Darkness. 

That was all that I saw when I died, nothing but darkness as far as the eye could see. There was nothing, just a endless black void. I couldn't move a single muscle and all I could hear was my own thoughts. All in all, I was completely bored out of my mind.

To be honest, I expexted the afterlife for me to be some fiery nether realm like hell, or maybe become a ghost, cursed to forever wander the earth without a purpose, never being able to rest in peace. But this, this is far worse than either of those two. But, there's nothing I can do about it. So, the only thing for me to do is try and make the most of it.

Suddenly, I start to hear something. At first, I thought I had finally lost it and was hearing things, but as I listened more closely, it sounded like someone was talking. After a few seconds, I could make out what they were saying.

"...to start our field trip here, in the world-famous Canterlot sculpture garden".

I then realised that the voice belong to Cherrilee from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I thought I must be going crazy if I'm hearing a cartoon character's voice. But, before I could think about it anymore, the voice started heading towards me. 

"Now this is a really interesting statue", Cherrilee said,  "What do you notice about it?" 

"It's got an eagle claw!", said a voice that sounded like Apple Bloom.

"And a lion paw!", said another voice that sounded like Scootaloo. 

"And a snake tail!", said a third voice that sounded like Sweetie Belle 

As I heard Cherrilee's voice start talking again, my mind was somewhere else. "Wait a minute",I thought, "Canterlot...Cherrilee...the CMC...me having a eagle claw, lion paw, and snake tail". Then, all of a sudden, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I had become Discord. Somehow, when I died, my soul had left my world and ended up in the body of Discord at the beginning of Return of Harmony. "Well, this...this is fantastic", I thought to myself, "This is the best day ever". 

I've always be a fan of Discord because his powers are so awesome. I mean, he can change reality and open portals to other dimensions. You've got to admit that is pretty sweet.

I was interrupted from my thoughts when I heard the sound of Cherrilee's class leaving and the sound of stone cracking. I realised that Discord's stone prison was breaking. I focused with all my might trying to bust out until finally, I smashed straight out of there and was greeted by the blinding light of the sun.

When my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw where I was and I was speechless. "This is real", I thought, "I really am in Equestria". Everything looked exactly like it did in the show. Canterlot Castle was to my left and it was outstanding. 

When I looked at my hands, I saw an eagle talon and a lion paw, my legs were a lizard leg and a donkey hoof, my body was that of a brown snake, I had a red, dragon tail with a white tuft on the end of it, and the wings of a bat and a blue bird.

"I really have become Discord", I thought,  This is so cool". 

I then snapped out of my thoughts when I realised who and where I was. "I better get out of here before Celestia finds me", I thought, "But first...". I concentrated and felt the magic build up inside me. Then, with a snap of my talon, the debris from my escape was gone and on the pedestal where I once stood was an exact replica of Discord's statue.

"Wow", I thought, "I can't believe that actually worked. Still, this is a pretty good replica. Hopefully, it'll be enough to fool Celestia for a while. Now, let's get out of here.

Once again, I gathered up my magic and teleported away from the garden and to somewhere else.
> Prologue Part 2: Back in Time
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the light had died down, I took a good look at my surroundings. I was in a castle, but it was completely in ruins. The windows were broken, the roof had holes in it, and the floor was litter with chunks of wall and roof. It didn't take long to figure out where I teleported to.

"I'm in the old, abandoned castle in the Everfree Forest", I thought, " At least I ended up somewhere were nopony will find me". I chuckle a bit when I used the term "nopony".

"Now then", I said out loud, "Let's take a look at what my new face looks like".

Using my new powers, I snapped my fingers and a full size mirror appeared out of nowhere. I was a bit surprised I got it right the first time. I half expected for something random to appear. I guess using chaos magic just comes natural to me.

I looked in the mirror and got a good look at my new face. A grey horse head, a deer antler, a goat horn, two mismatched eyes of gold with red pupils, an oversized fang, and a goatee. "I look so amazing right now", I said to myself, "I love the goatee. Goatees are cool".

"Now then", I said, "What shall I do first with my newfound powers?"

I began to think for a while. I could visit other realms, mess with reality, or cause some mischief. I could do anything I want to do and not have to listen to anyone. Due to all my thinking, I started to pace back and forth. There was so much I could that I didn't even know where to start. After a few more minutes of thinking, I finally reached a decision.

"I've got it", I said to myself, "I travel across Equestria. They never showed all of it in the cartoon and I've always wanted to see it for myself. I could see all the different sights, meet new people, or ponies in this case, and have tons of adventures. It's perfect". 

"However, I still have Celestia to worry about", I thought, "That fake statute would fool her for long, and when she finds out I've escaped, she will turned Equestria upside down until she finds me". I did some more thinking on how to solve the problem until an idea popped into my head.

"That's it", I said,"I travel back in time to before I break and tour Equestria then. Therefore, I won't have to worry about Celestia because Discord will still be trapped in stone. It's foolproof. Still, I'll have to disguise myself, but I'm okay with that. 

"Now then, how far back do I want to go?", I thought, "Probably best if go to a year and a half before the return of Nightmare Moon. Don't want to alter history to much, now do I?"

So, after reach my decision, I closed my eyes and started to concentrate, gathering up my powers. I could feel my strength growing and growing. Once I had gathered enough power, I snapped my talons and, just like that, a portal appeared out of nowhere. I opened my eyes, looking at what I made. 

"So, this portal I created will either send be back a year and a half before the return of Nightmare Moon or to any other point in time", I thought, "Well, in the words of the 11th Doctor..."

"Geronimo!", I yelled as I dived straight in into the portal, which closed behind me.
> Prologue Part 3: The Journey Begins
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was falling through the portal, seeing all the different colours that passed around me. I lost track of how long I had been falling for. It seemed like forever. Suddenly, I saw the other end of the portal open up and was launched face first into the ground.

"Well, that was unpleasant", I thought as I picked myself up of the ground,"I'll have to work on my landings". 

"Now then", I said,"Where and when have I landed?" I took a good look at my surroundings. It was nighttime, the moon was high in the sky and it had the Mare in the Moon symbol on it, meaning I had arrived before the first episode. Though it was dark, I was able to see the red, orange, and yellow leaves, so it must have been fall. I could make out the outline of Ponyviile in the distance. Wondering how far back I traveled, I reached into my fur and pull out an old fashioned pocket watch. When I look at it, it said:

Estimated time until Nightmare Moon's return: a year and a half.

"Looks like I ended up where I want to after all", I thought," Wonderful. Now, let's get started with that disguise. First off, do I want to be a unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony?". After thinking for a few seconds, I made a decision." Better go unicorn so can explain my magic powers".

Snapping my fingers once, I made a full size mirror appear, and with another snap of them, I transformed myself in a flash of light. Once the light faded, I saw my reflection. A grey, unicorn stallion with a black mane and tail, blue eyes, and a goatee. My Cutie Mark was a tornado. "Perfect", I said, my voice sounding the same as before. I then realised something. "If I cross paths with Celestia, she immediately recognise my voice. Looks like I'm going to have to change the disguise a bit". 

As I concentrated on using my magic, the horn on my head started to glow. Then, I transformed myself once more. Once I was done, I saw the changes to my disguise. I still had the same Cutie Mark and the same color for my coat, mane and tail, and eyes, but I had the body of a mare.

"There, that's much better now", I said, my voice sounding more feminine,"I hate losing the goatee, but we all have to make sacrifices".

"Now, next item on the agenda, living arrangements while I'm traveling". Using my magic, I conjured up a trailer. It wasn't much, but it's home now, I guess. I'd take a look at the inside later. 

" So, if anypony asks", I said, already adopting pony terms,"I'm a unicorn mare merchant, traveling across Equestria and selling ponies random and awesome things"

"Right then", I thought,"Let's get this road trip started, but first...". Charging my horn, I summoned a brown cloak, put it on, and pulled the hood over my head. "If I'm going to be a traveler, I might as well have a traveller's cloak". Then I hooked myself up to the trailer and headed north, towards the start of my new life.
> Chapter one: Bigger on the inside
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After walking for a few hours, I realized that I didn't know where I was going. So, I reached into my cloak and pulled out a map of  Equestria.



"Let's see", I thought,"I'll save Ponyviile and Canterlot for last. I can't do Cloudsdale, since it's in the sky. The Crystal Empire is still missing. So, I guess my first stop is Tall Tale since it's the closest".

After another hour of walking, I saw the moon set and the sun rise. Then suddenly, my stomach started growling. "I guess I am a bit hungry. After all, I haven't eaten since I died". I pulled over to side of the road and headed to the back of the trailer, where the door to the inside was. When I opened the door, I was surprised.

Somehow, the trailer was like the TARDIS. In other words, it was bigger on the inside. The main room was shaped like a rectangular prism, long and wide. The whole room was lit up by electric lights on the ceiling. To the right, there was a fireplace with two bookshelves between it, each shelf filled with books, and a self portrait of Discord above it. By the fireplace, there was a comfy looking reading chair. To the left, there was a kitchen area, complete with an oven, fridge and freezer, and cupboards which were probably filled with things used for cooking. Next to the kitchen area, there was a dinning table. In the far left corner, there was an HD plasma TV, with a PS3, Xbox one, and a Blu-ray DVD player. Between the TV, there were shelves filled with both video games and movies. In front of the TV, there were two beanbag chairs. Between the kitchen area and where the TV was, there was a door with a sign that said "Master Bedroom". Next to left of the fireplace, there was another door, but it didn't have a sign on it.

"Wow, this place is amazing", I thought as I took off my cloak and hung it on the coatrack next to the door, "Now I know how The Doctor's companions felt when they first stepped into the TARDIS". 

"Now then", I said as I walked over to the kitchen area and conjured up a chef's hat and an apron,"Let's see if I can whip up something to eat". 

I headed over to the fridge and took a look inside it. There was all sorts of refrigerated foods inside of it. "I guess I should be careful about what I eat. I do have new taste buds. It's probably best if I just have a salad for now". As I got out what I needed to needed to make the salad and then proceeded to make it, I sang a little song to myself.

"One fine day with a woof and a purr, a baby was born and it caused a little stir"

"No blue buzzard, no three eyed frog, just a feline-canine little CatDog"

"CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world was a little CatDog"

"A lunatic dog and a frustrated cat, opposite this and opposite that"

"Internal struggle for two-in-one brothers, Scratchin' and bitin' and lovin' each other"

"CatDog, CatDog, nothin' in the world like a little CatDog"

"CatDog (CatDog), CatDog (CatDog), nothin' in the world like a little CatDog"

"Over the river and through the muck, hot on the trail of the garbage truck"

"Friends to the end through good and bad weather, but life is complicated when you're always together"

"CatDog, CatDog, nothin' in the world like a little CatDog"

"Out on the road or back in town, all kinds of critters puttin' CatDog down"

"Gotta rise above it, gotta try to get along, gotta walk together, gotta sing this song"

"CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world was a little CatDog"

"CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world was a little CatDog"

"CatDog (CatDog), CatDog (CatDog), alone in the world was a little CatDog"

As I finished singing, I also finished making my salad. Taking of my chef's hat and apron, I levitated the salad over to the dinning table and took a seat there myself. Once I was seated, I started eating my meal. After a few minutes of eating, my bowl was empty and my stomach was full. "Man, that was good", I thought to myself, "I'm so full right now.

