One more day, Discord thought as he begun to sleep, a short sleep indeed, Fluttershy was pacified, and no one was the wiser of any of his doings. Cozy glow, was all he needed for this to work. Cozy glow was doing quite the same charade as he, manipulating people to avoid attention to her planning. She, was much better at this, and hasn't risked their life for it. Hopefully. Discord knew he could never be accepted for long, as he physically required chaos to survive in an orderly world. Even if he wanted to, he could not escape what he had to do, unless he allowed the unthinkable to happen.

The next morning, all bets were off.

He opened his eyes, and surely enough, the seeds were in bloom, and Cozy glow's plan... which he did not know what it was, was in effect. He, may have been the distraction in this, but he sprung up, Fluttershy out there, here gun with her. Maybe she wouldn't use it, he thought.

Fluttershy shot another of the branches with this intense magic. It was destroyed, but two more came around it, like the hydra.

"Even with this, I can't fight it off!" Fluttershy panted as she fired another bullet.

Celestia and Luna came in two grand chariots, one emblematic of the day, and the other of the night. Celestia came out of the one in the moon, and Luna out of the fires of the sun. Luna had a giddy expression, while Celestia had a sobering look.

"Fluttershy, I think this might be Discord's work, and I've heard news that Cozy Glow is creating a ritual to suck the magic from Equestira."

That explained why she was without flight.

"Oh. Oh no" Fluttershy said.

Fluttershy sat down for a moment. She knew where discord was, and if it was his magic, no. No. She couldn't do that until it was explained.

"She's right." "I did this, I can't live in harmony forever." he confessed, "I am the god chaos, and to live a lifestyle of order, is to betray myself." Discord confessed. Perhaps he could repent for his sins, as he knew every Equestrian would know of his crimes. Maybe he could go into a mental institution, or something like that. Maybe he could prevent Fluttershy from being hurt by him.

Discord hung his head low as he waited for his return to stone.

Celestia knew that the gun Fluttershy had was powerful, but not that powerful. The shot boomed as loudly as her sister's voice, barely giving enough time to see Fluttershy smile. Her grin was sharp, and Celestia could see a fang or two.

Had Discord not undone Fluttershy's cruelty like the princesses believed? Was that a hallucination? Good God Celestia doesn't know.

The moment when they locked eyes, was just a moment, but Celestia could see her soul being examined and every fiber of her being fiddled with. Every portion of her will, was tested, to not blurt 'Don't hurt me!' as she looked into her eyes. This... was the stare.

Discord fell to the ground, prehaps seeing the exchange between her and Fluttershy as the last thing he saw, prehaps he would come back after awhile. Whatever the case, she knew that the element of kindness wasn't as kind as she said she was. The vines died with Discord, sinking to the floor of the plains of Ponyville.

"I guess we're the clean-up crew, dear sister." Luna proclaimed.

"...I suppose so." Celestia agreed.

The elements went to confront Cozy Glow, who was at the school, somewhere.

"How the HELL did you kill Discord?" Rainbow asked.

"h-he gave me a gun with magic that could kill him." Fluttershy responded.

"We're not using that against Cozy Glow." "That would be... quite cruel for any one of us." Twilight noted.

"Yes, she is only a child. Perhaps there's still good in her." Rarity mused.

"Maybe." Fluttershy told herself.

The sextuplet walked, mainly because Fluttershy was walking slowly, to the school.

"T-twilight!" She ran towards the purple pony, "Thank Celestia almighty you're here!" Starlight proclaimed.

"Thank you for the warm entrance." Twilight said.

Starlight was hugging the mare.

"...Could" She was not breathing properly, "we" another pause, "go" 1...2...3. "now?"

Starlight stopped hugging Twilight. "Of course" she sheepishly responded.

After blazing by most of the students, the sextuplet found an entrance to a previously unknown basement.

"Since when has this been here?" Rainbow asked nopony in particular.

"Probl'y since the school opened." Applejack responded.

"That was rhetorical, Applejack." Rainbow explained.

"I.. sorta knew." Apple admitted.

"Let's get back to the task at hand, please." Rarity asked of the two.

"Fine." Rainbow grunted.

Twilight used her magic to pry open the trapdoor, seeing Cozy around what seemed to be a black hole, but blue. Twilight saw Fluttershy's smile, that cruel smile that she had only seen when her element had been drained of her. This isn't going to end well, Twilight thought.

Fluttershy, had a gun. She bolted toward Cozy, and put the gun to her head, turning the tide of battle in her friends' favor.

"Fluttershy..." "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" Rainbow dash asked.

"Making it easier to stop the collapse of Equestria" Fluttershy stated as she kept the gun near Cozy.

"Stop this, or else you're dead." "I killed Discord with this." Fluttershy directed Cozy.

There was a silence as Cozy complied, undoing the spell and returning all of the magic to Equestria.
