Chapter 1: Waiting for Hope
“We have to hurry love. She will catch up with us!” The taller creature said to the shorter creature next to him.
“Just one more bomb love. We will finally have the element of Wrath right where we want her.” The shorter one said. The creature came into the small amount of light to get a better view. With the light you can see that the smaller creature is a Pegasus mare.
The taller creature went down to level of the mare to show he was a Draconequus who was putting his lion paw over her belly. “Fluttershy, dear you must be careful. I do not want you to hurt the baby.” The draconequus said. Fluttershy turned her head to look at him. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on his muzzle.
“Do not worry Discord. I will be careful.” Fluttershy said giving him a quick kiss on his lips. Then a shadow came into the two’s view. “Here comes Wrath. I wish we can just kill her and bring her body back to Canterlot.” Fluttershy said waiting for her to get ready to push the button. She just needed her closer. But the two needed to make sure that she did not get too close to where the bomb was place.
“I know dear, but Celestia promise Sombra that we would not hurt her. I want to get her back for what she did to your leg. I wish you did not cut your leg off to save us.” Discord said rubbing his head into Fluttershy”s. She loved the way he rubbed her head. Without realizing what she did, she pushed the button on the bomb. The explosion caused Wrath to jump back.
“You will never take me back to my father. I will find you and kill you once and for all.” Wrath said as she began to move forward to Fluttershy and Discord’s hiding spot. Discord picked up his wife and moved away from the small opening. He knew that Wrath wanted both of them dead.
Discord wanted to flee from this place but he knew that his elder sister, Princess Celestia would not be pleased with him. But his wife and their unborn child was more important then anything to him. Even trying to bring back Princess Cinnamon Sweet of the Crystal Empire back to her father, King Sombra. Wrath was about to move to the opening when a voice called out to her. The crystal pony turned her head and moved away form the opening. This gave Discord enough time to teleport out of the area back to his and Fluttershy’s home in Canterlot.
“Wrath! Are you ok? Wrath!” The voice of Pride said. Wrath saw the changeling princess come forward to her. “What the hell happened? How the hell did you screw this up Cinnamon. I gave you one order. Just one to kill that freak of Prince and his wife. You cannot even do that right.” Pride said getting angry at her team mate. Wrath gave her a hardened glare.
“Don’t you dare call me by my real name again Pride. We made a vow to all of us, Princess Firefly Skies not to do that. Or, do you miss your mommy that much? Does the changeling princess need mommy to feed her love.” Wrath yelled at her. Pride was fuming at her. She was going to jump on her when the element of envy came in laughing at them.
“Well as much as I would like to see you two go at each other, we have failed in this mission. I believe that Prince Discord and Princess Fluttershy have fled back to Canterlot. Now let’s got home. But not all was in vain, guys.” Envy said.
Pride and Wrath both looked at her. “What are you saying Shimmer Rose?” They both said. The Pegasus gave them a dirty look.
“Well they failed to take you, Wrath to your daddy. Poor Celestia will not know what to say to your father, King Sombra. I would love to see the look on his face.” Envy said with an evil smile.
Wrath returned the smile. “Oh yes father does have a nasty temper when things don’t go his way. Poor Princess Celestia would not know what to do. Well I guess we go and plan our next attack. What do you say Pride.” Wrath said to their leader.
Pride looked at her with a evil smile. “Yes and this time we will not fail.” Pride said.
Meanwhile Discord and Fluttershy had gotten to the palace and came into the throne room. Celestia smiled as she saw her younger brother and her sister-in-law enter. Discord gave her a small smile and Fluttershy would not look at Celestia. Just then King Sombra ha come in to see if his last surviving daughter was captured. “What has happened Celestia? Were is my beloved, Cinnamon Sweet?” King Sombra asked. He looked at both Celestia and Discord.
Celestia looked at Discord for a moment and then turned to Sombra. “I am sorry to say my dear friend, but Princess Cinnamon has escaped. But not to worry we will find her and bring her back to you as soon as I can.” Celestia said.
“This will not do Celestia. My daughter is my only heir left to the Crystal Empire after I lost her elder sister, Princess Cadence. She is the only thing I have left of my beloved wife, Radiant Hope. I cannot lose my youngest daughter too. If anything happens to her then you will lose me as an ally. I want no more excuses and promises from you or your siblings.” King Sombra said as he said through his teeth. Fluttershy took a step forward.
“With all due respect, King Sombra, but your daughter, Wrath is a clever one. We cannot advance on her without Wrath trying to hurt us. As you can see my king, she had wounded my right foreleg so bad that I had to cut it off in order to save my life. She is too dangerous to try to win in a fight with her. I am sorry but I will not stick my life out to bring her to you. I will use bombs to make her unconscious for me and my husband to bring her back.” Fluttershy said with harden eyes.
