He complied to her request and snapped his claws, making his injury no more, as if it wasn't even there to begin with.
Fluttershy smiled and visibly relaxed. Discord smiled back at her and standing up on two feet once again, walked up to her side.
"Now my dear, what do you say we finally go home?" He picked her up and pulled her against his chest in an embrace. Fluttershy sighed happily as she wrapped her hooves around his neck and nuzzled him affectionately under his chin.
"Nothing would make me happier my love." She reached up until her lips found his and kissed him sweetly.
Discord instantly welcomed her kiss as he growled seductively. His claw burying itself within her luscious pink strands and gently gripping the back of her scalp to hold her still to him. After a minute he pulled his lips away from hers and looked down at her lovely face. With a tender claw, he moved a strand of delicate pink hair that had fallen over her face and tucked it behind her ear. His eagle claw lingering on her cheek as he gently caressed it there. Fluttershy could not help but lean into his touch and nuzzle it affectionately. Discord's heart warmed at the gesture.
Unfortunatly, their sweet reunion was short lived. For out of nowhere, they were suddenly sperated from each other as they were thrown to the ground.
They had both been so lost with each other that they were completely oblivious to the fact that the automatic door that lead into the room had opened and that several scientists came rushing through. Throwing themselves on top of the creatures and pinning them down on the floor, trying to hold them still.
Altogether, there were about eight scientists. Three of them held down Fluttershy, while five held down Discord. They were warned of this particular creature's violent behavior when the two hunters had brought them in.
"Quick! Hold down his paw and claw! That's where he can release his powers! We can't have that!" One of them shouted over the struggling draconequus.
Discord felt his hands being pulled, stretched, and being dug into the cold hard floor.
Discord felt sharp, but small pricks all over his body. One prick in each different species part that made up his entire body. From through the thick scales on his tail, to the soft fur on his neck and shoulder.
He saw Fluttershy struggling against her captors. Her wings pulled and held tightly to keep her from flying off as they too, pricked her delicate skin with what looked like...needles!
But then, he saw something that made his blood run cold...
One of the scientists who was the closest to Fluttershy's head, saw something that sparkled around her neck.
He reached up and pulled something off from around her neck. When he was sure he had it safely in his hand, he opened his fingers and stared down in complete and utter shock.
What he held in the palm of his hand, was the necklace that contained Fluttershy's wedding ring...
