Kefka looks at the heroes with fear as he starts to fade starting with his legs.

"No... this isn't possible." He said. "All the espers powers at my hands and I am defeated. This isn't possible!" He yells.

"You may have had all of those powers, but you clearly had no clue how to use them." Edgar said as half of Kefka's legs are gone.

"No, I am the one who can use their powers, the one!" He yells. 

"This is for the death of my family." Cyan said. 

"You've gotten what you've deserved." Terra said. She walks away, and soon the others follow. Kefka tries to drags himself after the heroes, when his legs are gone.

"No! I... I won't let you leave!" He yells. 

"See ya!" Celes said as they continued to walk off. Kefka's torso was gone as he continued to drag himself.

"Your a traitor to the empire, Celes! A traitor!" He yells.

"I know" Celes said. She chuckles and shakes her head. Kefka's wings are gone and half his body is gone as the fading speeds up as he watches the heroes leave in their airship. Kefka soon found himself losing consciousness.

"I... guess this... is the end.  If... only I wasn't... mad with power... and didn't go... insane.... I could have made... something that... I didn't make... friends... I wish... I could... live again... and make... friends... and undo... what... I did wrong..." He said with heavy breaths. A short time later the rest of what was left of his broken body dissipated into the air. Kefka could only see darkness. There was a small flicker of light, seeming to come from nowhere.

"So, you wish for a second chance, huh?" Said a mysterious voice. Kefka sees the light.

"Who...who's there!?" He yells.

"Tsk Tsk, how rude, I ask a question, I expect an answer." The voice said again, this time behind Kefka.

"Yes, I want to live again! I want to undo what I did wrong!" Kefka yelled.

"Hahahahaha, you can't change what has already been done. What's done is done, no start overs." The voice laughed, coming closer. "No restarts." It said. Then in front of Kefka appeared a creature who appeared to be an experiment gone wrong, being a creature make up of different animal parts. Kefka could also tell that it was a male.

"Now, unless you're me who can do anything with his powers. For example." The creature said. The creature gave a swirl of his lion's paw, and snapped his fingers, and soon Kefka's body began to ache. Kefka slightly moans in pain.

"Stop. Please, stop..." He said.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just giving you what you asked for!" The creature said.

"I... I didn't know that was what you were doing. I'm sorry." Kefka apologized.

"Now then." The creature said. He started up again and Kfka felt numbness in his right hand, and when he looked, he found it was a white hoof. Kefka's eyes widen.

"Aaaaah!! My hand!" He yells. His body kept changing, his face pushing out to grow a muzzle, and his ears moved to the top of the head where they became pointy, and fur sprouted all over his body. Kefka's breathing began to quicken. It wasn't much longer before he found himself to be an equine stallion.

"Like the new body I gave you?" The creature asked. Kefka looks at his new body and saw that he was wearing his robe.

"What... what did you do to me?" Kefka asked.

"Well, you see, my friend...Kefka, the inhabitants in the world I'm sending you to are talking ponies, so this will help you blend in." The creature said. Kefka's eyes widen.

"How... how do you know my name?" He asked.

"I know everything, Kefka. Your death was rather hilarious. I'm Discord by the way. The god of chaos!" The creature said. Kefka sneers at Discord.

"You dare mock me?" Kefka asked. Discord smirks.

"Is that a challenge I hear? Well, I can easily tell you to screw yourself and you can stay dead if you want. Besides you wouldn't stand a chance against me." He said. Kefka sighs and grumbles.

"Fine. I'm sorry." He said. Discord pats his head and scratches behind Kefka's ear.

"Good boy." He said.

"So... now what?" Kefka asked.

"Now, this is where I send you to Equestria where you shall live out your new life with ponies!" Discord said. 

"I hope that I can make that something that I didn't have before, friends." Kefka said.

"Ugh! What's up with all this friendship stuff! IT hurts!" Discord yelled.

"I don't know, any allies that I had, were killed by me. So I never had a friend before." Kefka said.


"Dear Celestia I hate that word!" Discord yelled. Kefka tilts his head in confusion.

"What word?" He asked.

"Friend, friends, friendship! Those! E-enough stalling! Enjoy your new life!" Discord yelled. He snaps his lion fingers again and the world around Kafka disappears again. Kefka feels dizzy as he loses consciousness. Kefka groans as he regains consciousness. He slowly opens his eyes and looks around, seeing that he was in a forest. It was quiet, save for the winds blowing through the whistling leaves in the trees. Kefka stands up slowly, still dizzy and looks around. He sees a lake near him. He slowly walks towards the lake, tripping a few times. He makes it to the lake and looks at himself and his eyes widen. He notices a white equine with a long horn and a blond mane stare back at him.

"Is... is that me?" He asked. He moves and his reflection copied each move he made. His breathing quickens. He staggered back, falling on his rump.

"Ow." He said. He hears the bushes rustle and he turns his head. "Who's there?" He asked. There was a low growling. Kefka quickly gets up, brushes himself off and gets into a battle pose. 

"Show yourself!" He yells. The growling continues as well as the leaves rustling in the bushes. Kefka started to get impatient. 

"So you won't come out, eh? Then I will make you come out! Firaga!" He yells. His horn lights a bright red and a massive fire ball flew towards the bushes. The fire ball burned straight through the bush, and a few trees, making clean circles. There came the sound of whimpering as whatever it was scattered away. Kefka smirks as the fireball dissipates.

"That's what I thought." He said. He turns around and sees three fillies stare at him with wide eyes and mouths opens in shock. One was a white unicorn who had a two toned curly mane, the middle one was an orange pegasus, and the other was a cream yellow earth pony with a ribbon in her mane. Kefka brushes some dirt off from his crazy looking robe and looks at the fillies.

