Twilight was reading some spell books peacefully and it was as silent as a mouse, as Spike was sleeping, but anyways, remember, it was, until a certain draconeqqus happened to barge in and scare the livings out of her!

“Discord! What are you doing here? And what happened to your leg?” Twilight asked clearly annoyed.

“No time for that-I think Fluttershy has just been kidnapped!” Discord shouted frantically, and before Twilight could even react, he took her hoof and teleported over to Sweet Apple Acres.

“What in tarnation?” AppleJack asked as she shot up in surprise, as the teleportation had spooked her. “No time to explain, AJ, but I think Fluttershy’s been kidnapped!” And so he took her hoof and teleported yet again, this time over to Pinkie’s place.

“Woah! Discord! What are you doing here?” Pinkie asked, as she had not been spooked by his and her other friends' sudden appearance.

But this time Discord did not respond, for the two large teleportations had left him speechless, and he had to take deep breaths before he could answer.

“I….think...Fluttershy’s...been….kidnapped! And..we probably should have had Rainbow and Rarity here too right now, but those teleportations have left me-” He panted.

“Exhausted? Don’t worry-I’ll get them.” And with that Twilight left, as Discord made a small couch appear so he could sit down. In a flash Twilight was back with Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

“Now that we are all here, could you explain what happened?” Rarity asked expectantly.

“Ugh...no...time to explain….she just went outside...and disappeared!” Discord explained and shook his head, as it left him dizzy. You see, when Discord telports all his friends at one time, he usually had time to recuparate before he tries again, and since he had just gotten his ability to use his chaotic magic again properly, the unprepared teleports had took more energy than usual. Otherwise, he is quite powerful and can do it quite easily, yet just in this state he had been having problems, with all his injuries and all that. Doesn't make sense? Well, what do you expect, this is Discord. Discord doesn't make sense.

“Are you sure that this isn’t just some trick?” Rainbow asked suspiciously as the others gasped in shock from the news.

“Seriously? Why else would I waste all my energy on bringing the lot of you here? But anyways, we have to go and find her!” Discord struggled to pick himself up and float above the ground, making the couch disappear. She didn’t know how, but Twilight (along with AJ) could sense that he was truly being honest.

“If you say so, but I gotta ask, where did you last see her? In her garden? Inside the cottage?” Twilight questioned, much to the others surprise of her undoubtful agreement with Discord.

“Right outside the house, picking up branches from the dead Timberwolves.” He replied, but immediately regretted it as the other gave him shocked and surprisedlooks.

“T-Timberwolves? Pardon me, but what do ya mean by that?” AppleJack stammered.

“Well, just to quicken it up, let’s say Fluttershy had an encounter with a few of them, and well, that’s where I got this,” He pointed at his goat leg. “ But anyways, let's go!”

But the others could barely listen. Discord saving Fluttershy from Timberwolves? Maybe they had thought him wrong.
Twilight shook her head, to snap out of her daze. “Of course, Discord, Rarity and I can even help you get us there. Everypony, join hooves." Twilight and Rarity took Discord’s Paw and Claw. Everypony else took ahold of one another’s hooves. With the combined magic of the three beings, they easily teleported to the outside of Fluttershy’s cottage.

“Now, where is she?” Rainbow asked.

“I told you, I don’t know! That’s why I’ve brought you all here! Now, let’s start searching!” Discord flew into the Everfree Forest, and when he noticed they weren’t coming along with him, he said:

“Well, are you coming or not?”

“Well, um, it’s just that-” Rarity began, her pupils shrunken in fear at the ghastly forest.

“Oh nevermind, you ponies are too scared to be on your own. How about pairs? One pair looks in each direction, North, East, West, and, well, Fluttershy’s cottage is South, so don’t mind looking there.” Discord sighed. ‘Such cowards’ He thought.

“Who’s going to be with who?” Rarity asked again.

“Well since there are 3 beings here who can use magic, I suggest one for each non-unicorn or draconeqqus.” Discord guessed.

“Hey, you sayin’ we Earth ponies can’t handle ourselves?” AppleJack asked as she eyed him angrily.

“No, it’s just for...teleportation uses. But anyways, just pair up quick, and get going!” Discord shouted in mid-air.

“Yo-kay! Ah’ll be with Rarity!” Came AppleJack cry from down below. But before anyone can answer, Discord deanpanned before the unavoidable came.

“Okay, okay! One group will have a pair of three! Now go!” Discord exclaimed and flew, or should I say floated, off into the distance, and soon after the ponies joined up and started their search for the missing yellow pegasus deep into the Everfree Forest.

