Chapter 7: The Search for a King

The Search for a King

Disarray woke up in a strange bed, in a strange room, in a strange land. Across the room she could see Discord across the room still asleep. He was lying on his stomach with the blankets covering up up to his neck, his face was a bright red and he seemed to be mumbling something in his sleep that Disarray couldn't seem to hear. She threw a pillow across the room and it hit him in the face, then Discord's eyes opened quickly.

"I didn't do it!" He yelled with a gasp.

"Daddy! Get up!" Disarray called.

Once again Discord's face turned red with embarrassment. "That goodness the walls in this castle are soundproof..." He mumbled put his paw on his forehead.

"Daddy, where are we? And where is Mommy?"

"Oh! Um.... We are..... Well...." Discord tried to find the right words but nothing came out. Then he let everything slip out quickly. "We are in one of the bedrooms of the Sun Kingdoms castle the home of Queen Twilight Sparkle the pony I tried to capture many years ago because her daughter is missing as she was taken by her father King Sombra so I have decided to help out of the little goodness in my heart now as for your mother she is still at home because while you where sleeping we had a teensy argument and she got really mad so I decided it was best for her to stay home while you came with me!"

After that Discord took a deep breath, talking fast was not his best quality. Disarray raised an eyebrow.

"So she's home? Why did you have an argument with her?"

"Because.... I had heard Twilight sneaking out in the Everfree Forest last night. I forced her to get out of bed and kinda threatened her if she wasn't willing to obey. So she got angry and I called her a baby and that she needed to work, and I might have pushed it a little too far..."

"What did you do?"

"When I called her a foal I kept teasing her by putting a pacifier in her mouth, I also told her that she was being lazy and I took advantage of everything she did for me."

"Oh Daddy, you know how Mom hates it when you call her lazy, and putting a pacifier in her mouth? Even I would be a little angry if someone did that to me. Even after what apologizing to her last night for laughing at her...."

"Yeah, I sorta took back the apology when I laughed at her being angry and frustrated. I'm just glad you weren't awake to see it all happen."

Then there was a knock on the door. "Discord?" A sweet voice asked. "Are you awake?"

"Yes Twilight," Discord answered.

Disarray watched as a purple Alicorn walked through the door. She hid underneath the blankets so Twilight wouldn't be able to look at her.

"Is she awake?" Disarray heard the pony named Twilight ask.

"Oh she's awake alright, she's just a little shy." Discord answered.

Disarray crawled deeper into the blankets when she saw Twilight tying to peak at her. Suddenly the blanket was lifted up and Disarray curled up into a ball.

"Oh my!" Twilight exclaimed. "Well, she certainly takes her looks from both sides of the family. Come on sweetie, I'm not going to hurt you."

Disarray opened one eye and looked at Twilight. She certainly was an Alicorn considering her long horn and tall wings that flared out into the air. Her pale purple coat and pink striped mane gave her a very neat and friendly appearance.

"H-h-hi..." Disarray whispered.

"Hello yourself little one." Twilight answered warmly.

The Alicorn stared into the red eyes of the little Draconequus, she could tell Disarray was a little frightened by her, but who wouldn't be if you woke up in a new bed and another pony you hadn't seen before came barging in through the room.

"Are y-you going m-make m-m-me n-normal?" Disarray asked.

Twilight giggled. "No, I can't do that. Besides your definitely special."

"I...am..?"

"Yes, you are." Twilight answered.

Discord sighed as he looked at the young pony he once fell in love with talk with his little girl. It was amazing how she was so kind and gentle even though Disarray wasn't the most normal sigh in the kingdom. Twilight then turned to Discord.

"My friends are waiting in the library for you, I told them to prepare themselves for any 'surprises' you might make."

Discord chuckled. "Oh believe me, this will be a surprise they won't forget." And with a snap of his talons he vanished.

Twilight looked at Disarray. "Do you like to read?"

"Sometimes.."

Twilight used her magic to make some of her old picture books appear. "Here, you can read these until your Daddy comes back. Then I'll take you both out into the garden where you can play for a little bit. Does that sound like a plan?"

"Um, sure. Thanks for the books..." Disarray answered.

"Anytime sweetie."

Disarray eyed the books, Disarray eyed the books, rolling her eyes she pulled on of them closer and buried herself underneath the warm blankets. Using her magic her horn began to glow a pale blue and she levitated the book in the air and opened it to page one. When she saw the title, her eyes widened in awe.

"The Legend of the Chaos King!"


Twilight Sparkle entered the library and found her friends waiting for her. They gave her big, shining smiles and their familiar aura of happiness made the Queen beam.

"So, what's this so called 'surprise' you have?" Rarity asked with concern, giving Spike a pat on his head.

"Well actually-"

Suddenly a spark of golden smoke appeared in the center of the room, dark clouds formed with a sticky substance oozing onto the floor. With a flash a figure appeared in the room. When the smoke cleared, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy gasped. Even Pinkie Pie stared at the creature in the center of the room with her jaw hanging agape.

"Hello everypony! Miss me?"

"DISCORD!"

Rainbow Dash flew towards the Draconequus with her hooves in air. "What do you think your doing here? After what you did! You monster!"

"Rainbow stop!" Twilight cried. "I brought him here."

The blue Pegasus was quiet after that. "W-What....?"

"That's right......... Uh, Rainbow Crash was it?" Discord teased. "I'm here to help."

"Hey! It's Rainbow DASH you creep!"

"Rainbow! He's the only one who can help, nobody has magic so unique or powerful." Twilight continued. "He can really help us, I want my daughter back. And Sombra......"

"Now now little Princess," Discord purred. "No need to make this love story more dramatic then it already is. Moonlight would be in tears by now!"

He pulled out a handkerchief from behind his bat wing and wiped the fake tears away. Letting out a sigh he hovered in the air and tossed the fabric onto Pinkie Pie's muzzle. The pink pony cringed at the used material resting on her nose.

"Are ya sure it's alright ta trust him Twilight?" Applejack asked with worry. "After what he did, I don't know if I'LL be able to trust him EVER."

"I don't think we have a choice Applejack, he's already here, Sombra's taking over. If we don't find him soon, I fear WE will be the one's not to

be trusted."

Discord's ears perked up at the sound of that. A sinister grin formed on his face. He let out a quiet chuckle and turned towards Twilight. The purple Alicorn looked miserable.

"Come now Twilight Sparkle, just say the word and I'll get to work. Your wish, is my command."

"Alright," Twilight sighed. "We need to find Sombra and Star Shadow first. Is there anything you could do that could help us locate them?"

"Well, I can sense magical imbalances, maybe that would help?" The Draconequus offered.

instantly perked up. "Really! You can do that? That would be a BIG help, Sombra's using dark magic! You could sense the source of his power and we could save him and Star Shadow! Perfect!"

"Very well, could you tell me what specific type of dark magic he's under the influence of? It would allow me to track him much faster." Discord noted.

"Oh," Twilight sighed. "I don't know the answer to that. And I'm certain he isn't just going to tell me, uh, why didn't I think this through!?"

A hoof was placed on the Queen's shoulder, Twilight turned around to see Rarity smiling at her. "Don't worry darling, we'll solve this mystery together!"

The other four put their hooves together, Discord watched in confusion. What in Equestria were they doing? Twilight motioned for him to come closer. She nodded towards the group and then back at him. He held up his paw and looked back her. Twilight nodded in approval. Discord placed his paw in the center of their circle. And the group of friends broke away.

"TOGETHER!"
