//------------------------------// // A new Friend... Or is it? // Story: Grandchildren of Discord // by MLPRainbowHeart //------------------------------// " Okay everypony! It's time to open the presents!" Fluttershy said with her sweet voice as everyone gathered around the tree. Everypony except Identity. She was in a corner too busy thinking about Caramel's thoughts. Now she had to avoid him. She didn't wanted too but, well she had too. Sometimes she wished not to have those powers. Anyways, Screwball was giggling in a corner talking to Mothball who had a surprised expression in his face. " They were what?!" He said trying to process the kiss. " Yep. " Screwball said with a smile, but it changed into a sad face. A tear started to fall down from her face. " Hey, why are you crying?" Mothball said lifting up her face. " It's just, they grow so fast. " Screwball said. Mothball gave her an innocent smile and hugged her. " I know, but just look at them. They are gonna have a great life, specially with you being their mother." He said and smiled. Screwball sniffed and nodded. " And you, being their father Mothball. I'm really glad you are mine." She said and smiled. " And I'm glad you are mine." Mothball said giving her a kiss with his nose. Screwball giggled. Discord was about to call his daughter but he saw the childish scene the married couple were having and smiled. " I haven't seen that type of smile since long ago." Fluttershy said smiling at Discord. " I know, but just look at them!" Discord said. Fluttershy looked as they both giggled. She smiled. " She is not a filly anymore. Or our grandchildren." Fluttershy said. Discord sighed and nodded. " Hey! Presents aren't gonna wait forever!" Fluttershy said to the childish couple as they realized she was looking at them. They both blushed and went with the others. " Where are the twins?" Discord said. " And R.H.?" Velvet said. " Let's say they are having fun." Screwball said with a smile. " Wait, and Identity?" Mothball said. Velvet pointed at Identity who was in the couch with her eyes closed. She wasn't sleeping but she was thinking. " Hey Dity, you okay?" Discord said sitting by her side. " Ya Gram." Identity said. " Are you sure?" Discord said. " Yes" Identity said getting kind of annoyed. Discord decided to take this to another level. He took her tail and hanged her upside down. " HEY! Gram! Get me down!" Identity said flapping her wings, but it was useless. Discord with a smile started tickling her. " Ahaha- stop- ahahah- please---ahaha!" Identity said with a few tears of laughter. DJ heard the laughter and looked back. He smiled at Identity, she was being so childish, but cute. " Not until you tell me what's wrong!" Discord said smiling. Still in laughter Identity tried to talk. "Ahahah- no-nothing! Ahhaha- please-ahaha- I beg you-- put me- ahahha- DOWN!" She said but at the last part she shouted. Discord got surprised by this and decided to let her go. Identity brushed her main and sighed. " Thank you." She said getting out the door. But as soon as she found herself outside she remembered something. Caramel was there. She quickly went to enter but something stopped her. She felt as somepony was grabbing her tail. She looked back and expected it to be caramel. But it wasn't Caramel. It was.. she couldn't see. But the pony was dark. Quickly the pony turned into a.. shadow? It looked like a shadow. It started dragging her away. " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP!" Identity said before being dragged into the Ever Free Forest. Caramel who was sitting in a tree heard Identity's screams. He quickly went were Identity last was. " Dity!? " He shouted. " Dity, is this a prank? It's not funny!" He said getting terrified. " Identity I mean it!" He last shouted. He decided he needed to get help. But he couldn't go in the house because he was a vampire. Wait, Discord and Chaotic knew he was a vampire. And Mothball. He quickly went to the window and started to make a few sounds. the couple who were still kissing looked at the window. " Caramel?" Chaotic said. He opened the window as Caramel went in the room. Rainbow Heart let out a squeak and a jump. " Don't worry, it's still the Caramel we know and love." Chaotic said with a smile when he noticed Caramel's worried face. " Your sister! I was in a tree when I hear her scream! " Caramel said. " WHAT!?" Chaotic said. " I couldn't find her!" Caramel said. " But her voice faded in the Ever Free Forest!" " We need to find her!" Rainbow Heart quickly shouted. Caramel and R.H. flied out the window when they heard Chaotic, who cleared his throat. " Umm, Forget anything?" he said showing he didn't have any wings. " Right." R.H. said. Chaotic rolled his eyes and with his chaotic magic he elevated himself. " Lets go!" He