Chapter 01: Dreams of Relaxation

‘Three hours, forty-two minutes, fifty-nine seconds,’ thought the trapped spirit, sounded more like a sigh. ‘Three hours, forty-three minutes.’

The stone statue was still in the tunnels of the crystal mines, and the only thing he could do to handle this boredom was counting. The only thing he could see in the tunnels is the paths, holes, and crystals still glowing in the same way of candle light.

The glowing stones were caused by Discord’s chaos magic, so at least he had some lighting to see what’s within the empty mines. He can still hear far and wide, thanks to the winds that blow through the entrance, which sounded like it was several miles through this big maze. With the aid of the wind, he could listen to voices it carries, as long as he was in range.

He also wished he had asked the Spirit of Chaos to take his stone state and put him somewhere outside these mines, that way, he could listen to the voices carried by the winds. If he was outside this blasted mountain, he could be listening from others over miles away from his current position. But with the crystal walls and being in the far depths of the crystal mines, he could only hear the whispers of anyone who came near the entrance.

Sometimes he cursed Starswirl for putting him down here, but knew the old unicorn did it for his safety.

As for the favor he asked for Discord, he really hopes that the draconequus learn the whereabouts of his brothers.

As for the reason of why he was counting, he knew of the outcome of Discord after he broke free. Well nearly, for starters, it’s been a long time since he saw those shows, and by long time, way over a thousand years. He remembered what would happened after thinking about it after Discord had left, kinda wished he remembered it sooner so he could warn him. So he has his memories to remember a few of those shows, and again, heck, the shows would likely never happen at all, since there were so many differences in the world.

‘Three hours and fifty minutes…’ thought Josephiroth, and just as he was about to count the next second, the candle light on the crystal stones faded, returning the darkness within these tunnels.

‘So it’s been three hours and fifty minutes and nearly one second, much faster than me and my brothers spent stalling that spirit long ago,’ he groaned in thought. ‘Then again, factor in the fact that each of us were dealing with our own problems, try to solve the problems in change of landscape, creatures acting strangely, and other criminals. Am I forgetting something… oh yeah, and it was supposed to be my vacation week while Mi Amore Potere does the work.’

After a moment, he thought, ‘Why am I talking to myself? Oh yeah, boredom, I don’t have a second mind like some beings. Might as well just daydream for a bit, or try to get some sleep, maybe try to master how to sleep with my eyes open.’

He remained quiet in thought, while it is still silent all around him in the tunnels. After a moment, he started to think about something, he groaned in thought, ‘How did Discord found me again? Did he do it mentally first or come to my stone body physically?’

After a moment of thinking that, he then thought to himself, ‘Should I tell him about the shows? So far he already knows a few tidbits of it, and the little story-telling which were told to children… maybe he already made a few connections? If he did, would he know that I knew he be turned back into stone after this event?’

He sighed mentally, 'Eh, best stop thinking on such, might as well try to get some sleep again.’

He was starting to feel tired, for some odd reason. He mentally yawned as his eyes are still wide open, unable to close. He tried to keep his mind blank, and still only see the darkness of the tunnels.

After what felt like hours, had a few times thought that Discord might contact him through long range telepathy or something, it finally happen. He slowly went to sleep with his eyes open, without the aid of any spells.

‘Zzzz…zzzz…zzzz…’

Under the night sky, with the moon bright with stars twinkling, were large mountains in the frozen landscape. A few villages lying on top of said mountains, but at one certain location in mountains, steam rises out of one part, steam from the large hot spring.

A big, nicely warm pool of water, which lay closely besides a stone building, a temple that looked like it was carved from the mountain itself, likely made by expert stonecutters. With a few torches on walls to provide lighting, and small waterfalls that pour more hot water down into the warm pool.

And floating in the water, nearly to the middle, was Joey. Not in armor, and the only piece of clothing he wore was red swim trunks. His eyes were closed while just relaxing, and replacing his eyeglasses were goggles.

He was smiling and once in a while, pushes his head back deep into the water, just so it would rise and wash over his face. And then moves his head left than to the right, having his long hair move slowly through the water. He raised his head back up, exposing his face to the cool air.

“Ah… I missed this, the feeling of warm water,” he said quietly to himself. “Water with a hint of…” he slowly pushed his head back down for another wash, till he felt the taste of the water entering his mouth. Notice the taste was different, he raised his head back up once more, “…chocolate?”

Eyes open, and noticed something was blocking his goggles, so he sat up and raised his hands and took hold of his goggles and took it off. And he now noticed that he was sitting in a pool of hot cocoa instead of a hot spring.

“What the?” he asked with a look of confusion and surprised. “This wasn’t part of my dream?” He slowly pushes his feet down to the ground level of the pool and pushes himself up and out of the hot pool of chocolate.

And he discovered his swim trunks were missing, “Gah!” he yelled as he covered his groin with his hands and quickly went back down to cover himself, now close to being waist deep in hot cocoa.

Suddenly he heard laughter to his right, loud, familiar laughter. Eyes wide in shock, he turned and saw Discord standing close by, standing tall, and the hot cocoa up to his knees. Joseph’s mouth dropped and hanged open in shock.

“You should see the look on your face pal, another priceless image for my collection today!” the draconequus grinned widely as he chuckled.

“How did you get in here Discord? How did you breech my mental defense so easily?” asked Josephiroth, still surprised of how Discord was here in his dream.

“And how do you know its dear ole me, oh Joey boy? What if I just a dream construct?” he asked as he waded through the hot cocoa pool, moving till he stand about six feet away from the crouching human.

“Because you’re not one,” he said, now just looking confused. “If you were, I would’ve just dreamt a construct of you, but I didn’t.”

Discord smirked, “Oh really? Are you sure you didn’t dream of my handsome mug?” He grinned as he neared.

“I know because I mastered the power of lucid dreaming for the past thousand years,” he replied, groaning as he closed his eyes and rubbed them with his right hand. “I want to know how you got through my mental defence, how did you get pass the dark forest?”

“That was a defence?” asked Discord, stroking his little beard with his lion paw, looking upward as though he was thinking. Then he shrugged, “I decided to just skip that part and head to the main dish.”

The human looked up to him, “But how? Not even my brothers or the dream-walkers could get into my mind without entering the dark forest maze!”

The Draconequus laughed and patted his back with his eagle talon, “That was a long time ago, Joey, only I knew you were here. So just relax, enjoy this moment.” He then slowly sat down in the pool of hot cocoa, about three feet close to the human, and even though he was just sitting down, the hot cocoa only came up to halfway of his waist.

Joseph sighed and slowly moved himself to sit in a meditation position, the hot cocoa coming up to his chest. Now looking up at Discord, “I am still very confused here.”

Discord chuckled, “And people in the past say you were the wise one, well, closer to Andracus anyways.”

The human rolled his eyes before saying, “For starters, you got into my dream very easily, which was something you didn’t learned before, you couldn’t had learned under four hours. And yes I counted how long you were free, which was three hours and fifty minutes. And then, you’re somehow controlling my dream while I’m supposed to be the dreamer. I’m wondering on how you gain that kind of power to control my dream so easily? And also, why did you remove my swim trunks?”

Discord smiled, “Why should you worry about that silly garment? This is your dream after all, so why?” He looked like he was chewing on something, his cheeks slightly bulging as he does so.

“Memory, trying to remember how it felt like in wearing swim trunks while swimming in a pool, and I hadn’t swam in a pool ever since I came to this world. Hence how I knew this place is my dream from the start, for if it was real, I should be bouncing out of here like a skipping stone.”

“Ah yes, the ups and downs of you elemental spirits,” Discord said, almost muffled noise as he was chewing.

“No talking with your mouth full,” Joseph said a moment after, out of old habit. “And please give back my swim trunks.”

Discord grinned, than he opened his mouth and stuck out his long snake tongue, showing a chewed up mushy red swim trunks.

Seeing such made the human groaned and closed his eyes, “Never mind.”

The draconequus chuckled and pulled his tongue back in and closed his mouth, and continued chewing. After a moment, he then gulped it down, the bulge slowly disappearing in his throat. He licked his lips, “Mmm, quite tasty I must say. And besides Joey,” he grins down to him, “you could always dream up new underwear.”

“First off, it was called a swim trunks,” Joseph said, then moved his left hand to somewhere under the hot cocoa. “And second, the moment I do, you’ll just make them vanish and eat them up like you did a moment ago. And why did you wrap your tail around my waist?”

“Oh just hugging my good friend, it’s not exactly a crime, you know,” Discord replied with a chuckle.

“Not the hug, but it’s annoying with the groping,” the human groaned and slowly pushes the coil tail off of himself, feeling the tuft at the end of the tail feeling around his groin.

But once more, the tail wrapped around his waist, and then pulled closer to the draconequus. “Sorry Joey, but now, we have much to talk about, so best ignore that feeling you feel,” Discord smiled, looking down at him. But slowly, the smile turned into a frown.

“And what do you want to talk about?” asked the human, struggling a bit to remove the tail from his waist, but it seem to just get tighten.

“You knew,” Discord simply said with no humor in his voice. That made Joseph stopped, and slowly turned to look up at the draconequus, who looked down at him with a serious expression. “You knew that I will be turned back into stone. You could’ve told me and I wouldn’t be turned into stone. After my victory, I could’ve gone out to find your lost brothers! But instead, you never told me that Twilight Sparkle returned her friends back to normal and turned me back to stone! So why did you? I thought we were friends?” The draconequus was glaring down at the human.

Joey sighed, forgetting the tail which coiled around his waist and had tighten with each sentence Discord said, if this wasn’t a dream, he would’ve been struggling to get free from the crushing grip. He slowly turned to look up at Discord, looking at his eyes, and then he said, “There were a few many reasons why I never told you. In truth, I forgot all about it. After all, I never saw the shows for a very long time. I had only remembered it when I started to think about it after you left. And even then, I had thought that maybe, this Equestria has a new path of destiny, twists of fate. But it looks like I was wrong,” he sighed, looking down to the water. “I’m sorry for not telling you.”

After a moment of silence, only the sounds of hot cocoa falling into the pool of chocolate like a waterfall. The tail around his waist had less tighten, than moments later, the draconequus wrapped his arms around his head, and with the use of his tail still wrapped around the waist, and he pulled the human close in a big, tight hug.

“I forgive you, but next time, please tell me,” he said while still hugging him tight, was pressing Joey’s head against serpent-like body chest. “After all, we’re friends, aren’t we?” Had stopped hugging tightly to allow the human to move his head, Joey looked up at him.

Joseph chuckled, “Yeah, we are.” Smiled up to him, then Discord allowed some space between them, about two feet apart, and slowly uncoiled his tail from his waist, letting the human relax a bit. “But, want to know one thing about the shows?” Discord looks to him and nodded. “The Discord in those shows didn’t believe in friendship.”

