Discord leaves the throne room, humming to the tune of 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' Yes, everything is going as the way that the villain wants it to be and no way would any pony messes this up for him now!
Narrant was watching him leave, looking concerned as he spoke, "Uh-oh. Whenever a villain is happy like that, that can mean only one thing" The pony took out a huge tuba "Bad guy song!"
Narrant blew on the tuba loudly while Discord slams the door to his office evilly. He begins to dance while singing.
[Discord]
I was born to cheat and lie;
I’m a mean rotten guy.
When you ask me why I’m nasty,
Here’s my reason why
Discord laughs sinisterly while pointing to a picture of a draconequus whose face was covered.
[Discord]
At that stork delivery mommy screamed,
"Woe is me, suck a dork!
Hey Mr. Stork, behold my misery,
Discord is nasty, Discord is a snob
Discord is a nasty, naughty slob!"
Discord then jumps into the seat behind his desk and push a button. The chair then begins carrying him through an underground passageway which leads to his secret lair.
[Discord]
Can it sister, I’m the mister
Who will get the job!
Discord reaches the bottom of the ride before he got off his chair, which sprang back to his office all by itself. The evil villain got into a cart, riding it through a series of roller coaster tracks, singing some more.
[Discord]
So I’m nasty, I’m no good;
I’ll be king, knock on wood!
I’ll impress ya though I’m just a common-lowly hood. Ha!
If you can’t be loved, be feared.
Don’t get shoved, sheep get sheared.
Be the king, pull the strings
Or else you might get smeared!
I’m so happy I could dance.
Seize my chance, I’ll advance.
Come and cheer me, love and fear me,
Discord is king of Equestria! Ha! Ha!
Discord then arrives at the end before getting out of the cart. He then got into a rope bucket which is tied to two buckets of bricks that rise up and lowers himself down to his secret lair.
Applejack was waiting for her boss at the bottom. Upon arrival, Discord take his hat from his second in command while saying "Evening, my trusting second in-command. Oh, and watch out for the bricks."
"Bricks" Applejack ask Discord confused. When the villain got out of the bucket, it shot upward fast, causing the other buckets with the bricks to come down fast, much to Applejack's notice's too late. "Oh horse feathers..."
Discord paid no attention to the slam of the buckets landing on Applejack as Discord got into his chair, ripping off his uniform; The villain sings, unaware that the tuba playing has stopped.
[Discord]
Come and cheer me, love and fear me,
Discord is king of Equestrrrrria!
Of course, Discord finally realizes that the music has stopped. He looks confused while asking "Wait, where's the music?" Discord grumbles as he goes over to the Pit. The Diamond Dogs are still in there, doing some stuff to keep themselves busy. Rover is making a crude drawing that makes Discord looks silly, Fido was playing a game of jacks and Spot was reading 'Diamond Monthly.' Of course, they stop what they're doing upon their boss overshadowing them "Hey, boys."
The Diamond Dogs quickly hide what they're doing with Rover erasing his picture quickly, Fido eating his ball and jacks and Spot sneezing on the magazine before hiding it on his person. Discord rolls his eyes. This isn't the first time his goons tries to hide what they're doing behind his back.
"If you boys aren't doing anything right now, would you spare the time to go snatch a princess?" Discord asks his minions in amusement.
"Sure, your most evilsome" Rover remarked, checking his watch "Whenever we can."
"Well, stop dawdling and do so now! The opera's tomorrow night!" Discord reminds his minions as he points to the poster...which causes opera music to be heard signing once more. The villain looks oddly at it then shakes it off. Discord turns to the Diamond Dogs while adding "So the job got to be done by then. Got it?"
"But what can we do?" The Diamond Dogs ask their boss pathetically.
"Easy. I want you to grab her, find a remote tower somewhere and lock her away forever, so as no one can ever find her again?! You got me, dingbats?"
"Sure, boss, no problem. We're going!"
The Diamond Dogs quickly rush off to do the master's plan. They cannot mess this up this time or Discord will have their heads and their diamonds! Discord of course is confident that these mutts won't mess up again.
After all, Discord did pick the best losers to be the bodyguards, right?
The new 'musketeers' are escorting Fluttershy and Rarity in a carriage throughout the peaceful meadow. During this time, Pinkie is leading the non-talking horses with the former reading a book that reads 'Musketeering for Ponies'. Twilight and Rainbow are in the back, keeping an eye on the two mares inside the carriage itself.
"Wow, isn't this musketeering stuff great?" Twilight asks her friends with a smile. So far, no attacks.
"You bet!" Rainbow said seriously.
Fluttershy and Rarity was eating some food while enjoying their carried ride. Fluttershy swallow her food while giggling, "Rarity, isn't this beautiful. Being protected by three dashing musketeers. And that purple one? Oh, she is so dreamy."
"Yeah, she’s kind of heroic and all but you’re forgetting something?" Rarity ask Fluttershy in concern. "They’re musketeers, commoners, non-college-bound. You know what that means, right?"
"Our heart is forbidden?!"
"See." Rarity Replied.
Rarity drank her tea using her magic to life her cup. Fluttershy pauses in curiosity, thinking about what her friend just said. Then with a happy smile, she asks "A forbidden heart? Oh yes, that is heroic!"
Yes, things are going slowly...but no one even notice three figures waiting on a branch ahead of them. And by the time that the carriage passes under it, the Diamond Dogs lands on the roof with evil smirks, much to the notice of the ones in the back.
"Bad guys!" Twilight exclaims in alarm at the Diamond Dogs.
"Bad guys!" Rainbow ask in alarm and fright upon seeing the Diamond Dogs.
