Chaotic Love

Chaotic Love

Chapter XV – The Power of Chaos.

“Princess what’s going on?”

“What the hell is that?!”

“Mummy…I’m scared!”

The town had quickly rushed to Celestia demanding an explanation out of concern and terror upon what was happening in the forest, Princess Celestia sighed and decided it was finally time to tell them.

“It’s Discord…” She started.

“WHAT HE ESCAPED?!” One person cried out.

“But how?!” Another said.

“Please…I’ll tell you everything."

Celestia took a deep breath and then started to speak again, telling the townsfolk about her plan to reform Discord, how he was actually Silver Tongue the whole time and how the ring worked and what he had transformed into. The looks on the faces of the townsfolk ranged from surprise to anger to fear.

“HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!” One yelled out.

“Please my subjects calm down-“

“HOW CAN WE BE CALM?! DISCORD IS FREE!” Someone interrupted her.

“THAT FILTHY MONSTER WILL KILL US ALL!” Another yelled.

“WE SHOULD HUNT HIM DOWN!” Someone else yelled.

They all began to shout accusations at her becoming angrier; they were interrupted by a sudden outburst from Pinkie Pie, silencing them.

“ENOUGH! How dare you insult my friend Discy! He’s a calm and gentle person now and there HAS to be a reason for his sudden rage!”

“Yeah, you start on him and ya’ll have to go through me!” Applejack added.

They began to shout again before a whistle interrupted them for a second time, they looked to see it was Red Bartlett in the crowd.

“I have to admit.” He started. “Even though Silver was Discord, he was actually a cool guy. And I agree with the Elements.”

He walked forwards and stood next to Applejack before continuing.

“If you want to hurt my FRIEND Discord, you’ll have to go through me to.”

The crowd shouted again in out roar only to be interrupted for a third time by the arrival of Shining Armour and several heavily armed Solar and Luna guards.

“Princess we saw the commotion all the way in Canterlot and got here as fast as we could, what in Equestria is going on?” He asked.

“It’s Discord; something has triggered him to go into a rage like state, something at the old castle.”

Shining Armours eyes went wide before he growled looking to the forest.

“I knew this plan was a stupid one…” He muttered under his breath. “Orders Princess?”

You will all accompany me and my sister to the castle and try to calm Discord, Lieutenant Tail Claw, you and a small group remain here in case anything else happens.

“Ma’am.” Tail Claw saluted.

“Twilight, go get the Elements, we may need them.” Twilight nodded and went to get them from her home, Celestia sighed looking towards the forest. “And pray we don’t need them.”

Discord swung his tail once more, slamming into the changeling soldiers that had tried to rush him from the side, they cried out in pain as their armour shattered upon impact and their bodies slammed into the trees and carried on, a sickening crunch following as their bones shattered. In a matter of minutes Discord had destroyed half of the soldiers Chrysalis had brought with her, they lay either unconscious or dead. He growled before launching himself forwards at the charging wave of soldiers, swinging his arms and smacking them away, his target being Chrysalis.

Chrysalis gritted her teeth as her horn glowed and armour formed around her, her sword began to crackle with green lightning as she raised it up ready. Alongside of her was five of her personal guard ready to fight to the death. Just as she was about to charge, a large group of soldiers suddenly launched themselves at Discord landing on him and successfully forcing him to the ground in surprise, one of them turned his head to look at her.

“RUN YOUR HIGHNESS, WE’LL HOLD HIM OFF!” He shouted.

Chrysalis was about to object when she was grabbed by one of the guard who began to lead her away, as they turned to leave Discord let out a loud roar and the soldiers on him were sent flying crying out as they slammed into the ground. Discord roared and charged Chrysalis and swung his hand at her, she jumped up out of the way but her guard were caught in the swing, she watched in anger as Discord clenched his fist around them hearing their cries end suddenly as he snapped their spines and tossed the bodies aside like rag dolls. She landed and growled at him, Discord snarled as the two watched each other waiting for the other to make the first move.

“One way or another Discord, I will crush you and claim your power!” She shouted.

