Unforeseen Consequences - The chaos carnival (pt13)

>You couldn’t believe this… The beautiful spectacle that Discord created got destroyed in just a few moments leading to a horrendous purple nebula
>The ground itself also morphed into a bunch of random shapes, some were chess boards tiles, others were patches of blue grass and green ground, others were more…random, like trees made out of jelly and chocolate.
>Unlike what Discord had, this had no discernable patter, no rhyme or reason to anything, unlike the work of Discord, this wasn’t the work of a master in chaos or a genius artist this was clearly someone who didn’t know what was doing.
>”A-Anon… W-what’s going on?! I-I’m scared….” You hear Sweetie Belle’s voice tremble in fear and her pulling herself a little closer to you, shaking and sniffing.
>In fact, the three little fillies do the same, holding onto you like if their life depended on that as they witness their world fall apart and back into pieces again, each time changing into something different.
>”A-Ah can’t believe it! D-D-Discord got evil again!” Applebloom was shaking too, but she was the one of the three fillies who tried to hide her fear the most
>”I-I never trusted that guy!” Scootaloo meekly replies
>”A-Anon! P-Please… do something!” Sweetie Belle nuzzles on your chest, pleading desperately
>That…actually felt good, but lacked the fluffiness of Cherrywood, that gentle way that your little bat nuzzles into…Goddamn Anon! Focus! You have three girls who are incredibly scared and are looking to you for solutions.
>You briefly but gently stroke Sweetie Belle’s mane and cast a shield bubble around you and the three fillies.
“Don’t worry Miss Belle, it will take some serious damage to get past my shield, you can bet everything that I’m THAT good. And as what you girls said earlier…. I’m quite sure that this isn’t Discord doing…”
>”What?!” The three fillies exclaims in unison, taking a step back from you
>”Are ya crazy?!” Applebloom flails her front legs pointing at the now indescribable landscape “Nopony else can do this…thing other than Discord, if it’s not him then who?!”
> Scootaloo barks at you, giving you a glare that showed you her anger and fear ”Yeah! You might not be from around here but we’ve seen what that jerk can do, and this stinks of Discord’s chaos”
>”Girls please!” Sweetie Belle yells at her friends, steeping in between them and you, she then looks at the landscape and then at you “A-Anon…they are right… this is just like the last time that Discord tried to take over….b-but I-I want to trust you…it’s just that…H-how can you be so sure that Discord is not causing this?”
>You give Sweetie Belle a smile and gently stroke her mane
“Thanks for trusting me, Miss Belle…”
>Maybe that wasn’t a good idea…considering how hard she was blushing and giggling
“And I can explain my little hypothesis on the basis that one: Everything that Discord has made in this carnival has had a pattern, this is just... trash. Two: Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were with him at the Guard HQ that was filled to the brim with ponies from the Royal and Night guard, plus Aegia implied that my moms were on their way too, I doubt that he could have outmatched that kind of powerhouses”
>”A-Aegia?” Sweetie Belle tilts her head in confusion
>You nod
“Yes, she’s my bodyguard and commander of the secret service…”
>”Is that it?” Scootaloo yells “That’s all what you have to protect Discord?”
>You nod again
“Yes, of course my last reason it’s that he’s one of my closest friends and I trust Discord, I know how much this carnival meant to him, he wouldn’t just throw all that effort and care to the garbage, I’m sure of that”
>”Mon Petit!” Aegia finally arrives before any of the girls can object about your confidence in Discord “Why are you still here?! Move zat flank and go to ze barn!” Aegia lost any semblance of her emotionless self, she was looking…focused
“But what about you Aegia?”
>”I was hired as your bodyguard! I will stay behind you! Now, I trust zat you can maintain zat shield spell while you move!” Aegia then takes notices of the other three fillies “At least you didn’t forget to be a gentlecolt, now you better move and protect zose fillies or…”
>Aegia gives you a glare that made you forget for a moment about the disaster that was happening.
>You give Aegia a military salute and motion to the three fillies that it was time for all of you to stop fooling around
“Yes ma’am Aegia! I understand ma’am Aegia! Let’s go girls!”
>*KROOOM*
>A new earthquake shakes the earth before any of you can make the run into the Applejack’s barn. The gigantic snake-like figure cackles and burst through the purple nebula, engulfing itself on flames as it skydived to the ground.
>It was too quick for anyone to react in time. The shadow crashes into the ground engulfing everything into… flowers, blue flames that actually didn’t burn anything and purple trees…
>But in the center of it there was a shadowy figure engulfed in a sphere of rainbow colored flames, neon sparks came out of it
>And from the flames, you hear a creepingly familiar yet younger sounding voice that made the sky tremble ”Ah Ah Ah! Where do you think that you are going?”
>The sphere breaks in a big explosion revealing a….a….a….OH MAMMA!
>The shadow…the creature…the lady was of the same species as Discord, with the differences that she was so much younger…and she was SEXY
>But unlike Discord, everything in that face was so… delicate, everything from her muzzle to her ears were crafted with such finesse that it’s hard to put into words.
>Yes, those eyes had the same red pupils and yellow irises as Discord, but hers were so feminine and seductive that was borderline hypnotic.
>Her mane was short but it was enough to cover part of her right eye, it was of a white color with some exquisite brushes of silver, and unlike Discord’s horns, hers were pointy and straight.
>Her body was slim but quite attractive, again with much a more delicate and attractive shape than Discord…or most mares that you’ve ever seen. Her paw and talon were slicker, and the tail was thinner and much more softer looking than the one that Discord had.
