"I am no ordinary dragon."

As I got up from a huge pummeling, only to be knocked down into the ground by the black dragon, the dragon started to laugh at me. I charged a magical orb before firing it at him

"You know honestly i thought you'd be a worthy challenge considering you looked so confident." Mayhem said, dodging my magical beam that I fired at him. "But you're just like the rest. Weak. Pathetic. Always dependent of your artifacts to save the day." Mayhem appeared in front of me and began to punch me in the gut, causing me to scream in pain. Even my form was no match for him.

"Well you're wrong Mayhem! The elements were broken thanks to Sombra, and yet we were still able to use the Elements of Harmony without said Elements! It resides within our hearts!" I stepped back next to my friends, who began to glow with their respective elemental color. "This is the power of frienship!"

A rainbow colored orb began to form around ourselves as the magic of friendship began to pour into our bodies. Mayhem raised an eyebrow as we began to transform into our Harmonic forms.

"Behold the power of friendship!"

A powerful beam of rainbow magic exploded from the orb as it soared high into the sky. Mayhem's eyes drifted upwards, and much like how Discord's first reaction, the dragon laughed as the rainbow beam continued to fly high, only for it to form an arc and come directly on top of him. The rainbow beam engulfed his entire body, the ever increasing light from the beam blinding us all. All that was left was a massive crater surrounded by dust.

"Well that was easy." Rainbow Dash commented. Pinkie Pie laughed.

"Yep! Only a few minutes of screen time!" Pinkie Pie commented.

"Erm... is it just me, or aren't we supposed to be questioning why there was no stone statue?" Applejack questioned. We looked and sure enough, there was no stone statue.

"He must've been purely evil and chaotic for that to happen!" Rarity said. Fluttershy shook her head.

"Discord was evil and actually purely chaotic, but he only got turned to stone. Cozy, Tirek, and Chrysalis were even more evil, and all the Elements did was to remove their power. I'm afraid something else happened." Fluttershy stated.

I was about to respond when the ground began to shake. A light began to form in the center of the crater, before an explosion takes place. A huge column of energy breaks through the sky, illuminating the clouds for what seemed to be miles. The dragon we all thought defeated stood there, his eyes glowing blue and yellow. And we knew instantly that we were in deep trouble.

A roar tore through our ears, the clouds being pushed away by the shocking sound of his rage. In a swift motion that caused even Rainbow Dash to blink many times just to barely see it, Mayhem was above us, his claws up to the sky. Fire came down onto us. I propped up a shield to defend my friends, only for Mayhem to come crashing down, his fist breaking my shield with ease.

I was thrown away by the sudden breaking of my shield, losing my concentration a bit. I heard screams, not from my friends, but those dying to the creatures that had descended upon Equestria just as our battle began. I closed my eyes, trying to not see heads being chopped off, hearts being split in half, and bodies destroyed in moments. A rage built up inside of me, in my already Harmonic form. I gritted my teeth, my anger rising again. My rage finally reached its tipping point, my flames covering my body, fusing two forms into one. My long Harmonic mane instantly went ablaze, my eyes turned red again, and my fur turned into the white-yellow we all knew.

Mayhem looked at me with a curious look. He then smiled.

"Seemed you stacked your Burning form with your Harmonic form. Not something I expected, but it doesn't matter. I'll defeat you!" Mayhem yelled as he charged at me. I roared and hit him across his cheek.

"Go Twilight! Show that ruffian who's the princess of magic!" Rarity cheered for me as I tried to do consecutive attacks. Mayhem used his larger body to hit me a bit further than I could with my hooves. Even when I resorted to ranged attacks, he was always quick enough to dodge them, or they simply did not affect his hard scales.

"Sorry Twi, but I'm in a rush!" Mayhem said, before roaring, his power greatly increasing. I widened my eyes as his power seemed to have no limit.

"What type of dragon is this guy!" Spike yelled from a distance.

"I know!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, jumping around as usual. "Let's rush him and get this party started!"

Rainbow Dash nodded, grinning as she flew high into the air. Rarity began searching the ground for gems, sharpening them into blades or shields. Pinkie Pie brought her cannon, and AJ prepared her muscles for some intense bucking. Fluttershy hid in a corner.

"If it'd be of help, I'll join!" Starlight said, her horn sparking with magic.

"Yes! The Great and Powerful Trixie will face any danger!" Trixie said, who had found Starlight a while earlier, her hat a bit burned from the fire.

Behind us I could see the rest of the princesses, and the Young Six. Only the Pillar Six were absent for they had left to their point of origin, still discovering how their world had changed. I nodded.

"Let's do this!" I said, my mane still burning. Mayhem turned to face our group, his eyes making contact with mine. He raised his claw, pointing one of them at me. I growled at him

"Let's see if your team can win." Mayhem said, before beams of energy began to shoot from his claw. Craters were formed from the beams that tore through the ground before blowing up. I didn't even dare to use my shield. If his punch was able to do much damage, and that was without charging, how powerful would his energy beam be?!