He roared back and charged her again; she focused her magic and shot a large beam at him. It connected with him and threw Discord back out of the ruined castle and into the trees levelling them. She brought her sword up cautiously as the dust and smoke filled the air, there was a sudden roar and a blast wave shot through the smoke parting it sending earth and rubble into the air as it shot across the ground. Before she could react it smacked her directly sending the Queen backwards at speed, smashing through some of the remaining wall and out into the forest. She bounced on the ground several times each bounce causing a small crater and sending earth into the air, she came to a stop and groaned getting to her feet, spitting out the blood from her mouth.

She quickly brought her sword up ready for the next attack and looked back at the castle; some soldiers soon joined her and formed a circle around her waiting. The silence was disturbing to them, as they scanned the area there was a rumble that came from the ground, as they looked down the ground just in front of the Queen began to crumble.

“LOOK OUT!” A soldier cried.

He threw himself at Chrysalis knocking her out of the way just as the ground gave way and Discord shot upwards, taking the soldier into his mouth and clamping down. He cried out as the fangs tore through his armour and into his skin, Discord hovered in the air snarling down at the group and violently shook his head, ripping the body in half and dropping the half in his mouth. Chrysalis watched gritting her teeth in anger as the two halves fell to the ground, the organs falling out in pile of blood, he landed on the ground with a rumble and growled at the group, Chrysalis raised her sword up pointing it directly at him.

“You’ll pay for that Discord!”

Discord let out a deep and dark chuckle that rumbled from his chest, it sent shivers down the spines of the surviving soldiers that had rallied to the Queen again.

“I’M GOING TO ENJOY RIPPING YOUR MIND APART BUG…IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.”

Chrysalis snarled as he spoke, she knew they were outmatched with his power. She could have a chance against him she reckoned if she used the full extent of her power but that would attract attention from the Princess, more so than she imagined already with his transformation. They were a good few hours from the borders of the forest as well were the rest of her army was waiting, if she could somehow get a message to them if they weren’t already coming, and then maybe she could defeat him.

“Captain, fall back to the main camp and regroup.” Chrysalis suddenly aid.

“My lady?” The captain replied.

“I’ll hold him off; he’s too powerful for you.”

“But your majesty-“

“That’s an order!” Chrysalis barked.

The captain looked down and then to the other soldiers, they nodded to him and he looked back to the Queen
“I’m sorry…your highness, we’ll hold him off it’s our duty.” He reluctantly replied.

Before she could answer the soldiers launched into the air using their wings for speed and charged at Discord, beams of magic shooting from their horns as they came closer and closer. Chrysalis tried to stop them by pulling them back with her magic, but it was too late.

“NO YOU FOOLS!”

Discord rose up onto his back and arched his head before bringing his arms down hard followed by his head shooting out another blast of energy that exploded, blasting the nearby trees apart as the soldiers cried out in pain before being silenced as some were disintegrated from the raw energy, a large pillar of white light illuminating the forest.

The group stopped as the large white blast filled the skies, their eyes wide. They were close to what was left of the castle when they saw the blast, Celestia gritted her teeth.

“He’s losing control…we need to hurry!” She shouted.

She took off followed closely by the remaining elements, her sister, Shining Armour and several guards and along the way they had caught up with Rainbow Dash who had fled back to the town after the castle exploded. Celestia was beginning to worry, if Discord fully lost control then the girls would have no choice but to turn him to stone again to subdue him, she prayed Fluttershy had gotten out of the castle and was hiding safely. She had difficulty trying to hone in on her energy, it kept disappearing and reappearing every so often.

As they came closer and closer to the remains of the castle they began to see the bodies of Changelings everywhere, some missing limbs and others missing either their top or lower halves. The girls became slightly disturbed at the sight of the dead, Rarity bending over and vomited when one of the guards gently moved a body only for the internal organs to fall out with a splat into the ground.

“Changelings…what are they doing here?” Luna asked looking around.

“My guess, another plot at a takeover” Shining replied.

“Princess.” Twilight said realising something. “I think I know what they want-“

“I NEED A MEDIC!” A voice shouted interrupting her.

The group ran to where the voice came from and found a Luna guard gently holding Fluttershy’s body, the girls gasped as Celestia and Luna rushed past them and to Fluttershy.

