EXTERMINA- No! Bad Dalek!

by Down with Chrysalis


Episode 3: I WILL HAVE MY REEEVVEENNGE!

"AHHHHHHHHhhhhhh....."

As much as I want to keep screaming, I know that if I don't calm down then I won't be able to think clearly. And if I can't think clearly, then Discord could just use that to his advantage. Anger blinds the mind as they say.

Still… I’m mad as hell, and I still wanna burn Discords mocking face off.

As I force my raged fueled scream to end, and the bloodlust I was feeling dissipates as well. I try to think rationally for some way to get back at Discord. I take a few more deep breaths before I think to myself,

Okay Eli now that your calm, let's think up a plan to hunt down that lying prick. Knowing him, he's probably out causing trouble to feed his twisted sense of humor. So just going out and searching for him would take up too much time. I need to think of a quicker way to find him, maybe someway to draw him out...

“Keep your grubby hooves off my diamond!” a shrill voice in the distance cuts through my thoughts, and the sounds of a karate-kick induced struggle follow it.

…anyways… I’ll also need something to beat his face in with; he dodged my laser pretty easily. Maybe some kind of distraction-

“Stop laughing at me!” another, grumpier voice yells.

“Hah. Hah.” A familiar butter pegasus mocks her anyways.

“Will you ponies shut up! I’m plotting my revenge over-wait-a-minute.” I start to yell, but suddenly something comes to mind.

I look back over to the group of ponies Discord messed with. The prissy one and the southern one are fighting over a giant rock for some reason, while the yellow Pegasus, despite the blood flowing from her nose into her mouth, continues provoking the grouchy pink one.

Discord said that these ponies where the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, the same elements that turned me to stone. But more importantly...they turned Discord to stone too!

A lightbulb pops on over my Dalek head as I think,

That's it! That's how I'll get my revenge on him! I'll help these ponies get their Element's back, and then they’ll seal him away again. If Discord plans to throw the world into chaos, then I’m going to rain on his parade. Let’s see how he likes being trapped in stone for ANOTHER thousand years! That’ll teach him to betray me!

I imagine myself grinning evilly (oh how I miss my human face) as I turn my body around and start to head towards the arguing ponies. I only get about halfway there before Twilight takes notice of me.

“You…” Twilight’s voice is filled with hatred, “You did all this just so you could go home? Look at what you did to my friends!” she glares at me, pointing to the ponies as they keep fighting with one another. “Princess Luna was right to call you a monster, Terror!”

I can't help but image a look of confusion as I think,

Isn’t she exaggerating though? Sure I may have given that one pegasus a bloody nose, but it’s hardly the worst I could do. Wait of second, why should I feel bad for these jerks?

Imaging a angry glare at her I say,

“I can hardly feel bad for these jerks; they’re horrible at best! You have the classic bad friend stereotype's for friends!"

I point to each pony as I call out,

"There’s the liar, the killjoy, the rude one, the greedy one, and the one that abandoned you!” I tell her, “Why do you even hang around them?”

“They’re not jerks!” Twilight shouts, but pauses and looks solemnly at the other four bickering ponies behind her. “Or at least they weren’t before today. They used to be the most reliable friends I could have ever asked for. How could you turn them into this? Change them back! Change them back right now or I’ll… I’ll… I don’t know, but I’ll do something bad to you!”

Twilight’s her horn starts to glow a menacing purple.

I respond by aiming my laser gun at her, even though it’s out of juice for now; I hope she doesn’t call my bluff.

There's tense silence as we stare each other, but eventually Twilight relents, "Fine, just stay back Terror, you've done enough damage as it is." She tells me before turning to leave with the others.

I have to try and stop her. She's my only chance of getting back at Discord! Thinking quickly I shout out,

"Wait! I need your help! I...come...in..pe...pea...peace!"

Oh man, that actually hurt! I'm not kidding, it psychically hurt to say that sentence. It felt like my mouth, or whatever I use to talk, was on fire. I really hope that this isn't a sign that I'm becoming more of a Dalek! Please don’t let that be it. I’ve lasted this long without turning, maybe I'm just not used to saying it...I guess. I'll have to worry about it later.

At my request, Twilight just glares harder as she says,

"You want what?! You turned my friends into the biggest jerks on the planet, and yet you want peace!?"

