Celestia gave him the rundown. Get discord and imprison him before he caused major damage. She gave him coordinates and sent him on his way.
Steven had been sent to the area where discord apparently was residing: fluttershy's house. He walked to the door and gave a forceful knock. The door slowly opened, allowing him to see his butter yellow companion. Steven walked in and raised his gun. "Where is discord" Steven growled, searching the room. "Ah, do you mean me" a manly voice from behind asked.
Steven spun around and discharged a bullet at discord. He dodged and the bullet ripped a hole through fluttershy's cottage wall. Steven shot at discord three more times with no avail before he lost sight of the draconeuus. Steven was hit from behind. He turned and gritted his teeth, then smacked discord with his guns stock. He put the barrel in front of discords long head. "You will taste lead, demonic scum" Steven roared before pulling the trigger. A light pop noise was heard. Instead of bullets and blood, only confetti and a contempt discord.
Discord lunged forward and thrusted a blade into Stevens stomach. He then gave him a right hook to the jaw. Steven fell down and roared in frustration. He grabbed the gun and shot at the blurry figure. Even with Steven being disoriented the bullet tore through discords shoulder. The draconeuus screamed and dissolved into a smoke leaving behind only thick crimson blood.
Steven found fluttershy cowering under a couch in another room. Steven looked at her. "Assemble the elements, we have a mission. Meet me at the castle." Steven ordered before stomping off.
Steven arrived at the castle rather quickly, forcefully moving and getting anything living or not out of his path. He arrived into the throne room during a court session. The fact an ape with weapon, with a knife in his chest and blood covering him bursting in to a place scares herbivorous equines. The fact he was 6'2 and they were only around 3' or 3'8 at the largest also was a factor.
"celetia, I had found discord. In combat he wounded me and I him. He escaped however, and I need to know what to do now" the princess gave him a concerned look. "Head to the dragon kingdom. Get spike, twilights assistant and he will lead you to the dragon elders. We cannot allow discord to influence a war between dragons, ponies and a human"
Steven sprinted towards the castle. His elemental armor allowed increased speed and stamina, giving him the ability to sprint 25 mph for nearly hours at a time. He found the six ponies walking towards canterlot, the place he was leaving. "What the hay is going on!" rainbow cried. "Head to the castle, celestia will inform you. I am borrowing spike as well." Twilight gave a nod. He continued his sprint to the castle.
"Spike the dragon, where are you!?" Steven boomed, bursting through the castle doors. The purple and green dragon slowly approached him. "I assume you are spike, come with me, we are heading to the dragon kingdom." Steven picked up the 2 ½ foot tall dragon and turned into his ifrit form, giving him his wings. He took off into the sky.
"So, what should I expect from these dragons. How big are they?" spike responded in a young sounding voice, obviously juvenile. "Most dragons are aggressive and 10 times the size of a manticore. They are 10 times as fierce too" Steven would be facing something of a challenge then. He made out a blue lizard creature in the distance. "We're here"
Steven returned to his human form once they landed. He and spike walked among the large reptiles until he found 2 larger dragons with more scars and deadlier armor. "Excuse me, where are the elders?" the dragon on the left jabbed his thumb over to the door behind the two. "To whom is asking exactly?" the dragon spoke in a voice sounding like Satan with a sore throat. "The princesses of equestria" the two dragons gave a deep hearty chuckle. "Come in, horse ape"
In the room there were 10 dragons. All were different in every way, except for long beards in a napoleon style under their chin. "What do you come for, ape" a black winged dragon spoke. "I come to speak of the traitor known as discord" a laugh came from the dragons, along with a familiar laugh behind them. Discord walked out with bandages over his shoulder. "Fuck"
"Hello Steven, it Is I. Discord, the leader of the elder dragon temple." Discord had an evil grin from ear to ear. "Discord, I came to reinforce the alliance between the dragons and ponies. I assume you changed the opinion of them?" one of the dragons, the largest approached. "The peace and alliance is no more. Our kind will burn your homes and rip your flesh from your bones" the dragons began to circle them. Spike was pulled back by the shortest and quickest of the dragons. "You will be spared little one. He will not" Steven watched as they surrounded him, and discord leave.
