Chapter 4: "Fun" With Rarity

You know? I never knew She could scream so damn much. I had to knock her out to get her to shut up! I carried her all the way back to the Carousel Boutique. Some ponies asked if she was ok, of course I told them she was so they wouldn't ask questions. Little did they know I was about to show her how much I disliked her. With help from Ezekiel of course. I walked by the town hall and saw a decent pile of weaponry laying there. I was....quite surprised actually, Twilight will definitely be hearing about this when I 'have the time'. We arrived at the shop and I wondered where Sweetie Belle was. I laid Rarity down (or rather dropped her) and went searching for the filly.

After about 45 minutes to an hour of searching I came to the conclusion that she must be at a friends house and went back to where I left Rarity. She was partially awake and looking around trying to take in her surroundings. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight. Call me cruel but I always found the concept of a prissy rich person (or in this case pony) torn down and laying on the floor amongst the dirt funny, I couldn't help but smile. She stood up and tried to walk but she stumbled a bit. I walked over and helped her not bust her ass. She froze when she saw me.

"H-h-hi Ezekiel." She said shaking and looking around for an exit. "How are you today?"

"Kinda down actually. You see me and Fluttershy had a fight after you left and ended breaking up..."

She stopped shaking as much. "Oh I-I'm very s-sorry to hear that dear."

"Yeah....but that just means I can do THIS!!" I yelled as I planted a solid right hook on her cheek, sending her flying a few feet back.

"D-Did you just strike me?!" She looked rather confused. I said nothing as I picked her up and threw her up against a wall, knocking the wind out of her.

I laughed as I grabbed her head and smacked her around for a few minutes. "Oh that felt good! Now for the real FUN!!" She tried to say something but wasn't able to because I clamped her mouth shut and forced her to look me in the eyes. But I just turned her legs to stone and sat down and stared at her. Every time she tried to use magic I flicked her horn and disrupted the spell. This went on for awhile until she got fed up with it and told me to do what ever I was going to do and get it over with. And let's just say if she was a virgin....well....you get the idea........I'm kidding by the way. What I did do was what I did to Celestia.

"Wha!? Where am I!?!?"

"Calm yourself or the straps will chafe."

"Let's see what makes you tick!." I chuckled. "You see my fare Rarity, I never really liked you....or did I? I can't remember! Oh well you're here so might as well."

"Shall we get started?"

"Sure! Hand me something. I'll work with it." He handed me a mallet. I looked at him with a 'WTF' look but started the torture anyway. I began hammering away at one of her hind legs until that area felt like it was mush and moved up her leg until the same thing happened. Ezekiel was covering Rarity's mouth so she couldn't scream anymore than she already has today. After I was done with the mallet I was handed a scalpel and began to cut her opened, much like the way Ezekiel did to Celestia.

I just stood there watching her heart beat and the blood gently trickle down to the floor. I noticed her heart slowing down and so did Ezekiel. He clapped his hands and yelled 'redo' and everything went back to normal. I stood over her and stared into her eyes. I then reached down and felt her fur it was soft and warm. I froze all of sudden as memories of the times I had with Fluttershy where I did the very same thing. I looked into Rarity's eyes again, she was crying. She then mouthed something, it took a few times until I finally got it. She was mouthing 'Stop this please.' As if automatically my brain pieced everything together and it screamed that what I was doing was wrong. I looked at Rarity one last time and that was all it took for my heart to feel like it was tearing to pieces. The connection between our minds severed itself and when it did I started vomiting profusely. The reason? Not sure but I have reason to believe it has something to do with what I'm doing and what I have done. I ended up passing out due to exhaustion. I am prepared for unpleasant dreams.

"Hmm....I know I'm one for chaos but what he's doing (be it chaotic or not) isn't in good fun." Discord said. "I might have to find another way out of here to stop him if the need arrives. But I think I'll continue to observe things before taking any action." He somehow managed to move his eyes and look at the sky. "It is quite the lovely day though" He sighed. "I hope you realize how lucky you are Seth. Well maybe not lucky but it's better than being stuck here inside this rock!" He sighed again and shifted his gaze frontwards and just stared at the castle.

After a few minutes he noticed Luna walking over to him, with an expression that said she was ready to kill something, if that was her way. She calmly walked over and glared at him expecting a explanation. When one didn't come she softened her expression and sighed. She decided that asking nicely might serve her with better luck.

"Discord will you tell me what you have done?"

"Heh me? Why assume it was me hmm? I'm not the one running around and getting inside of ponies heads!" He somehow managed to actually speak.

"No. What I meant was what have you done to Ezekiel. It is in your best interest to speak or..." She was cut off.

"Or what?! Haven't you ruined my life enough! What with you and Celestia trapping me in stone forever TWICE!! Now if you would actually listen to me Lu-Lu." He pause to catch his breath. "I have done nothing. It was all him, I had nothing to do with it."

