In The Beginning Part 2
Chapter 9: Elements of Harmony, Unite!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhite Knight, Solara, Madam Krystal and Blue Flash were just headed to south to find Discord and save Celestia and Luna, they thought they were getting close to their destination, but what they don't know is that they are way off. Meaning, they won't be able to find Discord in the south, because he's nowhere to be found there. However, White Knight is so determined to get to the south that nothing could ever distract him, after all, his only mission is to rescue girls... nothing more. And as the others were following him, they begin to feel a bit unsure about Discord being in the south. Seeing that there isn't a lot of chaotic shenanigans anywhere near the south region, White Knight assumes that this part of the region is less chaotic because Discord knows it's the best hiding spot, hoping that White Knight wouldn't be able to find him.
However, the gang start to feel that maybe... they're just going to a dead end and they wanted to tell White Knight but... now wasn't the time for White Knight to be wrong. Even Twilight senses that the gang weren't sure about the White Knight's sense of direction, as the three try to get one of them to tell White Knight that they're headed into a dead end, they keep refusing to do so because they don't want to make him mad.
"Blue Flash my dear, you need to tell White Knight that where he's going is the wrong way." said Madam Krystal quietly to where White couldn't hear her.
"Are you insane, I'm not going to do that. if anyone wants to correct White's mistake, YOU should be the one to tell him" replied Blue Flash as quietly as he could go.
"I don't know if I should, he seems so concentrated on this little search, any interruptions would just fuel his rage." Krystal said nervously.
"Well, if we get there and if we don't find who were looking for, he's going to even more mad when he finds out that he was wrong about where Discord was hiding." Said Blue Flash with an angry look on his face, staring at Krystal hoping that she would have to be the one to tell White.
And then Solara interrupts their little back and forth conversation; "I can't believe what I'm hearing, you guys are acting like children. Is it really that difficult to tell the Truth?"
"You know I can hear just fine, thank you very much." Said the irritated White Knight.
After that, they all had stopped; Blue Flash stopped flying, Madam Krystal placed her levitating crystal platform to a gentle stop with Solara on board and White Knight turned around and faced his team with a upsetting look on his face. Blue Flash, Solara and Madam Krystal all looked nervous when White Knight had overheard their conversations, they even looked at each other hoping that one of them would come clean. So Solara decided to play grown up, and tell White Knight that they have been going to a dead end and that they didn't want to him because they all thought he would get mad.
"Is this true?" Said the calm-toned, level-headed White Knight.
Then they all nodded their heads and said yes simultaneously. And then after they had said yes, they were about to prepare themselves for the White Knight's rant. And even though they were ready to take the heat, especially with the White Knight's furious look on his face, he got angrier, and angrier and then... ...he exploded. But strangely though, he didn't explode out of rage, he exploded out of laughter. Right when he burst into laughter, the gang had their eyes shut and teeth clenched, but when they heard the White Knight laugh out loud, they opened their eyes and their mouths in confusion. After all, they were expecting him to yell but he didn't do so, in fact, he was still chuckling at the fact that he was wrong and the gang started to laugh with him.
"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA! Oh my goodness, I made an error... ...ahh, how wonderful. Then again, we all do make mistakes through time to time, no?" Said the White Knight.
"So, wait a minute... you're not mad? Not even one bit?" Said Blue Flash, still in total confusion. Understandable, because whenever a major mistake has been made, Nopony could just laugh it off. But then again, this is the White Knight we're talking about.
"Of course not, I mean I am still worried about what Discord is doing with the girls at this moment. But other than that, I'm fine. I'm not angry, I have no need to be." Replied the White Knight.
Afterwards, things started to settle down, everypony was happy and the dragon prince had just gotten up from his nap. He felt like he was very rested, then he started yawning and he also seemed to notice the laughter that was going on right when he woke up.
"Hey, guys... what's so funny?" Said a young and rested dragon prince.
"Oh, it's nothing really. We were just having a laugh." Replied the White Knight.
As the whole gang stopped laughing, a bright purple light had just appeared from nowhere, the light was bright to where White and the gang had to cover their eyes. Then, they start to hear screaming from a distance, White Knight tells them that if they hear the screaming, which of course they all did, and the screaming got closer and closer. They were starting to realize that those screams sound very familiar and right after that, Merlon and Wintergreen appeared from the light, still screaming and holding on to one another. And then, White Knight's began to widen when he notices that they were headed straight for him, and right then and there... they tackled the White Knight on the spot.
They had fallen into the ground and made a hard landing as they fell, Merlon, Wintergreen and White were mashed up together and were seeing stars. After that, the shook their heads and separated themselves from one another, Wintergreen apologized to White Knight for that surprise entrance, Merlon then tried blaming Wintergreen for that tackle just because he was afraid of teleportation and then after that, Merlon and Wintergreen started to argue back and forth about teleportation and the dangers of it.
