The first string got pulled
The purple unicorn looked down in the big dirty hole where Fluttershy's cottage normally stands. She thought in horror, what the creature maybe have done to her. Anyway the princesses where informed and on their way here. There must be a possibility to find Fluttershy. No detection spell had worked so far. Wherever she was Discords just blocked any stranger's magic out.
Twilight screamed surprised when suddenly a brown long body appeared in front of her. Causing the mare to jump backwards. She haven't to hear the evil laughter to know who it was.
"Discord!", Twilight and her friends shouted.
"Hello there. We will have some fun together, wont we?", he howled. Rainbow Dash flew straight to his face and growl at him: "What have you done to Fluttershy?!"
Without hesitation Discord laughed narrowing Rainbow's eyes.
"Let's just say, the element of kindness is of no longer concern."
The ponies around him gasped. He was sure that they imagine things of horror he would have needed more time to come up with. Brains could be very chaotic and useful partners when it comes to place a seed of fear in one's mind. Normally one little sentence was enough. When he watched at the faces of the ponies in front of him this one was really effective.
"I'll tear you apart, when you've hurt her!" , Rainbow shouted and tried to body-slam the draconequus. He separated his head from his neck, causing the blue pegasus crashed into the tree behind him. The laughter of the creature stopped in anger when he heard a well known voice above him. "DISCORD! This time you went to far!"
The draconequus grunted and looked in the sky. A beautiful white alicorn with a floating pastel, rainbow colored mane and her stunning dark blue sister with a mane shimmering like a star filled sky flew in his direction. The spirit of the five smaller ponies brightened up the very moment they heard the voices of their royal leaders.
"Ow Celestia. Have you run out of sayings already? I heard that one several times out of your mouth!", he scoffed. The two mares landed in front of him. Her eyes filled with disgust. "Ow and Princess Luna gives me the honor as well. Long time no see, eeh? How's the air at the moon this season?"
The dark pony growled angry: "Hold thy tougue thou abomination of nature!"
Celestia didn't wait for an answer and take over the conversation: "How could you dare to abuse my kindness to give you a second chance?! And furthermore how could you do any harm to the young mare I intrusted with you?! I will not forgive you if you done any harm on one of my beloved ponies!"
"If this wimp was so important for you why didn't you do you're duties yourself in the first place? Ow, my little magic less underling? Would you be so kind to take care of that evil, big archenemy of mine? I am sure you will be successful with that! He used to be so cooperative when he was a immobile statue and such a good listener! I am sure he wont take the chance to mess up with us and take revenge!", Discord gagged pretty good faking Celestia's voice in the end.
"What have you done to her?!" , Celestia hissed between her teeth.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe you could be creative for once in your lifetime? But I give you a little hint. Her screams sounded delightful! So I would have preferred yours."
"Enough!" Celestia screamed and stamped as hard as she could her hooves on the ground.
"May I should add, that the skin of her throat was so soft and vulnerable. Her flesh smelled as delicious as a cold chocolate milkshake with vanilla wiped cream and a cherry on the top", Discord teased and watched amused the pain, anger and fear in the faces of the ponies. The smaller ones had tears in their eyes. That was almost to easy!
He bite his tongue, when the horns of Celestia, Luna and Twilight began to glow as well as the elements. "You can't turn me to stone without Fluttershy.", he thought. Watching the giant sphere of pure magic, which appeared over the princesses. "But kill will do...", he whispered. Maybe he had have poked his head to deep into this hornet nest...
The sphere shoot in the direction of the draconequus. He screamed in agonie. His silhouette melted with the bright flash of energy which steals the vision of all of them for a few seconds. "That was awesome!", Pinky jubilated.
"We showed him!", Rainbow added and looked at the out of exhaustion shivering Twilight Sparkle.
"A won't be sure for that!", Applejack gasped. When the dusty clouds vanished int the air. They revealed Discord, his talons crawled tight in the ground and his body formed like an U trembling over a big gab. It was burned by the pure power of the magic, some smoke still floating up from the ashed earth. Discord huffed: "Woha that was a close one! Do you want to kill me?!"
Pinky snorted: "Gahaga he looks like a Croquet Goal!"
Luna spitted in anger: "Darn we missed! "
She narrowed the serpent body of Discord ready for another powerful attack. The draconequus stand up and tried to clean his ash covered fur. "I think its my turn now..." ,he spited and snipped.
The alicorns shrieked, when a cold, gluey substance hit their heads and shimmered golden in the sun. "Ueeew sirup?!", Celestia coughed and tasted the kind of bittersweet and sour substance. "That's nauseously but it will serve any purpose for thou!" Luna snarled. The draconequus shook his head. "I am not finished jet. And for the note. It is bee balm.", he said, snipping again.
A terror scream caught the attention of the ponies. Some of the villagers of Ponyville had hide outside to look what was happening, when they got caught by Discord's spell. Their bodies grew round and fuzzy. Antenna grew out of their heads and bee like wings appeared on their back or the feathers of the pegasoi wings melted into the thin transparent membrane. Without hesitation they flew in the direction of the princesses. "Oh no! We mustn't hurt them!", Celestia cried.
