A/N: Chapter thirty-four here. Hope you enjoy. End A/N

Everything was silent. No one was talking. The only noise that was heard was from different animals, and the snaps of twigs we stepped on. At least so far this 'swamp' looked more like a forest, so I didn't complain.

"You know, I just realized something." Klade stated. "This place is huge, and well hidden. How are we going to find Discord?"

"We just have to keep searching. We'll come across him eventually." Twilight replied.

"But what if he left? He could be somewhere else entirely. Or maybe while we are currently here, he could be in Ponyville?"

"I'm sure the princesses have Ponyville under constant watch."

"They've already been captured by Discord." I spoke up. "I don't think it would be too hard for him to do it again."

"Since then security in Canterlot has doubled, if not tripled. Plus my brother is the captain of the Royal Guard. I'm confident they'll be fine."

"...Alright." Klade replied. It proceeded to be silent afterwards, as we continued walking through the over-growth.

Minutes passed, and we failed to find anything.

"Are you sure he's here? I don't see anything." I stated.

"Just a few more minutes..." Twilight replied.

"Wait! What is that?" Pinkie exclaimed, pointing at something. I looked in that direction, to see what looked like some type of building in the distance.

"I don't know. Lets find out. Maybe that's where Discord has been." I responded. We all proceeded to head off in that direction.

Over the course of a few minutes, we arrived. Getting a closer look at the place, it looked more like an ancient building, that I guessed could've been over a hundred years old. We began to cautiously approach it, before arriving just a few feet to the entrance.

"What is this place?" I asked, looking at it.

"I don't know. I've never been here before." Twilight replied.

"Should we go inside?" Rarity responded.

"We don't really have any other choice. Either Discord is in there, or just something else." Klade exclaimed.

"Ah agree with Klade here. Even if it is a trap, we ain't got no where else ta look." Applejack replied.

"Then lets go ahead, and see just what is inside." Twilight responded, beginning to walk toward it. We all followed her lead, until she approached the worn down front door. She touched it, and it fell over, creating a small cloud of dust. She proceeded to walk inside, us following close behind.

The interior was mainly blackish grey bricks all over, on the walls, ceiling, and floor. The ground was covered with dust, giving the whole place a musty old smell. There appeared to be nothing inside though. The whole room was completely empty, except for one small wooden door on the other side.

"There doesn't seem ta be anythin' here." Applejack stated, looking around the place.

"There's that door on the other side. There could be something in there." Klade replied.

"It could be a trap though." Rainbow Dash responded.

"Well, we're not going to find anything in here. It's worth a shot checking what's in there." I exclaimed, looking at the door. I began to walk toward it, being sure to be cautious.

"Be careful Duston." Twilight said with concern, looking at me with slight worry. I then approached the door, being only a few feet away from it. I raised my M16, and prepared to kick the door down. In a sudden movement, I kicked down the door, aiming at whatever was inside.

My heart nearly stopped when I saw who was inside. I immediately opened fire, the room lighting up as the loud sound of gun-fire echoed across the room. I kept firing, until the gun clicked, signaling the magazine was empty. I lowered the gun, and looked at the dead body in-front of me.

"Who is it?" Klade asked, quickly walking toward me.

"...Discord." I replied quietly, the blood pouring out of him.

"What? That can't be right..." He responded, looking into the room.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked, walking over to here, along with everyone else. She got her answer when she looked inside. "...Discord? Is he dead?"

"I don't know." I replied. "This just doesn't add up. This was too easy."

"Even I agree with that." Klade responded. "He would at least go down fighting. To have his 'chaotic fun' before he died. He wouldn't just... let himself die like this."

"And right you are Klade." A voice echoed across the room.

"Discord!? He's not dead!?" Rainbow stated in surprisment. "You're dead, right there!"

"That was all but a decoy." He replied. "Just enough time to do what I need to do, while you were all in this room."

"So then this was a trap. That was too obvious." Klade responded.

"Yes, it was. It may have been obvious, but you all still fell for it. Now." The snapping of fingers was heard, and all the ponies in the room disappeared, leaving only me and Klade.

"What did you do with everyone?" I asked, alarmed.

"Oh don't you worry, they'll be fine. I thought I'd have my fun with you two first."

"So, I guess this is what you chose. Death then." Klade said.

"Ah yes. I eventually concluded that life just wouldn't be worth living without chaos. I figured I would have my 'last' days with the most chaotic fun thought possible. And you were right. I care not for you two, poor creatures. I will do all the 'extreme' things to you." He proceeded to begin laughing manically, it echoing across the room. The snap of fingers was heard, and we both suddenly teleported.

I appeared inside a large empty plain. Everything was white. Everything around me was white. I couldn't see anything. I looked down, to see I was standing on white. It almost looked like I was standing on nothing, as everything around me was the exact same color. I looked around more, and couldn't see anything. I began to get dizzy, so I stopped looking around.

