Discordean Melody

"The same thing I'm going to do with you Luna." Discord hissed before clapping and casting a spell that began to turn us to stone. We screamed in pain. As our limbs, muscles and bones turned to stone, We remembered how painful it had been when banished to the moon. This was much worse. It had felt like a many tiny pinpricks when We were banished, but when another limb was turned to stone, it felt as if a thousands volts enveloped that area, along with somepony stabbing it at the same time. First our legs and tail, then slowly our flanks. But our scream was most likely loudest when the transformation hit our lungs and heart. Our scream echoed through the castle, and the transformation, thank Mother Harmony, sped up to a point that it had finished before We had even blacked out.

We opened our eyes groggily and groaned. "What hast happened?" We muttered, standing up slowly and stretching our wings. A forgotten yet familiar pain swept through our body, and We winced. There was a throbbing pain in our head, and We had to wait a few moments before it just became an uncomfortable pulse. Looking around, We took in our settings, or lack of settings, if one wanted to be correct. We where in what seemed like an endless black void, no beginning, no end. As our memory slowly came back, We began walking. Within what We believed were about 10 or so minutes, We had remembered what had happened.

"Your descent was shaky with that sunset Tia." We said, messing with her. We could see the effects of too much cider starting to affect our dear sister. She blushed, and We couldn't help but smirk to ourselves. "Just raise the moon Luna." she said. We flew out the window, laughing to ourselves. This was definitely something We were going to hold over her head for a long time coming. Diverting our attention to the task at hoof, We focused on the hidden objects that were the moon and stars. Using our strong magic, We enveloped the moon and stars in our magic, and flew up, raising it as We did so. We smiled, loving the sight of our night sky. Twas something only We could create. Smiling, We flew back into the castle and landed gently on the carpeted floor. We looked around, noticing that Tia was gone. "Tia? Are you there? Tia?" We called. We spoke normal most of the time, but when thinking to ourselves, We always used We, for We did not want to lose to old ways. A shadow caught my attention, and We saw that it was none other than... "Discord?! But how..." We asked ourselves. Wait. If he was here, and Tia wasn't, then... "What have you done with Tia?!" We screamed, knowing he had to be responsible for her absence. We positioned ourselves for attack, but he teleported himself in front of us. *"The same thing I'm going to do with you Luna."***

We shivered at the painful memory, and fretted. Where was our sister? Was she ok? A glowing light caught our attention, and what seemed like 2 screens appeared. Both blaring sound, one showed the throne room, many guards and police in there. We realized that that must be what our stone eyes could see. But the other screen confused us. We saw three young fillies, and We saw Discord and heard him speak. "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 to teach the Crusaders some." he said, tsk-tsking. We felt an internal connection with what we realized was our niece, Forgotten Melody, and a part of our mental selves intertwined. "Defend yourself!' We thought, hoping she'd hear us. And, when We did this, We saw and felt what she did.

“You’re not funny Discord.” His reply was just a surprised stare. “WHAT?!” I snapped, and he flinched. "Well, it's been quite a while since I've seen you, but I KNOW that even as your nightself 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. “Couldn't you at least say please?” he asked, and We teleported and bucked his face, sending him flying into a tree. If he was going to stall, then We would make him regret it. He had blood coming from his nose, and we heard him groan and put his lion paw on his nose. Then he growled. “WILT THOU NOW TELL US WHERE LULU IS?” We asked him, walking up to him. “You DARE ATTACK ME?!” he screamed, lunging himself at us. He tackled and held us down. He glared at us, his eyes completely red, even the yellow part was. Raising his talon, he shrieked, "NOPONY ATTACKS ME!" But We bucked him in the stomach before had had a chance. Once he let us go, we used our magic to pick up the bubble the Crusaders were in and began flying back towards Ponyville. But a sudden slashing pain in my back and wings sent us flailing, screaming in pain.

Forgotten and ourselves lost our connection then, and We went flying back. Discord had attacked her and three young fillies. We had to figure out where we were, and we needed to right now.
