Issue 0: Spirit of Chaos

In a land of magic there exists within it things that are forgotten. One of these beings forgotten for a time resurfaced. The Ancient Spirit of Chaos Discord. After a thousand years in stone his return was in a wavy both eventful and yet worthless. Now under the pretense of reforming the great Spirit is soon to be whisked away. To someplace greater.

Sitting on a cloud a miss matched entity looked on as a celebration accord in the city below. A new princess had been crown for Equestria. One who was once to him just the unicorn that held a piece of magical jewelry. Now it turns out one of his old foes had been nurturing her for Alicorn.

In his lion paws was a invite to the celebration but he knew he wasn’t welcomed by many there. ‘How can I not be? I once conquered the world and made the sun and moon my play things.’ The being thought to himself.

This entity was known as Discord, Spirit of Chaos. The spirit leaved to somewhere far away to be alone. Down below in the city a white Alicorn with a ethereal mane of a rainbow turned to a smaller blue Alicorn whose mane looked like starry skies. “I’m Surprised Discord hasn’t come by I was sure I sent him an invite.” The taller Alicorn said.

“Perhaps he didn’t get it from wherever he now lives?” The Blue one answered.

The white one turned to see her student parade turned into a song. ‘Perhaps he didn’t get the invite.’ She thought.

Everfree Forest<

Discord walked through the forest. Most of the ponies stayed away from this place seeing it as unnatural or dangerous. Given all the monsters that hid within the forest it was dangerous and it was the perfect place for Discord to go to think to himself. “What am I even doing with myself?” He asked. He sat on a rock and looked out into the forest.

He noticed something was up with one of the trees, it’s roots seem to have grown over something.

He went to check it out and found something metallic was under the roots. With his natural strength he soon pulled the roots up and ripped the object out of the ground. On closer inspection it wasn’t just some metal it was advance.

“What is this?” Discord asked, he had never seen anything like this. “Strange there no power. I wonder.” With that Discord placed his talons on it and gave it a jolt of magic. The mystical energy soon brought the thing back online however it started to spark a bit. “That can’t be good.” Discord was soon proven right as the device seemingly exploded.

BOOOOM!

The forest creatures were spooked by a loud boom sound from within the forest along with a flash within the dark deeps. Were Discord was standing both him and the strange object were gone.

Everfree City, Earth-Prime<

With a boom Discord landed on the dirt the object landing next to him. The spirit got his head up from the dirt, he noticed that it was now nighttime. “What the it should still be day time for another seven hours what’s going…” Discord looked up and stopped talking at the sight. He could see building taller than any he remembered seeing.

“I think it was over here.” A voice said as lights were seen moving towards him acting fast Discord grabbed the box and attempted to teleport. However Discord eyes went wide when nothing happened.

‘What’s going on.’ Discord then realized he felt weaker. It was as if most of his magic was gone. Acting on impulse Discord ran on his legs through the bushes nearby. The lights followed hearing the sound of the bushes.

“Stop!” The voice rang behind him. Discord stopped to see a old building in a clearing it’s door opened. Discord ran into it and for cover. In the shadows he turned to see the source of the lights. Two strange bipedal beings in what Discord realized we're officer outfits.

“Must have been a stray dog.” The older of the two said. He was about to walk away when younger one spoke up.

“What about the old church sir?” He asked pointing to Discord’s hiding place. Discord tensed up at this. However the older officer just shook his head.

“Kid that old place is to obviously a hiding place.” The older cop said. “Besides it’s late we must have been hearing things.”

The younger of the two was hesitant but decided to trust the older police officer judgement. The two turn around and walked away. As they did Discord breath a sigh of relief as the two walked away. Discord could finally look at the ‘Church’ he was hiding in. He saw what looked like a alter. “So it’s a place of worship then?” Discord could feel that his magic was slightly more powerful here then outside. ‘Strange.’ He thought to himself. If he had to guess he had as much power as a ‘gifted’ Unicorn.

He looked at the object he had found in the everfree forest. “Did you bring me here?” He asked it. There was no response from it and Discord gave a sigh. He found what looked like a old cloak and some dusty discarded robes.

“I might need to hide who I am if I want answers about where I am and why I feel week.” Discord said to himself. A few hours of trying to get the robes on he finally manage to get them to fight and with some work manage to get the cloak on. He had to use what magic he had to fix his horns to get it to hid his face.

Putting the object away safe he walked out looking at the city. Within the city Discord was shocked by all he saw. Metal vehicles moved on the roads, he saw bipedal walking around everywhere with small devices talking to them or tapping on them.

As he walked through the city he could feel that none of them were using any magic to power any of this. ‘The most have advanced without magic.’ Discord needed information about this world, while he could ask about everything he got the feeling that would make him seem crazy so there was only one other option.

Discord stood there and focused on the minds of those around him. He used his telepathy before to find out about the new elements of harmony and this would be no different. After only a few minutes he was getting a better grasp on this world. The people around him were called humans. He was in a nation called the United States on the eastern seaboard. This planet was called Earth. The strangest thing was that from those he was gathering information from was Magic.

It was seen as if it didn’t exist at all. ‘Perhaps that’s why I’m so weak?’ Discord asked himself for a moment. After he had gathered enough to have a basic understand started to wonder around the city for a bit. As he walked through an alley he saw three men ganging up on a lady one of them having a knife in his hands.

