WAT - The Many Adventures of Team Crafted in Equestria

"Ty! Ty!" Quentin cried, getting hoarse. Heh, 'hoarse.' And I'm a horse, he thought, then shook his head as he ran faster than he ever could as a human. Focus, Quentin. This is serious. You could never see your friend again.

Suddenly, a hedge shot up from the ground in front of him, blocking his path. Quentin skidded to a halt just before crashing into it and looked around quickly, chest burning with every breath. "Where are you going to run now, little fish?" Discord asked, his voice echoey. He wasn't there, but talking from somewhere else. Quentin was suddenly hit with a tidal wave of determination, anger, and desperation to find Ty and bring him back. "I...am...not...a...FISH!" he screamed, and bolted straight through the hedge. Every time one popped up, which was about every five feet or so, Quentin would just crash straight through and keep running.

Finally, he reached the outside and closed his eyes, smiling. He was finally out of that Notchforsaken maze! But then he remembered it wasn't over yet...Quentin looked around and found the castle not too far from the maze. He sighed, made sure he was ready, and began running.

Celestia backed up with every step Enderlox took closer. Twilight's horn began to glow as well, and her eyes were filling with tears. She hadn't known Deadlox and his friends for long at all, and personally she thought they were rude, crude, and uncouth, but beneath that she knew they were goodhearted and honorable. To see somepony like them be like this, though, made her cry. "Ty!" she said. "This isn't you. I know you're in there somewhere. Fight it, Ty!"

Enderlox stopped advancing, but the light at the tip of his horn continued to get brighter. He started to laugh again, and Twilight backed up again, but there wasn't any more room to go backwards and she found herself pressed up against the marble wall. "Ty--!" she said. Enderlox suddenly stopped laughing abruptly, his dark laughter replaced by cries of pain. He squeezed his eyes shut, grimacing, and Twilight watched in terror as the dragon-pony doubled over coughing. Celestia stared, mouth open, eyes wide.

Enderlox had laid on his side, and had grown absolutely still. "...Ty...?" Twilight asked softly. Enderlox's eyes flickered open, and they were deep crimson with round pupils. He coughed a bit, and shakily stood on his hooves. "I...I..." he said. His voice was much gentler than before, and there was no hostility in it. "I can't...you have to go, Twilight," he said suddenly. His red gaze was locked on Twilight's purple eyes. "Why?" Twilight asked, worried. "I--he's coming back--" Ty said. "Just--go--"

"But what were you going to say?" Twilight asked, barely audible. "D-Discord's back--all of the others are--Discorded--you have to save them--GO!" Before Twilight could do anything else, Ty cringed once more and the dragon eyes were back. "Hello again," Enderlox said. "Where were we...oh yes. I was just about to kill you all."

         Celestia's horn was glowing brighter. "Twilight, you need to take care of Discord. The fate of Equestria hangs in the balance, and only the Elements of Harmony can stop Discord," she said. "But Princess, what about--" Twilight began. "I'll take care of this, just go!" Celestia said. Twilight hesitated for one second, then darted out if the room. Enderlox let her go, but really it was just Deadlox taking control a little bit. Enderlox growled, looking at Celestia with narrow eyes. "If you hurt me, you will also hurt the innocent soul that...shares this body," he said. "What do you mean?" Celestia asked. "Did you not hear him warn you? That was not me...I would never warn anypony. Anyway, Deadlox and I share bodies. We are separate, yet we are one. You are almost draconic in your knowledge, Celestia, I thought you would have picked up on this," Enderlox said. Celestia's horn was growing ever brighter, but...if what this creature was saying was true, she couldn't harm him for fear of killing the innocent soul within. What was she to do?

        Twilight was running fast. How can Discord be back? she wondered frantically. She wasn't looking where she was going, and suddenly she bumped into something--or somepony!

        "Quentin?" Twilight asked, slightly confused. The fish--amphibian--human--pony--whatever had been knocked on his haunches and was shaking his head. "Twi?" he asked, blinking and looking to his right. Then he looked at Twilight, and quickly got back up onto his hooves. "I can't talk right now, Twi, I have to get to Ty," he said. Twilight stood up as well and shook her head, holding a hoof to Quentin's chest. "No...no, Quentin. Ty's not the same...I saw him, and he's with Princess Celestia. He warned me of Discord before he...I'm so sorry, Quentin. He's gone," she said.

Quentin staggered back, eyes shining. He shook his head a few times. "No...no. No, he can't be gone...Ty...he can't...no..." he said. "I'm sorry, Quentin, I really am. There was nothing we could've done," Twilight said.

Suddenly, a shadow fell across them both. Quentin looked up abruptly, eyes wide. "What--" he began. Enderlox landed in front of him. But his eyes weren't purple. "I knew you'd be crying. I KNEW it," he said. Quentin broke into a wide smile. "How did--" he started. Celestia landed beside them. Twilight was just staring open-mouthed at the scene unfolding before her. "I...I...what?" she said. "I managed to cast a spell putting Ty's dragon side at bay for now. It is not permanent, but you do not have to worry about Enderlox for at least another day or so," Celestia said. Ty nodded, looking down at Quentin, the looked ahead and squinted. "So...the others are Discorded," he said.

"Yeah," Quentin said. "Sky's being SquidDoesMinecraft. So...yeah." Ty frowned, still looking ahead. "We gotta fix that, then."

So Quentin, Ty, and Twilight began the epic journey back to the maze to find and defeat the draconiquus Discord.
