Inside the caves of the Diamond Dogs, Sweetie Belle was hanging inside the birdcage which was attached to the ceiling. She watched as the three dogs were talking to each other right below her.
“Just think boys,” said Rover. “When Rarity gets here, we will be stinkin’ rich.”
“I can just picture all those colorful gems,” said Spot.
“Rarity would never give up her gems to a bunch of freaks like you,” said Sweetie Belle.
Rover then looked up at the small filly with an evil grin.
“She will have to if she values your life,” he said.
“What do you want those gems for anyway?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Why to be rich of course,” said Fido. “With that many gems, we can whatever we wanted.”
The dogs then started to imagine all of the things they could buy.
“A new set of clothes.”
“Some fancy collars.”
“All the steak we can eat.”
“Have you ever thought about getting a job?” asked Sweetie Belle.
The Diamond Dogs were silent for a second as they looked at each other and then all three of them burst out laughing. Fido even fell on his stomach and started pounding his fists on the ground from laughing so hard.
“Oh! Stop, my sides hurt!” he said.
“Now that’s a good one,” said Rover as he wiped a tear from his eye.
Just then, they all heard a voice coming from above them.
“Hello? Diamond Dogs? Are you here? I got your gems.”
“That’s Rarity,” Sweetie Belle said with a smile.
“Looks like your sister came to her senses,” Rover said to the small filly before looking at Spot. “Go up there and get the gems. But make sure you count them all first. I don’t want that pony cheating us.”
Spot gave his leader a small salute before jumping up into a nearby tunnel which led him all the way to the surface. He peaked his head out of the hole and saw Rarity standing in the dusty field with a large chest beside her.
“Alright you miserable mutt, I did what you told me to do,” Rarity said. “I got you your gems. Now where’s my sister?”
“First things first,” said Spot. “Give me the chest so I can see if all of the gems are there.”
“Do you not trust me?” asked Rarity who sounded a bit offended.
Spot just gave her a blank expression before saying, “Believe me, you don’t want me to answer that.”
Rarity simply rolled her eyes as she used her magic to levitate the chest towards Spot. The small dog gently stoked the chest as he started to imagine all of the gems that were inside it. He quickly opened it up, only to be met with a cream pie in the face. Spot rubbed off some of the cream from his eyes and glared at Rarity, who just looked at him with a big smug smile.
“Is this some kind of joke?” Spot demanded.
“Why? Do you think it’s funny?” asked Rarity. “Because I sure do.”
Rarity then began to laugh. As she was laughing, her voice started to become deeper and Spot could see her eyes turning a bright yellow. Then Rarity was hit with a flash of light and in her place was her true form; Discord.
“Who or what are you?” asked Spot.
“Oh, of course, where are my manners?” said Discord.
He then snapped his fingers and a small card appeared in his hand, which he handed to Spot before saying, “My card.”
Spot took the card and looked at it. In big letters it said:
DISCORD: SPIRIT OF CHAOS AND DISHARMONY.
Spot’s eyes went wide and his jaw dropped as a sense of fear went through his body.
“D-D-Discord? But I thought you were just a myth.”
“Oh no. I am very much real,” said Discord. “And I have come for Sweetie Belle. So why don’t you be a good little doggie and tell me where she is.”
“Well, if you want her, you’re going have to come and get her,” said Spot.
The small dog dove back into the tunnel and quickly covered up the entrance with piles and piles of dirt.
“So, the little mutt thinks he’s good at making holes, huh?” Discord said to himself. “Well two can play at that game.”
He then grabbed his tail, which quickly turned into a shovel, and began digging at the ground.
Spot followed the tunnel all the way back to where Fido and Rover were waiting for him.
“Quick! Help me block this entrance,” Spot said, almost out of breath.
“What’s the matter with you?” asked Rover as he noticed the white blobs on Spot’s face. “And what’s that all over your face?”
Fido picked off one of the globs with his finger and tasted it.