I image a look of confusion as I ask,

"What are you talking about? If what you say is true, and these ponies aren’t normally like this, it must have been Discord’s doing. In fact I saw him do something weird to the Rainbow one before she left!"

It's Twilight's turn to give a confused look as she says,

"Are you sure about that?" she gives me a scrutinizing look as she continues, “Don’t get me wrong, Discord will pay for what he’s done. But you’re still at fault; maybe you’re just trying to pass the blame onto Discord for something you did!"

I growl slightly at the fact that another pony is blaming me for something I didn't do! What is with these ponies and jumping to conclusions!?

"Look lady, you seem like a smart person-er pony. So you have got to realize how stupid you sound right now! Discord played me just like he did to your friends! If I were trying to pull anything sneaky I would have done it by now. Don’t be an idiot!"

Her right eye twitches at my insult, guess I hit a nerve or something. But I ignore it as I continue,

"He wanted me to hit them with my laser, as in zap them. But I physically hit them with my laser nozzle! That was the whole loop-hole thing Discord was talking about. If I had hit them with my actual laser, they would be dead!"

Twilight's eyes widen at this as I keep going,

"I’m not the monster you think I am. I just wanted to go home. And now I want revenge on Discord for lying to me. Please, just help me out here."

Twilight seems to think about this for a second, before she shakes her head and says,

"No, maybe you didn’t do this to my friends, but there's still no way I’d trust you, much less help you after this."

I can feel my skin crawl in frustration with this mare. How am I gonna convince her to help me with anything if she won’t even trust me? I need to find something that will-

Wait a second...

"Lightbulb!" I say in a stroke of brilliance, "I know where the Elements of Harmony are, the whole maze thing was just a distraction, Discord said it himself. He told me where he really hid them, and I’ll even tell you, as long as you let me come with you.”

Twilight's eyes widen at this, but she doesn’t accept right away, no doubt weighing her options and sizing me up.

"How do I know I can trust you? What if it’s another trick to keep us distracted like this dumb maze?" she asks.

I imagine myself smirking, knowing I’ve got her now as I say,

"That's the thing isn't it, you don't know. But it’s either believe what I tell you, or search on your own.”

Hook.

“I had no reason to tell you this, and Discord has practically won already.”

Line.

“So what would you rather risk? Would you rather follow my lead knowing it might be a trap or lead to something, or follow whatever you can scrounge up knowing it will lead to nothing?"

Sinker.

Twilight seems to think this over, before she gives a sigh and reluctantly says,

"Fine! I'll believe you for now. But if I find one reason that you’re lying, then I’m taking you down where you stand!" She then gives a huff before she turns around, wraps her still bickering friends in her magic field, and begins to walk away.

I can't help but think,

And we’ve reeled in the big one ladies and gentlemen! I can't believe that worked. Now I just have to let them get their superweapon back, and revenge will be mine! Watch out Discord...your Extermination is coming.

With that thought, I follow behind the purple pony towards...wherever her tree house is. After I tell her that the Element's are there of course.


My wheels are killing me.

We’ve been walking (rolling in my case) for hours now. Or at least I think it’s been hours, the sky keeps changing from night to day and back again, completely at random.

To make matters worse, the train station back at Canterlot had been transformed into a slow-moving, bubble spewing, candy train.*Insert Charlie and the chocolate factory scene here*. It would probably take days to get to Ponyville if we had climbed aboard. So instead we had to take the roads, and pray that they weren’t made out of soap, or cheese.

Darn it Discord, I know a thousand years is a long time to go without wreaking havoc, but learn where to draw the line!

Just as I think that, a thin blue line is carved across the path in front of me in what appears to be crayon.

I just grumble to myself and trudge onward.

Oh, and let’s not forget the absolute worst part of this long tedious journey…

“Not touching you.” Fluttershy sing-songs in a mocking tone as she holds her hoof out in front of me.

“Twilight, she’s doing it again!” I whine to Twilight.

“Do you want to trade?” she grunts as her slender unicorn body tries to keep Tom, the giant bolder, perched between her and Rarity.

“Can’t you at least use your magic to make them shut up?” I ask.

