In The Beginning Part 2

After telling the Black Knight about what had happened to the girls, White Knight and Twilight Sparkle immediately stormed out the palace, White Knight went to see if the dragon prince was still stand outside, right on the spot where White told the prince to stay put at. He looked around to see if the prince was even still around the area, but he couldn't find him anywhere, White Knight and Twilight were starting to get worried if something might have happened when they were looking for the Black Knight, even Twilight was wondering that if Black Knight might be responsible for Spi- er well, the dragon prince's disappearance. And as White Knight try to shout out to the prince, the prince had responded to the White Knight's shout out. Then White Knight looks around to see where he was; left, right, in front of him, behind him. Twilight had looked up to see if he was up in the stars, and of course... there he was, the prince managed to grab the star that he so wanted to have for his little collection. Then when White Knight saw up to see the prince right up to the stars, grabbing hold of the one star light he wanted, White had a felt a sense of relief to the fact that he was okay.

"Hey Prince, what are you doing up there?" Asked the White Knight.

"What does it look like, I'm trying to grab hold of this star. It would look so beautiful for my collection. So how did go with Black Knight?" Replied the prince as he continued to hold on the star.

"Well, let go of that star and hop on my back. We have two Alicorn princesses to save." And right when he said that, he looked at Twilight; he gave her a smile and blinked his right eye at her to show that she should have trust in his efforts for the rescue. Then there was the prince who was still grabbing hold of the star that he wanted so much, and even though the prince didn't want to let go of the star, he needed to if he's going to help White Knight with the search for Celestia and Luna. "I'll be back for you star, just you wait." After that, Spike lets go of the star and lands on the White Knight's back so that they can get ready to save the girls. So now White Knight, the dragon prince and Twilight Sparkle leave the palace to find Celestia and Luna, but before they do that, White Knight suggests that he should gather up a search party to help out with the search. And of course, the search party that White Knight tends to gather up are his old friends, the same ponies that he had met up with 3 years ago, asked about his offer and all refused because they thought that the White Knight was crazy for wanting to help him become the keepers of the Elements of Harmony.

And even though they have refused him in the past, they have to come around to help White Knight this time because of the fact that they need to assist him in finding Celestia and Luna, so the first one to go to for assisting White Knight in the search; is Wintergreen the Wise. Flying throughout the skies, with the dragon prince on his back, White Knight was in deep focus about something... something that he can't really shake off because he can't or he doesn't want to. His eyes were dead on straight, he was breathing slowly, and he was going through some flashbacks of his times with the girls. the flashbacks start off with him running around and playing with young Celestia, then it was him, little Celestia and baby Luna out in the fields where they usually hang out, the two were playing fun activities while baby Luna watched them play. And then White Knight, Celestia and Luna were all running and flying through the fields, having a good time and enjoying the sunlight. After going through his previous memories, he thought to himself saying what great times that he had, spending with them was a glorious moment for him and then he simply gave out a smile and was started to cry out tears of joy.

"Hey, uh... White Knight? Are you all right?" said the prince in a tone of confusion as he saw the White Knight tear up.

"It's nothing." replied the White Knight. "I was just going through some good old memories, that's all." Then, White Knight just resumed flying through the skies, hoping to find them and bring about peace to the world from it's current chaotic state. And as they were flying, the first place that they head out to, is Haven forest; Wintergreen's home.

"We should be able to head on over to Haven Forest, that's where Wintergreen the Wise is most likely to be at, seeing that he never goes anywhere."

Meanwhile, on top of the highest mountains just right over to the northern part of the world, Discord is watching the world crumble through the random chaos that he had created when he first arrived to the world, clouds moving wildly on their own, animals defying gravity, ponies running around like wild animals, even a few villages are upside down and sideways. Discord was having the time of his life, he wishes that days like these would never end... but of course with his powers, it will never end as long as he's still around causing it. And while he was enjoying himself, Celestia and Luna were both thinking on how they intend to get out of this without letting Discord about them escaping, while they think of an escape plan, Celestia prays that the White Knight will rescue them. And as she prays that he will arrive in time to stop Discord and save them, Celestia and Luna walk backwards just to keep an eye on Discord, hoping that he doesn't turn around and notice that they're escaping, trying to distance themselves from Discord so that they can make a break for it, and as they get further away from him, Discord starts to notice that they were trying to run away. In fact, he had already noticed that they were trying to flee from the moment they started walking backwards...

"You know, you could use your magic to escape, but I just remembered you both don't have horns. Well, there's the fact you could fly away, but how could I forget... you don't have wings either."

What's worse is that the girls were just noticing that they have no wings and horns, and how Discord knew that Celestia and Luna were ready to make a break for it, is that he had a third eye keeping an eye on them. A literal eye floating on top of the girls, watching their every step, reading their lips, their body movement... you name it and the eye was watching. Then Discord introduces Celestia and Luna to his third eye, when they saw it, they tried moving around to see if the eye would follow them around, which of course it did... and therefore they couldn't leave the mountains even if they wanted to. And without their wings and horns gone, they really don't have any other choice in the matter.

