//------------------------------// // [FIXED] Episode 10: Chaos Against Insanity, Who Will Win? // Story: The Life of a Wanted Changeling Season 2: Debt to a Doctor (Comment Driven Story) // by Down with Chrysalis //------------------------------// Theme: No more games, no more fancy moves, NO MORE YELLING OUT YOUR ATTACKS! JUST KILL HIM, AND SCREW THE ELEMENTS' PLAN! You and Discord collide together head-on resulting in a shockwave that knocks you both back. You flip and land on your hooves while Discord just floats back while saying, "Ouch, that actually hurt, H.O are you trying to hurt me?!" You just growl in anger as your three tails swish behind you in anger, your now sharpened fangs sticking out of your mouth as you think, That's it! No more games, no more fancy moves, AND NO MORE YELLING OUT MY ATTACKS! I'M GONNA END HIM RIGHT HERE AND NOW! THE MARES' PLAN CAN ROT IN TARTARUS FOR ALL I CARE! With that angry thought in mind, your horns sprout outta your head as you continue to growl in anger. Discord just huffs and says, "Fine, be that way. Gimme all you got!" And with that you just continue to growl as this starts to play in the background before... You throw a punch. "The circus is leaving town!" Discord swings a crowbar. "Still one more show!" You collide in a spectacular explosion that knocks you both back. Discord grins. "Hoo HOO! I like this side of you!" "You shouldn't." Your three tails wrap around his arms and one of his legs, and you slam him to the ground. "This form let me beat Celestia!" You slam him again. "What chance do you have?" "I beat Celestia too, you know." He chuckles. "You missed one, H.O." Discord kicks out his goat leg and it detaches, flying into your face. It knocks you back and then pummels you to the ground. You bring back your tails to shield yourself. Discord teleports over and puts his leg back on. "It's safe to say I have a leg up on the situation." You groan. "That was horrible, even for you." You fool! What happend to your scary voice?! You're holding back! I won't let you win! WHAT?! You nearly killed my friends at the Gala! I won't let that happen again! I can control you! But you can't control HIM! Discord waves. "Hellooooo? I swear, I'm standing right here, and you don't even notice. Maybe this will get your attention!" He snaps his fingers. "What... what did you--" A chocolate fountain erupts under you, blowing you sky-high. Can we please get serious now? You and Discord charge straight at each other again. You throw a punch and proclaim in a distorted, cold-hearted, legion-like voice that sounds like a mix of your voice and the DVF, "The circus is leaving town!" While Discord snaps in and swings a crowbar while proclaiming, "Still one more show!" Your hoof and his crowbar collide, resulting in a spectacular explosion that knocks you both back. Discord grins as he spins in midair and says, "Hoo HOO! I like this side of you!" "You shouldn't." You reply as your three tails lash out and wrap around his arms and one of his legs before slamming him into the ground. "This form let me beat Celestia!" *WHAM* You slam him again. "What chance do you have?" "I beat Celestia too, you know." He chuckles, "By the way, you missed a spot..." Discord kicks out his goat leg which detaches and flies straight into your face, knocking you onto your back. Before you can get back up, the leg starts stomping on your face repeatedly before you knock it away with one of your tails. Discord teleports over and catches the leg before screwing it back on and commenting, "It's safe to say I have a leg up on the situation." You groan and say in your normal voice, "That was horrible, even for you." You fool! What happened to our synchronized voice?! You're holding back! I'm not letting you out! WHAT?! You nearly killed my friends at the Gala! There's no way I'm letting that happen again. I can control you! But you can't control HIM! While this internal argument is going on, Discord gets right in front of you, waves a claw in your face, and says, "Hellooooo? Anypony home? I swear, I'm standing right here, and you don't even notice! Maybe this will get your attention!" He snaps his fingers causing a chocolate fountain to erupt under you, blowing you into a taco cart which explodes and sends tacos flying in every direction. Discord nonchalantly catches one and throws it into his mouth before saying (with his mouth full), *crunch*"Con we pwease get sewious mow?"