The Cosmic King

Chapter 32 - Stuck in Time

The ponies watched in fear as Connor was slowly drained of color. The ponies old enough to know what this means realized that the only thing that could stand up to Discord has it's best trait reversed. While the color continued draining from Connor, Discord was laughing. "Oh, you think you could beat me?! It'll be a joy to see what you act like corrupted."

Discord stopped laughing when a green light shone from Connor's neck. The green light covered Connor's entire body, and restored Connor's color. Connor floated into the air, before letting out a yell, as the green light exploded around him. When the light cleared, Connor's entire body was covered in the green light. He opened his eyes, which were now a bright courageous green. It was the kind of green that just by looking at it, it made everyone think of a green-clad boy fighting a giant pig beast, while a ring of fire kept them trapped in the battlefield. "You think you can corrupt the element of courage?!" The greenness dimmed down a bit. "Well, you probably can." Greened up again. "But I have the element to remind me of who I am. And no amount of chaos and stop the opposite of chaos. Order, or if you're a pony, harmony."

Then, Connor flies straight at Discord, and before Discord could react, Connor slammed into him, sending Discord flying into a wall. Connor flew forward again, and threw a punch straight at Discord face, breaking a few bones. After Connor threw more punches at Discord, breaking most of the chaotic being's bones, Discord managed to snap, and teleport across the room, all healed.

With a roar, Connor flew at Discord again, who snapped, and summoned a magic mirror, which Connor went through, unable to stop in time. With another snap, the mirror disappeared, trapping Connor in the realm the mirror sent him. "Let's see how you like the dark world!" Discord yelled, with a smile on his face.


Once the disorientating portal effect disappeared, I looked around at my surroundings. I noticed I looked to be in the same room, but it was much more destroyed than I remembered, and I could barely see the ponies of the realm I left. I looked down at my hands, sensing some kind of shadow energy on them. Realizing where I'm at, a smile formed on my face. "The dark world? Seriously? Does he not know what my specialty is?" I lifted my hand up, and it glowed with cosmic energy, before the energy turned as black as night. I formed the energy into a ball, and crushed it, sending the energy into my body. I watched with a smile on my face, as I watched the black energy flow through my veins. "Gotta love the ability to adapt to the situation." I said with a chuckle, as I used my temporary control of the dark world to tear through reality and deliver a massive dark punch to Discord's face.

I felt myself break Discord's jaw with a satisfying crack, as he got flung back into another wall. Now that the dark energy faded, I charged up a powerful electric attack, before flying forward at lightning speeds, sending my electrified fist straight through Discord's gut, and ripped out his gut. I held it out in front of his face, before I realized what I was holding. 'WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS?!" The organ was not only dripping with large amounts of puss and unidentifiable liquids that not even I know of, but it was pulsating with strange energies, and was beating like a heart.

While I was distracted staring at the weirdest thing I've ever seen (And I once was forced to see an Ignorian 7 sleep with a Glaskovian. Now THAT was freaky), I heard Discord laughing. I looked over to see Discord chuckling, with glowing black blood coming out of his mouth. "It seems you found my squeedily spooch."

I looked back at the Irken organ, before furrowing my brow. "Why do you have an organ that only an Irk should have?"

Instead of Discord responding, the organ responded with Discord's voice. "Well? Why not?" Then, with a snapping sound, the organ blew up, sending me flying through a wall. I quickly recovered, and flew back into the room, noticing Discord was all healed. I fired a few quick blasts of the harmony energy around me, which all hit their target. When Discord recovered, he healed himself with a snap, before flying over to the hole I made in the wall. "Well, it's been fun, but I got business to do elsewhere." He waved goodbye, before snapping his fingers and disappearing in a flash.

I was about to head after him, using the fading trail of chaos energy to figure out where he went, but I heard a loud scream. I looked over to see a piece of the ceiling was about to fall on Celestia and Luna. I quickly fired a blast of energy at the rock, destroying it. I turned around to notice the chaos trail is too small to follow. Sighing, I was about to turn around, when I saw something out in the distance. It looked like a small purple shape, watching me from a distance. I blinked, and it disappeared. 'What the?'

Figuring I wouldn't get any answers now, I floated down to the group of alicorns, and did a quick check on them, making sure they're all right. "Okay. None of you have any serious damage done. Just take it easy for a day, and you'll be back to normal."

The parents looked between each other for a moment, before the father spoke up. "Um... excuse me for asking, but who are you? No one has been able to stand up to Discord like that. And you were able to resist his brainwash, and fought him off with some sort of green magic."

I chuckled for a bit. "Name's Connor, the Cosmic King." 'And, there's the bowing.' The stallion immediately dropped down, groveling at my feet.

"Oh please forgive us Cosmic King! My wife didn't mean to attack you!" I rolled my eyes at the display. 'Jeeze, I can never go somewhere where people aren't groveling at my feet. It's always 'Please spare me your judgement' this, and 'MY EYES!!!' that.'

"Oh stop groveling!" I shout, gently pushing him off my shoes. "I'm not going to punish you or your family." He looked at me hopefully. "Or your more distant family." He sighed in relief, while his wife look on confused.

"Honey, what are you doing?" She asked in a whisper that is loud enough for anyone in the room to hear.

"He's the Cosmic King! The ruler and protector of the multiverse!" 'Most of the multiverse. I rule most of the multiverse. Not every version of Equestria has a Cosmic King to protect it. Sure, a lot of them do, like Ronnoc and Connor the Destroyer. There's even Connie (why my alternate parents would even name female me that, I have no idea) and the sport Connors. And while every possible version of me has the ability to unlock their powers as Cosmic King, they don't all protect their universe.' I go back to listening in their conversation, to find they're already finished.

The mother looked nervous, realizing who she attacked earlier, before bowing down to me. "I'm sorry Cosmic King. I didn't mean to attack you."

Rolling my eyes, I responded. "Yes you did." She flinched. "You thought I was a monster, and tried to protect your children. Any mother would have done the same thing." I started walking towards the giant hole in the wall. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to track down Discord." 'And figure out why I felt weird fighting him.'

I was about to fly away, when Celestia shouted, getting my attention. "Wait Connor!" I stopped, and turned my head. "Why don't you stay with us for dinner? It's getting late, and you can always try to track down Discord later."

"Well..." I was about to say something else, but then my stomach rumbled with the force of an earthquake. "I guess that'll be fine." Celestia jumped for joy, for some reason happy that I'll be staying for dinner.

Eventually, at dinner (which was prepared super fast) I learned the names of Celestia and Luna's parents, which happen to be Gaea and Ouranos, which also explains how the alicorn of the sky knows me, but the alicorn of the earth doesn't. I also told them that I was from a few thousand years in the future, which I proved by showing them the magnificence of butter (which they didn't even have. Heathens). They also offered me a place to stay, which I accepted, as I needed a place to wait until the time comes where I can punch Twilight.
