Chapter 10: Chaos Discord!

Shining and his pals took their time but soon all the doors are put back into their original areas, the color is returned to the land. The gang then goes to the last door which is the Christmas one with Discord's face.

The group came to a circle of seven trees; each one had the Holiday Doors, the last one having the Christmas Discord one. Shining nods as he said, "All right, this is the last one."

The gang put the Christmas Door into place, causing the last Discord one to shatter, allowing the door to go onto the tree. It opens up, though nothing happens at first. Lorcan asks puzzled, "Well?"

"Give it a moment." Twilight said, recalling the last time that she and Shining thought that nothing happened at first.

Sure enough, a gust of wind came out of the door and sucks them all in. As the Christmas Door closes behind the heroes, they, minus Shining and Twilight

The Mayor works on helping Luna unlock the remaining cages. They have some extra help from Bugs Bunny, the Holiday Leader of Easter whose the Diamond Dogs has kidnapped by mistake before and whom they released first.

"Thanks for helping us despite the false kidnapping." Luna said to Bugs.

"No problem, Luna. I may have been spooked by the corpses and Diamond mutts, but there's no way that this rabbit can stay out of this rescue." Bugs said with a chuckle. The second cage is soon unlocked. "Okay, Turkey, you're saved now."

"Hey, thanks." The Turkey (from the Muppets franchise) said with a goggle.

"So who's next?" Luna asks with a nod to see which Holiday Leader to free first.

A pink haired fairy with wings named Cupid waved, saying, "Hey there, in here!"

"Yes, of course." Luna said as she fires a blast at the locking, freeing the fairy from his cage.

"Thank you, it's cramped in there. It's like I am doing this role again in another fanmake, you know?"

"Okay, you're next Lucky." The Mayor said as she and her group works on releasing the Holiday Leader of St. Patrick's Day, Lucky the Leprhecaun.

"Thank yew, lad. Just make sure not to go after me Lucky Charms." Lucky said with a smile, then pauses. "Why did I feel like I said that already, lads?"

"We don't know, it's hard to imagine." Luna said as the group unlocks the next cage, much to Lucky's approval.

"Thanks. We just need to unlock the last one."

"Yep, hard to believe four maroons are sharing the job as the Holiday Leader of Independence Day." Bugs chuckles as he nods to Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Adams and George Washington, all of them are sharing the job. "Amazing, ain't it?"

"You better believe it." Lincoln comments as the last cage is finally unlocked.

"Shining, friends; I did it, I rescued the Holiday Leaders!" The Mayor exclaims with a smile at the task well done.

"We did all the work, doc." Bugs points out to the Mayor in annoyance. He hates it when folks steal his hard earned work.

---

The group lands in what some of them know as Christmas Town. What the gang saw surprised and shocked them. There are a lot of elves preparing for the Holidays...but the shock part is that some of the places are a wreck.

"We're here in Christmas Town again, but what happened to this place?" Fluttershy ask her friends in concern.

"Oh dear, something terrible has happened." Rarity said in concern.

"We gotta hurry!" Shining exclaims in concern. Discord has already been here, Oswald is in grave danger.

"We better help the elves first." Twilight suggests to her friends with a nod. The group needs to help the elves out with the problems before going after Oswald.

The group help the elves out as fast as they could. Once the heroes are done, they go inside Oswald's workshop where two elves, in red and one in green, came up to them. Spike begins to ask, "Hey, you two seen..."

Suddenly a familiar voice laughs evilly, "Ho ho ha ha ha ha ha!" Merry Christmas, fools!" The group turns to see Discord, the real one, in Oswald's sleigh, laughing evilly. But where's Oswald?"

A green elf looks up and gasps in horror, "Oh no! What's Oswald doing up there?!"

"What do you mean up there?!" Lorcan asks in alarm upon hearing that. The gang looks up and saw another shocking sight: there's Oswald, tied up in a rope while being hang in a hook over a railroad track.

