Ancient evils

Chapter 27:Finally reunited

As Twilight and friends headed to the castle, Twilight saw something quite nostalgic. It seemed like forever since she had been in that hot air balloon, and yet here it was! It was empty, which made her wonder how it got here. Outside the castle stood a golden armored stallion, grey skinned, with a dark cobalt beard. His eyes were that of an evening sky. He seemed like he held some power in the military, maybe even as much as Shining Armor. He saw Twilight, and a smile cracked through his tough demeanor.

"Is it really you, after all these years?" said Shield.

"Do I know you? Sorry if I've forgotten." sadi Twilight.

"You wouldn't remember me anyway, I only saw you a few times, and that was when you were still a filly. My name's Silver Shield, I'm a friend of your brother's."

She somewhat remembered Armor talking about him, but that wasn't what piqued her interest.

"Is my brother here?" she asked.

"Unfortunately, no." said Shield. "He's out on duty in ponyville, but I'm sure Celestia would like to have a word with you, she's finally gathered all the element bearers."

"Our friends are here?" said Rarity.

"Mah sister?" said Applebloom.

"They're meeting with Celestia right now, you should go inside." said Shield.

They rushed inside, and just as he said, everyony was in the throne room. After greetings general reunion, Celestia had an announcement to make to them. The mane six, Topaz and Star, and Zecora all gathered round, Luna taking her seat on her throne.

"Sin needs to be stopped, and now we've got everything we need." said Celestia. "It's about time we attacked."

"Your Majesty,do we even know where Sin is at?" said Shield, currently walking into the throne room.

Luna spoke up this time.

"We saw him last in a chasm eep in Zebrica, but we have doubts he is still there."

Celestia seemed to know about what she was talking about.

"Those chasms connect, as sorts of portals all across the world." said Celestia. "It's a safe bet he's moved from that one."

"So how do we know which one to find him in?" asked Twilight.

"Ah say we just search each and every one untill we find him." suggested Applejack.

"What if we throw a huge party for him?" said Pinkie unhelpfully. "He'd have to come!"

"Actually," said Twilight. "I've got a plan."

"Let's hear it!" said Rainbow.

"We release Discord." said Twilight.

Everyone was shocked.

"We barely sealed him away last time!" said Rarity.

"But this time, he won't be our enemy." said Celestia knowingly

Twilight had forgotten Celestia was around during the original battle between the two, even if she was very young. She then began to think of a cute little filly Celestia, but quickly snapped back into the conversation. Everypony but Twilight looked at Celestia, expecting some sort of rationalization for this madness.

"Sin and Discord have long had hate for eachother, even greater than their hatred of us." said Celestia.

"Discord will be more than willing to fight Sin, even if it is the predictable thing to do, which he usually hates. Sin's rulership is much to orderly, Discord wouldn't be able to last under it." said Celestia

"We could then defeat both of them once they are weakened." said Twilight. "It's our only shot."

"we can began preparations tommarow." said Celestia. "But for tonight, we should all get some rest."

"That was one thing they could all agree on, and Celestia showed them to some rooms where they could stay the night.
