The Return of Chaos

Prologue

15 years after the 2nd imprisonment of Discord, he was released again, this time not by something as small as a tussle between some simple foals, but a war. The New Lunar Republic had been plotting ever since Princess Luna’s imprisonment is the moon. They had bided, and then released, the battle was quick and Cloudsdale, Ponyville, and Fillydelphia were soon taken. Discords slumber was stirred, but not yet ended. He needed more this time around. It was when Celestia fought back, that the plan between TNLR and The Discordian Empire had worked, but Discord wanted more than just Co-Ownership. He wanted supremacy.
During the war that raged on, we learn the story of Landor Bridlehorn, a simple artist Unicorn in Ponyville, who had known about this for years, and was in the plan as well He hoped for a world where Celestia was no longer in power, and night could be appreciated too, and under Discords rule as well. The Ponies wouldn't have to control and help nature and could relax for once. But he learned that all the Republics and Empires only wanted one thing...

Complete dominance.

CHAPTER 1

10 days into the war

"What are you talking about!?" Landor yelled at the Lunar Republic guards, "I thought we had an alliance!” "So did we, that is, before your leader Discord attacked the Republic's head base last night" The Lunar guards said, not hiding their hatred in the slightest. "But you don’t understand! We ALL thought Discord had an alliance, and that Night would not be eternal, nor would Chaos Reign unleashed!" "Not our problem, you claim to be a General in TDE and you shall be arrested immediately." The guards told Landor while attempting to hoofcuff him. "Get off of me! Filthy scum of the night!" Landor yelled while using his magic to send the guards flying. "Get hi...m." the guards tried to utter before being knocked unconscious with a rock. "I need to get out of here, Ponyville is the LAST place I should be right now, where the HELL is Twilight I need someone NOT in one of these horrid tyrannies, and is just unaligned with anything." Landor said to himself while galloping off into the night, with rain and cannons going off in the distance."
As Landor walked into the Library he yelled, "Twi! Where the hell are you, I am not here to hurt you! I need you help!" Suddenly a dark figure walked out of a hidden door in the wall "Hello Landor, what do need my help with? Something to make MORE chaos!" Twilight said with much hatred. "No Twilight, I thought I could give Discord another chance, everyone is born happy, and can be hurt, so I thought, if we actually gave hi a chance..." Landor mumbled, with much embarrassment. "And WHAT that Discord would become everyponies very best friend and help us all?" Twilight spat at Landor. "In i..n a way..." Landor said meekly "BUT! Now I realize the error of my ways, please just help me?" Landor asked with much hopefulness. "Fine, but I am not going to happy about this." Twilight said "Learning that Rainbow Dash was with Luna all along was enough shock for me, and Applejack being on Celestia’s side, even more shock, that ANY Ponies could hate each other so much." Twilight said, with much disdain. "What do you need?" She asked. "You and the rest of the mane 6 that are unaligned, we need as much flank-kicking power as we can get" Landor said. "All right, I'll get ahold of them." "SPIIIIKKKKEEE!!!" Twilight called all throughout the Library. "Huh? What do you need? I was sleeping Twilight, come on" Spike said rubbing one eye and yawning. "Take a note and send a copy to Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie, tell them to meet near the Everfree Forest, now" Twilight said, putting much emphasis on NOW. "Okay okay..." Spike said copying up each message and sending it yawning as he did. "Alright lets hustle!" Landor said, running out the door. Once they were at the forest they saw the mane 6 come up, but they were followed by one more person, they couldn't tell who, but s/he was very strong. The pony said "Well, hi Landor I thought I wouldn't see you again ever!”
"I know you..." Landor said pondering, and then gasped "I know you! You’re... DERPY IT'S YOU!" Landor said with much happiness and surprise. "I thought that if you were going to be here, I would invite Ms. Hooves here" Rarity said with her usual flare. "I can't believe it’s you!" Derpy said hugging Landor as she did. "S...So what are we going to be doing...?” Fluttershy said while kicking one hoof. "Obviously we're going to PARTAY!" Pinkie Pie said standing on her hind legs as she did. "No, Pinkie, we aren't going to party, we are going to stop Discord, Luna, AND Celestia for destroying Equestria" Twilight said with much impatience.
"You mean we're going to destroy even Luna and Celestia?" Rarity said, with much surprise. "No, Discord's influence is just so strong, he took control of Celestia recently and Luna not long after his 2nd release" Twilight said. "And we are going to re-imprison him, and end his control of the Princesses, ending the control Discord has over the armies of the 'New Lunar Republic' and 'The Solar Empire' and even 'The Discordian Empire' as I recently did when I realized the chaos this is causing" Landor said with little emotion and much seriousness. "But Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been hypnotized by Discord!" Pinkie said.
