"Freeze Bonnie! You're surrounded!" The Royal guards of Canterlot shouted as Bonnie let out a part of breath, she looked around the area put her hands up.
"I need your help now Discord! Like now I'm kinda in a sticky situation!" Bonnie shouts as she holds her money close to her chest, the guards slowly close in on Bonnie just as she felt like the end was near a loud boom sounded as Bonnie looked up from cover to see a jack in the box already popped off as the several guards were bounded and secure on the walls everywhere.
Bonnie continued walking through the building and made her way towards the exit, once there she steps out and smiles to see Discord wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses. His joking side aside he was actually someone Bonnie would love to be with, his magic capable of taking them from danger and helping with more heists it was all the better to continue the reign of anarchy.
"Ah your frightened tones fill me with so much anticipation, I mean for a second you thought you'd be captured. I would never let the mare who caused so much anarchy to break the seal fall without a chance to recover. Now my dear I believe it's time we left." Bonnie smiles as she teleports away with Discord by her side.
Days went on as the pair continued an anarchy spree, though it wasn't without its intimate moments. Bonnie was rather fond of Discord the two shared so much in common that she couldn't compare to any other mare.
"That so much fun! Oh just the looks on their faces when everything they had was gone!" Bonnie says with excitement as she enters her safe house.
"Bonnie my dear, I want to make it clear there are various reasons why I help you. For one you have this outgoing personality this I don't care what others think personality, and see it brings me so much joy. Another reason happens to be right in your belly, that little part of me that'll be with you. For that I wish to know your name, I've only ever called Bonnie Anne. I know that's not your name." Bonnie looked down to see her bugling belly and sighed.
"I guess it's time I told you huh, my name is Bonnie Anne Hart younger sister to Liam Rhys Hart." She looks at Discord with a smile as Discord laughs and pats the belly of the mother of his child.
"Chaos will never end my dear, not with the two of us together." He says with a laugh. "It'll just continue in the next generation is all."
Years later...
"I'm not lying!" Sweetie shouts with anger as she crosses her arms, her classmates were in a debate in whether you were her actual brother. With your fame came doubts as now that Sweetie was in Canterlot she could actually show them you.
"Yeah right you're probably making it up!" Diamond Tiara retorted as Sweetie seemed annoyed that ponies didn't believe her.
"You don't even have any evidence." Silver Spoon stated crossing her arms as they began to enter the maze, Sweetie was adamant on showing them you were actually her older brother.
"Fine! I'll prove that he's my older brother, we're nearing the gardens and you can see for yourself that the Prince of White Leaf is my older brother." She nods her head giving an almost matter of fact nod.
Elsewhere...
You laid in your bed, it's been over two weeks since the gala as both Milky and Coco got along relatively well, actually that was a lie they got along so well that Milky instantly loved her upon seeing her.
"Hmm that color does suit Aiden but what about me. What color would suit me?" Milky asks Coco as the two talked to one another about dresses, you were tired by the word tired. The simple fact that you were still up was a miracle. With late readings of your father's journal you found out about your aunt, or rather The Chemist of the East, more commonly know as White Leaf Scorn. Apparently your aunt Bonnie Anne Hart was your father's younger sister she loved getting into trouble and from the history books she led a life in dangerous time to be human in Equestria. With so much hatred for one another she was one of the only immune pure blooded human, she was the reason why most scientist had such a hard time with the advancement of a cure. Her apprehensive led pushing the cure more then a decade back.
After awhile of reading your father's journal her name came up after her death, it said birth complications. Though it never really said of the baby of your aunt survived. Most likely passed away, seeing as you don't have any cousins from your father's side, the only other cousin you had was on your mother side which was Deidra.
"Aiden! Are you listening." I removed the hat from my face and looked up to see Coco and Milky both who had their arms crossed. Removing your ear buds you out then aside and looked at them.
"We asked if it was okay for us to give Evie a bath? She's filthy." You looked at your dog as she was chew on a bone you gave a few hours ago, mud lines her muzzle perfectly along with several dirt splotches on the sides of her coat. Her paws were caked with dried mud that looked more like dirt cakes.
