Chapter 5:
Rescue: Part 1
As I flew toward Ponyville, I questioned why a sound of horror would be coming from a place as peaceful as this. Discord and I continued looking for the source of the sound. We flew over multiple land marks that I recognized from the show: the Library, Sugar Cube Corner, Carousel Boutique, and Town Hall. I would have stopped to ask if anypony had heard anything, but before I could attempt a landing, another site caught my eye.
"Hey, Discord?"
"Yes, Draco?" he said, still looking, "What is it?"
"When did Ponyville get night clubs?"
Discord just gave me a puzzled look before turning in the direction I was facing. I saw his jaw hit the ground, he was in utter shock at the bright neon sign in the distance. It read simply 'X' in bright neon green, and was located right at the edge of Ponyville.
I don't know why, but something was telling me that the source of the noise we had heard earlier was coming from there. I began to steer myself that way. As we closed in Discord wrapped around my neck and held himself closer for comfort. I felt the warmth his body was giving off, it was relaxing, but I still had to focused on the task at hand, well, at hoof.
As we closed in we could hear the sound of the bass of the clubs music. I began to bang my head along with the music as I flew my way towards the club. Discord was covering his ears, he was obviously not very fond of the volume. He could only bare it for so long, with a quick snap of his eagle claw he shrunk and buried himself into my mane. I giggled at the feel of the serpent like deity moving atop my head.
"What is that noise?" Discord yelled through my mane.
"I don't know what you call it here, but on my planet it would be called 'Dub Step', it's a type of music." I replied.
We landed on top of the building, luckily without gathering the attention of anypony in the line outside of the club. I looked around, my mind was telling me this is where I had to be to find the source of the screech.
"Draco," Discord said popping out of my mane, "why have we stopped?"
"I think this is..." I began, but the sound of glass shattering grabbed my attention.
I galloped to the edge of one side of the building and peeked over the side to see what was the noise was. But what I saw instead, shocked and angered me.
What I was seeing, was two mares being beaten and used my four highly intoxicated stallion. But what was even more off was that only one of the mares was being used as a sex toy, while the other was just being beaten next to a dumpster by one of the stallions. The mare that was being used was one that I noticed from the show, a background pony, but one I thought was best pony nonetheless, Vinyl Scratch. The one being beaten was on a equal level of importance to me as the other, Octavia.
"Draco? What are you...?" Discord started protruding from my mane, but was at a loss for words seeing the scene below. He covered his mouth with his lion paw as he gasped.
If I took a closer look I would have noticed that Vinyl and the four unnamed stallions had genitalia, while Octavia on the other hoof has, well, as she looked in the show, no genitalia at all. (You people know what I mean)
But my mind was raging, and I wasn't able to see this little detail. My heart rate began to quicken at a unnatural rate, yet my blood was running cold. I stumbled back from the side of the roof, and landed on my back, planting my hooves against my head as a sharp pain ran like a mad mare on my brain. Discord, being the timid worry wart that he had become, instantly grew back to normal size and began trying to help me.
"Discord...s-s-stay...b-b-back!"
But Discord, even with his shyness, didn't listen. He was worried about my well being, so he wrapped himself around me, and nuzzled into my chest whimpering. My body continued to thrash around, before settling down, unmoving.
A dark energy coursed through my veins, and my teeth sharpened to a deadly point, which fit into the crevasses between one another perfectly. My once soft coat was quickly replaced with a thin layer of clear scales. Discord felt this and inspected my body as the slow and subtle changes took place. My eyes snapped open, they had changed to a crimson red from the once emerald green and purple they once were.
"Draco?" Discord was still clinging to me as if his life depended on it. He was scared by what he was seeing, and the dark presence that had appeared in the air around us.
Without warning, I shot into the air. The once clear night sky became a hell as storm clouds began to form around, thunder crashed and lightning lit up the sky around me. Discord held tight, but was whimpering like there was no tomorrow. I looked up to the clouds with a murderous gaze, and inhaled deeply before letting out an earth shattering banshee screech.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Which didn't go unnoticed by the civilians below. The young colts and mares waiting to get inside the club began to run, screaming for their homes. Even the bouncers tried their best not to be freaked out over what they had just heard. The club inside was still lively, my hollowing screech must have just sound like it was part of the music.
The dark powers that pulsated through my veins began seeping from my body, it was overflowing. The energy clung to the closest thing that it could, which happened to be Discord. His arms let go of my body, before he started thrashing around, as my power was sent from me to him. But the energy just went in and unlocked his power, his Draconequs power, his Periculum had been unlocked.
His body began to settle from his wild thrashing state arms slumping down to the sides of his body. I still floated there putting my hooves to my temples, shaking my head as the power was still too much, it had been too long since I last let loose like this. While I tried to gain my composure, I was unaware of the changes that happened to Discord. His thick healthy hair that sat atop his head had moved down to his chin, bring back his full beard. His body grew to its original size and mass; his snagle tooth jetted out of his mouth. His misshapen unicorn horn and antler grew as well.
Once he was done with his change, I was done with my pain in the plot headache. We floated there, as our bodies adjusted to this increase in every ability we had. The storm clouds still surrounded us, the evil scene below had kept on going as if nothing had happened, but a flash of lightening and a clap of thunder broke us out of our trances.
In one swift motion I sent myself hurdling towards the alley way. We weren't in our, well, usual state of mind for the time. All we thought of was the different ways to kill four heavily wasted stallions without making too much of a mess. As we moved we mentally agreed that, if there wasn't a blood bath, it wouldn't be any fun.

"H-h-help..." Octavia forced out before she was thrown into the wall yet again.
The stallion who had performed this deed walked up with a broken glass in hoof, "No...hic...pony can...bleach...you," It was clear he was done beating her around and was prepared to have the same sick and twisted 'fun' the other three were having with Vinyl.
He pulled her up off the ground and was ready to drag her over to Vinyl to perform the spell on her, until...
Crunch...Splat.
His head decorated the ally wall with blood and brain matter. Octavia was still cowering in fear, for the stallions hoof still held onto her hair but didn't stay that way as his headless body fell limp on the gravel next to her. The blood that ran down the wall found its way into her mane, she passed out from the amount of bloodshed she had lost during the assault. The other three stallions looked at what had just transpired. One second he was there, the next, his skull was completed obliterated.
They looked for what could have done this, but stumbled around doing so. Until one of them spotted something standing at the end of the alleyway, it looked to be two figures, one a rather large pony, and the other, a snake like being constricting around the ponies neck. All that was easily visible was their silhouette, mine to be precise.
I moved slowly, until I stepped into their vision.The stallions grabbed the nearest weapon they could find in their drunken state, this would actually make things more fun. Vinyl was unaware of what was taking place behind her, she was still tied up and bent over a trash can. But she had been so wore down and used, she couldn't stay awake for long, she blacked out. And it was better that she did, more of the wall was about be painted red.
