//------------------------------// // The Trap That Bonds // Story: The Tag Team From Tartarus // by PonySage86 //------------------------------// Chrysalis sits on her throne, in the throne room of the hive, her hind legs are crossed over each other and her fore hooves are sitting on the chairs arm rests. Chrysalis ponders why she made her throne so she could comfortably stand on her hind legs, when she's interrupted by a giant lollipop and licorice chandelier bursting through the ceiling of her throne room. Dangling from the chandelier is a Tirek piñata, some bats come out of no where and beat the Tirek piñata until it bursts open and Discord falls out landing on his legs as he hits the ground. He brushes some popcorn off his shoulder as he glares at Chrysalis, who just looks bored. "You know I have a door right?" Chrysalis asks raising an eyebrow and a hoof at Discord. Discord gestures to himself and then to the door, his own eyebrow raised up. "Right, right, nonsense I forgot. So what can I do for you Discord? Did you rethink my proposal?" "No I have not." Discord says taking a step toward Chrysalis. "I just came to ask what is wrong with you?" "Wrong with me?" Chrysalis puts a hoof to her chest in mock hurt. "What ever could you mean?" "You summoned Tirek!?" Discord exclaims thrusting his arms in air of emphasis. Chrysalis just looks at him bored again. "What of it?" Chrysalis asks dully. "Your spy network must really suck if you don't know why that's a bad idea." Discord says face palming, Chrysalis looks annoyed at this comment, Okay so my information network was lacking a bit until recently. Chrysalis looks over in the corner of the room at the thin frame of Captain Night Fly, who is standing at attention. I don't know who she talked to at the spa to get all that information about the elements and Discord, but I guess it doesn't matter. Chrysalis looks back at Discord. "I know everything I need to know about Tirek, to know he can be of assistance to me." Chrysalis says a grin on her face. "You don't know anything." Discord says narrowing his eyes at her, Chrysalis sends Discord her own glare. "I know more then you know." Chrysalis says a sinister smile on her face, Discord doesn't seem to get her meaning. "Yeah, you know something i'll never know." Discord Smirks, Chrysalis raises an eyebrow. "How to suck. Boom!" Discord starts laughing hysterically, while Chrysalis starts grinding her teeth. "Very funny Discord." Chrysalis hisses at Discord, her eyes go half lidded and a smile appears on her face. " I bet Fluttershy finds you hilarious." Discord's mouth clamps shut and his eyes dart at the Queen. "What did you say?" Discord's surprise is obvious in his voice. Chrysalis smirks at him. Everyone has a weakness Discord, and I've found yours. "Yes that adorable little friend of yours." Chrysalis stands up from her throne and begins walking toward Discord. "Of course that's all she is isn't she." "Y-yes..." Discord stammers, Chrysalis reaches the bottom of the stairs and begins walking in a circle around Discord. "Yes that's all she is, but that's not all you want her to be." Discord's eyes widen. "But you can never have her, you know that." "Shut up!" Discord shouts turning his head to look at Chrysalis as she continues walking around him. "Touch a nerve did I?" Chrysalis laughs. " But it's true look at all you've done, the taking over of Equestria, several times, what you did to her and her friends when you first met." Chrysalis smiles. " Joining Tirek." Discord clenches his fist's. "Fluttershy's already forgiven me, she knows the truth!" Discord shouts, bearing his fangs at Chrysalis. Chrysalis returns with a sinister smile. "Does she now? Let's see you met me in the woods, and then I stole a book right out from under their noses, and used it to summon in old friend of theirs, some on your quite acquainted with." Discord growls. "But what matters most isn't weather Fluttershy believes you it's the others, all they know is that I have gathered a villain or two and you're nowhere to be seen." Discord's eyes widen. "Oh no." Chrysalis laughs at Discord. " Yes 'oh no' indeed! How long will Fluttershy continue to believe in you when no one else does, they'll turn on you before you know it." Chrysalis leans over and whispers into his ear. "And Fluttershy will join them." Chrysalis teleports just as a lion's paw swipes through the air where her face had been. Discord glares at the changeling queen who is back in front of her throne. "I'll defeat you and capture Tirek!" Discord grinds his teeth and clenches his fist's. "Then they'll never doubt me again." Chrysalis throws her head back in a laugh. " You really think stopping me will make anypony truly trust you?!" Chrysalis laughs, before glaring back down at Discord her eyes burning. "Then by all means." Chrysalis launches into the air, her fore hooves from the 'elbows' burst into green fire revealing two dark green blades where her hooves should have been. Chrysalis screams