"Discord!" Twilight says.

"Of course it's me," said Discord. "Who else could help you?"

Spike cleared his throat overdramatically, but Discord didn't seem to notice. "Not only am I the god of chaos, but I also am not a pony. Thus I have no cutie mark! And I could, ahem, 'take care' of this Quill guy, while you help Rainbow Dash!"

"Can you help us a little faster? I think the door's about to give," said Applejack, pressing her back against the castle door. Discord snapped his fingers and the door disappeared, leaving just a wall with furniture stacked near it.

"I believe that helps your problem," Discord said. "Now I'm off to go assassinate Quill. Tootles!" He ;eft the room with a snap of his finger.

"Do you think he'll kill Quill?" Spike asked.

"One one hand, he's the spirit of chaos, but on the other hand, Quill does have a lot of magic," Starlight said. "I'm pretty sure he can do it." Starlight laughed sheepishly, and the room fell into dead silence.

"So are we gonna wake Rainbow up?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle poked Rainbow.

"She's not waking up," Applebloom said.

"She must be really out cold," Sweetie replied.

"Hold on, I think I know a spell that can wake her up." Starlight's horn emitted with magic, shooting out to Rainbow's scarred body. Suddenly she opened her eyes. Rainbow had a look of terror on her face for a split second, and started smiling, obviously faked, for there were beads of sweat on her face, her smile was extremely large, and she was obviously in pain.

"Rainbow! What's wrong?" Twilight said, a worried look on her face.

"Can't... stop... smiling," Rainbow said. "He'll whip me again..."

"Rainbow, he's not here right now. You can stop smiling now," Pinkie said. Rainbow didn't seem to hear.

"He said... I can't... listen... to ponies... who don't believe..." Rainbow smiled, yet tears pooled in her eyes. The others tried to console her, but she said, "No... Please... STOP IT!" Rainbow's scars seemed to be opening and widening, as if punishing her for associating with her friends. Blood dripped and stained her wings.

"Her scars are widening! Get away!" Twilight exclaimed. "She's been afflicted by the Punishment Spell!"

"How is she under a spell when the torturer pony didn't have a cutie mark?" Rarity asked. "I also thought there was a magic barrier around the jail!"

"Maybe they didn't bring their own magic in. Maybe..." Starlight said, "Maybe they brought a piece of the staff in!"

"Oh no... If the staff can use the Punishment spell, then Discord could be afflicted by it! I hope he's okay," Fluttershy said.

Meanwhile, above Ponyville, Discord grimaced. "The lowlife has controlled the entirety of Ponyville. How disgusting, wanting everyone to be 'normal.' Well I don't DO normal, right Discord?" A second Discord with glasses appeared next to him. "Correct!" A third one appeared. "I agree."

"Well, we'll have to stop Quill before he's taken over Equestria and made it boring. This should be easy!"

Discord flew down toward the village, full of scarred ponies, where Quill, his fur completely covered by the townsfolk's cutie marks, was shooting magic lasers at Twilight's castle. The lasers bounced off, as if magic couldn't affect the tower. "My fellow citizens," Quill said. "We mustn't focus on these cowards anymore. We need to expand!" He pointed toward Canterlot. "We must take the other Princesses, then we kill Starlight once and for all!" The other ponies cheered. Discord seemed unhappy.

"Although you want to do that," Discord said, "I can't let you." He snapped his fingers and he was equipped with a laser rifle and a suit of battle armor. "So I'm just going to murder you. No hard feelings. Oh, wait. Very hard feelings."

Quill didn't say a word and waved his staff. Discord quickly teleported away.

"You're going to have to try harder than that to stop me," Discord said, patting Quill's head. Again Quill shot at him, to no avail.

"People of Ponyville," Quill said. "I have equipped you for battle like this. Everyone, use the magic I gave you!" Suddenly the townspeople grabbed short, white sticks, and started to fire at Discord. The townspeople, even though about to scar a draconequus, held the smiling looks on their faces. However Discord was able to dodge every single one of the lasers.

"Fool! You can't stop me!" Suddenly Discord felt a shot of pain in his back. There, behind him, flew Rainbow Dash, holding a white stick, her cutie mark an equals sign.

It's kind of hard to juggle 11 characters and have them all get a part. Maybe I'll reduce their numbers...
