Chapters Twivigilant: The Villain Awakens
Tirek's Prison and Twilight's Castle
Tirek walked around his cell with a hand to his head as the last moments played over and over again in his head. His defeat having a great impact on him down in Tartarus. Every prisoner new of his humiliation of being defeated by six little ponies, what made it worse was they were mares. Out of all the ponies in Equestria none of them made him boil more than Princess Twilight. He would do anything to see her fall. Her words hanged in his head, oh how he hated it. "Your wrong Tirek, I may have given you my alicorn magic but I carry within me the most powerful magic of all" Tirek gags after repeating her words. Sliding his hand of his face he grabs the bars of his cage and lets out a long sigh. "I swear I'll make you eat those words, Princess" he chuckles , "I just need to get out of here first"
"Its not going to work, never does..." Tenebris Suilla walks out from the other side of the cell, Tenebris was Tirek's cellmate. Tirek letting go of the bars stomps over to the other side of the cell.
"This time is different, Suilla. This time I have a plan that is flawless" he smiles full of thoughts of revenge has made him think all his plans are flawless. Tenebris with no intent on revenge lets out a long sigh.
"Right, that's what you said about your last escape plan...Cerberus isn't leaving anytime soon and nopony gets out of here with him on duty." as Suilla made his point Tirek lowers his head and sighs. He knew as well as the pony did that nopony ever gets out of here, every plan has failed and will continue to fail. "Not a single pony has ever made it out without luck Tirek, just forget it"
"I can't !! Not with this shame I carry, Princess Twilight shamed me. I look like a fool while she sits in her home as a hero" clenching his fists Tirek stomps on of his four hooves. "So now I will do anything in my will to see her fall!!" he chuckles and smiles a bit, "This prison cell is not my final resting place, I plan to die happy in the throne of the princesses" he nods as he begins to think again. He looks out of his cell again, thousands if not millions of lost souls rest in their cells. Some are yelling and screaming, most have given up hope. "Prepare Princess Twilight, I'm coming for you.."

Twilights eyes close slowly as her lips lock with Rainbow Dashes, ears pinning back. The two had made sure they were alone, not wanting to be cought in this momment. The alicorns wings slowly open just to close around the pegasus, Rainbow blushing brightly moving closer to her 'friend'. As things were about to get going Twilights bedroom door flies open, Twilights wings close and she falls off her bed "Gahhh~!!" Twilight yelps and hits the floor with a loud thud.
"Twilight, good news" Spike smiles with a raised brow as he sees Twilight on the floor, "Are you okay...?" he chuckles and walks slowly up to Twilight and smiles. "Got some news from Princess Celestia" Twilight slowly stands up and looks down to her dragon.
"Wonderful, but what about?" Twilight smiles softly, her face still very red from what was going to happen.
"Good question, i never thought to check" he rubs the back of his head embarassed because he usually always knows. Twilight giggles putting a hoof to her muzzle and she takes the letter with her magic, levitating it to a table.
"I'll read that eventually, I'm sure it can wait..right?" She then looks down at Spike again, "Thank you Spike for bringing this too me...but could you do me a huge favor?" She lowers herself to Spikes level, "Could you please....get out of my room now" she taps her hoof very embarrassed that Spike came running into her room. She was just glad he didn't see anything, perhaps her and Rainbow should have double checked that the castle was completely empty. Rainbow who kept quiet gets out of the bed and walks over to Twilight.
"Oh my, you fell egghead, perhaps I should call you humpty dumpty" she giggles and helps the alicorn to her feet, "Get it, humpty dumpty" she smiles more as Twilight rolls her eyes.
"Don't explain the joke, it ruins it" Twilight smiles and boops Rainbows nose, "Yes, I get the joke too, ha ha" she rolls her eyes again. Twilight walks over to her bed crawling back onto it and lets out a sigh , "Could you imagine if Spike saw what we were doing~!?" she shakes her head
"Yeah, he probably would have passed out or something" Rainbow flies over to the bed and drops onto the bread spread. She moves over to Twilight lips still trembling after being interrupted but Twilight doesn't look in the mood to continuing. Twilight looks to Rainbow and shakes her head.
