Rainbow's House, Thomas's Room, 12 o'clock in the morning

"You put the lime in the coconut, and drink'em both up" I sang to myself as I got ready for the day.

"Hey Thomas, you doing anything later?" I heard Rainbow ask as she opened my door.

"Not really, kinda did just wake up Rainbow" I answered the woman and finished getting dressed. "You need me for something?"

"I wanted to see if you wanna hang out with me and the girl's at Twillights house" Rainbow said and the offer was tempting. "It'll be fun~"

"Weeell... alright, what's the worst that could happen?" I jested.

"Thomas, anything could happen in this world" Rainbow said. "Hell, you're here aren't you"

"That is true, but putting that aside, what are we going to be doing at Twilights?" I asked her as we left the room and went downstairs.

"Probably just hang out and chill for awhile, you know, relax for a change" Rainbow said and she was right, one thing after another kept coming up ever since the Gala four weeks ago. I started making weekly trips to canterlot to teach Luna new english and hang out with my friends from time to time.

I still find it strange how much different this world is, I could live here for years upon years and still be amazed. With that being said, I have thought about how I'm going to live my life onwards from here on out, and the first thing I need to do is get an actual job and my own house. I just feel like I'm mooching off of Rainbow ever since she offered to house and feed me rent free.

"Equis to Thomas, you there dude?" Rainbow called out, snapping her fingers next to my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. "You okay?" She asked me.

"Yeah just... just thinking about how Im gonna live my life is all" I said making her chuckle a bit. "What?"

"Who said you aren't already, now c'mon, the girls are waiting for us" Rainbow urged, grabbing my arm and practically dragged me out of the house.

"Alright Rainbow, I get your excited but I do need my arm ya know" I said chuckling a little bit, we were already halfway their before Rainbow let my arm go.

"Sorry Thomas, hope your arm's still attached" She joked and I had to admit that it was kinda stiff now.

"Nothin' to it Rainbow, although I gotta make sure not to get on your bad side" I said. "Can't tell what you'd do to me if you tried to fight me" I chuckled.

"I'd probably lay you out" She stated confidently.

"All the more reason not to get on your bad side" I said and resumed walking to Twilights, that is until we saw a strange pink cloud flying around randomly. "I thought Cloudy was in charge of clearing the skies today?" I questioned, Rainbow groaned slightly and lifted herself into the air.

"Hold up a minute, I'll take care of this" Rainbow said before zooming off towards the pink cloud, I snorted softly and sat down on a nearby bench to wait for the woman.

As I sat on the surprisingly comfy bench I remembered something Luna had given me at one of our lessons. Luna said she had it when she turned back into her original form, and I thought I'd never see it again. I reached in my pocket for my phone and took out the rectangular black box and smiled a bit seeing it, this was the last thing I'd ever expect to follow me here, hell I'm surprised it's not broken. Thanks to this world's magic and Luna's quick thinking, she combined the battery in my phone with the magic here as a means of another form of electricity, meaning that no matter where I go, the magic in this world indefinitely charges it and also allows the magic to be some sort of hotspot for it as well.

"I can't believe you made it through everything that's happened to me, I should thank Luna properly for giving me this gift, but first" I started and pulled out some red earbuds Vinyl made me from my last visit and plugged them in. "Let's start this day off right" I said and picked my favorite song.

I sighed in bliss hearing music from my world after so many months, it felt like it's been years since I last heard anything from my world and its honestly still as good as I remember. Nodding my head to the beat of the song, I continued to wait for Rainbow patiently, I closed my eyes and relaxed in my seat for a bit until I felt someone trip over my foot. I opened my eyes and saw a woman with long blonde messy hair, grey skin, and yellow eyes that were crossed, and wearing a mail uniform on the floor.

"Oh, sorry bout that" I apologized and quickly got up to help her to her feet, but she was already taking off before I could do anything else. "Huh, maybe she didn't hear me... *sniff* is that... why do I smell chocolate?" I questioned only to soon be answered by brown droplets pouring around me, I stuck out my tongue and tasted the droplets only to realize it was... chocolate milk rain?

"Thomas!" I heard Twilight cry out to my left and I saw the girl's either soaked in chocolate milk or covered with what looked like cotton candy and popcorn, though Pinkie looked to be enjoying herself a bit. "Don't just stand there, follow us!" Twilight ordered and not wasting a second we all rushed behind her until we reached Twilight's treehouse and rested inside.

"Twilight, what in the name of everythin holy is goin on out there!?" Applejack asked the woman who looked at a loss for words seeing what was going on outside. "Twilight!"

"I don't know, okay!" Twilight exclaimed. "My failsafe spell didn't work, cotton candy clouds are raining chocolate milk, bunny's are running around twice their height and corn turning into popcorn spontaneously, I-I just don't understand what's happening out there!" She said and I took a look only to do a double take on what was happening outside.

"It's complete chaos outside" I said seeing people run for shelter and stampedes of bunnies running through the town almost as tall as a house. "Does Celestia know anything about this?"

"I'm not sure, I'll be surprised if she didn't hear about these strange anomalies already, but just to be safe I'm going to send her a letter," Twilight stated, going right to the pen and parchment on the far side of the treehouse. The moment Twilight put pen to paper, spike burped out a scroll with Celestia's sigil on it. Grabbing the parchment with her magic, she levitated it to her hands and basically ripped it open. "My dear student, please come to Canterlot Castle Immediately so we may discuss what is going on, bring all your friends, including Thomas, I fear as though we need every last source of power for what's at stake, signed, Princess Celestia" Twilight read and we all looked at one another in complete confusion.

"Why does the princess need all of us?" Fluttershy asked.

"And we also have to bring Thomas for a source of extra power?" Rarity questioned why my involvement was necessary.

"This doesn't sound good at all girls, whatever is going on out there, will be answered if we hear Celestia out" I said and they mumbled in agreement.

"But how are we going to get to Canterlot if everything is bonkers outside?" Pinkie asked, I hummed at the question before remembering something.

"Twilight, how good are you with Teleportation magic?"

Canterlot Castle, Throne Room, P.o.v- Jackson

I paced around the throne room in utter distress, trying to make heads to tails about what's going on. Ever since I gave the tour to the kid's from ponyville this morning, nothing has been going right for the past few hours. The weather changed drastically every ten minutes, the streets were turning different colors, hell some of the food was literally sprouting feet and arms right before they 'hello my baby' off the plate!

"Jackson, will you please settle down" Celestia pleaded, only for it to fall on dead ears. "Jackson!" Celestia shouted, finally getting my attention.

"What!?" I snapped at her.

"You need to calm down," Celestia sternly said as she rose from her throne. "Panicking about the unknown will get you nowhere in life, now please, take a seat and breathe" she said, walking down the steps leading to her throne and coming to my side.

"I-I know, it's just that, nothing is making any sense right now and it's frustrating" I said, groaning as I slumped to a nearby chair by the wall. "But you're right, I need to keep a level head about everything, have you sent a letter to Twilight?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Twilight should be here soon, once she is, we need to quickly get those girls to the Elements of Harmony" Celestia stated in a very worried tone, come to think of it, she's been silently freaking out for quite sometime and I just thought it was the freaky things happening outside, but as I looked at her more closely, she looks absolutely terrified for a reason unknown to me.

"Hey Tia?" I called, causing the woman to look at me. "Are you okay, you look kinda terrifi-" I was interrupted by a loud pop and six people screamed right before hitting the ground. I turned my attention to the new arrivals and was relieved it was just Twilight and the other's . "Girl's, I'm glad you can make it in such short notice and... uh... where's Thomas?" I asked them as they collected themselves off the floor, only to find no Thomas with them.