Oswald struggles while demanding, "Put me down right now or I will blow my top! I will!"

"OSWALD!" Shining gasps in horror. What is Discord planning on doing to Oswald?!

"No, Oswald Claus!" Golden Heart gasps in shock and worry. This doesn't look good.

The gang heard whistling, turning to see a train coming right out of a tunnel, made in the sinister chaos fashion of Discord, and to make things worse, there's a huge knife right in front of the thing! The heroes realize what's going on, Discord is planning on dropping Oswald right after the train itself cut the rope that is out on the tracks.

Right now though, the train goes off in a different direction. Discord laughs, "Ho ho ha ha ha ha! Well, Shining, Oswald and friends? What will you all do now? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Yes, this will be fun to watch, it's payback time."

"We got to get Oswald down! But how," The red elf ask in worry. The two elves can't reach their boss and who knows if Shining and his pals can reach the rabbit in time?

Shining did some thinking then said, "Hmmm...perhaps if we were to change the tracks, we can buy Oswald some time then we gotta stop that train."

"Right, listen, you guys stop that train, we will free Oswald." Pinkamena suggests to her friends with a grin.

With that, most of the group begins their assault on the train while Golden Heart and Pinkamena work on saving Oswald from his tied up problem. Another song begins to play as this happens.

Shining: Oh no! Oh no!
There's trouble everywhere!

Twilight: Oh no!
There's smoke clouds in the air!

Golden Heart: Oh no!
I can't believe my eyes
We have to help them
Hurry guys, they wouldn't dare! Oh no!

Pinkamena: Oh no! Oh no!
There's something very wrong!

Rainbow: Oh no!
These things here don't belong!

Spike: Oh no!
The streets are lined with
Little creatures crying
All the others must be hiding
Christmas spirit is subsiding!
Oh no!
Oh no!

Rarity: The joyous decorations here
Are melting from the fire!

Fluttershy: No doubt the work of Discord!
Drat that no good liar!

Lorcan: There's fear in every window!
Oh, I can't believe my eyes!

Spike: And inside ourselves we feel to urge
To cut him down to size!

Rainbow: And there! Oh no!
His monsters have control!

Twilight: Look out!
It chills me to my soul!
No more!

Shining: They're gathering the presents to ignite them!
Don't they know who they are for?
Oh no!

Pinkamena: Oh no!
He's here! It's all part of his plan!
The nerve!

Lorcan: He's really gone too far!
This time!

Golden Heart: It's up to us to put a stop to this
Now is our chance we cannot miss!
This town's counting on us!

Twilight: So we must take charge and let them know!
The time is now
Fow them to go!
Oh where to start in such a mess!
Oh no!

Rainbow: Oh no, what now?
The peaceful town is ruined!

Fluttershy: And look, the Christmas tree is bare!

Rarity: Attacked! By someone, welcomed fiends!

Spike: I tell you I will snare them
And make sure they pay for their
Outlandish rude behavior...
Oh no!

Golden Heart: The cheerfulness is missing
And the wonder isn't here!

Lorcan: And in their place there seems to be
A paralyzing fear!

Pinkamena: Instead of songs, I swear
I just hear screaming in the air!

Shining: The stench of Discord
Is absolutely everywhere...
The ghosts, the ghouls!
They're everywhere and all around!
I've never felt so sad before!
This happy place in front of us is being trashed
So greedily, so greedily!

Rarity & Spike: It's tragic! Oh, it's tragic!
I can't stand and watch it burn!

Golden Heart & Pinkamena: We've got to save this Christmas Town!
And seize these monsters all about!

All: This must stop!

Soon the gang knocks the train right over the tracks, stopping it in time. Best of all, Golden Heart and Pinkamena are able to bring Oswald to the ground safe and sound.

"Whew, close one." Oswald said with a sigh. He looks up and looks shocked upon seeing the one stallion with the group that kidnapped him last year, "You again? Didn't you learn your lesson last year?"

