//------------------------------// // Discord falls // Story: Discord falls // by Gabrielangel13 //------------------------------// My name was Magic Pull. I have always been special, which is why you are hearing this story. I know I start in pat tense and switch to present, or is it future? I cannot tell anymore, the dead don't usually care. I died today, or yesterday, I do not know how time travels here. I killed Discord. Me! A unicorn with only one special magical trick. The only one who would give up all. I gave you the peaceful land you have today; or is it peaceful? At least you do not have Discord anymore. I met him one here, but I cannot tell you the details, or you will never receive this. Please, remember me. This is the story of how I died. The once beautiful land of Equestria is now ravaged by the Lord of Chaos himself, Discord. This time, the Tree of Harmony is not reachable, and even the magic of Friendship has failed. The Princess all hide, except Twilight, because their bodies have been switched around and their magic taken. Twilight leads a group of rebels against Discord, but anypony could tell that Discord is only playing with these ponies. This whole thing is some sort of twisted game to him, but I am not just a piece of it, I am its end. I am willing, and able, to do what nopony else is willing to. Up to this point, Discord has spared us of casualties, why kill when you can have more fun changing their physical shape? I will cause the first casualty in this war against Chaos. Of course I shared my plan with the Rebel council, the old bearers of Harmony, but they merely laughed at me. "No pony can do that." they had scoffed. "I can." I said, showing them my cutie mark. It was a unicorn horn with a cone of yellow extending from it. They still laughed. "What will you do, shine a light in his eyes?" Dash had mocked. Even Fluttershy lacked faith in me. "You are not to even speak of this again. Even if you could manage, he wouldn't be the only one to die. I don't want any deaths at all." Twilight tried to command me just because she was a princess. I could only laugh. I know that they are wrong. I have studied Discord this whole game, and magic is the only way. My way is the only way. I do not have to listen to the council, I will save all of Equestria. Discord sat on his accursed throne in the middle of Ponyville. He didn't even bother to give me, an ordinary unicorn, a second glance. I cursed at the chaos around me, wishing for the playfulness of the last two times he ruled. He had developed a love for torture now, and Ponyville was constantly burning and full of debris from buildings he had destroyed. Torture was only fun if the victim was alive, so he would not allow us to die. Even suicide attempts failed.No, a being with this much power had no need to worry about a gray unicorn with deep red hair. I was glad I was about to end it all. Even if I failed I would die, Discord couldn't stop his magic from killing me. "Discord!" I call, successfully getting his attention. "Enough is enough! Get out, and take your tyranny with you!" The lord of chaos merely laughs at me. "You're worse than Twilight! I'll enjoy turning you inside out" His grin turns evil and he lights his hand is his magical glow. I return his grin, and light my own horn. Discord's confidence clearly fades as my spell begins to work. "What are you doing?! STOP!" He howls, bringing out ponies from the nearby rubble. "Discord, Lord of Chaos, I gave you the chance to leave peacefully, but you left me with no choice. I hereby strip you of your magic, you shall never harm another pony." I call. "Twilight won't let you! The princess are too kind. You'll feel their wrath!" Discord shouts, trying to sound tough as my spell renders him helpless. "I do not fear them!" I call back, but only a few knew why I no longer fear anypony. "Who are you?" The Lord of Chaos demands as agony begins to make him writhe. I smile, knowing that this is the first time Discord felt fear. "I am Magic Pull, Special talent: pulling out all of a creature's magic." I call back, well aware what I have given to Discord. "I have more magic than you can contain, foal! release your spell, and I'll leave peacefully." Discord tries to bargain. I'm well aware of the council beside me now, and I scream as wings rip through my back. I've absorbed enough energy to become an Alicorn! I realize. "Stop, Magic." Twilight pleads. I look at her face as my eyes turn white. "Listen to her!" Discord begs as he doubles over in pain. "You are bargaining with a dead stallion." I reply, as I feel the magic burn out the rest of my life force. As soon as I end the spell, I will die, but I haven't even reached his life force yet! Twilight gasps and steps back from me. "The ultimate price." she mutters. I smile as I reach the twisted creatures life force, and he struggles for only a few moments more before I take even that from him. My spell is done, and I feel myself die. I focus all of Discord's power to my horn and guide it with one thought. Harmony. A flash of light emits from around me, and my body falls to the ground. Discord is dead, and his spells reversed. But the price was the life of Magic Pull, who is being buried in the Royal Graveyard.