"Shoot, he must've lost his grip while we were in mid-teleportation" Twilight groaned. "I knew I should've held on tighter, but noooo I just had to assume I had a good grip" Twilight said silently scolding herself.

"Wait, then... where is he?" I asked, slightly worried he ended up in the middle of nowhere. "He didn't get stranded anywhere, right?"

"Oh no, at least, I think not" Twilight said nonchalantly, not really giving me a hopeful answer. "I'm sure he's around here somewhere, that's assuming he held on long enough to make it here that is" she went on, still not making me feel any better about what happened to my friend.

"Look, is he okay or not!?" I snapped at her.

"Geez okay, he's fine Jackson, just somewhere in or outside the castle" Twilight answered. "Most likely somewhere outside the castle, but I'm sure he's fine"

"Great, now then" I started and turned back to Celestia. "Why are you so terrified right now?"

Hedge Maze Outside The Castle, P.o.v- Thomas

"Hey... Thomas hey!" I heard echo in my ears, then a sharp pain to my side made itself known, instantly waking me up.

"Jesus-argh-Im up, Im up!" I exclaimed as I tried to ease the pain. I opened my eyes a bit once I felt a little better. "Jay, the fuck man!?" I exclaimed through my pain.

"Quit whining Tommy, it wasn't even that hard," Jay laughed and helped me to my feet. "Anyways, why are you here?" He asked.

"Me and the girls got summoned by the Princess, why are you here?" I asked and noticed next to him was that girl he was with at the gala a few weeks ago. "And who's your friend?"

"I was out for a stroll to get some exercise in and this is my friend and personal nurse, Violet Stone" Jay said as I shifted my gaze towards Violet .

"Friend, yes, Personal nurse, no" Violet corrected and held out her hand. "It's nice to finally meet you Thomas, Princess Luna loves to talk about you during her physical therapy sessions" She said.

"A pleasure and really?" I asked, reaching out and shaking her hand. "Out of curiosity, what does she say about the lessons?" I asked slightly intrigued.

"Oh where to start, she tells me that you're teaching skills are amazing and the tasks you give her are super simple and easy to pick up, you answer any and all questions she has, and you slow down all lessons if the princess is having trouble with it" Violet said trying to remember more stuff.

"Well I do my best to help her out in any kinda way possible" I said confidently.

"Freakin nerd" Jay muttered and I jabbed his arm.

"Oh yeah!" Violet exclaimed suddenly. "The princess also told me that she loves how much of a gentleman you are to the other's inside the castle, all the while blushing as red as an apple going on and on about how cute you look during your lessons, and she turned even more red when she told me how you held her hand to comfort her so she wouldn't be nervous about speaking new english infront of others. A lot of guards and maids thought you two were dating for awhile, some were even jealous at the fact of just how close you two were getting, but-" Violet stopped, now realizing her little rant made me have a beet red face. "Whoops, I might've said to much"

"Aww, well would you look at that, Thomas here got himself a little girlfriend" Jay teased with a playful nudge. "And a princess for that matter"

"Shut your face!" I exclaimed, rubbing my blush away. "Luna is not my girlfriend, and I don't think she sees me in that type of way anyways" I told them.

"Calm down bud, I know you're new to this type of thing, so you don't really understand how it feels to have a girl super into you" Jay said in a condescending tone, though he was right, I don't know anything about women, so maybe she does see me in that way. "That or she really just likes you as a friend or sees you as a brother" Jay threw in and any hint of romance I had in mind, was quickly flushed down the toilet.

"Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence dude" I grumbled and sighed. "Putting that aside, I need to find the girls and Jackson, mind helping me out?" I asked the two.

"Sure, we were just about done strolling around this place when the weather started freaking out" Jay said, catching my attention.

"Wait, it's happening here too?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Violet queried.

"The weather in ponyville is all messed up too, and strange things have been happening since this morning" I said in a slightly grim tone. "What could be causing all these weird anomalies, and how strong can it be to be able to reach this far out" I muttered to myself.

"Hey... is it just me, or did it suddenly get really quiet?" Jay asked Violet and I.

"You're right... Violet, I think you need to head home now" I said, just as my sword appeared on my back. "Right. Now" I stated, drawing my sword.

"Oh, but where would the fun be in that, Little Thomas" I heard a man say behind us, I spun around to see a tall man wearing a yellow and black vest with a black dress shirt underneath, he also sported someblack dress pants to match and shiny black shoes to complete his outfit. His body was slender and his skin was a light ashy grey color, but his hair was as white as snow which matched his cat-like yellow eyes, he also had two different horns atop his head as well as two different wings and a snaggle tooth to complete the whole set.

"Who the hell are you?" I questioned, making the man laugh.

"Well my strange friend, I am Discord, the pure embodiment of chaos" Discord addressed, chuckling as he looked at the three of us. "Ill be honest, I expected more than just a runt, a wannabe drake and a magic-user"

"Who you callin a runt" I growled through clenched teeth, I was ready to fight this guy but before I could move, he put a hand and stopped me.

"I wouldn't try playing hero boy, you'll only just end up dead" Discord warned. "The way you are now is nothing compared to what I faced thousands of years ago" He stated then snapped his fingers, causing a few roots to crawl out of the ground.

"Violet, you need to get out of here" Jay told her, taking the hint, Violet quickly made a run for it.

"Sorry dear, but no one's leaving this place" Discord said, lifting his arm and shot one of the roots towards Violet. Quickly acting on impulse, I cut the root in half, letting it fall to the ground dead, allowing Violet to flee successfully. "Remember what I said about playing hero boy, you'll end up dead" he said, his tone turning malicious.

"I don't really have a choice if you were going to end that women's life" I said. "But if you wanna kill anybody then why don't you take a crack at me fugly"

"Thomas was it?, you don't really seem to fully grasp the type of situation you and your friend are in" Discord said chuckling. "If I wanted, I would've painted the ground red already" he stated simply with a sickening grin.

"Jay, you still remember how to fight right?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Damn right, let's see how tough this guy really is" Jay said as he popped his knuckles, he looked pissed off as well after Discord tried to kill Violet. "You wanna kick us off Thomas?"

"I'd be happy too" I said, pulling out my phone and selected an appropriate song for this fight.

Not wasting a second more, I rushed towards the man and tried to go for a frontal slash, but he dodged and out of nowhere I felt something hit my side and I flew to the right with tremendous force. I regained myself just in time to halt my violent movements by digging my sword into the ground.

I barely had a second to think before bending backwards to avoid something aiming for my neck. I used the sword to keep me from falling and just when the attack missed, I threw my body forward with just enough force to dig up my sword and flinged it with everything I had at Discord.

As it flew through the air towards the chaos being, Jay dug his feet into the ground and with every ounce of power he had, he shot off like a bullet. His target was in sight, Discord had to make a quick decision if he wanted to live or at the very least keep a limb. That's what I had thought at first, until he calmly smiled to himself.

"How disappointing" Discord said in a mocking tone. "I thought you'd be much stronger than this, but it seems you still have much to learn" He said and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, I felt my whole body shift in place and I was standing where I originally was before the fight started with my sword nowhere in sight and Jay and Violet were behind me again, both completely in a daze.

"Wha... What the hell... just happened? " I asked, completely drawn a blank.

"What's going on, I was just at the castle gate and now I'm back here" Violet said trembling tremendously. "J-Jay?"

