The King of Chaos

Discord stumbled around the conversation. He tried to stay innocent in the eyes of the princesses, but staying innocent after such a gross display of darkness is almost impossible. Celestia shook her head as she walked to Luna’s side.

“Sister… I think you may have been right.” She said, not being careful of who was listening.

“Right about what?” Discord asked. Celestia started stuttering and Luna sighed.

“Discord, you’re dangerous, we need to know how we can trust you with this kind of power.” Luna said. Discord frowned.

“What, you think I’m going to try to overthrow you? Why that deeply wounds me! I couldn’t dream of hurting you two!” He said, becoming angry. Discord was brimming with hurt; he loved the sisters more than himself. They had been his first friends, and now they say they can’t trust him. He frowned and teleported out. As he appeared in a cave, Abyss appeared.

“You see Discord? Friendship is false; you always end up hurt either way. To think you loved them, but what is love if it is not returned?” He said, smiling at the chaotic creature. Discord nodded in defeat.

“Chaos though, that is true magic. It brings all things together in a shaky relationship. And you could rule it all Discord, I gave you the power.” Abyss said, smiling as his creation’s confusion. Discord then smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I see what you mean, chaos is amusing and fun! Now that I understand that, I won’t be needing you!” He shouted and Abyss frowned. “What do you mean?!” Abyss howled as Discord snapped his finger. Abyss was dragged back to hell.

“NOOOOOOO, YOU WILL PAY!” Abyss screamed, thrashing around. As the last of Abyss disappeared, Discord smiled.

“Now to cause general mayhem and chaos!” Discord said, smiling as His magic spilled over the hills of Equestria. Celestia and Luna were shocked as chaos was running rampant through Equestria. Discord overthrew the sisters in one day and one move. He now sat on a gilded throne, controlling all the chaos. Celestia and Luna tried raising a rebellion as they had for Abyss, but nopony really ‘Hated’ Discord as they had Abyss. After all, Discord didn’t take their freedom; he wasn’t cruel to them as Abyss was. Their efforts were fruitless, until they remembered the crystals that they had discovered seemingly so long ago. They gathered Starswirl and the rest of the elders to the tree of harmony.

“Everypony, this is our dire hour. We must take back Equestria!” Celestia announced, walking to the tree of harmony.

“Sister, are you sure we must do this? These crystals sustain the tree.” Luna said, looking up at the tree. Celestia nodded.

“Now that we have discovered the only thing able to defeat Discord, we must utilize it posthaste! Do not worry, as long as the elements survive, the tree will continue to control the living creatures here.” Celestia said, getting the crystals down from the tree. They walked to Discord’s throne and saw him eating seeds. Celestia stepped up with Luna.

“Oh goodie, my two favorite ponies, want something to eat? Hm?” Seeing the princesses’ stoic expression He shrugged.

“More for me.” He said, continuing to munch on seeds. Luna frowned.

“We are here to defeat you Discord, with these!” She brought up the crystals and Discord laughed, forgetting his first encounter with one of them.

“D-defeat me?! W-with those?! Oh Luna, you always did crack me up, but that was hysterical!” He shouted, still doubling over with laughter. Celestia frowned and signaled Luna. They started to power up the crystal; as Discord was laughing they shot the beam of harmony at him. He screamed as he slowly turned to stone. Abyss shouted.

“Damn it… at least my son still has some sense.” He said, looking over his son’s steady preparations for domination.