Discord laughed, “There’s more than one type of friendship, my friend. And pony friendship is way to harmonious, boring as Tartarus.” He relaxes in the pool, slouches his back a little.

“To any beings point of view on such,” Joseph replied to that, still sitting at his current spot. After a moment, he looked to the draconequus, “So, what did you do while you were free out there?”

Discord chuckled as he relaxed, “Oh a lot of things... learned a few new ones. But one thing has become real.” He turned to look upwards, towards the night sky, mainly looking at the moon. He sighed, “Equestria has become a boring place.”

He turned to look at the human, “That foolish Celestia believes she’ll bring harmony to the rest of the world…” Joey looked confused but listened. “She has some grand plan for it all. She actually thinks she’ll turn the whole world to her version of harmony. Sounds really ridiculous!” he chuckles after saying it.

Joseph wondered on what kind of plan Celestia was having, but continued to listen as the Spirit of Chaos talk.

“They are all too dependent on magic,” he said.

Joseph chuckled, “Just like you in some sense, you mainly use chaos magic.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Discord replied and patted the human’s head with his eagle talon. “But I literally mean they’re too depended on it. You and your brothers try to bring balance to the world in the past, a perfect blend of order and chaos, magic and technology, etc. etc. etc.” He waved his lion paw three times for each etc. “But ponies, they rely on magic too heavily. They became so easily to fool around with, especially with simple chaos magic. It’s rather sad and disappointing, they improved on magic sure, but they didn’t change at all.”

“For some reason, I’m not surprised,” Joseph said as he crossed his arms.

“Easy to predict compared to the past,” Discord smirked. “Especially for you, with that knowledge of their history inside your mind,” and he knocked on the human’s head with his talon knuckles, sounding like he was knocking on a door, three knocks.

“Depending if I remember each of them,” he replied, didn’t mind that.

“Oh I’m sure you will. But for now, how about a little TV,” and he pulled his talon hand away and snapped his fingers. With a flash, a television remote appeared, and the area seem to tremble and quake, and bursting out of pool edges of rocks and stones, came a huge flat-screen television, a thousand inches. Some rocks and stones fell into the pool of hot cocoa, and the shaking slowly settled.

Both spirits weren’t disturbed by all this, considering this was caused by Discord, and Josephiroth knew this.

“Before we start the show, some refreshments,” Discord said with a grin, and used his lion paw to wave at something to come over.

Considering this was still a dream of his, and yet Discord was in control of it. Joseph turned to see what dream constructs that Discord had summoned. His eyes widen at what he saw.

At the doorway of the stone temple, stood the sun and moon princesses, the two anthro alicorns, and they were nude. He had also notice several difference of these two compared to the ones in his memories of the past, these two were likely of what they look like now.

Celestia grew a few more inches; she now stood about nine feet and six inches tall, the taller of the two alicorns there, and likely always will be. Her body coat was still the same, white with a hint of pink, and her mane and tail is still really long with the colors of pink, violet, green, and cyan eternal. But now, unlike her past self, her body wasn’t an hourglass shape now, she still had muscles, but look a bit flabby, like she never tried to exercise to stay fit. Her breasts were still H-cup size, but now she has what looks like a pot belly, and her thighs and plot was flabby looking too, like she ate way too make sweets. Her horn was still two feet long, and her wings were likely still the same length, and currently folded against her beck. And her mane and tail were at the same length, and her eyes are purple-pink as always. On her thighs were her yellow sun cutie marks.

And as for Luna, she too grew some inches, she is seven feet and eleven inches tall, and her body coat still the same dark blue, and her mane and tail were still at the same length as back then, and still moderate sapphire blue with a grayish persian blue aura surrounding and white little sparkles. Her horn grew a few inches, was now a foot and three inches long, and her wings were still the same wide length as well and currently folded against her back too. And her eyes were still moderate cyan color, and with the light sapphire blue eye shadows. Now that ends with the similarity, now the difference was her body. She still slender-like, but more muscular, she has abs showing too, and her breasts were f-cup size too. On her thighs were her blotches of black with white crescent moon in the middle cutie marks.

They both were also currently nude, no clothes or jewellery on their body. Their nipples were showing, and they were smiling towards them. Both of them were carrying trays, bowl of popcorn on each and stone cups.

Seeing them froze the human for a moment, before he slammed shut his eyes and looked away. He groaned and was blushing a bit at such; he nearly forgot they were dream constructs made by Discord.

“Why?” he asked, keeping his eyes firmly shut, and currently glad that the pool was hot cocoa.

Discord laughed, “Oh to see your reaction mainly.” And slowly both constructs of the alicorn princesses were walking into the pool of hot chocolate, their hooves stepping in, they wade through it, heading toward the two. “Oh relax pal, they’re dream constructs, not the real deal.”

“Please put some clothes on them,” the human asked him, while he had already summoned a new red swim trunk and had them on while still sitting in hot cocoa, he could tell by feeling it. He kept his eyes firmly shut.

“Oh relax and stop acting like you’re a virgin, I know you’re not,” Discord chuckled, just as the two constructs set their trays on the hot cocoa liquid, the trays floating. The sun princess construct moved over and sat on her knees, closely to Discord, smiling to him. While the moon princess construct moved over to Joseph, sitting close to him, and was trying to get his attention. The chocolate staining their lovely coats as they got themselves comfortable.

“I want to honor the memories I have of them, not use them like toys in my mind,” the human replied, frowning as he still kept his eyes firmly shut.

“Even Celestia?” asked Discord, curious as he let the construct of the sun princess massage his back. He picked up the stone cup from his tray and scoops up some hot cocoa and drank it.

“I may still hate her, but I do not want to see her like that,” he replied, then groaned deeply as he felt the moon princess construct hug him from behind, felt her big breasts against the back of his head. He blushed deeply, teeth clenched as he kept his eyes firmly shut. “So please, you made the constructs, put clothes on them.”

Discord chuckled as he watched, then he groaned after what the human asked. He rolled his eyes, knowing that if he doesn’t comply, than Joey will try to take control of his dream and banish the constructs. Personally, he liked having them here, but reluctantly, “Oh fine. Maybe one day you’ll forget your virtues and accept this kind of fun side.”

Moments later, with the moon princess construct still hugging him; he felt the fabric appear on her breasts. He sighed in relief, breathing a bit, “Thanks.” He moved away from her, he opened his eyes to look to the construct, and instantly slammed his right hand onto his face to make a loud face-palm, covered his eyes, “OH COME ON!”

The moon princess construct wore a sexy red bikini, and the sun princess construct was wearing a yellow bikini.

Discord chuckled, “You wanted them to wear clothes, and we are inside a pool, so bikinis will do quite nicely. If you’re still on about, just don’t look at them.”

“Fine then,” Joseph said, slowly opened his eyes, and just look at the construct’s eyes. She only smiled happily towards him; he sighed and reached for the tray. Seeing the bowl of popcorn and a stone cup, he picked up the cup, confused look, “Where’s the drink?”

Discord chuckled, “Either drink from the hot cocoa pool itself, or have some nice, warm, fresh milk.” He grinned as he held the sun princess construct close to him, she giggled and smiled as she gotten attention.

Joseph groaned in annoyance, he pretty much walked right into that. Then after a moment, he suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at him as the draconequus fondle the sun princess construct’s bra covered breasts with his talon hand. “So you have a crush on Celestia, do you?” he asked, mainly looking up at Discord.

“On Sunbutt?” asked Discord, sounded surprised. Then he laughed, “Oh I don’t have romantic crush on her, I just like how big she looks. And look how big her fat plot is!” He took hold of the sun princess construct and raised her out of the hot chocolate pool.

Joseph blinked in surprise as Discord showed him of the sun princess construct’s big, fat, panties covered butt, watched as the warm chocolate drip down her thighs. The chocolate that was staining her coat was slowly coming off too.

The human blushed hard, and closed his eyes, “Forget calling her Sunbutt, she’s more of Thunder Thighs.”

Hearing that made Discord’s eyes widen, he let go of the construct, she yelped while falling into the hot chocolate pool while the draconequus laughed loudly. He held his gut with his eagle talon and lion paws, rocking a bit, splashing a bit as well.

“Oh sweet chaos!” laughed Discord, “I wish I called her that when I saw her, it would’ve been hilarious!” The sun princess construct slowly sat up, covered in chocolate and only smiled to Discord.

Joseph chuckled and shook his head, “So you don’t have a crush on her, like you say, but why do you have her here?”

“Oh just for my own little amusement,” Discord grinned. Then the remote reappear in his talon hand, “Now then, best get the show started.”

“Good, was wondering when it would start,” Joseph said, turning to look at the TV, raised his stone cup to himself, and dreamt up that it was filled with cold diet coke drink. Once he saw that it was filled with black soda, he smiled and took a sip of it.

“Now let’s get the fun started!” and the draconequus pointed the remote at the TV and clicked the button, the big flat screen came on and started to display a memory video.

Right after Discord left the stone statue in the crystal mines; he reappeared above what looks like a small village. He used his magic to do several things, turned the clouds into cotton candy and pours chocolate milk rain, popped every corn on the cornfield into big mounds of popcorn, enlarged all small red apples to the size of beach balls, and had bunny feet turn into deer legs.

And after all of that, he laughed and watched a certain group from where he was, and then teleported himself to somewhere else. He appeared in the corridors of stained glass windows, as part of the windows himself; he remained in place and waited.

After a while, soon seven anthro ponies walked into the corridors. The one leading the group was Princess Celestia herself, and she wore her white silk dress. And following behind her were a group of six ponies; they were Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.

Twilight Sparkle stood about five feet and two inches tall anthro unicorn mare. Her body is slender build, has a bit of muscles, and she has a pale, light grayish mulberry fur body, her mane was moderate sapphire blue with moderate violet and brilliant rose streaks, her long mane reaches to her lower back, and her tail is just as long. Her eyes are moderate violet, and the length of her horn was eight inches long. She wore a dark purple sleeveless shirt that mainly covers her C-cup size breasts, and connected to the front of her shirt, at the center was a medallion with a purple star in the middle, connected to it was a long dark blue cape, which nearly reached down to her hooves. She wore dark purple wrist-guards, and she has a dark purple belt with long black cloth hanging at the center front and her sides, and she wore dark purple hoof shoes. Barely exposed, on the side of her flanks shows a magenta-pink six pointed star with another white one behind it and surrounded by five mini white stars.

Applejack stood about five feet and six inches tall, and she’s an anthro earth pony mare. Her body is slender but muscular as well, and her coat is light orange, she has three freckles on each cheek, close to her emerald green eyes. Her mane and tail are blonde and tied into ponytails, the length of her mane reaches her lower back, and her tail is the same length. She wears a brown cowboy hat, and she wears a light rose and orange poncho which covers her D-cup size breasts, she wore brown worker gloves, and she wore a brown belt, blue jeans, and has dark brown moccasin boots. Stitched to the side of her jeans were three red apples, representing her cutie mark.

