"Pinkamena?" Pinkie uttered in response, confused as to why this other Pinkie referred to herself as such.

"Mmhmm," Pinkamena replied listlessly.

"But that's my name," Pinkie protested, as Pinkamena scowled in response.

"Uh, no it's not. In fact you couldn't even give me the courtesy of leaving me my own name. You had to take that from me as well."

"You keep accusing me! But I don't understand! How did I steal this life from you?" Was this some kind of deformity with the clones like the other one? She needed more information.

"Have you gotten so consumed in your role you honestly don't remember? Very well let me refresh your memory. You remember the day, the day of the Rainboom?"

How could she forget one of the most important days of her life?

"It was an... interesting day, I suppose. Pinkamena Diane Pie, a simply filly trapped in the routine of the monotonous life of rock farming. Then that's when it happened.

The Rainboom.

"I remember it, all the colors blowing across the rocks, the wind that rocketed the fields. At the time I thought it was amazing, but that's when it happened. When you betrayed me...Surprise!" She spat the name out as if she was breathing hot vapor. "My only friend. The consciousness that formed in my mind and served as a constant companion to a lonely filly. That damnable phenomena switched us."

Pinkie breathed out. "Switched?" she breathed.

"Yeah, switched." She took a deep, ragged breath. "I was now nothing more then a prison trapped in my own mine as you stole my name, my body, my life. Everything. And not once did you care. You as good as forgot me, having everything that was my consciousness forced into the dark and dangerous corners of you mind."

"N-No...I..." The tears started to fall. This couldn't be true.

Fake Personality?

"Don't worry Surprise." Pinkamena materialized a knife. "I'll make this quick."

Just narrowly Pinkie was block Pinkamena's attack with her staff. While Pinkie did not foresee getting into any confrontation it was agreed the Elements would start getting accustomed to having their gear on them regularly. "I suppose this won't be so easy."

Despite her confidence wavering Pinkie could not just die here. She would fight and disarm Pinkamena. There just had to be some other way.

Pinkie back flipped and landed in a crouch as she glanced up. She leaped at the other mare only to find herself grabbed by her neck.

"Too predictable." Pinkamena drawled before tossing Pinkie to the ground. "I have all your memories. All your power. All the brain power. Every time you fought! Every surge of instinct. A childish mind like yours lacks a true battle instinct. You will not beat me!" And with that she charged.

Pinkie, so used to having superior agility against nearly opponent she faced was founding herself pushed against an enemy that she could not out maneuver. The viciousness of Pinkamena shined through as every mistake earned her a cut from her counterpart's blade.

Fur and bled made its way to the ground as the bearer of laughter was relentlessly attacked.

Pinkie grunted as she crashed onto her back, she had deep gashes all over her body and was bleeding profusely. Pinkamena straddled her and pinned her arms down with her knees.

"This is where it ends. You fade and I take my life back."

"Stop!" Pinkie shouted as Pinkamena poised her knife.

"Goodbye Pinkie Pie."

"Let...me...Goooo!" A burst of chaos magic erupted from Pinkie blasting away the knife. Before she could respond a solid kick to her midsection sent her flying.

Landing between the two of them was none other then Naruto.

"Naruto? How'd did you know?"

"Our bond." he kneels next to his marefriend. "I could feel it through our bond. Your emotions. The others are going to be here soon."

"So you've arrived Empathy? No matter. If what you say is true, then you know you can't stand in the way of what needs to happen. I am the real pie. I am more then suitable to play the role of the bearer of Laughter. I deserve to have my life back."

"Real Pie? Deserve?" Naruto shook his head. "All I see before me is an enemy. An enemy trying to kill my beloved marefriend. I will not stand by and let her die. Whatever I have to do to protect her I will."

"We'll see. You have no idea of the power I wield." Pinkamean remarked as her finger tips crackled with Chaos magic.

"You seem so certain. These past two days were all part of your plan right? For all your careful planning, you made one mistake. You went and pissed me off!" Naruto shouted as he blitzed at Pinkameana while after-images were left behind him.

"What?" Pinkamena asked before a golden furred fist buried itself into her face. Pinkamena Held her face in pain as she stumbled back.

