Chrysalis looked at the Draconequs and felt a collection of mixed emotions. On one hand he was quite successful in the attacks on Trottingham, and the army he had raised was quite impressive, just a bit of brainwashing, hypnotism, manipulation and trickery and they now had an army that surpassed anything Equestria or her allies could put together. On the other, he had managed to bring back Sombra who he promptly let him be destroyed. This not only led to the destruction of an ally that made Nightmare Moon look like a fat kid on rollerskates, but also raised the attention of the Royal Sisters. Someone had to have let Sombra out, and they'd be looking for whoever did so, and the crystal ponies also added another bastion of defense to the Equestrian forces which might actually prove to be a challenge to her army.
She put her head in her hoof and sighed, she didn't know how to react to him.
".... Discord, you really are a puzzle aren't you"
The Draconequs perked up and looked back at her with a grin
"Why, as the spirit of chaos it only makes sense doesn't it? wait actually, scratch that, it shouldn't make sense, chaos never has to" with that he laughed, created a chocolate milk, downed it and then hurled it at the nearest changeling where it promptly exploded in its face.
That last act of violence determined Chrysalis' mood, she wasn't going to be apathetic or tired, she was going to be mad.
"For the love of Celestia can you please stop killing my guards with chocolate milk?! I mean come on! at the very least you could kill them in a less degrading way!"
the few remaining guards who weren't currently in chocolate scented pieces backed away uncomfortably.
"What about that army I raised for you? that has to make up for some of it. there's at least 90% of both the griffon and minotaur armies in it, not including the swaths of dragons, manticores, and brainwashed ponies".
Chrysalis was still angry
"You could take hundreds of armies to Equestria and they'd still all be defeated by the elements of harmony. Sombra was the only one who could destroy them and now he's dead because of you."
"Come now, Crystal. I can see why you'd be upset, but I can assure I have found another way around that problem."
"What?, you've never mentioned this before. What plans do you have in mind?"
"Oh Crystal, why does everything need to be so complicated for you? Sure complication is great for chaos but I have the perfect idea..."
"Tell me.... NOW"
"Jeez pushy,... okay so, all you need to do to destroy the elements of harmony..."
he paused for dramatic effect
"just drop them in a volcano."
Chrysalis stood there thinking, she opened her mouth to say something but closed it. She thought more, opened her mouth again. and then closed it, and thought a little more. This time she opened her mouth and said something.
".... Discord.... you may actually be right. An unorthodox method for destroying those wretched things, but it seems that that might actually work..."
Discord chuckled and replied "Why, its actually quite simple really, they are just some jewelry after all; jewelry with magical powers yes, but still jewelry."
"Discord, I see no problems with your plans except for one small detail. How do we get the elements? Celestia has quadrupled their security since my attack on Canterlot. It's impossible for us to get through all those guards and spells."
"Not a problem Chrystal, I have one stallion who can certainly get us past..."