Rainbow Dash stands about five feet and two inches tall, and she’s an anthro pegasi mare. She is lean and is muscular, her body coat is sky blue and her messy mane and tail is rainbow-colored, her mane reaches her upper back and tail reaches the back of her hooves. She has magenta colored eyes, and she wore yellow sleeveless shirt which help covers her C-cup sized breasts, and she wore yellow wrist bands, black short pants, and brown hoof boots. Unlike all the others, she was hovering in the air for her wings flapped, keeping her in the air, her wingspan is six feet wide. Stitch to the left side of her sleeveless shirt is a symbol of her cutie mark, a cloud with a rainbow thunderbolt.

Rarity stands about five feet tall, and she’s an anthro unicorn mare. She is slender build; her body coat is silvery-white, almost like a marshmallow. She has long, violet blue wavy and curls mane and tail, and her eyes are blue, her mane reaches the back of her neck and side, and her tail was sticking out behind her. She wore a lovely pink dress with a golden necklace around her neck, also covered her D-Cup sized breasts, and a golden waistband, and below such is a long black and pink skirt, she wore black gloves, and golden hoof shoes. Her horn is six inches long, and on her golden necklace, waistband, and hoof shoes were cyan diamond in the center, which supposed to represent her three cyan diamonds cutie mark.

Pinkie Pie stood about four feet and ten inches tall, and she’s an anthro earth pony mare. She is lean but also slightly muscular; her body coat is bright pink, and her poof dark pin mane and tail, if her mane was added to the height she would be five feet and five inches tall, and she has light blue eyes. She wore a black tank top shirt that also covered her D-cup size breasts. She wore pink short pants, nothing on her hooves; her poof out tail was sticking out behind her. On the back of her shirt was a stitch in of three balloons, two blue balloons with yellow strings and one yellow balloon with a blue string, it representing her cutie mark.

And lastly there is Fluttershy, and she stood about four feet and seven inches tall, the smallest of the six mares, and she’s an anthro pegasi mare. She is slender and cute looking, her body coat is light yellow, and she has long pink mane and tail, the length of her mane reaches to her upper back. She has teal eyes and looked very shy-like, her wings were currently folded, but if spread out, it would about four feet wide. She wore a nature green silk dress, also covered her D-cup sized breasts. The long dress covered the front and the back of her hoofed legs, but her long tail showed from behind, and her cutie mark on her thighs showed, a cutie mark of three pink butterflies.

As the six mares followed the princess, Celestia was speaking, “I’ve called you here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine,” one of the mares, Fluttershy, had stopped as she saw a reflection of one of the stained windows on the floor, she moves over to check it. While Celestia continued speaking, “Someone I thought I, my sister, and the four Elemental Lords had defeated long ago; has returned. His name… is Discord.”

Fluttershy squealed in fright after seeing the image on the window, an image of the Discord in the middle, Celestia above him, Luna below, the Air Spirit in the top left corner, the Fire Spirit in the top right corner, the Water Spirit in the bottom left corner, and the Earth Spirit in the bottom right corner. She rushed to her friends, she hid behind Twilight Sparkle.

“Discord is the mischievous spirit of disharmony,” Celestia continued speaking. “Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness. Luna and I saw how miserable life was for the earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns alike, so with the Elemental Lords distracting, repelling, and trying to capture them, we discovered the Elements of Harmony; we combined our powers and rose up against him, turning him to stone.”

“All right, Princess!” Rainbow Dash cheered, and used her right hand to show thumbs up.

“I thought the spell we cast would keep him contained forever, but since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken.”

“No longer connected?” asked Twilight, looked confused.

Celestia led the group to a fancy looking vault door with a six circles and a sun in the middle with a hole in the middle, likely a lock. “This is Canterlot Tower, where the Elements are kept inside since all of you recovered them,” Celestia said as she turned to the mane six, looking serious. “I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again and stop Discord before he thrusts all of Equestria into eternal chaos.”

Twilight questioned, “But why us? Why don’t you-”

“Hey, look! We’re famous!” Pinkie interrupted, pointing her hand to one of the stained windows. It depicted of the six anthro ponies using the Elements of Harmony upon Nightmare Moon.

“You six showed the full potential of the Elements by harnessing the magic of your friendship to beat a mighty foe,” Celestia said, looking down to Twilight Sparkle. “Although Luna and I once wielded the Elements, it is you who now control their power.” She then stepped back and spread out her wings widely as she said lastly, “And it is you who must defeat Discord!”

After a moment, each mare look to each other, than Twilight thought for a moment before her expression became serious. She looked up to the princess, “Princess Celestia, you can count on-”

“Hold on a second!” Pinkie interrupted once more, sticking her left hand up for a second, trying to get everypony’s attention. She was looking at Twilight as she said, “Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys. Chocolate rain!”

Twilight looked to Celestia quickly and said, “Don’t listen to her, Princess. We’d be honored to use the Elements of Harmony again.”

Celestia smiled, than with her wings folded, she turned around and headed towards the vault door. Leaning down, she angled her long horn and inserts it into the sun lock in the center. Her horn then glowed with magic, and with that the lining of the sun radiated with her magic. She pulled out her horn, and stood tall, and they all watched as the whole vault door glowed brightly.

The mane six were watching with looks of amazement, while Celestia was grinning. The door then slowly opened, revealing inside a glowing room with a pedestal in the middle, on top of which rests a blue treasure chest with a golden lock and encrusted in shiny gems.

Before any of them could do anything, time seem to just froze in place. Each of the anthro ponies stuck at where they stood, still like statues, but not stone.

Then in a flash of light, the twelve feet tall draconequus appeared at the doors to the vault. He grinned and was humming a cheerful tune, and with a snap of his eagle talon, a basket appeared on his arm. He walked into the vault, open the chest which revealed to not be locked. And within were the six Elements of Harmony, each gem part of golden jewellery. Still humming, he took each one and placed them into his basket.

Once all six elements were inside, he closed the chest shut. Then he step out of the vault, still humming, and with both hands, he gripped the basket, and then started to crush it up, mushing it around like he was playing with clay. After a moment, he soon made it look like an actual book.

With that, and a flash of magic, a book suddenly appeared to his right, the real copy. He grinned and teleported the fake book that contained the Elements of Harmony away, and then took holds of the original copy. After a moment of deciding, he just opens his mouth and chuck the book inside. He made a noise that sounded like a paper shredder machine. After the sound ended, he closed his mouth and chewed it up, and then gulped it down.

He smiled and then went back to his position, reappearing on the window and posed, waited. And with that, time resumed.

Rarity was the first one to speak as she looks at the chest, “Ooh. You can keep the Elements. I’ll take that case!”

“Have no fear, ponies,” Celestia said and her horn glowed with magic and she levitated the chest right out and over to the mane six. “I have total confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord with these!”

The moment she opened, it revealed that it was empty. All six ponies gasped in shock, and Celestia dropped the case after discovering the chest was empty.

As they all gawked at the empty chest in shock, Rainbow Dash stopped flapping her wings and landed on her hooves, Pinkie Pie was the first to talk, she smiled as she skipped away, “Oh well. If anyone needs me, I’ll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a giant swizzle straw.” But she didn’t make it out the door when they were snapped shut by one of the ponies’ magic, she awed in annoyance and return to her group of friends.

Celestia was starting to pace around a bit, the mane six still gawking, well Pinkie wasn’t, and she was just waiting. Finally, Twilight spoke, “The Elements! They’re gone!”

Celestia looked very confused, she was pacing around in a circle, arms crossed and pressed against her covered breasts as she think. “That chamber is protected by a powerful spell that only I can break! This doesn’t make sense!”

Sounds of laughter echo through the room, Celestia halted and looked upwards with annoyance. Then they all heard.

“Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?”

“Discord… Show yourself!” Celestia demanded, looking around, trying to see where he was.

Sounds of chuckling, than his voice was heard, “Did you miss me, Celestia?” and with a flash, on the stained window depicting the draconequus controlling three ponies like puppets, he started to move. He grinned and looked towards her, “I missed you. It’s quite lonely being encased in stone, but you wouldn’t know that, would you, because I don’t turn beings into stone.”

“Enough!” Celestia demanded, now glaring at the draconequus on the window. “What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?”

“Oh, I just borrowed them for a teensy little while,” he replied like it wasn’t important. Then he snapped his lion paw fingers, causing the image on the window of the Elements vanish from sight.

“You’ll never get away with this, Discord!”

“Oh, I’d forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia. It’s really quite boring.”

“Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!” yelled Rainbow Dash and she flew through the air, heading right at the stained window.

She clearly forgot that it was a stain window, so she deserved the smack she gotten when she hit it face first. After peeling herself off it, the stain-glassed Discord enlarged himself on the window.

“Oh, you must be Rainbow Dash, famed for her loyalty, the Element of Harmony you represent.”

Glaring at him, she said, “That’s right! I’ll always be loyal to the Princess!” She blinked in surprised for a moment after Discord had vanished.

But his voice echoed, “We’ll see about that.”

“I can’t believe we’re wasting our time talking to a tacky window,” Rarity said, her snout raised in the air and eyes closed, trying to look regal-like, showing that she didn’t like the draconequus.

Discord appeared in the window closes to Rarity and he said, “The beautiful Rarity, representing the element of generosity, if I’m not mistaken?”

Applejack walked over, frowning at him. “So you know who we are, big deal.”

“Oh, I know much more than that, honest Applejack.”

“You seem to know our strengths too,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes, Twilight Sparkle, and yours the most powerful and elusive element, magic,” Discord stated, pointing at her while in a sitting position in the stain window, “Fluttershy’s is kindness and Pinkie Pie’s is a personal favorite of mine, laughter.” He then laughed out, while the ponies started to hear snickering from Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie!” said Twilight as she looked to her friend.

Losing her control, moving her right hand away from her mouth, she laughed, “He’s standing on your head!” And currently, Discord was dancing in the stain window, scuffling his feet on the image of Twilight Sparkle.

While Pinkie laughed, Celestia demanded, “Stop stalling Discord!” Pinkie shut her mouth to be silent and all the ponies looked at the stain-glassed draconequus. “What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?”

“Oh, so boring, Celestia. Really?” said Discord, rolled his eyes at such. “Fine, I’ll tell you, but I’ll only tell you my way.” Then he started to move around through the glass windows, “To retrieve your missing Elements, just make sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan, than find the Elements back where you began.” And he went back to the stain window where he hid, and with a flash, his laughter echo as he left the room, the stain glass of himself back in its original place.