The first dragon, a green earth dragon with bull like horns on his head charged him. Steven turned to his molten form and punched the dragon's nose. The dragon screamed in pain as its nose and the bones around it snapped. Steven rushed at it and punched at its jugular vein. His fist broke through the dragons 3'' outer scale layer and pierced his throat. The dragon roared and thrashed as its flesh burned from Stevens fire form. Beyond the scales dragons are not immune to extreme temperatures, and a flaming 1500 degree Celsius (2700 degree Fahrenheit) fist fit the job. The dragons purple blood began to emerge and the dragon fell.
Stevens momentary victory was stopped as 1 foot of claw pierced his ribs. He was lifted up by the laughing black dragon. "Fool, you will be slain for what you have done" Steven kicked the dragon with his legs on opposite sides. The kick snapped its arm, breaking the bone. "Rrrraaaaah!" the dragon roared, grabbing the useless limb. Steven touched his elemental armor. "Taste lead bitch!" the armor did as it was made to do, shoot 50 caliber bullets. Each shot put a hole into it, leaking his purple blood. After 15 shots the largest dragon was dead. The other reptilian comrades left the room, leaving a fire human and two dead dragons. "Shit, this is bad"
Steven flew off towards the castle. He couldn't find spike but he couldn't look either. Steven found the dragons heading towards ponyville and canterlot. Hundreds of the large reptiles flew and walked towards the city. Steven dived bombed from the air at the largest dragon he saw. The overgrown lizard fell and bumped into another dragon. The two dragons and human fell out of the air towards a mountain.
Steven slowly stood up from the rubble. He saw two dead dragons. One was impaled on a long thin rock through the chest, the other crushed under a rock. Steven luckily landed on a flatter space. "Two down, a shitload more to go"
Steven never ran so fast in his life. He sprinted at above 40 miles per hour. He found the castle and town intact, no large murder lizards in sight. "How did I arrive first, I was out probably around 20 minutes." He continued his run towards the castle
The castle and everyone in it was still there, even blueblood. He never thought a day where bluebloods existence was enjoyable. He approached a guard who seemed fine. "Guard where the princesses are" the guard pointed to the cafeteria. "In there. They will be pretty noticeable sir."
The cafeteria was busy but the princesses towered over the average pony, so they were fairly noticeable indeed. "Luna, Celestia I need to talk to you, now" the two exchanged worried looks and followed him. "What is it Steven, what did the dragons say?" celestia asked. "Did any dragons come anywhere within a 10 mile radius?!" Steven asked quite loudly. Luna was impressed. Celestia shook her head signaling a no. "Shit, god fucking damn. Listen, discord is part of the elder dragons. They sent a squad of hundreds towards here. Get the guards ready, I want everyone and anyone here now."
Every pony, guard or not was at canterlot. A total of 4253 guards were at the castle, ready to defend. He had assigned Trixie to get the group that took over canterlot as well as vinyl and Octavia, and the mane six.
"The fuck is going on Steven, why is every guard here?!"Midnight arrow shouted. Steven looked at him sadly. "The dragons are coming. From what I assume we outnumber the dragons 15 to 1, but a dragon is much larger and stronger than a pony. Many will die on both sides. I called you here to give you help so you aren't one of the casualty's. Fluttershy looked horrified as well as most of the mane six. "Fluttershy do you have angel with you?" angel hopped out from her mane with camo war paint on his face. "Good, angel get in the F.Y.S mech, you know what to do. Angel gave a salute and ran off.
Discord was eventually spotted 9 miles off. "Sir!" a guard shouted. Steven looked through a pair of binoculars. Discord snapped his fingers and all the dragons became visible. 287 were counted in total. But it wasn't just discord and a dragon army, there were hundreds of changelings and around 360 griffons. Steven looked horrified.
The princesses and six elements approached him. "what do you want to do princess, the ratio is 4 to 1 now, with an estimated 3000 casualty's at the minimum." Twilight walked up to Steven. "Steven, we are going to give you our energy" Steven was confused. "Why?" twilight gave him a look of sheer sadness. "Steven, we both know what this battle will do. It will be costly, but you can help save equestria" Steven nodded. "Understood" the six released large quantities of magic throughout Stevens's body. He felt power, but he knew what must be done
"I knew I would change this world, and that time is now"