"Oswald, wait, it's not..." Shining begins to say, feeling a bit worried and guilt-ridden. "I...I'm truly..."

"Don't blame him, Oswald. Shining has nothing to do with this." Twilight explains to Oswald gently. "Okay, maybe he and I left our home for a while which gave Discord the opportunity for his plan but my brother has nothing to do with this. Shining was trying to save you from Discord."

"Oh for the love..." Discord begins to say, slapping his forehead in annoyance, "Why can't anyone die around here! I mean, come on!"

"Give it up, Discord!" Spike exclaims with a frown. "All the Holiday Leaders are saved, the doors are put back into place, and we saved Oswald."

"Now give that sleigh back to Oswald at once!" Shining demands to Discords sternly.

"Right, I can't deliver any presents without it!" Oswald exclaims in agreement with his fellow Holiday Day. "All that entire year's worth of preparations will be lost."

"All the good kids around the world is waiting for Oswald!" The green elf agrees in worry.

Then something happens that caught Discord off guard and surprised the gang: they look up to see a familiar pink alicorn arriving in Shining's old sleigh, now fixed and better.

"Cadance," The heroes exclaims with smiles on their faces.

Just then two familiar figures came out, Bugs chops on a carrot while saying, "Eh, what's doc, Shin?"

"And Bugs with Luna," Twilight exclaims in surprise upon seeing Bugs. That must mean that the Holiday Leaders been freed!

"We have our own sleigh, Shining!" Cadance exclaims to Shining with a smile on her face. She lands the sleigh right onto the ground, getting out and coming over to Shining's group.

"Right, we can use the sleigh to chase Discord if he makes a run for it." Shining said with a smile. "All right, everyone, time we get him."

"Also, Luna and the Mayor had returned the Holiday Leaders to their rightful worlds."

"Right, would've gone myself but I wanted to help you guys out to make up for my arrival to Halloween Town the first time." Bugs explain to Shining and company. "Plus, to that maroon who kidnapped me, you realize this means war."

"All right, that's great news!" Twilight exclaims happily while hugging Cadance and Bugs. "Oh, this is going to be great, thanks! Now we just need to take care of Discord!"

"Uh, he's right there, we can get him now." Lorcan points out with a frown as he motions that Discord hasn't left yet.

"Ugh! Not that rag doll again! How many times must she get in the way of my plans," Discord scowls furiously. Quickly, he uses Oswald's sleigh to escape Christmas Town with the presents still in it.

"Spoke too soon, Lordcan." Luna said to Lorcan making the ghost dragon slap himself in embarrassment.

"Come on, Christmas will be ruined if we don't hurry!" Shining exclaims in determination. Discord must be stopped once and for all before Christmas is ruined.

"I managed to slip a Halloween present you gave me into Oswald's Sleigh." The red elf said to Shining with a smile. "It should activate during Discord's flight, scaring him and the reindeer big time."

"Nice work, time we get that big dumb meanie!" Fluttershy exclaims with a smile.

"Right, let's do this!" Spike exclaims as the group got into the sleigh with Oswald, then they flew right after Discord in hopes to put a stop to him once and for all.

"Ho ho ho," Oswald exclaims eagerly and in determination.

---

In the sky, Discord flew in the moon's light right in the sleigh. For a moment, the chimera didn't suspect anything...until the Halloween Present that the Red Elf put into the sleigh came to life. It make Discord yelp in alarm and fall right out of sleigh and out of the sky.

"Gah, no; Shiiiiiiingggggggg; you won't beat me this easily! I'm the Seven Holidays King!" Discord yells furiously. The villain of course didn't have time to stop his fall, but something did: him falling right into the center of a Holiday Junkyard. Discord got up, looking very VERY ticked off. "No! This cannot be happening; AAAAAARGGGGH!"

