//------------------------------// // Snap // Story: The Marvelous Six // by Chemtest //------------------------------// Six ponies stand in front of Discord. Six blotches of Harmony upon his beautiful canvas of Chaos. Their colors, normal. Their personality, normal. Everything about them is normal, and thus abnormal. Discord loves abnormality, but not when that abnormality is because of normality. So, he is thrown into a infinite loop of neutrality, seeing the six as only enemies. He looks down upon the ponies with amused disdain, “Ugh, you six again? Did you not learn from your last attempt? I won, you lost! Game over, man, game over!” Pinkie takes a firm stance, “Game not over, girl, game not over!” Discord shoots back, “Game questionable, attack helicopter, game questionable!” Pinkie takes in another breath, but Twilight interrupts her, “Discord, we are here to stop you!” Discord glares at her, “Ugh, then there is you. Where is your sense of fun or humor? At least Pinkie Pie tries to funny.” She stomps a hoof on the ground, “Enough games, Discord!” Discord gasps, and falls over in his chair, “Enough games?! Oh, Twilight Sparkle, have you no shame? Need I introduce myself again? Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony? And you say enough games?” He shakes his head, “Tut, tut, Sparkle, bad pony. Don’t make me get a newspaper.” Twilight shakes her head, “Stop distracting! Girls, come on!” The six of them start to float in the air, with their Elements glowing. Discord’s eyes widen on sight of this. As the Elements connect themselves Discord switches his opinion and smiles. He laughs as they all connect, “Oh no, the Elements of Harmony. Whatever is a Spirit of Chaos like myself to do? Oh wait, I know!” The rainbow beam gets closer to him, and he snaps. Within a blink, he is standing next to his throne. He leans against it, and smiles as the Elements turn it to stone. Twilight gasps, “What- but- that isn’t possible!” Discord throws his throne away, and creates an even bigger one that is white and red all over. He lounges in it again, “Oh yes, something isn’t possible. Real great thing to say in front of me, you know, the Spirit of doing stuff seen as impossible?” He holds up a nail file, and starts rubbing his talons, “Honestly, I don’t know why others haven’t thought of it. Not like you put any urgency behind it anyway.” Twilight looks at her friends, “Then we’ll do it once more!” Discord snaps, and holds her crown in his paw. He smiles, “Sorry, Sparkle, but no.” He crushes the crown in his paw, and holds up the purple gem in the air, “I tried so hard to make you happy with my Chaos. I give you food, I give you fun, I tell jokes, and the entire world is one giant party. Yet you ponies just cannot give up your indoctrination for Harmony. Eh, I suppose that’s my own fault, should’ve led your ancestors better. Should’ve been King, not Ordirus. But, that’s the past.” He throws the gem up in the air, “This is the present.” He catches it back in his paw, “And it soon will be a new chaotic future.” Twilight growls, “We will never submit to you, Discord.” He smiles, “Oh, I know, I know. That’s why I will make you see from my perspective. You need to see a world that failed in trying for Harmony to understand my Chaos. To see the horror of them, and realize why you have it so good under me.” Rainbow flies up, “Yeah, go ahead and try it! We’ll never fall like you!” Discord laughs, “Oh, idea! What if you, weren’t you?” He smiles, “Oh, yes, I can make a time paradox and make you understand!” Twilight shakes her head, “A time paradox? You wouldn’t. You can’t!” Discord smirks, “Oh, poor Twilight, thinking I would decide not to do something. Let’s just say that those who should protect time are not available to do so. They can’t stop me, so who will?” Twilight takes a step back, “Discord, please, time is not to be messed around with! That’s too much, you’d destroy everything!” He looks at his talons, “Will I? I really don’t know. Now that’s a first, I don’t know something.” Twilight rushes at him, “Discord, please, stop! You might die!” He smiles, “If anything goes wrong, the Time Stone will fix it.” ——— Thanos kneels there, a magical axe shoved through his chest by a very angry Thor. Thor shoves it further in, “You feel that, Thanos? That feeling of your death approaching? Good, now we have something in common. But don’t worry, that feeling will overwhelm you soon enough.” Thanos coughs roughly, and looks at Thor, “You... you should... you should’ve gone for the head!” With that proclamation, Thanos raises the Gauntlet. ——— Discord laughs as he says that last sentence, and brings his talons together, with Twilight hopelessly charging him. ——— *Snap!