"But they'll harm us!", Luna echoed. Discord chuckled and walked in Twilight's direction with ease. She still tries to recover from the blast of magic witch had leaved her body. She was an easy victim now.
"We won't let that happen!", Applejack screamed. She looked at Rainbow who herded the bees away from the princesses and formed them to a ball of rage and confusion. The Southern pony threw a lasso after the swarm and drag it to the ground. Discord was distracted. He didn't see Rarity was sneaking up to the glued princesses and freed them with a makeover spell. So he didn't see it coming, when the princesses attacked him with another spell.
The flare of magic hit the creature into the spine and it screamed in pain. Luna and Celestia cheered when he crashed into a window of someponies cottage. Glass and wood splattered trough the air and feel to the ground. Meanwhile Twilight tumbled to her friends and tried to break the spell upon the bee ponies.
Luna and Celestia observed stressed the draconequus. The pony which lived in the cottage hold himself at his selling lamp. Maybe he could sneak away without getting hurt? The draconequus had destroyed a table with his weight. Cups, cookies and tee were spread over the floor, leave chaos and destruction at the living room of Thunderlane. Discord moaned in pain and tried to get his orientation back. What the hell was going on? His back felt like it would fall apart. The last time he remembered Luna and Celestia where that brutal was when they tried to fight him before they get hold of the elements. He almost face palmed - oh yeah right that was the case now as well. Now than... he wont hold back either anymore, too.
Twilight let out a joyful tone, when one of the bees turned back to Bonbon due to her magic. But the joy only hold a few seconds - as well as the recovery spell. The bees took the chance to escape when the rope began to loosen. They imminently attack furious the ponies surrounding them.
When she heard the anxious screams, Celestia looked back alarmed about the ponies. "So you wanna play tough...", Discord mumbled, now sitting at the remaining parts of the table and hold his head. Luna didn't let him a second out sight. She could not forget that he had have hurt a pony or even worse killed it. He would feel the pain of a nightmare and that would be just the beginning.
The creature didn't wait for a second attack of the sisters. One more shot and he would be a goner for sure. Faster then a blink oft an eye he tackled the two royal ponies away with a giant flyswatter. The mares flew towards Twilight's library and crashed into several sticky strings, before they hit the trunk. Luna tries do gasp as she recognized that the strings drained her magic. But the tape had slung around her muzzles makes her even incapable of taking a breath. She struggled in fear, watched her sister hanged up side down as helpless as her own.
Spike's ears erected. The little dragon lied in bed and had not finished his after lunch nap at all. Something had hit the tree and woke him up. He stretched himself and yawed. Tired he walked to the window and flinched when he saw Rainbow hunting some gigantic bees through Ponyville. "What the hay?", he mumbled. When he recognized Discord in front of the tree he hide himself behind the wall. Were that Celestia and Luna hanging bound up from a branch outside of his home? He cleaned his throat. He have to do something! Silently he crawled to the table where Twilight's writing stuff laid and wrote a quick note to inform princess Cadance. He quickly send the letter away in his used manner. Then he searched for a window near the branch from which the two princesses were hanging.
Celestia grunted watching Discord humbling towards them. The paper drain her energy and makes her unable to cast a spell. This was a new trick of him. She tried to bite him, when he stroked her chin.
"What d' ya think about my new improved fly stripes? Get rid of flies and nasty magic as well." He said with pain in his eyes. Celestia's wasn't sure what she should think about it. He seems almost about waiting for a specific reaction of her. At the same time his expression made clear he didn't think it would come. Luna fixed her gaze at him and tries to breath again. Her vision already got blurry.
"Hey big meanie mean pants!", screamed somepony behind Discord. When he turned around a cream tart crashed right into his face without warnings. The draconequus grunted, wiped of the cream and got hit by another one at his belly. "Excuse me?! I'm trying to have a conversation here!", he snorted and focused Pinky Pie. The pink pony was about to trow another pie. Discord teleported in front of her and the pie just stopped at his belly again. Pinkie gave him a deadly look. "You! How could you do anything to Fluttershy?! She is so sensitive..."
Discord interrupted annoyed her tirade of hate and put his talon on her lips. "Pinky Pie, am I correct? Didn't you like my chocolate rain?", he asked.
"Yeah! But that's not the matter right now!", she screamed back. Discord turned around while snipping. A giant glass bottle suddenly surrounded Pinky and began to fill itself with chocolate milk.
"That should be more chocolate milk than she could drink in her whole life...", Discord mumbled. "Where was I?" He was about to clean his feathers, when he heard a big slurp behind him.
His eyes opened wide, when he saw Pinky happily licking her lips and looking at him with bright eyes. "Uuuw that was tasty! Can I have more?", she giggled. The draconequus looked confused at the tiny pony inside of the bottle. Her coat and mane were brown, soaked with chocolate. She would have probably drown. Any pony would have drown! And jet Pinky was sitting in front of him and sucking the brown fluid out of her coat smiling at him. "Seriously! What are you?!" He jangled "Did an one night stand with one of your ancestors slipped my mind?!"