>”Party is just starting and I’m planning to…huh?” The female draconequus looks at you…who were…surprised…yeah…just surprised that she was there.
>The lady draconequus slightly tilts her head and smiles as she slowly…and in a very sexy fashion…traces a small circle with her paw…
>And that was enough to made you go back into reality as your shield crashes and you were pulled towards her and gently but firmly held into her left arm.
>”Anon!” The three girls yell and tries to catch you but fail.
>”What do ya think yer doin’?” A lasso falls on the lady draconequus left arm and tightens its grip. It was Applejack, she finally arrived
>”I’m sorry mademoiselle, but you are not allowed to be zat close to ze Prince” As Applejack pulls harder, Aegia takes flight and prepares to attack…
>But the lady draconequus just smiles and chuckles “D’aawww so you wanna have fun too? So sorry…” The draconequus pulls back and makes the rope to snap, sending Applejack flying straight into Aegia… “But this is a very exclusive party! Only me and the dork are invited!”
>”Woah…” Applejack yells but she’s catch with masterful skill in mid-air by Aegia
>The female draconequus rolls her eyes and chuckles “Well, I’ll give ya that you know how to pull off some neat tricks, but unless you are the best player at cup ping pong, you two can stay with the rest of the losers! Ta-Ta!” The draconequus waves her paw’s fingers…claws?
>The two mares were readying for another attack, looking absolutely and completely angered. The lady draconequus though? She just gives them a wink and traces another circle…
>In a blink of an eye you were above Ponyville, resting on top of a bunch of purple and pink clouds. The lady draconequus was there too…and as hot…and sexy as she was, you had to get answers
“Alright! I have a bunch of questions for you! Who are you and why are you doing this?”
>”Oh man…” The lady draconequus stretches a little and yawns…in a sexy way “That whole thing about you becoming an adorable little prince has made you forget what fun, come on, relax and enjoy the show…you don’t want to make a lady to get bored, do you?” The lady winks at you
>And yes, you bush…and feel tingly things…but you shake your head and man up
“Don’t avoid my questions and-“
>”Blah, Blah, Blah…” The lady draconequus looks away and rolls her eyes in disgust, using her talon to imitate a mouth “Anon you are starting to sound like one of the administration guys…” The lady draconequus comes closer to you and gently puts her talon on your chin, giving you a really seductive look “What happened to the guy I met all those years ago? The guy who hated paper work and being enslaved to an office? You haven’t forgotten that, have you?”
>Wait…No…so your first assumption was correct…This draconequus didn’t just sound like her…she was…
“C-Catherine?”
>”Ding, ding, ding! Correcto-Mondo, amigo!” Catherine traces a circle making a bunch of gold colored confetti to fall onto you “Keep ya waiting, huh dork?”
>You focus and teleport right to where Catherine was and give her a big, warm hug
“CATHERINE! I was so worried about you! How have you been? WHERE have you been?!”
>Catherine though, was doing her best to break your bear hug ”Hnng.. Inside that horrible alien shack that Discord calls house…hnnng…get off me, you adorable nerd!” Finally, she teleports away from you, and takes a deep breathe
>”Sheesh, you are ruining my style…” Catherine regains her composure, dusting herself off “I get that you are kid and all that but you don’t have to be so lame, grow up will ya?”
“I-I can’t believe it! You are a draconequus? But how?! I thought that the transformation process that occurred when traveling from the human world could only result in…”
>”Getting the body of a boring pony? HAH! Oh please, and then what? You and that doofus of Discord will run around telling everyone something stupid like I’m your long lost sister or something? Nah” Catherine lies on the cloud; grabbing you with her tail and holding you to her eye level “This is soooo much more fun than just being a little horsey”
“But…I still don’t understand, I-I was under the impression that the transformation process was limited to just ponies, but if you got transformed into a draconequus then that must mean I was wrong and that there’s other way for-“
>“Oh shut up, dork!” Catherine rolls her eyes and closes your mouth with her paw with so much strength that it makes you yelp
>Using your magic, you take away her paw
“Catherine! This is important, we need to-“
>”Ugh! Stop calling me by that name! Now…” She traces a circle with her paw, making a stage to appear with a single seat in front of it. You are teleported to the seat, the world suddenly becomes dark
“What the-“
>Catherine’s voice echoes ”Now you little dork, prepare your butt because the show is just starting!”
“Show? This isn’t a show Catherine!”
>”Waaaaah! I’m Anon and I’m a little baby who can’t handle what fun is! Waaaaah!” You hear Catherine laugh “Shut up! And stop calling me by that name!”
>The curtain rises and the light of the reflectors light Catherine who was now wearing a top hat, a tie a microphone was standing on a tripod in front of her.
 “Catherine?“
>The entirety of Ponyville appears at Catherine’s back before you can say something…Catherine gives you a seductive look and then…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMykYSQaG_c
>Catherine begins singing, dancing from the center of the stage to the right
>”Chaos on the hearts of ponies”
>You get teleported to Ponyville, ponies were running in panic, screaming for their lives…
>”Chaos on the streets of Ponyville!” Catherine appears behind you
>”I wonder to myself”
>You see Catherine tracing a circle with her paw making a gigantic cake to appear on top of Ponyville crashing down and covering the entirety of the town in frost before disappearing again
>”Could life ever be sane again?”
>A raging river of milk catches you off-guard, trapping you in the stream.
>”The Leeds side-streets that you slip down”
>Before you start to panic about drowning, Catherine appears above you and takes you away from the lactose river that washed away everything in its way before poofing out of existence.
