-Equestria 2 days before Link’s arrival-
Deep within the gardens of Canterlot castle there laid statues that no sculptor would ever create…. Some are strange at best, while others look surprisingly normal... these statues are those whom have been imprisoned in stone by The Elements of Harmony. They are also some of the most dangerous creatures in all of Equestrian history, and are great threats to the peace that all ponykind has come to know. Very few ponies visited them and all hoped they would stay imprisoned forever…. But one of them, was starting to crack.
Discord stretched, knocking the few remaining pieces of stone off of him with a little yawn. He casually stretched out his giant lion’s paw and magically poofed up a calendar so that he could check the day and year.
“Well, well, well…” Discord mumbled to himself “seems those girls had me locked in stone for a few months, how naughty of them” he was smiling slightly now.
Discord then began to walk towards the garden’s entrance so as to stretch his two tired legs. Halfway to the entrance, well really it was about to be his exit. He spotted a strange floating ball of energy, this time fissure glowed with a pulsing white light and stayed there floating mere inches from him.
“Well now, this is different” said Discord thoroughly puzzled.
He then walked up to it and tentatively touched it with a single griffon claw, and vanished along with the time fissure itself. Hours later the Royal Guard would discover the issue of Discord no longer on his podium and would immediately report it to Princess’ Celestia and Luna, but since Discord had caused no trouble, a trait that was unusual when it came to him, they decided to keep the matter between themselves.
Through the mysterious fissure lay a hole in both space and time, and in this hole was a box… and a newly added god of chaos of course. The box was not just any box, it was a blue box. A blue police box to be exact, it looked as if it was fresh off the streets of old London. But this was not an old London era Police box, this was a T.A.R.D.I.S, a Time And Relative Dimension In Space, and it was being driven by a man known to many as “The Doctor”. Inside the T.A.R.D.I.S many lights began to blink and flicker in random patterns causing the Doctor to frown as he glanced at his readings and instruments.
“That’s not right,” the Doctor muttered as he kicked the T.A.R.D.I.S., “that’s not right at all!”
“What’s wrong Doctor?” questioned Derpy
“There’s something else in the Time Vortex,” the Doctor said, puzzled.
“What do you mean something else is there,” Derpy asked, thoroughly confused about what he was talking about.
The Doctor responded, “Well, you see the time vortex is what we travel in. It’s basically a combination of time and space energy. When we enter it we travel along a line of energy to a certain point. Sometimes minuscule amounts of other energies enter with us, but this energy is huge! It’s almost like a creature entered the vortex, but it wouldn’t survive without having the ability to control a certain energy.”
“Sure…” Derpy said still confused, “Let’s just pretend I know what you’re talking about.”
“It’s a hole from multiple points in time to another,” the Doctor said simply. “Well, I might as well contain the energy.”
“Doctor, why would you do that?” Derpy asked
“Because I believe it’s my job to keep the time vortex in good condition,” the Doctor explained.
The Doctor started pushing buttons, which looked random to everyone else, even Time Lords. While the Doctor was pushing buttons and pulling levers, the chaotic energy was being pulled towards the T.A.R.D.I.S., until it started resisting. The energy was so strong that it started shaking the T.A.R.D.I.S., until it knocked Derpy into the control panel.
“I’m sorry Doctor. I just don’t know what went wrong.” Derpy said sadly.
“It’s ok Derpy, nothing is broken.” The Doctor said while checking his controls. “The energy did escape somehow. It looks like it went to another dimension, strange.”
“How is that strange, don’t we do that all the time?” Derpy asked.
“We travel through time, not dimensions and it’s not easy in the real world. It used to be easy, when the Time Lords kept their eye on everything. You could pop between realities, and be home in time for tea.” The Doctor shuddered and continued, “Then they died and took it all with them. The walls of reality closed, the worlds were sealed, and everything became a bit less kind.”
“Oh, I didn’t know.” Derpy responded
The Doctor whispered to himself, “I didn’t have a choice. They would have destroyed everything.”
As he said this, a cloud begin to form in the T.A.R.D.I.S. and it started raining, but what came from it wasn’t water.
“Why is it raining in here?” The doctor tasted the rain and said, “Wait! This is chocolate milk! How can a cloud rain chocolate milk? Is that cloud made of cotton candy?”
“Oh wow! I’ve seen something like this about a year ago.” Derpy responded.
“Really?” The Doctor said as he used his sonic screwdriver to make the cloud disappear. “Oh well. That’s that.”
“So, Doctor.” Derpy asked, “Where are we going?”
“Oh, right!” The Doctor said happily. “We’re going to the fall of Equestria!”