shouted getting out the window. The other two followed him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Everything was dark. She didn't remember what happened or where she was. She looked around only to find herself in a chair and in a black room. Something started walking toward her. " Hello." The pony said. " Who- who are you? Where am I?" Identity said. " I can only answer one of those questions." The pony said. Identity looked closer. The pony was dark grey with purple mane. Was it her brother playing a prank on her? " Chaotic it's not funny!" Identity said. " Huh?" The pony said coming out of the shadow.Her mane was purple indeed. And her coat was dark grey, but it wasn't Chaotic. Actually, it was a mare. At the tip of her mane it was dark blue with tiny white dots, like it was sparkling. The tip if her hair was also moving, like the princess's mane. She was a unicorn, but her horn went from grey to red. Her eyes instead of white, they were green, and the color of her eyes were red. From them a purple smoke was coming out of them. In her neck she had some type of necklace, but it was really big. It was more like an armor. Her hooves had the same color of the armor, and the same pattern. It looked like boots but again they looked like armor too. Her cutiemark were crystal gems. Red crystal gems to be precise. " My name is Shadow." She said looking at the pony. Soon the two mares found were staring at each other. Shadow looked at a paper. " You are not part of the main six.." She said. " The main what now?" Identity said confused. " My big pardons." Shadows said getting Identity untied. " Why did you tie me up?" Identity said stretching her wings. Shadow couldn't tell her about the plan. But as soon as she saw her more she noticed her changeling parts and thought she was a changeling. She didn't exactly knew how changelings looked but she looked like one, there was only one way to be sure. " Do you have powers?" Shadow said. Identity thought for some seconds. Then she used her powers until changing back to herself again. " Oh my!" Shadow said. So she was a changeling! Her father was going to be very proud about her finding someone else for the team. " I know, I'm pretty awesome." Identity said. Shadow giggled. " I'm Identity." She said giving a hoof to Shadow. " I'm Shadow, as you already know." Shadow said smiling and giving her a hoof too. " What's up with your eyes?" Identity said. " Not saying they are bad, I mean look at mines!" Shadow smiled and thought her eyes were weird too. " Well they are like my father's." Shadow said." But I cant turn them off, just like my father!" " Awesome, I bet your father is really cool!" Identity said. " Yes, well sometimes." Shadow said. " Huh?" Identity said. " Forget it." Shadow said. " Follow me, you must be hungry." Identity nodded and followed her new friend. Or was it her new friend? ________________________________________________________________________________ The three ponies were walking in the Everfree forest. They kept walking until they faced two roads. One one to the right and one went to the left. They all looked at each other. " Where to go, right or left? " R.H. said. " Right. " Chaotic said. " How are you so sure?" Caramel said following him right. " Twin-thingi-sense." Chaotic said. Rainbow Heart giggled. " Wait, what if our parents ask about us?" She said. " Oh darn!" Chaotic said and cast a spell. " What did you do?" Caramel asked. " They all think we are sleeping." Chaotic said. Rainbow and Caramel nodded and kept walking, but what they all didn't know is that they had somepony following them. " Is that, my sister?" DJ said hiding in the bushes. He looked at Caramel and gave a tiny squeak. " A vampire pony!" DJ said. " Okay anyway, Identity is lost and they are looking for her? I will follow them, well I'm already following them." _________________________________________________________________________________________________ " Father! Look, I know your busy but I need to show you something." Shadow said entering a dark room. She had told Identity to stay out. " I hope it's Important Shadow." " It is. I found a female changeling who can be part of our plan, father." Shadow said. " A changeling? Hmm, bring her to me" " Yes father." Shadow said getting out the room. " So?" Identity said. " He wants to see you." Shadow said. Identity nodded and entered the room with Shadow. Everything was dark and Identity couldn't see. Suddenly red torches lighted up around a throne. Sitting in the throne was this particular pony. He had grey coat and black mane. His mane moved like the princess's mane. He had a long horn with red at the end. His eyes were like Shadow's eyes. He had armor like Shadow's only this time almost covering his whole body. In his back he