"It's okay Violet, just stay by me and I'll keep you safe" Jay said, going to Violet's side as a means to comfort her. "Thomas, the hell's going on?!"

"He... turned back time" I told him in disbelief.

"He what!?" Jay shouted in shock.

"That should be impossible!" Violet exclaimed.

"Physically weak, but you're dangerously smart and perceptive" Discord praised. "You might be worth the effort after all, although I do have to point out that the girl is correct in some regard. I can bend and control small portions of time with my chaos magic, but since it takes up so much power, I can't do more than fifty feet, otherwise I'd be as useless as a cracked bottle" he explained, gently lifting himself up into the air.

I readied myself for whatever was about to happen, but before anything could happen, we heard rushing feet coming toward us. I turned to my right then smiled seeing the girl's and Jackson running toward us, I gave a sigh of relief seeing both reinforcements and my friends.

"Violet, I want you to get out of here as fast you possibly can" Jay ordered. "Under no circumstances are you to look back, you keep running until you get home" he instructed the girl.

"I can't just leave you here, come with me, they have plenty of people," Violet said, refusing to leave without Jay.

"Ms. Violet" I called, getting her attention. "I'll bring him back to you alive and safe, I promise" I said and she still seemed hesitant to leave.

"I'll be fine Vi, we'll finish this before you even make it home" Jay said, a bit more cocky than need be. Seeing as her friend will be safe, she finally agreed to run.

"Come back to me, alive" She told him, she quickly kissed his cheek and made a break for the exit.

"How sweet, but I told you before" Discord said holding up his hand. "No one is going to leave this place alive" he said and shot a ball of chaos magic.

"Not gonna happen!" I yelled and threw my sword at the attack, when the sword itself struck the ball of chaos, it deflected off into a different direction, allowing Violet to get away unharmed. "Whoa that actually worked!" I said in shock.

"I see, looks like you're going to be a problem after all" Discord muttered and dodged a kick from Rainbow. "And you're going to be faster than that girly" he teased, disappearing then reappearing on top of the hedge maze entrance.

"Give up the elements Discord!" Twilight demanded, but the man just laughed.

"Those tacky little thing's, go ahead and take them" Discord said nonchalantly, confusing the girl's a bit. "It's not like you'll be able to use them anyways, so by all means ms. Sparkle, take them away"

"C'mon girls, the elements are in the middle of this maze" Twilight said and Rainbow blew a raspberry.

"No problem, I'll just use my wings to fly up and go straight for the middle" Rainbow said a bit cocky in her abilities, but before she could use her wings to get in the air, Discord snapped his fingers and Rainbows wings along Jay and Fluttershy's vanished from their bodies. "M-My wings!"

"What the hell!?" Jay cried out.

"My horn!" Rarity cried out as well.

"Mine too!" Twilight exclaimed, the girls started panicking about what was happening with their bodies, all except for myself, Pinkie, Aj and Jackson.

"Sorry everybody, but there are rules to this little game, no magic or flying allowed, you must beat this maze fair and square" Discord explained, making up everything he just said. "If any of you use your abilities, then your entire team is disqualified and you lose the elements forever" he finished explaining, laughing as he saw our faces.

"Fine Discord, we'll play your stupid game, it'll just make it more satisfying once we turn you back into stone" Twilight stated confidently.

"We shall see," Discord muttered then snapped his fingers once more. The ground shook violently for a moment before six large walls broke out from the ground and surrounded all of us in separate groups. "Sorry kids but it's more fair if you're all separated into smaller groups, good luck" he quickly said and vanished.

"Damn it" I cursed under my breathe. "Is everybody okay!?" I shouted and to my relief, everybody shouted back.

"Thomas, we have to head towards the middle, and quickly before something bad happens" Twilight told me.

"Right, everybody, travers through the maze and find the elements!" I shouted to the others. "We'll meet in the middle, now get going!"

"Alright!"

"See you in the center!"

"Be careful everyone!" Everyone called out to each other and we were soon off to the center.

"Alright, let's go Twilight" I said and we set off cautiously through the maze. It was quiet between us for the time that we walked side by side, it almost felt like it was hard to breathe from how thick the silence was. "So Twilight, what happened while I was out here?" I asked.

"Well, Jackson got scared you might've been transported somewhere else and after calming him down enough, Princess Celestia told us about Discord and what he plans to do along with a plan to stop him" Twilight explained.

"And I'm guessing he stole the Elements of harmony" I said, and it was a complete bullseye.

"It's still confusing how he did it, but for now we should focus on getting them back and defeating Discord for good" Twilight said, she looked more determined than anyone I've ever met.

"We'll get them Twilight, have faith and you will surely come out okay" I told the girl and chuckled. "Though I did have faith you'd teleport us all to the castle, which did happen, but I ended up outside"

"Please don't bring that up, I thought I had a good grip on your arm!" Twilight exclaimed, her face flushing with embarrassment. "I'm sorry if you got hurt in anyway"

"Ah, I'm fine Twilight" I assured her. "Im tougher than you would expect, you can thank the Pie family for toughening me up a tad bit more" I said, making her giggle.

"That is true, I'll be sure to let them know once we see them" Twilight said and smiled warmly.

"You know Twilight, you should really smile more, it looks great" I told her.

"Thank you for the kind words, but sadly, I don't think my smile is that great" Twilight sighed out.

"You kiddin, your smile can brighten a whole room up if you let yourself be more confident in it" I said. "My mother always told me you are never fully dressed without one" I quoted and Twilight chuckled.

"You talk an awful lot about your mother, what was she like?" She asked me.

"Man where to start, geez" I chuckled for a moment and thought. "Well, I thought of my Mom as a saint"

"Religious?" Twilight asked.

"She was, but that's not the kinda saint I was talking about" I joked. "What I meant, was that she is the kindest person you would have ever met, she helped those in need with a gracious heart and fierce determination, she was never afraid to speak her mind about anything, and... she had this vibe to her, an aura of warmth and security that I've felt from no one other than her" I said, growing a little smile on my face. "She was a light in a sea of darkness"

"She sounds wonderful, what's her name?" Twilight asked.

"Amara Knight" I answered getting an 'ooo' from Twilight.

"A name that means grace and mercy, a beautiful name for a woman such as her" Twilight complimented. "I wish I could meet her, I wonder if she likes magic"

"Uh, probably not your kinda magic, but Im sure if you met her, you and she would've been really great friends" I simply stated.

"How so?" She questioned.

"My mom was also a book nerd, she loved searching up new things and would always tell me and my family what she discovered through her research" I told her and Twilight wanted to meet her now more than ever. "Maybe one day we'll find a way to go back home and I can introduce you to her" I said and Twilight smiled.

"That would be... really nice" She said with a small blush going across her cheeks. "I can't wait to meet her one day" Twilight said.

"Me too, I really want to tell her about everything that's happened since Jay, Jackson and I got here" I said. "I can even introduce her to the other's as well after she's met you, I'm sure she'll love everyone and thank you profusely for keeping me alive for this long" I went on and Twilight's blush went away and was replaced with a small pout. "Something wrong?"

"Nope, not a thing" Twilight stated in a huff before walking on a little faster. "Jerk" she muttered.

"Was it something I said?" I asked myself, though while I was in my thoughts, I heard a little whisper coming from my right. I gave a quick look and saw a door covered in shadows with a strange white marking in the center, it looked kinda scary now that I look at more.

"Thomas"

"Huh?" I mumbled, spinning around to see another door covered with pure light and golden marking in the center, it looked peaceful and I had this warm familiar feeling wash over me as I stared at the door.

