Sequels1

T
Source

Shining Armor gets a letter from Princess Celestia, asking him to Canterlot. There, he learns that Discord -- a creature that is the living embodiment of chaos -- has returned after a thousand years. Now he and his friends must use The Elements of Harmony to stop Discord from turning Equestria upside down (possibly in a very literal sense).

There's only one major problem: The Elements are missing.

Start of Season 2 of "Friendship is Shining."

Nice chapter. Thanks for the continuation of this series. I was wondering if their would be an update soon.

We're back, Muthaf**ka's!!! :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

It's ba-ack! Why is Twilight missing the field trip? Wonder what sorta chaos Discord is going to whip up this time? I somewhat doubt it'll be exactly the same as canon ...

5353257
She's in a different class with the Cake Twins since the three of them are a year younger than the original Cutie Mark Crusader members.

5353340 *facehoof* That's right. I forgot. It's been a while since I read the season 1 stuff ... maybe even since back when I was a lurker.

i really like it hope to read more soon

Standing on it was what looked like an ordinary stallion.

Well... not quite ordinary. For the most part, it looked like a normal pony.

Except that Shining Armor would swear that his eyes yellow and red.

The stallion looked directly at Shining Armor and grinned.

A crowd of ponies suddenly moved past the strange stallion, blocking him from Shining Armor's view.

When the crowd was gone, so was he. Shining Armor stared at the spot a moment longer before continuing toward the exit.

Who was that?

I bet that was Discord. :pinkiegasp: Am I right, Hopeful? :rainbowhuh:

Sweet. Nice part with the chocolate chip mint Snow. That was ingenious.

5356478 Perhaps it's him trying to see what he's up against? As the old saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Ice cream snow ... glad to see Discord showing a bit of variation. Cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk (say that three times fast!) are fun, but they're almost expected on here, and chaos implies variation. Now watch him have a few flakes that are wasabi flavored or something. Let ponies think he's a chaotic sugar daddy, then WHAM! mouth-blisteringly potent surprise right to the tongue. Or maybe even just have EVERY flavor possible (think Bertie Botts beans from Harry Potter), all a uniform green, and Shiny just lucked out.

Edit: Even so, food falling from the sky is still fairly mundane.

5360088 That's just like Discord, to make you think things are just a little out of normal, and then "Bam!" he shows you just how far down the rabbit hole his world is.

Twily, one of these days your love of science is going to get you into serious trouble.

I have nothing to say, but Good Work. :twilightsmile:

D'awwwwww! Twily and Pound are so cute here ... I expect she'll probably be better adjusted socially than Canon!Twilight, though just as nerdy. I wonder what her tests will show about the cotton candy clouds. I almost expect Discord to put some laxatives or something in them.

5380428 Nah, Discord might be chaotic, but he's not one to hide surprises in his own work.

Nice chapter, but I found a couple of minor things you may want to edit.

Pounds experience with regular clouds admittedly was limited, but it still felt different.

That should be "Pound's".

"Well no that I have a piece," Twilight said as she took it from Pound Cake, "I can take it down to Shiny's lab and run some more tests on it."

And that should be "now".

5381598 Yeah, he isn't ... he's almost too straightforward in a lot of ways ... it's almost like he's a child ...

I loved the dirty mind of Rainbow Dash. Great chapter. I can't wait to read the next part.

I found one more very minor thing you may want to edit.

"Pounds right. It's just sugar. Like the last time we went to the circus."

Princess Celestia approached the door and lowered her head. Her horn began to glow with golden energy as she summoned her magic. Taking a step forward, she inserted her horn into the hole in the door.
"Goodness," Rarity cried out as she was smacked. "Rainbow Dash, do please control your wings."
"Oh," Rainbow Dash mumbled as she blushed. "Sorry." She let out a little chuckle as she retracted her wings back to her sides. Her eyes glanced over toward Shining Armor and his horn before returning her attention to Princess Celestia, who was currently pushing it deeper and deeper.

5384368 What could you possibly be implying? :scootangel:

5384418 Don't play innocent with me, or does the outstretched position of Rainbow Dash's wings mean nothing to you?

So Shiny didn't fall for the hedge maze ... hopefully they'll check the library - or at least Twily and Spike do. I'll admit that expecting them at the Old Castle makes a LOT of sense, though. Gotta love pervert!Dashie LOL ... and Pinkie is as always a hoot! Cola rains in Cloudsdale? Count me in! Just plain cola, or are there clouds raining cherry cola, vanilla cola, etc? Discord seems to really like playing with sugary foods ... maybe he really is a petulant child deep down ... emotionally speaking, he seems like he's on par with the Crusaders, if not a bit younger.