“Her wound isn’t too deep, she’s unconscious most likely from shock but she’ll be ok.” The guard said as Luna began using her magic to heal the wound.

“I think I know what set him off…” Twilight whispered.

There was another roar that came from behind them, Celestia looked to Fluttershy and then to the girls.

“Captain, you and the girls stay here and make sure Fluttershy is alright as well and be ready with the elements just in case. Luna, we’ll go and deal with Discord and try to calm him down and-“

“Uhm Princess are you sure that’s wise?” Rarity interrupted. “If Discord is angry at you still for his past then surely in his rage like state seeing you would make it worse.”

“She’s right sister, I think you should stay here and the Elements and myself will deal with trying to calm Discord.”
Celestia wanted to argue but it was a valid point, she sighed and nodded before taking over Luna and using her magic to continue healing Fluttershy. Luna turned to the girls and nodded.

“Let’s go.”

They all headed out of the castle leaving Celestia, Shining and the guards behind who were a bit anxious about it wanting to assist Luna. Celestia watched them leave before returning her attention to Fluttershy again.

“I hope they can calm him down…I don’t know what this will do to Fluttershy if they can’t…”

Chrysalis roared out in anger, she was the only one left now. Her advanced guard and personal guard dead and reinforcements were coming but wouldn’t arrive in time. She cursed under her breath. Discord lunged for her pushing himself off the ground; she dodged him and brought her sword round slicing into his side as he shot past. He roared out in pain as blood leaked form the wound, she smirked spinning on the spot and firing a powerful blast of magic at him.

It caught Discord off guard and it propelled him backwards through the trees demolishing them, she charged after her wings appearing and let out a cry, her horn shooting beam after beam at him. Discord roared in pain as the beams met their target and launched into the air narrowly missing her blade once more, he quickly spun mid-air looking down and roared loudly blasting a large blue fireball at Chrysalis.

It exploded as it came into contact with the ground causing the area to be illuminated once more and trees were sent flying being incinerated before they fell, Discord growled and waited for any sign of movement. Suddenly Chrysalis burst from the smoke her horn launching a large ball of magic at him; he swung his tail and changed its direction away from him, it exploding nearby harmlessly.

Chrysalis kept coming at him in speed her fist glowing a dark green and clenched as she struck him in the jaw with it, knocking his head backwards sharply. As his head arched back she let out a scream as a second head shot morphed from his body and grabbing her around the waist with its mouth crushing her, she gasped for air and cried out again as the fangs crunched down on her and her body went limp. The second head reared up and threw her to the floor where it slammed into the ground causing a small crater, Discord looked down with a smirk on his face but growled when Chrysalis slowly got up her arms and head hanging, she cracked her neck as her body glowed green and she looked up at him with a smirk as her wounds stopped bleeding.

“You’re not the only one with powerful magic Discord!”

Discord let out a roar and the second head retracted itself, he began to lightly shake as his body glowed a dark red. As his body glowed Luna and the others arrived shocked at the scene.

“We should help him!” Pinkie cried.

“No we can’t, not yet.” Luna replied.

“But why not?” Rainbow asked.

“In this state he doesn’t know who is friend or foe, he will most likely attack us even if we do help him with Chrysalis.”

They looked back to Discord with worried expressions as he snarled softly as visible red energy began to envelop around him.

“What’s he doing though Princess?” Applejack asked.

“No…he can’t be.” Luna whispered.

Twilight’s eyes went wide I realisation, she was taught this a while ago but not by Celestia, it was something she had learned from Discord.

“That’s raw magic…” She said.

Chrysalis was more than aware of the arrival of the Elements and Luna, she could feel their aura but she was focusing more on the energy Discord had in his mouth.

‘How do you plan to use that raw magic? No one on Equestria can.’ She thought to herself with a smirk.

Suddenly, the energy warped itself into Discord’s mouth where it changed colour to blue and he arched his head as his cheeks bulged. Chrysalis’s yes widened in shock before she smirked again.

‘That’s how…’ She thought to herself.

Her horn glowed as she closed her eyes and summoned as much magic as she possibly could and created a shield around her.

“GIRLS WATCH OUT!” Luna cried casting a shield over.