"Thomas"

"Who's there!?" I yelped out then suddenly felt my breath get violently knocked out of me by something so fast that I couldn't even see it. I fell to my knees as I gasped for air, desperately trying to catch my breath to no avail.

"Sorry you little freak of nature, no outside interference" I heard from behind right before feeling a sharp pain to my neck and I started losing consciousness. "Especially from someone who has more than one soul inside their body" the person said, my vision soon went blurry then a familiar cloak of darkness surrounded me.

Inside Thomas's Mind

"Look who's back" The chained demon announced as I awoke inside of my mind once more. "How's it hangin kid, thought I'd never get to see that ugly mug of yours again, almost brought a smile to my face" He said with a distorted chuckle.

"But you're always smiling" I said a little confused.

"I never smile" He told me, making his voice sound more hellish than before.

"... Right, sorry uh... can you tell me why I'm back here again?" I asked him, but he just shrugged.

"You're asking the wrong guy padre, I've been asking myself that same question the second I woke up in this place" He said with a groan. "But if I had to guess, I think you got knocked out cold" he answered, sighing a bit when we heard loud, sickening pops come from his joints and spine.

"Jesus... and, who could've knocked me out… wait, Discord!" I exclaimed suddenly making the man jump a bit. "I was walking with Twilight when I suddenly felt the air get pushed out of me then a sharp pain to my neck before going unconscious, he must've done the same to Jackson and Jay so we can't help the girl's search for the Elements" I said, slowly fitting the pieces together.

"Would you like your pipe mr. Holmes, or maybe a line of coke" The man joked following it up with vigorous laughter.

"Not now Watson, and you should know I don't partake in any sort of drugs that may scramble my thoughts," I played along. "But now I need to carefully plan what my next steps should be, cause if I falter at any point... I will die"

"Ooooo, ominous" The man said with a chuckle.

"You know, I could use your powers to fight this guy if you're willing to help" I told him, but he blew a raspberry.

"Sorry padre, not gonna happen this time, I only helped so I can keep you from dyin last time, but it looks like you got every thing under control" He said and let his head slump down. "Ima take a nap, wake me up if you're alive by the end if this"

"But wont you die since we share the same body?" I asked.

"Yup, so do both of us a favor and not get killed, ok" He said before falling asleep.

"Well, I guess I should wake up now, and when I do, I gotta make sure Jackson and Jay are okay"

Canterlot City, P.o.v- Jay

"Shit, Jay watch out!" Jackson shouted, but I was already hit out of the sky by Discord. I was sent crashing through some buildings and skidded across the floor until I was stopped by a sturdy brick wall.

"Holy... mother of god" I panted out, I wobbled back up to my feet now covered in blood and cuts. "How the hell did they beat this guy, he's almost untouchable, me and Jackson gave it everything we had and still nothing.... I can't win" I said through gritted teeth.

"U-Uhm... are you okay?" I heard some ask, I followed to where it came from and saw a little girl with her mother. "You're b-bleeding a lot"

"Mari, we have to go!" Mari's mother told her. "And you should too, you look like you can barely stand as is!" she exclaimed, but I couldn't just tell her I was half ready to kick the bucket, that would scare her daughter even more.

"That may be true, but there is no way Im gonna give up when people are in need of help" I said and smiled through the pain. "I may not look it, but I'll tell you right now that I was born for something like this, so don't worry about me, cause as long as I still got blood pumpin, no one else will get hurt, I promise" I told them and that seemed to put them as ease a bit thankfully.

"Jay, thank god you're alive" Jackson said, landing behind me.

"Yeah, but what happened with Discord?" I asked him, confused that he's not still fighting.

"I don't know, one minute we're throwing lightning bolts and chaos magic then the next he up's and vanishes," Jackson said and I started having a really bad feeling in my chest. "I think we should check back in with the girl's, so let's get going"

"The girls... oh no" I muttered and Jackson soon caught on. "Listen you two, get out of the city as fast as you can, do not go on the train, just stay at the edge of the forest and have others follow you to safety" I instructed the mother, to which she nodded and headed off.

"Seems like you're raring to go again, but before anything, we need to get to the girl's and Thomas" Jackson said and I nodded, we both took to the air and headed back towards the castle. "I hope they're all okay, who knows what could've happened when Discord teleported us out of the maze and started that little fight" Jackson said, a tad concerned for our friends.

"We gotta have faith that everybody will pull through, Im sure they've gathered the Elements and are sending that freak back into his stone prison" I said. "Hell, I'm also sure Thomas is helping them as we speak" I went on then suddenly felt a chill go up my spine, causing me to stop in place.

"Jay?" Jackson said in confusion. "Hey, you alright?" He asked me, then felt the chill go up his spine as well. "You feel that?"

"Yeah, it feels malicious and cold" I described. "Like how it felt when Thomas fought Nightmare, but more... heartless" I went on and another shiver rippled through us.

"We gotta get to Thomas, now" Jackson stated, trembling a bit. I would be lying if I wasn't as well. After scraping up some courage, we flew to the hedge maze and found the girls at the front with Discord looking angry as well as disappointed. But the girls looked different, they all turned dull and grey excluding Twilight and Rainbow dash, who was missing.

"Looks like someone couldn't follow the rules, and now you all must pay the price for losing the game" Discord said.

"What, we followed your stupid rules and none of us actually broke them" Twilight argued making discord laugh. "We won't stop going into that maze until we get the Elements back"

"Oh you thought- and the elements- pfft hahaha!" Discord laughed even hard confusing Twilight, then it dawned on her.

"They were never in the maze at all" Twilight uttered out in defeat.

"Correct, I never hid those trinkets in the maze, and yet you still walked right into my trap" Discord laughed as he looked down at the five. "Well, if you ever find those things, I'll be more than happy to let you use them on me, if you can" he taunted before vanishing once more.

"Girl's, are you all okay?!" I asked them and I was instantly met with a random water balloon to the face. "What the-Fluttershy!?" I exclaimed seeing the normally sweet and kind air-user laugh at me.

"Awww what's wrong, not cold enough wimp?" She antagonized shocking me, Twilight and Jackson.

"Fluttershy, what's wrong with you?" Jackson asked the girl who just mean mugged the man.

"Can it pretty boy, less you want a nice bruise for that pretty face of yours" Fluttershy threatened and it looked like she meant every word.

"Okay then, Applejack, why did you turn grey?" I asked her and she looked like she was trying her damndest to not speak. "Are you okay?" I asked her again.

"Eeyup, fit as a fiddle sugarcube, totally not lyin bout' that" Applejack said to me, pursing her lips and looking kinda sketchy.

"Did... Did you just... lie?" Twilight asked in confusion.

".... No" Applejack lied again making her weird face again.

"Twilight, this is freaking me out, what happened here?" I asked the woman who was just as freaked out as I was.

"Discord must've done something to them, for some reason, he said we lost the game and told us it was because Rainbow took her wings back and flew off to god knows where" Twilight ranted out. "Before the game ended, me and Thomas were talking about his mother, then I sped up a bit to see if there was a turn anywhere, but when I turned around he was gone!" She exclaimed, slowly losing her composure.

"Twilight calm down, everything is going to be fine, have faith" I said, grabbing and shaking her a bit to get her back to her senses. "Now think, if you were right then the Elements of Harmony are still hidden somewhere, do you have any ideas where they could be?" I asked, letting her go to think for a moment.

