Hi my name is... well, you don't need to know my name just yet, but you can call me Disaster. Disaster the draconequus.
Hi my name is... well, you don't need to know my name just yet, but you can call me Disaster. Disaster the draconequus. I used to be human before I met that old geezer Discord who gave me the deal of a lifetime and sent me to Equestria as a draconequus like him.
Now I'm in Equestria, going wherever I wish making trouble and friends alike.
Hi there my name is... well, you don't need to know my real name just yet. Lets just say I'm your neighborhood brony having a very strange day or the most awesome day, it just depends on how you think of it. Today however, I had to save this old crazy geezer with a big brown trench coat from being hit by a truck by pushing him out of the way with my own body, risking my life for a stranger.
The old man I saved was very thankful and invited me to eat with him at his favorite diner, it was weird, as soon as he said that he pointed to a diner right next to us. I didn't even notice it until he pointed it out, so we went he ordered our meals and we talked over some things. Eventually the topic switched and we were talking about the show My little pony: Friendship is magic. surprisingly the old fart was a fan.
"So what I'm thinking is why the hell would Hasbro have Twilight become an alicorn so Damn early I mean it didn't make any sense, it was too early in the series for that kinda crap!" I said to the old geezer.
He had a brown trench coat and was wearing a yellow and red scarf that kinda looked like the one Harry Potter wore along with a brown hat, I couldn't see the rest of him from under all his clothing. I didn't understand why he would even consider wearing all that with the warm weather and all, all I could see was the big devilish grin he always wore. It both creeped me out and intrigued me, it seemed so familiar.
The old man chuckled at my statement about Alicorn Twilight, "Oh I most certainly agree with you my friend, whatever they were thinking must have been as insane as… as that Discord fellow." he replied, I started laughing at that.
"Ha, I wish! If they were that crazy then Twilight would have wings for three seconds before they disappeared, and then Celestia would come in and sing the 'you've been trolled' song in her face." I laughed and the old geezers grin seemed to grow even larger, which was surprising considering the size it already was.
"So, do you like Discord?" he asked. His voice was sounding kinda scary now, but I didn’t pay any attention to it.
"Are you kidding? The guy’s a comical genius, he made dancing buffalo, he made the sun and moon switch places every few minutes, he took over Equestria in seconds and he can make chocolate milk rain that explodes, he's awesome!" I yelled, not caring who was in the diner.
Which, now I thought about it... There wasn't anyone in the diner. And whatever happened to the lady that brought us our Sandwiches and fries we ordered?
The old man chuckled, "You know, I like you boy so tell ya what, what if I told you I can send you to Equestria right now?" he said.
I scoffed, "If you can do that then do it, send me away," I replied, humoring the wacko before me. I do admit though if what he was saying were true then that would be awesome… it would be better than what's been happening in my life so far. "but only on one condition."
The old man leaned in to hear what I had to say, "Go on?"
"If you decided to change me into something don't change me into some mamby pamby pony," Yes, I said that. Deal with it. "Turn me into something cool something like… a Draconequus!"
The old geezers grin turned curious, "Why would you want to be like Discord?" he asked.
"Why wouldn't I, I want to have some fun while I'm in Equestria and what better way to have fun then to do something you've never done before and what better something than chaos? No one other than Discord knows what it's like and I'm curious if it’s really as fun as Discord describes in the show. It lead to him wanting to rule Equestria, it must be fun. Where do I sign up?" I explained, showing my own devilish grin. I don't know why but his own grin felt nostalgic.
His evil smile returned and he laughed like a mad man, "Ha, ha, I like that spunk of yours kid but what would you do if you and Discord met?" he asked still smiling.
"I would give him the biggest hug in the universe and we would go frolic in the fields drinking chocolate milk and causing some chaos while running from Celestia herself!" I yelled again getting caught in the moment.
"That what I wanted to hear!!" he said.
Going into his trench coat he pulled out a wooden bat and pulled it back.
"Wait what are you-" I was cut off as the bat swung at my head knocking me to the floor of the diner, everything was becoming blurry as I looked back up at the old bastard that hit me.
"See ya on the other side kid." He said as he lifted the hat, revealing his face, it was the face of Discord!
I was shocked to say the least, then the world faded to darkness.
****
Later I groaned as I got up from the diner floor I looked around the diner as I realized that I was alone. I tried to figure out what just happened when flashes of memory came back to my mind and the face of Discord behind the coat.
"Oh man no way that’s impossible… oh my god… I should have asked for an autograph!" I said realizing my fatal mistake. Sure I was surprised to find out that a cartoon character and the show he was from existed, and that he just slugged me with a baseball bat, but I was more shocked that I didn't get his autograph. "Oh well."
I slowly got off of the floor and walked out of the diner. When I got outside I realized that the diner moved to the middle of the road, in the middle of the city I live in. I looked all around me and no cars or people could be seen anywhere in sight. I was completely alone in the city in front of the strange diner with big building surrounding me.
Suddenly I heard something that sounds like running water coming from somewhere like a river, I strained my eyes to see down the street I was facing then I gasped when I saw a raging wall of water coming straight towards me, I tried to run down the other street but as soon as I turned around there was another wall of water. I looked in the other directions and sure enough both ways were blocked by towers of water heading for me I was trapped.