>”I wonder to myself”
>Catherine puts her talons on her chin, as if she was thinking of something. She then looks to the other side… Aegia, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were there, ready to fight
>”Hopes may rise and that’s bizarre”
>Catherine gives them a wink and puts you down on the ground
>”‘Cause Dorky colt, you're not safe here”
>You look to her and then to your friends…fuck it…
>”So you run down”
>You had to get to your friends…you need to get to them and then to Discord so you can fix this mess before your mothers come…
>”To the safety of the town”
>But before you can get to the mares, a river, this time made up of streamers washes them away, sending them crashing into a wall with enough force to leave them out of commission for a few moments.
>”But there's Chaos on the streets of Ponyville!”
>Catherine picks you up and cackles

>”Dublin, Dundee, Cranesbil”
>You glare at Catherine and urge her to stop, to which she just replies with a playful smile as she traces a circle with her paw.
>”I wonder to myself”
>The two of you get back to being on top of the cloud, looking at how Ponyville was being morphed into a complete parody of what it was before

>You look in shock at the “show” that Catherine was making, but it wouldn’t be for long as she picks you up and starts dancing with you
>”Put down your worries”
>”Give in to chaos”
>You yell at Catherine, but she doesn’t care, in fact she throws you up in the air.
 >”Because the name that you constantly say”
>When she catches you, she pulls you closer, giving you a menacing look
>”IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE”
>”Give in to chaos”
>”Because the name that you constantly say”

>Ponyville disappears from the background, in fact any light goes off leaving you in complete darkness.
>”On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down”
>”Provincial towns you jog 'round”
>Lights come on at full force, Catherine was at the center of the stage, and gigantic neon signs with the word “Eris” surrounded her
>”I love chaos, I breathe chaos, I am chaos!”
>Catherine begins dancing, or more like pumping her paw in the air as she waved a microphone as if it was a big lasso
>”I love chaos, I breathe chaos, I am chaos!”
>Ponyville comes back into view as Catherine continued dancing and singing, the fireworks started again, spelling “Eris” every time that one went off
>”I AM ERIS, I AM ERIS!”
>”I AM ERIS, I AM ERIS!”
>“I love chaos, I breathe chaos, I am chaos!”
>”I AM ERIS, I AM ERIS!”
>”I AM ERIS, I AM ERIS!”
>And the lights go off again, Ponyville disappearing from your view. After a brief moment, light comes on again.
>Catherine was standing in front of you, sitting in a really big armchair, looking at you with a smirk on her face.
“Eris?”
>”Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?” Catherine traces a circle, making everything go away, leaving just the purple cloud “That’s my new name, do you like it?”
“Sure, though I have to admit that I’m surprised, I have known you since high school and never ever thought that you were into astronomy”
>Catherine…Eris cocks an eyebrow at this and asks with disgust in her voice “Astronomy? What?”
“Yeah, after all Eris is the biggest dwarf planet that we have any record off… you know…it’s like 30 to 40% bigger than Pluto? To be fair, if you were going for that route, Xena could’ve worked too and that’s also a really cool name to have”
>”What?!” Cath…Eris barks back “How…Why….” She pinches her nose and groans “No you dork, I picked up Eris as in the ancient goddess of chaos Eris! Ugh! You have become a bigger dork than before”
“Huh…so… how did you come up with that name anyway? I never took you as someone who was into old legends and Greek mythology”
>”Hey!” Cathe…goddamn…Eris narrows her eyes at you, giving you a murderous glare “Are you implying that I’m just some schmuck who can’t read?”
>You shake your head and chuckle
“You know that I have never taken you for an idiot, after all you have always been quite clever, but seriously Catherine…”
>”Eris!” She corrects you
“Yeah, yeah, Eris…sheesh…The biggest book that I’ve seen you read since I know you, and we have been friends for a looooong time was that manual on electronics that the AOSR MADE you to read and memorize so you could get hired. And come on mate, I’ve been in your flat like a thousand times! Granted, 80 to 90% of those times I was rekt but I can clearly remember that you only had magazines and booze there”
>You rub the back of your neck, sigh and finally give your friend a cocky smile
“So, I’m not judging you or whatever but I’m sure that you took that name because you saw it in a magazine, liked the legend and then went with it, am I right?”
>Your friend crosses her arms and looks away, a slight blush were on her cheeks “N-No…” But she loses all composure and sighs “Yes…it was on a bottle of vodka actually…ugh, you really take the fun out of everything…”
“Hey, don’t get all mopey all of the sudden! I like the name, Eris has a nice ring to it. And come on! You always, ALWAYS! Wanted to get away from your life in security, just look at you now! You are smoking ho…I-I mean a very good looking lady, younger and with a lot of crazy power,  now the only thing left to do is for you to stop what’s going on in Ponyville and-“
>”No!” Eris yells back at you with so much force that it makes you flinch
“No? Why?! Cath…Eris! Please!
>”Because…” Eris hesitates for a moment before yelling again “Y-You wouldn’t understand!”
>You narrow your eyes and stomp a hoof on the ground…oh god, you could hear music being played, but from where?!
“Eris!  Why are you doing this? Can’t you see that you are putting everyone in danger?!”
>You did intend to say those words…but why so sing-songy? What is going on?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXzFOHrycHg
“I hope you're happy!”
>You take a step forward
“I hope you're happy now”
>Aaaaaah! Why are you singing!
”I hope you're happy how you would”
“Hurt your friend forever”
>You give Eris an angered glare before looking away from here
“I hope you think you're clever!”
