Chapter 39: Don't forget Discord for the wedding... no wait don't
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHaving a wedding is stressful enough. Having one right before the next school year is something else. Don’t really know why Blake wanted to do the wedding so soon but really no one could say no. Zecora allowed them to use the gathering hall for the wedding and helped with the planning. With her and Weiss planning everything went pretty smoothly. Again Tak was an amazing help with building everything we need for Blake. The man just can do everything.
At the moment I was with Indigo as it was close to the wedding time along with Weiss and Tak, who both are wearing the clothes from the Gala, the same as I was. Hey good clothes shouldn’t be wasted.
“Where is she?!” Weiss growled, pacing back and forth. “Diana should’ve been here hours ago with the cake. Now it’s half a hour till then and still nothing!”
“Chill Weiss.” I told her, getting her attention. “Maybe she’s busy with other orders.”
“But I checked with her beforehand and she had nothing booked!” Weiss countered before crossing her arms. “Some baker she is, being late for the big day.”
“Weiss maybe Viri’s right, Diana could’ve gotten a last minute order.” Tak said, walking up to the stressed Schnee. As Tak said this, I glanced over to Indigo as he leaned against the wall in silence, his expression showing that he was completely nervous as he adjusted his tie every now and again. “She’s not one to miss a wedding.” I heard Tak add. Weiss frowned a bit before sighing.
“I guess… I’ll trust that she’ll get here beforehand.” Weiss said as she looked over at Tak. “I have to ask, has Diana’s friends showed up? Maybe they know what’s going on.” Tak shook his head before saying.
“No, Ruby told me that they haven’t arrived yet.” Tak answered her. Weiss tilted her head a bit.
“Okay… this is getting a little annoying.” Weiss said with a bigger frown. “I thought they would love to come but the fact none of them showed up is just rude.
“It’s odd for them not have shown, they seemed pretty excited when I handed them the invites a few days ago.” Tak mentioned as he crossed his arms, a look of confusion donning on him. We stood there in silence for a few moments before I spoke up.
“Look, as much as it sucks for them not being here, this is a big day and we should go on with it.” I looked over at Indigo with a smile. “Ready for your big day?” He looked at me nervously before closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths. Finally after almost a minute he nodded.
“Y-Yeah.” He said, adjusting the neck of his suit before heading out. We all looked at each other before heading out as well. After some last minutes preparations, we were all ready for the wedding. Yang, Ruby, Weiss and I stood on one side of the altar while Indigo, Tak, Ozpin, and one other fauns man sood on the other. Some music began playing as Zecora looked forward as the doors open to see Blake come in with a beautiful wedding dress. She walked down the alle with Qo, Iilah, Kaida and Strun behind her with flowers. I looked over at Indigo and saw him smiling brightly at this. When Blake came up to him everyone quieted down as Zecora started to speak.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Indigo Parker and Blake Belladonna in matrimony. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife.” Zecora said with a smile. Blake blushed as she stared at Indigo, who smiled back. Zecora turned to the four of us before saying. “Do you four support your dear friend in her decision?” We all nodded as Zecora looked to the men, asking the same question. To which they nodded before Zecora looked at the bride and groom. “You may now exchanged vows and rings.”
Iilah took this que to walk up to Blake and Indigo. She held up a box where two rings were in. Indigo pick them up and handed one to Blake as he took her hand.
“I, Indigo Parker, take you Blake Belladonna, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.” Indigo them put a ring onto Blakes finger. “I give you this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.”
Blake smiled happily as she spoke. “I, Blake Belladonna, take you, Indigo Parker, to be my friend, my lover, the father of my children and my husband. I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.” Blake said as it sounded like she got a longer vow for him. Blake then took her ring and put it on Indigo’s finger. “I give you this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.”
With that said, Zecora smiled as she finishes it. “By the power vested in me, I pronounce you… uhhh…”
We all stopped to look up to see a large pink balloon. It was just… floating there over Indigo and Blakes heads. We all stared at it before it went Pop! The whole place was now covered in bubblegum as everyone started to freak out.
“This… was not in the plan.” I said as we all heard crazed laughter echoing around us.
