//------------------------------// // Chaos and Rebellion // Story: Forgotten Soldier; Wrong War // by rocketlvr //------------------------------// Meanwhile far beyond the borders of Equestria in a silent building of non pony origin came a fit of laughter. A draconequus was stuck rolling on the floor guffawing. "AH HA hahaha I can't believe how easy that was HAHA! thank you my dear uhh what's your name again? oh never mind AHAHAHAHAHA!" A creature resembling an alicorn stood up from her chair she was like a twisted version of Celestia or any wholesome Alicorn for she was like a bridge between pony and insect but far more sinister. "I am Chrysalis queen of the Changelings, I know who you are, Discord and I released you for good reason" "AHAHHAHAH man that was WAY too EASY!" "DISCORD!" the queen shouted at the draconequus " YOU FOCUS NOW OR I WILL HAVE YOU RETURNED TO STONE!" The spirit of chaos sat up with a slightly annoyed expression "come now, you seriously need to lighten up and laugh once in a while, there's so many great moments in everyday life that people so often miss" The changeling queen spoke much more softly but with an angry waver in her voice "Discord, I need you to focus, now unless we want to be stopped again I suggest we put a little more planning and effort into. Now, I propose a little shall we say less... subtlety in our next approach, which is the sole purpose for why a freed you." "So you didn't free me just because you missed me?" He said with his best faux puppy eyes Chrysalis was furious at this point and no longer tried to control her temper "You filthy, stupid BEAST! why don't you just listen? I have a fantastic idea to get both of us what we desire but you seem to not care at all. I'll have you turned back to stone!" she emphasized this last bit by causing her horn to glow slightly green. Discord's smug grin vanished, but only for a moment. He put his hands up defensively "alright, alright, I suppose I have been acting a smidge inappropriate for this situation; there'll be so much BETTER chaos to wreak later! Now dear, tell me this plan you had I'm all ears" as he said that last bit he teleported off the floor and into a nearby chair where he propped up his feet up onto the table it faced. The queen was still huffing but with a few deep solid breaths she got herself back under control. "good, now as I was saying, I propose that you slip by into Equestria and create a new kind of chaos." Discord was mildly intrigued by this proposal. "go on, I'm listening" "Finally, I have your attention. Now I understand you are quiet aware of physical chaos like your ineffective chocolate rain and floating houses." "Now Chrystal, That was some grade A chaos" "Let me finish" "fine" "Perhaps you could do a little more internal chaos" Discord looked at her mildly puzzled even though this was his area of expertise "what do you mean?" "Perhaps if you stirred up a little chaos between ponies you could create an all out rebellion of those ridiculous ponies. This would help divide Celestia's resources between reconstructing Canterlot from my destruction and controlling disloyal subjects. While this occurs we begin our secondary invasion which of course would be far superior. After you separate the townsfolk I believe you should gather more allies to assist in our cause. While their leaders may not attack Equestria, many subjects of the Gryphon and minotaur kingdoms as well as a few stray dragons would be more than happy to see the ponies crushed. My forces could always use more canon fodder" "Crystal I always knew you had a thing for chaos! glad to see you're finally embracing it! Should I go start this beautiful, beautiful chaos now?" "the sooner the better Discord, my thirst for vengeance only grows" "alright see ya Crystal! tata for now!" after that he exploded into a shower of confetti disappearing to Celestia knows where. The black queen smiled. This was going just as she expected.