>Eris flies in front of you, looking angry too!
>”I hope you're happy”
>”I hope you're happy, too”
>She takes a step forward, butting her head with yours
>”I hope you're proud how you”
>”Would grovel in submission”
>”To feed your own delusion”
>The two of you break your confrontation and sing at the same time
>”So though I can't imagine hoooooow”
>You two look away for a moment, before turning to each other, again singing in unison
>”I hope you're happy right now”
>You shake your head and finally, you can speak!
“Eris, listen to me. Just stop this mess…”
>And you go back to singing…fuck
“You don’t have to be this bitter”
>You give your friend a soft smile and walk to her
“Who you've worked and dreamed for”
“You just have to wait a little more…”
>Eris sighs and looks at you with some sadness in her eyes
 >”I know…”
“Eris…”
>”And I do want it…”
“…Please…”
>Eris closes her eyes and shakes her head, taking a couple of steps away from you
>”But …I can't wait”
“Don’t do it…”
>”Anymooooore”
>”Something has changed within me”
>”Something is not the same”
>”I'm through with playing by the rules”
>”Of someone else's game”
>”Too late for second-guessing”
>”Too late to go back to be a sheep”
>”It's time to trust my instincts”
>Your friend smiles at you, a big smile, a wondrous smile. One filled with hope and determination
>”Close my eyes and leap!”
>With a circular motion of her paw, revealing the entirety of Ponyville which was now a random mess of floating houses and gigantic pastries
>“It's time to try”
>”Defying gravity”
>”I think I'll try”
>”Defying gravity”
>Eris starts floating, hovering above you, she finally comes close to you and grabs you, pulling you closer to her face.
>”And you can't pull me down!”
>You can’t help but feel your heart break a little, you choke up a little but nonetheless plead to Eris…singing
“Can't I make you understand?”
“That you are about to ruin this land?”
>Eris shakes her head looking to the horizon with hope in her eyes
>”I'm through accepting limits”
>”'cause someone says they're so”
>Eris turns to you, a grin was on her face, again, she traces a circle…this time teleporting the two of you just above of Ponyville
>”There’s nothing I cannot change”
>”With this power, I just know!”
>”I will no longer be afraid of”
>”Being a loser and always lost”
>”And going back”
>”It’s too high of a cost!”
“That’s not true!”
>”I'd sooner buy”
“Eris…”
>”Defying gravity”
“….Please…”
>”Kiss me goodbye”
“…Stop this…”
>”I'm defying gravity”
>”And you can't pull me down!”
>”Hey dork, come with me. Think of what we could
do, together.”
“What? But why?”
>Eris comes closer to you and gently holds your face by the chin, giving you a soft smile… you couldn’t help to blush
>”Unlimited…”
>”Together we're unlimited”
>”Together we'll be the greatest team”
>”There's ever been”
>You see a small caricature of you and Eris woring together…you studying the mysteries of the world…And her making all of your research possible
>”Anon… dreams, the way we planned 'em”
>The caricature morphs to you receiving a prize…yeah…you always dreamed with some sort of major recognition other than being mentioned by your peers…something to give your name renown…
“If we work in tandem!”
>And she can make it possible…
>Eris rises to the sky, firmly holding you in a tight hug…you feel some exaltation at this prospect so much in fact that you can’t help but to…fuck it…SING WITH YOUR FRIEND!
>”There's no fight we cannot win”
>”Just you and I”
>”Defying gravity”
>”With you and I”
“Defying gravity”
>Eris looks at you with fire in her eyes, you look back at her with a cocky grin
>”They'll never bring us down!”
>You hear your friend giggle before she lightly taps your muzzle
>”Well… Are you coming, little dork?”
>You give your friend a wink but before you could tell her your answer…
>You look back at Ponyville…
>Jesus Christ, shit is getting out of hand, you see ponies trying to fight back whatever random traps Eris is creating, but more and more just appear to replace the others
>No…this…this wasn’t right…something inside you…something very deep inside you… told you that this wasn’t right…
>You close your eyes and lower your head…
“I hope you're happy”
“But I won’t allow this”
>You look up to your friend…yeah…she might be a draconequus now, but you knew when she was actually sad about something…and this certainly showed that
>”You too…”
>”But you won’t stop this”
>No, NO! You can’t lose your friend like this! You have to make her see how hard she’s throwing away this new life of hers!
>”I don’t think you get it!”
>”How much you’ll regret it”
>Eris shakes her head, teleporting the both of you to Ponyville. She drops you on the ground and turns away from you, looking up at the purple cloud
>”I hope you're happy in the end…”
>”I hope you're happy… my friend…”
>”But you won’t stop me!”
>”Look to the upper sky!”
>"As someone told me lately…”
>A portrait of Discord appears above Eris…and it actually speaks…well, sings…
>"Chaos can even make pigs fly!"
>Burning up immediately after it said those words…
>”And if I'm flying solo”
>”At least I'm flying free”
>”To those who'd ground me”
>”Take a message back from me”
>”Tell him how I am”
>”Defying gravity”
>”I'm flying high”
>”Defying gravity”
>”And soon I'll match him in renown!”
>”And nobody in this mess”
>”Not even Discord with all his wax”
>”Is ever gonna bring me down!”
>But retribution came for your friend much, much sooner than what she expected…as soon as she finished her song…
>*Krakoooooom*
>And explosion shakes up the very foundation of the earth making even the sky tremble. You see your friend fall to the ground and contorting like if she was in serious pain
“Catherine! What’s wrong!”
