The Return of Discord

EPILOGUE


"AAARGHH! HELP!!" screamed Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie, as they were cornered onto a huge boulder thanks to the hungry, growling Timber Wolves.

The Timber Wolves closed in, and just before they pounced, a familiar voice to both the Wolves and the Cutie Mark Crusaders whined.

"You three? Again?"

The trio looked up to the voice and there was Warden Discord, lying on the rock and was rather annoyed, "It's the third time this month, Crusaders. Honestly, it's as if you want to be devoured!"

"We're sorry, Warden Discord!" said Applebloom.

"We just wanted to try to be Timber Wolf whisperers!" said Scootaloo.

"But I think we just made them mad," said Sweetie Belle.

"They're not the only ones..." muttered Discord, and conjured a water pistol.

He squirted at them with its incredibly powerful water stream, which sent the yelping Timber Wolves packing. "Shoo! Shoo! Run along now doggies!"

Once they ran far off, he leaped off the boulder to confront the fillies. "Now what do you say to the Warden of this Forest whom you have greatly bothered in his research?"

"We're sorry," the trio said, head held down.

"Now that that's done... who wants to go on a magic Draconequus ride?"

"YAY! WE DO! WE DO!"


Whilst the fillies hung onto his back as he flew, Applebloom asked, "Hey Discord, what do the two rings on your claw hand mean? If they have a meanin' that is,"

"They in fact do, little Applebloom. This one here is the one Princess Celestia gave to me when we married. And this big one here is what the Canterlot guards uses to keep track of me, and if I'm being naughty, zap me with potent anti-chaos magic!"

"Oh my! That sounds painful!" said Sweetie Belle, "Have you gotten zapped before?"

"Once, when I tried to sneak into Celestia's room when I hadn't informed the guards about it yet,"

"What happened then?" asked Scootaloo.

"Let's just say I smelt good to carnivores for weeks,"


After dropping the Cutie Mark Crusader off at the Everfree Forest's edge that was by Fluttershy's house, Fluttershy approached him.

"Oh, oh dear," she muttered as the playful fillies ran past her, "They went inside again, didn't they?"

"I really should just let one of the many ravenous creatures of the Everfree take a small nip at them, just to really keep them away!" Discord snapped sharply.

Fluttershy gasped, "You wouldn't! ...would you?"

Discord raised an eyebrow at her.

Then he smiled, which gave Fluttershy a sigh of relief.

"So then, any new news from Ponyville?" asked Discord. Thanks to her close proximity with the Forest and her kindly disposition, Fluttershy became Discord's unofficial courier and spokespony.

"Nothing new, well, umm, Twilight did try one of the chaos spells that you taught her just hours ago!"

"She blew something up again, didn't she?"

"Actually, she turned Spike into a little colt, and he looked so cute as a pegasus!"

"Ah, well that's better news than usual!"

"Twilight's now a dragon however, and wants your help, when you have the free time that is... oh, and that magic diaper is also on her again! She quite upset about it, but I think she looks lovely!"

"...Celestia help us..."


After receiving permission from the guards to assist in Twilight (again), he called it a day and flew back to Canterlot to put some files back. He wasn't a fan of paperwork, but his wife said it's the responsible thing to do.

Which meant he'll leave a few slimy surprises or two for the researchers.

Once he got back to the castle, he saw Luna lowering the moon with her magic by her balcony.

He smirked, and silently flew behind. He was twenty trots behind her, conjured an air horn, and just before he could honk it, Luna completed her moon setting, turned as quick as a whip, and honked first.

"HOOOONNNK!!!"

And Discord slammed onto the balcony wall. He managed to utter whilst he painfully peeled himself off the concrete, "You do realize that one day, I will get you, right?"

"Likely story, Draconequus," said Luna flatly.

"So then, how are you and Mando doing?" he asked as he finally got his foot out.

"We are doing fine," she said, "Mando is treating me to dinner as his ringtone sales, as he says, are through the roof. Also, he said he will explain what ringtones are,"

"So then, little sister," Discord finds it hilarious how, even after a few months of him saying that, her eye still twitches, "When can we expect wedding bells, hmm?"

"In due time, Discord," she said, "There is... something I want to say to you, something Mando thought I should've told you earlier on,"

"Ooh, this should be good!"

Luna looked away and took a deep breath, and announced, "We wish to thank thee for assisting us in finding us a special somepony, somepony who hath brought much joy to mine life. For that, we will honor our familial relations by dubbing thee br- br-"

Luna struggled to get the word out, and tried desperately to go beyond 'br'. She sweated, she stomped, she flailed, until finally, her mouth blurted out:

"BROTHER!! WE ACKNOWLEDGE THEE AND WILL CALLEST THEE BROTHER!!!"

Luna was on the floor, panting, "That... was difficult,"

Discord threw his hands up, "Finally! Took you long enough! Well, it's worth the wait, I suppose, especially since the whole kingdom has heard it by-"

A large white streak flew towards them and grabbed the two in one swift swoop.

"Luna! I am so happy you have called Discord brother!" said Celestia happily, "Now we are a real family!!"

"Ack! Sister, let us go!"

