"Twilight! Oh sweet Celestia, NNOOOO! I was to late to save- What are you doing?" you interrupt your own dramatic anguish to stare at the unicorn as she packs a suitcase.
"I'm leaving." She tells you "Discord can do whatever he wants; I won't stop him."
This boggles your mind. If there's anything Twilight is known for... it's liking books a whole, whole lot. But if there's another thing she's known for, its stopping the bad guys, painfully.
"Twilight that's not you talking, it's Discord's mind games! Snap out of it!" you slap her. Normally a suicidally bad idea, but this time she just slowly turns her head back to you, her expression, completely defeated.
"It doesn't matter," She says with tears welling up "there's nothing left that's worth saving. My friends are gone and even if they weren't... they're not the ponies I became friends with anymore. Why would I keep trying when that's been lost? Why keep going when our friendship is over?"
"Because if you don't, that means Discord just gets away with all of this! You went out of you way to stop me from doing whatever, so why does he get a free pass?! Huh?"
Bugze, you've got to snap her out of it, tell her to remember all the good times she had with her friends... just don't mention the times they tried to kill you...
All you can do is stare in shock at the grayed form of Twilight Sparkle. The look of pure defeat and hopelessness on her face saddens you to no end. You can't help but think,
Luna no... this can't be happening! She looked so determined when we were trapped in that maze. To see her like this... I can't even-
You end your thoughts as you decide to voice your sadness and say,
"No, no, no, no, Twilight! This couldn't have happened, it just, it jus... oh sweet Luna NOOOOOOOO! I was too late, too bucking late to save yo-What are you doing?"
You interrupt your melodramatic despair (including cliche hoof-pounding the ground in anger) as you stare at unicorn as she starts to... pack her bags? Twilight just sighs in defeat as she says with a hopeless tone,
"Isn't it obvious, I'm leaving. Discord can do whatever he wants, I won't stop him. I'm done saving Equestria, I'm done with friendship. I just don't care anymore."
As she says this, she throws a crown into a nearby trashcan. For some reason, you can't help but feel that the crown is not only very important, but also very dangerous. You stop looking at the crown as you see Twilight pick up the suitcase with her magic and start to walk downstairs. You stare at her retreating form in complete shock and think,
This... This isn't her! If there's one thing I know about Twilight... it's that she likes to zap me with magic... a lot. But, if there's another thing I know about her, it's that she'll never give up trying to stop the bad guy (usually me... painfully...).
You finally snap out of your mental rambling when you hear a door open and close. You shout out,
"Woah, wait!" as you run down the stairs and out the front door.
You run in front of Twilight, blocking her path. Twilight just gives you a sad look as she says,
"What are you doing? Can't you see that I don't want to be here anymore?"
Deciding that you can't stand to see her like this anymore, you give her a cold glare as you say in a determined tone,
"Twilight that's not you talking, it's Discord's mind games! From what I've seen, you love your friends... for some strange reason. Remember all the times you've had with them! Remember all the memories you've made with them! Remember all the times you all beat the stuffing out of me- Wait..."
Twilight just continues to stare at you with a empty look.You growl in anger as you yell,
"Snap out of it!"
You reel your hoof back and...
*SMACK*
You slap her with enough force to snap her head to the left. Normally it would be outright suicide to slap a mare, but considering that it's one of those "Get a hold of yourself, mare!" slaps, you hope she'll understand. Twilight just slowly looks back at you with tears going down her face as she says in a defeated tone,
"It doesn't matter, there's nothing left that's worth saving. My friends are gone and even if they weren't... they're not the ponies I became friends with anymore. Why would I keep trying when that's been lost? Why keep going when our friendship is over?"
By the time she's finished, there are streams of tears falling off her face. You look at her in pity, but that pity soon turns into anger as you shout,
"Because if you don't, that means Discord just gets away with all of this! You went out of you way to stop me from doing whatever, so why does he get a free pass?! Huh? You're the most determined pony I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. You didn't give up on taking me down, why give up on taking Discord down!?"
Twilight stops crying as she shakes her head in sadness as she whispers,
"You wouldn't understand."
And with that she...
Grey Twilight just looks at you for a couple seconds, then turns and walks away, back into her house. All hope is truly lost.
"Woah, Twilight!" you call after her, following her in. "What are you doing? Not going to stop Discord, not going to save the day? You're not even going to try to slaughter me where I stand?"
"Go away," she replies sadly as she starts looking for Spike. "I don't have time to deal with you now."
"You're just letting Discord win?" you scream in surprise. "You're just gonna give up and let your enemies walk all over you? That's not like you! Twilight, what happened to you?"
She doesn't answer you; instead she looks around for Spike. "Spike? Where are you?"
You find Spike curled up on the floor, a large pile of letters heaped up next to him. "Spike, what is all this?" Twilight asks.
"The princess has been sending these since we got back," Spike moans as Twilight picks one upand begins to read, amazed.
"These are all the letters i sent to the princess," she gaps as she reads on. You swear you see a time of purple climbing up her coat. "A true friend will always be there for another. Friends can be a great source of strength and courage. A true true friend helps a friend in need." The purple is definitely there, and climbing.
And then it stops. And fades.
"But..." Twilight whispers to herself. "My friends have been awful to me. They've been greedy, dishonest, and mean. Are... are they really friends?"
You remember Octavia' s soapbox speech from before. You remember the feeling of your first friend, and then your second, and then your third. Ask of them. And then you turn to Twilight.
