In the school parking lot, a big number of students and teachers including the other elements of harmony entered and crowded around, seeing that Discord was being held down by both Celestia and Luna. Students were taking pictures on their phones.

The crowd including five of the elements looked at Discord with contempt and anger all except for Fluttershy who took pity on him.

Discord was handcuffed as soon as Celestia and Luna got off of him and a guard lifted him off of the ground as if he was a prisoner of war.

Two more guards held down Discord’s arms to prevent him from escaping ; and so the  guards escorted the prisoner through the crowd and towards the school building.

While he walked, Discord could hear the murmurs of the students.

"He’s hideous."

"Look at his yellow eyes; he must have hepatitis."

"Look at his grey hair, it makes him look so old. I wonder how old he is."

"Look at that fang."

"He has a face only a mother could love."

Discord frowned, then looking through the crowd he saw Fluttershy and looked her in the eyes as best he could. 

Fluttershy had on a fearful yet adorable expression, similar to the way she looked when he saw her for the first time.

Discord was mad at her, seeing as how she had betrayed him by letting Celestia know who he was. He then stared at the ground and sighed.

Then Discord with the guards escorting him, was directed into the detention room, located on the first floor of the building.

The bell rang and the students returned to their classrooms, the mane six followed the other students from the parking lot.

"Did you see that weird boy?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "He laughed at the school’s security guards and at two football teams."

"He turned them guards into apple sauce." responded Applejack.

"Poor thing." Fluttershy said softly.

"Don’t be sorry for him Fluttershy." Said Rarity in a serious tone. "He could have really hurt you, physically."

"Yes but," Said Fluttershy lowering her voice.

"It was awesome!" Yelled Pinkie Pie interrupting Fluttershy. "It was also entertaining! First he was running and the guards almost caught him, a-and then we thought we had him cornered but then he jumped out the window and we were like *gasp!* because we thought he was absolutely insane for jumping out of a third story window and then he landed like a cat on his feet and then Dashie ran after him to the fields and then he stole the football then Dashie almost caught him on the soccer field but he knocked her out with that ball and then he thought he was going to be free until Principal Celestia tackled him and then Luna came to help! That was the most thrilling chase I've seen! They're so awesome!"

"Pinkie…..you’re not serious,are you?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"It’s a good thing that Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna had him arrested when they did or he might have gotten away." Said Applejack.

"There's no doubt that they did it before he caused any more trouble." Said Twilight smiling.

"Thank you Ms. Sparkle." Intervened Celestia, slowly approaching them with Luna coming up behind her.

"Principal Celestia!"  All six yelled at the same time. "Vice Principal Luna!"

"Thank you for being so concerned about this trickster since the beginning Ms. Sparkle." Said Celestia smiling kindly.

"You were also very brave, Ms. Dash."  Celestia beamed making Rainbow blush.

"And thank you Ms.Fluttershy, without your testimony we never would have caught the thief."

"Will he be alright?" Asked Fluttershy a bit worried.

"Not to worry." Answered Celestia a bit more serious this time. "Luna and I will talk to him after we take care of some important business."

One hour later in the detention room, Discord was sitting alone and was not making a sound. The detention room was small. In front of him there was a desk with a stack of papers on top of it.

Discord was desperate to get out, since he was a bit claustrophobic.

Just minutes before he tried to escape but his efforts were futile. He soon realized that the door could only be opened from the outside, it was a reinforced door with only one window that had thick glass.

Boredom dominated Discord and he unhesitatingly began to read the pieces of paper that were on top of the desk. They were mental ability tests.

He took out a pencil from his right pocket and began to answer one of the tests.

"I can see that you are enjoying yourself." Said Celestia as she walked into the room followed by Luna. Celestia brought over a chair.

Discord suddenly stopped answering the questions and let the pencil fall back onto the desk. Without saying a word he maintained a serious face.

"I’m sorry for not having brought you a pencil" Said Celestia now sitting in front of Discord. "But I am completely aware that you have one on you."

Discord remained silent and stone faced.

"Where do you live?" Asked Celestia.

Discord continued being silent.

"Do you have any family?" Continued Celestia.

Discord did not say anything, he just looked at the floor.

"Well," Said Celestia taking in a breath of air. "We know your name is Discord and that you are 19 years old."

Discord looked at Celestia shocked.

"It was the only information my investigators could find about you on such short notice."

Discord crossed his arms.

Then Luna intervened.

"Discord," Said Luna reading from a piece of paper. "You have been accused of invading private property, theft, false identity, vandalism….."

Discord listened to Luna but he did not care so he zoned her out.

"Attempt against a prestigious institution," Continued Luna. "Accused of creating a stink bomb in the chemical laboratory and blaming it on students Flash Sentry and Soarin."

Discord could not help but let out a laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Laughed Discord.

Celestia picked up the exam that Discord answered and looked it over. She saw that all of the answers were correct. Astonished by this she got up out of her seat and out of the detention room with the help of a guard that opened the door from the outside. Discord and Luna did not understand why she suddenly left the room.

In less than sixty seconds Celestia came back with an IQ test and a timer. Celestia gave the test to Discord.

"Discord," Said Celestia. "I want you to answer the questions on this test."

Discord began to browse the test.

"Good, there are 60 questions on the test," Said Celestia beginning to wind the timer. " You have 5 seconds maximum to answer each question, so you should…."

Celestia was interrupted, she had not noticed that Discord was already answering the questions on the test.

Celestia looked while Discord quickly answered the questions on the test.

Almost immediately, Discord was done answering the questions on the test.

"I’m finished princess." Said Discord holding up his test.


Celestia looked at how much time had gone by on the timer, it said 30 seconds. Celestia was shocked.

