Fallen Angel

Cheerilee walks her students through Canterlot's sculpture garden, where she shows her class a strange statue of a chimera-like creature known as a Draconequus, a creature that represents discord and a lack of harmony. The three Cutie Mark Crusaders Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo stared at it curiously.
Cheerilee stopped and turned to the students.
"This creature is called a Draconequus. He has the head of a pony and a body made up of all sorts of things. What do you suppose that represents?" she asked. "Confusion!" Apple Bloom yelled out sure of herself.
"Evil!" Sweetie Belle called out.
"Chaos!" Scootaloo exclaimed excitedly
"It's not chaos, you dodo!" Sweetie Belle claimed rudely.
"Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of! And it is too chaos!" Scootaloo yelled back.
"Is not!" Sweetie Belle retaliated.
"You're both wrong!" Apple Bloom yelled. The three of them jumped at each other a cloud of dust surrounding them, hoofs, legs and the occasional head popped out of the cloud as it moved around.

"Stop it you three!" Cheerilee demanded sternly. "Besides you're all right. It represents discord or disharmony among ponies." Cheerilee explained. The class walked away towards the next set of statues. Suddenly cracks appeared on the statue and a malevolent laugh echoed through the air.

Gohan was meditating in his cabin when he heard a dark laugh and felt a cold chill. At once he decided that his friends needed him no matter how it ended. Gohan bolted out of a broken window and flew towards Ponyville. When he got there he saw the main six in a semi-circle around Celestia. He flew down and landed so hard crack appeared on the ground around him.

They all gasped shocked when he appeared. He looked right at Celestia a stern look on his face.
"What was up with that feeling I just got?" he asked her, the look on his face telling her he would not take no for an answer. Just as Celestia was about to answer Rainbow tapped Gohan on the shoulder, when he turned around his face was met with her hoof. Gohan stared at her calmly; he knew what that was about.
"That's for making me worry like that!" Rainbow yelled and then wrapped him in a tight hug. Gohan hugged her back and looked at her sadly.
"Sorry Rainbow, I was meditating when it hit me. Now then Celestia I want answers." He said his voice suddenly turning hard and serious.
"The feeling you got was what I'm here to warn them about. A great evil has returned. His name is Discord and the only way to stop him is to use the elements of harmony." Celestia explained simply.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go beat this jerk." Rainbow yelled getting pumped up.

"No Rainbow, we need a plan, we can't just run in guns blazing." Gohan said sternly. "Now everyone grab on I'll take us to the elements." They each put a hoof on him and they all disappeared. They reappeared in front of a large tower.
"Sorry guys this was as far as I could track the elements." Gohan said rubbing the back of his head.
"This is fine Gohan; you put us right outside the building that the elements are in." Celestia said as they walked up to the door and she used her magic to unlock the door. They walked inside a long room that held many windows depicting many historical moments, including the defeat of nightmare moon a couple months ago.

They walked up to a small display stand that held a soft looking cushion with indents shaped like the elements of harmony.
"Princess, shouldn't the elements be in here?" Twilight asked curiously.
"Yes they should Twilight, no one should have been able to get in here. I don't know what could have happened to them." Celestia replied worriedly.

Gohan noticed something strange and spoke up.
"Why don't we ask him?" He said glaring intently to his upper left.
"Ha ha, this one is sharp." A mysterious voice echoed through the room. Gohan's eyes darted to the right.
"Shut up and show yourself to the others, coward." Gohan demanded.

A window depicting a Draconequus started moving. It glared at Gohan and frowned.
"Well, you just aren't fun. Who do you think you are?" it asked him pouting because Gohan spoiled his fun.
"I'm Gohan and you're Discord I presume." Gohan said with feigned politeness.
"Yes I am Discord, you're very smart for a young pony such as yourself. Now tell me. What are you?" Discord asked turning slightly serious.

"I'm a Pegasus, obviously. Can't you see my wings?" Gohan said pointedly and flared his wings. Discord laughed and moved to a new window.
"No you aren't, no Pegasus can use magic as powerful as what you use to transport the others here, not even Celestia herself could perform it."
"Look Discord I don't know why I can perform magic but I am a Pegasus and nothing more."
Celestia decided to speak up.
"Discord what did you do with the elements?" she demanded. "If you want to find the elements go back to where it all began." Discord supplied them with this riddle and disappeared.

"What does that mean?" Applejack asked hoping somepony would have an answer. Twilight looked out a window and gasped.
"He must have hidden them in the labyrinth!" she yelled sure of herself.
"No twilight, think about it how did this start? What were you doing when you found out Nightmare moon was going to return?" Gohan asked intently. Twilight focused and started thinking then it hit her.
"I was reading a book on the history of equestrian it's in the library in Ponyville."

Without warning Gohan teleported them to the library and looked around it.
"Twilight which book is it?" he asked her. Twilight's horn glowed as she used her magic to grab a book from the shelf and handed it to Gohan.
"Do you really think that'll give us a hint?" she asked him. Instead of giving her an answer Gohan opened it on its side revealing the elements.

"The elements." Rainbow gasped "Gohan, how did you know they were here?" she asked him shocked.
"I read his mind. I can do that." He stated.
"Wait. You can actually read minds?" Rainbow asked Gohan in slight shock.
"Yes but, I only use it when I deem it absolutely necessary. Now come on we need to track down discord." He replied with fierce determination. They walked out of the library and ran through a chaotic Ponyville towards a field that held a throne that Discord sat upon. They stopped 20 feet away in front of Discord and lined up horizontally. The order went, Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Gohan, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie from left to right.

"Discord that riddle didn't trick us, and now it's time for you to pay!" Twilight yelled in disgust.
"But you need all the elements to stop me." He said an evil grin forming on his face.
"We have all the elements." Twilight said confused
"Oh Contraire." Discord smirked and flicked a talon up. Out of nowhere a jagged black spike impaled Rainbow straight through the middle, going in through her stomach and jutting out between her wings.
