Discordean Melody

I turned around and came face to face with the intruder. It was none other than Discord. Wait. DISCORD?! “How did you get free?” I asked, stepping in front of the girls. I knew that the chances of him hurting them physically was slim, but I still couldn’t trust him. He laughed. “You always did cut to the chase as a filly. A hello would’ve been nice. If you don’t have manners, then at least try the teach the Crusaders some.” he said, tsk-tsking. I growled. “You’re not funny Discord.” His reply was just a surprised stare. “WHAT?!” I snapped, and he flinched. “Well, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen you, but I KNOW that even as your nightself that you shouldn’t look like that.” “Discord’s right, Melody. Yall are lookin kinda strange. And scary.” Applebloom said. What was she talking about? We were fine. “If only Lulu was here. Oh wait, that’d be impossible. How could I have possibly forgotten?” Discord said, a mischievous look on his face. We shook in anger. “WHAT HAST THOU DONE WITH LULU?!” We screamed. If he hurt her... Discord had a surprised look on his face. “For over a millenia I have not heard anypony use the Royal Canterlot Voice. But what you just shouted was louder than Luna and Celestia ever were.” Stamping the ground, We shouted, “QUIT STALLING! THOU WILT TELL US WHERE LULU IS, AND THOU SHALT DO IT NOW!” “Melody! Please stop!” Scootaloo shouted. Looking back at the Crusaders, We conjured up a magical bubble that would protect them from any attacks from Discord, mental, magical or physical. They would be stuck there, so they couldn’t get in the way if We decided to attack our enemy. Which was more likely than naught to happen.

I was truly surprised at what I saw. The red had seeped from Forgotten’s skin and into her mane and tail. Her mane and tail also had begun to flow, just a little, much like the princesses’. It was an odd sight and, honestly, a tad frightening. But she was being too demanding. “Couldn't you at least say please?” I asked her. In response she teleported herself in front of me and bucked in in the face. I went flying into a nearby tree. “Ooowww...” I moaned, placing my hand on my nose. The warmth of blood from my nose ran down my lion paw, and I growled. “WILT THOU NOW TELL US WHERE LULU IS?” Melody asked, walking up to me. “You DARE ATTACK ME?!” I screamed, lunging at her. I tackled her and held her down. Raising my talon, I said, “NOPONY ATTACKS ME!” But she bucked me in the stomach, and I let her go because of the pain. But I quickly overcame the pain. Looking up, I saw that she had lifted the Crusaders in the air and was flying back towards Ponyville. “I don’t think so.” I muttered to myself. Then I teleported myself above her a slashed her on the back and wings. She  fell to the ground, dropping the Crusaders in the process, before letting out the most horrid noise I have ever heard.

When she opened her mouth, a ear-shattering scream emitted from it. I clamped my hands over my ears and writhed in pain. My ears were ringing, and I felt as if I had gone deaf. I opened my eyes and saw that Forgotten had limped to the Crusaders to see if they were alright. Even though I couldn’t hear past the horrid ringing, I could see that the Crusaders were fine. Forgotten was the one who needed medical attention. The ringing slowly but surely disappeared, and I stood up. That alicorn had some nerve. Using my magic, I conjured up a bubble around Forgotten, pushing the Crusaders away from her. “What the hay?” Sweete Belle exclaimed. Forgotten tried to stand, but the bubble was not big enough for her to do so. She then tried to teleport out of it, but that didn’t work either. “There’s no point Forgotten. You are stuck in that bubble until either the sun rises or your mate comes and finds you.” I told her. Then, using my magic, I picked up the Crusaders and teleported out of there.

“NO!” I shouted, jumping towards Discord. But this stupid bubble stopped me, and made it so I couldn’t stop Discord from taking the Crusaders. I lay on the ground, hating myself for not being able to protect the girls. I couldn’t stand up anyways, and the pain in my back and wings were almost unbearable. I had been defeated, failed to protect those I cared about, and probably got myself killed. I couldn’t help but pity myself, and soon I found myself crying. Usually I would’ve told myself to stop, but what was the point? I cried and cried. And when my tears were all gone, and I was alone in the forest sobbing, I failed to notice the sound of hoofsteps come my way. But then I heard a voice squeak, asking somepony if I’d be alright and a deep voice went, “Eeyup.”, I looked up into a big pair of green eyes. And Big Mac just walked into the bubble and managed to get me on his back and then walked out of the bubble. “Don’t worry F.M. Yall be alright.” My eyes drooped. “B-Big Mac? Is t-that really you?” I asked him. He nodded. “Eeyup.”