*gulp* You growl in anger as you shake sour cream and brown tofu off you and you hear the DFV say in your mind, See! You can't do this on your own, you can't beat him! You need your only friend just to even think about beating this babbling fool! You snort in anger and think back to her, Shut up! I don't need you to fight this lunatic! With that you proceeded to... Use Meteor Impact, but Discord transforms into Babe Ruth and literally knocks you around the world before catching you in an oversized catcher's mitt. He then transforms into Dan Marino and proclaims, "TOUCHDOWN!" and spikes you into the ground like a football. Raise your tails into the air and slam them into the ground with earth-shaking force launching you high into the air. When you reach the height of your ascent, you cast a midnight-colored forcefield around yourself and fall back down to Earth towards Discord calling out, "METEOR IMPACT!" However, you didn't notice Discord suddenly wearing a baseball uniform and cap and holding a giant rubber chicken like a bat as he says in a newsreel announcer voice, "It's the middle of the 10th and The Spirit of Swat is up to chicken. H.O. makes the pitch, The Discordino swings and..." *CRACK* Discord's rubber chicken sends you flying away at high speed. You swore you were going around the world when suddenly you feel yourself slam into a leathery surface. After shaking your head, you noticed that you're in a giant catcher's mitt before Discord changes into a hoofball uniform and helmet and says (still in the announcer voice), "And Big Papa Discord does it again!" With a cry of "TOUCHDOWN!", Discord spikes you head-first into the ground. You growl in anger as you get up from the you-sized crater as, unnoticed by you, a fourth fox tail begins to grow and your Nightmare Cloak becomes even more unstable! Discord doesn't seem to notice as well as he starts to do an obnoxious hoofball victory dance... With a beach ball. You let out a roar of anger as you... Your Kung Fu and Video Game Moves don't work. It's time to unleash the Nightmare Power within you. Let your Anger fuel your strength. The DFV seems to be your second set of eyes as your tails counter off any surprise attacks that he throws after teleporting without you even knowing about them. Discord then starts punching at you incredible fast while saying "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!!" over and over again. And you can must rapidly block. He also gives his own FUS RO DAH and knocks you off your feet You: THAT'S MY MOVE!!! Discord: I didn't see your name on it! Right before Discord and Bugze reach each other, one of his fox tails pulls out a stink bomb and detonates it in Discord's face. As Discord reels back, Bugze punches Discord in the jaw causing it to spin around his head a few times until Discord catches it and puts it back in place. Discord responds "Well, that was naughty." Bugze runs around firing stun spells that hit Discord causing to take a step back with each hit until he has enough and yells "ENOUGH!!" I am a GOD! I will not be bullied by a pathe-" Bugze's tails grab Discord's and starts slamming back and forth into the ground like Hulk from the Avengers. Charge at Discord, but he then stops his dance and starts punching at you incredible fast while saying, "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" over and over again. Fortunately, the DFV seems to be your second set of eyes as your tails move on their own initiative and manage to block every single one of Discord's punch flurry. Seeing that his machine gun-punching isn't working, he teleports behind you, FUS RO DAH! And sends you smashing through an upside down house. You quickly get back up and shake off the rubble as you yell, "HEY! THAT'S MY MOVE!!!" Discord responds. "I didn't see your name on it-! *shatter*" While Discord was taunting you, one of your tails pulled out one of your stink/smoke bombs and threw it at Discord's feet. As Discord reels back in surprise you suddenly fly out of the smoke and punch him in the jaw, causing his head to spin until Discord catches it and responds, "Well, that was naugh-*zap*" Discord reels back as a stun spell zaps him in the face followed by another and another and another... While Discord's head was spinning, you charged up your horn and started to rapid-fire stun spells at the chaos spirit, forcing him to take a step back with every hit. MEANWHILE IN A BUSH NEARBY "Come on Offender! Show that mixed up freak who's boss!" Lyra (who's shouting behind a nearby bush) screams while a worried looking Bon Bon tries to pull her to safety. "Come on Lyra we need to get outta here, it's not safe!" Lyra sends Bon Bon a backwards glance before saying, "And miss out on the Hooded Offender fighting the embodiment of chaos? No way Bonny!" Bon Bon stops trying to pull her back as she too gets absorbed in the fight. BACK AT THE FIGHT Eventually, Discord has enough of it and yells, "ENOUGH!" causing a brick wall to appear in front of him and block your spells as he continues, "I am a GOD you amateur! And I will not be teased by-ack!" Your tails suddenly lash around the wall and grab Discord before pulling him through the wall so he's in front of you and then you proceed to start smashing him on the ground around youbefore throwing him into a cabbage cart ("MY BACKUP CABBAGES!" somepony yells). After throwing Discord away, you finally notice your new fourth tail, "Huh. That's new- *splat*" Suddenly a bunch of watermelons rain on you as Discord says, "Oh my me, it's raining watermallons!" You knock the watermelons away from you with your tails and growl in anger at Discord's joke. You're about to attack him again when the DFV screams, THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS