I win fair and square. Now say your place so I can put the winning X down Very well then, I concede defeat. Middle left Bottom middle. BINGO! You don't shout bingo when you win this, you shout bingo when you win at Bingo Then what do I shout? You don't shout anything! VICTORY!! Oh do be quiet Want to play again? No C'mon, I finally won! And that is why I don't want to play again. I beat you 563 times in a row! It kind of puts a damper on your mood losing after a streak like that You wouldn't be so lonely if you hadn't scared Luna off. Is it any wonder that no one wants to visit you anymore I suppose not Do you think she's worked out that she's only acting as a beacon for you to absorb madness rather than being controlled yet? Oh certainly, as soon as she actually looked into it with magic she would have realised. There was a good bit of tasty chaos when she told her sister. I think she even called in...them...for help. The stream from her has died off though so I'm not sure if she's just avoiding chaos or if those blasted elements are jamming me. Although, I think they all panicked a lot at first so all in all a success as I've gained a fraction of chaos magic back. Knowing your luck it's the elements A head poked up over the wall. Eyes glinted in the light before it slowly retracted. A black hoof gingerly stepped out from the side of the wall and onto the path.The head reappeared and glanced left and right before the black fabric of the mask shifted into a grin. The pony shaped ninja bent low to the ground and scuttled forwards low to the floor. Voices echoed towards the ninja and with a quick judgment jumped into a nearby bush "And that's when he finally collapsed, eyes crossed, the whole deal!" One guard emphasized going cross eyed himself The other laughed "He didn't die?" The first chuckled "Nope, tough guy only suffered severe alcohol poisoning" The second guard shook his head dismissively "That many hard ciders would put Princess Celestia her self out, and she's an Alicorn! It would kill anything less than Discord himself." The first made an even louder shushing noise "Not, cool. Discord's just back there!" He waved frantically behind him The second guard groaned "He's been stuck there for months now! If he was going to get out he would have. I heard the elements managed to stop some secret plot of his involving Princess Luna" The first guard nodded "Yeah you're right! Us one, Discord zilch! To be honest, I'm just worried about the Captain. Ever since he's met that 'Princess Cadence' he's been so distracted, she seems nice though." The second snorted "Really? She seemed really...cold." The first hummed "Well it was a while ago when I saw her, maybe she's had a change in attitude?" The second laughed "Yeah, how did he ever catch the eye of a 'Princess' anyway" The first shrugged "I think I heard something about her being his sisters foal sitter" The second groaned again "Of course, It all boils down to Twilight, doesn't everything?" The voices began to fade as they left the innocent bush behind. The masked face poked out again and, seeing the coast was clear, moved forward, following the direction the pony had pointed in when he mentioned Discord. The ninja passed a statue of a stone pony holding a flag up victoriously. A nice enough statue to show off victory, but few knew the true story behind it. Or of the traitor that glared out from beneath the stone, flag still held up as she believed she had won, before Celestia surprised her with magic from behind. The ninja spared it a quick glance but moved on. That pony wouldn't be able to help anything, let alone herself. No, the ninja was far more interested in the most powerful statue here, hiding behind a row of bushes in its own private garden. Still locked in his terrified position as he was drowned in stone by the elements. Discords statue had not changed an inch since he was captured. The ninja, now satisfied that the target had been identified jumped forwards and rolled along the floor to the base of the statue where a ninja star was held up in case of witnesses. The ninja spared a sigh of relief before turning back to the statue. It quickly swarmed up and around the side of the statue until it was resting on his arms and looking in his face. "Uglier than I thought" It whispered before reaching to a pocket on it's back. With barely a hint of noise the ninja pulled out a tiny metal spike, with hundreds of runes engraved ever so carefully into it's surface. The spike was roughly three inches long and ended in a sharp point, sharp enough to even pierce stone. The ninja grabbed the two horns and swung it's self over the Spirits head and onto the back where it held on with one hoof as it examined the back of the statues head The ninja lined up the spike to the centre and slowly pushed inwards. Some of the runes glowed softly and the spike cut through the stone like butter. Being stone, all of Discords nerve endings didn't exist and so he wouldn't feel it going in, although he would have a splitting head ache when he got free. Laughing silently at it's own pun, the ninja finished leaving a completely smooth back. No-one would notice, unless they were looking for it, but.... Right on time, stone slowly crawled it's way over the back, masking the spikes presence completely. The ninja nodded, satisfied of it's work. The Queen would be pleased. It's last mission now was to go and leave note on Celestia's bad, declaring war on Canterlot I spy with my little eye, something beginning with D Is it a dinosaur? Disco? Demon? IT IS OBVIOUSLY DAY!
