My Little Pony Destroyers are Magic.

Chaos

Taylor is with the mane 6 waiting for the train.

‘Why am I trusting them? It’s probably cause they look so cute. I look cute, this has been weird.’ Taylor thinks

“Hey!”

‘Thanks Captain Obvious.’ Taylor tells her crew

“Hey”

‘I just named you? Don’t you already have a name Captain?’ Taylor asks

Suddenly there is a change in air pressure that her barometer picks up. And as fast as it was there it’s gone.

“Flutters! There’s this amazing source of chaos magic and it’s… around… Here?” Discord announces looking around before he stares at Taylor.

Taylor being herself had her rigging deployed the second the draconess started talking. The 5 Mac turrets we trained on the chaos god.

‘Is it time for my weekly battle? Well sometimes it’s monthly. ’ Taylor thinks

“Hey.”

‘It occurs enough to be common. Should I do this the flashy way, I mean I’m sure you guys don’t want to some how fly into his throat.’ Taylor tells her crew

“Hey!”

‘No I’m fairly certain I can control you guys like I used to my bugs, not to mention my multitasking is still here.’ Taylor replies

While that conversation was happening Taylor also took the initiative.
“Hi? Did you order a rod of tungsten?” Taylor asks

“No… could you please not shoot me?” Discord asks

“I really want to though you remind me of this other guy I defeated.” Taylor says

Discord squints looking at Taylor.

“Discord leave her alone.” Rainbow dash says

“I didn’t do anything! If someone did something it was her who killed the giant space whale.” Discord announces there is a short hum followed by a crack. The hum gave ample warning and Discord was gone.

“Who are you how did you know that!” Taylor shouts in panic.

‘I knew they weren’t to be trusted!’ Taylor thinks her paranoia going full sail.

“I’m chaos!” A disembodied voice says

“Where did he go! There’s no way that shot vaporized him. Get out here you coward of a god!” Taylor shouts

“That was close that would’ve really hurt ya know?” Discord says standing behind Taylor

“General Quarters!” Taylor announces around

“Uh oh.” Discord says

“What does that mean?” Twilight asks no answer was given.

=====================

“Come now personification of escalation! Stop trying to hit me and hit me!” Discord shouts

The ground shakes after the noise of the main batteries firing.

“She’s got some fire power.” Applejack says

“I wonder what kind of magic that is?” Twilight asks

Red flares are filling the sky above the forest. Illuminating the night sky.

“Nothing good.” Rainbow Dash says as the ground shakes.

“I think she’s holding back and having fun.” Fluttershy says

The other mane 6 look at the yellow Pegasus like she grew a second head.

“Wait really?” Rarity asks

“Did she have a cutie mark, I didn’t actually look.” Twilight says

“Oh no, not another crusader.” Rarity mumbles

==================

Taylor has stopped moving and has been staying still for a few seconds.

“Ha! You giving up?” Discord asks

“No? I’m just trying to calculate the range of ‘acceptable’ fallout.” Taylor admits

“… Uncle?” Discord says

“What?” Taylor asks a little dumbfounded.

“I give up! I saw what you were about to use. I ain’t dodging that.” Discord says

“…”

“You okay?” Discord asks

Taylor opens her mouth and instead of words her stomach growls.

“Hungry… why did we fight again?” Taylor asks

“Because your paranoid and haven’t had a melt down yet. I think getting your trust issues out now would help. Those six are good girls and really want to help.” Discord says

“Well, thanks I guess. I’ll think about it, I mean I’ll go with them for now. Letting them in after everything that’s happened and everything I’ve lost.” Taylor says looking at the destroyed forest. “That’s a lot of damage…”

“That’s easy to fix.” Discord says snapping his fingers.

“That was awesome and terrifying.” Twilight says

“I uh… chaos?” Taylor says aloud

“Call me Discord, Escalation.” Discord responds.

‘Why in the hell is he calling me that?’ Taylor wonders

“Than you can call me Taylor, thanks for letting me get some steam off.” Taylor says

“Your boilers needed a work out.” Discord says chuckling.

‘Wa? What the fuck? Oh hey I can curse in my head still that’s nice.’ Taylor thinks
“You remind me of assault. I’m also fairly certain I’m not using a boiler.” Taylor muses aloud.

“Happy to please.” Discord says with a grin as he floats over to Fluttershy who doesn’t look amused.

“So um… what were we doing again?” Taylor asks

“Heading back to ponyville. Your gonna stay with me in my castle.” Twilight says

“I don’t wanna leave the ocean.” Taylor says

“There is a river in the everfree which leads to the ocean.” Discord comments

“It does?” Twilight asks

“Yes and no? The magic of the everfree is a bit of my own so I can see some things. How else would you think a sea serpent ended up in that river.” Discord asks

“I’ll go however I will need a few days to go and explore. A star chart and sea chart would be nice too.” Taylor says

“Are we just ignoring the fight earlier?” Rainbow Dash asks

“That was a skirmish or a spar… in truth I don’t think either of us were going all out.” Discord admits

“True you should’ve seen what my sisters could do when they went all out. I mean just look at Taffy 3” Taylor says happily.

Discord laughs.

‘How did he get that?’ Taylor thinks

“How do you know what she’s talking about?” Fluttershy asks glaring at discord.

“Flutters di… I’m gonna tell you can you stop looking at me like that!” Discord says fearful of The Stare.

“Fine but explain yourself or our tea date is gonna be put off.” Fluttershy says

“Ah well you see while I was stone, I used chaos magic to see. I saw everything, it’s honestly hard to describe.” Discord says

“I’ve got film, I just need to find a projector.” Taylor says

“Hey!!!”

‘What do you mean the humans in the films became ponies!?’ Taylor asks confused

“Hey!”

‘Magical ship girl bullshit doesn’t make any sense mister!’ Taylor says

“Taylor you there?” Twilight says waving her hoof i front of the filly’s eyes.

“Ah sorry… I got distracted.” Taylor says

“Right, well like I was saying I can easily acquire a projector and we can watch your films when we get back to the castle of friendship.” Twilight says

“I’m not sure if it’s a good idea.” Taylor says

“Hey!”

‘I have historical documentaries aboard? I’m not sure showing them is a good idea.’ Taylor tells her crew

“Nonsense what could possibly be on those films?” Twilight asks

“Say… Twilight?” Taylor asks

“Yes?” Twilight responds hoping the filly doesn’t have a melt down an destroy everything.

“If you’ve got a steam powered train why don’t you have a steam powered ship? And will there be food aboard the train?” Taylor asks trying to derail the conversation.

“Well you see.” Twilight starts

It worked.
