The Tyrant That Was A Hero! Twilight Sparkle Sees The Truth!
Discord wondered if it was always leading up to this moment. All those eons of mayhem and chaos, turning all manners of creatures on each other, causing and watching the fall of nations, of seeing so many species rise to prominence and then become extinct.
All that time of never knowing or even caring where he had come from, who he was or how he came to be, had it all been leading to this moment?
It had all been so simple; He had been reveling in his victory, over the end of Harmony and turning all of the bearers of the Elements on each other, when he decided to 'checkup' on Twilight Sparkle. Maybe give her a "lift" out of town? Maybe with Pinkie Pie's party cannon? It had been a thought, right up there with getting an Ursa Major to ride a giant unicycle upside down while juggling a few Ursa Minors with its hind legs…or maybe Hydras? Maybe both, depended on how many cubs the first mother he found had.
It was on that particular note that he popped up right in front of Twilight Sparkle. Right as she was performing a memory spell on Rainbow Dash.
There was a very fleeting yet long moment where Discord decided that Twilight Sparkle was a true idiot. This particular memory spell was all kinds of dangerous for a mortal mare like herself. It had a big chance for her mind to be contaminated with some of the personality and memories of her target, and she was using this on five ponies? Then again, the Elements and them being friends probably either helped dull the effects or somehow turned it into a positive thing.
Now, unfortunately, Twilight was getting a flash show of his mind and life journey. He could literally feel her mind cracking under the sheer magnitude of his mentality and memories. Sure, it wasn't like she was seeing everything in crystal clear detail. If anything, it was in fast-forward, or fast rewind rather, but it was infinitely more than she could have ever prepared for.
Oh, and she just got by the ice age when he ran with the colossal and corporeal ancestors of the Windigos…fun times.
He might actually apologize to Celestia for this one. All jokes aside, he never had any intention of breaking Twilight Sparkle. Well, more like no intention of shattering her mind into a deranged, catatonic, or comatose mare, but his point still stands. Everypony, actually, everybody was boring when they got like that.
And now she's crying from mental overload. Swimming. Oh, and how ironic, she was getting into a lengthy aquatic phase of his life. He could still taste the salt water.
Actually, this is probably how a bookworm like Twilight wanted to go out: a mental collapse under the weight of too much knowledge being absorbed at once. Sure, it was knowledge obtained from his experiences, but she was getting to see what the world was like before modern ponykind. She got to see things she couldn't even dream of in her last conscious moments before her mind broke.
Ahh, now they're getting to the earliest days of his memories...Actually, he really hoped this spell didn't make him revert back into that form, now that he thought about it. Sure, the look on Celestia's face would be priceless as he bloated out the sun with his mass alone, but it would probably kill everyone in Ponyville and in the Everfree for that matter. Seriously, sentient life these days was far too fragile.
He chuckled in his mind as he saw Twilight fall through the maelstrom that was his life and hit the solid wall of nothingness that was his past. Maybe that would snap her out of whatever break down she was having before it was too late. Ohhh, if he played his cards right, he might end up making her into HIS protégé. While he wasn't out to steal students like that, it'd probably be for the best now if Twilight came around to his way of thinking. And he could stand to have an assistant- he would have placed more bets on Luna or Pinkie, but Celestia's 'golden mare' would do.
*Crink*
Hmm?
Discord rose a curious mental eyebrow as he look back at Twilight, seeing her lying flat and motionless against the solid black barrier to his past. He never knew what lay beyond there, but after it resisted some moderate attempts to unlock it, he never felt the urge to find out. After all, he couldn't change the past, one of the very few things outside his power and this way he could give any back-story to himself without technically lying under the Schrodinger rule: Until such time he remembers his past, any version he gives is both true and false.
Still, why wasn't she moving? Why hadn't she faded away from his mind?
Bringing his mental form to her side, he went physically and mentally wide eyed at the sight. Twilight's horn had pierced the wall, leaving white cracks around it. Her eyes were wide with a distant and glazed over look to them, but no longer were they overwhelmed by the raw information she had tried to process. Instinctively curious by his very nature, Discord gently grasped onto Twilight and pulled her back. Her horn slid out with ease, making several glass-like shards of the white-edged black material to break off and float weightlessly with the still paralyzed Twilight, who was half way curved in on herself.
