Renewing Chaos
The battle for chaos
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs soon as I woke up I could feel a massive power slowly coming towards Ponyville. Probably in secret or casually, to not put up suspicion. It was obviously Discord, no other creature has that much magic. Not even me, when I have my magic boost. That is one thing I forgot to explain. The magic boost. When I got to Equestria, it was on all throughout my time here until this day, when it stopped. It was a result of the new environment with the magic in the air. Now my power, at it's original level, is around a fifth of Celestia's power. Still a lot stronger than most ponies, but not good against Discord. When using the boost, for about 10 minutes, my power increases 10 fold, becoming twice as much as Celestia. Discord has about 10 times as much as Celestia, so I need to use my diversity in magic to beat him. Let's recap on our powers.
Discord:
He has a very high magic capacity, far exceeding the required magic power for a day of endless teleportation. He uses this a lot, and has mastered teleportation to the fullest extent, to the point of inter-dimensional travel.
He is very cunning, planning even though it goes against his nature to get his way. This is lost due to the fact that everything is a game to him, he wants an ability for the enemies to succeed, but to be almost to narrow to happen. Due to this, he has lost several times to the princesses. Whose combined ability made the elements of harmony, the draconequus' only weakness. David Thunderhead is the only pony to have matched the elements in power.
He specializes in chaos magic, letting him easily bend nature to his will and breaking every fundamental law of it. He acts as if he just doesn't care about the rules of magic and just ignores them, doing what he wants and needs to win or entertain himself. He can easily conjure up a multitude of things, and can very easily use his magic to attack relentlessly, but his nature will not allow him to do so, since he wants to have fun, albeit in his weird way.
David Thunderhead:
He has a magical capacity of one tenth the power of the elements of harmony, exactly one fifth the power of Celestia or Luna. That is, until he uses his magic boost. This boost increases his power and and ability by 10, allowing him to equal the elements of harmony in strength.
He specializes in chaos magic, one of the few beings who can wield it and be in control 100% of the time. He has a good grip on the elements of nature, earth, wind, fire, and water. He can use magic simultaneously in two hands at a time, allowing him to mix the powers of the elements. He can hold two elements at a time in one hand when he is on the magic boost, allowing him to use all of them in a full out attack.
He can use his magic in other ways, to. Compressing it into a large beam capable of breaking through many things, including other beings. He can manipulate the beam into changing directions on a dime, but he can't control it for long, and it takes a small amount of time to release control of the beam. This can easily backfire by having the beam lose control while going strait at him, and through him, getting close to killing him. If he didn't have this...
He can use healing magic very skillfully, one of the first magic types he every studied. He can heal near fatal wounds with the cost of lots of his power for two minutes, needing to recharge. This leaves him open, so it is almost not recommended unless it is needed.
He can also use his magic in alchemy, being able to convert magic energy into matter with his chaos magic, he can create objects at the cost of his regenerative magic. He uses this in an almost skillful way, not perfecting it. He prefers to use this to make crystal, since he can't make that with his elemental magic, and it's very strong and durable.
He can barely cast teleportation, but is perfect with levitation, allowing him versatility.
In a mach, he has a small chance against Discord, since he prefers lots of versatility than master a few, while Discord has mastered many, such as the alchemy David uses with ease, and teleportation, along with the nature breaking form ability of his magic.
"Well then," I said to myself "I guess there's no time like the present. Besides the good future, or the good ol' days. Not doing much to motivate myself. Time to fly over Ponyville and wa-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
"Never mind. Time to go!" I flew right out my house to get into the action!
...only to smack into my shield.
"Woops..." I said to myself, and teleported out.
There was a an obvious power in the treehouse, I could sense it from up high. I was in a crowd with pegasi, in my human form on the clouds. Some of em didn't really mind, some sat closer to me, some sat away. I was to focused on the treehouse to notice. Eventually I silently put on a perception filter and teleported silently into the house, and heard the conversation. I could see why the ponies were crowded, they could feel the malicious intent in the air.
"Twilight Sparkle, how could you think I was ever reformed? I'm Discord! The spirit of chaos! You can't reform chaos!" Discord said, creating a glass of chocolate milk to drink during the conversation.
"Discord... I can't believe I trusted you. Well, the only way to stop you now is to get the elements of harmony, and you probably know that..." She continued to rant on, and he leaned to me.
"Quite the talker, isn't she?" He whispered in my ear. I was really surprised he could hear me, but I didn't care, so I just went with it. He is chaos after all.
"I know right, good to have front seat tickets like this to watch. Interesting for you, isn't it? You gonna use the chocolate milk as a spit take?"
"Good idea... aren't you interested in how I can see you?"
"Kinda, but you are chaos, you notice everything and don't care on most of them. I was expecting it, but it matter to me."
"Interesting, now, back to the show." He leaned away, and I leaned back onto the wall, going unnoticed by Twilight.
"I know what to do! I'll just get Princess Celestia..." She started her plan, but Discord soon took a spit take and laughed.
"Celestia? You think she will stop me? She can't, even if she tried!" He leaned to me and whispered, "thanks for the idea."
I came to Twilight's rescue and teleported in between them. "Your welcome Discord, always happy to help a fellow chaos magic user."
He stopped laughing and stared, "You were the one who left the chaotic magic residue? Well that's is amazing! A human who can do chaos magic, wonderful!"
"That is why I came here. Are you familiar with a chaos duel?" I asked him.
"Yes, every chaos user is familiar with a chaos duel. Turn based system of attacks trying to knock the opponent down to get a point, first to three wins. Why? Are you challenging me, Discord, to a chaos duel?!" He asked, baffled.
