Chapter 6 - A whole new world.
“There, there, my dear. I’m here now,” Discord says as he comforts his best friend with gentle pats on her back. “Sorry I’m late, dear Fluttershy. Lulu had me running some errands for her.” The draconequus snaps his finger once more as he and Fluttershy disappears and reappears with the rest of the group.
“Discord! I’m so happy you’re here!” Twilight exclaims as she and the others rush to Discord and trap him in a group hug, showering him with praise and gratitude.
Celebes wasn’t among them, but she couldn’t help but shake the feeling that this being was familiar. The Lord of Chaos managed to escape the others as he snapped his eagle’s talon and appeared next to the Dryad. Celebes takes notice, and after staring for a few seconds, a sudden realization comes to her as she says:
“Wait a second, aren’t you Disidian the-”
“Shhhh, don’t call me that here. Besides, that’s just one of my many aliases,” Discord says with a whisper as he cuts her off by putting his lion’s paw to her mouth. “And save the sentiments, please. I’ve already got quite the handful.”
The draconequus then turns his gaze to the eldritch and narrows his eyes as the Moon Lord recovers.
“Now then, ‘MoOn LoRd,” The draconequus emphasizes by forming quotations with his lion’s paw and eagle’s talon. “Arrogant name, by the way.”
If one were to listen closely, the words ‘You’re one to talk.’ could faintly be heard from someone in the group behind Discord and Celebes. The draconequus’s pupils glow red as pink clouds begin forming around the entire area, with chocolate rain.
Pinkie Pie was the only being present who loved the new weather they were having.
“How dare you try to take, Fluttershy!” Discord yells in anger as lightning flashes from his pink clouds, and he starts to laugh maniacally:
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
“INSOLENT WORM! YOU WILL DIE FOR THIS!” Razeem roars as he clutches his right hand into a fist and launches it toward discord.
However, at the very last second, the draconequus pops out of reality as the titanic fist misses its mark. The force of Razeem’s swing sends a hurricane-like force throughout the atmosphere, blowing away all of Discord’s pink clouds. Celebes was fortunate to see this coming as she erupts a barrier to protect everyone from being blown away. The force even causes the mountain below them, the same one Twilight and the others used to take to the skies, to crumble and leave behind a large crater where it once stood.
Discord pops back into reality as he continues to antagonize Razeem.
“Ooooh, I always wanted to use this quote,” Discord claps his eagle’s talon and lion’s paw in excitement before he clears his throat and makes his voice sound deeper.
“Razeem, I’ve come to bargain.”
“BE GONE, TRICKSTER!”
Razeem swings at the draconequus again, causing the chaos lord to pop out of reality. Yet again, Discord re-appears. However, this time, there’s not just one draconequus, but fifty of them. All of whom continue to mock Razeem by shouting in unison:
“Razeem, I’ve come to bargain!”
All of the Discords continue to mock the Moon Lord. The eldritch, in turn, continues to miss them all as he gets increasingly annoyed to the point he’s swinging blindly. However, the force of his swings is causing havoc on the landmass below them.
As this is happening, the Element Bearers, Starlight Glimmer, and Zecora look on with their mouths hung agape. Some begin to comment on the unusual yet incredibly destructive scenario before them.
“W-what I-Is h-happening here?” Twilight inquires as she imitates a goldfish by repeatedly opening and closing her mouth.
Rainbow Dash was currently laughing uncontrollably as she then managed to say:
"I can’t tell what’s more hilarious! Discord, or that big idiot swinging his arms around to swat him.”
“Rainbow, darling, this isn’t funny!” Rarity responds. “That brute's destroying the ground down there with just his punches!”
“Ooh! Ooh! I know this reference. It’s-about-a-guy-who-is-a-doctor-who-is-actually-a-sorcerer-who-makes-a-bargain-with-”
“Pinkie!” Both Zecora and Starlight interject.
All the while, Fluttershy notices a vibrant and beautiful green aura that emits a powerful green light. The pegasus mare couldn’t help but admire the light show.
Everyone else in attendance also notices this as they, too, are drawn to the light. The cause of this light is none other than Celebes as she gathers up all the remaining power within the Terra Blade.
“Thank you, Disidian, Lord of Chaos. You gave me all the time I needed to enact this spell. Forgive me, everyone, but I must send the Moon Lord back now!” Celebes exclaims as she raises the Terra Blade into the air; above her head. Her voice begins to echo across the landscape as she invokes her spell:
“Upon this blade, I beckon to you all, upon all the Dryads of time who brought forth winter, spring, summer, and fall. By my birthright as a Dryad, I cast this spell, banish the Moon Lord back to my realm!”
As the Dryad finishes her spell, the Terra Blade shatters into pieces. As a result, the portal Razeem used to enter Equus begins to suck him in like a black hole. However, as a consequence, everyone present is also drawn into the portal-turned-black hole.
Twilight and all of her friends get dragged into the portal along with the Moon Lord and Celebes. And the eldritch lets out a roar and yells:
“NOOOOOOOOO!”
Only two beings remain; however, one of them is still being sucked in as the other tries to prevent this from happening: Discord and Fluttershy.
“Discord, you have to let me go.”
“No, Fluttershy. The realm beyond that portal is far more dangerous than Equus. I should know; I went there once!”
“That’s exactly why I must go with my friends, Discord. They need me.”
“Please, dear Fluttershy, you are my only true friend... please don’t leave me...”
“I’m not leaving you, Discord. I’m trusting you to help everycreature here, especially when it comes to stopping the Corruption.”
“I... I... No! You and I can help everyone stop it together; we-”
Fluttershy’s next action cut off discord's words. This surprises him so much that it causes him to let the pegasus mare go accidentally.
“Goodbye, Discord.” Was the last thing Fluttershy says as she too is sucked into the portal which closes moments after.
Some time before the Celebes casts her spell...
-The Crystal Empire: Castle Throne Room.-
“Citizens of the Empire,” Cadence starts proudly. “Thanks to the actions of Spike the Brave and Glorious, we now have further information regarding the Corruption.” She finishes with a bow to Spike.
The pink alicorn’s proclamation causes many different reactions from the ponies present:
“I knew he wouldn’t let us down!”
“Celestia bless you, Spike!”
“Too bad he wasn’t a pony; I’d have his foals~”
“That won’t stop me from trying, missy.”
“Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike!”
Upon hearing their praise, not to mention some flirtation from a few mares, Spike’s face turns crimson red. A dark hoof is placed onto his right shoulder as he looks back to see Princess Luna, who comments:
“Thou hath made Twilight proud, Spike. Know this to be true. Thanks to your message, we can-”
Luna’s words were cut off as a voice spoke to everyone present in the throne room. All ears flickered about, trying to pinpoint where the source of the voice was coming from.
”Upon this blade, I beckon to you all, upon all the Dryads of time who brought forth winter, spring, summer, and fall. By my birthright as a Dryad, I cast this spell, banish the Moon Lord back to my realm!”
“By the stars... what is this?” Luna questions. Her answer is soon revealed as a bright green light shines through the throne room's windows, catching everyone’s attention.
“Everyone! Outside, now!” Luna exclaims as she and everyone in the room make for the exit.
The doors to the castle open up, and everyone from the throne room can hear the sounds of cheering erupting throughout the Empire. They all look up towards the skies and can see Luna’s moon once more, but most importantly, the Moon Lord is no more, and his portal is now closed.
The Princess of the Night’s facial features went from surprise to ecstatically happy as she exclaimed:
“Huzzah! Dear Twilight and her friends have succeeded! We’ve done it, Celly!”
“I knew Twily and the others could take care of it! That’s my sister for you!” Shining Armor exclaims with pride.
“Sometimes I forget how grown up my favorite filly, which I used to babysit, is. Way to go, Twi.” Cadence says as a tear forms in her eyes.
“Aww yeah, I knew they could handle it! I just regret that I couldn’t see that jerk's face when they beat him.” Spike says as he jumps into the air in celebration.
[POP]
Suddenly, a familiar draconequus appears before them, with tears going down his face. He looks to the group before him and yells:
“They’re all gone! Sucked into the portal and sent to that world! Blast that Moon Lord; this is all his fault!” Discord’s words instantly shock everyone present.
Luna recovers from her surprised state and questions him:
“What doth thou mean by ‘they’re gone,’ Discord? What’s happened?”
“Didn’t any of you see the green lights?” Discord questions in mild shock. “The Dryad used the Terra Blade and banished the Moon Lord, but everyone there got sucked in too, even... oh, my dear Fluttershy.” Discord replies as tears still flow like a river down his cheeks. This prompts Cadence to step forward and question the weeping lord of chaos.
“Discord, where did they go?”
“To their realm, Terraria!”
-TERRARIA-
It’s a sunny day In the world of Terraria as seven ponies, and a zebra, lay unconscious on a field of lush green grass. Birds could be heard chirping, and a squirrel could be seen grabbing an acorn from a nearby tree.
Soon enough, Zecora stirs awake before anyone else and is immediately shocked by the world around her.
“Oh my, this can not be. This place is as wild as the Everfree. What was that spell the Dryad cast? Could this be the future or the past?” Zecora says rhythmically. She then looks around and checks on her still-unconscious friends.
“Perhaps my survival skills could be of use; I shall build a home to shelter all of you.”
“Allow us to assist and guide you, please,” A male voice calls out, garnering Zecora's shocked attention.
“A talking Zebra? Even by Terraria’s standards, that’s a new one. Oh! Do you think they’ll need medical attention?”
“A good bullet to the head might do it.”
“I prefer explosions.”
“Hey, how much do you think those colorful ponies might sell for? Merchant's got to earn a living, you know...”

