After over a year in hiding, Screwball returns to get revenge on Fluttershy, for "corrupting" her father.
After Discord was once again, turned to stone. He leaves a finale message to his daughter, asking her to go into hiding until he is able to free himself. One year later. Screwball hears rumors, that a certain Pegasus, has corrupted her father with her beliefs in harmony. Now, Screwball must take her revenge on the ponies herself. Now to stop her, the Mane six must delve into the past's of both father and daughter.
In a strange and chaotic landscape, there was an odd dragon like figure with a horses head crowned in both a dear and a ram's horn, sat panicking in his large throne. Around him, half a dozen ponies with strange glowing jewelry, all levitated off the ground, covered in a rainbow like aura; they were the elements of Harmony: two earth ponies, two pegasi, and 2 unicorns filled thier ranks.
They're power irradiated from them: combining to form a huge rainbow like beam, about to strike down the insane god of chaos. The once prideful lord of chaos, now looked like he was about break into tear, crying for mercy. This was it, the monster that had almost destroyed their bonds forever, along with everything else the held dear, had been reduced to terrified mess, helpless to stop the enevtalble. Little did they know: some pony else was watching.
Looking out from afar, a certain odd little pony, with swirly pink eyes, watched in horror, as her father was emveleped, in a strange circle of rainbow colored lights, tearing up praying this wasn't happening. She saw one last bright blast of blinding light, before looking out in horror, one last time. She watched in shock, before breaking down in tears. Her father, the all powerful of chaos, had once again been reduced to a mear statue, with a look of fear and desperation frozen onto his still face. As the sarrounding landscape began to revert back to normal, the six cheered in celebration. Happy that it was finally over, the power of friendship and harmony had prevaled.
But Screwball on the other hand, had a much different view of thing. As her horror turned into fury, she prepared to charge in and kill the six. Not caring for anything eles, but watching those ponies pay for what they had just done. But before she could make a single move, she felt a strange force stopping her.
She looked around in confussion, only to her hear an all too familiar voice.
Discord: Wait.
She jumped up in shock. "Daddy?" She looked around for her father, but to no avail.
Discord: Not yet. If you go after them now, they'll just hit you with that..... rainbow light..... blast..... cannon thingy too. For now, just go and wait till the time is right.
Screwball froze in place; too stunned by the words that had just entered her mind. She had no idea what to think. But at that moment, she didn't care what happened to her. Just as long, as she made those six bastared ponies pay for what they just took from her. But none the less, while trying to fight back the tears in her eyes, the now sniffling little pony nodded her head. "Ok daddy." She burst into tears, as she realized there was no telling when and if she was ever going to see her father again.
Discord: Shh. Don't worry child, I'll be back soon enough. Till then, just run along and stay hidden for now. Let the fools have this victory, one battle will not stop the destruction of order for long. Soon my dear, we will make them suffer for this, but not now.
She tried to fight back the tears again, to no luck. Her mind quickly went back to just running out and killing them. Her eyes burst in rage, as she once again stair down at the six mercilious monsters, only thinking of painful ways to destroy them. But before she could carry out this deed, something started rubbing her chin. It was her father's now invisible touch, trying to comfort her.
Discord: Please do not cry my dear, I can asure you, that your daddy is still and will always be very much here. Now just ease your mind, know that I'll be fine. And when I get back, will both have our revenge. We'll make celestia and all her little ponies pay for what they have done today, and every other day we had to watch the full and her preciouse little ponies try to tame the worlds beutiful chaos, all while laughing and chewing on cotton candy popcorn, as all her little ponies all drown in choclate rain. But for now, it's time for you to hide, my little spawn. And just wait for your daddy to come for you. Becouse only then, will we finally be free.
She finally managed to wipe away the rest of the tears, and gave out a little smile.
Discord: Good, now run along and find a place to hide. As soon as I get free again, It'll be time to make the little fools suffer. And then, we can have our own little chaotic kingdom, built on the remains at what was once Equistria.
He gave out an evil chuckle, before silencing.
She looked down and gave one last hateful look at the monsters that had just taken everything from her, hoping to do the same to them one day, before finally leaving. Knowing that soon, her father will find another way out, and they will be together again. But little did she know, The Lord of chaos just might have a little change of heart.
Meanwhile, down below where she had standing, the six had stopped cheerring. After laying eyes on the look of absolute horror and pain, now frozen onto the face of thier enemy; it was pretty hard to celebrate. Even after all the sadistic things he had done to them that day, it was still hard think about what they had just done to him.
"Come on girls. We should go." A certain purple unicorn named Twilight said bluntly, as all but one of them turned around, without othering another word. But not all of them were leaving so soon.
Fluttershy, a timid young pegiesus with a fitting yellow coat and long pink hair that covered half her face, stood there and watched. She was in a trance from looking into the scared expression, now stuck on Discord's face. As she continued starring at his still, but life like form: a look of remorse and pity grew on her face. She knew he was a monster. She knew what he had done. But still.... "Did he really deserve this?" She solemly spoke to herself, as she comtimplated what it could be like to be scilled in stone: but still alive. Was there another way? Was he really all that bad? Could he have been saved? All of these question flew through her head, as she finally managed to turn away. She looked back to give him one last look of pity, before walking away. Sure of one thing: Not even a complete monster deserved something like that.
