Discord's Mindby KatonaIzuboriFIMChaptersWhere the Buck Am I?!WatLord DiscordWhere the Buck Am I?!I opened my eyes and looked around me, my whole body aching from the sudden waves of magic that had just attacked me. Everything looked exactly like it did a few seconds ago, so I guess Discord had fled after 'accidentally' hitting me with magic. I scoffed, standing up and stretching my sore bones. I heard a loud explosion and my ears shot up, pinpointing the exact whereabouts of the combustion was. I looked up and saw little bits of ashes flutter down. What? hiss BOOM! I saw a light blue firework light up the orange sky and I realized there was no danger. But why would they have fireworks going off in Ponyville this time of the year? Nightmare Night was moons ago... maybe somepony's birthday? I'm guessing Pinkie Pie was going all out for somepony. As I trotted down the hill back towards Ponyville, I noticed something strange about the town right away. Something was... off... As I came to the square, I saw the Pyro Pony shooting off fireworks incessantly. "Umm... sir? May I ask why you're doing that?" I asked politely. He turned to me, his eyes alight with passion and grinned... kind of creepy actually. "Because Lord Discord commanded me so! Randomly shoot off fireworks whenever possible! Heh heh! BOOM BOOM BOOM!" He grabbed a match and thrust it onto a large ball of powder. I galloped away, shaking my head. Lord who? Discord? I headed over to Twilight's, wondering if maybe she had an answer to my question. I knocked on the door, and when I didn't hear a reply I slowly opened the door, peering my head in. I heard some mare speak in a slow, high pitched voice. "Ohhhh Spike!!! Mmmm...." Rarity said seductively. My eyes widened and I began to tremble as I slammed the door shut. What the BUCK???!!! I ran over to the farm, hoping Applejack would tell me something worthwhile. I headed inside the barn and I heard the noise of an ax fall. I saw red blood spurt everywhere and I saw Big Mac holding a chicken by it's scrawny neck... except it had no head. "WAT WAT WAT WAT WAT??!!!" I backpedaled out of the farm and ran back into the town. "Where the buck am I?! This can't be Ponyville! Everybody in this town is CRAZY!" I begged to my sweet soul Pinkie Pie, my best friend, was at least somewhat herself. I slammed my hoof on the door to Sugarcube Corner and shoved the door open. "P-P-P-Pinkie!" A crowd of fillies surrounded a large birthday cake with Pinkie Pie in the middle, her back turned away from me. Slowly the satanic pony with a fork in her hoof turned to me and smiled. "Hai! I'm Pinkie Pie!" Her eyes shone with an evil malice. "Do you want to play a game?!" WatAs I quickly ran away from that dreaded place I decided to find Twilight and go with her to inquire the Princesses what in the name of Celestia is happening. I looked up in the sky and saw Rainbow Dash creating storm clouds in the air. "Oi! Rainbow Dash! Do you know where Twilight is?" I called, looking up at her. She frowned and looked confused. She flew down and landed, a little less than gracefully in front of me. "Twi-who? Oh that librarian egghead. She's probably with Flash Sentry in the meadows." She forced herself up in the air, wheezing as she went. Whaaaaa.... Rainbow doesn't know Twilight? I came to the fields and watched as Flash handed her a flower and she put it in her hair. I ran down, screaming from the top of my lungs. "TWWWWWWWIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHTTTTTT!" I stopped, yelling in her face. "IHAVENOIDEAWHATSGOINGONEVERYTHINGMAKESNOSENSESPIKEANDRARITYANDBIGMACANDPINKUEPIEINSANESATATNICPONYANDRAINBOWDASHANDFIREWORKSANDLORDDISCORDWHATTHEBUCKANDWENEEDTOGOTOPRINCESSCELESTIAAAAA!!!!" I fell to her hooves, gasping for air. She looked at Flash and nodded at him to go. He saluted and then ran off, heading back home. "Okay... Forlock, was it? I met you the other day." I nodded, still struggling to breathe. She helped me up and we walked around the pond, looking at the ducks. "Can we please go see Princess Celestia?" Twilight laughed, wiping tears from her eyes. "Princess who? Do you mean Lady Celestia? Like Lord Discord's wife?" WAT DA WAT?! "WIFE?! AND LORD?! I can't... I can't..." My mind could not compute. Celestia+Discord= Opposites= Kingdom falling apart= we would all be dead= how? Discord+Lord= what what what? "Yeah. Lord Discord! I'm so happy to be his student in chaos making with Screwball! He's such a wonderful teacher and a good leader. Such freedom he gives out to people... such