//------------------------------// // chapter 6 // Story: The test of harmony // by Uzlesniz Savage //------------------------------// "Ah ha ha ha, puny Pegasus! You nearly jumped out of your skin!" laughed discord. "Hey, now you listen here. Y'all don’t go 'round scarin somepony just cause it's fun." scolded applejack. "And why should I stop. I'm discord, and not just some random dragon you know." "Ya, and I’m applejack and I just don't care 'bout anythin' you have to say. Now you stop scrain' ma friends or I’ll..." "Or you'll what. You couldn't harm me unless you have your friends here to use the elements of harmony." "Give me ma friends back before I buck you like it's apple buckin' season!" exclaimed applejack. “Oh you really scary. But I think you'll like to know that as we speak you friend twilight is getting destroyed by the mare who helped freed Me." laughed discord. "What! This is just dreadful." cried rarity. "Rarity, you’re a unicorn. Why don't we just teleport to where they are?" Rainbow shouted. Rainbow dash had a point that got rarity thinking. She could do that but she didn't like to teleport. She found it to be exhausting and couldn't bring herself to faking a reason for doing it. "Well, well look at rainbow dash use her brain for once instead of her power. I guess there is a first time for everything." smirked discord. "Hey! I use my brain a lot. Name one time I didn't use my mind!?" retorted rainbow. "Uh…Rainbow? I wouldn't bet anythin' on that." said applejack sounding a bit scared. "And why not applejack?" screeched rainbow. "Because I’m the element of honesty and I can't think of one time besides the time you had to raise the water up to Cloudsdale. And then you were only thinking about winning." she said sounding like she was trying not to hut her feelings. Rainbow dash didn't feel mad or sad, just a bit let down that her friends would do that to her as she's trying to help them. Now she felt betrayed and could only think about getting away from here before she started yelling. "Whatever, you guys should be on my side. I'm out of here!" hollered rainbow storming off. She tried to leave but as she got to the door she heard fluttershy's voice say something. She didn't know how but it was so clear that she almost talked back at it. "Rainbow we need you. And you’re the element of loyalty, why leave us now. No matter what we say, it's only because were you friends and we care." She knew that she was right and no matter how mean of rude-sounding they were, they were all friends. And friends never leave friends. Even if this was discord's doings. Discord was still laughing when she turned around and started to fly. She shot there the air trying to hit him. "Hey Discord! Take this!" hollered rainbow as she was about to break the sound barrier Just as she was getting closer to the large lizard rarity figured out what she was planning and grabbed applejack. She then teleported right to her other friends. As they hit the ground they could hear the glass breaking as rainbow dash performed a sonic Rainboom. "Thank fer savin' ma Backside Rarity." said applejack hugging rarity. "No Problem at all darling, now let’s go help twilight." "NO! We have to go save the princess!" hollered pinkie hopping towards them. "What in tarnation are you talkin' 'bout pinkie?" "Well...Trixie helped unleash discord with chaos magic that they got from screwball, discord's created pony, and her magic and when he was free they stole Celestia's magic and now Trixie has it and is fighting twilight with it. And Screwball is off to Canterlot to make sure that Princess Luna doesn't leave and if she does they'll harm her or something." pinkie was now out of breath and panting on the floor. "Wow, Discord really makes you miss a lot of news, huh rarity?" asked Applejack. "Oh absolutely, I wish I was here for all that instead of discord." replied rarity sounding sad about missing some news on the fight. "Oh I don’t think you foals are going any ware." Just then a big flash of light shot down in the middle of the room and Discord was left standing there holding Rainbow Dash in a cage. "Let me go you over-grown lizard!" hollered rainbow from inside the cage banging on the rails. Her hoof got through the cage and hit discord in the back of the head. "Oh for that you'll pay dearly." discord assured. He threw the cage into the air and shot a blast of light at the cage. When the light faded the cage was gone. "Where did you put rainbow dash you meanie!" exclaimed pinkie. "Well, I Don't think you'll care much when you've seen what's next in store for you." laughed discord. As he started to laugh the made-up screwball came into the room pushing a large box with a tarp over it. Fluttershy worried about what under the tarp, but she didn't know why. "And now, I give to you, my newest minion!" exclaimed discord as Screwball took off the tarp. Fluttershy's worries were confirmed and she couldn't believe it. Under the tarp was a Stallion she once loved, but she knew it wasn’t him. She knew that discord had taken him and made him like this, in the cage was a discorded Big Mac.
