My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Discordian Troubles

Chapter 22

Let Chaos Begin…

The last of the spires protruded out of the ground, finishing Discord’s new castle. He set it up back where this all began; Celestia’s and Luna’s ruined hometown located in the Everfree Forest. And it’s not like it wasn’t lost forever; Halo, Twilight, and the CMC found it while investigating why it became what it was.

Discord stood on top of his new palace with that tube he was tinkering with and evilly laughed. The Pentagram in his forehead glowed yellow for a moment.

“Hahahaha! Now when Celestia meets her end, this world will truly once again belong to the Draconequus!”

“(n-no!)” a voice from inside yelled. “(I’m not gonna let you do this!)”

Discord felt a attack come from inside his body. And it wasn’t that Cosmos jerk. He was still locked away. “Grr… figures you’d try to fight this.”

“DISCORD!!!”

Discord anticipated that voice and looked out to the horizon.

Far off in the distance, fast approaching his new palace, was the Orion. It flew as fast as it never flew before, exceeding it’s speed limit exponentially. Everyone onboard was ready to take this bastard out, for the world… and for Eris. Whatever the cost, he was going to pay.

The ship zoomed over the trees and shot straight for the palace.

Discord laughed at their futility. “They never learn.” he snapped his fingers and watched the show.

Towers around the palace lit up and small orbs of light lit up on the tips.

Laser bolts shot out of the orbs and towards the ship.

“Nice Try.” Satoshi snickered as he pressed the big button.

The main cannons powered up and fired. The blast cut though the lasers fired and hit one of the towers. It didn’t blow up but instead caused it to spark. The tower suddenly blew up on it’s own, passing the spark onto the other towers which also exploded.

“huh. Can’t believe that worked.”

The Orion rolled to the right, avoiding a attack from Discord himself. The engines flared and the ship shot up into the clouds.

Discord snarled and used his powers to send the clouds away. It didn’t matter to them as the Orion came falling it, firing it’s cannons. The shots struck against the palace, destroying a large amount of the structure.

The ship banked left and turned around the palace before heading back out a ways.

“ICE BITE!”

Jax shot a icicle shaped like a sharks mouth towards the Draconequus but he just deflected it like a badass. The attack shattered into bits and melted.

The Ship slowed down and turned around to face the palace. Though they were at least 5 miles apart, Discord and Celestia stared each other down.

Discord laughed at their futility once again and snapped his fingers again. “game over, Celestia.”

The main tower to his palace opened up, revealing a large cannon inside it. It fired at the ship. Orion strafed to the right, avoiding the blast, and fired it’s main cannons at the enemy cannon. It hit, causing it to explode.

Discord covered himself from the blast and snarled.

End Song.

The Orion’s engines flared and it flew to the tower.

Discord scoffed and snapped his fingers. Lightning shot down form a cloudless sky towards the ship but they planned for that.

“WINDY SHIELD!”

“BARRIER!”

Both the earth and Slayers members of the group cast protection spells and sent the lighting back to sender. It struck Discord, electrocuting him but he seemed to enjoy that.

“Hahaha! Is that the best you can do?!” the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony called out. He snapped his fingers again.

A large sticky tongue shot from below and hit the Orion’s bottom hull. Jax looked to see a giant frog holding the ship in place. “Oh, no you don’t.” she grabbed one of her chakrams and engulfed it in electricity. She pointed it to the tongue. Lightning shot out of her chakram and struck the tongue, sparking down it and electrocuting the amphibian. The frog disintegrated into darkness, letting the ship go loose.

The Ship turned to the right so that it’s left could attack when needed. Grappling hooks shot out of two of the cannons and hit the palace’s tower. The humans jumped on and skidded on down it.

“oh no you don’t.” Discord snared, snapping his fingers yet again.

A dark portal opened up in their path and fireballs shot out towards them. Everyone pulled their weapons and cut right though them with ease.

Discord summoned up a blade and had it cut though the rope. The humans were close enough to where they can jump off and landed on top of the palace. The ponies and dragons followed suit and landed right them.

Those not willing to fight or too injured or too lazy to do so stayed back to keep an eye on the ship.

“Good luck, guys.” Sora pleaded, wishing her bum leg was healed already.

Discord appeared in front of the group along with a Cerberus. The 3-headed dog snarled and charged at them. Gourry drew his Sword of Light, spun it around a few times, then cut right though the doggie, causing it to disintegrate into darkness.

End Song.

Discord chuckled as he looked down at the group.

“well… this was to be expected. Me, Celestia, Luna…” Discord reached into his body and pulled out the black pearl. “…And Cosmos, all together again after 2000 years. Once the best of friends, now the worst of enemies. And all because some clueless princess failed to open her eyes to see who she kissed. Oh, bravo Celestia. Bravo. Really smart.”

Celestia grunted in pain when he said that. “Dis… you don’t have to do this, please. Think about what your doing! You’re sending the world into chaos all for some kiss.”

Discord scoffed. “not just because of that.” he snapped his fingers, summoning up the tube he was with. “so the world can return to it’s natural state.”

“Natural state?”

“yes. As you recall, our parents went to war for complete control over the world and last I checked, the dreadful Alicorns won. I plan to reverse that and bring back the Draconequus! After that, the world will return to what it was supposed to be!” the tube glowed, making him smirk. “and I won’t be doing it alone.”

