No! I'm the Spirit of Chaos!
Today was just suppose to be an ordinary day, well as ordinary as it can get with the spirit of chaos himself strolling through the streets of Ponyville.
Discord threw his arms up into the air as he walked onto the dirt road. "Ahh, free at last." Discord said to himself.
"It's so boooring being stuck in Fluttershy's small cottage for so long." Discord has been locked away in that blasted house for at least an entire hour. An hour of causing no chaos. No chaos. What. So. Ever. Booooring!
Discord decided to do what he does best as he walked through the streets of Ponyville. What was that? Well causing a bit of chaos of course.
Discord stopped in the center of town and rubbed his hands together like an incredibly corny villain. He chuckled manically to himself as he spotted his first target.
There on the other side of the town. Was a lone, helpless, filly. Discord grinned as he held up his taloned hand and gave his talons a small snap.
Discord was now next to the little filly, but rather than his normal and off putting form, he was a brand new, shiny, red balloon.
The little filly let out a small gasp and smiled in glee as she saw the red balloon, she quickly leapt up and grabbed the balloon, Discord didn't anticipate this reaction from the little filly.
The filly pulled down the red balloon and jumped onto it, with all of her weight.
Discord didn't exactly want to pop as a balloon, it just felt wrong. So instead of popping, Discord decided to scare the little filly by becoming his natural draconequus state.
As the little filly stood on the chest of Discord, passerby ponies all stared at the event unfolding.
"Perfect, now all the ponies shall see that I am-" Discord's thoughts were interrupted as he felt the warm sensation of the filly's hooves wrap around his neck.
"Wha-what?!" Discord stammered out, was this little filly not afraid of his appearance? Did she not cower in fear of the creature that she stood upon, no that she was hugging!
The small gathering of ponies all made that stereotypical. "D'awww." Sound. Discord felt his left eye twitch slightly as he heard a pony say.
"Look at how cute they are!"
That was enough for Discord, he snapped his talons and vanished onto the other side of town.
"Well, that was an odd fluke, it won't happen again." Discord said to himself. "Now, who will be my first victim of the day." Discord said as his eyes scanned the ponies.
His eyes eventually found a lone young stallion, he was sitting alone on a bench. Now this stallion wasn't exactly the figure of cute, no as matter of fact, when Discord looked at this stallion, the thought of 'nerd' was practically shouting out at him.
The young beige colored stallion, wore a simple blue-white plaid shirt, a pocket protecter and pens stuck out from the shirt's pocket. The stallion wore glasses on his face, and acne decorated forehead.
Discord grinned. "Couldn't be easier."
The plan here was to get the group of mares that were nearby to go and talk to him, the mares would see just how nerdy this stallion was and would laugh at him. Perfect, simple, and easy. Discord didn't even have to do that much.
Discord took form of a pony, everything about the pony looked normal, except the two horns that were sticking out of his head. Discord smirked and put his hooves on the horns and pushed them into his skull.
Discord trotted up to the group of mares that were under a tree and began a simple conversation with them.
"Hey mares." Discord said, suave in his voice.
"Umm...hi?" A pink mare asked pony-Discord.
"See that lonely stallion over there?" Discord said pointing at the beige colored stallion.
The group of mares nodded. "He looks like he needs some attention." Discord simply stated.
"Yeah, he does look a bit lonely." Stated the pink mare.
A purple mare next to him chuckled. "He looks kind of cute." The mare said.
For the second time today, Discord didn't anticipate this response. "Huh?"
"Yeah, cmon mares lets go cheer up his day!" Stated the pink mare, the other two mares nodded and followed her lead as they headed for the stallion.
Discord could only watch in horror as the mares spoke to the stallion. The stallion was smiling, the mares were giggling. After about a minute of talking the mares pointed towards Discord. When they pointed towards him he broke his pony form and returned to him normal state.
The group of mares and now stallion headed for Discord. The stallion spoke to Discord.
"Hey dude, thanks! I really needed some friends, now thanks to you I got some!" The stallion stated gleefully. The mares giggled. "Here I thought, you were suppose to cause chaos, looks like Ms. Cheerilee was wrong when she was teaching me in school." The mares giggled again.
The stallion turned and the mares clung to him as he went, this left Discord shocked, and speechless. Almost speechless.
"B-b-but...I'm the spirit of chaos!" Discord shouted to himself.
Discord was left thinking to himself. Was he loosing his chaotic touch? Was he going soft? Why was he making everything better, he was suppose to cause problems and dis-harmony!
Discord threw his arms up. "No, I'm the bad guy here! I do bad things!" Discord felt something soft fall into his hands, he pulled his arms down and looked at the fluffy white cat ball that was now in his hands. Discord looked up at the tree and back down at the cat.
"Did you just fall out of that tree?" Discord asked the cat. Rather than getting any kind of response from the cat, Discord got a scream from a little filly.
"You found mittens!" A little grey filly bounded up towards the draconequus and retrieved the cat from his paw and talons. "Thank you, you're such a nice stallion!" The little filly cried to him.
A small group of passerby ponies all stared at Discord, the ponies were all whispering things like:
"He saved that cat." Or,
"He found that little filly's kitten!" Even,
"Discord is such a hero!" That drew the line, Discord snapped his talons and vanished from the area.