"Uh yeah sure." You say with a sigh as you laid back down, your hat on your head as you felt a little weight on your waist, you looked to see Coco. She had a concerned look on her, seeing her once more made me think more depth of her appearance.
She had a tiny frame, her height was much shorter then you. She about a foot shorter to you, around 4'10 while you stood at a 5'10. She had a rather small bust size, compared to Milky she didn't seem to have much of a bust. But it suited her, she was cute and didn't need a large bust to emphasis her beauty.
"I'm fine really, just a little tired." You say sighing as you closed your eyes, though without giving you much time to open them. Coco got close to you pressing her lips against yours as she seemed to think that would give you a recovery. Which was kind of right, You smiled and held her close as her tiny body pressed against yours. She was so stunned that after switching places she seemed to have a red blush, you brushed her neck and dove in to kiss her again.
"Ahm, I hate to break this little playful session but we still gotta clean Evie." Milky points out crossing her arms as the both of you laugh a little and begin to get to work. But as they began taking Evie to the bath you noticed that something was wrong, you looked outside to see pink clouds, you were confused and opened the doors to your balcony and looked outside. Rain began to fall, but it wasn't normal water it was chocolate.
"What the hell?" You said a loud as you tasted the chocolate rain, it was 100% chocolate and that taste was really familiar of course you wouldn't forget the taste.
Looking towards your chest you felt your element begin to shake as if it was reacting to something really off. You reentered your room and walked towards the bathroom to see both Coco and Milky cleaning Evie as Evie looked relaxed to be washed and massaged by Coco, clearly your dog was as spoiled as spoiled can be.
"Girls I'll be back, my element is reacting to something around." The two stopped and gasped.
"Is it something dangerous?" Coco asks
"I dunno but lock the door, I rather not have you two hurt." They both nod as you exit the room and hear a lock being clicked.
You ran down the halls and towards the throne room, reaching the throne room you spotted Celestia she had a serious expression on her as she saw you she smiled.
"Thank goodness you aren't hurt, you seen what's happening outside." You nod and looked around to see a pink tint around the room when it usually rains Celestia's throne room always has a dark gray moody tint knowing that this is happening makes it feel even more scary.
"Come with me Aiden, the rest of elements will meet us in the grand hall." You nodded and followed closely from behind, but as you did you felt as if someone was watching you, their eyes giving off a piercing effect.
After a short walk you entered a large and extremely amazing looking hall, on the Windows had pictures of the current elements of harmony along with each of you defeating Nightmare Moon, though the first half of the stain glass mural had you sitting across from Nightmare to create a stalemate.
"Are you recording our attempts at harmony Princess?" You asked as you stated in all at the pictures, she nods and smiles.
"It's a record of history for you and your friends, rather it's something for you to reflect back on. You may have not been in Ponyville while your friends dealt with friendship problems but as long as you know they're close to you, you'll be fine." Celestia mentions as she continues on towards the end of a locked door, a few minutes of silence passed as the other element bearers enter.
"Aiden! I'm so glad you're not hurt!" Rarity says running towards you as she hugs you, she might've appeared dainty, but with you she hugged really hard.
"I'm fine Rares, not worry about me. Trust me." You say smiling as she nods and turns to Celestia while the rest of the girls looked at Celestia you spotted Fluttershy giving you a short interested glance before blushing and looking at Celestia, you were confused, but you really couldn't think about that now.
"As you all know these odd occurrences aren't natural in the very least. They're the work of something rather someone powerful and extremely dangerous." Celestia mentions.
"So we just find whoever is doing this and zap them with our elements, boom we're done!" Rainbow mentions crossing her arms.
"Precisely." She says smiling as she approaches the door and begins to unlock the door from the outside, using her magic the door glows a brilliant gold the door slowly open as it reveals a pedestal where a chest sat, taking the box Celestia opens it and gasps as there's nothing inside the rest of girls had panicked looks on them but before things could escalate a laugh was heard.
"Oh what a wonderful surprise! Seeing the element bearers all in one hallway, it's amazing who those shiny rocks choose as bearers. And what a wonderful surprise, a human! I haven't seen one of you things since my last outing." He lets out a loud laugh.
"Show yourself Discord!" Celestia shouts with anger.
