The day was just like any other, I woke up, brushed my teeth, took a bath, ate, and watched TV to pass the time. Oh, I forgot to mention, I did all this in a wheelchair. Yeah, lost my legs a couple years back in the marines. Some CQC action and an IED none of us saw coming. Rodriguez and Herrera didn't take much of it, but me and Ben were a yard within its radius. Ben's gone, and I lost my legs from shrapnel infections. I was honorably discharged and put on ex-military fund programs. I lost my girlfriend and fell into a depression, which made me sort of an asshole. My friends who weren't in the force tried to help, but me being an asshole didn't really help with that. Some of them gave up and just call to see how I'm doing, some don't bother, and my family do their best to help me.

Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Andrew Navas. As of last month I'm 29, and this is my shit apartment. Damn place is the best these vet funds could get me. Since I joined the force just to join, I don't really have any experience with any kind of profession, and without my legs I can't get a dead end job. It sucks, but it's better than ending up like Ben did.

So I was sitting here, just another regular Wednesday. Today felt even worse because of the damn rain outside, so I just sat in my rusty wheelchair watching whatever the hell came on. There was Spongebob, some ESPN, a college football game, and some weird ass cartoons. Sometimes I really wished Herrera or Rodriguez took the blast. I know, I'm a selfish ass, but seriously, without legs my life is just pointless. The least that could've happened was I got what Ben did.

Would be great if you had your legs

"Yeah, I kno-..." I looked around my apartment, but it was just me and the TV.

"Hello? I'm warning you, I got a piece right here," I called. There was chuckling coming from every direction, which made me think for a moment I was finally losing it. "Hello?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming," the voice chuckled. I half expected him to step out from the kitchen or behind the couch, but my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when the wood on the floor started moving.

My jaw dropped as it started to bend, like in one of those badly animated movies. There was an antler then a horn on the head of a horse. Whoever or whatever it was had a paw grow then a talon, and his body was half goat, half snake. He had a scaled tail and feet. The wood color got more realistic and went from its maple to several colors. Whatever he was, he was pretty fucking ugly. He looked like someone put six different animals in a blender then put it on Earth.

"What the fuck are you?" I forced out of my throat.

"Now now, no need for such language," the freak laughed. "Do all humans have stubs for legs?"

I could hear the sarcasm in his voice, and I pulled my M9 from its holster on the side of my chair. "Oh the build-a-bear freak has jokes," I said with just as much sarcasm. "What the hell are you and what the hell are you doing here?"

He chuckled and put his...paw and talon behind his back. "I'm sorry for not introducing myself Andrew. I am Discord, God of Chaos."

It took a moment for me to realize this pistol wouldn't do crap to a god, if what this Discord was saying was true. "Okay, first of all, there's only one God, so you sure as hell aren't. Second, why are you here?"

"To talk to you Andrew," he said with mock innocence. "You miss spending your days with the Marines right? All those bad men you were shooting to protect your country?"

"I'm not patriotic, and if you don't cut that sarcastic bullshit out I will pull this trigger." I flicked the safety off and pointed it at his ugly head.

"I thought you liked it," Discord chuckled. I pulled the trigger, tired of hearing that annoying tone. I had to be high, because the bullet just bounced off of him like rubber. I fired the rest of the clip into his body but they just ricocheted through the house.

"Um, hello? God of Chaos?" he laughed. I tossed away the pistol and crossed my arms.

"You gonna kill me or what? If you are then do it now, it's better than this shit hole of a life," I said. Discord smirked and came over to me. I braced myself for the worst, half hoping I could see it coming to know I was free of this crappy life.

Instead, he put his paw and claw on my stubs of legs, and before I could ask what the fuck my legs started glowing. I swear to you, that as soon as they started glowing, my legs started to stretch out. Anything I could have said caught in my throat as I saw five little nubs grow out on each leg, followed by hair and some cracks of bone. My legs... they... they were back. After two years of missing my lower half I had them back, and I was still sitting in that god forsaken chair.

