I Am NOT Twilight Sparkle!

Today was to be a good day, a hopeful day. A day where a lost soul could reunite with those she loved and cared for, and those who love and care for her would be overjoyed to see their lost one back in their arms. Today Zack had learned that both princess Celestia and her sister princess Luna, had everything nearly done to create a way for the way ward human transformed into an alicorn mare back home, and be reunited with her family. Everything was perfect! The conduit for the portal was primed, the magic circuit was crafted flawlessly and supplied with enough magic to power the process, and the spells were in place. Everything was order…

And yet, something went horribly wrong.

As Zack reached out to the portal, the thought of seeing her family again filled he heart with such joy…the portal rejected her! the mare was flung across the throne room of the castle, crashing into the large double doors so hard, the mare’s body was wracked with pain. And then as she recovered from her rejection, she along with the other occupants of the chamber watched as the source of the portal crumbed away, turning to grains of black sand as the circle faded away as if being burned away.

Zack weakly rose to her hooves and trotted over to where the stone’s remains were, eyes never leaving the small pile of grounded up stone powder. The other ponies and drake could only look on the scene, and the sight of seeing the violet of alicorn with an aura of deep despair and fear, with mournful and sad expressions. As the mare reached the pile of sand all she did was just look down at it, her eyes starting to overflow with tears before she collapsed to floor, and began sobbing.

“Zack.” Celestia says as she trots over to the mare and lays down next to her, and tries to comfort her. “There, there, shhh.” The princess says as she brings the mare into a hug with her wings.

“Luna, what happened? I thought we did everything perfectly?” Twilight questioned, but Luna seemed just as baffled.

“I…I don’t know! Celestia and I made sure to check that everything was done down to the letter.” Luna said as she grabbed the books, and began to look for anything to explain what just happened. And while the princess did so, the whole group made their way over to the sobbing mare being held by the solar princess.

But just as they were trying to comfort Zack in her turmoil, all of them heard something…the sound of cackling laughter. All of the ponies looked around for the source of the laughter, and when they looked over to where the lone throne was, where the form of Discord started to phase into existence. While he rolls around clutching his stomach as he laughs hysterically.

“Discord! What are you doing here?” Twilight asked the laughing draconequus. “And why are you laughing?”

“Because this is just to good!” the chaos spirit cackled. “This is better than any drama or soap opera there is!”

“Disocrd this is no laughing matter!” Celestia said as stood up and made her way to the throne. But after she blinked, Discord was gone, but his laughter could still be heard everywhere.

“I mean how can you not find this entertaining!” Discard says as he just appears behind from Zack, like a snake slithering out of its hole. “A poor boy being swept, no! spirited away by some, unknown force—” the chaos spirit grinned as he looked over at the ponies, a mischievous grin on his face.

“…it…it was you.” Luna said as she circled around the spirit and the still sobbing Zack. “You were the one who brought Zack to Equestria!”

“CORRECT!” Discord boomed as fireworks and party poppers erupt from behind the spirit. “Yes it was me that brought little Zack here.”

“B-but why?” Fluttershy asked, confused as to why her friend would do this. Discord then sat down in old timey recliner chair, dressed up in a fancy suit as he holds a book.

“Well it all started long ago, when I was reformed.” Discord then turned his book to face the ponies, where foal-grade pictures were.

“You see ever since I was reformed, I’ve been begging for any chance to use my powers to their fullest extent! And cause chaos, because well, I’m Discord! If I can’t chaos then what kind of spirit of chaos am I?” the picture of Discord on the page showed the spirit do what he loves to do, but then stopped as pictures of Celestia and Luna showed up and waved their hooves in disapproval.

“Well in any case, for the past year after my reformation, I’ve been starving for anything that would allow me to use my powers without getting in trouble. But there were rarely any incidents that I can instigate, or have a hand a in orchestrating. And it’s just been so, BORING!” the picture of discord emphasized the word board by yelling the word out before it melted into a puddle of something, while a sad face was drawn it.

“It has been so hard to keep myself from going insane to figure out how to occupy my time. And while our personal tea times have been fun Fluttershy, they’re not exactly the spectacle of entertainment that I’m used to.”

“W-wait!” Starlight said as she interrupts the spirits ramblings, while also having a hard time trying to comprehend Discord's thought process. “So, you did all of this, bring Zack here for something, but why?” Discord then looked at the ponies over his book.

“Why does anyone do anything.” Discord said as he shuts his book. “Sheer. Absolute. BOARDOM!” the spirited bellowed as he tossed the book to the side which went splat against the wall.

“Boredom!” Celestia echoed. “That’s your reason for doing all of this?”

“Of course! Honestly Celestia you ponies, and your society are so peaceful that its incredibly boring!” Discord bemoaned as he collapses to the floor in a heap. “even after the whole incident with Tirek, and the little side show of evil Starlight, there has been nothing fun to do or watch for the past two years after my reformation.”

“So I decided to go snooping around the infinite multi-verse to look for something to spice things up, and that’s when I came across this world!” Discord snapped his lions paw and created a see through planet, it looked somewhat similar to Equus, but the land masses were different.