"Um, hello." He said. The white unicorn one fainted. Kefka blinks multiple times.

"Umm, okay?" He said.

"That was so cool!" The orange pegasus yelled. 

"Umm, excuse me?" Kefka asked. 

"Are you like a dragon disguised as a stallion!?" The filly with the bow asked.

"Um, no. I can do other magic then just conjure fire. And if I may ask, who are you three?" Kefka asked. 

"Well, I'm Scootaloo! Probably the awesomest of us three!" The orange pegasus said. The ribbon wearing filly rolled her eyes.

"Just like Rainbow Dash." She said. 

"Anyway, this is Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle fainted..." Scootaloo said. 

"Hello you three. My name is Kefka. Kefka Palazzo." Kefka said. Scootaloo finally taking in the awkwardness of his outfit.

"What are you even wearing???" She asked. Kefka looks at his robe.

"What, is there something wrong with it?" He asked. 

"I dunno. Never seen anything like that before." Scootaloo said. 

"Do you work as a clown?" Applebloom asked. Kefka deadpans.

"I'm not a clown." He said. 

"You look like one with all that makeup, and stuff." Scootaloo said. 

"And where's your squeaky red nose?" Applebloom asked. Kefka facehoofs and sighs in irritation.

"What is a clown doing in the Everfree anyway?" Scootaloo asked. 

"I am... just passing through." He said. 

"Okay! I hope you find the circus you're going to!" Scootaloo said, trotting off.

"Wait! What about Sweetie Belle?" Applebloom asked. Kefka sighs. 

"How about I help." He said. 

"Don't pretend to be clumsy either!" Scootaloo said. 

"I'm not clumsy and I'm not a clown. Now, do you want my help or not?" He asked. 

"Yeah, sorry..." Applebloom said. Kefka nods and concentrates. His horn glows a brilliant gold and Sweetie Belle is lifted onto his back.

"So, where to?" He asked. 

"The circu-!" Scootaloo began, but was cut short when Applebloom covers her mouth and sighs.

"Ponyville." She said. Kefka raises an eyebrow.

"Ponyville?" He asked. 

"Uh, the town that's not too far from here..." Scootaloo said. 

"Ah, okay. Lead the way." He said. Scootaloo and Applebloom lead Kefka out of the forest.

"If I may ask, why are you three here in this forest? Kefka asked. 

"We were gonna go see our friend Zecora." Scootaloo said. 

"Zecora?" He asked. 

"She lives here!" Applebloom said. 

"I see." He said. 

"With chicken snakes that turn you to stone, timber wolves, and those scorpion lion things?" Scootaloo asked. 

"I've seen worse." Kefka said. 

"If you haven't seen Discord, you don't know the real meaning of deep doo doo. I know it sounds weird, but we can't swear." Applebloom said. 

"I've seen Discord and I've seen things that are close too as bad as him." Kefka said. 

"You haven't seen Discord..." Scootaloo said. 

"A serpentine like creature made up of different animals, yea I've seen him." He said. 

"WOW! You have!!" Applebloom yelled. 

"I'm a book of course!" Scootaloo said. Applebloom nods with a smile. 

"So, how far away is the town?" Kefka asked. 

"Um...we're here." Scootaloo said.  She gestures a hoof to the town in front of them, bustling with ponies. Kefka looks at the town and gives a low whistle.

"Wow, a castle made out of crystal, I'm impressed. But I've seen better." He said. 

"Yeah. Up there." Applebloom said. She points to a castle far in the distance that seems to be hanging off a mountain. Kefka squint and sees the castle.

"Eh, I am even more impressed, but I've still seen better." He said. 

"That's the most..prestigid..ious...castle in all of Equestria!" Scootaloo said. 

"Prestigious eh? Try castles made out of metal that can sink underneath sand and travel. And castles that reach high into the sky and bigger then that castle on the mountain." Kefka said. 

"There is no such thing!" Scootaloo said. 

"Oh, where I'm from, there is. If you don't believe me, look at my eyes." Kefka said. Applebloom shrugs and looks. Kefka looks at her and doesn't blink or change expression. Applebloom looks bemused. Kefka keeps his face the same.

"Something wrong?" He asked. 

"Nothing, except Ah assume Ah'm supposed to be seein castles and stuff, but Ah got nuthin." She said. 

"I see. Now then, shall we continue?" He asked. 

"Yeah." Scootaloo said. Kefka continues to walk towards the town. Scootaloo and Applebloom lead him to Rarity's. Kefka ignores the stares the other ponies were giving him. Scootaloo knocked on the door. Kefka waits patiently with the fillies. Soon the door opened, and a purple curly maned unicorn with blue eyes appeared. Kefka looks at the unicorn.

"Hi girls! And...I see you've brought a clown! How nice!" The unicorn said. Kefka facehoofs and sighs in irritation, again.

"How many times do I have to say, I'm not a clown!" He yells. 

"Oh, I'm sorry! It's just...your outift and all told me you might be a clown. I apologize. Now what are you three here for?" The unicorn asked.

"I find that a bit hard to beli-" the unicorn began.

"It was a fireball!" Applebloom interrupted. Kefka nods.

"Yea, sweetie belle fainted when she saw me launch a big fireball." He said.

"We all saw it!" Scootaloo said.

"Well, then. I hope it wasn't at these three." The unicorn said. She takes Sweetie Belle in her magic. Kefka shakes his head.

"It wasn't." He said.

"Good." She said.

"Oh wait, I never got your name." He said.

"Oh, It's Rarity, and what's yours?" She asked.

"Kefka, Kefka Palazzo" Kefka said.

"Oh...never heard such a name before. It sounds fancy!" She said.

"Why thank you." He said.

