The Replacement Lord of Chaos
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSomewhere in a dark void-like place, one humanoid being and one gas-like being were having a conversation.
The humanoid being was female, she wore a plain white t-shirt and a plain white skirt. But, her body was made out of complete darkness, her eyes were the only thing that were considered normal. Her name is Stacy
The gas-like being was a, um ... something, but if he had to he would consider himself a male. His body was also pitch black. He, has no name.
"So Discord failed?" the dark being asked.
"Yes, I really thought he could do it, he was able to to cause chaos for a short time, even though he went power crazy, but he couldn't change a thing. I even broke him out after a thousand years. Thinking that he had learned his lesson and would not make the same mistakes," Stacy replied
"And how did that go?" he asked
And they would be talking back and forth for awhile
"Nothing changed. I guess I could've chosen someone that wasn't so"
"Well it seems you're not as smart as you think,"
"I thought he would actually think about others and not go insane!"
"Well what do you propose now?"
"We try again, but differently! We could chose a changeling, but if that got out of hand we might have to deal with an entire army. We could chose a minotaur, but they only care about their body. We could chose a griffon, but they only care about money. We could chose a dragon, but those are just basically bigger griffons,"
"Anything else?"
"What about a pony?"
"No, they would never ruin Celestia's 'perfect' world,"
"Buffalo, donkey, Breezie?"
"Nope, they're just like ponies,"
"Well do you have any ideas?"
"I'm not the expert here, I'm the one who hired the expert, So tell me, what do we do Expert?"
"Well there is ONE species that I think will be perfect,"
"What,"
"A human,"
"And what is a human?"
"According to this device here, a human is a human being,"
"And what does that mean?"
"Fine I'll explain it myself. A human is the descendent of the apes. They are scientificly called Homo sapiens. They survived everything the world threw at them using their brains. They have invented lots of stuff. One of the things they made is right here in my hands,"
"Yeah, what is that?"
"It is called the internet. It is a great source of information, entertainment and even shopping!"
"All with that tiny thing in your hand?"
"Yes but that is not important now. The reason I chose to choose a human is because, one their minds, two they are born neutral and three I really like their design, I'm even in the body of one,"
"So that is what you are,"
"Thanks but let me explain my reasons,"
"Ok then,"
"Alright, let us start with reason one, their minds. A human mind is really ... strong. It is a lot harder to actually look into let alone change anything so any mind control spells won't work on them, and they will be able to control magic more easily cause of the more brain power. And they even might be able to make something new out of the resources in equestria,"
"And reason two?"
"I don't want whoever we chose to take sides,"
"Alright but before we choose our human we need to talk with Discord,"
"Ok,"
The gas-like being spoke an incantation and instantly, Discord appeared holding a seven iron golf club and wearing tradional scottish attire.
"Fore!"Discord swung his club only to discover that he was in some sort of void.
"Why hello Discord, I am the one who summoned you here, we have something we would like to talk to you about,"
"And who do I have the pleasure of talking with?" Discord said while snaping his stuff away.
While Stacy introduced herself, the gas-like being had to think for awhile for he didn't have a name. after a short time he named himself Calgo. After Calgo introduced himself, Discord poofed himself glass of water.
"Splendid! Now tell me, why did you summon me here?" Discord took a sip from the recently appeared glass of water.
"We just want to tell you that you will no longer be the lord of chaos,"said Stacy.
Right after Dacy finished talking ,Discord spat all the water in his mouth right on to Stacy.
"What?" asked Discord thinking that he had heard her incorrectly.
"Your position of lord of chaos will be revoked and given to someone else," she says once again slightly annoyed.
"HAHAHAHA, oh that is a good joke," Discord falls on the floor laughing till he couldn't breath anymore.
"She's serious Discord," Calgo said.
"Hehe, she is?" asked Discord slowly.
Calgo nods slowly, confirming Discord's fear.
"But why?" Discord asked.
"Because haven't caused any real chaos in years," replied Calgo.
"W-Wha- I have done lots of chaos thank you very much," said Discord acting offended.
"You caused chaos in one location for one day," said Stacy bluntly.
"I got stoped by the Elements of Harmony!"
"That beam moved like three meters per second!"
"I was in the moment!"
"Shut up!" Calgo interrupted Discord and Dacy in the middle of their argument.
"Discord you will only be losing your magic, you will be given normal magic," said Calgo suprising Discord.
"Wait, what?" asked Discord fairly confused.
"We are replacing you not killing you, so that means we will be replacing your magic as well." Explained Calgo.
Discord poofed a chair into existence and sat down looking a bit calmer.
