"Alright, y'all. I think we've warned everypony to stay inside," Applejack states looking to her friends. Fluttershy and the others talk among one another, Fluttershy putting her faith in Discord, feeling that he will soon apprehend Tirek.

"I'll bet he takes his sweet time," Rainbow Dash says with heavy sarcasm.

Discord appearing from nowhere to Rainbow Dash's remark he states, “Or perhaps these things just take time." Fluttershy jumping into Discord for a hug asks of whether or not he had brought cucumber sandwiches that had been promised for a planned tea party. Discord replying," I did. I imagine they'll be your last decent meal for quite some time." With a snap of his fingers Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike, & Applejack are suddenly surrounded by iron bars, now being trapped inside a cage. "TA-DA!" Discord exclaims, hovering over the cage. Tirek walking in asking of whether or not Discord had gathered all of Twilight's friends, to which Discord confirms pointing at Spike while pulling his finger away from his face before he could bite it, “And her little dragon, too." Fluttershy now in tears could only wonder why Discord would do this, questioning whether or not they had even been friends in the first place. Discord happily shouting, “OH, we were. But Tirek offered me so much more than just tea parties. Surely you saw this coming." Fluttershy however, could only turn to her friends hoofs to cry, stating that she had not.

Tirek began absorbing the ponies and Spike of their natural talents, making them too weak to fight back in anyway, yet all Discord would do is turn away and frown. Tirek asking of whether or not Twilight would really do anything for her friends Discord had confirmed with glee," If Twilight has magic to give, it will be yours. Soon there won't be a Pegasus, Earth pony or unicorn who will be able to stand up against us!" Lord Tirek smiling eerily grew confused, questioning who had stated that both of them would be in power. Discord reminding Tirek of his previously said words, Tirek had suddenly grabbed Discord stating that Tirek had been using Discord the whole time to grow strong enough to steal the alicorn's magic. Opening his mouth a magical essence flew from Discord's mouth as Tirek inhaled triumphantly. Throwing Discord to the floor Discord had weakly asked in confusion grabbing a necklace given to him by Tirek before, "But you said this was a sign of your gratitude and loyalty. A gift from someone close to you." Tirek however replied in spite that it had belonged to his brother, a traitor to him, and that the necklace was as worthless as brother is. Applejack who could only repeat Discord's words, asking if Discord had seen this coming, Discord weakly replied, "I... did... I truly did," finishing his sentence Discord stood up smiling with an eerie grin.

Tirek looked at Discord in confusion, getting ready to speak he suddenly felt a tight sensation in his throat. He felt as if he had inhaled something... DISGUSTING. Suddenly beginning to choke Tirek had started to hack and cough. "Ugh... What is going ... ON?! Discoooorrrd!" Discord hovering from behind Tirek laughed, mocking Tirek for believing in him, suddenly breaking from his laughter he had given Tirek a dead gaze.

"I didn't want to believe that you would betray me. You had said you were my friend... And I believed you. But I had to... be sure. Now I have my answer," Discord saying to Tirek in calm anger. Tirek attempted to grab Discord only to fail as a dummy doll had been left into Tirek's grip. "I had truly thought you would be different. Those ponies... None of them wanted to be my friend. Even when I had truly meant it when I said that I was reformed. None of them truly wanted to be my friend." Fluttershy shouting that Discord's statement was false, that she had been a true friend to Discord. "REALLY!? Is forcing a pony to become some pony that he isn't truly friendship?! Face it you didn't want me as a friend. You only wanted to change me! You didn't want me for me! You wanted the me who would have been most convenient for you! None of you are any better! Rainbow Dash has no clue how to take a joke, and she and Pinkie Pie are pranksters! Applejack and Rainbow Dash also talked badly of me behind my back whenever they think I'm not around! Rainbow Dash just 5 minutes ago stated that I was slacking on the one job that would had been me being a truly reformed pony! Applejack just earlier had said 'good riddance stating that it was good that I wasn't around! Rarity rubbed it in my face when I was sick of my mistakes! Would any true friends do any of that?! And Pinkie Pie... She... Well actually no I don't think she did anything at all..." Pinkie despite the inappropriate time, gave a triumphant and prideful smirk, "... BUT STILL!" Clouds had begun to turn pink, as chocolate rain began to fall, the land slowly shifting colors in patterns, and houses began to tear from the ground. "I am Discord! I don't need friends! You all decided I was a bad guy, when all I wanted to do was be myself! Even when I had decided to change you all saw me as an annoyance of an existence! Do friends truly do that?! If you can't love me as a friend, you will all fear me as a tyrant!" Lightning had begun to strike all around Discord, none of the strikes attacking the cage, yet all around them.

