Brave New World, Discord's Revenge

Ebony and Tom's door opened. They both fled the horror inside. They looked at each other.

"I love you." They said in harmony. They both kissed.

"Never leave me." Tom asked, tears in his eyes.

"Promise upon my soul." Ebony crossed her heart, then through her hoofs around him. They both nuzzled each other. Tears began to roll down their faces.

Aimee flew out of her door. She sat up and spat at the ground, defiantly. She looked around and saw Ebony and Tom. She realised that her friends had not been killed by some creepy shadow monster. She smiled and looked at the other doors. She awaited the others, patiently. She frowned as she saw Owen's door, as there wasn't one there.

She called Ebony and Tom over.

"I don't think he's getting out..." Aimee muttered.

"Oh, God." Ebony replied.

Sam's door fell off it's hinges, he walked forward dripping in blood. He had a crimson stained cricket bat swung over his shoulder. He sat on the grown, panting.

"It's over..." He said. "They are no more. Too many chavs..." He continued to pant.

Jake's door flew off, hitting the opposite wall, furiously. He ran out of the room, swinging a big object wildly. It was certainly making a racket.

"Back! Back you hungry man, you!"

He used it to saw something within the room's arm off. He thrust it blindly sideways, cutting of its head. The decapitated head rolled on the floor. Jake shut the door, and turned off the object, which had turned out to be a chainsaw. He put it over his shoulder and smiled, contentedly.

"Too many Owen's..." He panted.

Everyone looked at the decapitated head, and indeed it was the Professors. Sam felt queasy looking at it and Ebony almost vomited.

They all looked at where the final door had once been. Sam approached it silently, and placed his ear to the wall. To his surprise he heard a mysterious ticking noise. He heard it slowly increase its rhythm, and backed away from it. The wall blew apart, and a silhouette of a pony  wearing a black trench coat, monochrome scarf and a matching top hat stood there. He walked through the hole in the wall and pulled out a shiny, metal object.

Sam stared at it. "Owen, is that a gun?!"

Jake looked at him. "Where'd you a gun from?"

Owen looked at Jake's over sized chainsaw. "Isn't that mine?"

"Touche." Jake scowled. "I found it in your underground secret base!"

Owen gave him a stare. Everyone stopped.

"Secret base?"

"What's he talking about, Owen."

Before Owen could reply, the monstrous figure of Discord returned. He looked angry.

"Well done, ponies.  I see you're..." He trailed off as her saw Sam, Jake and Owen.

"God, you're all violent." He laughed.

"Only us three." Sam replied.

Discord sighed.

"Very well, you may have defeated all your fears, with a little cheating." He added. "So I guess you've defeated me, right?" He gave out a large cackle. "I don't think you realise who you're dealing with." He stood up to his full height.

"I'm Discord, master of chaos and disharmony! And what are you? Pathetic ponies. Nothing compared to me."

"We'll see about that. You may be able to defeat magic simply, but good luck against my technology." The Professor grinned.

Discord harrumphed and disappeared. as he left the house changed back to it's original state. Jake yelled in frustration as the candy on the floors disintegrated.  He screamed as dust slipped through his hooves.

"NOoooooo!" Jake bellowed.

The Professor ran the stairs quickly, ensuring that everything was in its place. He moved the sofa a few inches to the right. Happy with his work, he opened the door.

A huge force hit him and he blacked out.

***

The Professor awoke with a start, his mane was dripping wet and ice cold. He saw blurs around him, crowding him. He might have felt dazed , but he could still see slightly.

"He's waking up, again Dashie." It appeared to be Sam calling.

Before the Professor could react or protest, he was hit with another downpour of freezing water. He sat up, screaming: "COLD COLD COLD Cold cold!" He looked up and saw a cloud above him. His eyesight had appeared to refocus.

He saw all five of his Earth friends around him and the Mane Six too. He smiled, contentedly.

"How was I knocked out?" Owen questioned.

Everyone shuffled slightly.

"What?" Owen asked.

"Rainbow, might have hit you, slightly, with a... um... Sonic Rainboom."

Owen looked at her in shock.

"Why did that happen?"

"Well, we saw the house shape shifting and we tried to rescue you. The only thing strong enough to break through those doors was a Sonic Rainboom."

"You hit me with a Sonic Rainboom?"

Everyone looked at him, sheepishly. They all nodded.

"Sorry." Twilight said.

"Ah, no matter. There is something I wish for you all to see." He got up, walked a few paces before falling over his sofa. He tried to get up, but failed miserably.

"Damn. That hurts..."

Sam and Jake helped him to his feet. He directed him to the door.

"To Twilight's Library..." He moaned in pain.

***

Discord had begun his full assault upon Ponyville:

The day and night was changing every other minute. The roads had been replaced with bright pink carpets and storms of chocolate rain were soaking everyone that dared to go outside. The Professor and his friends battled through the chaos until the eventually reached Twilight's library.