Fluttershy was scared. Very scared. She was being chased around by some thing that she could not see, or at least not at the moment. She galloped as fast as she could, scared for her life. ‘Oh, where’s a friend to help when you need it?’ She asked herself as she ran.

Suddenly she found herself smacking into an invisible wall, and the monster behinjd her laughed.

“My, my, what do we have here, a pony, perhaps? Hmm, they always amuse me.” The monster revealed itself as a large, black demon pony, with huge, tattered, bat-like wings. It was ery frightening, and the monster’s deep, dark, voice made it all the scarier.

“You can not get out, little earth pony, for I have these walls that surround you 50 feet tall! Even an olympic jumper couldn’t do that, let a regular earth pony. Oh, have I forgot to introduce myself? I am Dark Age, The Lord of Darkness! Mwahahahahahaha!” Dark Age laughed.

But that didn’t matter. What mattered was that he had no idea that she was a pegasus, and that was what she used to her advantage. Bravely, she squeaked:

“O-Oh yeah? Well, then l-let’s see about that!” Fluttershy burst into the air, to the point where she thought was above the invisible walls, and flew as fast as she could, which wasn’t very fast, but fast enough to just get out of the demon’s way.

But Dark Age was creeping closer, and closer, until they were a mere eight-some feet away, and right when he was about to finish her, Dark Age stopped immediately.

“Discord? What in the name of Nightmares are you doing here? And what happened to you?” Came his sudden, surprised boom. In front of him stood Discord, whom he practically considered a brother, as they were both “Lords”.

“Dark Age! What are you doing terrorizing my dear friend, Fluttershy?” he asked sternly, and straight to the point.

“Ha! Since when did you have friends, dear brother?" He laughed.

“Since my reforming, by the prissy Tia’s rule!” Discord retorted. “But that doesn’t mean that I am not powerful anymore! Why, I could turn you into a frog, or a bunny, in an instant if you dare hurt her!”

“My, my, Discord!” Dark Age said, slowly circling around his "brother". “I thought that you were the Lord of Chaos! Whatever happened, my dear brother?” Dark Age had tried to manipulate Discord, but only few times did he ever succeed. Nonetheless, he tried again. “We could rule the world together, could we not? Yes, the ponies could live in both Darkness and Chaos, could they not?” He paused before continuing. “Hmm, yes we could, dear brother!”

“Enough! I will not dare be brother with one who tries to manipulate me! Not after my encounter with Tirek!” Discord cried.

“Then only one shall be one Lord! Let you suffer on this day Discord, for we shall fight!” Dark Age readied himself into a fighting stance.

“Anywhere, any time!” Discord dared.

“Stop!” Came a sudden shout from Fluttershy. “Please! Both of you can be Lords! There are plenty in the world! So please don’t fight each other! Discord has already been wounded from battling Timberwolves and I don’t want him to get hurt anymore!”

“Wait," Dark Age stopped, his face glowing with new found realization. "so you’ve been fighting...all this time? Creating suffering to other kinds?” Dark Age inquiried.

“Um, sure! Yes!” Discord puffed out his chest in hopes to look honest to his word. “What else do you think happened to me?”

“Very well then, brother. Seeing that you have not gotten soft and do deserve to be named the title “Lord”, then I shalln’t disturb anymore. Farewell, brother.” He turned around. “By the way, give the princesses my regards and tell then I want them dead.”

“I will,” Discord called, and Dark Age left, leaving both speechless. It had just tooken that one lie to make him stop the enitre tussle!

Fluttershy sighed with relief, happy that the two weren’t going to fight each other and get hurt. She needed to thank Discord yet again for saving her!

“D-Discord!”

“Yes?” He turned around as he headed back towards Fluttershy’s cottage.

“Thank you, for saving me again.” She muttered.

“Oh, you don’t need to thank me, really, my dear!” Discord yelped in modesty.

“Why not? You’ve saved me twice, all in a matter of one day! And, how you just told him to back off, that was a-amazing!” Fluttershy exclaimed as she followed the draconeqqus.

“I’ve known him a long time, too. Being a villain means you get to know villains, which can be very useful, as you just saw there. Ah, the fun, or should I say, darkly chaotic times we’ve had together, ravaging havoc among the beings of...whatever things that were nearby.”

“Discord…..” She warned.

“Yeah, yeah, I know, don’t start thinking about ravaging havoc on Equestria again,” Discord grumbled with an annoyed sigh, and the two headed home.