"Bad guys?" Pinkie yelped in surprise. She ends up whipping the horses, causing them to neigh loudly and making them run faster, causing the carriage to speed up like mad.
"Yikes, whoa, not good" Twilight exclaims, keeping her hold onto the carriage.
Rainbow gave a nervous chuckle as she saw the Diamond Dogs glancing at them. The musketeer should do something. But Rover smirks evilly as he spoke to the frightened blue mare "Boo."
Rainbow screams in terror as she quickly dash into the carriage, hiding under Rarity's couch, much to her and Fluttershy's shock and alarm. What is she doing?! Rainbow is supposed to keep the two mares safe!
Back outside, Twilight fights off the Diamond Dogs "Ok, you. En guarde." Twilight exclaims, holding her sword out at the bad guys in determination.
"En guarde. I hate those words!" Spot scowls angrily at Twilight.
Spot in fury swung hard at Twilight, trying to hit her. The Diamond Dog manages to knock Twilight's fencing sword before slashing several swipes at her. This causes the purple unicorn's clothes to fall off, revealing her usual self.
The carriage kept on driving fast, making it hard for the good guys to keep on fighting the Diamond Dogs who got the drop on them.
Back inside, Rainbow was trying to stay inside while Fluttershy and Rarity is trying to shove her back outside. The blue mare got a duty to perform!
"Get out there and fight, you coward!" Rarity exclaims to Rainbow in annoyance.
Back on top of the fight, Twilight kept on fighting Spot and Fido. Meanwhile, Rover smirks evilly as he lands in the seat next to Pinkie who manages to get herself balanced.
"You fellas seen any bad guys around here?" Pinkie ask curiously while looking around.
"Ooh. How about this bad guy?" Rover chuckles as he took a camera out and push a red button.
Without warning, a boxing glove came out of the camera's lens, hitting Pinkie and sending her right off the carriage.
"Pinkie!" Twilight exclaims in alarm and worry.
Suddenly Rover grabs Twilight and kicks her from behind, knocking her off the ride. The Diamond Dog leader taunts evilly "Hit the road, twerp."
Rainbow was finally forced out of the carriage to participate in the fight. Upon getting to the top, she saw what happened, making her gasps "Oh no!" To make matters worse, she turn and saw Rover facing her again. Rainbow points her sword out in hopes to fight the enemy off. That causes the Diamond Dog to chuckle.
"Ahem...boo."
Rainbow screams in terror. Without a second thought she got a suitcase out and jumps in before tossing herself right to where her friends are. Anything than facing these crazy scary Diamond Dogs!
Pinkie kept on rolling down a hill before she lands in a mud pit.
Twilight and Rainbow lands right into Pinkie, knocking her all into the mud. Twilight was about to get up but then the suitcase that Rainbow tossed herself and hits her in the face.
Twilight was dazed but soon snaps out of it. She exclaims "Princess!"
Fluttershy is seen out from the carriage. The evil Diamond Dogs laughs as they drove the carriage until it disappears from the sight. Twilight tries to get out of the pit but it was too late. She looks down before sliding back into the pit.
"How can we save the princess now?"
"You're kidding right? Forget it!" Rainbow groans to Twilight as she got out of the suitcase in despair. "It's hopeless, we are all failures!"
"Hopeless. Failures" Pinkie ask in sadness, causing her own mane and tail to fall flat. She shed a tear then sobs a bit.
"Oh, come on, Pinkie. Here, blow" Rainbow said as she gave a hanky to Pinkie. The pink pony took the hanky and wipes her tears away.
Regardless, the sad Pinkie kept on crying. The heroes had blown their mission as the bodyguards to the princess. Some musketeers they are!
"Well, I don't think we're hopeless" Twilight said in determination. She wipes the mud off of herself. This purple unicorn isn't about to give up without a fight. "Anyway, Discord is counting on us!"
"He does?" Pinkie ask Twilight puzzled. "I mean, he does!" Pinkie exclaims eagerly as she calms down, her mane and tail inflate to the usual puffiness again.
"After all, didn't Discord make us all musketeers?" Twilight reminds her friends with a nod. Of course, the purple unicorn has no clue as to the real reason why Discord even made the group musketeers.
"Yeah! We’re musketeers!" said Rainbow.
"That’s right, just like we dreaming since we were kids!" Twilight said with a smirk. She and her pals got out of the mud pit. They can still rescue Fluttershy and Rarity "So how about it? Are we a team?"
"Well, count me in, Twilight!" Pinkie exclaims as she and Twilight put their hooves onto the top of one another.
"Right, me too," Rainbow exclaims in determination, putting her hoof on top of her pals. She wants to at least make up for her cowardice and abandoning Fluttershy and Rarity during the fight.
"Come on! We're off to save the Princess!" Twilight said as she takes her sword out, ready for action. "After all, no obstacle's too big!"
"Yeah," Pinkie exclaims with a smirk as she takes her dagger out. Those Diamond Dogs are going to regret kidnapping the princess. "And no danger too great" Twilight said to her friends in determination, ready for anything.
"You said it!" Rainbow exclaims. The heroes put their weapons together, grinning. Yes, they got their guard down but the five can still fix it and get Rarity and Twilight back!
"Together, we will save the princess or die trying!" Twilight laughs eagerly. She and her friends rush off to the direction of where their enemies are at...all but Rainbow who got a worried and scared look on her face. Whatever confidence she got is gone.
"Die?" Rainbow asks in worry then yelps as Twilight and Pinkie came back, dragging her with the others. "Die?!"