Two Years Later
Discord stared up into the beutiful and serene butterfly filled sky, completley board out of his mind. It had almost been a full week of uneventful picnics, repetitive bird watching, nature walks, and whatever else his best friend could think of. He had always wonderd how anyone could stand such things, when they could be out having "real" fun. Like creating rivers of rootbeer through town, making upside down tornados, swithcing the unicorns' horns with the pegasi's wings, or even just turning everyponies' house at at 90 degree angle. The only thing that really entertained him was when her friend.... the pink one, would envite them to another one of her mildly amusing "wild" parties. But even that was mandane, atleast compared to all the fun he was tempted to have. But not now. As far as he was concerned, this was Fluttershy's week; and he was going to let her enjoy herself. After all, this may very well be the last chance he had to make her happy. He swore he would make the most of it. Even if that meant pretending that he wouldn't rather be turned back into a statue, then take care of one more weak injured bunny she found in the woods, without the fun of mutating it into a ferocious monster. Which would have given all the little guy's streght back anyway!
He looked up at the yellow mare herself, while she starred happily through a pair of binoculars. Seeing her look so happy, almost made him forget the thought of summoning a gust to scatter these infernal insects across Equestria. But before he knew it, she put down her binoculars and turned around to see him. He quickly put on a fake smile, and acted like he was paying attention to the swarm of butterflies sarrounding them.
But unexpectedley, this just made Fluttershy start to worry. Discord had gone almost a whole week, without a single prank, or even a sarcastic remark. At first, she just assumed he was just making an extra effort to try and reform, or atleast to impress her. But now... he just wasn't acting like himself. She knew deep down something just wasn't right, causing her to give him a worried frown.
It was not long, before Discord noticed the troubled look on the mare's face. "Is something wrong my dear? Usually, you would be quiet captivated by the movement of tiny animals." He finished, while conjuring one inside the palm of his talen.
"Oh! oh, yes. They are quiet nice." The young Pegasis responded, pulled out of her current daze. She then looked at him with her beutiful, yet worried green eyes. "Discord? Are you feeling... alright? You don't seem lik... like you." She said, starting to look down towards the ground, as a troubled look grew on the spirit's face.
Discord was cought off guard by the question. The girl's queit and docile nature, always made it very easy to forget, she was not as naive and foolish as she may seem. But regardless, he was quick to respond. "Of course. What do you meen?"
"It's just... yo.. you.... seem toubled? That's all." The last part was said so softly, it was practecly a whisper.
The lord of chaos sighed. He knew he was going to have to explain what was happening eventually, but just not now.
Discord: Flutters, I think you shoul...
"DIIIIIISSSSSCOOOORRRRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Several voices said in unison, as sixfigures came running over the horizon. One by one, revealing themselves to be: A furiouse Rainbow Dash, coverd in solid black ash. An equally angry AppleJack, also covered in ash. A dripping Rarity who had an angry look that could not be put in words, with a completley soaked mane. A normal and happy pinkie pie. And finally. A very annoyed Spike, who seemed to be holding...... An infant Twilight? Who was sleeping in a small blanket, he had wrapped her up in.
"YES!!!!!!" The spirit cheered loudly inside his head. He could always count on Fluttershy's annoying friends to interupt him, with their endless complaining about every little thing. Serously, these ponies complained everytime he made a river flow backwards. He grinned, as Fluttershy gave out a very scared and confused look. "So.... What's up?" He casually stated, causing four already furiouse little ponies, to grind their teeth.
"That's It! We're turning him back to stone." a certain pegasus yelled, before flying up to tackle their "friend". Only to be pulled back, by a still angry, but much more calm and level headed farm pony.
"Don't ya play dumb with us, ya varmint. Ya know what y'all done." AppleJack glared, at the serpent. Who in return, only raised an eyebrow and gave her a curiouse glance. She was about say somthing else, but before she could open her mouth, Fluttershy finally worked up the courage to bud in.
Fluttershy:"Girls! calm down. I'm sure if you explain what happened we coul....
RD: He set my cloud house! ON FIRE!!!!!
AJ: Then, he made her house rain ash! ALL OVER THE FARM!!!!!!
Rarity: HE MADE IT RAIN CHOCLATE MILK!!!!!!! ALL OVER THE DRESSES!!!!! I. JUST. NOW. FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pinkie: I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE SO MAD!!!!! BUT IT'S SO FUN!!!!!! Also, I found a lot of threatning letters in my room. They were written in blood for some reason.
Spike simply raised the now tiny Twilight Sparkle, who somehow was just starting to wake up from all this, and let out a soft, yet audible cry. Before he took his turn glaring at the spirit."He also painted "I will get you": all over every book in the Libary." The young dragon stated, in a much calmer, but still frustrated voice.
Fluttershy turned to look at Discord: who just shrugged and gave her an inoccent look. "Girls, I'm sure there's a perfectley good explanation for all this." She stated, as much to herself as to her friends, before calmly contiuing. "Now Spike. Are you sure Twilight didn't just have another magical accident? This wouldn't be the first time, she accidently turned herself into a cute little foal." All this statement did, was turn the young drakes glare towards her, while twilight just kept on crying. She backed away nervously, before letting out a nervouse little chuckle. She then, wisley turned her head towards the other four ponies. "Now everypony should just listen to what Discor..."
