History FanFic / ChroniclesOfHarmonysEnd

* WhipItGood: Discord uses one apparently made of ''bubblegum'' to [[InstantKnots restrain]] Array.

* [[spoiler:NiceJobBreakingItHero: How much of a "hero" is debatable, but Array only succeeds in giving Discord free rein over everything in his attempt to stop him for good.]]

** Then again, he does seem to [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely believe]] that [[LawfulGood absolute order would make for a perfect world]]. Of course, since Discord is his Chaos counterpart, perhaps he too believes that absolute chaos would make a perfect world?

* NotSoDifferent: Discord is selfish and amoral, and accuses Array of being no better.

-->--'''''Discord'''''

->''"Order and chaos. The oldest of truths, destined to spend a hopeless eternity at each other's throats ... Harmony's precious balance is built on making sure we stay that way. As long as he's keeping us in line, we can never settle our differences once and for all. So, what I propose is quite simple - get rid of Harmony."''

* InformedAttribute: Array describes himself as being "eternally patient." He proceeds to disprove this by snapping at Discord's delays and wordplay repeatedly.
** He vaguely [[HandWave handwaves]] it by claiming there is a "distinction between impatience and intolerance for provocation." Which, in context, basically translates to "I'm patient with everyone ''except'' you."

* TheMaker: Harmony is referred to as this, among other things.
** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with the "Whisper" that Discord alludes to, which apparently exists solely to [[PowerOfTheVoid unmake]] creations that go wrong.

* MrExposition: Discord elaborates on the mechanics of their plan ''after it's already halfway through'', just for the benefit of the readers. In fact, he's responsible for revealing quite a few details regarding the setting, including Harmony's supposed grand scheme.
** He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it himself]]: "So, expository banter aside, I'm sure you're wondering why I called this meeting?"

* NominalHero: Array, arguably. Most of his actions, both [[EnemyMine villainous]] and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone heroic]], are motivated by his one desire - to erase Chaos forever so that Order may rule in its absence.
** Then again, he does seem to [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely believe]] that [[LawfulGood absolute order would make for a perfect world]].
*** Of course, since Discord is his Chaos counterpart, perhaps he too believes that absolute chaos would make a perfect world?

* [[spoiler:SequelHook: Presumably, the sequel will involve Array somehow sending the Elements of Harmony to Equestria.]]

!This fanfic provides examples of

* TheMaker: Harmony is referred to as this, among other things.
** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with the "Whisper" that Discord alludes to, which apparently exists solely to [[PowerOfTheVoid unmake]] creations that go wrong.
* ThePhoenix: Harmony is described to be one, and since he's established as ''the'' god of the setting, he is probably the first. No relation to other [[AKindOfOne phoenices]] (including [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof Philomena]]) has been hinted at.

* YinYangBomb: Order and chaos joining forces, which is apparently enough to overcome even the TopGod.

* StealthPun: The "bulky rectangular bat with a thin handle at its base" that ''chirps.'' Discord yells "oh yeah, he hits it for six!" after taking a swing with it. [[spoiler: It's a cricket bat.]] Of course, what's a StealthPun to some readers may come across as an IncrediblyLamePun to others.

-->'''Discord''':"And what is my vision, exactly? I forget. No, seriously, I forget."

-->'''Discord''':"That sounds just like you, Array. You ''would'' make chaos boring."

-->'''Discord''':"Five! Ten! Twenty points! Yeah, you own that nothing in particular. Me. Hit ''me'', not the tree."

-->'''Discord''':"That might've hurt... if it, y'know, hit."

-->'''Discord''':"I'd give it a seven. It loses points on cliche."

-->'''Discord''':"It's rude to teleport when someone's talking to you."

-->'''Array''':"You really have lost your mind if you believe it to be a good plan."
-->'''Discord''':"Actually, you haven't heard the plan yet. That was just the end goal."

* [[spoiler:NiceJobBreakingItHero: How much of a "hero" is debatable, but Array only succeeds in giving Discord free reign over everything in his attempt to stop him for good.]]

[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/41687/Chronicles-of-Harmony%27s-End Chronicles of Harmony's End]] is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic by Chrono Ryono set just before Discord subjects Equestria to his [[TheDarkTimes infamous]] reign of chaos and suffering. Discord approaches his lawful counterpart [[WingedUnicorn Array]] with a treacherous proposition, and despite not wanting to admit it, Array sees his point...

* GoneHorriblyRight: Array wanted Harmony out of the way so that nothing would interfere with his goal to kill Discord. [[spoiler:Not realizing that he lacked the ability to actually do it.]]

* MeaningfulName: Following the trend already set by Discord, Array's name refers to an orderly arrangement.

* BackStory: fanmade backstory to the Elements of Harmony and Discord's reign of chaos in Equestria.

* KamehameHadoken: Array's final attack appeared to be something like that.

* [[spoiler:NiceJobBreakingItHero: how much of a "hero" he is is debatable, but Array only succeeds in giving Discord free reign over everything in his attempt to stop him for good.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:presumably, the sequel will involve Array somehow sending the Elements of Harmony to Equestria.

* OrderVersusChaos: Taken to its literal extreme when the ''gods'' of these elements slug it out.
