Chapters Chapter 1: The Mystery Mare
Claire opened her eyes and looked at her husband, Illusion. She smiled as he opened his eyes and looked at her lovingly.
"Good morning sweetie." He said. Claire smiled an kissed him on the nose. Claire is a dracony, half dragon, half pony. Her full name is Crystal Clarity. She's purple with scales and two horns, one behind each ear. Her parents are Rarity and spike. Illusion is half alicorn half draconequues. He's white with a black mane, black puff of fur around his chest, and black hair on the tip of his tail. He has a red snake skin tail and red eyes, and instead of hoofs, he has paws on his front right and back left legs. His parents are Celestia and Discord. He has a cutie mark of a black star, with a black sun/moon.
"What should we do today, with Idie hanging out with her grandparents?" Illusion asked. Idie is Claire and Illusion's daughter, she's part, dragon, pony, alicorn, and draconequues. She rarely talks and can turn into any pony she's seen. She's a dark blue color with a darker mane. Her cutie mark is the face of a pony but black with white eyes.
"Why don't we just have some fun at ponyville?" Claire suggested.
"Why not?" Illusion agreed.
[AT PONYVILLE]
"Wow look at all these shops!" Claire exclaimed. She looked over to Illusion to see a bit of worry on his face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Oh, just having my doubts." He replied.
"Huh?"
"About leaving Idie with my parents, specifically Discord."
"How so?"
"You know my dad, he loves playing pranks," Illusion explained as the couple started to head back, "and Idie can turn into anypony she's seen, and that combined with Discord, can end with some serious pranking. I just don't feel comfortable having Idie being enticed into something she might not want to do."
"You shouldn't worry," Claire said as they made their way to their bedroom, "I'm sure Celestia will keep discord in check and make sure he doesn't pull any funny business." As Claire said this she gave Illusion a loving smile.
"Thanks Claire, I guess you're right."
"Besides," she continued, "there's nothing in Equestria that we can't protect our child from." Just as Claire finished saying this the door to the room closed and started to fill with strange laughter. Then, a strange, raspy voice spoke.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaa. I'm afraid to say that there are some things that you cannot protect your child from, my dear Crystal Clarity." Claire's expression turned from comforting to sharp and vigilant, her horns glowing with a light purple aura and she started to breath smoke.
"Who are you?!" She shouted as she turn in a circle to try and find who to shoot her fire at.
"We, er, I am your worst nightmare!" The mystery voice exclaimed. "But for now, you can call us, *cough*, ME, the Mystery Mare."
"Wait, how many of you are there?" Illusion asked, alert but confused.
"Just one of us, uh, me." The voice sounded unsure...
"Then why do you keep referring to yourself(s) as two or more ponies?" Illusion asked, more confusion in his voice.
"I'm still getting used to being one pony." The voice explained.
"What?" Claire asked.
"I WILL EXPLAIN LATER, ENOUGH QUESTIONS!!!" The voice yelled. "You are coming with me."
"Try and makes us!" Illusion shouted confidently.
"Yeah, and what are you going to do to my daughter?" Claire asked. "You better not hurt, or even touch her!"
"Ha, ha, ha. I might be evil, but don't worry, I want your daughter, but I won't take her. I want YOU." The voice emphasized the last word.
"Come and get us!" Claire and Illusion shouted in unison.
"Oh, I don't have too." The voice said maniacally. As she did, a strange aura surrounded Claire and Illusion. This aura was strange because it was three colors, not one, blood red, leaf green, and dark blue. And in a second, Claire and Illusion vanished.
As Claire and Illusion opened their eyes, the found themselves in a square room with four corridors, one on each side.
"W - Where?" Claire stuttered, "Where are we?"
"..." Illusion was about to answer when he saw a rather tall pony with a large black coat over it run down a corridor and turn right. "HEY!" Illusion shouted and ran after her, Claire right behind him. The pony turned another corner, Claire and Illusion close on his tail.