Discord now stood on the edge of Ponyville.
"I just can't do anything chaotic! What's wrong with me!" Discord cried. "Maybe, I should just start from the outside of the town." Discord said as he looked around the outskirts of Ponyville. "I need to do something drastic to make up for the mistakes I've made...but just what shall make up fo-" Discord was cut off when his eyes caught ice archers.
"Yes ice archers, oh the brilliance and luck I have on my side, I won't even bother taking a disguise, I want the ponies to know I'm doing something bad!"
Discord's plan was truly evil, he was going to waltz in and cause one of the three ice archers to make a mistake and shoot one of their friends. Truly chaotic. Discord grinned, as he literally solo waltzed his way towards the ice archers. As he made his way towards the archers his plan to make them mess up was to just simply scare them.
Discord crept behind one of the three archers, he rose his arms and got ready to scare the pony, when suddenly one of the other ice archers slipped on the melting ice and fired an arrow directly into the back of Discord. The ice archer Discord just accidentally protected turned and saw Discord's pained face.
The archer that fired the arrow ran towards Discord.
"He just saved your life!" Cried out the ice archer.
"He did?" The would be dead pony said.
"I did?" Discord managed as the ice arrow began to spread through his belly. Discord snapped his fingers and the arrow along with any evidence of damage was gone.
The pony that fired the arrow nodded. "That bolt would of gotten you right in the back of the head, this guy here is a hero!" Cried the stallion.
That was it. "NO, I'M THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS, I AM NOT THE GOOD GUY!" Shouted Discord.
"Well you did just save my life, so no matter what anypony says your my hero!" The stallion said.
Discord frowned and snapped his fingers. He was now sitting alone in Fluttershy's cottage. He covered his face with his mix matched hands and wept.
. . . .
Hours past, Fluttershy finally went home after a long day at Twilight's library. When Fluttershy opened the door she heard un familiar sobs coming from within. Two instincts kicked into her mind. The first was her motherly and caring side. Who was crying and how could she help. The second was her shy side, who was in her home?
Fluttershy made her way towards the sounds, they were coming from Discord's room, she slowly cracked open the door and peeked inside. There she saw Discord slumping over, his body heaving along with the sobs.
"Discord?" Fluttershy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
More sobs were her response.
Fluttershy made her way over and sat on Discord's bed. "What's wrong Discord?"
"I-I'm not Discord anymore!" Cried Discord.
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked as she put her hoof onto his back.
"I can't do anything bad! J-just call me accord!" Accord cried.
"Accord?" Asked Fluttershy.
"I-it means harmonious." Accord cried.
"Oh, well if that's what you want...Accord." Fluttershy said to accord.
"It's not, but that's all I can be now!" Accord said.
"Come on, I know if you try hard enough you can be Discord again." Fluttershy said. 'Wait, am I helping him be bad?' Shy' thought to herself.
"D-do you really think so?" Accord said wiping his tears away.
"No, I know so." Stated Shy'.
"Then I shall be Discord again!" Discord said, leaping up off the bed. "Thank you Flutters'. Discord snapped his fingers and disappeared from the room leaving Fluttershy alone and confused.
"What did I just do?" Fluttershy asked herself.
. . . .
It was night time and Discord spent his one second travel creating the master plan.
Discord now stood inside the Royal Palace. His plan, take the sisters' pretty flowing manes and replace them with each others. Simple, there was no way he could mess this one up.
While Celestia slept Discord made his way for her chambers. He giggled like a mad stallion as he drew nearer and nearer. He saw her chamber doors were completely unguarded, too easy.
Discord opened the mighty doors with a small push, the doors made no creak whatsoever. Discord crept towards the sleeping alicorn and grabbed her flowing mane. As he gently tugged her mane off her head he grinned. Just as Discord removed the last bits of flowing mane from the princess's head the doors to her chambers burst opened, flooding the room with light.
"PRINCES I SAW THE DOORS WERE AJAR IS SOMETHING WRON-" The guard stallion was cut off as he saw Discord looming above the princess.
Celestia slowly sat up in her bed and looked at Discord holding her mane.
The guard stood in the doorway bug eyed and slack jawed. "Did Discord just save your life Princess?" The guards asked.
"What do you mean, I saved her life?"
"He means what he said, look at what your holding." Celestia said calmly.
Discord looked down at his talons and saw a the Equestrian Wandering Spider in Celestia's mane, the most venomous spider in all of Equestria, if this spider would have bitten Celestia she would have died in seconds. Discord snapped his fingers and the spider was no more.
"I believe I owe you my thanks Discord." Celestia said to the draconequus.
"Equestria would have been lost without the Princess, Discord just saved Equestria." Stated the guard.
"Yes, he did save Equestria didn't he?" Celestia turned to Discord. "How do you feel Discord?" Asked the sun goddess.
Discord only could cry at his failure, he snapped his talons and vanished back to Fluttershy's home.
. . . . . .
The following day, Discord was announced an official Equestrian hero. The news was all over the papers. Equestria Daily made sure to make him seem as heroic as possible.
Discord was now a public hero figure, every time a pony saw him they bowed and thanked him.
Anypony would love to be in Discord's shoes, but every time somepony thanks Discord they swear they can see a small tear in his eye.
