In the main room of the space apartment, Firebird was sitting on the couch reading a book together with his inanimate friend Baskerville. He had the entire place to himself. "We're home~" And now he didn't. Discord and Kit came from whatever they were doing, Firebird zoned out on what they were saying that morning.

"Philomena said hi and asked if she could see her this week or vice-versa." Kit said.

"You got me curious." Discord said as he invaded Firebird's personal space. "What are you doing reading?"

"Grrr." Firebird growled with a hard animalistic and uncharacteristic growl, towards Discord invading his and his stuffed friend's space. He clearly fell of his perch while he was sleeping. "It's a spellbook."

"You can do magic on your own? The limited teleportation we granted you and that the mail sending ones don't count." Kit said.

"I'm trying out magic, ever since a stealthily insulted someone I shall not name."

"And I'm not going to give away in a guessing game. That's just rude." Firebird clarified.

"But he's more fictional. Anyways, as I was saying I was sneakily insulting them (with a pun no less), I was think about him/her losing his/her marbles. I was snickering which turned into a coughing fit. And before I knew it I was coughing up marbles."

"Hahaha! Coughing up marbles." Discord laughed, transformed his into Firebird, faking coughing up marbles. "That's something I can honestly say I haven't done before."

Firebird, Baskerville and Kit ignored Discord. "And seeing how you two made my body using chaos magic, and with a loop hole with the messenger spell I can in theory use magic. So I figured I should try channeling that magic, and luckily I've read that chaos magic never runs out. Otherwise I wouldn't try in fear of draining the magic that I'm comprised of. So maybe Maybe I can finally be a cryomancer I wanted to be, or a ghost." Firebird said longwindedly, as he was stroking Baskerville like a James Bond villain.

"Eh... Sounds credible enough." Kit said unsure. "So how's it going for you so far?"

"It's challenging, magic is complicated for me, because of my Earth does have any. But want to started out strong, I want my first spell to split myself into three identical clones with different colours, preferably in the colour Red, Green and Blue. In case we get outmatched in say... A board game? We could always use more nuisances for the enemy."

"So like the Koopa Kid in Mario Party 5, 6 and I think 7?" Discord said quickly after the bird was done. Said bird wasn't amused.

"Mini Bowser, but yes like that. I wasn't going to mention that, one: because no one would get. And two: I don't want to sound completely unoriginal."

"Either way it sounds like a good idea." Kit said in Firebird's defense. "If you need our help, just us know."

"Ehehehe." Firebird laughed nervously... "I need to some laughing in the face of my failure... But I did come close... I better try again... Ach. Who am I kidding, Basky? I've far worn out my patience. I'm asking for hel-"

"Diiiid somebird say help?" Discord suddenly popped up in the room. Much to Firebird's irritation.

"Then let this be our start in building trust." Discord said calmly with a smile, his arm was ready for hand shake. Firebird gave in.

"Don't be such a negative Nancy." They broke the shake. "Now put your toy away in corner so it's not in direct harm."

"Good idea." Firebird did just that. Firebird petted its head before going back to the couch. "I just need my magic amplified, so cast the spell at the same time as me."

Firebird sighed. Both him and Discord were ready to cast it, in fact they already prepared them to go. "On three. One. Two. Thr-" Kit opened the door. It startled Discord and Firebird as they casted the spell. There was huge white flash in the room.

"Yes." That was obviously recognizable as Discord's. The rest were either Firebird's or someone else.

"I feel like a shell

No trace of my former self

Weird urge for Haiku"

A voice cracked with sadness.

"Meh." A vaguely female voice said.
"Thank you for caring, it does my usually sour soul some superb amount of good." Probably the best of moods Firebird has ever been in the house. If that even was Firebird.
"Totally!" A bubbly female voice said.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgh!" Whatever that was, it was very angry.
"I had enough! I blame this all on you, ya hear?!" This one sounded annoyed. Kit, whose vision is still obscured, braced for the worse. "Begin protocol 7!"

"No, not protocol 7!" Discord shouted, after that he yelled some more before it got muted. Luckily for Kit, he wasn't assaulted.

"Alright, gang. Split up, if you're interested in that scrapped idea I had I'll contact you all later, understand?" There were a few noises that agreed. "Good, now scram!!" There several Firebird teleport sounds.

"Kit? Can you see me, Kit? Please answer lickety split." A dull tone and frankly emotional voice said. Kit's vision returned. He looked down to see a raven...

"Firebird?" Kit questioned at the bird, who on closer inspection looks more like a falcon that somehow survived being lit on fire. Smelled like one too. The Blackbird nodded. "What just happened?"

"Thanks to you, we split into seven. All with different aspects of me, which separated isn't heaven. Don't blame yourself, you couldn't have known. But they have gone and take Discord who they more then usually disown."