"Let's see how you go against this!" Rainbow Dash yelled from above. Mayhem looked up, just to see three rings of rainbow light being produced. "TRIPLE SONIC RAINBOOM!"

The attack connected, causing a massive mushroom cloud to appear from the ground. The ground shook violently from the shockwave of the crash.

"AHHHH!"

"I guessed that failed." AJ said, before Rainbow Dash collided with her. The two became dizzy, spirals appearing in their eyes. I looked and saw Mayhem standing, only a few specs of dirt appearing on his scales

"Pathetic." Mayhem stated. He aimed to shoot at us, which was the signal Rarity needed. Using her genes, she created a barrier which Mayhem attacked. The beams of energy reflected off the gems, causing Mayhem to be surprised, before his own energy beams attacked him. Mayhem grunted as the beams hit him, causing some type of damage. But it seemed clear that the dragon was not going to be done any soon.

"Take that you ruffian!" Rarity said proudly. Mayhem laughed.

"Such attack won't work against some dragon like me!" Mayhem yelled, before punching the ground. A huge rock appeared under Rarity, causing her to scream as she was sent flying into the air.

"Rarity!" Spike yelled, as he tried to fly up to rescue her, only for Mayhem to grab him and pin him down.

"Don't worry! The Great and Powerful Trixie will say her as a way to repay the damage done to her mane!" Trixie stated as she powered her horn.

"No you don't!" Mayhem said, forming a dark energy ball. Suddenly, all of our energy was stolen into the ball, canceling our ability to fly. Rainbow and Fluttershy tried to fly up, but without their magic, their wings became too heavy to take flight

"Uh oh ..." Rainbow Dash stated. I widened my eyes as Rarity finished flying up, her body now under the grip of gravity as she began to come down.

"And here's to make sure that there's no chance." Mayhem said. He looked up to a flying bird, which was Raven again. "Do it." He ordered. The bird nodded as it flew high, before spelling a charm onto all of us.

"Ooo... What does Unlucky V means?" Pinkie Pie said suddenly.

"It basically will mean that everything will go against you to saving your friend." Mayhem stated. Rarity cries became much louder.

"RARITY NO!" Spike yelled as he tried to get out of Mayhem's grasp but he couldn't. The rest of the ponies that weren't affected were frozen, as if to prevent them from saving her.

A huge mound of earth was shot into the air as Rarity 's voice was cut short. Mayhem finally let go of Spike and the charm's effects disappeared. We rushed to see Rarity twitching, her eyes looking into the distance.

"Rarity!" Spike yelled, picking her up. He began to sob. The rest of us were too shocked. Did we... Did we just lose a friend?

Fluttershy began to inspect Rarity, but by that point, my assistant was too engulfed in rage. His body began to twitch as he began to grow in size. His teeth and spines began to sharpen.

In a matter of moments my young drake had turned into teen if not adult dragon. His eyes showed pure hatred and anger as he glared at Mayhem, who stepped back a little before making his ground.

"That was... surprising..." Mayhem muttered, right when Spike's massive fist cut him through the jaw. Mayhem staggered back, before being pummeled into the ground by the massive angered dragon.

"Oh am I missing out on something?"

We turned around to see none other than the Lord of Chaos himself.

"Discord! Please help Rarity! Please!" Fluttershy said, grabbing onto Discord's waist. He looked a bit shocked when he saw Rarity. He scratched his chin.

"Well I guess since my best friend Fluttershy..." Discord said, hugging Fluttershy and stroking her mane. "... asked nicely, I suppose I could help!" Discord said, before placing his hands on Rarity, her wounds healing. She immediately got up, screaming. It took her some time for her to realize that she was safe on the ground.

"Oh! Oh! My that shocked me!" Rarity said. She looked and saw Spike battling Mayhem. "Is that Spikey-Wikey?" Rarity asked. I nodded. The shock that had engulfed all of us now had faded, anger now fueling my fire even more.

"He's fighting Mayhem... though I don't know how long that'll take." I said, my voice filled with hatred. My friends were a bit shocked by my dark tone, but they comprehended it quickly. First was the fire that he probably caused as he crashed landed near Ponyville. Then was his threat of separating us. Then was the battle that he caused us to fight. Then Rarity begin severely injured. And now Spike was at the risk of being seriously injured as he fought Mayhem.

"I don't think we should worry about Spike. He seems doing pretty fine." Applejack said, seemingly responding my last comment. I saw as Spike continued to strike Mayhem again and again, giving the dark purple dragon little time to even respond. Things seemed to be turning around when suddenly Mayhem caught Spike's next attack.