The villain begins to glow a dark purple aura, his rage builds up as he roars loudly, "Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Without warning, a lot of uncountable bugs and junk goes right into the glowing Discord, making him dark purple and causing him to grow like mad.

"Whoa, look!" Oswald gasps in shock. The group, who land the sleigh right near the area, turn to see a giant figure appearing right out of the Holiday Junkyard. It's Discord, but he appears to have fused with the trash and bugs of the place, making him big and vicious than ever. If there's a name for this form, it would be Chaos Discord!

"SHIIIIIIINGGGGGGGG!"

Discord madly causes the ground to shake twice by taking two stomps to his enemies. Twilight said, "Looks like Chaos Discord is ticked off."

"You think?" Spike asks Twilight sarcastically.

"Oswald, you get out of here. We will handle Discord." Shining said to Oswald in determination. The black rabbit is best if he stays out of harm's way right now.

"Right, Merry Christmas!" Oswald exclaims quickly as he prepares the Halloween sleigh for takeoff, "Ho ho ho and all that!"

Oswald quickly flew away in the Halloween sleigh as the group walk/trot towards Chaos Discord; this is it, time for the final showdown with every holiday at risk. As they stop, Lorcan spot two gas pipes that are broken, commentating, "Guys, I think I got an idea. Let's use those to our advantage."

The group goes to the second level, heading to one gas pipe. Chaos Discord goes towards them as Shining goes into his Zombie Pony King form and sent fire right onto the gas. An explosion occurs, damaging Discord some.

"YOU CAN'T STOP ME! TAKE THIS!" Chaos Discord roars as he send out random garbage right at the group who dodges them.

"Ick, this doc should've at least use his chaos magic or something instead of garbage!" Bugs exclaims with a frown on his face.

"There's some fires, come on, six of us will get them. We must keep doing this!" Twilight exclaims as she saw some notes.

Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike grabs the floating notes, expecting another dance off; During this time, the rest in Shining's group continues their strategy on the next pipe, causing another explosion.

Chaos Discord begins to get weakened as Golden Heart yells out, "Take this!" The heroes combine their attacks, sending their enemy right to the ground. It looks like this is it, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony has been defeated for the last time.

"Right, we did it!" Lorcan cheers on wildly. Looks like Chaos Discord has been defeated big time.

"Wait, don't celebrate yet..." Shining said with a frown. The stallion doesn't want to take any chances just yet.

Sure enough, Chaos Discord stood up...and the others look surprised to see that the villain has no injuries on him whatsoever! The fused villain smirks while saying, "Fools! I have been getting started!"

Chaos Discord slams right onto the ground causing some dust to fly. As the group gets ready for the final showdown once more, Luna exclaims, "It's time we end this! We shall use the notes!" The notes are placed as the final dance off begin.

"It's payback time!"

"Oh, is that all you've got to say?" Shining asks as he and his pals dodge Chaos Discord's chaos magic and his random garbage throwing. The villain then begins to sing.

Chaos Discord: Well, well, well!
What pests, you are!
Still around, huh?
Oh, can't say I like that!
So why don't you just give up?
You know, surrender!

Shining: It's over! It's over!
Your scheme was bound to fail!
It's over! You're finished here!
You're next stop will be jail!

Chaos Discord: They mock me! They fight me!
I don't know which is worse!
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughin' first!
Ha, ha, ha!

Shining now goes into his Oswald Claws outfit before tossing a few presents that exploded upon hitting Chaos Discord.

Golden Heart: What's this? A trick?
We're not impressed!
You're bad and now you're tall!
It makes it all the more worthwhile
To see a giant fall!

Chaos Discord: Talk, talk, talk! But I tell you
This giant's goin' nowhere!
If I were you, I'd take a hike!
There's danger in the air!

Woah-oh!

Luna: Whoa-oh!

Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh!

Pinkamena: Whoa-oh!

Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh!

Twilight & Spike: Whoa-oh!

Shining: I'm the only Zombie Pony king!