"It's security
Made in case you two gone mad
Inescapable"
Clinging to Baskerville was a Firebird laying on the ground facing the wall, one redder then usual, blood red. He sounded miserable, may have been crying. Hard to tell.

"Never took you for a paranoid type." Kit said. 'Blackbird' shrugged, 'Redbird' clung to Baskerville tighter and whimpered.

"I'm off warning Princess Celestia and Luna, see you later and find the rest of me, will ya?" Blackbird flew out of the window. Kit approached Redbird.

"My Baskerville
Never I'll forget you friend
Because my clones do"

Redbird felt Kit nearing his personal space.

"Please leave us alone
I can't do anything right
Don't you realize this?"

"It's a foal story
I'm out of place being here
Please merge us at once"

Redbird never looked away from the wall.

'There's no hope of cheering up a chronically depressed personality trait that stuck on one emotion. The least I can do reassure him.' Kit thought. "Being this depressed kills you inside..." Kit nodded. "I can relate, please stay her my semi-poetic friend." Redbird cried harder, possibly of the implication that haiku is another thing he seems to think he isn't good at. "Sorry."

"Please go do your thing
Just leave me here to rot Kit.
No not you Basky"

He hugged the old toy harder.

"Alright." 'He will most likely cry himself to sleep.' He said and thought respectively as Fir he cried as he gave Baskerville a bearhug. Probably for the best to keep the haiku speaking Redbird and his beloved toy together. They never once made eye contact. "Off to find Discord and five Phoenixes."

Meanwhile, slightly above Ponyville. 'Greenbird' was joyfully flying around doing flips and few other flying stunts. "Wheeee! I'm oh so glad I split up. I, like, never felt this great. I'm never going back.Of who do I, like, totally remind myself of right now? Overjoyed, bubbly, high pitched, borderline annoying and female." Greenbird finally came to a conclusion. "That's right! Pinkie Pie. She, like, suddenly went from my least favorite to my favorite. And I'm hungry, I totally couldn't have a better excuse for a visit." Greenbird darted towards Sugar Cube Corner.

"Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner." Pinkie said behind the counter. "Hey, you're Discord's bird, aren't you? You're just a little greener."

Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle. Blackbird his predicament."Who knows what those mental copies could with Discord. I'm you can agree this can't be ignored." He rhymed emotionally.

Celestia and Luna discussed while Blackbird waited patiently. "We're busy but we'll send in some guards to capture your multiple selves." Luna said.

"You have no idea how grateful I am, I truly mean that madame...s." He like everybody, forgets that there are two princesses. But this time Celestia went briefly forgotten.

"We need you however to your DNA for unicorns to track you down." Celestia asked. And Blackbird nodded.

Barely visible outside the window is 'Bluebird' doing his best to destroy Canterlot. "Stupid, lousy, self-centered, hypocritical Equine cretins. Face my freaking fiery fury! GRYAAAAA!" He's extremely unsuccessful however. The Canterlot could runaway faster than him and surprisingly were well equipped against Phoenixes, especially the fireponies. This was a losing battle for Bluebird.

"Heya Fiery, what's with your feathers? They're lighter colored." Philomena was flying through the castle hall and saw her friend.

"Dunno dun care." She left around the corner. About the same time as walking she saw a yellow Phoenix passing by the orange one. The yellow one kinda eyed the Orange phoenix before he noticed Philomena.

"Ah, my darling Philomena, I have finally found you." 'Yellowbird' said with a smile.

"I'll get the string and cake for the fake-out prank, so 'Tia'll be distracted so she'll not notice actual prank."

Meanwhile, on the to Sugar Cube Corner, Onyx, Sky Hooves and Night Mist, under supervision of Didgeridoo Gong. Yes I gave DG a full name, maniacal laugh. What's that? Stupid? Yessir, neglecting it sir!

Anyways, focusing back on the story. "Thanks fow taking us to Sugaw Cube Cownew, DG." Sky said.

They entered to see Pinkie chatting with something. "And then he like, used me as a Hadouken! Everybody can, like, Hadouken, but how many totally have been a Hadouken? Floop. Flop. Whoosh."

"Lemme guess, Discord created you to get Philomena jealous so Firebird will get beat up some more. I just made every relation that Bird has sound abusive."

"Oh. I already know, and I'll keep it a secret. It's the two little wondercolts you have to ignore, you can go into another room if you don't want to tell your secret to us." The pink mare assured.

"Okay." DG combusted into white flames. Looking like a spitting image of Greenbird. Actually having a spit color too.

"I was about to ask what happened. Emotion cloning. That makes sense." Night Mist said.

Onyx looked sheepishly, after that he asked some questions of questions. "Whewe is he? What is he planning?"

"I, like, found a way." Greenbird said as Pinkie hooved over the thing she ordered to take home.

