Months of planning went into this single action...Months of headache and danger lead up to the setup of his plan and today amongst thousands of ponies would chaos finally begin to reclaim what is theirs.
Setup in the middle of Manehattan's Central Park was a large stage where all sorts of Stage hooves put up equipment belonging to a band. It had been in the papers...The up and coming band "Darkness Walking" somehow scrounged together enough money to use the park as their first Big Gig. Tickets were cheap enough so that everypony could afford it.
However, the actual intention of such an event was carefully kept from public view. Chaosmaster Zhaun, as he calls himself, led his cult of Discord Worshipping ne'er do wells through a time of decline following the short return of Discord and slowly rebuilt the group from ponies to money and finally they were able to bring chaos right in the middle of Manehattan. The cover was near perfect, Darkness Walking had a theme about the times when Discord reigned supreme singing about his mythos and his most tragic defeat by the hands of Celestia and Luna. So by the time anypony knew what was happeneing...It'd be far too late.
It was late in the night when the "Concert" would begin and a man in heavy black robes began to recite the bands typical opening.
"Tonite: we return to a past held in a grip of fear and domination. Where Ponykind was brought to its knees by a single being and his edicts destroyed any sense of order. Tonite we celebrate the creation of Chaos Incarnate his rise and eventual defeat by the Sisters of the Cosmos. Discord ruled with such a fervor that ponykind had no choice but to bow and wither under his gaze. He brought chaos eternal to this boring land but was shunt away by the 'Paragons of Harmony' The Princesses Celestia and Luna...But his legacy has said...That one day he shall return to once again bring about the Kingdom of Chaos in which life truly belongs too." What was said was the opening theme to the band's new album Entitled "Chaos rising."
A pair of Unicorns entered the stage and began a spell creating a thick fog over the audience, such a tactic was used to obscure the stage so the Band could bring about the illusion of just appearing on stage...However when the Fog was lifted there only stood Another unicorn with Red hair and self inflicted wounds scarred over covering his body. The crowd was silent until with a wretch and a sudden burst of magic the Unicorn was encased in sickly pale skin that seemed to reflect light around it and a pair of Tentacles sprouted his his shoulders tipped with a deadly scythe...He leaped into the crowd and upon landing sent several ponies flying in whichever direction by using his Tentacles as a blunt weapon of sorts.
"All Now fear and tremble at the might that is Chaos at its fullest!" The robed pony on the stage yelled out as several other monsters appear on differen't sides of the audience...These looked more like Ponies covered in armor made of flesh then actual monsters like that of Mirage..But their rending claws Cut through wood and such easily enough as Park property was slashed into pieces.

Wild and Circle left the Sigil, after her continued attempts at baking proved to be pretty much completely useless. She wasn't exactly in the best of moods at the time, despite Circle's admirable attempts to cheer her up. That thought, though, did manage to bring a small smile to her face. He always did try to take such good care of her, regardless of the situation.
If nothing else, the nicer areas of Manehattan were always a pleasure to walk through, even at night. Perhaps especially at night. The weather was just right, and the beautiful flowers and bushes planted along the wide streets gave the area a sweet fragrance. There was something ruining the ambiance, though...
"Ugh, that music coming from the park is just awful..."
Her ear flicked in annoyance. She didn't exactly find this "music", harsh and almost discordant, enjoyable. Hell, the singing was barely even recognizable as such, sounding more like the growls of some horrific beast of chaos. The crowds there were screaming their heads off, though.
"...Wait a moment..."
The cries of the crowd changed abruptly. While they still screamed with the same volume, what was once excitement had become terror. Now, it really was the growls of a horrific beast that she heard. She started galloping towards the park.
~~
A terrible scene met her. Ponies everywhere were screaming and running away from the centre of the destruction. Many would never run again, killed by the beast that was thrashing the remains of the stage where the band played. Some of its victims were hardly recognizable as ever having been ponies. Wild growled and charged forward, slamming into the beast.

At this point, Mirage was in full swing flinging some of the audience away with his tentacles and slashing at others with the scythe ends. He thrashed and roared and screeched and killed, reveling in the violence as the screams grew louder.
Whats this a pony with a back bone? he thought to himself as this brave soul charged him.
CRASH Wild Side crashed into Mirage and with a twist Mirage gripped onto Wild's leg as he flew across and into the make-shift Stage.

Circle stepped out of The Sigil, his saddlebags full of the food that would be feeding his household for the next week or so. He looked around at the city streets, not seeing Wild Side in immediate sight. She'd likely wandered off for a walk, so he wasn't about to worry himself over if she'd been abducted. Wild was a strong enough mare to fend off any typical thugs.
Still, the screams coming from a few streets over didn't sound like something he'd hear on a usual Manehattan evening. It was possible that she'd gone to investigate that, so Circle chose to follow suit, and trotted along the streets, humming to himself to drown out the noisy crowd.
Upon arriving at the source of the screams, their cause became a great deal more apparent to the unicorn. Several ponies were lying dead on the grounds around him, some torn apart, others seemingly killed from some sort of impact. There was only two ponies that he was focused on at the moment though. Wild Side, and the abomination of a pony that she'd just tackled.
"Wild! What in the world are you doing!?"

