The next day, I went down to the forge again. I needed to make some better weapons than the heirlooms the girls had. They needed to be strong. I had some of the scythes and chains still from the graveyard, and some extra metals from down in the crypt. I also had some of the bones from Tophreltes skeletal armor, as it wasn't all pony bones.

I wanted to make some heartfelt weapons to help them protect themselves. The thing is, I needed help to make everything.
So, I called in Discord. I asked him if he would help me forge some things, and he agreed to help. So we got started.

As my arm started to glow purple, I pulled out some of the chains and scythes from my hammerspace. I was starting with Pinkie's weapon. I was making the Vorpal Blade from Alice: Madness Returns, like they make in Man at Arms. Also, bite me, they were cool and they did an awesome job on all the weapons they ever made.

In the episode where they create it, they do it in the original lamination style of the Japanese and the Swedish, which they called hot dog in a bun. In the show though, they already have a bar to chisel the groove into, but I have to make one, so I get started. I have Discord fire up the ovens, and start to melt out the steel from the chains,and scythes. i had some extra ore that I had from Link, I had taken his offer of ores from his dimension. I had some Thaumatice, Dragocite, Moon-stone, and a little Unicorn Silver. I would make most of the blade form regular demon steel, the steel from the demons we killed. The mild steel and iron would be from the chains, and the high carbon bar to put in was the scythe blades.

I melted down the pieces into the bars, and then while the mild chains were still warm, I pressed a groove into it. Then I put the high carbon bit in, and started to forge weld it. It slowly took shape, as I was also using magic to help with the strikes from the power hammer. Discord stood near, keeping the forge hot, and I went back and forth over and over to forge weld the two metal bars together. I could feel the slag from the metal when it flew at me. I kept a constant flow of magic to start melding the two bars, and eventually we had the length. After that, we started to form out the edge, using the edge of the power hammer die, and make the general shape of the end blade. And finally, we made the tang, the part of the blade that goes in the handle.

I don't bevel it, like the show, because the high carbon core would move around to much, and wouldn't be exposed properly when ground out. Then, I hand it to Discord to grind.

As he moved to the belt sanders, he had to watch and make sure that the core wasn't over-exposed, or ground to show more core on one side than the other. He did it perfect, and then he started to grind off most of the scale on the outside of the bar, making it look like a steel unfinished knife that wasn't polished.

As he finishes up his grinding, I start to make the handle of the knife. I am making it out of Thaumatice, so I can put some speed enhancements, and some bleeding magic. Not true blood magic, but it makes weapons make enemies bleed more. I started by heating a small bar up with the forge, and then I use some hand hammers to hammer it into a circular grip. To make sure it will fit the tang, I take the knife form from Discord after he is done grinding, and clamp it down, and hammer the hot Thaumatice onto it.

I take the hilt off, and hand it back to Discord so he can grind a primary bevel. He had made it with a slight edge before so he could see if he needed to shave more of from one side or the other. He will be doing a full flat grind. He grinds it down to the shape he needs, and then he changes the sanding belt out for another, finer belt. He then cross grain grinds, which uses a finer belt to get rid of most of the grit scratches from the lower grit belt, slightly polishing it. Then he changes out from there, and starts polishing the blade actual.

After he finishes polishing the knife, we start to heat treat it. Since it is metal from Hell, we can't go regular heat treat levels. So, we bring the piece up to about 1500 degrees celsius, and then start heat treating it. As the blade is heated, the two types of steel we used start to show clearly. We quench the blade in manticore blood, as a manticore had attacked my home, and had subsequently been killed by my raptor. So, I saved the blood for re-use. We had to lightly bend the blade to shape as it had been warped, but it was easy to reshape due to the hot-dog in a bun method of forging.

With the blade tempered, I go back to the handle and start to hammer on it, to give it some light texture, and more character. Discord takes the tempered blade over for a final polish, so I can start on the engraving.

I start engraving the handle, and make it to look like the blade in the game. Once Discord finishes on the polisher, he hands me the blade, and I engrave it to also look like the blade in the game.

( I know it is put together already, but please humor me on this.)

After I finish the engraving for the two pieces, me and Discord take our respective pieces, and stand facing one another. Then, I start to shove the handle onto the blade, and as I do so, I pour magic into it to hold itself onto the blade, to conform to the tang and never separate from one another. Doing so causes a lot of resistance, and so we have to put our weight into pushing the handle and blade together.

And finally, it is done. I take a look at the finished blade, and give Discord a high five for his help. We set it aside, and head to lunch.

I decided to make Rainbow Dash's weapon next. I really didn't do much to make it, as I just made the Doctor's club from the game Dead By Daylight. I thought it would be a good idea. I used Thaumatice on the tip, to give it lightning shock abilities, much like the doctor in the game. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was still a heartfelt weapon I made.

