Author's Note

So, just for warnings sake. This chapter will be a bit.. On the Dark side. More so on the second half, but anyhow..
This chapter will be written in the third person (for the most part), I think it came out better this way.

Jokes? Or Chaos? Time is of the Essence!

----Twilight's Home: Hazama's Room----

The sun peaked its light through the window, as it seemed to focus on Hazama's eyes. A low grunt came from him, as he quickly shifted from his slumber and rolled to the edge of his bed. He rubbed his eyes groggily as he yawned, an eye creaking open slightly.

"Sweet Celestia, I haven't slept like that in ages. In fact I barely sleep at all-" He stopped himself short, as his cracked eye opened a bit wider. His mouth formed a thin line, as he looked at his hand, before he placed it on the bed. He let out a withered sigh, as his eye closed.

"I bucking hate magic..." He mumbled, his eyebrow quirking slightly. "Really? Ponyfeathers!" He gently stood from the bed, doing his best to maintain his balance. "I can't swear? What kind of bucking nonsense is that?" He muttered, as he made his way through the open door to the bathroom. He leaned up to the mirror, and took a hard, long, look at his reflection.

In the mirror stood a Stallion with a White coat. He looked quite thin, almost like a Mare. A black fedora hat resting on his head, as a trail of short, Green hair led down his back laying flat like his normal hair. He wore his signature Black coat, and vest, with the dark blue undershirt from rarity still there. He was however, lacking his pants. Which allowed him to see the cutie mark on his flank. A Green chain looped around in a sideways Eight, Overlapping a Joker card. He looked carefully on his back and forehead, and sighed in relief when he noticed that he was just a simple earth pony.

"At least I'm not a Celestia damned Gary-Stu. I like who I am thanks you very much.." He mumbled to himself. He turned to leave the bathroom, and smiled lightly. "Well then, lets see how this will work out." Hazama chuckled as he made his way down the stairs. Which, almost tripped him up. He had to take his time, but he seemed to be getting the hang of walking on all fours. At the bottom of the stairs, he noted the sound of pans being moved around in the kitchen area. He walked in, to see Spike holding a small tower of different pots and pans. Next to a full sink of water.

"What's up Spike?" He asked, watching the small drake jump at his words. A single movement brought the pans tumbling into the sink.

"Aww man! I just dried those!" Spike groaned. He turned to look at Hazama. "Dude, you totally have to warn-" He seemed to trail off as he looked at him. Spike's mouth flapping open and closed as he pointed to Hazama.

"Yeah, my thoughts exactly." Hazama deadpanned. He looked around, still not being used to how everything looked at a smaller size.

"What?" Spike sputtered a bit. "What happened to you?" He asked.

"The buck if I know dude.." Hazama scowled a little at the swear word. "I just woke up like this." He made a motion with a hoof.

"Woke up like what?" Twilight's voice called from the other side of the room. Hazama flinched back slightly, as he prepared for Twilight's freak out. He heard a gasp, but nothing else. When he looked over to Twilight, he was surprised. She stood there with her mouth agape like Spike did, but it was more the very prominent blush on her face. When you can blush through Purple, you know you're trying too hard.

"Gah!" Hazama yipped in pain, as his right hoof started to shine and burn. "Wha? NO! Nono!" He turned to Twilight, and waved at her franticly. "Twi, I need your help!" When she didn't answer, he turned to Spike. "Can you help me here?" He pleaded.

"Oh no, this is way to funny. I've never seen Twilight blush before!" Spike was laughing hard.

"Your very helpful!" Hazama growled, as he turned back to Twilight, who was still stuck in 'stare' mode. Her eyes roving over him like she was studying him. Her blush intensified, if that was even possible.

"Oh fine, I'll be back when you calmed down." Hazama walked to the front door, and opened it with his mouth. "And stop staring at my flank! It's creepy!" He said, as he slammed the door with a hind leg. He started his way to the only pony he knew would be able to help him.

----Sweet Apple Acres----

"Oh come on!" Hazama's voice carried over the apple tree farm. He sprinted around a tree, keeping his head low to try to keep his momentum.

