A different legion of doom

"And now for your complete equalization! Won't that be FUN?"

"Patience Starlight! Before we do whatever we want with them, we need to show the ponies of Equestria that we have defeated their heroes first! And besides, we should have fun with our guests....."

"No! We need to hunt down Twilight Sparkle! As long as she's free she plots our downfall!"

"Please! Is the great and powerful Trixie that scared of one little pony?"

"Rest assured, Twilight won't be plotting our downfall because her spirit has been crushed by friendship failing her and Equestria! And with her friends subdued with shards of the changeling throne, thanks Thorax, she will have no pony else to help her remove our powers! Thanks to Grogar's bell! Isn't that right? 'GROGAR'."

Discord yanked Chrysalis's chain, as she fell to the ground weakened, emotionally and physically.

However, as the other three were distracted, Trixie tried to absorb more magic from the bell.

"What do you think you're doing?! Thorax stated that no one other then himself and Discord knows how to shapeshift!"

"Yes, but there's Alicorn princess magic in there now too. I could be so much more great and powerful if I just-"

"What do you mean, YOU, could be?"

"Uh, duh. I'm the best one here!"

The four continued to argue again, as the prisoners stared at each other with dread....

"We gotta find Twilight, she's probably already figured out some way to defeat those monsters."

"Any idea how we get out of here to do that?"

Spike tried to move through the changeling goop.

"Too sticky, there's no way anypony could get through this."

"I'm so sorry. It all made sense in my head, Twilight defeats her worst foes and is filled with confidence. I truly did have the best intentions, I swear I'll make it up to you."

"That's gonna have to be a pretty epic make up."

"Stay AWAY from the bell! If you want to use changeling magic, you would have to learn for yourself through trial and error, which takes TIME." Discord stated to the arrogant and prideful Trixie.

"I could always, tell you how..... It would allow you to turn into whatever monster your hearts desire...... But you'd...... have to ask nicely, and spare my friends."

"No Chrysalis! This isn't the way to help!"

"Chryssie, could you please teach Trixie how to-"

"Don't listen to mother! Listen to me! She is the enemy!"

"Besides, she's obviously lying. She won't tell us."

"I most certainly won't tell you, because Twilight told me how you created a timeline that could have caused me to drive my species to EXTINCTION! YOU DELUDED CRETIN."

"This 'CRETIN' can hurt you in 1,000 ways, and only with her bare hooves! Choose your next words carefully......"

"You're right. Cretin is too polite, how about pathetic unicorn who spreads equality to compensate for the fact that deep down she's afraid she'll never reunite with her best friend, Sunburst?"

Starlight fired a blast at Chrysalis, however she grabbed a rock with her bare hooves which reflected it off it and bounced through the chamber before ultimately dispersing.

"HAH HA! You missed!"

"Did she though?"

Sombra cut a hole in his cell as he levitated himself not to fall.

"GET HIM!"

They blasted their magic at him, but he teleported from every blast.

As the villains were distracted, he teleported near the mane six's cage.

"Get Twilight!"

"No, she's always needed YOU."

Sombra destroyed the crystal on top of the mane six, the princesses and the pillar's cages, as they were freed from their prison.

However, Sombra was blasted from behind, as the villains caught up to him.

The princesses then flew down in front of him.

"Get Twilight! We may not have our magic, but we aren't completely helpless! We'll hold them off as long as we can!"

The princesses, the pillars, and Sombra then went to battle with the villains as the others watched.

"Woah, that..... was a pretty epic make up...."

"Just save Equestria!"

Chrysalis then began picking up rocks and throwing them at the legion......

Later........

"Every prisoner is safe in their cells, now we can hunt down the rest of the...... Wendigos?"

"Trixie's not hunting anypony do-do-do-do-down in this weather! Can't we just use our power to get rid of them?"

"I don't think we should, this could work out quite well for me."

"You mean US."

"The Wendigos are powered by disharmony amongst ponies, meaning that they will only bring more chaos to the ponies. Once Equestria is but a frozen wasteland, I will have grown more powerful then I could ever be! Then I will use my power to destroy the Wendigos! Leaving me as their chaotic supreme overlord!"

The other three stared at Discord in doubt......

"And of course you three would have your share of rule in your lands, heh heh....."

"Regardless, the Wendigos are ancient magic! It would be unwise to leave them unchecked, best we deal with them now."

"Pfft."

"Well we should probably deal with Twilight and her friends before anything else."

"I thought you said you were too cold to hunt anypony down."

"We don't have to! They're right there!"

Trixie pointed at the ponies beneath the castle.

"You think they know we're here?"

A portal opened up and the four stepped out prepared for battle.

"I think they have an idea....."

"That bell has Chrysalis, Celestia, and Luna's magic inside, if they use it against us-"

"Only Discord and Thorax know how to shapeshift."

"You just can't accept that you were beaten before you realized there was even a fight, can you?"

"You can't beat us if we never give up! As long as I have my friends beside me, I'll put my faith in-"

"Ugh! Let's just get this over with!"

Trixie fired a blast at the ponies plus dragon, before they were teleported away and hid in the bushes as the villains looked for them.

"We need to get that bell and get Chrysalis and the princesses their magic back. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, you're with me."

"Sweet! I'll grab that bell in ten second-!"

"No. We're the distraction, they're gonna get the bell."

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

"There!"

Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight Sparkle rushed towards the villains, distracting them.

They begun zapping at them trying to stun them but they won't stay still.

"Step right up evil fillies and gentlevillains! Try your luck!"

Thorax tried blasting her, but she kept dodging.

"Missed me!"

ZAP!

"Close! But no cherrychimichanga!"

ZAP!

"Heh heh, thanks for playing!"