"Not now, we aren't alone...I can't. I can't risk everypony figuring out about us"
"Wait! Why not, we have been together for at least four months..." Rainbows ears pin back and she frowns. Rainbow and Twilight had been going on dates secretly for some time now. They had fallen in love with each other, So they hooked up but kept it a secret.
"I'm a princess now Rainbow, everything I do becomes a huge deal. Imagine if somepony found out about us, then everypony, everywhere would know about it" She sits up in her bed shaking her head, "I can't have that kind of attention from all those ponies" They both lower their heads and sigh. "I love you Rainbow.."
"I love you too, Twilight" they both blush and get into a nice warm hug
Twivigilant: The Villain Awakens
"I can feel it coming Suilla, I can feel freedom already" Tirek chuckles evily and rubs his hands together. Suilla walks up slowly shaking his head ..
"Tirek this will not work, what makes this plan different from the last?" Tirek snarls and turns to his cellmate with a fake smile on his face.
"Why, ill be taking you with me of course...we will escape, TOGETHER~" Tirek nod rubbing his hands together again and he walks to the other side of the cell, Suilla watches him as he does so with wide eyes.
"You expect me to help you escape? Now why would I do that?"
"Freedom Suilla, freedom" Tirek had really been thinking about this new plan, he chuckles looking to the cell next to them. A King lays on a bed, the dark unicorn Sombra. Sombra after being blown apart by the Crystal Heart was sent straight to Tartarus for his crimes. "You too Sombra, Freedom..." Laughing now Tirek nods to the Unicorn. Sombra looks to Tirek tilting his head.
"Freeedom...." The dark king liked the sounds of that, he could make new slaves and practice dark magic if he were free. "I get freedom if I help you, is that what you are saying?"
"Yes, I could grant you all the freedom you desire~!!! Every single one of you prisoners, FREE!!" Every single cell in Tartarus begins to fill with eager prisoners as Tirek chants out the words of being free. Suilla smiles and begins to want this opportunity himself, he and everything here could be free at last. "FREEEDOOOM~!!!" Tirek yells and Cerberus wakes up with a loud growl as all the prisoners are yelling and trying to break out of their cages. The rage fills Tirek as he points at the guard, "He is keeping you here, HE is in your way, HE MUST FALL~!!!!"
Twilights eyes open and she screams, was that a dream? "Rainbow~!! Girls!!" she pants and she slowly gets out of her bed and wipes her eyes if tears. Rainbow and the rest of the girls burst into the room from Twilight call for them after a few minutes. Twilights shaking legs want to buckle . Her tear filled eyes want to burst to crying, Her wings wanted to droop as her whole body ached and shaked. "Girls..I-I had the worst dream.." She smiles seeing her friends. Applejack looks to Twilight and frown.
"Are you alright, Sugarcube. That was one heck of a scream" Applejack puts a hoof on Twilight shoulder as the alicorn shakes with fear from whatever just happened in her head. "That scream really startled us"
"I'm fine now...I'm not sure what happened" Twilight looks around the room at all her friends and rubs her head. Rainbow walks up to Twilight and puts a wing over her and smiles.
"Its alright Twilight, it was just a dream, its gone now" Rainbow smiles Applejack nods in agreement. Rarity walks up slowly and pokes Twilights nose.
"Rainbow is right, Darling...it was just a dream and we are here for you to recover from it" Rarity giggles, "Dreams can be very scary and it certainty it helps to have friends around when it happens" Twilight nods at all her friends and smiles as they all now form a big group hug. They all snuggle close to one another. Their friendship truly one that shines brightly, they were almost family. Twilight however couldn't get the dream out of her head. Why would Tirek be in her thoughts to the point to cause her to dream about him?
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................
Twilight walks slowly down the streets of Ponyville. The dream of last night still linger in her mind, twirling and teasing at her thoughts as to know why. She continues to try to shake it out as she makes it to market, she needed to be able to think if she were to be able to buy things from todays market. Today was a big day for market, a surplus of materials and food bustled into Ponyville that day causing a risk to ponies with extra bits. For there were so many rare foods and other items out today that are rare to come by in a town like Ponyville.