"So...what is your style with what you're wearing?" Rarity asked.

"This is how I usually look and wear." Kefka said.

"Oh, so that's your casual wear? Then what do you wear to be fancy, or formal?" She asked.

"Something similar." He said.

"Oh, that seems...ok. Why don't you come in?" She asked. Kefka nods.

"Sure." He said. Rarity smiles and leads him inside. Kefka looks around and sees pony mannequins lined with clothing.

"You run a clothing store, Rarity?" He asked.

"Why, yes I do! It's what I do best!" Rarity said.

"Interesting." Kefka said. Rarity smiles.

"It's my hobby, and my life's work at the same time!" She said.

"I haven't found out what I'm good at yet." He said.

"Do you mean to tell me you don't have your cutie mark yet?" Rarity said.

"Cutie mark?" Kefka asked.

"You know...this!" She said. She points a hoof to the mark on her flank. "Everpony's is different." She said.

"Not exactly..." Applebloom said. Rarity rolls her eyes.

"Yes I know, you, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle have the same mark." She said.

"I don't known if I have one, because of my robe." Kefka said.

"Do you never change?" She asked.

"Eh, not really." He said. Rarity sniffs the air.

"So that's where that smell is coming from..." She said. Kefka blinks in confusion.

"Eh?" He asked.

"I don't want to sound rude, but you smell as if you haven't showered in a few days..." She said.

"Well, I just came from the forest outside of town." He said.

"So you did..." Rarity said. She sees a twit in his mane.

"Hmm? Do I have something on me?" Kefka asked, looking at himself. Rarity pulls it out with her blue aura of magic. Kefka has a sheepish look on his face.

"I guess I could use a bath." He said. 

"Shower is upstairs." She said. Kefka nods and walks up the stairs. He heard a loud hiss, and when he looked down, he saw he had stepped on the tail of a cat, and in a flash, it scratched his face. Kefka yells in pain and falls backwards, falling down the stairs.

"Aaaaaah!" He yells. Rarity sees him land on his back at the bottom of the steps.

"Oh, dear are you alright!?" She asked. She trotted up to him and helped him up. stars danced around his head.

"Did... anypony get the... number of that carriage?" He asked. He falls unconscious onto the floor from the pain. Rarity giggles and lays him on the couch. Kefka starts to dream of his past self.


In Kefka's dream


A middle age man with a slightly grey military style hair looks at a world map in his tent, when he hears someone coming. He looks and sees a soldier come in. The soldier salutes. 

"General Leo, sir!" He yells. 

"Yes, what is it?" General Leo asked. 

"Kefka Palazzo is headed this way, sir!" The soldier said, still holding his pose. General Leo quickly turns towards the soldier.

"What! But he's not supposed to be here until tomorrow. And at ease." He said. The soldier puts his hands to his side.

"Good day sir!" He yells. He turns and marches away. General Leo turns back towards the world map.

"But why, why is he here now. We're not supposed to attack castle Doma until tomorrow. Why is he here?" He mutters. He sighs and walks out of his tent and sees some soldiers polish their swords, and drivers preparing their Magitec armors. The soldier nodded at the general and he walked past. General Leo hears the familiar sound of gears turning, the smell of smoke, and the constant nagging indicating that Kefka is close.

"He's here!" A voice shouted. General Leo sees Kefka walking with a squad of Magitec armor. Kefka stops in front of him. He salutes.

"Kefka sir!" He yells. 

"Yea, yea, yea, whatever." Kefka said. General Leo puts his hand down.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Kefka said, handing General Leo a letter. "The emperor would like to see you." He said. General Leo takes the letter and reads it.

"I will head over there right now." General Leo said. He grabs what he needs and heads back to the empire. Kefka smiles slyly.

"Good, without him, I can get on with my plan." Kefka whispered. "I need a soldier here!" He yells. A soldier from before stood in front of him.

"Bring me the poison from General Leo's tent!" He said. The soldier nods and runs off.

"This time, Castle Doma will fall." He said.  The soldier runs back carrying a vial with a purplish red liquid in it.

"Here you are, sir!" He said. Kefka takes the poison.

"Good, prepare your men, we're going to battle." He said. The soldier nods and marches off. Kefka watches the soldiers leave for Castle Doma. He laughs. "Fro ho ho ho ho ho!" He laughed. He walks to the side of the camp, where a river leads it's water towards Castle Doma. He opens the vial and dumps the poison in the water, turning the water a rose red color. He laughs again. Kefka could only watch as his past self dumps the poison in the water, and runs from Cyan, Sabin, and Shadow as they try to stop him. He sighs with regret.

"I see you are stressed, Kefka. Only you can change it." A voice said. Kefka jumps at the voice and turns around, but saw nothing.

"Who... who are you?" He asked. He sees a blue pony that has both wings and a horn and a cutie mark of a moon on her flank appear out of nowhere. Kefka could tell that this pony was a female.

"Do not fear me. I am a friend" The pony said.

"A... a friend?" He asked.

"My name is Princess Luna. I rule Equestria alongside with my older sister, Princess Celestia. One of my jobs is to watch over the dreams of the many ponies across Equestria, and beyond it seems, with you not being from Equestria. N-not that it's a problem! I just wanted to meet you and figured this was the easiest way." She said. Kefka looks down.

"It's all my fault. If I wasn't so mad with power and insane back then, the people that I have killed would still be alive." He said. Luna sighs.

"I don't know why some ponies can't just get along." She said.

"But I wasn't a pony before. What you're looking at down there, is what I was before." He said.

"Oh, so I see. Funky looking creatures..." Luna said.

"We were called humans." Kefka said.

"Where's your fur? How do you stay warm??" She asked.

