---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

>”It is so easy to just relax Anon. Just relax…”

>He releases another wave into his mind tap.

>Blistering agony weaves itself into your form.

>Please girls…

>You close your eyes, putting all your effort into keeping out Discord.

>hurry…

 

>A surge of energy hits you, one you’ve felt before.

>You open your eyes, Discord still focused on you.

>The mane 6 levitating as they embrace the elements.

>You’re almost there Anon.

>The home stretch.

 

>You open your mouth to speak, a few guttural sounds escaping.

>The lack of air hinders your ability to speak.

>”Famous last words? So be it.”

>He eases his grip, fresh air filling your enflamed lungs.

>You gasp taking in what may be your last breath.

“Our jimmies… are eternal…”

>Twilight opens her eyes, a white light sparkling from them.

>You feel your body weaken, moments from retuning to the black void.

“None can rustle the triumvirate…”

>Darkness takes you, a rainbow engulfing you in your final moments.

 

>It’s done.

>Discord is finally gone.

>His voice no longer a plague upon your mind.

>The void awaits you at last, the final step in your journey.

>You can rejoin your parents, following them to where their souls reside.

>This may not be the peace you sought.

>But peace nonetheless.

 

>A beep rings through the blackness.

>What? *beep*

>Pain streams through your body forcing you on your knees.

>You bring your hands to your throbbing chest.

>Your ribs wincing with each breath.

>Blood seeps back through your shirt, a gash reappearing on your chest.

>A torrent of light fills the void.

>Nothing is over…

 

>Your heart feels like its going to burst out of your chest. The beeping now erratic.

>”Hold him down!”

>Hooves press down against your body.

>You jolt up, opening your eyes.

>”I said hold him down!”

>Masked figures surround you as they try and restrain you.

>Your adrenaline fades, allowing another bolt of pain to course through you.

>You let out a muffled grunt before being forced back down to the bed.

>A sharp ting is felt in your arm.

>Cool fluid calming your aching muscles.

>”Is he going to be ok doc?” you hear somep0ny ask.

>Your eyes drifting back to sleep.

>”He was shocked is all; he’ll be up in no time.”

>You fall to sleep, the beeps as your lullaby.

 

>A tingle forms at your finger tips, cascading up your body.

>Roused from your sleep, you reopen your eyes.

>You’ve been here before. These white walls all too familiar.

>The last time you were here… You don’t want to remember.

“Hello?” you manage to crack out.

>A nurse enters your room and smiles at you.

>”Well look who’s awake, it’s nice to see you calm again.”

 

“W-what happened?”

>”Well, it appears you suffered some contusions along with several broken-“

“Discord, what happened to Discord?”

>”I don’t know exactly, but word down the olive branch is that he’s as good as stone.”

>You let out a sigh of release and relax.

>She walks over and sets down a tray of food next to you.

>“You have some visitors you know…”

>Your friends.

>”Would you like to see them?”

>You give her a nod.

“Yes, I would like that very much.”

 

>The nurse walks over to the other curtain.

>”And how are you this morning princess?”

>Princess?

>”WE- uh, I am fine. Thank you.”

>”Alright then, I’ll be sure to tell your guests that you’re ready.”

>She leaves the room and trots down the hall. Silence.

 

>You sit up, fighting the pain in your chest.

“Princess?” you call, pulling back the curtain.

>Luna is in the bed beside you, a few bandages around her.

>She seems to have taken quite a beating.

>”What do you want?”

>She doesn’t look at you and you don’t blame her.

“I was uh, wondering if you were ok is all?”

>”How do you think we are doing?”

>The bitchiness has doubled!

 

>You close the curtain. She just wants to be alone.

“I’m sorry.”

>”You should be.”

>Here we go…

>”It is because of you that we are this way.”

“I know…”

>”No, you don’t. You forced this upon us.”

>Bitch doesn’t know what she speaks of.

“He tried to turn me as well Luna. Don’t think you’re the only one who’s suffered because of Discord.”

 

>”You did not turn, I did.”

>Naïve isn’t she.

“He turned me against my friends, when all they did was help me.”

>You calm down a bit, you won’t let emotion control you again.

“I might as well have turned…”

 

>You give her time to think about what you said. She never thought of it that way before.

>”I- seem to have misjudged you.”

“Don’t worry about it. Your anger is understandable.”

>”Perhaps, you could speak of it to me?”

>Now that’s something you didn’t think of. Communicating with someone who’s been on that same beaten path as you, it sounds nice.

>You open the curtain and look at her.

“Sure…”

 

>The door opens slightly and you can hear the nurse.

>”Here we are.”

