Prologue: Aggressive Tendencies Lead to Trauma.
Chaos... Chocolate rain, cotton candy clouds, talking apples, dogs and cats living together; mass hysteria... Harmony can end all of this for some time. But some time is never enough... There must be a way to end it more securely. A way that in itself is so chaotic and irrational that Chaos itself will have no choice but to bow to it. But the only way to achieve that is to make a deal with the devil. Now, seeing as there are no devils in Equestria, we will have to settle for the next best thing...
There it was. Or more so he was. Still petrified in his state of surprise. Arms pushed out in a desperate attempt to prevent the rainbow of his demise. Like this, he seemed almost peaceful and serene. But no, Celestia knew, standing there before him, that this creature was simply biding his time to grant a moment of accepted hope for the ponies of Equestria. That was the very reason she came before him this day; alone. The ruler of Equestria bowed her head slowly, her eyes brimming with a burning desire as her horn touched against the stone basin of Discord's petrified state.
A soft light graced against the stone from the point of Celestia's horn, which started to send a cracking fissure through Discord's still body. Moment by passing moment, Discord started to inch his stone body slowly, his hodgepodge of colors returning to his twisted body. Once he was fully recovered, his mismatched arms stretched towards the blue sky as he made a dramatic yawn. "The spell is broken...!" as he said this with a groan, his dragon foot clawed into the stone under him, digging against it, "And I live again!"
Celestia only continued with her firing eyes and looked up at Discord with his triumphant stance. "Discord!" His yellow eyes darted down to see with some surprise the pony that released him, "I have released you from the binds of Harmony. I know you're not wondering why, since why would call for reasoning."
"True, true..." Discord nodded slowly while he stretched out against the stone landing under him.
"But I will tell you why I've released you anyway... I challenge you to a duel," even Discord was a bit off-guarded by that sentence. However, Celestia continued, "I have been battling you for more than 1000 years... And I have started to grow tired from it. Not just physically, but emotionally. It pains me through the very night remembering everything you've done and everything I couldn't prevent..." Celestia sighed weakly before resetting the fire to her eyes.
"You pretend to be defeated every time we set you into stone; but we both know you're just playing. Your constant bleeding of chaos into the air drives horrible actions from innocent pones. But it ends now... I challenge you to a fair duel."
Discord tilted his head for a second, thinking this out. "...What are the stakes?"
"If I win, you will stay in that stone form for two hundred years. You won't leak any of your chaotic will into the world during that time either. When you lose, you will stay down fairly," Celestia made her intent clear; keeping it reasonable for future bartering if need be.
"...And if I win?" Discord seemed to be listening closer now, as if intrigued by this crazy idea.
"If you win, I'll give you Canterlot to do what you will with," that was the money phrase. Sure, Discord could just take Canterlot whenever he wanted. But to have it handed to him by Celestia? Nothing could be sweeter.
"Oh-ho-ho. Celestia... Being brash and bold are we?" Discord straitened up and got down to level with Celestia, "The right kind of mind set you should be in when dealing the cards to me. Smart... Very well, I'll accept your duel. What's your game? Jousting? Chess?"
"...Kickball..."
Pause. That's all the lord of chaos could really do. Just pause. One of his talons went to his flopping ear and dug it out, fishing a ball of wax out from it. "Sorry, Celestia, I must've heard you wrong. Say--"
"I'm challenging you to a game of kickball, Discord," Celestia's tone was shake-less and frank.
"Why kickball? I thought you'd want some kind of Royal Canterlot event... Like chess," he could barely believe what he was hearing... And he was the lord of chaos!
"Because with a Royal Canterlot event, you only need one player per team. With kickball, you need at least eight players. Which means you need to rely on the help of others."
"...Well what if I--"
"Team captains can't use magic! New rule, lock, no changes!" Celestia quickly said.
Discord snapped his claws and gave a harsh huff. "Darn it... Alright. Round one goes to you. But how am I supposed to get an eight player minimum when all of Equestria knows me and hates me; without my magic?"
"That's for you to decided... My team is already in roster. You better get started Discord," for a brief moment, Celestia seemed almost smug about the current standings.
Before Discord could rebuke her, Celestia moved off the garden grounds and away from him. Once more, he huffed out a harsh breath and kicked at the grass under him. "Well, buck... I could just cheat, buuuuuuuuuuuut... Canterlot will be all the sweeter if I get it forked over to me fairly..." he pondered his current situation and sat back up against his previous prison. "So many choices..." the lord of chaos remained there in thought, wondering who would make up his dream team to crush Celestia.
"...I think I know just the person to call..." Discord smirked devilishly as he held his paw out.
In no time at all, an old phone appeared in it and he picked it up after turning the dial for the proper number. "I hope they figured out how a tele-- HELLO! Yes... Yes it has been a long time... Uh-huh... Yeah... Kickball game... Yes... Yes... Yes it would be easier if I was actually talking to you and not talking into a phone that keeps telling me I put in a number that doesn't exist... Yes...Right... I'll see you soon, bye." Discord hung up his phone and poofed it away in the same manner it had appeared.
"They really need to invent the phone..."