"We wore clothing to keep us warm and our fur is mostly our hair on top of our heads, so no fur on our bodies. We have also combined magic and machines to create Magitec." He said.

"Interesting." Luna said. Kefka nods.

"Indeed it is. But we mostly used Magitec for weapons of war." He said.

"W-war!?" Luna yelled in shock.

"Yes, we built suits of armor that can harness that magic and focuses it into weapons." He said.

"Well, it's not really my business why you were at war. So, how did you come to our world?" She asked.

"To try and live a new life, to forget what I have done wrong. To make something that I have never had before. Friends." He said.

"Ah. But how did you get here?" Luna asked.

"Discord." Kefka said.

"So I assume that is why you are no longer human?" She asked. Kefka nods.

"Yes." He said. The scenery started to get blurry around them. Luna squirts.

"Does it suddenly seem hard to see, or is it just me?" She asked. Kefka's body started to fade.

"Bye!" She said. Kefka opens up his eyes and sees a pink pony's head stare directly in his face.

"Hi!!" The pink pony yelled.

"Waaaah!" Kefka yelled. He flails his hooves and falls off the couch.

"Whoopsi! Sorry about that!" Said the pink maned mare. Kefka coughs.

"Ow." He said.

"What's your name?" The pink mare asked.

"Kefka, Kefka Palazzo." Kefka said. He stands up and sees that besides the pink mare, there was blue pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail, and a purple pony that has wings and a horn.

"Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is Pinkie Pie, she's Rainbow Dash, and the other two are Fluttershy and Applejack." The purple pony said. Kefka looks and sees a shy yellow pegasus and a yellow orange pony wearing a stetson hat. He waves hello.

"We heard a rumor that you aren't from Eqeustria." Twilight said.

"It's true, I'm not from Equestria." He said

"SO where did ya come from, then?" Applejack asked.

"A land very far away, which name I've forgotten." Kefka said. They all nodded. Then Kefka glares at them.

"And don't any of you dare ask if I'm a clown." He said. Rainbow Dash closes her mouth with an awkward face since she was about to ask. Kefka looks and sees that he wasn't wearing his robe.

"Um, where's my robe?" He asked.

"I didn't know if it was dry clean only or not, so I just dry cleaned it. It over there." Rarity said. She points to a nearby mannequin with his robe on it. Kefka sighs in relief.

"Thank you." He said.

"Don't mention it, darling." She said. Kefka notices Rainbow Dash staring at his flank.

"Um, why are you starting at my flank?" He asked her.

"It's blank..." She said. Applejack punches Rainbow in the side.

"Rainbow! That's rude!" She yelled. Kefka looks at his flank and sees that it is blank.

"I really havn't found what I'm good at yet." He said.

"You'll find out sometime." Applejack said. Kefka sighs.

"Yea." He said.

"I cant wait to see what your cutie mark will look like!" Pinkie pie said. Kefka walks over to the mannequin with his robe and puts it on.

"So, now what?" He asked. 

"Mind if I ask a few quetions?" Twilight asked. Kefka nods. 

"Go ahead." He said. 

"First off, do you have any intentions to harm the ponies of Equestria?" She asked. Kefka shakes his head.

"Unless I have to defend myself, no." He said. 

"Okay, good. How did you come here anyway?" She asked. 

"From what I know, I came here because of Discord." He said. 

"How is that so?" She asked. 

"You... you wouldn't believe me." He said. Discord appeared. 

"Oh I don't think it would be an issue. I only turned him into the fine stallion you see now, before sending him!" He said. 

"What are you doing here?" Kefka asked. 

"Oh nothing!" Discord said. he gave a dismissive wave of his griffon hand. "Just to see my dear...friends..." He said. 

"Wait I didn't know that these are your friends, Discord." Kefka said. 

"Yes, the ones who turned me to stone were forced to be my friends." Discord said. He groans and slaps a hand to his face. Kefka winces. 

"Oof, sorry to hear that." He said. Twilight rolls her eyes. 

"Yeah, he isn't the easiest to work with. Once a threat, now a neusance." She said. 

"I know how that feels." Kefka said. 

"Oh please. I let you win!" Discord said. Twilight glares at him. 

"What are you saying?" She asked. 

"Merely stating the fact if I hadn't let my gaurd down, I would not have gone down as easy." He said. Kefka is confused. 

"Um, what?" He asked. 

"It wouldn't have mattered what you did! I could have-!" Rainbow Dash began. Suddenly Rainbow shrunk to the size of a breezie upon the snapping of Discord's lion clwas, and her voice became squeaks.

"I would have whooped you to the stars by myself!" She yelled. Kefka knew what was going to happen.

"Everpony stop!" He yells. They all turn to look at Kefka.

"Enough of this! Do we really need to do this? Look, Discord,  I know that your a little upset, but do you really need to do this?" He asked. He points a hoof at Rainbow Dash.

"To show her she by herself could never defeat me." Discord said. He shrugs as Rainbow began kicking the side of Discord's face, having no affect being so small. Kefka sighs. 

"Just turn her back." He said. 

"I can't do that!" Discord said. 

"Let me guess, not until she apologizes?" Kefka asked. Discord nods.

"It's what friends do!" He said. Discord smirked at Rainbow Dash. Kefka looks at Rainbow Dash.

"Come on." He said.

"Nope!" She said still with the high pitched voice, crossing her forelegs. Kefka facehoofs.

"Unless you want to stay like that forever rainbow dash, I would apologize." He said. Rainbow Dash groans.

"Sorry, Discord." She said.

"There! Now was that so hard?" Discord chuckles and changes Rainbow back to normal.

"There, now can we all get along?" Kefka asked.

"Now, may I continue?" Twilight asked. Kefka nods.

"Go ahead." He said. Twilight clears her throat. Kefka waits.