Shining send a lot of snowballs right onto Chaos Discord, hitting him before a large one hits the villain right in the face, much to Rainbow and Lorcan's amusement.

In Halloween Town, the citizens watch the scene through the fountain as the fate of the world depends on Shining and his group. Chaos Discord exclaims furiously, "Halloween Town is mine!"

"No, we won't let you have it!" Twilight exclaims to Chaos Discord furiously.

"Well aren't we confident?"

Shining turns into his Zombie Pony King form as the fight/dance off continues on.

Rarity: Well, we're feeling angry

Golden Heart: And there's plenty left to do!

Spike: We've fought your most unwelcome help

Shining: And now we're after you!

Chaos Discord: Even if you catch me
You could never do me in!
I'm ten stories high, and just as strong!
Which means I'm gonna win!

Shining: Whoa-oh!

Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh!

All: Whoa-oh!

Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh oh!

Shining & Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh!

All: Whoa-oh!

Shining: I'm the only Zombie Pony King!

Chaos Discord screams in pain as fire came right out of the ground and burns him like mad.

Cadance is seen elsewhere, looking worried and pray with hope that Shining and his friends can beat Discord. We can hear the stallion saying, "This ends here."

"I'm laughing to death!" Chaos Discord taunts Shining with a laugh.

"Oh, we can make that happen." Lorcan remarks madly. The big finish is coming up as Shining changes back to normal, singing next.

Shining: It's over! You're finished!
You'll never get away!
You? The Seven Holidays King?
That'll be the day!

Chaos Discord: How feeble! How childish!
Is that the best you've got?
You think that you're all heroes, fools!
But I think you are not!

"Is that so, doc?" Bugs ask the villain with an amused look on his face.

"I'm the Seven Holidays King!" Chaos Discord exclaims furiously to the good guys.

"More like the king of nothing!" Shining exclaims sternly to Chaos Discord.

"Time to finish you off," Luna said as the fight/dance off is to its close.

Whoooah!
Now it's time for you to see
What it really means to scare!
'Cause I'm a gamblin' Chaos Man
Although I don't play fair!

It's much more fun, I must confess
With lives on the line!
Not mine, of course, but yours, old friends!
Now that'd be just fine!

Whoa-oh!

Shining: Whoa-oh!

Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh!

Heroes: Whoa-oh!

Chaos Discord: Whoa-oh!

All: Whoa-oh!
I'm (he's) the only Zombie Pony king!

The final notes hit Chaos Discord yard, causing him to yell which echoes all over the place. Then something horrifying happened, this time to the villain. Chaos Discord's body to shake around then he gasps in fear and a lot of bugs become pouring out of his mouth, just like when he was defeated before!

"NOOOOOOO! NOT AGAIN, NOT AGAIN," Chaos Discord screams as more insects came right out of his body, much to some of the heroes' shock and disgust. His body begins to deflate as Chaos Discord groans, "My precious bugs, my precious bugs! My...precious...buuuuugs..."

"Happy holidays, Discord." Shining said to Chaos Discord with a smirk as the villain is about to deflate to nothing.

"Bah...humbug!"

Soon the only thing that remains of the Chaos Discord villain is his deflated body, crawling with insects. They stare at the sight while Lorcan remarks in disgust, "Ugh, I hope this is seriously the last time we take this creep on. Three times is my limit!"

Even Lorcan's pals agreed and hope that Lorcan is gone for good. Just then they heard familiar jingling in air, making them look up. Shining's group all smile as they exclaim, "Oswald!"

Author's note
All right, Discord is destroyed at last! The next and final chapter is coming up so don't miss it. Read, review and suggest.

This chapter has references to Julayla's own fanmake of the actual game.

The aftermath of Discord's death has reference to 'Christmas with the Joker' episode of Batman: The Animated Series. Ironically, a pal of mine did a fanmake of the same episode with Discord as the Joker though Twilight (in her Mare Do-Well identify) is in the role of Batman.