Before Fluttershy could finish, she was rather loudly interupted. "We all know he's the one that did this! Stop trying to protect him!" Rainbow Dash snapped at her friend. Causing Fluttershy to jump back, now terified at the cyan pegasus. Seeing the tears forming in her eyes, Rainbow immediatly realised what she had just done. But before she could say another word: there was a blinding flash of light, that soon made way for a now angry spirit.
"Wait just one minute! Pony! You can say whatever it is you came here to say to me! But leave HER out of this!" Discord furiously shouted, while pointing to his now quivering friend. Once again, Rainbow's blood begain to boil over, as she turned back to the angry spirit. "And for your information. I had NOTHING to do with whatever it is, you ponies came here whinign on about!"
"Well, who else could have done all this!" Rainbow pointed her hoof accusingly at Discord; who who only responded by giving her an even more menacing glare. Almost, as if he was thinking about doing some pretty nasty things to the pony. "I even saw that same little pink filly.... thing flying around, that I kept seeing when yo.. ahhh!"
All of a sudden, Discord used his dragon like tail, to grab the pegasus and pull her closer to his face. Rainbow struggled to get free for second, before looking up to glare at the spirit, once again with enough rage to melt a volcano. But to her confusion, the look of anger on Discords face, had some how turned into that of confusion and worry. She was waiting for him to start doing who knows what to her, but for several long minutes, he was uncharacterisctly silent. Not a single sound was coming from usually talkative creature of chaos. It was even starting to creep her out, while fluttershy was now worried about both of them, but had no idea what to do. "Ah, Discord." That was all she managed to say, before the spirit was instantly out of his trance and let the now very confused pegasus go. He then, very calm quietly turned back to Fluttershy.
In a strange and chaotic landscape, there was an odd dragon like figure with a goats head crowned in both a dear and a ram's horn, who sat panicking in his large throne. Around him, half a dozen ponies with strange glowing jewelry, all levitated off the ground, covered in a rainbow like aura; they were the elements of Harmony: two earth ponies, two pegasi, and two unicorns filled their ranks.
They're power irradiated from them: combining to form a huge rainbow like beam, about to strike down the insane god of chaos. The once prideful lord of chaos, now looked like he was about break into tear, crying for mercy. This was it, the monster that had almost destroyed their bonds forever, along with everything else the held dear, had been reduced to terrified mess, helpless to stop the inevitable. Little did they know: somepony else was watching.
Looking out from afar, a certain odd little pony, with swirly pink eyes, watched in horror, as her father was enveloped, in a strange circle of rainbow colored lights, tearing up praying this wasn't happening. She saw one last bright blast of blinding light, before looking out in horror, one last time. She watched in shock, before breaking down in tears. Her father, the all powerful of chaos, had once again been reduced to a mere statue, with a look of fear and desperation frozen onto his still face. As the surrounding landscape began to revert back to normal, the six cheered in celebration. Happy that it was finally over, the power of friendship and harmony had prevailed.
But Screwball on the other hand, had a much different view of thing. As her horror turned into fury, she prepared to charge in and kill the six. Not caring for anything else, but watching those ponies pay for what they had just done. But something stopped her..
She looked around in confusion, only to her hear an all too familiar voice. As an invisible force held onto her, as if a snake had coiled around her small body.
“Not so fast, my dear. Not yet.” His voice whispered into her ear.
She jumped up in shock. "Daddy?" She looked around for her father, but to no avail.
“Not yet. If you go after them now, they'll just hit you with that..... rainbow light..... blast..... cannon thingy too. For now, just go and wait till the time is right.” Discord said, trying to sound calm, like he was still okay.
Screwball froze in place; too stunned by the words that had just entered her mind. She had no idea what to think. But at that moment, she didn't care what happened to her. Just as long, as she made those six bastard ponies pay for what they just took from her. But none the less, while trying to fight back the tears in her eyes, the now sniffling little pony nodded her head. "Ok daddy." She burst into tears, as she realized there was no telling when and if she was ever going to see her father again.
“Shh. Don't worry child, I'll be back soon enough. Till then, just run along and stay hidden for now. Let the fools have this victory, one battle will not stop the destruction of order for long. Soon my dear, we will make them suffer for this, but not now.” Discord tried to say, in the most comforting voice a creature of chaos could muster, as she tried to fight back the tears once again, to no luck. But then, something started rubbing her chin. It was her father's now invisible touch, trying to comfort her. It wasn’t like him to try being so comforting: it felt strange to her, yet good at the same time.
“Please do not cry my dear, I can assure you, that your daddy is still and will always be very much here. Now just ease your mind, know that I'll be fine. And when I get back, we’ll both have our revenge. We'll make celestia and all her little ponies pay for what they have done today, and every other day we had to watch the fool and her precious and naive little ponies try to tame the worlds beautiful chaos, all while laughing and chewing on cotton candy popcorn, as all her little ponies all drown in chocolate rain. But for now, it's time for you to hide, my little spawn. And just wait for your daddy to come for you. Because only then, will we finally be free.” Her father said, chuckling at the end.She finally managed to wipe away the rest of the tears, and gave out a little smile.
