THE FINAL BATTLE

by MySecretLife11


The Fall of an Enemy

"LUNA!" Princess Celestia cried. "Why!? I thought we had made up! I apologized, you apologized! You were my equal!"
"It wasn't good enough", Princess Luna growled. "1000 years being stuck in that blasted moon. Sorry won't cut it. You were always looked at as the dominant sister."
A tear slid down Princess Celestia's cheek as the changelings' grip grew tighter.
"But not anymore", Princess Luna finished, her dark blue mane blowing in the wind.

As more chaos spread in Ponyville, word got out that there was a new ruler. Princess Celestia had been overthrown by her own sister, Princess Luna.

Everything was over turned. The skies were always gray no matter how hard the Pegasus ponies tried to push the clouds out. Everlasting cold rain poured down... And it wasn't chocolate. Pinkie Pie was enraged by this.
Ponies had started to pack up their things. If Ponyville got worse, they would all have to move out. The rain soaked everything, and everywhere you turned, things were far from ordinary. Ponies' houses had literally been flipped upside down. All flowers in Ponyville were dead, and in their place were pots and pans. HUGE animals were running around everywhere. Ponyville was a rainy, muddy, destroyed mess.

Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity got together in times square.
"We MUST put an end to this! I can't take much more of this wretched rain!" Rarity moaned.
"And..." Pinkie Pie whimpered. "It... Isn't... Chocolate..."
Twilight spoke up. "Discord and Princess Luna may be in control, but we still have the Elements of Harmony. We just have to go to the castle, get the Elements, and this will all be over!"
"It's a darn shame!" Applejack mumbled. "Just as soon as we were gettin' to know them humans!"
Twilight replied, "We have to get those humans off our minds for now, we've got much bigger problems on our hooves."
"Like how there's no chocolate rain!" Pinkie cried. "How can you have eternal chaos without chocolate rain!?"
"We've gotta make an attack plan", Rainbow Dash said, digging her hoof in the mud.
"I do hope this goes well!" Rarity exclaimed.
"It will Rarity", Twilight replied. "And I already have a plan.
Everypony listened intently.
"It's simple really. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie, you run in and distract Discord and Princess Luna."
"Got it", Rainbow Dash replied.
"Okee dokee lokee!" Pinkie beamed.
"The rest of us will run in seconds later, grab the Elements, and I'll toss Dash and Pinkie their elements."
"Oh, Twilight, should we have a grand entrance?" Rarity cooned.
"Rarity", Twilight said. "Were kind of having a crisis."
"Oh, right", Rarity said.
"Then, I'll activate my magic, and we'll take out Discord and Princess Luna. From there, Discord will once again be a statue and we'll free Princess Celestia, and have her banish Princess Luna to the moon for another 1000 years. Any questions?"
Fluttershy was quiet, Rarity smiled, Rainbow Dash opened her wings, Applejack adjusted her hat, and Pinkie hopped up and down.
"Looks like we're ready then", Twilight said confidently. "Let's do this, girls."
Twilight asked them to line up together. She was going to try and teleport all six of them to Canterlot. She could do two or three without a problem, but six was a different story.
"Alright girls, are you ready!?" Twilight asked.
Applejack looked at everypony and said, "As ready as a Zapp Apple on the fourth day!"
"Okay", Twilight smiled. She closed her eyes, focused, and her horn lit up a purple color.

CRACK

There was a rush of wind and the Mane 6 were standing in front of the dark, gloomy castle. The skies were a darkish gray. Rain covered the sky and ground. It was as though Canterlot had been turned darker in color altogether.
"It looks... Different", Pinkie examined.
"You don't say", Rainbow Dash mumbled.
They all looked up the long flight of stairs to the castle doors, casting a ghastly shadow on to them.
"Well, it's now or never", Rainbow Dash shrugged. "C'mon Pinkie!"
"Okee dokee lokee!" Pinkie smiled.
The two crept up the stairs, slowly, ignoring the rain. They reached the top, and leaned up against the large purple doors.
Rainbow Dash glanced over to Pinkie, who was fidgety, trying to control her excitment.
A bolt of lightining struck in the distance.

"One... Two..." Rainbow Dash started.

"THREE!" Pinkie shouted with joy.