"Get back here ya varmint!" Applejack's voice called from behind him. He dove to the right just in time to dodge a lasso, as it zipped by his head. However, he didn't see the tree in front of him, as he slammed into it full force..

And the tree fell over as he fell backwards, scattering the apples on it all over the place.

"Consarnit! That's another tree ya owe me!" Applejack's voice rang through his head, as he rubbed his forehead. "Ya'll okay sugarcube?" Applejack's voice was laced with concern, as she sat down next to him. She watched as the Green haired stallion gently shook his head free of cobwebs.

"Yeah, yeah. It didn't hurt as much as you think. Or at all for that matter. It was just the jarring motion that caught me by surprise." Applejack nodded, as she leveled a heavy glare at Hazama.

"Now, why did ya'll run away? Ya said something about needing help, than ya ran away! How's a mare gonna help if ya run away?" She asked, her glare subsiding slightly, as she lightly punched Hazama in the arm. He just sat there, mouth in a thin line, as he raised a hoof into the air. Said hoof was glowing, and the symbol of the Princesses could be seen.

"Magic doesn't lie, AJ. I ran because this ponified version of me apparently makes all you ponies fall head over hoofs for me. My case in point, the same thing happened to Twilight." Hazama glared at his glowing hoof.

"How does that mean-" Applejack tried asking a question.

"I did say it was magic, that's all that needs to be said." Hazama grunted as he stood up.

"Now listen here sugarcube! Magic ain't ever gonna tell me who to love, you got me?" She almost shouted. A second later, her face erupted into a shade of red, as she started to stutter her words.

"Love huh?" Hazama muttered, as he turned to Applejack. The mare gulped slightly at the serious face he had on. "Applejack, just yesterday I asked you, if you like me. And you replied with complete honesty that you had no such feelings for me. So either you were lying, which doesn't seem right, oh Element of Honesty, or my new pony form has made you drastically change your outlook of me." He said, making sure to stare into her eyes, with his own slightly cracked open one. The Golden iris peered into her very soul. Applejack sat there, thinking about what was said. Her ears splayed back, as she realized he was right.

"Oh, sugarcube.." She whispered. She watched as Hazama started walking away.

"Just do me a favor, and meet up at Twilight's. Maybe explain to her what's happening?" He asked calmly. Applejack simply nodded her head, and began her gallop toward Twilight's as Hazama made his way to Fluttershy's.

---With Applejack---

Applejack rushed into the library, breathing heavy from the sudden exertion.

"Twi, we got a problem!" She called out.

"I know, Hazama is a pony." Twilight spoke from behind her desk. She was furiously scribbling on a piece of parchment.

"It's not just that, there's some kind of magic goin on that makes ponies like him more." Applejack said, pushing a few books out of the way, so she could lean onto the table.

"Yes, I figured that would be the case. Since I saw him this morning, I haven't been able to think straight. Since I cant do it, I'm messaging the Princesses about it, maybe they can help us." She finished her message, and quickly zapped it with a teleportation spell. She didn't have time to wait for Spike to come back with Rarity.

"Do ya'll rekon the Princesses will be able to help?" Applejack asked.

*Poof*

In a flash of white light, stood both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. They both had the same look of worry on they're faces.

"Where is he?" Celestia asked quickly.

"There isn't much time!" Luna said, equally as quickly. Twilight looked at her mentor with a confused look.

"What's wrong Princess?" Twilight asked Celestia. However, it wasn't either that answered for her.

*Boom!*

The Princesses flinched as a small Green mushroom cloud erupted from the outskirts of Ponyville.

"He's not too fond of crowds." Luna stated simply as they all began racing to the edge of town.

---With Hazama: A Few Minutes Ago---

Hazama looked around, and noted the ever increasing amount of mares poking they're heads in his direction. He let out another withered sigh as he made his way to Fluttershy's house. H walked up to her door and knocked. His hoof rapping on the door rather hard. He winced at the loud noise, still not quite used to how hard these hooves where. The door opened slightly, then opened fully, as Fluttershy pulled him in quickly.

Before he could get a word out, he was silenced by a plush yellow hoof softly pressed against his mouth. He looked to see a smiling Fluttershy, a slight blush on her face.

