I had to ask Twilight where the fight was going to be, and she just said to wait for the girls to get their, so we did. After about twenty minutes, the six friends had come back with what looked to be different types of weapons. Rainbow Dash had a broadsword, but had only about a hand-and-a-half long grip. Applejack had a two headed battle-ax that was half as big as her,and looked to be about 100 lbs. Rarity came back with a longbow. Pinkie had a gate-buster war hammer, which is a war hammer with overly large heads. And Fluttershy had the most interesting weapon. The shy mare had a longsword that looked like the Dragonslayer from Berserk, but I couldn't be sure, that is until she got closer. From there, I could see that the sword was in fact Dragonslayer, but it probably had different properties in this world.

"Fluttershy, I have to ask. Are you actually able to wield that thing? I honestly just want to know. Also, why are you guys all armed? You aren't fighting Discord, I am." I say to the assembled group of girls.

"Oh, we know. It's just extra precaution, as Discord as only ever fought us and the two princesses, and both times the Elements of Harmony where needed to put him down. It's not that we don't think you can fight. It's in case you end up pissing off discord enough that the elements need to be used." Twilight says, before summoning the one weapon I didn't expect for her to summon. Her weapon was a scythe. But this scythe was the type of scythe that you see on those t-shirts, the ones where death is standing in the picture, holding the twisted, gnarled wood of the curved weapons handle. The sun didn't shine on the blade. In fact, the blade just seemed to suck out the light from the surrounding area. The effect went away when Twilight twirled it around in a fancy flourish, before settling it on her back in its sheath. Or whatever scythes go in when carried.

"What are the weapons?" I ask, intimidated and scared at the answer she might give me.

"Would you believe me if I said that they are the Elements of Harmony. Because we didn't either when we first got them, back when we stopped Nightmare Moon." Twilight says, confirming my thoughts on them actually being the supposed elements.

"That's some dangerous Harmony. Have you learned why they are weapons?" I ask.

"Yes and no. Yes in that we know how to use them and that we have had to use them many times now, each time has been successful. No in that we haven't found out much more than most of what each weapons powers are. And we don't have time to go into detail. Discord will be expecting you soon." Twilight finishes, as she looks at the sky, noting the position of the sun.

We walk to the meadow that Discord had told us to meet him, and as we get there, he suddenly appears in a puff of smoke on a really nice motorcycle. I almost cry when he gets off and it disappears with a puff of smoke. It had been a Ducati Diavel, and it had been nice. After he had gotten off and it had disappeared, he walked over to us and pulled a backpack from literally nowhere. He opened it up and pulled something out.

"By the way, before I forget. Queen Faust told me to give you these. Said they are a few of your prized possessions, whatever that means. Anyways, here you go." He said offering me the items from the bag. They looked to be my music phone, the phone I keep for just music, and a pair of Bluetooth headphones, like the pair that I had back home. Actually when I thought about it, they looked EXACTLY like the phone and headphones I had back home. I took them from Discord and turned on the phone. As it turned on, the boot up screen was the same. Then came the moment of truth, the lock screen.

Now, my phone has a screen lock unlike other phones. There is an app out there that, if installed, replaces your password with whatever time it happens to be at that given moment. So when the lock screen that I had chosen appeared on the phone, I incredulously swiped right and typed in the time. To my utter happiness, it was my phone, meaning the headphones where mine too, from back in my world. I looked up at Discord and went over to give him a hug. He was a bit odded out by that fact, but slowly returned it. After that he said.

"Alright, we still have a fight to get on with. So don't get all sappy on me, and wimp out before we fight. Also, give me your best." He said before going to one side of the field. I agreed, and put on my headphones, queuing up a shuffle playlist for me to listen to. I tend to focus well when I listen to music. As I slip my phone into my pocket, I feel something inside next to it. I pull it out and see that it's a small note. It says "Remember to laugh!"

As the first song comes on, I start to do just that. I couldn't think of a better song to go with how I was feeling, or wanting, with this fight.

After that, I just couldn't stop laughing, and it felt pretty good to. It wasn't an insane persons laugh, but a good old fashioned belly laugh. One that makes you feel really happy afterwards. And the better I felt, the more I felt a power start to grow within me. As the song really started to get going, I started to run at Discord. I was still laughing, and I was starting to transform. My laughter went to a more maniacal laugh, like a hyenas, my body started to glow, and swirls of magic light surrounded me, and as it grew brighter, I couldn't see anything, but I could feel myself change. It was instant, but suddenly I felt like playing. The light vanished in a swirl of color, and I was still running at discord, laughing as if I had become a maniac. I looked down to see that i had a new body.

I had the body of a howler.

Author's Note

I'm gonna fight Discord. The song doesn't carry over to the next episode, it is only to portray how I felt at that moment, and served to trigger my first transformation into a Howler. I hope you all enjoy this, as this I my take on the Elements of Harmony, and we will learn a little more about them later. As well as it is my take on how they have to solve problems with violent weapons. Anyways, I now have to go fight Discord, so I need to go.

Have a Jivin day!