All this time and it only took the mental projection of a unicorn horn to pierce this? Well, a unicorn that was the Element of Magic and personally trained by Celestia since she was a foal and...Discord suddenly realized, of course Twilight Bucking Sparkle would be the one to do it. It couldn't have been more fitting even if she had been an Alicorn.
Discord studied the hole for a moment, contemplating his next action. Then he shrugged with a grin as he plucked out his left eye with his eagle talons, "Well, time to sneak a peek at my past!" He decided as he stuck his arm through the hole, "Hmm, a sewer? How boring," He drawled with a bored frown as he moved his blinking eye around to take in the dreary and damp mindscape, "Really, I could take a hellscape, but a sewer? No wonder I blocked off this place- should have put a stinky note in case I forgot why it was here. Still, is this some kind of cosmic joke that my material is shit?" He asked with a scowl before smiling widely, "Actually, I like that: it means the universe is sharing its sense of humor with me," He joked with a chuckle, "Still, Celestia Junior must have sensed something in here to keep her from breaking do-"
"Lo-...No...-obe."
"Nar-...so hap-...-sed...-ch"
"Ga-...took...-ough."
"Bos-!...-ack!"
"Trou-...-some."
"Won-...-av-...-kage."
"Nana-...-sama...-derful...you."
"...What in Tartarus?" He said with a scowl as he heard numerous voices echoing through the unexplored area of his mind…many...happy voices, at that. They were almost...familiar. But there wasn't anyone in his memories who would speak to him like that. As if he were a...friend, "Me, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, have friends? Pfft, yeah right. As if that would ever happen," He scuffed under his breath, almost looking offended by the concept as he pulled his arm back and plopped his eye back in, glaring at the hole, "And even I did, it wasn't me. It wasn't Discord. It was...whoever I took over for..." He grumbled with his arms crossed.
He suddenly shook his head, looking annoyed with himself, "Oh, get a grip Discord, old boy. So you found buried memories to go through. Save it for another time. Counting Spark-Siri here, go of roku elements had been restored, dattebayo! You...need..." His voice came to a crawl, his eyes wide, "Nani...what did I just say?" He asked himself, his tail twitching nervously as he wiped his lion paw over his face, "I...I think I need a drink," He muttered as he puffed himself a glass of chocolate milk.
Or, he thought he did. The instant it touched his lips, he realized something was wrong. The glass was much too large and rounded and its content was hot with a meaty flavoring. He blinked as he looked at it and saw it, "...Ramen?" He asked in surprised, "You know...I don't remember the last time I had this stuff. Or when I ever tried it to begin with," he mused to himself, pausing before looking back at the hole.
Somehow, he wasn't surprised to see a blue eye peeking through the hole and staring back at him.
Actually, strike that, it wasn't looking at him. It was looking at the whirlpool of memories howling past him. Discord smirked at that, glancing over his shoulder at that, "Yeah, you missed a lot, Jiji-me," Discord joked, scowling as his words registered again, "Darn, my tongue is treacherous today. Have to get that fixed later," He mused, cocking an eyebrow as he heard a small chuckle from the entity, "Oh, so I did always have a sense a humor. Good to know," Discord commented with a chuckle of his own, "Still, as interesting as this is, you'll have to sumimasen, I have to make sure this little mare doesn't try to put me...well, us, back in ishi," he said with a wave before turning to Twilight, no longer caring about his changing tongue, "Now, let's have a look at just how much of your chisel is left," He mused with a dark smirk as he placed a talon on her head...and blinked as he saw it.
A bipedal race of mystic apes blessed with wisdom and ignorance, peace and war, in equal measures. He saw the giant beasts they formed alliances with, the sentient creatures of pure magic they tried to weaponize, the way they could wield the elements and enhance their bodies. He saw everything.
But why this? Why did his memories focus on this little village with faces carved into the mountain behind it? Why this old man with a white and red hat, or the other old one with horns? Why this cyclops with a hidden face, or the dead eyed red head? Why that scowling duck-haired male with the pink haired female and the dark haired ape-filly? Why this pale eyed woman? Why this blond man with...blue eyes...
