//------------------------------// // Discord Demolition Day! // Story: A Crossover With Chaos // by PonyWithAPen //------------------------------// Discord was amused. Keroro, by comparison, was absolutely enraged. The entire platoon was seeing a side of the sarge that rarely surfaced due to his lazy and carefree nature. “Look at him! It’s as if Discord smashed his rarest Gundam model!” Natsumi said, surprised. Fuyuki was the only one who could calm him down when he was like this. Apparently, the boy hadn’t gotten the memo that a gigantic battle was about to take place. Fuyuki was back in Ponyville watching over a bunch of the fillies as the general populace of the town ran amok in terror. “Fuyuki! What are we going to do?” Scootaloo asked him. “I don’t know, but I’ll think of something.” Somehow, having all of these fillies depend on him made him feel oddly heroic. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. “Fuyuki! I’ve been looking everywhere for you! Discord turned on Keroro and now they’re about to have a huge showdown!” It was Dororo, the one who’d been forgotten in all of this. Fuyuki turned to him. “Wait, how do you know that? Aren’t we both trapped here in Equestria?” “We were…Discord split something called the fourth wall in half, so both of these worlds exist simultaneously. Twilight and the others have already gone to face him. I am staying here for now. I’m still sore at Keroro for trading me to Pinkie Pie! We’re supposed to be platoon mates!” Dororo’s tone turned to sorrow at the end. Fuyuki patted him on the back and started running towards the edge of Ponyville, hoping to transport himself back to his own world. Dororo continued to sit by himself until three others sat next to him. He looked up. “Oh…hello. Don’t mind me.” “Hey there, mister! Why are ya cryin?” Apple Bloom asked. “Do you really want to know?” Dororo asked her. “Yeah!” Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and herself chimed in unison. “Okay, but it’s a long story and the audience probably wants to watch Discord and Keroro trade somewhat-witty one-liners.” (That they do, Dororo! But I’m sure the girls will be entertained.) Back at Discord’s domain, Keroro finally hopped down from Rainbow Dash’s head. “You see this book? I am going to put you through every single one of these!” Keroro said, his eyes still on fire. Discord looked amused. “9001 Ways to Brutally Torture Your Enemies, eh? That’s a good one. Kululu showed me all of the best methods on his Kindle.” The villain chuckled, causing Keroro to scowl even more. “I prefer #8,998, myself.” Kululu said. “Why is it always 9,001, anyway? Why not just 9,000?” Discord asked. “I have a book called ‘9001 Exotic Recipes for Exotic Equines’ back at home in my library. Someone really likes that number around here.” Twilight said. “But that’s beside the point! Discord, we’ve come to bring you back to Equestria!” This only invited laughter from the beast. “And just how are you going to do that?” Discord asked, mockingly. “It’s simple, old buddy! We will rock you!” Keroro said, causing nearly everyone behind him to fall over in an exaggerated reaction to his pun. “Really?? Of all the cheesy summer action flick one-liners, that’s the one you went with?” Rainbow said, cringing. Keroro turned around. “I didn’t see you offering up any good ones, Skittles! Should I have instead yelled ‘taste the rainbow, mother-’” An explosion interrupted Keroro’s naughty word. Standing there in the shadows were Tamama, Dororo and Fuyuki. Discord just smiled. “I figured you’d all be back. Tamama, dance for our nice guests!” He snapped his fingers. However, the young tadpole did not obey. “Time for me to steal the spotlight! Tamama…Impact!” Balls of energy came firing from his mouth as the beleaguered youngest platoon member took every shot he could at Discord. After finishing his barrage, Discord could not be seen. Tamama’s massive attack had left the entire room in a smokescreen. “From now on, they’ll have to call you…Swisscord!” The kid smirked. Giroro came over to him. “That was actually pretty good. You did it, Tamama!” Unfortunately, laughter could be heard coming from the spot where Tamama had focused his attack. (Yes, it was a pretty epic moment for the youngster. It’s just too bad he aims like a Stormtrooper.) “Sorry, Tamama…I’m afraid your moment of triumph is in another castle!” As the smoke cleared, it became evident that Tamama’s blasts of energy had all missed Discord. (It seemed hopeless for our heroes. Tamama couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, and Kululu was still working against the Armpit Platoon! Looks like I’ll soon be working for the Discord show! Hey dragon man, can we talk salary later?) It was just then that Twilight remembered something important. “Uh…hello? I’ve been standing here for about a half hour now with the Elements of Harmony on standby.” Everyone reacted accordingly. Discord recoiled in horror. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” It was Twilight’s turn to smirk. “Discord, you are going to pay for splitting the very fabric of space and time. You committed first degree murder on the fourth wall, and that’s enough to put you away for a long, long while.” Discord, clearly backpedaling now, tried to keep his cool. “Yeah, sure. Whatever, Officer Sparkle!” Twilight began glowing. She had activated her element. Quickly the power made its way around until all six elements were as one. For once in his life, Discord’s sarcastic quips had finally caught up to him. “Fine, you win again, Twilight Sparkle. But just remember, as long as there is goody-good sugarbowl nonsense in this world, I will always be around to disturb the peace! You’ll never fully defeat me, young lady!” Discord said, knowing his words were only stalling for time as his inevitable re-forming into stone drew closer. And then Vinbow McDashington crashed through the wall, violently blew Discord into bloody pieces and yelled something very vulgar as she rocketed off into the night. The End. … (Just kidding! But you have to admit, we got you good! We at least have to show you how she did it!) As Twilight and the girls prepared to turn the pesky Discord to stone once more, they were suddenly met by another violent explosion. This time, a young alicorn filly flew through the air and stopped just above Discord. She was not alone. The Cutie Mark Crusaders (minus Babs, who was back in Manehattan) peeked out from behind the massive weapon the other filly carried. “Yippee ki yay, mother-!” The filly opened fire, nearly blinding and deafening the entire group as she fired blast after blast at Discord. When the onslaught was finally over, the walls were covered in blood. Discord, as the group knew him, was nowhere to be found. Twilight and the girls removed their elements and put them back in the box. The mysterious filly had landed with the gigantic weapon and the Cutie Mark Crusaders in tow. Immediately, the crusaders checked their flanks. Nothing had changed. (Sadly, becoming the “Cutie Mark Crusader Discord Demolition Derbyists, yay!” had no effect on their cutie marks.) Momoka burst in the door. She realized within seconds that she had been late to the action. She approached Twilight. “Where is Discord?” she asked. “Oh, he’s there, and there, and there, and I think over there, too.” Rainbow said, pointing toward various corners of the room and mortifying Twilight at the same time. Keroro stood there, stunned. “Well, at least we all get medals...” “That’s right, you do!” A booming voice echoed throughout the room. Within seconds, the entire group, minus Discord’s bloody chunks, was warped to Canterlot Castle. At that moment, Celestia chose to delay the repair of the fourth wall, which she now controlled thanks to Discord’s demise. The ponies, humans and frogs found themselves in Princess Celestia’s throne room. “Thank you all for helping to defeat Discord once and for all…though you could have done it a little cleaner.” Vinbow chuckled, embarrassed. “Time for the medal ceremony. Award one medal each to the heroes that saved Equestria and the planet of the humans from total chaos!” Luna brought out the medal box and bestowed one medal each upon Fuyuki, Dororo, Vinbow, Tamama, Natsumi, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. This, naturally, prompted some questions from everyone else who didn’t get one. “Hey…how come we all didn’t get medals, princess?” Twilight asked in an earnest, non-complaining way. “Because you didn’t use the elements before young Vinbow took matters into her own hooves.” Twilight nearly fell flat on her face. “This is going to be one heck of a friendship letter.” At the gate bridging the two worlds, it was finally time for the parties to say their goodbyes. “I’ll miss you, Twilight. I don’t have a lot of friends who appreciate books like I do back home.” The pair hugged. “You will, someday, Fuyuki. I promise.” Twilight said, smiling back at him. Giroro and Rainbow briefly acknowledged each other’s awesomeness, Pinkie and Tamama promised they would have an eating contest if he ever came back, and the rest of the group just talked for a couple minutes, wishing they’d had more time to spend together. Finally, Dororo and Fluttershy had to say goodbye. “I’ll miss you, Fluttershy. Besides Koyuki, I’ve never had anyone treat me so well.” They hugged. “Oh Dororo…I’ll miss you too. Goodbye.” She gave him a warm smile as they departed. With that, the Armpit Platoon and their human friends stepped back through the fourth wall, making it back to their own world just moments before the wall finished repairing itself, sealing off the two worlds from each other. Fuyuki had a question for Dororo. “Hey…I thought you wanted to stay in Equestria with Fluttershy.” “I did. But I have Koyuki here on Pekopon, and I couldn’t bear to leave her behind. Plus, I got a medal and Keroro didn’t. That’s good enough for me!” The pair shared a laugh. Keroro scowled. “Why the frog didn’t I get a medal?? I helped defeat Discord too, you know!” Natsumi grabbed him and picked him up. “Boy, you are one stupid frog…” (And as Dororo and the group admired their medals, Keroro was the only one to complain about not getting one. Big surprise. Also, Kululu and Pinkie Pie each spent 3 days in solitary confinement for their roles in the Discord fiasco. Don’t you just love happy endings?) The End…for real this time.