at the top of her lungs at Discord "GO AHEAD AND TRY!!!!!" "Look's like someone's learned some ne- OH SHIT!" Discord jumps out of the way as Chrysalis's new blade arms crash into the ground where he had just been. Her hooves still driven into the ground Chrysalis glares up at Discord with a sinister smile on her face. Suddenly she disappears, reappearing behind Discord she swings her left blade at his head. Discord throws up his lion paw to block it, just before the blade hits Discords arm his paw turns to diamond and the blade makes a little tink sound as it hits the gem. Growling Chrysalis kicks him in the back of the head sending Discord hurtling toward the wall. Instead of hitting the wall Discord fly's through the wall reemerging underneath Chrysalis he delivers a punch with his eagle talon that is now made of titanium right to Chrysalis's gut sending her hurtling up through the air causing her to crash into the chandelier Discord had summoned earlier. Chrysalis smashes right through the giant confection hitting the some how un-damaged ceiling, lifting off the ceiling she hovers slightly glaring down at Discord. Placing her hind hooves on the ceiling Chrysalis bends her knees and pushes off the ceiling while flapping her wings, launching herself at Discord. Discord throws up his hands to catch her blades, but she vanishes just before impact reappearing behind him, when he quickly snaps around she's already gone, appearing above him Chrysalis kicks him in the top of the head with both her hind legs sending him straight down toward the ground. Stopping himself before hitting the ground he glances back up at the changeling Queen, who returns his gaze with a smirk. "How do you like that Discord? I'm faster then when we last met." Chrysalis mocks down at him, Discord huffs back. "I guess I underestimated you." Discord admits, Chrysalis grins at this statement. "Just something we have in common." Discord raises an eyebrow at her, Chrysalis continues her voice becoming cold. "Ponies always underestimate people like you and me, weather it's our fighting ability." Chrysalis gestures to herself. "Or how good we can be inside." She gestures toward Discord a smirk on her face. "All they see is a villain." Discord growls up at her bearing his fangs, but his eyes show is belief in her words, Chrysalis smiles when she looks at his eyes. "Well they'll see what I can really do, I'll make them." Discord says looking down at his hands. "I have to." "Funny that sounds like something a villain would say." Discords eyes snap up to glare at the Chrysalis, who still has that smirk on her face. Discord snaps his fingers and two giant polka dotted logs appear on each side of Chrysalis smashing toward her, her blades transform into saw blades as she holds them to her sides cutting the logs in half so that when they collide they only hit each other, not her. Chrysalis fly's up through the hole in the logs. When she fully emerges she glances around for her opponent, suddenly Discord appears right in front of her face, her reflexes kick in and she slashes out with her left blade. Her blade arm cuts through Discord's torso with no effort at all, Chrysalis's eyes widen at the Draconequus who explodes into cotton candy shortly after her blade exited his body. Chrysalis looks down at her blade, cotton candy flesh and chocolate milk blood dripping off it, confused she shakes her blade clean. Suddenly her ears perk up as she hears a familiar laugh, turning to look at the ground, her eyes widen again, as she sees the throne room full of dozens of Discords all laughing up at her. Chrysalis opens her mouth to speak but is suddenly cut off by a large rubber mallet hitting her in the back of the head sending her flying down toward the ground. Another Discord swats her from the side with a giant fly swatter, sending her into another Discord her slams her back into the sky with a candy cane, but before the next Discord can hit her with a cactus, Chrysalis teleports out of the way back to her throne. The Discord's all turn to look at her smug grins on all their faces. "You challenged a chaos god." The Discords all gesture to the other Discords in the room. "This is what you get." Chrysalis glares at them, she dashes forward and slashes at the nearest Discord with her right blade, he blocks her blade with a diamond coated paw. Another Discord swings his talon hand at her and she blocks it with her left hand, another Discord hits her back with his rubber mallet, Chrysalis struggles to stay on her feet, wincing in pain she teleports once more. Chrysalis appears in the middle of the air and immediately blocks a paw from another Discord, her back legs transform into blades as well, Chrysalis begins swinging all of her blades wildly blocking blows from Discords attacking her from all directions, she can't block them all she feels some blows make contact on her back, chest and non blade parts of her legs. Chrysalis's angry burns through her body, building to it's