After Connor left, leaving me with the mysterious message about how Samus was actually Discord, I ran out of the party, running over to Twilight's house. When I entered the library, I saw Twilight returning books to the shelves. As I was about to speak up, I noticed Twilight's coloration seemed off. "Twilight?" Twilight's head turned, and took one look at me, before making a 'hmmp' sound, and getting back to work. "Twilight? Are you okay?" I asked, getting a bit worried.

"Why would you ask if I'm okay?" She said in a sneering tone. "It's not like we're friends, so you shouldn't even care about me.'

'I thought I was done getting this kind of treatment when Connor helped Luna.' "Well, we might not be friends, but I can still be concerned about you." I replied.

"Well you shouldn't. In fact, you should kill yourself to spare everypony from your ugly face." 'Harsh.' Getting more worried, I activated my scan visor, and did a quick scan of Twilight.

Subject: Twilight Sparkle

I skipped the personal information about her, and went straight to the analysis.

Analysis: Twilight Sparkle has been magically corrupted. Her personality and her element have been reversed.

'That doesn't sound good.' Before I could do anything else, some more info showed up on my visor.

Connor's Analysis: Twilight has been corrupted by the chaotic spirit Discord. His plan is to prevent the elements of harmony from being used. Having Twilight remember her memories of her friends is one of the only ways to help her. Also, you could defeat Discord, who would reverse the effects if beaten in battle.

'I guess that's what Connor meant when he mentioned the extra information.'

"Twilight, do you know who Discord is?" Twilight didn't even react.

"If I did, I wouldn't tell you." She stated. Figuring that I wouldn't get any info from her, I ran out of the library, deciding to try and find the other elements, starting with Rarity, as she is the closest.

As I was running to the boutique, I came across Pinkie Pie, who also looked discolored. Getting more worried, I decided to ask her if she knows Discord. "Hey Pinkie!" She stopped, and looked at me. "You feeling okay?"

"Why would you want to know? Looking to make a joke out of me like everypony else?" She said in a harsh tone.

"Do you know a creature named Discord?"

"Why do you even care? Shouldn't you be laughing at me?" 'So, Twilight became the opposite of friendship, and Pinkie thinks everyone is laughing at her, instead of with her. Wait, what would happen if Pinkie became Pinkamena while corrupted? Would Pinkamena be a murderous even crazier regular Pinkie?' Deciding to leave Pinkie alone, I hurried to Rarity's.

When I reached the door, I cautiously opened it, to see it was very chaotic inside. Taking a step inside, I called for Rarity. "Rarity? You here?"

Suddenly, I was grabbed by magic. I noticed Rarity coming out from a corner, looking very crazy. "Everything is mine! Including your suit! Now give it to me!" She tried to remove me from my power suit, and only succeeded in causing me to lose one point of energy. Sighing, I turned into a morph ball, and escaped the magic field.

When I stood back up, I quickly activated my grapple beam, and grabbed Rarity's horn with it. Before she could figure out what I just did, I used the grapple voltage and took all of her excess magic, using it to give me energy. I let go of her horn when she passed out, and quickly left the building. 'That actually worked?'

Running to Applejack's place, I noticed Rainbow Dash sleeping on a cloud. 'Not going to deal with her.' Before I got to the edge of town, I came across Applejack, who was also discolored. Deciding to test something, I spoke out to her. "Hey Applejack! What's five plus five?"

"27." She said, her eyes shifting everywhere. 'Either corrupted, or stupid.'

"Are apples better than oranges?" 'If she can't tell the truth, this will show it.'

"Oranges are better than apples." Her eyes shifted again. 'Definitely corrupted. Better go see the Princesses.' I ran all the way to my ship, and quickly entered, before flying as fast as I could to Canterlot. I landed in the usual place outside the castle, and quickly ran to the throne room. Before I entered, I heard a noble talking to Celestia.

"So, if we kill off all the peasants, and let us nobles have the lands, we can increase our own money." 'What did I just hear?' I burst open the doors, surprising everyone inside. "Hey! I'm talking to the princesses here! Wait your turn!"

I walked past the noble, and closer to Celestia. "Celestia, we have a problem. Someone called Discord might be free." Celestia's eyes widened, and she teleported somewhere. While I was waiting, I turned around to face the noble. "You should get out of here."

"But I wanted to talk to the Princess!" He stamped his hoof. 'That sounded similar to a snap. But he couldn't have snapped without fingers.'

I pointed my arm cannon at him. "That wasn't a question." Then to my surprise, he sighed, before a snapping sound was heard. The pony disappeared in a bright flash, before being replaced by one of the ugliest creatures I've ever seen. "Dude, you ugly." The creature looked like a mix of several other creatures. He had a lion paw, a snake tail, a cloven hoof, and mismatched everything.

He seemed to take offense at that, and put his paw on his chest. "I'm not ugly, I'm beautiful." A bunch of cameras appeared out of nowhere, and started taking pictures while he posed. 'Willing to bet this guy is Discord.' I decided to scan him while he was distracted.