“Ahh~ I love crashing weddings.” A voice said before some of the bubble gum floated up before forming a body. It soon peeled away to see a man that simply looked messed up. His suit was patched up with all different colours and fabrics. His hair was a brown with some patches of white. His eyes didn’t set on one colour, it looks like it changed between blinks. There’s also the fact he had one antler and one dragon horn, one normal hand and one clawed hand, one hoof foot and one bird foot. “Just so much fun.”
“Excuse me!?! What in Oum’s name do think you’re doing?!” Weiss yelled up at him, to which he man looked hurt.
“Well now, no need to be rude little girl.” the man said before appearing right behind Weiss. I did a double take to see he was gone from where he was. “You see, you may call me a… well a chaotic being of nature.”
With a wave of his hand Weiss was gone and in his hand was a snow globe with Weiss in it. She banged on the glass and plainly looked unhappy. Tak noticed the sudden disappearance of his girlfriend and panicked.
“Hey!” Yang yelled before marching over to the man. “Who do you think you-”
“Oh nonononono~” The man said as he made Yang move quickly out of the door and closed said door. “I messed with her kind before, and honestly they would mess my day up.”
Kaida and Strun ran to the door to try to open it, calling out for their mommy. The chaotic figure let out a loud laughter before looking at me. “Huh, you look… familiar…”
“Wait what?” I called to him before seeing him zooming up to me.
“Hmmm, kinda. The mask blocks most of it. Oddly I saw her with the bugs as I did a once around the world but, spoilers.” The man said in an odd tone. “Now I would stay but there’s a town with a number of Huntsponys waiting for me and I really don’t want to be late.”
He then started to float up before a large, shadow fist came rocketing towards him. He simply laughs. “Ha! Paper!” There was a large piece of paper that came out of nowhere and slammed itself into the fist, making it disappear. “Paper beats rock every time!”
With that the man disappeared in purple glittery smoke. Right as Yang broke down the door, away from her kids.
“ALRIGHT, YOU WANT TO- huh?” Yang said before looking around. “Where did he go?”
No one really knew how to answer as I picked up the snowglobe. Weiss was still banging on the glass.
“Is everyone alright?” Zecora asked, covered in bubble gum as she finally pulled some of it off her face. “Curse that chaos spirit! I thought he was locked in stone!?” Indigo wiped most of the gum off him and Blake before claiming saying.
“I’m gonna kill him.” Indigo said though through gritted teeth. Blake nodded as we looked around, seeing the mess that man made before I glanced back at the couple, seeing their sad expressions. It took a while to get most of Gathering Hall cleaned up and we soon changed to some more cleaner clothes on before we finally stood outside. It was then we saw Father fly down towards us after having left earlier to find the mane six.
“I felt the surge of chaos from the town, what happened?” Father asked as his wings vanished in a flash of light. Kaida and Strun quickly ran up to him, scared of the crazy man that locked away their mother. “What happened?” He asked once again after hearing his kids cry a little, his voice taking a more serious tone.
“Some odd looking man came out of nowhere and messed everything up, crashed the whole wedding in just a few seconds.” Yang said with a frown as Tak held up the snow globe. “He even put Weiss into a snow globe!”
Weiss in turn was standing in the globe with her arms crossed, looking very unhappy. Tak looked down at her in sadness as he held the snow globe. Father nodded and simply snapped his fingers, resulting in a bright flash and Weiss being held up by Tak much to the latter’s surprise. The two fell to the ground, Tak not having expected the outcome of Father bringing Weiss out of the snow globe. Though Tak did managed to make sure Weiss landed on top of him… somehow. Weiss on the other hand…
“I’m going to strangle him!” Weiss growled as she got up from Tak, which she helped up.
“Ow.” Tak said with a wince though smiled after being helped up by Weiss. “Thanks.” He said.
“What did you find dad?” I asked him as he hugged his kids. He looked up at me before saying.
“Your friends personalities have been altered, they now represent the opposite of what they were.” Father said, calming the twins down a little enough for Yang to pull them away. “I can undo it but they all need to be next one another to break the hex and…” He stopped looking at Indigo and Blake, both of which were beyond angered for having their big day ruined. “I will apprehend him… I’d rather not have any bloodshed today.” He said straightening back up. Indigo sighed at this before nodding, knowing there was no arguing with Father. Blake stood there in silence as we talked. It was after Father finished as she started to cry. Her big day was ruined by some chaotic being and now she was getting hit by the realization. Indigo was the quickest to react to this, wrapping his arm around Blake and pulling her close, holding her close as she cried.