"Even pissed, the fact you share one of my loved one's face causes me to hesitate, even if just a little. That won't stop me from doing what needs to be done." He charged again this time landing a blow to her ribs using his leg before elbowing her in the back of the head in quick succession as nothing with, but mini jet bursts of wind were left from his movements.

"What is this!? I can't even touch him! He shouldn't be this strong without sage mode." Pinkamena thought incredulously before she felt herself being lifted up by her neck and slammed into a clearing.

Pinkamena began spitting up blood as she pushed herself to her knees.

"H-How?" Pinkamena had felt confident as long as she caught the blond off guard or before he used Kurama's chakra she could use her chaos magic to take him. Had he really gotten this much stronger in such a short amount of time?

"You should have Pinkie's memories as well. You don't need me to tell you." He said as he formed a Rasengan in his hand. He bowed his head as he knew there was only one thing left to do.

"Go ahead…do it; I'd rather die then go back to being a prisoner." Pinkamena said tiredly. "I was tired even before I finally got my freedom. Trying to fight off Surprise and the magic took the fight out of me anyway."

Naruto couldn't help but hesitate. Something didn't feel right. That's when he picked up on it. He was...he was hesitating. But why? Unlike those blank slates he could feel something real coming from this Pinkie.

He could hear the sound of his mares calling to him. His attention wavered and that's when it happened. He hadn't let his guard down. He was expecting Pinkamena to lash out. To try and kill him. To take him away from Pinkie as some form of victory.

But.

That was not what happened.

Many of times Pinkie Pie was accused of being a teleported. Her ability to keep up with almost anypony had been a source of confusion and concern of others.

But no. Pinkie Pie was not a teleporter. The magic from her body allowed her to slightly bend reality to Hyper Accelerate or slowdown and even pause some segments of reality.

This allowed her to tap into the vast energies of the cosmos itself.

Accelerating herself gave her the ability to move at unbelievable speeds.

Influencing the pockets allowed her to store and remove items in unoccupied spaces to which why she could pull anything from just about anywhere.

Her connection and sensitivity to this what her Pinkie Sense essentially was.

And what magic was famously known for bending the rules?

Chaos magic?

Chaos magic which could influence the senses of others.

With that last burst Pinkamena was determined to take vengeance on the one she felt ruin her life.

"PINKIE! NO/RUN/WATCHOUT/GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

A blade, mere inches from her was the last thing she saw before she was washed over by the bright familiar energy of her Element.

Pinkie began to stir and collect herself. She was. She felt like she was in that familiar of nothingness during the debacle with Discord.

Soon light washed over and she found herself in the middle of her family farm land. As far as the eye could see farm land with all sorts of rocks big and small.

Was this...was this her mindscape?

"Just do me a favor and die!" Pinkie spun as Pinkamena charged towards her. Pinkie was frozen in fear. There was nothing she could do. She closed her eyes waiting for the pain to come but it never came.

The wail that came from the other's lips alarmed her and caused her eyes to open.

Between them with the knife plunged into her was a mare. A mare with a snow white coat and dandelion yellow fur and hair dressed like her and Pinkamena.

The mare fell back to her backside and clutched the wound. She seemed at peace despite being stabbed.

"Guess that was...quite the Surprise! Get it? Surprise!" The mare briefly giggled before winching and clutching her wound.

"No...but...you...how..." Pinkamena's practically fell. She fell to her knees and clutched her head and began screaming. "NOOO! NO NO NO! THIS IS A TRICK! SURPRISE! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!" Pinkamena was obviously losing her mind.

"Pinka...I'm so sorry." The other mare, Surprise, Pinkie didn't know how, but she knew this was her name. "I...I wanted to help you so badly. I tried to but it...it stopped me. You weren't...you weren't supposed to be alone. But it wouldn't let you go. It already took you from me, I couldn't let it have Pinkie Pie as well." Surprise apologized as the tears began to fall.

"I-It?" Pinkamena began panting and grunting as her body shivered.

"Or I should say her. ' Surprise then turned to Pinkie. "We're so sorry. We tried to be strong. Be strong for you, but neither one of us could do it alone."

"Surprise? What's going on? What is this her? Is he hurting you and Pinkamena? I can help you." Pinkie pleaded.