He hovered over to the side, revealing a Alicorn within. Celestia saw it and gasped. “no…”

Discord evilly chuckled. “Recognize her, Celestia?”

“E…Erys…”

“that’s right. Erys is to be the vanguard in my war to reclaim the world for the Draconequus.” he sat back on a invisible couch. “but… I am surprised you weren’t able figure this out in the first place.”

“figure what out?”

Discord chuckled and snapped his fingers. The tube glowed and copied into 2. One contained the original Alicorn and in the other… was the familiar form of a recently deceased Draconequus.

Dash gasped when she saw who it was. “Eris!” a sudden realization hit both her and Celestia.

Discord laughed evilly. “that’s right. The baby Draconequus Dash had been raising all this time was, in fact, your daughter, Celestia. And I’m surprised you weren’t able to figure it out. They had the same eyes and all. But… you already knew that, didn’t you Dash?”

Celestia turned to Dash. “what’s he talking about?”

Dash opened her mouth but nothing came out the first time. “I… I had a suspicion back at the Tome that Erys did come to our time, just in a different form because Dis said she had plans for her. I had the feeling but I… I didn’t want to believe it.”

A dumbstruck Celestia looked away. Why would she keep this a secret? “oh, how sad, Celestia. Even the Element of Loyalty has some secrets and the biggest one was taking your daughter.” Celestia snarled at Discord and powered up her magic. “A-bab-bab.” he snapped his fingers and summoned up a trigger. “one wrong stop and both Eris’s go boom. You think I’m gonna play fair? As if.”

the Pentagram on his forehead glowed, getting Celestia’s attention. “Dis, stop this. This is not you and you know it.”

Discord scoffed. He bounced the pearl up and down in his hand. “Dis… died a long time ago.” he raised the pearl high, ready to smash it against the ground.

“NO!”

Suddenly, a wolf jumped up and bit Discord’s trigger hand. “Ugh!” he tried to swing the wolf off but it bit tight. Fenrir bit in deeper, drawing blood and forcing Discord to let go of the trigger. Cobalt swooped in and clutched the pearl out of Discord’s hand.

“Nice going, you two!” Ash called out.

Discord grabbed Fenrir by the neck and tossed him to the ground. The wolf yelped in pain as it skidded to the group. Cobalt flew in and dropped the pearl into Ash’s hand.

“Good to see you two aren’t going to be lazy during our entire stay.” he said.

“now… how do we release him?” Ash asked, holding the pearl up to the sun.

Discord laughed. He may have lost the trigger and the pearl but they still can’t do anything. “You can’t. the prison can only be opened by me. And I’m sure as hell not going to let that bastard Cosmos loose.”

Jax angrily looked to him and summoned her chakrams into her hands. “Then we’re gonna make you open it.”

Discord laughed and hovered in mid-air. He took up a battle pose similar to a certain insane clown. “Try me.”

Jax chuckled as one of her chakrams coursed with energy. “I was hoping you’d say that.” everyone drew their weapons and pointed them to the Draconequus.

Discord lightly chuckled. They were really gonna fight him. Well, better then being bored. He snapped his fingers as always.

The ground beneath them shook and split open, causing a rock spire to come out beneath them. They all tumbled over the side of the spire as it continued to grow.

“Is that all?” Spyro commented. He dug his tail into the spire and shattered it like glass. “Power of earth can really be useful.”

Lina landed on the flattop of what was left of the spire and fired a powered up fireball at Discord. The fire bounced off a invisible barrier and shot back to her.

Emil cut thought the fireball and made Lina jump off. He jumped after her as another fireball cut right though the spire’s remnants, destroying it completely.

Req flew at Discord from below and swung her sword at him. Discord blocked it with his fingers, elbowed Req in the neck, then kicked her right into the tower.

Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Chrysalis combined their magic and sent a powerful spell to Discord. It hit him and continued to go right by him right into the atmosphere. The Spirit struggled against the attack. The Pentagram on his forehead glowed again and Discord countered with a powerful attacked comprised entirely of chaos. It struck the royalty, sending them over the edge in pain.

“You can not kill me!” Discord bellowed. “I am chaos incarnate.” his barrier stopped an attack from Zel and Emil and sent them flying. “there is no possible outcome where you can defeat me.” dark clouds began to swirl under him then up to grab him. Discord welcomed it and let it wash over him.

“This… may be a problem.” Trixie gulped.

From a distance, Tsylatac, Orochi, and that girl watched the fight from a distance.

“I got 20 credits on Discord.” Ventus said.

“15 says that one of them dies.” Lucis said.

“I’ll get in on that.” the girl added.

Tsylatac kept quiet and just watched. “you haven’t been defeated before and you won’t now, will you… Requiem?”

Discord laughed into the air as the darkness took him over. “Darkness and Chaos combined. A potent combination that can rip the very fabric of the universe in two.” the Pentagrams glow reached a high point as darkness completely took him over. The wind picked up more, making the ship crash against the tower.

“this world shall be mine once more, and the universe will soon follow!”

End Song.

Darkness shot out from beneath him, making everyone cover their faces.