After letting my food go down, I went back outside and continued my journey. For the rest of the day I kept walking. The only other time I stopped was to have some lunch. As the sun started to set, I decided to stop for the night. After fixing myself up some dinner, I decided to check out the master bedroom.

The room was circular. There was a circular queen sized bed to the left. To the right, there was a wardrobe. Next to it, there was a door that lead out to a balcony. Across from me, there was another door, probably leading to the bathroom. A chandelier hung from the ceiling. Impressed at how my bedroom looked, I decided to take a look at the bathroom. 

The bathroom was pretty cool. To the right, there was a huge bathtub. To the left, there was a sink with a mirror above it. Next to the sink, there was the toilet. "Not bad, not bad at all", I thought as I proceeded to prepare a nice, warm bubble bath for myself. Personally, I find bubble baths relaxing, and after everything that's happened to me, I need some relaxation.

Once the bath was ready, I stepped into the tub, the warm water feeling soothing against my skin. I let out a sigh as my stress was washed away. Soon, only the top of my head was sticking out of the bubbles. I felt so relaxed I had trouble staying awake.

After about 15 minutes (or maybe more. I lose track of time when I take a bath), I pull the drain plug and step out of the tub. After drying off my mane, tail, and fur,I wrap a towel around my hair and put on a bathrobe. Stepping out of the bathroom, I decided to take a look out on the balcony. When I opened the door, I was amazing by the beauty.

I was staring into space. I saw all kinds of stars and galaxies. A comet zoomed by me as I walk out on to the balcony. "This is truly a sight to behold", I thought as I stared into the infinite cosmos. After a few minutes of staring at the beauty of the universe, I decided it was time to hit the sack. Taking of the towel and bathrobe and tossing the back into the bathroom, I trot over to my bed, climb under the covers, clap my hooves to turn off the lights, and dozed off into the realm of dreams.
> Chapter Two: Arriving in Tall Tale
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

For over a week, I kept traveling across Equestria. Occasionally, I stopped for a day or two and just hung out in the trailer or practiced using my magic. I had gotten good at using it and one time, I conjured up a shark that was eating a cheeseburger. One day, while I was pulling my trailer across the road, I saw what look a town in the distance.

"That must be Tall Tale", I said," It looks quite nice. What do think, Nightshade?"

As I finish talking, my shadow started to move on it's own. It turned into a large black dot, and out from that dot, rose a unicorn mare with black fur, red eyes, and a red mane and tail with black highlights. Her cutie mark was the symbol for Shadow the Hedgehog. 

This mare was my companion and sister, Nightshade. 

You see, during my travels, I got really lonely and decided to make a companion. I then decided to use my own shadow as what I would use to make her for two reasons. One, shadows are a part of you, so they understand what you're thinking and how you feel, and two, being a shadow means that they can be stealthy and can also turn into all sorts of creatures. So, using my magic, I brought my shadow to life and decided to name her Nightshade. During the time we spent together, we had bonded quite well and she was particularly like a sister. So, I decided that she can be my sister.

"Yes, it does look like quite a nice town", said Nightshade.

"Think the ponies there are friendly?" I asked.

"We won't know until we see it for ourselves", said Nightshade.

"You're right, sis", I said, "Well, we won't find out by standing around here. Let's go".

Nightshade nodded and turned back into her disguise form as my shadow. I then headed toward the town, wondering about how things will turn out for me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After entering the town, I began to look for a place to set up shop. After a while, I found an open spot in the marketplace. I then opened one side of the trailer and out popped a stand, with shelves filled with potions, books, clothes, weapons, and other things. I had originally planned to sell items from movies, games, cartoons, and tv shows, but I thought I might save that for when I decide to open an inter-dimensional shop. There was also a banner above the stand that read "Breezy Day's awesome antiquities", which was also the name I decided to give my disguise form.

"Now that everything's set up, I think I'll go change outfits and freshen up a bit", I thought as I enter the trailer. I then made my way to the bedroom and opened the wardrobe. Just like the trailer, it was bigger on the inside. There were rows upon rows of different outfits. I began to search though the outfits, looking for the right one. After a few minutes of searching, I had found what I was looking for. A long, grey cloak with gold trimmings and the symbol for chaos on the back, with the top arrow stretching all the way to the hood.

"Perfect", I thought as I put the cloak on and pulled the hood up. I then walked over to a large mirror and got a good look at my reflection. The cloak covered most of my body and the only part of my face that could be seen was my muzzle, giving me a mysterious look. Satisfied with how I looked, I made my way out to the stand and stood behind the counter, waiting for some customers.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the end of the day, I was exhausted. Many ponies had come to buy things from me. At first, they were a bit suspicious due to my appearance, but after a few satisfied customers, more of them began to visit my stand. Once I had satisfied my last customer for the day, I retracted the stand back into the trailer and made my way inside. 

"Man, that was a long day", I said, taking off my cloak and hanging it on the coatrack,"I never thought that being a merchant could be so tiring".

"Yes, but you must admit, you did quite well for your first time", said Nightshade, coming out of her disguise form.

"Yeah, I guess you're right", I said,"Still, I think I might be nice to take a day off sometimes, you know, to relax and spend time with you".

"You know what, I think I'd really like that", said Nightshade.

So, we had some dinner and afterwards played some Mortal Kombat X. I had beaten her two or three times, but Nightshade was quite a skilled gamer. After a while, we decided it was getting late and that it was time for bed. We said goodnight to each other and went to our own bedrooms. I then went over to the dresser and pulled out a set of pyjamas, a sleep mask, and some curlers for my mane and tail. After all, every mare needs her beauty sleep. Anyways, I slipped on the pyjamas and and put the curlers on my mane and tail. Finally, I headed over to the bed, got under the covers, pulled the sleep mask over my eyes, and turned off the lights. Within a few minutes, I was peacefully sleeping, dreaming about what may lay ahead for both me and Nightshade.
> Side chapter: Spa Day 
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It's been a few days since my arrival in Tall Tale and I was completely exhausted. So many ponies had visited my stand, each with their own story. Some of them bought things as gifts for others and some bought things for themselves. Needless to say, it was all extremely tiring. So, today, I have decided to take the day off.

"So, Nightshade, what do you want to do today?", I asked.

"I don't know, Breezy", said Nightshade.

"Well, I for one am starting to get bored and boredom is something up with which I will not put", I said.

"Well, we could go to the spa room", said Nightshade.

"Wait, this trailer has a spa room?", I asked.

"Breezy, this trailer has everything", said Nightshade.

"Well aright, let's take a look then", I said as me and Nightshade headed deep into  the trailer.

We wandered the many hallways for about a few minutes until we came to a door with a sign that said "Spa Room" on it. We opened it and inside, there was a huge, full-equipped spa with a sauna, mud baths, massage tables, and everything. As we looked around, a pony that looked like she worked here walked up to us.

"Hello there", she said," Welcome to the spa room. Which treatments would you like today?"

"Well", I said," I we'll take... all of them".

"Very well then", said the mare,"One moment please". She then raced off and came back with two white fuzzy robes and two towels. We put the robes on and wrapped the towels around our heads. The mare then lead us over to the sauna and we took a seat inside. She closed the door and steam began to fill the room. It felt wonderful and relaxing, like all of the stress was melting off my body.

"Nightshade", I said,"This is quite possibly your best idea yet".

"Thank you, Breezy", said Nightshade,"I'm just happy that we can spend some time together".

We spent the next few minutes relaxing in the sauna, talking about movies and about the different ponies that visit my stand. Soon, our time in there was over and it was time for facials. We both got mud masks covering our faces, with the cucumber slices over our eyes. I admit, it did feel quite nice.

We were then seated in some kind of chairs which I couldn't see due to the cucumber slices. I heard two ponies come over to us and they began scrapping files onto our horns. As the file rubbed against my horn, I tried to figure out what the feeling from it was. It was both strange and pleasant at the same time. I stopped thinking about it when I reminded myself that I was here to relax with Nightshade.

Then the massages began. Let me tell you, those hooves were like magic. With one little twist of the hoof, I went limp with bliss. I never had a massage before in my old life, but it felt wonderful for my first time.

Next came the mud baths. Strange thing was, the spa ponies wrapped us in seaweed before we got in. I don't even know what this method was called, but I didn't care. Once we were in the tubs, it was so relaxing that I dozed off for a while. 

After that, there was the hot tub. We walked over to the tub and lowered ourselves into the warm water, with nothing but our heads sticking out of the water. A spa pony then came over and give us each a drink that was in a coconut with a straw and a little umbrella. We happily drank from the coconuts as we relaxed in the tub.

Finally, we were taken over to two chairs where spa ponies began wash and clean our manes. As they clean, two ice buckets were placed under our hind hooves. The spa ponies washed our manes with shampoo and conditioner, combed any knots out, scrubbed out all the dirt and filth, and rinsed them off. Hair curlers were then put in our manes as we were placed in two hairdryer machines.

Once we were all clean and dry, we made our way to the exit. "We hope you two have enjoyed your visit", said one of the spa ponies,"And you're both welcome here any time".

"Thank you all for everything", I said. We then left and made ou way back through the trailer.

"Hey, Breezy", said Nightshade.

"Yeah, Nightshade?", I asked.

"You want to do this again next week?", asked Nightshade.

"You read my mind, sister, you read my mind", I said as I hugged my sister, happy that we're now able to spend some quality time together once a week.
> Chapter three: Next stop: Vanhoover and helping a filly in need
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stayed in Tall Tale for a few more days before I packed everything up and headed toward Vanhoover. The trip took about a few hours and soon, I was set up in Vanhoover's market place. It was just a normal day. Ponies were visiting the different stands, mine included. There was chatter amongst the customers and the ponies running the stands. I was wearing my grey cloak, which I had dubbed my "merchant cloak", with the hood pulled up.

"Get out of here, you little runt!"

My ears pricked up as I heard somepony yelling. I turned toward the source of the voice and saw a stallion selling fruits and vegetables yelling at a little unicorn filly wearing a brown cloak with the hood pulled up.

"And don't let me catch you stealing from me again!"

The filly then turned and bolted away from the stallion. She soon stopped and began to walk past my stand, her head hung low in sadness. I got a good look at her and, man, did she look beat. She was thin and covered in dirt and filth. Her cloak was filthy and had holes in it. Judging from her appearance, she was either homeless, an orphan, or a runaway.

"Hey kid!", I called to her. She turned and looked at me, a confused expression on her face. She walked over to me, though she seemed nervous.

