Discord followed the group through the forest. He had agreed to go home with them since, well... there wasn't really anything left for him in Ponyville. Or rather.. anyone. Since he lost Fluttershy, he was only half the draconequus he used to be. He spent most of his days keeping her cottage kept up and clean. There wasn't much for him to do when magic vanished. He had lost most of his powers, but retained his bloodline abilities. The things he was able to do that his parents and their parents had before him. He could make plants grow, poof basic necessities, but most of his chaotic abilities were lost when magic disappeared.

"Discord?" Said a voice behind him, he recognized it as Luna's. The draconequus flew to the back of the group of ponies and started walking beside her.

"Yes your majesty?" He said, bowing as he walked and poofing a top hat and bow tie onto himself. Luna laughed softly, but stopped short, her tone becoming more questioning.

"Why did you free me from the moon knowing I would return as Nightmare Moon?" She asked.

Discord stared at her for a few seconds before putting an arm around her and holding her back from the rest of the group so they were out of earshot of Sunny and the others.

"There is something amazing within Sunny. Something I haven't sensed in over 10,000 years Luna. A powerful type of magic, that didn't come from Twilight," Discord whispered, beginning to show worry on his face.

"What do you mean?" Luna asked.

Discord leaned in close and whispered in her ear.

"I think she's the one Luna. The one you and Celestia prophesized would come in the new millennium."

Luna stopped trotting and furrowed her brows.

"You don't mean..."

"I'm afraid so.. and the entire thing, with you being reformed in SECONDS. By a single act of kindness, with no elements!" Discord looked Luna directly in the face. "There's no doubt Luna, she is the one. The Elemental Queen."

"B-but that prophecy is a myth Discord.." Luna whispered, starting to trot again. "Ponylore said only to have existed in Pre-Equestrian times. How can you be so sure?"

Discord looked toward the front at Sunny who was busy talking to Izzy.

"Remember the ancient texts. 'Thou showest thyself only when the millennium is new, and thine year is started with a bang by a pony hailing from eastern seas. Thouest mane shall shine brilliantly of ruby purple and thine coat shall glimmer of a peaches hew.'" Discord recited.

Luna took a moment to process all of this and looked at Discord.

"So what do we do? Twilights gone Discord, trapped in Limbo most likely. How are we supposed to guide her?" She asked.

"Leave it to me," said Discord, "I did it with Twilight, I can do it with Sunny but I will need your help from time to time until we find a way to bring back Twilight and the others."

"And you shall have it, old friend," Luna said, smiling softly.

"Hey! Keep your flanks in gear back there! We don't want to get split up!" Called Hitch from the front.

"Cominggg!" Called Discord, poofing to the front beginning his usual shenanigans to keep everypony entertained.

~~~~~~~

"You're sure it's secure?" Said a deep voice.

The Pegasus in royal armor standing before the cloaked figure sitting upon the throne nodded quickly.

"Y-yes Lord Gust, all forces have secured Bridlewood, they didn't even put up a fight."

The white stallion sitting in the throne that once belonged to the Queen of Zephyr Heights smiled.

"Excellent, notify me when our troops have taken Maretime Bay, they seem to be putting up more of a fight. Then again, I didn't expect Sprout to turn against me so quickly."

The guard nodded, "Yes Lord Gust." He turned to leave but was stopped by a red magical aura.

"Oh, and one more thing. I may be evil and hateful, but there is to be no bloodshed. Use nonlethal tactics only. If a single pony is killed its your flank Captain."

The guard nodded once more and saluted before taking flight into the air and out of the nearest window.

~~~~~~~

"Come on everypony, Maretime Bay is just over this-" Sunny was cut short by the sound of explosions and yelling. "What the hay?" The earth pony galloped over the hill and gasped at the scene before her. The rest of the group joined and all stopped short, too shocked to say anything. Pillars of smoke rose from the small coastal town, fires raged in some businesses and battlements made out of metal and wood surrounded the towns borders. Ponies and all black winged creatures that resembled bat ponies were engaged in hoof to hoof combat while air raid sirens went off. It was a full scale invasion. Overhead, the roar of jet engines could be heard as canisters of tear gas were dropped on the small town, creating clouds of smoke as ponies fought.

"What the fuck is going on!?" Zipp yelled over the roaring of the planes. Sunnys ears folded down and she began galloping full speed toward Maretime Bay.

"Sunny wait!!" Hitch yelled, following her. The rest of the gang followed as they rushed toward town. Luna and Discord stood on the hill, watching the battle.

"What is this Discord?" Luna asked, looking up at him.

"Don't look at me, in all honesty I had nothing to do with this I swear!" He said, looking just as panicked as Luna was.

