The Magic of the Earth

The Battle (Part 2)


“Where did you send Princess Celestia?” Twilight shouted.

Discord laughed. “Somewhere… toasty,” he grinned.

Twilight stared at Discord in disbelief. It felt like her whole life had been shattered right in front of her eyes. She had no clue how she would be able to get Princess Celestia back from her place on the sun. It took 1,000 years to get Princess Luna back, and that only happened because of the position of the stars. “GIVE HER BACK!” she screamed, sending a bolt of magic towards the creature.

“Twilight, ya need to calm down,” applejack tried to console Twilight.

Tears were running down the Alicorns face. Princess Celestia was like Twilight’s second mother. She taught her everything that she knew about magic.

“You won’t get away with this!” Twilight screamed again. She had collapsed on the floor. The sky darkened, an eery red casting over the blue sky. Clouds followed suit, bringing in tinges of black along with the crimson red.

Dawn walked out from her place behind the throne. Although she was happy that Discord finally rose to power, she couldn’t believe everything that had happened. He was just sitting there, glaring at the 6 ponies trying to help Twilight calm down.

A few minutes later, a bright purple light gleamed. It grew brighter, and brighter, to the point where Dawn, Discord, and the other ponies had to shield their eyes from the light.

Twilight stood up, her horn glowing brighter than the sun. Her hair grew, and began to form waves. “Discord. I will never forgive you for this,” the crown upon her head began to shine, as well. When it did, the necklaces around her friend’s necks began to glow as well.

Twilight stomped towards Discord. “I will not let you hurt anypony anymore. I will not let you take away the friends I love! Fluttershy may be forgiving over many things, but I’m not so forgiving. I will show you what the Elements can do. And you will never be able to hurt anyone again!” Twilight shouted. Her eyes began to glow white, and she was lifted into the air by the power of the Elements. Her friends began to rise as well.

Discord looked scared. He didn’t know where all of this new found power was coming from. She was beginning to have as much power as Celestia, and he didn’t know where it was coming from.

A light began to shine from the ponies, revealing a rainbow. Discord knew what this meant and he knew that he could not stop it. Even with all the magic in the world, nothing can stop the magic of the Elements of Harmony. The Elements had kept him imprisoned for a thousand years. He knew how it worked. This time, they would make sure that he wouldn’t be able to be around anypony, that was he wouldn’t be able to break free from his stone cage.

The light grew and grew. Then, a bright rainbow entrapped Discord, leaving him in a stone cage.

A scream emitted from near the throne after Discord was sealed. An agonizing, bloodcurdling scream. Twilight had looked up from where she fell, and saw Dawn writhing on the floor. “Dawn!” she shouted, running across the room to Dawn.

Dawn began to twitch, and a purple and black light left her body. The light went into the stone encasing Discord.

“Dawn?” Twilight said, pushing her with her hoof.

A groan came from the pony before her. “Ugh. What- what is going on? Twilight?” Dawn gasped. “I’m free. I’m free!”She tried to stand up but fell back down again.

“Rainbow Dash! Go get a castle guard! We need to get her to the hospital!” Twilight yelled at the rainbow pegasus.

“It’s okay, Dawn. You’re okay,” Twilight said.
