'THIS IS TORTUROUS!' Discord yelled at his own subconscious. Which was really the only thing he could talk to.

'The only torturous thing here is you' his subconscious replied.

He was back in the garden with his own thoughts, plants, insects and pigeons so. many. bucking. pigeons! as cliché as it was it was to say... It was agonizingly boring!!

And as much as he hated pigeons before ether of his imprisonments he hated them even more now that he couldn't tern them into pillows or sandwiches 'Damed sky rats...' He growled inwardly (not that he could do much else)

He felt his more animalistic side pacing in the literal, yet at the same time metaphorical stone cage that was his mind. He was a sapient creature yes, but he was still an animal in the deepest part of his mind.

If anything this thought only added to his already boiling anger 'the first thing I do if and when I get out -and I will- is... Well actually the first thing is exact my revenge on the sky rats but the second thing I do will be butchering that purple unicorn and her precious princess's... Naw... Maybe encase them in stone and toss them to the sky rats~!'

This went on for quite some time into the night until his attention was diverted to a pony, standing directly infront of him, it was difficult to make out as the sun had set a couple hours ago. She seemed to be a pegasus mare, she had a pure white coat and a long jet black mane along with sparkling emerald eyes but it was her cutie mark that was most distracting from the otherwise 'normal' mare. It was a black feather infront of a crescent moon... 'Huh... Wonder what it means. Why did I just think that?'

The mare smiled "it is just part of the disguise I didn't think to give it an actual meaning" he was caught off-guard to say the least. Nopony had even so much as looked at him for to long before scampering off after his second imprisonment.

Discord looked at her for a few more moments before returning to his thoughts 'now about those sky rats, I think th-'

"Did you consider giving cat's wings? Then they could kill them!" She smiled brightly, ears twitching wildly in every direction

Discord was shocked. He had thought she was just rambling to herself when she arrived. But now... 'Can she hear me?' he asked himself.

"Yhep! I can hear everything you think-" she placed a hoof to her chest "- I'm Midnight Hawk, I'm here to criticize you!"

He laughed 'you criticize me!? Do you know who I am?' He asked.

She nodded "Yah, You're Discord the spirit of chaos, you got you're ass handed to you by a bunch of girls using the 'magic of friendship'-" she fluttered her eyelashes "- you escaped for less then 48 hours before you were ternd to stone with a magic rainbow and you put yourself in that situation because you didn't think of a good enough plan!" She stopped her hoof

'... So... You do know me?' He would have grinned if he weren't set in stone.

"No I thought you were the guard of some sort of treasure... My mistake" she trotted closer to him "yes I know who you are. And I'm going to criticize you any way!"

He shighed 'well I can't exactly stop you now can I?'

She shook her head, her smile fading into a more serious look "nope! Any way lets start from the beginning- you taunted the princesses and the elements of harmony, if you had given them no warning you have would have given them no time to prepare! Yet you did it anyway" she curled into a lying position

'well... I wanted to rub it in I suppose' he was still haveing trouble understanding why this mare could hear him, but decided not to question it.

She giggled "yah, don't do that next time. Any way, secondly, the elements of harmony- witch from now on I shall call E.O.H.- you let the go on a wild goose chase, witch is good, the part ware you messed up was when you told them thay were wrong to their faces! you shouldn't tell someone that. You should've sent them off on another wild goose chase and deposed of the elements"

'Well I-' he was interrupted by the mare stomping her hoof.

"im. not. done yet. You could've just killed one of them! Without all six the E.O.H. Don't work! But you played games and toyed with them! You didn't have the gut to finish the job. Even if you managed to escape the elements 'Ranbow of justice' you would've been stopped sooner rather then later because thay still had the E.O.H.! You lost. you failed. you dug your own grave and offed yourself!-" she Took a step forward with each of the last three sentences "you didn't even try"

'What's your point? Did you just come here to insult me?!' He noticed her eyes flash red.

She nodded and took a deep breath "In short? Yah, Pretty much" she smiled, got up and stretched.