I ran back into the diner and looked out the window, backing away from it as the water came closer until it all came crashing into the windows. I sighed in relief when the glass didn't break under the pressure, but I wasn't able to enjoy it long as the glass quickly started to crack under the weight of the water.
"Oh crap." I said before the water bursted through the window submerging me in water. I tried to swim to the surface to get air but couldn't due to the current. That didn't matter anyway since I couldn't even tell which direction was up and down anymore, the diner quickly turned dark and I couldn't see anything but water and darkness nothing but darkness.
Then I suddenly felt something in me, I felt something changing me, it felt like my arms and legs were being taken from me one by one and being replaced with something else. Each of my body parts felt numb, I couldn't feel anything for a few moments. When feeling returned it felt different, it felt like none of them were the same anymore.
That feeling worked its way through my whole body until it reached my head it burned and I felt energy going through it, my ears felt like they were being stretched out and I could feel something growing out of the top of my head, when I couldn't take the pain any longer I blacked out.
*****
I gasped for air and spit out some water, I slowly opened my eyes to see I wasn't In the diner anymore. Or underwater. I felt the sun on my skin so I felt around me to discover that I was laying down on some grass. I slowly sat up from the ground and looked around to see I was in some field in front of a lake.
My eyes burned and I rubbed them with my hands, I pulled my hands away from my eyes and gasped when I saw my hands, or better yet, my paw and claw. I looked at my new features shocked but interested. My right arm looked like the paw of a white Bengal tiger and my left looked like a birds arm with sharp talons, a hawk maybe, I was amazed then I looked at my legs.
My right leg looked like a red lizards leg with three toes and one at the back. I think. Or is that just a hang nail? I looked at my left leg, it was a horse leg with white fur, I stood up a bit wobbly at first with the new mismatched legs and moved over to the lake. I looked down at my reflection.
My face was completely changed I looked like discord if he was a Thousand years younger, I had black hair at the top of my head and a white mane going down and both of my eyes were different sizes, I had both of discords horns, discords blue horn was red on me and brown fur surrounded my face. I had two big fangs poking out my mouth I looked at the middle of my body to see it was covered in green scales, I looked behind me to see wings one was a black birds wing while the other a yellow bats wing.
I looked at my whole new body then laughed, "Oh my god I can't believe this! That old geezer was right… Discord was right?" I said to myself. "Hmm if I'm a draconequus like he said then that means I'm in Equestria!"
I looked back at my reflection and see a note hanging from my red horn that I didn't notice till now and grabbed it and started reading.
Dear young friend~
I do hope you like your new look, you should have realized by now that you're in Equestria. I set you down in what you would call the beginning of season 3 of MLP and I do hope you plan to come to Canterlot to meet me, and give me a hug of course. Don’t forget to cause some chaos along the way.
-Sincerely yours, Discord :)
I smiled and started laughing like an insane person, "Well Discord if you want me there I'll be there, Look out Equestria for..." I realized if I was going to be in a new world in a new body I would need a new name, something that would be a good fit for this moment that went from a disaster that happened before to now... wait that's it!
I sat under a tree next to the lake with one thought on my mind, what the hell am I going to do? I mean, yeah I said I was going to find Discord but how will I find him if I'm at the beginning of season three? He would still be in stone, Celestia doesn’t have Discord reformed until near the end of this season, I would have to find him in Canterlot, but how?
I don't have a map, and I have no sense of direction, god dammit I might as well be Ryoga and walk around just to end up going in circles, "Dammit why didn't Discord just drop me right in front of his statue or something!?" I asked the world that I now was in.
You know what? Why was Discord even in my world in the first place, I know he's the spirit of chaos and all, but what was he up to in my world? Maybe he was planning something and if so what, what could possibly be in my world that he would want and why would he send me here? Well of course I asked for it but… why?
I sighed in confusion I was always a stupid ass guy at home I would never think about anything much, I just went with the flow with everything homework for school, work at my job and fighting.
That thought brought a smile to my face I always liked fighting, strange I know but that's what I do back home I would scrap with anybody, I wanted to kids who were picking for a fight or bullying some helpless guy, I want kids who would beat up other dude's who were harassing some poor women or trying to hurt someone who was weaker.
I know what you're thinking I'm some sort of geek who wanted to be a hero well let me tell you your damn wrong I just wanted to find someone to beat the crap out of... but picking on someone who couldn't defend themselves didn't sound right to me… sometimes.
I have to admit I kinda have a problem with fighting and can't seem to stop, of course I try to keep calm and avoid causing trouble but sometimes I just can't stop and I end up going after the people I already beat down once and then I become the bully, I fessed up and went to the authorities because of guilt and said I'm sorry.
But sometimes some people won't accept apologies and then some things just go to far.
I groaned and put my claws-er paws, you know what I'm just gonna call this mismatch bunch here hands because that's just confusing, I put my 'hands' over my face and groaned at long forgotten memories, or at least, they should be forgotten.
When I lowered my ‘hands’ from my brown face I notice something out in the distance, I squinted my eyes to avert the sun and saw four far away figures coming up to the lake from over the hill and fast.
I jumped up from my spot and started to panic in my head, 'Oh fuck, what am I going to do!? what would somebody or.. I guess it’s somepony now, would do if they saw me like this!?" I thought to myself about different outcomes playing through my head, all of which didn't end well with me looking like a teen version of Celestia's worst enemy.
