A diamond dog Warlord, his earth pony general, and a talented gryphon mercenary conspire to bring back Equestria's worst nightmare. The dangerous draconequus plans to reward the three, and knows just the way to do it while making sure the Element Bearers are... preoccupied.

Namely a little game, a game that'll lead the mares of Ponyville into a danger that they're not prepared for. Can Twilight and her friends figure out a way out of this, and even if they do will it be too late for the rest of Equestria?

A map of Equestria lay sprawled open in the center of the table, detailed down to the tiniest village and most inconsequential railroad, a red circle scrawled around the town of Ponyville. The group was odd to be sure, a doberman Diamond Dog warlord, clad in a leather vest adorned with orange highlights. To his left, his most trusted servant, a forest green draft pony with an unkempt, dirty blonde mane and tail with a cutie mark depicting a ram at his flanks; his dull violet eyes stared downward at the map, focused intently on it. The plan had been hatched between him and his master, the Warlord of the most powerful Diamond Dog Clan in the wastes they call home. Joining them was a gryphon. Most of his feathers were black, save for the dark blue ones around his eyes, at his back legs, ears, and on the top of his wings. Further highlighting his form was a white underbelly, inner ears, as well as wing and tail tips. \n\n\tThe three silently mulled their plans and troop movements, if things came together this would be the biggest upset in Equestrian History. A plan the likes of which had never been attempted, a plan that would shake Canterlot and the Crystal Empire to the ground. The gryphon finally broke the silence, his voice oddly smooth and soothing for his race “And you're sure this plan 'll work? We're not exactly dealing with some tiny village here, Warlord.”\n\nThe Diamond Dog glared at his feathered companion, his people's tell-tale growl offset by an unsettling eloquence, “He says he can get them out of the way, and you say you can get him to us. The plan after that works, you agreed, and the pony's sad excuse for a military is no match for my clan. There's no problem...” he paused, giving a toothy smirk as his clawed, brown paw squeezed the shrunken skull of a gryphon hanging from his collar in place of a jewel, the orange crystal that would typical take it's place lodged into the crown “Unless you can't get us into Equestria.”\n\nThe gryphon's taloned claw scratched across the table,“I can get us into Canterlot itself. I just need to know this is real and not just some deranged fever dream of an aging Dog.” he shot back.\n\nFinally the draft pony cut in, his large front hoof raised into the air, “The Warlord is touched by his power. His long life and magic are proof of that, mercenary. If he says it's really the mad one, then it's really him.”\n\nThe avian group member was silent, then a resigned sigh, the edges of his mouth contouring into a frown from the base of his black tipped beak. He closed his eyes, rubbing his temples with his palms, “Alright, I can make the switch as quickly as a month. Two at most. But this isn't a normal jail break, this goes bad it's going to be me paying for it. Dearly.”\n\nThe dog scoffed as he stood and turned away from the gryphon, arms crossed behind his back, “What we're offering you in slaves and gold alone is more than enough to... ”\n\n“Assuming your plan doesn't fail it's more than enough to cover my expenses, yes. But this isn't the first time we've done this, Warlord. You know the price. Same amount up front as always and it'll be done.” Silence fell once more over the room, finally the dog nodded to the pony, who produced a bag of gold coins and slid over to the gryphon. The mercenary picked it up quickly, weighing it before placing it within a rucksack at his side, “I'll have him at the border soon. Just be ready with... whatever you're planning to free him with.”\n\n\n\n\tTwo months later, Ponyville has just entered summer and the sun shined beautifully in the mid day. Flowers were in full bloom and animals filled the forests and rivers, much to the delight of the residents of the town. Meanwhile the Ponyville Public Library was filled with talking and laughter as a purple unicorn sat along side a white unicorn on pillows, joyously chatting with each other. They were Twilight Sparkle, one of the most powerful and important mares in the land, and her mother, Twilight Velvet; proud mother of two, happily married, and still attractive. The two could, in fact, be mistaken for sisters, with their lovely coats and nearly identical hair styles. Twilight' purple and green assistant meanwhile was serving the pair lunch, nothing fancy of course, just simple sandwiches and hay fries. The little dragon had to admit, he always thought Twilight's mom was kinda hot, with her white fur and purple highlighted mane and tail. Maybe he just had a thing for the color scheme, but before Rarity 'Miss Velvet' was his biggest crush. Of course the little dragon didn't fail to notice his adoptive 'sister' was just as attractive with her purple fur and multicolored purple and pink mane. Perhaps he just had a thing for purple. Regardless the pair of ponies gossiped over their lunch, getting the other up to date on each of their lives. \n\n“And Rainbow seriously tried to break into a hospital for one of my stories?” the pale, older mare chuckled, obviously enjoying hearing the tale of her daughter's attempt to 'rescue' a book. “Have you even told her I'm the author of Daring Do, Twilight?”\n\nThe purple unicorn mare just giggled, “She'd be on you faster than if I told her you had a ticket to the Wonderbolts, mom. Just let her calm down a little, you write them anonymously to keep fans off you after all.”\n\n\tThe pair giggled to each other as they continued to talk about that night, and Rainbow's insane plan from that night. As if invoked a certain rainbow maned, sky blue pegasus burst through the front doors of the library, looking positively ecstatic and talking faster than Pinkie Pie on a sugar high. “Twilight! You won't believe this! Fleetfoot, ya know, the Wonderbolt? She's here to evaluate me tomorrow! They're seriously considering me! Can you believe it, I mean I can believe it but can you!?” the athletic pegasus was on her in a second, grabbing her shoulders and excitedly yelling in her face.