“CAN’T THIS HUNK OF JUNK GO ANY FASTER!?” Max said as he angrily slammed his fist down on the counsel of the large cargo plane that he was aboard.
“Hey! You called me out of the blue, with VERY short notice I remind you, suddenly demanding a plane ride to Colorado. What do you think I keep, I supply of Nighthawks on reserve?” The pilot snorted, annoyed with Max’s behavior.
Max undid his seatbelt and stood up to walk around the large area behind the seats, “Whatever, I just need to get there as fast as I can.” He grumbled.
The pilot looked at the console and gauges “We will be there in about 30 mins.” He said as he turned on the autopilot. “So, now that we have a moment, could you please tell me what your cockameiny reasoning for all this is, and why you needed to smuggle in those weapons?” He pointed to Max’s bag that lay against the wall that was loaded with several guns and ammo clips.
Max turned to look at him, his expression was cold and emotionless. “My friends went missing, I am trying to find them. They have been gone for too long and i went crazy trying to track them down. Just yesterday, I got an email from someone who somehow knows what's going on, and where they are.”
“You have, friends? When did you get those? You are an ex-merc, you never had any friends before, so why now?”
Max gave a deep growl and narrowed his eyes “If I didn't need you I would have shot you right now, ya know?”
The pilot seemed unphased by that, he sighed and just shook his head, “Okay okay. It’s your life, I will not pry anymore.”
“Good, see that you don’t.” Max sighed and shook his head. “Anyway, the email was corrupted, so I spent the entire night in front of the computer trying to restore it. Someone named Discord is responsible for everyone's disappearance. It also mentioned they were turned into...ponies.”
“Ponies? So they became, horses?” The pilot stroked his chin in confusion.
“I tried to understand the connection with ponies and Discord and everything came back to, a Tv show named: My little Pony: Friendship is magic.”
As expected, the pilot just stared at max like he was insane, and had two heads. “You...can’t...be...Serious?”
Max just ignored him and continued “There’s more, the email also mentioned that our world is gonna be destroyed. During my search I have seen multiple issues of insane, and unseasonal weather patterns. Earthquakes are breaking throughout the world. Something is shaking this world like a snowglobe, and I think this Discord is at the center of it too.”
“Okay so, um...I think we are...here.” Through the window the two of them could slightly make out the small building that was the hotel. “We will be landing in 15 mins. I will go ahead and radio in permission for landing.”He slowly moved his hands towards the radio, not taking his eyes off max. Max was staring out the window, not really listening to what he was saying.
“The Stanley Hotel.” Max said as he moved to the front window “You sure this is the correct coordinates?”
“Um yes, We are just about to pass over it, and head to the airport.”
“How high are we?” Max pondered
The Pilot seemed confused for a moment but answered the question. “About 12,000 feet. Sit back and take a load off, we will be on the ground soon.”
Max merely smirked, “No need.” he said quietly but still audible.
“Um, I beg your pardon?“ The pilot said, confused.
“I said...NO NEED!” He reached into his pocket and flung some cash at him. “Call it a tip!” Max ran over, grabbed his bag then went for a parachute.
The pilot was stunned at Max's sudden action and tried to bat the money away “HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” He said and tried to undo his seatbelt.
“THANKS FOR THE RIDE!” He ran to the hatch, opened the door and jumped out of the plane.
“MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXX!” He cried as Max started to plummet to the ground, the air blowing wildly inside the cabin. “IDIOT!” He said and tried to stabilize the plane with the new distraction.
Max went free falling into the sky. He plummeted head first with his arms at his side. the wind rustling his hair and coat wildly as he fell towards the ground.
<Haven't done this in a while.> Max thought as a smirk formed on his face. <Feels great, I should take everyone skydiving once we reunite.> He tried to chuckled as he was losing altitude quite quickly, <Here we...GO!> Max pulled the ripcord on the chute as it rapidly unfurled behind him. The chute caught the air and expanded out. slowing down Max's descent as he aimed for the parking lot of the hotel.
“Touchdown.” Max said as he easally landed in the parking lot and the chute fell behind him. Max unbuckled the strap and just left the chute there in the parking lot. He shot a look at the hotel, and a sign caught his eye.
“Closed for renovations." Perfect, last thing I want is for civilians to get in my way. It also means I don’t need to hold back or worry about any stray bullet hitting someone.”
Max started to walk to the front doors, and with no hesitation he kicked them open. Inside max would catch sight of several construction workers, “Ug, great, this is the last thing I need." He sighed and shook his head.
One of the workers walked over and approached Max “Um sir? The hotel is closed. Pedestrians are not allowed to be in here while we are renovating. We will have to ask you to please leave.”
Max did not budge from where he stood. “Leave.” he commanded as he stared at the worker, right in the eyes.
“Excuse me?” The worker said and snorted annoyed with his behavior. “Sir, I am going to POLITELY ask you again to please leave, or we are going to remove you by force and call the cops." He folded his arms and tried to take on a menacing pose.
“Leave...PLEASE!” Max said as his tone got more threatening.
The foreman had enough of Max’s behavior and was streaming at the ears. “Okay, I had enough of you you son of a...GAA!” the foreman was cut off as Max punched him square in the gut, hard enough to bring him to his knees, The other workers stared in shock at what had happened to their boss.
“All of you, take your boss and get out of my sight. I have business here, and it will be better if all of you were gone.” The other workers looked around nervously, but did not budge. Max gritted his teeth in annoyance and took out his handgun, firing at the ceiling “I SAID GET OUT!”
That was enough for all of them to leave, 2 of the other workers grabbed their fallen boss and hurried towards the door, leaving max alone in the hotel.
“Idiots, made me waste a perfectly good bullet.” He spat and holstered his handgun. “Now to find this “informant” who contacted me.”
