“Jesus Christ there you guys are!” I said; running towards Tyler; we had been wandering around Canterlot for the last 24 hours and of all places we find the team in a random bar.

“Hey guys you find the stone?” He asked finishing off his beer

“Yea; we found 2 actually now get off your ass and help us find the last part of the stone.”

“Fine, fine, fine” He said heading to the door; the entire team following

***

“Here we are; finally” Dan said; we had finally found the maze. It was massive, a giant green jungle of 90 degree angles and shit-tons of flammable grass as barriers.

“So what is the best way to do this” I asked

“Simple; let’s burn it” Nico said

“You cannot burn any of this maze!” A voice came out behind us; who was it?

Everypony turned around to see a surprising sight. This thing had the head of a pony; a lion’s paw and an assortment of other abnormal features.

“Discord!” Twilight screamed

“Hello again Twilight; I see we brought some additional help?” He said in a snide voice

“Is this a retarded pony or am I high?” Tyler asked rubbing his eyes

“You are not; but there are some RULES in my garden”

“It is the princess’s garden” Applejack spoke up

“Shut up!” He said with a wave of his lion’s paw “Here are the rules. No fire, no wings, no magic, no… what is that thing?” He was looking at Ayan

“He is just a pony” I said in a defensive tone

“Fine you can keep whatever that thing is” He said; I blinked my eyes only to find myself in a different place; was I teleported? I was!

“Jesus christ he can do that?” I said; he took my wings too!

“Yes I am magic!” He said “I am Discord after all” He gave out a cackle

“Whatever” Tyler said flipping him off.

“Okay mares let’s do this!” I heard Twilight say; followed by cheering and the racing of hooves.

“Did they just run off?” I asked

“I think so” Dan said

“Okay then; guys meet in the middle.”

Everyone agreed and we were off.

It was aggravating being in a maze alone; I didn’t know where the jewels were but I knew I had to find them. I just hoped everyone else would do fine.

***

“Dammit where is every pony” Mike muttered; it was annoying, this place was MASSIVE. He did his share of the deal; what are the odds though his other friends did jack and got drunk while they almost got shot by an English pony. Mike was so deep in thought he almost fell right on Twilight as he turned the corner.

“O hey Twilight” He said

“Hey MP” She said with a lusty look

“Do you think any of the others know about us?” Mike said; looking around to make sure it was just the two of them

“Nope” Twilight said; walking towards him “Just you and I know”

“I think Vespi has an idea but-“Mike was stopped short by Twilight who practically jumped him.

"Forgot to tell you; we are alone" She said with a giggle

***

“Please….” Discord begged

“No go away!” Dan said; first he is stuck in the maze and now he is being begged to screw over his friends.

“Come on!” Discord begged, grabbing onto his hoof “It’ll be worth it!”

“No”

“Please?”

“No”

“Please?”

“No”

“Fine, there are other ponies you know” Discord said whipping away a tear;

“Okay then leave me alone.” Dan said; for a super villain this guy was a bitch.

***

“Thank god I found you C” Tyler said; he wasn’t really concerned about the stone; more or less about not getting killed out in the middle of a maze.

“Good to see some pony too” C replied

“Find anything?” Tyler asked

“Nope”

“I found this” Conor lifted up a can of Gasoline and a lighter; wearing a pyromaniac’s maniacal smile.

“Where did you find this?”

“Asked the Russian dude” Conor said; beginning to pour the gasoline around a wall of lush green.

“Conor I’d be careful if I were you”

“Relax bro”

***

“Wait what…” Ayan said; something was wrong here. He had innocently turned a corner into a small opening; only to find a care package; right in the middle.

The second Ayan dropped down to grab the care package Discord appeared.

“Hello Ayan” He said with a smile “I have a proposition for you”

“Whoa there” Ayan said loading his assault rifle “My barn door doesn’t swing that way”

“O my god not like that” Discord said face palming himself “I need your help.”

“Okay” Ayan said

“I need you to do me a little favor” Discord said gesturing with his hand “Kill all your friends, kill everyone in this maze, then kill yourself; then you can have this care package.”

Ayan waited a second “No thanks; I will take this care package though” Ayan walked over and stole the care package.

“Fine; I hate you the most anyways!” Discord said “You’re the 7th friend! The mares managed to survive with only 6!”

“Yea” Ayan said, giving dual thumbs up “Well I made the experience 30% cooler”

***

“Hey Dashie; where do y’all think we are going?” Apple Jack said; they had been trapped here once, nonetheless it still seemed like an impossible labyrinth.

“No clue; just keep looking” Dashie said; the 2 turned a corner to see Nico digging a hole

“Hey there Augustus; what are you doing?” Applejack asked; Nico jumped and turned around

“O nothing; just trying to dig my way out.” He grimaced at the hole; it was only 3 feet deep and he was already tired.

“Okay…” Rainbow Dash said… “Hey do you guys smell smoke?”

“Yea I smell that too…” Applejack added

“Wait a second… aw crap” Nico said

***

Everypony was teleported right back to the start. We all saw in the distance that there was a fire raging in the far back; its crimson red flames burning away at the feeble green. We also saw Twilight and Mikes surprised looks when they were in clear sight of 10 other ponies; apprently neither were virgins anymore...

“I warned you all!” Discord said “No FIRE!” He then turned to Twilight and Mike "And i warned you; use a dam condom!" Both blushed

“Sorry man; I hate mazes” Conor said; trying to keep the situation in check

“Fine; well I’m keeping the last stone now” Discord said; he gave a mischievous smile and showed us the last stone; hiding the entire time in his back pocket.

“Really, you think you’ve won?” Ayan asked, stepping forward. “I have something better than a stone; friends!”

Discord laughed; I was disappointed I felt like-

“With sniper rifles: SHOOT THAT MUTHA!”

I saw a lone red dot flash and shoot Discord right on the thigh; he dropped to the planet with a loud thump; meanwhile Ayan grabbed us all and made us duck far away.

“EVERYONE SHOOT AT THE SAME TIME!” Ayan screamed; now the sole laser dot was being helped by dozens of others, all surprisingly missing. We could see the lead travel sometimes only centimeters away from Discord; smashing into the ground.

“PREDATOR MISSLE! PREDDIE! PREDDIE!” Ayan screamed into his headset; Mike snatched up Ayan’s headset “NO PREDATORS! JUST AC-130 HIM!”

Ever hear “Holiday” by Green day? Well when I saw several large 20m shells smash into Discord; followed by a massive 135m shell I thought of that song.

Can I get another amen?

Amen!

There is a flag wrapped around a score of men!

Aye!

When the dust cleared and the song left my head Discord was nothing short of dust. The damaged stone was there; not incorrigibly damaged but still could be passed down as “Used”

“Thank god” Tyler said “Ayan where did you guys get this stuff?”

“I have my places” He said with a wink.

“Let’s get back to the princess; she will want to defeat Nightmare moon now.

“Afterwards can we have a party?” Pinkie Pie butted in.

“Sure… first round is on me too" I said with a smile