“You guys go…” Indigo said in sadness. We all looked at them in sadness before we all headed off… only to find an odd sight; Rose upside down covered in bubble gum. She saw us and said something muffled. Father soon wiped the gum off of her face, allowing Rose to gasp for air.
“I was beginning to wonder where you might’ve gone.” Father said before helping Rose down and out of the gum.
“Sorry but some guy came and thought it was funny to hold me in some bubble gum.” Rose said. I saw that she was wearing a blue dress that had a few spots of bubble gum on it. “So… did I miss the wedding?”
“No, this same being ruined the event and from what I am told, covered the hall in the very same substance you call gum.” Father said to her with a frown.
“Ah… man I was hoping to get their wedding present without… getting gummed.” Rose said as she bent down and picked up a small box from the ground. Rose brushed some dust off it. “So… what are you all doing?”
“Going off to beat this chaos being.” I told her with my arms crossed.
“Ah… well I would go with you but…” Rose looked around us. “The bride and groom isn’t here.”
“Yeah…” Yang looked down at the ground. “Blake isn’t very happy about it.”
“Hmm, I’ll go see them and hope this will cheer her up.” Rose said before they headed off back to the school. Father looked back to the direction of the Pony town, a frown donning him before he said.
“We must hurry.” Father said before clasping his hands together, a spark of heavenly light emitted from his hands before separating them, revealing a very bright almost blinding orb that quickly expanded and engulfed us. Before we knew we stood at the edge of town and simply stared at the sight before us.
And wow… it was like chaos in town form. There was pink clouds that rained chocolate milk, the ground looked different colours, a chess board, velvet. Some of the buildings were floating around and some odd animals or mismatch animals.
“Ummm.” What all I could say. Yang and Weiss stared at this in confusion, not really knowing what to say. I heard Tak groan and I glanced to see him grasp his head. “Hey, you okay there Tak?”
“I… uhh.” Tak groaned once more, falling to his knees with a grunt. Weiss looked over at him and was at his side with worry in her face.
“Tak? Are you okay, what’s wrong?” Weiss asked, fear and worry in her voice.
“I don’t- I don’t know.” Tak answered, struggling to speak with whatever is causing him pain. “The ground… it feels tainted...poisoned.” He said. Weiss eyes widen before looking up at Father.
“Please… help him…” Weiss said, almost brought to tears from this. Father looked at Tak before placing a hand onto the young bat faunus’ forehead. Soon Tak was encompassed in the familiar golden light.
“This should help for now, we need to find that accursed Draconequus.” Father said with a bit of a growl as he straightened up and helping Tak up to his feet. The latter groaned, having felt great pain just mere seconds ago. Weiss was by his side helping him.
“It’s okay, I’m right here.” Weiss said to him. Tak nodded, silently thanking her. Father waited for Tak to feel a little better before we headed into the chaotic infused town, we soon separated in search of the being responsible. Father had gone with Yang, Tak had gone with Weiss, Ruby and I stuck together.
As we walked around we saw a number of Ponies and Faunus hiding in houses that were still on the ground. I even saw what look like Pony Huntsman standing in bubblegum casts, bubble cages, and a number of other things. But none of them were dead which was odd.
It wasn’t until we heard some yelling at the both of us looked around a corner just as we saw a small group of Earth ponies rushing towards the Draconequus before getting trapped in bubbles.
“These Huntsman. They aren’t what they are used to.” the Draconequus sighed as he looked around. It wasn’t until I heard some ponies running from building to building as an oddbird carrying a lollipop before it seemed to drop it down towards them. The Draconequus saw this and looked panicked. “Oh nonononono!”
With a flick some lashes of candy polls shot out before wrapping around the lollipop, stopping it before it hits the Ponies. They continued running as the chaotic creature sighs a bit.
“He doesn’t kill.” I muttered a bit as Ruby looked up at me.
“Yeah.” Ruby stared at me for a moment. “You okay?”
“It’s just… he reminds me of some young Dovahs back in the Valley. They used play jokes on anyone, mostly me but they do it in good fun. I think this man is the same way.” I said. I think about it for a moment before walking around the corner.
