My Little Pony: The Lost Element

My Little Pony: The Lost Element

Prelude: Magic to Stone

It was the coldest day Equestria had seen in a while. The wind swirled in its mystical ways, showering the land in chilly gusts of wind.

On the topmost tower of Canterlot, a chain of events was about to change the world forever. Three alicorn princesses stood their ground against the spirit of discord.

“Discord! Remember who you are! You were reformed!” shouted Celestia, the wind roaring around her.

Discord, who had been over-taken by evil, was not the same spirit of chaos he was before. This was different. It wasn’t just chaos. He was completely evil now. “Princess Celestia! How kind of you to remind me of it! For I am no longer Discord!” His evil laugh echoed all throughout Equestria, being taken through the wind.

“Please Discord! Remember what it was like? To be turned to stone? We’ll have no choice but to turn you back!” Luna shrieked.

He chuckled. “And you, Princess Luna! I thought you of all ponies would understand me! After all, we’ve both been locked away for a while!”

“No Discord!” the third princess spoke, stepping forward.

“Ah! Princess Twilight Sparkle, eh? How is my friend Shutterfly doing?”

“It’s Fluttershy!” a fourth voice echoed. Near the door of the tower, five other ponies stepped out, each with a golden necklace. “And you’re not my friend any longer, Discord!” Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie-Pie, and Rainbow Dash all gathered around the three princesses.

“Here!” Rarity, being a unicorn, levitated a crown onto Twilight’s head. It glowed with the element of Magic. “Beautiful!”

“Surrender Discord! Or get turned to stone!” Celestia roared over the raging wind.

Discord laughed harder than ever, his evil chuckles a million times louder. Thunder boomed! Lightning struck! “You think I’m afraid of those little trinkets? No! For you do not harness the seventh and final element!”

Celestia shook her head in anger. “He’s not going to listen! Use the elements! Turn him to stone!”

Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie-Pie, and Rainbow Dash all powered up the elements around their necks. They began to levitate off the ground, surrounded by energy.

“Wait!” Twilight stepped even closer. “What do you mean the seventh element? There are only six! Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic!”

Discord smiled, his craziness taking over his sanity. “No my dear Twilight! For there is another element! And I have grown immune to your pathetic little trinkets!”

“No Twilight! Don’t fall for it! He’s bluffing! He’s the Master of Tricks! Don’t be fooled!” Celestia screamed over the howling wind. “Use your element!”

The five elements of Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie-Pie, and Rainbow Dash were beginning to fade. The energy was dying, and the ponies were starting to float downward.

“Hurry Twilight!” Rainbow Dash yelled through her gritted teeth, her eyes shut tight with concentration.

Twilight hesitated for a moment, tilting her head. “Discord! What is this seventh element?”

He cackled. “Twilight Sparkle! The smartest pony in all of Equestria doesn’t even know about the seventh Element of Harmony! What a joke!”

Princess Luna looked at her moon. Its energy was being pulled directly into Discord. “Twilight! He’s stalling! Hurry! He’s gaining energy from the moon! He’s lying!”

Discord snapped his eagle claw and Luna was blown backward. She hit the opposing wall and fell to the stone ground.

“Twilight! NOW!” Celestia screamed.

Discord raised his hands and the sky filled with lightning bolts. They zoomed down to tower. In a few seconds they would all be dead.

Twilight lit her element and stared at Discord. The magical rainbow surrounded the entire tower. Whoosh! The magical rainbow zoomed at Discord, who was laughing uncontrollably with insanity.

BANG!!!

The entire tower exploded, and everypony was blown backward.

Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were knocked unconscious, and Twilight was digging her way out of the rubble. “Help!”

“Here!” Rarity tried to pull Twilight out of the rubble. “Hurry!”

“Where’s Discord…? The elements…?” she noticed her crown was blown off in the explosion.

“We have to hurry! He’s still here!” Rarity pulled her out and Twilight saw an unbelievable sight.

Luna was still against the wall. Dead? Twilight couldn’t tell. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were unconscious near the edge of the tower. Pinkie-Pie was hiding behind Celestia, who was staring into the eyes of Discord.

Although, it wasn’t exactly Discord. His body was destroyed in the explosion, he was now just a spirit, like a ghost of pure evil.

“See what you’ve done here, Discord! Come to your senses!”

Discord’s spirit laughed. “I see what I’ve done. I’ve destroyed the elements! No longer will evil have to hide! I will rein chaos all throughout Equestria!!!”

Twilight took Celestia’s side along Pinkie-Pie and Rarity. “No! We will stop you! The spirits of the elements are still here!”

Discord roared. “How can the spirits of the elements work when they’re turned to stone?”

“Turned to stone?” Rarity screamed.

Discord snapped his claw and the shards of the Elements of Harmony levitated from all around the tower. He simply threw them aside. “Now to business.” He raised his hands and the moon glowed. “Now that Princess Luna is gone, the moon is mine!”

Celestia, for the first time in forever, was speechless. They had lost. After thousands of years of protecting Equestria, they were going to lose to a ghost that they had trusted.

“See how you like it, Princess!” he swooped his arms down, and the moon let off a ray of light. It engulfed the tower as the ponies screamed for help…