Max slowly started to walk along the corridors of the hotel. The only sound being emitted was his feet as they softly crushed the carpet. “HELLO!?” He called out and tried to listen “HELLO!? I GOT YOUR EMAIL! YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!” He listened again for any response. Giving an annoyed sigh, he shook his head. “Was this whole thing a stupid goose chase?” He spat on the ground, trying to think what to do next.
Max’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he heard a honking coming from behind him. “What the heck was that!?” He turned to look over and saw a goose further down the hall. “You gotta be kidding me...” He said displeased as the goose started to honk wildly, annoying max. “SHUT UP!” He growled at it. The goose did not listen and it sounded like it’s honking was getting even louder. “Don’t make me waste another good bullet!” He pointed his gun at it. The goose saw it and ran off, though it continued it's loud honking. “COME BACK HERE!” He snarled and chased after the bird.
“An actual freaking goose chase, I don't believe this crap.” Max groaned as he rounded the corner. He stopped as he saw something down at the other end. His eyes would spot two small, identical, twin girls. The both had the same curly brown hair and wore the same blue dress.
“Come play with us max.” they said in a monotone unison. “Come play with us...forever and ever.”
He took his gun out and pointed it at the two, not caring they were small children “WHO ARE YOU!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? ALSO, HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?” The two girls seemed unphased by the firearm being pointed at them.
“We can play together forever max. We can play with the ponies in Equestria forever. Your friends are waiting Max” They spoke again. Max’s hand was shaking as he heard that. Annoyed with their actions he shot the area above them, hoping to scare them away. They did not blink, move, or react to the loud gunfire. “Come play with us Max.” They said again, then suddenly faded from view. An item fell to the ground out of nowhere and landed where they stood. Max slowly walked over and picked it up. It seemed to be a key to one of the rooms, the number “237” was on the back of the key. The key was attached to a blank looking, pony shaped keychain.
“Just what is going on in here?” He said as he kept staring at the key, and the equine shaped keychain. It was solid white with no markings. “This is, INSANE.” He snorted and pocketed the key. ”I don't know who is controlling this sick game, but I have no choice to go along...for now.”
Max made his way back to the main hall and pressed the button for the elevator. It hummed to life as it lowered to his floor “Glad this still works...” He muttered. The elevator gave a small ding as it reached his floor. The doors opened and before he could walk in he was met with a wave of rainbow colored water. “WHAT THE...!?” He was cut off as the wave washed over him, and knocked him back on his butt.
“...Heck” Max spat out the water that got in his mouth. ”Whoever did this is going to pay. If there is one thing I hate more than a friend stealing SOB, it's a friend stealing SOB, with a sick sense of humor.” He growled and got up, his clothing was still dripping with rainbow water. Against better judgment he got into the elevator and pushed the second button. The doors closed and rose up to the second floor.
The elevator dinged again and the doors opened as it reached the designated floor. “Almost too easy.” Max mumbled as he stepped out of the elevator. The moment he entered the hall his clothing became bone dry. He looked confused and felt the dry fabric. “This is way too weird.” He snorted and just walked off down the hall. He kept a brisk pace as he got to room 237.
“This is it...finally, I hope I get the answers I seek.” he said as his hand, shaking with anticipation, reached into his pocked and pulled out the key. He inserted it into the lock, and hear a loud click as he turned the key and opened it. The door slowly opened up on it's own. Max jumped back and brought his handgun to a ready possession. As he stood outside, he would hear something, a conversation. It was a bit too low to hear where he was, but he also heard music, and singing too.
With his gun at the ready max slowly entered through the door. He slowly moved forward, taking it step by step. The audio becoming more clear as he got closer. “Winter wrap up! Winter wrap up!” He heard being sung. Max quickly moved into the room and looked around. He spotted no one else in the room. However, the TV was on and max would see it was playing an episode of “My Little Pony.” He stared at the TV as the winter wrap up song finished playing.
“I always did like that song.” Came an unknown voice from behind max. He jumped in shock and turned around, pointing his gun at the person.
“WHO ARE YOU!?” He shouted angrily. The gun pointing right at his head.
The man scoffed and chuckled “Do you mind, I am trying to watch the show.” He sighed a bit as he stared at the TV. A small tear slowly trickled down the side of his face. “Soon...all will be right again.” He said in a small whisper.
Max snarled and shot the TV, “SHOW’S OVER!” he said as silence filled the room. The man did not budge or flinch from Max's sudden actions. He eventually sighed.
“Oh now, was that really necessary? I have the remote right here.” He said as he held it up. Max continued his glare at him.
“Where you the one who sent me the email?” He demanded “Do you know where my friends are?”
He Smirked hearing that second question. “Maybe I do, maybe I don’t. I am a very busy person you know, I have a hectic work schedule, quotas to meet. Things can become quite chaotic.” He chuckled, “As for your friends in general, you might have to deliver some more details, I have seen so many people in my lifetime, things just blur together.” He chuckled and got up. “Are you thirsty?”
“I did not say you can move.” His finger slowly squeezed around the trigger.
“Really? you are REALLY going to shoot at an unarmed man, who is offering some hospitality?” He shook his head, ignoring max’s demand, and move to the fridge. Max's brow furrowed as he move the gun and shot the wall in front of him, making him stop dead in his tracks. “You really ARE going to shoot me!” He gasped.
“Consider that a warning shot.” He spat. “Next time I aim for the leg, or the arm. Now then SIT DOWN!” He demanded and pointed to the chair. “Answer honestly and you will be walking away, and I mean actually walking away. Tell any lies and you will be in a wheelchair, or if you are lucky, just crutches.
The man merely shrugged and sat back down, giving an annoyed sigh, he crossed his arms and legs. “So then, Shall I call you Batman or Jack Bauer?” he scuffed.
“Max, just Max.” He stated and started to move around the room, his gun always pointed on the man “Now then, who are you?”
“Well then please allow me to introduce myself I am a man of wealth and taste.” He chuckled.