I ran around the tree trying to think of what to do like some idiot, I jumped into the tree climbing up onto a branch out of view. I looked out from the tree through the leaves and branches at the approaching figures until I could finally get a good look at them.
In front of the figures was a pony a actual pony that was like one of the ponies from the show, what can I say I still couldn't believe what happened to me and that I was in a cartoon, the pony had a blue mane and a white coat and he was running like a mad pony, obviously running from the rest of the figures that were chasing him.
I looked at the other three figures and what I saw made me gasp, The ponies that were chasing him were strange looking ponies with holes in their legs and a black coat, they had wings that looked like bug wings, they didn't have a mane like a pony should and I could see their cold looking blue eyes that I couldn't seem to stop staring at. I knew what they were.
"Changelings!" I said to myself in shock one of the most feared creatures in Equestria as far as we know besides dragons and they were right in front of me, coming straight towards this tree unfortunately.
One of the changelings got a bit closer to the pony and tried to bite his leg but the pony saw him coming and bucked him right in the face with his hind legs and trotted faster, he made it to the lake and reached the tree I was hiding in, he circled around to take cover behind it.
I looked down at the pony, he looked strong with a muscular body, he had a horn so I could tell he was a unicorn he kinda looked like Shining armor but slightly younger, I looked back at the changelings who were now just inches from the tree. As soon as they were close enough the unicorn poked his head from around the other side and fired a magical blast at them.
The changelings all scattered to avoid the shot and hissed in anger, charging at the tree, the unicorn fired round after round at the changelings but just kept missing. Damn he sucked at shooting worse then a storm trooper, the unicorn then started to run again until one of the changelings spit slime right at his hooves.
The pony struggled to get free from the gross slime but to no avail, I watched as the changelings hissed as they slowly got closer to the unicorn ready to strike or so I thought when suddenly they stopped inches from their prey, "Finally we’ve captured you, you’ll be coming with us. And this time you won't escape!" the changeling in the front hissed.
The changelings and unicorn were right under me now, I just watched to observe what would happen next. The pony struggled and looked at the changelings angrily, "I’ll never go back to that hive!" he yelled in anger.
The leader hissed, "You will! You cannot escape, it is your fate." he retorted.
Okay I've seen enough, "Hey if the dude says he doesn't want to go, he doesn't want to go!" I yelled scaring the group below as the changeling leader looked around in fear.
"W-Who said that?" he asked.
I smiled with a devilish plan coming into my mind, using my new long green tail I shot it down towards the changeling leader and rapped my tail around his neck tightly, he gasped as I shot him up into the branches. I made his face come right up to mine our muzzles inches apart from each other.
"I did." I said in a menacing tone of voice. He screamed in pure terror and I threw him right out of the tree with my tail, sending him rolling across the field. I jumped out of the tree out onto the field for the rest to see with my back turned to them.
"WHAT IN TARTARUS IS THAT THING!? Yelled the changeling in fear.
I smiled, "Who am I?" I replied and turned to face the crowd with a evil looking smile, "I'm Disaster and If you don't get out the way you're going to get hurt!" I said clutching my fist threateningly.
The two changelings stared at me with fear until there boss snapped them out of it, "Don't just stand there, get him!" yelled the other changelings who were still getting up off the ground. The changelings looked at him before they started hissing at me.
"Hold it!" I retorted, the changelings stopped to look at me confused, "Don't you know what I am?" I asked them they looked at each other and shrugged I even looked at the leader and saw he was a bit curious too.
I smiled, "I'm a Draconequus, meaning I'm just like Discord. All powerful, I live for chaos," I said leaning in sinisterly, "Are you sure you want to mess with me?"
The two looked at eachother then at me as they started to back away in fear, "Don't be afraid of that monster! Would you prefer to face the queen?" the leader retorted, the changelings looked at him before looking back at me, they hissed and started walking towards me.
"Alright, you asked for it." I said, pulling the Palm of my paw at the changelings making them stop in fear, I pointed my paw at them and...and...and nothing happened, "Oh well… this is… oh crap."
"Get him!!" Yelled the boss before all three changelings charged at me, well if I can't do what the draconequuses do, do what the humans do, swinging my huge tail I slammed all three changelings away from me. I turned around and jumped at the nearest changeling I could get to, swinging my Tiger paw I ripped out his throat and blue blood sprayed everywhere.
The changeling gurgled on his blue blood as it came coughing out of his mouth and spilled out of his neck, he fell to the ground limp. The other changelings got back up and both jumped up at me on either side, I swung my tail at the leader and struck him back to the ground, he rolled away grunting.
I quickly grabbed the other one from the air and impaled him through the stomach with my talons right through his back. My arm now sticking out of it covered in blood, I removed my arm from him and threw the lifeless carcass. I looked over at the last changeling.
The changeling saw me staring right at him and quickly got up to his hooves and started running but that wasn't happening. Flapping my wings for the first time I Propelled myself forward towards the creature and tackled him down to the ground, with me on top of him the changeling then looked up at me pleadingly.
"Please let me go! You can have him just please let me live!" the Changeling pleaded.
I shook my head, "Sorry but if I'm right you're one of Queen Chrysalis subjects and I can't risk her being on my tail for killing one of her own." I retorted as I lifted my talons up two fingers pointing out ready to poke his eyes out.
