"Huh? Where am I?"

Discord woke up to see that he was chained to a wall.

"Discord," said "the Portal Master", as he walked into the room. "I have one thing to reveal." He took off his cloak and it revealed another draconequus! "I am your father!"

"Say WHAT?!"

"Where's Discord?"

The group heard Fluttershy's words a few minutes after she awoke and they checked. Discord wasn't with them!

"He must have been kidnapped when we were knocked out by that potion!" shouted Pipsqueak.

"We need to find him!" said Rainbow Dash, "even if we found Flitter and Cloudchaser, we still need to find Twilight and only Discord knows the directions to where she is, plus he's the one who's leading us!"

The group began looking everywhere all over the building for Discord.

"Discord?"

"Where are you?"

What the group didn't know yet was that there was a secret room that was locked with a 6-digit combination code. This was where Discord was taken in and chained up.

"But, if you're my father," said Discord in disbelief, how come I never knew you?

"Well," said Discord's father, "the second you were born, I thought you would be able to cope with the outside world and become the next Master of Chaos so I left you in the desert. I watched every move you made and you were doing a great job on being the Master of Chaos! During that time you corrupted these ponies and made their land your funhouse, I was watching and I was impressed! But these ponies ruined everything! But then came several days ago when you were freed that I saw you do the most atrocious move ever. You became friendly towards these ponies! Don't you see? They are only making you look bad, weak, and useless!"

"So what if I look bad, weak, and useless?" retorted Discord. "These ponies taught me the true meaning of friendship and that being bad was never what I wanted. You abandoned me the second I was born. Do you know how much pain I went through? I was called a freak. Barely anypony liked me at all and when there was a pony who liked me, he or she was taken by their parents! Even when I did nice things for the ponies that I didn't know, they were mean to me. And it was only several days ago when there was finally a pony who was nice to me. Fluttershy, the element of kindness. Despite the time I corrupted her and her friends, she was willing to give me a second chance. Not that I blame the others for getting mad at me the second I came back."

This left the draconequus' father surprised for a few seconds, but he dismissed it. "You're a disgrace. I can't believe you would suck up to these ponies and become their friend. That's not what we draconequuses do. In fact, I wish you were the one I captured instead of these two lavender pegasi. Then maybe I wouldn't have to waste every few minutes each day repelling your magic from bringing these useless ponies bac-" he stopped as he realized his mistake.

"You were the reason why I couldn't use my chaos magic beyond Equestria?!" shouted Discord. "So if it weren't for you, I could have snapped these three innocent ponies back to their friends?!" If he wasn't chained to a wall, he would have lunged at his father and attacked him.

"Ah give up!"

"I guess he's gone for good..." sighed Fluttershy sadly.

"We looked everywhere..." moped Sweetie Belle.

"Not everywhere!"

The group turned to Pinkie. She was typing in random numbers onto a door.

"This door isn't opening! And since Discord isn't anywhere else, my Pinkie Sense tells me that he's in here! I've tried every combination code up to 0-9-1-7-1-0, but the door still won't budge!"

Pinkie typed in another number, which was 0-9-1-7-1-1. Just by sheer luck, the door managed to open and Pinkie saw a long hallway. She bounced through, and the group decided to follow her in hopes that they would find Discord.

"Goodbye, son..." said Discord's father darkly. "Since you have shamed your father, you're not seeing him again. Here, take this before I leave." He threw a picture of the two young alicorns that were the same ones Discord met in his flashback.

Suddenly Discord began having another bad memory...

Discord winced at the mess that had happened. He had tried to put a bottle of cider back on the stand, but the seller saw him, screamed, and ran off, but accidentally ripped the sign off, which fell on the ground. The other ponies had screamed at the sight of a draconequus and ran, but one pony that was lighting a campfire accidentally caused a fire to happen onto the sign, which caused the stand to catch on fire, and everything else around it to also catch on fire. The firefighters and doctors had to sort the mess out. Luckily, nopony was hurt, but they were all glaring at the draconequus.

