A/N: My friend MusicianDeer97 and I got together and wrote this fanfic. This is an anti MLP FIM fanfic.
It was a typical day in Ponyland. Twilight Sparkle was leading the way with her friends not too far behind.
Pinkie Pie seemed to be keeping everypony behind due to her constant talking and blabbering mouth. She was excited about a party at Canderlot that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence invited her too, as was the rest of the village.
"Ooh, what do I wear? What do I look like? I have to bring balloons. Will there be balloons? Maybe I'll bring cupcakes instead. Everypony loves cupcakes!" She blabbered on for so long that no-pony was listening to her at this point.
Fluttershy stayed very close to her friends when they came to passing by an old abandoned home. Just the eerie feeling made her feel scared and frightened about what hides alone in those dark empty rooms. The house sat on the edge of Ponyville next to a bustling shack where Granny Smith would occasionally on the weekends be selling fresh delicious apple pie at.
"Guys, do you think we can pick up the pace?" Said the nervous pegasus.
"Gee, Fluttershy. What's the matter this time?" Rainbow Dash was flying above her.
"It's just old houses are very unsettling and... gulp Ne-nerve racking," replied Fluttershy.
"Lemme guess, Discord's been flooding your mind with nightmares," Applejack said plainly.
"Speaking of. What ever happened to Discord?"
No-pony hasn't seen Discord in quite a while. It was nice that the mane-six could go out for a walk without having a run in with the master of chaos himself; but it felt eerily strange with him not around. It just seemed that one day he went up and disappeared. It might be a good thing since all they have to deal with now is King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis. At least that's 3 tyrant's they have to deal with.
Looking from inside an.unknown house. Discord sees The ponies walk by the house!
"Excellent! They'll be perfect for my experiments!" Send them in!
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Discord looked around the empty house realizing he was alone. "Oh, right."
Daylight was burning. The party was in a few hours. It would take a while to get the group together. Especially since Discord and Sombra had beef with each other after last times incident where during their last meeting, Discord (during a bored game he made up) poured boiling hot tea on the Crystal Empire's evil kings head when he was attempting to pour him more coffee. His chaotic nature couldn't be controlled and it just happened.
An hour later, he had all of the villains in Equestria inside the dark house with him. Ranging from King Sombra, the former ruler of the Crystal Empire who was damned to be overthrown again. His heart was made purely out of the crystal stone with the fear of his slaves inside. Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changelings which she uses to trick others into following her. Nightmare Moon, the corrupt sister of Princess Luna who is just jealous of all of the attention her sisters get. And Discord, the master of chaos himself who famously came close to overthrowing Princess Celestia and Luna only to fail and be enclosed in stone.
They all sat around a table with tea. Sombra was seated across from Discord and didn't take his eyes off him indicating he was still upset from the tea incident.
The group sat in silence for a minute as the voices of the mane six disappeared in the distance. They had to be sure they were away from every and anypony. They sat in silence, thinking. Thinking of ways to conquer everypony.
"We could harvest their souls, trap them, and banish them to Tartarus like they've done with us!" Nightmare Moon suggested. She had a tendency to be dark at times. Especially since she was growing more and more deep into a state of pure evil.
"Please." King Sombra scoffed.
"Or we could scare the living daylights out of them until everypony flees and never returns!" She suggested.
"That would never work," Discord said. His chin rested on his first as he thought. "We'd just be overthrown once again by those fools."
The group continued to brainstorm ideas. Some sounded foolish, some sounded quite good, and some sounded too harsh. King Sombra had an idea to take everypony and have them work under their power, claiming it's how he got everypony to fear him. Queen Chrysalis reminded him that it wouldn't work with how powerful all the ponies are combined.
Discord kept silent as the three chatted. Then he remembered something. Something that he kind of regretted doing. Since he has the ability to travel to different dimensions... He remembered visiting one. When he arrived he was greeted with the sounds of whipping, singing, and screams of agony.
He recalled witnessing from afar, a man in the shadows surrounded by 3 other people, beating and just destroying what looked to be like an old hobo who lived under an overpass. Discord could still see the image in his head. The whip smacking. The man screaming. A large black cane being driven into the old guy's gut. It was a gruesome sight. Too much for him to take. But it did give him an idea. Maybe something less excruciating. But an idea to punish the ponies.
It was perfect. At least to him.
"I've got it," Discord snapped his finger.
The group turned their attention to him.
"Please, tell us what your plan might be," said King Sombra. He'd expected for the Draconequus to come up with something silly or ridiculous that would only work for a day or two before they'd be banished.
"I recalled seeing this movie," Discord explained. "It came back out in the early 70s. It involves a young innocent teen named Alex DeLarge. He had this gang and would go around..." It took him a second to come up with an alternative word for "kill." "Cause mass destruction of innocent people. Like really messing them up."
"Oh, please," Queen Chrysalis rolled her eyes. Like she wasn't already doing that. For Celestia's sake she was a queen of minions who do the same thing Discord was talking about.
"But it was in a way..." Discord continued. He really has to be careful of his words of choice. Damn Fluttershy and her friends for reforming him, showing him the path of friendship. "In a way that really... Scarred them." He acted like a gentleman. Leaning back. His hands together. Eyes closed. "Or knocked them unconscious for say a long time."
"We're listening," Queen Chrysalis grinned devilish.
The trio seemed intrigued. They took a minute to think about it.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Queen Chrysalias says, "Want to know what I think".
Discord asks, " what is your opinion on this?"
Queen Chrysalias approves, "I love it! We'll give those ponies exactly what they need".
Discord says, "1970s moves are excellent inspiration"! " Yeah, better than social media!".
Queen Chrysalias says, "what are we waiting for? These ponies minds are going to become A pound of flesh".
It was an hour before the party. While Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie stayed behind in Canderlot to help set up everything. Twilight and Spike were sent to get one more special thing. That was the 24-pack of cupcakes that Pinkie Pie left on the counter at Sugarcube Corner.
The duo walked casually down the cobblestone roads. Night was coming fast. The streetlights were already lit. Hidden in the shadows around the corner, the group of Equestria's most dangerous tyrannts awaited. Discord wanted to be the first to strike, but Sombra insisted he'd be the first to take a shot since he was seen as more dangerous, vicious, and threatening.
The sound of Twilight's hoofs clip-clopping echoed down the road. It sounded as if she was getting close. Closer to her doom.
"Wait," Nightmare Moon whisperes. "We can't be seen like this. "What do you mean?" Queen Chrysalis says.
"Well nevertheless they'll spot us". Nightmare Moon says. " Yeah you're right. We have to get them when they least expect it ". Queen Chrysalias agrees.
Hiding away where the ponies can't find them. Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalias set a trap for the ponies.
" We'll need to catch them.". Queen Chrysalias told him. "But how? Got any ideas?". Asked Nightmare Moon.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
With the help of chaotic magic, Discord snapped his fingers. A tripwire appeared right in front of Twilight. She didn't notice it until it was too late. "Oof!" She said, stumbling forward. Spike fell off her back landing on his back.
The other villains stayed back as Discord came out of the shadows dressed in a black tuxedo complete with a cane. "Top of the evenin' to ya Twilight. Spike." Said Discord ever so calmly, trying to sound innocent.
Twilight stood back up as so did Spike. "Oh, Discord," said Twilight. "I didn't know you were here."
"Can I ask what such a pony like you is doing out at this hour?" Said Discord. "Especially with a young innocent dragon." He gently patted Spike's head.
"Well.. Pinkie Pie was supposed to bring cupcakes but forgot. So." Twilight explained.
"Cupcakes. For what?" Discord asked curiously. He was waiting for the right moment to strike. He didn't know when it would be right to.
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie tell Discord, "Do you know where we can find some cupcakes".
"Sure, why not! I know exactly where" Discord implied.
"Really? Can you show us?". Asks Twilight Sparkle.
" Absolutely! There is a grocery store bot too far away from here! Follow me ". Discord orders.
" Yes! We'll get our cupcakes in no time!". Twilight Sparkle said. "We also need more supplies for the party too!". Pinkie Pie reminded.
Discord kindly led Twilight and Spike down a path that was dark. Branches hung low. The moonlight barely lighting their path.
"Are you sure the shop's this way?" Spike asks Discord.
"It's a shortcut," Discord replied.
