“Well, it seems you lose, Celestia,” Discord said with a chuckle as he gazed down at the solar alicorn, a wicked smirk on his face. Around his throne were the former Elements of Harmony, now his Elements of Chaos.
“I wouldn’t say that, Discord. My sister and I still stand, we will not yield to you,” she said defiantly. She ignited her horn and fired off a spell, only for it to be reflected right back at her.
“You are such a feisty one, Celestia,” Discord said, getting off of his throne, “I want you to watch this, my dear little ponies,” he said to the six rather mockingly, “I’m going to wipe harmony from this world, starting with you, Princess.”
“You may try, Discord,” she snorted, taking to the sky. She summoned as much magic as she could, firing it at Discord, who countered it with his own.
“This is rather boring, Tia,” Discord said with a yawn, easily matching her blast.
“Then allow me to spice it up for you!” Luna shouted as she appeared behind Discord, firing her own beam at the lord of chaos. The three beams crossed, their energy collecting before blasting outwards, knocking away the Elements and the two sisters.
Discord coughed up a small puff of smoke, dusting himself off. “Well that was pointless of you, wasting your energy all at once.”
“That was the point, Discord,” Celestia said with a laugh, getting to her hooves rather shakily.
“You planned to lose? How stupid of you,” Discord said with a laugh, “Have I finally broken you?”
“The plan was to release as much energy as possible. The three of us managed to release enough for his reawakening, unluckily for you,” Luna said with a smirk as she clambered to her hooves. Her horn shone for a moment, revealing a large walnut-shaped object with an equally large stylized ‘M’ on the front.
“You can’t be serious!” Discord shouted, glaring at them. “That wad of gum is your trump card?”
“I seem to recall him making you pause, Discord,” Celestia said with a smirk as the object glowed briefly before cracking open, spewing out some pink smoke. Once it cleared, a pink blob was revealed which slowly began to move. That is before a tear in reality appeared above and a strange creature fell out, landing on it. Everyone just looked at this newcomer in shock as he stood up on two legs and brushed himself off.
“Quick question,” the man said to the princesses, his spanish accent clear. “Do you two know me?” The princesses only shook their heads in response. “Maldita Sea! Well I guess that answers that question. Golden Tiger Claws!” Before anyone could say a thing, the man cut open a hole in the air with the set of golden claws attached to his hand. He jumped through and it vanished a second later, leaving everyone confused.
“Ugh...” the pink blob muttered, starting to take shape. It became a tall pink biped, a head taller than Celestia. It had baggy white pants with a yellow belt buckle emblazoned with the same stylized ‘M’. Its arms, chest and head were lined with holes, strange squarish structures where its ears might be. To cap off the strange look, it had a short antenna-like projection on its head. It took a moment to stretch, letting out a yawn. “Well... nice to finally be awake.” it spoke in a masculine voice.
“Thank Faust you're awake Buu,” Celestia said, moving over to him. She embraced him with her wings, which he returned with his arms.
“Ah, Discord, what a surprise,” Buu said, pulling away from Celestia to glare at the lord of chaos. “I should have figured this wasn’t just a friendly wake up call.”
“Sorry Buu,” Luna sighed. “We had no other recourse, he corrupted the current Element bearers.”
“I get it, no biggie,” he said moving closer to Discord, causing him to back up.
“I’m not scared of you, gum boy!” Discord snarled, getting into a stance.
“Good, means you’ll actually put up a fight,” Buu said, getting into his own stance. He smirked at Discord, causing the Chaos lord to flinch ever so slightly.
“We just need you to buy us enough time to restore the Elements,” Celestia said, pointing to the group of grey ponies.
“Consider it done,” Buu said, locking eyes with Discord. The two stared at each other for a moment before Buu vanished, reappearing in front of Discord. He immediately started to pepper the being’s face with blows before kicking him into a building. Buu put his hands together, making a diamond shape. “Tri-beam!” he cried, firing a pink beam of energy from his hands into the building, causing it to explode.
“Buu, please try not to blow up the town,” Luna called, deflecting some debris with a shield.
“Sorry, got carried away-” he started before Discord ripped him in half with a snarl.
“You stupid creature! Why! Won’t! You! Just! Die!?” Discord demanded, his eyes narrowed with fury, his voice trembling with barely contained rage.
“Because you suck,” Buu replied. His torso was propped against a building, while his legs were in a fountain a few yards away. Both halves melted into goo, jumping towards each other. They collided in mid-air, reforming into Majin Buu before they hit the ground. “Come on, you can do better than that.”
“Die! Die! Die!” Discord screamed, throwing various objects at him, a new and different object appearing in his hand each time he drew it back. The ones that made contact with anything exploded in a variety of ways, with the cloud of shimmering mist that exploded from a foal’s bottle turning a group of fleeing ponies into foals themselves.
Buu countered, sending out just as many red energy disks, destroying all of Discord’s objects. A moment later Discord’s talon shot out of the dust cloud, seizing and crushing Buu’s head. The headless body stumbled backwards, quickly reforming its head. “Ow...” he said tauntingly, seemingly unphased, much to Discord’s rage. Buu teleported into Discord’s face, slamming his knee into his muzzle. “I’ll tell you a little secret Discord, you want me dead, then you better destroy every single one of my atoms. You leave even one and I’ll just come right back.”
“Quiet!” Discord hissed. Slamming his bear paw into Buu’s chest, he sent the majin flying into town hall.
“Aww, is the hodgepodge mad?” Buu asked, now on top town hall. He conjured up a can of soda, casually drinking it down.
