*Alternate Ending:Revival~*
Chapter number 1: We're back
One day, in Equestria,...or rather, near the end of the MLP ANG movie events,...
Izzy and Sunny were all set to put the gems back together to restore the pegasus flight, unicorn magic, and Earth pony strength.
They placed the pegasus crystal on the table’s outline. It shined bright blue like the sky.
“That’s one;” called Sunny. Bang! Sprout hit the lighthouse with his contraption,...
Izzy quickly put in the unicorn crystal. It began twinkling like the stars, and just like the tips of unicorn horns.
“Yay!” Cheered Izzy, before being inturnpet by another BANG of Sprout hitting the lighthouse.
Before the light house was hit again, they placed in the Earth Pony gem, that begins lighting up from the magic of the other crystals. A bright light and then,...
NOTHING.
Time had frozen. Instead of friendship magic making a new alicorn toy for Hasbro Productions, time simply froze. But Sunny felt it as it happened. A familiar essence enveloping her, like a hug almost. It made her feel happy. It made her feel safe. It made her feel the confidence to believe in the power to make a positive change to the world.
It felt like,..her dad was standing beside her. It took her a second to realise that he actually was in fact standing right beside her.
“Dad?” Sunny asked. Argyle nodded as he smiled the warm smile Sunny thought she wouldn't see again.
“Yes, I’m here. You’ve grown into a fine young mare, my precious Sunny Bunny. I’m proud of you for remembering what I have taught you, but also having the courage to develop your own beliefs. This will take you far.” Argyle said.
“Oh,...” Sunny looked closely to realise that her dad looked different; more abstract and like a ghost or spirit of some sort. The time unfroze.
The lighthouse was in bad condition, but not collapsed. Hitch and Zipp had shut down Sprout’s machine, and Pipp had gotten out of the house already.
Then Sunny asked Argyle, “Dad, why do you look like that?”
“I am a visual representation of something that is not living or alive, physically trapped in suspended animation.” Argyle responded.
“Suspended animation?” Asked Sunny.
“Yes. I have been trapped-” Argyle was about to say more, but he was interrupted. Sunny looked at the sky, which was turning dark and stormy,... but the clouds were pink and fluffy! Sunny felt like she had heard of that happening once, but she couldn't remember. It is kind of hard to think clearly when all of this is happening.
Suddenly, the sky began raining chocolate milk. Izzy began drinking some, but the others looked on as a bright flash of light threw out a creature unlike anything they had seen before.
“Discord!” Argyle cried out in surprise.
“You know him?” Sunny asked softly. Argyle only nodded before turning back to the draconequus.
“Leave Sunny, her friends and the rest of the ponies out of this!” Argyle demanded sternly. Discord laughed before saying no.
“I originally did not want to involve them, but when they started bringing back the harmony and magic I, Discord, couldn't just ignore that.” Discord explained. Sprout was terrified and ran off, never too be seen again in this story. (sorry, just trying to balance out the character count~)
“That’s Discord? Why is he here?” Sunny asked her dad.
“Oh Sunny, Sunny, Sunny, you know so much about Equestria’s history and yet still have so many questions.” Discord said as he flew around Sunny.
“What’s wrong with that?” Izzy asked defensively, stepping near Sunny.
Discord merely smirked at Izzy. She kind of reminded him of Pinkie Pie,... “Izzy is the magicaless unicorn. Then Pipp and Zipp, the two pegasus sisters who want their flight back.”
“So you know who we are. Big deal.” Hitch said flatly. "What do you want?”
“Quite the sheriff character we got going on here. Heh. Well, I will tell you all this much: I need the three Crystals of Magic more than you.” Discord revealed the crystals were now in his claw and paw. The crystals being reunited had activated the harmony and brought back Argyle temporarily, but the ponies needed to use them for the spell to release the harmony power.
Discord doesn't care. He wants them all back. The main six had died a long time ago and he missed them. Twilight disappeared with the magic and he missed her too. He used the gems to bring back the mane six. It ripped the cosmos apart into coliding alternate universes when head canons became canon and vice versa.
(Note: the crystal chest, tree of harmony and the maine six are the only significant things that are restored. Also note that the main six are young again because I say so.)
Pinkie Pie rubbed her eyes. “What happened?”
“I don't know, but are we all here? -Girls?” Fluttershy called.
“Rainbow Dash is present!” Rainbow said with the groan of someone who was woken from a nice nap. “Is AJ here?”
“Yup!” Apple Jack called.
“Wait, where is Twilight?” Rarity asked before turning around to see her purple alicorn friend.
“You,..you’re all back!” Twilight cried as she hugged her friends. They all held each other for as long as they could before realising everything had gone haywire…
“Yes~and I will take my leave instead of telling you all my plan because I’m a smarter villain than THAT.” Discord slithered away.
All the ponies started talking at once with questions and randomness that didn't make sense.
“EVERYPONY STOP!!!” Sunny yelled. She demanded an explanation from her dad.
Argyle took a deep breath before he said, “The reason I have been trapped is because I have been trying to find the crystals for a long time. I had found the Earth Pony Crystal, but I lost the Unicorn Crystal. I ran into a unicorn named Alphabittle (I think) and he took the gem from me, because he thought I was trying to destroy it or something along those lines. On my way out of there, I ran into Discord. He wanted the gems to do resurrection but the gems can only be used for the magic once. When I tried to stop him, he captured me.”
“Wow, that’s a lot to take in when you say it all at once.” Whispered Izzy.
“Sunny, we have to stop discord and get the gems back.” Argyle said.

