Regret and Vengeance
A New Mission
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDiscord was wandering the border of Equestria. He had no idea where to go. He knew he was being tracked down by B.Sunshine. His power had been reduced by the scar. He hated that scare. It was a reminder of what he did. He hated what he had done. He hated what he did. He hated what he was. He hated what he had become.
Twilight and the mane six were now walking in a place they had never seen before. It was beautiful. There were fields of flowers, there was a waterfall, and mountains covered in luscious green grass.
"Where are we?" asked Twilight.
"It's beautiful." Said Fluttershy.
"Indeed it is." Said a voice behind them.
They turned around and saw an alicorn. He had a flowing yellow sparkling mane and tail. His coat was white but it glowed brightly. It would have been blinding but for some reason it's not. It's like seeing light in its true form.
"Who are y'all?" Asked Applejack with astonishment.
"I am Sulunar, former king of Equestria." After saying that the Mane six gasped. "And you must be the ones that the prophecy has foretold."
"Prophecy?" asked Rarity.
"The prophecy of the six ponies destined to show the world the true meaning of friendship. And the ones to guide the chosen one."
"Who is the chosen one?"
"Let me start at the beginning." He casted a spell at a pond. The poned revealed a picture.
"Think of this as a movie."
Thousands of years ago. A colt was in a cave crying at the lose of his parents. He was a unicorn with, a mohawked styled mane, his coat was a light brown. His eyes were unique. Where there was supposed to be white, it was yellow and they were red. He had a sharp bucked tooth as well.
“Is that Discord!? Why is he a pony?" Asked Pinkie Pie.
"He wasn't always a Draconequus. And back then he was Sidroc."
Sidroc was lying down in a cave. His village was attacked by a group of the dishonored ones, otherwise known as the Draconequus. They are ponies that was cursed by the king, for dishonoring the kingdom. Some of them formed a resistance group. They burned and pillaged pony civilisations. One of them went into Sidroc's home and he killed his parents. Sidroc barely escaped into a cave.
Sidroc was founded by a group of guards. They told him that the king wanted to see him. Sidroc went with the guards and he found himself in the royal castle. He meet the king. He told Sidroc that he was destined for greatness. The proof of that was his magic. It was not like anypony else's magic. He can summon whatever he wants at will, he can change objects into other things, and bend reality itself. Sidroc became the king's pupil to learn how to control his power and use it for good.
100 years had passed. Sidroc learned many things, he recently discovered that the king had a 4 year old daughter named Celestia. Sidroc became her very first friend. They pulled pranks with his power and Sidroc taught her things he learned from the king. 3 years later the Queen gave birth to another filly named Luna. But she died in childbirth, the kingdom was left to mourn.
Sidroc had a family as well. He had a wife named Emerald wind and a son named Flame Rider.
Emerald Wind was a green Pegasus with a brown stylish mane, her cutie mark was an Emerald with wings. Flame rider was an orange unicorn with mane that looked like fire, his cutie mark was a fire burning brightly. Sidroc didn't have a cutie mark for some reason. Sidroc built a city around where his house was and named the city Manehattan. However the city was being attacked by the resistance. Meanwhile he was at the castle playing with the princesses. Back at the city. There were burning building and crys for help. It was a living nightmare. Sidroc came back and saw the city destroyed. He saw corpses everywhere, of both ponies and draconequus.
He ran to his house, to see if his family was okay. Emerald Wind was found dead on the floor, Flame Rider was nowhere in sight. He ran outside and saw his son lying down with corpses of Draconoquises surrounding him. Sidroc ran up to Flame Rider and he carried him in his hooves.
"I'm sorry father I tried to save them. But I failed." That was his last words.
Sidroc was beyond angry. He swore vengeance. He hunted down every single Draconequus and he killed them. He promised to drive them extinct. An eventually he did. This was the wrong thing to do, some of them hardly did anything wrong. A Draconequus was meant to one day redeem him or herself, but now that can't happen. Sidroc dishonored the kingdom and thus he turned into a Draconequus.
Sidroc was more mad than ever. His teacher the king and the first one to ever care for him had turned him into the thing that he hated ever since he first saw one. The Draconequus killed both his parents then his wife and son, and now he is one. In Sidroc's eyes Draconequus brought nothing but chaos, and now that they're gone, he was punished, it was madness.