As they did Discord’s head thrashed and bent over looking at the ground, he opened his mouth as a ring of energy formed around his mouth and a ball of brilliant blue energy blasted from his mouth, the sound echoing like a cannon going off. The ball of energy screamed as it speed towards the ground; Luna closed her eyes and braced herself.

Fluttershy murmured as she slowly opened her eyes, Celestia gasped and smiled and gently hugged her.

“Welcome back Fluttershy.” She said

Fluttershy’s eyes shot open as she came to her senses, she shot up and looked around at the ruined castle in a panic.

“Where’s Discord?!” She asked.

Celestia frowned and looked to where Luna and the others had gone, seeing Discord in the air looking down. Her eyes widened seeing the magic forming in his mouth and instantly shielded her and the others.

“GET DOWN!” She shouted.

Shining Armour and the other guards dropped to the floor as Discord blasted the ball of magic from his mouth.

The explosion was deafening, the residents of Ponyville screamed and fell to the floor as the sound rang throughout the town and the ground violently shook, trees near the impact zone were uprooted and blasted away being sent flying in all directions at great speed some disintegrating on impact. The brilliant blue light illuminated the entire forest effectively turning the night sky in today, the sheer brightness temporarily blinding anyone who was unfortunate enough to look.

As the shaking began to stop and the smoke and fire filled the sky, Luna opened her eyes panting heavily, her shield barely standing. She cast over to where the blast hit and her eyes went wide, the girls all looked over as well and they followed suit.

All that remained of the area where the blast had struck was a crater almost half a mile deep, all of the trees nearby had gone and the land was scorched, dotted with individual small fires. Chrysalis lay in the centre of the crater, her shield gone just barely protecting her and her armour had broken, she lay in a heap as smoke lightly rose form her. Luna couldn’t tell if she was dead or simply unconscious, all she knew was she need to get Discord under control.

She heard Discord roar out loudly as he landed on the ground in the crater, snarling at her body and began to slowly advance on it.

“IT’S…OVER…YOUR MIND BELONGS TO ME!” He roared.

Luna darted out and blasted his side with a powerful beam of magic sending Discord flying into the side of the crater.

“Discord stop! It’s over you don’t need to do this, please calm down!” She cried.

“NOT UNTILL SHE PAYS IN BLOOD FOR MURDERING MY LOVE!” He roared back.

“Fluttershy is alive Discord, she’s with my sister and-“

“LIAR!”

Luna was dragged into the sky by Rainbow as Discord suddenly pushed off the ground towards where she was once standing and slammed into the ground missing her by inches, Rainbow shot up as fast as she could and landed the Princess down gently.

“You’re in no condition to fight Princess, let us handle it.” Twilight said.

“No you aren’t powerful enough!” Luna protested.

“And your too weak at the moment from defending us from that blast, please Princess…trust us.”

Luna looked at them for a moment before letting out a sigh.

“Very well…but you are to follow my plan, Twilight and Rainbow Dash, you two distract Discord long enough for me to charge a spell that can temporarily trap him. I need time to focus it due to his size, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, while he is distracted I want you to move Chrysalis, she doesn’t deserve to be killed in the way he plans to but she will be brought to justice now go!”

The girls nodded and took off heading to Discord who was advancing once more on the body of Chrysalis.

‘Please hurry Tia…before it’s too late…’

Celestia slowly opened her eyes feeling the shaking come to a stop; she looked over to see Discord flying downwards into a large plume of smoke. The worst came to her mind and she shook her head in disbelief.

“No…please…don’t say that-“She stopped mid-sentence feeling Luna and the other Elements energies and let out a sigh of relief. “Thank the ancestors…Fluttershy are you all right?”

She turned back to see Fluttershy was gone; quickly she scanned the area trying to find her only to see her running to where the fighting was.

“FLUTTERSHY NO IT’S DANGEROUS!” Celestia cried.

Shining Armour groaned as he and the other guards finally got up rubbing their heads and looking around.
“Princess?” He asked.

Celestia started to run after Fluttershy looking back over her shoulder at him.

“Hurry Captain!”

Shining and the guards nodded and took off after her; Celestia closed her eyes and concentrated.

‘Sister, we’re coming and so is Fluttershy.’

