The 'After' Party with Discord (Part Two)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"Hmm... Why is this happening to us.. my friends are acting really strange for sure." I thought to myself while we were walking to PonyVille after the incident in the maze, I always looked up to Rarity, to see how she was doing with that big rock on her back, didn't want to go close to her.. because she seemed little bit strange and 'greedy' like, Twilight always were just talking about 'Elements of Harmony'. I knew that if Twilight doesn't have the all elements, Loyalty, Generosity, Honesty, Laughter, Magic, Kindness she had no possible chance of beating Discord and making him back to stone again. I looked around to see how is everybody doing, until I saw Alan being sad, as I was about to speak he interrupted me, "What are you looking at?" he spoke coldly.

I knew there was something wrong here, so I turned around to not cause any more problems as it is for now. After about 2 minutes later we arrived at PonyVille, "Allan, get a head start on finding the Elements."

"Whats the point? We've already lost." he said

I looked at him, "Allan..."I sighed, "do not let Discord control your feelings... I know this might not be true... or I was just dreaming but I think he might do that to you and every pony else just to cause chaos and not go back to stone."

"Pfft. Nice story pal." he gave me an angry look.

I knew I should have spoken to him, so I turned around and stopped speaking or making any eye contact with him, for now.


As we arrived at the Twilight's library I saw Allan and Spike trying to find the 'Element of Harmony'. As Twilight came in it seemed that Spike already had found them, they were in a book, with it's pages cut so the elements would actually fit in.

Twilight looked at Allan, "Since we don't have Rainbow Dash at our side, you will be the new 'Loyalty' element! Let's go!"

I seemed confused, "Why would she pick Allan, why wouldn't we get Rainbow Dash in first place anyway?" I had so much questions questions in my head, they got me so confused that it confused me completely. So I just followed Twilight and the others, Rarity seemed still the same as she did, greedy and not so white and beautiful anymore, I knew it was Discords fault, that why he tried to do that on me, but I broke through it, and was not affected by it.

We galloped to Discord. As we arrived to Discord he gave an amused look, "So... Twilight , I see you have found the Elements. Well Done."

"Ready, girls... and Allan! Hold on tight! Discord you are going back to stone!", Twilight looked at Discord with disgust and anger.

Discord gave a grin to Twilight, "We will se about that."

He seemed to know something, he knew that they were still not cured from his spell... I didn't know how to stop it...
As Twilight casted the spell, I saw Allan, Twilight, Rarity, AppleJack, FlutterShy, PinkiePie lifting up from the ground, and in matter of seconds everything went bright white, I couldn't see anything. Just after the Twilight spell was casted, it didn't affect Discord completely he was just sitting there and smiling at Twilight, "So... what happened, Twilight?", he gave his 'evil' laugh.

"The spell... it didn't work." Twilight looked down as all the ponies where baking up and going away from each other, I saw Twilight's colour change slightly too, and she acted strangely as well.

"So... PonyVille is mine! The chaos shall rise AGAIN!" Discord smiled and laughed as he was speaking, he seemed to enjoy this.

After everybody was gone I saw Allan going to his house, I thought I would follow him and see what is up with him.
As I followed him I saw him enter his house, I didn't follow him that far. But something strange happened after that, I saw him coming back from his house in the next morning, he seemed grumpy and 'bossy' from all of sudden. I didn't know what happened to him.

I walked up to him and said, "What you think you are doing?!"

"Just.. making a discipline in PonyVille. making sure these ponies respect me!" he gave me an angry look

"These ponies did not do anything to you. Do you hear me. NOTHING!" I spoke with anger

He looked at me, "I see. So.. now you are angry at me. So I can argue with you! Such fun!"

"Huh?!" I seemed confused

"I hope you would have died in that guard patrol."

"What?! Watch your mouth. I said angrily

He gave a grin, "Those... 'screams' or 'voices' you heard... they were not Discord's fault. The 'Void Shards' are the ones who killed the guards, the shards stuck in their bodies paralyzed them till death... yes... slowly and painfully they died one... by... one.

"No!" I was shocked and sad at the same time

"Oh... yes... I could easily just do that right now with you... but I think I have ran out of the shards it seems... sorry." he spoke threatenly

"So... if you just not tell anything about this meeting to Celestia or Allan I might not just kill you, or behold to be doomed for ever.

I stood up for myself, "So you think your so tough all of a sudden?" I spoke up to myself

It seemed that he forgot what he was talking about and brought up the guard patrolling accident, "THOSE PONIES DIED BRAVELY!" he shouted at me

I looked up to him, "After what you just said you expect me to help you?"

"Yes." Allan answered simply and quickly

"You're treading on dangerously thin ice here Allan." I tried to threaten him

He gave me a grin, "I like dangerous things! So I want something from you, Shadow. Follow me.

"Hmm. Should I trust you or not. I looked confused as I spoke

Allan gave me one of his 'evil' smiles, "Well... why don't follow me and find out?"

