Discord was held captive by Grogar, and had been ever since he tried to impersonate the big bad villain.
"I demand you tell me what gave you the audacity to impersonate me!" Grogar roared.
"I've already told you this the first time and I'm not gonna say it again," said Discord.
"You incompetent fool! You either tell me or else!" Grogar bellowed. "What gave you the audacity to impersonate me? TELL ME!" Grogar held up his bell to Discord in an attempt to threaten The Lord of Chaos.
"I did it as a test for Twilight and her friends," Discord said. "There. Are you satisfied?"
"Oh, come on now. What was the real reason?" Grogar said.
Discord was confused. "That is the real reason," he said. "What are you getting at?"
Grogar chuckled maliciously. "The real reason, you say? I know your true motives," Grogar said. "You and me. We're practically the same. Masters of acting and disguise."
"I'm nothing like you!" Discord shouted.
"Oh really?" Grogar said. "Your plan was brilliant. You successfully convinced your 'friends' that you were me and successfully turned them against you. Seems you aren't fully reformed after all. That means I can use you to get what I want in my plan."
"I would never stoop down that low!" Discord siad. "You can't make me!"
"Then I'll just have to suck up all of your useless chaos magic in this bell," Grogar said.
"You can't just do that!" Discord said.
"Why not? You don't use it for its intended purpose, so why would you need to keep it? It's practically useless when used for fun rahter than real chaos, don't you think?"
"I personally prefer not to go back, thank you very much," Discord said. "I think that using chaos magic for fun is much better than how I originally used it."
"You're pathetic!" Grogar bellowed. "To think I ever compared myself to you. You're a weakling! Just like those other villains who failed because of Twilight Sparkle! That blasted Twilight Sparkle! She's bested all of my minions with her stupid magic of friendship shit. And for what? For Equestria? Ha! It was only for her own selfish motives. Why else would the bitch open a School of Friendship?"
"You take that back!" Discord roared.
Grogar scratched Discord and whipped him. "SAY THAT AGAIN AND I'LL KILL YOU JUST LIKE I PLAN TO DO WITH THAT GODDAMN PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP AND HER GOOD-FOR-NOTHING FRIENDS!"
"They'll defeat you," Discord said. "They always find a way."
Grogar smiled. "Not on my watch," he said. "I have a surprise for those six ponies once they come with what I want."
"What do you want exactly?" Discord asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Absolute power," Grogar replied. "No. More than that. I want the sword that their new ally has. And I'm gonna use you and your knack for impersonation to help me get it."
"I've learned my lesson from that time," Discord said. "And I'd never do it again."
"Fine. Be that way," Grogar said. "I don't need weaklings like you in the plan anyway. I'm a lone wolf."
"When they do come, they'll free me, " Discord said.
"They'll fall into my trap, that's what'll happen," Grogar said. "Twilight and her new ally may be smart, but I'm smarter."
"I highly doubt it," Discord said.
Grogar glared at Discord, whipping him way harder this time. Discord began to bleed.
"Stop, please!" Discord begged.
Grogar ignored Discord's begging. In his mind, it was only distracting and above all, annoying as hell. He couldn't stand it. So Grogar decided to act. He lashed out and chained Discord to the wall.
Grogar then walked away, makng sure Discord was still in sight as he spawned a crystal ball. "Tell me where Twilight and her pitiful friends are! What are the whereabouts of the sword and how do I get it to come to me?"
"It seems to be in the possession of a most peculiar, but smart pony," the crystal ball tells him.
"SHOW ME THIS PONY AT ONCE!" Grogar bellowed.
The crystal ball focuses in on a young blue alicorn with flowing purple hair and pink eyes. Her cutie mark seemed to be three sugarcubes and a third-quarter moon. There was no mistake that this pony was Sugarmoon, but of course, Grogar didn't know that.
"Oh, Twilight. You and your many allies," Grogar said. "I've watched how many friends you've made and now to make a completely new one. How long are you going to keep doing this? It's tiring, really."
He smiled the most wicked smile you've ever seen. "Bring me this pony and I will convince her to bring the sword to me," Grogar said, turning to Discord. "Now is your time to prove yourself useful."