"What are your plans as of now?" She asked.

"As of now, I don't know." He said.

"Do you even know where you will be staying?" She asked. Kefka shakes his head.

"No." He said.

"OOH OOH! He can stay with me!" Pinkie pie yelled. Kefka looks at pinkie pie.

"Are you sure pinkie?" He asked.

"Yah! It'll be loads of fun!" She said.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll stay with pinkie pie." He said.

"YAY!" She yelled, hugging Kefka tight. Kefka smiles.

"We're gonna be besties!" She said.

"I hope so." He said.

"You don't need to hope!" She said.

"Yeah, there isn't anypony I know who isn't Pinkie's friend, so ya don't gotta worry." Applejack said. Kefka nods.

"Okay." He said.

"So what now?" Pinkie asked. Kefka was about to answer, when his stomach growled.

"Hungry, lad?" Discord asked. Kefka nods.

"Yea, I really haven't eaten anything ever since I came here." He said. Discord snaps his finger and a large daisy sandwich appears.

"There you go." He said. Kefka takes the sandwich and takes a bite. His eyes widen as he devours the sandwich.

"Have humans always enjoyed flowers?" Discord asked. Kefka shakes his head.

"No, never. Usually our bodies can't digest flowers. But with this body, this tastes really good." He said.

"Even the cockroach I put in there?" Discord asked. Kefka's eyes widen and began to spit out the sandwich.

"HAHAHAHAH!!! You believed me!?!?!?" He yelled. Kefka glares at Discord and throws the rest of the sandwich at him. The sandwich passed right through him. Kefka grumbles as he walks away from Discord.

"Hey where are you going?" He asked, following Kefka. 

"Just going to walk around the town." Kefka said. 

"May I tag along?" Discord asked. Kefka sighs. 

"If you'd like." He said. 

"I have nothing to do anyway." Discord said. 

"Same here." Kefka said. Discord groans. 

"I bet you didn't want to get stuck with me." He said. 

"I never really said that I hated you. Besides, it will probably be better then me walking by myself." Kefka said. 

"So, how's the new body going for you?" Discord asked. Kefka looks at his hooves.

"I like it. Even though I will miss using hands, it's a price to pay to be alive again." He said. 

"You never died." Discord said. 

"Oh? What about my body fading, I got rid of my old body for that body I had." Kefka said. 

"You were still alive somehow." Discord said, shrugging. "So I decided to be a FRIEND and help you out." He said. 

"And I would like to thank you for helping me." Kefka said. 

"No problem, friend." Discord said, sighing. "For once there's another guy to talk to, besides girls and their little crazy fantasies!" He said. Kefka laughs. 

"Fro ho ho ho ho ho ho ho! That's true." He said. Discord suddenly a dress appears on him.

"Hey, do you think this is pretty anough to wear to the GGG?" He asked, batting his eyelids. Kefka tries hard not to laugh. Discord gasps as a mirror appeared before him.

"Oh. My. CELESTIA!! I have a pimple!! Ew EW EW EW!! Get it off get it off!!" He screamed as he fails his hands about. Kefka couldn't hold it in anymore and rolls on the floor laughing. Discord poofs everything back to normal.

"Ah, it's good to know someone who isn't a mare, all about perfect complection. Especially Rarity!" He said. He groans and rolls his eyes. "That mare can be a pain in the neck! Let's just say drama queen!" He said. Kefka breaths heavily as tears streamed down his face. He gets up.

"I...see. And I needed that." He said. 

"No problem, Kefka." Discord said, patting Kefka's back. 

"Now then, shall we continue our walk?" Kefka asked. Discord nods. 

"Let's!" He said. Kefka continues to walk with Discord following. 

"Do you miss your planet?" Discord asked. 

"A little bit. But not much." Kefka said. Discord smirks and secretly turns Kefka into a mare without him noticing.

"My lady. " He said, chuckling. 

"Huh, what's so..." Kefka noticed that his voice is a higher pitch. He looks at himself and sees that it's a feminine body. He glares at Discord.

"Turn me back, now." She said. 

"Awe, but you're such a pretty mare!" Discord said. Kefka facehoofs and sighs in irritation.

"Turn me back, please." She said. Discord smiles and changes him back.

"There!" He said. 

"Thank you." Kefka said. 

"No prob." Discord said. Kefka notices ponies are staring at them.

"Something wrong?" Discord asked. 

"Hmm? Oh, I just noticed that ponies are staring at us." Kefka said. 

"Me, my friend. They aren't used to me wandering the streets." Discord said. 

"I see." Kefka said. Then he remembered something. "Dang it, I forgot to ask where pinkie pie lives." He said. Discord points to Sugarcube corner just down the street. Kefka looks in the direction that he's pointing.

"That's where she lives? Ok, thanks." He said. Discord snaps his lion claws and they appear right in front of the building. Kefka stumbles a little bit. Then shakes his head.

"Oof, that made me dizzy for a little bit." He said. 

"I bet." Discord said. He opens the door for Kefka. "LADIES first." He said, smirking. Kefka sighs and walks in.

"I see you don't find much humor in humor." Discord said.

"When you're a insane person mad with power, humor just doesn't matter to you." Kefka said.

"So I see." Discord said, shrugging. As they enter sugercube corner, Kefka notices that it was dark inside.

"Why is it dark in here?" He asked.

"Welcome to Ponyville party." Discord said.

"Wait what?" Kefka asked.

"Happens to everyone new in town." Discord. Pinkie pie suddenly emerged from out of nowhere.

"WELCOME TO PONYVILLE!!!!!!" She yelled. Kefka jumps back in fright.

"Whaaah! Protect!" He yells. His horn glowed and a shield made of hexagonal like shapes appears in front of him. Discord stares agape.

