//------------------------------// // Chapter Nine: The Battle // Story: She Said Yes // by Redrose99875 //------------------------------// "You ponies think you've won? you forget one little thing,.....me, and my CHANGELINGS" said Sombra, more than a thousand Changelings flew in, they looked at Thorax and hissed "it's over, my changelings outnumber you, one million to a measly little eight" "Give us a minute," said Discord, he made a forcefield around the mane six, Thorax, and himself, they got into a huddle "What are we gonna do?" asked Applejack "Well, I have a few ideas," Said Discord "What?" the others asked in unison "I'd say we'd first call amore and her knight," he said, when the others looked confused he sighed "Princess Cadence and Shining Armor" "OH," the others said in unison "We call them, and tell them to help us, they banished him last time" "What about the changelings?" asked Twilight "I say that Thorax talks to them and tell the truth," said Fluttershy "Right, meanwhile we fight Sombra," said Rainbow "Let's do it," said Pinkie when Discord undid the forcefield, he pounced on Sombra, the changelings took this as a sign to start the battle Rarity changed into a pair of pretty boots, Applejack was about to complain when Rarity kicked the changeling, he got shocked and fainted "Ya got any more of those?" asked Applejack "Not at the moment," said Rarity filing her hoofs while she used her right leg to kick a changeling out of the way Applejack started using her lasso to gather up the changelings, once she had them all, she tossed the rope in a corner Thorax walked up to them and started to tell them that there was another way to survive, meanwhile Discord was in battle with Sombra "You picked the wrong mare to mess with," said Discord "What do you mean, she was perfect, she was very powerful, not to mention gorgeous" Discord growled and scratched him on the head "SHE'S MINE!!!" he growled "I need her to live and to have her be by my side" "Well, I need her, I need her to take over the crystal empire" "Sorry, I don't think you'll be able to do that," said a voice in the room, it was Princess Cadence, and Shining armor was by her side Sombra growled and shot two blasts at the others who dodged the attack Discord was getting bored with fighting the changelings and Sombra, so he snapped his fingers and teleported himself upstairs to fight Sombra Sombra used his horn to scratch Discord's tail, at which he slightly groaned, but kept attacking "Why don't you just leave me and my angel alone?" asked discord throwing him against the wall "You mean my queen of darkness?" Discord put his hands around Sombra's neck "I swear if you call her that one more time, I will make sure you die and go to Tartarus" Sombra chuckled "Do you really think that she wants to be with YOU?" "Don't try to fool me Sombra, that angel does love me, she said so herself" "What if she was just feeling sorry for you?" at this Discord's expression slightly saddened, he hadn't thought of that, he felt a lump in his throat, he tried to hold back the tears "I thought so, you don't deserve a mare like her, she's better off as my queen" at this Discord snapped, he snapped his fingers a butcher's knife appeared "You're wrong Sombra, even if she doesn't love me, I know that she would rather marry me than be your queen" Sombra chuckled again "You wouldn't kill me Discord, that wouldn't be what your" he did a hoof quote "beloved would want" "Kill you? heavens no, I had something else in mind" said Discord darkly, he lifted the knife and cut off Sombra's horn. Sombra screamed in agony, as darkness surrounded him, his voice echoed "NOOOOO, THAT WAS MY ONLY SOURCE OF POWER" when the smoke cleared, Sombra was gone, Discord panted, he was gone, Discord snapped his fingers and appeared downstairs, before him he saw strange, but beautiful creatures, it was then he realized that these creatures, were the reformed changelings. "DISCORD" yelled a voice, it was Fluttershy she flew over to him and embraced him, "Are you hurt?" she asked "Nothing magic won't fix," said Discord, his previous scratches were healed when he was singing with Fluttershy, he snapped his fingers and all the injuries he had received disappeared. "Fluttershy?" asked Discord "Yes?" "Do you,.....really love me, or are my marefriend because you feel sorry for me?" "Discord, I love you, sure I would feel sorry for you if you were sad, but I'm your marefriend because I love you" Fluttershy showed him the engagement ring Sombra had put around her neck "Sombra put this on me and cast a spell so I couldn't take it off, but now that he's gone, I can finally take it off" she removed the ring from her neck and tossed it aside "Speaking of engagement rings," said Discord nervously rubbing the back of his neck "You never answered my question I asked you on our date" Fluttershy looked up at him "So,...do you want to,.....?" Discord trailed off, then he felt something almost squeeze all the air out of him Fluttershy jumped up and threw her hooves and wings around him "YES, YES, YES, a thousand times yes, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, nothing would make me happier" she shouted with joy. Discord smiled as he summoned the engagement ring he had for her and put it around her neck. The reformed changelings and the mane six cheered, even Rainbow did a backflip in the air, "YEAH-HA-HA, WOO" shouted Rainbow, everypony looked at her in shock, she then flew down slowly "I mean, pffft whatever" she tried to say as though she didn't care, everypony just laughed, she laughed with them.