Something smelt fishy. Spike and Twilight could both sense it. At the end of the path, Queen Chrysalis, Kind Sombra, and Nightmare Moon waited for the trio, horns glowing, dark magic waiting to be used.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Twilight Sparkle says, "hey!. There's no grocery store around here."
"You know something? Twilight is right. We should've seen one by now.". Protested Pinkie Pie.
" I don't see any stores at all!". Spike implies.
Queen Chrysalias and King Sombra make their decision to trap them!
"Now!" Nightmare Moon ordered. The rest of the gang cornered Twilight and Spike. Their horns still glowing and ready to zap them.
Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Pinkie Pie are in consumed in a trap for which they can't get out of.
"The ends justify the means" laughs Discord!
Wha... How..." Twilight was confused on what was going on. She was surrounded by a large purple bubble forcefield that not even her magic could destroy it.
And that time the group of villains chuckled as they closed in on the two. Discord snapped his finger and the purple bubble burst into a goo slime which held the dragon and purple pony down as Discord; now armed with a crocuet mallet threw a few practice swings like he was playing golf before.. WHACK! The mallet slammed harshly into the side of the purple pony's side.
Twilight let out a gasp of pain. Her side started to throb with pain. The hit wasn't as hard as what Discord intended; but it was hard enough to stun.
Discord chuckled.
Spike sat up. "Hey! You can't do that!" He shouted. He charged at Discord who just yawned and swung the mallet just before the young dragon could reach him. It was a light smack on the nose. "Ow!" Spike said rubbing his little nose. Then he got angry. "Alright. Now you're in for it."
"Oh, I'm really scared. I'm being threatened by a little wimpy dragon," said Discord fakely. He let out a laugh. Twilight got up and stepped forward, pushing Spike back.
Spike and Discord were now having a terrible fight. Whenever Spike tried to strike Discord, he kept dodging back.
"Does this bug you? Does this bug you? Does this bug you? Im not touching you"/ Discord taunted Spike.
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were struggling in the goo. " Please Spike! Defend our honor". Pinkie Pie pleaded.
"Its no use. Spike is sunk and so are we.". Twilight Sparkle bemoaned
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
So it was. Twilight Sparkle and Spike. Trapped and nearly beaten to unconscious by Discord. Nightmare Moon and the gang watched from behind a bush.
"You.." Spike struggled. "You monster. You were reformed." He struggled in the slime. His chest slowly moved up and down with each breath. Twilight's side was still throbbing in pain from the crocuet mallet.
"Reformed. REFORMED!" Discord let out an evil laugh. "Fools. I've only pretended to be reformed. Though, Fluttershy... Ah, well, she's not here anyway." He stepped back, allowing for the other members to have their turn torturing the trapped two. Twilight Sparkle struggled to get her horn to glow. Spike fought hard against the slime, twisting and turning. It felt like a giant slimy tentacle was holding him down.
"You won't get away with this Discord!" Spike shouted. "When everypony finds out who did this, you'll be sorry!"
Discord puts a device on both Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie.
"Oh no! What's happening to us!!!" Shrieked Twilight Sparkle.
Discord along with Queen Chrysalias also puts metal bindings on their eyelids
"Use these too!'. Saud Queen Chrysalias..
"Not the eyes! Please not the eyes too!". Screamed Pinkie Pie.
Spike still in the slime shouts, " Whatever you're doing. It won't bring you happiness "
"Happiness," Discord giggled. "This is hilarious." He brought his head down to the dragons face. "And what are you going to do about it?"
Spike spat at Discord face. But Discord eats his spit.
"Saliva! Yum! Delicious!". Discord smiled.
" Lets turn on the machine "! Queen Chrysalias ordered. Discord turns on the machine.
"What are you doing?!" Twilight demanded, her voice hinted with sheer terror and fear. Immediately the machine shocks her. Discord and the group together watching. The machine was like a shock collar but with 5x worse electricty. With each shock her body convulsed slightly. Twilight tried to speak, but the machine kept zapping her neck in short sharp shocks. "Niff. Neh. Eh." Was the sounds she could make with her teeth clenched tightly together.
"Stop it!" Spike shouted as he started to sink into the puddle of slime. It was obvious was going to be drowned.
Twilight continued to convulse with each shock. Her horn lit up as she struggled to get the device off from her neck.
Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis watched with delight, but felt as if the torture was too much. They didn't want to actually kill off the ponies, but just torture them to a point where they would never be messed with again.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Feel the terror from within!". Queen Chrysalias said. " Dont worry! We're not going to make you die "! Said Sombra.
Nightmare Moon chimes in, " I love the smell of boiling pony blood"!
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were in extreme pain from being shocked so many times. Spike began to sink some more into the slime.
His mouth was barley above. He kept calm as he let his body sink almost as if he was submitting.
"Alright, that's enough," said Discord, snapping his fingers stopping everything. The collar stopped shocking leaving Twilight on the ground panting. Spike was left in fear. His body shaking slightly. His eyes kept shut tight accepting his fate.
"Well, 3 down, only another few to go," Discord stated.
"Excellent," Nightmare Moon grinned. "Where to now?"
"Can we go now?" Spike asked fearfully.
"Your torture is over," Discord told the young dragon. "But I'll leave you three here to relax. Maybe come back later.." He started to smirk at the idea of more torture methods. Then just like that, the group of villains left. Sombra, Chrysalis, and Nightmare stomped over Twilight and Spike as they followed the dirt path with the guidance of the moonlight to town.
Their mission was to pose as nice people at the party that they overheard about, get the cupcakes, show up, pretend to be nice, then cause mass destruction: Absolutely obliterating the place which the party is held at.
Meanwhile, back in Canderlot, the party was still being set up. Banners and streamers hung high across the ceiling. Tables with white cloths alined the walls with gifts and snacks. One table had a large chocolate fountain with a bowl of freshly picked strawberries next to it.
In a corner, Shining Armor and Fluttershy were pumping helium into a pack of balloons. "Whoops." Shining Armor's grip slipped on one of the balloons, causing it to fly everywhere, landing in a bowl of fruit punch.
"What is taking Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie so long?". wondered Fluttershy.
" Sorry, just distracted. ". Shining Armor said. " You're right. They should've been here by now.". Shining Armour added.
"They should've been back with the party supplies by now.". Fluttershy tells Shiny Armour.
Applejack went to try the punch. She choked on the balloon that deflated into the punch.
" Oh no! Applejack,! ". Fluttershy screamed. " Lets try to help!". Shining Armour demanded.
Fluttershy ran to her friend and immediately began giving her the heimlich remover. She pumped her hooves hard against Applejack's stomach until she coughed the balloon out. It launched out of her mouth and into Shining Armor's face. "Ew." He said. The balloon slid down landing on the floor with a soft wet slap.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asks.
"Yeah." Applejack coughs.
"I'm getting worried about Twilight. It's been nearly an hour since they left," Shining Armor stated.
"I know," Applejack agreed. "It isn't usual for her to be late like this." She stood next to Shining Armor.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The ponies debated whether or not they should go look for their friends.
"Guess this means we have to postpone the party.". Applejack speaks out.
Fluttershy agrees, " Its the least we can do."
"What we ought to do is follow their tracks.". Shining Armour boasted.
Applejack announces to all the other ponies. " We're all going to look for Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. Hold the fort until we all get back."
Fluttershy, Applejack, and Shining Armour all went to search for Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie.
And so they set. Down the empty cold dark cobblestone streets alone with only a few streetlamps and light from the moon guiding their path. Their clip-clops seemed to echo throughout with each step they took. Shining Armor stayed in front ahead a bit with Rainbow Dash flying above him searching high and low like a hawk.
"I hope nothing bad happened to them," said Fluttershy.
"Me too," Shining Armor nodded in agreement.
The group was unawared that behind a bush. The group of four terrifying ponies would be stalking their every move. Eyeing them like a hawk with its prey. They made sure to stay low so if anypony threw a glance around they could easily duck without being seen.
Fluttershy stopped for a second and threw a glance at the bushes. Discord and the gang f* to avoid being seen. Fluttershy continued staring at the bushes, looking as almost as if she was in a daze.
"She's staring this way," Queen Chrysalis said in a low whisper.
"Would you shut up!" King Sombra growled softly.
They hoped that Fluttershy hadn't caught them. They waited a minute. Fluttershy turned her head back forward and continued walking.
"We need to move forward.". Fluttershy says. " Won't rest until they're found"! Said Shining Armour.
