The Broken Order.

The wind whipped and howled as the Celestial and Lunar Guard took defensive stations outside of the gate. The Earth ponies and Unicorns took to the ground in groups of four. In the air, Pegasi and Bat Ponies split into teams of six, half of them were pegasi and the other half were bat ponies. Any other remaining guards were either on patrols in the forest or within the gate scattered around the city.

The two princesses sat in the court room, with them was the pegasi guard Wub Step, The pagemare Note Story, guard in training Illusion Flight, and The Lunar and Celestial Guard leaders. Twin Blade, the Celestial Guard leader, was a stern white pegasus stallion. His mane and tail were silver, his eyes were a bright purple color. Blood Cut, the Lunar leader , was a unicorn mare with a crimson coat, his mane was mainly dark purple with a strip of yellow in it, his eyes were amber. From the top of his forehead to his chin ran a long scar that went over his right eye.

" We have every reason to believe Discord is a threat!" Twin Blade declared. " His oncoming storm is a clear sign of hostility!"

"And yet you forget how he tends to make an entrance." Blood Cut argued.

"You speak of me forgetting when you have forgotten what we heard about his disappearance. And even if he did escape, why now? Why not sooner?" The white pegasus snapped back. The mention of the previous events made Illusion Flight shutter, causing Wub Step to calm her down.

The Lunar Guard Leader pondered this for a minute. After a while of hushed silence spread around the room, Celestia stood. Luna rised with her in turn. Celestia opened her mouth to speak but choked on her own words. Luna only put a hoof on her sister's shoulder, her turquoise eyes showed their combined sadness at their own orders. Celestia looked to her sister for support. Luna nodded in response.

" She..... We say that if Discord is in sight and harms anypony that....... that he is to be imprisoned or executed." Luna finished, her gaze cold as she spoke.

"Then we are agreed." Twin Blades looked to Blood Cut. "We must inform the troops."

The two leaders rushed out of the room, leaving Luna, Celestia, Note Story, Wub Step, and Illusion Flight alone. As soon as the doors closed, Illusion Flight dropped to the floor shuttering slightly every few minutes. Wub Step and Note Story rushed to the mare's side.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault." Wub Step said. " What could've you done?"

" I could've saved him!" She snapped. " And I don't need your FREAKING SYMPATHY!"

Wub Step's bright blue eyes widened. " I was only trying to help." He whispered to himself.

" I know." Illusion Flight sighed quietly. " I'm sorry."

The teal mare got up and trotted over to Princess Luna. Wub Step slowly followed.

"Luna, I'd like to fight. I may not be fully trained, but I have more than enough experience." Illusion Flight requested.

"Me also." Wub Step added.

The Night Princess could not disobey the request. She nodded and told them to wait for them outside. When they left, Celestia broke down crying on the floor. Luna sat by her, shaking with each sob. Since they were little, the three immortal beings had been together as a group. Now Discord was their nation's enemy.

" I think- I think I love him." Celestia sobbed out.

Luna stroked her dear sister's mane, whispering over and over again the same thing.

"I know.... I know.... I know." She repeated until there was silence in the room.

Half an hour later, Everfree Castle. Beginning of Battle.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The air was tense with impatience, a cold breeze went through the mass of ponies. Each waiting for their battle to start. The two princesses stood at the back of the army, each wore enchanted armor to shield any of Discord's magic. Luna, wore a pale blue helmet, boots, and chest piece. Celestia, had the same armor type only it was a bright yellow. They both sat watching in silence.

"Where is Miss Illusion Flight? And Private Wub Step was supposed to be here." Celestia said aloud.

"They will be here shortly, I requested that they gather all castle staff to the archives. The unicorn ,Violet Scribe, will have a magic barrier to protect them." Luna said. " Though I feared it would not be enough. "

"That was a good idea, anyways, her friend Chips Delight will no doubt help her if it need be done." Celestia replied.

Just then the two could hear galloping behind them, they turned to see the teal and black pegasi. Wub Step was in a full body armor of silver, with just his wings and head uncovered. He had a steel sword. Illusion Flight had a purple metal covering her back to her tail. She had a dark purple helmet with shaded glass covering her eyes slightly. Her wings had sword attached to the ends, and her clawed boots were equipped.

"We gathered all staff members and citizens in the archives. All guards and volunteers to fight are accounted for." Wub Step reported.

" We also found a strengthening spell to help with the barrier." Illusion Flight added.

" Barrier? My, My I'm touched." A voice shouted from the forest. With a flash of light, Discord sat on the gate of the city. " So, I'm guessing with the army, that I'm now a threat." He hissed.

The army shook, ready to charge at the draconaquis. Celestia gasped and flew up to Discord and shrieked at the army.

" Thou shall halt! No harm shall come to thee! Let thou explain thy self! " She shouted with the ancient voice. She turned to Discord, her voice still loud but quieter than before. " Explain Discord, why didn't you escape earlier? And why did you make such a storm of chaos?" She asked.

He growled at her ,then he looked down at her. His gaze held nothing but pain and rage.

" Why? WHY?! Because of you and that grey prince of yours! I've seen how you've looked at him, only I ignored it! Then, on that day Velvet Fire appeared, She saw it too and said that if I didn't take action You'd live with him!" He spat. " She showed me your secrets, and the lies that you told me! So no, I didn't escape. I'm taking action. I'll take the all you have left until your heart breaks. Just like mine." He finished.

The horde of guards in the air and on the ground were hushed. No one spoke, nopony dared. Celestia hid in her mane, ashamed.

" I...... Yes, I d-did have a fondness of Prince Sombra. But Discord, the only being I loved that way was-was you." She stuttered, then had tears streaming down her face.

Discord snapped his lion paw, making him wrap around the sun princess. He stared blankly at her, then grin darkly.

" Don't act like you care." He said while snapping his claw, turning Celestia's tears into chocolate milk. " This is how tainted you are. I'll show this to the world when I take over Equestria!"

And as he finished his sentence, the cotton candy clouds that were hanging over there heads erupted. Chocolate raining from the skies. Discord stood tall and proud, laughing at the white mare as she flew back sadly and slowly.

"Twin Blades, tell the Celestial troops to attack him with all force." She ordered. She stared at the draconaquis with full hatred. She knew it was time. The fight had Begun.