"Here you go, kid", I said, pulling a fresh apple out of my cloak,"Take this, it'll do you some good. You look starved to death."

"But, I don't have any bits", said the filly.

"Don't worry about it", I said,"it's on the house."

She was shocked at first. I guess no one had bothered to help her before. They probably just assume that she was just a beggar and a thief. Suddenly, she snatch the apple from me with her magic and ran off with it.

"Well, that was rude", I thought,"Still, I wonder why that filly is homeless. I have to find out once I close up shop for the night. I went back to running my stand, but I couldn't get my mind of that little filly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rest of the day went by quickly. During that time, I made a plan for how I would confront the filly. I would disguise myself as a filthy, homeless mare and try to talk with her. Finding her wouldn't be a problem. I can track the apple I gave her using my magic and find out where she is living. 

Once the sun started to set, I stepped out of the trailer in my disguise. I had covered myself in oily grease and brown-like grim that wholly marred my coat and wrinkled down my mane and tail. My body was wrapped in wrap rags of the grayish-blackish kind of sort that happened to be grayer where it was cleaner and blacker where it was thicker with stains. I was wearing a long, brown cloak with the hood pulled over my head, hiding everything except my muzzle and my horn.

I began to make my way through the town, the streets completely empty. The only light source there was from the street lights. After a few minutes of walking, I found myself in front of an abandoned warehouse. The windows were all boarded up and there was a sign that said "Condemned" on it positioned above the front door.

"Well, this seems to be the place", I thought as I made my way to the front door,"Now, I think it's time I had a word with that little filly."

I opened the door and stepped inside the warehouse. It looked like it had been abandoned for quite some time. Everything was covered with dust and cobwebs. I stepped through the building, looking for any sign of where she might be. Then, I saw a light coming from the manager's office. I made my way up the stairs towards the office and when I looked inside, I saw the filly sitting in front of a makeshift fire.

"So, what's a little filly like yourself doing all alone in a place like this?", I asked her.

The filly jumped back in surprise and backed up against the wall. She looked rather scared.

"Who are you?", she asked, her voice filled with anxiety.

"Me?", I said as I sat by the fire," I'm just a homeless mare who is seeking shelter for the night. Don't worry, I'll leave in the morning. So, what's your name?"

"Well, okay then", the filly said, taking a seat next to me,"And my name is Starry Night."

"Starry Night, what a lovely name", I said.

"Thank you", she said, blushing at my complement.

"You still didn't answer my question",I said.

"What question?", Starry asked.

"My question about what you're doing in an abandoned warehouse", I replied.

"Oh, well, you see... I ran away from home", she said.

"Oh, how come?", I asked.

"Well, I have a big sister named Sunny Skies", she explained,"and she's a unicorn like me, but she is so much better at magic than me. Our parents were always proud of her and she is the most popular mare in school. Meanwhile, nopony pays attention to me or wants to hang out with me. They always want to hang out and be friends with Sunny. Even my parents give here more attention and love. I tried to get them to notice me by doing what she does, but they just saw me as an annoyance. So, I decided to run away from home and I've been on my own for almost three weeks now."

"Wow, sounds like you had it rough, kid", I said,"But, you know what, running away from home isn't going to solve your problems."

"What do you mean?", Starry asked.

"I mean, running away from your problems isn't going to make them go away. The only way for them to go away is if you face them yourself", I said.

"But, how can I face them?", she asked,"I'm not good at anything that Sunny can do."

"So, stop trying to be her and just be yourself," I said,"If you follow your heart, trust in your instincts, and do what you feel is right, you can do amazing things, and if you fall at first, don't give up. You'll get it right eventually."

"You really think so?", she asked.

"I know so", I said.

"Well then, that's what I'm gonna do", she said, standing up, face full of confidence,"I'm gonna keep practicing my magic, do good at school, make some friends of my own, and make my parents proud of me!"

"Now that's the kind of attitude I like to hear", I said,"So, get on home, kid, and make your dreams come true."

"Okay then", she said, giving me a hug despite how filthy I was,"Thank you for everything."

"Think nothing of it, kid", I said, returning the hug,"I'm always happy to help somepony out."

We hugged for a few minutes and then we said our goodbyes and Starry Night exited the office and ran out the front door towards her house.

"Such a sweet kid", I thought as I put out the fire,"She's gonna do great things someday. I just know it."

I then teleported myself out of the office, leaving nothing behind but some hoofprints and the remains of a fire.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
I reappeared inside my trailer. Nightshade was in front of the TV, playing Batman: Arkham Knight. I threw of my cloak and removed the rags around my body. 

"So, how'd it go?", Nightshade asked.

"It went pretty well actually," I said," We just talked and now she's on her way home right now."

"You know, that was very nice of you to help her", she said,"You really are wonderful." 

"Thanks, sis", I said,"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a nice, long bath to get all this filth and horrible stench off me. I smell like a skunk juggling dead hamsters."
> Side Chapter: Halloween/Nightmare Night
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, that was an interesting story", I thought as I close the book. It was late in the afternoon and I had already closed up shop for the night. I was sitting in the chair by the fireplace, its flames glowing bright, and I had just finished reading a book on Discord's backstory. 

Turns out, he was the adopted brother of Celestia and Luna. The three of them were like best friends. But, the ponies of Equestria still saw him as a monster. He tried to show them how amazing his powers were, but sometimes, things went out of control and some ponies got hurt. When Celestia saw this, she thought that he was hurting them on purpose. Discord tried to explain things to her, but she wouldn't listen and ended up calling him a monster. That enraged Discord and he soon decided that if they wanted a monster, he would give them a monster, and thus, his rule over Equestria began.

" I never would have realised that Discord had such a troubled past", I thought as I put the book back on the shelf,"He should have at least gotten his own holiday, just like Celestia has the Summer Sun Celebration and Luna has Nightmare Night." 

Nightmare Night

I realised that I had missed one of my most favorite holidays. Even back in my old life, though it was called Halloween, it was still one of my favorites. 

"What is wrong with me?', I asked myself,"I was so caught up in my new life that I forgot to celebrate Nightmare Night. Well, I can still celebrate it now, even if it is a bit late." 

"Hey, Nightshade", I called.

"Yeah, Breezy?", she asked, coming out of her room.

"Look, I know it might be a bit late",I said,"but, how do you feel about celebrating Nightmare Night with me?"

"I would love to", she said,"After all, it's so much fun to dress up as monsters and scare others."

"That's true", I said,"Alright, let's go, but first, let's change into our human forms."

We then began to focus our magic and transform ourselves. You see, while practicing my magic on my journey, I also practiced transforming into other creatures, including a human form for myself. I transformed in a flash of bright light while Nightshade transformed in a massive swirl of darkness. In just a few seconds, we were standing in our human forms. We still retained our eye and hair colors, but I was wearing jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt that said "Chaos Rulez" on it while Nightshade was wearing black boots, black jeans, a shirt that had a picture of a black wolf on it, and a black trenchcoat.

Once we were transformed, we made our way through the trailer. While we walk, we tried to decide what we should goes as. We soon decide on wolves and after a few minutes of walking, we found the door we were looking for and opened it. Inside, there was a large room filled with all sorts of costumes. A lady in a uniform greeted us as we entered the room.

"Good evening, madams", the lady said,"How can I help you?"

"Do you have any wolf costumes?", I asked.

"Ah, we have the perfect ones for the both of you", she said,"Right this way, please." 

She lead us through the rows of different costumes until we saw the ones that we were looking for. Two large wolf costumes, one grey and the other black. They both looked lifelike, the details on them were flawless.

"These will do wonderfully", I said.

"Very well then", the lady said,"Also, you both are required to put these on so you don't damage the suits."

She handed us each a skin-tight bodysuit, mine was blue and Nightshade's was red. She then pointed towards the changing rooms where we could put them on. We then made our way to the rooms and we each entered one. I removed all of my clothes and began to put the bodysuit on. Once it was on, I zipped it up and slipped on hood of the skinsuit. I then got a good look at myself in the mirror. The skinsuit covered me from head to toe, the only thing not covered was my eyes.

I then stepped out of the changing room just as Nightshade was. She was dressed like me in her skinsuit. As we headed back to the wolf suits, we saw two women standing next to the them. They were probably there to help with putting them on.

I grabbed my costume and set it down on the floor. I unzipped the full-length zipper on the back that ran from the neck to the base of the tail and saw inside the suit. The inside was covered with thick padding and there was a radio microphone next to where the mouth was. One of the ladies reached inside the suit and flicked a few switches. I could hear a tiny electronic whine as the eyes of the head suddenly blinked and the ears wiggled. Next, I began to crawl into it, lining my feet and arms with those of the heavy costume. I felt my legs bend to the correct position as the lady closed the zipper. I could feel the steel-skeletal structure of the suit confine to my muscles and press them into position.

I turned and looked at Nightshade, who had also finished putting on her costume. Now forced to walk like wolves, we made our way to a large door and opened it. There was a cave inside with tunnels connecting to the whole room. As we enter the room, the door shut behind us and disappeared.

"So, how do you feel, sis?", I asked through the radio while trying not to move my chin. Due to the jaw of the head connecting with my chin and the microphone being next to the mouth, the wolf's mouth moved whenever I talked.

"I feel great, sis" , Nightshade said,"I feel like I'm really a wolf."

"Good to hear", I said as we ran through the final checks of our suit's functions. We tested the arms and legs, making sure they worked properly. We tested the tails of our suits, wagging them from side to side. We opened and closed the mouth's and growled, testing the "voice" of the suit. 

"You know, I gotta tell you, sis, you were right. These costumes are amazing", I said as I paced back and forth, getting use to the feel of the suit.

"I know, right?", Nightshade said,"It makes you feel like the real thing."

"Well, since the suits are working properly, why don't we go scare some trick or treaters?", I asked.

"Let's do it", she replied.

We headed through one of the tunnels leading to the outside. Soon, we saw moonlight at the end of the tunnel. We stepped out of the tunnel and found ourselves in a large forest. The moon was full and high in the sky.

"Hey sis, you thinking what I'm thinking?", I asked.

"Oh yes, I am", she replied.

We raised our heads and howled at the moon, just like wolves did. Our howling let those who entered the forest know that we had arrived and we would scare the hell out of them. Once we were done howling, we darted into the forest, looking for people to scare. After running for a few minutes, we saw something up ahead. It was a large statue of Nightmare Moon.

"Ok, Nightshade, here's the plan", I said,"I'll hide in the bushes on the left side of the statue, you'll take the right side. When someone comes to offer their candy to Nightmare Moon, we rustle the bushes a bit to get them nervous and freaked out. Then, on my mark, we jump out and scare the pants off of them, got it?"

"Got it"' she replied before getting into position. Once we were both in position, the waiting game began. We just stood there, hiding in the bushes. After a few minutes of waiting, we saw our first victims. A large group of kids, all dressed in costumes, made their way to the statue. They all looked a bit frightened as they left some of their candy at the base of the statue.