"I already totally found a way before that thing happened. I think he's totally planning to use Discord like a living battery to make a giant stompy-bot mech. He must be, like, somewhere in Ponyville. Need to get home, bye." She teleported home.

"We need to stop him at aww costs." Onyx shouted. "We need our costumes." Green Lantern already had his.

"...Where am I?" Discord woke up in the glass capsule which was the end result of Protocol 7.

"Good morning, you moronic maroon." Discord pulled out his eyeballs so he could clean them. Putting them back, he said a white Firebird in front of him and the glass. Wings behind his back.

"Firebird?" 'Whitebird nodded. "You look pale, have I Discorded you in your sleep? Again?"

"No you messy wardrobe of a thing. Our combined effort has split me into seven other mes. Each with it's own personality." He had a slightly annoyed tone. Nothing new.

"Now I remember, protocol seven. Any connection between that plan and the number of Firebirds?"

"With the opposite of chaos. With a PHD in Basic Logic." Whitebird held up a Diploma.

"I assure you it's legitimate." Whitebird said with a straight face and a flat tone as he rolled it up and stored it somewhere.

"I'll find a way. In fact I have found a way. It's you. You'll be energy source."

Meanwhile, Baskerville was still watching TV from Redbird's wing, who's still hugging him tightly. It's off. Greenbird joined him after she shared the snack with her red counterpart, patted Baskerville. Once she's done with that she started playing a vidya game.

"Does my, like, speech pattern come of as offensive and stuff?" She asked himself.

Suddenly Kit appeared. "Hi Firebird, I have trouble finding your other halv-" Kit looked at Greenbird.

"Hiya Kit. I'm Happy to see you. How are you doing?" Greenbird said, a primal part of Firebird in her said that just to see Kit's reaction.

"Well found one finally. This is sureal knowing you normally." Kit scratched his head.

"I need to bury Baskerville for a minute if you don't mind. I'm sure he makes great bait for your clones."

Greenbird's became uneasy as she slowly turned her ahead at Redbird who hold Baskerville so tight he would get muscle aches in the morning. Greenbird turned back to Kit. She started to whisper in Kit's ear. "Be, like, super duper careful, please. He's my favorite thing. And if you take from Reddy here, just put him, like, to sleep and replace him with-."

"Celeztia rulez, Dizkord droolz but Luna iz teh Kewlst." Luna chuckled at her fail attempts at Xtreme Kool Letterz.

"Bale was okay, but for my money nobody fills a pair of thights like Adam West."

"Thank you for your time Ms. Falcon. I always wanted to know what it's like to have a parrot. Is there anything I can do for you? You've obviously met with inconvenient fate, you're stuck in one emotion, your color is a bit off and not the least of which is you that you're the wrong gender since last I saw you."

"That might be the problem. Are you sure? Philomena wouldn't be happy, I don't the she's into the same gender as herself."

Meanwhile, Philomena and Yellowbird caught a guard, Blackbird and a tied up unconscious Bluebird. They decided that was good enough for prank victims compared to Celestia. "So what now?"

"I'm only saying it to be nice, you do imply it often and only some are subtle."

"You caught me." She threw her wings up in the air. "But I'd rather have the full experience."

Bluebird's stuck in a bird cage. Blackbird was watching over him while trying to talk sense into him. Knowing it to be futile.

"It's done, ain't she a beauty?" Whitebird said pride something that he rarely experienced, and asked Discord his oppinion.

"It looks handsome in some parts. I'll give you that. But it looks like there's more than one pilot seat."

"Because I obviously did not think of myself, you fool. My alter-egos can join in too."

And now... Whitebird attempts at recruiting himself individually. "Want to join?"

"No, I don't have the need for revenge, but thanks for the offer." Yellowbird said next to Philomena.

"No you meanie." Greenbird said next to an unconscious Redbird with Sly wrapped around his wings.

"Sure, why not? I don't have anything else to do." Orangebird said outside Luna's room.

"Yes. Yes! Lemme join you dang it, squashing ponies all the freaking way!" Bluebird said with glee.

"Squashing goes a bit far. I should give you limited control." Whitebird thought out loud.

"We really don't think hard. I know what you're planning, and I will call the guard." Blackbird suddenly stepped out a convenient shadow from behind them. Whitebird and Bluebird teleported away. Blackbird dashed for the captain of the guard. "Sent a squad out towards Ponyville. Or else it's downhill."

In Ponyville, the Justice League Trio (and DG) were prepared for the supposed mech they had to face.

"I wondew if the gween Fiwebiwd was actuawwy tewwng the twuth?" Green Arrow said.

"He sometimes does that fow the fun of it. But it's about some mundane stuff, and with a sawcastic tone now that I think about it." Onyx said.

Suddenly there was some rumbling next to the Library. Good thing, Twilight and Spike were at the Crystal Kingdom. Can't say the same about the neighbours.