“Well what do we have here?” One of them asked. Discord turned and watched. He had a feeling that this wouldn’t end well for the lady. “Seems you're all alone miss?” He had a wicked smile.

“Stay away I don’t want any trouble.” She said. Discord was  about to turn away but something was staring within him. He had been selfish and uncaring before but now he was feeling something he hadn’t truly felt in a long time, empathy.

“How about you give us that purse and we will see.” Another of them said. One of them grabbed the purse and tosses her into the ground. However before anything could continue a hand grab one of the thugs arms.

“I have a Idea how about picking on someone who could fight back.” Discord said before punching him in the stomach. The the sound of creaking being heard. ‘Did I just break some of his ribs?’ Discord asked himself. The answer came as the guy cough up a bit of blood. ‘Oh Faust I did.’ Discord let him fall. The other two looked a bit in fear. The one with the knife went to attack him. Discord grabbed his arm and crushed it.

He screamed in pain as Discord broke the bones. “My arm!” he dropped the knife and held on to it screaming in pain. The last thug was shaking in fear.

“Hey look we didn’t mean anything…” He tosses a garbage lid at Discord and tried to run away with his hand raised Discord channel what magic he got and levitated the lid up and at hit him in the back he collapsed on the ground in pain. ‘At least I can still do that.’

Magic covered the purse as Discord brought the object to him. He saw that the one who arm he broke had fled and the lady was still here. Discord moved to her and still was a bit afraid. Discord didn’t blame her. “I believe this is yours.” Discord said handing it back to her. Discord turned and walked away.

Still shaken the woman asked. “Who are you?”

Discord passed for a moment then turned back to her. “Just call me Discord.”

Discord walked back into the shadows. Unknown to him this night will soon change everything for him.

Issue 1: The Start of a Hero

Discord sat down in one of the chairs old benches with a sigh. “What was I thinking?” he asked himself. He removed his disguise, thinking to himself as he did. He had bigger things to worry about. How did he get here, what was the strange box that brought him here, and why was his magic so weak!

The fact his magic was so limited was now starting to scare him. ‘What if my magic completely leaves me?’ Discord shook his head as his spine tingled in fear. ‘No, don’t think of that, you're just tired from whatever happened,’ he tried to reassure himself.

He looked for some place to rest within the room. He decided against sleeping on the altar or the benches. He got the feeling that would be a terrible idea. His eyes caught sight of a door in the corner right. He opened it to find a room with bunch of stuff stored in. As he looked through it, he pulled out a device with antennas and knobs.

He added a bit of magic to it to power it up as it seemed it was powered by something based on electronics. He got static and twisted the knobs. As he did, it started to play music. ‘It’s a radio.’ Radios were uncommon in Equestria. Then again they were new and not widely in use. Discord cut off the magic and placed it down of a desk.

He looked through the boxes and found some old rope and nets. With some nails, rope and nets, he soon made a makeshift hammock. Discord got in testing to see if it could hold his weight. It held out under him well enough. He laid down in it, closing his eyes and letting sleep take him.

Discord awoke to sunlight shining through a window directly under him. Getting up he could see just how dusty the room was. He had to guess that it was decades since anyone had been here. Discord turned to the radio on the desk. He let his magic power it up and it started to play some music. ‘Might listen to something,’ he thought.

He pulled out of a box some rusty objects and took a bite out of them. In his early years he found it strange he could eat almost anything while everyone else looked at him strangely. Turns out he could eat virtually anything. As he was having breakfast, a voice was heard over the radio.

“Hey this is Everfree City Local Radio.” Discord ignored it as it talked about morning commute and the weather. However, when it got to the news, something caught his attention. “A mugging was stopped last night when a figure stepped in and took down each of the thugs; the figure left the scene soon afterwards.”

“Sounds like what I did last night,” Discord said to himself.

“The figure did give out his name as he left, calling himself Discord, the witness said he was concealed under the patched together outfit he was wearing.” Discord went to turn it off when the speaker asked the abductee something surprising to him. “Could Everfree be receiving it’s own crime fighting vigilante, or maybe it’s own superman?”

“Superman? What on Gaia is a Superman?” Discord asked. He shrugged at this and turned off his radio. He then closed his eyes to feel his magic. To his surprise, it was rising a bit. It wasn’t much but it was rising.

‘Strange,’ he thought to himself. He awoke with his magic not changing one bit. However the radio came on and retold what he did and suddenly he felt stronger. ‘What could this mean?’ he asked himself.

“Maybe it has something to do with this Superman.” Discord saw a dusty mirror, and after cleaning the dust off he brought his outfit from last night and put it on in front of it. Discord knew he would look strange with it on and after last night. “Well let's take care of this.” He casted a illusion spell on the outfit to give him the look of a normal human man.

A few Hours later, Everfree Library<

Discord couldn’t find any books on what he wanted to know, so after reading someone's mind with telepathy he was sitting over what was known as a computer looking up Superman on the internet.

‘Well this wasn’t what I was expecting.’ This Superman was some kinda superpowered hero. Discord was kinda reminded of the Power Ponies that the baby dragon had. ‘Superheroes are real in this world.’ Discord pulled out another article about a man who could run so fast he could appear and be gone in a flash.

The next one talked about a man dressed as a bat called “Batman”. Discord rolled his eyes at the uncreativity. He turn off the computer and walked out of the library, his mind pondering this. ‘So there are superheroes in this world, and that voice on the radio thinks I might be one of them? That doesn’t explain why my magic got stronger… unless...’