"It's okay. Ophis told me about what was happening." As she said that, the Green Copperhead snake flung from Fluttershy's back, and coiled around Hazama's longer neck. Ophis nuzzled the side of his cheek, as she hissed out.

{Brother pony now. Okay right?} She asked him, in a worried tone. Hazama chuckled, his face calming considerably as he gently rubbed her head with a hoof.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Confused, and angry, but otherwise fine." He looked to Fluttershy, her wings stretching slightly, as her face slowly flushed more and more. His right hoof began to burn again, and he sighed.

"What your feeling right now is a result of whatever magic was used in making me a pony Flutters. I need you to focus, and think. Did you feel the same way about me yesterday? Look deep." His face was full of a deep hope. Fluttershy seemed to flinch back, as she thought on his words, and she started to cower a bit.

"O-oh, I'm so sorry Hazama. You just look so.. Handsome." Hazama sighed, as he turned to leave.

"J-just get to Twilight's. I need your help-" His attention was grabbed by the sight of at least Three mares heads looking in through the window. He growled a bit as he made his way to the door, and opened it. He had to quickly close it, due to the mass of mares that tried to grab him. He growled even louder, as he turned around, and bucked the door. It was almost like he moved on impulse. The door broke off its hinge and shot out into Fluttershy's front yard. He raced out and took note of the fact that almost the entire population of mares from Ponyville..Even some of the Stallions, were standing around him in a wide arc. They all looked happy to see him, all sporting a blush.

"Go away!" Hazama yelled, green energy coming out in wisps from his body.

"Hazama! We love you!" Some of the mares to his right rushed him, tackling into his side.

"G-get away.." His body was shaking.

"Have my foals!" Another set of mares called from his left, as they collided with his other side. The remaining mares had started fighting the others for a spot next to him.

"Get away.." His eyes were cracked open and his pupils were pinpricks, starting to glow a soft green.

"Get off, he's mine!" Some of the others jumped on top of the pile that resided around Hazama.

"Get away!" Hazama howled out as a surge of green energy pulsed out from his body. The pulse knocked every pony away from him, but it stopped about Twenty feet away, the energy floating there for a second. Suddenly the energy rushed back towards Hazama, upon contact with him, it exploded. A small mushroom cloud of Green energy blew up into the sky, shaking the ground slightly.

When the Green smoke dissipated, Hazama stood there, in a small crater, panting. The ponies that were surrounding him lay strewn about unconscious. Surprisingly, Fluttershy's house was still standing, albeit having a few windows blown out and a wall being cracked.

"Hazama!" Fluttershy rushed outside, but stopped as she looked to her friend. Ophis slithered her way up Fluttershy's leg, and sat on her back as they both stared.

Hazama stood in the crater, his body covered in small cuts. His sides heaving with heavy breaths, even as they shuddered from some pain. She made a step to walk over to her friend and help, but was stopped by Pinkie's voice.

"Nono, You can't go near him right now." Pinkie had appeared next to Fluttershy and had held up a hoof to hold Fluttershy back. "Hazie.." She whispered, concern lacing her voice. Another set of voices got her attention.

"He's over here!" The raspy voice of Rainbow called out, over the small crater. Pinkie watched as the rest of her friends and even her Herd mates came as well. Rainbow made to fly over to Hazama, but was stopped by a Golden glow. Celestia placed her down, and nodded towards Luna.

"Hazama, honey, I need you to calm down." Luna's voice was soft as silk, like she was trying to talk down a suicidal pony. She didn't get a response. She watched, along with the rest of the group, as Hazama's cuts began leaking Green energy, a slight sizzling could be heard as Hazama whimpered slightly.

"What's happening Princess?" Twilight asked Celestia, as Luna continued to try talking to Hazama.

"Its as I feared." She turned her attention to her student. "When you stated in your letter that Hazama had turned into a pony, I was originally excited, and wanted to come as fast as possible. But as I gathered my sister, I noticed you didn't mention anything about him having a horn." She waited to see if her student got what the problem was. She was not disappointed as Twilight grew more worried than ever before. Before she could praise her, the others chimed in.

