The Knife that broke Discord's back

Lime Jelly

Undiluted Energy. That's all I felt at the time that signal hit the skies above Canterlot and the wail of agony swam through the streets. Next time I feel conscious, I am sprinting through the walkways and trotting paths of the city, hoping that I'm not too late, but what I shouldn't be late for, I have no clue.

"Why do I do this to myself?" I whisper as if someone can hear me, but the blackness of night is all that I see as I seek answers to what I am doing. I can't imagine the face on the pony that made that scream, the agonizing stare.

"I swear to my name, Lime Jelly, that the pony that made that agonizing scream will be made happy again." I think as I start to move faster, hoping my Earth Pony Legs can handle the strain. I've been galloping so fast for at least 10 minutes straight, trying to get to the castle and hoping I'm not to late to save the poor creature.

"Thank Celestia." I say under a heavy exhale as I find the the balcony and then....I can't believe my sore eyes...

Orchid Dew

A Surge. That was the thing that ignited my long-hidden passion of life and the ponies around me. Energy swimming through my every muscle as if a ghost had possessed my very physical presence. I can only feel a sad drop in my heart.

Next time my brain switches back into the lead, I am using a basic levitation spell to make platforms up to where that scream came from, but there is a magic shield around the area. I try to push through with just physical body weight and strength. It seems to be blocking Unicorns from getting inside using magic, but I have another way in.

Greenery's uncle, Juniper Juice, is a chef in the Royal Guard Barracks and he showed both of us a secret passage into the barracks' kitchen from the garden maze when we were very young. I guess you can thank my best friend and boss' uncle for saving my hide again. He does this sort of thing often, Uncle JJ as she calls him has known me since I was just foal even though Greenery is three years older then me, we've been friends since school.

I find the entrance to the large hedge maze and kick open a painted false door hidden in the first shrub on the left. I crawl in and by the skin of my teeth, I make it in without dying of heat stroke because it was burning up in that passage since its underground and very tight for my now full grown body.

A battle is raging upstairs and I run up at a speed I didn't even know I could utilize since I'm rather stocky for a mare which is probable why I'm so accident-prone. I can see the balcony I tried to climb up on and I turn the corner to head towards the hallway to the throne room and...and...I don't know what I'm seeing...

Burnt Oak

Renewal of Faith. My faith in the world being mysteriously charged as if by an electric generator. My Name is Burnt Oak and I am currently sprinting from my cabin to Canterlot Castle. I don't know why exactly, but I could guess that it's that Element and I say it's calling me. My inner fire burning as if the anger I have felt since day one was suddenly being used for a heroic purpose in opposition to just smacking somepony's face into the ground.

My kryptonite seems to be my own anger, my own emotion turning against me. My weakness is my hotheadedness and it has ruled my life for as long as I can remember, but suddenly I feel strong enough to lift away the blanket of emotion.

Then, without realizing it, I sprint right through the gate and turn the corner. I...I can't be seeing this...

Berry Icicle

Fear, just plain Fear. That's the main thing that hit my mind like a mortar shell. I couldn't believe Yew had gone ahead of me going towards the Castle while I was hiding right here next the the gate. My mind is racing, my life is flashing before me, but I can't believe I'm just sitting here, so I'm not going to just sit here.

"No!" I run into the castle and thank Celestia I did because I don't know if Yew Leaf is unconscious or dead (Oh, Please don't be dead.), but he is incapacitated in some way, shape or form.

I run into the fray because it seems five other ponies have already started to battle whoever that is in that dark green cloak, but it seems to be to no avail. Is that who...who I think it is....
