Discord sat in his stone prison, waiting. Waiting for chaos. Waiting for strife, waiting for disorder. Even a small skirmish would do.
The princesses had moved him to an unpopular part of the garden. Many ponies wondered why they didn't just lock him up in a vault, away from everypony else, away from the possibility of freedom. It's probably my devilishly handsome face, he thought.
Discord sighed. Mentally, of course, seeing as his mouth was encased in stone. Nopony ever walked by his statue anymore! It was depressing, standing still for all eternity, not even having anything to watch. Not to mention that strange flux of magic he felt yesterday, the one he couldn't even go investigate.
He heard a commotion coming from his right. "I'm telling you, Windy, this is too good to be true! We'll all turn back to normal soon, I'm sure of it."
Discord heard a second pony sigh. "Why can't you just accept that we're like this now? Everypony else is happy, why do you have to be so... different than everypony else?"
The second pony sounded like a mare. Discord would have smiled. This was a perfect chance for him to get enough chaos to free himself!
"Well, maybe I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life! I want everything to go back to normal!" the first pony said.
"This is a good thing! Ugh, why did I even marry you?!"
Discord could feel his stone prison start to crack. Soon, he would be free to cause as much chaos as he wanted!
"Oh, so you regret marrying me now?"
"I didn't say that!"
"But you meant it!"
"Well, maybe I did!"
He heard the sound of hoofsteps stomping away angrily. Another crack appeared in the stone, this time on his lion's paw. He flexed his paw. The stone cracked even more. Flakes of it started falling to the ground. With a massive heave, his entire right arm was free.
He used his right arm to break down the weakened stone that covered the rest of his body. A hit here, a whack there, and the stone was crumbling around him. "I'm free...", he said. "I'm free! Muahahahaha!" He burst into a fit of coughs. "Oh, I need to work on my evil laugh.... I am so out of practice..."
Discord snapped his claw and teleported away. He re-appeared at his desired location, the middle of Canterlot Castle. He narrowed his eyes, looking at all the ponies standing around in the room. "Now, little ponies, I am free again! Now you lives will be turned upside down with all my beautiful chaos! I'll... I'll..."
Discord trailed off as he noticed something wrong with the ponies. Had they gotten taller since he had last seen them? Why had they all turned into unicorns, and where'd they get the wings?
Wait...
The group of Alicorns turned to face the avatar of chaos, horns glowing. "Oh, crud..." mumbled Discord. He teleported back to the garden and got back on his stone altar. "I'll try again later..." he mumbled to himself.
With a snap of his claw, he was once again encased in his stone prison.
okay
HAHAHAHA
Good Discord, just go back to your prison now. and have a nice spot of tea and wait for all this to blow over.
...I don't get it. The princesses couldn't do anything to him by themselves, and unless every single new alicorn can use powers on par with the Elements of Harmony, Discord should be loving the chaos this is making...
This is hilarious. I.. I am laughing so hard i can't think of something more intelligent to say.
Bravo, sir Discord. :D

Alicorns have a lot of magic.
A lot of magic.
A lot of Alicorns = A lot of magic.
Dealing with one or two alicorns is far removed from dealing with THOUSANDS!
Discord went... 'Um... don't mind me, just stretching my legs... BYE!'
1674458
Discord would have said a few other choice words but he didn't want the rating of this story to go up to teen.
1674471 - I take it that because Twilight and Celestia were stripped, Twilight was due to become an Alicorn somehow? Luna was only protected due to her magic-proofed room.
1674484
Nah, she was just the epicentre of the blast. I don't put any stock into those 'Twilight's going to become an Alicorn' theories, nor do I particularly enjoy Alicorn Twilight fics.
She's just a crazy pony who dun goofed.
1674501
Earth pony is just what I call her because 'nothing pony' doesn't sound very good.
1674512
Guns have safeties.
You've just given what is without a doubt the most irresponsible race of creatures ever to exist something sharp. Something very large and very sharp.
1674522
It only affected sentient creatures.
Don't worry
There will be no flying, magic-using timberwolves in this story.
Oh my god I need to write a story about flying, magic using timberwolves.
1674533
Sure, I'll give your stories a go.
