//------------------------------// // Harmony, Discord, and everything inbetween. // Story: PIE: Patapon In Equestria // by Runa //------------------------------// I got bored with the way I was writing it, so I'm going to skip forward a little. If enough of you want me to go back and flesh it out a little more, I will. But I want to get to the good stuff soon. A month since I came to this world. Luna has been able to circumvent Celestia to join us around the campfire occasionally, and has become quite popular in the Tribe. Celestia has become reclusive, and has recently begun wandering around the forest in hopes of finding something. I don't think even she knows what she's looking for. The Tribe has grown quite a bit. We have made permanent housing that looks like a cross between a longhouse and barracks. We even have a stage on which two performers, Odorupons named Dani and Kishi, preform whenever there is something to celebrate. I have ten Yaripon's, ten Tatepon's, and ten Yumipon's ready to fight at a moments notice. The possibility for me to go past the games limit's surprised me a little, but I found out that I was now limited by the amount of Patapons I could support. That just about sums up everything to date. But two things that would happen this day would change the course of events for the worse for us. Celestia's POV I had snuck away from the camp, as I couldn't stand it there. The stench of death permeated that place, and worse, it was tainting my sister. I couldn't stop her, but I could still save myself at least. Today I was determined to not go back to that camp. So I set out before Meden could wake up. Their false god was nowhere in sight ether. So I walked and walked farther and farther into the forest. I walked for a good hour before nearing the edge of a ravine. I was about to turn back when I heard something. It was a small kind of noise, but it sounded pure to my ears. Kind of like a bell with a lilt. I could tell that the noise originated in the ravine. That's when I saw the glint of light coming form a cave in the ravine. That decided it. I couldn't fly yet, but I could still glide. So I unfurled my wings and flew down to the bottom. Soon I was at the cave's mouth, and what I saw made my jaw drop. I saw the most beautiful tree. Mater was nothing compared to this. I began to approach the tree, and as I did, I felt something touch my mind. I flinched back, and the presence retreated. I cautiously stepped forward again and felt it touch me again. This time I didn't flinch. Then I felt something pass between me and the strange consciousness that must have been the tree's. Not so much words as feelings. I felt comforted, and invited closer. I came closer and the tree's presence grew stronger in me. Then, I was given knowledge about the tree and it's mission. It was the representation of pure harmony in this world, and it was put here to try and bring equilibrium to this young world. It's plans were disrupted by the Patapon Tribe coming, however. It needed something new to combat the tribe, as war was the polar opposite of harmony. The Patapons would never stop waging war as long as they didn't find Earthend. The Tree couldn't let them find Earthend though. It didn't tell me why not, but it felt very strongly against them finding it. And then I reached the big part of what it was telling me. It wanted me to become its champion. That's when I asked a question. "But, why me?" I felt the answer immediately. I was an unaligned Alicorn, and with my acceptance of the mission, I would become the strongest manifestation of harmony, no wait, I misunderstood the undertones at first, Harmony in this world. Even outshining the tree. It would then add itself to myself, and then Harmony would never be able to fall. "Add yourself to me? I don't understand." I whimpered. It sent soothing feelings to me and I calmed down. It then explained that we would live in the same body, and would thus be able to serve Harmony then ether of us could do alone. "What is Harmony?" The word nearly got stuck in my mouth, and my body shivered slightly at the power of it. The Tree explained that Harmony was the greatest good in this world, and all others beside. Countless world had already come to Harmony, and all were happy there. Many had resisted at first, but Harmony prevailed due to it being good on every level. Upon hearing the answer to this question, I made my choice. The Tree felt it and it fed me the words to say. "I, Celestia, fully and completely surrender myself to Harmony, and will bring as many into its fold as I can before I breath my final breath." As soon as I finished speaking, my mind was overtaken by bright light. I was blinded and my body became warm with Harmony's light. I became one with Harmony. Third person POV Discord was happily playing with his kingdom. He had just made a new kind of cloud that made chocolate milk! He was drinking of the fruit of his labors as he suddenly felt a disturbance somewhere in the distance. "Hm? What's that?" He clicked his fingers and made a metal banana in a flash of light. He then peeled it and took a scroll out of it. Scooby-Doo was playing on it. He muttered something and the 'channel' changed and he saw Celestia's transformation. "Well well, what do we have here? Little Celly's growing up so fast!" He snuffled and little of snot ran down his face, then promptly turned into gummy worms. He plucked them off his face, and ate them. "Mmmm! Mushroom flavored, my favorite! But back to business. This will mean trouble. But how did she survive the forest? That place should have torn her apart! Magic mirror on the wall, who's stopped Celly from dropping the ball?" The scroll then turned black and the words 'I'm not a mirror baka' scrolled down it, followed by the Starwars episode 1 intro. "Bah!" He threw the scroll over his shoulder, after which it turned into a pigeon. In fact, that pigeon lived happily for many years until, in it's naivete, it tried to make friends with a hawk. But I digress. Discord whipped a remote control out of his mouth and clicked it at thin air. A huge flat screen T.V. appeared and showed him the tribes camp. "Ah! So that's how she survived. Now, what ARE they?" He opened the remote and pulled a book the size of the encyclopedia britannica complete edition out of it. It didn't have a name, but Discord didn't seem to care. He just flipped through it until he found the entree he was looking for. "Aha! Patapon! I'm going to have fun with this!"
