"Alright, very funny!" Madness Steve shouted.

"Nothing what you did was funny at all, especially that you tried to hurt my dear Fluttershy! You have noidea who you are messing with! I'm Discord, the Lord of Chaos and I can do whatever I want whenever I want!" Discord responded, still yelling in utter anger and rage at Madness Steve

"Maybe, but not when I'm around! I can also say the same thing! You have no idea who you are messing with either! I am Madness Steve, the accidental creation of the God Steves! I am feared by gods, demons, immortals... the list goes on! While this is only my False Form, I will still annihilate you as well as everything in my path! My only limits with this False Form is my imagination and power! I will not let you get in the way of what I wish to ultimately achieve, but that is none of your concern as you'll be dead!" Madness Steve shouted as he fired a bedrock beam at Discord. Discord then opened 2 portals, a portal covering him and a portal behind Madness Steve. The bedrock beam then went through the port and out the portal behind Madness Steve. Before Madness Steve's own beam hit him, Madness Steve did the same thing, he opened 2 portals, one covering him and the other behind Discord. They would repeat doing this several until they eventually stopped, with the bedrock beam ending up hitting and annihilating the Town Hall, causing mass panic in Ponyville as everypony started running in all sorts of directions.

Madness Steve then fires off several fireballs. These fireballs are not regular fireballs however, these ones did a lot more damage as well as doing whatever Madness Steve wanted once they blew up. All these fireballs are heading for Discord. Discord fires back with several large waffles covered in chocolate, blowing up the fireballs before they made contact. But the destroyed fireballs then started opening up several black holes, bending the fabric of space time around them, beginning to suck in several chunks of terrain and unfortunate ponies that were too close.

Discord then manages to close the black holes, with the snap of his eagle claws, but only once, so he had to do so for each black hole individually. Madness Steve then begins a storm. Large patches of pitch-black clouds now covered the skies raining down explosive lava. In response, Discord began a storm of his own, creating cotton candy clouds that rained down chocolate. For several minutes, Madness Steve and Discord fought for control over the clouds, causing several lightning strikes that had set fire to the already destroyed terrain, which is an area of the Everfree Forest.

"Is this all you have to offer!?" Discord shouted.

"No! Of course not!" Madness Steve laughed as he then teleported himself and Discord to a random to a random vacuum of empty void.

"Feel free to exert as much power as you want without harming your dear dear friends, you'll need to! I can't wait to see what you're able to do! Now, bring it on!" Madness Steve mocked Discord out loud as he summons 100 bedrock beams, aiming at Discord. Discord then clones himself a 100 times, each clone getting infront of each beam. Madness Steve fires off another 100 bedrock beams. Again, Discord creates 100 clones to block the beams. However, Madness Steve then opens 100 portals infront, each portal for each clone, connecting to just a single portal behind Discord. The beams then went through the portal and all the beams managed to hit Discord, managing to hurt him.

"Alright, you've asked for it!" Discord shouted, now using his chaos magic at full force. Discord then created a sphere of different portals around Madness Steve. Discord then opened a portal infront of him, connecting to the portals around Madness Steve.

"Let's see how well you can cope now," Discord chuckled as he began using all of his chaos magic through the portal that he created infront of him. All sorts of stuff began hitting Madness Steve. Discord is using his hax at full force. Discord creates a tall dark wooden chair with a red leather seat for him to sit down on. Now, Discord began to just casually use his powers, landing hit after hit on Madness Steve. Madness Steve tries to teleport out, but the portals teleported with him as he did. Madness Steve then uses his own hax at full force too, breaking free of those portals that were around him. Doing so cancelled the hax of both him and Discord, now rendering their hax at the moment useless. Madness Steve takes Discord by surprise by this and he punches him right on the nose, with the weight of several multiverses. Madness Steve knocks Discord out and gives him a very bloody nose. Madness Steve then gets out his lava-looking sword and tries to hit Discord with it. However, Discord regains his consciousness just at the right moment and moves out the way, just moments from being hit by the sword. Discord can sense a great amount of power coming from the sword Madness Steve is holding.