"Discord?" I called out. I waited, no response.

"Hello Duston." Said a familiar voice behind me. I quickly turned around, to see Twilight.

"Twilight? There you are! Are you okay? Where are we?" I asked, feeling more secure as I walked over to her. However, she just looked at me. "Twilight?"

"Stop, saying, my name." She replied seriously, looking at me with anger in her eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong" I asked, confused.

"I saw everything."

"Everything? What everything?"

"You. You, are a TRAITOR!" She suddenly yelled, throwing a hoof at my face. It made contact, knocking me to the side.

"Ow! What the hell!?" I loudly said, confused and agitated.

"You have been working for Discord this whole, darn, time! And you never told me or anyone else anything!"

"What? How?"

"YOU told him what the weaknesses to Canterlot castle are. YOU were the one who told him the easiest way to get past the guards and capture the princesses."

"No! That's insane!"

"At first I thought it was. I mean, it would be obvious Discord would be trying to brainwash me into hating you. But the more I saw, the more I began to realize the truth. This whole time, you knew where Discord was hiding. This whole time, you were secretly helping him. You didn't want to stop him. That was all just a show, to make you seem like you were on our side." She began to tear up. "This whole time, I thought you were on our side Duston... Why? Why did you lie to me, your friends, and everyone else!?"

"I'm not lying! How can you even believe that!?"

"BECAUSE I SAW IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES! He SHOWED me what you were doing. I SAW you helping him."

"Twilight, I thought you were better than this. He is lying. He's sitting back, just laughing as he watches us two argue, over something that never even happened!"

"I am better than this. I should've realized in the beginning that this was happening."

"Twilight, w-"

"I told you not to say my name..."

"*Sigh.* Look. Who do you trust more? Me? Or Discord?"

"..."

"You know me. You've been around me for, pretty much the whole time I've been here. You know me very well, maybe even more than I know myself. Do you, deep down, honestly believe I would do something like that?"

"Well...no."

"Then why would you believe Discord? He's known to lie like that."

"You do have a point... but..." She trailed off, looking at me.

"What?"

"Nothing..."

"I love you Twilight. I wouldn't lie to you like this. You have to believe me..." She looked to the side, seemingly at nothing. Seconds passed, although it seemed like whole minutes. Eventually, she looked back at me, before running up to me, wrapping her hooves around me in a hug.

"I-I'm so sorry Duston!" She cried, pulling me into a tight embrace. "I don't know what made me believe those lies. I just don't know what I was thinking!"

"It's okay Twilight. Don't worry about it." I replied, hugging her back.

"I feel so stupid now... how could I have let him do that to me?"

"There's no point in wondering why now. Maybe he used some type of magic to help, but it doesn't matter. It's over now."

"Oh, are you alright?" She suddenly asked, pulling away and looking at me. "I hit you in the face pretty hard back there..."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"That's good. Sorry about that."

"It's alright. Now..." I said, looking around. "Where are we?"

"I don't know. I was in a room similar to this before." She replied.

"Is there even any way out?"

"Yes, yes, there is. Stop your boring worrying." I heard a familiar voice say, it echoing around the whole place.

"Get us out of here Discord." I stated sternly.

"Well, I didn't get much fun out of you two, so I have a better plan." He replied.

"What-" I was cut off by something hitting me in the chest. "Ow. What the hell?" I looked down, to see something fall and hit the ground.

"Hmm? Strange. That was supposed to go through you." Discord replied.

"Go through? You mean like kill him?" Twilight asked, her eyes widening.

"Well, yes. I don't know why it didn't though."

"You... you're evil!" Twilight yelled, pissed.

"Me? Evil? No, I'm just twisted. Oh well. It would've been fun to see you break down and cry Twilight, but apparently fate had different plans. I should go see how the others are faring."

"You can at least get us out of here!" I exclaimed.

"Hmm, how about, no."

"What? Get us out!" I replied. I waited, but only to hear to no response. "Great. I guess we're going to be stuck here for awhile."

"Yes, but at least you're here." Twilight responded. "I can't believe Discord actually tried to kill you..."

"That's true." I replied. "It could've been a lot worse. At least I'm still here though, with you." We looked into each others eyes, as I felt myself begin to smile. I couldn't help but look back that I could've just died though. It could've been all over, that fast, with close to no warning.

"Are you feeling okay?" Twilight then asked.

"Yeah... just thinking. It could've all been over, that fast. After everything I've done, and been through, it would've all just disappeared, in seconds..." I replied.

"That may be true... but, you're still here Duston. Thinking about that now won't change anything."

"I know that, but, it's something that's kinda hard to not think about. I could've been gone, that fast. It's just... a little mind blowing, that's all."

"Well... you'll get past it eventually."

"Yeah... probably. And this is most likely not even the last of his tricks."

"Most likely..."
