Asteroid Supernova
Luna, there you are, my dear.
Something is terribly wrong!
I have some awful news, I fear.
The sun and moon are both gone!
What? Impossible! It cannot be so!
We are the only souls
With power to control those orbs.
Absurd, that they, someone stole.
This mystery, I don’t understand,
But look at the panic it’s caused.
The ponies, down below in the land,
Their very lives have paused.
They’re scared and confused, and so very lost.
This I will not tolerate.
We will find the source, whatever the cost,
And order, we’ll reinstate
.
Wait, I know, there is only one more
With power to control our skies.
It seems you’ve forgotten our dear old friend,
It’s me, Celly! What a surprise!
Discord, this mess is your handiwork?
But what in the heavens name for?
You’ve gone and driven us all berserk.
Our rules, you’ve simply ignored!
Well of course I did, Celly. Don’t you see?
How so very fun, our world can be?
I wanted to give you a chance to relax,
To give you and Luna some time to kickback.
So I took down your sun, and Luna’s moon too.
And now all your chores are done!
It was just a favor, as that’s what friends do.
So come on, let’s have some fun!
Discord, you’re my friend, you know you are,
But you can’t possibly think
That you haven’t taken this joke too far.
You’ve driven them all to the brink!
The ponies in the town below,
They fear for their very lives!
You’ve completely destroyed the status quo
Of how we all survive!
Oh come now, Celly, it was just a joke.
No need to throw a fit.
You're taking this all too seriously.
And freaking out just a bit.
No, Discord. I think not.
I’m sick of your little games.
It would seem that you have forgot
Your promise to keep yourself tame.
Tia, please, you need to calm down.
It really wasn’t that bad.
Discord clearly meant us no harm.
You shouldn’t be so mad.
Even if it was a bit unsafe,
We can fix everything now.
No harm was done, every pony is fine,
Please, just calm yourself down.
What!? Luna, do you not comprehend
Exactly what he has done?
The world, his tiny prank will upend.
He took away my sun!
He rules this land with a chaotic fist,
Keeping ponies everywhere in pain.
We cannot continue on like this.
It’s driving me insane!
Celestia, you always exaggerate
Whenever you get the least bit irate.
These pranks don’t make me a ruler, my dear,
And the ponies are hardly living in fear.
You seem to think I rule this land
Eternally in unrest.
We both know I would never destroy
The ponies’ happiness.
I just wanted some fun, just to play, that is all.
Is it really so bad that you’re this appalled?
Now stop all these lies, and just go relax.
I don’t care much for your tone.
I hate talking to you when you’re like this. In fact,
I think I’ll just leave you alone.
I cannot allow you to go anywhere.
With one trick, there’s always another.
You’re a being that just doesn’t care,
And lives on the pain of others!
Do you know why I pull all these pranks, my dear?
It’s not just because I thrive on your fear.
All I wanted to do
Was brighten the day up for you
And add some delight
To dear Luna’s night
But apparently that’s just plain rude!
Back before you were head of Equestria
You would laugh and play along,
But now that you have all these subjects,
It seems everything I do is wrong!
Well, Celly, I’ll tell you the truth.
I’m sick of the way things are run!
So I don’t care if you think it’s uncouth,
I’m going to have some fun!
We’ve always looked the other way
Because you are our friend.
But look at what you’ve done today.
Your actions I can’t defend!
If this is the way things are to be run
To continue, I cannot allow.
You are a hazard to everyone.
I’m ending this nonsense now.
Tia, stop, you cannot do this!
Think back to all the good times
We have had as three best friends.
Are they worth less than this crime?
One transgression cannot upset
The magic that was in our hearts.
I cannot bear to see you two fight.
You’re tearing our friendship apart!
No, Luna. Can you not hear him?
This is what has to be done.
He’d ruin our nation just on a whim
Or go and destroy my sun!
This is the way it has to be.
Discord will meet his downfall.
I’m ending his reign of chaotic glee.
I’m ending this once and for all.
You know what, Princess? You can’t stop me.
A thunderstorm here, a twister right there.
And why don’t I summon a ninety foot bear?
Where your castle once was, now a forest appears,
Dark and unruly, filled with your fears.
I’ll boil the seas, freeze over the skies,
Kill anypony who dares ask me why.
With a snap of my fingers, the very earth cracks.
I’ll throw the entire world out of whack!
Can you feel it, Celestia?
Chaos.
Powerful. Untamable.
Destroying, creating, rearranging.
Exciting; No rules or order!
Chaos.
Discord, what are you doing?
I know this is not who you are!
Yes, Tia may be out of line
But you’re taking this way too far!
Tia still cares for you, though she is mad,
And I know the real you is there.
I’m begging you, please stop all this madness.
We can work this out, I swear!
Luna, I really don't think
We can fix up this here kink.
She has opened my eyes
To all of her lies
And now I’ll show you, I think.
Discord, what are you talking about?
Tia’s never lied to me.
She is honest, I am positive.
Are you now? Well, we’ll just see.
She tells you she cares, that you’re special as her.
Is that really the truth? Are you really sure?
Because she and I are both aware
When it comes to Luna, nopony cares.
W-what?! Stop this right now.
Afraid of the truth, Princess?
This isn’t the truth! It can’t be! I know it!
I’m honest, every word I confess.
Your sister Celestia, it is clear,
Forgets about you so soon.
If you look back on our chat, I fear,
Not once does she mention your moon.
Why do you love her so much, I wonder,
When she doesn’t care about you?
And now that I stop and think for a second,
The ponies ignore you too!
No! That’s nonsense! They clearly love me!
They love the moon and starlight!
They always treat me with love and respect!
Then why do they sleep through your night?
That’s enough, Discord! Leave Luna alone!
This is between you and me!
I am the one that you need to dethrone
If you wish to destroy harmony!
Oh, I’m not through with you yet, Princess,
But you can do me no harm.
With a snap of my fingers, your horn disappears,
And look at that! Now you’re unarmed!
I wonder how you will fight with no magic.
Your situation is so very tragic.
You might as well give up now, my friend.
I would hate if today, your life were to end.
Ah- No! this cannot be true!
How could you be so strong?!
I always thought I was equal to you.
Were you playing us all along?
Why yes, Celestia, I did!
How very clever of you.
But now I will no longer kid.
With these games, I am through.
I don’t care if you’re incredibly strong,
I don’t care what you can do.
I’ve defended this nation my entire life long
And I’ll never surrender to you.
Very well then, have it your way.
Goodbye, my very dear friends.
I’ll always remember the memories,
But now, your rule I must end.
You used to be my friend, Discord.
But now I can't recognize you.
Please, forgive Tia and I
For what we’re about to do.
Tia, do you remember
When father gave us those gems?
He told us only to bring them to light,
If our nation, we had to defend.
It seems as though that time is now,
Heartbreaking, though it may be.
Regrettably, we have to use
The Elements of Harmony.
You’re kidding. You’re kidding, right?
You think my attacks you can stop
With those dull, boring ol' rocks?
I’m not even mad
As this is so sad.
You girls are too easy to mock!
Luna, do you really think that is safe?
We don’t know what those gems do!
I don’t see any other way.
I can’t stop him, neither can you!
Oh, this is priceless, this is just too good!
This is really your plan?
And here I thought you two understood
The powers that I command.
I’ll tell you what, since I’m such a sport,
And your list of options is so very short,
I’ll give you a free shot, just one, that is all.
And then down your whole world will fall.
Come join me Luna, we’ve only one shot.
To waste it, we cannot afford!
We’ll give him everything that we’ve got!
Please… forgive us, Discord.