“I am not going to be giving you any sympathy.” Max snorted “NAME! NOW!” He demanded.
“Wow tough crowd.” He sighed “Okay, you want my name?” He smirked “Okay, it’s…” He paused for a while, a smile plastered on his face as he stared down max's demanding look”...Discord.”
Max froze and gasped in horror hearing that name. “YOU!” He growled and before Max could squeeze the trigger, Discord moved faster than max could blink, grabbed his gun, crushed it and tossed it aside.
“Yes me.” He chuckled, “Granted it’s not really noticeable in this human form, but well it's easier to move around.” He smirked. “I like chaos but it’s so hard to get work done when everyone is screaming and running away from you.”
Max looked angrily as his disarmed hand and jumped back “I really liked that gun you know.”
“Oh really? Did you have a cute name for it?” Discord said teasingly “Mike? Betsy? Ashley?”
Max just growled and reached into his bag and pulled out a pair of smaller handguns.”I always have back ups, now then tell me what you did to my friends?”
“Again, you are going to have to refresh my memories, I have no idea who you are talking about, I have a rather large folder.” He reached behind him and took out a large binder stuffed with papers. “Here...CATCH!” He said and tosses the folder at max. It burst open and papers went flying out everywhere, obscuring max view.
“Damn it!” He snarled and started to fire both handguns rapidly at the place where Discord was. “FACE ME COWARD!”
“Face you?” Discords voice seemed to be coming from everywhere. Suddenly, his draconequus face appeared on each piece of paper that was still flying around and blew a raspberry at him. “Is this enough face for you?” They all said, and then laughed.
“NOT AMUSED!” He shouted and fired all around, hitting pieces of paper. He fired away until the guns clicked empty.The papers settled and fell to the ground, leaving Max alone in the chaos. “Where did you go?” He sighed as he went into his back and pulled out an AK-47. he loaded in an clip of ammo and cocked it ready.
Discord's laughter rang out in the room. “Impressive shots good sir, I think you got everyone right between the eyes.”
“Let's just end this now, I want my FRIENDS BACK! GIVE THEM TO ME!” He looked around to try and find the source of the voice.
“Oh no worries, I will definitely take you to your friends, quite soon.” Max spun around and saw Discord standing in his true form behind him. “But it IS a rough trip, and you must be on at least 4 hoofs, and have a mark on your butt to gain entry. No worries though, I can help you help you with those problems. Just a small warning, it might...tingle a bit as your body structure shifts, crunches, and squelches.” He laughed.
“YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE ME!” He screamed and opened fire. Bullets sprayed everywhere as discord merely stood there; yawning as they seemed to be having no effect. Max stopped firing as he tried to see if he caused any damage.
“HA! You missed.” Discord teased and took out a glass of chocolate milk. “Excuse me, I am a tiny bit thirsty.” He drank it down, and for a tiny glass, he seems to be drinking a lot. As Discord drank, small streams of milk started to leak out of his body. Discord looked down and gave a rather fake gasp. “I stand correct partner, ya GOT me.” he said and suddenly fell to the ground, landed on his back and was holding an orchid in both “hands.”
Max slowly took a step forward as he looked at the “dead” Discord. “I know you are not dead.” he said and fired at the orchid, destroying the flower.
Discord sighed as he layed there “Wow, you really are a killjoy. What’s a matter Maxie? Rough childhood? Too scared to laugh and enjoy life? Oh, and watch out behind you, I am already there.” He chuckled.
“You really think I am going to fall for something so juvenile?” Max said unamused as he kept glaring down at him. Discord shrugged as max would suddenly feel something on his shoulder. Max looked down and gasped as he saw Discord’s lion paw. Then he looked up and saw Discord towering above him, smiling.
“Told ya.” he puched max right in the gut, stunning him and forcing him to his knees. Discord tapped the gun and it burst into various flowers. “I do suppose it’s time to end this silly game." He said as he bent down, grabbed Max’s chin and looked right into his eyes “So then, I really want to know, Who are you?” He chuckled as Discord looked deep into Max's eyes. “Come on, no need to be shy now, I am here to help you.” He kept smirking as was looking. His smile slowly started to fade away as confusion slowly started to take over. “Wait..I don’t understand where is it!?”
Max took advantage of Discord's confusion and was able to break away “What the heck are you even talking about!?” He snarled, and reached into his coat.
“Impossibile! you don't have a soul! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE ONE!? Everyone I have come across had one just begging for me to help and set them free, but you are empty!”
“Well lucky me.” He coughed a bit and slowly rose to his feet. “I got one more trick up my sleeve for you.” Now it was max’s turn to smirk as Discord would see him pulling out another gun.
“Oh please, take a hint, those silly toys have no effect on me, other than wasting perfectly good milk.” He blew a raspberry.
“Smith & Wesson 500 Double Action Magnum Revolver. My ace in the hole, and preferred weapon for dealing with annoying pests. This thing can kill an elephant in one shot, so let’s see what it can do to you.”
“Oh really? Any of those flying and pink? Because my friend I think you, might be hallucinating, from denial. That or I might have hit you a BIT too hard.” He laughed.
Max pointed the gun at Discord and tried to brace himself for the kickback. “Your overconfidence is your weakness.”
“And your faith in your friends is yours.” Discord’s laughter rang loudly in the room. Max, overloaded with rage, grit his teeth, narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
BANG!
Max’s whole body jerked from the recoil, yet he still stood his ground. Discord stopped laughing as silence filled the room. Discord’s mouth was frozen in an expression of horror. Max would be smirking victoriously.
Discord's body slowly started to shake, a whimpering came from his throat. Unable to hold it back, he gave a loud, ear piercing scream of pain. “MY ARM! MY ARM YOU BLEW OFF MY ARM!” He screamed as pain overtook him.
