As Luna and Discord chanted in the old Equestrian tongue, the pieced together statue of The Storm King floated up with arcane energies surrounding it. Then the chanting grew louder and louder as the wind blew at the candles and the ground started shaking! Until finally, the hard rock that made up The Storm King's petrified form slowly became all furry. And when the ritual was complete, the first thing that came to The Storm King's mind was to finish what he started.
And by that, I meant the sentence he was saying while being metaphorically hoist by his own petard.
"YOU..." but before The Storm King could finish his sentence, his mouth has spontaneously turned into a zip, causing him to communicate in muffled yells and words that honestly wouldn't be out of place in one of my animations. "What's the magic word?" Discord said as he listened to The Storm King's muffled grunts and yells things that I dare not say in an E rated fanfiction.
"Nope, that's not it"
"Wrong again"
"Did you kiss your mother with that mouth before I turned it into a zip?"
"There it is"
SNAP!
The Storm King gasped for breath in relief of having a mouth again, then he looked at the two creatures standing before him, one of which he recognized.
"Hey, I know you!" he said, pointing at Luna "You're one of those Uni-pega-coni-cusses or whatever you call yourselves"
"Alicorn"
"Yes, one of those, and what the Tarturus are you suppose to be?!"
"A draconequus" Discord said "Head of a pony, body made up all sorts of other parts, resident of a place rather conveniently called Chaosville"
"Chaosville, huh? I've been to that place, then left because I didn't know how to navigate it and didn't think it was worth conquering"
"Was it before or after I reformed myself?"
"Well if you reformed yourself, you done a terrible job of it! I mean everything about you is mismatched"
"Well now, there's no need to be like that, Mr I don't know the name of your species"
"And you'll never know, because I don't know either"
"Well you're going to know in a minute"
SNAP!
"Cluck Cluck Pukaaak" (that's chicken for "TURN ME BACK TO NORMAL, YOU FREAK!")
SNAP!
"Wonderful weather we're having"
Discord shuddered, realizing that he has most certainly gone too far this time.
SNAP!
"Ah, that's better" both Discord and The Storm King said in relief "Sooooooo" The Storm King said "What exactly am I doing here, anyways?"
"Quite simple, actually" Discord said before clearing his throat "After a pile of manure for a chancellor named Neighsay lightened up on our little school (and after we'd thrown a little pegasus filly into Tartarus) Celestia came to me and Lulu here specifically to, how she said, give you a second chance"
"You're kidding, right?"
"Well" Luna spoke up "It was more after making me, Discord, Sombra, Starlight Glimmer and the changelings change our ways"
"And that last one was a surprise because I'm the spirit of Chaos and formerly Disharmony and not even I could have thought up of something as the changelings....well...changing their ways"
"In spite of the fact that they're called changelings?"
"That's more to do with the fact that they can do this" Discord said as he does a bit of Spongebob-esque shapeshifting.
"Excuse me but do I look like I live in a pineapple under the sea?!"
Oh yes, I forgot that you have a better understanding of popular culture than Pinkie Pie. What can I say? You're both fellow fourth-wall breakers.
"Uh....who are you talking to?" The Storm King asked, confused and a little bit annoyed by Discord's supposed madness.
"Apparently, he happens to be friends with Pinkie Pie's imaginary friends" Luna said, trying not to sound deadpan because of the absurdity of what she just said.
"Aaaaaanyways" The Storm King says, trying to get the Tarturus out of this forest ASAP "What would happen to me if I refuse your offer for redemption and the only thing I'll be reforming would be my kingdom?"
Luna pondered at The Storm King's question and answered "I admit, Celly and I haven't thought that part through, but if you do play up, Discord here will use his mind magic into brainwashing you into being good"
"GASP! LUNA!" Discord said in faux shock while tickling me with his tail as I beg him to stop while typing this and laughing my head off. I am literally using a stick to type this at the moment "I'm shocked that you would think I'd use magic like that, even it's for a good reason" he said, pretending to sound as offended as possible for the sake of this punchline:
"I'm not Starlight Glimmer!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA! GOOD ONE! HOHOHOHOHAHAHAHA!!!
"Ooh, that reminds me, you are going to stick your hoof up your nose and eat your greens" he said, waving his hand before snapping his fingers
Luna's eyes shrank and her jaw dropped slightly, with her saying in a trance-like monotone (up until the last part, of course)
"I will stick my hoof up my nose and eat my...DON'T DO THAT!"
Discord wraps his arm around me as we both laugh until my eyes start watering, then he slugs me.
After getting my butt handed to me by the greatest draconequus that ever lived, Stormy decided to speak (that's right, I'm calling him Stormy because it would take forever if I kept typing "The Storm King" every time he makes an appearence).
"Okay, you win, I'll take your little 'Redemption Class', but only because I don't want to be hypnotized into eating my own boogers!"
I had no idea he was so subconsciously willing to dig for green liquid gold, and if I was, I would have had him repeatedly punch himself in his Cock...atrice Balls (or Obsidian Orbs if you want to be fancy). And so we headed off so Stormy can learn a thing or two about mhtrrrrrrrrrrrrrefsrdegv rgr..........
Word of advice, Discord: Never mess with a carpenter or a guy that looks like a carpenter (the latter in my case).
Hmm....Stormy....I like the sound of that (even though I used it in the first chapter). Let me get you a First Aid Kit and a bag of ice to make up for slamming your head onto my keyboard. And besides, what's he got against people who eat their own boogers?! I know it's disgusting but I got Pica so shut up!