"Sunny!! Stop!" Izzy yelled, panting as she followed her friend into town and past battling ponies.

"Sprout!!" She called out, "Sprout!!!! Where are you!?" She was more worried about Sprout than anything else at the moment. Sure he destroyed her house out of fear but he was her friend. And she WOULDNT let anything happen to him.

"INCOMING!!!" Screamed an earth pony dressed in a camouflage uniform as a high pitched whistling was heard overhead. Sunny looked up in time to see a falling canister of tear gas heading straight for her.

"Oh no.." She said quietly. But before she was able to say anything else, a red blur tackled her and made them fall through a shop window as the canister exploded in the street. Coughing, Sunny sat up to look at her savior.

"Sprout??" She said, trotting over to him and helping him up. "You saved me."

Sprout stood up and coughed, dusting himself off. He was wearing some sort of fancy military uniform Sunny had never seen before. However it had the same markings as the ponies in black who were fighting the townsfolk.

"Yeah, and we don't have long. We have to get to the front line and push them out of Maretime Bay!" He yelled over the sounds of the raging battle.

"Sprout!!" Sunny shouted, "Why are you dressed like the ponies attacking Maretime Bay!?"

The red earth pony paused for a second, panting as he stared at Sunny, beads of sweat dripping down his face.

"Sunny... it's a long-"

"Sunny!! There you are!" Hitch yelled, rushing into the shop and looking at the pair of them. He was followed closely by Zipp, Pipp, and Izzy, who were all looking just as scared as Hitch was. "We need to activate the towns defenses! The splatapults will help drive their planes and ground forces back!"

Sunny looked at the others, Pipp was tapping away on her screen hoping to get ahold of their mother, Izzy was looking around timidly at the battle, and Zipp was standing next to Pipp, wings flared and ready to use in an attack.

"Alright, you three stay here, Hitch and I are going to drive back whoever these ponies are." Sunny said, jumping out of the destroyed storefront and heading in the direction of the main battle.

As they reached the main intersection at the factory, a loud explosion was heard and looking up, Sunny saw a plane falling from the sky as ponies jumped from it with parachutes. Needless to say, this was extremely overwhelming for her to handle. Sunny closed her eyes and lay down, covering her ears as tears ran down her cheeks. Hitch, who had just noticed Sunny on the ground, quickly rushed to her side.

"Sunny are you ok-"

"EVERYPONY STOP!!!!!!!" She screamed, her voice becoming louder than Hitch had ever heard. The ponies nearest to them covered their ears in pain at the sheer volume of Sunny's voice, and everyone who had been fighting stopped mid-swing, looking at the earth pony. Sunny's alicorn wings formed on her back and her horn sprouted from her head. Standing up, she spread her wings and slammed her hooves into the ground, eyes shining completely white. Discord who was still standing on the hill watching all of this unfold with Luna, smiled.

"The royal Canterlot voice. What an effective method for stopping ponies in their tracks," he said, smiling impressively.

"Discord don't you think we should go down there and calm her down?" Luna asked, looking at the enraged Sunny.

"Nope. She needs to understand her power this way. Guidance will come after she's gotten rid of the baddies in town."

"HOW DARE YOU!!!" She yelled at the ponies in black. "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK OUR PEACEFUL TOWN!!!" Sunny's body began to glow with swirls of magic as she floated into the air.

"Discord I really think we should-"

"No, not yet."

Sunny turned to the ponies in black who looked absolutely petrified, and flew towards them, causing them to scream and run for the hills.

"LEAVE!! OR I WILL MAKE YOU LEAVE!!" She commanded, her glow shining brighter and brighter.

"Discordddddd."

"Wait for it Luna."

The ponies who didn't run away and were not as afraid, charged at her, stun guns at the ready. Sunny growled in a very unlady-like way and charged her horn, forming a ball of magical energy on the tip.

"Discord!!" Luna shouted.

"Luna watch!"

Sunny yelled and fired a huge volley of magical energy at the charging ponies, sending them flying backwards into the air and out of town. The townsponys watched in awe as Sunny floated down and panted, her eyes returning to normal and her wings and horn disappearing. Hitch rushed to her side once more as she collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Sunny!" He yelled. Zipp who had decided to back her earth pony friend up, saw the entire thing and flew to Hitch, landing beside him.

"Hitch Hitch, relax man. She's okay, just unconscious. Let's get her to the lighthouse."

Hitch nodded and stood up, setting his marefriend on his back and slowly trotting away with Zipp.

Luna looked at Discord and frowned.

"How did you know she wasn't going to kill them?" She asked. Discord turned to her and smiled.

"Because she's the Elemental Queen."