A single cake stands alone in the kitchens. Once he was the mightiest warrior of his people, before The Beast fell upon them. One by one, his kin fell prey to its insatiable appetite, leaving only himself left to seek vengeance.

There it sat, its bloated carcass coated in the crumbs and frosting of his brethren.

"Monster! Fiend from the blackest pits! I come for JUSTICE! All my people ever wanted was to live in peace... after we'd brutally conquered and enslaved your inferior race. For all your claims of righteousness, who's the REAL evil, animated foodstuff here?"

The Beast turned toward him and grinned. "Umm... you are."

And then it ate him.

5384440 I would like to point out that this story is technically rated Everyone, and I in no way shape or form can be responsible for any inferences made by the readers.

5384870 I can't take credit for the cola rains. I actually found it in the transcript of the episode when I was looking for the "twist and turns" riddle.

5385479 This sounds like it would be a great one-shot comedy. Wouldn't even need to be set in any particular universe.

Coming this summer, Princess Celestia stars in the action/horror/comedy event of the year: Attack of the Killer Cakes. Rated PG-13. Also, I found a very minor thing you may want to edit.

They seven of them went to a part that most of them were not familiar with.

5387213 With Simon Pegg as Captain Cake and Nick Frost as Private Cream

5387231 I wonder if someone will make an Attack of the Killer Tomatoes joke because of my reference.

Yeah, definitely Shining Armor's version of the event. Well Hopeful (knowing you/we haven't talked in a while), seems like your doing better with your stories, so try to go WAY hard (not too hard, just a little more perfect) with it and joy for it. That all and I bit you Good Luck old friend! :pinkiehappy:

Wow. I didn't see the train being Discord's new playground. Great job. I can't for the next chapter. thanks for the update.

The Chaos Train? Oh that's bad, cause there ain't no brakes. And the ride never ends. :twilightoops:

I had to ... couldn't help myself.

Seriously, I love Discord using the train as a repeat hedge maze. And Pinkie channeling him? Epic!

Riley (From The Boondocks): Holy sh*t! :pinkiegasp:

I think I got a surprised look on face here, Hopeful. Keep up the good work, my man! :twilightsmile:

(How are you doing so far Hopeful? Haven't talk to you in weeks and last year.)

5486304 Oh, it ends alright :scootangel:

5487404 Pinkie didn't actually get to channeling him. It would have done no good anyways.

5488284 A lot of readers seemed surprised :pinkiehappy:
As for me: spent new years sick, and currently dealing with cold, wet weather. Otherwise fine.

5488299 Been a little sick myself (not a lot). From the cold and all, and I to is fine. :twilightsmile:

5488299 Well, the fact that she even tried is pretty damn impressive in my book.

There's a very minor thing you may want to edit, there's a spot where you have two periods.

Without thinking about it, he rubbed the side of his neck while considering Rarity's question..

Hmmm ... the apple of Discord ... interesting ...

That is a good twist. I liked the Appldeni part. Also the Apple Didn't lie. That is impressive. Great job.

There's a very minor thing you may want to edit, you wrote "of" at one point instead of "off".

She tossed the top hat into the trunk and started to take of the tuxedo.

What would have been a nice trick, no pun intended, if she turned the top hat inside out and it became her real hat. Nice job with the apple though

Almost expected Discord to pull a pandora's box there for a second.

That was good rarity. I loved the idea of a rare fabric. Good luck with the next chapter. Great job.

Like it says for the them of this Fanfic: Alternate Universe. But I don't have to say that, Do I? :pinkiesmile:

Now there are some who loves Discord and those who hate Discord. Now I don't really care what side I'm on when it comes to fans liking this character or that character. Alright, back to this story, people, those who hate this are a**holes! :twilightangry2: (no offense to those who, like me, don't care what side to choose) Now those who like this story, and me who also like this story, are the lucky bastards, and are the awesomeness ones. Keep encouraging and supporting Hopeful for his hard work! :twilightsmile: :rainbowdetermined2: :pinkiehappy:

Keep it up, Hopeful! :twilightsmile: (And if you're reading this, please don't be mean, I'm just trying to encourage and support you on your stories. :twilightsheepish:)

Make a hat out of it, Rarity. You'll block Discord's mind rays. :pinkiecrazy:

Seriously, great chapter there.

Fabric. A far superior choice than a gem stone:raritystarry:

Poor Tom just got written out of the story. :fluttercry:

Discorded Rarity, you have a great greed within you. Welcome to the Orange Lantern Corps.
