Episode 3: The Return of Discord

{{Opening Scene: Canterlot, night}}

On a dark cloudy night, Princess Celestia was looking out her window as she felt it in her heart that something was going to happen.

P. Celestia: "I feel a disturbance in the harmonic force."

Just then, a bright light flash out of nowhere, earning a shock look from Princess Celestia.

P. Celestia: "Oh no! Don't let it be him... I must send a letter to Twilight and her friends."

{{Scene Change: Golden Oak Location, morning}}

Twilight called her friends and Spike for a meeting.

R. Dash: "So, Twilight, what's with the emergency meeting?"

Twilight: "Princess Celestia has just wrote me a letter saying that Discord has return."

Everyone minus Twilight gasped in horror.

Twilight: "Here, listen to this: 'My faithful student. If you get this letter, I must warn you. Discord has returned yet again and I fear he'll be causing more problems than before. It would take more than you and your friends to beat him with the Elements of Harmony this time. Please bring Speedy with you. He may be a great ally to you all. Good luck. Signed Princess Celestia.'"

R. Dash: "So, Blue Boy's going to help us."

Applejack: "Where in tarnation is he anyway?"

Suddenly, Speedy arrives.

Speedy: "You rang?"

Twilight: "Ah, good. Your here. I have a question to ask you."

Speedy: "What is it?"

Twilight: "Are you willing to risk your life to help all lives and protect Equestria?"

Speedy: "I'll do anything to keep my friends and all of Equestria safe. Why? What's happening?"

Twilight: "Princess Celestia warned us that our old enemy is coming back. His name is Discord, the God of Chaos."

Speedy: "A God of Chaos? Hmm, okay. Seems like you girls fought him before. I'll help whatever I can."

Pinkie hugs Speedy tightly, earning a soft grunt from the Hedgyian.

Pinkie: "HOORAY!! Speedy's coming along with us to stop Discord! This is going to be fun."

Rainbow Dash glares at Pinkie, who separates herself from the Hedgyian.

Speedy: "So, where are we going?"

{{Scene Change: Canterlot Gardens}}

Rarity: "At the famous and (most beautiful) Canterlot Gardens, darling."

They arrived to see everything is complete chaos. Clouds are raining chocolate milk, houses were upside down, flowers are now giant eating plants, and birds have turned into evil giant vultures.

Speedy: "Hmm... I'd take it this is Discord's doing."

Fluttershy shivering with fear, nods at Speedy.

R. Dash: "That jerk doesn't know what's coming to him. We got ourselves a cool Hedgyian to back us up. If anyone can beat him, you can Blue Boy."

Speedy blushes.

Speedy: "W-Wow. Thanks, Dashie."

The rest of the Mane Six glares at Rainbow Dash, who stick her tongue out at them.

Suddenly, the plants pop out of the ground and were beginning to attack. However, Speedy took them out with ease thanks to his speed and his "Homing Attack" technique, leaving everyone in shock and awe.

Twilight: "Quick! To the gardens."

The group rushed to the gardens to confront and stop Discord. However, before they could get in there, a maze popped up in front of them.

Speedy: "What the...? A maze..."

Applejack: "That's right, Sugarcube. We all went through it last time."

Speedy: "So what, do we have to split up and each find Discord?"

Twilight: "Yes, but this is bound to be different than last time. Look."

They saw a magically craved on stone were the rules that Discord left: "Hello again, everyone. I am back and I want revenge. As usual, the rules are simple. No flying, no magic, and most importantly to your new rat friend there, NO SPEED!"

Suddenly, Twilight and Rarity's horns were poofed away, as well as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's wings, and Speedy can't run fast anymore.

Speedy: "HUH!! I can't use my speed anymore! And how dare he call me rat. It's Hedgyian!"

R. Dash: "Just ignore him, Speedy. He always does this to us when we first stop him. Luckily, there's a way to defeat him."

Speedy: "How?"

Twilight: "We have the Elements of Harmony with us."

Speedy: "Elements of Harmony...?"

Twilight: "The Elements of Harmony are six magical items that can turn anyone to stone. My is the element of Magic."

Fluttershy: "My element is Kindness."

Pinkie: "Mine is Laughter."

Applejack: "I'm Honestly."

Rarity: "Mine is Generosity, darling."

R. Dash: "And mine is Loyalty."

Twilight: "And these elements are somewhere in the maze. So, we need to split up and find them."

Spike: "Man, Discord is so gonna get it."

Speedy: "So, there's only six elements. Is there another element left?"

Twilight: "I don't know. There hasn't been a seventh element in Equestria. Not even I or the princesses think of it."

Speedy: "Well, I guess we're going to go for it then. Okay, here's the plan."

Minutes later, the plan goes into motion. They all split up. Twilight goes with Spike, Fluttershy goes with Rarity and Applejack, Rainbow Dash goes with Pinkie Pie, and Speedy goes alone.

Speedy: "Best of luck to you all."

20 minutes later...

Speedy was still walking.

Speedy: "Man, I think I'm going in a circle."

At that moment, Discord appeared:

Discord: "Hello there, newcomer."

Speedy: "You're no friend of mine. If you're here to fight me, then I'm ready when you are!"

He then gets into his fighting stance.

Discord: "Oh relax, you little rat, I'm here to fight."

Speedy: "First of all; I'm a Hedgyian and second; what are you some crazy slap up of dragon, billy goat, horse and snake? Because you look like Dipcord to me. *laughs* Get it, Dipcord?"

Discord was angry by that nickname.

Discord: "Grrrr! I'll let that one slide for now. Just hear me out, rodent. You have the potential I'm looking for."

Speedy: "What are you talking about?"

Discord: You, Speedy the Hedgyian, join forces with me and together, we cause CHAOS to this land and be kings. WE CAN RULE ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!"

Speedy: "Are we talking about Manehattan or Appleloosa? No. Sorry I don't team up losers. Or you know psychopathic ones."

Discord: "Ah well, your lost... of LIFE!!"

Discord, like a snake, wrapped himself on Speedy, who was struggling to get free.

Discord: "Let's see how much I can corrupt you."

The god of chaos was now using his magic to try to make Sonic his own soldier. But just like Dark Gaia what did to Sonic in Unleashed, Discord could not change Speedy's pure heart.

Discord: "Ohh, you're good."

Speedy: "I'm not here to impress you. I'm here to put a stop to you before you hurt anyone else."

Discord: "I have a better idea. Since you won't join me, I'll just make my own Hedgyian."

Speedy: "What?"

Discord uses his dark magic to makeshift his own "Speedy" and right there, a flash of light blinded Speedy and put a smile on Discord face. With his vision back, Speedy saw that he was free from Discord and he saw him standing right in front of him with an evil grin on his face.

Speedy: "I don't know what you did but I'm still going to stop you."

Speedy was about to punch Discord but was punched straight in his jaw. Speedy then fell to the ground about to pass out.

Discord: "You should've accepted my offer, you rodent. Ah well, now I have my own partner."

Speedy: "W-What?"

The new partner then stomped Speedy in his head, causing him to black out. Then he revealed himself:

Scourge: "Nighty night, loser!"

And so, everything fade to darkness after Scourge laughs echoing.

Episode cleared.