"Which... way... did... he... go.. now?" Claire asked, puffing between breaths.
"There!" Illusion shouted as he saw the mare's cloak disappear around another corner.
"UGH!" Claire complained. The chase continued like this for another 10 minutes. Until, finally, the Mystery Mare stood on front of a doorway for a second before dashing inside. Illusion and Claire slowed down as they entered the room. It look like a delivery room. And the Mystery Mare was nowhere to been seen.
"What? Why?" Claire questioned, very confused. She look over at Illusion hopefully for some sort of answer, only to see confusion written all over his face. "Where did, where did the Mystery Mare go?" All of a sudden, they heard a *click* behind them to see the door closed and locked.
"It's a trap..." Illusion said.
"Yeah no kidding." Claire responded, "I wonder what she wants with us?"
"Oh it's simple," the Mystery Mare said, once again nowhere to be seen only her raspy voice could be heard. "I want your children."
"What?" Claire asked.
"First off," Illusion began, "we only have one kid, and secondly," he continued, "you said you wouldn't hurt or take her."
"I'm a mare who's true to her word." The Mystery Mare began, "Like I said, I want your children."
"Did she hear a thing I said?" Illusion whisper questioned to Claire.
"I did..." The voice replied, sounding annoyed, "Why don't you let me finish? Anyway, I said I want your kids, true you only have one, but you can always make more."
[NOTE: PAST HERE IS GORE AND SEX AND OTHER GROSS STUFF, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN WILL!!]
Claire and Illusion looked at each other before turing tomato red. Claire dared to ask her next question, "What do u mean?" Her voice sounding scared.
"It's simple really," the Mystery Mare replied, "you two will make love, then you will drink this potion, Claire, which will speed up the development of the foal, skipping all 11 months. A few minutes after, you will enter labor, and give birth. We will then take the foal or filly, and the blood from when your water breaks-" Before the voice could continue, Claire started yelling.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! THERE'S NO WAY I'D HAVE SEX WITH ILLUSION IF IT MEANT HELPING YOU!! ALSO, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE FOAL OR AND THE... BLOOD?! AND IN EQUESTRIA DO YOU SPEED UP FOAL DEVELOPMENT?!"
"I was about to explain before you so rudely interrupted." The Mystery Mare said with a sharp tone, "First, we will drain the magic from the foal or filly, if you're wondering why it's because it's extremely powerful. Second, it's the blood from when your water breaks that allows me to make the potion to speed up the development, that and a few other things. Third, if you refuse to make love with him we... I, will control you both and force you to. And continuing from what I was saying earlier, we will then give you a potion that will speed up your monthly bleeding, you to will make love again, and the cycle continues. We'd timed this perfectly so you'd be on your bleeding when we took you here. Fortunately, we don't need your blood to speed up the monthly bleeding, we just made a simple potion. So, you two have sex, Claire will drink the potion, she'll give birth, we'll take the foal or filly, age it to age three, when the magic is fresh and powerful, drain it's power, send the earth pony or pegasus to a wealthy orphanage where ponies come every day to adopt, then you'll drink another potion which will speed up the monthly bleeding, and the cycle starts all over again!" The Mystery Mare finished with a happier tone.
All Claire and Illusion could do was stand and stare in shock. They opened their mouths but no words came out.
"Now then," the Mystery Mare cooed, "shall we get on with it? Don't worry, I won't watch." Minutes passed and nopony spoke a word. Finally, the Mystery Mare spoke, "Fine! Mind control it is!" Before Claire or Illusion could argue their brains were suddenly washed away, their eyes glazed over and empty. In the very back of the now controlled ponies, the real Claire and Illusion tried to fight against the mind control, but it was now use. The now hypnotized Illusion got on top of the hypnotized Claire and rock the boat. The Mystery Mare made sure that Claire became pregnant before releasing her control over the helpless ponies. When Claire and Illusion came to, they both looked at each other and turned a bright red.