“Looks like it DOES have some effect on you after all.” Max looked down at the lion arm that was blown off and lay on the floor.”Now, if you don’t want me to blast off the other arm, you better start giving me some straight answers.” He said and readies the magnum again.
“No, pain...no, pain...no, no, pain, pain, painpainpain!” Discord shouted rapidly as his mind was bombarded with the unknown sensation. Discord gave a loud draconic roar as his eyes went solid red with anger. “YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!” He snarled and lunge quickly at Max, crashing into his chest and knocking him back.
Max gagged in pain as he was knocked back, the gun flying out of his hands. “Damn.” He groaned as he tried to get to his feet. He looked back and saw Discord going into a blind rage, destroying everything in the room. “I should get going.” He coughed a bit and tried to get away.
Discord looked over as he heard the door open and caught Max escaping. He gave another roar as he gave chase, smashing the door to splinters.
“OH CRAP!” He cried as he looked back and saw Discord slithering in the air, slashing the walls with his remaining arm, and smashing stuff with his tail. “I think I'll take the stairs.” He panted as his breathing was slightly limited form taking two heavy blows. Max gave a small gasp as he felt Discord's breath on the back of his neck. The draconequus looming right over top of him and ready to grab him. Max gasped a bit but saw the hallway turn ahead. “Hope this works." He whispered and threw himself around the corner. Discord, being unable to stop in time would crash right into the wall “Works every time.” He panted as he got up from the ground and ran to the stairs.
“I have no Idea how I am going to get out of this...” Max panted as he made his way down the stairs, and into the main lobby. “Maybe I can hide someplace and get out here in one piece.” Max said as he made his way to the doors. His victory was cut off as Discord came crashing through the ceiling and went right for Max. His eyes still solid red as max was face to face with him. Max took several steps backwards as he kept his gaze on the ravage beast. Discord quickly twisted his body around and whipped max with his heavy tail.
Max screamed in pain as he was hit to the ground once more. A crack hit his ears as he held his chest in pain. “Oh god, be broke a rib.” He clenched his teeth to hold back the scream, not wanting to give Discord any satisfaction of him being in pain.
Discord landed next to the fallen human and stared down at him. He kicked max over so that he would be laying on his back. Discord stared him down, not saying a word. Slowly he raised his cloven goat hoof and slammed it down, right on Max’s knee.
Max could not hold this one back as he screamed loudly in pain. A small smirk formed on Discord's face as he seemed pleased with the pain he caused.
“I hope you burn in HELL!” Max got out in between cries of pain and wincing, Discord never responded, his blank, red eyes still fixed on max. “Aw look at that, the creature of chaos who love to shoot his mouth off, has had his tongue stolen by the cat. After the cat arm got shot off.” Max gave some hysterical laughter.
“Hell? you want hell?” Discord finally spoke in a low, growling voice. “I will give you the worst type of hell ever.” His eyes darted around the room for a bit then his eyes caught sight of a sign. “Infact, I will send you to your friends, but they will never recognize you, and you will never recognize them. You will be their eternal enemy, forever fighting, never being by their side again, never being happy.”
“Just what the heck are you blabbering about this time? I liked it better when you were SILENT!” Max shouted, but then regretted doing that as his chest pain flared up. Discord pointed behind Max, and curiously he actually looked over to what he meant. “Chrysalis at the stanley hotel?” he said confused as he read the name of the gift shop.
“Yes, Queen Chrysalis! Once I change your body and your mind, you will do nothing but cause trouble for your friends, whoever they may be. Though once I find the real queen you might be demoted to nameless changeling,”
“But you said I never had a soul!” Max cried out.
“I’ll just improvise, like I said once you are a hive mined drone, one more won't make a difference. Hold tight your majesty, here comes YOUR CROWN!” Discord said and used his eagle claw to grasp Max’s head; His nails sinking in slightly, but not enough to draw blood. Max screamed again as he felt energy flowing into his head. His hair started to grow longer and slowly started to turn a shining blue. Max's skull would start to feel like it would be splitting open as a bulge stated to form on his head “The king is dead, long live the queen.” Discord said teasingly as he stared at the changing human.
“NOOOOOOO NOT THIS TIME!” A female voice came out of nowhere. Discord led go of the changing max and looked around nervously. “DISCORD! YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS TIME!”
Discord let go of Max and looked around. The skin on Max’s face was starting to harden and slowly turn black. “WHO’S THERE!? ARE YOU WITH THIS QUEEN!?” He said and looked around to try and find the source of the voice. “SHOW YOURSELF!”
“With pleasure!” She said again and suddenly an orb of light flew in between the two of them. “Say cheese, here come the flash!” The orb suddenly emitted a white, blinding light that engulfed the area. Discord covered his eyes and looked away. When the light faded away, and Discord could see once again, he would be alone; Max and the orb would be gone.
“CURSES!” He snarled and stomped his hoof, causing a huge crater in the ground “Just who was that, and how did she know me?”
Max would be laying down, semi concious. “Wake up, please wake up.” Max would hear the feminine voice say once again. ”Please, you must wake up." Max's eyes would open and as his vision would slowly return, he would see he was in an unknown location. It would appear he would be in some sort of alternate dimension. The placed seemed to be one large rainbow colored tunnel. “Thanks goodness you have awaken.”
Max slowly sat up and felt his head. He gave a gaspe as he realized that the changes Discord tried to do were reversed. Not only that, but all of his wounds were healed. Max jumped up to his feet and realized he was free from any pain that Discord has caused. “Just what is going on!?” He said as he looked around. "Also, where am I!?”
“Please allow me to explain.” max looked behind him and saw the ball of light once again. The ball would become bright again, but not as bright as before. Max raised a hand to try to block some of the light, so he could see his savior. max would see the shadow of a 4 legged equine, with two large wings and a horn on her head.
“My name is Princess Celestia, and we have a lot to talk about.”
TO
BE
CONTINUED!
