//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: The Dark Lord Meets The Gold Bear // Story: The Darker Side of Life // by Brony Parasite //------------------------------// [Time: During The Wedding] [Location: Canterlot Hotel] Darth Folteren sat in his and Scoot’s room. Waiting for Scootaloo to finish dressing up. “Hay! You done in there!?” He shouted. “No! Stop asking!” Scootaloo retorted. Before the dark lord could respond, a gold coin hit the back of his head. Folteren looked to the metal. Its surface had the image of a bear. But not just any bear. Golden Freddy. One of Folteren’s favorite antagonists in game history. “I’m ready!” Scootaloo called. Folteren picked up the coin. Folteren heard a blast. He went to the window, and saw the force field around the city shatter. “Crap, I wish I didn’t come here!” Folteren yelled. The coin began to glow, and a voice echoed from it. “To those who would put an end to the demon Discord or would bring madness and shadow on Equestria, this coin is my token. If you need a bear to crash the game of your enemies, then give a call to ole Golden Freddy Fazbear.” With a final wave of light, a figure stood in the room. A bear of golden color, his body covered with scattered tears and burns with the only adornment being a small black bowtie. He stood a few inches taller than Folteren even without the black top hat he wore, and looked towards him. Their eyes met, and Folteren could see that his eyes were pitch black, with only a single dot of white in one and a glowing crack in the other. He spoke to Folteren. “I’m gonna assume from the aura of ‘bad guy doing bad things’ aura you put off that you’re not gonna be some jerkoff hero who’s gonna try and act like a tough guy?” “Uh… I guess so? Are you another Displaced?” Folteren asked. “Yeah. But seriously, are you a jerkoff who’s gonna try and fight me or are you just gonna be cool? Because if you’re gonna try and fight me then I’ll just collapse the entire city but if you aren’t,” The bear held out a hand. “Then we’re good. Name’s Freddy by the way. If you didn’t get the token then here’s how this goes: You let me kill/have your world’s Discord, and I do you a favor or something in return. On my resume is killing the two sisters for being bitches to me, defeating the elements of harmony, bring untold madness and chaos, fighting a Jotun displaced with an Omnitrix (huge jerk by the way, that guy took a cheap shot and messed up my eye as I was leaving so I couldn’t retaliate) and beating up a Gunvolt displaced. So, what’s your name and do you wanna make a deal with me?” Folteren took Freddy’s hand, and shook it in the most friendly way he could. “I’m Darth Folteren. I’d let you have my Discord, but he’s gone. And the sisters are mine.” Folteren said, still trying to be friendly. “Master! Who are you talking too!?” Asked Scootaloo from the other room. “He’s talking to a magic bear from another dimension!” Freddy yelled after hearing her. He turned back to Folteren. “Gone as in stoned or gone as in dead? Because if it’s the first then I’ll take him as well in that form.” Folteren thought, he did hate Discord for damaging his plans. “The first.” Was his reply. Freddy chuckled. “Well then. You up for the trade? I can still help you with some other favor in trade for the bastard.” “Of course!” Folteren said, an evil smirk on his face. Then, another explosion happened. Freddy glanced out of the window. “Hmm. I think this is the beginning of a profitable partnership. So,filly getting ready, you disguised as a horse in formal wear, I’m guessing that there’s a formal event interrupted by the changelings outside? If you want I could fix that. Easily.” “Yeah, I’d like that.” Freddy chuckled. “Any objections to them going into orbit/ being taken away by me for my own purposes?” This time, Folteren was the one chuckling. “No, but leave some for me. And I like where we’re heading Mr. Fazbear.” Folteren then pulled out a circular device. “If you need me, just press the switch.” Folteren showed Freddy where the first switch was.Freddy nodded with a grin, and then placed the device into his ribcage. He started for the door before turning back. “Oh yeah, the coin’s my own token. You just gotta put a little magic or essence or whatever into it. Oh yeah, how about I leave you some of the higher generals with some drones, while I take the queen myself?” “Sure. Oh, one more thing! The second switch is to talk to me. If you need anything, I’ll have your back-” Before he could finish, a scream was heard from where Scootaloo was. Freddy snapped his paw and disappeared from sight. From the other room, Folteren heard screeches of pain and then scuffling, and Freddy walked out with Scootaloo on his shoulder and a few changelings with golden glowing eyes floating behind him in an aura of magic. “Here, I think you’ll want these ones especially.” He set down the filly in a dress in front of Folteren and then snapped his paw again, creating iron chains and horn inhibitors on the changelings before removing his influence from them and plopping them down in front of Folteren. A key appeared in his paw, which he handed to Folteren. “That’ll unlock the chains.” Folteren sighed in relief. “Thank you Freddy, I said it once, and I’ll say it again. If you EVER need me, I’ll come to your aid.” Folteren bowed slightly, but respectfully. Freddy chuckled. “Hey you’re one of the first displaced I’ve met that hasn’t been a huge dickwad. Well I’ll get to work, just stay in the city so I can say goodbye or whatever before dealing with Discord.” With a final wave Freddy snapped his paw and disappeared, before returning in another flash. “Oh yeah, small filly you’re gonna want to watch this.” He warped out again. [When The Changelings Attacked] Scootaloo was done dressing, when three Changelings jumped in through the side window. The first one rammed into her, making her scream. One of them was lighting up his horn and she could feel herself being lifted, when a golden flash erupted in the room, stunning the three changelings. She looked up and saw a strange bear, with a golden coat, a pair of black eyes, and a bowtie and top hat. He grinned and sent a pulse of magic at the three changelings. She watched as their eyes