The scientist continued to stare down at it in awe. His eyes went to the draconequus and he almost immediately saw the familiar gold band around one of his fingers on his lion paw.
These creatures weren't just mates...they were actually married! Legally, legitimately, like with a whole ceremony...married!
All of a sudden, he bursted into laughter.
"These cre...these creatures are actually married!" He said through his laughter.
The other scientists stared at him as if he lost his mind. That was, until he held up the necklace with the ring attached.
Discord’s eyes constricted into slits of anger at seeing his wife’s ring in the dangerous clutches of his new enemy..
All the color drained from Fluttershy's face when she saw her necklace in the tight grasp of one of her captors. She didn't even feel it being removed...
She looked at Discord. Along with the tears dripping down her cheeks, there was deep shame and regret showing on her features at letting them not only steal it, but from letting them steal it easily from her. She hadn't even put up a fight...
"It's not your fault Fluttershy." Discord tried to reassure her.
One scientist who had been helping to hold Fluttershy down stood up. He held two long needles that contained...blood! Fluttershy's blood!
Then, two scientists who were holding down Discord stood up as well, also carrying needles, but filled with his own blood.
The three of them briskly walked out of the room. Which left three of them holding Discord and two holding Fluttershy. Discord was about to roar in frustration, when an idea struck him.
They did not know about his tail!
They had no idea that he could also use his tail the same way he could use his lion paw and eagle claw to cast spells!
As discretly as he could, he snapped his tail tuft. With a flash, The remaining scientists have become frozen inside different large colored cubes of jello! Discord stood up and walked over to the one trapped in the green cube of jello. He stopped in front of it and glared menacingly at the being inside, and without any words, reached in and snatched the necklace from where it was still being held out proudly.
With the necklace held firmly in his eagle claw, he pulled his arm out and popped some off excess jello that had been pulled out into his mouth.
"Want some?" He asked her, holding out a small cube of wiggling green jello in his paw.
"No thank you." Fluttershy quietly replied.
Discord shrugged and popped the jello into his mouth.
He snapped his fingers to fix the chain of her necklace, which had broken when it had been yanked off her neck. He held out the now repaired necklace and gently placed it over her head until the ring was once again resting on her neck.
"Thank you Discord." She said softly.
"Of course, my love." He gave her a small kiss on the lips.
Discord noticed the small round welts that the needles have left behind on her precious yellow coat. He instantly snapped them away.
High above the room where Discord and Flutterhshy were being kept, was an observation room where a few other scientists looked through a long glass window to see down into the room the two creatures occupied. Their mouths agape from what they just witnessed.
"Did you just see that!? That freak of a creature just turned them into..." He squinted to make sure. "Into jello!" he confirmed.
"It could escape any moment! This discovery is too important to have that happen! Call every person in this building on deck! We need to do anything, and I mean anything to keep it here!" The other scientist standing next to him exclaimed. "Whether we need to chain him up or weaken it to the point where it can't use it's powers, we will need every mind and every person to keep it here! No matter what!"