“Hey, you’re lucky I’m letting you come along at all. And I have yet to see any indication that it was a good idea!” she snaps, clearly under a lot of stress.

I sigh to myself and roll up next to her. “Here…” I say, offering her a chance to tag out. She gladly takes it, and though my wheels grind under the added weight at first, I manage to keep going at a decent pace.

“So…” I try to start a conversation, break the ice and get her to lighten up a bit, “Nice weather we’re having today huh?”

Suddenly a large group of cotton candy clouds swoop down on Twilight and drench her in grape soda.

“Yeah, great.” She deadpans as she shakes herself off and uses magic to wring the sticky liquid from her fur.

“Well then… you have any hobbies you’d like to talk about? Ways you like to pass the time maybe?” I try again.

“Why do you even care? Stop trying to be nice!” she turns around to snap at me, “As soon as we get the Elements back, we’re going to turn you back into stone, and then it’s right back to the Canterlot gardens with you. Capeesh!?”

“But I don’t want to go back there! I wasn’t even supposed to be there in the first place; it was all a mistake!” I argue, “That insufferable Princess Celestia and her intolerance for misunderstandings is the whole reason I was trapped in stone for a thousand years!”

“Don’t you dare talk about the Princess that way!?” Twilight yells at me, making the entire group come to a halt. “Princess Celestia is a kind and caring ruler, she has been as long as I’ve known her! She’s done everything so that her subjects are happy and prosperous! She and Princess Luna were the ones who originally defeated Discord and turned him to stone! How dare you say something like that about her.”

I drop Tom, leaving Rarity to fuss over him, as I get right in Twilight’s face.

“Did she tell you about the first time we met, in the Crystal Empire all those years ago?” I ask, my voice straining to stay level.

“Princess Luna told me that you’re the reason it vanished.” Twilight answered, “She said that if it weren’t for you, it would still be here today, along with a couple thousand innocent ponies. Instead they’re gone forever!”

“Oh, is that right?” I say with a snort, “Did she also tell you about how I was fighting against him before they arrived? Did she ever tell you that I never even knew there was a curse in place that would turn the kingdom to smoke if the King ever died?” I ask, to which Twilight looks taken aback.

“No? I wouldn’t think so. And she definitely wouldn’t tell you about how they blasted me to stone on the spot, never even giving me time to explain myself.” I push the point home.

“Th-that’s not true. That can’t be true; the Princesses wouldn’t do something like that unless you really were evil.” Twilight dismisses my claims.

“Yeah? Or maybe your Princesses aren’t as great as you think they are.” I tell her.

“Celestia certainly has a habit of toying with us, doesn’t she?” Fluttershy remarks.

“I don’t see why she gets all the attention, they’re not funny at all.” Pinkie adds.

“Well shoot, ah think them Princesses er the best ponies in all of Equestria!” Applejack says, clearly lying if her eyes are anything to go by.

“Tom is covered in dirt!” Rarity screams.

“Hey, piss off! No one asked any of you!” I tell them off.

“Don’t talk to my friends like that!” Twilight yells at me in turn.

“I WILL TALK TO ANYPONY ANY WAY I WANT!” I scream in my Dalek voice, causing the ponies to clap their ears in pain “CELESTIA WAS, AND IS A SNEERING IMPERIALIST WENCH! AND YOU’RE FRIENDS ARE HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PONIES!”

“Shut up!” Twilight yells and blasts me into Tom with her magic.

“Get off my precious diamond!” Rarity screams and bucks me sideways.

I land on Applejack who does the same, then Pinkie who shoves me again. The next thing I know I’m being tossed and shoved back and forth between them like a mosh pit, each of them ignoring my pleas for them to stop until finally…
“Have a nice trip.” Fluttershy sticks out her hoof, “See you next fall!” she adds as I fall into a section of road made of banana pudding.

“ENOUGH!” I can feel myself starting to lose it as I hover above them all, pointing my laser at each of them in turn. “I’ve had it with all of you! Fluttershy, stop being mean. Pinkie Pie, lighten up. Rarity, that’s a bolder not a diamond. Applejack, stop lying, you suck at it. And Twilight, we’ll continue our discussion on exactly how bad Celestia is later. NOW SHUT UP AND BE QUIET OR I WILL TURN THIS QUEST AROUND!”

