Warning: long chapter

Chapter 14: Let's Rumble

It was a calm day in Ponyville; everypony was walking around enjoying the hot sun.

Me and Twilight were on our way to the café to meet up with the others.

"Wow, what a gorgeous day." Twilight said as we were still walking.

"Yeah, but there's something more gorgeous here." I said.

Twilight turned her head to face my. "What?"

I turned my head to her. "You" I said with a smirk on my face.

Twilight blushed slightly "Matt, you're such a flatterer." She said as she nudged up next to me.

My smirk grew bigger. "Yeah, the one thing you should know about me; I'm a sweet talker."

We continued to walk to the café with us by each other's side.

When we reached the café, we saw Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie on a large table. We walked up to the table and joined them.

"Howdy Twilight, Matt, glad ya made it." Applejack said.

"On a day like this, wouldn't miss it." I said.

Rarity stuck out a hoof. "I took the liberty of ordering your drinks, their all on me today."

I looked down on the table to see two drinks for me and Twilight; I pulled them closer to us. "Thanks Rarity, what's the occasion?" I asked before I put the straw that was in the drink in my mouth.

Rarity placed her hoof on her chest. "Well it turns out, I have a secret admirer. He sent me a lovely bookey of roses and a wonderful poem with it. (Dreamy sigh) I've never read something so romantic in my life." She said in a dreamy tone.

I then had a large smirk on my face. "She liked it; I should tell Spike when we get back to the library." I thought.

Fluttershy turned her head to Rarity with a smile on her face. "Oh, how romantic."

Rarity turned to Fluttershy. "Oh it was, I simply must find the one who sent it. I wonder what kind of colt he is, a Pegasus? A unicorn?"

"I wouldn't count on it." I mumbled while laying my head on my hoof.

Rarity turned her head to me. "What was that darling?"

I quickly sat up. "Errrr, nothing." I then quickly put the straw back in my mouth.

Suddenly, we saw a bunch of ponies run passed the café. "What's going on?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out." Rainbow Dash said before she got out her chair and flew off to go where the other ponies where going.

We all looked at each other before we all got off our seats and followed her.

We followed the ponies to the town hall where there was a large stage set up with everypony standing in front of it.

We walked over and joined the crowd. After a few minutes, the mayor of Ponyville walked up to the middle of the stage.

The mayor then walked up to the microphone and leaned her head towards it. "Good morning Ponyville, we have a very special guest here today to award the seven young ponies who stopped the villainous Discord and saved the castle."

We all then grew surprised by this. "That's us, that's us." Pinkie Pie cheered as she jumped up and down on the spot.

The mayor then stuck her hoof out. "And now fillies and gentlecolts, presenting the one who gives us the sun. Princess Celestia." With that, there was a white flash of light and Princess Celestia appeared on stage and waved at the crowd.

Once everypony saw the princess, they all cheered and repeatedly stomped their hooves on the ground, we also started stomping.

The mayor moved aside from the microphone to allow Celestia to go in front of it. Once Celestia was in front of the microphone, she leaded he head towards it.

"Greetings Ponyville, It is so nice to see you all again and now to the awards. Twilight, Matthew, would you and your friends like to come up on stage?" Celestia said as she looked at us.

Me and the others then walked around the crowd until we came up to the stage. After we got up on stage, we all stood next to Celestia.

Celestia gave us a quick nod before she turned back to the microphone. "I have come here today to thank my student, her coltfriend and her friends for standing up to Discord, saving the castle and rescuing me in the proses. So that is why I am awarding them these special medals."

Celestia's horn glowed and with a flash of light, seven gold medals appeared hovering in front of us. Each one had one of our cutie marks on it.

Celestia then levitated six of the medals towards us and placed them around Twilight's and the others necks, I was wondering why Celestia didn't give me mine.

Celestia then looked at me. "Matthew, would you mind coming here to receive your medal? I want to say something." With that, I walked up to Celestia.

She then turned back to the microphone. "For this medal, I would personally like to thank Twilight's coltfriend Matthew. Because even though he first meat Discord on the night he took over the castle. He didn't show any fear of Discord and kept going until he was defeated. And that is why I award him this medal for his strong bravery."