Subject: Discord

Species: Draconequus/Cosmic Being

Before I could continue reading the information, Discord appeared in my visor. "What 'chu doing?" He was looking around in my visor. 'What do I do?' "Now this helmet is going to get in the way of our conversation. I want to be able to see your face." And with a snap of his fingers, the helmet disappeared, and I couldn't feel it in the area I summon it from. Discord appeared in front of me, dressed up like a fashion designer. "In fact, let's just scrap the whole outfit." And with another snap, not only my entire power suit disappeared, but my zero suit. When I looked down, I realized I was wearing the same clothes I wore underneath the power suit to the convention before I arrived here. 'Wait, it's not just that, but I'm not Samus any more.' I looked over my body, seeing the familiar scars I got a while back in my previous life. 'He took my powers. I'm not even part Metroid or Space Dragon anymore.' "Now don't you look much better?"

I looked back at Discord, who was grinning. At this time, I was at a loss for words. It took a minute, before I asked him a question. "Why do you do what you do?"

Discord suddenly turned into a Thinker version of himself, for a minute, before responding. "I guess I just do it for the chaos."

'Could I perhaps paradox him?' With a smile on my face, I continued speaking. "Well, if you do it for the chaos, then did you ever consider this?" He looked at me with a curious expression. "Chaos is the opposite of order, and it's the same vice versa. So, if you cause chaos, it would be considered order for you, because you're used to it, while it would be chaos to those not used to it. So, technically, order would be considered chaos to you, because you're not used to it, and it is chaotic compared to the chaos you're used to. So, if you were to bring what order is to everyone, you would be causing chaos, because you're not used to it."

Discord looked like he was thinking about it for a minute, and then his head blew up, and I noticed my power suit was returned. Then a second later, Discord's head reappeared laughing, and my power suit disappeared again. "You thought that would work on me!" He said in between his laughter. "It was a good attempt, but it would only work if I wasn't insane already!" Then, with a snap of his paw, he was behind me, dressed like Ness, and swung a baseball bat at me, sending me flying out through the castle walls, and out of Canterlot. "HOME RUN!"

As I was flying through the air, I was screaming for my life. I mean, who wouldn't? I saw Ponyville closing in, and I knew I was done for, so I closed my eyes, and braced for impact, hoping for some kind of deus ex machina to save me. Right before I thought I was done for, I felt myself stop moving, and I heard a voice. "Don't worry Sam! We got ya!" I opened my eyes, to see Applebloom holding onto me. I turned my head to see the other crusaders also holding on to me.

"Oh thank you!" 'You're welcome.' 'Connor? Is that you?' 'Yes and no. That chip Connor gave you was a small AI of him which happened to be me. I was providing the information. 'Why did he give me an AI of him?' 'Well, he considered you a good friend, and whenever he has a friend, they are usually hurt by his enemies. So he tries to protect them. You asked for some kind of deus ex machina, so I got you one.' 'How... you know, I'm not even going to ask, and just be thankful.' 'Good, it would be better for everyone if you didn't. Now, I'm going to go, and you probably won't see me again.' "So, what are you doing 500 feet above Ponyville?"

"Trying to get our cutie marks in parachuting." Scootaloo replied, not realizing how dangerous that is. Especially with their patchwork parachutes.

"Kinda dangerous, but you did save me." Sweetie Belle had a curious look on her face.

"What happened to your armor?" The other two murmured words of agreement.

"Some guy called Discord is free, and he managed to turn me back to the form I had before I was transported to this world. So, basically I have no powers." The three fillies faces paled.

"I swear we didn't free him this time!" Applebloom blurted out.

I raised an eyebrow. "This time?" They told me what happened last time. "Well, I'm pretty sure you didn't cause this." They breathed a sigh of relief. "He was freed from the recent chaos happening in this world." I looked down, noticing we have about 100 feet left to fall.

"Hey!" Scootaloo shouted. "Maybe we could come along with you, and help you stop Discord!" The other two nodded at this. "We could be CUTIE MARK EVIL CHAOTIC GOD STOPPERS!" I flinched from their loud voices.

"That sounds completely stu..." I stop, and think about it. 'They could help me.' I sigh, before responding. "Sure, I could use the help. Now, here's the plan."





Discord was sitting on his new throne, idly playing around with the sun and moon, while the corrupted elements of harmony served him. He rubbed the head of his new pet, which happened to be Celestia, who was turned into a household dog. As he took a deep breath, looking around his new chaotic kingdom, he spoke to himself. "This is the life. God powers, servants, and no hero to stop me." Right after he said that, a small ball rolled in through the window, landing in the middle of the room, before creating a massive smoke screen.

While everyone was coughing from the smoke, and Discord was trying to figure out what was happening, a figure burst out of the same window, and fired a single blast at each of the corrupted servants, making them each spasm with electricity, and pass out. With a snap, Discord cleared the smoke, to see a familiar orange figure standing there. "Nice to see you again Discord." The figure said said.

While Discord was shocked, he recovered quickly. "I thought I got rid of you! And your powers too! Now get out of here!" He snapped his fingers, and to his surprise, the power suit didn't disappear like last time.

"Oh, you thought it was going to be that easy?" The figure chuckled. "I prepared for your little tricks this time Discord. Now, you have no power over me."