"Okay, Nightshade", I whispered over the radio,"Commence Phase one."

"Roger that", said Nightshade. She then proceeded to rustle the bushes, getting the attention of the group.

"What was that?", one of the kids asked.

"I'm scared", said another.

Meanwhile, I rustle the bushes I was hiding in, scaring the group even more. They moved closer together, their faces covered with terrified expressions.

"Alright Nightshade", I whispered,"We jump out on three, one... two... three!"

We leaped out of the bushes, growling at the group and showing the fangs of the costume. The group immediately screamed at the top of their lungs and ran off, leaving a trail of dust behind them.

"Heh heh, that was a pretty good scare, huh sis?", I asked, chuckling as I thought of the group's reaction.

"Heh heh, yeah, it was", she replied, chuckling along with me,"So, what are we gonna do with the candy they left?"

"Don't worry, I got a plan", I said as I made my way to the statue. Then, using my magic, I gathered the candy into two spheres and teleported them to different locations. 

So, where'd you send the candy?", Nightshade asked.

"Well, I sent one sphere to an orphanage and the other to a children's hospital", I replied.

"Awww, that's so sweet", she said in a happy tone.

"Hey, the little fellas deserve it more that I do", I said, "Besides, I have the powers of Discord at my disposal. I can just summon up some more candy any time I want."

Soon, we went back into hiding and the process began again. Kids show up, put some of their candy in front of the statue, we scare the living daylights out of them, they run off, and I teleport the candy to random locations. This went on for a couple of hours before we both got tired and headed back to the cave.

"So, what ya think?", I asked as we headed inside the cave,"Was it a fun night for you or what?"

"Yeah, I've gotta admit, it was pretty fun", Nightshade replied.

"Plus, this has given me an idea for a new way for us to hang out", I said.

"Really?", she asked curiously, "What did you have in mind?"

"Well, you know how when zoos start to lose money and they can't get any new animals, so they have people dress up in realistic animal costumes and role play as them for extra pay?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, we should totally do that."

"Wait, what?", she said, sounding surprised, "That sounds rather strange, Breezy. Why would you want to do that?"

"Two reasons", I said, "One, I enjoy role playing, acting, cosplaying, and stuff like that. Not to mention, the practice could help if we ever decided to prank Celestia."

"And the second reason?", Nightshade asked. 

"That's... complicated", I replied, feeling nervous about discussing the matter with her.

"Complicated how?", she asked. I tell she had an eyebrow raised at me.

I let loose a sigh. I knew I would have to talk about this sooner or later. "Look, Nightshade, when I reveal to the Mane 6 and the princesses that I'm really Discord, we have no idea how they're gonna react."

"What do you mean?", she asked, sounding a bit sad.

"Well, they could either listen to what I have to say or they could just assume that I'm trying to deceive them and try to blast me the Elements of Harmony, turning me to stone."

"NO!", Nightshade yelled, her voice filled with sadness and tears coming out of her eyes, "I won't let that happen! You're the only family I have. Without you, I'd be all alone. I don't want to be alone."

I immediately went over to her and try to comfort her. I wasn't surprised with her reaction. I had expected her to act this way. 

"Hey, look at me", I said in a soft voice, "That's why I want to do this with out. I want something to look back on in case that happens. I wanna remember all the fun times we had together, as siblings. Okay?"

"O-okay", she replied. She had finally calmed down a bit.

"So, what do ya say?", I asked, "Are you up for it?"

She took a minute to compose herself before replying. "Yes, I am. However, I have a few conditions that I want to make."

"Alright then", I replied with a smirk, "What are your conditions?"

"First off, I don't just want to role play as zoo animals. I also want to role play as characters and creatures from different video games, cartoon, movies, and anime.

"Alright, but no role playing as characters who are couples."

"Fair enough", she said before continuing, "Secondly, when we do prank Celestia, we use the old "fake alien abduction" prank."

"Ah, one of oldest and most entertaining pranks of all time", I said, already imagining the look on Celestia's face, "Very well then. Any other conditions?"

"Yes, there is. I would also like to make a new addition to our group."

"Ok then, how did you have in mind?"

"Princess Luna."

"What, what?!", I said rather shocked at her suggestion.

"Look, I know that she is still Nightmare Moon and I know that freeing her from her banishment early would mess up the timeline, but I refuse to let Luna suffer any longer because Celestia failed as a big sister and didn't take responsibility for her actions. Look, do you remember Starry Night?" 

"Yes, what about her?"

"Well, she reminded me of Luna. She was so young, but she was constantly in her big sister's shadow, and therefore, she suffered because of everpony treating her like she wasn't important, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let Luna be stuck on the moon any longer!"

I remained silent as Nightshade spoke and I was impressed by her resolve. She was determined to help Luna in any way, regardless of the timeline.

"Alright then, I see if I can find a way to free Luna from Nightmare Moon and her banishment that doesn't mess up the timeline, okay?"

Okay", she said, happy that I agreed to help Luna, "And for my final condition, when you reveal yourself and things don't end badly, I would like it if Fluttershy would join us when we role play as animals."

"Wait, why Fluttershy?", I asked.

"Well, she's an animal caretaker and she'd probably enjoy it if she got a chance to experience things from the animal's perspective."

"Huh", I said, " You know, that's not a bad idea. Yeah, we can do that."

"Wonderful", she said.

"Well", I said, letting out a yawn, " I think it's time we got some shut eye. It's been a long night."

We headed over to one side of the cave and laid down next to each other. We said good night to each other and began to doze off. Before long, we were both fast asleep, dreaming of all the fun that we were going to have.
> Chapter Four: Of Authors, Ahuizotls, Arms, and Alucards
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a few weeks since our arrival in Vanhoover and winter had already come. The air was freezing and the ground was covered in snow. We had just left town this morning and headed north, towards the Crystal Mountains. We were bundled up from head to tail in thick winter clothing and while I was pulling the trailer, Nightshade was laying on the roof and was talking about which vampires in the fictional universe were better.

"Alucard is the best vampire, hands down.", she said, "I mean, have you seen some of the crazy things he can do?"

"I know, right?", I replied, "And he just shrugs it off like it's nothing. You'd think he was immortal or something."

"Oh, he's not immortal.", Nightshade retorted, "Just damn near impossible to kill."

"Amen to that.", I said before realising that the part of the forest we were traveling through looked familiar. So, I stopped walking and pulled out my map of Equestria to see if my theory was right.

"Hey, Discord!", Nightshade said before teleporting to my side, "Why are we stopping?"

"Come on Nighty, we talked about this.", I said, ignoring her scowl at her nickname, "When I'm in this form, you are to refer to me as your adopted sister, Breezy Day. Right now, we can't risk messing up the timeline, so the less ponies who know who I really am, the better."

"So, why can't I refer to you by the name you had before you came to this world?", she asked.

"Because I can't even remember what it was.", I said, looking up from the map, "Everything before I ended up in Discord's body is just a hazy blur. All is know is that I was human and I ended up here because I died."

It was true. Ever since I first came to Equestria, I've been unable to recall nearly anything from my previous life. I figured it had something to do with me been thrown into Discord's body. Either way, the fact that I couldn't remember my past was driving me crazy. I hated not being able to remember who my family and friends were.

"Oh, right. Sorry I asked.", Nightshade said depressingly with her head looking down in sadness.

"It's ok, sis.", I said, trying to make her feel better, "Just think about that before you ask next time, okay?"

"Okay.", she said, feeling a bit better already, "And Breezy?"

"Yeah?" 

"Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round."

We then both started laughing at the Red vs. Blue reference that she made. While I may have created her and is technically still my shadow, Nighshade has developed a personality of her own and as well as becoming her own individual.

"Now, to answer your earlier question", I said once we had calmed down, "I stopped because this part of the forest looks familiar from the show."

"Yeah, you're right.", Nightshade said, "Doesn't Daring Do live around here?"

"Yeah, I think so too.", I replied, "Do you wanna go pay her a visit?"

"Sure, we got time.", I said, "Plus, I'm curious about what the pony equivalent of Indiana Jones is like in person."

"Yeah, and maybe we can sort out that trust problem of hers.", I said as I started pulling the trailer again.

"Hey, wait a minute.", Nightshade said as she walked beside me, "I thought we weren't suppose to mess with the show's timeline."

"Oh, we're not.", I said as a mischievous smirk began to form on my face, "However, that doesn't mean we can't make a few... changes to the script."

It took us a while, but we were able to find her house. It looked much nicer on the outside than it did in Daring Don't. We knock on the door, but no one answered. So, we decided to go inside and take a look around. However, the inside was just as messy as it was in the show.

"Geez, you'd think she'd take better care of her home.", I said as we took off our winter clothes and teleported them back to our wardrobes, "I mean, I know she spends most of her time exploring, but that doesn't mean that she shouldn't keep her house presentable."

"Yeah, it looks like a tornado blew through here."

We then decided that we would do her a favor and tidy the place up a bit. We got to work, using our magic to put books back on their shelves, repair the windows and floors, and throw away the trash that was on the floor. After a few minutes of cleaning, the place finally looked presentable.

"There, now this place looks much nicer than before.", I said as Nightshade and I admired our hard work.

"Um, excuse me?", said a voice from behind us. We turn and came face to face with Daring Do in her A.K. Yearling disguise, standing in the middle of a doorway leading to what I can only assume is the basement.

"Who are you two and why are you in my house?", she asked, raising an eyebrow of curiosity.

"Oh, my name is Breezy Day and this is my adopted sister, Nightshade.", I said, "And as for why we're in your house, well, we were just passing through when we saw this house in the middle of the woods, so we decided to see who lived here. However, when we took a look inside, we found the place to be an absolute mess. So, we decided to do you a favor and cleaned things up in here a bit."

"Right.", Daring Do said with a look on her face that said "I don't believe you", "While I appreciate the both of you doing this for me, I'm going to have to ask you two leave."

"Why would we want to leave when we just met you?", I asked.

"Yeah.", Nightshade said, "After all, we have much to discuss, Daring Do."

Almost instantly, Daring Do's facial expression change to shock. Understanding her need to hide her identity, I used my magic to shut the door and close the blinds on the windows. Once that was done, Daring Do had a look of anger on her face.

"All right.", she said, sounding like she was ready to fight, "What do you two want with me and how do you know who I am? Did Ahuizolt send you?"

"Fear not, Miss Do, we do not work for your arch-enemy.", I said, hold my hooves up in defence, "We came here of our own free will simply because we wish to talk with you. As for how we know who are, well, you have the same coat, mane, and eye color as the character in your books, so it's pretty obvious that you two are one in the same pony."

Daring open her mouth to say something, but paused. She appeared to be deep in thought for a while before she give her answer.

"Look, I'm still not sure if I can trust you too, but I'm willing to hear you out.", said Daring, "However, if either of you try anything, I'm gonna knock you both into next week."