"Well now. Our friend has quite the powers!" He said. The rest of the ponies stared in shock and silence. Kefka looks around.

"Huh wha? Noponies attacking?" He asked.

"Nobody hurts anybody here." Discord said. Kefka's horn stops glowing and the shield dissipates slowly. He sighs in relief.

"Okay. Sorry, I get a little bit jumpy when something like this happens." He said.

"How did you do that!?" Pinkie pie yelled. Kefka looks at pinkie pie.

"Um, with my magic." He said. 

"Nopony has THAT much magic! Unless you're an alicorn!!" She yelled. 

"Well, I was a mage where I was from. And I can do much more then summon shields. I can summon ice, fire, lightning, gravity, etc." He said. 

"But you aren't an alicorn..." She said. 

"I can show you that I can do that type of magic." He said. Pinkie sits with her hindlegs crossed like a human. Kefka thinks for a second. Then he has a idea.

"Ahh I have one." He said. He looks around and sees a cupcake. His horn lights and the cupcake lifts from the table. He brings it over to himself. "Gravity!" He yells. His horn glows a deep purple and a purple sphere covers the cupcake. The cupcake flattens into a pancake.

"Wow! Twilight would love to see that!" She said. Kefka lifts the puncake closer to him and eats it.

"Probably." He said. 

"That will be four bits!" Pinkie said. Kefka chokes on the cupcake and coughs. Discord pats his back.

"Something wrong, bud?" He asked. 

"I don't have any money to pay for the cupcake." Kefka said. 

"Dont worry! You don't have to pay it's a party!" Pinkie pie said. Kefka glares at her. 

"You could have told me!" He said. 

"...I just did..." She said. Kefka facehoofs.  Pinkie pie holds out another cupcake. Kefka takes it with his magic.

"Thank you." He said. Pinkie smiles. Kefka eats the cupcake. 

"Like it!?" She asked. Kefka shoves more cupcakes into his mouth.

"Wow you're really packing them away!" She said. Kefka takes a break from eating.

"I... I never had a cupcake before." He said. 

"I take it you like them?" She asked. Kefka nods. 

"Good!!" She yelled. Kefka sees a punch bowl and walks towards it. As he nears it the punch bowl punches Kefka.

"Ow!" He yells. He rubs his muzzle. Discord rolls on the floor laughing. Kefka glares at him. 

"I made the PUNCH bowl PUNCH you! HAHAHahahahhaaaa!!!" Discord roared. Kefka's horn glows a bluish color and he has a snowball in his hooves. He chucks it at Discord, causing it to smack against his face.

"So that's how you want it?" He asked. 

"You started it." Kefka said. Discord makes Kefka a mare again. Kefka facehoofs.

"Not this again." She said. 

"You have to stay like that the whole day." He said. 

"No, you change me back, right now!" She yelled. Discord walks out. Kefka chases after him.

"Change me back, now!" She yelled. 

"Nah." Discord said as he keeps on walking. "You're pretty this way." He said. Kefka is furious.

"Change. Me. Back. Now." She demanded.

"What do I get i I change you back?" He asked. 

"I don't know...." She said. 

"Then you're out of luck." He said, shrugging as he continues to walk. Kefka sits. Discord sighs and sits in a chair.

"God of chaos to just another chump among ponies, wither all their love and precious freind ship." He said. He rolls his eyes. Kefka sighs and walks back over to table filled with food. Pinkie pie pops up next to Kefka.

"Hii" She yelled. But Kefka doesn't say anything.

"Don't worry about it! Discord usually genderbends somepony, but turns them back within the first twenty four hours." She said. Kefka looks at her.

"I hope so." She said. Pinkie groans.

"He made me a stallion for a whole week. " She said with a bemused expression. Kefka slightly laughs at that. "You'll do fine." She said, patting Kefka's back.

"You're cuter this way anyway!" She said. She giggles and trots off. Kefka facehoofs. Discord comes back in.

"Hey, how ya doin?" He asked.

"Still slightly mad, but better." Kefka said.

"Good." He said. Discord ruffles her mane.

"Can you please not do that." Kefka said.

"Why not?" He asked.

"It gets a little annoying." She said.

"How about this?" He asked. Discord scooped Kefka into his arms, rubbing her stomach. "No pony can resist belly rubs. " He said, smirking.

"No! Let... Me....go...." Kefka said. She relaxes in his arms. Discord chuckles.

"Point proven." He said. He keeps rubbing.

"I hate you." She said.

"No, you can't hate me. If you hate me it means you're not my friend." He said. He smirks and rocks Kafka like a baby as he rubbed her stomach.

"Can you please let me go, it looks weird." She said.

"Nopony is even looking." He said. Kefka sighs and relaxes. Discord sits in a nearby booth.

"So what was it like in your world?" He asked.

"It was filled with fighting, one side after another. There was also a large war that happened as well, called War of the Magi. It was a terrible war. Thousands if not more people lost their lives. That was a long time ago." Kefka said. 

"Sound like my kind of place!" He said. He chuckles and sets Kefka next to him, leaning back in the booth with his hands behind his head.

"Yea it was the empire vs the returners, a type of resistance. And I was with the empire. I was power hungry and insane." She said. 

"Just like me!" He said, patting Kefka on the back. "Well...we used to be." He said. Kefka nods.

"Yep. After you lose to the heroes so many times, you tend to just say forget it and join the good side. I didn't do that until you brought me here." She said.

"Same thing happened with me and these ponies...I was defeated by PONIES!" He yells. He slumps down and a paper bag appears on his head with holes for the eyes. Kefka sighs and slumps down as well.

"I know how that feels." She said.

"Embarrassing..." He said. Kefka nods again.

"Yea." She said.

