The Return

Where peace and harmony roams over the land and many are found happily playing about. I sit there thinking of the glory days. When chaos was on everyone's mind, where nopony dares stand up to him. I was unbeatable. The mere thought of me sent shivers down manes. Where the mention of my name would have everypony stampeding in pure fear. Ahh those were the days... Now look at me, i'm not even a threat anymore stuck in this form forever to rot away brooding my time away by thinking of better days. "I'm a active being. I need to get out of this hellhole somehow!! I'll be damned if i'll let some pony best me!! I'll have them begging at my paws for mercy, they'll grovel for me to spare them the pain i'll show them. How can i break this spell however?? Hmm i'm far too weak now, there is no chaos to regain my power from. What to do..." Then suddenly it dawned upon me. "All i need to do is stir up enough trouble to confuse and cause a little havoc. Kids are the most susceptible and prone to do my bidding. All i need to do is wait for someone to stumble on by. Whats a couple of days or months when iv been here already for much longer. Muhahahahaha"

In the distance, the people of Canterlot felt a chill run down their spine as the sickening laugh pierced their souls. Some shrugged it off as a bad feeling others claiming it to be the wind but princess Celestia knew that something bad was coming and it would be here very soon. " I don't like this feeling at all" she sent a letter to Spike telling him to warn the others in Ponyville to be cautious and wary of what might come. " Guards" she shouted. The Royal Guards were there in a second ready to beckon their princesses command. "Double the patrol and get the unicorn guards to the gardens as well none of those statues must break or surely Equestira will be in trouble." "Yes princess" they replied instantly and went to work. Celestia didn't feel right. Her mane was sticking up erratically and nothing she did seemed to help calm it down, maybe she was feeling uneasy. She declared the lack of sleep the problem. She lay down and tried to sleep about better things. As she fell fell into her slumber, the Royal Guards rounded up the extra patrols and sent the unicorn guards to the gardens to ensure that none of the statues broke. Everypony worked hard to ensure absolute silence in Canterlot and making sure that the princess could sleep easy and peacefully.

Darkness fell quickly and gave in to the night. It was deathly quiet as nopony made a sound at all. Two Unicorns are patrolling the gardens. One has a dark gloomy mane while the other has a bright grey mane.The one with the dark gloomy mane appear unnerved and looks about nervously with each step, cautious and aware of everything around him. The stillness in the air seemed to feel almost unreal as the ground could barley be seen in the night. The tension building up to where he can no longer take it and blurts out "man whats with the extra guard duty and why do we get the Royal Gardens to patrol. Its not like anypony would be dumb enough to come charging in here!!" To which the shorter, stouter light grey maned unicorn replied " yeah well you ain't royalty and your the dumb ass who signed up for the position. If ya didn't like it then, ya shoulda left while ya coulda. 'Sides, it beats doin nothin Mustang. I think you just need to calm down and just stop jumpin ta conclusions" " Klondike...your right im just on edge and everything. I just have a really bad feeling about this patrol and all something doesn't feel right you know i guess... Are you even paying attention??" " huh?? ohh sorry i jus got lost in the statue here. He looks kinda funny don' he??" As Mustang and Klondike looked directly at Discord, neither could have known just how right Mustang's bad feelings were and just how dangerous the statue could be.

As i looked up i saw two ponies in front of me, guards by the look of it. " Hmm i wanted to influence some children but these will have to do for now" I thought. I whispered into the dark gloomy maned unicorn "This patrol is a waste of your talents and efforts. The princess is just abusing her power over you to make you all look like fools" Mustang then blurts aloud " I cant stand this anymore. We're under the rule of a princess who has us doing things on a whim to which she gives us no reason whatsoever. We're just tools for her to amuse her and i refuse to be used as a puppet in this game if hers!!" Klondike taken aback, steps back and looks puzzlingly at Mustang " Are you aight there buddy you seem to have put yo brain thur on overdrive. Maybe you should take a nap or sumtin' i'm sure the princess'll understand." "Princess that, princess this; if she's so powerful then why doesn't she just look after her own damn self instead of over working everypony so that she can sleep better at night! I won't stand for this anymore. i'm done with all of this, i'm done with you and all the other idiots who affiliate themselves with her!!" At that moment came a huge crack on the statue and both Mustang and Klondike looked on in horror as Discord broke free of his imprisonment. "Well boys it feels good to be back again" I said with the hugest grin on my face.