"Listen to me Twilight!" you scream. She stares at you in shock, clearly taken aback. "You have spent the last year hurting me, insulting me, distrusting me, and basically being a species-est jerk! And you know what?" She stares at you, eyes wide with fear.
"I forgive you, Twilight... my friend."
The hearts in her head start spinning. "Forgive...friend...Forgive my friend... *ding!*"
In a flash of light Twilight is purple once more. "Forgive my friends! I know what to do!"
"Great," you say. "So, I'll just be on my way-"
"Oh no, you don't!" Twilight screams. "You beat us up the last time you saw us- you owe us! Look, I need time to get my friends back in order; you distract Discord, make sure he doesn't notice I'm up to something. Now!" She finishes. There's the Twilight you know.
Twilight reveals that she's always suspected you were a good bug, but because Rainbow Dash and Applejack hate you so much she also takes up the anti-Bugze banner because she didn't want to risk losing their friendship over disagreeing on that subject.
Turns and walks away. Remembering that you have to snap her out of it, you quickly follow after her and shout,
"Woah, Twilight! What are you doing? Aren't you going to try and kill me for hitting you? Don't tell me you don't even what to try to slaughter me where I stand?"
Twilight doesn't even bother to look at you as she starts to look for something while saying,
"Go away, I don't have time to deal with you now. I have to find Spike and leave."
Twilight then gives a hollow laugh as she says,
"You know, I always suspected you were a good guy. Ever since you saved us from that dragon. But I never said anything because I was afraid of losing Applejack and Rainbow's friendship to the point where I even rationalized you had some sort of 'mind control' spell."
She gives another hollow laugh before saying,
"I guess it was gonna happen no matter what, huh."
You stare at her in shock at what she said, but you shake your head and think Worry about that later, fix this mess now.Your eye twitches in annoyance as you yell,
"You're just letting Discord win then? You're just gonna give up and let your enemies walk all over you? That's not like you! Twilight, what happened to you? What happened to the determined mare who would stop at nothing to stop me... Even though I'm not a bad bug anyway!"
She doesn't answer you at all, instead she looks around some more as she shouts out,
"Spike? Where are you?"
You suddenly hear a moan of pain coming from the next room. Worried that something might have happened to Spike (you guess it was him at least), you charge though the door and see...
Spike curled up on the floor, a large pile of letters heaped up next to him.
"Spike, what is all this?" Twilight asks with a slight hint of worry.
"The princess *burp* has been *burp* sending these *burp* since we got *burp* *hack* *burp* back," Spike moans as Twilight picks one up and begins to read the letter out loud with a look of amazement in her face. You look at the piles of letters in confusion as you think,
What the heck? Why is Spike burping up letters? What are these letters anywa-
"These are all the letters I sent to the princess,"
Well that answers that question...
You think to yourself in a deadpanned tone. You look over to Twilight as she continues to read her 'friendship report' (Must have been a slow day in Canterlot when Celestia made this a thing) and you swear you see a time of purple climbing up her coat.
What the hay?
You rub your eyes to see if you're just seeing things.
Nope, still there. The purple is slowly climbing up her back hoof... I've finally gone insane haven't I?
As you start to second guess your sanity, Twilight starts to use her magic to float multiple scrolls in front of her as she reads out from each one,
"A true friend will always be there for another. Friends can be a great source of strength and courage. The Hooded Offender is being obnoxious again-"
"Hey, I take offense to that! I'm not obnoxious, if anything I"m moderately annoying at most!" You yell out in annoyance.
Twilight ignores your out burst as she continues,
"A true true friend helps a friend in need."
The purple is definitely there, and it's climbing! Maybe it's a sign that she's turning back to normal. Yeah, everything's gonna be fi-
It suddenly stops and it begins to fade away. You can only stare at it's fading form in shock, you then proceeded to face hoof as you think,
Me and my dumb jinxing thoughts... CURSE YOU LADY LUCK!
"But..." You hear Twilight whisper to herself, "My friends have been awful to me. They've been greedy, dishonest, and mean. Are... are they really friends?"
You suddenly get flashbacks to Octavia' s soapbox speech from before and then remember how you felt when you got your first friend, and then your second, and then your third... You remember Braeburn, the Horde (the club ones at least), and Nightshade. With a determined look in your eyes you turn towards Twilight and grab her to make her face you and scream,
"Listen to me Twilight!" She stares at you in shock, clearly taken aback. "You have spent the last year distrusting me, insulting me, hurting me, and basically being a species-est jerk! And you know what?"
She stares at you, eyes wide with fear. She then closes her eyes and waits for the oncoming pain. But you just smile sadly as you...
Hug and cry for her! Yeah! Tear and love can always save everypony from falling to the darkside!!!
Say to grey Twilight, "Don't give in to chaos, Use the friendship Luke! I mean Twilight.
Hug her. She gasps in surprise as some tears escape her eyes. You then whisper to her in what you hope is a comforting tone,
"I forgive you, Twilight... I forgive you, my 'friend'. And Twilight..." You end the hug and push her in front you, hooves still on her shoulders and her head still facing you, and with a look of shame in your eyes you say in sadness,
"Use the friendship Luk- I mean Twilight. Don't ever give in to the darkness Twilight. I gave in and... I almost didn't come back."
Memories of the Gala come back and haunt you as you say this. Twilight looks at you in awe as she starts to say,
"Forgive... friend... Forgive my friend... *ding!*"
In a flash of light Twilight is purple once more.
