Chapter 18: Hate and Love
." Everyone was staring at Discord. No one had gotten use to the fact that that Equestria's number one convict was helping the good guys.
"Sooo, your on our side now?" Pinkie asked. "Because if you are, I don't think I can trust you."
"You have your right to be my little pony." Discord said happily. "Where's Celestia?"
"..." The group stopped. Repressed memories come back in a horrible fashion of pain and misery.
"Guys..." Discord happiness turned into concern. "Please tell me..."
"Shes gone." Blue spoke. "Shes gone forever. One of the Nameless killed her at her wedding."
"... I suppose you have him captive..."
"Yes!" Said Lan, pushing back his sadness. "He's in Twilight's basement."
"Take me to him. NOW!!!"
~~~~~~~
The crowd dispersed back to their homes. Only Lan, Twilight, and Discord went back to Twilight's. The plan had been set. On the day after tomorrow, they head out, bringing only essentials and equipment with them. The team will be put into two groups. Team Alpha and Omega. Alpha consisting of; Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, Luna, Blue, and Zero. Team Omega consists of; Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Fluttershy, Discord, Root, and of course Lan. The only plan they got right now is that Alpha is distraction.
"Where is he." Discord busted down the door, which Twilight fixed with her magic. "I'll kill that bastard."
"No killing. Interrogation. Find out his plans. Beat him to near death and take your time with him. I'll call you to come back up."
"Fine." Discord went to the basement, locking the doors.
"So what do we do Lan?" Twilight gazed at Lan's blank eyes, looking deep into repressed memories of tricks and pranks.
"Twilight, if we don't make it, I want you to know that I love you..."
"Lan, I know this. I love you too. We both love each other more than the world."
"That's not all... I want to make you know that I love you."
"Being let loose, eh?"
Lan smiled at Twilight's eyes and headed up stairs.
~~~~~~~ 4 Hours Later
"That felt amazing Lan..." Twilight gasped for air, as she had hit her climax point for the ninth time.
Lan passed Twilight's guard and kissed her. "I love you."
"I don't want to lose you Lan. It wouldn't be the same without the one I love."
Twilight started to cry on Lan, which was then covered by Lan kissing her again, this time being long.
"Well you two love birds seem to be done, I got some juicy intel one that guy." Discord came from the shadow.
"Wha... WHAT!!!" Lan reacted to the voice and covered both him and Twilight's body with the wet blanket. "How long where you there?"
"I'd say around the fourth climax for Twilight..." Discord chipped at his finger nails.
"LEAVE!!! NOW!!!" It wasn't Lan, but Twilight who spoke from under Lan's body, which was also wet.
"Fine then. I'll be waiting downstairs. Clean yourselves up, we are going to need to lower the date when we attack." With a snap of Discords fingers, he teleported downstairs.
"Shower?" Lan said.
"Please..."
~~~~~~~ 4 hours earlier
Discord walked down the stairs, bracing for attack. There was none. What he saw caught him off guard, as the prisoner had made himself a home in the basement, complete with fireplace, table and chairs, and bed.
"What the fuck?" Discord said.
"Ah! Discord! I had been expecting you! Take a seat!" He pointed to a seat to perfectly fit Discord. he ignored it and went straight to the point. Discord lunged at the Nameless, grabbing him by the neck and slamming him into the wall.
"Why did you fucking do it? Why did you kill Celestia?"
"Because I had too silly! Who else would of do-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" Discord threw the pony against the opposite wall. With a snap of Discords fingers, they teleported into what humans would call hell, but it wasn't. It was filled with fire and lava, blood and flesh. Flying sorts and odd objects that didn't belong. This was Discords mind.
"I'll tell you everything you need to know." The Nameless shaking with anticipation, as he was dieing to do so.
"I hate traitors." Discord watched as upside down trees held the Nameless, choking him.
"Fine, I won't tell you." The trees backed off.
"Ok, here it goes! You might want to take some notes. Ok, so the fight with me and Lan and that other guy was staged! It was too short for a actual fight, obviously. We had it planned that the human would die and I would get captured by you!"
"But why."
"Simple really! To tell you this..." The Nameless pulled out a razor. "We are sending a army of soldiers to over take the throne. No one is safe. We will grant immunity if you back down... back down from your plan. The Nameless are too strong. We have many men, willing to kill those we hate." The Nameless sliced his neck, causing blood to flow out and killing Malord.
~~~~~~~
"Staged... I knew they were faking it. Seemed too easy." Lan pondered to the thought of why he killed himself.
"So what are we going to do?" Twilight asked.
"Gather everyone and bring them back here. NOW!!!"
~~~~~~~
"Here's the plan. Team Alpha will enter first, causing damage silently to the lower parts. When the base is on full alert, we sneak in through the back, Team Omega of course, and engage the leader. We kill him and we destroy the base. Team Alpha will exit once they get a note from Twilight, which will be sent with Spike, and will regroup outside far enough from the explosion that Discord will cause."
"Sounds easy enough. This is it, isn't it?" Zero said, keeping Applejack close to him. Lan knew that he had the same idea as he did.
"It is. We have to go full contact with this plan. No fall backs." Lan said forcefully.
"What happens if we get caught?" Luna said.
"Magic. Use all the force you can do. Shape shift if you had too." Lan thought of everything.
"What if we can't find the leader?" Blue shot out.
"There will be a slacker. There is always one."
Tomorrow will be the day that we fight. Not for us, but for Equestria. Even if I go to hell, I need to keep Twilight safe. They don't know that I will be the only casualty.
