  The next morning, Discord, Twilight, Flash, and Shade came across a line where grass died and there's a bleak wasteland on the other side.
“Here we are,” Discord said. He reached to the border and his claw was shocked. He backed away. “Yep, this is the border of the Outlands all right. Now, Twilight, all you need to do is illuminate your horn with Alicorn magic. The border will break apart for a few minutes which is a thousand-times longer than we need to walk across.”
“I hope you're right, Discord,” Twilight gulped.
Twilight's horn glowed a bright light. Flash and Shade covered their eyes and Discord poofed a pair of sunglasses in front of his eyes. The light shined brightly until it ended suddenly. Discord reached his claw in and there was no shock.
“Well, done, Twilight,” Discord congratulated. “Now, all we need to do is follow Shade to Princess Luna, beat the evil trio, and come back home to Canterlot for some ice cream and cotton candy. Now, as a mode of transportation, I was thinking roller-skates and rocket boosters. And then...”
“Discord,” Flash Sentry interrupted, “I know I'm not an expert on the Outlands like you, but since the three of us have wings and Shade can float, I don't see why we can't fly over the Outlands.”
Discord paused for a moment. “I did not think of that. All right, we'll do things the easy way.”
Everyone floated in the air.
“I sense Princess Luna is...” Shade said, “THIS WAY!”
Shade flew towards the horizon. Discord, Twilight, and Flash followed. Discord saw Flash and Twilight flying side by side and grinned. He bumped Flash with his tail and Flash shifted to Twilight. They both blushed and continued to fly; 'though, they couldn't take their eyes of each other.
“Oopsie,” Discord told the readers with a grin.

Later, at sunset, the four found a large Changeling camp. They landed behind some crates and saw the Changelings coming across the aisles.
“Changelings,” Discord said putting on a fedora. “Why'd it have to be Changelings?”
“Can we get through,” Flash asked.
“Easily,” Discord answered. “Just leave it to me.”
Discord walked from behind the crated and into the open.
“Discord,” Twilight whispered loudly. “What are you doing?!”
“YOU,” the Changeling, Fungus, shouted pointing at Discord. “You have some nerve coming here!”
“Relax, it's just me,” Discord said. “I'm your partner, remember?”
“Blister,” Fungus asked.
“Yes,” Discord lied. “I changed into Discord to get the drop on the ponies when they arrive.”
“Oh, and I suppose you're telling me to rub your plan in my face,” Fungus said.
“No, actually,” Discord said. “I'm telling you that I brought the ponies here. You'll find them around that corner.” Discord pointed at a bunch of tents where three pony-shaped shadows were projected on.
Fungus flew around the corner and started beating on the Changelings. The rest of the Changelings heard the struggle and went to investigate. Discord gestured his hand and they sneaked through the camp.
“FUNGUS, GET OFF OF US,” the three Changelings shouted while Fungus was attacking them.
“You're... Changelings,” Fungus asked.
“Well, we're not Breezies,” a Changeling answered. “You nearly poked another hole in my hoof! What's wrong with you?!”
“It's not my fault,” Fungus said. “Blister told me to do it!”
“I did what,” the real Blister asked.
In less then a second, Fungus tackled Blister and prepared to blast.
“Make a fool out of me, will you,” Fungus asked angrily. “Think I'm stupid, do you?!”
Meanwhile, Discord, Twilight, Flash, and Shade walked past the camp and saw a large chasm.
“I don't remember that being there,” Discord said.
“Princess Luna is down there,” Shade said. “We've got to get down there.”
“All right,” Twilight said. “Let's get down there.”
The group floated down the chasm. Within a minute, they reached the ground. Discord came down inside an elevator.
“Ground floor: shape-shifters, evil unicorns, and kidnapped princesses,” Discord said.
The four walked through the canyon until they found Princess Luna chained up. And above her was a large, creepy, stone wall. Discord and the others ran to Princess Luna and came to her. When Princess Luna opened her eyes, she saw them above her.
“You came,” Princess Luna said. “Thank you.”
“Well, you're our friend,” Twilight said. “And friends don't leave friends behind.”
“How sentimental,” a dark voice said. Everyone turned to see the hooded pony in the corner. “And here I thought sentiment was overrated.”
“You,” Twilight Sparkle shouted. “Release Princess Luna now!”
“So you must be Twilight Sparkle who gave Chrysalis and Sombra a hard time,” the hooded pony said. “You're the latest princess? They'll give any pony a crown these days.”
“HEY,” Flash Sentry shouted. “She's a great princess!”
“Be silent, peasant,” the hooded pony said. “I might say, I thought the rescue team would have some manners at least. Wouldn't you think so, Sombra?”
King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis appeared from the shadows.
“Oh, I don't know,” King Sombra said. “For a so-called princess, she had to rely on a baby dragon to do her job.”
“Hey, it worked, didn't it,” Discord shouted.
“Discord,” the hooded pony said. “I nearly forgot that you were here. I might say, even I couldn't foresee this reunion.”
“Reunion,” Discord repeated in a confusing tone. “Have we met before?”
“Don't tell me you don't recognize me,” the hooded pony said.
“Let me think,” Discord said. “Are you... Sauron? Freddy Krueger? OH, NO! DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE CHRIS BROWN!”
“Why do I even bother,” the hooded pony groaned. “Maybe this will help you remember.”
The hooded pony reached the front of his cloak and unhooked it. He removed the cape to reveal his black wings and a black stain Cutie Mark. His tail and mane was pitch black. He then removed his hood revealing his red eyes, his pointy teeth, and his razor-sharp horn. He stood there for a minute while Discord stared.
“Surprised, Discord,” the alicorn asked.
“I... still don't recognize you,” Discord answered.
The alicorn groaned and pulled out a black crown and placed it on top of his head. As soon as Discord saw him with his crown on, he gasped in panic.
“FALLEN,” Discord shouted. “But I...”
“Defeated me,” the alicorn said. “You thought you did.”
“Discord, what's this guy talking about,” Twilight asked. “Who is he?”
“Yeah, there's one bit of my story I didn't tell you guys about,” Discord introduced. “I remember it like it was yesterday.”
