Suddenly The changeling queens army appears. They blacken the sky with their numbers. They head toward the fighting royals. Princess Celestia blast a wave of fire with rolling, roaring balls of fire toward them and the queen. Luna flies toward another part of the castle. Moments later Luna Arrives in full body armor and the canterlot fleet behind her. They head toward the changeling army. The war of Canterlot and Changelings had begun. All started in the name of love and want. Like Helen of troy, before him. Discord's face launched 1,000 hooves racing in battle toward each other. SHINING ARMOUR: TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT: Oh, my stars! SHINING ARMOUR! The two siblings rush each other and embrace. They release each other and sigh. TWILIGHT: Where have you been?! SHINING ARMOUR: Trying to find a way through Discord's barrier. We saw the flash of light and then Luna came to see us. Are those the Elements of Harmony, but I- TWILIGHT SPARKLE: No they are the new elements of Balance. But I will explain that later. What can we do to stop this, this war?! Shining Armour looks around. He then looks out at the fight. Galloping toward the window, thinking and planning. He stomps his hoof and sighs. SHINING ARMOUR: It is a war, twilight. Sometimes their are no clear answers. It might last for days or years. Reports tell me that the changeling queen adsorbed a large amount of power. Then Princess Celestia is enraged to the point of turning into galloping flames. Wars are fought because of an unbalance. If these new elements of yours are truly for balance then pour the power that you have within your souls and concentrate it on the fight. then I can send my best colts and mares to apprehend the changeling queen. TWILIGHT: Yes! Yes, Shining Armour. Alright girls. this is what we will do. Doctor whooves. Gristle, Daring Do. We need your help also. DARING DO: Just when I thought I was not needed. The ponies and Gristle make a circle. They start discussing a plan to take down the changeling queen. DARING DO: There is one problem. My wing... Or lack of there of. RAINBOW DASH: What do you mean? Daring Do takes off her jacket. She shows them that she only has one wing. The right wing was missing and the only thing was a scar. DARING DO: Some hero, huh? GRISTLE: Daring- DARING DO: I was an adventurer... children looked up to me. I was even called by princess celestia. And no... In the greatest time of Equestria's need. Im useless. RAINBOW DASH: You will always be a hero. I was sick in bed. All of me broken. Your "daring" and bravery helped me to rise again. And even if all of you was nothing but one leg. I will stick by you and fight by your side. DERPY: We need you, no matter how you are or how you see yourself. You are the hero that we know and love. It would be an honor, daring do! Daring Do lowers her head. Her hat covering her face as tears drip. gristle puts her paw to her mouth and sniffles. Daring raises her head and nods. DARING DO: Where do you want me? STORYTELLER: I might be able to help. DINKY: Story teller! STORYTELLER: I know her weakness. The story teller staggers to the group of ponies. It's front left leg was flashing and cracked. The wings were torn and it's core badly injured. It was grey in color and scared throughout with flashes of deep electricity within it's body. The storyteller starts telling what it knows to the ponies. The Changeling Queen and Celesta of the Sun stand apart, yards away, within the sky. The fighting armies were on the ground. The houses and stores were being demolished or used as temporary forts and clinics. The famous doughnut shop was one of those clinics for the canterlot army. QUEEN CHANGELING: You can fight with me until this city turns to dust, like your Discord. But I shall be victorious. Celestia was about to charge the changeling queen, when the ponies and gristle arrive in the sky. The ponies and gristle were flying by the temporary spell of wings. CHANGELING QUEEN: You just do not know when to surrender. You can not kill pure raw emotion. Do you not know that love is the most powerful thing within the universe?! STORYTELLER: But the way that you are using it is wrong. And I told them how to stop you. TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!
