I Miss You Dashie

“Mission successful, Master.”

Kordis used his magic to scan the surrounding area. No sign of him. Good. He smiled.

“Time for your reward, slave.”

His slave approached the stone pedestal Kordis was sitting on. Kordis summoned a small orb of light, a ball about three inches in diameter. He opened her mouth and rammed the ball down her throat. Kordis chuckled inwardly. Always good to be cautious. Even if she somehow managed to break the psycho cage he placed on her mind, these orbs should keep her under his thrall. Like a drug, it spreads through the body, giving an elated feeling, followed by extreme withdrawal symptoms. Completely harmless, but highly addictive. It even has mild healing properties. No need to damage the merchandise, after all. Oh, my little slave. No hope for you now.

The best feeling in the world. That was the only way Slave could even begin to comprehend how she felt right at that moment. Completely incredible. Yet, the moment of total ecstasy was gone, far too soon. There was only one thought on her mind now, one thing that wouldn’t stop playing a staccato beat in her brain with mallets coated in concrete. More.

Kyle? Kyle is dragging a beaten up and badly burned Discord back to the campfire. Weird, but not as weird as the other things I’ve seen this week.

“What happened? Who did that to Discord?” I was extremely confused.

“I don’t know. I guess we’ll have to ask him after I patch him up.”

“Fluttershy, why would you even think about doing something like that! He’s a monster!”

The older Rainbow Dash looked angry, but Fluttershy already started treating Discord’s burns. They were extensive, but by the looks of things, it was survivable. Discord started to wake up, and he moaned.

“Water...”

Kyle produced a canteen of water and poured it down Discord’s throat.

“Who did this to you?”

Discord got up shakily, and sat down on a log.

“Well, let me start from the very beginning.” He started messing with some putty he magicked and stuck it uncaringly in Pinkie’s hair. She started pulling and tugging at the pink goop, and fell behind a log.

“Hey!”

“Well, I was messing around with some of my old buddies, you know, Screwball, Nutcase, Whack Job, and my girl, Eris. A sweet girl. Always feisty, just the way I like it, she’s actually very sweet.  We were camping in the woods, as an escape from all the death and destruction. I’m not a big fan of death, I’ll have you know, and I’m nothing,” he turned to look at the audience, “like what Hot Diggity Demon says I look like. Ha, ‘bring me your virgins’,  complete garbage. No talent at all.  I just like to have a bit of fun every once in awhile. Pinkie, you know what I mean.”

“Huh?” Pinkie was still getting the putty out of her hair.

“So I went out to take a leak. I sensed a high concentration of dark magic, then I was hit with a strong blast. I only saved myself because I knew it was coming. It hit me square on, but I diverted it to only my skin,and it hurts, but survivable. But the strangest part wasn’t the energy bolt, it was the assailant. She was giving off a lot of possession energy. Either she is controlling a proxy, or she is a proxy. I got a look at her before she left. It was Twilight Sparkle.”

Kyle was confused. “Dark magic?”

I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and it started to throb. Regardless, I stepped closer. Then I asked,

“What sort of dark magic?”

Discord felt the wave hit him, and he knew immediately what it was. He held out his paw and blasted the human away, directly into Fluttershy and the two Rainbow Dashes.

FLASH

All three fell into a rigid comatose.

“That kind of dark magic.”

For once in his life, Discord felt sorry for what those little ponies were about to experience.

I looked around, and found myself in a white matrix. I was glowing, and floating in midair. The Rainbow Dashes and Fluttershy were staring into space. They were obviously scared.

“Hey!” I said. But instead of them looking up, they all screamed in pure agony, their bodies wracked with pain. At that moment, my arm started to hurt. For some reason, I felt no remorse for their pain, only confusion why they weren’t listening to me. I tried again. “ Hey! Follow me and maybe we can get outta here! Come on!” They cried out in pain again, and they seemed to freeze for a moment. Finally, Fluttershy spoke. Her voice was dull and monotone, but still distinctly Fluttershy.

“Follow...”

Both Rainbow Dashes nodded.

“Follow...”

“Follow...”

“Unity...”

“Unity...”

“Unity...”

I was getting desperate to get their attention. They wouldn’t even look at me. “I’m to the left! Get over here!”

They all bowed in unison, bowed to me. It freaked me out to no end, yet it felt... right. Wait, what had they said... “unity”?

“Yes, master.”

FLASH

“Wait,” said Kyle, with a confused look on his face. Discord had just finished explaining how the mind field worked. “Why would Francis even want to do that? Enslavement? Really?”

Discord nodded. “That is the only possible purpose of that spell. Although, I’m unsure how he cast it, and whether he really will try to enslave them. If he does nothing, everyone will be fine.”

Kyle looked pissed. “If he does ANYTHING to my Dash, I’ll punch his face in, God help me...”

FLASH

All of us woke up.

I was sitting on the ground near where I collapsed. Fluttershy and both Rainbow Dashes sat up and looked around. Fluttershy saw me, and started to run away. Both Rainbow Dashes charged me instead, ready to buck my face in. So I did the first thing that popped into my head.

“Stop.”

Fluttershy froze about fifty feet from the clearing, and slowly turned around. Both Dashes fell over each other and screeched to a halt, their eyes shooting daggers.

“Fluttershy, come here, please.” Fluttershy stiffly walked over to where I was sitting, crying and pulling her head away like it would make her turn around. I turned to the rest of the group. “I guess I have some explaining to do.” While in the matrix, I thought out exactly what had happened, and realized that something in there rewired their brains. What happened outside, just now, confirmed that. I glanced down at my shoulder and saw that my tree had three roots coming out the  base, two blue streaked with rainbow colors, one the color of lemonade. I guess it’s true, then. I nodded toward Shy and both RDs. “I am the Element of Unity, and I am your Master.”

BAM

The punch connected solidly with my face.

BAM

Another one, in the kidney.

BAM

I started bleeding from my lip.

BAM

My eye started to swell.

BAM

I guess I deserve it.

BAM

I stole her from him.

BAM

What am I supposed to do about it?

BAM

I didn’t know what was happening.

BAM

But it doesn’t feel wrong.

BAM

I shouldn’t feel alright with this.

BAM

But it happened.

BAM

I can live with it.

BAM

This could be a good thing.

BAM

It’s not harmful in any way.

BAM

Dash could stop being so annoying.

BAM

It was supposed to happen.

BAM

Element of Unity, right?

BAM

I have a right to it.

BAM

Ow.

BAM

Stop.

BAM

Please.

BAM

Please, stop.

BAM

Please!

BAM

BAM

BAM

BAM

BAM

BAM

BAM

I’m supposed to be the Element of Unity. Am I really this alone?

BAM

A/N: OMG Plot Twist LOL. I needed more emotion in the fic, and this is what I came up with. Also, longer chapters WOOT. I kinda cheated, though. Oh, well. KTHXBAI!