“You dare mock me?!” Discord screamed, his eye twitching in rage.
“You should really see someone about that anger, you're starting to develop a tic,” Buu commented.
“Buu!” Celestia called, getting their attention. Standing beside her was Luna and the restored Elements, determined looks on their muzzles.
“Well looks like I have to get goin–” Discord started before Buu caught him by surprise, the majin wrapping around his body like a snake. “Release me you freak!”
“Quickly! Use the Elements!” Buu shouted, his body’s magical properties negating Discord’s chaotic magic.
“Do as he says!” Luna commanded, watching as Discord struggled against Buu.
The Element Bearers all looked at each other before focusing on their Elements. They rose up off the ground, firing a rainbow colored blast of magic up into the air that arced back down at the two.
“See ya, Discord,” Buu said, giving him a quick two finger salute before teleporting away at the last second.
“Damn you!” Disord screamed as the blast hit him, returning him to his stone prison. It washed over the rest of the town, reverting it back to its normal state.
“And that is how you take down the Lord of Chaos. Any questions?” Buu asked, suddenly standing amongst the ponies, giving them a nice scare.
“Yeah, I got one!” a rainbow-maned pegasus shouted, getting up in his face. “Just what the hay are you anyway?”
“Me? Thats easy, I am Buu, Majin of Harmony, protector of the weak, warrior of righteousness, so on and so forth,” he said, waving his hand in a small circle in front of himself as he gave a little bow. “Though I take it I’ve been asleep for a while huh?”
“You were asleep for a thousand years,” Celestia commented, looking him over. “I hope the prolonged sleep hasn’t affected you adversely?”
“Nah,” he said, shaking his head and wiggling his body like jello. “See? I’m good.” He stopped jiggling and looked down at the Elements. “So... you gals know who I am, why don’t you tell me who you are?” He conjured up a chair, quickly taking a seat.
He listened closely as they introduced themselves: the Element of Laughter was a pink earth pony named Pinkie Pie, the Element of Generosity was a white unicorn named Rarity, the Element of Kindness was a yellow pegasus named Fluttershy, Loyalty was the multicolored pegasus Rainbow Dash, Honesty was an earth pony named Applejack and Magic was a purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle.
“If I may, Mr. Buu but um... what exactly are you?” Rarity asked, looking him over. “I’ve never seen anything like you before.”
“I should hope not.” Buu got up, stretching. “To answer your question, I am a majin.”
“I have a more important question: Do you like parties?” Pinkie Pie asked, suddenly staring into his eyes. She was standing on her back legs, her forelegs braced against his chest.
“Yes Pinkie,” he said, patting her head gently, “I like parties.”
“Yes!” she squeed briefly before becoming deadly serious, “Do you like cake?”
“Do I like cake?” he asked, glaring. “‘Do I like cake,’ she asks.” He glared harder, making her cringe and pull back a little, a frown starting to form on her muzzle. “Hell yeah, I like cake.” He conjured up a slice and shoved it into his mouth, whole. His licked his lips, chuckling at the faces they made at his strange body contortions.
“How can ya do stuff like that?” Applejack asked, looking rather queasy.
“I dunno, I just can. I’ve got weird magic that lets me completely control my body’s make-up. Like so,” he said, then melted into pink liquid.
“Oh no! Somepony must have dumped water on him! OH what a world what a world!” Pinkie lamented, her mane starting to deflate a little.
“Nah, I’m good,” Buu said as he reformed, good as new.
“Yay! Now I can throw your ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party!” She jumped up and gave him a hug before darting off, leaving pink smoke in her wake.
“Buu, we should really get you to Canterlot. A lot has changed and your presence might cause the population to panic,” Celestia said, trotting up to her restored friend.
“Bah! Nobles can wait, I gotta party!” he shouted, throwing his hands up. Before they could stop him he teleported away.
“Well, it’s good to know he hasn’t changed,” Luna said with a giggle. “We shall return Discord to the royal gardens,” Luna said, approaching the statue. With a flash of her horn, they both vanished.
“Princess?” Twilight asked, getting Celestia’s attention, “We don’t have to worry about this ‘Buu’ do we?”
“Oh no Twilight, Majin Buu is a dear friend of ours from long ago. He’s just a little eccentric like your friend Pinkie. Though I must warn you, there are times when he can be nonsensical, but thats part of his charm. For the moment I leave him in your capable hooves.” She gave Twilight a nuzzle before teleporting herself back to the castle. “Oh my,” she paused, “I forgot to warn them about Fat Buu... I’m sure they’ll be fine.”
“So, the self-titled ‘Majin Of Harmony’ is awake, hmm?” Beerus contemplated, rubbing his chin. He had longed for his day, as foretold by the Oracle Fish.
“What do you plan to do now?” Whis asked, standing next to his charges throne, eyebrow raised.
“I doubt he’d put up much of a challenge now, but...” Beerus stood up, his long tail swishing back and forth. “Ah yes, that’s it. Whis, we’re heading to the Otherworld. Yemma still owes me big for killing those robot cuttlefish.”
“As you say,” Whis said, tapping his staff against the ground. A moment later they reappeared in the Otherworld, holding up Yemma’s line of souls.
“Hmm?” Yemma asked, looking up from his book. “Oh, Beerus, my old friend, what brings you here?”
“Just calling in that favor, Yemma,” Beerus said, looking up at the taller being.
“I figured,” Yemma said with a sigh, “What do you need me to do?”
“Oh, just let me borrow a few dozen souls is all.” Beerus smirked. Majin Buu would get to his level or die trying.