Luna was skeptical and snatched the test from Discord and began looking it over ; all of the answers were correct.

Luna kept doubting Discord’s intelligence, so on a blank piece of paper she began to write a hard math equation that only she knew the answers to.

Luna gave the paper to Discord and he began to look it over.

He immediately began to solve the equation. Luna looked it over and saw that the answer was correct.

"How did you manage to solve it?" Asked Luna.

Discord began to explain in detail how he found the answer, Luna could tell that he was not lying about it.

Then Celestia and Luna began to give him more tests, each with a set of difficult questions. Discord responded correctly and in record time.

Luna and Celestia exited from the detention room and went back to the main office and began to converse, they asked the guard to come with them and guard the door.

"I can’t believe it." Said Celestia shocked. "Discord is a genius."

"That boy gives me the creeps sister." Said Luna a bit worried.


"Luna." Said Celestia trying to find reason. "Imagine all we could accomplish if that boy worked for the institution."

"Sister, are you crazy?" said Luna a bit bothered by the idea.

"Aside from being highly intelligent," Insisted Celestia. "he has a good athletic form."

"He is only a bum, a thief and he's evil. He could bring us a lot of trouble in the future." Said Luna.

"Luna, you were once like that too." Celestia said seriously." Remember?"

Luna remained silent and was now ashamed at what she just said.

"Besides," Continued Celestia. "An inner voice is telling me that we should help him."

Luna stayed silent but she listened to what Celestia was saying.

"I have a feeling, just a gut feeling that maybe I have known him for many years."

"What are you planning on doing?" Asked Luna

While they talked this over in the office in the detention room Discord looked out the window of the detention room hoping to escape. Suddenly he saw three girls, they were the cutie mark crusaders. 

Discord knew that this was his opportunity to escape.

"Hello." Said Discord sweetly. "Can you three help me?"

"Hello." Said Apple Bloom. "What do ya need?"

"Can you open the door pretty please?" Said Discord putting on a friendly smile. "My pencil rolled into this room and when I went in to go and get it the door shut behind me."

"Sure!" said Sweetie Belle without questioning him at all.

"Don’t do it!" Said Scootaloo. "Can’t you see he’s in detention?"

Discord began to worry but he quickly came up with an idea.

"But it was an accident"  Said Discord. "I'm not in trouble, I'm the janitor’s assistant."

"Good enough for me!" Said Sweetie Belle.

"No!" Said Scootaloo

"Yes!" Insisted Sweetie Belle.

"Well no!" Responded Scootaloo

"Well yes!" Responded Sweetie Belle.

Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell began to argue more intensely.

Discord was fascinated with these girls. He suddenly looked at Apple Bloom with imploring compassion.

"Could you please, please, please open the door?" Discord said putting on puppy dog eyes.

Apple Bloom let out a sigh and simply opened the door.

"Thank you, you lovely girls." Said Discord happily with a small smile.

Then the cutie mark crusaders left with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle arguing along the way.

Discord was free and without giving it a second thought he went running in the direction of the exit of the school building.

Luna and Celestia came back to the detention room not long after and they saw that Discord had managed to escape the detention room.

"Oh no!" Said Celestia "He's trying to escape the building."

"Don’t worry sister." Said Luna -I've got it all under control."

Meanwhile as Discord ran down the hallway he was shouting and hollering in joy.

"Hahaha! %^&$ all you guys. Go rot in @#$%! Go %$&* yourselves! No one can stop me now!"

Discord continued running and he almost reached the exit.

Upon almost reaching the exit, about ten meters from where he stood, stood the elements of harmony, blocking the exit. Minus Fluttershy who was standing behind Twilight cowering with fear.

Discord looked to his right then to his left, behind him he could tell that there were no guards, it was only him and the mane 6. Discord smiled and thought about his possible advantage.

"So it’s only you guys who will keep me from trying to escape"- Said Discord laughing.

"We will succeed in stopping you from escaping Discord." Said Twilight.

"Wow, you already know my name." Said Discord sarcastically with humor dripping from his voice. - "What are you going to do? Kill me with kindness?"

"You’ll see." Said Applejack

Discord got closer to the 6 girls, walking calmly. The five girls stayed standing in their positions, never letting their guard drop. Fluttershy only stood trembling behind Twilight.

Discord got as close as a meter to Twilight, quickly Twilight and her other four friends got close to him at the same time and they got out their pepper spray and sprayed Discord in the face.

Discord yelled in agony.

"Aaaaugh! My eyes! I can’t see! It burns! I can’t see a thing!"

Suddenly Twilight took out her electric taser and touched it to Discord’s side. Discord was electrocuted and immobilized and he fell face down.

"I like this toy, Rainbow Dash.- Said Twilight giving a small smile.

"It’s cool but be careful with it." Said Rainbow snatching the taser from Twilight.

"Will he be alright?" Asked Fluttershy.

"He does look a bit stiff." Said Applejack

"I think you killed him!" Said Rarity dramatically putting a hand to her forehead.

"What?" Asked Twilight dropping her smile. "These weapons were for self defense."

"Twilight this taser was on max power." Said Rainbow looking down at the taser.

"Oh no" Said Twilight panicking a little. "I could have killed him?"

"No." Said Rainbow. "But you've turned him into a vegetable."

"What!" They rest yelled at the same time. Fluttershy passed out upon hearing this.

"Hahahaha!" Said Rainbow laughing to the point where she started crying. 
Nothing bad happened, Discord simply passed out."

"You big silly!" Said Pinkie Pie. "You caused Fluttershy to faint."

Without wasting time Twilight, and Pinkie carried Fluttershy carefully to the nurse’s office with Rarity leading the way. Meanwhile Applejack and Rainbow Dash carried Discord like a sack of potatoes back to the direction of the main office.