I started following Allan, without saying 'Yes' or 'No', after some time of walking I asked Allan a question just of the curiosity I had in my mind, "What exactly are you looking for, Allan."

After Allan could even give me the thing he was looking from me he collapsed to the ground.


After short time I saw Allan coming back again, he seemed rather confused, "What was that?"

"What was what, Allan? You just 'passed' out it seems after you picked up that crystal shard." I seemed confused and explained him in case he didn't remember

Allan seemed confused and nervous after I told him about the crystal shard which he picked up and he jumped back for now reason.

"What's wrong with you? First you lose hope, then you insult me, then you bring me out here and now you're acting all weird again. I. DEMAND. ANSWERS, Allan!"

"WELL I DON'T HAVE THEM!" Allan seemed in rage

After some time of silence between our conversations, Allan decided to ask me something while I was examining the place where I was at, "What's with the shard?"

I looked at Allan, "You just bring me here, and you just 'passed' out casually, why are you so WEIRD! Tell me. Please?

Allan passes out again for no reason, I didn't know why he was doing this, but something was wrong with him, this time he just slept there on the grass unconscious, didn't wake up or anything, "Okay... I'm taking him to the hospital."


After some time, I saw a doctor examining Allan, for any more bruises or broken bones. The doctor came to me and said, "He will live, that's for sure. But he got too many injuries that it would take week to recover, unless we use magic. Which wouldn't work either."

"I see. Well... thank you doctor." I said while walking towards Allan.

Allan seemed relaxed.. like nothing happened... he was in his 'casual' sleep, "Something must be wrong... I can feel it..."

I looked under Allan, because I saw small pieces of purple shards, "... what's this?" I used my magic to levitate the shard while examining it at the same time... it had small purple outer glow around it.

I said quietly, "Allan... what are you hiding from us.."

"I need to see Twilight. Now."

As I rushed to Twilight's library, I saw her feeling down. I noticed a book on her 'book stand', it showed all the good times Twilight and her friends had... I took the book with me and walked up to Twilight, "Are you okay...?"

"No. My friends left me.. I have nothing left... just leave me..... alone." Twilight said in depressed voice

I levitated book in front of Twilight, "Remember these good times you and your friends had? They are not leaving you. They will be always there. It's all Discords fault. Don't get fooled by his magic."

It seemed Twilight remembered... she began to change colour... she changed back to normal, "Yes... I won't be fooled by Discord's filthy magic! Thank you, ShadowMere!", Twilight hugged me and galloped away to save her friends


I went back to see Allan, and by the time I left Twilight's library it seemed she has done the work already by bringing back all

her friends back to normal, it seemed that they have defeated Discord too... "How slow was I?", I tried to seek an answer in my head.

I came up to the ponies, "So... how's everybody doing today?"

"We are fine, ShadowMere." AppleJack answered

I looked up to Rarity to see if she was fine, as I looked at her our eyes met together she seemed blush a little bit, we looked at each other I could feel the love inside myself... I wish the moment would never end... we moved closer to each other... nopony noticed us... we almost kissed until our 'romantic' moment was interrupted by Allan exiting his patient room. It seemed RainbowDash was too excited for him to be recovered from his 'sleep'.

"YOUR OKAY!" RainbowDash yelled as she flew toward with a hug to Allan.

Allan asked right after the hug ended from RainbowDash, "What's going on?"

"After you and ShadowMere helped us realize that Discord had made us the opposite of our true selves, you went into a fell unconscious." Said Twilight.

I looked confused, "The last time I saw him was here... how did he helped you?"

"He helped me right after you made me realise that I have been fooled by Discord." explained Twilight

"So... what are you saying is... that he escaped... hospital?!" I went in big shock

Twilight looked at me confused, "Couldn't be... he was looking normal to me."

"Hmmm...." I scratched my head while thinking

"Well... enough of that ShadowMere it is bad as it is... we are happy that you've recovered Allan.", Twilight smiled


I went to Allan after everybody was gone, "Allan. I want you ask you something."

"What is it Shadow?" he looked tired

"I found these... under your bed and yourself." I levitated the 'Void Shard' while I spoke to Allan

He looked confused, "Really, that's......interesting."

I used my magic to put the Shard away "I know somethings going on around you but I don't care unless it directly affects me, my friends, or Rarity. So whatever it is, I think you should deal with it, before it becomes a problem. Got it... Allan?" As I finished to speak with Allan, I walked out of his patient room.


~Dear Diary~

There is something wrong in Ponyville... it seems to affect Allan... what ever it is... I shall look for it and find out what it is and what does it do. I will wait... and examine every step and move what Allan makes. I think that will lead me to an answer of this chaos.


As I put down my quilt, I went to bed waiting for a new day filled with new adventures, new places, new enemies and the truth of the 'Void Shard' power.