"No need to shout my dear, as of now I shall not leave your side." He says smiling as he appears from thin air.
"Where are the elements Discord!" Celestia says with anger.
"Where would the fun be if I you had your elements? I mean all we have is each other and now isn't that what's important. More importantly I have a treats for the six of you mares, while that little human has a scavenging hunt. It's only fair, right!" He asks smiling as he disappears suddenly a scroll appears in your hands, breaking the seal you look at the scroll to see the hint.
In order to find Prince Dago, you must find where his heart resides.
"Looks like we're on different sides of the same battle, I'll go look for Dago you guys find your elements." They all nod.
"Uh please be careful Aiden." Fluttershy says shyly but with a smile. You found it odd that Fluttershy of all ponies would say that, but playing dumb worked best of you didn't have an answer.
"Sure thing love." You say in a welsh accent as Fluttershy nodded and smiled. All of you separated as you ran through the halls of the castle you kept repeating the riddle to yourself, and snapped your fingers.
"Sonata!" You shout as you ran faster and towards the sirens home.
Later...
Arriving to the sirens home you saw the whole house engulfed in a watery cube, the house was perfectly set in the middle like fruit in a jello. You looked around trying to find a perfect and dry opening, you only saw water, water, and even more water.
"You better thank me for this you little jerk." You mumble to yourself as you got a deep breath, you pushed through the water wall and swam through it. You looked to the front door and pulled it back with all your might and swam through the front entrance you looked around the house to see furniture floating around. You gasped as you saw Aria in her siren, now you lost so much air you were running low on oxygen.
"Aiden what're you doing here? Do you know what's going on?" You couldn't reply as you couldn't really breathe underwater.
"Oh right you aren't a serpent." She created a small bubble from a slight blow of her lips as she placed it around you, you gasped for air and coughed as she now looked at you expectantly.
"Thank you." You said in between gasps. "I'm looking for Sonata she has something I need." Aria only nodded as she helped you navigate their home and swim towards Sonata's room.
As you got closer and closer the water became colder and colder, you shivered a bit.
"Sorry, Sonata's a winter siren. So all this water is gonna be cold for like ever, well until we actually get out." You nodded and opened the door, you felt like if you stayed their any longer you'd get hypothermia. You looked towards Sonata chest and smiled as you got closer and closer to her. Swiping the wooden pawn the water began to drain as it swirled like a flush toilet into a hole in the floor.
Later...
Opening your eyes you looked around to see yourself in an alternate Ponyville, the upside down buildings and the odd trails made you think that you were in an alternate dimension. You rubbed your forehead and looked at the wooden pawn, you saw that it was Dago's cutiemark, you groan and looked around to see that your clothes were dry. Either the sirens home was a hallucination or someone dried your clothes extremely fast and left you KOed or some reason.
"Ahahaha! You should've seen the look on your face! You were so surprised, hey I can even imitate your face." The odd creature began to show funny faces making extremely pissed as you glared at her.
"Enough with the crap! I got the pawn! Now give me back Dago!" You shout in anger as the creature laughs.
"You're so predictable, Prince Dago has a new love and that mare is old news. Do you wanna hint honey bunny?" She asks in a taunting voice as you glared at her, taking the pawn you tossed it at her as she laughs when she dodges it.
"So funny! You think you could hurt the next goddess of mischief, oh the irony on that one!" She says laughing.
"Just give me the damn hint." You say glaring.
"Say it nicely and then I'll give it you."
"How about I say it again, give me the damn hint before I lose my patience and hurt you." You said in a rather aggressive sounding voice. She was startled for a second before shaking her head and glaring at you.
"Fine I'll give you the hint, this time you better not mess up ahem. The mare lives in this town, she is one of a kind, find a gem between the rocks and then point the needle right in the point. Tick tock the clock is ticking." She disappears into a cloud of black dust as you were left coughing, the hint was enough to decipher. Rarity was the key.
Running past the several floating buildings and several really weird hazards you approached the boutique that was your sister's home and business. Grabbing the door knob you began pulling only for it to not open, you looked around and found a rock near the flowerbeds taking the rock, you removed the secret key and opened the door.
Just inside was Rarity get coat and mane grayed out like one of those classic TV shows from years ago, you only saw her stand and walk around a rock in the center of the room.
