All Sins Can Be Forgiven

"Hmm..." Disocrd sat upon a rock, admiring his work. "Yes, very nice..." Of course, it wasn't real. He was still trapped in stone from that incident with the six mares. He grinned wickedly at the memory, now having a means to stop them. "You six will do VERY nicely." He said, admiring the clay statues that stood in front of him.

One was a unicorn. Her build was based off of one named Twilight Sparkle. Next to it was another unicorn, this one getting her shape from one named Rarity. Next to that one was a pegasus, getting his shape from that...Fluttershy. Discord boiled at the name. Next to that one was another pegasus, getting his shape from Rainbow Dash. Next to that one was an Earth Pony, who got her shape from Pinkie Pie. And the last one was also an Earth Pony, who got her shape from Applejack.

Discord chuckled. "Finally...something to get me out of this stone prison. It's too bad the Elements of Harmony have to DIE for it to happen!" He laughed maniacally. "All I need is some magic to bring these poor foals to life." He clasped his (claws?) together and closed his eyes. Yellow magic began to slip through his fingers and flow towards the clay statues.

Each one came to life, gasping and sucking air into their new lungs. They were still dully colored, and Discord needed to do something about that.

"Approach me, mortals!" He shouted, half intending that to be a joke. They eagerly trotted up to their creator, and bowed before him. "You are still very gray, and while I love that color, I'm afraid I must brighten you up a bit."

"Why!? We'd be just as dangerous when dull!" One of the pegasi said, flaring his wings in anger.

"Oh, it's not about strength or deadliness. It's about being accepted into the community! You can't just walk into a town filled with pastel colored equines when you look like that! You must look...like you fit in." Discord then tapped one of his eagle claws against the stallion's head.

As if he was being un-discorded, bright colors flowed into his coat. His coat became red as blood, and his mane of dried blood. His eyes flashed yellow, and Discord smiled.

"There. I name you Wrath." Wrath scowled at his new bright colors. While he loved the red, he still liked grey much more. Discord then moved on to the other pegasus.

The stallion's coat became a dark lavender, and his mane a navy blue. His purple eyes sparked with excitement at the new colors. They weren't grey, but he liked them.

"I name you Pride." Pride grinned proudly at his new title, puffing out his chest to show his confidence. Discord moved on to the unicorns.

The one that was shaped after Rarity, now labeled Lust, was a smooth peach color, accompanied by sapphire blue eyes and a magenta mane. The one shaped after Twilight Sparkle, now labeled Greed, was a very light tan, had olive green eyes, and a purple mane. He then moved on to the Earth Ponies.

The one shaped after Pinkie Pie, now labeled Gluttony, was a sharp blue, and had a bright violet mane that hung over her pink eyes. The one shaped after Applejack, now labeled Envy, was lime green, had turquoise eyes, and a dark green mane that hung off the side of her head. Discord smiled at his creations.

"I grant each of you a power that you can use at will...most of you anyway." He pointed to Greed. "I grant you with..." He brought his lion paw to his chin. "The ability to steal ponies' magic." His face flattened in annoyance. "Yes, I know it's unoriginal." He frowned at an empty space, as if somepony was there. "But please, people! What do you expect me to grant her with? She's greed!" He then pointed to Pride. "I grant you with the ability to duplicate yourself." The pegasus puffed out his chest.

"Just more of me to admire!" He said with a smug grin. Discord then pointed to Envy.

"I grant you with the ability to copy others' forms and abilities, such as flight and magic." Envy smiled.

"They will envy me!" Discord chuckled at the words before pointing to Wrath.

"I grant you with super-strength." He then pointed to Lust. "I grant you with a siren song. Stallions will worship your every step when you sing it." Lust's eyes sparkled.

"Really? EVERY step?" Discord nodded. He then pointed to the last pony, Gluttony.

"And I grant you with the ability to eat practically anything." Gluttony squeed at this news.

"Eeee! Oh my gosh! So COOL!" She happily bounced around in a circle. Discord laughed.

"Yes, yes. Now, go my minions! Destroy the elements of harmony, and bring Celestia to me ALIVE!" He laughed maniacally before his lungs ruined it by making him cough. He awkwardly continued laughing before his little sins disappeared in a flash.