Fluttershy looked scared, covered her face a bit with her pink mane, “Can we go home now?”

Applejack looked to Twilight, asking her, “What do you reckon he meant? Twists and turns and ending back where we started?”

“Twists and turns… twists and turns…” Twilight asked to herself, thinking of what the answer to the riddle was. She moved around, eventually stood by one of the clear windows and saw the outside. The moment her eyes saw the hedge maze outside, she realised, “Twists and turns! That’s it! I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace labyrinth!”

Celestia nodded a little after hearing such, than she looks to them all while saying, “Good luck, my little ponies. The fate of Equestria is in your hands.”

“Thanks, Princess,” Twilight looked up to her with determination in her eyes. “We won’t let you down.” Then she and her friends turned and ran off, leaving the corridors together.

“So those are the Mane Six, eh?” asked the human, taking a sip from his cup of diet coke while watching the TV. He, Discord, and the two princess constructs were still sitting together in a pool of hot cocoa that was once the hot spring in this dream world. “Certainly a colorful bunch, especially the clothes they wear. Do they wear the same clothes all the time?”

“Doubt that, but besides, you and your brothers where your armors all the time, so you can’t really complain,” Discord chuckled, had finished his popcorn bowl while the sun princess construct was massaging his back.

“Not all the time,” Joseph replied, imagining more diet coke appearing in his cup before taking another sip. “It’s just the populace across the land expects us to just appear in our armors, like knights in shining armor, gets very boring by the way. Personally, I like to take a nap while sunbathing in the northern arctic.”

“Ooh, sounds cold,” Discord crossed his arms and his body turned to blue and pretended to shiver. He chuckles after, returning to his normal color.

“What? I’m fond of the cool snow, just wanting to lie in it all day and think about things in the calm and quiet.”

“Sounds boring,” Discord rolled his eyes, he moved his back a bit so to have the sun princess construct massage his lower back. “But anyways, would you agree on Twilight’s choice, believing the elements would be there?”

The human turned to him instead of taking another sip, “Even if I didn’t saw your little memory of you freezing time and snatching the elements and put them in a fake book, the maze wouldn’t been my first choice.” Then he took a sip, after gulping down some, “Speaking from experience, Discord, me and my brothers chased after you for months-”

“Which the mane six broke your record,” Discord chuckled.

Joseph rolled his eyes, “Laugh it up, the point was, that twists and turns is what you did to me and my brothers, leading us to dead ends and prank traps.”

“But not once did I manage to get you guys to split up,” Discord stated as he looked down to him. “I had been hoping to get some of you separate and talk to each of you.”

“And the reason for why we never split up with you around was because you could easily obliterate us.”

“What?” asked Discord, sounded very surprised, he looked to the human and saw him with a serious expression. “You’re joking right? You and your brothers are powerful.”

“Only when we are together,” Joseph said, setting his cup onto the floating tray, than he crossed his arms. He had his eyes shut as he talked, “We were called the Spirits of Order, but like there is a balance in the world, like you or your predecessor before you. Before me and my brothers, there was once just a single Spirit of Order. The reason for me and my brothers being called Spirits of Order is because we each have about a quarter of orderly power in all of us.”

He turned to look up to Discord, “You weren’t split into different individuals, you were the only one who gain the immense power of chaos.”

Discord looked speechless at such, and then became confused, “But still, it felt like you guys were holding back.”

“It’s because we were,” the human said. “Each of us controls a certain part of nature, hence why I control the air. I could’ve just head straight to you in a sonic boom or brought forth tornadoes upon you, and my brothers could’ve done their own techniques as well. Want to know why we didn’t?”

“Why?”

“It’s because we knew you, well mainly because I did and I convinced my brothers to not harm. Despite the fact that you turned parts of Equestria into a place of chaos, and misery to the ponies, we had learned your reason why, and first want to negotiate with you peacefully.”

Discord sighed as he looked away, “And I just kept running away, because I thought you and your brothers would send me to Tartarus, like you did with Tirek and other monsters. I tried to separate you four with traps, just so I could talk to you or Gary; you both are more understanding than the others.” He turned to look at the human, a bit of a sad expression. “If I wasn’t running, then it would’ve…”

“No talk on that, let’s just say all is in the past, alright?” Joseph asked, showed a small smile. “After all, you didn’t know we want to talk peacefully with you, and we didn’t know you were trying to separate us just to talk to the sensible ones.”

The draconequus sighed, “Yeah, true.” Then he turned to him, “So then, you and your brothers knew why I attacked the ponies first?”

“Your target wasn’t the ponies themselves, it was your father,” Joseph said, and Discord growled a bit.

“You guessed right,” Discord growled. “I tried to make him pay for what he did to me, what he had done to my mother. But I couldn’t find him anywhere.”

“It is because that he was already sentence to the hellish pits of Tartarus,” Joseph said, still looking up to Discord.

The draconequus looked surprised for a moment; then he frowned a bit, “Wish I knew that. When I went to the village, most ponies fled and the guards attacked me, I had thought they were sent by him to capture me or something, or maybe some kind of bounty on my head. They labelled me as a monster from the beginning.”

“And in came the idea of turning the pony lands into a Chaos Kingdom?”

“Yep,” Discord nodded, looking away for a moment. “But anyways, hope that bastard of a pony is still stuck there.”

“I did say hellish pits of Tartarus, there are different areas in that land that are designed for prisoners who are banished there,” Joseph stated. “Justice was served.”

Discord smiled a bit, “Good.” Then he became serious and looked directly towards the human, “But, if that pony ever gets out of Tartarus, than I want him, no preventions from others.”

Joseph lean his back a bit, “Fine with me, just depends if he even manages to escape from there. And depending if you’re free by then too,” looking at Discord in the eyes.

“Good,” Discord said, than he smiled and took hold of the human with his arms and pulled him over into a hug. “Now come over here, we still got more to watch!”

The human was placed onto Discord’s lap, being gripped, he asked, “Why not have your construct to cuddle with?”

“She’s too busy massaging my back and the Moonbutt is working on my tail. Besides, I want to cuddle a real being,” Discord grinned as he held him close with lion arm. He uses his eagle talon hand and took his stone cup to scoop hot chocolate from the pool and drank.

Joseph shrugged and reached and took hold of his cup from his tray and drank diet coke, “Well there’s no wrong with that.”

They both watched the TV, seeing that as the memory of Discord’s play out. It showed the mane six rushing to the entrance of the maze, and Joseph had noticed the one, Twilight Sparkle, had said something to her friends.

“Did she just say ‘everypony’ instead of ‘everyone’?” asked Joseph, right eyebrow raised in confusion and a frown.

“She’s not the only one, all the ponies of today say that,” Discord stated, wasn’t really bothered by the question.

The human frowned, “Are the ponies of today specists?”

“Uh… specists?” asked Discord, likely didn’t heard that word.

“It’s like the word racist, but centralized on dislikes of non-pony races. Belief that their own kind is the perfect race in the world, while they view all the others they believe are weak and inferior.”

Discord listened, and frown a bit, “Ponies are generally afraid of the unknown, changes, hence why they’re so boring too. And I do believe that long ago, from listening to them, that Celestia was the one who thought of that ‘everypony’ thing, mainly just to unite all the ponies into one nation, Equestria.”

“But do the ponies of today hate other races? Because if they did, they’re pretty much screwing themselves,” Joseph said in a serious tone. “There are more than the ponies in this whole wide world, heck, what about the unifications?"

“Things change over a thousand years, Joey boy,” Discord said, patting his head with his lion paw hand. “Besides, it’s mostly the unicorns in Canterlot who act like that; those stuffy nobles are even like that towards other earth ponies and pegasi. Then of course, there were a few ponies who abused a baby dragon.”

“What?!” asked Joseph, looking up at him in surprise.

“Oh just watch and you’ll see what I mean,” Discord replied, nodding his head towards the television, while mentally face-palming himself, for forgetting that Joseph loves dragons.

“Fine then,” he said, now looking to the screen with a serious expression, waiting.

As it goes on, it showed in Discord’s memory that he removed the unicorn’s horns and pegasi wings. Then he stated rules, such as no magic and no flight, and rule two is that everypony had to play, or if they didn’t, he wins.

“Smart,” Joseph said, watching as the six anthro ponies step in, and then maze hedges grow between each of them.

“Oh I know,” Discord grinned after taking a sip from his hot cocoa. “Separating them proved way easier than you and your brothers.”

“Not that, the rules,” Joseph stated, Discord looks down to him. “You exploited on their word, ‘everypony’. You are a draconequus, not a pony like them. So in a sense, if you were flying around and using magic in the maze, you weren’t cheating.”

Discord laughed, “Ah yes, that one. It was very helpful to me in the games.” He smiled widely, glad that the human noticed.

Then in came the scene of Discord moving apples, leading Applejack to some part within the hedge maze, and then used three groups of colored apples like puppets, and then said a few lies, getting the earth pony to believe into him, and fall for the hidden trap, hypnosis. Applejack became Liar Jack.

Discord sweated a bit, looking down at the human, knowing that Joseph and his brothers hate mind control magic.

And it showed the same way with Pinkie Pie, using balloons and laughs of children. Tricking Pinkie into believing she was being laughed at, and with hypnosis on her, she became Angry Pie. Next up happened to Rarity, tricking her in seeing a giant diamond, which was really a boulder, she looked like she was denying it, until she greedily accepted it; in the end she became Greedity. Then next was Fluttershy, led away with three butterflies that Discord took a form of, and started to try to trick her. At first it looked Fluttershy was going to win, until she was slowly slipping into believing Discord’s lies, in the end she got hypnotized and became Flutter Cruel.

Discord was mainly watching Joseph, who still watched the screen, the only thing that showed any change of expression was his right eyebrow raised up after witnessing Flutter Cruel.

Next on screen was Rainbow Dash, followed a cloud bursting with rainbow lightning, it leaded to where Discord was. He tricked her that Cloudsdale was falling apart; she listened and showed that her loyalties were towards her home, not her friends. She accepted the wings after getting hypnotized, she became Traitor Dash. And with that, she flew away, thus ending the game.

The hedges went down into the ground, the maze being removed; all that’s left was a crater. Twilight Sparkle looked shocked of the fact that the elements weren’t in the maze. Discord returned the horns and wings, and then summoned a couch and ate popcorn, watching Twilight’s friends arguing. Then after a moment, he showed Twilight Sparkle of the past event, reminding her of the riddle.

“Well?” asked Discord, looking down at the human on his lap.

“Well what?”

“Aren’t you mad?”

“Why should I be mad?” Joseph asked, sounding confused as he turned to look up at the draconequus.

“Well I did hypnotize those ponies, and you and your brothers hate those mind spells,” Discord stated.