>Cue Rainbow Dash.

>The door slams open, Dash flying in at you.

>Anon: The Fortune Teller.

>She lands on your bed settling down.

>Ribs, oh the ribs.

“Rainbow, the ribs…”

>”Oh sorry Anon.”

>She jumps off and lands beside you while the others make their way inside.

 

“So… I heard you gave Discord what he deserved.”

>”We sure did,” Pinkie exclaims, “That meanie got it good.”

>”Nothing we couldn’t handle,” Rainbow boasts.

>”We couldn’t have done it without you Anon.” Twilight says.

“All in a days work I guess.” *cough*

>Fuck your lungs still hurt, but at least your friends are here with you.

>You look back to Luna who appears a bit sad. She doesn’t have any visitors.

>You remember how you felt when no one was there for you.

>Twilight takes the hint and talks to her with a few others.

 

“So Dash,” you ask, “any idea how long until I can get out of here?”

>”Doc said you’ll be in here for a month at the most. Why? You ready for another race?”

>You laugh, broken ribs be damned.

“Something like that…”

>What the hell are you going to do for a month? They don’t have television in Equestria.

>”You know, I figured you’d be cooped up here for a while,” Dash says.

>”So I got you a present that helped me.”

>She hands you a gift, poorly wrapped, but the effort is what counts.

>You tear open the gift.

“Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone.”

>”I figured an egghead like you would appreciate it.”

“Didn’t you read this?”

>She blushes, “I might have…”

 

>Twilight comes back, holding another book herself.

>”Here…”

>She sets down a copy of Marelin’s Magistrate on the table.

>”I still expect you to finish it.”

“I’ll get right on that,” you smile at them.

“Thank you all, for staying with me.”

>”What else are friends for sugarcube?”

>It’s good to have friends…”

 

>You spend the next two months in the hospital.

>A few complications made the doctors hold you back.

>This gave you more time to spend with Luna, who has been sharing her experiences with you.

>She’s turned into a kind of sister to you, replacing the one you lost.

>You managed to finish both Marelin’s Magistrate and Daring Do.

>Rainbow visited frequently, always dropping off the next chapter of the series.

>The rest of the mane 6 also visited, though not as much.

>There was a lot of cleaning up to do after the battle with Discord.

>A memorial was built for the castle guards who were turned into Husks.

>The black knights were eventually hunted down and slain.

>Mr. Stay Puft was found in pieces, Pinkie Pie made sure to not let him go to waste.

>Wuten is staying with Fluttershy, though only a few know of its whereabouts.

>That big ball of spaghetti sure made an impression on her.

 

>So here you are, back at home, going over memories past.

>You moved back to Ponyville, the people here now a part of your family.

>You make your way up your stairs and to your bedroom.

>This place is has given you the peace you needed.

>You set an apple down on your nightstand and sit down on the bed.

>Even after all that’s happened you wouldn’t change a thing.

>You brush the hair out of Rainbow’s eyes, smiling down at her sleeping figure.

>Not a thing…

 

---------------------------------- Leads to Anons in Equestria -------------------------------------

 

>You slip-on your leather jacket and head on out, bag full of bits.

>Rainbow Dash is making sure to save you a booth at the Broken Record.

>What better way to celebrate your first year of living in Equestria then getting wasted with your favorite mare.

>To think that you’d tried to run away from this life.

>Even with the whole Discord thing this hasn’t been that bad.

>You do miss how powerful you used to be.

>It seems after Discord was frozen your powers weakened drastically.

>You can use simple telekinesis, but your super strength and other powers just dissipated.

>But it’s alright, you have Rainbow Dash.

>And as long as you have her, you don’t need anything else.

 

>Twilight greets you as you enter the club and leads you to the booth.

>”About time you showed up slow poke.”

“Me? I was waiting for a good hour before deciding to head home.”

>”I’m sure, I’m sure.”

>You scoot on in and give Dash a peck on the cheek.

“Good thing I came back.”

>The waiter brings over a tray of drinks.

>You raise your glass high.

“To good friends.”

>”To good friends.”

 

>You take your time, not wanting to go hard on the booze.

>Regardless, you feel a sharp pain in your head and the lights hurt to look at.

>You can’t be hung-over already, the night’s still young.

>You excuse yourself to use the restroom, the lights cutting into your eyes.

>The door slams shut behind you and you lean against the sink.

>It hurts like hell; every fiber in your being wants to claw away at your skull.

>You shut off the lights, but the intensity stays strong, only getting worse.

>What’s… wrong…

>The light engulfs you, and when you open your eyes, you’re gone.

