Discordia

The land of discordia was as gloomy and chaotic as ever.

"Ah," Discord sighed, looking overtop of Ponyville in Princess Celestia's castle, which was now his castle. "This is magnificent"

He smiled and turned away from the window he was facing. "Servant!" He shouted.

Princess Celestia came to light, chains holding her back, frowning. "What do you want, 'Super Supreme Lord of Chaos'?" She said with sarcastic disgust.

"Not you, I want your sister... I want to torture her some more." Discord said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

A tear escaped Princess Celestia's eye. Discord had been torturing her sister ever since..... ever since her faithful student and her friends lost. She couldn't stop thinking about how her poor, poor Lulu had been doing... If she was fine or not.

"Then go to the torture chamber where you left her." She growled.

"No, I want you to come with me." Discord sneered. He unlocked Celestia's chains and the magic canceling collar around her neck. Princess Celestia looked like she was ready to charge, her horn glowing gold. Discord saw this.

"Tsk, tsk Celestia. You never learn don't you," He said as a remote appeared. "One click of this button and Luna and all of Equest- or should I say Discordia goes boom!" He laughed.

The princess backed off. She wouldn't sacrifice the lives of innocent ponies. She would have to bide until a new hero came along... unfortunatly, that day might never come.

Discord smiled, knowing he had won. He had known all along! From the start since those three fillies started fighting in front of his statue. Hadn't they known they were creating disharmony by doing so? And that it would help him become stronger as to escape?

Whatever, he shrugged off the thought. The past is the past.

A grey-coloured, broken-spirited unicorn was sitting by the window of a library.

She was as depressed as ever, reflecting on all her falures. Spike, who had been taking care of her, was sitting beside her, trying to comfort her.

All of a sudden, Twilight started laughing. Seeing this, Spike jumped back, thinking she might have lost it. He wondered what she was laughing about.

As if on cue, Twilight spoke. "You know what's funny about all of this, Spike?" He stared at Twilight. How could any of this be funny? Discord overthrew Pricess Celestia! Even taking her hostage as a servant! Not to mention the current state of Equestria. He renamed the land "Discordia" and discorded everyone! Especially all the pain seeing everyone like this, especially Twilight.

"Discord's managed to get to everypony, breaking their spirits and discording everypony! Everyone except you, Spike." Twilight glumly said, making Spike feel a tinge of sadness.

It was true, Spike didn't know why Discord never even touched him, and he felt guilty about it, after all, he was pretty much the only one left with his sanity. He had to powder himself grey everytime he went out or else everypony might call Discord to come and discord him, and then Twilight might not have anyone to take care of her...

This Twilight was merely a crazy, paranoid, depressed, and meek follower, in contrast to Equestria's calm, cool, lover of life, and strong leader Twilight.

This Twilight looked out the window. She thought about her friends... or ex-friends.

Discord even created nicknames for all of them. Pinkamena, which was actually Pinkie Pie's real name, Fluttercruel, Greedity, Traitor Dash, Liarjack, and Dull Dawn.

Pinkamena, who used to be Pinkie, was born with poofy hair that went flat when she got her cutie mark and stayed flat until "Party of one" where it turned poofy when she went crazy. Now turned Pinkamena, she was the pony who sold cupcakes and sweets, who hated laughter and anypony who laughed. She hated working at Sugarcube Corner, but she was only there because the harsh and cruel Mr. and Mrs. Cake forced her to. They gave her a room and she would have to live somewhere or else Discord might kidnap her. They beat her and laughed in her face, but she knew better than to lash out at them or else they might kick her out.

Fluttercruel, when she was Fluttershy had streaks of dark red in her mane. She was now the leader of the elements of disharmony because of her now cruel nature. She was a ruthless tyrant and hated animals, especially Angel and Spike. Spike hid whenever Fluttershy came to punish Twilight for not coming to the disharmony meetings she held at her cottage. She physically and verbally hurt Angel whenever she could and rewarded him for doing bad things, which Angel always regreted, but did anyways to avoid injuries. Fluttercruel also always covered her cutie mark in embarassment with the blood of poor animals that she had killed.

