Discord's Revenge

“Rainbow Dash, give that back!” Applejack yelled. Rainbow Dash waved the orange mare’s Stetson as she held it just above Applejack’s reach. Applejack was fuming as she leapt off the ground to try to snatch it.

“Not until you apologize!” Rainbow Dash said, her voice muffled by the hat in her mouth.

“Ah ain’t gonna apologize fer bein’ honest,” Applejack said.

“You called me a flop and a hopeless show-off!”

“Only after ya said ah was uptight and sore about ditchin’ you fer the farm! That’s what puts food on the table, RD!”

“Yeah, well you keep ignoring your friends and see if you have any left.”

“Girls! What’s going on?” Twilight asked, approaching the conflict. Applejack and Rainbow Dash glanced at her before glaring at each other again.

“Rainbow Dash won’t give me mah hat back,” Applejack said.

“That’s quite childish of you, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said.

“Who’re you calling a child?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Well, you’re certainly acting like one,” Twilight said. Rainbow Dash angrily spat the Stetson into the ground. Applejack gave her a disgusted look and picked it up to brush off the dirt.

“Don’t call me a baby, Twilight Sparkle!” Rainbow Dash warned.

“I didn’t,” Twilight said, “but you’re being awfully cranky right about now. Does someone need to have their diaper changed?”

“That’s a low blow!” Rainbow Dash cried.

“Sweet Celestia, RD, what’s got ya all hot under the bridle?” Applejack asked. Rainbow Dash groaned in frustration.

“You two are ganging up on me, and it’s not fair!”

“Ladies, please,” Rarity said, approaching with Fluttershy. “We are here to see the royal gardens of Canterlot. What is the meaning of all this shouting?”

“Well,” Applejack explained, “somepony got all flared up ’cause ah wasn’t spendin’ enough time with her. Ah tried to explain that the farm needs me, and she called me a stick in the mud, so ah called her on it.”

“You insulted me,” Rainbow Dash said. “Nopony insults Rainbow Dash and gets away with it!”

“Oh, please stop fighting,” Fluttershy said. “This isn’t like you two to fight like this.”

“Oh, I’d be done if Egghead over here hadn’t gotten involved,” Rainbow Dash said, pointing to Twilight.

“I’m well-read, not an egghead!” Twilight objected.

“Oh, dear, Twilight, don’t get yourself caught up in such pettiness,” Rarity said.

“So now you think I’m petty?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Is there anypony else who wants to play ‘Insult Rainbow Dash’ today?”

“Of course not, Rainbow Dash, nopony wants to―”

“Well, would you lay off then?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Oh, I agree with Rainbow Dash here,” Fluttershy said. “I hate when friends put each other down.”

“Fluttershy, you hypocrite!” Applejack flared up, angry that the pegasus was taking Rainbow Dash’s side. “Yer the one who insulted Pinkie Pie and Little Miss Hussy over here about their talents! Didn’t have a problem insultin’ ’em then, did ya?”

“That was different,” Fluttershy said, starting to tear up.

“Applejack, leave her alone,” Twilight said. “She’s not a part of this.”

“Stickin’ up fer the wimp, Twi?” Applejack asked.

“Applejack, really, what’s gotten into you?” Twilight asked.

“This ass of a pegasus, that’s what!” Applejack raged, pointing a hoof at Rainbow Dash.

“Well then don’t take it out on Fluttershy!” Twilight said.

“Twilight, um, thanks, but I think I can stick up for myself…”

“Oh, Fluttershy,” Twilight said, doubling back, “I didn’t mean to―”

“Wow, talk about no respect,” Rainbow Dash remarked about Twilight.

“Fluttershy, don’t listen to her, I absolutely respect you and―”

“I’M NOT A BABY!” Fluttershy suddenly shrieked. Suddenly, an explosion sounded in the distance. The five ponies turned their heads towards the noise, wondering what had happened.

“We should go investigate the source of that noise,” Rarity said.