I breathe heavily in my suit and wait for anyone foolish enough to challenge my authority.

“Shutting up and being quiet are technically the same thing.” Twilight points out.

And just like that, all self-control is gone.

“RAAAAAAAGGHHH!” I yell at the top of my lungs as I ram into Twilight (well, more like a forceful nudge), causing her to stumble backwards into Tom, and thus the mosh pit begins anew.

“You ruffians just can’t stay away from my Tom, can you?!” Rarity yells as she rolls him away from the action.

But unfortunately, she didn’t look where she was rolling him. A circular spring-loaded bumper was right in her way, and she and Tom were sent flying backwards with a loud *Sproing* the second they made contact with it. (Insert the bumper item from super smash bros. here)

While the rest of us were caught up in our rough-housing, we didn’t even notice until it was too late, and three tons of rock and pony came crashing into us, knocking us all off the side of the mountain path screaming.

Each of us were tumbling head over hooves and wheels, I was unable to stabilize myself enough to fly while at least two of them were hanging onto me for dear life.

It all came to an end when we landed in a tree growing out of the side of the cliff.

“Is everypony okay?” Twilight asked, quickly scanning the tree’s branches.

“Nah Twi, I reckon everypony else fell to their deaths.” Applejack says, even though everypony is clearly present and relatively unharmed.

“Wow Applejack, dark much?” I comment as I poke my head out of the leafs.

Twilight lets out a sigh of both relief and annoyance before taking a look around. “Well at least everyone’s okay. But how are we going to get down from here?”

As if to answer her question, the tree turned into a giant cannon, engulfing us all in its barrel as the fuse lit itself.

“You just had to ask.” Pinkie tells her right before the cannon fires with a loud bang, sending us flying off into the distance.


Several terrifying minutes and a lot of screaming, we finally see the ground come into view.

“Brace yourselves everypony. I don’t think this is going to end well!” Twilight screams as we all spiral towards the-

*Splat!*

Ground made of whipped cream and fluffy mattresses?

Twilight is the first to pull herself out of the pit of whipped-creamy goodness and shake herself off, quickly pulling the rest of friends out with her magic. She gasps at something in the distance. “Hurry everypony, we’re almost there!” she tells her friends before galloping off.

I groan and grumble as I try to pull myself out as well, but when I finally manage to reach solid ground on the edge of the pit and am about to follow the mares, I hear a familiar mocking laughter.

I whip around to find the source and hopefully give him a good blasting, only to find that there’s no trace of him, and his laughter is seemingly coming from everywhere at once, even inside my own head.

“Reveal yourself!” I yell “REVEAL! REAVEAL! I WISH TO EXTERMINATE YOU IN A PAINFUL MANNER!”

Discord appears in a flash, but chooses to jog right past me. “I’m sorry dear boy, but I have more pressing matters to deal with.”

Oh no you don’t. “EXTERMIN… ate?” I try to fire my laser at him, only for it to spit out a shower of sparks and a few gobs of whipped cream.

“Oh my, you really shouldn’t do that in public.” He wags his finger at me, “This is supposed to be family friendly entertainment after all.”

“Grrr, why is half the stuff you conjure up food anyway? I mean now we have cheese roads, candy clouds that make chocolate milk rain, flipping clocks made of pizza; what’s the deal?!” I yell in frustration, really because I can’t think of anything else to say to him as I shake my laser clean.

“Well excuse me for building up an appetite while being, oh I don’t know… trapped in stone?” he says, his cheerfully posh demeanor taking a dark turn. “Now… I need to make sure it never happens EVER again.”

And with that he’s gone.

I can't help but make a robotic gulp as I think,

Man, he seemed pretty serious there. That’s not good. He’s only serious when he’s about to be ‘serious’-ly evil. I need to find those ponies and warn them!


I zig and zag as fast as I can around all the silliness happening in this town; chaos capital of the world is right, I can’t even find any street signs. I wonder if they even existed in this world to begin with (yet another thing I never asked about but probably should have). But that’s not the point! The point is I’m completely lost and I can’t-

Are… are those rabbits? What’s up with their legs; rabbits aren’t supposed to have giraffe legs. Well at least I can see the herd coming so I can get out of the way.

I quickly and easily roll out of the way of their path with plenty of time to spare.