I'm BACK! sorry for the minor delay folks, but I am back and writting again!
this is a big one, so I kinda had to break it up inot parts. Next one is comming soon, and I promis it will be done in less then 2 months ^^;
MLP is properity of Hasbro
“Hey! You called me out of the blue, with VERY short notice I remind you, suddenly demanding a plane ride to Colorado. What do you think I keep, I supply of Nighthawks on reserve?” The pilot snorted, annoyed with Max’s behavior.
Max undid his seatbelt and stood up to walk around the large area behind the seats, “Whatever, I just need to get there as fast as I can.” He grumbled.
The pilot looked at the console and gauges “We will be there in about 30 mins.” He said as he turned on the autopilot. “So, now that we have a moment, could you please tell me what your cockameiny reasoning for all this is, and why you needed to smuggle in those weapons?” He pointed to Max’s bag that lay against the wall that was loaded with several guns and ammo clips.
Max turned to look at him, his expression was cold and emotionless. “My friends went missing, I am trying to find them. They have been gone for too long and i went crazy trying to track them down. Just yesterday, I got an email from someone who somehow knows what's going on, and where they are.”
“You have, friends? When did you get those? You are an ex-merc, you never had any friends before, so why now?”
Max gave a deep growl and narrowed his eyes “If I didn't need you I would have shot you right now, ya know?”
The pilot seemed unphased by that, he sighed and just shook his head, “Okay okay. It’s your life, I will not pry anymore.”
“Good, see that you don’t.” Max sighed and shook his head. “Anyway, the email was corrupted, so I spent the entire night in front of the computer trying to restore it. Someone named Discord is responsible for everyone's disappearance. It also mentioned they were turned into...ponies.”
“Ponies? So they became, horses?” The pilot stroked his chin in confusion.
“I tried to understand the connection with ponies and Discord and everything came back to, a Tv show named: My little Pony: Friendship is magic.”
As expected, the pilot just stared at max like he was insane, and had two heads. “You...can’t...be...Serious?”
Max just ignored him and continued “There’s more, the email also mentioned that our world is gonna be destroyed. During my search I have seen multiple issues of insane, and unseasonal weather patterns. Earthquakes are breaking throughout the world. Something is shaking this world like a snowglobe, and I think this Discord is at the center of it too.”
“Okay so, um...I think we are...here.” Through the window the two of them could slightly make out the small building that was the hotel. “We will be landing in 15 mins. I will go ahead and radio in permission for landing.”He slowly moved his hands towards the radio, not taking his eyes off max. Max was staring out the window, not really listening to what he was saying.
“The Stanley Hotel.” Max said as he moved to the front window “You sure this is the correct coordinates?”
“Um yes, We are just about to pass over it, and head to the airport.”
“How high are we?” Max pondered
The Pilot seemed confused for a moment but answered the question. “About 12,000 feet. Sit back and take a load off, we will be on the ground soon.”
Max merely smirked, “No need.” he said quietly but still audible.
“Um, I beg your pardon?“ The pilot said, confused.
“I said...NO NEED!” He reached into his pocket and flung some cash at him. “Call it a tip!” Max ran over, grabbed his bag then went for a parachute.
The pilot was stunned at Max's sudden action and tried to bat the money away “HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” He said and tried to undo his seatbelt.
“THANKS FOR THE RIDE!” He ran to the hatch, opened the door and jumped out of the plane.
“MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXX!” He cried as Max started to plummet to the ground, the air blowing wildly inside the cabin. “IDIOT!” He said and tried to stabilize the plane with the new distraction.
Max went free falling into the sky. He plummeted head first with his arms at his side. the wind rustling his hair and coat wildly as he fell towards the ground.
<Haven't done this in a while.> Max thought as a smirk formed on his face. <Feels great, I should take everyone skydiving once we reunite.> He tried to chuckled as he was losing altitude quite quickly, <Here we...GO!> Max pulled the ripcord on the chute as it rapidly unfurled behind him. The chute caught the air and expanded out. slowing down Max's descent as he aimed for the parking lot of the hotel.
“Touchdown.” Max said as he easally landed in the parking lot and the chute fell behind him. Max unbuckled the strap and just left the chute there in the parking lot. He shot a look at the hotel, and a sign caught his eye.
“Closed for renovations." Perfect, last thing I want is for civilians to get in my way. It also means I don’t need to hold back or worry about any stray bullet hitting someone.”
Max started to walk to the front doors, and with no hesitation he kicked them open. Inside max would catch sight of several construction workers, “Ug, great, this is the last thing I need." He sighed and shook his head.
One of the workers walked over and approached Max “Um sir? The hotel is closed. Pedestrians are not allowed to be in here while we are renovating. We will have to ask you to please leave.”
Max did not budge from where he stood. “Leave.” he commanded as he stared at the worker, right in the eyes.
“Excuse me?” The worker said and snorted annoyed with his behavior. “Sir, I am going to POLITELY ask you again to please leave, or we are going to remove you by force and call the cops." He folded his arms and tried to take on a menacing pose.
“Leave...PLEASE!” Max said as his tone got more threatening.
The foreman had enough of Max’s behavior and was streaming at the ears. “Okay, I had enough of you you son of a...GAA!” the foreman was cut off as Max punched him square in the gut, hard enough to bring him to his knees, The other workers stared in shock at what had happened to their boss.
“All of you, take your boss and get out of my sight. I have business here, and it will be better if all of you were gone.” The other workers looked around nervously, but did not budge. Max gritted his teeth in annoyance and took out his handgun, firing at the ceiling “I SAID GET OUT!”
That was enough for all of them to leave, 2 of the other workers grabbed their fallen boss and hurried towards the door, leaving max alone in the hotel.
“Idiots, made me waste a perfectly good bullet.” He spat and holstered his handgun. “Now to find this “informant” who contacted me.”
