//------------------------------// // Understand the power of chaos // Story: Disaster // by Super-Stallion //------------------------------// Night arrived and me and my new partner Star shield were sitting by a dirt road we managed to find earlier today, he said if we followed it for a while it should lead us to a town. That was three hours ago and still no town. He said it could take awhile before we could make it to town...he thinks... which doesn't sit well for me. "Hey Star, are you sure there's a town at the end of this so called road?" I asked laying on the grass to the side of the road looking at Shield laying a few feet away. "Of course I'm sure I wouldn't be going down this way if I wasn't," Star retorted. "Okay if you're so sure." I said when another thought came to me. "Hey why were those Changelings chasing you anyway?" I asked. He went silent for a minute before replying. "Umm you know what they usually want...they kidnap ponies to steal their love and those guys wanted mine." He replied, a bit nervous by the sound of his voice. "Wait, love?" I asked and I watched as he nodded and then I rolled onto my belly to look at him better and smirked. "So then that means you like somepony?" Then he turned to me with an annoyed scowl. "Drop it now, cause I'm not saying nothing." he said grumpily. "Oh come on spill it." "No." "Do it!" "NO!!" "Do it ya wimp!" "Look if you think I'm gonna-" he paused when he saw me start to make a puppy dog face. Star rolled onto his other side away from me and sighed, "Fine I'll tell you...I met her at Canterlot castle a year ago she was a beautiful mare with a mane of gold and a coat of yellow with a pen and a piece of paper for a Cutie mark," He said with passion and love. "Sooo she's a writer?" I asked by the description of the Cutie mark. Star nodded. "Yes she's a writer but her main job is writing notes in meetings with Princess Celestia herself, to copy down for historical records." He replied. That just made me even more curious. "Wait your girl works for Celestia?" "Yes she works for Celestia in Canterlot, she lives in Ponyville and has to go back and forth between places. Which, I could never understand why she would deal with something that sounds so stressful." He explained shaking his head. "So what's her name?" I asked and then he turns back at me. "Golden ink," He chuckled, "All though I prefer to call her Goldy plot because you know she has this bad habit of leaving dirty ink plots on the page and she has..." He stopped and blushed at what he almost said about his girl. "...Umm you know what, lets stop there and stop talking about her." I laughed at his embarrassment, "Ha okay well she sounds like a nice gal." I complimented. Star nodded, "Yeah she sure is, hey do you have a girl?" he asked with a raised brow. My expression saddened and I looked away from him, "Once." I said in a sad mournful way. "Oh uhh sorry." he replied turning away catching my drift, "Well I guess we should go to bed huh?” "Yeah I guess... Goodnight Star shield." I said "Goodnight Lizard." He said before we went to sleep ***** In my dreams I could see nothing but endless darkness everywhere I turned darkness, I kept looking and walking around in this darkness until suddenly there was a flash of light and I shielded my eyes when the light disappeared I looked to see Discord in its place. "Hey aren't you supposed to be stoned?" I asked while he simply chuckled. "Ha, ha yes I am a statue right now but if you haven't noticed you’re a draconequus like me now." he retorted. I raised a brow, "Uhh yeah thanks for that by the way, but that doesn't explain you being here. How are you here?" I retorted back as he shook his head. "No you don't understand, the energy I used to make you what you are now is the same energy that flows through my veins," he explained pointing to himself, "In other words kid now that you carry the power of chaos with you I have access to your little head even if I'm a rock." "Okay, I guess that makes sense," I reply nodding and then look at him with a different question, "Speaking of chaos why is it that I couldn't use it when I needed to kick those changelings asses earlier today!?" I asked "Hmm maybe you weren't using your imagination." He said, leaning in closer to my personal space. "What does that have to do with anything?" Discord sighed, "Alright I guess I'm going to have to explain this through, listen closely because I'll only say this once, got it?" He said and I nodded. "Okay. You see, chaos is an unpredictable force of destruction, no one knows its true potential not even me, but it is controllable. Well, for the most part, it can only be controlled through ones imagination and emotions." he explained like he was a certified teacher, "If one combines Imagination with emotion you can use the power of chaos." "But what kind of Imagination and emotions can I use?" I retorted raising my brow. "With Imagination anything is possible if you can just think it up," He said raising his hands up together and then spreading them out into a rainbow. "As for emotion, you can use any one Happiness, Anger, Sorrow there are so many emotions you can use!" He then put his hand over my heart and smirked, "And by the feelings in your heart I can feel many emotions." He said sinisterly as I started to back away. "Look just show me how to use my power okay!" I demanded. Discord rolled his eyes and put out his hand and over it appeared a small pink cloud, "See my Cotton candy clouds what do you think emotions are in here?" I put a finger to my chin, "Hmm I would think Happiness right?" I answered. he scoffed, "Sure if you want to go with that but watch what happens once I fill it with Sorrow." he said then I watched as he put his other hand over the cloud and it started to glow but nothing happened but then he looks at me, "Taste it." I hesitantly take a piece of the cloud and put it in my mouth, "Bleh it tastes sour!" Discord laughs, "Yes but watch now when I switch Sorrow with Hate." he said and again he put his hand over the cloud and it started to glow but this time the cloud started to change shape and shift, I gasped when it grew a pair of eyes and started to growl. I tried to poke it but as soon as I did the little cloud tried to bite me with its sharp fangs and Discord laughed again. "Ha remember my young friend, every Imagination every Emotion will give you something new....and something chaotic." he said as he lifted his hand to my forehead and flicked my head causing me to fly back into darkness. **** I woke up the next morning and looked around for Star shield who was nowhere in sight, "Oh man I cant believe that son of a bitch left me!" I yelled in heated anger. "Hey!" Called the familiar voice and I look behind me to see Star standing over me, "Don't go getting mad at something that isn't true!" Star retorted. I rubbed the back of my head, "Heh, heh oops." Star shook his head, "Come on I got some info from a traveling wagon that came by earlier while you were asleep they said there's a bar somewhere nearby that could give us detail on where to go to get to Ponyville." "Wait a wagon? Why didn't you ask for a ride?" I asked disappointed that we still had to walk more. Star looked back at me angry, "The ponies on the cart saw you and said they didn't want to be near somepony who looks like something that crawled out of tartus." he retorted. "Ouch." Was all I said. Star shield raised a brow, "Yeah, hey remember when you said to those changelings about your power of chaos? Can you even do it?" he asked I looked at my hand and strained my eyes, "Only one way to find out?" I took a deep breath I started to focus my Imagination on a Cotton candy cloud like Discord made and then reaching into my heart I used my happy thoughts and focused, I could feel energy pulsing through my body to my arm and then to my hand and feel it coming out into something, I open my eyes and looked down to see a small candy cloud. Star got closer and looked at the cloud, "Well I guess you can control chaos huh?" I smiled, "Yeah I guess I can," I replied and then I stopped the flow of magic through my hand making the cloud disappear and I look at Star, "Lets go!" Star nodded and we started to walk to our destination and as we were walking I only thought one thing, what kinda emotion does Discord feel when he uses his chaos?
