Discordean Melody

Melody’s P.O.V

I maneuvered around various floating objects, and ducked right before a winged rock slammed into my head. “Damn Discord. That lying, deceiving, horrid THING of a creature.” I said, not to anypony. Though the Crusaders heard it. I had said it quite loud. “Uh, Melody? That was ah little mean, don’cha think?” Applebloom stated. I said nothing, not wanting to scare her, because at this point I was a boiling teapot, ready to burst at the next excursion of heat. Many ponies were fleeing from the squirming vines and what seemed to be killer creatures made from marshmallow, but a burst of magic simply burnt them from existence. I was truly a loving pony, hate not one of my strong points, but at this moment I just wanted to light the Everfree aflame. My itching need to cause violence against Discord scared me only slight, and it was very hard not to strike out at he others surrounding me. ‘What the hay is wrong with me?’ I asked myself, though that thought perished. Big Macintosh and the Crusaders followed me. “Big Mac, why are we just walking?” Sweetie Belle’s voice called. It seemed distant, my thoughts blocking out most everything but my more important senses. So when a bowling ball the size of a tree came rolling towards us, I simply lifted it and threw it somewhere with my magic. “Ah think she jus’t needs to let off sum steam.” Big Mac replied. I knew, somehow, that my horn was letting off steam. Or smoke. Who knew? All I seemed to know at this point was hate, and the heat broiling inside of me. Burning, and there was no water to sate it. “Where could they be?” I muttered. “Who?” Scootaloo squeaked. “The Princesses?” she asked. I growled slightly. “Them too. But I meant the elements. I know where Applejack is, but I haven’t seen hide nor hair of the others. It’s not right.” My voice seemed harsher than usual. “What the HAY IS GOING ON!?!?!?” I mentally screamed, having to stop from the crashing headache it formed. “I thought it was good for me to keep my thoughts to myself.” I rasped, and the group all sidled away slightly. But, the sight of the ever-intruding wildlife brought them back to my sides. Though, there actions were barely noted as my world started spinning, faster and faster until I fell, pain coursing through me. I screamed and curled up in a ball, but it only worsened the pain. “MELODY!” I heard four separate voices scream, but they were so far away. So very, very far…

Discord’s P.O.V

I flipped and flew headfirst into a hot-sauce filled balloon. “Ah, chaos, you never fail me!” I shouted, licking the sauce off of my face. Oo, spicy. Nonetheless, I continued my lazy flight over Equestria, seeing ponies running and screaming. Sad that they knew not how to appreciate chaos at it’s wake. But, that wasn’t my concern right at this moment. A loud boom caught my attention, and a flaming form rammed into me, and we both hit the ground. Hard. The smell of burning fur and the intense heat were enough for me to summon a giant pail of water and pour upon us. With the flames and heat gone, I teleported myself out from under the figure, slight burns still on my body. Looking down, I saw the figure. It was a pegasus with a blue coat, though she was thoroughly singed. And, upon further examination, I saw her mane and tail were rainbow-colored. Realization struck me. It was that dreaded Element of Loyalty, Rainbow Dash! Frowning, I picked her up by the mane and held her at eye level. “Hello. I think I finally figured out why exactly they call you Rainbow CRASH.” I hissed, and her eyes slowly opened, to about half way. “D-discord. This is y-your fault. I-I failed my r-rainboom because of you.” She spat, stuttering slightly. I simply dropped her, and her quiet little cry in pain. “Boo-woo Rainbow Crash. That’s your own problem, not mine.” I told her, brushing my hands off, as if I had touch something absolutely disgusting. Which, for me, I had. “The o-others will g-get you.” I heard her squeak below me. “If you say so.” I said, rolling my eyes. I then moved slightly to catch a hot-sauce balloon, and put it above Rainbow Dash. “Have a little treat!” I said, and using one of my talons, I popped the balloon. The last thing I heard before I teleported away was her screams of agony.

???’s P.O.V

I messed with Melody’s head, pulling the mental strings that would send pain down every part of her. My hiss of a laughter filled her conciseness, and I could feel her discomfort. But her discomfort was the greatest of pleasures for me. I played with her, well toyed with her actually, feeding my pleasure every time the sun set. I was why she transformed. I couldn’t take a physical form, no, I was too weak. But I could change her appearance enough so I could feed off of her displeasure. It was as gratifying as it would get. But when Discord confronted her, her hidden hate bloomed with an unbelievable fury, and someone else also somehow influenced her. They only helped me though, helped me drag her into an area where she and I could have a little talk. And, I watched as her conciseness formed a physical form of her. It had worked. The pain had dragged her to me. She shuddered and stretched, her face still slightly contorted in pain. That pleased me. Oh, it pleased me very much. I summoned a magic, making a somewhat sort of barrier so she couldn’t be woken, and nothing else could reach her inner mind until I was finished. Since she was in my territory, she would play by my rules. I walked up to her and slammed one of my hooves into her gut. Her eyes opened, and she screamed, her face more contorted now than before. She coughed a few times before finally looking up and acknowledging me. “Hello.”