The crowd then cheered and repeatedly stomped their hooves on the ground; I looked over to the others to see their smiling faces. But nopony's smile was larger than Twilight's; I gave her a large smile back before turning my head back to Celestia.

Celestia then levitated the medal towards me and I lowered my head slightly so she could put it on. Suddenly, there was a big flash of light behind Celestia; which caused her to turn around fast and drop the medal before I shot my head up to see what was happening.

When the light cleared, Discord was standing on the stage a few feet away from Celestia. "DISCORD" me, Twilight and Celestia yelled.

"What are you doing here?" Celestia demanded.

"I have a business to attend to…with Matthew." Discord said with a glare as he approached us.

Celestia stepped in front of him and spread out her wings to block his way. "You will not go near him, Twilight or any of their friends." She said in a commanding voice.

Discord glared harder. "For once, this doesn't involve YOU. Now get out of my way."

Celestia glared up at Discord. "Never."

Discord then had a look of anger on his face. "Have it your way." With that, he snapped his fingers.

Celestia then felt her hooves grow cold and looked down to see ice rise up her legs. She turned her head around to see her hind-legs were already frozen and the ice moving across her body.

The ice covered her entire body until it came to a stop at her neck so her head was left unfrozen.

"Now, if you'll excuse me?" Discord said as her walked around Celestia and towards me.

As he walked closer to me, I took a few steps back. "What do you want Discord?" I asked with a glare.

Discord glared down at me. "It's not what I want….it's what HE wants."

I raised an eye brow. "Who's HE?"

"Pray you don't live long enough to find out….in fact, I'll make sure you don't." Discord said as he began to hover in the air.

I took a few more steps back. "Excuse me?" I a slightly worried tone.

Discord just kept glaring down at me "I'm sorry Matt, but I have to do this." With that, sparks of electricity began to form on the palm of his hands. My eyes slowly grew wide at this slight.

Discord then stuck out his talon hand and shot a bolt of electricity at me, I quickly jump out the way and the bolt hit the stage, leaving a burnt mark on the wood.

Discord growled before he shot my bolts at me, but I kept dodging them, which made more burnt marks.

Once he stopped, I finally had a chance to speak. "ARE YOU CRAZY?" I yelled up to him.

He raised an eye brow, I then looked at Twilight and the others to see they also had an eye brow raised.

I turned back to Discord and held a hoof up. "Ok, poor question. But what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, but I have no choice. You…must…die." Discord said before he flew down at me.

As he caught me off guard, he grabbed me as he continued to fly forward while holding me out in front of him.

He flapped his wings harder as we came up to a house and slammed me into the wall.

I collapsed to the ground and tried to get up but Discord walked up to my side and used his dragon leg to kick me in the side which caused me to flip over on my back coughing.

Discord then walked up to my head and lifted his deer leg over it. As he forced it down, I quickly rolled out the way; forcing Discord to miss my head and stomp on the ground.

I quickly got up and glared at Discord, he glared back before we started slowly walking in a circle; never taking our eyes off each other.

Rainbow Dash then flew up next to me while glaring at Discord. "Don't worry Matt; I'll help you take down this creep."

I turned my head to face her. "No Rainbow Dash, help Celestia out that mess. I'll take care of Discord."

Applejack stepped forward. "No can do sugar cube, I already told ya you're not doing things like this alone."

As the others came closer, I saw the determination in their eyes and I nodded. "Ok, but Applejack; you and Rainbow Dash have to get the Princess out of that ice and we will take care of Discord."

Applejack and Rainbow Dash nodded and headed back to the stage to help Celestia. I then turned back to face Discord's glare had grown harder.

Twilight and Pinkie Pie stood on my right side while Rarity and Fluttershy stood on my left while we all glared at Discord.

"I have no time for you." Discord growled before he raised his glowing lion hand. Suddenly, Twilight and the others started glowing and they levitated up into the air.

Discord pushed his hand forward and Twilight and the others were sent flying backwards, crashing to the ground.

My eyes went wide before I galloped over to Twilight. When I reached her, I help her back up. "Are you ok?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight answered as she rubbed her head.

