Discord's Hunger Games

"Hello, my darlings." Discord said with a chuckle as he watched his five prisoners from the hidden cameras mounted on the prison walls they had spent the past three days suffering in. "I hope you’re all ready and hungry, because we’re going to be having some more fun." He listened to their moans and groans as they all looked for the source of his voice and rubbed their empty tummies, and all of them moaned from the starvation he was putting them through.

"Let us out of here, you psycho!" Starlight Glimmer hissed up at the wall in front of her, believing that’s where Discord was hidden. Her stomach had been grumbling and rumbling loudly for almost a day now, as she rubbed it softly to hush it back into momentary silence and glared back up. "Im starving in here! I need to eat! I don’t know why you’re doing this to us, but it needs to stop! Fluttershy's gonna kick your ass when she finds out you’ve been starving us pretty ladies like this!"

"Oh, I’m so scared." Discord said mockingly. "Fluttershy and the girls have no idea where you are or what I’ve dine with you. You will never be freed unless you do what I say." Starlight looked sad and tried to cast another teleportation spell, but was too exhausted from the raging hunger in her gut. "Oh, I know. It’s such a shame that I cursed the room so you can’t use your precious magic to escape."

Autumn Blaze sat and rubbed her hooves slowly over her bloated, yet empty, growling belly. Because she was a bit fatter than the others in the room, her stomach felt even emptier and noisier as she patted it and wished desperately for food. "Please, Mr. Voice, just give us something to eat. My stomach is so hungry I could just devour an entire cow! If I don’t feed it it'll get even angrier and then it’ll be mad at me for keeping it empty!" She pouted as she gave her noisy belly a few more irritated pats.

Spur, the young blue-haired pegasus, sat and rolled a single hoof over the surface of her tummy. It let out a deep grumble in response. "Oh man, I’m so hungry, my belly feels like there is nothing in it by now! I hate this! It’s starting to hurt from how empty it is! Let me out of this place already." Discord didn’t respond and she just sighed. "I just wish I was home right now, away from this crazy place and eating some of my mom's pancakes right now." She looked down sadly as she crossed her hooves over her empty noisy gut. "I hope Biscuit remembers to feed Bloofy. The poor little guy is probably as hungry as I am right now."

"I've been hungry before, but this is just ridiculous!" Mane Allgood muttered to herself as she rubbed both hooves over her aching taught belly from where it was exposed under her explorers jacket. "My stomach is so empty, I can just feel it. It has nothing in it to digest at this point. And it’s growling like a tribe of angry cragadiles." She winced as she felt another loud grumble send pains of hunger shooting through her slim body. "If I was home right now, I could be enjoying a big tasty meal with my husband."

"Yeah, well, you’re not at home." Discord said sarcastically. "And you won’t be. Not for a LONG while." He enjoyed seeing all these miserable ponies pay for thinking baldy of him in the past. But that wasn’t why he brought them there. He wanted to watch them fight, like Twilight and her friends when he turned them against each other. He wanted to see them suffer.

A thunderous growl suddenly broke his concentration. He looked around the room. "Woah! Who’s was THAT?"

Everyone looked towards Mrs. Cake, who blushed as she patted her bloated blue belly as it shook and growled. "Oh, dear, I’m sorry. I just get so hungry when I don’t eat, because of how much bigger my tummy is. Man, I could really go for a good cream-y carrot cake right now."

Autumn Blaze rolled her eyes. "Oh, please, I’m WAY hungrier than you, and my stomach may be big, but it isn’t THAT big." She turned to the baker and pushed out her sore grumbling gut and showcased and rubbed it where everyone could see, as it continued to quiver and moan. "Man, you hear that? Just goes to show how starving I am. Your big belly can growl and cry all it wants, it’ll never be as empty and hungry as MINE!"

Discord grinned. This was what he needed to see. A fight over who was the hungriest.

