I sat under a tree next to the lake with one thought on my mind, what the hell am I going to do? I mean, yeah I said I was going to find Discord but how will I find him if I'm at the beginning of season three? He would still be in stone, Celestia doesn’t have Discord reformed until near the end of this season, I would have to find him in Canterlot, but how?
I don't have a map, and I have no sense of direction, god dammit I might as well be Ryoga and walk around just to end up going in circles, "Dammit why didn't Discord just drop me right in front of his statue or something!?" I asked the world that I now was in.
You know what? Why was Discord even in my world in the first place, I know he's the spirit of chaos and all, but what was he up to in my world? Maybe he was planning something and if so what, what could possibly be in my world that he would want and why would he send me here? Well of course I asked for it but… why?
I sighed in confusion I was always a stupid ass guy at home I would never think about anything much, I just went with the flow with everything homework for school, work at my job and fighting.
That thought brought a smile to my face I always liked fighting, strange I know but that's what I do back home I would scrap with anybody, I wanted to kids who were picking for a fight or bullying some helpless guy, I want kids who would beat up other dude's who were harassing some poor women or trying to hurt someone who was weaker.
I know what you're thinking I'm some sort of geek who wanted to be a hero well let me tell you your damn wrong I just wanted to find someone to beat the crap out of... but picking on someone who couldn't defend themselves didn't sound right to me… sometimes.
I have to admit I kinda have a problem with fighting and can't seem to stop, of course I try to keep calm and avoid causing trouble but sometimes I just can't stop and I end up going after the people I already beat down once and then I become the bully, I fessed up and went to the authorities because of guilt and said I'm sorry.
But sometimes some people won't accept apologies and then some things just go to far.
I groaned and put my claws-er paws, you know what I'm just gonna call this mismatch bunch here hands because that's just confusing, I put my 'hands' over my face and groaned at long forgotten memories, or at least, they should be forgotten.
When I lowered my ‘hands’ from my brown face I notice something out in the distance, I squinted my eyes to avert the sun and saw four far away figures coming up to the lake from over the hill and fast.
I jumped up from my spot and started to panic in my head, 'Oh fuck, what am I going to do!? what would somebody or.. I guess it’s somepony now, would do if they saw me like this!?" I thought to myself about different outcomes playing through my head, all of which didn't end well with me looking like a teen version of Celestia's worst enemy.
I ran around the tree trying to think of what to do like some idiot, I jumped into the tree climbing up onto a branch out of view. I looked out from the tree through the leaves and branches at the approaching figures until I could finally get a good look at them.
In front of the figures was a pony a actual pony that was like one of the ponies from the show, what can I say I still couldn't believe what happened to me and that I was in a cartoon, the pony had a blue mane and a white coat and he was running like a mad pony, obviously running from the rest of the figures that were chasing him.
I looked at the other three figures and what I saw made me gasp, The ponies that were chasing him were strange looking ponies with holes in their legs and a black coat, they had wings that looked like bug wings, they didn't have a mane like a pony should and I could see their cold looking blue eyes that I couldn't seem to stop staring at. I knew what they were.
"Changelings!" I said to myself in shock one of the most feared creatures in Equestria as far as we know besides dragons and they were right in front of me, coming straight towards this tree unfortunately.
One of the changelings got a bit closer to the pony and tried to bite his leg but the pony saw him coming and bucked him right in the face with his hind legs and trotted faster, he made it to the lake and reached the tree I was hiding in, he circled around to take cover behind it.
I looked down at the pony, he looked strong with a muscular body, he had a horn so I could tell he was a unicorn he kinda looked like Shining armor but slightly younger, I looked back at the changelings who were now just inches from the tree. As soon as they were close enough the unicorn poked his head from around the other side and fired a magical blast at them.
The changelings all scattered to avoid the shot and hissed in anger, charging at the tree, the unicorn fired round after round at the changelings but just kept missing. Damn he sucked at shooting worse then a storm trooper, the unicorn then started to run again until one of the changelings spit slime right at his hooves.
The pony struggled to get free from the gross slime but to no avail, I watched as the changelings hissed as they slowly got closer to the unicorn ready to strike or so I thought when suddenly they stopped inches from their prey, "Finally we’ve captured you, you’ll be coming with us. And this time you won't escape!" the changeling in the front hissed.
The changelings and unicorn were right under me now, I just watched to observe what would happen next. The pony struggled and looked at the changelings angrily, "I’ll never go back to that hive!" he yelled in anger.
The leader hissed, "You will! You cannot escape, it is your fate." he retorted.
Okay I've seen enough, "Hey if the dude says he doesn't want to go, he doesn't want to go!" I yelled scaring the group below as the changeling leader looked around in fear.
"W-Who said that?" he asked.
I smiled with a devilish plan coming into my mind, using my new long green tail I shot it down towards the changeling leader and rapped my tail around his neck tightly, he gasped as I shot him up into the branches. I made his face come right up to mine our muzzles inches apart from each other.
"I did." I said in a menacing tone of voice. He screamed in pure terror and I threw him right out of the tree with my tail, sending him rolling across the field. I jumped out of the tree out onto the field for the rest to see with my back turned to them.
"WHAT IN TARTARUS IS THAT THING!? Yelled the changeling in fear.
I smiled, "Who am I?" I replied and turned to face the crowd with a evil looking smile, "I'm Disaster and If you don't get out the way you're going to get hurt!" I said clutching my fist threateningly.
The two changelings stared at me with fear until there boss snapped them out of it, "Don't just stand there, get him!" yelled the other changelings who were still getting up off the ground. The changelings looked at him before they started hissing at me.