I spun my head back towards Discord while gritting my teeth. "Alright Discord, you want me? Come get me you freak of nature."

With that, Discord growled as he flew into the air and shot off towards me with his body moving like a snake.

I then charged towards him. As we got closer to each other, I flew up high in the air and Discord shot under me.

He turned his head to see me as he continued flying forward; I pointed my hoof to tell him to turn around. Which he did and yelled in terror as he crashed into a fruit stand.

After a few seconds, he got up out of the wreckage and wiped the splattered fruit off his face before he snapped his figures and disappeared in a flash of light.

I quickly looked left and right to try and find him but he was not where in sight. It was all silent and my tension was building every minute.

Suddenly, I heard a flash behind me and I turned around fast to see Discord throwing a punch down at me. I quickly dodged the punch, grabbed his arm and pulled him down.

As he was coming down, I pushed my free hoof up to his head and punched him in the jaw, causing him to stumble back a bit. As he held his jaw, I turned my body around and used my hind-legs to buck him in the stomach.

As he bent over hold his stomach with a pained look on his face, I climbed up on top of his head and held on to his antlers. He then leaned strait up, "Get off of me." He growled as he swung his head around like a mad bull.

Discord then back up to a house and threw his head back, causing me to hit the wall behind me and lose my grip on his antlers.

He spun around to face me before he grabbed me by the throat with his lion hand and held me up against the wall. I was gasping for air as I was holding on to his arm to try and make him let go but he was too strong.

As he chuckled evilly, I kicked my right hind-leg up and it whacked him in the jaw, forcing him to lose his grip on my neck and I fell to the floor.

Before Discord could recover, I flew a few inches in the air and shot myself forward with great strength so I was pushing Discord through the air as I flew.

I continued to the fly while pushing Discord until we came to the stage and we crashed into the side of the stage, breaking some of the wood. As Discord was grunting as he tried to get back up, I quickly grabbed the end of his tail and flew up into the air, pulling Discord up with me.

It took a large amount of strength but I managed to get Discord high up in the air and started spinning him around in circles above me.

I then finally let go of his tail, sending him flying towards the town hall and crashing through roof.

Everypony who had been watching started cheering for me as I landed back on stage. As I stood on stage, I saw that Applejack and Rainbow Dash were still trying to break Celestia out of the ice. Twilight and the others then galloped up on stage and towards me.

"Matt, are you alright?" Twilight asked with a concerned voice as she examined my body.

I gave her a small smile. "A bruise or two but I'll live, that is unless Discord comes back out." We then looked towards the town hall's main doors.

I then started walking towards them. "Matthew, what are you doing?" Rarity asked.

I turned my head to face her. "I'm going to end this before somepony gets hurt."

Applejack turned away from the Princess and to me. "Matt, you don't have to do that. You already beat him, it's over."

I turned my head back to the doors. "If I can knock him unconscious, it'll buy you guys some time to get the Elements to turn him back to stone. So I'm going in."

I then continued to walk towards the doors. "Be careful Matt." Twilight said in a worried tone.

As I reached the doors, I took a deep breath before I place my hoof on the doors. "DISCORD." I yelled as I pushed the doors which caused them to swing open.

I got no response as the main hall was dark and silent; I then slowly walked further inside, looking left and right for Discord.

"Discord, I know you're here. Come on out." I yelled. Suddenly, the main doors behind me slammed shut which caused me to flinch.

"Well well Matthew, you have a lot more fight in you then I anticipated." Discord's voice echoed through the hall.

I glared. "Come out and I'll show you a lot more." I continued to walk further down the hall.

There was a moment of silence before I decided to break it. "Why are you doing this Discord? I never thought you to be the type that kills." I said.

"You think I want to do this?...you think this was my decision?...I'm the victim here, you're the one who's caused all the trouble." Discord's voice echoed through the hall.

"I haven't done anything to anypony." I yelled out in anger.

"Oh, but you have Matthew. You and your friends interfered with matters that weren't yours and now I'm forced to end it." Discord's voice echoed.

I kept looking around for him. "If you don't want to do this, then why don't you…oh I don't know, STOP." I yelled.