"Now then," the Mystery Mare said once more, "drink this." A vial with a purple substance and a cork on top was levitated towards Claire. The cork came off and before Claire could protest the liquid was shoved down her throat. It didn't taste bad. But the thought that the blood from when her water broke was in made Claire want to puke.
"Wait," Illusion said, "how did you even know this was the time to capture us how did you get her... blood?"
"I have my ways." The Mystery Mare replied.
"Ugh." Claire complained as she held her stomach. "I feel..." Before she could finish her belly started to grow and kept growing until it reached the size it would be at 11 months of pregnancy. Claire and Illusion only stared in shock.
"I will tell when to push." The Mystery Mare said cooly. A few minutes passed. Claire decided to make her way to gurney just to be ready. Just as she got on she felt a tightening in her belly.
"AH!" She screaming as the pain grew. Illusion rushed over to her and held out his paw for her to hold. Claire squeezed it so tight Illusion thought his paw might snap. Hours passed, the only noises that were heard was Claire yelping in pain and Illusion comforting her. "How long has it been? When will this nightmare YAAAAH!"
"You can do it Claire, you've done it before, easy right?" Illusion said, trying to reassure her.
"EASY?!" Claire shrieked, "YOU THINK THIS IS EASY?!" Another two hours passed when...
"Push." The Mystery Mare said.
"SWEET CELESTIA!!" Claire screamed as she pushed, "THIS HURTS BEYOND DESCRIPTION!!!!" Finally, they heard crying. Claire and Illusion only caught a flash of the foal before it was teleported away to be aged and have it's power drained. "Wait," Claire started breathing heavily, "you said after draining it's power it'd be an earth pony or pegasus, what about a unicorn?"
"Claire, all it's magic will be gone, it couldn't be a unicorn if it didn't have magic." The Mystery Mare replied confidently. Illusion looked at Claire with sadness and worry in his eyes. Claire was suddenly picked up by the strange multicolored aura and placed on the ground on all fours. Then a vial with a blue potion was brought to her. "Drink this now." It was the potion which would speed up the bleeding. Before Claire could respond (again) the potion was shoved down her gullet. She and Illusion were taken control of, once again and the cycle repeated two more times. But on the third time, Illusion was fed up, it was his job to protect his wife. Claire was going to go into labor again in a minute. Illusion thought hard, then, a light flickered in his head. His horns started to glow brighter and brighter with a black aura.
"Illusion, what...?" Claire started.
"What are you...?" The Mystery Mare asked. There was a sudden flash of light. "GAH!"
As "Claire" woke up, "she" felt different. "What was that all about? HUH? My voice!" "She" said...
Or rather, he...

Hi, I have trouble thinking up of stuff so it might take some time to come up with new chapters. Also, please tell me if I have any grammar errors! I'm also in middle school so I don't have a lot of time on my hands.
Chapter 2: Is It A He, Or A She?
"What's going on?" "Claire" asked. "She" looked over at "Illusion" who was lying on the floor. "Illusion! What did you do?"
"I..." "He" started. But before "he" finished, "he" looked up at "Claire". "Illusion" was not longer a stallion, but a mare, and "Claire" was not longer a mare, but a stallion. "I did it to protect you." She said.
"NO, NO, NO!!!" The Mystery Mare yelled, "You've ruined it! Now I must actually wait 11 months for you to give birth!"
"What?" "Claire" asked as he looked over and "Illusion".
"I'm carrying the foal now." She said.
"Foals to be exact. Three of them." The Mystery Mare said with an annoyed tone.
"..."
"Well now that we're switched, we're probably going to need different names." "Claire" suggested. "Would your name be Mirage?"
"I guess," Mirage said, "would yours be Crystal Clark?"
"Sounds good."
"Yes, yes, everything's just fine and dandy!" The Mystery Mare whined, "I'm going to give you 10 minutes to get out of here. But, I have placed a tracking spell on you, so when you go into labor you'll be teleported back here. And don't try have any alicorn or unicorn put a tracking spell on you because my magic will backfire it. And finally, once you pass the field surrounding this "place", you will forget where this location is and be teleported back to Chanterlot. Your 10 minutes begin... NOW!" One she finished the sentence the door unlocked and opened, Clark and Mirage bolted out of the room.