"No Please! AHHHHH!" he screamed before I struck.
"You promised."
I stopped near inches from the changelings eyes I sighed and looked down at the bug who was breathing heavily in fear I squinted my eyes at him I grabbed his neck and picked him up into the air, "Okay I'll let you live but you tell your queen that the pony killed your comrades, you had to retreat. GOT IT?!" I warned.
The changeling nodded his head quickly, "Alright and if you even think about telling her about me if you so much as say any part of the truth I will find you and I will kill you." I said. I dropped him on his flank and he ran away as fast as he could, I watched as he ran. I turned around and looked at the pony.
He saw me staring at him and tried to run away but failed when he realized he was still stuck in the goo, I walked over to him and he tried to break free to get away still looking at me. I stopped in front of him and raised my paw, bringing it down on the goo that held his hooves I kept scratching at the goo until his hooves were free.
I looked at him to see he had his eyes closed then he opened them to look at his hooves then at me. "Y-you saved me?" He said, surprised.
I waved, "Eh it was nothing, I don't like seeing ponies get ganged up on like that." I replied.
"So you're not going to hurt me?" He asked.
I shook my head, "Nope."
We stood there looking at each other in awkward silence, "Well umm thanks for saving me and stuff but I gotta get going now... see ya." he said turning to leave.
"Wait!" I said, the pony turned around and looked at me curiously.
"What is it?" he asked.
I rubbed my head sheepishly, "Umm... where are you going to?"
"Oh umm I'm not sure telling a weird creature where you’re going is safe... but since you saved me I guess it wouldn't do any harm to tell you," He replied. That kinda felt insulting. I wonder how Discord feels whenever someone says things like that to him. "I'm going to Ponyville to take care of some unfinished business."
My eyes grew wide, "Ponyville?" I asked the stallion nodded, oh my god somebody loves me up there. This is great! Maybe if I could convince this pony he could take me to Ponyville, Then I could find Canterlot from there and start looking for Discord! I coughed, "Say... would it be okay if I came with you?"
His eyes grew big, "What? why!?" he asked.
I rubbed my head, "Well lets say I have some business there too." I replied.
He started to back away, "Umm I don't feel too comfortable with that if thats ok with you... sorry." he retorted.
I lowered my head in defeat but then I got an idea, I smiled then I turned around, "Okay well that's fine I understand. You don't want to be with the guy who saved your life, well good luck to you in getting to Ponyville alive." I said walking away.
"Wait what do you mean?" He asked.
I grinned not turning to face him, "Well since that changeling got away surely their Queen will be furious, surely she’ll come after you, her changelings will be out for your head. But what do I know? Well, see ya around." I replied, walking away.
Three… Two… One…
"Wait!" He yelled.
Gotch'a. I turned to face him, "Yeeeessss." I said sweetly, with my best 'innocent' face. He came up to me with a sigh.
"Okay you can come with me to Ponyville but can you promise to not do anything to attract attention to yourself and protect me if there's trouble? Deal?." He said sticking out his hoof.
I smiled and took the hoof, "Deal," I said and we shook on it. We started walking to who knows where. I looked at him, "So what's your name?" I asked.
He seemed to have been thinking about it before replying, "Star Shield."
"Well shield I think this may be the start of a beautiful friendship." I said, happy to have someone guiding me to where I need to go.
He looked at me annoyed, "We’re not friends." he retorted.
"Okay... Partners." I replied back. He shook his head and we kept walking.
Little did we know, we both may end up very well becoming friends. Or dead. Dead is definitely a possibility.
Night arrived and me and my new partner Star shield were sitting by a dirt road we managed to find earlier today, he said if we followed it for a while it should lead us to a town. That was three hours ago and still no town. He said it could take awhile before we could make it to town...he thinks... which doesn't sit well for me.
"Hey Star, are you sure there's a town at the end of this so called road?" I asked laying on the grass to the side of the road looking at Shield laying a few feet away.
"Of course I'm sure I wouldn't be going down this way if I wasn't," Star retorted.
"Okay if you're so sure." I said when another thought came to me.
"Hey why were those Changelings chasing you anyway?" I asked.
He went silent for a minute before replying.
"Umm you know what they usually want...they kidnap ponies to steal their love and those guys wanted mine." He replied, a bit nervous by the sound of his voice.
"Wait, love?" I asked and I watched as he nodded and then I rolled onto my belly to look at him better and smirked.
"So then that means you like somepony?"
Then he turned to me with an annoyed scowl. "Drop it now, cause I'm not saying nothing." he said grumpily.
"Oh come on spill it."
"No."
"Do it!"
"NO!!"
"Do it ya wimp!"
"Look if you think I'm gonna-" he paused when he saw me start to make a puppy dog face.
Star rolled onto his other side away from me and sighed, "Fine I'll tell you...I met her at Canterlot castle a year ago she was a beautiful mare with a mane of gold and a coat of yellow with a pen and a piece of paper for a Cutie mark," He said with passion and love.
"Sooo she's a writer?" I asked by the description of the Cutie mark.
Star nodded. "Yes she's a writer but her main job is writing notes in meetings with Princess Celestia herself, to copy down for historical records." He replied. That just made me even more curious.
"Wait your girl works for Celestia?"
"Yes she works for Celestia in Canterlot, she lives in Ponyville and has to go back and forth between places. Which, I could never understand why she would deal with something that sounds so stressful." He explained shaking his head.