Max slowly started to walk along the corridors of the hotel. The only sound being emitted was his feet as they softly crushed the carpet. “HELLO!?” He called out and tried to listen “HELLO!? I GOT YOUR EMAIL! YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!” He listened again for any response. Giving an annoyed sigh, he shook his head. “Was this whole thing a stupid goose chase?” He spat on the ground, trying to think what to do next.
Max’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he heard a honking coming from behind him. “What the heck was that!?” He turned to look over and saw a goose further down the hall. “You gotta be kidding me...” He said displeased as the goose started to honk wildly, annoying max. “SHUT UP!” He growled at it. The goose did not listen and it sounded like it’s honking was getting even louder. “Don’t make me waste another good bullet!” He pointed his gun at it. The goose saw it and ran off, though it continued it's loud honking. “COME BACK HERE!” He snarled and chased after the bird.
“An actual freaking goose chase, I don't believe this crap.” Max groaned as he rounded the corner. He stopped as he saw something down at the other end. His eyes would spot two small, identical, twin girls. The both had the same curly brown hair and wore the same blue dress.
“Come play with us max.” they said in a monotone unison. “Come play with us...forever and ever.”
He took his gun out and pointed it at the two, not caring they were small children “WHO ARE YOU!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? ALSO, HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?” The two girls seemed unphased by the firearm being pointed at them.
“We can play together forever max. We can play with the ponies in Equestria forever. Your friends are waiting Max” They spoke again. Max’s hand was shaking as he heard that. Annoyed with their actions he shot the area above them, hoping to scare them away. They did not blink, move, or react to the loud gunfire. “Come play with us Max.” They said again, then suddenly faded from view. An item fell to the ground out of nowhere and landed where they stood. Max slowly walked over and picked it up. It seemed to be a key to one of the rooms, the number “237” was on the back of the key. The key was attached to a blank looking, pony shaped keychain.
“Just what is going on in here?” He said as he kept staring at the key, and the equine shaped keychain. It was solid white with no markings. “This is, INSANE.” He snorted and pocketed the key. ”I don't know who is controlling this sick game, but I have no choice to go along...for now.”
Max made his way back to the main hall and pressed the button for the elevator. It hummed to life as it lowered to his floor “Glad this still works...” He muttered. The elevator gave a small ding as it reached his floor. The doors opened and before he could walk in he was met with a wave of rainbow colored water. “WHAT THE...!?” He was cut off as the wave washed over him, and knocked him back on his butt.
“...Heck” Max spat out the water that got in his mouth. ”Whoever did this is going to pay. If there is one thing I hate more than a friend stealing SOB, it's a friend stealing SOB, with a sick sense of humor.” He growled and got up, his clothing was still dripping with rainbow water. Against better judgment he got into the elevator and pushed the second button. The doors closed and rose up to the second floor.
The elevator dinged again and the doors opened as it reached the designated floor. “Almost too easy.” Max mumbled as he stepped out of the elevator. The moment he entered the hall his clothing became bone dry. He looked confused and felt the dry fabric. “This is way too weird.” He snorted and just walked off down the hall. He kept a brisk pace as he got to room 237.
“This is it...finally, I hope I get the answers I seek.” he said as his hand, shaking with anticipation, reached into his pocked and pulled out the key. He inserted it into the lock, and hear a loud click as he turned the key and opened it. The door slowly opened up on it's own. Max jumped back and brought his handgun to a ready possession. As he stood outside, he would hear something, a conversation. It was a bit too low to hear where he was, but he also heard music, and singing too.
With his gun at the ready max slowly entered through the door. He slowly moved forward, taking it step by step. The audio becoming more clear as he got closer. “Winter wrap up! Winter wrap up!” He heard being sung. Max quickly moved into the room and looked around. He spotted no one else in the room. However, the TV was on and max would see it was playing an episode of “My Little Pony.” He stared at the TV as the winter wrap up song finished playing.
“I always did like that song.” Came an unknown voice from behind max. He jumped in shock and turned around, pointing his gun at the person.
“WHO ARE YOU!?” He shouted angrily. The gun pointing right at his head.
The man scoffed and chuckled “Do you mind, I am trying to watch the show.” He sighed a bit as he stared at the TV. A small tear slowly trickled down the side of his face. “Soon...all will be right again.” He said in a small whisper.
Max snarled and shot the TV, “SHOW’S OVER!” he said as silence filled the room. The man did not budge or flinch from Max's sudden actions. He eventually sighed.
“Oh now, was that really necessary? I have the remote right here.” He said as he held it up. Max continued his glare at him.
“Where you the one who sent me the email?” He demanded “Do you know where my friends are?”
He Smirked hearing that second question. “Maybe I do, maybe I don’t. I am a very busy person you know, I have a hectic work schedule, quotas to meet. Things can become quite chaotic.” He chuckled, “As for your friends in general, you might have to deliver some more details, I have seen so many people in my lifetime, things just blur together.” He chuckled and got up. “Are you thirsty?”
“I did not say you can move.” His finger slowly squeezed around the trigger.
“Really? you are REALLY going to shoot at an unarmed man, who is offering some hospitality?” He shook his head, ignoring max’s demand, and move to the fridge. Max's brow furrowed as he move the gun and shot the wall in front of him, making him stop dead in his tracks. “You really ARE going to shoot me!” He gasped.
“Consider that a warning shot.” He spat. “Next time I aim for the leg, or the arm. Now then SIT DOWN!” He demanded and pointed to the chair. “Answer honestly and you will be walking away, and I mean actually walking away. Tell any lies and you will be in a wheelchair, or if you are lucky, just crutches.
The man merely shrugged and sat back down, giving an annoyed sigh, he crossed his arms and legs. “So then, Shall I call you Batman or Jack Bauer?” he scuffed.
“Max, just Max.” He stated and started to move around the room, his gun always pointed on the man “Now then, who are you?”