Discord looked at his hands and out into the street as his mind pieced together something. ‘Could it be that my magic grows with praise to my deeds? It seems impossible, but I have seen some strange things in my time.’ That started to get him thinking. If he needed praise for his deeds to get back his magic, then what better way than to be a superhero?

‘Only question is: how can I? My magic is weak and I got nothing else besides it.’ Discord then mentally facepalmed, and punched himself. He had grown so used to having that much magic he had forgotten his physical abilities.

He remembered moving boulders with his strength, ripping trees with next to no effort, he could even rip metal apart. He knew he could take a hit. Celestia and Luna were no pushovers a thousand years ago. He remembered how their fight caused the original city of Canterlot to be reduced to ruins, along with damage to the nearby landscape. Not to forget his telepathy. ‘I’m more than capable to take on the role of a Superhero, now that I think about it. I just need a costume.’

Once he was back at the church he got to thinking about one. He could simply just appear as his regular self, but that was too obvious. He could make a costume, however it seemed done by these heros. ‘I got it.’ A few hours of looking through the boxes, the outfit he had been using and magic later.

Discord stood at the mirror. The outfit he chose to wear was a cloak and hood with yellow trim. He had used his magic to change his body a bit. His wings and his horns were gone with his magic. He had to enchant his robes to change colors and to allow it to repair itself with magic. “Look out criminals, Discord is coming for you!” he screamed, trying to sound righteous.

One month later, Everfree Bank<

The sound of sirens could be heard as the bank was robbed. The two bank robbers got into the car with their getaway. “Come let’s move, we don’t want the cops on our tails!” one of the robbers screamed at the getaway driver.

“Screw the cops, what about that Spirit!” the getaway screamed back at them.

“Come on not like he will show up…” The roof of the car was dented as something landed on it. “What the fuck was that!” Talons ripped into the roof as part of it was ripped off the hood.

“So I take if you didn’t withdraw your own money, then?” Discord asked with a smile. The robbers pulled out their guns, only for them to be removed from their hands by Discord’s magic. “No, none of that. That’s annoying you know, what with all the holes.”

However the driver didn’t see where he was going as he was about to crash into a police barricade. “Oh horse feathers,” Discord said. He teleported in front of the car and stopped it with his strength. He then punched right into its hood and pulled out the engine as the cops moved in to apprehend them.

“Well that should teach you not to steal from a bank,” Discord said before he flew up and away as the police came to him. “You guys have it now,” he said with a smile.

In the month since Discord had become a superhero, he had been stopping crimes as the had happen across the city. His heroism had different responses. The police were divided on him. On one hand, he helped greatly on crime, however he was being a vigilante, which was against the law.

For the people however, while he was praised, his bizarre appearance and powers lead to some surprising theories of his origins. Some thought he was a ghost that punishes the wicked, others thought he was a fallen angel or even a demon from hell. However those who refused the supernatural thought he was an alien.

Discord looked out from on top a building. At first he only became a superhero to get his magic back. While his magic was stronger than when he arrived, it was still not enough to warp reality around him. It was an improvement, nevertheless.

However over time, something started to change within him. He was starting to enjoy being a superhero. He was enjoying being a beacon of good. Discord gave a laugh at this. “Well seems like Celestia got what she wanted, I am using my powers for good,” he joked to himself.

Within a cave, something glowed a dark red glow. A dark voice could be heard saying a single word, “Crrrryyystaaaaals!”

Issue 2: The Shadow King (unedited)

It had been three months since Discord had become a superhero in Everfree City. He was back in the old church which he had took as his base of operations for the time being. He pulled out from a bunch of junk an old police radio. “Ok lets see how do you work?” He said to himself as he started to disassemble it.

The old radio in his room was now speaking the news.The first part was local news about the mayor and his heroics. “In other news a strange gen was discovered not far from our own city.” Discord turned off the radio with his magic. He put down the police radio and climbed into his hammac.

“Well I now know to watch out for a gem burger if I’m lucky,” Discord said to himself with a chuckle. With that he soon fell asleep, unknown of the fact

S.T.A.R. Labs, Everfree City<

A scientist looking over the reading and the data on the computer. “This is unprecedented, this crystal… It’s almost as if it’s alive!” He exclaimed. The crystal being scanned before him was found within the nearby caves. Just looking at it one could tell it wasn’t native to the caverns. Now the scientist didn’t even think it was native to the planet.

As he was looking over the notes the room started to glow a deep red color. “What the?” The glowing was from the gem. The computer started to pick up something new brainwaves. “It’s alive!” He said in shock.

The gem sent a surge of energy causing the computer to explode sending the scientist back. As for the “gem” it broke apart as a black shadow expanded from it. The Scientist got up on his elbows and turned a feeling for fear coming over him as eyes formed and opened from with the shadow.

The eyes looked at him with confusion but soon morphed into a glare. Dark whisps came from the eyes as a voice said one word. “Cryyyyssssssstalssssssssss!” The shadow moved at him as the scientist panicked.

“Stay back! I’m warning you!” He yelled, however the shadow knew that was a lie. “I… I can shoot lasers from my eyes!” He screamed. He back was on the wall as the shadow surrounded him.