The two barged into the castle.
Sitting on the throne was a shocked Princess Luna. At the bottom of the throne sat a tied up and gagged Princess Celestia. Sitting by the left of the throne was a scaly smiling Discord, who was swaying his tail back and fourth.
"Come to stop us?" Discord said, nodding. "Go right ahead, the elements are right there!"
Also, sitting in the middle of the room, were the six elements lined up next to one another.
Pinkie looked at Luna and screamed, "PARTY!!!"
Pinkie Pie pulled out her "party canon" and shot it, streamers filling the room, scattering everywhere.
Rainbow Dash darted at the throne and spun around it in circles as Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack ran through the door.
Not thinking, they ran for the Elements. Nopony realized they were conveniently placed right where they could get them.
Princess Celestia struggled with her ropes, and shook her head vigorously, looking at the girls.
Fluttershy saw, and whispered, "Guys..."
Nopony heard as they picked up their elements.
"Twilight...?" Fluttershy whispered.
They all put on their Elements of Harmony.
"Guys, the Princess-" she whispered, but was cut off by Twilight.
"Pinkie! Dash! Here!"
Twilight tossed Rainbow Dash and Pinkie their elements.
"TWILIGHT!!!" Fluttershy screamed.
The five ponies turned around and stared at Fluttershy.
Fluttershy bowed her head embarrassed, and pointed at Princess Celestia.
The Princess, relieved, shook her head again.
"Ah yes, the Princess does have a point" Discord smiled. "I think I forgot to say, I played around with them a bit, and activating them wouldn't really be... The best decision."
Princess Celestia managed to undo her gag, and shouted, "Girls! They'll explode if you activate them!"
They all threw their elements off, and they clattered to the floor, where they'd stay.
"You see girls" Discord started. "I learned from my mistakes. Because of your 'friendship', you are linked. And the elements linked all of you together, and that power stopped me last time. But, since you have nothing to link you together, I can't be stopped!"
"He's right", Twilight whispered, her heart racing.
Another bolt of lightning stuck outside of the castle, glowing up the dark room.
Discord chuckled. "Yes! I am! And I am also the one who threw Equestria into eternal chaos! You may as well call me your ruler!"
Suddenly, starting at Discord's feet, he was turning a dark gray color.
"What on-..." Discord whispered.
The gray rose to Discord's waist, coiling around him.
"Sweet Celestia! I'm turning to stone again! Somepony! Help!"
The gray rose to Discord's chest, and indeed, Discord was being turned to stone.
The grayness covered Discord's arms, and rose to his neck.
"NOOOOOOO-!!!!!"
The stone covered his face, and went to the tip of his horns. Discord was once again fully a statue.
It was still sinking in everypony's head. And during that time, Princess Luna leapt from the throne next to the statue Discord.
"He made a stupid mistake", Luna said, angrily. "He is not the ruler. I am."
Luna kicked the statue with her back hoofs. The statue rocked and fell over, shattering to a thousand pieces.
"That imbecile isn't ever coming back", Princess Luna laughed.
"Wh-what? Why-?" Princess Celestia stammered.
Everypony was in complete shock! They all wanted to turn Discord into stone again, but...

Not to kill him.

But he was killed.

"Why?" Twilight whispered.
Princess Luna chuckled. "It was part of the plan from the beginning. Twilight would send the letter to the Princess so the Princess would check on the Elements. During the time she was alone with the elements, Discord would take her captive. And now that the elements are useless, I am on the throne, Equestria is in chaos, and Princess Celestia is under my control, I obviously no longer needed Discord. I was just going to let him be second in command, but as you can see, he was getting cocky, so I had to eliminate him so he would no longer he a threat."
"Sister!" Princess Celestia cried. "Please! Don't do this!"
"NO!" Princess Luna screamed. "You were always looked as the dominant sister! NOT ANYMORE!"
Princess Celestia, desperate, turned to Twilight and her friends. "Twilight."
Twilight stood there, still deep in shock.
"Twilight. You need to free me somehow. From there, I can stop Princess Luna, I just have to be free from these binds."
The six ponies finally came to their senses, and Twilight spoke up. "Don't worry Princess Celestia! We'll save you somehow!"
"I'LL SAVE YOU NOW!" Rainbow Dash cried, zipping through the air for Princess Celestia.
Pricess Luna's horn lit up and Rainbow Dash was thrown back by a very powerful forcefield.
"You really think it'd be that easy?" Princess Luna laughed.
Rainbow Dash, rubbing her back where she landed, said, "Don't worry Princess. We'll be back."
On that, the six girls turned to the door, passing the now useless elements of harmony, and the shattered pieces of Discord. Together, they walked into the pouring rain, as another lightning strike bolted in the distance.
