Unforeseen Consequences - Back in the factory

>Geez, dude! This place was even worse than what I thought! Like, no kidding! There ain’t any hot dudes here! Just a buncha losers! And why are we in this lame alleyway?! We should be out there having all kinds of fun!
>Gosh darn it! I was starting to enjoy my time without your stupid comments! Oh, well! Guess it was too good to last… at least you weren’t entirely wrong this time.
>I know, right?! An Equestria without any cuties ain’t Equestria!
>I wasn’t talking about that, you stupid bimbo! I was talking about how depressing everything is when you get down from the top dog’s office.
>Depressing? Depressiiiing…. I dunno what that means, dude.
>Y’know, depressing! Like, look around you! There’s nothing but a thick layer of smog covering the “sky”, like there’s no way to actually see the fake sun and moon that I saw before!

>Is that it? ‘Cuz you make it sound like any other cloudy day.
>You’re stupid, I get it and it was my mistake for not remembering that. Lemme explain you more but I need you to actually pay attention for once!
>I can’t promise anything dude, but I’ll try.
>Right, so, that thick layer of smog? Is not that you can’t see the ceiling of the factory, is that it gives this dark filter of gray and green to everything, and is not like you at least have some cool hills and a super cool weather.
>I don´t?
>NO! Can’t you feel how hot is down here? Is like a boiling room! Which… it ain’t too far from the real deal now that I think about that, seriously, there are a lot of furnaces around here… Guess they need all of that power to fuel the massive machines that are everywhere.
>But…
>Shut up and lemme finish!
>Okay, geez!

>Cool! So, this is place is kinda like Ponyville. Only that instead of houses, restaurants, boutiques and that, you had machines and furnaces everywhere, the streets were narrower and they are chock-full with ponies, griffons, diamond dogs and even dragons going back and forth while working endlessly.
>But you know what’s worse? The fact that everypony had this defeated look on their faces. Like, they had already given up on all hope and were just going through the motions. Even the foals were like that, none of them smiled or played around, they just… y’know… worked and that’s it.
>Yeah! They couldn’t be more dead-inside ‘cuz they weren’t zombies!
>How many times do I have to tell you to shut up before I actually hit… hold up… oh, my gosh! you’re totally right this time!
>Yay! I’m right! Did you see that, Eris?! I’m… wait, why am I right?
>Did you forget what the dork told us? Accord ain’t planning to expand ‘cuz he wants a bigger company, he wants to do it ‘cuz his world is already dead! Everypony looks like they got their life sucked outta them!

>Soooo~! That means is time to get violent?
>Not yet, first we gotta get Luna and Celestia in our side, use some chaos to bring some life back into these poor suckers, and then… then we punch Accord so hard that his face will come outta his butt!
>Didn’t we already say that like, twenty minutes ago? ‘Cuz I swear we did!
>Yep! Is just that Starlight decided to get stupid on me and started rambling about stupid stuff that I don’t care about.
>Oh, right! Totally forgot that the pink duddette was yelling at us! Wonder if she’s finished with that.
>Dunno, maybe we should check if she’s over her little temper tantrum.
>“Okay, Eris, I’m okay with breaking into the factory with no plan whatsoever. I’m okay with getting captured and forced to watch some propagandistic movie. Heck, I even liked being invisible and floating around! But you know what? This plans of yours was the last straw! I’m not going to follow you this time through!”
>Seems like we barged at the wrong time. Hey, wanna talk about something else? Like, I dunno, why you got so peeved about the dork back there?

>Nope, this is the perfect moment to actually pay attention to Starlight, and besides, everything about me and the dork and his inability to realize he has self-confidence problems ain’t of your concern.
>But… I’m still you, dude.
>Yes, but you’re the crazy side that is fun but I mostly want to kick. That stuff is for me, the sane side. Now, shut up and lemme do the talking.
“Awww! Come on, Motley! Why are you being so grumpy? That will totally make your look like an old raisin, y’know?”
>Dude! What if, that crazy cultist lady looked like that because she’s angry all the time?! MIND BLOWN!
>Yeah, mind blown by stupidity! Hope or whatever was her name, looked like a crushed paper bag ‘cuz she’s super old! Like, seriously, Celestia said something about knowing the jerk for centuries.
>Did she say that? I wasn’t paying attention.
>of course you weren’t! Ugh… shut up and lemme hear what Starlight gotta say.

