" What do you need, Your Majesty?" asked Lyra. The princess flashed her a very serious face. " You six have proven yourselves worthy of bearing the Elements of Harmony," she said after a moment or two. Derpy stood there, confused.  'The Elements of what?' she thought. Her string of thoughts was broken by her companion. "The Elements of what now?" the Doctor asked. Twilight opened her mouth to speak, but Lyra cut her off. " The Elements of Harmony are six elements that have the most powerful magic in all of Equestria! Loyalty, generosity, laughter, kindness, honesty, and magic, the Element Princess Twilight discovered," she explained. The Princess stepped forward. "But now that my friends are gone," she started to say, but emotions took over, and she collapsed on the ground, crying. Octavia rushed over to her. "Princess! Are you alright?" Twilight looked at her "Yes, Octavia. I'm fine," she said, tearfully. "Ahem. As I was saying, there must be new ponies to take hold of the Elements." Lyra stared at her in confusion. "But why us? I mean, we're just ordinary ponies. Except Doctor. But still! We aren't special!"                                           "Yes you are. You are very special, very special indeed." //-------------------------------------------------------// Discovering Power //-------------------------------------------------------// Discovering Power WARNING: THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS WILL HAVE PONY LANGUAGE (ex: buck, rump.....) "What exactly do you mean by 'special'?" Lyra asked. "Each one of you holds a special power. One that will help Equestria on multiple occasions," Twilight said. " How do we find out which Element we are? I mean we aren't psychic or anything," Derpy said with a strange look on her face. Well, she always has a strange look on her face. But this look was especially strange. "Just like I learned my Element. You find it through hard work and adventure," Princess Twilight said. And with that, she started to fly to Canterlot. "Well.... That was helpful," Doctor Whooves said sarcastically. He looked to the other five. "I guess we just need to figure it out ourselves." Everpony just stood there like clueless penguins. "That doesn't help! Get your rumps moving!" Doctor yelled. Everypony started to run around like crazy. "Ugh. We have a lot of work to do," Doctor said in exasperation //-------------------------------------------------------// Convincing //-------------------------------------------------------// Convincing " You can't keep them anymore, Twilight!" Celestia said to the star princess. " Now that your friends are gone, the Elements of Harmony are, well, NOT in harmony," Luna explained. Twilight looked at the two older superiors in shock. " You're the ones that told me to leave my friends with that dragon! You told me that it was their time to go. They still had long lives ahead of them! And you ended them just because I needed to live! NOT THEM! I would rather die than my friends being killed!" she screamed. " And now you're worrying about the fact that stupid GEMS won't work because they're gone. You don't even care about my feelings," she ended, tears streaming down her purple coat. Celestia sat down next to Twilight. " Now, you know that's not true." " Of course we care about you. It's just that we need to find new ponies to bear the Elements." Twilight looked at Luna. With a sniff she said, " But who? I can't think of anypony." Celestia looked at Twilight, Luna and then at Twilight again. " I can think of a few ponies that might be cut out for the job," she said with a gleam in her eyes. In Ponyville square....... " Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Go wub!!!!" the white unicorn yelled in delight. " Ugh. Can you turn that down Vinyl? I'm trying to read!" Octavia yelled over the pounding noise of the base. " Yeah, it is kind of loud. Could you please turn it off?" Bon Bon said. " Vinyl!!! The vibrations from your base are ruining my project about humans! PLEASE TURN IT OF!!!!!!!!!" Lyra shouted from the bench she was sitting on. " Wow! I thought that I was the most destructive thing to come to Ponyville!" Derpy said to Doctor Hooves. " Now, Derpy, you know that's not true!" he said back to the wall-eyed mare. " Geesh! Get a barn you two!" Vinyl Scratch said to the two ponies. Octavia looked at her in shock. " Vinyl! That was VERY rude!" she yelled to the snickering unicorn. " Hey! I was just being honest!" she said angrily. " You just need to stop being so.. so-... KIND!" " You take that back, Vinyl!" " Make me," Vinyl Scratch said with a smirk on her face. " Hahahahaha!!! You guys are SO funny!" Bon Bon said from over where Lyra was. "Guys guys! There's no reason to fight!" Lyra said, using her magic to split up the feuding ponies.    Suddenly, Twilight came flying down from Canterlot Castle. The six friends bowed when she landed. " Welcome Princess. How may we help you?" The Doctor asked. Twilight looked solemnly at the six ponies. " There is something we need to discuss,"
