Things were not looking so good for the main group as they had just watched Tirek murder their newest ruler. But somehow, their next target was Discord since they were still wishing revenge on him for putting them in stone prison. Their plot for him was to use some of the stolen magic they had conjured from thousands of dead unicorns their groups had slaughtered and use it to imprison him back into stone, then dispose of him into the Celestial Ocean where he would never be seen again. Their first plot was to get rid of Twilight and Luna first because they knew those two would have the most magical forces to intercept their schemes, and since traps would not work on them, they schemed to kill them and steal their magic first.

Now here was everybody sitting in chairs all covered in blood and bruises from all the beatings and tortures. The massive evil group that had done this to them had managed to quickly scatter like roaches, including Thunder Clash, Chrysalis, and Tirek. Reason being, they had figured that since they had murdered Twilight that their time for torture on them was complete, so now here was everyone in too much pain. Yet, they stared at Twilight's dead body and crying over it, they now knew how much anger and hatred was building up in them.

"How could they?!" asked Zodi.

"Who's going to rule Equestria now?!" asked Kyle, their condolences were quickly interrupted by the sound of rushing hooves and feet. Nathan and his friends turned to see Discord and the others had managed to find them, but their relief soon turned to sadness as they quickly saw Twilight's dead body lying on the floor. Her blood staining every bit of torn carpet and her eyes closed in death, all that Rainbow Dash could see was a hole in her head showing signs she was murdered.

"NATHAN!!!!!!" said an all too familiar voice, Nathan looked to see Apple Bloom along in the crowd that had followed Discord.

"BLOOMY!!!!!!" screamed Nathan, and they ran to each other and kissed on the lips.

"You're alright!" Apple Bloom said as she hugged her husband.

"Ah' can't say the same for you sug." Nathan said, he then turned to Discord with utter disappointment.

"Discord, Ah'm afraid we've lost for real this time."

"But how could this have happened, I hoped to have seen they would stay in stone!" Discord yelled.

"Now do you all believe me?!" Zodiac asked with an annoyed tone.

"Okay Zodi, you were right, we should've listened to you." said Flurry Heart, but he was still not falling for it.

"Do you all realize because you did not heed my warning that Twilight is now DEAD?!!!"

The fact of seeing Zodi on the verge of tears put them in deep pain and instant remorse, Zodi knelt down on his forehooves and stared at Twilight's corpse. He then lifted her head up as he started to cry.

"She was my teacher, my mentor, my counselor!" he said as the tears now slid down his face, he was soon joined by the instant grieving group. The second one to bow in anguish was Nathan.

"She was mah' aunt!"

Followed by Skyla and Flurry Heart.

"Our aunt!"

"Now she's........gone!" said Zodi.

"How could they?!" asked Rarity.

"Now how are we going to defeat them?!" asked Rainbow Dash.

"It's over Discord," said Zodi angered, "Not even your stupid stone imprisonment would stop them!"

"And I don't think we're ever going to defeat them now." said Gallus, "What with the fact that we have three dead alicorns who were the only chance of thriving the Magic of Friendship."

"Oh the poor Friendship blockheads." said Tirek out of nowhere, he was walked beside with Chrysalis and Thunder Clash with their guns pointed directly at them. Kyle drew out his gun and pointed it at them.

"Drop those weapons now!" ordered Kyle, but the trio refused and laughed.

"Why should we drop our weapons, you all are the ones outnumbered this time!" said Thunder.

"And now that Twilight is dead, friendship doesn't exist here anymore, meaning we have full control of the entire kingdom now!"

"That's enough Tirek, you and your evil mindset ideas have pushed us over the line!" said Discord, "Maybe a nice extended stay back in stone will......." but he was quickly cut off by Tirek, who had managed to grab him by the throat and with a very hard hit, pinned him to the wall. Discord could now sense fear as he felt Tirek press his gun against his head.

"Forget it you filthy snake!" he shrieked, "YOU'RE THE ONE GOING BACK INTO STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tirek then opened his mouth and drained Discord of his magic then threw him to the ground in an aggressive manner. Once he was weak and defenseless, Tirek zapped the magic he had stolen from Discord and it engulfed him in a light.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Discord screamed, next thing known, there he was back in a stone prison that he had been in all those moons ago. Tirek and Thunder Clash then gave a signaling sound and a group of terrorists with guns came down to join them.

"Solders." said Thunder.

"Yes boss?" asked one of the terrorists.

"I want you all to take this statue into the open pasture and I want you to smash it to pieces with these sledgehammers." said Thunder Clash.

"Hey, don't you dare do that!" yelled Applejack, but she was head butted by one of the terrorists' rifles. With brute force, the evil group had managed to gather around Discord's stone prison, and with help from Tirek and Chrysalis, they managed to drag the imprisoned Discord's statue up the stairs without any hesitation. As Nathan and Kyle stood by and saw now that there was almost no sign of any hope of ever winning, Nathan growled and bucked a chair back hard!

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!"

"I know, how could they!?!"

"Now how are we going to defeat them!?!" whined Zodiac.

"There's only one thing to do now..." said Rarity.

"What's that Rarity?" asked Skyla.

"We're gonna have to go to Tirek's old kingdom and then get help from the changelings!"

"It's worth a shot of victory, LET'S DO IT!" said Kyle!