"I do NOT like that name!" Luna scoffed. "And I don't believe you Discord. He was not like this before and how could he have freed himself without your help!"

"I've been trying to figure that out myself. I've been thinking about it ever since he left."

"You can't possibly tell me you had nothing to do with this."

"I'm being honest with you Luna. And as long as we're chatting I suppose I should tell you that he's been planning this for hmm....I don't know. Ah yes ever since the second month without any visitors. Honestly I can't see how keeping a mad man locked up in isolation would help." He said hinting at Seth's and his own imprisonment. "Or have you forgotten about his condition?" Luna's eyes went wide with worry and the realization that her and her sister have made a much more horrible mistake then she has originally thought. "Oh please, you have GOT to be kidding me! I swear you two lock something up in stone and you forget about him! Now if you will excuse me I have eternal nothingness to do!"

Luna tried to say something but stopped as she felt a tinge of guilt and just walked away with her head hung low. Discord rolled his eyes and went back to planning.

I awoke with the biggest head ache I've had in awhile. My vision was blurry and I could hardly tell what anything was. I looked at the white blob that was in front of me and shook my head to get rid of some of the blurriness. I regretted it when I noticed I was using the pile of vomit as a pillow and the wretched stench was enough to make a pig choke. The white blob was Rarity, I looked and smiled nervously as I tried to get up. Shortly after my first attempt I decided that it was better to just sit instead. Rarity was looking at me with a look of terror on her face, like I was going to attack her or something. But then again her thoughts aren't unjustified are they?

"Ugh my head. What the fuck." She was silent. I raised my hand and lightly flicked her horn. She flinched a little and then I patted her head. "I'm going to go wash up and then we can go see your friends, ok?" I said dazedly as I tried to stand. I stumbled a few times on the way to one her bathrooms. I washed my face of the pungent odor and looked up at my reflection. I didn't like what was staring back at me. It was Ezekiel's face but it was transformed into something demon like. I shook my head and I was staring back at my own reflection. I blinked a few times just to make sure it was gone and walked back into the room Rarity was in.

Her legs were no longer frozen in stone and she moved away from the puke but froze when she saw me coming. I passed her and went to the door and opened it. She looked at the door and then me with a puzzled look on her face. I motioned toward the door but she was still acting like her legs were frozen.

"Rarity.....I can tell you moved. Your about five feet away from where you were when I went to wash up."

"A-and what makes you think I want to come with you?"

"If you don't want to see your friends fine. I'm sure they're worried about you though."

She thought for a moment and started walking towards the door. After she was outside I closed the door and walked with her. In the better light I noticed a few bruises showing through her coat and that she was limping slightly. I picked her up which cause her tense up due to the last time I picked her up but relaxed when she realized I was carrying her. When we reached the train station I set her down and we boarded the train. She sat next me which surprised me quite a bit but I couldn't look at her for an extended amount of time. I looked out the window and tried not to think about anything I've done.

When arrived at Canterlot and exited the train and started toward the castle. She insisted that she walk and I didn't protest. In-fact I didn't say anything the entirety of the trip. Rarity was looking around Canterlot like it was her first time here. Her look of splendor quickly dissolved when she saw the what happened at the castle. She froze and looked at each of the "statues" and then to me. I could tell what her question just by the look on her face and just simply shook my head. She however saw it as me confirming her thoughts, either that or I read her face wrong.

I sighed. "They're still alive just trapped like I was." She said nothing but looked relieved and followed me inside.

She was looking at all of the the other pony 'statues'. "So they're all indeed...."

"Alive? Yes."

"And the others?"

I sighed. "Same thing Rarity. I only told the Princess that I was going to kill some ponies to torment her more."

"And where is Celestia?"

"With the others in her chambers. This way."

We reached the door to Celestia's room and I opened it. Immediately after the door was opened enough for her to fit into, Rarity ran over to her friends and hugged them all, even the Princess. I walked over to Celestia who has regained some of her strength and was glaring at me. I walked up and did something that surprised her, I gave her a hug. I turned around and began walking away until I remembered something.

"Twilight Sparkle! I am very disappointed in you!"

"W-what did I do?!"

"I specifically told you NOT to reproduce my guns or the ammo and you do it anyway!!"

"Well you were a statue! And I saw an opportunity for advancement in technology. I couldn't resist!"

"To bad. I'm burning the guns and burying the ammo. You should know better! Don't bother trying to explain yourself further. Just know that all of you're hard work is going to the trash."

"But...but why?"

"Do I need to shoot you for you to understand?"

"N-no..."

"Good. I'll be back with Pinkie Pie. Rarity, do be a dear and tend to our friends here if they need it." She nodded. "Good. I'll be back soon.

All the back and forth. Sheesh!