climax she releases a huge wave of green energy blowing all the Discords away, as they regain their composure Chrysalis half fly's half falls down to the ground, she pants heavily her back legs returning to normal, her knees buckle under her weight. She glares at the Discords her face coated in sweat her hair obscuring much of her face, the Discords all smirk at her. "You think your funny don't you!?" Chrysalis shouts, her eyes burning with Hatred. The Discords all look at each other nodding their heads. A smile appears on Chrysalis's face, she tilts her head back and laughs, the Discord's faces all turn to one of confusion. "What's so funny?" The Discord's all ask in unison, Chrysalis stops laughing and look at the Discords. "You say you want to change. You say you want to be friends. You say your not a villain anymore." Chrysalis's gaze turns harsh and her smile turns wicked. "Yet hear you are beating on a woman fifty to one." "B-but you-" The Discord's all begin, but Chrysalis cuts them off. "Look at yourselves especially the original." All the Discord's look amongst themselves and shrug. "Your uninjured." The Discord's eyes widen. "Now look at me." The Discord's all gasp as they see the bruises all over her body and the crooked condition of her wings. "I-i'm sor-" The Discord's begin, but Chrysalis continues. "Don't apologize Discord it's unbecoming of a villain of your caliber." The Discords glare at her. "Besides I'm not some weak little girl, although this should give your little element friends something to think about." Chrysalis laughs. "If you can do this to someone as powerful as me." Chrysalis spits some green blood onto the floor, her wings then burst into green flames and reform as unbroken hummingbird wings, the wings beat ridiculously fast lifting Chrysalis into the air. She glares hard at the Discords, bearing her teeth in a wide grin. "What could you do to them?!" Chrysalis dashes forward moving nearly three times faster then she ever has, her blades cut through Discord after Discord, but none of them can compete with her speed. Soon Chrysalis stands alone in the throne room cotton candy and chocolate milk are scattered across the floor. Chrysalis pants heavily, her wings and legs return to their normal state, she glances around the throne room, suddenly she feels a cool claw grip her neck and slam her against one of the pillars in the room. She faces her attacker and glares into the red and yellow of Discord. He glares back at her bearing his teeth. "You were holding back!?" Discord shouts tightening his grip on her neck. "You were just trying to make me angry so I'd go all out! Why!?" Chrysalis laughs causing her to cough up green blood, Discord's glare intensifies. "Your smarter then you look." Chrysalis wheezes. "Why did you do this what are you trying to do!?" Discord screams, his talon starts to drip green blood, Chrysalis smiles at Discord blood streaming from her mouth. "More importantly what are You trying to do Discord." Chrysalis coughs again, Discord's glare doesn't let up as he raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" Discord growls at her, Chrysalis looks at Discord her hair in her face, her eyes shining with triumph. "Look at yourself Discord." Chrysalis's horn glows and a mirror appears next to them. "Really look at yourself." Discord looks out the corner of his eye and then back at Chrysalis, his eye flicks back to the mirror and turns to look at the reflection. "What?" Discord looks at the sight in the mirror and what he sees horrifies him, their he stands a giant creature, his fur and feathers standing on edge, his teeth sharp and jagged, his eyes angry and piercing. I look feral. Discord's eyes wander to the other creature in the picture, while large the changeling queen is still smaller then the creature pinning her to the pillar her neck and mouth dripping green blood, her body covered in large sores and bruises that have begun bleeding, her wings bent and cracked. "I wonder what Fluttershy would say about this?" Discord's eyes widen as he glances back at the changeling queen her eyes are hidden behind her cobweb hair, but he can see a small bloody grin on her face. His eyes lower as he imagines Fluttershy's beautiful eyes streaming tears down her face. Discord loosens his grip on Chrysalis letting her fall to the ground, she lands on her flank and massages her neck with her left fore hoof. Discord looks down at her his eyes full of regret his mouth curved into a frown. "Chrysalis I'm..." Discord screams in pain as he feels a sharp blade pierce his back, his head jerks to look behind him at the source of his pain. Discord's eyes widen as he sees lord Sombra standing behind him his left hoof holding the hilt of a large black and red knife, a sinister grin on his face. Discord's mouth falls open as he stares at lord Sombra "W-what are you doing here?" "Smarter then you look but still an idiot." Discord turns at the sound of Chrysalis's voice just as she punches him