"So what's wrong with the poor feller?" Applejack asked, also worried.

"Yeah, I've seen the big guy take some serious damage before, what's so wrong about now? There isn't even anything attacking!" Rainbow asked, frantic to help the human turned pony.

"No, there is something attacking him." Twilight said, looking to her friends, as Fluttershy and Pinkie entered the group. "As a human he had an amazing amount of magic. In fact it was its density that made it so he could match the Princesses. Now, as a pony, all his magic is kept inside an even smaller body. Normally, the crystal he embedded in himself would override any extra magic, and store it for use of his abilities and such. However, that crystal was designed by himself to house the maximum amount of magic his human body could hold. The crystal has been overloading his body since he turned, and it won't stop." She stopped to look over, as Hazama let out a small cry as more Green energy pulsed out of his body, before zipping back and exploding again. The blast was similar to the last, and made the others wince at his outcry of pain.

"..We believe his body is now trying to expel the extra energy, even though he doesn't have a horn. At the same time, the crystal refuses to let the magic go to waste, and calls it back, causing the explosions you see. Him not liking crowds simply gave his magic a reason to come out in the first place." Celestia finished for her student. She turned back and walked up to where Luna stood.

"Hazama, honey you need to let your magic go, stop trying to control it." Celestia said, as she flared her magic up. Her words reached Hazama's ears, but had the opposite affect she desired. His eyes widened slightly as he looked around.

"Are you insane?!" He hissed. "The only reason Ponyville is still on the map is my control!" He growled in restrained anger.

"Quite, so keep your anger in check old boy." A voice called out from the sky. Everypony in the area that was awake looked up quickly and gasped.

"Discord?!" Celestia questioned, already gathering magic for a quick teleport. With a snap of his finger a brown and red barrier formed around the party.

"Yes, it's me." He seemed to be a bit.. off. With another snap, the magic in Celestia's horn dissipated, as did the magic that Luna had been gathering in secret. "Do you know what it's like to be trapped in stone, with nothing but your own mind to keep you entertained feels like?" Discord asked suddenly, his voice plain, none of the playful tone from before. When no one answered, he simply shook his head. He looked to Hazama.

"You my friend, were supposed to be my help. Instead you made me lose my leg!" He cried out in anger. "Sure I can get another, but its the principal of it! I won't replace it until your dead." He ended it in a flat tone. Luna ran up and got in front of Hazama, who was still cringing in pain as his magic seeped from his wounds.

"You will do no such thing!" Luna glared at Discord. He simply sat there as he hung in the air, with his arms crossed. With another snap, a wave of earth shot up and plowed into Luna's side, pushing her away. Hazama's eyes hardened in anger, as they flashed a dark green. His shadow started to pulse, as his hat started to fade out.

"You see, I'm done with playing nice. I want my throne back." Discord said, as he drew his attention from the ponies, and back to Hazama. "No, you don't get a say in this." The bored tone of his voice, was betrayed by the anger in his eyes. With a snap, a spear of light shot out, and plunged into Hazama's shadow. With a bright flash, the shadow vanished, and Hazama held his head as he let out a scream.

Behind him, another scream came from the ponies side, as Luna screamed, and gripped her chest. In an explosion of Blue and Black magic, she fell to the ground with a thud, her eyes gazing off into the distance, as the light left them.

"Hmm?" Discord hummed to himself, as he looked over to Luna's body. "It seems that if you destroy the shadow, the body falls as well." He chuckled darkly, as he turned back to Hazama. He glanced at the ponified human's non existent shadow curiously. He floated closer to the now shaking man. "How is it that your shadow is gone, yet you're not?" The curiosity was laced with venom. He watched as Hazama's hoof raced towards his hat. With a snap of his fingers the pony was held in glowing chains, the chains glowing a faint green, indicating they were draining his magic.

"No no, you don't have a say in this, remember? I'm done with you, and these ponies. Its about time you all remember that I am the God of Chaos!" Discord hissed out, as he snapped his fingers again. This time, a flurry of things happened in a short time.