For the first time in two years, I wiggled my toes and moved my feet like a newborn would. Slowly, still thinking this was some sick, cruel joke, I placed my right foot on the wooden floorboard. The wood was cold, and I nearly let a tear fall as I recognized the feeling of cold feet. My other leg stretched onto the floor, bringing the same chilly feeling that I had to shiver. The moment of truth came, and I shifted forward ever so slowly. Even after two years of not having these babies and I could stand. For fuck's sake I could stand the hell up like a true marine. The drills and training made it impossible for me to stand any other way than with my back straight.

"Do you like them?" he asked with a grin. I was still getting annoyed by his smug expression, but I ignored it because I had my legs back.

"How did... when… this is amazing," I gasped. I lifted one off the floor then did the same with the other. "Thank you. My god, thank you!"

"So you do?" Discord chuckled. "Good, because you'll be needing them."

My celebratory jumping came to a stop as I turned to him. "What do you mean I'll be needing them?"

"You know, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine?" he grinned.

"Uh, I never asked you to do it," I reminded him. "This is on you buddy."

I went to go throw the wheelchair, as I wanted to for so many months, but my body just locked up. "Now that is going to be a problem," Discord sighed. "It wouldn't be fair if I gave you your legs without payment."

I was lifted into the air, then turned to face him. "Yeah well my next check comes in tomorrow, you can have it," I told him.

"You know what I mean Andrew," he chuckled. "You see, given your skill set as a soldier, I need you to do something for me. There's this kingdom, and their rulers really bug me, so with you I can have you lie to them, sabotage certain items, and then I can bring chaos over Equestria once again."

"Equestria? Chaos? Why don't you get someone else to do it?" I retorted. My legs started to feel tingly so I looked at them. The moment I saw them my heart plummeted.

They were shrinking.

"Because Andrew, you need your legs, and I need my spy," he said a bit more venomously. "You don't even know these people, so it should be a walk in the park. Do this for me, and you'll have your life back. You can be a marine, or a busboy or a waiter or whatever it is you want. But if not, say bye to your legs."

They were shrinking slowly, which meant I only had a certain amount of time. It had to be my damn legs man, I mean, why not one? Then I could afford one of those cheap replacements. I could feel my toes retracting, and I came up with the decision right there. No way was I losing the thing that would make me a whole man again.

"Fine!" I shouted kinda panickedly. "Fine I'll help you! Just leave my legs alone and we got a deal!"

He smirked and dropped me back onto the floor. To make sure he wasn't pulling my leg - now that I finally have them back - I looked closely at them. They were as good as new, with the nails and every little hair.

"Excellent, now, you'll be needing these," Discord said to me as three little flashes came from his paw. There were three little crystal balls. "This one, is for you to contact me." He gave me the green one. "This, is just in case any of the ponies find out what you're truly there for."

He passed me the red one. "What's it do?"

He pointed it at my TV, and after tapping it with a claw it firef a bolt at it. My TV was blasted into a million pieces, making me shield myself.

"What the fuck?!"

"Oh be quiet," he sneered. He pointed his open paw at the debris, and the television rebuilt itself. "There, happy? And this one, is to send you back here. But, it will only work when I activate this one."

He handed me the yellow ball and showed me a second in his other paw. "Okay, and you'd better keep your end of the deal," I warned, as dumb as it was since he was a god.

"I may lie but I don't break promises."

"Sure, God of Chaos."

He smirked, then rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Fine. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

"...what?"

"Don't worry, with any luck you'll see what it means. So, remember. Gain the trust of these six pesky girls and these two princess bitches," Discord said as he made eight pictures of women pop up.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, they looked a bit weird. For starters, their hair colors weren't your usual ones, except for the one with the cowboy hat. They had all different colors of hair, and the two princesses had hair that looked like glitter assembled and solidified. Another thing that put me off, was the fact that the one with pink and purple hair and the one with a curled violet mane had horns. The pink haired girl and the rainbow head had wings, and the princesses had both.

"This, is Celestia, and her little sister Luna," Discord pointed to the princesses. "Now, ready to help spread chaos?"

"Wait wait, what about these girls?" I asked.

"Oh don't worry, you'll meet them," he snickered. "They're very friendly, which is how you'll get close enough to do what I need you to do."