"Okay, try to focus.." Twilight breaths and walks into the crowd of ponies. Many of them move out of her way with smiles, she was an alicorn so this was expected. She would rather she didn't get the benefit of this attention, she never wanted to be more important than anypony else. She slowly walked up to many stands and bought many things. Apples, bread, carrots, new pillows for the castle beds, soup, a new lamp because Spike broke the old one, and more food and accessories. The whole time she was shopping she was thinking for a logical reason as to why she had that dream. "Maybe it was the draining of my magic, did it traumatize me? I feel fine, what is it then?"
"Excuse me miss, you forgot something" a stallion says behind one of the market counters Twilight stops turning around to look to where the voice came from but nopony was standing there. Ears pin back to her head and her eyes widen turning white as the Alicorn falls over, many ponies jump back as Twilight falls to the ground.
"Gaahhhh~!!" Twilight stands up and nopony is around anymore, looking around shakily she calls out, "Hello~? Where did everypony go?" as she called out the sound of large hooves come from behind her as if somepony was behind her. Twilight slowly gulped and turned around.
"You're going to give me what I want~!!" Tirek yells at her and grabs her by the neck raising her off the ground. Twilight screams and kicks her hind legs as the beast grabs a hold of her, growling and biting at the air. "It's time to pay the price Princess~" Tirek grins moving her closer as his horns glow with a bright red glow.
"What~!! No, Let go of me!! HELP!!" she wiggles as her horn begins to glow but she stops when the area around her becomes dark, glowing eyes appear behind Tirek, one pair glows green, the other purple, the last yellow. She stares at the scene confused as she is then thrown to the ground and sent rolling down a hill. Rolling she comes to a stop at the bottom of the hill something. She slowly looks to the feet to see one alligator one hoof , she looks up to see Discord in tears. Discord falls to his knees and Twi puts her hooves on her friend to try and ask what is wrong, only to sink through him as he bursts into dust. The dust swirls around her and she then falls into a hole that appears below her. Screaming she closes her eye and then....nothing. Twilight shakes and whimpers, scared. Discord stands next to her, "I was tricked I thought she was in danger..." he frowns and turns away. "I'm sorry Twilight" Twilight shakes her head and gets up
"Discord, what is going on? Discord?" Discord looks to her and disappears with a tear rolling down his cheek, saying one last word to her.
"Wake up Twilight, wake up and run"

Twivigilant: The Villain Awakens
Twilight slowly opens her eyes, her nose feels plugged, eyes heavy, and she is very weak. As her eyes opened she is met by the bright yellow eyes of a certain friend. "Discord!!" Twilight gasps at the draconequus as she backs up slightly in what appears to be a bed. her eyes glow slightly white as she looks into Discords eyes, they reminded her of the ones in her dream she just had. Discord floats up at her reaction and he backs up as a doctor trots up to the bedside. That's when she looked down to see she was in a hospital dress.
"Princess, please be quiet, its alright. You are okay, thanks to your friend here" he points a hoof to Discord and the larger creature waves from a corner. Twilight breaths deep and lets out a long sigh. "Discord ,you brought me here?"
"You passed out in public, luckily I was there" he chuckles and floats out of the corner, "You look better now, I must say" he snaps up a mirror and shows herself to her, she has a hospital dress and plastic tubes for her breathing. "Doc here says you'll be just fine" he rubs his hands together, "Congratulations~!!" he laughs and allot of confetti flies out from nowhere.
"Mr.Discord, Please, NOT in this room please!!" the doctor turns around and all the confetti rewinds and disappears as discord frowns.
"Oh pooo, fine. Ruin the day why don't you" he crosses his arms as Twilight looks back and forth from Discord to the doctor. She growls slightly at the commotion between the two as they begin to argue a bit she closes her eyes and talks quietly at first.
"What is wrong with me?" she speaks to the doctor but he does not hear her for he is still arguing with the draconequus. she growls a bit more and opens her eyes and breaths in deep letting it out in a yell, "CAN YOU STOP AND TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH ME~!!??" the doctor freezes and so does discord. Discord backs up once again and pushes the doctor forward towards twilight.
"You heard her Doc, what's wrong with her?"
