Alternate universe where Discord manages to evade the Elements, but not without a cost.

Discord is wholly defined by his powers. Without them, he would not be who he is. But what happens when it's taken away from him? What happens when the greatest threat to Equestria is cast down? More importantly, what happens to Discord?

Alternate universe in which Discord isn't turned into stone, but instead has has his powers taken away. First fic, so criticism is appreciated!

A World Without Chaos

By Betropper

"Let's show him what friendship can do!" The unicorn named Twilight Sparkle said. Or, at least, I think that's what her name is. I never really don't cared for it, way too organized and good sounding for my tastes. I'll have to change that later. But that's another matter.

Anyway, she and her group of so called "friends" just managed to do one of the only organized things I've seen them do all day and stand in a circle with their respective elements. Big deal. Everyone knows that the elements of harmony can only be used by avatars of each element and these worthless ponies were the complete opposite of them. I was actually suprised they managed to get here without killing each other. I made a couple more taunts just to seal the fact that I don't give a buck and sat back in my throne. They do deserve some applause though for managing to get Fluttershy to not slam a bucket on anypony's head. Or forcing Rainbow Dash to not run off. Or getting Pinkie to stop complaining....

In fact...

Wait.

Oh horseapples. They're back to normal, aren't they? Oh well, time for plan B.

As soon as the rainbow curved at me I activated my failsafe that I had prepared in case something like this happened. It used a big chunk of my energy, but speed up my brain enough for me to think. I don't think dodging it is a possibility, and even if I did I doubt I would have gotten far. I don't think any chaotic or evil creature can avoid it. Being the pure embodiment of both dosen't help with that either. There is nothing an avatar of chaos can do but be turned to stone when hit by that beam.

It wasn't fair. This isn't fair at all. Harmony gets to have it's way all the time! And I? I get NOT EVEN ONE FULL DAY of chaos in a thousand years. NOT ONE! Do you know how it is to be stone for all that time and not be able to ruin even one pony's day? Even if the moment is just asking for it? You probably don't, because you're not me, but trust me when I say it's bad! And you know what? I wasn't going to go back to that feeling of helplessness.

I examined the beam. It took a while, but I noticed that the elements are actually manifested in the form of each color of the rainbow that races at me now. I notice two in particular that stick out to me. Laughter and Magic. My two favorite elements out of the bunch, although Laughter beats Magic by far. In the blink of an eye, I waved my paw and redirected their flow. The rest of the beam hit me a few seconds later. It hurts like nothing else, and I felt as if every atom in my body was screaming in pain, but I lived. Not only that, but I wasn't stone. I stood up and looked at myself in suprise. "I'm not stone!" I exclaimed to the cowering ponies before me.

NOW they're going to pay I thought. While seeing the looks on their horrified faces is just priceless, nopony attacks  Discord and gets away with it. Oh yes, it's going to be specifically tailored for each one of them. First I'll turn Fluttershy into a helpless insect. I gleam the most wicked of grins at her and snap my fingers and presto! Fluttershy is...

Still the same.

In fact, all my snap appeared to do was clean up all the glorious chaos I had inflicted upon Ponyville, and in the background I felt my hold over Canterlot fail as well.

"Well this isn't good." I said as I noticed that my throne, and the hill I was on, just vanished. I hit the ground a few seconds later and blacked out.
