Chapter 19: betrayal
Night shadow was looking over the huge screen watching all of the humans taking care of things all over the world. He sighed as he was sitting in his chair as he laid his head back.
"these fools have no idea of what will happen to them. Once I have enough power I shall control this planet and it will be mine" he said as he then spun his left hoof in the air making it glow a red color, black haze then walked into the room and sat in the chair next to him.
"so when will it be time to take over this world?" he asked.
Night shadow didn't turn to him as he still kept his eyes on the screen "oh don't worry my friend. It shall be soon", as soon was he about to close his eyes he looked on the screen to see vanish walk into the building. This caught black haze's attention as well.
"well well. Look who has come home crawling".
"hehe and by the look on his face. It seems that he is a little upset about something".
Both the black alicorns then started laughing darkly when suddenly a flash of green light appeared behind them, they turned around at the light and saw that it was discord walking out of it with a very dissatisfied look on his face.
Vanish's smile then turned into a frown but not one that discord could see, black haze then got out of his seat and walked over to the lord of chaos. "lord discord what brings you hear?" he asked him.
Discord then cleared his throat and began to speak.
"I'm here because I want to know about something".
"oh. About what?".
"don't start playing dumb black haze. Your a horrible lier".
"oh please. If I'm a horrible lier. Then how come I was able to trick princess Luna then?".
"that was luck. But that is beside the point of this conversation".
He raised an eye brow at him "then what is it then?".
"I need to know if what you said was true about lucy's brother".
Black haze then sighed as he then looked over his shoulder back at night shadow, who was starting to show a small smile.
"oh yes that. We I'm so sorry about that discord. But he pasted away in such a horrible manner. It just simply broke my heart".
Discord just looked at him unamused "you don't have a heart nor did you ever care about anyone".
Black haze then put his hoof on his chest.
"well I say. Since when did you care about all of this now. Last I checked all of this talk about hearts and emotions have never bothered you at all. Why the sudden change of heart?".
Discord then tapped his deer leg on the white floor with his arms crossed.
"because I have been staying with a certain someone that's why. Even thought she is evil like me she has shown me a few of her light sides. And I have been showing her some of mime" he finished with a smile forming on his face, night shadow then started to grit his teeth a his master as black haze face then turned to a bit of anger.
"so you let this human run you. And now you have gained a heart? What about causing misery and chaos to every single life form? What happened to making others suffer? What about controlling this planet? What happened to you discord!?".
Discord then glared at him.
"I am still the element of chaos. I do what I please and I will not be shown disrespect by anyone. Especially to a bunch an alicorn warlock and a decedent of the royal family", this made night shadow stand up in fury as discord continued.
"the three of you came to me when no one else wanted you. Black haze you should rember that I was the one who found you almost left for dead in the cold snow when you were just a filly. And as for you night shadow I found you when you were in exile. The same goes for vanish too". He then looked around the room to see that he was not present "wait. Were is vanish?".
As soon as he said his name the basment elevator dinged. As it opened vanish then threw his broken machete at night shadow as it missed his head and stuck into the wall behind him. Discord was stunned to see this as vanish then yelled, "you! How dare you!" he said as he pointed at the black cloked alicorn.
"how could you take that from me! That was my kill! Mine! And now I find out that he is gone!".
Night shadow looked at discord who had a raised eye brow and an angry look on his face, he turned back to vanish who was still seething with rage.
"well what did you want me to do vanish?".
"I wanted you to let ME kill him!".
"well it's too little too late for that now".
"oh is it now?".
"yes it is"
Vanish still glared at him.
"well if it's too late for me to take his life. Then all just have to somehow find someone else to kill in his place", night shadow then hached an idea in his head "well if you want to kill someone in your formal rivals place then look to your right". Vanish then looked over at discord then back at him.
"so...I get to slay a god huh?".
Black haze then steped forth.
"well not quite. Just enough to wound him so night shadow can take his power".
Discord was stunned to hear this in front of his face as if he wasn't there in the room, "what!" he shouted "what did you just say that you would do!?".
Black haze looked at him with an evil look.
"oh don't worry discord. I'm sure that vanish will take very good care of you" he said with a smile. Discord then looked up at night shadow who was sitting back in his chair.
"so it is true. You did kill him".
Night shadow yawned at his former master.
"oh please. Banish me for killing one worthless meat puppet".
"that meat puppet was my dear lucy's brother night shadow!".
"do you really think that I care. I don't care if he was the king of this planet. I would still kill him if I wanted my plans to go my way. Besides he was causing trouble for me so I had to get rid of him by any means nesccacry. And so I did and now his friends and the main six are in despair I win".
discord was a little taken back.
"the main six are here?".
Black haze then butted in the conversation.
"well not anymore. It seems that we can't pin point there location on this planet. So it's safe to say that they went back to equestria to grieve over the loss of a friend".
Vanish then laughed.
"ahahahahahaha! To think that the main six could be that weak! All because one person died. It's pathetic really. I wish I could have seen the looks on there faces when Clayton was killed. That would have been a wonderful sight to see".
Discord was shocked, sad, and disgusted, he was shocked to hear that his own pawns were betraying him right in front of his face, he was sad that lucy's brother had been killed, and he was disgusted that his own minions were thinking about how wonderful it would have been to see him die in a horrible fashion. Discord then snapped his fingers as he made a storm form over there heads.
"this is the final straw for the three of you. And quite frankly I'm all out of straws to break" he said as he then snapped his finger again as a bolt of lightning came out of the cloud and started speeding at the three alicorns, vanish then smirked as he then held his hand up and grabbed the bolt of lighting as he turned back into his true form.
He then transformed the bolt of lighting in his hoof into a double edge sword with a lighting curved blade, he then levitated the sword with his magic and aimed it at discord.
"what? But that's not posable?".
"it is when you have had over two thousand years of practice with every single magical spell" night shadow said as he then made his horn glow and sent an array of magic binding chains around his body as then took hold of him and held him down pinning him to the floor, vanish then stated to use his magic to control his sword as he then traced it down discord's back slowly and painfully.
"hehehe if only I could have done this to Clayton. Then I would have gotten back at him for cutting my cheek" he said in a dark tone.
"let it go vanish. Besides we have work to do now" black haze said as he then walked over to discord who was trying to ignore the pain that he was receiving on his back from vanishes sword, he then started to make his horn emit a blue and yellow color as he leaned down to his old master.
"now this won't hurt a bit" he said "this is gonna hurt a lot".
He then started to shock him with his magic as night shadow watched from his chair grinning darkly as the lord of chaos was being tortured.