The human sighed and shook his head, “If hypnosis was just like mind control, than I would’ve ended up arresting the nagas, changelings, and any other races who uses hypnotism, even ponies who has hypnosis cutie marks.” He looked back at Discord, “There’s a difference between hypnotism and mind control.”

“There is?” he asked, sounded surprised.

“Yep, with hypnosis, which can be used to help others, such as hypnotherapy, or just for show,” Joseph stated. “You’re not controlling them against their will; they accepted your lies in the first place. Celestia had warned them with her talking to them before, and still they believed you, despite you in different forms or controlling apple puppets.” After a moment, “And as for mind control, there are some different methods among mind control, but the kind that me and my brothers hate most, are ones controlling others against their wills. Things like the millennium rod and the imperio curse spell, turning people into actual puppets and forced to do things that they don’t really want to do, and even, controlling their minds, basically mind raping people and make them into slaves.”

“Huh,” Discord said, stroking his goat beard with his eagle talon, thinking about it. “So hypnosis is alright then?”

“It is fine, but it looks like ponies view hypnosis as mind controls as well,” Joseph said with a frown. “Let me guess, after all that, those five ponies believed you mind controlled them,” and Discord nodded, “figures.”

“Oh,” Discord said, he smiled, “so then…”

“Don’t bother,” Joseph quickly said while just looking at the TV. “Hypnosis doesn’t work on me, otherwise the ones who tried to do it to be in the past had managed to capture me for several reasons. Nagas use hypnosis to make their prey willing to be swallowed alive, changelings use hypnosis to have their prey willingly feed them their emotions.”

“Darn,” Discord said playfully, he chuckled and they both went back to watching the TV.

Next few things that happened were that Discord changed the ground to look like a purple checker board pattern. And had many small floating islands, with either just trees or with buildings, and the town hall was floating upside down in the middle of Ponyville. Then the hilarious scene of Twilight Sparkle get trampled on by the galloping herd of deer-legged rabbits, mainly because she wasn’t keeping her eyes on the road.

Discord laughed at that while Joseph only shook his head. Then on screen, the next thing that happened was the day quickly turned into night so fast, in only a matter of seconds.

“I’m glad that I wasn’t out there when you spin the whole planet just to do that,” the human said as he shook his head a bit. “Back then, everyone didn’t notice how me and my brothers felt, but we got sick of it, as well as major headaches.” Discord chuckled at that.

Next on TV showed that the roads became covered in soap suds, and eventually, once the group reached the library, along with ‘Tom’. Twilight getting more agitated of her friends, or more like ex-friends, and soon they discovered the Elements of Harmony were in the book.

“Is that the baby dragon you mention?” Joseph asked, seeing the baby dragon on screen, now known as Spike. Spike stood about one foot and six inches tall, standing on feet and had a little chubby belly. He has purple scales and peachy yellow underbelly scales, and he has green spiny spikes from the top of his forehead that goes down along his spine and to the point of his spaded tail. He has light green fin-like horns on the side of his head, and he has emerald green eyes.

“Yep, that’s him,” Discord nodded.

“Why is a baby draconian living with ponies?”

“Don’t know, but keep watching, you’ll be surprised on what happens later,” Discord said with a grin, taking a sip from his cup.

Then in came the part where Twilight tried to use the elements on Discord, and had failed. She ended up despising her friends, and slowly, without anything from Discord, she turned into Depresso Sparkle. Spike headed back to the library while Sparkle walked home slowly in a de press state. And while so showed buffalo ballerina, pies floating upwards, and an anthro earth pony mare get covered in pepper from a giant pepper shaker, sneezed and fake buildings fall down, and a few houses made of cards, and lastly, a throne on top of a checker pattern hill.

As this happened, Joseph looked up to Discord, “Congratulations Discord, you had defeated that group of Element Wielders. So who’s the new group that turned you to stone?”

Discord looked a bit surprised down at the human, then he said, “Just keep watching Joseph, soon you’ll see.”

The next scene just shocked the spirit of order, as he watched the baby dragon writhed in agony as he burps out green magic flame and out came scrolls of messages. Sure it seems to help Twilight Sparkle in remembering what it’s like in the good ole days of being with her friends. But from all that... Spike was in the most of pain of it.

“Not only the fact that Spike appears to have magical flame which only wyrms have, but Celestia was hurting him by sending messages after messages?” asked Joseph, still shocked of it.

“Oh I know, and I saw that happen when I took a peek through a window. After that, I decided to pay a visit to Canterlot,” Discord said. “But first, I watched Twilight go do something. Something you’re going to hate.”

“And what’s that?”

“Watch,” Discord said with a small smile, cuddling the human close.

The scene changed to show an apple farm, pigs flew by with wings. An anthro earth pony stallion acting like a dog, an old mare dancing, and Applejack chewing and then opened her mouth to an apple core, and half of it appeared.

The next part showed a scene of Twilight Sparkle talking to Liar Jack, than struggling around as Twilight restrained her, and then with the power of her magic on the struggling anthro earth pony, forces her will upon her. Sure it helped Applejack remember old memories, but, it was still mind control. The way how Twilight Sparkle return to normal was thanks to her mentor sending her old messages, memories help of course. But she was forcing them when they didn’t want it in the first place.

The spirit of order was glaring, “She may have been helping her remember old memories of friendship, but there were better methods other than mind rape.” He slowly looked up to the draconequus, “Did she do this to the rest?”

“Yep, but you did say there were types of mind control, right? So what she did was a good kind or a bad kind?” asked Discord, feeling curious.

“Twilight did not turn them into mind slaves, just help them remember memories,” Joseph said, frowning as he crossed his arms, glaring at the anthro unicorn on the television screen. “But I also remember my own experience of such when one of the older generation of alicorns tried to control me, it felt painful, luckily I won, but it was still mind rape.” Starting to relax a bit, “But for now, it looked like she only did it to help her friends, so I’ll give her a pass on that. But if she does mind control magic, than she will be judged.” Then just rest his head on his right hand, “Depending if I’m free by then.”

Discord frowned and crossed his arms, “So she lucked out.” Then he lightly chuckled, “Besides watching them get ‘fixed’, let’s watch what I did in Canterlot.”

And with that, the remote appeared in his talon hand and about to press a button to change the channel.

“Wait a second? If you were in two different places how come you didn’t try to prevent them from doing that?”

Discord chuckled, “I merely made a small duplicate of myself and watch from the background. When I returned to my throne in Ponyville, my copy return to me, and while I was checking his memories, I was interrupted.” Then pointed his remote, “Now then, let’s watch Canterlot in Chaos!” He laughed and pressed a button.

In the old statue gardens that stood close by to the large crater where the hedge maze once stood. Discord appeared, he snickered a bit, his talon and paw fingers tapping each other, already having plans for Canterlot.

“With her and all those ponies busy in that little town, I will pay my favorite princess a visit, maybe make her feel the same thing that little guy felt, as well as make her more like a puppy,” he grinned, chuckled a bit.

And just as he was about to step forward, he was suddenly surrounded by a magenta colored aura of a barrier. His feet still on the ground, but he was surrounded by a sphere of magic.

“What’s this?” he asked himself quietly, then he noticed that he wasn’t alone.

Throughout the area, surrounded him trapped state were the Royal Guards. Each one wore golden torso armor, shoulder pads, and golden armored gauntlets with red gloves, a red belt around their waist and golden fauld and as well as golden leg guards and hoof shoes. On the center of their torso armor and center of the fauld was a blue star. Underneath their golden are was blue silk clothes, which showed at the biceps and thighs. They each also wore a helmet with a mane slot. And three things that each royal guard here had in common…

They each have white coats, their manes and tail are blue, and their eyes are light blue. The stallions stood about between five feet and four inches to five feet and eight inches tall, while the mares stood between five feet to five feet and five inches tall. The stallions are a bit more muscular than the mares, but the mares were more slender build. And for the pegasi, the stallions’ wings were about eight feet wide, while the mares’ wings were about six-seven feet wide. The horns of the unicorns various between four to six inches.

And from a quick count, there were about eighty earth ponies, sixty pegasi, and twenty unicorns among the royal guards. The groups of pegasi flying above in the air, glaring down at the draconequus, each one holding either a spear or a crossbow. The earth ponies carried a short sword and shield or a claymore. And the unicorns, their horns are glowing, ready to use offensive spells.

And lastly, the leader of the group of the royal guards, the captain, he stood about five feet and eight inches tall. He is an anthro unicorn stallion, and his armor was different from the rest. He wore purple torso armor and left shoulder pad, a golden right shoulder pad with a red cloak connected, it covered his right arm. He wore a golden gauntlet with dark blue glove, and around his waist is a brown belt with purple fauld in the middle and golden fauld-sides, and he wore golden leg-guards. He wore no horse shoes on his hooves, but their dark blue. He wore a helmet that allows the mane of his to stick out like a Mohawk, his mane and tail is dark and light blue, and his body coat was white. His horn is six inches long, and his eyes are moderate cerulean, and on the center of his torso armor was a symbol of a shield with a magenta six-pointed star. And currently, his horn was glows a magenta aura; he was the one who put the barrier spell around the draconequus.

This pony was glaring at the trapped draconequus, “I won’t let you anywhere near her Highness!”

Instead of looking annoyed for the interruption, Discord smiled and laughed. After a moment, he looked down at the unicorn who held the barrier, “And who do we have here? Is it a captain of the royal guard, or maybe a knight? I would’ve thought that Celestia told you all to stay out of my way. After all, there is not like anything that any of you can do to stop me.” He grinned, looking at the one who casted the barrier spell, than his eyes angle towards all the royal guards that stood at the attention, ready just in case if the spirit of chaos breaks free.

“A true royal guard never abandon his post,” said the leader, glaring at Discord. “We will protect our Princess from you. Besides, nopony could get through my shield if I don’t want them too.”

“Oh blah-blah, let me guess,” Discord said in a playful tone. “Your special talent is uh… protecting others or such nonsense, am I right? How many ponies do you think will return that favor?”

“Your mind games aren’t going to work on me.”

“Games?” chuckled Discord, smirking. “Oh that would imply if I had a chance of losing. Now tell me pony… that crest on your armor looks very familiar. You wouldn’t happen to be acquainted with Twilight Sparkle, would you?”

“Twily…” whispered the captain.

“Twily?” Discord asked in surprised, and then he laughed once more. “Oh with a nickname like that, you must be some sort of relative, or maybe a boyfriend.”

The captain only glared at the draconequus.

“Oh come now, don’t be like that,” Discord said with a grin. “The more time you spend talking with me, the longer I’m distracted from Celestia and Twily. Isn’t that what you want? Now come on, how do you know Twilight Sparkle? Or, do you rather I go and ask her myself?”

Deciding to humor the draconequus, believing that the monster was trapped in his barrier, the captain spoke, “I’m her brother.”