Spur climbed to her shaky hooves and walked up to the Kirin. "Hey, you don’t even know hungry until you’ve heard my tummy. I didn’t get any food to eat at ALL before that guy brought me here!" She flew up and showcased her thinning, groaning belly to everyone as she rubbed a hoof over it to ease its thundering growls. "Listen to those growls! I hardly get anything to eat as it is because I’m always so busy taking care of my pet Bloofy. I’m practically always hungry on a regular day! Now look at me! Withering away in this dungeon with you all! I think I’m already starting to lose my sexy figure."

Mrs. Cake sort of over waddled to the group. Her big sagging stomach jiggled and groaned with each step she took as she grabbed it's roaring mass and pushed it in the other's directions. "You hear that? That’s how empty my fat belly gets when I haven’t properly fed it for a long time. If only I had my baking tools I could make us something to eat and fill our tummies up. But in the meantime, don’t go thinking you’re the hungriest- because it’s definitely me!"

Starlight turned to them. "No guys, don’t argue. That’s what he wants." But she was quite hard to hear over her rumbling tummy, which got louder and louder with each passing minute as the pony rubbed it. "But man, I could go for a few hot spice burritos right about now." She licked her lips and patted her belly a little harder. "Oh, Starlight. You’re as stubborn as your mentor.You know what, I don’t even care anymore. Just admit you’re hungry and I’ll let you all eat."

At the promise of food, everypony's stomachs began growling even louder than they had before. They all rubbed and patted them and stared at Starlight with big pleading eyes. She felt her own stomach shift and gurgle inside her like it was begging for her to feed it.

"Fine." Starlight said. She sat and worked her hooves over her roaring belly and looked up at Discord. "I’m hungry."

"Sorry, What was that?" Discord said.

Starlight rolled her eyes as she looked down and gave her stomach a hard rub. "I said, I'm HUNGRY!"

"Yeah, me too!" Spur cried.

"Oh goodness, me three! I’m starving! Give me something to fill my grumpy belly up with!" Mane Allgood pleaded as she flew and patted her bubbling beige tummy.

"Please feed me!" Autumn Blaze moaned with her stomach.

"Just a few cupcakes." Mrs. Cake begged as she clutched her roaring tummy. "Please..."

Everyone was extremely hungry and were expecting Discord to give in and feed them, and after some thinking and looking around at them patting their empty tummies, he finally agreed. "Oh, alright, I suppose I can’t let your starve."

The draconequus gave a twisted grin from behind the blank walls that none of the starving mare's could see as he snapped his fingers, and a gigantic table filled with delicious foods magically appeared before their hungry eyes in the room. Autumn Blaze cheered and rubbed her bulbous growling stomach with both hooves. "Now I can finally fill Mr. Belly up and he’ll finally be quiet!"

Everyone rejoiced and dragged themselves towards the table, ready to eat. It all seemed too good to be true. And, unfortunately, it wasn’t.

"Yum! I can finally eat! I really am super famished!" Starlight cried as she rubbed her tummy, which growled and shook in anticipation of the incoming meal. She patted it again and picked up a hot, juicy, succulent turkey leg, licked her lips as she looked it over to make sure it was real, and held it up to her awaiting mouth. But as she stuck it in her mouth to feel the sensation, she found that the food suddenly disappeared into thin air, like it was never even there. "What the hell?" She said.

Everyone else had similar bad luck. An entire bushel of grapes disappeared from Autumn Blaze's drooling mouth as she waited for them to slide down her gullet and fill her large growling stomach. But once they touched her teeth, they simply ceased to exist. "Hey!" She slammed her hooves on the table and then on her grumbling tummy in frustration. "This isn’t fair! I really like grapes!"

"Just a single slice of cake! That’s all I want!" Mrs. Cake sobbed as she shovelled slice after slice of yummy-looking chocolate cake down her gullet, but was left with nothing but an empty mouth and an even more ravenous hunger as she rubbed her stomach and felt like crying.

"What in Equestria is going on here?" Mane Allgood looked around the table with a dazed look on her face, too tired too even fly at this point as she tiredly rubbed her growling belly and watched the food disappear before everyone's eyes.