“Good, now run my little abomination, run along and find a place to hide. As soon as I get free again, It'll be time to make the little fools suffer. And then, we can have our own little chaotic kingdom, built on the remains at what was once Equestria.”
He gave out an evil chuckle, before silencing.
Screwball looked down and gave one last hateful look at the monsters that had just taken everything from her, hoping to do the same to them one day, before finally leaving. Knowing that soon, her father will find another way out, and they will be together again. But little did she know, The Lord of chaos just might have a little change of heart.

After laying eyes on the look of absolute horror and pain, now frozen onto the face of their enemy; it was pretty hard to celebrate. Even after all the sadistic things he had done to them that day, it was still hard think about what they had just done to him.
"Come on girls. We should go." A certain purple unicorn named Twilight said bluntly, as all but one of them turned around, without othering another word. But not all of them were leaving so soon.
Fluttershy, a timid young pegasus with a fitting yellow coat and long pink hair that covered half her face, stood there and watched. She was in a trance from looking into the scared expression, now stuck on Discord's face. As she continued staring at his still, but life like form: a look of remorse and pity grew on her face. She knew he was a monster. She knew what he had done. But still.... "Did he really deserve this?" She solemnly spoke to herself, as she contemplated what it could be like to be sealed in stone: but still alive. Was there another way? Was he really all that bad? Could he have been saved? All of these question flew through her head, as she finally managed to turn away. She looked back to give him one last look of pity, before walking away. Sure of one thing: Not even a complete monster deserved something like that.
Two Years Later
Discord stared up into the beautiful and serene butterfly filled sky, completely bored out of his mind. It had almost been a full week of uneventful picnics, repetitive bird watching, nature walks, and whatever else his best friend could think of. He had always wondered how anyone could stand such things, when they could be out having "real" fun.

But even that was mundane, at least compared to all the fun he was tempted to have. But not now. As far as he was concerned, this was Fluttershy's week; and he was going to let her enjoy herself. After all, this may very well be the last chance he had to make her happy. He swore he would make the most of it. Even if that meant pretending that he wouldn't rather be turned back into a statue, then take care of one more weak injured bunny she found in the woods, without the fun of mutating it into a ferocious monster. Which would have given all the little guy's strength back anyway!
He looked up at the yellow mare herself, while she starred happily through a pair of binoculars.

But before he knew it, she put down her binoculars and turned around to see him. He quickly put on a fake smile, and acted like he was paying attention to the swarm of butterflies surrounding them.

Discord was caught off guard by the question. The girl's quiet and docile nature, always made it very easy to forget, she was not as naive and foolish as she may seem. But regardless, he was quick to respond. "Of course. What do you meen?"
"It's just you seem ah,.... off? That's all." The last part was said so softly, it was practically a whisper. The lord of chaos sighed. He knew he was going to have to explain what was happening eventually, but just not now.
"DIIIIIISSSSSCOOOORRRRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Several voices said in unison, as six figures came running over the horizon. One by one, revealing themselves to be: A furious Rainbow Dash, covered in solid black ash. An equally angry AppleJack, also covered in ash. A dripping Rarity who had an angry look that could not be put in words, with a completely soaked mane. A normal and happy pinkie pie. And finally. A very annoyed Spike, who seemed to be holding...... An infant Twilight? Who was sleeping in a small blanket, he had wrapped her up in.
"YES!!!!!!" The spirit cheered loudly inside his head. He could always count on Fluttershy's annoying friends to interrupt him, with their endless complaining about every little thing. Seriously, these ponies complained everytime he made a river flow backwards. He grinned, as Fluttershy gave out a very scared and confused look. "So.... What's up?" He casually stated, causing four already furious little ponies, to grind their teeth.
"That's It! We're turning him back to stone." a certain pegasus yelled, before flying up to tackle their "friend". Only to be pulled back, by a still angry, but much more calm and level headed farm pony.
"Don't ya play dumb with us.. Ya know what y'all done." AppleJack glared, at the serpent. Who in return, only raised an eyebrow and gave her a curious glance. She was about say somthing else, but before she could open her mouth, Fluttershy finally worked up the courage to bud in.
"Girls! calm down. I'm sure if you explain what happened we coul....” Fluttershy finally budded in.
“He set my cloud house! ON FIRE!!!!!” Rainbow yelled, now in absolute fury. “Then, he made her house rain ash. All over the FARM! AppleJack followed, still calmer, but definitely saying the last part louder.
“HE MADE IT RAIN CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!!!! ALL OVER THE DRESSES!!!!! I. JUST. NOW. FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Rarity screamed, in a voice that would have made anyone else assume, she was possessed.
“I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE SO MAD!!!!! BUT IT'S SO FUN!!!!!! Also, I found a lot of threatening letters in my room. They were written in blood for some reason.” Pinkie said, putting a hoof under her chin, and raising an eyebrow.
Spike simply raised the now tiny Twilight Sparkle, who somehow was just starting to wake up from all this, and let out a soft, yet audible cry. Before he took his turn glaring at the spirit."He also painted "I will get you": all over every book in the Library." The young dragon stated, in a much calmer, but still frustrated voice.
