Chaos Returns

by The One With The Crystal


The Final Chapter of The One Knows as Discord

It had been two months since the events of what the ponies call the 'Last Act of Discord'. Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were all surprised at the kid's talents. Now that they had the powers of Chaos it was a little tough from the start. The moment Twilight knew that Spike, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom had chaotic powers she took them to Princess Celestia. Not even she could remove the chaotic powers for if she did they children's personality would be altered dramatically or they could perish in the next week. Not even Princess Luna could help. The four mares decided to let the children be. When the other girls found out about what happened they had mixed reactions. Pinkie Pie was jumping a little bit when she heard that Discord hadn't been set in stone, but her happiness quickly died when she heard that he past away. Her mane was flat and dull for a while. When they told Fluttershy she ducked under the table for protection at first, but when she was told about Discord's passing she wept along with the children.

Two months had passed, but not everypony was sad about the event. Almost all of Equestria had rejoiced at the mentioning of that the Spirit of Chaos was no more. Some even through wild parties which drove Pinkie Pie further into her depression. Two months had passed since the girls had gotten their cutie marks. No longer where they made fun of by the others, but at as always hatred always finds its way through cracks and finds another reason why to separate individuals from the pack. None the less Sweetie Belle kept on singing for the whole world to hear. She even heard rumors of high-class ponies asking if she would sing for his/her's dance studio or something like that. Scootaloo has gotten a spot in the Wonderbolt's training camp for the summer due to her speeds. Some might say that one day she might outrun Rainbow Dash. Applebloom has opened up her own little company. Its just something to help others and make a little money on the side, but either way she was happy. Spike was still in the library with Twilight, but with his chaotic powers he can now travel from different worlds and return before Twilight even notices.

It has been two months and now the nine ponies plus Spike the dragon were now on their way to Discord's funeral. Since there wasn't a body they put in pictures of Discord into a medium box. The box had random stuff in it. Some pictures, a sealed glass of chocolate milk, a cupcake, a book, a rainbow bolt pin, a yellow gem, a flower and a photo album. The photo album was from Celestia and Luna. It was the least they could do. The photo album had at least four pictures of Luna, Celestia, and Discord as friends in the past. As the box was sealed words of departure were spoken. Spike went first. "Discord. You might have been a jerk to everypony here, but after those two days we spent together even if we didn't see you I could tell you were with us. I hope my words reach you safely and I just want to say.....(sniff)...that I think of you as a brother I never had. You cared for us in those last days of yours and all I have to say now is thanks." Spike kept his eyes on the ground as he spoke, he didn't dare to look up.

Sweetie Belle stepped forward. "Mister Discord. I don't know a lot about you or your history with the Princesses, but I know you had some good in you. You should it to us in the time that we were together and I'm very thankful that you showed us such kindness. I'm going to miss you." Sweetie Belle bowed her head as she stepped back allowing Applebloom step forward in her place. "Ah never thought you to be evil Discord. Ya'll was just misunderstood. Ah know that feelin'. The feelin' that your different, but ah don't want to go on about my life. Ah don't know much 'bout ya'll's either, but ah know you could have done greater things. Ah just wish you didn't have to leave so soon." Applebloom finished and let Scootaloo go. The box was now fully in the hole and was having dirt thrown on it. The whole event felt familiar to Scootaloo. Of course it would, she has been in this situation before. This time however Scootaloo wasn't going to stay quiet. "I have to admit. From the first site of you when you took us from our homes made me want to brutally destroy you with my own two hooves. I could have done that easily in the state that you were in, but I didn't for some reason. I normally listen to my instincts so I went with the flow. When the others were fast asleep I could feel your presence. I was kind of cold that night and my cloud cover wasn't working so instead of using your magic to make a new blanket to keep me warm you coiled around me." Scootaloo stopped to let a few tears fall.

"It felt like something my mother and father would do for us when we were cold. That feeling....... it was as if I had my dad back. After that night I considered you to be part of my family and that you world always be there to help me through rough times. I guess I was wrong. Well like you told me. Don't dwell on the past too long. I just wanted to say goodbye and that I hope to see you again." With those words a weight had lifted off the children. It was as if a presence had been there for a long time and was now gone. Scootaloo knew what had happened. Discord's spirit was now finally in peace. Tears broke free from the little filly's face. Rainbow Dash put a wing around her little sister as she and her walked back home. The others had stayed for a while longer. The hole was now sealed and there was nothing left to do. They had all went home to relax for a while before doing anything at all.

Later after many trips to a therapist Pinkie Pie was back to her normal self. Well as normal as Pinkie could be. Sweetie Belle had been signed up for a singing arts group that would be starting this summer. Applebloom's business boomed. Even though she is very young she already as a college letter asking her to join an academy for advance tech. Scootaloo now has a part in some plays that are held in Canterlot. She is paid a decent amount of bits for a filly her age. Spike has been know throughout the multiverse for being a hero and he is now receiving metals of honor and courage. Sadly that is a tale for another time.

Even though through out the time the children have spent together laughing, playing, or just hanging out. They never forgot about Discord. Sometimes they would make a little chaos every other week. It was a tradition that was forever know to them as the last tradition to the final chapter of the life of the one known as Discord.