"Forgive my friends! I know what to do!"
Woah! Talk about a personality change! You think in shock as you let go of Twilight. You smile as you say,
"Also, I'm sorry about what happened with the others (even though they started it), I hope you can forgive me."
Twilight gives you a small smile as she nods yes. You smile in happiness as you say,
"Great, so I'll just be on my way-"
"Oh no, you don't!" Twilight shouts. "You beat us up the last time you saw us- you owe us!"
There's the Twilight I know...
You smile slightly before it dissappears as you say...
You respond, "You're one to talk. You guys have been chasing and pounding me since day 1 so between the thrashings I gave you at the forest, Ponyville, and the Gala I'd say we're more than even!"
"You're one to talk bookworm! You guys have been chasing and pounding me since day 1 so between the thrashings I gave you at the forest, Ponyville, and the Gala I'd say we're more than even!"
"More than even is still uneven, ergo you still owe us."
"Yeah, well... uh... er... fine." You say in a defeated tone as Twilight victoriously smiles before declaring,
"Now let's go get my friends back!"
Twilight runs out of the house and you're about to follow her when you see Spike still lying down in pain. You give a soft sigh as you walk over to him. He looks at you in awe as he says...
Also, you have a conversation with him to soothe him to sleep since he is a big fan of yours.
Spike: I can't believe it, the Hooded Offender, Saving Me From Death Itself!
You: You just got a stomachache kid
Spike: It still counts!
You: OK Then...anyway, thanks for thinking that I'm a hero and all
Spike: No problem, I'm part of the Horde here in Ponyville, I'm Co-Vice President with Octavia!
You: (Smile) well thanks kid, get some rest, right now I have to do something incredibly stupid.
Spike: What?
You: Challenging a God of Chaos to a fight...Ya I might be screwed.
"I can't believe it, the Hooded Offender, Saving Me From Death Itself!"
You chuckle at his statement as you help him up while saying,
"Hehehe you just got a stomachache kid, just drink a ginger ale and you'll be fine in a hour or two."
Spike gives a pout as he says,
"It still counts!"
You chuckle as you hold hold your hooves up defensibly and say,
"Okay, okay you win kid. Anyway, thanks for thinking that I'm a hero and all"
Spike gives a tired yaw as he says sleepily (Probably tried out form all the letter puking),
"No problem, I'm part of the Horde here in Ponyville, I'm Co-Vice President with Octavia! But don't tell the girls, they;ll have my head if they find out (plus Rarity will NEVER go out with me if she knew...)."
You smile at the kid and say,
"Well thanks kid, get some rest, right now I have to do something incredibly stupid."
Spike looks at you in confusion and asks, "What?"
You sigh as you say,
"I'm gonna go out and catch five insane mares to turn them back to just crazy, then I'm gonna go take on a god of chaos... In other words, a typical Monday."
Spike nods his head in agreement. You're about to say something, when you hear Twilight yell,
"HURRY UP OFFENDER! I ALMOST GOT APPLEJACK!"
You then hear Applejack scream,
"NO SHE DOESN'T, SHE'S NOWHERE CLOSE TO ME! AND YOUR STILL MY MOST FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD!"
You sigh in defeat as you say goodbye to Spike as you walk out the door to see Twilight right on Applejack's heels. You smirk slightly as you think about the item you want and you pull out...
You leered at the running form of LiarJack. "Applejack had her lasso rope. I have my duct tape."
Your duct tape from The Inventory. You look over to where Applejack is running and say,
"Applejack may have her lasso, but I have my duct tape."
With that you start to swing your duct tape around like a sling before you throw it at Applejack...
48 MINUTES LATER
That had to be the strangest forty-eight minutes of your life... and that's saying something. After you captured Applejack in duct tape, Twilight used some sort of spell on her. Suddenly, Applejack's eyes turn into a picture show as they play (what you think is) a bunch of her memories (including ones involving you). After that she turned orange again. After explaining why she was stuck in duck tape, and getting punched in the face by her, then having Twilight step between you and the hick before things could escalate, the three of you set out to get the others.
First was Rarity...
Sweetie Belle (secretly a Horde member out of rebellion at her sister) helps you get into The Carousel Boutique (which has been barricaded by Rarity so she can horde "Tom" all to herself)
One of the Crusaders, Sweetie Belle (who just so happens to be a fan of yours... and Rarity's sister (that must lead to some awkward dinner conversations...)) helped sneak the three of you into Rarity's home (called The Carousel Boutique) which was boarded up so that noling could steal 'Tom' (why Tom of all names for a rock, if anything you would have called it "Rick" or "Rocky"). After multiple needle wounds, crying, and very... very scary threats (along the lines of 'I'll make a suit out of your skin'), you finally managed to hold her down long enough for Twilight to do the spell (Applejack suspiciously didn't try to help you deal with Rarity...). After getting slapped by Rarity for holding her down like a ruffian (and yet she liked it when she was your meat shield... mares, you''ll never understand them), the four of you split up to tackle Pinkie and Fluttershy. You and Twilight went after Fluttershy while Rarity and Applejack went looking for Pinkie.
The Horde helps you catch and restrain their Discorded president, Fluttershy (cue Fluttershy and you apologizing to each other for the beat-down and keep-away with your daughter... And cue surprise from The Horde when they overhear you're a daddy)
You and Twilight ran into Octavia and Vinyl on the way to Fluttershy's. Deciding that you and Twilight could use the extra hoof, you asked them if they wanted to help. They accepted as soon as the words 'help me' left your mouth (Octavia was blushing like a mad mare the whole time for some odd reason). Twilight asks,
"Why are they so willing to help you?"