So what do you think so far? My idea is the old generation meets the new and they get to use the tree of harmony to restore magic to the gems. My family helped with the idea. Tada? What do you think?

Chapter number 2: What's Gameplan?
~*~
“Sunny, we have to stop discord and get the gems back.” Argyle said. Everypony nodded in agreement.
Twilight walked to them. “Yes Sunny, we all must work together”
“Princess Twilight Sparkle!” Sunny gasped. “I-I can't believe you are here! I,....I’m a big fan for your work,....” Sunny said, trying not to fall on her knees.
“I have been watching over you for a long time.” Twilight said. Sunny looked behind Twilight to see the other legendary Gaurdians of Harmony. They looked just as she had imagined. Ponies used to tell her, “Never meet your heroes” but perhaps this would be an exception.
“So we have to go to the Tree Of Harmony to use as a magical source to stop Discord and get the gems back and restore everypony’s magic.“ Sunny recapped.
Argyle looked to Sunny with a nod of encouragement. Twilight then turned to Sunny. “Are you ready for an adventure?”
“I guess?” Sunny said. Today was just too much for her,...
“I am always ready to take down someone who would mess up the order of things.” Hitch said, dusting off his badge.
“Hashtag: Adventure W/ BFFz!!!” Pipp sing-songed.
“I bet we will have magic back before we know it! We are awesome!” Zipp cheered.
“You ready for this, Sunny?” Izzy asked eagerly, looking at Sunny expecting her to have that determination in her eyes. But it was very dim..
Sunny sighed. “I do not know how we are going to pull this one off.” Sunny murmured. “I mean, it took us days just to find the crystals. How are we going to get those back from the literal Lord Of Chaos? And he still has magic or chaos energy or whatever the heck he uses.” Sunny looked at Twilight.
“Well, this is not the first time we had to put discord in a magical-stone time-out.” Twilight said, looking eagerly at her friends.
“Yeah!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
“But the magic is mostly gone.” Sunny said sadly.
Twilight stopped and thought for a moment. “Hmmm,...but not completely. Discord has ripped the Space-Time-Continum, and that brought some stuff back~”
“What do you mean?” Rarity asked, as she attempted to use magic and failed.
“Hey, do you feel that?” asked Twilight. Her friends focused and nodded happily.
“Friendship magic,...but if we feel that magical link, then,...” Fluttershy gasped.
“-It’s back! Alive again!” Pinkie Pie cheered.
AppleJack yelled “Yee-haw!”
“Do you realise what this means?” Rainbow asked, full of excitement, “The tree’s magical gems, the elements of harmony, are back and we could use those to bring back the magic and save the day!”
“We could put Discord in a magical stone-time out after we take the gems from him!” Sunny suggested excited, remembering the great powers of the Elements of Harmony. She smiled, fondly remembering one of the many stories her dad told her in which the ponies had put him back into the stone after he escaped it. She also knew that Discord had reformed, so she believed he may actually back down after things get smoothed out.
“Alright. Time to~do~our To-Do list!” Twilight said.
Everypony agreed. Time to go to The Tree Of Harmony..
Sunny was excited to see it.
Izzy, Hitch and Zipp decided to just go with it. When you are friends with a main protagonist, you kind of have to just go with the flow. Pipp was definitely doing that. She was also recording because yeah. Suddenly a hoof turned her phone off.
“Pipp! No! If the world knows where we are going, then that Discord guy could beat us to it.” Zipp warned.
Pipp rolled her eyes. “Dang it.” She muttered before coming with the others. They arrived at the cave of Harmony in a fairly short amount of time.
There it was. The Tree Of Harmony, looking as bright and beautiful as it did over a hundred years ago. “Been a while, Twilight whispered softly into the trunk.
The ponies gently brought down the gems from the crystal branches and at touch, the necklaces of Honestly, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and kindness. Finally, Twilight put the Magic Crown on her head.
“Rember, the elements are attuned to us all, so we will use the magic in pairs.”
Twilight smiled. It felt nice to be doing this for one last time. What better way to leave off Equestria than saving it one last time. One last adventure. One last hug. One last song. “Well, now that we got our magical accessories and have a plan, how about we meet each other. After all, friendship magic is shared with friends.”
Sunny suddenly had an idea. “Oh! Hey Izzy? Remember earlier when we were at your house and you got out the tea set and we had to leave that early?”
“Yeah,...?” Izzy responded, thinking back to how disappointed she had been about that.
“Do you think you have 7 more cups?” Sunny asked. It took Izzy a second to realise what she meant. Izzy gasped, lit up, nodding with a lot of enthusiasm
“Yay!” Izzy said happily.
“Parties? I love parties!” Pinkie pie beamed and the other ponies nodded in agreement. And then they all trotted off.
~yeah~

Sorry that this was short, but I think my next chapter is going to be about focusing on the characters interacting with eachohtehr now that I have the foundation of this story down. After that, maybe 2 or 3 chapteras of them doing their thing and saving the day and stuff.