A meteor crashed down from above, sending the group of ponies away from each other, as Celestia looked up in a rage. Her hair was lit like a pure inferno, and her eyes were a fierce red. She charged Discord, only to be teleported away. He watched as a few rabid animals attacked Fluttershy, even through she begged them not to. In the sky a flying Rainbow was being chased down by more meteors, each one getting closer and closer to her, as she made crazy moves to avoid them. On the ground, Applejack was being attacked by Four Manticores, each one honing in with their stingers. Twilight was caught outside the Barrier, and was trying desperately to get in, clashing her magic with the barrier continuously. A few feet from her a shivering Pinkie looked on as her friends were separated, and her Herd mates gone.

"This, is true Chaos!" Discord laughed, as he felt the pure fright from the ponies around him combine with the fear they already had. "Do you see?" He floated closer to the chained pony. Only then did he notice that he was muttering something.

"..." The muttering was almost silent.

"What's that boy? You'll have to speak up!" As he snapped his fingers and a metal rod erupted from the ground and pierced the White stallion's shoulder.

"..." The muttering didn't get louder. Discord stared at the human turned pony in silence.

"If that's how you want to do this, then I'll just kill them all too! First Luna by killing Nightmare Moon, and then Celestia by Teleporting her into the void" Discord said, laughing.

In a flash, Hazama's hat disappeared, his hair stood on end, as his energy flared to life, even through the chains. He lifted his head, and his now Green eyes glared at the God of Chaos. His face contorted into a smile, as he started to laugh uncontrollably. The Green energy around him intensified, pulsing through the chains, cracking them. His laugh turned maniacal as the energy turned a black color with a Green edge. The chains shattered, and he stood up, face contorted into a painful looking grin.

"I'd be thanking you for making him give me complete control.." Terumi's voice called out. He stopped as he glared at Discord.

"But for once we agree on something." Terumi growled. He vanished in a burst of Green light, reappearing in behind Discord. He slammed a hoof down on the ground, sending a shockwave down and sending the remaining ponies from earlier away a good amount of distance. A second later, as Discord turned around, he grabbed him by the horn, and spun Discord around and dug his head into the rocky ground. With another quick movement, he flipped and heel kicked the back of his head even further into the ground. In a flurry of movement, he circled Discord once, and jumped away, landing next to Luna's body. He glanced down at the body and one of his eyes faded slightly back to Gold, as his hoof started shaking.

"We don't have time for that!" Terumi hissed as he covered the Gold eye with his not shaky hoof. With a slight nod, and a flux of power he relaxed his position, hunching over slightly as. His eye glowing Green once again.

"Was that all the power you've got?" Discord's voice called over from his downed position. He simply floated upwards into a relaxed position. Terumi smiled, as he stood up on Two hooves.

"Nope!" Terumi laughed as he clapped his hooves.

Discord looked down, as a Green light started to shine from the ground. He noted Several small balls of Green light, floating about. His eyes widened as he looked around him, and saw that they had surrounded him in clusters of at least Seven. They each swelled and collided with each other at Terumi's clap.

*Boom!*

A massive Green explosion rocked the area, even piercing into the clouds, and parting them. Just as the Explosion died down, Discord flew from the Green blast, smoke forming of his now charred off tail. His face contorted in rage. He snapped his fingers, and the blast was gone, standing before him was Terumi, still smiling. Terumi still had his hooves up in a clapping position, as he looked no worse for wear despite being so close to the explosion. He pointed a hoof at Discord, and with his smile stretching even higher, said one thing.

"Bang!" As a small beam of light Green energy shot from his hoof. The beam crossed the distance to Discord in the blink of an eye, and pierced right through his shoulder. Terumi began laughing like a maniac as he brought his other hoof up next to his other one.. He even winked at Discord. Discord's face twisted into a mix of rage and fear, as he raced into the sky. A salvo of Green lasers shot after him, most missing, but some landing. Piercing his stomach, ribs, and arm, all the while Terumi was still laughing.

Discord stopped suddenly, taking the full brunt of the Green laser barrage. When Terumi stopped, he watched as Discord simply stood there, not showing any signs of pain, rather he looked bored. He sighed, as he looked to Terumi.