"Hold it!" I retorted, the changelings stopped to look at me confused, "Don't you know what I am?" I asked them they looked at each other and shrugged I even looked at the leader and saw he was a bit curious too.
I smiled, "I'm a Draconequus, meaning I'm just like Discord. All powerful, I live for chaos," I said leaning in sinisterly, "Are you sure you want to mess with me?"
The two looked at eachother then at me as they started to back away in fear, "Don't be afraid of that monster! Would you prefer to face the queen?" the leader retorted, the changelings looked at him before looking back at me, they hissed and started walking towards me.
"Alright, you asked for it." I said, pulling the Palm of my paw at the changelings making them stop in fear, I pointed my paw at them and...and...and nothing happened, "Oh well… this is… oh crap."
"Get him!!" Yelled the boss before all three changelings charged at me, well if I can't do what the draconequuses do, do what the humans do, swinging my huge tail I slammed all three changelings away from me. I turned around and jumped at the nearest changeling I could get to, swinging my Tiger paw I ripped out his throat and blue blood sprayed everywhere.
The changeling gurgled on his blue blood as it came coughing out of his mouth and spilled out of his neck, he fell to the ground limp. The other changelings got back up and both jumped up at me on either side, I swung my tail at the leader and struck him back to the ground, he rolled away grunting.
I quickly grabbed the other one from the air and impaled him through the stomach with my talons right through his back. My arm now sticking out of it covered in blood, I removed my arm from him and threw the lifeless carcass. I looked over at the last changeling.
The changeling saw me staring right at him and quickly got up to his hooves and started running but that wasn't happening. Flapping my wings for the first time I Propelled myself forward towards the creature and tackled him down to the ground, with me on top of him the changeling then looked up at me pleadingly.
"Please let me go! You can have him just please let me live!" the Changeling pleaded.
I shook my head, "Sorry but if I'm right you're one of Queen Chrysalis subjects and I can't risk her being on my tail for killing one of her own." I retorted as I lifted my talons up two fingers pointing out ready to poke his eyes out.
"No Please! AHHHHH!" he screamed before I struck.
"You promised."
I stopped near inches from the changelings eyes I sighed and looked down at the bug who was breathing heavily in fear I squinted my eyes at him I grabbed his neck and picked him up into the air, "Okay I'll let you live but you tell your queen that the pony killed your comrades, you had to retreat. GOT IT?!" I warned.
The changeling nodded his head quickly, "Alright and if you even think about telling her about me if you so much as say any part of the truth I will find you and I will kill you." I said. I dropped him on his flank and he ran away as fast as he could, I watched as he ran. I turned around and looked at the pony.
He saw me staring at him and tried to run away but failed when he realized he was still stuck in the goo, I walked over to him and he tried to break free to get away still looking at me. I stopped in front of him and raised my paw, bringing it down on the goo that held his hooves I kept scratching at the goo until his hooves were free.
I looked at him to see he had his eyes closed then he opened them to look at his hooves then at me. "Y-you saved me?" He said, surprised.
I waved, "Eh it was nothing, I don't like seeing ponies get ganged up on like that." I replied.
"So you're not going to hurt me?" He asked.
I shook my head, "Nope."
We stood there looking at each other in awkward silence, "Well umm thanks for saving me and stuff but I gotta get going now... see ya." he said turning to leave.
"Wait!" I said, the pony turned around and looked at me curiously.
"What is it?" he asked.
I rubbed my head sheepishly, "Umm... where are you going to?"
"Oh umm I'm not sure telling a weird creature where you’re going is safe... but since you saved me I guess it wouldn't do any harm to tell you," He replied. That kinda felt insulting. I wonder how Discord feels whenever someone says things like that to him. "I'm going to Ponyville to take care of some unfinished business."
My eyes grew wide, "Ponyville?" I asked the stallion nodded, oh my god somebody loves me up there. This is great! Maybe if I could convince this pony he could take me to Ponyville, Then I could find Canterlot from there and start looking for Discord! I coughed, "Say... would it be okay if I came with you?"
His eyes grew big, "What? why!?" he asked.
I rubbed my head, "Well lets say I have some business there too." I replied.
He started to back away, "Umm I don't feel too comfortable with that if thats ok with you... sorry." he retorted.
I lowered my head in defeat but then I got an idea, I smiled then I turned around, "Okay well that's fine I understand. You don't want to be with the guy who saved your life, well good luck to you in getting to Ponyville alive." I said walking away.
"Wait what do you mean?" He asked.
I grinned not turning to face him, "Well since that changeling got away surely their Queen will be furious, surely she’ll come after you, her changelings will be out for your head. But what do I know? Well, see ya around." I replied, walking away.
Three… Two… One…
"Wait!" He yelled.
Gotch'a. I turned to face him, "Yeeeessss." I said sweetly, with my best 'innocent' face. He came up to me with a sigh.
"Okay you can come with me to Ponyville but can you promise to not do anything to attract attention to yourself and protect me if there's trouble? Deal?." He said sticking out his hoof.
I smiled and took the hoof, "Deal," I said and we shook on it. We started walking to who knows where. I looked at him, "So what's your name?" I asked.
He seemed to have been thinking about it before replying, "Star Shield."
"Well shield I think this may be the start of a beautiful friendship." I said, happy to have someone guiding me to where I need to go.
He looked at me annoyed, "We’re not friends." he retorted.
"Okay... Partners." I replied back. He shook his head and we kept walking.
Little did we know, we both may end up very well becoming friends. Or dead. Dead is definitely a possibility.
