The Void

Discord was startled from his nap again. 'Hmm. Confound these ponies, they would drive me to drink if I wasn't chaotic enough already...' Discord thought to himself as he looked about the vast expanse of white that he had come to still hate after the past few hundred years. Because his yellow cloud and his Chaos bucket were the only change in the bleach white, he looked inside. 'My, my, that is quite the increase. My little humans are doing a splendid job of creating chaos. Not that I doubted them, they are, in technicality, extensions of me, and I never doubt myself.' Discord thought happily. His only regret is that he would never know what caused the Chaos in the first place. Well, you got to give a little to get a little, Discord reasoned.

The Front of Canterlot Cuisine

'Aside from the whole "I'm in Equestria" thing, that's never happened before...' Paladin thought to himself as he quickly walked away from the eatery after a not-so-kind forcible ejection from the restaurant. Rainbow Dash trotted alongside him, snickering every now and again as time went by. Given how well his attempt at small talk went last time, Paladin figured he would give it a shot again. "Has that ever happened to you before?" Paladin asked, slowing his pace to a walk as the two put sufficient distance from the surely angered staff.

Rainbow was about to respond, but as soon as her mouth opened, laughter exploded out as she fell onto her back and waved her legs in the air, struggling to breathe while she laughed. Paladin rolled his eyes and let her finish her burst before she stood up, wiped a tear from her eye, and regained her breath. "No, I can't say I have. Ha ha... did you see that guys face? That was awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed between little pants.

"The waiter or the stallion covered in salad?" Paladin asked, a smile forming on his lips despite his best efforts.

"No, no, the colt with spaghetti in his mane!" Rainbow said, another burst of laughs escaping.

"Oh, that guy. HA ha, I did. He was sooo pissed!" Paladin chuckled as he recalled how the colt’s eyes seemed to burn right through Paladins soul with anger.'Ha, maybe going home isn't the best idea...'  Paladin thought. It wouldn't be the first time this idea crossed his mind. In fact, he had been thinking about it from the get-go. At first he thought it was a terrible idea. This isn't Earth, this isn't where he belongs. He should go back, finish school, get a job, and raise a family. Take responsibility for once. But the more and more he thought about it... the less and less he wanted to go back. He glanced over to his side, marveled in how he was able to not watch or read about the rainbow pegasus next to him, but have real, fun, awesome adventures with her and somepony who was more important to him then he even knew.

The more he realized Equestria held a better future for him, the more he knew that he was going to stay. He was in a great relationship, had the Princess as a friend, hell, he had friends period. Well, there was always Rob, but still. Aside from him, he didn't have many. But here... he didn't call it "Equestria" anymore. He called it "Home". 'I wonder how Rob is gonna take it...'

"Hey, there they are!" Rainbow's exclamation dragged him back to reality; Dusk and Applejack were sitting together on a park bench.

"R- Dusk! About time we found you!" Paladin called out. 'That was close...'

Dusk looked around at the sound of his name and spotted the two. "Well howdy there. Did'ja have fun?" Dusk said with a slight grin.'Oh, your ass is gonna pay...'  Paladin thought with a subtle glare at Dusk, much to the latter’s amusement.

"Hey AJ. Did you two have fun too?" Rainbow asked with a grin and eyebrow wiggle.

"We had a good time." Applejack replied with a slight blush and smile.

'Is that so?' Paladin chuckled inwardly. "Hey, when do you think Princess Celestia is gon-"

The Throne Room

"-na trans... port... us..." David trailed off after the blinding light and Throne Room filled his vision.

"Right about now." Rob said dryly.

"Sorry to bring you back in such haste, but I'm afraid we may have a problem." Celestia said with a slight undertone of worry.

David raised an eyebrow. "And that would be?"

A small light flashed and everypony in the room (being David, Rob, and Celestia) turned to look at it.

"Why, none other than me!" Discord happily said with a small bowl. Celestia charged a spell and fired it at Discord in a fraction of a second. "Ah ah ah! Mind your temper, Celestia." Discord practically flicked the spell back at her, her body going stiff and then falling onto its side. "Tsk, tsk. I'm glad to see you too." Discored shook his head before turning his attention to the humans. "You two have done wonderful jobs! Truly fantastic! Have an Oscar, both of you!" Discord snapped his fingers and twin gold statues appeared next to them respectively.

"If it were anyone else in this position, I would be laughing right now." David almost muttered.

"Right, so, this is the freaky bear, dragon thing that ISN'T supposed ta be here, right?" Rob asked, glancing at the small figure holding a globe above his head.

"Yup."

"And the Princess is out for tha count?"

"Affirmative."

"So we got to take this guy on alone?"

"More or less."

"... Shit."

Discord sighed. "Now you two as well? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I just have one thing to say before we begin..." David and Rob both raised an eyebrow. "... Think fast!" Discord said as he hurled a ball of Chaos magic at the two. David quickly flew up to avoid the harmful magic and Rob dived out of the way, both magic balls blackening the floor where they hit. David flew right for the demigod trying to hit him a few times before he inevitably hit back, but a small *pop* and he flew right passed where Discord had been, right into the wall behind him. Letting out a hearty laugh, Discord failed to notice the almost steaming mad Earth pony charge him and give him a buck to the abdomen that sent him flying.

"Pull that again, and Ah'll kick tha crap outta you!" Rob yelled at him.

"Thanks for gettin' my back, bro..." David mumbled from the floor.

"Don't mention it." Rob grunted. "Now get up."

David rose, brushed the dust of his shoulder, and hovered, ready for the next move. Discord seemed to not even care, lounging on his yellow cloud and sipping at a colorful drink. He glanced over to the two and let out another small sigh. "It's about time you two are ready again." Discord hurled his glass at the two, the drink exploding at their feet and generally startling them.

"Did he just-"

"Throw an explosive glass? Yeah. He does that." David finished.

"You know this because...?" Rob asked.

David deadpanned him.

"... Right."

Discord, being the impatient creature he is, threw two more magical blasts at them. Unlike the last times, both hit their mark, send the two flying. Discord let a smirk spread over him. To say he was shocked at how the two not only recovered from the blast like it was nothing but seemed to be empowered by it would be an understatement.

David no longer was a simple pegasus, but now an anthromorphed pony, jet black fur glimmering as though light was coming from it, wingspan reaching six feet across. His hair resembled that of when he was on Earth, short, but not long. His eyes shone a brilliant emerald green and had a newfound courage behind them. Rob was also changed, the same way as David but with a muscular frame that would put the Govenator to shame. His eyes had the same emerald hue.

"I am the Voice of Justice." David boomed.

"And I am the Spirit of Valor." Rob thundered.

"And I am completely confused." Discord said.