“Lie!” The shadow said. Within the lab screaming could be heard along with a sadistic dark laughter. After a few minutes everything got quiet. Dark vapors passed through the doors room as the shadow leaved the room and though a partly open window moved into the Everfree City.

S.T.A.R. Labs, hours later<

The police, and ambulances had come to the lab as a full body page was seen dragging out what was left of of a body. “What could have done this sir?” One of the officers asked. The chief turned to him.

“I have no idea.” He had never really seen this kinda thing.A shadow was seen overhead in the air.

“Perhaps I can help?” Floating down was Discord. A few cops had their guns pointed out at him. Discod held his mismatched arms up. “Whoa don’t shot, I know we didn’t get on the right foot but come on I want to help.”

The police chief looked Discord straight in the eyes. “Put your guns down.” The reluctantly did so as instructed. The Chief walked up to him. “Maybe you can help us.”

The body bag was placed down and opened up before Discord. Discord kinda ignored who this thing was. What he felt was something he had only felt once before. “So got any ideas?”  The chief asked. Discord turned to the police chief.

“I may have a idea who caused this.” Discord said, “But I need to be sure.” Discord neeld down and reached into the body bag. Discord then pulled out bits of something and what looked like black crystals. This confirmed it for him. “Sombra.” Discord said shocked by this.

Last time Discord remembered the Umbrum was killed by the cysta heart completely destroyed. ‘Then again he had died once and came back.’ He reminded himself. Discord turned to the police. “I know who did this, and strange thing is he should be dead.”

“Should be dead?” The chief asked.

Discord walked by him. “Well yeah I’m pretty sure being blown to pieces from a city empowered love blast should have killed him.” They all looked at Discord with looks of confusion. “Trust me even I found it hard to believe.”

A officer came up to the chief. “Sir we got a report and your not going to believe this one.”

Before the chief of police and Discord was black crystals with what looked like people trapped inside. “No doubt about it Sombra did this.” Discord said as he walked up and placed his paw on the crystals.

“Have you identified the victims?” The Chief asked. The officer shook his head at this.

Discord turned to them. “They’re not dead.” He said as he gathered up magic into his talons.

“How do you know?” One of the officers asked.

“Because.” Discord closed his talons into a pist and punched the crystal. A wave of energy passed through it and it was creaked open with the people landing gasping for breath. “I could read that they had thoughts.” Discord said as he helped them up.

The crystals broke apart into dark vapories. “Let’s get them some hot chocolate as we ask them questions about the traumatizing encounter.” Discord said with causal tone. The vapors formed behind Discord into a dark shadow. Discord turned around. “Crap.”

The shadow attempted to attack them as Discord formed a barrier to protect them. The shadow slammed against it then whipped around striking the shield again and again using its whole form. Discord turned to the chief. “Get them out of there I’ll hold it off!” Discord screamed at them.

The cops got the victims into the cars and drove off. The Shadow noticed this and went against them only for a magic blast to knock them into the nearby building. “Oh no you don’t!” Discord said floating up. His fists glow as he channeled magic into them. The Shadow shot out at him as Discord tossed his fist back and delivered a punch to it. The shadow was tossed back as Discord delivered a right hook.

The shadow rushed into him and slammed him against the wall. As it came in Discord blasted it with fire from his hands. As the shadow moved back Discord rammed his body into it with his arms wrapped around the shadow he slammed it on the ground hard floating back up he gathered his magic into a ball and let it loose. When the flash of light settled the shadow was gone. Discord gave a sigh a flew off.

Everfree Town Hall<

.Discord sat down in the chair provided for him to his right was the Chief of Police and right in front of him was the city mayor. Mayor Ashley Marble looked at the spirit of chaos and the police chief. “Well then Discord, I must say that while I admire what you are doing but you're not really authorized and are technically breaking the law.” Discord winked at that.

“However I am no fool, something is out there and I feel times are changing the chief and I got to talking.” A box was handed to Discord who opened it to find what looked like a police badge.

“Ok I’m for a lost.” Discord said.

The chief gave a chuckle. “Well let's just say you're a honorary member of the force, after what I saw yesterday I figured it’s for the best.”

“Might I ask have you any leads on where Sombra is it is?” The mayor asked.

“Unfortunately his trail grow cold,” Discord said with his eyes closed.

The chief sighed. “I’ll put all forces on high alert for any strange crystals or shadows, I’ll contact you if I find anything.” Discord gave a nod and disappeared in a flash as he teleport away.

Issue 3: The Justice League Raise!

Gotham City<

On top of a building, a figure looked out on alert. It put down the high tech binoculars as it had found what it was looking for. However, a green light was suddenly shone on him. Within the light one could make out the black capee and cowl, his reinforced kevlar outfit with the symbol of a bat and the utility belt around his waist.

“Holy crap you're Batman!”

The Dark Knight turned to the person who had unknowingly revealed his location and glared at them. He was wearing a green outfit with glowing lines along it. The outfit had a slightly armored appearance about it. His mask covered his eyes, forehead, and part of his nose. On his finger was the source of his light, a green ring. He was the Green Lantern of Earth’s sector.

The thing in the shadows jumped up to them. It’s was covered in a metallic armor, yet under it was an organic entity as the teeth and tongue showed. “You blew my cover!” Batman growled as he tossed exploding batarangs at the entity. It raised its arms to guard itself as the explosion sent it back. A green fist came from Green Lantern’s ring,punching it into the wall.