"Twists and turns... go to the center.... at the beginning" Twilight muttered to herself for a moment as we tried to keep Fluttershy away from 'Tom' the boulder, that for some reason Rarity said was a giant diamond, we were also trying to make Pinkie stop trying to fight Applejack. "I got it!"

"Really!?" Me and Jackson asked simultaneously.

"Quick everyone, grab on and hold on tight" Twilight ordered, slowly but surely getting everyone to hang onto one another. "Next stop, Ponyville"

The Pie Family Rock Farm, P.o.v-Thomas

"Thomas?" a faint voice echoed in my head, I groaned a bit and opened my eyes. Everything was a little blurry, but I could feel a sense of familiarity with where I am.

"This is... I'm at the rock farm" I muttered to myself, my senses felt slightly dull at the moment, but I can feel them slowly coming back. It seems that every time I talk with the demon, my whole body shuts down for a bit, save for breathing.

"Thomas!" I heard the voice call again, this time a bit louder. I turned to see Lime dropping her pickaxe and quickly sprinting towards me. "Are you okay!?" She shouted, her voice now back to regular volume.

"Yeah, I'm all good!" I yelled back and lifted myself up, I went to take a step forward, but I suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the floor. "Okay... I'm not all good!" I corrected.

"Goddess above, I don't know how you're even still breathing" Lime said, sliding next to me, she sounded a little panicked. "C'mon, I'll get you inside" she said as she lifted me up in her arms.

"Well then... now I know how embarrassing this is" I said with a small embarrassed blush. Lime quickly made her way back towards the house with me in hand, once we got to the house I was greeted by both Igneous and Cloudy.

"Thomas my boy, are you alright?" Igneous asked.

"Yeah, can't say what's wrong with me since I can't really feel it" I said and they took me inside the house then laid me on the couch. "Thanks Lime, I owe you one"

"None of that Thomas, now tell us what happened to you" Lime said.

"Yes, we'd like an explanation as well since Lime brought you back all banged up" Cloudy said and I nodded.

"Well, I guess I should start with how it all started," I began. "Me and my Rainbow Dash were on our way to our friend's place to hang out for awhile, that's when we noticed a strange pink cloud in the air, Rainbow went to go take care of it real quick and waited for her to get back. Everything started out fine until this girl tripped over my foot by accident running from something, I tried to help but she ran off before I could and that's when everything started going awry, the clouds changed to cotton candy raining chocolate milk and animals grew as tall as houses"

"Yikes, what could've made everything go so bonkers?" Igneous questioned.

"Just getting to that" I said. "So as I was saying, all this weird stuff was happening and we were forced indoors, that's when we got summoned to canterlot castle to meet with princess Celestia. My friend Twilight sparkle teleported us there but I lost my grip and ended up outside where my friend Jay and his possible girlfriend, Violet... that's when we met him" I said, feeling my hand ball up to a fist.

"Whose him?" Lime asked me.

"The person that started all this, the pure embodiment of chaos, his name... is Discord" I answered, sending chills down their spines. "He was probably the one that injured me pretty good back at the castle, caught me by surprise and I was too slow to do anything about it... if only I was faster, maybe then I could help the other's" I groaned slightly, feeling as useless as I did when I first got here.

"I'm sure you gave it your all Thomas, you're only human after all" Cloudy said, coming over next to me and gave me a comforting smile. "We all have limits, but we can choose to be happy with them, or find a way to go beyond" she said, letting those words sit in my mind for a moment. I could lay here complaining about how useless I am, or, I can get up and push past whatever limits I have.

"You're right Cloudy" I said and strained my body a bit to sit up, much to the families dismay, but I sat up on the couch with enough determination to push through the pain I could now feel. "I gotta push pass my limits, to become stronger than I was before" I stated, getting up to my feet and slowly walked towards the door.

"Whoa, hey!" Lime exclaimed, getting in front of me. "There is no way I am letting you leave without some first aid, you may not feel it, but your body is tired and beaten, you need to rest" she told me, but I couldn't wait that long.

"I don't have time to rest Lime, if I don't leave then all my friends could be in serious trouble" I said and walked past her, only to be grabbed and thrown back on the couch. "Damn it, they need my help!"

"Be quiet" Maud demanded with a hard slap going across my face. "Your body is hurt, your mind is clinging to crumbling thoughts, and you can barely stand on your own two feet" She listed off, walking up to me and ripped my shirt off. "Look at yourself!" She demanded.

I looked down only to suddenly feel my breath hitch, and my mouth went dry. Nothing but bruises and marking were covering my torso, I looked at my arms and saw how shaky they were, how many cuts and scrapes they had on them. When I finally saw the damage done to my body, the pain had set in, and it hit me hard. A short, but a loud scream of agony tore through my throat as I felt each of the bruises pulse, one after another, it was brutal agony.

"I-It hurts... so... much!" I panted out, I was surprised I hadn't felt this tremendous pain earlier. I would've thought with injuries like these I'd feel something.

"Now you see why Lime was trying to stop you, you were one foot in the grave without even realizing it" Maud said and motioned marble to get the first aid. "The ring I gave you may not be enough to heal these injuries fast enough, but that doesn't mean we cant dull the pain a bit"

"Ill go get some water and a rag" Cloudy said and rushed off.

"I'll see if I can find some pain killers" Igneous said, also rushing off.

"Lime, I need to go grab something from the mines, make sure he doesn't move and when Marble comes back, apply first aid" Maud instructed her younger sister.

"Wait, you finished it?" Lime asked and Maud nodded before handing me over to her, leaving the house quickly after. It was silent for awhile once everybody was off completing their jobs, the pain I felt was gradually becoming tolerable, with small jolts coming and going. "Geez, it's never a dull moment when you're around Thomas" Lime joked, I chuckled a bit.

"Sorry about all this, I know you were only trying to help, it's just..." I started, then stopped.

"You don't like feeling weak, right?" Lime finished my sentence and I nodded.

"I thought with how much more powerful Jay and Jackson are, I had to push myself harder to at least get to their level" I said, sighing slightly. "I only have a sword and I can barely use it... I thought I was getting stronger, but I guess I haven't been pushing myself hard enough" I ranted on, feeling the ring heal my arms slowly.

"Well for what it's worth, I think you're a pretty strong guy, power's or no power's" Lime said, with the first smile I've ever seen her give.

"Thanks Lime, that means a lot" I told her and relaxed a bit on the sofa. Cloudy came back with a bowl of hot water and a clean rag to wipe off any dirt and blood on my body. Igneous couldn't find any pain killer's so he brought me some bread to snack on, and Marble found the first aid kit then quickly patched my wounds up. "Thanks you guys, if it wasn't for you, I would be six feet under right now" I said.

"Think nothing of it Thomas, it's not the first time I had to do this for you, you know" Cloudy said with a chuckle. "But I do wish you would be more careful, especially when you're fighting a being of pure chaos" she scolded slightly.

"Yeah, I kinda wish I had a choice about that, but sometimes you gotta make rash decisions to save someone's life" I said, then thought for a moment. "Maud said she had to get something from the mines, she acted like it was important... what was it?" I asked the family, but they shrugged.

"She's been sneaking off every night to work on something in the mining cave, I asked her if she needed help because I thought she found a rare metal, but she declined and told that it was an upgrade for something she made for you awhile back" Lime explained and I slowly gripped the ring.

