I stared into those yellow psychotic eyes that showed just how truely far off the deep end he is. Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, is an entirely new version of the proud jokester he once was. His most noticeable differences is a five scarred gashes that went over his left eye, making it look like a sick battle wound. This new look along with strange black runes on parts of his body only confused me, but I readied Apocalypse all the same.

"Discord. So you were the one to jump through the Spacetime Crack..." I said trailing off.

He smiled maniacally before snapping his fingers. Nothing happened though. I scanned the area in confusion before looking up above me.

"Ah shit!"

I raised my blade to protect myself as a meteor struck where I stood causing the entire cliff face to crumble into a huge crater.

However, the shield I casted ahead of time saved me from the more severe wounds. I waited for the debris to settle before escaping out of the new crater Discord's meteor made. I looked for Discord again only to find out he moved somewhere else.

I heard his infamous laughter seconds later that seemed to be coming from everywhere at once.

"Oh, how I missed causing you pain, Shadow.~ You've seem to forget who I am. I have been looking for you all over reality in every plane of existence imaginable for a rematch! And I come back to my home reality only to find out you were simply hiding... biding your time in solitude in a state that no one could hurt you in," Discord said coming back into existence circulating around me like a wolf examining his prey. "I'm glad you decided to follow me into the next world. Because, now I can kill you in a world unfamiliar by your touch."

I smiled at his words. "My touch, eh? You have forgotten yourself. I have been out of my element the moment I fell from the sky in your home world. You just gave me more room to infect more worlds with 'my touch'."

His eyes hardened as I could tell his anger was raising to new levels. "Then I'll.... just have to kill you here and now!"

Discord charged at me faster than the normal eyes could see. He pulled a single piece of his hair off his fur coat morphing it into a long scyph edged in colorless crystals. His scyph clashed with Apocalypse, seconds later, causing a few sparks in the process.

The area immediately became a war zone, his talon finger arm ripped open my left shoulder in the middle of battle. I grunted in discomfort as my fingers formed into claws dropping Apocalypse simultaneously. Discord swiped the scyph at me again only to be stopped by my clawed fingers. I smiled once more yanking the scyph forward before using my other claw to dig into his back.

He cried out in pain as he teleported himself and the scyph out of my grip. I grasped Apocalypse again seeing Discord stomp into the ground sending a magical shockwave through it before nearby trees ripped themselves out of the ground and charged at me.

I positioned Apocalypse in the opposite direction of the trees before charging at the walking trees. It didn't take long before the branches on said trees projected themselves toward me like wooden spears. Fortunately, my magic formed itself around my body preventing the wooden projectiles from penetrating my fur. I slashed the closest walking tree twice causing it to fall over into a series of chopped wood. The second and the third walking trees followed suit.

Once all walking trees were reduced to chopped wood, I redirected my focus on to Discord. Only I didn't really see Discord anywhere. I heard a series of chants above me. Seven Discords were lined up in a circle charging up this multicolored sphere in the center of them. Before I could react, the Discords finished the strange chant sending the sphere inbound on me. I made contact with the sphere before my vision turned white.

I felt weightless, but that feeling was soon replaced with a falling sensation. My vision cleared itself up revealing a red orange sky. Sounds of death lingering in the air. I looked below seeing nothing but the approaching ground. That wasn't the only thing that was heading my way though. I glanced to my right, but I didn't really think anything would be there since I figured I was in some kind of empty space. Boy was I wrong. My eyes widening in the first strain of fear since my near death fall experience from Canterlot. Nuclear missiles heading straight for me. Thousands of them. Some even piercing above the clouds.

My instincts kicked in as time seemed to slow itself down. I flipped over the first missle, barely touching it. Then, I grabbed onto the closest missile in my reach while making sure to avoid hitting any other.

Luckily, the missile didn't detonate as I was carried on the current missile storm forward. My confusion only got worse when I realized the missiles weren't directed at me. I took a look at the logo that were mended into said missiles: Long Live The Empire, Long Live Roam!.

The missiles' target then finally came into view. I couldn't help but feel gobstruck to what I was seeing. The missiles were heading directly for Canterlot.

"Dear mother of the Creator...."

Third Person

Celestia took off into the sky waiting for the incoming storm. All that was in her mind was her inner voice encouraging her to do the right thing. Most of her little ponies are safe in the StableTech bunkers placed throughout Equestria. Waiting for the impact of the missiles. She wasn't going to go out quietly either, not without taking down the main threat.