“Well then please allow me to introduce myself I am a man of wealth and taste.” He chuckled.
“I am not going to be giving you any sympathy.” Max snorted “NAME! NOW!” He demanded.
“Wow tough crowd.” He sighed “Okay, you want my name?” He smirked “Okay, it’s…” He paused for a while, a smile plastered on his face as he stared down max's demanding look”...Discord.”
Max froze and gasped in horror hearing that name. “YOU!” He growled and before Max could squeeze the trigger, Discord moved faster than max could blink, grabbed his gun, crushed it and tossed it aside.
“Yes me.” He chuckled, “Granted it’s not really noticeable in this human form, but well it's easier to move around.” He smirked. “I like chaos but it’s so hard to get work done when everyone is screaming and running away from you.”
Max looked angrily as his disarmed hand and jumped back “I really liked that gun you know.”
“Oh really? Did you have a cute name for it?” Discord said teasingly “Mike? Betsy? Ashley?”
Max just growled and reached into his bag and pulled out a pair of smaller handguns.”I always have back ups, now then tell me what you did to my friends?”
“Again, you are going to have to refresh my memories, I have no idea who you are talking about, I have a rather large folder.” He reached behind him and took out a large binder stuffed with papers. “Here...CATCH!” He said and tosses the folder at max. It burst open and papers went flying out everywhere, obscuring max view.
“Damn it!” He snarled and started to fire both handguns rapidly at the place where Discord was. “FACE ME COWARD!”
“Face you?” Discords voice seemed to be coming from everywhere. Suddenly, his draconequus face appeared on each piece of paper that was still flying around and blew a raspberry at him. “Is this enough face for you?” They all said, and then laughed.
“NOT AMUSED!” He shouted and fired all around, hitting pieces of paper. He fired away until the guns clicked empty.The papers settled and fell to the ground, leaving Max alone in the chaos. “Where did you go?” He sighed as he went into his back and pulled out an AK-47. he loaded in an clip of ammo and cocked it ready.
Discord's laughter rang out in the room. “Impressive shots good sir, I think you got everyone right between the eyes.”
“Let's just end this now, I want my FRIENDS BACK! GIVE THEM TO ME!” He looked around to try and find the source of the voice.
“Oh no worries, I will definitely take you to your friends, quite soon.” Max spun around and saw Discord standing in his true form behind him. “But it IS a rough trip, and you must be on at least 4 hoofs, and have a mark on your butt to gain entry. No worries though, I can help you help you with those problems. Just a small warning, it might...tingle a bit as your body structure shifts, crunches, and squelches.” He laughed.
“YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE ME!” He screamed and opened fire. Bullets sprayed everywhere as discord merely stood there; yawning as they seemed to be having no effect. Max stopped firing as he tried to see if he caused any damage.
“HA! You missed.” Discord teased and took out a glass of chocolate milk. “Excuse me, I am a tiny bit thirsty.” He drank it down, and for a tiny glass, he seems to be drinking a lot. As Discord drank, small streams of milk started to leak out of his body. Discord looked down and gave a rather fake gasp. “I stand correct partner, ya GOT me.” he said and suddenly fell to the ground, landed on his back and was holding an orchid in both “hands.”
Max slowly took a step forward as he looked at the “dead” Discord. “I know you are not dead.” he said and fired at the orchid, destroying the flower.
Discord sighed as he layed there “Wow, you really are a killjoy. What’s a matter Maxie? Rough childhood? Too scared to laugh and enjoy life? Oh, and watch out behind you, I am already there.” He chuckled.
“You really think I am going to fall for something so juvenile?” Max said unamused as he kept glaring down at him. Discord shrugged as max would suddenly feel something on his shoulder. Max looked down and gasped as he saw Discord’s lion paw. Then he looked up and saw Discord towering above him, smiling.
“Told ya.” he puched max right in the gut, stunning him and forcing him to his knees. Discord tapped the gun and it burst into various flowers. “I do suppose it’s time to end this silly game." He said as he bent down, grabbed Max’s chin and looked right into his eyes “So then, I really want to know, Who are you?” He chuckled as Discord looked deep into Max's eyes. “Come on, no need to be shy now, I am here to help you.” He kept smirking as was looking. His smile slowly started to fade away as confusion slowly started to take over. “Wait..I don’t understand where is it!?”
Max took advantage of Discord's confusion and was able to break away “What the heck are you even talking about!?” He snarled, and reached into his coat.
“Impossibile! you don't have a soul! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE ONE!? Everyone I have come across had one just begging for me to help and set them free, but you are empty!”
“Well lucky me.” He coughed a bit and slowly rose to his feet. “I got one more trick up my sleeve for you.” Now it was max’s turn to smirk as Discord would see him pulling out another gun.
“Oh please, take a hint, those silly toys have no effect on me, other than wasting perfectly good milk.” He blew a raspberry.
“Smith & Wesson 500 Double Action Magnum Revolver. My ace in the hole, and preferred weapon for dealing with annoying pests. This thing can kill an elephant in one shot, so let’s see what it can do to you.”
“Oh really? Any of those flying and pink? Because my friend I think you, might be hallucinating, from denial. That or I might have hit you a BIT too hard.” He laughed.
Max pointed the gun at Discord and tried to brace himself for the kickback. “Your overconfidence is your weakness.”
“And your faith in your friends is yours.” Discord’s laughter rang loudly in the room. Max, overloaded with rage, grit his teeth, narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
BANG!
Max’s whole body jerked from the recoil, yet he still stood his ground. Discord stopped laughing as silence filled the room. Discord’s mouth was frozen in an expression of horror. Max would be smirking victoriously.
Discord's body slowly started to shake, a whimpering came from his throat. Unable to hold it back, he gave a loud, ear piercing scream of pain. “MY ARM! MY ARM YOU BLEW OFF MY ARM!” He screamed as pain overtook him.
