Unforeseen Consequences - The chaos carnival (pt14)

>*Krakooom*
>The blast that was meant for Eris hits the ground leaving a pretty big sized crater that actually managed to leave some pretty big cracks on Twilight’s castle walls along with shattering every single window of every building nearby.
>”We missed…” Celestia states with a stoic voice as she turns to where you were
>”…Seems like Discord finally decided to show up…” Luna replies to her sister as she glares at Discord who was holding Eris like if she was some kind of high luxury scarf
>Discord just smirks at your mothers, waving his paw playfully…
>As for the elements of harmony, Aegia and Moonlight…they were dumbfounded about you suddenly not being in front of them, about Discord appearing out of nowhere and saving the creature that took you away.
>The first one to step fly to Discord was Celestia, who looks at him dead in the eye, and her horn glowing ”Discord, you have one minute to explain why you stopped us from sending that creature to Tartarus…”
>”Aaaaah! Celly-Belly How long has it been since I saw you and your sister this agitated?” Discord stroked his white beard, grinning at Celestia “It almost feels like it has been more than a thousand years… so, for nostalgia sake I’m going to dare to ask…What if I don’t tell you anything?”
“DISCORD!”
>Seriously, what the fuck was his problem?
>Luna intervenes by stomping her right hoof on the ground making the earth to tremble “Then we will send you, along with that monster to a trip that there shall be no return!”
>Discord rolls her eyes at Luna and focuses on Celestia who just narrows her eyes at him and growls ”Speak now, Discord…”
>Celestia’s glare was enough to make even Discord flinch a little, he knew that she was being serious, and that was something that not even the spirit of chaos himself was willing to play with
>”Alright! But I can’t believe what little humor you two have…” Discord groans and looks away for a moment to clear his throat and thoughts “…I also can’t believe that you were going to banish the sole reason that your beloved foal is here…” He musters with a chuckle
>”WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” Luna yells at Discord with so much force that you and everyone else except for Discord and Celestia had to cover their ears.
>”Sister, please…” Celestia gently calms her sister before turning to Discord with that same terrifying glare “Explain yourself, Discord…and you better not be cryptic”
>Discord pats your head and gives you a smile “Tell me Anon…Do you know the gal that I’m wearing with so much style?”
>You look to Discord, then to Eris and then to your mothers…you didn’t have an idea for what he was going for…but this was probably the best bet that you had to save your friend, as much of a bitch as she acted, you couldn’t let her face the destiny that awaited her if you didn’t do nothing.
>You slowly nod and look at Eris
“Yes…Her name is…Eris…”
>You close your eyes and take a big breath… come on Anon, don’t screw everything, because if you do, then it’s all over for that bitch you call your best friend.
“Her name is Eris, she and I have been friends for a very long time, so please…”
>You bow to your mothers…begging…almost crying
“Don’t hurt her!”
>”I…I…” Luna shakes her head and flies to where you were, embracing you in a tight and warm hug “I don’t what to do, my little star…” Luna gently nuzzles onto your mane and looks to her sister “Celie…sister…I do not think that our dear son is trying to be deceptive…what do you think?”
>Celestia sighs and rubs her temples “I don’t know either…Our little Anon could be saying the truth” She glares at Discord “Or he could have been intimidated by Discord to go along with whatever he’s planning…”
“No! I swear that’s not true! Eris is my friend!”
>”Oh for everything that is chaotic!” Discord snaps his talons, teleporting Applejack right in front of Celestia
>“Whoa! What in tarnation?!” Applejack exclaims while looking at everyone with confusion
>”Hush!” Discord slaps her in the back of her head “Now, you are supposed to be the element of honesty and all that sugary, rainbow colored jittery…if there’s anypony who would never lie and would know when anypony is lying, that would be you, so please, tell the oh, so glorious Princess of the sun! About what her beloved son said about this cheap version of me…”
>”I swear fer mah farm, Discord! If ya ever do that again, then I’ll buck yer hide into the middle of the next week lookin’ both ways fer Sunday! Do ya hear me?!” Applejack angrily waves her hoof at Discord before straightening her hat and offering a bow to both of your mothers
>”Ah’m sorry, yer highness, it’s just that some ponies could make Princess Celestia mad enough to kick in some stained glasses!” Applejack gasps and blushes, trying to hide behind her hat after realizing what she just said “Pardon me, Ah just was talkin’ ya know, that’s how mah family…”
>Celestia can’t help but laugh “Don’t worry, dear Applejack. I take no offence because trust me…” Celestia glares at Discord once more before offering the poor earth pony a soft smile “You couldn’t be more spot, but please, could you answer Discord’s question? Did my son really refer to that other draconequus as his friend?”