"Very well.", I said before use my magic to conjure up a table, three chairs, and three cups of tea, "Now then, let's get down to business, shall we?"

"Wha... How did you do that?", Daring asked in disbelief, shock written all over her face, "No normal unicorn could do what you just did. I'm not even sure that Princess Celestia herself could do something like this. So, how come you can?"

"Ah, an excellent question, Miss Do.", I said as Nightshade and I each took a seat in one of the chairs, "You see, I was born with powerful magic. Magic that may even stronger than the magic of the princess herself. However, it can be a bit... unpredictable, chaotic even, most of the time."

"So, how come you can control it?", Daring asked as she took a seat in one of the chairs.

"Well, it's not about control.", I said as I took a sip of my tea, "You see, when I was young, I realised that in order for my magic to work, I had to try and shape it into what I wanted it to do. Trying to force my magic to do what I want to do would cause my magic to react violently.  So, that's what I did and it's been working just fine for me."

"Okay, so what exactly did you two want to take to me about?", she asked before take a sip from her own cup of tea.

"Why, you, of course. Specifically, your line of work."

"Whoa, wait a second.", Daring said, choking on her tea a bit, "I appreciate you cleaning up my home, but let me make one thing clear to both of you. I. Work. Alone."

"And we understand and respect your reasons for needing to work alone, Miss Do.", Nightshade said, "However, let me ask you this. What happens when you get into a dangerous situation that you can't get out of by yourself?"

"What do you mean by that?", Daring asked, still not getting the idea.

"Well, let's say you wind up being caught in a trap that was set by your arch-enemy, Ahuizotl.", she continued as I used my magic to make a display of the situation, "You have absolutely no way of getting out and there's nothing to help you escape. You are moments away from your demise. What do you do?"

Daring was shocked by the question. It was like she never thought about it before. She didn't answer us for a few minutes. She was deep in thought, occasionally opening her mouth to say something, but then quickly shut it.

"I-I don't know. I've never thought about it before.", she finally said, "Usually, I get lucky and find a way to escape."

"Exactly our point, Miss Do.", I said as I made the display disappear, "It's always important to have some backup when faced with situations like that. You may be an excellent explorer and adventurer, but you must remember that you can't do everything by yourself. You're only one mare and your luck may run out when you need it most."

Daring was speechless. She slumped back down into her chair, the reality settling in on her. After a few moments, she snapped herself out of her shock.

"I-I guess you're right.", she finally said, "But even so, I'm sure who to trust and who not to."

"Well, Miss Do, I believe we can help you get started on that.", I said, holding out my hoof, "All you need to do is give us a chance."

Daring just stared at my hoof, weighing the pros and cons in her mind most likely. After a few moments of thinking, she reached out and shook my hoof.

"Very well then, I give you a couple hours. If you can prove yourselves, then you have my trust.", she said after she finished shaking my hoof, "And please, call me Daring. Miss Do makes sound like an old mare."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Excuse me for a moment." Darling said as she got out of her seat at the sound of someone knocking at the door, "I need to get that."

"Sure thing.", I said before noticing that Nightshade looked tense, "Hey sis, are you alright?"

"Huh.. What?", she said, "Oh, sorry. I just have a feeling that something really bad is about to happen."

"Oh really?", I asked, "Like what?"

Before Nightshade could answer, something crashed into the table, breaking it into pieces. We looked at the remains of the table and saw Daring Do, her disguise all torn up and a large bruise on her face. We then turned in the direction that she came from and saw Ahuizolt standing in the doorway.

"Never mind.", I said.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my nemesis, Daring Do.", said Ahuizolt with a smug smirk on his face, "Or perhaps you'd prefer it if I called you by your other name, A.K. Yearling?"

Daring, after recovering from the blow she just took, was shocked at learning that her arch enemy had discovered her secret.

"I bet your wondering how I figured it out.", Ahuizolt said before he launched into the whole 'villain bragging about their genius to the hero' thing, "Well, after our last encounter, I had my minions trail you, observing you, trying to find a weakness that I could exploit. However, when they told me where you lived, I looked up how lived in this house and it didn't take long for me to piece together that A.K. Yearling and Daring Do were one in the same. Still, that was nothing compared to when I learned that I had hit the jackpot. For I know that somewhere in this house, you've kept a stash of all the treasure you've collected over the years. I came here earlier and I tore this entire house from top to bottom, but I found nothing. However, when one of my minions reported that you were heading this way, I hid in the bushes nearby, waiting until you would return and then, upon seeing the state of your home, would check your vault and led me right to it."

"I was about to follow you when these two", he continued while pointing at me and Nightshade, "decided to show up. This was unexpected as I believed that nopony would venture out hear. Nonetheless, their presence gave me time to set things up to take all three of you down, which brings me back to my original point. Hand over every single piece of treasure that you have and I may go easy on you."

"If you think that I'm just going to hand a whole bunch of dangerous artifacts over to you without putting up a fight", Daring said as she got up and tore the remains of her disguise off, revealing her adventuring outfit, "You're sorely mistaken."

Ahuizolt merely chuckled at Daring's resolve, "So be it."

Now, normally I would have just sit back and watched the hilarity and violence unfurl before me. However, with this being the first fight I've encountered since arriving in this world, I felt that myself and Nightshade should get in on the action.

"Now hold on a minute.", I said as I teleported between the two of them, "Before we start the fight, why don't we make things a little more... interesting?"

Both of them had different expressions on their faces. Daring was looking at me like I was crazy, while Ahuizolt had a look of curiosity on his face.

"What are you taking about?", Ahuizolt finally said.

"What I'm talking about is making a little wager between us.  After all, what have you got to lose?"

Ahuizolt stare at me for a few moments, but I could tell that he was considering listening to what I had to say.

"Very well then.", he finally said, "What is the wager?"

A large grin appeared on my face as I explained the details, "It's quite simple really. Daring Do, Nightshade, and myself versus you at whatever forces you brought with you. If we win, you are to never step foot on Daring's property ever again or reveal her identity to anyone who doesn't work for you and if you win, you will not only get what's in Daring's stash, but you'll also get some very powerful items that I have collected myself."

"What kind of items do you speak of?", Ahuizolt asked with interest.

"I'm glad you asked.", I said, the grin never leaving my face, "Nightshade, would you be so kind as to fetch the Devil Arms for me?"

"Certainly, my sister.", she said with a grin on her face that rivalled mine. She then turned into a floating mass of darkness and shot out the door and into our trailer.

"Show off.", I muttered under my breath, ignoring the shocked expressions of the other two occupants in the room.

"Let me guess, her magic is powerful too?", Daring asked after snapping out of her shock.

"That is correct.", I said before Nightshade returned while carrying a large cabinet that was chained shut with the lock in the shape of a demon's head. She set the cabinet down in the center of the room before returning to her pony form.  

"Thank you, Nightshade.", I said before pulling a demonic looking key out of nowhere, which cause the eyes of the lock to glow briefly before it's mouth opened, revealing the keyhole. I inserted the key into the hole and turned it, causing the chains to retract into the lock. I then opened the cabinet, revealing all the Devil Arms from the original Devil May Cry series.   

Hanging on the left side door was Dante's sword, Rebellion, along with his guns, Ebony and Ivory, Nevan, and the twin blades, Agni and Runda. Hanging on the right side was Lucifer, along with Gilgmeash, Alastor, and Beowulf. Inside the cabinet itself was Vergil's sword, Yamato, along with Pandora, Cerberus, and Ifrit.

Ahuizolt had a look of greed on his face as he stared at the weapons and I knew I had him right where I wanted him.

"Like what you see?", I asked jokingly, "What you see before you are what's known as Devil Arms, which are demonic weapons that are also the manifestation of a defeated demon's soul or power. Each Devil Arm has their own unique abilities."

"For example," I said as I pulled out Pandora, "this one is called Pandora and while it may not look like much, it's has the ability to turn into 666 different weapons."

I then spent the next few minutes showing Ahuizolt some of Pandora's different forms, including #422: Grief, which was a giant shuriken and #13: Epidemic, which was a large blowgun. 

"So, do we have a deal?", I asked as I put Pandora back in the cabinet, locked the cabinet back up, and teleported it back into my trailer.

Ahuizolt snapped out of his shock and composed himself. "Very well, I agree to your terms."

"Excellent.", I said as I summoned a contract with the terms of the deal on it as well as a quill and a jar of ink, "Now then, you need just to sign this in order to make it official."

Ahuizolt looked over the contract for a few moments before grabbing the quill and signing his name on the dotted line at the bottom of the contract.

"And now...", I said as I made the contract disappear before holding out my hoof, which became covered in green flames, "To seal the deal."

Ahuizolt was surprised by the flames coming out of my hoof, but when he realized that the flames were harmless, he reached out and shook it.

"Wonderful.", I said as the flames disappeared, "We'll give you a few minutes to prepare your forces for the battle. You'd better hurry though. We won't be long."

"Very well then.", Ahuizolt said before he made his way outside, shutting the front door behind him.

"Are you crazy?!", Daring said after Ahuizolt had left, "Do you have any idea who you're dealing with? Ahuizolt is no pushover. Trust me,  I know from experience."

"Daring, do remember what I said earlier about trusting me?", I asked.

"Yes."

"Well, trust me when I say that there are beings out there who are far more powerful that he is. We going to fight him and you can't stop us. Plus, I've been in need of a good workout for sometime."

Daring just stared at us for a few moments before letting out a sigh of defeat.

"There really is no talking you guys out of this, is there?", she asked.

"Nope", I said

"No way in hell.", said Nightshade.

"Fine, you two can come help me fight.", Daring said, "However, I can't be held responsible if something happens to either of you."

"Fair enough.", I said before all of us headed outside.

Upon exiting the house, we saw Ahuizolt with his cat minions that he brought with him. All of them, except for Ahuizolt, were shivering due to the cold, even though they were covered in fur. I then realised that snow and the frigid air could interfere with the battle. I was about to do something of it when Ahuizolt spoke to me.

"Are you three ready for the fight of your lives?", he asked.

"As ready as we'll every be.", I said as I began to charge my magic, "However, there's still one little thing that needs to be taken care of first."

Once my magic was fully charged, I shot a large beam out of my horn and into the sky. The magic that is shot out then covered Daring's house and the surrounding area in a large dome. Once the dome was complete, the temperature inside it started to rise. The snow began to melt and the trees regained their leaves.

"What did you just do?", Ahuizolt asked as he and his minions were shocked at the display of powerful magic.

"I merely performed a spell that created a dome that brought the surrounding area to a suitable temperature and will keep anyone outside of it from hearing our fight.", I said with a smug grin on my face, "We wouldn't want anything to interfere with our battle now, would we?"

"Hmm, interesting.", Ahuizolt said, "It seems you have some powerful allies, Daring Do. However, even with the three of you working together, I'll still be able to beat all of you."

