Discord Visits Some Other 'Baddies'
Trixie sighed, rummaging through the cupboards of her wagon, looking for some food to eat. I really need to go shopping..., she thought to herself. Giving up, she flopped down onto her couch/bed, heaving a sigh. She closed her eyes, sighing again as her stomach rumbled. She was almost asleep when a sudden flash of white light made her jump.
She shielded her face with her hooves. "I'm sorry! Whatever it was, I'm pretty sure I paid for the damage! Don't take me to prison!", she shouted, her eyes still closed.
"Yeesh, I didn't realize you were that jumpy. My bad.", Discord sneered, giggling a bit at the flailing Trixie.
Trixie lowered her hooves, slowly turning her head and opening her eyes. She looked at Discord in confusion. "Do I know you?", she asked.
Discord shook his head. "But I know you.", he held out his paw. "Name's Discord. It's nice to finally meet you, Trixie."
Trixie tipped her head, looking at the draconequus, still slightly confused. She slowly stretched out her hoof, and shook hands with Discord. She let out a yelp when she felt a shock in her hoof. Discord burst out in laughter, looking to his lion paw, which had a prank buzzer attached to it. He looked at it, smiling. "Whoops, must have forgot about that little guy...", he remarked, and with a snap of his claw, the buzzer turned into a piece of candy. He tossed it to Trixie, who managed to catch it in her hooves.
Trixie looked at the candy, suspicious of it. "Thanks...."
Discord smiled. "No problem.
Starlight Glimmer was busy in the library of Twilight's castle, organizing books in their various shelves. Sighing, she placed a book in it's place with a hoof. I wish I could just use my magic. It would get done do much easier..., she grumbled in her head. Twilight had told her to organize the books manually, without magic, for a friendship lesson, or whatever. Starlight had to use a ladder to get up to where she was now, and a sudden white flash almost made her fall off of it. She turned, to see Discord looking up at her, cocking his head.
"Discord?", Starlight asked, surprised, "Is it that time of week already?"
Discord shook his head. "No, not quite yet. Don't tell Twilight, but I'll be here tomorrow. Make sure she puts plenty of goodies in her fridge.", he replied.
Starlight rolled her eyes, heaving a sigh. Discord normally came along at least once a week to the castle, to either bother Twilight, or raid her fridge. She never understood why he did that, but then again, he was Discord. Nopony knows why he does anything.
"So why are you here, then?"
Discord smiled his mischievous smile. "To help you, of course."
Starlight tipped her head. "Why?"
"Because I want to."
Starlight looked down at Discord, confused. "O-okay, then.."
Discord let out a giggle before he snapped his claw. With a flash of light, all the books in the library were reorganized.
Flim and Flam made their way down the long road, on their way to Appleloosa. There, they hoped to get some more ponies to buy some of their products. The cities they had been through last had all turned them down, and almost quite literally through them out. The two brothers were sweaty, because of the hot air, and the heavy load they were dragging behind them: their infamous sales wagon.
Flim looked over to his brother. "Brother, couldn't we have simply taken the train?"
Flam shook his head. "Sadly, brother, no. We can't take the wagon on a train."
"Yet they let somepony take a tree onto the train?"
Flam sighed. "Brother, that was a couple years ago. Rules have changed since then."
"Boy oh boy, you two look simply awful.", a new voice behind them remarked.
Flim and Flam simultaneously turned their heads. "Who's there?", they asked in unison.
Discord teleported in front of them, looked at them and their wagon. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You two have no idea how to travel."
Flim narrowed his eyes. "I beg your pardon?"
"What I mean is, this cart looks terrible! And the weight! Your backs must be exhausted!", the draconequus remarked, circling the wagon, looking it over in disapproval.
Flim and Flam looked at Discord with narrowed eyes.
"I could solve your little dilemma, if you'd like..."
The brothers rolled their eyes, and for some reason, both nodded.
"Great!", Discord snapped his claw, and with a flash, the wagon had changed completely. The wheels were much taller, the luggage was neatly organized, and all the unnecessary weight had been discarded.
The brothers started to pull the cart again, surprised at finding it much lighter.
"Thank you!", they called to a waving Discord, who watched them walk away.
"....and that's the basis of what I did today.", Discord had finished.
Chrysalis looked at him, unconvinced. "You didn't prank them at all?"
Discord scoffed. "Of course I did! Trixie's candy was very spicy, the books I organized for Starlight were all misplaced, and the Flim Flam brothers' cart exploded just as they got into Appleloosa!"