* The two snaps carry power all across the galaxy. One snap wipes out half of all living beings on a planet, and another falls for a time change and for a body swap. The power of the two clash with one another, until they start to mingle and mix. The Time Stone senses the presence of a time altering power, and decides to latch upon that. The Mind and Soul Stones see parts of the spell that change their respective categories. The Reality Stone sees the fact that this would alter reality, and stabilizes it. The Power Stone decides to lend it’s own stability to the spell, as to give it a better effect. And the Space Stone decides to expand the effects of the spell. The spell from Discord also latches onto the minds of those who had been near Thanos and had given him trouble. ——— The sun rises in Equestria, the ponies rise to greet the day. They all smile and prepare, knowing of the Summer Sun Celebration that would occur in Ponyville tomorrow. All, except for six. Twilight Sparkle is shocked awake within her room, and she starts to feel all around herself, “I’m fine? But, Thanos... we lost! How am I here?” She then looks at her body, “A pony? Oh boy, Wong would love to see me now.” He looks to his left, and sees a cloak and pendent waiting there, waiting for him. She smiles, “Well, at least I still have you two.” Far away, in Ponyville, a pink pony starts to gasp for air. After a few seconds of gasping, she gingerly touches her throat, “I- I can breathe? I can breathe!” She looks around, “Wait... this isn’t the Statesman.” She then looks down at her body, “And I’m a pony. A pink pony.” She sighs, and seems to create a helmet on her head out of nowhere. Golden, green, and with two horns rising up. She smiles, “Much better.” Down the road, a white pony wakes from her sleep as well. She looks around, “Oh no, big guy, not again.” She then looks down at her body, “I don’t care how long I was out, you have got some explaining to do.” She sighs, “Couldn’t fight Thanos, but you can take control long enough for me to forget. Wonderful, real wonderful.” He looks to a bedside table, and smiles as he sees his glasses there. He smiles, and slips them onto his unfamiliar face, “At least I can see now.” On the outskirts of the town, a yellow pony quickly awakes. She looks around her cottage, “Mister Stark? Mister Stark, please, are you there?” She looks down at her hooves, with spider webbing at the end of them, “Mister Stark, I still am not feeling that good.” She then looks back to see wings, shoved against the bed, “Oh, that would make sense.” She then looks out the window, and starts shouting, “Mister Stark, please, I could use some help!” On another outskirt of the town, is a barn. In this barn, is a orange pony that slowly opens her eyes, “What? Bucky, that you?” She then opens her eyes, and sees her vision obscured by a hat. She takes it off, and looks at it, “But... Thanos won, how am I here? Why do I sound Southern?” She then follows his hoof to his body, “A horse? Is this punishment for something, God?” She then sees the sun catch something shiny. She then faces the shiny object, being greeted by a blue shield with a star in the center, “If that’s here... Tony, what have you done?” And far in the sky is a cloud shaped like a house. Within wakes a blue pegasus, “No!” She then looks around, “No?” She then takes a look around some more, “This doesn’t look like any of the Realms.” She then looks at herself, “A colorful horse?” She looks all around, until her eyes land upon an axe in the corner of the room, right next to some armor with a red cape. She smiles, “Brother, I feel this is your doing.” ——— Twilight awakes in an empty void, with a bright entity looking at her. She looks at the incandescent orange light as it takes a form like hers. She asks, “Where am I?” The Soul Stone forms a smile, “Welcome, Twilight Sparkle. This is the Soul Stone. You and your friends shall inhabit this space with me. That is, until you have bodies that are empty.” ——— Twilight gets out of her bed, and her cloak levitates over to her, “Let’s get out of here.”