“Viri!” Ruby loudly whispered as I walked towards the being. He turned to me and slowly smiled chaotically at me.
“Well~ look who came running back to me.” he said as he floated down to me. “Like what I did with the place, it looks nice no?”
“It’s a little… wild.” I said before frowning. “You made my friend cry.”
“Oh really, so?” he said with an arch brow.
“It was her wedding day, you ruined it.” I told him. He simped gave me a half-hearted shrug.
“She’ll get over it, there’s always another day.” he said.
“No, you don’t understand, this was her big day and you came in and ruined it.” I told him with a deeper frown. “Do you know how angry you made the two of them.”
“How mad? Like, a thousand years in stone mad?” he asked in a serious tone. I blinked at him as I feel like he’s been through something like he said.
“Yeah, just like that.” I told him. He blinked at this before looking off someplace.
“Hm, never thought of that.” he said. I stared at him for a minute before speaking.
“What up with you saying that you don’t want to deal with my friend race?” I asked him. He looked at me before shrugging.
“Oh well, I don’t want to deal with Dovahs.” he explained before floating up into a lying position.
“Wait, you know what a Dovah is?” I asked him.
“Well yeah, the shadow version of them are the ones that created my race.” he explained as he pulled out a watch.
“Wait what?!” I asked him, surprised at what he said. Again he shrugged.
“Yeah, I believe it was them that tried to create a Dovah in other means but came up with what you see here.” he said, gesturing to his body as his head popped off and started to float away from it as the body got up and started to walk around for a bit. “As you can see, they were displeased with the result and casted us out into the multiverse.” he said with a little sadness in his voice.
“I’m… sorry.” I told him as I sat down onto the ground. The head floated down.
“No need to say sorry, it happened a long, long time ago and honestly I almost forgotten about it.” he said. “I didn’t like the fact they left us to die but hey, I’m still around.”
“Do you… want to get revenge on them?” I asked the head before looking back at the town. I saw Ruby disappeared, maybe she saw one of the mane six and want to help them.
“No not really.” the chaos being said as the body came back and grabbed his head. “Revenge of leaving us for death would lead to killing and I don’t like killing.”
“You don’t like killing?” I asked him.
“Of course I don’t, I’m Discord! Master of Chaos and Disharmony!” he said as pink lightning shot around him and rainbows shot out as well only they exploded. “I love making chaos and playing jokes but I draw the line with death.”
Discord looked at his watch, looking like he’s waiting for something. “You waiting for something?” I asked.
“Oh well, I know how this is going to go.” Discord said as he crossed his legs. “I have my fun for a bit, the heroes come and save the day, and I get trapped in stone again.”
“Why don’t you run?” I asked him. He simply looked at me in an odd way.
“Why?” he said with a laugh before looking around. “You see all this! This is amazing! If I get turned into statue again I would like to have some fun before hand.”
“Do you know that my dad is the head Dovah of that race and that you’ve made him tinsy bit mad.” I told Discord. He looked at me for a moment, I saw some sweat run down his face before sighing, his sigh sounding more like a deflating balloon.
“I do now, I don’t know how long I will live now.” he said with a smirk. “I’ve had a good run.”
“I… really don’t want to feel sorry for you for what you’ve done.” I told him.
“Then don’t! I don’t care.” he said with a laugh before looking back down at me with a crazed grin. “Child I’ve been around for a long time, not as long as some but there about. I like living my life to the fullest and if I could I’ll keep doing that.”
“Discord!” A familiar voice yelled from down the street. I looked at the source to find a furious Father walking towards us. Discord saw this and let out a breath that he was holding.
“Ah, there’s my executioner.” he said before a pink cloud appeared under me. It floated me up before smiling at me. “I thank you for your time, I haven’t had anyone to talk to for so long.”
I frowned at him as I floated away out of sight as his body moved like a serpent back to his throne as he watched Father walked into the clearing.
“Why hello there! Do you like what I’ve done to the town?” Discord asked Father. “I believe it looks better this way. Though I think I need to change a few things.” He said. Was it from before with the lollipop? Father raised his hand up, gripping something invisible before Discord was forced out of his throne and slammed onto the ground. “Oww~, that… hurts.”
