"I'LL KILL YOU ALL! RELEASE ME AND FACE YOUR TORMENT!" Midnight shouted as chains could be heard rattling and creaking in strain against him fighting to get free from his cell. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's take a step back to a few hours prior.

"I think this is going to be the only way for everypony to be safe until the fourth quarter cycle of the moon has passed. It's only for a few hours anyway, so don't feel bad about what I am about to go through." Midnight stated as he, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Shining Armor, and a gaggle of unicorn guards all followed him into the dungeon.

"But Midnight, don't you think this is being overly cautious?" Twilight stated as the creaking of a heavy cell door sounded off through the dark dungeon as Midnight pulled it open with his magic.

"Sorry to say Twi, even with everything I've asked you all to do to me may not be enough. I am sorry to say that I have kept my full power hidden from you guys for a long time. The only reason I have kept my power in check is because it causes my brain to feel as if it is going to explode." He chuckled for a moment as he entered the cell and lay down onto the floor as the guard and Shining Armor began to chain him in magical restraints. Even placing several magic suppressing rings onto his horn and strapping them tightly on so that there was no chance he could pull them free. After a few minutes he had been properly restrained to the floor, with a collar placed around his upper and lower neck, blinders over his eyes that were then held taught by several straps, and several strong magic suppressing rings placed at the base middle and tip of his horn. The over all strength of them being so potent that it even suppressed his mane and tail from staying lit. Once those had been fixed, his wings had been restrained in several places as well as his legs being buckled to the floor in a seated position. Although temporarily blinded he smiled weakly to everypony as he lay his head down onto a large slab of stone and was chained to it. He gave a sigh as he felt Twilight nuzzle him once before pulling away.

"I still can't believe this is all really necessary to keep him restrained." Twilight stated as she looked at the dark Alicorn in worry.

"I doubt this is myself, but Midnight requested it just to make sure that we remain safe from him during this time." Celestia stated as she nodded to Luna.

"One final thing everypony." Midnight spoke up as Luna's horn lit up. "Don't believe anything I say when I transform. I love you all and would never hurt you for any reason. As Tia stated before, Anything I say or do is the complete opposite of what I truly feel or believe." He smiled but stopped as he gasped out for a moment, his body pulling at the chains as strain was evident on his face.

"Oh God! W-what.......... what is this.............pain! Aaaaah AAAAHHHHHH!" He began to thrash wildly at his bindings as he screamed out in pain. His body began to grow a little thicker along with his coat becoming more pronounced as it grew out a little more.

Everyone watched in silence and in horror as Midnight began to transform, his teeth extending into razor sharp knives that drooled as his growling maw turned into a sinister grin. After a dew seconds his thrashing stopped as his breathing became a little heavy before becoming normal once again.

"Twiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiight." He spoke out in a sing song voice before giving a slight smile.

"M-midnight?" She spoke in worry as she took a step closer but stopped as his ears swiveled to stop at her position.

"Be a dear and take all of these restraints off for me. I'm perfectly fine." He smiled softly showing his fangs off.

"Twilight, please exit the room. He has already transformed into his were state." Celestia spoke up as she looked down to the fully restrained Alicorn. He giving an annoyed snort back as he spoke.

"Oh my, the great sun Goddess who bared my bastard child. Aren't you going to beg me for another one? I did have quite a bit of fun....." He stopped as Celestia shouted toward him.

"SILENCE! You will remain here until morning, at which point you will be released once you have returned to normal. Until that time you are to silent and fully restrained." She snapped back causing his brows to visibly lift behind the blinders.

"Oh my, such a forceful tone, I do believe that it has turned me on a great deal." He chuckled as he could feel the heat radiating from the embarrassed mares standing in the room.

"Enough! You will remain silent as the Princess has stated. Further denial of these orders will result in punishment." Shining armor stated as he stepped forward with several unicorn guard at his sides.

"The pretty boy reveals himself, Such a shame you're so weak though. I would expect more of a challenge of you to fight me when I have my way with your little sister." He began to chuckle but it turned into a roar of pain as Shining Armor lashed out with a bolt of electricity from his horn, hitting the Alicorn square in the side.

Everyone else quickly left the room as Midnight began to shout out at them. "I'LL KILL YOU ALL! RELEASE ME AND FACE YOUR TORMENT!" He thrashed wildly against his bonds as he attempted to break free. Shining Armor and the other guards leaving the room and locking it tightly with several enchantments before placing a buffer onto the room to block all of the sounds coming from it.

The princess' and Twilight walked away from the room with their heads held low in sorrow, knowing that Midnight didn't really mean what he had said, but that still didn't take the sting away that the words left upon them when they heard it.

"Well that was unpleasant." Discord stated matter-of-factly as he dislodged himself from a mountainside that he had landed into from Screwball's hit. He stood upright, shaking himself thoroughly before brushing the dust off of his frame.

"Looks like I am going to have a time convincing my daughter about the facts of co-existing with harmony. Even if she won't really listen." He sighed softly before taking flight toward Canterlot. "Better to start off with talking to Tia about everything before all hell breaks loose, and find out why Midnight tore my arm off."

As Discord made his way to the castle in Canterlot, he looked around to see a ton of activity within the guard. He pulled his taloned paw up to his chin as he wrapped his goatee around a single talon in thought.

"What in this world is Tia thinking with all of these guard? She knows they can't do anything to me or Screwball, so what's the point?" He stated as he vanished into a small flash of light, reappearing inside the throne room where Celestia, Cadence, Shining Armor, Luna, and a gaggle of guard were all standing and talking with the Elements of Harmony.

