My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Discordian Troubles

Chapter 13

Meanwhile…

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

Pinkie yelped and squealed as she jumped to avoid mousetraps that Eris had set down a couple days earlier. She jumped onto a flagpole and hugged it tight to avoid to still clapping mousetraps.

“ow. My poor butt.” she whined, rubbing where the mousetraps hit her. “dang it. This is getting annoying.” she jumped down onto a clear patch and sighed. “I like practical jokes as much as the next guy but there’s a difference between joking and just plain cruel.” she hopped to another clear patch then to another then to another.

Ever since the gang died 4 days ago, the entire world has effectively gone to Chaos Hell. Nothing is as it was on the world anymore; it has officially turned upside down. Black is white, up is down, dogs and cats are getting along. It is just pure hell. And Discord and Eris love it.

CHOMP!

“Ow!”

Pinkie jumped out of a stream with a crocodile biting her flank. she kicked it in the eye, making it whine like a dog and fall back to the stream. “why do animals and traps always go after my butt?” she whined as she walked to the Manehatten farm. “hey there.” she called out to the CMC.

They looked and lightly smiled. At least Pinkie can bring laughter to dismal days. “hey, Pinkie.” Dinky called out. “what kept you?”

“a bunch of traps and animals who seem to be keen on biting my butt.” she whined. She pulled a paper bag out of nowhere. “maybe this’ll cheer Scootaloo up.” she reached in and pulled out a noise maker.

“a noise maker? Really?” Applebloom asked, not sure if Pinkie is taking this seriously.

“noise makers always cheer up even the most depressed ponies.” Pinkie said with confidence. She blew into it, causing a loud and obnoxious noise. She overdid it and broke it after one blow. “oh.” she sadly said.

“can… I have a try?” someone said from a ways away. They all looked to see a familiar filly approach them. The fillies and colts were surprised and happy to see her, her mother included.

“BABS!” they all happily exclaimed. They ran over and hugged her. “what happened?” “did that knight hurt you?” “where were you?” “oh, Babsy, Babsy, Babsy! I was hoping you were alive!”

Babs blushed in embarrassment. “un… mom? You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends.”

“what happened to you?” Applebloom asked.

Babs laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head. “it’s a… long story.”

Slumped in a corner of the darkest room in the house, Scootaloo silently cried. She lost her family; she lost Soarin’. she lost Rainbow Dash. The Universe hates her and she hates it. No no- she LOATHES it. She grabbed the bloody razor and looked at it. All 4 of her legs were cut up; some still seeping blood.

A knock came from the door, getting her attention. “Scootaloo? You in there?” Babs asked from the other side.

“go away!” Scootaloo cried out. “just… just leave me alone!”

Babs ignored her and came in anyway. “you want to talk?”

“No! just go away!” she cried out.

Babs glanced away for a moment, trying to find the right words to say. “listen, Scootaloo. If this is about Dash, then don’t be worried.”

“Why?”

“because she’s not dead.” Scoot’s stopped crying and wide her eyes, wondering if Babs is telling the truth. “look, Discord told me that Eris did send them to the Afterworld but thanks to their bodies also being taken, they have a chance to come back. Normally, the body stays behind when someone dies. They were sucked in nail and all.”

Scoots couldn’t believe it. It sounds too good to be true. “are *hiccup* are you sure?”

“positive. I betcha that in a few days, they’re all gonna be coming in guns blazing, taking Discord down faster then you can say--”

“and just what do you think you’re doing?” a super-duper peeved Eris asked as she appeared behind her.

Babs and Scoot‘s froze up when she appeared. “eep.”

The smoke from a active volcano filled the sky of a lone island located FAR south of the main continent.

A certain female Draconequus appeared at the volcano’s rim with two fillies in tow. She tossed them to the ground, where they landed on a hard rock.

“I knew something was off about you!” Eris snarled, referring to Babs. “I knew something was off about you as soon as I saw you, you sniveling dreck.” she kicked Babs in the gut. Babs rolled over to hold her gut, then Eris pressed her foot on the filly’s neck. “You were just a spy sent to keep an eye on us, weren’t you?” Babs choked as she tried to shove Eris’ foot off. “WEREN’T YOU!?!” Babs’ vision started to blacken as the smoke and heat from the volcano, plus Eris’ foot on her throat, started to take their toll.

A pebble hit Eris in the head. “HEY!” Scootaloo yelled. “LET HER GO!” she tossed another pebble at Eris. It missed but it pissed her off all the same.

“you… little bitch.” she took her foot off Babs and angrily stormed over to Scoots. Scootaloo was so scared, her legs shook. Eris grabbed Scoots and held her over the rim, right over the lava. Scoots struggled to get free but Eris was holding on tight. “you and mom; you and Dash. The both of you-- no, everyone! You all lied to me! You told me I was the last of my kind; you all told me that all Draconequus’ are evil!”

“n-no we didn’t. Discord… is lying to you.”

“SHUT UP!” Eris was starting to lose it and her ruffled hair was the proof. “You and Mom lied to me! You stole me from my family and lied to me!”

“you… didn’t have a family.” Scoots grunted. “we looked but we didn’t find anyone. And when did we lie to you; and I mean really lie?”

“All the time!” Eris tightened her squeeze. “Papa Discord told me you two never loved me. You all hate me; me, my species, and my power! You all hate it and wish me gone!”

“t-that is not true.” Scoots grunted. “we loved you. We took care of you. Sure, we were afraid, but only for the first hour that we knew you.”

“STOP LYING!” Eris snarled straight to Scoot’s face.

Scoot’s looked into Eris’ eyes and said with unwavering condition: “would I ever lie to my sister?”

Sister… that word raced though Eris’ mind. She had a mother… and a father… but she never had a sister. Her head started to hurt horribly, forcing her to drop Scootaloo and hold & yell it in agony.

Babs ran over to Scoots and held her over as she coughed up a storm. Eris yelled as her head felt like splitting open. “Eris?” Scoots worriedly asked.

Eris whined and held her head as pain raced though it like there’s no tomorrow. She put one hand to the ground to keep her up. “Make it stop…” she whined. Her body began to pulsate. A glyph appeared beneath her and stretched out to cover her area.

“this can’t be good.” Babs said with shaking fear as she and Scoots tried to go around her. They were able to do so and run for the slope.

“Gy….. Gyh…. Ah…. Ge….” the pulses came rapidly as the glyph shone brighter and the pain intensified inside Eris. “gy…. Hr….”

“DDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Everyone connected to Eris felt a shot go though their heart and soul.