I think it might have been funnier if Discord had been turned into an Alicorn as well. Instead of causing havoc he'd have a break down since he'd effectively LOSE power, and be totally miserable since he was now a being of harmony instead of chaos! "But I'm supposed to be a spirit of CHAOS!" *cries like a five year old*
1674569
I could have used that, but meh.
Let's just assume the stone he was encased in is resistant to magic and leave it at that.
1674402
Theres a difference between dealing with two alicorns, and dealing with two billion.
CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ALICORNS YAY!!!

Fact- Blowing up is a popular dragon past-time.
Discord. HA!
1674413 A lot of Alicorn to me= Freaken Magic enough to blow up the whole planet
1674701 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
HA HA HA HA!
Bet discord never saw that coming.
Of course, it be cool to see discord actually fight in an epic battle against a bunch of alicorns.
1674701
"We're goddess and we STILL don't have our cutie marks!"
eh
1675038
Hey Sweetie Belle, maybe now that we are Alicorns we can come up with a spell to reveal our cutie marks.
What about Changelings? Are they all alicorns now?
1676035 Every sentient creature is an Alicorn now.
1674526
Something large, very sharp, and capible of lifting extremely heavy things. Oh, actually, it's large, sharp, can lift heavy things, and make things blow up!
Wait... oh crud.
1676060
There's going to be some rather unhappy elder dragons.
I wonder if so many alicorns will drain the world's ley lines and mana.
I'm literally, ROFLMAO
1676548
Literally in the literal sense, or literally in the way people online say literally to emphasize their point, even though they weren't being literal?
hopefully with this there won't be any real way to returning to normal as that would be too serious for a comedy.
thumbs up, my friend! very funny!
1676678 It was on saying "I always lie." It had nothing to do with whether he was lying or not. It had to do with the statement "I always Lie" not the statement before
Hm, is everyone is an alicorn instead of everypony.
...inb4 Alicorn Gilda.
Really Discord?!?!?!?!?!? Turn back into stone... HAHAHA!!!!!!!
1674701
And still blank flanks!
Which means they might start trying the more, er, dangerous ideas now. Uh oh...
(Maybe they won't try fooling around with the Sun and Moon since the princesses already have those for cutie marks)
hm.
well, i do think something.
the elements of harmony are already taken,so none of the other alicorns can use it.
thats good so blueblood can not use the elements against the elements on anger on payback against rarity because BLUEBLOOD IS SERIOSLY A BITCH.
or the elements just control when one uses them.
>> meme-asaurus - I was waiting for the alicorned CMCs' to be visualised... but they are still fillies, so they would be smaller, not fully-grown (I can tell by the head:body size ratio).
Also, Discord's reaction could of been funnier, with him teleporting to the throne room to 'interrogate' the princesses about the alicorn invasion, only to see both Celestia and Twilight, two of the most powerful ponies in the whole of Equestria, as earth ponies, and totally lose it...
1674536 I would read that.
1682327
SHHH DON'T BRING ATTENTION TO IT.
I'M SERIOUSLY GOING TO WRITE THAT.
Lol that was priceless
1674413
Good idea, Discord. When the world is in disorder due to alicorns everywhere, you give up your chance for disharmony. NOW what?
Discord may need some keepers to keep him company.
1674373
I've got the honey and sugar lumps to help calm down your issues.
1674500YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE EVIDENCE!
Exhibit A: Celestia=Day, Luna=Night, Ergo, Twilight=Dawn/Dusk(but perhaps by dawn they mean the development of technologies, resulting in a dawn for Ponykind. Or maybe just the end of all days, Dusk)
Exhibit B: Next level of studies? Really? That means either, Sex or becoming an alicorn... Or something...
Exhibit C: Ms. Sparkle is very powerful. Power requires a conduit. Earth ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns all have outlets for power, alicorns are all Three tribes because they have so much power they evolved multiple ways to... Extricate their magic so they don't die. Twilight is the Element Of Magic! such power needs to he released before it destroys her.
Lol. Funniest chapter of this thing that I read so far.
1674701 That can only end well...
Ok that was very funny
( By the way been having trouble uplaoding my picture for my avatar.If anypony had an idea why please let me know. and yes I did refresh it)
That is awesome. Just fantastic!
