Consequences

Ty took a sip of his tea as he watched the animals inhabiting Fluttershy's cottage scurry about. A peaceful smile spread across his face, and a loving look in his eyes as he watched Fluttershy be surrounded by the creatures she cared for. Yes, it was certainly an ideal morning. "Was" being the keyword here as a sudden knock on the door briefly interrupted the peace.

"I'll get it." Ty said as he rose from his seat and made his way over to the door. But upon opening the door, Ty's smile instantly dropped when he saw who had come knocking. "Discord."

"Ah, Tyrannus." Discord said with a smile. "A pleasure to see you again. Is Fluttershy here? I was-"

"Leave." Ty snapped as his gaze hardened. Staring down the Lord of Chaos. "Leave now."

"Wake up on the wrong side of the bed much?" Discord asked with a frown. "There's no need to be so hostile."

Before Discord could continue, Ty punched him hard in the gut! While the Lord of Chaos was winded, Ty grabbed him by the shoulder and stomped outside! Each of his footfalls making a mini crater as he stomped!

"Don't you DARE say that there's no need to be hostile." Ty growled as he slammed Discord into a tree! "Not after what you've done!"

"I-I don't understand!" Discord pleaded! "Just what did I do to anger you?!"

"You don't. . . understand?" Ty asked dumbfounded. His entire being slowly trembling with rage! "You're telling me that you don't even know what you did wrong? IDIOT! IT'S SO OBVIOUS WHAT YOU DID!" Ty then slugged Discord across his face! The Element of Tolerance refused to loosen his grip and glared as the Lord of Chaos slowly raised his head to meet Ty's angry gaze.

"Please. . . " Discord pleaded "What did I do?"

"What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Ty screamed as he brought his face closer to Discord's terrified face! "I LOST ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS BECAUSE OF YOU! IF YOU HADN'T STABBED US IN THE BACK BY JOINING TIREK, BURST STREAM WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED TO BLOW HIMSELF UP JUST TO GIVE US A FIGHTING CHANCE! YOU'RE PART OF THE REASON HE'S GONE, AND YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOU HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY!" Discord was about to say something, but Ty clamped his mouth shut!

"I'M NOT DONE YET!" Ty snapped! His breathing became less ragged, and the burning fury in his eyes transformed into a cold rage as Ty's eyes narrowed at the petrified Lord of Chaos. "Losing Burst made me angry at you. But that's not what got me pissed of Discord. No, what you did to provoke that was far worse. You could have gotten Fluttershy killed because you only thought of what was right for you. I nearly lost the woman I loved because of you. This is just like when you sicked the Chaos Kin on Steel. I'd have thought you would've come out smarter from that, but it looks like you've still failed to learn about them." Ty then removed his hand from Discord's mouth.

"Failed to learn what?" Discord asked fearfully.

"Consequences, Discord!" Ty spat right in Discord's face! "You NEVER think of the consequences! That's why Princesses Celestia and Luna opposed you! Because you ONLY thought of what was right for you! I'm not going to turn the other cheek to your actions, but I'm not going to hurt you anymore. But you're not off the hook by any means either. If you pull something like this again, I'll make sure to beat this lesson into you. I may be the Avatar of Tolerance, but I WON'T tolerate the crap you pulled. Not even Faust herself would be able to save you from me. I know you're immortal, but you'll wish you were dead when I'm done with you. Are. We. Clear?" Ty tightened his grip on Discord's should as thunder crackled along his body!

"Yes. . . YES!" Discord screamed! The Lord of Chaos taking a deep breath as Ty released him. "Ty-"

"Don't call me that." Tyrannus spat. "Only my friends have the right to call me that. And you have a long way to go before I ever consider calling you one ever again. I'll forgive you someday Discord. I know Fluttershy already has. But that day? It's not today." And with that, Tyrannus walked back home. He was promptly greeted by Fluttershy worried gaze.

"Ty. . . " Fluttershy began. "I don't like seeing you that way."

"Was I wrong to call out Discord for his actions?" Ty asked sadly.

"No. Discord did need to be scolded for what he did." Fluttershy said as she brought her hands to the sides of Ty's face. "But getting angry at him won't undo what's been done."

"I know. . . " Ty said as he fell to his knees and began to cry. Wrapping his arms around Fluttershy to avoid completely falling to the floor. "But it still hurts so much. . . "

"There, there." Fluttershy said as she rubbed Ty's back in an effort to sooth the gentle giant. "I know. Just cry, Ty." Her wings wrapping around him as much as they could. "It takes someone really strong to admit that they're hurting."