"Twilight, do something already!", Rarity cried. Her lung hurt from all the running and she was about to collapse. Although Rainbow could distract the bees from getting them hurt, it would be only a matter of time, that anypony of them run out of breath. She really didn't look forward being penetrated by a giant bee sting.
"Let me think!", she purple unicorn huffed. When they passed the place where Celestia and Luna got drowned by the sirup it hit her. "Rainbow! Bee balm at Discord!" She screamed exhausted.
"Got it!", she blue mare answered. She flew in full speed to the rest of the balm and captured it with a lonesome bucked, she spotted on the ground. Furious she tackled one of the bees. The insects followed her immediately.
Luna coughed weak. She was about to faint. Helpless she tried to got lose but is was impossible. Closing her eyes she accepted her faith. Discord recognized her struggle. When he saw that the mare has no possibility to breath he sighed and loosen the stripes around her muzzle. Killing was not his intention. What fun would it be to have eternal chaos but no one who complaints about it? Luna took a deep revealed breath. Confused she looked at the draconequus eyes. Did she just saw pity in them. He turned hastily away. That couldn't be she won't accept that this creature had any sympathy for anypony but himself, especially not her. Not after how what happened centuries ago. Not after how he had abused her sisters kindness right now!
"So you aren't so mean at all! Fluttershy is still alive! You didn't kill her either, did you?!", Pinky blurted out when she saw the mercy of Discord. There was now way he could have hurt or killed her, when he couldn't even let somepony die under his eyes. "So you can be a big softy, if you want to!" That was enough, how could she even dare to say that? The draconequus looked angry at her and kicked the bottle away.
"This is none of your business!", he scoffed. Seconds later Rainbow threw the bucked at his head. Discord shook it off by scolding: "Darn it! Stop Throwing things at me!"
"Have fun!", Rainbow just laughed and flew away. He tasted the unknown liquid and sighed when he heard bees surrounding him.
"That's cheep. ..", he mumbled and snipped. All bees around him turned back to their former self. "Boo.", Discord let out. Everypony flew as fast as they could. Except for one pegasus with a gray coat and a yellow mane. Her eyes look in different directions. But it was still recognizable that she was confused about the creature in front of her and rather interested then scared.
"Oh for Celestia's sake that didn't turn out like it should!", Applejack swore. She and Rarity tried to catch the bottle that captured the now dizzy Pinky.
"But his face was priceless!",Rainbow laughed catching up with them.
"At least they turned back to normal!", Rarity answered her friends. She looked after Twilight. The unicorn sneaked up to her house, when she had gotten aware of Spike crawling between the leaves and branches, tried to get to the branch of the princesses, she saw her chance to help them coming.
Rainbow stopped the rolling bottle with her back hooves. "Th...thank yououou...", Pinky stuttered trying to stop her vision of continuing running in circles. Rainbow kicked against the glass but it not even got scratch. Darn she thought. Pinky tried to shove herself though the open bottleneck. Her blue friend grabbed her hooves and began to pull. If she got in she must get out, Rainbow practical thought.
"I said boo.", Discord hissed. Ditzy gave him an unsure smile and rushed out of the scene. The draconequus grunted. Finally. No more interruptions. He smiled at Celestia and stroke her mane. Her beautiful rose eyes look at him filled with hatred. He almost sighted. So she was the former holder of the element of kindness... The only expressions he know of her face when she looked at him were sorrow, fear, anger, disgust and misunderstanding. Although she knew where he came from, where she and her sister came from. Celestia eyes closed and her face frown. Clearly she prepared for her up coming death. Discord sighed deep inside his soul. He had given up centuries ago to see something other in the eyes of any pony, but it still kinda hurts. He washed away his bad thoughts and pierced her with his eyes. An evil laughter escaped his throat and he gently stroked the head of the demigoddess. "What do you think about sharing an experience Celestia? Isn't that a good thing between old friends?", he asked silently. Again anger and hate flow trough her eyes. How could he even dare to use the word friends after what he have done! He sighted silently and snipped.
Twilight has reached by that time Luna and twinkled at her. "Spike and I gonna help you.", she whispered. The baby dragon gave her a thumb up from the branch and began to jawed at the fly stripe.
Suddenly Celestia appeared free at the side of Discord. Everyone stared puzzled at her. But she didn't hesitate a second, turned around and throw up her front legs ready to attack him. "You will regret that!", she yelled.
"Oh that's a better pose.", Discord snickered and patted her on the flank. A strange rose material floating from his paw all over Celestia's body.
The moment Celestia turned around with an angry glaze snorting at Discord her body froze in its movement and take the consistence of a pure rose diamond.
"That's your color definitely!", Discord bursted in triumph.
"PRINCESS CELESTIA!"