Surprise merely smiled. "It...it makes me happy. It makes me happy that I'm a reflection of all that's good in you."

"A...a reflection?" Pinkie had a good idea of what the mare was implying.

"Yes Pinkie. We...we don't have much time left. So please just listened and let me explain." Surprise said as Pinkie nodded and sat down. "Do you remember your battle with Discord and how he corrupted you?" she asked as Pinkie's eyes widened, but she merely nodded in response. "Like Twilight who didn't have her seed pulled out, not all of the seed left you either." He said as A sickening gnawing pain began to form in Pinkie's gut.

"The little bit of seed that stayed inside your body was absorbed by the chaos magic during the day you got your Cutie Mark."

A hell of a wham line if Pinkie Pie ever heard one.

"No...I...that..."

Surprise nodded. "Yes, the chaos magic that flows through you. Those abilities. All thanks to Discord's ambient magic flowing through you. You are the first and only successful container of both Harmony and Chaos magic and as a result that led to certain things. Like the creation of myself and Pinkamena. Pinkamena is not lying, but she is not completely true either. The two of you together are the real Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie had so many questions, but refrained from asking. Surprise looked like she was far from finished. "I am...I was just an imaginary friend, but your chaos magic made me closer to real and the chaos magic seeing as even in the tiniest bits of ambient magic the hint of the personality of its wielder remains saw this as a means to gain a means to escape and take control of your body. " Surprise began to cry heavily at this. "I couldn't...I wouldn't let it hurt you and I tried to sacrifice myself and take it with me, but...but then you got in the way. You were trying to save me but I wasn't going to let you sacrifice yourself so by sacrificing my mind I planned to lock myself away with the chaos magic. What I didn't expect was that I would also be locking away part of your personality as well. All my thoughts were to protecting you from the evil of the magic and I unintentionally damaged you and fractured your mind causing Pinkamena to be trapped in my stead with it forming a box of negative emotions while leaving our positive emotions to flow through you without filter."

It was beginning to make sense now. Why whenever she felt negative emotions she would slowly begin to lose herself; to the point there was times she felt like she was losing touch with reality itself.

"If it was just the magic we would have been fine, but then...Discord happened and like I said the seed and magic combined and its grown too strong. We can't...we can't keep it contained anymore. It kills us and absorbs us or we...or we unite with you."

Pinkie's head bowed down. This was...this was just so much to take in, but she had a duty to do. Surprise. Pinkamena. She didn't want them to suffer. It didn't matter if they weren't technically real. They were real to her.

"O-Okay. I'm ready." Pinkie said as she used her arm to wipe away the tears.

Pinkamena who sat there sell shock at the revelations didn't notice the alarm on the mares faces.

By the time she realized what was happening it was too late. She turned and let out a horrified scream as what looked like an ooze substance landed on her.

It hurt. It burned.

Her mind passed out from the pain as all she knew was darkness.

An explosion of magic darkened the area turning the normal sky to a sickly ghoulish cobalt blue-black.

Standing opposite of Pinkie looked like a deranged version of herself with straight gray hair and eyes...eyes of a Draconquus.

Darkness awakens! Pinkamena?

Surprise was sent hurtling back as the dark Pinkie sent her flying with just a kick.

The dark Pinkie grinned viciously and grabbed the real Pinkie by her face.

"Sorry cupcake, but the real fun starts here." She said before plunging a orange, purple, and pink dagger shaped chaos weapon into Pinkie's shoulder.

"AHHH!" Pinkie screamed before she was tossed aside as chaos Pinkie let the blood drip into her mouth.

Pinkie recovered just in time to summon her staff to block the attack but her staff was cleaved in two. With her blade aimed for Pinkie's chest. However before she could kill the woman she felt her body being blasted away by the force of a canon.

"I want let you!" Surprise said leaning against a Canon she summoned. 'Pinkie we need to..."

"SURPRISE MOVE!" Pinkie shouted as chaos Pinkie slittered across the ground with frightening speed. Chaos Pinkie took out a streamer and blew it firing out hundreds of tooth pick like needles of chaos energy. Several of them ripping into Surprise's shoulder who could only fall to her side and withered in pain.