FOOL! I'M TAKING OVER! You feel your control of your body slipping as you struggle and think, No! I won't... let.., you... take...control... It's too late as you hear the DFV say with your mouth... "Assuming direct control." Discord stops laughing and looks confused at what 'you' said, but then he just shrugs before continuing to laugh. As soon as she takes control, a fifth fox tail begins to grow. Now that you're not in control of your own body, you notice this and think That... that can't be good... Finished with that thought, all you can do is helplessly watch as the DFV... Finally you have enough. Your tails unleash a dark mist that completely encompasses you and Discord for a brief moment, to which he can't even escape. Discord: What in the world is this? You: Welcome to my Nightmare (you say in your evil legion voice) Silent Hill level horrors come out of the wood work and start attacking Discord, he still has his base powers but can't teleport out so he attacks back You: Inside this room, all of my dreams become realities, and some of my realities become dreams (yes, you somehow made that sound scary) Discord: Oh lord, is that how I sound to others? While he's overwhelmed wrap a tail around his throat You: COME HERE! Use this time wisely and unleash an ULTRA COMBO onto all parts of his body, especially onto his family jewels He doubles over in pain as the mist dissipates and his voice is a few octaves too high. Discord: Why! You: Hey, you hurt my children, I hurt yours, potential or otherwise. You then proceed to keep fighting eachother to a stalemate. Unleashes a dark mist that completely encompasses you and Discord who asks, "What in the name of chaos is this?" "Welcome to My Domain..." Horrors then start popping out of the woodwork and start attacking Discord. While he can't teleport out, he still has his basic abilities so he fights back and effortlessly destroys the horrors coming at him as DFV says, "Inside this room, all of my dreams become realities, and all of my realities become dreams." "Oh lord, is that how I sound to others, and who are you? You sound nothing like H.O. Did he switch out on our fight-woah!" Suddenly a group of monstrosities pop out of the ground around Discord and pounce on him. While he's temporarily overwhelmed, DFV lashes out and wraps a tail around his throat. "COME HERE PEASANT!" she yells as she yanks Discord towards him before proclaiming, "Psycho Break Crusher!" "This again? Maybe third times the-*WHAM*" The DFV leaps forward and spin-smashes into Discord's family jewels as the momentum of the attack carries both DFV and Discord out of the mist and through several buildings (also, you suddenly can't hear anything). Discord doubles over in pain on the ground as the mist dissipates he painfully says (his voice a few octaves too high), "Why?!" "You foolishly tried to hurt my friend and our daughter. So it's only fair if I, oh I don't know, ruin any chances of you having them " Discord struggles to get back up as he says, "Now I know you ain't H.O, you sound way too much like Lulu." "I AM NOTHING LIKE THAT WEAK EXCUSES FOR A MOON EMBODIMENT, I AM A TRUE NIGHTMARE! A TRUE TERROR OF THE NIGHT, WHILE SHE WAS JUST A WEAK-HEARTED FOOL! SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THE TITLE NIGHTM-" The DFV suddenly stops talking as she realized she let something slip, but it's too late as Discord looks confused before he smiles and says, "Ahhhh, I see. H.O why didn't you tell me you had such a nightmarish skullmate who is way too dark for my tastes." He suddenly has some goth clothing on when he says this. DFV then charges at Discord proclaiming, "SILENCE FOOL! I AM A TRUE GODDESS AND THOU ART BUT-" When the DFV takes control, Discord's attitude changes from "trolling buddy" to "disappointed seriousness" and proceeds to nonchalantly smack away DFV's attacks (not even bothering with warping reality for DFV) while saying how much Nightmare Moon sucks as a villain, "Boo hoo! Everypony likes my sister's gas more than my space pebble. I know, I'll go cover Equestria in eternal cold and darkness so everypony will starve and freeze to death. Sweet chaos, I was never that petty..." Discord then boredly asks, "You're boring. Can H.O. come out and play now?" But the DFV responds, "NEVER! I'M IN CONTROL NOW AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR TOY AGAIN!" This causes Discord to get angry and say. "Give. Him. BACK!" And proceeds to start devastating DFV. *SMACK* Discord nonchalantly slaps DFV away with the back of his hand, sending her into a billboard as he begins to taunt, "Boo hoo! Everypony likes my sister's gas more than my pebble." DFV gives an enraged scream and charges at Discord again, but once again Discord nonchalantly backhands her away with his other hand sending her crashing into a big slot machine that hits jackpot and starts to shower anvils onto her. "I know, I'll go cover Equestria in eternal cold and darkness so everypony will starve and freeze to death." DFV furiously screams, "SILENCE!" and launches herself at Discord's back with her