//------------------------------// // 15 The Seventh Element // Story: Ponies & Keyblades // by GoneGuy //------------------------------// "What is that?!" Discord asked, viewing the boy's new keyblade. As Sora spoke, it was as if Roxas, Princess Celestia's, and his own voice spoke all at once. "Harmony has been restored. The light shall defeat the darkness." Sora leaped at the foe, hitting him hard in the head, and using the monster's own horns to swing around to his back, lighting his tail on fire with a quick fire spell. Then a spectacular flash of light occured. His friends were there, all returned to their colors! "Girls! You're ok!" "OF COURSE we're ok, Sora." Twilight remarked. The new blade then began to glow with a spectacular golden color, splitting into six keyblades, one each heading into the maws of the six other ponies. Each was colored in it's master's colors, orange, pink, white, purple, yellow, and blue, and ended with their Element jewel on the end, decorated with the characteristics of their personalities. The six ponies then jumped to Sora's side, each brandishing their new blade valiantly, and placed them all in a circular formation. Sora knew what to do. He placed his own Kingdom Key into the circle of blades, and a spectacular rainbow shot out of the center, hitting Discord and knocking him to the ground, nearly unconscious. Sora approached the king of chaos, lying on the ground, and raised his blade above his throat as the others looked away. He prepared himself, and brought the blade down. Just short of hitting him. "I.... I can't do it," he said, looking at his friends, "you all taught me that everypony deserves a second chance to make right and experience the magic of friendship." He looked at Discord, and got up into his face. "But if you ever, EVER do anything like that to my friends again, I might not be so merciful!" Then Discord began to laugh. He stood up, and snapped his fingers, returning the chunk of earth to it's origin. And then they appeared. Heartless. Thousands of Heartless. The seven ponies gathered in a circle, backs to one another, grasping their blades in their maws. "Have fun, my little ponies!" Discord shouted as he flew off, straight towards Canterlot. Each pony began to fight like they never had before, even Fluttershy, brandishing their blades as if they had done it all their lives, combining their special talents with a little fancy swordplay. Pinkie armed her party cannon, blowing away a horde of heartless in a spectacular blast of cake batter, streamers, balloons, and candy. Twilight and Rarity used their magic defensively to aid the fight, as Applejack bucked and lasso'd, while Rainbow used her snazzy flight powers to blast away the monsters. Realizing they could not defeat this army alone, Twilight got an idea. "Everypony! Get together!" Following directions, the seven ponies all met in the center, and Twilight began to recite a spell, as Sora protected the group. Suddenly, all his new friends began to rise off the ground, and a spectacular flash of light occured, as six words began to fill everypony's mind. Honesty. Laughter. Generosity. Loyalty. Kindness. Magic. Then, a seventh word. Light. Sora too began to rise, and a beautiful rainbow shot out of their midst, destroying each and every heartless. Sora's six friends had seen this before, but something different had happened.... A seventh color in the rainbow, blue as the ocean. As they all landed gently upon the ground, Pinkie made a startling realization. "Look everypony! Sora's got one of our special necklace thingies too!" True to her words, a golden necklace now hung round Sora's neck, with an ocean blue crown gem emblazed on the front. "We can celebrate this later, girls. Right now, Discord's probably in Canterlot!" Sora said, reminding the group of their mission.