"Wait your turn Surprise! Those are the rules of the game." she said before she leaped onto Pinkie and began beating her viciously.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The manifestation laughed in an insane glee as she continued to beat Pinkie to the point the mare could no longer verbalize her pain.

"No more! I won't let you!" Surprise put everything she had as she slammed her leg into the manifestation's face causing her head to twist but not much else.

"Sense you're in such a hurry to die!" Chaos's hand ignited with chaos magic. She appeared behind Surprise faster then the mare could react. "Die!"

Surprise was going to die and all Pinkie could do was lay there and be helpless.

She should have known better. How could she thought she was a hero? All her instinct? Her emotions? That was Surprise and Pinkamena. She was nopony. She was a useless child and now because she wasn't strong enough Surprise and Pinkamena were both going to die.

Her friends. Her family. There was no telling what was going to happen next. She failed everyone.

Next thing she knew she was in a plane of white. "Am I...Am I dead?"

"No young one. You're journey has just begun.

A voice spoke up and Pinkied looked up to see an Alicorn. For a moment because her coat she thought it was Celestia...but her hair. No the hair was...Auburn? She couldn't tell. She couldn't make out the eyes either.

"Just like Generosity before you its time for you to take that next big step. Its time for you to become whole Pinkamena."

"How do you know what's going on? Who are you?" She wondered as the unknown Alicorn smiled at her.

"In time, you will know. " The mare placed her hand on Pinkie's head. A warmth filled Pinkie. Something about this Alicorn felt so motherly. "And do not doubt yourself. Your friends need you."

"What if...what if even with Pinkamena and Surprise I am no good?" The self doubt was rather evident.

"Pinkie Pie every bearer has had their role and you are no exception. Remember as Surprise said you are the true self. Your heart has guided you to make selfless choices for your friends. You've gone out of your way to bring much joy and laughter to the hearts of many. In fact like your fellow bearer Fluttershy you play a very important role of being the Heart of the team. Believe in your self Pinkie Pie like they believe in you."

This was it. If Pinkie did nothing at all it would lead to the loss of her loved ones. It was time to stop being afraid. It was time to awaken.

It all happened so fast. One moment the chaos manifestation was about to end Surprise and the next thing she knew she was collapsing to her knees and retching in pain.

She felt it. The loss of the aspect she stole.

She looked up just in time to see Surprise turn into white hazy whisps and float away. She turned her head to see black whisps as they both floated above Pinkie Pie. Both merged as a faint golden glow was radiating from Pinkie's magical core.

An Element Reborn! The path to true Laughter has opened.

All of Pinkie's injuries faded away. "I-impossible."

"Subconsciously I always felt I wasn't good enough! I tried to supress those negative feelings! I couldn't fully trust anypony! Not even myself, but now the only way I can be strong is to fully stop lying to myself. To stop being ashamed of parts of myself and fully embrace them. I'm not just Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena is more than a name I will shy away from. I am Laughter incarnate. Pinkamena Pinkie Diane Pie the most surprising mare you'll ever meet."

"It'll take more then a pretty speech to stand up against me filly!" The incarnate shouted as she rushed after her counterpart.

"My friends are waiting for me. I don't have time for games right now." Instantly Pinkie summoned her staff and with a spin and strike sent a jaw shattering blow stopping the copy in its place.

"Too weak!" The dark mare shouted as she forced herself to lunge at the mare.

"Far too predictable." Laughter muttered as she stepped back and began channeling her magic into the ground to hurl chaos enchanted rocks at her counterpart.

"Gah!" The dark mare shouted as blood spilled from her mouth as the result of the rocks colliding with her body at high speed.

"Give up, I won't lose to you. I won't hesitate to you anymore!" Pinkie muttered as she then used her magic to summon a long line of party cannons.

"Don't get cocky!" the dark mare shouted as she raised her hands a series of chaos orbs began to form in the area.

Pinkie grunted as she slammed her staff into the ground and stood strong as the cannons began firing. The two attacks causing shockwaves around the area, the bright explosions bathing the area in white.

"Whatever you are up to it won't work..." The dark mare was cut off as Pinkie's taff was stabbed right through her. The mare was covered by the glow of her Element.