It was until then Fluttershy got a glimpse out of the corner of her eye. "Did you see something?". asked Shining Armour.
"I thought I did," she responded.
"Where?"
"Over there." Fluttershy pointed to the bushes to the right of them.
Shining Armour and Fluttershy look to where she thought she saw something. Queen Chrysalias and King Somba were still hiding away.
"Good thing she didn't see us." Queen Chrysalias says. "That was too close" King Somba gasps.
"Where could they be! Where could they be!" Fluttershy began to cry. "Don't worry, we're going to find them!" said Shining Armour. "We've been doing for what it seemed like hours and still know sign of them!" Fluttershy said and then went on. "Not only that, we have a party and everyone else is waiting for it to start!"
Shining Armour just stood there and let Fluttershy have her meltdown.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Hey, it's alright. The party's still on," Shining Armor assures Fluttershy. He held up a tissue and allowed her to blow her nose: Then they moved on.
Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle and Spike struggled to get up. Spike managed to crawl to Twilight and hoist himself up, then helped Twilight up who was still sore from the shock and smack. "Thanks, Spike," she said.
"I don't believe it," Spike said.
"What?" Twilight rubbed her head.
"That isn't like Discord and King Sombra," he complained. "It's not like them at all. I mean, I know they're cruel. But they're not that cruel."
"I don't know, Spike. All I know is that I need to lie down," said Twilight Sparkle. Her head throbbed as so did her side. She had a headache and found it hard to keep her balance. She leaned against Spike as they made their way to Sugarcube Corner right as they were about to close for the night.
Spike collected the 4 dozens of cupcakes and started journeying back to Canderlot.
Meanwhile, Discord and the gang were secretly following Shining Armor and his group while being hidden in the bushes. The leaves beneath their hooves crunched softly as twigs snapped in harsh crack sounds.
"Easy now," Discord told the three. "We don't wanna get caught."
"Well sorry," said Chrysalis sarcasticly.
As the group continued their journey, the tension in the air was palpable. Shining Armor kept a watchful eye on Fluttershy, who was still sniffling but trying her best to stay composed.
"Are you feeling any better?" he asked gently.
Fluttershy nodded, though her eyes were still red. "A little. Thank you, Shining Armor."
"What's your next plan Mr. Master of chaos?" King Sombra asked.
We'll get them next!" Discord suggested. "How are we going to trap them?" asked Queen Chrysalis. "I think I know." said Discord deviously.
As the group came into Ponyville, Discord jumped from the bushes, flying high in the sky before bolting back down in front of Fluttershy and Shining Armor.
"Oh, Discord," Fluttershy said with a smile.
"Fluttershy," Discord smiled, trying to hide his dark side. He went in and hugged his best friend. He noticed she had been crying and asked what was wrong. Fluttershy told him while trying not to cry again that she is worried on what happened to Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Spike; saying that they went out to Sugarcube Corner to pick up the cupcakes for the party and never returned.
"You haven't seen them have you?" Fluttershy asked.
Discord turned his head to face away from the group and chuckled softly. He cleared his throat and turned back around being professional. "No, I haven't. I just got back into town."
"From where?" Applejack spoke up.
"Uh, just a trip to some place," was Discord's reply. He made a black top hat and cup of tea appear. He took a sip of the tea from the yellow rimmed glass cup while remaining professional like an English gentleman.
Fluttershy's group whispered amongst to themselves finding something fishy. They were making secret claims that Discord might have something to do with Twilight's disappearance. Fluttershy turned to them and said: "Come on guys. He's reformed," she tried reminding them. "Discord's not bad anymore."
"Exactly," Discord snapped his finger and a bouquet of flowers appeared on the ground in front of Fluttershy.
Fluttershy picked up the bouquet and smiled warmly at Discord. "Thank you, Discord. That's very sweet of you."
Discord bowed dramatically, tipping his top hat. "Anything for my dear friend," he said with a flourish.
Rainbow Dash, however, wasn't convinced. "I don't know, Fluttershy. Something just doesn't add up," she muttered, eyeing Discord suspiciously.
"Don't be ridiculous, Dash," Fluttershy started to get agitated by the claims. She stepped in front of Discord. "He wouldn't hurt a fly." She looked up at him innocently. "I know you're innocent, Discord."
Discord nodded in agreement.
Rainbow Dash kept eyeing the draconquus as if she can smell his lie. She knew Discord was lying about knowing the ware abbots of Twilight and Pinkie Pie. He probably had something to deal with them.
"Where are they Discord?" Rainbow Dash annoyingly asked. Her hooves were crossed across her chest, waiting for Discord to come clean.
The old Draconequus started sweating a little bit. But still kept a straight composure. "I told you, I haven't seen them."
Rainbow Dash bolted in front of his face, yelling. "Talk!"
Discord's eyes darted around nervously, searching for an escape. Fluttershy placed a gentle hoof on Rainbow Dash's shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Rainbow, please. Let's not jump to conclusions."
Rainbow Dash huffed but took a step back, giving Discord a moment to breathe. "Fine. But I'm not letting him off the hook."
Discord took a deep breath, his mismatched eyes meeting Fluttershy's. "Thank you, Fluttershy. But I promise, I don't know where they are."
"Ok..." Rainbow Dash was still glaring at Discord, her eyes not leaving his until she was a good distance from him as the group walked on.
When the group disappeared around a corner, Chrysalis and the rest of the gang emerged from the bushes looking upset and confused.
"What! Why didn't you thrash that blue pony?!" Chrysalis near shouted.
Discord tried reasoning. "Well I couldn't in front of Fluttershy."
"So what! Bash that soft one on the head. Don't just give her flowers!"
"Don't worry," Discord assured. "Those flowers aren't just regular flowers. They're flowers that Fluttershy so happens to be severely allergic to."
Chrysalis' eyes narrowed, her disbelief turning to a simmering rage. "Allergic? You gave her flowers knowing she's allergic?" Her voice was low, a dangerous growl under the surface.
Discord smirked, his mischief evident. "Precisely. A little chaos, a touch of irony. It's all about balance, you know?" He gestured dramatically. "Besides, it's not like she'll die or anything. Just a bit of sneezing, watery eyes, and maybe a rash. It'll be fun to watch."
"Is that the worse you could really think of," said Nightmare Moon.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy couldn't stop sneezing as she stood beside her friends. They were standing outside Sugarcube Corner which was closed for the night. The store looked empty inside. Shining Armor was looking through the window, squinting.
"See anything?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah, just pure darkness," Shining Armor replied, stepping back.
"Ah. Achoo!" Fluttershy sneezed once again.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
As Fluttershy sneezed once more, Twilight Sparkle stepped forward, her horn glowing softly in the dim light. "Let me try something," she said, focusing her magic on the door of Sugarcube Corner. With a gentle push, the door creaked open, revealing the dark interior.
"Stay close, everypony," Twilight whispered, leading the way inside. The group cautiously followed, their hooves echoing on the wooden floor.
Pinkie Pie zoomed past everypony into the kitchen where a 3 boxes of packaged cupcakes sat next to the oven. She has them ride on her back with her back to Canderlot.
From beyond the bushes the villains watched. All except for Discord was growing frustrated. They found it irritating that all Discord did was not as harmful as they intended. Sombra was more furious than the other two.
"That does it!" King Sombra snapped. "I'm done playing games!" Watching the group head back, the almighty dark Crystal Empire ruler emerged from the shadows in front of the group. Using his dark magic he summoned a mallet which he used to swing at the manes and their friends.
When he missed, Discord felt a surge of energy to join him, summoning his own mallet to destroy the ponies with.
"What's the matter, friends?" Discord swung the mallet around a few more times like a golf club.
Discord then goes on A rampage while playing Ninth Symphony and Singing in The Rain.
The group manages to dodge Discord's violent attacks. The whole thing turns into a game of whack-a-mole.
"I'm singing in the rain," Discord sang. WHACK The mallet slammed into the side of Pinkie Pie making her scream out. "Ow!" The tap was hard, but not hard enough to crack a rib.
"Just singing in the rain." WHACK! The mallet then hit Rainbow Dash who failed to fly up and dodge the thing. "Hey!"
"What a glorious feeling and I'm happy again. Bah." He swung the mallet nearly striking Shining Armor but he moved out of the way just in time.
"I walk down the lane." WHACK! The mallet hit Applejack in the back of her knee.