“You’ve caused a great deal of pain today, Discord.” Father said through gritted teeth as his grip tightened. Discord seemed to struggled a bit at this.
“Ah… well, sometimes… a joke causes pain…” Discord said before grunting. “Okay… wrong choice of words… I’ve heard of you and… man, never thought to see you in the flesh.”
“What you do are not jokes.” Father said, angered at the fact that he treated all this as one big joke. “You’ve nearly killed a young bat faunus with your tomfoolery!” Father yelled, regarding the incident with Tak earlier. My eyes widened, having not known it was that severe.
“What?” Discord said, honestly confused at this. “What are you… okay really can you let go… it’s hard to talk with no… breath.”
“Fine then.” Father said, letting go of Discord only for the latter to ensnared by the ground itself. Discord took some deep breaths before looking at his situation.
“Better than not breathing…” he said before looking up at Father. “But really what are you talking about? The land is sure infused to chaos but it shouldn’t hurt anyone, I made sure of that.” Father frowned at this before Discord looked at him wide-eyed. “Honest! I’m a trickster, not a killer!”
“Well then, explain how young boy nearly keeled over just by taking a single step into this… This madness.” Father said, gesturing at the area around them. “The young boy uses the ground to see his surroundings, your chaotic corruption not only blinded the young boy from his only means of sight but it had halted his heart as well.” Father said. I gasped at this, Discord looked at Father in horror.
“What?! No, No! Look, this isn’t me!” he yelled at Father. “My Chaos doesn’t kill! I wouldn’t allow it to, at most it would give him a headache at most but…” Discord started to look like he was going to throw up. “I’m going to be sick.”
“I have half a mind to toss you in the Pit and leave you to rot.” Father said with a deeper frown. Discord looked at him with wide eyes. “But I have better plans for you.” He said, walking up to the bound Draconequus. Standing just in front of him, Father placed a finger on Discord’s forehead. Once his finger made contact with Discord’s forehead, a bright prismatic light shone briefly before Father walked back. The ground soon let Discord go, allowing him to soothe his aching limbs, having been in an uncomfortable position for a while. Discord blinked a bit as he rolled his limbs a bit.
“This… feels different.” I heard him said as he looked at his hand. “You… took my Chaos away?”
“Yes and I expect you to clean up this mess as well.” Father said as he crossed his arms.
“Huh… Ah, do you have my Chaos?” Discord asked Father. “If so do take good care of her, she gets really antsy when she’s ignored.” This earned him a frown from Father. “What? It’s true…” Discord looked around at the ground with a frown. “This is… odd.”
“And what might be?” Father asked.
“You sealed my Chaos away right?” Discord asked Father. Father nodded, keeping quiet to allow Discord to continue. “This should all disappeared… but it’s here.”
As he said this the ground seemed to rise up again, but it tried to attack Discord. Discord pulled back before backpedal away. “Whoa whoa whoa! I’m telling the truth!”
As I watched him dodge the ground I felt something behind me that made me shiver. I turned around to see a large eye staring back at me. It was bloodshot and purple as pure hate stared at me. Something seemed to thrust itself into my head which made me scream in pain before I was engulfed in flames. I clutched my head as the pain seemed to pound into my head over and over as the flames burned around me. I felt hands grab me before pulling me away. I thought it was Father but I heard Discord yelling.
“OWOWOWOWOWOW! COOL DOWN GIRL! I DON’T HAVE MY CHAOS!” He yelled as he pulled me away. Soon the pain dulled as I was breathing heavily. I pulled my hands away and saw blood… was it my blood? I saw the flames was dashed away from me as I stared up at the sky. Some of the floating buildings floated back down.
“Viri, are you alright!?” Father asked with worry as he ran up to me, a look of pure worry and concern on his face. I tried to speak but another throb when through my head. I put my hands back up as I felt more blood came out of my… ears? Oh lords, is my brain dead?!?
“She got hit with Chaos, if she’s left like that she’ll start to lose it.” Discord said as I blinked, the sky started to shift and crack as if it was made out of tin foil. I felt Father’s hands on my ears, feeling a calming warmth radiating from them.
“Everything will be fine, dear.” I heard Father say as the sky slowly but surely returned to normal. I blinked lazily, feeling as if I had gone through some form of drug trip gone horribly wrong.