"You still haven't told me," I reminded him.

He pointed a paw behind him, and a vortex swirled into life. "In time Andrew," he chuckled. "Now come on, you have a mission to complete."

I sighed as I took my first few steps forward, slowly nearing the portal. I reached my hand forward, and it started to break up as I walked closer. My body lost all feeling, and soon I was feeling nothing at all.

Except the rip of pain through my body as I hit something hard.

I shouted and rolled onto my stomach, coughing badly before looking around properly. It was a really dark, creepy looking forest with twisted faces making up the trunks of the trees. Before I could even hope to do a little recon, I heard growling behind me. When I spun around I could see four, no, five...

...

...wooden wolves?

Yup, made of different kinds of branches and some kind of green, glowing sap. My training kicked in and I looked around for any kind of weapon, surprised to see a knife on the floor. Guess Discord didn't let me go in empty handed.

The first wooden beast pounced, and it knocked me on my already sore back. Either the little sucker was strong, or being in that wheelchair really got me weak. Whichever one, it was hard keeping it's jaw away from my face as it snapped them open and shut. I jabbed the knife into the side of its head, a little taken back when the head just popped off and sprayed the green stuff on me. I pushed the rest of the twig body off of me and sprung onto my feet. The others were circling me, and two of them came at once. I tumbled around with one while the other was busy gnawing on my new leg. I screamed but tossed the first aside and stabbed the one on my leg repeatedly until it let go. The third sucker latched onto my wrist, forcing me to yell and drop the knife.

I pulled it under me and threw my full weight on top of it, which was a whopping 220 thanks to my new limbs. It shattered and sprayed the sap under me, which was a little gross actually. The other two were coming back for more, and without the knife and my terribly injured wrist and leg I started hobbling away. I pushed through the brush and thorns, panting from the exhaustion that was coming fast. I should've listened to Gabe and exercised my arms at least so I wouldn't get lazy.

I could hear the two dogs coming up behind me, and right as I broke into a little clearing one of them pounced on my back. He dug his splintery teeth into my shoulder, which made me scream out loud. The other did his best to try and rip away a piece of flesh from my leg, but ended up breaking it from my thrashing. I used my other leg to kick it off, but the one on my back kept feasting on my back. It was all so painful, and it had been years since I last felt anything close to this. My body was giving out, and I was slowly slipping away.

"Get away from him!" I tried looking, but all I felt was something hot searing my back a little, and the wolf getting knocked off of me.

The one on my leg whimpered, and I heard two little zap sounds as it left back into the bushes. I turned my head and saw the one that was on my back, which was on fire.

"Twi what is-OH MY GOSH!"

I could hear another, more hushed voice behind me. The last thing I saw, was the girl with a pink streak in her hair, and a purple horn on her forehead.

Twilight was in absolute shock and horror at the gored man beneath her. His back was severely mauled, and his right leg was pointed oddly. He seemed to have lost consciousness after she got the timberwolves off of him, and scorching his back in the process. Fluttershy already started checking over his wounds, and he was in worse shape than she first thought.

"We need to get him to a hospital!" Fluttershy quickly said. Twilight nodded and placed her hand on the pegasus and the man.

The spell transported them outside the Ponyville Hospital, where they rushed inside with the man in Twilight's magic hold. Nurse Redheart looked up from her desk and saw the girls with the bleeding man. She sprung from her desk to one of the gurneys and rolled it over to the girls.

"What happened?" Redheart asked as they settled the man on the gurney.

"He was attacked by some timberwolves," Twilight quickly answered.

"Please help him," Fluttershy whimpered, noticing his lifeless expression.

"We'll do what we can," Redheart nodded. "Make way! Ready the ER!"

A couple of doctors and assisstants ran after Redheart as she wheeled him to the emergency room. Twilight and Fluttershy took a seat in the waiting room to wait for any news on the man.

"Fluttershy, I'm going to tell the other girls where we are," Twilight said. "I don't want them worrying about us still being in the Everfree."

"Okay," the pegasus nodded. "I'll wait for the doctors until you get back."

Twilight nodded and made her way out of the room, leaving Fluttershy to worry about the man's condition.