Discord couldn’t hold it in any longer. He threw his head back and laughed like crazy. It didn’t take them very long to realize it was all just an awful trick. "I can’t believe it! None of the food was real? That’s so not fair for me or my whining tummy!" Spur cried as she stroked her stomach and felt like crying from the unbearable hunger.

"Why are you DOING this to us?" Mane Allgood looked around at the walls as tears filled her eyes and upset gurgles filled her drooping starving belly as she patted it. "I don't even know who you are, you jerk!”

Immediately after she said this, a business card suddenly appeared in front of her face that read- Discord Draconequus- Lord Of Chaos, Emergency Vice Headmare, Professional Jerk

Discord yawned. "Well, it’s getting late. You wouldn’t know it, though, since I forgot to put in windows! Whoopsie! I better be heading to bed. And if the five of you want a chance of food in the morning, you’ll get some rest too- though that’ll be unlikely with those bellies of your's growling like crazy all night! I can hear them from here!" He laughed chaotically and they heard the sound of him disappearing.

"This is so cruel." Autumn Blaze muttered as she laid down on her back to try and fall asleep, as Discord suggested. Her big empty balloon of a belly was growling endlessly at this point and not even both hooves rubbing over its surface would quell the noises. "I’m starving. You can all hear my belly growling from over there, right? Who does that draconequus think he is, keeping us beautiful girls in here to starve? It’s just so ridiculous. I’m so hungry, if there was a window with bars in it I could eat through them and crawl through to escape!"

Starlight gave her fellow prisoner a sad sympathetic look but said nothing as she massaged the punches her empty gut was throwing in her aching round stomach, which was burbling and roaring as loud as a dragon by now. "Ugh, I just wish someone could come and rescue us. Then I could get some food in my tummy! I don’t care if the stuff they give me is past it’s expiration date, my belly will take it, won’t you, belly?" Her purple stomach lurched and groaned in response and she calmed it down with a few more hard rubs.

Mrs. Cake licked her lips and felt the rippling all over her inflated belly as it loudly rumbled nonstop for food. "It’s just such a shame what this hunger is doing to my body. My tummy looks so engorged and full on the outside, but there’s nothing in it on the inside but air and those beastly growls. It’s empty and starved, just like me, and there’s nothing either of us can do about it." Her ears lowered as she continued to move her hooves over the stretch of her angry stomach.

Spur looked down at her own void belly, which unlike the others, had sunken in greatly to the point where her ribs were visible. It hurt now when it growled, which was every few seconds if not always. Spur cried as she rubbed her stomach, and waited almost as loud as it was. "All I want is food! He should just give us SOMETHING to eat! And why do this to us? When he knows we have better things to do than starve like this!"

Mane Allgood laid on her side and looked down at her big drooping belly, which groaned and vibrated before the poor mare's eyes like a rattlesnake's tail shaking. It gargled and groaned all the while, her insides searching desperately for something to digest. "Now I really wish I was at home in Ponyville with my Scootaloo and her aunts. They make the best chocolate chip cookies you ever tasted." Her tummy growled at a volume that echoed through the room and made everypony else cover their ears before moving their hooves back to their barren bellies. "Sorry, tummy, I didn’t mean to mention food." She cooed to her gut as she grabbed it and shook it around.

"Heh, cookies." Mrs. Cake said with a warm smile as she patted her stomach. "You know, if I was at home right now, I’d probably sink my teeth into a nice big chocolate cake with vanilla icing and sprinkles. One or two of those and I’d probably be full." Her fat belly groaned as if to compliment her on the thought. "Yes, that DOES sound good, doesn’t it?” She said to it.

Autumn Blaze slapped the sides of her rumbling belly while thinking about her favourite food. "Ooh, how about fruit? I LOVE fruit! Bananas and oranges and lots of red juicy apples, yum yum yum!" She simpered with everyone else as she rubbed her hooves over her extruding, yet impossibly loud stomach, and whispered "Why do these kinds of things keep happening to me?"