"Because I have no choice, it's a matter of life and death." Discord's voice yelled.

I raised an eye brow in confusion. "Life and death? What the hell do you mean by that?"

"Enough questions…..lets finish this." Discord's voice said darkly.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light behind me. I spun fast just to have Discord grab me by the mane, toss me up in the air and as I came down; he punched me which sent me flying across the hall and crashing to the floor.

After a few seconds, I picked myself off the ground and charged towards Discord. As I did, electricity formed around his palms again and he shot bolts at me again.

I dodged all the bolts of electricity he shot at me as I continued to charge at him until I finally reached him and head-butted him in the stomach which caused him to fly backwards and crash to the floor.

Discord then got off the ground and shot towards me. Meanwhile as me and Discord were fighting, a small cloud of black smoke seeped through the wall, we didn't notice it come in.

The cloud the formed the shape of a small alicorn with red glowing eyes. It watched us fight for a minute before turning its head towards the curtains attached to a nearby window. The smoke alicorns horn glowed and a spark flash on the curtains causing them to catch fire.

The smoke alicorn chuckled slightly before disappearing in the wind. The flames began to spread up the curtains and on the wall.

Meanwhile, I grabbed Discord by the waist and flew up to the ceiling with great speed and whammed in into the ceiling. I then threw him to the ground and dived down after him and whammed myself into him causing us the crash to the floor, Discord first.

I got up off Discord and looked down at him to see he was unconscious. After I turned around to head back to the doors, Discord's eyes shot open before he got up off the ground and pounced me to the ground while wrapping his hands around my neck.

Discord snarled down at me as his grip on my neck got tighter, it was starting to get harder to breathe through his grip until something caught his eye which made him loosen his grip.

I saw the look of fear on his face and I turned my head to where he was looking to see the entire left wall burning in roaring fire, my eyes went wide at the sight of this.

With Discord's grip getting looser, I placed my hind-legs on his chest and pushed him off of me. I then galloped towards the door.

Discord glared as I was galloping away from him and snapped his fingers, part of the fire then moved like a snake and made a line of fire in my path. The flames then grew high so they were blocking my path as I quickly came to a stop.

I turned around to face Discord. "This ends here." he said as he slowly approached me. I got in a fighting position. "Bring it!" I growled.

We gave each other sharp glares before I charged towards him. As I got closer to him, he spun around and whacked me to the side with his tail and I fell to the ground.

I leaned up to see Discord approaching me. I then felt something hot on my hoof and I looked down to see glowing hot embers, apparently they can't burn me through my hoof. Then a cruel idea came to mind.

As Discord got closer, I scoop up some of the embers and threw them at Discord's face. The embers hit him in the face and some of them hit him in the eyes.

Discord yelled in pain while covering his eyes with his hands. I took this opportunity to strike.

I flew up In front of his face and started punching him in the face, forcing him to remove his hands from his face. I then swung my hoof up as fast as I could and hit him in the jaw. Sending him flying up onto the balcony.

At this point, the fire had spread all over the main hall and the air was full of smoke. I tried to make my way to the doors but I was choking on the smoke filled air and fell to the floor coughing.

Meanwhile outside the main hall, the ponies were trying to put out the fire with buckets of water but it was no use. Twilight and her friends all watched in horror as the main hall burned. Celestia was still trapped in the ice and was squirming her head around trying to break out.

Twilight had her mouth covered with one of her hooves with a worried look on her face; she even had tears forming up in her eyes.

Rarity came up beside her and placed a hoof on Twilight's shoulder as they continued to watch the fire.

Back inside the main hall in the room with the balcony, Discord groaned as he rubbing his head while he got up off the ground.

He opened his eyes to see the room was also on fire. Before he could do anything to get out, two bolt of fire burst out the floor in front of him; one was black and the other was dark purple. When the flames faded, two of the silhouetted alicorns were standing in their place.

"W…what are you two doing here?" Discord asked nervously.

One of the alicorns glared. "Our brother has grown impatient with you Discord, your time is up." A male voice said.

Discord gave them a frustrated look. "I wasn't on a timer."