"I've beaten you before and I'll do it again, with or without help.", Daring said bravely.

Ahuizolt once again chuckled at her resolve as he got ready to fight. "We shall see about that."

"Hey, do you guys mind if I take first crack at him?", Daring asked Nightshade and I.

"By all means, he's yours.", I said as the two of us stepped back a little.

Almost immediately, Daring jumped into the air and flew directly at Ahuizolt with the intention of clobbering him, but once she got close enough, he merely sidestepped to the right, causing her to crash into a tree.

"I see you're still as predictable as ever, Daring Do.", Ahuizolt chuckled, "Always running headfirst into danger. Do you really think that strategy will save you now?"

"Shut up!", Daring yelled as she pulled herself out of the tree, looking a little banged up but relatively fine, "I gonna enjoy wiping that smug grin off your face."

"Not this time, I'm afraid.", Ahuizolt said, "For you see, you've fallen right into my trap."

Ahuizolt then snapped his fingers with his tail-hand, causing some bolas to shoot out of the bushes and bind Daring's hoofs. Once she was knocked to the ground, a large net appear over her, binding her even further.

"What the heck?", Daring said as she struggled against her bindings.

"Did you really think that I would come here without some kind of plan?", Ahuizolt said as a few pony henchmen emerged from the bushes, "You see, I know how you fight, Daring Do. I know you act and most importantly, I know how to beat you. So, you better give up now and I promise to make this as painless as possible."

"Normally, I'd refuse your offer.", Daring said as she continued to struggle, "However, there's just one thing you've forgotten about."

"And what would that be?"

"Me, you dumbass!", I yelled as I teleported in front of him and kicked him in the face, sending him flying, before heading over to help Daring.

"Now do you see what we were talking about earlier?", Nightshade said as she came over to help.

"Ok, ok, I admit it.", Daring said, "You two were right. It doesn't hurt to have some backup so long as they can be trusted and both of you have earned my trust. Happy now?"

"Yes, yes we are.", I said, satisfied that she learned her lesson, "Now then, hold still so we can get you out of there."

"Not so fast!", Ahuizolt shouted as he got up off the ground, "If you think that you can hit me and then pretend like I'm not here, think again."

"You say something?", I said as I turned to face him with a bored expression on my face.

Immediately, Daring and Nightshade burst out laughing and Ahuizolt gained a look of unholy rage on his face.

"GET THEM!", Ahuizolt roared and his henchmen started to charge us.

"You help Daring get out of those bindings.", Nightshade said, " I'll take care of these idiots."

"Are you sure you can take them?", I asked.

"Absolutely.", she said with a Cheshire Cat-like grin on her face, "Besides, our talk earlier gave me the perfect idea of how to deal with them, especially the hairball hackers."

The cats overheard that last comment she made and became enraged as they pounced on Nightshade. However, just as they did, she quickly turned into a large  of darkness and sank into the floors, dodging the cats and then reappearing in front of them.

"Oh shame for you", Nightshade said in a demonic voice as hundreds of red eyes opened all over the pool of shadows and a large black dog rose from it, "You activated my Alucard."

The dog let loose a monstrous roar and both the cats and the ponies immediately ran off, scared out of their minds.

"Get back here, you cowards!", Ahuizolt yelled, but it was too late. This infuriated him even more and he then turned his attention back to us.

"You know", I said as I freed Daring form her bindings, "the next time you try to find good henchmen, you should make sure that they aren't a bunch of scaredy cats."

Ahuizolt let loose a roar of anger and pounced on Daring and I. We jumped out of the way, but he was able to grab me with his tail-hand and throw me into a tree. I hit it hard and as I slid down it, I felt something break off from my face. I groaned in pain as I picked myself up of the ground with everything appearing blurry before coming into focus. When I looked at the others, they were all staring at me like there was something wrong with me.

"What are you all looking at?", I asked, my voice sounding like a mixture of Breezy Day's voice and Discord's voice for some reason.

"Breezy... Your face...", Daring said, trying to speak in complete sentences, but was overtaken by shock.

"What about my face?", I asked, pulling a small mirror out of nowhere and looking at it. As soon as I saw my reflection, I knew what they were staring at.

It turns out I hit that tree so hard that half of my face broken off like a mask being shattered, revealing the left side of Discord's face.

"Well", I said, breaking the silence, "this is awkward."
> Updates and plans for the future
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, world! It is I, FeltyElk7!

It's been a long time for all of us, fellow readers, but now...

I'm baaaaaaack!!

Well, originally, I had planned to make the previous chapter one really long chapter, but then I got distracted with school and taking exams and other stuff. So, let me just say that I apologize for neglecting this story. This the first story I've ever writen and I feel bad for putting it on hold for over a year. So, hopefully, the next update wouldn't take so long.

Anyway, on the matter of my plans for this story in the future.

First off, I will not be getting rid of Discord. I feel like he's just too good of a character to get rid of. So, rest assured Discord fans, he will make a return during the confrontation with Nightmare Moon, but how he will return is a surprise.

Next, for those of you wondering, the timeline of the show in my story will be roughly the same. However, some episodes will be either cut out or edited in one way or another.

Also, I'm considering giving some of the characters in the show the powers, abilities, and/or items of one or more characters from other universes as well as bring items from other universes to Equestria. An example would be giving Pinkie the Devil Fruit powers of Monkey D. Luffy, or perhaps giving Fluttershy the suitcase which belonged to Newt Scamander that has all the magical creatures inside of it. Other ideas will be revealed in due time.

I'm also considering having Breezy Day and Discord create their own set of 7 certain wish granting orbs. You know the ones I'm talking about.

Speaking of new power, I believe that the Elements of Harmony can do more than just fire a giant rainbow laser. Therefore, I'm making it so that they can give Twilight and her friends a power boost as well as unlock new abilities and weapons for them to use. They will need to wear their respective Elements in order for them to use their powers at their full potential, but the abilities and weapons will become a part of them so they use them even if they don't have the Elements of Harmony with them.

Also, I decided to this story will end once Breezy and her friends get settled in Ponyville and a new story will began at the first episode of season 1.  There will be one story for each season and each movie.

I'm also planning on adding a few more characters to Breezy's gang. I'll be adding Princess Luna, who will be a fortune teller given her ability to see the dreams of ponies, Trixie, who will do her magic show and will be Luna's student, and Gilda, who will serve as a bodyguard. Luna will join when Breezy, Nightshade, and Discord return from the moon, Trixie and Gilda will join when they visit Manehattan.

Another future plan is where Breezy and her friends will be staying once they arrive in Ponyville. After much thinking, I've decided that while Gilda will get Finn and Jake's treehouse and Discord will live in his own private dimension, Breezy, Nightshade, Trixie, and Luna will take up residence in Kong Studios, the former home of popular cartoon band, Gorillaz, who wrote songs like Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., On Melancholy Hill, and most recently, Saturnz Barz, because it is such an awesome place.

Now, some of you may be wondering what Kong Studios is exactly. Well, these videos of the building during Phase 1, the first DVD of Gorillaz, Celebrity Takedown, the MTV Cribs episode of Kong Studios, the ruins of the building after Phase 2, and the second DVD, Slowboat to Hades, should give a good idea of it's layout.

As for the building in my story, while the exterior will look like it did in Phase 2, the interior will be a mixture of the first 2 Gorillaz phases plus a few extra rooms I'll add myself. It will be rebuilt and cleaned up, come with both the graveyard and landfill, and will be built on the edge of Ponyville. As for who will have what room, Trixie will stay in Noodle's room, Luna will have Russel's room, Nightshade will get Murdoc's Winnebago, and Breezy Day shall stay in 2-D's room.

Speaking of Gorillaz, I may do a story in the future where they either appear in the Rainbow Rocks movie while on tour or they appear in Equestria after escaping Plastic Beach when it was attacked by pirates. 

I'm also planning on giving Breezy Day and Nightshade their own Equestria Girls counterparts who will also be friends with Sci-Twi and go to Crystal Prep with her. 

Anyway, that's all I'm revealing for now, but there will be more to come. So, as always, leave your comments in the comment section and I'll talk to you all later.
> Chapter Five: Multiverse Theory 101
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is bad.", I thought as Daring and Ahuizolt were both in shock, their brains trying to process the fact that I was Discord, "I was hoping to avoid this for a while longer, but it seems like I have now choice now."

Using my magic, I quickly bound Ahuizolt in chains so he wouldn't attack or try to escape.

"What the hay is going on here?!", Daring yelled, snapping out of her shock.

"Just stay calm, Daring.", I said, trying to avoid any hostility, "I can explain everything."

"I don't want explanations. I want the truth.", Daring said, "When exactly were you planing on telling me that you were actually Discord?"

"Actually, we were planning on telling you once we gain your trust, so you didn't freak out like you're doing right now.", Nightshade said as she walked over to me.

"Well excuse me, but I just found out that your "sister" is actually the spirit of chaos and disharmony, so I believe I have the right to freak out a bit.", Daring said.

"That is correct, Daring.", I said, "Also, you should know  that you're only half right because while may I have Discord's body, the man himself isn't in the driver's seat right now."

"What's that supposed to mean?", Daring asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Worry not, Daring, for I will gladly explain the situation to you.", I said, "But first..."

I then spun around like a twister and picked up Nightshade, Daring, and Ahuizolth. As I continue to spin, I made a chalkboard and three desks appear and I then placed the others each in a desk. Once they were all seated, I stopped spinning in front of the chalkboard, revealing that I had repaired my face and I was wearing half-moon spectacles and holding a teacher's stick in my hooves.

"All right, listen up.", I said, "Class is in session. Today's lesson is Multiverse Theory 101. Now then, does anyone have any questions before we start?"

Almost instantly, Daring raised her hoof in the air, trying to get my attention, while Ahuizolth was struggling to free himself from the chains, and Nightshade watching the whole thing with an amusing expression on her face.

"Yes, Miss Do, what is your question?", I asked after a few moments.

"I have two questions actually.", Daring said, "One, what does this lesson have to do with why your the spirit of chaos and disharmony, and two, why is Ahuizolth the only one in chains?"

"Everything will become clear by the end of the lesson, Daring.", I said with a small smile on my face, "And Ahuizolth is in chains for everyone's safety, including his own."

"Well, okay then." Daring said, "I still have some more questions, but I'll save them for later."

"Excellent!", I said before turning my attention to the blackboard and using my magic to draw images to go along with the lesson, "Now, to begin with, you should know that there are an infinite number of universes and the reality in each universe is different from our own. Now, in some universes, the differences are minuscule and unnoticeable while in other universes, the differences make it seem like you're on an entirely different world. There could be a universe were you and Ahuizolth are lovers, or a universe were you guys the opposite gender, or a universe where you two are lovers and the opposite gender."

I passed the lesson quickly and looked at Daring and Ahuizolth, who both had disgusted expressions at the thought of being lovers and/or the opposite gender. Meanwhile, Nightshade, who found the whole thing to be very humorous, was struggling to contain her laughter.

