Chapter 2: God Stuck in Stone? Try Chaos

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

(POV: Laurence) Timeskip: 500 Years Later...

You know, being stuck in stone ain't so bad, especially after the first couple hundred years, really helps with patience, I feel like I could handle fifty screaming babies and not even bat an eyelash...

Oh who am I kidding, it feels like the most boring thing in the world, like staring at drying paint! I MEAN COME ON!!! I feel like my mind is gonna explode, just shatter if I have to endure any longer!

I calm my frustrations of the mind, and instead focus on locating those missing pieces of myself. Pushing my power, and searching with as far as I could, seeing as being stone severely cuts back magical power, and keeps me in place.

I sense two of those five pieces, the rest were still coming up blank, not a trace, I hope that I wont have to do something stupid or crazy to get myself back to one hundred percent, that said, I slowly brood on my current situation, just how might I even escape? Thats the question, I think I have an answer to...

Timeskip: 500 Years Later...

I sat, waiting patiently for a specific event to happen, seeing as it may be my only chance outta here... Oh?

I stared at a group of ponies walking through the garden, watching an explanation on Discord, then, I realize, things were getting random, I could only hope for the best. Watching events unfold, I felt an inner smirk occur as the spell started to falter in Discord's presence.

Before long, I could escape, I did so after Discord left, shattering the stone and landing on the grass, stretching my limbs, I glance around "Huh, and here I thought more guards would be stationed..." I said, turning a corner, only to face two surprised guards, I blink, they blink... "Ehhh... Allo, my name is Jäger, ow might I make your acquaintance?" Lets just say, being funny in that situation wasn't a good idea...

I ran the other way, behind me, the guards shouting for me to halt, while chasing me with spears. Bursting from a hedge, I see a cliff, welp, time to skiddadle skidoodle, flying right over the edge, I use my power over randomness to save me from my fall.

Falling, I see a trampoline salespony below... "D'aw shit..." was all I got out as I hit said instrument of bounce, and then flying forward, skidding over a couple of roofs was the outcome, I then found another freefall, this time toward a small lake connecting to a river "...... Fuck you, Newton, fuck yo-" was all I got before slamming into the water with a loud slap sound.

A couple hours later...

I spit out some water, then proceeded to use my power of randomness for a random item that can dry stuff, ending up with a hairdryer. "HOW IN THE NAME OF THE MOTHERFUCKIN GLOBGOGABALAB DO I EVEN USE THIS SHIT?!?! ELECTRICITY DOESN'T EXIST YET!!! HOW CAN THIS GET EVEN WORSE?!?!" As if to answer my question, a horde of long-legged, sharp-toothed bunnies were standing a couple feet away staring at me...

"..... Newton, I suddenly find Murphy is your contender of 'People who get a kick outta trolling me' I mean seriously, fuckin wolf bunnies?" I was then on the run, readying my shield and sword to destroy some bunny as- flank, I mean flank. Staring down the charging bunnies, I activate my power over randomness, hoping for something good.

What happens next is fucking hilarious, one ends up tripping, and falling flat, which then, causes all of them to fall in a writhing heap, and I stare at this for a second in wonder, then jump as motherfuckin lightning blasts the hell outta them, leaving them hairless and pretty cooked... I can't lie when the prospect of meat, cooked meat to be exact, is just sitting there, I look up to see where the lightning came from, and I see a cloud with a recovering Derpy, who shakes herself off and flies away...

Deciding not to let the meat go to waste, I tear three legs off and start mcstuffin my face, as I run like a bat outta hell. After awhile of running forward, I see a town in the distance, which, I see the sign with the words 'Welcome To Ponyville' engraved in the sign, I wonder what the hell I should do, when the screams of ponies assaults my ears, I blink and look where I could in the town and I see... Chaos.

Walking around the chaotic town, I find that it would be dangerous to use the power of random, cause random plus chaos will make nothing good... However soon I see Discord lounging on a throne drinking chocolate milk, but, instead of drinking the contents of the glass, he was drinking the glass itself, and where were the elements?

As Laurence thinks on this, he looks around hoping to spot them, to no avail, not even the discorded ones were around, he sighed, then looked at Discord, a small thought occurs 'Why not stop him myself?' To which I proceed out of cover, and walk to him, shield and sword at the ready.

"Ey! Nightmare Night ain't here yet! Get your mismatched ass outta here!" I yell, pointing my sword at him, Discord looks boredly my way, until he sees me. He gets up and pops infront of me "And what manner of creature are you?" He asks me, lifting arms and even rummaging through my pockets, pulling out things I didn't have before, he even pull a 'Playcolt' magazine, he puts his hand to his mouth "Oooh~ Scandalous..." he quips, as he tosses it away, and so I speak "By all thats screwed up and obscene, I'm a human, or well, used to be, now, I am out to find somethings, you, however, are getting on my nerves, but, not as much as Newton and Murphy, so thats good."

