//------------------------------// // How it all started: Part 1 // Story: The Rise of King Galaxy // by DaxterGalaxy //------------------------------// How it all started Galaxy has become more then I could of ever imagined. He's taken a personality that I didn't make. That's why I'm taking off the OC tag. He is more then a OC character by far because of the fact that I can't make it up anymore. This chapter will go into the day that Galaxy would remember for all of eternity. The day he flew off into the skies to become a king. To Celestia this day was the day that marked the beginning of the biggest massacre in history. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2000 years ago The sun shined on a beautifully clear day in Equestria. Its warmth gave the land wondrous warmth that the land was more then common for. A flock of geese flew through the air heading for the northern mountains. There V shape staying perfectly symmetrical. That was until a black Alicorn zoomed by the bewildered birds. “Nice try birds, but nopony is faster then me." Galaxy was a young alicorn who just went through a big growth spurt. He loved showing off, it often gave him grumbles from his father's guards, but he didn't care. The new strength he got from his bigger self filled the young stallion with excitement (along with a massive ego). He was a tiny bit smaller then our modern day protagonist. He only had small stubble of hair on his chin. He still had his favorite hat that he has kept his entire life and a pair of dark black shades that he got yesterday at a concert. His favorite cello player John Lenon gave them to him, he was now going to boost his new shades to his best friend, Discord. The young alicorn landed in what was a giant junk yard. Anything that you wanted gone was put here (along with a few bodies), but it mostly consisted of weird devices. Most of which Discord used for his oddball inventions and contraptions. Galaxy entered the mostly hollowed out gave that Discord used as shelter, it consisted of failed contraptions and conniptions that the two worked together on. He saw the spirit at his workbench, busy making some kind of thing. Light sparkled off of it as if it were glitter and diamonds mixed together in a jeweled concoction. “Hey discord, what goes on?" “Nice to see you Galaxy, it's always nice to see a friend stop by my lovely abode." Discord turned to face his only friend. The Draconequus has a head of an amber-grey pony, with a deer antler on the right, and a goat horn accommodating it on the left, one long sharp fang, different-sized ruby-red pupils, a snake tongue, and a long goat's goatee. He has the powerful right arm of a golden lion, the vicious left claw of a yellow eagle, the right leg of a green lizard, and the left leg of a brown goat. His back sprouts a purple bat's right wing, a cyan Pegasus' left wing, and a slithering snake's tail that houses a dark red tint. This miss-matched creature looked at his dark friend and instantly noticed a change. “Nice shades. They give you a swag kind of look." Galaxy leaned up on his hind legs and gave a "check ya" stance and teeth flash. He then noticed what was on the rock workbench and dropped his shades to reveal his red eyes. Both pupil and his iris were a noticeably light red. “Are you making jewelry? The last time I saw you were trying to create a machine to wash bricks." The spirit turned his long head to an odd machine lying in the corner. It was wrecked all over with rectangle shaped dents. While the Draconequus was pondering the memories of was to be his biggest failed but hilarious experiment, Galaxy got a look at the jewels. The piece was a huge necklace made for an alicorn sized neck. It had a beautiful lavender gem in the middle with orange pink and blue jewels to the left. While a red and green gem accompanied it to the right. “What’s with the average old necklace?" "This, my friend, is no average necklace. This necklace holds the Elements of Harmony, the carrier of the most power magic in the world, friendship. Each gemstone represents a different element of harmony. Honesty, kindness, generosity, laughter, loyalty and the most powerful of them all, magic!" " ....... Who are you and what have you done with Discord?" “Still here and still chaotic, these are just a present to a special friend of my." Galaxy instantly became suspicious of Discord. He was the only one who could tolerate the chimera. He thought for a while as Discord went back to his work, putting gold paint on the copper necklace. It finally dinged on him, the "special friend" Discord was talking about. He got up close and said “It’s for Celestia, isn't it?" In a flat tone, more annoyed then teasing. Discord shot up, the hairs on his mane sticky up straight enough to be considered needle. Obviously Galaxy hit the knee because even Discord was predictable to Galaxy. He gave a soft sigh and gave his friend an assuring pat on the back. “It’s cool that you like my sister and all, but she barely even knows you exist." “She see's me all the time." “Because you were with me." “I lived in the castle." “You lived in a small cabin in the gardens." “Still….." “The only reason you didn't live in the castle was because Dad thought you were a dog." “That’s just a lie your dad told me to tease me." “He still thinks you’re a dog," “No he doesn't." Galaxy took off his hat. He pulled a dog treat from the space that was the interior of it. He gave it to Discord and started to walk off. Discord looked at the K-9 treat and popped it in his mouth. He chewed it in a noisy crunching chorus and with a mouth full of food he spoke with crumbs spewing out of his mouth. "I hath ith when you fry anph be funny." Galaxy started to trot to the entrance of the cave, his head constantly turning to look at all the junk they made when they first discovered the cave. Galaxy then started to look at Discord; he was his only friend in this world. They've been together since infancy and have always gotten along, beside the fact that these two are complete polar opposites when it comes to their role in life. Galaxy was raised to be a king and loving ruler of the most powerful country on the planet. Discord had the pure instinct to be insane and plunge the world to chaos. But for some reason these two were completely happy together, there bad traits actually complementing each other. It was perfect for them, at least ill it happened. Galaxy was so busy looking around that he didn't notice the pressure plate he stepped on. A trap door opened on his rear hooves, and with his legs falling into the hole, it wasn't long before the rest of the weight followed. Discord saw his friend disappear and instantly knew what it was. He ran towards a control panel and started to pull levers. Galaxy slowly rose from the hole. His haunch was stuck inside a barrel, and he was madly struggling to get out. His mighty wings flapped madly, creating massive winds that could role a house, but to no avail could he get out. “Discord what is this thing?" "It’s my orbital cannon, it launches stuff into space. It's in its firing stage and I can't get it to stop. You’re going to be launched into space!" “So what about it? I'll just fly back down." Discord's face was sketched with a worried look. He started to fiddle with the levers a bit more, his pace starting to get drastic and more random. Finally a lever snapped its metal bonds nothing compared to the spirits strength. He kicked the panel and looked at Galaxy with a red face and tear filled eyes eyes. “It does more then that.... It fires stuff out of obit, you'll be gone forever!" “Discord calm down and be patient.... I'll be back in a few days....... I want you to be with Celestia by then. Your my brother, and will always be no matter what. Remember that as long as you never forget our times together, you'll always have a friend." Galaxy knew it was a lie that he was coming back in a few days. He didn't even expect to get back at all, but he had to calm Discord down. With a final wave and a solute he held his breath as the eruption in the cannon pushed him. He was shot as the rate of speed close enough to light. He soured threw space, amazed at his domain. He was to conquer this new frontier, sure it would take a lot of time, but he had plenty to spare. His conquest would last 2000 years and will span billions of light years. But it was worth it. His expedition into the wonders of the galaxy was to be celebrated. He traveled to thousands of worlds, meeting millions of creatures big and small. He became ruler of many of them and he also made many friends along the way. The laughs and smiles of so many creatures gave him purpose. A purpose to try with all his might to accomplish and he wanted to do it with a thousand smiling faces with him. He wanted to become King of the Galaxy. He saved millions of lives and thousands of planets from despair. But through it all he held a personal mission in his mind, a mission he would never forget. He wanted to give his brother a hug and tell him how much he loves him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm not a shipper of Dislestia, I do Discopie instead. But the point is that this took way to long. The next one will be pretty bloody and will center around mostly discord and how he slaughtered every alicorn on the planet and became king.
