This is like an experiment, so don't be too harsh. Anyway, have fun. Chapter 4: It started like a normal day... “DISCORD!” Twilight and Rarity yelled in unison. The draconequus chuckled. “Twilight Sparkle and Rarity. My dearest friends. And little Spike is here too. How wonderful.” He giggled. Twilight’s eyes narrowed while Rarity gasped in shock. “Discord! Stay where you are!” Twilight spat at the spirit of disharmony. “Ohohoho. No need to be huffish.” He said. He obviously didn’t take Twilight serious, which made her even more furious. I put my hoof on her shoulder to calm her down. Discord looked at me in a strange manner. I noticed his different sized pupils. “And who is this?” He asked curiously, then smirked. “Ooooooh...I see.” He teleported behind me and Twilight, pushed us together and started to sing: “Twilight and greenunicornstallion sitting in a tree. K-I-S-” “It’s enough Discord...” Celestia said. The draconequus frowned, then teleported back to Celestia’s side. I couldn’t help but grin. Although he was the spirit of chaos and disharmony, he was sort of peculiar. However I had no idea what all this was about. “Princess, what happened? Why is Discord free again?” Twilight asked nervously. “It appears that somehow the spell-“ She began, but was interrupted by Discord who silenced her with a quick gesture. “Shhh...Let me explain it. It was just a normal day and I was relaxing in my house made of stone...” He gave twilight a dirty look, then continued. “...When suddenly the spell broke, and set me free again. And by the way I’ve changed. No more chaos and disharmony.” He smiled. “So, Discord claims that he has changed and apparently it must be true, because otherwise the spell wouldn’t have broken, right?” I said. “Ooooh, you really found yourself a smart coltfriend, right Twilight?” Twilight blushed. “He’s not my...well, actually he is, but...THAT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.” She shouted. “Discord, please...” Celestia said calmly and turned to us again. “We still don’t know why exactly the banishing spell broke, but I think everyone deserves a second chance so...” She paused. “So I want you to...take care of him...” Twilight stared at the Princess in disbelief. “You want us to do WHAT???” she exclaimed. “Yes, I want you to help Discord starting a new life. You will watch him and make sure, that he doesn’t fall into relapse.” Celestia remained serious. “Bu- but Princess, you can’t be serious...I mean he is...and we are...and,,,” Twilight stammered. “Twi, please...I think the Princess is right. Everyone deserves a second chance...even Discord.” I tried to act as a broker. Twilight looked at me as if she couldn’t believe what I had just said. Then her expression darkened. “If you like him so much, then why don’t you let him live at your house?” She asked provocatively. I stared back at her angrily. I never thought her to be that stubborn. “That’s exactly , what I was thinking of.” I responded, accepting the challenge. “Discord, if you want to, you can live at my house, until you get your own.” I announced. Discord cheered, while Twilight just stared at me. Then she busted out of the throne room. Rarity snorted derisively then followed her friend without taking any further notice of me. Even Spike, who hadn’t said a word the whole time didn’t seem to understand me. He just shook his head when he passed me. I hung my head. “What happened to Love and Tolerance?” Then Discord teleported to my side and smiled at me. “Allow me to introduce myself: Discord, Spirit of chaos and disharmony, and you are?” I sighed. “I’m Xenos. Nice...nice to meet you.” I tried to sound friendly, but failed. Discord patted my shoulder. “Come on, little one. She will get over it.” He said, then he teleported next to Princess Celestia. “So...I’ll be going now, sweetheart.” He said and tickled her chin. The Princess quickly backed off with an expression of dislike on her face and although Discord chuckled, I could swear that for a glimpse of an eye I saw a shadow of disappointment on his face. The spirit of chaos teleported back to me and we headed for the exit. Suddenly I felt a strange pain in my horn. Everything went blurry and I collapsed. I could see that the same thing was happening to the princess. After a few seconds the pain suddenly stopped. I blinked and stood up again. I shook my head to drive the haziness away. “Wha- what happened.” I mumbled. “That was a strong magical interference.” The Princess explained. “The same thing happened about a month ago, but this one was much stronger...” I