Bloom and Doom (OLD)
Intermission: Onward to Neighborville! (The Search and Rescue Adventure Part 3)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next day...
"Thank you for giving us a place to stay and for being so nice to us," said Fluttershy.
"It's no problem at all," said Capper modestly.
"Anyways, I think we should all be going to look for our friend Twilight," Rarity turned to the cat. "Darling, want to join us on the search?"
"I don't know who this Twilight is," said Capper, "but I'd be happy to help!"
"Well, onwards to Neighborville!" yelled Discord, and the group was about to leave, when...
"Wait!" shouted Capper, which brought the attention of the group. "You can't—you can't make it by y'allselves. You need an airship! And lucky for you, I can get you a ride."
"Well, some of us can fly and carry others," said Rainbow Dash, "but you've got a point. We can't carry everybody at once. Lead us to the airship!"
"With pleasure! But this is going to be one crazy journey! Jump on the windmill!"
"Well, here goes nothing," said Scootaloo, as she jumped onto one of the windmill blades and gripped onto it.
The rest of the group followed suit except for Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rumble, Thunderlane, Helia, Flitter, and Cloudchaser, who could fly. Suddenly, one of the bolts came loose and the windmill fell off! It began rolling through Klugetown, as the flyers chased after it.
"I think ah'm gonna be sick!" shouted Apple Bloom.
"Me too!" agreed Button Mash.
The ponies on the windmill had luckily landed on their hooves (or feet in Capper, Spike and Discord's case) on top of the building’s nearby roofs as the flyers rejoined them and the windmill chased after them, destroying the wooden getaway path as they just narrowly avoided falling from their crumbling path.
“We have to get there! To the docks! Hurry!” Capper told the rest of the group as they approached said docks ahead in the distance using stairs, doors, and pathways.
Rainbow Dash, using her quick thinking, used her teeth and grabbed ahold of one of the airship ropes for the others to quickly cross onto the airship.
“That's it.” Applejack assuringly nudged Rarity ahead who whimpered in fear of the height. “Don't look down now!” as Discord walked across the rope, Flitter (with Apple Bloom), Cloudchaser (with Sweetie Belle), Thunderlane (with Pipsqueak), Helia (with Button Mash), Rumble and Fluttershy (with Capper) flew across, Scootaloo tried to stay light on her hooves with Spike walking too, Pinkie jumped onto the rope, but she lost her balance and fell off the rope! This caused Spike to nearly fall and Rainbow Dash to lose her grip on the dock and be pulled along with the airship.
“Pinkie!” cried out the rainbow-maned pegasus as she let go of the rope and quickly flew downwards and saved the pink pony's life from the sharp and pointy rocks just in time and flew her up onto the airship.
“Best... escape... plan... ever!” cheered Pinkie.
“WHAT?!?!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash in shock as Applejack quickly lassoed them to the group.
"Well, my dear friends," said Capper, "this is the airship. We need it to cross the river between here and Neighborville." The group looked out of a window and saw a giant river rushing fast. The river led to a waterfall that was so high that if you fell down from there, you would die.
"Knowing Twilight," said Spike, "She probably teleported over the river."
The airship crossed over the river as the group was still looking. Just then, Discord's father appeared out of nowhere!
"Surprise!" yelled the draconequus. The group was shocked. "What? Have you forgotten that I can teleport? I was spying on you all the entire time."
"You again!" growled Rarity, "Fighting is not really my thing. I'm more into fashion. But if you mistreat your son or hurt my friends again, I'll rip you to pieces!"
But the draconequus wasn't fazed at all. "I don't care! I can just use my magic to put myself back together!"
"Dad," said Discord, "please don't hurt my friends!"
"Be quiet, you disgrace of a son!" yelled Discord's father, in which his son fumed at this remark. "And how dare you associate with these ponies?! They're not your friends! They're useless, weak, pathetic, pawns!" He turned to Fluttershy, "Want to know what the most disgusting thing in the world is?"
"Um, rotten milk?" asked Fluttershy.
"Wrong! The answer is YOU!" Discord's father snapped a barrel into the scene, and dropped it on the yellow pegasus, as the barrel shattered on impact, drenching her in garbage.
Fluttershy realized what happened and shuddered, frozen in place.
"Hey, Flutters!" Hoops grinned maniacally. "Your fur could use a nice cleanup."
"What do you mean?" replied Fluttershy.
"Yeah, what do you mean?" Dumbbell asked.
"You know what I mean, you idiot!" snapped Hoops at his friend.
"Oh yeah, I do!" Hoops, Dumbbell, and Score grinned at Fluttershy viciously.