“Her brother?” asked Discord, than he nodded a little. “Well that would explain it, now pony-”

“Shining Armor,” stated the captain, telling his name.

Discord laughed, “Right on first name bases now are we? We’re already making some progress.”

“Just keep talking, monster,” Shining said with a glare.

“Oh don’t be like that; Shiny,” Discord chuckled a bit, “I’m sure Celestia has told you my name, unless she hasn’t?” Shining only glared and a small growl, this made Discord laughed a bit more. “How funny, Princess Celestia sends her prized pupil to battle me, and she didn’t even think to warn her precious older brother? And all of her guards too? That’s rather cold for a sun princess, would you say?”

Shining glared and grinded his teeth a little, “She told me your name, Discord.”

“There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” asked the draconequus, crossed his arms and smiling down at the captain. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Shining Armor. Now, how about you lower that shield of yours?”

“No.”

“No?” asked Discord, sounded a bit surprised. “Now Shining Armor, don’t you think that is a little unreasonable? Princess Celestia sends a group of mares to try and defeat the very embodiment of chaos, while she hides away in her tower, now does that sound fair to you?”

“I trust the princess, she know what’s right.”

Discord groaned with a frown, “Ugh, how boring, come on lower the shield.”

“No.”

“I’ll give you a cake or a pie or a…” Discord said, thinking of options to give to the captain so the unicorn could release him from the barrier. “What do you ponies like nowadays?”

“I won’t lower this shield, not for anything.”

“Anything?” asked Discord, suddenly grinning. “What about the safety of your little sister?”

“What?” asked Shining, while the royal guards tensed a bit; they know how much Shining Armor cares about his sister.

“Let’s assume Twilight and her friends somehow are able to stop me and turn everything back to the normal way it used to be?” Discord said while stroking his little beard with his talon hand. “Then what’s the harm, you could let me through and nopony would ever know. Even your fellow guards would never remember this moment, with a little chaos magic. But what about if or rather when I win, wouldn’t you want something to keep your little sister, your little Twily safe?”

After a silent moment, Shining was thinking, and then he looked a bit worried. “You promise she wouldn’t be hurt?” This caused almost all the royal guards with Shining Armor looked at him in shock, while some could understand since Shining wants to keep his sister safe.

“You have my word,” Discord grinned, giving a small bow.

After a moment of silence, Shining could feel his fellow comrades looking to him, they silently plead for him to not take the deal from the manipulator. After a moment, he spoke, “I… No! I trust Twilight, she’s stronger than you give her credit for, and she will stop you.”

Most of the guards grinned and some nodded, glad that their captain didn’t fall for the trick.

Discord sighed, “Well then, I might as well say congratulations, for you’re the only one so far to ignore my deals over a thousand years. Only four beings had ever managed to ignore my deals.”

With Discord trapped in his spell, Shining decided to do a bit of interrogation. “And who were those four?”

“Take a wild guess,” Discord said with a frown, crossing his arms. “Besides all those pony statues here, there are four that stand out.”

After a moment, Shining Armor realized on whom Discord meant, “The Legendary Defenders of Harmony.”

“What?” asked the surprised draconequus, “I had heard many titles of them, but that’s a new one for me to hear, must be a new one you ponies think up.”

Shining smirked, “Well then, you should count yourself lucky. I and my comrades had trained ourselves in the secret arts of those great beings. We will throttle you if you somehow get free, which you won’t be.”

Discord grinned, looking down at him through the barrier, “Oh really? I know them best, and I know what they’re capable of. So if you all truly think you know their secrets of combat, than how about you face them instead.”

“Okay, you obviously don’t know, but they’re not around anymore.”

Discord chuckled, “Oh I didn’t mean them truly; I just meant them.” Seeing their confused looks, instead of stating what he means, he reached up and plucked his blue goat horn and held it like a wand. He pointed it upwards and spoke clearly, “Piertotum Locomotor.”

He grinned and put his horn back, while all the royal guard only looked confused. Shining Armor spoke out, “What was with the gibber…”

“GAH!” yelled one of his comrades close by, all the troops turned and saw one of the earth ponies just got punched hard, his torso armor dented with the blow. And he was punched by the stone statue of the Spirit of Earth.

“…ish?” Shining finished his question while the other guards witnessed the other three statues were moving.

The stone statue of the Spirit of Water leaped from his pedestal and onto several royal guards, and started to pummel them, damaging their armors and grabbed one guard and throwing them into another.

The statue of the Fire Spirit jumped down from his pedestal and attacked the closes guards. He attacked the closes unicorns, slamming his stone fists into their guts and tripping them with low sweep of kicks, and then grabbed two and slammed their heads together.

And the statue of the Air Spirit didn’t just jumped from his pedestal, but leaped high, heading and tackling into one of the flying pegasus. After tackling and with quick reflex, push off and leaped over to another and kicked the other pegasi guard with a jump kick. And with that, he leaped off of that guard after the kick and went for the next one.

And the previous statue of the earth spirit was just bulldozing through several. All the guards retaliated after stopped looking shocked, and they tried to stop the statues. But it looked like the statues had their own form of enchantments, likely given by Discord himself when he said those gibberish words.

For magic blast that unicorns fired at the statues just bounced off and slammed into another guard, or reflected right back. Their weapons break when they tried to slash at the arms or legs or like magic, the arrows from their crossbows bounced off and hit others; rather pointless when one thinks about it, their new foes are stone statues. Earth ponies tried to use their own strength break the statues apart, but they didn’t shatter and only damaged their fists or dented their hoof shoes.

It was chaos; four statues were taking down large numbers of the royal guards. Discord was chuckling, for he was protected by Shining’s barrier when many guards that were thrown were slammed face first in the shields, and pegasi who fell had bounced off.

Shining was shocked, and remembering this was caused by Discord, he turned and glared at the trapped draconequus. “You monster!” yelled Shining, focusing his magic to shrink the shield, plan to crush the trapped spirit, “how dare you use them for your own gain?!” Shining had viewed those legendary warriors as heroes, most members in the royal guards did.

“Those are just statues, they’re not real,” Discord smirked, than he raised his lion paw hand, stick out a finger and just poked the barrier wall. It popped like a bubble.

“What?!” yelled Shining in shock, “How did you…?”

Discord smirked as he started to float in the air, hovering in place while his wings flapped. “What? You thought that flimsy shield can stop me? I could’ve gone pass that anytime I wanted.”

Looking at the draconequus in disbelief, he stuttered, “That’s impossible! Nopony can…”

“Nopony,” Discord said with a grinned widely, and Shining Armor’s eyes widen in shock while realizing his mistake. “Now then, time for me to go. Oh and best watch out Shiny, you’re about get double KO, toodles!” And with a flash of his magic, he had teleported himself away, temporarily blinding the captain.

Momentarily blinded, once Shining Armor could see, he saw the statue of the Fire Spirit in front of him and delivered a haymaker punch. It slammed right into Shining’s snout, sending him backwards. And while he went, he saw the second statue, the Air Spirit, dropping down upon him with a diving kick. The moment it struck his chest, slamming hard into the ground, Shining was greeted by the blackness as he became unconscious.

Both spirits continued to watch the TV, still sitting in the hot pool of cocoa, and the two princesses constructs sitting close to the duo, they wanting attention. Joseph was no longer sitting on Discord’s lap; he is sitting about a few feet away from the draconequus. After watching the encounter with Shining Armor, which Joseph looked surprised about.

After a moment, he asked, “The statues, did you enchanted them before using that spell?”

Discord chuckled, “Nope, not me. In fact, those spells were placed there by Luna herself, her magic residue were part of them. Most likely she didn’t want them to be destroyed, don’t know why though.” He shrugs as he drank another cup of hot chocolate.

“Anyways,” Joseph said as he held his stone cup of diet coke, taking a sip. “I now wonder what other lies that Celestia told to her ponies, because that title ‘Legendary Defender of Harmony’ is a new one to me.” He shrugged after, and relaxed, the moon princess construct moved closer to him. “Besides all that, why were you going to the castle for anyways?”

“Besides causing chaos, I wanted to check Thunder Thigh’s vaults,” Discord grinned, snickered after saying the new nickname of the sun princess. “I thought, what if there was a possibility that one of your brothers was in Canterlot.” He sighed, “Sadly, none of them were. I couldn’t find them anywhere, nor could I sense them.”

Joseph sighed, looking down a bit. “It’s alright; you did your best, thank you for trying anyways.”

Discord reached over with his right lion arm and took hold, hugging him, trying to comfort the human. “We’ll find them, Joseph. Someway, somehow, they will be found, and you four can be together again.”

“I just hope they’re alright,” Joseph said, smiled a little. “But yeah, one day, if or when I do get free,” he turned to look at Discord, “I will get you free.”

Blinked in surprised, Discord asked, “You will?”

“I will try, you deserve to be free just like I am,” Joseph said with a nod. “No matter how difficult it will be, I will find a way.”

Discord smiled to him, “Thanks, till then, we could still spend time together in dreams.”

“That’s true,” the human nodded, Discord let go of him. “But eventually things will get boring at times”

The draconequus grinned, “Oh don’t you worry about that; I got a few things covered.” Joseph turned to him with a look of confusion; Discord nodded his head towards the TV, silently telling him to watch.

Return to watch the big screen TV, they saw of Discord encountering Celestia, and had quickly disabled her by making her horns and wings vanished, hypnotised her to act more like a pig and trapped her in a giant chocolate cake, she was oinking while eating too. Discord had been holding Celestia’s horn in his talon hand, since it was a key for certain locks. Then Discord went and see the moon princess, discovered she was deeply asleep; still, Discord decided to be kind enough to just put earmuffs on her ears so she would sleep all day.

Then he headed to one of the secret vault, a safe within Celestia’s very bedroom. He teleported there and went to her closet, and threw out clothes before she reached a vault door with a solar sun lock, just like the same vault doors for the elements in the tower. He pushed in Celestia’s horn and made the horn radiate with a golden aura of Celestia’s magic.

With that, the locked vault doors opened wide, and Discord was greeted with several of items within. And it only had like jewellery, old clothes, a secret cake stash in an ice box, and few objects and gifts given to her from friends. There was also a portrait in the back, of her family and friends.

As it seem like he didn’t found any interesting items, Discord was about to leave the vault, until he notice a small stone item on a shelf. A hexagon-shaped talisman, he reached over and plucked it from the shelf. In the view, it showed the symbol of a sheep.

After a moment of checking it, Discord grinned and opened his mouth and chucked it in, and he gulped it down.

To the viewers who were still watching the TV, the human was staring at the draconequus in wide eyed shock.

Discord snickered a bit, “Does that tell you something, Joey boy?”