in the chest sending him flying. He doesn't fly that far but he does land on his back causing the blade in his back to be pushed further into his body, do to his tube like body the blade is poking through his front as well as protruding from his back. Discord looks down at the tip of the blade poking through his belly. "Huh... well that.... hurts?" Discord's eyes widen. "So that's what pain feels like?! ..... I don't like it." "Not many people do." Discord looks up at the dark voice of the lord of shadows standing over him. Sombra's got a evil glint in his eyes and a sinister smile on his face, he pulls Discord's head off the ground, with his right fore hoof, bringing him up to eye level. "You know Discord I've always wanted to make a god bleed." "Guess you got your wish." Discord growls at Sombra, he glances down at the wound on his chest. Discord had been wounded before in fights against other powerful beings like Celestia or Chrysalis, but they had never truly hurt him and the blood if he had bleed during the fight was just chaos magic not his real blood, Discord had long pondered if he even had blood, turns out he didn't. Discord looks at the strange golden energy flowing out of his stab wound, it flows down his body like blood but it just looks like magic energy similar to the glow on a unicorns horn. It hurt for Discord to move or even breathe, he snaps his talons and teleports out of Sombra's grip, near the door way. Now standing on his legs he glares across the cotton candy and chocolate milk soaked throne room at the two sinister creatures grinning at him. Discord snaps his fingers and the blade in his chest disappears, snapping once more...., nothing happens, he looks down at the open wound on his chest, he snaps again and the wound continues 'bleeding'. Discord continues snapping both his fingers but the wound keeps going unaffected by his magic, He looks up when he hears Chrysalis coughing and laughing. "You don't get it do you Discord?" Discord shakes his head. " You have been injured, I must say I was beginning to think nothing could actually hurt you, but it turns out even god's can be killed." Chrysalis glances over at Sombra, a smile on her face. "Well done." "No you did your part well." Sombra's eyes meet Chrysalis gaze. "I've never been able to study Discord's energy so close before, you gave me more then enough time to find an energy that could hurt him." Sombra looks back at Discord a sinister smile on his face. Discord glares back at the pair, he suddenly vanishes appearing to Sombra's side he swings his paw down at Sombra, but is cut off by Chrysalis appearing beside him punching him lightly in his open wound, Discord flinches from the pain and then gets flung backward as Sombra slams his chest with one of his hooves, Discord crashes through one of the stone pillars of the room and lands belly down on the ground. He clutches his wound with his talon but suddenly cries out in pain as another blade pierces the palm of his paw hand. Discord looks up through the tears in his eyes at the dull look of Sombra staring down at him, Discord growls up at the lord of shadows. "You bas-" "What happened to you Discord?" Discords eyes widen at the comment. "Here lays the great god of chaos, bender of reality, the fabric of the universe is your play thing and yet here you lay wounded, at my feet." Discord growls, his eyes narrow. Sombra's dull look curves up into a smile. "It's that Pegasus isn't it?" Discord's eyes widen once more as he grinds his teeth, Sombra's starts laughing manically. "Yes that's it isn't it?!" "Of course Fluttershy." Discord tilts his head to see the wounded Queen. "She's made you soft, she's made you care." "You can't unleash your full chaotic power because she's in your mind, she's made you less chaotic." Sombra says his smile vanishing. Sombra floats another blade into the air. hovering a few feet above Discord's head. "I've made a god bleed, let's see if I can kill one too." Discord closes his eyes, What, what do i do? Why can't i think of a way out? My magic doesn't want to work. Is it the pain? is it tampering with my magic? Are they right? has friendship made me weak? Maybe I can't do this... maybe this is the end of the god of chaos... oh well I had a good run. Discord opens his eyes wondering why he isn't dead yet, his eyes widen at the sight in front of him, Everything has turned black and white and nothing is moving Sombra stares down at Discord his face unmoving his blade frozen in midair, Chrysalis is further away sitting on the ground frozen in the act of trying to hide the fact she's eating cotton candy. Discord eyes widen as he hears a familiar angelic voice. "Discord are you ok?" He turns at the sound of Fluttershy's voice, he sees a glowing white light appear nearby, the white light spreads out covering the room, Discord shields his eyes from the light and when he reopens them he's suddenly in a flowery meadow a bench sits in the middle of the field, Discord gazes at the