"So no clue as to what it could be?" I asked once more, but they shook their heads. "Well whatever it is I'm sure it'll help me in the long run"

"I do hope so dear Thomas, because it would be a shame if you laid there and watched me kill this whole family" We all heard and I ripped myself off the couch to face the voice. "You are one durable kid Thomas, I beat your body senseless but you were still able to get back up, I must applaud your determination" Discord said, rather impressed I was even moving.

"You leave these good people alone Discord, they've done nothing wrong" I growled at the man. Discord scoffed seeing me ready myself, he was underestimating me because of my condition, that just pissed me off. "Leave Discord, I don't want whatever fight you plan on doing right now, they might get hurt" I said though that just seemed to amuse the man even more.

It was dead silent for a few minutes, but those few minutes seemed like days passing. I waited cautiously for him to make the first move, sweat beaded off my face and I can feel the situation growing more intense. We stared each other down gruesomely, waiting for the right moment, that's when I saw his eye's shift to Lime.

"WATCH O-" I was cut off after pushing Lime out of the way, quickly getting tackled out of the house in the process. A large hole stood where the door used to be and we went flying towards the middle of the field. Throwing solid punches to one another as we went through the air until we finally crashed down a few yards away from the house. We rolled and bounced off the floor a couple times, but I was shoved away from Discord after he regained his bearings. I slid on the ground for a moment before coming to a stop a few feet away, now covered in dirt and reopened wounds.

"Amazing reflexes my boy, you had enough time to run and push that girl out of the way before I could make my move, simply amazing, I might've been wrong about your physical attributes, who knew you were hiding so much power" Discord gushed, leaving me for a blank. "Come now Thomas, you must remember the last time we fought"

"Well yeah it only happened an hour ago in front of the hedge maz-"

"Nonono, the fight in the hedge maze" Discord corrected, confusing me further. "You don't remember?" He asked.

"I think I would've remembered fighting you a second time Discord, but I am curious as to how I got here and why I'm covered in bruises," I said, now it was Discords turn to be confused.

"I see, most intriguing this is" He mumbled, looking me up and down then grinned. "When we fought in the hedge maze you were downright terrifying, I'm still shaking with both fear and excitement just think about it. The way you moved and the way you acted made me wonder if I would leave with my life" Discord said, making me feel a sense of déjà vu and an image of a pitch black fist flashed in my mind. "The feeling was... exhilarating" he said before going into a giggling fit.

"I-I don't understand, I was knocked out by you, how could I even fight you?" I questioned him, but another image popped up with the pitch black arm pinning Discord to the ground with another black fist hitting him. This one looked more shadow like than the other which looked like a river of ink. "What is... happening?" I groaned feeling my body become heavy suddenly.

"Seems your body is still recovering from that little transformation earlier, but maybe if given the right push..." Discord said, trailing off looking back and chuckled. "Seems they found me, but I think their plan for beating me wont work" he stated confidently and turned to face whatever was coming.

"We finally found you!" Twilight shouted as the most of the girls came rushing towards us. Jay, Jackson and Spike were right next to them as well and for some reason, Spike was wearing Rainbows element. "Okay everyone, get ready to blast him!"

"Now watch this dear Thomas, I will humiliate and completely shatter her spirit all in one go" Discord said and walked towards the group. "Ah, ms. Sparkle, it truly is a pleasure to see you once again and pray tell, what kinda thrown together posse have you brought before me?" He asked, amused at how utterly distraught the whole team had become.

"I figured out your damn riddle and we have the elements, once we finish charging the blast, we'll finally end your reign of tyranny" Twilight said, though Discord had a look of doubt on his face.

"Well color me surprised, congratulations are in order... tell you what" Discord started. "I'll let you have the first shot" he said.

"One shot is all we need to kick your ass" Jackson said, but Discord laughed.

"Is that right, okay then" He started and grew a menacing grin. "If you fail, then I will wreak havoc across equestria for all eternity" Discord warned them, sending chills down all our spines. "Better make it count"

"Oh don't worry, we will, " Twilight said as the girl's and spike floated up, charging the elements. "Hope you had fun, because this will-"

"Never work" Discord said, finishing her sentence just as Rainbows element fidgeted on spike, causing some sort of failsafe on the other elements. A moment passed and the elements blew the girls, along with spike, away from each other.

"What happened?" Jay asked.

"Everything was fine, until the element of Loyalty triggered something and blew them away" I answered, slowly feeling my body recover. "I read in a book I found at Nightmares castle that only the bearers of harmony can control the power, if used by someone else, a fail safe is triggered and it renders them useless until they're all brought back to the original owner's" I said, slow but loud clapping was heard from Discord who was smiling diabolically.

"Right on the money dear Thomas, you see I knew the elements wouldn't work without the right criteria in place, so when I deliberately split you all up and took away the three nuances, I was able to break and change the very nature of their beings" He stated and all our hearts sank hearing this news.

"You... changed them" Twilight said in disbelief and sadness, her color then suddenly started fading away, replacing it with a gray color. Her look became depressed and hopeless.

"How... how could you" Jay breathlessly asked in shock.

"You're a monster" Jackson said through clenched teeth. "Turn them back, NOW!" He demanded.

"Sorry little ones, but what's done is done, and why would I undo my marvelous work I mean just look at them, simply beautiful" Discord laughed out.

"You..." Discord turned to me the moment I spoke, then turned pale. "Ill... kill... you"

3rd P.o.v

"Seems as though your form is back, it's just as terrifying as I remember it" Discord said breathlessly as stared at Thomas.

From his kneck to his waist , Thomas was covered in inky unholy darkness, it also covered both of his arms and hands creating small but sharp claws on his fingertips, it ate away at his clothing as though it was paper touching fire. His face had black markings creeping up to his jaw before stopping, forming small sharp teeth in his mouth, his iris turned a burning crimson red that looked tired and angry. Finally was what scared even Discord, two black horns curled on the sides of his head, his form looked unholy and terrifying to the other's who watched Thomas transform.

"H-He's... t-terrifying" Fluttershy stuttered out, unconsciously falling back into her timid self.

"So that's what we felt when we headed back to castle" Jay said, getting the same chill as he did before at the castle.

"I thought it was Discord... but it was Thomas" Jackson said. "Unbelievable"

"This fear, this excitement... I've longed for something such as this for thousands of years" Discord muttered to himself, feeling his body tremble. "Hehehe... WELL C'MON THEN BOY, LET'S SETTLE THIS RIGHT-" he stopped when Thomas raised his tired eyes to him.

"Shut up" He calmly told him, to which Discord obediently obeyed much to his dismay. "Jay, Jackson... get everyone as far away from here as possible, and get the pie family as well" he instructed the two.

Not wanting to disobey him, Jay and Jackson rounded up the girls and Spike quickly before getting ready to run off. Though they were still worried about what their friend was up too, so Jackson held them back a moment.

"What are you gonna do Thomas?" Jackson asked, though he immediately regretted asking once Thomas shifted his gaze to him.

"The right question is... what am I not gonna do" he answered, reiterating Jackson's question. "Now go"

"But-"

"I said, leave" Thomas repeated himself, the two boy's looked at one another and nodded before taking everyone and rushing away. "I believe this is round three Discord, only this time I'm actually conscious"

"It would seem so, your very presence makes me want to run and hide like a scared little boy" Discord said with a small chuckle. "But there are no boy's here, just two men itching to kill each other," he continued, summoning and drawing a sword.

"Men you say?" Thomas queried, holding out his right hand and summoned his sword. "I only see monster's"

"What's the difference?" Discord asked before readying himself. Thomas took out his phone and pressed something that felt right for this situation.