"Well, you are simply having sleep issues is how I see it..." he says this because nopony saw her eyes turn white, which is a sign of a vision not a dream. "Simply your not getting enough sleep or your not eating or drinking properly, this is all we can come up with because you are such a healthy pony, Princess" he smiles, Twilight smiles back and rubs her head.
"Sleep, I though I was sleeping just fine and eating and drinking too..." she flares her wings looking at herself now in the mirror Discord left on the bed. she frowns at the sight of her hospital look. "What do I need to do, Doctor?" The stallion chuckles and smiles softly
"I believe all you need is a good bed rest for awhile and plenty of liquid" he shuffles some paperwork on the counter, "After that, you should be just fine, yes indeed" Discord smiles as he was fiddling with medical tools of all sorts at that moment, the doc smacks his hand and shakes his head. The draconequus sticks his tongue out and laughs slightly. "Anything else you would like to put your claws on Discord or will that be enough fooling around for one day?" Discord drops the medical tools and crosses his arms.
"Oh I'm not fooling around, pony. If I was you would know it" he winks at Twilight , this causing her to smile a little. "Yes, I am done however, its so boring in here..." he yawns and sits down in a chair, it floats up and he leans back in it with a smile. Twilight smiles again at the draconequus. she then looks to the doctor.
"Thank you , that is all I will be needing before I go" The doctor then nods to twilight and he exits the room, Discord waves goodbye to the doctor and chuckles lightly.
"What a stallion that one is, so serious" he claps and appears at the bedside with a cup of candy in his hand, "Its a shame he had to go so soon, was just starting to like him" he drink some of the hard candy out of the cup as if it were water. Twilight rolls her eyes at Discord and sits up in her bed.
"Who all knows that I'm in here?"
"Just me and that wonderful doctor, why do you ask Twilight" he takes another sip of his candy and walks to the other side of the room sliding a talon on the wall as he does.
"I don't want my friends to know about this..." she sighs, Discord gasps and put a talon on his lips and smiles behind his talon
"Keeping secrets, Princess" he points at her now and smiles more, "Bad Princess, bad..." he chuckles and nods, "Of course I wont tell on you, that would be unfair" he grins
"Discord, I'm serious...don't tell them"
"I won't, I promise. Just remember little princess...bed rest, go home and get it" he taps a hoof and rubs two talons together as he looks at her. She nods slowly an lowers her head.
"I know, I just don't.." Discord now next to her puts a talon on her lips to silence her.
"no buts, just do it...Princess" his talon slowly moves away from her lips and she nods slowly.
"Bed rest...right, got it..." she smiles and slowly gets out of bed. When she touches the floor her eyes turn white and she falls over once again , Discord quickly catches her bringing her into a cradle, eyes wide.
"Doctor...could you come back please..."
Twivigilant: The Villain Awakens
Fluttershy was tending to her animals just outside her cottage. It was cold and wet but the mare still wanted to work. All these animals mattered to her and they needed food today more than ever, the pegasi had a mix up in cloudsdale and a huge snowfall had hit Equestria. She was slowly moving through the deep snow trying to get to every animal she could, "Oh..w-why does it have to be so deep~" she wanted to yell so bad, this snow was making things hard for her. As she was finally getting to the last of her critter friends she noticed something move in the corner of her eye. She wasn't sure what it was but could it be a Timber wolf, recently they had been getting closer to ponies...biting her lip she grabs her seed filled saddle bag and turns around swinging thinking it was a Timber wolf. She hits the creature hard on the head, slowly she opens her eyes to see her saddle impaled by the horned head of a friendly draconequus. "Oh no~! DISCORD~" she kneels down to his head that now lay on the snow and frowns having hit her friend on the head. Discord looks up to her and slowly pulls the saddle bag off his head.
"Hello Fluttershy, been taking lessons from Bulk Biceps or what" he rolls his eyes rubbing his head. Fluttershy stands slowly and puts a hoof on Discords lion paw.
"I didn't know it was you...h-honest" her mane hiding most of her face, after taking action with harm she felt made her feel bad, "I'm sorry.."
