The Caverns of Discord
Chapter 3: Discord's growing strength.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI am suddenly shaken awake by, and when I open my eyes I see Derpy with a worried look on her face. "Roy I found who I was looking for, but he is stuck in a cell made by Discord guarded by a few somethings that look a lot like you. To make it worse they were able to use magic so I couldn't stay there long enough to study them a bit more, because one of them spotted me quickly."
"Alright Derpy lead the way, but give me a sec." I get up and check inside my pack for my blade. I find it quickly, and slip it on. I nod to derpy to have her assume i'm ready to go.
Derpy lead me through a ton of twists, and turns until we finally reached a large room with three figures in the dark that resembled me. "Oh how nice of you to finally find this place Roy I have been waiting for you to see my latest creations, and see if they kill you since nothing else can." Discord said popping in through the wall as my shadow. "Oh by the way. You won't be needing this little blade, because it makes the fights a bit unfair. I hope you understand Roy." Discord says removing my blade from my hoove, and then disappearing once more into the wall as my shadow.
When Discord left the figures looked up, and their eyes lit up with a bright green light that looked just like the color of my horns magic. I look at my wing that got stabbed earlier knowing its not fit for another fight so I have my wings disappear back into my body. The figures slowly start towards me slowly, but gaining speed. "Derpy get out of here." I tell her holding my position as she runs the other way. They all ram me at once pushing me back a bit giving me enough time to raise onto my back hooves readying a counter. I ready my horn to hold them all, and just as I do that they charge their magic to hold me at the same time. All 3 of them raised onto their back hooves just as they held me with their magic while I held them with mine.
This fight is not going to be easy,but I think I know how to deal with myself if these things really fight like me.
We all drop at the same time and meet up in the center of the room where the fight actually begins. "Oh Roy I hope you know these things will attack each other, but their ultimate goal is to kill you. Why are they all not trying to kill you. Well I will tell you why, because it's no fun watching one pony getting ganged up on by three others with the fight so one sided." Discord says popping in once more, but this time with skin like the wall as he blended in with it, but he disappears quickly after he says what he wanted to say.
I head for the nearest one since this basically a free for all. Me and this thing that resembles me quickly place our front hooves on the ground, and turn fast enough backwards where our back hooves clash in mid buck. Since that didn't work out too well I had to hop back onto my back hooves, and turn around with blinding speed, and as the thing was too slow to realize that I was on my back hooves already it fell on its stomach right on the cold, hard ground. I pick it up with magic so I can get a clear shot with my front hooves, but I was stopped with one of the others flying at me, and as it hit me I lost my concentration on my magic when. Falling on the ground didn't feel good, but with this thing on my back it felt even worse. I threw it off into the nearest wall so I could finally get a good hit in while the other two were fighting each other. I drive one of my front hooves into its back as I pull it up off the ground with magic, and slam it up against the wall then into the other two that are fighting. While one of them is dazed trying to get up the other two aren't, and run over to me, and in a split second they are on there back hooves ready for a powerful hit with their front ones, but before they can get close enough I send one sprawling on the ground with a magical blast to the gut, but the other one was able to dodge a blast, and hit me square in the jaw where my vision started to waver. My wings spring from my back, and encase it so I could spin it in the direction of the wall that I am up against.
As I held it against the wall with my wings the other two rushed over to me only to be blasted back once more with magic, but I forgot one thing these things had that I also did. I am picked up from the ground as a green aura wraps around me, and launched me across the room against the bars that are holding whoever this pony is prisoner. I counter this things magic with my own, but the spell only short circuits, and explodes in my face leaving marks. I could slowly feel the anger building up in me as nothing goes my way in this fight. The other two are already on their back two hooves, and rush me while I am stuck in place with magic. They get up to me and hold me in place up against the wall. The other thing that I had up against the wall rushes over, and starts to attack me while I can't do anything. My rage is slowly building to the points where it was unbearable, and my short fuse went off just as I felt my self starting to bleed with a hit to wing.
