As Fluttershy, Discord, and Tempest were leaving, they were stopped by Applejack and Rarity.

"Wait! Fluttershy, Darling, wait!"

"Huh? What is it Rarity?"

"I'm just here to say... Thank you once again for saving Applejack..."

"Yeah, thanks fer savin' me and mah family!", Applejack said. "Though ah must ask... Where's Rainbow Dash?"

"Oh... Umm, we were going to save her next..."

"Any idea where she could be?", Tempest asked.

"Hmm... That's a good question..."

"Ah think maybe Cloudsdale? Ah remember when ah was possessed, ah overheard that varmint inside Rainbow's body talking about some "city of clouds"... Maybe he was talking about it!"

"Wait... *Gasp!*, Mom and Dad are still in Cloudsdale! Oh no, no, no!", Fluttershy said in a panic.

"Well ladies, what are we waiting for? My friends' parents need our help!", Discord said. "Let's go already!"

"Yeah, no time to waste! We must go at once!", Tempest proclaimed.

"Well, good luck out there... I still need to help my sister.", Rarity said.

"And ah got to take care of mah family too."

"Alright, you two be careful...! Let's go, Mom and Dad, i'm coming!"

"Bye, darling! Good luck saving your parents!"

"Yeah, and kick that varmint out of Rainbow's body fer me, kay?"

The trio quickly exited Discord's house back to Sweet Apple Acres, and headed towards Cloudsdale...

As the trio stood upon a hill, they gazed upon what became of the city of clouds. The once white clouds that formed it had become a dark gray, like smoke. The rainbow waterfalls that rained down from the city were replaced with molten magma, and it seemed various pegasus demons were flying around the area, seemingly guarding the place.

"Wow, and you ponies thought my chocolate milk rain was bad... At least it was mostly harmless!"

"So. What's our strategy here?", Tempest asked.

"I... I don't know... I just know we need to be quick to save Mom and Dad!", Fluttershy said, starting to panic.

"Hey, hey, calm down, Flutters...", Discord said. "Now, we're going to save your dear parents, but we need to figure out how to reach that place first."

"You can teleport.", Tempest said. "Just teleport us up there, easy!"

"But only Pegasi can walk on clouds!", Fluttershy said.

"Really? That's kind of stupid..."

"Although there was a cloud-walking spell... But i don't think anypony here can cast it..."

"*Ahem*...", Discord said.

"Oh... Sorry, hehe...", Fluttershy said, meekly.

Discord snapped his fingers at Tempest. "There, you should now be able to walk on clouds."

"I don't feel any different."

"Then that means it worked without any side effects. Now, is everypony ready?"

The two ponies just nodded.

"Then hold on to me. And make sure to not release me until we arrive at our destination!"

The two ponies hugged the Draconequus, before he snapped his fingers, and they teleported to the city in the sky.

As the trio arrived, they immediately took note of the scenary. There were cracks on the ground, from which the bright, orange glow of lava could be seen. The entire place had the distinct smell of smoke, and there were demons and possessed ponies everywhere.

"My... My goodness! This is awful!"

"They really did quite a number on this place, haven't they?"

"Pay attention you two!", Tempest said. "We've got some company..."

They noticed several demons and possessed ponies walking towards them, ready to attack. Some demons were even coming out of the cracks. These ones being made of magma.

"Alright, let's get nuts!", Discord said, taking out his whip.

"Y-you better stay back! We're not scared of you!", Fluttershy said, getting her Crossbow ready.

"I will not hesitate to blast you things. This is your only warning!", Tempest said, pumping the shotgun.

The demons ignored and started charging at them.

"It's on then!"

The trio immediately charged towards the demons as well, blasting, shooting, and whipping at them. Tempest managed to blast many Dracodemons out of the sky, while Fluttershy aimed for the Cubi flying around. Discord was primarily taking the demons on through melee attacks, like punches and wrestling moves, or using his whip, and other weapons he summoned, like swords, baseball bats, and at one point a chainsaw. They continued battling and battling, freeing many possessed ponies, and saving some that were captured in houses and such.

Eventually, they reached the house of Fluttershy's parents. The place was mostly intact on the outside, save a few broken windows, and the door being wide open. Entering the house, Fluttershy immediately started looking for her parents.

"Mom? Dad? Where are you?!"