"Fighting a monster, what's it look like?!"
Wild was dragged along with the horror, both of them smashing into the last standing support of the canopy over the stage. They crashed through it, wood shearing from the force of the impact, bringing the last bit of scaffolding crashing down upon them. Wild pushed the monstrous creature away and crouched down, snarling.

Mirage ripped through the scaffolding as it fell down around him...The blood red "face" of the beast turned to Meet Wild's. The monstrosity spoke with a blood curdling tone that sounded a if two voices were stacked upon one another.
"You mean to stop me?" the beast straightened itself as two more appeared out of thin air all three exactly alike in shape. height and looks.
"You will find this is impossible." all at once the three copies lashed out with their tentacles aiming to cut into Wild Side using the Scythed ends.

Wild snarled as the scythes ripped and tore at her. They raked and scored against her hide, drawing lines of bright red...but only two. The figures that had appeared were illusions, she was sure of it. The stench of blood and death around her was almost overpowering, but the reek of decaying corpses emanating from the monstrous pony was clear, and it led back to the real one. She smiled, light glinting off her fangs, and leaped past the outstretched tentacles.

Wild seemed to be holding her own just fine against the demon pony, right up until it sliced part of her body with it's bladed tentacles. Still, she continued to fight on, and from what Circle had seen her do before, he was confident that she'd be alright, at least for the moment.
His attention needed to be focused elsewhere, namely, at the flesh-armored ponies that were destroying property and concert goer alike. They didn't appear to be as tough as whatever Wild was fighting, and he needed a decent field test to see how Glaive's training had worked out for him. The unicorn stood his ground as two of the ponies charged at him, no doubt intent on murder.
Once they reached him, Circle quickly opened a portal behind him, reopening the other side directly behind the two that had charged. As they looked ahead at the portal, unsure on whether to enter it, Circle's saddlebag opened, as he hastily withdrew two small pieces of paper, each with a runic etch drawn onto them. His levitation spell easily pinned one of each of them to the back of the armored ponies heads, as he activated them.
"Now, sleep."
The two ponies collapsed as the mind paralysis spell took effect on both of them. Circle was a bit overjoyed on the inside. He'd managed to end a fight, without any fatalities, even in this dire of a situation. His joy was short lived though, as another pony took advantage of the unicorn's momentary stillness, and smashed him across the back of the head with a piece of debris from the torn apart concert area.

Mirage saw the quick movement as it happened and the two other illusions disappeared leaving only Wild charging mid-air at Mirage...Quickly a bright blue flash pulsed out of its head shooting off a quick concussive magic beam from its forehead.
"You're outclassed!" The horror roared out as the magic flew straight for Wild

The burst of magic smashed into Wild Side with a palpable force and sent her flying into the air. She smashed down painfully. She pushed herself to her hooves and glared hatefully at the beast, her eyes glowing yellow as they reflected the moonlight. She lifted those golden eyes to the sky, and howled.
Her flesh began to roil and twist, her bones breaking as they lengthened and widened. The pain was intense, but with it came a feeling of power, of freedom that she could never have in her other, weaker form. Her fur grew longer and thicker, darkening as it did, forming into a shaggy coat. Her hooves cracked, splitting apart and forming into canine paws, and her muzzle lengthened, her already sharp teeth growing longer and crueler than before.
In surprisingly little time, the transformation was complete. The hulking wolf that stood where a small pony had previously stood threw back its head and howled once more. Wild's savage eyes fixed on the monstrous creature that was before her. With a snarl, she lunged, her teeth flashing.

Mirage took a single step back as Wild began to transform it was grisly but the abomination snarled in...Joy?
"Thiss will be fun..." He was tackled by the Fully transformed Mare-wolf and began to thrash his Tentacles trying to cut up its back as the Beast no doubt would try to tear up his own chunks of meat.

Wild Side grappled with the monstrous creature, her teeth ripping at it. She snarled as the creature's sharp-tentacles raked at her back, but her thick hide and shaggy coat proved much more durable than that of a pony, and the strong muscle beneath it even more so. The wounds she took were painful, to be sure, but hardly crippling.
The wolf and the monster broke apart for a moment, Wild Side kicking away with her powerful legs. She snarled, and horrific black ichor dripped from her fangs. Her eyes flickered to the side, and she dashed away. She tackled the pony that had bludgeoned her lover, and pinned him to the ground. In a quick snapping motion, she tore away his throat, and bounded off to confront the demon again.

Mirage wasn't exactly the most durable monsters to exist but those teeth REALLY hurt...His body dripped a black liquid and even now his natural regeneration was taking hold and the wound could be seen slowly closing Centimeter by Centimeter.
"You're an odd one" His voice sounded full of glee...As much glee an Abomination could muster.
Its face flashed blue for a moment and its tentacles positioned above its head before it lunged forward with a great roar and attempted to tackle and slash away at Wild Side.

Wild barreled into the beast, its tentacles wrapping around her. They grappled together, a ball of gnashing teeth and slashing claws. Wild yelped as deep cuts were scored into her side, but she fought out, grabbing and tearing at whatever she could reach. If she could sink her teeth in the monster's throat, she might be able to end it then.

Blood spilled and ichor flew as the two grappled for a moment and just then Wild bit into where Mirage's throat would be...If he was a pony. Green liquid poured out that tasted terrible and a sudden blue glow formed on Mirage's face as he tried to blast Wild Side in her face with a kinetic magic blast.
