"Talk"
'Thought'
______________
"I must thank you again, Fluttershy, for helping me move out some of my old stuff from Princess Celestia storage room."
Inside some kind of royal storage room, something you would find deep within a castle, two certain individuals could be seen in said room of storage, as they were currently moving around and taking some of the many things inside, specifically moving it to a bag that looks small but was somehow able to hold everything that was put inside it
"It's no issue Discord, I'm always happy to help a friend in need."
One of the two that were in the storage room, was a beautiful young mare, specifically a pegasus pony, with gentle tear blue green eyes, lovely pink mane, and yellow fur, with some butterfly symbols on her flanks called a cutie mark, her name was Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness
"Though I must ask, why are we doing this? Can't you just have this all done in a snap of a finger?"
And while Fluttershy was doing her part in moving the things around in the storage room, she had company and was speaking with the 2nd person that was in the room, which was the mix match patchwork of animal parts, a Draconequus specifically, Discord himself, also known as the Lord of Chaos and Spirit of Disharmony
"I've... I've decided to punish myself by using less of my magic, besides simple travel and transportation..."
Discord's friend had asked a simple question, but when he answered back to such a simple question, it was clear it was much more than that, which the Element of Kindness noticed
"Besides, isn't it always fun to have a friend to spend time with while doing a little spring cleaning?~"
But Discord quickly tried to change the subject and tried to have fun with his friend
"Discord..."
However, Fluttershy knew better and called him out for it, which definitely made him tense up and pause
"Y-Yes Fluttershy?"
Discord nervously replied as he slowly looks back at her, but tried to avoid eye contact
"Me and my friends have already forgiven you, for what you did with Tirek."
Fluttershy had already brought up an unpleasant memory that shot the Draconequus like an arrow in his heart
"But if you don't mind me asking, why did you do what you did?"
But when Fluttershy finally asked the big question, "Why?", the Lord of Chaos could only sigh in defeat and looks away in shame
"I guess I was feeling a bit lonely..."
Though when Discord gave his answered why, it only left the yellow pegasus even more confused
"Lonely? But you have me, and Twilight, and Pinkie and-"
"Not that kind of lonely, Fluttershy."
Fluttershy was about to explain how Discord wasn't alone, though he stopped her, sighing again as he started to corrected her on what he meant
"When I say lonely, I mean I wish there was someone else like me to be with, someone I can call my equal in who and what I am."
When Discord properly explained himself, the shy pony felt like she was slowly starting to understand what he was talking about
"Do you mean as a Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony?"
Fluttershy asked and was curious if that was what he meant when he said "Equals"
"Well, not exactly another chaotic creature, but someone as old as me, as powerful as me, and just..."
Discord then looks down, seeing a box with a broken mirror, as it gave him the illusion of seeing multiple versions of himself
"Just someone who can relate with me..."
But Discord quickly closed the box and tossed it away in the magic bag
"Of course, I'm not saying I would trade your friendship for another, I already made that mistake once, I don't plan to do so again."
Discord then quickly flies towards his friend and picks her up, so that he may give her a big hug, which she was able to return the favor
"Thank you Discord, and I do hope you can make a friend with whom you could consider your equal."
After that beautiful moment of friendship, and with Fluttershy comforting her chaotic friend, the two went back to work in cleaning up the entire storage room, it might've taken an hour or two, but sooner or later, the once overly crowded place was nothing more than a big empty space, which could be used one day to store something else much more important and valuable
"And that should be everything, it took longer than expected, but it was actually fun to do something without magic~"
Discord, while stretching his sore limbs and taking a moment to admire his work, he couldn't help but feel very proud of himself with what he was able to accomplish without using his magic
"Um, I think you forgot something, Discord?"
Though before the Spirit of Disharmony could celebrate more with what he did, Fluttershy had interrupted as she then pushed a large treasure chest towards him
"Oh? What is this?"
Which definitely caught Discord attention, picking up what his friend was bringing him, and looking at it with slight confusion
"You're saying you don't know what this is?"
Fluttershy tilts her head, also confused
"I must admit, this box isn't bringing back any memories."
Discord shook his head no, though he couldn't help but look at it with slight curiosity
"Though judging how old and ancient it looks, it must've been something from my past, before I took over all of Equestria."
However, the interest for the treasure chest wasn't enough for Discord to care about it
"Why don't you keep it?"
In fact, Discord decided to let his friend keep what she had found, much to her surprise
"H-Huh, are you sure?"
Fluttershy didn't know what to say to this as she watched her chaotic friend place the item back in front of her
"Consider it as thanks for being a good friend to me."
Discord clearly meant what he said, and didn't mind letting her have it, which she did appreciate it
"But what should I do with it?"
However, Fluttershy didn't know exactly what she should do with it
"Up to you really, you can sell whatever is inside, or keep it as a gift, you can even throw it away if there's nothing you like in it, it won't bother me in the slightest."
But Discord just shrugs in response, as he didn't care that much what happens to the treasure chest, he even gave her the permission to completely destroy it if she didn't like what she saw inside, which she would never do, but did understand the settlement
"Ok, thank you Discord."