"Nopony is scared of me anymore." He said.

"Same here when I faded from my world." She said. Discord sighs.

"This bites." He said.

"It does." Kefka said.

"What are we gonna do now?" He asked.

"I don't know." She said. Discord ruffles her mane again.

"We'll figure something out." He said.

"We might as well enjoy the party." She said. Discord sits there.

"So how's being a mare going for ya?" He asked.

"It feels weird. It's so much different then being a stallion." She said.

"I bet you want to change back?" He asked. Kefka nods.

" I do." She said. Discord smirks.

"Too bad." He said. He chuckles and changes her back.

"Thank you." Kefka said. Discord fights a laugh. Kefka tilts his head in confusion.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"I made you a stallion, but you still look like a mare!" Discord yelled. He laughs aloud. Kefka deadpans.

"Really..." He said. Discord fully changes him back.

"Couldn't help it. God of Chaos remember?" He said. Kefka sighs and shakes his head.

"What?" Discord asked.

"Nothing, nothing." Kefka said.

"Look at us. Chumps in a town of over loving and accepting horses...no offense to you, though!" Discord said.

"None taken." Kefka said.

"Good. This perty is getting kind of lame. Shall I spruce it up?" Discord asked. Kefka smirks.

"Do it." He said.

"I shall!" Discord said. He smirks and everypony becomes the opposite sex. Kefka bursts into laughter. Discord watches as they all stared confused. Kefka falls out of the booth, laughing. Discord shakes his head. Kefka slowly stops laughing and gets up. Everpony glares at them. Kefka sees them glare at him and Discord and gives a look saying that he didn't do it. Discord chuckles to himself. Kefka hums to himself as he fiddles with his hooves. Pinkie Pie approached.

"Discord, change us back. Now." He said in a deep voice. Kefka sarts to laugh again.

"Hmmm, I'm gonna have to think about that one." Discord said in pinkie pie's normal voice. He put a talon to his chin. Kefka takes deep breaths to calm down. Pinkie pie's eyes slowly turn to a glare. Kefka looks and sees the other ponies close in on them.

"Um, Discord." He said. 

"Okay, anypony ever hear of a personal space bubble?" Discord asked. Kefka's horn glows and the shield appears in front of him again. 

"I think it would be a good idea to turn them back." He said. Discord sighs. 

"Pinkie has really lost her touch." He said. He seemed upset as he undid the spell. Kefka horn stops glowing and the shield dissipates slowly again. He sighs in relief.

"I can't even pull silly tricks." He said, sighing heavily. "I really hate these ponies." He said. Kefka puts a hoof on Discord.

"Hey, it's going to be okay. You have me, I laughed at your silly jokes." He said. 

"Just one pony out of millions." Discord said. Kefka sighs as he removes his hoof.

"Is there anything that will make you happy?" He asked. Discord shrugs.

"Dont know really. World domination isn't allowed, so..." He said. 

"You just want to walk around?" He asked. Discord gets up from the booth.

"Let's go somewhere else." He said. Kefka gets up and follows him.

"Okay." He said. Discord removes the bag from his head and walks out. Kefka follows Discord out. As soon as he walked outside, there was a bright flash.

"My eyes!" He yells. Discord watches. 

"What is it? Oh you can't see it, haha." He laughed. Kefka blinks multiple times and shakes his head. His vision clears and he sees a object crash into the hill next to the town.

"Wait a minute, I could have sworn that I've seen that shape before." Kefka said. Kefka runs towards the object. Discord follows. Kefka makes it to the crater and sees the object slightly lopsided in the dirt. His eyes widen.

"No, what's this doing here!" He yells. 

"What is it?" Discord asked as he lifted the strange object out carefully. 

"It's... it's Magitec armor." Kefka said. 

"Yours I presume?" Discord asked. Kefka shakes his head.

"No, I never drove one." He said. 

"Then how did this get here? It certainly wasn't me!" Discord said. 

"I don't know. But if it's here, then it's for me." Kefka said. 

"Who knows I brought you here?" Discord asked. 

"I don't know. But when I was knocked out in Rarity's store, I met a pony. Her name was Princess Luna. We watched my old self destroy a castle." Kefka said. 

"Maybe she was the cause, but why just toss it into a hill? Luna kind of sucks with her magic besides raising and lowering the moon." Discord said. 

"Besides these being used as weapons of war, they were also used as heavy lifters for cargo and things." Kefka said. 

"Wanna test it out? Say on...That tree?" Discord asked. He points to a lone tree at the top of the hill. Kefka nods. 

"Sure." He said. He walks up the the Magitec armor and climbs into its open cockpit. He pulls a couple of levers and the armor rumbles to life as some smoke pours from the pipes on its back. Discord sits on a lawn chair he spawned. Kefka pulls some levers and the Magitec armor begins walking towards the tree at a fast pace. What he didn't know was that as he was heading towards the tree, Twilight and her friends came to see what the object was.

"Discord." Twilight said. Discord turns to see them.

"Oh hi! Me and Kefka are just checking this thing out." He said. Kefka is right next to the tree. Pulls some levers on the side of the cockpit and the right arm raises. The claw like grabbers grab the tree and uproot it. Twilight's jaw drops.

"Hey! You cant do that!" She yelled. She takes the tree in her magic, and sticks it back in the ground.

"Huh?" Kefka asked. He pulls some levers and turns around. He sees Twilight and her friends. "Oh, hey Twilight!" He yells. He makes the right arm wave hello.

"What are you doing in that thing!?" Twilight yelled.

"Using it obviously!" Pinkie said. Kefka pulls some levers and walks back towards Discord. Discord makes the machine trip.

"Whoaaaaa!" Kefka yells. He and the machine hit the ground with a loud THUD. Dust went up everywhere.