You replied... "Because... Hey, is that her hut?"
You and the group of four made it to Fluttershy's shed and found her making fun of some bears. When she saw you... well let's just say words were said, ponies were thrown, alot of trees need replanting, and some intervention was needed before you hurt anypony. Finally you, Octavia, and Vinyl managed to hold her down (you find out that Octavia took Karate classes with Rarity and even fought off a few changelings during the invasion alongside Vinyl. When you asked Octavia why she didn't just use her Karate on that Diamond Dog at the gala, she got all flustered and just told you to focus on the job at hoof) so Twilight could do the spell. After Fluttershy was returned to normal, she hugged you as soon as she saw you and cried,
"Oh Hoody, I"m so, so, so, so, so, so sorry about all those mean things I said to you and for what I did to your daughter which was just unacceptable. I will completely understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore..."
You give a small smile as you pull Fluttershy into the hug as you say,
"It's okay Fluttershy, you're forgiven. You'll always be my friend. I mean if you could forgive me for slamming you into a shelf and almost strangling you... twice..."
Before Fluttershy could respond, Vinyl and especially Octavia scream,
"WHAT?!!!"
Then two things happened,
1. They demanded to know who the mother was (Octavia the most, who kept on asking where 'the mother' is so that she could 'polity' ask her to leave you alone... for some odd reason).
2. They fainted as soon as you told them the truth.
Twilight decides you don't have time to wake them up so you all put the unconscious mares in Fluttershy's hut with a note that read,
Off to take on a god of chaos. See ya soon.
-The Hooded Offender
P.S.
Fluttershy asks if you can feed her animals while she's gone.
P.P.S.
HOODED OFFENDER, AW(*scribbles as Twilight yanked you away before you could finish*)
You all went back to Ponyville to see a hog-tied grey Pinkie sitting next to Applejack and Rarity. One magic spell later and shes back to her pink bubbly self... joy...
Finally this lead up to where you are now... trying to figure out how to catch Rainbow Dash...
After helping Twilight restore Fluttershy and three more of the Deadly Five, there's only one pony left: Rainbow Dash.
And you have a genius plan to catch her. "Let's have Fluttershy sneak up on her while she's napping and hold her down. Then the rest of you can pull her to the ground and Twilight can use her magic spell thingy."
Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Fluttershy. Pin down Rainbow Dash. How?"
"Good point. Alright, all of you get in a hot air balloon and--"
"Let me stop you there, varmint. What would keep her from flyin' off full speed when she sees us? She carried four unconscious ponies on her back up in Cloudsdale. She can outfly a balloon."
Twilight taps her hoof for attention. "We need somepony to lure her in close. And we have the perfect volunteer."
You can't help but notice the twinkle in her eye when she looks at you. "You're... talking about me, aren't you?"
"You know her trigger word."
---
"FILLY-FOOOOOLEEEEEEER!"
Your scream echoes from the hill you're standing on. The sound is soon replaced by a high pitched whistling. You shake in your cloak and turn around, searching the sky for what you know is coming.
Rainbow Dash slams into you from behind. Her tackle sends you both rolling on the ground, and she ends up on top of you. She sneers and raises her hoof to punch you where your face would be. "WHAT-DID-YOU-CALL-ME?!"
You cover up as best you can, but the rain of blows won't stop. "Twilight! Now!"
"I'LL-TEACH-YOU!"
"Twilight! Please! I don't want to die here!"
"BREAK-YOUR-JAW-YOU-WON'T-SAY-WHOA!"
A rope finally yanks her off of you. You glare at Applejack as she hogties Rainbow Dash. "You were enjoying that, weren't you?" She snickers.
And you have a genius plan to catch her,
"Let's have Fluttershy sneak up on her while she's napping and hold her down. Then the rest of you can pull her to the ground and Twilight can use her magic spell thingy."
Applejack raises an eyebrow,
"Fluttershy. Pin down Rainbow Dash. How?"
You blush in embarrassment as you say,
"Good point. No offense Fluttershy."
"None taken Hoody."
"Alright, all of you get in a hot air balloon and--"
Twilight interrupts you as she says,
"What would keep her from flyin' off full speed when she sees us? She carried four unconscious ponies on her back up in Cloudsdale. She can easily outfly a balloon."
Rarity taps her hoof for attention,
"We need somepony to lure her in close."
Applejack nods her head as she says,
"Somepony who can make her mad easily..."
Pinkie nods her head super fast as she says,
"And it has to be somepony who's really, really, really, really good at drawing attention."
Twilight smiles as she says,
"And we have the perfect volunteer."
Suddenly everypony is looking at you with a dark smile (besides Fluttershy). You gulp in as you say,
"You're... talking about me, aren't you?"
Twilight nods her head and says,
"You know her trigger word."
You sigh in defeat and mutter,
"Why is it always me..."
THREE MINUTES LATER
You look around the field you're in in fear as you charge up your RCV and yell,
"RAINBOW DASH IS A FILLY-FOOOOOLEEEEEEE-" *WHAM*
When Rainbow Dash slams into you from behind. Her tackle sends you both rolling on the ground and she ends up on top of you. She snarls and raises her hoof to punch you where your face would be as she yells in pure rage,
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"
You cover up as best you can, but the rain of blows won't stop,
"Twilight! Now!"
