"Discord change twilight back to normal!" Celestia demanded. Her blood boiled as every bit of her wanted to see discord suffer for what he has done.

"Sister you must calm down. I want Twilight back as much as you do but we must stay focused." Luna pleaded with her sister.

Discord could only laugh at Celestia's attitude. "This is a new side of you that I have never seen before Celestia. I must admit it’s quite annoying. So tell me Celestia how much are you willing to sacrifice to see your student again?"
"What do you mean by sacrifice?" Celestia carefully asked following his every move.

"It’s simple really." Discord said as he snapped his fingers. Still next to Celestia Twilight began to feel as if her body was being pulled onto her old body. Her vision began to blur as the seconds passed until a sharp pain ran threw her body causing her to black out.  A dark sphere emerged around Nightfall engulfing her completely. "This sphere will represents your student twilight."

Discord snapped his fingers once more this time causing a sphere to quickly engulf Luna. Before Luna could react the sphere was already closing around her.  "Tia-!" Was all Luna could say before the sphere surrounded her. Celestia turned only to see her sister fade into the sphere.

"And that sphere will represent all of Equestria. Now listen closely Celestia because I'm saying this once. I will give you the chance to choose what happens right know to the ones you care for. The sphere that holds your sister if you choose it will come at a cost you will never see your student ever gain. Can you live with that? The thought of losing you precious student what would her parents think. How the princess willingly sacrificed their own child for her own benefit to remain the ruler of Equestria."

"And what I chose Twilight?!" She yelled.

"If you choose Twilight then all of Equestria will be mine forever. You will surrender the throne to me and never set foot back inside the kingdom ever again. Your sister will be turned into stone and be placed where I once stood in the garden.”
