//------------------------------// // A DEAL WITH A DRACONIQUUS // Story: OPTIMUS PRIME VS EQUESTRIA // by OPTIMUSPRIMEG1 //------------------------------// :WARNING!! SYSTEM ERROR! SCANNING NOW!! :SCAN COMPLETE: :SYSTEMS 100%: :ENERGON LEVELS 100%: These displays were all I saw in my vision, as I slowly regained consciousness. :ACTIVATING OPTICAL SENSORS: The landscape opened up around me, a glorious vista of trees and shrubs. A customary glance down at my body brought a shocking site; my body was now entirely metallic. A quick look in a nearby lake confirmed this most confusing state of affairs. I did a few test waves with my hand to see if I was right, and the mirror image did the same "Incredible, Not only do I look like Optimus, I have his voice as well". Seeing the Shieldblaster lying nearby, I wandered over to pick them up. It then became apparent that the Merchant must have sent me here. But why? What did he achieve for doing this? Checking all other systems were working correctly, and noting the Matrix lodged in next to my spark core, I headed off in a random direction. I stepped straight into a scene of madness. Cotton candy bounded around as chocolate milk rained down from on high. And in the centre of it all, was the Lord of Chaos himself, Discord. It will probably occured to the reader by now that I am a brony. It was also apparent I was within the Season 2 opening two-parter. I headed in to stop Discord's reign of madness...when an idea struck me. If I were to get Discord on my side, I could defeat any evil that threatened this land. My resolve firm, I headed off to reason with chaos itself. ------------------------------------------------------------- Discord's POV I sat in my chair enjoying a glass of chocolate milk, reflecting on Celestia's idiocy in trying to defeat me with amateurs! What a pathetic bunch those ponies are. Suddenly, a glint of red and blue caught my eye. My eyes have seen the glory of-no, not that one. I took a look closer, to see a metal bipedal giant closing in. Clearly another of Celestia's minions. This was going to be fun! ------------------------------------------------------------- - James POV Discord was surprised by my prescence, as his jaw dropped-literally. "What are you?" he asked. "My name is Optimus Prime." "Celestia sent you, I take it?" "No." "Oh don't be absurd, of course you were!" "I came to make a deal, a bet if you will." He fell for it alright. "If you win, I'll aid you in overthrowing Celestia." "I win,you surrender when the Elements of Harmony arrive," "Yes ,yes, yes, yes, let's just get on with it," Discord said, impatiently. ------------------------------------------------------------- Discords POV I only hope this fool knows what he's doing. Not that he'll win, of course. ------------------------------------------------------------- Optimus' POV I brought up a display, which showed a spacecraft. This was to be the battlefield. "What strange contraption is this?" "This is the Ark. It is where we shall fight." Discord snapped his fingers, and off we went.