In the end, Fluttershy just accepted her gift, no matter what was actually in it, she takes it and thanked her chaotic friend for it
"With all that said and done, I shall handle the rest from here, I'll see you at our next tea party, bye bye~"
Once all was said and done, Discord decided to finish the rest by himself, saying his goodbye to his friend and was prepared to send her away
"I can't wait, good bye."
And after Fluttershy said her goodbyes, she was sent away as with the snap of Discord fingers, no longer in the storage room, as she found herself back at her own home, the cottage
"It's always nice to get out of the house once in a while."
Fluttershy couldn't help but admit how much she enjoyed her time away from home
"Though nothing beats being back home after a hard day of work."
But at the same time, when Fluttershy saw her Angel Bunny, which she pets and nuzzles him, she would always appreciate that she was back home again
"Hmm..."
Though before Fluttershy could enjoy the wonders of being back home, she paused herself as she then looks up and saw the treasure chest that she was given again, letting out a thoughtful home as she then started to think about on what she do with her new gift she was given by Discord
"Well, I might as well see what is inside before deciding what to do with it."
In the end, Fluttershy just decided to just look what she was actually given, both out of curiosity, and because it will help her determine what to actually do with the treasure chest
"Oh?"
Fluttershy sat before the treasure and quickly opens it, once unlocked, she was finally able to see what was inside the chest
"OH MY GOODNESS, ARE THESE DISCORD BABY PICTURES?!~"
And what Fluttershy found inside the treasure chest, was a whole bunch of Discord himself, specifically of him in the past
"AWWW!~ He's So Cute!~"
Fluttershy found pictures of Discord being a newborn baby
"Oooh, this must be when he was first learning his magic!~"
Fluttershy also found pictures when Discord had first discovered he had magic
"I didn't know he had white hair before!~"
Fluttershy even found pictures of Discord with some white hair, which just emphasize how different he was in the past, which just made her realized what she was actually looking at inside the treasure chest
"So Discord was right, this box is filled with everything from his past life, the day he was born, his childhood-"
And what stood out the most, when Fluttershy was looking through the many old pictures of her friend, she found another picture of Discord
"And even his past friends?"
Specifically, Fluttershy had found a picture with Discord being with another person, who was dressed like a chef?
"That's odd, I thought I was his first ever friend?"
Fluttershy was getting confused, as she was led to assume that Discord had no friends in his past
"Or actually, maybe they're siblings?"
Though when Fluttershy took a closer look, and seeing how close Discord was being with this Chef? She was lead to believe otherwise.
"Friends or family members, why hasn't he told me about them?"
But as Fluttershy could be more confused on what was going on, she looked back inside the treasure chest, and noticed a dinosaur bone inside, which made her realized something
"Of course, he's basically as old as the world itself, so he must've forgotten about them as time went on."
After this realization, Fluttershy couldn't help but let out some tears as she started to feel sad and guilty for Discord
"No wonder he feels lonely, he must miss these people very much without even knowing it."
Fluttershy couldn't help but feel even more sad, as she saw more and more pictures and specifical that represented both Discord and his past relationship
"I mean, look how close he is with this, um, Chef spider monkey, lady?..."
Fluttershy couldn't help but noticed how happy Discord was with this Chef
"Almost all of these pictures are with him and her, she must've meant a lot to him."
And Fluttershy noticing this just made her close to crying, as couldn't imagine forgetting some she would consider so close to herself
"Of course, she isn't the only one, there's a deer with a black cape, a fox with multiple eyes, someone with red horns, a person with red yellow swirly eyes, and even a cute looking orange dog with a metal horn~"
Fluttershy even more pictures of Discord, though not just with the Chef, she saw him with many others, equally as cheerful around them, she also noticed how all of them looked so unusual and were all mixed with body parts that did not match and even made them looking weird, but this only strengthens the idea they're siblings, even if they didn't completely look like Discord, they share the same style of looks
"I wish there was a way they could meet again, I bet Discord would be so happy to finally reunite with someone from his past..."
Though just as Fluttershy was imagining how happy Discord would be if he met these people again, in the end of the treasure chest, she saw a book
"How To Summon A D-Huh?"
The title was a bit scratched off, not to mention that the book was just old itself, but that didn't stop Fluttershy from picking up the book and opening it up, to see what was inside
"I Need To Talk To Twilight!"
And what Fluttershy saw, immediately made her realize what she needed to do, holding the book with her mouth and quickly ran off to meet with another friend, known as Twilight, though unknown to her, her tail whack the treasure chest as she ran off, which made a certain bottle of darkness fall over and spill over the floor, though once released, it immediately disappeared from sight, it was unclear if it would ever be seen again

As you can probably guess, in this specific crossover between MLP and Chainsaw Man, maybe some Jujutsu Kaisen, I have decided to make Discord a Devil, specifically the 2nd oldest Primal Fear in Hell, right behind Death Devil, but above the Darkness Devil, as the Falling Devil, Makima and Jogo would be his younger siblings, there is a lot of things that has implications, and I can't wait to explore them all, hehe, I'm open to suggestions and ideas for this story~
(BTW, takes place after the Tirek thing, and Discord betrayal and forgiveness, however I'll be rearranging some MLP episodes, ALSO ALSO, the Equestria Girls Human World thing, that's where Makima is)