just stared at her. “About a month ago? But that’s when I-“ “Princess, there’s something I should probably tell you...” I said. Then I told her my whole story. She listened attentively. I noticed that Twilight had entered the throne room again, rubbing her forehead with her hoof. Obviously the interference had affected her too. “That means that again, someone, o r something from another dimension has entered our world.”The Princess said, after I finished my explanation. “And it seems that our visitor landed near...Ponyville.” Nopony said a word. “I want you to examine this occurrence with the most possible cautiousness.” She continued. We nodded. “I will use my crowd teleportation skill, to bring you back.” “Wait! Rarity called out. “Won’t this destroy my beautiful hair styling?” She asked, and actually seemed serious about it. “Rarity!” We all said in unison. “What? That’s important.” She shrugged. Then Celestia charged her powerful spell and transported us back to Ponyville. (Author’s note: We now switch to my partner’s OC, means that there is a change in the narrative style) Switch to Dave Ok first thing, are you in there? No? That’s settled then. Now I need to figure out what the difference in this dimension is and how the hell I should get back. I walk down the hill when a sudden flash of light appears. After the light disappears I see Rarity, Spike and Twilight, and who the fuck that guy is and finally, wait what the fuck is Discord doing here? “Uhm hello?” I raise an eyebrow at them. “Wait... You are a human.” The green stallion said to me. “And what would you know about that mister?” How the hell did he know I’m a human? Oh right, no one there, forgot. “Because...I’m a human...or better, I used to be, until...never mind. By the way my name would be Xenos.” “Ok XENOS if that’s your name, I’m Dave and how am I supposed to believe that you have been human once? It’s not like you are a pony or anything.” Xenos, I still can’t believe that name, I think it sounds stupid at least if it’s what he chose if he really WAS a human. “You seem feisty Dave, you remind me of someone.” Someone? Not a pony? What? “Yes he’s not pony. And yes I just read your mind, Problem?” He can do that? Oh whatever he still hears me now. “And I know you will ask so will just say it. I’m Discord, Spirit of chaos and disharmony. And these small ponies are Twilight and Rarity and that small guy is Spike.” “I’m not small!” Oh please Spike, just shut up will you? “Oh and Dave wanted you to shut up.” Spike cringed. “Stop doing that!” “I like the chaos you know? Though I have changed for the better I promise you that.” Changed? From what? Being evil? Loving chaos? “Yes to all of your questions.” “Just stop, please stop reading my mind will you?” He frowns. “Fine...” “Wait you must tell us how you got here!” Twilight exclaimed. “Well some guy decided to prank me, so he sent me into another dimension. Though I am coming from another version of Equestria, but before that I was on earth. And I have met all of you before in my version of Equestria except for you two.” I point at Discord and Xenos. “Well I got here through a portal and was, as you can see, transformed into a Pony.” Ok what? Well, weirder things can happen right? “But... why do you have an Ashbringer on your back with the disc and all?” When did he see that? Well it does not matter. “Long story short, I killed a Rayquaza and he was protecting this disc thing and I have smithing skills so I made it, just because it has sentimental value.” Can we just get out of here please? “You killed a Rayquaza? Seriously? What kind of fucked up Equestira do you even come from???” Oh Xenos I thought you would have guessed by now. “What is a Rayquaza?” Twilight asks. “It’s a dragon of sorts and yes it exists and yes I killed it, now that that is over with, can we just get out of here please? I am tired of explaining things to everypony.” I see Xenos looking at me with a strange expression. “I just noticed but what the heck is wrong with your eyes?” Not this again. “A symptom, nothing more, nothing less, not harmful.” He just nods. “He seems harmless, should we get going then?” THANK YOU XENOS! I then hear a thundercloud. “What the fuck was that?” I turn around to see Discord, wait didn’t he just stand behind me? “Oh sorry, just me playing around, I also think we should get out of here. Twilight humps. “Come on Rarity and Spike we are going back to the library so XENOS can get to know his new friends better.” What is her problem? They then trot off. “Well they are kind of a