//------------------------------// // ~Let's Do The Odyssey~ // Story: Hello From The Other Side // by FoxMcCloud7921 //------------------------------// The sudden teleportation again took Luna by surprise as she managed to blink a few times…or at least she thought she did. All around her was pitch black. “Discord, what is this?” “Oh this?” Discord suddenly appeared behind her with a beard and small afro. He was also holding a paint brush in his one hand. “This is but a mere blank canvas my dear. You’ve still yet to put anything on the parchment.” “Ah…so it can be…anything?” Luna asked. “Nothing is impossible to me,” Discord grinned slightly. “But uh…let’s keep this age appropriate shall we? There’s a T rating in this story after all.” “…Right. Actually I have the perfect idea.” She then whispered something into Discord’s ear. “Oh that? That’s easy. However, I do think a musical number with an appropriate montage is in order. I don’t believe there are enough musical pieces in this story to begin with.” “Deal.” Discord cracked his knuckles. “Oh it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these…your dreams are my command!” He snapped his fingers and the two disappeared as the dark void suddenly began to fill with color.   Luna suddenly found herself on a grassy plain with mountains in the background. With happy music playing in the background, she recognized her surroundings instantly as she happily started trotting as she went up to a row of blocks and bashed them to pieces with her hooves. It was then she saw a Goomba walking up to her and she jumped, using her wings to give her a little more height as she came and squashed the Goomba into nonexistence. She kept going through the course, eventually finding a Starman dancing nearby. She grabbed it and her eyes went white as she suddenly sped off close to Rainbow Dash speeds, crashing through everything in her way while making sure to grab some coins. As she finally grabbed the flag pole, the flag with a dark blue ‘L’ in the middle, the pole suddenly turned into a mast of a ship as Luna stared into the wild blue yonder through a telescope. Dark clouds were approaching in the distance as Luna looked down to where Discord was steering the ship, where he looked to her and gave her a shrug with a worried grin. Luna then took off from the ship, soaring higher and higher into the sky as the scene changed to space where a large battle between battleships and small starships. Luna was currently piloting a ship as she performed a barrel roll and fired upon the enemy ships, destroying them one by one. She gave a final salute and wink towards the camera as the ship sped off. The scene changed once again as the two of them were in a distant land surrounded by ruins. Discord was wearing an odd getup of green and brown with a green cap on his head along with a large sword and shield on his back while Luna was wearing a light blue gown, resembling close to a toga. As they walked calmly, suddenly a large machine came out of the ruins, looking like some weird mix of an octopus and crab as its single eye was watching them. Discord was ready to fight but it was then that Luna saw there were four more of them behind them as she gently tapped his shoulder with a worried face. He looked behind and he shared the same emotion as Luna teleported them away before they would get blown up. Two robots were fighting in a large city, controlled by both Luna and Discord via remote control. The blue robot managed to get in an uppercut, which caused the grey robot’s head to pop off and land about fifty meters away. Discord gave the mare a glare as Luna could only grin sheepishly. The setting shifted to space once again as a large ship shot through among the stars. Inside, Luna was wearing a red uniform while surrounded by an array of ponies, thestrals, and griffins while Discord was standing nearby as he twirled his finger, causing the ship outside to spin around in circles. Now it was Luna’s turn to glare at the draconequus while he grinned impishly. The scene changed to a large stage as Luna and Discord were dancing together with a big band playing in the background. The two were in perfect synchronicity as they jumped around the stage. They then separated as they both donned top hats and canes as they began a tap-dancing routine, each giving off their own small solo. Suddenly, a group of thug ponies wielding tommy guns showed up on the stage, looking ready to crash the party. However, neither of them broke stride as Luna got a few of them in the face with her hooves while Discord turned the guns into rattlesnakes, causing the ponies to run off the stage, much to the crowd’s pleasure. The two of them then took a bow as the audience went wild, throwing flowers onto the stage and it wasn’t long before everything in the background disappeared behind them. “Well,” Luna panted slightly. “That was…much more than I could ask for.” “Did you expect any less?” Discord said, who looked just as winded. “Phew…haven’t done a number in awhile…I guess when you’re stuck in stone for over a thousand years you tend to get out of shape.” He then patted his hands. “Now then dear Luna, is there anything else you wish to do?” “Well…I did have another idea…” “Oh do tell.” “Well it’s…a little bit darker than the last one but…” “Say no more. Considering you have similar views to Princess Luna I already know you’re into the science fiction horror genre aren’t you?” “Yes, though my sister doesn’t share the same tastes. She likes all the romance and sappy stuff.” “Not surprised here. So you’re sure about this…?” Luna grinned. “Give me your worst.”