“Wait! What?” Derpy yelled.
“Allons-y!” The Doctor yelled as the T.A.R.D.I.S. disappeared from the time vortex, vanishing into a different time period.
Hyrule
Approximately 2 weeks before the stories beginning
Discord stumbled to his feet after shooting from thin air and into a nearby sand dune.
“Well, that was different” Discord said as he brushed himself off looking around into the darkened desert he was in.
Suddenly there was the sound of a horse galloping towards him with a large plume of dust behind it.
“Oh great” Discord said frowning “Celestia’s already found me and sent in the Calvary” Discord chuckled “Calvary, get it!?” he said
(Far away in another dimension and world a poor writer face palmed at the bad pun he had just typed and wondering why he had)
Then the horse appeared.
“One?” Discord questioned “Celestia sent only ONE of her guards to capture me?!? Oh this is too funny!”
Then a deep menacing voice boomed from the darkness.
“Who are you who laugh in my desert? Are you a creature sent by the goddess’ to defy me and ruin my plans?” the voice questioned, dark and menacing.
“Oh?” Discord said as he stood “Now what would you have planned that would cause a Goddess to stand against you? Also who are you because you don’t look like a lackey of Celestia, or Luna’s for that matter?”
“I am Ganondorf, Lord of Darkness and King of the Gerudos, and I will soon rule this world!” the voice bellowed into the night “and this time, in this incarnation I shall be victorious and that foolish HERO shall not defeat me again!”
“Well that sounds like fun,” Discord said a smile beginning to form “I too know how it feels to have domination snatched from your grasp, perhaps I can help you succeed since I seem to be trapped in this new world.”
Now Discord was not really a bad person at heart all he truly wanted was a life of FUN but he had been hurt and mocked many times by Celestia, and now her student with her ‘friends’ so it is understandable that he would have some resentment. So he decided to help someone else and try his hand at some more serious evil, perhaps that strange glowing thing had been a sign, perhaps this was his destiny. Whatever the case Discord had committed himself, and Discord ALWAYS kept his promises and followed his commitments.
3 hours before the battle
Ganondorf was ready, he was prepared. He had rapidly made preparations with the strange creature he had met that night two weeks ago, and in that time the creature had shown him new ways to use magic and his forces. In that time, Ganondorf had something he could call a… friend? Yes ‘friend’ summed up what Discord had become to him, and now all their preparations were in place. Today, he would be victorious!
Discord had enchanted Ganondorf’s weapons, armor, and horse. They were ready. According to their spies, Link was riding hard to the castle and would arrive within the hour, then the dungeons and traps would weaken him and lower his supplies before the real fight would begin. Discord estimated that it would take Link close to two hours to arrive to where Ganondorf and his location. Then the real fun would begin.
15 minutes before the battle
Link’s PoV
Exit of the Dungeon
Link lowered his shield to protect himself as the Bomb exploded destroying the remains of the final Stalfos in his way. Then the Boss Chest appeared in front of him.
He walked forward and opened the chest retrieving the Boss Key within. He walked over to the final door and the lock fell to the floor with a loud thump leaving an imprint in the floor, behind the door lay a set of stairs.
Link sighed ‘more stairs, GREAT!’ he thought sarcastically.
His legs burned from adventuring through this dungeon. Navi had said they had been in here almost two hours now and Link was feeling it.
‘Hopefully I can catch Ganondorf taking a nap from boredom like I did last time, then I can end this quickly’ Link thought smiling slightly.
“C’mon Link, let’s go! Hyrule won’t save itself now will it?” Navi said as chipper as ever.
As Link arrived at the top he found Ganondorf very much awake.
‘Should have expected as much, it’s not like that lock came off quietly’ Link thought grimly.
“Ah Link, so we meet again!” Ganondorf said grinning evilly.
Link sighed and pulled out his prompt cards. “Yeah just like all the other times, dummy” read the card.
“Oh…. Well THIS TIME I SHALL WIN!” Ganondorf said triumphantly.
“Not if I stop you, again, like always...” read the next card.
“Oh shut up.” Ganondorf grumbled.
“I didn’t say a word -.-.” read the card.
“How come these are already written out?” Ganondorf asked puzzled.
“You say the same thing every time, same with Zelda and almost everyone else in this silly world….” Read the final card.
“Oh yeah…. You know I never really noticed before” Ganondorf mumbled “Well anyways let’s get this fight started.”
Link’s only response was to draw his sword and to bring out his shield.
“Yeah” said Navi “that’s the spirit Link, as long as we’re together we can beat ANYTHING!”
Then a bird swooped down from nowhere and put Navi in a jar, and it all went downhill from there.