With newfound determination, Celestia charged at the swarm of Balefire bombs. Her magic popping a few out of existence. Unfortunately, there were still too many of them swarming the sky. The dread set into her realizing her situation was useless. She was going to die.

Celestia then heard a faint stallion scream. She looked for the source, and to her astonishment, found a black unicorn stallion hugging one of the missiles like his life depended on it.

"Fuck you Discord!!!" the black stallion yelled to the heavens.

His use of strong words made even Celestia flinch. But, nevertheless, she was focused back on the missiles. The stallion catch her eye again as the same stallion took out a white chalk drawing something on the missile. She popped a few more missiles out of existence.

They were getting too close to Canterlot, so she lit up her horn again in a last ditch effort to stop the Balefire bombs. Suddenly, all the Balefire bombs lit up in a black light before the missiles jerked themselves upward. Celestia just stood there speechless as the stallion rejoiced.

"Here I come Discord!" He said before him and the missiles disappeared into a black circular thing before it disappears as well.

"Well.... that was a different outcome then expected." she commented sighing softly to herself. "Now to organize the peace treaties in time before they launch another attack like that...."

Shadow's POV

The temporary portal sent me back to the original world I went into having a strong sensation that Discord was still there. However, I obviously didn't end up in the same place. My magic remarked the destination as I landed into a field of snow. And to worsen my luck, I was in the middle of a blizzard.

My hooves sank a couple feet into the snow itself establishing just how much snow there actually was. I got up after a few seconds before the bitter cold wind around me really affected my body.

I idolly shivered non-stop in this blasted blizzard! The portal closed itself as soon as I got my bearings in the new terrain. With nothing better to do, I marched forward into the endless flat valley of snow.

A few hours into the trek and it already felt like a frozen hell. I had no food, no water, and especially no clothing! I would kill right now to have a nice warm scarf wrapped around my neck right about now. The only thing keeping even me remotely warm and conscious is my naturally black fur, the perks to being a horse. Reguardless of my mental complainants, I was still out in the barren snow valley in a middle of a blizzard.

Then, I saw something different out in the white distance. It look to be some sort of grey colored area amongst the endless white. I decided it wouldn't hurt to look. It had to be better than freezing to death in the middle of a flat valley of snow, so I marched my way toward the grey area. My vision of the grey terrain became clearer making out the base of a canyon the closer we got to it.

My hopes and imaginary prayers seemed to be answered as I gladly took shelter in the strangely big canyon. It felt good having the cold wind off my back, but I could feel my body enter a tired state at the same time.

"Probably hypothermia talking."

I searched around for some sticks to burn. When I found none, I groaned in annoyance. I only had one more option left. I placed myself in between some rocks as I used my hands to cover the major heat spots on my body. At first, my body felt really cold from the contact, but it began to slowly warm me up. I sighed contently feeling myself drifting slowly to sleep.

Waking up to strange noises is not what I call a good wake up call. But it did its job as I was startled out of my sleep. I took in my surroundings only to remember my current spot. Gradually, I slipped out of the tight space into the the open canyon once more. I felt only the slightest presence of a gust of frigid air coming in, but what really surprised me was how much warmer the canyon felt. I looked to my left sniffing the air. It smelled of burning wood.

I hid behind some rocks at the canyon base before sticking my head out of my rock cover. The new intruders were surprising all anthromorphic zebra. However, there was something different about the group of zebra. They wore different styles of Roman themed armor with even standard Roman weapons during the current time period. What surprised me more was how many was in the canyon. Fortunately, almost all were fast asleep with the exception of a few zebra, one male; two female.

I wasn't really close enough to make out there conversation, but I could tell that they were enjoying each others company keeping post. Suddenly, my instincts went off pushing a equally abrupt rush of adrenaline. I looked up to find out why my body reacted the way it did. Caribou warriors above the canyon walls were desending silently down the said walls.

My mind rushed with conclusions so I decided the quickest solution. "The Caribou are attacking!" I shout toward the sleeping zebra soldiers.

As if the place was catching on fire the zebra guards standing watch alert their fellow brother and sisters causing a battle to occur between the two forces. Like a shadow, I slipped my way through the my train of thought more focused on killing Discord.

My concentration broke however when I heard a short female cry in one of the tents closest to me. I opened the flaps my sense of time slowing down almost to a stand still. In the room were two Caribou and a zebra mare. One Caribou warrior held the Mare down while the other was positioning himself to rape her. Anger clouded my vision as the shadow licked themselves around my fingertips before slithering quickly around both Caribou's necks.

