The city of Canterlot was bustling with activity, and so was a certain draconeqqus, which according to Cheerlie, was a creature with the head of a pony and a body of all sorts of things. His name was Discord, and he was the last of his kind, or that's what he told itself. He was in his room in Canterlot that he made himself, hoping Fluttershy was okay.

Discord has the head of a pony, a deer's right antler, a goat's left horn and beard, a long serpentine body that was covered in brown fur, a lion arm, an eagle claw, a lizard foot, a deer leg, two mismatched wings, and a long red tail.

"Maybe some quiet time will help me relax. All I hope is that Fluttershy is okay." Discord said. He snapped his fingers and teleported to a park, where he sat on another tree with some Pidgeys and Flecthlings accompanying him.

"Mister, what's wrong?" a male Pidgey said.

"My friend is gone for a friendship mission to stop an equal-crazed madmare, and I'm left to manage her cottage, which is fine with me. I guess I'll summon some raktajino to ease me." Discord said as he snapped his fingers, summoning a cup of some black liquid.

"What's raktajino? Please tell us?" a female Fletchling said, using her cuteness to her advantage.

"That's new, even for me. I'm very old, I meant to summon some tea but this came." Discord said as he took a sip.

"It's ghastly, you better not drink that stuff." Discord said as he made the cup disappear. That was new, even though he was 2,389 years old, he never knew of that before.

"It's coffee, no, that was made by humans. THAT was a horrible Klingon excuse for it." a cocky voice said.

"Thanks for the tip, I thought you said you never knew, but what's a Klingon?" the Pidge said.

"I didn't say that..." Discord said.

"Forgetting me soon, pity. It took me 2,389 years to find you. Now I'm here."

With a flash of light, there was another draconeqqus.

He did not have the head of a pony, but instead his head was that of a grey wolf's. His horns were the same, reminiscent of that of a Chinese dragon's antlers. His serpentine body had the same grey fur as his head. He shared Discord's lion arm, eagle's claw, and lizard's foot. Instead of a deer hoof, he had a snow leopard's foot.

His long tail was covered in beautiful sea green scales that resemble Queen Oceania's scales, it also had a grey tuft at the end. While he had a bird wing and a bat wing like Discord, they were bigger and looked suited for flight. Instead of a mane, the new draconeqqus had a row of dull green spines going from his head all the way to the near tip of his tail.

While his pupils were lopsided, his eyes were the same size, under bushy white eyebrows.

Discord looked around, and everyone except for him, the Pidgeys, the Fletchlings, and the other draconeqqus was all grey and frozen in time.

The new draconeqqus flew up to Discord as the various bird Pokémon backed away.

"There you are, Q, it's been so long." the new draconeqqus said as he pulled a tendril of memory from Discord's head.

"My name is Discord, whoever you are. Har har with the jokes, I though I was the last of my kind..."

"Well, all appearances to the contrary, if you didn't create them..." the other draconeqqus said as he viewed the memory.

"I don't know what your talking about..." Discord said.

"It appears that this is Earth itself. Now, come for a stroll with me, if you may."

"I don't know who you are or why you are here, but this is my turf, bub." Discord said, crossing his arms at the intruder.

"Alright, alright, since you don't remember, I'll start, Discord. We are not draconeqqui to begin with, we come from a realm called the Q Continuum. We have no names, so we call ourselves Q." the Q being said as he waved his hand, and suddenly they were not in the tree. Instead, they were at a mesa area. At the mesa was a town of two rows of houses arranged in an equal sign.

"With the naming convention you established, I guess you can still call me Q, if you may." he said as the they walked at the town, which was still stopped in time, and still grey in color. Even with the grey, Discord can see something off with the town's citizens. There were no Pokémon, only ponies. What's even odder was that they all had the same cutie mark: an equal sign. Discord didn't know what color since everything was grey.

"Your friends are being conditioned by the insane unicorn known as Starlight Glimmer. I'm not spoiling it, but their pets are probably pinned like the animals they are." the Q said as Discord looked on.

"They took Fluttershy..." Discord said before the Q being looked at him.

"She doesn't care for you. None of them. It's all part of the act, see. They adore their widdle system soooo much that they are willing enough to control Arceus." the Q said as he pointed his lion paw at Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy will never, I knew her too well to listen to that garbage." Discord said.

"But did you know anything about them? Of course not, losing your memory made you very naïve. Let's look at another place." the Q said with another flash of light. Now, they were at an arena.

Discord saw ponies surrounding the chairs to watch starved Pokémon fight it out. All in a standstill. At that moment, he knew it must be the past.

"When unwatched, ponies are racist and will-"

"Alright buster, stop trying to tempt me into going with you. You were trying to manipulate me, I can feel it well. I know that trick because I invented it. Now, I-" Discord was interrupted by the Q being.

"So, you didn't fall for that. Even when you don't remember, you are a tough cookie to crack. Especially when it comes from your long lost brother..." the Q said as he took a drink from one of the ponies and sipped on it.

"Party's over, I'm an only child. Aside from my tribe, I never knew any other draconeqqui." Discord said.

"Sorry to say this, big bro, but there aren't any draconeqqui to begin with. You just created them when you got there."

"I was born a draconeqqus. And to prove it to you, look." Discord aimed to hold out a baby picture of himself and of his parents, but there was nothing there.

"Drat. I probably left it back at my room." Discord said.

"You believed and quite literally lived a false past, Q. I have to admit, your meddling in the time stream fooled everyone here, even Arceus and Dialga. We need you back, Q."

"Discord." Discord corrected, starting to get annoyed with the Q.

"You have been deluding yourself too long Q, I'm sorry." the Q being said. With another flash of light, they were back at his bedroom in the present, except it was still grey as time was still stopped..

"You went too far. So far that you changed time itself to suit the needs of your depression. No amount of friendship that the ponies have will make them understand you better than us."

"Us? What do you mean by us?" Discord said.

"What I mean by "us" is your people. Your real people. Not draconeqqui, but the Q back at the continuum. Your real species, your real home, your real family. Are you happy HERE?" the Q being said in an almost pleading tone.

"I don't care what your beef with me is, and to let you know, that form doesn't fool me." Discord said.

"The only being your fooling is yourself, Q. More fool the Q. Think about it." the being said. With a flash of light, the Q was gone. The color was back to normal and time seemed to be working properly. Sighing, Discord went to the psychiatrist to talk about what happened and the encounter with the Q being. All the while, the words echoed through his mind. It was good that the psychiatrist was a Psychic-type Pokémon, it would make things way easier.

Meanwhile, up in space, the Q was staring at his own big brother walking to talk about their encounter.

"And now, to reverse the changes my brother did to the timeline." the Q said as he jumped into the time stream and got to work on fixing the timeline. He'll probably have company soon.

Author's Note

So yeah, that was it.

The arena was a reference to "A New World, A Fearful Way", but it is not the same arena.

If there are any more dark areas, I'll add the dark tag. Until then, toodaloo.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

P.S.: When Zuesdemigod gets ANWANW up and loading again, I'll do it unless I'm in the mood to continue on. If anyone wants, post their picture of the Q's draconeqqus form down below in your comments.