"Oh….did we forget to tell you? You had twenty four hours to kill Matthew." A female voice said evilly.

"Then I have the rest of the day to do it." Discord said in a frustrated tone.

"We also forgot to mention that the timer started the minute you left our throne room." The male alicorn said before he chuckled darkly.

Discord's face turned to anger. "That's not fair."

"You would know what's unfair wouldn't you? Given your reputation as a trickster after all. Now…..say goodbye to your name." the male alicorn said before both their horns started glowing.

Discord's eyes widened in horror as he glowed white and kneeled to the ground in pain. Once the glow faded, Discord was panting heavily.

"You know Discord; it's not a total loss. In fact, our brother saw your efforts and decided to not take away the second thing he said he would take. Instead, he wanted us…..to kill YOU." The female alicorn yelled before her horn glowed.

A large long thick plank of burnt wood on the ceiling then glowed and broke off the ceiling; the alicorn then levitated the plank above Discord.

The alicorns horn then stopped glowing as did the glowing on the debris and fell; Discord had a look of horror as it fell on top of him.

The female alicorn then walked up to Discord unconscious body and looked down at him. "Let's finish him."

"No, I have a better idea. Let's leave him here to die." The male alicorn said.

"I like the way you think brother." The female alicorn said before they both disappeared in two bolts of black and dark purple flames.

A few seconds later, Discord began to come too. Once he was fully awake, he tried to pull himself out from under the plank of wood but he was stuck.

Meanwhile, I got up off the floor and weakly looked over to the door. I started to gallop towards it.

"HELP….I'M STUCK." Discord's voice yelled from the high room. I skidded to a halt and looked up at the balcony.

"Discord's still up there? Why hasn't he got out yet?" I thought as I looked back to the door, I then looked back up to the balcony.

"Grrrr, I gonna kick myself for this later." I thought before I took off into the air and flew up to the balcony.

Once I reached the balcony, I flew into the room and started looking around for Discord. "Discord, where are ya?" I yelled through the crackling fire.

"Matthew…over here." Discord's voice said from across the room. I looked in the direction his voice came from and saw him under the plank of wood.

I then landed in front of him and he looked up at me. "Am I glad to see you, I thought you already left." Discord said with a small smile.

I glared down at him. "Can't really say the feelings mutual." I said. Discord then frowned and I let out a big sigh.

"Alright Discord, you have to help me lift this off of you. Ready? One, two, THREE." With that, we both pushed up at the plank of wood but it wouldn't move.

Discord then stopped pushing and looked up at me. "Matthew…..get yourself out, leave me here."

I stopped pushing and looked down at him with a confused face. "What? You've been trying to kill me all day and now you want me to save myself and leave you to die…..why?"

"Because I no longer need to kill you and…..I'm useless to the world now, I've lost my name." He said with his ears down.

I raised an eye brow. "What do you mean you lost your name?"

"I mean, I'm no longer the spir-" Discord was interrupted by something crashing through the roof. I looked up and I was surprised to see Rainbow Dash flying towards us.

"Rainbow Dash, down here." I yelled while waving a hoof. She saw me and flew down to me. She then landed next to me.

"Rainbow, help me lift this thing!" I said as I grabbed the plank again, Rainbow Dash nodded and grabbed the other side before we stared pushing up.

With mine, Rainbow Dashes and Discord's strength combined, we were able to lift the plank off of Discord and toss it aside.

Discord then tried to get back up but he just collapsed back on the floor. The building started to make creaking noises as the fires grew bigger.

"Come on, we have to get out of here." Rainbow Dash yelled. I nodded and placed Discord's lion arm over me. "Rainbow, help me fly him out!" I said.

Rainbow Dash nodded and placed Discord's talon arm over her before we flapped our wings as hard as we could and lifted off towards the hold in the roof that Rainbow Dash made.

Once we got out of the burning town hall while carrying Discord, the town hall collapsed to the ground causing many ponies to scream in terror.

We then landed back down to the stage where Twilight and the others were waiting for us. "MATT." Twilight cheered as she galloped towards me with a big smile on her face.