"Tia, what's going to happen to us?" said Luna in a frightened tone, you couldn't imagine or wouldn't want to imagine how Luna was feeling at the moment, she was deeply scared, but she didn't want to show that she was scared in front of her older sister and their enemy. She kept her brave face going even though she was incredibly nervous, and then Celestia replied to her question by telling her; "Don't worry, Lulu. Everything is going to be fine, I promise that nothing is going to lay a hand, claw or hoof on you. Count on it." Right when she said that, she winked at Luna and pulled out a smile to comfort her and assure that everything is going to be all right. Even though they have a right to be afraid at the moment, it still doesn't mean that they're going to give in or give up that easily. So Celestia looks directly at Discord with a thousand yard stare, her eyes gleaming at the beast, she gets into battle position so she can protect herself and her little sister.

"You may have our horns and wings, but you haven't taken away our fighting spirit. You should think twice about intimidating two young mares like us, we don't scare easily and we are not to be taken lightly." said Celestia angrily, and with that being said, she knows better than to try to run from fear, so she and Luna decide to face fear in the face by taking on Discord. After all, it's something that they learned from White Knight, "only facing your fears will make you truly brave." the wise words of the White Knight had reached into their heads as they were ready to fight Discord, then Discord starts to laugh uncontrollably at the fact that the young mares are about to engage in battle with the draconequus and tells them that they should know better than to face him and also tells them to NOT take on Discord because it would be pointless.

But that didn't seem to matter at all though, They're still not going to run away, they're not going to be intimidated by Discord and for that, they ready themselves for this fight, and as for Discord... ...he wasn't sure that if he wanted to fight them or just continue laughing at them. "Oh, this is starting to become quite a pain. I never thought that I have to fight my captives, can you do that? Then again, I wouldn't know... I've never held anyone captive before. Eh, oh well. Okay my little ponies, if you think that you have a fighting chance against me, then let's have at it!"

Celestia was this close to charging at Discord and with her young sister Luna right beside her, Discord was even ready for them to come to him as he was glancing at them and smiling widely. And as they were about to fight, there were some loud thunderclaps and rumbling from a distance. Then the rumbling sounds and thunderclaps were getting closer to them, even dark purple were coming towards their direction, Discord was starting to get a little worried because he thinks that the White Knight had already arrived to save Celestia and Luna. Even the girls were nervous to see what the clouds, the thunderclaps and all the rumbling was about.

Then the lightning in the clouds started to appear, the lightning struck down to the mountain grounds, it was so bright to see the lightning so close, the girls and Discord covered their eyes when the lightning was still striking down, Celestia and Luna at first thought that lightning would somehow hit them when it came down... but it didn't. After all, they weren't even that close to it, they were about 10 paces away from it, and as it finally stopped, they all looked at the direction of where it was strucked. And what they see at the moment, even Celestia and Luna couldn't believe it... but it would seem that, their father; the Black Knight had arrived to save them. But that's just the one part of why he arrived, then there was Discord; who's state of nervousness had turned to quick relief so quickly when he saw that it was only the Black Knight that had arrived. "Oh, thank goodness. It's only you Black Knight, what an unexpected surprise."

Black Knight as walking towards Discord and the girls slowly, while he was walking, he starts looking around just to see if there was any signs of a battle that took place, then he starts looking at the girls to see if there were any signs of injuries on them, as he was looking at them, the girls were starting to feel even more nervous and more shaken up when the saw their father rather than relieved considering that he had arrived to save them. The angry look on his face shows that he was disappointed at them, and also notices that their wings and horns are gone. Then he turns around facing Discord with the same angry look, he was walking towards Discord slowly and Discord starts telling him that at first, he had mistaken Black Knight for the White Knight and then thinking to himself out loud; "But then again, he couldn't have arrived so quickly, I haven't even given him clues to where I was hiding... yet.

"After what's going to happen to you, draconequus... you're going to wish... ...I was the White Knight."

"Eh, heh heh heh. What do you mean by that?" Discord questioned nervously. and as he said that, he was starting to float back slowly and focused on the Black Knight and his hooves to see if he makes any sudden movements.

And as Black Knight started to walk towards Discord, he looks at him with a vindictive look on his face, he starts questioning Discord about the girls' little "issues" in a darkly tone; "I happen to notice that they are without horns and wings, why's that?"

"As you can clearly see, I was only trying to defend myself from those two. They were trying to put a fight with me, and I just took away their wings and horns... ...for insurance reasons. ha ha ha." Nervous enough as it is, it was surprising that he was able to come up with an answer for the Black Knight's question in such short notice. Other than that, he was still floating back while the Black Knight still walks towards him, and right after he had looked away for one second and looked back, Discord saw that the Black Knight had disappeared from the moment he looked back at the direction Black Knight was standing. Then, as he slowly turned around, the Black Knight was already behind him and then, he grabs Discord and pushes him against the wall with brute force. Then Black Knight starts to warn Discord about what would happen if Celestia and Luna get involved in the mess Discord made in a low, but menacing tone;

"Now listen to me, I made you what you are for two reasons; one, is to cause chaos in this world to back up White Knight's mistake of bringing the three pony tribes together. Two, is to take care of the White Knight. If these two girls get involved in any way, like right now for instance... ...I will change you back and have you trapped in that cage of yours forever more. Are we clear?" And with that being said, Discord gave a quick and shaky nod, said "transparently" in a frightened tone and was released by Black Knight's grasp. "Now, give them back their wings and horns back." Said the Black Knight.