tails, but he slaps her away with his tail sending her smashing through several buildings while continuing to taunt (not even breaking stride), "Sweet chaos, I was never that petty..." DFV prepares to charge Discord again, but she realizes she can't move and looks down to see her hooves stuck in quicksand. Discord then pops up in front of her, arms crossed, and says, "You're boring. Can H.O. come out and play now?" But the DFV responds in defiance, "NEVER! I'M IN CONTROL NOW AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR 'BUDDY' AGAIN! BESIDES, THE ONLY 'BUDDY' HE'LL EVER HAVE IS ME!" DFV lashes out with her five tails and grabs a floating upside down house before smashing it onto Discord and saying, "IF I CAN'T BREAK YOU. I'LL JUST BREAK YOUR TOYS!!!" She then lashes out with 3 of her tails and grabs a terrified trio of Earth Pony mares with flower Cutie Marks and grabs a pair of giant boulders and prepares to smash the terrified mares with them. NO! you mentally scream as the mares scream and DFV smashes the boulders together. *CRACK* Suddenly Discord appears in front of the mares with a seriously angry look on his face, having held both of his arms out and reduced both boulders to pebbles when they impacted with his claws. With a snap of his fingers, he teleports the mares safely onto a cotton candy cloud before proceeding to grab DFV tightly by the throat and say in a deadly serious tone, "No one messes with my toys but ME!!!" Discord then lifts DFV by the throat and violently chokeslams her into the ground before proceeding to wail on her face while screaming, "GIVE! *PUNCH* ME! *PUNCH* MY! *PUNCH* BUDDY! *PUNCH* BACK! *PUNCH* YOU! *PUNCH*PATHETIC! *PUNCH* PSYCHO! *PUNCH*!" You couldn't hear what Discord said because you still can't hear for some reason, but all you know now is that the DFV is getting dominated by Discord, so you decide to get some well deserved teasing in... Having fun yet? Shut up! We're not supposed to win this! We're just buying time! For whatever reason, he likes me. I'm stepping in again. No! You're weak! You're pathetic! And you're insane! I hate you so much! Awww, I thought I was your friend? Excuse me, do you two need a moment to kiss and make up? What? Who dares?! Hm. Who do you know that can bend reality to his will? You zoned out on me again, and I just thought I would listen in. I do offer relationship counseling on Thursdays if you two are interested. Lover's quarrels are my specialty! You cur! Your soul shall burn for that! Wow. Is that how Rainbow Dash and Applejack feel when I talk about them? I'm a jerk, huh? Having fun yet? Not now! We're not even supposed to win this genius! We're just buying time! Now, he likes me for some reason so I think it'd be best if I step in- No! You're weak! You're pathetic! And you're crazy! I hate you so much! Awww, I thought I was your friend? Excuse me, do you two need a moment to kiss and make up? Discord's voice suddenly chimes in. What? Who dares?! Who else do you know that can bend reality to his will? Discord's voice chimes in again. You zoned out on me again and I just thought I would listen in. I do offer relationship counseling on Thursdays if you two are interested. Lover's quarrels are my specialty! You cur! Your soul shall burn for that! Wow. Is that how Rainbow Dash and Applejack feel when I talk about them? I'm a jerk, huh? "Eyup." Discord says as he picks up DFV by the throat and throws her into a wall, knocking it over. He then says, "Alright. Now give my buddy his body back," Suddenly a pair of nasty-looking knives appears in his hands as he continues in a now deadly serious tone, "Or I'm going to get upset..." You heard him. Can I have my body back now? You hear the DFV growl in anger before mentally saying, Fine! But I'll always be with you, so don't even think you can stop me from having you as my eternal friend... As you feel your body coming back to you, you roll your eyes and think, Whatever you say fruitcake, now if you need me, I have another lunatic to-Urk! You stop your comeback as you feel intense pain all over your body. You collapse onto the ground in pain as the Nightmare Cloak begins to evaporate. You can't help but say in a pained voice, "What... the..." You hear Discord laugh as he says, "Looks like I've finally tired you out H.O." He pops up in front of you and begins to reach out and say, "Now it's about time I make you my apprentice in the ways of chaos..." Too weak to even stand, you close your eyes and think in hopeful desperation, Come on mares hurry up and get here! I'm sorry I said your plan could rot in Tartarus! And lady luck, if you can hear me. Please, please, PLEASE let Nightshade be free from my accursed bad luck if this is my last moment of sanity... Before Discord could touch your head, you hear your saving grace... Nightshade ran off when the three tails came out, right? She returns leading the Mane 6 with the Elements. "DADDY!" "HOODY!!" Discord looks over and his eyes widen as you pop open your eyes and look over painfully to see Nightshade running towards you with the mares in tow behind