//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Joker-Emperor of Equestria // by jidbrony //------------------------------// Chapter 3 In the depths of Bat-Cave Batman tries to get a lock onto were Joker might have been transported to, using his high tech computer he manages to trace the energy from the Lex-Corp portal but wasn't able to get a trace. "Blast I can track the energy but not the single." Batman muttered. Superman was with him as well. "Don't worry you'll find him." Superman said trying to cheer up his friend. "That's not what worries me, far be it he stay in another dimension, but unless we knew what that dimension was, he could be bringing others suffering as we speak. Besides even if we..." Batman the found something on his computer. "What is it?" Superman asked. "It's the coordinates to the world he went." Batman replied. "Great, now all we need is a portal to go and see were he is." Superman said. "It's not that simple, the portal used a highly concentrated energy not found on this planet. But I think I know were we can find some more." Batman said looking at Superman who seemed confused at first, but then figured it out. "Luthor." Superman muttered. ****** Discord after a long busy day decided to take a well deserved nap on one of the Apple family trees, he got himself a nice cloud to use as a pillow and began to dream peaceful dreams, or he would have had Rainbowdash not pushed him off the tree before he fell asleep. "First me not being able to get a tan now this." Discord said sounding annoyed. "What is this, stop Discord from having a relaxing time day!" He gets up to see Rainbowdash glaring up him. "Why am I not surprised." "Discord! What did you do!" Rainbowdash yelled at him. "As of now, losing the ability to relax." Discord retorted. "What are you talking about." "This." Rainbowdash showed Discord the drawing of him on a piece of paper. Discord took a look at it with confusion. "What, there's a poorly looking doodle of me. It hardly captures my unique complexion" Discord said not sure what Rainbowdash was going with this. "Yeah, I found it in Twilight's house." Rainbowdash snarled at him. "Her now burned to the ground house." Discord seemed confused. "Burned to the grown, what she leave the stove on or something." Discord chuckled at his own Joker but Rainbowdash wasn't having any of it. "No because of some novelty gags, that exploded that you set up!" Rainbowdash accused Discord. "What! Novelty gags. I never did that, sure I like a good novelty gag as much as the next spirit of chaos but mine normally don't burn houses, they normally just cover them in slime of cotton candy." Discord said now really confused at whats going on." "Then why did I find a picture of you in the rubble." Rainbowdash said continuing to show the card to Discord. "I don't know, maybe Twilight has a thing for me." Discord said getting grossed out by that thought. "But really Rainbowdash isn't it obvious someone is obviously doing a bad job of setting my up." "Yeah, like who." Rainbowdash retorted back. "Oh I don't know, Changelings, Diamond dogs, anyone who has something to gain by me getting thrown back into stone, even you are a suspect." he pointed his eagle clawed finger at Rainbowdash. "Me! I wouldn't burn down half of Ponyville to get you back into stone." Rainbowdash scorned back at him. "Ah but you admit you wan't me in stone," Discord retorted back. "Well...I...uh...I still don't trust you!" and with that Rainbowdash flew back off leaving Discord with a smirk of triumph on his face, only to go back to a look of emotional neutrality as he slowly just walked off not knowing that the Joker was listing into the whole confrontation from a distance. "Oh it's so much fun sowing the seeds of....Discord HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But! Once those seeds are sown they will grow into to a tree large enough for me to plan the most spectacular event the universe has ever seen. HEHAHAHEHEHAHAHA!" "Alright that's enough come on out!" Discord shouted much to Joker's surprise but then again nothing really surprised The Joker. Coming out from the bushes The Joker casually walked up to Discord giving him his classic Joker grin giggling with glee. "So, your the one who's trying to frame me." Discord said. "Strange looking creature, what are you." "I am The Joker the Clown Prince of crime, spreading chaos and anarchy to wherever I want to because well...I can HAHA! " The Joker stood there confident in front of the Spirit of Chaos who merely glared at him. "Bold move revealing yourself like that, what makes you think I won't just summon my pony friends and have you carted off to the dungeons." Discord threatened. "Simple." Joker grinned. "Because your like me Discord, well, for most part. You don't like to make things to easy, you like me prefer hunt, the game." Joker then pulls out a deck of cards and randomly pulls one out of the deck, it is a Joker card . "The luck of the drawl HA! HA!. All the things that make life and living a joke, for after all isn't that what life is... just someone's bad attempt at a pathetic joke." I don't follow..." Discord was interrupted before he could finish. 'NO! Don't pretend to be one of them! Your not, your not, even if you want to be! You understand. You know in your heart this is true!" Joker widened his insane at Discord. "If you didn't understand then you would have just killed of those Ponies the moment you were released from stone the second time instead you decided to twist there minds into hating each other, oh yes Discord I know about that. I looked you up in the purple one's now burnt down home. You were quite the mischievous one back then, spreading chaos ruling Equestria having a bang up time because you knew like me these ponies lives was one big joke." Discord seemed a bit shaken by the clowns logic, because to him, it did make some sense. Joker noticed he was getting through to him and continued on. "I propose a game, a challenge a game of the minds and hearts and even more fun the sanity of othersHAHAHA!. We are both men of chaos so I think you'll appreciate this. Now I notice that, that flying gay rights symbol that flew on by hates your guts, and from what I've learned about you, she's got good reason to. So here's the challenge,though a series of heinous crimes and attacks, I will be trying to frame you and make your friends think you've gone back to your Chaotic ways again, all you have to do is to convince that blue one that you didn't do it and get her to be-friend true and genuine, just her and no one else. If you win, you get to hand me into the authorities and lock me away, but if you lose and she and her other friends hate you." Joker then gives off a wide grin. "I get all of your powers." Joker then starts giggling with glee. Discord seemed hesitant at first not sure if he should go along with it. "Why would I even allow you to do this, go on and wreck havoc on Equestria. That's my job....I mean that's wrong!" "Come on Discord, all you have to do is convince one tiny, bit sized flying freak to like you, especially with all your powers and abilities that should be a breeze, especially going after a mere mortal like me who has to convince Six whole Ponies to hate you especially that really annoying yellow one who acts like one of those annoying Disney princesses." Joker egged him on. "What makes you think I just won't tell them your committing the crimes." DIscord responded back. "But you won't because like I said early you hate doing things easy, you'll lose the satisfactory of outsmarting me. Besides you can't that's rule number one of the game you can't tell them our secret." "Alright fine, rule two is no killing of any innocent ponies." Discord said. Joker looked a bit hesitant. "Oh, sorry can't agree to that. But from what I heard can't you just bring loved ones back from the dead anyway." "Well...yes I can." Discord said. "How did you know, that's the one power I don't reveal to anyone else. I rarely use it for..." "Lucky guess. I don't need to hear your life story." Joker interrupted much to Discord's annoyance "Rule numero three." Joker lifted three fingers up. "If I win, you don't go back on your promise, no matter what happens, I get those powers. Deal." Joker extends his hand. Discord remained hesitant at first but eventually took the clowns hand and shook it. "Deal. "Now I leave you Discord with a poem." Joker gave a tiny cough before he began. "Blood is red, some ponies are blue, everyone will dead, except for me and you, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!" and with that disturb image the game had begun.