“Rainbow watch out!” Twilight cried.

Rainbow narrowly avoided a swipe from Discords claws as she swung low and under him before shooting back up. Just as he was about to destroy the body of the Queen, Rainbow Dash had swooped in at great speed and slammed her fists into his cheek sending him flying, only for him to bring his claw at her suddenly which she just missed.

He roared and chased after her taking off from the ground, at this point Pinkie and Applejack ran over to Chrysalis’s body and she checked her pulse, it was faint. Carefully, the two picked her up and began to make their way out of the crater with Twilight behind them keeping her eye on Discord.

Rainbow veered to the left quickly as a blast of blue fire screamed past her and exploded, she let out a yelp and closed her wings suddenly dropping as another ball of fire exploded directly in front of her. She cast her eyes over her shoulder to see Discord right behind her snarling.

‘Wait for it…wait for it…’

She thought to herself as she came closer and closer to the ground, dodging another fire blast that exploded on the ground sending more trees and earth into the air.

‘Wait for it…wait for it… NOW!’

She opened her wings just before hitting the ground and took off her body just inches from the ground, her smaller size and agility preventing her from slamming into the ground. Discord however was unable to stop in time, he tried to use his wings to push downwards to slow his speed but it was too late, he crashed into the ground with a roar sending earth into the air as the ground shook. Rainbow looked back with a smirk and hovered by a tree waiting to see what would happen, she quickly shot up as Discord’s claws to snake out from the smoke and swipe at the tree, crushing it in one movement.

Fluttershy panted as she came closer to the battle, she was on the verge of tears after seeing the monster floating in the air she realised it was Discord and she was scared, not for herself but for him. Luna turned her head away from the body of Chrysalis, her healing aura still glowing, to see Fluttershy, having heard Celestia’s voice in her head alerting her to Fluttershy’s arrival. She got up and gently hugged her along with Pinkie and Applejack.

“Fluttershy we’re glad to see you are ok but this is no place for you.” She said.

“Yeah sugarcube…Discord is way more dangerous than he was before.” Applejack added.

“Thank you but with respect you three.” She said in a tone that hinted with determination. “I am an Element of harmony.”
She stepped past her as she continued.

“But more importantly I am the only one who can stop Discord and turn him back…”

Luna went to grab her but hesitated before Applejack gently held her arm stopping her, she looked at the farmer who gave her a reassuring smile before looking to Pinkie who also gave her the same smile. She clenched her outstretched hand and lowered it.

“I know…be careful.” Luna replied.

Fluttershy nodded as Rainbow Dash shot out from the trees followed by Discord closely, just avoiding a fireball and heading back to the crater. Discord roared and a shock wave of energy struck Rainbow Dash and her wings suddenly vanished causing her to rapidly fall to the ground.

“RAINBOW HANG ON!” Twilight cried.

Twilight began charging her magic ready to catch Rainbow when a blur shot past her; she blinked and smiled seeing who it was. Fluttershy raced towards Rainbow Dash’s falling body, her yellow wings beating as fast as they could. She caught Rainbow just before she crashed and arched back to the others and placed Rainbow down.

“Thanks Flutters, that blast interfered with my wings.”

Before anyone could answer, there was a loud crash near them as Discord landed, dust and earth being sent up as Celestia and the guards arrived. He ignored them but stared at Fluttershy snarling, his eyes however were wide with surprise.

“WHAT…WHAT IS THIS TRICKERY?” He roared.

“It is no trick Discord…” Celestia said

She stood behind Fluttershy placing a hand on her shoulder, soon being joined by the others who looked up at him with glares, ready for anything, he merely roared at them brining a hand up and slamming it into the ground.

“THIS IS A TRICK! YOU WERE SLAIN! I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES, THIS HAS TO BE A TRICK…YOU MUST BE A CHANGELING IT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE! HOW DARE YOU VIOLATE MY LOVE BY PRETENDING TO BE HER!”

Discord roared and launched at the group, they began to brace themselves but Fluttershy suddenly ran out from them and to Discord, before they could react she stood there with her arms outstretched and looking up at him with determination.

‘I’m not afraid…I’m not afraid…’ She thought to herself as he came closer.

“I’LL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE INSECT YOU ARE!”