The realization didn't sink in for the two bucks as I snapped their necks in the completely opposite direction. They fell limp as the zebra mare just stated in confusion at the mess I created. I realized then that this mare had a helmet shaped slightly different then the other zebra Roman soldiers. Making me think back to what the Centurions of Rome would look like.

I shifted back into the shadows before the Mare could comprehend my presence any further. A few of those Casino is bastards got in my way but my well developed claws made killing them so effortlessly.

Once again, I made it out of the canyon, but sadly the blizzard raged on. Seriously, does the blizzard ever slow down or stop here? The only noticeable difference was the gust was significantly slower than before. My horn came to life as I prepared to teleport to the one place I was familiar with: Canterlot.

With that in mind, my magic carried me through space.

Surprisingly, my magic didn't misbehave. But that didn't mean that I was going to jynx myself. I was brought back into reality feeling a rumble throughout the castle which helped me notice that I was currently in one of the castle hallways.

Wasting no more time, I head for the throne room. Many of my suspicions pointed to the castle to be under attack. And to my credit, I was right seeing the inside of the throne room for myself.

Many Caribou laid on more bodies of themselves. The throne room covered in blood and guts from many corpse ranging from Pony to Zebra to Caribou alike. What my main concern though was the fight I that was being displayed before me.

Four against one odds. The Caribou being less likely to win in statistically in this situation. The buck leading the Caribou group was definitely taller than the average Caribou height I have seen, yet he didn't over did his muscles making himself unrestricted by the flesh. He wore a golden bronze type of armor set that covered everything except his head exposing his antlers and light brown fur coat. He wore a regal golden crown with ancient runes coding all of his armor, even the crown itself making his magical signature stronger than normal. His choice of weapon was a war hammer also brimming with strange magic as well.

His opponents were no push-overs either. This world's Celestia wore a brilliant bright gold and white metal armor suit keeping most of her vital organs protected. She even wore a helmet with the emblem embedded into the piece of metal. Her choice of weapon was a sliver halberd licked with hot white flames she produced.

This world's Luna wore set of armor similar to Celestia's only it was customed to fit more tone down figure. It had the colors of midnight blue and black with a pearl white crescent emblem embedded into the central breast plate. She had an oddly similar scyph to the weapon Discord used against me not so long ago. Her helmet almost made her look like she appeared to be the Grim Reaper itself.

The next anthromorphic sapient being attacking the Caribou general person was a zebra stallion. He had strange markings engrained into his very skin aloe like they were branded on. They glowed white with power and determination as I examined them carefully. His said muscles were nothing short of buffed as well. His magical signature was also something to marvel about especially since Celestia and Luna were only just slightly less powerful magially compared to the zebra stallion. Almost like he was an equal for the royal sisters.

He wore equally bizarre armor pieces like he is a high Roman general, yet I knew somehow that he was nothing of that ranking. His gold and royal blue armor looked to have been decorated in said gold, and had had a few metal awards on the armor as well. Unfortunately, there were visible dents in the armor itself that made it hard to tell whether the design was extra armor or decor. His weapon was a four foot wide broad sword with ancient engravings written along inside the sword itself.

The last to face the Caribou in the room was Twilight Sparkle herself. She wore armor that was made for speed and durability against the enemy making her seem like a purple wolverine then anything else. Her star emblem could be found on her left shoulder showing itself proudly in view. Her armor gleamed a mixture between purple, lavender and black colors that made up her set of armor. The helmet Twilight wore just heightened the fact she was of royalty status, but honestly the whole set of armor made her look she tried too hard to intimidate her opponent. Lastly, her weapon of choice was a single saber with a purple blade instead of the standard grey color.

The zebra and the three alicorn were currently fighting against the Caribou leader, but somehow, the buck was winning. All of the mighty warriors were matching the Caribou blow from blow. The four eventually put space between the Caribou and them while the three alicorns in the room glared in defiance toward the Caribou leader. He thought it was funny laughing at the probably magically exhausted ponies and zebra.

"Well isn't this just sad. My god did well to choose a champion such as myself to rule over your tyrannical government." He gloated.

Celestia gave a hard stare into the power crazed buck's eyes. "Tell your god that you will never succeed in taking our lands. Equestria will not simply roll over for a tyrant such as yourself."

The Caribou's lips curled into a snarled just hearing the mare speak against him. I could tell he absolutely hated females; if his expression is anything to go by.

"Very funny slut. I just thought I heard you disrespect me and my vision. You'll be the first I break into my hooves. I'll make sure of it." He promised.