“Looks like it DOES have some effect on you after all.” Max looked down at the lion arm that was blown off and lay on the floor.”Now, if you don’t want me to blast off the other arm, you better start giving me some straight answers.” He said and readies the magnum again.
“No, pain...no, pain...no, no, pain, pain, painpainpain!” Discord shouted rapidly as his mind was bombarded with the unknown sensation. Discord gave a loud draconic roar as his eyes went solid red with anger. “YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!” He snarled and lunge quickly at Max, crashing into his chest and knocking him back.
Max gagged in pain as he was knocked back, the gun flying out of his hands. “Damn.” He groaned as he tried to get to his feet. He looked back and saw Discord going into a blind rage, destroying everything in the room. “I should get going.” He coughed a bit and tried to get away.
Discord looked over as he heard the door open and caught Max escaping. He gave another roar as he gave chase, smashing the door to splinters.
“OH CRAP!” He cried as he looked back and saw Discord slithering in the air, slashing the walls with his remaining arm, and smashing stuff with his tail. “I think I'll take the stairs.” He panted as his breathing was slightly limited form taking two heavy blows. Max gave a small gasp as he felt Discord's breath on the back of his neck. The draconequus looming right over top of him and ready to grab him. Max gasped a bit but saw the hallway turn ahead. “Hope this works." He whispered and threw himself around the corner. Discord, being unable to stop in time would crash right into the wall “Works every time.” He panted as he got up from the ground and ran to the stairs.
“I have no Idea how I am going to get out of this...” Max panted as he made his way down the stairs, and into the main lobby. “Maybe I can hide someplace and get out here in one piece.” Max said as he made his way to the doors. His victory was cut off as Discord came crashing through the ceiling and went right for Max. His eyes still solid red as max was face to face with him. Max took several steps backwards as he kept his gaze on the ravage beast. Discord quickly twisted his body around and whipped max with his heavy tail.
Max screamed in pain as he was hit to the ground once more. A crack hit his ears as he held his chest in pain. “Oh god, be broke a rib.” He clenched his teeth to hold back the scream, not wanting to give Discord any satisfaction of him being in pain.
Discord landed next to the fallen human and stared down at him. He kicked max over so that he would be laying on his back. Discord stared him down, not saying a word. Slowly he raised his cloven goat hoof and slammed it down, right on Max’s knee.
Max could not hold this one back as he screamed loudly in pain. A small smirk formed on Discord's face as he seemed pleased with the pain he caused.
“I hope you burn in HELL!” Max got out in between cries of pain and wincing, Discord never responded, his blank, red eyes still fixed on max. “Aw look at that, the creature of chaos who love to shoot his mouth off, has had his tongue stolen by the cat. After the cat arm got shot off.” Max gave some hysterical laughter.
“Hell? you want hell?” Discord finally spoke in a low, growling voice. “I will give you the worst type of hell ever.” His eyes darted around the room for a bit then his eyes caught sight of a sign. “Infact, I will send you to your friends, but they will never recognize you, and you will never recognize them. You will be their eternal enemy, forever fighting, never being by their side again, never being happy.”
“Just what the heck are you blabbering about this time? I liked it better when you were SILENT!” Max shouted, but then regretted doing that as his chest pain flared up. Discord pointed behind Max, and curiously he actually looked over to what he meant. “Chrysalis at the stanley hotel?” he said confused as he read the name of the gift shop.
“Yes, Queen Chrysalis! Once I change your body and your mind, you will do nothing but cause trouble for your friends, whoever they may be. Though once I find the real queen you might be demoted to nameless changeling,”
“But you said I never had a soul!” Max cried out.
“I’ll just improvise, like I said once you are a hive mined drone, one more won't make a difference. Hold tight your majesty, here comes YOUR CROWN!” Discord said and used his eagle claw to grasp Max’s head; His nails sinking in slightly, but not enough to draw blood. Max screamed again as he felt energy flowing into his head. His hair started to grow longer and slowly started to turn a shining blue. Max's skull would start to feel like it would be splitting open as a bulge stated to form on his head “The king is dead, long live the queen.” Discord said teasingly as he stared at the changing human.
“NOOOOOOO NOT THIS TIME!” A female voice came out of nowhere. Discord led go of the changing max and looked around nervously. “DISCORD! YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS TIME!”
Discord let go of Max and looked around. The skin on Max’s face was starting to harden and slowly turn black. “WHO’S THERE!? ARE YOU WITH THIS QUEEN!?” He said and looked around to try and find the source of the voice. “SHOW YOURSELF!”
“With pleasure!” She said again and suddenly an orb of light flew in between the two of them. “Say cheese, here come the flash!” The orb suddenly emitted a white, blinding light that engulfed the area. Discord covered his eyes and looked away. When the light faded away, and Discord could see once again, he would be alone; Max and the orb would be gone.
“CURSES!” He snarled and stomped his hoof, causing a huge crater in the ground “Just who was that, and how did she know me?”
Max would be laying down, semi concious. “Wake up, please wake up.” Max would hear the feminine voice say once again. ”Please, you must wake up." Max's eyes would open and as his vision would slowly return, he would see he was in an unknown location. It would appear he would be in some sort of alternate dimension. The placed seemed to be one large rainbow colored tunnel. “Thanks goodness you have awaken.”
Max slowly sat up and felt his head. He gave a gaspe as he realized that the changes Discord tried to do were reversed. Not only that, but all of his wounds were healed. Max jumped up to his feet and realized he was free from any pain that Discord has caused. “Just what is going on!?” He said as he looked around. "Also, where am I!?”
“Please allow me to explain.” max looked behind him and saw the ball of light once again. The ball would become bright again, but not as bright as before. Max raised a hand to try to block some of the light, so he could see his savior. max would see the shadow of a 4 legged equine, with two large wings and a horn on her head.
“My name is Princess Celestia, and we have a lot to talk about.”
