“Ugh…damn me.”

The voice that was heard was deep, it gave the hint of fear from it, but as well that there are emotions in the voice.

“I swear one day, doing my job is gonna get me killed…and not the way I would want to go.” The voice was a man, he picked himself up from the ground.

He walks by to see a puddle, enough for a reflection, he looks at the puddle to see himself. He was a tall man with Long Snow-White Hair, Total Pale light skin, Red Eyes, and sharp teeth. He wore a long Coat along with a Hoodie, He had straps on that carried Knives. His boots were also dark along with the Pockets it provided which carried Pistols. The Person also had a scarf, which was hiding his nose and mouth. On his back looked like a Sword Holster, and next to it were two dual SMG of sorts.

“Well…good to know nothing has changed.” He says.

The man then grabs the SMGs and checks the magazines, “MP5K…seems to be intact,” He then looks at his waist to see many magazines as well as knives, “I’m stocked up still at least.”

The man then puts the MP5s away to check the two pistols in his holsters, “M9 Pistols…mags good, chamber good, barrel good.” He then puts them back.

Finally, he unsheathes the sword. It looked like a Katana that had a small curve…it glowed and was colored Red and Black, there were bandages on the handle as well as the bottom of the sword that connected to the Handle.

“Not damaged…then again…nothing can really damage you.”

He puts the sword back and looks around to see he was in a forest…but wasn’t far from an exit.

“Why do I get the feeling I’m not in Gateway?” The man sighs as he walks towards the exit.

As he was walking, he sees…unusual things, he first sees some rabbits running on deer legs, then he sees floating buildings and upside down ones. Soon he was standing at the edge of the forest and didn’t move.

Why? It was raining brown liquid from pink clouds above. The man puts two fingers out and waits for a drop to hit, as soon as one does, he places it in his mouth, not moving the scarf much.

He tasted the sweetness of chocolate…with milk.

“Chocolate milk…what?” The man sighed as he put two hands on the back of his neck, under the coat and then pulled out a hood, he covered himself which did cover his large white hair.

He then puts his two hands in his pockets as he takes his first step into this…Land of Confusion.

“What the hell is this place?”

He looks around at the very illogical land, he then looks to his right at a distance to see a creature in a King’s Chair.

“I wonder if I’ll get some information from him.”

As he walks to his destination, he looks back at the chair to see some multi-colored Ponies approaching the creature.

“Wonder what the occasion is for this party…”

The man walks to the crowd and hides behind the pink-checkered hills.

“Oh, this again?” The creature says.

“That’s right, you couldn’t break apart our friendship for long.” One of the ponies says, she had a southern accent and was wearing a red flannel, with blue jeans and a cowboy hat.

“Oh, Applejack, don’t lie to me. I’m the one who made you a liar. Will you ever learn?” The creature says.

“I'll tell you what we've learned, Discord: we've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for!” A Purple Unicorn then says, she had a hoodie on with some jeans.

“Ugh, gag. Fine, go ahead, try, and use your little Elements. ‘Friend me.’ Just make it quick. I'm missing some excellent chaos here.” The creature known as Discord says.

“All right, ladies, let's show him what friendship can do!” The Purple Unicorn says.

Just then a flash of colors happen from the six ponies, as then they started to float.

“What’s this?”

The flash then created a beam which was aimed at Discord.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Discord whips up a shield that completely blocks the attack. He then pushes the beam back at the Ponies which causes them to fly back a little as injuries then occur.

“Did you really think it would be that easy, Twilight Sparkle?” Discord says as he walks slowly towards them.

“How…did--“

“You think I wouldn’t be prepared if my plan failed…there’s always a backup plan Sparkle…and It seems I’ll have to carry on with it…since you and your friends are such a problem…I am going to have to end you all.”

“What?!” Twilight says.

The Mane Six then try to get up, but then they noticed they were stuck to the ground by Cotton Candy.

The man looks at them as Discord lights up an orb of magic in his claws, Twilight then sees the man…standing there. The man looks back at her, then he sees Discord.

“So long…Elements.” Discord says as he chuckles.

“Hey!”

Discord looks behind him to see the man, standing in a…stance.

“Oh, my…and who are you?”

“Me? Oh…I’m someone who got lost, I come from a different land…but now I don’t know where I am and I was hoping you could help me…as much as you’re busy with…executing resistance fighters.”

“Oh them? Don’t worry, they won’t be a problem…what’s your name?”

“Ooh a King’s Chair,” The man then sits in it and puts a knee up on top his other knee as he puts a fist to his cheek.

“Name’s Samuel Knight…but I usually am called Sam.” The man finally speaks his name.

“I’m Discord, the Lord of Chaos.”

Sam then gets down from the chair and walks up to Discord.

“Sorry, just wanted to try out the chair.”

“It’s quite alright…but, may I ask you? Why do you have your muzzle covered?” Discord asks.