"As I told you before, Merlon... teleportation is way to dangerous! That's why I would never condone teleporting, I mean I feel like a part of me has been left behind!" Cried out a very scared and angry Wintergreen.
"The only that has been left behind, grandpa green... was your valor and dignity. In fact, I believe that you've lost both of those things before you and I had teleported to the south." Said Merlon in a mocking tone.
"ENOUGH!" Yelled out the White Knight. When he broke up the argument, he tells them that the whole gang still has a mission to do and that they have no time to goof off or argue. So, with that being said, the whole gang focus on the mission, White Knight asks Wintergreen and Merlon if they took care of their part, and of course... they said they did. Then Merlon tells them that his Fail-Safe spell only worked as a temporary solution, and then he tells White Knight that if they all want the chaos to stop growing and spreading, they have to go to the source which is the North. And that's where they all need to go, if the root of all chaos is in the north, then that's where Discord is most likely to be and where he's keeping Celestia and Luna captive. So now, the whole gang gather around, so that Merlon can perform the teleportation, although Wintergreen, still doesn't want to go through with this again. But of course, he didn't have much of a choice, he had to be okay with it if he wants to help his friends save the world. So they get in a circle, Merlon's horn begins to glow, White Knight looks at Twilight and conjures up a two doors for her to pass through. The red door will take her to the north where Discord's at, and the blue door will take her back home and will wake up in her bed the next day.
"I'm giving you one more chance, miss Twilight Sparkle. You can still go back home and forget this ever happened, or keep advancing so you can see what happens next. Remember, it's your call..." Said the White Knight.
After that, White Knight and the rest of his friends have been teleported to the north, leaving Twilight alone to decide whether she should pick the blue door that can take her home... or pick the red door that will take her to the battle between the six and Discord. "Well, I guess now would be a good time to go back home, I mean... I've seen enough of what I needed to see." After that, she tries to use her magic to open the blue door, but before she could open the door... Twilight Sparkle started to have second thoughts on whether she should leave or not. "NO! I've come this far to go back now, I need to see what happens next... will White Knight and his friends defeat Discord with the elements?!" And with that being said, she uses her magic to open the red door and she goes inside to see what happens next.
Meanwhile, in the north... up on the mountains where Discord is relaxing on his throne, watching the flying pigs, bunnies with deer legs and hooves running about, alligators in the air playing chess upside down, dancing buffalos, pretty much the usual random chaos he would create. "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Oh man, this is all too exciting! I mean, what more can I ask for? How often do you see alligators play chess upside down... while in the air?! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ah, I'm having way too much fun." Then he summons a gray cloud and a glass, then he puts the glass beneath the cloud so that it can pour water on the glass at full so that he might be able to drink it. Although, he drinks the glass up, as for the harden water, he turns it into a crystal with wings and starts flapping to the left. "Ha ha. What? The glass had more flavor than rain water." Said Discord while he was staring at the crystal flapping away.
Meanwhile, the red door appears in front of Discord, the door opened and Twilight Sparkle came out of it. She was just looking around at the random things that were flying around, running around and... crawling around. She was mostly looking around to see if White Knight and the gang had arrived yet, but apparently she was the first one to arrive to the mountains and then, she looks directly in front of her and there was Discord relaxing on his throne.
"Discord....." As she saw him, she got furious so quickly, just looking at him made Twilight want to take him on herself. After what he did to her and the others, trying to separate them, making them turn against each other and breaking up their friendship. With that being said, she had every right to be angry towards Discord, after all she almost gave up hope because of him; "What you did to me and my friends, trying to tear our friendship apart... trust me when I say this, you are about to receive what's coming to you." Even though she was waiting for the others to arrive, Twilight Sparkle still has Discord in her sights, she still wishes that she can at least fight him a little... after all it's imperative that she do so. But for right now, all she can do is wait for White and the gang to take care of the situation themselves.
"Oh geez, I know I should be having fun and all, but it's becoming a little... ...erm, what's the word... BORING."
Discord was still sitting around in his throne, only this time he's got a bored expression on his face, rolling his eyes, scoffing, flexing his fingers... oh yes, he was definitely bored. "Hmm, I wonder... I hope it's not too late to pay the White Knight a little chat. I mean, after all with him, I could have some real fun." And so, he gets up and out of his throne, starts stretching his muscles, and just as he was stretching, he starts to hear strange noises from a distance. The noise got louder and louder and it was starting to bug him, Twilight was also able to hear the noise as well, getting louder by the second. And then a bright purple light appeared from nowhere, right in front of Discord. "Oh, geez! What is that awful blinding light?! Oooh... so irritating." Said Discord while he was covering his face from the brightness of the light.
"Hey, draconequus... ...hope you didn't forget about me...." Said the White Knight.