had a red cape, like a king. He had long sharp teeth and a crown. Greetings, come closer so I can see you." " Yes-yes sir." Identity said now scared for his deep scary voice. When she got closer the pony took a close look at her and growled. " You are not a changeling.." " No, I'm part changeling, part pony, well and part draconequus." Identity said not daring to look at him. I see.. The voice sounded less disappointing. Meet me tomorrow here at 2. My Shadow will go for you. Tell no pony." " Yes. Sir-" Identity said. " Sombra." Identity nodded and went out the door with Shadow. When they were outside a loud sound was heard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ " Wooooow." The three said looking at the tiny but dark castle. It was surrounded by red torched. A little bit further DJ was as surprised as them. " Is she here?" R.H. said. Then a familiar voice was heard. " Definitely!" Chaotic said running inside the castle ad the other two followed him. Then they found themselves trapped in a net. They could not move or use a spell. Then two voices came from the dark. " Can I do it?" A familiar voice said. " Yes." A strange voice said. " Who dares to pass here?" The familiar voice said. " No, with a scary voice. At the count of 3 we jump out of the dark and say it okay?" The unknown voice said. " 1,2,3!" Suddenly two ponies jumped out of the dark. " Who dares to pass here?!" They both said. Then they both gasped. Shadow stared at the ponies and Identity ran to them. " Guys! What are you doing here?!" She said. " Wetierdtoosvaeyuo." Chaotic tried to say but he was too tight. Shadow giggled and let them go. They all yelled before hitting the floor. Chaotic rubbed his head and sat down. " As I tried to say, We were trying to save you, we heard you scream." Chaotic said. " IIIIII heard you scream." Caramel said letting the I very clear. " Whatever, but what are you doing here?" R.H. said. Shadow who snapped out of staring at the ponies explained. " It was a mistake, I took her by accident. Now we are good friends." She explained. " So you wanted to kidnap another pony?" R.H. said sarcastically. Shadow rolled her eyes. " No!" She said annoyed. " But It seems like I found two changelings! " She thought. Chaotic and Identity looked at each other confused. Suddenly D.J. came in. " DJ? " R.H said. " This place is awesome!" D.J. said when he noticed Shadow with a growling look on her face. " Don't worry, he is my brother." R.H. said. Shadow was still insecure, since she didn't know any of this ponies. " Who are you ponies?" She said raising an eyebrow. "I'm Chaotic. Identity's brother." Chaotic said with his friendly smile. " I'm Rainbow Heart. But you can call me R.H." R.H. said with her same typical smile. " And I'm Caramel." Caramel said kind of annoyed that several ponies were seeing him as a vampire. " Don't forget me, I'm D.J." DJ said proudly. Identity rolled her eyes. Suddenly there was a running sound coming from outside. Mothball was the first to enter the castle with a worried look. " Dad!?" Both twins said at the same time. Shadow growled again until she saw it was a changeling. She started walking back when she saw the other ponies coming. After Mothball Screwball appeared besides him. Then Fluttershy, and finally Discord. All of the teens gasped including Shadow. She had never seen this creature or knew what it was. " We were worried sick for you!!!" Discord said angrily. " What is this place??" Fluttershy said looking around. " What were you thinking?!" Screwball said. "You'r so in trouble!!" Mothball shouted. " Wait, what about my spell??" Chaotic said. " You can't put a spell on your family." Discord said. Chaotic looked at the floor. Shadow kept walking back until she bumped with the door. She heard her father getting out of his throne. She gasped and looked at the family. " You need to go!! NOW!!" She said. " You don't command us! " Discord said. " Wait, that filly, she looks so much like, somepony but I can't put my hoof on it..." Fluttershy said. " Please! You have to go!" Shadow said worried. " I know.. I have seen somepony like that.. but who?" Discord said. Suddenly the door in which Shadow was standing went open. Pushing shadow behind the door as she closed her eyes in fear. Both Fluttershy and Discord gasped in horror as they saw who was coming out of the door. They knew exactly who it was... " So-Sombra?...." Fluttershy said showing her terrified self hiding in her mane, which she didn't do after she met Discord. Discord saw this and gasped quietly, his wife never did that anymore. He knew she was completely terrified. " Sombra.." Discord said looking angrily at Sombra. " Well..well..well. Look who we have here." Sombra said. He gave them and evil smile and whispered. "I'm going to enjoy this.