“Oh this…well first, believe it or not, I don’t have a muzzle…just a face…and second…I can give off…’fear’ when I take this off.”

“Oh, I see, but what about that?” Discord says as he points at his sword.

Sam chuckles as he grabs onto the handle and pats it, “This baby has probably saved my life a few times…and I saved it’s.”

“So…it has a mind?” Discord asks

“You…could say that…even though it doesn’t make sense.” Sam answers

“What’s the point in making sense?” Discord asks.

“Wait for a sec…is this your world or something?” Sam asks.

“It’s about to be…just some finishing touches.”

“I see, would you like to finish? I assume it’s them.” Sam asks as he nods at the Mane Six.

“Why yes, of course…excuse me for a moment.” Discord then turns around and charges up the orb again.

Twilight then looks at Sam, who then nods at her, her eyes widen as to see what he was doing.

Sam then unsheaths his sword and walks up to Discord.

Surprise Motherfuck--

Discord then knocks him in the face, making him fall back, “Agh…godammit.”

“I knew you were up to something…but why? I thought we were having a good relationship?” Discord asks.

“Please…why would I be friends with a Chaos Lord,” Sam then rolls up his sleeve to show a mark, It was a tattoo-like mark that was a white star that was over a splatter of black goo, “I SLAY beings like you, I have dealt with your kind in my world which caused one of my friends to go crazy in guilt…I really wished I had killed him myself for hurting family and friends.”

“Who are you?”

Sam then unsheaths his sword which glowed red and black, besides the designs already, “I am the one you should fear…I am a Guardian.”

The moon then rises over the land, darkening it, “Oh…perfect.” Sam smiled as then his marking glowed.

He put his sleeve back down as then his entire body started to turn Pitch Black, and his Eyes shined Blood Red.

We’re about to have fun.” Sam says as he then puts a hand to the ground, which causes black smoke to surround them and the six.

He then vanishes into shadows.

“Where did he go?” Discord says to himself.

Right here.

Discord looks behind him to be met with a fist to his muzzle, he then falls back from the punch. Discord winced in pain as he saw blood dripping from his nose.

“How did you hurt me? No one can hurt me.”

Sam then puts a sword to his chin, “Maybe you didn’t hear me…I am a Guardian.

Sam then attempts to cut his stomach, which Discord proceeds to dodge by splitting his body in half and then back together. Sam then goes for a Head cut which Discord leans back to dodge.

C’mon Dissy…where was all that humor and all that power you had?” Sam says as he continues to attack.

Then a Slash hits his arm which actually gives Discord pain. Blood spilled from his arm as he then grabs it.

Bet you haven’t felt that before huh?” Sam then jumps to kick Discord in the jaw.

He falls back as he’s temporarily knocked out. The sun then rises and Sam returns to normal, “Guess the cycle here is fast.”

Sam runs to the Mane Six crouching next to Twilight.

“Stand still…I gotta remember this spell.”

Sam then puts a hand to the cotton candy that was sticking her to the ground, and it started to burn away which broke Twilight free.

“Alright, get your friends out and…use that…thing you did earlier…I’ll distract him, got it? Good.”

Sam quickly goes back to Discord who was getting up.

“Wait!” Twilight says as he already was going back to fight Discord.

The five look at Twilight.

“Can we trust him?” Applejack says.

“I think so…he wouldn’t be fighting Discord if he wanted to help.” Twilight says.

Her horn glows and the Cotton Candy disappears and all get up.

“Aww…no more candy.” The Pink Pony says.

The Six run to the fighting duo as they all ready themselves. Sam was clashing his Sword at Discord, as he deflected them with a metal bar.

Just then he sees the girls ready themselves. Sam then grinds his sword against the bar, as he then kicked Discord’s shin.

“Agh! That hurt!” Discord, acting like a baby drops to the ground, knees flat.

“You are weak…” Discord looks up at the dark warrior.

“You have all this power, you can bend reality, but once it’s taken away and you’re vulnerable…you become a coward…scared…well, now it’s time to learn your place…NOW!”

Sam runs as Discord looks behind him to see the Mane Six release a beam at him.

“No! No!” Discord stands up to see his body turn to stone.

After it was finished, the whole world changed. Sam looks around to see the flat grass-covered ground, he then sees the town in its peaceful glory, and the clouds were white and the sky was blue.

He then looks in front of him to see a Statue of Discord, “Justice.” Sam says.

He stares at the Statue for a while then he puts his Sword back and turns around.

“Hey, wait!”

Sam turns his head to see the Unicorn known as Twilight put her hand out to him. He then uncovers his scarf to show his nose and mouth, there were two small sharp teeth coming from his mouth, he winked, nodded, and smiled at Twilight before putting the scarf back on and entering the Forest.

Twilight was surprised by the Gesture, she was wondering who that was…and was he planning something?

“I must send a letter to the Princess,” Twilight says.