Uprising

As i stretched out to get rid of the crick in my bones I looked from pony to pony seeing which I should try to manipulate and who would be more fit to assist me. The one called Mustang looked unstable and clearly had a lot of doubts and seemed very hesitant to act and while I knew I could manipulate him I don't think he would be able live up to my expectations. Then there was Klondike who seemed more stronger but was definitely slower both physically and mentally. He also seemed to lack almost all my expectations of someone useful at the moment unless. Then it occurred to me at that moment that since i was free people would notice that I was unless I had somehow mirrored an illusion of myself to appear that I hadn't been disturbed. A cruel wicked smile played across my face that made the other ponies turn pale. "Whatever shall we do with the both of you?" In my mind I had my plan formed out perfectly and now all it took was for me to work my magic. "Dear Mustang so full of doubt and you hesitate with every waking moment. Aren't you tired of being used by everyone around you??The princess has you out here looking like a fool for her own personal delight and you just accept that don't you? What I have to offer is far more appealing to you than anything you could ever want here with these brain dead ponies"

"Don' listen to em' Mustang, me mum used to tell me stories bout a thing like em'. She said dat he was the spirit of disharmony and dat he'll do anything to cause chaos and destruction so that he can come to Equestria and destroy us all. She said his name was Discord. You have to listen to me we have to warn Celestia and get the mane 6 so they can send em back to the hellhole he crawled out of and then people will remember us as the heroes that warned Equestria of Discord. We'll be famous and never have ta work again think about it."Klondike annoyingly chimed in as if I was talking to him, the sniveling filly I need to get rid of him permanently but killing him would be too messy and I might lose Mustang altogether if i made him kill his own friend but then once again in my excellent majestic nature I had another brilliant idea that i had to applaud myself once I was out of this situation.

"Ohh i do enjoy debating with you very much Klondike but you are just too dumb to comprehend the full extent of anything besides yourself. You are selfish and pretentious and most of all annoying me so shut up for once in your life."With a quick blur of movement i was beside Klondike holding him by his throat clamping hard enough to stop all noise form escaping from him. With a wave of my free hand magical needle and thread sewed his mouth shut Klondike could do nothing as wave and wave of agony washed over with every time the needle went in and out of skin. I looked at him with a sick look of pleasure in my eyes then i remembered the plan and with that i threw him to the ground. Sadly he was still aware of his surroundings but i doubted he cared for little else but himself. I turned back to Mustang pure fear and distraught was on his face and i knew that though the tactic was harsh and more likely to push him away from me it only made it easier for me to influence him. " So Mustang what will you do now hmm? Your friend lies there as a example of my power will you serve me? I have something far more appealing then anypony could ever offer you as well....Freedom.." I let the shock of the words reach through to him and with a final look form him i knew that i had won him over. " First to cover up my steps so that these exchange stays between us all." I picked up Klondike with magic and dis-harmonized his whole body destroying his old body to look like mine. Klondike squealed in pain as his whole body was reconstructed. Finally when he was a splitting image of me i put him where my prison had been for so very long. "Any last words hmm?" I cared very little what he wanted or what he had to say but i knew that Mustang wanted to talk to him before his imprisonment.

" This is it Klondike I have made my decision and i don't expect you to understand but it's my decision to make and I know that this is for the best for both me and you. Maybe when you get out of there you'll join us too no matter what your my friend and that's whats keeping you alive. So hope that we don't take to long with taking over Equestria." I saw that Mustang was done and ripped the thread keeping him form talking. Klondike winced in pain and I could see that he was crying but it wasn't from pain. I looked at him with new found disgust as the tears fell from his eyes that looked so much like mine.

" Mustang I hope tha' you don' forget me and come back to visit sometime. Tell ma....." I cut him off as the prison closed around his face first and then quickly engulfed his whole body. I shuddered as it looked dead on like me in the same position and everything. I walked over and wiped away the tears to make an exact replica of how i had looked for so long. A huge sigh escaped both me and Mustang as the deed was finally done.