"I'LL-TEACH-YOU!"
"Mares! Please! I don't want to die here!"
"BREAK-YOUR-JAW-YOU-WON'T-SAY-WHOA!"
A rope finally yanks her off of you. You glare at Applejack as she hogties Rainbow Dash.
"You were enjoying that, weren't you?"
She just snickers in response. You give her a deadpanned glare as Twilight does the spell on Rainbow behind you, and you say...
You reply to the mare's taunting, "Go ahead, laugh. A few more seconds and I was gonna Falcon Punch that fillyfooler in the liver!"
"Go ahead, laugh. A few more seconds and I was gonna Falcon Punch that fillyfooler in the live-! *Punch*"
Que you getting punched in the liver by said fillyfooler (while Fluttershy gasps "Hoody!" in horror) who chuckles,
"Thanks for the idea."
You just grunt and gasp in pain as you choke out,
"I... Hate... You..."
Rainbow snickers and says,
"Aww, I love you too Offender."
You finish gasping in pain as you glare at Rainbow and snap,
"Why don't ya take your hick marefriend and go find a cave so you two can have some 'alone time' you fillyfooler!
Before things could escalate, Twilight says,
"Ahem! You two can fight later, right now we need to stop Discord, with The Elements of Harmony!"
She then levitates five necklaces towards the mares and the crown from before towards her head. The same feeling of dread from before appears as you look at the strange items. Before anything else could happen...
-After un-Discording all the mares, you all notice that Discord is creating more dangerously unstable chaos which ends up accidentally scattering the elements around town (something like he unwittingly throws away glass-shaped chocolate milk which lands between you all and explodes) so you volunteer to go confront/delay him while everypony else will try to retrieve the elements
You hear Discord's voice shout "FORE!!!"
You turn around just in time to see a bunch of milk-filled balloons heading straight towards you and the mares. Before you can do anything to stop them from hitting-
*splash*.
The milk bombs send milk forcefully splashing all over the place, which knocks all of you down and scatters the elements all over the town. As the mares look at where the elements used to be in shock, you see Discord causing more dangerously unstable forms of chaos (for example, he's now rolling giant balloons into a bunch of bowler ponies). You think,
At the rate he's going, that lunatic's gonna destroy the whole town! But those element thingys are scattered. What do I... *ding*
Getting an idea, you bark at the mares,
"Alright listen up!"
The mares look at you in shock at your outburst. Getting their attention, you continue,
"I"m gonna go and distract Discord, while you mares go and find those element thingys... got that!"
The mares all nod their heads, while Fluttershy looks at you in worry, but you give her a reassuring nod before you start to head off, but you suddenly turn and say,
"And don't be late this time! Now go!"
The mares nod and start to gallop away in search of the elements while you walk with a determined stride towards where Discord voice came from (you rationalize to yourself that if you're gonna face down a god of chaos, might as well start with a cool action-hero stride)...
A FEW MINUTES LATER
It's time to do what you haven't done in a long time: "I'M THE DISTRACTION!" you yelled at the Discord.
You find Discord sitting on a throne of some sort playing around with some bunnies (as in he's lifting them up in the air, spinning them around, turning them into birds, or turning them back into birds... you can't tell), but now it's time to do something you haven't done in a long time. You get his attention by shouting with the RCV...
"I'M A DISTRACTION!!!"
Discord snaps away the birds and/or bunnies as he chuckles at you display. After he's done laughing he says,
"So, you've decided to join my side player two?" and poofs a pair of controllers into his claws to emphasize his point as he offers one to you.
You laugh and say in a heroic tone,
"Nope! I"m player one, and you're the final boss that's gonna get his butt whooped by me!"
Discord chuckles and throws the controllers behind him (causing a "honk" and a "boink" for some reason...) before he says,
"Bring it on... friend"
Sweat goes down your forehead as you and Discord stand off in preparation to fight the most epic fight of all epicness that will end the debate of which is epic and which is epi-
"Daddy, what is that thing?"
...
"Huh?"
You look at The Inventory to see... Nightshade pointing adorably at Discord. Discord just looks at her in confusion, but then he starts to smile as he says,
"Ohhhh, a new player has entered the game!"
It's times like these that there are four simple words that you love to use, over and over again. And those words of wisdom are...
Buck you lady luck...
What do you do?
Use this song
Discord tries to get Nightshade to choose him as her new daddy with offers of chaos, fun, and food, but even though Nightshade has fun and is tempted, she still chooses you instead leading to him discording Nightshade (she now hates food and cheers Discord). Cue angry Bugze.
Interestingly, throughout the whole battle Discord doesn't seem that cruel or even trying that hard. If anything, he's constantly treating you like a buddy throughout the battle saying things like:
-"I haven't had this much fun in ages! Sure, I was imprisoned in stone for ages, but still!"
-(After knocking/throwing you into a wall) "Oh, such grace H.O. and what a landing, I give it 6.6 tacos out of pi!"
-"Weeeeeeeeeee! I don't ever want this fight to end!"
Use the staff against him, but not only does Discord literally surf the shockwave, he starts using your staff as a toothpick.
Since Discord sounds like character from Star Trot and obviously your cool moves aren't working, why not use campy moves like the ones in this video?:
-(2:07) "The Human Bowling Ball": Roll into Discord's legs which surprisingly catches Discord off guard and knocks him down, but instead of being upset he just gets happier as he says, "Still got some fight in you. Good, in all honesty this was starting to get boring."