It jumped out at the two from the building only to get blasted by magic from above and crashed on the ground in the alley way.

“Man, first time I visit Gotham and this happens.” Floating down to the two heroes was a smiling Discord.

“And you are?” Green Lantern asked.

Discord was about to retort to that when Batman did it for him. “He is Discord, Everfree City’s new hero.”

“What he said.” Discord held out his hands and levitated the unconscious entity up to him. “Now, lets see what and who you are...”

Discord entered with his telepathy and saw something unsettling. He saw beings invading worlds, feeding on the psychic energies of their conquered... if they were lucky. “Oh my Faust.” Discord said at seeing this. He turned to the other two heroes.

“What is it?” Batman asked.

“I saw into its mind… Earth is going to be invaded and everyone going to be enslaved into food or worse.” The reality set into the three heroes. Discord looked at them both. “You both go get Superman. I’ll see if I can warn the United States military.”

“Wait do we get-” Green Lantern couldn’t finish as Discord teleported them both to Metropolis. Discord then teleported to the nation's capital.

Washington DC<

Walking around the landmarks and parks was a lady from another land wearing a blue and red outfit and a golden circlet around her forehead, with a sword and golden lasso at her hip. She was Diana, Princess of Themyscira; the island nation hidden from the outside world, and said nation’s ambassador.

“We should really get back, Miss Prince,” said her liaison, Steven Trevor.

“While I appreciate your concern, Steven-” She didn’t get to finish as Discord appeared between them.

“So this is America’s capital? Canterlot’s got nothing on thi.. hey!” Discord stopped holding up his arms as Diana pointed her sword at him.

“Who are you creature? Who sent you?” Diana asked.

“I’m Discord and I came here to warn the United States military about an in incoming invasion.” Discord started.

“An invasion?” Steven asked.

Fireballs could be seen falling through the air above them. The balls slowed down and crash into the ground, revealing they were drop pods. They opened up as dozens of invaders walked out and gave a terrifying roar.

“This invasion!” Discord yelled as he flew into one, fists glowing as he delivered a haymaker to one of them.

Diana jumped in with a slash from her sword and blocking an attack with her shield before knocking the invader back. Discord got punched right in his face from one of them. Glaring, he clawed across his face while firing a blast of magic from his hands.

Diana tossed her sword into one of them before punching another out. A shot from an energy weapon struck Discord, though he got back up, outfit burned.

“Bucking Tartarus!”

Several more came out with energy weapons blasting. Discord formed a deflecting barrier to stop them, the stray shots hitting the landscape or other invaders... until one of the stray shots went for innocents.

“No!” Discord screamed.

However a red streak dragged them out of the way before taking the invaders’ blasters and punching them out. Appearing in a flash was a young man wearing a red jumpsuit with a yellow lighting bolt symbol on his chest, with mini lightning bolts around the glowing lines on his outfit.

“Hey.” Discord realized this was the Central City hero, The Flash.

“Glad you could join the party,” Discord said as he lowered his barrier, elevating the debris around him and tossing it with his magic at the invaders as Diana finished up her batch.

“Sorry I can’t stay and chat, got to get to Metropolis,” The Flash said before he took off.

Discord turned to Diana. “Don’t suppose you want to help with this invasion?” he asked.

Metropolis<

The hero of Metropolis dug himself out of the building he had been slammed into, his blue and red Kryptonian armor with the S shield all dusted up. He turned to the invaders and cracked his neck. “Is that all got?” he asked as he flew in and delivered a closeline to them both, leaving them unconscious. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

In the skies, Green Lantern formed a rocket launcher and let loose several rockets into the flying invaders. He then formed a mini gun construct and fired on several more. Explosion could be seen as batarangs flew through the air. Batman delivered a swinging dropkick to one invader, then with his fists punching, turned on his electronic brass knuckles to start brawling in good old fisticuffs.

The Flash ran around the city, knocking down as many invaders as he could. In a flash, Discord and Diana landed in the city and went to work as well.

As Batman was knocked down the invaders around him, a shadow loomed over him. An enlarged version of the invaders looked down and armed the cannons on his back. It didn’t get to fire as it screamed in pain. From behind, a trident pierced right through it. The wielder of said trident pulled the weapon out of its body. His outfit was orange with green arms and black leggings, all seeming to have been made to mimic fish scales.

His blond hair and mustache were grown out in a slightly unkempt style. “Need a hand?” He asked, his trident raising on his shoulder.

Discord flew in, smashing a flyer into the ground. “Yes please,” he said before creating a fireball and launching it at another.

Aquaman nodded, jumping up high into the air and spearing one of the flyers. He pulled it out and hurled it right though another giant. Using its body as a jumping platform after retrieving it, he punched another hostile with enough force to send it clean through a wall.

Discord punched and blasted several in front of him while a sneaking invader attempted to shoot him from behind. However, before it could, a sonic blast shot it before it could attack Discord. Turning behind him, Discord saw someone who was no more than twenty physically, even if most of his body was mechanical, the only part organic was half of his face which showed his dark skin.

“I haven’t seen you before,” Discord said, not wanting to comment on the whole, ‘more machine than man’ thing this guy had going on.

“I’m new,” he explained as he fired another blast at the invaders.

“I won’t push it,” Discord simply said.

An hour into the siege, Superman punched the last one down.