Thorax zapped Pinkie's plushie into oblivion, as she quickly fled.

"Do they have to be sooooooo ANNOYING?!"

"Not annoying! DISTRACTING!"

Thorax pointed at Rarity, Applejack, Spike, and Fluttershy trying to take the bell.

They blasted a shot near the ponies plus dragon, causing them to fall back.

They tried taking the bell, but Rarity grasped it with her magic.

They fought over it in a magic tug of war, until Twilight and Applejack joined as well.

They fought with all their might over the bell, until Twilight felt something tap on her shoulder, she turned around and a boxing glove struck her unconscious, as Discord raised back his hand to his body.

The other ponies gasped as they turned to their friend as the villains took the bell and pushed the ponies over to her.

"Looks like 'the magic of friendship' has FAILED you! Won't matter for long now that your friendship will be torn apart." Discord stated, as he prepared to Discord them all.

"No matter what happens, it will still live on." Twilight stated, as she embraced her friends desperately.

Discord merely scoffed before firing the spell at them.

....................................

"What happened? Can I open my eyes?"

"Ya sure can!"

They looked and saw a shield protecting them from Discord's magic.

"Way to go Twilight!"

"It's not me."

They turned around, and saw an army of everycreature charging at the legion with everything they got.

The Pegasi swooped in and spun around the villains, confusing them.

Then the changelings charged and turned into duplicates of the mane seven, distracting them as the mane seven's shield lifted off the ground.

"Don't let them escape!"

"Which ones?!"

The yaks stomped their hooves, causing the villains to fall backwards.

The mane seven landed on the hill everycreature was on.

"The changelings won't fool them forever, and I don't know how long the unicorns shield will hold!" Pharynx told the heroes.

"I don't understand...... How are you all here?"

"That's kinda our fault........"

"You remember those long boring lectures you gave about friendship at school?"

One flashback montage later......

"Well how about that? It's just like you said the day we opened that school."

"The more creatures who know about friendship, the safer we'll be."

"We TOLD you you had everything figured out!"

However, a changeling hit the shield.

Twilight turned around, and more flyers kept hitting the shield.

Eventually, the unicorns couldn't hold it any more and the shield collapsed.

The villains knocked away the army with a punch to the ground, as they stared at the army with angry scowls.

They charged towards the group.

However, Twilight fired a warning shot near them.

"ENOUGH! Because of you I almost lost my way! But everycreature here has reminded me of the true power of friendship! There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also be those who find the light! The pillars knew this, that's why they created the elements of harmony."

As Twilight continued her speech, the princesses, the pillars, Sombra, and Chrysalis were teleported from the prison to the mountain where everyone was standing against the legion.

"The elements showed me and my friends how strong our friendship could be, together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria. But there will always be more work to do, which is why we teach others about the magic of friendship, others who will continue our work after we are gone."

As Twilight continued, the pillars, the young six, and her friends were all lifted by the magic of friendship.

"Now I truly understand, the elements were just symbols! The real magic has always been right here, and the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be...... TOGETHER."

The pillars, the young six, and the mane six then all launched rainbows at Twilight, who unleashed one big rainbow that banished the Wendigos.

"Not again......."

The rainbow then blasted the villains, ridding them of their stolen magic and stripping them of their power as they fell to the ground weakened.

Trixie fell to the ground, and was horrified to see that her wings were gone.

Starlight groaned in disappointment at this turn of events.

Thorax gasped in horror, as he was back to being a mere drone.

And Discord was disappointed that his third eye was gone.

Twilight and the others landed back to the ground, as Thorax growled with fury.

"YOU THINK FRIENDSHIP WILL SAVE YOU?! WE WILL ALWAYS RETURN!!! NOTHING WILL EVER STO-"

They got crushed by a giant cupcake, as it rained chocolate milk.....

"Chocolate rain?......"

Pinkie approached Twilight with the bell in hoof.

"Pinkie! You took Discord's magic from the bell?! How do you feel?"

"Hmm, tingly, itchy, also like......."

She begun to grow massive, as she stomped the ground.

"I COULD TURN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE INTO FROSTING!!!"

"Yeah.... Let me get that....."

Chrysalis flew up and took the bell and absorbed the chaos magic in the bell, as Pinkie reverted back to her normal self. Well, as normal as she can be.....

"Waiter, there's some chaos in my soup......"

Chrysalis then activated the bell, and got her magic back.

She then proceeded to give Celestia, Luna, Sombra, and the pillars their magic back as well.

The villains moved out from under the cupcake.

"There isn't a punishment WORTHY of all you've done!"

"I don't think that's necessary your majesty. In case you've forgotten, I was the one who made their villainy possible in the first place."

"But Chrysalis, they are active fiends! Just because you encouraged them doesn't mean they won't stop looking for trouble in the future!"

"But can't we give them a chance? I never thought it would be possible that someone like me could be taught to share love over taking it..... I only ask that we do the same for these four..... Especially my little Thorax."

"I hate you mom."

The princesses pondered over it.....

"Very well.... They will be each assigned a different pony to reform them, as for Chrysalis, her punishment will be decided by her people." Celestia declared, as Chrysalis gave a sigh of acknowledgement.

Thorax could only groan in anger, as the other three merely looked at each other and shrugged.

"Hey, at least it's better then being turned to stone....." Discord commented.....

Everycreature atop the mountain cheered in celebration for their victory.

"When I sent you to Ponyville, I had high hopes. When you became princess of friendship, I knew I made the right decision. But nothing could prepare me for how proud I am right now, Equestria is definitely in the right hooves. You are ready." Celestia declared, as she and Luna bowed for the princess of friendship.

Chrysalis gave a bow as well.

"You know what? I think I am."

The end.