“FLUTTERSHY!” Twilight screamed.

Time slowed down as Twilight, Luna, Celestia and Shining shot beams of magic at her trying to grab her and pull her back. As the beams reached her they suddenly vanished, they looked on in horror as Rainbow prepared to rush to her aide. She stopped though as she watched in surprise, Discord stood mere inches away from Fluttershy his head near hers snarling.

“It’s ok Discord…it’s me…I promise.” Fluttershy said softly.

She slowly moved her hand over his cheek and gently stroked him; he closed his eyes leaning into her hand. Everyone stared completely shocked and surprised but it was not to last as Discord suddenly roared out moving backwards and flailing his body.

“Discord what’s wrong?” Fluttershy asked worriedly.

“CAN’T…CONTROL HIM…MUST…KILL…NO I WON’T!”

He roared and fell onto his side writhing and thrashing about in pain, roaring as his tail lashed out at ground and anything nearby.

“DISCORD!” Fluttershy cried.

Discord looked around, he was in complete and utter darkness, and he walked forwards his footsteps echoing in the vast nothingness that surrounded him. For what seemed like an eternity passed before a growl echoed all around him.

“You fool Discord…why did you hesitate?! She’s a Changeling and they took away your precious love!” Chaos growled.

“SHOW YOURSELF!” Discord roared. “ENOUGH OF YOUR GAMES!”

“Your no fun anymore Discord…your just weak.” Chaos sneered.

Discord growled and snapped his fingers, the darkness suddenly vanished and he was standing in the ruined house of Fluttershy. In front of him was Chaos, surprised that his illusion was dispelled.

“Surprised? I have my powers back.” Discord chuckled.

“And yet…you are under my control…” Chaos chuckled.

“What do you mean?”

“When your precious Fluttershy died, you gave in don’t you remember? You LET me take over our body.”

“No…she’s not dead I heard her speak!” Discord snarled.

“You heard a Changeling speak! And I will not let your petty feelings screw this up for me this time!”

Chaos lunged for Discord but was grabbed and thrown into the wall hard, he hissed as he fell to the floor and got up, and several pieces of furniture levitated in the air and were flung at Discord.

‘DISCORD!’

He heard Fluttershy’s voice and roared out; the furniture disintegrating suddenly, Chaos’s eyes went wide as he backed up, Discord smirked as his body began to glow white as his power increased.

“N-No! How can this be! Y-your power-“

“Is stronger than yours Chaos! You cannot win!” Discord smirked.

“I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE OUR BODY IF IT’S THE LAST THING I-“

Chaos was interrupted as Discord lunged forwards and grabbed him by the throat tightly; Chaos choked and struggled against his grip.

“For too long I have listened to you! You are the reason why this has all happened! AND I AM GOING TO END IT NOW!” He bellowed.

“D-Discord wait, you c-can’t kill me if you k-kill me your killing a p-part of you!” Chaos chocked.

“A part…I won’t be missing…” Discord replied.

Chaos choked one last time as his neck snapped and his body went limp, Discord dropped the body to the floor as the room began to change again. He smiled to himself and closed his eyes as he disappeared.

Everyone watched as Discord roared out once more and a bright light engulfed him, they shielded their eyes as a great wave of energy burst from him the trees shaking as the wind picked up. As the wind settled and the light faded they all opened their eyes and gasped at what they saw. Discord was in his normal form kneeling on the ground as smoke rose from him, he groaned and began to sway and fell to his right but was caught by Fluttershy. He looked up to her murmuring as she smiled down at him, tears in her eyes.

“It’s ok Discord…I’ve got you…” She whispered.

“Fluttershy…I’m sorry…” He replied.

“You have nothing to be sorry for…” She giggled.

Discord smiled and pulled her into an embrace, he broke it suddenly as he held her face in his hands gently looking into her eyes, and she looked back into his blushing softly. Her eyes glistened as she closed them half way as Discord moved his head closer to hers; before they could kiss they were interrupted by a cough.

“Uhm…sugarcube…Discord…you ah…might wanna put something on…” Applejack said with a blush.

Discord looked down as did Fluttershy who immediately went bright red staring at the naked man.