-(3:32) "Wall of Destruction": Try to follow up the "Buggy bowling ball" by jumping off a wall to leg-drop Discord while he's on the ground talking, but he counters with a trampoline knocking you into the wall.
-(4:42) "The Shatner Chop": You try to karate chop at the sides of Discord's neck, but Discord transforms into a massage customer and says "A little to the left would you?"
The nightmare cloak with one tail comes out (seeing as you have the ability to form extra tails, you decide to call this "Phase 2" with "Phase 1" being the glowing orange eyes). You lash out with your tail and grab Discord by the arm, but before you can pull, he says,
"GET OVER HERE!"
and yanks you towards him, causing you to splat face-first into a carrot cake he's holding out before Discord comments, "Ain't I a stinker?"
Use Fus Ro Dah and it apparently works as it sends Discord blasting off Team Rocket-style, but suddenly you hear a voice next to you ask,
"Hey, do you want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?".
Before you could respond, Discord sends you flying down the street with an irritating high-pitched screech-yell that knocks you into the dancing buffalo like a bowling ball as Discord proclaims, "Sttttrike!"
Rapid-fire stun spells at Discord who suddenly snaps on a trenchcoat and some sunglasses before leaning back and dodging them all in slow-motion. He then says "Ooo, Ooo, My turn!" he then transforms into a big laser cannon and yells "I'MA FIRIN MAH LAZAR!"
Throw down a stink/smoke bomb to distract Discord while you teleport behind him and hit him with No Shadow Kick. It works at first, but before you can deliver the final knock-back kick, Discord hits you with a Captain Kirk-style double-fist to the side and proclaims, "C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!"
Enter Phase 3...
Bugze, get Nightshade the heck out of there, now! DO NOT LET DISCORD TOUCH HER!
Discord use his magic and force Nightshade to appear in front of him
"Daddy!!!" Screamed Nightshade calling you
"Like someone say around here one time... This is my meat shield, there are more meat shields and bla bla bla... You choose, your little filly or the mares" Say Discord laughing
Without you knowing he left a little hidden surprise in Nightshade to be sure in case he lose.
"Daddy!!! Help Me!!" Shouted Nightshade
Suddenly in your mind you think of some plumber with a red hat, a Princess with a pink suit and a strange giant monkey
"Leave her alone Donk*y K*ng!!"
Suddenly the silence is around as both of you try to think about what you say
"Errr... Did you call me Donk*y K*ng?" Asked Discord
"Ehhh.... Nop" You answer
------------------------
The most OP Is Discord, in my oppinion
Well, at least he doesn't, seem to be a good fighter.... You think to yourself, as you easily dodge his attacks, you wonder why the god of chaos was hardly trying to- wait is that another him dual wielding video game controllers?! He wasent actually fighting you ! "hey! Get overhear and fight you, um, coward!" You yell in anger. The god of chaos wassent even phased and talked to you in a calm tone "oh well if you insist..." The discord you where fighting suddenly deflated as the discord with the controler was.... Typing in cheat codes? "lets see.... Up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right...... And.... B, A" His controller the turned into a giant sword with buttons on the handle, while his other turned into a giant shield, or rather a giant mirror shaped like a shield. You would normally yell something along the lines of 'thats cheating' but your dark woes conditioned mind was currently telling you "roll darnit roll!" As discord relentlessly swung at you, your surprisingly well timed rolls the only thing keeping you alive. You hoped the girls would get here before he starts useing his mag- to late, he's already hurling chocolate coated fire balloons at you now. At the end of discords 50 piece attack combo, You charge up your horn and fire a blast of magic at him but it hits his giant mirror and bounces of harmlessly, actually now that you think about it you feel like you've done this before. Discord seemingly recovered from his exhaustion held his controller-sword thing in the air an pressed some of the buttons on the hilt seemingly entering yet another cheat code, as suddenly the pink clouds around him gathered around the sword and turned into soap of some kind, coating the sword with its wonderful cleanliness. He then slammed the sword into the ground, createing a trail of soap that curved to follow you, thankfully you dodge that easily and and avoid the attack. "ok ive definitely seen this before, exept with lightning." You try to take a step foward only to slip and fall, the reason of which could probably be explained by the mysterious soap suds on the ground. "ok well, this cant get any worse...." Suddenly discord slammed his shield into the ground and a silver looking apple jack covered in armor with a sword of her own slowly but surely broke it way out of the shield, no she literally broke the glass from inside the mirror and fell out yet somehow the mirror stayed in pristine condition. Yeah, you have a pretty good idea of what he's ripping of now, but still, You wondered how you where supposed to deal with this. Discord , having left his shield stuck in the same position was leaning on it with his sword slung on his shoulder as a silver amored rainbow dash wielding a sword with a blade that looked an awful lot like really old bread, broke out of the shield in the same manor as her ally. However none of the three attacked you. Discord with his you know what eating grin calmly offered you the best option you heard all day. "so you seem tired, how about we talk for awhile hmm?" You look up at him and say the greatest words of knowledge that has ever left your mouth. "you.... Are such a cheater...."
Ok now somebody finish this crap comment for me because im not wasteing 20 minutes,of my time writeing 200 word paragraphs for a *COMMENT BASED* story that isn't going to use them. Or don't, because last time i commented i literally got 1 sentence in, and it wassent even for my original comment. So, you know what dwc? Im saying f&$@ it and going to go back to makeing snide remarks to other poeples comments on fimfiction and no one can stop me! :|
The most OP thing in mlp are the elements of harmony.