"So what's her name?" I asked and then he turns back at me.
"Golden ink," He chuckled, "All though I prefer to call her Goldy plot because you know she has this bad habit of leaving dirty ink plots on the page and she has..." He stopped and blushed at what he almost said about his girl. "...Umm you know what, lets stop there and stop talking about her."
I laughed at his embarrassment, "Ha okay well she sounds like a nice gal." I complimented.
Star nodded, "Yeah she sure is, hey do you have a girl?" he asked with a raised brow.
My expression saddened and I looked away from him, "Once." I said in a sad mournful way.
"Oh uhh sorry." he replied turning away catching my drift, "Well I guess we should go to bed huh?”
"Yeah I guess... Goodnight Star shield." I said
"Goodnight Lizard." He said before we went to sleep
*****
In my dreams I could see nothing but endless darkness everywhere I turned darkness, I kept looking and walking around in this darkness until suddenly there was a flash of light and I shielded my eyes when the light disappeared I looked to see Discord in its place.
"Hey aren't you supposed to be stoned?" I asked while he simply chuckled.
"Ha, ha yes I am a statue right now but if you haven't noticed you’re a draconequus like me now." he retorted.
I raised a brow, "Uhh yeah thanks for that by the way, but that doesn't explain you being here. How are you here?" I retorted back as he shook his head.
"No you don't understand, the energy I used to make you what you are now is the same energy that flows through my veins," he explained pointing to himself, "In other words kid now that you carry the power of chaos with you I have access to your little head even if I'm a rock."
"Okay, I guess that makes sense," I reply nodding and then look at him with a different question, "Speaking of chaos why is it that I couldn't use it when I needed to kick those changelings asses earlier today!?" I asked
"Hmm maybe you weren't using your imagination." He said, leaning in closer to my personal space.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
Discord sighed, "Alright I guess I'm going to have to explain this through, listen closely because I'll only say this once, got it?" He said and I nodded.
"Okay. You see, chaos is an unpredictable force of destruction, no one knows its true potential not even me, but it is controllable. Well, for the most part, it can only be controlled through ones imagination and emotions." he explained like he was a certified teacher, "If one combines Imagination with emotion you can use the power of chaos."
"But what kind of Imagination and emotions can I use?" I retorted raising my brow.
"With Imagination anything is possible if you can just think it up," He said raising his hands up together and then spreading them out into a rainbow. "As for emotion, you can use any one Happiness, Anger, Sorrow there are so many emotions you can use!"
He then put his hand over my heart and smirked, "And by the feelings in your heart I can feel many emotions." He said sinisterly as I started to back away.
"Look just show me how to use my power okay!" I demanded.
Discord rolled his eyes and put out his hand and over it appeared a small pink cloud, "See my Cotton candy clouds what do you think emotions are in here?"
I put a finger to my chin, "Hmm I would think Happiness right?" I answered.
he scoffed, "Sure if you want to go with that but watch what happens once I fill it with Sorrow." he said then I watched as he put his other hand over the cloud and it started to glow but nothing happened but then he looks at me, "Taste it."
I hesitantly take a piece of the cloud and put it in my mouth, "Bleh it tastes sour!"
Discord laughs, "Yes but watch now when I switch Sorrow with Hate." he said and again he put his hand over the cloud and it started to glow but this time the cloud started to change shape and shift, I gasped when it grew a pair of eyes and started to growl. I tried to poke it but as soon as I did the little cloud tried to bite me with its sharp fangs and Discord laughed again.
"Ha remember my young friend, every Imagination every Emotion will give you something new....and something chaotic." he said as he lifted his hand to my forehead and flicked my head causing me to fly back into darkness.
****
I woke up the next morning and looked around for Star shield who was nowhere in sight, "Oh man I cant believe that son of a bitch left me!" I yelled in heated anger.
"Hey!" Called the familiar voice and I look behind me to see Star standing over me, "Don't go getting mad at something that isn't true!" Star retorted.
I rubbed the back of my head, "Heh, heh oops."
Star shook his head,
"Come on I got some info from a traveling wagon that came by earlier while you were asleep they said there's a bar somewhere nearby that could give us detail on where to go to get to Ponyville."
"Wait a wagon? Why didn't you ask for a ride?" I asked disappointed that we still had to walk more.
Star looked back at me angry, "The ponies on the cart saw you and said they didn't want to be near somepony who looks like something that crawled out of tartus." he retorted.
"Ouch." Was all I said.
Star shield raised a brow, "Yeah, hey remember when you said to those changelings about your power of chaos? Can you even do it?" he asked
I looked at my hand and strained my eyes, "Only one way to find out?"
I took a deep breath I started to focus my Imagination on a Cotton candy cloud like Discord made and then reaching into my heart I used my happy thoughts and focused, I could feel energy pulsing through my body to my arm and then to my hand and feel it coming out into something, I open my eyes and looked down to see a small candy cloud.
Star got closer and looked at the cloud, "Well I guess you can control chaos huh?"
I smiled, "Yeah I guess I can," I replied and then I stopped the flow of magic through my hand making the cloud disappear and I look at Star, "Lets go!"
Star nodded and we started to walk to our destination and as we were walking I only thought one thing, what kinda emotion does Discord feel when he uses his chaos?