“There! invasion done!” Flash commented.

Cyborg turned to him shaking his head, “I can pick up calls for help all over the globe. This is far from over.”

Discord looked up into the sky, “We need to take out the mothership.”

“Good now next question-”

“Okay, look, I know this is sudden, but if you makes you feel any better, I didn’t think I would be going into a possible suicide mission to stop an alien invasion of this world either,” Discord interrupted.

“How did you…?” Flash started.

“Telepathy,” Discord deadpanned.

“Wait, what? You can read minds?!” he asked, wondering just what Discord might have seen in his head.

“Look I didn’t pry into your secret identity if that’s what you're asking,” Discord retorted as he turned to face the whole group. “I’m going to open a portal to the mothership. If anyone wants to back down, they can.”

“If any of us do then the chances of success are drastically reduced,” Batman pointed out.

“Most likely, yes.” Discord agreed with artificial wind behind him his talons raised, glowing with magic. A portal opened before them. Without hesitation or even a glance back, the team jumped through.

Invader Mothership<

The moment the heroes stepped out of Discord’s portal, they were detected by the shipboard sensors, causing alarms to blare all across the ship. “Oh wonderful. They know we’re coming.” Discord grumbled in annoyance.

Laser cannons opened up from the walls, blasting at the heroes. Green Lantern reacted quickly, blocking the shots while Batman took down the cannons.

“Let’s move!” Superman ordered.

Batman turned to Discord. “You wouldn’t happen to have learned the ship’s layout by any chance, would you?”

“Yeah. We should be able to reach the main reactor from here. Damaging it enough should cause the ship to explode.” Discord answered.

Several of the invaders’ defenses tried to slow them down, but all that came were mowed down. The reactor’s doors were locked shut, but with a flying ram, Superman tore it open. The reactor was a massive thing with glowing energy coming from the central tube. However, standing in front of the reactor were strange looking aliens who appeared to be the ones controlling the invading forces.

They were mostly featureless entities of black and white. Floating down was a balloon like blob. “So you are the ones causing us all of this trouble?” It asked in a low, slightly echoing voice.

“Yeah, I’m guessing you're the leader?” The Flash asked.

“Indeed not that it matters for you.”

Pain lanced through the heroes’ minds as they held their heads to try to block out the sensation.

“Go ahead, struggle! The psionic force will feed us anyway!” The aliens all laughed. Most of the heroes were on the ground in pain. However, Discord noticed Cyborg was still standing.

“Cyborg… smash… the reactor…Now!” Discord glared at the aliens and attacked their psychic might with his own, the sudden attack granting a moment of respite from their assault. That was all Cyborg needed and the reactor was destroyed by a well placed missile.

“No! You fools!” The mental assault ended as the ship’s alarms warned of its imminent destruction. Discord began gathering the mana required to get them off the ship.The reactor finally exploded, an inferno expanding in a sphere that engulfed the vessel and atomized it and everything aboard. All across the planet, the invasion’s ground forces were quickly and painlessly killed by the shock of being severed from their link to the mothership.

In Everfree City, a flash of light heralded the return of the heros.

Discord had just barely managed to get them off the ship in time.

Hours Later<

A crowd gathered around as photos were taken by the excited press. Politicians, military leaders, and foreign heads of state were all gathered to celebrate the victory over the invasion. At the podium stood the President of the United States, giving a speech in dedication to the eight heroes that stood behind him: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Discord.

“I still can’t believe we actually saved the world,” Flash stated.

“Well we did,” Superman answered.

Discord turned to them all. “Look. I know this might sound crazy, but what if this team up between us all actually keeps happening?”

They all turned to him. “Think about it. None of us could possibly have stopped this alone. Trust me. I have seen what teamwork can do against impossible odds.” Discord resisted the urge to wink at the memory of being imprisoned in stone by Celestia and Luna, as well as by Twilight and her friends centuries later.

“Well what would we even call ourselves?” Batman asked.

The Flash came up with an idea, “The Justice League!”

“I like the sound of that,” Discord said, nodding.

Deep under Everfree City a certain large dark crystal shattered open. In the dark abandoned swerse the quiet of it was broke. “I live Again!”

Issue 4: Sombra Umbrum

Issue 4: Sombra Umbrum

Discord fiddled with the box in his talons. On the radio the news blared about the clean up from the alien invasion. “I tell ya things have been changing since superheroes popped up, now we have one of the world's saviors in our own city.” Discord gave a chuckle at this. That was a week ago when the Justice league formed.

Discord placed the cube down and turned off the radio. His floating cape wrapped around him. “Well time for the daily grind.” He said as he walked to the window of his hide out. He flew out of the church building and into Everfree City.

Discord flew over the city looking down at it. ‘Seems calm, almost to calm. Who knows maybe the whole saving the world has made them think twice about committing crimes.’ Discord thought to himself. Discord landed on a rooftop looking out the city. “You know I should get one of those smart phones, I wonder what this Social media is.” Discord said talking to himself with his arms in a thinking position.

The ground started to shake all across the city. The populous look on in shock and panic at this. “Is this a earthquake?” One random bystander asked. Suddenly the manhole covers shot up as large dark crystals raised out from the openings. Cracks formed in the street as more crystals forced their way out from below them.

“That can’t be good.” Discord said as he went into action. He ripped open a door to an overturned car helping the driver out. “Sorry about this madam.” Discord said helping her out.