“Yum, banana cream. My favorite,” he said.
“What happened up there?” Rover asked Spot.
“We got a huge problem,” said the small dog. “That wasn’t Rarity up at the surface, it was Discord.”
Rover and Fido both stood in silence when they heard that name.
“Discord? As in the spirit of chaos and disharmony Discord?” asked Rover.
Spot just stood there and nodded his head up and down.
“Oh, you three are in trouble now,” said Sweetie Belle.
“Oh please. I’m not afraid of that creep,” said Fido. “Let him come down here. I’ll tear him to pieces.”
Just at that moment, bits of dirt from the ceiling began to fall off and landed on the dogs’ heads. The three looked up and saw a shovel stick out of the ceiling and make a big hole. They then saw Discord stick his head out the hole while wearing a minor’s hat.
“Finally. I found the right place. You dogs have way too many tunnels. I almost got lost,” he said. “Look out below!”
Discord then dove down and landed in a small kiddie pool that he made appear. He then got out and shook himself dry, splashing the three dogs while doing so.
“Hey watch it,” shouted Fido. “I hate getting wet.”
“You three needed a bath anyway,” said Discord. “Have you smelled yourselves lately? You all smell like a giant pile of dirty diapers.”
Spot began to question what Discord just said and quickly sniffed under his arm, only to look back embarrassed.
“Enough,” said Rover. “What do you want, Discord?”
“I’m pretty sure you all know what I want,” said Discord. “I here to rescue Sweetie Belle, and I am not leaving without her.”
“That’s what you think,” said Fido as he quickly grabbed the cage containing Sweetie Belle and ran out of the cave with it.
Discord ran off after him only for Rover and Spot to block his way.
“You’ll have to get by us first,” said Rover.
“That’s right,” said Spot, who had a bit of fear in his voice.
Discord looked at Spot and saw that he was trembling all over with sweat pouring down his forehead. Discord smirked as he moved his head towards Spot until he was looking at him right in the eye and let out a small “Boo.” Spot then let of a huge scream and ran out of the cave.
“Come back here, you coward,” shouted Rover before looking back at Discord with an angry look on his face.
“I don’t need that wimp. I can take care of you myself.”
Discord could see Rover’s nostrils flair up and his teeth gleamed as he let out a few small growls.
“You know, you look like an angry bull right now,” he said. “As a matter of fact…”
Discord then snapped his fingers and in a flash of light, Rover had two huge bull horns sticking out of the top of his head and a big gold ring attached to his nose. The dog was shocked as he felt the horns. He then looked at Discord, who was now wearing a green bullfighter outfit and was waving a big red cape and repeatedly saying “Toro! Toro!”
Rover got angrier at Discord for what he did to him. He growled ever louder as he scrapped the ground with his front paws before charging at Discord. He ran right at the cape, only to bang his head right against it, knocking himself out. Discord then dropped the cape, revealing a large anvil behind it.
“Ole,” he said before leaving the cave.
Discord made his way through the different caves and tunnels trying to find Fido and Sweetie Belle. That’s when he saw the cage with the small filly inside it lying on the ground.
“There you are,” Discord said as he walked up to the cage. “Where’s that giant hairball that took you?”
“I don’t know,” said Sweetie Belle. “He just placed me on the ground and then took off.”
But at that moment, Sweetie Belle saw Fido appear behind a giant rock right behind Discord. She tried to tell Discord to look out, but she was too late and Fido wrapped his arms around Discord and held onto him in a big bear hug. Discord tried to break free, but Fido’s grip was too hard to break out of.
“Get your stinking paws off me you darn, dirty mutt,” he said.
“Or else what? You going to make it rain chocolate milk on my head?” Fido said. “Don’t make me laugh.”
A grin appeared on Discord’s face when he heard that.
“Now there’s an idea.”