Fluttershy turned to look at Discord: who just shrugged and gave her an innocent look. "Girls, I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for all this." She stated, as much to herself as to her friends, before calmly continuing. "Now Spike. Are you sure Twilight didn't just have another magical accident? This wouldn't be the first time, she accidently turned herself into a cute little foal." All this statement did, was turn the young drakes glare towards her, while twilight just kept on crying. She backed away nervously, before letting out a nervous little chuckle. She then, wisely turned her head towards the other four ponies. "Now everypony we should listen to what Discord has to say, before ..."
Before Fluttershy could finish, she was rather loudly interrupted. "We all know he's the one that did this! Stop trying to protect him!" Rainbow Dash snapped at her friend. Causing Fluttershy to jump back, now terrified at the cyan pegasus. Seeing the tears forming in her eyes, Rainbow immediately realised what she had just done. But before she could say another word: there was a blinding flash of light, that soon made way for a now angry spirit.
"Wait just one minute! Pony! You can say whatever it is you came here to say to me! But leave HER out of this!" Discord furiously shouted, while pointing to his now quivering friend. Once again, Rainbow's blood began to boil over, as she turned back to the angry spirit. "And for your information. I had NOTHING to do with whatever it is, you ponies came here whining on about!"
"Well, who else could have done all this!" Rainbow pointed her hoof accusingly at Discord; who who only responded by giving her an even more menacing glare. Almost, as if he was thinking about doing some pretty nasty things to the pony. "I even saw that same little pink filly.... thing flying around, that I kept seeing whenever yo.. ahhh!"
All of a sudden, Discord used his dragon like tail, to grab the pegasus and pull her closer to his face. Rainbow struggled to get free for second, before looking up to glare at the spirit, once again with enough rage to melt a volcano. But to her confusion, the look of anger on Discords face, had some how turned into that of confusion and worry. She was waiting for him to start doing who knows what to her, but for several long minutes, he was uncharacteristically silent. Not a single sound was coming from usually talkative creature of chaos. It was even starting to creep her out, while fluttershy was now worried about both of them, but had no idea what to do. "Ah, Discord." That was all she managed to say, before the spirit was instantly out of his trance and let the now very confused pegasus go. He then, very calm quietly turned back to Fluttershy.
“I think we have a little problem”.
Author's Note:This is my first MLP story ever!!!!! But unfortunately, that means my writing my or my not be at its best. (Not that I it's ever at any best.) This story was very loosely inspired by the fan song "Daddy Discord". I would also like to mention that the second half was originally the beginning of another story I was thought of, but when I realized they were both heading in the same direction, I ultimately decided to combine them. I hope you like this story, and please review. I love praise as much as the next guy, but constructive criticism is also very welcomed.
A/N: Sorry for the unforgivable long wait. I assure you I had every attention of getting to you sooner, but………. things happen? But anyway, here we are.
“Okay Discord, what the hay is going on!” Rainbowdash ordered as the spirit was packing Fluttershy’s things for some reason. After Discord’s strange moment of shock had finally worn off, he had teleported them all to Fluttershy’s cottage and started packing her bags.
Instead of giving the pegasus a response; the spirit grabbed the her with his tail (much to her contempt.) “Rainbow, are you sure you saw her. Are you sure it was the same filly.” Discord said almost panicking, with the others catching both that and the fact that he got one of their names correct. Rainbow gave him a confused stare, before answering.
“Yes same filly, hat and everything. But…..” As suddenly as he had grabbed her; he had let her go, and turned to Fluttershy, who was just as confused as the other ponies.”Time to go.” He said blandly, as he grabbed her and magically lifted her bags, the little pony let out a squeak in shock as Discord was about to take her away. But before he could continue: his other “friends” decided to finally intervene intervened.
“Wait there jus one minute Discord, ya’ll aint weavin till ya’ll tell us wats goin on.” AppleJack shouted at him. “Yeah, what gives? And who was that filly anyway!?” Rainbow joined in. “And what about Twilight!” Spike budded in and once again raised the still infantilized pony into the air: who had just started crying.
“I’m not in the mood to go see a bad play, dragon. Now if the rest of you don’t mind, we’ll be going.” As he was about to snap his claws, someone else finally decided to get involved.
”No we're not.” Fluttershy said flatly, as she started to wrestle her way out of her friends hold. “What?” Discord responded, as he let her go. All eyes turned on her. “I’m not going anywhere till you explain what’s going on.” She said, in serious voice.
“Wha.. ha.. how… but…. urgh, you try to help somepony for once and they throw it in your face.” He ended his little rain, with a face-claw and an angry grown, before teleporting all the ponies into a circle. “Okay, you ponies want to know what’s going on?” They all began to open their mouths.”It’s rhetorical.” He said flatly not even acknowledging their glares. “ You know that little filly Rainbowdraft said she saw?” RainbowDash was about to try tackling him again, but Fluttershy put a hoof on her shoulder to calm her friend.
“Who is she.” Fluttershy said, in a calm yet strangely assertive voice.
He gave her one last emotionless look, before he calmly stated.”She’s my daughter.”
