Mind games

Discord really was enjoying himself; the volcanoes erupting in the background are a nice touchhe thought to himself as he surveyed the battlefield before him. Arrayed against him was a vast horde of enemies who had somehow gained access to his prison.They really lack common sense coming in here, I’m a god of chaos do they really think that they can subdue me inside my own mind?Next to him stood his faithful student in the ways of chaos, her name was Screwball and Celestia had given him leave to invite her inside his head to help fend off the Cerberus troops who seemed so eager to throw their lives away. With an errant thought he turned the ground underneath an approaching group into boiling chocolate and listened with delight as they died screaming in pain as the chocolate seeped into their pores, being evil really had its perks.

“My turn Master Discord? Screwball asked excitedly bouncing up and down in excitement like a puppy; Discord favored her with a delighted look before he said.

“Why yes I do believe it is my dear, do please go ahead.” With an ecstatic shout Screwball turned the rocks surrounding the approaching Cerberus troops into tiny grenades, which exploded in large pink explosions throwing acid based cotton candy in all directions. “That was well done my student; the fact that it dissolves them slowly enough for them to watch is a nice touch.” Screwball practically glowed with happiness. Discord extend his hand and asked “Shall we?” Screwball took his hand in her hoof and together they walked into the enemy formations. Once they entered Discord began to sing, a thumping bass came on in the background.

Oh look at all of you who believe that you have power
Well how do like this molten chocolate shower

Immediately the soldiers around him were drenched in burning chocolate falling from large black clouds. They writhed on the ground as the chocolate burned through their skin leaving long black sores in its wake.

Frankly you have around the strength of a kitty
And what I’m going to do to you won’t be pretty
So I suggest leaving my domain
Otherwise it will be your heads decorating my doorframe

As he sang he cheerfully decapitated ten of the Cerberus troops with one hand just to make clear his point, oddly it didn’t seem to take.

Yet you march on like ants to the slaughter
Well let’s see how you like dying of laughter

A purple gas began to seep up from under the ground among the ranks of the Cerberus troops causing any who breathed it in to fall over on the ground laughing hysterically until they died of asphyxiation. He really needed to thank the clown for that one.

I’ve reached a foregone conclusion
Thanks to your own stupidity you won’t back down from this intrusion

Before he could sing another verse Screwball tapped him on the shoulder and respectfully asked if she could sing a verse or two, Discord nodded and she broke into song. Her tune was much harsher then that of her master’s almost as if she were trying to chew into the enemy with her words.

You are all such fools
To believe yourselves to be anything but tools
his is the mind of Discord
So I suggest you be wary of falling harpsichords

On cue the five suns of Discord’s mind were blotted out by an onslaught of harpsichords which fell to earth at incredible speed killing dozens of soldiers indiscriminately. Discord nodded his head in approval and motioned for her to carry on.

What is most apparent
Is that you’re far too complacent
Killing you makes me wish I was imprisoned in stone
At least then I would have the opportunity to atone
Instead I have you to deal with you
I wonder if you would like some eels to teach you to count to two, no better yet they’ll make you blue

Out of thin air hundreds of green eels who sprouted wings and wrapped themselves around the throats of the Cerberus troopers who struggled pathetically to remove their tormentors.She really has improved; her control is impeccable Discord thought as he watched the Cerberus troops struggle feebly.

Do you know what’s more
You haven’t witnessed all that we have in store
Cats can be bats can be rats can be hats can be gnats
You know I do feel the urge for a baseball bat

A large blade covered baseball bat appeared and she took it up eagerly before running into the enemy with reckless abandon leaving a long trail of bloody broken bodies behind her. It wouldn’t have worked if she wasn’t in his mind, but he suspected that she knew that which is why she was taking the opportunity to enjoy herself. To amuse himself in-between lyrics he decided to do a little dance, suddenly a trooper actually got close enough to him to actually hit him with a shot of his gun. It bounced off of course, but it was quite annoying all the same. In his deepest best guard’s voice he leaned down to talk to the offending trooper and said.

“I’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the emperor’s groove.” The offending trooper was sent flying onto the air where he was quickly shot by several of his floating jellyfish. “Emperor of Chaos and Disharmony that is.” He said to another trooper who he also sent flying for good measure, after all he was an equal opportunity kind of guy and didn’t want to see anypony feel left out. Screwball walked up behind him after getting bored with her giant bat which she had left sticking out of a Cerberus trooper’s head. “Did you have fun?” Discord asked her.

“Yeah but there are so many of them, I don’t think I can create enough inventive ways to kill them all without being repetitive.” Screwball said with a regretful look that broke a little piece of Discord’s heart.

“Fear not my faithful student we have millions if not trillions of ways to end their pathetic lives.” Discord told her bringing a smile back to the mare’s face before they once more stepped forth into the fray.

Celestia woke up and groaned, the sun was still up, now that her sister was at the very least conscious Celestia could return to her habit of sleeping through the day. Her guards had been wondering about it one day after Luna’s restoration thanks to the Elements of Harmony, smiling she had told them. Every time somepony said her name she became instantly aware of it and the situation around whoever had uttered her name, which made sleeping at night extremely hard, she let that sink in. The guards had blushed and asked if they could be excused, Celestia had just nodded sagely and smiled. Now though she accepted the fact she wasn’t going to be getting any more sleep for the day and pulled herself out of bed and walked down to the main dining hall to discover what the cooks had to spare.

“Princess Celestia I have awful news!” cried a messenger who was running towards her as she came out of the dining.

“What is it?” she asked concern coloring her voice

“Ponyville has been the sight of a massive attack; there are apparently several hundred enemy troops surrounding it and for the most part the inhabitants are defenseless against such an assault!” Celestia was shocked, who had thought that Ponyvill of all places required several hundred troops to overwhelm?

“How recent is this news?” Celestia asked the messenger.

“It is approximately one hour old your majesty.” The messenger replied

“Thank you take the rest of the day off, I need to talk to my commanders about this situation.” The messenger hurried away, Celestia sighed so much for trying to get back to sleep, now she had an actual war to fight.

AN
I don’t actually know much about Screwball so I hope you like my interpretation. In other news who’s up for the battle of Ponyville