>“Because dressing up as a rodeo clown to distract Accord is the stupidest thing I’ve heard this month! I’m not kidding, Eris! That’s as stupid as Party Flavor’s idea of using confetti to build the town’s plaza.”
>Dude, can she like, shoot down the super awesome plan just like that?
>Not really. I can just spin my cute talon and make her do whatever I want, which sounds awesome, but trust me, that ain’t gonna get us anywhere. So what I’ll do is taunt her a little to see if she has a better idea.
>A pony having a better plan than us? HAH! What a great joke am I right?!
>You stupid idiot! The dork is a pony, remember? And he always outplay us when it comes to thinking. So let’s give Starlight the chance.
“Pffft! You’re talking as if you could come up with something better, but guess what? You can’t! Wanna know why? ‘Cuz you’re just a pony! And ponies don’t know a thing on how to trick others like a spirit of chaos can!”

>See? Now Starlight is totally salty, she want to prove us wrong and you can bet that cute butt we have that she will do it the best way she can.
>“Oh, you’re right! How could I be so stupid to think otherwise?! Is not like I used the same ideals as Accord to take over an entire town and control everypony living in it… oh, wait, I actually did all of that, right? I even spent time in prison because of it, right? So don’t patronize me, Eris! You may be pure chaos, but nopony can lie and manipulate like me! Except for Chrysalis… Whatever, you take care of the Princesses and I will take care of Accord”
>Holy-molly! Did you see that, dude?! Is like, she transformed into another pony or something! Like, she turned on her evil mode!
>Well, she WAS evil. Remember the show dude, Starlight pulled some time-travel spell outta her butt and caused a total trash fire ‘cuz she wanted revenge on Twilight.
>I did remember that! I ain’t that dumb! But… I thought she became super good and super boring in like, the last five minutes of the finale. Seriously, they even had this cheesy montage about friendship and all that.

>Mhm! But nothing of that happened in this Equestria. Instead, Starlight got her butt kicked by the dork and my old man, got sent to jail and then became Chrysalis’ toy for a while. Heck, except for Twilight, none of the actual gang want anything to do with Starlight, even the dork is still not peachy about her.
>Ooooh! I get it, now! But what about us? Do we like Starlight, now?
>Yeah, she can be kinda cool to hang around. Now shut up ‘cuz we gotta go back to the conversation.
“Alright, alright, I get it! You ain’t a goody-two-shoes like Purple thinks! And what would you know? I actually like that a lot and I mean a lot. So tell me what you need before I sent you close to the top dog’s office”
>Well, at least Starlight is as adorable as anypony else when she puts that thinking pose“I need a moment to think about it, because this will be tricky.”
“Oh? Didn’t you just say that you could handle Accord with no problem? You ain’t chickening on me, are you?”

>“Accord is not the problem, the Anons are. Those brats may not be on the level of our Anon, but they aren’t as stupid as their “father” either. I can’t just barge in and say how much I liked their company because they will see through my lies, sooo…. Tell me, how good are those powers of yours with make-up?”
>Dude, is she, for real? No, seriously, is she? Dude, can’t she like, see how cool our make-up is?
>Nah! Just look at her, Starlight ain’t bright when it comes to look cute.
“How good?! Dude, I can transform a swamp monster into a beauty queen in less than a second! Wait…Why do you ask? Are you planning on becoming their new mommy?”
>“What?! Ew! Of course not!” Heh, heh! If she had cringed a bit more, I’m sure her face would’ve come out from her butt! “I want you to make me look as if I had taken a good beating, and I mean things like black eyes, bruises, blood, missing teeth. The whole yard”
“Oooh! I get it! You want them to believe that you escaped from my cute claws! A’ight, I will make you look as if you just got hit by a train made of diamonds!”

>Sooo, Eris…. Shall we?
>Sister, you know it! Question is… how bad will she look?
>Dude, why are you even asking?! Let’s make Motley look like she had the entire Tijuana experience!
>Oh, baby! Now we’re talking!
>“Don’t go too overboard, Eris! I’m sure those little snotty brats will get suspicious if I look too bloody!”
>Dang it, she’s right! We need to tone it down a bit!
>Awwww! But we still haven’t reached the mariachi-effect!
>I know! But we need it to feel believable, y’know? If her head is split open then nopony is ever gonna believe that she managed to escape from us AND make the trek all the way to here!
>Oh… yeah, I didn’t think about that.