>”What? Yer not mad at me? A-Ah mean…” Applejack’s clears her throat “Eeeyup, lil’ Anon said that gal was his friend, and Ah gotta be honest ‘cause bein’ honest it’s what Ah do better than anypony… Ah don’t think that Anon was lyin’… The lil’ guy doesn’t look like a fella who would call an alligator a lizard and he was willin’ to go to her rescue faster than green grass through a goose!”
>Thank you Applejack, thank you so goddamn much you wonderful orange horse
>Celestia can’t help but to giggle at how Applejack worded your actions, she makes a polite bow to the earth pony and gives her a wide smile “Thank you, honest Applejack…you will have my eternal gratitude”
>You can see Applejack blushing and smiling ”Aww shoot, it was nothin’ yer highness. Ah was-“
>”Yeah, yeah, that was lovely…” Discord huffs and snaps his talons, making Appejack teleport back to where the rest of her friends were.
>You see Applejack yelling something and throwing her hat to the ground, but can’t tell what she said…only that it made the rest of the group gasp in shock and Rarity to faint.
>Discord chuckles before looking at Celestia right in the eye and with his usual arrogance “You see? I was just telling the truth, but oh poor me…” Discord puts his paw over his forehead and fakes indignation “Always the misunderstood, always the untrusted, even when I saved the prince’s best friend…”
>Grrrr! You hated when he acted like that, so much that you can’t contain your words
“Discord! Stop trying to play the martyr and go to the point!”
>Celestia nods ”I agree with my son, enough is enough, Discord. You are not fooling anypony”
>”Oh brother...” Discord rolls his eyes so hard…that they were actually spinning, stopping just when Discord bonks his head “If you want to know the full story, yes this little rabbit right here saved the little prince’s life…”
>Discord drops Eris onto the ground and snaps his talons, making the silhouette of an unconscious you to appear “I suppose that you remember the fate  of the world where I found the little prince, right?”
>Celestia glares at Discord and nods…
>Discord just smirks and continues with his explanation “Aaaaah! Goood, that means that you are not going senile, but let’s move on because you see…I found the little Anon unconscious…under the debris of a destroyed building and hugged tightly to what seemed the rests of his little bed…”
>Discord was looking at you, like if expecting something…but you can’t come up with anything…you just start choking and hard
“I-I…”
>”Stop with that, you monster! What is the meaning of trying to torture my little star by making him relive his darkest hour?!” Luna barks at Discord, finally tired of his shit
>”It’s not like he can remember anything, you know? He was on the brink of…well… having a very, very, long dream before I found him….” Discord doesn’t even bother to turn to your dear Luna, instead he just giggles “And this has everything to do with everything, because I’m sure that the two of you found strange that such a small colt could survive something like that….”
>With his talon, Discord points to Celestia “Or at least I’m sure that you thought of that, my dear Princess of the Sun, my sweet Princess of everything that is harmony…and this young draconequus who’s lying right there, unconscious and hurt because of you…”
>Discord narrows his eyes at Celestia “Is the very reason that I could “little sunshine” in the first place! She gave up so much to protect him from that cataclysm, and gave up so much more so she could reunite with her best and only friend!”
>Celestia looks to Eris and takes a step towards her
>But Discord wasn’t done ”And then you tried to banish her to Tartarus’ darkest pits after destroying the tender reunion that these two surely must have had!”
>”Enough, Discord! I understand already!” Celestia turns to you looking you right in the eye, tears of shame flowing down her cheeks “Is that true my sunshine? I will believe everything that you tell me, but please answer me, is it true that this draconequus…Eris as you called her, is your friend?”