"But Grogar, I just can't betray my friends like that!" Discord cried.
"Don't be so stupid," Grogar said. "You did it once. You can do it again. It can't be that hard, can it?"
Discord sighed. "I'm sorry, but I can't go through wiht something like that. It's wrong to just take something that isn't ours. And what will you even do with it once you get it?"
"Those ponies have messed with your mind! Once the Lord of Chaos, always the Lord of Chaos," Grogar said. "And remember the look on their faces when they found out you betrayed them by pretending to be me? That was perfect. Absolutely diabolical! That's why I need you in this plan. If I go there myself, it won't be as effective. They'll be pressured to use the sword against me and we can't have that. But you." Grogar laughed. "They trust you... at least now since those assholes are too damn forgiving." He held out his blue goat hoof. "So, Discord, are you in or out?"
"What happens if I say I'm out?" Discord said, hesitant about grabbing Grogar's hoof.
"Then I kill you," Grogar said.
"I can't die," Discord said matter-of-factly. "A draconequus is an immortal creature. I thought everycreature knew that."
"Of course I did, you nitwit!" shouted Grogar. "But immortality always has a way to end itself." He gestured to his bell. "This bell of mine can suck up any chaos magic, as you've seen firsthand. If used by that wonderful filly Cozy Glow, the chaos magic is just pure evil! Who would've thought it would transform her into an alicorn even for that little bit time? But like all the villians, Cozy eventually failed and is now the same as the rest of thse pathetic friendship-bound assholes." Looking at Discord, he said, "So yes, I have a way to kill you if you disobey my orders."
"I'm not surprised," Discord said. "But I'm not so easily convinced."
Easy Lyrics
Grogar: You're really testing my patience
I'm giving you an opportunity
Of a lifetime
You think I'm not being gracious?
You can deny, deny, deny
All you want
But that doesn't change
That you have a chance
To be who you need to be
Change the rules
Think of it as double villainy
(spoken): You see?
(sung): For you, it'll be that easy
Discord (spoken): What is with you and not taking no for an answer
Grogar: I've seen the way
How sly you are
How you shined in the moment
You were a star
Acting so well
You gave your friends hell
And despite your fake sadness
You felt quite swell
I see your mind
I see the way you think
Thinking that you can play
The part that's kind
You can fool them once
But you definitely can't fool yourself twice
Soon you'll see the price
Villainy is easy
Oh oh oh
Believe me when I say
There's no other way
Then the role you were
Born to play
Damn, that's just how I am
And you can be too
If you follow what's true
Discord (spoken): But that's not me! Not anymore! My heart even says no!
Grogar: Then get ready for the thrill
For the kill of the century
Life ain't that easy
(spoken): Any last words?
Discord: No, I don't wanna go
No, I will never stoop this low
I won't follow you
That much you should know
I am not like you
I'll never be like you
To my heart I must be true
I'd choose the magic of friendship
Over villainy any day
So whatever you say
If I die
So be it that way
I don't care
Do what you may
Because I know
More than you
That life ain't easy
Grogar faced Discord with a face that was the complete opposite of mercy. With his bell raised up in the air, Grogar smiled mercilessly and shot out the magic all onto Discord.
"Goodbye, worthless bitch!" Grogar said. "Seems nopony or creature around here would be willing to do my bidding. But am I clever."
Discord now lie there lifelessly with a pool of blood surrounding him. But don't worry. The best characters get revived eventually. That's just how Equestria works. But not Grogar. He was the most ruthless villain who kills anypony or creature who stands and his path --- who doesn't follow "simple" orders.
"I'll lure them here quite easily," he said. "I'll set up a little treasure hunt and they'll be surprised to find out that the X-marks-the-spot was all a scam!" Grogar laughed maliciously. "Just wait and see. It'll happen any moment now. I know it will."
He looked at Discord. "Better hide the body. I don't want them to think I'm the bad guy," Grogar said. "I mean, that spoils the fun of it!"
So he did just that and set up the treasure hunt around Equestria without even leaving his post.
