Midnight Castle
"Being the cruel, sneaky, conniving witch that I am," Hydia began, before Nightmare Moon, Somnambula, and Abacus Cinch. "I believe I have spoken my usefulness, and the benefits of my plans," Nightmare squinted her eyes at the witch, who quivered, "Of course, I mean it in your interests, my princess. Shall I proceed?" In response, Nightmare Moon and Somnambula both combined their magics, as they blasted a ray of magic at Hydia, who screamed in agony, as the mark of the Shadowbolts, burn in her skin, on her left hand, "WHAT TRICK IS THIS?!"
"You have proven crafty, Hydia!" Somnambula began. "So we have decided to provide you a safety measure!"
"You are hereby, one of us, now!" Nightmare Moon explained. "The mark on your skin will keep you bound to our wills."
"A precaution so that we will know exactly where to find you, and your daughters," Abacus added. "So that you cannot escape us, or betray us!"
After rubbing her hand, easing the pain slightly, Hydia replied grimly, "I accept your terms, master," the witch bowed her head, before the dark alicorn.
"I can't believe we're now working with those witches!" Sour growled.
"I know, right?" Indigo replied. "They're disgusting, they're mean, and one of them looked as if she hasn't been exercising in a millennia!"
"Well, it could be worse, you know," Sugarcoat said. "We'd be working with him," the girls looked to see Discord, running around the room, snapping his fingers, and causing all sorts of ruckus, with Snips and Snails at his sides, "That guy's crazy."
"YOU TELLING ME?!" Discord asked, when he unexpectedly popped out of Sugarcoat's ear, and honked the girl's nose, before he took off, laughing, "WHOO HOO! HOO HOO! HOO HOO! HOO HOO! HOO HOO!"
Soon, Snips and Snails came, "We are number one~" Snails sang, before he and Snips both gave a double kiss on Sour Sweet's cheeks, followed by a slap to her butt, and some quick feels to her girls. "Wah ha ha!" the boys laughed maniacally, before they took their leave.
"Why do boys always do that?!" Sour groaned in frustration. "I hate it! It makes me feel....feel...."
"Like a toy, rather than a person?" Sugarcoat puts it bluntly.
"You know it!" Sour Sweet shouted, "Why me?! Why me?!" she asked, before hysterically bursting out crying, hugging Indigo for comfort.
"Um, there there, Sours," Indigo said, while repeatedly patting her friend's back. "It's not your fault that boys think you're quite the catch."
"How much longer can we take?" Lemon whimpered. "I want to be free, to rock and roll. Not be rocked and rolled around the floor, like some basket ball!"
"Come on, dearies," Sunny called. "Keep it together! We're not much good, if we keep hyperventilating like this!
"I can't believe we've been reduced to the distasteful roles as servants!" Hydia grumbled, as she paced around in her given room. "I was quite satisfied of being my own master! Then again, it's not quite satisfying since I've had two disappointments for minions."
"Duh, yeah!" Draggle droned. "We hate those minions!"
"Draggle you idiot!" Reeka said, as she pulled on her sister's hair. "She's talking about us!"
Hydia went over and "It's time we do something about this! Time for us to reclaim our reputations! Time to start living up to the family traditions! Time to step up our games! Time to be evil, and mean!"
"Duh, but we are mean," Draggle droned.
"And evil!" Reeka added.
Hydia turned and glared at her two daughters angrily, "Not evil enough!" she growled, while waving her fist. "Why can't you be evil like I taught you?"
"Oh no," Reeka groaned. "I feel another song coming up."
"An evil song?" Draggle asked.
"What else?" Reeka asked rhetorically, to which Draggle was about to answer, had Reeka not shut her up with a mousetrap.
"She's right you know!" a voice called, revealing itself to be Discord. "Why can't you be evil, like your mother's cousin here?" With that, Discord conjured up an image of Dolores Umbridge. "You should see how she runs a school! She's an absolute tyrant!"
"Ah, Discord!" Hydia exclaimed. "So nice to see you again, not!"
"Oh what did you expect from me?" Discord asked, while casually looking at his claw. "I'm the Master of Chaos. The King of Trolls. Besides, what do you expect from a villain protege like me? Help an even older villain like you?"
Hydia pointed her fingers, trying to make a statement, before she realized Discord's message, "You're in the ball park."
"Duh," Draggle began. "How can you be so evil? Weren't you the dragon's friend in the first place?"
"How can I be so evil?" Discord asked. "I'm glad you asked. And I'll be happy enough to tell it to ya. IN SONG!!"
"Oh, not again," Reeka groaned, before she started to tap her feet, and shake her shoulders, when the music turns out to be rock and roll.
The three witches were taken by the drama, the style, and the passion the draconequus was putting into his song.
"You heard it here first cause I'm the one who said it," Discord sang. "Yeah, I'm evil...."
"He's evil! WAH!" Snips and Snails sang.
"I'm evil for extra credit!!" With that, Discord snapped his fingers, as fires erupted around the room, scaring Draggle and Reeka, while Hydia stood awestruck.
As Discord continues singing, he snapped his fingers repeatedly, conjuring all sorts of disarrays of chaos, and confusions. Hydia soon got into the groove, as she was bopping her head up and down, while swaying her hips to the song, and tapping her feet.