her, both Nightshade and Fluttershy giving you worried looks and you can barley see the hint of worry in Twilight's eyes. The mares stop a few yards in front of Discord and Twilight declares, "All right, ladies, let's show him what friendship can do!" You smirk victoriously as you see the mares charging up a powerful attack, when... When the Mane 6 Return with the Elements of Harmony, you and Discord have kind of been neck and neck the whole time, which means both of you are breathing heavily. The girls start to charge up In a last ditch effort he teleports Night Shade Back into his arms before they fire. Night Shade: DADDY!!! You: NO!!! Discord: Drop the Elements Girls. If I get stoned, so does the little brat! Twilight: Put her down Discord! Discord: I don't think so, you see I'd rather not be turned into a statue again, and your elements can't distinguish between different evils YOU: SHE'S NOT EVIL!!! Discord: Oh please, what could be more Evil than the unholy spawn of a Changeling and the Darker Half of Luna's soul? DFV: KILL HIM!!!! You: Please! Girls! Don't Fire! The Mane 6 Power Down as they can't bring themselves to hurt a filly Discord Begins to laugh in triumph, until Night Shade brings out your can of WD-40 and sprays it in Discord's eye Discord: OW OW OW OW OW!!!! He drops Night Shade and she runs to your arms. You: That's my girl (you smile at her) The girls recharge and shot their Friendship Rainbow death weapon at Discord Discord: Oh you little...Uh-Oh! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (Stoned) You hear a snap of fingers and Nightshade screaming. "DADDY!!!" You look up in horror and see Nightshade struggling in Discord's arms. "Drop the Elements Girls. If I get stoned, so does the ravenous brat!" "Put her down Discord!" Twilight demands. "I don't think so, you see I'd rather not be taking another millennium-long rock nap, and your elements can't distinguish between different evils-" "SHE'S NOT EVIL!!!" you scream, still too weak to even get up. "Oh please, what could be more evil than the unholy spawn of a Changeling and the Darker Half-?" "LET ME GO!" KILL HIM!!! "Girls! Don't Fire! Please!" You scream. The Mane 6 reluctantly power down as they can't bring themselves to hurt a filly. Discord begins to laugh in triumph, but Nightshade suddenly whips out one of your cans of WD-40 and sprays it in Discord's eyes. "MY EYES!!! THEY BURN!!!" He grabs his eyes in pain which causes him to drop Nightshade and she runs to you before saying, "If it doesn't move and it should: WD-40." "That's my girl." You say with a smile. Discord rubs his eyes in pain before he snaps a fire extinguisher into existence and sprays Earl Grey tea directly into his face. He then snaps the extinguisher and tea away before saying, "Oh you little... Uh-Oh..." While Discord was distracted, the girls recharged their Friendship Rainbow death thingy and fired it at Discord. "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" He screams, but just before the rainbow beam hits him, you hear his voice in your head say, Fine! If can't be your friend then nopony will! Prepare to be the most hated pony in Equestria once again! Ooooohh trust me, when I come back you'll be begging to be my comrade-in-chaos for sure! Mwahahahaha! You barely see him get off one last snap of his fingers before he gets turned to... stone! Ignoring what he said for now, you think in fear, Yikes... Am I glad they never thought of using that on-wait... that could've been me back at the Gala! Fluttershy and Nightshade help you to your hooves. You smile and begin to celebrate the victory with them over Discord when Twilight says, "All right girls, one down. One to go." She and the rest of the deadly five then turn towards you. You don't notice this as you victoriously declared, "Yeah baby! We-wait-" Suddenly realizing what they said you, Nightshade, and Fluttershy turn to the mares and yell, "WHAT?!" MEANWHILE IN A NEARBY BUSH "Bon Bon, we gotta do something!" Lyra says as Bon Bon grabs Lyra's tail with her teeth before responding, "No Lyra! It's too dangerous now more then ever!" Lyra glares at Bon Bon and says, "And let the Offender get turned to stone like that mixed up freak? No way! If you won't help me then fine, but I can't stand here and let a hero get turned into a lawn ornament!" And with that Lyra breaks free of Bon Bon and runs off. Bon Bon looks around nervously before saying, "Oooo, I know I'm gonna regret this..." And with that she runs off as well. WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR SCHEDULED CHAPTER You stammer in fear as you say, "C-Come on ladies! Don't you remember me saving you at the gala or helping you against Discord?" Applejack gives you a hard glare as she says, "That ain't how we remember it. Varmint." The rest of the Deadly Five nod their heads in agreement. You remember what Discord said to you in your mind a few moments ago, and you can't help but scream out in anger the name a different entity for once... "DISSSSSSCOOOOOOORRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!" Outro: What do you do?