"You are stronger than I gave you credit for. The Chaos that powers you and your body is quite powerful. But that is just that, and Chaos is MY tool! MY way of life!" And with that he snapped his fingers again. In an instant, Terumi's Black and Green aura dissipated, and the glow in his eyes faded, as he clutched at his chest.

His hoof went right through it, as if it never existed.

"What.. What have you done?!" Terumi called out, as he plopped to his knees. He felt his body fading into wisps.

"I took your Chaos away. With no Chaos, you have nothing." Discord stepped up to him, and snapped his fingers again. In a flash of Black and White, a swirling spear appeared in his claw. "And now, you will be nothing." And he stabbed Terumi in the chest, the only remaining part of the man that remained whole. He screamed into the sky, as the light left his eyes and he dropped onto the ground, his body fizzling away to nothing.

---A White Void: First Person---

Cold

I felt cold, but it wasn't because the place I was in was cold, no, it's the opposite. The White around me was really warm, and simply nice to be in.

But I was more focused on the cold feeling.

I let her die. I let Luna die, and I let Celestia and the girls down.. I let them down when they needed me the most.

I felt like the biggest piece of shit..

I almost wanted to laugh, I could swear again, and it only took the destruction of my life to make it so.

"Shit.." I heard Terumi grumble from beside me. He was standing next to me, looking down at me. "You gave me full control, and even then.. I couldn't kill him. I underestimated him."

"No, it's fine. I'm the one who let this whole thing go down hill. You were warning me the entire time, about Discord." I looked up at him. "I'm sorry I let Nightmare die." I mutter softly. Terumi scoffed a bit, as he rolled his eyes.

"Don't even start that apologizing bullshit, you know as well as I do that there was nothing we could do." He clenched his hands until the knuckles turned white, then he released a deep, sorrow filled sigh as hunched over. I saw a slight glint of a tear falling from his eye. "We watched as our soul mates got torn from us."

I wanted to mock him. Mock him for sounding so.. human. But I didn't have the strength, my will was shaken and crumbling.

"And if I told you, that you only screwed up a little. Would you believe me?" A soft voice rang through the White void, gaining Terumi's attention, as he subtly stepped closer to me.

The voice laughed lightly.

"Even now, your bonds together grow." It was weird listening to something that sounded like it was coming from all around you.

"Bonds? I hate this idiot as much as I could throw him!" Terumi's voice growled, yet sounded.. Protective?

"Then why do you stand up for him? Why protect what you hate?" The voice paused, "Why not kill him? He is defenseless." I almost laughed at the voice.

"What good would that do?" My voice was shallow, empty even.

"Right, I'd wind up being alone in the White purgatory or some shit." Terumi responded, crouching to my side.

"Foalish children, this is no purgatory. This is merely my home, where I govern all of time for this Equestria." The voice giggled again, "My name, is Faust. And you Two have been nothing short of amazing. Your entrance alone to this world re-wrote the history I had planned out so carefully."

I sat up from my fetal position and watched in awe as multiple screens appeared around us, showing different things. One showed Nightmare Moon battling Celestia, and being banished to the moon. Another showed Discords first break out, and how the Elements were turned against themselves. Only saved by Twilight and her love for her friends. Another screen showed Fluttershy laughing with Discord, as they sat in her house drinking tea.

"What?" I asked, confused. Wisps of Golden light formed together, and in a brilliant flash, stood an Alicorn, that looked a lot like Celestia, only her mane was like Luna's own. The dark mane contrasting to the rest of the White void.

"As interesting as your story is, I'm afraid that there aren't a lot of ways to reform Discord from here. I was waiting for this day, as this is the day you defeat Discord and send him to me. However, I overestimated you. I had forgotten what kind of trauma losing one so close to you would bring. Luna and you are tied to each other almost as much as Luna is to Nightmare. When Luna died in front of you, instead of demanding help from Terumi, you gave him your body. Yes he may be strong, but as he will justify, you are stronger." Faust said, still looking at the many floating screens. "When you gave up your body to Terumi, you allowed him to alter your body to suit his power. His power from the other world, where he is Chaos energy incarnate. By doing so you gave Discord victory." She turned to me.