Greedity, who used to be Rarity, didn't care about hygene after the change. She would do anything to get even one bit. She claimed all of Sweetie Belle's room her's but left just a tiny amount for Sweetie Belle in the corner. The greed overtook her and she eventually kicked Sweetie Belle out just to make room for Tom. Sweetie Belle eventually had to sleep in the Cutie Mark Crusader clubhouse with the other crusaders, since they freed Discord, they weren't discorded, but wished they were because of all the pain seeing their friends and family being who they weren't.

Traitor Dash was the most traitorous pony in Dicordia. She was on the discorded ponies' side, but it would be just a few moments until she joined the Anti-Discord cause. She was useful but for only a while. Because she spent an equal amount of time with each side, she knew things about them and blabbed them to the other side. She was a very gossipy pony because of that. She always looked suspicious, and when she backstabbed her friends, some ponies could see a touch of regret behind those steel-grey eyes.

Liarjack wasn't tough to figure out. She lied about everything all the time and that made it easy to figure out that all you have to do to understand her, was to think of the opposite of what she said like if she says she didn't eat that apple over there, she did. She lived with Granny Smith, the dancing machine, Big Mac, who seems to be a dog, and Apple Bloom, who wasn't even discorded, but soon after, she ran away with the Crusaders and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who were now called Plastic Zirconium and Rusted Fork.

Now they were the Elements of Disharmony, Misery, Cruelty, Betrayal, Greed, Dishonesty, and Lonliness.

Dawn sadly shaked her head. Why did the fate of everypony have to be this way? Why couldn't we stop Discord? Why did I have to give up? She asked herself billions of questions and always found the same answer.

Because I'm a coward.

She layed her head on her pillow and sobbed.

Crash!

"Rainbow Dash! What did I tell you about flying around in my library?" Twilight asked rhetorically.

"I dunno. I wasn't paying attention the last time." Rainbow Dash said absent-mindedly.

Twilight sighed as she telekinetically picked up the books that fell when Rainbow Dash hit them.

"Really, Rainbow Dash, you should be more careful. Your behaving like a total klutz!" Twilight said.

"Me? A klutz?! I've just been really antsy 'cause you've kept me all cooped up in here, and Celestia knows what for!" Rainbow Dash admitted.

"And what have I told you about saying Princess Celestia's name in vain?" Twilight asked impatiantly.

"Whatever." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, wait no more, we just needed to wait until our friends weren't busy." Twilight said matter-of-factly.

"You mean instead of spending a cramped afternoon in here, I could've waited until everypony wasn't busy, and just spend it flying instead?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Well yes.... but it does get a bit lonely without Spike, but he should be arriving here with the others just about now." Twilight said sheepishly.

On cue, a pink party pony burst in through the door, breaking the fourth wall saying "So we're gonna go through a portal Twilight?"

Twilight, who was oblivious to the fourth wall breaking said "Yes Pinkie... how did you know?" She said surprised.

"Oh, silly filly. I know lots of things! Don't you remember about the parasprites?" Pinkie Pie said cheerfully.

"Hmm. I guess that's true..." Twilight said.

"And what about my Pinkie Sense?" Pinkie added. Twilight nodded.

"Ooh! And when me and Spike came to tell you about - oh wait, I don't think that happened yet..." Pinkie said.

"Um, it's 'Spike and I' and what are you even talking about Pinkie?" Twilight asked, confused.

"Never mind, it was silly." Pinkie bit her lip. Pinkie, you're just doing this for the sake of the plot. She sighed, then returned to her cheerful, bouncy self.

"Okay? Well, I need you to go get Spike and the others." Twilight said.

"Okie dokie loki!" Pinkie said as she bounced out the door.

A few moments later, everyone was there at the library. Pinkie Pie bounced in last.

I wonder how she managed to get everypony here so fast! Oh well, maybe it's just because she's Pinkie Pie. Twilight thought.

The mane six and Spike went down to the laboratory part of the library, with Twilight leading, telekinetically moving the box containing the Elements of Harmony.

Applejack was the first to ask, "Twilight, why do we even need to bring the Elements with us?"

"Yes, I agree. It seems rather odd for just some meeting being held in a... dusty basement." Rarity added.

