Chapter 35:The Nightmare and the Magic Thief

I looked around, we were in a throne room. I saw Discord holding a ridiculously large clock and frowned “It’s supposed to be daytime.”

I sighed “Nightmare Moon.”

I turned as I heard a gasp of shock “Discord!” I turned around to see Nightmare Moon, I pulled her into the room with levitation thine cast a repulsion spell on the room preventing anypony else from getting near.

Discord and I turned to Nightmare Moon, she roared “Unhand me this instant, pony.”

I turned to Discord “Elements?”

Discord nodded “Elements.”

We summoned the Elements of Harmony around us, Nightmare tried to break out only for repulsion spell to bounce her back. The elements glowed and blasted her with their might. We turned away from the flash of light when we looked back we saw Luna lying there amongst the rubble of her armour. Luna got into an offensive stance “Discord, vile creature.”

Discord rolled his eyes “I’m not here to hurt you, we are here to help.”

Luna growled “Why should I believe you and your… Who is she you, thrall?”

Trixie growled at the accusation “He is my coltfirend that you very much!”

Luna raised any eyebrow “When did you find a mare who would love you?”

Trixie frowned “We talk about that later once you get your guard off our flanks.” The sound of banging at the door was evident. Trixie removed her spell and the guard barged in there.

The guards looked around “Nightmare Moon where are you?”

They turned to see the broken shards around Luna who was about she size of an average pony, they gasped “Nightmare Moon, my Queen what happened?”

Luna’s eyes widened as she turned to Discord and Trixie, she said “These two saved me from the darkness, Nightmare Moon is gone, I am Princess Luna guardian of the night.”

The guard blinked. Luna frowned “Now where’s my sister?”

Discord guided Luna to the window, she began to sob as she saw the image of a mare on the moon. I trotted forward my horn glowing, I fired a small beam at the moon pushing my magic through it, I gritted my teeth my horn hasn’t exactly been as useful to me and I’ve been neglecting it and instead waving my hooves to cause something to happen. I watched as the mare on the moon vanished, then a huge rush of air filled the room as I saw Celestia slam into the floor her mane on fire, she roared “Nightmare Moon show yourself!”

Luna grabbed her sister crying “I’m so sorry.”

Celestia's eyes widened “Luna how?”

Luna pointed her hoof at us, Celestia stared “Discord..”

Discord grinned “I’m not your Discord, your Discord is still sealed in a statue.”

I frowned “I’d love to explain further but we may not have much time.” I glared as a huge wave of light flooded towards us. With a flash we ended up once again in the throne room but it was empty.

Discord eyes narrowed as he looked out a window“Tirek.” I gasped as the whole castle shook, Discord frowned “We have to stop him, I just hope the elements are enough.”

I said “Well then let’s get going.”

We flew out there, Tirek grinned “Well what do we have here, another Discord and another pony, well more power for me.”

Discord and I growled “Not a chance!” I growled as I summoned the elements of Loyalty, Honesty and Laughter out of my body. I felt the other 3 elements as well we pushed them forward, we roared “For Harmony!”

Tirek grinned wickedly as he fire a huge ball of energy a us, we gritted our teeth as his energy pushed towards us. Tirek laughed manically “Even the elements can’t stop me now.”

Discord growled gritting his teeth “Dammit, the normal power of the elements doesn’t match up to Rainbow Power. We don’t have enough power.” I felt my teeth grinding against one another as we tried to push the attack back.Discord sighed “Well I guess this is the end.”

He grabbed me and placed his lips against mine, I could feel his tears dropping onto my muzzle.

Meanwhile

Far in the frozen north under the rubble of where a grand crystal castle once stood a heart shaped rock began to glow it’s energy roaring to life. It felt something it had thought long lost, it felt love.

The rock turned into a beautiful blue heart shaped gem, the gem flew into the air before seeking the source of love.

Trixie’s POV

I felt something fly into us glowing I smiled as the feeling of love glowed in my heart and soul. I watched as our bodies crystallised and the elements flew into us our bodies glowed with power on my left front leg there was a red lighting bolt while on my right was an orange apple, I felt a tingling on my back, so I cast a quick spell and saw a large blue balloon on it. I turned to Discord whose body was crystallised like mine, I saw he had a pink butterfly on his right paw with a purple gemstone of his left claw. I them blinked as a I saw a large six pointed purple star on his back.

Discord eyes widened “This could only be one thing, the Crystal Heart!”

I blinked “The Crystal heart, I thought that was a relic of the empire based on…” We both said in unison as it clicked “Love.”

Discord shook his head “Well love let’s deal with him.”

I turned to see a massive glowing barrier of power blocking Tirek’s attack with little effort. I growled “Let’s end this once and for all.”

I glared at Tirek who watched in horror as a huge crystallised rainbow laser blasted him tearing the magic out of him as well as banishing him to Tartarus If I’d hazard a guess. Me and Discord looked around as magic flew back into the environment. I smiled “Well another timeline saved, where are we going now.”

He turned to me “You’re biggest challenge, the one thing you never thought you would have to face.”

I asked “What is that?”

He sighed “Me.” I froze in horror as temporal energy passed over us.
