It was about this time a guard burst into the room yelling. “Everypony get to safety, Discord has broken loo- Well, buck… I see I was a bit too late…”

I see Ribbon shushing me but i have a plan. I mouth ‘I got this’ before jumping from the ceiling and landing on the floor letting my military training take over.

“Name and rank soldier!”

He salutes. “Captain Shining Armor ma’am!”

I catch a flash of green fire in the corner of my eye, and see that shining has too. Ribbon had apparently re donned her pegasus disguise. I see Shining getting ready to hit her with a spell, bet before he can do that, I stop him. “STAND DOWN SOLDIER, SHE’S A FRIENDLY! NOW GIVE ME A SITREP ON THIS!” ...holy shit thats loud!

He nods his head quickly before dissipating whatever spell he was readying. “Ma’am yes ma’am! Discord has broken free of his imprisonment and is currently terrorizing the any civilian in the gardens!”

A. Fucking. Terrorist…. Must... Dispense... High-yield…. American… Justice! "How fast can you get us there?!"

Shining immediately responds. "I'll teleport us there." his horn glows before my vision is filled with a flash of pink before i felt like i was being shoved through a fold in space.

When my vision cleared, I was greeted to…

Fucking. Chocolate. Rain. Oh and some monstrosity that looks like a mutant platypus drinking a glass of chocolate milk, which then refills from the bottom.

What… Just… Wat… I sigh. “Well this just made number seven on my list of ‘weirdest shit I’ve ever seen.”

"Why did I have to come? I was safe in my room!"

"But wheres the fun in that? All tucked away like a cuddle bug waiting for Moony to come back."

WHATTHEFUCK! I whirle around only to see Discord standing next to Ribbon. Like fuck I’m giving him the chance to do anything. I let a feral growl escape from my throat.

"Leave my friend out of this, your fight is with me..." Oh how i’m going to enjoy listening to him squeal…

Discord makes a sarcastic scream of fright, before laughing. "Little Moony thinks she's all tough now!" He snaps his… talons? and suddenly everything was five feet taller. "No, I think I'll bring her into this all the same, Don't want to leave anypony out now do I?" Before he picked up Ribbon and started laughing even harder.

“Wha-” Oh god i sound like a five year old… He is a troll, must buy time by counter trolling. “Why thank you, now I’m just harder to hit.” I gave him my best troublemaker grin.

Discord just seems to smile. "Finally somepony who understands! Now what to do to your friend?"

Fuck this. Feeling into my magic and snapping my self back to my original form, I glare at him like a rabid dog. "Fucking. Hurt. Her. And. You. DIE."

I begin closing the distance between the two of us.

"My, my, how violent. No I'm not going to hurt her" he snaps his talons, causing Ribbon to revert to her Changeling form. "She looks MUCH better without a mask on, don't you think?" he holds her in front of him, taunting me.

Bro. You just signed your death warrant. I formed my armor around me, miasma leaking from below me as my rage intensifies. “Let her go, NOW!”

He frowns. "Oh fine, Be that way. Ruin all my fun way don't you." He prepares to snap his talons. "But before I go, one last thing." He snaps them. Immediately, I feel a sucking sensation, before I begin to gravitate towards Ribbon. "If you're going to be so violent I can't just let you roam around, so you can stay in her head till I'm done. Tah tah." As I get closer to Ribbon, I feel something in my mind stirring almost as if it trying to take over her… NOPE. NOPENOPENOPE. ALL OF MY NOPE. I try to stop whatever it is before I wind up taking Ribbon over, but I only partially succeeded.

My skin burns. It feels as if an unfathomable amount of power is flowing through my veins. my vision clouds with what could only be described as liquid shadows, before they seem to hesitate, and and become somewhat transparent. it felt like those shadows had formed a second or third skin boiling with power.

‘Ribbon, are you there, Ribbon, please answer me, I d-d-don’t want to be alone agaaain’

‘C-Chi? is that you?’

‘Oh thank God, you’re alright, I thought discord had effectively replaced your mind with mine!’

‘Th-the power… It hurts…’

‘What? I notice what can only be described as a massive amount of my magic being pushed through Ribbons body. I immediately tried to lessen the flow of power until it no longer was meeting resistance. ‘I think our only option is to take down discord, because I have no clue how to undo this, and I don't think your body can take this much energy for very long before side effects begin cropping up.

‘B-b-but how do we fight him like this?

look, it is taking too much of my focus keeping my power down to levels that won't irreversibly damage your body, to control anything. At the most I can give you suggestions on what to do, but you have to carry them out.

’Bu-but I don’t know how to use it!’

‘I don’t know! use it like you would use any other magic!’