Discord loved the fact that his wife was a strong mare. All those years being alone in the Everfree Forest had turned her heart so hard. He was the only one that ever broke her stone wall around her heart. He put his lion paw out around her and brought her closer to him. He knew Sombra was with mares talking back to him. The only one that talk to him the way that Fluttershy did was Radiant Hope. Sombra allowed Radiant Hope to talk to him like that when it had to deal with their daughter’s. But she knew her place when it came to the empire. She learned to keep her muzzle out of political affairs of the empire. She learned that the hard way once. Once passing a bill that she found would help the poor in the empire. When Sombra had found out that the bill was passed when he was away from the empire making an alliance with Princess Celestia. He had beaten Radiant Hope to the fact that she was terrified of her husband. He walked away from her and went to his advisors to stop the bill. Sombra stop the bill and told his advisors never to pass any bills unless it was from him. He went to her and said that he was sorry that he hit her, but told her never to do that again. That was the last time she passed any bills for the empire.
“Silence you little peasant! You know nothing of my daughter. She is a good innocent mare in all of this. It was that Midsummer Night that started all of this. Celestia you dare let this peasant talk to me like this? You should teach her were her place is!” King Sombra said with anger in his eyes. Celestia gave Fluttershy a look to stop. Then turned to Sombra with a little annoy in her eyes.
“Sombra old friend I promise you we will fine your daughter. You just need to give me more time.” Celestia said pleading with the king. She did not want to lose him as an ally. She had already lost Queen Chrysalis of the Changeling as an ally. All because her daughter, Princess Firefly and her gang had killed all but one of the elements of harmony. Not a day goes by that Celestia’s heart does not break for Twilight Sparkle, her love.
Celestia wanted to make her student a princess, but she had failed in the mission to stop The Miscreants. But that proved to be too much. Not only did Celestia lose an ally that day, but she lost a unicorn that was the love of her life. Now she had a new student, Twilight’s younger cousin, Moonlight Seashell. She was not like Twilight in anyway. She was not a smart unicorn, and she had no fire to become her student. She had taught that Moonlight would fill in the empty space in her heart that Twilight left. But Celestia was not pleased.
Sombra cleared his throat to get Celestia’s attention. “I will give you two weeks more Celestia. But not another day. And for you Discord, keep your wife’s mouth shut. A peasant like her should know her place.” Sombra said. Discord gave Sombra a hard glare.
“I will not tell my wife to shut her mouth Sombra. I love that about Fluttershy stands up for what she believes in, and is not afraid to speak her mind. So no I will not tell her to shut her mouth. Oh and remember this Sombra. She is a princess. You will show her respect as you will do to any princess you meet.” Discord said letting go of Fluttershy pulling his paw and talon into a fist. Fluttershy rubbed her head on his talon. She loved him so much for being with her. Discord looked down at her with his harden eyes going soft.
Sombra just rolled his eyes and looked to Celestia. “ I am shocked that you would let your brother marry this mare. I and Chrysalis have mare’s hoof ready for marriage to marry your brother. But he turned them all down for her.” Sombra yelled at Celestia.
Celestia finally had a enough and stood up from her throne. “Your and Chrysalis’ princess’ called my brother a freak and a monster. I will not have my little brother marry any pony that treats him as a monster. Fluttershy was the only one that looked at my brother, not as a monster but as a friend to her. So when they found out that they were in love, I was more then happy. So Sombra this mare is more to my family then just a peasant. She is apart of my family.” Celestia said looking at Sombra. Fluttershy began to blush to what Celestia said about her. Discord looked at Fluttershy with a smile on his face. There was hard to get her to blush.
Sombra gave both Discord and Celestia a harden glare. “Whatever Celestia, but remember I am only giving you two weeks to bring my daughter back to me. I will take my leave back to the empire.” Sombra said giving them a bow. He looked to Fluttershy. Fluttershy gave him a glare as he left the throne room.
When the doors closed, Celestia signed as she sat back down on her throne. “We must come up with a new plan, brother. Trying to capture Wrath will not be easy. I just do not know what to do. I wish Luna was here to give some help in this problem.” Celestia said to Discord. Princess Luna had gone missing for a week and no pony in the royal court knew where she went to.
“Sister do not worry about Luna will show up. You know her she wants to find a way to stop The Miscreants once and for all. But I must talk to you.” Discord said. Celestia and Fluttershy both looked at him. But before he could say what he wanted to say the doors flew open.
They all turned to the door and smiled at the pony who came in. Celestia smiled with tears in her eyes. “Oh Luna you have come back.” Celestia yelled jumping off her throne running to her sister. As she got to her sister she stopped dead in her tracks at the pony that was behind her.
“Sister I have found the only thing that can stop The Miscreants. The element of Magic and the Princess of Friendship, Princess Twilight Sparkle.” Luna said to Celestia.
