>Let’s take a break from you and your misguided chaos and return to Cheeselegs.
>Cheeselegs is still in shock.
>You just pretty much told her to fuck off.
>For what might be the first time in her life, she feels emotional pain.
>She gags at the taste it leaves in her mouth.
>Confused, she teleports.
 
>Enter Ponyville, Chaos Capital of the world.
>Cheese poni is ignored because of overall fucked up world.
>Well, until she runs into Twilight Sprinkle and her friends.
>Purple pone is wary.
>”Chrysalis! What… happened to you?”
>Pink one giggles and burst into laughter.
>”SHE”S MADE OUT OF CHEESE! BWAHAHA!”
>”Do not antagonize me!” she snaps back.
>Twilight, the geek of the group, notices the somewhat baffled and pained expression on Cheeselegs’ face.
>”Something’s off. What is it?”
>”Those two came in and he just pretty much told me off.” She says, still frustrated. “That isn’t like him at all.”
>Twilight looks to her friends and back to Chrysalis.
>”That would be Discord’s fault. Did he look… different?”
>”Now that you mention it, he was lacking some saturation. Why? What did Discord do to him?!”
>Her uncomposed response surprises the ponies.
>”…Before Discord changed him…” Twilight started. “He… said that he lo-!”
>”I’m aware.” Chrysalis replies.
>”Oh..”
>Twatlick Spitoon seems unsure of what to say next, but it doesn’t really matter, as Chrysalis speaks again.
>”I’m going to find him.”
>”Then what?” asks Twilight Newmoon.
>”Then I’m going to give him a piece of my mind.
 
>Back to the star of the show, you.
>Just turned nearby trees into lollipops.
>Currently gnawing on one.
>Hear squishing noise.
>Here comes Cheese Poni.
 
“Wagh do gou gant?”
 
>You manage to say, the massive candy in your mouth [spoiler]non-sexually[/spoiler]
>”Your behavior is foalish. Cease this  at once! You have a duty to the Swarm!”
>She’s trying to sound serious, but you don’t care.
>Remove candy from mouth.
 
“Fuck off! I told you I’m done being your chow!”
 
>Cheesy Pony can’t take a hint.
>”What about me?! You said you’d give up a chance to go back to your home for me!”
>You don’t even bother replying.
>Cheese pony runs off.
>You shrug and go back to your candy tree.
 
>Breaking from you again.
>Cheeselegs finally slows down and stops, in full on tears.
>Ponies approach from behind.
>”…Queen Chrysalis?” Twilight asks, more curious than concerned.
>”What do you want?” the Queen snaps.
>”Are you… alright?”
>”Of…of course!”
>It’s clear she’s lying.
>”We found these lying on the ground.”
>Chrysalis turns and sees the devices that Twilight holds in her magical grip.
>The same items that had been on your wrists until you decided to discard them.
>They’re dull, the glow not present anymore.
>”Do you know what they are?” asks Twilight.
>”Yes. They’re the devices he uses to change into that odd outfit. However, they’re dead; the Spirit Emerald that was powering them has become too corrupt to function.”
>An idea hits her full force.
>”If we expose it to more Spirit Emerald, perhaps we can repair them.”
>”An’ then what? What good’re they gonna do US?” comments Applejack.
>”If we can restore them and get them onto Anon’s wrists, then maybe it will undo the effects of Discord’s power you simpleton!”
>Chrysalis takes the devices and turns to leave.
>Purple Unicorn stops her.
>”We’re coming too.”
>”Fine.”
>The group vanishes and reappears in the storage cave.
>Twilight and Rarity’s jaws hit the floor at the sight.
>Cheeselegs touches items to a massive chunk of the stone and promptly drops the devices as there’s a magical backlash.
>When they stop smoking, it’s revealed they’ve changed shape.
>While one is on a strap, the other has turned into a small rectangular box.
>Cheeselegs cautiously picks them up and eyes them.
>”Well, on the bright side, we only have to get one of them on him.”
 
>Return to you.
>You’ve given up on the tree and now you’re resting on the underside of a tree branch because fuck gravity.
>You yawn and slowly doze off, the horrified screams of ponies music to your tainted ears.
>Back to Cheeselegs.
>Sneaks up on you and touches device to left wrist.
>Bam, time for another reboot.
>Your color returns again, your t-shirt becoming a vivid green, your shorts staying a dark kahki.
>Loading…
>DING!
>Your break in the connection with Discord causes you to fall on your head.
 
“Ow… what happened? Last thing I remember was…”
 
>You panic.
 
“Where’s Discord?”
 
>”You mean you don’t remember anything at all?” asks Cheesepony.
 
“No…. What did I miss?”
 
>You receive a cheezy slap to the face.
 
“What was that for?!”
 
>”You said some… bad things” informs Nightlight Spitwad.
>Oh.
 
“Whatever I said, we can talk about it later. Right now I need to stop Discord and rectify my mistakes!”
 
>You raise your arms and  notice only one device on your wrist.
>Oh.
>That’s a problem.
>Cheese pony hands you a small device.
>Okay, now you’re getting it.
>Upgrade.
>Find Discord.
>Call that sonnovabitch out.
 
“Discord!”
 
>He looks to you and frowns.
>”So they changed you back. Pity.”
 
“Oh they did more than that! SHIFT INTO TURBO!”
 
 >Instead of the overly elaborate motions done in the show, you just stick the key into the slot and turn.
>New costume, new powers, new anon.
>Time to kick some ass.
>Channel power into hands and hit Discord with energy blast.
>Bastard doesn’t see it coming and gets sent flying back.
>Soon joined by Purple Tinker and company.
 
“You guys ready?”
 
>”For what?”
 
“To do that thing with the rainbows and the faggotry and the WOOSH!”
 
>They grasp what you’re trying to get across and nod.
>Discord’s back and whoo boy is he pissed off.
 
“NOW!”
 
>You enter battle with him, fighting like you never knew you could.
>Ass beating engaged.
>After giving him the old beat down, you jump back.
>Time for the fireworks.
>Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle motherfucker.
>Discord is turned to stone again.
>You aren’t satisfied with that.
>You charge another blast of magic.
>”Wait, Anon, what are you-!” starts Turnedon Noscope.
>Statue is now rubble.
 
“No more chances.”
 
>Rainbows turn the world back to normal.
>Gayest way to save the world ever.
>Day is saved, you got new powers, things are looking up except for one thing.
>Cheeselegs.
>She’s avoiding your gaze.
>What do, Anon?