Once she reached me, she wrapped her hooves around my neck and started repeatedly kissing my cheek ignoring the fact that I was covered in soot.

She then took her hooves off my neck and took a step back so she could see my face better; she then had a worried look on her face. "Are you hurt? Any broken bones? Are you burnt anywhere?"

I let out a small chuckle. "I'm fine Twi. Trust me; it'll take a lot more than that to kill me." We then smiled warmly at each other before we locked each other in a warm hug.

As we broke the hug, I turned my head to face Rainbow Dash. "Thanks Rainbow Dash, I owe ya one." She then walked up to me.

"Matt, you have to be ether the craziest pony in Equestria…or the bravest." Rainbow Dash said with a smile before she gave me a playful nudge on the shoulder with her hoof.

We then heard groaning behind us and we turned around to see Discord picking himself up off the ground while coughing.

He looked up to see us looking down at him with serious faces. Discord then gave me a confused yet surprised look. "You saved me…..why?"

"I'm not the kind who leave ponies to die." I said.

Discord then got up from the ground. "Well…I quest I should say thank you, huh?"

I then gave him a slight glare. "Just because I saved you doesn't mean I like you Discord." He then frowned slightly.

Twilight then stepped forward. "Free the Princess now Discord." She snapped.

Discord the put his hands up. "Ok Ok, keep your horn on!" with that, he snapped his fingers and the ice on Celestia started cracking until it all fell to pieces, freeing Celestia.

Twilight then galloped up to Celestia. "Princess, are you ok?" Celestia smiled down at her. "Yes, I'm fine."

Celestia then turned her attention to Discord. "And now to deal with you." She said with a glare as she approached him.

Discord then fell to his knees. "Ok let's all calm down for a minute, I have a very good reason why I did this today."

I stomped a hoof down. "Not interested." Celestia then stepped forward. "Wait, I want to hear what he has to say."

Me and Twilight then looked up at her with a confused look on our faces. "What?" we both said at the same time.

Celestia didn't take her eyes of Discord. "Very well Discord, tell us why you attacked Matthew!"

Discord then had a pleased look on his face. "Well the truth is, I was being blackmailed by this alicorn. He said if I didn't kill Matthew he'd take away half my magic and my name, so I had no choice. But I was tricked and now half my magic is gone and I'm not the spirit of chaos and disharmony anymore…I just the spirit of nothing now." Discord said in an upset tone while looking down at the floor. "I can't tell her what the second thing he threatened to take away was…not yet." Discord thought.

"Oh come on." I thought angrily.

Celestia raised an eye brow. "How do I know you're telling the truth?"

Discord got up of his knees and walked closer to Celestia. "Because my name was the only thing that made me want to cause endless chaos. Without it; I don't feel the desire to do it. That's why I've decide to change and help you take down this alicorn for betraying me."

"You've gotta be joking." I said out loud in an unconvinced tone.

Discord stroked his beard with a thinking look on his face before he look back to Celestia. "I'll prove it." He then looked around until he looked at the destroyed town hall.

He had a smirk on his face as he snapped his fingers. Suddenly, there was a big flash of light which faced us to cover our eyes. When the light faded, we opened our eyes only to be shocked to see the town hall was fully repaired.

Discord turned his attention back to Celestia. "Now, is that something the old Discord would do?...look Celestia, I know I've done bad in the past and I understand why you all hate me for it, but I beg of you to just give me one chance to earn your forgiveness."

There was a moment silence before Pinkie Pie burst out into tears.

Celestia then went into deep thought as she paced left and right until she came to a stop and turned her head back to Discord. "Alright Discord, you get one chance but if you show any signs that you're still your old self, you'll have to deal with me."

"YES." Discord yelled as he bent his talon arm down.

I then stepped forward. "Princess you can't be serious; this is Discord we're talking about. You know, the one who tried to over throw you, the one who causes endless chaos and let's not forget the one who tried to kill me today, how do we know he's safe to be around?" I said in a frustrated tone.

Celestia tapped her chin before giving Discord a serious look. "Alright I've come up with a decision. Discord, I can't say I trust you just yet and seeing as how you owe your life to Matthew anyway, you'll be staying with him and Twilight until I am fully convinced." She said as she turned around to walk away.