pale yellow Pegasus with a silky pink mane sitting on the bench staring off into the distant suddenly sensing his presence Fluttershy turns to look at the Draconequus. Her face brightens at the sight of him, she jumps off the bench and zooms into his arms for a hug, she nuzzles against his chest, tears streaming down her face, Discord tenderly wraps his arms around her a smile comes across his face as he lays his head on the top of hers. "Fluttershy..." Earlier That Day Shortly Before Discord's Battle With Chrysalis Fluttershy lays on the bed of one of the castle guest rooms, she's staring at the ceiling a frown on her face. She lifts her fore hooves up toward the ceiling so she can inspect the hoof cuffs with strange markings. Fluttershy's frown grows, sense they had been put on her she left different like a warmth in her chest was gone. I wish these things were gone. Suddenly her ring glows dimly and the hoof cuffs transform into butterflies that then fly out the window, Fluttershy's eyes widen in surprise. "Oh... oh no that's not good." Fluttershy says whimpering, she turns her head to the side at the sound of the door to the room opening. She smiles at Twilight and Applejack as they enter the room, her smile gets a little bigger as the warmth in her chest finally returns. Twilight raises an eyebrow in surprise as she looks at Fluttershy. "Fluttershy what happened to your cuffs?" Fluttershy's face turns red. "Well... um..." Fluttershy tries to hide behind her mane, I wish once this would work. Fluttershy moves her face out of her mane as she hears her friends gasp. "Fluttershy?" Twilight asks looking around the room in confusion, Fluttershy raises an eyebrow at her. "What the hay just happened where'd she go?" Applejack asks walking over to the bed Fluttershy is sitting on. "Guys I'm right here." Fluttershy mumbles raising a hoof, Twilight and Applejack jump in surprise. Applejack reaches out a hoof and pokes Fluttershy in the nose. "Ow!" Fluttershy cries at the poke to her nose. "Applejack why did you do that?" Applejack jumps away from the bed in surprise. "Sorry Sugar cube." Applejack says her eyes wide. "I can't see ya." "What?" Fluttershy asks, she looks down at her hooves and all she can see is the blankets laying on the mattress, she yelps in surprise, right after she does her hooves return to view as Fluttershy becomes visible again. "Very interesting." Twilight says rubbing her chin. "Applejack can you give me and Fluttershy a moment?" "What?" Applejack asks turning to look at the princess. "This is a magical matter I think I'll be able to help her on my own for now." Twilights says walking over to the window sill, Twilight looks out the window and frowns. "Besides I think there's another pony that could use your help more then me." Applejack joins her by the window and looks down to see a pink party pony hopping along, defiantly looking for Discord and not chatting with a certain other party pony, Applejack groans. "Alright I'll go get the little missy back on track." Applejack sighs as she walks out of the room. Twilight looks back at Fluttershy who smiles sheepishly. "What happened to the cuffs Fluttershy?" Twilight asks bluntly, Fluttershy looks flustered and then mumbles under her breathe. "It turned into butterflies." Fluttershy looks down at the bed. "I knew it." Fluttershy looks up at Twilight, who is just rubbing her chin in thought. "What?" Fluttershy asks moving herself off the bed. "Well the cuffs sealed your magic, like the stare and the magic you created by using your emotions and the necklace." Twilight points at the necklace around Fluttershy's neck. "But the necklace has power of its own, it's like a genie, it'll grant any wish you want and since it's a separate entity it wasn't affected by the cuffs.... fascinating." "What did you mean my emotions and the necklace?" Fluttershy asks looking at her friend pleadingly, Twilight breathes sharply looking away. I wonder if I should tell her my theory. What if her emotions run wild again? No she deserves the truth. Twilight sighs looking back at Fluttershy. "I believe you can control the chaos magic in the ring, but the chaos magic causes your emotions to be much stronger then normal, like when you got angry at the Princess earlier, I've never seen you get that angry at anypony who didn't hurt your friends." Twilight says speaking low but clear enough for Fluttershy to hear. "But she did hurt my friend." Twilight's eyes widen at her comment. "Fluttershy what do you mean Celestia wouldn't hurt any of us." Twilight says quite flustered, Fluttershy frowns at Twilight. "Not physically but she hurt Discord's feelings." Fluttershy says sadly. "Fluttershy she has a right to be suspicious I mean he did betray-" Twilight begins but then her mouth clamps shut as Fluttershy interrupts her. "Why do you keep saying that? You know he didn't Twilight, I know you know!" Fluttershy screams at Twilight, Twilight becomes even more flustered. Maybe this isn't just a