Discord and his friends were hanging out in Verona.
"And I said, 'oatmeal? Are you crazy?'" said Pinkie.
Her friends all laughed.
Zypher and some of his friends were with him.
"Oh look, it's the evil Discord Montague!" Zypher walked up to them.
Discord didn't care. "You might feel bad about saying that later. You and I are closer than you think."
Zypher rolled his eyes.
"Why aren't you doing anything?" Pinkie yelled at Discord.
"I don't want to cause any issues."
"Well I don't care about issues." Pinkie went up to Zypher. "I challenge you to a duel."
"Alright." Zypher pulled out a sword. "Let's duel."
They fought in a goofy manner laughing and teasing. Discord became annoyed and tried to stop them.
"Move it! We're dueling!" Zypher tried to push Discord out of the way but accidentally hit Pinkie.
"Uhh. I should get going." Zypher ran away
"Pinkie!" Discord ran over to her. "Are you okay?"
She struggled to get up. "I- I'm not sure. I'm afraid that of you come to find me tomorrow, I will be a grave pony."
The others giggled at her joke before Pinkie fell again and was no longer breathing.
"He killed her!" Exclaimed Apple Jack.
Discord clenched his teeth. Everyone knew he was going into 'evil mode'.
"Discord-" Apple Jack tried to calm him down.
"He is going to pay." Discord snuck up behind Zypher and scared him.
"What do you want?" Asked Zypher.
"Duel me to the death." Discord glared at Zypher.
"Uh- ok." Zypher pulled out his sword. "No magic."
"I don't plan on it."
The two dueled. Zypher would strike at Discord but he would duck, move, or deflect it. Discord had the perfect opportunity to hurt Zypher and he took it.
Discord noticed Princess Cadence flying over and he teleported away.
"What happened?" Cadence shouted as she flew over to make sure Zypher was okay.
Apple Jack sighed. "Zypher accidentally killed Pinkie Pie so-"
"What?" Cadence began to cry. "Pinkie is-"
"I'm pretty sure." Apple Jack put her hoof on Cadence's back. "Discord was really really upset and shocked. He blamed himself since Zypher was just trying to push him away. So Discord struck him."
"Well, Zypher is still alive." Cadence picked him up and summoned a hospital bed for him. "We will try to save him. Where is Pinkie?"
"The others took her to the hospital to see if there's any way she can survive, but I don't think she will. He hit her bad."
Cadence sighed and had one of her guards take Zypher to a hospital.
Not long after the duels, most of Montague, Capulet, and Verona's residents were in the center of Verona.
"Since Discord did not kill Zypher, he will only be exiled from Verona, Capulet, and Montague." Announced Cadence.
"You can't do that to him and not Zypher!" Shouted Celestia. "Besides, he was taking the law into his own claw!"
Montague agreed with her.
"Once Zypher has recovered, we will decide his punishment." Responded Cadence.
"That is not fair!" Argued Twilight. "It was just an accident. Zypher didn't mean to hurt anybody!"
"The decision is final! You are all dismissed to go home!" Cadence was obviously upset about her cousin. "We are all hurting!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Discord was in tears from the shock.
The door to Zecora's hut opened and Zecora walked in with a concerned look.
"Is he alive?" Asked Discord. "Is- Pinkie still alive?"
Zecora sighed. "They are both alive, but I am not so sure that Pinkie will survive."
"And Zypher?"
"If he will die soon I do not know, but you are banned from Verona, Montague, and Capulet, that is so."
"Oh no! How will I be with my dear Fluttershy?"
"Of your punishment I am not a fan, but I do have a plan."
Zecora instructed Discord to leave and go to Mantua, which was a nearby town. Zecora would then find a way to clear his name or get Fluttershy to be with him after he found a sustainable job. But first, he had to sneak out to be with Fluttershy for one night to say goodbye.
Discord was still stick on the fact that he would be away from her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Banished?" Shouted Fluttershy.
"I know." Twilight put her hoof on Fluttershy's back. "He should have been killed!"
Fluttershy began to cry harder.
Rarity rolled her eyes. "He's immortal. You can't exactly just kill him."
"I know! It was rigged."
Fluttershy mumbled to herself. "If he was dead I wouldn't have to deal with the thought of him being out there and me not being able to be with him."
Twilight left and Rarity sat next to Fluttershy.
"I will sneak him in tonight before he has to leave. He can just leave before morning."
Fluttershy whipped her tears away. "Thank you!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a knock at the door.
"Discord you must hide away! I will know what to say."
Zecora opened the door to see Rarity standing there.
"Where's Discord? I came for Fluttershy." Rarity peeked inside.
"Fluttershy?" Discord teleported to the door.
Rarity smiled. "I came to help you plan on how to sneak in to say goodbye to Fluttershy. She's going to miss you!"
Discord sighed. "I'm better off dead." He dramatically snapped a dagger into his hand and took a deep breath before thrusting the dagger into his chest.
"No!" Rarity jumped over to him and ripped the dagger out of his hands before he could slightly touch the dagger to his fur.
Zecora began to scold Discord as he flipped in the floor like a baby.
"Oh stop being a baby!" Shouted Rarity. "Be strong." She sighed. "For Fluttershy."
He perked up and stood straight. With a snap of his claw, he was on top of a flying pig and in green armor. "For Fluttershy!"