"Anyway, let's continue with our lesson.", I said, turning back to the blackboard, "Now, as I mentioned earlier, while I do have Discord's body and powers, Discord himself is not in control right now. The reason for this is because I am actually someone who died in an alternate universe and my spirit got throw into Discord's body. I'm not sure how or why this happened, but what I do know is that Discord is still in this body somewhere. I don't know how to bring him yet, but I will eventually. In the meantime, I have been traveling Equestria disguised as a pony, just seeing all there is to see."

"In any case, this concludes today's lesson.", I said, returning my attention to the others, "Now, I believe you had some more questions, Daring."

"Yes, I do.", said Daring, "Firstly, how do I know if what you've told me is the truth or not, and two, if it is true, how are you going to deal with Discord when you've found him?"

"Excellent questions, Daring.", I said, "To answer your first question, let me ask you something. If I really was Discord, wouldn't I have tried to take over Equestria by now?"

"Well, yeah.", Daring said after a few moments of silence, "That actually does make sense now that I think about."

"Exactly my point.", I said, taking off my spectacles, "I have no reason to take over Equestria, so you have nothing to worry about, my friend. Now, to answer your second, it's probably easier if I just show you."

Turning back to the blackboard, I charged up my magic and fired it at the blackboard, which opened up a portal upon impact. Upon looking through the portal, I saw the area on the other side. It was a massive void filled with floating islands of different shapes and sizes, which were connected by bridges made from random things. The sky was a swirl of both night and day, with the sun and the moon merged together into one sphere that was spinning in a circle. There were also many different creatures, such as flying pigs and sky fish, zooming all over the place. A floating train track ran through the void with as many twists and turns as a roller coaster with the train itself moving backwards. In the center of the void was a island bigger that the others, which had cotton candy clouds above it that were raining chocolate milk down on the island and rivers of lava that flowed upward off the island. The ground of the island was a purple checkerboard pattern and had long legged rabbits running across the landscape as well as some roads that were made from soap. There was also a town that resembled Ponyville when Discord turned it into "The Chaos Capital of the World" and in the center of the town stood Discord's high-back, ruby-eyed, horned throne from when he ruled Equestria. The town was inhabited, but the citizens were all currently hiding in their homes. 

"What is that?", Daring asked as she and Nightshade walked over to the portal.

"That, my dear, is my greatest creation to date." I said, "You see, it all began a few weeks ago when I was viewing the many different realities in the multiverse. As I scrolled through universe after universe, I stumbled across something that peaked my interest. A world that perfectly normal with no villains, heroes, or princesses. An Equestria that had  no Elements of Harmony in it. It was a universe that wasn't effected by any inside or outside forces. Upon realising this, a marvellous idea popped into my head. I could use this universe as a place for Discord to rule over as he sees fit so he wouldn't try and take over this Equestria again. In here, he can cause as much chaos as he wants to."

"That's... actually not a bad idea.", Daring said.

"I know, right?", I asked, "Anyway, since the portal is open, I might as well take care of something quickly."

Using my magic, I picked up Ahuizolth and levitated him over to the portal.

"Alright, listen up, buddy.", I said, "Do you see what's on the other side of the portal? That is where going to spend the rest of your life if you break the contract that you signed. So, you have two choices to make. You can either agree to uphold your end of the contract or you can be trapped in another dimension forever. What's it gonna be?"

Ahuizolth was silent for a few moments, considering his options carefully. Eventually, he came to a decision.

"I... will uphold my end of the bargain.", he said begrudgingly.

"Wise decision.", I said as I made the portal, the blackboard, the desks and the magical dome surrounding the area disappear.

"So, what are you going to do with him now?", Daring asked.

"Why, I'm going to send him off the old-fashioned way, of course." I said with a mischievous smile on my face, "I'm sending him off with a bang!"

I then dashed into my trailer and after a few minutes of rummaging, I came out with a large cannon, a crate of dynamite, and a small bomb. I picked Ahuizolth with my magic and shoved him into the cannon. Unfortunately, he wouldn't go in all the way, so I pull a giant mallet out of nowhere and hit him with enough to push him in, but not damage the cannon. Once he was inside all the way with only his tail-hand sticking out, I tossed the mallet into the trailer, loaded the dynamite into the cannon, and placed the bomb in the palm of his tail-hand. I then dashed to the other end of the cannon and pointed the cannon at the sky.

"Oh, oh, can I light the the fuse, Breezy?", Nightshade said excitedly, "Please?"

"Sure, go right ahead.", I said, moving out of the way.

"Thank you.", she said as she walked over to the cannon. Once she was there, she morphed her head into the head of a dragon. She then breathed fire onto the fuse, which ignited it, and morphed her head back to normal.

"Fire in the hole!", I yelled just as the last of the fuse ran out.

BOOM!!

The cannon fired with a mighty explosion, launching Ahuizolth, who was screaming at the top of his lungs, off into the distance until he was no longer visable.

"Well, that certainly was a bang, but it did seem a bit overkill.", Daring said, "Is he going to be alright?"

"Don't worry, he'll survive.", I assured her as I threw the cannon and the crate back into the trailer.

Suddenly, I felt my sixth sense go all kinds of crazy. Quickly reacting, I turned my eyes into binoculars and zoomed in on where I felt the disturbance. I then saw a group of royal guards that were heading in this direction.

"Oh, dear.", I said as I returned my eyes to normal, "It seems that our little finale has attracted some unwanted attention. We must leave immediately. You ready our escape, Nightshade, while I say goodbye to Daring ."

"On it, sis.", said Nightshade before she ran to the trailer.

"Sorry we have to leave so suddenly, Daring, but I don't want to deal with the authorities just yet.", I said.

"It's okay. I understand.", Daring said, "You need to keep up your secret identity. I totally get that."

"Speaking of which, you may want to change if you want to keep up your secret identity.", I said, pointing at her outfit.

Upon realising what I was talking about, Daring quickly ran into her house and after a few seconds, she ran back out wearing her A.K. Yearling disguise.

"Thanks for reminding me.", Daring said.

"No problem, and before I leave, I want to give you something.", I said before I pulled a fancy-looking hand mirror out of nowhere and gave it to her.

"A mirror?", Daring said confusingly as she took the mirror and held in her hoof.

"That's no ordinary mirror, my friend.", I said, "That is a magic mirror. All you have to do is press the red Jewel on the handle and you can call me if you need help or if you want to hang out."

"Oh, well, thank you.", Daring said as she put the mirror in her cloak.

"You're welcome.", I said before making my way to my trailer, "Well, until we meet again, arrivederci!"

I then ran to the front of the trailer and joined Nightshade, who was sitting on a bench attached to the trailer. Once I was seated next to her, she pushed a small button on the armrest on her side of the bench, which caused rocket boosters to pop out of the back of the trailer.

"Ready to go, sis?", Nightshade asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be.", I said 

Nightshade then pulled a lever next to the bench that controlled the boasters. Unfortunately, she accidentally pull it all the way to "Ludicrous Speed" before it broke.

"Uh oh.", Nightshade and I said in unison. 

Just then, the boosters kick in and we blasted off at speeds that would make Rainbow Dash jealous. We zoomed through the forest and up the Crystal Mountains so fast that when we reached the peak, we were launch into the sky and somehow end up rocketing out of the atmosphere. 

"Well, things are looking pretty bad right now.", I said as the planet was getting farther away.

"There about to get even worse.", said Nightshade 

"How could it possibly get any worse?", I asked.

Nightshade merely pointed in front of us and it was then that I saw that we were on a collision course... with the moon!

"I walked right into that one, didn't I?" I said.

"Yes, yes you did.", Nightshade said.

"Fair enough.", I said before I hit a red button on my armrest that said "Eject" on it, "Abandon ship!"

We were then launched from your seats and landed on the surface of the moon just before the trailer crashed behind us and exploded. It was then that I realised that Nightshade was right. Things had gotten worse because we were now on the moon, our trailer was destroyed, and the explosion had most likely alerted Nightmare Moon of our presence. Therefore, there was only one way to summarise our situation.

"Well... shit."
> Chapter Six: Snickers, S'mores, and Space Ponies
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been half an hour since we crashed on the moon and the remains of our trailer were still burning despite that fact that we were on the moon. Nightshade seemed to be quite upset about the whole thing and was currently pacing back and forth and mumbling angrily under her breath.

"So, just to recap, we are now stranded on the moon with nowhere to live, no way to return to Equestria, and we may have just made your presence known to the ruler of the night.", Nightshade said angrily as she continued to pace, "Does that about sum up our situation?"

"Yep.", I said as I pulled some sticks, a bag of marshmallows, some chocolate bars, and a pack of graham crackers out of nowhere.

"And now you're just going to sit there and make s'mores?!", Nightshade yelled.

"Nightshade, are you angry at me for doing nothing productive or are angry at yourself for accidentally setting the boosters to "Ludicrous Speed" earlier?", I asked.

"I'M NOT ANGRY!", Nightshade yelled as her powers were reacting to her anger with her voice sounding more demonic, her eyes glowing red, multiple black tentacles sprouting from her back, and her head morphing into that of a wolf.

She then proceed to take her anger out on some nearby moon rocks. Meanwhile, I just started at her with an "Are you serious?" look on my face before proceeding to making s'mores. Eventually, I got tired of listening to the sounds of destruction and anger screams, so I decided to go and calm her down by using the only thing powerful enough to do the job... a Snickers bar.

"Nightshade, you need to eat this Snickers bar!", I yelled as I unwrapped the bar.

"WHY SHOULD I?", Nightshade yelled in a demonic voice as she appeared in front of me.

"Because you're not yourself when your hungry." I said as I opened her mouth and shoved the Snickers bar inside before closing it.

Upon eating the bar, Nightshade returned to her pony form and appeared to be much calmer now.

"So, have you finally calmed down?", I asked.

"Yeah.", Nightshade said in her normal voice, though she did sound quite sad, "And to answer your question from earlier, I was angry with myself for crashing on the moon."

"Nightshade, it was an accident.", I said, trying to comfort her, "There's no way you could have know this would happen."

"But...", Nightshade tried to say.

"Look, if I remember anything that I learned in my old life, it's that what's done is done and there's no use complaining about it.", I said, "Now then, why don't we go and eat some s'mores before Nightmare Moon shows up?"

"Yeah, I'd like that.", Nightshade said as we made our way back to the fire.

Fortunately for us, we didn't have to wait very long because after a few minutes, Nightmare Moon came flying in our direction and landed behind us with a confused look on her face.

"Who are you two and how did you get here?!", Nightmare Moon yelled in the Royal Canterlot voice.

"Well, I'm Breezy Day, this is my sister, Nightshade, and we arrived here due to an accident with our trailer, which is now destroyed and on fire.", I said as I slowly regained my hearing.

"Also, could you please lower your voice?", Nightshade said as she cleaned out her ear, "I'm surprised they can't hear you all the way in Equestria."

