Chapter 1: Playing Your Cards Right
"Everything is going to be just fine", Twilight Sparkle said while soaring through the deep blue sky.
She then starts to lose her balance, and then lets out a loud scream, hoping someone would come to her aid, but sadly, no one did. She then crashed into the Everfree forest.
An evil laugh is then heard in the distance.
"In need of some flying lessons now don't we, Ms. Sparkle?", the voice boomed.
Twilight then emerged her face from out of the ground, then regained her vision from the impact.
"Yeah, I guess", Twilight replied. "Wait. What are you doing here Discord?", Twilight replied.
"Oh, me? Just here to put my little plan into action", Discord said.
"What plan?"
"Well, remember when you and your pony friends tried to make me 'good' again?"
"Yes.. why?"
"Well.. I'm just not really into that whole goody two shoes thing"
"Hm, figures. I knew it was about time when you would show your face again and cause chaos again. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to fly back to Canterlot castle and end this before it gets out of hand", Twilight said while trotting around. Discord then jumps in front of her, blocking her path.
"Oh, you're not going anywhere Ms. Sparkle"
"Um, yes I am! Once I get the my hands on the elements of harmony you can go back to being imprisoned in stone, where you belong"
"Oh, you mean these elements?" Discord says, while showing Twilight the other five elements.
"Where did yo-"
"Save the questions for later. You wouldn't want to ruin the surprise now would we?"
"What surpri-"
Before Twilight could say another word, Discord grabbed a Cockatrice from behind him, and shoved it into Twilight's face, thus turning her into stone.
Discord then grabbed Twilight's tiara and then walked off.
"Thank you your highness"
"I'm telling y'all. I'm one hundred percent sure that scream belonged to Twilight", Applejack exclaimed.
"Everypony calm down", Celestia spoke. "Why not you all check to see who it was, and see if they're alright"
Discord then landed on the balcony of the castle.
"DISCORD! I knew you were behind this!", Celestia shouted.
"Behind what? Anyway, I'm come bearing some news. The person who screamed was indeed Twilight", Discord said.
"I knew it!", Applejack shouted.
"She's alright, just a broken wing is all. I walked her back to her library, she's fine now.
"That's funny. Why would she go back home?", Fluttershy whispered. "The whole kingdom is here to celebrate her new princess status"
"She's probably just tried. I mean COME ON! Restoring the Elements of Harmony and becoming an Alicorn in one day is a lot to process!", Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
"That is most likely the case", Celestia giggled. "Why not you lot check on her? Discord, you may accompany them if you wish".
"It would be my honor", Discord said, while bowing.
"Let's do hurry", Rarity said. She then looks up at the sky. "It does seem like there's a storm coming in"
"Okay everypony... and Discord. To the train station!", Applejack commanded.
Spike then glares at her.
"Oh AND Spike. Sorry sugar cube"
They then starting making their way to the station.
They then finally make their way there.
“All aboard!”, said the train driver.
They all then take a seat.
“Ooo, it does this like we’re going to be in for one huge storm!”, Rainbow Dash exclaimed. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite like this before”
“I hope my little Opal isn’t scared”, Rarity added.
Discord then notices a terrified philly sitting next to him.
“Boo!”, Discord yells.
The philly then runs off to the other carriage, screaming.
“Now, Discord, there’s no need to be go and scaring little phillies! I think you should apologize!”, Applejack asked.
“Ick, no. I’ve had enough of this”, Discord said, he then snaps his fingers, and teleports himself and rest of the ponies to the library.
“Why didn’t ya do that in the first place?”, Rainbow screamed, while wailing her hooves in the air. “I just spent seventeen bits on the ride back!”
“Speak for yourself, you won’t believe how much they charge for dragons”, Spike added.
Pinkie Pie then opens up the door to the library, with the rest of the group standing behind her.
“TWILIGHT!”, they all exclaimed, with beaming faces.
“Hey girls!”, she responded.
“Oh my dear, your wing looks awful”, Rarity said while examining her wing.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine, just a little scratch is all. Thank goodness Discord was there to help me back to the library”, Twilight responded.
“It looks like your training has paid off after all”, Fluttershy said, while giving Discord a hug.
“The pleasure has been all mine. Thank you ponies”, Discord said.
“Why is everyone forgetting about me?”, Spike added.
“Thank you.... for making this so easy for me”, Discord yells.
In a matter of seconds Twilight then morphs into Queen Chrysalis, and then gives an evil laugh.
The ponies then gasp.
“What did you do to the REAL Twilight?!”, Rainbow Dash yelled.
“Oh, she’s fine. Quite fun...”, Discord grins, while holding Twilight’s tiara in front of them. “Chrysalis, I believe you are needed at Canterlot castle”
Discord then gives her a wink. She then flies out of the door. The ponies try to escape, but then Discord ‘poofs’ away the door, meaning there is no escape.
“Who else is in this plan of yours!?”, Applejack screamed.
“Why not look out the window?”, Discord replies.
The ponies then look out a window.
Then out the dark clouds, a pair of green eyes appear.
“Crysssstals”, King Sombra booms.
“I also got ahold of Trixie”, Discord adds.
Trixie then jumps out from behind a bookcase.
“TRIXIE?????!”, the ponies exclaim.
“Pfft. You might as well bring back Gilda while you’re at it”, Rainbow Dash yells.
“I tried. She’s currently on vacation as we speak”, Discord replies.
“But, how did you pull this off?”, Applejack asked.
“It was simple”, Discord replies. “Since all of Equestria was at Twilight's princess corrugation, I decided to gather up Chrysalis and Sombra, and steal the Elements of Harmony, so you guys won’t be all zappy-zappy this, and poof! We’re gone. I then casted a spell on Twilight using on her books to make her lose balance while flying. After she crash landed I used a Cockatrice to freeze her in stone. so she wouldn’t ruin our plan”
“But where did she crash land?”, Applejack asked.
Discord then laughs.
“That would ruin the surprise, wouldn’t it?”, Discord replies.
“First Equestria..... and then the entire pony world!!”
Lightning is then heard clashing in the background.
A crack then starts to form in the Twilight statue.