Man it’s good I saw them coming. It would bang me up good if I got run over by them.

Just as I’m about to leave though, I hear something in the distance.

“Mom? Big Bro? Anyone?! Everything’s different!”

I turn around to see a colt in sunglasses stumbling around, he’s on the ground feeling his way forward, right into the path of the giraffe-rabbits!

“Hey get out of the way, they’re coming right for you!” I warn him.

His head springs up and his ears swivel around, but he doesn’t move away. Instead he wanders even more directly into the path of the rampaging herd.

Without thinking I rush over to the colt as fast as I can, barely getting the lead on the rabbit herd. As soon as I arrive I shove him to the side and yell “CHANGE LOCATIONS INFERIOR LIFEFORM, VACATE THE PATH!”

We both hit the dirt and the herd stampedes by with only a few nanoseconds to spare, I hover back up and glare down at the colt.

“What’s the matter with you; are you insane? You were about to die back there.” I yell at him, more because of shock than actual anger towards him, “Are you blind or something?”

He looks up at me, his sunglasses shattered and the frames barely clinging to his face. And suddenly I feel incredibly bad about my choice of words.

“Actually yes, sorry sir. And thanks for saving me.” he says to me in a innocent tone, “Have you seen my family around here, I lost them, and I’ve got no idea what’s going on.”

“Uh, no. I’m afraid I just got into town.” I answer. And I feel kind of bad for the kid, he’s blind and probably has no idea what’s going on with all the chaos going down. I know I can’t just leave him all alone to stumble into even more danger. “Hey kid,” I ask, knowing I’ll regret this somehow, “You should uh… stick with me until we get everything sorted out.”

“Okay.” He says and reaches out trying to grab at something, thumping his hoof on my metal body a few times. “Hey, where are you?”

“You’re slapping me right now.” I tell him, “That’s my body.”

“Oh.” he nods “No wonder your voice sounded all jacked up! You’re kinda weird you know that?”

This from the kid whose life I just saved. I let out a groan, remembering one of the many many reasons I hate kids. “Right, do you know the way to the library by chance?” I ask and pray he can be useful as he is rude.

“Library? Sure I know where it’s at, I just never go there. Books and me don’t really mix. Now if you can find me something nice to listen to…” he starts to ramble as we get moving. “Uh… you wouldn’t happen to know where we are right now would you? I’m still lost.”

I give him a cursory glance and begin looking for landmarks to describe. And while I try to tell him the surroundings, hoping to find something that was supposed to be where it was, I have to restrain myself from making a joke about the blind leading the blind.


After about what felt like an hour or two of pointing out landmarks and having the foal point the way, we finally managed to get to the library. Apparently we we're only a few blocks away from the place the entire time! It took longer than it should have to find the damn place cause of Discord's chaos turning the town into his own personal playground; everything was either changed into some sort of food or was floating in the fricking air, completely out of control! Not to mention how the roads were turned into soap so it made it harder to just to control our wheels and feet.

Thankfully the foal, who's name I learned was Docky Dare, still managed to point me in the right direction even with all the chaos going on. He was being a great help, but his non-stop rambling was starting to get to me. He just won't shut up! Cartoon characters talk less than this kid! I was almost at my breaking point by the time we arrived, but we luckily got to the library before things could go overboard.

I now find myself staring through the smashed in wooden door of the...tree house in front of me, looking inside at the shelves and tables carved into the living wood. I can't help but give a confused look as I look down at Docky, who has been holding onto my side the whole time.

"Uh...are you sure that this is the library?" I ask, thinking that this is the most illogically built library in the history of libraries.

Docky looks up at me (or at least where he thinks my head is) with a nod before saying,

"Of course Mister! I may not come here often, but my foalsitter comes by here so much when she's watching me, that I memorized the path here."

I give him another confused look as I ask,

"Wait. So your babysiter takes you, a blind kid, to the library on a regular biases?"

He nods his head. "Yeah! I don't know why she comes here so often through. I don't think she actually reads anything because I never hear the librarian check out books for her. It's really confusing, but it's nice to walk around every once in a while so I don't complain."

I just stare at him for a few second before I ask,

"She knows your blind...right?"