"If he wants chaos I'll give him chaos."
And chaos he brought in his own way. Rather than pillaging villages, he used his power for his own entertainment. He turned clouds into cotton candy, he turned towns upside down, and so much more.
King Soluner and Sidroc meet face to face. Celestia and Luna are now hiding somewhere unknown to Sidroc. It was a long and hard-fought battle, However Sidroc proved to much. Solunar had a vision of the future. He saw Sidroc being turned to stone by his daughters, he saw Nightmare moon, he saw Chrysalis, he saw Sombra, he saw Tirek, he saw Sidroc returning twice, however the second time he saw the light again thanks to six ponies. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy. He also saw Celestia changing into Black Sunshine, and his final vision was Sidroc and Black Sunshine meeting for the final battle. "You won't always be how you are right now, you must fulfill your destiny." He said to Sidroc, And then the king disappeared.
Sidroc took his place and he continued to use his chaos throughout the land. He felt like he was in paradise.
"Who would have thought that chaos can be so much fun." He said to himself.
"I think I should have a new name for myself, hmm what should be. I know how about Discord, it's catchy and it's my old name switched around a bit. It's perfect! I am Discord the spirit of chaos! I'm god, hahahahahaha!"
"Oh my. He told me he never wanted talk about his past, I never thought that it would so horrible." Said Fluttershy
"Wow I never thought that Discord even had a heart but he had a family and he lost it." Said Rarity.
"My past and his actually sounded similar at first but then it went downhill. He was your student?" Twilight asked.
"Yes he was. And your right your past and his are similar, I'll bet that if things turned out a little differently you would've become just like him."
Discord was sitting on a rock thinking, 'Strange, I don't feel like causing chaos anymore, maybe their deaths affected me more then I thought, maybe I'm just sick of it and I haven't realized it yet.'
Then suddenly a changeling appeared out of a tree. He looked beaten up, like he just got out of a fight.
"You on the rock you have to help me, its the ponies they attacked us please help me."
'Doesn't he know who I am, even if he didn't why would he still. Is he that desperate?' Discord thought. "Fine, lead the way."
The Changeling ran back the way he came and Discord followed. They ran and ran and ran until they found the hive. It was messy. There was dead bodies everywhere. The smell was terrible.
"Oh no. The queen! Where's the queen!" The Changeling said.
The Changeling looked and looked but he eventually found Chrysalis. She was at the brink of death. She was breathing heavily and her breathing was slow. She opened her eyes and said
"A survivor?" Then she look to the right and saw Discord. "D-discord? She was looking for you."
Discord knew exactly who "she" was.
'But why? Why would she do this?' Then a memory hit him like a slap in the face. He did the same thing to the old draconequuses, long ago, he realized what he did was wrong when he reformed. But to actually see it…..
'Desiring Vengeance really can push you far.'
"What happened?” He asked even though he already knew.
Chrysalis was getting a tear in her eye, "They killed us, they killed us all. I begged for mercy but she wouldn't listen. She also said she's going to do the same thing to all of the nations that are not allied with her." Tears were now falling out like a waterfall.
"I know I did bad things but, I was just doing it for my changelings, we were starving, I just wanted to save them. But I failed them. Your heart, I can sense that it is not the same as it was before, you changed. Discord you have to stop her, for my Changelings and for everyone I b-beg y-you p-please p-please p-please." And like that she died.
"Your majesty no!" The Changeling wept over the loss of his queen.
"Chrysalis, you didn't deserve this." Said Discord, he used his magic to create a hole to bury her in and summon a tombstone to mark her grave, he ignored the tiredness he was gaining and he proceeded to bury her. When he filled up the hole, he put the tombstone on top of it and carved the words. Rest in peace.
'Now I know I've changed from who I was a few months ago.'
The Changeling was mad. He slammed his hooves on the ground. "Those ponies are going to pay for this! I'll kill them!”
"No, Vengeance is not the answer. Believe me I know. I dealt with something similar long ago, I had vengeance but In the end I suffered even more."
"What do I do now?” I'm the last changeling. I don't know what to do."
Discord was thinking. "For now just stick with me."
"Alright I will. What's your name?”
"I'm Di- no I'm Sidroc."
"I’m Wasp.”
"Alright let's go Wasp."
'If I don't stop her who will?' Sidroc thought to himself.