“Agreed. Let’s go, girls,” Twilight said. They ran towards the source of the noise, and when they arrived to its origin they knew what had caused it. One of the statues in the garden had apparently erupted from within, sending stone everywhere. The stone was so broken up that the original statue was unrecognizable, but deep in the rubble laid a very conspicuous pink body…

“Pinkie Pie!” Twilight exclaimed, unsure how Pinkie Pie had strayed from the group but predominantly worried for her safety. Suddenly, a cackling echoed from the distance, followed by a flash of lightning. The lightning blinded the five ponies only temporarily, and when their eyesight returned it was to reveal a monstrosity of a beast with limbs from various animals. The lion’s paw, eagle’s talon, goat and lizard legs, bat and pegasus wings, serpentine body, and deformed horse head all made the beast immediately recognizable to the ponies, and they quivered in fear as he loomed over them.

“I’m baaaaaaack,” the draconequus said before erupting into thunderous laughter. Before the ponies had time to react, a blast of lightning struck them. The current sent them into shock and rendered them unconscious.

Discord’s Revenge

The six ponies awoke in a strange chamber filled with floating objects. It took them a while to realize that they were all floating as well, seemingly bound by magic and hovering above the floor. Around them were glowing candles that burned all kinds of strange colors, sending an ethereal aura about the stone walls of the room. There were no windows, and aside from the candlelight it was pitch black. Part of the room was obscured from view, as it stretched back beyond the candlelight. From this void swooped in that serpentine beast, who flew around the ponies with delight.

“Welcome to my humble abode,” he said. “You six ponies are the guests of honor tonight!”

“What do you mean, ‘guests of honor’?” Twilight asked, not liking at all where this was going.

“Always the curious one, eh, Twilight?” the draconequus asked. “Patience, young filly. You’ll find out soon enough what I have planned for you.”

“What do you want, Discord?” Rainbow Dash blurted.

“Testy, testy,” Discord said, swooping over to Rainbow Dash and laying his paw on her shoulder. “I see you’re as brash as always, Rainbow Dash. However, I’m in no mood for outbursts, so if you lash out again I’ll have to rip your tongue clean from your mouth and shove it down your throat. Understand?” Rainbow Dash gulped as she quivered in fear.

“If you don’t mind my asking,” Rarity said with utter politeness, for fear of the beast lashing out at her, “when did you become so…so…”

“Grim? Dark? Oh, my dear Rarity, I’ve always been this way. Just ask your precious Princess Celestia. See, when I heard that the Elements of Harmony were no longer under the control of her and her sister, but instead had been bestowed upon six ordinary ponies, I thought that taking over Equestria would be a cakewalk.” As he said this, a slice of cake appeared out of nowhere and hovered near Rarity’s mouth. “Obviously, I was wrong, and Discord is not one to ignore his own shortcomings. But I knew that I would be freed once again, and this time I will hold nothing back. How ironic that you were the ponies to do it.”

“Wait, what?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Girls, what does he mean?” Discord laughed a throaty laugh and swooped towards Pinkie Pie.

“Why, my dear Pinkie Pie, while you were idling by my statue, your friends got themselves into rather petty arguments. The, excuse me for saying it, discord that resulted was enough to set me free from my stone prison.” Something about this explanation seemed off to Twilight, but she was too fearful to call Discord on it or try to figure it out on her own.

“So...w-what do you want from us?” Applejack asked, desperately trying to hold back her fear. Discord smiled wickedly and shot across the room towards her. Applejack flinched, but Discord stopped himself mere inches from her face and stared at her evilly.

“Why, thank you for asking, Applejack,” Discord said, his faux politeness making her shudder. “You see, I am looking for a sweet little something I like to call revenge. It’s a dish best served cold, I hear.” As he said this, a plate of raw, dark red meat materialized in front of Applejack. She feared to guess from what animal it came.

“Applejack, I want you to taste my sweet revenge. It's waiting for you. Go on.”

“W-what are ya talkin' about?”

“Eat the meat,” Discord said gruffly, shoving the plate in front of her mouth. Applejack winced as the plate was shoved aggressively in front of her face.