"Please Dear, its takes more than a bag of seed and cold weather to make me mad" he wipes the remaining seeds off his snout and uses the end of his tail to move Fluttershy's man from her eyes. Taping a hoof in the snow he looks down to the mare and narrows his eyes, "All is well, no PONY got hurt" he grins. Fluttershy tries to look away feeling awful for what she did, Discord chuckles and looks around as if frantic. "OH NO~ Where did Fluttershy go!?" Fluttershy blushes and shakes her head.
"D-discord.." Discord teleports into a tree and hangs from his tail still looking around rubbing his beard.
"Oh my, where could she have gone, I just don't know" he grins and teleports again backing up towards her, "Hmmm, I swear she was right here a moment ago~" Fluttershy giggles and raises her head and Discord backs up into her, turning around he smiles at her, "FOUND HER~" he laughs and coils around her fast and they both fall over into a large snow pile. Both of them raise their heads out of the snow laughing slightly.
"OH Discord~! You know how to make me laugh~" She smiles at him and he smiles right back at her. They both just look at each other for a moment, as they both look into each others eyes Fluttershy's face progressively get redder and redder before she looks down and quickly asks. "Any news on Twilight~?" she coughs and Discord raises a brow.
"You know , the usual, she is getting better...." they both remain in the snow and Fluttershy shivers a bit and raises her gaze back up to meet his.
"Wanna go I-inside, I-its cold out h-here" she shivers and smiles, Discord nods and snaps two fingers and they both appear inside the cottage. Fluttershy smiles a bit more now that she is in a warm cottage, "Thank you Discord, that was fun.."
"Was it, all I did was fall into some snow with you? If that's fun it will be easy to entertain you" he jokes knowing her well enough to figure out she was just being nice as usual. She blushes and quickly walks to the other room, her rabbit following her as usual. Discord waves as she goes and slowly leans on a wall. "Oh...look at her..." he says to himself, "So......Beautiful..." his eyes slowly fill with hearts but he raises his eagle claws up and slaps the hearts out, "Nooo Discord, No" he looks to the door she went into and sighs, "She is your friend....just your friend"
..........................................................................................................................................................
Later that night Discord lay on the couch in Fluttershy's cottage, every animal asleep, Fluttershy too. Discord however was the only one who wasn't asleep. He never could sleep when visiting this cottage, never really knew why. He just looked up at the ceiling and pretending to be drawing pictures with his talon, he was as bored as ever and he couldn't make anything float or explode, not here. So he jsut continued to pretend draw things on the ceiling. As he did this a very awake Fluttershy walks in. "Discord~! I need to talk to you" Discord looks over to her and raises a brow.
"Fluttershy why are you awake you should be resting" She quickly walks up to him and puts a hoof on his snout to silence him.
"No, just listen...please" her ears pin back and she blushes at him. "Discord, I-I...." She smiles, "You are one of my best friends~!" she jumps on him and cuddles up to him, "Oh I just needed to tell you, I though maybe you though we were using you for your magic but I'm not! You my Friend and I want you to know this" Discord laughs a bit and cuddles her close.
"oh Fluttershy, you don't need to tell me this, I know your my friend, I would never think of you too use me for anything, especially just for my magic" he blushes and they both laugh a bit, Fluttershy on him and they both fall off the couch and hit the floor, they both laugh a bit harder now as Discord lay on his back and she still on him. They both settle down and just cuddle having had their laugh and they both close their eyes and smile.
Discord slowly looks to her and she looks to him, they both stare and next thing they both know their lips are touching and they are in a kiss. Discords ears pin back and so do hers. the kiss stayed locked for what seemed like forever, neither of them wanted to separate it. They both wanted it. Slowly they both move their heads back and the look into each others eyes and Fluttershy breathes in deep "I love you~" she squeaks slightly as she speaks, her breath taken right out of her from that short moment. Discord was unsure what to say, how to respond. He only knew Fluttershy as friend for a long long time and even though he really did like her more than a friend he never thought she would ever feel the same.
"I-I...I" he pauses and closes his eyes, "I love you too~" he admits this much to her, how could he not after she had kissed him, or did he kiss her? Neither of them knew who made that move but what they did know is they both wanted it.
