Oops, late post here!
@magenta Cool!
@whitefire No prob! And man, how did you get that question right?? 😱
@sstwinz @sandstorm99 @ems

"Welcome Umberisk. Now, your answer was correct. Good job." Pepper added Umberisk's name to the score board and hung a 1 next to it. He suddenly realized that he hadn't said anything in forever.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooo LIGHTNING!!!!!!" He screamed and cheered.
Discord turned away and faced Lightning. "Now, its trouble time!" He surrounded Lightnings head in a bubble of water for a few seconds, waiting until she started choking a little before he made the bubble splash to the floor, getting Lightning soaking wet in the process. "There, that wasn't that bad, was it?" He then turned to the pony Umberisk and tickled her for a few seconds. "Ok, next question. Who were the 6 ponies who founded Equestria? No hint this time, this should be very easy."

@sandstorm99 @ems Why'd you have to post before meeeeeeee???? â˜šī¸ @sstwins @whitefire @magenta

Lightning couldn't breathe. Her head was surrounded by water, making it impossible to open her mouth. The weirdest thing was, the rest of her body still felt dry. This tricked her into thinking that her head was dry as well, and she opened her mouth to take in a breath, filling her lungs with water. As soon as she began to choke, the water fell to the ground, soaking her. She collapsed, wheezing. She heard Discord ask the next question. "Who were the 6 ponies who founded Equestria?" Her head felt a little weird, but she knew the answer. Shadow answered the question, but it seemed like she missed a few. Lightning slammed her hoof onto the buzzer and spouted off, "Commander Tornado, Princess Poppy, Smart Cake, Clever the Clover, Mayor Gelatin, and Private Potassium." Something seemed wrong with her answer, but she couldn't tell what. Her head felt like it was filled with water.

Umberisk was unfazed as the Lord of Chaos tickled her. Her blue-gray gaze was unwavering as she answered the question.
"Chancellor Pudding Head, Clover the Clever, Smart Cookie, Commander Hurricane, Princess Platinum, and Private Pansy."

@SSTwins Well, "Terra" is Latin for Earth, and if both names start with "T," it kinda makes sense.

@magenta@whitefire Wow! That's neat. It was a story reference, so I really though that no one would get it!
@sstwinz Your answer was so funny!!!! @sandstorm99 @ems

"Well, done again Umberisk. Also, Shadow and Lightning, you will receive the trouble this round."
Pepper added a point to the scoreboard in Umberisk's favor. "Come oooooooooon Lightning! Show 'em what you're made of!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Discord snapped his fingers, and the wings of Lightning and Shadow were removed. "Your wings have been removed for 2 turns. That's your trouble." He then flipped around and tickled Umberisk some again. "Now then, next question. Who were the original Element of Harmony bearers, and what did the elements represent at the time?"

Umberisk's mind reeled as she fought for the answer.
"The original bearers were Celestia and Luna, and they stood for the same things they do today," she said firmly, hoping she was correct.

Midnight Splash just stared in shock, not quite registering she was part of a gameshow. Quickly, she shook her mane, listening as Shadow answered. If she were to get any points (WHatever they were for) She better start listening and paying attention.

@sandstorm99 @ems @sstwins @whitefire @magenta

A very deep inner feeling of panic invested itself in Lightning when her wings were taken. She kept looking back, as if maybe they had come back in the few seconds from when she had last looked. She heard Discord ask the next question through her panic, "What species of pony magically disappeared 5,000 years ago? Hint: They didn't live in the places that ponies live today." Lightning sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She had to get this question right. She remembered being a filly in Cloudsdale's School for Gifted Pegasi in history class when they had discussed the different types of ponies. Even though they had learned about many kinds of ponies, one species had especially intrigued Lightning. They were called sea ponies, and had lived in the seas of Equestria. They had disappeared many years ago, and had few records to show that they had even excited at all. She was reaching her hoof for the buzzer when she heard Shadow ring in next to her. "The Crystal Ponies!" The filly shouted. Lightning cringed for the filly. The Crystal Ponies had disappeared 1,000 years ago, not 5,000. She buzzed in. "The sea ponies?" She answered, slightly hesitantly. She definitely did not want more trouble.

@magenta @whitefire @sstwinz @sandstorm99 @ems Hurry up and get some right! 😉

"Wrong again Shadow!" Discord crowed. "And yes, Lightning is correct."
Discord magical changed the scoreboard, leaving Pepper holding a blank card. However, he quickly got over his misery and began cheering for Lightning again.
Discord quickly made the mane of Shadow puff up so that it obstructed her face, while tickling Lightning. "Onwards! Who is the most famous pegasus of all time, responsible for leading a battle against the griffons and creating a system to manage all weather?"

No real answer in mind, so first one to guess wins the point!

Lightning quickly buzzed in. This question was easy, and she needed the point to be tied for the lead! "Storm Shadow." She said, her voice slightly breathy.

Sorry it's so short, Lightning really wants to win! 😊

Midnight Splash didn't know what to do, all these ponies were so much smarter than her and knew all the answers.. her? She was nothing. Just a pony who got caught up in the mess of things.. right? Or maybe she did have a talent that she didn't discover yet..? Could it be? Probably not.

"Well done Lightning! We are now in a tie for first place between Lightning and Umberisk."
Pepper added another point to the scoreboard, grinning wildly. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Disord sent a shock of magic to tickle Lightning. "Next question: What potion caused a prince and princess to miss out on all of their duties in the Medical age, which caused their kingdom to fall? Hint: Hearts and Hooves day."

"And one point for Umberisk!"
Pepper added the new count to the scoreboard, booing while he did it.
"And now, our next question. What magical body of water can be used to create duplicates of yourself, and was hidden away after the duplicates of an evil dictator tried to conquer and enslave Equestria?"

"Correct again!"
Pepper added another point to the scoreboard. He glared at Umberisk, perhaps a sign that the laughing gas was beginning to wear off.
"Let's see who can answer this. What holiday is held every year, which "celebrates" a certain princess. Hint: *hum hum hum*, what a fright, give us something sweet to bite."

Lightning gulped. This was a hard one. She closed her eyes and hit the buzzer. She took a deep breath and began to speak, the words coming to mind easily. "Rainbow Dash: Cloudsdale. Fluttershy: Cloudsdale. Applejack: Ponyville. Rarity: Ponyville. Pinkie Pie: Ponyville. And Twilight Sparkle: Canterlot." She finished steadily.

Shadow reached for the buzzer, but was too late. Last question? Yup. She was stuck here forever. Oh well. Not like she was wanted anywhere else either. /Well.../ Shadow's mind went blank. She had in fact tied for last place; what did that mean? Would she and Midnight stay forever? /Doesn't really matter, I guess./ Shadow thought dully. At least she still had her wings.

"And Lightning wins the game!" Discord grabbed Lightning by her front hoof and rose her into the air. "She now gets an express pass to wherever she pleases! And as for everyone else," Discord dropped Lightning and let her float in the air beside him. "We're going to have some fun." Discord said the last phrase particularly menacingly and chuckled. He then snapped out of it and turned back to Lightning. "Oh yes, I forgot that I changed the rules. You may choose 1 other pony to take with you, IF you can give me a good reason to let them leave. The clock is ticking, make your decision!"