I vote for pinkie on discords team because he promised her an unlimited supply of free chocolate milk of course
and rarity on celestias team because celestia promised to show her the secret to what makes her mane so fabulous 
Your Loving and Loyal fan Lord Stormy Sky
1322613 What kind of rules? Can use community people or OCs join in the games or does it actually have to be canon ponies? If canon, I guess Chrysalis could join in Discord's fun. If you allow everypony, Me. It would be fitting to have a somewhat unstable gamer pony that has the name Chaotic in it.
Twilight should be on Celestia's team, obviously. Maybe with some post-game (or even mid- or pre-game) makeouts?

I'm going through withdrawals at the present moment. Throw me a bone? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Fluttershy.png Um, if that's ok with you?
Lol good title I like that song
Fuck the karma
Applejack is going to own
1322797 SPOILER: Every chapter will have a reference to some song.
Pinkie. I'm calling it now. also, I need Chrysalis on celestia's team. Pip needs to be a ref.
I only have one thing to say to this. . .
LEEEEETTSSS GEEET REAAADYYY TO RUUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLLEEE!!!
dun dun DUN!!!!!
Let's get this show...I mean kickball game on the road!
I VOTE FOR TEAM LUNA! WOOOO!
ohboy.jpg
Let's get this started!
Allright! This is going to be a good fic!
I HAVE to see this...
."
"As long as I get a Doctor Horrible related chapter i'm fine. Or dead rising
Terror Is Reality: Equestria? That is possibly THE stupidest thing you've ever said.
"Your just jealus because you didn't think of it!"
N - Okay maybe a little
AND SO IT BEGINS! Dis gun be good.
Opening with a quote from "Ghostbusters"!?
If you're right, and make this work; Flinx, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.
But I really can't see anyone playing ball with Discord.
Haha. Gargoyles reference. Oh Discord I luvvvvvvvvv u!
the score keeper should be a lakitu
I vote for... myself, THEHYLIANBATMAN!
Hmmmm I think Doctor Whooves, Chrysalis, Pinkie Pie and Derpy should be on Discords team simply because they are all chaotic without his help
I think Screwball is an obvious choice for Discord's team. Maybe that blue pony who think's she's a dog too.
Make Rainbow Dash be on Team Celestia, because Rainbow Dash is in love with either Twilight or Fluttershy (yours to decide) and those two would obviously be on Team Celestia.
Trixie on Team Celestia. Because... because. Assuming Luna's not here for fairness, that leaves one slot.
Think about it!
Team Celestia: Twilight(duh), Rainbow Dash(Loyalty), Chrysalis(hive minds are naturally orderly), Cadence(oh boy...), Nightmare Moon(for the LULZ)(Luna if not), Octavia(Celestia started getting desperate too and Vinyl Scratch was providing music for the event), Mare Do Well(huh?) and [Pick one random "famous" author avatar, again for the LULZ].
Celestia Cheer Team: Scootaloo(RD), Pipsqueak(Luna)
Team Discord: Pinkie Pie(duh), Applejack(to compete AGAINST Rainbow), Rarity(easily bribed, and Discord is desperate), Trixie(to compete with Twilight), Lyra Heartstrings(bribed with HUMANS), Doctor(naturally chaotic), Screwloose(the barking pony) and Screwball(Daddy Discord pony).
Discord Cheer Team: Derpy/Ditzy(would anyone REALLY want her on ANY team?), Applebloom(AJ)
Head Referee: Fluttershy. She has The Stare for anybody who breaks the rules. Seriously, you DON'T wanna break the rules.
/
Assistant Refs: Yellowstar, Nyx
Announcers: Spike and Sweetie Belle. Do you question this?
Entertainment: "Vinyl Scratch and the Wonderboltsdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Vinyl_Scratch.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Spitfire_rape.png
Suggestion: If one player has Time Travel, is it really breaking the rules if they show up more than once?
1349958
You make a convincing argument, black mage clone
1349958
Also, yeah, good Gargoyles reference. 
I second this random idea!
Another suggestion: make it clear what this game is about by naming the teams Team Order/Harmony and Team Chaos/Discord(I prefer the first choices).
You should have Ceberus on Discord's team. He will be desperate and Celestia wouldn't think of it. Plus he love to fetch balls. And has three heads. And is freaking ginormous.
1349958 I third this notion BUT instead for Discord's team.
Discord: Chrysalis (just to beat Celestia again.), screwball, screw loose, Octavia
I think Pinkie MUST be on team Celestia to balance out discord and his chaotic ways. And Twilight has to be on team Discord so someone can actually organize and plan things out for them.
Oh and call me the announcer and Co host of the event with Luna and everything will be perfect no matter who is on what team.
1322847
Nah, both Pip and Chrysalis need to be on Discord's team!
But yes, Pinkie also on Discord's team. But nopony should get 'Discorded'. That would just make it uncool.
I look forward to a supply of excellence.
This is Australia...
Discordwhooves on Discords team and a proper Doctor on Celesta's.
.......I am glad I decided to browse through some stories. This shall prove to be rather intriguing. Oh and on a side not, GO TEAM CHAOS!
GIVE ME MORE DANG IT!
Oh I loved that Gargoyles reference when Discord was freed from stone. It had me laughing. I vote for the fantastic team of Discord's to win. Let chaos reign and his team of fun abominations crush the ponies. Giant timber wolf, Diamond Dogs, Gryphons and Manticores o my this will be fun to read.
I feel old being able to notice the Gargoyles reference.