>You stand up, your jacket damp with moisture.

>”Anonymous!”

>You turn around a human stomping towards you.

>But- it can’t be. He should be home.

“Anon?”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

>”It is so easy to just relax Anon. Just relax…”

>He releases another wave into his mind tap.

>Blistering agony weaves itself into your form.

>Please girls…

>You close your eyes, putting all your effort into keeping out Discord.

>hurry…

 

>A surge of energy hits you, one you’ve felt before.

>Discord senses this too, turning his head back.

>You can’t let him get away.

>You reach out for your sword, reenacting the wampa cave scene from Star Wars.

>You won’t let him away!

>Letting go of your mind, you pull the sword into your hand.

 

>Discord finally enters your mind forcibly corrupting every inch of it.

>You wrap your legs around his waist, locking the two of you together.

>He tries to get away and loosens his grip.

“Not today motherfucker!”

>You sink your sword deep into his neck.

>Blood spews out of his wound.

>The corruption spreads, encompassing your entire being.

 

>You sense Discord’s vulnerability, your sword severely weakening him.

>The opportunity of his power is too good to pass up.

>Channeling your energy through the sword, you siphon Discord’s being into you.

>The feeling is indescribable as Discord’s very soul enters you.

>His body falls lifeless before you, freeing your body.

>You draw your sword from his corpse, chaos dripping down the blade.

 

>Your gaze turns upward, the mane 6 activating the elements.

>Another ray of light appears as the rainbow spirals towards you.

>You try to escape, but it’s too late.

>The rainbow engulfs you bringing about another type of pain all together.

>Your limbs are frozen in place numb to the world around them.

>The sword in your hand grows heavy as it morphs into stone.

>Your head is the last to go.

>The mane 6 fulfilling their purpose.

>Sealing the chaos within.

>They will pay for this…

 

>Day… something in Equestria.

>Time seems redundant when you cannot appreciate it.

>Your stony prison is absolute in its defense.

>Try as you might, nothing seems to be able to break its form.

>Those ponies you called your friend betrayed you.

>They encased you in this hellish prison.

>You will find a way out of here, and when you do…

>Chaos may have been Discord’s purpose.

>Domination and Destruction will be mine.

 

>A group of ponies, diverse in race, approach your statue.

>”I told myself I’d never come here.”

>”It’s ok, it isn’t your fault.

>”It’s just…”

>These feeble beings dare to speak of you like a thing.

>They will feel the wrath of your awakening.

>”It’s all right Rainbow. You don’t have to say anything.”

>That name sounds familiar, maybe a conniving p0ny from decades past.

 

>”I’d like to spend a few moments alone with him…”

>A p0ny that speaks of you, how flattering…

>”All right, come find us when you’re ready to go.”

>How you would tear out their throats.

>Confound this shell of stone.

 

>“Hello Anon,” she knows your name, “It’s me Rainbow Dash.”

>Rainbow Dash? Rainbow Dash…

>Ahhh, her. How nice of her to pay you a visit.

>”I don’t know if you can hear me, but I hope you can in there.”

>Anon hears all my child…

>”I just- I wanted to say I’m sorry. I should have stopped.”

>She begins to cry, letting out her feelings.

>She should be sorry, her and the rest of that accursed mane 6.

 

>Rainbow goes on for several minutes much to your disdain.

>Pathetic really…

>”After you- Turned into this. I started getting sick.”

>A plague to your captors, how fitting.

>She gives off a little smile even in her tears.

>”You’re a father you know.”

>WHAT!

>”It’s a boy…”

>Another sob, this wench better keep talking.

 

>”He’s a Pegasus, like me. A great little flier too.”

>Magic is fucking bullshit. Discord’s last laugh you assume.

>”He has your eyes…”

>What is his name? What is the name of your spawn?

>”I named him after you, the last piece of you I have…”

>”I want to stay, but I can’t. I’m sorry.”

>With that, Rainbow flies off, back to her friends.

 

>You laugh to yourself.

>How fortunate are you.

>Discord has delivered to you salvation.

>A child, whose mind easy to meld.

>You stretch your voice over Equestria.

>Calling to him.

“Anoooooon.”

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

>”It is so easy to just relax Anon. Just relax…”

>He releases another wave into his mind tap.

>Blistering agony weaves itself into your form.

>Please girls…

>You close your eyes, putting all your effort into keeping out Discord.

>hurry…

 

>Nothing happens.

>You open your eyes looking at the mane 6.

>They can’t get the elements to work.

>If they don’t succeed….

>Discord notices your little predicament.

>”You didn’t honestly believe you had a chance did you?”