He stares a few seconds, then shrugs "Well, I don't have more time to dilly dally, excuse me as I go and deal with some rather troublesome mares, toodaloo~!" He says, as he turns his back on me, and floats away "Hey!" I yell rushing to him, planning to stop him, but, he teleports away, and that became somewhat annoying "God Damnit all..." I say as I rub the bridge of my nose.

I search for Discords mismatched ass, till my feet hurt, I sit down and rest, after all, I was tired, my eyes slipped as I was dragged to the realm of sleep, all I had was nightmares...

By morning, I had more bags than a khajit trader, and that was saying something, taking a stand, I stumble forward, and I look around, the chaos still going on, and that's when I knew something was wrong, after Discord is tuned to stone this should have disappeared?

I walk to where Discords throne is and find him snoring louder than a fucking dragon, I sigh, before walking over, grab some dirt, and shove it in his mouth.

To say the God of Chaos enjoyed his 'dirty' breakfast was an overstatement, he coughed, gagged and spit, wiping off his tongue, he looked at me "What do YOU want?" He asked annoyed.

"Da hell you not in stone looking like a pansy ass yet?" I ask with blunt rudeness, he scoffs, then stretches, he stands, then speaks "You see my human friend! I! Discord, Lord of Chaos! Have bested the puny Elements of Harmony!" He then flexed on me, to which I slapped him with a shield.

Discord was sent flying from my strength alone, crashing through his throne, and into a building, I blink with surprise and look at my shield "Well... Damn."

However, I was nowhere near done as Discord came from the cloud of debris, wood, stone, and straw spilling off him, he brushed himself off, he looked at me "Well, that was uncalled for! I didn't even threaten you! And you hit me?!?!" He gets in my face with angry eyes "Do YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!" He asks, to which I respond "Is dumbass a correct answer, cause, that's what I see, by the by, the Elements are behind you." I point behind him, he turns around "Huh?" He says, then I proceed to slam my shield against his back, sending him down the road, skidding.

I drop into a battle-ready stance, Discord teleporting into a standing stance, anger on his face "THAT'S IT! I AM DONE WITH YOU, NOW PREPARE TO DIE!" Discord yells, snapping his fingers and suddenly, hell broke loose every which way, random objects flew at me.

Quick dodges and varying blocks made for a great defense against, knives, rubble, a- WAS THAT A BALD EAGLE?!?! "DISCORD! Endangering Bald Eagles in the States is illegal! How dare you!" I yell at him, slamming a large wave of debris away, before bull rushing with the tower shield, multiple things were thrown my way, and I realized I was coming to a slow, and then, I was thrown backwards.

I sailed through the air, crashing into a cart, I then raise up with a glare directed at Discord "Ye dun fucked up bucky the tooth." I say, Discord then yells out as he throws more shit at me.

I barely dodge, and I look down and see a knife, and some glass sticking out of my legs, I curse as I pull it all out, then stand, faltering. Discord smiles "See what happens? You cannot hope to face me! I am DISCORD, God of Chaos!" He says before cackling, and damnit all, I need something a bit more reliable than a shield and sword, I need some firepower, otherwise, I will become a metallic porcupine!

A quick scan of surroundings makes me realize that, there were no other weapons, and that I might be fubbernucked, I thought 'What now?' And suddenly, I feel something close by, something, powerful...

I make a beeline for an alley, Discord laughing, and taunting me "Running? I thought you were trying to beat me! But yet, you're just as weak as those mares!" I growled as he said that, and I knew he wouldn't laugh soon enough, I continue my dodge skills, and brush death nearly fifty times as it felt, I managed to get to the main road of Ponyville, and I felt the powerful signature emanate from it.

Discord appeared, in my way, a smile on his face, I snarl, readying my shield, as he had multiple objects sail toward me, I roar "YOU'RE IN THE WAY!!!" I yell, rushing headlong, slamming into the rubble, this time, I was able to push through, using my power over the random, all the objects went sideways after slamming into my shield, and around it.

Debris flew into buildings, behind me, and some ended up hitting me, cuts, scrapes, and gashes, but, I. Won't. BARGE!!! With a loud yell, I pushed through, straight at Discord, he looked surprised.

Still slamming forward, he yelped, and dodged, but, I kept running, straight to the town hall, hanging up the shield, speeding down the road, Discord was quick to send more debris my way which either hit, or got deflected by the shield, reaching the hall, I looked around, then up, feeling the presence, looking back, I see Discord coming up.