"You seem to have forgotten about me, Dainn." the zebra stallion said already behind him to deliver a blow.

The Caribou teleported out of the way before slugging the zebra with the war hammer sending him flying into the closest wall. The alicorns had the slightest bit of concern for the stallion, but they still held their gazes.

"Pathetic." The now named Caribou, Dainn, said.

And just like that, the alicorns go on a rampage after Dainn. Luna went to sever his right arm while Twilight went for his breast plate. Celestia came from the sky white flame licking her completely white eyes about ready to plunge her halberd into his very skull. With a single quick and effortlessly timed roll, the three alicorn princesses collided into each other.

While they were in that predicament, Dainn took the liberty to channel magic into his finger tips before unleashing a purple beam at the alicorns. They were caught in the blast evident by their pained screams. They were all then blast into the wall behind them onto a pile on each other. Their weapons unfortunately scattered along the floor out of reach.

The Caribou leader crudely smiles at his success before taking his first steps toward conquering the land. He walked over to them grabbing Celestia by her horn. She grit her teeth in more pain as he picked her up suspending her by her horn alone. The other two alicorns had no time to react as his other hand made some sort of rune on the wall without them noticing. It caused the floor to act alive entrapping their horns and keeping them both pinned to the floor.

"No, Tia!" Luna wailed.

Dainn scuffed at Luna's remark, but said nothing more while Celestia glares daggers into the leader's eyes. "Looks like I win. All of Equestria is now officially under my control. Which means that I get to choose what happens to you and your female subjects, Sun Slut."

Her eyes widened before Celestia tried to fight through the pain to claw him off her horn only for his grip to tighten even more. The pain was skull splitting causing her to see stars and her attempts to be made useless. Dainn dragged Celestia on the floor while she cursed at the Caribou pulling her along, however, the buck didn't seem to stop or care.

I watched this entire scene unfold before my glance focused on the zebra stallion. He didn't move, but my magic told me this mind control magic was slowly infecting his mind while I stood there idolly. My focus went back on Celestia as I saw the wooden tool they were about to use that had Celestia's horn stuck through the contraption's hole. Yet, it could as easily restrict her magic.

Her eyes went wide in realization before I decided to intervene. I blurred into the darkness I commanded physically going faster than light. The whole world seemed to slow down to nanoseconds speeding my way over to the chopping block. I pushed Dainn over while at the same time pulling Celestia out of the device. On the bright side, I stayed in my current time limit using that ability.

Unfortunately, the device clipped the tip of her horn as time resumed it's normal course. I caught Celestia in my embrace skidding on the floor to a short stop. She screamed in pain feeling the full force of the cut holding her tip of her horn trying to find a way to end the pain. My magic succeeded in pulling her hands from the horn eventually. I used my natural black colored magic to numb the pain while talking to her in a calm and relaxed manner.

Meanwhile, Dainn could not help but appear gobstruck by my sudden entrance and knowledge of magic. Once I manage to dull most of the pain, I gently put her to sleep with my magic. My horn lit up again placing the unconscious Sun princess beside her comrades. I could tell even the other two alicorns were surprised to see my presence.

I got up dusting my shoulders before eyeing the taller male, yet I did not waver under its gaze. I could feel my boiling hatred for the buck rise in the back of my mind, but I have learned many ways in taming this ugly beast long ago.

"You must be the leader of this Caribou species, I'm presuming." I said letting the tiniest amounts of my anger seep through my tone.

Dainn just looked at me slightly taken a back like he was aware my voiced hatred for him. However, he seem to recover about of his previous confidence a smirk forming aginst his muzzle. "Ah, a worthy opponent from my god? It's an honor to fight you then. I am God King Dainn of the Stonehoof-"

"Yeah, I'm bored. Get to the point. I don't have time to twiddle my thumbs here." I interrupted nonchalantly.

Anger was clear on his face as he drew his war hammer. "You're a cocky bastard, aren't you? Let's see how cocky you'll be after I knock out all of you teeth in!" Dainn proclaimed moving the war hammer toward my head.

I saw it coming, however, before stepping backwards. Apocalypse materialized in my hands soon after. Countering his strike, I slashed his left bisep making a fairly large wound. He cried out in pain retreating a nit to give distance. I couldn't help allow a smile to spread across my face.

"Who said I was being cocky?" I asked him.

The buck grit his teeth in anger before letting out a war cry. His body glowed with unholy amounts of magic. I could tell his magic reserves were expanding too. That doesn't mean I wasn't familiar with this type of magic though. I had spot the runes on his armor piece to make out the same ancient runes from my original universe. This magic was purely my universe's magic which explained why he was so much stronger than the current natives to Equis.