>You look to Luna who was expecting your answer, but never letting go of that sweet, soft, kind smile of hers, and then to Celestia…
>You look to Eris…to Catherine…and remember all that you two have been gone through…how she was basically your only friend through a good chunk of High School, how she annoyed you to no end to apply to the MIT
>The happiness that you had when she joined the AOSR as a security guard… all of the travels that you did with her and the boys… like Tijuana...no, fuck Tijuana, if anything you should forget that shit show of a weekend…
>But still… she might be the biggest bitch in the whole wide world…that didn’t change much actually…but nonetheless, it wasn’t a lie to say that she has always been there for you and you have always been there for her… she’s your best friend…
>You take a sigh and nod to your mother…
“As I said…yes, Eris is my friend…my best friend…I owe her so much, so please moms… I know that she did wrong by casting all that chaos magic upon Ponyville, I know that she did wrong by trying to attack you…but please…please! …PLEASE! I beg of you, don’t send my best friend away, she’s the only one that I know from my old world and…and she’s my best friend….please moms, don’t take Eris away from me!”
>”Worry not, my little star…” Luna softly whispers into your ear as she proceeds to nuzzle into your mane.
>”I suppose…that we went overboard…but as Luna said, don’t worry my dear…” Celestia nuzzles into you too “Your friend is not going anywhere…but…”
>”But we have a carnival to save! So now that we can leave the melodrama behind us, we can actually have some fun!” Discord snaps his fingers before Celestia can say a thing…making time to freeze once more
>You let out a sigh and roll your eyes at Discord
“I suppose that you want to say something else, or to rub in your victory…or both. I’m sorry to “disappoint” you once more but I’m not in the mood”
>Discord crosses his arms and looks away ”Hmph! Well, I was going to say some words of congratulations to you since that was an outstanding performance, but if you’re going to act like a little filly, then I’m not even gonna bother with you!”
>But that just pissed you off even more
“Performance?! You think that this is just a game?! This is my best friend whose life was on the line! What happened to you Discord?! I thought that we were friends!”
>”Oh but we are friends!” Discord turns immediately to you “Can’t you see that I’ve been helping you all this time?!”
“Oh, really?! Because I just saw that you don’t care about anyone except yourself. You just manipulate people into doing what you want!”
>”Well you are here, aren’t you? And your friend is here too, doesn’t she?” Discord raises an eyebrow, and pinches your cheek “So calm down, everything is fine and dandy now, let’s calm down, besides I feel like celebrating!”
>You growl at him but can’t do anything else since you were trapped in Luna’s embrace of warmness and love.
“WELL, I DON’T!”
>Discord lets out a small chuckle “That’s a shame, one would be led to believe that since now your friend seems to be in the clear, you would be jumping in joy and chanting hurrahs! And all that dumb stuff that ponies do…”
>”But, since you decided to get so uppity all of the sudden, then I guess that I will have to be a little more serious, so…” Discord clears his throat and zaps Eris, making her to grumble “My, my, seems like our little rabbit has a heavy sleep!”
“What are you trying to do to her, Discord? Because I swear to god, if you even think about hurting her-“
>”Oh, hush! I’m just trying to wake her up…” Discord groans and rolls his eyes “You better watch that attitude of yours, or you will become like that purple princess that you seem so… curious about…”
“You mean Twilight? Bleh, not anymore, she’s cute but I don’t know, after that thing about Starlight…I know that she had a point, but that didn’t justifies that she acted like a jerk to her friends when they didn’t agree about going to see that mare”
>”I suppose that you won’t berate me for helping you with that mare?” Discord asks you with some curiosity
“I don’t know, should I? Because after seeing how you really think and act, I’m starting to have my doubts if that little kidnapping wasn’t orchestrated too…”
>Discord pinches his nose and groans “Oh, big, fat mother of chaos give me patience with this foal!” He takes a deep breath and looks at you with annoyance “I can’t believe that you are making me act all sappy and feelsy twice in the same century…No, Anon that whole deal with the pink unicorn was a complete surprise to me…”
“And what about Catherine? How can I be sure that you simply didn’t made her a draconequus, mess with her mind and then release her upon the world so she could break havoc while you laid back and laugh!”
>You feel Discord’s indignation flowing from his glare “Because for starters, her mind was already a mess before I even met her…”
“Oh yeah, well that’s! That’s… actually true…yeah…”
>”And secondly, I can’t control what the transformation process is, I wish I could, but that’s something even beyond me or those two…” Discord lowers his head, looking at you right in the eye “Do you really think that I would be so stupid as to give anypony the same amount of magic that I have?” He looks at her for a moment and cringes a little bit “Actually, she might have a bit-wee more than yours truly…”
“How…do you know that?”