Docky nods his head at me, looking as if I just asked the stupidest thing ever. I ignore it as I just shake my head before saying,

"Whatever. Anyway kid, I'm gonna go in there and look around for some...things that have been displaced. I want you to hug this wall and to stay there till I get back, got it?"

The blind foal gives me a nervous look as he asks,

"Uh, are you sure it wouldn’t be safer in there? This place is pretty nuts out here.”

I can't help but sigh at this kids logic. He's right, Discord's chaos is getting worse and worse as time goes on. If I leave him out here he might get attacked by a rabbit version of big foot or something. But if Discord did anything to the Elements to prevent them from being taken back, it could be a deathtrap inside. And if it could harm me, it would definitely be enough to kill Docky.

“Okay, stay right behind me at all times, got it? I don’t know what’s in there.” I tell him, and he jumps onto me, latching onto my robotic backside.

“Right… let’s go then.”

I cautiously make my way through the smashed door frame, expecting the worst to happen at any second.

There’s a rattle on the staircase to my left as several books come falling to the floor, and I immediately whip around, fast enough that Docky loses his grip and falls off.

“Who’s there?!” I yell in a panic. “IDENTIFY!”

“I don’t know mister, I’m blind.” Docky answers and stumbles around a bit.

A mare with a suitcase drags herself slowly and dejectedly down the stairs, oblivious or uncaring t the fact that a Dalek has a laser trained on her.

"Oh just great,” she moans, her head sinking even lower to the floor “ Leave me alone already Terror. Even you couldn’t make today any worse, so destroy whatever you want, I don’t care anymore."

“Wait a second… Tw-Twilight?” I stutter. She looks so different from the last time I saw her. "Twilight! You look..."

"Depressed? Defeated? Hopeless?" she offers.

"I was gonna say grey, but I guess that works too. Did you find the Elements?"

Twilight can’t even find it in herself to glare at me as she says,

"Yes we found them! We tried to use them on Discord when he showed up; he literally painted a target on himself for us. But..."

Twilight stops talking as she just stares off into space, tears building up in her eyes. I give her a good couple of seconds before I move my plunger hand thing in a 'go on' motion. Twilight just sighs as she continues,

"But they didn't work. My friends… our friendship was gone, the Elements are useless. Now they’ve all run off to Celestia knows where." Twilight sighs again before she says, "We can't do anything, Discord won. We lost... I lost."

I just can't help but stare sadly at the poor pony in front of me. The look of pure helplessness starts brings back memories that I'd rather forget. Shaking them off I try to comfort her as I say,

"Hey, it's not all bad. I mean you can just find them and, I don't know, rekindle your friendship or something. How many times have you told me they’re still your friends? They're just...out of it at the moment, right?"

Twilight just stares at me for a few moments before she shakes her head and says,

"They’re not just out of it, they’re gone! Those ponies are not my friends, they're the evil twisted ponies who killed them. That's why I'm leaving town. There's nothing left for me here, Discord can have it for all I care."

With that said, Twilight continues to trudge past me towards the door while I just stare at her in shock, before panic begins to set in as I think,

No no no! If she leaves then there's no chance of me getting home! I gotta stop her!

I quickly roll in front of Twilight. Twilight stops in her tracks and stares at me in confusion as I plead,

"Hey wait! Just because you think Discord has won and all that, doesn't mean he really has. I'll take him down, heck I'll let you step on his ashes and turn his head into a paperweight! You’re the only one left who can get me home! Please just say you’ll help me find a way home!"

Twilight just stares at me sadly as she says,

"How could I help you if I couldn't even save the five friends I cared about most? Face it, Discord won. There's no chance of you going home now."

Her words hit me like a iron block. I just freeze up as he words begin to repeat in my mind over and over again like a broken record. Twilight seems to not notice this as she walks past me, but I don't care. For her words have finally stopped repeating as a new word replaced it.

"Wrong..."

Twilight hears this as she stares at me in confusion, but I don't notice as I repeat,

"Wrong...Wrong...Wrong..."

Before I know what even happened my vision is covered in red as I give into my rage. I scream in pure anger before I begin to hover as well as point at the terrified Twilight and scream,

"WRONG! WRONG! YOU ARE WRONG! IF YOU CAN NOT SEE THAT, THEN YOU ARE USELESS TO ME! DISCORD HAS NOT WON! HE WILL NEVER WIN! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT! DISCORD WILL BE DEFEATED WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR HELP! I WILL STOP HIM! I WILL MURDER, KILL, DESTROY, TERMINATE, EXTERMINATE HIM!"

