A New Pet Cat Named Neferpitou
It Does Not Match The Drapes

'Thought'
__________
'She's just entertainment, nothing more, nothing less...'
Discord, who was once again seated upon his throne, gazed intently at and deep in thought about Neferpitou, who was currently utilizing her Clownesque Puppeteer on several random ponies, much to their screams of terror and reluctant submission.
'It's not like I'm keeping her around because I've grown attached to her or enjoy her company, clearly nothing like that...'
Discord closed his eyes tightly, and clenched onto his throne with both his lion and eagle claws, which made it crack a bit; he was clearly having a mental dilemma, and the screaming ponies weren't helping much.
'She said it herself, she's nothing more than my slave, a simple tool to use, a toy that I can throw away when I'm done with her!'
Discord was getting beyond upset, frustrated, and very conflicted, he couldn't even think straight from all his cluttered and contradictory thoughts he was having, not mention each time he thinks any negative way about Neferpitou made his heart feel heavy and ache, which only fueled his anger
"Someone Please Save Us-"
"SHUT THEM UP ALREADY!"
The ponies were loud, fearful, and begging; their screams were enough to make Discord finally snap, as he yelled loudly enough at Neferpitou that the entire world shook. This caused her to stumble a bit and look at her sire with a startled expression, which only increased the guilt in his heart, which also made him angrier for feeling it.
"Of course, right away, Sire."
Neferpitou politely bows and accepted the order given to her, as she turns around to look and get ready to silence, which made the ponies even more fearful and scared
'She means nothing to me, Neferpitou is nothing to me, and she'll never become something, never, ever, forever and beyond...'
Discord rubbed his temples and tried to focus his thoughts once more; no doubt, all of this internal mental struggle was taking a toll on him. As he was trying to calm both his emotions and increasing headache, he glanced back up and noticed Pitou raising her hand at the screaming ponies.
"Neferpitou, what are you doing-"
And in one swift motion, without giving Discord a chance to question her actions, her Royal Guard managed to cut off all their heads from their bodies in one sweeping motion, which definitely silenced them all, though it did leave a big mess of blood in the process.
"OH MY WORD?!"
Discord was beyond shocked and mortified by what he had just witnessed; in all of his life of causing chaos, this was the first time he had ever experienced someone killing a pony without hesitation. He wasn't prepared for this and clearly didn't know how to handle it.
"They have been silenced, Sire, what would you like me to do with their bodies?"
As Neferpitou looked at her Sire with a blood-covered face, while still maintaining her usual calm smile, as if she hadn't just killed someone, was enough to make the Lord of Chaos himself vomit, for real this time without faking it.
"S-Sire?! Are you-"
Neferpitou immediately worried to see her Sire looking so ill and was about to run up to him to take care of him, but when she saw him running away from her, he immediately jumped up and hid behind his throne.
"Get Away From Me!"
Discord poked his head out from behind the throne and glared harshly at the chimera neko, causing her to pause and stop in her steps, looking confused by his reaction.
"B-But Sire-"
Neferpitou reached out and took a step forward, but all that earned her was the Spirit of Disharmony holding her up in the air with telekinetic magic and throwing her far away from him, causing her to crash hard against a tree with her back.
"I SAID TO GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Discord practically roared at Pitou, causing her to flinch and avoid his angry gaze.
"... As you wish, Sire..."
All Neferpitou could say before slowly standing back up to her feet, grabbed onto her hurt arm with a free hand and just started to leave her Sire alone; she had a slight limp while walking away. The Draconequus just watched her leave him, before turning his attention back at the ponies that were killed. He let out a sigh and snapped his fingers, in an instant, the dead were back to life, heads popping back on as if they were dolls, and once they were alive, they couldn't help but look extremely traumatized and confused from what they experienced.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean for Neferpitou to kill you."
Discord simply ignored the chaos and sat back on his throne, he snapped his fingers and the revived ponies found themselves wearing vacation clothes and surrounded by their families who had just appeared before them.
"Here, now you and your family will be spared from my chaos, as my way of making up for your deaths, goodbye."
Discord reached into his ear and pulled out a black portal, threw it under the ponies, and let them fall in it, before zipping it up and leaving him alone to think.
"..."
Discord wanted to be mad at Neferpitou; he was mad at her, no doubt. Killing was a step too far, even for his own standards, however, when he had a moment to think about it, both in what she did and how he reacted to it, despite being justified, he just couldn't help but feel his heart grow heavier and filled with small amounts of guilt.
"... Was I too harsh with her?..."
The memory of seeing Neferpitou get hurt by him and the look of disappointment on her face, which had been burned into his mind, kept playing over and over again in his head.
"Oh Course I Was! She Just Killed Someone, She Deserved It!"
But Discord was immediately shouted down by another Discord, which had grown out of his neck and was shouting in rage.
"But she was only doing what I ordered her to do...."
The first head of Discord tried to defend Neferpitou from his second head.
"I Did Not Tell Her To Kill!"
The second head of Discord did not take kindly to this and promptly yelled back at the first head.
"Maybe I should apologize for yelling and attacking her like that?..."
The first head Discord continues to act and look more guilty as the memory of what he did to her continues to replay in his brain over and over again.
"She Doesn't Deserve It!"
However, the second head discord completely rejected the idea, as his own mind was replaying the memory of seeing the ponies get killed by Neferpitou, which made him refuse the very idea of being the one to apologize to her.
"YES SHE DOES!"
