My Little Pony Day Z is Magic

By RioGascar

Prologue

Discord wondered how many years had passed since those pesky ponies had locked him in the stone prison again as he stretched his arms after having them fall asleep for what felt like eons. He also wondered what pony was foolish enough to fight and argue to let him escape his prison. He had one his questions answered quickly when he saw the same 3 fillies that had helped him break out last time arguing and fighting. Old habits die hard I guess he thought to himself.

"Well now that I’m free again it's time to bring back a healthy dose of chaos." He said as he turned the garden into a botanist’s nightmare.

The three fillies that were previously fighting quickly dashed out of the area and went to go tell Celestia that Discord was free again. Applebloom was the first to get the door and used her back legs to knock on the door. Shining Armor answered it asking why they had knocked on the door. "Shining Armor uh some fillies were arguing near Discords statue and he broke out again we need Princess Celestia now!" the Cutie Mark Crusaders all said at once. "Princess Celestia is in Ponyville with Twilight to help with a celebration for Mayor Mare's hard work so I think we will need to contact Twilight and her friends." Shining Armor said as he walked down the stairs to the train station. "Get on board while I a cast a protection spell on the train so Discord can't mess with us." Shining Armor said as he guided the CMC aboard and got the conductor to start the engine up. "Wait I forgot the elements of Harmony conductor start it up and if I don't make it back in time leave without me." Shining Armor dashed off the train and bolted up the stairs to the palace. He entered the room where the elements were kept. As soon as he entered the room the doors shut behind him.

"Ah so you are Twilight Sparkles brother Shining Armor I heard that you were being tricked into a marriage with a changeling not the smartest bunch in the family I take it?"

"Forget it Discord I’m not falling for your mind games Celestia told me of your trickery and your mind games." Shining Armor had reached the magically locked door to the Elements of Harmony. He used the spell Celestia had taught him to open the doors and grabbed the box and sprinted towards the exit.

"Now now Shining did you really think you were just going to grab the elements and leave without a bit of chaos" Discord clapped his hands and turned the elements box into 6 boxes that each held one of the elements. Shining reached his hand out and grabbed one and opened the box. It was the element of Magic his sister’s element. He thought since he was skilled in magic just as well as his sister that he might be able to use it. He grabbed the crown and put it on his head wondering what will happen. A minute passed by and nothing had happened. He threw it off and put in his pockets of his royal uniform. He saw another one of the box flying by him and grabbed it. It held the element of Honesty he remembered that was her sister’s southern friend AppleJack element. He put the necklace in his pocket thinking he had told his fair amount of lies as did everyone else. He saw another one flying around one of the murals and leapt for it. He crashed through the mural, but he had grabbed the box and opened it as he hit the dirt ground. It held the element of Loyalty which was Rainbow Dash's element. He put it on figuring since he was always loyal to his baby sister it might work for him. After a minute passed the only thing he managed to do is get cuts from the glass and bleeding slowly. He took it off and stuffed it in his pocket. He thought about what elements were left and thought that none of those would work either and they would just be a waste of time. He grabbed the rest and quickly put them into his pockets and darted to train station. A he got close he saw the train was gone and that the entire palace was altered to look upside down. He knew the only hope to stop discord was get the elements to Twilight and her friends. He began to charge up his horn to teleport to Ponyville when suddenly his horn had disappeared.

"Ah well you won our little game, but I don't feel like going back into my little stone hotel just yet."  

"Do you know what it's like to be in a stone prison maybe I should give you the honorary tour of the statue let us begin with you turning to stone?"

Shining was suddenly lifted into the air against his will and was being pulled to the garden. After he arrived his pockets were picked and the elements were turned to dust. "Don't think we will need those where we are going now will we Shining Armor?" He then slowly made Shining Armor into stone as he protested and begged for him to stop and let him go.

"Let you go I think not you were the one who almost put me back in that stone prison so I think a little bit of revenge is in order for you and your little sister."

"Don't you dare touch Twi or I will do unspeakable things to you goat freak!"

"I don't think you’re in any condition to make threats or for that matter insults" "Think of it this way you will be the first pony in all of Equestria to be turned to stone won't that be an accomplishment for the books?" "Or maybe I could send you and the entire population to my own realm of chaos and anarchy"

"Do whatever you want Discord just leave my sister out of this you can kill me for all I care!"

"So be it then I will send all the inhabitants to Chernarus the land of anarchy and death have fun Shining Armor you will be the first to see this new land farewell!" Discord then clapped his hands and lights appeared around Shining Armor and surrounded him. The aura of lights surrounded Shining Armor and spun around him rapidly until he disappeared in a mist of smoke.

"Fillies and Gentle Colts we are here to celebrate all of Mayor Mare's hard work over these many years with Ponyville!" Princess Celestia said as she saw a train pull in from the station at high speed and 3 fillies depart from it.

"Princess Celestia we have a big problem Discord is back and Shining Armor is still at the castle trying to get the elements of harmony!" Applebloom said as she darted off the train and straight at the princess.

"Girls what do you mean Discord is back and where is my brother it can't take that long to get the elements?" Twilight said as she dashed up to the podium.

"Applebloom you better not be lying to us this is very serious business if you are lying you’re going to be grounded for a long time" Applejack said as she dashed over to comfort Applebloom.

"I'm not sis honest Discord is back and Shining Armor sent us to warn you guys he should have been back though."

"Twilight Sparkle we need to prepare for Discord before he arrives" Princess Celestia said as she talked to her royal guards.

"Ah Celestia I think it's too late for that now isn't it the guest of honor is already here."

"Discord I don't know what you did to my brother, but you leave my friends alone even without the elements we can still defeat you." Twilight knew she was telling a lie she just hoped Discord would buy it.

"Oh Twilight you know just as well as I do that without the elements I rule this land." "Now since I’m a fair element of chaos I’ll give you a chance to win this land backs in a little game of capture the flag" Discord said as he started to turn Ponyville into his own personal play thing.

"Very well Discord they accept your challenge Discord" Celestia said as she approached Discord to start this game.

"Ah I don't think you get the rules of my game and where they will take place"

"The first rule is a simple one no Wings or Magic"

"The second rule is every single inhabitant in Equestria has to participate in this little game"

"The final rule is my favorite one the 6 ponies will have to make it to the airfield by any means necessary"

"The objective of this game is as you might have guessed is to make it to the Airfield in Chernarus"

"Ready to play my little ponies?"

All the ponies agreed to the rules and were whisked away to Chernarus the land of Anarchy and Chaos.

A/N this is a re write of the first chapter or maybe the entire story all together. I did not like how I had structured the story together and wanted to also show how Discord became free from his prison while also explain the rules for everyone. I feel this re write was much better than the original and will be the starting point of My Little Pony Day Z is Magic.  The next chapter will focus on Twilight Sparkle's journey through the land of Chernarus.

And for anyone worried I might not have played the Day Z mod I have played it for many hours and after a while thought about this.

Next Chapter: Twilight's start Estimated time remaining: 42 Minutes
