Sunset and Spike frowned as she saw Cloud pushing a cotton candy cloud towards the Everfree Forest. Sunset raised an eyebrow “What are you doing Cloud?”

Cloud frowned “These stupid Cotton Candy cloud shave been raining chocolate milk everywhere, I’m sending them to the Everfree where no-one would be bothered by them.”

Spike burped out a letter, he then frowned “It seems Celestia knows about what’s causing this and she wants all seven of the Bearers of Harmony in Canterlot.”

Sunset frowned “Cloud, I wish to gather our fellow bearers, start with Rainbow she will help you gather the others. Tell them to meet us at the station.”

Cloud saluted as she flew off, then ten minutes later at the station the whole group arrived with Gilda and Twilight.

Sunset frowned “Gilda, Twilight this is strictly element business so you two should stay here. In fact I have an important job for you two, can you help keep the strange events around here under control while we’re gone.”

Twilight grinned “The Mystical and Magnificent Twilight won’t let you down.” Gilda gave Rainbow a small peck on the muzzle before flying off. Rainbow blushes lightly as she followed her friends onto the train.

Applejack frowned “That chocolate rain hasn’t been very good for the apple trees.”

Rarity grimaced “It is nightmare to get out of your mane, it took me an hour.”

Pinkie smiled “But everyone likes chocolate milk, why are you complaining?”

Sunset frowned “Because your supposed to drink it, not wear it” she then shook her head “Anyway we’re almost in Canterlot now so let’s go.” As soon as the train arrived the group made a beeline for the castle the guards at the front was barely able to get out of the way as they did so.

Celestia frowned as they arrived “Discord, a powerful entity my sister and I sealed away one thousand years ago has escaped. It’s up to you seven to seal him away as you now wield their power.”

Sunset nodded as her six friends looked at her with serious looks on their faces “We’ll be honoured to wield the elements again.”

Celestia smiled “Well that’s good because he could destroy the Harmony we have fought so hard for.” They approached a vault, Celestia pulled out a chest and opened it only to find it was empty, Celestia’s eyes widened “The elements are gone… but how. This vault is supposed to be impenetrable, it is impossible.”

A voice echoed “Now Tia, you seem to forget that I took control of your castle and I made that vault remember. Do you really think you could hide anything in there from me.”

Rainbow growled “Show yourself Coward!”

Discord materialised in front of the pegasus swatting her away “Now does anyone…” Discord coughed up blood as Sunset punched him in the gut causing him to cough up weird pinkish purple blood. Her horn glowed as she telported the pair away.

Celestia turned to the door and bolted “I need to get my sister at once!”

Meanwhile Discord and Sunset appeared above mountains in the sky. Sunset was shrouded in red magic keeping her aloft, Discord grinned “You are quite strong, I normally don’t engage in combat but I owe you after all you are the first mortal to make me bleed.”

The two got into fighting stances before rushing at each other, reality began to shake as the power of the two beings clashed. Sunset punched Discord in the face only for Discord to blast her away.

The two then began, Sunset smiled “You’re pretty tough.”

Discord grinned “So are you. ” Sunset then rushed behind his tail and spun him around before throwing him into a nearby peak. Her claws glowed as she fired a huge beam of magic obliterating the peak.

Discord flew out of the ash kicking Sunset in the jaw, only for her to recover punching him in the gut. Sunset frowned as Discord flew backwards “That should have done a lot more damage” she then growled “you have been powering this whole fight!”

Discord grinned as he let out a little more power “I’m impressed, the fact you have pushed me up to thirty percent of my power before I would have enough power to overcome you.” He then sighed “Unfortunately one as powerful as you is too dangerous to be allowed to live.”

He delivered a powerful kick, Sunset coughed up blood as she was sent flying. Stormwind growled (Do something!)

Sunset growled mentally as she put her arms in front of her as Discord teleported in front of her and unleashed a barrage of strikes (Well I am at my cap right now, Mum sealed my power away when I was a foal and I can’t access it so this is what I have to work with! )

Discord then teleported behind her delivering a mighty punch before firing off a massive blast. Sunset was barely about to recover when the attack was upon her, she then felt something push her out of the way she turned around to see Celestia falling out of the sky as a few white feathers.

Sunset’s eyes widened “Mum.” Fury filled her eyes as the seal powered by the Sun itself began to crack she turned to Discord “You bastard!” She slammed into Discord full of fury, Discord coughed up blood as he flew through several clouds. The seal’s crack grew wider before it shattered.

Sunset was engulfed by a huge flash of silver magic. Discord watched on in shock, as soon as the energy dissipated Sunset was floating there. Sunset’s silver eyes locked onto him, a silver aura surrounded her body. Before he could even blink Sunset was already in front of him, she then punched him “How does it feel to be weak?!”

Discord powered up to full as he growled “Don’t get cocky.” He teleported in front of her and delivered a full powered punch, his eyes widened as she snarled unfazed by his attack “My turn!” She punched him in the stomach, then delivered a razor sharp uppercut to his jaw.

Discord roared “I won’t lose to you!” His eyes glowed red as black energy flared around his body.

Sunset eyes widened as she saw his punches slamming into her sending her reeling, she then saw him coming at her. Sunset dodged every one of Discord’s punches before delivering an equal series of punches, Sunset grinned “It seems I have some form of precognition that allows me to predict every single one of your attacks before you do them.”

Discord sighed as he powered down and raised his arms “I yield.”

Sunset growled “Why should I spare you, you killed my mother you son of a…”

Luna flew up carrying Celestia who while bloodied and bruised was far from dead. Celestia smiled weakly “My precious sun, it will take a lot more than that to kill me.”

Sunset grimaced “You’re still returning to the statue.”

Discord nodded as he clicked his claws the seven elements appearing in a box which “I accept that but a warning, if you ever encounter the Alicorn known as Astra or any of her followers don’t trust any of them.”

Sunset frowned “I will remember, don’t worry.”

Discord smiled as her clicked his claws returning the for of them returning to the castle “That’s all I ask.”

Cloud frowned “What happened?” Sunset explained everything, the group nodded as they then gathered Elements and turned the Draconequus to stone. They all frowned as the statue smiled at them.
