects.”
“We swear upon our True Name.”
“Than if I may offer a suggestion, I may have a place that could serve you well to help acclimate you to Equestria.”
“We do not mind, please, tell us your suggestion.”
“There is a town to the southeast of here called Ponyville. My former student, Princess Twilight lives there along with her friends. If anypony can help you to acclimate to Equestria it is them.”
“Than we will go, we thank you for your kindness.”
“Do you mind if I send a letter to my former student explaining you coming?”
“We do not.”
“Thank you. Until we next meet, I wish you the best of luck in your exploration.”
The creature nodded, than shifted itself into a vaguely pegasus like form. The difference being its mane and tail never stayed the shame shape for more than a minute and constantly changed color. It's cutie-mark was that of a clockwise spiral in a fractal pattern that changed colors constantly, with sprouting swirls that spun in the opposite direction.
It spread its relatively normal wings and took off, heading to the southeast.