"Which way do we go?" Clark asked.
"Let's just go back to where we started and go a different direction and look for a light or a way out." Mirage suggested. And they did just that, seven minutes later they were back where they had been teleported. "There's a light over there!" Mirage pointed. As they exited the hallway what they found startled them.
"We're, we're, we're on a planet!" Clark exclaimed, shocked. The planed was black with a multicolored aura surrounding it, just like the same aura which teleported them to this place. The planet was grayish black with many large holes onside. "We must been in the center." Clark guessed.
"There's no time to ponder, we have to jump towards the field, we've only got one minute!" Mirage said. So, they jumped.
WHOOMP!! Clark and Mirage were glad they have a soft bed. Unfortunately, that didn't stop Mirage from holding her paw over her mouth and her hoof over her stomach. She then bolted for the bathroom. "HURG!"
"First sign of pregnancy, morning sickness." Clark thought.
"Ugh, how long will this last?" Mirage complained.
"Three to four months, depends." Clark said while moving his claw in a so-so motion. After he said this Mirage flopped on the floor. "You have to be careful, even for the first few days." Before Mirage could reply they heard a *knock knock*. "Who's there?" Clark asked.
"I'm from the royal guard." The pony outside replied. "Princess Claire, Prince Illusion, are you in there?"
"More or less." Clark replied.
"You've been missing for a while, when Princess Celestia came to return Idie, the door was locked and you weren't inside. I assume now that you're back she wishes to see you. Shall I go get her?" The guard asked.
"Yes, but, only certain ponies may enter at this time. I will name them. Celestia, Discord, Idie, Luna, Nidra, Spike, T, Peridot Flame, Anastasia, and Oasis. Find them and bring them here." Clark ordered.
"Yes sir," the guard said, thinking it was Illusion speaking, "I will fetch them immediately!" The guard knew where Celestia was, in the Royal Gardens. As he entered, he saw everypony Clark named there. Convenient. "Princess Celestia!" He called, "Prince Illusion and his wife have returned, they ordered that they would only see you ponies." As he said this he pointed to everypony else that was there. "They are in their bedroom chambers awaiting you."
"I wonder why they only want to see us?" Discord wondered, "Maybe Claire is pregnant again!" As they entered the room, they didn't see Mirage (Who they think is still Illusion), they only saw Clark (Claire), hiding under a blanket. There was silence until finally, Spike spoke up.
"Claire, is something wrong?"
"Yes," Clark responded, "in fact, things couldn't be worse!" As he said this he sat up from under the blanket revealing he was no longer a she. "Oh, and my name's Clark now, not Claire." He looked up to see his family and friends in shock at what they saw.
"Where's Illusion?" T asked.
"You mean Mirage?" Clark corrected him. "She's-" Before Clark could finish his sentence, they all heard a noise in the bathroom.
"HUUURG!" The toilet flushed and Mirage walked out, her eyes with black circles under them. She look tired. She walked over to Clark, flopped over on the ground and curled into a sleeping position."
"What happened to you two, are you alright?" Luna asked, worry filled her voice.
"Mirage switched our genders to protect me." Clark said.
"But why?" T asked.
"Well..." Clark started, before he continued he and Mirage looked at each other and both turned red. "It all started while Idie was hanging out with Celestia and Discord..." As he told the story their faces went from worried to shocked and horrified. "And so yeah, that's what happened." Clark said as he finished.
"Isn't the Mystery Mare a cheesy name?" Discord asked.
"That's not important!" Clark said.
"Wait so," Nidra started, "Illu- Mirage is with foal now?"
"Yep." Mirage answered.
"I don't remember you saying that a Draconequues couldn't place a tracking spell on you without backfiring..." Discord said, "Should we try it?"