Later after hours of walking me and Star shield were still walking down the dirt road to the Bar where Star thinks we can get some info on were to go to get to Ponyville, I groaned and grunted in frustration I was so hungry I felt like I could rip of Stars Flank and eat it.
I looked up at Star leading in front of me, "Hey Star shield when are we gonna get to this place you talked about earlier?" I asked.
Star looked back at me frustrated, "No closer then the other times you asked now come on I bet its right over this hill." he replied looking back up the road trotting a bit faster.
"Easy for you to say." I retorted then I got an idea and smirk then running a bit faster I jump right onto Stars back.
Star looked up at me angry, "What the hell are you doing?" he asked angrily.
I started to kick his sides, "Gidey up my little pony!" I yelled trying to make him go back to trotting but that wasn't happening for as soon as I said that he started to buck and rock me of his back making me fall to the ground, turning to me Star looked down at me.
"Get serious and come on we got to find that bar and get to Ponyville." he said turning around and continuing to walk up the hill, "the sooner were there the better."
I got up from the ground and followed behind Star and when we finally reached the top of that hill we looked further down the road to see a building with smoke coming out the chimney.
Star looked up at me and smirked, "See I told you now come on, we can get some information and maybe direction to Ponyville... and maybe something to eat." he said looking at me.
I smiled at those word and ran up next to my partner, "Lead the way my friend."
He shook his head, "I'm not your friend."
"Buddy?"
"No."
"Pal?"
"NO!"
We kept walking until we were in front of the building and got a good look at it, it would look like any bar you would see from old rundown wall to cracked window and that's just the place inside we could hear yelling and screaming and then suddenly a pony flies out the window and crashes onto the ground with a knife sticking out his back, don't worry the guy got back up and limped away.
Star watched as the guy limp away and then turned to see me at the door slowly opening it, "Hey wait a minute!" I said running next to him.
i let go of the door to let It close back and looked at me, "What is it now?"
"Are you sure about this I mean did you see that guy with the Knife in his back!" Star replied pointing to the pony still limping away.
i rolled my eyes, "Look we need to know were we are and the only way to do that is to get some information from here," i retorted pointing a finger at the door, "and besides you were the one who wanted to come her and I don't plan on wasting the whole time we walked here just to not do anything and aren't you hungry too?"
He was about to retort but then betrayed by his stomach that made a loud growl and I looked at him with a smirk and he rubbed his head, "Well yeah I'm hungry but what if something happens? he replied."
I scuffed, "Don't worry if there's trouble I'll handle it like I promise." I said then grabbing the door I burst it opened, "Waiter your finest table please!" I yelled through the bar then my eyes grew wide at what I was dealing with.
Sitting at every table in the room there was a pony that looked like something that came from hell itself and some other species as well, ponies carrying Knifes and big swords while wearing helmets and armor of all kinds, I saw a minotaur with a huge battle axe on his back with scars all over his body and one big scare going down his left eye.
At another table there was three griffons who didn't look to friendly the first one was carrying two twin sword across his belt and armor that was covered in furs of some unfortunate beast his feathers and fur matted, the second one had a hammer and he had a scare across his beak and the third I think is the leader because he was bigger had a big sword across his back and I mean big I even think it was as big as the minotaur's axe but I wasn't sure because the rest was out of view.
I gulped and leaned back slowly to Star, "Follow close behind me and whatever you do, do not show your fear." I said looking at Star and his horrified expression he nodded and we slowly went into the bar walking by table's everypony there staring right at us.
We manage to make it to the counter and sat down at the stools and relaxed then I looked up at the bartender pony and took back when I saw his face it was horrible he had a ear missing and he had no mane to speak of his muzzle was slightly twisted and he had a big wart on his cheek and his other side with no cheek at all his teeth in total view and a eye patch.
I stared at him for some time until, "What are you staring at you..." the bartender paused to lean in to look at me better, "...what in tartuse are you?"
I shook my head from my daze, "Uhh I'm just a wandering creature like anypony else here." I replied a bit nervous.
Star stared at me then at the bartender, "Excuse me sir you wouldn't happen to know how to get to Ponyville from her or at least have a map?" he asked just a nervous as I was.
"Hmm maybe if ya got the bits for it." he smirked.
Star sighed and levitated a bag onto the counter and opened it revealing a bunch of bits and set a few on the counter for him the bartender took the bits and started shuffling them like a greedy Mr. Scrooge, "Ehmm," Star coughed getting his attention back, "now for that Information."
The bartender then went under the counter and pulled out a rolled up piece of paper, "Here's a map you can have to navigate your way around, now can I do anything else for ya?"
"Yes If you could please bring me and my cohort here a drink and something to eat?" he asked.
He looked at me then back at Star, "What does he eat?" the bartender retorted and Star looked at me questionably.
"What do you eat?"
You know that was a good question Discord is both a dragon and a pony so maybe he can pretty much eat anything Spike could eat gems and there was hay for normal ponies, "Uhh I guess you could give me anything you would a pony I guess?" I answered deciding to try that first.
The bartender nodded and left leaving us alone, we sat there in silence for a while then Star looked up at me, "So could you tell me why you need to go to Ponyville?" he asked I rubbed my head.
"Well its not Ponyville per say that I need to get to its what beyond that you see there's somepony I need to see in Canterlot." I replied I thought telling the truth would be best better to make better trust although I think i'll keep the who part to myself.