“W-what is it?” Applejack asked. Discord sneered.

“Now, Applejack, if I told you, it would spoil the surprise. You wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise, would you?”

“Leave her alone!” Rainbow Dash called, though she flinched when Discord shot her an angry glare.

“What was that, Rainbow Dash?”

“Huh? N-nothing...”

“I thought so,” Discord said before turning back to Applejack. “Now, Applejack, either you can eat this meat on your own, or I can brutally shove it down your throat. Your choice.” Applejack gulped as she stared at the mystery meat, wondering what it could possibly be.

“Ah c-can’t do it,” Applejack said. Discord reared the meat back, ready to make good on his threat.

“Ah-ah mean ah can’t do it because it isn't cut up. Ah’ll choke t’ death tryin’ to eat that now.” Discord smiled, losing his angry facade, which was only a small relief to the ponies in the room. Aside from Rainbow Dash, nopony had dared to speak up, and they weren’t about to start.

“Of course. My mistake.” A magical blast from Discord's horn instantly chopped the meat into squares. Applejack gulped, staring at the unpalatable plate before her, but she closed her eyes and bit down on one of the squares. The raw meat tasted horrid, but fearing the consequences Discord had laid out, she chewed and swallowed it just the same.

“Tastes good, doesn’t it?” Discord asked, knowing full well that it did not.

“No,” Applejack said, but she popped another square in her mouth. “Aren’t ya gonna tell me what this is?”

“If I did that, I'm afraid you’d lose your appetite. Best to wait until you’re done.” The other ponies watched Applejack suffer through the disgusting meat. Twilight's head was whirring, trying to figure out from which animal the meat had come. The other four ponies just watched in disbelief Applejack chew and swallow. An agonizingly long time later, Applejack swallowed the last bit of meat. Discord shot the plate at the wall, where it shattered.

“Very good!” he said mockingly. “Do you want to know what you just ate?”

“Ah reckon ah’d better not find out,” Applejack said, “if what you said about losing mah appetite is true.”

“Oh, but that would spoil the fun,” Discord said. “I've always been one for the dramatic reveal.”

“Fine!” Applejack said, growing impatient despite her terror. “Just tell me then and get on with it.”

“What do you think it was?” Discord asked.

“Are we really doin’ this?” Applejack asked.

“I’m afraid so,” Discord said. “Tell me, what do you think you just ate?”

“Um...beef?”

“Not even close,” Discord said, smiling with sadistic glee.

“Goat?”

“No,” Discord said.

“Then ah give up.”

“Just like that? That’s no fun,” Discord said.

“Well, those are the only red meats ah know of. What was it?”

“Fine, if you must know, what you just ate was pony meat.” Applejack felt her stomach squirm as her jaw dropped. Rarity felt faint and very ill. The other ponies reeled in disgust.

“You...you made me eat...?”

“Yes, yes I did. Care to know which pony?” Applejack thought she was going to be sick. She took deep breaths as she tried to inhale fresh air, because she could feel her stomach squirm ever faster.

“Ah don’t...ah can’t...”

“Well, that's too bad, because I'm going to tell you anyway. The meat belonged to your sweet little sister, Applebloom.”

That did it.

Applejack threw up, her vomit splattering upon the floor. Swimming in the foul liquid were the chunky remains of her sister. Rarity nearly passed out from shock, and the other ponies became enraged as Applejack started to tear up.

“You’re lying!” Rainbow Dash spoke up.

“Oh, you think so?” Discord asked. “What reason would I have to lie? What kind of cruel joke would it be to pretend that Applejack just ate her sister?”

“An abominably cruel one, if you ask me,” Twilight said. Applejack sniffled as she desperately clung to the suggestion that Discord had been lying.

“Well, my little ponies, hold tight, because I have proof.” Discord swept off into the shadows. When he came back, he levitated with him three corpses and flung them to the ground in a pile. Their rancid smell made the ponies sick to their stomachs. Applejack instantly recognized the brutalized carcass of his sister, as the fur matted with blood was pale yellow, and atop the head was her bow. The other two fillies, who hadn't been cut open, were instantly recognizable as Scootaloo and―

“SWEETIE BELLE!” Rarity cried, tears washing down her face as she laid eyes upon her sister's dead corpse.