>Discord looks at you with a mild baffled expression “What, are you telling me that you can’t tell these things? Eh, like I care…well, kinda…whatever, listen I never planned for your friend to become a draconequus, and I never planned for her to actually enter to Equestria like she did. what I said earlier was a joke, promise…”
>You raise an eyebrow and look at Discord with some distrust
“Really?”
>”You see that pony over there?” Discord points to…
“Fluttershy?”
>He nods and sighs ”That’s right, that mare is more important to me than anything else in Equestria, and before you get any weird ideas, no, it’s not your pathetic excuse of “love” I won’t go on details about what she means to me, but I swear on her, I swear on Fluttershy that everything I just told you is the truth and nothing less than the truth…so please, can you drop that little attitude of yours? It’s starting to actually hurt…”
>You glare at Discord and…and…fuck…he actually looked like he was being legit on this one…this might be a mistake…a huge mistake…but…
“Alright Discord, I will believe your words, I will give you this chance, regardless of how you just acted just because you are my friend….and yeah, you saved Catherine, speaking of which, I guess that you want to wake her up to fill her in on your little story, right?”
>Discord smiles…a big, warm smile, he sighs in relief and nod “Thanks…and yeah, you got that right pal! We don’t want her to just screw the big save that your big, ole’ pal Discord just did, right?!” Discord exclaims with enthusiasm while flattering himself
“Yeah, yeah…but as I keep telling you, let’s go to the point and get over with this”
>”Sure! I don’t know how much longer I will be able to keep those two in place!” Discord zaps Cath…Eris once more, this time with a little more strength
“That’s a surprise, I didn’t think that you would ever admit weakness, but I reckon that’s a nice change”
>Discord was still zapping Eris, who just didn’t woke up “That’s because, I didn’t actually think that I would ever see them going full power ever again! Hah! Seems like our sleeping ugly is finally waking up!”
>But Discord didn’t care that Eris was actually rubbing her eyes and stretching herself, he continued with his zapping
>”Hnnng! would you quit that?! I’m awake already!” With a quick motion, Eris stops the zapping, glaring at Discord with anger “Sheesh! Have you ever heard of a beauty sleep?! Oh wait, your face is made of ugly, of course you haven’t!”
“Eris? Are you okay?”
>Eris rubs her temples, and shakes her head ”Ugh! Keep the tone down, you dork! I feel worse than Mardi Gras…but hey, at least this time you could remember my nameeeaaaAAAAH!”
>Eris actually becomes terrified when she looks at your mothers, so much that she immediately hops and hovers behind Discord
>”H-Hey Dork!” Eris gasps when she realizes that you were being held by Luna “R-run away! Those gals are hella powerful!”
>You roll her eyes and give Eris a cocky smile
“Oh, what happened to that confidence of yours? I thought that you could defeat anything and anyone with your powers, heh, but don’t worry, my moms won’t hurt you…”
>”Yet…” Discord adds with an evil grin of his
>”T-those are your mothers?!” Eris yells at you before yelling at Discord “And what do you mean with yet?!”
>Discord slaps his face and groans “Are you serious? Can’t you see that they are frozen in time? Oh wait, you suck at chaos, of course you can’t…” He adds with sarcasm
>”R-Really?” Eris flies to where Celestia was and timidly pokes at her “Wait…HAH HAH! That means that I won!” She sticks her tongue out at Celestia and starts dancing around her “That’s what you get from messing with me!”
>”You know, I could unfreeze her…” Discord lets out a chuckle “I would love to see if you keep that little display of yours…”
>”W-What?!” Eris asks in shock “S-So you did this?!” She looks around, noticing that the entire world was frozen in time “All of this?!”
>”Chaos is more than just squashing a town under cheap cake, you know?” Discord replies with some annoyance “Still, the river of milk was a nice touch many ponies who are unexperienced in the ways of chaos would just summon a normal river, so I will give you points for paying attention to details, anyways…”
>Discord extends his arm and grabs Eris by the ear “You will now listen to what I have to say, young lady!”
