The Peacemaker

Third person:

Both of the fighters fought in mid-flight, throwing punches and kicks that were faster than the eye could see.

Discord struck Chrysalis with lightning fast jabs but she managed to block most of them then threw a kick into Discord’s side. The draconequus grunted in pain then threw a heavy punch into her face and knocked her head back. Discord flew back and Chrysalis’ horn flared up and shot an energy blast at Discord who brought his arms up in a cross as he shielded his face from the blast.

The smoke was just clearing as Discord was bringing his arms back into a combat stance and Chrysalis charged through the smoke and landed a brutal punch into his gut. Discord gasped in pain but swung his body and kicked his leg out, the chine bone struck Chrysalis’ head and knocked it to the side.

She gritted her teeth in pain and Discord smiled, but he did so too soon. Chrysalis’ horn once again flared up and she blasted Discord again with yet another energy blast. Discord’s body was knocked out of the air and his chest smoked from the blast as his body plummeted to the ground but before he crashed into the ground he caught himself and began to float in the air again. He looked up to Chrysalis and huffed.

“This may be a bit more difficult than I thought” Discord muttered. Chrysalis looked to him and smiled as she dive bombed towards Discord. Discord gritted his teeth and launched himself towards her at full speed but just before their bodies collided it was as if Discord vanished and appeared behind her but if you could slow down time to 1/100 of a second you would actually see that Discord moved faster than the naked eye could see and dodged her charge and ended up behind her.

He spun his body and brought the palm of his paw forwards as an energy sphere formed. He snarled and the sphere launched at Chrysalis and struck her in the back and the force slammed her body into the ground with a large crash and the force of the impact created a small crater.

At an incredible rate of speed Discord cocked his arms back and in a flash of motion began to shoot his arms forward, launching energy shots at Chrysalis’ body and as each energy blast launched his arm cocked back as if it was affected by recoil. Chrysalis’ body was struck by the destructive energy blasts and soon she was surrounded by heavy explosions.

Discord stopped blasting her but suddenly Chrysalis appeared behind Discord and blasted him with one of her own blasts of energy. Discord fell forward and Chrysalis’ horn flared as many more shots of energy followed Discord and erupted as they struck his body.

Discord regained a battle stance and covered his body in a protective shield so Chrysalis stopped wasting her energy and stopped blasting energy at him. “How did you do that?” Discord scowled and Chrysalis simply laughed as she rubbed a hoof against her chest triumphantly. “Like that one huh? Twilight showed me that while she still thought I was Celestia” Chrysalis announced and Discord growled and flew towards her at incredible speeds that could match that of even Rainbow Dash and began to slam powerful jabs into Chrysalis but she simply laughed as she blocked his punches with her hooves then threw a heavy knee into Discord’s stomach.

Discord bent over from the pain and gagged. Chrysalis hammered the back of his neck with a powerful elbow and Discord flew down and crashed into the ground. Chrysalis flew downwards and brought her hooves forwards like a diver and it was like her body became a deadly drill that was going to drill right through Discord.

She slammed into the ground with heavy force that made dirt fly into the air along with dust from the crash force. She stood up and looked in pure shock as she realized she hadn’t hit Discord but simply slammed the ground. Suddenly a powerful blast of white energy struck her from the front and the explosion of the energy sent her body tumbling backwards.

“Gah… how did you miss my attack” Chrysalis screeched and Discord shrugged and brought his arms forward in an aggressive battle stance. “Picked up a few new moves while I was in statue confinement” Discord laughed. “Ha no matter, I will still strike you down” Chrysalis laughed and propelled herself at Discord as she launched a barrage of energy blasts at Discord.

Discord brought his paw and talon fist forward and attempted to block and deflect the blasts but they simply erupted and blew through his body. Chrysalis head-butted Discord in the stomach and her jagged horn cut through his body. Discord screamed out in pain as she shook her head and his body was taken along with the movements. Her horn flared as she launched another energy blast but as it left her body the blast took Discord with it and erupted, the blast sent Discord skidding along the ground.

Discord got to his feet and readied himself. ‘This is never going to work. I need a new strategy’ Discord thought to himself. “Yes you do, this one is quite boring and I want a challenge not a warm up” Chrysalis replied. He gasped as he realized she had just read his thoughts she gave him a funny look. “What’s wrong Discord? Don’t like it when others have the abilities to see what you’re planning?” Chrysalis muttered. At this point he realized that she had only been able to predict his attacks because she had read his thoughts and knew his every move. ‘Time to just wing it’ Discord thought and charged forwards.