“How is she your…… how do you even have a daughter?” Fluttershy asked; now even more confused then ever, as everyone else stared in disbelief.
“Eh, like I said: it’s a long story.” Discord said before snapping his fingers: causing a small fire to burst into life in center: causing the ponies to jump up and glare at the spirit. “Ok, it was 1167 years ago, and my incredibly awesome and beautiful rule over the land was just entering it’s 671.68256191898129611910. Oh, it certainly was a wondrous time…. for the most part...
Flashback
You see, there is only so much you can think of to do to the place after 671.68256191898129611910 years before things….. just got boring again. Yes, sadly even chaos can only go for so long, till it finally loses its flare. But not all hope was lost. You see, I heard rumors of one place in equestria that had some how escaped my chaos, that full of creatures who still lived under the oppression that is order: The Everfree Forest. This news filled me with absolute joy: a whole playground and I was going to bring so much chaos, the place would still be in complete anarchy if dropped dead on the spot, for eons to come. And in a snap of my claw, I was ready to set out and liberate and/or put this poor place out of its misery. But little did that incredibly handsome chimera know: he was going to find something even better then a new playground.
It only took a fraction of a nano-second for Discord to arrive at this so called “safe haven for harmony”, and we he saw appalled him: from his vantage point in the air, he saw a dam redirecting what once was a mighty and highly unstable river, orderly into what looked like a small village made up of several simply made thatched houses perfectly organized to circle around a large brick building that was surrounded by a small market plaza and worst of all; the immediate treeling that should have been a random mismatch of vegetation, seemed to have been destroyed to make way for several field of vegetation that was carefully laid out in organized little rows, all walled off with simple earth and wood bierer.
The spirit of chaos was positively sickened by this cruel injustice to what was once a place a chaotic beauty. “Well well well, my little ponies want to destroy such a beautiful place, huh. Whelp, two can play at that game.” With that said, he was ready to strike. But something distracted him. He heard what sounded like a pony crying in pain. “Huh, maybe there’s a bright side to this yet.” Discord said to himself, flying down to see; hoping maybe the ponies had finally decided to do something fun, like open a cage fighting ring, start a riot, or a fire, or finally have a third civil war. But alas, he should have known not to get his hopes up when it came to them anymore.
He used his magic to camouflage himself, so he blended into the trees. He was now in what was left of the forest, outside the wall. He then moved around till he had a good view of what was going on. That’s when he saw her: she was a small and scared looking pink earth-pony filly surrounded by several much larger and angrier ponies, who all looked like they were going to pounce on the poor little thing.
Oh yes, that was most definitely not what I was expecting to see; though it may have been somewhat my fault….. regrettably! of course. You see, after I started my rain of chaos, I may have did things like go around disguised like other ponies, used my power to trance a for ponies here and there into joining into my fun, and also a few the more open minded amongst them may started worshipping me, and forming cults that help fulfill my perfectly reasonable dream of turning all of the world into an anarchist dreamland, things like that. And I guess, somewhat understandably, all the ponies started to get just a tiny little bitty bit paranoid. So it actually wasn’t for ponies to go on little snipe hunts and some of them actually went as far as going after anypony that stood out: apparently if anypony wasn’t “normal” it just had to be big bad ole handsome Discord’s fault. But that said: Going after a child’s, now that’s, cold even for a guy like me.
The larger ponies continued to circle the small filly, lead by a female reddish-purple colored unicorn. “Child, thou hast been charged with disruption of peace, heresy, and the worship of disharmonious ideas: a crime punishable by death.” She said, before she levitated a large dagger, with a golden handle above the filly. Upon seeing this, the rest of the crowd started and gave each other nervous glances, but kept silent. “Thou is a servant of the demon Discord and a traitor to all of pony kind, and you will now be punished for the irredeemable crime of making a pact with that monster.” She raised the knife above the child’s head, sending a shudder down the poor filly’s spine.
“Oh really now, I don’t remember such a thing” Discord said revealing himself, causing the crowd to jump back horror, and the unicorn to drop the knife.”Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I do purposely forget deals I mad, but I honestly think your little village wouldn’t have still been in such order had I interacted with any of you….. What are you creatures again?. He finished in a casual voice.
As the group stared at the spirit in total horror, they slowly turned towards, their now nervous leader. But none the less, she sucked it up, before standing stood tall and proud.”Silence thy demon! We will not fall for thou tricks!” She said, while charging her horn with magical energy, while Discord cocked his head with a smirk on his face, like he was trying not to break out laughing. In a fraction of a second, she unleashed a blast from her horn, strong enough to clear the trees for hundreds of acres, and caused a mountain of smoke to appear in where Discord was curled up against a tree. After a few moments, they all gave an exasperated sigh of relief. “Oh the AGONY, THE PAIN, HORRO…. HAHAHAHAHAHA.:” The smoke cleared to reveal on unscratched creature on a perfectly intact tree.