"Rarity are you okay?" You asked as you began approaching her, sudden she removed several needles and began tossing them at a high velocity, your eyes widen as you ran towards a table and flipped it over hiding behind it as the needles were removed.
"Shit!" You shouted as you looked around and tried creating pollen but as you did Rarity rushed your position and made you toss pollen on yourself, you slowly overcame to the drowsy effect and slowly fell asleep.
Later...
"I-is he going to be okay?" You heard Fluttershy ask.
"Oh I feel terrible for hurting my brother, I'm sure he only wanted to help. I'm a terrible little sister." She began sobbing as you finally came to, your eyes opened as you looked around to see the six other element bearers around you.
"Aww fuck, what happened?" You asked
"You were knocked by something Fluttershy tried to use CPR on you." Fluttershy blushed and looked down cover her face with her mane.
"That wouldn't have been necessary I accidentally knocked myself out with the pollen I had planned to throw at Rarity to calm her down." Rarity looked at Fluttershy who gave her a small shake of head as she sighed.
"Look Rares, give me that pawn around your neck. It's important I have it now. I need it to release Dago from his prison or so I think." You say with a sigh as Rarity nods and removes the wooden chess pawn from her neck and hands it to you.
"Now he beat Discord at his own game, everyone ready up. This maybe dangerous." Twilight says with a smile.
You all arrived at town square, their sat Discord as he sat on a throne of mismatched what you presumed to be junk, along side her was Eris. She stood there smiling as you glared at her.
"Ah the elements of harmony how are my little players of the game I call Chaos, age 1 to 100 though I wouldn't recommend playing this you're under the age of 6. Small pieces are included." Discord says smiling as he whispered the last part to you all.
"Girls are you ready?" Twilight asks as she smiles, all seven of you wore your elements with pride as Discord rolled his eyes.
"This again? Oh well I suppose we can do it with another pony or human, go on give it your best shot." You smiled at everyone as they all nod, slowly you all began to rise from the ground as the elements began to be tied to each other as rainbow light emgulfed both Discord and Eris into a pure white light. You let out a sigh of relief as you all began to slowly descend.
"We did it?! Hahaha! We did it!" You shouted as you cheered hugged Fluttershy as she seemed to be too happy to even care you were hugging her, you let go as you tossed the pawn away as Rarity approached Fluttershy and smiled, Fluttershy hugged herself almost if she was hoping it would happen.
You looked around and spotted Dago cough as he seemed dazed. You ran up to him and hugged him he smiled as he saw you beat both Discord and Eris, you looked at the two statues and smiled you finally did something with bearers and all you needed to do was actually go on your separate adventure. Though you looked at Eris something about her was familiar you cover your hand with pollen as you began circling it around her, slowly her body changed that of a human. Looking closer to her you smiled she looked extremely familiar she looked like Bonnie Ann that was sure as hell a fact. You sighed and shook your head as you joined your friends as they celebrated.
Later...
You laid in bed, your head on your pillows as you took out your phone went to your texting app. You smiled seeing both Lotus and Aloe's numbers, you haven't spoken to them in awhile. Maybe it was time you did.
Hey, it's Aiden, sorry if I don't call or text as often a lot of crazy stuff has been happening, with me being an element and prince I barely get any time to myself.
It took awhile but Lotus messages back.
Its fine, though my sister and I understand you're busy schedule we don't want to cause undo stress on you, after all you're probably chatting up bigger ponies then us commoners. It hurt hear or least reading that Lotus felt that way. Though she text once again.
Im sorry it's just, you barely text now a days and we miss you. You just missed Aloe by the by, she went to sleep ten minutes ago You smiled, you remembered every time you'd have a sleep over together she was the first to sleep.
Of course she is, she was the only pony who'd sleep early, after all she did have the most energy.
LOL She typed as you texted Lotus throughout the night.
Elsewhere...
"Hmmm suitable candidate, build that can be molded. Honest, caring, hahaha a man who has plenty of mares around him. Ah and what's this a crack in his magical center, oh corruption can else be in sight with my young colt you'll feel it eventually my dear boy. Hahaha." Slowly the voice faded as you continued partying without a single concern.