"And?" Rarity mocked, "We can just use Twi's old memory spell, riiight Twilight?” "Sadly, no, Discord's power is much too strong this time around, he even destroyed the Windigoes with his extreme power" Twilight said, with a depressed voice. "Th...Then what are we going to use?" Fluttershy said. "We are going to use The Elements of Chaos, when they are used on Discord, they can give him so much power he shorts out, like a star" Landor piped in. "Hmm?" Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Derpy, and Rarity said in unison. "Yes, we are going to use them, they are Disloyalty, Selfishness, Lying, Vengeance, Hate, and Dark Magic" Twilight said. "But we, we don't have that in us!" Rarity exclaimed. "Well, we do, we all have a dark side we try to hide, I have a horrid dark side of Disloyalty, so I can go in rainbow Dash's place" Landor said "And, umm, I lie a little much, I try not too! But it just... Happens...” Derpy said, with much disdain. "And you 3, you can just as easily use the Elements of Chaos IF those Elements of activated" Twilight said. “SO when we find them, I will help Twilight use a spell, and it for a split second, allow us to use the Elements, and when that happens, Discord will appear from the pure chaos" Landor finished. "So, we head off now?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Not yet, we have to grab a LOT of stuff from the library storage before we go" Twilight said. "Then we will camp out at Zecora’s, then head off, to each one of the 3 places the Elements could be at" Landor said. "Ok, Landor, I hope is going to make everyone know that you really are a good pony" Derpy said to Landor after the others headed off.
"I hope so too, I hope so too Derpy..." Landor said, walking off with her. At the Canterlot Castle “So, Celestia...." Discord mocked, "What do you think, of New Discordia?” "New Discordia!" Celestia roared "Yes, Celestia, I thought I needed a name, Equestria is such a dull name" Discord said, smirking as he did. "Luna may be fighting me but I'm still fighting you!" Celestia said. "Yes, of course..." Discord said, thinking "Foalish mare, you cannot win, even while you think you are at your own will, you are under my complete control"
Meanwhile, in the Everfree forest the ponies were chatters among each other. "Hoooow much longerrrrr" Rarity whined "OH MY CELESTIA, KILL ME" Landor yelled, "You have been going on like this for hourrrsss...” "Don't be so loud Landor, you'll wake something up." Twilight said "Pinkie Pie, get away from the poison joke" Rarity said, "I don't want to deal with 'Spitty Pie' ever again!" Pinkie Pie giggled, "Okay fine Rarity, you silly pony!"
"Ugh.... I hate this place it’s not normal" Landor groaned, "What if we run into a hydra or something?" "Landor, seriously, Hydras are only in the swamps!" Twilight berated. “Okay, then, what if a dragon wakes up from a cave!” Landor shuttered. “That… is a… possibility however” Twilight muttered with fear. “Dragons! Where! Help!!” Fluttershy yelled. “Fluttershy, calm down” Pinkie Pie chuckled. “NO! I don’t want to even think of some big, mean, old dragon being anywhere near us!” Fluttershy yelled, again.
“Who like me?” a sinister echoing voice cackled out. The whole group yelled in unison. “Oh calm down” The voice said. The voice revealed itself to be a huge, red dragon. It towered above them, opened up its enormous wings, and stretched out. “Little pony, not ALL dragons want to eat you” He chuckled out. “In fact, I want to help you out” The dragon offered. “Why help us?” Twilight said “Because, If ‘Discord’ ” The dragon said, mocking his Discord’s name as he did, “Takes over Equestria, then the whole balance of nature you ponies set up would be history!”, “I am not about to let some half-dragon destroy us REAL dragons way of life so he can have his ‘entertainment’!”. “Okay then, if you really want to help us, you can show us the way to Discord’s old castle” Twilight informed. “Show you?” the dragon said “I’ll fly you guys if it means Discord can go back to his stone- abode!” “Okay then, wait, what’s your name?” Landor asked. “My name is Eldr ok blóð, Fire Blood in your language” The dragon said, with much pride in his tone “Cool name, mine’s Landor Bridlehorn”. “Well then, Landor, you and your friends hop on!” Eldr said.
The dragon flew for hours on end, and after a whole 2 days they reached the end of the forest, where an ancient, destroyed, castle awaited them. “Well, here we are” Twilight said “Well this is his castle, me and the rest of the dragons I can gather are going to free the cities” The dragon told them “Alright, thanks, we need as much power as we can get, once again, thank you so much!” Twilight said, with a huge smile on her face. “You’re welcome, and good luck with whatever you plan to do with this old thing, watch out though, some Cockatrice moved in here I heard”. “It’s okay, I think we can deal with them” Fluttershy said. The dragon flew off, but before it did, it left them a torch with an eternal fire burning on it.
“Well friends, here we are, Discords castle” Twilight said, mystery in her eyes.
