After discussing the topic of taking Discord down, and this maze for hours, and hours on end. We finally came to an agreement of teleporting everypony out of the maze, and then dealing with Discord himself with the force of ponyville, and canterlot combined. "I highly doubt all of this is going to work, because Discord always has something up his sleeve. You all know that right? Good." Celestia says putting her hoove down.

"No. No I think the plan will actually work, because isn't canterlot inhabited by mostly unicorns? If so then my assumptions are right, and Discord won't be able to stand up to about 200 unicorns, and if he does have something up his sleeve I will handle it myself." I tell them as we start to split ways to find ponies, and bring them back to the meeting point to be teleported out.

"Hold on Roy. Aren't you the one who put us in this mess anyway? Why would we want you to handle it on your own if you're going to lose your head again, and get everyone put back into this place, and to top it all off you're not really in shape to fight right now." Fluttershy counters back at what I had just said."

"Listen all of you. I know that I got all of us into this mess by giving Discord my strength, but I am determined to take Discord down, and make everything right while making up for my mistake so just trust me on this one." I turn around addressing Fluttershy's counter.

"Well then Roy I hope you know what you're doing then, because if you don't well lets just say it won't be a happy ending for you if we all get stuck back in here, because you couldn't take down Discord while you are in your current condition." Luna says frowning at me, because she obviously doesn't like me right now after trying to kill Dr. Whooves.

I turn around, and leave the room while everyone else does the same. rooms, and rooms of nothing. Until I find another empty room with a cell, but with no guards. I walk up to the cell, and three figures cower backwards into the corner. Knowing a few ponies were in there was enough of a drive for me to rip the bars out of the wall. "Come on out so I can teleport you out of here." I tell the three figures, and as the emerge from the cell I see that they are all little fillies. One is orange with a purplish mane. Another is white with a purple,and pink mane. The final filly has yellow skin, and a red mane. They all look at me with eyes full of fright as they see my mane is stained with blood in a few spots.

"Why does your mane have blood in it?" The yellow one asks first.

"Because I have had to defend myself from dangerous things in this maze." I tell her as I hear unfamiliar hooves approaching. "Quick get back in the cell I think trouble is coming." And just as I tell them a figure arrives in the room looking exactly like me. I seal the cell with magic so whatever it is can't target them.

"Oh Roy meet yourself. I have made a copy of you that fights like you thinks like you, and is more healthy than you since you know. You are hurt after all this fighting. HAH! This is going to be so enjoyable watching you struggle against yourself." Discord says popping out of the ceiling while having a floating lawn chair appear with popcorn so he can observe in safety as I tussle it out with this copy.

"Fine Discord if that is how you want it I will kill you once I deal with this 'thing'." I tell him stamping my hoove onto the ground then raising myself onto my back hooves, and as I do it the copy does it too. We run at each other, and plant a hoove on both of our faces. I get back up faster than it can. I use my magic to seal up the door until it feels my magical touch again so I don't have to constantly have it constantly draining my energy. I turn to face the copy of me once more just as it sweeps me off my feet, and I hit the ground with my back. I move my head to the side to avoid a fatal blow as it increases gravity on it's front hooves. I send it back with a gust from the wing that is the least injured. I get back up, and just when I thought things couldn't get worse I saw it flip my blade out of the leather band.

"Oh by the way Roy I gave it your little flip blade thing." Discord says chuckling in safety.

I had to lose some ground as the copy came at me with my own weapon. As I run backwards though I plant my front hooves on the ground firmly, and buck it in the stomach strongly enough to launch it back, but that backfired, because just as I bucked the copy in the gut the copy stabbed my bottom right leg with the blade just as it flew backwards dragging the blade downwards into my leg. I fall to the ground as my leg goes limp. I back up a bit as the copy gets back up barely dazed, and hurt. I check my back right leg while I still have time before it charges at me once more. If I don't end this fight soon i'm going to either die of blood loss or die of that blade. I give in to my bloodlust to numb the pain enough to the point where i'm able to fight with no worries. My eyes fill with red making my vision go red, and my blood boils needing to rip something apart. I get back up ready to end this. I pick up the copy with magic, and toss it straight at Discord who didn't expect to be assaulted with his own copy.

Discord, and the copy fall, but the copy falls on it's head cracking it's skull open while Discord floats down with growing fear. "OK OK ROY. Calm down we can talk it out ok?" Discord says pleading while trying to get away as I stop him with magic.

"Ok Discord we can talk it out. Now if you want to survive I suggest you teleport everyone back to their homes." I start to haggle with Discord who wants to keep his life.

"I have a better idea. I let everyone out, and." Discord says with a growing smile.

"And what?" I ask him confused.

"And you stay here you brainless fool." Discord says making everything light up with magic. I use my magic to detect every living thing around me. Discord was teleporting everyone out, and back to their homes, but when Discord disappears I feel a ping of loneliness as there is no life around me.

I am left to roam this place alone until I can find a way out, because I apparently can't teleport myself out. Discord, and his tricks have got me on edge, and my bloodlust still hasn't died down.

I sat up against a wall, and tended to my leg. The wound was worse than I thought. All because I stood on it too much after it got sliced open, but without the right tools I am unable to completely patch it up so i'm stuck to limping, and hobbling my way around this maze.

"Discord just you wait. I will find a way to reverse this, and I have already got you once. If I can do that once I can do it again." I say knowing Discord can hear where ever he is at.

"Oh Roy you don't know what I have in store for you since you are the only pony left in the maze. So instead of me waiting why don't you just wait for me to end your life. Alright?" Discord says without showing his position.

"I swear Discord I am going to end your life in a more 'brutal' manner so you why don't you wait as I said a few seconds ago." I tell Discord slowly growing annoyed, and after that Discord didn't reply. I just hope he isn't working on an army of those things that tried to kill me earlier. I remember after talking to Discord my flip blade is on that copies top right leg. I retrieve it with no trouble, and slip it on, and since I finally have a way to kill quickly I have a small sense of safety return.

Now Discord doesn't know what I have in store for him just because he decided to keep me in this place, and not let everyone out. Next Chapter: The skinning of Discord Estimated time remaining: 7 Minutes
