Back at Canterlot Castle, in the darkest parts of the castle's dungeons, Celestia is thrown into a dungeon cell. She curls slightly in pain as she lands. Celestia, with all her strength, manages to sit herself up as she angrily eyes Discord through her cell.

"Tsk tsk tsk… oh, what's the matter, Celestia?" he asked, smiling. "Not having fun? I was quite looking forward to playing with you again. But I've come to see how much of a bore you really are."

The weak Princess begins mustering up strength but still struggles to barely stand. "W- why… why are you… doing this?"

"Why? Hmmm… such a vague question. So many possible answers, so little time. Let's start off with this, shall we? Do you remember the old days, Celestia? I would cause a little chaos, nothing big, just a bit of fun really." Discord paused for a small moment to look at his ancient enemy.

"All you ever had to do was ask me to stop," the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony continued. "But what did you do? You and your wretched sister waved your pretty little horns around and encased me in stone. Centuries… in stone… heavy is the weight on the head that wears the crown, hmm?"

Celestia begins to breathe heavily through her nostrils, with anger building up inside her.

"Although, that little protégé of yours is something else."

Celestia's eyes grow wide. "Twilight…"

"Mmm, yes, Twilight Sparkle. Once so proud. So loyal. Now, a lost soul abandoned and betrayed."

"I won't let you hurt her!" she weakly yelled.

Discord quickly lifts Celestia's chin to meet his gaze. "You forget Celestia that I am the one pulling the strings! I have more power in a single talon of my claw than you ever had! Twilight Sparkle will be mine and once she's become my little puppet, I will enjoy making her dance in front of you. Twilight won't return. Not to you."

'"She will come," said Celstia, through her tears.

"Hmph. I'd like to see her try," said Discord. "Because when she becomes mine, NOTHING will ever take what was rightfully mine again. And you Celestia… will perish."

"You… monster!"

"Don't act so surprised, Celestia," Discord laughed. "I'm just simply repaying the favor. After all, you made me a monster." Discord turns away from Celestia and exits the dungeon. Celestia collapses onto the ground, weeping greatly.