>Another wave, more pain.

>Not like this…

 

>You dig your fingers into his arm drawing blood.

>Discord yelps in pain, loosening his grip.

“NOT LIKE THIS!”

>You release all your emotion.

>Your sword swings to your free hand, chaos coursing through your veins.

>A single chop and your back on your feet.

>Discord yells in pain as you remove his severed hand from your throat.

>”You gave me a chance. Now let me give you a lesson… in pain!”

 

>You leap upon him, sinking your blade deep in his chest, just missing his heart.

“How does it feel Discord?” you say twisting your blade.

>You withdraw your sword, tossing it aside.

“I said. HOW DOES IT FEEL!?”

>You toss him into a nearby wall, leaving him drenched in blood.

>”Anon…” Twilight begins to say.

“Shut up Twilight! He’s mine!”

>You stomp over to Discord and place your hand on his head.

“Taste my pain!”

>You surge your will over his, burning his mind with your anguish.

“Having fun? Huh!?”

>Dribbles of drool roll out of Discord’s mouth.

“Pathetic.”

 

>You place your foot atop his lion arm, grabbing hold of his elbow.

“Maybe you’ll answer me if I do this…”

>You pull his arm with all your might.

>His scream pierces the silence of the night.

“Answer me swine! Are you having fun!?”

>Pull a bit harder.

>He lets out another wail of pain.

>”No!”

>You smile down on him.

“Good.”

>A little tug and you rip his arm from his body.

 

>You cover your ears to muffle his pestering scream.

“Silence!” You yell as you slap him with his own hand.

>Tears roll down his eyes, obeying.

>You bring his arm around again, slapping him once more.

“Stop hitting yourself.” *slap*

“Stop hitting yourself.” *slap*

>You bellow loudly, tossing aside his dismember limb.

“Isn’t this fun?!”

 

>The joy of domination, you might as well have some fun.

“I have a few questions for you Discord.”

>You take a deep breath.

“What do I look like?”

>”W-what?”

>You kick him in the stomach.

>”What country you from?”

>”What?”

“What ain’t no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?

>”W-w-what?”

“English Motherfucker do you speak it?!”

>Damn you love that movie.

 

>You smell… something…

>An odor of strength. It is… enticing…

>You sniff around, the aroma coming from Discord himself.

“What is that delicious scent?”

>Discord doesn’t respond, still wallowing in agony.

>You pick him up by his throat, pinning him against the wall.

>The roles now reversed.

 

>His strength… His power… You can smell it.

“You know Discord,” you say clenching and unclenching your fist.

“It is so easy to just relax Discord. Just,” a fiendish grin on your face, “relax.”

>You clench your fist bringing it down on the wound in his chest.

>The tightness of the wound stops you from proceeding.

“It’s your first time so I’ll be gentle.”

>Forcing your hand into his wound his body tenses up, screaming in pain.

”Or not.”

 

>You work your arm down his wound, navigating around broken bones and burst organs.

“Here kitty kitty kitty. Where are you?”

>The mane 6 are paralyzed in shock at your behavior.

>This isn’t the Anon that they know.

>But it’s the Anon you had hidden.

>You reach another organ, throbbing weakly at your touch.

“There you are…”

>Wrapping your fingers around it, you rip it out of Discord.

>Discord’s body slumps, his life ended in one clean tear.

>There in your hands, the source of the intoxicating scent, is the heart of a god…

 

>Discord’s heart still beats in your grasp, his corpse at your feet.

>The power of a god at your fingertips, it’s… delicious.

>”Anon.” Twilight calls out to you.

“Hmmm?” you mutter, not taking your eyes of your prize.

>She sees the object in your hand, her voice trembling.

>”D-destroy it Anon.”

“Destroy it?” you ask turn to the group.

“I think not.”

>”Please Anon, don’t make us-“

>Your laugh interrupts her.

“We both know you won’t do shit against me…”

>You turn your back to them.

“but with me…”

 

>”Anon what in the hay are you talking about?”

“Discord is gone, my promise is fulfilled, but I have… plans for Equestria. You can join me if you wish.”

>”No Anon, we won’t.”

“I may not give you a choice.”

>You sink your teeth into the heart, blood spraying in your face.

>”NO!” Celestia screams charging at you.

>You grin, sending Celestia flying with a single thought.

“Who knew god was so delicious.”

 

>A bolt of lightning strikes your back, cracking upon impact.

“I’ll get to you in a minute Twilight,” you chuckle returning to your dinner.

>You devour the heart, face drenched in blood.

>You wipe off the blood with Discord’s arm tossing it away again.

“Yum.”