"Sure, why not?" Clark answered. Discord snapped his fingers. Clark and Mirage waited to see if the multicolored aura do something but nothing happened. "It worked!" Clark exclaimed.
"Looks like Mirage is going to have to find out the hardships of having a foal." Celestia giggled.
"Foals." Mirage said with a tired tone. "There's three." After she said this everypony just stood in shock.
"We should probably tell the guards and everypony else so they do not get confused." Luna suggested.
"Yeah, let's." Clark agreed. As they exited Clark walked over to talk to a royal guard, "Soldier, me and Illusion genders have been switched, I am Clark now, and Illusion is Mirage, she it also with foal, it's a long story. Pass this on so other guards don't mistake us as intruders. And please don't just us"
"Yes sir!" The guard said. He saluted and went to inform the others. As he did, Clark returned to his wife, who was lying on the floor looking moaning at her discomfort.
Clark smiled as he thought about how Mirage will have to endure what he did. "This is going to be fun, you're going to see how 'easy' it is." He said with a smile.

Chapter 3: Experiencing Pregnancy
MORNING SICKNESS:
Clark awoke to a lovely morning, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and... Mirage was... nowhere to be... seen... "Mirage? Where are you?" Clark asked. Recently Clark was a female and Illusion was a male, but Illusion switched their genders to protect Claire (Clark). Now Mirage is with foals. (Read the previous chapters to understand). Clark got his answer not a moment later, when a noise came from the bathroom.
"HUUURRRG!!" Clark heard chunks hitting water from inside the bathroom. A few minutes later, looking awful, Mirage walked out. Clark simply smirked with a cocky look on his face. "What's so funny?" Mirage asked.
"Enjoying your morning sickness sweetie?" Clark asked sarcastically.
"WHY ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME?!" Mirage shouted. "You have no idea how this feels!" Immediately after saying this Mirage clamped her hoof and paw over her mouth and looked at Clark who's cocky smile had turned into death stare.
"I actually have a pretty good idea on how that feels thank you very much!" Clark shouted back. He looked over to Mirage to see a guilty look on her face.
"Sorry." Was all she could say before rushing to the bathroom to throw up some more. She walked out looking even gloomier. "How long does this last?" She moaned as she flopped on the bed.
"From what I recall... 3-4 months, depends." Clark answered, shrugging his shoulders.
"UGH... Why?" Mirage questioned lifting her head.
"Well, from what I've heard, one of the main causes is because of the changes that are happening inside you. Others are hormones or you just have a sensitive stomach." Clark replied. "And in my opinion you DO have a sensitive stomach."
"DO NOT!"
"You barfed after I force fed you my food cravings when I was pregnant! You were all like, BLAGH!"
"Ha, ha, very funny."
"Wait here, from my experience nothing helps morning sickness more than hot soup." Clark said as he walked out of the room. As he turned the corner, he almost ran into Discord. "Oh, sorry."
"Not at all a problem." Discord replied, "Where are you off to? And without Mirage?" He asked while looking over Clark's shoulder.
"Oh she's in the room, I told her to wait, I'm just getting some soup. It helps the morning sickness." Clark answered.
"Really? You should ask Tia for advice. I know you've experienced pregnancy, but maybe you should get some advice from other mares." Discord suggested.
"Not a bad idea, I'll have to tell Mirage if I'm going to do that. But right now I need to get some soup." Clark said as he went around Discord and started to walk off. As Clark walked back to the room, she started to slow down. "I know I threw up when I was pregnant, but, not as much as Mirage." Clark said to herself. "I wonder why..." Clark entered the room to see Celestia inside.
"Hello Clark." She said gently. She was sitting next to Mirage who was on the floor.
"Hi," Clark responded, "Um, Celestia? Discord suggested I get some advice from you for pregnancy. Even though it's Mirage who's having the foal. What do you suggest she do for morning sickness?"
"Well, I'd have some soup, like you, and I'd try to sleep, and try not over work yourself."
"Trying to fall asleep is hard when you feel like barfing..." Mirage complained as she took small spoonfuls of the soup.
"Don't worry, you'll make it." Celestia replied with a loving smile.
MOOD SWINGS:
PICKY: "I am not eating this." Mirage complained as she pushed the plate away from her. "It's so gross, can't I have something else, I mean, are you trying to starve me?"
"Mood swings," Clark whispered to himself, "being picky is the worse in my opinion."
SAD: "Look at meeeeee!" Mirage cried, "I'm fat!"
*Donk* *donk* (Clark's head hitting the wall)
MAD/ANNOYED: "STOP HITTING YOU HEAD AGAINST THE WALL!!"
"... meh ..."
"EXCUSE ME?!"
FOOD CRAVINGS:
Clark looked at the plate, grossed out, but not surprised. "Food cravings..." He said as he walked down the hall and into his room, "I can't even tell what it is... I'm back!"
"Great I'm starving!" Mirage said, putting her book on pregnancy down.
"Sooo, what did you order? I'm not surprised, I just can't tell what it is... Or what's in it."
"Oh, just a mix of hay, carrots, cucumber, grilled zucchini, raw fish, and some ice cream," Mirage replied, "topped with chocolate, caramel, popcorn, cookie crumbs, and frosting."
"I see..." Clark watched Mirage eat with a slight look of disgust on his face.
"You're not grossed out at all." Mirage noted.
"Well, I have done this..." Clark replied, the look of disgust turned to a cocky smile. "Which reminds me... Remember the time where I force fed-"
"Say it and I'll force feed you mine." Mirage shot back, while holding a piece of her food in front of Clark.
"Alright, alright."
STOMACH GROWTH:
BEGINNING: "GAH! I'm getting so fat!" Mirage complained.
"You're only at three months..." Clark replied.
"Yeah, and look at me!"
"... You're being over dramatic ..."
"AM NOT!"
MIDDLE:
"Okay, now, I am fat."
"Maybe a little." Clark teased.
"Hheeyy!"
"Pffftt HA HA!"
"Oh shut up!"
END(ish):
"... Do I need to say it?"
"Yeah, you ARE fat." Clark said while reading a book.
"Hey!"
"What? You were going to say it anyway!"
"Doesn't give you the right to!"
"Says who?"
"ME!"
"So, how is it?" Clark asked.
"How's what" Mirage replied
"Is it easy?"
"WHAT?!"
"Pregnancy, having foals, the works." He answered.
"Alright, so it's not easy."
"You're not even at the hardest part."
"I'm not?"
"Nope, the hardest part is giving birth." Clark said, looking up from his book.

Chapter 4: The Mystery Mare, the foals, and the chaos?! (Oh, boy)
"Gah, my back is killing me!" Mirage whined. "Carrying three foals is so hard!" Mirage is almost at 11 months, so she could give at any random moment... (hint hint). Clark and Mirage are walking through the castle making their way to the royal gardens.
"I emphasize, I know what it's like carrying one foal, but three, not so sure what it feels like." Clark replied.
"It feels like someone place a one ton block on my back!"
"How heavy are you?"
"That's a rude question! I feel like I weigh one billion pounds!"
"Well, one foal is 10% of you body weight, so three foals is..."
"30%, yeah. And by how heavy they are I feel like a fat pig. No offense to the pigs."
"Not all pigs are fat you know." Clark said.
"Oh you know what I mean!" Mirage replied as they entered the garden.
"Fatty, fatty, fatty!" Clark teased.
"Heeey!" Mirage whined. She had learned to control her mood swings, so she wouldn't start yelling or crying if Clark teased her. "That's not nice!"
"You sounded like my mom just now!" Clark giggled. He paused to remember his mother, Rarity, and then they continued on through the gardens. They finally came upon the center, where a peaceful gazebo stood.
"Come on, come on." Mirage quietly encouraged herself as she squeezed onto the seat across from Clark. "Ah, feels nice to sit down." Mirage looked over to Clark who looked like he was trying to stifle his laughter. "What's so funny?" Mirage glared.