The dark mare stumbled back and collapsed to her knees as unstable chaos energy crackled from her body. Cracks began to form in her face and along her body. "This isn't...this isn't the end." the incarnation promised as more cracks began to form. "...I'll...i'll be back..and when I do return...you'll know...the real meaning of...Chaos." Pinkie shielded herself as the chaos magic let out a bright explosion. The brightness faded and Pinkie could hear the voices of her concerned friends. She was returning back to the land of consciousness.

Pinkie blinked as tears poured down her cheeks. 'Pinkamena. Surprise. Thank you. I won't let everything you suffered through be in vein. I'll be the best mare I can be.'

Another conflict brought to an end. This was going to be one of those difficult debriefings, but Pinkie new she had to do it. The next few days were going to be hard but with her loved ones she knew she was going to be able to pull through.

The element of Laughter was indeed a powerful thing. This aspect of Harmony was second only to empathy when it came to the nature of emotions. But laughter's power alone was not enough to completely obliterate the chaos magic. Merely removing the taint from its hosts body and weakening the connection.

So with what little power it had left the ambient force began to take a new form. A smallish creature that looked to be a mixture of several animals. The familiar mash mash of pony, goat, and dragon that could be only one thing. A Draconequus. The spirit's expression was mischievous and her form attractive clad in a tight blue tank top and a pair of really short jean shorts.

As she was now she was far too weak. For now it would be best for her to lay low and feed off whatever ambient chaos she could get.

It would be a few years, but when the time comes the entire planet would be bowing down to Eris Goddess of Chaos.

This two parted covered a lot of material. You'll notice a lot of references. The Psycho Pinkamena cliche. A rather poorly thought out and trash cliche made popular from a piece of trash by the name of Cupcakes. Its fan and the imitators know nothing of art and are into sick torture porn.

Unfortunately this dreadful aspect is popular in the fandom so I needed to do my usual subversion/playing it straight thing.

Also references to Surprise, the proto version of Pinkie and another concept of Pinkie having multiple personalities. Being the way that I am I of course wanted it to connect back to the whole Discord mind rape issue and I even wanted to have a reason for Pinkie to justifiably have a possible psychosis issue and why it didn't develop before.

Then I remembered something I read a long time ago. A throwaway line in a fanfic about the rock frm being a hotspot for chaos magic. I thought it was brilliant and it was a shame that it wasn't used as a plot point or character development for Pinkie but as part of a semi-humor explanation for Pinkie's abilities.

For those who remember the second Nightmare Arc we had the major character development/escalation of Rarity's character. (I have gone back today and edited that chapters. Mostly added a few lines.) And now it was Pinkie's turn.

Now all and all I think its obvious for anyone who has seen season four what the final mastering aspect of their elements is going to be.

Twilight's moment is obviously going to be her ascension.

Fluttershy - Could possibly have to do with a reassurance of Fluttercruel. As far as Applejack and Rainbow. Yeah no clues. Please help. Ideas needed. XD.

All and all there was some heavy dialogue/exposition like stuff and its always possible in the future I might redo the chapters.

I also know some of you can get tired of issues being harped on, but hey, like I reiterated before. In real life your issues aren't just worked out after one time. If you have serious issues like crippling in regards to your personality that shit could take years, even with help to get over and adapt depending on your willingness.

Character flaws or issues aren't real flaws or issues if they can be taken care of immediately. And an important core aspect of this story is hope versus doubt. Because remember. Up until two years ago most of the bearers were ordinary citizens. Now their dealing with gods, wars, armies, mind magic, and a shit ton of stuff in such a short amount of time.

There has been attempted murders, assault, a couple of them were almost raped and that's not even getting into having their minds tampered with. So bear with me. The hard thing about having loads of characters, and relationships, and all that stuff is that there is just so much material you want to do it all. XD.

Anyway just like how after Rarity's moment her maturity spiked you'll be seeing a more mature and together Pinkie Pie, but she will still be Pinkie Pie at heart just that she now has a better understanding of what it means to bring Laughter just as Rarity now does with Generosity.

And yes probably not one of my better fight scenes, but I was more concerned about the character development then the fighting.