Afterwards, Discord snaps his fingers and returns Celestia and Luna their wings and horns back, then Black Knight tells them to go back to the palace and wait for his return, and so Celestia and Luna flew upward to the skies and they start worry about what's going to happen to them next. "Tia, father sure seems awfully mad at us... what do you think he'll do to us? Luna asked nervously.

"Hopefully nothing really terrible, Lulu. I mean, he did save us from that monster, I can assume we are awaited a lecture from him when he gets home." Replied Celestia in a saddening tone. And while she and Luna were flying back to the Palace, she started looking down on the Earth to see the mess that Discord made. She was so devastated to see Earth fall into chaos, she even hopes that the White Knight will do whatever he can to stop it and stop Discord. And while they were headed home, Celestia was still thinking about the White knight's promise, the promise he made with her and Luna about how all three of them were going to stay together forever, and that He will never leave their sight and that he will never forget them. Even though she does believe him, she's still not sure if White Knight can keep a promise that big...

Meanwhile, White Knight, the dragon prince and Twilight Sparkle had just arrived to Haven forest to find Wintergreen the Wise, if White Knight is going to search Celestia and Luna and take on Discord in the premises, he'll need the help of his trusted friends to handle such a task and plus White Knight will use the opportunity to use the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord. But before he could go into the forest, he needs to have a talk with Twilight first. So he asks the prince to stay put and that he needs a moment to himself for just a minute, then he quietly asks Twilight to come with him so that they can talk. Then Twilight proceeded to follow White Knight so she can figure out what he wants to talk about, as they were far away from the prince, she stays put and hear what the White Knight has to say.

"Okay, since it's no use getting you to leave this dream world, I suppose you could stick around and see what happens. But let me ask you something... do you notice anything unusual in this picture?"

After hearing the question, Twilight was little confused at what he said, then she looks around to see what was missing, then White Knight says to her that there's nothing missing here and that she should think about what White Knight said. So as she was thinking, pacing back and forth to figure out what the White Knight meant, she scratched her head thought aloud; "I don't understand, I mean when I first came here, everything was exactly the way it is. I mean, what could be different?"

"When you first arrive here, you immediately believed that this part of the dream is Celestia's dream just because you were following young Celestia and Luna right?"

"Right, what's your point?"

"Well, do you see them here at all? I think not, remember, they were captured by Discord and if they were captured by him, you'd be with them in captivity instead of being here with me searching for them. and Why's that exactly?"

And then, Twilight closed her eyes to resume thinking, she was pacing back and forth again trying to figure out the one of many probable reasons on why she's with White Knight and not with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, afterwards, the answer had popped into her head and Twilight Sparkle had finally came to the conclusion that she's in the White Knight's dream world. "The reason why I'm not with Princess Celestia is because I'm in your dreams."

"Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. From the moment you came here, when I saw you, I had transferred you from Celestia's dreams into my dreams so I can keep an eye on you. You, Twilight Sparkle are a foreign entity, You have no affiliation of our past, therefore you don't belong here. But seeing that you don't want to leave, I guess you can stay and take a look at what happens next."

"But wait a minute... back at the palace, you said that we were in Celestia's dream and that you are the only one who can see me, and you also told me to leave because something bad will happen if I don't. Were you lying about that?"

"I did say that, but I only told you that because you don't need to be here, you have no business here. And plus, you can get in trouble for snooping around in somepony's dreams, that's why I transferred you from Celestia's to mine so that you won't get caught by her. Because if she found out if you were here, you would be in humongous trouble."

And with that being said, it's no wonder why Twilight couldn't be seen by Celestia, why she didn't get caught, well actually she did get caught... by the White Knight. But he wasn't mad, in fact he gave Twilight the option to leave so many times but the answer remained the same. So now, he wants her to stay and continue observing what's going to happen next, that already happened in the past. After their little conversation, Twilight Sparkle and White Knight head back to the edge of Haven forest to meet up with the dragon prince, and there he was sitting on a rock, waiting for the White Knight to show up.

"Oh, that was quick. So you ready to head on in mister White Knight?" said the dragon prince in a very ecstatic tone.

"You betcha I'm ready, are you ready?" Replied the White Knight.

Afterwards, the dragon prince jumped up and landed on his feet to the ground stating that he was ready to go in. So now, Twilight Sparkle, White Knight and the dragon prince all went into the forest to find good ol' Wintergreen and ask him if he can join White Knight in search for Celestia and Luna.