"Ok, so when are you replacing my magic?" he asked
"Right about... now." Stacy replied
And that moment Discord felt different. He felt weaker. Discord stood up, but had a hard time keeping his balance from a lack of standing on two legs for long periods of time.
"Hey I have another question, what are you guys?" Discord asked
"um," but before anyone could answer, Discord was suddenly in Fluttershy's cottage
Angel, who was sitting on the couch, got suprised by Discord's sudden appearance and fell off the couch. Angry at Discord, Angel walked over and kicked him in the shin and sat back down on the couch.
Fluttershy came out of Kitchen. "Oh, hello Discord I didn't see you there how was your little game?"
"It was fine," Discord replied feeling a little tired. "Hey Fluttershy, I'm going to go out for a walk."
"Ok, would you like me to give you a drink?" Fluttershy brang out two cups of tea on her back.
Discord was walking towards the door. "No I'm good, see you later."
After Discord left the house, Angel talked (using paw gestures) with Fluttershy.
"I don't think he acted that strange, he acted a little down but I don't think that is anything, but if you really want me to talk to him I will." Fluttershy decided to drink some tea, but then remembered something.
"Oh my gosh! I totally forgot about Twilight's book that I've got, I have to return it today. I'm sorry Angel but I'll be back soon!" Fluttershy trotted out the door in a hurry, leaving Angel to sleep on the couch.
Discord walked for a long time, he didn't want to talk to anybody so he tried to take a walk in the everfree forest, but he soon realized that he couldn't defend himself if he were to be attacked by timberwolves, so he took to the white tail woods, It was spring so there really wasn't a reason for anybody to be out there.
His head hanged low. 'I wonder what I'm supposed to do now, I don't have chaos so I can't just feed myself, I'll actually have to get a job and work and get a house. I wonder I'm still imortal, ugh this is the first time I had to be this serious since I was born,' and he just kept walking, thinking to himself and feeling worse and worse every second. After awhile he decieded to talk to his friends about this, espiecally his favorite one, Fluttershy.
He headed back to Fluttershy's place to talk with her, but found that she was not there, Discord asked Angel where she was and he showed him that Fluttershy was at Twilight's castle,Discord thought he should also tell Twilight of his little problem Discord managed to walk to Twilight's castle while ignoring all the stares he got from all the ponies who were looking at the lord of chaos walkng.
He knocked on the door and heard twilight say "come in".
After he went through the door he went straight to Twilight. Once he got to Twilight, he saw her talking with Fluttershy.
"Oh, hello Discord we were just talking about you," Twilight looked over with a smile on her face.
"Fluttershy said that you were acting strange, is this true," asked Twilight.
"Well, I do have something I want to talk about, but I only want to talk about it with the gang," Discord sat down on a nearby chair.
After about twenty minutes the gang assembled in the main room, but one of the ponies wasn't exactly happy.
"Ugh, why do we have to do this, I'm so tired," said the sleepy Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow, it's ten o'clock!" exlcaimed Applejack.
"But it's a Sunday," replied Rainbow Dash
"I always sleep in on sundays, but I always keep one eye open in case somepony has a frown that needs to be turned upside down," Pinkie hops into the conversation.
"As do I, I do need my beauty sleep," said Rarity
"Ugh fine, let's forget about it, so why did you call us here ,Twilight?" asked Applejack.
Before Twilight could answer the question, Fluttershy answers it for her, "Discord says that he wants to share something with us and wants to talk about it in private."
Shortly after, Discord walks into the room with a glass of water, "Hello."
Twilight speaks first, "So Discord, what did you want to discuss?"
Discord delayed his answer, it felt like a few minutes for the ponies, but for Discord it was an eternity, but Discord finally managed to break it to them.
"I am no longer the lord of chaos."
Discord let this sentence sink into the mind of ponies. The Ponies all had different reactions. Though he couldn't see it, he could clearly feel what was going on in their heads.
Twilights reaction was 'How would that work?'
Applejacks reaction was ' Well ain't that a bit queer.'
Pinkies reaction was 'No more chocolate rain.'
Rainbow Dashs reaction was 'I knew this was a lame joke.'
Raritys reaction was 'This is preposterous.'
Fluttershys reaction was "Oh you poor thing!"
Fluttershy flew up to Discord's chest with all the power she had and hugged him.
"Oh it must be awful to lose something you hold so dear," Fluttershy whispered.
"It hasn't been that bad, I kept getting a lot of stares, but it didn't bother me. I wonder whan this 'new lord of chaos' is going to be like." Discord took a sip from his glass.
Somewhere near the gates of Canterlot, a man in a cloak held out a map of Equestria.
"Looks like ... this is Canterlot, wonder what I'll meet here," and he marched, straight to Canterlot.