So that's why.. That's why Discord only chained me up. He couldn't find a way to get rid of me otherwise.

"Hold on a second!" Terumi's voice called out, he had stood up. "That amalgamation of animal bits won against me.. By cheating?!" Terumi yelled.

I smirked, standing up from my spot on the.. Ground? Is there ground here? Whatever..

"Ahh!" Faust's eyes glimmered with mirth. "Once again you gather knowledge and idea's from your other half's actions." My grin got a bit bigger.

"So you can read my mind, right? Can you?" I asked, my breath held.

"Of course. But you only get one." Her voice dropped slightly. "That's all you get from a screw up from me." I nodded in gratitude, as I turned to Terumi, who looked confused.

"What do you say about showing Discord the very definition of 'cheating' bud?" It took all of a second for his own grin to match my own.

"This does not mean we're friends." Terumi said, holding out a hand.

"Wouldn't have it any other way, pal." I grinned as I clasped my hand with his own, and we disappeared in a blinding flash of Green.

Faust stood there, smiling brightly at the space we once stood in.

"Oh those Two are just adorable together! It's a shame they can't come here to visit, it's been ages since I had company.." She put on a thoughtful look, that turned into a cheeky grin as she turned to the nearest screen and tapped it with a hoof. It brought up a glowing keyboard and she began pressing buttons while giggling to herself..

---Before the Incident: Back in Reality---

"Yes, it's me." Discord seemed to be a bit.. off. With another snap, the magic in Celestia's horn dissipated, as did the magic that Luna had been gathering in secret. "Do you know what it's like to be trapped in stone, with nothing but your own mind to keep you entertained feels like?" Discord asked suddenly, his voice plain, none of the playful tone from before. When no one answered, he simply shook his head. He looked to Hazama.

"You my friend, were supposed to be my help. Instead you made me lose my leg!" He cried out in anger. "Sure I can get another, but its the principal of it! I won't replace it until your dead." He ended it in a flat tone. Luna ran up and got in front of Hazama, who was still cringing in pain as his magic seeped from his wounds.

"You will do no such thing!" Luna glared at Discord. He simply sat there as he hung in the air, with his arms crossed. With another snap, a wave of earth shot up and plowed into Luna's side, pushing her away. It was that moment that a small flash of Green brought his attention back to Hazama. The poor Stallion muttering to himself, his magic seeming to pulse through his body.

"No, you don't get a say in this." The bored tone of his voice, was betrayed by the anger in his eyes. With a snap, a spear of light shot out, and plunged towards Hazama's shadow.

With a subtle flash of Green, an Ouroboros coiled around the spear like a snake, and stopped it inches from the ground. Hazama started laughing, as the chain squeezed and popped the spear of light like a balloon.

"What's so funny?" Discord asked, as he snapped his fingers, in an instant a flurry of Gold chains wrapped around the ponified human. The chains pulsed Green, as they siphoned of some of his magic.

"We're laughing because you think we'll just let you kill them again." Hazama looked up at Discord, and grinned. "We refuse to let you win again." With a laugh, he took a step forward. The chains moved to restrain him more, only to be shattered by a burst of Light Green magic. Hazama looked at his hoof, and took another step. He continued walking towards Discord, all the while small cracks appeared on the White stallion's body. With a chuckle, he stood up on Two hooves and with another pulse of magic, he shattered. A bright Green flash was all you could see.

"Ah, much better!" Hazama said as the light died down. He stood there, back to being human, hands in his pockets as his eyes fixed a glare at Discord. His Golden eyes glowing slightly, as a Light Green aura flared up around him. A Golden cloak shimmered into existence on his shoulders, covering up most of his torso. He looked at the empty sleeves and grinned. Suddenly Seven Ouroboros slithered out of each sleeve and waved about in the air around him.

"Oh? And what do you mean, again?" Discord spoke, the group of ponies behind him looked on in confusion.