He then quickly snapped his fingers and both of his hands disappeared only to reappear floating behind Fido and start tickling his ribs. Fido went into a big giggle fit before losing his grip and letting go of Discord, who made his hands reappear on his arms.
When Fido stopped laughing, he snarled and ran at Discord. He then realized that while his legs were moving, he wasn’t moving at all towards Discord. That’s when Fido looked down and saw that he was running on a small conveyer belt.
“Hey! Get me off this crazy thing,” Fido shouted at Discord.
“As you wish,” said Discord before snapping his fingers.
The conveyer belt then went in reverse and Fido flew right off it and landed inside a giant cage with the door slamming shut behind him.
“Let’s see how you like being locked up,” Discord said before going back to Sweetie Belle. “Now let’s get you out of there.”
Discord then put a tight grasp on the cage’s lock with his eagle claw and the lock suddenly turned bright red. Discord then pulled on it and it snapped in two, causing the door to open and Sweetie Belle walked out. She then saw Discord eating a piece of the broken lock.
“Want some?” he asked the small filly as he handed her the other half.
Sweetie Belle gave the lock a small nibble before she recognized the taste; licorice, her favorite. She held the candy in her front hooves and devoured the rest of it.
“I knew you would enjoy that,” Discord chuckled. “Rarity told me that you love licorice. Speaking of Rarity, she must be worried sick about you. Let’s get you home.”
But before the two began to walk they heard someone say “Stop right there,” from behind them. They both turned around to see a guard dog pointing a spear right at them.
“You two are not going anywhere,” he said.
Sweetie Belle clutched Discord’s leg and began to tremble in fear. Discord felt her trembling and bent down and comforted her by patting her head.
“Don’t worry, Sweetie Belle,” he said. “I got this.”
Discord then walked up to the dog, who pointed his spear right in his face. Discord just smiled and touched the spear with the tip of his finger and in a flash of light, the spear turned into a bouquet of flowers. The dog looked at the flowers in confusion when suddenly; a large bee popped out of them and stung him on the nose. The dog let out a small yelp as he rubbed his nose before snarling at the bee. That is until a whole swarm of bees flew out of the flowers. The dog let out a very quiet “uh-oh” before running off as the bees flew after him.
“Well that takes care of that,” said Discord.
But just as he turned around, he saw a dozen more guard dogs looking right at him and Sweetie Belle.
“Do you have a plan to get rid of these guys?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Hey, I’m Discord. I always have a plan,” Discord said with a smile.
Discord rubbed his chin as he tried to think of something when a light bulb appeared on his head and shined a bright yellow. He snapped his fingers and a small blue whistle appeared in his hand.
“Is that a dog whistle?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Nope. Even better. It’s a Rarity whistle,” said Discord.
Sweetie Belle took a closer look at the whistle and saw a small picture of Rarity crying on the side of it.
Discord took a deep breath and blew into the whistle and out came the sound of Rarity whining and crying. All of the dogs covered their ears and howled as they listen to the terrible sound.
Discord and Sweetie Belle walked right past the dogs. They were so busy covering their ears, they didn’t notice the two walk by.
After seeing that they were clear of the dogs, Discord stopped blowing on the whistle. He then looked up and saw a cave entrance on the ceiling.
“That looks like a way out,” he said.
He then snapped his fingers and an elevator appeared right in front of him. Sweetie Belle followed Discord inside and then watched as he snapped his fingers again and in a flash of light, he was wearing a bellhop uniform and he pressed a big white button that was attached to the elevator.
“Going up,” said Discord as the elevator went all the way up out of the cave.
When the elevator stopped, the doors opened to reveal that the two were back on the surface.
“First floor; trees, blue skies and happy singing ponies,” said Discord.
“Boy, am I glad to get out of there,” said Sweetie Belle as she stepped out of the elevator. She then smiled up at Discord and hugged his waist.
“Thank you so much for saving me.”
“It was my pleasure,” said Discord before Sweetie Belle let go of her embrace and the two made their way back to Ponyville.
