//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Eight heads are better than one // by Kit-San //------------------------------// A mental growl echoed in my mind. Unable to move at all was excruciating, but not being able to sleep was far worse. But then again those are to cons of being turned to stone. Doesn't make it any better though. I'm surprised that I'm not insane. Not only that my name taken away and replaced with 'corruption' and placed in a garden like trophy, that's just plane insulting! Here I thought I would make friends here in Equstria, the land were friendship and acceptance ruled, but silly me! The ponies only saw a monster, acceptance my none existing arse! Granted I do look menacing, but since when are ponies 'turn you to stone, ask questions NEVER'!? I would of roared out inraged. 'If only I hadn't gone and made that bet, or hell even went to the convention in the first place... I though to myself grimly. -FLASHBACK- So here I am, the capcon convention, looking like a total idoit.... The reason behind that being Jacky, one of my closest friends, made a bet that if I were to lose I had to wear a costume at a convention of his choosing, and knowing him he'd choose one that would look ridiculous, i.e, an Orochi cosplay from Okami. Unhappily, I walked through the crowd and pass several.... whatever you call them, poofs? I am new to conventions.Then I came across one with random bouts of gunk and stuff. Looking over I found a sword that looked a lot like.....uh....... I forgot the swords name, as well as the users name..... all well it's been, what three since I played okami? I do remember that it sealed Orochi in the game. Looking oven to the merchant, who dressed as the merchant from Resident Evil, and said "How much for the sword?" Looking over me, scanning my costume, he gave a light chuckle saying " You wouldn't expect for someone to buy the sword that sealed him, no? Regardless 50$, would you kindly?" Smirking at the bioshock reference, I handed him money coin to him. "Thank you for the business........Orochi" the merchant said before handing me the sword. Getting a closer looked at the weapon, I could tell it was very well cared for, no nics or dust of the sort. Then I notice everything went quiet. Looking around I saw no one. Just an empty convention, then I began to feel faint. -END FLASHBACK- *CRACK* A large crack sounded next to me, knocking me out of flashback. In the corner in eye I could see the prison of Discord break away. With a large yell he reared up, then proceeded to stretch, the sound of bones popping making themselves known Seeing the Sprint of Chaos itself gave me an idea. I hope this works. 'Oi! Discord! I shouted in my mind. Discord, who had his claw and paw clamped over his head, looked around, a bit startled. 'Yes he heard me! Over here! The statue with eight heads!' Looking over to my stony self, he floated over, stopping at the Helm of Fire, as I like to call it, which was frozen in a snare. He looked at me interested with his claw under his goaty chin. "Intriguing, I didn't think ol sunbutt imprisoned anyone else in stone here." 'Ha Sunbutt! Oh, I'll have to remember that one! Anyways think you can get me out? I'll owe you one or two.' "Hmm..." he hummed doubtful " Some insurance...." thinking over... which was 2 seconds...he snapped his claw "oh what the heck!" And with that my statue shown with light, I could feel my prison fall off of me. I opened my eyes that practically glowed red. I breathed to take in cold fresh air with all eight heads. I looked at discord "Ah, free at last. Thank you." All eight heads spoke in unison, with a deep voice. "As I promised, I owe you a favour. Why don't we go see celestia." Discord smiled at my excitement to get back at celestia " You're talking a bit different then you did earlier." He pointed out, to which I replied "I switch between speech patterns some times." Discord then pull my fire helm close, whispering a plan for, my grin spreading more and more on my scaly face.... er....faces. -Time skip- The six mare have just run out to got to the maze in hopes they find their precious elements of harmony, leaving Celestia all alone. Now's my chance. "CELESTIA!" I boomed. The alicorn yelped before looking around in search for me. The ground cracked before I burst from underneath, spinning a bit before the heads focused on her... well most of them, the Lightning helm just looked around confused before turning them glaring at her. 'Just like in the game' I thought to myself. "Orochi?! You escaped as well?!" She shouted as she lowered her horn at me. "What else did you expect? Discord was freed, what make you think I couldn't?" I snorted amused, before looking angrily at her " I came to Equstria for peace, but you and your ponies just couldn't have that? Imprison a beast that did NOTHING to you! Your lucky I didn't go insane, or I would have killed you!" That last bit made Celestia take a steps back. But she quickly recovered. Celestia open her mouth to resort but I stopped her "Save your lies! If you and your ponies want a monster, THEN YOU'LL GET A MONSTER!" I yelled before I roared, sending my curse onto her and the rest of Cantorlot Castle. She and every other pony turned to stone instantly. I then roared with laughter at the sun monarch, her face forever frozen in fear. Relaxing I then looked towards the maze with a sinister smile, before I disappeared in a black cloud. I then began to float over to the maze, or what was left of it as it had caught fire, with the six mares looking at Discord, who was laughing maniacally. POV change Twilight W failed.... celestia I failed you, chaos will rain forever...... " Well isn't that a bummer?" A voice echoed, so deep that it struck with fear. A black cloud suddenly appeared then condensed into..... a hydra? "Poor little ponies, where your friendship now?" Orochi cackled. "Did you take care of old celly?" Discord spoke to the creature, to which it replied "Ha! She is getting a taste of her own medicine, I can show you my handy work later." "What did you do to her!?" I demanded. He snorted then looked to Discord. " Well discord, it's been fun but I think I am going to retire for a bit. I'll be in the Everfree Forest if you need me, I still owe you." Discord then pout like a child "Oh come on, you'll miss some beautiful chaos." He wined, " Oh, I'll visit every now and again, but I just wanted to get my revenge on Celestia. I came to Equstria for peace after all, which was denied by those ponies. I still intend to have some peace and quiet. You have fun with your new toys." He said grinning at me which sent shivers down me spine. I heard him muttered 'Love and acceptance my none existing ass........' With that he faded away in a black smoke and headed towards the forest. POV Change Orochi Condensing inside the old castle, I dug my heads into the ground, my shrine only visible 'Perhaps I can turn this castle into some sort of lair? Hmmm. Maybe I could ask Discord. Or maybe I could summon demons like in the game? with the thought I fell deep asleep.