"I forgot how powerful you Equestrian Dragons are. Shouldn't had overestimated your kind." Mayhem said. He looked and saw some blood leaking out of the corner of his mouth. He wiped it off. "I also forgot how pain felt like. It's such a strange feeling after all of this time fighting unopposed." Mayhem said. Spike aimed another attack, but Mayhem dodged it with ease. "But then yet again it was my own ignorance of believing how weak this world is." Mayhem said. The ground began to shake again. "And yet I am correct! I have not even reached in the hundreds in the scale of power, and yet I feel it. The desperation in your attacks." Spike continued to attack Mayhem, but he dodged it with ease, sometimes even taunting Spike by closing his own eyes. "I believe it's time to finish this round and move to the next." Mayhem said as he flipped himself backwards, hitting Spike away with his legs. The force was so powerful that Spike skidded all the way back towards us. Spike panted, many bruises over his body. We knew it before Spike reverted back into his smaller younger self. He had lost.

Mayhem stepped in front of us, only for Celestia, Luna and Cadence intercepting him in his path. His gaze shook them a bit, but they remained firm.

"I am afraid that you're blocking my path." Mayhem stated. "it would be good enough for you three to move out of the way." Mayhem said. Lightning sparked from a nearby cloud. Celestia stared back at him.

"What real purpose do you have in getting her. What was the reason for you to invade our lands, causing suffering here? Already the dead are being counted. Because of you, Equestria will suffer." Celestia stated. To prove her mark, she turned around, making us turn to that direction, just to see one of the dark figures go and slice a mare's neck, cutting through her jugular vein. She fell onto the ground, twitching like a fallen animal, before letting out a last breath before dying. Celestia gazed at Mayhem, glaring at him. Mayhem glared back.

"That is no work of mine. It is a shame that those that call themselves immortal become as or even lesser than mortals themselves." Mayhem stated. Rainbow Dash appeared in front of Mayhem again.

"Hey that's no way to treat the Princesses that way!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Mayhem grabbed her and threw her away.

"It is very rude to appear in front of one's face without permission." Mayhem stated. He then stared back at the Princesses. "I contain more power than anything that you can imagine. More than Discord. More than Tirek. More than all your power combined. And even more power than the Elements themselves. You all saw that. I am basically ... invincible."

Discord suddenly appeared in front of Mayhem.

"Excuse me good sir... did you say... invincible?" Discord asked. Mayhem nodded. "Then care to explain this?" Discord said, snapping his fingers. Suddenly a massive hammer hits Mayhem in the face. When the hammer retracts, Mayhem's face has some small bruises.

"What was that supposed to be for?!" Mayhem said, clutching his face. Discord grinned.

"It was to prove that you're not invincible!" Discord said, laughing. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence faced towards me. Before the ball of magic even formed, I knew what their plan was.

As the energy of all the alicorns in the world mixed with my Harmonic power and Burning form, my power began to sky rocket. My heart was going faster than ever as the energy mixed inside of me. A massive light engulfed me before settling down. I now contained a ton of magic, at my disposal. I growled at Mayhem. All of Equestria was at risk because of him. I flared my wings, which grew considerably large.

"Go Twilight!"

"Show that ruffian whose's boss!"

"We believe in you!"

I smiled at my friends, before going to face Mayhem.

"Hey Raven!" Mayhem yelled. The huge dark bird from before appeared on his shoulder. "Give this spell charmer... our answer..." Mayhem said. The bird nodded before lifting itself to the air, changing itself to a blue pegasi.

"So you think you got friends it high places huh." Raven said. I growled, firing a beam at the pegasi. It passed through him like nothing. He simply shook his head. "With the power to put us on the run?"

Mayhem face claws himself.

"Please... we don't really have time for an instrumenta-

(For the Instrumental please go to Fimfiction or look up 'Playing with the Big Boys Now' Rock Version)

"I flip you the bird Raven... I flip you the bird..." Mayhem muttered as he examined the place around him. Thanks to Raven's demonstration, which consisted of explosions, spells, more explosions, charms, and more explo- get the idea; The place was wrecked basically. Raven just grinned.

"Oops!" Raven said. I growled.

"That's enough!" I yelled, before flying at him at massive speeds, trying to punch him. Raven flew high into the sky before crossing his wings, each one producing a tiny orb of energy. As he flapped his wings, each orb released a ray of energy, many of them hitting my body, causing me to scream in pain. My magic healed it instantly, but all the energy I used to have was starting to drain.

"Let's finish this!" Mayhem roared as formed a energy ball. As I looked around, more ponies continued to die. Massive comets continued to fall everywhere. Terror filled my eyes as one such comet flew and started to head towards my friends.

"Twilight!"

BAM!

A massive explosion took place, rock and rubble flying up into the air. I saw a tiny spark a shield trying to protect themselves, but the object simply broke through. I didn't had time to scream, to see if they were alive, as the massive orb that Mayhem created was now in front of me.

"Final Flash!"

And then the world went white a moment, before everything became dark...
