Disharmony Saga
Episode III: The Elements of Disharmony
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe fall of Princess Celestia and the collapse of Equestria to Disharmony? Twilight was having trouble wrapping her head around these concepts. The fact that Siren states this with so much confidence is what truly bothers Twilight. Looking at the group of villains that stands in front of her Twilight realizes that Siren has the potential to back up her claims. Twilight gathers her thoughts and addresses Siren, “Exactly how do you plan to do all this? How can you possibly bring disharmony to all of Equestria?” Siren seems content enough to answer Twilight’s questions believing that there is no way that any pony could stop her plans now. “You see Twilight, what I’m about to do is very simple. I’m going to seal the Elements of Harmony away forever and make as you, your friends, and Celestia watch as the world you crumbles around you.” At this Rainbow Dash speak up having had enough of Siren’s trash talk, “If you think that we’ll stand by and do nothing as you attempt to do all this then your obviously mental.” Siren ignores this little remark from Rainbow and walks towards Twilight, “I suppose you plan to use the Elements of Harmony to stop me. Don’t you Twilight Sparkle?” Twilight looks behind her and realizes that they are in Canterlot Tower where the elements are kept. “It doesn’t matter if you retrieve the Elements form the vault. I guarantee that you will not be able to use them, Go ahead, go retrieve your precious elements, I’ll let you have them.” At look of surprise washes over both the ponies and the villains at this boast. Trixie who had been idling behind Discord speaks up against this boast, “Are you crazy? You’re going to give them a chance to fight back? You should have let Discord keep them as animals just to be safe. It doesn’t make any sense to me why you would let have their greatest weapon to use against us.” Annoyed at this outburst from Trixie turns to face her which makes Discord step to the side to give Siren and good view of her, “Calm yourself Trixie, if you doubt my motives then feel free to leave but know that if you decide to leave us you will lose your reward and share the same fate of these ponies.” At this Trixie turns away in silence not willing to put up any more objections. Celestia who was listening this whole time speaks to Twilight and her friends, “If this unicorn wants to give us a chance to defeat her quickly then fine, let us be done with this.” Celestia turns to the magical vault where the elements are kept and breaks the spell protecting them by inserting her horn into the lock. The vault opens and Celestia retrieves the box with her magic and brings it to Twilight. Before Twilight can even open the box though she is interrupted by Siren. “The Elements of Harmony are an interesting thing. From what you believe they keep balance over Equestria but how can they keep balance without a form of energy to oppose them? You see I know that Celestia and Luna found the Elements of Harmony and used them to defeat Discord and later used by Celestia to banish Nightmare Moon a thousand years ago. “At this Discord and Nightmare both wince and turn their attention to Celestia. “The thing that you never realized Celestia is that with light there must be dark. There must be evil to oppose good. Without these factors there cannot be balance in this word. What you failed to realize is that with the Elements of Harmony another set of objects were created to make sure good did not completely win over evil. To ensure that good could never truly win the Elements of Disharmony were created.” A silence falls over Celestia, Twilight and all of her friends. Seeing that she is getting the reaction that she hoped for Siren continues, “That’s where this group of villains that you see before you comes in. They all represent one of the Elements of Disharmony.” Siren turns to face her group of villains. “The element of Chaos is represented by Discord, the element of Power represented by Queen Chrysalis, the element of Deceit represented by Trixie, and the element of Envy by Nightmare Moon.” As Siren was naming each element a black light began to shine from each of the villains named. Siren realizing that she should no longer keep every pony waiting decides to finish her speech, “Of course Zartanis and myself make up the last two elements. Zartanis representing the element of Fear and myself representing the element of Magic.” With this a black light begins to shine around Siren and Zartanis. Twilight and her friends are frozen with fear and shock from what they are witnessing; only Celestia makes a move and opens the box containing the Elements of Harmony. What appear to be black stones now revolve around the villains. Celestia tries to get the elements on each girl but is stopped by a flash of light. The black stones revolving around Discord, Trixie, Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon, and Zartanis form around their necks into chains with ancient symbols dangling from the end of each. The stones revolving around Siren form into a dark crown on her head. Celestia is now too frozen in place at the sight of this. Siren and the villains levitate in the air in a small group with black light and electrical currents moving around them. Siren with her eyes closed speaks to the group of terrified ponies watching, “Now witness the end of Harmony in all of Equestria by my hooves.” Siren opens her eyes which shine with a dark glow and in that instant a beam of energy shoots towards Twilight and her friends. Still frozen in place Twilight and the girls take the blast head on and yell in pain and agony at the effects of the blast. Their bodies appear to be electrocuted as their limbs spaz out and move unnaturally from the blast of dark energy. The blast ends and Twilight with her friends fall to the ground. Twilight opening her eyes looks over her body and realizes in horror that her cutie mark has disappeared from her flank. Looking around at her friends Twilight notices that their cutie marks have also disappeared. They each yell in surprise and agony at what has happened to them. Siren, who is still levitating in the air with the villains, laughs at their horror before speaking, “You see Twilight Sparkle? I have taken what was dear to you. I have erased your cutie marks and left you blank.” Siren content with herself looks over at Celestia who is staring in disbelief and horror over what has happened. “You see Celestia? Even your prized student can’t save Equestria or you!” Twilight regains her train of thought and looks over at the where the Elements of Harmony lay hoping to retrieve them and use their power against Siren and the villains. When Twilight spots her element she realizes that it has begun to turn to stone. Looking around her she also sees that the other elements begin to turn to stone as well. Twilight speaks without realizing it, “The Elements of Harmony! Why are they turning back into stone?” Siren answers Twilights question to further drive the point home, “I didn’t just erase your cutie marks, I also severed your connection to the Elements of Harmony so that you may never use them again. It doesn’t matter though since in my next attack I will erase you and your friends permanently from existence!” Siren closes her eyes to focus the dark power around her into a new blast. “With you out of the way I will be able to throw all of Equestria into Disharmony and make Celestia my prisoner for all ponies across this kingdom to see that her kingdom has fallen.” With this Siren opens her eyes once more and fires the blast of dark energy towards Twilight and her friends. Moments before the blast hits the girls Celestia flies in front of them and creates a shield of light to block the blast. The blast hits the shield dead on and begins to crack it. Realizing that there isn’t much time Celestia yells instructions and Twilight and her friends, “RUN girls! Leave Canterlot and go to where it is safe! I can’t not hold this blast off much longer. You must escape from this place!” Twilight and her friends are frozen unable to comprehend what the princess is telling them. Celestia yells once more, “GO! LEAVE THIS PLACE NOW!” At this Twilight tells her friends to gather around her as she prepares her teleportation spell. Moments later Twilight and her friends vanish in a flash of pink light away from Canterlot. Seeing that her student and friends are safe Celestia ceases her shield spell and is hit by the dark energy blast. Her body is consumed by the darkness and slowly she begins to turn to stone. Celestia takes one final look at Siren and the group of villains before closing her eyes as her body finishes its transformation into stone. She falls to the ground petrified as the sun sets outside Canterlot.