"Your fur needs cleanup because it's...GARBAGE!" And with that, Hoops kicked Fluttershy into a trash can. The trash can wobbled for a few seconds, then it toppled over...
Fluttershy couldn't handle her flashback anymore and sobbed.
"Yeah, that's right! Cry like a baby! A little baby!" yelled Discord's father.
But everyone had seen everything. Discord growled and began to walk.
"Get him," muttered Flitter.
Discord's father continued to laugh at the misfortune of Fluttershy, until something grabbed his neck. He opened his eyes and saw his son.
"And what do you think you're doing?" demanded Discord.
For the first time in his life ever, his father was nervous. "U-um, it was just a harmless joke!"
"A HARMLESS JOKE?! That was neither harmless nor a joke at all! That was bullying! She was severely traumatized by something like that in her childhood! She suffered bullying at flight camp, and only several ponies, like Rainbow Dash, Derpy, Flitter, and Cloudchaser stood up for her! Everybody else in flight camp, even the teachers, were mean to her!"
"Who cares about her?" scoffed his father, though there was a bit of nervousness in his voice, "she was a wimp, a weakling, a useless old pegasus who screamed and flew like a coward everytime she saw her own shado-."
Now Discord was really angry at his father for insulting Fluttershy. "I CARE ABOUT HER!" He pointed to the group, "THEY CARE ABOUT HER!" He turned back to his father, "YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE DRACONEQUUS RACE AND TO EQUESTRIA AND TO THE ENTIRE WORLD! YOU ARE AN ABUSIVE, SELFISH, HEARTLESS, BOSSY FATHER WHO ABANDONED HIS SON AND LEFT HIM TO SUFFER FOR MANY YEARS! OH WAIT, WHY AM I CALLING YOU MY FATHER? I LITERALLY JUST SAID THAT YOU ABANDONED ME AND LEFT ME TO SUFFER! YOU HAVE CAUSED NOTHING BUT TROUBLE TO THIS PLACE, AND YOU HAVE ATTACKED FLUTTERSHY, MY FIRST EVER FRIEND, AND A KIND AND INNOCENT ONE TOO! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU NEAR HER OR MY OTHER FRIENDS EVER AGAIN, AND IF YOU EVEN THINK OF HARMING THEM, I WILL GO TO THE EXTREME LENGTHS AND STEAL ALL YOUR CHAOS MAGIC! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, MY SO-CALLED FATHER? BECAUSE IF YOU HURT FLUTTERSHY, OR ANY OF MY FRIENDS EVER AGAIN, SO HELP ME I WILL VIOLATE MY OWN PRINCIPLES JUST TO SEE THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!"
Discord's father opened a window and screamed like a little girl as he flew off and over the horizon. "AND DON'T COME BACK!" shouted his son.
"Ah never knew Discord could get this mad," said Applejack.
"Me neither," agreed Helia.
"Well, can't really blame him," said Cloudchaser.
The group turned and saw Fluttershy, still crying, shaking, and covered in garbage, and Discord, who was breathing heavily to calm himself down, after his long rant to his father.
"I can't believe my father," muttered the draconequus, as he snapped all the garbage off Fluttershy, though she still reeked. "Don't worry Flutters, it's okay. I'll look for a shower to get the smell off of you."
"...Thank you, Discord," murmured the yellow pegasus, though she was still shaking and crying a bit.
1 HOUR LATER
"Is it mah turn yet?" asked Apple Bloom.
"No," said Applejack to her sister. The orange earth pony was looking out at the window to see if they've flown over Neighborville yet.
"Aaaw..." groaned the yellow foal in disappointment.
"Now, ah said no!"
Just then, there was a loud crashing sound.
"Oh my," said Fluttershy, who had just been cleaned, "Another airship crashed into ours!"
She was right. Their airship was jammed on the side by another airship, which was gray in color. Just then, some creatures jumped onto the top of the group's airship and opened a trapdoor that led to the inside.
"What are you?" asked Capper to the creatures. Just then, they grabbed the group except the Mane 5, Spike, Flitter, and Cloudchaser.
"Sorry," said one of the creatures, "Storm King's orders. He wants the Elements dead and everypony else to be captured."
Soon, the creatures had the rest of the group inside the gray airship. They saw the group's airship come loose and fall off.
"We got them, boss. And the Elements are dead."
"Good job!" shouted a yeti-like creature happily. He had black armor.
"Why are we here?! What is going on? What do you want with us?" growled Rumble.
"We're going to conquer Equestria!" smiled the Storm King evilly. "But I need some more helpers on my Storm Army. As the old saying goes, the more help, the better."
"You won't get away with this!" shouted Thunderlane.
"Oh yes, I will." the yeti-like creature gave out an evil laugh.