“HELP!” a scream was heard as a window cleaner was hanging just barely. He lost his grip and started to fall to the pavement below. However just before he hit he was covered in a yellow light and was floating just above the ground. Discord talons glow ended as he put him down gently.

“No need for thanks I got a lot to do.” Discord said as he flew up into the air. While he had a smile on he was in deep thought. ‘Sombra finally is making himself known, and if the amount of crystals is anything to go by he is back at full power.’

Discord landed in front of a wall of crystals. With his fists covered in magic he started punching away at the Crystals. After forming a hole in them he started helping the civilians trapped in them. After the last one was freed a dark laugh was heard. “So… It seems I wasn’t mistaken.”

The crystals rearranged to form a doorway, walking out of it was Sombra. Discord noticed that he had altered himself seeing how he was now a Anthropomorphic “pony”. The Umbrum walked out and into the street. Every step he took small crystals formed. “Sombra… I must say for someone who was blasted into fragments you'll looking well.” Discord said with a smile.

“Really? Because I think you look worse.” Sombra said as he fired a blast from his horn, right at a few scared bystanders.

“No!” Discord got in front of them and summoned up a barrier. Discord struggled for a moment under the blast of magic fuelled by fear, hate, and darkness. When it ceased Discord dropped it only to get a whip around his neck made of shadow coming from Sombra’s arm.

“Oh how you have fallen,” Sombra said with  a dark laugh, “I see now, your magic is weak in this world, you do not command the forces of reality,” He brought Discord close. “Do you?”

Discord glared at him, “I don’t need it to beat you.” Discord twisted his body and gave Sombra a kick in his face. The sudden pain caused Sombra to let Discord go. Discord let loose a magical blast at him point blank.

Sombra smashed into the crystals behind him. Discord turned to the people. They ran as if knowing what he was about to say. Sombra got up and glared annoyed at Discord. “Seems I underestimated you.” Sombra hands glowed with magic. “It will not happen again!” Sombra raised his hands up as crystals shot up all around them.

Discord was surrounded back the crystals and he saw at it glowed red. Discord teleport away for the blast that followed. “Hey careful.” Discord screamed. Sombra rammed into him as a force of shadow smashing him through the building. “Ouch ok enough.” Discord’s talons crackled with lightning. He grabbed Sombra letting loose the mystical charge into the Umbrum.

“Graghhhh,” Sombra screamed moving back, “You'll pay for that!” Sombra shadows lashed out as Discord flew dodging each strick.

‘Ok Discord think what can you do? Let’s see call the rest of the league? No lets save that as the last resort.’ Discord thought to himself

“Stay still so i can imprison you in crystal!” Sombra said with a savage smile as he started blasting Discord.

‘That’s it sealing! Thanks Sombra!.’ Discord thought to himself.”Yeah how about you catch me!” Discord screamed as he flew while Sombra followed a wave of Crystals forming behind himself. Discord gotten started of the sealing spell incantations. A tendril of shadow knocked him out of the air. Discord rolled on the ground and slammed into something.

Discord got up to see a statue of the cities founder. ‘It will have to do.’Discord thought. He placed his paw on it infusing it with his spell. Sombra shadowy form appeared over him. “End of the line Discord!” Sombra lodged horn glowing.

“Yeah for you.” Discord said teleporting away. Sombra smashed into the statue his spell activating.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” Sombra voice could be heard as his form was trapped within the statute. Discord gave a sigh as the crystals slowly disappeared into magical particles. “I will have my revenge!” Discord turned back to see the statue of the founder encased in Sombra’s Crystals.

“Great.” Discord deadpanned.

Discord sighed and laid on the old sofa. He removed his outfit with his magic. ‘Ok today was intense, Sombra now here on earth.’ Discord reached and pulled the metal box into his talon and paw. “I wonder did you have a hand in this?” Discord asked with a laugh.

“No I didn’t.” A voice said. Discord looked around for the voice’s owner. He was the only one here.

“Strange there no one here… unless.” Discord looked at the box. “Was that you?”

“Yes it was.” The cube said.

There was perfect silence in the room for five minutes. “WHAT IN THE NAME OF FAUST!”

Back at the statue. A small piece of Crystal fell off and landed on the ground. It seen disappeared into the ground with a dark laugh being heard for a moment. In the night sky a image flash for a moment. Another laugh could be heard this one feminine.

Issue 5: The Mother Box and interview.

Discord walked back in forth in deep thought. ‘Ok so the metal cube talked.’ Discord thought to himself. The cube was placed on the table right below him. Discord reached up and picked the cube back up. He floated back off the ceiling and turned rightside up. “Ok I’m going to ask some questions, can you answer?”

“I will to the best of my ability.” The cube said.

“Alright first question… what are you?”

“I am a Mother Box.”

“Ok, now what is a mother box?” Discord deadpanned.

“I am a sentient supercomputer created by the New Gods gods for a multiple of proposes.” The mother box answered.

“Alright, so then why were you on Equestria?” Discord said floating ing his crotch.

“Unknown, I seem to have been damaged for a time,” The mother Box answered. “How did you repair me?”

Discord shrugged. “Magic, lets leave it at that.”

“So you're a magic user?” The mother box asked.

“Yes I am, Discord Spirit of Chaos, and you are?”

The box didn’t respond for a few moments. “I do not have a name, we usually do not have names.” Discord felt awkward about this.

