"No time to let me explain?" Huffed Discord, "Fine. But that pony I saved should at least be grateful! She hardly glanced at me before she ran off!"
"It's ok, Discord. I'm sure she just didn't read far enough in the book Celestia gave her to know that you are reformed." Twilight pointed out. Just then they reached their destination and peered through the bushes. They saw a tall red male alicorn and Candy.
"It's Candy, and BloodSkull!" Hissed Twilight.
"The who and the what now?" Asked AppleJack. Just then the timber wolves started to build up into a giant one, and BloodSkull took this time to teleport them to safety, leaving behind a small red ball. All Twilight managed to hear was, 'like the big bang theory!', and then they were gone.
"Take cover! It's a death bomb!" Twilight shrieked and ran for the hills, not glancing back once. Soon the rest of the patrol of ponies and a draconequus were hot on her heels. Twilight reached the top of the cliff and peered over the edge to see the gigantic timber wolf sniffing the bomb cautiously.
BOOM
A cloud of red dust shot up into the sky, forming a skull.
"Whoa." Breathed Rainbow Dash.
"We need to inform Celestia about this before BloodSkull uses his mind control on Candy!" Twilight said urgently. Flutter Shy looked up at Discord and used puppy dog eyes, which always worked with him, and he gave in.
"Fine, I'll teleport us there." He sighed, slightly annoyed at how the pegasus always seems to make him do what she wants, without forcing him. He actually slightly admired this.
In Celestia'/Luna's Castle
"What was that?" Luna inquired to Celestia.
"Let me look." Celestia replied as she walked over to the window and gasped.
"What is it, sister?" Luna asked, clearly concerned for her sister.
"BloodSkull is back! We need to inform the mane six and Princess Cadence! This is very bad news for Equestria…" Celestia said, clearly deep in thought.
"Who is BloodSkull, and how does thou know he is back?" Luna probed curiously but concerned.
"BloodSkull is the only known male alicorn in existence. He existed long before you sister, and I believe he has awoken from his stone prison in the old castle. He was that alicorn statue in the library, recently moved to the Canterlot gardens, and somehow escaped, and even though there isn't an explanation to that, he is still a threat to Equestria." Celestia wistfully replied.
"I will go inform the guards immeadiatly!" Luna said, galloping out of the throne room without hesitation. Luna ran down the halway, startling a guard, but instead of bowing, he turned to her in a trance like motion, and said,
"Halt, thou shall not pass under the command of oh powerful BloodSkull." And pulled out a gas towel, and gagged Luna.
In the Canterlot dungeons
Luna awoke with a jolt, just as the guard who gagged her, and two others, including Flash Sentry, threw her into a jail cell.
"You will not get away with this tyranny!" Luna heard Celestia yell, as it echoed down the dungeon halls, and heard a cell next to her slam and lock.
"Tia!" Luna yelled.
"I am here, Luna. I wish the mane six the best of luck in defeating BloodSkull; it seems as if his power, wits, strength, and army has all grown over the past two-thousand years." Celestia replied tiredly.
I was bored so I decided to write this for the few out there who read this story.
Seeya later, alligator!
