Discord: Draconequus Log, #144. It was the worst of times to ever happen to us. When we were rescuing our friends alongside Daring Do, Ahuizotl and Caballeron captured us and threw us into the blue monster's dungeon.
The rescue party is indeed trapped. Discord, Garble, and Spike are locked in a prison cell with bars that are blocking out Discord's powers (Ahuizotl said that they're vengestone from a far-off land). And outside of the cell watching them are Daring Do, Rainbow Dash, Caballeron and his three goons, and Ahuizotl.
"This just isn't my day," Garble grumbled.
"Oh, and it's only going to get to get worse before it gets better, jalapeno breath," Ahuizotl chuckled, making the red dragon growl at the insult.
"You don't scare me, Ahui-zitful," Rainbow yelled, flying up into his face.
"Rainbow, take it easy," Daring warned, but the Pony of Loyalty was too busy zipping around the annoyed ape-jackal's head with her front hooves up to box with him.
"C'mon, ya big lug! I'm not scared of ya! Whacha think of that?" Ahuizotl only smirked at her before holding up with his tail a tribal staff with a couple of autumn-colored gourds and some dark-colored gems tied to the top end.
"I think you should join your amigos…as a statue!" He then shot his staff's end at her, and dark vapors shot out of its crystals before swirling around Rainbow, who cried out with shock.
"No!" Daring cried, wanting to help her friend but is held back by Caballeron's goons.
"Rainbow!" Spike cried as he, Discord, and Garble watched in horror. They then watched as Rainbow was then turned into a red ruby statue that fell to the ground.
"Rainbow, no!" Daring cried, rushing up to statue. "Oh, Rainbow!"
"And she is not the only one with an ill-fated future, Daring Do," Caballeron said, walking up to a button beside the bars. "For our breakfast special, we will be serving…dragon pancakes." He then pressed the button, and the trapped trio cried out when the cell walls started to close in on them. Ahuizotl chuckled evilly as they tried to hold the moving walls back.
"Oh, no!" daring cried, shooting up to her hooves and feeling powerless to help them after all that's happened. "Please, Ahuizotl! I'll do anything you want! Anything if you let them go!" The ape-jackal slyly turned to her in reply.
"Anything?" he asked, gently taking her hoof with his tail. "Like marry me?" The three prisoners turned to him with shock as Daring's face went red.
"Marry you?!" Discord and Spike cried as Garble threw up at the side.
"I'm not cleaning that up without my magic," Discord said flatly with a wrinkled face.
"With you as my bride," Ahuizotl said to Daring as he walked around behind her, "I will have legal control of the Valley of Tenochtitlan you have sworn to protect. True, you will still protect it, but you will not do it alone after I have claimed victory."
"Don't do it, Daring," Discord growled as he tried to hold back the walls with his hands and tail. "We'll get ya outta this…somehow."
"How are we gonna do that?" asked the struggling Spike.
"I'll…I'll think of something!"
"In that case, we're definitely dead meat," Garble grumbled.
"Don't make me loosen these walls!"
"Alright! Alright!" Daring cried, not wanting the trapped trio to get crushed. "I'll do it!" Ahuizotl smiled at her in reply.
"I knew you couldn't resist me," he purred, almost making Garble throw up again.
"As long as you promise that you will free Discord, Spike, and Garble and restore Rainbow and the others back to life," she added firmly.
"Tell you what," he replied. "I will restore Rainbow and her amigos before the wedding, and then I will free these three after the wedding. Do we have a deal, my Darling Do?" Daring hesitated, hating the new pet name.
"Alright, it's a deal." With a nod from the ape-jackal, Caballeron pressed the button again, and the walls began to move back. Discord, Spike, and Garble grunted as they fell over.
Ahuizotl then snapped his tail's fingers, and a large red snake with three heads slithered to his side.
"Tryclyde," he said, "take Daring Do to the Great Hall and spread the word: we are getting married at high noon tomorrow."
"Yessir," the snake replied before slither up to the Pegasus. Then the group left the dungeon to prepare for the wedding, leaving behind the trapped trio.
"This is not good, guys," Spike said to Discord and Garble. "We just gotta get outta here and stop that wedding."
"But how are we gonna get outta here?" Garble asked. "Dis here can't use his powers because of these stupid bars, and I highly doubt our fire will melt them."
"Who said anything about using my magic or your fire?" Discord answered with a smirk. "In case you've forgotten, this cell floor is made of pure earth."
"So?"
"So what do you dragons do to get your gems underground?"
"Dig!" Spike cried when it hit him.
"Oh, right…duh," Garble chuckled sheepishly. "Can't believe I forgot about that."
"Never mind that," Discord stated. "Let's dig already!" The three of them then started digging at a fast pace that they're underground in a matter of seconds.

Ahuizotl's soldiers stood in attention as he made his way down the hall, a smile upon his face. At long last, he will come out victorious over his rival Daring Do; not through her demise, but through her marrying him. And she will make a fabulous queen indeed.
As he then plucked an exotic jungle flower from a window and sniffed it, his white kitten Nieva rushed up to him and hopped onto his shoulder to rub her head against his neck. With a smile, he stroked her back gently with his tail-hand.
"Soon, Nieva, the lucky Daring Do is going to have Daddy for a handsome husband."

Back with the guys, they had gotten far enough from the vengestone bars for Discord to transform into a drill to dig better.
"If my calculations are correct," he said to Spike and Garble who followed behind", "this should lead us straight to Daring Do."
"And if ya calculated wrong?" Garble asked before they came out through a wall…with a guard at either side of it!
"Ya had to ask," Spike said to Garble with a gulp. The alarmed guards then leapt forward to catch them, but Discord teleported them out of the way. That trick made the guards bonk their heads into each other and knock them unconscious.
"Guess they're too hard-headed to consider helmets," Discord chuckled…right before Garble threw up.
"Dude, ya know teleporting makes me queasy!" he snapped.
"Alright, alright," the Draconequus replied as they went back into the tunnel. "We'll stick to the drilling. Sheesh, you teenagers are so touchy…"
