Deja Discord, Part 1: Au, Contraire



    It was a glorious day in Equestria. The avatar of chaos had been defeated, and a new stained-glass window was added to Princess Celestia's grand hall. The Element Bearers and all of Ponyville gathered in the castle to celebrate. The Princess turned to her faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. "Thank you, Twilight," she said. "You showed true bravery and confidence earlier today. And with that, you brought the end of Discord, once and for all."

An evil laugh filled the great hall. Large pink clouds swirled overhead. "What in tar-nation?" Applejack managed to get out. everyone was in shock at this sight, but none more than Twilight and Celestia.
-FLASH!-
A large figure loomed in the center of the hall. It reared back to show a familiar draconequus face. "Au, Contraire, mon Capitan..." It stated, sending a chill up everypony's spine. "Heeee's BAACK!" Discord let out another maniacal laugh.

The mish-mash creature snapped his eagle claws, and a sword appeared in it. He leveled it to the Princess, edgeing nearer and nearer...
Discord started swinging his arm randomly. He was a whole ten paces from the Princess. Celestia stared at him, sighing loudly. Suddenly, Discord no longer held a sword, but a trumpet. He tooted on it, without a care in the world. "Well, well well! Looks like chaos and disharmony clouded your precious elements! I'm freed again! Hahaha!" Discord snickered in the seven ponies' faces. Twilight snorted. "Swell." Discord looked at her, a playful smile on his mismatched face. "Oh, don't fret Twilight Sparkle! I do have some good news!"

He turned to the crowd, and a microphone appeared in front of him. "Dear subjects of Equestria," the voice echoed, seemingly making cat noises with each syllable. "I am pleased to announce that Harmony in Equestria is officialy dead! Your beloved Princesses have no power over me any more! And so," He turned to Celestia, giving her a playful wink (to which she scoffed at), and continued. "I now bestow upon Equestria the New Discord Order!" This earned some murmurs from ponies, at both the hipocrisy in the name and the very idea itself. Discord watched the confusion with glee, and sat back in Celestia's throne. "Aah, now this is comfort!" Celestia burned with rage at his action. "Discord, GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!" He simply checked his lion paw in half-interest. "Oh, and I was hoping for something like, 'hello again, Discord! It's nice to see you old friend!'" Celestia blushed slightly. "We're not friends." He showed a face of mock hurt. "You wound me, mon Capitan." He then levitated back to the stand, where he spoke again. "Dear citizens, please hear me out. Though it may be...hard to accept, even I wondered about it at first... I have changed, and am ready to start anew."

All of Equestria seemed silent for a good two minutes. Even the parasprites stopped buzzing around. "...What? Don't believe me?" Discord broke the silence with. Fluttershy jumped at the sudden speech. "Fifteen hundred years trapped in stone can change a draconequus. To be honest, I had the same plan earlier if SOMEPONY hadn't turned me to stone-AGAIN!" He glared at the mane 6, but mostly at Twilight. He then turned back to the crowd. "*sigh* Yes, I will still provoke some chaos here and there, but come ON! Lighten up a bit, everypony!" Just then, peppermint sticks rained from the ceiling. "A creature who showers his subjects with candy can't be ALL bad, right?" Discord smiled big at everypony, and you could hear a bubbly voice pray for it to rain chocolate every day. The crowd was still unimpressed, but knew that they had no choice. Discord was a powerful being, even stronger than Celestia. The Elements of Harmony failed somehow, so there's no point in using them again.

The solar princess stepped up to the microphone. "My little ponies, it seems as though Discord is telling the truth." To this, many gasped or scoffed, thinking the Princess had gone mad. "It's... quite hard to cope with, but Discord's reign shall begin again. I'm... sorry, my faithful sunjects." She fought back tears. Discord appeared next to her, with a towel in hand. "Oh, why the long face, Celly?" He chuckled at his choice of words. "Under the New Discord Order, I shall let... some things stay the same. I'm flexible. But don't let it get to you too much." He added that last bit with some edge to his voice, but it was instantly replaced by a blinding grin. "My dear, it is just the beginning! We shall rule all of Equestria," he leaned close to her. "With you by my side." Discord laughed loudly. That was it. Celestia couldn't take him anymore. Her horn flared with magic. Twilight moved to stop her princess. "Wait, Princess! What're y-"
-FLASH!-
"Wh-what did you do? Hey, What in the-"
a blood-curdling scream rang through the entire castle.
This story takes place right after the events of Return of Harmony, Part 2. It shows Discord coming back, with obvious references to Star Trek.

Enjoy!