When the song had started, the two circled around one another just waiting for the first strike. As the song picked up, so did they and inched closer to each other. Then when it finally picked up, the two launched at each other at speeds only Rainbow can dream of, and the sound the swords made when Thomas and Discord caught each other in a power struggle, it reminded Thomas of thunder.

Each swing of their blade's sent rippling shockwaves around them, every step was calculated and planned as fast as they moved. The fighting was so intense that the clouds in the sky roamed above them in a circle, bringing down heavy droplets of rain down on top of them. Though it seems it barely affected the two that were caught in the trance of battle.

Thomas parried Discords forward stab and back handed the chaos being a few feet from him, stunning him briefly. Seeing an opening to strike, Thomas catapulted towards the man.

Once in front of him, Thomas went for a quick jab but missed by a hair as Discord regained his bearings and dodged then sent his own jab. Thomas blocked it in time, allowing him to get a downward slash in, only to be parried and grind against Discords blade. Seeing the situation he was in, Thomas knee'd Discords side twice, giving him a chance to quickly punch then bash Discords face onto his knee.

Discord growled at Thomas, but jumped back to get some distance between the two. The being felt his blood run down his nose, which seemed to piss him off a helluva lot more than before. Snapping his fingers, he created four chaos orbs all the size of his head and sent them towards Thomas. Thomas saw the four orbs then held up his left hand.

"White Flame" Thomas muttered, coating his hand in a snow white flame. He then spread it across his sword fast enough to quickly jump over the first orb coming towards him. With a swift motion of his hand, the white flame sword cut through the chaos magic with ease, destroying it without a trace. Landing gently on the ground once more, he ran forward, going head first into danger.

"Fool, I don't know how he dispelled my chaos magic, but I do know he won't survive if he head's towards them head on" Discord chuckled, seeing as though he might win.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that Discord" Thomas said, fluidly dodging, spinning and slashing Discords attacks with ease. "Like I said, I. Will. Kill. You" he repeated himself, entering another power struggle with Discord.

The Pie Family Farm, P.o.v- Jackson

"Okay, I think that's everyone" I said, suddenly flinching as we heard another shockwave. "Thomas is fighting out there right now and we ran away with our tails between our legs, doesn't that piss you off?" I asked Jay who finished tying up Pinkie, the poor girl was shaking and fidgeting uncontrollably so we subdued her on a chair that we nailed to the floor. Everyone was one edge the second we came here, we ran into maud and her family hiding in a far off cave so we told them to stay there until everything was done, then we came here to catch our breaths from... whatever Thomas was now.

"You have no idea how pissed off I am, but you saw what that monster did to our friend's, he was able to change their very nature with little to no resistance" Jay said gesturing to the girls, still acting horrible to each other. "If only there was a way to change them back, remember who they really were before Discord got to them" he said with a sad sigh.

"It's no use, why try and fight it, the best thing to do is just... leave" Twilight said in a depressing tone, she grabbed her element crown and tossed it away. "There's nothing here for me anymore, my friends are gone, and soon Discord will come and kill you two... so I'm taking spike and leaving" Twilight said shocking us both. We tried to reason with her, but she just ignored us the entire time as she headed to the back room where we put spike since he was hit the worst.

Though the second we entered the room we saw spike on the floor in a fetal position next to a giant pile of scrolls.

"Come on spike, we're leaving, I don't know where but... it will be anywhere but here" Twilight said, ignoring the fact that her assistant was in pain.

"I can't *burp*I can't move... Princess Celestia has been spending these letters since I first got in here" Spike groaned out, holding his stomach. I walked over to the poor boy, quickly lifting him up and setting him on the bed. That seemed to help him a tad bit.

Twilight walked over to the pile of scrolls, picking one up then opening it. It was her friendship report, I would usually get those once a week or so, but I was curious as to why Celestia would be sending them back.

"I.. I understand now!" Twilight exclaimed, reading more and more of her friendship report. Her original color suddenly started coming with each letter she read until Twilight reached the very last one, completely regaining her form. "Guy's, everything is so clear now. Discord is trying to distract us from what was really important, he knows how powerful our friendships are and he's trying to keep all of us from seeing it" Twilight rant off. "Jackson, Spike, remember how I said that the future of Equestria didn't rest on me making friends?" She asked.

"Oh yeah, why?" I asked then suddenly came face to face with the woman.

"Well I was wrong, the friendships I made with you, Jay, Thomas, and girls helped saved everyone from Nightmare moon and any other trouble that came out way" Twilight answered pulling back. "*gasp* I think I know a way to change everyone back to normal"

"Really, how!?" Jay asked excitedly.

"I need you two to hold down Applejack while I try a memory spell, in theory, it will help trigger her most recent memories with all of us together and bring back her true self" Twilight said, seeing it as an opportunity to bring our friend back, Jay and I headed back to girls who were all sitting on couch arguing. We grabbed Applejack lifted her up, then held her in place allowing Twilight to try her spell. Twilight charged up her horn for a few seconds before resting it on Applejacks head.

"Let me go ya damn-" Applejack stopped abruptly, her eyes going wide for a moment then she passed out. A few minutes passed and she sprung up like a scared chicken. "What happened, where's Discord!?" Applejack asked frantically looking around, her color coming back

"You're back!" Twilight cheered, quickly embracing the cowgirl.

"Uh... where did Ah go?" She asked, confused as to why Jay and I were holding her in place. "What happened with Thomas?" Applejack asked, obviously worried about the boy.

"He's fine for now, but the girl's need to remember who they are so will you please help me" Twilight begged, though she probably should've known the answer to that.

"Darn right Ah will, c'mon y'all, we got work to do,'' Applejack said then heard another shock wave. "What in tarnation was that?" She asked us, suddenly feeling a chill cours through her body.

"Well, while you and the girls were trying to kill each other due to Discord changing all of you, Thomas kinda... well he sorta, damn how should I put this-"

"He changed into what could as well be considered a devil incarnate, he's probably about to kill Discord then kill all of us for fun right after" Fluttershy answered for me, rather accurately I might add. "Now will you all shut up so I can... try not to think about it... please" She muttered, her color coming back slightly.

"Sure flutters, but we have to discuss what to do if that happens" Jay said quietly, trying not to make her mad.

"Well first things first, we have to bring back the girls, find Rainbow dash and get her back to normal then hopefully after that we can contain Discord once more" Twilight said.

"Solid plan, but why the 'hopefully'?" I asked as we headed over to the other three girls.

"Well like Fluttershy said, Thomas might try to kill him"

Back At the Far End Of The Farm, 3rd P.o.v

"So Discord, have you finally decided to give up?" Thomas asked the man who was covered in bruises, cut's, burn marks and blood. Thomas wasn't looking that far from him, but he did keep most injuries to a minimum this time so he only sustained bruises and a few slashes.

"Tho... Thomas my boy, we both know... I will not give up until I have this world on its knees, and have chaos at every turn" Discord wheezed out, coughing up some blood. "You're gonna have to kill me if you ever want peace in this land again" he said in a husky and ruff voice.

"If dying is the only way to stop you, then I'll leave nothing behi-" Thomas froze in place suddenly feeling this unearthly feeling of pain wash over him like a tidal wave. He dropped his sword and cried out in pure agony as he fell to his knees from how intense the feeling was. "What's... Happening... to... me!?" Thomas choked out, his body pulsing from the strain inflicted upon it, his dark form slowly disappearing as well as his horns.

"Ha... Hahaha!" Discord laughed seeing what was happening.

"Shut up!" Thomas yelled at the man but this time, Discord was able to ignore the command. "What the hell is going on!?" Thomas demanded to know.