"HAHAHAHAA!!!!!" Discord roared with laughter. Stars danced around Kefka's head. He shakes his head and pulls some levers, causing the machine to get back on its feet. He glares at Discord and shakes his head. Discord smirks, giving a look as if to do something else. Twilight sighs.

"Boys will be boys." She said. Kefka looks at her.

"Hey!" He yells.

"And girls will be girls." Discord said.

"Touche." Twilight said. Kefka laughs at that part, nearly falling out of the cockpit. Discord laughs slightly. 

"Just dont go destroying buildings with that thing...whatever it is..." She said. Kefka pops right back up. 

"It's called a Magitec armor. It combines magic and technology." He said. Pinkie pie appears behind Kefka.

"Ooohh!! What's this one do!?" She asked. She pulled a lever. Kefka gasps.

"No, don't pull that!" He yells. A red laser fires into the sky.

"OOOH!! Lights!" She yelled. She repeatedly does it again. Kefka grabs pinkie pie with his magic.

"No, stop! These are not lights, okay. What you are firing are actually weapons." He said. 

"Like this one!?" Pinkie pie asked. She goes into a small compartement, and pulls out a cannon, firing it, and confetti bursts out. Kefka shakes his head. 

"No. These are worse. They can melt through mountains, freeze a entire town, electrocute alot of ponies, etc." He said. 

"Oh...that's bad..." She said. 

"Yes, that's bad. That's why only I know how to control this machine. Now, are you going to be a good little pony and not touch any more levers?" He asked. Pinkie pie touches a lever. Kefka sighs in irritation as the spotlights come on.

"What did I say." He said. Pinkie pie shrugs. Kefka places pinkie pie next to Twilight and points at her.

"Stay." He said. Pinkie has a blank face as she sat. Kefka uses a metal claw to lightly pat Pinkie's head.

"Good girl." He said. 

"Ruff!" She barked. Kefka blinks in confusion.

"Umm, okay then." He said. He looks at Twilight. "Now what?" He asked. Twilight shrugs. Discord spawns a small body of water, with a set of train rails leading to it. Ontop of the rail, furthest away from the water, appeared a cart, and in that cart, he snapped hi talons and an enderman appears. He looks to Kafka.

"Push him into the water." He said.

"Wait what?" Kefka asked. 

"Just do it! In another world, it's some sort of a glitch I guess in a game called minecraft. Look into his eyes." Discord said. Kefka looks at the enderman's eyes. It's mouth opened in a funky way, making stangre sound, unmoving his gaze from Kafka. Kefka pushes the cart. Upon contact, the enderman began to scream, attempting to teleport out of the water, but was bound back to the cart submerged in water. Purple puffs of smoke where scattered as it teleported into many different nearby spots in vain attempts to free his inevitable tomb. Kefka looks at Discord.

"What was the point of that?" He asked. Discord facepalms. 

"You don't see all the cool puffs of smoke around?" He asked. He sighs. "It looks better at night." He said. He makes his creations disappear. 

"Umm, okay. Shall we head back to town?" Kefka asked. 

"Yeah." Discord said. 

"Leave that thing here, I won't allow it in town." Twilight said. 

"If I leave it here, who do you think would come across it and use it and discover it's destructive abilities." Kefka said. 

"I'm taking it to my castle where it will be safe." She said. Kefka nods and gets out.

"Okay." He said. Twilight lights her horn and the machine disappears.

"There! Problem solved!" She said. 

"Also, I would like to put the Magitec armor in my care as well, since I am the only one who knows how to use it." Kefka said. 

"I have to do few things first. Like studying, see how it works, and what not, remove all lethal weapons, etcetera etcetera." She said. 

"You can't remove the weapons, they're built into the machine." He said. Twilight shrugs. 

"I'll just take it apart completely, take all the weapons out and put it back together." She said. 

"That's not exactly what I meant." He said. 

"Whatever it meant, I can't allow any dangerous contraptions such as this to be let loose around town. Which is why I'm stripping it of any weapons." She said.

"Actually, I know how to turn off the weapon systems until they need to be used." He said.

"I can't allow any risks." Twilight said. "As a princess of Equestria, it is my duty to protect, conserve, and protect the ponies of Equus, and to keep them from harm. I hope you will understand." She said.

"Then I will just tell you. In the middle of the base of the controls, you will see a small switch. Flip the switch and you'll disengage the weapon systems." Kefka said.

"Thanks, but anyone who knows about this thing, say Discord, can just flip the switch again. I have to remove the weapons." She said. She lights her horn and teleports home to avoid further conversation over the matter. Kefka looks at Discord.

"I was going to tell her that she can't remove the weapons, because the armor is the weapon." He said.

"Twilight is stupid." Discord said. Kefka laughs.

"I can see that. She's the type that would not listen." He said. Discord sighs.

"Twilight is stupid, Pinkie Pie is over active, Applejack has an insta period, fluttershy is too quiet, Rainbow Dash is annoying, and Rarity complains too much." He said.

"I see. Well, is there anything that you want to do?" Kefka asked.

"Dunno." Discord said, shrugging.

"Let's just head back to town for now and see what we can do next when we get back." Kefka said.

"Sure thing." Discord said. Kefka begins walking back to the town.

"I hope Twilight gives that armor back to me." He said.

"Yeeaahhhhh pobably not." Discord said.

"So she's one of those people eh?" Kefka said.

"Yeah, she'll probably find out more about that thing than you ever have, or ever will." Discord said. 

"Oh, I was actually at the factory that made them." Kefka said. 

"She has her ways." Discord said. 

"I see." Kefka said. 

"Let's get going, shall we?" He asked. Kefka nods. 

"Let's." He said, as they made their way back to town.