"Wait just a moment, Luna, look!" Celestia levitated a camera before them.

"Tia, dearie, we have so many photos already!" whined Discord, "photos from our honeymoon, the time I got zapped, Luna's first kiss, our first gala dance-"

'And now we are celebrating the day Luna called you brother!" she replied happily.

"My heart aches with joy," stated Luna.

"Say cheese, everypony!" yelled Celestia.

And they did.

And the photo that went into Celestia's album was that of Celestia holding the two mid-air, whilst she planted a big wet kiss on a Discord caught off-guard, and Luna grimaced in disgust.



THE END. THANK YOU FOR READING EVERYPONY.

Final Author's notes:

1. Why MandoxLuna? It looks cute, that's all.
2. Do I think Discord will ever be paired with Tia in the future? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised, we know so little of the two, so the possibility is there.
3. Am I pumped for season 3? Can a pair of hands clap, OF COURSE I'M PUMPED!!
4. Would I like a cover of The Next Minutes with Discord and Celestia's voices? Yes, that would be nice, I'll even replace the link with the cover if it works!

And finally, I am looking for pre-readers with the objective of getting this onto EQD? Like, consulting, editing and the works? Anyone?

Happy writing everybody!

I am so full of feels and joy :pinkiehappy:

Mickeymonster? that guy is such a dumbass it makes me not wanna read this story. call me superficial if you like.

1554900 Any final notes and advice for the fic, Princess? Especially since I did ship you with Mando after all!

Teh wubs. I feelz them:pinkiehappy:
And Celestia's still a sloppy kisser:trollestia: Poor Discord.

I wish I could forget and read it again! You made the couple get together and have it feel right! Good job!:pinkiehappy:

I rememebr when this had just started! Very good end! Well done! :)

One question, won't Luna have to deal with the heartache of seeing Mando pass away while she stay young forever? That's my only question, btw awesome fiction. Kinda thought Celestia and Discord would go through couples counseling to sort through their issues, but a dinner did great otherwise.

I just read the whole thing, and it was adorable.

1555247 that sounds like a story for another time! Alternatively, Tia's funeral for plucky works just as well.

I thought about counseling but a dinner scene could allow for more shenanigans.

1555271 My only advice for EqD, they are not kind. They will reject your story the moment they see any character act out of place without proper reasoning and explanation. Expect criticism to be the harshest anyone has ever told you about. They see any spelling or grammar errors and it is sacked. Good luck my friend, you shall need it.

Wow, two new chapters in one day!

1555294
Isn't this already in their systems though? I could have sworn I'd seen a post containing this fic in the past.

EDIT: In other news, Mandopony gets paired with not only Canon characters but also writing staff! Shippers rejoice!

1555313 nope, I can confirm it has not. I would know, I wrote this.

I referenced a lot of fics though, like burlap, I like burlap.

Great story, loved the whole ride. There is one thing, of course, which I'm sure we're all wondering (unless I totally missed it being mentioned in one of the previous chapters, which is a possibility since its like 4am), about a vital plot element and subplot of great drama:

Did Twilight ever get that diaper off?

1555385 Ya know, I wondered that myself. :rainbowlaugh:
To Wasabt-beans: This was an amazing story, although I don't see why you'd want to potentially butcher it by submitting it to EqD. However, that is your decision, and I shall leave you to it. I eagerly await to see what you create next.:pinkiehappy:

Epic. I loved that story.

Only one thing can describe how I feel about this right now:

"...Celestia help us..."

Is it bad of me to have read that not in John de Lancie's voice, but in the voice of the Announcer from Portal 2?

Go to 8:07, you'll hear what I heard mentally. :D

This was so good. I'm so glad I found this story and the ending was so sweet

That was wonderful!
Excellent story my dear sir!
I look forward to perhaps a sequel!

Aww is it really over already? Ohh.. well it's been a fun time reading this story Wasabi! I have to say, this is one of my favourite fics that I have ever read! The moment I first saw this story I knew it was going to be something special. Well I would like to thank you with all my heart! :heart: Me and Mando huh? Hehe sounds.. interesting. Till next time, with love, your Princess, Luna.

Very fun story, I'm glad I was along for the ride.

HAPPIENESS!!!
LOVE!!!

This story was great, absolutely loved it.

1555327
references to mando, eurobeat, AND Tuxe?
Sweet Celestia, I love you bro.

this story needs a continuation, IMMEDIATELY!

This was awesome--every part of it. Celestcord forever. My only fear for this would be that the two, especially Discord, would be too OOC for me to like, but really, it was perfectly fine. Even Celestia going coo-coo for Discord was not annoying at all; I mean, behind that stoic mask must lie emotions, and I really like the drama that unfolded in this. With the hilarious comedy, spot-on characterization, and, of course, Celescord romance, I likey. :pinkiehappy:

1555692 Dammit nostalgia! Now I HAVE to re-play this game for like the 50TH TIME

Not bad, just... strange. :rainbowlaugh:

A bit of OoC-ness aside, this was a nice story, and had a lot of really good moments! :yay:

Awww!
I love happy endings!
:yay:

loved it, even the semi corny hollywood ending, loved it :rainbowkiss:
