A Darken Crystal

Kira and Twilight came around a corner to see five cages. The cage to the far right held Pinkie Pie. The cage just to the left of her was Rarity and Sweetie Belle. The middle cage was empty. The to the left held Apple Jack, Big Mack and Apple Bloom. The cage to the far left held Discord. The ponies immediately shuffled to back of their cage. Discord didn't look up.

"Hello ponies, Discord." Kira said meeting the the gaze of all but Discord.

"Let us go ya big meanie!" Pinkie shouted standing up.

"Hmm, no! Now the-" Rainbow Dash swooped in and hit Kira offside the head.

"Take that!" Dash yelled as she flew higher into the sky.

"How could I have possibly forgotten about the escapee." Kira looked up at Rainbow Dash. By now every pony was looking up in anticipation, including Discord. "What is she doing?" Kira said watching as Dash kept flying higher and higher. After a minute, Rainbow Dash went into a dive. "What on Earth is sh-... You have got to be kidding me!" Kira said disappointingly. "She's going to do a sonic r.. ra.. rain.. boom." Kira disgustedly. Rainbow Dash was falling faster and faster as the signature cone shape started to form. "Well if one is to go out in such fashion what better death than by most infamous of sorts." Kira looked at Twilight. Twilight shifted her gaze from Dash to Kira as Kira let out a small, yet wicked  smile.

"Go Rainbow! You can do it!" Spike yelled standing up on Twilight's back. Twilight took a moment think about what Kira just said until it donged on her.

"RAINBOW! NO!" But Twilight was too late. Rainbow Dash had just did the sonic rain-boom and a vibrant rainbow dashed out the bottom. Rainbow Dash aimed directly for Kira. Twilight watched as the rainbow zoomed past Twilight as if nothing had happened. "Wait! What? What the?" Twilight stared utterly baffled by the sight of Kira still standing tall.

"Ptoo. Ble!" Kira looked over at Twilight. "I believe you would get a better understanding of the situation if you were to turn around." Kira gestured by pointing one of her claws towards the cages. Twilight turned around and saw a most revolting scene. Rainbow Dashes remains were splattered all across the far the right cage. Pinkie's cage. Twilight threw up. The cage as well as Pinkie were dripping with the remains of blood, hair, and organs. Pinkie stood in mid-air a chunk of intestine was hanging off her muzzle. "Lovely!" Kira said as a smile stretched across her face. Twilight immediately turned her head towards Kira feeling even more disgusted than before. "What?... Uugh! Fine! There you are my dear Pinkie." Kira waved her claws and Dash's remains were incinerate.

Pinkie still stood in mid-air, horrified. Her eyes were wide open. There was the sound a balloon popping and Pinkie's mane deflated.

"Dashie?" Pinkie squeaked collapsing to the ground. "Dashie, no! No! Dashie!" Pinkie went into soft tears, then burst into a waterfall. "DASHIE!"

"Rarity. Do comfort your friend." The border between Pinkie's cage and Rarity's cage vanished.

"Oh, Pinkie Pie, darling." Rarity said giving Pinkie a hug.

"Now then.. Ah, Yes! Sweetie Belle!" Sweetie Belle immediately ran behind Rarity, quivering. "Yes, Apple Bloom and... Oh right Scootiloo was paired with miss Dash. Never mind!" Kira turned to looked at Discord. "Discord!" Kira said enthusiastically. Discord turned his head away from Pinkie. "Yes! Hopefully you will be easier."

"What do mean?" Discord said starting to get worried.

"Join me! Be evil once more!" Discord turned his head "You'll have your friend Fluttershy back." Discord turned his back in disbelief. Every pony except Pinkie and Rarity turned their heads towards Kira. Kira waved her wings and suddenly Fluttershy was behind them. Fluttershy saw her friend and smiled and then noticed the being to her left. She immediately stepped back in fear.

"Fluttershy?" Discord said amazed by the sight of his best and very well only true friend.

"Discord!" Fluttershy saw Discord and ran towards him, but she was stopped short by a chain around her back hoof. Fluttershy looked behind and saw Kira holding on to the other end. "EEK!" She squeaked.

"You choice, Discord! Choose wisely!" Twilight and every other pony looked at Discord. Twilight bit her lip hoping that Discord would make the right decision. That he learned.

"Nice try! That's just an illusion!" Kira's smile vanished as she yanked on the chain and Fluttershy crumbled into die sized cubes that soon vanished.

"Very well!" Kira grunted as Discord's cage suddenly vanished. Before Discord could do anything, Kira clenched her claws around his neck. She lifted him off the ground as her claws emanated a black glow. In moments, Discord was drained of all his magic. Kira dropped Discord and then tapped the top his head. "I have stripped you of all your magic except for the ability to do one magical spell of your choice. But if it involve your friends or any pony and I shall kill all, including you!" And with that Kira turned around. "Twilight. Walk with me!" Kira walked off towards the castle. Twilight looked back at her friends and then walked off after Kira.

Discord lay on the ground for a moment before getting up. He shook off and turned around and began to walk off in the opposite direction. He took ten steps before being stopped by sound of Apple Jacks voice.

"So ya're just leaving us!?" Apple Jack yelled.

"I'll come back! I promise!" Discord held up his loin paw.

"P-Pinkie promise!" Pinkie tared him in the eye.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" Discord turned back around and walked off.