"Where the happiness begins." Discord swung the mallet towards Fluttershy but she dodged it. She started to tear up, feeling scared and afraid of what has become of one her friends. One who would treat her nicely and care for her. What had came over him?
"Discord," Fluttershy struggles not to cry.
"And I'm singing.. I'm singing in the rain." Discord snaps his fingers which makes a rope tie all of the ponies together, excluding Fluttershy and Shining Armor for some reason. "DISCORD!" They all yelled at once.
"Oh no! What're we going to do now?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "it's hopeless for us now!" said Pinkie Pie. "We've all been captured and there's no way out!" said Rainbow Dash.
"There's no hope for us anymore." cries Fluttershy.
Shining Armor charged his horn and started fighting back. Discord and Sombra both dodged every attack. From out of nowhere hooves could be heard marching their way. Pinkie Pie and her friends were huddled together quivering in fear watching the battle.
"Where's Celestia and Luna when you need them!" Fluttershy sobbed.
Shining Armour was losing his battle. Discord and Sombra did everything they can do defeat him.
"Huff puff! I'm getting so tired out. I cannot go on! I can't go on any longer!" Shining Armour panted.
"This is it! We're doomed!" cries Pinkie Pie!
"I'm afraid you're right." agreed Twilight Sparkle!
That's right!" Discord grinned. "Face it. You're doomed." He was ready to put the white unicorn out of his misery with the help of his trusty mallet.
"Shiny do something!" His sister Twilight pleaded frantically.
"Can't... Sombra is much too powerful!" Shining Armor felt a sudden burst of magic surround his body stiffining him. Dark magic that came from the mighty King Sombra. His magic power was crushing him like a giant fist.
The ponies all held each other close preparing to meet their maker. The party was over. Discord lingered over the frightened five waiting to be flattened like a pancake. They watched as Discord raised the mallet high above his head. An evil grin smeared across his face. His red eyes glowing like a demons. Then...
ZAP "Ow!" A sudden burst of magic had attacked Sombra knocking him back.
ZAP "Ah!" Discord moaned dropping the mallet back. It crushed his tail causing him to immediately react by jumping while holding it. "Oh. Oh. Why you..."
More mysterious magic bursts lasered from what seemed like nowhere. The four ponies and lone dragon watched. They looked at Shining Armor thinking it was him who had finally broken free of Sombra's magic grasp and was attacking back, but he was laying on the cobblestone road panting and completely pained, m*.
"What in tarnation is going on?" Applejack said.
Rainbow Dash's eyes darted around, scanning the scene. "I don't know, AJ, but it's freaky!" She glanced at Twilight Sparkle, hoping the princess might have an explanation.
Twilight's brow furrowed in concentration. She raised a hoof, casting a spell to analyze the magical energy. "It's... unlike anything I've ever seen," she murmured, her voice filled with awe and confusion. "It's raw, chaotic, yet strangely... focused."
Rarity gasped, her eyes wide with alarm. "It's getting stronger! We need to do something!"
Suddenly, a bolt of magic struck the ground near them, causing a small explosion. The ponies and dragon scattered, their hearts pounding.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The mysterious bolts of magic continued as the ponies stayed closed to each other.
After that incident, the next day came. Twilight Sparkle told Princess Celestia and Princess Luna about what had happened the night prior leading to the party being cancelled. In response, Celestia had led Discord to a large empty theater like room where he was forced to lie down and was restrainted. Discord found this to be amusing and wondered what what was going to happen.
His happiness and devious excitement came to a halt when suddenly Beethoven's ninth symphony started playing over the theaters speakers so suddenly.
"What are you doing?" He asked. Celestia had hooked up a machine that was forcing the master of chaos himself to stare at a huge black screen in front of him that would soon be projecting a real nightmare.
"Tell me now, Discord. Is it true that you grouped up all the villains to destroy and kill all Equestrians?" Princess Luna asked. She was sitting in a booth on the top row of the theater with a film projector right behind her.
"Well, I mean, I wouldn't say kill. Maybe knock some sense into them," Discord replied, his eyes wide and staring forward at the screen.
"And why would you do that?" Celestia chimed in.
"I don't know. It's what I do," was Discord's response.
Celestia and Luna threw each other glances. Celestia walked up to the projection room of the theater, standing next to her sister. She flipped a switch on the projector and the screen lit up.
The screen at first started playing violent acts that Discord and the gang had did previously before. Even going as far as binding Princess Cadence while Queen Chrysalis kicked her in the back. She could be heard making muffled cries in the video. Discord continued watching unfazed, almost finding pleasure in what he was seeing.
Meanwhile, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna talked amongst to themselves quietly.
"Do you we really want to show what true evil is like?" Celestia was referring to a certian film of Equestria during the late 1930s/ early to mid 1940s that they had.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Luna took a deep breath and nodded. "We must. They need to understand the consequences of their actions."
Celestia hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Very well."
She adjusted the projector, and the screen flickered to a new scene. This time, it showed the aftermath of a battle. The once vibrant fields of Equestria were now scorched and barren. Buildings lay in ruins, and the cries of the wounded filled the air.
Discord's smile faded as he watched the devastation unfold. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his usual bravado replaced by a rare moment of introspection.
"Is this what you want, Discord?" Celestia's voice was calm but firm. "Is this the legacy you wish to leave behind?"
Discord's eyes darted to the screen and then back to Celestia. For the first time, he seemed at a loss for words.
He started to scream purely out of terror. "Stop it! Stop, please, I beg you!" He yelled. "This is sick. This is a sin. It's a sin. It's a sin. It's a sin! It's a sin!"
Celestia and Luna looked at each other for a second.
"Sin?" Celestia said. "What's all this about sin?"
Luna stepped forward, her eyes narrowing as she studied the trembling figure before them. "Explain yourself," she demanded, her voice cold and authoritative. "What sin do you speak of?"
The pony, still shaking, looked up at them with wide, fearful eyes. "The ritual… it's forbidden. It's against the natural order. You can't just tamper with life and death like this. It's… it's blasphemy!"
Discord continued to watch the screen at the violence being displayed as he was forced to. He felt the urge to blink but couldn't. The orchestral symphony of Ludwig Beethoven's ninth was still playing over the footage.
"I can't take it anymore! Beethoven did no harm to anyone! He just wrote music!" Discord screamed.
"Are you referring to the background score?" Celestia asked.
"Yes!" Was Discord's immediate response.
"You've heard Beethoven before?" Asked Princess Luna.
"Yes!" Discord screamed at the top of his lungs.
"So you're keen on music?" Celestia asked.
"Yes! Yes!" Discord frantically answered.
He was bound to go mad. He wanted to break free of the restraints holding him down. He couldn't move nothing but his fingers. He was completely powerless. Next door, the same torture method was used against King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis.
The images started to get worse as the film changed to show Equestria during a different time period that was much worse than it once was. Ponies on the screen were being tortured and massacred left and right.
Discord was tensing up badly. Losing all control over himself. Discord jumps out of a window in an attempt to commit suicide.
He lands on top of Fluttershy. Both Fluttershy and Discord are taken to the hospital. Discord wakes up.His whole body ached with pain.
Discord finds out he has no aversions to violence anymore. Sombra tells Discord he went though aversion therapy. Then he says he's sorry.
"Sorry. You're actually sorry," Discord was surprised to hear the words from such an evil unicorn.
"Yeah," Sombra said. "I've decided to give up enslaving ponies. I released them." He admitted.
Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalis approached nodding in agreement. "I think we've learned. Who knew that Equestria had seen worse days than what we've done." They both explained.
"It even scares me," Queen Chrysalis admitted. "And I'm the queen of millions of changelings."
Discord blinked, still processing the unexpected turn of events. "Well, I must say, this is quite the surprise. But a pleasant one," he said with a grin.
Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis exchanged glances, a sense of camaraderie forming between them. "We may have been villains, but even we have our limits," Nightmare Moon said softly.
"Equestria has faced enough darkness," Sombra added. "It's time for a new chapter."
Queen Chrysalis nodded. "A chapter where we work together to protect this land, rather than destroy it."
Discord's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Oh, this is going to be fun! Imagine the chaos we can create in the future"
The villains chuckled, feeling a strange sense of hope and unity. As they stood together, the sun began to rise, casting a warm glow over Equestria. It was a new dawn, a new beginning.