But the guilty and depressed first head of Discord finally yelled back and wanted so badly to say sorry to Neferpitou.
"NO SHE DOESN'T!"
The angry and frustrated second head continued to reject the idea of forgiving, asking for forgiveness or even seeing Neferpitou ever again.
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"Playtime Is Over For You Discord!"
The two heads of Discord stopped their argument when they suddenly heard a familiar voice; both heads turned to look and see six female ponies looking at them with determination and motivation. There was a white unicorn with a diamond-cutie mark and necklace named Rarity, an orange cowgirl earth pony with an apple cutie mark and necklace named Applejack, a yellow shy pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark and necklace named Fluttershy, a pink happy earth pony with a balloon cutie mark and necklace named Pinkie Pie, a blue rainbow hair pegasus with a rainbow bolt cutie mark and necklace named Rainbow Dash, and last but not least, there was a purple unicorn with a star cutie mark and crown named Twilight Sparkle. The Lord of Chaos, who had fused his head back together, just looked at the Mane Six with wide eyes in surprise. There were a lot of things he hadn't expected yesterday, which was today.
"Oh?..."
Meanwhile, in the middle of the chaotic forest, Neferpitou could be seen sitting on her knees by a small green pond filled with swimming mammals and random fish, all of them drinking the water while on land; the chimera neko simply ignored everything else, focusing instead on using the green water to clean herself off the blood, while also taking the opportunity to inspect her injured arm, which was badly bruised but thankfully not broken.
'What have I done to upset him so much?...'
While Neferpitou was cleaning and checking herself, she couldn't help but wear a very conflicted and saddened face, as she struggled to understand the reason why her sire, Discord, was so upset with her; to her, it just came out of nowhere and made no sense, having fun together one moment and then being thrown away, quite literally she might add, it made her feel quite frustrated if she was being honest, though the more she thought about it, and when she looked at her hands, the upsetting confusion was slowly turning into realization, as if she found out a possible answer to her question.
'Was it because I-?'
But before Neferpitou could finally understand what her troubles were, her cat ears suddenly twitched, and when they did, her whole body tensed up greatly, causing her to turn her head behind herself and wear very wide eyes that were filled with shock and extreme concern. Without a second thought or hesitation, she almost instantly jumped back up to her feet and ran back as fast as she could, so fast in fact that in her perspective, everything seemed to slow down to a snail's pace; not only that, but as she was running, she refused to let anything stop her or get in her way, which included trees - she would just simply smash through each tree she came across, resulting in them exploding into splinters from the impact force alone. She continued to run in a straight line, faster and faster and faster until finally reaching the edge of the forest. Soon enough, she found herself out of the forest she had been in, though once she was out, she couldn't help but wear a very horrified expression, for what she saw was Discord, her Lord whom she had sworn to protect with her life, being about to be hit with some sort of rainbow-colored beam that was shot by the Mane Six. Judging from his panicked face, she knew it was something she couldn't allow to happen to him.
"DISCORD!"
Wasting no more time, Neferpitou bent her legs, which began to bulge and grow considerably, and without a second to lose, she jumped, with enough force to shatter the entire ground and blow away all the trees behind her. This type of power and speed was enough to get close to them; both Discord and the Mane Six only had a moment to notice and see what was going on before the chimera neko pushed herself forward and allowed herself to get hit by the rainbow beam. A flash of bright light blinded everyone, forcing them all to cover and protect their eyes. Luckily, the light only lasted for a minute before it went away, and when it did, everyone looked back and were shocked to see that all that remained were the Royal Guards who managed to protect their lord, but in return were hit by the beam and turned into wooden puppets, which promptly fell to the ground, unmoving, unresponsive, and with no hint of life within them.
"NEFERPITOU!"
________________
I wish to be clear on something, I'm not gonna do every episode in MLP, since the main character is Discord and Neferpitou, maybe Fluttershy as well, so I will only do episode that either has Discord in it, have something Discord and Neferpitou would realistically be in, or just make something up entirely, so yeah, I'm open to suggestions.
(BTW, here's a random unrelated hint, a character with swirly eyes will make an appearance soon)
/Royal Guard Ideas, Morals, And Friends\
Neferpitou: "Chaotic Good", she ain't no saint and being around Discord doesn't really help things, but she is not entirely heartless and could even be understanding sometimes, also speaking of Discord, she will continue to follow him, not only because she confused him as her king, but also because he's a joy to be with, they're gonna be great friends.
Menthuthuyoupi: "True Neutral", he is not good or evil, unlike Pitou more kinder nature or Pouf more cruelty personality, Youpi is just, well, he's just there, he still has desire to serve his true king, however instead of following someone who isn't his true king, or do everything to bring back his king, he will simply just wait, wait and see if his real King will actually arrive or not, because that all he knows, from his point of view, now as for who will be his friend, well, since he is technically more animal than human, I would say either Fluttershy, or maybe even Treehugger or Derpy, for obvious reasons.
Shaiapouf: "Lawful Evil", when I say lawful, I meant that he isn't some kind of villain who'll do evil just for the sake of it, he's more smarter than that, however his main goal is to either do everything that he can to find his real King, or create his own King worthy enough to serve, BTW he won't have, "Friends", per say, but he'll probably show up during, or maybe after Tirek thing, maybe.
(Side notes, unlike Neferpitou, I'm still planning on how to use Menthuthuyoupi and Shaiapouf, so these ideas I just came up with might not be set in stone, but it is something I'm definitely considering, of course like I said before, I'm open go suggestions and ideas~)
