The Chaos Game

Discord knew it was time. He couldn't wait anymore. The sun still wasn't out but the moon was almost down. He knew Moonlight was still asleep, so made sure everyone else was awake first. He even woke Celestia and Luna himself, and neither of them was too happy about that. Celestia was angry. "Discord! The next time you do that could you do it nicely?" Discord pretended he was thinking. "Hmmmmm, and my answer is........No!" He quickly flew out he door. When he saw that everyone was already about to go into the arena for the next game he slithered into his room. Moonlight was still sleeping. Discord smiled. He pulled the blankets of her and was going to tickle her again. Before he could touch her Moonlight smiled. "Don't even think about it." Discord sighed. "Well how else am I supposed to wake you up?" Moonlight turned to him. "I'll have to think about that one." She opened her eyes and got out of the bed. "Did you wake everyone else up by tickling them?" Discord shook his head. "Why would I do that. None of them deserve it." Moonlight jumped up and flew over him. "Come on. Your audience awaits." Discord rolled his eyes. "Must you always be so dramatic?" Moonlight smirked. "Oh please, and your not dramatic at all!" Discord sighed. "What am I going to do with you?" Moonlight smiled. "There isn't anything you can do." Discord retuned the smile. "I suppose your right." They reached the arena. Moonlight looked up at him. "Just promise me you'll be careful. I don't want them to hurt you." Discord caressed her face. "Trust me my dear, I won't let them do anything." Moonlight nodded and turned around to go to her seat. As she sat down she felt a tear fall down her face. "I trust you." Discord turned towards the other end of the arena. Celestia and Luna were there, staring at him. Then the starting horn went off. Discord's eyes began to glow brightly.

Discord stood on his end of the arena. "Come on Celestia, bring it to me." When Celestia saw that Discord wasn't attacking she made her move. She tried to blast him with her magic but he caught the beam in his paw. He crushed it and let the remains fall to the ground. Luna saw what happened and used her magic to send a swirling beam of magic towards him. But Discord blew on it and it dissolved into nothing. Celestia and Luna put both their horns together. They created a large purple beam and aimed it at Discord. The Draconequus held his claw out and tried pushing back the energy. The magic was pushing him back but it didn't seem to be affecting him. Celestia and Luna tried harder, sending more magic towards him. Discord then held up his paw as well. He took all the magic and reversed it sending it towards Luna and Celestia. Luna used her magic to shield them. Then they watched as Discord snapped his fingers. Celestia looked around. Nothing had happened. Then she saw a beam of magic coming towards her. It was from Luna. "Luna! What are you doing?" Luna looked scared. "I'm sorry Celestia, it's not my fault! My horn is doing it on it's own!" Celestia turned towards Discord to see he had a dark smile on his face. Celestia was scared, it looked like he had lost his mind, and his sanity. Then again, he never really had any sanity to begin with. Luna fired another beam at Celestia. It barely missed her. Discord laughed. "This is all too easy." He said to himself. Then he looked up at the dome Nightmare Moon had made. It gave him an idea. He snapped his fingers once again and everything was pitch black. He chuckled evilly.  "Luna! Where are you?" Celestia called. "I'm over here!" Luna called out. Suddenly everything got bright, and she could see Luna. Celestia ran over to her sister. Then everything got dark again. "Celestia, I do not like where this is going." Luna said in a nervous tone. Celestia sighed. "I know, but remember this is only a small bit of what he can do. Besides I'm sure it will get bright again very soon. Suddenly they could see again, then they heard a dark laugh. "Celestia, he is beginning to scare me." Luna said. "Don't worry I'm sure it's nothing." Celestia insisted with a nervous voice. Then it went pitch black again. They could hear Discord. "What's the matter Celestia? It sounds like  someone's scared of the dark." Celestia stomped her hoof. "Enough! Show yourself!" Discord laughed again. This time it sounded like he was closer. It got bright again. Celestia looked around, she couldn't see Discord. It went black again. "My my Celestia. You're making this too easy." Discord said. Celestia got angry. "Come out now!" Discord sighed. "Oh Celestia, you really don't want me to do that." Luna growled. "Show yourself, coward!" Discord smiled in the dark. "Very well, if you insist. Oh and guess what Celestia! Unlike you, she admires my eyes." Celestia grew nervous. "Your what?" Discord laughed.  "My eyes Celestia. She finds them quite fascinating, and I'm sure you will too." Celestia turned to look at Luna. Only she was gone. "Oh no." The light came back and Celestia could see Luna. Her eyes were full of swirling colors. The light went out again and Celestia saw Discord. Actually she could only see his eyes. They were glowing in the dark. Celestia began to back away. "Why don't you trust me Celestia? I'm not a monster......." Then his eyes starting to become full of colorful spirals. Celestia covered her eyes. She knew Discord was in front of her. "Stay away from me!" Celestia yelled. "Why? I thought you wanted to see me. Trust me Celestia." Celestia grit her teeth. She shut her eyes harder. "No, I'm not falling into the same trap that she did." Discord got closer, he spoke to her in a loud whisper. "Celestia! How dare you insult my Queen!" Celestia opened her eyes for a moment. "Maybe she does love you but I don't see why!" Discord narrowed his eyes. "Because unlike you, she knows how to find true beauty Celestia." Discord circles around her. Celestia shut her eyes again. "Don't try to play your mind games with me Discord. Let Luna go." Discord smirked. "No. Why should I?" Celestia opened her eyes. The light was back. Discord was right in front of her. She fired a beam from her horn and it hit Discord. He flew backwards. The light came back completely. Discord narrowed his eyes. Then heard a familiar voice. "Discord!" It was Moonlight. Just promise me you'll be careful. I don't want them to hurt you.

