Chapter 7. Rise and fall

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, and Shining Armor."

Discord cackled maniacally in his head, as everything had been coming to fruition.

Once he had claimed Shining Armor as his husband, he will be completely Discorded, then he could unleash his unbound chaos upon Canterlot, then all of Equestria.

"Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, do you take Shining Armor to be your lawfully wedded husband for all time?" Celestia asked "Cadance" for "her" vow.

"I do." "Cadance" accepted.

"And do you, Shining Armor, take Princess Cadance to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and health?" Celestia asked Shining Armor for his vow.

"I....... Do..." Shining Armor hesitated a bit, as he had turned more grey then before.

"Then, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you-!"

"STOP!!!"

Discord's heart sank as he saw that Twilight Sparkle had escaped and made it to the wedding, did this wretched girl ever know when to quit?!

"Ugh! Why can't she keep her nose away from where it doesn't belong?!"

Discord's eyes widened in realization as everypony looked at him funny, did he say that out loud?

No matter, it was just her. He could still save his plans from being completely foiled.

"I mean, 'why does she have to ruin my special day?'"

He figured that by playing innocent again, the guards would remove her from the wedding so it could continue.

"Because, it's not YOUR special day, IT'S MINE!!!"

No..... NO!!! She can't be here! He had prepared for everything! How could she have possibly escaped?!?!

"Wha- HUH?! But how did you escape the bridesmaids?!"

One flashback later.......

Discord never took into account that changing the bridesmaids personalities didn't erase their desire to be the next to be married.....

"Heh. Clever, but you still can't stop me!"

If he couldn't marry Shining Armor, he could still Discord him until his spell was useless.

"I don't understand! How can there be two of her?"

"He's Discord! He imprisoned me in the caverns of Canterlot so he could steal my face and drain my groom's energy away!"

"DISCORD?!"

Well, there goes his cover.... Guess there was no point in keeping up the act anymore....

"Well I guess the cats out of the bag. Or in this case, the Draconequus is out of the pony."

Discord had longing to be in his true form ever since he turned into that pretty pony princess, so it was nice to finally stretch his legs and stand up straight again.

As he removed his disguise, he cackled evilly as the ponies cowered before him.

He figured he would just have to stall for time...

"You madam, are correct! For your fiance shares blood with one of the six bearers of the elements of harmony, making him able to cancel my power. I stole your form so I could get close enough to RIP THE HARMONY RIGHT OUT OF HIM, allowing Canterlot to be consumed by countless chaos! Hah ha!"

"I won't let you! I'll save Shining Armor!"

"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Not unless you want to go back to the caverns, WITH NO FOOD OR WATER."

As Cadance stepped back in fear, Discord knew he was bluffing.

He was just too reckless to put her down there without food or water before, if he had stopped to think things through he would have given her something to digest.

He may be chaos incarnate, but he wasn't heartless.

"Ever since I pulled the switcheroo, I've been Discording the captain to be a weak, pathetic klutz, somepony who is INCAPABLE of protecting a capital!"

"NO!"

"And, once Canterlot has gone crazy, all of Equestria will turn on it's head! Hah ha ha!"

"NO. You won't."

Discord seethed under his breath, as he finally didn't have to treat that pompous princess as his auntie anymore.

"Get the elements! I'll hold him off as long as I can!"

He knew that was going to put a wrench into everything, he needed that barrier to break right away.

"You really think you can beat me on your own Celly? Without your precious Lu-Lu to protect you?"

"I don't need help to take you down now! You might have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects, from YOU!"

As Celestia fired a beam from her horn, Discord fired back from his fingertips.

However, because the chaos cancelling spell was still in effect, Celestia actually had a chance at winning.

Discord could feel the grip of the sun getting closer to his body, as he desperately tried to push it away, as Celestia stared without remorse.

However, Shining Armor became so scared that he had turned completely grey, causing the shield to collapse.

Discord could feel the weight of the sun being lifted from his shoulders, as his magic begun to reach Celestia.

As she watched with shock and horror, the chaos magic struck her in a blast of confetti, which was deadly enough to knock her into the floor weakened.

Everypony gasped as they witnessed their beloved leader fall to the lord of chaos.

Discord could feel his unrivaled powers return to him.

Then, with wicked glee, unleashed it upon Canterlot.

As several ponies tried to flee the scene, Discord had caught Cadance trying to snap Shining Armor out of his spell.

"And what do you think you're doing?" Discord taunted, as he lifted Cadance off the ground and placed her hooves into sticky cotton candy.

He then placed Celestia in a prison made of cotton candy while she was unconscious.

"Now, to deal with those pesky elements......" Discord murmured, as he set up a block designed to keep out the ponies from reaching them.......