Star raised a brow but shrugged, "Okay that sounds nice so when we get to Ponyville I guess we'll be going are separate ways then huh?" he said looking down at the counter.
"Yeah I guess but its for the better right," I said leaning in closer to Star, "Besides wouldn't you prefer to find that girl of yours?"
He blushed and turned away, "Yeah and when I do it'll be the best time of my life," Star said sighing and looking back at up at me, "and I hope you find who you looking for to Disaster."
I smiled then look to see the bartender come back with two sandwiches and drinks, "Here ya go lads Two dandelion sandwiches and some hard cider." he said and laid the meal before us.
I picked up my sandwich and looked at the flowers and stuff sticking out of it I look at Star who was eating his sandwich and then back at mine then I shrugged and took a bite, it wasn't that bad it tasted like a normal sandwich crunchy and filled with flavor even the flowers were good, "So what do we do now that we got are map?" I asked Star with my mouth full.
Star swallow his food, "We set our course and head to Ponyville." he said flatly then continued eating.
I nodded that sounded like a simple plan easy and quick shame though I thought this would end in a adventure oh well, continuing eating I scarfed down my sandwich until it was all gone then I worked on my cider true I never had a drink before but hey don't hate it till you try it.
But that was a mistake for the cider was a bit strong and I spited out to the side sadly I spitted it right into a ponies face, he turned to me with an angry scowl and rose up from his chair and looked at me.
"Oh uhh sorry about that, Umm would it help if I buy you a drink sir?" I said hopping to calm his anger but was answered by him pulling out a knife in his hoof and jumped at me it pointed at my face just before it could even touch me I grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground twisting his arm I made him drop the knife and looked at him with pure furry.
"Sir if you want to keep living you will go sit somewhere else." I said sinisterly pointing my claws at his throat, he nodded and letting him up I watched him walk to another part of the bar when he was gone I look around to see everypony watching I coughed and sat back down next to Star.
"You had to make a scene just when we were about to leave didn't you." Star sighed knowing as well as I that this could lead to trouble.
Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look to see a bird hand on my shoulder and I look behind me to see the griffon leader with the big sword, "That was quiet the fighting moves you showed there boy you had that guy pinned in a minute." the griffon complemented with a gruff voice.
"Uhh thanks I had some practice." I replied and the griffon smirked.
"You wouldn't mind sparing with me now would you boy?" he said drawing his sword for me to see, it was a big sword wide and long it reached out all the way to the floor one side was flat and the other really sharp and well polished and had a dragon the stretched all the way down to the curved end that curved up to a certain point the end of the sword turned it a curved blade.
I looked from the sword to the owner, "Uhh that's a nice blade but I have to decline I only fight in self defense." I retorted turning back around but then turned again by the brute.
"Oh is that so well my boy lets say that your life was on the line what would you say then?" he said leaning in on me with his blade between me and him.
I closed my eyes and gently moved the blade from in front of me, "Well if that was the case," I said then I opened my eyes filled with anger again, "I would take that sword and shove it so far down your throat instead of dying you'll grow a bot belly."
The griffon turned back to the other griffons at the table and they got up and started to come over and he looked back at me, "Well looks like we got ourselves a tough guy, maybe you wont talk so big when I kill you and see what I can get selling you hide!" he yelled then charged at me with his sword over his head.
I flipped over the table just in time to avoid the sword crashing into the counter then reaching over it I clawed at his face scratching out his left eye and he screamed in pain like an eagle/lion then I looked to my left to see the griffon with the hammer climb over the table and charged at me swinging his weapon.
Ducking from the blow I charged at him and jabbed my claws into his chest forcing my hands in he screamed and fell to the side, I turned around to see the leader getting his sword out the wood and climbing over the counter he came at me again this time I grabbed the huge blade between my hands I pushed it back from me with the griffon trying to bring it down on my head.
I hear the sound of thumping behind me and look to see the other griffon charging at me with his twin swords, I closed my eyes expecting to be dead but reopened them to see the griffon with the hammer that the other griffon had smacked into his face and he fell to the floor in a bloody puddle I looked from the dead grif to Star who had the hammer.
"Is it always going to be like this with you?" Star asked I just shrugged and looked back up at the last griffon.
"You killed my team you will pay for this!" he yelled trying to force the sword down harder, feeling my strength failing I slowly slid my tail under the griffons back leg and grabbing him I pulled my tail causing him to fall back and let go of his sword that flew into the air.
Catching it I brought the curved end of the sword to his neck, "Okay if I let you go you have to go away and leave us alone alright?" I said he grunted and nodded in defeat then climbing back over the table I started to walk away with his sword until suddenly I hear screaming behind me and i turn around to see the griffon with a knife in his hand jump at me right over the counter.
Swinging the sword with all my might I hit him right into his midsection cutting him in half his drops of blood falling to my face and watched as his lower and upper body fell to the floor I breathed heavily and looked around the bar at everypony, "Well anypony else want to try and fight me?" I asked and everypony went back to their own business.
*****
Leaving the bar me and Star were walking down the road again Star looked up at me with the leader griffon sword slung over my shoulder, "Why did you bring that with you?" he asked.