“I ain’t stupid, y’know?! I’ve had my good share of fights before.”
>“D’aaw! And I bet they were to protect your cute little brother from all of those bullies that were meany to him!”
>Ooooh! Dude! Are you…
>SHUT UP! I’m gonna remind Starlight who’s in charge here! In the most stylish way possible of course, I don’t wanna come off as just a common thug.
“Eeeeh, sometimes, sure… others were because it was just fun and others because I wanted to give a lesson to a lousy mouth breather who got a tad too smug with me… if you know what I mean.”
>“I-I think I get the message loud and clear”
>Holy crackers, dude! I think Starlight just saw her life flashing before her!
>Good… she went to places that nopony should go to.

>What are you gonna do now?! Oh, please tell me you’re gonna turn her into a toad!
>If we weren’t in the middle of saving Equestria, sure I would, but right now… well, we kinda need her. Soooo~!
“Awesome! Now, I gotta know something before I sent your butt to Accord or else my curiosity will kill me. How are you gonna sell your story to those schmucks?”
>“That’s easy! I just have to tell them about how I used to run the town, that I always dreamed with a world of pure order and that my dreams were crushed by a stubborn colt and the mutated snake he has for an uncle. No problem there… what I’m worried about is what are YOU planning to convince these Princesses to join us.”
>Dude, did I hear that right? Like, does Motley really thinks we have a plan?

>I dunno, dude. Maybe she spoke in another language or something. Eh, maybe we should, y’know, ask her?
“Excuse me? Are you seriously asking if I have a plan?! Dude, like, do you know who you’re talking to?! I’m a spirit of chaos! I don’t do plans! I’ll just break into their place and improvise or something”
>“Eriiiiis!” Oh man! Now she’s really mad!
>Oh yeah?! Just watch how I teleport her out! I ain’t gonna deal with more whines today!
“What’s that? I can’t hear a thing over the sound of you getting teleported! Bye-Bye Motley! Good luck with the brats and remember! Don’t screw this up or I’ll screw your head into a bagpipe!”
>And there she goes! Tee-hee! Motley looked like she was about to pop a vein there!
>Who cares?! We gotta go with the Princesses now.
>Oh, that’s right! So… uh… any idea how we’re gonna get there?

>Are you this stupid or this is just an elaborate prank?! We don’t need to do anything, you air-headed bimbo! We will just teleport there!
>Tee-hee! I know! I was just messing with you!
>Well, don’t do that often if you don’t want me to bash your head in! A’ight! Chaos powers and yadda-yadda! BOOM! We’re here!
>Oh, my gosh! This is just… sad.
>No kidding, never expected to see the all-mighty Princesses to fall THIS low. Like, geez dude! Look at how tinny this crappy office is! Those two can barely fit with all of those papers, folders, and shelves! Heck! They only have one crappy desk in the middle of this crappy office and is still filled with papers!
>I know! This is gonna be soooo easy!
>I dunno, dude, despite the cramped, little office, those two seem to be hard at work there.

>Uh… dude… did you forget to make us invisible?
>No… why?
>’Cuz the crazy ponies are looking toward us.
>What?! No way! They must be looking at something behind us.
>“So, you’re the draconequus that Accord was so interested in acquiring.” Nope! Celestia is talking to us now! And she ain’t looking very happy “I thought you were busy with your job interview. Pray tell, what business do you have with the R&D department?”
>Is not only her, dude! Luna also looks angry as heck!
>“Sister, I urge you to pay more attention. The draconequus still retains her unharmonious appearance, not to mention that she is not being escorted by any CEO or any recruitment personnel. This can only mean that Accord’s interview went wrong in some way.”
>“President Accord, my dear sister. Unless you want us to get an even smaller workplace, please don’t forget to call him by his proper title.”

>“I know how this company is structured, Celie! There is no need to remind me of the obvious when I was just pointing out the facts!”
>“And I was pointing out that you have to use the proper titles, Luna! I don’t want our office being moved to the janitor’s closet again!”
>“Do you think that I want to experience such a miserable experience again?! Open your eyes, Celie! The draconequus is clearly a fugitive of Accord! We must report her right now!”
>“FOR THE LAST TIME, LUNA! IS PRESIDENT ACCORD! Sweet mother of harmony! Is not even that hard to remember! Ugh! Just, keep working on our report while I investigate what’s going on!”
>Heh! Even in this dimension, those two can’t stop bickering at each other!
>Shut up! Celestia is looking at us again!
>“Your name is Eris, right? Give us a reason to not call security right now”