A slide trap door opened. A big robot rose out of it. It's just Discord's head (supposedly) with giant boots and wings. The head can't even turn, or fly with wings. Discord's glass case was also highly visible. In conclusion it looks really shoddily made.

Robotonikbird, a Bird made out of Robotonik
A robot with a name just as stable as its pilots

"This thing is frickin' stupid." Bluebird remarked being tied up by the wings. Only had control of the emergency button.

"I did what I need with the stuff that I had. This way I can frame Discord and kill a second bird in the process. Now where is he?" Whitebird was in the main control.

"Let's get dangerous. Start singing to make this experience feel as complete as possible!"

"What's that?" Night Mist said. "That doesn't wook wike something Fiwebiwd wouwd piwot."

"What awe we waiting fow? We need to stop it befowe it does some majow damage." Onyx said.

"Wait!" A familiar voice out of nowhere said. "Onyx," Kit appeared next to them with something under his arm. "Use this to lure the robot out of town. Make sure it doesn't get destroyed or damage or Firebird will make you regret it." Kit handed over Baskerville to Onyx.

"I'll do my best to release Discord prematurely." Kit said before disappearing and reappeared clinging unto the invincible Discord capsule.

Onyx flew in front of what he thought where the cockpit must be. He waved Baskerville in front of it. "Hey FB. Wook what I got!"

"Basky!/Basky!" They lost control over the machine for a split second, the robot's head and cockpit tilted over slightly along with the birds. They didn't have seat belts.

"I suggest we change our priorities on him, we need to make sure he's safe!" Whitebird suggested.

"Take this." White and Bluebird said in unison over the intercom (megaphone) as they launched a large grabby claw from the left ear at Onyx. Super-Stallion dodged. "...You little..." Whitebird muttered over the megaphone.

"Get back here!" The robot slowly and awkwardly gave chase. As he walked it attacked by the guards, the Justice Foals, Kit, DG and Blackbird. This annoyed both Whitey and Bluey. Which gave Orangebird an idea of what to say next. She began. "Hmph..."

"Kit, Sky, Night, DG, Guards, that burned Firebird!" Whitebird called out names.

"Time to meet your makers!" The robot transformed in to a ship. In reality the boots folded into so they were repurchased as jet thrusters, and the ship was stuck on the ground, only able to move an inch per second. "NO WAY!" Bluebird yelled.

Bluebird burnt himself out of the rope. "Time for a change of pace." And directly went for the weaponry panel.

"NO DON'T PRESS A BUTTON ON THA-" Whitebird announces so everypony outside can prepare. The mech launched out tens of missiles out in different directions.

"Everypony! Redirect the missiles. That should stop this thing!" Kit explained. Our heroes kicked, shot, whacked, grabbed and threw all the missiles back at the mech. All that was left was a big pile of rubble, and a broken glass case. Discord was free. Everypony closed in the pile of rubble. Someponies lifted the stuff up to see if there where survivors. Three bird showed their faces, one more obviously more angry than the other.

Bluebird jumped out of the garbage. "Grrr. I had enough acting like a goombah, time to promote myself to the big boss!" He pulled out the emergency bottle of wine. He mashed it on his head, knocking him unconscious.

"There goes our back-up plan, you were supposed to pour it over yourself, not smashing over your head in hopes of breaking it. Moron." Whitebird scolded.

"Everything's back to normal, we gathered your fragments and put them back together, any damage has been undone. You just have to endure whatever punishment Princess Celestia will bestow upon you."

The princesses looked each other and nodded. "Send him in." The guard opened the door. Letting the bird in. He slowly and awkwardly walked towards the thrones. Firebird looked down.

Firebird stood in front of the royal pony sisters. "I take full responsibility, I know that personality related spells are potentially really dangerous. I wasn't trying to do one, it's was because of Discord's magical influence." He stopped to sigh. "Just send me to prison or banish me to a different dimension..." He stated calmly.

"You dare questioning the Princesses of Day and Night!?" Celestia raised her tone, while she was joking.

"Very well. Discord and Kit filled us in on what happened. We declare you innocent."

"You can go now, just don't attempt personality spells again. There is a reason why emotion magic, and by extension separation is illegal. If somepony only had one they wouldn't have another to balance out or rethink decicions."

Outside the throne room. "Um... Sir, can I get my toy... my annoying little sister's toy back, please?" He asked the guard holding Baskerville for him.

"It's Baskerville, he's like a brother to me. He never wants to do anything with me, never shows up to events I take part in. Just like a real older brother. Ah... Reminds me of my little sister." Firebird had a nostalgic tone as he hugged Baskerville. Nightmare and Sly just gave him odd looks.

"Why don't you adopt him?" Nightmare asked kinda... no real way to describe it really.

"Let's end the conversation right now before it gets weird." Firebird cast the spell. It failed. "I'll get it right someday."