"That's true, but it's not a basement, it's my laboratory. You see, I've been working on a portal to another dimension. I've sensed a great deal of evil and disharmony so I decided to ask for some extra help and I've added the precaution of the Elements for safety measures." Twilight responded.

"So is that what Pinkie meant by "a portal"?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Precisly. Although I'm still not sure how she knew about it..." Twilight admitted.

A pale yellow hoof raised in the air.

"Yes Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking... by you saying that you need company and safety measures... does that mean that, um, well, we would be going inside the portal?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes." Twilight answered.

"So, we're gonna be like time travellers?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Close, we're going to travel to an alternate dimension." Twilight answered.

There were mixed reponses from the group. Rainbow Dash, of course, thought it was cool. Fluttershy was scared. Rarity worried about her boutique, she had orders to fill, but she decided she would stay with her friends. Applejack was just happy to help her friends. Pinkie Pie.... well, was just being Pinkie Pie.

Spike, who might have been forgotten over this whole time, spoke up.

"Before we go, don't we have to put your Element necklace and crown thingys on your necks?" Spike asked, then looked at Twilight and added, "And head?"

"Spike's right." Twilight said as she put each necklace on the corisponding pony. "Loyalty, Generosity, Honesty, Laughter, Kindness, and Magic. We're ready."

"But Twilight, what's gonna be waitin' for us in the portal?" Applejack asked.

"Goodness... well I don't really know. All I know is that it's an alternate dimension. There could be anything behind it." Twilight repied, turning to the portal.

"Evil and disharmony girls! And Spike..." Pinkie Pie hinted.

All the others had no clue.

"Come on everyone, think!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Is it Sombra?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"No." Pinkie Pie hopped around the ponies.

"That changling queen?" Spike guessed.

"No! Come on, everyone, you can do it!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Disharmony... it must be Discord again." Twilight thought out loud.

"YES THAT'S RIGHT TWILIGHT!!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she appeared upside down above Twilight's head.

Bewildered, Twilight said "Pinkie! Don't do that!"

"Alright, sorry." Pinkie Pie said.

"Discord, huh... for all we know, he could be in the form of an alicorn, or a vegetable... or even much more powerful... We don't know what could be in that alternate dimension so-" Twilight pondered.

"Come on slowponies!" Pinkie said, half out the portal, which somehow was magically opened without Twilight even activating it yet. She giggled as she dissapeared through the purple-black hazy swirl of magic.

One by one, the remaining Elements and Spike jumped in the portal.

Voices. Discord! Oh no, he's coming.

"Hello Luna. How are you on this fine, chaotic day?" Discord asked with sarcasm.

Princess Luna frowned.

"Well, I thought that-" Discord began.

"Just get to the point!" Princess Luna snapped.

Discord frowned. "Someone wants to see you."

Princess Celestia stepped forward. Princess Luna looked up in surprise.

"T-tia? Is it really you?" She stuttered.

"Lulu!" Princess Celestia ran up to her sister for a hug.

After talking for about an hour, Luna said "Tia, why don't you stop him? Why couldn't you end this?" Princess Luna cried.

"Oh, Lulu, I want to, really. But he threatened the life of you and all of Equestria! I just couldn't let that happen!" Princess Celestia admitted.

"Ahem. It's Discordia now, and visiting hour is over... Forever!" Discord said.

Princess Celestia looked in wonder of what Discord was going to do. Discord tied her up as she was caught off guard. She struggled to free herself, but then she noticed Discord positioned her in such a way, that she had a clear view of Luna.

Oh no,, She thought to herself. He's going to do somethint to Lulu!

"Lulu!" Princess Celestia shouted as Luna started to become aware of what was going on.

"Tia!" Luna said with tears in her eyes, "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." Celestia whispered back.

Discord struck.

Princess Celestia could only stare in horror at what Discord did. He's gone too far... oh my, all the blood. How could he do this to poor Luna? She was so young... Luna was my only reason to live, besides Twilight, but now both of them are gone.

A box of tissues appeared in front of her.

"Discord stop hurting me!" Celestia screamed.

"Whatever do you mean Celestia?" Discord laughed smugly.

"Just kill me now! I've had enough! Kill me!" Celestia screamed. Discord started to laugh.