"What." Me and Discord said at the same time. I then walked back up to Celestia as she continued to walk away. "Princess, you can't really expect us to let Discord live with us; do you?"

Celestia turned her head to face me as we walked. "Don't worry Matthew, if he does anything just let me know and I'll handle him." With that, her horn glowed and she disappeared in a flash of light.

"OOOOOH." I moaned before Discord came up beside me. "I guess this means we're going to spend a lot of time together." He said with a smile.

I growled as I glared at him.

That night: The library

Twilight walked through the front door with me behind her with an annoyed look on my face with Discord walking behind me.

After I walked through the door, my eyes shifted to the right as I grinned deceptively before I kicked the door shut in Discord's face with one of my hind-legs.

I just snickered before Discord reopened the door and walked through while rubbing his nose. "I doubt that was the wind." He said with a small glare.

The library was quiet, which must mean Spike, Jeff and Peewee were asleep. Good thing too, I didn't want them going to sleep knowing Discord was here.

Discord then looked around the room. "So, where do I sleep?"

Twilight tapped her chin before looking up to Discord. "Well, there's a guest room where Matthew use to sleep, maybe you can-"

"Oh no way, he's not sleeping up stairs while we're there." I said in an assertive tone.

Discord then crossed his arms. "Fine, I'll just make my own bed." Discord then snapped his fingers and a cloud appeared hovering in the middle of the room. Discord then flew up to it, laid back on it, snapped his fingers again before an eye mask appeared over his eye and put his hands behind his head before drifting off to sleep.

Me and Twilight looked at each other before she turned to go upstairs; I shook my head and followed her.

Once up stairs, I laid down on the bed and rolled myself on my side so I was facing off the bed. Twilight then laid down next to me and looked up to the ceiling. "Well this is surly a weird turn of events." She said still look up at the ceiling.

I huffed and Twilight turned her head to me. "Matt what's wrong? Why are you so frustrated by this?" she asked.

I let out a sigh and rolled myself to the other side so I was facing her. "I'm sorry Twi; I just can't stop thinking Discord's up to something. I don't trust him." I said calmly.

"I know how you feel Matt, but if the Princess is giving him a chance then so am I, will you please do the same?...for me." She asked sweetly while placing he hoof on my shoulder.

I thought about it for a second and made my decision. "Ok, I'll try to get along with him….but if he does anything bad I'm reporting him to the Princess. If not….I'll accept that he's changed." I said as calmly as I could.

Twilight then gave me a warm smile. "Thanks Matt." She said sweetly before leaning her head towards me and giving me a kiss on the cheek before rolling to her side so she was facing away from me.

I then rolled to my back and looked up at the ceiling before closing my eyes and going to sleep, trying not to worry about Discord.

Meanwhile: Far away dark mountains

The two silhouetted alicorns entered the throne room and kneeled before the alicorn on the throne.

"Brother, the deed is done….Discord is dead." The female alicorn said.

The alicorn on the throne glared down at them. "Oh really?" his dark male voice said before his horn glowed and the two alicorns were lifted off the ground and thrown to the ground next to the large green pool.

The alicorns then picked themselves up off the ground and looked into the pool to see Discord asleep in the library. "If Discord is dead then why is he staying in the same home as Matthew? who is also still alive." The alicorn on the throne said darkly.

The two alicorns turned to face the alicorn on the throne with fear in their eyes. "Please forgive us brother; we will not fail you again. We will go there right now and destroy Discord and Matthew." The male alicorn said.

The alicorn on the throne stomped his hoof down. "No, you will do nothing until I say so, now leave me." the alicorns dark voice growled.

The two alicorns lowered their heads "Yes brother." They both said as the backed out the throne room, leaving the alicorn alone.

The alicorn then walked up to the pool and looked into it. "Discord has joined them, this was…..unexpected. I'll have to come up with something more…drastic….and I think I know what that is." The alicorns dark voice said as he glared into the pool.

Sorry it took so long, but as you can see it's a long chapter. I think only a few will be like this but don't worry! I'm not giving up on this story.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Goodnight everypony.
