Nutmeg reached the edge of the forest before long. He took a look up at the trees and a thought blew threw his head.

"I...I've never been in here alone."

Twilight had always been here to guide them but now he hoped he remembered enough of the way to get back to the castle. As he went forward, the inky blacks and the dark green of the trees seemed to swallow him whole. He reached a fork in what little of a path there was. He dug back in his mind to think which way Twilight would always go. He remembered the one time he had gone with her to Zecora's. He clearly remembered going to the left when they had gone there because he remembered how creepy Zecora was. With this knowledge, he went right.

He continued until he came to a raging river. He had learned a spell last night that could call old friends to your side. So who else would Nutmeg call but Steven Magnet. His horn glowed with a powerful light and in a flash the giant purple dragon was by his side. By the looks of it, he had been enjoying a nice relaxing spa visit.

"Now what did you do that for?" he said seeming very annoyed. "I was just about to start my massage."

"Sorry Steven but can you help me across?"

"Why should I help you after you yank me from my spa and dump me in such an awful place like this?"

"Well, A: I can just send you right back after I'm across and B: I need to help Twilight--

"Twilight needs help?! Say no more!"

He scooped Nutmeg up and plopped him on the other side of the river. Staring deeper into the forest, Nutmeg saw the ruins of the two sisters castle in the distance.

"Thanks Steven, don't know what I would have done without you."

"Happy to help, now you bring Twilight back safe and sound, OK?

"I want her back more than anypony else, believe me when I say I will get her back.

"Go get 'em!"

With that, Nutmeg took off, tearing through the rest of the brush getting more than a few thorns in his coat on the way but it didn't matter. Nothing did. He didn't care that he was stuck with thorns, he didn't care his hooves were aching, he didn't even care that his the bridge going across the gorge looked kinda rickety. All he cared about right now, was bashing Discord's deer antler in, ripping off his bat wing, and taking by that snake tail and...and...

He didn't know what he would do but it would be something not E rated. Stepping precariously onto the bridge, he tried to not be as fat as he knew he was. When that didn't work and the bridge creaked more and more, he ran it all the way to the end. With the bridge collapsing behind him, he barely got his two front hooves on the other side before the whole thing was gone.

Pulling himself up, and dusting himself off, he looked down as the bridge fell...and fell...and fell

"Great, just perfect."

Approaching the castle, it was just as big and crumbling as when he had been here with Twilight before. Trotting through what was left of the front gate, little chips of stone falling from the walls, he didn't have to go far to find who he was looking for.

"...what you want?! HUH?! Answer me you little bitch!"

Nutmeg could hear Discord taunting Twilight and he knew she was strong and wouldn't give in to mere words.

*WHACK*

The sound of a whip cracking and Twilight yelping shot right to Nutmeg's very core.He tore down a hallway towards the sound. He could hear Twilight softly crying from the next room.

"You just want me to kill him when he walks in?!"

Peeking around the corner, Twilight saw Nutmeg but Discord didn't notice.

"What should I do Twilight?"

"Well, right now Discord, I want you to shut up!"

Taking this as his cue, Nutmeg sprang and fired a blast of magic fire right at Discord but he quickly dodged.

"Well, well, well the famous Nutmeg I have heard so much about you."

"What did you do to her you monster!?"

"What? I can't just be expected to result to extreme measures when trying to get some information?"

Taking a good look at Twilight, Nutmeg noticed she had multiple bruises all over her and a little dried blood sprinkled through her coat. Simply put, she was not looking good and seemed to be getting weaker as she tried to stand up only to fall back down.

"YOU...YOU..."

"Me what Nutmeg? Going to rip my throat out or something?"

"No, much much worse."

Discord fired pure chaos blasts at Nutmeg as he continued dodging and fired back with his own blasts of every element he could find a book on. Fire, ice, water, air, rock, and pure magic spears of light at times. Finally, the two set down facing each other with Nutmeg in front of Twilight and Discord on the other side of the room.

"Well, it appears we have a sort of draw here don't we Nutmeg?"

"I"ll make you a deal you son of a bitch." Nutmeg growled at Discord. "Let us go and NEVER let me see your ugly mug again, and I'll let you live...barely."

"Ooooooo, gee that's a toughie. I'm gonna have to think about that one. Hmmmmmmmm...no."

Firing the biggest blast he could muster right at Nutmeg, Discord was sadly disappointed when Nutmeg generated up a mirror shield that deflected the shot right back at him. With no way to defend against his own magic, Discord was swallowed by the blast and disappeared in a flash into nothing. Nutmeg could only hope that he was gone for good.

But the rocking of the spell caused the castle to shake apart, and as Nutmeg turned back around, he watched in horror as Twilight was crushed under a bunch of falling rocks.

"NO!" screamed Nutmeg.

As he used that adrenaline to lift all the rocks off Twilight, he picked her up, placed her on his back, and took off in a full sprint threw the debris falling all around him, towards the castle entrance. Knowing he didn't have long to get to Ponyville to save his Twily.
