As quickly and as silently as they possibly could, they made their way toward the pair, hiding behind trees as they got closer. The net gun held tightly against Brett's chest.
He held his finger over the trigger, prepared to shoot as soon as he got close enough...
"Are you okay my love?" he asked as he embraced her in a hug.
She nodded against his chest. "I am now. What happened?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter anymore as long as you're alright." Discord tilted her chin up and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.
Discord had been so distracted with healing Fluttershy that he did not notice the two hunters coming within shooting rangeā¦
Just as Discord released her and stood up to his full hight, he was immediately knocked back down to the ground by an unknown force that instantly wrapped around his long, almost serpent-like body, trapping him.
"WHAT IN EQUESTRIA?!"
Instinct took over and he started to writhe around violently on the ground like a fish out of water, trying to get free. But to no avail.
"Discord!" Fluttershy yelled in fear.
"Ha ha! We got them! I didn't think it would be that easy! I can already smell all the money!" Brett exclaimed victoriously.
"Discord what's happening?!"
There was so much fear in his wife's voice that it snapped Discord back to reality.
"It'll be okay honey! Hold on! I'm coming!" Discord snapped his fingers and in an instant he was out of the net. At the same time, he had used his magic to teleport Fluttershy out of hers as well. As soon as she was free, Fluttershy ran to Discord, who wrapped her in a protective hug while she sobbed into his shoulder.
"What?!?!" Brett shouted in disbelief. "You weren't lying Gunner! That creature really does have powers! This is going to be a lot more difficult than I thought..."
He could not concentrate on his magic to teleport them out of there, his only concern at the moment was keeping Fluttershy safe. Discord got down on all fours and stood in front of Fluttershy protectively, shielding her body with his own against any harm these new enemies might bring upon her.
"Stay away from her!" He snarled as his tail wrapped protectively around her shaking form.
Brett only smirked at the display before him. He gave a curt nod and all of a sudden, Discord was encased in blackness...
(1) his body looks nothing like a serpent. Unless serpents can control the very fabric of reality
(2) riiiiight, because the most efficient way to trap the spirit of chaos and disharmony is by grabbing him tightly using both your arms and legs,it's not like he couldn't get rid of anything with a snap of his fingers.
And the fact that he was to protect Fluttershy using his body is absurd. I mean, with a snap of his fingers and both hunters would be in the the frozen north, or their weapons would've been turned into gummy worms. Either Discord took a massive hit in his intelligence or you don't understand how terrifyingly powerful Discord truly is

Well I meant that his body is long like a serpents. I'll go back and make it clearer.
And I understand how terrifyingly powerful he is, as I said in the chapter, he couldn't concentrate on his magic, his first and foremost priority and concern was Fluttershy.
You would think that he would use magic. But remember, this attack was just sprung on him, and like with people today, when you're in the heat of the moment, you can't think straight, you only want to survive. For example, if you have seen the movie "Sully" with Tom Hanks. When the plane crashed into the water, one man jumped in and tried to swim to shore. You would think he would wait on the plane with everyone else and not jump in to the freezing water. But he didn't want to die standing there. So he did what he thought was best. It's the same thing with Discord in this story