“You asshole!” Applejack bellowed. “You fucking asshole!” Discord started to laugh hysterically.

“Is that the best you could come up with?” he asked. “That little filly idolized you, Applejack, and now she’s dead because you were powerless to save her from my chaos. How does that make you feel?”

“Shut your fucking mouth, you cunt,” Applejack said.

“Ooh, watch your language, Applejack,” Discord warned, “or you may end up like your friend Rainbow Dash.”

“What are you talking―?” Rainbow Dash started, but Discord swooped over to her and grabbed her tongue mid-sentence with his talons.

“Rainbow Dash, didn't I warn you not to make any outbursts?”

“Stop it, Discord!” Twilight cried.

“Shut your mouth, Twilight Sparkle, or you're next!” Twilight did as she was told.

“Now, where was I?” Discord asked. “Oh, yes. And did you not make a second outburst while I was trying to make Applejack eat that meat?” Rainbow Dash shook her head, now panicking about what she feared was about to come.

“It's time you ponies learned that Discord makes no idle threats!” he cried. From the shady portion of the chamber, Discord levitated a hacksaw over to his paw and positioned it atop Rainbow Dash’s tongue. Rainbow Dash started tearing up as she could feel the saw blades poking her tongue. Fluttershy was quivering uncontrollably, and had to look away from what she was seeing. Rarity started to hyperventilate, and Pinkie Pie could feel her heart pounding in her throat. Rainbow Dash, however, was convulsing with fright.

“Hold still, Rainbow Dash! You'll make me lose my aim.” Rainbow Dash could not hold still, so Discord began to saw through her tongue slowly. As the blade pierced the tongue, Rainbow Dash started to scream as blood began to pour from the gash Discord was cutting. Rarity screamed and all the other ponies turned away, but they could not cover their ears to block out Rainbow Dash's bloodcurdling screams. Rainbow Dash felt herself about to pass out from the pain. Discord shook her awake with his magic.

“Don’t bail on me, Rainbow Dash. I want to see you cry, hear your screams! You won’t escape the pain of my punishment!”

“Stop!” Rainbow Dash tried to say, but the position of her tongue and the torrents of blood in her mouth reduced her exclamation to unintelligible gurgling. She started involuntarily swallowing the sickeningly sweet blood running from her tongue and started to spasm. Discord sawed through the tongue slowly, deliberately, not bothering to care how much blood gathered on his arms. Finally, after minutes of excruciating pain, the tongue broke free from Rainbow Dash, and Discord, true to his word, shoved the appendage down her throat. Rainbow Dash started to choke, but Discord used his magic to shove the tongue down her esophagus. Rainbow Dash gasped for air as she felt the slippery, bloody appendage travel into her stomach. She passed out from the trauma, and Discord left her with her head lying back in the air. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight were all crying, while Applejack merely stared at Discord in shock.

“You can't leave her head like that!” Twilight protested. “She’ll choke on her own blood!”

“You’re right, of course, Twilight,” Discord said, “as usual.” He flipped the pony’s head so that it was facing the floor, and the blood from her mouth started dripping onto the floor. Fluttershy could barely control her shaking as she sobbed openly. Rarity and Pinkie Pie were bawling loudly, and Twilight stared in fear as Discord leered over her.

“W-what are you doing?” Twilight asked.

“I warned you another outburst and you were next!” Discord shouted.

“DON’T CUT MY TONGUE OUT!” Twilight begged.

“Don't fret, Twilight, I'm not going to cut out your tongue. That would be too boring, too monotonous.” Twilight felt a sense of dread enter her.

“I'm going to do much worse,” Discord said. He smiled as he flew slowly towards Twilight with a glimmer in his eye that chilled Twilight to the bone. Twilight suddenly noticed in her adrenalin-addled state that the fur around Discord’s legs was starting to rustle. Suddenly, to her horror, a blood-red appendage started sticking its way out from beneath the fur, engorging in size. Then it hit her; Discord's penis was that of a cobra’s.

