Sunny landed in front of the bright house and ran inside, “Guys!” she yelled, trying to catch her breath
Hitch winced as he hit his head on the cabinet “Ow!” he looked over a Sunny “What’s up?” he said, rubbing the spot he had hit
“We’re in trouble” Sunny said, making her way over to Hitch
Izzy hopped down the stairs and over to the duo “What do you mean by trouble?” she gasped “did we run out of spoons!?”
Hitch snickered at her remark “I don’t think so Izz” he looked over to Sunny, who looked unamused, “What happened?” he asked gently
“Discord” she said quickly
Izzy and Hitch looked at each other then back at Sunny “Who?” they said in unison
“Discord, Lord of Chaos, Spirt of Disharmony, not like anything we’ve ever seen before...” she was cut off by another voice
Zipp scoffed, flying overhead “You mean nothing like you’ve seen before,” she landed between Hitch and Izzy “I mean, you don’t know everything I’ve seen”
Sunny groaned “This is different Zipp, he’s and odd creature, made up of different animal parts and--”
“Wait animal parts?” Hitch stopped to think for a moment “Sunny he’s a chimera” He concluded
“Wait, aren’t chimeras part goat, part lion and part snake?” Izzy questioned
“Well, there are different types of chimeras,” Hitch explained “A chimera is a creature made up of different parts of different animals, like the cockatrice or a manticore.”
“Ohhh,” Izzy said “That make sense”
“Guys!” Sunny interrupted “We’re getting off topic here.”
“Oops,” Izzy gave a nervous laugh “sorry...”
“It’s ok, but my point is...I think Discords gone insane”
“Like scary insane?” Zipp asked
“Yes” Sunny replied
“How do you know?” Hitch asked
Sunny sighed “I saw him in the abandoned gardens by the castle in Canterlot, and I had found this statue and he seemed very bothered by it, heck if I didn’t know any better, I’d say he was afraid of it”
“He’s afraid of rocks” Zipp said “I don’t think it will be too hard to take care of him if that’s the case”
“Not just rocks, there was something about that statue that hit a nerve somewhere inside of him. He had yelled at me to leave, after I had left I heard him scream, then he started...laughing”
“No offense Sunny but maybe he was just happy that you left” Zipp said
“No, it wasn’t a happy laugh, it was a more strained, crazed laugh, like something inside him snapped” she said “he looked so broken…”
Hitch looked at Zipp then at Sunny, waiting for one of them to say something. They sat quietly for a moment before he broke the silence “Well is there anything we can do? We can go back to the gardens and try to get some answers out of him”
Sunny sat and shook her head “There no point”
“What do you mean?” Zipp asked
Sunny looked out the window “I think he’s on his way…here”
“Why would he come here?” Hitch asked
Sunny was about to answer but Izzy beat her to it, “Well from what Sunny explained, he seems like a chaotic and unpredictable creature who most likely has power over all reality…I mean ‘Lord of Chaos’ says enough by itself”
Sunny got back on her hooves “Izzy's right, we don’t know what Discord is capable of, we don’t know what were up against. But what I do know is that we need to get everypony in Maretime Bay to safety,” she looked around “wait where’s Pipp”
Hitch groaned as he smacked his hoof to his forehead “She’s at the salon doing some sort of dress rehearsal with Jazzy”
“Well, we better tell her what’s going on before that maniac gets here” Zipp said dryly
Izzy ran over and pushed open the door “Then let’s get going” she yelled back to the group
Sunny and Hitch stood while Zipp took to the sky and rushed out the door, Izzy closed it and ran closely behind them
Zipp swung through the doors and landed with a small skid “Pipp!” she yelled, out of breath she ran over to her, “Pipp we...what are you wearing?” she asked her sister, who was in a bright yellow dress, a sunflower necklace, and sun glasses
Pipp fluttered her wings “It was part of the dress rehearsal, I think it looks amazing on me, don’t you?”
Zipp sigh and rolled her eyes “Yes you do, but that’s not the point-” she was cut off as the others ran in, slightly panting
Pipp looked at them confused “What’s going on?”
“Pipp! There’s no time to explain we need now get back to the bright house now!” Sunny shouted
They all turn to the window at the sight of a bright flash follow by an ear ringing crash, Sunny again heard that crazed laughter that had been in the garden.
A thunderous voice rang out from the streets “To late Starscout!”