4981752 The most OP thing in my opinion is the cartoon logic...
Discord tries to makes Nightshade join his side, it fails. Discord then try to discords Nightshade, it fails. Discord get desperate and use meatshield:"Stay back! This is my meat shield! There is many more like it but this one is mine!"
It angered Bugze, activate the nightmare's rage (since nightmare seem very protective of Bugze and Nightshade if I'm not mistaking).
The rest is open for thoughts.
Discord is the most OP because of his seemingly limitless chaos magic that has the ability to do almost anything
Discord and Nightshade:
ITS MINE!
NO, ITS MINE!
BUT I FOUND IT FIRST!
NO YOU TOOK IT YOU LITTLE- OW! SHE BIT ME!
Bugzy watches in confusion as the moon moves across the sky in erratic patterns
4981876
And he can bend reality and with a snap of his talons can transform anything easily.
Most op item: Elents of aRmoRy
4981608
Nightmare cloak comes out in full force maybe?
Discord teleports onto your back and talks to Nightshade. "Hello my dear, I am Discord, lord of chaotic fun. Since your daddy's being a big buzzkill..." he puts on a creepy mask "Do you want to play a game?"
This of course terrifies her and she retreats into The Inventory. Discord raised an eyebrow (that keeps going and floats off his head). "Well that was quite rude of her, don't you think?" he asks you "I just wanted to share in some fun after all."
"Discord..." you growl "GET OFF MY BACK! SHORYUKEN!" and the fight begins.
=====
Couple of ideas for the fight:
- Bugzy tries to uppercut into Discord, but he replaces himself with a cloud of cotton candy. While Bugzy is stuck, Discord mentions that he looks a bit "Under the weather" at which Bugzy gets drenched in grape soda from the cloud and frozen solid.
- Bugzy tries to Psycho Crusher, but Discord spawns a brick wall full of dynamite in his way.
======
After the fight drags out: With a large amount of his arsenal rendered useless by the laws of chaos, Bugzy tries to use the environment to his advantage, leading to him swinging a giant candycane at Discord while yelling "There can be only ONE!"
Discord meets him in the clash wielding a giant lollypop. Bugzy glares at discord across their sugary weapons when Discord looks up and says "Oh look, a distraction."
"Hah, you think you can fool me with my own- Gurk!" Bugzy mocks before an anvil etched with the word DISTRACTION falls on his head.
4981736 Up up down down left right left right b a *
Tirek, probably, though only after he's engulfed magic; beforehand he sucks.
Attack with a laser, then glue him to the ground. Hit him as he suddenly and inexplicably ends up behind you. Use a shield spell to avoid the cotton candy he uses in an attempt to immobilize you.
Discord tries to make Nightshade join his side
Discord: Hello there little one, what's your name?
Nightshade: Nightshade
You: Don't you talk to her!
Discord: (snaps his fingers and you lose your voice and can't move) Grownups or talking
NightShade: Daddy?
Discord: Aww Aren't you Adorable, you know you remind me of a certain moony princess that went nuts and tried to kill her own sister.
Nightshade: (Recoils) I don't like you very much
Discord: You sure about that? (Snaps fingers and cookies and other treats appear causing Night Shade's eyes to dilate and widen)
How about you join me in chaos? We've Got Cookies!
She jumps out and starts munching on all the treats faster than even Discord can believe till she sits holding her swollen belly and relaxes
Discord: My My My,, what an appetite. (He places a hand on her head) you can have all these and more if you just go rebellious teenager on your dad over there (she starts to turn gray)
You are furious, but still can't move, but luckily the DFV helps
DFV: GET THAT THING AWAY FROM OUR DAUGHTER!!!!
Her added anger causes the tails to appear and they slingshot you at Discord in a high speed Psycho Crusher
Before you hit you Briefly think aloud: WAIT! OUR Daughter?
You'll have to think on this later as you slam into Discord and knock him off before Night Shade becomes completely gray.
You tell her to get to safety as you continue hitting Discord
For the fight, at one point something like this should happen between Bugzy's dark powers and Discord's Chaos
There should also be a random Dance Battle in the middle with Disco lights and everything
Also at some point, Bugzy should be overwhelmed by Giant Long Legged Rabbits that he has fight off like Neo vs the Smiths in Matrix Reloaded.
When the Mane 6 Return with the Elements of Harmony, you and Discord have kind of been neck and neck the whole time, which means both of you are breathing heavily. The girls start to charge up
In a last ditch effort he teleports Night Shade Back into his arms before they fire.
Night Shade: DADDY!!!
You: NO!!!
Discord: Drop the Elements Girls. If I get stoned, so does the little brat!
Twilight: Put her down Discord!
Discord: I don't think so, you see I'd rather not be turned into a statue again, and your elements can't distinguish between different evils
YOU: SHE'S NOT EVIL!!!
Discord: Oh please, what could be more Evil than the unholy spawn of a Changeling and the Darker Half of Luna's soul?
DFV: KILL HIM!!!!
You: Please! Girls! Don't Fire!
The Mane 6 Power Down as they can't bring themselves to hurt a filly
Discord Begins to laugh in triumph, until Night Shade brings out your can of WD-40 and sprays it in Discord's eye
Discord: OW OW OW OW OW!!!!