'Why you little-' he cut himself off when she was engulfed in red smoke. When it dissipated, she was a whole different...'not possible...' he thought to himself. She had ram-like horns, her hind legs were still the same white colour but were that of a dragon, a similar situation with her front legs- thay were white still- but were that of a lion, her body had expanded into a serpentine shape, still retaining its white colour but gaining longer fur, her cutie mark was gone, her tail was a that of a wolf long, black, silky fur adorned it, her face had a much larger, longer muzzle, red eyes with black slits as puples, her pegasus wings were much larger and looked like an alicorns wings, her mane remanded much the same, save for its length being almost doubled along with her neck length.

'You're a... a' he couldn't even begin to form a rational thought.

"A draconequus? I know," she purred "you're one to, the sky is blue, the grass is to" the grass around her paws began to tint light blue "Oh! And I lied before, my name is Melody"

'But... I... How?! How do you exist?!' he mentally screamed at her.

She shighed and reared up onto her hind legs, tail swishing behind her "You see, Discord, when a mommy draconequus and a daddy draconequus love each other vary much th-"

'I know where babies come from! I'm not an idiot! I meant how is there another draconequus? I thought the others were all dead!'

She shrugged "As far as I know they are. We're the only ones left, my mismatched friend" she leaned on his pedestal.

He felt several emotions he didn't even know existed wash over him. 'Is that why you can talk to me?'

She nodded and walked back to her original spot, several feet in front of him "I guess that makes sense. Though I'll admit, I didn't take you for the type to make sense" she flicked her slightly longer ears.

'Well I'm not... Wait... Did you say your name was Melody?'

She nodded again "Yah, yah, I know, I know, Discord and Melody the only known living draconequi in Equestria" she said dryly "You know what blame the author! Probably did this on purpose" she spat angrily. Then she began floating, much in the same way that he did.

'Yah... What a dick' he agreed.

She giggled "My, my, my, what colourful language in this land full of magic and rainbows. If I didn't know any better, I might have the audacity to censor you" she tapped her chin with a finger before shaking her head "nah. Anyway, I need to get you out of that statue" she landed back on her feet.

'Whare have you been the past millennia?'

She shrugged "Romaneia, Prance, Germaneia, places like that. I traveled a lot" she looked at the sky "it's almost dawn. I have to go" she sniffed the air "like, now" she once again was engulfed in red smoke and Midnight Hawk was back.

Discord whined internally and immediately scolded himself 'okay...' the thought was somehow sad sounding.

She smiled "Oh, don't worry Discord, I'll be back by midnight. Don't miss me to much" she said in a mocking tone. Before unfurling her wings and flying off.

Discord shighed internally 'flying cats... Why didn't I think of that?'

Pinkie pie awoke with a start. Her left ear was particularly buzzing with its erratic movements, her right eye was twitching and her hind legs spasming.

All five of her friends, who she was haveing a sleep over with at Twilight's, woke up as well. When they saw the pink mare thay rushed over.

Twilight was the first to get to her "Pinkie what's wrong?" She placed a hoof on her friends back.

"Left ear, right eye, hind legs. This can only mean one thing, an unlikely pair are forming an alliance" she narrowed her eyes as the movements stopped.

Rainbow rolled her eyes and groaned "You've got to be kidding me! Pinkie that's nice and all, but not worth waking up for!" She trotted back to her sleeping bag.

Rarity nodded "I have to agree with Ranbow on this one, a lady needs her beauty sleep!" She huffed and trotted off to her her sleeping arrangement as well.

Applejack yawned and passed out on the spot, she hadn't actually left her sleeping bag.

Fluttershy muttered something inaudible and crawled back to bed.

Twilight sighed "Good night, Pinkie"
She trotted upstairs to her bedroom.

Pinkie frowned slightly "oh well," she whispered to herself as she settled back down "it's probably just something cute like a fox and a hare raceing" she drifted into sleep among her friends.

Author's Note

Didn't originally think to make 'Midnight Hawk' a draconequus. I decided this would go better with the planed story. So yah. Sorry if you don't like that kinda thing... Heh 666... unintentional I swear!