closed and they slumped over in an unconscious state. She looked up in fear at the bear, only to see him grinning at her on one knee, holding out a paw. “Sup. Name’s Freddy and your master just hired me.” She took the paw, and was hefted onto the large bear’s shoulder. He stood up, and punched one of the changelings when it had recovered from his arrival, and then kicked the other two. He waved his hand again and their eyes were seized with a golden glow, and they all went limp in his magical aura. He lifted them up and then opened the door, taking her to Folteren and putting her down. “T-thank you f-Freddy…” Scootaloo whispered. She watched her master exchange a few words of thanks with the bear, and then the bear turned back to her. “Oh yeah, small filly you’re gonna want to watch this.” She went to the window after the bear snapped his paw and then disappeared. She saw him in the streets as he walked, and music started emanating from him. She didn’t recognize the song, but her master facepalmed when he heard it. She looked back to see the bear walking down the road, pointing at changelings. Of course, immediately after he did so the flew into the sky in an aura of his magic, screaming the whole way. Freddy got a look of concentration as he walked, and then snapped his paw. A camera appeared with a strap around the top of his head, and a small screen appeared in front of her so she could keep watching. Freddy made his way through the city, sending every changeling in a the city into the sky in the same manned, before kicking in the doors to the throneroom of the castle. Inside were the elements of harmony and princess Celestia, the former tied together and the latter trapped inside a green pod filled with goo. Freddy yelled out as he entered, and Scootaloo could see reflected in the marble floor the cocky grin Freddy showed when he looked down. “CHRYSSY I’M HOOOOOME!” Next to the captives in the room was a group of changelings, one of them taller than the rest and possessing a different set of eyes and a small crown, the rest being normal changelings but bearing armor and one of them was also unique of the rest. She had red eyes, and her form seemed similar to the rest of them but sleeker, and with the usual greens and blues replaced with shades of red. Freddy snapped his paw, and before any of them could speak they all collapsed, pushed to the ground by an unseen force. Freddy grinned at all of them, and snapped his paw, teleporting them all away. The bear took the camera from his head and looked into it. “There ya go kid, that’s how you deal with a bug problem!” The camera cut out, and Freddy reappeared in the room with them. He took a bow and spoke. “Lemme know when you wanna pick out your share of the bugs, I got ‘em all in stasis in orbit. If they behave and don’t try to leave they’ll be fine, if they try to leave then they’ll explode, seeing as they’re sitting in space.” He looked at Folteren with a sly grin. “Now how about your end of the deal? Whereabouts can I find your Discord?” “How about I get him for you? He has a chaos resistant's spell from all the alicorns, and some Tartarus deity.” Folteren offered. “Whatever works for you. Though I do more than chaos magic.” “Oh, I just wanted to show off. Sandy?” He said, putting his face near his Pip-Boy. [No.] Said the stern voice of the AI. “Come on!” The dark lord whined. [It will take too much power.] “You mean YOUR power.” Sandy didn’t reply. Instead, a mass of silver flakes flew around them, and constructed the statue of Discord. “There my golden friend!” The bear grinned. He walked up to the statue, and proceeded to stab his paw into its chest. His jaw seemed to unhinge and a wave of shining golden magic poured from the statue, and was downed by the bear. When he was done, Freddy pulled his hand out, and then punched the face of the statue, decimating it into a pile of rubble. “Thanks. Oh yeah for future reference for when you’re killing the princesses, weaken them first and then go for the kill. Only certain beings are capable of offing them, so be careful when you fight them. Be cautious and don’t underestimate them and more importantly…” He locked eyes with Folteren. “Don’t overestimate yourself. That’s a one way ticket to stone city or even death. Anyway!” The bear gained a cheerful grin. “That all ya need buddy?” Folteren thought for a moment. “That you Freddy- I can call you Freddy, right?” Freddy laughed at this. “Yes you can. Well I split out half of the changelings and plopped them into this,” He held out a golden crystal, in the shape and approximate size of a rubix cube. “Just push in the little thing on top, and it’ll drop a bunch of tied up changelings for you. Including the queen and her guards. Well call me if you need me as well guy, see ya round!” With this Freddy burst into golden light, leaving behind only the cube, and then a small plushie of himself, in the style of the plushies in the FNAF games, sitting on a black scooter with cyan lightning decals. A folded note on the top said: “For the kid. And the plushie has a mind of its own, he won’t talk much but he’ll turn into a golden robot/zombie russian murder bear if anything comes to hurt the kid. Hand wash only.” - G_F Scootaloo yelled “awesome!”, before running to her new things and admiring them. Folteren smiled, he hoped to see the bear again. Wait! Folteren forgot! Damn it! He hoped to ask more questions… Ah well, he could figure them out later. Right now, he had a wedding to finish. Freddy chuckled as he arrived to his own world. After this little experience, he had not only killed his second Discord but managed to make an ally out of a Sith lord. He took a seat and got back to planning, at a comically large war-room style table. He floated out the two tokens he had gained along with the one from when he fused with his other selves. A guy to call for backup, a kid to eternally fuck with the mind of, and a million others of himself bouncing around inside of his mind. All in all, pretty good progress for his first day of dealing with the multiverse. Of course there was that one asshat who cheapshotted his eye, but hey! That could be fixed if not improved later. Right now, there were plans to make and tasks to be done…