“What… happen?” I asked.
“That was something else.” I heard Discord said. I turned and saw his hands in a bucket. “That was Pure Chaos I felt, that’s something completely not nice. Scares my Chaos just talking about it.”
“Whoever the one responsible is, I will throw into the Pit for hurting my daughter.” Father said, angered that someone had attempted to break my mind with insanity. I sat only to be held by Father. “Don’t Viri, there is still some blood in your ears.” As he said this I felt him wipe away the blood with a cloth rag. I sat there as Father said this as Discord looked off into the town, the chaotic nature that was slowly reverted back to normal. After pulling his hands out of the bucket, which his hands were extremely burnt as he sat down looking away from us. He shifted uncomfortable as he sat there.
“Now then…” Father said before snapping his fingers and healing Discord’s hands. “It’s about time we fix this mess.” With that said, Father raised his foot before stomping the ground, causing a massive shockwave that nullified all the chaos caused by Discord and even purified the ground.
This caused Discord to fall over from the shaking. “Ow… that smarts.” as he stood up again he looked up just in time to see a rainbow beam blast him. Both Father and I stared as this all happened.
“...Huh.” Was all I could say as the beam dissipated and Discord was still there as if nothing had happened.
“Well… I have no words really.” he said as we all saw the Mane six on the ground a few feet away. Discord took a few steps before, for a moment, seeing Yang in front of him. “Oh hello pain, how’s the wife and kids-urf!” Discord was punched into a brick wall as Yang glared at him.
“Yang, that’ll be enough.” Father said, placing a hand on his wife’s shoulder. Her red dovah eyes returning to her normal lilac ones. “He’s now in charge of cleaning up the gathering hall”
“Wait what?! Why!?” Yang asked as she noticed me “What did he do to Viri?!”Father looked at her before saying.
“He did not do this… That I know.” Father said to the still angry half dovah. I stared at them as the rest of my friends came and Ruby came to my side with a worried look. Father explained what has happened as Ruby held me close, crying a bit. Discord pulled himself out of the wall and rolled his shoulders a bit. It surprises me just how resilient he is. “Now onto the matter at hand, the rainbow beam cast by these so-called elements of harmony.” Father said, turning to face the direction the beam came from. We turned to see the Mane six pushing themselves up from the ground, Twilight wearing some kind of crown while the others had necklaces on. When Twilight saw Discord… sorta not harmed her eyes widen. She said something that I couldn’t hear… wait I can’t really hear anything. Am I deft?! No wait I can hear everyone around me so I guess my hearing is limited.
“Ugh… this is annoying…” I groaned a bit, catching Father’s attention. “This what it’s like to hear less, kinda miss my normal hearing.”
“What do you mean?” Ruby asked in more worried tone.
“I think… my hearing is a little shot.” I told her and Father as he looked down at me. Father got down and placed his hands back onto my ears, the familiar warmth washing over them as he did. Whatever he did took immediate effect, my hearing soon returned to its fullest.
“How is that?” Father asked, removing his hands.
“Better…” I said as I slumped into Ruby’s arms.
“Now, what is it you said Miss Sparkle?” Father asked the purple unicorn as he turned to face them.
“I… why… why is Discord not in stone?” I heard Twilight said to Father. He glanced at Discord before looking back at the group.
“And why would he?” He asked back in a patient tone.
“The elements… they should’ve banished all evil and disharmony. The last time it was used on him he turned to stone…” Twilight said, her eyes darting around as she tried to come up with an answer that makes sense. I saw one of them, Fluttershy I believe, went over to Discord to see how he was doing.
“Encasing your problems in stone will only make so much worse in your future.” Father said before looking at Discord and said. “I have decided to punish Discord for his reckless behaviour and ruining the wedding of a dear friend of mine.” He said before a brom appeared in Discord’s hand. “He can start by cleaning up all the gum from the gathering hall of Forever Free.”
“But… but…” Twilight seemed to be a bit transfixed that this was all happening. “What gives you the right to do this! Discord was going to turn all of Equestria into a land of chaos, he should get a punishment then simply cleaning!”