>”It’s…Eris…you…dolt…HNNNNG!” Eris flinches in pain once more, pounding the ground and looking at you with fear and desperation “W-What….it’s…h-h-happening!”
>You…you were speechless…You didn’t know what to do…
>*Krakooooom*
>The tremor comes again, this time way more violently….
>”AAAAAAAAAH!” Eris screams in pain, making you even more scared…confused…and frustrated at your inability and incompetence at helping your friend….
>And then it finally happens….
>*Krakoooom*
>With one final quake the purple cloud that was covering Ponyville gets dispelled in one quick motion, letting way to the brightest sky that you have ever seen…
>In fact…you weren’t sure that was the sky…or the sun…the golden light was so bright…so intense… that you had to shield your eyes from it, but not before running to where your friend was…you still HAD to help her…
>The intense light finally subsides a little, letting you look up again at the sky and see…oh no…oh no…why did you act so stupidly?! How did you forget about them?! Of course they would come here after getting the news!”
>Despite being up in the sky, you could clearly see the figures of your mothers…well, the gigantic bright white aureole surrounded by the night sky that was around them kinda gave them away…
>To make things worse, there were joined by what seemed to be hundreds if not thousands of ponies from the Guard
>”Who…are…they?” Eris asks while standing up and shaking her head
“Those… those are my mothers…Catherine…Eris…Stop this! I’m sure that if you do that and apologize then they will forgive you, and you can bet anything that I will do my best to ensure that happens!”
>Your friends glares at you, then at the gigantic aureole in the sky…and grins “Nobody is gonna bring me down, remember?” Eris stretches a little, finally shrugging off the pain that she felt before “I’m sorry dork, but I think that I will need to have a little chat with your mommies!”
“Eris, don’t be stupid! You can’t-“
>But she doesn’t listen to you, she takes off as soon as you try to stop her, flying at an incredibly light speed towards where your mothers were…
>You really couldn’t tell much about what happened…only that a shining light came off from the aureole making a direct hit to Eris and sending her crashing down to earth…luckily not far from you…
>You make the run to your friend…a fairly crater was left from her fall, but she was there…
“No…”
>You slide down the crater and desperately shake your friend, hoping that she was just unconscious
“Catherine! Catherine! Please…No…Don’t do this to me Catherine!”
>”Hnnnnng….” Oh thank god, she was still alive…Catherine slowly opens her eyes and turns her head to you “How…many times…do I have to tell you…my name…”
>You growl and stomp your hoof on the ground
“THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW, YOU IMBECILE! YOU ALMOST GOT KILLED!”
>Your angered reaction does surprise Eris, who just gets up and gives you a stoic glance, not saying a word…
“What is important right now is to take you away from here, you stupid idiot! You are hurt Catherine! And you are not match from my mothers!”
>”Oh yeah?” Catherine snickers “Just because I was taken by surprise doesn’t mean that-“
“WILL YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN FOR ONCE! JUST…grrr…just take us out of here Catherine, or I swear for everything that is good, that I won’t be bothered with talking to, or caring about you anymore!”
>Catherine gives you a nasty glare that was borderline on murderous, but you don’t step back, you had enough of her shit already, and you saw that your mothers were closing in
“NOW, CATHERINE!”
>Finally, she gives in with a groan and a huff “Fine…Fine…whatever, fighting them was lame…” Catherine pulls you closer to her and gives you one last glare before teleporting the two of you away “But I swear Anon, if you call me by that name again then I’ll transform you into a chair or something…”
>The two of you appear inside of…no…nononononononono NO!
“Cath…Eris what the hell, mate?! Why did you bring us to Twilight’s castle instead of I don’t know…Everywhere else?! We have to keep you hidden until I can figure out something!”
>Eris hovers above you and sighs “I…I don’t know dude…I still haven’t figured out how these crazy magic thingy works…I just thought of a place to go, saw the ugly tree-building-thing in the distance and…well.. here we are…”
“What?! What do you mean with you still haven’t figured out how your magic works?! What about your little song! What about the mess that you caused in Ponyville?!”
>Eris shrugs and sits on Twilight’s throne, placing her paw and talon behind her head “Beats me… I just know that I have to do this little thingy with my paw…” she makes a circular motion with her paw, making a small can of soda to appear. Eris opens it and takes a sip “Ahhhhh…refreshing! Anyways, I do that and whatever I’m thinking, no matter how crazy, becomes true”
>You sit in another throne and rub your temples, trying to come up with a plan
>”Oh, knock it off dude!” Eris throws the soda can at you, managing to land a perfect hit on your perfectly sized head
“ARGH! What was that for?! Can’t you see that I’m trying to think on how we are going to get out of this?!”
>Eris rolls her eyes and summons another can of soda “But we have already escaped from those crazy horses! I say that we relax and see how hard they are freaking out about my beautiful show of chaos…not as beautiful as me of course…”
>You were ready to snap again at her, buuuut…
“You know, that might not be that bad of an idea. Our main objective right now is to come up with a plan to approach my mothers. Originally, I was just going to talk to them, but after you went stupid and tried to attack them, I’m not sure about what they might be thinking right now…hmmmm…Eris, could you summon something that allows us to see what my moms are doing right now?”
>”Oh man…even your explanations are super nerdy…whatever, yes I think I can…lemme just…” Eris makes a circular motion with her paw…summoning a small and old looking monitor along with a little speaker “There…”
>You look at that ancient piece of shit, then to Eris
“What the hell…is that?”