He walked up to the tree, and bent one of the twigs coming out of the large trunk.

The floor opened up, revealing a stairway heading down.

Owen gestured to his friends. They all looked at each other and helped him down the stairs.

Discord looked at them. He laughed, loudly.

"Hiding won't do you any good!"

***

The Professor's secret base

They appeared to be in a hollowed out mine beneath the tree, some of the trees roots were still sticking out of the dirt walls. There were tables down here, littered with blueprints, paper and notebooks. Owen had certainly been busy.

He pointed to another room. This one was much larger and appeared to be some sort of testing room, as bits of machinery and cogs lay on the floor. In the center of the room was a larger object, covered by an even larger tarpaulin.

Owen raised his arms up and Sam and Jake let him go. He moved quickly over to the tarpaulined object. He use his hoofs to reveal what was beneath. Everyone gasped.

"What the buck is that!?" Rainbow yelled.

Everyone looked up at a large zeppelin, only it looked different to the ones that the Earth friends had learned about in their History lessons. It was slightly more rectangular than a normal blimp would have been. But that wasn't it's oddest feature. Instead of having engines or propellers at the back of the ship, the engines were front propelled, at the very tip of the airship. It looked like it had been there a while, as it was rusting slightly.

Owen flicked a switch and light emitted from bulbs attached from the ceiling. The Mane six were having difficulty digesting all this new technology. As it was unheard of in their world. The doubted even Celestia's greatest scientists could create things like this. Huge engine things and small pieces of glass that emit light. It was all too much for poor Rarity, who fainted.

Owen pressed a button and turned a few dials. The great engines of the zeppelin roared to life.

For the first time, someone spoke.

"Professor, what is that? How did you build it here? Where did you get the resources? How did you find the time to build it?" It was Twilight who was asking all these questions.

Owen replied simply "This, my friends, is the Airship Defender. It is a zeppelin. A zeppelin is a station that is filled up with a gas that is lighter than air, usually helium or hydrogen, and this allows it to fly. I built the station while I was here last time."

"But... Where did you get the resources?" Tom questioned.

Owen smiled and pointed to a badly damaged metal ring in the corner of the room. It looked identical to the one that Owen had used a few days before hand to save them all from the end of the Earth. Only this one was broken and in desperate need of repair.

"With the use of resources of two worlds at my fingertips, I could create pretty much anything." He smiled, happily.

He quickly produced a small blueprint. It showed a fairly basic anti-air gun from Earth. Only this one wouldn't shoot bullets. Owen brought forth a rather small gasoline can. On it, it read "Rainbow Factory". He quickly attached the canister onto one of the genuine anti-air guns on the Airship Defender. He pressed a button, turning on the device. He aimed at a target on a wall. He pulled the trigger.

A short burst of rainbow energy shot out of the barrel of the anti-air gun. It hit the target and then engulfed it in flames, slowly melting and burning it. Owen turned off the Anti-air gun. He got down from it and looked at everyone.

"Well? Are you impressed?"

Everyone was staring, open mouthed at the burning target on the wall.

"How is that possible!?" Twilight asked in horror.

"It's quite simplistic, really. You see I discovered if you fire a pure rainbow through a perfectly cut prism, you can create white light, the same way if you fire white light through a prism it creates the spectrum. Only when I tried it the other way around. It was pure white light, capable of  burning and disintegrating anything it touches. Quite useful."

Everything was silent for a while, until finally Twilight spoke again.

"If we can use that to defeat Discord. So be it. If the Elements of Harmony are otherwise engaged. This is our only hope." Twilight looked at the intricate design. When no-one was looking, she teleported the master blueprint upstairs into her library. She rejoined the others.

Owen brought forth another plan of his.

"This was created in case such a problem arised. You see, what I will need is someone to distract Discord while I try to attack him. Rainbow? Can I trust you to do that?"

Rainbow grinned. "Yes, sir!" she saluted him.

"Excellent, Twilight, I need you aboard the Defender, with me. Sam and Jake? Man the anti-air guns!"

Twilight smiled at him, kindly. Jake and Sam yelled, happily and lept on the anti-air guns. Owen flicked another switch, this time huge motors could be heard, grinding and turning at something. The wall in front of the zeppelin opened up slowly, revealing the bright green sky outside. Another one of Discord's ploys.

"The rest of you!" Owen yelled over the noise of the engines. "Distract him as long as you can!" He helped Twilight onto the bridge and into the cockpit. It was rather small and cramped, only big enough for four ponies at the very most.

There was a strange steering wheel in the cockpit with many buttons and dials also. Owen sat in the pilot seat, he flexed his hoofs and pushed a gear forwards. The great engines, propelled him forwards out of the hanger and into the sky. He looked out of the windows, then checked the altitude meter.

"I hope you're ready, Discord. I hope you're ready."
