Discord's planning his revenge, but this time, he's not alone... Follow him through Equestria, from a small run down bar in the less friendly side of Canterlot, to a cave on top of a cold mountain, to the weather factory in Cloudsdale. He's making his rounds and recruiting allies. You best hold on to your butts, this could get hairy...

This was written before the season 4 premiere and as such the events of season 4 and season 5 have not happened and this is an alternate story line.

i am beyond curious at were this is going. i like it. another to the watch pile.

2709296 Well I didn't expect a response so quickly. Fimfiction is just better than YouTube I guess. Thank you for the positive feedback. Be sure to tell me what specifically you liked about it and what you didn't like, what you'd like to see. Anything to help improve the story!

2709528. i very much liked your portrayal of a broken lightning dust. almost hopeless with just that shred of dignity left. witch is right where discord would strike. making her take that last leap herself. also liked that she wasn't a cop out charecter. she wasn't high profile. like using trixie for twilight would be to obvious.

2709604 Well Trixie already tried revenge, so I thought it would be out of place for Trixie in this story. It's already a bit of a stretch to say that reformed Discord isn't really reformed, and he was just putting on an act to gain Clestia's trust and get her guard down. Discord said himself that he thinks Celestia isn't completely convinced, and she's a bit suspicious. It's already a bit of a stretch to have that. I didn't want to bring Trixie in too.

2709631 discord himself said he would use his powers for good. then under his breath said mostly. he isn't that big a stretch and we all know chaos is just that. chaotic.

2709645 You know, it's positive feedback like this that keeps me writing and keeps me from quitting half way through. Thanks :raritywink:

2710743. for god keep writeing so talentless fucks like me can continue appreciating it.

I'll have to be honest, I don't exactly like.it. Don't get me wrong, it is pretty interesting. However, unless you are going to build a back-story about why discord has become "evil" (especially after the events of that season 3 episode), then the rest of the fanfic won't make sense.

This has potential, however, it seems to portray Discord as "evil" and it would be another one of "those" fics.

2714385 What I'm going for here (and what I hoped would be implied and thus assumed by the audience) is that his reformation was all an act. A bit of a stretch, I know, but I still like the idea of Discord recruiting everyone who hates the mane six.

There is still quite a few fanfics that do the whole "Discord was acting reformation" act, this would have to be pretty impressive for this fanfic to work.

However, at this point in the story, I don't think that right now would be the best time to introduce the "in-between" bit.

Go at your rate, and I'll be patient.

2714721 I haven't seen any fics about Discord only acting evil, so when I did it, I didn't think it was already done to death. In fact, I got the idea for a fic after seeing a PMV of the song "Are You In or Out" from Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

It seemed like a great idea, so I decided I'd write about it. But I get what you're saying, and it's a bit hard to believe that his tears and heartbreak over losing the only friend he's ever had was all an act, and I have a good idea of how I can make it more believable next chapter. I don't feel like changing this chapter. It's already great, if I do say so myself.

2714766
didn't ask ya to change anything, but if you want to, then it's your story.
Nice song through, give ya that.

2728356 Wait. You don't think it was awkward writing? You think my explanation works well? Um...well...Yeah! I knew it would work. It's not like I was incredibly nervous and self conscious about my work, and was desperately hoping for the approval of one of my readers. :twilightsheepish: No, whatever would give you that idea? :twilightoops:

2728401.......

It's not the best explanation ever. However, it is a lot better than some of the other explanations I often read about.

2728633 What exactly escalated quickly? My rambling? What happened to Discord? Because both things did.

fuck i thought i lost this story. glad i found it again. fucking awesome. loved discord and good job on broken chrysalis. i seem to remember a nobody's that heartless type scene from somewhere but cant for the life of me remember where. as usual eagerly awaiting more. great job.

2771824 It's from Emperor's New Groove.

2777152 how in the hell did i forget that. i have no bullshit seen that film 50 times

god damn. i continue to love your take on the fallen. another great chapter.

2822773 Thank you very much. I do aim to please.

Great job cant wait for more

Nice chapter cant wait for more

The lack of feedback on this chapter is unsettling.

man am i glad your back in action. i really hope your doing well.
now about the story.....
WOOOOOOO its alive and still holy crap awesome.
like seriously just got home greeted my wife and two year old daughter. loaded up old fim fic checked notifications and what do i see,a double chapter update.. i think i squeeled a bit as i threw my coat back on grabbed my smokes and read through smiling from ear to ear.
i shall patiently await more.
keep kicking ass dear author.

3526099 Well, all I had for the past, like, two and a half months was just the first paragraph of chapter 5. The series has just stayed stagnant until today, when I finished 5 and wrote the entirety of six. I hope two short chapters is a good replacement for one long one. And the story as a whole should only have maybe three or four chapters left.

Oh man I'm so happy to see an update