"I still feel out of place. Look at all these ponies! There's a bright pink one right over there!" Wrath pointed to a pink earth pony with a dark pink mane that was happily bouncing through town.

"You idiot," Greed smacked Wrath on the back of the head. "That's the element of Laughter! We're supposed to go after her!" Wrath opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Gluttony.

"Whee, let's go!" Wrath scowled as the sins left him to follow the pink mare.

"I don't get a say in this?" He yelled, flaring his wings. Greed turned back with a smirk.

"Don't need to, you heard what the master said!" She then walked beside the others and disappeared over the horizon. Wrath grumbled.

"Stupid...freaking...sins...leaving me behind..." He stormed off in the opposite direction of his siblings, eyes glazed over with hatred.

Wrath sat on a random bench in the park. He found that he liked being alone. It was the only way he wouldn't get mad. He didn't like being mad. It bothered him to no end. He was Wrath, the Element of Wrath, he should take joy in being angry!

"Are you okay?" He looked up to see a pale yellow mare with a concerned expression.

"Why!? You think I'm-" He stopped mid-sentence. He couldn't help but stare at her. She was...beautiful.

"I-I'm sorry if I angered you, I-I was j-just worried that s-something was wrong a-and..." She stuffed her head in her pink mane. "...I'm babbling." Wrath showed a hint of a smile. A SMILE.

"No, it's...it's fine." He then recognized the mare.

Element of kindness. He was shaped from her. Now it made sense. Why he found that he couldn't help but stare, why he didn't like being angry, why he liked being alone. She was shy and kind.

"I overreacted. You're the element of kindness, correct?" He just had to make sure.

"Um, yes...why?" Wrath frowned in disappointment. He was the complete opposite of her. He stood up with a scowl.

"Wrath my PLOT!" He shouted, before storming off. Fluttershy stood still in front of the bench, not understanding what happened.

"Wait, WRATH!?" She quickly ran off with no further explanation.

"WHAT!?" Greed smacked Wrath across the face. "How COULD you!?"

"I didn't have a choice! Something kept me back!" Lust's face dropped.

"Uh oh." All of the sins turned to the unicorn in curiosity. "Well, it's just...I'm a natural expert on these things and...well, I think Wrath is...how shall I say...in love?" Wrath growled.

"How DARE you suggest such a thing!?" He grabbed her neck with his wings and glared at her through glazed eyes. She shuddered with fear.

"Well, it's just that I'm an expert and-"

"Expert MY PLOT!" He then dropped her to the ground, sighing in defeat. "I can't do it. I don't want to be angry. I don't LIKE being angry." All of the sins gasped.

"Bu-but you're WRATH!" Greed said, holding out a hoof to prove a point.

"Yeah! You just HAD to be the one to fall in love?" Envy shouted, eyes glowing green.

"It's not like I wanted to! Love isn't just something you can CHOOSE to fall into!" Lust coughed awkwardly. "You don't count!" He yelled, turning to her.

"Wrath, what are we going to tell daddy?" Gluttony asked curiously. As if on cue a bellowing voice came from a nearby stream.

"Tell me what?" It asked, eager to get its answer. The sins all gathered around the pond to find that Discord's face had appeared in the water.

"That Wrath is-" Greed was cut off by Lust's hoof over her mouth.

"Don't worry about her, Master! She's delusional! Probably from not getting enough bits!" Greed ripped her hoof from her snout with her magic, which glowed the same bright orange that was in Discord's eyes.

"What are you talking about!? Wrath just told us-" Gluttony joined in on the fun, and wrapped her hooves around Greed's snout.

"Lust is right, Daddy! She just needs to go steal something, that's all!" Discord eyed them cautiously, and nodded his head.

"Yes, I suppose you are correct. Wreaking havoc will do nicely for your instincts." He glared at them. "But if you don't deal with the elements within a month I will be VERY disappointed in you!" The sins all nodded.

"Yes, master!" They said simultaneously while Gluttony threw in a "yes Daddy!" Discord's reflection then rippled away.

"Why would you tell Master about Wrath's little crush?" Lust asked Greed, true shock on her face.