“And with what source chaos will he use to accomplish that?” Father asked before raising a finger, a tiny prismatic ball of energy forming at his finger tip. “I have every right to do as I see fit to this mischief maker… because no one makes my children cry and walks away.” Father said, narrowing his eyes at Discord. Discord blinked at him before looking up to the sky for a moment. He then hung his head as Fluttershy seemed to look at him and Father.
The little ball seemed to sputter a bit before floating around Father for a bit. It wasn’t until it went on Father’s shoulder and grew… into a cat? The little prismatic cat seemed to be perched on Father’s shoulder and licked its paw before looking around. Father chuckled and petted the cat, earning a loud purr as a result.
“Nevertheless, your attempt to turn him back into stone has yielded no effect.” Father said to Twilight, as he continued to pet the little prismatic cat. “And it will continue to do so until I say otherwise.” Twilight looked at him with disbelief. “But if you don’t believe, feel free to try again.” He said, stepping out of the way for them to fire another beam at Discord. It took a moment but they did… only to receive the same result; Discord standing there with a broom. Just for fun Discord even posed this time. Twilight stared in disbelief when Discord stood there, holding the broom af it were a rapier.
“Twi just give up.” Skyler said with a groan, sounding exhausted after having fired two rainbow beams with the Elements of Harmony. “He got hit twice and nothing happened.” She added before flopping onto the ground with a thud, her groan muffled by the dirt.
“Now then, any questions?” Father asked with a smile. The cat nuzzled its head onto his cheek, earning another chuckle from him. Discord walked over to us which drew the attention of the cat. Discord smiled at it as he used the end of the broom to play with the cat.
“How… how is this possible!” Twilight yelled as some strands of her mane popped out of place.
“Oh boy here we go.” Jacqueline said with a sigh. We watched as Twilight ramble on on the impossibility about this whole thing, mostly that the chaos from Discord was removed and turned into a cat. Weiss continually glared at Discord as the once chaos being shrugged.
“Well, if you know who he-” he didn’t finished as a large, shadow hand, punched him in the face. Everyone other than Father jumped at this as Indigo walked over to us.
“Rock beats paper.” Indigo said angrily as the fist dissipated. He walked over to us, his shadow hand already formed and the scythe forming in his hand. “Buddy, you and I are going to have a little talk.” He said, dragging the scythe behind him. The cat on Father’s shoulder jumped down in front of Indigo and started to hiss ah him.
“That won’t be necessary, Mister Parker.” Father said, turning to look at Indigo. The latter’s left eye twitched and after a minute of silence, his scythe vanished. He looked at Discord with an angered look and said.
“Don’t EVER let me or Blake see you again.” Indigo said, turning around and walking back the way he came before vanishing into the shadows. Discord frowned at this before the cat looked at him.
“No, I deserved that.” Discord said as he petted the Chaos cat. The latter purred happily as he did this.
I turned back to the others and saw Twilight was getting carted away by her friends which was having a mini meltdown as Rarity looked back at us.
“Thank you for your help.” Rarity said with a bow before running off to her friends. I sighed as I laid against Ruby, too tired to do anything now.
“Can we… go back now. I want to lay down now.” I said out loud. Father nodded before walking back to me, picking me up off my feet and placing me onto his left shoulder after having grown larger in size. He then did the same with Ruby before he brought everyone, including Discord and the cat, back to the Academy gates. He looked at Yang and said.
“I will take these to their room, keep an eye on the draconequus and make sure he doesn’t sweep anything under the velvet carpet.” He said, gesturing to Discord as he spoke. Yang nodded though with a frown but it didn’t last long as Father quickly pulled her close and bent down for a quick kiss. “I will find a way to make it up for not being there soon to you and the kids.” He said after pulling back. She smiled at him as Father took me and Ruby off into the school. We soon found ourselves in bed together, exhausted beyond belief. Father had left after setting us down.
I thanked him as I pulled Ruby closer. She smiled as the two of us slowly drifted off to sleep.
Near the mountain where Canterlot is at, there was some odd weather that no Pony understood why. Lightning flashed down to the ground as thunder rumbled the sky. It wasn’t long until there was a flash of light in the middle of the field. As it dims there stood a woman wearing a cloak of black and red. A mask that looks oddly like a raven with white slits for eyes. She looked around as the wind blew past her.
“Where… am I?”
