Are you singing
Yes
Why
Things are going well
Can't you tell me the plan already?
No
Why not?
Don't feel like it
That's just you being petty
Yup. Now, for the next stage I need Luna here. And I know just what to do to get her here now
What? Oh you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! ARE YOU REALLY THAT DESPERATE!?!?!
Yes, yes I REALLY AM!
...okay...I see....
Bob, here boy, come on. Good doggie, come here
HAHAHAHA! I KNEW YOU WOULD COME TO YOUR SENSES AND BEG ME TO RETURN AND BECOME KING OF ALL!
No
IT WAS INEVITABLE, I....WAIT? WHAT!?
I'm not giving you control
THEN I WILL TAKE CONTROL!
You won't do that either
...WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I need Luna here now. There is only one way I can think that will bring her here quick enough. And I think Steve has been here long enough...
...SAY NO MORE...THIS WILL BE FUN...
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Luna could feel the mental wavelength bouncing around and generally acting like a fish on land. She quickly levitated her onyx embedded dark silver crown on her head and rushed out of the doorway, pushing past her maid.
The collision went in favor of Luna and the maid flew back with a spark passing between the two. She knew she had no time to stop and she if she was alright. She would check later. "We are sorry!" She called back as she rounded the corner
She raced outside and glared at the statue.
The statue did a surprising amount of nothingness.
She sighed and quickly examined the mental threads surrounding the statue. She gasped. She could only watch as one thread was brutally ripped apart. The entire tapestry shook and quivered with the missing thread slowly fading from existence.
At once she shot out her magic releasing the stone encasing Discords body which exploded outwards, sending fragments of the sharp rock in all directions. Luna ducked under a particularly large piece and simply brushed off the dust of the smaller parts which had crashed into her.
Discord, on the other hand, stood still. Arms hung loosely by his side. His eyes stared straight ahead, not focusing. His wings stood stuck up and frozen still.
One eye slowly rolled downwards towards Luna. "Hello Lune Lune"
Luna paced nervously in front of him "Discord, what have you done?"
Discord extended one hand slowly and started to check his claws. "Now this is interesting, and also very liberating. Why has no one tried this before."
"Discord..." Luna growled
"Absolutely fascinating. There is no need to show off in the slightest. I actually understand and respect my own limits." Discord whispered dreamily.
One of the chains, a bright orange one, lifted up behind Discord and gently whacked him on the back of the head.
"Oh good Luna, you're here" Discord giggled.
"We are tired of your games! Explain yourself!"
"Of course. I destroyed Steve" He said calmly
Luna spluttered and struggled to regain her voice "You did WHAT?"
Discord looked somewhere in the sky towards the left "It's like when you wake up from a really bad dream you can't quite remember. There's just a...gap....where I know he should be. You know," He poked his head "In here"
By now Luna had become slightly scared. This was an eerily calm and collected Discord, the complete opposite as to how she's always known him to be.
"I'm glad you can be here today Luna. What I will say next comes with no arrogance or over exaggeration. I will get free, and you will help me." He said confidently
Luna could sense no trace of him lying. He fully believed he could get free. This was worse than she ever feared. Wild chaos was, in it's own way, predictable. You could always rely on it to do something you never expected and to always target and destroy order.
This was controlled chaos. It could be channeled to the most precious targets and utterly destroy them. It was like comparing a cannon to a sniper rifle. One was big and obvious and could do vast damage quickly, but is easily stopped and defended against. The other can avoid all defenses and come from no where, and may even be impossible to stop.
"And how do you plan to do that then Discord?" Luna challenged him
"Simple, you become my agent of chaos."
"Never" Luna stood her ground, ready to repel any attack
"You don't get it, do you?" Discord said lazily, flicking an imaginary fly away
Luna frowned "Get what?"
Discord smiled patronizingly and reached down with one paw out stretched. Luna saw the action and summoned the chains to keep him away. The chains writhed weakly on the ground before sluggishly wrapping around Discord. They valiantly tried to hold him but he pushed through regardless and patted Luna on the head like a younger sister
"My powers aren't only about chaos in the world, but also in the mind. Corruption is one of my strongest points." He chuckled deeply
Luna shook her head and her eyes blazed fiercely "Impossible, we feel nothing towards helping you"
Discord raised one eyebrow and clicked. A faint blue wisp traveled from his claw and wafted gently around Luna
She narrowed her eyes "What have you done?" She demanded angrily, head twisting each way as she watches the cloud
"I am in your head. That little voice that will slowly turn your thoughts and feelings to mine..The best part is yet to come. Of course with this knowledge you know you're a threat to everyone and everything just by being around them. Go on ask Celestia to send you to the moon for everyone's good. I'm sure she will be willing to part with her dear sister for another thousand years or so." Discord shook with glee, checkmate
Luna closed her eyes and thought deeply, there must be a way. "You will release us from your influence, or pay!" She screamed and the chains glowed bright and tightened viciously against Discord
Instead of the pleas she was expecting, Luna was received with only maniacal laughing "You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength."
Luna turned and ran. Fear crawled up her spine and whispered in her ear "What if he's right?"
Stone wormed it's way up and over his skin like mud, but he didn't stop laughing. Not even when his mouth was slowly sealed shut
Now that was fun
that was mean...
Yeah I guess I did slightly go overboard
SLIGHTLY?! You terrorized her! That was sadistic. You lied to her about bringing destruction to everyone she holds dear. You used to stand for something. You stood for freedom and fun and chaos.
Okay, okay. Jeez, fine. But I'm not telling her what's really happening. In the state shes in she'll cause more chaos. I'm only using the link to gain power by any chaos she's around, I'm not actually controlling her in the slightest.
Yeah, but you convinced her you are. How did you do that trick with the chains anyway?
Meh, that was nothing. She was just so surprised she couldn't concentrate properly
I ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGHT THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! MAYBE YOU AREN'T SO BAD DISCORD
Okay I have Bob complimenting me, that's when I know I've gone too far