>Eris was struggling to release herself from Discord’s grip, but to no avail ”Owowowowowowowow! Lemme go, you big jerk! Anoooon! Make him stop!”
>You sigh and shake your head, getting comfortable in Luna’s embrace
“Discord…please…”
>”As you say…” Discord slams Eris onto the ground, making her dizzy for a brief moment…
>”Jerk…” Eris musters when she gets back up and dusts herself off “Whatever…I’m going…see ya later nerds!” she starts to make that circular motion again, fuck!
“Eris, wait! You can’t leave!”
>”Or, what?” Eris chuckles with sarcasm “You are gonna chase me? Hah, I told you before, dork. You can’t stop me!”
>”Maybe not, but those two sure can…”Discord intervenes, pointing at Celestia with his talons “And you can bet anything that if you go away without saying your apologies and goodbyes like a good little girl, then they will chase you until the end of the world, and they will find you, trust me, I have toooons of experience with them….”
>”Hnnng…” Eris flinches by that, looking with fear at both of your mothers “P-point taken...” She lands on the ground and growls “So what do you want anyways?!”
>”That you shut up and listen…” Discord replies…surprising with tons of seriousness in his voice “I can’t hold them for much longer…”
>He sighs “Nopony can, at least not when they are at full power, so here’s what’s going to happen: I’m going to tell you what your role is, what your story is and after everything is said, you will make peace with them and be a nice girl with the town ponies…”
>Eris narrows her eyes and walks towards Discord ”Grrr! You are not my boss! You can’t make me-“
>”Ah Ah Ah! I didn’t say that you could speak yet…” Discord grins at her “Unless that you want to have an early rematch, you better keep listening…”
>Eris doesn’t say anything, she just growls and sits on the ground
>”Good girl, now where do I begin?” Discord strokes his white beard and tells Eris everything about the little backstory that he made for you and her.
>About that supposed destroyed world where you came from and how she saved your life and gave up everything to meet you again…
>When Discord is finally done with the story and what Eris role was supposed to be, she can’t help but to…laugh “Hah! Oh man! I knew that Discord wasn’t very bright but you Anon? AHAHAHAAHAH! I can’t believe that you’d go with something THAT stupid!”
>Discord’s eyebrows explodes into flames as he gives Eris a vicious glare ”What?! You dare to call me stupid?! Me?! ME?! You little brat! I’m going to-“
“Shut up Discord! For god’s sake, you are giving me a headache!”
>You turn to Eris who was doing her best to taunt Discord…
“Eris…”
>She turns to you and raises an eyebrow “That’s my name…What do ya want, dork?”
“Why do you think that our little cover up is…well…stupid? I thought that it was a clever little thing that it’s not telling the truth about our past life but it isn’t either a complete lie…I’m just curious”
>”Oh, brother…you were never that clever, weren’t you?” Eris shakes her head and shrugs “It’s easy, instead of coming up with such a stupid backstory for you, filled with that nasty drama, you could’ve just said “Oh, I went to another dimension, passed as a pony and adopted this big headed but adorable little kid! Ta-Da! Here are the papers! Suit yourselves and enjoy the “happiness” of motherhood”
>Eris chuckles and gives Discord a little grin “Much better AND practical than coming up with the next Oscar-winning script…”
>Discord raises his talon to protest but…”I…didn’t think of that, actually….” He strokes his white beard as he looks away, nodding to himself “That’s not a bad idea…not at all…”
>”Of course it isn’t! Who do you think that came up with it?!”Eris rolls her eyes and shrugs “Whatever…SO, if I go along with this little story of yours, I’m free to wander wherever I want, right?”
>Discord nods “Sure, sure, as long as you don’t repeat the little incident of today…and be dumb enough to leave witnesses, you are free…”
>”Alright! I like the sound of that!” Eris claps as she hovers above you “Let’s get over with this before those two decides to not being a statue anymore and blast me again with their lasers of death!”
>You…were a little disappointed by that…you didn’t want your friend to go away just like that…but what else could you do? Imprison her? No…You just decide to kept your silence
>”For once, we agree my little rabbit, let’s go…” Discord snaps his talons, unfreezing time and teleporting everyone, including the elements of harmony, Aegia and Moonlight to Ponyville’s town center.