“That is disgusting!” Rarity objected, losing her fear momentarily.

“What are you gonna do to Twilight?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Nothing much,” Discord said. “I’m just going to rape her.”

“No, no,” Twilight started chanting. “Nononononono,” it became as Discord floated ever closer.

“Relax, Twilight,” Discord whispered into her ear. “It might even be a little fun...” Discord licked Twilight's ear and started to lick her body as he lowered his head. He licked Twilight’s chest, and then her stomach, and then her thighs. Twilight squirmed and began to sweat for the fear of what was going to happen. Discord then lapped his tongue against her clitoris, which made Twilight squirm uncomfortably. The sensation was sickening. Being touched like that by something so vile was more than Twilight could bear. The other four ponies watched in shock as Discord started to lick the juices that involuntarily squirted from Twilight's vagina.

“Mm,” he said, “tangy. I think you’re ready now, Twilight.”

“R-ready for what?” she asked, playing dumb.

“For my cock!” Discord shouted with glee. He then grabbed Twilight's shoulders and shoved her to the floor, pinning her against the cold stone. Then he skillfully thrust his penis into Twilight’s vagina, breaking her hymen and stretching her open painfully. Blood seeped out of her as Discord's rock-hard appendage thrust back and forth within her. Twilight was crying as she groaned in pain, but what she hated most was the energy she felt within her body. As Discord pounded into her, she felt herself tighten and her threshold broke, pumping waves of sexual gratification through her body. Twilight’s mind went blank as she had an orgasm, and Discord’s semen pumped into her. Exhausted, Twilight collapsed on the floor, crying and hating herself for getting involved in this mess.

She didn’t have time to think, though, as Discord slammed her into the floor and spread her legs. He then penetrated Twilight's anus and pumped his member into it as powerfully as he could. Twilight could feel her anus ripping open and blood started to pour out. Discord thrust angrily, not caring that his penis was being coated with Twilight’s fecal matter. Once he had ejaculated, he pulled out, ripped one of Scootaloo’s legs off of her dead body, and thrust that into Twilight’s wrecked anus. He shoved the limb into her as far as it would go, and Twilight vomited from the dizzying pain she was experiencing. Discord grabbed her head and shoved it into the vomit. Twilight's mouth had been open, screaming from the pain, so she could taste her own fluids as her head rubbed against them. The other ponies had long since turned away, but the sound of Discord’s thrusting and Twilight’s pain were unbearable. Applejack threw up again when she heard Twilight wretch. Twilight thought she was going to pass out, but mercilessly she stayed awake as she felt her anus burning in pain from Discord’s treatment.

Finally, the bloody, shit-covered appendage was removed, but the relief would not last. Discord picked up the saw he had used to cut Rainbow Dash’s tongue out and shoved it up Twilight’s now ruined anus. Twilight’s scream echoed off the stone walls as Discord sawed his way through her. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she finally passed out, and then Discord pulled the saw out of her anus and started to saw her unconscious body in half. Rainbow Dash awoke, saw Twilight’s innards slowly start to poke out through the gash in her body, and passed out again.

Discord laughed as he stopped sawing into Twilight’s body. He levitated over a drill and started to drill into her skull, wrenching it open as he worked. Rarity peeked over in horror but quickly turned away and felt extremely nauseous at what she was seeing. Pinkie Pie merely stared in horror, trembling at the ghastly deprecation of Twilight's corpse. Finally, Discord pulled at the brain within the skull and wrenched it out of Twilight’s body, fluid splattering on the floor around him. He tossed the brain like a basketball in his paw, eyeing the other ponies, who had shut their eyes, too fearful to look at what was causing the odious smell of the four corpses in the center of the room. Rainbow Dash had since woken up again, and despite the throbbing pain in her tongue remained conscious.

"So now I have Twilight’s brain,” Discord said, “and by the end of the night, I’ll have the best body parts of all you ponies. Now, who’s next? I think I'll let you ponies decide.”