"One hit with that, I'm done for. I must not let him hit me with that,"Discord said to himself inside his head. Madness Steve goes in and tries to swing the sword at Discord. He teleports behind Madness Steve, about to push him in the back. However, Madness Steve quickly turns around, swinging that sword at Discord in defence. Discord barely moves out of the way, just about dodging the sword, which if it had of hit him, would've vaporized him. Discord tries to teleport again, but sees Madness Steve turns around again, attempting to swing the sword at Discord, who again dodges. Discord tries to go back to fighting at range, keeping distance between himself and Madness Steve. Discord began to get real serious. Madness Steve isn't a joke, he is a very powerful entity, which Discord is actually taken by surprise at. He severely underestimated Madness Steve. Madness Steve isn't like when he toyed about with Sombra, so the mane 6 could get the confidence to defeat Sombra, he is totally something else.

From now on, Discord starts taking Madness Steve seriously. Instead of summoning several balls of ice cream, chocolate waffles, balloons and stuff like he usually would when dealing with much less serious threats, Discord begins to summon countless astroids, neutron stars, white dwarfs, quasars, gamma rays, all being the size of multiverses, directly at Madness Steve. Madness Steve simply creates a black hole in front of each pieces of matter flying towards him that is double the size of the matter coming at him. Madness Steve closes the black holes and fires off countless beams, not bedrock beams, but beams made of pure energy, reality warping energy capable of destroying multiverses, all aiming at Discord. Discord manages to block the first wave of these beams from hitting him by creating an asteroid for each beam.

Then a second wave of these beams came, Discord manages to block them again with astroids, but barely. But then came a third wave of them. Discord tries to create several astroids for each of these beams, but they easily rips through them and directly hits Discord. Luckily for Discord, the injuries inflicted by these beams weren't too much as the astroids took the brunt of the power. However, a fourth wave of beams came Discord's way. He immediately teleports out of the way, avoiding certain destruction and annihilation. But Madness Steve teleports to where Discord had teleported to dodge the beams. He again tries to hit Discord with his sword, but misses as Discord again immediately moves out the way. Discord again backs away, maintaining the distance. If he has any chance of defeating Madness Steve, which those chances are growing more slim as the fight went on, he has to do it at distance. One hit with that sword, he is gone, no questions asked.

Madness Steve fires several things that looks like his left and right fists, all flying towards Discord. Discord does the same with his fists, creating several of his lion and eagle fists, all intending the block the volley of flying fists coming from Madness Steve. The flying fists collided, creating multiversal-sized supernova and nuclear explosions, matter spewing everywhere in the vacuum they are fighting in. They both began creating countless of these flying fists, each time they collided, they caused multiversal-sized supernovas and nuclear explosions. Madness Steve's flying fists then started pushing back Discord's flying fists. When Madness Steve fully pushed them back, he made the supernova and nuclear explosions the size of metaverses, blinding Discord for a few seconds. After Discord regains his vision from the flash of the metaverasal-sized supernovas and nuclear explosions, he seems Madness Steve charging towards him, again with his lava-looking sword.

"You know what!? You want to play with swords!? I can play at that game too!" Discord shouted at Madness Steve. He then creates a clone and turns the clone into a sword with the snap of his claws. The sharp part of the sword looking like his goat horn, the handle of the sword looking like his deer antlers, being held together by a yellow circle with a red dot in the middle on each side, the eyes of the clone he turned into a sword. Just to show off, Discord snapped his eagle claws and pirate clothing appeared on him, a pirate hat with a pony skull and crossed bones, a black eye patch over his left eye, his right hand becoming a golden hook, a brown coat and a ripped white shirt. Just as Madness Steve's sword was about to hit Discord, he blocks it with his sword, sending shockwaves capable of shaking apart the molecule structures on a multiversal scale as the swords clashed. Madness Steve and Discord started sword fighting. Each time their swords clashed, it created those multiverse-destroying shockwaves, warping or breaking apart all the matter around them that they created. Both tried to look for a perfect opportunity to strike, waiting for each other to make a mistake. Luckily for Discord, it was Madness Steve who made the first mistake, and he takes full advantage. Discord swings that sword against Madness Steve, hitting him on the left side of his head. Discord swings the sword again, this time hitting Madness Steve's right shoulder. However, Madness Steve just teleports out the way before taking more damage from the sword.

