"Discord I'm about to make lunch is there anything..." I stopped in confusion as I watch Discord happily eating what looked to me to be a salad made with shredded paper. "Uh, umm, are you eating... paper?
"Am I?" Discord swallowed before nonchalantly forking more paper into his month. "Huh, how odd of me."
"Well, um..." I smiled as I slowly back out of the living room. I think it might be best to leave him to eat his paper while I fed my animals. "I, uh, need to feed my animals. If you need me just, um... holler..."
I quickly gathered all the critters food and dragged all it outside. With Discord in the house I was going to have to feed my animals outside. They were understandably afraid of him and scared animals will not eat. Except for Angel who never seems to get scared and has actually been a bit antagonistic towards Discord. I know Angel is trying to be protective of me, but If I am going to be able to get through to Discord I need him tone it down.
As I looked around I could see that even with the incitement of food all my friends were still cowering underneath any cover they could find. It seems even with Discord inside and me feeding them outside instead of inside my animals were a still bit too scare to come out. Maybe a little music should help them calm down enough to eat...
There's music in the treetops
And there's music in the vale
And all around the music fills the sky
DISCORD!
I eep in fright, diving under the chicken coop. Wait... That sounded like Twilight, a very angry Twilight. Discord what did you do now? I hope whatever he did this time I can calm down Twilight. I rushed inside my home to find Discord dodging a magic beam fom the mad unicorn.
HOLD STILL YOU BASTARD! Twilight roared trying to chase down the elusive draconequus. She was so angry that she was floating in the air, her fur completely white and her mane ablaze just like that day at the Froggy Bottom Bogg.
She attempted again to blast Discord with her magic but he was too quick and avoided it. I dove underneath the couch as another blast nearly hit me. What could Discord have done to get her this furious!
"But my dear... I did nothing!"
"You tore out all the reforming spells from the library!" Twilight roared, sending out another barrage of spells at him.
"That does explain the paper eating..."
"He ate them?!" Twilight screamed, scaring me further. I didn't think she could hear me with how quiet I made my remark. I didn't even realize I had said that out loud. "Ugggghhhh! DISCORD! How dare you eat pages from the books in MY library!"
Suddenly another blast from her horn broke the couch that I was under into pieces. If I don't do something my house and all my animals friends would be without a home! But with how furious she was I was going to need to use the Stare. I hated using it especially on my friend but I had no other recourse. "Twilight, calm down!" I stepped in front of her staring her down.
Twilight was just starting to calm down enough to return to normal when my front door was busted opened by Rainbow Dash. Stunning me and shocking Twilight down from her anger.
"Rainbow Dash!" Rarity whined as she walked in brushing her mane with a brush. "I must ask you not to do that again! My coiffure is very delicate and wind swept manes are not in season!"
"Quit your complain' Rarity." AJ scolded.
"Well, I never!" Rarity huffed.
"That was fun we should do it again!" Pinkie Pie suddenly popped up form behind me. How...
"Later Pinkie Pie..." AJ rolled her eyes. "We have a varmint to confront."
"Indeed."
"Now, um, slowly and calmly explain to us everything you think Discord did, uh, please?"
"Well to begin with, he tore out pages from the books at the library..."
"Who cares about some dusty old books..."
"Rainbow Dash! " I scolded Rainbow Dash. "Go on Twilight."
"Then moments later Spike stumbles into the library covered in blood spouting nonsense about being a monster and that I should put down. I have never seen him so distraught since his hatchday... and when I tried to find out why he thought that all could get out of him was Discord..."
"YOU... YOU... BRUTE!!!" Rarity screamed, her element already beginning to glow. "Lady or not I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS! LADIES!"
I gritted my teeth in disappointment and anger. I gave Discord some space and he attacks one of my friends!? Especially one that was having so much troubles as it was. I gladly let my Element activate, joining with the others. The rainbow beam was about to fly towards Discord when it dispersed without doing anything. I tried to reactivate my Element again only to realize I wasn't wearing it anymore.
"Uh uh uh no rainbow blasty necklaces." Discord tsked, holding our Elements in his hands. How?!
"Bwah!? HOW!?" Twilight exclaimed in shock. "Celestia put a spell on them so you couldn't take them away!"
"Ah ,the naiveté of youth, believing everything their elders say." Discord rolled his eyes. "Sunbutt can no more enchant the Elements as Fluttershy here can do the Sonic Rainboom."
"What are we going to do?! Without the Elements! Without the... " Twilight began to hyperventilate. I grabbed one of the paper bags that I had lying around just for this purpose and gave it to Twilight.
"Well.... You could act like I am 'reformed'..." Discord 'helpfully' suggested as he handed back our Elements. However, from the looks of my friends they didn't believe him... and frankly neither could I. "No?"
"Yeah, No! No way will we act like you're reformed! You hurt a friend of mine, and nopony," Rainbow Dash started to advance on Discord, accenting each word with a stab of her hoof. "I mean, no pony, hurts a friend of mine!"
"Pah-lease.' Discord pushed Rainbow away from him. "I didn't hurt Spike I merely told him of his family... Unsurprisingly, he didn't believe me so he attacked me and quite viciously too..."
"Yah don't look hurt to me." AJ glared at Discord. "Though I can fix that for yah!"
"Yeah!"
"I'm merely an illusion reinforced by a shield to make it seem like I'm solid..." Discord waved dismissively as his body began to fade away. "My real body should be here shortly. Fluttershy, while I can heal myself to a degree I will need your skill in first aid to recover the rest of the way..."
"Me? I..."
"Ugh... Why did you have... to live.. so far... from the gemfields..." I gasped when I looked over to see a heavily bandaged and bleeding Discord. He was clearly in terrible pain and looked like he was about to fall over. Thanks to many moons of experience dealing with injured critters I can tell he wasn't faking it either. It was quite common for a animal friend to fake pain it was in just so they could get more attention, mainly Angel...
"Oh, my..." I rushed over as Discord finally collapsed and managed to get under him just before he fell to the floor. With a bit of effort I carried him over to my only remaining couch and laid him on it. I slowly undid the bandages ignoring the gasping shocks from my friends. In my time helping the animals around Ponyville I had seen far, far worse then this... Though from a glance these injuries... Why did he come here and not the hospital?
"Discord you should go to the hospital!" I begged as I finished putting on fresh bandages and prepared to stitch up his arm.
"No..." Discord whispered out.
"But Discord..."
"My magic is already... healing the damage... the doctors... wouldn't know what to... what to do with my mix-matched body... Plus chaos magic... besides Twilight... I doubt... a pony... can... over... come..."
"Is he dead?" Rainbow Dash asked as Discord passed out.
"No..."I sighed at I watched Discord's shallow breathing. "He just passed out from his injuries..."
"As much as I hate to agree with him," Twilight grumbled, "Discord had a point... His chaos magic is hard to overcome..."
