//------------------------------// // Oh Yeah // Story: Time, Karma, Order, and Discord // by Chemtest //------------------------------// Silver looks back at Discord, and shrugs, “Look, I want to trust you and all, but I have no idea what is going on. Perhaps someone could fill me in?” Starburst smiles, “Allow me. To sum it up simply, we believe Ordirus was corrupted by the dark magic of Vogrim, a Necromancer. Ordirus set off to kill Vogrim after the death of King Sombra, and he returned without any blood on his blade. Then, some people who followed Discord started disappearing. It came to a climax when we found the massacre of Chaos Mages with Order magic all over the place. With such undeniable proof, Discord decided to leave his brother, only to have war be declared upon him. Now, we hope to defeat Ordirus, and purge his mind of the darkness laid upon it by Vogrim.” Silver nods, “What happened to Vogrim?” Starburst sighs, “My master, Starswirl the Bearded left to fight him. He won, and banished Vogrim to a place beyond space and time. He was the last thing keeping Ordirus together, apparently, as the massacre happened right after. His other apprentice, my sister, has taken Ordirus’s side. However, I still have hope she can see reason and help purge the dark magic.” Silver smiles, “Well, I would love to help, but I have something to do first. My two friends are somewhere out there, and I need to find them.” Luna shakes her head, “I wouldn’t bother, Silver.” She takes out a scroll, “Our changeling spies saw them enter into Ordiria. They will obviously be convinced to join Ordirus.” Silver shakes his head, “They’ll listen to me.” Discord interjects, “Ordirus will not simply allow you into Ordiria. They would attempt to kill you. I’m sorry, but your best bet would be to work with us until we can reach them.” Silver sighs, “I... I am going to need to see something to convince me.” Discord looks to Starburst, “Starburst, take Silver here to Canterhorn Camp, we’ve heard word of the enemy approaching it.” Starburst smiles and nods, “Gladly. Silver, you want to come?” Silver nods, “Sure. Though I don’t know if it will convince me.” ——— Ordirus smiles softly at the two, “The Time Lord, and the Man. Please, intorduce yourselves.” The Doctor smiles, “Well, I am the Doctor, and he is Mark.” Ordirus nods, “Well, Doctor and Mark, I am afraid that I need your help. My brother, Discord, leads a rebellion against my nation. It is obvious that his mind was corrupted by the Necromancer, Vogrim. The slaughter of my Order Mages and his succession were only the beginning, but him declaring war on us sealed the deal. He said he would defeat Vogrim, yet came back with the Necromancer still kicking. It took the sacrifice of our best wizard before he declared war on us. I was told by a creature called Khorn that you two would help me.” The Doctor nods, “Well, if that is true, then I suppose we should help you. But, we have our own important manner to attend to. Our friend, Silver, was lost before we crashed, and we need to find him. So, after we find him, we can help you guys out.” A female voice speaks as a mare enters the room, “I’m sorry, but your friend will be joining the enemy. He landed in the middle of Discoria, and he will be persuaded to help Discord. That is what Khorn said, and it seems like he has been right so far.” The mare stands there, a brilliantly shining orange coat mostly covered by a cloak representing a forming star. All sorts of different colors around her cloak all gather together to an almost shining yellow orb in the center. Her hat has a single golden bell at the end of it, and her bright yellow eyes almost shine. Her face is adorned with a smile, and obvious signs of stress and of days staying up too long. She nods, “My name is Clover the Clever, I am the Court Magician. You are?” The Doctor smiles back, “This is Mark, and I am the Doctor.” She raises an eyebrow, “Doctor? Doctor of what, exactly?” He smiles, “Doctor of the world, of time and space. Though you can just call me Doctor.” She nods, “Very well then, Doctor.” Ordirus nods, “Well, Doctor, it pains me to ask, but I have need of your medical expertise. Baltimare Camp has a number of injured ponies, and I beg of you to heal them.” The Doctor sighs, “Sure, but I want help getting Silver back!” He smiles, “We will, as soon as Discord is purged of the dark magic. Clover, please, escort the Doctor to Baltimare.” ——— Silver and Starburst arrive at the base of Canterhorn Mountain, expecting to see a lively camp of soldiers within. Silver blinks, and his eyes see what is in front of them. A blood bath. Bodies are strung up on poles, skulls stacked up to make a chair in the middle, and in the middle lies a giant hole filled with the blood of the ponies. Starburst shakes his head, “No... the barbarians! There were foals here, civilians! How could they just slaughter them all!?” Silver looks at the scene, “I understand now.” He picks up his helmet, and fits it over his head. He grows by at least three feet, a blue and orange glow coming from the Rings on his fingers. His spiky, silver armor matches his mace and katana perfectly. Starburst looks at him, “Is this your true form?” Silver growls, “This is the form that will rip that dark magic out of Ordirus, forcibly! I need to stop him, if this is what he does!” He looks down at Starburst, “Let’s go. We are going to win this war.” Starburst laughs, “Us? Alone? We’ll get slaughtered!” Silver holds up his hand, and a blue glow comes from the ring, “We aren’t alone.” A giant troll runs up to them, his polished blue armor reflecting the sun, “Is it time for me to fight, Silver Lord?” Silver nods, “It is, Ar-Karus. It is time to bring the pain once more.” Starburst shakes his head, “So, two giants with maces, and a wizard. This would make a good stand up show, you know? Just a trio of freaky things taking on the world. Yeah, sure, let’s do this. Why not?” Silver smiles, “There you go. Now, where is the nearest enemy camp?” Starburst nods, “Ponyville, but please don’t kill anyone. We will not sink to their level.” Silver nods, “Come on, let’s go.” ——— The Doctor, Mark, and Clover all pop into Baltimare, only to see the same exact thing. The Doctor turns to Clover, “Yeah, I am not going to let this stand. Clover, we’ll join you.”