Was that him? Was this his home? Was this his...
Why...why did...why did he...
Why did he feel so empty all of a sudden? Like he was missing something?
*CRACK!*
Discord went wide eyed again as the entire black barrier behind him gained a spider web of white cracks, the shards filling the void between the barrier and his memories. And all the while, that blue eye watched him.
Actually...it wasn't looking at him anymore.
He turned around, slowly...and was immediately head-butted by Twilight Sparkle.
Meanwhile
To the outside observers, it all happened in a split second. One minute they had Rainbow Dash tied down and secured, the next Discord popped right in front of Twilight's spell, both of them staring wide eyed at each other.
Before they could react, however, a dull hum filled the air and all at once, a shockwave erupted from the point where Twilight's horn touched Discord's forehead. The wave of orange and purple energy sent them flying as it spread over the land, dispelling Discord's chaotic alterations to the land in a great gust of wind.
"What the buck just happened!?" Applejack exclaimed as she rolled over, scowling at the loss of her hat but putting that aside for now, the dust still clearing.
"Oii...what happened?" Rainbow Dash groaned as she sat up on her haunches.
"Dashie! You're not grey anymore!" Pinkie cheered as she glomped her instantly.
Rainbow raised an eyebrow at the pink mare before looking to Applejack, "...Were we fighting a really messed up looking dragon-horse-chimera with chaos powers, or did I just drink too much cider?" She asked slowly.
"I'm afraid it was real, Dear," Rarity assured, brushing some dirt out of her mane, "Going to take all night to clean this all out..." She muttered.
"Does anyone see Twilight? Or Discord?" Fluttershy asked in concern.
Applejack trailed closer into the dust, squinting her eyes as she tried to make out a shape. She soon came across the unconscious and serpentine form of Discord, the seemingly omnipotent being looking defenseless, "I found Bucktooth!" Applejack called, scowling down at the chimeric body, "Lousy varmint," She muttered, contemplating kicking him.
Rainbow Dash didn't bother contemplating it though, "Ha! Not so tough now, eh ya mismatched flankhole," Rainbow Dash taunted, about to give him a good whack upside the head, Fluttershy too far away still to stop her.
"Hotto..."(Leave...)
The familiar voice, in a strangely angry and wild tone, was enough to halt Rainbow's assault, making her and the others look up to see Twilight Sparkle coming out of the smoke, her head low as she glared ahead.
"Twilight! You're okay!" Pinkie Pie greeted happily, "And look, we didn't even need the elements to stop big old meany pants!" She pointed out, moving to hold up Discord's head by the horns for emphasis.
Pinkie went wide eyes when she looked back to Twilight, only to find the mare charging her, slamming into the party pony and sending her flying several feet back with a pulse of magic from her horn, "Hottoke-yo!" She bellowed, almost as great as the Royal Canterlot voice.(Leave him alone!)
"What the Tartarus, Twilight?! Why did you do that?!" Rainbow yelled as Fluttershy and Rarity ran to check on Pinkie.
The unicorn just glared at the Pegasus, standing protectively over Discord's neck, daring her to step closer, "Baka Niji," She muttered in distaste.(Idiot Rainbow)
"Baka Niji? What the buck does that mean?" Rainbow asked, glaring in confusion.
"Twilight, what in tarnation was that? Ya just attacked Pinkie!" Applejack said, Twilight turning to all but growl at her.
"I'm okay! Just a little...spinny...," Pinkie assured, her eyes spinning about before she righted herself, Fluttershy checking her for wounds.
"Damare!" Twilight yelled with a scowl, sending a pulse of magic out that ruffled Rainbow's feathers and almost blew away Applejack's hat. She seemed oddly unsatisfied with that.(Shut up!)
"...AJ, you think the big guy made Twilight a little screwy?" Rainbow whispered to the farmer.
"Best guess I got, partner," Applejack said with a shrug.
"Urusai...," The disgruntled voice of Discord said with a groan as he started to move, Twilight quickly stepping aside to let him sit up shakily.(Noisy...)
"Oh horsefeathers, he's awake!" Rainbow cursed, tensing for a fight, "Twilight, come on, we need to use the Elements!"