>You face the mane 6, Celestia still recovering next to Nightmare Moon.

“That was a tasty heart.”

>Time to get cracking.

 

“I’ll give you all a choice,” you say glancing over them.

“You can join me willingly, gaining whatever your heart desires.”

>The p0nies stare at you, each with mixed feelings.

“Or I can make you…”

>You smile, taking a step back.

“The choice is yours.”

>Twilight steps forward.

>”I decline.”

>The others follow, each defying your rule.

>Your eyes twist in green.

“So be it.”

 

>Day 964 in Equestria

>The last remnants of the Resistance have retreated to a fortification in the icy wastes of the Shoh Mountains.

>A fitting resting place for those who defy my rule.

>By now it is already under siege by my legions.

>This crusade of mine has taken far longer than I have desired.

>Was it worth it?

>Of course it is.

 

>You emerge from your tent, absorbing the chilling winds of the mountain.

>Explosions ring throughout the sky.

>All as planned.

“Come Ripley, time to go.”

>Your pet exits the tent towering by your side.

“I always wanted a xenomorph as a pet.”

>You scratch its head before calling out for a ride.

 

“Fluttershy! Where are you?”

>”Coming my lord.”

>Fluttershy appears, riding atop of Wuten.

“How is the battle going my dear?”

>Wuten sets down, allowing you and Ripley to board.

>”Oh just wonderful, those deserters don’t have a chance against you my lord.”

“Please, you can still call me Anon.”

>”Thank you Anon.”

>It’s good to see Fluttershy abandon that old demeanor of hers. She doesn’t care much for the life of your subjects, though she still cares deeply for animals of all sizes.

>It’s for that reason that you made her general of the beast battalion. Every creature from bunnies to dragons to xenomorphs is under her command.

>Your gaze turns to the smoke ridden castle.

“And the new units I sent to your battalion?

>”Flawless, these creatures are simply machines,” she says petting Ripley.

“Perfect,” you reply approaching the castle, “Take Ripley back to the battle, he needs a workout.”

>”Of course Anon.”

 

>You jump off Wuten, landing in a sheet of snow.

>The generals better be waiting for you.

>You enter the War Tent where a group of ponies stand ready.

“My friends, how is the war effort?”

>Twilight is the first to speak.

“Quite well Anon, my force has your siege equipment shielded from enemy fire.”

>You nod. Twilight has definitely grown up during her time in the war. She has donned the skull of her former teacher as a sign of her commitment.

>She is now your personal student, studying the art of chaos. She leads a specialized unit of magic users, Trixie and Nightmare Moon being her top lieutenants.

“Good, and how is said equipment Applejack?”

 

>”Spick and Span. After we managed to capture those Flim and Flam brothers in the last raid, our equipment is top notch sugarcube.”

>Applejack, leader of your basic ground forces and siege weapons. These sieges would take months if not for her and Big Macintosh’s leadership.

“Brilliant, and Rarity?”

>”Ghastly, there is no way we should have gone into battle so unprepared.”

“What’s the problem? You said the army was equipped with your newest armor.”

>”Yes, but it wasn’t finished in its design. The chest piece doesn’t match helmets, and the boots… This is the worst, possible, thing.”

>She proceeds to pull out a chaise lounge and fall upon it.

>Even now she’s still a fashionista drama queen.

 

“Whatever, Pinkie?”

>Pinkie darts in cupcake in mouth.

>”yerhfp (yes)?”

“Any dissent among the ranks?”

>She gulps down her food, “Not in about… ten seconds.”

“What happens in te-“

>An explosion racks the area near you.

>”That silly.”

“The usual?”

>”The usual, but this time they had a unicorn.”

>Pinkie Pie, your personal bodyguard and Secret Police Chief. She uses her ability to be everywhere at all times to detect any insurrection among the masses. Truly vital.

 

“And Rainbow Dash?”

>Nothing.

“Where the hell is Rainbow Dash?”

>A gush of air hits you, followed by a armor clad Dash.

>“Right here Anon.”

>You simply shake your head.

“Air Division?”

>”Flying strong, I’ve got Gilda and Spitfire up there now.”

>Dash obviously leads your Air Division, making sure nop0ny makes an escape to the skies.

 

>You nod to them, walking back into the wastes where they follow.

>Walking through the ranks of your army, they follow.

>Through the shattered gates, they follow.

>In the entrails of their foes, they follow.

>Wherever you go, they follow.

>These are your little ponies, which have followed you through thick and thin.

>You will fight day after day, foe after foe, victory after victory for another chance to be among them.

>It seems, even in war…

 

>Friendship is magic…
