The Assassins' Ascent

Trees and fireflies surrounded Ezio as he walked towards the settlement named "Ponville", strange thoughts triggered in his mind, "Where am I? What is this place? Why do my hands look strange?". He reflected on that last thought and glared at his hands. They looked... more colorful and unrealistic. The sounds of branches breaking and growling came from behind him. He turned his head over to the direction of the noise. A bush rustled, then again, then again. A chickens head popped out. Confused, Ezio slowly backed away from the chicken. The chicken moved out of the bush with dead red eyes. What Ezio saw next made a chill move down his spine. The chicken had the body of a snake and wings of a bat. He slowly readied his hidden gun, the creature just stared at him as if expecting Ezio to run off. A minute had passed and Ezio felt his legs stiffen up, he looked at his feet... They were turning into stone! He panicked for a short while then aimed his hidden gun at the creature. The gunshot made the birds in the forest fly away. The stone was at reversing from his waist, his knees, then his feet. A small sigh escaped Ezio's mouth. He resumed his walk towards Ponyville, he pulled out his journal from his pouch and began writing.

"We need to stop it!" Spike said drowsily then falling into his bed.

"No, you need to sleep!" Twilight said in her motherly tone, "You're still a baby dragon after all." She covered him in a blanket, then trotted to a large book lying on the table. She picked it up using her levitation and read the cover to herself, "Myths and Legends." She flipped through several pages, one page seemed to interest her. "Humans," she read looking at the picture of a dark creature standing upright without a tail, "Nopony is quite sure if these bipedal creatures are legend, or simply myth. Humans?" she continued reading, "An ancient tablet found deep in the ruins of the old castle found in the Everfree Forest was discovered. It is written in a language that nopony can understand, nor translate. This piece if ancient history can be found in the museum of Ponyville. It's not that far! But seeing how late it is I doubt it will be open." she looked at her clock. "Tomorrow," she said, "tomorrow I will find out..." She closed her book and trotted up stairs to her bed. She used her levitation spell to move the blanket, she hopped on the bed and layer down, then covered herself. "Tomorrow..." she said before closing her eyes.

"Twilight!" a familiar voice called out. "Twilight!" it called again. "Twilight! Wake up you're gonna miss the meeting with Princess Celestia!" She jolted right up, eyes open, and her mane messy. "What meeting?" Twilight questioned.

"Your meeting with Celestia! Remember last night?" Spike answered. She tried to remember what happened last night. It all flashed in her head like a camera. "Oh my gosh! I've got to get the others!" She jumped out of her bed and galloped to the door, but Spike stood in the way. "Spike what are you doing?!" She yelled at her assistant.

"Relax Twi, I went to go do that while you were asleep." Spike said.

"Oh... Well thank you, Spike" She smiled.

Spike felt a sudden burst of pride, he stood straight, and stuck his chest out, having a confident smile, "You're welcome!" he said. Twilight rolled her eyes and proceeded to her kitchen cabinet. She levitated a loaf of bread, some hay, and flowers out of the cabinet and onto the table. She put them together, making a sandwich. She let out a "Mmm" and just before she was about to eat it, Spike shouted at her, "Twilight! The chariot is here you gotta go!" She let out a depressed sigh, put down her sandwich, and trotted to the door. She opened the door, two pegasi guards stood there, harnessed to the chariot. "Miss, Twilight Sparkle?" One of them asked.

"That's me." she said.

"You, and the other elements, have a meeting with Princess Celestia." the second one said.

"I know." Twilight moved onto the chariot and said bye to Spike. The guards reared then took off into the sky, flying towards Canterlot Castle.

The mane six stood outside of the throne room, waiting for Celestia to open the golden marble doors. "What do you think this meeting is about?" Rainbow Dash asked. They all shrugged. Suddenly, the doors opened, and there on the throne sat the majestic alicorn herself, Princess Celestia accompanied by her younger sister, Princess Luna.

"TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" Luna's voice boomed through the entire room, "WE WOULD LIKE TO -ahem- I would like to have a word with you." Luna smiled.

"Not now, Luna, you're going to have to wait until the meeting is over." Celestia spoke.

"But, Tia-" Luna tried to reason.

"Luna, I'm sorry but you have to wait." Celestia interrupted. Luna nodded then mumbled to herself something about being younger and less important.

"Hello, my little ponies," Celstia spoke and smiled warmly, "I suppose you're wondering why I called you all here." they all nodded in unison. "You all remember Discord, right?"

"Hold on there, princess," Applejack spoke, "are ya sayin' that-"

"Discord has escaped? Then yes." She interrupted.

"But how? He's imprisoned in stone!" Twilight yelled from across the room.

"I wish I knew," Celestia replied, "but you six have proven the power of magic and friendship, with the elements of harmony, I am certain the you all can defeat Discord once again!"

An evil laugh echoed in the room. "Oh Celestia... This prep talk again?"

"Discord!" Celestia shouted, "Where are you?!"

"Woah, woah, calm down... No need for yelling," Discord's voice echoed, "besides... You won't need a search party." A bright light shone in the center of the room, and within a second, he appeared. "Hello, everypony!" everypony gasped. Discord turned to face Celestia, "Ah, Princess Celestia, how goes the day?" he then turned to Luna, "Luna! It's been too long! How was the moon?" Discord grinned evilly. Luna's horn was surrounded in a dark blue aura, she looked like she was about to explode. Celestia put a hoof in front of her and shook her head. "How did you escape?" Celestia questioned.

"Now that I think of it," Discord put his right paw (lion) on his chin and cocked his eyebrow, "I don't really know, it could be a disturbance in Equestria." he snapped his finger and a throne submerged from the floor between the two princess's, he snapped his finger again and the they both stood beside the mane six. He teleported and sat on the throne, he put his left claw (griffon) in his mouth and he let out a loud, obnoxious whistle. A pink cloud flew in from the window and hovered above him. A glass appeared in his hand and he held it out, chocolate rain came out of the cloud, and into his glass. He was about to drink it until two guards interrupted him, "Halt!" one of them shouted. Discord snapped his finger and the guards turned into frogs, "You shouldn't be so rude you know?" he continued to drink it, but instead of drinking the chocolate rain, he drank the glass. "Are you gonna finish that?" Pinkie Pie shouted, he threw the chocolate at her and she caught it with her mouth, she gulped than said, "Aaah..." an explosion erupted inside her, and she let out a cough of smoke. Discord laughed hysterically and fell to the ground, pounding his fists on the floor.

"Enough jokes!" Luna's voice boomed, "Thou shall tell us thy's plan to destroy Equestria!"

"Alright, I've got the 'experience' from last time and I'm not going to make the same mistake," Discord replied, "Here's my four-part Plan, Part one: Hide the elements of harmony! Part two: Don't tell YOU where I'm going to hide! Part three: Kidnap Luna!" he snapped his finger and Luna disappeared, "Luna!" Celestia yelled, "What did you do to-"

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not done yet! Where was I? Oh yes, Part four: Convince Nightmare Moon to join my side!" everypony gasped, "You know what? This plan is so good, I'm going to give you all the sporting chance, and give you the elements! I'm joking of course, goodbye." Discord snapped his finger and and disappeared as well, leaving behind the shocked ponies.

NOTE: DAYUM!