“Hahahaha… Ok I must admit that was a little amusing, I mean you ponies are a real blast, but come on that was second rate at best.” The unicorn started to take a few steps back, as her follower turned back to back to look at her. “But... “ She stuttered as before sucking in her fear, yet again. Thys tricks will not best us. Cease thy demon!” She let out another magical blast, while a male pegasus lead the rest into a charge, only for the spirit to bounce the unicorns blast off his paw, causing it to ricochet and knock her through a tree. Right before the pegasus could even touch the spirit fire burst in front and around him and all have his troops, scorching their fur and coming within a fraction of an inch of actually burning them. As the flames died down, the unicorn got back up and teleported away. The other ponies were for a loss of words. “I believe this is where you all run away with your tails between your legs.” On cue, they did just that.
“Whelp, that was fun.” He then spotted the still frightened filly starting to crawl away. “Now where do you think your going.” He said, as he grabbed her with his tail; causing her to let out a little frightened squeak. He took a closer look at the filly: Now noting her fur was a little ruffled up, and there was a little blood dripping from her snot. As she tried to squirm away, he conjured a napkin to wipe her snout and brush he immediately threw away, before ruffling up her fur even more. “So, how are you my dear.” He said, before setting her down. She wasn’t sure what to say, but this strange creature didn’t seem to want to hurt her, at least not now.
Seeing how she didn’t look like she was about to say anything, Discord decided to try asking another question. “Child, what were you doing out here, and who was that unihorn and her little lackeys.” He gave her a calming smile…. while showing her a few fangs. Though oddly enough: that didn’t seem to scare her and she actually started to calm down. “That was the mayor, you see, she thought I was a public nuisance, so she brought me here where all the other ponies that don’t have a place go to… well she never says what they do out here.” She said, though she probably figured it out now.
“Public nuisance? Oh, what did do? Break a window? Pee in a fountain? Do a little stealin? A little vandalism Start some fires?” Discord asked excitedly. It wasn’t often that some ponies decided to let loose, but he always loved it when they finally did. “No.. ah, well yes, all of those. But what they caught me doing was throwing fruit off of town hall.” She said, now letting off a little smile. Discord let out a little smirk in response. “ Well so much for their little talks about harmony and equality, am I right?” She stated to cheer up even more. “How about we both give those little ponies a little visit.” Her smile suddenly disappeared, as she stepped back a little. “Don’t worry my child. I’ll make sure they don’t lay a single hoof on you.” He said, while rubbing his tail against her cheek. She let out another little smile.
As they both made their way towards the town, they were told to halt. The Pegasus from earlier and about two dozen other ponies behind them stood in front of the town’s wall, while half a dozen pegasi charged their horns on the top of the wall.
One minute later.
The mayor coward behind her desk as two figures entered her office, the town outside now in complete ruin, after a completely one sided battle.
After we were done liberating the forest of harmony, we looked upon our work with joy, this little unnamed filly really had a knack for this. Me and her spent the entire day, thinking of all kinds of different ways to help the inhabitants of that town learn the joys of chaos.(For Fluttershy might faint reasons, I have chosen to leave those parts out.) I was starting to really come to like this child. But then I realized something, after spending an entire day with this unnamed child, I have never met before and know little to nothing about: I forgot to ask her if she wanted anything to eat.
In the floating ruins of a rainbow colored black castle, a small child sat at a table that was somehow made of butter scotch jello. Looking around, you would notice that what was left of the walls seemed to be painted in slurry blobs of random color, that to slowly shift whenever you turned your back and the windows would show random images of everything, but whatever was outside. “Brunchinnerack time is served!!!!” Discord yelled, as he flew through a solid reinforced concrete and steel door, that led into the dishwasher. He flew in front of where the child was seated and pulled out a 16.7 ft stack up mint bubblegum cottoncandy flavored waffles, with chocolate maple syrup, and a gallon milk jug of root beer flavored chocolate milk, causing a huge smile to spread across the child’s face. The very second discord sat down the food, she leaped onto the the platter and started digging in.
The spirit smiled at the sight of the young filly digging into her dinner like an unkempt wild animal, before sitting down in his personal throne that showed up out of nowhere. But then, thought of something else he hadn’t asked her yet: What was her name?
This whole time, he had not given a single thought into finding out more about this little creature. Not that it really mattered, but still, he was starting to grow curious. “Excuse me child..” She jumped a little before staring up at her new “friend”, one chunk of a waffle still hanging from her mouth. “Forgive my intrusion of your gourmet meal, that was obviously crafted by a master chef, but I don’t think I ever got your name, my dear.” Her happiness immediately disappeared, as she drooped down. Noticing this, Discord cocked his head, sensing that strange feeling he often felt radiating off of other ponies; but for once it didn’t seem to be directed at him. It was odd feeling for him, even to just be around somepony feeling it. It was almost like… NO, not even going there, he told himself, before hearing the look back towards the child.
“Uhm… I don’t really want to...:” Discord put his claw on her mouth, not really sure why he did it.
“Shh Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” He said, while wrapping his tail around her, still not at all sure of why he was doing, but that probably, just made the world a little more chaotic
And that is why I’m not telling anyone, exactly what she told me. Moving on.
After we got that out of the way, I took the child out to see my little kingdom. Oh, the girl couldn’t have been more astounded. I know others have embraced my rule, but that was only after experiencing it long enough, for all the joy and beauty of chaos to sink in. But with her, it all just seemed to come so naturally. She enjoyed chaos with or without my rule, and was one of the few ponies to see harmony and order, for revolting things they are. After just one day, I was actually starting to…. to get a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long, long, long, long time. I was actually starting to care for her….