Chrysalis was about to counter his charge when he moved faster than the speed an eye can see and it was like he teleported behind her. She felt his presence and turned but as she did she was met by the sight of a white sphere of energy which struck her face and sent her flying back but it was followed by several other blasts of energy that slammed into her body and erupted violently.

Discord stopped blasting energy shots and flew forwards. Chrysalis staggered back and looked up but as she did she was greeted by a barrage of lightning fast jabs and Discord was relentless as he pummeled her. He quickly changed his tactics and flew up and threw a round house kick to the side of her head.

Her head was knocked to the side but as it was she saw he opening and took it. Using the momentum force of the kick she let her body be pulled by the force but swung her hindleg out and landed a thunderous kick into Discord’s side. The spirit of chaos screamed in agony as three of his ribs were broken from the kick.

He staggered back in pain but Chrysalis didn’t let him have a second of rest and flew forward with tremendous speed and landed a single heavy punch to his stomach with her hoof and Discord gasped in pain and doubled over. He gagged in pain and as he did, blood came up through his mouth and spat out.

“Well this is no fun” Chrysalis complained and literally back-hoofed Discord across the face and sent his body flying into multiple trees, each time he collided with a tree the power of his body weight combined with the tremendous speed from her backhand force sent him crashing through the trees.

Finally his body came to a stop and he slumped up against a tree and continued to cough in pain. Blood leaked out of his mouth and also oozed out from the wound in his side from where Chrysalis had impaled him with her horn. He managed to stagger to his feet and grunted in pain as he began to stumble forward. “You can barely walk, let alone fight” Chrysalis laughed and Discord turned around just as she bucked him and the force sent his body flying back into the field but as he hit the ground his body dug in and made a large, crater-like trench that followed his body.

His body lay at the end of the trench in a smoking heap and he tried to stand to his feet but couldn’t.

A flash of light appeared and then stopped and Chrysalis formed from seemingly thin air, though the teleportation spell was nothing new. Chrysalis picked up Discord in her magical green aurora and stood to her hindlegs as she began to slam debilitating punches into Discord’s stomach area. Each time she punched him he screamed out in pain and blood spat out of his mouth.

A flash of purple light seared through the air and the element of harmony bearers along with Celestia appeared. Chrysalis looked over to them, “Oh how wonderful, not only do I get to kill these cockroaches but I get to step on the hole nest” Chrysalis laughed.

“Let him go” Fluttershy said in a stern tone that was rather out of character for her. Chrysalis grabbed Discord by one of his arms and held him up as she released him from her magical grasp. “Well if you want him, you can have him. I’ve taken all the fun out of him” Chrysalis laughed and tossed Discord’s body to their hooves.

“Now which one of you wants to die first” she laughed in a hysterical tone. Twilight knelt down, knowing that Discord was probably their best hope and lent him some of her energy. Though his wounds didn’t heal, his energy returned and he snarled as he stood up quickly. “Ugh… what have you done” Chrysalis screamed as she realized that Discord’s power had returned.

“Discord may have been our enemy once, but how’s the old saying go again? The enemy of my enemy is my friend?” Twilight told the angered queen who simply sneered. “Fine… I’ll just have to beat him to a pulp once again” the queen laughed insanely. Discord let out a terrifying roar and the air around him gusted powerfully like he was the center of a twister and a magical white aurora surrounded him as the ground beneath his body shook and every muscle in his body tensed.

“Chrysalis, meet the spirit of CHAOS!” Discord roared. Chrysalis brought her hoof forward and a tiny beam of green energy shot out and struck Discord in the chest and burned a hole straight through him. His energy aurora disappeared nearly instantly and he fell backwards to the ground with a THUMP.

“Well that was pointless” Chrysalis laughed and looked to the element bearers. “Well… I think I’ll kill the purple one first” she laughed but before she had the chance to lift her hoof again a man flew down in front of them. At first he stayed in a crouched stance but then he rose to his full height and turned to Chrysalis with an angered look on his face.

“Oh great… it’s that ape man again, haven’t you learned monkey? You can’t kill me” Chrysalis screamed as she brought he hoof up and shot a beam of energy at Dmitry. The others scattered as they knew that the beam could cut through skin and flesh like a hot knife with butter but Dmitry simply raised his palm in front of his body.

As the beam flew at him he swatted it away like a bug and the beam flew harmlessly into the sky. Chrysalis watched her beam of death fly away and cursed as she launched a barrage of beams at Dmitry who simply moved his hands in a blur of motion and deflected each beam harmlessly into the air.

Chrysalis took a step back muttered to herself “There’s… there’s no way that’s possible”
