My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship (MLP remake with male OC added)

62. Return of Chaos

Star Twinkle and Steel Hammer were assigned to help to build a barn in Sweet Apple Acres. However, things got a little complicated because the orchard was being flooded by water. Applejack accompanied the two ponies to the source and found out that a beaver was building his dam right in front of the orchard. The three Earth Ponies tried to talk with the beaver but because of the obvious language barrier they had to bring Fluttershy to do some translation and after some negotiations, there seemed to be some progress.

The beaver seemed to be complaining about something but nopony except Fluttershy understood him. "What's he goin' on about now?" Applejack asked confused.

"Good news. Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth has agreed to take his dam apart and move it," Fluttershy explained.

"Well, it's about time. My apple trees are so waterlogged, I can practically hear 'em gargle!" Applejack said, obviously pointing out the fact that all her trees are drowned in water.

But then Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth turned around and crossed his arms, clearly angered and still complained about something which Fluttershy translated again. "But he says first Steel Hammer has to apologize for calling him "a nuisance"," Fluttershy said.

"Never!" Steel Hammer said angrily determined.

"Steel Hammer!" Star Twinkle exclaimed angrily, reminding him that he doesn't want to stand there with a beaver arguing the whole day. "We still have to continue our work here!"

Steel Hammer was acting a little stubborn but after thinking about it a little, he finally gave in. "Alright, alright, I apologize," he said heavily forced.

After that, the beaver was sticking his tongue out, causing Steel Hammer to get angry again. If it wasn't for Star Twinkle holding him back, Celestia knows what he would have done to the little critter.

Moments later, the beaver removed one tiny twig, causing the whole dam to fall apart surprisingly quick and releasing the orchard of its flooded state.

Applejack, who was annoyed by the situation as well, turned to Fluttershy to express her thanks. "Thanks, Fluttershy. Don't know what I would've done without you," Applejack expressed being relieved that this was finally over.

"Glad I could help," Fluttershy returned.

For Star Twinkle and Steel Hammer this finally meant that they could return to their work of building a barn but before they could go back to work, Rainbow Dash came by. "Hey, slackers! Double time it on over to Ponyville, would ya?! We're all waiting on you!"

Apparently, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike, as well as Princess Celestia, were waiting in Ponyville for Star Twinkle, Applejack, and Fluttershy. Star Twinkle did remember that Princess Celestia was visiting Ponyville today but she didn't explain for what reason she would come over so Star Twinkle thought that it was something minor. But it looks like as if he and his friends needed to be present for something. Star Twinkle just hoped that it was not something dangerous like dealing with some Changeling Queen, an Evil Unicorn King, a dark magic using Unicorn or the Lord of Chaos.

But, things usually don't tend to go the way how Star Twinkle wished.

"Is that...Discord!?" Star Twinkle said in shock after he saw the stone statue of the Draconequus Discord, the Lord of Chaos who was defeated by him and his friends before with the help of the Elements of Harmony.

"What is this all about?" Applejack said, asking the most obvious question that everypony asked themselves right now.

"Princess Celestia wants us to reform Discord so that his magic can be used for the good," Twilight explained.