Moonlight was watching everything. So far it seemed easy, Discord was resisting every spell thrown at him. Then he began using Luna's magic to target Celestia. It seemed as if this was too easy, he was going to win. Then suddenly everything went black. Although it was dark, Moonlight could still tell what was happening, she could hear Discord talking to Celestia and Luna. The light's would constantly go on and off. She watched as Luna and Celestia started to get scared. Moonlight could see Discord's eyes glowing in the dark. Celestia was demanding that he come out of the dark. Discord hypnotized Luna and then to so the same to Celestia. But she was resisting him, Moonlight had a bad feeling something was going to happen. She watched as Discord tried to get Celestia to look at him. But all she did was demand that he let go of Luna. When Discord refused she saw Celestia open her eyes. Celestia hit Discord with her magic. Moonlight screamed. "Discord!" Her eyes instantly filled with tears. Celestia had hurt Discord, and now all Moonlight could feel was anger.

Discord looked up at Moonlight. She was clenching her teeth, and she looked scared. Right now he didn't care that Celestia had hurt him, he was mad that she hurt Moonlight. He quickly stood up. Celestia tried to hit him with another beam, but Discord blocked it instantly. Celestia could tell he was mad. Luna was still under Discord's spell. "Luna, help me!" But Luna just stood there. Celestia watched as Discord used his magic to form a large orb. He threw it at her. She wasn't fast enough, and the orb hit her. She was pushed into the ground. Luna saw and broke out of her trance. "Celestia!" She turned to face Discord. She sent many small balls of energy towards him. Discord flew into the air avoiding all of them. He was going to finish this, no more games. This one was going to end. He snapped his fingers causing the ground to shake and slide. Luna couldn't stay balanced so she flapped her wings and got high into the air. Luna sent a dark blue beam towards him, while Discord blocked it with a deep yellow beam.  Luna began to get very tired. Discord was stronger. His magic hit her causing her to fall towards the ground. "I am the King of Chaos!" Discord said. Luna tried to get up but she was so tired and sore she couldn't move. Discord won. Moonlight flew over to him and knocked him down. "ARE YOU OKAY?" She said in a scared tone. Discord started stroking Moonlight's mane. "I'm fine, I'm more worried about you." Moonlight was so overwealmed she couldn't think straight at all. "I just.....you can't......they....hurt you...." Discord tried calming her down. "Shhh. I'm fine. Don't lose all of your sanity just yet." Moonlight sighed. " First I don't think I really have any sanity. I'm sorry, I just got nervous. I thought they did something really bad to you." Discord smiled. "They did, they almost broke you." Moonlight took a deep breath. "Okay, are you SURE your alright?" Discord sighed. "You and I really need some alone time." Moonlight nodded. "That would be nice."