"Fluttershy, calm down! There could be a trap in here!", Tempest said.

Fluttershy heard muffled noises coming from one of the rooms. Her brother's room. Upon entering, she saw her brother on his bed, gagged, and wrapped in chains.

"Zephyr! You're alright! Where's Mom and Dad?"

"Mmmph?! Mmmph mmmph!"

"Uh, Fluttershy? He probably isn't going to speak anytime soon... Not with that tape in his mouth anyway...", Discord said.

"Oh, you're right!", she said, before carefully removing the tape from Zephyr's mouth.

"Sis! You're ok! What's up with these clothes tho?"

"It's uh... A long story...", she said. "A-anyway, where's Mom and Dad?"

"I don't know! Like, those things took them away, and like, Rainbow Dash showed up, but she was like, a monster??? And her voice was like, all screwed up and stuff! She and those things put me here, and then left!"

"Any idea where they could've gone to?", Tempest asked.

"No idea, ma'am... Although, im pretty sure that weird Rainbow Dash monster said that they were going to the "headquarters"... Whatever THAT means..."

"Headquarters...? *Gasp*, i got it! The Wonderbolt's Headquarters!", Fluttershy exclaimed after thinking for a moment.

"Well, we have our next destination then.", Tempest said.

"Alright, let me snap those filthy chains away, and you can go into my house.", Discord said, snapping his fingers to remove the chains. He then opened the doors to his house, and let Zephyr in.

"Should i kick him in the ass, since the fandom hates him...?", Discord thought. "Nah, that would go against my whole character arc right now."

After closing the doors to his house, Discord, Fluttershy, and Tempest headed out to the Wonderbolt's Headquarters.

After arriving, and making their way through various possessed ponies and demons, they managed to reach the doors. Once opening them, they were slightly surprised.

The inside of the headquarters was normal. It seemed Zebos, the archdemon possessing Rainbow Dash, didn't use his powers in here.

"Huh, well this is certainly different."

Upon entering, a large, black mass emerged from the ground, and two pairs of eyes appeared on each side, followed by a large mouth.

"Oh no...", Tempest said.

"What is it, Tempest? Are you seriously scared of that thing?"

"I've seen what that thing can do! We better get ready!"

"Wait, what? What does it-", before Discord could finish, several demons started coming out of the amorphous beast's mouth. Mostly Shadow Ponies, but a few Horrors and Dracodemons showed up as well.

"Oh. That's what it does."

The trio fought their way through the demons, blasting, shooting, and whipping, with the occasional melee attacks from Discord. They eventually reached the portal-like demon, and Discord summoned a bomb which he lit, and threw at the portal demon's mouth, stunning it when it exploded inside it. Fluttershy and Tempest shot at it, and eventually eventually defeated it.

"*Phew*..."

"Well, that certainly was quite horrible..."

"Alright, let's move on..."

The trio turned the corner, and were immediately met with another portal demon.

"OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!"

Two more portal demon encounters later...

"That was the second worst experience of my life.", Tempest said, pissed off by the encounters.

"I agree, that was pretty bad..."

"I've had worse, but i do in fact agree, this sucked."

The trio eventually reached the changing room of the place, and were met with several seemingly unconscious ponies sprawled on the floor. Among them, were Fluttershy's parents.

"MOM! DAD!"

Fluttershy pressed her hoof against her parent's necks. Luckily, they were still alive, they did however have circle shaped scars on their chests.

"*Phew*... Discord, could you help me bring my parents to your home?"

"Why certainly!", Discord said, opening the doors to his house. Then, Fluttershy, Tempest, Discord, and a few of the ponies inside brought the unconscious ponies inside. Some of them included the Wonderbolts themselves, Scootaloo, and Rainbow Dash's parents, all with the same circular scars on their chests.

After everypony was safe, Discord closed the doors to his house, and the trio moved on to the office of the Wonderbolt's general. When they opened it, they did not find the office, but instead, an arena.

"What... Is this?", Fluttershy asked, when suddenly the door closed behind them and disappeared.

"Well, well, welllllll... Look who decided to show uppppppp..."

Then, Rainbow Dash still possessed, by Zebos, seemingly teleported to the center of the arena, as the lights of torches lit up.

"I've been expecting you threeee... The ones who killed Joroth and Amoronzonnnnnnn..."