"What are you doing? I said KILL ME!" Celestia was hysterical. Discord simply left the room.

"To-do list for today, 1. Kill Luna, check," He said as he checked off that box. "2. Break Celestia's spirit, check" He laughed evily.

"Oof!" Said Equestria Spike as he landed on top of Twilight. Huh, what a potral ride. He dusted himself off and stood up.

"Woah..." Said the mane six. They looked at the sight before them, a world ruled by Discord.

Everything was chaotic and grey. All the grey ponies looked up at them and said, "They have colour! They aren't discorded!"

A silence was followed as the six was frozen and panicked. "Meh, we don't really care." The grey ponies said as they kept walking.

"Phew, that was close, right Spike?" Said Twilight. She noticed they were one baby dragon short... "Spike?"

"They have colour!" Said the grey ponies, "They aren't discorded!"

Gasp. "They're here! Oh, Pinkie was right, that was fast!" Said the Discordia Spike. He snuck over to where the Elements were.

Come on, Spike, you can do this. You're not kidnapping you alternate dimensional twin, you're holding an unannounced meeting with him in an alley.

D Spike took in a breath, then gagged E Spike and dragged him to the alley.

Gagged. Of course, this is how I'll die. Dragged to my doom by one of Discord's henchponies... wait, are these dragon hands?

E Spike looked up, and there was a grey baby dragon, dragging him to an alley.

Of course, my discorded alternate dimensional twin.

D Spike sat E Spike down on a rock and tied him to the pole beside it. He removed the gag.

"Help! Help! Somepony please help!" E Spike shouted.

"Shh! They won't care anyway." D Spike said.

E Spike looked unsure, but promply stopped.

D Spike sighed. "Look Spike, you and your friends will be in great danger without this warning, so here it is. You have to get the Elements back together again, as friends."

"How can I trust you, DISCORDED ME?!" E Spike said.

"Well, I'm not really discorded, it's just I was scared that if ponies see me with colour, they would call Discord to come and discord me." D Spike said as he wiped off the grey powder off his cheek. "I don't have to worry about that now, though, but let's keep it like this to tell us apart."

E Spike's jaw dropped.

"And I know to tell you this because I'm this dimension's fourth wall breaker." D Spike said.

"Huh?" E Spike said, confused.

"Well, you know how Pinkie Pie in your dimension is, well... Pinkie Pie? Well, in my dimension, she's discorded so she's not like that anymore, but in every dimension, there's supposed to be a fourth wall breaker, someone who knows what's going on in other dimensions, even talk to the people there, and that's how I found out by the way, and can interfere there. If there isn't, the whole dimension might fall apart, and I was taught by Pinkie Pie herself! Uh, the one from your dimension," D Spike explained.

E Spike was as confused as ever.

"Never mind, I didn't really expect you to get it anyways, but I bet the human reading this did." D Spike said.

"What? Human? Reading? I don't get it, what do you mean by reading?" E Spike questioned.

"Nothing! Now go tell the others you have to tell the mane six from your dimension to convince them to be their element to undiscord this dimension's Elements. Hurry!" D Spike said as he cut the rope holding E Spike.

E spike looked confused. "Mane six? Are you kidding? Wow, that is the lamest pun-"

"Spike, let's go!" Pinkie Pie said, popping up from nowhere.

"P-Pinkie? What are you-" E Spike began.

"No time! Hurry!" Pinkie shouted.

E Spike and Pinkie ran out of view of D Spike.

You all better fix this. Good luck.

"Twilight, we're back!" Said E Spike, out of breath from running.

"Oh thank goodness, we were worried! Where did you go?" Twilight asked.

"Well," pant. "Discorded me," pant. "Wasn't discorded after all!" pant. "Fourth wall," pant. "Pinkie," pant. sigh. E Spike lay on his back, tired. Twilight turned to Pinkie Pie.

"You got to convince the discorded versions of you to be their element to undiscord them!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Wow, that's all we have to do?" Twilight pondered.

E Spike and Pinkie Pie nodded.

"Alright, looks like we're splitting up. Convince them to be their element to undiscord your alternate dimentional counterpart. Move out!" Twilight said.