I-i can’t!

I can only think of one way then, repeat after me “We are many, but we are One” ‘

‘We are many, but we are One’

‘We are many, but we are One’

‘We are many, but we are One!’

And then, something magical happened...

We opened Our eyes, and saw the chaos Discord had wrought. We could not let it continue. Shifting Our form to that of a sky dwelling pegasus, We took to the air in search of him. We followed the foul stench of his magic, only to be greeted by a sight that horrified Us: Discord had corrupted the Elements, leaving himself unopposed. We would not be able to maintain Our disguise. Direct intervention was necessary.

We touched down, looking him in the eyes, unwavering. We spoke. “You shouldn't have done that…”

He blinked. "Shouldn't have done what my dear?”

"You forced the Blood Moons very being, into the Rogues body, hoping to remove a threat. Instead you created Us, and incited Our wrath." We shed Our disguise, allowing it to burn up in the roiling field of energy surrounding Our being. At the sight of this, Discords eyebrow rose off his face.

“For We are neither Chitsuki, nor are We Tattered Ribbon. We are, Concordia.” Our name seemed to strike something buried deep within Discords mind, as for the most fleeting of moments, true fear appeared on his features. We capitalized on this fact by releasing a surge of undirected power, driving Our point home. “And We will teach you the meaning of FEAR! ”

Discord didn't even take the time to laugh, and instead rushed Us, intent on delivering a flaming uppercut. "Our power... moves worlds..." channeling large amount of miasma and magic, We struck the ground in front of Us, creating a shockwave of dark power, and launching Discord high into the air, shocking him. With a flap of Our wings, We pursued him. Before We could connect, Discord teleported behind Us, and axe kicked Us into the ground. Emerging from the crater coated in dust. "We voiced Our rage. "Our wrath… rends time itself..." Discord gave Us a confused stare. We rushed up to him, focusing every ounce of rage into Our hoof. "Dāku..." Our hoof met his gut. "Shōryū..." We launched our other hoof into his jaw. "KEN!" The impact sent him even higher into the air, before he plummeted back down to earth, while We landed in front of him.

Discord got up, wavering slightly before sighing. “It appears I made a mistake, joining your consciences.” He tightened his paw into a fist. “But that can be easily fixed.” We blinked, and he was right in front of Us. He delivered a punch to Our mid-

* CRUNCH! *

…

…

upon regaining consciousness, I quickly took in my surroundings, anticipating a surprise attack. The first thing I noticed, was the Mane Six, sitting there, staring at something behind m-

Ribbon had been sent flying into a wall by the punch, before being buried in a pile of rubble.

I felt something stirring in me, instincts that felt almost like that of the Nightmare.

…

They screamed for vengeance, for me to inflict as much pain as inhumanly possible.

...

And I gladly gave into them...

I looked Twilight right in the eyes, pure fear having since broken her free of whatever Discord had done to her mind, and said a single word. “Run…” and run they did. Turning my glare to Discord, I walked up to him, radiating unrestrained bloodlust. Channeling both pegasus and earth pony magic through my entire body, I spoke.

“You hurt my Ribbon. Prepare to die.”

“And what makes you think you can possibly harm m-”

* KRA-BOOM *

[size = 0.25 ] “I regret everything… I regret everything i've ever done!” [size]

"You hurt my Ribbon. Prepare. To. DIE!"

The combination of magic, adrenalin, and unadulterated rage, caused me to perform a double hoofed nutshot, that broke the sound barrier. And that was only the beginning…

At this point, I lost myself in the screams for vengeance, and couldn't remember a thing after. when I finally did regain control, I was standing over a bruised and battered Discord, who was muttering “Not the kittens… not the kittens…” under his breath repeatedly. he deserved it, after what he did to Ribbon-

Wait, RIBBON! Rushing to the pile of rubble, I quickly glanced around, making sure no one would see her, before using telekinesis to throw the debris out of my way. I was horrified to see the state she was in.

Her horn was spiderwebbed with cracks, the chitin around her barrel had shattered, leaving her bleeding flesh exposed, and her breathing was fading fast. at that last revelation, three things happened; I grabbed her in my telekinesis, an image of the hospital room I first woke up in appeared in my mind, and I was urging my magic to get us there NOW. My vision was suddenly flooded with the eerie greenish-blue i usually associated with my magic, before we were deposited in the hospital room…

Question teleporting later, save Ribbon NOW.

I did the only thing I could think of. I flooded my emotions with concern, sorrow, and… love? yet nothing was happening… I poured my soul into it, and felt unconsciousness starting to claim me, before i blacked out, however, I was rewarded with a relieving sight. The bleeding had stopped, and her breathing was stable...
