Twilight Discovers Laser Weapons
Chapter 5 - The Planning Begins
Written by iAmSiNnEr
It is now six months after the defeat of Nightmare Moon.
Equestria is prospering.
Or so we think.
I mean, Twilight essentially defeated every villain there was to defeat within two weeks.
Except a certain unicorn that had control over a certain town in a certain location.
Was she really a villain though?
Now seeing the dictatorship spreading through Equestria, Starlight Glimmer, ironically, started a plan to stop Twilight Sparkle. And to do so, she would need help. Help to do what, you ask? Why, steal the lasers, of course!
Firstly, she snuck into the Canterlot Royal Archives, to investigate the origins of the weapons.
Nada.
Next, she looked up the Yellow Pages for any pony or creature that could help her.
Chrysalis? Dead end. Poor queen was too scared of ending up like her throne.
Tirek? Not willing to leave Tartarus after Twilight threatened him and gave a demonstration of her new weapons. Not before he did try to suck the magic out of them, though. But as we know, there was no magic at all to be found in a technological weapon.
Sombra? For some reason, Sombra didn’t return even after Twilight force summoned the Crystal Empire back into existence and made them swear allegiance to Equestria. Maybe he was too scared?
Nah. Twilight just resurrected him first, threatened the spell to get the Crystal Empire back out of him, then lasered him.
Any other possible allies?
Apparently none.
Except the voice that was constantly whispering in her ear to go to the statue garden and look for a certain statue. Like, seriously. Who would ever listen to a strange voice in their ears unless they were desperate?
…wait. Nevermind. Let’s forget those words were ever uttered. Starlight Glimmer was desperate.
So here we are, in the statue garden.
And in front of the statue of the draconequus we love and hate so much.
“Okay, I’m here,” Starlight said. “Conveniently.”
Yes, conveniently. Now, let’s proceed with the story, shall we?
“Free me!” the voice whispered. “Cause some chaos!”
“Hmm.” Starlight mused. “Will this work?” She caused some chaos.
And the stone cracked and broke open, revealing a creature that had a mismatch of different animals. He looked like an abomination, if I did say so myself.
“You look like an abomination,” Starlight announced. “Are you the voice that has been whispering in my ears?”
“Well, yes, I am, dear Glimmy,” Discord rubbed his hands together. “You and I are going to enact a plan to overthrow our dear Empress, Twilight Sparkle. And to do that, you and I will need to sign a contract.”
“What contract?” Starlight tilted her head.
“That neither of us will try to betray the other,” Discord did a loop-de-loop. “Sounds fair?”
“It does, indeed,” Starlight nodded. “Um. How do we do this?”
“Off screen, of course! Otherwise, it’d be just boring!” Discord pouted. “Right now, we need to think of a name to call us! Hmm. How about the Chaos Circle?”
“No. Too cliche.”
“I got it!” Discord snapped his claws. “The DiscLight!”
“We’re not a couple, Discord.”
“Then what would you even want to call us?” Discord sighed. “Like, come on, Glimmy, you’ve got to give us something.”
“How about— DUCK!”
“Duck?” Discord tilted his head. “That sounds like an excellent name! How ever did you think of—”
And a laser sliced through his head, eviscerating it.
“Well, that wasn’t very nice,” Discord’s disembodied voice said. “We were just discussing group names!”
“DISCORD!” Twilight shouted from a castle window overlooking the statue garden. “Submit, or face the consequences!”
“I think not! I will see you in the next chapter, Twilight Sparkle!”
He snapped his fingers, and both he and Starlight disappeared.
Some awkward silence for a few seconds, then Discord reappeared, still headless.
“Sorry,” his disembodied voice said. “I need to grab what remains of my head real quick so I can regenerate…ah, here!” He grabbed the horn left on the ground. “We shall see you in the next—EEP!”
He hastily teleported away as Twilight started firing more lasers.
“COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY—!”
