MLP The Final War ch.2: To find a mockingbird
I'm back and I will try to write longer chapters. I am still looking for a beta reader. Disclaimer: you know the rest.
"Come on!" shouted Doodle Mark, a chestnut pony with a dark brown mane. He was currently messing around with his two best friends, Jay Fay, a gray pony with a silver mane and tail, and coco pommel, who had recently moved here from Manehattan, she was cream with a blue mane. "We're coming," called Jay, "hold on." They were currently heading over to the Ponyville library for an experiment that Twilight had called them about. Doodle skidded to a halt as he reached the library, causing his friends to ram into each other and end up in a dusty, laughing heap. As they entered the building they were greeted by a happy looking purple alicorn. "Are you ready for this?" Twilight asked as she pulled up three therapist chairs. "Where did you…" Coco trailed off. "Get ready for the mental link to take place." Twilight shouted from a machine at the back of the room. As the three 'test subjects' sat down, twilight was busy in one of her books. "Alright here it is." She stated, and she began casting the spell. "Just relax, just try to fall asleep, alright, wait, no, no, no no no no…" Then the three went under.
They came to. "Where are we?" Asked Jay. "Not sure, but it really doesn't seem like we're anywhere." Stated Doodle. It was true. All that was there was a vast expanse of white. Just as he said this though, an image appeared. A holographic image of twilight flickered on the screen. "Hello, if you can hear this you are stuck outside reality." "What does that mean?" asked Coco. "You are trapped in a hypnotic state; something went wrong with the mental link. Whatever you do, don't try to." Then the screen disappeared. Dark smoke covered the area and the ground became a giant purple checker board. "I've seen this before." They all said in unison. A creature appeared before them, seeming to be created from the smoke. It was a draconoque. It was Discord. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Some ponies come to play the game?" "Stop it Discord," Doodle shouted angrily, "end this now." There was venom in this voice, and Discord took a step back at the remark. Then he smiled and said, "Oh, but I'm not Discord, you should know that." He paused. "No, sweet little Jay here should know that, She created me." They were shocked, and turned to look at her. She was as surprised as they were. "Look, since you're here you might as well play, so here we go. You know the rules." He snapped and Doodles wings disappeared, as well as Jay's horn. "Now, if you can find this key, you win and you can go, but lose your way and you will never escape, and I win." The Draconoque summoned up a bird, tied the key to its leg, and let it free. The three set off
The first obstacle was a building. A plain, old, hotel. But as soon as they entered it the doors slammed shut and there was no way out. "Alright," said Jay "Lets split up and see if that bird is in here." It was a three story building so they each took a floor. On the third floor. Jay had checked almost every room when she saw it, the little bird fly into a dark room. As she entered, the creature was sitting in a chair, with a monocle, reading a newspaper. "Why hello," he muttered, "have you given up yet?" She stood in silence. What happened after that she won't tell me.
Back in the lobby…
Coco Pommel ran into the lobby where Doodle was waiting. "Find anything?" She asked. He shook his head. However, as soon as they left the building, the draconoque appeared before them. "Well, well, well," it sneered, "would you look at that, so willing to leave without your friend?" He snapped his fingers and Jay Fay appeared, her legs hanging as if being held up by an invisible rope. She was crying. "Put her down!" yelled doodle as he charged; only to be shot back Hunger Games style by an invisible barrier. Coco was backing up slowly, afraid to say a word. "Is that how you treat a guest?" asked the draconoque. "You're no guest." Jay said hoarsely. (No pun intended.) "You are in no position to talk." Snapped the monster. "She's right," doodle had gotten back up, "and I just realized something." "And what, pray tell, is that?" "This is my mind, now we play by my rules." A blade of light materialized next to him and he charged again, going right through the shield. As the blade reached the beast he grabbed it and it began to disintegrate. "Silly pony," He jeered, "I can destroy anything you create, you don't have more power than I do." Then Coco called out in rage, "TORENT RUSH!" A wall of water came rushing towards them. The ponies created a shield to protect themselves, But the draconoque was taken completely off guard, being swepped into a door materializing behind him. Unfortunately Jay was also left unguarded, and was swepped into the dark clouds, then the key fell to the ground. The screen materialized in the sky again. "Sorry about that," said Twilight, "just had to re… What happened? I was only gone for like, 5 seconds!" Then, suddenly, both ponies awoke. "Hello?" Twilight said," are you guys still there?" "We're over here Twilight," said Doodle, "well, most of us."
"I've got good news and bad news." Said the nurse at Ponyville hospital. After they had woken up, Jay had been paralyzed, so they rushed her over. "What are they?" "Well, the bad news is we can't get her to wake up, but the good news is she has a heartbeat, so she should be alright." "A heartbeat? As in one?" "Yes, why?" "Nothing," he walked out, "but that's impossible."
Thanks for reading! I would like to give thanks to my friend, DarkPhoenix, for letting me use Jay Fay. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope someone will send me some more ideas, kuz' my buckets running low. Have a great day!