For Twilight, I made a weapon I had once seen called the Antithesis. It was made with a bone handle, and a black crystal. The lore behind it wasn't extensive, but it said that the black crystal could shape itself to any weapon type. The color of the blades aura is like a mood changing ring, the color tells intent. The bone handle can grow or shrink based on the weapon desired, and the weapon itself is made from a black crystalline item that instantly liquefies and reforms in the desired shape, before solidifying again. The weapon was said to be sharper than steel when it was finished forming. So, I took one of the bones, and some Moon-stone, and melted them together with some glass. I then enchanted it to never break, and to form itself to whatever length was necessary for desired weapon. I then ripped a chunk of my arm crystal off. Then I thought of the enchantments I wanted for the crystal, and formed it into the cube that I had seen in the picture. I put it together, and fused them. I set it aside to give to Twilight.

Rarity's weapon was a simple one. I was going to make a needle. A sewing needle, one of the hand ones, into a large weapon. I took some more bone out, and started to enchant it, while also extracting whatever dark magic might have been in it. I made my crystal arm vibrate as I used it to shave away the bone to the desired shape. I then created an edge, and the opening hole for where the thread would enter. I finished enchanting it to stay sharp, and pierce and hack whatever Rarity would fight.

And I was done. The weapons I had made for my herd were finished. I needed to show them to them, and hoped they liked them. I left the forge, and Discord left with me, saying he wanted to watch me gift them to the girls. He also said he wanted to talk to Butchershy.

I went into the house, and saw the girls on my TV, playing a racing game. Twilight was fascinated by the engine, and everyone else was interested in the design and gameplay. I spoke to them.

"Hey, girls, I just finished making some weapons for you four. You wanna come see them? Laid them out on a rock out in the yard to showcase." They all agree, and head down and outside to see the weapons I made for them.

"Pinkie, I made your weapon first, with Discord's help, so here you are. I give you the Vorpal blade." I hand it to her.

And her appearance suddenly changes. Her hair looses it's poof, and falls straight. Her eyes get a sad yet maniacal look to them, and her clothes change to the Misstitched dress. The pieces look like Cutie Mark cuts, and she has not one set of wings, but three, each one a different color. Around her neck, along the apron, is what looks like unicorn horns. The face in the middle of the wings, holding them to the dress, is a pony skull.

She grins, and Fluttershy and Applejack start to laugh. They then pull out their weapons, and start to transform into their dark selves. Butchershy says to Pinkie.

"Hello, Pinkamena. Any Cupcakes today?" Pinkamena shakes her head.

"No, I couldn't find anypony willing to help me. It's good to see you two though. We should let the rest of the girls get their new weapons though, it would be rude to interrupt in the middle of this. Rainbow, he made yours next." I nod, keeping an eye on her.

"Yeah, the club. It doesn't look like much, but it does have electrical attacks." Rainbow walks up and grabs the club. When she does, it shoots out an electric pulse like the doctor does in Dead by Daylight. After I am done screaming, and get off the ground, I look at Dash, to see her laughing. She has a lab coat on now, and was covered in blood and colors. She had another rainbow on her coat alone. She looked at me, and raised her left hoof, seeming to charge something up.

And then she released an electric shock. I screamed again. After I was done, she was still laughing, but she helped me to my feet. Then she turned to the three dark mares.

"Hey girls. The doctor is in the house." The three mares clap, and Applehack says.

"Good to see you again, Dr. Dash. Glad you could join the party. Sadly, we don't have any cupcakes though." Dash looked sad at that.

"Wait, Pinkamena hasn't had anypony to make cupcakes out of? Well damn, I might have to help her out with that." Butchershy shakes her head.

"You heard the rules when you where brought here. No killing innocent ponies. Now, since we all seem to be awakening, I wanna see who awakens next." I have to stop myself, and I get back on track.

"Rarity, here is your weapon." I say, as I hand her the hand sewing needle. She takes it, and then faints. I kneel down to help her, but she wakes up instantly. She looks at me and says.

"Oh, why thank you Darling. I have been cooped up for too long. It feels good to finally be let loose." She says as she stands up. That is when I notice that her left eye has scratches over it, and she has claw marks over the rest of her face. They look to be only lightly bleeding, as a single trickle of blood comes from one of the marks by her eyes.

The four dark mares are clapping , and saying.

"Can we get a runway show, Lil Miss Rarity." Rarity shakes her head no.

"Not today. We have one more to awaken." She looks to Twilight, then to me. "I might be seeing you in bed later."

I only nod, and turn to Twilight. She looks just as shocked as I am, and Discord is looking on with amusement and shock.

I pick up the Antithesis, and walk over and hand it to her. She takes a moment to stare at it, before her expression started to get serious. She looked at me, and then the girls, with an uncaring expression, and attitude.

"Girls, it's good to see you all. We need to talk about what is happening, and why Faust had us awakened." I finally had to speak on all this.

"Okay, since the 'awakenings' are done, what is going on. Twilight, or is it something else now, what is going on? And who are all of you supposed to be, and you know what I mean by that question?" Twilight looks at me, and gets a smile that the Joker would be proud of.

"Cameron, we, are the Elements of Disharmony."
