Antagonist Stories I Decide to Write

"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.
