Chapter 3: Question and plans

Vader stood with a strange creature smiling in his ‘face’, Luna was annoyed by this creature’s presence but Vader was infuriated by it.
It took a special kind of being to anger him with a sentence.


“How do you know where I`m from?” he asked, he voice not showing his anger, better get answer before killing the thing.

“Ow I know so much more Ana-” the creature never finished the sentence with Vader hand moving to a firm grip on his neck, throttling its windpipe.

“I am Vader! Not him! Now I will ask again, how do you know?” he voice booming at the creature which seem to cower.

In a bright flash the creature disappeared and reappeared on Vader`s shoulder, a mere foot tall.

“Well, before I tell you anything I have to see when you’re from in your respective timeline, so just try not to kill me when I ask you some questions, Ok?”

Vader grabbed him with his free hand “No”

Vader was about to crush the pint-size miss-mash creature, when Luna stopped him and said “Not kill Discord, he just resurrects as an even bigger headache” she said “His question aren`t that bad, only a slight annoyance” she added.

But telepathically added to that ‘Not answer them and he`ll annoy you more’

‘Discord’ looked up at him with large red and yellow eyes, looking sympathetic, Vader released his grip.

Vader was going to dislike this creature, he knew it, at least Jar Jar did the occasional helpful thing in the clone wars, this creature as fare was just an immortal annoyance.

“Ooh no! you did not compare me to Jar Jar Binks!” stated the creature latching onto his helmet with his eyes looking through Vader`s lenses.

Luna looked surprised, slightly “Who?”

Discord looked at the midnight alicorn “Right, putting make Star Wars available in Equestria on my to-do list!”

Vader tried to grab the small creature which jumped off just before Vader got to him. ‘Yes an annoyance’ Vader though as he stood up to his full height.

Discord returned to his full size, in a flash of pink smoke which he proceeded to eat “Hhmm peanut butter and jelly” he said with in delight.

“Discord, your question?” said Luna elbowing the creature, he looked down at her for a moment, a face of ‘oowww’ formed on his face

He flew around Vader`s head “Oh yeah, question, I can only tell you what you want to know if you answer my question. It so the whole universe doesn`t turn into a massive mess of hhmm- he paused for a moment- stuff” he said unsure how to explain it to the dark lord.

Before Vader could speak Discord started to talk again.

“Question numeral Uno! Met yah kidssss yet?” he asked face smiling into the mask.

“Yes, I have met my children” replied Vader with an annoyed tone. Luna was about to ask a question when Discord started yammering again

“How many Death Star`s blow up by the rebels?”

“2” replied Vader

Discord stood up in confusion scratching his head

“That doesn`t make sense, you died a few minute before the second Death Star blew up? How`s that possible?” he asked himself

He gasped suddenly, turning to Luna he pointed “Necromancer!” he shouted before running out the room

Vader turned to Luna, “What was that?”

“That was Discord spirit of chaos and disharmony, he was reformed not long ago, he lives in the castle. My sister keeps him for reasons not disclosed to me” she informed him

Vader looked at the door, Discord`s head appeared in his vision “One final question, can you drink through straws?”

Vader roared in rage, grabbing the chaotic being by the face and launching him into the far side of the library. He splatted.

Vader contempt with his throw, began to walk off. Luna follow “Where are you going?”
“I have work to do, in need to practice my saber ski- Vader answer was cut off by him sensing a presence.

“I sense a something, something is watching us” he said in a low voice, Luna looked at him questionably.

“How so, the royal wing is shelled from the public a pony can only enter with either me or my sister or one of the other princesses”

Vader scanned the room, the force does not lie, he was tort that as his first lesson. So this presence was there and he would use it to his advantage, this world was not familiar to the force and so did not know it power.

Attacking with a psychic blast, only felt by that presence, something yield in pain. It wasn`t Discord. Unfortunate, Vader did hope it was him, he`d made it extra powerful just in case it was him.

No this cry of pain came from behind Luna, a flash of green light and something landed on the floor.

Vader helmet reflected the flash so Luna could see it. Turning Luna sore the only creature that could possible get passes the barrier without Discord`s power, a changeling.

“A changeling?! How`d it get in here?” asked Luna

Vader walked passed her grabbing the creature that was half unconscious, “It was probably here when you made the barrier. And was trapped as a result”

The changeling drone opened it eyes to meet Vader`s cold dead lenses. “What do you want to know your highness?” asked Vader to the princess

“The location of Queen Chrysalis” she stated

Vader grabbed the creature’s neck, it struggled against his arm “Tell me the location of Queen Chrysalis! NOW!” He boomed

“Never” it sputtered, snarling at Vader, it fangs reflecting of the helmet in a distorted reflection

Vader reply was cold and to the point “If you will not tell by your own free will, I will make you tell, that blast was minuet to the torcher my mental probe will be!” he said bring it close he breath becoming loud “Now tell me where is Chrysalis!”

“Close” it said before going limp and dying in Vader`s hands.

Luna looked at him “You didn`t have to kill it! It could have told us where the Chrysalis was!” she shouted at Vader

He dropped the body, and turned to face Luna “It did, close, not to us, I have seen this tactic, make the enemy fear your nearby, but really she has seen what has transpired because the messenger was in contact with the tactician” he crossed his arms “It a crew way of creating fear in your opponent”

Luna looked at him for a moment “So Chrysalis placed a bug in the castle? Waiting for us to find it?” Luna nodded in understanding “A spell of that kind can`t be that long range. The furthest she could be would be the other side of Everfree?”

Luna knew that kind of spell, but remembering the details was difficult, it had been a thousand years since she`d used it.

Vader nodded “I am unsure of the location but if that was her plan, her next step would be destroy the largest threat to herself or plan”

“The elements!” it dawn on Luna.

Chrysalis plan was already in motion, and Ponyville was the eye of the storm!