My magic blasts all three of them a few feet away where they all gather in an attempt to kill me. "Oh so they have joined forces to kill you I see how fun." Discord says obviously enjoying the show. Ignoring Discord's little comment I advance on them with the bloodlust taking over. As all three of them are upon me I use my uninjured wing to push them back onto the ground where I slam one of their skulls in with increased gravity from my magic, and two back hooves. My blood lusts strength only grew from that point on as I desired to kill more. I picked the other two up as I over power their magic. Slamming them into the wall over, and over as I hear more, and more of their bones cracking with every impact. When I finally feel like ending their suffering I grind them into dust as I drag them across the wall with increasing speed. As I finally drop their corpses I look at back at them, and the image pleases my bloodlust enough to turn it off, because what I saw was two corpses with no back, and blood turning into a lake with all their innards falling out onto the ground.
I rush over to the cell where the pony is looking out. I look at the cell bars for a moment before I rip them out of the wall. "Now come out I 'dealt' with your guards." I tell the frightened stallion as he emerges from his cell.
"Well your pretty beaten up aren't you?" Said the brown stallion with an hourglass as a cutie mark with spikes on his mane
"You try anything, and I will end your life just like I ended theirs. Got it?" I tell the stallion tired out.
"I would never think of doing anything to the.... Alicorn? That saved me? Wait you're an Alicorn? But you're a stallion. There are no Alicorns that are stallions." The stallion says bewildered.
"Well where have you been? I ran away from canterlot as a colt. There was also a time when everywhere was filled to the brim with guards looking for me." I remind him thinking i'm reminding him.
"Oh it seems I missed out on something when I traveled to this place from another dimension." The stallion says gathering himself up taking another look at me.
"Excuse me what did you say. Another dimension. Impossible." I tell him knowing he is not telling me the truth.
"Oh yah you ponies don't think i'm from another dimension at least Derpy thinks I do." The stallion says moving out of the room.
"Where are you going? I need to take you back to Derpy." I tell him as he passes by me.
"Oh sorry where are my manners since you are the one that has helped me. Thank you, and my name is Dr. Whooves." The Dr tells me turning around to face me.
"Well I had better take you back to Derpy now shouldn't I." I tell him readying my magic.
"Yes please take me back to Derpy so I can use her to get back to my own dimension." The Dr says without realizing what just said
"Excuse me what did you just say?" I tell him with anger building up.
"I have no Idea what you are talking about." He says finally realizing what he just told me
"You just said to take you back to Derpy. Just To USE her." I tell him with bubbling anger on my short fuse.
"I said that didn't I. Oh well I guess I should tell you about me, and Derpy's relationship not actually being a thing." He says standing their holding his position as my facial expressions change from friendly to hostile.
I hear hooves pounding down the hall coming down the hallway that I entered in.
"Ok so let me tell. First of all Derpy thinks i'm her special somepony. Second of all she had been helping me figure out how to get back to my world,and she is the only one out of both of us who has made any breakthroughs so I need to use her. Got it?" Dr. Whooves says knowing the mistake he just made.
"Why Does Derpy Love you- you. OH I'M GOING TO KILL. HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU AND DERPY BEEN TOGETHER! I roar at him as he holds his ground knowing whats about to happen.
"Please do kill me so I can regenerate back in the Tardis, and we have been together for at least 4 years." Dr. Whooves says raising onto his back hooves readying to defend himself.
"Let me tell you something you insensitive pony I am going to kill you for not telling Derpy you don't want her to be your special, because I already know she wont listen to me when I tell her you don't love her. SO I WILL DO THE NEXT BEST THING YOU PIECE OF SHIT! And with that my rage breaks the meter, and I launch myself at him buckling him over.
Three ponies run into the room as I take down Dr. Whooves. Fluttershy, Luna, And Celestia look at both of us. "Roy what are you doing!" Luna screeches turning up the volume with her royal voice.
"I'm going to kill this pony for not telling Derpy the truth." I tell them while I throw the Dr. across the room with magic, but as I advance on him Celestia, and Luna tackle me while Fluttershy drags me back. "What are you doing. This pony needs to learn manners!" I turn up the volume on my royal voice just as Luna did as I try to wrestle away from them, but i'm too tired from using my magic so much to actually get away from them. I look at the Dr. to see a cocky smirk on his face. "Oh just you wait I am going to kill you one day you bastard." I tell him sending a blast of magic that none of them expected, and as it hits he disappears out of the maze
"Roy where did he go!" Luna yells at me as they all drop me.
"Don't worry I just teleported him out of the maze." I tell Luna calming her down. "Let's go back I am tired I need to rest my horn, and my body before this place breaks me, and my mental self. Next Chapter: teleporting everyone out Estimated time remaining: 13 Minutes
