Tied up

Celestia was looking worried after the golden chariot with the two special agents hiding behind the walls as it flew away to the west. How often has she to send her little ponies into dangerous situations just to maintain the illusion of safety? To sit dormant on her throne of thorns as if nothing of concern happens in Equestria. As long the princess rest her head in Canterlot everything is going in a peaceful trot, had the bards once song and it had stuck with the ponies to this day. No longer she could simply jump into action as she did a few centuries ago. When she had responded to the Parasprites infestation in Fillydelphia, she had to learn once again that her presence in Canterlot was not just a formality. She was bound to her offical schedule, chained by the trust put into her and this time she could not even send her most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle to deal with the situation...
The princess stepped back into her chamber with all the worrisome thoughts as she saw a particular creature in the room floating.
Discord the draconequus, Lord of Chaos and former foe of ponykind and a rather unpleasant new ally. Nonetheless she looked at him with pleading eyes as she begged him:

"Please reconsider your choice Discord. I beg you to deal with the cockatrice on behalf of these poor ponies."

The head of a horse with deer and antelope antler, the slick snake like body, the bat wing and the pegasus wing. His eagle claw and lion paw as well as dragon and a goat leg. All of it turned green in the span of a second and pink polka dots appeared allong with it. His yellow eyes starred at his hands then back at her.

"Looks like I have developed an allergy against being turned into stone, Celestia. Even thinking about it gives me the creeps."

"This is not a laughing matter..."

The pink dots on his body turned into little pink pony-heads with a bubbly mane that start to giggle uncontrollable.

"Pardon me but I believed it was a matter of laughter."

"Discord! You know that they can not get involved..."

A giant poorly made oversized hand puppet of her on Discords claw yelled back at her in her own voice: "...in this! Stop lying to yourself! You should have trust in them like you always had." Discord, back to his natural colors, and the giant hand puppet nodded to each other before he throw it out of the window. The puppet screamed in fear before it hit the castle ground: "How could you betray me like that..."

"In any case"- Discord said after the last gasp of the puppet was silenced -"If you send me after her sister I will tell them. You are lucky if I donĀ“t do it anyway."





Great, just great. She was sitting next to the most unpleasant pony she had ever forced to work with. Still they could see Canterlot sitting on the mountain. What had Celestia thought how that will turn out? That they just become a good team? The overall situation hit Sweetie Drops on the stomach. She starred at the Alicorn Amulett in her hooves and remembered the day Trixie came to Ponyville with one of them around her neck. How it slowly turned her mad the longer she had used it. She was not going to use it.
Of course, the worst part of the task was Daring Do. The arrogant agent that never finished her job. She had become popular due her books and every little filly knows about her. How are they going to work this out at least subtle with all the attention she and her alias A.K. Yearling are getting by the puplic? So they flew towards the last known location of their target.