thing.” “DISCORD!” Really? I would never have guessed. “Wait your together with Twilight?” He simply nods. “Colour me surprised, I was working on soften up Rainbow if you know what I mean.” He groans. “What? I am just saying good going here. Oh wait and I also got these.” I spread my wings to their entirety. “Okaaaaay...that’s a bit weird. How did you get those?” “Simple really, just a mutation.” “Can you fly?” “Can you do anything else?” Oh Discord, you so funny. “Yes I can fly, though not for long, I am still training on it. No I do not have any other special abilities, sorry Discord.” He shrugs. “No matter, it is quite marvellous how you can fly though.” Xenos just stares. “XENOS! Hello, are you there?” I wave my hand in front of him. He then snaps out of it. “Oh sorry, they are cool though.” He then frowns. “What is up with Twilight though?” I ask. “She did not agree with the idea of me befriending Discord here.” He points his hoof to Discord. “That’s too bad, but I feel like we should do something to make everypony agree with the fact that he has changed. And if you were wondering why I’m so inclined to help him, it’s because I can see that he wants to change.” I smile at Discord and he smiles back. “I thank you for your support Dave the human.” A pot drops on my head and both of them burst into laughter. “Was that you?” He sniffs. “Priceless! HA that was funny.” Discord you are so silly when not trying to destroy stuff. “You know I can still hear you right?” Sorry. “Accepted.” “What did I miss?” Xenos asks. “Nothing much really, WAIT! I have one question for you though.” “What would that be?” “Before you came here, were you a Brony?” He looks surprised. “Well yeah, I was, were you?” I nod smiling. “We have something in common! HUZZAH!” “Uhm yeah, should we get to your place? I am tired from dimension travel and stuff and my throat is really dry as well.” “Yeah sure just follow me.” I follow him to a small house. We walk in nothing more. “This is where I live and I guess where you will live until we found a way to get you back, seeming how you almost got Rainbow.” I nod. “Though I want to know one thing, why is Twilight overreacting about Discord? I mean at least give him a chance, geez.” “Well, uhm...” Discord then speaks up: “I have more experience with her than both of you, not really but in that apartment I do. She really is a party pooper, Pinkie is much more fun.” “Indeed she is, but Rainbow is still cooler.” I still want to know why the fuck I’m here!? ‘It’s easy really but I won’t tell you, oh wait I’m not supposed to be here, so goodbye.’ WAIT! GET BACK HERE! FUCK! Discord gets a surprised face unnoticed by Xenos. “Kind of, but I like Twilight more.” “Every man to his own, but I have to ask what are you so surprised by Discord?” “T-t-t-that voice.” Huh? What voice? “The voice in your mind Dave, I heard him talking to you.” “He’s a douche. Don’t mind him.” “What are you two talking about?” I shush him. “Well, yes but he created me.” ... he created Discord? “WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?” SHUT UP PLEASE! “The guy who teleported me, he created you?” Discord nods and then he sighs and takes a sip from his teacup, where did he get that? Oh wait, it’s Discord. “This makes no sense to me.” “Do you think it does to me?” “YOU HAVE A FUCKING VOICE IN YOUR HEAD!” He yells. “You two please calm down, I want to explain some things to you, take a seat.” He gestures towards the sofa. “Well I don’t know much about him except that we were once friends and his name as well as that he created me. I know one thing about his power and that is that he is only matched by one thing or should I say being.” “Let me guess, the nice guy?” Discord gets a confused look on his face. “I see you have met both and yes that is who I am talking about.” He takes another sip. “But enough about him, he is not here so what should we do?” “I don’t know, I really want to rest though.” “You can take the sofa Dave, Discord you can take what you want, I really don’t know what you need and I will just take my bed because , well, I am tired as well.” We all agree and I lay myself on the ground because yet again the couch is too small. “Night, Discord.” I mumble. God I miss Dash now. “Night, Dave.” I then fall asleep. ... “Oh sure, just ignore me. It’s not like I offered you my house.” END OF CHAPTER 4 Author's note: So how was it? If you didn't like it...I don't give a buck. There will be more Chapters including Dave and even when he leaves this story, he will still be mentioned in the future, so...deal with it!