>”What do you mean? It’s a fricking monitor! Like the ones we used for the surveillance cameras back at our crappy old world! You know, exactly like the ones that you used to hijack so we could watch football?!”
“Whatever…does it at least works?”
>”Yeah….juuust let me start it!” Eris grins and hits the monitor with her paw making it come to life “Hah Hah! Just look the crap that we had back there!”
>You roll your eyes and look at the tiny screen…goddamn…Eris took it to herself. You walk towards her and forcefully make yourself a little space on Twilight’s throne so you could watch what was going on with your mothers
>And what you see… wasn’t encouraging…not a single bit… ”Oh…crap…” the two of you exclaim at the same time
>Gathered around the town hall of Ponyville where what you assumed were hundreds of Guards, all of them looking for something.
>Your mothers were at the town hall too, directing everything. By their side you saw Rarity, Applejack, RD, Fluttershy, that pink weirdo…and oddly enough… Twilight wasn’t there
>Luna was barking orders at every guard that she encountered, marching back and forth, her face showed how much anguish and anxiety she was feeling about you being kidnapped…again…in the same day

>”Look for my son”
>”Comb the town, every street, every grate”
>”You put a guard at every gate”
>”Search him out, shout the moment that you find him!”
>Groups of guards comes to her, all with negative results about your whereabouts, making Luna to growl and stomp her hooves on the ground
Dang!
>Luna looks up, seeing only dumbfounded guards. She glares at them and barks new orders, making them fly to every part of the town
>”Knock in the doors, lock up the city”
>”Track him down through this town”
>”And be quick about it...now!”
>Once most guards were gone, Luna puts her hooves on her face and falls to the ground
>”How in Equestria can I ever prevail when I'm only a mare?”
>”But I won’t be duped by this scurrilous monster I swear…”

>Celestia walks to her sister and gently places her hoof on her sister’s withers. Celestia lowers her head and whispers into Luna’s ears
>”We weren’t born to walk on water”
>”We weren’t born to doubt and falter”
>Celestia offers her hoof to Luna, helping her to get up
>”And on our soul, we weren’t born”
>”To stoop, to scorn, and buckle under!”
>You notice…You notice that Celestia was hella angry, that she was also feeling anxiety, but she was doing her best to conceal that, instead she walks past her sister and looks up to the sky
>”A mare can learn to steal some thunder”
>”A mare can learn to work some wonder”
>”But when the guantlet's down…”
>Your mother’s wings extend as Celestia starts to fly, her horn began to glow making her mane and tail to ignite into pure fire
>”It's time to rise and climb the sky!”

>Luna smiles at this, cleaning any tear that was on her face. She takes off too, horn glowing and eyes on fire. Celestia offers her sister a little smirk as both sing
>”And the monster will smoulder”
>”And the stars will shine”
>”Yes, chaos grow stronger but our love will thrive!”
>”All those tremulous clouds still glitter”
>”But we’ll bring him back!”
>”Let our hope grow stronger and as warmer as a phoenix in the rise!”
>Using your magic you turn off the monitor…and you also start to hyper-ventilate
“Okay…Okay….Okay… this is bad…No, this in a new league of bad…Oh god… what are we going to do?! I-I-I have never seen my moms like this! A-And GAH! I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! ERIS WHAT ARE WE GOING TO-!”
>But the answer that you get was a slap to the face “Oh shut up, you big dork!” Eris yells at you, annoyed by your worries “Just relaaaaaax! They don’t know that we are here…actually, I’m surprised considering that you said this is a castle and all…” she giggles “But, oh well, what are we going to do about it!”
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM WHEN-“
>And another slap to the face “When I say shut up then you MUST shut up, understand?!” Eris voice became a little darker there, and the look that she was giving you wasn’t encouraging either “As I said, just relax, do I have to spell it out for you? R-E-L-E-X
>”Hmmmm, I don’t think that’s how you are supposed to spell it” Eris shrugh “But eh, who cares? I can change that with my magic!” Eris makes you float, pulling you closer to her…
>And she gently scratches you under your chin…man….that felt…sooooo…good
“Maybe…you’re right…I mean…wait…what am I saying? This is still bad!”
>You slap Eris’s talon of heavenly pleasure away from you, looking her dead in the eye
“This got out of control! We have to come up with something…I have to come up with something…they are pissed…and Discord and Twilight are nowhere to be seen…and I have no way to make contact with them, the radio is at Applebloom’s clubhouse…and I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!”
>Eris rests her head on her paw and rolls her eyes “You really became a little neurotic…whatever, I want to see how that song ends because it was completely balls to the wall awesome!”
>With a gently motion, the monitor comes back to life, showing your mothers flying to… Twilight’s castle! NO!
>Both were singing together, and behind them, you could see the elements of harmony sans Twilight aboard of chariots with Aegia and Moonlight flying by their side.
>”Piercing into the sky and higher!”
>”And our love will thrive!”
>”Yes, the foe will cower, shocked with surprise!”
>”And our son is closer!”
>”We shall bring him back!”
>”Then with claws of fire, we’ll devour her like a phoenix in the rise”
>The monitor goes away, you look up to your friend…and she was angry
“E-Eris…calm down… don’t do anything stupid…”
>But your friend didn’t listen, she pushed you off the throne and started hovering “Oh, so they think that I will cower, huh? They think that I will go down that easily, huh?! Well…” Eris turns to you, giving you an evil looking grin “I hope that you enjoy being the son of a couple of mailboxes, because those two are in for a ride!”