"So what do we do now boss?"Mustang looked at me hopefully with loyalty and respect in his eyes i grinned as I saw my plan formulating in my eyes. Soon it would be time when i would take over Equestria and destroy the mane 6 who defied me and threw me back in my prison. It was all a matter of time.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy

" It is vital that this operation be held with secrecy. Nopony must know of my rebirth, we must act casual I will need to hide where I am safe but I can also see how to best stir up trouble and gain more power. It must be subtle however I do not wish to be caught too early you see. Hmm.." As I sat there thinking on the best course of action when it dawned on me. " Your cutie mark. That’s it! Nopony will think twice about it! Brilliant only I could have come with such a devious plan."

"My cutie mark?? Whoa whoa whoa there you want to become my cutie mark?? How the hell do you accomplish that? I'd love to know. It seems like an impossible and impractical task if you ask me." asked Mustang baffled and curious at the same time.

"My new disciple don't you see that impossible is a word that I seem to always defy. HAHAHA, you should have been alive when they told me it was impossible to shove a pony into his own ass. Pffftttt that was hilarious seeing that face of horror as his face literally went into his ass. I broke a few ribs I admit but that wasn't what killed him. He suffocated to death from the lack of air. The way his muffled squeals of terror sounded and the way he danced about was simply a once in a lifetime memory. Ahh good times, good times indeed." I wiped away a tear of laughter. Then I felt the first faint beams of morning hit me and knew that the time of reminiscing was over and now I had to hide and quickly. I perked my ears up and heard the beginnings of the early risers waking up and soon Canterlot would be bustling with life even the gardens. So I looked up at Mustang with a determined look " Are you ready?"

He looked back at me dreading the impending pain he might have to go through and with a low grunt replied " As ready as I’ll ever be I suppose." Then with a leap forwards I shrunk to fit into his cutie mark, which was the symbol of a crescent moon, covered in a lunar shield. Then with the faintest of sounds I hit Mustang clear on the mark of his shield. " Oww that hurt. Try to be a little more careful I’m going to feel that all day." As Mustang grumbles some more I hide behind the shield on the moon in a comfortable position.

"Please don't mind me, I’m just going to nap here until you find a safe place to make a base of operations and establish a true plan. So carry on then I’m just going to nap here for now." I snuggle down to where I’m invisible to the outside world but where I can hear all conversations in case some good gossip of Mustang happens to fall upon my lap, hopefully as a pillow and blanket that would be nice and make my nap all the more excellent. " Ahhh" I yawn loudly but of course Mustang can't hear me. As I start to close my lids I finally feel Mustang move and as his steady walk leads him on I can feel the beat of his heart and I fall asleep quickly.

As I started to walk off the stinging pain in my rear Discord left me I was approached by the relief guards. I quickly fell into line and saluted my hoof to my chest as the sign to show that I was of the guards. It was our relief sign pretty lame if you ask me but nopony ever asks me anything they all just expect me to shut up and follow orders like all the ignorant guards.
"Mustang where did Klondike wander off to this time don't tell to take a nap in a tree nearby? Lazy guard it’s a wonder he ever passed training and recruitment. He was always messing things up and damaged your reputation making it impossible for you to rank up further in the army. HAHA what a failure both of you guys." The guards laughed at their jokes seeing themselves as funny. They were Pegasus ponies’ easy prey for me. With a concentrated point of my horn a purple beam hit both ponies to the ground disfiguring their wings and rendering them useless. " My wings what the fuck have you done to them you animal!?" The first guard practically yells at me

" I will fix them when you have humbled yourselves you doddering fools. I will however conceal their damage to not raise attention. However I have put the speech loss hex on you both. If you try to talk about what I did to you then you will not be able to speak unless you change subjects. Now then I have places to be and you have a post to guard." With a glow of my horn a purple haze falls over their wings and makes them appear as if nothing has happened. " Come back to me when you have learned your lesson idiots." With that I walked away as the continued to grovel on the ground over their useless wings. As every pony knows a Pegasus pony without his wings is an empty pony better off dead. Some say that death would be preferred than to suffer such a fate. "Hmmm" as I thought to myself "whose to say they ever have to fly again?" I laughed a dark chuckle to myself as more dark thoughts I indulged beginning a change in my I could not foresee nor would I ever regret it. Still I began to see the upside in aligning myself with Discord. If he could actually pull this off he will rule Equestria. If he did then I will be right there as his new General of the Army and I could change anything I wanted. Anything. “Power will be mine, then they shall all fear me only it will be too late. A dark smile crossed my lips showing the evil taint upon my soul.