“O-oh…m-my…” She whispered.

Discord could have sworn he heard her purr but shrugged it off and snapped his fingers, the clothes he first wore as his Silver persona appearing on his body. He helped Fluttershy up who was still blushing as the rustling of leaves caught their attention. Everyone turned round to see several Changeling soldiers emerge from the bush, Chrysalis’s reinforcements.
Immediately Shining and the guards approached them weapons drawn, but they stopped when the lead Changeling threw his blade at their feet.

“Please…I am not foolish to engage you in combat.” He said.

“Then why are you here?” Shining asked.

“We wish to take our Queen, our wounded and dead…then leave…” He simply replied.

“Unacceptable!” Luna cried out walking over.

“Please…have we not suffered enough at this foolish plan?” He asked, sweeping his arm over the bodies of the dead Changelings.

As the soldiers and guards argued along with Luna, Discord looked to Fluttershy who nodded, understanding what he was thinking. He calmly walked past the group and to the soldiers, silencing everyone.

“Go…take them and never return, or I will finish what I started…” He said coldly.

“Discord what are you?-“

Discord snapped his head to Twilight interrupting her with a glare; she quickly fell silent as he returned his gaze to the Changelings.

“Very well…thank you.” He replied.

Luna was about to protest when Celestia placed her hand on her shoulder and shook her head. Smiling at Discord as the Changelings quickly gathered as many of the dead as they could as well as Queen Chrysalis, who was now groaning in pain, and the surviving Changelings. Their horns glowed and they all vanished, leaving the group alone.

“Let us return to Ponyville.” Celestia said with a smile.

Discord nodded as he held Fluttershy close to him.

“Allow me.”

He snapped his fingers and the group was teleported out of the forest and back into Ponyville.

It had taken a while to calm the angry townsfolk when they had returned, they were still furious about being lied to by the Princess. When she had made it clear however about the involvement of the Changelings and how Discord had defeated them, coupled with the testimony of the Element and the Captain of the guard. They had reluctantly dispersed returning to their homes; Twilight said her goodbyes to Celestia and Luna as they departed with the guard. Not before Celestia had taken Fluttershy aside and hugged her tightly, tears in her eyes and thanked her for what she had accomplished. As the girls watched them leave they smiled to one another.

“So you guys fancy a sleepover? To celebrate?” Twilight suggested.

“That sounds pretty damn good Twi.” Rainbow grinned.

“YESYESYESYESYES!” Pinkie giggled.

“Ah can go get some Cider as well.” Applejack added.

“And I shall provide the sleeping bags.

“Uhm…as much as that sounds good girls, I’ll pass.” Fluttershy said.

“But why?” Twilight asked.

Fluttershy blushed and fiddled with her hair, the image of Discord running through her mind.

“Uhm...I just want to spend some time…alone…with Discord.” She murmured.

“But why not spend time with him round my house?”

“Uh Twi…” Rainbow coughed.

“What?” Twilight asked turning round.

She raised her eyebrow seeing Rarity blush, Pinkie giggle along with Rainbow and Applejack shaking her head.

“What?” She asked again.

“It’s ok darling…I hope you have a….fun…night.” Rarity winked.

Fluttershy blushed more as Discord chuckled, he picked her up bridal style and they both vanished.

“I still don’t get what-“Twilight stopped as Rainbow whispered into her ear and she went a bright red. “O-oh my…”
“Hey Twilight sounded like Fluttershy!” Pinkie giggled.

The girls broke into laughter as Twilight fumed blushing even more.

Discord and Fluttershy reappeared inside her home; he quickly snapped his fingers and everything he had destroyed in his outburst was fixed. She then suddenly pushed him against the wall and grinned through her blush.

“I have been waiting so long for this…” She said.

Discord replied with a smirk and pulled her into a tight embrace, pressing his lips to hers and closing his eyes, Fluttershy closed hers in happiness as she kissed him deeply back, throwing her arms around his neck.

“I love you Discord…” She said breaking the kiss with a happy sigh.

“I love you Fluttershy.” He replied with a smile.

She leaned in again kissing him deeply their tongues rolling around each other, moaning into their mouths as she led him to the bedroom bumping into things and then slamming the door shut.