But deep down. They were still villains at heart.
It was a typical day in Ponyland. Twilight Sparkle was leading the way with her friends not too far behind.
Pinkie Pie seemed to be keeping everypony behind due to her constant talking and blabbering mouth. She was excited about a party at Canderlot that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence invited her too, as was the rest of the village.
"Ooh, what do I wear? What do I look like? I have to bring balloons. Will there be balloons? Maybe I'll bring cupcakes instead. Everypony loves cupcakes!" She blabbered on for so long that no-pony was listening to her at this point.
Fluttershy stayed very close to her friends when they came to passing by an old abandoned home. Just the eerie feeling made her feel scared and frightened about what hides alone in those dark empty rooms. The house sat on the edge of Ponyville next to a bustling shack where Granny Smith would occasionally on the weekends be selling fresh delicious apple pie at.
"Guys, do you think we can pick up the pace?" Said the nervous pegasus.
"Gee, Fluttershy. What's the matter this time?" Rainbow Dash was flying above her.
"It's just old houses are very unsettling and... gulp Ne-nerve racking," replied Fluttershy.
"Lemme guess, Discord's been flooding your mind with nightmares," Applejack said plainly.
"Speaking of. What ever happened to Discord?"
No-pony hasn't seen Discord in quite a while. It was nice that the mane-six could go out for a walk without having a run in with the master of chaos himself; but it felt eerily strange with him not around. It just seemed that one day he went up and disappeared. It might be a good thing since all they have to deal with now is King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis. At least that's 3 tyrant's they have to deal with.
Looking from inside an.unknown house. Discord sees The ponies walk by the house!
"Excellent! They'll be perfect for my experiments!" Send them in!
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Discord looked around the empty house realizing he was alone. "Oh, right."
Daylight was burning. The party was in a few hours. It would take a while to get the group together. Especially since Discord and Sombra had beef with each other after last times incident where during their last meeting, Discord (during a bored game he made up) poured boiling hot tea on the Crystal Empire's evil kings head when he was attempting to pour him more coffee. His chaotic nature couldn't be controlled and it just happened.
An hour later, he had all of the villains in Equestria inside the dark house with him. Ranging from King Sombra, the former ruler of the Crystal Empire who was damned to be overthrown again. His heart was made purely out of the crystal stone with the fear of his slaves inside. Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changelings which she uses to trick others into following her. Nightmare Moon, the corrupt sister of Princess Luna who is just jealous of all of the attention her sisters get. And Discord, the master of chaos himself who famously came close to overthrowing Princess Celestia and Luna only to fail and be enclosed in stone.
They all sat around a table with tea. Sombra was seated across from Discord and didn't take his eyes off him indicating he was still upset from the tea incident.
The group sat in silence for a minute as the voices of the mane six disappeared in the distance. They had to be sure they were away from every and anypony. They sat in silence, thinking. Thinking of ways to conquer everypony.
"We could harvest their souls, trap them, and banish them to Tartarus like they've done with us!" Nightmare Moon suggested. She had a tendency to be dark at times. Especially since she was growing more and more deep into a state of pure evil.
"Please." King Sombra scoffed.
"Or we could scare the living daylights out of them until everypony flees and never returns!" She suggested.
"That would never work," Discord said. His chin rested on his first as he thought. "We'd just be overthrown once again by those fools."
The group continued to brainstorm ideas. Some sounded foolish, some sounded quite good, and some sounded too harsh. King Sombra had an idea to take everypony and have them work under their power, claiming it's how he got everypony to fear him. Queen Chrysalis reminded him that it wouldn't work with how powerful all the ponies are combined.
Discord kept silent as the three chatted. Then he remembered something. Something that he kind of regretted doing. Since he has the ability to travel to different dimensions... He remembered visiting one. When he arrived he was greeted with the sounds of whipping, singing, and screams of agony.
He recalled witnessing from afar, a man in the shadows surrounded by 3 other people, beating and just destroying what looked to be like an old hobo who lived under an overpass. Discord could still see the image in his head. The whip smacking. The man screaming. A large black cane being driven into the old guy's gut. It was a gruesome sight. Too much for him to take. But it did give him an idea. Maybe something less excruciating. But an idea to punish the ponies.
It was perfect. At least to him.
"I've got it," Discord snapped his finger.
The group turned their attention to him.
"Please, tell us what your plan might be," said King Sombra. He'd expected for the Draconequus to come up with something silly or ridiculous that would only work for a day or two before they'd be banished.
"I recalled seeing this movie," Discord explained. "It came back out in the early 70s. It involves a young innocent teen named Alex DeLarge. He had this gang and would go around..." It took him a second to come up with an alternative word for "kill." "Cause mass destruction of innocent people. Like really messing them up."
"Oh, please," Queen Chrysalis rolled her eyes. Like she wasn't already doing that. For Celestia's sake she was a queen of minions who do the same thing Discord was talking about.
"But it was in a way..." Discord continued. He really has to be careful of his words of choice. Damn Fluttershy and her friends for reforming him, showing him the path of friendship. "In a way that really... Scarred them." He acted like a gentleman. Leaning back. His hands together. Eyes closed. "Or knocked them unconscious for say a long time."
"We're listening," Queen Chrysalis grinned devilish.
The trio seemed intrigued. They took a minute to think about it.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Queen Chrysalias says, "Want to know what I think".
Discord asks, " what is your opinion on this?"
Queen Chrysalias approves, "I love it! We'll give those ponies exactly what they need".
Discord says, "1970s moves are excellent inspiration"! " Yeah, better than social media!".
Queen Chrysalias says, "what are we waiting for? These ponies minds are going to become A pound of flesh".
It was an hour before the party. While Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie stayed behind in Canderlot to help set up everything. Twilight and Spike were sent to get one more special thing. That was the 24-pack of cupcakes that Pinkie Pie left on the counter at Sugarcube Corner.
The duo walked casually down the cobblestone roads. Night was coming fast. The streetlights were already lit. Hidden in the shadows around the corner, the group of Equestria's most dangerous tyrannts awaited. Discord wanted to be the first to strike, but Sombra insisted he'd be the first to take a shot since he was seen as more dangerous, vicious, and threatening.
The sound of Twilight's hoofs clip-clopping echoed down the road. It sounded as if she was getting close. Closer to her doom.
"Wait," Nightmare Moon whisperes. "We can't be seen like this. "What do you mean?" Queen Chrysalis says.
"Well nevertheless they'll spot us". Nightmare Moon says. " Yeah you're right. We have to get them when they least expect it ". Queen Chrysalias agrees.
Hiding away where the ponies can't find them. Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalias set a trap for the ponies.
" We'll need to catch them.". Queen Chrysalias told him. "But how? Got any ideas?". Asked Nightmare Moon.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
With the help of chaotic magic, Discord snapped his fingers. A tripwire appeared right in front of Twilight. She didn't notice it until it was too late. "Oof!" She said, stumbling forward. Spike fell off her back landing on his back.
The other villains stayed back as Discord came out of the shadows dressed in a black tuxedo complete with a cane. "Top of the evenin' to ya Twilight. Spike." Said Discord ever so calmly, trying to sound innocent.
Twilight stood back up as so did Spike. "Oh, Discord," said Twilight. "I didn't know you were here."
"Can I ask what such a pony like you is doing out at this hour?" Said Discord. "Especially with a young innocent dragon." He gently patted Spike's head.
"Well.. Pinkie Pie was supposed to bring cupcakes but forgot. So." Twilight explained.
"Cupcakes. For what?" Discord asked curiously. He was waiting for the right moment to strike. He didn't know when it would be right to.
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie tell Discord, "Do you know where we can find some cupcakes".
"Sure, why not! I know exactly where" Discord implied.
"Really? Can you show us?". Asks Twilight Sparkle.
" Absolutely! There is a grocery store bot too far away from here! Follow me ". Discord orders.
" Yes! We'll get our cupcakes in no time!". Twilight Sparkle said. "We also need more supplies for the party too!". Pinkie Pie reminded.
Discord kindly led Twilight and Spike down a path that was dark. Branches hung low. The moonlight barely lighting their path.
"Are you sure the shop's this way?" Spike asks Discord.
"It's a shortcut," Discord replied.
Something smelt fishy. Spike and Twilight could both sense it. At the end of the path, Queen Chrysalis, Kind Sombra, and Nightmare Moon waited for the trio, horns glowing, dark magic waiting to be used.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Twilight Sparkle says, "hey!. There's no grocery store around here."