"No need to worry about that." Hazama said, walking towards Discord again. Dark green masses of energy swirled around Hazama like lightning. Discord snapped his fingers and in an instant a wave fire washed through the area. The ponies were protected by Celestia, as she brought up a barrier in time. The fire danced around Hazama, as he continued to smile. With another snap, crystals began forcing they're way up from the ground like spikes. Hazama dodged fluidly, making small steps to left and right. His eyes never leaving Discord. With an angry look, Discord snapped his fingers Twice. At once the flames and crystals were shot into the air, and stayed there, floating. Behind Hazama, the tree's came to life and began attacking him. The tree's using their branches as clubs, and even trying to fall over onto him. The crystals started raining down from above, and the Ouroboros coming from the Cloak smacked them out of the way. As the fire made its way back down, Hazama quickly stomped a foot on the ground, sending an Ouroboros slithering across the ground around tree's and even around Discord as he floated, watching.

In a flash of movement, Hazama zipped around using his new 'Manual' Ouroboros. He spun around tree's sending waves of Dark green energy at them so they explode into splinters. He zipped around the fire as it descended to the ground, and soon stood in front of Discord. He reached up and gently whipped of an ember that floated onto his Cloak, his grin still there. Discord raised a hand to snap once again.

In a blink of an eye Hazama was behind Discord, and snapped his own fingers. The Ouroboros coming from the Cloak's sleeves instantly wrapping discord in a tight chain binding of his own.

"Do you like it? This is the power you should expect from the final boss." Hazama's voice was full of mirth, as he raised his palm to Discord's face. In a blinding flash, a pillar of Light Green and Dark Green energy swirled from their position. It pushed all the clouds in the area away like a sonic boom, and the pillar of energy simmered down. As the dust settled down, Hazama stood there, hand still held out, his grin gone for the moment. He looked over, towards where he felt Discord, and noted the bored look on his face.

"You are stronger than I gave you credit for. The Chaos that powers you and your body is quite powerful. But that is just that, and Chaos is MY tool! MY way of life!" And with that he snapped his fingers again. In an instant, Hazama's Light Green aura dissipated, and the glow in his eyes faded, as he clutched at his chest.

His hand went right through it, as if it never existed.

"What.. What have you done?!" Hazama called out, as he plopped to his knees his body beginning to fade

"I took your Chaos away. With no Chaos, you have nothing." Discord stepped up to him, and snapped his fingers again. In a flash of Black and White, a swirling spear appeared in his claw. "And now, you will be nothing." And he stabbed Hazama in the chest. Only for it to faze right through his chest.

"What?!" Discord called out in surprise.

"Gotcha!" Hazama laughed, his grin back. He reached out and reached for Discord's chest. His hand fazed right through.

"What- What are you doing?!" Discord asked, he grit his teeth in pain.

"Refusing to kill you." Hazama said, as he pulled back his fist, a cluster of Red and Black flowing out of Discord's chest and into Hazama's. Hazama clutched his chest with a wince, but otherwise he seemed fine.

"W-what?" Discord seemed confused, as he looked around. "What was I doing?" He sounded tired.

"Good, right on time!" Hazama said, as his Cloak disappeared and his eyes stopped glowing. Closing his eyes, he sighed as he collapsed to the ground.

"...Ow.." Hazama groaned.

"H-hey! You alright?" Discord asked, floating over me, a worried look on his face.

"Hazama!" He heard the group of ponies call out to him. He turned his head and saw Blue. His head was gently grabbed by Luna, as she flared her magic up to see if he needed healing. Pinkie hopped over to the other side and nuzzled his left cheek.

"Oh Hazie.." She murmered.

Celestia stood with the other ponies, as she stared at Discord.

"Fuck you Faust.. I win. I saved.. Everyone." Hazama spoke before he passed out. Luna looked over to her sister in shock, as Celestia rose an eyebrow at the new information.

"It seems we have much to discus with our stallion when he wakes up." Celestia said, a small smile formed on her face as she watched her sister dote on Hazama. Her attention drew to Discord, as he floated off to the side, fidgeting like he had no idea what was going on. Her eyes widened a bit, as she looked back to Hazama. "You didn't.." She shook her head, she would ask when he woke up. She walked forward and helped her sister in bringing Hazama back to Twilight's.

Another day, another disaster
