//------------------------------// // Chapter Thirteen // Story: The Monster In The Closet // by Mr Anomalous //------------------------------// Chapter Thirteen The Pearly Gates opened up and a creature with a snake tail, mismatched horns, and yellow eyes entered. It was Discord, the Draconequues. HE had arrived with an exclusive invite from God. Strangely, heaven seemed empty, vacant. Turns out, all of the angels were huddled around, watching Equestria as god screwed around. Discord walked over, hands behind his back. "God? You summoned me?" The bearded entity looked over his shoulder and returned his view. "Yes, come here. I am having a bit of fun with the ponies of Equestria, but I am out of ideas. I need you to come and give me some advice." "Ooh, sounds like fun. When Satan asked for me, he just wanted me to kill people. At least you know how to have real fun." Discord looked into the world and his mouth formed and o. "You've been busy. My body has been locked in stone, so I don't really know what's been going on." The God of Chaos frowned and said, "No, no, no, take the army away." "Why?" "Because, it's much funner with just three guys. But...leave the other guys there." God shrugged. "If you say so." [/hr] Rainbow Dash was really quite confused. Revenge had been on her mind, but suddenly she almost felt as if the hospital was moving. No doctors or nurses had come, so she just waited. After an hour or so, there was a thud and a slight falling sensation, and the building was still once more. What was going on? [/hr] Alec snored heavily, as did the rest of his troops. But, suddenly, something was wrong. Alec woke up and noticed that the cave felt...empty. "Oi, Bob. Wake up." "*Snort* Yeah?" "Turn on your flashlight." There was a ruffling sound and a click echoed throughout the cave. Alec and Bob gasped. The men. They were gone. "Check John." "Yeah, still there?" "That would be a Pository." "Twilight?" "Yap." "What is going on? Seriously?" Well, at least they still had all of their loot... The Alicorn was roused by the men's voices. "Ugh...why am I still here?" "Not sure." John still snored heavily. "Seems like whatever's screwing with us really wants to see you suffer more." "Whoopee. Hasn't Celestia killed you guys yet?" "She tried, but here we are. She might be coming back, though, we literally tore up Ponyville." "What do you mean...?" Twilight gaped when she noticed the mounds of loot. "You guys are really in for it." "So we guessed. We're hoping that she goes for the other Faction first." Twilight groaned. She hadn't walked on her own for days... "Oh well, seems as if our forces have been depleted. Nighty night." John chose then to wake up. "Huh? Wha-?" "Shh. Go back to sleep." The man sleepily nodded and collapsed to the floor again. Alec really hoped that the Dominandi Faction suffered equal losses. There was a thundering war cry from outside of the cave. "Never mind! Everyone wake up!"