\n\n“Rainbow!” Twilight yelled a few times before she manages to pull away from her, granted justly excited friend, “I'm happy for you, I really am, but breathe, okay?” She motioned to the pony next to her, “You remember my mom, right? I introduced you at Shining's wedding\n\nRainbow took a few deep breaths then laughed nervously, “Err, hi Mrs. V. Sorry I didn't see ya there. When'd you get in town?”\n\nVelvet smiled, she did indeed remember the young pegasus from the wedding, “Hello Rainbow Dash, it's nice to see you again. I just came into town today to spend time with my dear Twilight. Congratulations on getting the Wonderbolt's attention though, I remember you telling me how much you wanted to meet them. It must be an honor for you to have to the Wonderbolts considering you this seriously.”\n\nTwilight rolled her eyes as Rainbow grinned wide again, “I know right? I mean I was at one of their training camps, but that doesn't mean you're automatically in! Now I just have to impress Fleetfoot so she gives a good report to Spitfire! I'm almost there!”\n\nA pink pony with a poofy pink mane and tail popped her head in, the ever energetic Pinkie Pie. “Dashie! I'll make you a cake later, but right now we have to go!” The trio looked in confusion at their friend as she bounced into the room, “Darn it Dashie, you didn't tell them did you, there's a contest in town, and we're almost out of time to enter!”\n\nTwilight smiled, an average effect from being around Pinkie, and the preferable alternative to the 'please stop talking' face hoof mark.“Thanks, Pinkie. But I'd rather spend some time doing what my mom wants. She has to get back to Canterlot in a few days.”\n\n“Actually, this sounds kind of interesting. Twilight, why don't the four of us enter with Pinkie?” She noticed a blank look from Twilight when the four of them were brought up, “... You forgot Spike again, didn't you dear?”\n\nThe young dragon yelled from the kitchen, “Yeah she does that.” he stepped out, tossing his frilly apron behind him and revealing his green underscales, “But yeah I'd love to enter a contest, it sounds like fun.”\n\nTwilight blushed at being ganged up on, and at her forgetfulness when it came to Spike. “Um, sure we can do that if you want mom.”\n\n“Awesome!” Rainbow grabbed the both of them by the hoof and pulled them up from their pillows. “Let's hurry, we might already be late!” As usual the athletic pegasus was dying to start a competition, even without knowing just what she was getting into.\n\n“Rainbow, she just said we have an hour!” despite her short attempt at reasoning with her friend, Twilight and her mother were pulled forward onto their feet. She gave Rainbow an annoyed look before walking forward. “Alright, alright, we're coming.” She rolled her eyes at her friend's competitive nature, and the group finally trailed behind Rainbow as they made their way to the square.\n\n\n\tIn the square a large tent was set up next to the entrance of City Hall. Beside it was a sign reading 'Mares and Fillies only', with a matching 'Stallions and Colts' sign directed toward city hall. Twilight raised an eyebrow, “That's weird. Why are we being separated by gender?”\n\nRainbow laughed, “Probably because some stallions complained I'd kick their butts. Guess Spike's going into town hall.”\n\nSpike shrugged, “I guess I'll see you girls after this is then. Try not to let Rainbow trip over her own ego though.” he smirked and ran off toward the hall after spouting out the joke, with Rainbow shouting behind him that 'it's not ego if it's true'. The group however continued into the tent, finding it filled with a surprising amount of ponies they knew, and soon they met up with the other members of their group.\n\n“So.” Twilight asked again, “Do any of you actually know what this contest is about?”\n\nApplejack, the well built orange furred earth pony of the group, shrugged, “Ya got me sugah cube, but Sweet Apple Acres could always use a few extra bits if that's the prize, an' ya'all know we love contests. Heck we brought the whole family.” she nodded over to her sister, laughing and playing in the crowd with Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, as well as their cousin Babs Seed.\n\nTwilight looked back to her farmer friend, “I thought Babs was back in Manehattan?”\n\n“Yeah but ya can't learn ta buck apples in the city, so she wanted to come back an' learn over the summer.”\n\nPinkie burst up from behind Applejack, confetti from nowhere joining her “Really!? Why didn't you tell me, I'd have hosted her a big welcome party!”\n\nApplejack rolled her eyes at Pinkie's antics as a beautiful unicorn mare walked up beside her, her pure white fur and purple mane making her stand out, even in a musty tent. “I'm more curious as to why we had to be separated from the stallions. What kind of competition needs that?”\n\nTwilight looked next to her as Fluttershy spoke up, the nervous yellow pegasus making sure to keep the group between her and the crowd. “Umm... M-maybe it's a series of events? Like a um-” She flinched a little when Rainbow wrapped a wing around her\n\n“Fluttershy's kinda got a point, Makes sense if it's like a tournament. Winner from both brackets go up against the other.” she looked at the yellow who smiled and nodded.\n\nTwilight nodded as well, “Well, I guess we won't know either way until whoever's hosting this thing shows up.” As if on cue the clock tower rang out, signaling the end of sign ups. The tent's flaps shut tight as the insides became impossibly dark. The sounds of nervous and panicked ponies filled the tent as Twilight, Rarity, and several other unicorns used simple spells to make some low levels of light emanate from their horns, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders rushed over to their respective idols legs for protection. Soon a dark laugh began to emanate within the tent, growing louder and bolder until it became downright malicious. Suddenly a burst of flame created a stage and the laughter immediately died. Every pony in the place looked at it nervously, not sure of what to expect at this point. After a few moments of silence a Manticore burst forth from behind the stage, inciting screams from the organized crowd before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, the malevolent laughter returning until it turned almost jovial.\n\nFinally lightning cracked within the tent and there on stage stood a sight familiar to the ponies of Equestria. A figure with a long serpentine body, mismatched animal body parts, and a pair of yellow eyes with red pupils, “You should've seen the looks on your faces!”", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tThe room was dark, lit only by a dying lantern that cast long, swaying shadows of those seated at the table.