Tirek taking a couple stepped back staring at the scenery in confusion and at Discord himself, “Don't think you'll be the one to rule Equestria! As a matter of fact, don't expect to live to see me rule! " Tirek had charged at Discord with his arm out for a lariat, with a snap of Discord's claws Tirek had run through 10 clouds of cotton candy. "... What is this?! You clown! I'll have your head on a platter!" Discord now ready for what's to come had held out a red cape, wearing a bull fighter uniform, teasing Tirek. Finally breaking free of the cotton candy clouds Tirek had roared with rage, reaching out towards Discord with both hands, "I'll tear you in half you freak of nature!" Grabbing a hold of Discord, Tirek literally torn him in two. The ponies gasped in shock, Fluttershy giving a blood curling scream looked away in terror. Yet suddenly a familiar voice was almost immediately heard.

"Do you not remember? When you attempted to attack me, I had split my face in half. But a buddy of mine should remind you." Suddenly there were 2 Discords. Then 10 then 100. "I am the embodiment of disharmony! With no elements of harmony to turn me to stone, nothing stands in my way! Not even you Tirek!" All the clones of Discord yell taking turns to yell a word. Snapping yet again chocolate rain showers over Tirek's head. Tirek attempted to move away from the rain but tripped over a plastic pool that seemed to be collecting the chocolate milk. Inflatable pools collecting all the chocolate milk were scattered across the land, making it a nuisance to attempt another charging attack. Angered from the joke Tirek screams yet again, as he yells multiple fish shaped soup tureen appear in front of Tirek's face. Tirek now in confusion had been sprayed by the tureens. Tirek yelling yet again had actually shouted in pain from being sprayed in the eyes with hot soup. Threatening Discord yet again, Discord and his clones look at him mockingly clapping their hands enjoying the show. Tirek then began to blast down the clones with bright red lasers shooting from the center of his horns. Twilight's house had, gotten blown away in the cross fire, yet somehow Owlicious had somehow been out of the house despite living there with Twighlight, almost as if he wasn't in there to begin with. It wasn't long until all clones were gone.

"Discord, come out you coward!" Tirek shouted, shaking the ground from the mere sound of his voice. Suddenly black thorny vines had suddenly shot out of the ground wrapping around Tirek. "ARG! What are these?!" Tirek shouted in confusion, black plants had rose from the vines and sprayed Tirek with gases beginning to choke Tirek along with the vines, restraining his arms and neck. "E-egnuf..." Tirek could barely make out, an orange glow coming from the middle of his horns, a laser cuts through all of the plants. "Where are you?!" Tirek shouts at the sky tearing the vines from his neck. Suddenly Tirek felt something hit his tongue... *Gulp* "What?! What was that?!" Tirek shouted in confusion. Picking something off the side of his cheek he examines it, “A... Black seed?" Suddenly a snap echoes through the land, as Discord finally appears sitting on a throne in front of Tirek. Tirek looking around laughs at Discord, “Was that all?! Is this how you surrender? By giving me a throne? Don't think a cheap throne will buy my mercy. I always knew you were a clown, you could never do anything more than joke around! Sure you can get annoying but when it comes to fighting you can't do-ugh-..." Tirek had suddenly felt something in his stomach, something horrible coming around, almost as if he were about to puke. No, he felt... Something worse...

"I heard suffocation was quite a painless way to perish, so don't worry, there SHOULD be no pain," Discord explained. As Tirek attempted to ask what had been done, black vines shot from his nose, ears, and mouth. Tirek grabbing the vines, had attempted to tear them from his throat, he was unable to breathe, the thorns of the vines, poking at his throat, and insides, the roots being too thick to pull out of his stomach. Discord sat back at his throne, staring at Tirek with bored eyes, drinking from a fancy glass. Tirek enraged to his limits began walking to Discord his laser glowing from his horns... But beginning to fade... Finally collapsed. Discord coming down from his throne picked up Tirek's head, he was still alive, Discord had opened Tirek's mouth and as he snapped his claw, magical essence flew from Tirek's mouth and into the air, yet nothing happened, it took a while but he had shrunk down to his normal small size. The Pegasi remained flightless, the Earth Ponies still weakened, and the Unicorns still powerless.

Discord snapped his fingers and a portal to Tartarus appeared, he picked up Tirek and threw him into the portal, snapping again to close it. Discord had looked back at the cage, from which his ex-friends had been imprisoned. With a snap of his fingers his ex-friends were released, as they looked at him in fear, for without the elements of harmony to fight back, they were powerless. Even Rainbow Dash was discouraged. Fluttershy had flown up to Discord for whatever reason, but Discord was in no mood to see her face. He frowned, his ears sinking as he sat upon his throne. Discord snapped and his chair began to rise into the air walls forming around him to make a cottage floating in the sky.

Author's Note

This is pretty much how I imagined Season 4 episode 26 could have ended if Discord had been able to fight Tirek!

With Ponyville transformed once more to Discord's Utopia how will Twilight handle Discord? How Will Twilight get the Key of Magic to open the box from the Tree of Harmony?! Stay tuned!