Ah. Those guys. I gotta play terraria again soon.
10530143
Journey's end was a god send imo, beautiful update.
10530187
Haven't check it out. What's it like?
10530195
It's very friendly to both veteran and new players, the game added a whole lot of esthetics from UI to gameplay. Journey mode is basically a mix of god mode and regular gameplay. you can research items then spawn them into your inventory, control the weather, the time of day, the ratio of the enemy spawn rate. It gives you a lot of control over your world.
I open the chapter and am immediately slapped with M E G A L O V A N I A.

Oh my god, SHE KISSED HIM!

I love the reference!
Pinkie!
You can’t keep breaking the fourth wall like this!

My fourth wall insurance can't support this...
I don't want to be rude but I must say that the arrival of Discord to help and save Fluttershy and company felt like a Plot armor and with it, all the tension that you created in these first chapters went to the trash.
I feel disappointed.
10861962
Sorry for the late reply. No, that's fair. In fact, I even told myself when I wrote this all those months ago that Discord really took away from the battle itself. I'm considering a rewrite of these first few chaps later on.
Two things stuck out to me most as I re-read these first chapters: Some of the ponies reactions and that bit with Discord.
10862958
I mean, you put an antagonist who was able to kill Celestia just by looking at her face, to later be defeated in that way?
Edit: I just reread your answer, and I'm glad that you still intend to fix it and that this fight against the Moon Lord doesn't feel like Plot armor..
Not as evil as you would think at first. Unicorns & co. are usually associated with the Hallow, and entities from there are usually not friendly…
