A New kind of Chaos
The Mistake
"I'm sorry Discord. I don't know how to fix it." Diamond said, still floating in the air with her wings. Both Diamond and Discord were beside the castle, staring at a mountain. Because of Diamond's chaotic magic, she turned the mountain into a cube.
"You don't know how to fix it. How could you not know how to fix it? You caused it!" Discord shouted. "You can't keep a mountain like this!"
"But you made the spell look so easy. Why can't you fix it?" Diamond shouted back.
"Because you need to learn to reverse your chaotic magic." Discord said, trying to calm himself down. "How are you going to learn if you don't try?"
"Because I don't know how to reverse it!" Diamond said.
"Fine!" Discord shouted, his temper returning. He snapped his fingers and turned the mountain back into its original cone like form. He then turned to Diamond. "I'll see you at dinner tonight."
"But it's only one o'clock." Diamond said.
"Whatever. You can go hang out with Rainbow Dash or Rarity or whoever. I'll be in my room." Discord said, starting to walk toward the castle.
"What if I need you for something?" Diamond asked, now having a worried look on her face.
"Then you can come find me." Discord said, as he teleported to the door of his room, leaving Diamond to stand beside the mountain.
"I guess I could see if Applejack needs help bucking apples." Diamond said to herself, as she expanded her wings and took to the sky, heading for Sweet Apple Acres.
Discord opened his door to reveal his room. The walls were black and the floor was white and blue tile. His dresser was a mess of all the costumes and clothes he made with his magic. All his outfits were scattered all over his room, on the floor, on the bed and all over the dresser. The window was tiny, not letting much light in, but shone light onto a picture Discord had recently put up. The picture of Diamond.
Discord flopped onto his bed, letting out a sigh. "What am I supposed to do? We've been training for 3 weeks, and there is no progress. What can I do?" He mumbled to himself, as he rubbed his eyes. "Why can't I just enjoy the fact that I have a wonderful, chaotic marefriend." He finished as he sat up.
Discord squinted his eyes to see that a bright blue light was appearing in the corner of his room. The light appeared to be Princess Luna. "Discord," Luna spoke up. "You need to finish Diamond's training."
"I've been trying to," Discord shouted, as he threw his arms in the air in frustration. "Nothing is working. And I've tried everything! Nothing works!"
"Well, you have to try harder. I don't know how long I can keep this secret from my sister. And I don't know how much longer I can stay in your room. It smells like something died in here." Luna said, waving her hoof in front of her muzzle.
"I've been trying as hard as I can. I don't know what else to do." Discord said, as he fell onto his bed again.
"I think I might have an easy solution." Luna said, as her horn went aglow. After a bright blue light, an ancient looking book appeared before Luna. She used her magic to levitate and open the book. "I found a spell last night that will help you with your problem."
"Alright, but what does it do?" Discord asked, as he leaned closer to see what was on the pages of the book.
"I know that this might seem cruel, but this spell can take away her chaotic magic." Luna said, trying to look Discord in the eye to show how serious she was.
"Take away her chaotic magic? Are you crazy?" Discord shouted, rolling his hands into fists.
"It's not so bad, Discord. She will still have her normal alicorn magic, she'll still be able to fly, and she's still love you and your chaos. Although I don't see why she loves you." Luna explained.
"Yeah, I guess it is not so bad, but how do we cast this spell?" Discord asked, now having calmed himself down.
"Well, we can cast the spell when she is asleep. But to do so, we will need the help of two other alicorns." Luna said.
"But doesn't my magic count as alicorn magic?" Discord asked. "And how will we use two other alicorn's magic without Celestia knowing."
"I can talk to Cadence and Twilight and ask them to help us. And your magic will be used to absorb the chaotic magic from Diamond. So, you'll have extra chaotic magic. Maybe this was a bad idea." Luna said, now having a worried look on her face.
"No, this can work." Discord said, holding his head in his lion paw, stroking his beard with his eagle talons. "This can work. But when can we cast the spell?"
"Maybe tomorrow at midnight." Luna said. "She'll be asleep and I'll be wide awake."
"What about Cadence and Twilight? They are day time ponies." Discord explained.
"I can ask them to go for a nap during the day so they can still be awake during midnight, so the spell will work." Luna said.
"Alright, should I tell Diamond?" Discord asked.
"No, it's best if she doesn't find out." Luna said.
"But she'll figure out eventually that she can't use her chaotic magic. What will I do then?" Discord asked, starting to get a worried look on his face.
"You'll tell her when the time comes. Tell her it was for the best." Luna explained. "Something Celestia would have told me." Luna mumbled.
"What was that?" Discord asked.
"Oh, uh, nothing." Luna said.
"Okay. So, you'll get Cadence and Twilight to come here at midnight tomorrow and I'll not tell Diamond what we are planning." Discord said.
"Fine then, I have to get back to Canterlot." Luna said, as she stepped back, holding the book in her folded wing, and glowed her horn to teleport herself away.
Discord sat back down on his bed, lied down, and began to think about the plan. "I'm only doing this to help you, Diamond." He thought, before he snapped his talons to make a fresh plate of fruit appear on the dining room table for Diamond. On the plate, he left a note for her to read. Having everything ready for the plan, he pulled his blue and green blanket over himself as he curled up and went to sleep.