"My my, what a wonderful sight to see." He spoke up as he caught their attention.

"DISCORD!" Twilight shouted as the Elements began to power up.

"Wait please, I come in peace." He stated as he pulled up his paws, palms forward as he moved behind Celestia.

"Yea right!" Shining Armor spoke up as his horn lit up with magic. The same said for Cadence and Luna.

"Wait everypony, Discord willingly came here knowing we could easily capture him once again." Celestia began as she looked back to him seeing his swollen chin. "And from the looks of it, I think he has a good excuse."

Discord stepped forward with a smile as he hugged Celestia for a moment before pulling away only to seize up in a spell. Everypony looking to Twilight as her horn was alight with magic.

"Twilight?!" Celestia spoke in a sharp tone to her student.

"I'm sorry princess, but Midnight did bite him, or did you forget." She stated as she looked to the draconequus. The others following suite.

"He did bite me, but what does that have to do with anything?" Discord asked as his eyes moved back and forth from Twilight to Celestia.

"Discord, Midnight has been infected with the were curse. He took off your arm while in his transformed state, so you should be infected as well." Celestia spoke as she looked up to him. Discord just laughing for a moment and causing them all to cock a brow at him.

"Oh my goodness, that is quite a good laugh you just gave me. But you have failed to grasp several things about that." He stated with a chuckle. "I bled out and also replaced my arm, plus God's cannot be stricken with curses like other beings can. So you won't be seeing me as some crazed critter howling at the moon and throwing around chaos carelessly." He laughed.

"Twilight............ release Discord." Celestia spoke up hesitantly.

"But Princess." She tried to rebuttal.

"Now my student." She spoke in a sharp tone causing Twilight to flinch backwards before releasing her hold on the draconequus.

"Ahhhhh, much better." Discord smiled as he wrapped a arm around Celestia with a smile. "Now then, the reason I have come to you all. It seems that my daughter, Screwball, has taken it upon herself to believe that chaos should rule without harmony present."

"I thought that's what you wanted to do." Twilight spoke up with an annoyed expression.

"NO, no, far from that actually. I had intended on letting the ponies that held the elements find this out for themselves, but it seems as if I will have to divulge this tid bit of information to help you all out." Discord sighed in annoyance, his several millennia of trying to show this world the truth without actually speaking it getting ready to be blown away all because his daughter is on a power trip and is hell bent on destroying the universe.

"You see my little ponies............" He began to tell them all in length about how chaos would be present even if he was locked away, and the only reason he continued to exist in this world was because it was the only one he had ever come across that could stand up against his power. After a few minutes they all stood there in complete shock from hearing all of this from the God of chaos himself.

"So your telling us that unless we stop Screwball, and she manages to destroy the elements of harmony, all of existence will come to an end and start over?" Twilight spoke out in utter shock.

"That would be it, yes, and as much as I dislike the idea, we are going to have to either imprison her, or destroy her." He sighed softly looking to the ground in dismay. "She is my daughter after all, and I don't want her to perish, but I don't want her to have to endure being imprisoned for all of time either. But there isn't a choice to be had. She must be put down."

He wiped away a tear that had made it into the corner of his eye, Celestia moving to him and bringing him into a comforting hug, knowing that this would be an experience even a God would come to dread.

"So what's stopping us from doing this right now?" Cadence spoke up catching the others attentions.

"I may have only been free for a short time, but I can easily tell you right now that we are currently being overpowered by my daughter and her little group of minions." Discord spoke up as he looked around to see the visible lack of a Dark Alicorn. "And from the lack of my friend, I suspect that he is currently being restrained due to his curse. For the night anyway." He spoke before giving a yawn.

"Her minions? You mean the elemental ponies?" Shining Armor spoke up causing the draconequus to stare at him in disbelief.

"Did you say elemental ponies?" He looked at the white unicorn in shock seeing him nod. "Oh boy, now she has crossed the line." Discord said before smacking a palm pretty hard onto his face and pulling it down, stretching it before giving a sigh. "She has gone to far this time. She knew not to go that far." He groaned.

"Why? I mean, I know that she has them under her control and wants to take over this world, but what about that is upsetting to you?" Twilight asked as she looked up to Discord.

"Twilight my dear, this is bad for one big main reason. She has tipped the scales of balance between chaos and harmony. With this plain in such an unbalanced state, I will not be able to fully control the chaos that ensues. Which means........." He trailed off as Celestia took over.

"Which means, that, unless harmony is restored, and balance between the two are achieved. This world, as well as the rest of this entire plain of existence, will cease to exist." Celestia stated causing them all to look at each other in shock.

"Bingo, and the fact that now I can't do ANY type of chaotic thing while this is going on is going to drive up up the wall." He groaned out.

"So the chaos bringer can't do any chaos until his daughter is put out of commission?" Shining spoke out giving a smirk.

"Oh shut up!" Discord grumbled as he crossed his arms and taking a seat on the floor while grumbling.

"I can only imagine what your going through." Twilight grinned.

"Imagine when I took your horn away while you and the other elements went through that hedge maze the first time we met. Now times that by a million. That is what I'm feeling right now." He sighed.

"Ouch." Twilight stated as she recoiled.

"Well then, let's formulate a plan to take care of Screwball, without destroying the universe." Luna stated as she stepped up to the table and rolled out a large scroll. Everyone including Discord stepping up to give out ideas.