“You found and ate the Sheep Talisman of Astral Projection?” asked Joseph, still shocked after learning that. Slowly looking away, still surprised, “No wonder how you got in my dream so easily.”

“Yep,” Discord chuckled. “I remembered Albertis talked about those talismans, and that the sheep allows the wielder to leave the body, move around like a ghost and enter other person’s dreams.” He grinned, “And with it currently inside my tummy,” he emphasized that by patting his stomach, “I could use its power while being a stone statue.”

“Still, wow,” Joseph said, still surprised by that. Then became alerted, he turned to look at Discord, “But there are risks with that talisman, it means your body is currently empty, any lost spirit could steal it!”

Discord laughed, “Oh come on Joseph! I know that already! Besides, no spirit could handle my handsome body with the most brilliant mind and loads of chaos power at the disposal. Most likely the trespassing spirit would ditch the body after experiencing ten seconds of insanity.”

Thinking about it for a moment, than he sighed, “If you say so. Just know that Albert would be annoyed if he found out, and Shendu will be majorly pissed.”

“Heh, what they don’t know, doesn’t hurt them,” Discord smirked, had picked up both bowls of popcorn from the floating trays and throw both bowls into his mouth and chewed them before gulping them down.

“Albert likely won’t mind, but it’s going to be Shendu who will be mad, he tends to know if the talismans get destroyed. That Dragon Sorcerer is very attached to them, you know, he only gives the talismans to the ones he truly trusted.”

“I know so, and now watch; here comes the final part.”

And with that, they both continued to watch the TV. In the memory, Discord headed back to Ponyville, which was currently now the capital city of chaos, which he plans to make it. He sat on his throne, grinning, laughing and drinking a glass of chocolate milk, but drank the glass instead and threw away the cylinder shape of chocolate milk away, and it blew up later.

Then in came Twilight Sparkle and her friends, each of them were carrying their elements.

“What the heck are they doing?” asked Joseph, sounded confused. “They lost the right to be wielders; the elements won’t work for them.”

The scene started to play, Discord letting the group to try again, believing it won’t work. But then the whole group were rising up, their elements were glowing, and then with a burst, a blast of rainbow energy surges out and consumed Discord, returning him into his old statue state.

And with that, the show on the TV screen came to an end.

“That’s impossible…” the Spirit of Orderly Air said, looking shocked at the screen. “It’s not possible… they lost the right of being the chosen wielders when their friendship had shattered. Even if they fixed with the mind spell, the elements shouldn’t have worked for them…” After a moment, his eyes widen further, “Unless…”

“Unless what?” asked Discord, feeling curious.

“Those elements are not perfected, that’s why Andy was so annoyed when the elements were first used! Their losing their true purpose, their being weaken,” said the human. He turned to Discord, “Were the elements ever returned to the tree?”

Discord shook his head, “Nope, they were mostly in the vault of the castle ruins and then the vault in Canterlot. Why do you ask?”

“Because the elements are weakening, eventually soon they will be used by any being, even without the trait the element requires,” Joseph said; now looking frighten. “Once they get into that state, they can easily be corrupted, turning them from Elements of Harmony into… into…”

“Into what?” asked Discord; he feeling a little worried.

“Elements of Hegemony,” the human whispered. “It’ll become a weapon of mass destruction.”

Discord looked shock at that, now just as worried as the human. “Does Sunbutt know this?” he asked.

“I really hope she doesn’t,” Joseph said, setting his cup down on the tray. “If she does, than it could be her goal and…” After a moment, he turned to Discord, “You said the elements were in vaults mostly, right?” Discord nodded, “Then in most likely hood, she really doesn’t know and just keep them close by believing it will defend her nation from terrible threats.”

“Well that’s good,” Discord sighed in relief. Smiled a bit, “But say, what would the Elements of Hegemony do anyways?”

The human closed his eyes and slowly leaned backwards, laying down into the pool of hot cocoa. His head was about to dive in, but felt the gentle arms of the moon princess construct. His eyes still closed, he said, “I do not want to think about it.”

Hearing that, Discord shrugged a bit, “Alright then. So just want to relax for a bit, and maybe later, I practice in trying to help you get out of your body with Astral Projection?”

“Sure,” Joseph replied, just now trying to relax. “Just know, using the talisman is easy, trying to learn it without using or any other special items it is still hard as hell.”

“But you still can learn it from me, right?”

“No,” the human said, Discord groaned in disappointment. “But you are able to use the talisman to kick me out of my body.”

“Ooh,” Discord grinned at that. “So then no training to help you get out of your body, just tell me when you feel like exploring the real world like a ghost.” Then there was a sound of a stomach growl from him, “Now I’m getting hungry.”

“How can you get hungry in a dream? And besides, you ate both bowls of popcorn,” Joseph stated, now slowly leaning back up into a sitting position, opening his eyes and looked to the draconequus.

Discord grinned, “Well, the popcorn wasn’t the only snacks we have here.” He wrapped his right lion arm around the sun princess construct’s waist.

The human’s eyes widen a bit, right eyebrow raised, “So that’s the main reason you brought the constructs here? Why?”

Discord teeth showed as he grinned, “Because I know you like watching it happen.”

“So you already know I like vore?”

“Of course I knew that, little Joey,” Discord grinned, looking at the human while holding the sun princess construct. “I also know by a fact that you tend to be a willing prey, till you’re burped right back out. I know a few of your friends just love the idea of keeping you inside their tummies for long nights. And maybe, even in other ways of vore too.”

Joseph blush a little as a few images came to mind, he groaned as he closed his eyes.

Discord chuckles and said, “Your silence shows your answer, admit it pal.” He hugged toe sun princess construct like a doll, whom giggled and happy to get the attention. His smile widen when the human slowly nodded, “And speaking of which, what are the ones you don’t like anyways?”

“Hard, as in chewing them apart…”

“Ah, the most fatal kind,” Discord stated, kinda guessed that already. He then thought of something as held the sun princess construct in his arms, he looked to the human, and asked, “So, between what your old knowledge compared to my special event, were there any differences?”

The human sighed as he relaxed a bit, the moon princess construct still sitting close. He closed his eyes and thinks for a moment, trying to recall how that show went; once he did he spoke, “Basically all are the same, except a few differences.

“Like…?”

“In the show, Fluttershy didn’t get fooled by that Discord’s tricks, and so that Discord cheated by altering her mind with his chaos,” Joseph stated, didn’t saw Discord looking a bit surprised by that. “And whole Canterlot scene wasn’t in the episode. And one pony was missing, a creation of that Discord, a chaos pony that goes by the name, Screwball, she only appeared for two seconds.”

Discord didn’t mention that he was tempted to just forcefully change Fluttershy; reason why he didn’t was mostly to not anger his friend if he ever saw it. Still, it was difficult but he managed to have made Fluttershy become Cruel Shy. “Hm, I was thinking of making an earth pony of chaos, but I wanted to deal with Canterlot first. So… if I hadn’t gone to Canterlot, this Screwball might be with us.”

“Cute gal, little crazy,” Joseph shrugged. “You likely can still create her when you get free, or just make your own dream construct of her.”

“Eh,” Discord shrugged, but had noticed. “Maybe, but curious, is that all the differences?” Joseph nodded. “Then why are you so shocked of the ponies still being able to use the elements? Spike? And the part when Twilight fixing her friends?”

“The cartoon was a children show, mainly for six year old girls who like little ponies,” the spirit air slowly state, his eyes closed, frowning as he does, “it was of fantasy, not real, just mares learning friendship merely for young children to learn. It filled with comedy, drama, and great characters.” His eyes opened as he looked to Discord, “This world we live in; it is real, it is not a fantasy, and it’s not centralized on just ponies. This world is full of life, rules, the people, and its own beauty. This world is not a cartoon show. It is unique.” He sighed, his eyes closed, “I just hope it doesn’t share the same fate.”

“Hm,” Discord thinks about it after listening, than he chuckled, “Oh relax pal; it won’t be the same as the other.” He grins.

“Maybe, I just hope that ponies follow the old laws, because if they had turned the mind control spell into a regular learning spell, I will be annoyed,” Joseph said. After a moment, he sighed, “But now, despite the fact that there are similarities between this timeline with the show, I am now loaded with tons of questions about many things.”

“One day you’ll get those answers, so till then, just have fun and relax,” Discord grinned, than after a moment of thought. Still holding the sun princess construct, he asked, “Curious, what would you had done to them if you were the spirit of chaos?”

After a moment, Joseph still sitting at where he was, he had closed his eyes while thinking. After coming up with an answer, he sighed and said, “Just know this Discord, from known knowledge I have on you, you never taken a life.” He opened his eyes and looked at Discord, serious expression, “Throughout my time in this world, me and my brothers had defeated many mighty foes, been in wars, most of which are sent to Tartarus to spend time for their punishments. Very few were killed by us, and in an honest answer, it’s not something I want to remember. We had mostly showed the light of us, and kept the darkness hidden.”

“But you guys don’t kill without a very good reason, right?” asked Discord.

Joseph nodded slowly, “Either a very good reason, or if the foe truly desires it.”

Discord recalled one thing, when he first travelled into the human’s mind defense, the dark forest maze with voices of memories. One of those voices said:

“I know not how this would end, but I will not back down, I can’t. Face me in single combat Josephiroth, let me die with honor.”

He thought, and he asked, “Duels to the death?”

Joseph nodded, “Yes, at times honor dictates, but I always show mercy to my foes, till they truly desire.”

“Good to know, but still, what would you do to those ponies if you were me?”

After a minute, he said, “If I was the Spirit of Chaos, I would’ve teleported all six of them, scatter them around the world in places so far flung that they’d spend years just getting back to Equestria. Or there’s the option of turning them into infants, or maybe into little puppies, or turn into trees. Basically to the point they wouldn’t be able to teamwork together for several years or new wielders are found.”

Discord held the sun princess construct with his tail now while his eagle hand gripped a small notebook and was writing it with a red pencil crayon with his lion paw, taking notes for future ideas. After that, he asked, “Kay, keep going. What would you do to them?”

The spirit of order sighed, “First off, the six elements are six virtues. And the opposite of virtues are vices; and that…”

“Already did that Joey boy,” Discord stated with a smirk. “I hypnotized them into their opposite selves.”

“That’s what you did,” Joseph said, his eyes closing, “but not what I would’ve done. I turned the weaknesses of the Elements against themselves.”

Discord gained a confused look, he asked, “The Elements have weaknesses?”