>You get up and teleport to your friend, but she instead catches you and grabs you tightly
>”Ooooh, Anon! You don’t have to be so caring, you know how much I hate men who are clingy, but don’t worry, after I deal with our problems, then we will have all the fun in the world, tee-hee!”
“Eris, you can’t-“
>And she didn’t listen again, teleporting the two of you outside the castle where you could saw your mothers and the elements of harmony landing, ready to fight.
>The first one to step forward was Luna, her eyes were white and her mane and tail were completely dark and flowing upwards ”Monster! Hear my command! Release our son at once, and your punishment shall be quick and without pain!”
>Eris just yawns and stretches her body “Ooooh, the little dork? Well…” She giggles before giving your mothers a challenging look “If you want him so much, then come and get him”
>Celestia steps forward, her mane and tail were flowing flames that spurred out of her “With pleasure…”
>Not saying any other word, Celestia fires a beam at Eris, making a direct hit that sends her crashing into one of the castle walls, knocking her out of cold
“Eris! No!”
>You run to where your friend lied, but before you could take more than two steps, you are gabbed by RD
>”I got ya squirt, don’t worry!” You are taken to where the rest of the elements with such speed that you couldn’t teleport away in time “No need to thank me! Just another work from your friendly neighbor Rainbow Dash!” RD puts you down, nodding to herself with a proud smile
>That Pinkie weirdo chimes in, with her annoying, high-pitched voice ”But seriously, getting foalnapped twice in the same day?! That’s like, the worst luck ever! It’s a worse luck than missing out a friend’s birthday party! Or bringing red streamers to a get-along-party! Everypony knows how bad that is and…”
>You start hyper-ventilating again as you see your mothers marching to where Eris was. Her horns were glowing, ready to make the final blow.
“No,no,nononononononono!”
>”Anon, please, don’t be scared, you are away from that awful, awful monster. It can’t hurt you anymore” Fluttershy gently places her hooves on your shoulder
“That’s not a monster! That’s my best friend!”
>”What?!” The elements of harmony, Aegia and Moonlight exclaim with shocked surprise at the same time
>And then, just before your moms could blast your friend forever… time stops…oh thank you god…oh thank you
“Discord!”
>You turn around, your draconequus friend was looking at you, arms crossed, and an unnaturally stoic glare for him ”Yes, that’s me and I have to say Anon, I’m severely disappointed in your attitude…”
“W-what? What do you mean?”
>Discord rolls his eyes as he teleports you from RD’s embrace to being floating at his eye level
>”What do I mean? Anon, Anon, just look at what you were about to do…” Discord points with his talon to your unconscious friend
“Yes! I was about to save my friend! Please Discord, you’ve got to help her!”
>”You were going to ruin your life, you mean…”
“What?”
>Discord rolls his eyes and snaps his fingers, making a little version of you to appear in between you and him “Use that brain of yours and think, Anon…You go and risk your life for your friend…”
>The little you teleports and appears in between a little version of Eris and your mothers
>”But then what?” The little version of your mothers look at the little you with confusion “Those two will wonder why you helped her despite foalnapping you and bathing Ponyville with second class chaos…”
>The little Celestia steps forward, looking angered at the little you “I know the Princesses…I know Celestia, and you can bet anything that she will get suspicious, and when that happens…” The little version of your mothers turns away from the lil’ you, and poofs away
>“They will start digging deeper about who you really are…where you really came from…” Discord gives you a creeping evil grin “And you can be sure that while I will face some minor annoyances from them, you on the other hand…” A cell appears around the little version of you, who was now crying and pleading and yelling for forgiveness “Won’t have such luck, after all, why would the princesses love the pony who destroyed their biggest dream?”
“I-I…”
>You were speechless… you…you didn’t think about that…you didn’t think that saving your friend could jeopardize this new chance at life that you had, now a new question was in your head, one that eclipsed everything else
>”Was saving Catherine really worth it? Would you throw away your life just for this person?”
>You look to Discord, his evil grin and red eyes were piercing into your sould ”Now, you have two choices, one is of course going there like the brave prince, clad in his shining armor and throw everything that you’ve worked for into the garbage, or…”
>Discord poofs away the little you “You ignore this and everything goes back to normal, of course, your friend won’t have a pleasant trip to Tartarus but, oh well…” Discord shrugs and chuckles “Not everypony can be winner, am I right?”
>You look to your mothers, and then to Eris…Could you really do it? Why wouldn’t you do it? She ignored every piece of advice that you gave her, she clearly doesn’t respect you anymore, she was a menace to everyone in Equestria.
>”Tick tock, Anon, I don’t have all day….” Discord says with a serious tone
>She endangered the lives of everyone in the carnival, and by saving her, you would throw yourself into the bonfire and give your mothers more suffering than they could ever hope for
>…this was the right decision…let her go away…
>You look at Discord but lower your head in shame for what you were about to do…and then you see it…your cutie mark
>Harmony…You remember what you told Starlight…that the elements weren’t the absolute definition of harmony, and yet…here you are, delivering a judgment just like the elements themselves would…
>And then you look at your mothers…yes, they were going to act like the elements…they were wrong…and yet…what would they do in your place?
>Would they let Eris rot away? No…They didn’t do it with the ponies that caused Luna’s downfall…they always forgive….
>Adrenaline was pumping down your veins…your heart was beating faster than it ever has…but…you had to do this…even if it means your damnation
>You feel some tears run down your cheeks as you look Discord right in the eyes…
“D-Discord….please….save my friend… save Catherine…”
>”Oh, for Pete’s sake!” Discord slaps his face, looking at you with some disdain “Really? After everything I’ve told you? REALLY?!”