Rainbow laughed, “Probably because some stallions complained I'd kick their butts. Guess Spike's going into town hall.”

Spike shrugged, “I guess I'll see you girls after this is then. Try not to let Rainbow trip over her own ego though.” he smirked and ran off toward the hall after spouting out the joke, with Rainbow shouting behind him that 'it's not ego if it's true'. The group however continued into the tent, finding it filled with a surprising amount of ponies they knew, and soon they met up with the other members of their group.

“So.” Twilight asked again, “Do any of you actually know what this contest is about?”

Applejack, the well built orange furred earth pony of the group, shrugged, “Ya got me sugah cube, but Sweet Apple Acres could always use a few extra bits if that's the prize, an' ya'all know we love contests. Heck we brought the whole family.” she nodded over to her sister, laughing and playing in the crowd with Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, as well as their cousin Babs Seed.

Twilight looked back to her farmer friend, “I thought Babs was back in Manehattan?”

“Yeah but ya can't learn ta buck apples in the city, so she wanted to come back an' learn over the summer.”

Pinkie burst up from behind Applejack, confetti from nowhere joining her “Really!? Why didn't you tell me, I'd have hosted her a big welcome party!”

Applejack rolled her eyes at Pinkie's antics as a beautiful unicorn mare walked up beside her, her pure white fur and purple mane making her stand out, even in a musty tent. “I'm more curious as to why we had to be separated from the stallions. What kind of competition needs that?”

Twilight looked next to her as Fluttershy spoke up, the nervous yellow pegasus making sure to keep the group between her and the crowd. “Umm... M-maybe it's a series of events? Like a um-” She flinched a little when Rainbow wrapped a wing around her

“Fluttershy's kinda got a point, Makes sense if it's like a tournament. Winner from both brackets go up against the other.” she looked at the yellow who smiled and nodded.

Twilight nodded as well, “Well, I guess we won't know either way until whoever's hosting this thing shows up.” As if on cue the clock tower rang out, signaling the end of sign ups. The tent's flaps shut tight as the insides became impossibly dark. The sounds of nervous and panicked ponies filled the tent as Twilight, Rarity, and several other unicorns used simple spells to make some low levels of light emanate from their horns, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders rushed over to their respective idols legs for protection. Soon a dark laugh began to emanate within the tent, growing louder and bolder until it became downright malicious. Suddenly a burst of flame created a stage and the laughter immediately died. Every pony in the place looked at it nervously, not sure of what to expect at this point. After a few moments of silence a Manticore burst forth from behind the stage, inciting screams from the organized crowd before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, the malevolent laughter returning until it turned almost jovial.

Finally lightning cracked within the tent and there on stage stood a sight familiar to the ponies of Equestria. A figure with a long serpentine body, mismatched animal body parts, and a pair of yellow eyes with red pupils, “You should've seen the looks on your faces!”", "pools_count": 0, "title": "Game of Discord: Competition and Conquest", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "application/msword", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "2", "rating_name": "Adult", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "4", "name": "Sexual Themes", "description": "Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal", "rating_id": "2" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "f", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "2", "views": "1265" }