I shrugged, "It looked cool and I'm getting tired of using my claws until I get better at using my powers I'm going to have to defend myself some how," I explained then looked at Star, "you surprised me though saving me with that hammer."
Star smirked, "Well your not the only one with fighting skills."
"Like how you tried to shoot those Changelings yesterday and missed every shot?"
Once again I was walking through the darkness that is my dreams, I kept walking in the darkness until a bright light appeared and Discord was standing in front of me with a not to pleasing look.
"Well hey Discord I thought you would appear sense I don't really dream anything anyway." I joked rubbing the back of my head.
"What in the name of tardis are you doing boy?" Discord asked leaning into my face with his.
I raised a brow, "What did I do?"
Discord groaned and backed away from me, "I mean why aren't you using your power I didn't give you the power of chaos to brag about." he said pointing at me.
I sighed, "Look man I've been trying really I've been using my emotion like you told me and thinking with my imagination but when I try to use my magic all that comes out are tiny things." I retorted, I have been trying to use my power like he told me to and I only succeeded in only making a tiny cotton candy cloud and a sheath for my new sword and that alone was hard work.
Discord raised a brow, "What emotions were you using?"
"Uhhh Happiness, Joy other emotion like that." I replied and suddenly the guy slapped me across my face and I went falling to the ground rubbing my I looked up at him, "What the hell!"
He shook his head, "Boy I knew you were stupid before but now you really pass my expectations." he said and sighed I got up from the ground and scorned at him.
"And please tell me what I did wrong?!" I demanded.
"What you did wrong," Discord said as he but his hand to his hips, "how strong is you happiness and joy Boy?"
I shrugged, "I don't know strong enough, what does this have to do with my power though?" I asked.
"Boy what did I tell you before your power is based on how strong your emotions are.." he paused to put his hand on my shoulder, "..and be honest...do you really have any happiness left in your heart?"
I opened my mouth to answer but it closed and I bowed my head, did I really have any happiness left in me....after losing her, I looked back at Discord, "Alright if I don't have any happy emotion left then what should I do?" I asked.
"What else but to give into your dark emotion." Discord said holding out his claws evilly, "Think boy you have other emotions Hate, Anger, Fear, Frustration use them!"
I thought about it for a minute, "But what if I don't want to use those emotions?
Discord sighed, "Well I guess you don't have to but it would be more fun to see your power reach It peek plus," he said then lifting his hand, "Aren't you curious of what chaos you could bring." he snapped his fingers and an anvil hit the top of my head.
****
I shot up from the ground fully awake in pain, "Ouch!" I screamed that anvil felt so real I could feel it now, after rubbing my head I looked around to find Star shield working on the map.
Star shield looked up at me, "Oh your awake good, you know your a pretty heavy sleeper." he said I got up and walked to him.
"So did you figure out how to get to Ponyville from here?" I asked.
He nodded, "Yup its a long way to get there but we can make it if we take a train from Trotting Ham and ride there." Star replied pointing to a what I think is a city on the map.
I smiled, "Great so how long till we get there?"
"Two weeks."
My smile instantly disappeared, "Two weeks is it really that long!?" I asked astonished Star nodded and started putting his saddle bag, "Yeah I know its a bit long but hay lets look on the bright side we now have a way there."
I sighed and nodded but then I thought of something, "Hey were did you get that saddle bag?"
He looked at me and scowled, "You have a sword I have a bag lets stop it there and get going." he retorted continuing to pack.
I shrugged and went back over to my now sheathed sword picked it up and slung the strap over my shoulder, "Alright lets go."
*****
Back at the Bar we abandoned yesterday the barbarians were having their usual fun drinking and fighting with one another till suddenly the door busted open everypony looked to see a least likely creature entering the building, standing in the door way was a small group of Changelings standing in the door.
One came forward dressed in armor and slightly bigger then the rest, "Did anypony here see a Unicorn and a strange creature roaming around and coming past her earlier?" the Changeling hissed.
"Maybe so what if we did, what about it?" asked the bartender at the counter rudely.
The Changelings behind the armor one hissed until he raised a hoof and they stopped, "You see my good stallion one is very important and the other has to pay for killing our comrades."
A pony at a table scuffed, "So what if one of you bugs die."
The Armored Changeling looked at him and stopped his hoof as soon as he did five of the Changelings behind him jumped at the pony at the table and attacked him, the pony screamed in terror as the Changelings ripped at him and when they got off of him he was covered in bite marks and blood.
"Now that I have your attention," the leader said getting everypony's attention back, "we are willing to pay anypony to hunt down these two and bring them in to us." then pulling out a bag from his side he threw it down and when it hit the ground a bunch of bits fail out.
"And there is more if you bring back the unicorn unharmed and safe as for the strange creature you can do as you please."
"So what do you need of the unicorn?" said a deep loud voice in the back.
The Changeling looked to see the minotaur, "That is none of your concern all we wish is for you to find him and bring him back to us and all this is yours." he said pointing to the coins on the floor.
The Minotaur got up from his seat revealing his true length he was so tall he almost reached the ceiling he walked in front of the Changeling and bend over to be face to face with him making him a bit nervous, "I accept your offer," he said then looking back at the rest of the ponies, "come on boys lets make some bits!"
Everypony yelled in the room and followed the giant out the door to their targets, the changeling leader smiled as he watched them leave and chuckled, "The queen will be very please when we bring back her 'little pony'."