magical problem, I wish I hadn't sent Applejack away. "What do you mean? What do I know?" Twilight asks bewildered. "You know that Discord was just doing a stupid plan to defeat Tirek using the tree of harmony's locked chest!" Fluttershy shouts her eyes narrowing, Twilight raises a hoof to speak. "You came back from the Princesses super powered after Discord had joined Tirek but you didn't tell us that, I mean why keep that a secret if you didn't know about Discord's plan!?" Fluttershy screams the last question at Twilight her eyes burning. Twilight just stands there unsure of how to answer the question, Twilight blinks Why did I keep it a secret? Fluttershy looks down at the ground in a huff, her eye catches sight of the ring around her neck. She looks at it and then frowns, what Twilight said earlier about her emotions going out of control repeating in her mind. "Flutter-" "I don't want to keep losing control like this." Fluttershy says tears building up in her eyes, Twilight gives her friend an apologetic frown. "I'm sorry Fluttershy but the only way for the ring to stop affecting you like that is to take it off." Twilight says in a regretful tone. "I'm not taking it off... I promised I wouldn't." Fluttershy says holding the ring in her hand a warm smile crosses her face as she reads the inscription. "Discord made you promise?" Twilight asks wearily. "He told me to never take it off no matter what you guys, or the princesses said, he said I shouldn't even take it off if he tells me to." Fluttershy says not taking her eyes off the ring. Twilight raises her eyebrow at that last comment. "He said that." Twilight asks confused. "He said only I would know when to take it off." Fluttershy clutches the ring to her chest, a thought pops into her head. "I wish the ring didn't affect my emotions toward my friends." Twilight looks at Fluttershy quizzically. the ring glows faintly as it always does upon granting a wish. "Did it work?" Twilight asks looking at her friends hoof where the ring is. "I guess we won't know until someone says something to make me angry." Fluttershy says opening her hoof to look at the ring, her eyes widen at the sight in her hoof, the gold ring has dulled and has one large crack in it, gold magic energy seems to be leaking out of the ring onto Fluttershy's hoof , it flows like blood, Twilight's eyes widen at the sight. "What's going on?" Twilight asks reaching out to the ring, suddenly the ring cracks again this time unleashing some kind of energy, as it nearly breaks in two. Twilight gasps as Fluttershy suddenly falls over landing on her side in the bed. Laying completely still Fluttershy's mouth begins to move, Twilight strains her ears to listen. "Discord are you ok?" Back In The Meadow Fluttershy and Discord hold each tenderly neither wanting to break the embrace, suddenly Fluttershy pushes off of Discord as she feels something flowing down her back, she reaches over and grabs his paw before he can hide it behind his back, his talon is holding Fluttershy in the air so she doesn't have to flap her wings. She gasps as she sees the golden energy flowing from both sides of his paw. "What is this?" Fluttershy asks somewhere between concerned and confused, Discord looks down at his paw and then shrugs his shoulder's. "I guess it's my blood." Fluttershy gasps at this but then raise an eyebrow. "But I've seen you bleed before like when you cut your hand in the kitchen, or when you fight with Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy asks tilting her head, Discord grins. "I just made that blood with my magic, I've never actually felt pain before today." Discord looks at Fluttershy's big teal eyes, remembering the tears he has caused in them, he frowns. "Physical pain anyway." "So wait, you didn't actually hurt your paw when you cut it in my kitchen?" "Nope." He smiles smugly. "Then why did you let me nurse you back to health for two days?" Fluttershy asks pointing a hoof accusingly at him, his grin only grows. "Because I like making you spend time with me." Discord laughs, Fluttershy smiles and giggles along with him. A thought pops into her head that makes her smile vanish. She frowns and looks down at Discords body, she runs her hooves through his fur, gazing slightly further down directly below her hind hooves, her eyes widen as she sees a large wound on his torso pouring out golden energy. She looks back at his face, sweat begins dripping down his face as he continues smiling. "Discord how did you get hurt?" Fluttershy asks, her normal look of concern and worry across her face. Discord sighs as he looks into her pleading eyes. "Well as it turns out Chrysalis summoned Lord Sombra from the dead and he used his dark magic to create blades that can hurt me." Fluttershy looks at Discord her eyes wide and full of fear. Discord winces as he for some reason continues. "And he's about to kill me." Discord cringes as he excepts her to cry or scream basically freak out like she always does when he delivers