Friendship is Prime

Prologue

It was a bright, sunny day, in Equestria. The Canterlot Garden was filled with beautiful greenery, and all different kinds of statues made by hardworking artists lined the garden's outer edge. However, one special statue was placed in the center of this lush garden. It is a statue of a Draconequis, a rare mythical creature whose body parts consist of those belong to a spectrum of other animals, from a lion's paw to an eagle's claw to a snake's tail to a bat's wing to a dragon's leg and even a pony's head! The peculiar thing about this statue is the position the creature is in. It appears to have arms outstretched, not for embrace but rather to try and fend off something. Its facial expression was one of absolute terror. Yet within this petrified sculpture, there lies a dark secret.

*bum-bum*

At this time, if somepony was to observe the statue, at first glance nothing would seem out of the ordinary. However upon closer inspection, one could hear what appears to be a faint heartbeat, slowly pulsing from where somepony would assume a Draconequis's heart is located.

*bum-bum*

This statue, however unusual it may seem, was not made by anypony at all. It is actually a real Draconequis that was turned into stone! Now the being inside this statue is about to awaken once more…

*bum-bum*

"Uhh, where am I?" The statue itself did not move, nor did it make a sound. Inside the statue, however, the consciousness known only as 'Discord' had awakened from what should have been an eternal slumber.

"That's right, I remember now." Discord recalled how he ended up in this miserable state in the first place. He had all of Ponyville in his grasp. The town that would be known as "The chaos capital of the world." He was going to have some fun in Equestria and unleash every ounce of glorious chaos he had stored up over the years. But then he was beaten, and his kingdom of chaos had washed away before it could even be built. All because of 6 young ponies. They were mere infants compared to his millennia of lifetime, and yet with 6 lousy pieces of jewelry better known as the 'Elements of Harmony', they were able harness a magic more powerful than even his own and revert all of the changes he had made.

*bum-bum*

"This will not stand. I need to get out of here. I need more CHAOS." As the spirit of evil and disharmony, Discord was able to feed off of all things chaotic. In fact, it was just a simple tussle between friends that gave him that last ounce of energy needed to break free from his previous imprisonment (which had already been weakened over time) before he was sealed up once more.

*bum-bum**bum-bum*

"I need more." Discord unleashed an invisible "presence". This presence radiated in all directions from his location, like a giant tidal wave. It spanned out further and further, looking for any sort of chaos that would give him the strength to escape.

*bum-bum**bum-bum*

"More." However, this time the ones who imprisoned him had used a stronger spell to lock him away, and it had been only recently so it did not weaken over time. He would need nothing short of total warfare to free him once again.

*bum-bum**bum-bum**bum-bum*

"MORE!" The wave just kept spanning out, beyond Canterlot, beyond Ponyville, beyond Equestria, beyond the planet itself, perhaps even beyond time and space! It kept going out further and further until it finally sensed something.

*bum-bum*bum-bum**bum-bum*

"Yes. There…" In some distant realm, he could at long last sense what he needed. Gunfire, explosions, conflict. All of it was just absolute chaos.
Perfect.

*bum-bum**bum-bum**bum-bum**bum-bum*

"Take me there." Discord would have to use every last drop of what little power he had left, even the bit of power that was keeping him conscious, but surely, he would make it there, to the warzone. It would be enough to revive him. Then he could have even more fun, this time with an unsuspecting populace.

*bum*bum*bum*bum*bum*bum*bum*bum*bum**bum*
"TAKE ME THERE!" A bright white aura surrounded the statue. Shortly afterwards the statue was enveloped in a white light, and then it was gone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hmmm?" In a secret base somewhere in a desert in Jasper, Nevada, a giant mechanical being, garnered in a Red and White pattern, known as an Autobot had noticed something strange on one of the many monitors around him.

"Something wrong, Ratchet?" A Red and Blue Autobot, who goes by the name Optimus Prime, asked in concern.

"No Optimus," Ratchet replied. "It's just that the sensors briefly detected some kind of anomaly. Everything appears to be fine now."

"You think it could be Decepticon activity?" Optimus asked with curiosity on the matter.

"I'm not picking up any other signals," Ratchet answered. "Whatever it was, it seems to have passed."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*bum-bum**bum-bum*
Discord had arrived in this new world in the dead of night. No one was around in this mountainous region to notice a statue suddenly appear in a blinding flash and sonic boom, no one would notice that it was the cause of a small avalanche nearby, and no one would notice the statue ended up buried beneath a pile of rubble.

*bum-bum*
Discord knew he would have to go back to sleep now, but he also knew that the next time he woke up, he would be free to do as he pleased.

*bum*
"Heheheheheh"

And then for Discord, everything went black once more.
