So, I wound up spending another two weeks in the hospital, rather uneventfully, before I had finally finished healing. Of course, the first pony to greet us when we walked out the door was a worried and out of breath Twilight.

"Twi, calm down, and tell me what has you so worried."

"Princess... Celestia... Wants... To reform... Discord..." that... is crazy enough to work...

"Calm down. Deep breaths." Ribbon was trying to keep Twilight from hyperventilating and passing out.

"Lead the way..." oh, is Discord in for one hell of a surprise... I have to resist the urge to cackle, lest I give away my plan...

"You're far too excited for this."

"Excited? No, I've just been wanting to have a little-" I crack my neck, watching as Twilight and Ribbon flinch. "Talk with him..." Ribbon quickly becomes worried.

"Oh, my... Leave me out of it then."

"I was just going to set down some ground rules, and get him to apologize to you, it's not like I was going to beat him up..." not unless he tries something, anyway. She hums in approval at that. We eventually reached the outskirts of town, and met up with the other Elements, and noticed Discords statue. I smiled, and positioned my self behind it, Ribbon hiding behind me.

"Fire when ready!" I watched as Twilight and co rose into the air, and fired their rainbow beam of FRIENDSHIP! Which then struck Discord. After several seconds of nothing, several cracks appear, and begin spreading, while his obnoxious laugh is heard echoing from somewhere, before his stone prison crumbles to dust.

"Really now, after all that effort you six went through to imprison me, useless effort I might add, you release me?" He snaps his talons, turning the grass burpale... no, I don't know how it's burpale, but it is.

"No Discord, you need to learn the error of your ways. Chaos is not the answer to everything..." Fluttershy suddenly found her resolve, and had started chewing him out, even giving him 'The Stare'...

He laughed, and poked Fluttershys nose, causing her to 'eep!' and scoot away from him. "Besides, where's your little miss Nightmare, and her succubus friend anyway?" He did not just... HE DID! I felt my eyes shift slightly, and the area seemed to get a bit darker. Must. Suppress. Urge. To maim! I trot up behind him, and breath down his neck.

"Right behind you..." Discord yelp, and teleports behind Fluttershy. While Twilight and co take a few steps back, no doubt startled by my glare. He raises his paw to say something, but I'm having none of his bullshit, I walk up to him, wings spread and fangs bared. "Now listen hear buster, before we try ANYTHING, there are a few things we need to set straight. One: I believe you owe Ribbon an apology, both for last time and for what you just implied." I tilt my head towards Ribbon, before resuming burning a hole in Discord with my eyes. "Two: I may like raising a little hell once in a while, and I can respect your tendency to cause chaos, but when you do it without any consideration for the beings it would effect, well, I have to draw the line. Three: Don't think I'm going to just forgive you for what you did to Ribbon, and be all friendly. Four: you are on VERY thin ice right now, and if pull some kind of stunt, well... I can get a LOT more creative then the nutcracker. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?"

...

*Thunk*

A brick had appeared on the ground directly beneath Discord. And he nodded rapidly, truly afraid. Relaxing, the lighting returned to normal, and I put on a slasher smile. "Remeber... I'll be watching you..."

"Oh, my..." Fluttershy was shaking like a leaf, more than likely scared out her wit.

"Tarnation..." Applejack had actually taken off her hat, and was holding it up to her chest.

Rarity was just standing there, slack jawed.

"I just... Wow...." Twilight was at a loss for words, stunned by my performance.

Pinkie... Had been taking pictures of the whole thing... too bad they don't have Youtube here...

"That... was... BEYOND AWESOME! I cannot find words to describe how much awesome I just witnessed!"

I couldn't help but smile. Mission accomplished! Now to let Fluttershy talk him to death.

Getting Discord to reform was actually rather easy, what with me looming over him. We did however, FINALLY sort the mail... and gave the spam to Flint.

The sound of knocking interrupted me from my morning coffee. Who'd be up at 5 in the morning, anyway? Making sure to not wake up Ribbon, Gary, or Scootaloo, I walked to the door, and was greeted to an excited Twilight.

"Shhhh... everyones still asleep. Why are up so early anyway?" She had that grin on her face that could only mean one thing... SCIENCE! I was quickly teleported to her lab, where she started bouncing around.

"Ohhh yesyesyes! Celestia wants me to study your 'shadow' magic, and I sorta needed you to do that..." she stop bouncing, and collects herself, before pulling out a notepad. "What I want you to do, is try and form your shadow magic, but slow down the process considerably, I want to get an accurate reading of the process." As she says that, she plops that weird helmet thingie she has in her basement on my head.

Uhhhh... okay... Drawing on my shadow magic, I force it to slow down, and am greeted to a plethora of weird feelings. For one, i feel my shadow magic flowing through my normal magic, leaving behind what feels like... sludge, i guess, wich is dropped into my miasma... I hear a loud gasp. "Chi, you ARE producing dark magic, it been being filtered through your unicorn magic, removing the corruption! Its brilliant!" She quickly began scribbling things down, before looking between the notes and me... oh, no...

"Teach me! Teachmeteachmeteachme!" Uggggggh, fiiiiiine.

"What are you going to use as a filter though?" I watch as she becomes depressed, before she has an idea. She quickly bolts upstairs, and the sound of rummaging is heard, before she trots back down, her Element of Harmony firmly on her head, smiling.

Okay... that works... "Honestly, other than making crystals, everything is either unicorn magic, or my miasma... well you basically focus the magic on the spot you want it to grow and-" a silver spike of crystal emerges from the floor, and I see Twilight giggling like a schoolgirl. "That... went faster than expected..." decided to try something new, I launch a kinetic blast at the crystal, but use my shadow magic instead of my normal magic, and watch as the crystal shatters.

"Why are mine silver...? Chi, think you can make one so I can run some comparisons?"

"Okay, just gimmie a sec..." focusing, I conjure a small spike of blood red crystal, and wrench it out of the floor. Twilight grabs it out of my hoof, and after she creates another small clump of silver crystal, pulls it out of the ground.

"This is so exciting!" When she picked the silver crystal up, to both our surprise, it started glowing. "It... glows?" She hit it with a small bam of magic, and it began giving off warmth. "... and it holds an enchantment really well..."

"Hey Twi, Chi, what are you two doing?" Oh its Spike.

"Spike! Wassup!" While he was ignoring me, he had picked up one of the pieces of Twi's first crystal, and ate it.

"Minty..." both me and Twilight stared at him.

Idea! "You do realize Twi made that with shadow magic... now I have to wonder what mine tastes like..." conjuring a small clump, I rip it fee and pass it to Spike, who pops it in his mouth, before scrunching his face up in disgust and spitting it out.

"Gross! Tastes like copper and rusted iron! I hate those!" Copper and rusted iron... I've taken enough abuse to know when someones talking about the taste of blood...

"Can I go now, my coffees probably gone cold..."

"Yes, Chi, you can go now." I immediately teleport back to the house, and am greeted to a sad tune echoing throughout it... Is somepony playing the Lavender town theme on a violin? Finding my coffee was at least lukewarm, I downed the rest of it, before following the music to the living room, where I found Ribbon, playing a violin.... I can't help but choke down a sob.

"Its... beautiful..."

"Wha!" She misses a chord, instead making a piercing shriek. "You scared me!" Ribon, why do you seem sexier than normal? Just looking at her was making me feel hot and bothered... my face morphed into a look of horror.

"Oh no..."

"What?"

"Ribbon, I think I'm going into heat..."