"You know something? Twilight is right. We should've seen one by now.". Protested Pinkie Pie.
" I don't see any stores at all!". Spike implies.
Queen Chrysalias and King Sombra make their decision to trap them!
"Now!" Nightmare Moon ordered. The rest of the gang cornered Twilight and Spike. Their horns still glowing and ready to zap them.
Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Pinkie Pie are in consumed in a trap for which they can't get out of.
"The ends justify the means" laughs Discord!
Wha... How..." Twilight was confused on what was going on. She was surrounded by a large purple bubble forcefield that not even her magic could destroy it.
And that time the group of villains chuckled as they closed in on the two. Discord snapped his finger and the purple bubble burst into a goo slime which held the dragon and purple pony down as Discord; now armed with a crocuet mallet threw a few practice swings like he was playing golf before.. WHACK! The mallet slammed harshly into the side of the purple pony's side.
Twilight let out a gasp of pain. Her side started to throb with pain. The hit wasn't as hard as what Discord intended; but it was hard enough to stun.
Discord chuckled.
Spike sat up. "Hey! You can't do that!" He shouted. He charged at Discord who just yawned and swung the mallet just before the young dragon could reach him. It was a light smack on the nose. "Ow!" Spike said rubbing his little nose. Then he got angry. "Alright. Now you're in for it."
"Oh, I'm really scared. I'm being threatened by a little wimpy dragon," said Discord fakely. He let out a laugh. Twilight got up and stepped forward, pushing Spike back.
Spike and Discord were now having a terrible fight. Whenever Spike tried to strike Discord, he kept dodging back.
"Does this bug you? Does this bug you? Does this bug you? Im not touching you"/ Discord taunted Spike.
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were struggling in the goo. " Please Spike! Defend our honor". Pinkie Pie pleaded.
"Its no use. Spike is sunk and so are we.". Twilight Sparkle bemoaned
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
So it was. Twilight Sparkle and Spike. Trapped and nearly beaten to unconscious by Discord. Nightmare Moon and the gang watched from behind a bush.
"You.." Spike struggled. "You monster. You were reformed." He struggled in the slime. His chest slowly moved up and down with each breath. Twilight's side was still throbbing in pain from the crocuet mallet.
"Reformed. REFORMED!" Discord let out an evil laugh. "Fools. I've only pretended to be reformed. Though, Fluttershy... Ah, well, she's not here anyway." He stepped back, allowing for the other members to have their turn torturing the trapped two. Twilight Sparkle struggled to get her horn to glow. Spike fought hard against the slime, twisting and turning. It felt like a giant slimy tentacle was holding him down.
"You won't get away with this Discord!" Spike shouted. "When everypony finds out who did this, you'll be sorry!"
Discord puts a device on both Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie.
"Oh no! What's happening to us!!!" Shrieked Twilight Sparkle.
Discord along with Queen Chrysalias also puts metal bindings on their eyelids
"Use these too!'. Saud Queen Chrysalias..
"Not the eyes! Please not the eyes too!". Screamed Pinkie Pie.
Spike still in the slime shouts, " Whatever you're doing. It won't bring you happiness "
"Happiness," Discord giggled. "This is hilarious." He brought his head down to the dragons face. "And what are you going to do about it?"
Spike spat at Discord face. But Discord eats his spit.
"Saliva! Yum! Delicious!". Discord smiled.
" Lets turn on the machine "! Queen Chrysalias ordered. Discord turns on the machine.
"What are you doing?!" Twilight demanded, her voice hinted with sheer terror and fear. Immediately the machine shocks her. Discord and the group together watching. The machine was like a shock collar but with 5x worse electricty. With each shock her body convulsed slightly. Twilight tried to speak, but the machine kept zapping her neck in short sharp shocks. "Niff. Neh. Eh." Was the sounds she could make with her teeth clenched tightly together.
"Stop it!" Spike shouted as he started to sink into the puddle of slime. It was obvious was going to be drowned.
Twilight continued to convulse with each shock. Her horn lit up as she struggled to get the device off from her neck.
Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis watched with delight, but felt as if the torture was too much. They didn't want to actually kill off the ponies, but just torture them to a point where they would never be messed with again.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Feel the terror from within!". Queen Chrysalias said. " Dont worry! We're not going to make you die "! Said Sombra.
Nightmare Moon chimes in, " I love the smell of boiling pony blood"!
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were in extreme pain from being shocked so many times. Spike began to sink some more into the slime.
His mouth was barley above. He kept calm as he let his body sink almost as if he was submitting.
"Alright, that's enough," said Discord, snapping his fingers stopping everything. The collar stopped shocking leaving Twilight on the ground panting. Spike was left in fear. His body shaking slightly. His eyes kept shut tight accepting his fate.
"Well, 3 down, only another few to go," Discord stated.
"Excellent," Nightmare Moon grinned. "Where to now?"
"Can we go now?" Spike asked fearfully.
"Your torture is over," Discord told the young dragon. "But I'll leave you three here to relax. Maybe come back later.." He started to smirk at the idea of more torture methods. Then just like that, the group of villains left. Sombra, Chrysalis, and Nightmare stomped over Twilight and Spike as they followed the dirt path with the guidance of the moonlight to town.
Their mission was to pose as nice people at the party that they overheard about, get the cupcakes, show up, pretend to be nice, then cause mass destruction: Absolutely obliterating the place which the party is held at.
Meanwhile, back in Canderlot, the party was still being set up. Banners and streamers hung high across the ceiling. Tables with white cloths alined the walls with gifts and snacks. One table had a large chocolate fountain with a bowl of freshly picked strawberries next to it.
In a corner, Shining Armor and Fluttershy were pumping helium into a pack of balloons. "Whoops." Shining Armor's grip slipped on one of the balloons, causing it to fly everywhere, landing in a bowl of fruit punch.
"What is taking Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie so long?". wondered Fluttershy.
" Sorry, just distracted. ". Shining Armor said. " You're right. They should've been here by now.". Shining Armour added.
"They should've been back with the party supplies by now.". Fluttershy tells Shiny Armour.
Applejack went to try the punch. She choked on the balloon that deflated into the punch.
" Oh no! Applejack,! ". Fluttershy screamed. " Lets try to help!". Shining Armour demanded.
Fluttershy ran to her friend and immediately began giving her the heimlich remover. She pumped her hooves hard against Applejack's stomach until she coughed the balloon out. It launched out of her mouth and into Shining Armor's face. "Ew." He said. The balloon slid down landing on the floor with a soft wet slap.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asks.
"Yeah." Applejack coughs.
"I'm getting worried about Twilight. It's been nearly an hour since they left," Shining Armor stated.
"I know," Applejack agreed. "It isn't usual for her to be late like this." She stood next to Shining Armor.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The ponies debated whether or not they should go look for their friends.
"Guess this means we have to postpone the party.". Applejack speaks out.
Fluttershy agrees, " Its the least we can do."
"What we ought to do is follow their tracks.". Shining Armour boasted.
Applejack announces to all the other ponies. " We're all going to look for Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. Hold the fort until we all get back."
Fluttershy, Applejack, and Shining Armour all went to search for Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie.
And so they set. Down the empty cold dark cobblestone streets alone with only a few streetlamps and light from the moon guiding their path. Their clip-clops seemed to echo throughout with each step they took. Shining Armor stayed in front ahead a bit with Rainbow Dash flying above him searching high and low like a hawk.
"I hope nothing bad happened to them," said Fluttershy.
"Me too," Shining Armor nodded in agreement.
The group was unawared that behind a bush. The group of four terrifying ponies would be stalking their every move. Eyeing them like a hawk with its prey. They made sure to stay low so if anypony threw a glance around they could easily duck without being seen.
Fluttershy stopped for a second and threw a glance at the bushes. Discord and the gang f* to avoid being seen. Fluttershy continued staring at the bushes, looking as almost as if she was in a daze.
"She's staring this way," Queen Chrysalis said in a low whisper.
"Would you shut up!" King Sombra growled softly.
They hoped that Fluttershy hadn't caught them. They waited a minute. Fluttershy turned her head back forward and continued walking.
"We need to move forward.". Fluttershy says. " Won't rest until they're found"! Said Shining Armour.
It was until then Fluttershy got a glimpse out of the corner of her eye. "Did you see something?". asked Shining Armour.