As soon as my shout is finish I begin to fly away while shouting,

"DISCORD! DISCORD! COME OUT TO PLAY-YAY!"


I continue to hover throughout town looking for Discord, shouting every insult that I can think of at that jerkwad. I've knocked over a few market stands, signs, ponies, but I don't care. I'm hunting me a...whatever Discord is, and nothings gonna get in my way when I fry him alive!

Finally, after more than half an hour of far too long, my prey is in sight. I come across Discord in a sort of scene out of Alice in Wonderland, and Discord is dressed as the Mad Hatter, and some poor mutated bunny is his play mate.

I decide to announce my presence as loudly and disruptively as possible.

"DISCORD HAS BEEN LOCATED! HE WILL NOW BE EXTERMINATED!" I screech.

Discord looks over at me nonchalantly as I aim my death laser at him.

He gains a devilish grin as he waves to me. "Ah, Mister Dalek! Won't you join us? It's lovely out here today isn't it? Chaos is in the air!"

I of course respond in the most respectable way possible... by blasting Discord's stupid hat off! I was actually aiming for his head, but I don't care as I shout in anger,

"You lost me my only way back!"

He yawns while pouring a cup of tea that's upside down, but the tea just falls straight up into it.

"Oh dear, are you still on about that?" Discord asks "I only wanted to have some fun. And I could never do that with Princess Celestia's pesky Elements around. So I may have lied to you a bit; that's no reason to be upset."

I growl at him and ram myself into the table, knocking it over. Discord easily floats out of the way, unlike his poor rabbit companion, who gets nearly flattened by it. Discord chuckles at this before he snaps his fingers and suddenly appears in a different costume.

Discord swoops over to me wearing makeup like Heath Ledger's Joker. And he grins just like him before he asks me,

"Why so serious? Do you honestly think they would have helped you anyway, those ponies? You're nothing but a freak to them, just like me. Why can't you just relax and enjoy the chaos?"

I back off from him and aim my laser at him threateningly. "I'm going to make you pay for all of this Discord! We'll see who's a freak when I've beaten you senseless! They'll probably be so grateful to me, they'll help me find a way home just to say thanks."

I then fire at him again, this time hoping to actually hit him. But he nonchalantly sidesteps it and shakes his head as if he were a parent scolding his child. He then smiles at me before telling me in a matter-of-fact tone,

"Oh I doubt that. You know why? Because if you'll remember, it was Princess Celestia and her sister that imprisoned you in the first place. And if they were to help you, it would mean that they were wrong." Discord chuckles to himself and sets fire to the ground around him for dramatic effect.

"You see my dear Dalek, as evil as I am, it's perfectly okay because it's all according to plan. If somepony told you that Discord, the spirit of chaos was going to unleash Tartarus on the world, ponies might be scared, but it's all perfectly reasonable. But if you told somepony… anypony that Princess Celestia made a mistake?!" Discord gasps and swoons a bit, "Well then everypony would lose their minds!"

I growl at him, but a tiny part of me can't help but see the logic behind his words. If I were to tell ponies that I was wrongly imprisoned by the princess, who are they gonna believe. There beloved rulers, or a random killer trash-can. As Discords words sink in, I feel something...clink in my mind. As if something that I was missing was just put back in place. If I could smile, I would, as I say to him,

"Even if they don't believe me, even if they imprison me for another thousands years. There's still one thing that'll make that all better for me."

“Oh?” Discord leans in with a smirk. "And what could that be?”

I then stare directly at him as I shout,

"HAVING THE JOY OF EXTERMINATING YOU BEFORE IT HAPPENS!” I shout “THE MEMORY OF YOUR DEATH WILL FOREVER BE MY COMFORT IN THE CENTURIES OF STONY SOLITUDE AHEAD! PREPARE TO BECOME THE ASHES!"

With my fear inducing speech out of the way, and pure, unadulterated hatred coursing through me, I charge up my death ray ‘till it’s glowing white and rush towards him.

It’s time to dish out some much needed pain!