“Ok calling you mother box would seem weird, how about we give you name?” Discord asked. He floated a crate up to him as he started looking through it. “I know it was in here somewhere.” Discord pulled a out a book and have a blow on it. “Yes just was I was looking for.’

It was a book of names. However when Discord opened it he saw most of the ink had been smudged or faded completely. “You should keep you things in a better place next time.” The mother box said with what Discord could guess was a chuckle.

“Yeah well I only use this place to listen to radio sleep and eat, plus I found this place only a few months ago.” Discord snapped back as he flipped through the pages. “Ok the only names in here that are not gone are Curie, Josua and Nyx… though I don’t think they are actually supposed to be in this book..”

“Curie sounds nice.” Discord shrugged.

“Alright then I’ll call you Curie.” Discord said he started to eat the book a bit. It was worthless as reading instrument but for Discord it served as dinner. Discord floated into his hammock. “Well good night.”

Discord looked down from the buildings are the streets got repaired. Sombra Crystals disappeared soon with him sealed and the streets showed the damage.  Cracks formed all over and some parts of the streets were torn open leading down to the sewers and old subways. ‘I just hope they keep the statue out of the way.’ Discord thought as he flew into the air.

After he had imprisoned Sombra within the statue it seemed a group wearing hazmat suits had took the statue. Discord attempted to ask them about it. ‘“Don’t worry we are taking it and whatever is in it to a secured facility away.” one of them said.

As things seemed calm Discord decided to take some time off. Landing on a tree in the park he decided to get himself some alone time with his own thoughts. ‘Ok so recap of my time here, I find strange metal cube, which is really a mother box, get sent to strange world become a superhero, and now Sombra was here as well.’

“Hey you got a second?” Discord turned down to see Superman wearing a suit and glasses?

“Superman?” Discord asked floating down. Superman pulled him back away from anyone to hear them.

“Don’t say that you’ll blow my cover, and it’s Clark, Clark Kent.” Clark said.

The two sat in a slow dinner as the only two there Discord was looking at the menu. ‘Strange a lot of Equestria dishes are on the menu, though given humans are omnivores it’s likely there’s meat.’ Discord thought putting it down he looked at “Superman” or as Discord now found out Clark Kent.

Clark was his real name it seemed while Superman was a alias. “So I’m literally the only one who a hero twenty four seven?” Discord asked has he started to play with the knife.

“Well yes, though I think you do need to sleep don’t you?” Clark asked.

“Well… yes, kinda.” Discord said, when he used to be at full power he could remove that pesky limitation. However he needed it now to conserve energy, “Ok enough about this why are you in Everfree anyway?”

“I was sent to get a interview with you, the whole crystal disaster was over the news as was a video of you fighting a shadow.” Clark answered.

Discord thought about that. He should have realized that his fight with Sombra would be videotaped by anyone with a phone. Which he suspected was most people. “Well why not, how about I get us something to eat while we do this, I take your hungry?”

“Not really no.” Discord put down the menu. “Fair enough I eat on the way here.” Clark raised a eyebrow at this. “What what you guys call junk and Trash I call lunch.” Discord leaned on the table. “So where do you want to start? Where I come from? What am I? Or about who that was attacking the city?”

“Let’s start off with you and where you come from.”

“Alright I come from a dimension that is steeped magic, Equis is it’s current name though others call it different things, as for what I am, I was the Spirit of Chaos my job if you could call it that was to prevent stagnation, though my powers were also a curse.” Discord said as he picked up the spoon.

“A curse how?” Clark asked.

“Chaos can if you're not careful remove you from the world around you, you start to lose your sense of what you are and what’s going on, in other words if your sense of self isn’t strong then you lose yourself to madness.” Discord put it back down.

“You're not insane now right?” Clark asked.

“Oh no not at all, I had some help getting back some of my sanity wasn’t long till I got it all back, I’ll never make that mistake again.” Discord answered.

“Ok so could you tell a bit about yourself?”

“Well lets see I’m last I checked five thousand three hundred and fifty years old, but that’s really when I stopped having birthdays after that long it was safe to say I was for all intents and purposes immortal.” Discorr stated, “As for family? I have none.”

“So no mother or father?”

“If you can count magic as a mother then yes if not then no.”

“Alright not then that Shadow creature I take it you know who he was?”

“Of course I do, he was from the same dimension as me. His name is Sombra he the last son on the Umbrum a race of dark fairies if you will of course that’s a loose comparison. Sombra was the ruler of the Crystal Empire, of course he was a tyrant to his subjects.”

“I take it he was overthrown?”

“Yes but not by the inhabitants of the Empire, the strangest thing is, he should be dead he was imprisoned under frozen ice and blown to pieces, seems the rumors of Umbrum being able to survive death might have bases after all.”

“So do you have any idea  how both of you got here?”

“For me yes random wormhole caused by playing with a piece of strange technology, Sombra? Who knows maybe the force of the blast tossed him though time and space.” Discord had a smile. “I doubt it though.”

A small tendril of shadow moved across the corners using the shadows to hide. It had hitched a ride on the van that went to dispose of the statue. Now it was moving around this building. A doors opened as the last of the workers went home. In that moment it passed right through and into the room. The shadow slowly grew in form and said one word. “Yes.” A small army of robots were right in front of it.

A dark laugh echoed through LexCorp that night.
