"Two days,,, it's been two days! Are we there yet!?" Rainbow whined as she lay on the flying gryphons back, lazily.
"Oh will you be quiet! You been whining since you woke up this morning!" Discord yelled up at her, shaking a fist at her.
"Feh, well if we were there already I wouldn't whining this! I'm just so bored."
"You really want to meet you watcher don't you?" Twilight stated lightly.
" Hell yeah! I bet mine will be awesome and will be tough to bear, but the tougher the better!" She yelled proudly with a fist in the air.
"You do realise that if they are tough it makes our job harda, right? Also, you're guy doesn't sound too pleasant, I mean... pain… pain! That means bad news fer us!" Apple jack explained over her shoulder to Rainbow.
"Whatever." Rainbow scoffed.
"Well it seems you don't have to wait much longer." Discord said for everyone to hear as he stared ahead. He turned his head looking serious, "We're here." They broke from the forest to only stare at a mountain that loomed over them.
"Smokey Mountain." Fluttershy spoke awestruck looking up at the mountain, it was so... dark looking.
"Oh look, it looks like we don't have to climb." Rarity spoke happy, pointing at a cave in the mountain in front of them. The cave entrance had two burning lamps at the side of the opening, giving it a scared look to it.
"Is it just me or does this seem familiar?" Spike spoke absently as he got of Purple Dawn.
You're probably getting that feeling because of where we met the first watcher, he was also in a cave." Pinkie spoke before skipping up to the entrance.
"Wait! We have to stick together! Who knows if this watcher will use that illusion mist again!" Yelled Discord frantically.
It was like slow motion, Pinkie turned to look at the group with a playful smile, she was about to speak to reassure him that she'll be fine but a black spiked vine shot out and wrapped around her ankle.
"PINKIE PIE!" Everyone yelled horrified.
Right when she opened her mouth to to scream she was dragged into the darkness of the cave, her scream faded as she was dragged deeper into the cave.
"NO! PINKIE!" Everyone ran into the darkness to catch up to their kidnapped friend, to only to be met with green mist.
"SHIT!" Discord cursed covering his mouth to keep the vapors out. "Everyone cover your mouth don't inhale the mist!" When he heard nothing he turned around to see the group had disappeared.
"SON OF A BITCH! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING!" He roared before snapping a gas mask, that looked like a traditional samurai mask, on to his face. He walked around frantically looking for somebody, grumbling to himself, "Fucking mist, stupid ass mist, always losing everybody… FUCKING HELL! WHY ME!"
He then saw a familiar silhouette, a happy relieved smile appeared under his mask. "Oh thank god I found you Fluttershy, I was worried." He reached out a hand to to grab her shoulder only for it to be batted away with her staff.
"OW! What the hell Flutters! Why you do that! It's me!" He yelled in confusion as rubbed his hurt hand. He looked at Fluttershy's face to only see it was shadowed, something felt wrong. "Fluttershy?" He asked worriedly, confused of what's going on. She then pulled out a dagger out of her robe, Discord's eyes widened knowing full well that was Spike's.
"Fluttershy… no… don't do this to me." He backed up, as she slowly advanced on him.
"Fluttershy.. stop... please…"
She then she jumped to strike him to only nik his armored shoulder as he dodge her attack. Tears sprung to his eyes threatening to spill, "This isn't an illusion, this is real, why Flutters, how could you?" His voice breaking at this discovery.
She didn't say anything just ran trying to slice him as he tried to dodge her advances, her attacks sometimes hitting as she cut his armor, though the way she attacked it wouldn't hurt him physically but mentally he was in pain.
"I THOUGHT YOU LOVE ME! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS! WHY FLUTTERSHY!" She said nothing as she went to stab him in the heart.
"ANSWER ME DAMMIT!" He grab her wrist before it hit it's mark.
He pulled her close, his face inches away from hers, a fierce snarl covered his face, his eyes burned with anger and betrayal. His hand tightening around hers bruisingly tight as she tried to push against his hand to break free. "LOOK AT ME AND SAY SOMETHING!" He screamed with pure anger, before his eyes widened in shock when he looked into her eyes.
Fluttershy's eyes were blank with no feeling, no life, "What the hell?" Discord whispered harshly. Before a voice yelled through the mist behind them.
"Wait Discord! It's a trick! Don't hurt her! She doesn't have any control over her actions! She's being mind controlled by the mist!"
Discord turned his head to look to where the voice came from, "Spike?"
Spike appeared through the mist running with the others behind him, Spike grabbed his dagger from the mind controlled Fluttershy. Rainbow pinned her from behind with her arms under Fluttershy's armpits, Rarity used her fan to blow away the mist. Discord stood shocked as he saw clearly that they all wore makeshift cloth mask. Twilight stood in front of the thrashing Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, knock yourself out of it!" She then slapped her across the face for some empathis.
Applejack winced as the slap echoed through the cave, "Yeesh,,, that was a little harsh don' ya think?"
"no… I needed that…" A meek voice said, Fluttershy lifted up her face to show that she was back to normal, though a red mark and tears began to show on her face. "I definitely deserved that and more." Rainbow released her, when she gained her balance Fluttershy slowly walked over to, a frozen with shock, Discord.
When she got closer, he took a step back as a scared look crossed his face. More tears fell when Fluttershy saw him back away she stopped walking , "I'm so sorry Discord. I'm so sorry. I… couldn't… stop myself… I want to answer, I wanted to stop, I wanted to tell you that my love for you is true but… I had no control."
She fell to her knees before him, crying into her hands. "I wasn't strong enough! I wasn't strong enough to stop myself! To answer and tell the truth! So I'll say it now!" She lifted her head up and screamed to the heavens, "I LOVE YOU TRULY! AND I'M SO SORRY THAT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH! I-"
Her words were silenced by a shoulder, Discord fell to his knee, holding her close as silent tears fell down his sharp cheeks.
"Thank god, I thought… I thought you didn't love me… but it was a trick a horrible trick. I love you and I'm not gonna let you go or let anything happen to you again. I love you, I love you, god I love you, when you attacked me I thought you didn't love me, I thought you hated me." He said as he lifted his head to look into her eyes, "I'm so glad your beautiful eyes are back to normal, no… I'm glad you're back to normal."
Fluttershy cupped his face, "I could never hate you and I'm glad I'm back to normal."
"Fluttershy" Love filled his eyes as he leaned in and kissed her softly but full of love, she kissed back with just as much love. When they separated, they whispered 'I love you', with happy tears streaking their faces.
"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GONNA DO THIS EVERY TIME!" Yelled a frustrated Rainbow Dash whose eyes looked suspiciously red. A teary eyed Twilight and Rarity elbowed her in the gut, making her fall to the ground groaning.
"Why…?" she groaned out.
"Because you ruined the moment darling." Rarity huffed.
Discord and Fluttershy stood up holding each other, "It's ok Rarity, besides I want to kill the one who forced Fluttershy to attack me." Discord eyes flashed dangerously.
"Who ever did this is an idiot to get you mad." Spike said with a shiver.
"Let's go get this pain." Discord said harshly cold grabbing his axe from his back.
"He's gonna die for what he's done!"