It began to look as if Madness Steve and Discord were evenly matched. Madness Steve had the raw power, only limited seemingly by his imagination as well as the power currently in his False Form, surpassing Discord in brute power alone. The hax between Madness Steve and Discord were on par with each other. Both of their hax managed to cancel each other out, rendering them useless. However, Discord had the advantage in speed. Discord is nigh-omnipresent. Madness Steve's False Form speed at the moment is immeasurable at best, which was what had kept Discord in the fight. However Discord began to ache all over his his body. Madness Steve's attacks are actually hurting and landing dents into Discord. The ache Discord could feel all over his body is slowly becoming unbearable, which Madness Steve sensed. Discord was only motivated to fight Madness Steve to protect Fluttershy. Discord snapped his claws and changed back into his original appearance, with his sword and pirate clothing instantly vanishing into nothing.

"As much as I despise you for almost taking away Fluttershy, I have to say... I'm impressed. It appears to appear that we're... evenly matched," Discord began speaking, feeling shaky all over. Never has he been face to face with an adversary with power that could go toe to toe with his.

"Like to... call this a draw... and go our separate ways?" Discord unnervingly asked, shaking slightly more. Discord even gulped.

"What's the matter? Exhausted?" Madness Steve responded in an antagonizing tone. Discord hesitated to answer. For a few moments, Discord looked into Madness Steve's red and orange eyes with his yellow and red eyes. Madness Steve did the same in return.

"No..." Discord eventually said.

"You're not exhausted? What about... scared?" Madness Steve responded in the same antagonizing tone, but with a faint chuckle at the end. Madness Steve could tell Discord was scared, despite Discord's pointless efforts in hiding it. Discord isn't just scared for everyone, he is also scared for himself.

"Please... w... whatever you do... don't... just don't hurt Fluttershy..." Discord begged, trying to change the topic. Discord then got on his knees, clenching his hands together tightly. Discord even shed a few tears, begging Madness Steve to not hurt Fluttershy.

"If you want Fluttershy to live, then fight on! Finish the fight you started! Show me that you truly care about her! Come on, defeat me! I'm waiting! Is this what the 'Lord of Chaos' is only capable of? If so, it's pathetic!" Madness Steve taunted Discord, antagonizing him more. Discord then felt all of his motivation to fight come all back to him. As Discord began starting to fight back again, he realizes something is wrong. He is unable move. The fight has helped Madness Steve's False Form grow in power, going up another stage.

Madness Steve began using some more of the power he now has in his False Form, the minimal amount of power needed to overwhelm Discord. Madness Steve then fires a beam, the reality warping energy beam capable of destroying several multiverses with a single blast. This beam Madness Steve fires came down and hit Discord from above. Madness Steve then does it again, hitting Discord again. Madness Steve repeats this several more times, hitting Discord each time, from hurting Discord to now seriously injuring him. Discord began to get weaker and weaker, but Madness Steve seemed to only get stronger and each time he uses his abilities.

"I'll admit, you did better than I expected. I was enjoying this, seeing you struggle, but in the end, it just got boring. But do you know what never gets boring? Torture!" Madness Steve laughed as he fired off more of these high-powered beams of energy at Discord, putting more power into the beams. With each strike of these beams, it not only made Discord weaker, it made him more injured.

"Stop!" Discord now begged, screaming in agony. But Madness Steve is finding torturing Discord satisfying. Madness Steve then instantly paralyses Discord by simply snapping his neck with some kind of kinetic force. Madness Steve then creates a cube around him and Discord. Madness Steve creates a portal on the ceiling and floor inside of the cube. Discord was now falling simultaneously from the ceiling and down to the floor, only to keep falling. While Discord was falling, Madness Steve created highly radioactive cubes in random places inside of the cube. These cubes are so radioactive, they could warp about atoms at minimum on a multiversal scale. Discord kept landing on these radioactive cubes with each time he fell from the ceiling, badly burning some of Discord's skin and flesh off each time he hit these radioactive cubes. Poor Discord couldn't even do anything, because he is paralysed. Even if he wasn't paralysed, it wouldn't of made much difference. Madness Steve then teleports outside the cube, just watching Discord falling and hitting the radioactive cubes. Madness Steve starts laughing in satisfaction while Discord is screaming in agony. Madness Steve starts summoning lightning in the cubes, just to test how much Discord is hurt. Even with regular lightning, he is hurting Discord further. Madness Steve summons more lightning, hearing Discord scream each time the lightning struck him. Madness Steve then teleports himself and a virtually roasted Discord to Ponyville, where the Town Hall is. Madness Steve then sets fire to the entirety of Ponyville, with many ponies trapped in their burning homes, ponies beginning to run around, scared, terrorized, panicking.