"I thought I did," she responded.
"Where?"
"Over there." Fluttershy pointed to the bushes to the right of them.
Shining Armour and Fluttershy look to where she thought she saw something. Queen Chrysalias and King Somba were still hiding away.
"Good thing she didn't see us." Queen Chrysalias says. "That was too close" King Somba gasps.
"Where could they be! Where could they be!" Fluttershy began to cry. "Don't worry, we're going to find them!" said Shining Armour. "We've been doing for what it seemed like hours and still know sign of them!" Fluttershy said and then went on. "Not only that, we have a party and everyone else is waiting for it to start!"
Shining Armour just stood there and let Fluttershy have her meltdown.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Hey, it's alright. The party's still on," Shining Armor assures Fluttershy. He held up a tissue and allowed her to blow her nose: Then they moved on.
Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle and Spike struggled to get up. Spike managed to crawl to Twilight and hoist himself up, then helped Twilight up who was still sore from the shock and smack. "Thanks, Spike," she said.
"I don't believe it," Spike said.
"What?" Twilight rubbed her head.
"That isn't like Discord and King Sombra," he complained. "It's not like them at all. I mean, I know they're cruel. But they're not that cruel."
"I don't know, Spike. All I know is that I need to lie down," said Twilight Sparkle. Her head throbbed as so did her side. She had a headache and found it hard to keep her balance. She leaned against Spike as they made their way to Sugarcube Corner right as they were about to close for the night.
Spike collected the 4 dozens of cupcakes and started journeying back to Canderlot.
Meanwhile, Discord and the gang were secretly following Shining Armor and his group while being hidden in the bushes. The leaves beneath their hooves crunched softly as twigs snapped in harsh crack sounds.
"Easy now," Discord told the three. "We don't wanna get caught."
"Well sorry," said Chrysalis sarcasticly.
As the group continued their journey, the tension in the air was palpable. Shining Armor kept a watchful eye on Fluttershy, who was still sniffling but trying her best to stay composed.
"Are you feeling any better?" he asked gently.
Fluttershy nodded, though her eyes were still red. "A little. Thank you, Shining Armor."
"What's your next plan Mr. Master of chaos?" King Sombra asked.
We'll get them next!" Discord suggested. "How are we going to trap them?" asked Queen Chrysalis. "I think I know." said Discord deviously.
As the group came into Ponyville, Discord jumped from the bushes, flying high in the sky before bolting back down in front of Fluttershy and Shining Armor.
"Oh, Discord," Fluttershy said with a smile.
"Fluttershy," Discord smiled, trying to hide his dark side. He went in and hugged his best friend. He noticed she had been crying and asked what was wrong. Fluttershy told him while trying not to cry again that she is worried on what happened to Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Spike; saying that they went out to Sugarcube Corner to pick up the cupcakes for the party and never returned.
"You haven't seen them have you?" Fluttershy asked.
Discord turned his head to face away from the group and chuckled softly. He cleared his throat and turned back around being professional. "No, I haven't. I just got back into town."
"From where?" Applejack spoke up.
"Uh, just a trip to some place," was Discord's reply. He made a black top hat and cup of tea appear. He took a sip of the tea from the yellow rimmed glass cup while remaining professional like an English gentleman.
Fluttershy's group whispered amongst to themselves finding something fishy. They were making secret claims that Discord might have something to do with Twilight's disappearance. Fluttershy turned to them and said: "Come on guys. He's reformed," she tried reminding them. "Discord's not bad anymore."
"Exactly," Discord snapped his finger and a bouquet of flowers appeared on the ground in front of Fluttershy.
Fluttershy picked up the bouquet and smiled warmly at Discord. "Thank you, Discord. That's very sweet of you."
Discord bowed dramatically, tipping his top hat. "Anything for my dear friend," he said with a flourish.
Rainbow Dash, however, wasn't convinced. "I don't know, Fluttershy. Something just doesn't add up," she muttered, eyeing Discord suspiciously.
"Don't be ridiculous, Dash," Fluttershy started to get agitated by the claims. She stepped in front of Discord. "He wouldn't hurt a fly." She looked up at him innocently. "I know you're innocent, Discord."
Discord nodded in agreement.
Rainbow Dash kept eyeing the draconquus as if she can smell his lie. She knew Discord was lying about knowing the ware abbots of Twilight and Pinkie Pie. He probably had something to deal with them.
"Where are they Discord?" Rainbow Dash annoyingly asked. Her hooves were crossed across her chest, waiting for Discord to come clean.
The old Draconequus started sweating a little bit. But still kept a straight composure. "I told you, I haven't seen them."
Rainbow Dash bolted in front of his face, yelling. "Talk!"
Discord's eyes darted around nervously, searching for an escape. Fluttershy placed a gentle hoof on Rainbow Dash's shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Rainbow, please. Let's not jump to conclusions."
Rainbow Dash huffed but took a step back, giving Discord a moment to breathe. "Fine. But I'm not letting him off the hook."
Discord took a deep breath, his mismatched eyes meeting Fluttershy's. "Thank you, Fluttershy. But I promise, I don't know where they are."
"Ok..." Rainbow Dash was still glaring at Discord, her eyes not leaving his until she was a good distance from him as the group walked on.
When the group disappeared around a corner, Chrysalis and the rest of the gang emerged from the bushes looking upset and confused.
"What! Why didn't you thrash that blue pony?!" Chrysalis near shouted.
Discord tried reasoning. "Well I couldn't in front of Fluttershy."
"So what! Bash that soft one on the head. Don't just give her flowers!"
"Don't worry," Discord assured. "Those flowers aren't just regular flowers. They're flowers that Fluttershy so happens to be severely allergic to."
Chrysalis' eyes narrowed, her disbelief turning to a simmering rage. "Allergic? You gave her flowers knowing she's allergic?" Her voice was low, a dangerous growl under the surface.
Discord smirked, his mischief evident. "Precisely. A little chaos, a touch of irony. It's all about balance, you know?" He gestured dramatically. "Besides, it's not like she'll die or anything. Just a bit of sneezing, watery eyes, and maybe a rash. It'll be fun to watch."
"Is that the worse you could really think of," said Nightmare Moon.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy couldn't stop sneezing as she stood beside her friends. They were standing outside Sugarcube Corner which was closed for the night. The store looked empty inside. Shining Armor was looking through the window, squinting.
"See anything?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yeah, just pure darkness," Shining Armor replied, stepping back.
"Ah. Achoo!" Fluttershy sneezed once again.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
As Fluttershy sneezed once more, Twilight Sparkle stepped forward, her horn glowing softly in the dim light. "Let me try something," she said, focusing her magic on the door of Sugarcube Corner. With a gentle push, the door creaked open, revealing the dark interior.
"Stay close, everypony," Twilight whispered, leading the way inside. The group cautiously followed, their hooves echoing on the wooden floor.
Pinkie Pie zoomed past everypony into the kitchen where a 3 boxes of packaged cupcakes sat next to the oven. She has them ride on her back with her back to Canderlot.
From beyond the bushes the villains watched. All except for Discord was growing frustrated. They found it irritating that all Discord did was not as harmful as they intended. Sombra was more furious than the other two.
"That does it!" King Sombra snapped. "I'm done playing games!" Watching the group head back, the almighty dark Crystal Empire ruler emerged from the shadows in front of the group. Using his dark magic he summoned a mallet which he used to swing at the manes and their friends.
When he missed, Discord felt a surge of energy to join him, summoning his own mallet to destroy the ponies with.
"What's the matter, friends?" Discord swung the mallet around a few more times like a golf club.
Discord then goes on A rampage while playing Ninth Symphony and Singing in The Rain.
The group manages to dodge Discord's violent attacks. The whole thing turns into a game of whack-a-mole.
"I'm singing in the rain," Discord sang. WHACK The mallet slammed into the side of Pinkie Pie making her scream out. "Ow!" The tap was hard, but not hard enough to crack a rib.
"Just singing in the rain." WHACK! The mallet then hit Rainbow Dash who failed to fly up and dodge the thing. "Hey!"
"What a glorious feeling and I'm happy again. Bah." He swung the mallet nearly striking Shining Armor but he moved out of the way just in time.
"I walk down the lane." WHACK! The mallet hit Applejack in the back of her knee.
