//------------------------------// // Interlude Confrontation // Story: Human Nature // by Dragonfire2lm //------------------------------// Hello! Discord here, the author is currently unconscious due to a mishap with the Elements, so I guess it’s up to little old me you fill you in. Discord! Stop messing with my account already! Oh you’re awake…pity I was going to explain what happened when miss prim and proper Celestia, little Sparkle-Butt and her friends crashed our party. Given that this chapter is titled ‘interlude’ I think changing to the traditional format of writing would be more suitable for explaining what happened. Fine have it your way… Human’s POV (since Discord is too rude to ask for my name) So after about a minute of waiting Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle and the other element bearers show up, shit hits the fan, I try to reason with them, fail miserably and stuff happens with the elements and Discord somehow escapes, bringing me along with him. Here’s the far longer third person view of events. One minute after the events of last chapter As soon as Pinkie left. in a flash of magic she had returned with her five friends and with the princess of the sun, Celestia. “Discord! I can’t believe you had the nerve to show up near Ponyville, and now as the element of magic and student of princess Celestia I have to arrest you” Twilight stated firmly. “Oh really Sparkle-butt? I only just got out of my prison and you want to lock me up again? What happened to second chances? ‘Innocent until proven guilty’?” Discord replied. “After what you did to us and all of Ponyville last time you’re lucky you even stayed out here this long!” Applejack retorted. “Haven’t you guys heard of negotiation?” this came from the slightly pale, two legged orange haired creature standing near the Draconequus. “Quiet human I didn’t order you to speak yet” Discord remarked. “Stop. Calling. Me. Human! I have a name” the human replied. “Alright what is it then?” “I don’t think you can pronounce it..” “Try me” “DISCORD!” this exclamation came from the princess. “How dare you bring a human, of all creatures, into Equestria? Do you know what they can do?” “Yes, but this particular human raised the issue of such chaos depending on what kind of person the human is, so I decided to test this out and here we are” he replied. “Princess Celestia that creature…is it really that bad?” Twilight asked. The princess sighed. “Twilight while their…disposition can vary like any animal in equestria, there are some things about humans that cannot be changed, the way they live can cause as much destruction to the environment as Discord and if giving the tools, can create weapons of mass destruction…among other things” she explained. “So not all of ‘em are bad, just some of ‘em?” Applejack summarised. “But surely such and ugh ugly thing like this must be trouble” Rarity commented. “It may be that my fears are mistaken, but for the peace and safety of Equestria I cannot take that chance, Discord send the human back at once!” Celestia demanded. The Spirit of chaos got into the princess’s face, gave a sly smile and said the two most immature words in the history of Pony kind. “Make me” “Very well then, Girls the elements!” she ordered. “Wait you’re going to use the elements of harmony on him?” the human asked. “Tia you do realise I am the one who brought this human here, and only I can send her back” Discord stated. “We will find another solution, with or without you” Celestia replied as the white light began emitting from Twilight’s eyes, surrounding her and her friends, lifting them into the air to begin the sequence. “But they can’t turn you stone!” this shout came from the human, as she grabbed Discord’s lion paw and pulled him out of the way. “Twilight stop!” Celestia shouted as the rainbow beam of energy fired; however instead of hitting the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, it hit the human instead. The Alicorn and the chimera watched as the beam faded, revealing the unconscious human girl. With one look towards the shocked element bearers, Discord snapped his eagle claw fingers, and he and human vanished. And there you have it; now Human what is your name anyway? …. Human? Girl? Oh she’s fallen asleep again…and what...What is going on? She’s changing. It must be a delayed reaction to the Elements. This certainly makes things a little more interesting.