"I knew it all along from the start," said a voice. Discord turned to see the two alicorns glaring at him for the accident.

"You've definitely proved yourself to be one thing: a freak." said the white and pink one.

"A freak..."

"A freak..."

"A freak..."

"He's in there!" shouted Pinkie, when she heard Discord's screaming. The rest of the group followed after the pink pony and saw the draconequus chained up to a wall. He was shaking in fear while taking deep breaths.

"Discord," said Fluttershy, "are you okay?"

"All of you, "the Portal Master" revealed himself." said the draconequus. "He was my father all along." This surprised the group.

"Why didn't you tell us, darling?" asked Rarity.

"I never knew I had a father until now," answered Discord, and he told the ponies everything his father had told him from being abandoned to the chaos magic unable to bring the three innocent ponies back, as his father had repelled the magic.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you, Discord."

"When I see your father, I will teach him to not mess with you!"

"Where is he right now anyways?"

"He left the place so that he would never see my face again," said the draconequus. "He claims that I have shamed him. I wish I could locate him, but at this point, he knows my every move and is probably teleporting from one place to another, so who knows where he is."

"Well, let's just get these chains off of you," said Rainbow Dash.

After a few minutes, the draconequus was no longer chained to the wall. He thanked the group and they went to the room where Flitter and Cloudchaser were. After freeing them, the group decided to leave, but all of a sudden, a charming-looking cat in a red jacket jumped in front of them!

"Who are you?" asked Thunderlane.

"Capper's the name. Charming's my game."

"We could definitely use a friend out here!" said Flitter, "the more, the merrier!"

"You know what?" agreed the cat, whose name was Capper, "Miss Pink Bow Hair is right. And, if I do say so myself..."

(pretend that Twilight is not here and that Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Flitter, Cloudchaser, Discord, Helia, Thunderlane, Rumble, Pipsqueak and Button Mash are here)

Capper opened a trapdoor that led to a room. "Welcome, my little ponies." the ponies (and Spike and Discord too) came out of the trapdoor and gasped.

"Ooh! A sort of a roco-hobo-Bohemian hodgepodge." awed Rarity.

"Ooh!" said Pinkie, as she saw some glass lamps up on the ceiling, "So many fun breakables!" the group toured Capper's manor as they saw several things like rugs, pictures, books, and other things too.

About an hour later after touring the manor, the group was telling Capper stories of their adventures in Equestria.

"Stop playin' me!" said Capper, as he laughed along with the rest of the group, "A sonic rainboom? That's not a real thang! Is that a real thing?"

"I'll show ya!" grinned Rainbow Dash, as she was about to fly, but Capper stopped her.

"Naw-naw-naw, I don't need you sonic "rainbooming" up in my place, thank you very much." Suddenly, he saw some thread move with unicorn magic, "Whoa, hey, hold up now. Whoa." the thread went through one of the rips on his sleeve in his jacket and tightened, making it look brand new! Then the source of the magic, Rarity, put two shiny gold buttons on the jacket.

"Here you go, darling, I do apologize. If we were back home, I could've done something truly fabulous."

"Okay..." said Capper, "What's the catch?"

"Nothing." answered Rarity, "After all that you've done for us, consider it a "thank you"."

"Oh. Uh, don't thank me. Really."

"Um, all of you?" Discord interrupted, "I like Capper just as much as the rest of you do, but shouldn't we be going to the Neighborville city to find Twilight?"

"Oh! Oh, Neighborville!" said Capper. "Nobody's talked about that city for years."

"Isn't that the city right outside the window?" asked Pinkie, pointing to the shape of a city outside of a window.

"Objects in windows may be less citious than they appear. Heh heh heh..."

"Well, since it's getting dark out," said Cloudchaser, "we can't go right now. How about tomorrow? Tonight, we stay with this Capper dude."

The rest of the group took Cloudchaser's words into consideration and agreed. For now, they would spend quality time with Capper.