"Oh my dear boy, you seem to have run out of whatever that strange power was, you're back to none threatening form" Discord answered the distressed boy's question. "Your body has suffered so much in such little time that it finally gave way to the strain it was inflicting on you" he explained further.

"This... cant be happening" Thomas groaned in disbelief. "I was so close to winning, so close to avenging my friends... c'mon body, mooooove!" He cried out as he struggled to get his body to respond to his request. "I won't let you win damn it" He said, straining himself even more to move.

"Sorry Thomas, but it looks like you lose and I get to reign hell over this for centuries" Discord proclaim, walking over to Thomas and lifting him up by his throat. "You never stood a chance anyways" Discord told him pompously before raising Thomas up some more then threw him as hard as he could.

Thomas flew through the air at high speeds, completely unable to stop himself or even sheild himself from the crash landing he was about to face.

"You over did it you stupid brat" The demon told him in his mind. "Pretty stupid going all berserk after taking a piece of my power when you dont even know what you're doing with it"

"I had to try, if I didn't then everyone would've died by Discords hands" Thomas sighed out, closing his eyes. "But you're right, I don't know what I'm doing and trying to act like I do, doesn't help in the least. The power I took from you was unruly, menacing, and above all else... it was absolutely terrifying, it even broke down my body without me even realizing" he said in amazement.

"I'm not here to babysit you kid, you either die or you dont ya hear me, I couldn't care less about what happens to us because we're both monster's on the inside... literally" The demon said. "But I really, REALLY hate the guy so I'll tell you what... lift up your arm's and I'll help you fight this guy" he said, and the strain on his arms eased up a bit which allowed him to lift them up.

P.o.v- Thomas

"Got'cha!" I heard as I felt two hands latch onto mine. I opened my eyes to see Rainbow dash, but her color was gloomier than her original but not as gray as the others. "You are one heavy bastard Thomas" Rainbow said, slowing us down enough for her to gently place me back on my feet.

"Rainbow, are you... you?" I asked the air-user, she landed down next to me then slapped me with her hair. "Jesus, what was that for?"

"Because I felt like it, now onto more pressing matters," Rainbow hissed the moment her eyes landed on Discord. "I don't really care what happens to you or anyone else, but something inside of me is screaming at me to help you out so don't think this mean's anything" Rainbow stated rather coldly, but that didn't matter to me, what mattered was that I had my friend back. Sorta.

"Well I could use the help fighting this guy, think you can keep up? "I teased the woman, she shot me a grin.

"You bet your ass I can!" She exclaimed, racing off towards Discord.

"Alright you brat I healed your body just enough for you to move, you'll still feel a lot of pain but not enough to hinder you" The demon told me, I flexed my muscle a bit and was met with a good amount of pain surging through me, but not as much as before. "And remember brat, if you steal my powers again, you'll end up more worthless than the dirt... now go kill him!" he instructed.

"Wait for me Rainbow!" I yelled at the woman before running after her, it was strange, it felt as though I was running faster than before. I was somehow keeping up with Rainbow without transforming into that weird form, my body must've instinctively adapted to it as I was fighting Discord earlier. "If that's the case then I wonder what other physical boosts I manage to gain?" I muttered to myself, but that question would have to be answered later because Discord was charging towards us as well.

He seemed a lot slower than when we fought, that must mean he's still hurt and weak so he won't be able to use his chaos magic. This left him with no choice but to face us head on, he's getting desperate.

"I've grown tired of our little dance Thomas, so would be so kind as to die as fast as possible?" Discord asked me, dodging Rainbows dive bomb attack then a sword slash from me. "How you are moving breaks the very laws of this world, you should still be groveling in absolute agony, not swinging a sword!" Discord growled, growing ever more frustrated with the lack of death in me.

"Sorry Discord, but if I die then who will clean Rainbows house, who will answer Twilights endless questions and who would even remember me if I lost to someone like you!" I shouted at him right before sweeping his leg then dove out the way as Rainbow came rocketing in with a flying drop kick. The force of the attack caused him to fly in the air for a moment before face planting on the hard, rough floor. "Nice work Rainbow!"

"Shut up would ya" Rainbow said, walking over and helped me back up. "And you do know I clean my own house right?" She asked, a little offended for some reason.

"Yeah but I would think you'd be pretty lonely without me around the house" I said with a chuckle. A fiery blush wash over her cheeks hearing this and she tried to argue with me, only to let out squeaks and voice cracks. "Aww, I didn't know you cared so much" I teased, giving her a hug.

"I... you... fffffine, I guess I do care about what happens to you" Rainbow said. "I mean, am I not supposed to care about my best friend?" She asked me before going a still a plank of wood, I let go of her and rainbows gloomy look faded away as her original colors came back to her. "Oooooh~... my head hurts a little"

"Good to have you back Rainbow" I said with the first genuine smile of today. I didn't think twice before embracing the girl in a tight hug, she seemed confused but also flustered as this was happening. "*ahem* Sorry about that, its just, your quite possibly the only good thing thats happened to me today" I admitted to her, breaking the embrace.

"Wait... really?" Rainbow asked, blushing and fidgeting with her thumbs a bit.

"Oh just kill me already, if I wanted to see a cheesy romance story then I would've gone to the movies'' Discord said, interrupting our reunion and rushed towards me. Pushing Rainbow out the way of danger, I raised my sword to his once more, putting us both in a power struggle. "Why won't you just give up and die already!" he roared.

"Because Im tired of giving up, I've been kicked and pushed to the ground more times than I can count, people said I was nothing but trash that was meant to be thrown away, I was just another stupid kid with no talent and rotten luck" I said. "But no matter how many times I fell I got right back up, so you can knock me down nine times, but I'll just get up ten and kick your ass!" I exclaimed, spinning our sword's around until we lost our grips with them. Then I slammed my fist in his face and side, but he slugged me in the gut and shoulder with the heaviest punches I've ever felt. Each punch we threw at each other was like a giant weight slamming on our bodies, constantly beating our flesh raw. I'm pretty sure you could hear how hard the punches were.

"When I kill you, I'll take so much joy in it that I'll dedicate a whole day about how I killed this persistent, annoying, little, shit!" Discord growled, but I chuckled at this comment, making us stop our attacks. "Why are you laughing?" He asked.

"What's that old saying Discord, 'Be careful how you treat people, because what you do has a funny way of coming back to bite you'" I quoted as I looked behind him, he turned to see the girls all together with the elements functioning properly and boy, do they look pissed. "Karma's a real bitch aint she?"

"Shit, I gotta move!" Discord cursed under his breath, but before he could move, I put him in a full Nelson. "What the- you fuckin idiot, if you get hit to then were both going to be turned to stone!" Discord said but I didn't move.

"Time to go back home to your stone prison Discord" I told him and the girls shot the Rainbow beam. Discord and I stared at the beam coming right for use, while he was terrified beyond belief, I was waiting for the beam was close enough. The second I knew he had no chance of escaping, I shoved Discord as hard as I could towards it and jumped out the way.

"YOU BASTARD, I'LL BE BACK, THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'VE SEEN OF ME YOU FOOLS!!!!" Discord bellowed out as the beam wrapped around him for a moment before dispersing, revealing Discord turned to stone.

"We... we did it" Jay said, helping the girl's down from the air.

"Yeah.. we...... did...... it" I mumbled slightly, my energy finally spent, my body went limp and the darkness covered my vision. "I'm just gonna nap..." I mumbled before finally passing out.
