unfinished story for hasbro

"Well well well, look who finally decided to show up!" Says Discord with his usual sardonic tone.

"Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long" I reply.

"Actually you're right on time, want to see my new toys?" Discord then snaps his fingers as the elements of harmony flash into existence. Each one quickly floats onto his arms with the exception of the element of magic which he promptly places on his head.

"I certainly wear them better than your little pony friends did"

Suddenly I feel a tug on my leg, it's Twilight.

"Anon... you have to run... he's too powerful..." she's falls unconscious before even finishing her sentence.

"Sorry, Twi" I gently step over her "I've been waiting for this fight for a long time"

"Oh?" Discord gives me a quizzical look. "Do you really think you can defeat me? Now, with the power of the elements at my fingertips?"

"Heh" I smirk, "Power is wasted in the hands of those without skill"

 

I make the first move, my katana flashes out of its sheathe as I launch myself at Discord. I aim my cut at Discord's neck, normally an attack of that speed would be impossible to see, let alone block against, but as our eyes meet I can already tell that my effort has been wasted. Discord effortlessly ducks underneath my blade before counterattacking with a stab from his talon. I struggle to move my sword into position to block, yet I manage to catch his talon in the hilt of my blade. A powerful move, but I can tell he's just toying with me. A swipe from his lion arm forces me to retreat. I kick off his chest in an attempt to gain some distance, and the force from the kick wrenches my sword free from his grasp. I land on my feet, but Discord is in front of me in the next moment. He knocks me off my feet with a whip from his tail, and before I even hit the ground, he follows up with a kick to my chest that sends me flying into a tree.

 

My breath is gone, my whole body aches, it feels like minutes pass before I'm able to regain my senses. When I finally do, Discord is standing above me, holding my weapon. With a quick snap, he breaks my sword in two.

"I'm disappointed anon, all that training and you could just barely keep up with me. I didn't even have to use the elements!" Discord shakes his head with a sarcastic smile spread across his face. That smile quickly grew into a fit of laughter that made my wounds hurt even more.

"Well now, this really has been fun anon but I must be going. I have a whole world to plunge into chaos you know" Discord was still chuckling as he began walking away.

 

To be completely honest, I was expecting this to happen. I had hoped that I would be strong enough to beat him on my own, but I knew that was being overly optimistic. But there is a strange comfort that came from having my hopes crushed. Now I know, I know that I can't avoid using THAT...

 

Just before Discord is able to pass by the unconscious bodies of the M6, I stand up. "DISCORD!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

"Oh, what is it now anon!?" Discord says as he turns around and stares at me in annoyance.

"I'm not done with you yet..." I say as I point towards him.

"What else could you possible do? You have no weapons, your friends are defeated and with my power I could erase you in an instant. Just go on your way and be grateful that I'm in an especially good mood"

"No weapons? Who said I had no weapons?" I throw my cloak off my body. And what lies underneath left Discord stunned. Six odachis, three on each side of my body, arranged in a pattern that resembles the wings of a butterfly. But maybe it would be more appropriate to call them the wings of a demon...

"H-Hah! you think I'm scared of a few more swords!? You're probably too weak to even lift one of those with your weak arms!" Discord was trying to maintain his composure, but I could tell my performance caught him off guard. Which is exactly what I wanted.

"Don't get too excited yet... I'm just getting started!!!" Finally it was time. Discord was right, I am too weak to properly weild a weapon now, but there was a way to become strong, stronger than ever before...

 

"I'm sorry, my little ponies, I promised I would never use this... but it's the only way. I won't ask for forgiveness, I only ask for results" I raise my right hand and bring it down to my left eye. With what little strength I have left, I scrap my fingernails through my weak flesh. The pain is unbearable, I scream as my fingers cut through the last piece of skin. But now it's starting, black tears fall from the left side of my face and and leak through the cracks in my fingers. As the droplets fall to the ground they group together in the shape of a circle. Everything caught in the area disappears into the darkness as the circle transforms into a bottomless void. "NOW DISCORD, LET ME SHOW YOU TRUE CHAOS!!!" I yell before plunging my body into the abyss. I give my self to it, the power of Tartarus. No, the power beyond Tartarus. The power of all who have been locked away in eternal damnation. A power no human, or pony, should ever have. Their hatred, sadness, anguish, all mine for the taking. There is no pain, only acceptance. As I absorb the last of the dark energy I can feel my body ascending from the pit. At first all my body can feel is the strength coursing through me. But eventually I can open my eyes, both of which have been altered. My left eye, and in fact the entire left side of my face, has been stained the blackest of blacks. While my right eye is a deep, piercing, blood red color. The first thing I see is Discord, who is looking more serious than I've ever seen him before. But that's to be expected, we need no words to say that this is now a proper fight.

 

This time Discord makes the first move, he tries to catch me off guard by attacking at random directions using his portals. I'm one step ahead of him though, and after a couple of dodges I see a chance to grab his arm and drag him through his own portal. Then I slam him into the ground, quickly pull out the odachi closest to my right hand (the odachi of honesty) and attempt to stab him with it. Discord places his hands on the ground behind his head and flips backward to evade my attack, and my sword sticks into the ground. However, the force of me removing my sword creates a crack in the ground that slithers toward Discord and knocks him off balance. This gives me a chance to take out the odachi closest to my left hand (the odachi of loyalty) and slash at Discord with both swords in a scissor-like motion. Discord is just barely able to teleport away before he would have been cut in half. That teleportation is fast... but I'm faster! While Discord is trying to gather his thoughts I take out the rest of my weapons. The odachi of kindness, the odachi of generosity, the odachi of laughter, and finally the odachi of magic. Then I bombard Discord with attacks from all sides.