"That's right," Discord smirked. "I'm evil for extra credits! Tell 'em all about it, girls!"
With a snap of his fingers, a group of girls, consisting of the Dazzlings, Daybreaker, Sunburn, Queen Chrysalis, Eris, Queen Umbra, Catrina, Juniper Montage, Tempest Shadow, Cupcake Slash, Cursed Word(a.k.a. TheLostNarrator), Vannamelon, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Orca, Fiona Fox, Lien-Da, Blackfire, etc. The girls all sang their lyrics, while Discord, Snips, and Snails continued with their performance, up until Discord snapped his fingers, and the girls vanished in puffs of smokes.
"We're evil for extra credits!" Discord and the boys concluded, earning applauses from the witches.
"Whoo-hoo!" Reeka blew a whistle, as she clapped her hands.
"Duh, yeah!" Draggle added. "That's us too! Duh, we're evil for extra credits."
"Then it's time for us to unleash, the Smooze!" Hydia declared, with several thunderbolts going off, courtesy of Discord.
"THE SMOOZE?!" Draggle and Reeka shrieked dreadfully. "Not the Smooze! Anything but the Smooze!! What's the Smooze?" Draggle asked.
"Allow me," Discord began, as he popped himself a professor's lab coat, and a blackboard. "The Smooze was once just a simple slime monster that first came to Equestria, in a small meteorite, thousands of years ago. It had a huge appetite, and devours anything that's shiny, making it grow bigger with every objects it had consumed. This ravenous monster would've eaten all of the world, had it not been for one meddling unicorn wizard, by the name Starswirls the Bearded, who sent the monster in a state of hibernation. That is, until Hydia first woke it up, thousands of years ago, poisoning the monster with her evil powers, forcing it to do her bidding, as they conquered the land which is now the Land of Glooms."
"Wow, mother," Reeka gasped. "That was you?!"
"Yes, indeed it was me," Hydia smiled proudly, before her eyes bulged. "Did you just call me mother?"
"I meant to say, master!" Reeka corrected herself. "Sorry, master. Slip of the tongue," the fat witch chuckled nervously.
After giving her daughter some blank stares, Hydia turned back to Discord, "It's time to re-awaken the Smooze, once again!"
"Oh, goody goody gumdrops!" Discord smiled, his head turning into Marvin the Martian momentarily, before it reverted back to normal. "Though, where do we begin to wake it up? It's not like we just get out an alarm clock and say, SMOOOOZEEE!! WAKE UP!! Am I right? Or am I right?"
"You're right about that, Discord," Hydia grumbled, as she walks over to a jar, in the shape of a skull. "Lucky for you, I have the necessary ingredients needed to wake it up!" Hydia opens up the jar, and pulls out a huge scroll, with an endless list of ingredients, and hands them to Draggle and Reeka, "Here! Get these ingredients, and don't fail me!"
With that, Draggle and Reeka looked over the ingredients, "Fungus, moss, mildew, and-" the two girls looked at the last ingredients with dread. "AND FLUME?!!"
"Duh, not the flume master!" Draggle begged. "PLEASE!! WE'LL GET EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT NOT THE FLUME!!"
"SILENCE!!" Hydia waved her heads as she levitated the two girls up in the air, "You will do as I say, or pray you don't get sent to the sun! Now get!" With that, Hydia blasted a ball of fire, and shot Draggle and Reeka out of her room. "Oh, Tirek help me."
"Welp, that's that," Discord began, before he turns to Snips and Snails. "In the meantime, we've got ourselves a Sun Stone to steal!"
"Wah!" Snails shouted in agreement. "We're number one!"
"I beg your pardon?" Hydia asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Discord began. "Whatever happened to 'nothing can stop the smooze?'" Discord sang in a mocking voice, "And then all of a sudden, boom! Here comes Starswirl the Bearded and the breezies, saving the day! And then what happens? Boom! The smooze is defeated. And forgive me if I quote, I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through."
"Hmmm," Hydia pondered. "You know, you're right. I never thought of that."
Discord turned to the audience, "It's a wonder why she's #3, after Tirek and Grogar in Gen 1."
Discord turned to Hydia, as he raised his head up in a snooty fashion, "Now, being the more effective, and cleverer of all evil proteges, may I elect myself and my boys here, to go and steal the Sun Stone? That way, without their precious Sun Stone, the Breezies will be powerless to defeat the Smooze, as their ancestors had been thousands of years ago!"
Without hesitation, Hydia replied, "Very well then. The Sun Stone is yours!"
"SCORE!!" With that, Discord spins himself in a cowboy's attire, "Saddle up, boys!" Discord said in a western accent, "We're riding into the sunset!" With that, Discord snapped his fingers, conjured Prince Blueblood, with a saddle on his back, and a rein around his nose.
"Ride like the winds, Blueblood!" Discord said.
"Well I certainly take offense to that, draconequus," Blueblood groaned. "I am royalty after all. Not some-OUCH!!" Discord kicked into Blueblood's side, silencing the unicorn stallion.
"We're number one~" Snips and Snails sang.
