His smile widened when he saw the two sisters approach. “Ahh, Celestia, glad you could make it. And I see you’ve brought your sister, too. How lovely.” Luna stepped forward. “Save it, Discord. We’re here to get rid of you once and for all.” Celestia was dumfounded by the sudden bravery of the young alicorn. Discord was even more so. “Get rid of me? Oh why in the hoof would you want to do that, Luna? After all the fun we’ve had together.” Luna narrowed her eyes until they were barely visible. It was clear she was holding back tears, but Discord couldn’t see it. Celestia stepped forward, close to her sister. “We’re giving you a chance to leave now, Discord. Leave now and never come back. Leave all of us to peace and harmony and we will do nothing to you.” Discord, once again, hooted and laughed until tears came. “Of course, Celestia. I will leave now, after being victorious and successfully taking the throne that I’ve been striving to obtain for years. Ha! You are even dumber than I thought, Celestia, really.” His cruel and harsh words had no effect on Celestia, but to Luna those words alone made her feel more anger than she had felt in her whole life. “DON’T YOU EVER TALK TO MY SISTER THAT WAY!” Luna’s eyes glowed blue with a rage emanating from her that Celestia had never felt before. Her horn glowed and flickered. Discord seemed surprised, but then relaxed once more. “Feeling brave, little Luna? Alright then, hit me. Come at me with all you’ve got.” Luna’s anger increased at Discord’s boastful words. Out of Luna’s horn came a powerful magic that engulfed Discord in pure blue. Discord yelled and thrashed under the curtain of magic, but once the dust settled, Discord stood untouched in the center of Canterlot. ”Very cute, Luna. Tell me when you’re going to ‘get rid of me’, hmm?” Luna was about to charge at Discord again, but Celestia held her back. “The Elements of Harmony, remember?” Luna’s eyes returned to normal. Her hackles relaxed and her horn stopped glowing. “Sorry, Tia. I was just so…so angry.” Celestia took out the purple bejeweled box that had been sitting beside her the whole time. “I guess we’re gonna learn by doing, right Tia?” Celestia nodded. The five gemstones lifted out of the box and hovered. Discord was, for the first time, puzzled. “What are these? Are these the things that are going to lead to my dreaded demise?” Celestia and Luna exchanged glances and smiled, focusing their gaze back to the Elements of Harmony. They tried all they could to generate as much magic as possible, hoping that something would happen. Nothing. After what seemed like years, Luna walked up to Celestia and sighed. “I don’t this will work, Tia. Maybe we should-“ At that moment, Celestia and Luna’s horns touched, unleashing an enormous amount of unicorn magic. The Elements sparked and flickered, when suddenly a sixth element appeared. It was purple, bright, and magic. The gemstones started to spiral and swirl in circles, until they were moving so fast that a rainbow appeared out of the mass of colors. The rainbow spiraled upward and rain right into Discord, who was screaming and flaying, trying to escape the magic of the Elements the rainbow wrapped itself around Discord. When the rainbow’s blinding light dimmed, the two sisters saw lying at their hooves the stone mannequin of the chaos beast.
