"I must write a letter to the elements right away," Celestia said floating a piece of parchment with a quill. She began to write furiously.

Shining Armor ran outside to ready the guards. Celestia then sent the message. A small rumbling was heard outside

"W-what was that?" I asked with fear as I gripped my sword tight.

Celestia went to check the balcony,"Discord is gone!"

A purple smoke cloud appeared between us. When it cleared I saw Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, and the others standing there.

"We came as soon as we could..."Twilight said. She sounded a little weak from the long teleportation spells.

"Good, now we must get to the Elements of Harmon--"Princess Celestia was cut off.

All of us whipped to the door as a grey smoke cloud appeared and quickly vanishing.Where the dull puffs were
stood the chimera like figure.Discord.I gripped my sword tight.

"Hello, everypony. And human,"Discord mocked,"So pathetic. You elements couldn't hold me for a thousand years in the first place. But only one measly year.I have been watching you all, closely, VERY CLOSELY. You can't beat me this time.You. Don't. Have. The. Power."Discord got close to applejack and pointed at her face on the first emphasized word. Next he went to Rainbow Dash, then Twilight, after her was Rarity, then Fluttershy. Fluttershy had tears well up in her eyes. Applejack had a look of annoyance. Rarity looked quite afraid. Rainbow Dash seemed like she was resisting to charge with all her might. Twilight was biting her lip.

I stepped forward gulping.I quickly sent a prayer mentally and hefted the sword to my side.

"Hahahahahah,"Discord laughed,"YOU! Think you can take me down?"he mocked.

"I-I'll try..."I muttered out.

"Amos, don't risk your life."Celestia was watching with worry in her eyes as she spoke.

"I'd rather lose it before I lose my friends. If what Fluttershy told me about Discord is true..."Celestia cracked a smile at my words while she dropped a tear.

"Oh how touching. Dear Celestia has feelings for someone who came from an unknown, cruel world."Discord teased.

"Shut up! That's behind me."I retorted as I swung at him.

He jumped back,"I don't think it is..."Discord snapped his fingers and wavy forms of my parents holding their previous weapons.

"You won't escape from us now..."the wavy form of my mother spoke.

I curled up into a ball muttering,"Go away...g-go away...y-you can't kill me..."over and over while I slowly cried remembering all the memories.

Discord smirked evilly as he flew out the balcony tearing the curtains apart. The wavy forms of my parents disappeared but, I was still curled up crying and sobbing. I felt a hoof on my back that then went into a hug.I opened my eyes and looked behind to me. I was greeted by Fluttershy.

"It's okay...It's okay. They're gone and you're safe."she calmed me.

I slowly stood wiping the tears returning the hug.

"Thank you, Fluttershy."

"Oh, it's no problem,"she blushed and removed herself from the hug.She hid behind her mane,"But, we must get going. We need to stop Discord."

I picked up my sword,"Right."

"Then lets git ta goin'!" Applejack said and all of us ran down the corridors.Luna had joined us along the way.

Twilight gave out the elements once we were all outside.Everything was choatic. Buildings were constantly shifting between themselves and plants would bloom die and regrow very fast.

"This makes no sense."I said aloud.

"Discord is the god of chaos,"Celestia stated,"We must stay here and try to keep everypony calm.You seven find and defeat Discord."

The six mares nodded and Twilight teleported us back to Ponyville.It was just like she had described. I gripped my sword tight as I felt some power in the Everfree forest, which remained the same. While the six chatted among where to search I slipped away.

As I got to the forest I heard my blood mother's speak,"Come here, Amos.We need to kill you...."

I blasted off into the forest and a while after I walked. I heard some footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw a shocking sight.

"Y-you guys...You won't kill me. I have come too far." I said to my real parents who were oddly in front of me.

"Oh, but we can.All thanks to that fellow, Discord."my dad had said.

"Rrrrr. Well let's finish this." I charged them gripping the sword. They both pulled knives they had gotten from
the house on Earth.

I swung down upon my dad who charged with me. We locked weapons. We kept locking weapons, but I finally bested him thanks to the training schedule Rainbow Dash had given me. My sword impaled his chest and blood ran down the side of his mouth as he coughed and held a scowl. I moved to the left and pulled my sword fresh with spilled blood from his chest. My mother had almost stabbed me. As she stumbled forward not expecting me to move I kicked her in the side hard.

