//------------------------------// // "Twilight, I hope you're kidding." // Story: How To Kill A God // by DraconequusInLove //------------------------------// Dear Twilight, I hope you're kidding. I'm always happy to take on new students, but two adult creatures that are clearly not from here and are constantly feuding with each other? I'd like to arrange a meeting to talk about the situation. Your faithful student and friend, Starlight Glimmer It had been two days since Moondazzle and Discord had been introduced to the School of Friendship. Starlight had them in dorms on opposite ends of the school and schedules that made sure they wouldn't see each other at all, but somehow there were still fights she had to break up nearly every period. It was late afternoon on the second day when Moondazzle was chilling on a bridge over the moat surrounding the school. The other students were well aware of her temper and tendency to throw magical energy around, so she had the bridge to herself. She leaned over the railing and stared into the water, sighing deeply. Starlight and Twilight were in a meeting to determine the two pokemon's fates and Discord had detention for stealing from the school kitchens (it was actually Moondazzle who did it, but she framed Discord), so she was at a loss for what to do. Then she could hear the sounds of footsteps and a reflection appeared in the water. "Discord." Moondazzle said simply. "I thought you had detention." "I did," she said with a shrug, leaning on the rail next to her Gardevoir nemesis. "But I snuck out." "So what are you doing here then?" "I was bored. And since we're both god-slayers-" "Oh, now you admit it?" "I thought we should team up and slay us a god." She shrugged. "Neither of us could get past Twilight's security on our own. And now, when she's alone with that Starlight pony, we might have a chance. Together we can take her out, and split the credit." "You're just planning on backstabbing me." Moondazzle could see through Discord's ruse in a second. As soon as Twilight was dead, the Ampharos would kill her too. "Maybe. But I wouldn't ask you for help if I thought I could do it alone." "More lies." She accused. "You'd manipulate me in a heartbeat. You have that in common with your namesake, you're both liars." "What if I promised you, by the name of the First, that I will not harm you for twenty-four hours?" "Then you have a deal." Moondazzle pushed herself up from the railing and turned to face Discord. "And I will not hurt you either. After that? All bets are off." Discord stuck out a paw, and Moondazzle shook it. "Now let's go slay us a god."