Discord and the Filly looked out into the chaotic landscape: the sky was a mass of random colors dotted with pink clouds, that rained chocolate milk. The land was full of random floating objects, melted clock, upside down mountains, peanut butter, and nervous ponies, that would either bow before Discord or cower and the ruins of what might of actually been a major city, at one point or another. With a snap of his claw, the ground started to shake, causing the ponies to jump in fear, and the young filly to burst out laughing. Discord smiled at the site of her happiness, before tapping her on the shoulder and pointing behind them. There, a large orange and blue hill had appeared, topped off with both a large and a small green and yellowish-orange throne. She looked up at him with a huge smile, as he nodded and guided her to her seat, before pouring both of them, a large glass of chocolate milk.
“Kid, watch in learn, I’ll show you every single big little thing there is to know about spreading chaos around….. whatever the name of this country used to be.” She was looking up to him with a huge smile on her face, as she took everything in. She remembered how all of the other ponies used talk about a monster that lived outside the walls, and if anypony ever ran into him, he would do unspeakable things to them. But from what she saw, he had been nothing but kind to her, and he only used his magic only for the entertainment of himself and the ponies around him. Admittedly, even she was more than a little creeped out about by what he did to the mare and her guards, but it’s not like they didn’t deserve it. For all the time she was there; all the adult ponies did was shun her, tell the other fouls to do the same, let the other fouls get away with throwing stuff at her, but punish her if she ever did the same, and they’d only reluctantly give her anything to eat, or let her have a bed, but still told her that the monster and her ways of chaos were bad.
On contrast, this monster was nothing but nice to her and he was the only one to ever, encouraged her to be what she was, without threatening to throw her out to the “wasteland” they always spoke of. “(yawn) Well it’s been fun kid, but I think it’s time to we split up.” ‘WHAT!!!’ The filly thought, as his statement hit her like a mare knocking her into a dirt road, for coming too close to her daughter. “So, where would you like me to dro…” Before he could finish, the young pony jumped on him and hugged him so tightly, he almost lost his breath.
“No! please don’t go!” She screamed, with tears starting to form, as she squeezed even tighter. Discord didn’t know what to think. It was unusual enough that a pony actually being appreciating his company, but now willingly wants to stay with him?
“Is there something wrong, my dear. It seems like you don’t want me to leave you, for some reason.” He said, deciding to try that empathy thing so many ponies had tried to talk him into, for some weird reason. He looked down, into her teary eyes, still not sure what to make of her. She swallowed a lump in her throat and sniffled a little, before she spoke.
“Please mister monster, you.. you're the only one thats ever been nice to me.” She sniffled some more, before wiping her eyes and trying to stop anymore tears from falling. “Please let me stay with you, I don’t want to go back, please. I’ll do anything.” She said, as the monster held her up closer and wiped away the remainder of her tears. He looked her over a little more, now filled with something…. he thought Tia called it pity the last time she and the freedom fighters came to visit. Then he got an idea.
He looked her over some more, trying his best to do that comforting thing, and thought it over some more. He had never used this trick before, it might not work, its effects were irreversible, he only had a vague idea about what it did, and it he had only just met this child. But, he wouldn’t be the unpredictable lord of chaos and disharmony, if he wasn’t willing to take a few big chances. Finally, he gave her a smile, before sitting her back down. “Are you sure?” She looked up at him, a little hope being restored. “Are you absolutely sure this is what you want?” He said, in an, uncharacteristic ominously serious voice, that even he didn’t no he had. “Because, there is a one way I could make it so, that you would never have to leave my side again.”
Suddenly out of nowhere, she jumped up into the air with a new aura of enthusiasm and excitement. She was about to scream with joy, but a certain talon pressed itself against her lips. “But, it comes with a price. You see once this is done, our bond will never break, but you may never be the same again, my dear.” He said, before moving his claw away from her.
“YES!!!!!!!YES!!!YES!!!!!!! I’ll always say YES!!!!!!” She said with so much enthusiasm, even a stick in the mud like Tia could never say no. He smile and messed up her mane.
“Ok. Just sit back.” She listened with an enormous unbreakable grin on her face. Normally Discord didn’t even have to try to make anything happen, it just happened with a little thought. But for this, he needed all of his concentration and power. He raised both his paw and his claw, and enveloped them in a glowing dark red aura, that slowly spread across his whole body, as the child waited anksha sly . In a mere fraction of a second, the glowing red aura that had consume his body blasted the little filly, causing her to be covered in the same energy. As the energy consumed every fiber of her being, she grunted, not sure of if it was from pain or just sheer shock. Suddenly, it all stopped. It energy dissipated. She felt cold and wanted to close her eyes and lay down, as her heart slowed down. That’s when it happened. Out of nowhere, she felt a heat surge through her body and jolting her back to life.
I watched as the spell I learned from people older than me took it’s effects. I was admittedly a little worried when her heart almost gave out, but she not only survived, but I sensed a change both physically and mentally about her. Her pupils had turned into purple swirls in her eyes and where a her flank was blank earlier, it was replaced by an interesting ball and screw cutie mark. She was definitely something more than a pony now.