"How dare you!", Nightmare Moon yelled angrily, "It is tradition to use the Royal Canterlot voice!"

"Maybe in Equestria, it is.", Nightshade retorted, "However, we're not in Equestria, are we?"

Nightmare Moon merely stuttered as she tried to make a rebuttal, but came up with nothing.

"That's what I thought.", Nightshade said with a smug look on her face.

Having felt insulted, Nightmare Moon prepared to fire her magic at Nightshade. However, just before she fired, I fired my own spell in between the two of the to get Nightmare's attention.

"Think very carefully about your next move, your majesty.", I said as I charged up my magic again while holding a burning s'more  , "Your s'mores are burning."

"Is this suppose to intimidate me?", Nightmare asked, trying to sound intimating herself.

"No, but this is.", Nightshade said as she transformed into a black dragon and roaring at Nightmare.

Panicking, Nightmare fired a powerful blast of magic at Nightshade. She quickly dodged it by unfurling the wings on her back and flying into the air.

"You missed, bitch!", Nightshade taunted from above.

"You're just full of surprises, aren't you?", Nightmare asked, getting to fly up towards her.

"She's not the only one.", I said before using my magic to make plundervines grow out of the ground and attack Nightmare.

Nightmare then flew into the air, dodging the vines as they tried to grab her. Suddenly, Nightshade rammed into her, causing her to hit one of the vines, which wrapped around her quickly.

"Do you really think that this can hold me?", Nightmare asked as she struggled against the vine, "I am a goddess, you lowly peasants, and I will not be treated... " 

Whatever Nightmare was saying was cut off by the vines slamming her into the ground over and over again, until they let go and retracted back into the ground, leaving her in a craterwith bruises all over her body.

"Puny goddess." I said as Nightshade landed next to me and returned to normal.

It was then at that moment that Nightmare's rage went through the roof and she exploded in a burst of magic, blowing us back a bit.

"THAT'S IT!!", Nightmare yelled as her eyes turned pure white, "I AM THROUGH PLAYING AROUND WITH YOU TWO!!" 

"You know, I was just going to say the same thing.", I said.

I then used my magic to make the fire come alive and take the form of a large dragon before commanding in to attack Nightmare.

"Hey, Breezy, didn't you have some kind of plan for how to deal with Nightmare Moon?", Nightshade asked as the fire dragon continued to fight Nightmare.

"Yeah, but unfortunately, I need to get the spell I'm going to use to work perfectly so it doesn't harm Luna.", I said, " So, you'll have to distract Nightmare while I concentrate... "

"That shouldn't be too hard... "

"...for five minutes.", I continued, "And considering her recent display of power-Ah, I'm sure you can handle it."

"Are... you seriously doing what I think you're doing?", Nightshade asked with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Wouldn't you do the same if our roles were reversed?", I asked with a smirk on my face.

"Touché.", Nightshade said before sprouting bat wings on her back and flying toward Nightmare.

"And I just keep getting reminded of my failures!", Nightmare yelled as she finally destroyed the fire dragon.

"Your failure to defeat us or your failure to defeat your sister?", Nightshade asked tauntingly.

Nightmare merely growled and charged at Nightshade as they began to fight. Meanwhile, I was focusing my magic while singing a tune in my head at the same time.

"Mahna mahna doo dooooo, doodoodoo.... mahna mahna doo doodoo doo.... mahna mahna doo dooooo doodoodoo doodoodoo doodoodoo doodoodoodoodoo I'm a-chargin' my attack."

Once I had finished charge the spell, Nightshade suddenly crashed next to me, her body covered in cuts and bruises.

"I hope you're ready to go, sis.", Nightshade said, wincing in pain, "I don't think I can stall her anymore."

"Don't worry, sis. I'm all set." I said, "It's time to put an end to this."

I then charge at Nightmare, who put some sort of magical shield to defend herself. Once I was close enough, I fired the spell directly at her. The spell collided with her shield and exploded in a massive burst of magic. As the magic  covered the both of us, I felt like something was being ripped from my body. It was as if I was losing all my power. Once the feeling went away, I tried to stand up and see if the spell had worked or not, but a large cloud of smoke had engulfed the area. Fortunately, I was able to find Nightshade amongst all the confusion.

"Did... did it work?", I asked Nightshade, but before she could answer, another voice spoke up as the smoke began to clear up.

"Oh, it worked, all right."

I turned in the direction of the voice and what I saw was enough to make me freeze in fear. 

"How... how are you here?", I asked nervously, "This doesn't make any sense." 

Standing before us with a Cheshire grin on his face was a being know throughout Equestria by many titles...

The Lord of Chaos...

The Spirit of Disharmony... 

The Mad King...

Discord had returned.

"My dear, what fun is there in making sense?"
> Chapter Seven: Rise of the Lunar Empire
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time since being reborn, I was truly terrified. I was face to face with the most powerful being in all of Equestria, whose body I controlled for some time, and I had no chaos magic to use. I had no idea what he might do to Nightshade and I, so I did the only thing I could do.

"I am so, so sorry!", I pleaded, "I didn't mean to take over your body! Please don't turn me or my sister into your puppets for all eternity!"

Discord merely stared at me for a few moments before he burst out laughing so hard that body fell apart into pieces.

"Wait, what's going on here? Why is he laughing?", Nightshade asked.

"I honestly have no idea.", I said as Discord started to calm down.

"You, my dear, are absolutely hilarious!", said Discord as he started to put himself back together.

"What do you mean be that?", I asked.

"Do you really think that I'm angry at you?", Discord asked as he finished reassembling himself.

"So... , you're not angry at me?", I asked.

"Of course not, my dear.", Discord said as he slithered next to me, "I don't hold you accountable for being forced into my body. You were just as much a victim of the situation as I was."

"Well, that's a load of my chest." I said as I let loose a sigh of relief.

"Yes and for your troubles, I want to give you a little something." Discord said.

He then proceeded to open his chest like a hatch and rumble around inside of it for a few seconds before pulling out some of his own chaos magic. 

"You're giving me some of your chaos magic?", I asked as Discord closed the hatch on his chest.

"Indeed I am.", said Discord as he let go of the magic.

The magic then zoomed straight toward and slammed into my chest. I could feel the familiar power as it flowed through my body.

"Thank you." , I said.

"Uh, guys? You should come take a look at this.", Nightshade said.

I turned around and saw what she was talking. There were two ponies that were regaining consciousness in front of us. One of them was Nightmare Moon, but the other one  was Princess Luna.

"Well, shit just got complicated.", I said.

"Wha... where am I? What's going on?", Luna asked as she looked around until she laid her eyes on Nightmare, "You!"

"Oh, hello, Lulu.", Nightmare said as she started to get up, "It's so nice to see you after all these years."

"Silence, demon!", Luna yelled as she got ready to fight, "I will destroy you once and for all."

"You can try.", said Nightmare as she also got ready to fight.

They both stared at one other for a few moments before charging towards each other and engaging in a cartoon-style dust cloud fight. It lasted for a few moments before Discord appeared between them and broke the fight up by grabbed them both by the scruffs of their necks.

"Now, now, there's no need for unnecessary violence.", Discord said, "Well, not right this moment."

"Discord?!", Luna said shockingly, "How are you here? You were sealed away forever!"

"Actually, he's Discord from the future.", I said as I walked over to them, "Also, you two can't kill each other."

"Why not?", Nightmare and Luna asked at the same time.

"Well, it's mostly because of this.", I said as my magic reveal an ethereal chain linking Nightmare and Luna together.

"See that?", I asked as the chain disappeared from view and Discord set them both on the ground, "That chain links the both of you together, so if one of you dies, the other dies as well, and just in case you're wondering, it can't be destroyed."

"Well, this is just perfect.", Luna said sarcastically, "I'm still trapped on the moon and I can't destroy the one pony who ruined my life!"

"Ruined?!", Nightmare said, "I was trying to help you!"

""Wait, what?!", Luna yelled.

"Yeah, I agree with Luna.", I said, "What are you talking about?"

"I was trying to help Luna gain the love and respect of her citizens, but when they wouldn't love her and Celestia wouldn't help help her, I decided to take matters into my own hooves."

"By trying to plunge Equestria into eternal night?!", Luna yelled.

"Which would end up killing everyone and everything on the planet?", I said with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh.", Nightmare said sheepishly, "Maybe I should have thought things through."

"You think?!", Luna yelled.

"Hey, don't take that tone with me.", Nightmare said, "I was trying to do something nice for you, but do I any thanks? No, I don't. The only thing I get is fear and hatred and being treated like an unloved monster!"

Nightmare then burst into tears, her emotion mask breaking into pieces. I just couldn't help but feel bad for her
However, before I could reach her, Discord slithered next to her and began comforting her. Meanwhile, Luna was looking away with an ashamed look on her face. After a few minutes, Nightmare looked like she had finally calmed down.

"So, do you feel better now?", Discord asked.

"Yes, I feel much better now.", Nightmare said.

"Well, I'm glad you are.", said Luna as she walked over to them, "Also, I'm sorry for being angry with you."

"That's okay.", Nightmare said, "You had every right to be angry with me."

"So, can we start over?", Luna asked.

"Sure, why not?", Nightmare said as she and Luna hugged each other. 

"Excuse me, can I say something quickly?", I asked as I made my way over to them, " I hate to break up this touching moment, but I believe I have an offer that can benefit all of us?"

"What kind of offer?", Nightmare asked as she and Luna stopped embracing.

"Well, what would you say to having your own empire on the moon?", I said.

"Are... are you serious?, Luna asked in disbelief.

"I shit you not.", I said with a smug look on my face.

"You'd really create an empire for us on the moon?", Nightmare asked.

"Wait a minute.", said Luna, "What's the catch."

"Oh, nothing major.", I said, " All I ask is that Nightmare agree to never again try to takeover Equestria."

"As long as I can at least defeat Celestia in battle when I am able to leave this place, I accept your deal.", Nightmare said as she held out her hoof.

"So long as you don't kill her.", I said as I shook her hoof.

"Hang on a minute.", said Nightshade, "Who would even live in the empire anyway?"

"I'm glad you asked, sis.", I said, "Not long ago, I learned that there is a hidden community of bat-ponies who still believe in Luna's existence. All we have to do is relocate them here."

"And how exactly will we get them to agree to come here?", Nightshade asked.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.", I said before turning to Discord, "Now then, shall we get started?"

"Certainly.", said Discord.

The two of us focused our magic and after a few moments, the ground began to shake. Suddenly, walls burst out of the ground, shortly follow by buildings, some taller than others. The walls were dark blue with silver outlining them. The buildings themselves were silver in color. At on part of the wall, there was a massive gate with the moon engraved on it. Finally, a massive, silver castle, complete with walls and gardens, rose in one part of the city.

"Welcome to the Lunar Empire.", I said as the gates opened, "Come along, everyone. We have work to do."
