He then turns away, stroking his chin. DISCORD: You know if this is done, celestia... You shall have no power over me... at all... CELESTIA: To save Equestria and my sister, I shall. TWILIGHT: But your Majesty- CELESTIA: Discord, was a citizen of this land before it was called Equestria. And with all of the other things that ponies go threw in Ponyville alone. DISCORD: And that's why I picked it as my capital. CELESTIA: Not now Discord. Discord poofs behind celestia. His arm's crossed behind him, discord lowers his brows at her. DISCORD: You also realize that i'm rightful heir also. Where does that put you? CELESTIA: Look, if you wish to debate the throne, than I shall but not now! There shalt be a throne or anyone for your mischievous doings if we dally! DISCORD: I'll only agree if you promise to throw a lavish party were everyone has to wear their favorite candy then have cats playing the instruments. PINKY: I don't even know how that will work. BUT everything is worth a try! CELESTIA: Sigh, then you can handle that later, Pinky, but right now Discord and I have a truce to declare. Twilight. Parchment and feathers. Post haste. TWILIGHT: Yes, Celestia. Hours... a full day passes. Discord and Celestia bickering, agreeing and disagreeing. They finally come to a conclusion, not before the truce was proof read several times by the dismay of the tired twilight. No one had really slept for days. Discord, within his spirit magically changed some of the paragraphs after the finishing of it. so the poor twilight had to make copies and remember spells on herself to make sure that everything was legit. finally the document was sealed and framed. Celestia went outside to raise the sun. What she saw made her dizzy. The ocean was almost fully apart of the sky and the grass and ground with it. the sky was forming as the new ground, or the new sky. This was Discord's doing... Did she really make the right choice? Celesta gallops back in and gets within breathing distance of Discord's face. He smirks and she frowns. Celestia stomps her hoof and takes in a deep breath. DISCORD: All right, all right... Darn! I was trying to create a "New World". Topsy-turby, you know. Just... Just give me a minute... Discord floats outside. He gets mid horizon and pauses in the air. The other ponies watch on from the palace. Suddenly a burst of blinding light is sent throughout the lands. The light vanishes moments later and the land is once again back to normal. Discord appears sitting on the throne, drinking a chocolate, banana milk shake threw a long, skinny, cherry licorice straw. DISCORD: So are we going to get to this saving the world thing or what? CELESTIA: The gems are in place. Discord swallows the glass, drink, licorice straw. With his eyes closed he teleports across from Celestia. He then places his hands onto the table, opening his eyes, looking at celestia threw the tops of his eyes. Celestia takes in a deep breath and slightly lift's a hoof. She then lowers her head. Discord closes his eyes again. The other ponies and gristle watch. They all wonder, could new elements really be made? And what would it mean for their fate within this planet? Suddenly the room goes dark. All of the light and color is sucked away, leaving everything black and white. Everyone looks around at each other getting increasingly nervous. Twilight hushes the crowd and looks on at her mentor. Worrying about her choice. The gems start to vibrate and jump, then become electrically charged. They start blinking with color. Discord and Celestia start to age. Their life essence going into the gems. TWILIGHT: No... APPLEJACK: TWILIGHT, NO! Twilight Sparkle rushes over to them. She then starts concentrating on the gems also. The other ponies look at each other and rush over to her. They make a circle around the table pouring in their energy, wishes and emotions. DERPY: If... I'am this element... Watch over our filly, my love. DOCTOR WHOOVES: But... But you just got better. Derpy rushes over. She closes her eyes and starts concentrating also. Tears stream down her face, gritting her teeth. DERPY: Please... please... all I want... is a land of peace for my little pony to grow up in. i know that their will always be something bad. Just now... Please work, so that everypony can have a balanced life. I accept what ever future lays ahead for "ME"... as long as I'm with the ponies I love. The room goes into a silent boom. A wave of light rushes out of the castle, bursting all the stained glass windows and breaking down the doors. The light then is sucked back into the gems. the gems start to float and the colors of the castle are restored. But left in almost ruins. DARING DO: Well, I'll be... GRISTLE: Some adventure, huh? DARING: I believe that it is just getting started.
