D&D! (part 2)
Celestia stood in awe, her eyes seemed glued to the draconequus who had destroyed the doors into the Hall of Harmony. Discord cracked his knuckles and walked towards the two alicorns and their unicorn general, his teeth showing in a psychotic smile.
“Well,” the Chaos God began, “it looks like someone threw up in my old throne room. And what’s this?” Discord’s eyes rested on a familiar sight in the hall, the stained glass window depicting how Twilight Sparkle and her friends turned the draconequus into stone. “I’m actually impressed, you managed to find other ponies that could use the Elements... Which means that...” He turned to his old foes and snapped the claws on his eagle talon, teleporting Discord right in front of Luna.
The blue alicorn gasped and backed away from her old enemy, “Leave us alone Discord! We don’t want to fight you, The Doctor told us about how you helped him defeat Blackspine just... Just please leave us in peace.”
“Doctor? Doctor who?” Discord replied, scratching his head in confusion, “I don’t know what you’re talking about Luna, but I do know that a certain alicorn should hold her tongue about the Great Lord Blackspine. That is... before that alicorn looses her tongue.” With that, the draconequus let out a deep laugh from the back of his throat before he snapped his claws again. Suddenly, bars erupted from the castle floor, surrounding the three ponies in the room. The bars seemed to pulse as a large, grey metal roof grew out of them. “Now...” Discord turned toward the door where the Elements of Harmony where kept, “Time to redecorate.”

Lyra panted as the two time travelers finally stopped to catch their breath. She and Discord, still disguised as Silly-String, had been running up the hill to Canterlot Castle for what seemed like hours. The entire time they passed some strange things, like that restaurant that turned into a giant pile of noodles topped with a thin layer of red sauce and that weird tiny, chubby pony that looked like Rainbow Dash if she where just a cute head with legs. “Discord,” Lyra said between deep breaths, “These all seem like your type of pranks... Are you sure that you didn’t mess with any of this stuff?”
The ponyfied chaos god shook his head, he seemed to have more control over his breathing then the mint unicorn... Then again, he did have a flank load of magic. “No, I wish I could take credit for this stuff. But, it’s strange... It feels like my magic, but it obviously wasn’t me... which means it could only be... Blackspine!” With that, the grey pony resumed his charge up the hill at full speed. The musical unicorn sighed and began to trot after him, until she his her forehead with her own hoof.
“I forgot I can teleport... Discord! I can teleport!” Lyra called after her companion, but he was out of ear shot, “Oh well, I’ll meet him up there.” She then closed her eyes and was enveloped by a blinding light, before she was quickly zapped to the front gates of the castle.

As he finally reached his old castle, Discord skidded to a halt just as Lyra appeared next to him. “What took you so long?”
“Oh nothing,” Lyra said, “just took in the sights, got a drink of water, and... oh yeah, REMEMBERED I COULD BUCKING TELEPORT!”
“That’s nice...” Discord said, completely ignoring his minty green ally as he took a few steps towards the door of Canterlot Castle. Suddenly, the stone building flashed with a bright light and seemed to morph. The once bright white stones that made out the walls of the castle where now a dirty black color, the towers where now curved and twisted (one was actually twisted into a knot), and the tallest tower seemed to have a slide that looped and drop until it reached a new moat filled with lime green jello.
“Ok, that tares it!” Discord shouted, shedding his pony form as he stormed through the doors of his former castle. “I can stand you taking my magic! I can stand you pulling pranks, especially of that caliber! But I will not, WILL NOT, let you steal my style of house decorating! No one steals tha...” The draconequus paused as he reached the Hall of Harmony, now transformed into a large throne room with his usual skull throne at the end of the huge corridor. Sitting on that throne was a draconequus, but not just any draconequus... It was him, Discord...
The two chaos gods looked at each other with wide eyes as their mouths dropped to the floor. All the two could say was one simple phrase: “What the buck?”
“Hey what’s up?” Lyra asked as she entered the room. Instead of seeing the obvious second draconequus in the room, the unicorn charged toward the three ponies in cages. “Princess Celestia! Princess Luna, are you two ok? Who did this to you?” The two royal alicorns pointed to the figure on the throne, and as Lyra turned she joined the two Discords in their wide eye stares.
“You know what?” the Discord on the throne said, “For an obvious copy, you’re very handsome.”
“Thank you for the compliment good sir,” the Discord that came in with Lyra answered, “but I think it’s obvious who the clone here is... Let’s just skip all this and go straight to the fight, what do you say old bean.”
“Sounds like a plan... One second.” the sitting Discord pressed down on his gazelle horn, causing it to disappear into his skull, “Able to tell us apart Celly?” The princess just nodded to this, her eyes now wide as well. “Good... Now... Let’s have some fun.” The seated Discord snapped his claws and...

Hello? Um... Hi everypony, this is Muleicous here. Now, I know a lot of you where probably expecting a big fight scene with the two Discords, right? Well, the thing is... I’m not too good at fight scenes... That and I deleted the old version of this scene and can’t remember how it went. So instead, enjoy this Haters Gonna Hate picture.
We now resume out normal story, thank you for your time and patience.

Discord stood over his foe, the four ponies cheering for him (which was a new experience for Celestia and Luna). Quickly, the good Discord (his gazelle horn showing) snapped his eagle claws and released the two princesses and their general.
“That was amazing!” Lyra called out, “How did you pull Fluttershy out of the wall and make her attack him with that ax?”
“Probably the same way he made lightning come out of his mouth... It was a good fight wasn’t it?” Discord said, smiling proudly, “I’d hate to be the guy who missed it.”
“So,” Princess Celestia approached the now unconscious evil Discord, “What do we do with him?”
“I say we finish the job,” Stormbreaker chimed in, he had been dead silent during the fight, “ we need to make sure he can’t hurt anypony else.”
“Sorry general... But I have a better idea.” Discord replied, quickly seeing the rip in time near the wall of the room. The draconequus quickly pushed his doppelganger into the hole in space and time, letting him slip through. He then turned to Lyra and nodded, “We should probably go after him.”
The mint unicorn nodded and jumped into the rip behind her companion. The two princesses looked at each other as their castle began to morph back to its normal state, and the two knew that this day was only beginning for their saviors.