"Damare!" Twilight yelled again, facing Discord calmly, "Nemui?" She asked with a smirk.(Shut up! Sleepy?)
"Baka!" Discord snapped unsteadily, his tail slamming with a resound smash onto the floor. She didn't even flinch, "Anata wa nani shite kuretenno!" He yelled angrily, clutching one side of his face.(Idiot! What have you done!?)
"There's that word again," Rainbow muttered, eyeing Discord warily, "Anypony got ANY idea what they're saying?"
"Rars? That some really fancy talk by any chance?" Applejack asked hopefully.
"Unfortunately, none that I know of," Rarity admitted, watching the situation with a bit of fear for Twilight. The look in Discord's eye did not bode well for them.
Twilight chuckled a bit as she bowed her head in respect, "Hajimemeshite, Kono Yo no Kyuseishu," She greeted with a smirk on her face.(Pleasure to meet you, Savior of this World.)

I, wait, you, what, uh, how did- REALLY? Wow, uh, shit, you have my attention with that synopsis. I'll give this a read later, just because you legitimately caught me off guard with that.
EDIT: So, uh.....wow. Okay, you had my attention before, and now you've grabbed it full-on. Cripes, I have no gods-damned clue as to what's going on with Twi, and Discord...actually, is it still Discord, or is he Naruto now? Or, wait, he was already Naruto before and then he turned into Discord, but then how did-?
Know what? I'll stop trying to figure that out. I'm sure it'll be explained eventually.
7413668
I agree with you, I can say with 100% certainty I have not once seen a fic with this concept and I have seen many fics on this site.
Definitely going to read this later.
Awesome idea. I mean now that i've read this I question why no one's thought of this before. Can't wait to see where you go with this. Something tell's me Discord isn't going to become like his old self easily. Can't wait to see how everyone will react when Twilight tell's them about Discords past.
7413668
7413676 I concur, this is very strange.
more.. just.. more.. I AM LIKEING THIS!
Oooh this is going to be good. Bet twilight 2.0 is going to butt heads with sunbutt.
Ok...ok..OK YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION!!
You sir have got a like, and follow of this unique story that you wrote.
Interesting... very interesting. This story certainly has potential to go places. I hope the author decides to roll with it, because I do believe it's a unique Naruto crossover premise, and that's saying something considering all the unique ideas I'm aware of from it.
It makes so much the number one surprise ninja is the number surprise being
I'd like to know how Naruto ascended to Discord. It's the Shivering Isles all over again.
Great story and looking forward to more. I'm surprised "urusai" was used as "noisy." I was taught it usually means something along the lines of 'be quiet' or 'shut up' depending on how forcefully it's said.
7414199 Christ RIGHT?!
7416508 You know who I'm talking about, right?
7416599 Of course, the shivering isles oblivion dlc. i know exactly what you mean.
7416681 I kinda know about it from a daedric quest in skyrim. So the idea of Discord having mortal origin like Sheo isn't too far off.
ahaha holly crap xD i really didnt expect a Naruto Crossover here haha
i have to say this is interesting
i love naruto and i love Discord
but as a crossover? hm not really sure yet
since i normally really dont like crossover mlp fics
but ill keep tracking it and i wanna see where this goes
oh and i loved the interaction between Twilight and Discord :D even if its not much yet but so cool ^^
#DiscolightOTP
Hmmm.... Decided to actually give this a shot. I am... intrigued. Not sure why it has so many downvotes. The only thing I can think of is Twilight's sudden change in personality. Even if she is more protective of Discord now that she's seen the past... I'm not sure why she's so aggressive and rude to her friends. THAT is the bit I don't get. Being a bit more protective of him? Yeah, sure. Saying they're Noisy and are idiots? That doesn't strike me as Twilight. It's almost like Twilight's now a fusion of herself and young/impulsive Naruto... which I'm not sure I like.
Still though, the idea is interesting. So I'll watch this story for now and hope to see an update soon.
Sadly, I'm thinking we probably won't see any further updates for this. You have a long record of posting one chapter to a story... then never posting another after that.
I'm vary interested in the story keep up a good work update soon naruto is discord this story is perfect I can't wait to see what happens next. Question will this be a discord and twilight pairing? Just wondering. Updated soon
7425118 Actually, in the story Discord said the memory spell Twilight used was dangerous because the user could become tainted with the recipient's personality.