“That's crazy!” Applejack exclaimed.

“Do I hear a volunteer?” Discord asked. Applejack shook her head fervently. The other ponies remained silent, trembling with disgust and trying not to look at the four corpses on the ground. Discord waited eagerly for somepony to shout out a name.

“Well, don't all jump up at once,” he said snidely. Rarity, trembling and teary-eyed, finally decided to take a stand.

“I-I'll do it,” she said. The other ponies gasped in shock.

“Don't let him get to ya, Rarity!” Applejack cried.

“Yeah, we don't want you to die!” Pinkie Pie said through tear-soaked eyes.

“It doesn't matter, does it?” Rarity asked. “He's just going to get all of us. I don’t want to suffer anymore, and I don’t want to see the rest of you suffer, so if this is how I am to die, then I must do this. What do you want with me, Discord?” Discord leered at Rarity and answered bluntly.

“Your hide.” Discord then shot a powerful magical burst at Rarity and made her start to vibrate. Confused, Rarity wondered what was going on, but she writhed in pain as she felt her skin literally tear itself from her muscles. Slowly and painfully it came off, the magic rending her hide from her body. Rarity screamed as fiery pain shot through her entire body, rocketing across her as she began to feel dizzy. The other ponies stared in shock when suddenly the entire hide ripped itself right off of Rarity to reveal her skeletomuscular frame. Discord dropped Rarity to the floor, the impact of which made her side burn with fresh new pain. Writhing on the floor, Rarity felt her nerves set afire, and her body squelched as Discord kicked it with his hoof. Rarity only lasted a short while longer as Discord beat her unrecognizable frame. She died covered in blood that freely flowed from the veins Discord had punctured with his leg. The four surviving ponies all vomited as they watched Rarity’s dismemberment.

“Not so beautiful now, is she?” Discord asked. He then turned to Rainbow Dash. “Fuck her corpse.”

“Wha?” Rainbow Dash asked, unable to form the word completely with the removal of her tongue.

“I said fuck her corpse,” Discord said. “Do you want me to remove your snout for you, too?” Rainbow Dash shook her head.

“Then get to work,” he said, dropping Rainbow Dash down to the ground. Rainbow Dash hesitated, but Discord picked up the bloody, shit-covered saw and pointed it threateningly at Rainbow Dash. She gulped, still tasting the blood flowing from her mouth, and sidled up next to Rarity. The hot blood and the muscles made her squirm as she touched them. She had never felt or smelled something so unpleasant in her life. She then started to hump her halfheartedly, feeling ready to vomit at the sensation of feeling Rarity’s muscles push against her hide.

“You need to put a little more enthusiasm in it than that, Rainbow Dash.”

“You go-uh ee ucked,” Rainbow Dash said.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” Discord said. “Now fuck her hard!”

Rainbow Dash, crying, humped Rarity more aggressively but hated the disgusting feeling of her muscles against her. Just as she had had enough, Discord swooped in with a large knife and, in one clean swipe, severed Rainbow Dash’s wings. Rainbow Dash hollered in pain as blood spurted from the holes where her wings had just been. Discord kicked Rainbow Dash and she collapsed onto the ground.

“How does it feel to be grounded, Dashie?” Discord asked, sticking his talons into the holes on Rainbow Dash’s back and twisting them. He then took the knife and stabbed her in the throat, killing her instantly. It was Fluttershy’s turn to vomit as the blood spurted from the knife wound. Discord removed the knife and returned the saw to his paw, decapitating Rainbow Dash and fucking the neck hole. He threw Rainbow Dash’s head into the vomit and brain fluid mixture that had seeped together all over the floor. As he fucked Rainbow Dash’s headless corpse, he let down Applejack from the barrier.

“Drink up that mixture!” he barked, pointing to the filthy soup in which Rainbow Dash’s head was now soaking. Applejack slowly approached the mixture, but Discord tripped her with his magic and she fell headfirst into it. Discord laughed as Applejack started drinking the disgusting fluid on the floor. The taste of it was rancid and made her instantly sick, so she vomited again into the mixture.