hope and courage..." Twilight said, smiling and looking at Canterlot. She shook her head and looked back at me. "So you want to go see him? I do have this assignment for him I have to return, so it's a good excuse to go!" I followed her to the train station, but my mind was still reeling with this new information. Twilight is Discord's student. Celestia is married to Discord... nope nope nope. Discord is the ruler of Equestria. Okay. ....... I still can't believe it. Lord DiscordWe sat in the train, heading to Canterlot at a moderate speed. As we passed through the mountain tunnels, I suddenly realized this was a horrible idea. I saw the train transform in a fluid motion into some sort of roller coaster and we plummeted down the slope at the speed of light… without seatbelts. "TWILIGGHHHTTT!" I screamed, clinging onto her and screaming my head off. Little creepy creatures popped up from the scenery, laughing a scary song that repeated over and over again. I covered my ears and they screamed at me. "IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL! IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL! AND IT'S GETTING SMALLER STILL!" Twilight smiled and bobbed along with the music, and in the darkness I saw her eyes glow a slightly yellowish color, with red pupils. I gasped and backed away, scared by her change. We exited the pathway and were suddenly bathed in the sunlight. "Oh thank Celestia it's Canterlot!" I groaned, crawling out of the train of death. Twilight cheerily greeted the guard and we walked through the town. Lions in tutus danced around as flamingos with umbrellas swirled around the town, like some sort of parade. As we made our way to the castle, I gasped. There were monuments to Discord everywhere and scary animals roamed around freely. A organ grinder song played on loudspeakers and I shuddered, for the notes seemed to echo in my soul. We finally came to the palace and we walked right in. I guess nobody in their right mind would want to mess with this Lord Discord. We headed to the throne room and I saw the murals and stained glass windows were different. Celestia and Luna's images were replaced with Discord and some other villain. A large red ape with a scary smile. I remember him, but not his name. The throne room was still large and grandeur, but as we approached the throne, I saw that Lord Discord was absent. Princess Celestia sat in the chair beside the throne, her mane lifeless and limp. Her eyes solemnly looked up at us. But the scary thing was to the left of the throne, chained up and dirty. "F-F-Fluttershy?!" I gasped, seeing her look at me. "Hey." She seemed different. Her mane was spikier than normal and she had a gloom over her. She began to quietly sing a song about a black parade and her father being a phantom. The chain on her neck had a skull embellishment and I frowned. This world is so strange. Celestia straightened, using her magic to sip some cider. "As you can see, Lord Discord isn't here. Twilight, I'll take your paper for you and give it to him." Her magic forcefully removed the scroll from Twilight's pack and looked over the lettering. I stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Lady Celestia? I'm new here… and I don't quite understand. I thought you and Princess Luna ruled over Equestria and Discord was under Fluttershy's care…" She shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry dear mare. A long time ago, yes. I was the ruler of Equestria. But then Discord courted me and enslaved me. If he was here, I'd say something like marriage, but it's more like I'm his slave than anything. I've lost all of my authority." She said, looking at the old mural of her and Discord's marriage. I tilted my head. "But what about the Elements of Harmony? Can't they stop Discord?" Celestia frowned, thinking. "The Element's of Harmony? My sister, Nightmare Moon, destroyed those old relics years ago. We had no way of escaping Discord. It was inevitable. He has so much power here… it still baffles me how much influence he has over the creatures and magic of this world. He can do whatever he wishes here. If you haven't met Lord Discord yet, I suggest you keep it that way and leave. He tends to… unnerve ponies." She finished. I nodded and backed away, tears suddenly pouring from my eyes. "Yes. Thank you Lady Celestia. It was nice seeing you." I sprinted out of the castle as fast as I could, stopping when I reached the garden. So many thoughts swirled in my mind. I would have to be careful to not be discorded in this world.