"PFFFTTT!!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Clark burst out in laughter and started smacking the table.
"What?!" Mirage asked, completely confused as to why Clark was laughing at her.
"Is just," Clark managed between breaths, "you're so funny! You're gently scooting yourself into the seat like, 'come on, come on' it's so cute!"
Yeah, yeah," Mirage started, "it's such a laugh. Ha, ha, AAAHHH!!" Mirage yelled out in pain, gritting her teeth and clutching her stomach.
"Is it the foals?" Clark asked as he shot up out of his seat. Before Mirage could answer, they were back inside the room. Mirage was on a hospital gurney, Clark on his right. "Never mind..."
"Ha, ha, ha!" The Mystery Mare chuckled. "Did you miss me?"
CANTERLOT:
"Woah!" Discord exclaimed as his body started wiggling like a noodle.
"What is it?" Celestia asked.
"Hmmm, lemme think... I set that reaction for when one of my spells was activated... Now I remember!" Discord said, snapping his fingers. "I set that reaction to when Mirage goes into labor and is teleported away!"
"..."
"What's wrong?... OOOhhhhh...."
"Takes us to her!"
"Sister, is something wrong?" Luna asked as she walked into the room.
"Mirage is going into labor. Discord, you need to take us to her."
"Not the best idea." Discord replied flatly. "And I'll explain why, don't you think that 'Mystery Mare' would do something if we suddenly just popped into her lair?" Before either of the two sisters could reply, Discord continued, "Here's what we'll do, right before, and mean like a split second before the first foal come out, we teleport there. You Tia, put a spell around them blocking anypony from touching them except you and Mirage. Then, we kick that Mystery Mare's behind!"
"I guess we could do that..." Tia agreed.
"Yes, a good plan." Luna concurred.
MYSTERY MARE'S PLANET/LAIR:
Mirage's screams of pain filled the halls and flew out the holes of the planet and slowly grew silent as they went out into space. "Why? Why does this hurt?!" She cried.
"You muscles are contracting in order to push the foals out." The Mystery Mare replied.
"Why won't they come out?!"
"... There has to be an 'opening'."
"What?"
"The foals have to come out of somewhere, right?" Clark interjected. "The opening has to be at least 10 centimeters wide and high. This takes some time."
"AUGH!" Mirage screamed, and kept doing doing so for six excruciating hours. Finally, it was time.
"Push." The Mystery Mare said. Just as she was about to whisk away the first foal, Discord, Celestia, and Luna appeared. The foal was then protected by a yellow orb of light. The same happened for the next two foals. "Hey, the foals belong to me!" The Mystery Mare shouted with anger.
"No." Tia replied sharply. "They belong to Mirage and Clark." The foals had stopped crying and had begun sucking on Mirage's teats. "Clark, watch over her, we'll take care or this."
"Now show yourself villain!" Luna shouted using the royal Chanterlot voice.
"Yeah, put up your dukes." Discord said while fist punching the air.
"I don't think so," the Mystery Mare started, "you see, I'm as hideous as Discord."
"HEY!" Discord complained, dropping his fists to his waist, "I happen to be roguishly handsome!"
"Come out and fight thee, coward!" Luna yelled.
"Coward, HA HA HA HA HA!!!" The Mystery Mare started laughing hysterically. "You really are pathetic."
"You know what's pathetic?" Discord asked, "You're name, Mystery Mare, really? That's so cheesy, can't you come up with something better."
"If you knew what I looked like you'd understand."
"But we don't know what you look like." Tia said.
"You could always show us" Luna added, the slightest bit of hate in her tone.
"As you wish," the Mystery Mare said, "but what you'll see will leave you shocked."
"Try me." Discord replied, narrowing his eyes and swiveling his head.
"Very well." A multicolored aura appeared in front of them, and then, a flash of light. And what Clark, Mirage, Celestia, Luna, and even Discord saw, truly did, shock them.
