My Little Pony: The Glitch

Chapter 2: Chaos and glitches don't mix well

In the last chapter, we left off with the mane 6 watching Discord running away from an entity no one has ever seen before.

"THIS ISN'T RUNNING AWAY!"

Discord burst through a wall made out of cheese wearing a football helmet, a knight's metal chest plate, and...a pink tutu?

"It's called a strategic retreat!", He clarified as he deadpanned, "and if you're wondering why I'm dressed up like this, you can blame that glitching monstrosity."

Suddenly his ears perked up as he gained a nervous look on his face, "Speaking of which, I got to go!"

Discord then cowardly ran away-

"STRATEGIC RETREAT!"

Just as the entity crashed through the wall a moment later, however, it looked different from before. It is now bigger than last time and the color of its eyes change to neon orange.

It let out a static and unclear noise as it turned to where Discord went before it sprinted after him.

A few moments later 6 colorful talking ponies arrived, panting as they stopped to take a breather.

"This is...getting us...nowhere...", Twilight Sparkle panted as she tried to regain her breath, being a unicorn, she doesn't have much physical stamina to continue running.

"Your right...we need...a better...plan.", Rarity agreed with her friend.

Rainbow Dash dropped to the ground to give her wings a bit of time to relax," I still don't get it! How can those two be faster than me! It's impossible! And every time I do manage to catch up they start running again!"

"Ah'm more surprised that Discord is running away from that thing. Isn't he supposed to be the Spirit of Chaos?", Applejack noted what everyone else was thinking as well.

"Yes but we all saw that Discord's powers do not affect it it looked like it was absorbing his magic. Maybe that's why he is trying to escape.", Twilight pointed out as she recalled several moments when Discord would constantly try to stop the entity with little to no success.

Rainbow Dash smirked, "Ha! That'll teach him not to mess with our world! About time he gets what he deserved!"

"I wholeheartedly agree with you Darling," Rarity nodded her head before pointing out the obvious," but we still don't know what that thing is or if it's our ally."

"Well...It seems t-to only be focused on D-discord...and we haven't seen it harm anypony.", Fluttershy stuttered.

Applejack agreed with the yellow pegasus," That's true but we can't be too careful. We don't know much about the fella...other than the fact it can't be harmed by anything."

Twilight let out a sigh as she tried to make sense of their situation, "This job of ours is getting harder and weirder by the minute...but I am sure once we turn Discord back into a statue we can deal with that thing and everything should settle down. As long as we are together, we can do this!"

It was then that the girls noticed something...and that something is the lack of noise from their hyperactive pink friend.

"Wait, where's Pinkie?!?!", Twilight and the others looked around desperately for any signs of Pinkie Pie," Where did she go?!?"

A few seconds later Rainbow Dash spotted a familiar pink puffy tail peeking out from a corner of a building.

"There she is! I found her!"

The 5 ran over to their pink-colored friend as she stood still while she stared at something with her blue eyes.

The first to arrive was Rainbow Dash, "Pinkie! What are you standing around here for? Come on, we still have to go find Discord and...that...thing...", Her words died in her throat when she turned to where Pinkie Pie was staring.