Spur thought for a bit and then added to the game. "Pancakes! I said I like pancakes earlier, remember! Lots of butter and bacon and hot maple syrup on top- mmmm!" She licked her lips and her empty belly squelched and hissed underneath the soft motions of her exhausted hooves.

Everyone looked towards Starlight. She sighed deeply. She’d been starving in there for as long as them, but had been hiding her immense hunger until now. "Okay, fine! Chilli! Peppers! Salads! Burritos! Tacos! I LOVE Mexican food! Especially now that I’m practically about to pass out from hunger! Hayburgers! Enchiladas and lots and lots of sandwiches! I love them ALL!" She groaned and wrapped her hooves over her sad stomach as it roared louder and louder as she spoke.

"Ugh! This is just making me and Mr. Tummy hungrier!" Autumn muttered miserably. "Er, I mean, Mr. Belly. Ugh! I don’t even know anymore! I’m dying! I just want to die, or eat. Whichever comes first." She gazed down at her sore plump tummy. ”Hopefully the last one."

Mrs. Cake sighed and looked around with a sad smile. "I bet if Discord had heard all of that, he would have fed us and let us go." Everything agreed, and then when her tummy let out another loud growl, Spur burst into tears, matched only by the groans of her thin whining belly.

***

Everyone spent the next hour or so patting their aching bellies, which either inflated or, in Spur's case, sunk in, as the night inched by, minute after agonizingly long minute. Eventually, the exhaustion overwhelmed them and they all slowly fell asleep, unsure if they would even wake up at all.

Unfortunately, the hunger in their tummies made its way into their minds, and it cursed their dreams with torturing visions of delicious foods, which they could see and touch, but as soon as it reached their lips, it all disappeared, leaving them alone and hungry.

"Forget this." Spur said in her dreams as she fell back and let the sounds of her skeletal tummy fill her ears. "I’m never going to eat again. Goodbye, cruel world...”

Starlight patted her deflating growling belly in her dreams and started to cry. "So hungry... I’m so hungry. This is it. The end. I’m so sorry Twilight..." She said as everything started to go black.

Suddenly, a loud smashing sound rang out in the distance. It hadn’t come from the dream world, though. It was REAL. Everyone slowly stirred awake as they strained their aching ears to hear. Their bellies were as loud as ever, but they didn’t care, because a minute later there was an explosion, and the whole wall in front of them came crashing down.

"Woah!" They all cried and clutched their roaring tummies in fear, thinking the bright white light shining through the hole was to symbolize them dying, but instead Twilight Sparkle and her friends jumped into the room, ready to do battle. "TWILIGHT!" Starlight cried, extremely thankful that the Princess had arrived just in time.

The Mane 6 had expected to see Starlight when they busted into the room, but they weren’t expecting to see the other starving corpses strewn on the floor. "Mrs. Cake?" Pinkie asked. "I got a note saying you went to a cupcake convention."

"CUPCAKES! YES!" Mrs. Cake cried as she crawled over to Twilight and grabbed her front hoof as she drooled profusely and touched her concaving stomach. "I want cupcakes! Please feed me! PLEASE!" Everyone else clamoured to their hooves and began making similar prayers to the girls standing before them as they rubbed circles over their own cranky guts.

Twilight looked at her friends, who were as shocked as she was, and said, "Uh, o-okay."

After lifting the magic curse on the room, the five friends were soon teleported to a nearby restaurant, where they ate and ate and ate until nearly all of the building's food was gone, and their bellies were bulging and giving happy gurgled of satisfaction. "Man, I’m never leaving the house without eating again." Mane Allgood said with a relived laugh as she patted her swollen gut unable to move, but for a good reason this time.

When Twilight and the girls arrived, the five survivors told them what had happened, and Fluttershy explained that when they confronted Discord, he escaped, likely back to his dimension.

"Uh oh!" Spur bit her nails nervously. "What if he comes back and dos this to us again?" Everyone looked between each other and simply shrugged it off and caressed their bloated bellies, just thankful that they were full now.
