The O.C. Story
Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Saving the Alicorns and an unpleasant surprise.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"There's a little something you have to do for me first." Discord said
"And that is?" Russell asked
"Take this card and this book; they'll come handy later. There is a building far beyond here, and the book must be returned there. The card will help you gain access to the area of where you need to go, for security there could turn you into ash. Don't unwrap the cloth over the book: just the cover will make anyone, no matter how much experience they have, will fall in terror if it's horrific messages!!!"
"Why don't you do it?" Gustavo asked
"The folks over there will turn me into stone, and I won't be able to aid you later on."
"Seems reasonable to me." Doug replied. "Let's get this book back to it's home!!!"
"We'll be back soon." Matt said to the alicorns.
"Alright," Kane replied "Hurry please, it's cool to be with the princesses, but I don't want to be trapped eternally forever with them."
"How are you going to get there?" Fluttershy asked them
"I've got that covered." Discord said, snapping his finger. A map fell on to Matt's muzzle, then a bag on his bare back "Follow this map, and, when you get there, I've added disguises with you, just in case."
"Thanks," Doug replied "Let's go people!!!"
"You four go: the humans will be staying with me and the alicorns."
"Let's go!!!" Gustavo yelled. They all opened the map and began running to the 'area' Discord said for them to drop off the book at. They seemed to have disappeared into the background of the mountains.
"Suckers."
"Why do you say that?" Kane asked
"Well, my silver- butted friend-"
Our five heroes heard the "Indiana Jones theme song over their heads. There, they traveled through Equestria's jungles, forests, mountains, plains, and swamps, while following the map in what seemed to be months. They then found themselves looking at a dock, surrounded by other ponies and some humans.
"This looks like Horse-Shoe Bay." Doug stated
"It does," Gustavo replied "But for all we know, this could be the most dangerous dock in the world."
"You don't say," Matt said "LOOK!!!" They looked and saw a series of 'Wanted' Poster, with some scribbling below on why they're wanted.
"Think we should get the disguises on?" Russell asked
"We should." Matt opened the bag, and out came some hairy things that jumped on their faces. Though it roughly hit them all on their face, they realized it rested around their lip & chin area, becoming beards that matched their mane colors.
"Wow," Doug said, stroking his 'beard' "Now ladies will dig me."
"You wish." Gustavo replied "I'm now a ponified version of 'The Bearded Lady'!"
"Calm down," Matt said "All of you, let's go and return this book."
"We will," Russell said "Any of you think I have a chance with Twilight now?"
"No." They all replied, giving him an impatient look. Russell looked down with shame. They traveled down to the dock, making their way to Discord's area. The map they had pointed them to a fair sized building that looked as if it could fit all but one.
"You guys go inside," Matt said "I'll keep watch."
"Got it." They all replied. They all went inside: it was much bigger on the inside with a lot of strange objects. A lone merchant pony came out from a door near the cash register.
"May I help you?" The merchant asked
"We're here to return this book." Gustavo replied, holding the book, which was covered in rags."
"I see, do you have a card on you?"
"We do." Russell replied
"Well, hand it over." Doug opened the bag and carefully, with his magic, gave it to the merchant, now knowing what will happen. The merchant picked up the card and scanned it with a spell.
"Oh... you're returning this for Discord?"
"Yes," Doug replied "How did you know that?"
"He's always late for returning stuff, and his taste sure is weird. That'll be 7 bits"
"Wait, returning? His taste? 7 bits?"
"Yes. You are aware what you're turning in, right?"
"A book."
"Do you know what kind?"
"No."
"His favorite type since he met Celestia and got unstoned."
"...But Discord said it'll make anyone scream in terror." Gustavo said
"That Discord is always using fear to get his way. It will only affect young ponies & children."
"Wait, what!?!?"
"Look." The merchant unwrapped the cloth and they saw the book: it was pink all over, but the cover had something disturbing on it; It was Celestia, showing her plot to the viewer in a 'oh, you like it?' pose, and with the title below saying "Princess Molestia: The search for Plot".
"What the fu-" Doug said, before realizing what store they were in: a dirty shop called "Kinkee's stuff"!!! Everything came to them just right now. They all screamed in terror, as Russell threw some bits at the merchant, and they ran outside, making it to one of the docks and began to puke in the water. Matt followed to only see them all upchucking in the sea.
"What happened?" Matt asked. Doug turned around with some puke on his lips.
"You're lucky." Doug simply replied, before his cheeks went full again, causing him to puke back in the ocean.
"NO!!!" They all heard Kane's voice.
"Kane?" Matt asked to himself "You guys stay, I'm gonna see what's happening."
"You do that." Gustavo replied weakly.
"Come back when you're done."
"Will do." Russell replied, before releasing another load. Matt ran past the crowd, avoiding eye contact to the strangers. All of Kane's yelling got louder as he traveled. A huge crowd was over around where Kane was at. Matt pushed his way through the crowd, and made it to the center.
"YOU CHEATER!!!" Kane yelled. Matt saw that the Alicorns were free from their cage, and were with humans and Discord, playing Texas-Hold-Em Poker.
"Me?" Discord asked "As a cheater? I would never do that."
"Yeah right."
"I have to agree," Luna said "ten royal flushes in a row just screams cheater."
"I'm just that lucky." Discord replied
"KANE!!!" Matt yelled. The Brown alicorn turned and saw the unicorn.
"Oh," he replied "hey Matt, where've you been?"
"What's going on? How are you free from your cage? We've been gone for months"
"Six hours, really."
"What?"
"Well..."
*6 hours earlier*.
"Suckers." Discord said
"What do you mean?" Kane asked.
"Watch this." he simply opened the cage, releasing the Alicorns.
"Thank you," Celestia replied "But what about them?"
"That's where you all come in."