And I know what you mean, I checked his FanFiction page, and he only has 5 completed stories, only one of which is more than 1 chapter long.
7442110
ALL his stories show as incomplete to me. None are completed.
And the spells recipient in this case, was Discord, not Twilight. In which case it would be Discord influenced by Twilight's personality, not the reverse.
7442110
7442466
Coolosus is actually right. Twilight would be influenced by Discord-Naruto's personalities and memories, not the opposite.
And yes, I know I have a lot of fics. I go where my muse takes me- last time I tried to force it, I couldn't write for nearly a year and what I got out before that set in was subpar in my own opinion. I don't abandon fics, but I do let them marinate and age until their ready.
Will this be continued?
love it pleas make more
UPDATE PLEASE!?
Update please.
Now this is one fic that a lot of people would just die for an update
I really really liked how the chapter went and I can't wait for the next chapter to be really.
MOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like your Discord/Twilight thing, they can make such interesting friends and I have never before read a story where Naruto eventually became Discord so I hope you get back to writing this.
Are you even alive?
Oh my glob this is amazing!! Holy heck I can't wait for more!
7442671
Is it safe to assume that this story is dead?
8461736
This story isn't dead. It hasn't been too long past one year. I consider a story dead when it has been left alone for ten years, or the author chose to leave the site forever.
8504486
Also, the Author just updated "Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo" on Fanfiction.net today.
8504486
Even if his other stories are still updating That doesn't really mean this story isn't dead
That logic applies to an author in fan fiction.net
And his name is NeonZangetsu
The comparison or more specifically the one who is being used as the comparison should make it obvious as to WHY that logic is a bit flawed
8507695
Which is why I added the other two qualifiers for my opinion as to when a story should be considered dead.
The mention of 'DV:HoN' was me attemping to promote said story for those who like this author.
This story is also on FanFiction.net. That is similar to 'Quantum Castaways' by DustTraveler (I hope I'm spelling it right). I say similar because he (DT) decided to stop updating it on FanFiction.net.
Anyways, even if this story is dead, that doesn't mean it wouldn't be worth reading. When I read a story to it's stop, I like to then imagine what the rest of the story would be like.
And about the time between updates, there have been many stories that have a year or longer gap between updates.
I really like this story and I hope it doesn't die. Please update?
If the author is short on ideas, then I've got one word for you. Reincarnation. Reincarnation is a prominent belief in Eastern cultures and a fun literary device to play with in my own opinion. My theory is that when Twilight headbutted Discord into his past, his memories triggered her own past life's memories. And the influx of new memories to process disoriented her and she probably thinks that she's her past life.
If I were to guess who she was, my first guess would be Shikamaru. She's certainly a genius though not lazy and I could definitely see her playing chess. Plus Shikamaru became assistant to the Hokage, both the sixth (Kakashi) and seventh (Naruto) so it makes sense to me that if Shikamaru's memories woke up and he found himself in a strange place surrounded by strange creatures acting threateningly towards a being that he/she knew was Naruto that he'd react the same way.
Of course, this is all a theory and if the author feels that there is someone better suited to be Twilight's past incarnation then so be it. The one match up that I think is perfect is Fluttershy/Hinata. Hinata and Fluttershy share so many traits that it could work. Both Flutters and Hinata are shy but they work very hard to overcome their shortcomings and issues to improve. They're still soft-spoken and quiet, but when push comes to shove, you can bet that both will stand by their friends and family in times of need. Plus I kinda like the Fluttercord ship.
Sup? Mind explaining why you haven't updated this fanfic?
7442671
Please say u have not forgotten or not doing this story no more please
Welp 2 years of inaction
This story is definitely dead
hey do you mind if I use this idea for a fanfiction?
8766005
You know, maybe I'll try this as well. Like I said earlier, reincarnation is a fun literary device to me and I've never had a reason to try toying with the concept before.
Where do I put the quarters to keep this ride going?
...Why hadn't I found this before now? And why the hell is there only one chapter?! I need MOAR, dammit!
Two years... I had my doubts, but this story is not dead yet. This pleases me. :)