“Elements, Virtues, Vices, each have their own weaknesses,” Joseph stated, “me and my brothers know this, and we each have our own virtues, we know the weaknesses and strengths of each one. But we’re not talking about mine; we’re talking about the Elements of Harmony.” After a moment, he sighed, “Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, Friendship, all six of them can become vices easily. Honesty can become tactlessness, carelessly blurting out information that can get others hurt or killed. Loyalty can become blind, divided, leaving one with no choice but to betray one side or the other. Generosity can be perverted into demanding you bleed yourself dry, giving and given even when it’s kill you. Kindness can smother. And Laughter can leave you incapable of taking anything seriously, or make you heartless about other people’s suffering. And then Friendship, the name of the sixth element when five beings are gathered in unity with the sixth being, that being whose represents the magic of friendship, the heart of it.” He lightly chuckled then, “That can become into which all those knives are driven.”

Discord looked very surprised, but still wrote it all down in his notes. Joseph continued.

“What I would’ve done to those Element of Harmony wielders, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle, is give them a nudge into that kind of direction. I wouldn’t make Applejack lie, I would’ve made her unable of keeping her mouth shut, always saying anything that comes up into her head, things she obviously don’t want anyone around her to know how she feels towards any of them. Then I fill Rarity with guilt over her own desires, till she headed right to the poorhouse from giving so much to try and compensate for all those needs. Flutter Cruel may seem hilarious in a way, but no, turn her kindness to beyond the usual limits it goes, till she drove all her friends away with her smothering affection. The cruelty you put on Fluttershy, I would’ve given that to Pinkie Pie, leaving her laughing joyfully at everyone’s suffering. As for Rainbow Dash, from what I can recall from the old shows, I would have inflamed her loyalty to mindless fanaticism, and then let her pick her own banner to follow to destruction. And lastly, Twilight Sparkle, the sixth being that represents the Magic of Friendship, the heart of it all, if she lasted through all of that, I would have amplified till its bearer was a shivering addicted wreck, torn to pieces between her self-destructing friends. And with all the bearers had been rejected by their elements when they’re consumed in the dark side of those Elements, I would take those elements and return them to the Tree of Harmony, and seal up the place so no ponies would get to it again. And with that, victory would be in my gasp.”

Discord looked very surprised as he stopped writing, while Joseph looked to him, a small grin. “That’s what I would’ve done, if I was a Spirit of Chaos instead of Spirit of Orderly Air.”

Discord chuckled, smiled a little, “Huh, maybe if you told me your ideas at the beginning, those six wouldn’t even dare take hold of those elements again.”

“I didn’t plan those ideas at the start, I tend to think first,” Joseph said, looking to the draconequus. “But like everyone, even I have flaws, forgetting things and such.” Discord nodded a bit.

“Yeah, I know, you told me,” Discord said with a chuckle, than his stomach growled. “Now then, enough worry talk, its dinner time.” He looked down at the sun princess construct that is still in his arms.

The sun princess construct was still smiling, happy to have such attention from her master. She turned to look up at him, and saw his smiling face. Then his mouth slowly widens, and with a forward thrust, her line of sight was the uvula, and the back of her master’s throat.

To Discord, his mouth closed around the construct’s neck, his cheeks bulging while his tongue licked all around the construct’s head. His hands gripping her chubby sides, her arms hugging herself, squishing her big melon orbs a bit more and her legs firmly against each other, and her wings nicely folded up against her back, she was willing to be gobbled up.

And Joseph and the moon princess construct continued to watch as Discord swallowed, his mouth open up to take in Celestia’s neck and shoulders. His lips pressed on the white fur while he sucked on it a bit, licking as well before taking another gulp.

And by then, a bulge showed in his throat, the sun princess construct’s head, while Discord’s mouth had expanded while taking in her breasts and arms. He then lifts up the body till it was right above him and upside down. He took another gulp, pulling more of her into his mouth while his throat bulges outward some more. Her belly came into his mouth, and with that, his snake tongue, squeezing out between his lower jaw and the construct’s body, and it kept coming out and slowly spiraling upward along the anthro body, wrapping the long tail against the construct’s legs.

Once the tongue reached the hooved feet, he opened his mouth wide and retracted, and literally pulled the rest of the construct’s body right into his mouth. His cheeks bulging outward as more pushed in. Eventually, the moment the hooves came in, his mouth snapped shut, and only the construct’s long mane was sticking out between his lips.

He grinned, his cheeks bulging while he hummed a little, enjoying her taste. Seeing the tail, he slurps it all right in like spaghetti. And with that, he closed his eyes and swallowed hard.

GULP!

A loud gulp was heard as his cheeks shrank and the bulges in his throat expanded outward as the chest area, than the waist, and then the thighs showed while the body continued downward. Eventually the last bulge of the construct’s hooves showed while Discord’s cheeks were now flat. The bulges in his long throat continued downward.

Soon the bulges reached his flat stomach, and it slowly expanded as it accepted the construct’s body. Once his neck was flat once more, his belly was nicely big, round with a few bumps showing, and quite full feeling too.

Discord grinned as he licked his lips, eying the human and the moon princess construct. “Mmm, she was delicious, but I still hunger,” Discord said, his tail tuft showed as it came out of the hot cocoa pool, and it was slowly moving towards Joseph and the construct.

“Considering you’re the one who created her in my dream, you can have her.”

Smiled, Discord said, “Glad you’re sharing.” And before the moon princess construct did anything, Discord’s tail tuft seem to grew a mouth of its own, it opened wide along with the tail to show a gaping hole within. And it struck fast, engulf the construct’s whole head.

The moon princess construct was summoned to serve the Spirit of Order, so when she was grabbed by another, she started to struggle. She tried to grip the tuft mouth as its lips were wrapped around her neck. She rise up on her hooves while her wings shot outward, nearly hitting the human, who just sat there and watched.

Discord snickered as his tail grew longer and with the tuft keeping a firm grip, his tail started to wrap around her like a snake. Slowly, her arms were pushed down, along with her wings being forced to fold against her back, pressing the arms against her side. While it continued to coil around her body, it also lifted her up, her legs kicked about, splashing the hot cocoa around and her long sparkly tail swished around.

Joseph blocked the splash with his left arm in front of his face, eyes closed. Once the splashing ended, he opened his eyes and looked, seeing that now the moon princess construct was now in the air and close to Discord’s body, his tail was long and coiled around the big gal. And with her restrained, the tail tuft mouth started to proceed.

The mouth slowly engulfs the neck, and soon vanished into the coils while swallowing the rest of the struggling construct. The struggle becomes less and less, and eventually the tuft was seen at the bottom, it engulfs the hooves, and it slurped in the last bits of the tail. With that, the tuft closes up and looking normal. Till a sound of gulp was heard, and with that, at the top, bulges showed and moved upwards, than going along the coiled up tail.

While so, the coiled tail unwraps from the end part of the tail, revealing bulges of the body of the moon princess construct. It rippled through the long tail, gulped down fast with the struggling construct. Soon the bulges went under the hot cocoa as the tail went back under.

Joseph had been watching; was enjoying the show, he still sitting at where he was. But then, he felt something coiling around his waist, before he could say anything, he was pulled towards Discord, right into his arms.

Discord grinned as he hugged the human against his big bulging belly, “Can you massage my belly please?”

“Uh… sure,” he replied, his body pressed against the big belly though. Then he felt it enlarge slowly, pushing him away as the second construct joined the first. Now getting tightly pushed against Discord’s belly as the draconequus was still hugging him. His face pressed against the belly, “Can you let me go first please?” His voice was muffled a bit, but Discord seem to know what he asked, he let go, he even uncoiled his tail from the human’s waist.

As he pulled back a bit, “Thanks.” And with that, he looked at Discord’s belly, seeing it was now much bigger and bulging. Both alicorn princesses constructs were struggling around inside.

Discord grinned at his human friend, eyes half closed as he lay down, his legs and tail rise up and showing. The draconequus now floating in hot cocoa, he moved his arms behind his head. “Best get started, Joey,” he said, grinning to him. “They might vanish before you start.”

“You created the constructs, they’ll vanish, but anyways,” Joseph said, showed a small smile. He slowly stood up, revealed that he has his new red swim trunks on still. Seeing that he did, he sighed a little, glad that Discord didn’t took it. He waded through the hot cocoa, moved close to Discord’s left side.

Once he was close, he placed his hands onto the side of the belly, and started to massage slowly. The belly was huge, but he got time, and had started the slow work. He rubbed, feeling the belly, and felt the constructs inside moving around. At one point, saw a face imprint of the moon princess construct appeared, seem to know where he was. It made him flinched a little; he nearly forgot that it was just a construct. But anyways, moving his right hand over the imprint, he rubbed a little before pushing the imprint back in, now just showing the bulging surface of the draconequus belly.

Feeling a bit impatient, Discord moved his right lion arm away from his head, enlarged the hand and gripped Joseph’s waist. The human stopped and turned to him, but was then thrown upwards.

“Hey!” yelled the human as he was sent upwards, than he came back down, landing upon Discord’s big belly. The moment he landed, he sank deeper as though he was on a trampoline, the belly squished outward around him.

After sinking deeply, reached the end, it pushed back upward, making him bounce upward, heading back up in the air for a moment before coming back down, landing onto the belly. He bounces up and down on the belly a few times till it finally ended; he simply lay down on top of the belly, almost like he was hugging the big belly with his arms and legs, and his torso covering where Discord’s belly button was.

He groaned a bit, slowly raised his head, looking to Discord’s face, he was grinning while with his arms behind his head, just relaxing. “Was that necessary?” he asked.

Discord chuckled, “Yep.”

Raised right eyebrow as he looked to him, “Why do I get a feeling you got a different plan?”

“Because you know me so well,” Discord grinned, eyes half closed. “Look behind you.”

Confused, Joseph did so, and had noticed that his legs were gone. For a second he recalled the fact that his legs were holding tight, same as his arms before, mainly because he didn’t wanted to be bounced. Then he noticed the reason why his legs were missing.

He was waist deep in Discord’s belly button, and it was trying to suck him in. And then he felt his legs inside the belly were grabbed hold by the two constructs within. He tried to keep a firm grip with his hands, but slowly he became chest deep. Losing his grip, he was now shoulder deep.

Hearing the draconequus quietly laugh, Joseph looked at him, “Of course you do realize, this means war.”

Discord laughed, then moved his eagle arm, talon hand going and took hold of the human’s head. “And I won the first battle tonight, have fun with the ladies,” he chuckled, and then pushed the human deeply. He quickly pulled his hand back before the human could grab with both, the human did try, but failed, and moments after his arms were sucked right in. Then his belly button let out a small burp.

“Excuse me,” Discord chuckled and patted his big bulging belly with his lion hand for a moment. “Well my pets have fun with him. And Joseph…” he whispered, rubbing his belly slowly, enjoying the feeling as the human struggled inside, trying to get away from the two constructs. “…no matter what, you belong to me. And no one will take you away from me,” he grinned, and now lay back. He closed his eyes and just float in the pool of hot cocoa, enjoying the feeling as the human inside playing with his two constructs, or they trying to playing with him.