>You nod, tears were still flowing, but you were determined with this
“Yes, Discord please, I don’t care what happens to me, just save-“
>”Yeah, Yeah, save your friend, of course I can do that!” Discord interrupts you, pinching his nose “Just don’t give me that sugary, harmony speech about self-sacrifice and all that, Oh well…”
“What…are you talking about?
>Discord shrugs as he starts hovering towards where Eris was “I suppose that I couldn’t get my dear sonny in chaos, but at least I got me a cute daughter” with a snap of his fingers, some of the cake that Eris used against Ponyville appears in front of Discord, who doesn’t hesitate to eat it all with one quick motion
>”Oh my, this is horrible!” Discord cringes and spits the cake “This little brat might have the power, but she lacks the experience! I can’t believe that she would use cheap ingredient for this cake, doesn’t she know that no matter what you do, chaos always, ALWAYS has to have the highest quality?!” Discord takes a deep breathe “There’s much that I will have to teach this little draconequus… I’m starting to feel bad that you didn’t go with chaos, Anon”
>Wait a fucking minute…
“Everything you said was a lie?! DISCORD!”
>Discord picks up Eris and turns to you, waving his paw dismissively “Pffft! Oh please, do you really think that I couldn’t come up with something to fix the disaster that you just made?”  He snaps his talons, teleporting in front of you with that fucking toothy grin of his “I just wanted to give you that liiiiitle push so you could go to the chaos side, you know? The FUN SIDE! But nooooooooo”
>You feel your blood boil, your right twitch, and you were ready to make the jump to kill the fucking asshole…or you would do that if you weren’t being pulled close to him and floating like two meters above the ground.
>Discord rolls his eyes and looks at your mothers with disdain “You just had to act like your mothers…I mean, the Princesses and being all” Discord’s voice transforms to a very girly voice, making a mocking cute face “”ooooooh! Look at me! I want to be the little valiant prince of harmony, ooooooh!” Feh, I hope that this other brat doesn’t disappoint me as much as you have”
>You feel confusion, doubt, frustration but more than anything…
“DISCORD YOU ARE A REAL SON OF A BITCH, YOU KNEW THAT?! How dare you to play this kind of sick games?! We are not your damn puppets to control! Did you put Cathy through all of this just so you could make me act like you?! Well, guess what-“
>”Oh, shut up!” Discord interrupts you with an annoyed tone “I didn’t cause any of this...well I did have planned to release this little brat later on, like tomorrow, you know…so I could have a bombastic ending for my little event…”
“You! -”
>Discord strokes his white beard “But alas, I guess that I underestimated her actual power…” Discord closes his eyes and shrugs “I suppose that even somepony as perfect as myself can make that kind of mistakes every now and then…”
“So everything was a lie then…everything that you said….our friendship was a lie…”
>Once again, Discord rolls his eyes “Could you stop being such a drama queen? Honestly, if I wanted that kind of garbage, I would go to have some fun with that changeling Queen or…Twilight Sparkle…” Discord pats your head and gives you a wink “As I said, I wanted to see if I could give you that little push…that little something to bring you to true greatness, but…”
>Discord adopts a more serious expression on his face “I guess that I was wrong there too…Now, listen, I won’t say this ever again but I have learned something today and that is…” With a big sigh and a growl, Discord mutters something that was barely audible “You really are your mothers’ son… and that’s actually admirable… congratulations…my…friend”
>You rub your temples, trying to calm yourself…okaaaaay Anon…calm down….you need answers from this asshole
“Okay Discord…Okay… So, you are going to help Cath…Eris…right?”
>Discord nods “Anon, I already did, and yes, you won’t have to worry about your mothers finding out, I already had that part planned, you’ll just have to play along…for your friend’s sake…”
“And what about the rest of the ponies? Does your lies cover the damages that Eris done to Ponyville? Because I’m not sure how you are going to pull that off.
>You take a sigh…you can’t believe what you were going to say next
“And I’m also worried about the fate of your carnival, I have to give it to you Discord, what you did there was something beyond beautiful, I would hate if everyone goes away and just remembers what Eris has done and…ugh… I’m also worried about you…How are you going to convince everyone that you are not that old monster that my mothers and the elements turned into stone? As much of how I hate you right now… You are my friend goddamn, and I know that there’s goodness inside that heart of yours…”
>”Hearts as in plural, I have many hearts Anon, as for your questions…” Discord strokes his white beard “I do know how to savage this little event, and even how to save my reputation so ponies can stop harassing my dear Fluttershy about the fact that she’s my friend, but about the brat…”
>Discord shrugs “I have that covered too, but her reputation? I think that she will have to work on her own for that…” Discord smiles at you…a genuine smile “Does that put your mind at ease? I kinda want to get over with this so I can go back and make that Startlight pony and of course Twilight Sparkle lives a living Tartarus for as long as I can…”
>So that’s where Twilight was…with Starlight…that actually made you worried for a number of reasons, but nonetheless, you nod
“Yeah, and thank you Discord… I guess…”
>”Oh don’t be like that, my pint sized friend!” Discord pinches your cheek “Cheer on! It will be all laughs and fun from here on out!”
>You look at your unconscious friend…life will surely change with her around, if it will be for the better or for the worse, that’s something that only the future will tell, but right now? You just wanted to get over with this….
>Man, the thought of going back to the little farm that Applejack had felt like a beautiful dream, you just wanted to relax right now
“Very well…my friend… I trust you, now let’s go and finish this…”
>Discord nod and snaps his fingers making time go back to its normal flow.