"Why yes I am, it's all I can do to stop you from doing this. Plus it seems fun to the both of us, don't you think?" This would get him, he couldn't pass up an opportunity for entertainment.
"Okay then, I accept your challenge, but why not a crowd? I'll bring the Princesses and you bring the bearers. It will be amazing! I could have some real fun against someone besides The Mask!" He said, exited.
"Ooooh, you know The Mask? He is awesome isn't he? Wait wait, stay on track, let's go!" I teleported me, Discord, and Twilight to the middle of the appleoosan desert. "You get the Princesses, I'll go get the bearers, this will be fun Discord!"
I quickly teleported around to get the other ponies, one by one. They all became in the crowd with the princesses, watching the duel to come.
"What do you think you're doing, Thunderhead!?" asked all eight ponies in the crowd. I ignored them.
"So, who's going first?" I asked.
"Well, you challenged me... so you go first. Take your first shot! I can't wait!"
I took a very short amount of time to select my attack. I silently made a thick magic resistant crystal dome from behind him, the sent one out extremely fast. He moved to the left to dodge it, so I made a giant hammer come out from the stabbing crystal to hit him forward. He didn't look like he was going to be knocked down, so I made a crystal bat in my hands and another crystal bat where he was not predicted to go. Chaos, go un-predicted. It wasn't in vain, as he teleported to the exact spot the other bat was, and was smacked in the face and hit the ground.
He was obviously dumbfounded by the display. "How did you predict my actions!?!?"
"First of all, one point for me, second of all, I predicted the least possible one, and set my trap there. That is how chaos works, and you would be weakened if you moved into normally predictable grounds." I stated calmly.
"Well it won't work this time!" He said angrily/excitedly.
He made several pies around him, and sent them all at me. I scanned them fast, and saw the metal spikes coming at me from a different direction, and teleported away, allowing them to collide. I made a firewall as he sent the debris at me, and they burned in the protection. Some of it burned, but some acid got through, so I made an acid proof trampoline aimed at Discord, and it hit him square in the face. He wasn't hurt though, but it ended his attack.
"I guess it worked this time, didn't it?" I cackled, he started laughing to.
"This is the best chaos duel I have ever been in!" He stated loudly, a smile on his face.
"I believe it's my turn now!" I exclaimed, still smiling.
I used some earth elemental power to use the sand to my advantage, much like Gaara. Trying to trap him, he just teleported away, moving more sand over at him in a giant wave, he just shot a beam through. I was getting tired of this, so I searched the ground for the first magic resistant metal I could find. Copper. I covered his legs completely in it, before starting my onslaught.
I sent a fire column in the air, and surrounded him in it, then a freezing ice spear in the middle of it to make him hit the fire. He somehow dodged it and made the entire thing melt and steam over, so I had to use more. I tried to make a small rainstorm around him, but he just made it into cotton candy and ate it. Damn you Discord and your cotton candy clouds.
I finally was fed up with that, and got to business. I trapped him even further up to his chest and under his arms. I sent a small fire beam to the copper, trying to heat it up. It weakened him a small bit, so it would be easier to do what I was about to do. I released the copper from the ground, making him a small statue. "Familiar..." He said, annoyed, but amused.
I did the final resort of the elements. I took a medium amount of time to create a Tornado with a large amount of clouds above to use water and wind, creating large amounts of lightning which I proceeded to strike Discord with. The more weakness when the copper melts off the better. I shot a very hot beam of fire into the tornado, making it a giant fire swirl, which absorbed the lightning well, making it a very dangerous looking storm.
I used a wind vacuum to move Discord into the tornado, melting the copper off and striking him with everything I had. He was sent flying out of the tornado face first before falling right to the ground. "Another point. Here." I healed him completely with my green beam.
"Losing two to nothing... I can't lose this chaos duel! I cannot lose!!!!" He got really mad, hitting me with everything he had. thousands of lightning bolts, fire streams, ice spears, and he kept using the sand to keep me constricted. I guess it's payback. Eventually, he came in front of me and stopped the binding, which I couldn't move in shock, and he hit me with a glass bat, which broke on impact. I rolled over and hit my face, quickly giving Discord the point. I was healed by him, and I regained my strength for the final hit.
"Time to end this, Discord." I said, confident. He was silent, not wanting to lose. I started charging up a healing beam in the form of a white and black sparked Kamehameha wave.
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
He was silent, looking on with great observation. I put all my power into this.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
He lifted an eyebrow, as the ball got about as big as a basketball.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"What is that..." he started to ask, I poured more into the ball of energy, getting as powerful as it would be at the size of Twilight's treehouse. I used my magic boost and I was emanating golden chaotic energy, kinda like a super saiyan. I was at my max of power, pouring a ton of it into the wave. He was getting scared, he couldn't see the fact that it was a healing wave.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
I had to put my hand out in front of me and clench them to keep the power from blowing up my hands. It got bigger and bigger, and Discord put up a shield. I put some anti shield magic into this, and got ready.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I released the energy, and the giant beam smashed through the shield, heading strait at Discord. He teleported away quickly, and the beam went at him. He did this many times before he got in front of me, and I lost control of the beam. It was headed at me and him. I stopped him from moving with a powerful sand vein and he leaned back...
...right into my absorbing hands. I took away the power he had. It went fast. Faster than I could imagine. I started to absorb him completely, ending at his head. He said one final thing before becoming a dormant consciousness in my head. "I am glad you reached your destiny..." And he was gone. The beam hit me, healing my cuts and bruises, becoming perfectly healed. I used the rest of my magic to free the crowd, and the magic boost ended.
"Worth it to save Equestria..." I barely said.
Then I fainted.