Discord clapped "Bravo! Bravo! You put yourself in a dead end! Now! Just lay down your arms, and take your beating like a good human... Discord lifted his hand, preparing to snap, I pull up my shield, readying myself again, and with a snap, it all came crashing my way.

Instead of hitting, everything seemed to freeze, I blinked, confused, 'What happened?' I looked at Discord, still smug, still there, just not moving...

A voice behind me catches me off guard "Ah, there you are creator, long have I missed you! Do not be alarmed, I am part of your current state, turn around, and you shall know..." Turning around, I see a large albino snake, its red eyes looking down at me, within its mouth was a balance scale.

I stared in awe, just how would one comprehend this? "What are you?" The large snake sighed, then gazed upon the horizon, its red eyes searching "I am you, a different aspect of you, a part of your godhood." I blink, then remain silent, I mean, what should be done? It looks to me, I decide to speak "Which aspect of my godhood? I still have randomness, but, which are..."

And then I realized which part it was, it nods "I am that part of you, and it appears you need me, now more than ever..." he says, his gaze falling to Discord.

"I cannot stop what is about to happen... But, please, allow randomness to happen, and then, I want you to wreck his shit, understand?" I nod at the serpent, he smiles at me, then slowly dissipates.

I am blasted as time comes back to normal, making the hall crash down on me, Discord laughing maniacally all the while.

Everything hurt and black started to consume me, unconsciousness seemed like a godsend, I chuckled, somewhat wondering what was happening with randomness, was it working? Laurence did not know, but, the dark called to him, but, before passing out a golden flash was seen.

Laurence smirked "Cheeky bastard..." He said, before passing out, due to pain.

(POV Switch: Discord)

Now, with that self-righteous human gone, I can do some much-needed chaos, a good stretch, and some chocolate milk, I summon all the Elements, bound up in rope, hog style.

"DISCORD!!!" All the mares yell, angry glares on their faces, Discord chuckled "Girls! Good to see your all holding up rather well!" I exclaimed with excitement, I suddenly had the pink-maned one, Fluttershy I believe, in my arms, I pet her like a cat.

"Discord let her go!" Said the blue one, whom struggled harshly against her bindings "I swear by Celestia, if you hurt one hair on her mane, I am going t-" she of course was cut off, as Discord simply snapped his fingers, which put tape over her mouth, which devolved her to a bunch of loud mumbling. Discord continued to pet Fluttershy, a deep chuckle escaping him, he heard the poor pegasus whimper in fear, he held his smirk, oh to be evil!

"Dat gummit ya varmint, leave Fluttershy alone! She ain't done nothing to ya!" Applejack said, Discord looked at the farmer, a raised brow complimenting his smile. "Oh? You think you know how a 'GOD' feels, little Applejack? Such arrogance.* I said with a gleeful laugh.

"Absolutely priceless, still, with that pest gone, and the elements elsewhere, you are powerless to defeat me!" I cackle maniacally, however, a shout from above makes me look up, only to be met with a pair of hooves to my face, dropping Fluttershy as I flew.

Standing there in full glory was Princess Luna, the mares cheered at her arrival, hopeful to see me served right, I growl, "Oh! Luna deary! How might you be? Did the power trip go alright?" I asked a knowing smile as she glared harshly.

"Discord... Thou art a threat to Equestria! Prepare to be struck down heathen!" Luna yelled, charging toward him, while charging her horn, Discord, then decided to stop that with rubble, and a nice old pan to the head.

With Luna unconscious, the Elements bound, and a more than likely dead human, Discord started to cackle, and loudly he did so, except... Something was wrong.

Discord stopped cackling, a shifting sound heard, the sound of rubble, I looked over, and I saw him, the human, standing, and what looked like near death, I rose a brow, while the mares gasp, a chuckle escapes me.

"Not dead? Impressive human, very impressive, the question, however, is how do you plan on stopping me? What could you possibly use to defeat, I, Discord!" I say a large smile on my face.

The human smiles, he pulls himself to the brought down bell, reaching in, and tearing out the metal stick with the ball end.

"Simple." He says, then rips open the ball, and he catches something that fell out, bringing it to his face.

It was a glowing golden ball, a bad feeling arose inside me.

The human ate the ball, swallowing easily.

He looks at me with a smile, his body suddenly lighting up with energy, golden energy.

"What I am gonna use to beat ya ugly ass is the most simple and direct thing in the book!" He says.

Behind his shoulder, raise two dragon skulls, with glowing sockets, his own eyes turning black, before his left eyes iris, turned gold.

"Justice...