Chrysalis sighed. "Why am I not surprised..?"
The Reincarnation of the Evil Moonbutt
"We're here!", Discord sang as the flash of light around him faded. He turned, facing the three other villains he had brought with him: Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and Tirek. His three 'companions' all looked around their new location, confused. The four villains were in the center of a church, or more accurately, an old building that has obviously been hated by the demon that is time. Mold and plant life grew on the walls, vines and such coming in through large cracks in the brick of the building. A large hole in the roof let in a few beams of moonlight.
Chrysalis heaved a sigh. "For the love of... Why are we in an abandoned church, Discord?", she asked, confusion and frustration in her tone.
Discord wrapped his paw around the changeling queen. "Don't you remember that conversation we had the other day, Chryssie?", he asked.
"No, but I assume we're getting a flashback..."
Discord sat in the chair of his house, the other three villains there with him. Tirek sat down on the couch, reading to himself, Sombra looked around, confused as usual, while Chrysalis sat across from Discord, the two deep in conversation.
"Wait, wait, wait.... what?", the queen was saying.
"On the full moon, we're going to reincarnate our friend Nightmare. Jeez, it's not that hard to figure out, Chryssie.", Discord replied.
"But why? And why do we have to come?"
"To answer both questions, I love to make you and our other friends miserable."
Chrysalis groaned. "That figures."
Tirek spoke up from where he was sitting. "I'm going to take a wild guess here, but I'm assuming that we're going to reincarnate Nightmare Moon specifically because you know for a fact that Chrysalis can't stand her. Right, Discord?"
Discord gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Oh, Tirek, you know me so well."
"I wish I didn't..", the centaur muttered under his breath.
Chrysalis put a holed hoof to her face. "Why didn't I see this coming?"
"I don't know, but you should have.", Discord replied, holding back a laugh.
Chrysalis simply rolled her eyes. Meanwhile, Sombra was looking around, confused.
"Where are we again? And why are we here?", he asked, confused.
Discord put his paw to his forehead. "I swear, he's only gotten dumber since we brought him back..."
Tirek cleared his throat, looking to Discord. "So, Discord, can you tell us how exactly we're going to reincarnate Nightmare?"
Discord stood tall, making a short list appear in his talon, and a pair of circular glasses appeared on his snout as well. He gave a mischievous look to the other three villains. "I've got a few ideas."
Chrysalis narrowed her eyes. "So are you saying you don't know how to bring her back?"
Discord rolled his eyes. "Of course I know how! I just don't know what method to go with... Maybe the 'Past Sins' method? No... we'd need to be a cult for that to work..."
Tirek spoke up again. "We could do what we did with Sombra.."
Discord shook his head. "No, I want Moony, not a duplicate of that doofus.", he grumbled. Suddenly, Discord snapped his fingers.
"I've got it!", the draconequus exclaimed, while Tirek and Chrysalis exchanged a doubtful glance. With a snap of his claw, a cloud of blueish colored smoke appeared, blotting out everyone's vision.
As soon as the smoke cleared, the four villains saw the form of a familiar black alicorn. Chrysalis' eyes widened. "Oh, no...", she muttered.
Nightmare Moon looked around, confused. She lifted each of her hooves, a bit wobbly after years of being non-existent. She turned her head to Discord and the others, narrowing her eyes. "So you four brought me back to life..."
Chrysalis shot a glare at Nightmare. "Technically, it was just him...", she growled, pointing to Discord.
Discord smiled. "Well, gee, thanks for giving me all the credit, Chryssie!", he turned, patting her on the head, causing the changeling to let out a hiss.
Nightmare looked up at Discord. "Why did you bring me back, Discord?", she asked.
Discord shrugged. "Because I wanted to."
Tirek looked at Nightmare Moon, a bit confused. "So all you had to do was snap your claw then, Discord? What was the point of teleporting us to this church, at night, might I add, then?"
Discord shrugged again. "I thought it would be more ceremonial."
Tirek looked at Chrysalis, who looked just as irritated as he felt.
Sombra tipped his head. "So that's Nightmare Moon...."
Chrysalis and Tirek facehoofed simultaneously.
Sombra looked over to them, a confused look on his face. "What? You've met her before?"
"You did as well, idiot.", Tirek retorted.
"I did?"
"Yes. You did.", Chrysalis hissed.