"Now you're dead!!!"she yelled at me with anger in her eyes.

She threw one knife which buzzed past my ear and she was about to bring the other down upon my neck,
but I positioned the sword in front of me at the last moment. Which she ran into.

"You guys won't scare me anymore..."I said as my mother slipped off my bloody blade from my mother dead just like my father.

"Very good. You bested them. I didn't think you had it in you." I heard discord behind me.I whipped around and there he was.

"So there you are..."

"Yes.I, Discord, have shown myself. You really shouldn't trust those ponies. They just want to study you."

"Yeah right!They care about me especially mom and Fluttershy."

"Oh ho. So you call Celestia your mother. This is too rich."

"Shut up, and face me!"I said.

"Fine then...I won't run."

I ran to him and swung my sword down he blocked with a claw and yawned. I kept swinging to which he kept blocking or moved out of the way.

"What the..."

"Getting frustrated, boy?"he asked and laughed.

Fluttershy and the others finally found me and saw me fighting Discord.

"You are getting on my nerves!!!" I screamed and hit very hard to which it clipped his claw clean off. I kept the
blade moving and spun around barely cutting his leg.

"Oi, you wretched boy...That wasn't nice,"he smiled,"Hey, look. It's your betraying supposed 'friends'.They just
want to use you."

"Don't listen ta em', Amos."Applejack said.

"You know Discord, they had sympathy for my fate when I thought no one did. They gave me hope. You can't possibly hope to put us apart."

"Watch me."he laughed.

The six mares walked over behind me wearing the elements.

"You won't. As they taught me Friendship can indeed be magic. Friendship is almost everything."

Something sparked inside of me when that was said. Something that made me feel good. A white light came from my chest as a gem matching the light emerged. It was shaped in the sword I held. A golden object followed when it was completely out it had been a glove which opened at the bottom. It zoomed to my hand holding the sword. The sword floated and the glove split itself in two then snapped itself over my hand. The sword returned to my hand.

A word floated in my mind before I muttered it out,"Sympathy..."

The six mares were staring in awe of what had just conspired. Discord was speechless. The six mares came to their senses and started to activate the Elements of Harmony.I felt compelled to walk over and so I did. When they were about to release I was under them and floated right below Twilight not too high from the ground. The white sword gem glowed upon my hand and its symbol flooded out with the others as the rainbow shot from us. Instead of what I heard it glowed not only sparkled. It struck Discord and instead of it turning him to stone it turned him into obsidian. Ponyville far in the distance slowly was returned to normal as we all floated down. My new power here had affected my body. It seemed I skipped some years. I felt fourteen years old.

Twilight spoke up,"Just what was that!?"

"I-I think the elements called forth a seventh for power to keep harmony...At least that's what my heart is telling my mind..."I replied staring at the glove.

Pinkie began to talk,"Oh!My!Gosh!Then that means you are like us!I am so excited I could throw a thousand parties!"she screamed then began to bounce around us.

"They was a might somethin', Amos."Applejack joined in.

"It was Awesome!But not as awesome as me though."Dash said.

"It was a fantastic show, indeed, Darling."Rarity complimented.

"I don't even know what to do now."I said.

"K-keep moving."Fluttershy said.I smiled.

"It's like you always know what to say."I said and she blushed and hid behind her mane.

"We should probably head back to Canterlot and tell the Princesses."Twilight said.

We all agreed and Twilight teleported us to the throne room.

They all bowed but I just nodded knowing that I was like her son.

"Rise."Celestia said short and sweet.

"Um...mom. Something very interesting has come up."

"What is it, Amos?"She asked the throne room dead quiet.

I raised my hand and she gasped with an open mouth.

"We think this is a new Element of Harmony."Twilight added.

"I think it is sympathy. The word came to my head again and again when it emerged from within me."

"Well, this is very unexpected.Could I see it?"Celestia asked.

I ran my finger along a crease on the bottom of the gold gauntlet like glove. It popped open and I handed it to her.

"This is indeed an Element of Harmony. It probably was created for power to create harmony."Celestia said with much wisdom.

"Oh and mom?"I had a great question to ask.

"Yes?"she replied wanting to know what I had to say.

"Can I live in Ponyville?"

Celestia was shocked and her mouth moved to almost make a no but she changed her mind,"Yes."she smiled with me.

"Thank you, mom."I gave her a quick hug to which she returned,"I better get packing then."