He drops Night Shade and she runs to your arms.
You: That's my girl (you smile at her)
The girls recharge and shot their Friendship Rainbow death weapon at Discord
Discord: Oh you little...Uh-Oh! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (Stoned)
Then start cheering to the heavens with everyone else that you lucked out and won.
4981798 ah, but one of the elements are highly experienced in cartoon logic.
the most OP thing in MLP, in my opinion, is Pinkie Pie's Party Cannon. That thing comes out of nowhere and can either decorate an entire room, or obliterate an enemy with a single blast.

As Discord and Bugze start their duel of fates (while Duel of the Fates from Star Wars starts www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2mO4ZHWK-U), Discord grabs an assist trophy from your favorite fighting Neightendo game, Super Smash Mares Brawl. A Knuckle Joe jumps out and starts to attack Bugze with his Vulcan Jabs attack. Discord uses other assist trophies to attack Bugze for him. Bugze finally gets to a trophy only for it to be Tingle and he trows banana peels out. Discord is floating so it does not affect him...but it does affect Bugze, as he slips around on banana peels.

Attempt game playing logic.
"Hey! The game doesn't allow new players in until the fight is over!"
"Oh? But you've been carrying her in that bag of yours. Surely she's already part of this round."
Gotta think fast! Oh, you're going to hate yourself for doing something stupid involving your own daughter."Well, uh, that's 'cause she's been in the game all this time, Ehehehhe..." You laugh nervously. "She's my secret support!" You can't believe you're using that "support summon ability" game mechanic in Marvel vs Capcom for this.
"Ah! I see." You're screwed. "It wouldn't fair now that I now know your secret, wouldn't it? Well, since I'm generous, I'll show you mine." huh-wha? With a snap of his claws, a certain swirly-eyed, light purple pony with a headcap with propellers on top appeared in a flash.
"Daddy Discord! Are we playing a game?" she smiled brightly. Goodness she's cute.
"Why yes, my little abomination," Discord said. "In fact, we're doing a two player against him and somepony around your age." He rubbed the little one's head tenderly. Then he turned to you and your daughter. "Screwball, meet Nightshade and The Hooded Offender. Hooded Offender and Nightshade, meet Screwball, my daughter!"
"Hello, Nightshade! I hope you're enjoying Daddy's chaos today!"
"Hiya, Screwball! Yeah, today was delicious!" Nightshade replied.
"Are you a good player in these kinds of games? I like a good challenge."
The concept of playing a game along with somepony her age brought a spark to her eye, especially when it involves the type of games you've played. She proudly inherits your gamer instinct. Well, not genetically, but you at least rubbed off on her. I mean, you've been throwing references left and right in her presence.
"Game?! Can I play too?" she chirped as she gave you THOSE eyes.
"I-I, uh... I mean, you could, um..."
Two chaos causing beings with their respective spawns of disharmony. This can't be a coincidence, not with Lady Luck and Discord involved. Honestly, the concept of this scenario terrifies you for its potential to go wrong. What could you do now?
You're stumped. What have you done?
4981736 Gah! Wall of Text! It blocks the view of the beautiful night sky... How could I ever finish my sky portrait now? Woe is me!
You turn and run as fast you can. There is no way you're letting your daughter anywhere near this crazy thing. You're going to get her to safety--even Octavia's would be safer than here!--and then come back. All you have to do is run. Which you are. But you aren't moving. You look down and see the ground under your feet whirling around and around and around.
"Gotta say, this was a great idea!" You look over and see Discord running next to you. "After being stone for so long, my legs needed some stretching." He snaps his fingers and the ground stops, sending you tumbling forwards. "Now that the exercise is over, what say we get the introductions out of the way, hmm?"
---
"SHORYUKEN!"
Discord dodges your uppercut. Again. "No no no, H.O. That's the wrong move! I know I've been gone, but how does no one remember the combination?"
"Shut up and let me hit you already!"
He scoffs. "I will as soon as you get this move right. Now remember this time: crouch, crouch-forward, forward, and punch. Simple!"
"How in the name of Luna am I supposed to crouch forward?"
"You don't. It's all in the timing." Discord barely moves, but thrusts both of his arms forward. "HADOUKEN!"
The blue fireball launched from his hands slams into you and sends you flying. A rope wraps around you and stops you cold. Discord drags you back with a cry of, "Get over here!"
"That's the wrong series!"
"Of course it is!" He throws you up in the air and teleports above you. "I'm Discord!" He transforms into a hundred ton weight and drops on top of you, sending you both plummeting down.
You crash and get buried deep into the ground. "You're eating too much cake with Celestia, H.O. How did you get all the way down here? I'm as light as a feather!" You groan and look at your chest. The massive weight has been replaced with a Lego brick.
Those mares better hurry up...
4983938 umm.... You could probably just move to that giant hill over there... Its just two miles away....
4982455 ok, its fixed now, o also added new stuff.
4984880 oh. Okay. Thanks!
Discord says "Join the Dark Side, we have Pie!"
Nightshade accepts, Bugze shouts Noooooo
Tirek is OP.
Most OP thing, elements of harmony...hey there's a bad guy, let's just zap em' with lasers made out of friendship and rainbows
Most OP thing: rainbow power. Tirek had literally all of the magic, including the power of 4 alicorns and a god of chaos, and was defeated with ease by the rainbow power.
♫Disco-ord,
I'm howling at the moon!
And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon!♫