shocking news like this, but he doesn't hear that instead he hears laughter. He gazes down at the Pegasus he's holding in his talon, her angelic laughter bubbling into his ears, as her silky mane bounces slightly as she laughs. "Oh Discord you're so silly." Fluttershy giggles, Discord just stares at her. "I'm not joking Fluttershy I'm lying on the floor of the changeling hive throne room about to be stabbed in the face and or decapitated." Discord says deliberately trying to get her to freak out by telling her the truth. Fluttershy just looks at him a smile on her face. She reaches up and cups his face with her hooves. "You'll get out of there just fine, I know you will." Her tender smile warms his soul. "How do you know?" Discord says his ears drooping and his face in a frown, he lifts his paw up to his face. "I can't seem to focus while feeling this pain." "Then just focus on this till you get out of there." Fluttershy says her eyes becoming half lidded. "Focusing on wh-" Discord is cut off by Fluttershy pulling his face to hers kissing him passionately on the lips, he barely has time to register what's happening and return the kiss before the meadow their in begins to fade, he has a huge grin on his face as the world goes white. Back In The Changeling Throne Room Sombra swing's his blade down at Discord's head an evil grin spreading across his face as the blade get's closer to the Draconequus. Suddenly his blade stops in mid air as an eagle talon launches through the air grabbing onto the blade, golden energy starts dripping down the blade onto the floor. Sombra grunts at Discord's sudden action, before he can speak Discord's paw grab's the leg that's not holding the blade, the blade in the paw stabs into Sombra's leg causing black blood to flow out of the wound. Discord looks up at Sombra who matches his gaze, Sombra flinches as he sees a wide grin on Discord's face. "Why are you smiling?" Sombra asks glaring down at the Draconequus. Discord says nothing but swings his tail whipping Sombra across the face, stunning him for a moment , Discord bends his legs through the floor kicking Sombra into the air, Sombra's leg gets torn open as the blade slashes through as he fly's, the sudden movement causes him to release the blade in his hoof. Sombra collides with the wall and glares back up at Discord who is holding his side. Sombra glances over at Chrysalis who is still badly injured, also she has some cotton candy in her teeth. He then glances down at his hoof, the black blood pouring out onto the floor. "Well I'd love to stay but I think I've done enough damage here for today. Now if you don't mind I have someone far more important to be with then you guy's." Discord says dropping the blade he's holding in his talons onto the ground, using his talon he rips the other blade out of his paw, throwing it onto the ground next to the other one. Discord snaps his paws fingers summoning a large pink boat with hearts on it, he opens the side and hops in like a car and then the boat starts to rumble. The boat rockets though the air like a space shuttle smashing through the ceiling as Discord makes happy noises the whole way. Sombra stands there staring up through the gaping hole in the ceiling, he hisses in pain as the sunlight touches his skin, he quickly moves back into the shadows. "I guess he hadn't actually done enough damage for one day." Sombra looks over at Chrysalis who just looks bored. She stomps her hoof and a horde of changeling's fly in and immediately begin repairing the damage to the throne room and ceiling. Sombra uses his magic to bring over the two blades Discord had left behind. "Well I can't say it was a complete failure." Sombra says gesturing toward the blades he's holding. Suddenly Chrysalis snatches one from his magic, gazing at it intently she hands it off to captain Night Fly who bows and then fly's away. "Yes I suppose your right the trap didn't quite go as planned but at least we both survived." Chrysalis looks down at all the cotton candy being swept up by some drones. "Next time I won't let some weak duplicates get the better of me, next time I'm going one hundred percent." "Hopefully this fight will keep Discord distracted for a while so we can begin carrying out our own plans." Sombra says walking up behind Chrysalis. He tilts his head and raises an eyebrow. "Speaking of, how do you think Tirek's doing?" "Well I'm sure he's...." Chrysalis stops as she tilts her head into the sky. Sombra recognizes the look as the one she uses when talking to her subjects through their mental connection. "Well what is it?" Sombra asks walking up to stand next to Chrysalis. "It's Tirek's squad reporting on how the attack went." Chrysalis says sounding distance. "Well that's good." Sombra says looking around the badly damaged throne room. "We could use some good news right now." "WHAT!?" Chrysalis shouts her eyes burning in anger while grinding her teeth. "What?" Sombra asks turning to look at her. "HE, LOST!!!!"