"Where the happiness begins." Discord swung the mallet towards Fluttershy but she dodged it. She started to tear up, feeling scared and afraid of what has become of one her friends. One who would treat her nicely and care for her. What had came over him?
"Discord," Fluttershy struggles not to cry.
"And I'm singing.. I'm singing in the rain." Discord snaps his fingers which makes a rope tie all of the ponies together, excluding Fluttershy and Shining Armor for some reason. "DISCORD!" They all yelled at once.
"Oh no! What're we going to do now?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "it's hopeless for us now!" said Pinkie Pie. "We've all been captured and there's no way out!" said Rainbow Dash.
"There's no hope for us anymore." cries Fluttershy.
Shining Armor charged his horn and started fighting back. Discord and Sombra both dodged every attack. From out of nowhere hooves could be heard marching their way. Pinkie Pie and her friends were huddled together quivering in fear watching the battle.
"Where's Celestia and Luna when you need them!" Fluttershy sobbed.
Shining Armour was losing his battle. Discord and Sombra did everything they can do defeat him.
"Huff puff! I'm getting so tired out. I cannot go on! I can't go on any longer!" Shining Armour panted.
"This is it! We're doomed!" cries Pinkie Pie!
"I'm afraid you're right." agreed Twilight Sparkle!
That's right!" Discord grinned. "Face it. You're doomed." He was ready to put the white unicorn out of his misery with the help of his trusty mallet.
"Shiny do something!" His sister Twilight pleaded frantically.
"Can't... Sombra is much too powerful!" Shining Armor felt a sudden burst of magic surround his body stiffining him. Dark magic that came from the mighty King Sombra. His magic power was crushing him like a giant fist.
The ponies all held each other close preparing to meet their maker. The party was over. Discord lingered over the frightened five waiting to be flattened like a pancake. They watched as Discord raised the mallet high above his head. An evil grin smeared across his face. His red eyes glowing like a demons. Then...
ZAP "Ow!" A sudden burst of magic had attacked Sombra knocking him back.
ZAP "Ah!" Discord moaned dropping the mallet back. It crushed his tail causing him to immediately react by jumping while holding it. "Oh. Oh. Why you..."
More mysterious magic bursts lasered from what seemed like nowhere. The four ponies and lone dragon watched. They looked at Shining Armor thinking it was him who had finally broken free of Sombra's magic grasp and was attacking back, but he was laying on the cobblestone road panting and completely pained, m*.
"What in tarnation is going on?" Applejack said.
Rainbow Dash's eyes darted around, scanning the scene. "I don't know, AJ, but it's freaky!" She glanced at Twilight Sparkle, hoping the princess might have an explanation.
Twilight's brow furrowed in concentration. She raised a hoof, casting a spell to analyze the magical energy. "It's... unlike anything I've ever seen," she murmured, her voice filled with awe and confusion. "It's raw, chaotic, yet strangely... focused."
Rarity gasped, her eyes wide with alarm. "It's getting stronger! We need to do something!"
Suddenly, a bolt of magic struck the ground near them, causing a small explosion. The ponies and dragon scattered, their hearts pounding.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The mysterious bolts of magic continued as the ponies stayed closed to each other.
After that incident, the next day came. Twilight Sparkle told Princess Celestia and Princess Luna about what had happened the night prior leading to the party being cancelled. In response, Celestia had led Discord to a large empty theater like room where he was forced to lie down and was restrainted. Discord found this to be amusing and wondered what what was going to happen.
His happiness and devious excitement came to a halt when suddenly Beethoven's ninth symphony started playing over the theaters speakers so suddenly.
"What are you doing?" He asked. Celestia had hooked up a machine that was forcing the master of chaos himself to stare at a huge black screen in front of him that would soon be projecting a real nightmare.
"Tell me now, Discord. Is it true that you grouped up all the villains to destroy and kill all Equestrians?" Princess Luna asked. She was sitting in a booth on the top row of the theater with a film projector right behind her.
"Well, I mean, I wouldn't say kill. Maybe knock some sense into them," Discord replied, his eyes wide and staring forward at the screen.
"And why would you do that?" Celestia chimed in.
"I don't know. It's what I do," was Discord's response.
Celestia and Luna threw each other glances. Celestia walked up to the projection room of the theater, standing next to her sister. She flipped a switch on the projector and the screen lit up.
The screen at first started playing violent acts that Discord and the gang had did previously before. Even going as far as binding Princess Cadence while Queen Chrysalis kicked her in the back. She could be heard making muffled cries in the video. Discord continued watching unfazed, almost finding pleasure in what he was seeing.
Meanwhile, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna talked amongst to themselves quietly.
"Do you we really want to show what true evil is like?" Celestia was referring to a certian film of Equestria during the late 1930s/ early to mid 1940s that they had.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Luna took a deep breath and nodded. "We must. They need to understand the consequences of their actions."
Celestia hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Very well."
She adjusted the projector, and the screen flickered to a new scene. This time, it showed the aftermath of a battle. The once vibrant fields of Equestria were now scorched and barren. Buildings lay in ruins, and the cries of the wounded filled the air.
Discord's smile faded as he watched the devastation unfold. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his usual bravado replaced by a rare moment of introspection.
"Is this what you want, Discord?" Celestia's voice was calm but firm. "Is this the legacy you wish to leave behind?"
Discord's eyes darted to the screen and then back to Celestia. For the first time, he seemed at a loss for words.
He started to scream purely out of terror. "Stop it! Stop, please, I beg you!" He yelled. "This is sick. This is a sin. It's a sin. It's a sin. It's a sin! It's a sin!"
Celestia and Luna looked at each other for a second.
"Sin?" Celestia said. "What's all this about sin?"
Luna stepped forward, her eyes narrowing as she studied the trembling figure before them. "Explain yourself," she demanded, her voice cold and authoritative. "What sin do you speak of?"
The pony, still shaking, looked up at them with wide, fearful eyes. "The ritual… it's forbidden. It's against the natural order. You can't just tamper with life and death like this. It's… it's blasphemy!"
Discord continued to watch the screen at the violence being displayed as he was forced to. He felt the urge to blink but couldn't. The orchestral symphony of Ludwig Beethoven's ninth was still playing over the footage.
"I can't take it anymore! Beethoven did no harm to anyone! He just wrote music!" Discord screamed.
"Are you referring to the background score?" Celestia asked.
"Yes!" Was Discord's immediate response.
"You've heard Beethoven before?" Asked Princess Luna.
"Yes!" Discord screamed at the top of his lungs.
"So you're keen on music?" Celestia asked.
"Yes! Yes!" Discord frantically answered.
He was bound to go mad. He wanted to break free of the restraints holding him down. He couldn't move nothing but his fingers. He was completely powerless. Next door, the same torture method was used against King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis.
The images started to get worse as the film changed to show Equestria during a different time period that was much worse than it once was. Ponies on the screen were being tortured and massacred left and right.
Discord was tensing up badly. Losing all control over himself. Discord jumps out of a window in an attempt to commit suicide.
He lands on top of Fluttershy. Both Fluttershy and Discord are taken to the hospital. Discord wakes up.His whole body ached with pain.
Discord finds out he has no aversions to violence anymore. Sombra tells Discord he went though aversion therapy. Then he says he's sorry.
"Sorry. You're actually sorry," Discord was surprised to hear the words from such an evil unicorn.
"Yeah," Sombra said. "I've decided to give up enslaving ponies. I released them." He admitted.
Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalis approached nodding in agreement. "I think we've learned. Who knew that Equestria had seen worse days than what we've done." They both explained.
"It even scares me," Queen Chrysalis admitted. "And I'm the queen of millions of changelings."
Discord blinked, still processing the unexpected turn of events. "Well, I must say, this is quite the surprise. But a pleasant one," he said with a grin.
Sombra, Nightmare Moon, and Queen Chrysalis exchanged glances, a sense of camaraderie forming between them. "We may have been villains, but even we have our limits," Nightmare Moon said softly.
"Equestria has faced enough darkness," Sombra added. "It's time for a new chapter."
Queen Chrysalis nodded. "A chapter where we work together to protect this land, rather than destroy it."
Discord's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Oh, this is going to be fun! Imagine the chaos we can create in the future"
The villains chuckled, feeling a strange sense of hope and unity. As they stood together, the sun began to rise, casting a warm glow over Equestria. It was a new dawn, a new beginning.
But deep down. They were still villains at heart.