"No matter,
I'll just have to do this on his level."

I could feel the current magic struggling to break the world's seals on me. It took a lot of normal magic to finally pry it open. The rush of raw power filled my veins. An black substance liquid dripped off my body and limps like ink on the floor.

Dainn noticed this strange detail along side the alicorns while I approach the bastard. I smiled again but this time even bigger than before. "I would like to thank you though, Dainn. Now I can get some real practice in. It's been so long too."

The buck would have added on to what I said if a black spike jolts from the ground into Dainn's arm. His magic automatically broke the spike leaving it in his plugged wound. His war hammer glowed purple with power before he slammed it into the floor. A split second pause followed with a ground pillar to form underneath me. I easily avoid the attack before dashing straight at Dainn. I slash with Apocalypse again, but this time his war hammer collided with my weapon putting us into a stalemate.

"You are fighting me without any armor?! Are you mad! You first disgraced my pride. Then, you made me bleed from your sickening rituals, and now you mock my own power in front of my face?!" Dainn exclaimed breaking the stalemate before I went flying backwards.

Fortunately, I kept a footing on the floor skidding to a stop. His power turned to a dark purple color before his eyes changed to purple slivers, sharpened teeth and a fork tounge.

"Death is the only answer for such treason!" He declared dashing at lightning fast speeds toward me.

I smile unwavered. "Perfect. Just as I planned."

Suddenly, before Dainn could even slice open my precious neck, my rune activated underneath him freezing every muscle in his body like a paralysis spell. His eyes widen on shock before I moved around to his side sighing in disappointment.

"Honestly, Dainn, I was expecting more from a ruler like yourself. However, you treat my ancestors runes like they are playthings to explore. You say I disrespect you? You dishonored me and my ancestor's magic!"

I sharply elbowed my knee into Dainn with a force of a sound wave hearing the sickening sound of bone and flesh breaking under the pressure. I could briefly see tears streak Dainn's eyes in pure silent agony.

A sadistic smile crept my features before I chuckled sinisterly. "Sucks having the inability to move, does it?" I asked rhetorically.

The room went dead silent. Even the alicorns cringed in disgust at my brutal mental and physical abuse toward Dainn. But personally, I didn't care. My smile faltered remembering Discord's mismatched face of horror and my unsealing time limit causing me to automatically sigh.

"Well that's a pity, looks like I have no more further time to spare. Well, it was a pleasure working with you, Dainn. I'll see you in the Realm of Darkness." I said leaning inches from his paralysed face before I inhaled from my mouth.

A steady stream of a misty rainbow colored fog escaped his mouth before entering mine. I then could feel his emotions more clearly. Anger, Despair, Hatred, and Fear. Most of the other emotions were close to little or none at all.... Just how I like it.

I also felt my magic restore itself at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, the emotions stopped coming shortly after I come to find out I have completely drained the buck of every emotion. I stopped my eating before my magic seal to reasserted itself causing the rune to slowly fade away. It didn't take long for Dainn's corpse to collapse on the broken floor.

The rune holding down the two alicorns also disappeared causing Luna to run to her unconscious sister while Twilight could only stare mouth agaped at me. I could see my usefulness was coming to an end, so I decided to tried to take my leave.

"Wait. When my sister awakes, who should we thank for rescuing our lives? Art thou wanting payment and glory?" Luna asked me.

That caused me to pause. A small smirk graced my lips before I turned to face the two alicorns. "I wish for no reward for my serves. I only desire to leave this world. We might meet against if the tide is right." I replied ominously before resuming my walk out of the castle.

Outside the castle was like a massacre. Many places were burned or destroyed from the non-stop fighting. I could still here the screaming of innocents and soldiers having at each other.

"Hear me out my countrystallion and mares! The Caribou King, Dainn, has been slain!" I heard Twilight proclaimed in her Canterlot voice.

I could also hear the faint cheering and continued the slaughter of the remaining Caribou. It hardly mattered right now. My thoughts were more concerned on the mismatched Spirit of Chaos. I materialized a dark cloak over me pulling the hood over my head before I resumed my casual walk.

"What happened to Discord?"

Author's Note

Hello everyone. If you haven't noticed with the last part, I kind of made some changes from the original storyline. (I also had cooler ideas to add to this world which is way I decided to mold it into something better. Anyway, I hope you all have enjoyed this til next chapter.....
