Some might say that the sword makes the man but I disagree I believe that the man makes the sword. It doesn't matter what the sword is as a sword can not swing itself it needs someone wield it. I may not be the best man for the job but I guess Celestia trusts me to protect the elements.
The first thing I hear is Twilight ask “What are you thinking about Craig?”
I just look at her and say “Just was thinking about why Celestia gave me the sword. I just don't think I am worthy of wielding such a powerful weapon.”
To this Rainbow Dash Just looks at me and laughs “you don't need to be worried about being unworthy Craig”
seconds later I hear Applejack declare “Rainbows right about that, I can honestly say ya are worthy off wieldin the sword.
I then look at them and sigh then mutter “yeah I guess your right. But what about my temper. If I can't control it I'm a threat to everyone I care about”
Rarity then walks up to me and whispers “honestly darling, I for one am sure that you can control your temper.”
To this I, look at her and laugh “you honestly don't. Haven't heard how I reacted when I got here yesterday?”
Rarity just sighs and whisper “I'm afraid so Darling. I'm afraid I heard a bit from Sweetie Belle, and if your reaction earlier is anything to go on, I can say she is most definitely correct.”
I then just look at her and shout “That just proves my point. My temper could put everyone in danger, and now I'm permanently armed with a sword. How can I protect ponies if I could kill them, from just calling me a freak?”
Seconds later Twilight walks up to me and calmly declares “You can protect ponies because you have friends by your side who will help you to say calm, besides how can you get mad with Pinkie around”
I then hear Pinkie laugh and announces “Yeah. How can you be mad with me around”
To this I laugh and say “it's not possible for me to feel sad. I just hope nothing happens to you to change that”
Second later I hear Twilight declare “OK we're here. Dash you fly ahead to see if you can see our elements in there”
“no problem Twilight”
However as she begins to try to fly both her and Fluttershy's wings disappear. I then turn towards Rarity and Twilight to see that the same had happened to their horns. I then her the four of them scream and I then look to the sky and shout “Discord! Where are you?!”
I then hear an ominous sound behind us and turn around to see Discord laughing “oh that is priceless” however he stops as soon as he sees me and says “no. Not you. Not again”
I then look at him and shout “give them their horns and wings back Discord”
“not till they have played my little game”
I then shut my eyes and say “This is your last warning Discord. Give them their horns and wings back”
“and I said not till they play my game”
I then open my eyes and announce “I warned you and now it'd time, for you see the error of your ways” I then begin to hover off the ground slowly put two fingers to my head and then disappear. I then reappear behind him a whisper “time to pay the piper” I then punch him directly between his two wings and hear a load crack in his back as he plummets towards the ground. I then teleport once again and punch him back towards where we were seconds before. Seconds later I appear back to where we was before, I then brandish my sword and get ready to strike him it. However at the last second I hear a click and he disappears.
I then hear an ominous sound behind me mutter “my turn” I then feel his claws strike me in the back as I scream in pain and begin to plummet towards the ground “pathetic I expected so much more from you”
I then look up and say “this isn't over Discord not by a long-shot”
However second later I fall forwards onto my front as I hear Fluttershy run up to me and shout “Craig!” I then hear her shout “doe's anyone have anything to cover this!”
I then quietly murmur “I won't back down” and then I begin to reach towards my sword and grab the hilt of it and then say “No I won't back down” and the proceed stan the tip of the sword into the ground and use it to balance myself and shout “You can stand me up at the gates of hell. But I won't back down.”
I then collapse onto my knees as both Fluttershy and Applejack grab me and as Applejack shouts to me “Craig stop you can't beat him not in this state”
I then hear Twilight say “we'll play your game Discord”
“Wonderful all you have to do is find your elements and you win”
Applejack and Fluttershy then move me to rest my back against a wall and says “we'll beat Discord then we'll get you help Craig just hold on”
They then proceed into the maze as I hear Twilight declares “Never fear, girls. We have each other!”
I then hear Rainbow Dash shout “Yeah! Like Twilight said, there's nothing we can't overcome if we all stick together!"
With that they all walk towards the entrance of the maze and I hear them all shout “Together!” then seconds later they begin screaming as hedges form between and behind behind each of them and seal them in separate parts of the maze.
I then see Discord turn to me and shouts “you have no hope Craig. You will never stop me you are not powerful enough to do so” he then teleports beside me and whispers “I will break the elements and make them hate you. Just like I did before you came to Equestria. You are nowhere as strong as those others”
My eyes then open wide as I mumble out “no, how did you even get to my home and what others?”
I then see a dark figure in the sky approach us as Discord disappears leaving me momentarily alone. Seconds later I hear someone shout “Is thoust OK?”
I look then look up to see the figure of Princess Luna standing infront of me. I try to tell her I'm not but I struggle to even utter a single word. I then see her look at the wall behind me to see large crimson streaks running down it and yells “we need to get thou to my sister thoust is hurt.” she then proceeds to levitate me onto her back and carries be back into the castle.