“Is that?” Pinkie said as looked at the little globe.

“That’s right, this is the human world. Zack’s home world.” Discord says as he looks at it longingly.

“Humans are just the right mixture of harmony and chaos, and when they do go into chaos…” a twinkle then appeared. “So, I decided to bring one of these being to Equestria, and maybe cause a little chaos to really put on a show. And while he didn’t do as much as I wanted, he certainly provided a great deal of entertainment.”

“So that’s it!” Celestia said in very disapproving voice. “The reason you took Zack away from her world, home and family, was just to…satisfy your need for some kind of enjoyment!”

“Oh trust me it wasn’t easy even getting this human here.” Discord admitted. “I mean when I tried to summon him my magic didn’t do anything, so I really had to amp up how much magic I used. Which…unfortunately blew up his apartment, and maybe…vaporize his body.

“WHAT!” all of the mares aside from Zack shouted in perfect unison.

“Y-y…” Fluttershy tried to speak, but she just couldn’t bring herself to even say it, but Rainbow was perfectly capable of.

“YOU VAPORIZED HIM!”

“Well not on purpose, it’s just that I had to use more power to bring him here, which caused his body to be turned into space dust. But his soul was perfectly intact.” Discord countered, not realizing just the gravity of the situation he’s in, and caused. “But that’s when I had an excellent idea! Since I couldn’t really have a soul just wondering around, I decided to give him a custom body…one that I was sure would throw the populace of Equestria in some sort of hysteria.”

“And that’s why he looks just like Twilight?” Spike questioned.

“Yes. I plucked a strand of Twilight’s mane from her head—” said alicorn placed a hoof on her head. “And with that strand I created a new body for Zack’s soul to inhabit. Of course I did, modified it so it’s somewhat close to what he’s used to.

“Discord enough with this!” Celestia said as her mane and tail were wafting about more frequently, as she was growing more angry with each word that the chaos spirit says. “Tell me right now, can you send Zack back to his world or not?”

“Tia, this is me your talking to. I can do anything.” Discord says confidently. The draconequus then snapped his eagles talons to send Zack back to his world…but when the spirit opened his eyes, Zack was still there laying on the floor, no longer sobbing and was just lying there.

“That’s odd?” Discard says as he snaps his talons again, and yet nothing happened. The spirit tried a few more times, snapping and trying to send Zack home, but the alicorn was not leaving!

“Discord, what is going on?” Luna asked as her own frustration and anger were rising.

“I’m not sure.” Discord says as he strokes his beard. “Hold on a second.”

Discord then slipped his lions paw into a portal that appeared next to him, and started digging around for a few moments. The spirit then retracted his arm from the portal, and was now holding a black book that the ponies caught the title of the book which was, Laws of the Infinite Realities. The ponies then congregated to where Discord was floating, as he flipped through the thick book.

“Let’s see where is Earth…” Discord said as he keeps flipping through pages. “AH! Here we are.” The spirit said as he finds the section he was looking for. he then began muttering to himself as he reads the section.

“And when the individual—oh, OH! Oooooohhhhh.” Discord hisses as he reads the section.

“What’s wrong Discord?” Applejack asked.

“Well, the book states that: when a human passes on, their soul is then taken to the afterlife, where they be in a dream like state of their greatest fantasy, before their souls are reincarnated into a new body.”

“What does that mean?” Pinkie asked.

“It means…” Celestia said. “That because Discorded ended Zack’s normal life by, VAPORIZING, her old body she is classified as dead. And since her soul is in a different body, she is no longer part of her worlds rule of life and death.”

Discord then tossed the book back into a portal, and found all of the ponies plus Spike looking at him with varying degrees of disappointment. Except for Luna and Celestia, as they were giving the lord of chaos very upset glares.

“Maybe I didn’t think this plan all the way through.”

Before the ponies could really tear into Discord for how much the draconequus messed up, they and Discord felt this immense wave of magic wash over them. It was cold, to where their bones were chilled, and a horrible sense of lost and despair was felt in all their hearts. But the sense of cold was also accompanied by this rushing, horribly painful sense of raging fire that made them feel like they were suffocating, and actually having a hard time to breath. Then this crackling sound, like loose electricity, caught all of their attention and when they looked to where the sound, and the cold and fiery waves were coming from…they all recoiled as their hearts stopped for just a second as Zack looks at them. Even Discord himself felt this sense of immense danger as he looked upon the mare.

The violet mare’s horn was sparking with black lightning, and smoke was wafting from his…like those of King Sombra’s eyes. Tears were flowing like waterfalls from the mare’s eyes, as her mouth quivered and the sole eye that was glaring at them was glowing red as the pupil shrunk to pinpricks…and was directly looking at Discord with such intense malice and hatred, the spirit of chaos actually took a step back.

The silence was broken when the mare spoke, her voice now hollow, broken, and yet was so full of unbridled rage that fire should be sparking from her mouth. Even as she only spoke two little words.

....You're....DEAD!