“Good,” Discord said, now finished with Rainbow Dash’s neck, “all the more putrid filth for you to lap up.”

“You're a monster!” Pinkie Pie shouted.

“I’m the monster?” Discord asked. “I’m the monster? What about your dear princess, Pinkie Pie? The one who encased me in stone twice and banished her poor sister to the moon for a thousand years? And yet you love her, worship her like a god! She’s no god! She’s an alicorn, no better than any of you pitiful ponies! I am the one that should be revered for my genius!”

“Genius?” Pinkie Pie asked. “All you do is mess around and cause weird stuff to happen!”

“Oh, and you don’t?” Discord asked. “Tell me, Pinkie Pie, why are you always so upbeat? I mean, not now of course, because I'm brutally torturing your friends to death, but under normal circumstances, what makes you so damned happy?”

“What are you talking about?” Pinkie Pie asked timidly.

“I mean, nopony can be happy all the time. At some point, those perpetually happy ponies crack,” Discord said, snapping his talons, “just like that. So why haven’t you?”

“Because I’m the Element of Laughter, that's why!”

“Really? Do you find any of this funny?”

“Of course I don’t! Do you?” Discord laughed at Pinkie Pie's question.

“Why, yes, I find this all very amusing. Your friends are dying, one by one, and yet you hang on, barely clinging to your sanity. Pinkie Pie, I've taken Twilight’s brain, Rarity’s hide, Rainbow Dash’s wings,” Discord said, floating towards Applejack.

“I’m taking Applejack’s hind legs.” Discord used magic to rip the legs from Applejack, causing her to land painfully on the ground and scream in pain.

“I’m taking Fluttershy's mane,” he said, flying over to Fluttershy and skinning her mane with a knife, ripping off the hide beneath it and exposing her skull. He then used his magic to crush the skull under enormous pressure, turning Fluttershy's brain into a heaping pile of entrails.

“And now from you, Pinkie Pie, I take your sanity.” Pinkie Pie's hair drooped down as she looked at all her dismembered friends. Twilight’s corpse, barely recognizable. Rarity, utterly stripped of her hide and left to die. Rainbow Dash, throat slit and still bleeding though she was already dead. Fluttershy, collapsed onto the floor with her head leaking fluid. Applejack, screaming as she grabbed her hind legs and desperately tried to reattach them. Pinkamena’s eyes shifted outward from each other as a small smile crept up her face.

“What’s so funny, Pinkie Pie?” Discord asked with a smile.

“It’s all just so...ridiculous,” Pinkamena said. “So loopy, so absolutely over-the-top astounding.” As she said that, she ticked nervously.

“Good. Now that your mind is a slave to my whim, I want you to kill Applejack for me, however you choose.”

“Yes, master...” Pinkamena said.

“Pinkie Pie, whadda you doin’?” Applejack asked in fear, forgetting the burning pain in her thighs, from which her legs had been severed.

“I’m saving you from the pain...” Pinkie Pie said. She lunged at Applejack, who couldn’t get away, and twisted her neck until it cracked. Applejack’s deformed head now lay on its side as the life escaped from her eyes.

“Very good, Pinkie Pie,” Discord said. “Now take the knife and make all the pain go away.”

“Yes, master,” Pinkie Pie said, and she obediently took the knife and stabbed herself in the heart with it.

The six ponies all dead, Discord looked at his work triumphantly. He then turned to the shadowy part of the room and asked into the distance.

“So, how did I do?” Discord asked. From the shadows stepped Queen Chrysalis, who had been silently watching the drama play out before her.

“You fared well against the Elements of Harmony, Discord. You are stronger than I thought.”

“And with them dead, we shall overtake the princesses and rule Equestria!” Discord cried with glee.

“Indeed we shall,” the queen said, and she walked towards Discord and gave him a long, passionate kiss on the lips. The fate of Equestria now rested in them, the ones who would send it into an era of chaos and despair, and it had all started with Discord’s revenge.
