Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter and those things da 'umies ride
'Allies' of Convenience
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"What even are they?" Celestia asked, walking over to the Ork statues. "I've never seen or heard of anything like them."
"It called itself a 'Ork', whatever that is." Twilight answered, still recovering from the magical healing.
"They sure are quick though..." Rainbow Dash added, rubbing her wing with a hoof.
"And strong." Luna walked back over to the group. "Would you please introduce us, sister?"
"Oh, sorry everypony. This is my sister, Princess Luna."
"Sister?"The assembled group of ponies gasped.
"Yes, I am her sister..." Luna whispered, a look of regret coming to her face. "And we regret our past actions against her."
"It's alright Luna, you weren't yourself." Celestia placed a wing protectively over the smaller alicorns back.
"Still, we can't help but feel that we were responsible for thou's actions..."
"We can talk this over, as well as the matter of the statues, once we are back in Canterlot."
A glow engulfed the group and the statues as they were teleported away to Canterlot.
==================================================================
"Dis day just got a 'ole lot worse..." Gorgutz said, anger evident his his voice. "Trapped like un of dem Spiky Pointy Ears slaves. Least I can still see da enemy..."
The statue was not a comfortable place to be trapped in. You couldn't hear anything, no one could hear you speak, but at least you could watch what went on around your statue.
"I need a plan. And it betta be a good un..."
=====================================
Discord was bored.
Very bored.
So bored he almost went sane.
Celestia was very good at keeping Equestria under a iron hoof, he had to admit. It had been a thousand years since his last chance to escape, and Luna's banishment and the order that followed had foiled that attempt.
He sighed, there had been quite a lot of chaos earlier in the day, but it had been too far away for him to amplify so he could free himself.
He could smell the faint wisps of magic that were left over after the Elements had been used, Nightmare Moon had been turned back into Luna then.
Great.
Another chance gone.
Still, somepony would slip.
Then he'd have his revenge.
Or maybe he'd just go on holiday.
He heard the sound of ponies carrying something very heavy, judging by the amount of groaning going on, and soon enough a group of eight ponies carrying two large statues entered the gardens.
What have we here?
The statues had that distinctive white marble covering that just stank of a harmonised creature.
New allies, looking for revenge like myself?
Or just some ornaments that Celestia commissioned to taunt me? I wouldn't put it past her.
He sent a simple message to the statue across from him, praying to the Prince of Madness that there was a reply.
============================================================
"Hello."
"Huh, wot?" Gorgutz looked around in confusion, there were no chaos boyz around here.
"Oh, please don't shout, it offends my ears. They are very sensitive."
"Shut yer yap an talk."
"That's what I'm doing right now, isn't it? Anyway, you seem to be a very... Shall we say intresting creature? We could help each other."
"And how'z dat gonna work? I'z trapped in dis ere thing since dat fancy lightshow 'll just stick me back in ere."
"And that's where I help. You can escape easily enough, and then free me. From there, you go steal the Elements, and do whatever you want while I go take over Equestria. The voice yawned.
"Dat... Dat's a good plan. I'z suprised I didn't come up wiz it."
"Oh, just escape, barbarian. And who are you, it never hurts to know who your allies are."
"I'z Warlord Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter, and iz 'elp ya as long as I get da Big Squig eadz."
The voice paused for a second, thinking. "Yes, you can take the head of anypony you wish. Just leave some alive for me?"
"An who iz you?"
"I am Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony...."
"Great, more chaos boyz...Dis ain't gonna end well."
"What was that?"
"Nothin."
Gorgutz sighed inside the statue, and extended his power klaw's talons, shattering the stone with ease. Cracks began to form across the statues body, before in exploded in a shower of rock.
"It'z good to be outta dere." Gorgutz stretched his arms out. It was about midday, by the Ork's judgement, which ment there'd be plenty of Squigs to kill.
Gorgutz saw Ucky's statue next to him, and not being that keen on leaving without his sidekick, smashed the statue into the ground.
A slightly dazed Ucky got to his feet, holding his choppa and slugga.
"Thanks Boss."
"I ain't gonna leave without anovva Ork, am I?"
"If you could please get me out of here?"
"Fine, Dischord."
Gorgutz rammed into the pedestal which Discord's statue stood on, knocking the statue to the ground and shattering it.
Discord stood, dusted himself off.
"Many thanks. The fancy lightshow things are through that door-" Discord pointed to a small door in the Castle's outer wall. "-to the left, up a staircase to the top floor. From there go left, walk to the third door in that corridor. Not the first or second if you wish to avoid Celestia's throne room and the way to her chambers.
You'll come to a long hallway overlooking these gardens. Go to the end of it, I'll open the doors for you. The fancy lightshow causes will be in a large box. Take whichever ones you want."
Discord vanished a sprinkle of chocolate dusting, leaving the Orks alone.
"Well, let's get goin !" Gorgutz shouted as he led Ucky into the castle.
The two Orks followed Discord's instructions to the letter, silently (for a ork, at least) killing any guards they encountered on their way.
The two found themselves standing in front of the doors, open like Discord had said.
Gorgutz walked up to the box, which was unlocked, and flipped open the lid. He scanned through the 'Elements', as Discord had called them, looking to see if any were 'Orky' enough.
He picked the first one up, a pink thing, and tossed it behind him. "Nope."
The next was a purple diamond, which he clamped around his neck. "Yep."
The third was a orange tomato thing. "Nope." He threw that one out the window with a loud smash.
The fourth was a wierd blue thing, which he just ignored.
The fifth was by far the best. A red lightning bolt. Everyone new that 'da red wunz go fastah' so Gorgutz clamped it around his neck along with the diamond.
The last one was some wierd crown thing, so he slammed it onto Ucky's head.
"Thanks Boss." Ucky muttered, the crown thing was slightly too small for his head so it pinched.
"An now, we run."
The sound of seven familiar voices echoed down the hallway from the open door.
The six Elements and Celestia stopped as Fluttershy knelt down to pick up her Element.
"Why... Why is... Oh." Fluttershy looked up, a suprised expression appearing on her face as she saw the two Orks.
"Ello, Squigs." Gorgutz shouted at them, waving with his power klaw, "Ucky, out da window!"
Gorgutz charged towards one of the hallway's many stained-glass windows, smashing though it with ease with Ucky following close behind.
They forgot they were on the third story.
