//------------------------------// // MAKING A FRIEND AND QUESTIONS // Story: OPTIMUS PRIME VS EQUESTRIA // by OPTIMUSPRIMEG1 //------------------------------// James' POV I managed to defeat Discord, but it was not easy. What was even harder was how he refused to accept defeat. "NO!" Discord shouted at me. "I WON'T SURRENDER TO THOSE PESKY ELEMENTS, I'VE COME TOO FAR TO BE TURNED TO STONE AGAIN!" Clearly, Discord was different to how I'd remembered. "Why do you hate the ponies?" I asked. "They see me as nothing more than an abomination!" Tears welled up in his eyes. Only a truely heartless being would show no sympathy, so I gave him a hug. Discord was surprised by the action, but accepted it. "Thanks,"he said, "I needed that." "Nobody deserves to suffer as you did what you went through," I explained. "Then I will honour my end of the deal". With that, he snapped his fingers. ------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight's POV "Alright girls, let's go stop Discord," I said to my friends, having restored Rainbow's memory mere moments earlier. "Yeeha partners, let's go stop that no-good varmint!" Applejack said excitedly, no longer a liar. "I agree darlings,let's stop that brute," Rarity said. "Aw yeah lets kick his butt!" Rainbow Dash overconfidently said while Fluttershy mearly squeaked, and Pinkie Pie is...well, just being Pinkie. Suddenly, we saw a massive beacon shoot up into the sky. Discord. Pushing the pain aside,we galloped to Ponyville, hoping Discord isn't destroying it. ------------------------------------------------------------- James' POV The energy tranfer was agonizing, but I remembered to disable the Matrix to allow it to flow more smoothly. Upon completion, I hit the ground. Discord looked rather worse for wear, but was able to repair himself. "Now we barely have time to train,so I'll give you the basics,"he said, a mortorboard appearing on his head."Chaos magic is,as the name says, chaotic." I nodded and indicated for him to continue. "The least you can do is basically like a gun,you point, aim, and fire, but with that little device in you, you may be able to control it." I nodded again knowing he must be referring to the Matrix. "And ,know this, you will be able to break the laws of physics if you wanted to, but I recommend not doing that until I teach when I break free again, which will be probably another thousand years," "Actually Discord, Celestia plans on releasing you in a while," I said, bringing his hopes up. "She thinks you can be reformed and your powers used for good." Discord laughed at that. "She thinks she can reform me, that's going to be funny when I tell her you reformed me." "Do not mention my prescense,"I said. It's common knowledge that people tend not to react well to the sight of giant bipedal robots. "I'll only say a friend made me see the error of my ways." I then set off into the distance, wondering about when we would encounter each other again. ------------------------------------------------------------- Discord's POV As Optimus wandered away, I reflected on what would happen next, knowing it would be short. Oh well, there are worse fates than being reduced to stone. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd person POV The Elements were stunned at how easily Discord gave in. Something felt off to Twilight, so much so she couldn't really focus on the festivities. "Is everything alright Twilight?" asked Princess Celestia. "I'm just confused that's all." "Oh,and what confuses you?"Celestia asked, worried for Twilight. Twilight told Celestia everything, from how Discord put everything back to normal to how Discord said he had a friend. Celestia had a look of worry on her face."Thank you telling me Twilight. I'm just as confused as you, but don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this." Celestia thought to herself. 'Whoever this friend is,I will destroy them if they harm my little ponies.' Celestia was going to seek some answers.