When Discord heard the sound of White's voice, he couldn't help but to think that this was a dream. After all, he did made it clear that White Knight would never be able to find him and that he never gave any hints onto where White Knight could find Discord. However... Discord did gave one huge and clearly obvious hint on where Discord can be found, with the help of Merlon, White Knight had figured out where Discord was hiding. The bright light was starting to fade a bit, to where Discord can look directly forward.
"No... it can't be... I must be dreaming. I know that voice sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't want to believe it."
"Well, you better had best believe it, then. For I have found you, at last." Said White Knight.
Discord still didn't want to believe that he was found by White Knight, and as the brightness cleared, Discord was able to see. And what he saw, was the White Knight, his friends and the dragon he had tricked by hypnotizing him into attacking White Knight. The bottom line was; what Discord sees before him... was his fate about to be sealed.
"I don't understand, how did you find me? There was no way I left any breadcrumbs behind, I even told you that I wouldn't give any hints onto where I was hiding."
"You didn't have to. With the help of my friends, I was able to find you. And plus... you gave away a pretty obvious hint of where you were hiding." Said the White Knight.
At first Discord didn't know what he was talking about, but then he started looking around at the random chaos that surrounds him and figured out how White Knight was able to find Discord.
"Hmm, I see... well, it doesn't seem to matter anymore, considering that I was about to go look for you but instead, you came to me. And you even brought friends, well, you know what they say; the more the merrier." Said Discord.
And right after Discord had said "the more the merrier," White Knight and his friends assume formation, pulling out the Elements of Harmony so they can use them to defeat Discord. "All right, everyone. It's time to put the elements into good use." Said the White Knight as he had his eyes focused on Discord, just to see if Discord will make a move.
"Ha Ha- Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Exactly what's with those little gems, dare I ask?" Asked Discord while he was still laughing.
Then White Knight replies to Discord; "These gems, are the only things that can stop you. Now before we defeat you, I need you to ask me one question; Where are Celestia and Luna, the two young Alicorns that you kidnapped?" As he asked that question, all he was thinking about was the girls' safety.
"You're wasting your time, like I'm gonna tell you where they're at. HA! Don't make me laugh."
"Oh, you're gonna tell me... even if I have to make you talk." After that, White Knight, Blue Flash, Solara, Madam Krystal, Wintergreen the Wise and Merlon Magic began to use the Elements of Harmony. The Elements began to glow, they were floating in the air, forming a circle around the six. Then the gang started rising up, they were in mid-air, Discord was becoming a little worried whether the White Knight might be serious in defeating Discord. Discord tried taking a few steps back while he was looking at them, he knew he was asking for it so he decides to flee. "Well, heh-heh-heh. This looks bad, and uh... ...I should go." And as he was about to fly away, the Elements of Harmony were at full power, Discord kept gathering some distance between himself and the six, but at that moment... using the Elements, the six had shot a rainbow beam. The beam was tailing in on Discord, he tried to speed up, but the rainbow beam had caught up to him. And just as it hit him, Discord was about to be turn into stone. He tried fighting it, he kept on wiggling his body to break free from becoming stone, but it was pointless to do so because... his whole body had completely turned into stone.
After Discord had been stoned, his statue fell all the way to the ground and while it was falling, White Knight and the other five used the Elements to clean up the Earth of Discord's out of control, chaotic mess. When they used the Elements, they had produced a shining bright light that had expanded around the world, after the light had disappeared, everything was finally back to normal. Not one weird thing in sight, no dancing animals, no hard water, no rock river steams... nothing. White Knight and his friends went to see how the world has turned out, and yes, it turned out exactly the way it was before Discord came along. Now all the Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies can live in harmony once again, Even Twilight Sparkle was happy to see that everything is at peace.
"Thank you, White Knight. Thank you all for protecting this world." Said Twilight with a simple, yet adorable smile on her face.
At this very moment, the whole gang are just savoring the moment by watching the sun, slowly rising up to start a brand new day. Everyone was happy, even the White Knight most of all, the look on his face, his smile, his eyes shining as he's looking at the sun rise... he has finally found his happy place. But he knows that it's not over yet, there is still after all, Celestia and Luna to find. So, Madam Krystal creates a floating crystal platform from the ground so that the whole gang can descend to the ground and find Discord. Even Twilight was on for the ride, but something had caught her attention, she turned around and saw a door on the mountain grounds. When she saw the door, at the moment that the crystal platform was about to descend, she jumps out of the platform and onto the mountain ground to run towards the door.
She then made a sudden stop, realizing that there's only one door and not two. Last time there were two doors; one that would take her to Discord, and the other one that would take her back home in the real world. But now there's one door and Twilight isn't sure where this door will take her. "Hmm... only one door, huh? I suppose I could go through it, but where will it take me?" All she could hope is that the door will take farther into what happens next, so as she was hoping for the best and preparing for what happens next, she opens the door, goes right on in... and what was on the other side was a place where Twilight Sparkle thought she would never end up...
...back outside the front doors, of the Black Knight's palace.