From the Time Dimension, everyone there saw Madness Steve had basically defeated Discord, leaving them dumbstruck in shock, especially the mane 6 and Starlight.

"He... he did not..." Rainbow Dash stuttered, absolutely dreading on what she thought she was seeing.

"He... he did," Applejack responded, stuttering as well.

"He just defeated Discord! That can't be possible! Madness Steve can't be this strong!" Twilight exclaimed.

"We need to do something!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Madness Steve will just annihilate us within a blink of an eye! If he can defeat Discord, he'll obliterate us-" Sabre was cut off by Twilight as her horn glowed purple and teleported the Elements of Harmony onto herself and the rest of the mane 6.

"This is now our only hope and we get just one shot at this. Sabre, Time Steve, Light Steve, Derpy, Starlight, I want you to distract Madness Steve. Us six will use the Elements of Harmony to try turn Madness Steve into stone. It is a long shot, but this will be our only shot into at least temporarily stopping him. If he notices us, it is over. We need the jump on Madness Steve if this is to work," Twilight explained before she teleports herself and the rest of the mane 6 behind Madness Steve and Discord while teleporting Sabre, Time Steve, Light Steve, Derpy and Starlight infront of Madness Steve and Discord.

Everyone is now in position. Derpy began trembling, looking at Madness Steve. She began walking backwards, shaking and trembling in fear. Madness Steve hears the steps and looks at Derpy. This alone makes her trip and fall over. Madness Steve starts flying towards Derpy faster and faster. The attention is being taken off of Discord, which is much needed. The mane 6 nodded to each other as they began to activate the Elements of Harmony.

"What do you want from me!?" Derpy screamed and cried, who went to curl into a ball and began covering her face with her wings.

"Torturing and hurting you appears to be fun," Madness Steve replied with a complete lack of empathy.

"You've already done that by murdering Dinky! You've taken the pony that mattered to me most! You're a monster!" Derpy screamed, but the sound was muffled as Derpy was curled into a ball.

"You provide me entertainment when I see you hurt. I want to torture you," Madness Steve said as he began to slowly approach Derpy, but Sabre gets infront of Derpy with the Shadow Sword.

"Stay away from Derpy! I won't let you hurt her!" Sabre shouted, summoning a few lightning bolts with the Shadow Sword against Madness Steve. Meanwhile, the mane 6 had already activated their elements, creating a blinding flash around them. Several rainbow-coloured beams came from the flash and headed straight towards Madness Steve. As soon as the rainbow trails hit Madness Steve, he slowly turned to stone, from his feet to his head. Madness Steve did have time to turn to face the mane 6 before he completely became stone.

"It... it worked..." Twilight slowly said, completely shocked that they seemingly managed to actually stop Madness Steve. Everyone is also shocked. Time Steve then summons lightning at Madness Steve, who is currently just stone.

"Just froze the state of this statue in time. It should be enough to hold him off," Said Time Steve.

"Derpy, it's safe," Said Sabre. Derpy slowly came out of the ball she curled into, noticing that Madness Steve was for the moment, a stone statue. Derpy wasted no time hugging Sabre.

"Thank you," Derpy repeated several times. Sabre nodded, then lets out a sigh as he moves Derpy's forehooves off of him, then walks to Madness Steve, who is currently just a stone statue.

"Well... that's dealt with. But what's next? I don't know, but, I must worry what's happening right now," Sabre said to himself as he turns to face everyone else.

Everyone then rushes to Discord, who was still in the floor, unable to move. They could barely look at Discord's brutally nasty injuries.
